constructing and flight testing of the
army air forces’ new jet propulsion
plane is pointed by the war depart-

free country of the safeguarding of
security by press, civilians and the
military.
The period of secrecy cloaking
the plane extended from July, 1941,
to January 6, 1944, during which
time it was never the subject of pub-
lic comment or speculation.

LEGAL NOTICES
Ever since we saw the Cary
Grant - Larraine Day picture, “Mr.
Lucky,” we’ve been afraid that you
teens would adopt the new rhyming
Jabberwocky that Cary teaches Lar-
raine. And, our worst fears are
realized. Teen agers are now con-
founding even themselves with this
new talk which substitutes “Tit for
Tat” for hat; which says “North
and South” when it means mouth
and calls a nose an “I suppose.”
You get the idea don’t you? In-
stead of saying the word you mean,
you substitute a rhyme. A boy could
be a “pride and joy”; a girl could
he a “dip and twirl.” Well, any-
thing’s better than the Little Moron,
we always say.

That plaintiff and defendant were
duly and legally married on April 1st,
1920, and are now, in law man and
wife, though they have ceased to live
and cohabit together as such since.
April, 1938.
That as the fruits of said marriage
there was born to them four children,
all of whom are now grown and mar-
ried with the exception of Ellis Burn-
ham, Jr., who is now of the age of 17
years. That there is no community
property to be divided between the par-
ties to this suit.
That subsequent to the date of mar-
riage, plaintiff conducted himself with
kindness and forbearance, but that the
defendant, disregarding the solemnity
of her marriage vow about one year
prior to the date of separation as here-
inbefore alleged, commenced a course
of harsh and cruel and tyrannical
treatment towards plaintiff and com-
mitted outrages towards him of such
a nature as to render their living to-
gether insupportable; all of which
caused plaintiff herein mental and
physical suffering of such a nature as
to render their further living together
insupportable, and he and here and
now asserts that he will never again
do so, and he believes that reconcilia-
tion between himself and said defend-
ant is impossible.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays that
defendant be cited to appear and an-
swer this petition and that upon final
hearing, he be granted a divorce for-
ever dissolving the bonds of matrimony
existing between them, etc., as is more
fully set forth in said original peti-

Six more guides to the foreign
languages encountered by American
soldiers throughout the world have
been issued, the war department
has announced.
The guides are separate hand-
books on the Spanish, Portuguese,
Russian, Greek, Japanese and Ger-
man languages. Chinese, French,
Italian and North African Arabic
guides previously have been an-
nounced.
Purpose of the language guides is
to give the soldier enough instruc-
tion to enable him to carry on sim-
ple conversations in the tongue in
use where he is stationed. The
guide carries the information to him
through the eye. Phonograph records
also are used so that the soldier
may hear how the language sounds.
No attempt is made in the guides
to give soldiers a complete com-
mand of a language. Soldiers desir-
ing additional study of languages
may apply for the full courses given
by the United States Armed Forces
institute, Madison, Wis.
Study of the guides, however, will
provide the rudiments of everyday
conversation. The booklets give nu-
merous phrases, words and sen-
tences in common usage. The Eng-
lish words are followed by their
equivalent in the foreign tongue and
by their ■ phonetic reproduction.
Especial attention is paid to pro-
nunciation of the vowels since their
values often vary considerably from
those of the English.
The soldier is reminded that he
cannot get the sound of a language
by the printed word alone, but that
he must use his ears even more
than his eyes. He is encouraged to
practice using the words. And, says
each guide, “Say it LOUD.”
Each of the languages covered by
the guides has a definite use to
American soldiers somewhere. For
example, troops are stationed at va-
rious places in or near South Amer-
ica, where Spanish is the mother
tongue. More than 60,000,000 people
in South and Central America, Mex-
ico, and the Caribbean area speak
it. The 45,000,000 people in Brazil
speak Portuguese. The Russian
tongue ranks after Chinese and Eng-
lish as the third most widespread
language in the world.

Will you list some of the qualifi-
cations of a gentleman, and some
pointers to follow?
Answer—Every move that a gen-
tleman makes is prompted by a
sense of courtesy and a desire to
protect. He will not take advantage
of his fellowmen.
He will not discuss his own pri-
vate affairs overmuch, and never in
public, and won’t gossip about his
friends. He won’t argue with cab
drivers, waiters and salespeople,
but, if necessary, will settle any dif-
ferences quietly.
He is always courteous to all wom-
en and never discusses any of his
women friends with others.

STOCKING CAP—An old silk or
nylon stocking will make a swell
stocking cap. First dye it in a

and tie a knot at the top. Cut off
the foot section and bind with bias

and other points had knowledge of <
the jet propulsion plane. 1
A number of newspaper, maga- 1
zine and trade paper writers and 1
executives also are known to have
come into information- concerning I
the plane, all of whom kept quiet.
Enemy in Dark, Too. (
The enemy probably also was un-
aware of the extent to which jet
propulsion development had been .
carried by the United States, a fact
attributed directly to the uphold-
ing of security by individuals in-
volved. .
The story of the secrecy surround-
ing the plane’s development is not
without drama. It was constructed
at a secret plant pn one seaboard, :
transported across the country, and
tested on another seaboard.
The plane is still without an offi-
cial public designation, but during
the years of development it has
been known variously as “Putt-
Putt,” “Squirt,” “Hush-Hush,” “Si-
beria,” and “Super Secret.”
No Propeller.
The prime difference in the out-
ward appearance of the jet propul-
sion plane in contrast with others is
that it does not have a propeller.
Once when the plane was trans-
ported by truck from one testing
site to another a dummy wooden
propeller was attached, successfully
cloaking its identity.
When the first ship was ready foi
shipment across the continent foi
testing it was disassembled by Bell
Aircraft and crated in a single box.
Military personnel, living aboard a
caboose, escorted the craft. The
plane and its engines have been pro-
tected always by a 24-hour guard.
In later months, after the plane
had been flown many times and its
existence became more widely
known, its security status was never
violated by those entrusted with
its development.
Thus, the plane earns its title as
one of the war’s best kept secrets,
due to the voluntary cooperation
of the many individuals responsible
for the plane’s development and con-
struction.
It is to be emphasized that many
details of the plane still are a secret
which the war department expects
all individuals to uphold.

Halloween C trades. Superstitions
make perfect subjects for some
good old - fashioned melodrama.
Write familiar superstitions on slips
of paper and let the guests pick
them from a hat. Then each one
in turn must dramatize his super-
stition without speaking, while the
others try to guess what he is do-
ing. There will be much hilarity
when someone tries to pantomime
the belief that “an open umbrella in
a house will bring death to the house
within a year,” or that “if you try
on another person’s wedding ring,
you will never marry.”
The Old Witch Died. Have your
guests stand in a circle with one of
them as leader. He turns to the
person dn his left and says aloud,
“The Old Witch has died.” The sec-
ond player asks, “How did she die?”
“With one shut eye,” says the lead-
er, shutting one eye. The second
player then tells the same story to
the third player and it is passed
around the circle till everyone has
one eye shut. The second time
around the leader says, “With one
shut eye and a shoulder, high.”
When everyone is doing this, he
says, “With one shut eye and a
shoulder high and her mouth awry.”
The fourth time around will find ev-
eryone trying frantically to stand
“with one shut eye and a shoulder
high and (her) mouth awry and
(her) foot in the sky.” Try it and
see if you can hold this position till
the circle is completed!

In these days of ghosts and gob-
lins the most frequent topic of con-
versation, especially among young-
sters from 6 to 60, is Halloween.
There are the annual questions of
what to eat and what to wear to
the party, whether it be a commu-
nity masquerade or just a family
spook session. And usually the big-
gest problem is what to do. Of
course you will .play all the old
games—bobbing for apples in a tub
of water and hunting for your true
love in a magic mirror—but family
and friends always appreciate some-
thing new. Here are some sugges-
tions you may use for large or small
groups:
A Bean Says. This is good for a
masquerade party before the guests
have discovered each other’s identi-
ty. As each “unknown” arrives,
give him 20 beans and send him to
guess the names of the other guests.
For example, a Pirate guest may go
up to the first Old Witch he sees and
whisper, “A bean says you are
Mary Jones.” If the guess is cor-
rect, Mary Jones gives the Pirate
one bean; if wrong, the Pirate must
give the Witch a bean. This goes
on until all the guests have arrived
and everyone has had a fair chance
to collect beans. Then find the win-
ner with the most beans!
Apple Sauce. This is a modern
version of apple bobbing and just as
much fun! Divide the party into
teams of three and give every team
an apple, a paring knife and a large
pan of water. At the signal, Num-
ber One on each team pares the
apple And passes it on .to Number
Two? I - quarters it, cores the quar-

“One reason we are running well

Soldier war bond purchasers are
setting aside approximately $30,000,-
000 a month from their pay to help
buy the arms they are using with
such devastating effect against the
enemy, the war department has an-
nounced.
One out of every three army men
and women is investing in war
bonds, according to the army war
bond office of the army service
forces at Chicago, Illinois. Between
April 1 and November 30, 1943, they
invested $197,086,568.
An estimated 1,005,505 bonds were
issued in December, the bond head-
quarters announced, and a new peak
is expected to be reached in Janu-
ary, with the issue of some 1,520,-
714 bonds to army investors.
A large majority of the army in-
vestments are of small denomina-
tions. During November, 40 per cent
of those investing in war bonds set
aside $3.75 each from their monthly
pay. Purchasers in this group will
receive a $25 bond every five
months. Another 26 per cent allo-
cate $6.25 each per month, and re-
ceive a $25 bond every three months.
Slightly more than 6 per cent allot
$12.50 monthly for a $50 bond every
three months.
In terms of the total amount of
money invested by purchasers, the
most important single bond-buying
plan is that under which the soldier,
WAC or army nurse allots $18.75
per month from his or her pay for
a $25 bond. More than a fifth of all
army investors favor this plan, it
was announced, and those in this
category invested a total of $11,485,-
452 in war bonds during November.
Six per cent of all army investors
set aside monthly sums ranging
from $27.50 to $375, it was disclosed

THE UNIO N RE VI E W
By AFL News Service.
Washington, D. C.—Full employ-
ment and full production are twin
keys to world peace in the post-war
period.
A program of international economic
collaboration aimed at using the keys
was laid before the Senate in a joint
resolution introduced by Senators El-
bert D. Thomas (D., Ut.), Harley M.
Kilgore (D., W. Va.), -and Harry S.
Truman (D., Mo.).
The resolution would set up a for-
eign economic commission to serve as
a clearing house for the many diverse
thoughts and opinions on economic
policies. On it would be representatives
of government, business, labor, agri-
culture and the public, all working
through a single medium and building
new horizons for the economic pro-
gress of our own and other nations.
In a joint statement, the three Sen-
ators said “the future peace depends
upon an economically healthy U. S.,
in an atmosphere of hope to open up
and we cannot have economic health
without a volume of foreign trade
above and beyond anything we have
ever had before.
The Senators warned that “the fu
ture peace depends on the abandon-
ment of political nationalism and eco-
nomic imperialism and autarchy (self-
sufficiency) ; they called for extension
of the Good Neighbor Policy and said
that by doing so quickly “we can fore-
stall the growth of areas of economic
disaffection which eventually enlarge
into world wars.”
The State of Texas, to Albert Julian
Tatum, Jr., Greeting:

before 10 o’clock a. m., before the
Honorable District Court of Galveston
County, at the Court House in Galves-
ton, Texas.
Said plaintiff’s petition was filed on
the 27th day of January, 1944.

tual bona fide inhabitant of the State
of Texas for more than twelve months
and has resided in the County of Gal-
veston for more than six months next
preceding the filing of this petition.
The residence of the defendant is to
the plaintiff unknown.
Plaintiff and defendant were legally
married on February 8, 1940, and lived
together as husband and wife until
September, 1943, when on account of
the conduct of the defendant towards
the plaintiff they separated and have
not lived nor cohabited together since
that date.
There were no children born of this
marriage nor is there any community
property to be divided between them.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays that de-
fendant be cited to appear and answer
this petition and upon final hearing
