The slogan s See Your Own Landscaping First! The gas and tire crisis is going to reintroduce to millions of Ameri-cans the attractions of their own homes. HJlJhJt Merchants report boom sales of hammocks, swings, lawn games, rustic furniture, porch comforts and outdoor grills. One big department store reports a run on shuffle board sets croquet sets and archery equip-ment. Believe it or not it is even advertising "six-foo- t stilts as great tun for grown-ups.- " So many target games are be-in- ? boueht. together with the archery sets that it is ft question whether or not more peo-ple won't be hurt at home than were formerly hurt on the open roads. People who have gone for life in their own backyards insist that they have discovered it possible to enjoy all the comforts they used to drive miles to get. With a 50 per cent cut in indigestion, no interference from the motorcycle cops and 90 per cent fewer family disputes. The great joy of spending an en-tire Sunday in one family group with no battles regarding detours is being widely discovered, And it is amazing how many peo-ple are discovering that a hotdog cooked on a back-ward grill tastes setter than the snes in the road-side stands. Not to mention the additional exer-cise setting up the grill, getting ; the charcoal and rushing for salve c jig to apply to burned thumbs. Imagine the complete change In American habits: a whole Sunday without any interference by traffic lights! The fine thing about a charcoal grill is that it has no carburetor ad-justments and no defective wind-shield wipers. And it hus no body squeaks or funny noises under the chassis. And this is what makes a charcoal grill such a genuine relief: you only use one to the yard and no woman driver is going to back into it. That the hold-o- system of col-lecting the income tax will go through is certain. Out of almost every man's salary a percentage will be deducted at the office and turned over to Uncle Sam.

Washington, D. C. PROFESSOR VS. SUBS Governor Rex Tugwell of Puerto Rico was flying from his post to the British island of Jamaica a short time ago, and just before he stepped into the plane, the young naval pilot said: "I don't suppose we'll see any-thing. But we might as well be ready just in case." So they loaded the plane with half a dozen depth charges. It was a sruall transport plane, had no regu-lar bomb bay, so the depth charges were merely placed on the seats. Out over the Caribbean, suddenly the pilot looked down, said, "There she is." Below them with its con-ning tower above water, was a Nazi submarine. , Both the pilot and Governor Tug-we- ll reached for the depth charges, opened the window. But before they could drop even one, the sub-marine had submerged. The came home with no submarine scalp in his professorial belt. Buy War Bonds EYE TRICK The war has spawned a number of rackets, designed both to gain deferment for unwilling draftees and to aid others in passing their phys-ical examinations. But the most ingenious to date was uncovered by the navy department. A Washington doctor has been re-storing 20-2- 0 (perfect) eyesight to applicants for commissions long enough to enable them to pass their "physicals" by Injecting a high-power-drug.-- The trick was brought to light during an examina-tion of a young commission-seeke- r with defective vision. He had been examined three ( times and each time was told to go home and practice eye exercises. But his eyesight remained 31-- far below the required standard. After the third test, the applicant was told he would be given one more chance. If he flunked again, he would be rejected. When he returned the fourth time, he amazed the navy eye doctor by passing with a 20-2- 0 mark. Doubt-ing that the exercises had achieved such a phenomenal result, the doc-tor decided to make a check. He sent the applicant into an adjoining room and kept him there five hours. Then he was given another exam-ination. This time his vision was found to be 31-- 9 again. The applicant finally broke down and admitted that his temporary perfect vision had been due to a shot in the arm given him by a Washington doctor. This doctor, he said, had told him to make sure he was examined within "four or five hours" after the injection, as its ef-fect would last only that long. NAZI FOOD SHORTAGE Word from inside Germany makes it clear that Nazi officials are an-ticipating a hard winter, even if Hit-ler does take the vast granary of South Russia. They have already completed arrangements for emer-gency food distribution, in anticipa-tion of serious shortages. The plan calls for community feeding throughout Germany. It would mean that families would no longer sit down to dinner in their own homes, but would line up at a community feeding center for a gov-ernment handout Under this system, the hausfrau would not buy her own provisions, ration cards would be replaced by meal tickets, and one-dis- h meals of the "stew" type would be handed out several times a week. Under this system, the Nazis will be able to distribute food supplies more efficiently, with greater use of substitutes, and with equal treat-ment for all. Hitler may not see the irony of It, but this system brings him to communism, from which he pro-fesses to be so eager to "save Europe." Buy War Bonds MERRY-GO-ROUN- D C.
