New Type Jar
Designed to Save
War Material
A new home-front weapon—de-
signed to conserve vital war mate-
rials in food packaging—has been
announced.
It’s a jar for glassed coffee which,
thanks to a new extra lid which can
be obtained separately, will be used
for both commercial packaging of
foods and later for home preserv-
ing. Introduction of the new lid is
in line with the government’s sug-
gestion that commercial glass con-
tainers be designed to have a def-
inite reuse value, thus conserving
both material and labor.
The trick lies in a separate, thin,
composition-lined lid which is avail-
able at grocer’s. Printed on the
original screw cap of the jar are in-
structions for reuse of the jar in
home preserving and how to use the
extra lid in the operation.
When Mrs. Housewife has emptied
the contents of the jar and wishes
to reuse the container herself,
send it to a friend for home pre-
serving. she first scrapes off the
composition sealing on the inside of
the original screw-on cap
Next the jar is filled with home
preserves and the new lid is placed
over the mouth of the jar. By
screwing on the outside cap which
came with the jar, enough pressure
is supplied to make an airtight
closure. When the jar cools an in-
ternal vacuum will have been
formed and the outer cap is re-
moved. The lid which remains on
the jar will seal the contents in-
definitely. No rubber rings are nec-
essary.
Plans for collecting empty jars
from housewives in urban commu-
nities who do not preserve at home
arc now being worked out by the
U. S. department of agriculture and
other government agencies. Girl
Scouts and other organizations will
be asked to co-operate with the gov-
ernment in collecting and shipping
the empties to rural sections where
they will be reused.

Bedtime Story
Striped Chipmunk Cuts String
To Rescue Grandfather Frog
What to Do1
BY PHYLLIS BELMONT !
Is it all right to smoke at the din-
ner table? The hostess does not
smoke so 1 cannot depend on re-
ceiving a clue from her.
Answer—If a hostess wishes her
guests to smoke at the tabic she
will provide cigarettes and ash tr6ys
for them. Many hostesses fear their
guests, no matter how careful they
may be, will do damage to the fine
linens they arc using. It is easy to
drop a spark, or ashes and cause
harm to delicate table coverings. If
your hostess is proud of her linen,
and has provided no nsh trays or
cigarettes for her guests, then you
may be sure she would rather you
refrained from smoking at the ta-
ble.
Naturally, in a public restaurant
you may smoke if you wish to dur-
ing the meal provided you will not
annoy your neighbors by the smoke.

"Happy hop! Flippy flop! All on a sum-
mer day,
My mother turned me from the house
and sent me out to play!"
CTRIPED CHIPMUNK knew per-
^ fectly well that this was just non-
sense, but Striped Chipmunk learned
a long time ago that when you are
just bubbling right over with good
feeling there is fun in saying and
doing foolish things, and that is just
how he was feeling. So he ran along
the old rail fence on one side of the
Long Lane saying foolish things and
cutting up foolish capers just be-
cause he felt so good, and all the
time seeing all that those bright
little eyes of his could take in.
Now Striped Chipmunk and the
Merry Litt’e Breezes of Old Mother
West Wind are great friends, very
great friends indeed. Almost every
morning they have a grand frolic
together. But this morning the
Merry Little Breezes hadn’t come
over to the old stone wall where
Striped Chipmunk makes his home.
Anyway, they hadn’t come at the
usual time. Striped Chipmunk had
waited a little while and then, be-
cause he was feeling so good, he
decided to take a run down the Long
Lane to see if anything new had
happened there. That is how it hap-
pened that when one of the Merry
Little Brezes did go to look for
him, and was trribly anxious to
find him to ask him to come to the
help of Grandfather Frog, he was
nowhere to be found.
But Striped Chipmunk didn’t know
anything about that. He scampered
along the top rails of the old fence,
jumped up on top of a post and sat
up to wash his face and hands, for
Striped Chipmunk is very neat and
cannot bear to be the least bit dirty.
Then he kicked up his heels and
whisked along the old fence again.
He Suddenly Stopped.
Half way across a shaky old rail
he suddenly stopped. His bright
eyes had seen something that filled
him with curiosity, quite as much
By Thornton W. Burgess
curiosity as Peter Rabbit would
have had. It was a piece of string.
Yes, sir, it was a piece of string.
Now Striped Chipmunk often had
found pieces of string, so there was
nothing particularly interesting in
the string itself. What did interest
him and make him very curious
was the fact that this piece of string
kept moving. Every few seconds it
gave a little jerk.
For a few minutes he watched it
from the top rail of the old fence.
Then he scurried down to the ground
and, a few steps at a time, stopping
to watch sharply between each little

STILLWATER, MINN.-Four Still-

turn back to the government every
cent of profit from war contracts.
The men who formed Stillwater

gin, State Sen. Karl Ncumcier, John
R. Stolzc, and R. M. Hardrath.
They leased the factory and equip-
ment of a company that already was
working on war orders.

run, he drew nearer and nearer to
that queer-acting string. It gave
him a funny feeling inside to sec a
string acting like that, so he was very
careful not to get too near. He
looked at it from one side, then ran
around and looked at it from the
other side. At last he got where he
could see that one end of the string
was under an old board, and then
he began to understand.
Striped Chipmunk sat down and
scratched his head thoughtfully.
Whoever was pulling that string
couldn’t be very big or they would
never bavc been able to crawl under
that old board, therefore, he needn’t
be afraid. A gleam of mischief
twinkled in Striped Chipmunk’s
eyes. He seized the other end of !
the string and began to pull. Such j
a jerking and yanking as began
right away! But he held on and j
pulled harder. Then out from under
the old board appeared the queer
webbed feet of Grandfather Frog
tied together. Striped Chipmunk
was so surprised that he let go of
the string and nearly fell over back-
ward.
‘Why, Grandfather Frog!’
“Why, Grandfather Frog, what
under the sun are you doing here?”
he shouted.
When Striped Chipmunk let go of •
the string Grandfather Frog prompt- j
ly drew his feet back under the old j
board, but when he heard Striped !
Chipmunk’s voice he slowly and
painfully crawled out. He told how
he had been caught and tied by
Farmer Brown’s Boy and finally
dropped near the old board. He told
how terribly frightened he was and
how sore his legs were. Striped
Chipmunk didn’t wait for him to fin-
ish. In a flash he was at work with
his sharp little teeth and had cut
the cruel string before Grandfather
Frog had finished his story.

Although especially trained for en-
tirely different duties, these two sol-
diers immediately joined Colonel
Boatner and another officer assigned
to a demolition job. They set out
on the route south of Lashio toward
Loilem to destroy roads and bridges
before the advancing Japanese
troops.
After two days of this work, the
soldiers moved farther south to join
General Stilwell’s advance head-
quarters and assist with radio opera-
tion linking the command with the
outside world. They arrived in time
to move to Maymyo with General
Stilwell’s headquarters and then to
Shwebo, Burma.
Along elephant trails through the
jungles of northern Burma, General
Stilwell led his party toward the

FRANCE GOES ANTI-NAZI
It can be no secret to the Nazis
that scores of Frenchmen are sneak-
ing out of France to England by
small boat or even airplane. Some
eventually have found their way to
the United States.
The story they tell is one of the
most encouraging of the war pic-
tures, but it shows our state depart-
ment to be lagging months behind in
its policy toward France.
The people of France, say these
heroes of midnight channel-cross-
ings, are so far ahead of the U. S.
state department that it would be
humorous if it were not pathetic.
U. S. food shipments to French
North Africa, they say, won’t help
win over the French people; if any-
thing, will retard the independence
movement there.
The French have been won over
by much greater issues than food, I
and are insulted at the state de- j
partment’s idea that they would sell j
their souls for a mess of pottage.
Here are the major developments
which have really influenced France:
1. The behavior of the Germans
in France.
2. The fact that Britain was not
only able to prevent Nazi invasion,
but now is so effectively bombing
the continent.
3. The resistance of the Russians.
4. American entry into the war.
Of all these, one of the most ef-
fective incidents was the British
bombing of the Renault motor plant
(Frenchmen had been tipped off to
leave in advance), and the drop-
ping of the French flag along the
Champs Elysee by a British fighter
plane last week.
So when the Big Push does come,
it will find an enthusiastic French
people anxious to co-operate.
Note: The French fleet, these
Frenchmen say, now will not be
turned over to Hitler—not because
of food shipments, but because the
French sailors won’t permit it; and
the Nazis haven't got the 35,000
naval personnel available to man
them.
AXIS OILFIELDS
Behind the frequent Jap bombing
raids on North Australia is a very
important fact which has escaped
the headlines. As long as General
MacArthur’s planes are based on
North Australia, the Japs can’t go
ahead with their long-cherished
plans to develop the oil fields of
Java.
For long-range U. S. army
bombers can c arry pay loads to
Java and make a shambles of
oil tanks and oil wells.
That Is why the Japs still
want to take North Australia,
though since the Coral sea battle
they have cooled off on the idea
of landing troops in the more
populated and richer areas of
southeast Australia—which, in-
cidcntally, arc now strongly
defended.
