Denver’s all-girl cavalr y thrills to the stirring command. By ROBERT GEIGER Wide World Features DENVER, June 17—The bugle call, “Boots and Saddles,” that summons the U. S. cavalry to gallant rides, now takes on an added line: “Boots and saddles — and pow der puffs, if you please!” Sure, the gals have their own army. Now they’re up to cavalry tricks. And not on hobby horses, either. These soldiers have nothing to do with the WAAC. They are members of a civilian defense project, called Cavalry Corps and guaranteed to condition its girls to take the toughest knocks the war can hand them. Its captain, Mrs. Blink Gray, explains its purpose: “This is a junior project of the American w o m e n’s Voluntary Services, for girls from 15 to 25. Any girl of this age is eligible to join. “The girls all will be equipped with horses and will learn cavalry drills. “They will have training in first aid, practical veterinary work care and trainng of horses and practical nursing. “They will be subject to call in time of an emergency, for duty in first aid- as couriers in civilian defense; or as a mounted patrol in any civilian emergency, such as a flood. ^We propose to train these girls until they are in top physical con dition and equal to any emer gency. That is the main purpose of the Corps. Training in leader ship and the development of re HAY! HAY! Pitching it and 'toting’ water to cavalry hay burners is all part of the day’s work. sourcefulness and initiative will be stressed. “It’s no sissy society stunt and if you want the proof just come out some day and watch." We did. We saw: Girls, like veteran cavalrymen but minus the picturesque speech —come charging in formation down steep cliffs along nearby Cherry Creek. Taking instruction in patching up a broken horse. Pitching hay to the cavalry’s hay burners. Pitching around on the hurri cane deck of a couple of chargers that wanted to play rough. Getting first aid training. Drilling afoot and on horseback amid the dust and hot sun of a cavalry training arena. Making plans for such things as pack trips and all day rides into nearby mountains, where the girls will be “on their own.” On second thought, the bugle call is safe; it stands as is: “Boots and Saddles!” The Cavalry Corps carries pow der but no puffs.

L The Duchess Now ‘Saleslady’ For Islanders By ADELAIDE KERR Wide World Features Writer The Duchess of Windsor, whose husband used to be England’s most famous traveling salesman, has turned traveling saleswoman her self. On her visit to New York she had samples of Bahaman shell jewelry which she hoped would in. terest the American market. Even in her first “salesman” ef fort the Duchess was ‘one up” on her famous husband. Edward’s activities along that line were confined to “selling the empire” by his personality and charm during his Prince of Wales days. But the Duchess let it be known that she wanted department store representatives to see the neck lacs, brooches and earrings made of jade, coral and turquoise-tinted shells which she brought with her. (The ebb in tourist travel has caused a marked decrease in their sale in the Bahamas.) There is nothing on record of orders placed, but the Duchess’ action is decidedly interesting in the light of her position and her reputation for chic. In the ab sence of the Duke, who was called back to Nassau by labor trouble, the Duchess devoted a good part of her New York visit to the hair dresser, dressmaker, dentist, and shopping for her Nassau canteen. Anne Morgan, head of the Co ordinating Council of French Re lief Societies, ‘has organized a sculpture and photograph exhibit for aid of French war prisoners. The display, which features 80 pieces of M alvi a Hoffman’s sculpture, will continue for the next three months at the coun cil’s Madison Avenue Headquar ters in New York. Besides her sculpture Miss Hoffman has con tributed to the exhibit a huge map of the world, which is sur rounded by life-sized photographs portraying the races of man. Pic tures were taken by Adolf Fass bender, Florence Conrad, Trude Club Clock The East Wilmington Home Demonstration club will meet with Mrs. Oscar Pearsall, Market street road Thursday afternoon' at 3 o’clock.

Fleishman, Louise Branch, The rese Bonney and Margaret Bourke White. Mrs. Gabriel Heatter, wife of the radio news analyst, collabo rated with her plumber in build ing a bomb shelter in her Free port, Long Island, home without benefit of architect. Mrs. Heatter used 3,000 bricks in the ceiling, which is supported by steel posts. The room has windows and doors of non-shatterable glass and is equipped with studio couches, chairs, a ping pong table, dishes, canned goods, bottles of spring water and an alcohol stove. Frances M. Giden of the Bronx, crippled by spastic paralysis, has received the $500 annual award which the Men’s League in Aid of Crippled Children presents annu ally to the crippled student who has done the most to overcome a handicap. Frances e n t e r ed school at 9, was graduated from Hunter College 10 years later and now is a student in the Fordham University Law School. She writes articles and rides a bicycle. Anybody stewing over her sum mer wardrobe can consider the plight of Englishwomen. They re ceived 66 clothing coupons last year, now are cut to 51. The cou pons will buy a winter coat, a winter dress, a pair of shoes, a nightdress, a set of underwear, two pairs of stockings and four handkerchiefs. Or an evening wrap, three dresses with shoes to match and a bathing suit. Not all the year’s coupons can be squan dered at once. Only 20 can be spent before Oct. 12. Give Soldier Boys Sauces And Gravies ATLANTA, Ga., June 17.—The )Oys who do the fighting for Uncle 3am have very definite ideas as ;o what they like to eat and how hey like it dressed up, so the Quartermaster dietitian experts vho prepare the menus see that hey get what they want, accord ng to Col. William F. Riter, Act ng Fourth Corps Area Quarter master. As an example, experience has proved that there are two classes of delicacies that the soldiers de mand and it’s a sad day for the Army cook if they don’t get them. These are gravies and sauces on their meats and fish. For instance, what would roast lamb be without brown gravy? What would fish cakes be without tomato sauce? Or take the sad case of the veal cutlet that was served to the hungry soldier with out tomato catsup. Likewise, whoever heard of a fried oyster without tartar sauce, or a baked haddock without lemon butter? Particularly popular is braised beef cooked with a delicious bar becue sauce. The same sauce does wonders for the well-liked frank furter. So, the Army cooks ioilow the menus and the troops in the mess halls to camps in the southeastern states, get what they want—or else.

Uncle Sam Needs Many More Nurses The American Nurses Associa tion, the National League of Nurs ing and the National Organization for Public Health are participat ing in a recruiting program for nurses for the armed forces and also in a program to interest stu dents in taking training. The nation’s nursing needs are made clear when it is considered that the Army needs six nurses for every 1,000 men and the Navy needs three nurses for every 1,000 men. For example, the increased Army of 7,000.000 will require 42, 000 nurses which is more than four times the number now in service. An act of Congress gives the responsibility of maintaining a First Reserve of nurses for war duty to the American Red Cross.

Nurs ing association, Wilmington, has been assigned a quota of 50 First Reserve Red Cross Nurses to be enrolled by Sept. 1, 1941. All nurses in district nine of the association who meet the require ments are urged to write Miss Minnie B. Bailey, 1700 Arlington street, Rnleigh.
