II. S. army nurses are step-
ping out in snappy new uni-
forms.
Developed by the Quartermas-
ter Corps and approved by the
Surgeon General of the Army,
the new uniform is of dark blue
covert cloth and replaces the
olive drab color which had been
the regulation equipment since
World War days.
For general wear, the uni-
form consists of: A "field" cap
of dark blue covert cloth wiih
a maroon cord-edge braid: ser-
vice coat of the same material,
together with a neat belt: a ser-
vice skirt of light, powder-blue
covert cloth: white broadcloth
or blue seersucker waist: black
tie: double-breasted overcoat of
dark blue water-resistant covert
cloth, with a removable lining,
belt and buckle: street stockings
With black shoes.
For duty hours the uniform
includes the cap. a dark blue
covert cape with maroon lining
in place of the service coat: a
white poplin or blue seersucker
nurse's uniform, white stockings
and white oxford shoes.
COATS l>FPLICATE
A KM V OFFICERS'
The fetching, trim-cut service
coat has been developed bv du-
plicating every feature of the
Army officer's coat. It has of-
ficers' buttons, shoulder loops
and sleeve braid—though this
braid is of maroon and not the
the familiar officer's spruce
green. On the shoulder loops
the nurse wears her metal insig-
nia of rank and on the service
coat lapel she wears the familiar
"U. S." worn by all other offi-
cers. together with the insignia
j of the Army Nurse Corps, a ca-
| (luceus of the Medical Depart-
ment, with the letter "N'' super-
imposed.
This uniform was recently
I adopted by the Army Nurse
Corps, approved by the Medical
Department, and is now being
issued, according to the Philadel-
phia Quartermaster Depot,
which procures and distributes
these uniforms for the Army
nurses.

Can Not Leave
Homes At Night
In Vital Areas
Head Of One Restricted
Group Gives $40
Defense Check
SAX FRANCISCO, Feb 5
(UP)—Federal authorities tight
ened restrictions on enemy
aliens today by curtailing their
vements in California and
barring them from defense areas
iti m. Hon and Washington.
Establishment of "curfew
zones" along nearly two-thirds
oi California's coastline and it
some inland points threatened
aliens in night jobs with unem-
ployment. and struck at tin
pocket books of theater, tavern
and restaurant operators and
other amusement industries in
alien disrticts of coastal cities.
Within fliose oicas, cue in.\
aliens may not leave their
liomi s between 0 p. m. anil
H a. in. <ind may not travel
more than five miles from
their homes. The curfew
zones were designated in
addition to !I7 California
areas 'from which aliens
will lie harried completely.
A justice department order i-
sued last Right will bar aliens
from :!! vital areas in Washing
ton and Oregon, including eight
square miles around the Grand
Coulee Dam. a strip on both
sides of the Columbia river
near the Bonneville Dam and
areas around the Diablo 'and
Ruby dams on the Skagit river
and the Long Lakes hydroelee
trie plant on the Spokane river
Hardships and heartbreaks
attending the projected removal
of aliens from prohibited areas
was found in the thriving indus-
trial community of Pittsburgh.
Call'., where 70 to 80 per cent
of the population is Italian-
bore, or of Italian parentage.
Nearly every one of the 1,000
Italian families in Pittsburgh,
which is the home of the Col
umbia Steel company, the Shell
! Chemical company, the Dow
| Chemical company and other de-
| l'ense plants, has been affected
by the order.
Some of the Pittsburgh aliens
have children serving in the
army or navy. They don't know
where to go. for if the grand-
father or father moves,, it
sometimes means the whole fam-
ily must move.
Cooperation has been
shown l>y some alien groups.
Harry H. Kono, head of the
.I'ipaiiese welfare committee,
an alien group, walked into
the Alameda, Calif., defense
council with a cheek for
S40, needed to pnrclia.se
field glasses for all airplane
spotter.
"This," he said, "is to show
our appreciation for your con-
sideration. Many of us have now
received orders to leave Alame-
da Many of us have lived here
many years. The city has been
fine to us. Our children were
educated here. We want to
show our appreciation."

I of "hold that line," with no
immediate prospect of more than
local offensive action. The cru-
cial question is whether the
I reinforcements will arrived in
1 time to save Singapore, Burma
and the Dutch Indies.
The allies probably will
have 1o hold until about
the beginning of Muy, near-
ly three months hence, be-
fore they can hope to begin
pushing the Japanese back.
KxtensiviC Japanese gains in
- the meantime might prolong
that date indefinitely.
The allied task is complicated
by the extended nature of the
Japanese attahks. now stretch-
ing over nearly 5.000 miles of
land and water. They have op-
ened up so many danger points
that allied naval. land and air
forces are unable to concentrate
for the proper defense of any
one. The Japanese have far more
men, more ships and ntore air-
planes. With their shorter lines
of communications from Japan
and the Asiatic mainland, they
have thrown superior forces
against every point attacked.
This has been accomplished
by -years of preparation. The
Japanese painstakingly charter-
ed every channel and shoal
from the Strait of Malacca to
the barrier reefs of Australia
and beyond through the islands
of the mid-Pacific. Their agents
surveyed every land defense and
watched the fumbling efforts to
strengthen them—too late.
The gravest danger points are
[ Burma. Singapore, Borneo and
Java. It is hard to rate them in
order of importance. The loss of
I Burma would be a deadly blow
to China and to the wliole al-
lied cause. Possession of Singa-
pore would greatly strengthen
Japan's offensive power. Solid-
ly entrenched In Java and Bor-
neo. the Japanese would be
masters for the time being of
the entire southwest Pncifir. ex-
cept Australia.

Wanda Krasoff Recital
Features Sunday Event
The '.Su e -twater Music Study
club will present Wanda Kras-
off. brilliant concert pianist, in
joint recital with Vera Willams.
soprano, at -1 p. m. Sunday at the
municipal auditorium.
Miss Krasoff comes of a long
line of renowned musicians, all
of whom won distinction in their |
chosen fields. Her father, Alex- j
ander Krasoff. was a Russian
nobleman and operatic tenor,
who sang opposite Tetrazinni j
and other famous singers. Her j
uncle, Woi eeh Gawronski, was j
a famous pianist, composer and i
conductor. He was a pupil of!
An ten Rubenstein.
Born in San Francisco, Wan !
da Krasoff at the age of four ,
was playing by ear familiar op-,
eratic arias which she heard i
her father --ing so often. Music j
lessons began when she was ;
eight, but when the lessons be-:
canto work and not play she dis
liked practicing so much that
her teacher gave up in despair. |
to the disappointment of her
parents, whose dream it was
to have a pianist in the house-
hold.
At eleven the lessons started
again, this lime with much sue
cess and at the age of fifteen,
the great conductor, Alfred
Hertz, predicted a glowing fu
ture for Her. Much of her mu-
sical training was under the
envnent pianist and pedagogue,
Alexander Kaab. Following her
debut in San Francisco, Wanda
Krasoff was at once in demand
Inith as reeitalist and soloist
with orchestras. She has had
two appealances with the Oak-
land Symphony undere Orley See
and five appearances with the
Northern California Symphony
as well as numerous appearan-
ces as guest soloist, elsewhere.
In April of this year Miss Kras-
off will appear as soloist with
the Southern California Symph-
ony Orchestra in Los Angeles.
The appearance here of Wan-
da Krasoff will add brilliance
and luster to this fine concert.
Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, with
Ease for Stomach, too
When constipation brings on acid in-
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy j
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and ;
bad breath, your stomach is probably
"crying the blues" because your bowels j
don't move. It calls for l^ixative-Scnn:i
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels, j
combined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect |
ease to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa-
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicine more agreeable to a touchy stom- j
ach. So be sure your laxative contains
Syrup Pepsin. Insist on Dr. Caldwell's I
1 .axntive Senna combined with Syrup Pep- 1
sin. Sec how wonderfully the Laxative
Senna wakes up lazy nerves and muscles ;
in your intestines to bring welcome relief j
from constipation. And the good old
Svnip Pepsin makes this laxative so com |
fortablc and easy on your stomach. Even j
tinicky children love the taste of t hi - j
pleasant family laxative. Buy Dr Cald-
well's Laxative Senna at your druggist i
today. Try one laxative combined with '
Synip Pepsin for ease to your stomach, tixv
