POETS CORNER SPRING ARRIVES 4 Over vales and purple mountains Spring arrived, without a care, Trailing birds and bees and flow ers Bllthsomely in sun-drenched air. Dancing in and out the bowers, Lightly skipping on the lea, Scattering now and then a show er, , As she tripped along with glee; Till she came to sunny Roseburg In the first faint dawn of day. Then, folding down her gauzy wings, She smiled and nestled there to stay. Malinda Oderkirk. Mrs. Lilly M.

(AP) The swallows returned to mission San Juan Capistrano yesterday St. Joseph s day right on schedule. Preceded by a small advance flock, the main band began ar riving at 11:40 a. m. and contin ued to come in flocks of 50 to 100 at intervals. There was little fighting be tween the swallows and the swifts and sparrows which occu py their nests under the mission eaves during the winter. The ad vance group apparently had dis couraged the interlopers, and only a few were on hand when the main band of swallows arrived, said Father Arthur Hutchinson, mission padre.

Mrs. America Meets the War . . . EDITOR'S NOTE: War touches every home and every citizen. This column, . based on official government information and pre pared by the Office For Emer gency Management, shows how the war will effect Mrs. America and her home. Many women, particularly on the Pacific coast, will be relieved to know that the government is now preparing to provide gas masks for all civilians who are likely to need them. The money has already been appropriated by congress $100,000,000. Part of this money is being used for gas masks, the rest for auxiliary fire fighting equipment, stretchers, cots, and other civilian supplies. Warning: Don't under any cir cumstances buy masks from pri vate retailers; such sales are pro hibited by government order, be cause the masks are not made ac cording to approved specifica tions. You can be assured that masks will be furnished to every one, for adequate protection must not depend upon willingness or ability to buy. Mrs. America will not only have to do more walking, but she will have to do it on second-grade soles. Eighty per cent of the top grade leather soles are to be set aside for the manufacture and re pair of military shoes. Civilians will get the other twenty percent and the entire lower-grade out put. Housewives are getting help in their fight to hold down the cost of living. Quickly following the price regulation on canned vege tables and fruit, a price ceiling has been put on 90 per cent of America's pork products, includ ing ham and bacon. In the strug gle with the budget, this regula tion will prove pretty important because pork products make up more than half of the whole meat supply of the nation. If a Victory Garden is to he your next project, stop and con sider. There may be a number of reasons why it would not be prac tical or economical for you to get out and dig. If you live in a large town or city, you 'probably have no adequate or advantageous place to grow vegetables. If you've never done much more than pamper an occasional ger anium, you probably shouldn't undertake this kind of work. Seeds, fertilizer, tools and energy are all at a premium and must be used to the best advantage. A new pamphlet Just published by the department of agriculture called "Victory Gardens" will ByGalbraith orf. guide you in making a decision. Even if you are an experienced gardener,' you will probably be interested in the concise uirec tions for planning and care of a small vegetable garden. The pamphlet may be secured from the Superintendent of Docu ments, Washington, D. C, for five cents. First the war took tin and irid ium, copper and lead, away from the jewelry makers, and now it's put a ban or rhodium. Rhodium is a by product of platinum and is used especially to give a non tarnishing finish to such articles as compacts and cigarette cases. Soon, although there's plenty of gold and silver, there just won't be any "junk jewelry" metals left. The manufacturers will have to use their ingenuity, and that will mean baubles of wood, shells, glass and painted macaroni! Shirts for your husband,' pa- l jamas for Junior, housedresses for I yourself all have risen so sharply in price that a temporary celling has been set to freeze maximums at the prices prevailing between March 7 and 1L This order in cludes all finished piece goods made of cotton, rayon or their mixtures. Even the frozen prices are not what the government con siders reasonable, and permanent regulations at still lower prices arc now being worked out. Mouton, that warm, good-looking, Inexpensive fur which has been many a college girl's and young wife's favorite may not be so inexpensive this next season. Mouton is merely the name for shearling (lamb or sheep skin) that has been fur dressed, and all shearlings are in high demand by the army for aviation and Arctic clothing, as well as for gloves, helmets and boots. The price ceil ing on shearlings has just been removed so that maximum sup plies may be made available for these purposes. So your next mouton Jacket will undoubtedly cost more if you can get It! Coffqe is one food It wouldn't pay to hoard if you wanted to. As every good housewife knows, roasted coffee does not retain its flavor If stored for any length of time. Anyway, the office of price administration says that stocks of coffee and cocoa in warehouses, both wholesale- and retail, arc adequate for some time. Glass to the rescue! It's going to fill one of the biggest war jobs of the year as it turns into mil lions of Jars, bottles, glasses and cups needed for civilian canning Local News Move to Harvard Avenue Mr. and Mrs. A.

Although glass Is one ma terial on which there is no short age, its production is limited by shortages of time and machines. Therefore, even glass, will be used economically. Glass contain ers, for example, will be larger than those we're used to (a half gallon milk container needs only 32 ounces of glass, while half pint bottles for the same amount of milk need 64 ounces). Too, large containers wlli cut down shop ping trips for housewives, as well as deliveries by the retailor. Also, most glass Jars will be lighter in weight and round in shape they're the easiest and fastest to make. And all openings will be smaller, In order to save critical materials used for caps, such as rubber, cork, plastics or metals. She Knew 'Em! i. Joan Bennett, star of "She j Knew All the Answers."
