A Texan who has been overseas
and seen much action in the war says
the war can and will be won against
Germany in the air with bombs, and
from all recent reports his ideas are
working out very satisfactorily. He
says the destruction of cities, ammuni-
tion centers and manufacturing plants
as well as railroads will do the job.
From all reports the allies are grow-
ing stronger and better prepared for
such destructive attacks with each
passing day.

Selective Service Director Hershey
said the size of the Army this year has
been increased from the 4,500,000 total
announced as the 1942 objective by
Chief of Staff Marshall in June. Gen.
Hershey said he expected married men
with children would be called “the last
quarter of 1943 at the very earliest,
but I would like to hedge to the extent
that the Army’3 requirements may go
up"; 18 and 19-year-olds must be
drafted next year, or “1,000,000 or 1,-
600,000 family men” will be taken; and
it is expected unmarried men with de-
pendents will be called this year.
.At Staneville, Miss., scientists of
'the Delta Experiment Station are do-
ing chemically what millions of leaf-
worms have done here, strip the rank
foliage from cotton plants and admit
sunlight to ripen bolls and speed up
picking. Dr. E. W. Dunnam and P.
W. Gull of the station, in co-operation
with American Cynamid Company’s
J. W. Culpepper, find that an applica-
tion of ten to thirty pounds of dusting
grade of cynamid strips the leaves in
a few days, without the disadvantage
of stained lint, as results from the at-
tack by leafworms. This new method
may be an important step toward
making the mechanical cotton picker
or machine stripper a Cotton Belt
standard implement. Without leaf
trash mixed with the fibers it is prob-
able that machines will gather cotton
just as clean as human fingers, and
much faster, it is said.
Miss Jane Schmidt, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Schmidt, 904 West 30th
St., Austin, and William F. Hafer,
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hafer of
Clifton, were married last Saturday
at 5 p.m. in the University Methodist
Church. The Rev. Edmund Heinsohn
officiated in the rites which were
made before an altar massed with
palms and lighted by cathedral candles
in floor candelabra.
Jack Fisher was at the organ for
the wedding music, and Mrs. Malcolm
Gregory sang “Indian Love Call” and
“Because.”
The bride’s father, Karl H. Schmidt,
gave her in marriage. Miss Carrielyn
Schmidt was maid of honor to her sis-
ter. She wore yellow taffeta with an
overskirt of yellow net appliqued with
taffeta flowers, and carried rose
dahlias tied with pink satin gibbon.
Miss Marjory Schmidt and Miss
Martha Rutland served as bridesmaids.
Miss Schmidt, a sister of the bride,
wore aqua taffeta with a net over-
dress of the same color appliqued with
aqua flowers, and Miss Rutland wore
pink taffeta made after the same de
sign. Both carried rose dahlias with
pink satin ties.
The bride’s gown of white duchess
satin was made with fitted bodice and
long sleeves. The yoke, surrounding
the V-shaped neckline, was elaborately
embroidered in a floral pattern in seed
pearls. The same motif in seed pearls
was repeated in the headdress from
which fell the tulle veil that covered
the train of the bridal gown. She
carried white roses and stephanotis
tied with white satin ribbon.
Victor Conrad of Corpus Christi was
best man and Charles Adkins of Aus-
tin and Robert Neeley of Bellville were
the ushers.
A reception at the home of the
bride’s parents immediately followed
the ceremony. Greeting the guests at
the door were Mr. and Mrs. Karl H.
Schmidt, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hafer,
and the' bridegroom and bride.
Fall flowers decorated the home.
The bride’s table was laid with white
lace and centered with an arrange-
ment of white roses and crystal with
white tapers.
Mrs. Russel McNamee, aunt of the
bride, presided at the punch bowl, and
the bride’s book was in charge of Miss
Rose McNamee.
The bride’s mother, Mrs. Karl H.
Schmidt, wore a dinner dress of brown
crepe with a corsage of Johanna Hill
roses. Mrs. W. C. Hafer, mother of
the bridegroom, wore an attractive
dress of black sheer with corsage of
white gardenias.
For going away, Mrs. Hafer chose
a suit of black faille with gold
trimmings, and black accessories, and
a corsage of talisman roses. After a
short wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs.
Hafer will be at home at 618% Boule-
vard, Galveston, Texas.
Mrs. Hafer was a junior in the Uni-
versity of Texas, and is now connected
with the U. S. Engineers in Galveston.
Mr. Hafer, a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Texas, is now sophomore in
the University School of Medicine in
Galveston.
Out-of-town guests attending the
wedding were Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Hafer, Misses Elsie, Pauline and
Esther Hafer of Clifton, Mrs. Clayton
McMayhill of Brackettsville, Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Hafer of Brenham, Texas,
and Miss Wanda Barton of Somer-

Postmaster General Bars
Police Gazette From Mails
The National Police Gazette was
barred from the mails Sunday night
in a ruling by Postmaster General
Frank Walker which accused it of
“profitably pandering to the lewd and
lascivious” and which indicated the
Post Office Department’s policy on
risque reading matter and pictures.
Hawaii Doesn’t Want
Mexican Jumping Beans
Recently in Hilo, Hawaii, 99 Mexi-
can jumping beans were executed in
a gas chamber. The quarantine offi-
cer of the Territorial Board of Agri-
culture announced he had destroyed
the beans, which were brought there
for sale as oddities. A jumping bean
holds within the larva of the carpocap-
sa Salitans, a little moth. This worm,
lashing about in the hollow shell of
the bean, gives the bean its motive
power. Hawaii doesn’t want the pest,
carpocapsa, in the Islands.
Kaiser Ordered To Make
Seven-Motor Cargo Planes
Production Chief Donald M. Nelson
announced last week that at his re-
quest the Defense Plant Corporation
had given Henry J. Kaiser, West
Coast shipbuilder, a letter of intent
covering construction of three experi-
mental cargo planes. Nelson, empha-
sizing that this was as far as the War
Production Board could go at the
present time, said the three ships
would be built at the Culver City,
California, plant of Howard Hughes,
noted aircraft designer. The ships
will be twin-hull -flying boats, each
with a capacity of sixty tons.
By 1943 Army To Have
Ten Million Men in Service
Selective Service Director Lewis B.
Hershey indicated recently that more
than 10,000,000 Americans will be un-
der arms by .the end of 1943, even
though the uncertainties of the war
preclude any authoritative forecast of
the ultimate strength to which the
Army and Navy will grow. Hershey
and his aides gave these guides to
future operations of the draft in an
interview clarifying and recapitulat-
ing the various orders and announce-
ments issued piece-meal in recent
weeks.

Senate Approves F. D. R.
Price, Pay Order
The Senate banking and currency
committee has approved legislation
directing President Roosevelt to issue
—on or before November 1—a general
order stabilizing prices, wages, and
other cost-of-living factors at Sept.
15 levels. The bill appears to vest
President Roosevelt with all the dis-
cretionary anti-inflation powers he de-
manded in his September 7 you-do-it-
or-I-will ultimatum to Congress. How-
ever it still must pass the Senate, and
the powerful farm bloc already is
geared to fight for amendments writ-
ing in rigid restrictions on presidential
control of farm parity prices.

King George Limits Royal
Bath To Five Inches of Water
King George, the royal family, and
everyone else at Buckingham Palace
and Windsor Castle will bathe in no
more than five inches of water from
now on. It is a part of Britain’s! fuel-
conservation plan, in which the King
is taking a leading role. The monarch
has ordered each bathtub in the royal
household painted with a black or red
line at the five-inch level and a notice
posted calling attention to the neces-
sity for fuel economy, the British
Press Association announced Sunday.
Also, the King directed that not more
than one small bulb shall .be lighted in
bathroom or in any of the palace
bedrooms and that all additional bulbs
be removed.

Pressure to Be Given
Auto Seizure Bill Again
Senator Sheridan Downey (Dem.)
of California Has renewed the demand
that President Roosevelt be given
congressional authority to take over
automobiles and other transportation
equipment for war purposes. He re-
called that the Baruch rubber commit-
tee’s report emphasized “the extreme
necesstiy of conserving rubber and all
transportation equipment.” Downey
announced he would press for imme-
diate action by the Senate military
committee, of which he is a member
on a bill by Chairman Robert R. Rey-
nolds (Dem.) <rf North Carolina, to
authorize an expenditure up to five
billion dollars to pay owners of auto-
mobiles and other equipment the gov-
ernment might aequir.e Hearings on
the bill were suspended several weeks
ago after President Roosevelt indi-
cated that commandeering of auto-
mobiles would be ordered only as a
last resort, but Reynolds said he would
reopen them upon Downey’s request.
Anti-Aircraft Shell Lands
In New York City Garden
Accidentally discharged from a
craft in New York Harbor last Thurs-
day, an anti-aircraft shell landed in
the garden of a residence at Wester-
leigh, Staten Island. The Eastern De-
fense Command announced that no
damage was done and no injuries in-
curred when the shell exploded. Driv-
ing into the ground three feet, the
shell struck in the garden of Mrs.
Selma Dohlmar. Mrs. Dohlmar de-
scribed the incident as a loud thud.
The shell exploded in mid-air. For a
while there was considerable excite-
ment among citizens of the village in
the interior of Staten Island, which
is in New York Harbor.
Finns Ready For Peace When
Land’s Security Established
Diplomatic interest centered Sunday
on a statement by Finnish Minister
Hjalmar J. Procope that “Finland
wants to cease fighting as soon as the
threat to her existence has been
averted and guarantees obtained for
her lasting security.” .Some thought
this utterance could be construed as
a bid for peace by Finland in its war
against Russia, or at least a feeler on
possible peace terms. Procope issued
his statement at the conclusion of a
press reception at the legation late
Saturday night. Food prospects for
Finland were better, and the nation’s
future “looks somewhat brighter,” he
said.
