HARMONY FOR HIS SAKE IT Its a very sensible arrangement for a soldiers wife and mother to live together. It gives them both a feeling of security and comfort. They both love the same man in different ways of course, so there is no rivalry there. They can share his letters, talk about him to each other, knowing that they care more than anyone else in the world. Living together is also more convenient and cheaper for two 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 servicemans worries when he is far away. Being human, however, two women a generation apart in interests and ideas will sometimes get on each others nerves. When they write about their petty disagreements to a soldier at the front, they are harming his morale. Generally there, is no serious quarrel. For the soldiers 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. ... ...

DISCHARGE BUTTONS than a million men now from the honorably discharged army for wounds, health or age, the question of honorable discharge buttons becomes more and more important. It took the army some time to design a discharge button, but now that it is designed, men and officers have a bard time getting it unbroken. The buttons are made of plastic and when mailed to veterans, usually arrive 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: There are no provisions for replacing broken buttons. Therefore, we are unable to comply with your request.
