Joe E. Brown is credited with
killing two Japs In a Luzon com-
bat. It was no feat of marksman-
ship. The Japs had approached to
within 10 yards of Brown's mouth
thinking they were entering an un-
protected ravine.

4—Alternate months let the work-
ers prepare banquet speeches, sit
through dull operas, get into stiff
shirts and tuxedos for dinner, use
three types of fork and worry about
stomach ulcers. And make the boss
go to those smokers, stop for a beer
at Hennessy’s, listen to the soap
operas, have a quickie of corned
beef and cabbage and endure all
those double features.

Thez southland is having a tough
.winter.- Which reminds us of the
winter. down In Florida when a
, Miami paper carried the headline,
after a' bad storm, “Yankee Bliz-
zard Hits South.”
3—Let the workers split with the
bosses the routine of going through
the mail, answering the unnecessary
letters, correcting Miss Abernathy’s
spelling, trying to find the memo-
randa which was put where it
couldn’t be mislaid, wading through
those long lunches at the Business
Men’s club, taking, all those indiges-
tion tablets from 2:30 to 4:30 and
then getting home to find the wife’s
bridge party is still on.
(And make the employers eat
some of those sandwiches put into
'a worker’s lunch box.)
Take the headboard off that old-
fashioned bed and the foot be-
comes the head. Make a slip-cover
for the new head or leave as it is
and stand by for compliments.

Blueprint for Labor-Manage-
ment Love and Kisses
This is thi Elmer Twitchell Plan for
Better Understandings Between Labor
and Management: '^
x 1—Fundamentally all the trouble
is due to the fact, neither side com-
pletely understands the other.
There .can be, no peace*until some
system is adopted, so that each side
can experience all the headaches of
. the' other.
2—Workers - de not f et enoagb
golf. Employers do not get enough
life .without golf. Let the; working-
man have the golf dubs' six months'
a year and-provide him with a set
of clubs. ’ After a few weeks of wor-
rying over backswlngs, the right
grip, etc., all other . problems -will
seem relatively unimportant. And
* the boss, six months away from golf
: and not giving a darn about the
pivot or knee action would And him-
self a different person. Positively.

5—For part of every month make
the workers serve on new relief
campaigns, worry over dinner
speeches, explain to stockholders,
wade through the questionnaires, fill
out the required federal forms and
always keep their pants pressed;
while the bosses shake their own
drinks, help mind the [baby, listen
to the. radio in their stockinged feet
inn* tend the. furnace. Y ...
-'Let j.the'' wiirkln'Aipan' have’
three homes, two cars,’Van outdoor
swimming pool, a yachfc and those
week-end house parties.'That should
help make, him realize what the boss
has to stand up under. And make
, the employer, live in the little
bungalow, raise tropical fish, get
along with the undersized medicine
cabinet, use the family tub, ..fix his
own plumbing, eat in his shirt
sleeves and help eight kids with the
homework. Brother, there will be
closer understandings after that.,
(Copies of the above plan muy be had
by sendita a barrel of potatoes, a
priority on a new Ford and eight lumps
of sugar.)
Date-Bran Muffins, good as cake!
(Take no sugar, no shortening!)
These delicious, new all-bran muffins
made with chopped dates will have a
big appeal for the “sweet toothers’’ in
your family! They’re so moist. And
they’re so tender-^—so good. That’s be-
cause KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN Is milled
extra-fine for golden softness.

TO BET MOMPT EEtlEFfrom
distress of those nagging colds
that cause coughing and make
you feel all stuffed up—put a
good spoonful of Vicks VapoRub
in a bowl of boiling water.
Then feel relief come as you
breathe in the steaming, medi-
cated vapors. These medicated
vapors penetrate to the cold-con-
gated upper breathing passages.
They soothe irritation, quiet
counting, help clear the head and
bring such grand comfort.
FOR ADDED RELIEF...On
throat, chest and back at bed-
time rub Vicks VapoRub. It

you sleep—to bring relief. Now
