Speaking of essential services—electric service
in South Texas homes has made possible the
cheerful donation of millions of hours of
volunteer work by patriotic South Texas
homemakers.
Cheap electricity is a time-saver. In the
home, it lights, cleans, cooks, washes and
brings up-to-the-minute news from fighting
fronts. The time and energy saved by cheap
electricity is a recognized weapon of war ,
when patriotically employed ... and cheap
electricity in the home renders a service
comparable to that of electric power in the
war plants producing the planes and ships,
guns and tanks needed for victory.
Our men and women in uniform are not
alone fighting this war for freedom. Their
fighting spirit is shared by civilians—both
men and women—who voluntarily perform
the thousand-and-one tasks that total war
imposes on the entire population.

ALTITUDE CLEARS
THE HEAD
A Chicago hospital has re-
ported an interesting medical
by-product from experiments it
has been conducting with a
chamber designed to study the
effects of high-altitude flying
on the human body. The cham-
ber is intended of course to re-
produce the atmospheric condi-
tions an aviator encounters. -
The doctors working with the
chamber have found that many
cases of sinus headaches have
been cured by use of the ap-
paratus. Apparently the nega-
tive pressure equivalent to
10,000 feet of altitude drained
the sinus spaces and thus re-
lieved headaches which no
other form of treatment had
been able to touch.
People used to take sea voy-
ages for their health. Possibly*
after the war we’ll hear of
friends who are making a stra-
tosphere flight to China “to
clear up my sinuses.”—Brook-
lyn Eagle.

Do Your Christmas
Shopping, Mailing,
Early for Fighters
America’s third wartime
Christmas seems a long way off
to citizens who mop damp brows
in August heat, but Christmas
packages must begin their long
journeys to fighting men over-
seas Sept. 15.
Packages to Army men may
be sent from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15,
while parcels to sailors and
Marines may be mailed until
Nov. 10. No written request is
required from the man over-
seas.
Under existing orders, pack-
ages cannot be accepted by post
offices after the dead lines with-
out a written request from the
man in service.
No perishables, poisons or in-
flammables, such as cigarette
lighters or matches, safety or
otherwise, can be sent. Packag-
es must be labeled Christmas
Gift Parcel and must not weigh
more than five pounds, must
not be more than fifteen inches
long and thirty-six inches in
length and girth combined.
For Prisoners of Japs
Next of kin to American
prisoners of war in Japan will
have to receive labels from the
Provost Marshal General au-
thorizing packages to be sent
prisoners and civil internees.
Sailing of the exchange ship
Gripsholm has been advanced
and packages for the Far East
must be in New York by mid-
night of Aug. 27.
If a package label bears the
incorrect address of a prisoner
it should be changed by enter-
ing the correct address and not
by returning to the Provost
Marshal General’s office for cor-
rection.
Parcels sent to prisoners of
war must not exceed eleven
pounds and must not be more
than eighteen inches in length
and forty-two inches in girth
and length combined. A label
of mailing from the War De-
partment is necessary.
Book and Tobacco Gifts
It is permissable to send
books or tobacco to prisoners
of war in Germany and Italy
without a permit if these ar-
ticles are purchased at certain
business concerns whih have
been authorized by the War De-
partment to mail such parcels.
No technical, scientific or
political reading matter can be
mailed to prisoners, such as
books on navigation, wharf and
code maps, nautical and air ma-
terial, almanacs, dictionaries,
calendars or enemy propagan-
da.
No books by Jewish authors
may be received by American
prisoners in Germany and cer-
tain other books are banned.
Parcels tor prisoners must
not be sealed and must be wrap-
ped in a manner to facilitate
opening for inspection. They
must not contain written or
printed matter or articles in
. glass containers.

wide circle of friends both in
Waller and Austin counties was

and Walter Kohler, which was
solemized at Hempstead Aug-
ust 14, with Judge A. B. Ander-
son officiating.

“SOMPIN’ REAL NICE”
For twenty years she had
worked one day a week for a
certain household in Lakewood,
Ohio. She had been treated
with consideration and kindness
and in the summer months,
when the family went away, she
had had vacations with half
pay. She was grateful and often
wished that she could do “som-
pin’ real nice” for the family.
Then an opportunity occurred
and she did—just that. During
a period when no potatoes were
to be had in the householder’s
district the worker arrived one
morning with a bulky package
of them in her arms. As she
came into the kitchen, panting
happily, her dark face was
shining with satisfaction.
This expression of gratitude
meant more than might be per-
ceived on the surface. The pota-
toes had been bought at some
distance from where the worker
lived. They had been carried,
first, to her home, then next
day to the streetcar, again in
the center of town where a
transfer had to be made, and
finally to her employer.

TRADER HORN AT WAR
Some people, it is said, will
work for neither love nor mon-
ey. Among them are the natives
of the South Pacific islands.
They won’t work for money,
certainly. That has no value to
them, but they will labor long
and eagerly for a piece of junk
jewelry, a pair of noisy shoes,
or a bar of chocolate.
Money was no incentive to
the native in Africa who hired
out as a servant to four Ameri-
can fliers for an old blue denim
hat. In Casablanca, an Ameri-
can official found a pocketful
of chocolate squares more use-
ful than money for tips.
Natives of the South Pacific
have no use for change or bills,
but find a pair of squeaky Am-
erican shoes a tempting prize
in exchange for goods and ser-
vices. Non-squeaking shoes are
not acceptable.
In many cities, junk jewelry
has been collected to be sent to
the armed forces in remote out-
posts, where trinkets of this
type will persuade natives to
transport wounded men, carry
supplies and munitions, and per-
form other tasks which they
would not consider worth the
effort for money.
We may be tempted to smile
at this from our civilized perch.
That is, until we stop to recall
that America’s pioneers and the
British who settled colonies in
Asia and Africa and Australia
indulged in a good bit of plain
and fancy trading in days gone
by, and then exchanges were
equally amusing as these today.
In fact, there is still a lot of odd
swapping going on. Indeed,
doesn’t it take more than mere
money to buy meat?—Christian
