QUEEN ELIZABETH'S CORSET In these days of defense and em- ergency, the Folger Shakespearean Library is off the beaten path, yet officials looked up in surprise one day last week to find the doorway brightened by the tall figure of Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt. o Dr. Giles Dawson, head of the reading room, was the first to see her, and it occurred to him the First Lady might like to see the famous Folger collection of Elizabethan sil- ver, which is kept hidden away in a vault. ‘Yes,” replied Mrs Roosevelt, with an expression of pleased surprise. 1 have heard of that collection, but T didn’t know the public was allowed to see it.” Dr. Dawson thought it strange she Dr. Dawson thought it strange she should regard herself merely as one of the public, but he said nothing. He Jed her to the vault. There he got out a mysterious parcel, and proceeded with great care to unwrap it. But when contents were disclosed to view, he was chagrined to find that he had the wrong parcel. Instead of the package of silver, he found that he held in his hand the corset of Queen Elizabeth, The embarrassment was all the 5 on| l particular decks itself out in gorgeous colors, so !one side, however.

Since that day, for reasons that Zthe,\' can trace only to Mrs. Roo- | sevelt, the officials have been be- | | sieged with callers who ask to see the corset of Queen Elizabeth. 1 COMBAT LESSONS | GHQ chiefs find these the ou'- standing lessons demonstrated by | the Louisiana war games— The signal effectiveness of the new anti-tank battalions. This is a new arm developed by the U. 8. Army and has no coun- terpart in the European armies. Though only three months old | and still in the experimental | stage, the battalions demon- | strated great potency as “tank | killers” More and better equipped units of this kind should be organized at once. The deadly power of aircraft and the fact that an army, no matter how good or strong, fights at tdemendous disad- | vantage without adequate air| support. | That the combat team of tanks | and mechanized forces needs the lowly doughboy to back u‘ up for real success, An ar-| mored forcc has tremendous punching power and can smash hcles through elements many times its size, but it has got to have infantry behind it to hold the ground gained. A complete overhauling and modernization of field com- munications, particularly radio. The army's equipment is anti- quated and wholly inadequate for the speed demanded of blitz warfare.

All elements of the new citi- zen armies need a great deal more firing practice with ball ammunition, This last deficiency needs most immediate attention. All the men have had some fir- ing practice, usually 20 or 30 rounds. But they require a great deal more to give them the famili- arity and accuracy with the guns 6. | of their branch that is the mark |of a well-trained soldier. Also, the men need the experience of hav- ing live ammunition fired ove: their heads to familiarize them with the sound of “hot lead.” Further, target practice is di- rectly related to the problem of morale. A soldier who is a quali- fied marksman has pride in him- self. The new soldiers are eager |to learn how to shoot, and com- plain of this lack in training. GHQ chiefs are aware of this and the new training schedules now ‘in preparation call for a big increase, in firing practice. The reason for the delay in this vital training has been lack of ammuni- tion. The Army just hasn't had any ammunition to shoot. But with the new munitions plants coming into production in the next few months this deficiency should be, overcome.
