Opportunity Knocks Airline Needs Hostesses
Girls! if you aren't too fat, aren't too tall, aren't too skinny, aren't too illiterate, and are a pretty nice girl, chances are you would make a good airline hostess.
Up In The Sky
The office of Miss Elizabeth Meiar, adviser to women, has received a series of application blanks from Braniff Airlines for young women who might be interested in the employment.
The prospective hostess must be able to speak Spanish fluently, be from 21 to 26 years of age, have at
least two years of college, be not over 5 feet, 4 inches or under 5 feet 2 inches in height and not too chubby, must be unmarried, have a character of good repute, and must be able to meet certain other character and personality requirements.
The training of the Braniff Airlines hostess covers a peril of six weeks, during which time she is allowed $2.50 per day for expenses.
Sleepy Soldier Uses Phonograph For Reveille
Girls interested in filling out applications for the training should consult Miss Miller in room 220, Frank强 hall.
Fort Sheridan, Ill—(UP)—Private Wright D. Jackson, 22, who awakened himself every morning with a pep talk, began looking for a new phonograph today. Minus his pep talk, Jackson fell back upon sleepy ways yesterday. He slept through reveille, missed breakfast and barely arrived for roll-call on time.
Jackson's six month's service in the Army Medical Division includes many breakfast-less days. He became convinced last week that the bugler wasn't born who could blow revelie loud enough to wake him.
He hit upon a solution when he spied a phonograph recording machine at the Highwood Salvation Army-United Service Organization center. The results for one week, Jackson said, were "astounding."
When Reveille sounded at 5:45 a.m. his buddies awoke and began to dress. Jackson, as usual, slept on. Sgt. B. G. Griswold set a record on the portable phonograph alongside Jackson's cot.
Jackson Argues With Himself "Come on Jackson," shrilled Jackson's own voice from the record. "Get up." Then, after a two second pause. "The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day at Fort Sheridan." Jackson began to stir. "C'mon out of that personal blackout you're having and get up."
Films of Bird Life Shown Here Friday
Olin Sewall Pettingill, Jr., nationally known ornithologist and wildlife photographer for Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., will show two sets of natural color motion pictures on bird life here Friday.
The first film, "Bird Magic in Mexico," will be shown in Frank Strong auditorium at 4 p.m. Friday. This film on the rare birds of Mexico is the pictorial record of the Cornell University-Carleton College expedition to the hill country of southwestern Tamaulipas.
The second moving picture will be entitled "Birds that Haunt the Waterways." This film will be shown under the auspices of Phi Sigma, honorary biological society, at 8 p.m. in Foch auditorium.
Students Register Now For Teaching Jobs
Students who are planning to teach after this semester and who wish placement through the University teachers appointment bureau should register with the office as soon as possible. The bureau is already receiving requests for teachers from various schools within the state.
Both programs are sponsored by the University and are open to the general public without charge.
The teachers appointment bureau office is room 121, Frank Strong.
A yawn and some stretching of arms. "Now the sergeant's going to be getting impatient. You don't want him to resort to tickling your toes to get you up, do you? You don't want him to have to tell Sgt. Murr (Top Sgt. Arnold Murr) on you?
"Wouldn't you be sorry? I'll say you would!"
Pleading Replaces Arguing
Then Jackson's voice began to wheedle. "Listen Sgt. Collins (mess sergeant) has the mass hall all warm for you and he's serving hot pancakes this morning with a lot of butter on them and syrup. Umm, umm.
Doesn't that sound good to you?
You're not going to disappoint Sgt. Collins are you? And you have to get your callisthenics and drill this morning—good, healthy, bracing morning air. You don't want to miss that and you sure don't want them to miss you at roll call. You bet you don't!"
If Jackson wasn't on his feet by this time, the record had one final roar. "C'man Jackson, get outa that bed!"
The owner of the phonograph, a buddy in another outfit, took it back and Jackson began searching for another.
With that sort of encouragement, Jackson was on time for breakfast for seven days in a row—until yesterday.
Plan Words For Seven Days
"I want to keep up my good record," he said.

Casualty List Multiplies as War Spreads
New York, Feb. 11 (UP)—The number of men killed in war action during 1941 was at least three and possibly more than five times as many as in 1939-1940 combined, according to a survey of the armed forces of all belligerent nations reported by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The increased losses—from approximately 300,000 in 1939-40 to from 1,250,000 to 1,600,000 last year—were due mainly to the Russo-German war on the Eastern front. However, it was noted that spread of hostilities to the Balkans, the Far and Near East and United States entry also boosted the number of fatalities.
In the initial phase of the war—Sept., 1939, to May, 1940—there occurred the so-called "phoney war" in which none of the embattled countries engaged in any widespread action. This was ended with the German assault upon France, Belgium and the Netherlands on May 10, 1940, but the swift collapse of resistance on the European continent again precluded high losses. False Losses Discounted
False Losses Discounted
But when the German armies attacked Russia in June, 1941, the length of the battlefront, the vast numbers engaged and the type of terrain over which the fighting took place, led to an inevitably sharp rise in casualties.
It was estimated, after discounting inflated propaganda figures, that Germany lost 300,000 to 350,000 men—perhaps even as many as 600,000 in 1941. For the same period, Russia's losses amount to about 750,000.
American and Japanese losses, of course, were small, since both were at war only the last three weeks of 1941. Japan's widespread attacks in all areas of the western Pacific caused casualties of many thousands according to the survey, although no actual figures were obtainable. This was in contrast to the scant 300 killed during Nippon's entire World War participation as one of the Allied nations.
Guerrilla Deaths Counted
American losses were equally revealing, with the 2,729 Navy deaths in the attack on Pearl Harbor more than three times World War Naval casualties of 900. Total losses were greater than those for the entire first year of the World War. British losses for 1941 were estimated at fewer than 40,000, Italy's between 30,000 and 50,000, Yugoslavia's at 10,000 in the initial German invasion and many more thousands through additional guerrilla fighting. Rumania admitted 20,000 killed up to Oct. 1, 1941, with total losses probably twice that figure. Finland lost at least 20,000 men in her second war against Russia, while France, Hungary, Bulgaria and Iraq lost small numbers.

America says "keep'em flying." But to keep 'em flying we must keep 'em rolling-on the rails. Materials, thousands of carloads, for planes, tanks and guns must be rushed to production and assembly plants. Completed armament also must be transported.
Union Pacific is powered to do the job. Twenty "Big Boys," largest steam locomotives ever built, have recently been added to the large fleet of other super-powered rail giants placed in service during the past five years.
Millions of dollars also have been invested in freight cars, new rails and property improvements. For defense as well as industry's normal needs, Union Pacific the Strategic Middle Route connecting East with West supplies the demand for dependable transportation.
