Personally, I'm vowing to be a better housekeeper. I'll keep a tidy house seven days a week instead of a possible three. Ex perience has taught me that cal lers are malevolently psychis and will call only on the days when the house is in a muss. Too, I've resolved to wash on Monday instead of Wednesday; or maybe Saturday afternoon. And I'll iron the. next day after I've sprinkled the clothes instead of waiting until I fear they're mildewed and so shake them out, dry them, re-sprinkle. ad infinitum. And I'll wash all the kettles after every meal in stead of putting the harder ones to soak with the hypocritical alibi that they'll be easier to wash next time. I'll put wood in the stove be fore the fire goes out instead of waiting until I have to start it all over again. This resolve may save my marriage from going on the "you use too much kindling" reef. Frank 1 has quaint Ideas about kindling. You use it to start the morning fires only. After that, ' you're supposed to keep a fire going with some thing besides kindling. So far, I've not mastered the technique. Then during the coming year, I'll talk less and think more. This will not be taking advan tage of my natural resources, since I'm better equipped to talk than I am to think. Which Is why I sit more than I stand I've so much more to sit with than I have to stand on. -' - Then ot course I'll make the annual resolution which is that during the following year I'll not use slang. Slang and I have' a natural affinity. Let me hear a term Just. once, which has a dash of spice in it not found in my everyday .working vocabu lary, and I adopt .it,, make it mine. : : Seriously,.. though, I like to think of the hew year as giving me a clean sheet on which to write a more ideal self than 1 did on the old one. As we grow older, we have a tendency to look back with nostalgia to our youth. This is because we bad a clean start; had not made a mess of our lives.' The New Year gives us an annual rebirth Gives us a clean slate. We may write on this what we will, for we still have the power of self- determination, whatever our age So if you and I live long enough and make enough resolutions we' may turn out to be pretty nice folk in time for our- final' ac counting. - SPECIAL SESSION Denver, Dec. 27 (U.PJ A spe cial session of the Colorado legislature will be held late next month to consider amendment of the state laws to "make cer tain" that servicemen from the state will have the opportunity to vote in the next election, Gov.

Grlgg, Jr. (United Press Correspondent) London (U.R) Germany's transportation system may suf fer a near-breakdown in the next six months and prove a major .factor In her 'defeat, British economic experts pre dicted today. ; The railroads supplying her hard-pressed armies In Russia and Italy already are strained almost to breaking point, ac cording to reliable reports reaching here. British and American air at tacks on the reich's main com munications centers have cre ated chaotic conditions on the railroads and knocked out or seriously damaged some 1,500, 000 tons of shipping In the past two years, these reports added. Persistent cannon and machine-gun attacks by RAF fighters on German trains in occupied France and the low countries were estimated to be smashing up some 150 locomo tives a month. Reliable reports reaching here indicated the German railroads now are short of 8,000 locomotives and 200,000 freight cars. " Many of the reich's major railroad marshaling yards and repair shops were devastated by British and American air. raids this summer. Three-fourths of ' the big Waggon Fabrik Talbot rolling stock plant at Aachen was de stroyed in a raid on July 13. Three major attacks on Cologne In July and August did vast damage to the railroad work shops at Nlppes and the mar shaling yards at 'Muelhelm, Kalk and Deutz. The Allied air forces have systematically attacked rolling stocks works at Munich, Essen, Augsburg, Ber lin, Liege and othv important centers in Germany and occu pied Europe. Even conservative experts here believe if these attacks continue on the present scale the whole Axis transportation network could be brought to something like a standstill In the measurable future. Ever since 1033 the Nazis have neglected Germany's rail roads. It was estimated she entered the war with a 20 per cent rolling stock deficit The Nazi authorities sought to remedy this situation by de nuding "each occupied country of the greater part of Its loco motives and rolling stock. Ex perts reported about ,uou French locomotives and tens of thousands of French freight cars now are in Germany itself, working solely for the German State railways. This reserve. however, probably has been ex hausted by now. ' A year ago, in view of the in creasing shortage of rolling stock, the German State rail ways ordered every freight car to be loaded two tons above the normal .maximum. ' . Damage caused as a result of this regu lation was so extensive that it was rescinded in June this year, but recently a new 'order was issued for overloading by one ton for each freight cor. Passenger train services throughout Germany and the occupied countries were slashed ruthlessly early this year and "rationed travel" Introduced for the first time.

Germans had two locomotives for every 13 miles of track. Today, according to reliable esti mates, they have less than one for every 1.6 miles. A year ago the Nazis attempt ed to meet the increasingly dangerous shortage) by boosting locomotives construction to an A-l priority. Plans were draft ed for building up so-called "utility" or simplified locomo tives. ; This year the .building pro gram was stepped up further to provide for building 6,000 to 7,000 locomotives, but the pro gram was thrown completely out of gear by Intensive bomb ing of Ruhr factories. Latest reports indicated the program would come nowhere near be ing met It was estimated Germany will need 12,000 to 19,000 new locomotives during the current year and that production scarce ly will reach 3,000., The exist ing deficit already was placed at 8,000. FEDERAfPAYROLL Washington, Dee. 27 (U.R) Continuing governmental econo mies will soon lower the federal payroll to 2,600.000 civilian workers, a drop of almost 400,- 000 since the peak last May.

He estimated that the 200,000 employe cut already, made rep-; resented an annual saving of $400,000,000 to the taxpayers.
