expansion program, which is rushing all preliminary operations so that actual mining can get underway at the earliest possible date. The job of repairing the surface plant at Centennial began June 1 a crew consisting of J-jhn Bryant as leader, William Ekquist Homer Perrault, John Jackovich, Robert Fisher and Wesley Stapula. Because the plant has been shut down for 13 years, decay and corrosion have taken their toll. Complete repairs have been made to the collar, collar house, skip tracks and pulley stands, and much remains to be done to the engine house floor, rock dump and rock trestle.

Ridge Irnnwnod. Mich Author of-'Dirty'Gertie' Surprised by Popularity By JAMES THRASHER NBA Staff Correspondent Washington--The daughter of Mademoiselle from Armentiers Who hasn't bathed in twenty years but who gladdened the hearts of the soldiers in World War I-has been found. She is, like her old woman, somewhat unwashed, but she is fast becoming the most sung-about gal of World War II. She is Dirty Gertie from Bizerte. Dirty Gertie, strangely enough, wasn't discovered first in North Africa, but at Camp Lee, as a morning-after orphan in the mind if Pvt.

William L. Russell Of Pe'l- Manor. N. Y. It was a cold of last November, when Bizerte was fresh in the news.

Russell admits he had had a rather, bad night, and to relieve the pain, he started to compose a limei'ick. What he actually created was Dirty Gertie. Goggercd War Set To Music He sent it into "Yank" the soldier newspaper, where it appeared with other assorted doggerel in a column called "The Poets. Cornered." In due time it was -picked up by the North African edition of Star and Stripes. There it' caught the eye Sgt.

a Reif, who wrote the music for Capri" and other song hits. Reif set.Rus- sel's chorus to music and. the song his of North Africa was bom. It remained only for Sgt. Jack Goldstein to write a few verses, for the song to be incorporated into a soldier show, and for Josephine Baker, entertaining, the soldiers in North Africa, to start plug- gins it over a North African radio station.

Meantime, Russell had won an assignment to officers' training school and was stationed in Camp Edwards, Mass. He had gone to the trouble to take out a copyright on his chorus gal, but otherwise he had forgo ten her till he happened to notice a line in a dispatch from North Africa that Dirty Gertie was being sung by the soldier; there. Russell can't sing or even whistle a tune, so he thought it a bit strange that his words were being sung. Finally Hears From Composer But all this time, a letter from Composer Reif to Lyricist Russell had been chasing around the country from one Army camp to another. It finally was delivered to Camp Edwards, and much to Russell's surprise, he found that Reif had given Russell authority to sign contracts for publication of the song in the U.

S. Russell is now at Walter Reid Hospital, in Washington, but as soon as the doctors let him out, he's heading for New York to see what can be done about it. Russell is now a lieutenant, and is a little surprised at his sudden fame. He wrote some verse when he was in Cornell, and did a little humor for a magazine. But it didn't pay out like Gertie is going to.

All Russell has to about his success is that "Mother isn't very proud of Gertie." But the Army thinks she's wonderful, and she'll probably go down in history. Army Times has printed the air, and will distribute the words as part of the Army's song hit parade program. Most of the verses to Gertie, like most of the verses to "Mademoiselle from Armentiers," can't be printed. But a few of the scrubbed-up and more quotable verses wll appear in IV.j published song version, including: Dirty Gertie from Bizerte, Says he's twenty, though she's thirty. She's the gal whose name is spoken.

From Algiers back to Hobokon. You don't have to have three guesses, CORN EAR WORM IS Simple Treatment By Gardener Well Worth Effort. Victory gardeners who are troubled with the corn ear worm in their fields'of sweet corn can readily control. this condition. The larvae hatch from eggs laid on the silks of.

The medicine dropper is inserted about one-fourth inch into the silk mass just inside the tip of the husks. The oil quickly penetrates the silk mass, kills worms feeding there and prevents the entry of others.

It is well "to "'wait at least three -days after the "silk first emerges from the tip of the ear before applying By time the silks should be wilted and tips beginning to turn If applied too soon the oil interferes with pollination, but If application 'is delayed more than seven days after silking the ear may start feeding on the kernels and cannot be reachec With the The victory gardener who treats his corn for ear worms as directed above will be well repaid by a harvest of perfect ears.

Part of the cost must be paid with human life.

That means deep and lasting hurt for many and many an American family. Part ol; the cost must paid in cash this September. And that's going to hurt, too! Remember! He's An American Soldier! To pay for invasion--to get the money to keep our fighting machine going--you, and every man or woman in America, are asked to invest in at least one extra $100 Bond in September. $100 EXTRA, mind you--for everybody! Sure--it's going to hurt. It's going to take more than spare cash this time--more than just money that might have gone for fun.

It's going to take money we have tucked away.
