To Hasten Victory
No American wants this war
to go one minute beyond the
time we can bring it to a vic-
torious end. To hasten that
victory—to save possibly the
lives of millions of our boys
on our far flung fronts—it is
Imperative that every Ameri-
can do hi,s part in the Second
War Loan. There is an in-
vestment to fit every purse.
The most you can do is little
enough compared with the sac-
rifice offered by our boys in
service. They give their lives
—you lend your money.

Waacs Enjoy Making
Officers Salute
t By Auxiliary Mertia Mills,
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps).
Half the thrill, at least the init-
ial thrill, of being a member of
the women's army is saluting, and
having your salute returned by,
j officers of our aimed forces.
The salute, you know, is not an
act of servility, but a military
greeting and recognition, jealous-
ly guarded. You cun't, for in-
stance, salute when you're smok-
ing.
It'.- as strange to the rookie as
a new fraternal handclasp and the
i first few times you're suddenly
confronted with need to execute
thi- particular bit of military cour-
tesy you are apt to be confused.
I remember, just after a lecture
on courtesies, I spotted a chaplain
I coming down the street. It was my
first chance to salute, and I could
hardly wait to show off the snap-
py little job I had perfected by
long practice in front of the mir-
' ror.
But the closer he got, the more
1 fright cued I became. Finally, just
a.- he wa within the prescribed six
pace. , 1 shoutcd :
I "Oow-do-you-da!"
It was so loud that the poor
i (hap almost jumped out of his un-
iform. Then he started laughing
|and saluted. I was a pretty morti-
fied young Waac.
You might think it's easy to tell
i the difference between enlisted
i men and officers. Well, it is,
j when there's nothing at stake. But
| it's plenty easy to make mistakes
I too when you haven't time for
i anything but a glance at a good
distance, I've saluted many a
shined-up private, much to his cn-
| joyment.
You get a special kick out of
| pulling one up snappily for an of-
ficci of the Navy or Marine Corps,
and I have yet to see one fail to
icturn the salute of a Waac.
Sometimes, Army and Navy en-
listed personnel have a little good-
natured fun at the expense of
WAAC officers. One afternoon, 1
saw a bunch of sailors pass two
WAAC lieutenants who were wait-
ing on a street corner in front of
(their hotel. Blue-clad arms came
up in salute.
In two minutes the gobs passed
again from the opposite direction
and salutes were exchanged. This
went on for about five return
trips.
At last, one of the Waacs faced
the sailors squarely.
"Listen, boys," she said, "have
! a heart."
Whereupon the Navy heaved
anchor and went rollicking down
I the street.
o
Mrs. ('. R. Lieb, who has been
ill, is reported better.
