NAZI CHANNEL DEFENSES Of all the variegated defenses Hitler Hit-ler has conceived to block the Second Sec-ond Front from rocket-guns to flame on the Channel the one which the Allies are worried most about is the plain, relatively old-fashioned machine-gun nest The Nazis have developed a new type of machine-gun nest, tried it out at Cassino, and it was one reason tor our failure to advance. This pillbox is of very heavy concrete, quite small, extends only a foot or so above the ground and is extremely difficult diffi-cult to see from the air. The pillbox usually houses two machine ma-chine guns, hitched together so that one man can fire both. One Nazi is in each pillbox so that if he is hit only one man is lost. But it takes almost a direct bomb hit to knock him out, so air pounding of them from overhead is not too effective. These pillboxes, buried in the mountains at Cassino, were terrifically effective, and more of them are reported lying in wait behind the shore along the coast of western Europe. DISCHARGE BUTTONS With more than a million men now honorably discharged from the army for wounds, health or age, the question of honorable discharge buttons but-tons becomes more and more important. im-portant. It took the army some time to design a discharge button, but now that it is designed, men and , officers have a hard time getting it unbroken. The buttons are made of plastic and when mailed to veterans, usually arrive ar-rive in broken pieces. One discharged air force captain got his discharge button all right in an envelope from Maj. Jesse C. Hicks, assistant quartermaster. Hill Field, Ogden, Utah. But there was no packing around it and it was in several pieces. When he wrote back for a new button, Major Hicks replied: re-plied: "There are no provisions for replacing re-placing broken buttons. Therefore, we are unable to comply with your request." Note Some of the boys think that with all the gold we have buried at Fort Knox, we could spare some lor those discharged. STATE DEPARTMENT HARANGUE Dignified, delightful British Ambassador Am-bassador Lord Halifax called on Undersecretary Un-dersecretary of State Stettinius some time ago on a secret matter. While ihev were closeted together, Assist ant Secretary of State Adolf Berle. diminutive and precocious, joined them. Soon, high-pitched scolding voices e-rne from Stettinius' office. Call ers in his anteroom could not help overhearing the harangue as it reverberated re-verberated even through the heavy mahogany doors of the state department. depart-ment. Finally, Lord Halifax was ushered out Later Stettinius came out followed fol-lowed by Berle, who looked a bit agitated. "Was I too tough with him?" asked Berle. "No," said Stettinius, "you wera Just right" "I felt," said Berle, with the air of a parent who has just delivered de-livered a good spanking, "that It simply ha to be done." What it was all about was not dl vulged. but Berle has been carrying on long discussions and arguments with the British regarding the future fu-ture air routes of the world.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS IT IS always a great worry to a soldier when his mother moth-er doesn't like his girl. The girl may be only a sweetheart, jr a promised wife, or an actual ac-tual wife; it doesn't matter, he wants them to like each Dther. When these two women take the trouble to write to the distant dis-tant battlefronts all sorts of catty little remarks about each other, it has a bad effect an any man's morale. This is especially true if he has left a brand-new wife behind him, perhaps in his mother's neighborhood, neigh-borhood, or in her actual home. He doesn't realize that they are really getting on pretty well together, the older poman glad to have company, the younger one feeling herself her-self protected and safe. In sudden moods of irritation they write him, and he believes be-lieves that every moment they spend together is torture to them both. "Which should have the say of it In the house. Mother or Nan?" writes a distracted marine from Guadalcanal. "They keep writing to ask me, and I'm darned if I know. Mom evidently doesn't want Nan to have too good a time, criticizes criti-cizes her buying dresses and wants the radio turned off at half-past ten If some of the crowd comes in to dance or play games. Nan says Mom is too sharp with her; Mom works ten hours a day in a valve works and sometimes she gets home tired and unreasonable. Marine's Wife Good Cook. "My little sweetheart," this letter goes on fondly, "is really a good cook and does her share in the kitchen kitch-en and with housekeeping, but she is only 19; she belongs to a nice little crowd, and of course I want her to have a good time. "After I left Nan thought she might be going to have a baby, and it seems Mom nearly went crazy over the idea of the expense and the work. However, there is no baby in the immediate prospect now, though we both would love to have one. I am 20 years old, and before the war worked in a box factory. After the war I hope to complete a course in engineering, when Nan and I will have a little home of our own. My mother has enough to live on, but she is making good money now in war work. Please tell me who, in this case, ought to be boss. I'm crazy about them both and I know there ought to be some way to work it out and deeply oblige, Harris B." My dear Harris, the troubles of these women don't sound very serious. se-rious. Evidently your mother doesn't suspect Nan of anything but a sort of youthful love of pleasure, and Nan's help with housework and her pleasure at the thought of motherhood mother-hood speak well for her. Your mother's moth-er's feeling about the child was natural nat-ural enough, or rather it was natural to express these fears ln war time, with Nan so young and you ordered away. In her heart of hearts she would rejoice in the grandchild. Flatter them both when jrou write home. Tell them what a delight it is to you to think of them together, how amused you are that they can't find anything more basic to quarrel about than an occasional new dress or late radio program; say that lots of men say that their wives and their mothers simply won't live to- "The loneliness of two establishments. establish-ments. ..." I1ARMONY FOR HIS SAKE It's a very sensible arrangement arrange-ment for a soldier's wife and mother to live together. It gives them both a feeling of security se-curity and comfort. They both love the same man in different differ-ent ways of course, so there is no rivalry there. They can share hii letters, talk about him to each other, knowing that they care more than anyone any-one else in the world. Living together is also more convenient and cheaper for tico women, as well as safer. If there are children, the older woman can look after them sometimes. She is glad to be helpful. This arrangement helps to lessen the serviceman's service-man's worries when he is far away. Being human, however, two women a generation apart in interests and ideas will sometimes some-times get on each other's nerves. When they write about their petty tlisagreements to a soldier at the front, they are harming his morale. Generally there is no serious quarrel. For the soldier's sake, as well as for their own, the wife and mother should endeavor to get on harmoniously. They should keep their complaints and criticisms out of their letters to their man at the front who has worries enough already. gether, which makes you very proud. Remind your mother that she Is the finest, gentlest, most gen erous woman you ever knew, and say that Nan loves her. And write Nan that you know this arrangement arrange-ment isn't what your dear courageous coura-geous little wife expected married life to be, but that wars end, and you'll be back one of these days, and make it up to her with all the rest of your life. One Type of War Service. The real answer to your letter ought to go to your mother and Nan. They probably only need a word of advice to make this arrangement work, because of their love for you. It is a real type of war-service for a man's wife and his family to make a harmonious adjustment of this sort for the duration; it is easier, less expensive, more practical for both. Whatever news comes from the man they both love they can share; and it gives him a great sense of stability and security tc have them together. He worriei much less about his young wife, about his babies if there are children, chil-dren, to know that the older womar is with them, sharing the work and the responsibility. If both women will weigh the alternative; al-ternative; the difficulties and thi loneliness of two establishments; the doubled cost; the solitary and uninteresting unin-teresting meals, they may mutuallj reach the conclusion that the natura.' and the dignified thing is for there to put up with the inevitable little difficulties that arise because the are of different ages, and in unessential un-essential trifles are of differem tastes, interests, ambitions, too Nan will find a mother a might convenient thing to have behind he) in these troubled days, and as foi Harris' mother why, the one thins for which she prays in this world if that her son's wife will love her Self-Disciplined Teacher Adults must be self-disciplined tc be effective teachers of children says Mrs. Belle Murray of the U. o!

They need to give theii children training in judgment and training in will, so that the child wil not only know what to do, but want to do it "Learn the blessedness of silence," si-lence," urged Mrs. Murray.
