Now that it has been announced that my old friend Coleman
King is going to get married I am wondering what is going to happen
to another batchelor friend of mine, none other than Gene Thompson.
It was rumored that Gene complained bitterly when told that
Coleman was going to marry. "How can you do this to me?”, is
what he said when advised of the coming event. He just couldn't
believe that Coleman had been able to get his girl to say “Yes."
This, as some readers will remember, makes Gene a lone wolf until
Charles Wood and Dolian Long come home from the wars. Then
he will have two other men over 40 who will still be In the single
ranks. Os course Dolian could bring home a French wife but we

Famine Expected
In North China j
The prospect of widespread fam
ine in Northwest China, among a
population of 60 million people, lias
sent grain and vegetable prices soar
ing and brought an appeal for help
to prevent distress and suffering
this winter, according to a report of
United China Relief, says J. A.
Long. Jr., chairman of the United
War Fund here.
The situation is imminent in spite
of a late rain and what is called a
j “catch" crop of quickly maturing
grain, because of bad earlier condi
j tions, said the report. A long drought
: this summer completely ruined
wheat planted in the slopes, but
wheat in irrigated areas may be
saved. .
As an indication of the mounting
'prices of foodstuffs, the report cited
that ten pounds of rice, the nation's
mainstay, now costs more than S3OO
a pound. American money. It is estl
! mated that in one province alone
1 500,000 people will have to be fed
; for at least six months which entails
transporting 5,000 tons of grain from
outside the province, the report stat
ed.
Relief for the suffering people of
China is being provided by United
China Relief, member agency tof
the National War Fund, through
contributions to the Person arid
