There is l matter of fact there is !tten an- The trick ii that are not good enough for W. N.U. ftSTURI thi thing, and that makes it fall down. Right here in this invasion we have a general who is not good enough, General Marvin. He Imagines Im-agines that he is something that ought to be worshiped. Also we have one who "may not be good enough, I'm not sure yet, much closer to us than the General I mean the Captain Cap-tain of the Navy who runs this port. He is a young man and very fond of authority. And Tomasino, we have to get permission from him before you and the others can go out fishing." "Who is this young man of au-thorityT" au-thorityT" Tomasino said with a sullen sul-len face. "I will bush his Ud in with my gaffing hook." And the fer erman's face looked as if he meant it. "Let's go and talk with him." And so the Major and Tomasino went to see Lieutenant Livingston in the Port Captain's office. The Lieutenant was feeling very grumpy after the brush-off Major Joppolo had given him because he was in a hurry. Lieutenant Livingston Was in no mood to grant requests to an Army man and a meatball. Major Joppolo, being single-minded, not to say absent-minded, was not in the least conscious of Lieutenant Lieu-tenant Livingston's mood. "Hi, Captain," he said blithely when he and Tomasino walked in. "Back again.". "So I see," said Lieutenant Livingston Liv-ingston without pleasure. "This is Tomasino, the head of the fishermen here." Tomasino, hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant Lieuten-ant a Fascist salute. Lieutenant Livingston said: "Would the old fisherman mind "Scram, you" taking a seat out there in the hall? I have a rule that no Italians are to come in this office." Major Joppolo said: "Tomasino wouldn't mind, but I would. What kind of way is that to run an office in an Italian town?" Tomasino, hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant Lieuten-ant another Fascist salute. Quite coolly Lieutenant Livingston said: "I don't know how you run your offices in the Army, Captain, but in the Navy we have something we call security. We can't afford to be careless." Major Joppolo was indignant. "I'll vouch for Tomasino." Tomasino saluted. sa-luted. He hated authority, but he knew it when he saw it Lieutenant Livingston said testily: testi-ly: "Major, after all, this is my office." The Major said: "Well, it's Toma-sino's Toma-sino's town." Tomasino Saluted. The Lieutenant said: "What do you want, Major?" Major Joppolo said: "I want the Navy's permission to send out six fishing boats to get fish for Adano." Lieutenant Livingston said: "Impossible." "Im-possible." Major Joppolo said: "What's impossible im-possible about it?" The Lieutenant said: "We'd have to eet permission from ComNavIt and he'd have to refer it to ComNav- Naw, and they're both Admirals, Not a chance." Major Joppolo said: "What's all that gibberish mean?" The Lieutenant said: "Commander "Command-er Navy Italy and Commander Navy North African Waters. Is that gib berish. Major?" The Major said: "Why do you have to go running to the Admirals? Admi-rals? Don't they give you any re sponsibility at all?" Lieutenant Livingston spoke very natiently. "You wouldn't under stand," he said. "This is a Navy problem." "Listen. Cantata, we're in this war together. .What's itching you? "How do you know this man isn't in the Italian Navy? How do you know he isn't being paid by the German Navy? How do you know he just wants to fish?" Major Joppolo was too outraged to laugh. "Tomasino?" he said. "Have you ever talked with Tomasino?" Toma-sino?" Tomasino saluted. The Lieutenant said: "Can he speak English?" Major Joppolo had had enough. He said: "Listen, Captain, this town is hungry. It needs fish. If it doesn't get something to supplement its diet, people are going to die here of starvation. Are you going to let these men go out fishing, or aren t you?" " Lieutenant Livingston was sur prised by the Major's vehemence. "They might hit loose mines and be blown up," he said defensively. "I don't care. This is a war. Some people've got to get killed so others can live. Are you going to let these men go out fluUas. r aren't you?" Lieutenant Livingston said unce tainly: "I don't think I ought to." Major Joppolo said: "Captain, un less you give permission for these men to go out, I'm going to send a separate letter naming each person who dies of hunger in this town to your commanding officer, and in each letter I'm going to say it's your fault." "Maybe we could work something out" the Lieutenant said. "You know we could," Major Jop polo said. "By day after tomorrow I want you to have six charts ready showing exactly where these boats can go and not run into our mine fields. They don't have to show where the mines are, all they need show is an area where the boats can go. I'll see that these men stick to that area. Have it ready day after aft-er tomorrow." And before he could catch him self. Lieutenant Livingston of Kent and Yale had said to Major Joppolo of the Bowery and Tammany Hall: Yes, sir." Major Joppolo left with Tomasino before the Lieutenant could catch his wits. 1 Outside, Tomasino said: "I hate him. What did he say?" "A lot of foolishness, except for one thing," the Major said. "If you go out fishing, Tomasino, you may get hurt. Your boat might hit an American mine." "What do I care?" said Tomasino. I am going fishing. Mister Ma jor, if you could know how unhappy the fishermen of Adano have been. All we want in the world is to go fishing. We will go even if we have to pay graft to the men of authority. authori-ty. Now you say we don't have to do that. Thank you, Mister Major." Ma-jor." "No," the Major said, and he decided de-cided to try something.. "No, Tomasino, Tom-asino, I thank you for taking charge of the fishermen, and I kiss your hand." Tomasino looked at this man of authority, and he said: "You are different" And the old fisherman turned and ran out' on the mole to the Tina, and he shouted as he ran, as if telling his boat: "We are going go-ing fishing! We are going fishing! We are going fishing!" The telephone rang. "Hello," Major Joppolo said. "Joppolo, Amgot." "Joppolo, this is Sartorius, up at Vicinamare." "Oh, hello, Colonel" "About that bell" "Oh, they shipped it off." "Not only that but the third entry en-try says the Fecoratta Artillery Foundry at Forty-three Via Edda Mussolini in Milan can you imagine imag-ine naming a street for that flew-sie? flew-sie? it says that the Foundry acknowledged ac-knowledged receipt of the bell That entry was on July the second. I'm afraid your bell is just a hunk of cannon now, Joppolo." "Too bad." "Well, at least I found the records rec-ords for you." "That's awful disappointing." "Yeah, I'm sorry. But I'm glad I could set you straight on it" All Colonel Sartorius wanted was one word of thanks. "These people down here'll be' heartbroken," the single-minded Major Ma-jor said. "Is that a fact?" said Colonel Sartorius. Sar-torius. "Well you're welcome," and he hung up hard. The day that Mayor Nasta came down from the hills Major Joppolo got his first idea that perhaps the people of Adano really were glad to have the Americans around. Major Joppolo was having lunch with Captain Purvis at the Albergo dei PescatorL Joppolo and Purvis had almost nothing in common, but they were beginning to like each other pretty welL It was probably just that they were both officers and Americans, and no matter whether they would have been worlds apart back in the States, here they were Blood brothers, and they could talk over their reactions and laugh together and understand each other. Brother Purvis still wanted to get Brother Joppolo drunk, but even that issue, which began bitterly, was now becoming a joke and a promise of some fun. The Albergo dei Pescatori had the best food in Adano, and the Major and the Captain ate there regularly now. The food was nothing to write home about, but it was better than C Rations. Lunch and dinner were exactly alike and never varied: pasta pas-ta with tomato sauce, a little fried eggplant and cheese, an omelet bread, fruit and red wine. The placa owned just nine regular customers. TO BE CONTINUED) Kathleen Norris Says: The Other Woman's Child Bell Syndicate. WNU Features. JBR MSI? in -- ?""S2 "M A STEPMOTHER'S WOES The second wife't position Imost always delicate, is especially difficult when her war-weary husband comes home to stay. Every returned soldier goes through a period of irritability, fault-finding and restlessness before he set-ties set-ties back into the old ways again. When there is a child by the first marriage in the situation, the unhappy stepmother has a hard time indeed. Whatever she does is wrong. She is too strict or too lenient, or she feeds the child improperly, or sends him to the wrong school, her neurotic husband complains. com-plains. The best way out of this problem, Miss Norris advises, is to let this father take entire charge of his son for a while. He will then find out what a hard job it is to rear a willful little boy. This responsibility will help the veteran to forget himself and to recover his sense of proportion. "Austin will gradually b restored to normality if all causes of friction art removed from the domestic scene." By KATHLEEN NORRIS Y HUSBAND came back from air service serv-ice in England three months ago," writes Margaret Marga-ret Jones from Canada. "He was four years in active duty and eleven months in a. hospital. hos-pital. His injury was cranial, and is entirely cured. When he left, his son by a previous marriage, David, was two years old, and I was expecting expect-ing my first baby. "I was my husband's office nurse, at the time of his first wife's death, and we had discovered a deep affection af-fection for each other.' This was, however, kept completely under control con-trol I am telling you the exact truth when I say that, after the one first talk when we admitted our feelings, feel-ings, not one word or look passed between be-tween us that could be criticized. His wife was a delicate and nervous woman, and whether she actually took an overdose of sleeping tablets, or whether a normal dose was too much for a weak heart, never was ascertained. The coroner called it death from accidental causes. A few months later Austin and I were married, mar-ried, little David accepting his new mother very placidly. "Then Austin went off to war and Deirdre was born a lovely, sweet-tempered sweet-tempered little girl and I lived very quietly during the first war years, I managing to do part-time work, and to clear the mortgage from our little home and Austin's mother living liv-ing with us and managing house and children. She has now gone to live with a daughter. Unmanageable David. "There was the usual rejoicing when Austin returned, and he was fortunately able to assume his old work at an even higher salary, so that we could be quite comfortable if it were not for David, now nearly seven. He is a strange, unmanageable unmanage-able little boy, with something uncanny un-canny in his instinct for annoying and outwitting his teachers and myself. my-self. I seem to be eternally correcting cor-recting him, or complaining of him, position in which I hate to find myself. Tve always liked children. and for our two I've always tried to plan intelligently, forgiving much, not hearing impudence, not forcing issues, substituting the pleasant positive pos-itive for the disagreeable negative when I could. "Austin criticizes my attitude toward to-ward David. Austin has come back in a nervous, irritable mood hard to endure, but it is mostly where David is concerned that the trouble arises. David will not eat his dinner, din-ner, do his homework, go to bed, take his bath when I ask him to. I try good-natured coaxing, give him five more minutes, remind that he can float his submarine in the bath, cook what he likes. He will .never cooperate, co-operate, and Austin blames me, and sides with the child. To make it worse, my husband reverts to the past thinks that perhaps Elsie did kill herself, perhaps she discovered the affection between us, perhaps he was the real cause of her death, "All this has turned our home into a place of discomfort, petty quarrels, quar-rels, carping, nerves. I want to do my duty by all three, but when I see Austin spoiled and good little Deirdre ignored, when I hear Both- U u 1 "E emtudtt ids Uackvt end as. . . Smart and Cool Daytime Frock An Easy-to-Wear Button Front ing but criticism, it is really hard to bear. Austin takes the attitude that a wiser mother would not have these troubles, and perhaps he is right I want to show him every consideration, but I confess I am a failure, and stumped, and don't know what to do." This is one of the many postwar cases that demands the ultimate in self-control patience and humor. Yes, I mean humor, for Margaret is taking this much too hard. It is impossible to undo in a day or a week, or even a year, the mischief done by war conditions and home compromises. Let Papa Deal With Son. Austin will gradually be restored to normality if all causes of friction fric-tion are removed from the domestic scene, and the easiest and quickest way to remove them is to surrender to his father full responsibility for David. Reduce yourself to an amiable ami-able onlooker. If David won't eat and won't go to school don't even report It to Austin; let your hus band see It for himself. Let the child sit up as late as he likes, always being be-ing amiable and kind, and wait for the first corrections to come from the man of the house. Let him play hookey until the teacher comes to complain. Ignore his affection of not having any appetite at meals, and reduce your relationship with him to amusing and affectionate companionship. Several other cases of exactly this type have come to my notice in the past few years; the prevalence of divorce of course has created many of them. In every case which I have known, this aloof, friendly, unconcerned un-concerned attitude taken by the stepmother step-mother happily solved the problem for all concerned. In most cases the right school was found for the difficult child. "He's your son, Austin. I only want him to love me," is the unanswerable un-answerable argument Europe Needs Our Old Clothes Millions of people in war-devastated areas are in urgent need not only of food but of clothing. Until factories can be set up in these nations, na-tions, we in this one country that has not suffered devastation must give of our surplus. Infants' garments, particularly knit goods are urgently needed, as well as serviceable blankets and quilts. It is suggested that pieces of matching cloth and a spool of thread be included with garments whenever possible. Usable Usa-ble remnants are also wanted. 8794 It 12-42 liUA Flattering Daytime Frock.
