Women's "rights" have 'received more and more recognition since they gained nation-wide suffrage in ivm. especially in recent entering various professions in growing numbers. It was not until Pearl really stepped forth into completely dominated aprons for overalls, skillets for screw-drivers, dust mops for welding irons. Today the nation's shiDvards. mills and factories are "manned" by housewives and glamour eirls-17 million strong. America's magnificent home-front production records would out them.

Medford's active Busi ness and Professional Women's club is ioinine with similar groups in fitting observance of this "week". DUT with the theme of this national week, "Living on the Home Front", let us not overlook the HOMEMAKERS of America, whose ancient and honorable profession of maintaining happy, healthy homes cannot be too strongly emphasized. In time of war no individual, no family, no social Institution is left untouched by the supreme struggle. Along with current disruptions to family life, the burdens of readjustment and the job of guiding wisely the .youth of the nation, are the lesser, but important tasks of ration-buvine and maintaining strength and morale in the, home. There are no medals or. service ribbons for housewives, much as they are deserved. .

H.G. - The Stitch One lesson the war ought The time to stop trouble is impus, a captain in the Officers' Reserve Coras, has just estimated in his new book, "How the Arjny Fights", that Hitler could have been stopped at the cost of 200 lives in 1936 when he entered the Rhine- land. In, 1938, when he invaded Austria, he could have been stepped at a cost of 20,000 liv es. In the fall of 1938, 'when he seized Sudetenland, he could have been stopped with the loss of 200,000 lives. So "The peace that was purchased In order to preserve 200 lives in 1936 wlU finally be paid for at the rate of 1,000,000 lives a year." And perhaps even the 200 lives that miVht have been lost in 1936 need not United . States had, after the last war, - joined with England and France to keep the peace. A.B. Linguistic "Parlez-vous Chinese?" soldier, asked that question, can already answer that he does speak Chinese or Hindustani, or some other foreign tongue which was utterly strange to him be fore the war. The army is teaching 30 the barest essentials,, perhaps 300 or 350 words, are taught Phonograph records are used to give the pro nunciation, so successiui is the method that many soldiers who knew no Italian till they studied it in North Africa were able to talk with the first Sicilian civilians they met. ihis is all to the good. Apart from its war value, a knowledge of languages is broadening and tends to provide a bond of good will and better understanding throughout the world. H.B. Earth Housing shortage in your available for building? Rammed-earth homes may be the answer. Robert C. Cook, writing in the "New Republic", says that he has built one and lives in it to his great satisfaction. It sounds like digging a ing in, but. is not at all like that. . Rammed earth houses are regular houses, made of earth closely packed, with wood used Mr. Cook's house was mer, warm in winter and has weathered eight-inch earth church in Charleston, has gone undamaged through two earthquaKes. Much monev is saved ill materials and construction Rammed-earth provides a important answer to the housing propiem.

A third of a million persons are engaged in a war effort in government departments pounding keys. It might be a good idea for Uncle Sam to' review his typewriter army to ascertain if all this typing is necessary to the war effort. To a taxpayer, pounding a rickety machine to make a living because he cannot get a new one, it seems slightly TOO MUCH. K.o.

PRICE Our daughter, eleven years, sold, has a beautiful set of teeth (writes a reader), but the lower jaw protrudes farther t h the upper and 1 s noticeable, We took her to an o r t h o dontist. He ex a m i n e d her and said she needed a brace on the lower teeth and every tooth had to be Or. Brady banded and she would have to wear the brace for three years and report once a week or so for inspection and adjustment by the ortha- dontist. Price $650. Now to us that seems like an awful lot of money. We would like your ad vice, and we'll do as you say about it. The orthodontist says it has to bedone whether he or some one else does it. ' (Mrs. H.V.G.) I reckon every tooth Is worth a thousand dollars. My advice, Ma'am, is that you should have the treatment carried out as the orthodontist outlined for you. At the same time I take this opportunity to ask a rhetorical question, to wit, why shouldn't your regular family dentist carry out the treatment, with the periodic counsel of the. ortho dontist? . Perhaps I credit the dentist with more knowledge, skill and technical ability than he really has, and the orthodontist (an orthodontist is a dentist who limits his practice to straighten ing irregularities of the teeth and correcting deformities of the jaws) with less. For .some reason most dentists are unwilling to undertake such treatment, and in my opinion this is not for want of sufficient skill to do the work but because they are intimidated by the noise the specialists make about the difficulties involved and the vast amount of special training one DISMISSAL OFFICIAL CAUSES T Los Angeles, Oct. 9 U.B Dispute over dismissal of a union official tonight halted service on a five-state network of Santa Fe Trailways and stranded hundreds of service men who normally use the lines for weekend leaves. More than 200 drivers, mem bers of the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, have failed to report for work for two days in protest against discharge of L. J. Pierce, union chairman, on grounds of Insubordination. Grievance Committee Chair man L. G.

In medicine the same song is sung by the brass specialists particu larly a brass specialist being an ordinary doctor who, by hold ing himself out as a specialist. contrives to lure away patients from the ordinary doctor who does not pretend to be anything else.

PASS IN REVIEW Camp White, Oct. 9. (Spl.V- Hundreds of civilians and mill tary personnel witnessed the formal review of service troops of camp White Friday by their commander, Brig. Gen. Amos Thomas. - Against an Inspiring backdrop of distant mountains and wispy clouds, under the warm blue of an Indian sum mer sky, the soldiers began ar riving on the review field west of Post Headquarters at 4:45 p, m., marching briskly to their positions on the north side of the field. Long before they started to march preparations had been made for the event. The mo bile amplifications system and microphones had been set up, five jeeps were, waiting to carry the reviewing officers, 'the train ing division had worked out plans carefully, the photograph er had set up his camera on the balcony of the WAC barracks to get a wide panorama of the en tire ceremony. When the troops arrived, 1st Lt Claude E. Davis quickly stepped forward and addressed his commander. "Sir, the par ade is formed." Retreat was sounded, after which, the officers left the re viewing stand and climbed Into the five waiting jeeps. Half way across the field the first vehicle, flying the one-star flag of the general, paused to permit MaJ. Eugene P. Walters to enter. , Then the procession turned westward and, at the end of the line of 13 companies, swung back for inspection. After com pletely encircling- the parade line, the official party returned to the reviewing stand. . The general quickly revealed his impression of the soldiers whom he had just reviewed. Turning to the microphone, he said to the assemblage, "It was a . very creditable ' performance in every - way. I am quite pleased and I know the com manders of each unit are pleased too." He turned to where the motor of Camp White's new "elephant train" could be heard starting. "While this is' somewhat unor thodox, we're using this occasion to show a major portion of the command the new elephant train which was provided by the Post Engineers for the per sonnel of the camp.'.' The ve hicle wiU be used as. a free shuttle bus for the post. The elephant train slowly moved forward until it reached the line of troops where at three positions groups of specially-selected honor soldiers climbed aboard and rode to the review ing stand. To the marching tempo of the SCU band, music, the 13 units marched in parade past the gen eral and his officers. This was the first formal re view held by the SCU and at tached units to which the pub lic was invited.- Regulations on passes to the post were waived to permit civilians to view the ceremony. LOWEST ACCIDENT BATE Chicago U,R Only 1.01 acci dents per million man hours in the Hammond Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Co. last year set the national record for simi lar war plants the company has announced.
