We of the otoU know only too well home of the misgie- inge of the pcqwr. We try to be decent, in foct we hove to be. it'e the policy of this oommond and district that sudi things os cheese cake never appears In a good army news paper. We know there ore lots of things that you have per haps heard via the grapevine system thot we aren't allowed to touch. There would be very little sense in preaching, **iip your lip," and conducting don't talk campaigns if your comp newspaper were allowed to print inlormation thot would in any way oid the enemy. The Air>0-Hech is just as much a part of the Army as you ore and is governed according to Army Regulations. The policy of a camp newspaper on many large issues is dicta- ted, not by the Air-O-Mech staff but by wor department polr icy. We oren't apologizing or making ezcuses.to those who, aren't satisfied with their camp newspaper, we>'re just giv- ing you the lay of the land. The staff !s firmly convinced thot there con be "some life in the old rag" without the use of cheeee cake or with out discussing mllitory secrets. The staff thinks that if every G. I. would really consider the Air-O-Mech bis own news paper and make ocoasionol contributions, the content of the paper would improve considerably.—DD rJOINTHE W.O.fK CUIB! * I ctamis WhabJhBL JOiauj, $oa TIM man wbo gained tntematlon- punched tbe plUow of tbe boqdtal nromtawnce nine ytsara ago vdien M ^ not left in la weeks rMnnw* Qiiinfcuiv admitted yesterday that he’s JlM attended the Dionne Quintui^ ,been e "g-ipg-f-ood boy" but that lata at birth, Doctor Allan Da- k ^e some time baore he re foe died lest wedc at the age of turns to tbe camera or the mike M ' Movie Actor Bowattll- • • vioUntots are said to make , • ftoodM aviators because of their rhy- Is mtoeing as ropdrted that tbe|y„jj ^ don't fiddle 'plane In which be was traveling; around In the air. ...

G. I.S Beware Of Allotment Wives! The New York Sunday News said in a story this week that soldiers and. sailors should beware "tbe allotment wife,” the modem ver- bIoo of tbe traditional "camp fol lower,” and wbo marries one, two, three, or fow soldiers or sailors for th^ monthly aliotmmts. The paper said the new racket victimises unsuspecting service men and their goveminents here fctut In is attributed by Prof. Ernest Burgess and Mrs. Evelyn DuvaU, Chicago seclologtots to "has^ wartime marriages whim encourage antl-soelal eoedi- tl^.’’ Tbe racket, tbe Hews continued, came into tbo open in Canada when Irene Bomby. a pretty and ez- tremely bold allotment wUe, was eonvlcied recenUy on four charg es of bigamy. She bad five hus- bends at one time - - tbe last three of whom were soldiers "You apparently conunltted these crimes to profit from sol diers’ allowances." said ttie Can-' aUui judge her tn four years in the >enltenaary. The would • be allotment bride movm to a center near some large mUltaiT* camp or embarkatioo point Then sbe marries a soldier CD furlough or a sailor about to embark. When ber first husband has left tbe reglM — or, in most cases, the country—the aUotmeot wife chrnges her name and address end marries another love-on-flrst sight" serviceman. She may do this two, three or four times — or until cfie to caught The racket angle to simple to work, says the newspaper, and glfficult to prevent She collects ztoi only anotmeot pay of $50 a oKMith from each "husband" hot also may collect op to $10,000 insur ance on earn u any of tbe "hus bands" to Uned in action.

In each case the woman had two "husbands’* in tbe ser vice and was seeking to collect an aUotment from the second uhile receiving pay from tbe ftrst. ChargM wttb cweldng to obtain .money under false pretenses, tbe wiVM were turned over to federal offldato for proeecutlaB. "This to one of tbe most shame ful rackets that has ever come to my knowledge/’ Judge Capias said "It to the worst kind of ezplotta- ticB of youiM SMB wbo are pre pared to lay down Otelr Svee for their cotmtoy — asd It to a warn ing to ttmee who want (o rash Id- k> marriage mi a lew days qnalntancMS^."

A realtoattoo that we owe nKwe to our country ihas our coun try owes to ns. 2. When we decide that "Give me, give me” are not the meet important words in the ' En^iab language. This may apidy to for- loughe as wtil as candy. I. When we' learn to read tbe dltorlal page and the daUir news with enthualasm that we read tiie funnlee. 4. A capacity to Itoten to a sermon with some of the eqgemeu that we listen to local gossip or to the trial of a small tows ban dit. 6. When we team that it to more important what we do with life than wbat Ufe does wlfli us. $. When we learn that doing our Job well to more important than a direct idMme conneciiOD to tbe old home town. 7. When we dismtos the idea that we are okay splrtoaOy so long as we are not worse than eom^ody else we know. g. When ttte Ten Commandments have as much InflucDce upon our nvM as the movies. 9.
