Maybe It's the growing labor shortage, which la visibly affect I inn the service In the better known and more conventional luncheon hang-outa. Maybe It's tho war, which hns made us al lies and admirers of the tough and realistic and determined Chinese, who have been fighting our common enemy the Jap for years and aro still going strong.

An American trying to use chopsticks Is one of the most ridiculous of earth's spectacles.

Probably realizing they had blundered Into . what a naval spokesman termed a "rat trap," enemy forces have disappeared from the westernmost Island of Attu and nearby Agattu with losses thus far totaling 38 ships sunk or damaged and 40 planes destroyed. The navy reported, yesterday that no signs of Japanese activity on either Island had been detect ed for several weeks. The en emy's lone remaining base, the Island of Klska, thus drew the concentrated fire of U. S. bomb ing planes. Presumably operating from their new Andreanof islands base, army Liberator bombers with fighter escorts dumped ex plosives and incendiaries on the Japoneso Klska . encampment Monday, scoring hits on : sea piano hangars.
