Lewis A.

Raschen, stationed In Sicily, who writes to his father, S. Raschen of 532A 16th "He is a restless fellow and I have had this experience before. I love him and he has no grounds to apply for a divorce. Can he secure it in pit of my opposition, or what would you advise?" There is a rather common illusion that it Is possible for a service man to secure a "military divorce," which, of coarse, is not true. As a matter of fact, it is well nigh impossible for him to obtain a divorce in any State of the Union, in view of his absence from this country, because his personal testimony would be required before any court would grant a decree.

'DIPLOMACY NEEDED The wife's opposition would be enough to stop such proceedings. In many of these cases the man is merely writing at the behest of the new "flame" in order that he may be able to show the wife's denial of the request. 4 The wife" wisest procedure is to play for time.

It is not necessary to know the chaplain's name. Such letters clear through the chaplain's staff and the problem is assigned to the proper clergyman. The wife can write in confidence and be assured that it will not be violated.

In fact, more than likely the man will never know that the wife has written. to ride in taxis with men, to see me home anyway." A great deal depends on what the wife writes to her erring husband.

A stamped, addressed envelope Millions of infants, children, youths and adults of the middle or well-to-do classes as well as the poor in America suffer from mal nutrition although they are not de. prived of food at all, in fact most of them overeat.

Malnutrition does not mean wasting emaciation, underweight or un-dersize necessarily. Most persons with malnutrition are of normal average size and weight or overweight, and for that reason the manifestations of their malnutrition are often attributed to sheer laziness, carelessness or stupidity. Many individuals who have little appetite are overweight or obese, and many who have a good appetite and consume more than the aver-' age amount of food are underweight. Moreover, we know from everyday observation that many individuals who are overweight or obese and frequently indulge in "gorges'' on candy, sweets, sugar, nevertheless do not quite satisfy the hunger they feel, the constant hunger that drives them to such excesses even though they know effect is only aggravation of their condition. Describing mild vitamin deficiency Drs.

Vorhaus, Williams and Waterman (Jour. A. M. 11, 16, 35i said: "Mild deficiency of vitamin Bl usually goes unrecognized. There are vague pains, usually elicited only by pressure over the nerve roots, general malaise, anorexia lack of appetite) and constipation.

Small amounts of sugar may be present, in me urine, without hyperglycemia (too much sugar in the blood). There is usually a large carbohydrate (suear and starch intake, often a.ssoriated with a tendency to obesity. These cases are frequently classified as Dotential obesity." QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Brown or Red Better Than Green believe you hare staled that the iron and ammonium citrate you recommend jor the home made iron tonic comes in "garnet red 'calet or granules" and makes a oddish or brown, clear solution in water. Our druggist says green scales or granules of iron and ammonium citrate, making a green solution in uater, the same thing. s.

C. P. Answer Well, your druggist Is virtually, not absolutely, correct. The garnet-red scales or granules of iron and ammonium citrates contain a little more iron than Rreen scales or granules of green iron and ammonium citrates. The green kind is sometimes preferred for administration by injection, al-though "shots" of any iron preparation are generally too irritating to warrant such injections except in cases where iron is not assimilated in the ordinary way.

On that occasion his gas ran so low while approaching the English coast he could use only one motor. The other three engines were cut out and he had to make a crash landing.

One of the landings was in a wheat field near London. Returning with Captain Kney was the crew with which he left the United States last April. One of the other members, Lt. Edward Child, the navigator, also is a Long Island man. Plane Lost on Raid The captain said that his first plane was named Moonbeam Mc-Swain after the comic character in Little Abner.

This plane was lost on a raid while a substitute crew was flying it and Kney's next plane was named Yo-Yo, It Always Comes Back. This he flew until he received his frlough. Captain Kney receive ne of his decorations for participating in the famous raid over Schweinfurt last August in which the Yanks took a toll of 307 German planes. "They followed us all the way in and all the way back from the target," said Captain Kney. His plane was badly damaged by flak.

"We can't get any in England," he explained. Tells of Air Raids In discussing his trips over many German cities, Captain Kney said that although the Nazi airmen have plenty of courage, they seem to lack the quality they had In the early days in the war. He said they have a wholesome respect for the fire power of the Flying Fortresses and don't seem to relish too close contact with them. Captain Kney was proud of the fact that neither he nor any of his crew had suffered any injuries on their many raids, although on two 5 Boro, L. I.

FRIDAY, IIW me you on YOUR BIRTHDAY By Stella FRIDAY, OCT. 8 Born today, you are quick to learn and are exceptionally accurate in everything you undertake.

For Boys and Girls Grass Shears turned out more than 500 kinds. They range Irom tiny ones used in taking care of finger nails to large ones with blades more than a foot long. People usually call large scissors "shears." The best grades of scissors are made of forged steel. Cheaper kinds are made of cast steel. Some scissors have forged steel cutting edges nhich are welded to steel or iron of a lower grade.

In closing let me make a note that some persons get mixed up their verbs when they speak about scissors. The two blades make up a single cutting tool, but we should always say, The scissors and never "The scissors Only mhen we speak of a "pair" of scissors can we properly use the verb "is."

Arnold Stern's anniversary gift to his wife came several days after he was reported killed while piloting a B-26 Martin Marauder over Europe on Sept.

11. Arnold, who was married to the former Stella Newman of 85-37 160th Jamaica, on May 30, 1942, had sent his wife a purple orchid on the 30th day of every month since he went overseas six months ago. They met while they were students at Cornell University. Arnold received his pilot's license while still in college and hoped to make a career of aviation at the end of this war. "He enlisted Dec.

21, 1941. because he thought it was his duty," his father-in-law. Dr. I. Newman, said.

"It's a great consolation to us to know that he loved what he was doing," he added. The 22-year-old lieutenant, who had had a narrow escape before, seemed to lead a charmed life. When he was shipped to North Africa nine months ago his transport developed motor in mid-ocean. A tall, heavy-built man, the impact of the air tore most of Stern's clothes off his body when he leaped from the plane before his parachute opened. For an hour and a half the men floundered in windy, shark-infested waters before they were rescued bv a naw patrol boat.

His "Mae West" had been punctured in the fall and he had to swim without any support to keep afloat until relief came. He was returned to Fort Wayne, for a few months. His wife stayed with him there until he was sent overseas. Mrs. Stern, according to Dr.

Newman, is being "a good soldier." She has returned to college and upon her graduation on Oct. 17 will become a social case worker for the Red Cross. BUY U. 8. WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS Br Paul Foaortv II 1 Uncle Ray's Corner JL II ir.

Answer en Page 18 Ancient Scissors The word "scissors" came to us from France and the French got it from the Latin language. The Latin meaning was "cutters." The Romans had scissors, and so did the Greeks and Egyptians. Many ancient scissors were made from one piece of metal.

Blades were sharpened at each end of a metal strip, and then the strip was bent so that the blades met. Scissors of that kind seem to have been the first ever used. They have lasted down to the present day. but now we use them for cutting grass. The loop at the back is made of flexible steel, and this bends when the blades are pressed together.

When the pressure is taken away, the blades go back to position. If we work such scissors very long, we find that the muscles of the forearm grow tired. People in ancient times also learned to make scissors by forming two separate blades and fastening them together. A screw or metal pin can serve as a pivot for the two blades. Before the day of scissors people had to get along by using knives of one kind or another.

With knife it is possible to cut cloth, but only a knife with razor-sharp edge will cut cloth on an even line.
