Navy Holystones
In the navy, holystones were, until recently, used to scrub and
clean wooden decks. But the term
goes far back into the antiquity
of naval lore. The stones were
originally so named because fragments of broken monuments from
Saint Nicholas church, Great Yarmouth, England, were used to
scrub the decks of the ships of the
British navy.
In the British service they were
also known as "ecclesiastical
bricks.''

In 1892 he assembled the first collection of fingerprints in the world.
In 1896 the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which ineludes the heads of police departments of most of the principal cities
of this country and Canada, established a special bureau at Chicago.
This was later removed to Washington and became known as the
National Bureau of Criminal Identification. Its purpose was the compiling of Bertillon records. As use
of the Bertillon system was discontinued the national bureau gradually
began acquiring a collection of fingerprint records.
FBI Took Over in 1924.
In 1924 this identification division
was placed under the jurisdiction of
the FBI and received and consolidated in Washington the records of both
the National Bureau of Criminal
Identification and the records of the
Leavenworth prison.
More than
11,000 law enforcement agencies today are submitting prints to the bureau and more than 600 fugitives are
identified by the bureau each month.
The bureau has now on file more
than 1,200,000 prints of persons applying for government positions under the Civil Service commission.
Comparison with criminal records
show that 7.7 per cent of these have
had a previous criminal history, or
about 1 out of 20 applicants. Through
the vigilance of the FBI these people
are barred from obtaining positions
of trust within the government.
Here's an example of how these
requests of identification work. In
1939 the Works Projects administration in New York City submitted
prints of a woman applying for a
job as housekeeper. Search revealed that she was arrested in June,
1933, on a first degree murder charge
and a fingerprint card sent from
Sing Sing indicated that the woman
was incarcerated at Ossining, N. Y.,
awaiting execution for murder. It is
interesting to note that after being
sentenced to execution in 1933, this
woman was somehow free six years

an answer within a few minutes.
For, although there are almost 100
million separate cards, representing
100 millJOn persons, on file, classification has been reduced to such 8
science that it is never necessary to
remove more than 100 cards for comparison to make positive identifiestion.
Building up this tremendous reservoir o! identification cards has become a hobby, almost a fetish, of
the nation's boss G-Man, J . Edgar
Hoover, director of the FBI. He
foresaw years ago the advantage of
the fingerprint system in both criminal identification, and in civilian
non-criminal investigations, both in
peace and wartime. The system has
had a tremendous growth during
these five war years.
Bureau Expanded by War Need.
For instance, on July 1, 1941, the
bureau had approximately 21,700,000
fingerprint records on file. But since
the war, fingerprint records have
been coming il'lto the bureau at the
rate of about 22,000 daily. Impetus
has been given through the selective
service system, and the civil service
commission, which requires fingerprinting of all employees.
War
workers are all fingerprinted, too
and copies are sent to the bureau,
so that during these war years about
77 million prints have been added.
The job of classifying, filing and
sorting these millions of separate
cards has been a tremendous one.
First it was necessary to recruit
girls from all over the nation. These
girls had to be above the average,
with high school or college educations. They took the regular FBI
oath. Their habits and lives were
thoroughly investigated and even
their place of residence in Washington picked !rom a list supplied and
approved by the FBI.
But to get this bureau started
.. . to overcome the popul~sr prejudice against being fingerprinted, to
sell police officials on the advantages
of the fingerprint system in the earIy days, took months and n.onths of
educational work by FBI agents
traveling throughout the country.
Enlisted Help of Local Pollee.
It took painstaking effort on the
part of the bureau to build up good
will among police officials and publie officials everywhere. In those
early days every agent had orders
when passing through a town to pay
his respects to the police officials
and to pass along a "message" from
J. Edgar Hoover concerning his willingness to help in any local investigation. The crux of the message
was "don' t forget to take fingerprints and send them in."
The identification division is now
housed, for the duration, in the
brand-new white stone District of Columbia national guard armory. It
occupies the whole building, and has
constructed new temporary additions to house the cafeteria, lounges
and locker rooms. Where it will go
after the war is a question.
Crimma l identification is indispensable in combating crime and of
course is a most potent factor in
apprehension of the fugitive . From
the earliest annals of history, personal identification of some c haracter has been in vogue. Members of
one savage tribe were distinguished
from others through dis tinctive attire, bodily decorations, or characteristic scars from self-infticted cuts
or burns. It was not until the ad-

at Tokyo in 1880 to establish the
fact that individual fingerprint patterns were of very great variety,
and that they remained unchangeable.
Sir Francis Galton, noted English
scientist, established the fact that
no two fingerprints are alike and
devised the first collection of ftngerprint records in 1892.

Right Turn

IThe BaSJS, oF Future f arm

isters in a room, is the most recent
1heating development from research
activities of the University of Illinois
and the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manuf~cturers. The new. development IS known as a "radiant
baseboard" and has several advantages over conventional heating arrangements.
Room warmth comes from a baseboard made of hollow cast iron
which is filled with hot water
fro~ a regular home heating boiler.
Radtant baseboards replnccd wooden ~aseboard~ along the bottom of
outs1de walls m rooms of the I-B-R
Research Home at the University
during the severe past winter and
proved completely successful.
They are painted to match woodwork of the room and are hard to
distinguish from the trim they replaced. Pipe connections from the
boilers are concealed in boxes at the
ends of the baseboards. Installation
was a relatively simple job.
The baseboard tested is slightly
over 6 inches high and less than 2
inches wide, though appearing thinner because of molding at top and
bottom. Future installations may be
recessed into the wall and extend
into the room no more than an average wooden baseboard.
As a heat source, the radiant baseboard is completely inconspicuous,
and does not in any way interfere
with furniture arrangement or room
use, as radiators or registers sometimes do. It is as easy to keep clean
as any conventional baseboard.
By spreading its warmth low-down
in the coolest part of the roo1nthe bottom of the outside \vall-und
providing a room-long source of
heat, the radiant baseboard provides
the most even floor-to-ceiling home
temperatures ~tver achieved. This is
important to comfort and health,
especially if small children are in
the home.

VEGETABLE COMPOUND ;.

Plain people in America are tired
of regimentation. The figures show
it. Late in April big-city newspapers were publishing tables of
figures that grew out of a survey
by the American Institute of Public
Opinion, popularly called a "Gallup
Poll." An article by George Gallup
himself accompanied the figures I
examined and they were both interesting and encouraging.
Nothing but victory in war could
make bigger news. Nothing short
of unconditional surrender by all of
America's national enemies could be
more gratifying than this: Suddenly
there has come a popular yearning
for the days when Mr. Customer was
boss, when people got paid according to what their work was worth,
when they had a right to anything
their money would buy.
Back to Luth
Dr. Gallup says, 'there are indications today that the largest group
of the Ame.rican people are not now
particularly interested in seeing
many changes or reforms in this
country after the war. In fact, a
survey just completed across the
nation by the Institute reveals that
the majority of Americans want
things to remain pretty much as
they were before the war."
The head of the Institute told a
few hopeful details about individual
answers to his questions. He says
a good share of the minority who
wish for post-war changes want to
change back, back to conditions we
knew years before the war. He
didn't say so, but indicated clearly
that the people are longing for the
days of self-reliance, before the
WPA, the CCC and the NYA.
Pompous Protests
People are beginning to walk
around the idea of dictated social
change to look at the back side of
it. The gold paint is beginning to
rub off thoie cheap theories about
all citizens doing a similp.r amount
of work and drawing about the same
pay, government guaranteed jobs
for everybody, politically run banks
and stores, regimented farmers,
standardized houses, clothes and
food.
The sawdust is showing
through .
The famous sul'Veyor of public
opinion grouped into three classes
everybody his scouts questioned.
The break-down was by educational attainment, (1) college, (2) high
school and (3) grade school people.
Now who, do you suppose, wants the
social changes? The college class58% of them. More than half the
other two groups disagree but most
of the cap-and-gown folk want
America made over.
Fake High-Brows
Revolutionists, critics of representative government, malcontents and
promoters of European theories
have done an amazing job in American colleges. The mystery is-How!
They smoke-screened the unique
prosperity of this world's most favored ~eople and, protected by academic indifference, spotlighted the
flaws of popular government and
fwned about unfair competition.
Selfishness is a trait of mortal
man, not a special feature of private enterprise. This fact has been
proved to a lot of honest people under war-time regimentation, needless restraints, questionable rationing and discourteous petty officials.
It is losing favor. We have heard
a lot about post-war demobilization
of the Army and Navy. Evidently
the public wants to hear about the
demobilization of bureaucracy.

h~tblts

Improper reading habits in children are believed by some authorities to be a major cause of nearsightedness, widely prevalent in the
United States, according to the
Bt:!tter Vision institute. Many children hold their books incorrectly
and tilt their heads at awkward
angles. Some books are poorly
printed, and in small type. Frequently lighting is inadequate and undesirable glare present. These conditions lead to excessive effort of the
eye muscles, causing fatigue and
aggravating any tendency towards
visual shortcomings that might
exist in the eyes of the youngsters.

Japanese Maneuvers in China

B-29s are dropping propaganda leaflets as well as bombs on Japan. At
left, leaflet depicting Uncle Sam standing over Jap leader with planes and
sWps, reads that warlords miscalculated American strength; in center,
military clique is shown pulling nation down; and at right, native feudal
warrior is pictured battling modern U. S. weapons, with inscription quoting
Jap sergeant on honor and logic of surrender.

PACIFIC:
Strategic Moves
Maneuverings by both Chinese
and Japanese troops in China commanded the shifting spotlight in the
Pacific, with the enemy seeking to
strengthen his position on the
Asiatic mainland against an expected U. S. invasion.
Fevered Japanese activity in
China continued as Okinawa fell and
the enemy reported the anchorage
of 100 Allied transports off the Ryu'yyus and the presence of an impres) ve task fleet in Formosan waters.
With Jap-occupied China considered a twin defensive bastion along with the homeland, itsell, the enemy's movements
in the territory apparently were
designed to meet the threat of a
combined U. S. attack from sea
and Chinese assault on land,
while also consolidating communication lines.
Reports from the mainland conflicted with the Chinese playing up
their assault on the big bomber base
at Liuchow previously lost to the
Jaos, and the enemy emphasizing
action northeast of Hong Kong
where they claimed to have foiled
the plans of 60,000 Chinese troops to
aid an American landing.
While the Nipponese maneuvered
about in China, U. S. conquest of
Okinawa made thei'r overall position
even more precarious, affording an
excellent operational base for future
aerial, sea or land assaults on either
Japan itself or nearby enemy holdings, notably Formosa.
Marked by some of tbe bloodie5t large-scale fighting of the
war, the Okinawa campaign cost
the Japs over 87,000 In dead
alone, with the usual small
smattering of prisoners, who
railed to battle to the end like
the majority. Though overwhelming U. S. air, sea and
ground power doomed the ene·
my from the start, the Japs
fought hard from cave-studded
terrain unUI the fall of the
Shuri line across the Island deprived them of strong natural
defenses. Of 45,029 U. S. casualties, 11,209 were killed or missing, and 33,769 wounded.

UNITED NATIONS:
Chart Peace
With final deliberations of the parley marked by concessions to the
smaller countries, the United Nations whipped their postwar peace
organization into shape at San Francisco, with major responsibility for
future stability devolving upon the
Big Five the U. S., Britain,
Russia, France and China. The pact
must now be ratified by member
countries.
Right to air a grievance before
the all-powerful security council bulwarked by the Big Five as permanent members, and the privilege to
discuss all matters falling within international relations, were the two
prerogatives won by the smaller
nations in the closing sessions of
the parley after Russian opposition.
Despite the smaller nations' last
minute victories, however, chief
powers of the postwar peace organization remain in the hands of the
Big Five, with virtually they alone
able to arbitrate disputes, impose
PconomJC sanctions to bring potential aggressors in line and call up
the international air, sea and ground
forces to enforce peace. Conversely, any of the Big Five could veto
such actton.
Crt::&gt;ation of the international air
sea and ground force under a gen~
era! military staff with regional
branches marked the first time in
htstory that such an organization
had been established.

MEAT PRODUCTION
With at least 3,00CI,OOO fewer workers on farms and ranches during
the last four years than in World
War I, the U. S. has produced and
processed an average of 7,000.000,000 more pounds of meat annually
than was produced and processed in
the average year of that war, Harry
W. Farr, chairman of the National
Live Stock and Meat board, reported
at the recent meeting of the organization.

Although no peace conference was
held at San Francisco, the United
Nations postwar organization provided for international trusteeships
over conquered enemy territory and
the eventual attainm ent of self-rule
or independence for so-called "subject" people. Under the arrangements, the U. S. would be permitted
to retain J ap possessions for defensive bases until congress agreed
to turn them over to the peace organization.
In addition to providing for political and military action, an international court of justice was set up
for the settlement of legal disputes
among nations, with the security
council empowered to enforce decisions. Special bodies looking toward
the social, as well as economic development of nations, also were established.

MONARCHY:
Under Pire
With the opposition threatening
virtual civil war if King Leopold
should return to
his throne in Belgium,
Europe's
time - honored but
dimming institution of monarchy
came under further
fire.
Weakened 1 on g
ago by constitutional stringencies,
kingly authority has
King Leopold come under heavy
assault in the wake
of World War II, particularly where
underground elements resisting German occupation claimed a hold on
the people. In the case of Greece,
George II finds himself unable to return to Athens because of internal

RECIPROCAL TRADE:
Pass New Act
Termed by Pres. Harry S. Truman "of the first order of importance for the success of my administration," the bill extending the recipocal trade act for three years
and authorizing the chief executive
to cut tariff levels 50 per cent below
existing levels was oassed by both
house and senate.
By a 54 to 21 vote, the senate sent
the bill to the White House for signature after defeating an effort to
strike the President's tariff cutting
authority from the legislation. Because some duties already have
been slashed 50 per cent below the
Smoot-Hawley schedules of 1930 under the previous reciprocal trade
act, total reductions of 75 per cent
will now be permissible.
. Though the Republican minority
b1tterly opposed the bill on the
grounds that it would countenance a
flow of cheap goods to the U. S. in
detriment to American producers,
administration forces experienced
little difficulty pushing the measure
through as a step toward international economic co-operation.

STATE REVENUES RISE
Collections from general sales
use and gross income taxes levied
by a total of 23 states soared in 1944
to an all-time high of $745,000,000or 38.5 per cent of the $1,940,000,000
collected by all 48 states from all
their major ~xcise taxes during the
year.
Total sales, use and gross income taxes, also, represents a
7.5 per cent increase over collections for 1943.

Graft Charged
Spurred by charges that hundreds of millions of dollars are being grafted on the construction of
the inter-American highway linking
the U. S. with the Panama canal,
the senate war investigating committee prepared to undertake a
probe of all projects on foreign soil.
Launched by the war department,
the inter-American highway came in
for the major attention, with Representative Arends (Ill.) pointing up
the charges with the declaration
that while a private construction
firm botched up a road building job
in Nicaragua for $8,000,000, army
engineers laid a similar stretch perfectly for only $2,000,000. Miles of
the private job are of soft road bed
and virtually impassable in many
parts, he said.
Echoing charges of Senators Ferguson (Mich.); Moore (Okla.) and
Robertson (Wyo.), Representative
Arends also declared that most of
the graft is made under arrangements whereby private contractors rent their own equipment to
the government for use on a project. Monthly rental of a D-8 crawler type tractor is $775 whether the
machine is worked or left idle, he
said.

ALUMINUM
Expansion of the aluminum industry in the U. S. to a capacity one
and one-half times the prewar production of the entire world has given
this country more than 300 major
aluminum plants, a survey shows.
In addition to 330 major works,
1,000 small aluminum foundries are
scattered. throughout the country,
and alummum plants of one kind or
another can now be found in 39 of
the 48 states. Five large plants are
producing oxide from which pure
aluminum is made.

If conditions are as bad as they
are known to be in our end of Europe, it would be unreasonable not
to suppose that they are twice as
bad in the unknown poorer end.
Many courses of probable action
are being discussed. Anglo - French
relations certainly need to be fixed
at once. Rapprochement between
De Gaulle and Churchill is called
for. More intelligent and earnest
American leadership to back the
people in Europe who like our way
of life (which was their historic
way) is needed.

He arranged
wlt.b the navy to permit t.be fishermen to
return to the waters. Despite orden Is·
wued by General Marvin, barring carts
from the city, Major Joppolo recaUed the
order to permit food and water to enter

110, returned from biding, 'lut was placed
onder arrest by the Major to save blm
lrom an orranlzed mob. He was or·
clered to report dally and repent hll
sin.a.

CHAPTER XI
One morning Tomasino the fisherman called on Major Joppolo at
the Palazzo. As he entered the
building, and even as he walked into
the Major's office, he looked like an
American sight-seer. His neck bent
'back on itself and his eyes wandered
around in dull amazement.
Major Joppolo was pleased to see
ttim and said cheerfully: "Good
morning, Tomasino."
But Tomasino's face changed
from curious to sullen, and he said:
••I did not want to do it."
"Do what, Tomasino?"
"Come to the place of authority,
this Palazzo. I have never done it
in my life. My wife made me do
it."
"Why? What did she want?"
"She said that i! you had lowered yourself to come and see me
-on my fish-boat, I could lower myself to go and see you in the Palazzo. She wanted me to invite you to
·come to our house tonight to help
eat some torrone which my daughter Tina made. My wi!e is a diffi·cult woman. I hate her. She thinks
she is the authority in my house."
· Major J oppolo said: "Please be
so good as to tell your wife that
even though her husband was so
reluctant in the delivery of her message, the Major would be delighted
1o accept."
Tomasino said: "I am of half a
mind not to tell her. I hate her."
Promptly at nine o'clock Major
J oppolo knocked on the door at 9
Via Vittorio Emanuele. Tomasino
-opened the door, but did not show
the slightest pleasure at having a
visitor.
"Come in," he grumbled.
The Major stepped in and tried
'to shake his hand but could not find
it in the dark.
"We have to climb many stairs,"
'Tomasino complained.
As a matter of fact, there was
·only one flight. At the top of it
·they turned into a brightly lighted
nallway. Tomasino led the Major
through the hallway to a narrow
parlor. This parlor belied the unsociability of Tomasino, for its furniture consisted almost exclusively of
·chairs-a sure sign, in Adano, of
1requent and numerous guests. Besides the chairs there were only a
large Italian radio in one corner
and a round table in the center. The
room was so narrow that from the
•chairs on either side one could reach
·whatever was on the table.
Two guests had arrivE!U before
-the Major, and their identity sur'Prised him.
"Hi, Major," said Captain Pur'ViS, who looked as if he had been
into a couple of bottles of wine,
"Giuseppe told me the old fishhound here had a couple of pretty
daughters. I was getting kinda lonesome. Giuseppe here told me he'd
·bring me up. Good old Giuseppe."
"Good night, a boss," said Giuseppe. He was much embarrassed;
'he had had no idea that the Major
·would show up.
The Major was just as embarTassed as Giuseppe. He was thinking of those sentences from the Amgot notebook: "Don't play favorites.
. • • Be careful about invita1ions . . . "
"Why, hello," the Major said.
"Haven't seen the quail yet," Captain Purvis said. "The old lady's out
in the kitchen. She's a honey,"
The Major sat down stiffly.
Captain Purvis said: "Say, I
-didn't know you were an old hand
around here, you dog. Why don't
you tell me about these good things?
You old bum, I thought you never
·did anything but work. Tell me,
how are these chickens?"
Major Joppolo said weakly: "I
hav.en't seen the girls, except one of
them in church. This is my first
time here."
Captain Purvis, who was unquestionably tipsy, said: "Hey, speaking of chickens, I heard one the other day. You remember where Hoover said once that he was going to
fix it so there would be a chicken
·In every pot? Well, I heard the other day that after the U.S. Army was
ardund these Italian towns for a
while there was going to be a chicken on every lap."
The Captain roared with laughter. Giuseppe, although he had no
idea what the point was, laughed
politely. The Major was horrified.
'Tomasino sat in depressed silence,
understanding nothing.
Tomasino's wife came in from
the kitchen with a platter of torrone and saved the day. She must
have weighed two hundred and fifty
pounds. She put the candy down.
Giuseppe jumped to his feet and
introduced the Major to Tomasino's
wife. Her name was Rosa.
She said in her husky fat lady's
Yoice: "I am delighted to see you

c---!)

"W.Ii. U. rr.ATUR1i3

here, Mister Major. That wet stone"
-she pointed at Tomasino-"almost refused to go and ask you."
Captain Purvis said: "Where are
these pretty mackerel the old fishhound is supposed to have? Say,
Major, we got to make a deal here.
Giuseppe here says he thinks I'd
like the dark one best."
Giuseppe put in a word for his
loyalty: "I'm a save a blonde for
you, boss."
Major Joppolo really didn't know
what to say.
Giuseppe said qui!:kly to the fat
Rosa, "Where are the girls?"
The mother said: "If you think
you can hurry two pretty girls trying to make themselves prettier,
you'll find them in the bedroom."
Major Joppolo was alarmed to see
Giuseppe get up and go into the
bedroom. He wondered what kind
of girls these were, anyhow.
But in a few moments Giuseppe
came back, leading a girl by each
hand. He had apparently explained
the situation to the girls, because
Tina went directly to Major J oppolo, shook his hand, and sat down
beside him, and the dark one, Francesca, went straight to Captain Purvis, shook his hand, and sat down
by him.
"Mmm," said Captain Purvis,
"not bad." He felt secure in the
certainty that the girls did not speak
English.
"Take it easy," Major Joppolo
said.
Tina said in Italian: "I heard you
breathing in church last Sunday.

"I've never been so happy in my
life."
You ought to take more exercise,
Mister Major."
Major Joppolo said: "I was late,
I was very late. I got working on
something, and I lost track of time.
I had to run to church. It was very
embarrassing."
Tina said: "You had Father Pensovecchio worried. I could tell by
the way he got mixed up in his service."
Major Joppolo said: "Do you go
to church every Sunday?"
Tina said: "Of course."
Major Joppolo was able to talk
with Tina, interrupted only once in
a while by bursts from the mother
and gales of laughter all around the
room, except from Tomasino, who
stared moodily at the floor.
The Major said: "Do you always
go to the Church of San Angelo?"
This time it was Tina who
blushed. "No," she said. "Giuseppe told me you were going to
be there. I wanted to see what
the American Major was like. Most
Sundays I go to the Church of the
Benedettini."
Major Joppolo said: "What did
you think of the American Major?"
Tina said: "He breathes very
loudly, like the leaky bellows of the
pipe organ at the Benedettini."
The Major laughed.
"Have a piece of torrone," Tina
said. "I made it."
One could not very well turn down
an invitation put just that way, so
the Major took a big piece. The
candy was passed all around the
room, and for a time all conversation stopped. Nothing could be
heard except the crunching of nuts
between teeth and the smacking
sound of boiled sugar coming unstuck from teeth. During this time
of chewing, Major Joppolo couldn't
help thinking how strange it was to
build a whole evening around the
eating of torrone, but that seemed
to be the program.
When he dared, Major Joppolo
said "Good."
Captain Purvis could afford to be
more honest in English. He said:
"What did we come to, a glue factory?"
"Another piece," Tina said to the
Major cordially.
"In a few minutes," the Major
said.
"We must have some wine," the
fat and happy Rosa said. "Go out
in the kitchen, fool," she said to

Tomasino, "and get a bottle of Marsala."
Wine on top of torrone, and prob·
ably mixed right up with it. Major
Joppolo could think of nothing less
tempting, but Captain Purvis, hearing the word vino, shouted: "Vino,
hurray for vino."
Major J oppolo stood up and said:
"Purvis, either you shut your big
trap or I'll throw you out of here."
Captain Purvis said: "Aw come
on, Major, don't be a spdl sport.
You know you feel the same way,
i! you were just honest enough to
say so."
"Shut up, Purvis!" The Major's
eyes blazed. "That's an order. Now
you behave yourself."
Captain Purvis stood up and saluted with a wavering dignity.
Tomasino came back with the
wine, and Captain Purvis saluted
the bottle, bending slightly at the
waist and aiming the breakaway of
the salute straight at the bottle.
Rosa, sensing that something was
wrong, shouted desperately: "My
buy, my buy!" But nobody laughed.
Tina jumped up and said: "Let's
dance," and she ran over to the radio and turned on Radio Moscow.
"Moscow alway~ has the best music," she said.
Francesca, with Major Joppolo's
help, . carried the table from the
middle of the room to the end away
from the radio. Captain Purvis
rushed over to Rosa. held out his
arms, and said: "Okay, fatso, let's
dance."
Rosa understood from his l!estures
what he meant, and she stood up
laughing. The tipsy Captain and his
huge partner careened around the
room. After a couple of turns Rosa
collapsed into a chair.
Then Captain Purvis danced with
Francesca, and Major Joppolo with
Tina. They stamped and laughed
and talked above the music until
Tomasino said glumly: "You are
making too much noise. You will
wake the girls."
Tina ran over and toned the radio
down a little.
"The girls?" the Major said.
Tina blushed.
She said: "My
sister's daughters."
"Francesca's?"
"Oh, no, of my sister who is in
Rome."
Major Joppolo did not think to
ask why tlfe daughters were in Adano and the mother in Rome; or why
Tina blushed; or why she did not
seem very anxious to talk any more
about the sleeping girls.
"Let's dance some more," she
said.
So they danced until they were
both sweating in the midsummer
heat.
It was Tina who said: "Some
fresh air, Mister Major?"
He said: "That would be a good
idea."
Tina said: "We can go right out
here."
She slipped out through wooden
shutter doors onto a narrow balcony over the dark street, and the
Major followed her.
Tina closed the shutter doors behind the Major.
The two stood against the cool iron
of the balcony railing and looked
up at the sharp stars. Tina said:
"Do you like it here?"
Major Joppolo said: "I've never
been so happy in my life."
''That seems strange," Tina said,
"when you're so far from home."
"I'm not so far from home, in a
way. Florence is almost a home
to me. My father and mother were
from a little town near Florence."
"Where are you from, in America I mean?"
"The Bronx, Tina."
"Where is that, the Bronx?"
"New York."
"The Bronx is part of New York
City?"
"Sometimes I think New York
City is part of the Bronx."
"Oh, I should love to go there.
Is the Bronx beautiful? Is it beautiful for Florentines in the Bronx?
How would it be for someone from
Adano?"
"For my Florentine parents, I
think it is beautiful, yes, it is beautiful. In Italy they were just poor
peasants, and you know it is not
very beautiful for most of the peasants here. There my father is a
waiter. He has a very good job, in
the University Club, it is a very
nice atmosphere, all the chairs are
leather like in the Palazzo and the
walls are all panelled. My mother
has a washing machine. Father has
a car. It is very beautiful for them,
I think. For me, it was not always so beautiful."
"Why not, Mister Major?"
"Well, it's hard to explain. You
see, I grew up in America. I could
see that the Bronx was not the
most beautiful place in America. I
always wanted a little more than
we had. I don't know, it's hard to
explain."
"No," said Tina, "you don't have
to explain. I know what it is to be
restless. That's why my hair is
blonde, I guess."
Major Joppolo had made up his
mind that Tina's hair was dyed.
But he didn't expect her to talk
about it.
Tina sensed his embarrassment.
"Oh, my hair is not natural, Mister
Major. I dyed it because I was not
satisfied. My dark hair was my
Bronx. Every one had d?rk hair
I wanted something different."

Water- A Farm 'I iral'
A "farm first" for health and convenience is an adequate c;upply of

fresh, pure water undN pressure
and a sanitary sewage disposal system. Water can be supplied under
pressure by an automatic electric
pump, and elevated tank or a hydropneumatic tank with windmill or
gasoline engine. Runnmg water to
the home and to livestock is one of
the greatest labor-saving devices
which can be added to the farm. A
septic tank of adequate size and
proper design is a time prove~1 solution to the farm sewage dtsposal

Cuccitliosis Control
Outbreaks of coccidiosis of chickens can be controlled by use of dried
milk products or of molasses if the
treatment is given early enough.
The first symptoms of coccidiosis
are loss of appetite and inclination
of the bird to stand without moving.
Four parts of dried milk can be
mixed with six parts of mash for
two days, or one pint of molasses
can be placed in five gallons of the
only accessible drinking water for
one-halt day.

enemies that call for early storage of winter woolens. The first
rule is to have clean clothing, for
the clothes moth glories in grime,
but dislikes cleanliness. Most of the
clothing probably should go t~ the
cleaners, but check all of it for
spots, stains and dust. Clean out the
pockets, give everything an energetic brushing and let the garments
waft in the spring breezes while
preparing a place to store them.
More of the dislikes of moths should
be considered in choosing a storage place. Usually a closet is the
homemaker's best bet, but only if it
is airtight, dry, cool and dark. It
should be airtight to prevent fumes
from the moth spray, flakes or balls
from escaping; dry to prevent the
growth of mildew in precious fab riCS r cool to prevent growth of
nwths; and dark to keep colors from

Udder Examination Helps
To Find Producing Ability
Dairy scientists of the department
of agriculture find that by examining the udder of a heifer calf when
she is four months old, they can get
a good idea whether she will turn
out to be a good milk producer or
not. They worked on the new method for years in the high-producing
dairy herd at Beltsville Research
center. They think that with a little
practice any farmer can learn 'o
judge heifer calves the same way.
In working out the new plan for
judging heifers, the department men
first determined, by feel, the standard or average udder development
of the calves in their herd at different ages. Then they graded all
the heifers as high, medium or
low, compared to the standard. Later they checked the grades of the
calves against the milk production
records those same animals made
as cows. They found a fairly close
match between the high, medium,
and low grades in udder develop
ment, and the high, medium, and
low milk production records.
Since the standard used in working out the judging method was
based on an especially high-producing herd, extension dairymen are
1ow teaching dairy cattle breeders in
various parts of the country how to
apply the system in their herds in
order to test the system thoroughly
before it is recommended for general use.

In the navy, holystones were, until recently, used to scrub and

goes far back into the antiquity
of naval lore. The stones were
originally so named because fragments of broken monuments from

In 1892 he assembled the first collection of fingerprints in the world.
In 1896 the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which ineludes the heads of police departments of most of the principal cities
of this country and Canada, established a special bureau at Chicago.
This was later removed to Washington and became known as the
National Bureau of Criminal Identification. Its purpose was the compiling of Bertillon records. As use
of the Bertillon system was discontinued the national bureau gradually
began acquiring a collection of fingerprint records.
FBI Took Over in 1924.
In 1924 this identification division
was placed under the jurisdiction of
the FBI and received and consolidated in Washington the records of both
the National Bureau of Criminal
Identification and the records of the
Leavenworth prison.
More than
11,000 law enforcement agencies today are submitting prints to the bureau and more than 600 fugitives are
identified by the bureau each month.
The bureau has now on file more
than 1,200,000 prints of persons applying for government positions under the Civil Service commission.
Comparison with criminal records
show that 7.7 per cent of these have
had a previous criminal history, or
about 1 out of 20 applicants. Through
the vigilance of the FBI these people
are barred from obtaining positions
of trust within the government.
Here's an example of how these
requests of identification work. In
1939 the Works Projects administration in New York City submitted
prints of a woman applying for a
job as housekeeper. Search revealed that she was arrested in June,
1933, on a first degree murder charge
and a fingerprint card sent from
Sing Sing indicated that the woman
was incarcerated at Ossining, N. Y.,

interesting to note that after being
sentenced to execution in 1933, this
woman was somehow free six years

For, although there are almost 100
million separate cards, representing
100 millJOn persons, on file, classification has been reduced to such 8
science that it is never necessary to
remove more than 100 cards for comparison to make positive identifiestion.
Building up this tremendous reservoir o! identification cards has become a hobby, almost a fetish, of
the nation's boss G-Man, J . Edgar
Hoover, director of the FBI. He
foresaw years ago the advantage of
the fingerprint system in both criminal identification, and in civilian
non-criminal investigations, both in
peace and wartime. The system has
had a tremendous growth during
these five war years.
Bureau Expanded by War Need.
For instance, on July 1, 1941, the
bureau had approximately 21,700,000
fingerprint records on file. But since
the war, fingerprint records have
been coming il'lto the bureau at the
rate of about 22,000 daily. Impetus
has been given through the selective
service system, and the civil service
commission, which requires fingerprinting of all employees.
War
workers are all fingerprinted, too
and copies are sent to the bureau,
so that during these war years about
77 million prints have been added.
The job of classifying, filing and
sorting these millions of separate
cards has been a tremendous one.
First it was necessary to recruit
girls from all over the nation. These
girls had to be above the average,
with high school or college educations. They took the regular FBI
oath. Their habits and lives were
thoroughly investigated and even
their place of residence in Washington picked !rom a list supplied and
approved by the FBI.
But to get this bureau started
.. . to overcome the popul~sr prejudice against being fingerprinted, to
sell police officials on the advantages
of the fingerprint system in the earIy days, took months and n.onths of
educational work by FBI agents
traveling throughout the country.
Enlisted Help of Local Pollee.
It took painstaking effort on the
part of the bureau to build up good
will among police officials and publie officials everywhere. In those
early days every agent had orders
when passing through a town to pay
his respects to the police officials
and to pass along a "message" from
J. Edgar Hoover concerning his willingness to help in any local investigation. The crux of the message
was "don' t forget to take fingerprints and send them in."
The identification division is now
housed, for the duration, in the
brand-new white stone District of Columbia national guard armory. It
occupies the whole building, and has
constructed new temporary additions to house the cafeteria, lounges
and locker rooms. Where it will go
after the war is a question.
Crimma l identification is indispensable in combating crime and of
course is a most potent factor in
apprehension of the fugitive . From
the earliest annals of history, personal identification of some c haracter has been in vogue. Members of
one savage tribe were distinguished
from others through dis tinctive attire, bodily decorations, or characteristic scars from self-infticted cuts
or burns. It was not until the ad-

at Tokyo in 1880 to establish the
fact that individual fingerprint patterns were of very great variety,

Right Turn

IThe BaSJS, oF Future f arm

isters in a room, is the most recent
1heating development from research
activities of the University of Illinois
and the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manuf~cturers. The new. development IS known as a "radiant
baseboard" and has several advantages over conventional heating arrangements.
Room warmth comes from a baseboard made of hollow cast iron
which is filled with hot water
fro~ a regular home heating boiler.
Radtant baseboards replnccd wooden ~aseboard~ along the bottom of
outs1de walls m rooms of the I-B-R
Research Home at the University
during the severe past winter and
proved completely successful.
They are painted to match woodwork of the room and are hard to
distinguish from the trim they replaced. Pipe connections from the
boilers are concealed in boxes at the
ends of the baseboards. Installation
was a relatively simple job.
The baseboard tested is slightly
over 6 inches high and less than 2
inches wide, though appearing thinner because of molding at top and
bottom. Future installations may be
recessed into the wall and extend
into the room no more than an average wooden baseboard.
As a heat source, the radiant baseboard is completely inconspicuous,
and does not in any way interfere
with furniture arrangement or room
use, as radiators or registers sometimes do. It is as easy to keep clean
as any conventional baseboard.
By spreading its warmth low-down
in the coolest part of the roo1nthe bottom of the outside \vall-und
providing a room-long source of
heat, the radiant baseboard provides
the most even floor-to-ceiling home
temperatures ~tver achieved. This is
important to comfort and health,
especially if small children are in
the home.

VEGETABLE COMPOUND ;.

Plain people in America are tired
of regimentation. The figures show
it. Late in April big-city newspapers were publishing tables of
figures that grew out of a survey
by the American Institute of Public
Opinion, popularly called a "Gallup
Poll." An article by George Gallup
himself accompanied the figures I
examined and they were both interesting and encouraging.
Nothing but victory in war could
make bigger news. Nothing short
of unconditional surrender by all of
America's national enemies could be
more gratifying than this: Suddenly
there has come a popular yearning
for the days when Mr. Customer was
boss, when people got paid according to what their work was worth,
when they had a right to anything
their money would buy.
Back to Luth
Dr. Gallup says, 'there are indications today that the largest group
of the Ame.rican people are not now
particularly interested in seeing
many changes or reforms in this
country after the war. In fact, a
survey just completed across the
nation by the Institute reveals that
the majority of Americans want
things to remain pretty much as
they were before the war."
The head of the Institute told a
few hopeful details about individual
answers to his questions. He says
a good share of the minority who
wish for post-war changes want to
change back, back to conditions we
knew years before the war. He
didn't say so, but indicated clearly
that the people are longing for the
days of self-reliance, before the
WPA, the CCC and the NYA.
Pompous Protests
People are beginning to walk
around the idea of dictated social
change to look at the back side of
it. The gold paint is beginning to
rub off thoie cheap theories about
all citizens doing a similp.r amount
of work and drawing about the same
pay, government guaranteed jobs
for everybody, politically run banks
and stores, regimented farmers,
standardized houses, clothes and
food.
The sawdust is showing
through .
The famous sul'Veyor of public
opinion grouped into three classes
everybody his scouts questioned.
The break-down was by educational attainment, (1) college, (2) high
school and (3) grade school people.
Now who, do you suppose, wants the
social changes? The college class58% of them. More than half the
other two groups disagree but most
of the cap-and-gown folk want
America made over.
Fake High-Brows
Revolutionists, critics of representative government, malcontents and
promoters of European theories
have done an amazing job in American colleges. The mystery is-How!
They smoke-screened the unique
prosperity of this world's most favored ~eople and, protected by academic indifference, spotlighted the
flaws of popular government and
fwned about unfair competition.
Selfishness is a trait of mortal
man, not a special feature of private enterprise. This fact has been
proved to a lot of honest people under war-time regimentation, needless restraints, questionable rationing and discourteous petty officials.
It is losing favor. We have heard
a lot about post-war demobilization
of the Army and Navy. Evidently
the public wants to hear about the
demobilization of bureaucracy.

h~tblts

Improper reading habits in children are believed by some authorities to be a major cause of nearsightedness, widely prevalent in the
United States, according to the
Bt:!tter Vision institute. Many children hold their books incorrectly
and tilt their heads at awkward
angles. Some books are poorly
printed, and in small type. Frequently lighting is inadequate and undesirable glare present. These conditions lead to excessive effort of the
eye muscles, causing fatigue and
aggravating any tendency towards
visual shortcomings that might
exist in the eyes of the youngsters.

Jap sergeant on honor and logic of surrender.

PACIFIC:
Strategic Moves
Maneuverings by both Chinese
and Japanese troops in China commanded the shifting spotlight in the
Pacific, with the enemy seeking to
strengthen his position on the
Asiatic mainland against an expected U. S. invasion.
Fevered Japanese activity in
China continued as Okinawa fell and
the enemy reported the anchorage
of 100 Allied transports off the Ryu'yyus and the presence of an impres) ve task fleet in Formosan waters.
With Jap-occupied China considered a twin defensive bastion along with the homeland, itsell, the enemy's movements
in the territory apparently were
designed to meet the threat of a
combined U. S. attack from sea
and Chinese assault on land,
while also consolidating communication lines.
Reports from the mainland conflicted with the Chinese playing up
their assault on the big bomber base
at Liuchow previously lost to the
Jaos, and the enemy emphasizing
action northeast of Hong Kong
where they claimed to have foiled
the plans of 60,000 Chinese troops to
aid an American landing.
While the Nipponese maneuvered
about in China, U. S. conquest of
Okinawa made thei'r overall position
even more precarious, affording an
excellent operational base for future
aerial, sea or land assaults on either
Japan itself or nearby enemy holdings, notably Formosa.
Marked by some of tbe bloodie5t large-scale fighting of the
war, the Okinawa campaign cost
the Japs over 87,000 In dead

smattering of prisoners, who
railed to battle to the end like
the majority. Though overwhelming U. S. air, sea and
ground power doomed the ene·
my from the start, the Japs

terrain unUI the fall of the
Shuri line across the Island deprived them of strong natural
defenses. Of 45,029 U. S. casualties, 11,209 were killed or missing, and 33,769 wounded.

UNITED NATIONS:
Chart Peace
With final deliberations of the parley marked by concessions to the
smaller countries, the United Nations whipped their postwar peace
organization into shape at San Francisco, with major responsibility for
future stability devolving upon the
Big Five the U. S., Britain,
Russia, France and China. The pact
must now be ratified by member
countries.
Right to air a grievance before
the all-powerful security council bulwarked by the Big Five as permanent members, and the privilege to
discuss all matters falling within international relations, were the two
prerogatives won by the smaller
nations in the closing sessions of
the parley after Russian opposition.
Despite the smaller nations' last
minute victories, however, chief
powers of the postwar peace organization remain in the hands of the
Big Five, with virtually they alone
able to arbitrate disputes, impose
PconomJC sanctions to bring potential aggressors in line and call up
the international air, sea and ground
forces to enforce peace. Conversely, any of the Big Five could veto
such actton.
Crt::&gt;ation of the international air
sea and ground force under a gen~
era! military staff with regional
branches marked the first time in
htstory that such an organization
had been established.

MEAT PRODUCTION
With at least 3,00CI,OOO fewer workers on farms and ranches during
the last four years than in World
War I, the U. S. has produced and
processed an average of 7,000.000,000 more pounds of meat annually
than was produced and processed in
the average year of that war, Harry
W. Farr, chairman of the National
Live Stock and Meat board, reported
at the recent meeting of the organization.

Although no peace conference was
held at San Francisco, the United
Nations postwar organization provided for international trusteeships
over conquered enemy territory and
the eventual attainm ent of self-rule
or independence for so-called "subject" people. Under the arrangements, the U. S. would be permitted
to retain J ap possessions for defensive bases until congress agreed
to turn them over to the peace organization.
In addition to providing for political and military action, an international court of justice was set up
for the settlement of legal disputes
among nations, with the security
council empowered to enforce decisions. Special bodies looking toward
the social, as well as economic development of nations, also were established.

MONARCHY:
Under Pire
With the opposition threatening
virtual civil war if King Leopold
should return to
his throne in Belgium,
Europe's
time - honored but
dimming institution of monarchy
came under further
fire.
Weakened 1 on g
ago by constitutional stringencies,
kingly authority has
King Leopold come under heavy
assault in the wake
of World War II, particularly where
underground elements resisting German occupation claimed a hold on
the people. In the case of Greece,
George II finds himself unable to return to Athens because of internal
opposition; in Yugoslavia, Peter has
been forced to bow to the Partisan
Tito, ex-metal worker; in Italy, Victor Emmanuel was forced to retire
because of democratic politicians'
opposition to his countenancing of
Fascism and put the monarchy in
Prince Umberto's none too firm or
popular hands.
No weakling, Leopold has not
been cowed by his opposition, seeking to return with the support of the
strong Catholic party plus sympathetic elements from other political parties. Though Britain has professed open neutrality in the Belgian dispute, Leopold's mother hall
been active in his behalf in London,
where strong attachment to monarchy continues to exist particularly because of the opportunity it affords for welding alliances through
family ulationships.

RECIPROCAL TRADE:
Pass New Act
Termed by Pres. Harry S. Truman "of the first order of importance for the success of my administration," the bill extending the recipocal trade act for three years
and authorizing the chief executive
to cut tariff levels 50 per cent below
existing levels was oassed by both
house and senate.
By a 54 to 21 vote, the senate sent
the bill to the White House for signature after defeating an effort to
strike the President's tariff cutting
authority from the legislation. Because some duties already have
been slashed 50 per cent below the
Smoot-Hawley schedules of 1930 under the previous reciprocal trade
act, total reductions of 75 per cent
will now be permissible.
. Though the Republican minority
b1tterly opposed the bill on the
grounds that it would countenance a
flow of cheap goods to the U. S. in
detriment to American producers,
administration forces experienced
little difficulty pushing the measure
through as a step toward international economic co-operation.

STATE REVENUES RISE
Collections from general sales
use and gross income taxes levied
by a total of 23 states soared in 1944
to an all-time high of $745,000,000or 38.5 per cent of the $1,940,000,000
collected by all 48 states from all
their major ~xcise taxes during the
year.
Total sales, use and gross income taxes, also, represents a
7.5 per cent increase over collections for 1943.

Graft Charged
Spurred by charges that hundreds of millions of dollars are being grafted on the construction of
the inter-American highway linking
the U. S. with the Panama canal,
the senate war investigating committee prepared to undertake a
probe of all projects on foreign soil.
Launched by the war department,
the inter-American highway came in
for the major attention, with Representative Arends (Ill.) pointing up
the charges with the declaration
that while a private construction
firm botched up a road building job
in Nicaragua for $8,000,000, army
engineers laid a similar stretch perfectly for only $2,000,000. Miles of
the private job are of soft road bed
and virtually impassable in many
parts, he said.
Echoing charges of Senators Ferguson (Mich.); Moore (Okla.) and
Robertson (Wyo.), Representative
Arends also declared that most of
the graft is made under arrangements whereby private contractors rent their own equipment to
the government for use on a project. Monthly rental of a D-8 crawler type tractor is $775 whether the
machine is worked or left idle, he
said.

ALUMINUM
Expansion of the aluminum industry in the U. S. to a capacity one
and one-half times the prewar production of the entire world has given
this country more than 300 major
aluminum plants, a survey shows.
In addition to 330 major works,
1,000 small aluminum foundries are
scattered. throughout the country,
and alummum plants of one kind or
another can now be found in 39 of
the 48 states. Five large plants are
producing oxide from which pure
aluminum is made.

If conditions are as bad as they
are known to be in our end of Europe, it would be unreasonable not
to suppose that they are twice as
bad in the unknown poorer end.
Many courses of probable action
are being discussed. Anglo - French
relations certainly need to be fixed
at once. Rapprochement between
De Gaulle and Churchill is called
for. More intelligent and earnest
American leadership to back the
people in Europe who like our way

way) is needed.

utlcl confidence and replace t.be town
~eu stolen by the Nazis.
He arranged
wlt.b the navy to permit t.be fishermen to
return to the waters. Despite orden Is·
wued by General Marvin, barring carts
from the city, Major Joppolo recaUed the
order to permit food and water to enter
tbe town. Nasta, former mayor of Ada·
110, returned from biding, 'lut was placed
onder arrest by the Major to save blm
lrom an orranlzed mob. He was or·
clered to report dally and repent hll
sin.a.

CHAPTER XI
One morning Tomasino the fisherman called on Major Joppolo at
the Palazzo. As he entered the
building, and even as he walked into
the Major's office, he looked like an
American sight-seer. His neck bent
'back on itself and his eyes wandered
around in dull amazement.
Major Joppolo was pleased to see
ttim and said cheerfully: "Good
morning, Tomasino."
But Tomasino's face changed
from curious to sullen, and he said:
••I did not want to do it."
"Do what, Tomasino?"
"Come to the place of authority,
this Palazzo. I have never done it
in my life. My wife made me do
it."
"Why? What did she want?"
"She said that i! you had lowered yourself to come and see me
-on my fish-boat, I could lower myself to go and see you in the Palazzo. She wanted me to invite you to
·come to our house tonight to help
eat some torrone which my daughter Tina made. My wi!e is a diffi·cult woman. I hate her. She thinks
she is the authority in my house."
· Major J oppolo said: "Please be
so good as to tell your wife that
even though her husband was so
reluctant in the delivery of her message, the Major would be delighted
1o accept."
Tomasino said: "I am of half a
mind not to tell her. I hate her."
Promptly at nine o'clock Major
J oppolo knocked on the door at 9
Via Vittorio Emanuele. Tomasino
-opened the door, but did not show
the slightest pleasure at having a
visitor.
"Come in," he grumbled.
The Major stepped in and tried
'to shake his hand but could not find
it in the dark.
"We have to climb many stairs,"
'Tomasino complained.
As a matter of fact, there was
·only one flight. At the top of it
·they turned into a brightly lighted
nallway. Tomasino led the Major
through the hallway to a narrow
parlor. This parlor belied the unsociability of Tomasino, for its furniture consisted almost exclusively of
·chairs-a sure sign, in Adano, of
1requent and numerous guests. Besides the chairs there were only a
large Italian radio in one corner
and a round table in the center. The
room was so narrow that from the
•chairs on either side one could reach
·whatever was on the table.
Two guests had arrivE!U before
-the Major, and their identity sur'Prised him.
"Hi, Major," said Captain Pur'ViS, who looked as if he had been
into a couple of bottles of wine,
"Giuseppe told me the old fishhound here had a couple of pretty
daughters. I was getting kinda lonesome. Giuseppe here told me he'd
·bring me up. Good old Giuseppe."
"Good night, a boss," said Giuseppe. He was much embarrassed;
'he had had no idea that the Major
·would show up.
The Major was just as embarTassed as Giuseppe. He was thinking of those sentences from the Amgot notebook: "Don't play favorites.
. • • Be careful about invita1ions . . . "
"Why, hello," the Major said.
"Haven't seen the quail yet," Captain Purvis said. "The old lady's out
in the kitchen. She's a honey,"
The Major sat down stiffly.
Captain Purvis said: "Say, I
-didn't know you were an old hand
around here, you dog. Why don't
you tell me about these good things?
You old bum, I thought you never
·did anything but work. Tell me,
how are these chickens?"
Major Joppolo said weakly: "I
hav.en't seen the girls, except one of
them in church. This is my first
time here."
Captain Purvis, who was unquestionably tipsy, said: "Hey, speaking of chickens, I heard one the other day. You remember where Hoover said once that he was going to
fix it so there would be a chicken
·In every pot? Well, I heard the other day that after the U.S. Army was
ardund these Italian towns for a
while there was going to be a chicken on every lap."
The Captain roared with laughter. Giuseppe, although he had no
idea what the point was, laughed
politely. The Major was horrified.
'Tomasino sat in depressed silence,
understanding nothing.
Tomasino's wife came in from
the kitchen with a platter of torrone and saved the day. She must
have weighed two hundred and fifty
pounds. She put the candy down.
Giuseppe jumped to his feet and
introduced the Major to Tomasino's
wife. Her name was Rosa.
She said in her husky fat lady's
Yoice: "I am delighted to see you

here, Mister Major. That wet stone"
-she pointed at Tomasino-"almost refused to go and ask you."
Captain Purvis said: "Where are
these pretty mackerel the old fishhound is supposed to have? Say,
Major, we got to make a deal here.
Giuseppe here says he thinks I'd
like the dark one best."
Giuseppe put in a word for his
loyalty: "I'm a save a blonde for
you, boss."
Major Joppolo really didn't know
what to say.
Giuseppe said qui!:kly to the fat
Rosa, "Where are the girls?"
The mother said: "If you think
you can hurry two pretty girls trying to make themselves prettier,
you'll find them in the bedroom."
Major Joppolo was alarmed to see
Giuseppe get up and go into the
bedroom. He wondered what kind
of girls these were, anyhow.
But in a few moments Giuseppe
came back, leading a girl by each
hand. He had apparently explained
the situation to the girls, because
Tina went directly to Major J oppolo, shook his hand, and sat down
beside him, and the dark one, Francesca, went straight to Captain Purvis, shook his hand, and sat down
by him.
"Mmm," said Captain Purvis,
"not bad." He felt secure in the
certainty that the girls did not speak
English.
"Take it easy," Major Joppolo
said.
Tina said in Italian: "I heard you
breathing in church last Sunday.

"I've never been so happy in my
life."
You ought to take more exercise,
Mister Major."
Major Joppolo said: "I was late,
I was very late. I got working on
something, and I lost track of time.
I had to run to church. It was very
embarrassing."
Tina said: "You had Father Pensovecchio worried. I could tell by
the way he got mixed up in his service."
Major Joppolo said: "Do you go
to church every Sunday?"
Tina said: "Of course."
Major Joppolo was able to talk
with Tina, interrupted only once in
a while by bursts from the mother
and gales of laughter all around the
room, except from Tomasino, who
stared moodily at the floor.
The Major said: "Do you always
go to the Church of San Angelo?"
This time it was Tina who
blushed. "No," she said. "Giuseppe told me you were going to
be there. I wanted to see what
the American Major was like. Most
Sundays I go to the Church of the
Benedettini."
Major Joppolo said: "What did
you think of the American Major?"
Tina said: "He breathes very
loudly, like the leaky bellows of the
pipe organ at the Benedettini."
The Major laughed.
"Have a piece of torrone," Tina
said. "I made it."
One could not very well turn down
an invitation put just that way, so
the Major took a big piece. The
candy was passed all around the
room, and for a time all conversation stopped. Nothing could be
heard except the crunching of nuts
between teeth and the smacking
sound of boiled sugar coming unstuck from teeth. During this time
of chewing, Major Joppolo couldn't
help thinking how strange it was to
build a whole evening around the
eating of torrone, but that seemed
to be the program.
When he dared, Major Joppolo
said "Good."
Captain Purvis could afford to be
more honest in English. He said:
"What did we come to, a glue factory?"
"Another piece," Tina said to the
Major cordially.
"In a few minutes," the Major
said.
"We must have some wine," the
fat and happy Rosa said. "Go out
in the kitchen, fool," she said to

Tomasino, "and get a bottle of Marsala."
Wine on top of torrone, and prob·
ably mixed right up with it. Major
Joppolo could think of nothing less
tempting, but Captain Purvis, hearing the word vino, shouted: "Vino,
hurray for vino."
Major J oppolo stood up and said:
"Purvis, either you shut your big
trap or I'll throw you out of here."
Captain Purvis said: "Aw come
on, Major, don't be a spdl sport.
You know you feel the same way,
i! you were just honest enough to
say so."
"Shut up, Purvis!" The Major's
eyes blazed. "That's an order. Now
you behave yourself."
Captain Purvis stood up and saluted with a wavering dignity.
Tomasino came back with the
wine, and Captain Purvis saluted
the bottle, bending slightly at the
waist and aiming the breakaway of
the salute straight at the bottle.
Rosa, sensing that something was
wrong, shouted desperately: "My
buy, my buy!" But nobody laughed.
Tina jumped up and said: "Let's
dance," and she ran over to the radio and turned on Radio Moscow.
"Moscow alway~ has the best music," she said.
Francesca, with Major Joppolo's
help, . carried the table from the
middle of the room to the end away
from the radio. Captain Purvis
rushed over to Rosa. held out his
arms, and said: "Okay, fatso, let's
dance."
Rosa understood from his l!estures
what he meant, and she stood up
laughing. The tipsy Captain and his
huge partner careened around the
room. After a couple of turns Rosa
collapsed into a chair.
Then Captain Purvis danced with
Francesca, and Major Joppolo with
Tina. They stamped and laughed
and talked above the music until
Tomasino said glumly: "You are
making too much noise. You will
wake the girls."
Tina ran over and toned the radio
down a little.
"The girls?" the Major said.
Tina blushed.
She said: "My
sister's daughters."
"Francesca's?"
"Oh, no, of my sister who is in
Rome."
Major Joppolo did not think to
ask why tlfe daughters were in Adano and the mother in Rome; or why
Tina blushed; or why she did not
seem very anxious to talk any more
about the sleeping girls.
"Let's dance some more," she
said.
So they danced until they were
both sweating in the midsummer
heat.
It was Tina who said: "Some
fresh air, Mister Major?"
He said: "That would be a good
idea."
Tina said: "We can go right out
here."
She slipped out through wooden
shutter doors onto a narrow balcony over the dark street, and the
Major followed her.
Tina closed the shutter doors behind the Major.
The two stood against the cool iron
of the balcony railing and looked
up at the sharp stars. Tina said:
"Do you like it here?"
Major Joppolo said: "I've never
been so happy in my life."
''That seems strange," Tina said,
"when you're so far from home."
"I'm not so far from home, in a
way. Florence is almost a home
to me. My father and mother were
from a little town near Florence."
"Where are you from, in America I mean?"
"The Bronx, Tina."
"Where is that, the Bronx?"
"New York."
"The Bronx is part of New York
City?"
"Sometimes I think New York
City is part of the Bronx."
"Oh, I should love to go there.
Is the Bronx beautiful? Is it beautiful for Florentines in the Bronx?
How would it be for someone from
Adano?"
"For my Florentine parents, I
think it is beautiful, yes, it is beautiful. In Italy they were just poor
peasants, and you know it is not
very beautiful for most of the peasants here. There my father is a
waiter. He has a very good job, in
the University Club, it is a very
nice atmosphere, all the chairs are
leather like in the Palazzo and the
walls are all panelled. My mother
has a washing machine. Father has
a car. It is very beautiful for them,
I think. For me, it was not always so beautiful."
"Why not, Mister Major?"
"Well, it's hard to explain. You
see, I grew up in America. I could
see that the Bronx was not the
most beautiful place in America. I
always wanted a little more than
we had. I don't know, it's hard to
explain."
"No," said Tina, "you don't have
to explain. I know what it is to be
restless. That's why my hair is
blonde, I guess."
Major Joppolo had made up his
mind that Tina's hair was dyed.
But he didn't expect her to talk
about it.
Tina sensed his embarrassment.
"Oh, my hair is not natural, Mister
Major. I dyed it because I was not
satisfied. My dark hair was my
Bronx. Every one had d?rk hair
I wanted something different."

and a sanitary sewage disposal system. Water can be supplied under
pressure by an automatic electric
pump, and elevated tank or a hydropneumatic tank with windmill or

the home and to livestock is one of

which can be added to the farm. A

Cuccitliosis Control
Outbreaks of coccidiosis of chickens can be controlled by use of dried
milk products or of molasses if the
treatment is given early enough.
The first symptoms of coccidiosis
are loss of appetite and inclination
of the bird to stand without moving.
Four parts of dried milk can be
mixed with six parts of mash for
two days, or one pint of molasses
can be placed in five gallons of the
only accessible drinking water for
one-halt day.

enemies that call for early storage of winter woolens. The first
rule is to have clean clothing, for
the clothes moth glories in grime,
but dislikes cleanliness. Most of the
clothing probably should go t~ the
cleaners, but check all of it for
spots, stains and dust. Clean out the
pockets, give everything an energetic brushing and let the garments
waft in the spring breezes while
preparing a place to store them.
More of the dislikes of moths should
be considered in choosing a storage place. Usually a closet is the
homemaker's best bet, but only if it
is airtight, dry, cool and dark. It
should be airtight to prevent fumes
from the moth spray, flakes or balls
from escaping; dry to prevent the
growth of mildew in precious fab riCS r cool to prevent growth of
nwths; and dark to keep colors from

Udder Examination Helps
To Find Producing Ability
Dairy scientists of the department
of agriculture find that by examining the udder of a heifer calf when
she is four months old, they can get
a good idea whether she will turn
out to be a good milk producer or
not. They worked on the new method for years in the high-producing
dairy herd at Beltsville Research
center. They think that with a little
practice any farmer can learn 'o
judge heifer calves the same way.
In working out the new plan for
judging heifers, the department men
first determined, by feel, the standard or average udder development
of the calves in their herd at different ages. Then they graded all
the heifers as high, medium or
low, compared to the standard. Later they checked the grades of the
calves against the milk production
records those same animals made
as cows. They found a fairly close
match between the high, medium,
and low grades in udder develop
ment, and the high, medium, and
low milk production records.
Since the standard used in working out the judging method was
based on an especially high-producing herd, extension dairymen are
1ow teaching dairy cattle breeders in
various parts of the country how to
apply the system in their herds in
order to test the system thoroughly
before it is recommended for general use.

"How can I be a Volunteer Nurse's Aid two days a

"I prepare the food in the morning, slip the complete meal into the oven and I'm on my way.
"While I'm busy at the hospital, the automatic
timer turns on the oven ... and when I, and the rest
of th·e family get home, dinner is cooked to perfection, ready to serve.
"Believe me, I'm glad we have a modern range.

CHAPTER X-Continued.
-10That afternoon he met Captain Mac·
Caul!i'y on State street. The sight of
}{eggle's
sllm swnggering figure
hrou!&lt;'ht Philip to a quick decision. Be
!!topped directly in front of Brown,
and, as It was the first time theY'd met
RlncP. the memorable moment when
Reggie hnd been flung In the lake, they
Jool•ed embarrassedly Into each other's
eyes.
"So you decided to come home?"
asked Philip, his YOit'P sharply tonecl.
Reggie gathered together his com··
age and curled his lips. Why shoulu
he he p.frAI.c.of a_,&lt;;rlvntlon army can·

"It looks like It, d~su't It?" he
11necrecl. "And It's none of your busi·

"It's my business ahout how you
tr&lt;·nt Tony Devon," l'hil!p began, hut
Reggie's fresh outburst cut oti his
words.
"Nohody'll ever treat her any way
after this," he almost groaned. "She's
dead, drowned In the lake.''
A horrified expression passed over
Philip's face. Then he reall?.ed that
Reginald didn't know o! Tony Devon's
pre&gt;'cnce ln the Pendleha \'en home.
"She's bett-er off then than she was
tJ.te last time you saw her," be said
anc'l whirled away.
Twenti minutes later Philip was
talking to John Penrll&lt;.'ha ven.
· "You promised last night I could see
her today," he pleaded. "I'll promise
only to stay a few minutes. lllay I go
1lp?"
"No; I'll call Tony down," was the
reply. "I don't want Paul disturbed
today."
When the boy and girl stood facing
e~tch other, embanassment kept them
silent for some moments. Phil!p bar!
decided to find out whether Tony knew
or Ree;inald Brown's connection with
the Pendlehavens, although he w:J.s
po~lt!Ye in his own mind 8he dltl not.
••It's a nice day," he blurted out,
and Tonnlbel's low "yes" was her

only answer. Bow pretty she looked,
thought Philip, and how much he de·
!!Ired to kiss her as he had the other
time In the- breaking dawn on the shore
of Lake Cayuga.
''Tony," he said busklly, "don't you
-don't you-like me at all?"
Tonnibel opened her eyes to their
fullest extent. Why. hadn't she kissed
him, oh, ever 1!0 many times? No
girl would do that- She blushed and
litudled the tip of her pretty shoe.
"Don't )'OU. Tony, or It you don't,
couldn't you?" pleaded thi boy,

CHAPTER XI.
"I Love You More'n the Whole World!"

One late afternoon Philip ~IacCau­
Iey started for the Pendle!Javens', desirous of seeing Tony Devon. Knther·
lne saw hlm ~uld!ng his car up the
rondwny nnrl ran to the door to meet
him. ller smile was especially radiant,
for she had begun to lo~e her fear
about Tonnib~&gt;l's influence over him.
"Sit down, Pili!," she entreated.
"Mother's !lick toclny. Reggie almost
sets fter Into fit~';."
Philip still remalnPo stancllng.
"And you've kept a way so much,
dear boy," compialned the girl. "It
:&gt;eems you don't cn1·e for us any more."
''I do, though, bm I've !!El'"lli:iu,;y,"'
r~&gt;plled Philip, not able to think of any
other excuse.
"But you've always been buo;y, more
or less." the girl shot back. "anti yet
you came. Mother ancl I have come
to the conclusion that you couldn't
have been very much lntere~ted InItt-Cousin Paul's prote~ee.
You
haven't en'!n asl\ed ahout her.''
Philip coughed embarrassedly, then
lau,ghed.
"The fact Is, I came to see her tollay," he exclaimed.
Kntherlne went wax white.
"What do ,·ou want to see her for?"
she asked sharply.
"Oh. just to talk to her." replied
MacCauley, awkwardly.
KatherinE' shoO!{ her h('ncl.
"I don't believe you can," !=:he protested dubiously, "Cousin John won't
let any of us go up to Paul's room.
ancl she never come~; down any more."
"Where's Reggie?" demanded the
boy.
"Oh, he's gone to Trumansburg today," answered Kathcrine. ll~tlessly.
"And I am glad of it. I wish hP.'d never come back. He keep~ moth!'r in
tears most of the time he's hPre."
"And Cousin John! I want to ask
him If I cun take Miss DeYon-"
I\:atherine's head went up l.n disdain.
"I know what you want to ask him."
she Interrupted tartly.
"But yon
needn't waste your sympathy on that
Devon Girl. Bnt mamma say!:'-"
Before she could tell him her moth·
er's opinion, the door opened and Dr.
Pencllehaven walke1l ln.
"Cousin .Tolin," said Philip, abruptly,
going to him, "may I take ~IIss-:\!iss
Devon out for a little ride? I'll prom·
lse to bring her back In nn honr."
The doctor looker.! nt the boy's dark
pleading eyes, looked and tl1en
smiled.
"Perhaps you won't have 1\n) better
lurk tlum I have hntl, !'On," he an·
swered with a little laugh. "I've al·
most been down on my knees to the
child, and she absolutely refu~es."
"l\Iother's dreaclfully against her rid·
lng In our car, Cousin John," Kath·
erine cried In thin, throaty tones. "The
thQught of It makes het· sick."
"Your mother's not really sick, my
dear Kati'.E'rine," the doctor asserted.
"Ah, here she is. Katherine was just
speaking of you, my dear Sarah."
A merry twinkle came into his eyes
as he turned on his cousin.
"Xow. was she?" smirked Mr&lt;:. Curtis. "What were you saying, Kathie?"
Katherine lifted her eyes. slumbering
with passionate anger.
"That you would dislike Couslu
Paul's-I mean that girl up there-taken out for a drive;· replied Katherine.
l\lrs. Curtis caught her daughter's e:s:pression and looked at Dr. John, then
at Philip.
"Well, I should say I wouldn't like

work. My two si!&lt;ttrs are
taking the Compound upon
my recommendation and you
may publish my letter. It is
the gospel truth and I will
write to any one who wants
a personal letter. "-Mrs. E.
H. HAYDOCK, 6824 St. Lawrence Ave., 9hicago, Ill.

A Vermont woman
adds her testtmony to
the long line of those
fortunate women who
have been relltored to
h&lt;'alth by J,ydia 1~.
Pinl,bam•s Vegetable
Compound, after it had been decided an operation was necessary:
Burlington, Vt.-" I suffered with female trouble, .and had a numbe~ of
doctors who said that I would never be any better unttl I had an operation.
I was so bad I could hardly walk across the floor and could not do a thing.
My sister-in-law induced me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and it certainly has helped me wonderfully. I keep house and do my work
and have a small child. I have recommended Vegetable Compound to anumber of my friencls and you may publish my testimonial. "-Mrs. H. R. SHARON,
Apple Tree Point Farm, Burlington, Vt.
In hospitals are many women who are there for surgical operatio~s,and there
is nothing a woman dreads more than tl\e thought of an operation, and the
long weary months of recovery and restoration to strength if it is successful.
It is very true that female troubles may through neglect reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but most of the comm&lt;?ner a!lments
of women are not the surgical ones ; trey a're not caused by serwus displacements, tumors or growths, although the symptoms may appear the same.
When distul'bing ailments first appear take Lydia E. Pinkham'b Vegetable
Compound to relieve the present d1stress and prevent more serious troubles.
In fact, many letters have been received from women who have been restored
to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after operations have
been advised by attending physicians.

CHAPTER X-Continued.
-10That afternoon he met Captain Mac·
Caul!i'y on State street. The sight of
}{eggle's
sllm swnggering figure
hrou!&lt;'ht Philip to a quick decision. Be
!!topped directly in front of Brown,
and, as It was the first time theY'd met
RlncP. the memorable moment when
Reggie hnd been flung In the lake, they
Jool•ed embarrassedly Into each other's
eyes.
"So you decided to come home?"
asked Philip, his YOit'P sharply tonecl.
Reggie gathered together his com··
age and curled his lips. Why shoulu
he he p.frAI.c.of a_,&lt;;rlvntlon army can·
taln c\·en If he were rich?
"It looks like It, d~su't It?" he
11necrecl. "And It's none of your busi·
nes!'l, anyway."
"It's my business ahout how you
tr&lt;·nt Tony Devon," l'hil!p began, hut
Reggie's fresh outburst cut oti his
words.
"Nohody'll ever treat her any way
after this," he almost groaned. "She's
dead, drowned In the lake.''
A horrified expression passed over
Philip's face. Then he reall?.ed that
Reginald didn't know o! Tony Devon's
pre&gt;'cnce ln the Pendleha \'en home.
"She's bett-er off then than she was
tJ.te last time you saw her," be said
anc'l whirled away.
Twenti minutes later Philip was
talking to John Penrll&lt;.'ha ven.
· "You promised last night I could see
her today," he pleaded. "I'll promise
only to stay a few minutes. lllay I go
1lp?"
"No; I'll call Tony down," was the
reply. "I don't want Paul disturbed
today."
When the boy and girl stood facing
e~tch other, embanassment kept them
silent for some moments. Phil!p bar!
decided to find out whether Tony knew
or Ree;inald Brown's connection with
the Pendlehavens, although he w:J.s
po~lt!Ye in his own mind 8he dltl not.
••It's a nice day," he blurted out,
and Tonnlbel's low "yes" was her

"Tony, Don't You Like Me at All?"
only answer. Bow pretty she looked,
thought Philip, and how much he de·
!!Ired to kiss her as he had the other
time In the- breaking dawn on the shore
of Lake Cayuga.
''Tony," he said busklly, "don't you
-don't you-like me at all?"
Tonnibel opened her eyes to their
fullest extent. Why. hadn't she kissed
him, oh, ever 1!0 many times? No
girl would do that- She blushed and
litudled the tip of her pretty shoe.
"Don't )'OU. Tony, or It you don't,
couldn't you?" pleaded thi boy,

CHAPTER XI.
"I Love You More'n the Whole World!"

One late afternoon Philip ~IacCau­
Iey started for the Pendle!Javens', desirous of seeing Tony Devon. Knther·
lne saw hlm ~uld!ng his car up the
rondwny nnrl ran to the door to meet
him. ller smile was especially radiant,
for she had begun to lo~e her fear
about Tonnib~&gt;l's influence over him.
"Sit down, Pili!," she entreated.
"Mother's !lick toclny. Reggie almost
sets fter Into fit~';."
Philip still remalnPo stancllng.
"And you've kept a way so much,
dear boy," compialned the girl. "It
:&gt;eems you don't cn1·e for us any more."
''I do, though, bm I've !!El'"lli:iu,;y,"'
r~&gt;plled Philip, not able to think of any
other excuse.
"But you've always been buo;y, more
or less." the girl shot back. "anti yet
you came. Mother ancl I have come
to the conclusion that you couldn't
have been very much lntere~ted InItt-Cousin Paul's prote~ee.
You
haven't en'!n asl\ed ahout her.''
Philip coughed embarrassedly, then
lau,ghed.
"The fact Is, I came to see her tollay," he exclaimed.
Kntherlne went wax white.
"What do ,·ou want to see her for?"
she asked sharply.
"Oh. just to talk to her." replied
MacCauley, awkwardly.
KatherinE' shoO!{ her h('ncl.
"I don't believe you can," !=:he protested dubiously, "Cousin John won't
let any of us go up to Paul's room.
ancl she never come~; down any more."
"Where's Reggie?" demanded the
boy.
"Oh, he's gone to Trumansburg today," answered Kathcrine. ll~tlessly.
"And I am glad of it. I wish hP.'d never come back. He keep~ moth!'r in
tears most of the time he's hPre."
"And Cousin John! I want to ask
him If I cun take Miss DeYon-"
I\:atherine's head went up l.n disdain.
"I know what you want to ask him."
she Interrupted tartly.
"But yon
needn't waste your sympathy on that
Devon Girl. Bnt mamma say!:'-"
Before she could tell him her moth·
er's opinion, the door opened and Dr.
Pencllehaven walke1l ln.
"Cousin .Tolin," said Philip, abruptly,
going to him, "may I take ~IIss-:\!iss
Devon out for a little ride? I'll prom·
lse to bring her back In nn honr."
The doctor looker.! nt the boy's dark
pleading eyes, looked and tl1en
smiled.
"Perhaps you won't have 1\n) better
lurk tlum I have hntl, !'On," he an·
swered with a little laugh. "I've al·
most been down on my knees to the
child, and she absolutely refu~es."
"l\Iother's dreaclfully against her rid·
lng In our car, Cousin John," Kath·
erine cried In thin, throaty tones. "The
thQught of It makes het· sick."
"Your mother's not really sick, my
dear Kati'.E'rine," the doctor asserted.
"Ah, here she is. Katherine was just
speaking of you, my dear Sarah."
A merry twinkle came into his eyes
as he turned on his cousin.
"Xow. was she?" smirked Mr&lt;:. Curtis. "What were you saying, Kathie?"
Katherine lifted her eyes. slumbering
with passionate anger.
"That you would dislike Couslu
Paul's-I mean that girl up there-taken out for a drive;· replied Katherine.
l\lrs. Curtis caught her daughter's e:s:pression and looked at Dr. John, then
at Philip.
"Well, I should say I wouldn't like
It," she ejaculated. "There's a limit
to all things. What in the world would

How woMEN AVOID
SURGICAL OPERATIONS
Some Are Extremely Necessary, Others May Not Be
Every Woman Should Give Lydia. E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a Trial First
Chicago.lll.-"1 was in
bedwi th a female trouble and
inflammation and had four
doctors but none of them did
mE&gt; nny·good. They all said I
would have to have an operation. A druggist's wife told
me to take Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound
and I took 22 bottles, never
missing a dose and at the E-nd
of that time I was perfectly
well. I have never had occasion to take it again as I
havP. been so well. I have a
six room flat and do all my
work. My two si!&lt;ttrs are
taking the Compound upon
my recommendation and you
may publish my letter. It is
the gospel truth and I will
write to any one who wants
a personal letter. "-Mrs. E.
H. HAYDOCK, 6824 St. Lawrence Ave., 9hicago, Ill.

A Vermont woman
adds her testtmony to
the long line of those
fortunate women who
have been relltored to
h&lt;'alth by J,ydia 1~.
Pinl,bam•s Vegetable
Compound, after it had been decided an operation was necessary:
Burlington, Vt.-" I suffered with female trouble, .and had a numbe~ of
doctors who said that I would never be any better unttl I had an operation.
I was so bad I could hardly walk across the floor and could not do a thing.
My sister-in-law induced me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and it certainly has helped me wonderfully. I keep house and do my work
and have a small child. I have recommended Vegetable Compound to anumber of my friencls and you may publish my testimonial. "-Mrs. H. R. SHARON,
Apple Tree Point Farm, Burlington, Vt.
In hospitals are many women who are there for surgical operatio~s,and there
is nothing a woman dreads more than tl\e thought of an operation, and the
long weary months of recovery and restoration to strength if it is successful.
It is very true that female troubles may through neglect reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but most of the comm&lt;?ner a!lments
of women are not the surgical ones ; trey a're not caused by serwus displacements, tumors or growths, although the symptoms may appear the same.
When distul'bing ailments first appear take Lydia E. Pinkham'b Vegetable
Compound to relieve the present d1stress and prevent more serious troubles.
In fact, many letters have been received from women who have been restored
to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after operations have
been advised by attending physicians.

their real thoughts on this subject
pretty much to tltemRelves, but it cu.n
llle saicl. in view of the manifestations
ot. Russians and some other activities
in the "Cnited Stutes, that there is
some fear in the capital that ultimately the Russians and the Germans, people represPnting_ two extremely powerful nations, notwithstanding the effects of the great war, may agree to
act together in other than merely economic mutters.
This admittedly is taking a long shot
at the future and nothing ever may
happen to justify some of the presentday fe.ars, but. nevertheless, it is recognlzf&gt;d in some quartf&gt;rR in the capital
that in a measure justification Is found
in the recent action of the Get·mans
and Hussians for the suspicion of
France that tlauger lay in the future,
and for the Insistence of that country
on its right to maintain an adequate
army.

Ramsey was one or those who heard
this exclamation, later so famous, and
perhaps It was what roused him to
heroism. He dived !rom the bank,
:headlong, and the strange thought in

Ot M111a he spoke unwittingly the
.Uteral truth. Even with her hair thus
'wnd and sodden, Milia rose from lm.meralon blushing and prettier than
1ever; and she was prettiest of all
,owhen she stretched out her hand helplessly to Ramsey and he led her up
out of tile waters. They had plenty of
assistance to scramble to the top of
the hank, and there Milia was surrounded and borne away with a great
ela&lt;'ketlng and tumult. Ham!&gt;ey sat
upon the grass In the sun, rubbed his
bead, and experimented with his neck
to see lt It would "work." The sunshine was strong and hot; ln half an

at least "dry enough," as he !laid, and

Mllla at the pastoral meal. She herf:elf uuder"tood It, evidently, for ~;he
drew In her JlUCkered skirts and with·
out any words mnde a place for him
beside her as he driftingly approached
her, affertlng to whistle and keeping
his eyes on the foliage overhrad. He
still looked upward, even In the act of
sitting down.
"Squirrel or ~&lt;omethlng," he said
feebly, as 1r In explanation.
"Where?" Milia llf'ked.
."Up there on a branch." He accepted a pl~tte from her (she had provided herself with an extra one), but
he did not look at lt or at her. He
continued to keep his eyes aloft, because be Imagined that all of the class
were looking at him and Milia, and
he felt unable t1&gt; meet such publicity.
It was to him as If the whole United

beside Milia; he gazed upwanl so long
that his eye-balls became sensitive under the strain. He began to blink. "I
c~'t make out whether It's a squirrel
or just some leaves that kind o' got

there's a breeze, If It's a squirrel he'll

It bad begun to seem that his eyes
must remain flxed In that upward
stare forever; he wanted to bring them
down, hut could not face the glare of
the world. But finally the brightness
of the sky between the leaves settled
matters for him; he sneezed, wept, and

for a little moment again faced his
fellowmen. No one was looking at
him; everybody except Milia had other
things to do.
Having sneezed Involuntarily, he
added a spell of coughing for which
there was no necessity. "I guess I
must been wrong," he muttered tllickly.
"What about, Ramsey?"
".A.bout it's beln' a squirrel." With
Infinite timidity he turned his bead

he dropped a "drumst!ct" or. fried
chicken, well dotted with ants, from
his plate. Scarlet he picked It up, but
did not eat it. For the first time In
his life he felt that eating fried chicken held In the fingers was not to be
thought of. He replaced the "drumstick" upon his plate and allowed It
to remain there untouched, in spite of
a great hunger for It.
Having looked down, he now tound

steadily at his plate, and Into this
limited circle of vision came Milia's
delicate and rosy fingers, bearing a
gift. "There," she said In a motherly
little voice. ''It's a. tomato mayonnaise
sandwich and I made It myself. I
want you to eat It, Ramsey."
His own fingers approachl'd tremulousness as he accepted the thick sandwich from her and conveyed It to his
mouth. .A. moment later his soul filled
with horror, for a spurt of mayonnaise
dressing had caused a catastrophe the
scene of which occupied no Inconsiderable area of' his right cheek, which
was the cheek toward Milia. He
groped wretchedly for his handkerchief but could not find It; he had lost

he was ruined.
In his anguish he felt n paper napkin pressed ~ently Into his band; a
soft voice said In his ear, "Wipe It off

At What Age Should You Take
Needless Risks With Your Health?

The Federal Bureau of Education says in
its rules for the health of school children that
children shauld not drink coffee or tea.
This rule is based on the welllmown fact that the drug element in coffee and tea whips up
the nerves, and that serious ills
often follow.
If it's a g~ rule for children
to keep away from the harm of
nerve-stimulation, isn't it a good
rule for everybody?

Think it over.
Granted that your body may
stand more, can your judgment
afford to risk more? Any doctor

can tell you what coffee and tea
often do to the health of adults
as well as children.
There's no sacrifice in being
safe. Postum is a delightful.
satisfying mealtime beverage~
wholesome and pleasant alike
for adults and children. Postum
has no age limits!
Your grocer has both forms of Postum:
Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in tb&amp;
cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum.
Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for thos&amp;
who prefer to make the drink while the meal
is being prepared) made by boiling for fully
20 minutes.

MACK M. LANE, P. M.
LOCAL DAYLIGHT SAVING LAWS.

Numerous inquiries have been received by the department relative to
the adoption of state laws and city or
town ordinances e-overning daylight
saving. Inasmuch a8 it is impracticable for the department to issue umform
and positive instructiens on account of
the varying conditions in different sections of the country, thi~ matter will
be left to the discretion of postmasters
as they have full knowledge of loc&gt;tl
conditions .
Schedules of employees must be arranged and maintained so as to insure
th e most expeditiouR dispatch and d·~­

their real thoughts on this subject
pretty much to tltemRelves, but it cu.n
llle saicl. in view of the manifestations

in the "Cnited Stutes, that there is
some fear in the capital that ultimately the Russians and the Germans, people represPnting_ two extremely powerful nations, notwithstanding the effects of the great war, may agree to
act together in other than merely economic mutters.
This admittedly is taking a long shot
at the future and nothing ever may
happen to justify some of the presentday fe.ars, but. nevertheless, it is recognlzf&gt;d in some quartf&gt;rR in the capital
that in a measure justification Is found
in the recent action of the Get·mans

France that tlauger lay in the future,
and for the Insistence of that country
on its right to maintain an adequate

Ramsey was one or those who heard

perhaps It was what roused him to
heroism. He dived !rom the bank,

Ot M111a he spoke unwittingly the
.Uteral truth. Even with her hair thus
'wnd and sodden, Milia rose from lm.meralon blushing and prettier than
1ever; and she was prettiest of all
,owhen she stretched out her hand helplessly to Ramsey and he led her up
out of tile waters. They had plenty of
assistance to scramble to the top of
the hank, and there Milia was surrounded and borne away with a great
ela&lt;'ketlng and tumult. Ham!&gt;ey sat
upon the grass In the sun, rubbed his
bead, and experimented with his neck
to see lt It would "work." The sunshine was strong and hot; ln half an

beside her as he driftingly approached
her, affertlng to whistle and keeping
his eyes on the foliage overhrad. He
still looked upward, even In the act of
sitting down.
"Squirrel or ~&lt;omethlng," he said
feebly, as 1r In explanation.
"Where?" Milia llf'ked.
."Up there on a branch." He accepted a pl~tte from her (she had provided herself with an extra one), but
he did not look at lt or at her. He
continued to keep his eyes aloft, because be Imagined that all of the class
were looking at him and Milia, and
he felt unable t1&gt; meet such publicity.
It was to him as If the whole United

that his eye-balls became sensitive under the strain. He began to blink. "I

there's a breeze, If It's a squirrel he'll

It bad begun to seem that his eyes
must remain flxed In that upward
stare forever; he wanted to bring them
down, hut could not face the glare of
the world. But finally the brightness
of the sky between the leaves settled
matters for him; he sneezed, wept, and

for a little moment again faced his
fellowmen. No one was looking at
him; everybody except Milia had other
things to do.
Having sneezed Involuntarily, he
added a spell of coughing for which
there was no necessity. "I guess I
must been wrong," he muttered tllickly.
"What about, Ramsey?"
".A.bout it's beln' a squirrel." With
Infinite timidity he turned his bead

he dropped a "drumst!ct" or. fried
chicken, well dotted with ants, from
his plate. Scarlet he picked It up, but
did not eat it. For the first time In
his life he felt that eating fried chicken held In the fingers was not to be
thought of. He replaced the "drumstick" upon his plate and allowed It
to remain there untouched, in spite of
a great hunger for It.
Having looked down, he now tound

steadily at his plate, and Into this
limited circle of vision came Milia's
delicate and rosy fingers, bearing a
gift. "There," she said In a motherly
little voice. ''It's a. tomato mayonnaise
sandwich and I made It myself. I
want you to eat It, Ramsey."
His own fingers approachl'd tremulousness as he accepted the thick sandwich from her and conveyed It to his
mouth. .A. moment later his soul filled
with horror, for a spurt of mayonnaise
dressing had caused a catastrophe the
scene of which occupied no Inconsiderable area of' his right cheek, which
was the cheek toward Milia. He
groped wretchedly for his handkerchief but could not find It; he had lost
it. Sudden death would have been relief; he was sure that after such grotesquerie l\IIJla could never bear to

he was ruined.
In his anguish he felt n paper napkin pressed ~ently Into his band; a
soft voice said In his ear, "Wipe It off

So this incredibly charitable creature
was still able to be his friend, even
after Sf'elng him mayonnalsed I HumhJy marveling, he did as she told him,

nothing more.
He sighed his first sigh of tnerpresslbleness, had a chill or so along the

At What Age Should You Take
Needless Risks With Your Health?

Like

Inner.5elf,

Avre.hvs

The Federal Bureau of Education says in
its rules for the health of school children that
children shauld not drink coffee or tea.
This rule is based on the welllmown fact that the drug element in coffee and tea whips up
the nerves, and that serious ills
often follow.
If it's a g~ rule for children
to keep away from the harm of
nerve-stimulation, isn't it a good
rule for everybody?

Think it over.
Granted that your body may
stand more, can your judgment
afford to risk more? Any doctor

can tell you what coffee and tea
often do to the health of adults
as well as children.
There's no sacrifice in being
safe. Postum is a delightful.
satisfying mealtime beverage~
wholesome and pleasant alike
for adults and children. Postum
has no age limits!
Your grocer has both forms of Postum:
Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in tb&amp;
cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum.
Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for thos&amp;
who prefer to make the drink while the meal
is being prepared) made by boiling for fully
20 minutes.

I refer to the following notice
received from Washington:
MACK M. LANE, P. M.
LOCAL DAYLIGHT SAVING LAWS.
First Asst. Postmaster General,
Washington, May 1, 1922.
Numerous inquiries have been received by the department relative to
the adoption of state laws and city or
town ordinances e-overning daylight
saving. Inasmuch a8 it is impracticable for the department to issue umform
and positive instructiens on account of
the varying conditions in different sections of the country, thi~ matter will
be left to the discretion of postmasters
as they have full knowledge of loc&gt;tl
conditions .
Schedules of employees must be arranged and maintained so as to insure
th e most expeditiouR dispatch and d·~­
livery of the mails, and, when necessary to attain this end, 1 he srheduleM

Special efforts to prevent the European corn borer from spreading to
the corn belt, which It now threatens
to &lt;lo from the southern shore of
Lake Erie, will be made this season
by the United States Department of.
Agriculture. The must important single measure will be the rigid enforcement of federal quarantine regulations
by the fe&lt;lernl horticultural bourd of
the department, in co-operation with
the Cnnnclian government nu&lt;J tbe vnJ'Ious states \\'here the pest now exists. This will prevent other infestations of the insect from coming into
the United States an&lt;l will go u long
way toward keeping the borer fJ•mu
being carried to other parts of tbe
country.
•
'l'he bureau of entomology of the
department has prepa1·el1 its plans for
Investigating the insect, which was
discov€'red in this country during Hll7,
with a view to applyiug and mnpllfying
methods of controlling it. The sli~;ht
infestations aloug the Juke shore, It Is
believed, will not ~ause serlou!'l injury
to corn there immecliately, giving ample time for a careful study of the insect and its behavior in this new envil·onml'nt before actual cornmerC"ial
&lt;lamage is clone. For this purpose the
bureau will establish immediately a
number o£ entomologi:sts at Sandusky,
Ohio.
May Have Come From Canada.

The infestation on Lake Erie, it is
believe!l, originated in tile province
of Ontario, Canada, w11ere a severe infestatlon has been present for several
years. Favorable winds during the
flight season of the moth in the summer of Hl21 are supposeu to hav:J"
compelled the adult insects to fly
across the lake to the American sl&lt;le,

LITTLE grief, and much of joy
l\Im·ks every day.
A wealth of love without alloy,
Along life's 1\·ay.
A little toll, a llttle pai::J.,
The glint of sun, t11e welcome rain,
And then comes night.
A peaceful rest at set of sun,
A welcome home when work Is done,
And life's nil right.
A time to meet, a time to part;
Frien&lt;ls rmne and go.
Hand clasping hnn&lt;l, heart beats to
heart,
Comes joy, comes woe.
The radiant light of clear blue skies,
The weleome gleam of children's f:yes,.
1\Iake henrts grow light.
A battle won for thosl' loved best,
And troubles faced with merry jest,
And life's all right.

The prediction was accurate. The
too fatherly "frat seniors" rlld all that
Fred said they would, and more. For
the honor of the "frat," they coached
the desperate Ram~ey In the technic
of Lumen debate, told him many more
things to say than could he said In
six minutes, and produced him, despairing, ghastly and bedewed, In the
large hnll of the Lumen society nt
eight o'clock on Friday evening.
Four other "twelve-minute debates"
preceded his and the sound of these,
In Ramsey's ears, was the sound of
Gabriel practising on his horn In the
early morning of Judgment day. The
members of the society sat, three rows
deep, along the walls of the room,
leaving n clear oblong of green carpet In the center, where were two
small desks, twenty feet apart. the
rostrums of the debaters. Upon a
platform at the head of the room sat
dreadful seniors, the officers of the
society, and, upon benches near the
platform, the debaters of the evening
were aligned. One of the fraternal
seniors sat with sweltering Ramsey ;
and the Iutter, as his time relentlessly
came nearer, made a lnst miserable
SQUirm.
"Look here, Brother Colburn, I got
to get out o' here."
"No, you don't, young fellow."
"Yes, I do I" Ramsey whispered, pns•lonntely.
"Honest, I do.
Honest,
Brother Colburn, I got to get n drink
of water. I got to I"
"No. You can't."
"Honest, Colburn, I got~"
"Bush!"
Ramsey cast his dilating eyes along
the rows of faces. l\lost of them were
but as blurs, swimming, yet he was
aware (he thought) of a formidable
and horrible impassive scrutiny of
fl!mself, a glare seeming to pierce
through him to the back of the belt
round his waist, so that he began to
bave fearful doubts about that belt,
about every fastening nnrl adjustment
of his garments, about the exp1·e~sion
of his countenance. nnd many other
thlng!'l jumbling together iu his contclousness. Over und o\·er he whispered gaspingly to himself the openlog words or the senten ~.:e with which
t senior had advised him 10 begin his

Special efforts to prevent the European corn borer from spreading to
the corn belt, which It now threatens
to &lt;lo from the southern shore of
Lake Erie, will be made this season
by the United States Department of.
Agriculture. The must important single measure will be the rigid enforcement of federal quarantine regulations
by the fe&lt;lernl horticultural bourd of
the department, in co-operation with
the Cnnnclian government nu&lt;J tbe vnJ'Ious states \\'here the pest now exists. This will prevent other infestations of the insect from coming into
the United States an&lt;l will go u long
way toward keeping the borer fJ•mu
being carried to other parts of tbe
country.
•
'l'he bureau of entomology of the
department has prepa1·el1 its plans for
Investigating the insect, which was
discov€'red in this country during Hll7,
with a view to applyiug and mnpllfying
methods of controlling it. The sli~;ht
infestations aloug the Juke shore, It Is
believed, will not ~ause serlou!'l injury
to corn there immecliately, giving ample time for a careful study of the insect and its behavior in this new envil·onml'nt before actual cornmerC"ial

bureau will establish immediately a
number o£ entomologi:sts at Sandusky,

The infestation on Lake Erie, it is
believe!l, originated in tile province
of Ontario, Canada, w11ere a severe infestatlon has been present for several
years. Favorable winds during the

A wealth of love without alloy,
Along life's 1\·ay.
A little toll, a llttle pai::J.,
The glint of sun, t11e welcome rain,
And then comes night.
A peaceful rest at set of sun,
A welcome home when work Is done,
And life's nil right.
A time to meet, a time to part;
Frien&lt;ls rmne and go.
Hand clasping hnn&lt;l, heart beats to

Comes joy, comes woe.
The radiant light of clear blue skies,
The weleome gleam of children's f:yes,.

A battle won for thosl' loved best,
And troubles faced with merry jest,
And life's all right.

The prediction was accurate. The
too fatherly "frat seniors" rlld all that
Fred said they would, and more. For
the honor of the "frat," they coached
the desperate Ram~ey In the technic
of Lumen debate, told him many more
things to say than could he said In
six minutes, and produced him, despairing, ghastly and bedewed, In the
large hnll of the Lumen society nt
eight o'clock on Friday evening.
Four other "twelve-minute debates"
preceded his and the sound of these,
In Ramsey's ears, was the sound of
Gabriel practising on his horn In the
early morning of Judgment day. The
members of the society sat, three rows
deep, along the walls of the room,
leaving n clear oblong of green carpet In the center, where were two
small desks, twenty feet apart. the
rostrums of the debaters. Upon a
platform at the head of the room sat
dreadful seniors, the officers of the
society, and, upon benches near the
platform, the debaters of the evening
were aligned. One of the fraternal
seniors sat with sweltering Ramsey ;
and the Iutter, as his time relentlessly
came nearer, made a lnst miserable
SQUirm.
"Look here, Brother Colburn, I got
to get out o' here."
"No, you don't, young fellow."
"Yes, I do I" Ramsey whispered, pns•lonntely.
"Honest, I do.
Honest,
Brother Colburn, I got to get n drink
of water. I got to I"
"No. You can't."
"Honest, Colburn, I got~"
"Bush!"
Ramsey cast his dilating eyes along
the rows of faces. l\lost of them were
but as blurs, swimming, yet he was
aware (he thought) of a formidable
and horrible impassive scrutiny of
fl!mself, a glare seeming to pierce
through him to the back of the belt
round his waist, so that he began to
bave fearful doubts about that belt,
about every fastening nnrl adjustment
of his garments, about the exp1·e~sion
of his countenance. nnd many other
thlng!'l jumbling together iu his contclousness. Over und o\·er he whispered gaspingly to himself the openlog words or the senten ~.:e with which
t senior had advised him 10 begin his

preme agony drew close, thl!'! whi~per­

the hall bPing filled to its utmost

Rerurn unto thy rest, 0 my soul; for the Lord hath
dealt bountifully with thee. lt'or thou hast deliv.. red my
wul from death, mine eyee from tears, and my feet from
falling. -Psalms 116 : 7, 8.
Return unto thy rest. At last, my soul,
War's clamors cease. the path of duty run,
The night is past, and . now the rising snn
£miles on thy rest.

Return unto thy rest; from that deep sleep
Which fear calls death, God hath delivered thee.
Not weak and faint. but upright, str~. and free,
Take thou thy rest.
Return unto thy rest, 0 soul, in peace,
And gaze not backward at the weal'y years.
Thou hast delivered mine eyes, 0 God, from tears;
· Sweet is my rest.

Wedne11day evening occured the sec-J
ond baud concert of the season. U nlika last week, the weather wa~ warm
and nearly ev•rybody wa1 out.
The business places were 11.11 open,
and everything took on a gala appearance. The band rendered some very
fine selection&amp;.
Sidney Johnson, the
band leader, and anot'ber yoanll' mlln,
whom we cannot learn the name,
played a duett, which was very much
appreciated by the people, as they
called them back.
There wero so many cars in town
that there was scarcely an available
place to park another car In the busine.. sect ion.
Next Wednet~day evening some of
our enterpriain&amp;' bueiness pcop.Je will
hav• on sale 1orne special bargains.
The band cone erts promise to he a
very entertaining affair during tht&gt;

will range from 23 to 35 cents an hour.
It was signed by the three public

memhers signed a dissenting opinion,
holfllng that the new pay does not
constitute the "just and reasonable"
wages guaranteed under the transportation net, and that In fact it does not
repreRent a living wage. The majority report, however, points out that
common lnhor on railways, even nfter
the reduction, w111 be better paid than
similar labor In most other Industries.
Edward H. Fitzgerald, president of
the railway clerks' organization, took

They nrcuse twenty-two roads of violating the transportation art by letting out shop work to contraC'tors not

their president, B. 1\l. Jewell, has demanded that the board assume jurisf!idlon in these cases and compel the
railroads to restore condi tlons in effect previous to the alleged violations.
He said that unless this we1·e done

tum of the allied reparation commission was near enough to complete
ucceptanre to satisfy that body, which,
after a day's intensive study of the
note, telegraphed to Berlin Its approval of the German promises to balance the budget and to stop the Issue
of paper money. The commission then
turned over to the committee of lnternntional banlters In session In Paris
the entire question of German finances
and payment of reparations. Those
banlters, among whom is J. Pierpont
1\lorgRn of the United States, are now
studying tile questions of Germany's
capacity to pay, the guarantees she
can give for the series of huge loans
that will be .1\.ecessory, and, ln\connection with the latter, the possibilities
Involved In the Russo-German pact.
The German proposals were drawn
Ul&gt; by Finance Minister Hermes and
are not at all liked by some other
members of the Wirth cabinet and
many members cf the relchstng. The
Stlnnes group especially attacked
them as a surrender of sovereignty
that will bring on catastrophe. The
reichstag refused to pass a vote or
lack of confidence In the government,
but the rablnet Is believed to be In a
shaky condition.
Lloyd George made a statement on
reparations in the house of commons

Germany would be granted reductions,
postponements and revisions when
these appeared necessary, and this
was greeted with cheers. France,
naturally, is not pleased with developments. but Is not In position to object

until January 1 next, many of the Republican leaders are opposed to this

almost identical with the bill passed

The soil of the h;;!and bill on which
the cabin stnnds seemingly is poor, hnt
from it the wiJd flowers spring readily
and the trees rise sturdily, tinrllng
foothold and sustenance where both
seem lmpos~lble. The birds und several species of mammals have claimed
the place for their own, but they have
shown no resentm~nt of the Intrusion
of the few persons who on .occuslon
seek out the spot, for the human vis!'

forms of the wild life.
You tramp along a smooth highway
to rearh the base of the hill on which
the cabin 11tands. It is a fine walk,
bordered with the things which nature
gives to man In the hope that he will
show nppreclatlon; and she gives them
year after year, nothing dlsrountenanced by the fact that only one man

Almost at the outset of the walk

SCIENCE ON FARM
Agriculturist of Today Must
Know Business Thoroughly.
Canadian Tillers of the Soil Have•
Proved That Old Days of Haphazard Methods Have Gone.
.Agriculture In Canada has the etatus of u profession which both its high
standard of operation and the prime
place lt occupies In nutlonul life justi•
fy. The days "hen lantl was cnsuully
tiled on and farmed without any In·
telligent uuderstandlug of ugrlculturnl
processes ut·e going with the tlwlndllng
availability of tbe land, and rupldl.y
passing is the epoch of the destruction or soil values, and the abandonment ot farms which have been rendered unproductive. Clearer and clear·
er has become the realization that
farming is n specialized profession requlr!ng special training, and in the
place of this spoUatlon there Is an
lntelllgent system of crop rotation,
preservation of the virtue or the land,
a discovery of the noblllty of the
farmer's calling and a determination
to secure and achieve the best vossible In everything,
The Education of the Farmer.
.Agricul_tural colleges, experimental
farms, government lteratur~. railway
propaganda, all in au apprelclatlon ot
the national benefits which accrue,
contribute to the education of tl•e
farmer who, lt he starts out In !gooranee, speedlly discovers the futility
and protltlessness of continuing In
this state. It 1s only ot comparatively
recent years that farming In Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex·
haustlve study lt is and Its tenets
been so widely absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems aclentlflcully unsound are gradually forced from necesBltY Into nn intelligent study and application of their profession.·
This brings us to the city man who
Is anxious to len...-e his old life for the
greater freeuom of the country and
take a farm for ltlmsell', and, the toregoing holding good, he need not follow
far behind the older farmer lf he take
up the study of his worlc seriously,
bring energy and Intelligence to bear
upon n following out of the systema
of experienced and successful agriculturists, and utilize the results of the
expert tnve~tf11:at1on and research the
Dominion places at his disposal. The
whole country is working for hlu and
the novice has almost an equal OP·
portunlty with the farmer ot a lifetime.
A census o:t Canadian farmers would
probably show that fully one-halt are

thought seems to be " let us get rid of

"PEACH OF A PUNCH."
8ynopata.-With his grandfather,
small Ramsey Milholland Is wu.tchtn.r the "Decoration Day Parade"
in the home town. The old gentleman, a veteran of the Civil war,
endeavors to Impress tho: youn~­
ater with the slgnltlcance or the
great conflict, and many years afterward the boy was to remember
hi• words with startling vividness.
In the schoolroom, a few yearH
&amp;rtf'rwa.rd, Ram,ey Is not dLqtJngulshed tor 1·ema.rkabie u.IJility,
though hla pronounced dislikes are
arithmetic, "Reel tallona" and German. In aharp contrast to narneey'a backwardness is the precocity
or little Dora. Yocum, a young lady
whom In his t.ltterneas he denominates "Teacher's Pet." In high
achool, where he and Dora. are
classmates, Ramsey con tlnues to
reel that the girl delights to manifest her superiority, and the vindictiveness he generates becomes
alarming, culmlnallng In the resolution that some day he will
"show" her. At a class picnic Ramsey II captured bag and ba~gage
by Milia. Rust, the class beauty,
and endures the agoniPs o! his t\rst
love. Ramsey's parents object to
Milia and wish he'd taken up with
Dora Yocum. Ramsey kisses Millo..
Then Mllla. suddenly leaves town.
She marries. Rams~y ~ntHs the

Yocum again. R:l.m•ey meets Dora

was from the rear row of seats along
tlle wall, where sat new meutllers of
the society, freshmen not Ut&gt;on the
program of the evening. A loud nasal
voice was henrd from this quarter, a
loud but nasal voice. shrill as well as
nasal, and full of a strange hot passion. "Mr. Chairman!" It crier\. "Looka-here, Mr. Chairman I Mr. Chairman,

everyone else looked there. A short,
strong figure was on Its feet, gesticulating fiercely; and the head belnnglng
to it was a large one with too much
curly black hair, a flat swarthy face,
shiny and not Immaculately shaven;
there was an impression of lll-cltosen
clothes, too much fat red lip, too much
tooth, too m•1ch eyeball. Fred 1111tchell

The outraged cllalrman \\'OS wholly

to pound upon the desk, while other

He had more than that, before the

emerged from the building and came
out, still hot, upon the cool, dark
campus, he found himself the center
of a group of his own classmates

To do any kind of work, or to play for

are suffering from some form of female
trouble. It may cause your back or your
legs to ache, it may make you nervous
and irritable. Yoa may be able to keep
up and around, but you do not feel good.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )

The Insects which att.'lck the potato
and the eggplant injure the tomato to
a less extent, and tomatoes suffer
greatly from pests.
Tomato Hornworms.
The tomato hornworms are large
green worms, sometimes called tomato
worms or tobacco worms, as thPy fePd
about equally well on both plants.
They are the lanae; or young, of
large sphinx moths of two specl~s.
which are very similar In habits and
distribution.
These Insects produce
two broods, and when they begin t•'
mature they cut all the leaves from
tomato plants. Growers should 1be on
the lookout for the first as well as the
second brood. They appear at various times, according to the locality.
Controi.-IIand picking can be
practiced, but It tokes an experienced
eye to detect these worms when theY,
are at rest. When feeding they are
more easily sePn and can be destroyed
readily. A single application of lead
arsenate at the usual rate will destroy them even thougll crudely applied.
Those which eat the poison
first will be found dead the follo,ving
day. The remulnder will be found on
the second or third day.

It attracts the worms, leaving the to·

The False and the True.
Advertising by the use of large space, the expenditure al huge sums
of money have placed on the market, have put in your home, perhaps,
many articles that today have been discarded, as you will readily admit.
Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to the
public than has Fletcher's Castoria: modest in all its claims, pleadinc·
at all times-and truthfully-for our babies?
The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but
the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the old story of the tortoise
that beat the hare.
Mothers everywhe;re, and their daughters, now mothers, speak
frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher's Castoria.
Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and
smiles to their little-one.
To them: to these true mothers no argument can induce them
to set aside their bottle of Castoria, their old friend, that they might
try even another and unknown remedy for babies. Then, would YOU
think of going to YOUR OWN medicine chest to find relief for Baby's
troubles? Can you not separate the false from the true?

MISSION FESTIVAL
Trinity E-.-. Lutheran church
will celebrate its annual m1esion
festival next Sunda_v at the
Crete Park.
The morning service will begin
at 10 o'clock (standard time).
The Rev. Chr. Braunig o~ Buckley. Ill., will speak in the german language. In the afternoon
service, the Rev. E. A. Br·auer
of Roselle, Ill., will deliver an
address in the English language.
The Crete Band
accompany the chorals and furnish
music for our entertainment.
Our Lord commands: "Go ye
into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature."
Me 16:15. "Go," says he, and
his disciples go willing-ly and
gladly; "Go into all the world."
and his disciples rest not until
their voice reaches 'the uttermost ends of the world. ''Preach
the gospel." and true christians
will neither add nor omit a single
truth.
Thousands of years have since
gone by.
Much has been done;
still there are millions who are
yet worshiping idols, or who are
but nominal christians.
Accordina- to statistics there
are about 42 million church
members in the United States,
out of a total population of more
than 105 millions. Eleven million children of school ag-e receive no religious instruction
whatever, and of the young people under the age of 25, there
are 26,851,000 without any church'
affiliation.
Are you doing your
duty? Do you know the real
meaning of the prayer: "Thy
kingdom come"?
A mission text of our Savior's
recorded in Matth. 9, 38 has
these three parts:
1. The harvest truly is plen·teous.
2. The laborers are few.
3. Pray ye therfor the Lord.

Rerurn unto thy rest, 0 my soul; for the Lord hath
dealt bountifully with thee. lt'or thou hast deliv.. red my
wul from death, mine eyee from tears, and my feet from
falling. -Psalms 116 : 7, 8.
Return unto thy rest. At last, my soul,
War's clamors cease. the path of duty run,
The night is past, and . now the rising snn
£miles on thy rest.

Return unto thy rest; from that deep sleep
Which fear calls death, God hath delivered thee.
Not weak and faint. but upright, str~. and free,
Take thou thy rest.
Return unto thy rest, 0 soul, in peace,
And gaze not backward at the weal'y years.
Thou hast delivered mine eyes, 0 God, from tears;
· Sweet is my rest.

Wedne11day evening occured the sec-J
ond baud concert of the season. U nlika last week, the weather wa~ warm
and nearly ev•rybody wa1 out.
The business places were 11.11 open,
and everything took on a gala appearance. The band rendered some very
fine selection&amp;.
Sidney Johnson, the
band leader, and anot'ber yoanll' mlln,
whom we cannot learn the name,
played a duett, which was very much
appreciated by the people, as they
called them back.
There wero so many cars in town
that there was scarcely an available
place to park another car In the busine.. sect ion.
Next Wednet~day evening some of
our enterpriain&amp;' bueiness pcop.Je will

the board has made puhllc one decision cutting nearly $50,000,000 from
the annual wages of the maiiitenance
of way men, and . betore this reaches
the render It is almost certain another
decision will have bE&gt;en published
slashing between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 from the yearly pay of the
shopmen. Either ruling Is sufficient

men, effective July 1. It affects about
400.000 workers, Rnd their new wages
will range from 23 to 35 cents an hour.
It was signed by the three public
members and th.e three raHway mem.
bers of the board. The three labor
memhers signed a dissenting opinion,
holfllng that the new pay does not
constitute the "just and reasonable"
wages guaranteed under the transportation net, and that In fact it does not
repreRent a living wage. The majority report, however, points out that
common lnhor on railways, even nfter
the reduction, w111 be better paid than
similar labor In most other Industries.
Edward H. Fitzgerald, president of
the railway clerks' organization, took
the lead In planning for the prospective strike, Inviting sixteen chiefs of
rail unions to meet this week In Cincinnati. He was forestalling an expected decision by the federal board

Is a possibility that this ronference

mtnerR. Such a compact really was
formed several months ago. but fail ed
to provide for aggressive nctlon unlesf: each step was approved by referendums of the various organlzntlons
Involved. This lack may be supplied
at the Cincinnati meeting.
The six federated shop crafts are
conC'erned not only in wage reduction.
They nrcuse twenty-two roads of violating the transportation art by letting out shop work to contraC'tors not
within the board's jurisdiction, and
their president, B. 1\l. Jewell, has demanded that the board assume jurisf!idlon in these cases and compel the
railroads to restore condi tlons in effect previous to the alleged violations.
He said that unless this we1·e done
strike ballots would be sent out, regardless of the wage Issue. The board
al~ead~· has :o;hown that it sympathizes
with the attitude of the shopmen In
this matter.

tum of the allied reparation commission was near enough to complete
ucceptanre to satisfy that body, which,
after a day's intensive study of the
note, telegraphed to Berlin Its approval of the German promises to balance the budget and to stop the Issue
of paper money. The commission then
turned over to the committee of lnternntional banlters In session In Paris
the entire question of German finances
and payment of reparations. Those
banlters, among whom is J. Pierpont
1\lorgRn of the United States, are now
studying tile questions of Germany's
capacity to pay, the guarantees she
can give for the series of huge loans
that will be .1\.ecessory, and, ln\connection with the latter, the possibilities
Involved In the Russo-German pact.
The German proposals were drawn
Ul&gt; by Finance Minister Hermes and
are not at all liked by some other
members of the Wirth cabinet and
many members cf the relchstng. The
Stlnnes group especially attacked
them as a surrender of sovereignty
that will bring on catastrophe. The
reichstag refused to pass a vote or
lack of confidence In the government,
but the rablnet Is believed to be In a
shaky condition.
Lloyd George made a statement on
reparations in the house of commons
In which he strongly Intimated that
Germany would be granted reductions,
postponements and revisions when
these appeared necessary, and this
was greeted with cheers. France,
naturally, is not pleased with developments. but Is not In position to object
strenuously.

long enough to pass the bonus bill, but
us the latter does not go into effect
until January 1 next, many of the Republican leaders are opposed to this
idea. The Democrats will support
l\IC'f'umher's plan for Immediate consideration of the bonus. The blll as
approved by the finance commit~ee Is
almost identical with the bill passed
by the house. The Democrats are not
satisfied with It, and Senat~r Smoot

"PEACH OF A PUNCH."
8ynopata.-With his grandfather,
small Ramsey Milholland Is wu.tchtn.r the "Decoration Day Parade"
in the home town. The old gentleman, a veteran of the Civil war,
endeavors to Impress tho: youn~­
ater with the slgnltlcance or the
great conflict, and many years afterward the boy was to remember
hi• words with startling vividness.
In the schoolroom, a few yearH
&amp;rtf'rwa.rd, Ram,ey Is not dLqtJngulshed tor 1·ema.rkabie u.IJility,
though hla pronounced dislikes are
arithmetic, "Reel tallona" and German. In aharp contrast to narneey'a backwardness is the precocity
or little Dora. Yocum, a young lady
whom In his t.ltterneas he denominates "Teacher's Pet." In high
achool, where he and Dora. are
classmates, Ramsey con tlnues to
reel that the girl delights to manifest her superiority, and the vindictiveness he generates becomes
alarming, culmlnallng In the resolution that some day he will
"show" her. At a class picnic Ramsey II captured bag and ba~gage
by Milia. Rust, the class beauty,
and endures the agoniPs o! his t\rst
love. Ramsey's parents object to
Milia and wish he'd taken up with
Dora Yocum. Ramsey kisses Millo..
Then Mllla. suddenly leaves town.
She marries. Rams~y ~ntHs the
state university and thPre is Dora
Yocum again. R:l.m•ey meets Dora
In a World War debate and Is Ingloriously vanquished.
CHAPTER VII .-Continued.

of a multitudinous !lllence, for nn eternity lnstlng forty-rl\·e seconds. lie matle
a racking effort, and at the end of thls
epoch found words again. "In making

"I subnllt thnt thP utllrmatl\·e has not
refuted the argument of the negnt!w."
"Very well." With his gavel the
chairman sharply tapped the desk before him. "The question Is now hefore the house. 'Hesolved, that Germany ls botH morally and legally justified In her lnvaslnn of Belgium.' All
tho'ie ln favor of ' tlnr--"
Hnt het·e there was nn Interruption
of a kind neve1· before witnessed durIng any proceedings of the Lmnen society. It came from neither of the debaters, who stlll remninell standing at
their desks until the vote settlin~ tlleir
comparative
merits
In
ar;.:nmt'nt
should be tal&lt;en. The Interruption
was from the rear row of seats along
tlle wall, where sat new meutllers of
the society, freshmen not Ut&gt;on the
program of the evening. A loud nasal
voice was henrd from this quarter, a
loud but nasal voice. shrill as well as
nasal, and full of a strange hot passion. "Mr. Chairman!" It crier\. "Looka-here, Mr. Chairman I Mr. Chairman,
I demand to be henrfl! You gotta gimme my say, Mr. Chairman ! I'm 11:;unna have my say I You look-a-here,
lir. Cltnlrman !"
Shocked by such a breach of order,
and by the unseemly violence of the
speaker, not only the chairmnn hut
everyone else looked there. A short,
strong figure was on Its feet, gesticulating fiercely; and the head belnnglng
to it was a large one with too much
curly black hair, a flat swarthy face,
shiny and not Immaculately shaven;
there was an impression of lll-cltosen
clothes, too much fat red lip, too much
tooth, too m•1ch eyeball. Fred 1111tchell
recogn!1.ed this violent interrupter as
one Llnskl, a fellow freshman who sat
next him in one of his classes. "What's
that cuss up to7" Fred womlt~ re&lt;l, and
10 did others. Llnski showed them.
He pressed forward, sltovlug him~elf
through the two I'O\\'S in front of h!m
till he emt&gt;rged upon the green carpet
ot the open space, and us he came, he
was cyclonic with words.
"You don't put no such stuff ns thi!'l
over, I tell you!" he shontt&gt;d In hill
hot, nusal \'Oice. "This here's n free

fell from his hrow and hiR mouth; the
flcanflnllzed society was on Its feet,
moving nervously Into (!roups. Evidently the meeting was Ahout to dis-

me, Iemme tell you! I'll have my say!"
The outraged cllalrman \\'OS wholly
at a loss how to deal with the "unpl·ece&lt;lented sltuatlon"-so he defined
It, quite truthfully; and he continued
to pound upon the desk, while other
domors began to rival Llnskl's; shouts
bf "Put him out I" "Order!" "Shut
up, Freshman !" "Turn 111w over to
the sophomores!"
"This meeting Is adjourned!" bellowed the chairman, and there was a
thronging toward the doors, while the
frothing Llnskl asseverated: "I'm
11-gonna glt my say, I tell you! I'U
have my say! I'll have my say!"
He had more than that, before the
hour was over. A moment after he
emerged from the building and came
out, still hot, upon the cool, dark
campus, he found himself the center
of a group of his own classmates
whom he at first mistook for sophomores, sueh was their manner.
. . . As this group broke up a few
minutes Iuter, a routh running to join
it, scenting somewhat ot' Interest, detained one of those who were departing-.

And ns Hamsey groaned, the jovial

"XevPr you mlnrt, Brother ~!llhol­

"I never "'nw hlm hefore," Ramsey
responded from the deep chair, where
he had moodily thrown himself; and,
returning to his brooding upon his oratory, "Oh, murder!" he moaned.
"Well," said the senior, "you'll

You put your mark on him where you
can see It, all right!" Tie chuckled.
"I suppose I really ought to have lntPrferert ln that. but I decided to rlo a
little astronoml&lt;'al observation, about
fifty feet away, for a few minutes. I'm
'way bPhlnd In my astronomy, anyhow. Do you know this Llnsk!, Brother 1\IItchell ?"
"I've talked to hlm a couple o' times
on the campus," sold Fred. "He's In
one of my classes. He's about the
oldest in our class, I guess--a lot older
than us, anyhow. He's kind of an anarchist or something; can't talk more'n
five minutes any time without gettln'
otT some bug stuff about 'capitalism.'
He said the course In political economy was all 'capitalism' and the prot
wao:c bought hy 'Vall Streec.''
"Poor old Prof. Craig!" Colburn
laughed. "He gets fifteen hundred 11
year."
"Yes; I'd heard that myself, and t
told Llnslcl, and he said he had nn uncle workin' In a steel m!ll got twice
that much. but It didn't mal{e arty difference, ole Craig was bought by Wall

pretty strong pro-German, too-about
the war in Europe-but I sort of
thought that was more because he'd

"Yes," said Colburn, "that's how he
sounded tonight. I guess there's plenty more like him In the cities, too.
That reminds me: I'd Letter arnmge a
flebate on Immigration for the Lumen.
We'll put, Brother Milholland for the
negative, this time."

Ramsey started violently.

But the senior reassured him. "Just
wnnted to see you jump," he ex:plalned.
"Don't fear; you've done your share.''
"I should think I have I" Ramsey
groaned.
"Yes; you won't be called on n~~:ain
this term. By the way," said Colburn,
thoughtfully, "that was a clever girl
you had against )'OU tonight. I don't
helleve In pacifism much, myself, but
she used It very nlftlly for her argument. Isn't she from your town. this
Miss Yocum?"
'
Fred nodded.
"\Veil, she's a clever young thing,"
said the senior, still thoughtful. And
he added: "Graceful girl, she Is."
At this, the roommates looked at
him with startled attention. Ramsey
was so roused as to forget his troublelil
nod sit forward In hls chair.
"Yes," said the musing Colburn,
"she's n mighty pretty girl."
"\'Vhat !"
This exclamation was a s!multan&amp;

him In blank Incredulity.

from a brief reveriE'. "You fellow•

"You bet!" said Ramsey.
"She made a splendid Impression on
the Lumen," Colburn went on. "l
don't remember that I ever saw a flnt
appearance there that quite equaled tt.
She'll probably have a brilliant career
in ~he society, and In the university,
too. She must be a very fine sort of f\

rPnlizlng that his hosts and brethre~
did not respond with any heartinessor with anything at all-to the theme,
he changerl It, and asked them what
they thought about the war in Europe.
They talked of the war drowsilv for a

exciting topic: the thing they spoke of
was so far away. After a few moments
of fervor, the conversation languished,
and Brother Colburn rose to go.

Serve a loaf tonight. No need to bake it.
Just telephone your grocer or a bakery. Say
you w~nt "f~ll-fruitcd bread- generously
filled with luscwus, seeded, Sun-Maid Raisins."
The flavor of these raisins permeates the
loaf. A cake-like daintiness makes every slice
a treat.

Use it all. You need not waste a crumb.
Raisin bread is luscious, energizing ironfood. So it's both good and good for y~u.
Serve it at least twice a week. Start this

The Insects which att.'lck the potato

a less extent, and tomatoes suffer
greatly from pests.
Tomato Hornworms.
The tomato hornworms are large
green worms, sometimes called tomato
worms or tobacco worms, as thPy fePd

They are the lanae; or young, of
large sphinx moths of two specl~s.
which are very similar In habits and
distribution.
These Insects produce
two broods, and when they begin t•'
mature they cut all the leaves from
tomato plants. Growers should 1be on
the lookout for the first as well as the
second brood. They appear at various times, according to the locality.

practiced, but It tokes an experienced
eye to detect these worms when theY,

more easily sePn and can be destroyed
readily. A single application of lead
arsenate at the usual rate will destroy them even thougll crudely applied.
Those which eat the poison

The False and the True.
Advertising by the use of large space, the expenditure al huge sums
of money have placed on the market, have put in your home, perhaps,
many articles that today have been discarded, as you will readily admit.
Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to the
public than has Fletcher's Castoria: modest in all its claims, pleadinc·
at all times-and truthfully-for our babies?
The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but
the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the old story of the tortoise
that beat the hare.
Mothers everywhe;re, and their daughters, now mothers, speak
frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher's Castoria.
Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and
smiles to their little-one.
To them: to these true mothers no argument can induce them
to set aside their bottle of Castoria, their old friend, that they might
try even another and unknown remedy for babies. Then, would YOU
think of going to YOUR OWN medicine chest to find relief for Baby's
troubles? Can you not separate the false from the true?

MISSION FESTIVAL
Trinity E-.-. Lutheran church
will celebrate its annual m1esion
festival next Sunda_v at the
Crete Park.
The morning service will begin
at 10 o'clock (standard time).
The Rev. Chr. Braunig o~ Buckley. Ill., will speak in the german language. In the afternoon
service, the Rev. E. A. Br·auer
of Roselle, Ill., will deliver an
address in the English language.
The Crete Band
accompany the chorals and furnish
music for our entertainment.
Our Lord commands: "Go ye
into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature."
Me 16:15. "Go," says he, and
his disciples go willing-ly and
gladly; "Go into all the world."
and his disciples rest not until
their voice reaches 'the uttermost ends of the world. ''Preach
the gospel." and true christians
will neither add nor omit a single
truth.
Thousands of years have since
gone by.
Much has been done;
still there are millions who are
yet worshiping idols, or who are
but nominal christians.
Accordina- to statistics there
are about 42 million church
members in the United States,
out of a total population of more
than 105 millions. Eleven million children of school ag-e receive no religious instruction
whatever, and of the young people under the age of 25, there
are 26,851,000 without any church'
affiliation.
Are you doing your
duty? Do you know the real
meaning of the prayer: "Thy
kingdom come"?
A mission text of our Savior's
recorded in Matth. 9, 38 has
these three parts:
1. The harvest truly is plen·teous.
2. The laborers are few.
3. Pray ye therfor the Lord.
REV. C. A. WAECH.

peace conference, which is to be held
in Lausanne, Switzerland, but at this
writing the date of the meeting Is uncertain. Lord Curzon, Brittsh foreign

and France may consent to this in

their best to prevent trouble. The
Greeks carry off all they can and
often destroy the rest of their posses·

Red Cross has announced that It will
care for 800,000 of the refugees. The

that the United States Is the only na·

American consul general at Smyrna, Is
on his way horne to report on the destruction of that city and the attending circumstances. His statement as

awaited eagerly as the payment of insurance may depend upon it. 1\Ir. Ilorton gave no advance information as

Mr.

dances of beauty, of real sentiment,

LESSONS IN FLAG ETIQUETTE
Hazleton (Pa.) Legion Urges Committees in Every Town to Teach

Hazleton, Pa., is said to be no
worse or better than other communities In the matter of its citizenship
paying pro])er respect for their flag,
but in that city the American Legion
is ~triving to make it a 100 per cent
community in flag etiquette. So many
violation:s of the code we1·e brought
to the attention of the local post that
a committee was appointed to call on
and Instruct the violators as to how
to displny the flag, ·md how to act
when it Is carried ]JUSt them, and when
it should bf' db;played.
There hal': been no resentment of
the activities of the committee of
lm;tructlon. Its memhers declare they
have found an ear·ne:st desire on th e

and that violntions are merely the re!': lllt of i g11o ran&lt;~e or carel!'ssr~ess.

L[GION

MADE

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE

The story-the newspaper serial story---has become the habit, and a very good habit, of the great
majority of American newspaper readers. The reason is not far to seek. After the strenuous day the
evening story, moving on the wings of imagination,
brings with its complete change of thought and interest a benediction of mental rest that makes an almost universal appeal.
.
In presenting "The Green Archer"-a new story
of mystery-The Chicago Daily News introduces a
new feature of added interest in story reading-a
distribution of $3,000 in prizes for the best solutions
of the story's mystery. Here is a battle of wits that
ahould provoke the best efforts of the reader to rank

as one of the one ,hundred and sixty victors in the
contest.
The Chicago Daily News is pre-emil:)ently a
familJf newspaper, and its long established daily installment of a high-grade serial story is a feature intended specially to commend it to the home circle.
To emphasize-and advertise-the fact tha.t The Chicago Daily News is a newspaper particularly intended
for women's reading, the condition is made that the
three thousand dollars in prizes shall be paid only for
explanations of the story's mystery sent in by women
and girls. All may read, but only women and girls may
enter the contest-and win the three thousand dollars.

Conditions of the Award of $3,000:
1. To the reader from whom The Daily News receives by mail at its
publication offices, 15 North Wells street, Chicago, the most complete and
correct solution in all its details of the entire mystery in "The Green Archer,"
as it shall be disclosed in the final chapter of the story, to be published Wednesday, December 13, in The Daily News, the sum of $1,000 will be pai-d.
The entire sum of $3,000 w ill be awarded in 160 prizes as follows:
For the beat solution ......•• , • , , , , •• , , •••••••• • • • •. $1,000
For the aecond beat solution ••• , • , •••. -.- ••• - •• - • •.- $250

Making a total of one hundred and sixty prizes ..•••. $3,000

2. "The Green Archer," beginning Thursday, November 2, will continue
in a daily installment until Friday, December 1, on which date all hut the
final chapter will have been published. The interval between Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 9, inclusive, will be allowed for forwa.rding

The Ford Sedan is the favorite family car, seats five comfortably. While an
enclosed car with permanent top, it has large windows, and may in a minute be
changed to a most delightful open car with always a top protecting against the
sun. In inclement weather it is a closed car, dust-proof, water-proof, cold-proof.
Finely upholstered. Equipped with electric starting and lighting system and
demountablerimswith3Yz·inchtiresa11 around. A real family car. Anybody can
safely drive it. It has all the conveniences of an electric car with the economy
which goes with Ford cars, low cost of purchase price, small coat of operation
and maintenance. Won't you come in and look at it?

Elephant's Smeller.
What the elephant laeks in vi~lon Is
more than compen,.ated for by tile animal's keen sense of smell. His trunk
is probably the best smelling apparatus in the world; and he tlepends tlrst
of all on his sense of smell. When he
Is at all suspicious he moves his trunk
around in every tlirectlon, so that the

"This dflor," said Fell, lnclicating

listening, and o"er his feutures came
a singular expre~sion. As tire others
joined him, they caught a low murmur of vol!'es, a hushed sound of tnlk.
a rattle as a numl.rer of chijls fell

"Cursed queer!" observed .Taf'hln

That gentleman .flung open the rloor,
and Mnillurd entt'red 11t his side. They
then cam!' to fl stnrtli'Cl hnlt. nt view
of the scE&gt;ne which gt·el'ted th&lt;.&gt;m.
The room was large and wPII lighteel, windows and transom &lt;larkenerl

Tohar!'o smoke
made a blul~h IHfze in the air. In
the ccntPr of the room stoorl a lnrge
tahle. littered with gla!'&gt;se!'i nn&lt;l hotties, with scattE-red cm·ds, with chips

Ahout this tahle had be~&gt;n sitting;

standing-. th&lt;&gt;ir ,·arious ill&lt;'ntiries completely cont'ealerl by the gr·ntesque cn~­

Their

the nearer members of the &lt;.lrinldng

with a burst of sudden shouts. striking and clutching to pull him down

Then, wlren It seemed that they had

With an oath, Maillard hurled himself forward. strurk blinrlly anrl furl·

but behinrl him had remained a more
grim and terrible mnsquer.
In the room which be had just left,
however. there had fallen a dread silence and consternation. One of tbe
mnsqued drinkers held nq arm that
hung helpless. dripping blood; but his
hur·t passed unseen and unco.red for,
even by himself.
Doctor Ansley was kneeling above

The physician
glanced up. then rose slowly to bis

CHAPTER IX.
On the Bayou.
At three o'elocl;: on the morning of
Ash Wedne.,..,rJay the great white :'lfaison Blanche buildln:: was deserted and

not ornate, thE&gt;se offices.
They conslstrrl of two rooms, a small
rel'eption room and a lnrge private
offire. both llnerl to tfie ceiling with
hooks, chiefly law hooks. In the larger
room were o;Jtting three men. One
of the three, Ben Chncherre, sat In
II chnir tipped back against the wall,
his eyes closPrt. From time to time
he opE&gt;ned those sparkling hl!lck eyes
of his. and through narrow-slitted lids
directE&gt;rl keen glances at the other
two men
One of. the men was the chle:t ot
police. Tt1e !;econd w:1s Jachin Fell,
whn!'&lt;e offif'es thl'se were.
"Ev!'n If thing!; are as you say,
whi&lt;'h I don't doubt at all." said the
&lt;'hlef. slowly, "I can't helieve the boy
rllfl It! And onrn It all, If I pinch
him thpre's goln' to be a b- of a
scandnl !'
F'cll shrugged his shoulders, and
made response In his toneless voice:
"Chief. ~-ou're up against fucts.
Those facts are hounrl to come out
and the new~paJiers will nnll your
hide to the wall in a minute. You've
a bare chance to save yourself by tnk·
lng in ~·oung- ~Inillnrd at on&lt;'e."
The chief chewed hard on his cigar.
"I do!l't want to snve myself by put·
ting the wrrrn~ man behind the bars,"
he returnerl. "It sur·e looks like he
was the :\Iasi}uer nil the while. but
you say that he wasn't. You say this
was his only job-a joke that turned
out had."
"Those are the facts," said Fell. "I
dorr't \vant to accuse a man of crimes
I know he clirl not commit. We have
the bP!&lt;t of eviclcnce thnt he did commit this crime. If tire newspnpers
fasten the entire 1\fidnight 1\fasquer
business on ~im, as they're sure to
do, we can't very well help him. I
have no sympathy for the boy."
"Of course l1e rlirl, lt." put in Ben
ChachPrre, sleepily. "Wasn't he caught
with the goods?"
The others paid no heed. The chief
inrlicn ted two early editions of the
morning pnpers. whiPh lay on the desk
in front of Fell. These paper·s carried full ::lf'f'Ounts of the return of
the :llidnig-ht l\Iasquer's loot, explaining his rol.rberies as part of a carnival
jest.
'The later erlitlons, comin' out now,"
snirl the clr!C'f, "will crowd all that
stuff off the front page with the Mail·
lar&lt;l murder. Darn it. Fell! Whether
I believe It or not, I'll have to ar·
rest the young fool."
Chacherre chuckled.

PLAN TO CONTROL WEATHER
Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.
Three or four years ago a Sheffield
(Eng.) workingman claimed to be putting the finishing touches to an Instrument to enable him "to focus benms or
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the Instrument could not have been so perfect
as he thought, for nothing further has
been heard of it. Before t11at a Leeds
scientist had come to the condusion
that it was "within the scope of hu·
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes ond storms, and
even to improye permanently the
weather of the British Isles." The
idea was the production of an Instrument t&gt;nnhling the operator to collect
or &lt;lissemble the molecules whl~h form
the atmosphere, securing the degree
of density desired and so arranging
the best weather required for any district or seasonal occupatlou. l\Iore
than twelve years ago Sir Oliver L odge
demonstrated that fog could be dispelled by electricity, though the
process was too costly for adoption

peace conference, which is to be held
in Lausanne, Switzerland, but at this
writing the date of the meeting Is uncertain. Lord Curzon, Brittsh foreign

should participate. Italy says that

and France may consent to this in

though the allied fors:es are doing
their best to prevent trouble. The
Greeks carry off all they can and

Red Cross has announced that It will
care for 800,000 of the refugees. The
press of Athens complains bitterly
that the United States Is the only na·

on his way horne to report on the destruction of that city and the attending circumstances. His statement as
to the origin of the conflagration is
awaited eagerly as the payment of insurance may depend upon it. 1\Ir. Ilorton gave no advance information as

Mr.

his programs with all the care and
caution any Beau Brummel of ;:;o years

"The waltz and the minuet and the

the old South. And they are the
dances of beauty, of real sentiment,
of soothing strnlns. I have notirecl

approached the fnrt that It would be

Hazleton, Pa., is said to be no

but in that city the American Legion
is ~triving to make it a 100 per cent
community in flag etiquette. So many
violation:s of the code we1·e brought

a committee was appointed to call on

to displny the flag, ·md how to act

it should bf' db;played.
There hal': been no resentment of

Woman Must Pass

L[GION

MADE

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE

The story-the newspaper serial story---has become the habit, and a very good habit, of the great
majority of American newspaper readers. The reason is not far to seek. After the strenuous day the
evening story, moving on the wings of imagination,
brings with its complete change of thought and interest a benediction of mental rest that makes an almost universal appeal.
.
In presenting "The Green Archer"-a new story
of mystery-The Chicago Daily News introduces a
new feature of added interest in story reading-a
distribution of $3,000 in prizes for the best solutions
of the story's mystery. Here is a battle of wits that
ahould provoke the best efforts of the reader to rank

as one of the one ,hundred and sixty victors in the
contest.
The Chicago Daily News is pre-emil:)ently a
familJf newspaper, and its long established daily installment of a high-grade serial story is a feature intended specially to commend it to the home circle.
To emphasize-and advertise-the fact tha.t The Chicago Daily News is a newspaper particularly intended

The Ford Sedan is the favorite family car, seats five comfortably. While an
enclosed car with permanent top, it has large windows, and may in a minute be
changed to a most delightful open car with always a top protecting against the
sun. In inclement weather it is a closed car, dust-proof, water-proof, cold-proof.
Finely upholstered. Equipped with electric starting and lighting system and
demountablerimswith3Yz·inchtiresa11 around. A real family car. Anybody can
safely drive it. It has all the conveniences of an electric car with the economy
which goes with Ford cars, low cost of purchase price, small coat of operation
and maintenance. Won't you come in and look at it?

Elephant's Smeller.
What the elephant laeks in vi~lon Is
more than compen,.ated for by tile animal's keen sense of smell. His trunk
is probably the best smelling apparatus in the world; and he tlepends tlrst
of all on his sense of smell. When he
Is at all suspicious he moves his trunk
around in every tlirectlon, so that the
slightest taint In the alr will reach
him. In ruany other ways the eiPphant's trunk is the most extraordinary part of that most extraordinary
animal. It is entirels flexillle at every
point. and it can turn In any dh·e&lt;:tion
and has tremendou~ strength. There
is no bone in it, b11t it is constructed
of interwoven ruo,:f·le and sinew so
tough that you can seureely eut it with
a knife. From it an elephant can
slloot a stream of water· that will put
out a fire; and with it he can lift a
tr!:'e trunk weighing a ton, or pull a
deli!·ate blade of gras~. He drink~
with it, feeds himl'elf "ith it. smell"

"This dflor," said Fell, lnclicating
one to their right. He pauserl at it,
listening, and o"er his feutures came
a singular expre~sion. As tire others
joined him, they caught a low murmur of vol!'es, a hushed sound of tnlk.
a rattle as a numl.rer of chijls fell
:from a tllble.
"Cursed queer!" observed .Taf'hln
Fell. frowning. "I wonder whnt happened to them so abruptly? Perhaps
the deal was finished- they're having"

'Ve'll buck you up as a deputation

That gentleman .flung open the rloor,
and Mnillurd entt'red 11t his side. They
then cam!' to fl stnrtli'Cl hnlt. nt view
of the scE&gt;ne which gt·el'ted th&lt;.&gt;m.
The room was large and wPII lighteel, windows and transom &lt;larkenerl
for the oc!'a!'iion.
Tohar!'o smoke
made a blul~h IHfze in the air. In
the ccntPr of the room stoorl a lnrge
tahle. littered with gla!'&gt;se!'i nn&lt;l hotties, with scattE-red cm·ds, with chips
anrl mone.v.
Ahout this tahle had be~&gt;n sitting;
half a rlo:r.en nwmh&lt;&gt;rs of thP Kn•we
of Comus. , Now. lllm·eyer, they were
standing-. th&lt;&gt;ir ,·arious ill&lt;'ntiries completely cont'ealerl by the gr·ntesque cn~­
tumE&gt;s which don ked them.
Their
hnnds were in thE&gt; nir.
Stnntlin;.: nt anothl'r doorway, midway between thf'ir group nnrl tlrut of

Thii action precipitated the event.

Malllnrrl's mud nrtlon shamed them,
the nearer members of the &lt;.lrinldng
party hurll'l t hem1;elvc:&gt; at the bandit.

with a burst of sudden shouts. striking and clutching to pull him down
and put him under foot.
Then, wlren It seemed that they had

broke from them, swept them apart
and threw them of!', hurled them clear
away. Be move&lt;.! as though to leap

With an oath, Maillard hurled himself forward. strurk blinrlly anrl furl·

but behinrl him had remained a more
grim and terrible mnsquer.
In the room which be had just left,
however. there had fallen a dread silence and consternation. One of tbe
mnsqued drinkers held nq arm that
hung helpless. dripping blood; but his
hur·t passed unseen and unco.red for,
even by himself.
Doctor Ansley was kneeling above
a motionless figure. prope on the dirty floor; and it was the fi~ure of

The physician
glanced up. then rose slowly to bis

CHAPTER IX.
On the Bayou.
At three o'elocl;: on the morning of
Ash Wedne.,..,rJay the great white :'lfaison Blanche buildln:: was deserted and

not ornate, thE&gt;se offices.
They conslstrrl of two rooms, a small
rel'eption room and a lnrge private
offire. both llnerl to tfie ceiling with
hooks, chiefly law hooks. In the larger
room were o;Jtting three men. One
of the three, Ben Chncherre, sat In
II chnir tipped back against the wall,
his eyes closPrt. From time to time
he opE&gt;ned those sparkling hl!lck eyes
of his. and through narrow-slitted lids
directE&gt;rl keen glances at the other
two men
One of. the men was the chle:t ot
police. Tt1e !;econd w:1s Jachin Fell,
whn!'&lt;e offif'es thl'se were.
"Ev!'n If thing!; are as you say,
whi&lt;'h I don't doubt at all." said the
&lt;'hlef. slowly, "I can't helieve the boy
rllfl It! And onrn It all, If I pinch
him thpre's goln' to be a b- of a
scandnl !'
F'cll shrugged his shoulders, and
made response In his toneless voice:
"Chief. ~-ou're up against fucts.
Those facts are hounrl to come out
and the new~paJiers will nnll your
hide to the wall in a minute. You've
a bare chance to save yourself by tnk·
lng in ~·oung- ~Inillnrd at on&lt;'e."
The chief chewed hard on his cigar.
"I do!l't want to snve myself by put·
ting the wrrrn~ man behind the bars,"
he returnerl. "It sur·e looks like he
was the :\Iasi}uer nil the while. but
you say that he wasn't. You say this
was his only job-a joke that turned
out had."
"Those are the facts," said Fell. "I
dorr't \vant to accuse a man of crimes
I know he clirl not commit. We have
the bP!&lt;t of eviclcnce thnt he did commit this crime. If tire newspnpers
fasten the entire 1\fidnight 1\fasquer
business on ~im, as they're sure to
do, we can't very well help him. I
have no sympathy for the boy."
"Of course l1e rlirl, lt." put in Ben
ChachPrre, sleepily. "Wasn't he caught
with the goods?"
The others paid no heed. The chief
inrlicn ted two early editions of the
morning pnpers. whiPh lay on the desk
in front of Fell. These paper·s carried full ::lf'f'Ounts of the return of
the :llidnig-ht l\Iasquer's loot, explaining his rol.rberies as part of a carnival
jest.
'The later erlitlons, comin' out now,"
snirl the clr!C'f, "will crowd all that
stuff off the front page with the Mail·
lar&lt;l murder. Darn it. Fell! Whether
I believe It or not, I'll have to ar·
rest the young fool."
Chacherre chuckled.
Jachin Fell
smi!Pd faintly.
"Xothing could he plainer: chief," he

"How'd ~·ou know who he was?" interjected the chi&lt;'f, shrewdly.
"&lt;~rumont rl'cog-nized him; Ansley

was mo1·e or Je;;s intoxicated-chiefly

in the r"om at the moml'nt of the murder-unless he ''-'!IS the Uusquer. Five
minutes afterward he was found In a
nenriJy room . . ha&gt;;tily' changing out o:t
an aviator·'s uniform into his masquernde costume. Obviously, he had assnmerl tire guise of the llfasquer as a
joke on his frit'n&lt;.ls, and the jolre had
a trn~ic ending. Further. he was In
the a\·i11tion servir'e during the war,
and so lrnd the uniform rearly to hand.
You couldn't make anybody believe
that he husn't been the lllasquer all
the time!"
"Of course,'' and the chief nodded
perplexedly. "It'd be a clear caseonly you call me in and say that he
wasn't the ~Iao;quer! D-n It, Fell,
this thing ha:o; my goat!"
"'\'hat's :\laillard's story?" struck in
Ben Ctnwherr·e.
"lie denies the whole thing," saM
the worr-ied chief. "Acrorrling to his
story, which sonnried straight the way

joke on his friends 11nd was dressing
in the l\lasqner's costume when he
heard the shots. He claims that the
shots stnrtled him and made him

not entered the other rr•om at all, exC'e]Jt in Iris nrasquer·arle clothes. He
sa~·s the murderer must hnve been the
real ~lasqu .. r. It's likely enough, hecause all ~·oung ll!aillard's crowd knew
ahout the party that was to be held

"No mntter·." said Fell. coldly.
"Chief. tl1is ls llll open an&lt;l shut f'nse;
the bov was hound to lie. 'l'hat be

course, but none t11e less it did take

"The hny's a wreclt this minute."
The chief hPirl a mateh to his unli~ht­
ecl cigar. "But you say that 11e ain't
the ori;.:iunl l\lasqut&gt;r?"
"Xo !'' l&lt;'t'll spoke quietly. "The
original :lla&gt;&lt;quer was another· person,
and had 11othin~ to do with the present case. This iu(orwation is confidential and between our;;elves."
"Oli. of eourse." a~~wnted the chief.
""'ell, 1 suppo»e I got to pull :\luillard,
but I hate to do it. I got a hunch

PLAN TO CONTROL WEATHER
Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.
Three or four years ago a Sheffield
(Eng.) workingman claimed to be putting the finishing touches to an Instrument to enable him "to focus benms or
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the Instrument could not have been so perfect
as he thought, for nothing further has
been heard of it. Before t11at a Leeds
scientist had come to the condusion
that it was "within the scope of hu·
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes ond storms, and
even to improye permanently the
weather of the British Isles." The
idea was the production of an Instrument t&gt;nnhling the operator to collect
or &lt;lissemble the molecules whl~h form
the atmosphere, securing the degree
of density desired and so arranging
the best weather required for any district or seasonal occupatlou. l\Iore
than twelve years ago Sir Oliver L odge
demonstrated that fog could be dispelled by electricity, though the
process was too costly for adoption

promptly announced the new cabinet.
Most of Its membPrs belong to the
Fascisti, hut several places are given

From all over the country the Black
Shirts flocked to Rome where 100,000
of the-m paraued before the king and
premier, anq then, at the order ot
their lenders, they dispersed to their
homes to resume their vocations.
Italy seems to have supreme confidence in :\Iussollnl, believing thnt he
will put an end to the conflicts or political factions that have ~adly
hindered its development during the
last three years and that under his
rule economic prosperity will be restored. He is young, vigorous ancl unpretentlou,; and already has buckled
down to hard work. Once he was a
revolutionary Soclaitst and wus ex:p&lt;&gt;lled from Switzerland and from
whnt was then the Austrian Tyrol.
But he broke with his old associates
when in his paper, Popolo Italla, he
urged Italy to enter the war on the
side of the allies. To the world' at
large the victory of Mussollni and his
Fascisti is most Important because It
was a ,·ictory over the Communists,

amusement. Really it Is entirely unimportant, but Wilhelm spread himself so far as he conlcl, with lurlirrou&gt;~
pomp nnrl proclamations in which all
his lost titles appear. The ceremony
wns performed at Doorn anrl was attenued by a consiclerable number of
the faithful, including George Sylvester Viereck, the notorious pro-German·
American publicist. Wilhelm wanted
to take his bride for a honeymoon
trip outside of llollancl, but the allies
and the Dutch government wouldn't
permit that. The "queen of Prussia,"

to be a determinPd lady anrl she has

GENERAL DAUGHA TTORNEY
ERTY, who has been attacked repeateuly because of his alleged slowness in prosecuting the "war swin·
dlers," has announced that prelimInary Investigation into 425 wartime contracts has disclosed evidence
on which the government will take action. In every one of these cases, he
says, either civil or criminal suits or
both must be brought by the government. "Legal civil aqtion will be
taken in every case' in which it has
been discovered that fraud, collusion,
or dishonesty was practiced," sa~l t~e
attorney general. "While great numbers of cases indicate on their face
the worst kind of fraud and thievery,
the government cannot, of course, go
Into court until it has established absolutely on the face of records in Its
possession that its case will stand the
acld test. The g-overnment must be
fair to Itself, and fair even to those
whom It would brand as crooks and
profiteers, yet, every single individual, firm, or corporation invol\'ed in
the cases now In the posse~sion of the
department, must satisfy the government's claims to the last penny."

With some provisions piled in the

along the bayou side.. past ancient
'Cajun farms and the squat homes of
fishermen. Here and there had been
placed camps and summer cottages,
nestling amid groups of huge oaks and
cypr('SS, whose ft"Onds of silver-gray
moss hung in drooping clusters like
pale and ghostly shrouds.
Watching the road closely. Gramont
suddenly found the landmarks that

~This feeding floor

will help fatten your
hogs quicker
The hog that eats a piece of mud with
every mouthful of feed is in constant
danger of disease. He fattens slowly.
Plan now to put in a feeding floor made
with Marquette Cement. Besides helping keep hogs healthy this floor will save
you the loss of valuable feed otherwise
trampled into the mud. It is easy to
build and its cost is low.
Your Marquette dealer will also be glad
to talk to you about the adyantages of
Marquette Cement wallowing pools,
hog houses, drinking troughs and other
farm equipment. See him the next time
you're in town.

promptly announced the new cabinet.
Most of Its membPrs belong to the
Fascisti, hut several places are given
to the Nationalists, one to the Democmts and one to the Catholic party.
From all over the country the Black
Shirts flocked to Rome where 100,000
of the-m paraued before the king and
premier, anq then, at the order ot
their lenders, they dispersed to their
homes to resume their vocations.
Italy seems to have supreme confidence in :\Iussollnl, believing thnt he
will put an end to the conflicts or political factions that have ~adly
hindered its development during the
last three years and that under his
rule economic prosperity will be restored. He is young, vigorous ancl unpretentlou,; and already has buckled
down to hard work. Once he was a
revolutionary Soclaitst and wus ex:p&lt;&gt;lled from Switzerland and from
whnt was then the Austrian Tyrol.
But he broke with his old associates
when in his paper, Popolo Italla, he
urged Italy to enter the war on the
side of the allies. To the world' at
large the victory of Mussollni and his
Fascisti is most Important because It

GENERAL DAUGHA TTORNEY
ERTY, who has been attacked repeateuly because of his alleged slowness in prosecuting the "war swin·
dlers," has announced that prelimInary Investigation into 425 wartime contracts has disclosed evidence
on which the government will take action. In every one of these cases, he
says, either civil or criminal suits or
both must be brought by the government. "Legal civil aqtion will be
taken in every case' in which it has
been discovered that fraud, collusion,
or dishonesty was practiced," sa~l t~e
attorney general. "While great numbers of cases indicate on their face
the worst kind of fraud and thievery,
the government cannot, of course, go
Into court until it has established absolutely on the face of records in Its
possession that its case will stand the
acld test. The g-overnment must be
fair to Itself, and fair even to those
whom It would brand as crooks and
profiteers, yet, every single individual, firm, or corporation invol\'ed in
the cases now In the posse~sion of the

these facts, Gramont consulted with
llammonrl.
"We'd better bus some grub here In
town and anan::re to stay a couple of
nig-hts on the farm. if necessary," he
said. "Thet·e nr&lt;' some buildings there,
so we'll find shl'lter. Along the bayou
are summer cottages-! believe some
of them rather pretPntious placesand we ought to find the road pretty
decent. It's only three or four miles
out of town."
With some provisions piled in the
car. thPY set forth. The road wound
along the bayou side.. past ancient
'Cajun farms and the squat homes of
fishermen. Here and there had been
placed camps and summer cottages,
nestling amid groups of huge oaks and
cypr('SS, whose ft"Onds of silver-gray
moss hung in drooping clusters like
pale and ghostly shrouds.
Watching the road closely. Gramont
suddenly found the landmarks that
had been descrihert to him, and or- ·
dered Hammond to stop and turn in
at a gap in the fence which had once
heen an !:'ntrnnce gate.
"Here we are! Thosp are the buildings off to the right. Whew! I Ghould

Nothing
much left hut ruins. Go ahead!"
Before them, as they drove In from
the road hy a grass-covered drive,
showed a house, shed, and barn amid

a clmner of towerln~ tree!!.

Indeed,

trees were everywhere about the farm,
which had g-rown up In a reg-ular sapling- forPst. The bullrlimrs were In

~This feeding floor

will help fatten your
hogs quicker
The hog that eats a piece of mud with
every mouthful of feed is in constant
danger of disease. He fattens slowly.
Plan now to put in a feeding floor made
with Marquette Cement. Besides helping keep hogs healthy this floor will save
you the loss of valuable feed otherwise
trampled into the mud. It is easy to
build and its cost is low.
Your Marquette dealer will also be glad
to talk to you about the adyantages of
Marquette Cement wallowing pools,
hog houses, drinking troughs and other
farm equipment. See him the next time
you're in town.

square had acquired the dlgnity of 11
pasture a sturdy white house was
erected on the slope of a hlll near the
Harlem river at a point now known as
Blghbrldge district, the New York
Herald-Tribune says. It was u simple
structure, with patriarchal porch and
massive paneled doors fashioned to resist sudden attack. Loopholed shutters
were hung ready for emergency, the
chimney was constructed of bricl(
brought !rom England and to the
handful of neighbors It was regarded
as the last word in modem dwellings.
They referred to It with civic pride
when entertaining visitors from the
seaport metropolls of New York.
Today the same house rests amid
blocks of towering apartments. Few
passersby are aware that It is the
home of a granddaughter of the Revolution or realize the Important part It
had tn the making of this nation. The
ftoors creaked often under the stately
tread of Washington, the courtly Lafayette danced the minuet there, while
the biutr Rochambeau, soldier fashion,
toasted success to war from many a
tl.agon while seated in Its dining room.
Memories of Lafayette.
"I can well remember the stories my
grandfather told of Lafayette. So
gentle, so merry, yet so brave, the
marquis was t
favored one of all,"
said Mrs. Emm C. De Voe, granddaughter of the Revolution, who dwells
in this house of glorious memories.
Mrs. De Voe Is eighty-four years old.
Her grandfather was Andrew Corsa,
who died about the middle of the last
century. He was the last of the Westchester guides, that troop of hardy
men who 'braved death by the noose to
circumvent the enemy and swore by
the steel to ask no quarter In battle.
ThP.y were the eyes and ears of the
Contlnentat army In this section.
The story or Andrew Corsa, whose
picture hangs In the front room, with
an Ivory' card of Invitation to Washlngton':o~ Inauguration thrust in a corner or t)le frame, reads like a chapter
from one of (',ooper's novels. At the
age of sixteen he was rendering lm·
portant services to scouting parties
that approached the British lines. A
few ;·~&gt;ar:o~ later he was riding at the
right hand of the leader of the Colo·
nial forces, a trusted adYiser during
the campaign before New York In 1781,
toward the close of the Revolution.
Son of Stanch Tory.
.As the records which Mrs. De Voe

possesses show, when the Revolutionary troubles began Capt. Isaac Corsa,
father of Andrew, held a commission
under the crown and remained a
stnnch Tory to the end ot the conflict.
His estate comprised the land now oc·
cupled by St. John's college, a short
distance from the scenes of his son's
romance. He was unbending ln his
belief that the king could do no wrong.
F'rom the early day~ of the struggle for
independence young Andrew looked
askance at hls father's scarlet coat,
and his zeal for American llberty overcame all family considerations.
"Acquainted with all the passages
about Kingshrldge, Fordham and Morrlsaola, my grandfather's services
were anxiously sought," continued Mrs.
De Voe, r.eferrlng to a memorandum
'' hlch she had at hand. "In the summer of 1781, after the allied forces
had been encamped upon the heights
of Greenburg for several weeks, Washington and Rochambeau made ready
for a formidable movement toward rfle
lines of the enemy. Those were tryIng days Indeed, I can well remember
henrlng grandfathet· say when talking
about the war. It seems like yester·
day that he sat In hls great chair
sketching old battle plans on the
ground with his cane. I was a very
small girl at the time.
"Count Mathew Dumas and several
other young officers belonging to the
French stat! who had been mapping
the country hereabouts were ordered
to set out at dayllght and to push forward until they carne within sight of
the enemy's most adYanced redoubts
nt the northern end of Manhattan
Island. The command was given to
Count Dumas, while Cornelius Oakley
of \Vhlte Plains was selected to act as
principal guide, accompanied by hls
cousin, James Oakley, and by grandfather.
Drove in British Outposts.
"Below Mllesquare the reconnoiter·
ing party found a junction wltlt a body
of American light infantry. The allied
detachments then attacked and dispersed a strong patrol of British regu.
Iars and soon afterward drove across
Klngsbrldge the chasseurs that occupied the Hessian outposts.

For hours he was constantly on horsebacl{, giving counsel to Washington,
R&lt;&gt;&lt;'hambeau, Lunzun and other gen·
eruls whlle they passed through the
fields of Morrisania, Fordham and
Yonkers.
"Now we come to an Incident which
I always liked to hear grandfather rJe·
scrlh!', for, young as I was, it app!'ared
highly humorour:. and he bad such a
droll way of telling it. Grandfather
was mounted on a spirited horse. noted
for speed, lbut Vl'lllch never before
had been under fire. When the allies,
marching east near the Bronx river,
came in sight of the enemy the fire
which the Bt·itlsh artillery opened upon
them was so terrible that the horse
turned tail and galloped for safety
behind the old Morrlsanla mill. With
great difficulty grandfather tnanaged
to rein him ln. Looking back, he saw
Washington, Rochambeau and the
other officers riding calmly along, as
though nothing unusu'al was occurring.
Be forced his mount to return and resumed his place In the order of march.
The officers, with good-natured laughter, welcomed him back.
"At the termination of the engagement Washington was loud in his
praise of this boy, whose knowledge o1
the country had been of so great os·
slstance. This is shown by the offi·
cia! letters that grandfather received

Washington Frequent Visitor.
Even in the busy years whicll
marked the real formation of the republic Washington did not forget the
hospltallty o~ the De Voe house, nnd
several times he was a guest there
whUe making tours of the old campfllgn ground. One of the chairs, now
standing at rlgld attention against the
wall, was a prime favorite with the
general, and a scar on one of the arm~

has opened to the touch of so many
notables.
To the l't1.trquls de Lafayette the
house had u fascination which extend·
ed into th" days of his old age. He
had learned to look upon It as a haven
wherein to east aside the cares in war.
So many thrllUng facts associated
with the bhth of the natlon are clustered about the little \\'hlte house and
the family which has occupied It from
one generntiOl&lt; to another until the
present It would need a volume to
chronicle all of them. The De Voes,
who helped to carve history with their
swords, have been In this country
since 1617. The first to make his horne
in the New world was Frederick De
Yoe, or, as the name then was spelled
De Yenux. Bls lands extended ovet
many a~res.
Now the homestead, \VIth Its bit of
land, shelters only the granddnughter
of the ReYolution and her son, Chauncey De Voe. To her son Mrs. De Voe

if the days of Lafayette himself had

had been and after taking a few bottles I am not bothered any more. I am
doing my housework every day and highly recommend the Vegetable Compound
to any woman sutrerlng from female trouble. Only yesterday a. friend called
me on the 'phone and knowing what It did for me wanted to know what to ask
for at the drug-store, as she meant to gi'Y8 1t a trial."-MRS. C. E. CHAPMAN,

Another C...l3 of Nervous Breakdown
MEMPHIS. TENN.-"'Two years a~o I was completely run-down and my
nerves were a wreck. I coul&lt;:l not swee• a room without resting, I could not do
any of my work except a little at a time and the doctor's medicine did not help
me. 011e day aome one threw a Uttle book on to my porch and In It I read several
testimonials of women who had been like my~ elf. I went rlgbt out and got me a.
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and before I had ta.ken tha
whole of that bottle I knew It was helping me. I took six bottlea and then In
about three months I took two more. Now I am In ferfect health. I do all
my own work and could do more. I can truly say tl:la. I know Lydia E . Pinkham's Ve~etable Compound gave me -,:ny health."-:MRS. 0. J. HINCKLEY.

and drew himself up through the openIng and tipped the trapdoor back In
place.
·
"That makes It awkward,'' he muttered as he stepped to the open door
flnd gazed up and down the valley.
The man's lack of suspicion and Ills
readint&gt;ss to accept an Intruder as a
member of the gang Indicated that
some one known us "Rusty" was expected to be In the cabin; therefore,
Rusty must be In the Immediate neighborhood nnd likely to appear at any
moment. 'While It was reassuring to
discover no body of men approaching
the cabin it was disquieting to observe
t11ere were no horses In sight
The man In the cellar had arrived
on foot; nud he must have come from
the nearby wood or else he would have
been ,seen from one of the two windows before Dinsdale ventured through
the trapdoor. It was pos~lble that he
and his friend Rusty had been togetller and had separated when near
the cabin. This would permit the second man to be In the woods opposite
the door.
Dinsdale ran to the nearest point
of the growth despite t he possl!)Jlity
that Rusty might be waiting to receive him. Nor did he breathe freely
until he plunged Into cover. Soon he
was back at the camp and Pyrites was
de&gt;mandlng:
"Where In sin hove you been?"
"I've been In a long narrow valley
between this and the next ridge,"
wearily reJ?Iled Dlnsdale. "And I had
an adventure I never looked for."
Forthwith he recited his experience In
the cabin and his assault on the man
In the cellar.

square had acquired the dlgnity of 11
pasture a sturdy white house was
erected on the slope of a hlll near the
Harlem river at a point now known as
Blghbrldge district, the New York
Herald-Tribune says. It was u simple
structure, with patriarchal porch and
massive paneled doors fashioned to resist sudden attack. Loopholed shutters
were hung ready for emergency, the
chimney was constructed of bricl(
brought !rom England and to the
handful of neighbors It was regarded
as the last word in modem dwellings.
They referred to It with civic pride
when entertaining visitors from the
seaport metropolls of New York.
Today the same house rests amid
blocks of towering apartments. Few
passersby are aware that It is the
home of a granddaughter of the Revolution or realize the Important part It
had tn the making of this nation. The
ftoors creaked often under the stately
tread of Washington, the courtly Lafayette danced the minuet there, while
the biutr Rochambeau, soldier fashion,
toasted success to war from many a
tl.agon while seated in Its dining room.
Memories of Lafayette.
"I can well remember the stories my
grandfather told of Lafayette. So
gentle, so merry, yet so brave, the
marquis was t
favored one of all,"
said Mrs. Emm C. De Voe, granddaughter of the Revolution, who dwells
in this house of glorious memories.
Mrs. De Voe Is eighty-four years old.
Her grandfather was Andrew Corsa,
who died about the middle of the last
century. He was the last of the Westchester guides, that troop of hardy
men who 'braved death by the noose to
circumvent the enemy and swore by
the steel to ask no quarter In battle.
ThP.y were the eyes and ears of the
Contlnentat army In this section.
The story or Andrew Corsa, whose
picture hangs In the front room, with
an Ivory' card of Invitation to Washlngton':o~ Inauguration thrust in a corner or t)le frame, reads like a chapter
from one of (',ooper's novels. At the
age of sixteen he was rendering lm·
portant services to scouting parties
that approached the British lines. A
few ;·~&gt;ar:o~ later he was riding at the
right hand of the leader of the Colo·
nial forces, a trusted adYiser during
the campaign before New York In 1781,
toward the close of the Revolution.
Son of Stanch Tory.
.As the records which Mrs. De Voe

possesses show, when the Revolutionary troubles began Capt. Isaac Corsa,
father of Andrew, held a commission
under the crown and remained a
stnnch Tory to the end ot the conflict.
His estate comprised the land now oc·
cupled by St. John's college, a short
distance from the scenes of his son's
romance. He was unbending ln his
belief that the king could do no wrong.
F'rom the early day~ of the struggle for
independence young Andrew looked
askance at hls father's scarlet coat,
and his zeal for American llberty overcame all family considerations.
"Acquainted with all the passages
about Kingshrldge, Fordham and Morrlsaola, my grandfather's services
were anxiously sought," continued Mrs.
De Voe, r.eferrlng to a memorandum
'' hlch she had at hand. "In the summer of 1781, after the allied forces
had been encamped upon the heights
of Greenburg for several weeks, Washington and Rochambeau made ready

"Count Mathew Dumas and several

the country hereabouts were ordered
to set out at dayllght and to push forward until they carne within sight of

For hours he was constantly on horsebacl{, giving counsel to Washington,

fields of Morrisania, Fordham and
Yonkers.
"Now we come to an Incident which
I always liked to hear grandfather rJe·

highly humorour:. and he bad such a
droll way of telling it. Grandfather
was mounted on a spirited horse. noted
for speed, lbut Vl'lllch never before
had been under fire. When the allies,
marching east near the Bronx river,
came in sight of the enemy the fire
which the Bt·itlsh artillery opened upon
them was so terrible that the horse
turned tail and galloped for safety
behind the old Morrlsanla mill. With
great difficulty grandfather tnanaged
to rein him ln. Looking back, he saw
Washington, Rochambeau and the
other officers riding calmly along, as
though nothing unusu'al was occurring.
Be forced his mount to return and resumed his place In the order of march.
The officers, with good-natured laughter, welcomed him back.
"At the termination of the engagement Washington was loud in his
praise of this boy, whose knowledge o1
the country had been of so great os·
slstance. This is shown by the offi·
cia! letters that grandfather received

Even in the busy years whicll
marked the real formation of the republic Washington did not forget the
hospltallty o~ the De Voe house, nnd
several times he was a guest there
whUe making tours of the old campfllgn ground. One of the chairs, now
standing at rlgld attention against the
wall, was a prime favorite with the
general, and a scar on one of the arm~
Is said to have been made by hl~

measured the length of his vl!;its

To the l't1.trquls de Lafayette the
house had u fascination which extend·

had learned to look upon It as a haven
wherein to east aside the cares in war.
So many thrllUng facts associated
with the bhth of the natlon are clustered about the little \\'hlte house and
the family which has occupied It from
one generntiOl&lt; to another until the
present It would need a volume to
chronicle all of them. The De Voes,
who helped to carve history with their
swords, have been In this country
since 1617. The first to make his horne

Now the homestead, \VIth Its bit of

the new HOOVER, here announced for the first
time&gt;, to any ('arlier method of home cleaning and
ru :. care!
Nearly 2,000,000 moJern homes have found The
Hoover of standard design the most efficient cleaning instt·ument yet devised.
But good as it is. the new design Hoover far surpasses it, in these and other important particulars:
1 For the first time, it makes possible "Positive
Agitation" of floor coverings.
2 By actual test, in the ordinary cleaning time,
it beats out. and sweeps up from carpetings an
average of l:U per cent more dirt.
::S It is an even gre~ter rug saver; the . oftener a
carpet is cleaned with a Hoover the longer
that carpet will wear.
4 It. is virtually service-proof. every part, including the motor, requirin~ no oiling.
5 It increases the efficiency of its remarkable
dusting tools because of 1ts 50 per cent stronger suction.

6 ltE exclusive dust-and germ-proof bag is now
washable.
7 Its form and finish arf' of startling beauty, and
every new fe&amp;ture msures greater oper'ating
ease.
Nothing like it has ever been available before.
Let us show vou Th; GRI&lt;~ATER HOOVER in
your own home, on ) our own rugs. It is still only
$6.25 down. with the balance in easy monthly
payments.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By ' F. ·A. WALKER
MASTERING SELF

SOME FISH DISHES

Tho Arch of Galerlus In Salonlkl.

lS£1 are always In season, fresh or

F canned,

(Prepared by the Natlona.l Geographic
Society, Wo.•hlngton, D . C. )

and many wholesome
di!';hP:-; may be prepared by nslng the
f;Pasonahle kinds of those whose
J&gt;rl&lt;-cs n:_'Tee with one's purse. There
1s no way or serving the firm-fleshed
fresh fish like roasting. Fill with the
tollowing stuffing and bake until very
tender:

HE greatest engineering enterprise undertaken in the Near
East during modern times Is to
be performed by Amel'icau engineers near ::laloniki, Greece.
Much of the Great Plain of Salonikl,
(or Plain of the Vardat·) lying to the
wesl unu to lbe uorlh of the city, is
like the Roman campagna, a c&lt;·:u.try
of swamps and frequently overftowea
land. I•'or centuries this over-moist
region has been the source of malaria
due to the millions of mosquitoes
which It breeds. Yet that portion of
the plain which Is dry is of wonderful
fertility, producing grain, cotton, and
tobacco to perfection. The enterprise will consist in draining the
swampy regions and protecting the
plain from overflows by controlling
several rivers, this work to cost between sixteen and seventeen million
dollars. In addition the course of the
Vardar river will be bodily shifted at
a cost of an additional ten million dollars, to protect Saloniki harbor from
t;llting.
/
By the undertaking, the Greek government will Itself become possessed
of approximately 180,000 acres of land
now submerged which, It is estimated,
will be worth $27,000,000; while other lands wlll be benefited by about
$11,000,000 and will swell the taxes.
The Salonlkl plain has been famous
through the ages. This level region
was the heart of Macedonia, and there
Alexander was born. The devastating
MacedonJan phalanx there learned Its
evolutions.
At Phlllppi, near by,
Caesar and Pompey fought their important battle. Xerxes crossed this
plain with his huge army of Persians
to strike at the Grecian city states;
Inter Mlthrldates traveled the same
road to meet the Romans. Saloniki

she is unique umong American women

Yet compared to its two great neighbors, Athens and Constantinople,
Salonlki is relatively a modern town.
l!'oumled originally as an Ionian colony. the place was first known as
The.1.. ;:, no: 'rll('ratn, from the hot
springs which still exist in that eastern district of the bay.
The present town was founded about
315 B. C. by King Kassander or Macedon, and named after his wife, Thessalonlke, half sister to Alexander the
Great. The adjoining peninsula ot
Kassandra takes Its name from the
king himself, who· founded another
city on its shore.
Under the Romans, Salonlkl grew
greatly In importance. Mac1e a frP.&amp;

names nss"&gt;clnte tlu•mselvrs with the
town. Cicero lived there for a time 1n
exile.
During the Byzantine period Salor.id
became the second city of the empire.
Its situation made It the commercial
capital of the•Balkan peninsula, and It
rivaled Constuntlnople as a port of
traffic between eastern Europe and
Alexandria.
Salonlki has been compared to
Genoa. But one's first Impression Is or

And there Is even something faintly
Italian about her. This Is most palpable on the broad quay of the water

CHAPTER VI-Continued
-7"Have we failed In any Important
yenture since our association began?"
"You ha' a head on your shoulders,"
conceded Flint.
"And you have not," amendt&gt;d Murray. "No, do not say any more. You
are an excellent man to handle your
ahlp, Flint, and as fearless as nny of
our ruffians; but you are no more ca·
pable of looking ahead a week or two
than Ben Gunu."
"Well, what would you1" Fllnt flung
at him with an air of defiance, which
Murray Ignored.
'I would make the greatest coup we
have attempted."
Flint laughed disagreeably.
"So you !'aid when you arranged to
go Into New York, but you have car·
rled back no trensure with you."
My unrle regnrded him with what,
under other circumstances, I shoul&lt;l
de~crlhe as honest Indignation.
''You fool!" he said with a rasp In
his volceo--nnd I did not wonder that
Flint pulled sidewise In his chair as

"KnowledgP, fool!

That which wise ml'n labor a lifetime
to Aecure and the Ignorant pass by In
the 1n1tter.''
Murray rose from the table and com·
menced to stroll the length of the
cabin, hands clasped under the skirts
ot his coat. And as he strolled he
talked. Flint followed his every move
uneasily, with orcaslonal drafts of
rum. Peter and I watched the two
of them, fascinated by this conflict
of wllls, which wus to exert a vital
.lntluence upon , our llves-yes, and
upon those of hundreds of others.
''I must speak In simple terms, I
perceive, Flint," began my great·
uncle.
The passion was out of his voice,
and the sentence trickled from his
lips slowly, with an air of detachment.
Flint nodded sullenly, seeing that
an anl:lwer was required.
"We have frequently discussed the
possibility of taking one of the SpanIsh treasure ships," continued Murray. "But we have never attempted
the project because we could not dis·
cover the date of sailing or the p01-t
wherein the treasure was embarked.
It hath been the cu~tom of the Span·
lards In recent years-In fact, since
the depredations ot Morgan and his
brethern to shift arb!trarlly the port
of embarkation from year to yenr, as
likewise to change the date of sailing.
One year the port would be Cartagena,
the next Chagres, the next Porto Bello,
the next even Vera Cruz. They have
been known to ship the year's produre
of the mines around Cape Horn. And
similarly the treasure ships, which
used formerly to saU invariably In
the ran of the year, now depart whenever it pleases the fancy of the coun·
ell of the Indies to fix a date."
He paused, and Flint rasped"So much Is known to all of us."
"I conceded ns much,'' answered
Murray smoothly. "What follows you
do not know. '\\'"hen we returned from
Madagascar-"
"'Twas against my advice,'' growled
Flint. "l"e play too much wi' politics.''
"'VIth polltlcs I Exactly,'' agreed
m:v great-uncle. "Well, perhaps I do.
'Tis true that so far I have obtained
trifling advanta~e from the sport, ex·
eluding one substantial fortune, this
vessel we are In nnd the information
which makes it possible for me to
take this year's treasure ship.''
Flint sat erect.
I caught my
breath. Peter, too, showed a gleam
of excitement in his little eyes that
twinkled from behind the ramparts
of flesh that masked his solemn face.
" - - me, Murray!" swore Flint.
''Do you say that in sober enrnest1
How-how much?" he quaYered.
"One million five hundred thousand
oounds.''

There wns a moment ot silence.
The rlran, goidl'n sunlight flooded
through the :;tern wlnduws and dup·
pled the polished surfnce of the table
with darting molts and beams. Flint's
jnw dropped on his che:;t. His green
eyes glared. Peter and I were as
dazed as himself. Only my grent·
uncle rPmnlned calm, paring quietly
up and down the carpeted deck, eyes
fixed upon some distant vi~lon of the
future.
'
"A 11-th at 7" stammered Flint.
"'Sdeath! 'Twould be the greatest
haul In our time, Murray.''
"It Is ours," affirmed Murray. "Up·
on terms."
"Term~?"
echoed Flint.
"What
terms? Who can compel us to tl'!"ms?"
My ~rreat-uncle caJille to a stop In
front of him.
":\[y terms, let us say," he an·
swerPd.
"But lf ye know or yomself where
It can he taken why must we bothPr
wl' tPrrns. Murray?" clamored Flint.
"What's riC'hes for us can be pare&lt;l
clown to short cut~ If It must be
Rhar&lt;&gt;d out right and left. It we take
lt, why not takp all?"
"Because," rt&gt;torted Murray with a
hurst of terrible energy, "I have
pn~~ed my word as to the tPrms upon
wh!C'h thP treasure is to be taken."
"What's your word?" rapped Flint.
For a moment I thought my greatuncle would strike him. He made to
draw back his arm. and perspiration
stood out In white heads upon hi~
forehPad. Flint feared It, too, but
did not raise a hand to protect him·
self, charmed to Immobility by the
virulence of the basilisk's stare which
Murray directed at him.
"It Is my word," said Murray fi.
nally In a very soft voice.
"No
more, Flint. A poor thing. as the
poet hath !laid, yet my own I Also
-that I may chime In harmony with
your mental proce~ses-it happens
that my personal Interests nre bound
up with the observance ot these
terms.
"It Is a matter we will not discuss
furthPr, since It Is bpyond the range
of your comprehension. I shall merely say that the terms are fixed, and
that you will either accept or reject
them."
"\Vhat are they?"
"As to division of the spoils? One
hundrl'd thousand pounds to myself
as nuthor and architect of the plan;
se'&lt;'en hur&gt;drcd thousnntl to ~ur l\vfJ
ships; alld seYen hundred thousand
to my friends ·who co-operated with
me to make it possible."
Flint brought his fist crashing
down upon the table.
"I'll be - - If I accept !" he
shouted. "What? Less than halt to
our company? And you sneaking off
with a cool hundred thousand pounds
In your pockets, and your friends, as
like as not, splitting secretly with
you!"
My great-uncle re-freshed hlmselt
with snuff, contriving to invest the
ceremony with an effect of distaste
which I found amusing.
"Stap me, but you have a low
mind!" he drawled. "Allow me to
direct your attention to the fact that
the plan amounts to my friends and
I undertaking voluntarily to present
you an opportunity to participate in
the division of seven hundred thousand pounds, for which you will be
called npon to do nothing except
agree to follow out several stipulations I shall lay down."
"Let's hear 'em.''
My great-uncle ticked off tbe items
upon his finger-tips.
"l!'irst, 'tis highlv desirable that we
should lie low during the ensuing
months. Activities such as we usually
conduct would tend to affright the
council of the Indies and bring about
a change In plan for the treasure
ship's sailing."
''\Vhat shall we do, then?"
"My counsel Is to bear up for Spyglass Island and careen there. Both
ships are foul, and 'twill prove an excellent opportunity to make all clean
and right."
Flint nodded.
"\Ve shalt need our speed against
the Spaniard." he commented.
"I shall," returned my great-unc1e
with some emphasis. "This brings
me to my second point. 'Tis advisable that we do not cruise In com·
pany for the treasure. I aim to inter·
cept the Santisslma Trinidad before
she passes from the Caribbean Into
the Atlantic."
The blue look became intensified ln
Flint's face.
"You'd leave the Walrus behind?"
he demanded.
"I must. Figure lt for yourself,"
argued my relative. "Two tall ships
plying the narrow seas, within easy
sail of Jamaica and the Havana and
:\Iarmico! We should haYe the fl'lg·
ates after us In no time. My plan Is
to ma~qaerade as a king's ship, running ftom any ugly customers who
show themselves."
"Aye,'' said Flint. "And after you'd
taken the treasure and stowed lt all
below hatches what thought would
you give to us aboard the Walrus,
eh? You'd be up and orr, and we
might whistle for our share."
"You wrong me, Captain l•'llnt," re·
piled my great-uncle simply,
But !&lt;'lint ~ave an uglf laugh. It

mlghJ; J.e the rum \&gt;r the stimulus of
the d£&gt;hate or a Krndual acce -s of self·
reliance: IJnt he was no longer to be
cowr-d by moral suasion.
"If I wrong you, Murray, 'twoul!l
be tht&gt; first time without ,-nllrl cuus~&gt;,"
he rejoined. ''Come, come I You mu:;t
think of n·e better than that. It won't
wash.
What you say sounds well
enouch. It may he true.
But I
coudn't go tJack and report It to a
fo'csle counsel on the \Vulrus and
expect to ha&gt;e It belleYed. I have
to IJllnk myself when I think of ft.
- - !" He grinned e' 1lly. "I know
what I'd do In your shoes.''
My great-uncle regarded him speculatlvely.
"What, then, is your answer?" Murray Inquired.
"I don't play on tho~e terms," returned Flint with decision. "Let me
crulse with you, hn~ share in tak·
ing the prize, and I'll talk differently."
Murray shook his head.
" 'Twould ruin the plan. I know
you, Flint. 'Tis not in ~·ou to cruise
for days and forego fat merchants
that cross your bows. ripe to be
plucked. No, I can't risk lt. Alone,
I can contrive not to attract atten·
tlon. In company, we should stir up
a hornet's nest."
"Curse me for a canting mugger,
then, lf I'll trade on-It," snarled Flint.
"1'11 not trust you, Murray, and that's
fla,J:."
"Suppose that I gave you a host·

"I accept, for thnt I can do no bet·

"I'm no negro !!lOll to be bargained

For an Instant Flint appeared to he
about to object to this view, but he
evidently decided it was not worth
another dispute.
"Let it go," he assented ~rruffiy.
"We'll settle the &lt;letalls at the h1land.

gained the deck and shouted for his

CHAPTER VII
A Wicked Old Man's Dream
My great-uncle sank Into his chair
with a gesture of disgust and poured
three fingers of brandy Into a wineglass.
'" Phaugh f" he exclaimed.
"At
times I am nauseated by the company
perforce I keep."
I laughed, and he put the glass from
his !Ips, peering at me across lts rim
as if surprised.
"You find occasion for mirth In my
remark, Robert?"
"No,'' I salcl; "I am only expressing
to you my feeling that you have as

Witches Had Regular Periods for Meeting
In the Middle ages "covent" or "convent" was used to describe a religious
assembly. Hence "Covent Garden,"
from the garden of a convent that
once stood on the site of the famous
London fruit and flower market. By
degrees "coven" came to be used to
describe any gathering of twelve people with a lender. In the case of
witches, it came to stand for a company of twelve, with their chief lm·
personating or representing the devil.
In England, every district seems to
have had Its coven, and local meetlogs were usually held once a week;
but the "Sabbath of ·witches,'' held
four times a year, and usually on a
Thursday, for some strange reason,
was the more important of the gath·

RECORDS OF .CIVIUZED RACE
OF 4,000 YEARS AGO FOUND
Hurrl, Hitherto Unknown, Sought In
Vain to Prevent Rise of
Capitalism.
Phlladelphla.-Records of an anc!E'nt race, whose cl\·lli:z;atlon &gt;led
with that of the Hittites' and EgyptiaM as they livPd In the shadow of
the Tower of Babel, were reYealed by
spenkE'rf&lt; before the Am~ricnn Orl~­
tnl ~oclety.
Dr. E. A. Speiser nnd Prof. Edward
C'hlera of the University of l'ennsyiYanla made the report after a year
of study of a thou~and clay tablets
unco\ered In southern :\Iesopotamla.
The race, ~aid to haYe existed 4,!Xl0
year.- ago. heretofore. had been unlmown to at·cheologists. It !'i; known
as the Hurri, and the trnn~latlon of
the tablets was expected by the :-;a,-ants attending the meeting to add 11
mew page to ancient history.
"This race," said Doctor Speiser,

"had a law against the direct sale ot
land. However, much as they tried to
legislate against the growth of a capitalistic class, the efl'ort failed.· Land
owners adopted those whose land they
wished to obtain. .t\.S a result huge
land tracts were under one family's
jurisdiction.
A man had a perfect
right to kill his slaves, sutrering no
consequences whateYer."
The tablets, the translation of which
hns just been completed, cover a period
of fi"l"e generations in one family.
Report of the discovery of two
hut'ial tablets. tending to bear out the
tmrlitional story of the burial of the
bodies of Pt:ter and Paul by Orientals
on the App~an \Yay, near Home. as
related in the apocryphal writings,
was made by Prof. Romaine Newbold.
The tablets, he said, bearing Aramaic inscriptions, were found in the
C'hurcll of San Sebastian, on the Via
Appla, about three miles t.rom Rome.

(

They are declared to be the first Inscriptions in Aramaic found in Italy,
and prove, he believes, there were
Orientals In Italy during the First
century of the Christian era.
E:~:cavators found the tablets burled
30 feet deep.
Translation revealed
that they were placed there by an
Oriental slave woman named Pecora,
who burled her master and mistress
there and who erected the tablets as
grave markers. The master and mistress of this slave, Professor Newbold
belleves, were early Christians of the
so-called Gnostic sect which tried to
gain control of the Roman ctmrcn.
Professor Newbold said the earliest
date on which the burial of Peter and
Paul by Orientals is recorded ls
around 258 A. D. and that the tradition has been accepted by the Roman
Catholic church.
Latin ~nscrlptions
Invoking the blessings of Peter and
Paul hy the earlier Christians of the
Third and Fourth centuries have been
found frequently. None of them, how·
ever, attests to the presence or Orlen·
tals.

He wns very prou~ of hlmf&lt;elf fliT he
had found the beehive all by hlmselt.
He hnd been off hunting the day bGfore and had seen n great numy bees
flying nnil huzzl ng nil around.
"There must be houey," he said to
himself, as he stood on his haunches
and looked about him.
"Yes, I cun smell It," he sottly
growled.
"Oh, won't 1\Irs. Grizzly be pleased?
And we will have the little ones cat 1t
without being stung I"
It was a pretty good joke for Old
Grizzly to call the smaller bears "little ones" for they were big nnd strong
and had been well brought up by their
mother.
They could have won any fight-she
was sure of that-It they were at·
tacked, and M for beauty and wonderful fur, she was sure there hnd
never been any bears llke hers be-

tore.
"Gr-r-r," growled Olcl Grizzly.
Mrs. Grizzly knew that some special
feast was In sight, the way Old Grizzly
had growled.
For to the bears, some growls mean
very pleasant news, Indeed.
Mrs. Grizzly woke up the children
who were sleeping !'loundly, nn&lt;l oft
they followed, Old Grizzly leading thA
way.
First he stopped by a tree and hPcl~ ·
oned to Mrs. Grizzly to keep well bnclr,
Then he climbed up and with one ot

bees could not h rt t11cm any more.
And then! In he went ntter the
honey-comb and proudly brought it
out tor Mrs.
Grizzly and the
children.
Ah, such a f.east
as they hnd.
But poor Old
Grizzly had been

As the pain began to 1 ve Old Gt1z..

mouths and llcked their paws, they
all growled.
"It has been a mighty happy dny."
"Denr Old Grizzly has made 1t so,"
said Mrs. Grizzly. "lTor you, my
dear," said Old Grizzly, "and with my
sweetest wishes for many happy and
sweet returns of the day."
Then the children growled their best
birthday growl for their mother, as
their father had suggested.
Thls Is 1t:
Growl, growl, growl,

Replacing Brake Lining
Is Not Difficult Task
To replace a brake lining, the bands
or shoes are taken off, the axle is
placed In a vis€', while the rivets are
knocked off with a cold chisel or hammer. New strip« of the lining fabric
are cut to sizE.'. R€'ginnlng then at one
end of the strip, two or three r ivet
holes are locatE&gt;d with a blue pencil
and cut with a punch, after which the
fabric is put in position on the shoe.
:Medium hard ri\'ets, to prevent scor·
ing of the drums, are passed through
the holes and are then headed down
securely nt the baclc of the band.
They must be sunk well into the :tabrlc
lining, so that no projections are left.
With the strip held tightly to prevent
wrinkling, nnd with the band at its
original curvature, the nE'xt hole Ia
marked, punched and riveted ln the
same way.
The operator simply keeps on
around until the entire strip of lining
is riveted down Into place on the shoe.
The braking systems ot our modern
cars are efficient enough under ordinary circumstances, but they are not
power'ful enough to allow a margin
for slack maintenance. They must be
kept right up to the mark, and systematic inspections and r€'palrs when
needed are dictated by common sense.

Lost Compression Quite
Disagreeable to Driver
Do not allow your engine to lose
compression. It Is disagreeable to the
good driver and creates a larger running expense, causinr loss of fuel and
power. The careful motorists will
check up on compression in each
cylinder at regular Intervals, opening
all priming cups or removing all spark
plugs, one at a time, and revolving
crank. If the cylinder which bas its
priming cup closed or plug Inserted
resists to a good extent his el'forts to
revolve the engine, that cylinder bas
good compression. All cylinders can
be tested in the same manner, closlng
priming cups and replacing spark
plugs in each cylinder when the test
Is completed.
There are otber
methods ror testing, such as llstening
for hissing noises on compression
strokes of pistons, allowing the car to
go down hill with ignipon turned off
and with transmission In low or second speeds to note the resistance o:t
the movement of the car which each
cylinder offers, or a compression
gauge may be used.

Getting Out of Sand
When a car is dl'iven into a sandy
spot in the road and the rear wheels
spin there is no use In keeping on
spinning them. The more the wheels
spin the deeper the car sinks In the
sand and the more difficult It wlll be
to 11:et it out. Ie no rope or burlap Is
available, defiate the tires and with

the new HOOVER, here announced for the first
time&gt;, to any ('arlier method of home cleaning and
ru :. care!
Nearly 2,000,000 moJern homes have found The
Hoover of standard design the most efficient cleaning instt·ument yet devised.
But good as it is. the new design Hoover far surpasses it, in these and other important particulars:
1 For the first time, it makes possible "Positive
Agitation" of floor coverings.
2 By actual test, in the ordinary cleaning time,
it beats out. and sweeps up from carpetings an
average of l:U per cent more dirt.
::S It is an even gre~ter rug saver; the . oftener a
carpet is cleaned with a Hoover the longer
that carpet will wear.
4 It. is virtually service-proof. every part, including the motor, requirin~ no oiling.
5 It increases the efficiency of its remarkable
dusting tools because of 1ts 50 per cent stronger suction.

6 ltE exclusive dust-and germ-proof bag is now
washable.
7 Its form and finish arf' of startling beauty, and
every new fe&amp;ture msures greater oper'ating
ease.
Nothing like it has ever been available before.
Let us show vou Th; GRI&lt;~ATER HOOVER in

1s no way or serving the firm-fleshed
fresh fish like roasting. Fill with the
tollowing stuffing and bake until very
tender:

HE greatest engineering enterprise undertaken in the Near
East during modern times Is to
be performed by Amel'icau engineers near ::laloniki, Greece.
Much of the Great Plain of Salonikl,
(or Plain of the Vardat·) lying to the
wesl unu to lbe uorlh of the city, is
like the Roman campagna, a c&lt;·:u.try
of swamps and frequently overftowea
land. I•'or centuries this over-moist
region has been the source of malaria
due to the millions of mosquitoes
which It breeds. Yet that portion of
the plain which Is dry is of wonderful
fertility, producing grain, cotton, and
tobacco to perfection. The enterprise will consist in draining the
swampy regions and protecting the
plain from overflows by controlling
several rivers, this work to cost between sixteen and seventeen million
dollars. In addition the course of the
Vardar river will be bodily shifted at
a cost of an additional ten million dollars, to protect Saloniki harbor from
t;llting.
/
By the undertaking, the Greek government will Itself become possessed
of approximately 180,000 acres of land
now submerged which, It is estimated,
will be worth $27,000,000; while other lands wlll be benefited by about
$11,000,000 and will swell the taxes.
The Salonlkl plain has been famous
through the ages. This level region
was the heart of Macedonia, and there
Alexander was born. The devastating
MacedonJan phalanx there learned Its
evolutions.
At Phlllppi, near by,
Caesar and Pompey fought their important battle. Xerxes crossed this
plain with his huge army of Persians
to strike at the Grecian city states;
Inter Mlthrldates traveled the same
road to meet the Romans. Saloniki
city, then Thessalonika, flourished during New Testament times. Paul labored there and had to flee for his
life. The Byzantines, then the Venetians controlled the port; and finally
it fell to the Turk and remained under
his heel for four centuries.

place In a very hot oven. Allow 12
minutes to the pound for cooking and
baste three or four times during the
cooking. Cook together one tablespoonful each of butter and flour,

Founded by Kassander of Macedon.

Yet compared to its two great neighbors, Athens and Constantinople,
Salonlki is relatively a modern town.
l!'oumled originally as an Ionian colony. the place was first known as
The.1.. ;:, no: 'rll('ratn, from the hot
springs which still exist in that eastern district of the bay.
The present town was founded about
315 B. C. by King Kassander or Macedon, and named after his wife, Thessalonlke, half sister to Alexander the
Great. The adjoining peninsula ot
Kassandra takes Its name from the
king himself, who· founded another
city on its shore.
Under the Romans, Salonlkl grew
greatly In importance. Mac1e a frP.&amp;
city, the capital of the surrounding 1 &lt;
glon, it became the borne of many noman eolon!Rts, and not a few famous
names nss"&gt;clnte tlu•mselvrs with the
town. Cicero lived there for a time 1n
exile.
During the Byzantine period Salor.id
became the second city of the empire.
Its situation made It the commercial
capital of the•Balkan peninsula, and It
rivaled Constuntlnople as a port of
traffic between eastern Europe and
Alexandria.
Salonlki has been compared to
Genoa. But one's first Impression Is or
a disappointing flatness, not in th&amp;
least comparable to the lofty air--thepiled, bastioned, heaven-scaling atro1 the Itallau city.
Yet Salonlkl

And there Is even something faintly
Italian about her. This Is most palpable on the broad quay of the water
front, especially when a veritable row
of fishermen from the Adriatic are
drying nets or salls under the sen wan,
just as they do In Venice. The crescPnt of white hulldlngR facfng the blue

CHAPTER VI-Continued
-7"Have we failed In any Important
yenture since our association began?"
"You ha' a head on your shoulders,"
conceded Flint.
"And you have not," amendt&gt;d Murray. "No, do not say any more. You
are an excellent man to handle your
ahlp, Flint, and as fearless as nny of
our ruffians; but you are no more ca·
pable of looking ahead a week or two
than Ben Gunu."
"Well, what would you1" Fllnt flung
at him with an air of defiance, which
Murray Ignored.
'I would make the greatest coup we
have attempted."
Flint laughed disagreeably.
"So you !'aid when you arranged to
go Into New York, but you have car·
rled back no trensure with you."
My unrle regnrded him with what,
under other circumstances, I shoul&lt;l
de~crlhe as honest Indignation.
''You fool!" he said with a rasp In
his volceo--nnd I did not wonder that
Flint pulled sidewise In his chair as
If to avoid a ~tab. "Did you think
I was to go Into thnt huddle of a town,

"KnowledgP, fool!

That which wise ml'n labor a lifetime
to Aecure and the Ignorant pass by In
the 1n1tter.''
Murray rose from the table and com·
menced to stroll the length of the
cabin, hands clasped under the skirts
ot his coat. And as he strolled he
talked. Flint followed his every move
uneasily, with orcaslonal drafts of
rum. Peter and I watched the two
of them, fascinated by this conflict
of wllls, which wus to exert a vital
.lntluence upon , our llves-yes, and
upon those of hundreds of others.
''I must speak In simple terms, I
perceive, Flint," began my great·
uncle.
The passion was out of his voice,
and the sentence trickled from his
lips slowly, with an air of detachment.
Flint nodded sullenly, seeing that
an anl:lwer was required.
"We have frequently discussed the
possibility of taking one of the SpanIsh treasure ships," continued Murray. "But we have never attempted
the project because we could not dis·
cover the date of sailing or the p01-t
wherein the treasure was embarked.
It hath been the cu~tom of the Span·
lards In recent years-In fact, since
the depredations ot Morgan and his
brethern to shift arb!trarlly the port
of embarkation from year to yenr, as
likewise to change the date of sailing.
One year the port would be Cartagena,
the next Chagres, the next Porto Bello,
the next even Vera Cruz. They have
been known to ship the year's produre
of the mines around Cape Horn. And
similarly the treasure ships, which
used formerly to saU invariably In
the ran of the year, now depart whenever it pleases the fancy of the coun·
ell of the Indies to fix a date."
He paused, and Flint rasped"So much Is known to all of us."
"I conceded ns much,'' answered
Murray smoothly. "What follows you
do not know. '\\'"hen we returned from
Madagascar-"
"'Twas against my advice,'' growled
Flint. "l"e play too much wi' politics.''
"'VIth polltlcs I Exactly,'' agreed
m:v great-uncle. "Well, perhaps I do.
'Tis true that so far I have obtained
trifling advanta~e from the sport, ex·
eluding one substantial fortune, this
vessel we are In nnd the information
which makes it possible for me to
take this year's treasure ship.''
Flint sat erect.
I caught my
breath. Peter, too, showed a gleam
of excitement in his little eyes that
twinkled from behind the ramparts
of flesh that masked his solemn face.
" - - me, Murray!" swore Flint.
''Do you say that in sober enrnest1
How-how much?" he quaYered.
"One million five hundred thousand
oounds.''

There wns a moment ot silence.
The rlran, goidl'n sunlight flooded
through the :;tern wlnduws and dup·
pled the polished surfnce of the table
with darting molts and beams. Flint's
jnw dropped on his che:;t. His green
eyes glared. Peter and I were as
dazed as himself. Only my grent·
uncle rPmnlned calm, paring quietly
up and down the carpeted deck, eyes
fixed upon some distant vi~lon of the
future.
'
"A 11-th at 7" stammered Flint.
"'Sdeath! 'Twould be the greatest
haul In our time, Murray.''
"It Is ours," affirmed Murray. "Up·
on terms."
"Term~?"
echoed Flint.
"What
terms? Who can compel us to tl'!"ms?"
My ~rreat-uncle caJille to a stop In
front of him.
":\[y terms, let us say," he an·
swerPd.
"But lf ye know or yomself where
It can he taken why must we bothPr
wl' tPrrns. Murray?" clamored Flint.
"What's riC'hes for us can be pare&lt;l
clown to short cut~ If It must be
Rhar&lt;&gt;d out right and left. It we take
lt, why not takp all?"
"Because," rt&gt;torted Murray with a
hurst of terrible energy, "I have
pn~~ed my word as to the tPrms upon
wh!C'h thP treasure is to be taken."
"What's your word?" rapped Flint.
For a moment I thought my greatuncle would strike him. He made to
draw back his arm. and perspiration
stood out In white heads upon hi~
forehPad. Flint feared It, too, but
did not raise a hand to protect him·
self, charmed to Immobility by the
virulence of the basilisk's stare which
Murray directed at him.
"It Is my word," said Murray fi.
nally In a very soft voice.
"No
more, Flint. A poor thing. as the
poet hath !laid, yet my own I Also
-that I may chime In harmony with
your mental proce~ses-it happens
that my personal Interests nre bound
up with the observance ot these
terms.
"It Is a matter we will not discuss
furthPr, since It Is bpyond the range
of your comprehension. I shall merely say that the terms are fixed, and
that you will either accept or reject
them."
"\Vhat are they?"
"As to division of the spoils? One
hundrl'd thousand pounds to myself
as nuthor and architect of the plan;
se'&lt;'en hur&gt;drcd thousnntl to ~ur l\vfJ
ships; alld seYen hundred thousand
to my friends ·who co-operated with
me to make it possible."
Flint brought his fist crashing
down upon the table.
"I'll be - - If I accept !" he
shouted. "What? Less than halt to
our company? And you sneaking off
with a cool hundred thousand pounds
In your pockets, and your friends, as
like as not, splitting secretly with
you!"
My great-uncle re-freshed hlmselt
with snuff, contriving to invest the
ceremony with an effect of distaste
which I found amusing.
"Stap me, but you have a low
mind!" he drawled. "Allow me to
direct your attention to the fact that
the plan amounts to my friends and
I undertaking voluntarily to present
you an opportunity to participate in
the division of seven hundred thousand pounds, for which you will be
called npon to do nothing except
agree to follow out several stipulations I shall lay down."
"Let's hear 'em.''
My great-uncle ticked off tbe items
upon his finger-tips.
"l!'irst, 'tis highlv desirable that we
should lie low during the ensuing
months. Activities such as we usually
conduct would tend to affright the
council of the Indies and bring about
a change In plan for the treasure
ship's sailing."
''\Vhat shall we do, then?"
"My counsel Is to bear up for Spyglass Island and careen there. Both
ships are foul, and 'twill prove an excellent opportunity to make all clean
and right."
Flint nodded.
"\Ve shalt need our speed against
the Spaniard." he commented.
"I shall," returned my great-unc1e
with some emphasis. "This brings
me to my second point. 'Tis advisable that we do not cruise In com·
pany for the treasure. I aim to inter·
cept the Santisslma Trinidad before
she passes from the Caribbean Into
the Atlantic."
The blue look became intensified ln
Flint's face.
"You'd leave the Walrus behind?"
he demanded.
"I must. Figure lt for yourself,"
argued my relative. "Two tall ships
plying the narrow seas, within easy
sail of Jamaica and the Havana and
:\Iarmico! We should haYe the fl'lg·
ates after us In no time. My plan Is
to ma~qaerade as a king's ship, running ftom any ugly customers who
show themselves."
"Aye,'' said Flint. "And after you'd
taken the treasure and stowed lt all
below hatches what thought would
you give to us aboard the Walrus,
eh? You'd be up and orr, and we
might whistle for our share."
"You wrong me, Captain l•'llnt," re·
piled my great-uncle simply,
But !&lt;'lint ~ave an uglf laugh. It

cowr-d by moral suasion.
"If I wrong you, Murray, 'twoul!l
be tht&gt; first time without ,-nllrl cuus~&gt;,"
he rejoined. ''Come, come I You mu:;t
think of n·e better than that. It won't
wash.
What you say sounds well
enouch. It may he true.
But I
coudn't go tJack and report It to a
fo'csle counsel on the \Vulrus and
expect to ha&gt;e It belleYed. I have
to IJllnk myself when I think of ft.
- - !" He grinned e' 1lly. "I know
what I'd do In your shoes.''
My great-uncle regarded him speculatlvely.
"What, then, is your answer?" Murray Inquired.
"I don't play on tho~e terms," returned Flint with decision. "Let me
crulse with you, hn~ share in tak·
ing the prize, and I'll talk differently."
Murray shook his head.
" 'Twould ruin the plan. I know
you, Flint. 'Tis not in ~·ou to cruise
for days and forego fat merchants
that cross your bows. ripe to be
plucked. No, I can't risk lt. Alone,
I can contrive not to attract atten·
tlon. In company, we should stir up
a hornet's nest."
"Curse me for a canting mugger,
then, lf I'll trade on-It," snarled Flint.
"1'11 not trust you, Murray, and that's
fla,J:."
"Suppose that I gave you a host·
age?" suggested my great-uncle ten-

hundred thousand pounds, to he ellvldrd share and Rhnre hr the two
t:hips' compnnle!:l, and plur comJ)an~will Incur no risk to win lt."
l~llnt ro&gt;'&lt;e and settled his belt.
"I accept, for thnt I can do no bet·
ter," he suld. "But I must ha\·e the
hostnge." He snapped his finger toward me-.
"Come on, my lad. We'll show you
the life of real gentlemen adventurers abonr&lt;l the \Vnlrus."
"I'm no negro !!lOll to be bargained
ovpr and passed trom ~wner to
owner!" I e::s:cla!med hotly. "You can
make me go, but I'll not step willlnglr."
Flint was about to an~wer with a
spurt of oaths when Murray Inter·
rupted.
"You anticipate mattPrs," he rebul.:ed his associate. '"There I~ no occa~lon for a hostage yet.
\Ve shall
sal! at once for the Rendezvous. It
will he wePks, aye, months, before I
r am In shape to sal! west under llls·
panioln. Time enough then to talk
of delivering your hostage."
For an Instant Flint appeared to he
about to object to this view, but he
evidently decided it was not worth
another dispute.
"Let it go," he assented ~rruffiy.
"We'll settle the &lt;letalls at the h1land.
D--n me-" this with a sudden revival of friendliness- "I knew we had
not picked up that red-headed lad for
nothing! 'Tis a sure sign o' luck."
And out he swaggered from the
cabin, stamping and banging the door
und sprinkling curses freely as he
gained the deck and shouted for his
boat's c:rew to row him back to the
Walrus.

CHAPTER VII
A Wicked Old Man's Dream
My great-uncle sank Into his chair
with a gesture of disgust and poured
three fingers of brandy Into a wineglass.
'" Phaugh f" he exclaimed.
"At
times I am nauseated by the company
perforce I keep."
I laughed, and he put the glass from
his !Ips, peering at me across lts rim
as if surprised.
"You find occasion for mirth In my
remark, Robert?"
"No,'' I salcl; "I am only expressing
to you my feeling that you have as
;-little claim to possession -of a sense
of honor as the man who

Murray's large face, with Its powerful, craggy features, glowed with
the radiance of an intense personal
conviction.
"What Is honor?

Witches Had Regular Periods for Meeting
In the Middle ages "covent" or "convent" was used to describe a religious
assembly. Hence "Covent Garden,"
from the garden of a convent that
once stood on the site of the famous
London fruit and flower market. By
degrees "coven" came to be used to
describe any gathering of twelve people with a lender. In the case of
witches, it came to stand for a company of twelve, with their chief lm·
personating or representing the devil.
In England, every district seems to
have had Its coven, and local meetlogs were usually held once a week;
but the "Sabbath of ·witches,'' held
four times a year, and usually on a
Thursday, for some strange reason,
was the more important of the gath·

Thrift Not Mere Saving
It Is well to understand that thrift

there would be what was called a
"Great Sabbath,'' at which all the

"If he does!" I jeered. "I maiTel

"Hardly7 Why do you sny thllt"l"
"Oh, an end to your shabby deceits
and subterfuge !" I shouted. "I ha'

stomach your treatment of me, 1\lur·
ray.. But to expose a slip of a girl,
scarce more than a ch ild, to life on

My great-uncle pursed his Ups.
"What a vehement youth I As to
the maicl's Inclusion in our scheme,
'twas manifestly of the chlefest Importance thnt Colonel O'Donnell's connection with me be not suspected.
And the best way to cloak that was
to have his daughter accompany him.''
"But why?" I persisted. "Why all
this devious cleceit? Why mix a young
maid In an unsavory Intrigue? Why
make her father disloyal to his master?"
Murray flushed crimson.
"Ile Is not disloyal to his master,"
he replied with hls first show of
anger. "Colonel O'Donnell's master,

There was that about his rage
which benumbed my own and awnk·
ened nga in the rei uctant admiration
which puzzled and embarrassed me.
What was 1t my father had said of
him?
"He Is sincere In a queer, twisted
way."
Past doubt, he wns. I sensed a
warped nobility or mind which stirred
me to sympathy and pity. I felt of
a sn rlrl••n ns if our places had been
reversed, as If his white hoirs were
mine, anrl his my unlined face.
"Perhaps I am a fool,'' I said. "Yet
if I know nothing of your plan and
so am incllned to misconstrue it,
whose fault is that?"
He dropped knife and fork and
fixed me with his eyes, so marvelou!&lt;ly
alive anrl bt·ight in their setting of
crow's feet and wrinkles, so luminous
with youth.
"Those are the first words you have
spoken which have bad any tinge of
kindness to them,'' he answered. 'Tis
my fault you are so far ignorant,
Robert, and I will endeavor to repair
the error. I did not seek to delude
you when I told you I carried you

that I admit without hesitation I
must have your help before I can
achieve aught of my future plans !or

Robert, I need you at this time being
more than you can need me; and your

saw at a glance •twas n chart of the

RECORDS OF .CIVIUZED RACE
OF 4,000 YEARS AGO FOUND
Hurrl, Hitherto Unknown, Sought In
Vain to Prevent Rise of
Capitalism.
Phlladelphla.-Records of an anc!E'nt race, whose cl\·lli:z;atlon &gt;led
with that of the Hittites' and EgyptiaM as they livPd In the shadow of
the Tower of Babel, were reYealed by
spenkE'rf&lt; before the Am~ricnn Orl~­
tnl ~oclety.
Dr. E. A. Speiser nnd Prof. Edward
C'hlera of the University of l'ennsyiYanla made the report after a year
of study of a thou~and clay tablets
unco\ered In southern :\Iesopotamla.
The race, ~aid to haYe existed 4,!Xl0
year.- ago. heretofore. had been unlmown to at·cheologists. It !'i; known
as the Hurri, and the trnn~latlon of
the tablets was expected by the :-;a,-ants attending the meeting to add 11
mew page to ancient history.
"This race," said Doctor Speiser,

"had a law against the direct sale ot
land. However, much as they tried to
legislate against the growth of a capitalistic class, the efl'ort failed.· Land
owners adopted those whose land they
wished to obtain. .t\.S a result huge
land tracts were under one family's
jurisdiction.
A man had a perfect
right to kill his slaves, sutrering no
consequences whateYer."
The tablets, the translation of which
hns just been completed, cover a period
of fi"l"e generations in one family.
Report of the discovery of two
hut'ial tablets. tending to bear out the
tmrlitional story of the burial of the
bodies of Pt:ter and Paul by Orientals
on the App~an \Yay, near Home. as
related in the apocryphal writings,
was made by Prof. Romaine Newbold.
The tablets, he said, bearing Aramaic inscriptions, were found in the
C'hurcll of San Sebastian, on the Via
Appla, about three miles t.rom Rome.

(

They are declared to be the first Inscriptions in Aramaic found in Italy,
and prove, he believes, there were
Orientals In Italy during the First
century of the Christian era.
E:~:cavators found the tablets burled
30 feet deep.
Translation revealed
that they were placed there by an
Oriental slave woman named Pecora,
who burled her master and mistress
there and who erected the tablets as
grave markers. The master and mistress of this slave, Professor Newbold
belleves, were early Christians of the
so-called Gnostic sect which tried to
gain control of the Roman ctmrcn.
Professor Newbold said the earliest
date on which the burial of Peter and
Paul by Orientals is recorded ls
around 258 A. D. and that the tradition has been accepted by the Roman
Catholic church.

Third and Fourth centuries have been

"There must be houey," he said to

and looked about him.
"Yes, I cun smell It," he sottly
growled.
"Oh, won't 1\Irs. Grizzly be pleased?
And we will have the little ones cat 1t

It was a pretty good joke for Old
Grizzly to call the smaller bears "little ones" for they were big nnd strong
and had been well brought up by their
mother.
They could have won any fight-she
was sure of that-It they were at·
tacked, and M for beauty and wonderful fur, she was sure there hnd
never been any bears llke hers be-

"Gr-r-r," growled Olcl Grizzly.
Mrs. Grizzly knew that some special
feast was In sight, the way Old Grizzly
had growled.
For to the bears, some growls mean
very pleasant news, Indeed.
Mrs. Grizzly woke up the children
who were sleeping !'loundly, nn&lt;l oft
they followed, Old Grizzly leading thA
way.
First he stopped by a tree and hPcl~ ·

"Denr Old Grizzly has made 1t so,"
said Mrs. Grizzly. "lTor you, my

Then the children growled their best

their father had suggested.

Replacing Brake Lining
Is Not Difficult Task
To replace a brake lining, the bands
or shoes are taken off, the axle is
placed In a vis€', while the rivets are
knocked off with a cold chisel or hammer. New strip« of the lining fabric
are cut to sizE.'. R€'ginnlng then at one
end of the strip, two or three r ivet
holes are locatE&gt;d with a blue pencil
and cut with a punch, after which the
fabric is put in position on the shoe.
:Medium hard ri\'ets, to prevent scor·
ing of the drums, are passed through
the holes and are then headed down
securely nt the baclc of the band.
They must be sunk well into the :tabrlc
lining, so that no projections are left.
With the strip held tightly to prevent
wrinkling, nnd with the band at its
original curvature, the nE'xt hole Ia
marked, punched and riveted ln the
same way.
The operator simply keeps on
around until the entire strip of lining
is riveted down Into place on the shoe.
The braking systems ot our modern
cars are efficient enough under ordinary circumstances, but they are not
power'ful enough to allow a margin
for slack maintenance. They must be
kept right up to the mark, and systematic inspections and r€'palrs when
needed are dictated by common sense.

Lost Compression Quite
Disagreeable to Driver
Do not allow your engine to lose
compression. It Is disagreeable to the
good driver and creates a larger running expense, causinr loss of fuel and
power. The careful motorists will
check up on compression in each
cylinder at regular Intervals, opening
all priming cups or removing all spark
plugs, one at a time, and revolving
crank. If the cylinder which bas its
priming cup closed or plug Inserted
resists to a good extent his el'forts to
revolve the engine, that cylinder bas
good compression. All cylinders can
be tested in the same manner, closlng
priming cups and replacing spark
plugs in each cylinder when the test
Is completed.
There are otber
methods ror testing, such as llstening
for hissing noises on compression
strokes of pistons, allowing the car to
go down hill with ignipon turned off
and with transmission In low or second speeds to note the resistance o:t
the movement of the car which each
cylinder offers, or a compression
gauge may be used.

Getting Out of Sand
When a car is dl'iven into a sandy
spot in the road and the rear wheels
spin there is no use In keeping on
spinning them. The more the wheels
spin the deeper the car sinks In the
sand and the more difficult It wlll be
to 11:et it out. Ie no rope or burlap Is
available, defiate the tires and with
the gears in first E.'ngage the clutch
slowly. If this doesn't help, get two
wooden planks and place them behind
the rear wheels.

(Prepared by the United States Department
ot Agrlcultu'te.)
•

"Name your farm home" Is the alogan of a movement fostered by home
demonstration agents In Tenne~see for
the past four years. :More than 3,000
homes have already been named, according to a report received by the
United States Department of Agriculture. This year the idea Ia again beIng stre~d. as there are still many
homes which have not registered a distlnct!Ye name elttier with the extension service or the state department
of agriculture. The state recently
passed a law permitting such registry,
Farm home owners are urged to gl-re
some thought and trouble to the selection of the right name. It should be
dignified, suitable, lasting, not too common, easy to say, easy to read, and
easy to remember. It should appear
on the mall box or over it, or on n
signboard, or on the gate. It Is intended that It should be used on letterheads and on the label or anything
sold from the farm.
The naming of the farm home Is often the first step In general home Improvement. There Is an effort to live
up to the spirit which has been embodied In the new name. The Indirect
effect of the name can often be seen

Mr. C'~trter, by ending the pi·ellent
wasteful method of free distribution
which cannot supply all the demands

Best Time to Purchase
Different Dairy Feeds
A survey of the various feed markets Indicates that wheat bran usually
reaches bottom price In Jun-e, July and
August; llnMed on meal In May, June
and July; cottonseed meal In August,
September, January and February, and
gluten feed In May, June and July.
By making out their feed budgets accordingly and buying what feed they
need at the proper time, dairymen not
only can make an Important saving In
f~ed costs but also wlll probably :l'eed
a better ration, It Is pointed out by
C. S. Rhode, dairy extension specialist
of the college or agriculture, University of Illinois. Illinois dairymen
should, and do, produce most of the
feed that Is neces~ary for their cows,
but in most cases It i·3 advisable to
balance the home-grown grains with
high protein feeds. It therefore is to
the advantage of the dairymen to
study the feed markets and determine when these feeds can be bought
at the best price, he said.

Before the World war Esthonla had

regions, agriculturally, In Russia.
Though situated in northern Europe.
the country Is tempered by the farfaring Gulf stream. Another thing or
American origin- the potato- has
made Its deep mark on Esthonla, and
It has even been called flippantly, "the
Potato republlc." As a source of alcQo4
hoi the potnto has been most impor-tant economically to the country. Every large estate bas Its own distillery.
and before the World war great quantitles of the potent liquid were exported.
Rus:;;la was reluctant to have Esthonla set up housekeeping on its own
account. The country, about as large
as New Hampshire and Vermont cornhloed, blocks a considerablE' section
of western ·Russia, whereas It formed

an entirely new footing, but the most
recent statistics seem to show that
production is holding Its own.
Reval the Chief City.
Reval, known to the Esthonlans as

city. It has existed for 700 years.
With Helslngfors across the gulf, _It
formed tsar!st Russia's gateway and
first line of naval uefense to Petrograd; but to Esthonia, Its commercial
possibilities seem brightest.
As first seen from shipboard, Reval's skyline 1s an epitome of the
forces that have been at work upon
Esthonia. On a hill which rises above
the town is a citadel wall reminiscent,
of the G!o!rmans who took the country
I by the sword. On this height, too, are
the homes of many of the Bait nobles
who have descended from the German
Invaders. From the same hill a clump
of Gothic steeples pierces the sky, recalling the Swedish Invasion and the
Lutheran religion, which moat of the
Esthonians profess. Within the circle
of sharp spires are the queerly shaped,
glided domes of an orthodox: Russian
church, speaking of the efforts at Russiflcatlon which never bore much
:fruit. In the lower town are the homes
of the Esthoniuns--the stratum from
whlch the people have literally risen

SYNOPSIS
The story opens In New York,
about the middle ot the Eighteenth century. Robert Ormerod,
who tclla the tale, Is talking to
Peter Corlaer, chief of the traders,

and

man

ot

cnnrmous

strength, when Darby McGraw,
Irl1h bon&lt;led boy, brln1&gt;11 news
that a pirate ship Is "oft the
Hook." An old sea captain announces he has been chased by
the notorious pirate, Captain
Rip-Rap.
The older Ormerod
tella Robert the pirate Is Andrew
Murray, his (Robert's) greatuncle, commanding the pirate
Ehlp, the Royal James. Murray
Is an ardent Jacobite. Robert
meets a young woman from a
Spanish frigate who Is seeking
her father, Colonel O'Donnell.
Murray with a force of sailors
visits the Ormerod house. He
announcGa hla Intention of carrying oft Robert, by force, If
necessary, proml•lng him a great
tuturP. The Royal James and
the Walrus, the latter commanded by J&lt;'llnt, Murray's partner In
piracy, llPPear. Murray, Hobert
and Peter board the James. :1-Iurray otTers Flint a share In the
loot of a SpaniRh treasure ship
It he will co-oporato with him.
Flint Insists Robert be left with
him as a hostage, while Murray,
In the Royal James, takes the
treasure ship. The pirate vessels arrive at their rendezvous.

hoped 'twas that - - - - Flint come
a-seekln' mischief," he complained.
"Where Is Captain Murray?" I anSWf'retl.
"In his cabin."
And In the same mild manner he
continued to his men:
"To your stations.
Remember
cap'n's ord!'rs. Now these two are
aboard. ye'll firl' at any boat that approucll(~ nnd chnllen~e afterward."
'l'he nE&gt;gro lackeys stood aside as
we came to the cabin entrance under
the pr&gt;op; the door was open. Down

hand Peter and I could see my greatuncle rJ!tting at the table in the malo
cabin: a glass or wine at his elbow,
o_....rhurt &amp;prcad out b~:forc him.
· I recounted briefly our con~·ersatlon
with Flint und the detet·mlnation Peter
and I harl reached In consequence.
He nodded agreement with it.
"You did quite right, Robert. Peter
did not pxuggerate the dangers inherent In the situation."
"You w!ll excuse me," he went on,
"If I return to my studies. I have
much upon my mind."
We uade him good night and went
to our staterooms, weary enough from
the unwonted exercise of rowing. As
I shut my door I noted that he was
measuring distances In the Caribbean
with calipers, and jotting tlgures upon
the mnrgln o:f the chart.
In the morning all hands were oceup!ed with the taslc or ca~;eenlng the
ship. ''l'wa~ when the work was proceeding satisfactorily that my greatuncle hu de J\Iartln tell off a dozen
l1ands who were good shots and call
away the longboat.
"I marvel that you dare to IeaYe

bloodshed-for the time being, at any
rate. Our problem then will be to
turn Flint's mind to some undertalrlng which will divert his attention and
occupy him until we nE&gt;ed no longer
be concerned for his whimsies."
• We landed south o:f the first river
below where Flint's party had held
their carouse, and proceeded Inland
through a wooded valley, with hills
rising to right and left of us and the
Spyglass towering ln the distance.
'l'he day was very clear, and the mountain's summit was a gray cone against
the blue of the sky. Even our sullen,
hangdog escort of seamen became almost cheery under the influence of
their changed surroundings, and with
the sight of their tlrst goat they began
to whoop nod shout like schoolboys.
:Murray, despite his age, was as spry
as the youngest of us, and be never
wasted a shot.
\\·e had maintained a brisk pace
on our wandering::!, and we reached
thP ~ite of the spring well before
sunset. My great-uncle surveyed the
situation with a calculating eye, estimated the stand of timber on the hill's
sides, and exclaimed that there was
no neighboring eminence ·whence an
enemy could command it.
" 'Tis all you have asserted It to
be," he said. "Moreover, it gives me
au idea of a way In "·hich we may
occupy the energies of Captain Flint
and his lambs for the ensuing weeks
of our stay."
A thread of smoke trickled up beside the mouth of the rl~ulet In the
woods along the estuary, and I Indicated it to him.
"'There Is Flint," I said.

"Yes," he replied absently, and kept
on.
'l'he llhadows wE&gt;re lengthening as
we lltepped out of the forest Into a
glade on the river's hnnk. ~everal
additional fires had been kindled, and
around each were huddled groups of
pirates much the worse for the last
night's drlnking-hout.
John Silver
was the only m:m who appeared to
have any anlmntlon left in him.
'Twas he first saw us, and evidently
spoke to Flint, who sat with Bones
and several other cronies at the
smnllest of the fires. IIe swung toward us as Flint rose unsteadily and

"Three, captain. And main lucky

Ii'llnt lurched up beside him.
"Stow that, John," ~owled his captain. "I'll do the tnlkln'. What's
your trouhle, Murray?"
My great-uncle took a pinch of snuff
with his Inimitable knack of expressIng acute disgust without moving a
muscle of his fuce.
"I have been a-hunting," he replied.
"Shooting for the pot. We stopped
on the way to our boat to pass the
time o' day with you, Fllnt."
Flint snorted.
"Time o' day! II-I! 'Taln't llke you
to take the trouble."
"I am a person or most uncertain
proclivities," replied my great-uncle.
"I hear from Sliver that last night's
episode was accompanied by the usual
fatalities."
"Three," asf:ented Fllnt. "Two o'
'em could be spared-lousy dogs. The
other was Toby Welsh, as stout a fellow as we had."
"Not bad for one night's work.''
commented Murray.
Flint was obviously In no very bel·
l!gerent mood ; he could scarce stand.
But he flnmeu up at this.
"Aye, and what d'ye expect? How
many months did ye tell me I must
hide here wl' a crew that knows
naught but how to brew the dev!l's
broth? And how many men d'ye think
wlll be alive by the end of the time?
Gut me, but 'twill be llke the song

"I fear It will," agreed my greatuncle. "Unless you take measures
to prevent it."
"Measures? There's a deal to be

"There's your ship to be cleaned,"
said my great-uncle tentatively.
"I'd ha' mutiny on my hands did I

their fill o' woods and mountains."
"Ah !" said my great-uncle. "Doubtle~s that Is so.

have often said that some day we
should build ourselves a fort on the

"I came npon the Ideal spot this

there is a spring at the very top."
"And J""ll to &lt;lo the work!" snarled
Flint.
"Your men are to do the work," corrected Murl'fiy. "I should gladly asslst them In It hut for the fac-t that

"Blast me for a - - - - fool If

"You'll not reg1·et It," replied my
great-uncle. "I shall be glad to lend

'l'he building of the hilltop fort appealed to some boyi:;;b strain submerged beneath the surface villainy

''No, no--''
"I go too."
"But naught was said of two hostages-"

My ~n~at-uncle turned to Peter with
one foot on the side ladder.
"Are )-ou certain you must go with
Robert?" he asked. "I can assure
you no harm shall come to him."
"Ja, I go."
My great-uncle's reply was a !&lt;hrug
of indifference, and Peter and I
climbed after him to the deck. 'l'he
Walrus was a revelation after the ordered discipline of the Royal James.
In a word, she was pig-dirty. Her
deck was littered-with all kinds of
rubbish; her rigging was slack and
sp!lced In a fashion which seemed lubberly to me, who was a Iubher; her
canvas was torn, poJrly patched and
wretchedly furled; boats, barrels, lumber, spare spars and cables lay about
in entire confusion. The planks we
trod on were slippery with grease.
The paint wus peellng from the bulwarks. There were spots of rust on
the muzzle of a chase gun, which Itself
was hauled out of Its proper position.
Flint came swaggering down to us
from the poop In a condition which
was ln harmony with his surroundIngs. Like most of his men, he had
discarded coat, shirt, stockings and
shoes to accommodate himself to the
heat of a tropical summer. His loose
canvas trousers, Identical wlth those
the seamen wore, were streaked wlth
dirt and tar. His bare calves and
forearms were covered with dried
blood where they had beerr scratched
by brambles In his shore expeditions;
out of the matted hair on his chest
was thrust the head of a tiger, most
marvelously tatooed In black and yellow. His hair was a lank frame for
his saturnine face, stubbly with a
week's growth of beard.
"What d'ye seek, Murray?" he
growled. "Come to look us over?"
"I am come to fulfill my contract
with you," replied my great-uncle. "I
am sailing with the morning ebb, and
I bring you, l)OL one hostage, but two."
Flint stepped closer und scrutinized
Peter anu me.
"Two, eh ?" 'What do I want wl'
two?" What good's this fat man to
me? He means nothing to you."
"On the contrary," denied my relative. "Master Corlaer is an old and
valued enemy of mine, of whom I
have hopes of making in time a
friend."
"Well, he's no good to me; gut me
if he Is!"
"You will take both or none,'' said
my great-uncle In the voice like a
dripping icicle which he knew so well
how to assume.
"~asty,
are ye?" rasped Fllnt.
"Blast ye for a-"
A light In Mvrray's tawny eyes
kindled like a flame under the reflection of the buttle-lnntborns which
were hung from the lower spars.
"Two it is," Flint ended hastlly.
"l3ut ye'U never see either one o' 'em

"You'll support more for sufficient

OLD NEGRO SINGING
NOW SELDOM HEAR-D

Lovers ol Music Keenly Regret Its Passing.
Some o! the most cherished tradl·
tlons of the old South nre fast being
lost by the new South. The ''splrlt·
uels" and unmatched harmony In the
old plantation songs of the negro are
ra~t becoming extinct Industrial progri'!IS Is blamed by music critics for
this and other changed conditions
among the negro race.
The large plantations ot the South 1
were once the homes of the chief negro musicians. Now the best musicians of that race, It Is pointed out,
are to be founrt In the large cities
and centers ot population, and many
of these have acquired cultural attainments which have detracted from the
old songs. One must go far Into the
state of Alabama now to find negro
singing that even approximates the
harmony that once existed over the
entire South.
Tuskegee institute Is making a big
effort to preserve and retain the old
negro songs. That Institute Is trying
to preserve to both the white and ne·
gro races the spirit songs originated
by the latter. It has produced some
of the finest negro singers. During
the past school year its glee club presented Interpretations ot negro songs
ot other days which were said to be as
nearly perfect as reproduction could
be made. Fisk and Hampton, other
famous negro schools, have also given
serious endeavor along similar lines.
It ls claimed that one who has never
heard the "cotton-patch harmony" can·
not appreciate what It would mean to
music lovers If this art should pass.
Music critics have traveled far to hear
negro harmony in Its original setting.
They claim that fifty negroes of varlet!
ages In a cotton field are capable of
produrlng nn Impromptu program of
song, chant, whlstHng and chatter that
can be found nowher·e else 1on earth.
A true negro song Is one that was
never written. They do not have to
know a song to join In with their fellows in singing lt. Each farm group
has a leader, usually a man, the rest
folJow ln. The same song may be
sung for an hour or ali day, but It
never grows monotonous because ot
Its variations. Some negro singers
can ring in more notes than have eYer
been written In the staff. They sing
in major, minor and unknown "keys."
There are no precedents for what they
sing. But no matter what they sing
there is nearly always an indescribable rhythm, swing and motion In It
which, ac&lt;"ording to one critic, is as
"harmonious as the fiow of a meadow
brook." The oldtlme negro singers
know nothing of written music, but
they know harmony.- Pathflnder Magazine.

Especially noticeable is this decline

rather than hitch up tile team.
Now a car ready at the door takes

Indiana continues to write in stone
the history of the deeds of Its sons
&amp;.•nd daughters. The latest chapter is
that of the World war.
The site of the memorial is on a
plaza of five city blocks in the heart
of Indianapolis, two blocks trom the
Circle, from which the Soldiers' and
Sailors' monument, honoring veterans
of the Civil war, dominates the city.
This massive shaft, tlle greatest ot
the many state monuments to Indi·
l!&gt;na's noted sons to be found in various parts of the capital city, has
become so well known through the
world that it is really a sort of trade·
mark: for Jndlannpol!s as well as Indiann. A decorative shaft 285 feet
high, including the bronze statue, Its
light gleams over the whole city.
It we-s designed by Bruno Schmitz
and cost more than $500,000. AI·

memorial to Civil war veterans, It

May Restore Old Theater
well up toward the World war era,
The theater of ~Iurcellus Is a fa· with four epochs commemorated by
mous ruin in Rome. The theater was the statues ot George Rogers Clark,
commenced by Julius Ceasar and William Ilenry Harrison, James Whitcompleted by Augustus, by whom it
was dedicated to 1\Jarcellus In 13 B. C.
It had a, seating capacity of 30,000,
and resembled In Its exterior the Col·
lseum, which was probably modeled
utter It. The thea-ter of Marcellus
was ~everul times Injured n.nd restored during the empire, and In 1086
was converted Into a fortress. In
1220 It come into the possession of
the Savella family, which retained It
until their extinction In 1712, when 1t
wns purchased by the Orsini family,
the present owners. Little of the
original building rema-ins, except the
arcades. which are now used as shops.

Fostered by the Legion.

The project was begun in 1920 and
was fostered by the American Legion.
The proposition was taken up readily
by the people. Business men, seeing
in the plan to embody in the structure offices for the national headquarters of the American Legion a means
of assuring Indianapolis the permanent home of the organization supported the enterprise.
'
The bonus never appealed to Indiana, but the l\Iemorlal plaza idea
was accepted es an opportunity for
its citizens to show their gratitude
to its soldiers in a beautiful and dignified manner.
The legislature provided for trustees, donated three entire city blocks
in the heart o:t: Indianapolis and appropriated $2,000,000 for construction.
The three blocks include the site of
the Indiana State School for the
Blind and two small parks owned by
the state but maintained by the city.
The state-owned property is in two
~;ections.
The tracts were separated
by two blocks of privately ownecl

Location of Airports

The design of Frank R. Walker and
Harry E. Weeks, Cleveland, .won in a
contest. The central structure is a
tower or shrine 192 feet high, 06 feet
square, topped by a pyramidical dome,
flanked by a low building 20 feet in
height, to serve as a base for the
shrine and to extend f rom it on E:·ll
sides. The shrine will be flanked by
two smaller buildings of harmonlou~
structure to be used for offices of
the Legion and other patriotic organ!·
zations, leaving the central unit tor
memorial purposes.
Numbet·ing the blocks in the plaza
site from south to north, the central
unit or memorial shrine will be In
the second block, between and behind
the two churches, which are situated
on the souther.-st and southwest corners. The central building will face
the south.
The two buildings erected for utlll·
tartan purposes wlll be at the extreme northeast enc A(lrtbWPSt COT·

two blocks of landscl?.·ped park. One

the west. The other will face on

ot the plaza.

A report published by the air service on March 1, 1924, shows there are
2,850 airports located In 48 states and
the District of Columbia. Eighty of
these airports, located in the lat·ger
cities, range In size from two acres
In Seattle to 1,000 acres In Cleveland.
The average distance from the center
of the city Is 4.6 miles, except that
those rated as Al fields are generally
from four to fifteen miles from the
downtown district, which distance is
probably due to the excessive cost of
securing adequate space in the central business district.
Of the eighty airports, forty·one are
municipally controlled, one privately
controlled, thirty-two controlled by
commercial corporations, one jointly
by the municipality and private Interests and four by the municipality and
commercial organizations. There are
railroad facilities to fifteen, rapid
tranRit or street cars leading to nine

HISTORY MADE IN
THIS SMALL TOWN

Middletown, Va., Saw Start
ol "Sheridan's Ride."
This ls written itf the tiny vi11age
of Middletown, Va. The town Is so
small that It hasn't even a drug store
in which to buy a picture postcard.
But there is more history to be rea&lt;l
here and more tradition In its ancient
landmarks than many towns of 100
times Its size can boast of. Almost
everybody who e'•er read a school
book remembers "Sheridan's ride.''
This village of Middletown was at the
end of the ride from Winchester,
writes Grove Patterson In the Toledo
Blade.
The house in which this is written
Is one hundred and twenty-five years
old- an old house when General SherIdan pulled up at the gate. The gen·
era! turned what looked like a Confederate victory _ into a rout, and
saved the day-by coming from
Winchester.
Up at Winchester Is a house where
General Washington stopped awhile
during the Revolution. Between here
and there Is a ridge- now a pleasant
bit of farm land- where Stonewall
Jackson stood, and kept standing until, on that day at least, the Union
army had a bud time of it.
Once in Virginia, it lle has eyes
and ears for history, one begins to
think and hear of Robert E. Lee. Lee
said: "The sublimest word io the
English language is cluty."
If he
had left no other message, that message-put across to the American people-would hn&gt;e been worth Jiving
for. Good American no longer think
of Lee as a "rebel'' leade r, but us a
great man loyal t,O a mistaken and a
lost cause.

Some Weather Signl!l.
It Is not always easy to tell what

the weather is going to be, but a few
signs are very reliable. When 1t is
raining you will sometimes notice that
the sky starts to clear In the form of
an arch. Close to the horizon you can
see the little half-circle which is the
be):!"innlng of the arch that will sweep
across the sky until there are no
clouds left. Then you rna~· be certain
It is not going to rain again for some
time. Look at the clouds at almost
any time of the day, and If these get
smaller or remain about the same
size, rain is not likely. Should the
clouds get bigger, expect showers soon.
In fine weather the wind increases up
to midday and then gradually dies
down. If the wind does not get less
nfter noon, and still more If it blows
harder towards sunset, you may be
almost sure bad weather is coming.

From Japan comes a pleasing variation of our vivid slang "high hat"
we have heard. "High pockets," of
less easy connotation, bus its clientele. Jn "An immigrant In Japan," a
book by an American girl who lives
as a native, and has written of her
experiences under the name of Theadate Goeffrey, the author tells of
her shock on seeing her hitherto totally proper Japanese butler answer
the door clad in undies only. To her
remonstrances t he butler showed an

ve the Farm Home
a Distinctive Narne

rESSIVE

ement Fostered in Tennessee for Pa~t Four Years.

sthoniA

(Prepared by the United States Department
ot Agrlcultu'te.)
•

"Name your farm home" Is the alogan of a movement fostered by home
demonstration agents In Tenne~see for
the past four years. :More than 3,000
homes have already been named, according to a report received by the
United States Department of Agriculture. This year the idea Ia again beIng stre~d. as there are still many
homes which have not registered a distlnct!Ye name elttier with the extension service or the state department
of agriculture. The state recently
passed a law permitting such registry,
Farm home owners are urged to gl-re
some thought and trouble to the selection of the right name. It should be
dignified, suitable, lasting, not too common, easy to say, easy to read, and
easy to remember. It should appear
on the mall box or over it, or on n
signboard, or on the gate. It Is intended that It should be used on letterheads and on the label or anything
sold from the farm.
The naming of the farm home Is often the first step In general home Improvement. There Is an effort to live
up to the spirit which has been embodied In the new name. The Indirect
effect of the name can often be seen
In the grading and standardizing of

ce hus no funds

with free distribution by members of
con~I'PSS and other officers of the govt'rnment.
The sale of government publications
could be greatly Increased, declares
Mr. C'~trter, by ending the pi·ellent
wasteful method of free distribution
which cannot supply all the demands
:tnd Is therefore of benefit only to
colllparat!vely few per:,;ons.
The
charge for government publications,
H is pointed out, is nominal, based
upon r&lt;'prlnt cost, plus 10 per cent.
With this low rost no real reason Is

mcnt puhllcutions should not be put

Wou ld Hel p Pay for Printing.
"Inrreased sales would, of course,
l1elp compensate the government for
the cost of printing," the report continue!'~, "but a material growth In
sale!!, unless accompanied by a red·Jct!on of the free copies, would neceRRitute an additional force and a
!urger building for the document division, which Is already seriously overcrowded. Therefore, any plan for the
Increased sale and distribution of government publications should, of neces~&gt;ity, take Into consideration additional
facUlties and larger quarters for the
document dlv,lslon.
"During the fiscal year 1925 the
document divi"l!on distributed 54,084,458 copies of publications.
About
7,()()(1,000 of these copies were purchased by the public. The distribution
was made In 21,372,292 packages, fillIng 139,155 mail sacks. Periodlcnl

year more than $12,000 worth were
received as remittances. If we could
not find un outft for these stamps It
would be nect~~:sary to nturn tn

the.· cannot be converted into cash.
Fortunatel-y our foreign business has
grown to such an extent that we were
able to use all of them. I am convinced that advertising of stamps as
nonacceptai.Jle keeps a great many
people from ordering publications.
"The generous policy or the United
States government !n Its free distribution o~ publications has no doubt
served to depreciate their value.
Those opposed to a restricted free
distribution might be Interested n
kuowing that G1·eat Britain since the
war has discontinued even its prewar limited f1·ee distribution, and now
all libraries have to purchase their
copies.
"The British government, re&lt;;ognizlng the value of its publications, In
1887 passed a resolution permitting
thtl reprinting of information contained in a majority of them. The
policy Is similar to ours, in that we
do not allow copyrighting. The two
countries also entertain similar views
in their practice of charging the prime
cost to the government, so that the
public may purchase at a nominal
cost for paper, presswork and binding."

of Inquiry 'and
n,t thousand other Inquiring persons who visited the office. The fact that the
document division possesses a remarkable library of government publications, consisting of 375,000 books,
pamphlets and maps, for which there
Is a complete reference catalogue,
makes it possible to furnish Information which could not be obtained
as readily and accurately from any
other source.
Better Library Service.
"Better service is being rendered
the depository libraries than ever before, as indicated by the increasing
number of libraries that have found
it advantageous to secure congt·esslonal designation as depositories of
government publications.
By the
new law allowing depositories to select the class of publications to be
furnished by 'the government, the depository libraries have been relieved
of the unbearable burden heretofore
Imposed in having to receive and store
copies of every publication printed
by the government.
"Under the selection plan only 59
of the designated depository libraries
elected to take copies o:t all government publications; 230 libraries receive more than 50 per cent of the Indian "Gobbled," So He

Best Time to Purchase
Different Dairy Feeds
A survey of the various feed markets Indicates that wheat bran usually
reaches bottom price In Jun-e, July and
August; llnMed on meal In May, June
and July; cottonseed meal In August,
September, January and February, and
gluten feed In May, June and July.
By making out their feed budgets accordingly and buying what feed they
need at the proper time, dairymen not
only can make an Important saving In
f~ed costs but also wlll probably :l'eed
a better ration, It Is pointed out by
C. S. Rhode, dairy extension specialist
of the college or agriculture, University of Illinois. Illinois dairymen
should, and do, produce most of the
feed that Is neces~ary for their cows,
but in most cases It i·3 advisable to
balance the home-grown grains with
high protein feeds. It therefore is to
the advantage of the dairymen to
study the feed markets and determine when these feeds can be bought
at the best price, he said.

Does your farm have a name?

Pure-bred sires should be judged by
their progeny rather than by their
ancestors.

• • •

Feed-;;; are low, and farmers who have
money or plenty of credit may profit
by laying ln a supply of feed for fall
use.

• • •

Kansas now has more than 3,000,000
head of cattle and ranks fourth In
the United States In beef cattle productlon.

• • •

Tuberculosis or fowls should be
watched for at all times, as Its 1nlluence In the control of fowl cholera
Is not to be Ignored.

• • •

Do not :teed brood sows tor 24 hour!!
after they farrow. They should have
pl.enty of fresh, clean water all the
t!LJe, but should not be back on full
feed for at least eight or ten days.

• • •

Wlth potato seed high, farm management experts advise planting less
to the acre. And a bushel of table
stock sold now may bring enough to
buy two bushels of certified seed next
;year.

STHONIA, with which the United
States has been negotiating a
commercial treaty, should be
of especial interest to Amerlcans..
Not only Is It one of the
youngest republics, but Its formation
marked the emergence to sudden Independence of a people who, through
700 years of crushing bondage, kept
allve their dream of freedom and were
ready to put it Into realization when
the opportunity came.
World attention has been focused so
closely upon storm centers of central
and southern Europe that comparaUvely little has been heard of the
new nations carved from Russia along
the Baltic sea. But with the gradual
resumption of commerce between Rusala and the outside world Esthonla
and its neighbors, Lattla and Llthunnia, will assume a more Important
aspect, either as barriers or as gateways to interior Russia. From the
eighties of the last century until the
World war period Esthonia bore the
couble yoke of czarist laws admlnlstPrPd by German officials.
One must go far back into Esthonlan
history to trace the origin of this duplicate despotism. Like the Finns, to
whom they are closely related, the I..:sthonlans or Esths, a race numbering
a million and a quarter people, retaln many charactf&gt;rlstics which bespeak their Mongolian origin. The)'

Progressive In Agricu lture.
Before the World war Esthonla had
become one of the most progressive
regions, agriculturally, In Russia.
Though situated in northern Europe.
the country Is tempered by the farfaring Gulf stream. Another thing or
American origin- the potato- has
made Its deep mark on Esthonla, and
It has even been called flippantly, "the
Potato republlc." As a source of alcQo4
hoi the potnto has been most impor-tant economically to the country. Every large estate bas Its own distillery.
and before the World war great quantitles of the potent liquid were exported.
Rus:;;la was reluctant to have Esthonla set up housekeeping on its own
account. The country, about as large
as New Hampshire and Vermont cornhloed, blocks a considerablE' section
of western ·Russia, whereas It formed
before a natural outlet for the larger
country.
The Esthonlan railways
have already played an Important part
In movin!l; produce to and from Ruesla, and if conditions become stablllzec1
in the latter country, Esthonla shoulll
regularly collect a tidy sum· as a
tram;lt agent.
Since the Esthonlans ·are ~;uch lov•
ers of liberty, yet had been so downtrodden hy the "Bait barons" until
almost the end of the ·world war, vlolent readjustments were inPv!tahle.
First came the Russian revolution.
.The Esthonluns demanded and were
given home rule. ThPn followed the
Bolshevik coup; a Bolshevik Invasion.

of an Independent state. Then the
new republic set about what Its leaders descrlhed as "righting the wrongs
of 700 years." The Esthonlans, mak·
lng up 02 per cent of the population.
seized the great estates of the Baits
(who constitute 1% per cent of the
population) and parceled them out
amont:: peasant proprietors. The coontry's agriculture was thus placed on
an entirely new footing, but the most
recent statistics seem to show that
production is holding Its own.
Reval the Chief City.
Reval, known to the Esthonlans as
'.rallln, is Esthonla's greatest port nne!
city. It has existed for 700 years.
With Helslngfors across the gulf, _It
formed tsar!st Russia's gateway and
first line of naval uefense to Petrograd; but to Esthonia, Its commercial
possibilities seem brightest.
As first seen from shipboard, Reval's skyline 1s an epitome of the
forces that have been at work upon
Esthonia. On a hill which rises above
the town is a citadel wall reminiscent,
of the G!o!rmans who took the country
I by the sword. On this height, too, are
the homes of many of the Bait nobles
who have descended from the German
Invaders. From the same hill a clump
of Gothic steeples pierces the sky, recalling the Swedish Invasion and the
Lutheran religion, which moat of the
Esthonians profess. Within the circle
of sharp spires are the queerly shaped,
glided domes of an orthodox: Russian
church, speaking of the efforts at Russiflcatlon which never bore much
:fruit. In the lower town are the homes
of the Esthoniuns--the stratum from
whlch the people have literally risen
to take over the affairs of their country.
•
In aclrlltlon to Its agricultural actuallties, Esthonla has numerous industrral poRsibilities. Already some of its
waterpower Is h:uneHRf'cl, 1mcl at Narva, on the Russian bonler, is one of

Ruler of Baroda,
Son of Herdsman
Maharajah Gaekwar Has
Governed Indian State
for 50 Years.
Washfngton.-The gaekwar o! Baroda hus achieved a record. He has
sat upnn hls throne for 50 years, an
unusual term among Indian rulers in
rPccnt centuries. Therefore, Baroda
has had n jubilee, cllmnxed by a great
~;tate dinner at which the Important
cltizrn~ of Baroda sat cross-legged on
the floor of the palace audience hall
wllh eastern viands before them, while
the maharajah gaekwar sat alone at

over which the oddly titled ruler has
. presided for half a century Is descrilwd In n bulletin from the Washinl!ton (n. C.) headquarters of the National t:cographlc society.

"llarotla, OL\ of the wealthiest o!

"'l'he territories, which total 8,000
s&lt;tuare miles, l&gt;egln near the west
coast of India, 1::&gt;0 miles north of Bomh~lY dty, and extend for 200 miles to

a ~tate monopoly.
"nnrotla City has a population of
10:1,000. There, and in the vicinity,
nre the palaces of the p;aekwar. The
white l':lucco palace of Nazar Bagh is
notable chiefly as the Barodan strong
hox. In It m·e stored the gaekwar's
jt&gt;well':, :-aid to be worth $10,000,000.
Among them Is one of the world's famou-.; diamonds, 'the Star or the
~outh,' of 125 karat,;. Another unit
of the collection is a cloth embroidered

with precious stones and seed pearls.
This was prepared for a Mohammedan
ruler and was meant as a cover for
the tomb of Mohammed.
"Four mlles south of the city Is the
Makapura palace, the cquntry place
of the gaekwar. It Is noted for Its
fine gardens, fountains, grottoes, and
pergolas. The chief of the ruler's resIdences Is the Lakshml Vilas. In it is
a huge Darbar hall around which are
covered und screened wooden galleries
from which the women of the gaekwar's menage may observe state functions without being seen.
"Leadlng off the main street o! Baroda City are numerous 'wards,' each
set aside for a separate caste or class.
These are culs de sac, and across their
entrances are heavy gates. In certain
sections of the town English influences
are noticeable. Baroda college has its
cricket grounds, lts tennis courts, and
Its gymnasium_ Baroda spends more
on public education than any other native !;tate, maintaining public schools
for both boys and girls. There are

SYNOPSIS
The story opens In New York,
about the middle ot the Eighteenth century. Robert Ormerod,
who tclla the tale, Is talking to
Peter Corlaer, chief of the traders,

and

man

ot

cnnrmous

strength, when Darby McGraw,
Irl1h bon&lt;led boy, brln1&gt;11 news
that a pirate ship Is "oft the
Hook." An old sea captain announces he has been chased by
the notorious pirate, Captain
Rip-Rap.
The older Ormerod
tella Robert the pirate Is Andrew
Murray, his (Robert's) greatuncle, commanding the pirate
Ehlp, the Royal James. Murray
Is an ardent Jacobite. Robert
meets a young woman from a
Spanish frigate who Is seeking
her father, Colonel O'Donnell.
Murray with a force of sailors
visits the Ormerod house. He
announcGa hla Intention of carrying oft Robert, by force, If
necessary, proml•lng him a great
tuturP. The Royal James and
the Walrus, the latter commanded by J&lt;'llnt, Murray's partner In
piracy, llPPear. Murray, Hobert
and Peter board the James. :1-Iurray otTers Flint a share In the
loot of a SpaniRh treasure ship
It he will co-oporato with him.
Flint Insists Robert be left with
him as a hostage, while Murray,
In the Royal James, takes the
treasure ship. The pirate vessels arrive at their rendezvous.

CHAPTER VIII-Continued
-9"fiy the - - - - - - - - , but I
hoped 'twas that - - - - Flint come
a-seekln' mischief," he complained.
"Where Is Captain Murray?" I anSWf'retl.
"In his cabin."
And In the same mild manner he
continued to his men:
"To your stations.
Remember
cap'n's ord!'rs. Now these two are
aboard. ye'll firl' at any boat that approucll(~ nnd chnllen~e afterward."
'l'he nE&gt;gro lackeys stood aside as
we came to the cabin entrance under
the pr&gt;op; the door was open. Down
the dark tunnel of the companionway
wltl&gt; lt3 str.teroom doors on either
hand Peter and I could see my greatuncle rJ!tting at the table in the malo
cabin: a glass or wine at his elbow,
o_....rhurt &amp;prcad out b~:forc him.
· I recounted briefly our con~·ersatlon
with Flint und the detet·mlnation Peter
and I harl reached In consequence.
He nodded agreement with it.
"You did quite right, Robert. Peter
did not pxuggerate the dangers inherent In the situation."
"You w!ll excuse me," he went on,
"If I return to my studies. I have
much upon my mind."
We uade him good night and went
to our staterooms, weary enough from
the unwonted exercise of rowing. As
I shut my door I noted that he was
measuring distances In the Caribbean
with calipers, and jotting tlgures upon
the mnrgln o:f the chart.
In the morning all hands were oceup!ed with the taslc or ca~;eenlng the
ship. ''l'wa~ when the work was proceeding satisfactorily that my greatuncle hu de J\Iartln tell off a dozen
l1ands who were good shots and call
away the longboat.
"I marvel that you dare to IeaYe
the James in this defen~eless condition," I said to him as the longboat
pulled of!' up the ancl10rage past the
silent bulk or the Walrus.
"'!'here need not necessarily he
danger this ufternoon," he ::;uill. "'Tis
all quiet ashore. and I doubt i:f there
is a man suftkiently sober aboard
the Walrus to carry a carton ,,f powder from the m~azlne."
"But by evening they'll hu' slept
It oft'," I insisted.
"'!'rue, and with it their lust for
bloodshed-for the time being, at any
rate. Our problem then will be to
turn Flint's mind to some undertalrlng which will divert his attention and
occupy him until we nE&gt;ed no longer
be concerned for his whimsies."
• We landed south o:f the first river
below where Flint's party had held
their carouse, and proceeded Inland
through a wooded valley, with hills
rising to right and left of us and the
Spyglass towering ln the distance.
'l'he day was very clear, and the mountain's summit was a gray cone against
the blue of the sky. Even our sullen,
hangdog escort of seamen became almost cheery under the influence of
their changed surroundings, and with
the sight of their tlrst goat they began
to whoop nod shout like schoolboys.
:Murray, despite his age, was as spry
as the youngest of us, and be never
wasted a shot.
\\·e had maintained a brisk pace
on our wandering::!, and we reached
thP ~ite of the spring well before
sunset. My great-uncle surveyed the
situation with a calculating eye, estimated the stand of timber on the hill's
sides, and exclaimed that there was
no neighboring eminence ·whence an
enemy could command it.
" 'Tis all you have asserted It to
be," he said. "Moreover, it gives me
au idea of a way In "·hich we may
occupy the energies of Captain Flint
and his lambs for the ensuing weeks
of our stay."
A thread of smoke trickled up beside the mouth of the rl~ulet In the
woods along the estuary, and I Indicated it to him.
"'There Is Flint," I said.

"Yes," he replied absently, and kept
on.
'l'he llhadows wE&gt;re lengthening as
we lltepped out of the forest Into a
glade on the river's hnnk. ~everal
additional fires had been kindled, and
around each were huddled groups of
pirates much the worse for the last
night's drlnking-hout.
John Silver
was the only m:m who appeared to
have any anlmntlon left in him.
'Twas he first saw us, and evidently
spoke to Flint, who sat with Bones
and several other cronies at the
smnllest of the fires. IIe swung toward us as Flint rose unsteadily and
tackecl In his wake.
"Come a-vl!'ltln', captain?" Silver
Inquired cheerfully. "~1lgllty kine! o'
ye, sir, seeln' as how most o' our lads
Is a bit the worse for liquor and
blood-lettin'. My duty to ye, Master
Ormerod. I hopes I sees you and
your friend well?"
"Rlood-lettln ?" repeated Murray, Ignoring the hnlance or his remarks.
"'l'he old story, eh?
Well, well!
You'll never learn. How many for the
sallmaker's palm and needle?"
"Three, captain. And main lucky
we are as-"
Ii'llnt lurched up beside him.
"Stow that, John," ~owled his captain. "I'll do the tnlkln'. What's
your trouhle, Murray?"
My great-uncle took a pinch of snuff
with his Inimitable knack of expressIng acute disgust without moving a
muscle of his fuce.
"I have been a-hunting," he replied.
"Shooting for the pot. We stopped
on the way to our boat to pass the
time o' day with you, Fllnt."
Flint snorted.
"Time o' day! II-I! 'Taln't llke you
to take the trouble."
"I am a person or most uncertain
proclivities," replied my great-uncle.
"I hear from Sliver that last night's
episode was accompanied by the usual
fatalities."
"Three," asf:ented Fllnt. "Two o'
'em could be spared-lousy dogs. The
other was Toby Welsh, as stout a fellow as we had."
"Not bad for one night's work.''
commented Murray.
Flint was obviously In no very bel·
l!gerent mood ; he could scarce stand.
But he flnmeu up at this.
"Aye, and what d'ye expect? How
many months did ye tell me I must
hide here wl' a crew that knows
naught but how to brew the dev!l's
broth? And how many men d'ye think
wlll be alive by the end of the time?
Gut me, but 'twill be llke the song
we slug o' the Dead Man's Chest!"
"I fear It will," agreed my greatuncle. "Unless you take measures
to prevent it."
"Measures? There's a deal to be
clone In keeping twelvescore men
f1·om fighting on this chunk o' earth
and rock!"
"There's your ship to be cleaned,"
said my great-uncle tentatively.
"I'd ha' mutiny on my hands did I
call for It! They're all for a run
ashore, and there'll be no working
thE'm ahoanlship until they ha' had
their fill o' woods and mountains."
"Ah !" said my great-uncle. "Doubtle~s that Is so.
Well, if they must
remain ashore a time, is It not in
their own Interest to erect themselves
some shE'Iter from the elements? We
have often said that some day we
should build ourselves a fort on the
island."
ha'.''
"I came npon the Ideal spot this
afternoon-:&gt;. sand hillock overgrown
with fine pines and oaks eastward of
the swamps. It hath the airs from
the ocean, a good pros11ect of the anchorage and the nearer waters, and
there is a spring at the very top."
"And J""ll to &lt;lo the work!" snarled
Flint.
"Your men are to do the work," corrected Murl'fiy. "I should gladly asslst them In It hut for the fac-t that
my own crew w!ll be occupied aboardship during the duration of our stay.
We of the Ro~·ai .Tames, I may point
out, are laboring in the common Interest no less than your people wlll
be 1r they unllertake the construction
of the fort.''
"Blast me for a - - - - fool If
I care two - - - - - - for the common Interest!" cried Flint. "l3ut 'tis
true there is need of the fort, and
if the men will bide ashore they
should ha' a roof to their heads and
a better place to camp than down here
in the river vapors. I'll see what's
to be done, :11urray.'.'
"You'll not reg1·et It," replied my
great-uncle. "I shall be glad to lend
,.vou aught I po;:;sess in the way of
tools 01· advice."
'l'he building of the hilltop fort appealed to some boyi:;;b strain submerged beneath the surface villainy
of Flint's scoundrels. '!'hey went to
their task with positive enthusiasm,
clearing the hillock of timber, sawing
and squaring the logs and erecting
a substantial house of the more massive logs anll after that an open stockade or paliug of sapling -stakes six
feet high.
Murray's personal object was already
accomplished.
'l'he Royal
James was back upon an e\·cn keel,
her bottom scraped clean, her hull
fresh-painted inside and out. her rtgiing overhauled and canYas In order,

"''"e

spnrs te~ted and a weak topmast replaced, guns varnished, stores checked
rmrt stowed, sufficient grPat-cartrldge
for three actions prepared by the gunner, ballast abonrd and distrubuted
with n careful eye for soiling trim.
"As sweet and proper as though she
was ju;:;t from the hands of the dockyard fitters at Portsmouth," was
Murra)·'s comment on an evening
uhout the beginning of August. "'l'he
tirle ebhs on the break of dawn. I
purpo~e salling then."
"And you must deliver the body or
your hostage beforehand," I answered
as disagreeably as I could.
"Even so," he acknowledge(]. "''l'is
regrettable, Robert, yet the time will
come, I venture to predict, when you
will look back with pride upon the
Inconvenience you suffered."
"I'll accept the Inconvenience If I
may escape the rascals alive," I retorted.
"Of that you need hnve no doubts,''
he said eamestly. "I shoJI accompany you, and you may hear my partIng Instructions to Fllnt.
Friend
Peter, will you Indulge me for the
space of half an hour whilst I visit
the Walrus with my nephew?"
"Neen," answered Peter, and pushed
away from the table. "I go too."
''No, no--''
"I go too."
"But naught was said of two hostages-"
"Ir Bob goes, I go,'' Insisted the
Dutchman. "Ja."
Murray shook his head.
"For you I might not be responsible, Peter."
"I will be responsible :for myself,"
said Peter. "I go to der ·walrus or
you go oudt der window."
My great-uncle stared at him for
a moment, then burst Into laughter.
''By gad, you would! And after,

"There Is Flint," I Said.
hecome captain In my place, no doubt.
You are unmatchable, Peter. What do
you say, nephew?"
"I'd not have Peter risk his throat
with mine.'' I answered uncomfortably."
"I go wit' you, Bob," repeated the
Dutchman.
"You see!" cried Murray. "'Tis
useless to object. Go with you he
wilL 'Vell, you'll have company at
least-and I shall lack a companion
whose presenc-e Is not the less valuable for his silence. A good friend is
Peter, Robert.
I would he were
mine!"

Perer ro!&lt;e.
""'e !!O," he said. "Ja.''
On deck :\Iurray had the Ion~boat
called awn~·. and "'e embarked In silence. 'Twas a hot night, with very
little ait· stirring, and the r!hald nn·
roar on the \Yalrus was nrna:7.lngly
distinct. The .James was !ike a tomb
by contrn~t • •ot a ~onnd came from
her, and the only lights she showed
were In the waist and the main cnhln.
The Walrus was a hlaze of Ianthorns
from poop to fu'cl'le, but )lurray
hailed the deck twJce hefore he had
an answer.
"l3oat ahoy!" re~ponr!cd a hu!;ky
voice then. "Why'n - - don't ye
come a hoard?"
"''l'is Captain Murray to see Cnntaln Flint," replied my great-uncle
calmly.
"Aye, aye, sir," answered the husky
voice l)n a qua\'er of fear. ""'e'll
call him rtirectly.
Wlll ye come
aboarrl, f:ir ?"
My ~n~at-uncle turned to Peter with
one foot on the side ladder.
"Are )-ou certain you must go with
Robert?" he asked. "I can assure
you no harm shall come to him."
"Ja, I go."
My great-uncle's reply was a !&lt;hrug
of indifference, and Peter and I
climbed after him to the deck. 'l'he
Walrus was a revelation after the ordered discipline of the Royal James.
In a word, she was pig-dirty. Her
deck was littered-with all kinds of
rubbish; her rigging was slack and
sp!lced In a fashion which seemed lubberly to me, who was a Iubher; her
canvas was torn, poJrly patched and
wretchedly furled; boats, barrels, lumber, spare spars and cables lay about
in entire confusion. The planks we
trod on were slippery with grease.
The paint wus peellng from the bulwarks. There were spots of rust on
the muzzle of a chase gun, which Itself
was hauled out of Its proper position.
Flint came swaggering down to us
from the poop In a condition which
was ln harmony with his surroundIngs. Like most of his men, he had
discarded coat, shirt, stockings and
shoes to accommodate himself to the
heat of a tropical summer. His loose
canvas trousers, Identical wlth those
the seamen wore, were streaked wlth
dirt and tar. His bare calves and
forearms were covered with dried
blood where they had beerr scratched
by brambles In his shore expeditions;
out of the matted hair on his chest
was thrust the head of a tiger, most
marvelously tatooed In black and yellow. His hair was a lank frame for
his saturnine face, stubbly with a
week's growth of beard.
"What d'ye seek, Murray?" he
growled. "Come to look us over?"
"I am come to fulfill my contract
with you," replied my great-uncle. "I
am sailing with the morning ebb, and
I bring you, l)OL one hostage, but two."
Flint stepped closer und scrutinized
Peter anu me.
"Two, eh ?" 'What do I want wl'
two?" What good's this fat man to

OLD NEGRO SINGING
NOW SELDOM HEAR-D

Lovers ol Music Keenly Regret Its Passing.
Some o! the most cherished tradl·
tlons of the old South nre fast being
lost by the new South. The ''splrlt·
uels" and unmatched harmony In the
old plantation songs of the negro are
ra~t becoming extinct Industrial progri'!IS Is blamed by music critics for
this and other changed conditions
among the negro race.
The large plantations ot the South 1
were once the homes of the chief negro musicians. Now the best musicians of that race, It Is pointed out,
are to be founrt In the large cities
and centers ot population, and many
of these have acquired cultural attainments which have detracted from the
old songs. One must go far Into the
state of Alabama now to find negro
singing that even approximates the
harmony that once existed over the
entire South.
Tuskegee institute Is making a big
effort to preserve and retain the old
negro songs. That Institute Is trying
to preserve to both the white and ne·
gro races the spirit songs originated
by the latter. It has produced some
of the finest negro singers. During
the past school year its glee club presented Interpretations ot negro songs
ot other days which were said to be as
nearly perfect as reproduction could
be made. Fisk and Hampton, other
famous negro schools, have also given
serious endeavor along similar lines.
It ls claimed that one who has never
heard the "cotton-patch harmony" can·
not appreciate what It would mean to
music lovers If this art should pass.
Music critics have traveled far to hear
negro harmony in Its original setting.
They claim that fifty negroes of varlet!
ages In a cotton field are capable of

sung for an hour or ali day, but It
never grows monotonous because ot
Its variations. Some negro singers
can ring in more notes than have eYer
been written In the staff. They sing
in major, minor and unknown "keys."
There are no precedents for what they
sing. But no matter what they sing
there is nearly always an indescribable rhythm, swing and motion In It
which, ac&lt;"ording to one critic, is as
"harmonious as the fiow of a meadow
brook." The oldtlme negro singers
know nothing of written music, but
they know harmony.- Pathflnder Magazine.

One of the latest accusations against
the automoblle com-es from the shoe
trade. Makers of shoes say that the
proportional decline In the shoe business since the war Is due largely to
the Increased use of the automobile.
Especially noticeable is this decline
in the rural districts, where the people formerly walked short distances
rather than hitch up tile team.
Now a car ready at the door takes
thew to the village or the city. Then,
too, the farmer otten walked beside
his horses when big loads were hauled.
The man or woman who did not have
"work'' shoes and also "Sunday" shoes
was scarce. Now the farmer finds
that one pair at a time does him quite
well.

Indiana continues to write in stone
the history of the deeds of Its sons
&amp;.•nd daughters. The latest chapter is
that of the World war.
The site of the memorial is on a
plaza of five city blocks in the heart
of Indianapolis, two blocks trom the
Circle, from which the Soldiers' and
Sailors' monument, honoring veterans
of the Civil war, dominates the city.
This massive shaft, tlle greatest ot
the many state monuments to Indi·
l!&gt;na's noted sons to be found in various parts of the capital city, has
become so well known through the
world that it is really a sort of trade·
mark: for Jndlannpol!s as well as Indiann. A decorative shaft 285 feet
high, including the bronze statue, Its
light gleams over the whole city.
It we-s designed by Bruno Schmitz
and cost more than $500,000. AI·
though it was ererted primarily as a
memorial to Civil war veterans, It
brings the stone history of the state
May Restore Old Theater
well up toward the World war era,
The theater of ~Iurcellus Is a fa· with four epochs commemorated by
mous ruin in Rome. The theater was the statues ot George Rogers Clark,
commenced by Julius Ceasar and William Ilenry Harrison, James Whitcompleted by Augustus, by whom it
was dedicated to 1\Jarcellus In 13 B. C.
It had a, seating capacity of 30,000,
and resembled In Its exterior the Col·
lseum, which was probably modeled
utter It. The thea-ter of Marcellus
was ~everul times Injured n.nd restored during the empire, and In 1086
was converted Into a fortress. In
1220 It come into the possession of
the Savella family, which retained It
until their extinction In 1712, when 1t
wns purchased by the Orsini family,
the present owners. Little of the
original building rema-ins, except the
arcades. which are now used as shops.
The restoration ot the theater of
Marcellus Is one of the projects of
l\Iussollni, who has announced his
purpose of restoring Rome to the
Monument in Honor of Indiana World

Fostered by the Legion.

The project was begun in 1920 and
was fostered by the American Legion.
The proposition was taken up readily
by the people. Business men, seeing
in the plan to embody in the structure offices for the national headquarters of the American Legion a means
of assuring Indianapolis the permanent home of the organization supported the enterprise.
'
The bonus never appealed to Indiana, but the l\Iemorlal plaza idea
was accepted es an opportunity for
its citizens to show their gratitude
to its soldiers in a beautiful and dignified manner.
The legislature provided for trustees, donated three entire city blocks
in the heart o:t: Indianapolis and appropriated $2,000,000 for construction.
The three blocks include the site of
the Indiana State School for the
Blind and two small parks owned by
the state but maintained by the city.
The state-owned property is in two
~;ections.
The tracts were separated
by two blocks of privately ownecl
property. To give the site au uninterrupted stretch of five blocks addi"
tiona! legislation authorized a bond
Issue for the purchase of the two inten·ening blocks and gave the trustees power to accept the property 1:-s

Shrine 192 Feet High.

Location of Airports

The design of Frank R. Walker and
Harry E. Weeks, Cleveland, .won in a
contest. The central structure is a
tower or shrine 192 feet high, 06 feet
square, topped by a pyramidical dome,
flanked by a low building 20 feet in
height, to serve as a base for the
shrine and to extend f rom it on E:·ll
sides. The shrine will be flanked by
two smaller buildings of harmonlou~
structure to be used for offices of
the Legion and other patriotic organ!·
zations, leaving the central unit tor
memorial purposes.
Numbet·ing the blocks in the plaza
site from south to north, the central
unit or memorial shrine will be In
the second block, between and behind
the two churches, which are situated
on the souther.-st and southwest corners. The central building will face
the south.
The two buildings erected for utlll·
tartan purposes wlll be at the extreme northeast enc A(lrtbWPSt COT·
ners of the plaza, directly across from
the Indianapolis public library and
separated from the central shrine by
two blocks of landscl?.·ped park. One
of the bull&lt;llngs will fare Meridian
street, which borders the plaza on
the west. The other will face on
Pennsylvania street, eastern boundary
ot the plaza.

A report published by the air service on March 1, 1924, shows there are
2,850 airports located In 48 states and
the District of Columbia. Eighty of
these airports, located in the lat·ger
cities, range In size from two acres
In Seattle to 1,000 acres In Cleveland.
The average distance from the center
of the city Is 4.6 miles, except that
those rated as Al fields are generally
from four to fifteen miles from the
downtown district, which distance is
probably due to the excessive cost of
securing adequate space in the central business district.
Of the eighty airports, forty·one are
municipally controlled, one privately
controlled, thirty-two controlled by
commercial corporations, one jointly
by the municipality and private Interests and four by the municipality and
commercial organizations. There are
railroad facilities to fifteen, rapid
tranRit or street cars leading to nine
and busses to one.-Cl1arles Whitnall,
se~retary of public land commission·
ers, Mllwaukee, in the National Municipal Review.

HISTORY MADE IN
THIS SMALL TOWN

Middletown, Va., Saw Start
ol "Sheridan's Ride."
This ls written itf the tiny vi11age
of Middletown, Va. The town Is so
small that It hasn't even a drug store
in which to buy a picture postcard.
But there is more history to be rea&lt;l
here and more tradition In its ancient
landmarks than many towns of 100
times Its size can boast of. Almost
everybody who e'•er read a school
book remembers "Sheridan's ride.''
This village of Middletown was at the
end of the ride from Winchester,
writes Grove Patterson In the Toledo
Blade.
The house in which this is written
Is one hundred and twenty-five years
old- an old house when General SherIdan pulled up at the gate. The gen·
era! turned what looked like a Confederate victory _ into a rout, and
saved the day-by coming from
Winchester.
Up at Winchester Is a house where
General Washington stopped awhile
during the Revolution. Between here
and there Is a ridge- now a pleasant
bit of farm land- where Stonewall
Jackson stood, and kept standing until, on that day at least, the Union
army had a bud time of it.
Once in Virginia, it lle has eyes
and ears for history, one begins to
think and hear of Robert E. Lee. Lee
said: "The sublimest word io the
English language is cluty."
If he
had left no other message, that message-put across to the American people-would hn&gt;e been worth Jiving
for. Good American no longer think
of Lee as a "rebel'' leade r, but us a
great man loyal t,O a mistaken and a
lost cause.

Some Weather Signl!l.
It Is not always easy to tell what

the weather is going to be, but a few
signs are very reliable. When 1t is
raining you will sometimes notice that
the sky starts to clear In the form of
an arch. Close to the horizon you can
see the little half-circle which is the
be):!"innlng of the arch that will sweep
across the sky until there are no
clouds left. Then you rna~· be certain
It is not going to rain again for some
time. Look at the clouds at almost
any time of the day, and If these get
smaller or remain about the same
size, rain is not likely. Should the
clouds get bigger, expect showers soon.
In fine weather the wind increases up
to midday and then gradually dies
down. If the wind does not get less
nfter noon, and still more If it blows
harder towards sunset, you may be
almost sure bad weather is coming.

Imitative Japs.
From Japan comes a pleasing variation of our vivid slang "high hat"
we have heard. "High pockets," of
less easy connotation, bus its clientele. Jn "An immigrant In Japan," a
book by an American girl who lives
as a native, and has written of her
experiences under the name of Theadate Goeffrey, the author tells of
her shock on seeing her hitherto totally proper Japanese butler answer
the door clad in undies only. To her
remonstrances t he butler showed an
American ad of familiar athletic gentlemen against a background of locker-room elegance, cla-d only in that
easy deshabille ot primary and es·

Dredging Gold From a Washington Highway

One vVork Horse Needed
to Care for 35 Acres

MotoriRts who use the Yellowstone Trail highway, fourteen miles north of Cle Elum, In the state of WashIngton, are forced to make a detour when they find a huge gold dredger at work In the middle of the road.
The highway runs over what was the bed of the old Swauk creek. The gold-bearing grnv~&gt;l was worl;:ed by
white and Chinese miners many years ago, who stopped work there when the big ~rlkes were made In the Klondike. Hecently a group of men In eastern Washington incorporated and put the dredger to work, as they hold the
mlnln .,. rights to the land the highway runs over. The dredge Is taking out over a thousand dollarR a day.

Murray's whistle hlew a second

more of the James' pirates dropped

"BAYER ASPIRIN"

A "death-nolse" Instead of a "death·
ray,'' wns the phenomenon discussed
recently before the National Academy
of Science, by Prof. R. A. Wood and
Alfred L. Loomis of the Johns Hopkins university. The "death-noise"
would haYe been Inaudible to human
ears, but It consisted of sound waves,
just the snme, and It killed small
fishes and other aquatic animals In
Yessels of water, In less than a minute. The two researchers generated
E-xceedingly
high-frequency
sound
waves by means of electr-Ical appnratus. The waves were produced at n
rate of from 100,000 to 400,000 to the
~econd. The upper limit of audibility
to human ears Is between 20,000 and
30,000. If a beam of these sound
wa,·es Is directed toward the surface
ot the water, Professor \Vood said,
the surfacl' Is heaped up In a mound.
The vibrations heat the water, n rise

ACCIDENTS TO YOUNG
WORKERS
HE chlldr~&gt;n's bureau of the United
T
States Department of Labor has
just Issued an eJt:haustlve report on
Industrial accidents to young workers.
For many reasons young persons are
more apt to be Injured In shops and
factories than are older persons. This
Is the principal reason why runny of
our states have passed laws forbidding
the employment of children under sixteen or eighteen In certain kinds of
work. From a careful study of Industrial injuries to minors In Wisconsin,
Massachusetts and New .Jersey the
bureau concludes that there are still
a large number of accidents occurring
which should be prevented and that
the age limit In most of our states Is
still too low.
The records of accidents for one
year In each of these three states
snow a total of 7,478 accidents to minor employees. resulting In 38 deaths,
920 cases of partial disablement for
life and 6,520 cases of temporary disablement. As this record Crnly covers
cases of minors who were disabled
more than ten days, under the work·
man's compensation act, there were
probably many more cases In Injuries
to minors than those recorded, probal;ly twice as many.
Of the 7,478 .:nsf's reported. 36.2 per
cent, or over on~-th l rd, were caused
by machinery. 'l't•i~&gt; was twi ce as
high a percentage as the machine accidents which happened to workers
over twenty-one years of age.
Most of the machinery now used Is
power operated. Most of the accidents to minors occurred In starting
and stopping the machinery.
Handling objects was the second
most frequent cause of Injury. This
resulted In strains, sprains and ruptures.
Falls were the third most frequent
cause of Injury, either by slipping or
stumbling over objects on level surfaces or falling down stairs or elevator shafts.
The fourth most frequent cause was
vehicles, principally ft·om cranking automohlles. Other causes were tools,
stepping on nails or wires. falling objects and heat and corrosive substances.
As a result of Its ln~estlgatlon the
chlldren's bureau concludes that the
danger of Injuries to minors can be
reduced by requiring better guarded
machinery and safer working places,
but that even with the best of safeguards, there Is greater danger of accident for young workers than for
adults and tha t to prevent disabling
accidents greater care foi" boys and
girls of sixteen and seventeen Is neeessary.

Dredging Gold From a Washington Highway

One vVork Horse Needed
to Care for 35 Acres

MotoriRts who use the Yellowstone Trail highway, fourteen miles north of Cle Elum, In the state of WashIngton, are forced to make a detour when they find a huge gold dredger at work In the middle of the road.
The highway runs over what was the bed of the old Swauk creek. The gold-bearing grnv~&gt;l was worl;:ed by
white and Chinese miners many years ago, who stopped work there when the big ~rlkes were made In the Klondike. Hecently a group of men In eastern Washington incorporated and put the dredger to work, as they hold the
mlnln .,. rights to the land the highway runs over. The dredge Is taking out over a thousand dollarR a day.

Our experience and equipment help you get the most mileage,
comfort and safety from tires.
Gum-Dipping- the only known method of insulating every fiber
of every cord with rubber - gives the strongest construction possible.
And the special Steam-Welding process makes Firestone tubes both
leak-proof and long-wearing-further
increasing the life of the tire.

"BAYER ASPIRIN"

A "death-nolse" Instead of a "death·

recently before the National Academy
of Science, by Prof. R. A. Wood and
Alfred L. Loomis of the Johns Hopkins university. The "death-noise"
would haYe been Inaudible to human
ears, but It consisted of sound waves,
just the snme, and It killed small
fishes and other aquatic animals In
Yessels of water, In less than a minute. The two researchers generated
E-xceedingly
high-frequency
sound
waves by means of electr-Ical appnratus. The waves were produced at n
rate of from 100,000 to 400,000 to the
~econd. The upper limit of audibility
to human ears Is between 20,000 and
30,000. If a beam of these sound
wa,·es Is directed toward the surface

the surfacl' Is heaped up In a mound.
The vibrations heat the water, n rise

ACCIDENTS TO YOUNG
WORKERS
HE chlldr~&gt;n's bureau of the United
T
States Department of Labor has
just Issued an eJt:haustlve report on
Industrial accidents to young workers.
For many reasons young persons are
more apt to be Injured In shops and
factories than are older persons. This
Is the principal reason why runny of
our states have passed laws forbidding
the employment of children under sixteen or eighteen In certain kinds of
work. From a careful study of Industrial injuries to minors In Wisconsin,
Massachusetts and New .Jersey the
bureau concludes that there are still
a large number of accidents occurring
which should be prevented and that
the age limit In most of our states Is
still too low.
The records of accidents for one
year In each of these three states
snow a total of 7,478 accidents to minor employees. resulting In 38 deaths,
920 cases of partial disablement for
life and 6,520 cases of temporary disablement. As this record Crnly covers
cases of minors who were disabled
more than ten days, under the work·
man's compensation act, there were
probably many more cases In Injuries
to minors than those recorded, probal;ly twice as many.
Of the 7,478 .:nsf's reported. 36.2 per
cent, or over on~-th l rd, were caused
by machinery. 'l't•i~&gt; was twi ce as
high a percentage as the machine accidents which happened to workers
over twenty-one years of age.
Most of the machinery now used Is
power operated. Most of the accidents to minors occurred In starting
and stopping the machinery.
Handling objects was the second
most frequent cause of Injury. This
resulted In strains, sprains and ruptures.
Falls were the third most frequent
cause of Injury, either by slipping or
stumbling over objects on level surfaces or falling down stairs or elevator shafts.
The fourth most frequent cause was
vehicles, principally ft·om cranking automohlles. Other causes were tools,
stepping on nails or wires. falling objects and heat and corrosive substances.
As a result of Its ln~estlgatlon the
chlldren's bureau concludes that the
danger of Injuries to minors can be
reduced by requiring better guarded
machinery and safer working places,
but that even with the best of safeguards, there Is greater danger of accident for young workers than for
adults and tha t to prevent disabling
accidents greater care foi" boys and
girls of sixteen and seventeen Is neeessary.

CURRENT EVENTS
Hoover's Cabinet Accepted
by the Senate-Serious
Rebellion in Mexico.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

RESIDENT IIOOVER'S first official act of consequence was to
submit to the senate the names of
eight men whom he had selected for
his cabinet. Radical senators were
nil set to make n fight against confirmation of Andrew :\Iellon for secretary of the treasury, hut, as was explained in these columns some time
ago, It was not necessm·y fo1• l\Ir.
Hoover to send in 111r. Mellon's name,
since he is a holdover, so the radicals \\ere circumvented. l\1al\ing no
in,·idious distinction, the President
also omitted from the list Secretary
of Labor James J. Davis, the other
member of the Coolidge cabinet who
was retained.
The senate without hesitation confirmed the eight names sublllitted.
They are:
Henry Lewif'l Slimson Of New Yorl,,
secretary of !?tate.
.Tames William Good of Illinois, secretar:v of war.
Wiitiam Dewitt l\1itr~1ell of ::llinnesotn, nttornt•y gene1·al.
Walter Fvlger Brown of Ohio, postmaf::ter genern I.
Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, secretary of the navy.
Ray Lyman Wilbur of California,
secretary of the interior.
Arthut· M:. Ilyde of .1\iissouri, secretary of agriculture.
Robert Patte1·son Lamont of Illinois,
secretary of commerce.
After a sharp debate the senate
adopted a resolution offered by McKellar of Tennessee ordering the judiciary c-ommittee to investigate Secretary Mellon's right to continue in
the cabinet without reappointment
and to dete1·mine if he has violated
un old law that prohibits treasury
officials from engaging in any business. It was not believed in Washington tl1at this action would bring
about results adverse to l\Ir. 1\lellon.
The serretary of the treasury, it was
reported. intended to hold the office
for not more than t\YO years.
Since 1\Ir. Stimson is on his way
home from the Philippinrs, where he
has been go,·ernor general, Secretary
of State Kellogg consented to remain
in office until his successor arrives in
Washington and qualifies. Ln genernl
the President's cabinet selections met
with wa1·m approval.
On Thursday President Hoover issued the call for the extraordinary
session of congress, to open April 15.
He said in the proclamation that the
purpose is "to effect further agricultural relief and legislation for limited
changes of the tariff."
Dul'ing his first days in the White
House l\Ir. Hoover received throngs
of congratulating callers from all
parts of the country, and also he settled down to the business Of conducting the affairs of the nation. He tofU
the newspaper correspondents he desired to continue the periodical press
conferences and to develop them In di·
rectious that would assist both the
press and the President. He conferred with Senator Smoot and Representative Tilson concerning the calling of the extraordinary session of
congress for farm relief and tariff re&gt;ision, and with Attorney General
Mitchell concerning the appointment
of the commission to Investigate the
administration of justice and especially the enforcement of prohibition. His
emphatic words concerning law enforcement in his inaugural address
were especially pleasing to all the
church and dry organizations, and
they pt-esented him with their felicitations hand illumined on parchm;)nt
tmd bound in tooled leather gold embossed. 1\lr, lloo&gt;er desires to place
the entire prohibition enforcement
machinery u:1:ier the attorney general.
~(his may require legislation, and the
~ry lenders in congress are not all in
!aYor of this course.

P

R. AXD 1\lRS. COOLIDGE, returning to their home in 2'\orthampton, 1\Iass., were gh·en an impromptu lo&gt;ing welcome by their
nei~hbors that affected them deeply.

M

llotb of them were sincerely glad to
resume their unpretentious home life,
and Mrs. Coolidge especially seemed
gay and happy. To the reporters Mr.
Coolidge said, Interviewing himself,
that he is not going to practice law
in Northampton or anywhere else at
present; that the se&gt;eral contracts he
has made for magazine articles are all
he contemplates now in that llne; that
he will not write a boo!{ and will not
make any speeches. He will not travel In foreign countries this summer,
believing there are plenty of interesting
places in the United States to be seen.
Gen. Ch::u·les G. Dnwes, late Vice
President, hastened bncl{ to Chicago
and at once resumed work in the bnnk
with which he ·was long connected.
He was made chairman of the board.
He declined to talk politics but vehPmently denied that he intended to
run fot· s&lt;:&gt;nator to succeed Charles S.

states in :\lexico and speedily
reached alanning proportion~. A number of go,·ernors and military chief·
tains joined in the moYement, directed
at the goyemment of President Portes
Gil and aimed particularly at what
they called "Cnlles domination." 'l'hey
immediately ordered opened all the
churches that had been closed by the
Catholic aut!IOrities in protest against
the- .religious laws \t·hich Calles, while
President, put into etTect. At first the
rebels under General Aguirre gained
possession of Yera Cruz and othet· important cities. Gen. Gonznlo Escobar
was sent by the gorernment to 1\Ionterey to comlJat the revolutionaries.
but on arrival there he joined the rebels and wns mncle military chief or
the movement. President Po1·tes Gil
appointed Calles secretary of war, an1l
under vigorous direction the federal
troops regained possession of lllonterey, Ol'izaba, and other strategic
points. Aguirre in Vera Cruz state
was deserted by most of his men, anfl
Escobar was said to IJe surrounded by
three strong armies. The government
issued a bulletin predicting the earl~·
collapse of the enti1·e rebellion, an 1J
dispatches from Ambassador l\lorrow
indicated the same belief.
It was stated at the White House In
Washing1on that the new administration \\'Ould continue to inforce the embargo on arms sl1ipments to lllexican
rebels that was maintained by President C'oolidge, but that licensed arms
shipments would be pet·mitted to go
forward to l\lexico City if requested
by the l\Iexican goyernment. The
State department said every effort was
IJeing made to preYent the smuggling
of arms across the border.

Europe was the topic the council
of the League of Nations took up
when it met in Gene,·a last week, but
there was no prospect of action, for
tbe council felt the problem was too
big to be settled now and should be
studied by a subcommittee. Sir Austen Chamberlain, British secretary for
foreign affairs, said: "'l'he rights of
the minorities cnnnot be separated
from their obligations, and they have
to show that they hare behaved loyally to the country of which they are
part and given true allegiance to the
country to which they are subject."
NSTEAD of whitewashing Gen. Um·

MAKES IT -and how?
Is it simple, and easy to keep
in order? Will it do its job-and
keep on doing it?
Aren't these the questions you
want answered before you invest
your money in a tractor and every·
thing else you use on the farm?
It's the same way with radio.
Here's an instrument your family
will depend upon for years and
years. You want to know iL's al.
ways ready to go.
Atwater Kent Radio comes from
the largest manufacturer. It is
made of better materials than are
ordinarily thought
necessary. So strictly
is its reputation
guarded that one out
of every eight workers
is a tester or inspector
-and every set has to
pass 222 tests before it
can leave the factory.

Quality Atwater Kent Radio-first choice
of rural families everywhere-is offered
in two forms: 1. For all-electric opera•
tion direct from the same house current
that lights your home; you merely plug
in. 2. For operation from batteries.
Either way, you get
plenty of power for longrange reception, natural
tone, and inslnntaneous
pro"ram selection with
the "FuLL -VISION Dial.
There are several all-elec•

ALKING to a roomful of high
school girls on personal hygiene,
an experienced district nurse said:
"One of the basic rules of health for
~rirls is to keep the system functioning
naturally at all times. Normal exercise
and diet habits should be encouraged.
But when necessary there's no harm in
taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal
functions of any organ of the body.
Particularly with girls, there are times
when nujol should always be taken
Take a spoonful every night for a few
days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or
gas pains or griping."
.,
Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter '
how you are feeling because it is so
pure :tnd harmless, and works so
easily. Every woman should keep a
bottle on hand. Every druggist has ~his
remarkablesubstance. Get the genuine.

SYNOPSIS
Impoverished by the open-handed
generosity of his father, VIrginia
gentleman, young Webster Brond
Ia serving as a scout and spy tor
the army under General Braddock
preparing for the advance on Fort
Duquesne. He has just returned to
Alexandria from a visit to the
fort, where, posing as a French·
man, he has secured valuable Information. Braddock, bred to European warfare, ralls to realize the
Importance or the news.

Governor Morns rurther mollified
the truscible cumwuoder by suying:
"I will send George Croghan a lettel', directing 11Im to start belts to the
lake tribes. Ue stnntls next to WU

dian nature and lnflm•nce over them

"When I last talked with Mr. Wash·
lngton he In for rued me there were
three hundred Iroquois, who left the
Ohio last winter. and who are now
ready to march with us," said Grad
dock, Ills face losing some of its dour
expression.
I glunced at Governor Morris anc:l
fancied I detected symptoms of uneasiness. He knew what 1 was think·
lng, and, while he much disliked at
that time to dash any of Braddock'!'
hopes, he announced:
"I regret, sir, that the IroQuois you
mention are no longer under our cOD·
trot. Pennsylvania fed them from t.he
latter part of last year until this
spring. My last advice from Philadelphia Is that the assembly has voted
to go to no further expense In their
behalf and that the Iodlans have r&amp;
turned to the French."
It was disheartening news for the
leader to hear. I do not know that I
would have Imparted It bad Governor
Morris kept silent. Aort yet It would
have been deadly wrong to have
blinded the general to the truth ot
the situation. I could bave told him
It was too late to send belts to the
lake tribes: but as that was my he·
lief and not an established fact my
constlence permitted me to keep ruy
mouth ~;;hut
·
"After all, sir," soothed Mr. Frank·
lin, "Fort Duquesne will fall to Gen·
erul Brltdrlock's veterans nod not be·
cause of the wavering allegiance of
the natives. 'J.'he trifles are with us
today and accept presents from
I~ranre tomorrow.
And on another
day they will come hatk to us. The
truth of the matter Is, sir, the Indians
favor neither English nor French, and
would heartily rejoire If the two race!'~
would cut each other's throats until
not a white man was left In North
America."
This speech made an lmpresston.
and Braddock agreed:
"Aye. The1·e's sound sense In that.

Then his excellency proceerted to
question me closely as to the physical

structures and was marking out the
twelve-foot stockade on the riverside

He dismissed me with a ftirt ot his
thick hnnd.
Governor Morris motioned for me
to follow him down the hall, and exphlined I was to wait while he wrote
a letter for me to give to Geor!!e ('roghan. He smiled wearily and mor·
mered:

believed he would blame the be11rer

He did not seem to comprehend the

too many, and I got no farther than
the gate.
Early astir, I ute at a market-stall

it. Finally he remarkecl:
''My white brother has come from

"My father Is n :;!host. There Is no
home for me In Alexnodria. My fa·

Ae was silent for a few minutes.
then asked:
"You carry nelts for Onas?" ('t'be
governor of Pennsylvaoln .)
"I carry a talking-paper to George
Croghan." I told him, tapping the
breast of my hunting shirt. "The big
chief from over the stinking water
hns asked me to get men with long
l'ifles for his army. And I have said
I would go to Duquesne again. Ooes
the man of the Wolf go with me?"
He rose and allowert his blanket to
drop down on his loins. During my
absence he had repainted white the
paw on his chest. the totem mark of
his clan, and he was oiled 'or war. I
knew he WR!t Pn~Pr to hP OPPn In thP

As I walked behind him, as much

not for my clishe veled hair, I described
the gallant appearance of the army liS
It marched out of Alexandria. His
only co~ment was:
"Big noise. The Swannock-Engll!i&gt;hmeo-cannot shoot wlth drums."
I answered that the soldiers would
have no chance to use their guns b&amp;
cause of the weak condition of the
fort and ~arrlson. A year enrller.
when Mr. Waslliugton marched out of
Fort Necessity, the situation might
have been different. Then Duquesne
wa!'l garrisoned by close to a thou&amp;aod
men under the command of veterans.
Twelve months had ~eo a change
In conditions. The portage at Niagara
bad slowed up the arrival of stores
from Canada. The horses expected
from Presqu' tsle had not been deliv·
ered. The garrison bad heeo weak·
ened by the sending back of troops to
Canada.
Those bringing supplies from Oanadll arrived attired tn rich velvets and
genial from rare wines, hut with their
sacks empty. Waste and confusion
bad bllgnted the tine spirit ot DuQuesne's defenders. l bad learned this
much from Captain Beaujeu who bad
readily accepted me as a loyal French·

Simply Couldn't "See" Chow Puppies at $50
"In front of a fashionably located
dog ~ore window containing a ellsplay of Chow puppies, I saw two
Chinamen laughing and slapping each
other on the back in tlleir outbursts of
glee. I don't know when I ever saw
Chinamen so emotional. Otit of curl·
osity I sauntered near and tried to
see what had amused them. lt wasn't
any cute antics of the Chow puppies,
because all were a!!'leep. Finally, I
asl•ed one of the Chinamen what they
were laughing at. This brought u
fresh outburst, but, after gaining con·
trol of himself, the one who seemed
to have the, best command of English
pointed to a small sign which I had
not previously noticed. It gave the
price of puppies as S50 each. That
price was what made the Chinamen
laugh.
"Dogs like that tn China cost ft'
cents-maybe ten cents," one o.t them
e:~:plalned.

"But how about a tralr:ed dog?" 1
a!:'ked. "Suppose it was an extra
good dog?"
"Ob, thirty-fl' cents," declared the
more conversa tional one, nod his
friend nodded agreement.
"Then what does a cat cost 1'' 1 In·
qui red.
''Cat, him cost more," promptly replied my new acQuaiotar.ce. "Good
cat catch mice-cost $2."-Fred Kelly

I was in advanced stages of T. B.
''I bave taken ~·our wonderful medicine nil winter. Sometimes I would
neglect taking it every hour, but
would take several doses a day, and

all gone. I do all of my houseworlt
now except washing; weight 117
pounds, and feel tine.
"I can't praise your Emulsion
enough. I tell every one I talk to
what It has done for me and feel
ashamed if I neglect it sometimes
when I know what it has done for

ALWAYS KEEPS

Words won't dye a
dress, or coat, or sweater. It takes
real anilines to do that. That's why Diamond Dyea ,
contain from three to five ti111es more ani~
than any other dye-by actual test.
It'~ the anilines in Diamond Dyes that do thlt
work; that give the colors such brilliance; such •
depth and permanence. It's real aniline that keeps
them from giving things that re-dyed look; fro~
spotting or streaking,
Next time you have dyeing to do-try Diamond
~~:S~=~~r' Dyes. Then compare results. See how soft, bright,
~
new~looking the colors are.. Observe how they keelJ
their brilliance through wear and washing. Your dealer;
will refund your money if you don't agree Diamond Dyes are better dyes.
The white package of Diamond Dye~ is the ori?inal; "all-purpose" dy~ for.
any and every kind of material. It w1ll dye or tmt stl~ wool, c~tton, linen,
rayon or any mixture of materials. The blue package ~s a spcc1~l dye, for"

"When you serve children
This Wonderful Health Food"
''KARO syrup is the ideal food for the under·
weight child,"writes an eminent children's
physician.
And he explains why:
Two tablespoonfuls of Karo in a glass of milk
improves its taste and doubles the food value
of the milk.
There are 120 calories per ounce in Karowhich means Karo is a great energy foodcontaining nearly double the energy value of eggs
and lean beef, weight for weight.
What is good for children is
splendid for the entire family.
Keep Karo on the table- serve
plenty of it-on pancakes, biscuits,
waffies.

constipation or diarrhea; eff&lt;'ctive, too,
for older children. Twcnty.five million

Too much rich food forms acic1:1
which excite and overwork the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from
the system. Flush the kidness occa·

waste and poison, else you may fee\
n dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, the stomach sours,
tongue is coated, nnd when the weather is bad you h·ave rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment.
the channels often get irritated, obligIng one to get up two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
ncids and flush off the body's urinous
waste, begin drinking water. Also get
nbout four ounces of Jad Snits from
any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful
in a glass of wnter before breakfast
for a few days nnd your lddncys may
then act fine and bladder disorders
disappear. '
This famous salts is made from th~
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthla, and has been used
for years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is Inexpensive and
makes a dellghtful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men
and women take now nnd then to
help prevent serious kidney and bladder disorders. By all means, drlnlr
lots of good wnter every day.

changed since Dr. C'-aldwell left :Medical
College in 1875, nor since be placed on

the market the laxative pres&lt;:ription he
had used in his practice,
He treated constipa.tion, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositioas
entirely by mea.ns of simple vcgeta.ble
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the baais of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a. combination of senna. a.nd
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa.o
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs 1
.A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and froo from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,

That there are now few farms for
rent in the Dal;otas, Kansas, ~ebras­
ka, Colorado and \Y,roming is evi·
&lt;iencecl by replies .iust receired by
President F. K Williamson of the
1 l3urliugton railway system to &lt;1neries
sent to local bunkers on behalf of
r .e rsons who dt&gt;sired to rent farms.
The results indicate that somebody
must be making money out of farms.

A bill by Hepresentath·e Little,
Champaig n, repeals the act of the session two years ago permitting members of the general assembly to carry
star·s on the front and r·ear of their
automobiles. The practice has been
abused, many members helieYe, hence
the movement to repeal the law.

Whether or not the act of the last
g!'neral u;;sembl~· prohibiting the filing
of ou;;ter proceedings a gainst the cons;,itutionnl officers will be r ep ealed at
the present session is still a question.
The t·epeal measure, offered by Senator Wood s of Chicago is s till before
tile senate judiciary committee.

HERE are certain times when
nearly every woman should accept
the aid and comfort of Bayer Aspirin.
Not just for the unexpected headache
these tablets relieve so readily. Not
just for colds which they check so
quickly. Bayer Aspirin brings ease on
the days too many women still submit
to pain that is not natural,not necessary.
This relief is perfectly harmless, as in
all uses. Remember this! Look for
Bayer on the box and follow
proven directions found inside.

CURRENT EVENTS
Hoover's Cabinet Accepted
by the Senate-Serious
Rebellion in Mexico.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

RESIDENT IIOOVER'S first official act of consequence was to
submit to the senate the names of
eight men whom he had selected for
his cabinet. Radical senators were
nil set to make n fight against confirmation of Andrew :\Iellon for secretary of the treasury, hut, as was explained in these columns some time
ago, It was not necessm·y fo1• l\Ir.
Hoover to send in 111r. Mellon's name,
since he is a holdover, so the radicals \\ere circumvented. l\1al\ing no
in,·idious distinction, the President
also omitted from the list Secretary
of Labor James J. Davis, the other
member of the Coolidge cabinet who
was retained.
The senate without hesitation confirmed the eight names sublllitted.
They are:
Henry Lewif'l Slimson Of New Yorl,,
secretary of !?tate.
.Tames William Good of Illinois, secretar:v of war.
Wiitiam Dewitt l\1itr~1ell of ::llinnesotn, nttornt•y gene1·al.
Walter Fvlger Brown of Ohio, postmaf::ter genern I.
Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, secretary of the navy.
Ray Lyman Wilbur of California,
secretary of the interior.
Arthut· M:. Ilyde of .1\iissouri, secretary of agriculture.
Robert Patte1·son Lamont of Illinois,
secretary of commerce.
After a sharp debate the senate
adopted a resolution offered by McKellar of Tennessee ordering the judiciary c-ommittee to investigate Secretary Mellon's right to continue in
the cabinet without reappointment
and to dete1·mine if he has violated
un old law that prohibits treasury
officials from engaging in any business. It was not believed in Washington tl1at this action would bring
about results adverse to l\Ir. 1\lellon.
The serretary of the treasury, it was
reported. intended to hold the office
for not more than t\YO years.
Since 1\Ir. Stimson is on his way
home from the Philippinrs, where he
has been go,·ernor general, Secretary
of State Kellogg consented to remain
in office until his successor arrives in
Washington and qualifies. Ln genernl
the President's cabinet selections met
with wa1·m approval.
On Thursday President Hoover issued the call for the extraordinary
session of congress, to open April 15.
He said in the proclamation that the
purpose is "to effect further agricultural relief and legislation for limited
changes of the tariff."
Dul'ing his first days in the White
House l\Ir. Hoover received throngs
of congratulating callers from all
parts of the country, and also he settled down to the business Of conducting the affairs of the nation. He tofU
the newspaper correspondents he desired to continue the periodical press
conferences and to develop them In di·
rectious that would assist both the
press and the President. He conferred with Senator Smoot and Representative Tilson concerning the calling of the extraordinary session of
congress for farm relief and tariff re&gt;ision, and with Attorney General
Mitchell concerning the appointment
of the commission to Investigate the
administration of justice and especially the enforcement of prohibition. His
emphatic words concerning law enforcement in his inaugural address
were especially pleasing to all the
church and dry organizations, and
they pt-esented him with their felicitations hand illumined on parchm;)nt
tmd bound in tooled leather gold embossed. 1\lr, lloo&gt;er desires to place
the entire prohibition enforcement

nei~hbors that affected them deeply.

M

llotb of them were sincerely glad to
resume their unpretentious home life,
and Mrs. Coolidge especially seemed
gay and happy. To the reporters Mr.
Coolidge said, Interviewing himself,
that he is not going to practice law
in Northampton or anywhere else at
present; that the se&gt;eral contracts he
has made for magazine articles are all
he contemplates now in that llne; that
he will not write a boo!{ and will not
make any speeches. He will not travel In foreign countries this summer,
believing there are plenty of interesting
places in the United States to be seen.
Gen. Ch::u·les G. Dnwes, late Vice
President, hastened bncl{ to Chicago
and at once resumed work in the bnnk
with which he ·was long connected.
He was made chairman of the board.

President, put into etTect. At first the
rebels under General Aguirre gained
possession of Yera Cruz and othet· important cities. Gen. Gonznlo Escobar
was sent by the gorernment to 1\Ionterey to comlJat the revolutionaries.
but on arrival there he joined the rebels and wns mncle military chief or
the movement. President Po1·tes Gil
appointed Calles secretary of war, an1l
under vigorous direction the federal
troops regained possession of lllonterey, Ol'izaba, and other strategic
points. Aguirre in Vera Cruz state
was deserted by most of his men, anfl
Escobar was said to IJe surrounded by
three strong armies. The government
issued a bulletin predicting the earl~·
collapse of the enti1·e rebellion, an 1J
dispatches from Ambassador l\lorrow
indicated the same belief.
It was stated at the White House In
Washing1on that the new administration \\'Ould continue to inforce the embargo on arms sl1ipments to lllexican
rebels that was maintained by President C'oolidge, but that licensed arms
shipments would be pet·mitted to go
forward to l\lexico City if requested
by the l\Iexican goyernment. The
State department said every effort was
IJeing made to preYent the smuggling
of arms across the border.

document to a Utrecht newspaper was
arrested and confessed that It was a

He was set free by a Belgian judge and declared he was really

there was no prospect of action, for
tbe council felt the problem was too
big to be settled now and should be
studied by a subcommittee. Sir Austen Chamberlain, British secretary for
foreign affairs, said: "'l'he rights of

MAKES IT -and how?
Is it simple, and easy to keep
in order? Will it do its job-and
keep on doing it?
Aren't these the questions you
want answered before you invest
your money in a tractor and every·
thing else you use on the farm?
It's the same way with radio.
Here's an instrument your family
will depend upon for years and
years. You want to know iL's al.
ways ready to go.
Atwater Kent Radio comes from
the largest manufacturer. It is
made of better materials than are
ordinarily thought
necessary. So strictly
is its reputation
guarded that one out
of every eight workers
is a tester or inspector
-and every set has to
pass 222 tests before it
can leave the factory.

House current or battery setsyour choice
Quality Atwater Kent Radio-first choice
of rural families everywhere-is offered
in two forms: 1. For all-electric opera•
tion direct from the same house current
that lights your home; you merely plug
in. 2. For operation from batteries.
Either way, you get
plenty of power for longrange reception, natural
tone, and inslnntaneous
pro"ram selection with
the "FuLL -VISION Dial.
There are several all-elec•
tricmodelsand two bnuery

ALKING to a roomful of high
school girls on personal hygiene,
an experienced district nurse said:
"One of the basic rules of health for
~rirls is to keep the system functioning
naturally at all times. Normal exercise
and diet habits should be encouraged.
But when necessary there's no harm in
taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal
functions of any organ of the body.
Particularly with girls, there are times
when nujol should always be taken
Take a spoonful every night for a few
days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or
gas pains or griping."
.,
Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter '
how you are feeling because it is so
pure :tnd harmless, and works so
easily. Every woman should keep a
bottle on hand. Every druggist has ~his
remarkablesubstance. Get the genuine.

SYNOPSIS
Impoverished by the open-handed
generosity of his father, VIrginia
gentleman, young Webster Brond
Ia serving as a scout and spy tor
the army under General Braddock
preparing for the advance on Fort
Duquesne. He has just returned to
Alexandria from a visit to the
fort, where, posing as a French·
man, he has secured valuable Information. Braddock, bred to European warfare, ralls to realize the
Importance or the news.

CHAPTER !-Continued

Governor Morns rurther mollified
the truscible cumwuoder by suying:
"I will send George Croghan a lettel', directing 11Im to start belts to the
lake tribes. Ue stnntls next to WU
linm Johnson In comprehending In·
dian nature and lnflm•nce over them
It any man can bring In the Oela·
wares,

'l'wlghtwees, (Miami)), and the Pianknsbaws. it is Croghan."
"When I last talked with Mr. Wash·
lngton he In for rued me there were
three hundred Iroquois, who left the
Ohio last winter. and who are now
ready to march with us," said Grad
dock, Ills face losing some of its dour
expression.
I glunced at Governor Morris anc:l
fancied I detected symptoms of uneasiness. He knew what 1 was think·
lng, and, while he much disliked at
that time to dash any of Braddock'!'
hopes, he announced:
"I regret, sir, that the IroQuois you
mention are no longer under our cOD·
trot. Pennsylvania fed them from t.he
latter part of last year until this
spring. My last advice from Philadelphia Is that the assembly has voted
to go to no further expense In their
behalf and that the Iodlans have r&amp;
turned to the French."
It was disheartening news for the
leader to hear. I do not know that I
would have Imparted It bad Governor
Morris kept silent. Aort yet It would
have been deadly wrong to have
blinded the general to the truth ot
the situation. I could bave told him
It was too late to send belts to the
lake tribes: but as that was my he·
lief and not an established fact my
constlence permitted me to keep ruy
mouth ~;;hut
·
"After all, sir," soothed Mr. Frank·
lin, "Fort Duquesne will fall to Gen·
erul Brltdrlock's veterans nod not be·
cause of the wavering allegiance of
the natives. 'J.'he trifles are with us
today and accept presents from
I~ranre tomorrow.
And on another
day they will come hatk to us. The
truth of the matter Is, sir, the Indians
favor neither English nor French, and
would heartily rejoire If the two race!'~
would cut each other's throats until
not a white man was left In North
America."
This speech made an lmpresston.
and Braddock agreed:
"Aye. The1·e's sound sense In that.

Then his excellency proceerted to

He dismissed me with a ftirt ot his
thick hnnd.
Governor Morris motioned for me
to follow him down the hall, and exphlined I was to wait while he wrote
a letter for me to give to Geor!!e ('roghan. He smiled wearily and mor·
mered:

"You carry nelts for Onas?" ('t'be

"I carry a talking-paper to George
Croghan." I told him, tapping the
breast of my hunting shirt. "The big

Simply Couldn't "See" Chow Puppies at $50
"In front of a fashionably located
dog ~ore window containing a ellsplay of Chow puppies, I saw two
Chinamen laughing and slapping each
other on the back in tlleir outbursts of
glee. I don't know when I ever saw
Chinamen so emotional. Otit of curl·
osity I sauntered near and tried to
see what had amused them. lt wasn't
any cute antics of the Chow puppies,
because all were a!!'leep. Finally, I
asl•ed one of the Chinamen what they
were laughing at. This brought u
fresh outburst, but, after gaining con·
trol of himself, the one who seemed
to have the, best command of English
pointed to a small sign which I had
not previously noticed. It gave the
price of puppies as S50 each. That
price was what made the Chinamen
laugh.
"Dogs like that tn China cost ft'
cents-maybe ten cents," one o.t them
e:~:plalned.

"But how about a tralr:ed dog?" 1
a!:'ked. "Suppose it was an extra
good dog?"
"Ob, thirty-fl' cents," declared the
more conversa tional one, nod his
friend nodded agreement.
"Then what does a cat cost 1'' 1 In·

"Have been thinking for some time
of writing you in regard to Milks
Emulsion.
•'When I wrote you last fall I was
very much discouraged. Doctors had
told me for five years that I had T.
B. Five doctors told me last fall that
I was in advanced stages of T. B.
''I bave taken ~·our wonderful medicine nil winter. Sometimes I would
neglect taking it every hour, but
would take several doses a day, and
this i!'l the first winter for seven yPars
that I haven't spent most of the winter In bed. I Iwven•t been in bed sick
this winter, and for two years I had
been ::;o sore across my abdomen I
couldn't bear to press on it. That is
all gone. I do all of my houseworlt
now except washing; weight 117
pounds, and feel tine.
"I can't praise your Emulsion
enough. I tell every one I talk to
what It has done for me and feel
ashamed if I neglect it sometimes
when I know what it has done for
rue and what lt means for me.
"1 could write all day noel could
never write enough good words about
l\lllks Emulsion." Yours truly, Mrs.

ALWAYS KEEPS

Words won't dye a
dress, or coat, or sweater. It takes
real anilines to do that. That's why Diamond Dyea ,
contain from three to five ti111es more ani~
than any other dye-by actual test.
It'~ the anilines in Diamond Dyes that do thlt
work; that give the colors such brilliance; such •
depth and permanence. It's real aniline that keeps
them from giving things that re-dyed look; fro~
spotting or streaking,
Next time you have dyeing to do-try Diamond
~~:S~=~~r' Dyes. Then compare results. See how soft, bright,
~
new~looking the colors are.. Observe how they keelJ
their brilliance through wear and washing. Your dealer;
will refund your money if you don't agree Diamond Dyes are better dyes.
The white package of Diamond Dye~ is the ori?inal; "all-purpose" dy~ for.
any and every kind of material. It w1ll dye or tmt stl~ wool, c~tton, linen,
rayon or any mixture of materials. The blue package ~s a spcc1~l dye, for"
silk or wool only. With it you can dye your valuable artrcles of s1lk or wool
with results equal to the finest professional work. When ,YOU buy-rem.embe~
this. The blue package dyes silk or wool only. The wl11te package wtll dy~

"When you serve children
This Wonderful Health Food"
''KARO syrup is the ideal food for the under·
weight child,"writes an eminent children's
physician.
And he explains why:
Two tablespoonfuls of Karo in a glass of milk
improves its taste and doubles the food value
of the milk.
There are 120 calories per ounce in Karowhich means Karo is a great energy foodcontaining nearly double the energy value of eggs
and lean beef, weight for weight.
What is good for children is
splendid for the entire family.
Keep Karo on the table- serve
plenty of it-on pancakes, biscuits,
waffies.

changed since Dr. C'-aldwell left :Medical
College in 1875, nor since be placed on

the market the laxative pres&lt;:ription he
had used in his practice,
He treated constipa.tion, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositioas
entirely by mea.ns of simple vcgeta.ble
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the baais of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a. combination of senna. a.nd
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa.o
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs 1
.A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and froo from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,

A bill by Hepresentath·e Little,

the present session is still a question.
The t·epeal measure, offered by Senator Wood s of Chicago is s till before

HERE are certain times when
nearly every woman should accept
the aid and comfort of Bayer Aspirin.
Not just for the unexpected headache
these tablets relieve so readily. Not
just for colds which they check so
quickly. Bayer Aspirin brings ease on
the days too many women still submit
to pain that is not natural,not necessary.
This relief is perfectly harmless, as in
all uses. Remember this! Look for
Bayer on the box and follow
proven directions found inside.

CHAPTER II
-2Sonya Geta a New Name.

By early dawn Sonya was up and
dressed, her saddlebags replenished
wltb such remedies as she might need
ror her battle wttb Old Man Death tn
the hogan beyond Chee wash. Darkness, full fed and watered, waited patiently tn the patio. She stood In the
dlm kitchen wlth a cup of cotree Ln
one hand, a hastily made sandwich
ln the other, and talked lowly to Llla.
"It's going to be a hard day, old
dear," she said, "and I mny not get
back tonight. If I don't, don't worry.
I'll be wlth Two Fingers and the
babies and poor Llttle Moon. I! she
1eems to be going, I'll not leave her."
"No," said Lila, "no, of' c11urse not.
I know. What shall I tell Rod when
he gets up?"
"Hf knows I'm golog-I told hlm
hnlt Alght-but not that I might stay
over. Tell him again how lt Is with
L!ttle Moon-and mention the babies."
"They're just dirty little Navajos to
hlm."
"'l'hey're tragic babies just the
same," said Sonya sharply, "and he
will have to see lt. Well, so long.
I'm otr."
She set down her empty cup, pulled
on her gloves, and went softly out.
She hugged Darkness' nose, which
nudged her breast after a little rl~
tL&gt;ot '1:1:81!1 common 1 oetw=a U&gt;"m. ~':.1m"
went up bls tall side and Into her old
saddle with the easy grace of a worktog cow hand.
The big horse, hard as Iron and perfect In training, leaned to the almost
lmperceptlble motion of hand and
rein on his neck, and trotted out ot
tb.e patio. Once on the sandy stretch
or level country he rolled away In a
long and tireless lope, a harbinger of
hope, a bringer of comfort to the
lowly.
Far to the south and west Sonya
could see Lone Mesa. She loved the
great tableland. Times without number she had climbed Its steep trall on
Darkness, to ride Its three-by-five-mile
top, to sit In the sun beside Its ancient
pueblo walls with their rotting ladders, to stand on Its sharp·cut rlm aod
scan the lone world below. Until yesterday nothing had ever disturbed her,
nothing disputed her right or wayuntil yesterday.
At the thought her face flushed red
with anger at the man who had ridden
her down to the mesa's edge and
pulled her from her saddle, his handsome face aflame with rapine. She
l'elt the blood burn along her cheeks.
It was resentment she felt, the fierce
rage of indlgoatlon that anyone or
anything should Interfere with her
freedom and her right to it. Her dark
eyes were hot with It, her soft mouth
set ln a prim Hoe. But the look she
gave the mesa as she rode along beneath it was neither fearful nor resigned. It was a look of promise, as
lt some stubborn thing wlthlo her
would take her to Its lonely heights
more often than usual now.
The sun came up as she and Darkness entered the broad mouth ol Chee
wash with lts red sandstone walls,
and a little later they came In sight ot
tlle hogan or Two Fingers. A round,
low habitation of a single room, laid
up of' t!at stones one above another,
like flakes ot prehistoric dough, It
faced the east, as all hogans must.
From Its central rise a thin thread of
smoke ucended. Something caught
at Sonya's heart-It was so stark and
poor a home, Its people so helpless.
':two Fingers met her beside the water
hole. He was a man of around thirty,
weathered like dark leather, his patient face as native to the land as
Lone Mesa ttsel!, and there was about
him a simple dlgn!ty,aa there was about
the poorest of these Indians. He wore
a blue fiannel shirt, corduroy pants
b.eld by a sliver-studded belt, and his
hair was long and bound in two neat
doubled flares on the back or his head.
Thou~b. he spoke fair English aod bad
a sizable band of' sheep, this manner
of' wearing hls hair stamped hlm as a
"wlld buck,'' one of those who had
not yet become entirely civlllzed. For
one thing, Two Fingers did not drink,
and f'or another, he still worshiped hls
ancient gods. Sonya liked him.
Now she said, "Hello, Two Fingers.
How Is she this morning?"
"Bad," be said briefly and reaclled
tor Darkness' rein.

Sonya swong Jowo and took otr her
saddleiJags.
A.s she entered the hogan her lips
set themselves In a shnrp, unconscious
line. Bad was right, she thought.
There was the smell of death here.
She would need to gird her loins today ln all truth.
At first the dusky shadows hid the
Interior from her sight. Then, as her
eyes adjusted themselves, she set
down her bags and knelt beside the
first heap of skins and blankets which
lay on the sandy floor.
There were three of' these flat beds.
In the farther one the two children
still slept heavily. In this one Little
Moon lay, panting with rever, her big
black eyes beautiful In the dim light.
"Courage, little mother,'' Sonya said
ln Navajo, "I am with you."
The Indian woman amlled, touched
her hand wlth timid fingers.
She took the draught which the
other gave her presently, and watched
her as she set about cooking some oat•
meal over tbe coals ot the tlny fire.
Thla 1t was which had made Sonya
the Idol. o:C these poor and slient people, thla aervlce of heart and hand
which had saved them, literally, from
death In many cases. She f'ought for
what sanitation she could produce

Now she bathed the hot brown body
under the blankets, gave Little Moon
the thinned cereal as a drink, waked
and washed the children, fed them the
rest of the oatmeal, ate two pieces of
f'rled mutton and some crnckers with
Two Fingers, and stood for a while
outside the hogan in the morning

She felt wonderful herself, strong
and high within, as lt she set her
body against a wall and could not be
backed down. This was the gauge of
battle ln her, that she knew, the deep
determination to win In what she set
herself to do, the passionate sympath.J and pity which were like a steel

would be here by mldafteroooo. Her
mouth set a little harder, her blnck
eyes were narrow between their dusky
lashes. She squatted pntlently by the
heap of skins and blankets, her fin·
gers on Little Moon's hot wrist.
So the hours passed-nod the crisis
came, a tense, panting hour, with the
silver thread In the llttle tube running
up a ghastly record, and the patient
dark head rolling at last 1n uoeodul'able sutrerlng.
Sonya held the moving hands, bathed
the drawn face.
"Hold tight-hold-tight-steadysteady,'' she kept saying In Navajo,
"hold tight, llttle mother."
· And after a timeless space when she
neither moved nor took her eyes from
the other'• features, there came a
creeping stillness, a hush, a cessation
ot movement. The weary head dropped
sidewise, the thin hands became quiet.
Sonya loosed them and reached for
her stethoscope, her hypodermic filled

1terlle water. This was the crux, and
she must not fall-for Two Flngera

With the sun on the western rim
of the austere desert the Indian came
up the wash with one chUd asleep on
hls shoulder, the other on his back.
Far off he saw Sonya standing at
the hogan's door and stopped a long
moment to study with hls eagle eyes
her pose, her manner.
She stood tall and straight, and one
hand was laid high up on the bleached
pole of the doorway, the other rested
on her hlp. Her head was up, too,
and at the sight Two Fingers swun~
out ln a swift dog-trot.
"It ts well, Blue South Woman," he
Bald with conviction as he came to
her; "you have saved her."
''It 11 well," said Sonya proudly and
amlled lnto his dark face.
Without another word he went Into
the hogan and looked down at Little

upon her skin.
So the night came down, blue With
Its dark sky, silver with Its stars, and
Sonya lay down on the second pile o:C

Two Fingers sat all night In the
hogan's door, and none might know

She looked up at the high blue sky
with Its salllng, full white clouds, her
mind an attitude of prayer, and turning, ll!ted the blanket which was the

Two Fingers gathered the babies
and made ready to depart, according
to her request made a moment back.
She wanted the day alone, clear vistoned for the crisis, nothing within
sight to distract her. The mao looked
down at the woman on the low bed,
holding one child, leading the other,
and the woman looked up.
They said nothing.
It might be their last look on earth,
their eternal parting, for all they
knew, yet there was no outcry, no slgo
of sorrow, nothing but that deep look.
P erha ps nothing more was needed.
Then Two Fingers went away, and
the women were alone ln the hogan.
"We meet the enemy," said Sonya,

The other nodded.
"It Is good," said Sonya.
And the day of battle began.

Seek Some Method
to Use Lightning
Much Electric Energy Ia Lost
Each Year.
Washington.-One billion kilowatts
of electrical energy Is poured down on
the earth every year by thunderbolts,
the American Meteorological society
was told here recently at its annual
meeting.
The tremendous potentialities for
power from the clouds, at present out
or the reach of mao, were described
by Dr. B. F. J. Schonlaod, director
of research for the lost! tute ot Electrical Engineers, at Johannesburg,
South Africa.
The studies of the various phases of
lightning and thunderbolts have been
undertaken, Doctor Schonland said,
with the hope that knowledge of the
mechanism and nature of th1mderbolts
may enable man to utilize at least
part of the tremendous electrical en~rgy being constantly built up In the
clouds and discharged to the earth.
Much New Information,
The latest research to make llghtn!ng divulge Its secrets has already
yielded much new information 1111 to
the speed of lightning, Its manner o!
building up voltages, and the amounts
of these voltages, Doctor Schonland
8111d.
Measurements of the electric potential In the cloud show that each centimeter of cloud has a voltage or 10,000,
or more than 1,500,000,000 volts per
linear mlle. Generally, the voltage Is
dissipated before it reaches this high

"Miaa Hawkah.aw''

potential, though some thunderbolts
have been estimated to reach 1,000,000,000 volts.
By far the largest part of the electrical energy in the cloud, fully ninetenths of It, Is discharged Inside the
cloud before It reaches the earth, and
only one-tenth Is discharged In the
bolts that reach the ground, the research shows.
The electrical potential of 25,400
volts to the Inch, It was determined, Is
bullt up by the splitting of drops or
water In the cloud.
The top or the cloud, the experiments show, Is positively charged,
whlle tbe base of the cloud Is negative.
The large drops have a positive charge
and the small have a negative one. By
gravitation the large drops fall down
from the top of the cloud to a lower
level, where the small negative drops
are discharged.
"Leading" Flash.
The downward movement of the
large droplets carrying positive electricity, Doctor Schonlnnd stated, accounts for nine-tenths or the discharge,
and this takes place within the cloud.
The negative charge from the base of
the cloud to the earth accounts for
the remaining one-tenth of the charge.
The latest findings, Doctor Schonland added, dispute the theory promulgated several years ago by Prof. G. C.
Simpson of London, that the base of
the cloud Is positively charged, while
Its top Is negative. Experiments, he
said, show the opposite to be the case.
By the device of a special camera
Doctor Schonland, In collaboration
with H. Collens of South Africa, it
bas been possible to make photographs
of lightning which furnish data for
measuring Its speed.

The malo flash travels in the opposite direction from the "leader," startIng upward from the earth, from the

The length of the "leader" was found
to vary from 1.6 to 4.7 mlles. The

tense preparation but also work of the
hardest kind in carrying them on.
Some person has remarked that the
life of a doctor is a slavish life if you
have something to do and equally exasperating If you have nothing to do.
This statement might be true of any
of the other professions. They all require work of the hardest kind If success is to be the reward of earnest
and self-sacrificing effort.
But there Is another kind or work
which is not generally regarded as of
the professional type; and upon which
some educators not only look with disfavor but as something to be avoided.
We read learned articles on topics
such as, "The value of leisure," "Passing of the day of toil," "Live by your
wits," "Rise above toil," etc. In other
words there seems to be an effort to
direct the mind of youth away from
manual work as contrasted with the
professional career. It Is the opinion
of many thoughtful persons that the
professions are already overcrowded
and that there must be a larger return
of youth to the trades and the soil.
All economic stabillty originated from
the soil and perhaps It is to the soil
that the majority most return 'ere we
have a stabilized permanent prosperity.

AD unusual hazard which golfers made sure to avoid was thls graybird's

nest on the first fairway at Renmor golf course, Detroit. The manager found
three eggs in the hole almost ready to batch, and immediately had workmen
put up a foot-high screen to protect the little ones from tractors, mowing equip.
ment and golr balls. To add to this formidable protection, Major, a pollee dog
belonging to one of the caddies, took an interest In the proceedings and delegated himself as guardian or the nest. Both the screen and Major were left
on guard until the eggs were hatched and the little grayblrd family was up
and about. In the photograph Major is eying a couple of golf balls which have
landed a bit too close to the nest.

New York.-Phloxtne, a dye closely
related to os-dinary mercurochrome,
which when Irradiated with actual, or
artltlclal, sunllght, can destroy cancer
cells and leave certain types of normal
cells nnlJarmed, recently has been announced by John F. :\Ienke, an embryologist, ot Carnegie Institution. To
date, however, the principle hu been
applled only to cultures ot cancerous
cells ou tslde the body.
When a small amount of the unlrradlated dye was added to the blood
which formed tood for the cella 111 eultore, the cancer cells were una1fected
untll after having been subjected to
sunlight, or strong light. Menke reports that when llvin&amp; cancer cells In
the culture media which contained the
dye were subjected to light for ftve
minutes they died. Coincidentally, the
healthy normal cells forming the struc·
ture of the cancer tissue were unharmed nod remained allve.
"This dye absorbs the llght and
becomes actl,•atecl,'' Menke explained.
"In thts activated condltlon the dye
produces chemical changes in the protoplasm of the cancer cells, whi~h
cause the cells to die." Why the Irradiated dye Is fatal to cancer cells
and non-Injurious to certain ot the
normal CPll~ is not known.

The new truck with a small wood

going ability was concerned. A few

Tokyo and Nagoya.
It was found necessary, however, to
have an extra motor conveyance accompany the truck on its trial run
to supply the fuel, which must be in
small sizes.
Japan spends some 150,000,000 yeo
for motor fuel annually and the
army's expenditures are large.

This signature is familiar to
you if you follow the cartoons
that appear regularly in this

you are not following them,

Kettner ranks as one of the
great cartoonists of the country. His cartoons reflect an
unusual insight into human
nature and an extremely keen
sense of humor. There is never
a sting or an unpleasant suggestion in any of them, but
there is always an idea or a
thought that is worth while.

DR. WALTER BIERRING

JOHNSON DENOUNCED
IN DARROW REPORT

Greater New Deal Outlined
to Congress.

Blunt Note Suggests Debt
Payment in Goods.

Removal of Administrator
Is Suggested.

Washlngton.-The pattern of a
~ew Deal-a soctal order
promising security tor all through Insurance a~alnst unemployment and old
age and planned m;e of natural resources-wall presented to congress by
President Roosevelt in a special message.
Regarded by the White House as
one of the most Important documents
ever transmitted to Capitol Hill by
this administration. the message encompassed the whole national economIc picture and charted for the next
congress the new reforms Mr. Roosevelt seeks.
The President showed his purpose
of remaking American existence; of
transferring whole populations; of
abandoning millions of acres of farm
lands and of sending the people of
these areas by the hundred thousands
on to newly reclaimed lands.
In the vision he held before congress
Mr. Roosevelt saw the federal government ordering these lives In a new
planned existence, and ordering also
a new controlled use of all the lauds
and resources of the nation.
He spoke of adequately housing the
people, and of providing under federal
government supervision huge funds
for protecting them in times of unemployment and In old age.
The message was deemed unique
first In that It sought no specific legislation, but merely acquainted the congress with his purposes.
Security for the Individual, the
family, the home, was the tenrJr or
communication through which the
Presirlent skillfully wove the pattern
of his Greater New Deal. He suggested guarantees for the aged and
jobless after reviewlnl{ legislation
since 1933, calling attention to necessity for additional emergency measures at this session, and, finally,
bluntly warning that the lld on the
"pork barrel" had been nalled down
to stay.
"Next winter we may well under·
take the great task of furthering the
security of the citizen and his family
through social Insurance.'' the President said.

Washlngton.-the British goYern·
ment was bluntly toltl hy the United
States to Rtop beating about the bush
on the wnr debt question and offer
some positive suggestion for a compromise settlement.
Secretary of State Hull suggested
Britain advance a proposal to pay all
or part of her $4.000,000,000 debt in
goods or services inasmuch ns she
claims she lacks the cold cash. He
said the United States would be glad·
to entertain any such proposal.
The invitation was forwarded to the
British ambassador here, Sir Ronald
Lindsay, in a note from Hull remarkable for Its plain language and terse-

actions and again Insisted that mnny
codes are smothering small Industries and gouging consumers.

outright that two other olllclals or
the NRA be fired tor misconduct. On&amp;

and the other Is an employee of. the
lumber code authority, but the report
suppressed both their names.
Epithet after epithet was heaped upon Johnson l:ty Darrow and his colleagues for the way ln which the NRA
ltas arbitrarily decreed life and deatb
for Industries. Besides charging that
Johnson's high-handed tactics smack
of an "irresponsible dictatorship" the
board declared thnt they are worthless to the cause of recovery.
"The rule of the mllltary commnnder Is totally unsuited to the genius,
habits, traditions, or psychology of th&amp;
AmPrican people, and wholly ineffectual in meeting the present national
cril':iS," the board concluded bitterl~·.
This denunciation climaxed a lonsr:
series of disclosures by the Darrow·
hoard or how Johnson had written arbitrarv modifications Into codes.
llfa~y of these changes, Darrow
charged, l1ad later helped large Industries to oppress their small competitors.
.Johnson admitted writing changes
Into the retail dry goods code, aa
char~ed by the Darrow board, but declared that the President has the r ight
and power to make any change in any
code which he deems necessary. This
practice, as used by .Johnson on behalr
o:!' the President, the Darrow board
condemned unsparingly.

BAER WHIPS PRIMO
FOR WORLD TITLE
Camera Loses in a Technical
Knockout.
New York.-Max Baer, the clown
turned demon, is the new heavywei~ht
champion of the world. He won the
title at the Madison Square Garden
bowl on Lon~ Island on a technical
knockout In 2 minutes and 16 seconds
of the eleventh round of his scheduled
15 round encounter with Primo Carnera.
Referee Arthur Donovan, to whom
Baer had ohjected strenuously before
the fight, stopped the gory battle after
he had seen the erstwhile champion
hit the canvas 13 times, 12 of these
times from the force of the Californian
terror whom 'William Brown, New
York boxing commissioner. proclaimed
a poorly conditioned bum a short
week before the battle The time that
Carnera went to the floor without be·
In~ lcnoclced there came ln the 8th
round, when he went down In a clumsy
lun~e at the new champion.
Three times the American knocked
down the champion In the first round.
And three more times In the second
round and once in the third. Then
Max eased orr on the bouncing bus!·
ness until the tenth, though the action never slowed.
'l'here were many who thought the
fiaht had ended in th~ lOth when the
stunned Primo, on his feet arter -c, o
wallows In the resin stag;!ered to the
ropes In apparent surrender. But as
Referee Donovan went to his side and
asked him If he Intended to quit, the
bell rang. So the defending champion
was preserved for further mauling.
Thrice more in the 11th the 203 pound
man from Italy went down. first from
a right to the bead and then from a
two armed flaillng for which he
showed no defense.
The behemoth again stumbled in retreat to his own corner, with Refet·ee
Donovan In pursuit and Raer tensing
for the killing, but at the same time
Insisting that his quarry was out on
his feet. Primo's back wns to his attacker as Donovan grabbed his arm
and pulled him around. According to
Referee Donovan's btatPment later
Carnera told bim he wanted the
slaughter stopped, but when the official proclaimed Max the winner Primo
seemed surprised and chagrined.

Hull's suggestion that the American
government is open to proposals by
the debtors to mllke payments in goods
or services, coming with President
Roosevelt's signature on the new
tarltr act, was held especially sign!·
ficant. It marked the first official suggestion by this government that it
would consider payments In kind.
The suggestion to the British gov·
ernment was believed applicable to ull
the debtor governments, Including
Soviet Russia, and might open the way
for acceptance of millions of dollars
worth of commodities which the United States normally lmpot·ts each year.
The two commodities which It was
believed that Britain might most profitably offer ln payment of her debts are
rubber and tin. The United States
each year Imports approximately $87,000,000 worth of tin and hu~e amounts
of rubber. The major supplies of both
of these commodities are imported
from the British Straits Settlements.
Hull cntcgorically rejected the reasoning put forward by Britain in her
note of .rune 4 announcing suspension
of all further debt payments. He in·
formed the British government that it
was clearly Britain's responsibility to
initiate discussions looking to a revision of the debt agreements.
This, Hull said, Britain had failed
to do with the exception of the totally
un~atisfactory otter made last autumn
b:v Sir Leith Ross, special agents of
tl;e British treasury, who held a series
of conferences with President Roosevelt.

REXFORD GUY TUGWELL'S aPpearance before the senate agriculture committee to be quizzed as to
.hla 11tnesa tor the posltlon or undersecretary ot agriculture was rather tarclcal, even though It
brought on heated encounters among the
members of the committee. The senators
aired their own views
freely, but learned almost nothing concernIng those of Mr. Tugwell. He dld tell them
he believed the CcnR. 0 · Tugwell stltutlon was flexible
enough to take care or any necessary
~nomic changes; that he was opI)OSed to the adoption of Soviet planning by America, and that he thought
tlls experience on his father's farm
..and his research qualified him for the
position to which the President bad
.appointed him. Finally the committee
reported the nomination favorably, the
&lt;&gt;nly two opposing votes being those
&lt;&gt;! "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carotlna and Henry D. Hatfield or west
Virginia.
The action ot the committee assured TUgwell's confirmation by the
11enate, but the debate on the floor
was unexpectedly long and the attacks
.on Tugwell were outspoken. Senator
.Schall or Minnesota, for instance, said:
"Agriculture demands and already
has experiment stations deallng In
actual crops, llve stock, and markets.
It wants no 'bold experiments In colh&gt;cth•lsm' by a self-styled philosopher
who functions like a three card monte
~harp who jumps upon a box with
three shells and a pea and \vho entertains the public with his cry, 'Now
you see It and now you don't. Who Is
the next gent?'
"Tugwell's general denial, and his
spe&lt;'lfic denials, In the light of his associates In the field of political writIng, are absolutely worthless. They
are an Insult to an Intelligent jury.
He Insults the United States senate
tn order to gain a high office from
which he can preach 'collectivism' as
a suhst tute tor American Institutions
and tht~ (;onstltution."
"t l 7TITI.E the delegates of the steel
VV wor{(ms' unions were gathering
!n PltL'ib 1rgh to vote on the threat4'-ned strikt&gt;, President Roosevelt and
ltls advisers brought forward a plan
tor an emergency law designed to
.a vert the wallwut. It was admittedly
a temporary expedient to give the
President an effective agency for the
eonslderatlon or Industrial disputes
arising during the life or the NRA.
Under the new bill's terms, boards
selected by the President would be
empowered to order and conduct an
election, by a secret ballot, to determine "by what person or persons or
~rganlzatlons" employees may desire
to be represented In negotiations under the collective bargaining features
&lt;&gt;t the national recovery act.
The proposed boards also would
llave the authority to order production of pertinent documents and witnesses to give testimony under oath,
and their orders would be enforceable
by any United States court of competent jurisdiction, similar to !Ike privileges enjoyed by the federal trade
eommlsslon. Vested with authority to
vrescrlbe their own rules and regulations, the boards would be armed with
·a penalty clause In the new law, setting $1,000 fine or a year Imprisonment, or both, for violation of their
decrees.

ITS second report to the Pt·eslI Ndent
the national recovery review
board, headed by Clarence Darrow,
loosed another blast at Administrator
.Johnson and in effect recommended
his removal as head of the NRA. The
board said Johnson had given the re.C.'overy program an on-American and
dictatorial tinge that handicapped it
1n the war on depression; that he has
•trbltrarily decreed life and death for
1ndustries, and that by arbitrary modIfications of codes he has helped big
business concerns to oppress their
smaller competitors.
"The rule of the military commander
!s totally unsuited to the genius, habIts, traditions, or psychology of the
American people, and wholly lnetrectual In meeting the present national
crisis," the board concluded.
The second Darrow report covered
the retail dry goods, warehousing, lumber, cement, retail food, boot and shoe,
electrical manufacturing, bedding, petroleum, co!fee, plumbing fixture, embroidery, and lead pencil codes. Cernplaints against the warehousing, electrical manufacturing, and embroidery
codes were dismissed as without foundation. But In the other codes the
board claimed to find oppression of
small businesses or consumers.
OF STATE HULL
SECRETARY
sent to Great Britain another note
concerning the war debt, bluntly refuting the arguments of the British
government, saying It was up to the
debtor to offer propositions in such
cases, and Intimating that an arrangement fer part payment In goods might
be possible. However, when June 15,

the day for Installments, came, Uncle
Sam received only $166,538, which was
the full sum due from Finland. The
larger debtors all gave notice ot default, and so did most of the others.
Czechoslovakia suggested a readjustment to permit It to pay in goods and
service.
In Berlin the Reicbsbank declared
a six-months moratorium on Its foreign obligations, these Including the
Dawes and Young loans. No cash
transfers wlll be made by the bank
from July 1 to December 31, 1934.
ARTHUR ROBINSON of
S ENATOR
Indiana, who was renominated by
the Republicans, will be opposed at
the polls next fall by Sherman Minton, the selection of the Dei!l()cratlc
state convention. Mr. Minton, a
World war veteran, Is now public
counselor tor the public service commission of the state. His nomination
was a victory for Governor McNutt
over the faction led by R. Earl Peters,
former state chairman.
IN THE Democratic run·otr vrimary
In Alabama, Former Gov. Bibb
Graves won the nomination tor governor and goes back to the executive
otHce which he held from January,
1927, to January, 1931.
Judge James E. Horton, who presided In the second trial or Heywood
Patterson, one of the nine negro defendants In the "Scottsboro case," and
then set aside a jury verdict or death,
ran more than 2,500 behind A. A. Griffith of Cullman. George Huddleston
of Birmingham retained his seat as
congressman from the Ninth district,
but Congressman Miles C. Allgood of
the Fifth district was beaten by Maj.
Joe Starnes.
IMMEDIATE relief from distress and
recovery or business prosperity fall
far short of President Roosevelt's
plans for regeneration of the nation.
This was revealed In
his special message to
congress which told
of the plans and reco m m e n d a t 1 ons he
would submit to the
next congress.
He
asked for no present
legislation, but gave
notice of the social
experiments he proposes to begin next
winter.
President
The message disRoosevelt
cussed the three factors of housing, land and resource
planning and old age and unemplo;:r·
ment Insurance.
Expressing satisfaction over progress in relieving industry, agriculture,
and unemployment, the President, asserting his right to chart social reforms, declared, "It Is childish to
speak of recovery 11rst and reconstruction afterward."
Taking up the housing problem, he
said millions or dollars had already
been provided to Improve living conditions, and voiced the hope that with
passage of his housing program private capital would be stimulated to
widen the scope or home building.
Discussing planned control of the
land, he declared that hundreds of
thousands of families now live "where
there Is no reasonable prospect or a
living In the years to come."
Sounding the failure of the government thus far to create a "national
policy" tor the development or land
and water resources, Mr. Roosevelt Indicated his Intention or providing such
a policy, and for the transferring to
new lands of "those people who cannot make a llvlng in their present positions."
Outlining his views on providing security against unemployment and old
age. Mr. Roosevelt said he was seekIng a "sound means" which he could
recommend to provide an immediate
safeguard against these "hazards and
vicissitudes of life."

CRETE,

co-:-;GllESR completed action on the
communications bill and It was
handed to the President for his signature. '.rhis new law puts an end to the
federal radio commission and creates
a new board o! seven members known
as the federal communications commission that not only takes over the
duties or the radio board but also all
control that has been exercised by the
Interstate commerce commission over
telegraphic and telephonic communications.
As set forth In the law, Its enactment Is tor the purpose of regulatingInterstate and foreign commerce In
communication by wire and radio to
make available, so far as possible, to
all the people ot the United States a
rapid, efficient, nation-wide and worldwide wlre and radio communication
service with adequate racllltles, at
reasonable charges, tor the purpose of
national defense and for the purpoae
or securing a more effective execution
ot this policy by centralizing authority
heretofore granted by law to several
agencies ; and by granting additional
authority with respect to Interstate
and forl.'lgn commerce In wire and
radio communication.
A significant new provision which the
bill carries Into law Is the assertion
of full control over all wire and radio
communications by the government In
case of war or "public peril." Under
this section the President has authorIty to take over all wire and radio
offices and stations with just compensation to persons entitled thereto.

Hugo's Famous Tribute
to Great Predecessor
Just a century after Voltaire's
death In 1778, Victor Hugo delivered
an oration on the man and h is abid·
lng Influence, a writer In the Kansas
City Star recalls. Hugo was not only
his country's greatest poet In the
Nineteenth century, but equally
famed as the writer of such celebrated dramatic novels as "Notre Dame"
and "Les Miserables." He was also
a superb orator, nnd It Is safe to say
that no more eloquent words have
been spoken concerning the Eighteenth century sage during all the
years which elapsed since 1778 when
Voltaire laid down the burden of his
body.
The following passage from that
address, May 30, 1878. vividly sums
up what the later great Frenchman
felt concerning the earlier great man
or the same race:
"In the presence of this soclety,
frivolous and dismal, Voltaire alone,
having before his eyes those united
voices, the court, tl1e nobility and
capital; that unconscious power, that
blind mnltltude; that terrible magistracy, so severe to subjects. so docile
to the master, crushing and flattering,
lcneellng on the people before the
king: that clergy, vile melange of
hypocrisy and fanaticism: Voltaire
alone, declared war against that
coalition of all the social Iniquities,
against that enormous and terrible

world, and he accepted battle with
it. And what was h is weapon? That

which has the lightness of the wind
and the power of the thunderbolt.
A pen. With that weapon he fought:
with that weapon he conquered.
"Gentlemen, let us salute that
memory. • . . He conquered the
old code and the old dogma. He
conquered the feudal lord, the GothIc judge. . . . He raised the
populace to the dignity or people.
He taught, paclflcated, clvlllzed. He was Indefatigable and
Immovable. He conquered violence
by a smile, despotism by sarcasm,
lnfalllbllity by irony, obstlnancy by
perseverance, Ignorance by truth. I
have used the word, smile. It Is Voltaire. Whatever may be his just
wrath, Is passes, and the Irritated
Voltaire always gives way to the
Voltaire calmed. Then In that profound eye the smile appears. That
smile, I repeat, is Voltaire. Luminous, that smile was fruitful also.
The new soceity, the society for
equality and concession, and that
beginning of fraternity which calls
Itself tolerance, reciprocal good will,
the just accord of men and rights,
reason recognized as the supreme
law, the annihllatlon or prejudices
and fixed opinions, the serenity of
souls, the spirit of Indulgence and
ot reason, harmony, peacer-behold,
all has come from that great smile!"

CHAPTER II
-2Sonya Geta a New Name.

By early dawn Sonya was up and
dressed, her saddlebags replenished
wltb such remedies as she might need
ror her battle wttb Old Man Death tn
the hogan beyond Chee wash. Darkness, full fed and watered, waited patiently tn the patio. She stood In the
dlm kitchen wlth a cup of cotree Ln
one hand, a hastily made sandwich
ln the other, and talked lowly to Llla.
"It's going to be a hard day, old
dear," she said, "and I mny not get
back tonight. If I don't, don't worry.
I'll be wlth Two Fingers and the
babies and poor Llttle Moon. I! she
1eems to be going, I'll not leave her."
"No," said Lila, "no, of' c11urse not.
I know. What shall I tell Rod when
he gets up?"
"Hf knows I'm golog-I told hlm
hnlt Alght-but not that I might stay
over. Tell him again how lt Is with
L!ttle Moon-and mention the babies."
"They're just dirty little Navajos to
hlm."
"'l'hey're tragic babies just the
same," said Sonya sharply, "and he
will have to see lt. Well, so long.
I'm otr."
She set down her empty cup, pulled
on her gloves, and went softly out.
She hugged Darkness' nose, which
nudged her breast after a little rl~
tL&gt;ot '1:1:81!1 common 1 oetw=a U&gt;"m. ~':.1m"
went up bls tall side and Into her old
saddle with the easy grace of a worktog cow hand.
The big horse, hard as Iron and perfect In training, leaned to the almost
lmperceptlble motion of hand and
rein on his neck, and trotted out ot
tb.e patio. Once on the sandy stretch
or level country he rolled away In a
long and tireless lope, a harbinger of
hope, a bringer of comfort to the
lowly.
Far to the south and west Sonya
could see Lone Mesa. She loved the
great tableland. Times without number she had climbed Its steep trall on
Darkness, to ride Its three-by-five-mile
top, to sit In the sun beside Its ancient
pueblo walls with their rotting ladders, to stand on Its sharp·cut rlm aod
scan the lone world below. Until yesterday nothing had ever disturbed her,
nothing disputed her right or wayuntil yesterday.
At the thought her face flushed red
with anger at the man who had ridden
her down to the mesa's edge and
pulled her from her saddle, his handsome face aflame with rapine. She
l'elt the blood burn along her cheeks.
It was resentment she felt, the fierce
rage of indlgoatlon that anyone or
anything should Interfere with her
freedom and her right to it. Her dark
eyes were hot with It, her soft mouth
set ln a prim Hoe. But the look she
gave the mesa as she rode along beneath it was neither fearful nor resigned. It was a look of promise, as
lt some stubborn thing wlthlo her
would take her to Its lonely heights
more often than usual now.
The sun came up as she and Darkness entered the broad mouth ol Chee
wash with lts red sandstone walls,
and a little later they came In sight ot
tlle hogan or Two Fingers. A round,
low habitation of a single room, laid
up of' t!at stones one above another,
like flakes ot prehistoric dough, It
faced the east, as all hogans must.
From Its central rise a thin thread of
smoke ucended. Something caught
at Sonya's heart-It was so stark and
poor a home, Its people so helpless.
':two Fingers met her beside the water
hole. He was a man of around thirty,
weathered like dark leather, his patient face as native to the land as
Lone Mesa ttsel!, and there was about
him a simple dlgn!ty,aa there was about
the poorest of these Indians. He wore
a blue fiannel shirt, corduroy pants
b.eld by a sliver-studded belt, and his
hair was long and bound in two neat
doubled flares on the back or his head.
Thou~b. he spoke fair English aod bad
a sizable band of' sheep, this manner
of' wearing hls hair stamped hlm as a
"wlld buck,'' one of those who had
not yet become entirely civlllzed. For
one thing, Two Fingers did not drink,
and f'or another, he still worshiped hls
ancient gods. Sonya liked him.
Now she said, "Hello, Two Fingers.
How Is she this morning?"
"Bad," be said briefly and reaclled
tor Darkness' rein.

Sonya swong Jowo and took otr her
saddleiJags.
A.s she entered the hogan her lips
set themselves In a shnrp, unconscious
line. Bad was right, she thought.
There was the smell of death here.
She would need to gird her loins today ln all truth.
At first the dusky shadows hid the
Interior from her sight. Then, as her
eyes adjusted themselves, she set
down her bags and knelt beside the
first heap of skins and blankets which
lay on the sandy floor.
There were three of' these flat beds.
In the farther one the two children
still slept heavily. In this one Little
Moon lay, panting with rever, her big
black eyes beautiful In the dim light.
"Courage, little mother,'' Sonya said
ln Navajo, "I am with you."
The Indian woman amlled, touched
her hand wlth timid fingers.
She took the draught which the
other gave her presently, and watched
her as she set about cooking some oat•
meal over tbe coals ot the tlny fire.
Thla 1t was which had made Sonya
the Idol. o:C these poor and slient people, thla aervlce of heart and hand
which had saved them, literally, from
death In many cases. She f'ought for
what sanitation she could produce
among them, taught them the Importance or proper feeding ln :Cevers, the
superiority of mustard plasters over
singsongs In pneumonia, and labored
generally like a mother wlth her children.
Now she bathed the hot brown body
under the blankets, gave Little Moon
the thinned cereal as a drink, waked
and washed the children, fed them the
rest of the oatmeal, ate two pieces of
f'rled mutton and some crnckers with
Two Fingers, and stood for a while
outside the hogan in the morning
aunllght.
She felt wonderful herself, strong
and high within, as lt she set her
body against a wall and could not be
backed down. This was the gauge of
battle ln her, that she knew, the deep
determination to win In what she set
herself to do, the passionate sympath.J and pity which were like a steel

her at the rlsrng .Qgnres in the Uny
tube. The crisis was coming. It
would be here by mldafteroooo. Her
mouth set a little harder, her blnck
eyes were narrow between their dusky
lashes. She squatted pntlently by the
heap of skins and blankets, her fin·
gers on Little Moon's hot wrist.
So the hours passed-nod the crisis
came, a tense, panting hour, with the
silver thread In the llttle tube running
up a ghastly record, and the patient
dark head rolling at last 1n uoeodul'able sutrerlng.
Sonya held the moving hands, bathed
the drawn face.
"Hold tight-hold-tight-steadysteady,'' she kept saying In Navajo,
"hold tight, llttle mother."
· And after a timeless space when she
neither moved nor took her eyes from
the other'• features, there came a
creeping stillness, a hush, a cessation
ot movement. The weary head dropped
sidewise, the thin hands became quiet.
Sonya loosed them and reached for
her stethoscope, her hypodermic filled
and ready with lts needle ln a cup of
1terlle water. This was the crux, and
she must not fall-for Two Flngera
and the babies out ln Chee wash somewhere.
She did not faiL
With the sun on the western rim
of the austere desert the Indian came
up the wash with one chUd asleep on
hls shoulder, the other on his back.
Far off he saw Sonya standing at
the hogan's door and stopped a long
moment to study with hls eagle eyes
her pose, her manner.
She stood tall and straight, and one
hand was laid high up on the bleached
pole of the doorway, the other rested
on her hlp. Her head was up, too,
and at the sight Two Fingers swun~
out ln a swift dog-trot.
"It ts well, Blue South Woman," he
Bald with conviction as he came to
her; "you have saved her."
''It 11 well," said Sonya proudly and
amlled lnto his dark face.
Without another word he went Into
the hogan and looked down at Little
Moon, sleeping heavily wtth a sweat
upon her skin.
So the night came down, blue With
Its dark sky, silver with Its stars, and
Sonya lay down on the second pile o:C
skins aod went to sleep with her hand
oo Little Moon's.
Two Fingers sat all night In the
hogan's door, and none might know
what was ln his mind of gratitude and
hope and silent joy.
Sonya was up by dawn, and Little
Moon was awake, weak unto death
but peaceful. Sonya red her and made
a pot of the precious gruel and Instructed the man ln Its giving, Its protection

"You'd better go to the trading post,

blade In her. It it were possible to
save the patient brown woman ln
there with what weapons she had at
her command, with unrelenting vlgllance, with Instant combat of every
adverse change, then she would do it
or know the reason for her failure.
She looked up at the high blue sky
with Its salllng, full white clouds, her
mind an attitude of prayer, and turning, ll!ted the blanket which was the
door, and went ln.
Two Fingers gathered the babies
and made ready to depart, according
to her request made a moment back.
She wanted the day alone, clear vistoned for the crisis, nothing within
sight to distract her. The mao looked
down at the woman on the low bed,
holding one child, leading the other,
and the woman looked up.
They said nothing.
It might be their last look on earth,
their eternal parting, for all they
knew, yet there was no outcry, no slgo
of sorrow, nothing but that deep look.
P erha ps nothing more was needed.
Then Two Fingers went away, and
the women were alone ln the hogan.
"We meet the enemy," said Sonya,
still In Navaj &lt;&gt;-there was a comfort
In lt, a strength, lt seemed-"but we
meet him together. I hold your hand.
Hold tight to mloe. We must both
fight, very hard. The medicine wlll
fight, too. It ts a good fighter. But
not for a moment must we fall or slnl:
or stop fighting. You understand 1"
The other nodded.
"It Is good," said Sonya.
And the day of battle began.
Somewhere out ln the sand and
rocks of' Chee wash Two Flngera
would be praying to hls ancient gods,
sitting quietly, perhaps, watching the
babies playing wlt!l sticks, building
corrals for their pebble horses. He
had some mutton jerky In the pouch
at hls belt. He would feed them with
It at noon.
It was the way of ll!e ln the solitudes, the way or death, all chance,
all waiting.
Sonya In the hogan worked tirelessly. The cold of the night had given
place to the heat of day, and sweat
dripped from her temples. Regularly
she ted the woman the thin warm
gruel. Regularly, monotonously, she
bathed her from head to root. Regularly she slipped her thermometer Into

WE KNOW THEM, TOO

In order for the poultrYman to realIze highest prices for his brollers he
must have them ready for market at
earliest opportunity, writes a poultryman lo the Missouri Farmer. Whether or not he sells them at the weight
of' two pounds or larger depends upon
market conditions. In general with
Leghorns he should dispose of' the
broilers at the age of twelve weeks
or when they weigh f'rom 2 to 2.5
pounds. With the general purpose
breeds as long as the market prices
remain steady he can well afford to
keep them until they are larger as they
wlll continue to make economical gains
and to Improve In quality.
To secure satisfactory growth the
brollers should be ted the chick starter mash throughout the entire growing
season. After the chicks are about ten
weeks old some grain may also be fed.
It will probably be advisable to keep
them In fairly close confinement rather
than to allow them tree range. Ac·
cess to relatively small yards, If the
yards provide green feed. Is desirable.
Brooder houses provided with sun
porches make satisfactory quarters for
feeding birds Intended for the market.
Exposure of the chickens to sunshine,
feeding green feed, and the use or yellow corn will tend to produce broilers
with bright yellow legs such as the
market desires. There will be a smaller proportion of poorly feathered barebacked chicks lt the chicks are provided roomy quarters and If the brooder house ls kept as cool as possible

Innocently enough in the brooder house,

bright object that turns out to be
some little fellow's toenail. Continued plcklng may cause the sklo to be
broken just above the toenail, and
bleeding results. After this, the rest

Seek Some Method
to Use Lightning
Much Electric Energy Ia Lost
Each Year.
Washington.-One billion kilowatts
of electrical energy Is poured down on
the earth every year by thunderbolts,
the American Meteorological society
was told here recently at its annual
meeting.
The tremendous potentialities for
power from the clouds, at present out
or the reach of mao, were described
by Dr. B. F. J. Schonlaod, director
of research for the lost! tute ot Electrical Engineers, at Johannesburg,
South Africa.
The studies of the various phases of
lightning and thunderbolts have been
undertaken, Doctor Schonland said,
with the hope that knowledge of the
mechanism and nature of th1mderbolts
may enable man to utilize at least
part of the tremendous electrical en~rgy being constantly built up In the
clouds and discharged to the earth.
Much New Information,
The latest research to make llghtn!ng divulge Its secrets has already
yielded much new information 1111 to
the speed of lightning, Its manner o!
building up voltages, and the amounts
of these voltages, Doctor Schonland
8111d.
Measurements of the electric potential In the cloud show that each centimeter of cloud has a voltage or 10,000,
or more than 1,500,000,000 volts per
linear mlle. Generally, the voltage Is
dissipated before it reaches this high

"Miaa Hawkah.aw''

potential, though some thunderbolts
have been estimated to reach 1,000,000,000 volts.
By far the largest part of the electrical energy in the cloud, fully ninetenths of It, Is discharged Inside the
cloud before It reaches the earth, and
only one-tenth Is discharged In the
bolts that reach the ground, the research shows.
The electrical potential of 25,400
volts to the Inch, It was determined, Is
bullt up by the splitting of drops or
water In the cloud.
The top or the cloud, the experiments show, Is positively charged,
whlle tbe base of the cloud Is negative.
The large drops have a positive charge
and the small have a negative one. By
gravitation the large drops fall down
from the top of the cloud to a lower
level, where the small negative drops
are discharged.
"Leading" Flash.
The downward movement of the
large droplets carrying positive electricity, Doctor Schonlnnd stated, accounts for nine-tenths or the discharge,
and this takes place within the cloud.
The negative charge from the base of
the cloud to the earth accounts for
the remaining one-tenth of the charge.
The latest findings, Doctor Schonland added, dispute the theory promulgated several years ago by Prof. G. C.
Simpson of London, that the base of
the cloud Is positively charged, while
Its top Is negative. Experiments, he
said, show the opposite to be the case.
By the device of a special camera
Doctor Schonland, In collaboration
with H. Collens of South Africa, it
bas been possible to make photographs
of lightning which furnish data for
measuring Its speed.

show, Is always preceded hy

THE DIGNITY

In the month of June thousands of

picture. There is
a n o t h e r picture,
however, which Is
not so Inspiring. In
our large cities today there are thousands of engineers, lawyers, dentists,
physicians and other trained rueo not
only Idle but suffering acute poverty,
without much hope for the restoration
or prosperity In their chosen professions for some tlme to come. Many of
these persons are high-class men and
bold degrees from universities of the
hl~hest rank.
No person, however, can conscientiously undervalue the importance of
the professions. Not only do they require from five to seven years In In-

The malo flash travels in the opposite direction from the "leader," startIng upward from the earth, from the
spot struck by the "leader," and following exactly the same path traversed
by the "lender," back to the cloud.
The length of the "leader" was found
to vary from 1.6 to 4.7 mlles. The
longest time occupied by a "leader"
stroke was measured at 1,670 m!lllonths of a second for the 4.7 mile
stroke. The quickest flash took sixtynine millionths of a second to travel
3.5 mlles.

Veronica Flynn of New York Is

tense preparation but also work of the
hardest kind in carrying them on.
Some person has remarked that the
life of a doctor is a slavish life if you
have something to do and equally exasperating If you have nothing to do.
This statement might be true of any
of the other professions. They all require work of the hardest kind If success is to be the reward of earnest
and self-sacrificing effort.
But there Is another kind or work
which is not generally regarded as of
the professional type; and upon which
some educators not only look with disfavor but as something to be avoided.
We read learned articles on topics
such as, "The value of leisure," "Passing of the day of toil," "Live by your
wits," "Rise above toil," etc. In other
words there seems to be an effort to
direct the mind of youth away from
manual work as contrasted with the
professional career. It Is the opinion
of many thoughtful persons that the
professions are already overcrowded
and that there must be a larger return
of youth to the trades and the soil.
All economic stabillty originated from
the soil and perhaps It is to the soil
that the majority most return 'ere we
have a stabilized permanent prosperity.

New York.-Phloxtne, a dye closely
related to os-dinary mercurochrome,
which when Irradiated with actual, or
artltlclal, sunllght, can destroy cancer
cells and leave certain types of normal
cells nnlJarmed, recently has been announced by John F. :\Ienke, an embryologist, ot Carnegie Institution. To
date, however, the principle hu been
applled only to cultures ot cancerous
cells ou tslde the body.
When a small amount of the unlrradlated dye was added to the blood
which formed tood for the cella 111 eultore, the cancer cells were una1fected
untll after having been subjected to
sunlight, or strong light. Menke reports that when llvin&amp; cancer cells In
the culture media which contained the
dye were subjected to light for ftve
minutes they died. Coincidentally, the
healthy normal cells forming the struc·
ture of the cancer tissue were unharmed nod remained allve.
"This dye absorbs the llght and
becomes actl,•atecl,'' Menke explained.
"In thts activated condltlon the dye
produces chemical changes in the protoplasm of the cancer cells, whi~h
cause the cells to die." Why the Irradiated dye Is fatal to cancer cells
and non-Injurious to certain ot the
normal CPll~ is not known.

Scientist Finds New
Dye Hits Cancer Cells

Wood-Burning Lorry Is
Developed by Japanese
Tokyo, Japan.-Japan's wood-burning motor trnclc recently develovcd hy
the army probably wlll be confined
lfu·gely to army use hecause of the inahility to supply sufficient fueling sta·
tlons to make a more general use
available.
The new truck with a small wood
burner at one side and a boiler beneath was proved practical so far as
going ability was concerned. A few
or the tt·ucl{S were tried out hetween
Tokyo and Nagoya.
It was found necessary, however, to
have an extra motor conveyance accompany the truck on its trial run
to supply the fuel, which must be in
small sizes.
Japan spends some 150,000,000 yeo
for motor fuel annually and the
army's expenditures are large.
wood burner was developed to
down the oct·mal exo~J~;rJ~Irel~!td
to provide a new and economical war
machine.

DR. WALTER BIERRING

JOHNSON DENOUNCED
IN DARROW REPORT

Greater New Deal Outlined
to Congress.

Blunt Note Suggests Debt
Payment in Goods.

Removal of Administrator
Is Suggested.

Washlngton.-The pattern of a
~ew Deal-a soctal order
promising security tor all through Insurance a~alnst unemployment and old
age and planned m;e of natural resources-wall presented to congress by
President Roosevelt in a special message.
Regarded by the White House as
one of the most Important documents
ever transmitted to Capitol Hill by
this administration. the message encompassed the whole national economIc picture and charted for the next
congress the new reforms Mr. Roosevelt seeks.
The President showed his purpose
of remaking American existence; of
transferring whole populations; of
abandoning millions of acres of farm
lands and of sending the people of
these areas by the hundred thousands
on to newly reclaimed lands.
In the vision he held before congress
Mr. Roosevelt saw the federal government ordering these lives In a new
planned existence, and ordering also
a new controlled use of all the lauds
and resources of the nation.
He spoke of adequately housing the
people, and of providing under federal
government supervision huge funds
for protecting them in times of unemployment and In old age.
The message was deemed unique
first In that It sought no specific legislation, but merely acquainted the congress with his purposes.
Security for the Individual, the
family, the home, was the tenrJr or
communication through which the
Presirlent skillfully wove the pattern
of his Greater New Deal. He suggested guarantees for the aged and
jobless after reviewlnl{ legislation
since 1933, calling attention to necessity for additional emergency measures at this session, and, finally,
bluntly warning that the lld on the
"pork barrel" had been nalled down
to stay.
"Next winter we may well under·
take the great task of furthering the
security of the citizen and his family
through social Insurance.'' the President said.

Washlngton.-the British goYern·
ment was bluntly toltl hy the United
States to Rtop beating about the bush
on the wnr debt question and offer
some positive suggestion for a compromise settlement.
Secretary of State Hull suggested
Britain advance a proposal to pay all
or part of her $4.000,000,000 debt in
goods or services inasmuch ns she
claims she lacks the cold cash. He
said the United States would be glad·
to entertain any such proposal.
The invitation was forwarded to the
British ambassador here, Sir Ronald
Lindsay, in a note from Hull remarkable for Its plain language and terse-

broadly that Pre;:lclent
Roosevelt's pluns would forge ahead
more rapidly If the genernl were
thrown o,·erboard, the Darrow board,
In Its seconcl rt&gt;port to the Chief ),;xPcutlve, denounced ,Johnson's autocratic
actions and again Insisted that mnny
codes are smothering small Industries and gouging consumers.
Beshle suggesting the removal or
Johnson, the Darrow hoard demanded
outright that two other olllclals or
the NRA be fired tor misconduct. On&amp;
Is an assistant deputy administrator
and the other Is an employee of. the
lumber code authority, but the report
suppressed both their names.
Epithet after epithet was heaped upon Johnson l:ty Darrow and his colleagues for the way ln which the NRA
ltas arbitrarily decreed life and deatb
for Industries. Besides charging that
Johnson's high-handed tactics smack

BAER WHIPS PRIMO
FOR WORLD TITLE
Camera Loses in a Technical
Knockout.
New York.-Max Baer, the clown
turned demon, is the new heavywei~ht
champion of the world. He won the
title at the Madison Square Garden
bowl on Lon~ Island on a technical
knockout In 2 minutes and 16 seconds
of the eleventh round of his scheduled
15 round encounter with Primo Carnera.
Referee Arthur Donovan, to whom
Baer had ohjected strenuously before
the fight, stopped the gory battle after
he had seen the erstwhile champion
hit the canvas 13 times, 12 of these
times from the force of the Californian
terror whom 'William Brown, New
York boxing commissioner. proclaimed
a poorly conditioned bum a short
week before the battle The time that
Carnera went to the floor without be·
In~ lcnoclced there came ln the 8th
round, when he went down In a clumsy
lun~e at the new champion.
Three times the American knocked
down the champion In the first round.
And three more times In the second
round and once in the third. Then
Max eased orr on the bouncing bus!·
ness until the tenth, though the action never slowed.
'l'here were many who thought the
fiaht had ended in th~ lOth when the
stunned Primo, on his feet arter -c, o
wallows In the resin stag;!ered to the
ropes In apparent surrender. But as
Referee Donovan went to his side and
asked him If he Intended to quit, the
bell rang. So the defending champion
was preserved for further mauling.
Thrice more in the 11th the 203 pound
man from Italy went down. first from
a right to the bead and then from a
two armed flaillng for which he
showed no defense.
The behemoth again stumbled in retreat to his own corner, with Refet·ee
Donovan In pursuit and Raer tensing
for the killing, but at the same time
Insisting that his quarry was out on
his feet. Primo's back wns to his attacker as Donovan grabbed his arm
and pulled him around. According to
Referee Donovan's btatPment later
Carnera told bim he wanted the
slaughter stopped, but when the official proclaimed Max the winner Primo
seemed surprised and chagrined.

Hull's suggestion that the American
government is open to proposals by
the debtors to mllke payments in goods
or services, coming with President
Roosevelt's signature on the new
tarltr act, was held especially sign!·
ficant. It marked the first official suggestion by this government that it
would consider payments In kind.
The suggestion to the British gov·
ernment was believed applicable to ull
the debtor governments, Including
Soviet Russia, and might open the way
for acceptance of millions of dollars
worth of commodities which the United States normally lmpot·ts each year.
The two commodities which It was
believed that Britain might most profitably offer ln payment of her debts are
rubber and tin. The United States
each year Imports approximately $87,000,000 worth of tin and hu~e amounts
of rubber. The major supplies of both
of these commodities are imported
from the British Straits Settlements.
Hull cntcgorically rejected the reasoning put forward by Britain in her
note of .rune 4 announcing suspension
of all further debt payments. He in·
formed the British government that it
was clearly Britain's responsibility to
initiate discussions looking to a revision of the debt agreements.
This, Hull said, Britain had failed
to do with the exception of the totally
un~atisfactory otter made last autumn
b:v Sir Leith Ross, special agents of
tl;e British treasury, who held a series
of conferences with President Roosevelt.

Tugwell Confirmed by Senate Despite Bitter AttacksDarrow Board Assails Johnson-President Roosevelt's
Plans for Social Regeneration.

REXFORD GUY TUGWELL'S aPpearance before the senate agriculture committee to be quizzed as to
.hla 11tnesa tor the posltlon or undersecretary ot agriculture was rather tarclcal, even though It
brought on heated encounters among the
members of the committee. The senators
aired their own views
freely, but learned almost nothing concernIng those of Mr. Tugwell. He dld tell them
he believed the CcnR. 0 · Tugwell stltutlon was flexible
enough to take care or any necessary
~nomic changes; that he was opI)OSed to the adoption of Soviet planning by America, and that he thought
tlls experience on his father's farm
..and his research qualified him for the
position to which the President bad
.appointed him. Finally the committee
reported the nomination favorably, the
&lt;&gt;nly two opposing votes being those
&lt;&gt;! "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carotlna and Henry D. Hatfield or west
Virginia.
The action ot the committee assured TUgwell's confirmation by the
11enate, but the debate on the floor
was unexpectedly long and the attacks
.on Tugwell were outspoken. Senator
.Schall or Minnesota, for instance, said:
"Agriculture demands and already
has experiment stations deallng In
actual crops, llve stock, and markets.
It wants no 'bold experiments In colh&gt;cth•lsm' by a self-styled philosopher
who functions like a three card monte
~harp who jumps upon a box with
three shells and a pea and \vho entertains the public with his cry, 'Now
you see It and now you don't. Who Is
the next gent?'
"Tugwell's general denial, and his
spe&lt;'lfic denials, In the light of his associates In the field of political writIng, are absolutely worthless. They
are an Insult to an Intelligent jury.
He Insults the United States senate
tn order to gain a high office from
which he can preach 'collectivism' as
a suhst tute tor American Institutions
and tht~ (;onstltution."
"t l 7TITI.E the delegates of the steel
VV wor{(ms' unions were gathering
!n PltL'ib 1rgh to vote on the threat4'-ned strikt&gt;, President Roosevelt and
ltls advisers brought forward a plan
tor an emergency law designed to
.a vert the wallwut. It was admittedly
a temporary expedient to give the
President an effective agency for the
eonslderatlon or Industrial disputes
arising during the life or the NRA.
Under the new bill's terms, boards
selected by the President would be
empowered to order and conduct an
election, by a secret ballot, to determine "by what person or persons or
~rganlzatlons" employees may desire
to be represented In negotiations under the collective bargaining features
&lt;&gt;t the national recovery act.
The proposed boards also would
llave the authority to order production of pertinent documents and witnesses to give testimony under oath,
and their orders would be enforceable
by any United States court of competent jurisdiction, similar to !Ike privileges enjoyed by the federal trade
eommlsslon. Vested with authority to
vrescrlbe their own rules and regulations, the boards would be armed with
·a penalty clause In the new law, setting $1,000 fine or a year Imprisonment, or both, for violation of their
decrees.

ITS second report to the Pt·eslI Ndent
the national recovery review
board, headed by Clarence Darrow,
loosed another blast at Administrator
.Johnson and in effect recommended
his removal as head of the NRA. The
board said Johnson had given the re.C.'overy program an on-American and
dictatorial tinge that handicapped it
1n the war on depression; that he has
•trbltrarily decreed life and death for
1ndustries, and that by arbitrary modIfications of codes he has helped big
business concerns to oppress their
smaller competitors.
"The rule of the military commander
!s totally unsuited to the genius, habIts, traditions, or psychology of the
American people, and wholly lnetrectual In meeting the present national
crisis," the board concluded.
The second Darrow report covered
the retail dry goods, warehousing, lumber, cement, retail food, boot and shoe,
electrical manufacturing, bedding, petroleum, co!fee, plumbing fixture, embroidery, and lead pencil codes. Cernplaints against the warehousing, electrical manufacturing, and embroidery
codes were dismissed as without foundation. But In the other codes the
board claimed to find oppression of
small businesses or consumers.
OF STATE HULL
SECRETARY
sent to Great Britain another note
concerning the war debt, bluntly refuting the arguments of the British
government, saying It was up to the
debtor to offer propositions in such
cases, and Intimating that an arrangement fer part payment In goods might
be possible. However, when June 15,

the day for Installments, came, Uncle
Sam received only $166,538, which was
the full sum due from Finland. The
larger debtors all gave notice ot default, and so did most of the others.
Czechoslovakia suggested a readjustment to permit It to pay in goods and
service.
In Berlin the Reicbsbank declared
a six-months moratorium on Its foreign obligations, these Including the
Dawes and Young loans. No cash
transfers wlll be made by the bank
from July 1 to December 31, 1934.

the polls next fall by Sherman Minton, the selection of the Dei!l()cratlc

was a victory for Governor McNutt

former state chairman.

In Alabama, Former Gov. Bibb
Graves won the nomination tor governor and goes back to the executive
otHce which he held from January,

Judge James E. Horton, who presided In the second trial or Heywood
Patterson, one of the nine negro defendants In the "Scottsboro case," and
then set aside a jury verdict or death,

of Birmingham retained his seat as

but Congressman Miles C. Allgood of
the Fifth district was beaten by Maj.
Joe Starnes.
IMMEDIATE relief from distress and
recovery or business prosperity fall
far short of President Roosevelt's
plans for regeneration of the nation.
This was revealed In
his special message to
congress which told
of the plans and reco m m e n d a t 1 ons he
would submit to the
next congress.
He
asked for no present
legislation, but gave
notice of the social
experiments he proposes to begin next

President
The message disRoosevelt
cussed the three factors of housing, land and resource
planning and old age and unemplo;:r·
ment Insurance.
Expressing satisfaction over progress in relieving industry, agriculture,
and unemployment, the President, asserting his right to chart social reforms, declared, "It Is childish to
speak of recovery 11rst and reconstruction afterward."
Taking up the housing problem, he
said millions or dollars had already
been provided to Improve living conditions, and voiced the hope that with
passage of his housing program private capital would be stimulated to
widen the scope or home building.
Discussing planned control of the
land, he declared that hundreds of
thousands of families now live "where
there Is no reasonable prospect or a
living In the years to come."
Sounding the failure of the government thus far to create a "national
policy" tor the development or land
and water resources, Mr. Roosevelt Indicated his Intention or providing such
a policy, and for the transferring to
new lands of "those people who cannot make a llvlng in their present positions."
Outlining his views on providing security against unemployment and old
age. Mr. Roosevelt said he was seekIng a "sound means" which he could
recommend to provide an immediate
safeguard against these "hazards and
vicissitudes of life."

CRETE,

co-:-;GllESR completed action on the
communications bill and It was
handed to the President for his signature. '.rhis new law puts an end to the
federal radio commission and creates
a new board o! seven members known
as the federal communications commission that not only takes over the
duties or the radio board but also all
control that has been exercised by the
Interstate commerce commission over
telegraphic and telephonic communications.
As set forth In the law, Its enactment Is tor the purpose of regulatingInterstate and foreign commerce In
communication by wire and radio to
make available, so far as possible, to
all the people ot the United States a
rapid, efficient, nation-wide and worldwide wlre and radio communication
service with adequate racllltles, at

national defense and for the purpoae
or securing a more effective execution
ot this policy by centralizing authority
heretofore granted by law to several
agencies ; and by granting additional
authority with respect to Interstate
and forl.'lgn commerce In wire and
radio communication.
A significant new provision which the
bill carries Into law Is the assertion
of full control over all wire and radio
communications by the government In
case of war or "public peril." Under
this section the President has authorIty to take over all wire and radio
offices and stations with just compensation to persons entitled thereto.

Hugo's Famous Tribute
to Great Predecessor
Just a century after Voltaire's
death In 1778, Victor Hugo delivered
an oration on the man and h is abid·
lng Influence, a writer In the Kansas
City Star recalls. Hugo was not only
his country's greatest poet In the
Nineteenth century, but equally
famed as the writer of such celebrated dramatic novels as "Notre Dame"
and "Les Miserables." He was also
a superb orator, nnd It Is safe to say
that no more eloquent words have
been spoken concerning the Eighteenth century sage during all the
years which elapsed since 1778 when
Voltaire laid down the burden of his
body.
The following passage from that
address, May 30, 1878. vividly sums
up what the later great Frenchman
felt concerning the earlier great man
or the same race:
"In the presence of this soclety,
frivolous and dismal, Voltaire alone,
having before his eyes those united
voices, the court, tl1e nobility and
capital; that unconscious power, that
blind mnltltude; that terrible magistracy, so severe to subjects. so docile
to the master, crushing and flattering,
lcneellng on the people before the
king: that clergy, vile melange of
hypocrisy and fanaticism: Voltaire
alone, declared war against that
coalition of all the social Iniquities,
against that enormous and terrible

world, and he accepted battle with
it. And what was h is weapon? That

which has the lightness of the wind
and the power of the thunderbolt.
A pen. With that weapon he fought:
with that weapon he conquered.
"Gentlemen, let us salute that
memory. • . . He conquered the
old code and the old dogma. He
conquered the feudal lord, the GothIc judge. . . . He raised the
populace to the dignity or people.
He taught, paclflcated, clvlllzed. He was Indefatigable and
Immovable. He conquered violence
by a smile, despotism by sarcasm,
lnfalllbllity by irony, obstlnancy by
perseverance, Ignorance by truth. I
have used the word, smile. It Is Voltaire. Whatever may be his just
wrath, Is passes, and the Irritated
Voltaire always gives way to the
Voltaire calmed. Then In that profound eye the smile appears. That
smile, I repeat, is Voltaire. Luminous, that smile was fruitful also.
The new soceity, the society for
equality and concession, and that
beginning of fraternity which calls
Itself tolerance, reciprocal good will,
the just accord of men and rights,
reason recognized as the supreme
law, the annihllatlon or prejudices
and fixed opinions, the serenity of
souls, the spirit of Indulgence and
ot reason, harmony, peacer-behold,
all has come from that great smile!"

abolition of the historic two-thirds rule.

In the past three ~·ears
and present a united front In the comlog campaign characteriZed the convention.
Tile abolition of the two-thirds rule
for the nomination of candidates was
one of the !il~niflcant achievements.
This rule, which had been In use for
more than 100 years, was superseded
by the adoption of the rules committee's
report recorumen&lt;ling that at future
conventions only a bare majority be
required for nomination. While some
southern and the ea~tern and western
states OP!JOSe&lt;l aurogatlon, they were
reconciled to It 1: the corumlt~ee's
recommen&lt;lation that changes be mnde
in the apportionment of dclegatc&gt;s.
The platform pledged continuance of
soil conservation, benetlt payments to
farmers, a sound currency, a balanced
budget and a constltutlona l amendment if necessary, to achieve th~c&gt;
party's broad social program.
lt
praised the accomplishments of the
New Deal In a preamule, &lt;leclarln~ that
1t planned to continue them In the
Interest of the nation. The platform's
keynote was that the Roosevelt aumlnJstratlon has put and will keep the
nation "on the road the recovery and
prosperity."
Regarding the Constitution, the platform declared that while the Republican platform proposes to meet national problems by action of the separate states, the Democratic party recognizes that minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor, monopolistic
and unfair business practices, dust
storms, drouth and floods could not be
bandied by states. It stated:
"If these problems cannot be effectively solved by legislation wlthJo the Constitution, we shall seek
such clarifying amendments as wlll
nssume to the legislatures of the several states and to the congress of the
United States each within its proper
jurisdiction, the power to enact those
laws which the state and federal legislatures within their respecth' e
spheres shall find necessary, In order adequately to regulate commerce,
protect public health and safety and
safeguard economic security. Thus
we propose to maintain the letter and
spirit of the Constitution."
In addition to soil conservation and
benefit payments, the farm plank
pledged the Democrats to fioaocin~
share-croppers and tenants in buying
lands; favored commodity loans on
farm surpluses and retirement of ten
million acres of submarginal land
from production and rural rebabilltation.
Reiterating the "good neighbor"
policy, the foreign relations plallk
reaffirmed the party's neutrality progi·am pledged to keep the nation out
of foreign entanglements. It reasserted the reciprocal tariff policy, but
demanded "adequate" protection to
farmers and manufacturers against
unfair foreign competition,
Denouncing monopolies and concentration of economic power, the platform declared that the administration
would "vigorously and fearlessly enforce the criminal an&lt;l civil provisions
of the existing anti-trust laws."
Other planks pledge(): Expansion
of the social security program; continuance of rurnl electrification; protection of the rights of labor to !oargain collectiYely; extension of feJeral
housing projects; just treatment of
war veterans and their dependents;
extension of the merit system through
classified civil service; freedom of
JSpeech, press, radio, religion and assembly; projection of public works
projects to aid unemployment; opposition to Communism and "the menace
of concealed Fascism.

the

specter of drouth stalked in
Northwest. Damage to crops
on heat-parched farms in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana caused
great concern and recalled the di~as­
trous drouth conditions of two years
ago.
Railroads serving the drouth areas
agreed to place emergency freight rates
1nto effect on live stock shipments to
other grazing areas. Wheat and corn
crops have suffered severe damage, reports indicate.
In Washington, a relief program ~or
the drouth-stricken northwest states
was mapped out by Relief Adminis·
trator Harry L. Hopkins. Work relief
projects designed to give work at once
to 5,000 farmers in the Dakotas and
parts of Wyoming and Montana, whose
crop lands have been laid waste for the
seventh consecutive year, were planned.

62 per cent In 1!134; and Kansas 37 per
cent in 1036 and 65 per cent In 1034.
Added to the seriousness of the
drouth situation was a plague of grasshoppers that swept over eastern Nebraska, threatening to destroy hundreds of square miles of crops. The
swarm was reported to be 100 miles
long. In l'pots the insects were said to
be so numerous that they hid the sun
as they pass!:'d over valuable farm
lands.
In 1\!ootreaux, SwitzM EETING
erland, an international conference sought settlement of military and
naval problems In the 1\Iedlterranean.
'l'be conference had been called by the
powers as a result of Turkey's request
to fortify the Dardanelles, which were
demilitarized under the Lausanne
treaty of 1023.
The possible threat of Russia's growIng naval strength caused an alignment of the British and .Japanese.
Japan announced it was willing to accept any limitation on .Japnn&lt;&gt;!'e \Yarsbips authorized to enter the Blaclt
sea, providing similar restrictions were
placed on Russian warships leaving It.
Russia demun&lt;led free westward passage of warships and submarines out
of the Black sea through the Dardanelles, adding she was unable to see
why other powers not bordl'ring on this
body of water dE'sired unlimited pas!';age to it. Because of her mutual assistance pact with the Soviet, France
was expected to side with Russia.

Washington.-The Republicans and
the Democrats have their Presidential tickets. The
All Set For e 1 e p h a n t and the
donkey have their
Big Race
jockeys for the campaign. The tumult and the shouting
-and the bllstering, withering fire of
politics, have begun.
It Is a long way to the finish line
where the checkered flag falls for the
winner of the race. But the big fight
Is really on and It Is Interesting as
well as significant to note how it
has started.
It Is always a sure sign that party
leaders respect and fear their opponents when they start a campaign
with a declaration that the enemy Is
weak; that his selection resulted from
chicanery or bossism, or that the particular candidate selected bas been
put up as a sacrifice. That- Is what
bas happened already in the current
campaign, and you can expect it to
continue because It is stating no secret to disclose that the New Dealers
fear Gov. A.lf M. Landon of Kansas,
the Hepublican nominee, and that the
Republican leadership, beneath the
surface, are wishing for a clairvoyant
or crystal gaZ('r to tell them how
much of a chance they llave to
beat President-candidate Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Of course, no astute political observer would dare predict at this
stage , of the game who the winner
will be.
On the other hand, It Is
part of the psychology of the game of
politics for politicians to claim everything In sight. Yet, I know that each
side expects a real battle, a horse
race. The November result is pretty
likely to be dete1·mlned by events of
the next two months. At the end of
that time, trends will be evident and
some appraisal of the campaign will
be possible. In the Interim, claims
and high sounding phrases will be offered by the basketful and enthusiasm
wlll be promoted. Yet, the end, the
result, wlll not begin to be evident
until afterward because this Is the
season for the tumult and shouting.
I cannot concur In the claims already advanced by Postmaster General-Chairman Farley that the election is In the bag for Mr. Roosevelt
any more than I can believe that
Chairman John Hamilton of the Republicans is equipped with special
foresight enabling him to say that
Governor Landon Is a sure winner.
I said above that the campaign bas
all of the appearance of a horse race
and a close one. To that extent It is
a condition much more favorable to
the Republicans than obtained three
months ago when, as I recall, I suggested that if the election were held
at that time, Mr. Roosevelt bad a 604{) advantage over anybody the Republicans could name. To say now, therefore, that the race probably will be
close necessarily indicates two things:
unification of Republican strength, and
some mistakes by the Democratic leadership (one may properly Inquire
what has brought about the unitlcatlon of the Republicans). The answer
seems rather obvious. It is that lhe
Republican party has been reorganIzed from tip to toe. The reorganization has been more sweeping and more
effective and the result much more
satisfactory to the country than most
political observers had any reason to
expect. I say "satisfactory to the
country" because the Republican party
Is a major political unit and, though
at present a minority party, wlll come
back to power some time. The Democrats have been a minority party, and
the course of human events bas witnessed It restored to power. So the
people have a stake in either party,
and whichever one proceeds to improve its political structm·e is giving
something of vital value to the country as a whole.

• • •

The Democratic attack on the Republicans for the last sixteen years
bas been concenG. 0. P.
trated to a large exClean&amp; Houae tent on the charge
that the Republicans were boss-controlled. Chairman
Farley has continually harped on that
alleged condition. When the Republicans did their house cleaning job at
Cleveland, they took away an important Issue from the Democrats, but
even so some of the Democrats and
some independents, like Senator George
Norris of Nebraska, refused to accept the purging as genuine.
Senator Norris disclosed his attitude very definitely the other day
when be broadcast a radio speech. He
employed the time-worn allegation
that the Cleveland convention was
dominated by "special interests," and
that the platform adopted there was

subjected to defections of one kind OI
another.

• • •

Now, concerning mistakes that have
been made:
Chairman Farley made a bad mistake politically when he said that Alfred 1\f. Landon was
Some
"just the ll t t l eknown governor of
Mistake•
a
typical prairie
state." That remark bas been rising
to haunt the Democratic chairman almost daily since It escaped from his
Ups, and unless I miss my gu~c&gt;ss he
wlll hear It repeated, thrown Into his
teeth, so many times between now noll
November that the words will give
him a stomachache equivalent to
green apples.
The reasons this remark was a serious blunder are two. First and foremost is that every state In the Union
rightfully has justified pride of Its
people, Its commerce and lndtlstr.v and
its fu ture prospects. Every state feels
profound resentment when Its capacity to do great things is questioned.
Consequently, when Mr. Farley catalogued Kansas as a typical prairie
state and its governor as little-lmown,
there was a surging t idal wave of resentment, and it was not confined to
Kansas alone.
The second reason why Mr. Fm·l~c&gt;y's
remark cut the wrong way was that
1\Ir. Farley Is a New Yorker and a
Tammanyite. There Is something repulsive to the millions of mid we~t­
erners about Tammany, and n very
great many residents of prairie states
long have objected to the attempt of
certain New Yorkers to ''run things"
for the whole United States.
Another mistake that has been
made, really a series of mistakes, Is
the coercion that bas been permitted
to go on among those receiving relief.
It Is not exactly fair to charge Mr.
Farley and President Roosevelt with
these, yet I am Inclined to believe
they could have prevented local
Democratic politicians from attemptIng to force relief clients to vote the
Democratic ticket. That condlllon has
obtained In as many as fifteen states.
It Is one of those things In politics
that naturally causes a revulsion of
feeling, yet It is one of those things
with which the leaders possibly may
have had nothing directly to do. The
fact that they might have prevented
It and did not Is accepted by the
average voter In exactly the same
light as though a written order directing such procedure bad been Issued.
The handling of the tax qnE'stlon by
the administration in this session of
congress has not been of a character
warranting too much praise. It has
alienated many lnOuential persons
who might otherwise have supported
1\fr. Roosevelt. Of course, in the end
the President c11n say that he wanted
additional funds In order to start the
balancing of the national budget, but
I know of a great number of Democrats in congress who have been thoroughly displeased by the White Ilouse
insistence for a reform tax law rather than a revenue law. It seems to
me. therefore, that a considerable
amount of campaign material will be
developed from this fact.
And so it goes with Democratic mistakes.

• • •

On the other side of the picture, the
Republicans can malie mistakes yet,
plenty of t hem.
On the
They have an adOther Hand vantage over the
Democrats In one
regard: they have not been char(.!ed
with the responsibility of government
for the last three and one-half years,
and therefore will not have to answer
for mistakes In administration. It
lies In the hands of the Republican
managers, therefore, to prevent political mistakes between now and election If they are capable of so doing.
They have started out with an offensive campaign and have an opportunity to continue It, whereas the Democrats can conduct an offensive campaign only so long as they can avoid
entering Into a defense of Roosevelt
New Deal policies.
t understand tllat the Democratic
national committee Is loaded to the
dashboard with material for attack,
but from this stage of the battle It
seems quite apparent that they are
going to need plans for defense as
well as offense, and they will not have
enthusiastic support from some spots
in their own army.
The Democrats are prepared to attack Governor Landon on the theory
that the country cannot feel sure of
his plans and policies; that he bas
done nothing to enable the country to
appraise him and that there is no assurance, in event of his election, that
he is a big enough man for the job
of Chief Executive.
On the other
band, the Republicans can counter-attack by using the language of Senator
Copeland, New York Democrat, who
declared that no man nor party disregarding its pledges was to be trusted, and right there is where the New
Dealers must begin to defend.

.John Hancock, one of the richest
men of Boston town, had much to lose
by his stand. It was no Idle gesture
to him, this adoption of the cause of
the colonies. Ills properties were to
be forfeited to the crown for what
would be considered an act of treason
but John ITancock did not hesitate because of this. Ile was a native of
Drnintree, therefore a friend and nelgllhor, no doubt, of John Adams, who was
afterward to be the second Presiuent
of the U nlted States.
The adopted son of an uncle, Thomas
Hancock, who left him a large fortune,
young Hancock was a graduate of Harvard In 175-l, and was one of a numerous family of Hancocks In the vicinity.
As a member of the CommHtee of
Patriots appointed after the massacre

he preached an oration In which he
flared the cowardice of the British

When the Continental Congress was

was wise and kept him In his post as

day, but were Insuring themselves
against the sad accident of sleeping
past three o'clock In the morning. Any
Loy who wasn't out by three o'clock in
the morning shooting firecrackers under the respective windows of the pastor, the school principal and the trunncy officer was deemed a sissy and
not fit for human companionship the
rest of the day.
'l'he opening ceremony was the only
one unanimously attended. From that
time on, too many things were happenIng to engage the entire juvenlle attention at one time. There was the
sunrise salute of 21 guns, engineered
by the village backsmlth who placed
one great anvil upon another with
giant powder in between, touched oft
from a daring proximity with a red
hot iron. Usually the nether anvil
grew very hot before the 21 salutes
were fired and this was one ot the
causes of many distressing accidents
In the Insane era. At ten o'clock there
was the rendition of the "Star-Spangled
Banner," led by the band and assisted
by the ladies or the G. A. R., whose
voices sometimes didn't quite make the
high notes; and the reading of the Dec·
laratlon of Independence by the mayor,
Hostilities usually were suspended
at noon for the community dinner In
the city pari,, where fried chicken, water melon and lemonade from a barrel
engaged the general attention until
satiety was reached. The afternoon
was a dizzy succession of patriotic
and athletic events, wherein the popular candidate for congress, vied with
a greased pole, a pie-eating contest nod
a ball game, ror popular attention. It
the honorable candidate wound up with
thirty in his atHlience, nnd the ball
game wound up in a fight with victory
for the home club, the celebration was
considered a s11ccess. The only remaining Item of importance was the
stu[lenclous fir·eworl;s display, staged
on a hay wngon at the north end of
l\lnio street; an event which somt!·
times was rained ont, and sometimes
prematurely Ignited by over-zealous
manipulators, resulting in bad burns
duly chronicled in the vital statistics
column of the home paper In the suc·
ceeding Issue.
Such was the Fourth or July celebration in the early HlOOs, fraught, as one
may see. with ~rrent dangers later
minimized by the Sane Fourth campaign.

and Joseph Perry and Samuel Hood,
These old doctors faithfully rode tbe
country ro'u nd about, Dr. Minard In an
old single seated top buggy, with two
horses, and Dr. Perry rode a horse,
sitting as erect as the proverbial ramrod. Theirs was more a labor of love
than gain for they ~eldom charged
more than a dollar or two for a country visit ' which was usually charged
and sometimes collected.
"In 1849 or 50 the first gold bunters, consisting of Austin and Benjamin

Their gold
was contained in a chamois skin belt
worn next to their bodies and consisted of twenty dollar gold pieces.

abolition of the historic two-thirds rule.

marked with extreme
enthusiasm.

In the past three ~·ears
and present a united front In the comlog campaign characteriZed the convention.
Tile abolition of the two-thirds rule
for the nomination of candidates was
one of the !il~niflcant achievements.
This rule, which had been In use for
more than 100 years, was superseded
by the adoption of the rules committee's
report recorumen&lt;ling that at future
conventions only a bare majority be
required for nomination. While some
southern and the ea~tern and western
states OP!JOSe&lt;l aurogatlon, they were
reconciled to It 1: the corumlt~ee's
recommen&lt;lation that changes be mnde
in the apportionment of dclegatc&gt;s.
The platform pledged continuance of
soil conservation, benetlt payments to
farmers, a sound currency, a balanced
budget and a constltutlona l amendment if necessary, to achieve th~c&gt;
party's broad social program.
lt
praised the accomplishments of the
New Deal In a preamule, &lt;leclarln~ that
1t planned to continue them In the
Interest of the nation. The platform's
keynote was that the Roosevelt aumlnJstratlon has put and will keep the
nation "on the road the recovery and
prosperity."
Regarding the Constitution, the platform declared that while the Republican platform proposes to meet national problems by action of the separate states, the Democratic party recognizes that minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor, monopolistic
and unfair business practices, dust
storms, drouth and floods could not be
bandied by states. It stated:
"If these problems cannot be effectively solved by legislation wlthJo the Constitution, we shall seek
such clarifying amendments as wlll
nssume to the legislatures of the several states and to the congress of the
United States each within its proper
jurisdiction, the power to enact those
laws which the state and federal legislatures within their respecth' e
spheres shall find necessary, In order adequately to regulate commerce,
protect public health and safety and
safeguard economic security. Thus
we propose to maintain the letter and
spirit of the Constitution."
In addition to soil conservation and
benefit payments, the farm plank
pledged the Democrats to fioaocin~
share-croppers and tenants in buying
lands; favored commodity loans on
farm surpluses and retirement of ten
million acres of submarginal land
from production and rural rebabilltation.
Reiterating the "good neighbor"
policy, the foreign relations plallk
reaffirmed the party's neutrality progi·am pledged to keep the nation out
of foreign entanglements. It reasserted the reciprocal tariff policy, but
demanded "adequate" protection to
farmers and manufacturers against
unfair foreign competition,
Denouncing monopolies and concentration of economic power, the platform declared that the administration
would "vigorously and fearlessly enforce the criminal an&lt;l civil provisions
of the existing anti-trust laws."
Other planks pledge(): Expansion
of the social security program; continuance of rurnl electrification; protection of the rights of labor to !oargain collectiYely; extension of feJeral
housing projects; just treatment of
war veterans and their dependents;
extension of the merit system through
classified civil service; freedom of
JSpeech, press, radio, religion and assembly; projection of public works
projects to aid unemployment; opposition to Communism and "the menace
of concealed Fascism.

specter of drouth stalked in
Northwest. Damage to crops
on heat-parched farms in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana caused
great concern and recalled the di~as­
trous drouth conditions of two years
ago.
Railroads serving the drouth areas
agreed to place emergency freight rates
1nto effect on live stock shipments to
other grazing areas. Wheat and corn
crops have suffered severe damage, reports indicate.
In Washington, a relief program ~or
the drouth-stricken northwest states
was mapped out by Relief Adminis·
trator Harry L. Hopkins. Work relief
projects designed to give work at once
to 5,000 farmers in the Dakotas and
parts of Wyoming and Montana, whose
crop lands have been laid waste for the
seventh consecutive year, were planned.

62 per cent In 1!134; and Kansas 37 per
cent in 1036 and 65 per cent In 1034.
Added to the seriousness of the
drouth situation was a plague of grasshoppers that swept over eastern Nebraska, threatening to destroy hundreds of square miles of crops. The
swarm was reported to be 100 miles
long. In l'pots the insects were said to
be so numerous that they hid the sun
as they pass!:'d over valuable farm
lands.
In 1\!ootreaux, SwitzM EETING
erland, an international conference sought settlement of military and
naval problems In the 1\Iedlterranean.
'l'be conference had been called by the
powers as a result of Turkey's request
to fortify the Dardanelles, which were
demilitarized under the Lausanne
treaty of 1023.
The possible threat of Russia's growIng naval strength caused an alignment of the British and .Japanese.
Japan announced it was willing to accept any limitation on .Japnn&lt;&gt;!'e \Yarsbips authorized to enter the Blaclt
sea, providing similar restrictions were
placed on Russian warships leaving It.
Russia demun&lt;led free westward passage of warships and submarines out
of the Black sea through the Dardanelles, adding she was unable to see
why other powers not bordl'ring on this

Washington.-The Republicans and
the Democrats have their Presidential tickets. The
All Set For e 1 e p h a n t and the
donkey have their
Big Race
jockeys for the campaign. The tumult and the shouting
-and the bllstering, withering fire of
politics, have begun.
It Is a long way to the finish line
where the checkered flag falls for the
winner of the race. But the big fight
Is really on and It Is Interesting as
well as significant to note how it
has started.
It Is always a sure sign that party
leaders respect and fear their opponents when they start a campaign
with a declaration that the enemy Is
weak; that his selection resulted from
chicanery or bossism, or that the particular candidate selected bas been
put up as a sacrifice. That- Is what
bas happened already in the current
campaign, and you can expect it to
continue because It is stating no secret to disclose that the New Dealers
fear Gov. A.lf M. Landon of Kansas,
the Hepublican nominee, and that the
Republican leadership, beneath the
surface, are wishing for a clairvoyant
or crystal gaZ('r to tell them how
much of a chance they llave to
beat President-candidate Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Of course, no astute political observer would dare predict at this
stage , of the game who the winner
will be.
On the other hand, It Is
part of the psychology of the game of
politics for politicians to claim everything In sight. Yet, I know that each
side expects a real battle, a horse
race. The November result is pretty
likely to be dete1·mlned by events of
the next two months. At the end of
that time, trends will be evident and
some appraisal of the campaign will
be possible. In the Interim, claims
and high sounding phrases will be offered by the basketful and enthusiasm
wlll be promoted. Yet, the end, the
result, wlll not begin to be evident
until afterward because this Is the
season for the tumult and shouting.
I cannot concur In the claims already advanced by Postmaster General-Chairman Farley that the election is In the bag for Mr. Roosevelt
any more than I can believe that
Chairman John Hamilton of the Republicans is equipped with special
foresight enabling him to say that
Governor Landon Is a sure winner.
I said above that the campaign bas
all of the appearance of a horse race
and a close one. To that extent It is
a condition much more favorable to
the Republicans than obtained three
months ago when, as I recall, I suggested that if the election were held
at that time, Mr. Roosevelt bad a 604{) advantage over anybody the Republicans could name. To say now, therefore, that the race probably will be
close necessarily indicates two things:
unification of Republican strength, and
some mistakes by the Democratic leadership (one may properly Inquire
what has brought about the unitlcatlon of the Republicans). The answer
seems rather obvious. It is that lhe
Republican party has been reorganIzed from tip to toe. The reorganization has been more sweeping and more
effective and the result much more
satisfactory to the country than most
political observers had any reason to
expect. I say "satisfactory to the
country" because the Republican party
Is a major political unit and, though
at present a minority party, wlll come
back to power some time. The Democrats have been a minority party, and
the course of human events bas witnessed It restored to power. So the
people have a stake in either party,
and whichever one proceeds to improve its political structm·e is giving
something of vital value to the country as a whole.

The Democratic attack on the Republicans for the last sixteen years
bas been concenG. 0. P.
trated to a large exClean&amp; Houae tent on the charge
that the Republicans were boss-controlled. Chairman
Farley has continually harped on that
alleged condition. When the Republicans did their house cleaning job at
Cleveland, they took away an important Issue from the Democrats, but
even so some of the Democrats and
some independents, like Senator George
Norris of Nebraska, refused to accept the purging as genuine.
Senator Norris disclosed his attitude very definitely the other day
when be broadcast a radio speech. He
employed the time-worn allegation
that the Cleveland convention was
dominated by "special interests," and
that the platform adopted there was

subjected to defections of one kind OI
another.

• • •

Now, concerning mistakes that have
been made:
Chairman Farley made a bad mistake politically when he said that Alfred 1\f. Landon was
Some
"just the ll t t l eknown governor of
Mistake•
a
typical prairie
state." That remark bas been rising
to haunt the Democratic chairman almost daily since It escaped from his
Ups, and unless I miss my gu~c&gt;ss he
wlll hear It repeated, thrown Into his
teeth, so many times between now noll
November that the words will give
him a stomachache equivalent to
green apples.
The reasons this remark was a serious blunder are two. First and foremost is that every state In the Union
rightfully has justified pride of Its
people, Its commerce and lndtlstr.v and
its fu ture prospects. Every state feels
profound resentment when Its capacity to do great things is questioned.
Consequently, when Mr. Farley catalogued Kansas as a typical prairie
state and its governor as little-lmown,
there was a surging t idal wave of resentment, and it was not confined to
Kansas alone.
The second reason why Mr. Fm·l~c&gt;y's
remark cut the wrong way was that
1\Ir. Farley Is a New Yorker and a
Tammanyite. There Is something repulsive to the millions of mid we~t­
erners about Tammany, and n very
great many residents of prairie states
long have objected to the attempt of
certain New Yorkers to ''run things"
for the whole United States.
Another mistake that has been
made, really a series of mistakes, Is
the coercion that bas been permitted
to go on among those receiving relief.
It Is not exactly fair to charge Mr.
Farley and President Roosevelt with
these, yet I am Inclined to believe
they could have prevented local
Democratic politicians from attemptIng to force relief clients to vote the
Democratic ticket. That condlllon has
obtained In as many as fifteen states.
It Is one of those things In politics
that naturally causes a revulsion of
feeling, yet It is one of those things
with which the leaders possibly may
have had nothing directly to do. The
fact that they might have prevented
It and did not Is accepted by the
average voter In exactly the same
light as though a written order directing such procedure bad been Issued.
The handling of the tax qnE'stlon by
the administration in this session of
congress has not been of a character
warranting too much praise. It has
alienated many lnOuential persons
who might otherwise have supported
1\fr. Roosevelt. Of course, in the end
the President c11n say that he wanted
additional funds In order to start the
balancing of the national budget, but
I know of a great number of Democrats in congress who have been thoroughly displeased by the White Ilouse
insistence for a reform tax law rather than a revenue law. It seems to
me. therefore, that a considerable
amount of campaign material will be
developed from this fact.
And so it goes with Democratic mistakes.

• • •

On the other side of the picture, the
Republicans can malie mistakes yet,
plenty of t hem.
On the
They have an adOther Hand vantage over the
Democrats In one
regard: they have not been char(.!ed
with the responsibility of government
for the last three and one-half years,
and therefore will not have to answer
for mistakes In administration. It
lies In the hands of the Republican
managers, therefore, to prevent political mistakes between now and election If they are capable of so doing.
They have started out with an offensive campaign and have an opportunity to continue It, whereas the Democrats can conduct an offensive campaign only so long as they can avoid
entering Into a defense of Roosevelt
New Deal policies.
t understand tllat the Democratic
national committee Is loaded to the
dashboard with material for attack,
but from this stage of the battle It
seems quite apparent that they are
going to need plans for defense as
well as offense, and they will not have
enthusiastic support from some spots
in their own army.
The Democrats are prepared to attack Governor Landon on the theory
that the country cannot feel sure of
his plans and policies; that he bas
done nothing to enable the country to
appraise him and that there is no assurance, in event of his election, that
he is a big enough man for the job
of Chief Executive.
On the other
band, the Republicans can counter-attack by using the language of Senator
Copeland, New York Democrat, who
declared that no man nor party disregarding its pledges was to be trusted, and right there is where the New
Dealers must begin to defend.

.John Hancock, one of the richest
men of Boston town, had much to lose
by his stand. It was no Idle gesture
to him, this adoption of the cause of
the colonies. Ills properties were to
be forfeited to the crown for what
would be considered an act of treason
but John ITancock did not hesitate because of this. Ile was a native of
Drnintree, therefore a friend and nelgllhor, no doubt, of John Adams, who was
afterward to be the second Presiuent
of the U nlted States.
The adopted son of an uncle, Thomas
Hancock, who left him a large fortune,
young Hancock was a graduate of Harvard In 175-l, and was one of a numerous family of Hancocks In the vicinity.
As a member of the CommHtee of
Patriots appointed after the massacre
l n Boston asking the British to withdraw, Ilancock. bud counseled every
honorable means to avoid the conflict
impending. At the funeral or the slain
he preached an oration In which he
flared the cowardice of the British
officers and men ln slaughtering unarmed men.
When the Continental Congress was
formed John Ilancock represented
Massachusetts therein and In 1775-1777
served as Its president.
In his spacious Boston mansion meanwhile Lord Percy, Britain's pet, held
sway. A price was put on the bead of
John Oancock as well, which only
amused the game patriot. Hancock
wns so eager to fight that he let It be
!mown that he was willing to face the
hardships of the field. But congress
was wise and kept him In his post as
Its presiding officer.
After his Revolutionary service was
over, Hancock was elected the first
governor of Massachusetts, which orflee he beld from 1787 until his death.
John Adams spoke of him as a

so busy were his heirs in distributing
his property after his death that they
did not erect a tombstone. Massachusetts In later years repaired this omission and a monument now stands over

Printed the Declaration

The Declaration of Independence was
printed on the press of John Dunlap
lluring the night of July 4, 177G, in
Philadelphia.

OOKING back from the security
of our present Fourth o1' July
saneness to the early 1900s when
ull Fourths were Insane, we
are compelled to admit that
we did pretty well in those
days considering the limited means we had o1' being
Insane compared to the advantages we
enjoy now In our state of scientific
sanity, states a writer ln the Knnsas
City Star.
'l'o n boy of the Insane Fourth era,
thE' Fourth of .Tuly ranked only with
Christmas in fisral Importance. On
Christmas we knew It was 102 days to
the li'ourth, and on the Fourth we
knew we had only 173 nays until
Chri;,tmas. Christmas savings funds
had not been In·
vented ut that time,
and w o u I d huve
been of no interest
to boys anyhow, because boys were on
the receiving end at
Christmas.
On the night before the Fourth, the
c h I I d r en began
showing s t r n n g e
symptoms, especially no unnatuml willingness to go to
bed early. 'l'hat ges·
ture was deceiving
and specious; the
children were not interested in getting
their rightful rest before a strenuous
day, but were Insuring themselves
against the sad accident of sleeping
past three o'clock In the morning. Any
Loy who wasn't out by three o'clock in
the morning shooting firecrackers under the respective windows of the pastor, the school principal and the trunncy officer was deemed a sissy and
not fit for human companionship the
rest of the day.
'l'he opening ceremony was the only
one unanimously attended. From that
time on, too many things were happenIng to engage the entire juvenlle attention at one time. There was the
sunrise salute of 21 guns, engineered
by the village backsmlth who placed
one great anvil upon another with
giant powder in between, touched oft
from a daring proximity with a red
hot iron. Usually the nether anvil
grew very hot before the 21 salutes
were fired and this was one ot the
causes of many distressing accidents
In the Insane era. At ten o'clock there
was the rendition of the "Star-Spangled
Banner," led by the band and assisted
by the ladies or the G. A. R., whose
voices sometimes didn't quite make the
high notes; and the reading of the Dec·
laratlon of Independence by the mayor,
Hostilities usually were suspended
at noon for the community dinner In
the city pari,, where fried chicken, water melon and lemonade from a barrel
engaged the general attention until
satiety was reached. The afternoon
was a dizzy succession of patriotic
and athletic events, wherein the popular candidate for congress, vied with
a greased pole, a pie-eating contest nod
a ball game, ror popular attention. It
the honorable candidate wound up with
thirty in his atHlience, nnd the ball
game wound up in a fight with victory
for the home club, the celebration was
considered a s11ccess. The only remaining Item of importance was the
stu[lenclous fir·eworl;s display, staged
on a hay wngon at the north end of
l\lnio street; an event which somt!·
times was rained ont, and sometimes
prematurely Ignited by over-zealous
manipulators, resulting in bad burns
duly chronicled in the vital statistics
column of the home paper In the suc·
ceeding Issue.
Such was the Fourth or July celebration in the early HlOOs, fraught, as one
may see. with ~rrent dangers later
minimized by the Sane Fourth campaign.

The dismayed fair-goer almost swallowed his toothpick In his vexation.
He had turned toward a nearby hat

there came a sudden swirl, another

seltled on his brow.
'.rhe second hat was of fine texture,
In good condition, and fitted perfectly,
all these details having been carefully
attended to by the second errant

These old doctors faithfully rode tbe

ARCADIA, CALIF.-Santa Anita's
$5,000,000 plant opened one recent Saturday with its million dollars
prize money and some $40,000,000 waiting for
the mutuel windows. Santa Anita
and Florida together will hang up
close to $2,000,000 in
purses this winter,
which is more coin
than horsemen have
ever looked at in
the racing game, as
far as I can add up
the figures.
But the two main
Grantland Rice topics of interest
you run across out
this way are the following:
1. How or where can they dig up
a horse which can prevent Challedon
from cracking Seabiscuit's all-time
money record with so much gold to
shoot at?
2. Will there be truer racing form
in the wake of the recent jockey
scandal when so many alert riders
were located in the pay of crooked
gamblers, who had no trouble picking winners in advance?
This latter system gives the picker, on the inside, a great chance for
a mop-up. The main idea is that he
can't miss, which is at least financially sound. So those who are on
the outside, meaning only 99 per
cent, who were badly stung, are now
waiting to see what will hllppen.
Which means that beaten favorites, even those beaten on the
straight level, will be regarded with
deep suspicion unless the normal
average above 35 per cent is maintained.
Around the East this favorite
average was dropping down to
something like 25 per cent or lessor the size of your hat. Don't think
the East was any too pure.

WASHINGTON. - Rough -hewn
seems to be the word I'm after.
I sat in the office of the secretary
of agriculture, a big empty-looking
room, and thought of a new axe biting into a Jog. Chips were flying.
Then, there was the cut, clean and
fresh. Then another. And another.
Not smooth, machine edge, such as
a new saw makes with the regular
lines the teeth leave across the surface. But a good straight job, the
mark of each blow, surely placed,
across the grain, clear through.
That's what I was thinking about
as I talked with Claude Wickard,
the big round-faced, homely fellow,
a little awkward behind the mahogany desk but not awkward, I felt
sure, standing up in a farm wagon,
1 eins in his hands, confident and solId, his feet apart as the wheels
bumped over the field.
Not so much at home but sure of
what he was after behind the desk,
the way he was that night when he
called the meeting in the little Indiana schoolhouse, a kerosene lamp
that hadn't been cleaned for a long
time sputtering beside him, 14 or 20
farmers sitting in front of him as he
organized the first Farm Bureau
meeting in his community-the first
one he ever attended, too.
COMES TO WASHINGTON
That scene, as he described it,
stuck in my mind because it seemed
to be the turning point in his career, or perhaps the first milestone
on the road that at last took him
reluctantly away from the acres that
had been in the Wickard family
since the 1840s and brought him

CLAUDE WICKARD
Rough-hewn is the word.
down to Washington-into the government where he has been trying to
put into practice the ideas he
thought would be good for other
farmers and other acres from Maine
to California.
Claude Wickard first came to the
capital in 1933 to become assistant
and later chief of the corn-hog section of the Triple-A. He was made
secretary of the department of agriculture last August when Secretary
Wallace resigned to run for vice
president. But his heart is still back
in Carrol county, Indiana, where his
71-year-old father and two men are
running his farm.
Corn and hogs were on Secretary
Wickard's mind when I talked to
him the other day, and it was corn
and hogs that brought him to Washington in the beginning by way of
Des Moines, Iowa, but it really goes
back further than that. The schoolhouse meeting, I spoke of, was the
milestone, but the day he told his
father he was going to college was
really the beginning. In those days
-and it isn't so long ago because
Wickard is only 47-a lot of farmers
thought that all a boy would get in
college was a lot of darn-fool ideas.
Only one of the Wickard's neighbors had been to college, but Purdue
university was only 30 miles away
and the idea percolated. Young
Claude went and when he was graduated (agricultural course, of course)
in 1915 he was ready to take over
the farm. Twelve years later the
Prairie Farmer named him as a
Master Farmer of Indiana. That
was the only thing he boasted about
in the half-hour conversation I bad
with him.

WINS STATE MEDALS
Soil building brought him state
medals later for success in increasing crop-yields and hog production.
It also got him a request from the
State Farm Bureau organization to
get busy and organize a unit in his
community. There wasn't any farm
organization in his county then. He
was supposed to go to the county
seat and learn how to do it but he
was too busy with his chores to get
away so he just called a meeting in
the schoolhouse and told his neighbors what he thought ought to be
done.
"I guess I sort of overstated what
we could do," he said to me as he
repeated the anecdote, "some of the
fellows asked me afterward where
all the reforms I talked about went
to." He smiled that wide smile of
his. Some of these ideas worked
out. And the Master Farmer, in
1932, was chosen by the three rural
counties that were his district to go
to the state senate. The next year
he was chosen Indiana delegate to
the National Corn Hog conference
at Des Moines. All this time the
farm was his chief preoccupation,
was then as it still is, his only
source of income besides his salary.
OFFERED POSITION
The conference had hardly started when A. G. Black, whose room
was on the same floor of the hotel as
Wickard's, buttonholed him. Black
was then head of the Corn Hog section of the Triple A. He wanted an
assistant and he wanted Wickard for
the job and wanted him right away.
It seemed a pretty important offer, but it also seemed impossible.
You can't lock up a farm like a city
flat and walk off with the key in
your pocket. But Black was persistent and after a mental and physical struggle, the Master Farmer
mastered the situation, and with
many a backward look set off for
Washington.
He managed to keep in pretty
close touch with Carrol County while
he was Corn Hog boss, but now it's
harder ~ecause a secretary of agriculture ~s kept very busy.

This Jockey Stuff
I can say this much. In Jerry

best and smartest chairmans of a

ever known. He is both completely
honest and just as able.
With sportsmen such as Carleton
Burke and others on the lookout,
Santa Anita has built up every
known precaution against cheating.
It will take an extra shrewd manipulator or an extra clever jockey to
open some new form of chiseling.
There is nearly always.chiser

They JUSt happen to be built along
those lines, in so many ways. It's
a vital part of the trade-like politics.
It so happens that racing has the
widest gap of all-the drop from such
sportsmen as Al Vanderbilt, Carleton Burke Charley Howard BiiJ Boeing and ~any others to jo~keys and
a few trainers who happened to
be lured by the fragrant odor ot
easy, it tainted, cash.
Racing is a thrilling sport. On the
average it carries far more thrills
for those who have $2 across or $10
on the nose, than any other sport.
It is no way to make any money.

Spain Needs Cotton
Receipts of raw cotton in Spain
during the three months beginning August 1, 1940, totaled about
50,000 bales all of which was Argentine cotton except for 2,100
bales of American, according to
information received in the office of foreign agricultural relations. These quantities represent
little more than half of normal
requirements for the three-month
period so that the shortage of raw
mater.a!s is still acute.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
HEN a woman writes
me that after so many
years of marriage three or ten or fifteen, she and
her husband have made the dismal discovery that they have
absolutely nothing in common,
that they are beginning to jar
terribly on each others nerves,
that without wishing each other
any ill, they can no longer live
together in anything but continual repression, discomfort
and utter futility, then I know
that she-or he, or both of them
-are exhibiting a lack of character and, common sense.
It is quite different when
serious matters are influencing either one. Intemperance,

W

cruelty, infidelity may be valid
grounds for the breaking up of
liomes and the separation of children, although in the last-mentioned
case I have always thought divorce
too high a price to pay for temporary weakness and vanity.
But when it is just a general lessening of affection, glamour, companionability, mutual satisfaction in
being together, it means that one
or the other has let go. Has stopped
the pleasantness that is friendship
in marriage, the eagerness to discuss plans, the readiness to forgive trifling mistakes, the old honeymoon anxiety to be generous and
considerate and loving.
Once these are lost, they are hard
to recapture. It can be done. But
the wiser way is never to lose them.
Husband's Position Parallels Child's.
That a husband is in much the
child's position is a simple truth
that many wives fail to grasp. Coldness, sharpness of voice, scolding,
indifference, putting the feelings or
the comfort of other persons firsther family, her old friends, herself
-begins the trouble. Then when his
affections wander, and when she
suddenly senses that she no longer
comes first with him, It avails her
very little to reproach him, to ask
1 pathetically how she has failed him.
She has kept his house and borne
his child and never been unfaithful
and given him the best years of her
life, she protests. What more did
Ae expect?
But if he is thoroughly alienated
by years of being just a bill-paying
boarder in his own house, with a
wife whose interests run entirely to
her own beauty, bridge lunches,
matinees with the girls, friends he
does not know or does not like, she
finds-as thousands of women find
every year, that the neat selfish little
scheme she has built up is a house of
cards and that she is being forced
to join the ranks of the d ivorced.
Dislike Divorce.
Most women hate the idea of
divorce. They suffer bitterly with
loneliness, once marriage is dis·
solved, and they suffer more when
they realize that a second marriage means life with another man
just as faulty as the first, and the
fearful problem of the children's loyalties and their happiness thrown in.
The moral of which is that it would
pay many a woman to check up on
her marriage now. It would pay her

Mine. And I'd sure relish roundin'

"No," Katie said, "that's a luxury

men will take Miss Coburn and the
baby back to Toklutna in the truck
I'll get help and push on to the
Happy Day and see that this baby
killer is put where he belongs."
Sidney Lander, who had been looking down at the blanket-wrapped papoose, lifted his head and caught
my eye.
"I'll take Miss Coburn through to
1:'oklutna," he quietly announced.
And I could feel my pulse skip a
beat, casual as I tried to appear
about it all.
It was Sock-Eye who crossed to
the door and looked out.
"There's sure a smell o' snow in
the air," he warned. "We'd best
fix up that truck more comfortable
.and stick a shovel in between the
blankets and grub bags."

"You're facing this like an oldtimer," he said.
"I used to go out on the trail
with my father," I reminded him.
"That's what I want to talk to
you about," he said. "Can you remember his camp on the Chakitana?"
"I was never there," I had to ad-

mit.
"Then it won't be easy to explain
what I want to," he went on. "Your
father had a real mine there. And
he must have known it."
"Of course he did," I said, recalling ghostly scraps of talk from my
childhood.
"Well, so does the Trumbull outfit," proclaimed my companion.
"The Chakitana Development Company always wanted a clean sweep
of that valley bottom. They even
sent me up there as field engineer
to find out how the land lay and
corral any territory needed to round
out their development work. It was
your father's claim which cut their
field in two and kept them from having full control."
"He always said he'd never sell
out," I explained.
"Of course he did," cried Lander.
"He may have been a lone-fire prospector, but he knew he held a key
position there .
And when they

which my companion said, "Good
work!" And I remembered the faded and dog-eared certificate, w:th
the photo attached, also slightly faded, showing my father looking young
and strong, in the pride of his early
manhood. I'd always treasured that
picture of him, the only one I po9
sessed.
"That means our battle's ha!l
won," proclaimed Lander.
"Why do you say our battle''' I
asked. Lander's face, as our gvwces
locked, hardened a little. Then he
laughed his curt laugh.
"Since I muddled into this thing,"
he said, "I'm going to be bullheaded
enough to see it through."
"But it's all so long ago," I objected. "And you can't wreck your
career championing lost causes."
"My career isn't wrecked. I'm
thinking of swinging in with the
Happy Day outfit, in fact, just beyond the Matanuska."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because then we won't be so far
apart," he said.
"You've been very kind to me," I
said.
"You're easy to be kind to," Lander retorted with a quiet intensity
that should have shifted my heart
action into high. But I had certain
things to remember.
"What does that mean?" I exacted.
He leaned a little closer under
the swaying lantern.
"It means I'm happier being with
you than with anyone who walks this
good green earth."
I was able to laugh a little. "It
isn't green," I reminded him. "And
you might also remember why you
so nearly missed the boat at Seattle?"
I could see his jaw muscles hard·
en as he sat staring at me in the
dim light from the lantern.
"I guess I'm running a little ahead
of schedule," he said as. he rose to

DEPLETED SOILS
NEED MINERALS
Plants Require Phosphorus,

Here's a Chans·e FronL Old Stand~Bys:
Cereal Coohics; So Tastv, LoH i ~ Cost

Man is separated from starvation
only by the frail fabric of the green
coloring matter in plants called
Chlorophyl. It is only the green
plant, energized by light, that can
combine the simple materials of nature, such as carbon dioxide of the
air, water, and mineral salts from
the soil into the complex substances
that serve as food for man and
beast.
The wants of. plants are comparatively few, but it behooves man to
supply them lest the plant factory
fail. Natural agencies, dependent
on life processes, maintain an adequate supply of carbon dioxide in
the air, and as long as the life cycle
persists, plants will not lack for this
building material. Water, too, is
supplied by a generous nature in
sufficient quantities to extensive
areas and by irrigation to many
acres more. But how about the
supply of mineral salts from the
soil? That is where the pinch comes
and gives man his opportunity to
play the good Samaritan.
Soil particles, largely rock fragments, decay slowly, setting free
the mineral nutrients needed by
plants. This decay process is slow,
entirely too slow to meet plant requirements. Nature overcomes this
obstacle by storing available nutrients in the soil through long periods of virginity during which forests or grasses occupy the land. In
such a period each plant generation returns to the soil the foods it
took from the soil.
Man introduced a new order ot
events by removing from the soil
the crops g_rown _and fattening himself and his ammals on the food

ID you ever hear of a
"cerealia?" No, it's not a
breakfast food. It's the festival
that the ancient Romans staged
every year L-1. honor of Ceres, Goddess of the Grains. You can have
a cerea1ia of your own; a Cookie
Cerealia, for when it comes to
turning out those batches of cookies, there's nothing that adds so
much taste and variety at such a
low cost as the well-k nown morning cer·eal.
Nice part about making cereal
cookies is that the cereal is already cooked and tested in the
manufactw·er's ovens. All you
need do is mix it in according to
directions. But nicer still are the
gorgeous-tasting delicacies that
you can produce from just ordinary, every-day corn flakes and
the like. Sort of a change from
the old stand-bys, the sand-tarts
and ginger snaps.
Even the names of these cookies
sound' good: Bran Butterscotch
Cookies, New Zealand Corn Flake
Kisses, Mincemeat Hermits, Peppies, and Peanut Butter Macaroans. Happily, none of these call
for expensive ingredients.

Scientists at the Cornell university
agricultural experiment station are
"pasteurizing" soils with electricity
to rid these soils of insect pests
and weed seeds.
Soils that have become unproductive are thus made productive, as
heat disinfests or disinfects the soil.
Many growers of flowers and vegetables who do not have equipment
to steam-"sterilize" find that limited quantities of soil can be "pasteurized" with electrical devices, according to Prof. A. G . Newhall.
A soil temperature of 150 degrees
Fahrenheit was found high enough
to insure the death of all important disease organisms and most
weed seeds.
Soil in greenhouse benches and
ground beds was brought up to pasteurization temperature with a
series of buried portable pipe-type
heaters. Successful use was also
made of an electric dairy-utensil
steamer to pasteurize soil in fiats
or trays.
Danger from over-heating soil is
reduced to a minimum by the new
low temperature electric pasteurization methods.

Value of Silage
A simple rule and one that works
out pretty well is to consider silage
worth one-halt the value of good
legume hay. Silage that runs 10
tons to the acre must make about 50
bushels, therefore 1 ton of silage
should be worth 5 bushels of corn
plus 300 pounds of hay. With corn
at 75 cents a bushel and hay at $15
a ton, good silage would be worth
about $6 a ton.

Let Them Work
Farmer McTavish fell in a well
where the water was seven feet
deep, and cold. His wife, who had
seen him fall in, called down to
him: "I'll ring the dinner bell so
the boys will come and pull you up."
"What time is it?" McTavish
yelled back.
" 'Bout half-past ten."
"No, dang it, let 'em work till
dinner time. I'll swim around until
they arrive."

Hay crop seed production is about
10 per cent above any recent year
except 1938 and 1939.

• • •
The number of farms served by
electric light and power companies
in the United States increased 98 per
cent during the years 1932 to 1938,
from about 710,000 to more than
1,400,000 farms.

Actions speak louder than words.
What a man says is impor tant, but
it is his life which determines whether we accept his words as true. In
spiritual things men have too often
professed to follow Christ but failed
to do His will. It is the business
of the church to press home the
necessity of an acceptance of Christ
as Saviour which also makes Him
the Lord of our life.
I. Pious Words (v. 15).
We do not know whether the man
who said, "Blessed is he that eateth
bread in the kingdom of God," was
expressing the sincere longing of his
heart or merely making a bit of
pious conversation. Jesus had just
been dealing with some rather disconcerting matters (vv. 1-14). On
such occasions there is usually
someone on hand to spoil the effectiveness of the admonition by uttering some religious platitude which
will direct conversation into more
comfortable channels.
Even though the man was sincere,
he had evidently not made any prep.
arations to be present at that great
feast. This appe~rs from the story
Jesus related ii:. response to his
words.
II. Poor Excu~es (vv. 16-20).
It is not enough that we know
that God has prepared a place of
blessedness, nor does it suffice to
speak approvingly of God's invitation to come; we must accept. Uod
graciously bids all men to come; but
all too many, while willing to admit
the desirability of corning and admiring it as the ideal thing to do,
begin to make excuses.
Observe that the men gave excuses, not reasons. There is a great
difference. Note also that the excuses were poor ones. One had a
new possession-a field-which he
"must go out and see." The second
had a business matter to care fortrying out oxen he had bought. The
third had a personal affection he
wanted to foster-a new wife whom
he could not leave.
The fact is that none of them
wanted to come, and these were but
excuses. What man buys a field
without seeing it, or oxen without
trying them? And we agree with
Dr. Morgan that the one who had
married a wife "was the most foolish of all. Why didn't he take her
with him? Just excuses." Reader,
what excuse is keeping you from
accepting God's invitation?
III. Urgent Invitations (vv. 21-24).
Those who reject God's invitation
hurt only themselves, for He will
find guests to fill the banquet hall
at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Let us not fail to observe that it
is the duty of the Lord's servants
(and that means every born-again
Christian) to be diligently about the
business of urging men to respond
to God's call. Let us beware that
we do not miss that point by uttering some pious platitudes about soulwinning, and then failing to do anything to reach others.
It is the first business of every
Christian who reads t);}ese lines to
be engaged in personal soul-winning .
If you want to do it and do not know
how to start, I shall be glad to send
you free, a copy of ' 'Lessons in SoulWinning," by Dr. Will H. Houghton.
The important matter is that we get
busy giving out these urgent invitations.
It is the first business of the unconverted to accept that invitation.
D~:~re you refuse? In one of his last
rn~etings in Kansas City, Dwight L.
M&lt;Jody graphically portrayed the invitation referred to in our lesson.
In closing his message he pointed
to the wall of the auditorium and
seemed to be writing out a reply to
the invitation. He first wrote a note
dedining, the final words being, "i
pray thee have me excused." He
said, "Would you sign that, young
man? Would you, mother? Would
you come up to the reporter's table,
take a pen and put your name down
to such an excuse? I doubt if there
is one here who would sign it. It
is a loving God inviting you to a
feast and God is not to be mocked.
Go play with the forked lightning,
go trifle with pestilence and disease
but trifle not with God."
'
Must Have His Spirit
A young Italian boy knocked one
day at the door of an artist's studio
in Rome, and when it was opened
exclai~ed:
"Please, madam, will
you gtve me the master's brush?"
The painter was dead, and the boy,
inflamed with a longing to be an
artist, wished for the great maste r's
brush. The lady placed tt,e brush
in the boy's hands, saying: "This
is his brush; try it, my boy." With
a flush of earnestness on his face he
tried, but found he could paint no
better than with his own. The lady
then said to him: "You cannot paint
like the great master unless you
have his spirit." So it is with us in
the Church today; if Christians have
not the Master's spirit they cannot
successfully carry on the Master's
work.-F. M. To•NIJley.

Immortal Character

jjJ

Think of human life· in terms of
eternity. Realize that what you
are today in process of becoming
determines your character forever. Because you learn to love
and to trust God through the shadows, you will be able to rejoice in
His support and guidance in the
sunshine. Strive to do your duty
well when days are dark and you
will develop capacity for joyous
service when your heart sings
again. Indeed, earnest endeavor
discovers sunshine amid the shadows.-Frederick G. Budlong.

QNE special beauty of this design (No. 8836) is that you can
make it up in household cottons dru(lstore,.
for horne wear, cutting the sleeves
off short, and in spun rayon or
thin wool for runabout, cutting the
sleeves long! And it's so easy to
make that you're certain to repeat
it many times.
Belted only in the back, with
lengthening bodice panels that accent height, thus making you look
slimmer, and gathers beneath the
yoke portions, this dress is cleverly detailed to give exactly the effect that women's sizes require.

public by describing exactly the products that are oft"ered. It
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits of advertising are quite apart· from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers-the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.

you run across out
this way are the following:
1. How or where can they dig up
a horse which can prevent Challedon
from cracking Seabiscuit's all-time

shoot at?
2. Will there be truer racing form
in the wake of the recent jockey
scandal when so many alert riders
were located in the pay of crooked
gamblers, who had no trouble picking winners in advance?
This latter system gives the picker, on the inside, a great chance for
a mop-up. The main idea is that he
can't miss, which is at least financially sound. So those who are on
the outside, meaning only 99 per
cent, who were badly stung, are now
waiting to see what will hllppen.
Which means that beaten favorites, even those beaten on the
straight level, will be regarded with
deep suspicion unless the normal
average above 35 per cent is maintained.
Around the East this favorite
average was dropping down to
something like 25 per cent or lessor the size of your hat. Don't think
the East was any too pure.

WASHINGTON. - Rough -hewn
seems to be the word I'm after.
I sat in the office of the secretary
of agriculture, a big empty-looking
room, and thought of a new axe biting into a Jog. Chips were flying.
Then, there was the cut, clean and
fresh. Then another. And another.
Not smooth, machine edge, such as
a new saw makes with the regular
lines the teeth leave across the surface. But a good straight job, the
mark of each blow, surely placed,
across the grain, clear through.
That's what I was thinking about
as I talked with Claude Wickard,
the big round-faced, homely fellow,
a little awkward behind the mahogany desk but not awkward, I felt
sure, standing up in a farm wagon,
1 eins in his hands, confident and solId, his feet apart as the wheels
bumped over the field.
Not so much at home but sure of
what he was after behind the desk,
the way he was that night when he
called the meeting in the little Indiana schoolhouse, a kerosene lamp
that hadn't been cleaned for a long
time sputtering beside him, 14 or 20
farmers sitting in front of him as he
organized the first Farm Bureau
meeting in his community-the first
one he ever attended, too.
COMES TO WASHINGTON
That scene, as he described it,
stuck in my mind because it seemed
to be the turning point in his career, or perhaps the first milestone
on the road that at last took him
reluctantly away from the acres that
had been in the Wickard family
since the 1840s and brought him

CLAUDE WICKARD
Rough-hewn is the word.
down to Washington-into the government where he has been trying to
put into practice the ideas he
thought would be good for other
farmers and other acres from Maine
to California.
Claude Wickard first came to the
capital in 1933 to become assistant
and later chief of the corn-hog section of the Triple-A. He was made
secretary of the department of agriculture last August when Secretary
Wallace resigned to run for vice
president. But his heart is still back
in Carrol county, Indiana, where his
71-year-old father and two men are
running his farm.
Corn and hogs were on Secretary
Wickard's mind when I talked to
him the other day, and it was corn
and hogs that brought him to Washington in the beginning by way of
Des Moines, Iowa, but it really goes
back further than that. The schoolhouse meeting, I spoke of, was the
milestone, but the day he told his
father he was going to college was
really the beginning. In those days
-and it isn't so long ago because
Wickard is only 47-a lot of farmers
thought that all a boy would get in
college was a lot of darn-fool ideas.
Only one of the Wickard's neighbors had been to college, but Purdue
university was only 30 miles away
and the idea percolated. Young
Claude went and when he was graduated (agricultural course, of course)
in 1915 he was ready to take over
the farm. Twelve years later the
Prairie Farmer named him as a
Master Farmer of Indiana. That
was the only thing he boasted about
in the half-hour conversation I bad
with him.

WINS STATE MEDALS
Soil building brought him state
medals later for success in increasing crop-yields and hog production.
It also got him a request from the
State Farm Bureau organization to
get busy and organize a unit in his
community. There wasn't any farm
organization in his county then. He
was supposed to go to the county
seat and learn how to do it but he
was too busy with his chores to get
away so he just called a meeting in
the schoolhouse and told his neighbors what he thought ought to be
done.
"I guess I sort of overstated what
we could do," he said to me as he
repeated the anecdote, "some of the
fellows asked me afterward where
all the reforms I talked about went
to." He smiled that wide smile of
his. Some of these ideas worked
out. And the Master Farmer, in
1932, was chosen by the three rural
counties that were his district to go
to the state senate. The next year
he was chosen Indiana delegate to
the National Corn Hog conference
at Des Moines. All this time the
farm was his chief preoccupation,
was then as it still is, his only
source of income besides his salary.
OFFERED POSITION
The conference had hardly started when A. G. Black, whose room
was on the same floor of the hotel as
Wickard's, buttonholed him. Black
was then head of the Corn Hog section of the Triple A. He wanted an
assistant and he wanted Wickard for
the job and wanted him right away.
It seemed a pretty important offer, but it also seemed impossible.
You can't lock up a farm like a city
flat and walk off with the key in
your pocket. But Black was persistent and after a mental and physical struggle, the Master Farmer
mastered the situation, and with
many a backward look set off for
Washington.
He managed to keep in pretty
close touch with Carrol County while
he was Corn Hog boss, but now it's
harder ~ecause a secretary of agriculture ~s kept very busy.

This Jockey Stuff
I can say this much. In Jerry

honest and just as able.
With sportsmen such as Carleton
Burke and others on the lookout,
Santa Anita has built up every
known precaution against cheating.
It will take an extra shrewd manipulator or an extra clever jockey to
open some new form of chiseling.
There is nearly always.chiser

They JUSt happen to be built along
those lines, in so many ways. It's
a vital part of the trade-like politics.
It so happens that racing has the
widest gap of all-the drop from such
sportsmen as Al Vanderbilt, Carleton Burke Charley Howard BiiJ Boeing and ~any others to jo~keys and
a few trainers who happened to
be lured by the fragrant odor ot
easy, it tainted, cash.
Racing is a thrilling sport. On the
average it carries far more thrills
for those who have $2 across or $10
on the nose, than any other sport.
It is no way to make any money.

Spain Needs Cotton
Receipts of raw cotton in Spain
during the three months beginning August 1, 1940, totaled about
50,000 bales all of which was Argentine cotton except for 2,100
bales of American, according to
information received in the office of foreign agricultural relations. These quantities represent
little more than half of normal
requirements for the three-month
period so that the shortage of raw
mater.a!s is still acute.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
HEN a woman writes
me that after so many
years of marriage three or ten or fifteen, she and
her husband have made the dismal discovery that they have
absolutely nothing in common,
that they are beginning to jar
terribly on each others nerves,
that without wishing each other
any ill, they can no longer live
together in anything but continual repression, discomfort
and utter futility, then I know
that she-or he, or both of them
-are exhibiting a lack of character and, common sense.
It is quite different when
serious matters are influencing either one. Intemperance,

W

cruelty, infidelity may be valid
grounds for the breaking up of
liomes and the separation of children, although in the last-mentioned
case I have always thought divorce
too high a price to pay for temporary weakness and vanity.
But when it is just a general lessening of affection, glamour, companionability, mutual satisfaction in
being together, it means that one
or the other has let go. Has stopped
the pleasantness that is friendship
in marriage, the eagerness to discuss plans, the readiness to forgive trifling mistakes, the old honeymoon anxiety to be generous and
considerate and loving.
Once these are lost, they are hard
to recapture. It can be done. But
the wiser way is never to lose them.
Husband's Position Parallels Child's.
That a husband is in much the
child's position is a simple truth
that many wives fail to grasp. Coldness, sharpness of voice, scolding,
indifference, putting the feelings or
the comfort of other persons firsther family, her old friends, herself
-begins the trouble. Then when his
affections wander, and when she
suddenly senses that she no longer
comes first with him, It avails her
very little to reproach him, to ask
1 pathetically how she has failed him.
She has kept his house and borne
his child and never been unfaithful
and given him the best years of her
life, she protests. What more did
Ae expect?
But if he is thoroughly alienated
by years of being just a bill-paying
boarder in his own house, with a
wife whose interests run entirely to
her own beauty, bridge lunches,
matinees with the girls, friends he
does not know or does not like, she
finds-as thousands of women find
every year, that the neat selfish little
scheme she has built up is a house of
cards and that she is being forced
to join the ranks of the d ivorced.
Dislike Divorce.
Most women hate the idea of
divorce. They suffer bitterly with
loneliness, once marriage is dis·
solved, and they suffer more when
they realize that a second marriage means life with another man
just as faulty as the first, and the
fearful problem of the children's loyalties and their happiness thrown in.
The moral of which is that it would
pay many a woman to check up on
her marriage now. It would pay her

"Because you happen to be Klondike Coburn's daughter. And I don't
relish the thought of working against
you. It's your father's claim they're
trying to swallow up on a clouded
title."
"But I'm not sure that claim was
ever established."
And it was equally obvious that
his right either to champion my
cause or control my destiny had
never been established. But, for
all that an absurd little robin of
happine~s stood up on the tip of
my heart and started to sing.
"We can't go into that now," Lander said as old Schlupp came in
with an armful of stovewood. And
Katie, a moment later, was announcing that you couldn't kill some children with a club. All this little
papoose needed, she called out to us,
was food.
"Then she ain't a-gain' to kick the
bucket?" questioned Sock-eye.
"Of course she isn't," said Katie.
"'But if I could lay hands on her fool
redskin father I'd have him drawn
and quartered."
The old fire-eater's face brightened up with a new eagerness.
"I'll do it for you, lady," he said
with a large and rounded oath. "Sam

"No," Katie said, "that's a luxury

be made an example of by due process of law. And if either of you
men will take Miss Coburn and the
baby back to Toklutna in the truck
I'll get help and push on to the
Happy Day and see that this baby
killer is put where he belongs."
Sidney Lander, who had been looking down at the blanket-wrapped papoose, lifted his head and caught
my eye.
"I'll take Miss Coburn through to
1:'oklutna," he quietly announced.
And I could feel my pulse skip a
beat, casual as I tried to appear
about it all.
It was Sock-Eye who crossed to
the door and looked out.
"There's sure a smell o' snow in
the air," he warned. "We'd best

"You're facing this like an oldtimer," he said.
"I used to go out on the trail
with my father," I reminded him.
"That's what I want to talk to
you about," he said. "Can you remember his camp on the Chakitana?"
"I was never there," I had to ad-

mit.
"Then it won't be easy to explain
what I want to," he went on. "Your
father had a real mine there. And
he must have known it."
"Of course he did," I said, recalling ghostly scraps of talk from my
childhood.
"Well, so does the Trumbull outfit," proclaimed my companion.
"The Chakitana Development Company always wanted a clean sweep
of that valley bottom. They even
sent me up there as field engineer
to find out how the land lay and
corral any territory needed to round
out their development work. It was
your father's claim which cut their
field in two and kept them from having full control."
"He always said he'd never sell
out," I explained.
"Of course he did," cried Lander.
"He may have been a lone-fire prospector, but he knew he held a key
position there .
And when they

which my companion said, "Good
work!" And I remembered the faded and dog-eared certificate, w:th
the photo attached, also slightly faded, showing my father looking young
and strong, in the pride of his early
manhood. I'd always treasured that
picture of him, the only one I po9
sessed.
"That means our battle's ha!l
won," proclaimed Lander.
"Why do you say our battle''' I
asked. Lander's face, as our gvwces
locked, hardened a little. Then he
laughed his curt laugh.
"Since I muddled into this thing,"
he said, "I'm going to be bullheaded
enough to see it through."
"But it's all so long ago," I objected. "And you can't wreck your
career championing lost causes."
"My career isn't wrecked. I'm
thinking of swinging in with the
Happy Day outfit, in fact, just beyond the Matanuska."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because then we won't be so far
apart," he said.
"You've been very kind to me," I
said.
"You're easy to be kind to," Lander retorted with a quiet intensity
that should have shifted my heart
action into high. But I had certain
things to remember.
"What does that mean?" I exacted.
He leaned a little closer under
the swaying lantern.
"It means I'm happier being with
you than with anyone who walks this
good green earth."
I was able to laugh a little. "It
isn't green," I reminded him. "And
you might also remember why you
so nearly missed the boat at Seattle?"
I could see his jaw muscles hard·

dim light from the lantern.

DEPLETED SOILS
NEED MINERALS
Plants Require Phosphorus,

Here's a Chans·e FronL Old Stand~Bys:
Cereal Coohics; So Tastv, LoH i ~ Cost

Man is separated from starvation
only by the frail fabric of the green
coloring matter in plants called
Chlorophyl. It is only the green
plant, energized by light, that can
combine the simple materials of nature, such as carbon dioxide of the
air, water, and mineral salts from
the soil into the complex substances
that serve as food for man and
beast.
The wants of. plants are comparatively few, but it behooves man to
supply them lest the plant factory
fail. Natural agencies, dependent
on life processes, maintain an adequate supply of carbon dioxide in
the air, and as long as the life cycle
persists, plants will not lack for this
building material. Water, too, is
supplied by a generous nature in
sufficient quantities to extensive
areas and by irrigation to many
acres more. But how about the
supply of mineral salts from the
soil? That is where the pinch comes
and gives man his opportunity to
play the good Samaritan.
Soil particles, largely rock fragments, decay slowly, setting free
the mineral nutrients needed by
plants. This decay process is slow,
entirely too slow to meet plant requirements. Nature overcomes this
obstacle by storing available nutrients in the soil through long periods of virginity during which forests or grasses occupy the land. In
such a period each plant generation returns to the soil the foods it
took from the soil.

ID you ever hear of a
"cerealia?" No, it's not a
breakfast food. It's the festival
that the ancient Romans staged
every year L-1. honor of Ceres, Goddess of the Grains. You can have
a cerea1ia of your own; a Cookie
Cerealia, for when it comes to
turning out those batches of cookies, there's nothing that adds so
much taste and variety at such a
low cost as the well-k nown morning cer·eal.
Nice part about making cereal
cookies is that the cereal is already cooked and tested in the
manufactw·er's ovens. All you
need do is mix it in according to
directions. But nicer still are the
gorgeous-tasting delicacies that
you can produce from just ordinary, every-day corn flakes and
the like. Sort of a change from
the old stand-bys, the sand-tarts
and ginger snaps.
Even the names of these cookies
sound' good: Bran Butterscotch
Cookies, New Zealand Corn Flake
Kisses, Mincemeat Hermits, Peppies, and Peanut Butter Macaroans. Happily, none of these call
for expensive ingredients.

Scientists at the Cornell university
agricultural experiment station are
"pasteurizing" soils with electricity
to rid these soils of insect pests
and weed seeds.
Soils that have become unproductive are thus made productive, as
heat disinfests or disinfects the soil.
Many growers of flowers and vegetables who do not have equipment
to steam-"sterilize" find that limited quantities of soil can be "pasteurized" with electrical devices, according to Prof. A. G . Newhall.
A soil temperature of 150 degrees
Fahrenheit was found high enough
to insure the death of all important disease organisms and most
weed seeds.
Soil in greenhouse benches and
ground beds was brought up to pasteurization temperature with a
series of buried portable pipe-type
heaters. Successful use was also
made of an electric dairy-utensil
steamer to pasteurize soil in fiats
or trays.
Danger from over-heating soil is
reduced to a minimum by the new
low temperature electric pasteurization methods.

Value of Silage
A simple rule and one that works
out pretty well is to consider silage
worth one-halt the value of good
legume hay. Silage that runs 10
tons to the acre must make about 50
bushels, therefore 1 ton of silage
should be worth 5 bushels of corn
plus 300 pounds of hay. With corn
at 75 cents a bushel and hay at $15
a ton, good silage would be worth
about $6 a ton.

him: "I'll ring the dinner bell so
the boys will come and pull you up."
"What time is it?" McTavish

"No, dang it, let 'em work till

Actions speak louder than words.
What a man says is impor tant, but
it is his life which determines whether we accept his words as true. In
spiritual things men have too often
professed to follow Christ but failed
to do His will. It is the business
of the church to press home the
necessity of an acceptance of Christ
as Saviour which also makes Him
the Lord of our life.
I. Pious Words (v. 15).
We do not know whether the man
who said, "Blessed is he that eateth
bread in the kingdom of God," was
expressing the sincere longing of his
heart or merely making a bit of
pious conversation. Jesus had just
been dealing with some rather disconcerting matters (vv. 1-14). On
such occasions there is usually
someone on hand to spoil the effectiveness of the admonition by uttering some religious platitude which
will direct conversation into more
comfortable channels.
Even though the man was sincere,
he had evidently not made any prep.
arations to be present at that great
feast. This appe~rs from the story
Jesus related ii:. response to his
words.
II. Poor Excu~es (vv. 16-20).
It is not enough that we know
that God has prepared a place of
blessedness, nor does it suffice to
speak approvingly of God's invitation to come; we must accept. Uod
graciously bids all men to come; but
all too many, while willing to admit
the desirability of corning and admiring it as the ideal thing to do,
begin to make excuses.
Observe that the men gave excuses, not reasons. There is a great
difference. Note also that the excuses were poor ones. One had a
new possession-a field-which he
"must go out and see." The second
had a business matter to care fortrying out oxen he had bought. The
third had a personal affection he
wanted to foster-a new wife whom
he could not leave.
The fact is that none of them
wanted to come, and these were but
excuses. What man buys a field
without seeing it, or oxen without
trying them? And we agree with
Dr. Morgan that the one who had
married a wife "was the most foolish of all. Why didn't he take her
with him? Just excuses." Reader,
what excuse is keeping you from
accepting God's invitation?
III. Urgent Invitations (vv. 21-24).
Those who reject God's invitation
hurt only themselves, for He will
find guests to fill the banquet hall
at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Let us not fail to observe that it
is the duty of the Lord's servants
(and that means every born-again
Christian) to be diligently about the
business of urging men to respond
to God's call. Let us beware that
we do not miss that point by uttering some pious platitudes about soulwinning, and then failing to do anything to reach others.
It is the first business of every
Christian who reads t);}ese lines to
be engaged in personal soul-winning .
If you want to do it and do not know
how to start, I shall be glad to send
you free, a copy of ' 'Lessons in SoulWinning," by Dr. Will H. Houghton.
The important matter is that we get
busy giving out these urgent invitations.
It is the first business of the unconverted to accept that invitation.
D~:~re you refuse? In one of his last
rn~etings in Kansas City, Dwight L.
M&lt;Jody graphically portrayed the invitation referred to in our lesson.
In closing his message he pointed
to the wall of the auditorium and
seemed to be writing out a reply to
the invitation. He first wrote a note
dedining, the final words being, "i
pray thee have me excused." He
said, "Would you sign that, young
man? Would you, mother? Would
you come up to the reporter's table,
take a pen and put your name down
to such an excuse? I doubt if there
is one here who would sign it. It
is a loving God inviting you to a
feast and God is not to be mocked.
Go play with the forked lightning,
go trifle with pestilence and disease
but trifle not with God."
'
Must Have His Spirit
A young Italian boy knocked one
day at the door of an artist's studio
in Rome, and when it was opened
exclai~ed:
"Please, madam, will
you gtve me the master's brush?"
The painter was dead, and the boy,
inflamed with a longing to be an
artist, wished for the great maste r's
brush. The lady placed tt,e brush
in the boy's hands, saying: "This
is his brush; try it, my boy." With
a flush of earnestness on his face he
tried, but found he could paint no
better than with his own. The lady
then said to him: "You cannot paint
like the great master unless you
have his spirit." So it is with us in
the Church today; if Christians have
not the Master's spirit they cannot
successfully carry on the Master's
work.-F. M. To•NIJley.

Immortal Character

jjJ

Think of human life· in terms of
eternity. Realize that what you
are today in process of becoming
determines your character forever. Because you learn to love
and to trust God through the shadows, you will be able to rejoice in
His support and guidance in the
sunshine. Strive to do your duty
well when days are dark and you
will develop capacity for joyous
service when your heart sings
again. Indeed, earnest endeavor
discovers sunshine amid the shadows.-Frederick G. Budlong.

On September 8, 1934, eight
years ago, Richard Reeves AIJen,
then only nineteen years old,
decided to enter the Navy. That
enlistment started a family tradition, now in 1942 all of the

Mr. and Mrs. Grover Allen are

While Mr. McNutt's man-power
commission.is considering the draft
of a new bill for mobilizing the
workers and the students and even
the employers of the nation, the
farmer is scratching his chin and
wondering just where he will fit into
the picture.
Farm laborers, of course, will
be registered along with the
rest, but will that cure the farmer's headaches?
Today the farm labor problem is
full of superlatives and paradoxes.

increased-there \Yere 12,009,000 as
of July 1. This seeming paradox
merely means that more members
of the farmer's family are working,
more women, high school boys and
girls and many older men who had
retired. Older men who did a few
hours light work a day, mending
fences and odd jobs, are now workin~ full time.
&lt;:Jf course the shortage of farm Iabar is due to the fact that the war
&lt;&gt;.nd the war industries have absorbed so many people. And this
competition has skyrocketed farm
wages. They are the highest in 22
years. They are 42 per cent above
the wages of a year ago. The average day wage rate is the highest
since 1920. It is $2.45 and ranges
all the way from $1.15 paid in South
Carolina to $4.85 paid in the state
of Washington. You can get some
idea why the farmers are fighting
for parity prices when you learn
that the ratio of prices received to
wage rates is 75 (the figure 100

was an argument against war and
high prices in general.
Well, there is the farmer's
problem: although he pays almost double what he paid in the
good old parity years 1910-1914,
he still can get only 58 per cent
of the labor he needs.

I But the farmer has peculiar diffi1 culties.
He may n eed a lot of help
for say two days putting up his hay,
and then things are pretty slack until the wheat comes along. Either
he will have to provide for the support of the extra help between
times, or depend on the "Oakies,"
the migrant labor whose trials and
tribulations we've heard so much
about. An example of this came up
recently when it was suggested that
Mexican labor be brought into this
country. That is a problem in the

zation of labor is not of much help
to the farmer is because the farm
labor problem is lngely a local
one. In normal times the farmer
usually knows the man he wants and
can call him up on the telephone
and be pretty sure he will come for
the few days he will be needed at
the peak season. Many of these
men now, of course, are off working
in an armament factory, or have
been drafted.
In the totalitarian countries the
authorities just take anybody they
want by the scruff of the neck and
send him off anywhere they want
him to go.

foods because of the quality of its
protein (ranking with meat, eggs and
fish), the value, abundance and
variety of its vitamins, and the en·
ergy which its fat and sugar yield.
The daily quota of milk can be
eaten through other forms than
fresh whole milk, as in cheese, milk
soups, or creamed dishes, but sub·
stitution of cheese for all of the daily
milk quota is not recommended. It
is better for adults to usc part milk
and part cheese.
The following are about equal in
the food values for which milk is
primarily important: 1 quart of
fluid whole milk; 17 ounces of evap·
orated milk, 1 quart of skim milk
plus llh ounces of butter; 5 ounces
of American (Cheddar) cheese; 4%
ounces of dried whole milk; and 3lh
ounces of dried skim milk plus 1lh
ounces of butter.

How One Youngster Began
Asking for Soap 'Issue'
Uncle Sam's facts and figures are
usually for grown-ups, but one moth·
er saw interest for her seven-year
old in a recent a.nnouncement. When
the navy stated that each year the
average gob buys 24 cakes of toilet
soap, she let her young hopeful fig.
ure out that most men in blue use
a cake o! soap every two weeks.
To this particular lad, sailors were
all heroes. So mother suggested
that she would "issue" soap to him,
and he could see i! he lived up to
navy standards. He was delighted,
and mother now reports that he
takes his baths most willingly and
comes regularly to table with hands
and face well washed.
Good habits are a matter of train·
ing. With this child, the navy ap·
peal worked. With another, it may
be the fact that a favorite baseball
hero takes a shower after every
game. Many a wise parent finds
that hero-worship brings quicker re·
suits and happier attitudes than sim·
ple requests or than nagging or
scolding.
Old Trade Center
In pre-Suez canal days, Alex·
andretta was a busy Mediterranean
outlet for the rich caravan tradJ
moving slowly overland from Per·
sia and India. Modern rail connec·
tions have put it in line for improvements designed to make the city an
increasingly useful doorway for fu.
ture Levant trade. Leading exports
from Alexandretta are normally cot·
ton, tobacco, licorice, fruits, live·
stock, silk cocoons, and textiles. All
trade routes in this part of the
world follow paths made famous by
legend and history since men first
pushed their boats from shore. In
and near the isle-spattered Aegean,
such map names as Troy and Helle·
spont, the "Enchanted Cyclades,"
Lesbos, and Samothrake call to
mind the real and mythical figures
of Homer and the Argonauts, Sap·
pho, Helen of Troy and the Trojan
Horse, Apollo, the lovers Leander
and Hero, and the conquerors Xer·
xes, Alexander, and Darius.
Horses Need Worm Treatment
There are still more than 10 mil· ,
lion horses and 4 million m.ules in
the United States ahd, all together,
they are worth well over a billion
dollars. Scientists say it is excep·
tiona] to find a horse entirely free
from redworms which destroy in·
testinal tissues, remove blood and
cut off the blood supply, form cysts,
1
and block the intestines.
Farm horses are even more heavi·
ly infested than town horses. To re·
move and destroy these worms, Du
Pont chemists advise ~at recom·
mended dosages of phenothiazine
should be administered, preferabl)
by a veterinarian. To kill the para·
sites in the droppings, before they
enter the horse, about 15 or H
pounds of synthetic urea per ton oJ
feces will do the trick. However.
since urea and other forms of nitro:
gen which give control outside thE
animal are scarce, proper handlin~
and disposal of manure is even more
important than ever.
Pass the Shears !
An essential man in his commu·
nity is Pvt. Harold Bracken, of Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. Recently he en·
listed in Uncle Sam's army. When
he arrived at the Fort Leavenworth
Reception Center, he was surprised
to learn that he was immediately
to return home on furlough. SN·m5
that his employer had presented
army officials with an amdavit at·

It's a Good Morning With Flapjacks in Syrup!
(See Recipes Below.&gt;

Breakfast 'l'ime
Whether you wake to the crowing
of. the rooster or the jingle of an
alarm clock, it's
a signal to be up
and about seeing
to the day's work.
B t.: t first! A
hearty breakfast
is in order so that
the system can
get started on its
day's routine in
the proper form.
No matter whether it's for the
head of the family going off to
the defense plant,
daughter on her
way to the nurses' aid elas~;, mother or the youngsters, no one should
skip blithely over this meal of the
day.
For years doctors and dieticians
have looked askance at those who
passed up a real up-and-a:-them
breakfast because it doesn't give
the body a chance to start functioning early in the day. If you're
fat, you nead fruit-egg-toast-andbeverage breakfasts to start your
metabolism working at top speed to
start tearing down of excess tissur..s.
II you'rf' thin, th~ y ~eed."just
as much of a breakfast with a few
more trimmings, to start building
yourself. If you're normal, you still
need the hearty breakfast so you
can maintain your health and give
, your body its daily nutritional requirements. And one of the best
recommendations for a real breakfast is the good way it starts you
on your day's work. None of that
drowsy, it' s-hard-to-wake-up-in-themarRing feeling. No, Ma'am!
Hardest thing about breakfasts is
that it's easy to get into a rut by
serving the same
foods morning after morning. This
is rather strange,
considering how
much time and
effort is spent on
getting variety
into the other two-squares a day.
Well, why not variety for brea.J:-.fast?
You can have this variety in fruit.
Yes, I know you like juice pretty
well, but you'll get out of the morning doldrums quickly enough if you
punctuate the breakfast with favorite fruits-in-season, other fruit juices
and some of those canned fruits you
put up during the summei' months.
~ Toast? If you insist on toast, try
using whole wheat, rye, raisin,
.cracked wheat, etc. Naturally, the
•bread should be enrich'ed so you'll
:get the most out of toast. And then
there are all r;orts of hot breads
·that will send the family cheering
off to work-blueberry muffins, pecan rolls, muffins, and flapjacks!
Eggs in all manner of ways are
a good standby. Poached, fried, coddied, baked, scrambled, a la goldenrod, or combined with bam, sizzlin'

Lynn Says:
Tips for Breakfast Fruits:
You're going to be a little short
on sugar so do the most with
what you have. A little salt in
cooked fruit or sprinkled on such
things as melons brings out true
fruit flavor, requires less sugar.
Lemon or lime juice with melon enhances the natural sweetness. Try it.
Orange juice, chilled before the
fruit is squeezed, is an excellent
pep-you-up. Let the sugar stand
on grapefruit a while (whil2 the
coffee percolates) and the sugar
will melt and go fw·ther. Try
eating fruit or juice first, but saving half to finish off your breakfast-it will leave a fresh tast£
ic your mouth.
Fruit stewed should have sugar
added after it is stewed, with a
pinch of salt. You won't need
as much sweetening, this way.
Cook dried fruits with a slice
of lemon or orange. These citrus
fruits have an affinity with dried
apricots, peaches, prunes and apples.

black-on-black idea now so impor·
tant. A self-fabric sash ties softly

over a correctly fitted foundation
garment, this suavely fitted frock
has unusual grace and distinction.
Dressmaker tailoring distinguishes
the charming two-piece suit frock
to the left in the above illustration.
Designed for now and later in handsome black rayon faille, this model
features the slim long-torsoed silhouette accented by folds of the
fabric at chest and hips of the fitted
jacket top. The new "priority" suits
with close, fit'ted jackets and slim
skirts must be worn over carefully
fitted under garments to achieve the
smoothly streamlined effect so essential this season.
For the very chic afternoon dress

and molded along slim figure-revealing lines. A self-fabric spaghetti
trim makes soft little bows at the
flattering sweetheart neck and knots

Tremendous play is being made on
the working of bl~jck satin with dullsurfaced rayon crepe. Yokes, insets and bandings of the satin, as
well as big, soft bows, give pleasing variation to fall frocks of contrasting fabric.
Color contrast is another featured
theme. Designers are highlighting

Important Word
At all fashionable gatherings it
becomes increasingly apparent that
black is staging a triumphant comeback into the fashion picture. The
smartness and importance of black
is a;trikingly evidenced in the stunning new black satin gowns f-eatured
in a prologue to the fall season.
The new black frocks that make
slim silhouettes their theme are appearing everywhere in fashionable
gatherings. They look smartest
adorned with a single, important
piece of jewelry and with giddily
colorful long gloves and an enchanting hat to supply the prettily feminine touch.
Then there are the entrancingly
"pretty-pretty" black sheers, many
of which take on endearing pink or
pale blue accents. Black shantung
and black linen suits are declared
by many to be the smartest townwear costume of the season. For
dressy afternoon wear there's nothing in the way of a suit which outclasses those styled of black bengaline. Women are also expressing a
desire for simple daytime frocks
made of black rayon jersey.

An Old Favorite, the
Lace Blouse, Is Back

It is anticipating its advent a long
time ahead, but there is promise of
the return of the lace blouse to be
worn with jewel colored velvet suits
and, for that matter, with satin in
deep dark colors or black.

Everybody wants to know what
to send a soldier, sailor, Coast
Guardsman, or Marine. The answer is simple i:f he smokes a pipe
or rolls-his!own. Send a pound of
tobacco. Tobacco, according to
numerous surveys among the men
themselves, is the gift most ap.preciated, and most wanted. Favorite smoking tobacco of many
ser.vice men is Prince Albert, the
Natiqnal Joy Smoke-a title welldeserved since Prince Albert is
tbe world's largest-selling smoking tobacco. Local dealers are
featuring Prince Albert in the
pound can as ide~ gifts to men
in the service.-Adv.

My husband went away for several weelrs and during that time Douglas and I
became much too intimate. I had never before experienced such absorption in my
emotions.

YOU
determines she will not telephone;
she cannot wait to get her hands on
11 telephone .
She determines she
will not humiliate herself by writing
a letter, even as she is inscribing
her passionate words on a page . She
will not think about him, but she
hopes at every corner to meet him,
every man's coat or walk or eyes or
e;mile brings him back to her. She
will start a conversation, break it
off restlessly, determine to lie down
fer awhile just to dream of him and
spring up instantly like a person
blinded by sudden pain, to put on
her hat and go forth aimlessly to
haunt such places as he frequents.
A woman "in love" cannot eat
or sleep; she is helpless under the
neglect or cruelty of the man for
whom she is burning with desire,
because he is as much her whole
world as is the air she breathes and
1
she can do without the one no better
I than she can do without the other.
Unfortunately, to many of our
modern women, who are not bound
down by housework, child-bearing,
a generally moneyless and helpless
condition as their grandmothers
were, the experience of being "in
love" is one that comes after marriage. Engagement, marriage,
motherhood, and home-making seem
a tame affair beside it. Some man,
romantic, unknown, ready with sub1 tie flatteries-about 80 per cent of
being "in love" is mutual flatteries,
by the way-comes out of the blue,
and sensible little Nancy, who up to
this point has been everything a
sweet good daughter, wife, mother,
friend ought to be, is carried off her
· feet and washed out to sea.

I That she i~ living on whipped
cream and caviar and terrapin and
1
marrons glacees, and that she is going to have a good old-fashioned attack of nauseau and stomach-ache
1 after it, doesn't occur to Nancy. The
very fact that this particular fruit
is forbidden only adds to its flavor.
She knows, looking at similar affairs going on among her friends,
that after a few months the glamor1 ous Freddie will seem to her just
another shallow, simple, selfish, unreasonable man like so many of the
others.
DOUBLE INDEMNITY, TOO
But fever is upon her, her whole
body thrills and throbs with it, and
for a few months of passion she wru
sacrifice everything she has built
into her life and character.
Here is a letter characteristic of
many I receive, characteristic of a
situation that has meant wreckage
for a good many women's lives:

NO ANSWER
The "Alberta" of this letter
gave up her husband and children for a mnn whom she does
not now love, but with whom she
says she •o~!as once "in love" She
and "Douglas" found them elves
at the mercy of the stormy, unreasonctble passions that go with
the unhappy state of bein, "in
love." After that Alberta completely lost control of her reason·
able self. Douglas could not get
a divorce, but they went away IJJ.
gether anyway. Then, after a few
years, Douglas left her. Now Alberta has learn~d that her husband has been sent abroad with
the medical service. She says she
would do anything to regain her
lost happiness. You will want to
know why Kathleen Norris says
she has no answer to this letter.
sil~nt and busy man; I was kept
busy with the lighter housework, entertaining, garden, books, friends
and nursery. Every day had its
duties and problems, and its small
pleasures. Jim and I had plans for
every week-end, and a three-weeks
camping trip every summer. We
left the boys with his mother, but
were planning to take them with us
when they were older.
"This was the picture when I fell
in love with a man who had recently
come to the neighborhood. For one
year our friendship was confined to
secret meetings, wistful talks, and
the exchange of many notes. Then
Jim went away for some weeks,
and during that time Douglas and
I became much too intimate.
"I make no excuses for myself,
except to say that I had never in
my life before experienced such absorption in any emotion; it was
whirlwind, earthquake, tidal wave,
anything you like, as long as you
understand that I completely lost
command of myself.
Lover Was Married.
"Douglas was also married, but
childless, and living apart from the
wife. He applied for a divorce at
once, but settlements could not be
reached and there was a long delay.
I went to my father and stepmother, but was unhappy there, and
Douglas and I went to another town
and set up housekeeping together.
All this time I was intensely nervous; uncertain and wretched about
everything except the supreme reality of our love for each other.
"My little boys went to their
grandmother, and Jim never opposed my coming to see them, but
it was a stiff, unnatural sort of meeting and gave me more pain than
pleasure.
The smaller one was
quite ill and sometimes I went to
sit with him and read to him, but
he always wanted me to stay and
I could not stay. They were naturally never allowed to come to me.
"Rather than give his wife the
control she demanded of his fortune,
Douglas continued to refuse her
'divorce terms, and for two years
we wandered about in a Fools Paradise, telling each other that our love
in itself was all that mattered. But
it came to me gradually that he was
making no plans for our marriage,
snd about a year ago he suggested
my having a little apartment of
my own, as he was obliged to travel
a great deal on defense business.
Since we made this change I have
neither seen him nor heard from
him.

On September 8, 1934, eight
years ago, Richard Reeves AIJen,
then only nineteen years old,
decided to enter the Navy. That
enlistment started a family tradition, now in 1942 all of the
Allen boys are in the Navy.
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Allen are
the proud and honored parents
of this vicinity, and, of the
Navy, the records of the Aliens
in service is a high one. The
home address is 53 First St.
Richard is aboard the U. S. S.
Cuyama. Grover is aboard a sub·
marine named the Snapper.
George is aboard the U. i. s.

'fhe Hopkins fam1ly, Mr. and
Mrs. John Hopkins o( Burville
Road, are tied with t e William
Pauls of 46 East Ex\!bange St.,
each family having three sons in
the Army.
James Hopkins has been in
since November 22, 1939, Danny
is in the Marines. John. has only
recently been home on a furlough
and is awaiting his call to the
A1r Corps. being transferred
from the Military Police Unit.
Ervin, Everett and John Paul,
sons of Mr. and Mrs. William
Paul, are also helping Uncle Sam
in the Army.

According to some reliable information obtained from a bonafide source, we of this village
and township have a real right to
be proud, Illinois ranks at the
top of the heap for men in the
Service. and if not on top just a
shade away from the coveted
spot.
Maywood ranks first in the
State, Chicago Heights second;
and Crete third in the State ratio of men in service and population.
Therefore Crete is tops in Will
County and second only to Cook
County and only two towns of
that County.
Yes; and our fathers and
mothers and our men at home
and those boys. not yet men, are
ready, willing and will soon be
making that total reach new
heights.
We have and all of us should
praise the record of the three
familys afore mentioned, but
remember that every family does
not have three or four boys to
give. they have only one, maybe
none, they too are giving or
should be working towards vic·
tory. That boy less family might
contribute to the WAAC or some
other service .

While Mr. McNutt's man-power
commission.is considering the draft
of a new bill for mobilizing the
workers and the students and even
the employers of the nation, the
farmer is scratching his chin and
wondering just where he will fit into
the picture.
Farm laborers, of course, will
be registered along with the
rest, but will that cure the farmer's headaches?
Today the farm labor problem is
full of superlatives and paradoxes.
1
In the first place the unfulfilled de' mand for farm labor reported for

increased-there \Yere 12,009,000 as
of July 1. This seeming paradox
merely means that more members
of the farmer's family are working,
more women, high school boys and
girls and many older men who had
retired. Older men who did a few
hours light work a day, mending
fences and odd jobs, are now workin~ full time.
&lt;:Jf course the shortage of farm Iabar is due to the fact that the war
&lt;&gt;.nd the war industries have absorbed so many people. And this
competition has skyrocketed farm
wages. They are the highest in 22
years. They are 42 per cent above
the wages of a year ago. The average day wage rate is the highest
since 1920. It is $2.45 and ranges
all the way from $1.15 paid in South
Carolina to $4.85 paid in the state
of Washington. You can get some
idea why the farmers are fighting
for parity prices when you learn
that the ratio of prices received to
wage rates is 75 (the figure 100

bloc fight in congress to keep prices
up. He replied that he thought it
was an argument against war and
high prices in general.
Well, there is the farmer's
problem: although he pays almost double what he paid in the
good old parity years 1910-1914,
he still can get only 58 per cent
of the labor he needs.
Now comes the go...-ernment ready
to mobilize 60 million labor units.
That includes men, women and
folks, with the purpose

eventually of having the government

special job in the war effort for
I which
he is capable.
I But the farmer has peculiar diffi1 culties.
He may n eed a lot of help
for say two days putting up his hay,
and then things are pretty slack until the wheat comes along. Either
he will have to provide for the support of the extra help between
times, or depend on the "Oakies,"
the migrant labor whose trials and
tribulations we've heard so much
about. An example of this came up
recently when it was suggested that
Mexican labor be brought into this
country. That is a problem in the
• state department's bailiwick. It was

One reason why a general mobilibayonet technique here.
zation of labor is not of much help
to the farmer is because the farm
labor problem is lngely a local
one. In normal times the farmer
usually knows the man he wants and
can call him up on the telephone
and be pretty sure he will come for
the few days he will be needed at
the peak season. Many of these
men now, of course, are off working
in an armament factory, or have
been drafted.
In the totalitarian countries the
authorities just take anybody they
want by the scruff of the neck and
send him off anywhere they want
him to go.

Milk Quota Can Be Eaten
In Many Delicious Forms
Milk is a cheap food at any cost,
considering the food value it gives.
Grownups as well as children need
it; and from a pint to a quart a
day should be allowed for each
member of the family.
The fact that milk is the sole food
of the new-born infant and that it
continues to be a main influence in
his diet throughout childhood shows
its importance to growth. A young
child can get the material he needs
for building strong bones and teeth
only through milk.
Milk is rich in the minerals calcium and phosphorus. In addition,
whole milk has a high place among
foods because of the quality of its
protein (ranking with meat, eggs and
fish), the value, abundance and
variety of its vitamins, and the en·
ergy which its fat and sugar yield.
The daily quota of milk can be
eaten through other forms than
fresh whole milk, as in cheese, milk
soups, or creamed dishes, but sub·
stitution of cheese for all of the daily
milk quota is not recommended. It
is better for adults to usc part milk
and part cheese.
The following are about equal in
the food values for which milk is
primarily important: 1 quart of
fluid whole milk; 17 ounces of evap·
orated milk, 1 quart of skim milk
plus llh ounces of butter; 5 ounces
of American (Cheddar) cheese; 4%
ounces of dried whole milk; and 3lh
ounces of dried skim milk plus 1lh
ounces of butter.

How One Youngster Began
Asking for Soap 'Issue'
Uncle Sam's facts and figures are
usually for grown-ups, but one moth·
er saw interest for her seven-year
old in a recent a.nnouncement. When
the navy stated that each year the
average gob buys 24 cakes of toilet
soap, she let her young hopeful fig.
ure out that most men in blue use
a cake o! soap every two weeks.
To this particular lad, sailors were
all heroes. So mother suggested
that she would "issue" soap to him,
and he could see i! he lived up to
navy standards. He was delighted,
and mother now reports that he
takes his baths most willingly and
comes regularly to table with hands
and face well washed.
Good habits are a matter of train·
ing. With this child, the navy ap·
peal worked. With another, it may
be the fact that a favorite baseball
hero takes a shower after every
game. Many a wise parent finds
that hero-worship brings quicker re·
suits and happier attitudes than sim·
ple requests or than nagging or
scolding.
Old Trade Center
In pre-Suez canal days, Alex·
andretta was a busy Mediterranean
outlet for the rich caravan tradJ
moving slowly overland from Per·
sia and India. Modern rail connec·
tions have put it in line for improvements designed to make the city an
increasingly useful doorway for fu.
ture Levant trade. Leading exports
from Alexandretta are normally cot·
ton, tobacco, licorice, fruits, live·
stock, silk cocoons, and textiles. All
trade routes in this part of the
world follow paths made famous by
legend and history since men first
pushed their boats from shore. In
and near the isle-spattered Aegean,
such map names as Troy and Helle·
spont, the "Enchanted Cyclades,"
Lesbos, and Samothrake call to
mind the real and mythical figures
of Homer and the Argonauts, Sap·
pho, Helen of Troy and the Trojan
Horse, Apollo, the lovers Leander
and Hero, and the conquerors Xer·
xes, Alexander, and Darius.
Horses Need Worm Treatment
There are still more than 10 mil· ,
lion horses and 4 million m.ules in
the United States ahd, all together,
they are worth well over a billion
dollars. Scientists say it is excep·
tiona] to find a horse entirely free
from redworms which destroy in·
testinal tissues, remove blood and
cut off the blood supply, form cysts,
1
and block the intestines.
Farm horses are even more heavi·
ly infested than town horses. To re·
move and destroy these worms, Du
Pont chemists advise ~at recom·
mended dosages of phenothiazine
should be administered, preferabl)
by a veterinarian. To kill the para·
sites in the droppings, before they
enter the horse, about 15 or H
pounds of synthetic urea per ton oJ
feces will do the trick. However.
since urea and other forms of nitro:
gen which give control outside thE
animal are scarce, proper handlin~
and disposal of manure is even more
important than ever.
Pass the Shears !
An essential man in his commu·
nity is Pvt. Harold Bracken, of Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. Recently he en·
listed in Uncle Sam's army. When
he arrived at the Fort Leavenworth
Reception Center, he was surprised
to learn that he was immediately
to return home on furlough. SN·m5
that his employer had presented
army officials with an amdavit at·
testing the 22-year-old soldier's pe·
culiar talents and declaring that in·
convenience and loss to a large nw11

county, Missouri, would rE&gt;sult if he
were not granted a furlough . The

It's a Good Morning With Flapjacks in Syrup!
(See Recipes Below.&gt;

Breakfast 'l'ime
Whether you wake to the crowing
of. the rooster or the jingle of an
alarm clock, it's
a signal to be up
and about seeing
to the day's work.
B t.: t first! A
hearty breakfast
is in order so that
the system can
get started on its
day's routine in
the proper form.
No matter whether it's for the
head of the family going off to
the defense plant,
daughter on her
way to the nurses' aid elas~;, mother or the youngsters, no one should
skip blithely over this meal of the
day.
For years doctors and dieticians
have looked askance at those who
passed up a real up-and-a:-them
breakfast because it doesn't give
the body a chance to start functioning early in the day. If you're
fat, you nead fruit-egg-toast-andbeverage breakfasts to start your

II you'rf' thin, th~ y ~eed."just
as much of a breakfast with a few
more trimmings, to start building
yourself. If you're normal, you still
need the hearty breakfast so you
can maintain your health and give
, your body its daily nutritional requirements. And one of the best
recommendations for a real breakfast is the good way it starts you
on your day's work. None of that
drowsy, it' s-hard-to-wake-up-in-themarRing feeling. No, Ma'am!
Hardest thing about breakfasts is
that it's easy to get into a rut by
serving the same
foods morning after morning. This
is rather strange,
considering how
much time and
effort is spent on
getting variety
into the other two-squares a day.

You can have this variety in fruit.
Yes, I know you like juice pretty
well, but you'll get out of the morning doldrums quickly enough if you
punctuate the breakfast with favorite fruits-in-season, other fruit juices
and some of those canned fruits you
put up during the summei' months.

Lynn Says:
Tips for Breakfast Fruits:
You're going to be a little short
on sugar so do the most with
what you have. A little salt in
cooked fruit or sprinkled on such
things as melons brings out true
fruit flavor, requires less sugar.
Lemon or lime juice with melon enhances the natural sweetness. Try it.
Orange juice, chilled before the
fruit is squeezed, is an excellent
pep-you-up. Let the sugar stand
on grapefruit a while (whil2 the
coffee percolates) and the sugar
will melt and go fw·ther. Try
eating fruit or juice first, but saving half to finish off your breakfast-it will leave a fresh tast£
ic your mouth.
Fruit stewed should have sugar
added after it is stewed, with a
pinch of salt. You won't need
as much sweetening, this way.
Cook dried fruits with a slice
of lemon or orange. These citrus
fruits have an affinity with dried
apricots, peaches, prunes and apples.

Important Word
At all fashionable gatherings it
becomes increasingly apparent that
black is staging a triumphant comeback into the fashion picture. The
smartness and importance of black
is a;trikingly evidenced in the stunning new black satin gowns f-eatured
in a prologue to the fall season.
The new black frocks that make
slim silhouettes their theme are appearing everywhere in fashionable
gatherings. They look smartest
adorned with a single, important
piece of jewelry and with giddily
colorful long gloves and an enchanting hat to supply the prettily feminine touch.
Then there are the entrancingly
"pretty-pretty" black sheers, many
of which take on endearing pink or
pale blue accents. Black shantung
and black linen suits are declared
by many to be the smartest townwear costume of the season. For
dressy afternoon wear there's nothing in the way of a suit which outclasses those styled of black bengaline. Women are also expressing a
desire for simple daytime frocks
made of black rayon jersey.

An Old Favorite, the
Lace Blouse, Is Back

It is anticipating its advent a long
time ahead, but there is promise of
the return of the lace blouse to be
worn with jewel colored velvet suits
and, for that matter, with satin in
deep dark colors or black.

She determines she
will not humiliate herself by writing
a letter, even as she is inscribing
her passionate words on a page . She
will not think about him, but she
hopes at every corner to meet him,
every man's coat or walk or eyes or
e;mile brings him back to her. She
will start a conversation, break it
off restlessly, determine to lie down
fer awhile just to dream of him and
spring up instantly like a person
blinded by sudden pain, to put on
her hat and go forth aimlessly to
haunt such places as he frequents.
A woman "in love" cannot eat
or sleep; she is helpless under the
neglect or cruelty of the man for
whom she is burning with desire,
because he is as much her whole
world as is the air she breathes and
1
she can do without the one no better
I than she can do without the other.
Unfortunately, to many of our
modern women, who are not bound
down by housework, child-bearing,
a generally moneyless and helpless
condition as their grandmothers
were, the experience of being "in
love" is one that comes after marriage. Engagement, marriage,
motherhood, and home-making seem
a tame affair beside it. Some man,
romantic, unknown, ready with sub1 tie flatteries-about 80 per cent of
being "in love" is mutual flatteries,
by the way-comes out of the blue,

very fact that this particular fruit
is forbidden only adds to its flavor.
She knows, looking at similar affairs going on among her friends,
that after a few months the glamor1 ous Freddie will seem to her just
another shallow, simple, selfish, unreasonable man like so many of the
others.

The "Alberta" of this letter
gave up her husband and children for a mnn whom she does
not now love, but with whom she
says she •o~!as once "in love" She
and "Douglas" found them elves

sil~nt and busy man; I was kept
busy with the lighter housework, entertaining, garden, books, friends
and nursery. Every day had its
duties and problems, and its small
pleasures. Jim and I had plans for
every week-end, and a three-weeks
camping trip every summer. We
left the boys with his mother, but
were planning to take them with us
when they were older.
"This was the picture when I fell
in love with a man who had recently
come to the neighborhood. For one
year our friendship was confined to
secret meetings, wistful talks, and
the exchange of many notes. Then
Jim went away for some weeks,
and during that time Douglas and
I became much too intimate.
"I make no excuses for myself,
except to say that I had never in
my life before experienced such absorption in any emotion; it was
whirlwind, earthquake, tidal wave,
anything you like, as long as you
understand that I completely lost
command of myself.
Lover Was Married.
"Douglas was also married, but
childless, and living apart from the
wife. He applied for a divorce at
once, but settlements could not be
reached and there was a long delay.
I went to my father and stepmother, but was unhappy there, and
Douglas and I went to another town
and set up housekeeping together.
All this time I was intensely nervous; uncertain and wretched about
everything except the supreme reality of our love for each other.
"My little boys went to their
grandmother, and Jim never opposed my coming to see them, but
it was a stiff, unnatural sort of meeting and gave me more pain than
pleasure.
The smaller one was
quite ill and sometimes I went to
sit with him and read to him, but
he always wanted me to stay and
I could not stay. They were naturally never allowed to come to me.
"Rather than give his wife the
control she demanded of his fortune,
Douglas continued to refuse her
'divorce terms, and for two years
we wandered about in a Fools Paradise, telling each other that our love
in itself was all that mattered. But
it came to me gradually that he was
making no plans for our marriage,
snd about a year ago he suggested
my having a little apartment of
my own, as he was obliged to travel
a great deal on defense business.
Since we made this change I have
neither seen him nor heard from
him.

�THE RECORD, CRETE, ILk

By CLIFF LANGE
Released b;y Western Newspaper Union.

During the past year news of
the Allies battling the Axis, war
production, conscription, wageprice-labor control measures,
all have shoved many stories to
the back pages. Stories that
might have been "played up"
more if they happened during
peacetime. The following is a
quick summary of some of
those many news-shorts, and
human interest storia6.
JANUARY
Dr. Howard E. Wilson in an address in New York city said that
most Americans are guilty of "geographic illiteracy" and that Hitler's
successes were made possible because of his knowledge of the geography and economics of the nations
he intended taking under his "protection."
Later on two Boston, Mass.,
doctors, Herbert D. Adams and
Leo V. Hand reported that a
man, uperated on for a lung ailment, whose heart bad stopped
beating for 20 minutes, was
brought baclt to life and in good
condition. They had kept his
brain and the rest of the body
supplied with oxygen.
FEBRUARY
Many of you have seen in the movfes, or heard on the radio the personality known as the "Voice of Experience." He was Marion Sayle
Taylor. "Was" is the correct verb,
for he died February 1 at the age of
53, from a heart attack, in Hollywood.
In a middle of the month meeting, Dr. John W. Studebaker, U. S.
commissioner of education, told a
meeting of 1,500 educators in the
East that schools must modify their
course of studies. Schools should
add technical courses, stress health
education and Latin America.
Down in Puebla, Mexico, the Astrophysical congress was told that
the Milky Way system is 180 million billion miles from the sun. Scientists meeting at Columbia univer,;ity, New York, were told by Prof,
Roger Williams, University of Texas, that an abundant supply of vitamins promotes "intellectual keenness" and also are "capable of fostering morality."

AMERICAN RED CROSS
THE Junior Red Cross is the
American Red Cross in the
schools of the nation. It is also
the world's largest youth organization, with more than 14.000,000
members in the United States.
The principal duty of the Junior
Red Cross in war time is the making of comfort and recreational
articles for our service men everywhere. During the past year,
Junior Red Cross members made
more than 3,000,000 such articles,
such as games, recreation room
furniture and writing kits.
The Junior Red Cross has also
taken a very active part in the
making of many essential articles
for Civilian Defense organizations
throughout the nation. These items
included splints, stretchers, and
first aid cabinets.

BRASS BEDS, NO LONGER
POPULAR, CAN BE
MODERNIZED •

"Earn, buy, make, give," are the four
steps all Junior Red Cross members take
in raising and 11sing the money they get
in their national enrollment drive. They
must earn the money to buy the materials to make the articles to give ta the

er as popular as they used to be.
and are likely to "date" a room that
would otherwise be modern in effect.
One way to modernize them is to
cover the head and foot with slip
covers, preferably matching the curtains and upholstery. Another idea
is to make use of sheets of thin plywood cut to size and shape, and covered with quilted fabric. Some of
the large department stores have
something of this sort in stock. It
is usually possible to cut a high
head, although to many people, a
high head is an advantage for reading in bed. The metal on a brass
bed is usually so thin that it can
easily be cut with a hacksaw, or
even a triangular file. Strength and
stiffness is given by the rods within.
These also can be sawed off. A strip
of wood going from side to side can
be fitted without much difficulty, and
will supply any stiffness that may
have been lost through removing the
metal. In many designs the brass
pieces are held only by screwed
ornaments at the top. With these
removed, the rods within can be cut
off to any desired height. Paint or
enamel is an appropriate finish, and
no sign will be :left of the original
effect. The first step in this should
be to rub the metal with sandpaper
for the cleaning of the surface and
also to provide a "tooth" to which
the first coat can make a good bond.
All possible traces of grease can be
taken off by wiping with turpentine.
Watering the Furnace
Question: Water was heard coming down between the walls of my
flat, and in the basement I found
water dripping from all the pipes
leading from the hot air furnace to
the second floor apartment. On asking the tenant what she was doing,
she explained that she was po~ring
buckets of water into each register
to clean out the pipes, because of the
dust that was coming into them. By
doing this has she damaged the furnace and the pipes? As the pipes
are t~n. will they rust? Did the water
go intc the furnace?
Answer: That certainly was a
most improper way to attempt to
clean out the pipes. However, as
the system was warm, the water
that remained in the pipes would
quickly evaporate. Some might get
into the furnace, but it would be
only into the air jacket, and I should
think would quickly soak through
the floor and be absorbed.
Government Publications
Question: You have spoken of
Price List No. 72 of Government
Publications. Does this cover a!!
pamphlets put out by the govern·
ment?
Answer: No; it lists only those
covered by its title, "Publications ol
Interest to Suburbanites and Home
Owners." There are many more
price lists of publications, covering
history, geography, wild life, commerce, agriculture, and all of the
other subjects in which the various
government departments are interested. These can be had on request from the Superintendent o1
Documents, Washington, D. C., without charge.

Perhaps Dud Should Have
Impersonated Himself!
The dud actor walked proudly to
the center of the stage, beaming.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "I sincerely
trust that you will all enjoy r..···
performance.
For my opening
number I'd like to do an impersonation of that famous chap,
Rudy Vallee."
The orchestra swung into an introduction and the dud began to
croon. The audience soon grew
restless. And by the time the
song was over, boos were heard
froFf all parts of the theater.
T. performer looked around in
bewilderment.
"Gee," he mumbled.
"That

"Yes, I had a mortgage that

"I see. The effect has changed

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Hard-Fought Battle for Air Supremacy
Holds Key to Control of North Africa;
Italians Fret Over British Air Raids;
Gains in New Guinea Mark Pacific War

United States soldiers cross a stream in the Gona-Buna area of New
Guinea. The occupation of Gona by Allied forces, directe~ by Gener~l
MacArthur, left the Japanese pinned down in a narrow stnp of coast m
the Buna area, 12 miles soutb.

NORTH AFRICA:
Air Battle Grows

JAPDEFEAT:
In South Pacific

Cheering word of ever-increasing
Allied air strength in North Africa
came from London and the Morocco
radio as swarms of American and
British planes in Tunisia provided
cover for land operations.
Press reports tell of ground commanders telephoning for air coverage "as casually as calling for a
taxi."
Chief battleground for the opposing forces had been Tebourba, a
atrategic junction 20 miles west
of Tunisia and 35 miles south of
Bizerte. Here a series of rapid action tank battles took place, with the
key town changing hands as battle
fortunes shifted.
Continuing efforts were made to
extend and equip new airfields from
1~hich Allied planes could operate.
H.eports reaching the United States
!'tressed the importance of the many
American Commando transport
planes now available. They are de~cribed as 50 per cent faster than
the JU-52s and are capable of movtng jeeps, small field guns and up to
98 soldiers.
On the opposite side of Africa,
the British Eighth army was reported allowing Marshal Rommel's
army no rest in the El Agheila area.
The official communique spoke of
patrol and artillery action. British
military sources in London had
wan1ed that the "real" offensive
was not yet under way and that
when the Eighth army strikes, the
blows will leave no doubt as to its
atrength.

When Allied forces, directed by
General MacArthur, occupied the
Gona area of New Guinea, the Japs
lost the northern anchor of their
ever-diminishing beachhead in Papua, which already has been badly
sliced by veteran American and
Australian jungle fighters.
This new defeat left the Japs
hemmed in a narrow coastal strip
centering on the Buna area, 12 miles
to the south.
First announcement of the Gona
victory was made by Prime Minister
John Curtin, 1who gave the news as
he was conducting a review of the
war before the house of representatives in Canberra, Australia. His
announcement was made 16 days
after an Allied headquarters communique had announced the original Australian entry into Gona.
The Japs had landed at Gona on
July 22 and from that area launched
their invasion drive which took them
across the Owen Stanley mountain
range to within 32 miles of the Allied base at Port Moresby.

COMPLAINTS:
From Italy

"Why do the British bomb our
towns novt instead of German
towns? After all it was the Germans who bombed London."
That was one of the many complaints reported originating in Italy
during the past 30 days. Well-informe&lt;i diplomatic quarters have reported ever-growing discontent in Italy over the war. Mussolini's peoRUSSIA:

HIGHLIGHTS
WASHINGTON: Newspaper men
covering this wartime capital now
need about 40 press passes to get
them into the various buildings and
offices around the city. Up until
stricter measures were taken-to
guard against spies, saboteurs or
traitors-one pass, that admitting

NEW ORLEANS: Andrew J. Higgins, shipbuilder extraordinary, is
definitely going to build 1,200 cargo
planes for the U. S. army. Contract
for this number of aircraft was
signed some time ago and the planes
are to be built largely of non-critical
metals.
ALGIERS: U. S. doughboys in
Africa are now getting a weekly edition of their own newspaper, the
Stars and Stripes. This North African edition is the product of combined efforts of the London staff of
the Stars and Stripes in Britain and

LONDON:
Continuance of the
German reign of terror in Bohemia
and Moravia was charged by the
exiled Czech government, a spokesman for which said that 35 more
Czechs had been executed by the
Nazis. Twenty-nine men were shot
on one day for' allegedly possessing
arms and explosives and participating in anti-Nazi activities, the Czech
spokesman said. Six Czechs accused
of being ringleaders in a sabotage and
terror gang were executed in Prague.
In Jugoslavia one official report
said that guerrilla warriors had retaken almost half of that country.

Much interes t t hroughout the Unit·

theories advanced which often s eem
to have little ba sis in fact. Others
again have a highly legitimate t one.
One of the most r ecent explanations of such strategy, and one of
more plausible presentations of it
is that advanced by Prime Minister
John Curtin of Australia. In a current statement he declared that
President Roosevelt and Winston
Churchill decided even before the
fall of Singapore (February 15, 1942)
that the most necessary job was to
beat Hitler and then take after
Japan.
Thus the campaign in the South
Pacific 10nd on the Australian continent becomes one of a " holding"
action. He warned his countrymen
that they might have to endure
strong air and sea-borne attack
from the Japanese forces based on
the isla nd of Timor. He urged them
to further prepare them selves for
such action.
He pointed out that the closest
co-operation exists between the Australian government, General MaeArthur and Admiral Chester N imitz,
commander of the U. S. fleet in the
Pacific.

walked back through the store. Rolling over&lt; to the opposite edge of the
doorway, near the counter. Morgan
heard Kern Case's fat weight groarup at a back set of stairs and
across the second floor. From hi!
new position Morgan saw a Three
Pines hand lead four horses into ar
alley. At the moment there was nc
firing; but, watching the Ye!loVI
Front, Morgan caught a flutter 01
light on its windows and stared
steadily at it, not immediately understanding the source of that flash.
Kern Case had reached an upstairs window and now waited for
his chance. Somebody ran along
the back of the store and came
through a rear door. Morgan rolled
against the base of the counter,
listening to those quick steps advance. He heard Hack Breathitt's
voice murmur: "You there, Kern?"
Mor~an said: "How you like our
little party. kid?"
"Clay? Whut the hell you doin'
here?"
Kern Case came down the stairs
with a fat man's slow haste. He
said: "We got to get out of here,
Clay."
"Sure," said Hack. "We depart
from hence, mig hty damned hence."
"You all right. Clay?" said Case.
That drew Breathitt's interest.
"Why wouldn't he be all right?"
"I tripped on a rug," said Mor~an. H e fo 11 owe d C ase an d Brea th·

sigh. "Well. it was a good store.
I'm goin' back to get the rocker my
mother used ."
Light broke th e shadows. He saw
Hack's face set in its restless halfsmile and realized his partner found
a malicious satisfaction in this
chase. That was Breathitt's way .
He had a wild kink in him and he
was tough enough to run his luck out
to the bitter end. Hack murmured:
"Later . maybe."
Morga n said, "Get out of ,hi;;

resolutions, just
keep the important ones, and
you'll be doing
your part in the way you can bestand that's the best job, you, Mrs.
America, are qualified to do.
Plan every meal so carefully that
you will make use of every bit of
food you have. That means doing
the most by your leftovers and fittmg them into your meal program.
Economy is the watchword-elaborate foo)i is out for the duration. Vitamins, minerals and proteins are
your cue to balanced meals.
By way of initiating this program
you will note that even the New
Year buffet suppl!r I've planned fits
into the guide outlined above: the
chicken may be leftover from your
holiday dinner as may be your spinach and beets for vegetable and
salad.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD, CRETE, ILk

By CLIFF LANGE
Released b;y Western Newspaper Union.

During the past year news of
the Allies battling the Axis, war
production, conscription, wageprice-labor control measures,
all have shoved many stories to
the back pages. Stories that
might have been "played up"
more if they happened during
peacetime. The following is a
quick summary of some of
those many news-shorts, and
human interest storia6.
JANUARY
Dr. Howard E. Wilson in an address in New York city said that
most Americans are guilty of "geographic illiteracy" and that Hitler's
successes were made possible because of his knowledge of the geography and economics of the nations
he intended taking under his "protection."
Later on two Boston, Mass.,
doctors, Herbert D. Adams and
Leo V. Hand reported that a
man, uperated on for a lung ailment, whose heart bad stopped
beating for 20 minutes, was
brought baclt to life and in good
condition. They had kept his
brain and the rest of the body
supplied with oxygen.
FEBRUARY
Many of you have seen in the movfes, or heard on the radio the personality known as the "Voice of Experience." He was Marion Sayle
Taylor. "Was" is the correct verb,
for he died February 1 at the age of
53, from a heart attack, in Hollywood.
In a middle of the month meeting, Dr. John W. Studebaker, U. S.
commissioner of education, told a
meeting of 1,500 educators in the
East that schools must modify their
course of studies. Schools should
add technical courses, stress health
education and Latin America.
Down in Puebla, Mexico, the Astrophysical congress was told that
the Milky Way system is 180 million billion miles from the sun. Scientists meeting at Columbia univer,;ity, New York, were told by Prof,
Roger Williams, University of Texas, that an abundant supply of vitamins promotes "intellectual keenness" and also are "capable of fostering morality."

of the fire-engines and automobiles
for runabout sports for the nation's
young men, miniature M-3s and

being suggested for gift-seeking parents.
Every conceivable mobile unit of
Uncle Sam's armed forces is being
duplicated in the offerings found
among the thousands of toys in this
department. Junior will even be
able to tour his neighborhood in a
carriage mounting an anti-aircraft
gun.
Typical of American ingenuity at
work to find substitutes for metal

parts for little sister's doll carriage.

finished high school.

schools deciding to close in 1943.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
THE Junior Red Cross is the
American Red Cross in the
schools of the nation. It is also
the world's largest youth organization, with more than 14.000,000
members in the United States.
The principal duty of the Junior
Red Cross in war time is the making of comfort and recreational
articles for our service men everywhere. During the past year,
Junior Red Cross members made
more than 3,000,000 such articles,
such as games, recreation room
furniture and writing kits.
The Junior Red Cross has also
taken a very active part in the
making of many essential articles
for Civilian Defense organizations
throughout the nation. These items
included splints, stretchers, and
first aid cabinets.

BRASS BEDS, NO LONGER
POPULAR, CAN BE
MODERNIZED •

"Earn, buy, make, give," are the four
steps all Junior Red Cross members take
in raising and 11sing the money they get
in their national enrollment drive. They
must earn the money to buy the materials to make the articles to give ta the
hospital, army camp or Civilian Defense
organization.

and metal beds are no longBRASS
er as popular as they used to be.
and are likely to "date" a room that
would otherwise be modern in effect.
One way to modernize them is to
cover the head and foot with slip
covers, preferably matching the curtains and upholstery. Another idea
is to make use of sheets of thin plywood cut to size and shape, and covered with quilted fabric. Some of
the large department stores have
something of this sort in stock. It
is usually possible to cut a high
head, although to many people, a
high head is an advantage for reading in bed. The metal on a brass
bed is usually so thin that it can
easily be cut with a hacksaw, or
even a triangular file. Strength and
stiffness is given by the rods within.
These also can be sawed off. A strip
of wood going from side to side can
be fitted without much difficulty, and
will supply any stiffness that may
have been lost through removing the
metal. In many designs the brass
pieces are held only by screwed
ornaments at the top. With these
removed, the rods within can be cut
off to any desired height. Paint or
enamel is an appropriate finish, and
no sign will be :left of the original
effect. The first step in this should
be to rub the metal with sandpaper
for the cleaning of the surface and
also to provide a "tooth" to which
the first coat can make a good bond.
All possible traces of grease can be
taken off by wiping with turpentine.
Watering the Furnace
Question: Water was heard coming down between the walls of my
flat, and in the basement I found
water dripping from all the pipes
leading from the hot air furnace to
the second floor apartment. On asking the tenant what she was doing,
she explained that she was po~ring
buckets of water into each register
to clean out the pipes, because of the
dust that was coming into them. By
doing this has she damaged the furnace and the pipes? As the pipes
are t~n. will they rust? Did the water
go intc the furnace?
Answer: That certainly was a
most improper way to attempt to
clean out the pipes. However, as
the system was warm, the water
that remained in the pipes would
quickly evaporate. Some might get
into the furnace, but it would be
only into the air jacket, and I should
think would quickly soak through
the floor and be absorbed.
Government Publications
Question: You have spoken of
Price List No. 72 of Government
Publications. Does this cover a!!
pamphlets put out by the govern·
ment?
Answer: No; it lists only those
covered by its title, "Publications ol
Interest to Suburbanites and Home
Owners." There are many more
price lists of publications, covering
history, geography, wild life, commerce, agriculture, and all of the
other subjects in which the various
government departments are interested. These can be had on request from the Superintendent o1
Documents, Washington, D. C., without charge.

Junior Red Cross members have
also been very active in salvage
campaigns of all kinds throughout
the nation, contributing more than
half of the salvage gathered by
children of school age throughout
the country.
In addition to furnishing opportunity to learn by making these
articles for service men and others, the Junior Red Cross affords
children of school age basic training in civilian preparedness so that
they may take their places later
on in the volunteer activities of the
Red Cross or the Office of Civilian
Defense.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Hard-Fought Battle for Air Supremacy
Holds Key to Control of North Africa;
Italians Fret Over British Air Raids;
Gains in New Guinea Mark Pacific War

United States soldiers cross a stream in the Gona-Buna area of New
Guinea. The occupation of Gona by Allied forces, directe~ by Gener~l
MacArthur, left the Japanese pinned down in a narrow stnp of coast m
the Buna area, 12 miles soutb.

NORTH AFRICA:
Air Battle Grows

JAPDEFEAT:
In South Pacific

Cheering word of ever-increasing
Allied air strength in North Africa
came from London and the Morocco
radio as swarms of American and
British planes in Tunisia provided
cover for land operations.
Press reports tell of ground commanders telephoning for air coverage "as casually as calling for a
taxi."
Chief battleground for the opposing forces had been Tebourba, a
atrategic junction 20 miles west
of Tunisia and 35 miles south of
Bizerte. Here a series of rapid action tank battles took place, with the
key town changing hands as battle
fortunes shifted.
Continuing efforts were made to
extend and equip new airfields from
1~hich Allied planes could operate.
H.eports reaching the United States
!'tressed the importance of the many
American Commando transport
planes now available. They are de~cribed as 50 per cent faster than
the JU-52s and are capable of movtng jeeps, small field guns and up to
98 soldiers.
On the opposite side of Africa,
the British Eighth army was reported allowing Marshal Rommel's
army no rest in the El Agheila area.
The official communique spoke of
patrol and artillery action. British
military sources in London had
wan1ed that the "real" offensive
was not yet under way and that
when the Eighth army strikes, the
blows will leave no doubt as to its
atrength.

When Allied forces, directed by
General MacArthur, occupied the
Gona area of New Guinea, the Japs
lost the northern anchor of their
ever-diminishing beachhead in Papua, which already has been badly
sliced by veteran American and
Australian jungle fighters.
This new defeat left the Japs
hemmed in a narrow coastal strip
centering on the Buna area, 12 miles
to the south.
First announcement of the Gona
victory was made by Prime Minister
John Curtin, 1who gave the news as
he was conducting a review of the
war before the house of representatives in Canberra, Australia. His
announcement was made 16 days
after an Allied headquarters communique had announced the original Australian entry into Gona.
The Japs had landed at Gona on
July 22 and from that area launched
their invasion drive which took them
across the Owen Stanley mountain
range to within 32 miles of the Allied base at Port Moresby.

COMPLAINTS:
From Italy

"Why do the British bomb our
towns novt instead of German
towns? After all it was the Germans who bombed London."
That was one of the many complaints reported originating in Italy
during the past 30 days. Well-informe&lt;i diplomatic quarters have reported ever-growing discontent in Italy over the war. Mussolini's peoRUSSIA:

in the week's news

CHICAGO: Three Nazi sympathizers, under sentence to die January 22, were granted a stay of execution while the U. S. circuit court
of appeals studies the findings of
their recent trial. . They are Hans
Max Haupt, father of Herbert
Haupt, executed Nazi saboteur; Otto
R. Wergin and Walter 0. Freehling,
friends of the Haupt family.
LONDON:
Continuance of the
German reign of terror in Bohemia
and Moravia was charged by the
exiled Czech government, a spokesman for which said that 35 more
Czechs had been executed by the
Nazis. Twenty-nine men were shot
on one day for' allegedly possessing
arms and explosives and participating in anti-Nazi activities, the Czech
spokesman said. Six Czechs accused
of being ringleaders in a sabotage and
terror gang were executed in Prague.
In Jugoslavia one official report
said that guerrilla warriors had retaken almost half of that country.

Much interes t t hroughout the Unit·
ed Na tions has long centerE-d on the
broad or gener a l pla n for d'&lt;!feating
the Axis. Alwa ys there have been
theories advanced which often s eem
to have little ba sis in fact. Others
again have a highly legitimate t one.
One of the most r ecent explanations of such strategy, and one of
more plausible presentations of it
is that advanced by Prime Minister
John Curtin of Australia. In a current statement he declared that
President Roosevelt and Winston
Churchill decided even before the
fall of Singapore (February 15, 1942)
that the most necessary job was to
beat Hitler and then take after
Japan.
Thus the campaign in the South
Pacific 10nd on the Australian continent becomes one of a " holding"
action. He warned his countrymen
that they might have to endure
strong air and sea-borne attack
from the Japanese forces based on
the isla nd of Timor. He urged them
to further prepare them selves for
such action.
He pointed out that the closest
co-operation exists between the Australian government, General MaeArthur and Admiral Chester N imitz,
commander of the U. S. fleet in the
Pacific.

Morgan crawled across the floor.
He flattened himself near the doorway, catching a slanting view of the
street-end. His horse, spooked by
the firing , had drifted away from
the hitching-rack into the farther
shadows. Meanwhile he heard Herendeen calling from the Yellow
Front saloon. "Get your horses off
the street. Jim-" One more bullet struck the shelves. Kern Case
said, so smoothly outraged, "I'll
have a little slice of this," and
walked back through the store. Rolling over&lt; to the opposite edge of the
doorway, near the counter. Morgan
heard Kern Case's fat weight groarup at a back set of stairs and
across the second floor. From hi!

alley. At the moment there was nc
firing; but, watching the Ye!loVI

light on its windows and stared
steadily at it, not immediately understanding the source of that flash.
Kern Case had reached an upstairs window and now waited for
his chance. Somebody ran along
the back of the store and came
through a rear door. Morgan rolled
against the base of the counter,
listening to those quick steps advance. He heard Hack Breathitt's
voice murmur: "You there, Kern?"
Mor~an said: "How you like our
little party. kid?"
"Clay? Whut the hell you doin'
here?"
Kern Case came down the stairs
with a fat man's slow haste. He
said: "We got to get out of here,
Clay."
"Sure," said Hack. "We depart
from hence, mig hty damned hence."
"You all right. Clay?" said Case.
That drew Breathitt's interest.
"Why wouldn't he be all right?"

Hack's face set in its restless halfsmile and realized his partner found
a malicious satisfaction in this

Hilarious Games
Are Feature of
New Year~s Eve
Unusual inter.:!st in a New Year's
party can be created by an announcement from the hostess that
there will be a good luck New
Year's cake.
The New Year's cake occupies the
position of honor in the center of
the table when the guests assemble
for midnight lunch.
Inside the
cake is baked a thimble, a silver
coin and a ring.
Each person present gets a slice
of cake. The fun begins when the
finder of the ring is announced as
sure to be married soon, the finder
of the thimble to stay single and the
lucky one who finds the coin to have
a future of wealth and prosperity.
New Year's Puzzle.
"New Year's Puzzle" is the name
of a game that will find favor with
holiday merrymakers. It calls for
some ingenuity and resourcefulness
and the results are always interesting.
The party guests are divided into
four or five groups. Each person in a group is numbered. The
leader then calls a number and then
asks a question. The answer m•st
include a word containing the name
of "New." The person who first
answers correctly is given a point

Resolutions? Resolve
To Keep Them in '43
Resolutions by the millions will
be made throughout the United
States on Friday, for it will be New
Year's day-the time designated by
tradition to make vows.
People everywhere will register
solemn promises to themselves to
foreswear bad habits and acquire
good ones. The heavy smoker will
resolve to give up the weed. The
red-eyed tippler will promise to shun
the flowing bowl. Bad-tempered individuals will vow to count ten before exploding with rage. Lazy people will try to form habits of hard
work. Selfish people will cultivate
generosity. And so on.
Skepticism will meet the promises
of many self-reformers. "I hope he
means what he says," will be heard
in many instances. "Old stuff!
will be the cynical comment on others.
But however futile previous efforts j
a~ reform have been, the practice 1
of making fun of the good resolutions
of others should be discouraged.
Why not make good reso·lutions, I
even if past experience indicates that
some of them will not be faithfully
kept? Why not try to improve our
lives?

New Yel\r's on January 12
Highlanders in some of the remote areas of the Hebrides and Orkaney and Shetland islands still celebrate New Year's day on January
12. This odd custom is regarded by
archeologists as a survival of the
Julian calendar, promulgated by Julius Caes~r. In some districts, both
January 11 and January 12 are held
as holidays, but the tendency is to
fall in line with the modern calendar and recognize only the first of
the month . The modern trend is toward standardization.

German People Increasing
Use of Nerve Sedatives
Reports said to emanate from
Italy are to the effect that the use
of sedatives by city populations of
Germany has reached a degree requiring drastic rationing. The derivatives of barbituric acid, known
under various trade names, are being consumed "in uncontrolled
quantities bordering on mania,"
quotes a prominent member of the
American Chemical society.
"It has undoubtedly been found
necessary to conserve the barbiturates for hospital and medical usage in Germany," states Dr. William G. Young, chairman of the
chemistry department at the Los
Angeles campus of the University
of California. "It is quite conceivable that the repeated bombings of
cities and lack of sleep have driven
many people to the use of sedatives.
"In this country a prescription is
required for such drugs, since the
average person if permitted to buy
at will at the drug stores might take
too large doses with possibly fatal
results.
"An unprecedented use of sedatives has been occasioned by the
war. The problem of the hospitals
is to get a sufficient quantity of
quick-acting drugs.''
Army Using Cotton in Clothing
Cotton fabrics are now being used
in army field jackets, parka, and
parka-type overcoats, issued to
troops on duty in frigid theaters of
operations, the war department announces. Laboratory and field expenmentation, based to a large extent on the experiences of Arctic explorers, has been conducted by the
army quartermaster corps and the
r esults have indicated that cotton,
as well as fur, wool and leather, is
an essential material for use in coldweather clothing. One of the most
efficient Arctic garb is a combination of a wind-resistant material
and an ins ulator to preserve body
heat, the r esearch indicates. Cotton twill fabrics, made of a combed
yarn, have proven eilective as body
insulators and types of cotton twill
have demonstrated a high degree of
wind-and-water repellency when
suitable treated in manufacture.

istic of American women which ts
making them more important every
day to the nation's industrial war
front, says Dr F. Theodore Struck,
director of industrial education at
the Pennsylvania State college.
Dr. Struck, who has made a study
of vocational train•ng for war production, believes that this quality
in women is spurring the efforts of
American industry where women
can replace men in war plants.
"Women are being absorbed by
industry more rapidly now than at
a comparative period in the first
World war and on the whole, this
rapid induction reflects a deep and
abiding concern for the welfare of
the country," he said.
Millions of women, according to
the college expert, are presently engaged in highly important war
work, such as making munitions,
loading ba,~s of powder, assembling
radios for aircraft, making and repairing gas masks, and inspecting
manuf::~ctured pnrts &lt;:ncl products.
Invaluable to tl:t&gt; wat pfiort be
C'ause of their hc:.~Jt!t, :;tamina, cour
age, and devotion, women are espe
cially essential in checkmg minute
parts. They are sometimes bettc1
fitted than men in concentrating or
highly detailed and repetitious work
according to Dr. Struck.
As inspectors in plants, checking
intricate parts of machinery and instruments up to two-millionths of an
inch, women have proved their ability, Dr. Struck pointed out. He add·
ed that "their desire to take responsibility and do their part'' is
strengthening Uncle Sam's supply
lines.

Army Designs Light Sleeping Bag
A sleeping bag for cold climates
which weighs almost four pounds
less than its predecessor and is
nearly 35 per cent smaller when
rolled, has been developed by the
quartermaster corps, the war department announces. Made of balloon cloth and poplin, the bag has a
water repellent carrying case which
may be used as a foot cover for the
sleeper. It has a quick opening slide
fastener. The former cold climate
sleeping bag was down-filled and
had two slide fasteners.

Ecuador's Santa Elena
Peninsula Has U. S. B~se
Uncle Sam's site for a new base in
South America, on Ecuador's Santa
Elena peninsula, is in a dry, tropical, lowland region of petroleum
production J.nd cattle grazing.
The Santa Elena peninsula, near
the southern end of Ecuador's r.oast
line, is the Republic's farthest projertion westward into the Pacific
ocean. Almost due west of the peninsula's tip, 600 miles off shore, are
the· Galapagos islands, where another base site was granted to the
United States by Ecuador, in the&gt;
same agreement.
La Libertad, port town on the
north shore of Santa Elena peninsula is 785 air miles south and
slightly west of the Panama canal,
across the Gulf of Panama. It is
approximately a hundred miles by
water and 75 miles by rail west of
Ecuador's principal port, Guayaquil,
a city of 150,000 people located 40
miles inland on the chocolate-brown
waters of the Guayas river. Most
&lt;&gt;f Ecuador's sea-borne trade to
Panama an9 to the West coast of
North Amenca must round the peninsula before turning north.
. The tip. of Santa Elena peninsula
IS 160 m1les south of the Equator.
In that short distance Ecuador's
coast changes from a forest region of abundant rain to a. comparat1vely ?ry, desert area With only a
scattermg of low shrubs. The ~ean
annual temperature on the penms:ula 1s ~bout 83 degrees Fah~enhe1t.
The climate lS pleasant durmg the
dry mont~s from June to ?ecemb.er,
but hum1d and enervatmg durmg
the first ha~ of ~he year. . Whereas,
Negroes thnve m the mmst coasta1
forests to the north, ~nd1ans prove
to be better fitted fo_r life on the dry
reaches of the penmsula.

$30,000,000 Spent for
Recreation by U. S. Cities
Recreation needs for war industry workers e.s well as service men,
and conditioning programs for civilian defense workers contributed in
1941 to an expanded national recreation program costing cities more
than $30,000,000.
Although this expenditure did not
approach the peak outlay of predepression days, it was nearly
$:i,OOO,OOO more than was spent in
1940, according to figw·es submitted
by 1,164 cities to the National Recreation association, source of the
city manager association's information.
Expenditures for the current year
may rise equally high or higher, the
association said, since tire and gas
rationing are providing new reasons
for programs for stay-at-homes.
Popular in municipal recreation
programs were picnicking and gardening, reported by an increasing
number of cities. BasketLall, bowling-on-the-green. football, boating,
swimming, skiing and first aid

Propagandists Making Use
Of Many T ric
· k s, Says Dean

I

Beware of propaganda and fifth
columnists who try to fan up American differences and disagreements
by contrasting races, creeds, class
groups and political adherences, advises A. R. Warnock, dean of men
at the Pennsylvania State college
and executive secretary of the
Pennsylvania AdvisOl¥ committee
on American Unity.
"In this democracy we are not
alike as peas in a pod," the dean
pointed out, "and we don't want to
be. Our national growth has increased with differences in racial
stock and background, in color, variety of occupation and in political
opinion."
'
Dean Warnock believed that national unity results when people who
have differences are kept more
aware of what they have in common
-common ideals, common objectives, common dangers _ but he
warned that those American citizens
who recognize only their differences
and not what they have in common
will have disunity.
"Unity begins at home," Dean
Warnock said. "It is democracy at
work and is built and maintained
by democratic methods. Like the
unity that is built up behind a local
high. school football team, it must
be largely home-made."
He added that Americans cannot
remove their dif?~rences, but they
can subordinate them to the com·
man cause of victory.

New Guinea Strange Land
Of Extremes in Climate

I

Australian and Japanese troops
hacking their way through the treetight jungles of tropical New Guinea
face the heavy and seemingly neverending rains that travel with the
trade winds or the monsoons.
This huge dinosaur-shaped island
with its head almost touching the
equator, its eye looking toward the
southeast coast of Asia and its tail,
1,500 miles away, curved toward the
northeastern tip of Australia's mainland, is a land of strange contrasts
and climatic contradictions, says
the National Geographic society.
Its low grasslands are often temporarily buried in the ooze of tropical swamps. Its tree-matted and
vine-tangled jungles sweep up the
mountain stores and hesitate only at
th~e swi. 1 1g waters of the riYer's

edge. And out of this tropical caul·
dron with its steam risin ~ in clouds.
mighty mountain peaks reach up
from the very sea flror to well
above 16,000 feet (Carst ,1sz Tappen,
16,404 feet). These peai frequent·
ly wear cold white hats 1 snow.
While most of the isl&lt;.uld drips,
bomb-blasted Port More by, on the
underside and near the end of the
tail, is smothered in rr•lling clouds
of dust.

U. S. Foreign-Born Residents
New York state has only about an
eighth of the million and more Canadians in the U. S., with almost twice
as many in Massachusetts. Michigan also has more Canadians than
New York. California is fourth
and Maine fifth in Canadian choice.
The majority of Maine's immigrants
from the north are listed as FrenchCanadians, as is a third of the Canadian colony in Massachusetts. With
a Polish population slightly in excess
of residents from Germany, Illinois
is second only to New York in Polish
popularity. Pennsylvania is third,
with nearly 50 per cent more Poles
than Germans. Michigan is fourth,
New Jersey fifth; Massachusetts
and Ohio both have more than 1
50,000. Next to New York, where ,
less than a sixth of the English ·
population registered, California
leads, followed by Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania. New York and
Massadiusetts have more than half
of the Irish foreign-born, with New
York leading, two to one. Pennsylvania has over 65,000 from Ireland.

Army Bombers Guided to Safety
Rigging a makeshift radio homing device by stringing wire from
his grounded plane to a motor vehicle, Pvt. Arthur W. Rodrick, of
Vincennes, Ind., an air transport
command radio operator, guided two
storm-lost bombers to safe landings
at an advanced base in a mountainous area of China during the monsoon season, according to information received by the war department. Returning from a mission in
the face of dangerous weather, several B-25 medium bombers became
lost and were unable to make radio
contact. Realizing that the planes
could no~ find base because of weathver conditions, Private Rodrick
rigged his homing device and made
contact with the planes. His action
is believed to have saved lwo bombers and their cre:ws from destruction.

Bow long it will take to drive the Axis out of Tunisia into the Mediterranean, Then the offensive against Europe.

SOVIET SURPRISE:
Offensive Perils Nazis

BURMA:
W avell Marches

Two other Soviet offensives had
been launched earlier-the first at
Stalingrad and the second to the
northwest near Rzhev. Both had
taken their toll of Nazi men and
equipment. Neither had threatened
disaster to the German winter occupation ol Russia.
But now had come the third Red
offensive-this time aimed at the
Middle Don area. It had started
much the same as the other two,
with drives through German communications, the capture of air fields
and the cutting off of rail lines and
roads. This third offensive, however, had a momentum and continuity the other two had lacked. Its
apparent objective:
To capture
strategic Rostov and cut off all the
German troops in the Don-VolgaCaucasus area.
How well this roughshod drive had
succeeded over German resistance
was indicated by a Red high command communique announcing the
capture of Kamensk, rail and communications center only 85 ·miles
from Rostov. The fall of Morozovskaya on the Moscow-Rostov railroad was also reported. In a single
week's operations 60,000 Nazis were
killed or captured, the Reds announced. So rapid and furious had
been the assault that 1,000,000 Axis
troops in the Caucasus and DonVolga area appeared to be in imminent danger of being cut off.
Soviet communiques reported that
German armies in the vicinity of
Novaya Kalitva and Kazanskaya
had "retreated in disorder," abandoning equipment and supplies in
their flight.
Further confirmation
that the Nazis were reeling back
before the Soviet sweep came in German high command admissions that
~he Russians had broken into the
Axis defense front on the central
Don after attacking "with a strongest concentration of tank formations."
At Stalingrad the Reds were reported continuing to wage offensive
battles. To the north at Velikie,
Luki which is only 80 miles east
of the Latvian border, German counter-attacks were hurled back.

The Burma road and China still
lay many leagues distant, but Gen.
Archibald WaveD's British Imperials had begun the long march from
India designed ultimately to sweep
the Japs out of Burma and establish direct and effective junction
with Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek's hard-pressed Chinese armies.
Content with methodically taking
first things first, the British concentrated on nearby objectives. Striking suddenly between the Bay of
Bengal and the Masu river, Wavell
drove into Burma with the Japanese
coastal air base at Akyab as his initial target. In the first stages of
the campaign enl!my resistance had
been slight. Jap strategists had apparently relied on the dense Burma
jungle to impede British progress
while they organized in force to hold
key objectives.
Air power assumed an important
part in the campaign, with British
planes bombing Jap-held towns
along their route and American
planes strafing Lashio, Burmese
terminal of the Burma road. In retaliation the Japs bombed Calcutta.
Long-range significance of Wavell's
move would be greater than its immediate results, military observers
agreed. First, by moving aggressively into Burma, Wavell was safeguarding wavering India. Moreover
be was obtaining close-up operating
space for his air forces to harry Jap
holdings at Rangoon and Mandalay.
But most important of all, the Allies
were giving China visible proof that
they were capable of deeds as well
as words.

RETAIL PRICES:
To Be Standardized
Starting with meats and soaps
retail prices for foods and other gro:
eery items were scheduled for
standardization under a new program announced by the Office of
Price Administration.
Under the new plan starting January 15, individual ceiling prices for
grocery items based on March, 1942,
levels, was to be replaced by a fiat
dollars and cents price ceiling. Purpose of the new order, officials said,
was to establish a simpler method
of de termining what the top legal
price should be. The plan specified
that retail stores be grouped as independents, chains, and supermarkets. Each store in the same class
would have the same ceiling prices.
Standard prices were to be of two
types-either fixed dollar and cents,
or percentage markup.
OPA officials declared that the
new regulations would eliminate a
lot of reports and paper work.

HIGHLIGHTS
BERN:
Reports were current
here that Italian military authorities,
concerned over United Nations' air
raids were evacuating civilians from
Nice on the Mediterranean coast of
France and from Trieste, Florence
and Bologna, Italy. Reports also
stated that Albanian patriots had
clashed with Italian troops in Tirana
during a demonstration against Italian occupation of that country.

Two unmed1ate facts of significance were noted in the meeting.
One was the absence of Mussolinian absence which strengthened current reports concerning his serious
illness. The other was the summoning to the conference of Pierre
Laval, Vichy premier of France and
arch-collaborationist with the Axis.
With Hitler stubbornly defending
his last footholds in Africa and with
Italian civilian morale shaken by
repeated Allied bombing attacks,
moves calculated to bolster both
situations faced the Axis chieftains.
Still an ominous question-mark in
the Mediterranean-Africa theater
was Franco-ruled Spain. While the
Spanish dictator had mobilized his
army in the south perilously close
to Gibraltar and Morocco and had
used his radio for brash Axis propaganda, he had not yet violated his
neutrality pledge. But the meeting
of his foreign minister Count Jordana with Portuguese Premier De
Oliveria simultaneously with the
Axis conference was regarded by
some observers as a cause for misgiving by the Allies.

It was beyond midnight when Clay
reached home. Harry Jump, nighthawking around the yard, followed
him into the kitchen and watched
him strip down to the waist and
wash. Morgan's cheeks showed the
battering of Herendeen's fists.
Morgan went up to his bed and
lay there, his brain pulsing within its
skullcap and strong pain traveling
through his left arm from a broken finger. It made him remember
the older fight. Both of them had
t-een younger men, soon recovering
from the misery of that beating.
'this one would stick, it would be
buried physically in them as long
as they lived, and the sting of it
would never leave their minds.
At two in the morning, his broken
hand on fire, he dressed and went
rtownstairs; he lighted a lamp in the
kitchen and shaved himself for want
of something better to do-watching
\he bruised patches on his face slowly change color. He stoked up the
stove and put on the coffeepot; and
eat on the porch in the moon-shot
heart of night. Wind drifted across
the fiats, cold and sweet. Harry
lump appeared from the shadows,
caying in his sleepy, irrita~le voice,
''Well, if you're goin' to stay up
I'll turn in."
Morgan g~t up from the chair, unable to take the punishment of his
hand by sitting still. He went in
and drank his coffee, black and hot,
and returned to the yard, pacing out
through the long-thrown shadows of
the poplars. The weathered juniper
poles of the corral showed whitely
in the moonlight; across the valley
the outline of silence; even the night
creatures at last grew still. And so
he watched this land, his land, slowly turn through the night from glowing shapelessness to the first hard
1hadows of false morning. A streak
showed over the eastern hills and the
horses began to stir in the corral.
At four he heard the cook cross the
kitchen, asthmatically coughing: at
five, drawn and wire-nerved, Morgan
ate breakfast with the crew.
He said to Jump, "I'll be In town
for a couple hours. Stick close to
the house until I get back."
Afterwards, all his muscles sore
and strained and ragged, he climbed
the stairs to Janet's room and stood
a moment by her bed. She Jay in
a curled bundle, both hands drawn
near her face. Her lips were soft,
almost on the edge of a smile, as
though her dreams were pleasant;
and this way, unconscious of him,
she showed Morgan a childish
sweetness that held him there, longwondering and strongly moved. It
was that little-girl look, full of faith
and belief, which struck him so
I bard. It would not, he realized, be
with her much longer. He left the
room reluctantly, got his horse and
lined out for War Pass, reaching
town beyond sunup and going directly to Charley Padden's house.
Charley was the only doctor in
the country. a man turned rough and
blunt by the kind of practice he
had, somewhat profane and apparently calloused to pain in others.
When he saw the broken finger and
the bruises on Morgan's face, he

Hilarious Games
Are Feature of
New Year~s Eve
Unusual inter.:!st in a New Year's
party can be created by an announcement from the hostess that
there will be a good luck New
Year's cake.
The New Year's cake occupies the
position of honor in the center of
the table when the guests assemble
for midnight lunch.
Inside the
cake is baked a thimble, a silver
coin and a ring.
Each person present gets a slice
of cake. The fun begins when the
finder of the ring is announced as
sure to be married soon, the finder
of the thimble to stay single and the
lucky one who finds the coin to have
a future of wealth and prosperity.
New Year's Puzzle.
"New Year's Puzzle" is the name
of a game that will find favor with
holiday merrymakers. It calls for
some ingenuity and resourcefulness
and the results are always interesting.
The party guests are divided into
four or five groups. Each person in a group is numbered. The
leader then calls a number and then
asks a question. The answer m•st
include a word containing the name
of "New." The person who first
answers correctly is given a point

Resolutions? Resolve
To Keep Them in '43
Resolutions by the millions will
be made throughout the United
States on Friday, for it will be New
Year's day-the time designated by
tradition to make vows.
People everywhere will register
solemn promises to themselves to
foreswear bad habits and acquire
good ones. The heavy smoker will
resolve to give up the weed. The
red-eyed tippler will promise to shun
the flowing bowl. Bad-tempered individuals will vow to count ten before exploding with rage. Lazy people will try to form habits of hard
work. Selfish people will cultivate
generosity. And so on.
Skepticism will meet the promises
of many self-reformers. "I hope he
means what he says," will be heard
in many instances. "Old stuff!
will be the cynical comment on others.
But however futile previous efforts j
a~ reform have been, the practice 1
of making fun of the good resolutions
of others should be discouraged.
Why not make good reso·lutions, I
even if past experience indicates that
some of them will not be faithfully
kept? Why not try to improve our
lives?

New Yel\r's on January 12
Highlanders in some of the remote areas of the Hebrides and Orkaney and Shetland islands still celebrate New Year's day on January
12. This odd custom is regarded by
archeologists as a survival of the
Julian calendar, promulgated by Julius Caes~r. In some districts, both
January 11 and January 12 are held
as holidays, but the tendency is to
fall in line with the modern calendar and recognize only the first of
the month . The modern trend is toward standardization.

German People Increasing
Use of Nerve Sedatives
Reports said to emanate from
Italy are to the effect that the use
of sedatives by city populations of
Germany has reached a degree requiring drastic rationing. The derivatives of barbituric acid, known
under various trade names, are being consumed "in uncontrolled
quantities bordering on mania,"
quotes a prominent member of the
American Chemical society.
"It has undoubtedly been found
necessary to conserve the barbiturates for hospital and medical usage in Germany," states Dr. William G. Young, chairman of the
chemistry department at the Los
Angeles campus of the University
of California. "It is quite conceivable that the repeated bombings of
cities and lack of sleep have driven
many people to the use of sedatives.
"In this country a prescription is
required for such drugs, since the
average person if permitted to buy
at will at the drug stores might take
too large doses with possibly fatal
results.
"An unprecedented use of sedatives has been occasioned by the
war. The problem of the hospitals
is to get a sufficient quantity of
quick-acting drugs.''
Army Using Cotton in Clothing
Cotton fabrics are now being used
in army field jackets, parka, and
parka-type overcoats, issued to
troops on duty in frigid theaters of
operations, the war department announces. Laboratory and field expenmentation, based to a large extent on the experiences of Arctic explorers, has been conducted by the
army quartermaster corps and the
r esults have indicated that cotton,
as well as fur, wool and leather, is
an essential material for use in coldweather clothing. One of the most
efficient Arctic garb is a combination of a wind-resistant material
and an ins ulator to preserve body
heat, the r esearch indicates. Cotton twill fabrics, made of a combed
yarn, have proven eilective as body
insulators and types of cotton twill
have demonstrated a high degree of
wind-and-water repellency when
suitable treated in manufacture.

istic of American women which ts
making them more important every
day to the nation's industrial war
front, says Dr F. Theodore Struck,
director of industrial education at
the Pennsylvania State college.
Dr. Struck, who has made a study
of vocational train•ng for war production, believes that this quality
in women is spurring the efforts of
American industry where women
can replace men in war plants.
"Women are being absorbed by
industry more rapidly now than at
a comparative period in the first
World war and on the whole, this
rapid induction reflects a deep and
abiding concern for the welfare of
the country," he said.
Millions of women, according to
the college expert, are presently engaged in highly important war
work, such as making munitions,
loading ba,~s of powder, assembling
radios for aircraft, making and repairing gas masks, and inspecting
manuf::~ctured pnrts &lt;:ncl products.
Invaluable to tl:t&gt; wat pfiort be
C'ause of their hc:.~Jt!t, :;tamina, cour
age, and devotion, women are espe
cially essential in checkmg minute
parts. They are sometimes bettc1
fitted than men in concentrating or
highly detailed and repetitious work
according to Dr. Struck.
As inspectors in plants, checking
intricate parts of machinery and instruments up to two-millionths of an
inch, women have proved their ability, Dr. Struck pointed out. He add·
ed that "their desire to take responsibility and do their part'' is
strengthening Uncle Sam's supply
lines.

Army Designs Light Sleeping Bag
A sleeping bag for cold climates
which weighs almost four pounds
less than its predecessor and is
nearly 35 per cent smaller when
rolled, has been developed by the
quartermaster corps, the war department announces. Made of balloon cloth and poplin, the bag has a
water repellent carrying case which
may be used as a foot cover for the
sleeper. It has a quick opening slide
fastener. The former cold climate
sleeping bag was down-filled and
had two slide fasteners.

Ecuador's Santa Elena
Peninsula Has U. S. B~se
Uncle Sam's site for a new base in
South America, on Ecuador's Santa
Elena peninsula, is in a dry, tropical, lowland region of petroleum
production J.nd cattle grazing.
The Santa Elena peninsula, near
the southern end of Ecuador's r.oast
line, is the Republic's farthest projertion westward into the Pacific
ocean. Almost due west of the peninsula's tip, 600 miles off shore, are
the· Galapagos islands, where another base site was granted to the
United States by Ecuador, in the&gt;
same agreement.
La Libertad, port town on the
north shore of Santa Elena peninsula is 785 air miles south and
slightly west of the Panama canal,
across the Gulf of Panama. It is
approximately a hundred miles by
water and 75 miles by rail west of
Ecuador's principal port, Guayaquil,
a city of 150,000 people located 40
miles inland on the chocolate-brown
waters of the Guayas river. Most
&lt;&gt;f Ecuador's sea-borne trade to
Panama an9 to the West coast of
North Amenca must round the peninsula before turning north.
. The tip. of Santa Elena peninsula
IS 160 m1les south of the Equator.
In that short distance Ecuador's
coast changes from a forest region of abundant rain to a. comparat1vely ?ry, desert area With only a

$30,000,000 Spent for
Recreation by U. S. Cities
Recreation needs for war industry workers e.s well as service men,
and conditioning programs for civilian defense workers contributed in
1941 to an expanded national recreation program costing cities more
than $30,000,000.
Although this expenditure did not
approach the peak outlay of predepression days, it was nearly
$:i,OOO,OOO more than was spent in
1940, according to figw·es submitted
by 1,164 cities to the National Recreation association, source of the
city manager association's information.
Expenditures for the current year
may rise equally high or higher, the
association said, since tire and gas
rationing are providing new reasons
for programs for stay-at-homes.
Popular in municipal recreation
programs were picnicking and gardening, reported by an increasing
number of cities. BasketLall, bowling-on-the-green. football, boating,

Propagandists Making Use
Of Many T ric
· k s, Says Dean

I

Beware of propaganda and fifth
columnists who try to fan up American differences and disagreements
by contrasting races, creeds, class
groups and political adherences, advises A. R. Warnock, dean of men
at the Pennsylvania State college
and executive secretary of the
Pennsylvania AdvisOl¥ committee
on American Unity.
"In this democracy we are not
alike as peas in a pod," the dean
pointed out, "and we don't want to
be. Our national growth has increased with differences in racial
stock and background, in color, variety of occupation and in political
opinion."
'
Dean Warnock believed that national unity results when people who
have differences are kept more
aware of what they have in common
-common ideals, common objectives, common dangers _ but he
warned that those American citizens
who recognize only their differences
and not what they have in common
will have disunity.
"Unity begins at home," Dean
Warnock said. "It is democracy at
work and is built and maintained
by democratic methods. Like the
unity that is built up behind a local
high. school football team, it must
be largely home-made."
He added that Americans cannot
remove their dif?~rences, but they
can subordinate them to the com·
man cause of victory.

U. S. Foreign-Born Residents
New York state has only about an
eighth of the million and more Canadians in the U. S., with almost twice
as many in Massachusetts. Michigan also has more Canadians than
New York. California is fourth
and Maine fifth in Canadian choice.
The majority of Maine's immigrants
from the north are listed as FrenchCanadians, as is a third of the Canadian colony in Massachusetts. With
a Polish population slightly in excess
of residents from Germany, Illinois
is second only to New York in Polish
popularity. Pennsylvania is third,
with nearly 50 per cent more Poles
than Germans. Michigan is fourth,
New Jersey fifth; Massachusetts
and Ohio both have more than 1
50,000. Next to New York, where ,
less than a sixth of the English ·
population registered, California
leads, followed by Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania. New York and
Massadiusetts have more than half
of the Irish foreign-born, with New
York leading, two to one. Pennsylvania has over 65,000 from Ireland.

Army Bombers Guided to Safety
Rigging a makeshift radio homing device by stringing wire from
his grounded plane to a motor vehicle, Pvt. Arthur W. Rodrick, of
Vincennes, Ind., an air transport
command radio operator, guided two
storm-lost bombers to safe landings
at an advanced base in a mountainous area of China during the monsoon season, according to information received by the war department. Returning from a mission in
the face of dangerous weather, several B-25 medium bombers became
lost and were unable to make radio
contact. Realizing that the planes
could no~ find base because of weathver conditions, Private Rodrick
rigged his homing device and made
contact with the planes. His action
is believed to have saved lwo bombers and their cre:ws from destruction.

A French soldier (center) chats affably with a British Tommy and
two helmeted American troops in Algiers. What are they discussing?
Bow long it will take to drive the Axis out of Tunisia into the Mediterranean, Then the offensive against Europe.

SOVIET SURPRISE:
Offensive Perils Nazis

BURMA:
W avell Marches

Two other Soviet offensives had
been launched earlier-the first at
Stalingrad and the second to the
northwest near Rzhev. Both had
taken their toll of Nazi men and
equipment. Neither had threatened
disaster to the German winter occupation ol Russia.
But now had come the third Red
offensive-this time aimed at the
Middle Don area. It had started
much the same as the other two,
with drives through German communications, the capture of air fields
and the cutting off of rail lines and
roads. This third offensive, however, had a momentum and continuity the other two had lacked. Its
apparent objective:
To capture
strategic Rostov and cut off all the
German troops in the Don-VolgaCaucasus area.
How well this roughshod drive had
succeeded over German resistance
was indicated by a Red high command communique announcing the
capture of Kamensk, rail and communications center only 85 ·miles
from Rostov. The fall of Morozovskaya on the Moscow-Rostov railroad was also reported. In a single
week's operations 60,000 Nazis were
killed or captured, the Reds announced. So rapid and furious had
been the assault that 1,000,000 Axis
troops in the Caucasus and DonVolga area appeared to be in imminent danger of being cut off.
Soviet communiques reported that
German armies in the vicinity of
Novaya Kalitva and Kazanskaya
had "retreated in disorder," abandoning equipment and supplies in
their flight.
Further confirmation
that the Nazis were reeling back
before the Soviet sweep came in German high command admissions that
~he Russians had broken into the
Axis defense front on the central
Don after attacking "with a strongest concentration of tank formations."
At Stalingrad the Reds were reported continuing to wage offensive
battles. To the north at Velikie,
Luki which is only 80 miles east
of the Latvian border, German counter-attacks were hurled back.

The Burma road and China still
lay many leagues distant, but Gen.
Archibald WaveD's British Imperials had begun the long march from
India designed ultimately to sweep
the Japs out of Burma and establish direct and effective junction
with Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek's hard-pressed Chinese armies.
Content with methodically taking
first things first, the British concentrated on nearby objectives. Striking suddenly between the Bay of
Bengal and the Masu river, Wavell
drove into Burma with the Japanese
coastal air base at Akyab as his initial target. In the first stages of
the campaign enl!my resistance had
been slight. Jap strategists had apparently relied on the dense Burma
jungle to impede British progress
while they organized in force to hold
key objectives.
Air power assumed an important
part in the campaign, with British
planes bombing Jap-held towns
along their route and American
planes strafing Lashio, Burmese
terminal of the Burma road. In retaliation the Japs bombed Calcutta.
Long-range significance of Wavell's
move would be greater than its immediate results, military observers
agreed. First, by moving aggressively into Burma, Wavell was safeguarding wavering India. Moreover
be was obtaining close-up operating
space for his air forces to harry Jap
holdings at Rangoon and Mandalay.
But most important of all, the Allies
were giving China visible proof that
they were capable of deeds as well
as words.

RETAIL PRICES:
To Be Standardized
Starting with meats and soaps
retail prices for foods and other gro:
eery items were scheduled for
standardization under a new program announced by the Office of
Price Administration.
Under the new plan starting January 15, individual ceiling prices for
grocery items based on March, 1942,
levels, was to be replaced by a fiat
dollars and cents price ceiling. Purpose of the new order, officials said,
was to establish a simpler method
of de termining what the top legal
price should be. The plan specified
that retail stores be grouped as independents, chains, and supermarkets. Each store in the same class
would have the same ceiling prices.
Standard prices were to be of two
types-either fixed dollar and cents,
or percentage markup.
OPA officials declared that the
new regulations would eliminate a
lot of reports and paper work.

HIGHLIGHTS
BERN:
Reports were current
here that Italian military authorities,
concerned over United Nations' air
raids were evacuating civilians from
Nice on the Mediterranean coast of
France and from Trieste, Florence
and Bologna, Italy. Reports also
stated that Albanian patriots had
clashed with Italian troops in Tirana
during a demonstration against Italian occupation of that country.

Two unmed1ate facts of significance were noted in the meeting.
One was the absence of Mussolinian absence which strengthened current reports concerning his serious
illness. The other was the summoning to the conference of Pierre
Laval, Vichy premier of France and
arch-collaborationist with the Axis.
With Hitler stubbornly defending
his last footholds in Africa and with
Italian civilian morale shaken by
repeated Allied bombing attacks,
moves calculated to bolster both
situations faced the Axis chieftains.
Still an ominous question-mark in
the Mediterranean-Africa theater
was Franco-ruled Spain. While the
Spanish dictator had mobilized his
army in the south perilously close
to Gibraltar and Morocco and had
used his radio for brash Axis propaganda, he had not yet violated his
neutrality pledge. But the meeting
of his foreign minister Count Jordana with Portuguese Premier De
Oliveria simultaneously with the
Axis conference was regarded by
some observers as a cause for misgiving by the Allies.

Washington, D. C.
In a hospital in an American city
one of the great women of the world
is lying under treatment for serious
but not critical trouble. The doctors have said assuringly that the
trouble is not dangerous, that
Madame Chiang Kai-shek will soon
be well.
Several million Chinese are waiting anxiously for her recovery.
Although the matter has not been
formally discussed as yet, it can
safely be predicted that when
Madame Chiang Kai-shek recovers
and she takes the house she has
rented in Washington, her mission
will not be secret long. According
to hints dropped in reliable quarters, this mission is to obtain a definite showdown on immediate aid
to China in the form of an all-out

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
OF A COLUMNISTCOMMENTATOR
I will try to write and talk as
much like a human being as possible.
I won't use any words on paper
or on the air I don't use on the
street car and I will be sure I
know what the words I do use
mean.
I will not talk or write down to
my audience or up to my news
sources.
I will swallow my snorts and
coughs and wheezes until I can
signal the engineer to cut off the
mike.
I will try to keep personal
prejudices out of my manuscript
if I can't always keep it out of
my voice.
I will not threaten to murder
the people who write in and accuse me of saying the opposite
of what I did say.
I will read all my mail and
answer it in person if a stamp
is enclosed, or on the air, or, if
there is no other way, in spirit.
I will be grateful for the two
miraculous inventions, the printing press and the radio, which
permit me. to have my say without being interrupted or talked
back to.

The recruit was on night guard
in the horse lines. At midnight
the sergeant went round to see if
all was well, but could see nothing
of the guard.

but in the government which had
shorn off considerable socialistic attributes and borrowed where it had

the things which the regime, in
which they had faith, had promised
them and a part of which they had
already realized.
Now comes the next step. There
has grown up, with the blessing of
the Stalin regime, a great respect
for many things about America as a
country with whose help the Russian
can obtain the things which he hopes
for and which he knows the Americans possess.
Therefore, Russia's aim is to help
the Allies win the war and also help
with the peace with the expectancy 1
that in return America will help
Russia to real\ze its hopes.

that is the way America "hopes"

It was beyond midnight when Clay
reached home. Harry Jump, nighthawking around the yard, followed
him into the kitchen and watched
him strip down to the waist and
wash. Morgan's cheeks showed the
battering of Herendeen's fists.
Morgan went up to his bed and
lay there, his brain pulsing within its
skullcap and strong pain traveling
through his left arm from a broken finger. It made him remember
the older fight. Both of them had
t-een younger men, soon recovering
from the misery of that beating.
'this one would stick, it would be
buried physically in them as long
as they lived, and the sting of it
would never leave their minds.
At two in the morning, his broken
hand on fire, he dressed and went
rtownstairs; he lighted a lamp in the
kitchen and shaved himself for want
of something better to do-watching
\he bruised patches on his face slowly change color. He stoked up the
stove and put on the coffeepot; and
eat on the porch in the moon-shot
heart of night. Wind drifted across
the fiats, cold and sweet. Harry
lump appeared from the shadows,
caying in his sleepy, irrita~le voice,
''Well, if you're goin' to stay up
I'll turn in."
Morgan g~t up from the chair, unable to take the punishment of his
hand by sitting still. He went in
and drank his coffee, black and hot,
and returned to the yard, pacing out
through the long-thrown shadows of
the poplars. The weathered juniper
poles of the corral showed whitely
in the moonlight; across the valley
the outline of silence; even the night
creatures at last grew still. And so
he watched this land, his land, slowly turn through the night from glowing shapelessness to the first hard
1hadows of false morning. A streak
showed over the eastern hills and the
horses began to stir in the corral.
At four he heard the cook cross the
kitchen, asthmatically coughing: at
five, drawn and wire-nerved, Morgan
ate breakfast with the crew.
He said to Jump, "I'll be In town
for a couple hours. Stick close to
the house until I get back."
Afterwards, all his muscles sore
and strained and ragged, he climbed
the stairs to Janet's room and stood
a moment by her bed. She Jay in
a curled bundle, both hands drawn
near her face. Her lips were soft,
almost on the edge of a smile, as
though her dreams were pleasant;
and this way, unconscious of him,
she showed Morgan a childish
sweetness that held him there, longwondering and strongly moved. It
was that little-girl look, full of faith
and belief, which struck him so
I bard. It would not, he realized, be
with her much longer. He left the
room reluctantly, got his horse and
lined out for War Pass, reaching
town beyond sunup and going directly to Charley Padden's house.
Charley was the only doctor in
the country. a man turned rough and
blunt by the kind of practice he
had, somewhat profane and apparently calloused to pain in others.
When he saw the broken finger and
the bruises on Morgan's face, he
said: "The other customer came in
before daylight. I took four stitches
in his lip. This is going to make
you squirm, Clay. Want a drink of
whisky first?"
"No," said Clay, "go ahead and
don't talk so damned much."
Rounding the bend of the trail, a
few minutes later, he saw Catherine

When Morgan dismountec'. before
her her eyes showed him something
that warmed him through and
through: it was a swift personal interest, a little saddened by what
she saw, as though his injuries hurt
her heart. "Bones McGeen came by

what happened." She watched him
quite closely, one strong lme of
worry across her forehead. "I was

Cans and Jars: You will have
noticed that your grocery shelves
present a different picture than
in the past. Instead of all food
being put up in cans, some food
has been preserved in glass.
In those foods placed in cans,
the government has decreed
three different sized cans.
A number two sized can, one
of the standard sizes yields 2lh
cups and will serve four to five
people. The number 2lh sized
can averages 3lh cups and feeds
six people.
Largest food can is number 10,
usually used by institutions and
restaurants. This large size is
not usually practical for a family of less than eight since it
yields 12 cups and would last for
at least two meals.
A few additional sized cans
are allowed in the case of canned
meats, fish, baby food, and citrus
juices.

Alll&lt;QI•h .. n...~..t.

WORN VARNISH AT DOORWAYS
CAN BE PATCHED
HE waxing of a varnished floor
has another purpose besides improving the appearance; for the wax
takes the wear. Heaviest wear, of
course, is at doorways, and the replacement of wax is a simple method
of protection. Many people do not
like waxed floors because of possible slipr.ing, and in that case,
the wear at doorways comes directly
on the varnish. When wear begins
to show, the revarnishing of the entire floor is not necessary, for the
worn place can be so neatly patched
that it will not show. The first step
ts to go over the worn place with
sandpaper to make it smooth and
to take off soiling that washing may
not remove. Varnishing should begin at the center of a worn place and
go toward the edges. At the edges
the varnish is applied thin, and
should go over the old varnish in
such a way that a margin will not
be visible. Two and probably three
coats of varnish will be needed in
the center of the worn place, but
the edges of all of them should be
so thin that they will not show. As
each undercoat becomes hard, it
should be lightly rubbed with very
fine sandpaper to cut into the gloss.
Basement Playroom
Question: In the summer our cellar walls sweat pretty badly. I am
planning to build a playroom there.
What would you advise for the ceiling and walls? Since the basement
is not very warm in winter, would
you advise placing rock wool batts
or other insulation between the furring strips? Would covering the
walls st'JP the sweating?
Answer: Covering the walls with
plywood, a rigid insulating board or
a gypsum wallboard, with the top
and bottom sealed against air circulation in the space behind the wallboard, should prevent condensation.
If the cellar is very cold, a one-inch
blanket of insulation, the kind enclosed in waterproof paper, placed
between the furring strips will ~make
it more comfortable. The floor can
be covered with asphalt tile or a synthetic resin floor paint.
Sooty House
Question: I have n c"al-burning
furnace, with a stoker. While I get
all the heat I need, the soot is so
thick that curtains and furniture are
covered in six hours. Heat comes
through a grille.
Answer: In a hot-air heating system soot and fine ash are likely to
seep through c:::acks in the cement
joints between the furnace sections,
or between the floor and the base of
the furnace and into the heated air
rising to the rooms above. Any
cracks or erevices at these points
should be filled with iron cement. All
furnace doors should fit well against
the frame. In addition, it might be
advisable to place two thicknesses
of dark mosquito netting back of
each grille.
Radiator Does Not Heat
Question: I am having trouble with
one of the radiators of my hot-water
heating system; it does not heat. I
drained the system and refilled it,
and bled the air out of all the
radiators. They all heat up except
this one. Wh?.t can I do?
Answer: There are several possibilities; perhaps the shut off valve
at the radiator is not opened wtde.
Or air still may remain in the radiator, or may be trapped in a pipe
bend or angle, thus block:ng the circulation. Or the piping :!lay be defective. A heating contractor should
be called in to check on all these
points.
Scratch Remover
Question: Is there such a thing as
a scratch remover? I am sure I
saw it advertised.
Answer: Yes; but you will have to
inquire about it at your hardware
store. I cannot give trade names in
the column. If you do not find what
you want, try rwming a little varnish
of the right color into the scratch,
using a pointed camel's-hair brush.
Or use the meat of a pecan or Brazil
nut-unsalted, of course.
Bot-Air Registers
Question: Our hot air registers
make the rooms quite dusty. To
catch the dust, I am planning to
place a thickness of mosquito netting
against the pipe inside the register.
Would this check the flow of hot air,
and should we have to burn more
fuel.
Answer: Two thicknesses of black
mosquito netting placed back of the
hot air register may have a slight
effect on the flow of heat, but not
en&lt;"ugh to cause ar.. appreciable in--~.li in fuel consumption.

Phenothiazillt 1:. Versatile Drug
"The ideal anthelmintic of worm

current Yearbook of the U. S. de-·
partment of agriculture, "would
have no injurious action whatsoever
on the host and yEo&gt;t would kill all
or practically all the parasites harbored by the animal. Such a drug
has not yet been di~covered. The
nearest ap!)roach to it is phenothiazine, developed by the bureau of animal industry during the last three
years, which appears to be the most
u~eful anthelmintic yet discovered.
"This drug, administered in proper
t' erapeutic doses in a capsule, in a
drench, or in feed, is effir?.cious for
removing stomach wor·ms and relat·
ed trichostongyles, as well as hookworms and nodular worms from cal·
tie, sheep or goats; pal isade or red
worms, and relate d strongyles, from
horses; and nodular v:orms from

Barbados' Fine Climate
Healthful climate has in fact so

square mile, is comparable to that
of China's most crowded provinces.
Labor is cheap and mass production

New York Indians Raise
Most All Their Provisions
Indians of the Six Nations Federation, still farming small parts of r.t
their original lands in New York J ~
state, set a good wartime example :
for their rural neighbors by growing ~
nearly all the food they use at home.
Families of the red-skinned tribes
that first taught white men to grow :,
corn, to save them from starvation, ljJ
are still growing corn and beans and :
squash as they did centuries ago, ~
along with potatoes, small grains, :
and their flocks of chickens and pigs ~
for meat.
:
As most of the Indian land is ~
owned by the tribe, not by the fam- :
ily, few Indians have been able to ~
buy machinery for large-scale farm :
production, Says Prof. F. P. Bussell
of the New York State college of ~
agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y.
~
To get their other necessities, the :
Indians now living on reservations
have long worked on railroads, in ~
sawmills, and in other work near Jt
their homes. Today many Indi- :
ans work in war industries during
the day, and carry on their sub- Jt
sistence farming evenings and
week-ends.

Wisconsin forests, now partinlly
restored, wiil be protected from exploitation to meet the wartime timber market if a program proposed
by the state con~;ervation commission becomes .affective, the Amencan Society of Pla,.mir.g Officials
said.
So great have been demonds for
wood and lumber rtcently in the
state-as in other lur1bcr producing
states-that Wisconsin forestry authorities fear reforesta tiun work of
the last 10 years may b(' endangered, especially in the northern
counties.
The forest-saving program consists of voluntary agreements by
producers and users of timber and
forest products that they will aid
in conserving the state's forests during the war period.
Under one agreement, proposed to
120 wood-using industries and timber operators, buyers and users of
forest products would reject tim~er
which does not meet certain specifications according to size. Spruce,
balsam, pine and tamarack, for example, would not be accepted for
pulpwood unless more than four
inches in diameter, and hemlock,
five inches.

For Next Year's Use
No woman this year s wuld look
with disdain on the co ons, bernbergs, and summer gar1 nts that
are left at the end of t
season.
A summer's wear has naturally left
its maJ:k, but unless a garment
is hopelessly worn it shou u be carefully saved. Next year it rnay be as
welcome as buried treasu . To get
the most good out of st n ner leftovers for another year, those that
can be washed should be given a
final and thorough laundding before
being put away. Buttons and fasteners should be sewed firmly, and
holes and tears should be mended.
Clothes that are just too badly worn
to be useful another year should be
ripped apart and the good sections
should be salvaged either with an
eye to combining them with other
materials or giving them to the cloth

The year 1942 saw the achieve·
ment of a long-sought ~o'ill in
Will county-the complete elim
ination of rural crime. State's
Attorney James E. Burke point
ed out recently in a year-end
statement.
"It isn't so long ago that the
farmers of Will county had the
worry of making spec1al eff0rts
to protect their ~:~tock and property against t be depredations of
thieves. Several murders were
c:ommitted.
Other crimes of
violence were noted," Burke recalled.

It is a pleasure to write a few words for this column to the
Crete boyR in service. I have ~ead the published letters received
by the Lion's Club and Woman's Club with much interest. for it
has not been so long ago that these boys were writing themes,
letters, etc., for the approval of our English department here in
school. I feel confident after reading these very intt!restiog letters
that all our efforts in the English classes were not in vain. I
don't believe that one of our English exercises called for quite the
type of letter that you must write now (as a service man to your
civilian friends and relatives back home) but your letters are
excellent.

Lynn Says:

Cans and Jars: You will have
noticed that your grocery shelves
present a different picture than
in the past. Instead of all food
being put up in cans, some food
has been preserved in glass.
In those foods placed in cans,
the government has decreed
three different sized cans.
A number two sized can, one
of the standard sizes yields 2lh
cups and will serve four to five
people. The number 2lh sized
can averages 3lh cups and feeds
six people.
Largest food can is number 10,
usually used by institutions and
restaurants. This large size is
not usually practical for a family of less than eight since it
yields 12 cups and would last for
at least two meals.
A few additional sized cans
are allowed in the case of canned
meats, fish, baby food, and citrus
juices.

Roger B. Whitman-WNU Features.

Yon may not be able to replace worn or

Government priorities come first. So take

possibly can. This column by the home·
owner'• friend tells you bow.

O:IU •YMftiTOo""'dl"'-.

Alll&lt;QI•h .. n...~..t.

WORN VARNISH AT DOORWAYS
CAN BE PATCHED
HE waxing of a varnished floor
has another purpose besides improving the appearance; for the wax
takes the wear. Heaviest wear, of
course, is at doorways, and the replacement of wax is a simple method
of protection. Many people do not
like waxed floors because of possible slipr.ing, and in that case,
the wear at doorways comes directly
on the varnish. When wear begins
to show, the revarnishing of the entire floor is not necessary, for the
worn place can be so neatly patched
that it will not show. The first step
ts to go over the worn place with
sandpaper to make it smooth and
to take off soiling that washing may
not remove. Varnishing should begin at the center of a worn place and
go toward the edges. At the edges
the varnish is applied thin, and
should go over the old varnish in
such a way that a margin will not
be visible. Two and probably three
coats of varnish will be needed in
the center of the worn place, but
the edges of all of them should be
so thin that they will not show. As
each undercoat becomes hard, it
should be lightly rubbed with very
fine sandpaper to cut into the gloss.
Basement Playroom
Question: In the summer our cellar walls sweat pretty badly. I am
planning to build a playroom there.
What would you advise for the ceiling and walls? Since the basement
is not very warm in winter, would
you advise placing rock wool batts
or other insulation between the furring strips? Would covering the
walls st'JP the sweating?
Answer: Covering the walls with
plywood, a rigid insulating board or
a gypsum wallboard, with the top
and bottom sealed against air circulation in the space behind the wallboard, should prevent condensation.
If the cellar is very cold, a one-inch
blanket of insulation, the kind enclosed in waterproof paper, placed
between the furring strips will ~make
it more comfortable. The floor can
be covered with asphalt tile or a synthetic resin floor paint.
Sooty House
Question: I have n c"al-burning
furnace, with a stoker. While I get
all the heat I need, the soot is so
thick that curtains and furniture are
covered in six hours. Heat comes
through a grille.
Answer: In a hot-air heating system soot and fine ash are likely to
seep through c:::acks in the cement
joints between the furnace sections,
or between the floor and the base of
the furnace and into the heated air
rising to the rooms above. Any
cracks or erevices at these points
should be filled with iron cement. All
furnace doors should fit well against
the frame. In addition, it might be
advisable to place two thicknesses
of dark mosquito netting back of
each grille.
Radiator Does Not Heat
Question: I am having trouble with
one of the radiators of my hot-water
heating system; it does not heat. I
drained the system and refilled it,
and bled the air out of all the
radiators. They all heat up except
this one. Wh?.t can I do?
Answer: There are several possibilities; perhaps the shut off valve
at the radiator is not opened wtde.
Or air still may remain in the radiator, or may be trapped in a pipe
bend or angle, thus block:ng the circulation. Or the piping :!lay be defective. A heating contractor should
be called in to check on all these
points.
Scratch Remover
Question: Is there such a thing as
a scratch remover? I am sure I
saw it advertised.
Answer: Yes; but you will have to
inquire about it at your hardware
store. I cannot give trade names in
the column. If you do not find what
you want, try rwming a little varnish
of the right color into the scratch,
using a pointed camel's-hair brush.
Or use the meat of a pecan or Brazil
nut-unsalted, of course.
Bot-Air Registers
Question: Our hot air registers
make the rooms quite dusty. To
catch the dust, I am planning to
place a thickness of mosquito netting
against the pipe inside the register.
Would this check the flow of hot air,
and should we have to burn more
fuel.
Answer: Two thicknesses of black
mosquito netting placed back of the
hot air register may have a slight
effect on the flow of heat, but not
en&lt;"ugh to cause ar.. appreciable in--~.li in fuel consumption.

Phenothiazillt 1:. Versatile Drug
"The ideal anthelmintic of worm

current Yearbook of the U. S. de-·
partment of agriculture, "would
have no injurious action whatsoever
on the host and yEo&gt;t would kill all
or practically all the parasites harbored by the animal. Such a drug
has not yet been di~covered. The

years, which appears to be the most

"This drug, administered in proper

The famous 14 points assailed by
Hitler were first outlined to coniress
by President Wilson in January,
1918. These points which Wilson believed necessary to a post-war settlement were, briefly: 1. Open treaties
through open international diplomacy. 2. Freedom of the seas. 3.
Free international trade. 4, Disarmament. 5. Impartial adjustment of
colonial claims. 6. Evacuation of
Russian territory. 7. Evacuation of
Belgium. 8. Evacuation of French
territory and return of Alsace-Lorraine to France. 9. Readjustment of

New York Indians Raise
Most All Their Provisions
Indians of the Six Nations Federation, still farming small parts of r.t
their original lands in New York J ~
state, set a good wartime example :
for their rural neighbors by growing ~
nearly all the food they use at home.
Families of the red-skinned tribes
that first taught white men to grow :,
corn, to save them from starvation, ljJ
are still growing corn and beans and :
squash as they did centuries ago, ~
along with potatoes, small grains, :
and their flocks of chickens and pigs ~
for meat.
:
As most of the Indian land is ~
owned by the tribe, not by the fam- :
ily, few Indians have been able to ~
buy machinery for large-scale farm :
production, Says Prof. F. P. Bussell
of the New York State college of ~
agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y.
~
To get their other necessities, the :
Indians now living on reservations
have long worked on railroads, in ~
sawmills, and in other work near Jt
their homes. Today many Indi- :
ans work in war industries during
the day, and carry on their sub- Jt
sistence farming evenings and
week-ends.

Wisconsin forests, now partinlly
restored, wiil be protected from exploitation to meet the wartime timber market if a program proposed
by the state con~;ervation commission becomes .affective, the Amencan Society of Pla,.mir.g Officials
said.
So great have been demonds for
wood and lumber rtcently in the
state-as in other lur1bcr producing
states-that Wisconsin forestry authorities fear reforesta tiun work of
the last 10 years may b(' endangered, especially in the northern
counties.
The forest-saving program consists of voluntary agreements by
producers and users of timber and
forest products that they will aid
in conserving the state's forests during the war period.
Under one agreement, proposed to
120 wood-using industries and timber operators, buyers and users of
forest products would reject tim~er
which does not meet certain specifications according to size. Spruce,
balsam, pine and tamarack, for example, would not be accepted for
pulpwood unless more than four
inches in diameter, and hemlock,
five inches.

Shorts Issued to Troops by Army
Knee-length trousers now are being issued for the first time in history by the United States army for
wear by troops in certain areas, the
war department announces.
The
cotton khaki shorts are cut to a

somewhat similar to those worn by
British soldiers in tropical and desert areas.
They have unusually

the Service Men
of Crete Township:

Since I have only been in Crete six years, I do not know all of
you personally. but I do know that many of l/OU have come up
through our Crete schools and are interested in our school pro~ram.
We had a "red hot" basketball jlame Friday, Jan. 8. with Grant
Park. The game was a see-saw affair with Crete winning io the
final minute of play by a score of 32 to 30. Manv of the bo.vs on
the team were little boys when you were in school, put they have
grown up now and they have really been playing basketball.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation for yonr efforts
in making this project of the Lions Club a success.

is on the economical heating of a
house, of which the occupants are
away for eight hours each day. The
argument is on whether the thermostat should be set to maintain an
even heat at all times, or whether
it should be turned down during the
day. Another question is on the advisability of shutting off the heat in
the rooms that might not be in use.
Like so many arguments, the answer
depends on the conditions. Usually,
the heat can be turned down a little,
but it must be remembered that the
heat lost by the house as it cools
must be made up when the house
is again occupied. If cooling goes
too far, the fuel burned in raising
it to comfortable temperature will
be more than is saved. When the
heat of a closed room is turned off,
its walls and floor may become so
chilled that the adjoining rooms will
be affected. In this particular case,
the thermostat can be lowered by
five degrees for the period when the
house is empty. But more than that
would not be an economy.
Closing a House
Question: I am planning to leave
my home very soon, not returning
until April, and should like to know
the best way to leave it.
Answer:
All water should be
drained out of the plumbing and
heating systems. The job is best
done by a plumber who will blow out,
with air pressure, all water that remains in pipe loops and bends. Fill
all drain traps with oil, kerosene or
one of the non-evaporative, nonfreeze compounds used in automobile radiators. Get rid of all liquids,
in bottles and containers, which are
likely to freeze. Have the electr'icity
and gas shut off. Notify the police
that your house will be unoccupied.
Scatter several pounds of moth balls
in each room and on the beds and
furniture to keep mice away; they
hate the odor. Fasten a box ov~r
the chimney top to keep out squirrels
(if any) and birds. Remember to
take it off when you return in the
spring.
Plumbing Stops Up
Question: About once a week the
water in the bathroom will not drain.
The tub, bowl and basin are all on
one drain and get stopped up. There
does not seem to be anything wrong
with the septic tank. I have used
every kind of cleaner without success. Can you help us?
Answer: The use of drain cleaners
in any quantity will stop the bacterial action in a septic tank. Try the
following treatment: Dissolve six
yeast cakes in a basin full of lukewarm (not hot) water and let it run
down the drain. Do this again after
three days. When the septic tank is
working again as it should, give it a
dose cf yeast every six weeks. If
this does not help, the whole trouble
may come from defective plumbing.
Have a reliable plumber make an
examination.
Dirty Air Valves
Question: I believe that my radiator air valves need cleaning. I intended to soak them in kerosene for
24 hours, then drain and dry them
thoroughly. A steam fitter tells me
he gets best results by boiling the
valves in vinegar. Which would
you advise?
Answer: The vinegar method is
used widely and gives satisfactory
results. But I prefer soaking the
valves i!l clear gasoline or benzine
(being careful of fire, of course) for
about 15 minutes; then ''work" them
around in the liquid for a minute or
so, drain and dry.
Loose Rock Wool
Question: I have purchased loose
rock wool to insulate my attic ceiling. I was advised against using
moistureproof paper under the insulation. Since then I have read some
article saying that paper is necessary. Can you advise me?
Answer: If there is a great deal
of humidity in the aii of the house,
a vaporproof (not moistureproof) paper is needed. But if the house air
is dry such precautions are not necessary. Heavy condensation on windows during cold weather would
show that there is much humidity
in the air of the house.
Stained Wallpaper
Question: How can water spots be
removed from wallpaper?
Answer: The stains will be almost
impossible to remove. If you can
duplicate the paper, have your paper
hanger put a patch over the stained
part.

Incidentally, Ginger Rogers deserves a few laurels for following
in Bette Davis' footsteps and letting
herself be photographed as a gawky,
unglamorous youngster in "The Major and the Minor." Proved that,
tnough her fa.ce may not always be

prophecies have been his forecast of
about three quadrillion dollars'
worth of gold to be taken from sea
water, inter-planetary travel, age
control and the end of indigestion by
the use of hormones. His achievements, which are many, include his
discovery of tetraethyl lead as a
gasoline anti-knock compound, his
development of non-toxic and noninflammable refrigerants and his
many contributions to basic reSP.arch in synthetic rubber proc·
esses.
As to the mundane outlook in
general, Dr. Midgley takes the
cheerful view that the potential
creativeness and productiveness
of science, with its command of
new energies and processes, will
clear the way for peace and
abundance in spite of our collective stupidities and villainies.
These alluring, if remote, horizons, Dr. Midgley sees from his
wheel chair in Worthington,
Ohio, having been stricken with
inlantile paralysis in 1940. Thus
amicted, he has continued his
research, with no slackening of
either work or fervor, and a possibly heightened belief in some
kind of happy ending, or rather
fulfillment for the comedie bumaine. His story would be a
case in point for Thomas Mann,
who says the calmest faith and
truest personal integrity is at.
tained through suffering.
In Cornell university, where he
was graduated in 1911, it was said
that young Midgley would coast
along through routine work, but was
always busy on something out of the
groove-some idea of his own. This
inclined him quickly to research and
before he had been out of college a
year he was threading the subatomic maze of synthetic rubber. It
was in the years from 1922 to 1926
that he brought through his knockless gasoline, which bloomed into
the impressive ethyl gasoline industry, with headquarters at Detroit, of
which industry he is vice president.
ln his wheel chair, he is a big business executive, with special telephone rigs to make his inter-office
communication around the country
easy and casual-like everything
else about him.
Speaking of attainment through
ft·ustration, he worked with tellurium when he was bringing through
his non-toxic refrigerants and that
permeated his genial person with a
powerful odor of garlic. He took
scientific measures-something like
protective coloring. When he traveled, he found in the smoking car
the closest possible concentration of
bad cigars. The fragrance of garlic
was just a harmless added \Starter
here, and nobody noticed him. He
is resourceful, diligent, optimistic.

Bataisk on Caucasus Edge,
Engulfed by Nazi Swarms
Bataisk, engulfed in the Nazi
sweep into the Caucasus region, is
seven miles southeast of Rostov,
Caucasus gateway city.
Bataisk was to Rostov the "town
across the river" that almost every large river port boasts and belittles. Because of the wide band
of marsh land that borders most of
the Don's lower reaches, Bataisk's
founders could not find room on
the river bank directly facing Rostov. They had to locate inland on
\lrm ground at the edge of the dry
North Caucasus farm country.
Therefore, the town was denied the
river trade that helped to make
Rostov a teeming port the size of
Newark, N. J.
To make up for the obstacle to
river trade imposed by the Don
swamps, Bataisk became important
as a crossroads of rail lines. It is
on the north-south routes from Moscow to Caucasus oil centers, one by
way of Kharkov and the other by
way of Voronezh. The railroad
winding southwestward from Stalingrad through the productive farm
belt of the North Caucasus to the
port of Azov on the Don also passes
through the town.
Freeze Fruit Without Sugar
A housewife can keep her sugar
ration untouched it she preserves
some fruits in a freezer locker, according to H. C. Diehl of the Western Regional Research laboratory
of the department of agriculture.
Although fruit for freezing is usually combined with sugar or sugar
syrup, it will freeze successfully in
some kinds of corn syrup or mildflavored honey.
High conversion
corn syrups, those high in dextrose,
are especially suitable. Because
corn syrup is less sweet than ordinary sugar, enough can be used to
give the fruit firmness and high
gloss without making it oversweet
to the taste. Mild flavored honey
combines well with fruit in freezing,
but strong flavored darker honey
may mask the natural fruit flavor.
Some fruits freeze successfully
with no added sweetening. All the
berries except strawberries can be
put up in the freezer locker without
sugar, corn syrup, honey or other
sweetenmg. Some sugar can be
added later when the fruit is served
for dessert, unless the family has
learned to enjoy eating fruit "as is."

Busy Railroad Stations
Many factors would have to be
considered to give a definite statement regarding the largest railroad
stations in this country, such as area
covered, passenger traffic, roads entering terminal, etc. On the basis of
passenger traffic, the Pennsylvania
and Grand Central stations in New
York city would be classified as two
of the largest. Among other large
stations are the South Station in Boston, the Union Station in St. Louis,
the Union station in Chicago, the La

North Western station in Chicago,
the Kansas City Terminal in Kansas City, 30th Street station in Philadelphia and North station in Boston. There are many other outstandmg stations all over the country.

By constructing models of cities
and c.ity plans, industrial arts students of Milwaukee's 7th to 12th
grades are learning the principles
of city design and its expression of
civic consciousness. The city planning program acts as a "core sub·
ject" in the industrial arts classes,
according to the American Society
of Planning Officials, and is de·
s•gned to give the students some
idea of the "pattern for America
tomorrow," both at the city level
and for the country as a whole. Recently the clas;:;es completed a

WORLD FEDERATION:

GIRAUD:

Asked by Wallace

Assures Unity

Ever since his "quart of milk a
day" speech forecasting bettered
conditions for the world's underprivUeged, Vice President Henry A.
Wallace has been regarded as a No.
l administration spokesman on postwar reconstruction.
Thus his latest address proposing
a world council to preserve peace
and promote the general welfare after the war received close inspection
In world chancellories, for it was
taken as a major administration
statement of future plans.
Wallace's recipe for international
organization after the war: "The
maximum of home rule that can be
maintained along with the minimum
of centralized authority that must
come into existence to give the necessary protection."
The vice president outlined a fourfold objective for future peace: "To
preserve the liberty, equality, security and unity of the United Nations-liberty in the political sense;
equality of opportunity in international trade; security against war
and business depression due to international causes; and unity of purpose in promoting the general welfare of the world."
Concerning the treatment of defeated nations he advocated not only
military but "psychological disarmament."
For the American people, Wallace
said, "the war is entering its grimmest phase" where we will learn
for the first time the meaning of war
privations. But, he added, Hitler's
"desperate bid for a Nazi world
order has reached and passed its
highest point."

4-WAY OFFENSIVE:
By Russ Armies
The Russians continued to prove
that while the summer might have
belonged to the invading Nazi hosts,
tht' winter was the season for Red
revival.
Four strong Soviet armies were
proving this in four separate drives
against the cold and weary Germans. These offensives sprung with
the purpose of destroying Nazi manpower and equipment and weakening Hitler's hold on the Eastern
front were centered on the Rzhev
sector, in the Stalingrad area, in
the reaches of the Middle Don and
in the central Caucasus.
The central Caucasus drive was
the newest on the Red schedule and
was started south of Nalchik, where
Nazi armored mountain units had
been trying unsuccessfully for weeks
to break through to the Georgian
military highway in Transcaucasia.
Most significant news came from
the Stalingrad area, however, for
Russian communiques reported the
capture of Kotelnikovski, key transportation town anchoring a 200-mile
stretch of the Stalingrad-Caucasus
railroad and a supply depot for the
Nazis' eastern operations. Here big
stores of Axis supplies were taken
over by the Reds. From Kotelnikovski the Russians began a spearhead
drive toward Rostov.
Meanwhile the Red encirclement
of 22 German divisions trapped before Stalingrad was tightened by
Russ advances of from 37 to 58 miles
from the southwest.

HIGHLIGHTS
WASHINGTON: The navy department announced that dive bombers
from Gt.oddalcanal had sunk a 3,000ton Japanese vessel near Wickham
1sland in the central Solomons. The
·iestruction of the ship raised the
• lUmber of Japanese vessels sunk in
he Solomons to 54. Wickham island

ClASSIFIED

Little Pan i,. Bz;,~·ing

Gen. Henri Giraud had been the
Allies' original choice for the post
of high commissioner of North Africa. Then the bullet of the 20-yearold assassin that killed Adm. Jean
Darlan made Giraud's selection inevitable by the French imperial
council.
That the elevation of Giraud to the
slain Darlan's post had a unifying
effect was immediately manifest.
Not only did the French North African civil and military forces rally
behind the new commissioner, but
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of
the
Fighting
French,
quickly
pledged his support of Giraud's regime and urged the formation of a
temporary government to unite all
French elements.
While the murder of Darlan undeniably settled the controversy raging through the United Nations over
the North African alliance of the Allies and the ex-Vichy collaborationist, observers believed that before
his death Darlan had honestly reca.'1ted his former views and was
wholeheartedly leading his forces
for the liberation of France. And
they defended the wisdom of General Eisenhower's first alliance with
Darlan.

Fenrs that a nation-wide scrambh
of housewives to buy canned food
stuffs would develop following offi
cia! d isclosure that a point ration·
ing system would be inaugurated ir
February failed to materialize as re·
ports from retail grocers indicated
only isolated instances of panic buy·
ing.
Announcement of the ration plan
which covers more than 20tJ canned
food items made by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard had
been attacked by trade representatives as "premature" and almost
certain to result in public hoarding
and unfair distribution of available
supplies.
Federal authorities defended the
advance announcement on the
ground that complicated controls
were necessary to administer the
program. They contended, too, that
if the public were not notified, rumors might circulate and cause hysterical purchasing.
Grocers attributed the absence of
panic buying to two major reasons.
One was the government's requirement that before a rationing book
could be issued, any hoarded goods
had to be declared and the equivalent number of rationing coupons
surrendered at the time of registration. The other was that any case
of hoarding where false representation was made, might be p\Dlishable
by a maximum fine of $10,000 ·or one
year in prison or both.

Although tropical sunshine had
dried the surface of Tunisia's boggy
roads, the gumbo mud continued to
hamper free movement of either the
Allied or Axis forces. Principal
strategic key was the town of Medjez-el-Bab, where General Dwight
Eisenhower's army was endeavoring
to anchor its positions for the coming all-out offensive against strongly
held Tunis and Bizerte. That these
positions could not be won without
fierce struggles was indicated by reports that the Allied forces had
withdrawn from an advanced hill six

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N.W.,
Washington, D. C.
As the ship of state pulls out of
the holiqay doldrums, skipper and
crew are setting their jaws for rough
weather. There are cross currents
ahead in the new congress which
are goin g ,to set the old ship rocking.
Symbolic of conflicting movements, the debate of which will soon
be filling the Congressional Record,
are these two: A proposed bill to
bring labor unions into the restricting pale of legislation such as business has to contend with under the
anti-trust laws, and a social security
program which some say will outBeveridge England's new Beveridge
plan. That program, its author, Sir
William Beveridge says, is "in some
ways a revolution."
The "holiday doldrums" I mentioned were not enirely a seasonal
affair this year. There was the usual letdown while congress went home
and the nation turned to festal
thoughts. There was also a premeditated lull which was necessitated by the turnover in the last
election. The administration knew
that no matter what was done in
the interim between November and
January, it would, in some measure,
be undone when anti-administration
Democrats and the increased Republican minority got together in the
new congress.

CASUALTY LISTS:
Confident that the American public can "take bad news," government officials revealed that the ban
on nation-wide publication of war
casualty and prisoner lists had been
lifted.
The new policy, officials said,
would permit publication anywhere
and in their entirety, lists of men
killed, wounded, missing or taken
prisoner. Previously newspapers had
been restricted to publishing the
names of men whose next of kin
lived in their particular circulation
area.
Explaining the new ruling, one
spokesman declared it had been determined that the publication of casualty lists would not jeopardize national security and moreover, "the
public has enough stamina and fortitude to take the bad news of long
casualty lists if the papers care to
publish them."

DEPARTMENT

Stop-Gap Arranged
Since manpower is the prime considerati :m of the moment, a stop-gap
was artanged. With much fanfare
Manpower Commissioner McNutt
was given new powers and a farflung p:rogram was ballyhooed. But
it was mostly ballyhoo and just before Christmas wide publicity was
given to a document which was obviously the forewarning that much
stricter regimentation of labor was
in the wind. The long-postponed,
but inevitable, national service act
raised its head again.
The document was a draft of a
bill made by Grenville Clark, an atton;ey who suddenly emerged as a
presidential advisor.
It was announced that he made a special trip
to England to study the British manpower setup. Clark remained silent
until just before Christmas and after
congress had gone home, but every
congressman received a copy of the
proposed legislation.
About two weeks earlier, shortly
titer the Beveridge report was
made public, a cabinet officer was
heard to remark: "We've got to get
busy and draw up a program that
fits America's needs a little better
than the Beveridge plan would."
But the lull was still lulling then
and when the President was asked
at a press and radio conference if
he were preparing a message for
congress on the subject-that was
about the time of the remark of the
cabinet member-he said "no."
The Beveridge plan was the natural result of the Battle of Britain.
Then a common danger brought the
British people closer together. The
underfed, underclothed and underhoused had to be taken care of.
Class lines don't exist in the shambles. A bombed-out duchess can
be as cold and hungry as a waif.
The poor suddenly realized that if
they could be taken care of as well
or better in an emergency, they
ought to have a little better distribution of the ordinary decencies of life
in prosperous peacE\ times. Wise
leaders didn't wait until the war was
over to face angry demands which
might turn into real revolution. Sir
William Beveridge's committee drew
up the blueprint for what they called
"a British revo~ution" in the coun1 try's economic setup under which,
as one spokesman described it, "the
people would contribute by their
'lwn preference, to a national insurunce fund rather than take a handmt from the state."

Assurance'
The goal of the Beveridge plan is
to lay the ghost of insecurity by
means of "assurance." Assurance

ROY C. HEGGESTAD, Agent
2003 Wlnnebae:o St.

That is one trend we can look for.
Running counter to it on the surface,
but really also shooting at the
"greatest good for the greatest number" is the trend toward regulation
of organized labor. Probably a dozen
bills have been drawn up, all of
which tend to put the screws on labor
unions. Many liberals feel that the
unions have it coming. The growing
number of strikes in wartime, when
maximum production is a matter of
patriotism as well as necessity, the
existing union rules which tend to
interfere with maximum production, the various "restraints" considered as evil as the "restraint of
trade" resulting from monopolies,
all have been highlighted by war
conditions. Bills will be presented
to root out these ills. Much of the
restriction of unions could be avoided if the unions cleaned their own
house.
In America, as in England, when
a nation is called upon to make the
sacrifices demanded by this war, it
can be expected that the people
will insist on a democratic distribution of opportunity and reward of
effort when peace comes. The war
will also have taught that maximum
production means maximum prosperity. There are plenty of people
to consume peacetime products;
there are plenty of natural resources
whose development can furnish the
jobs for the consumers and provide
the pay which makes it possible
for them to buy what is produced.
Any group or institution-farm, labor, management-which stands in
the way of this maximum production
is bound to have its wings clipped.
Meanwhile, the people will demand
and get greater "assurance" against
rainy days, which come even when
prosperity is with us. And in providing it, if Britain comes along,
America cannot be far behind.

Lockheed officials report that 13
blind workers who are helping build
fighting and bombing planes in the
California plant are in l'ome respects better than average and turn
out more work than their fellows
because of higher concentration. Including two women, these sightless
workers passed a month's placement
test in the Lockheed factory and
are now working as tubing assemblers, burring-roll operators and assemblers of switch boxes. One is a
parts l:tandler on a conveyor in the
paint shop.
Guide dogs bring the blind employees to the plant each morning
and doze aU day beneath their masters' benches. Miss Hazel Hurst,
sightless president of a foundation
for training blind persons, worked
at every job before selecting the
blind worker to be placed in it.
However, the number of jobs they
can perform with safety will always
be limited, she said. Lockheed hopes
to find jobs for more sightless workers.

No sane American .politician, no

In the bills. Clli.V Is warned by Fox Will·
ing, a "nester'' t.e once befriended, that
someone Is stelillng his cattle. Meanwhile
Hack's bhlinr pl.a.:e Is discovered. Char·
ley HIUhou•e, Herendeen's foreman,
rides Into the "Potholes" after blm wiUa
a party lnelu~lnt: Gurd Grant.
Now eontfnlU wttb Ule story.

CllAPTER XIV
The Potholes was a section of land
perhaps ten miles square, composed
of gulches and ridges shapelessly
twisted, as 1hough in olden time an
upthrust of the earth's lower levels
had lifted and dropped this crust.
Grant didn't know the region well
enough to orient himself, but Charley HillhoU!;e was thoroughly at
home, selecting the trails without
pause as he came to them. Crossing
a creek that rose in the Potholes
and died in them, they reached a
meadow and. carefully skirted its
edge. Beyond this meadow the land
again broke up. Charley Hillhouse
lifted a hanti over his head, signaling cautionj a mile forward, coming
to the lip of a deep glen, he waved
his arm by way of command. Grant
stopped, •atching Hillhouse step
from his hot"se and go forward.
Grant diJ.mounted and led the oth·
er men down the trail to the bottom
of the glep. He climbed the far
a;ide slowh&gt;, abreast Hillhouse. Hillbouse poit)ted ahead.
Yonder, in a cup-shaped depression as ) p.rge as a small corral,
stood Hac:~ Breathitt's horse. There
was a df ad fire in the middle of
the deprtssion, and Hack's saddle
gear. H&amp;ck lay beside a log, sound
asleep, with his hat pulled over his
head.
Grant rlropped at the right of HiUhouse, the two other riders crawled
to the f(freman's left and thus the
four of them watched the loosesprawle~ shape of Hack Breathitt.
The Tnree Pines foreman had let
his gun and arm drop along the
ground and on his face lay shadows
darker tnan the dull light of the Potholes. Yet on that face was no
particuho.r sadness and no visible
eagerne...s. All Gurd Grant saw was
a gray, steadfast certainty. Then
Hillhou~,e lifted the gun, sighted it
on Brea(hitt and spoke quietly:
"It is t hell o1 a time to be poundin' your ear, Hack. Wake up."
Soft a" the call was, Hack BreathItt's aw,kening was instant. All in
a motiort he flung his blanket aside,
sprang upriiht and wheeled around,
reachin~ for his gun.
Hillhouse's
ftat w ...rning 1topped Breathitt's
draw.
"Cu1 that out. You're covered
four \\ e.ys."
This was a wrong guess on Charley Hillhouse'• part, for only three
:&gt;f the.m haci drawn on Breathitt.
Gurd Grant, rising as the others
rose, held his arms beside him.
Breathitt's horse grunted when Riley heaved up the latigo strap. A
::row's strident squawking echoed
through the timber. Shade pressed
around them and even though the
day was hall-warm, Gurd Grant felt
a growing chill in his stomach, along
his nerves. He could not help asking
his question.
"What are rou going to do, Charley?"
Hillhouse ignored the question,
whereupon Breathitt's grin showed
very white against his steel-black
etubble.
Breathitt reached into his shirt
pocket, producing cigarette material. He rolled a smoke, still showing
that thin-lipped amusement. He
lighted the cigarette and dragged in
a deep breath of smoke. "You won't
get far with a jury, son. You know
that."
"Yes," said Hillhouse, "I know it.
Riley, bring me his rope."
Riley released the rope from the
thong of Breathitt's saddle. He came
across the depression at a slow, bowlegged stradqJe and handed the rope
to Hillhouse. Hillhouse hooked it
over one arm, keeping his gun free;
he looked upward at the trees a
moment, then back to Breathitt.
..Better get on your horse, Hack."
"No," said Hack, "I guess not."
••Listen," said Hillhouse in a
jumpy, hard-pressed tone, "make it
easy for a man. What you think I'm
thinkin' about now, Hack? What
you suppose I feelf"
Breathitt showed his old partner
an iron insolence, a black cutting
wisdom. There was something in
that look ~hich none of them, long
as they lived, could ever answer,
or ever forget. Hack said: "There's
a knot in your head and no thin' can

memory, too-and this is something
you won't shake loose. It'll go to
bed with you and it'll kill your sleep
and it'll make your grub taste like
sawdust and all the drinkin' in the
world won't drown it. Take a good
long look at your peace of mind,
Charley. It's the last you'll ever
see of it."
"Get on the horse," said Hillhouse.
Hack smoked his cigarette to the
bitter end, tossed it into the dust.
"Before the week's out you'll wish
to God you were in my place. Never
mind the horse, Charley."
Hillhouse pulled his feet together
and dropped the rope. His chin
came up and the gun slowly rose in
his hand.
He fired three times, shoving
the gun toward his target as
though he could not get it done
quickly enough.
Shocked windless, Gurd Grant
saw the foreman's lips pull back at
each shot., saw his face snap into
grotesque and operunouthed expressions of craziness such as he had
never seen on any man's face before. The shot echoes pounded along
the corridors of the pine forest.
Hack bowed his head and bent his
Imees as though to kneel. Half-kneeling, he fell forward.
Hillhouse walked toward him, the
gun sagging at full arm's length.
He removed his hat and stood this
way, staring down at the dead
Breathitt. He said: "Well, he had
the last word, like always." And
then his lips framed silent words.
The vitality left his face. When he
looked around to the others he
seemed faintly dazed. He said:
"We'll take him back to the ranch
and get a wagon and run him into
War Pass. His family are all buried in the cemetery, which is where
he should be. These Potholes ain't
fit for any white man."
Gurd Grant swung around, physically sick, and slid down the ravine.
He had to stop here long enou~h to
lose his breakfast and catch h:~
wind. Climbing out of the ravine,
he reached his horse and turned it
back on the trail. This was pretty
much a wilderness to him but he
was so ab;;orbed by what he had
seen that F:te let the horse have its
own head, and so eventually he
came out of the Potholes on Herendeen's range. Turning right, he
threaded through the Haycreek Hills
and reached his own place. He left
the horse in front of the house. Going up the stairs he heard Catherine
call from the kitchen. She came to
the hall and saw his dead-white face
swing around.
"Gurd-what's the matter?"
"Nothing," he said. "Nothing."
"You're lying."
"Let me alone," he rasped out
and went up the stairs. He locked
the door of his room, slowly pacing
back and forth.
Lige White, who loved hunting as
he loved few things, returned to his
ranch that day and turned a, fat
mule deer over to the cook. He
had been gone from the house since
two that morning, riding down some
of the constant physical restlessness
wl.ich seldom permiUed him to remain long in one spot. He ate a
late dinner in the kitchen and afterwards sat on the front porch to
smoke a cigar, meanwhile listening
to the soft t&gt;tep of his wife as she
m{)ved around the .second floor of
the house, engaged ln those endless
little occupations which seemed to
fill her day.
He pitched the cigar across the
porch and entered me house. She
was on the seconc1 floor, moving
around from room to room, but
when he went up the stairs he found
her seated in her own bedroom with
a pile of darning on her lap. She
had heard him come and this was
her way of throwing up a guard
against him.
He stood half-across the room
blackhai:I'ed and smiling, favorabl~
enough m the eyes of most women
watching her face come up from th~
pretense of work. Her voice cool
as it was, never failed to sti; him
"Did you have good luck?"
·
"Nice fat one."
He said: "Old girl, you're a hell
of a good-loolcing woman, do you
know?"
Her voice wouldn't let the silence
remain. It hurried back to him.

"The peaches should be picked. I
think I'll turn Joe loose on them tomorrow. We'll can a lot of them,
of course. But it would be nice if
you loaded up a wagon of them and
went around to the neighbors."
"What neighbors?" he said, shak·
ing his head. "It is a poor word to
describe what they are now, to each
other. Herendeen and Morgan are
ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
Gurd's got it in for Morgan over
something-! don't know what. We
are going to have a fight and I hate
to consider it."
She said: "You should know the
reason for it, Ltge."
"Why yes," he answered. "Herende~n wants to clean up the range
and Morgan is a little shy on comin' in."
She said: "No, Lige. In the beginning it was over a woman, Lila.
And now it is over another woman,
Catherine."
He looked down at her, closely
thinking it over. "Lila-maybe yes.
But Catherine. I doubt that. He's
closer to the McGarrah girl."
"There's one thing you don't know,
Lige. Catherine was his first girl
Even before Lila. She still is. i
don't know if he realizes that. I
don't know if he understands why
he is so bitter against Herendeen,
or why Herendeen hates him so.
It is Catherine, Lige."
He said: "You're damned pretty,
sitting there."
She gathered up the darning and
rose, turning to a corner of the
room. "I ought to go down and see
what Chin's cooking for dinner."
He came over the room. Hearing
his quick steps she swung around,
her_ face dark-set and stiff. Lige
Wh1te showed her his quick smile,
he showed her the gay, excited and
unruly expression she knew so welL
There was that insistence in him,
that quick need. He put his hand on
her shoulder, compelling her to
come toward him. He said, voice
giving him away, "Don't freeze me
out, Grace."
She whirled back from him, retreating until she had reached a
wall. She put her shoulders to the
wall and it was this picture that
hurt Lige White, the sight of his
wife shrinking away, actually in
fear, with that darkness on her face
and that adamant pride in her eyes,
as though she hated the things in
his mind then. It took all the drive
out of him, it swung him around .
At the door he turned, once more
covering up his feelings , speaking
as though none of this had happened.
"I'm going over to see Herendee n,
and .maybe Gurd. Probably be gone
overnight."
She remained hy the wall until he
had left the room, listening to the
crush of his feet on the stairs. Afterwards, posted at a corner of the window so that he wouldn't see her,
she watched him ride out of the
yard and settle the horse into a
singlefooted dancing across the Fanolango Desert. As long as he was
in sight she stood by the window.
When the corrals and barns cut
him from view she dropped the
darning material from her hands
and crossed to the bureau mirror
She placed her hands on the bureau
top, watching \'be way her face remained set and dark. She said,
"Why is it always like that?" and
slowly turned from the room. ChiP
had left a broom and pan in thP
~all; she bent to pick up the pan
and saw the uncollected dust along
the floor. She went down to thr
kitchen and filled a pail with water
and got a rag from a closet and
lugged the pail up the stairs, kneel·
ing on the hall.
She had forgotten about her dres.s,
or she didn't care. She drenched
the rag and slowly scrubbed the
floor, not wit~ very much meihod;
she kept pushmg the rag around and
around the same spot, and her lips
were tight-placed and tears showed
in her '!yes. She said, "This started
long ago. Why do I always push
him away? I always dirl. Now he
goes somewhere else. It is too late."
She moved along the hall, water
staining her dress. Her hair loosened at the edges, coming across
her forehead. Chin called up the
stairs. "Miss Lige White, what you
do there?"
She cried, "Get back to the kitchen," and was openly crying.

the Service Men
of Crete Township:

Since I have only been in Crete six years, I do not know all of
you personally. but I do know that many of l/OU have come up
through our Crete schools and are interested in our school pro~ram.
We had a "red hot" basketball jlame Friday, Jan. 8. with Grant
Park. The game was a see-saw affair with Crete winning io the
final minute of play by a score of 32 to 30. Manv of the bo.vs on
the team were little boys when you were in school, put they have
grown up now and they have really been playing basketball.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation for yonr efforts
in making this project of the Lions Club a success.
Yours for victory;

is on the economical heating of a
house, of which the occupants are
away for eight hours each day. The
argument is on whether the thermostat should be set to maintain an
even heat at all times, or whether
it should be turned down during the
day. Another question is on the advisability of shutting off the heat in
the rooms that might not be in use.
Like so many arguments, the answer
depends on the conditions. Usually,
the heat can be turned down a little,
but it must be remembered that the
heat lost by the house as it cools
must be made up when the house
is again occupied. If cooling goes
too far, the fuel burned in raising
it to comfortable temperature will
be more than is saved. When the
heat of a closed room is turned off,
its walls and floor may become so
chilled that the adjoining rooms will
be affected. In this particular case,
the thermostat can be lowered by
five degrees for the period when the
house is empty. But more than that
would not be an economy.
Closing a House
Question: I am planning to leave
my home very soon, not returning
until April, and should like to know
the best way to leave it.
Answer:
All water should be
drained out of the plumbing and
heating systems. The job is best
done by a plumber who will blow out,
with air pressure, all water that remains in pipe loops and bends. Fill
all drain traps with oil, kerosene or
one of the non-evaporative, nonfreeze compounds used in automobile radiators. Get rid of all liquids,
in bottles and containers, which are
likely to freeze. Have the electr'icity
and gas shut off. Notify the police
that your house will be unoccupied.
Scatter several pounds of moth balls
in each room and on the beds and
furniture to keep mice away; they
hate the odor. Fasten a box ov~r
the chimney top to keep out squirrels
(if any) and birds. Remember to
take it off when you return in the
spring.
Plumbing Stops Up
Question: About once a week the
water in the bathroom will not drain.
The tub, bowl and basin are all on
one drain and get stopped up. There
does not seem to be anything wrong
with the septic tank. I have used
every kind of cleaner without success. Can you help us?
Answer: The use of drain cleaners
in any quantity will stop the bacterial action in a septic tank. Try the
following treatment: Dissolve six
yeast cakes in a basin full of lukewarm (not hot) water and let it run
down the drain. Do this again after
three days. When the septic tank is
working again as it should, give it a
dose cf yeast every six weeks. If
this does not help, the whole trouble
may come from defective plumbing.
Have a reliable plumber make an
examination.
Dirty Air Valves
Question: I believe that my radiator air valves need cleaning. I intended to soak them in kerosene for
24 hours, then drain and dry them
thoroughly. A steam fitter tells me
he gets best results by boiling the
valves in vinegar. Which would
you advise?
Answer: The vinegar method is
used widely and gives satisfactory
results. But I prefer soaking the
valves i!l clear gasoline or benzine
(being careful of fire, of course) for
about 15 minutes; then ''work" them
around in the liquid for a minute or
so, drain and dry.
Loose Rock Wool
Question: I have purchased loose
rock wool to insulate my attic ceiling. I was advised against using
moistureproof paper under the insulation. Since then I have read some
article saying that paper is necessary. Can you advise me?
Answer: If there is a great deal
of humidity in the aii of the house,
a vaporproof (not moistureproof) paper is needed. But if the house air
is dry such precautions are not necessary. Heavy condensation on windows during cold weather would
show that there is much humidity
in the air of the house.
Stained Wallpaper
Question: How can water spots be
removed from wallpaper?
Answer: The stains will be almost
impossible to remove. If you can
duplicate the paper, have your paper
hanger put a patch over the stained
part.

Incidentally, Ginger Rogers deserves a few laurels for following
in Bette Davis' footsteps and letting
herself be photographed as a gawky,
unglamorous youngster in "The Major and the Minor." Proved that,
tnough her fa.ce may not always be
pretty, it can't help being interesting. Which is more than can be said
for some of our screen stars, who'd

prophecies have been his forecast of
about three quadrillion dollars'
worth of gold to be taken from sea
water, inter-planetary travel, age
control and the end of indigestion by
the use of hormones. His achievements, which are many, include his
discovery of tetraethyl lead as a
gasoline anti-knock compound, his
development of non-toxic and noninflammable refrigerants and his
many contributions to basic reSP.arch in synthetic rubber proc·
esses.
As to the mundane outlook in
general, Dr. Midgley takes the
cheerful view that the potential
creativeness and productiveness
of science, with its command of
new energies and processes, will
clear the way for peace and
abundance in spite of our collective stupidities and villainies.
These alluring, if remote, horizons, Dr. Midgley sees from his
wheel chair in Worthington,
Ohio, having been stricken with
inlantile paralysis in 1940. Thus
amicted, he has continued his
research, with no slackening of
either work or fervor, and a possibly heightened belief in some
kind of happy ending, or rather
fulfillment for the comedie bumaine. His story would be a
case in point for Thomas Mann,
who says the calmest faith and
truest personal integrity is at.
tained through suffering.
In Cornell university, where he
was graduated in 1911, it was said
that young Midgley would coast
along through routine work, but was
always busy on something out of the
groove-some idea of his own. This
inclined him quickly to research and
before he had been out of college a
year he was threading the subatomic maze of synthetic rubber. It
was in the years from 1922 to 1926
that he brought through his knockless gasoline, which bloomed into
the impressive ethyl gasoline industry, with headquarters at Detroit, of
which industry he is vice president.
ln his wheel chair, he is a big business executive, with special telephone rigs to make his inter-office
communication around the country
easy and casual-like everything
else about him.
Speaking of attainment through
ft·ustration, he worked with tellurium when he was bringing through
his non-toxic refrigerants and that
permeated his genial person with a
powerful odor of garlic. He took
scientific measures-something like
protective coloring. When he traveled, he found in the smoking car
the closest possible concentration of
bad cigars. The fragrance of garlic
was just a harmless added \Starter
here, and nobody noticed him. He
is resourceful, diligent, optimistic.

Bataisk on Caucasus Edge,
Engulfed by Nazi Swarms
Bataisk, engulfed in the Nazi
sweep into the Caucasus region, is
seven miles southeast of Rostov,
Caucasus gateway city.
Bataisk was to Rostov the "town
across the river" that almost every large river port boasts and belittles. Because of the wide band
of marsh land that borders most of
the Don's lower reaches, Bataisk's
founders could not find room on
the river bank directly facing Rostov. They had to locate inland on
\lrm ground at the edge of the dry
North Caucasus farm country.
Therefore, the town was denied the
river trade that helped to make
Rostov a teeming port the size of
Newark, N. J.
To make up for the obstacle to
river trade imposed by the Don
swamps, Bataisk became important
as a crossroads of rail lines. It is
on the north-south routes from Moscow to Caucasus oil centers, one by
way of Kharkov and the other by
way of Voronezh. The railroad
winding southwestward from Stalingrad through the productive farm
belt of the North Caucasus to the
port of Azov on the Don also passes
through the town.
Freeze Fruit Without Sugar
A housewife can keep her sugar
ration untouched it she preserves
some fruits in a freezer locker, according to H. C. Diehl of the Western Regional Research laboratory
of the department of agriculture.
Although fruit for freezing is usually combined with sugar or sugar
syrup, it will freeze successfully in
some kinds of corn syrup or mildflavored honey.
High conversion
corn syrups, those high in dextrose,
are especially suitable. Because
corn syrup is less sweet than ordinary sugar, enough can be used to
give the fruit firmness and high
gloss without making it oversweet
to the taste. Mild flavored honey
combines well with fruit in freezing,
but strong flavored darker honey
may mask the natural fruit flavor.
Some fruits freeze successfully
with no added sweetening. All the
berries except strawberries can be
put up in the freezer locker without
sugar, corn syrup, honey or other
sweetenmg. Some sugar can be
added later when the fruit is served
for dessert, unless the family has
learned to enjoy eating fruit "as is."

Busy Railroad Stations
Many factors would have to be
considered to give a definite statement regarding the largest railroad
stations in this country, such as area
covered, passenger traffic, roads entering terminal, etc. On the basis of
passenger traffic, the Pennsylvania
and Grand Central stations in New
York city would be classified as two
of the largest. Among other large
stations are the South Station in Boston, the Union Station in St. Louis,
the Union station in Chicago, the La
Salle Street station in Chicago, the
North Western station in Chicago,
the Kansas City Terminal in Kansas City, 30th Street station in Philadelphia and North station in Boston. There are many other outstandmg stations all over the country.

By constructing models of cities

of city design and its expression of
civic consciousness. The city planning program acts as a "core sub·

according to the American Society
of Planning Officials, and is de·
s•gned to give the students some
idea of the "pattern for America

Asked by Wallace

Assures Unity

Ever since his "quart of milk a
day" speech forecasting bettered
conditions for the world's underprivUeged, Vice President Henry A.
Wallace has been regarded as a No.
l administration spokesman on postwar reconstruction.
Thus his latest address proposing
a world council to preserve peace
and promote the general welfare after the war received close inspection
In world chancellories, for it was
taken as a major administration
statement of future plans.
Wallace's recipe for international
organization after the war: "The
maximum of home rule that can be
maintained along with the minimum
of centralized authority that must
come into existence to give the necessary protection."
The vice president outlined a fourfold objective for future peace: "To
preserve the liberty, equality, security and unity of the United Nations-liberty in the political sense;
equality of opportunity in international trade; security against war
and business depression due to international causes; and unity of purpose in promoting the general welfare of the world."
Concerning the treatment of defeated nations he advocated not only
military but "psychological disarmament."
For the American people, Wallace
said, "the war is entering its grimmest phase" where we will learn
for the first time the meaning of war
privations. But, he added, Hitler's
"desperate bid for a Nazi world
order has reached and passed its
highest point."

4-WAY OFFENSIVE:
By Russ Armies
The Russians continued to prove
that while the summer might have
belonged to the invading Nazi hosts,
tht' winter was the season for Red
revival.
Four strong Soviet armies were
proving this in four separate drives
against the cold and weary Germans. These offensives sprung with
the purpose of destroying Nazi manpower and equipment and weakening Hitler's hold on the Eastern
front were centered on the Rzhev
sector, in the Stalingrad area, in
the reaches of the Middle Don and
in the central Caucasus.
The central Caucasus drive was
the newest on the Red schedule and
was started south of Nalchik, where
Nazi armored mountain units had
been trying unsuccessfully for weeks
to break through to the Georgian
military highway in Transcaucasia.
Most significant news came from
the Stalingrad area, however, for
Russian communiques reported the
capture of Kotelnikovski, key transportation town anchoring a 200-mile
stretch of the Stalingrad-Caucasus
railroad and a supply depot for the
Nazis' eastern operations. Here big
stores of Axis supplies were taken
over by the Reds. From Kotelnikovski the Russians began a spearhead
drive toward Rostov.
Meanwhile the Red encirclement
of 22 German divisions trapped before Stalingrad was tightened by
Russ advances of from 37 to 58 miles
from the southwest.

ClASSIFIED

Little Pan i,. Bz;,~·ing

Gen. Henri Giraud had been the
Allies' original choice for the post
of high commissioner of North Africa. Then the bullet of the 20-yearold assassin that killed Adm. Jean
Darlan made Giraud's selection inevitable by the French imperial
council.
That the elevation of Giraud to the
slain Darlan's post had a unifying
effect was immediately manifest.
Not only did the French North African civil and military forces rally
behind the new commissioner, but
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of
the
Fighting
French,
quickly
pledged his support of Giraud's regime and urged the formation of a
temporary government to unite all
French elements.
While the murder of Darlan undeniably settled the controversy raging through the United Nations over
the North African alliance of the Allies and the ex-Vichy collaborationist, observers believed that before
his death Darlan had honestly reca.'1ted his former views and was
wholeheartedly leading his forces
for the liberation of France. And
they defended the wisdom of General Eisenhower's first alliance with
Darlan.

Fenrs that a nation-wide scrambh
of housewives to buy canned food
stuffs would develop following offi
cia! d isclosure that a point ration·
ing system would be inaugurated ir
February failed to materialize as re·
ports from retail grocers indicated
only isolated instances of panic buy·
ing.
Announcement of the ration plan
which covers more than 20tJ canned
food items made by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard had
been attacked by trade representatives as "premature" and almost
certain to result in public hoarding
and unfair distribution of available
supplies.
Federal authorities defended the
advance announcement on the
ground that complicated controls
were necessary to administer the
program. They contended, too, that
if the public were not notified, rumors might circulate and cause hysterical purchasing.
Grocers attributed the absence of
panic buying to two major reasons.
One was the government's requirement that before a rationing book
could be issued, any hoarded goods
had to be declared and the equivalent number of rationing coupons
surrendered at the time of registration. The other was that any case
of hoarding where false representation was made, might be p\Dlishable
by a maximum fine of $10,000 ·or one
year in prison or both.

Although tropical sunshine had

strategic key was the town of Medjez-el-Bab, where General Dwight
Eisenhower's army was endeavoring
to anchor its positions for the coming all-out offensive against strongly
held Tunis and Bizerte. That these
positions could not be won without
fierce struggles was indicated by reports that the Allied forces had

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N.W.,
Washington, D. C.
As the ship of state pulls out of
the holiqay doldrums, skipper and
crew are setting their jaws for rough
weather. There are cross currents
ahead in the new congress which
are goin g ,to set the old ship rocking.
Symbolic of conflicting movements, the debate of which will soon
be filling the Congressional Record,
are these two: A proposed bill to
bring labor unions into the restricting pale of legislation such as business has to contend with under the
anti-trust laws, and a social security
program which some say will outBeveridge England's new Beveridge
plan. That program, its author, Sir
William Beveridge says, is "in some
ways a revolution."
The "holiday doldrums" I mentioned were not enirely a seasonal
affair this year. There was the usual letdown while congress went home
and the nation turned to festal
thoughts. There was also a premeditated lull which was necessitated by the turnover in the last
election. The administration knew
that no matter what was done in
the interim between November and
January, it would, in some measure,
be undone when anti-administration
Democrats and the increased Republican minority got together in the
new congress.

CASUALTY LISTS:
Confident that the American public can "take bad news," government officials revealed that the ban
on nation-wide publication of war
casualty and prisoner lists had been
lifted.
The new policy, officials said,
would permit publication anywhere
and in their entirety, lists of men
killed, wounded, missing or taken
prisoner. Previously newspapers had
been restricted to publishing the
names of men whose next of kin
lived in their particular circulation
area.
Explaining the new ruling, one
spokesman declared it had been determined that the publication of casualty lists would not jeopardize national security and moreover, "the
public has enough stamina and fortitude to take the bad news of long
casualty lists if the papers care to
publish them."

DEPARTMENT

Stop-Gap Arranged
Since manpower is the prime considerati :m of the moment, a stop-gap
was artanged. With much fanfare
Manpower Commissioner McNutt
was given new powers and a farflung p:rogram was ballyhooed. But
it was mostly ballyhoo and just before Christmas wide publicity was
given to a document which was obviously the forewarning that much
stricter regimentation of labor was
in the wind. The long-postponed,
but inevitable, national service act
raised its head again.
The document was a draft of a
bill made by Grenville Clark, an atton;ey who suddenly emerged as a
presidential advisor.
It was announced that he made a special trip
to England to study the British manpower setup. Clark remained silent
until just before Christmas and after
congress had gone home, but every
congressman received a copy of the
proposed legislation.
About two weeks earlier, shortly
titer the Beveridge report was
made public, a cabinet officer was
heard to remark: "We've got to get
busy and draw up a program that
fits America's needs a little better
than the Beveridge plan would."
But the lull was still lulling then
and when the President was asked
at a press and radio conference if
he were preparing a message for
congress on the subject-that was
about the time of the remark of the
cabinet member-he said "no."
The Beveridge plan was the natural result of the Battle of Britain.
Then a common danger brought the
British people closer together. The
underfed, underclothed and underhoused had to be taken care of.
Class lines don't exist in the shambles. A bombed-out duchess can
be as cold and hungry as a waif.
The poor suddenly realized that if
they could be taken care of as well
or better in an emergency, they
ought to have a little better distribution of the ordinary decencies of life
in prosperous peacE\ times. Wise
leaders didn't wait until the war was
over to face angry demands which
might turn into real revolution. Sir
William Beveridge's committee drew
up the blueprint for what they called
"a British revo~ution" in the coun1 try's economic setup under which,
as one spokesman described it, "the
people would contribute by their
'lwn preference, to a national insurunce fund rather than take a handmt from the state."

ROY C. HEGGESTAD, Agent
2003 Wlnnebae:o St.

That is one trend we can look for.
Running counter to it on the surface,
but really also shooting at the
"greatest good for the greatest number" is the trend toward regulation
of organized labor. Probably a dozen
bills have been drawn up, all of
which tend to put the screws on labor
unions. Many liberals feel that the
unions have it coming. The growing
number of strikes in wartime, when
maximum production is a matter of
patriotism as well as necessity, the
existing union rules which tend to
interfere with maximum production, the various "restraints" considered as evil as the "restraint of
trade" resulting from monopolies,
all have been highlighted by war
conditions. Bills will be presented
to root out these ills. Much of the
restriction of unions could be avoided if the unions cleaned their own
house.
In America, as in England, when
a nation is called upon to make the
sacrifices demanded by this war, it
can be expected that the people
will insist on a democratic distribution of opportunity and reward of
effort when peace comes. The war
will also have taught that maximum
production means maximum prosperity. There are plenty of people
to consume peacetime products;
there are plenty of natural resources
whose development can furnish the
jobs for the consumers and provide
the pay which makes it possible
for them to buy what is produced.
Any group or institution-farm, labor, management-which stands in
the way of this maximum production
is bound to have its wings clipped.
Meanwhile, the people will demand
and get greater "assurance" against
rainy days, which come even when
prosperity is with us. And in providing it, if Britain comes along,
America cannot be far behind.

Lockheed officials report that 13
blind workers who are helping build
fighting and bombing planes in the
California plant are in l'ome respects better than average and turn
out more work than their fellows
because of higher concentration. Including two women, these sightless
workers passed a month's placement
test in the Lockheed factory and
are now working as tubing assemblers, burring-roll operators and assemblers of switch boxes. One is a
parts l:tandler on a conveyor in the
paint shop.
Guide dogs bring the blind employees to the plant each morning
and doze aU day beneath their masters' benches. Miss Hazel Hurst,
sightless president of a foundation
for training blind persons, worked
at every job before selecting the
blind worker to be placed in it.
However, the number of jobs they
can perform with safety will always
be limited, she said. Lockheed hopes
to find jobs for more sightless workers.

Hack's bhlinr pl.a.:e Is discovered. Char·
ley HIUhou•e, Herendeen's foreman,
rides Into the "Potholes" after blm wiUa
a party lnelu~lnt: Gurd Grant.
Now eontfnlU wttb Ule story.

CllAPTER XIV
The Potholes was a section of land
perhaps ten miles square, composed
of gulches and ridges shapelessly
twisted, as 1hough in olden time an
upthrust of the earth's lower levels
had lifted and dropped this crust.
Grant didn't know the region well
enough to orient himself, but Charley HillhoU!;e was thoroughly at
home, selecting the trails without
pause as he came to them. Crossing
a creek that rose in the Potholes
and died in them, they reached a
meadow and. carefully skirted its
edge. Beyond this meadow the land
again broke up. Charley Hillhouse
lifted a hanti over his head, signaling cautionj a mile forward, coming
to the lip of a deep glen, he waved
his arm by way of command. Grant
stopped, •atching Hillhouse step
from his hot"se and go forward.
Grant diJ.mounted and led the oth·
er men down the trail to the bottom
of the glep. He climbed the far
a;ide slowh&gt;, abreast Hillhouse. Hillbouse poit)ted ahead.
Yonder, in a cup-shaped depression as ) p.rge as a small corral,
stood Hac:~ Breathitt's horse. There
was a df ad fire in the middle of
the deprtssion, and Hack's saddle
gear. H&amp;ck lay beside a log, sound
asleep, with his hat pulled over his
head.
Grant rlropped at the right of HiUhouse, the two other riders crawled
to the f(freman's left and thus the
four of them watched the loosesprawle~ shape of Hack Breathitt.
The Tnree Pines foreman had let
his gun and arm drop along the
ground and on his face lay shadows
darker tnan the dull light of the Potholes. Yet on that face was no
particuho.r sadness and no visible
eagerne...s. All Gurd Grant saw was
a gray, steadfast certainty. Then
Hillhou~,e lifted the gun, sighted it
on Brea(hitt and spoke quietly:
"It is t hell o1 a time to be poundin' your ear, Hack. Wake up."
Soft a" the call was, Hack BreathItt's aw,kening was instant. All in
a motiort he flung his blanket aside,
sprang upriiht and wheeled around,
reachin~ for his gun.
Hillhouse's
ftat w ...rning 1topped Breathitt's
draw.
"Cu1 that out. You're covered
four \\ e.ys."
This was a wrong guess on Charley Hillhouse'• part, for only three
:&gt;f the.m haci drawn on Breathitt.
Gurd Grant, rising as the others
rose, held his arms beside him.
Breathitt's horse grunted when Riley heaved up the latigo strap. A
::row's strident squawking echoed
through the timber. Shade pressed
around them and even though the
day was hall-warm, Gurd Grant felt
a growing chill in his stomach, along
his nerves. He could not help asking
his question.
"What are rou going to do, Charley?"
Hillhouse ignored the question,
whereupon Breathitt's grin showed
very white against his steel-black
etubble.
Breathitt reached into his shirt
pocket, producing cigarette material. He rolled a smoke, still showing
that thin-lipped amusement. He
lighted the cigarette and dragged in
a deep breath of smoke. "You won't
get far with a jury, son. You know
that."
"Yes," said Hillhouse, "I know it.
Riley, bring me his rope."
Riley released the rope from the
thong of Breathitt's saddle. He came
across the depression at a slow, bowlegged stradqJe and handed the rope
to Hillhouse. Hillhouse hooked it
over one arm, keeping his gun free;
he looked upward at the trees a
moment, then back to Breathitt.
..Better get on your horse, Hack."
"No," said Hack, "I guess not."
••Listen," said Hillhouse in a
jumpy, hard-pressed tone, "make it
easy for a man. What you think I'm
thinkin' about now, Hack? What
you suppose I feelf"
Breathitt showed his old partner
an iron insolence, a black cutting
wisdom. There was something in
that look ~hich none of them, long
as they lived, could ever answer,
or ever forget. Hack said: "There's
a knot in your head and no thin' can

heavy cotton twill fabric in a soft
tan tone to match the background
color of the hooked rug that you
see in front of the couch. It was
decided not to use any contrasting
trimming but to accent the clean-

kid. Yo1,1've got a damned good
memory, too-and this is something
you won't shake loose. It'll go to
bed with you and it'll kill your sleep
and it'll make your grub taste like
sawdust and all the drinkin' in the
world won't drown it. Take a good
long look at your peace of mind,
Charley. It's the last you'll ever
see of it."
"Get on the horse," said Hillhouse.
Hack smoked his cigarette to the
bitter end, tossed it into the dust.
"Before the week's out you'll wish
to God you were in my place. Never
mind the horse, Charley."
Hillhouse pulled his feet together
and dropped the rope. His chin
came up and the gun slowly rose in
his hand.
He fired three times, shoving
the gun toward his target as
though he could not get it done
quickly enough.
Shocked windless, Gurd Grant
saw the foreman's lips pull back at
each shot., saw his face snap into
grotesque and operunouthed expressions of craziness such as he had
never seen on any man's face before. The shot echoes pounded along
the corridors of the pine forest.
Hack bowed his head and bent his
Imees as though to kneel. Half-kneeling, he fell forward.
Hillhouse walked toward him, the
gun sagging at full arm's length.
He removed his hat and stood this
way, staring down at the dead
Breathitt. He said: "Well, he had
the last word, like always." And
then his lips framed silent words.
The vitality left his face. When he
looked around to the others he
seemed faintly dazed. He said:
"We'll take him back to the ranch
and get a wagon and run him into
War Pass. His family are all buried in the cemetery, which is where
he should be. These Potholes ain't
fit for any white man."
Gurd Grant swung around, physically sick, and slid down the ravine.
He had to stop here long enou~h to
lose his breakfast and catch h:~
wind. Climbing out of the ravine,
he reached his horse and turned it
back on the trail. This was pretty
much a wilderness to him but he
was so ab;;orbed by what he had
seen that F:te let the horse have its
own head, and so eventually he
came out of the Potholes on Herendeen's range. Turning right, he
threaded through the Haycreek Hills
and reached his own place. He left
the horse in front of the house. Going up the stairs he heard Catherine
call from the kitchen. She came to
the hall and saw his dead-white face
swing around.
"Gurd-what's the matter?"
"Nothing," he said. "Nothing."
"You're lying."
"Let me alone," he rasped out
and went up the stairs. He locked
the door of his room, slowly pacing
back and forth.
Lige White, who loved hunting as
he loved few things, returned to his
ranch that day and turned a, fat
mule deer over to the cook. He
had been gone from the house since
two that morning, riding down some
of the constant physical restlessness
wl.ich seldom permiUed him to remain long in one spot. He ate a
late dinner in the kitchen and afterwards sat on the front porch to
smoke a cigar, meanwhile listening
to the soft t&gt;tep of his wife as she
m{)ved around the .second floor of
the house, engaged ln those endless
little occupations which seemed to
fill her day.
He pitched the cigar across the
porch and entered me house. She
was on the seconc1 floor, moving
around from room to room, but
when he went up the stairs he found
her seated in her own bedroom with
a pile of darning on her lap. She
had heard him come and this was
her way of throwing up a guard
against him.
He stood half-across the room
blackhai:I'ed and smiling, favorabl~
enough m the eyes of most women
watching her face come up from th~
pretense of work. Her voice cool
as it was, never failed to sti; him
"Did you have good luck?"
·
"Nice fat one."
He said: "Old girl, you're a hell
of a good-loolcing woman, do you
know?"
Her voice wouldn't let the silence
remain. It hurried back to him.

"The peaches should be picked. I
think I'll turn Joe loose on them tomorrow. We'll can a lot of them,
of course. But it would be nice if
you loaded up a wagon of them and
went around to the neighbors."
"What neighbors?" he said, shak·
ing his head. "It is a poor word to
describe what they are now, to each
other. Herendeen and Morgan are
ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
Gurd's got it in for Morgan over
something-! don't know what. We
are going to have a fight and I hate
to consider it."
She said: "You should know the
reason for it, Ltge."
"Why yes," he answered. "Herende~n wants to clean up the range
and Morgan is a little shy on comin' in."
She said: "No, Lige. In the beginning it was over a woman, Lila.
And now it is over another woman,
Catherine."
He looked down at her, closely
thinking it over. "Lila-maybe yes.
But Catherine. I doubt that. He's
closer to the McGarrah girl."
"There's one thing you don't know,
Lige. Catherine was his first girl
Even before Lila. She still is. i
don't know if he realizes that. I
don't know if he understands why
he is so bitter against Herendeen,
or why Herendeen hates him so.
It is Catherine, Lige."
He said: "You're damned pretty,
sitting there."
She gathered up the darning and
rose, turning to a corner of the
room. "I ought to go down and see
what Chin's cooking for dinner."
He came over the room. Hearing
his quick steps she swung around,
her_ face dark-set and stiff. Lige
Wh1te showed her his quick smile,
he showed her the gay, excited and
unruly expression she knew so welL
There was that insistence in him,
that quick need. He put his hand on
her shoulder, compelling her to
come toward him. He said, voice
giving him away, "Don't freeze me
out, Grace."
She whirled back from him, retreating until she had reached a
wall. She put her shoulders to the
wall and it was this picture that
hurt Lige White, the sight of his
wife shrinking away, actually in
fear, with that darkness on her face
and that adamant pride in her eyes,
as though she hated the things in
his mind then. It took all the drive
out of him, it swung him around .
At the door he turned, once more
covering up his feelings , speaking
as though none of this had happened.
"I'm going over to see Herendee n,
and .maybe Gurd. Probably be gone
overnight."
She remained hy the wall until he
had left the room, listening to the
crush of his feet on the stairs. Afterwards, posted at a corner of the window so that he wouldn't see her,
she watched him ride out of the
yard and settle the horse into a
singlefooted dancing across the Fanolango Desert. As long as he was
in sight she stood by the window.
When the corrals and barns cut
him from view she dropped the
darning material from her hands
and crossed to the bureau mirror
She placed her hands on the bureau
top, watching \'be way her face remained set and dark. She said,
"Why is it always like that?" and
slowly turned from the room. ChiP
had left a broom and pan in thP
~all; she bent to pick up the pan
and saw the uncollected dust along
the floor. She went down to thr
kitchen and filled a pail with water
and got a rag from a closet and
lugged the pail up the stairs, kneel·
ing on the hall.
She had forgotten about her dres.s,
or she didn't care. She drenched
the rag and slowly scrubbed the
floor, not wit~ very much meihod;
she kept pushmg the rag around and
around the same spot, and her lips
were tight-placed and tears showed
in her '!yes. She said, "This started
long ago. Why do I always push
him away? I always dirl. Now he
goes somewhere else. It is too late."
She moved along the hall, water
staining her dress. Her hair loosened at the edges, coming across
her forehead. Chin called up the
stairs. "Miss Lige White, what you
do there?"
She cried, "Get back to the kitchen," and was openly crying.

It has been the aim of the Crete Lions Club to make The
Record a welcome news letter to our men in Service.
Six months
have passed since you received your first issue, and I hope that the
following issues may be as entertaining and enjJyable as the first.

Point RaUoning System
Starts Next Month
The point rationing plan which
is to be placed into effect in the
near future. is termed "the fair·
est way" of even distribution of
commodities made scarce by the
war to the civilian public, by
Henry Seggebrucb, chairman of
the Local War Price and Ration·
ing Board 6299-2, Crete, Illinois.
Mr. Seggebruch said tbe plan assured the rich and poor alike a
fair share of the available
supply.

$2.00 a Year

We bnve received many letters and cards from me~1 in tb~
service. Keep on sendinJZ them, for we who are at home are
grateful for a word now and then from the boys of whom we are
so proud.
I believe I know almost all of you personally, for I have been
in business in Crete for twenty years, and am known to most of
you as "Charlie." Last week I was very glad to be able to shake
hands and visit with a few of you who were at home on furlough,
My one great wish is that this war may soon be over, and that you
may all be at home with us once more.

�THE RECORD, CRETE, ILL.

Six Million Farmers Pledge Co-operation
In Nationwide Campaign for More Food
Co:mmittee Is Elected
To Study Various
Production Plans.
L Eyes of the nation are on the
lAmerican farmer this month.
. What's he doing to merit all
this attention?
Why nothing at all, except
making plans for an even better
production job in '43 than he did
last year-and '42 broke records
right and left!
Farm Mobilization day in midmonth set in motion a coast-tocoast plan for getting the most
from every acre. Demands on
:the farmer and his land will be
~eavier than ever, but shortages
of labor and materials will be
tighter. That means that many
farms will have to produce still
more to meet the goals.
When the nation-wide sign-up
of men, land and livestock already under way is complete-d,
!Uncle Sam will know what he
can expect from his "food and fiber
army" on 6,000,000 farms.
Farm Mobilization day began
• the greatest campaign for food
production in the long and meritorious history of United States
agriculture.
Farmers assembled in groups all
over the nation on that day for special meetings at which the national
and local production situation was
discussed. Production goals for each
locality were studied, and the farmer's part in meeting goals for his
own land was shown in its relation
· to the entire war contribution of
agriculture.
Keynote of the farm mobilization
program was set in a national program on January 12. Government
officials and high ranking officers of
the armed services were among the
speakers. A Minnesota farm woman
whose son is fighting in Algiers to~d
what she is doing to meet food production goals, and a county war
board chairman from Illinois represented .the farming man.
Explanation of the importance of
the farmer's goals to the strength of
Americans at home, and the free.dom of all the United Nations, is
1expected to bring a clearer apprecia tion of his problems among orl ganizations and th.e people at large.
, Many groups will pledge co-operation and support the farmer's efforts to meet these problems.
Immediately following the
Farm Mobilization day meetings, farmer committeemen
elected by fa,rmers themselves
began visiting each farm to help
the operator work out his indi·
vidual production plan. At the
same time, a survey of his labor, machinery and other needs ,
Is being made. Each plan, when
completed, will represent that
farm's share in national produc-1
tion goals.
Agriculture's "1943 Farm Plan"
sets up on a single sheet the crop
acreages for 1942 and the new 1943
goal for each farm on war crops

boards in determining the individual
farmer's labor, transportation, gasoline, machinery and other production requirements, and the greatest
possibl.e local assistance that can
be given to him.
January and February are the
months when the production pattern
for the year is developed in its entirety, and to a large extent the planning and organization taking place
at this time will forecast whether
or not national goals will be met
in '43.
The most critical food production year in history requires
careful planning il there is to be
enough for everyone.
Farmers will have to continue the
co-operatively managed program
they approved and followed last
year, with harder work and longer
hours ahead. Civilian consumers
will have to follow a co-operative
program of their own, so that fathers and brothers and daughters in
the armed forces of all the United
Nations may be assured the food
and clolhing they need while they
are serving on far-flung battlefronts.

ships crossing the seven seas to
aid fighting Allies, are expected
to take one-half again as much
as was demanded in '42. About
one-fourth of the anticipated total food production must be earmarked for this use.
One-half of all canned vegetables
and one-third of the billions of eggs
gathered during the year will go off
to war. Over 25 per cent of total
meat production will join the ranks,
together with the products from other millions of acres.

When the farmer starts raising
hemp he is entering a new type of
production that requires careful
study and intelligent application of
efficient methods. He's growing halyards and hawsers for the navy,

"That guy I just struck was a
heap more liberal wid his advice
dan wid his money."
"What talk did he have?"
"I s~id I was cold an' he told me
ter go to blazes."

We had always been taught
that the bacteria coli, causing typliOid fevet infection, was the
most persistent and feared of all
bacteria. We have learned in the
last 10 years that the "gimme"
bug is much harder to cure than
the typhoid bacteria ever was.
Perhaps our failure to do away
with civic waste and useless payrollers in the face of our supreme
effort during this wartime emergency is due to the fact that science and plain American common sense have not had the opportunity to develop an antidote
for the "gimmes."

Noble American wives are willing
to sec their husbands drafted to fight
Japs for freedom, bayonet to bayon t, m fever-infested jungles. But
v .. t wife is willing to chance her
husband's life so some other ablebodied man can grab a government
J'.lb that's useless and fat? Not one!
. . . Married men will be called to
arms by hundreds in the next two
months, by thousands if a new leuion of draft-age men are added to
government bureaus. It will surely
nappen, too, unless the American
people do something about it.
Look at ~hese facts: General
Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service (no less) said recently that 100,000 married men were
needed to fill November's draft quota. It is estimated also that delay
m passing the teen-age draft law
would bring 200,000 more married
men into the service in December.
A:ready there are 2,700,000 civilians
on Uncle Sam's pay-roll, and new
bureaus are being organized continually, making thousands of Washington jobs for men of draft age.
How Bureaus Grow
One example will be enough to
show how government bureaus multiply. Early in 1942 a manufacturer

"In the final analysis, those who
have the g1·catest need to be disturbed about farm labor and equipment are the city people. At present the majority of city people, according to a recent survey, do not
blame farmers for scarcities. Those,
they think, arc due to war demands
and conditions. But they are blaming farmers for rising prices. They
do not realize that since farmers
receive hardly 40c of the consumer
food dollar a~nc:tlture can not poss~bly be more than 40% responsible.
If they knew that costs of farm production an• largely labor and materials, in the cost of which labor is
a larger element, they would see
very little rcn"on to attribute their
higher cost of living to anything
within control of farmers."

Somewhere in China this soldier of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's
armies stands guard before a line of American P40 planes at an inland
air base. His shift is 24 hours at a stretch in guarding these precious
craft that hold oft Jap advances in China.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO:
Tax Gets Go-Ahead

SMALL BUSINESS:
Total War Casualty?

It had been clear that official
Washington from Capitol Hill to the
White House had agreed that a payas-you-go income tax was the most
effective means of raising the multibillion revenue needed to help defray war costs.
How to apply the levy to the nation's 35,000,000 taxpayers and what
yardstick to use had been the subject of numerous recommendations.
The treasury department gave its
support to a bill by Sen. Bennett
Clark for a new 19 per cent withholding tax. Added to the prevailing 5 per cent Victory tax this would
mean a total of 24 per cent withheld from payrolls.
Under the Clark program the payas-you-go plan would be inaugurated
March 15. The taxpayer would file
his income tax return on that date
and pay his first quarterly 1943 taxes
on the basis of his 1942 income. The
withholding tax would then be effective on weekly or monthly paychecks, as well as on income from
interest and dividends.
Persons not on payrolls such as
&lt;.1rmers, independent business men,
1&gt;rofessional people and others could
pay their taxes on a monthly or
quarterly basis.

Economists had long been aware
of the war's menacing impact on
American small business, but their
statistical discourses attracted little public notice. It remained for
vocal Secretary of Interior Harold
L. Ickes to dramatize the little business man's plight when he declared
that the country now faces "the brutal fact that the war can be the final,
crushing blow to small business."
Pointing out that "the major portion of war production contracts are
going to a few large corporations,"
Mr. Ickes told the senate small business committee that "should the
small business man go, we all will
go."
Mr. Ickes warned that "we must
guard against the loss of our traditional freedom of enterprise, a loss
that would result in creating a dictatorship by a few corporations and
cartels over our jobs."

When the chapter of war history
dealing with the Battle of New
Guinea is written, it will be one ot
the most important in the whole
book. That is ...-hat military meB
here tell me.
They began telling me that bit by
bit just before the second front in
Africa opened. Then the African
story wiped everything else ofT the
first pages. Recently they have been
talking about New Guinea again.
They keep saying to me a little reproachfully, "the American peopledon't realize what MacArthur has
achieved down in that jungle country."
These aren't the "MacArthur
men"-there are such in the army~
a little group of hero worshipen who
perhaps worship a bit more fervently
than logically. But the men whohave watched the New Guinea campaign from Moresby straight up over
the Owen Stanley range and down
the other side and up to the eastern
coast of the island tell me that MacArthur and the leaders he has about
him have done a great and a significant job.
It is great because he has accomplished what it was freely predicted
the Japs could not do (and didn't).
It is significant because it has proved
that Australians and Americans, given the training, can beat the Jap at
his own game. They can (and have)
beaten him with less training, with·
out the fatalistic quality of the Jap,
whose religion is to die rather than
surrender even when dying isn't a
military necessity.
There are two reasons, which military men put forward why the battle
of New Guinea has not been painted
in its true colors-represented in its
true importance. One Is the fact
that MacArthur leans backward in
his communiques.
Another is a
peculiar copy-desk prejudice o!
American newspapers, which causes
them to play down reports from the
distance and play up the reports
from the war department in Wash·
ington.
There are two reasons why MacArthur's reports are given out from
his headquarters in Australia instead
of by the war department in Washington. One is that the Australians
(and perhaps MacArthur) want it
that way, and another is because
American newspapers, who pay a
lot of money to keep correspondents
in that area, don't like to have their
men scooped by Washington.

That sounded very bad to me, so
I called up the offices of Senator
Downey of California and Senator
McFarland of Arizona, who are
members of a special committee
holding hearings in California and
New Mexico on this question of imported farm labor.

their money in planting the long·
staple cotton the government wants.
Neither Senator Downey's office
nor Senator McFarland's had any
comments on the padrone system.
Then I talked with a department
of agriculture official. He was o!
the opinion that the contracts had
worked out fairly well, and he pointed out that there was an "ideological" as well as a practical objection on the part of the farmers
to the contract-the objection to establishing a minimum wage for farm
labor.
Here are three quite different viewpoints. They reoresent a tiny fraction of the tangle which Washington
has to untangle, has to reconcile.
If Washington is a madhouse, wh()
made it mad?

WNU Service, 1343 B Street, N-W,
Washington, D. C.
What has happened to the scheme
tor bringing Mexican labor into the
United States to help fill the gap
left by the drain which industry and
the draft have made on the farm?
In trying to get an answer to that
question I turned up some rather
interesting data which I wish to submit as an answer to that slur on our
fair city that you hear frequently
these days: "Washington is a mad
house." It may at least explain what
makes the wild cat wild.
I first went to an official in one
of the war agencies with my query
about Mexican labor. He is a very
energetic, sincere worker, an antiNew Dealer, who is here trying to
do his share to win the war. I am
not permitted to use his name. He
said:
.
"Somebody in our government with
a lot of high ideals went to the
Mexican government and made an
agreement to send Mexican laborers
to the United States. They arranged
to have a contract which would deal
with each laborer as a free agent
and put in all sorts of conditions
which the farmer who had to hire
him had to agree to, including housing, transportation, and a minimum
per diem rate.
"But instead of sending over ex,:~erienced farm laborers the Mexican
government gathered together a lot
·of ne'er-do-wells and hoboes. It
didn't work. In fact, the farmers got
less help than usual. The trouble
was that before the social-conscious
officials took a hand the American
farmers had been making contracts
with padrones (bosses) who got the
money and the workers, established
the working conditions and paid the
workers as they saw fit.
They
brought in trained workers and they
made them work. But the starryeyed members of the Mexican and
American governments wouldn't
hear of making use of the padrone

Senator Downey was still in California but his office was enthusiastic.
I was told about how successful the
use of this imported Mexican labor
had been under the government's
plan, in the beet industry, how it
worked in the great guayle rubber
fields of which 500,000 acres have
been planted as part of our homegrowl\ rubber program. How the
senator was arranging with the state
department for the admission of
more foreign labor.
Then I talked with Senator McFarland. He said he would go along
with Senator Downey in some of
the things but not all. He said the
farmers' complaint in Arizona was
that they got neither the quantity
nor the quality of workers they wanted. Cotton and dairy workers are
their chief needs. He said that some
of the farmers wouldn't sign a contract which the American govern·
ment required. All protested against
it. The objection was to the clause
which established a minimum daily
wage. The farmers said that the
worker came out to the field in the
morning, picked until he wanted to
quit and then weighed in. But in
order to be sure he bed worked
his minimum hours it was necessary
to have a timekeeper and a bookkeeper to check on his time and the
whole process was too expensive.

Why He I• Winning
MacArthur may have another reason fm.· not ballyhooing his achievements. He was beaten in Bataan.
He may feel that until he hes a
complete victory to his credit, he
doesn't want to sing too loudly.
But MacArthur bas won so far in
New Guinea because the men under
his command were able to do what
they never had a chance to do on
Bataan because of lack of numbers,
supplies and food.
On New Guinea they were able to
do better than the Japs could, the
very things which the Japs could do
best. And they did it in the kind o!
jungle country in which that "best"
was even better. They were able
to adapt themselves to the envir;onment which required a kind of fighting and a kind of endurance for
which the Japanese had spent years
in preparing. The kind of fighting
that resulted in the fall of Singapore
and the kind which the conventional
British soldiers-even the Far East·
ern experts-said was impossible.

Long-Staple Cotton
He said, on the whole, that the
Arizona farmer didn't get as many
workers as needed and didn't get as
good ones -as he had expected.
On the department of agriculture's
program for the next year there is
a quota of 160,000 acres of longr.taple cotton. One hundred thousand
acres are allotted to Arizona. Normally, we import most of our long·
staple cotton from abroad.
Senator McFarland said that unless
some solution of the fa1m labor
problem was reached, unless the
present contract was modified and
the Arizona farmers were assured
more and better hands at a lower
cost, they wouldn't be able to invest

Now eonUnue with the story.

CHAPTER XVI
It was still close and risky, as
they both knew. Morgan swapped a
short glance with the smiling White,
seeing a thorough understanding in
the latter's eyes. Morgan made the
&lt;iecision for both of them at this
moment, turning his horse squarely
on Herendeen. The movement pulled
White around and thus the two of
them, holding their horses to a walk,
passed down the yard in a silence
1hat had no bottom.
The river road bent around a
point. Reaching this point, ready to
turn it and shut the Three Pines
ranch house from sight, Morgan had
his backward glance. Herendeen and
his men were in the saddle, heading
for the Haycreek Hills. They were
soing after the beef, Morgan knew.
Lige White came abreast. "Clay,
I'm ashamed to say it, but I've
strung along with Ben, not liking
what's been going on around me. I
atill do not like it, but I cannot tolerate this kind of a war. Keep
away from him. The man's gone
crazy."
"A little late now," said Morgan.
••There's a fight coming. Ben's
made up his mind, and so have I.
;!;tay out of it, Lige. And see if you
can get Gurd to do the same."
Lige White said with the greatest
.reluctance: "I have hated to see
this day come."
"A long time coming," said Marcan, and put his horse to the slope.
Lige White watched him climb,
excitement mirroring brightly in his
Eyes; afterwards he continued along
the road, bound for Gurd Grant's.

Pete Borders, who bad driven the
Long Seven beef across the Haycreek Hills to Herendeen's range,
lay on a peak of the ridge throughout the middle of the day. He saw
Morgan arrive at the mr?adow-and
Jtrinned to himself at what was no
doubt in Morgan's mind. It looked
like an open steal on Herendeen's
part, which was the way Borders
wanted it to look.
Later when he saw Morgan headed for Herendeen's alone, Pete Borders grew serious and a little restless. It was, he concluded, bad
tactics on Morgan's part; and so,
taking to his horse, he went along
the Haycreek Hills until he was able
to sight the Three Pines ranch from
the heights.
Be made out the crowd in the
yard and watched the parley.
Later he saw a new rider come
elong-whicb. was Lige White-and
r;aw two of them ride away. Morgan had got out of it with a whole
skin, which relieved Borders immeasurably.
A3 soon as Morgan left Lige
White, he turned his horse to the
slope of the Haycreek Hills and presently, from a high point, he saw
Herendeen leave the valley with his
crew. Morgan calculated his margin
(1f advantage to be about twenty minntes and entered the timber at a
fast clip.
He caught up with his outfit a mile
cr two beyond the swamp. The cattle were single file, going very slowly on the crooked trail and stretched
out for three or four hundred yards.
Cap Vermilye was in front of them,
beyond sight. Fox Willing held the
rear, with Harry Jump still farther
back to cover whatever might come
up. Harry Jump was a little edgy
'With the strain of this thing; he

Be made out the crowd in the 7ard and watched the parley.
They came at last to the stage
road and turned into it. From the
swamp meadow to this point had
been more than an hour's drive and
Herendeen was long overdue, leading Morgan to believe that Herendeen had circled them. The trouble, then, would come when they
reached the open country. He joined
Harry Jump, both of them hazing
the stragglers forward until the beef
was in a compact bunch. Vermilye
and Willing were fifty yards forward; now and then a cow wandered toward the jack-pine forest
surrounding them and had to be cut
back. At five o'clock they reached
the bottom of the stage road, left
the pines and swung north toward
Government Valley, three miles distant.
Herendeen was nowhere to be
seen, whereupon Harry Jump came
to his suspecting conclusions. "He
didn't want to try it in timber. He's
waitin' for us to get in the middle of
the flats. My idea is that he's watchin' us from the Potholes right now."
A similar thought had occurred to
Vermilye. He trotted back to Margan. "Now in case he comes a-bustin' out of the brush, Clay, we better
just let this beef go and hit for them
agency buildings."
"No," said Jump at once. "It's
our beef, by God."
"That's right," said Morgan.
Vermilye joill_ed Harry Jump,
both of them urgmg the cattle along
at a quicker gait. Morgan closely
watched the back trail, not auite
able to understand Herendeen's continued delay. The suspense worked
on his nerves. Once, thinking he
saw movement at the edge of the
Potholes, he turned and made a
stand, searching the black margin of
that country quite carefUlly. He had
been mistaken, however, and presently turned to catch up with the
beef. Near six o'clock, with the sun
down beyond the Cache Mountains,
they threw the beef on their own
grass near the shattered dobe buildings of the old agency.
Morgan said: "Hold this jag in a
bunch. We're not through yet. I
want Herendeen to see what we
took. Fox, if I were you I think I'd
pull freight. Thanks for comin'
along."
Willing said, idly : "Might as well
stick around."
Cap VermiJye, alwa ys a forehanded man, got a few sage stems and a
piece of old board from the nearest
building to make up a fire. He ha d
a frying pan and coffeepot in his
s a ddle roll; and some bacon and a
can of b eans. He boiled up the coffee, fl'ie d the bacon and h eated the
beans in the frying pa n's g rease.
Having no other utens ils, they took
turns at the frying pan, using their
pocket knives, and dra nk the coffee
straight from the pot. At s even
o'clock, with shadows sweeping
across Mogul's plateau, a single
horseman appeared on the high edge
of Mogul Motmtain and quartered
do~n. This was in the west, from
wh1ch Morgan expected no trouble.
Harry Jump walked deliberately to
his horse and pulled out his Winchester. Morgan said, "Hold on,
Harry." Rider and horse plodded
unhurriedly through the blue swirl
of dusk-a long stooped shape on a
rawboned animal; at a distance he
waved his arm overhead and a little later Morgan recognized the nester Gale.
Gale came up but did not dismount until Morgan gave him the
proper invitation. When the invitation came he dropped to the ground
with an old m an's stiffness; he
poised both his hands over the muzzle of his ancient gun and looked
out from beneath his twisted awning-shaped eyebrows.
"There' s some coffee left in the
pot," said Morgan.

s~:~~~: ~~utsl;uc~!~d~~e;~~~ :-~
and tipped the pnt against h·1s
mouth, drinking with an acute thirst.
Coffee ran down the seams of his
jaws. He said, "Ah," in great reiish and sponged the liquid from the
tips of his mustache with sidewise
motions of his tongue.
Morgan said: "Don·t m ean to oe
unfriendly, but m aybe you ougi"Jt to
move on."
Gale didn't smile He was past
the point of finding. amusem ent in
..bla world, but in. JUs e:¥es was a liaht

like the last glow of coals o.f a dyin&amp;
fire. "Don't you worry about me,
Mr. Morgan. It I didn't know whut
I wanted to do, I wouldn't be here."
Morgan shrugged his shoulders.
"Your funeral."
"It may be," agreed Gale composedly, "But it so, it will be a double one. At my age I'm too old to
worry about dyin' • for it is pretty
close to me at any event, and I
guess I'm poor enough not to fret
about losin' anything.
He rummaged his pockets, producing pipe and tobacco. Morgan
watched him fill the pipe and light it
and settle on his heels.
This was late September and suddenly, slightly beyond seven o'clock,
the blue-running shadows turned to
gunmetal gray and afterwards to
full night. The haze of autumn lay
over the land. Through this filtered
a strong moonlight creating the effeet of woolly clouds banked against
the earth. Morgan led rus horse to
the remnant wall of the nearest dobe
building and walked on until he stood
alone, facing the open south. Fox
Willing was in the saddle, circling
the held bunch of beeves. The job
was done and, as far as the cattle
were concerned, there wasn't any
need of staying here. Yet Morgan
knew that this waiting was neces·
sary. Herendeen was somewhere in
the yonder night. The big man had
avoided a meeting in the timbf!r,
he had delayed this pursuit; but hj
was out there and he would com.:.
Nothing changed much, Morgan
realized. Herendeen had faced him
for ten years, never giving ground,
never able to forget. It was something that would not dim or die, it
was a force that drove Herendeen.
Thinking about that, Morgan admitted the same force drove him. Whatever the outward reasons, whatever
the open quarrels and excuses, there
was a deeper reason still-the native, chemical animosities of two
men born to be opposite in all
things, born to collide and to destroy. It was past explanation.
Stationed like this, apart from the
group and facing southward, he
h~ard Herendeen at last approach,
hidden by the pulsing fog. Off there
a stea dy rhythm rose, of horses
moving at a slow run and prese ntly
slowing to a walk. · Shadows appeared in the fog, and shapeless out·
lines . Fox Willing came in from
the herd, dismounting a nd putting
his horse near the dobe wall. He
walked over to Morg~:~n. Vermilye
and Jump had risen and had taken
position not far from the wall . Gale
w a s out of sight.
Herendeen's party showed as a
wide scatter of shadows on the de s·
e rt. The y we re ha lte d, two hundred

"Morgan, I'm com ing in to cut that
bunch of stock and look it over for
my brand."
Morgan said: "None of your cows

"I'll s ee for myself."
Those shadows were too vag ue to
be counted but Morgan knew He ren·
d een had at least e ight men around
him and he also knew Here ndeen'E
intention-which was to build up a
fi ght on any grounds. He said :
"Charley Hillhouse there?"
"No. I'm coming in."
Morgan said: "Nothing here for
you, Ben. Stay back."
Herendeen's voice boomed out
"You know the rules of the country
It's my privilege to cut any man'l
range for my stock. I claim there'l
Three Pines cows in that bunch."
"If there are," s aid Morgan cool

"I want 'em now."

Winter Breakfasts

This Week's Breakfast

Though the wind may howl moanfully and the icicles crackle coldly
at your window
these
mornings
when you arise
to meet the day
and all its tasks,
a hot, well-balanced breakfast
is bound to bring
you to the alert
in double quick
time. Fruit or fruit juice will wake
you first, then eggs, hot cereal,
rolls or flapjacks will do the rest
toward getting you on your way.
Citrus: fruit crops are especially
good this winter and will be at your
breakfast service with all their ri~h
vitamins, minerals and health-giving qualities. Their sparkle and
freshness will give you a new start
these busy mornings.
Vitamin Cereals.
It's a wonderful idea to follow up
the fruit course with one of those
quickly prepared hot cereals which
are so rich in vitamin Bl-~hat
important vitamin you need daily
for preventing nervousness, fatigue
and restlessness.
There are several ways of doing
up the hot cereals. The quick-cooking wheat and oat cereals may be
readlly prepared along with the rest
of breakfast-in just a few minutes'
time. If you have a deep-well cooker on an electric range you can
place the cereal in glass jars along
with dried fruits you are able to
obtain, turn on the unit overnight,
and have fruit and cereal ready-toeat.
Don't hesitate at cooking the
quick-cooking cereals longer- they
are improved in flavor and more
palatable if you give them a few
extra minutes.
Coddled Eggs.
Coddled or soft cooked eggs are
made by bringing a sauce pan of
water to a good boil. Then tum out
the heat, transfer into it the eggs
with a spoon. Cover and let stand 5 to
10 minutes d epending upon the consist ency of egg you desire. This is
a good way to fix eggs- you can
pla ce them in the water while
you're ge tting the rest of the bre akfast.
Change Your Breakfasts.
Fried mus h is a wonderful bre akfast food; serve it with syrup, butter and honey, and e ven fri ed apple
rings-for a late Sunday morning
feast.
Toasted English muffins ~earned
with poached eggs- and a piece of
broiled ham inbetween will work
wonders toward
ge tting the family on its way out
of bed.
Packaged pancake n: ixtures
will speed up the
tempo at breakfast time. Serve them with butter
or vitaminized margarine-honey
and butter syrup, melted together,
or dark corn syrup flavored with a
maple extract are all that could be
desired, luscious indeed.
No, I haven't forgotten omelet!'!

Hunted Camels in U. S.
Early settlers of the American
West (1870-'80) relished the meat
of the wild camel. Camel steaks
were a favorite dish. These wi'ld
camels were descendants of a herd
imported from Egypt for army use
ln 1856.
Turned loose because they caused
horses to stampede (camels have a
strange odor), the camels multiplied rapidly until wiped out by
American hunters in search of the
fine-flavored meat.

Blue Light Not Suitable
Although blue lights frequently
have been recommended for use in
blackouts, light of that color is highly undesirable. The human eye,
especially when adjusted to see under low illumination, can detect
green and blue light at a distance
much more readily than red or yellow light. Because of this, blue
light is objectionable as an illuminant, for it can be readily seen by
aerial observers.
Another reason why blue light is
undesirable is because it penetrates
the atmosphere for a greater distance than does light on the red
end of the spectrum. This fact 1s
demonstrated in the blue sky. The
sky is blue because some of the
red rays of sun light are filtered out
by atmospheric particles. Less of
the blue rays are stopped by the
air, which makes the sky appear
to be blue.
Supplies U. S. Tropical Needs
The Central American republic of '
Costa Rica, whose declaratiOns of
war coincided with those of the
United States, felt the first impact
of war recently when a torpedo sank
a ship at dock in its principal harbor of Puerto Limon, on the Caribbean coast. Costa Rica has become
increasingly important as a source
of war-short commodities, notably
high-grade coffee and cocoa. Coffee
is the country's largest export crop.
The many volcanoes in Costa Rica
have wrought havoc in the past, but
they also proauced the soil of the
high, rolling central section, which
is very productive, and is especially
suited to the growing of coffee. This
Meseta Central lies from 3,000 to
5,000 feet abvve sea level.
Watch for Cork Oaks
Raw cork is the bark of a specie;;
of evergreen oak. Cork is peeled
off every few years. It grows in
mountainous parts of Spain, Portu·
gal and North Africa where there
are probably about 5,000,000 acres
of cork oaks. The United States
alone uses about 40 per cent of the
total pmduction. With shipments
seriously curtailed by war, the department of agriculture is fostering production of supplies or substitutes grown at home or in Latin
America. Formerly we imported
about $10,000,000 worth of cork a
year. Unfortunately there are only
a few thousand cork trees growing
in the United States. There are
several plantations in Cal1fornia,
the most successful at the Chico
Forest station.

The point rationing plan which
is to be placed into effect in the

commodities made scarce by the
war to the civilian public, by
Henry Seggebrucb, chairman of
the Local War Price and Ration·

Mr. Seggebruch said tbe plan assured the rich and poor alike a
fair share of the available
supply.

grateful for a word now and then from the boys of whom we are
so proud.
I believe I know almost all of you personally, for I have been
in business in Crete for twenty years, and am known to most of
you as "Charlie." Last week I was very glad to be able to shake
hands and visit with a few of you who were at home on furlough,
My one great wish is that this war may soon be over, and that you
may all be at home with us once more.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD, CRETE, ILL.

Six Million Farmers Pledge Co-operation
In Nationwide Campaign for More Food
Co:mmittee Is Elected
To Study Various
Production Plans.
L Eyes of the nation are on the
lAmerican farmer this month.
. What's he doing to merit all
this attention?
Why nothing at all, except
making plans for an even better
production job in '43 than he did
last year-and '42 broke records
right and left!
Farm Mobilization day in midmonth set in motion a coast-tocoast plan for getting the most
from every acre. Demands on
:the farmer and his land will be
~eavier than ever, but shortages
of labor and materials will be
tighter. That means that many
farms will have to produce still
more to meet the goals.
When the nation-wide sign-up
of men, land and livestock already under way is complete-d,
!Uncle Sam will know what he
can expect from his "food and fiber
army" on 6,000,000 farms.
Farm Mobilization day began
• the greatest campaign for food
production in the long and meritorious history of United States
agriculture.
Farmers assembled in groups all
over the nation on that day for special meetings at which the national
and local production situation was
discussed. Production goals for each
locality were studied, and the farmer's part in meeting goals for his
own land was shown in its relation
· to the entire war contribution of
agriculture.
Keynote of the farm mobilization
program was set in a national program on January 12. Government
officials and high ranking officers of
the armed services were among the
speakers. A Minnesota farm woman
whose son is fighting in Algiers to~d
what she is doing to meet food production goals, and a county war
board chairman from Illinois represented .the farming man.
Explanation of the importance of
the farmer's goals to the strength of
Americans at home, and the free.dom of all the United Nations, is
1expected to bring a clearer apprecia tion of his problems among orl ganizations and th.e people at large.
, Many groups will pledge co-operation and support the farmer's efforts to meet these problems.
Immediately following the
Farm Mobilization day meetings, farmer committeemen
elected by fa,rmers themselves
began visiting each farm to help
the operator work out his indi·
vidual production plan. At the
same time, a survey of his labor, machinery and other needs ,
Is being made. Each plan, when
completed, will represent that
farm's share in national produc-1
tion goals.

sets up on a single sheet the crop

ence will be made to them by the

boards in determining the individual
farmer's labor, transportation, gasoline, machinery and other production requirements, and the greatest
possibl.e local assistance that can
be given to him.
January and February are the
months when the production pattern
for the year is developed in its entirety, and to a large extent the planning and organization taking place
at this time will forecast whether
or not national goals will be met
in '43.
The most critical food production year in history requires
careful planning il there is to be
enough for everyone.
Farmers will have to continue the
co-operatively managed program
they approved and followed last
year, with harder work and longer
hours ahead. Civilian consumers
will have to follow a co-operative
program of their own, so that fathers and brothers and daughters in
the armed forces of all the United
Nations may be assured the food
and clolhing they need while they
are serving on far-flung battlefronts.
United States military needs
in '43, plus cargoes for food
ships crossing the seven seas to
aid fighting Allies, are expected
to take one-half again as much
as was demanded in '42. About
one-fourth of the anticipated total food production must be earmarked for this use.
One-half of all canned vegetables
and one-third of the billions of eggs
gathered during the year will go off
to war. Over 25 per cent of total
meat production will join the ranks,
together with the products from other millions of acres.

are met will play a vital part in

When the farmer starts raising
hemp he is entering a new type of
production that requires careful
study and intelligent application of
efficient methods. He's growing halyards and hawsers for the navy,

millions of feet of lines that once

Philippines.
Drug plants, such as belladonna

bark of which comes quinine, are
being raised in increasing quantities to take the place of former imports that are vital to the lives of
soldiers and civilians alike.
War activities used to refer mainly
to muskets, bayonets and &lt;:&gt;annon.
Not so today. Now in the front
line is placed farming. Food is not
only a weapon in itself, but the farmers' fields are also providing needed
materials of war.

music, when that music expresses 3:45

which strikes a truly responsive 4:30

"What talk did he have?"

We had always been taught
that the bacteria coli, causing typliOid fevet infection, was the
most persistent and feared of all
bacteria. We have learned in the
last 10 years that the "gimme"
bug is much harder to cure than
the typhoid bacteria ever was.
Perhaps our failure to do away
with civic waste and useless payrollers in the face of our supreme
effort during this wartime emergency is due to the fact that science and plain American common sense have not had the opportunity to develop an antidote
for the "gimmes."

Noble American wives are willing

v .. t wife is willing to chance her
husband's life so some other ablebodied man can grab a government
J'.lb that's useless and fat? Not one!
. . . Married men will be called to
arms by hundreds in the next two
months, by thousands if a new leuion of draft-age men are added to
government bureaus. It will surely
nappen, too, unless the American
people do something about it.
Look at ~hese facts: General
Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service (no less) said recently that 100,000 married men were
needed to fill November's draft quota. It is estimated also that delay
m passing the teen-age draft law
would bring 200,000 more married
men into the service in December.
A:ready there are 2,700,000 civilians
on Uncle Sam's pay-roll, and new
bureaus are being organized continually, making thousands of Washington jobs for men of draft age.

"In the final analysis, those who
have the g1·catest need to be disturbed about farm labor and equipment are the city people. At present the majority of city people, according to a recent survey, do not
blame farmers for scarcities. Those,
they think, arc due to war demands
and conditions. But they are blaming farmers for rising prices. They
do not realize that since farmers
receive hardly 40c of the consumer
food dollar a~nc:tlture can not poss~bly be more than 40% responsible.
If they knew that costs of farm production an• largely labor and materials, in the cost of which labor is
a larger element, they would see
very little rcn"on to attribute their
higher cost of living to anything
within control of farmers."

Somewhere in China this soldier of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's
armies stands guard before a line of American P40 planes at an inland
air base. His shift is 24 hours at a stretch in guarding these precious
craft that hold oft Jap advances in China.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO:
Tax Gets Go-Ahead

SMALL BUSINESS:
Total War Casualty?

It had been clear that official
Washington from Capitol Hill to the
White House had agreed that a payas-you-go income tax was the most
effective means of raising the multibillion revenue needed to help defray war costs.
How to apply the levy to the nation's 35,000,000 taxpayers and what
yardstick to use had been the subject of numerous recommendations.
The treasury department gave its
support to a bill by Sen. Bennett
Clark for a new 19 per cent withholding tax. Added to the prevailing 5 per cent Victory tax this would
mean a total of 24 per cent withheld from payrolls.
Under the Clark program the payas-you-go plan would be inaugurated
March 15. The taxpayer would file
his income tax return on that date
and pay his first quarterly 1943 taxes
on the basis of his 1942 income. The
withholding tax would then be effective on weekly or monthly paychecks, as well as on income from
interest and dividends.
Persons not on payrolls such as
&lt;.1rmers, independent business men,
1&gt;rofessional people and others could
pay their taxes on a monthly or
quarterly basis.

Economists had long been aware
of the war's menacing impact on
American small business, but their
statistical discourses attracted little public notice. It remained for
vocal Secretary of Interior Harold
L. Ickes to dramatize the little business man's plight when he declared
that the country now faces "the brutal fact that the war can be the final,
crushing blow to small business."
Pointing out that "the major portion of war production contracts are
going to a few large corporations,"
Mr. Ickes told the senate small business committee that "should the
small business man go, we all will
go."
Mr. Ickes warned that "we must
guard against the loss of our traditional freedom of enterprise, a loss
that would result in creating a dictatorship by a few corporations and
cartels over our jobs."

When the chapter of war history
dealing with the Battle of New
Guinea is written, it will be one ot
the most important in the whole
book. That is ...-hat military meB
here tell me.
They began telling me that bit by
bit just before the second front in
Africa opened. Then the African
story wiped everything else ofT the
first pages. Recently they have been
talking about New Guinea again.
They keep saying to me a little reproachfully, "the American peopledon't realize what MacArthur has
achieved down in that jungle country."
These aren't the "MacArthur
men"-there are such in the army~
a little group of hero worshipen who
perhaps worship a bit more fervently
than logically. But the men whohave watched the New Guinea campaign from Moresby straight up over
the Owen Stanley range and down
the other side and up to the eastern
coast of the island tell me that MacArthur and the leaders he has about
him have done a great and a significant job.
It is great because he has accomplished what it was freely predicted
the Japs could not do (and didn't).
It is significant because it has proved
that Australians and Americans, given the training, can beat the Jap at
his own game. They can (and have)
beaten him with less training, with·
out the fatalistic quality of the Jap,
whose religion is to die rather than
surrender even when dying isn't a
military necessity.
There are two reasons, which military men put forward why the battle
of New Guinea has not been painted
in its true colors-represented in its
true importance. One Is the fact
that MacArthur leans backward in
his communiques.
Another is a
peculiar copy-desk prejudice o!
American newspapers, which causes
them to play down reports from the
distance and play up the reports
from the war department in Wash·
ington.
There are two reasons why MacArthur's reports are given out from
his headquarters in Australia instead
of by the war department in Washington. One is that the Australians
(and perhaps MacArthur) want it
that way, and another is because
American newspapers, who pay a
lot of money to keep correspondents
in that area, don't like to have their
men scooped by Washington.

That sounded very bad to me, so
I called up the offices of Senator
Downey of California and Senator
McFarland of Arizona, who are
members of a special committee
holding hearings in California and
New Mexico on this question of imported farm labor.

their money in planting the long·
staple cotton the government wants.
Neither Senator Downey's office
nor Senator McFarland's had any
comments on the padrone system.
Then I talked with a department
of agriculture official. He was o!
the opinion that the contracts had
worked out fairly well, and he pointed out that there was an "ideological" as well as a practical objection on the part of the farmers
to the contract-the objection to establishing a minimum wage for farm
labor.
Here are three quite different viewpoints. They reoresent a tiny fraction of the tangle which Washington
has to untangle, has to reconcile.
If Washington is a madhouse, wh()
made it mad?

WNU Service, 1343 B Street, N-W,
Washington, D. C.
What has happened to the scheme
tor bringing Mexican labor into the
United States to help fill the gap
left by the drain which industry and
the draft have made on the farm?
In trying to get an answer to that
question I turned up some rather
interesting data which I wish to submit as an answer to that slur on our
fair city that you hear frequently
these days: "Washington is a mad
house." It may at least explain what
makes the wild cat wild.
I first went to an official in one
of the war agencies with my query
about Mexican labor. He is a very
energetic, sincere worker, an antiNew Dealer, who is here trying to
do his share to win the war. I am
not permitted to use his name. He
said:
.
"Somebody in our government with
a lot of high ideals went to the
Mexican government and made an
agreement to send Mexican laborers
to the United States. They arranged
to have a contract which would deal
with each laborer as a free agent
and put in all sorts of conditions
which the farmer who had to hire
him had to agree to, including housing, transportation, and a minimum
per diem rate.
"But instead of sending over ex,:~erienced farm laborers the Mexican
government gathered together a lot
·of ne'er-do-wells and hoboes. It
didn't work. In fact, the farmers got
less help than usual. The trouble
was that before the social-conscious
officials took a hand the American
farmers had been making contracts
with padrones (bosses) who got the
money and the workers, established
the working conditions and paid the
workers as they saw fit.
They
brought in trained workers and they
made them work. But the starryeyed members of the Mexican and
American governments wouldn't
hear of making use of the padrone

Senator Downey was still in California but his office was enthusiastic.
I was told about how successful the
use of this imported Mexican labor
had been under the government's
plan, in the beet industry, how it
worked in the great guayle rubber
fields of which 500,000 acres have
been planted as part of our homegrowl\ rubber program. How the
senator was arranging with the state
department for the admission of
more foreign labor.
Then I talked with Senator McFarland. He said he would go along
with Senator Downey in some of
the things but not all. He said the
farmers' complaint in Arizona was
that they got neither the quantity
nor the quality of workers they wanted. Cotton and dairy workers are
their chief needs. He said that some
of the farmers wouldn't sign a contract which the American govern·
ment required. All protested against
it. The objection was to the clause
which established a minimum daily
wage. The farmers said that the
worker came out to the field in the
morning, picked until he wanted to
quit and then weighed in. But in
order to be sure he bed worked
his minimum hours it was necessary
to have a timekeeper and a bookkeeper to check on his time and the
whole process was too expensive.

Why He I• Winning
MacArthur may have another reason fm.· not ballyhooing his achievements. He was beaten in Bataan.
He may feel that until he hes a
complete victory to his credit, he
doesn't want to sing too loudly.
But MacArthur bas won so far in
New Guinea because the men under
his command were able to do what
they never had a chance to do on
Bataan because of lack of numbers,
supplies and food.
On New Guinea they were able to
do better than the Japs could, the
very things which the Japs could do
best. And they did it in the kind o!
jungle country in which that "best"
was even better. They were able
to adapt themselves to the envir;onment which required a kind of fighting and a kind of endurance for
which the Japanese had spent years
in preparing. The kind of fighting
that resulted in the fall of Singapore
and the kind which the conventional
British soldiers-even the Far East·
ern experts-said was impossible.

Long-Staple Cotton
He said, on the whole, that the
Arizona farmer didn't get as many
workers as needed and didn't get as
good ones -as he had expected.
On the department of agriculture's
program for the next year there is
a quota of 160,000 acres of longr.taple cotton. One hundred thousand
acres are allotted to Arizona. Normally, we import most of our long·
staple cotton from abroad.
Senator McFarland said that unless
some solution of the fa1m labor
problem was reached, unless the
present contract was modified and
the Arizona farmers were assured
more and better hands at a lower
cost, they wouldn't be able to invest

Now eonUnue with the story.

CHAPTER XVI
It was still close and risky, as
they both knew. Morgan swapped a
short glance with the smiling White,
seeing a thorough understanding in
the latter's eyes. Morgan made the
&lt;iecision for both of them at this
moment, turning his horse squarely
on Herendeen. The movement pulled
White around and thus the two of
them, holding their horses to a walk,
passed down the yard in a silence
1hat had no bottom.
The river road bent around a
point. Reaching this point, ready to
turn it and shut the Three Pines
ranch house from sight, Morgan had
his backward glance. Herendeen and
his men were in the saddle, heading
for the Haycreek Hills. They were
soing after the beef, Morgan knew.
Lige White came abreast. "Clay,
I'm ashamed to say it, but I've
strung along with Ben, not liking
what's been going on around me. I
atill do not like it, but I cannot tolerate this kind of a war. Keep
away from him. The man's gone
crazy."
"A little late now," said Morgan.
••There's a fight coming. Ben's
made up his mind, and so have I.
;!;tay out of it, Lige. And see if you
can get Gurd to do the same."
Lige White said with the greatest
.reluctance: "I have hated to see
this day come."
"A long time coming," said Marcan, and put his horse to the slope.
Lige White watched him climb,
excitement mirroring brightly in his
Eyes; afterwards he continued along
the road, bound for Gurd Grant's.

Pete Borders, who bad driven the
Long Seven beef across the Haycreek Hills to Herendeen's range,
lay on a peak of the ridge throughout the middle of the day. He saw
Morgan arrive at the mr?adow-and
Jtrinned to himself at what was no
doubt in Morgan's mind. It looked
like an open steal on Herendeen's
part, which was the way Borders
wanted it to look.
Later when he saw Morgan headed for Herendeen's alone, Pete Borders grew serious and a little restless. It was, he concluded, bad
tactics on Morgan's part; and so,
taking to his horse, he went along
the Haycreek Hills until he was able
to sight the Three Pines ranch from
the heights.
Be made out the crowd in the
yard and watched the parley.
Later he saw a new rider come
elong-whicb. was Lige White-and
r;aw two of them ride away. Morgan had got out of it with a whole
skin, which relieved Borders immeasurably.
A3 soon as Morgan left Lige
White, he turned his horse to the
slope of the Haycreek Hills and presently, from a high point, he saw
Herendeen leave the valley with his
crew. Morgan calculated his margin
(1f advantage to be about twenty minntes and entered the timber at a
fast clip.
He caught up with his outfit a mile
cr two beyond the swamp. The cattle were single file, going very slowly on the crooked trail and stretched
out for three or four hundred yards.
Cap Vermilye was in front of them,
beyond sight. Fox Willing held the
rear, with Harry Jump still farther
back to cover whatever might come
up. Harry Jump was a little edgy
'With the strain of this thing; he
.showed relief at Morgan's presence.

Be made out the crowd in the 7ard and watched the parley.
They came at last to the stage
road and turned into it. From the
swamp meadow to this point had
been more than an hour's drive and
Herendeen was long overdue, leading Morgan to believe that Herendeen had circled them. The trouble, then, would come when they
reached the open country. He joined
Harry Jump, both of them hazing
the stragglers forward until the beef
was in a compact bunch. Vermilye
and Willing were fifty yards forward; now and then a cow wandered toward the jack-pine forest
surrounding them and had to be cut
back. At five o'clock they reached
the bottom of the stage road, left
the pines and swung north toward
Government Valley, three miles distant.
Herendeen was nowhere to be
seen, whereupon Harry Jump came
to his suspecting conclusions. "He
didn't want to try it in timber. He's
waitin' for us to get in the middle of
the flats. My idea is that he's watchin' us from the Potholes right now."
A similar thought had occurred to
Vermilye. He trotted back to Margan. "Now in case he comes a-bustin' out of the brush, Clay, we better
just let this beef go and hit for them
agency buildings."
"No," said Jump at once. "It's
our beef, by God."
"That's right," said Morgan.
Vermilye joill_ed Harry Jump,
both of them urgmg the cattle along
at a quicker gait. Morgan closely
watched the back trail, not auite
able to understand Herendeen's continued delay. The suspense worked
on his nerves. Once, thinking he
saw movement at the edge of the
Potholes, he turned and made a
stand, searching the black margin of
that country quite carefUlly. He had
been mistaken, however, and presently turned to catch up with the
beef. Near six o'clock, with the sun
down beyond the Cache Mountains,
they threw the beef on their own
grass near the shattered dobe buildings of the old agency.
Morgan said: "Hold this jag in a
bunch. We're not through yet. I
want Herendeen to see what we
took. Fox, if I were you I think I'd
pull freight. Thanks for comin'
along."
Willing said, idly : "Might as well
stick around."
Cap VermiJye, alwa ys a forehanded man, got a few sage stems and a
piece of old board from the nearest
building to make up a fire. He ha d
a frying pan and coffeepot in his
s a ddle roll; and some bacon and a
can of b eans. He boiled up the coffee, fl'ie d the bacon and h eated the
beans in the frying pa n's g rease.
Having no other utens ils, they took
turns at the frying pan, using their
pocket knives, and dra nk the coffee
straight from the pot. At s even
o'clock, with shadows sweeping
across Mogul's plateau, a single
horseman appeared on the high edge
of Mogul Motmtain and quartered
do~n. This was in the west, from
wh1ch Morgan expected no trouble.
Harry Jump walked deliberately to
his horse and pulled out his Winchester. Morgan said, "Hold on,
Harry." Rider and horse plodded
unhurriedly through the blue swirl
of dusk-a long stooped shape on a
rawboned animal; at a distance he
waved his arm overhead and a little later Morgan recognized the nester Gale.
Gale came up but did not dismount until Morgan gave him the
proper invitation. When the invitation came he dropped to the ground
with an old m an's stiffness; he
poised both his hands over the muzzle of his ancient gun and looked
out from beneath his twisted awning-shaped eyebrows.
"There' s some coffee left in the
pot," said Morgan.

s~:~~~: ~~utsl;uc~!~d~~e;~~~ :-~
and tipped the pnt against h·1s
mouth, drinking with an acute thirst.
Coffee ran down the seams of his
jaws. He said, "Ah," in great reiish and sponged the liquid from the
tips of his mustache with sidewise
motions of his tongue.
Morgan said: "Don·t m ean to oe
unfriendly, but m aybe you ougi"Jt to
move on."
Gale didn't smile He was past
the point of finding. amusem ent in
..bla world, but in. JUs e:¥es was a liaht

like the last glow of coals o.f a dyin&amp;
fire. "Don't you worry about me,
Mr. Morgan. It I didn't know whut
I wanted to do, I wouldn't be here."
Morgan shrugged his shoulders.
"Your funeral."
"It may be," agreed Gale composedly, "But it so, it will be a double one. At my age I'm too old to
worry about dyin' • for it is pretty
close to me at any event, and I
guess I'm poor enough not to fret
about losin' anything.
He rummaged his pockets, producing pipe and tobacco. Morgan
watched him fill the pipe and light it
and settle on his heels.
This was late September and suddenly, slightly beyond seven o'clock,
the blue-running shadows turned to
gunmetal gray and afterwards to
full night. The haze of autumn lay
over the land. Through this filtered
a strong moonlight creating the effeet of woolly clouds banked against
the earth. Morgan led rus horse to
the remnant wall of the nearest dobe
building and walked on until he stood
alone, facing the open south. Fox
Willing was in the saddle, circling
the held bunch of beeves. The job
was done and, as far as the cattle
were concerned, there wasn't any
need of staying here. Yet Morgan
knew that this waiting was neces·
sary. Herendeen was somewhere in
the yonder night. The big man had
avoided a meeting in the timbf!r,
he had delayed this pursuit; but hj
was out there and he would com.:.
Nothing changed much, Morgan
realized. Herendeen had faced him
for ten years, never giving ground,
never able to forget. It was something that would not dim or die, it
was a force that drove Herendeen.
Thinking about that, Morgan admitted the same force drove him. Whatever the outward reasons, whatever
the open quarrels and excuses, there
was a deeper reason still-the native, chemical animosities of two
men born to be opposite in all
things, born to collide and to destroy. It was past explanation.
Stationed like this, apart from the
group and facing southward, he
h~ard Herendeen at last approach,
hidden by the pulsing fog. Off there
a stea dy rhythm rose, of horses
moving at a slow run and prese ntly
slowing to a walk. · Shadows appeared in the fog, and shapeless out·
lines . Fox Willing came in from
the herd, dismounting a nd putting
his horse near the dobe wall. He
walked over to Morg~:~n. Vermilye
and Jump had risen and had taken
position not far from the wall . Gale
w a s out of sight.
Herendeen's party showed as a
wide scatter of shadows on the de s·
e rt. The y we re ha lte d, two hundred
fee t away. He re ndeen said:
"Morgan, I'm com ing in to cut that
bunch of stock and look it over for
my brand."
Morgan said: "None of your cows
in it, Ben."
"I'll s ee for myself."
Those shadows were too vag ue to
be counted but Morgan knew He ren·
d een had at least e ight men around
him and he also knew Here ndeen'E
intention-which was to build up a
fi ght on any grounds. He said :
"Charley Hillhouse there?"
"No. I'm coming in."
Morgan said: "Nothing here for
you, Ben. Stay back."
Herendeen's voice boomed out
"You know the rules of the country
It's my privilege to cut any man'l
range for my stock. I claim there'l
Three Pines cows in that bunch."
"If there are," s aid Morgan cool
ly, "I'll send them back tomorrow.'
"I want 'em now."
"You're in a hurry an of a sud

ly. "I sent word to you some tim•
ago to cle an your stuff out of thi
valley and you didn't seem to figur&lt;

"You goin' against the rules?"

Winter Breakfasts

This Week's Breakfast

Though the wind may howl moanfully and the icicles crackle coldly
at your window
these
mornings
when you arise
to meet the day
and all its tasks,
a hot, well-balanced breakfast
is bound to bring
you to the alert
in double quick
time. Fruit or fruit juice will wake
you first, then eggs, hot cereal,
rolls or flapjacks will do the rest
toward getting you on your way.
Citrus: fruit crops are especially
good this winter and will be at your
breakfast service with all their ri~h
vitamins, minerals and health-giving qualities. Their sparkle and
freshness will give you a new start
these busy mornings.
Vitamin Cereals.
It's a wonderful idea to follow up
the fruit course with one of those
quickly prepared hot cereals which
are so rich in vitamin Bl-~hat
important vitamin you need daily
for preventing nervousness, fatigue
and restlessness.
There are several ways of doing
up the hot cereals. The quick-cooking wheat and oat cereals may be
readlly prepared along with the rest
of breakfast-in just a few minutes'
time. If you have a deep-well cooker on an electric range you can
place the cereal in glass jars along
with dried fruits you are able to
obtain, turn on the unit overnight,
and have fruit and cereal ready-toeat.
Don't hesitate at cooking the
quick-cooking cereals longer- they
are improved in flavor and more
palatable if you give them a few
extra minutes.
Coddled Eggs.
Coddled or soft cooked eggs are
made by bringing a sauce pan of
water to a good boil. Then tum out
the heat, transfer into it the eggs
with a spoon. Cover and let stand 5 to
10 minutes d epending upon the consist ency of egg you desire. This is
a good way to fix eggs- you can
pla ce them in the water while
you're ge tting the rest of the bre akfast.
Change Your Breakfasts.
Fried mus h is a wonderful bre akfast food; serve it with syrup, butter and honey, and e ven fri ed apple
rings-for a late Sunday morning
feast.
Toasted English muffins ~earned
with poached eggs- and a piece of
broiled ham inbetween will work
wonders toward
ge tting the family on its way out
of bed.
Packaged pancake n: ixtures
will speed up the
tempo at breakfast time. Serve them with butter
or vitaminized margarine-honey
and butter syrup, melted together,
or dark corn syrup flavored with a
maple extract are all that could be
desired, luscious indeed.

Hunted Camels in U. S.
Early settlers of the American
West (1870-'80) relished the meat
of the wild camel. Camel steaks
were a favorite dish. These wi'ld
camels were descendants of a herd
imported from Egypt for army use
ln 1856.
Turned loose because they caused
horses to stampede (camels have a
strange odor), the camels multiplied rapidly until wiped out by
American hunters in search of the
fine-flavored meat.

Blue Light Not Suitable
Although blue lights frequently
have been recommended for use in
blackouts, light of that color is highly undesirable. The human eye,
especially when adjusted to see under low illumination, can detect
green and blue light at a distance
much more readily than red or yellow light. Because of this, blue
light is objectionable as an illuminant, for it can be readily seen by
aerial observers.
Another reason why blue light is
undesirable is because it penetrates
the atmosphere for a greater distance than does light on the red
end of the spectrum. This fact 1s
demonstrated in the blue sky. The
sky is blue because some of the
red rays of sun light are filtered out
by atmospheric particles. Less of
the blue rays are stopped by the
air, which makes the sky appear
to be blue.
Supplies U. S. Tropical Needs
The Central American republic of '
Costa Rica, whose declaratiOns of
war coincided with those of the
United States, felt the first impact
of war recently when a torpedo sank
a ship at dock in its principal harbor of Puerto Limon, on the Caribbean coast. Costa Rica has become
increasingly important as a source
of war-short commodities, notably
high-grade coffee and cocoa. Coffee
is the country's largest export crop.
The many volcanoes in Costa Rica
have wrought havoc in the past, but
they also proauced the soil of the
high, rolling central section, which
is very productive, and is especially
suited to the growing of coffee. This
Meseta Central lies from 3,000 to
5,000 feet abvve sea level.
Watch for Cork Oaks
Raw cork is the bark of a specie;;
of evergreen oak. Cork is peeled
off every few years. It grows in
mountainous parts of Spain, Portu·
gal and North Africa where there
are probably about 5,000,000 acres
of cork oaks. The United States
alone uses about 40 per cent of the
total pmduction. With shipments
seriously curtailed by war, the department of agriculture is fostering production of supplies or substitutes grown at home or in Latin
America. Formerly we imported
about $10,000,000 worth of cork a
year. Unfortunately there are only
a few thousand cork trees growing
in the United States. There are
several plantations in Cal1fornia,
the most successful at the Chico
Forest station.

toward each other they reflected all
the jealousies and suspicions which
had prevented unity of the English

"Washington had to face not

furious mutinies among the private soldiers, but also the most
exquisitely embarrassing feuds
among his officers with threats
of wholesale resignations," writes
his biographer, Rupert Hughes.

of a "house divided against itself"
but even in his own "family" there
was dissension and disunity.
When the war began many Democrats, among them Stephen A. Dou~­
las, steadfastly SU}!lported the President but others violently opposed
a war which they declared had resulted from the election of a Republican President. It was this group
who brought into existence the
Knights of the Golden Circle, the
secret organization of ·the Copperheads, who criticized the conduct of
the war, hoped to gain control of
the government and make some sort
of compromise peace with the South.
Even within his own party Lincoln
had enemies who tried to thwart his
efforts to !lave the Union. One faction induced congress to create a
Committee on the Conduct of the
War which was almost as damaging
to the war effort as the activities of
the Copperheads.
Stormy as was the political situation when the second year of the
war began, the military situation
was more encouraging. In the West
Fort Henry had fallen, "Unconditional Surrender" Grant had taken Fort
Donelson, and Farragut had captured New Orleans. But in the East,
then regarded as the most important theater of war, a military genius
named Robert E. Lee was threatening Washington and another military
genius named "Stonewall" Jackson
was outmaneuvering and outfighting
every Union commander sent against
him in the Shenandoah valley.
McClellan Fails.
In March, General McClellan, the
Union commander, had begun his
Peninsular campaign "which for
numbers engaged and losses suffered sutpassed any previous operation in North America." By June it
was apparent U1at the campaign
had failed and that the volunteer
system could not produce the number of men needed for replacements aftar the blood bath McClellan had given the' Union army. In a
confidential message to the state
governors Lincoln appealed for 100,000 new troops, saying "I would publicly appeal to the country for this
new force were it not that I fear a
general panic and stampede would
follow, so hard it is to have a thing
understood as it is."
This appeal brought him the
troops he needed but, having lost
confidence in McClellan, he placed
General Pope in command. / The result was the terrible defeat at the
second Battle of Manassas and McClellan was again in the saddle.
Thereupon Lee invaded Maryland
and was stopped at the Battle of
Antiet am, after which he recrossed
the Potomac. McClellan might have
crushed Lee but failed to do so.
Lincoln again removed "Little Mac"
and gave command to General Burnside, whose attack on Fredericksburg resulted in the loss of 10,000
Union dead and wounded.
So the year ended in fa ilure and
a deep gloom settled over the North.
Even greater was the depression in
the White House, for the e lection of
Horatio Seymour, the Democrat, in
New York, was r egarded as a repudiation of Lincoln's conduct of the
war. He could not foresee that the
nex t year would bring the turning
point of the war with the victories
at Vicksburg and Gettysburg- both
achieved on the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Four months later the Great
Emancipator journeyed to one of
those battlefields and there delivered an immortal address.
"If Abraham Lincoln were alive
today," the message that he might
give to an America engaged in a
struggle with the most deadly enemy
of freedom the world has ever
known would be a quotation from
the Gettysburg Address. It is the
reassurance :
"That this nation under God shall
have a new birth of freedom, and
that government of the people, by
the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth ! "

&lt;See Recipes Below)

Warm Welcome!
These are days when families are
divided and diminished, and there
comes the urge to
say to the neighbor, come take
"pot-luck" supper
with us. Thus,
your: neighbor will
bring over some
salad and muffins
and herself and
the youngster, you can make a main
dish and dessert, and have company
with it besides!
It's heart-warming to visit, too,
and have someone to help with the
meal if your once-big family is
somewhat reduced. Most people welcome a visit now and then with just
one of the ordinary meals-and potluck is the perfect answer.
Your first must-not with pot-luck
is do not fuss. Just get together on
who is to bring what-and have what
you ordinarily would have. Your
plans need not be made with campaign-like precision, simply do it on
the spur of the moment, since this
makes for spontaneity.
Let's take it easy on meat with
some grand casserole dishes-including this on shrimp and crabmeat
with a crisp, corn-flake crust:
*Baked Shrimp Salad.

% cup minced onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup cooked crabmeat, flaked
1 cup cooked shrimp, cleaned

2 cups corn flakes
*cup butter
Combine all ingredients and mix
well together. Place in individual
shell dishes or one large casserole.
Cover with crushed corn flakes, dot
with butter, and sprinkle paprika
over top. Bake in a moderate oven
(350 degrees) about 30 minutes.
Serve with lemon.
Spaghetti's a fine dish to serve at
pot luck. Should hamburger supplies be low, try some of Sunday's
leftover chicken in the sauce:

Use cooked meat or fish seasoned and moistened with cream

NE of the little things that wo:ries a careful housekeeper JS
the soiling of wallpaper around
switch-plates. Fumbling fingers in
the dark may leave marks that cannot easily be erased. This situation can be made easier through the
use of a sheet of thin transparent
celluloid, or of heavy cellophane.
The switch-plate is taken off, which
can be easily done by releasing the
screws that show in the face. Usually there are two, but for plates
that combine two switches, or a
switch and an outlet there may be
four. The switch-plate is laid on the
sheet of transparent material, and a
piece cut out an inch or two larger,
all around. The inside is also cut
out to a size smaller than the switchplate, so that when the plate is returned to position, the inner edge
will be nipped, and the entire sheet
pressed against the wall.
Being
transparent, the wallpaper pattern
will show through, and the addition
will hardly be noticed.
Even
greasy and perspiring fingers will
leave no traces, or if they do, they
can easily be wiped out with a damp
cloth.
Peeling Paint on Bathroom Walls
Question: The QP.int on our bathroom walls is peeling badly; we
should like to repaint but are afraid
that the same thing might happen
again. The worst spot is around
the sink, where water splashes on
the walls.
Answer:
Ordinary fiat
paint
should not be used in bathroom or
kitchen. For the best modern effeet, finish your bathroom walls at
least halfway up with wall linoleum
or with tile. For the rest of 'the
wall you can use wall cloth, which
is waterproof and comes in handsome designs. Another choice would
be glossy enamel. If you cannot
use linoleum or tile, wall cloth or
enamel can be used for all the wall,
except around the showe r. There
the plaster of the walls should h ave
a waterproof covering; wall cloth
will serve in this instance.
Wallpaper Patch
Wallpaper of the same pattern
can be used to cover a marred
place on a papered wall. The paper
should not be cut, for the edges
would show up in a strong light.
The paper should be torn from the
back, which will give the front surface a feathery edge that will not
be conspicuous. Library paste,
somewhat thinned with water, can
be used, or regular wallpaper paste.
Spread this liberally on the back
of the patch, place the patch on the
wall and slide it around to fit in
with the pattern on the wall. Then
brush from the center toward the
edges, pressing closely to squeeze
out excess paste and air bubbles.
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off
any paste that oozes out.

Weather is war's most uncertain factor. Not even the great
captains from Belisarius on to
Stonewall Jackson (an&lt;l Timoshenko) could win if it blew too
hard against them. And it is the
belief of Reichelderfer that tacticians take it too little into account. Chief, now, of the United
States weather bureau, he would
have a weather forecaster with
every naval and military unit on
its own. Tbere aren't enough
military forecasters for this,
yet, but Reichelderfer is buttonholing all the generals and admirals.
Forty-seven years oJd, the bureau
chief is sharp-nosed, lean, baldish
and square-chinned. By the time
he had a science degree from Northwestern university he was sure
weather was his dish, and he did
extra studying in Norway. The navy
got him in 1918 and for 20 years he
was about its most weatherwise officer . . . aviator, aerologist and
finally commander. He spent a lot
of time at the naval air station
in Lakehurst, N. J., until he quit
the service for the bureau.
He is married and has a son.
After years of wisecracks from disappointed picnickers he understands
the risks of prophecy. "I doubt,"
he said a while back, "if many
know how brave the weather forecaster is who steps up to a survey
map and makes a forecast for tomorrow." When the fate of a battle
hangs on the forecast you can bet
your bottom dollar he is brave.

the monsoon in Assam stopping the
Japanese advance, and many
newspapers spoke of Cherrapunji,
in that state, as the wettest plnce
in the world. Well, Cherr.aptmji
is certainly moist. For 40 yenrs
its average rainfall has been 426
inches for each 12 months. Once
there were 30 inches a day for 5
da:rs on end, and 40 inches fell
in one day on June 11, 1873.
Yet Cherrapunji is not the wettest place on our planet. That distinction belongs to Waialeale, in

The Suez canal, vital shipping link

defensive position if the British are
forced to retire eastward from the

Having no locks, the sea level
Suez canal is relatively safe from
damage by bombing and shelling,
and it probably could not easily be
"scorched'' by retiring defender:&gt;:.
D amage that could be inflicted on
the canal either by attackers or by

probably would be limited to the destruction of tprminal breabvaters

convince him that 01.i're the de·
pendable, mode,t type, that you are
not a "gold-digger," and don't use
excessive make-up.
In a test just completed, men students from five universities !ish d
gold-digging and excessive make-up
as among the qualities they mo::;t
intensely dislike.
"Men date the pmpular girl but
marry the dependable one" was
marked "true" by a vast majority
of the 25'3 men. The 264 co-eds,
however, were not so sure.
Men students believed that no one
should marry before he was 25;
women students disagreed. Co-eds
believed that unintelligent people
should not marry; men disagreed.
The g\rls believed that goad-lool:in~
individuals have less sense than
ordinary-looking persons; the men
were not so sure.
Buth men and women students,
however, agreed that girls who use
powder and rouge profusely are Jess
modest than the average girl, that
people of widely different races and
faiths should not marry, and that
girls who date very little are very
modest.

Pay as You Go
Before this year is half gone, unless all signs fail, the United States
Government will be collecting taxes
on 1943 incomes as they are earned.
The President, the Treasury and
leaders in both the House and the
Senate favor son•e kind of pay-asyou-go plan for income tax collection. Specific provisions have not
been worked out. The law is still in 1
the making. But features of suggested plans are much alike and
are being discussed freely.
The main idea in taking taxPs out
of current income is to collect revenue while the people have the money which is sound. In the case of
an' employee, tax payments likely
will be deducted directly from salary checks and pay envelopes, and
the worker will never handle the
money at all. Such a method might
(but not likely) get started before
March 15, when payments on 1942
income toxes will be due.
What About 1912 Taxes?
Fully three times as many people J
will be paying income tax this year,
as ever before. New taxpayers, as
well as the old ones, already are
wondering about 1942 taxes. They
ask three main questions. (1) Will I
be expected to pay last year's taxes
at the same time I am paying this
year's taxes? (2) Will we skip 1942
and, if so, will the government lose
a year's revenue? (3) Will the 1942
taxes be suspended now and dropped
on our necks right after the war
when, most likely, we will be having
a spell of hard times?
Matter-of-fact statements of some
plain facts will answer two of those
questions: The average American
who earned anything last year is not
able this year to pay taxes at current rates on two years of income.
Especially is this true of a typical
farmer. His last year's earnin~s
are gone, because he had operated
at a loss for several previous years,
and obligations that were hanging
over took his 1942 profits. T\YO
years' taxes in one year will not
leave him a living.
Postponement Is Worse
Suspending the 1942 taxes temporarily, and perhnp:; spreading them
out over several future years, is a
sorry suggestion. If the taxpayer,
especially the farmer, is not able to
pay two years' taxes in 1943 when he
is earning something, certainly he
can't lift such a burden in a postwar depression. Farmers were bit
harder than any other group of citizens after the last war and they
have every reason to expect the
same thing to happen after World
War II.
Question No. 2, above, is doublebarrelled. The answer to the first
half of it is "Yes." If the vast majority of people can't pay 1942's income taxes this year, nor in several
post-war years, we should skip 1942
for them. It is the only sensible thing
to do because it can be proved absolutely that skipping 1942 will not cost
the government one penny in revenue. Let me start the proof with a
homespun illustration:
1942 Is Only a Date
My first experience with income
taxes came in 1931. The rules exempted me that year but I had a
friend who paid a small amount.
Old form 1040-A called it a tax on his
1930 income but that was really a
misnomer. My friend, like nearly
everybody else, had spent all he
earned in 1930 and whatever tax he
paid in 1931 came right out of his
1931 earnings. He knew it was his
1931 income that was "taxed" and
that 1930 was nothing but a place to
start figuring.
That plan is no longer suitable.
Tax rolls are larger. now, people
earn more, rates are higher and exemptions are lower. Incomes are
higher even than they were a year
ago, and for that reason a pay-asyou-go plan will yield the Treasury
more revenue in 1943 than could be
raised by the old system. Under a
pay-as-you-go plan, taxes will be
paid this year just as in previous
years. We will not skip a year of
paying. We will only discard 1942
as a basis of figuring.
Every year since 1914 when Americans started paying income taxes
we have pretended to pay on earnings of the year before. Thus every taxpayer has stayed technically
in debt to the government for a year
or more of taxes. Millions of people never did pay the debt, of
course. Every year a certain number have died or suffered from illness or drouth or fires. These have
quit earning incomes and failed to
pay tax on the previous year.
Now, to Catch Up
A good pay-as-you-go plan will
save the government these paper
losses and lift a technical debt from
the taxpayers. This is important
because after the war all taxpayers
and especially farmers have a depression to face. Depressions are
calamities, like fires and sickness
and drouth. They mean years when
(under the present plan) we would
be asked to pay taxes on a by-gone
year of good income and have little
or nothing to pay with.
Some types of workers might escape back taxes if they had no money but a farmer can't escape. He
has land that can be levied upon.
It was wisdom that led the National
Grange and the American Farm Bureau Federation both to go on record recently in favor of pay-as-youflO income taxes.

Successful Game Bird Season
Iowa proclaims that 1942 brought
the finest upland game bird season
in the state's history, and calls its
first 21-day pheasant season "a success from almost every standpoint,"
reporting plenty of birds through
the entire season. Easy limits appear to have been the rule at the
start, but birds are said to have
become wiser and warier as the season wore on, sitting tight in heavy
cover or flushing far out of gun
range. However, experienced, hard
working hunters managed to get
their limits in many localities
throughout the season. Sufficient
pheasants are reported left to produce a good crop next year under
favorable conditions.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

From "New Guinea came Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's consoling announcement that American casualties in the victorious Papuan cam·
paign were less than half the Japanese losses. Previous statements had
said that a Japanese Papuan army
of 15,000 had been wiped out. This
indicated American casualties might
have totaled 7 ,000, including those incapacitated by sickness.
As General MacArthur consolidated his forces for the drive to clear
the enemy out of the ~est of New
Guinea, military activity was limited to continuous bombing of enemy
bases. The raids included a heavy
concentration on Lae, which is expected to be the next target of MacArthur's offensive operatiO!lS.
The navy department disclosed
that a new Jap air base established
within easy raiding distance of
Guadalcanal in the Solomons had
been strongly attacked by American
bombers. The new Jap airfield is on
Ballale island, ~bout 300 miles north·
west of Henderson airfield on Guadalcanal.
The navy likewise announ(:ed that
in air action over Wake island, a
number of Jap Zero planer. had been
shot down, while all United States
aircraft had returned safely to their

CORN GROWERS:
Reap Big Bene/its
Corn belt farmers and western
wheat growers will get the lion's
share of the $595,500,000 in benefit
payments to be distributed among
growers for complying with last
year's federal crop control pro·
grams, it was indicated in a prelim·
inary report of the department of
agriculture on 1942 farm subsidies.
Southern cotton farmers will get
the smallest amount since 1936,
largely because of the improved
price position of this crop.
The department's figures disclosed
that payments to wheat farmers will
total $133,477,000, compared with
$107,353 for the 1941 crop. Corn
payment~&gt; will amount to $188,219.000, which is the record for that
crop. Payments on the 1941 crop
totaled $130,186,000.
Cotton payments for 1942 will
amount to about $78,833,000, compared with $184,957,000 in 1941 and a
peak of $265,595,000 for the 1938 crop.
Until the 1942 crop year, cotton payments exceeded those for any other
commodity.

TUNISIA:
Activity Stepped Up

HITLER:
Produce or Die

Indications that the long awaited
offensive to drive the Axis out of
North Africa might be near, were
seen in reports of the recapture of
several central Tunisian positions
with which the enemy had sought to
form a line of protection for the
flanks of Marshal Rommel's army
retreating into Tunisia from Libya.
Conferences 6f top American and
British military chiefs in Casablanca
even after the departure of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill had emphasized the importance of the next Allied moves.
Lieut. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's
American forces had driven the Germans back from six to nine miles
in the Ousseltia Valley and had
pressed steadily toward a pass
through which Rommel's troops
must pass in their effort to join German Gen. Von Arnim's army.
Rommel's widely strung out rear
guard had been constantly under attack by General Montgomery's B itish Eighth army.
One of the h~artening features of
the American activity was that this
drive had recaptured several positions of tactical importance previously lost by the French when German armored units had smashed
through their lines.

Significant of even sterner measures ahead on the Nazi home front
was Adolf Hitler's decree imposing
compulsory labor service on all German men from 16 to 65 and all
women from 17 to 45 and hinting
the death penalty awaited slackers.
Observers who had been puzzled
for weeks over Nazi radio propaganda stressing the seriousness of
the military situation in Russia now
readily saw that this device had
been employed to prepare the German people for new sacrifices of a
most bitter and stringent nature.
Clearly Hitler was trying desperately to solve his manpower problem. Allied military experts estimated Germany must recruit at least
1,000,000 new men to fill the gaps in
her army.

AIR BLOWS:
By 'All-American' Team
0minously prophetic of more and
deadlier blows at the heart of G~r­
man industries and naval bases
were the first "All-American" daylight bombing attacks in which
swarms of unescorted Flying Fortresses and Liberators smashed at
the naval base of Wilhelmshaven
and industrial installations at Emden.
While three of the unescorted
American bombers were lost on the
Wilhelmshaven-Emden raids, United
States headquarters said that a
"number" of enemy planes were de•troyed.
Hitler's northern flank was given
a pounding when the shipyards in
Copenhagen, Denmark, hitherto unscathed, were bombed by the RAF.
The principal targets of this raid
were U-boat engine factories which
are working for Germany.

RUSSIA:
Cause for Rejoicing
With President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill's joint note
in his hands promising decisive
blows in the West, "Uncle Joe"
Stalin could look with considerable
satisfaction on affairs in the East.
How well the Russian offensives
were going was indicated by a
steady parade of Soviet communiques reporting successes all along
the line. The Red army had driven
forward to within 60 miles of Rostov,
with the recapture of the railroad
towns of Ataman and Yegorlyk. To
the north, the Ukrainian offensive
westward from captured Voronezh
had pressed on to within 80 miles of
the big Nazi base of Kursk, with the
reoccupation of Gorsehechnoye.
The Russian· Stalingrad trap had
closed its jaws on all but a few
scattered remnants of the 200 Axis
divisions of 200,000 men who had
besieged that industrial stronghold.

DRAFT CALL:
Faces Fathers in '43
Evidence mounted that the drafting of married men with children
would be under way before the end
of 1943, following the U. S. high
command's announcement that the
nation's armed forces would total
10,420,000 this year.
Observers recalled a statement
some time ago by Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, selective service chief,
indicating that the supply of childless married men would last only
about 10 months. The statement inferred that drafting of men with
children would beg1n around next
October if 10,000,000 or more were
to be called without drafting 18 and
19 year olds.
Since General Hershey spoke, the
minimum draft age has been lowered to include those age brackets,
but the gain thus made in the number of draft eligibles has been offset by deferment of all men 38
years or older, apparently reinstating his forecast.

NAZI PEACE:
Offensive Is Nipped
As political observers viewed in
perspective President Roosevelt's
historic North Africa conference
with Prime Minister Churchill, the
conviction grew that one of the most
significant but unheralded results of
that meeting was the forestalling of
a prospective new German peace offensive.
For several months it had been
evident in world chancellories that
Hitler would offer a compromise
peace as part of his 1943 plans. Reports had indicated that his proposals would be made through nonbelligerent Spain and would include
an offer to withdraw from Western
Europe while still retaining territories occupied in Poland, Russia and
the Balkans.
In the light of these disclosures
the Casablanca declaration that the
Allied nations would be satisfied with
nothing short of the unconditional
surrender of Germany, Italy and
Japan, definitely destroyed this spurious peace offensive.
President Roosevelt's visit with
President Vargas of Brazil at Natal,
en route home, was significant of the
solidity of South America's adhesion
to the Allies. Observers believed
Axis peace moves would make no
dent in Latin America, even if made
through still-neutral Argentine.

"shipments to Russia were larger

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D. C.
"It will be a long and bitter war."
That was the remark of the Australian minister of defense in a recent interview. Two days later,
I heard a general, who had visited
many fronts, make a similar statement. You have heard the same
prediction made from dozens of officials. And the strange thing is, it
is usually preceded with an account
of Allied successes. Nothing but a
"but" stands between the enumeration of victories achieved and the
prediction of the long, hard road
ahead.
Since this perplexed me, I tried
to get a concrete answer from various persons as to just what lies on
the long, hard road. Out of the answers, two obstacles stand out, the
submarine and the story of the "vanishing Luftwaffe." Only recently has
it been definitely revealed that the
enemy's greatest and most effective
weapon is the submarine. For a
long time, the British permitted only
the most general statements regarding the sinking of Allied or even
neutral ships by U-boats. Lately,
because it was realized that the people were in ignorance of the extent
of this menace, more detailed statements have been made, although
still no figures are given out.
We know that America is building
ships faster than American ships
are being sunk. We know that the
margin between launchings and
sinkings is very narrow. And we
know that launchings alone do not
really balance sinkings hull for hull
1 because
the enemy sinks loaded
ships-valuable cargoes are destroyed-trained men not easily or
immediately replaceable are killed
Ol' at least taken out of action for
long perio~gaps are left in the
war effort with each lost cargo.
When I was in Berlin covering the
outbreak of the European war in
1939, I heard a great deal of talk
about Germany's counter-blockade,
how the Nazis could fill seas with
their U-boats. There was much talk
uf the great numbers which could
be produced by the American method of the assembly line. I had no
idea how much truth there was in
those statements. Then in the
months that followed, not much was
said about the U-boats. For a period when they were operating on
our coasts, Am erica was conscious
of their presence but when they
~ere driven out of sight of our
s110res, thty were driven OPt of mind
as well.

think that this, at least to a large
degree, is true. But that explanation does not seem reasonable.

German Advancea
In Synthetic Ga11
We know that Germany has made
remarkable advances in the manufacture of synthetic gasoline and
oils. We know that some oil has
been retrieved from the Maikop oil
fields in Russia, new ones developed
in Austria.
If Germany is not yet starved of
gasoline and lubricants, if the Luftwaffe has not really disappeared
from the earth, its absence from the
air may have an0ther meaning. We
know that in spite of the heavy German losses in men and material in
Russia, Germany still has a large
and powerful army. Possibly over
300 fully equipped divisions-trained
men.
It is estimated that aside from
soldiers engaged in Russia and
North Africa, the garrisons in the
occupied countries, there must be a
striking mobile army of a million
men and more. Of course, these
are estimates but they are not overestimates. And besides this army
there is the "vanished Luftwaffe."
The assumption is that this great
army like the airforce is resting,
conserving and building up its
strength for one of two things: ei·
ther a long, last stand defense of
the borders of the Reich or one
more powerful offensive.
Meanwhile, we know that every
day that Japan is allowed to occupy
the rich possessions of her stolen
empire, she is nearer to the ex·
ploitation of their resources, the de·
velopment of which will make her
stronger. And every day she is left
undisturbed by a major attack, she
is able to increase her fortifications,
wear down the Chinese and spread
her "silver bullets" amon g the less
loyal war-lord followers on the
fringe of Chiang Kai-shek's central
army.
There are two factors which malce
the road ahead a hard one-the present successful operation and the
rapid replacement of the German
submarine flotilla and the probability that Germany IS holding back a
powerful army and air force either
for another telling blow or to de·
fenri its strongly fortified terrain.

In the following silence Clay at
once sensed that Janet was struggling with her loyalty to Ann McGarrah. She said: "I don't know,
Daddy. Do you like her a lot? As
much as you like Ann?"
He said: "Maybe I do, Janey.
I'm going to town now. Better
sleep."
She turned in the bed, her small
body curled beneath the blankets
and her head sinking into the pillow.
She murmured: "It is like having
a mother. It really is."
He went out of her room. There
was a difference in women nobody
could explain, an understanding, or
a touch, or some mysterious fragrance of personality some had and
some did not have.
Fox Willing was in the room with
Lige White; the rest of the crew had
left the house. Catherine waited for
him downstairs.
"Janey wants you to stay on tonight."
·
She moved around the table. She
put this distance between them deliberately, no longer smiling. "I
can't do that, Clay. Not now."
He said: "I keep forgetting it
wouldn't look right to you. Well, I
don't know what you've done to Janet, but you did it."
She said with some concern: "You
don't mind, Clay? I wanted her to
like me-and that's why I came!"
He said, still in wonder: "How
did you do it?"
Her eyes showed him a warm,
deep shining. "She's still a girl,
Clay, wanting to believe little-girl
things and live in the land of makebelieve. She knows those things
aren't so, but she wants the comfort of them a little while longer.
And I talked to her as though those
things were good things."
"Wait until I get back from town
and I'll ride home with you."
"I'm not afraid of the ride, Clay."
But she closed her lips, color rising
on her cheeks.
"Hate to have you go alone."
"Then I'll wait.''
Harry Jump joined him in the
yard, but Morgan shook his head.
"I won't be long, and you've got to
watch this place."
Jump had saddled a fresh horse
for him; and now he lined out for
town along a road smothered by a
deep, moon-shot fog whose thickness
touched him and seemed to break
as he went through it. The lights
of WP..r Pass didn't show until he
had turned into the main street. He
went at once to Doc Padden's house,
hailing him out. "Lige White's in a
bad way, at my place. I'll go back
with you."
Padden said, in rough regret, "Everything happens. Wait a minute."
He went into the house for his hat
and bag and walked down Custer
Street with Morgan. "You heard the
latest? Hillhouse killed Breathitt. He
brought Breathitt into town and went
out again."
They were near the stable when
Morgan stopped. "In town?" he said.
"Go ahead, Padden, I'll catch up
with you."
Padden said: "Hillhouse bought a
quart of whisky and started back to
Three Pines. I guess it was on his
soul, as God knows it should have
~en.
Billy Wells came in a few
minutes ago. He saw a team and
wagon standing at the edge of Cache
River near the Cottonwood forct, so
he went over to look. Hillhouse sat
against one of the trees. Guess he
finished the bottle first. The re was
one bullet hole through the tree and
another through his head. He killed
himself."
Padden was a rough-handed man,
made so by the kind of gunshot medicine he practiced; but he had his
rnotr.ents of insight and now walked
to the stable without looking around.
Morgan stood in the street' s dust until he saw Padden ride away, theo
be turned down the street, left his
horse by the hotel, and entered Padden's office. A night lamp burned
here, wick turnl';d low. He screwed
up the light and took it with him into
the adjoinmg room .
'J'he first thing h~ noticed was

Dear Mom.-Well I beard on the

the only big difference betw~en me
and you now is that you can talk

sir?"

"Sorry, sir, all the new hats have

Remember away back, mom,
when you was just worried that I
would not have enough comforts in

r easons, mom.

• • •

He noticed Charley's hat placed over Hack Breathitt's face.
And when he saw it he knew at
once the hell that had been in Charley Hillhouse's mind-his relentless
zeal and his memories of olden times
confusedly mixing and torturing
him. This last small act of grace,
the placing of the hat across Hack's
eyes, told the whole story ot Charley's suicide. The wild and bitter
winds governing Charley had blown
him at last out of life .
Living or dead, the essential things
of a man seemed to remain on his
face. It was so with Hack. The
disbelieving, cheerful insolence was
still present. Born restless and full
of scornful courage, he had carried
these qualities with him; wherever
he was now, Morgan thought, he'd
be showing hell or heaven the same
half-gay and half-ironic expression.
Maybe, Morgan added, it was the
best way out. For during these latter days he had seen a faint disillusionment in Hack, as though the
youthful freshness and the strong
appetites were wearing thin. Well,
it was a new trail for Hack now; he
could travel it with the same gusty
pleasure that once had been his.
Morgan replaced the hat and returned the lamp to the other room.
On the street he felt the brush of
air on his cheek, and stood a moment in thought. These men had
been close to him. Their passing
left an empty place, reminding him
that his wish to keep his youth alive
was a futile wish. Suddenly, this
part of the past was gone, leaving
him high and dry, and presently
other parts would go. It was a mistake to look behind, to try to hang
on to what was over and done with.
For him it was a strange thought
and a powerful one; it pulled at his
very roots and made him feel insecure.
He turned toward his horse. Jesse
Rusey came from the shadows near
the hotel. He said, "One Moment,
Clay . . . " But at the same time,
looking across the street, Morgan
found Ann McGarrah on the store's
porch. Her eyes were on him and,
silent as she was, he felt the pull of
her will or of her wish, and so he
walked toward her.
Rusey held his position oy the hotel, watching Morgan and Ann McGarrah go into the store and close
the door behind them. A light came
through the window, reflected from
the back room of the store; in a moment another door closed and this
light died. Rusey rubbed a hand
across his chin. Distant in him was
a faint envy at Clay Morgan's opportunities, and a worldly man's
curiosity. For Rusey's philosophy
was a gray pbilosophy, wrung out
of his cool, perpetual watchfuln ess.
All people had wants. Some wants
were little and some were big; some
came cheap and some came highbut to all people sooner or later
came a time when they placed their
pride and all that they believed in
against the one thing they most
wanted and made their decision .
Usually they sold out. For in thE.'
world Jesse Rusey so closely
watched, wants always came Srst.
He knew what Ann McGarrah wanted. He knew her pride and her
scorn of the ordinary follies and appetites. Now he stood, rubbing his
chin, faintly amused that all these
qualities had bought her nothing,
and knowing she realized it; know- ,
ing too she was close to her own
decision. He had his curiosity and
shrugged his shoulders and turned
up the street. But he stopped again,
still in the s hadows.
At that moment Herendeen entered town with the Ryder bro~hers.
Parr Gentry came from the stable
and for a little while there was talk
between these men . . L ater, Heren·
deen went up the hill ~o Doc Pad·
den's house. A few mmutes afterwards he returned to the group,
shaking his head. Parr Gentry point- ~
ed do·.vn the street and all of the~
turned ~o stare_ at Clay Morgan s

We bad a brush with Ben in Government Valley."

"What-,

"We drove him back. But noth·
ing's settled."
She said: "You know about HackT
0! course-you came from there."
He sank into the chair, his long
legs pushed forward. She stood near
him, looking down. Sh!1 put her
hands before her, locked together,
and for a moment she had the expression of a little girl on her face,
hall-wistful and hall-stormy. She
said: "You shouldn't-you shouldn't.
Suppose it had been you instead of
Hack? And when you meet Herendeen, which one will it be? You are
sure to meet. Everybody knows that.
It is as certain and as brutal as
death. Well, it is death. Clay, is
there anything I can say to stop
you?"
"No, not now, Ann."
"Not now, and not at any time,"
she added quietly. "I have never
been able to change you. Never.
In any way at all."
He said: "Why worry about it?"
You know me pretty well. I know
you pretty well. Let's be satisfied
with that."
She walked away from him. At a
corner of the room she turned, facing him over the distance. "What
do you know about me? What do
you really know?"
"I told you once, and you didn't
like it."
"When you said it, Clay, you never meant it. It was a joke-and J
hated you."
He shook his head, puzzled and
gently amused at her. "There is fire
enough in you to burn up the town.
You swing like the weather-never
still. You could be the kind of a
woman, I think, to throw furniture
at ~ man when you got mad. You
could crucify him-if you loved him.
And be sorry afterwards, I guess."
"Oh, Clay," she said, humbly,
"not a scold-not a spitfire."
"No," he admitted. "Just Ann
McGarrah who wants things per·
feet."
Her eyes grew darker and darker. "Clay," she said, near to a
whisper, "you don't mean to be cruel, but you are. If-" She shrugged
her shoulders, quickly hanged the
subject. "How's Janet?"
"All right. Catherine came up to
see her today." He watched stillness
come to her face, a listening intentness, a coolness holding nway
her dislike. Then he said. "They
seem to get along mighty well."
She said: "Don't you want coffe e ?"
"!:setter get ba ck and s ee how Lige
is making out," he said, coming to
his feet.
She walked towarcl. him. She stood
in front of him, quite near- this
small, supple girl so intense and so
crowded with willful pride. She
wa:;, dark, she was vivid; her lips
were red and firm across her oval
face and he caught the fragrance of
her hair and was affected by it.
Looking up, she drew a long, long
breath. He never was able to define the look he saw in her eyes that
night-it was like fear or shame, or
like a woman forcing herself over
some obstacle she dreaded. Her
voice was taut and very slow. "It
is hard to learn some things, Clay.
Hard to learn that sometimes nvthing comes by waiting, or by praying. And very hard to find out that
a woman has to change as she swore
she could never change. All that 1
am is right here in front of you, but
it never has been enough-just tCI
be in front of you. Is it something
cold about me, or something of an
old maid in me? I don' t know. But
only once did I ever see anything
in your eyes that I put there. That
was when I wore a dress which left
my shoulders bare. I was a woman
to you that nigbt."
She lifted her arms. They touched
his shoulde rs and lay there, with
the smallest pressure in them, pulling him. He saw he r lips lengthen
and part, he saw her eyes widen,
as though she opened herself to him
completely. Reaching forward he
kissed her, catching the force of her
sudden-giving body. But even then
there was a diffe rence, a strain, a
lack. When he stepped back thev
both kne w it. She caught her breath
sharply, turn ing a wa y . And said ia
a dullin g vo1ce: "No, not for me.
We ll, gocd-by."

I wish pop wood pick up a dog what

It looks tl) me like between

who was on the level over here
and who was not. Some Frenchman is double-crossing some other
Frenchman or vices versa every few

out the line-up. Every day somebody else is arrested for trying to
run the wrong way with the ball.

Well, I see there's a ruling you
can not send me no more packages
unless I ask for them and get the
brasshats to okay it which makes me
sore. It makes me feel silly making
out a list of thing3 I w0od like and
reading it to a officel· uKe I was asking Santa Claus for some presents.

The brasshat I wood have to ask
is a sourpuss. He wood not okay
nothing for me so I am going to tell

a turbulent past. There are lar;; ·
Jewish colonies, and
a
goo&lt;..
many Negroes.
In recent years,
large numbers o! Europeans, especially French, have settled in French
Morocco. New quarters of cities,
with striking modern buildings, have
sprung up. Huge sums were poured
into the construction of the new
"show city" of Casablanca. Contrasts between the unchanging ancient oriental customs and 20th century civilization are seen on every
hand.
Rabat, on the Atlantic coast north
of Casablanca, is the seat of th e
French administration; capital of
the Sultanate is Fez, in tt:e interior.
Marrakech, almost within t'1e shnd·
ow of the high Aeas, is a c:::orful
resort city.
More than a thousand miles
of railway link the chief towns of
the colony and connect with Algeria's
main lines. Of the · 4,500 miles of
roads, more than 2,500 are first class,
with paving over long llretches. In
normal times, there was daily air
service between Casablanca and Toulouse, in France; another route
reached to Dukar, jumping-off
place for South Atlantic trans -ocean- ,
IC flights.
France's authority in the colony is
administered by a resident general.
Nominally, French Morocco is an
absolute monarchy, headed by the
Sultan Sidi Mohammed.

Cook, Add Water. Eat
Pre-cooked and pre-mixed breakfast cereals are now available to
United States troops ov('!rseas, the
war department disclosed . A process, developed by the quartermaster
corps, permits the serving of these
dishes, chiefly wnole wheat and oat·
meal, merely by adding water. Th6
cereals are cooked u~til they contain no more than 12 per cent moisture. They are then packed in containers and sent to the far fiurrg

Bougit&gt;, thruc;t l"lto the \\'ar news
by United Nnl10r s lnnd.ng forces,
lies slightly more than a third of the
way between Alg e r: and the Tunisian border.
"Bougie" mE'anc; candle. or candle
power, in Fre ch, say a bulletin
from the Natlonr.l Geographic society. If light from Eoug1e were
beamed due north across the Mediterranean it would str1ke Marseille,
some 460 miles away.
If the American forces of occupation were on a peacetime mission
they would find that Bougie presents
opportunities for some interesting
sightseeing. Remains of ancient
forts, walls, and other structures
recall its importance from earliest
recorded time.
When Carthage was in power, the
site of what is now :&amp;ougie was a
thriving post for trade. The Romans later called it Saldae, and
erected there fortifications, baths,
and handsome public buildings. The
Vandals and the Berbers captured
it in turn. During the 11th century,
the Berbers made it a metropolis
of a hundred thousand inhabitants,
with mosques, colleges, and an active business in tile and pottery
manufacture. Later came the Turks
and other conquerors. By the time
the French moved into the city, in
the 1830s, centuries of international
wars and piracy had so devastated
it that little remained except ruins.

Casablanca Principal Port
For French West Africa
Casablanca, Morocco's Atlantic
port where United States bombers
are reported to have dropped hundreds of bombs on extensive harbor
installations, is Morocco's principal
port and western terminus of the
railroad
running
east through
French North Africa, says the National Geographic society. Just before the war tonnage had increased
some 15 times in a quarter century.
Since France took possession 35
years ago it has poured $65,000,000
into harbor developments. The harbor and railroad connections were
the leading factors in promoting a
Moorish fishing village into a modern city of 175,000 population, nearly
half European.
In addition to a battery of cranes
there is a floating dock, pipe line
for oil fuel, and railway sidings over
which pass more than half of Morocco's export trade, and 70 per
cent of the imports.
Two long moles enclose the 350acre harbor, dominated by huge
warehouses and grain elevators.
Special quays handle coal and phosphates.
Algiers: A Curious Mixture
The French found Algiers an accessible spot which combined the
pleasures of an exotic foreign holiday with many comforts of home.
For Algiers is a curious mixture of
modern French city life and Arab
customs which have changed little
in a thousand years.
The off-duty American soldier for
instance, may look for souvenirs in
a smart French shop, or choose to
visit the native market place.
In the European section, the Yank
will find- against a North African
background of mosque and palm
tree-urban theaters, open air cafes,
hotels and commercial offices, along
with broad paved avenues where
normally automobiles and trolleybuses run. But it is another world
in the native quarter which climbs
fhe hills back of the water front
area. There, narrow streets twist
and turn, streets that are darkened
by houses whose overhanging upper
stories may literally form a roof
over the heads of the passers-by.

Tobacco Taxes Increase
Tobacco taxes collected by the
states increased 761 per cent during
the last decade-from approximately $17,000,000 to more than $130,000,000, an analysis by the Federation of
Tax Administrators showed recently. Greater part of the jump was
caused by the increase in the number of states making the tobacco
levy during the 10-year period. In

worries are over. If he smokes a

is a pound of tobacco. Numerous

toward each other they reflected all
the jealousies and suspicions which
had prevented unity of the English

French and Indians.
"Washington had to face not

furious mutinies among the private soldiers, but also the most
exquisitely embarrassing feuds
among his officers with threats
of wholesale resignations," writes
his biographer, Rupert Hughes.

of a "house divided against itself"
but even in his own "family" there
was dissension and disunity.
When the war began many Democrats, among them Stephen A. Dou~­
las, steadfastly SU}!lported the President but others violently opposed
a war which they declared had resulted from the election of a Republican President. It was this group
who brought into existence the
Knights of the Golden Circle, the
secret organization of ·the Copperheads, who criticized the conduct of
the war, hoped to gain control of
the government and make some sort
of compromise peace with the South.
Even within his own party Lincoln
had enemies who tried to thwart his
efforts to !lave the Union. One faction induced congress to create a
Committee on the Conduct of the
War which was almost as damaging
to the war effort as the activities of
the Copperheads.
Stormy as was the political situation when the second year of the
war began, the military situation
was more encouraging. In the West
Fort Henry had fallen, "Unconditional Surrender" Grant had taken Fort
Donelson, and Farragut had captured New Orleans. But in the East,
then regarded as the most important theater of war, a military genius
named Robert E. Lee was threatening Washington and another military
genius named "Stonewall" Jackson
was outmaneuvering and outfighting
every Union commander sent against
him in the Shenandoah valley.
McClellan Fails.
In March, General McClellan, the
Union commander, had begun his
Peninsular campaign "which for
numbers engaged and losses suffered sutpassed any previous operation in North America." By June it
was apparent U1at the campaign
had failed and that the volunteer
system could not produce the number of men needed for replacements aftar the blood bath McClellan had given the' Union army. In a
confidential message to the state
governors Lincoln appealed for 100,000 new troops, saying "I would publicly appeal to the country for this
new force were it not that I fear a
general panic and stampede would
follow, so hard it is to have a thing
understood as it is."
This appeal brought him the
troops he needed but, having lost
confidence in McClellan, he placed
General Pope in command. / The result was the terrible defeat at the
second Battle of Manassas and McClellan was again in the saddle.
Thereupon Lee invaded Maryland
and was stopped at the Battle of
Antiet am, after which he recrossed
the Potomac. McClellan might have
crushed Lee but failed to do so.
Lincoln again removed "Little Mac"
and gave command to General Burnside, whose attack on Fredericksburg resulted in the loss of 10,000
Union dead and wounded.
So the year ended in fa ilure and
a deep gloom settled over the North.
Even greater was the depression in
the White House, for the e lection of
Horatio Seymour, the Democrat, in
New York, was r egarded as a repudiation of Lincoln's conduct of the
war. He could not foresee that the
nex t year would bring the turning
point of the war with the victories
at Vicksburg and Gettysburg- both
achieved on the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Four months later the Great
Emancipator journeyed to one of
those battlefields and there delivered an immortal address.
"If Abraham Lincoln were alive
today," the message that he might
give to an America engaged in a
struggle with the most deadly enemy
of freedom the world has ever
known would be a quotation from
the Gettysburg Address. It is the
reassurance :
"That this nation under God shall
have a new birth of freedom, and
that government of the people, by
the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth ! "

Serve Shrimp Casserole, Save Meat
&lt;See Recipes Below)

Warm Welcome!
These are days when families are
divided and diminished, and there
comes the urge to
say to the neighbor, come take
"pot-luck" supper
with us. Thus,
your: neighbor will
bring over some
salad and muffins
and herself and
the youngster, you can make a main
dish and dessert, and have company
with it besides!
It's heart-warming to visit, too,
and have someone to help with the
meal if your once-big family is
somewhat reduced. Most people welcome a visit now and then with just
one of the ordinary meals-and potluck is the perfect answer.
Your first must-not with pot-luck
is do not fuss. Just get together on
who is to bring what-and have what
you ordinarily would have. Your
plans need not be made with campaign-like precision, simply do it on
the spur of the moment, since this
makes for spontaneity.
Let's take it easy on meat with
some grand casserole dishes-including this on shrimp and crabmeat
with a crisp, corn-flake crust:
*Baked Shrimp Salad.
&lt;Serves 6 to 8)
~~ cup chopped green pepper
% cup minced onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup cooked crabmeat, flaked
1 cup cooked shrimp, cleaned
1 cup mayonnaise
% teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 cups corn flakes
*cup butter
Combine all ingredients and mix
well together. Place in individual
shell dishes or one large casserole.
Cover with crushed corn flakes, dot
with butter, and sprinkle paprika
over top. Bake in a moderate oven
(350 degrees) about 30 minutes.
Serve with lemon.
Spaghetti's a fine dish to serve at
pot luck. Should hamburger supplies be low, try some of Sunday's
leftover chicken in the sauce:

No Waste, No Want: Rationing

pas:;ing on these thoughts of
what-to-do:
Use cooked meat or fish seasoned and moistened with cream
in between the omelet. Vegetables, put through a sieve moistened with cream, butter or gravy are good, too.

NE of the little things that wo:ries a careful housekeeper JS
the soiling of wallpaper around
switch-plates. Fumbling fingers in
the dark may leave marks that cannot easily be erased. This situation can be made easier through the
use of a sheet of thin transparent
celluloid, or of heavy cellophane.
The switch-plate is taken off, which
can be easily done by releasing the
screws that show in the face. Usually there are two, but for plates
that combine two switches, or a
switch and an outlet there may be
four. The switch-plate is laid on the
sheet of transparent material, and a
piece cut out an inch or two larger,
all around. The inside is also cut
out to a size smaller than the switchplate, so that when the plate is returned to position, the inner edge
will be nipped, and the entire sheet
pressed against the wall.
Being
transparent, the wallpaper pattern
will show through, and the addition
will hardly be noticed.
Even
greasy and perspiring fingers will
leave no traces, or if they do, they
can easily be wiped out with a damp
cloth.
Peeling Paint on Bathroom Walls
Question: The QP.int on our bathroom walls is peeling badly; we
should like to repaint but are afraid
that the same thing might happen
again. The worst spot is around
the sink, where water splashes on
the walls.
Answer:
Ordinary fiat
paint
should not be used in bathroom or
kitchen. For the best modern effeet, finish your bathroom walls at
least halfway up with wall linoleum
or with tile. For the rest of 'the
wall you can use wall cloth, which
is waterproof and comes in handsome designs. Another choice would
be glossy enamel. If you cannot
use linoleum or tile, wall cloth or
enamel can be used for all the wall,
except around the showe r. There
the plaster of the walls should h ave
a waterproof covering; wall cloth
will serve in this instance.
Wallpaper Patch
Wallpaper of the same pattern
can be used to cover a marred
place on a papered wall. The paper
should not be cut, for the edges
would show up in a strong light.
The paper should be torn from the
back, which will give the front surface a feathery edge that will not

Weather is war's most uncertain factor. Not even the great
captains from Belisarius on to
Stonewall Jackson (an&lt;l Timoshenko) could win if it blew too
hard against them. And it is the
belief of Reichelderfer that tacticians take it too little into account. Chief, now, of the United
States weather bureau, he would
have a weather forecaster with
every naval and military unit on
its own. Tbere aren't enough
military forecasters for this,
yet, but Reichelderfer is buttonholing all the generals and admirals.
Forty-seven years oJd, the bureau
chief is sharp-nosed, lean, baldish
and square-chinned. By the time
he had a science degree from Northwestern university he was sure
weather was his dish, and he did
extra studying in Norway. The navy
got him in 1918 and for 20 years he
was about its most weatherwise officer . . . aviator, aerologist and
finally commander. He spent a lot
of time at the naval air station
in Lakehurst, N. J., until he quit
the service for the bureau.
He is married and has a son.
After years of wisecracks from disappointed picnickers he understands
the risks of prophecy. "I doubt,"
he said a while back, "if many
know how brave the weather forecaster is who steps up to a survey
map and makes a forecast for tomorrow." When the fate of a battle
hangs on the forecast you can bet
your bottom dollar he is brave.

convince him that 01.i're the de·
pendable, mode,t type, that you are
not a "gold-digger," and don't use
excessive make-up.
In a test just completed, men students from five universities !ish d
gold-digging and excessive make-up
as among the qualities they mo::;t
intensely dislike.
"Men date the pmpular girl but
marry the dependable one" was
marked "true" by a vast majority
of the 25'3 men. The 264 co-eds,
however, were not so sure.
Men students believed that no one
should marry before he was 25;
women students disagreed. Co-eds
believed that unintelligent people
should not marry; men disagreed.
The g\rls believed that goad-lool:in~
individuals have less sense than
ordinary-looking persons; the men
were not so sure.
Buth men and women students,
however, agreed that girls who use
powder and rouge profusely are Jess
modest than the average girl, that
people of widely different races and
faiths should not marry, and that
girls who date very little are very
modest.

Pay as You Go
Before this year is half gone, unless all signs fail, the United States
Government will be collecting taxes
on 1943 incomes as they are earned.
The President, the Treasury and
leaders in both the House and the
Senate favor son•e kind of pay-asyou-go plan for income tax collection. Specific provisions have not
been worked out. The law is still in 1
the making. But features of suggested plans are much alike and
are being discussed freely.
The main idea in taking taxPs out
of current income is to collect revenue while the people have the money which is sound. In the case of
an' employee, tax payments likely
will be deducted directly from salary checks and pay envelopes, and
the worker will never handle the
money at all. Such a method might
(but not likely) get started before
March 15, when payments on 1942
income toxes will be due.
What About 1912 Taxes?
Fully three times as many people J
will be paying income tax this year,
as ever before. New taxpayers, as
well as the old ones, already are
wondering about 1942 taxes. They
ask three main questions. (1) Will I
be expected to pay last year's taxes
at the same time I am paying this
year's taxes? (2) Will we skip 1942
and, if so, will the government lose
a year's revenue? (3) Will the 1942
taxes be suspended now and dropped
on our necks right after the war
when, most likely, we will be having
a spell of hard times?
Matter-of-fact statements of some
plain facts will answer two of those
questions: The average American
who earned anything last year is not
able this year to pay taxes at current rates on two years of income.
Especially is this true of a typical
farmer. His last year's earnin~s
are gone, because he had operated
at a loss for several previous years,
and obligations that were hanging
over took his 1942 profits. T\YO
years' taxes in one year will not
leave him a living.
Postponement Is Worse
Suspending the 1942 taxes temporarily, and perhnp:; spreading them
out over several future years, is a
sorry suggestion. If the taxpayer,
especially the farmer, is not able to
pay two years' taxes in 1943 when he
is earning something, certainly he
can't lift such a burden in a postwar depression. Farmers were bit
harder than any other group of citizens after the last war and they
have every reason to expect the
same thing to happen after World
War II.
Question No. 2, above, is doublebarrelled. The answer to the first
half of it is "Yes." If the vast majority of people can't pay 1942's income taxes this year, nor in several
post-war years, we should skip 1942
for them. It is the only sensible thing
to do because it can be proved absolutely that skipping 1942 will not cost
the government one penny in revenue. Let me start the proof with a
homespun illustration:
1942 Is Only a Date
My first experience with income
taxes came in 1931. The rules exempted me that year but I had a
friend who paid a small amount.
Old form 1040-A called it a tax on his
1930 income but that was really a
misnomer. My friend, like nearly
everybody else, had spent all he
earned in 1930 and whatever tax he
paid in 1931 came right out of his
1931 earnings. He knew it was his
1931 income that was "taxed" and
that 1930 was nothing but a place to
start figuring.
That plan is no longer suitable.
Tax rolls are larger. now, people
earn more, rates are higher and exemptions are lower. Incomes are
higher even than they were a year
ago, and for that reason a pay-asyou-go plan will yield the Treasury
more revenue in 1943 than could be
raised by the old system. Under a
pay-as-you-go plan, taxes will be
paid this year just as in previous
years. We will not skip a year of
paying. We will only discard 1942
as a basis of figuring.
Every year since 1914 when Americans started paying income taxes
we have pretended to pay on earnings of the year before. Thus every taxpayer has stayed technically
in debt to the government for a year
or more of taxes. Millions of people never did pay the debt, of
course. Every year a certain number have died or suffered from illness or drouth or fires. These have
quit earning incomes and failed to
pay tax on the previous year.
Now, to Catch Up
A good pay-as-you-go plan will
save the government these paper
losses and lift a technical debt from
the taxpayers. This is important
because after the war all taxpayers
and especially farmers have a depression to face. Depressions are
calamities, like fires and sickness
and drouth. They mean years when
(under the present plan) we would
be asked to pay taxes on a by-gone
year of good income and have little
or nothing to pay with.
Some types of workers might escape back taxes if they had no money but a farmer can't escape. He
has land that can be levied upon.
It was wisdom that led the National
Grange and the American Farm Bureau Federation both to go on record recently in favor of pay-as-youflO income taxes.

Successful Game Bird Season
Iowa proclaims that 1942 brought
the finest upland game bird season
in the state's history, and calls its
first 21-day pheasant season "a success from almost every standpoint,"
reporting plenty of birds through
the entire season. Easy limits appear to have been the rule at the
start, but birds are said to have
become wiser and warier as the season wore on, sitting tight in heavy
cover or flushing far out of gun
range. However, experienced, hard
working hunters managed to get
their limits in many localities
throughout the season. Sufficient
pheasants are reported left to produce a good crop next year under
favorable conditions.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
]ap Casualties Heavy

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

From "New Guinea came Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's consoling announcement that American casualties in the victorious Papuan cam·
paign were less than half the Japanese losses. Previous statements had
said that a Japanese Papuan army
of 15,000 had been wiped out. This
indicated American casualties might
have totaled 7 ,000, including those incapacitated by sickness.
As General MacArthur consolidated his forces for the drive to clear
the enemy out of the ~est of New
Guinea, military activity was limited to continuous bombing of enemy
bases. The raids included a heavy
concentration on Lae, which is expected to be the next target of MacArthur's offensive operatiO!lS.
The navy department disclosed
that a new Jap air base established
within easy raiding distance of
Guadalcanal in the Solomons had
been strongly attacked by American
bombers. The new Jap airfield is on
Ballale island, ~bout 300 miles north·
west of Henderson airfield on Guadalcanal.
The navy likewise announ(:ed that
in air action over Wake island, a
number of Jap Zero planer. had been
shot down, while all United States
aircraft had returned safely to their
fields.

CORN GROWERS:
Reap Big Bene/its
Corn belt farmers and western
wheat growers will get the lion's
share of the $595,500,000 in benefit
payments to be distributed among
growers for complying with last
year's federal crop control pro·
grams, it was indicated in a prelim·
inary report of the department of
agriculture on 1942 farm subsidies.
Southern cotton farmers will get
the smallest amount since 1936,
largely because of the improved
price position of this crop.
The department's figures disclosed
that payments to wheat farmers will
total $133,477,000, compared with
$107,353 for the 1941 crop. Corn
payment~&gt; will amount to $188,219.000, which is the record for that
crop. Payments on the 1941 crop
totaled $130,186,000.
Cotton payments for 1942 will
amount to about $78,833,000, compared with $184,957,000 in 1941 and a
peak of $265,595,000 for the 1938 crop.
Until the 1942 crop year, cotton payments exceeded those for any other
commodity.

TUNISIA:
Activity Stepped Up

HITLER:
Produce or Die

Indications that the long awaited
offensive to drive the Axis out of
North Africa might be near, were
seen in reports of the recapture of
several central Tunisian positions
with which the enemy had sought to
form a line of protection for the
flanks of Marshal Rommel's army
retreating into Tunisia from Libya.
Conferences 6f top American and
British military chiefs in Casablanca
even after the departure of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill had emphasized the importance of the next Allied moves.
Lieut. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's
American forces had driven the Germans back from six to nine miles
in the Ousseltia Valley and had
pressed steadily toward a pass
through which Rommel's troops
must pass in their effort to join German Gen. Von Arnim's army.
Rommel's widely strung out rear
guard had been constantly under attack by General Montgomery's B itish Eighth army.
One of the h~artening features of
the American activity was that this
drive had recaptured several positions of tactical importance previously lost by the French when German armored units had smashed
through their lines.

Significant of even sterner measures ahead on the Nazi home front
was Adolf Hitler's decree imposing
compulsory labor service on all German men from 16 to 65 and all
women from 17 to 45 and hinting
the death penalty awaited slackers.
Observers who had been puzzled
for weeks over Nazi radio propaganda stressing the seriousness of
the military situation in Russia now
readily saw that this device had
been employed to prepare the German people for new sacrifices of a
most bitter and stringent nature.
Clearly Hitler was trying desperately to solve his manpower problem. Allied military experts estimated Germany must recruit at least
1,000,000 new men to fill the gaps in
her army.

AIR BLOWS:
By 'All-American' Team
0minously prophetic of more and
deadlier blows at the heart of G~r­
man industries and naval bases
were the first "All-American" daylight bombing attacks in which
swarms of unescorted Flying Fortresses and Liberators smashed at
the naval base of Wilhelmshaven
and industrial installations at Emden.
While three of the unescorted
American bombers were lost on the
Wilhelmshaven-Emden raids, United
States headquarters said that a
"number" of enemy planes were de•troyed.
Hitler's northern flank was given
a pounding when the shipyards in
Copenhagen, Denmark, hitherto unscathed, were bombed by the RAF.
The principal targets of this raid
were U-boat engine factories which
are working for Germany.

RUSSIA:
Cause for Rejoicing
With President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill's joint note
in his hands promising decisive
blows in the West, "Uncle Joe"
Stalin could look with considerable
satisfaction on affairs in the East.
How well the Russian offensives
were going was indicated by a
steady parade of Soviet communiques reporting successes all along
the line. The Red army had driven
forward to within 60 miles of Rostov,
with the recapture of the railroad
towns of Ataman and Yegorlyk. To
the north, the Ukrainian offensive
westward from captured Voronezh
had pressed on to within 80 miles of
the big Nazi base of Kursk, with the
reoccupation of Gorsehechnoye.
The Russian· Stalingrad trap had
closed its jaws on all but a few
scattered remnants of the 200 Axis
divisions of 200,000 men who had
besieged that industrial stronghold.

HIGHLIGHTS.
CANBERRA: Prime Minister John
Curtin told parliament that from the
outbreak of the war to the beginning
of 1943, total Australian battle casualties in all .combat theaters were
52,148. The number comprised 6,826
killed, 23,892 missing, 9,059 known
prisoners and 12,371 wounded. Australian casualties date back to early
1941 operat10ns in North Africa un-der General Wavell.

YANKEE FOOD:
Aids Russ Offensive
That American lend-lease food
shipments have helped the Russian
armies deal their deadly blows to
Hitler's Nazi legions was revealed
by Claude R. Wickard, secretary of
agriculture.
Food shipments to Russia which
rose sharply as the winter offensive
progressed went directly to the Red

DRAFT CALL:
Faces Fathers in '43
Evidence mounted that the drafting of married men with children
would be under way before the end
of 1943, following the U. S. high
command's announcement that the
nation's armed forces would total
10,420,000 this year.
Observers recalled a statement
some time ago by Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, selective service chief,
indicating that the supply of childless married men would last only
about 10 months. The statement inferred that drafting of men with
children would beg1n around next
October if 10,000,000 or more were
to be called without drafting 18 and
19 year olds.
Since General Hershey spoke, the
minimum draft age has been lowered to include those age brackets,
but the gain thus made in the number of draft eligibles has been offset by deferment of all men 38
years or older, apparently reinstating his forecast.

NAZI PEACE:
Offensive Is Nipped
As political observers viewed in
perspective President Roosevelt's
historic North Africa conference
with Prime Minister Churchill, the
conviction grew that one of the most
significant but unheralded results of
that meeting was the forestalling of
a prospective new German peace offensive.
For several months it had been
evident in world chancellories that
Hitler would offer a compromise
peace as part of his 1943 plans. Reports had indicated that his proposals would be made through nonbelligerent Spain and would include
an offer to withdraw from Western
Europe while still retaining territories occupied in Poland, Russia and
the Balkans.
In the light of these disclosures
the Casablanca declaration that the
Allied nations would be satisfied with
nothing short of the unconditional
surrender of Germany, Italy and
Japan, definitely destroyed this spurious peace offensive.
President Roosevelt's visit with
President Vargas of Brazil at Natal,
en route home, was significant of the
solidity of South America's adhesion
to the Allies. Observers believed
Axis peace moves would make no
dent in Latin America, even if made
through still-neutral Argentine.

clared in a report to the war council
of the National-American Wholesale
Grocers association in Chicago,
"shipments to Russia were larger
than the combined shipments to the
United Kingdom and other British
destinations."
Discussing the 1943 outlook, Mr.
Wickard said that "our armed forces
and those of our Allies will require
almost a quarter of all the food we
produce."

RUBBER PROGRAM:
Green Light on 55%
While a house of represe11tatives
naval committee ordered an investigation of charges made by Rubber
Administrator William M. Jeffe1·s
that "army and navy loafers" were
interfering with war production,
WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson
disclosed that he had directed that
55 per cent of the synthetic rubber
program for which Mr. Jeffers has
been battling vigorously be carried
through "as rapidly as possible."
In testimony before the senate
rubber investigating committee, Mr .

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D. C.
"It will be a long and bitter war."
That was the remark of the Australian minister of defense in a recent interview. Two days later,
I heard a general, who had visited
many fronts, make a similar statement. You have heard the same
prediction made from dozens of officials. And the strange thing is, it
is usually preceded with an account
of Allied successes. Nothing but a
"but" stands between the enumeration of victories achieved and the
prediction of the long, hard road
ahead.
Since this perplexed me, I tried
to get a concrete answer from various persons as to just what lies on
the long, hard road. Out of the answers, two obstacles stand out, the
submarine and the story of the "vanishing Luftwaffe." Only recently has
it been definitely revealed that the
enemy's greatest and most effective
weapon is the submarine. For a
long time, the British permitted only
the most general statements regarding the sinking of Allied or even
neutral ships by U-boats. Lately,
because it was realized that the people were in ignorance of the extent
of this menace, more detailed statements have been made, although
still no figures are given out.
We know that America is building
ships faster than American ships
are being sunk. We know that the
margin between launchings and
sinkings is very narrow. And we
know that launchings alone do not
really balance sinkings hull for hull
1 because
the enemy sinks loaded
ships-valuable cargoes are destroyed-trained men not easily or
immediately replaceable are killed
Ol' at least taken out of action for
long perio~gaps are left in the
war effort with each lost cargo.
When I was in Berlin covering the
outbreak of the European war in
1939, I heard a great deal of talk
about Germany's counter-blockade,
how the Nazis could fill seas with
their U-boats. There was much talk
uf the great numbers which could
be produced by the American method of the assembly line. I had no
idea how much truth there was in
those statements. Then in the
months that followed, not much was
said about the U-boats. For a period when they were operating on
our coasts, Am erica was conscious
of their presence but when they
~ere driven out of sight of our
s110res, thty were driven OPt of mind
as well.

think that this, at least to a large
degree, is true. But that explanation does not seem reasonable.

German Advancea
In Synthetic Ga11
We know that Germany has made
remarkable advances in the manufacture of synthetic gasoline and
oils. We know that some oil has
been retrieved from the Maikop oil
fields in Russia, new ones developed
in Austria.
If Germany is not yet starved of
gasoline and lubricants, if the Luftwaffe has not really disappeared
from the earth, its absence from the
air may have an0ther meaning. We
know that in spite of the heavy German losses in men and material in
Russia, Germany still has a large
and powerful army. Possibly over
300 fully equipped divisions-trained
men.
It is estimated that aside from
soldiers engaged in Russia and
North Africa, the garrisons in the
occupied countries, there must be a
striking mobile army of a million
men and more. Of course, these
are estimates but they are not overestimates. And besides this army
there is the "vanished Luftwaffe."
The assumption is that this great
army like the airforce is resting,
conserving and building up its
strength for one of two things: ei·
ther a long, last stand defense of
the borders of the Reich or one
more powerful offensive.
Meanwhile, we know that every
day that Japan is allowed to occupy
the rich possessions of her stolen
empire, she is nearer to the ex·
ploitation of their resources, the de·
velopment of which will make her
stronger. And every day she is left
undisturbed by a major attack, she
is able to increase her fortifications,
wear down the Chinese and spread
her "silver bullets" amon g the less
loyal war-lord followers on the
fringe of Chiang Kai-shek's central
army.
There are two factors which malce
the road ahead a hard one-the present successful operation and the
rapid replacement of the German
submarine flotilla and the probability that Germany IS holding back a
powerful army and air force either
for another telling blow or to de·
fenri its strongly fortified terrain.

Cow's Grave on Map
The only animal whose grave
has ever been designated on the
map of its country is Buzoe, a pet
cow that died of old age in the
Gibson desert of Australia in 1876
while she was with a party mapping the t erritory, says Collier's.
"Buzoe's Grave" was indicated on
the original chart and, consr.quently, the place was included on many
maps of Australia published in the
past 60 years.

In the following silence Clay at
once sensed that Janet was struggling with her loyalty to Ann McGarrah. She said: "I don't know,
Daddy. Do you like her a lot? As
much as you like Ann?"
He said: "Maybe I do, Janey.
I'm going to town now. Better
sleep."
She turned in the bed, her small
body curled beneath the blankets
and her head sinking into the pillow.
She murmured: "It is like having
a mother. It really is."
He went out of her room. There
was a difference in women nobody
could explain, an understanding, or
a touch, or some mysterious fragrance of personality some had and
some did not have.
Fox Willing was in the room with
Lige White; the rest of the crew had
left the house. Catherine waited for
him downstairs.
"Janey wants you to stay on tonight."
·
She moved around the table. She
put this distance between them deliberately, no longer smiling. "I
can't do that, Clay. Not now."
He said: "I keep forgetting it
wouldn't look right to you. Well, I
don't know what you've done to Janet, but you did it."
She said with some concern: "You
don't mind, Clay? I wanted her to
like me-and that's why I came!"
He said, still in wonder: "How
did you do it?"
Her eyes showed him a warm,
deep shining. "She's still a girl,
Clay, wanting to believe little-girl
things and live in the land of makebelieve. She knows those things
aren't so, but she wants the comfort of them a little while longer.
And I talked to her as though those
things were good things."
"Wait until I get back from town
and I'll ride home with you."
"I'm not afraid of the ride, Clay."
But she closed her lips, color rising
on her cheeks.
"Hate to have you go alone."
"Then I'll wait.''
Harry Jump joined him in the
yard, but Morgan shook his head.
"I won't be long, and you've got to
watch this place."
Jump had saddled a fresh horse
for him; and now he lined out for
town along a road smothered by a
deep, moon-shot fog whose thickness
touched him and seemed to break
as he went through it. The lights
of WP..r Pass didn't show until he
had turned into the main street. He
went at once to Doc Padden's house,
hailing him out. "Lige White's in a
bad way, at my place. I'll go back
with you."
Padden said, in rough regret, "Everything happens. Wait a minute."
He went into the house for his hat
and bag and walked down Custer
Street with Morgan. "You heard the
latest? Hillhouse killed Breathitt. He
brought Breathitt into town and went
out again."
They were near the stable when
Morgan stopped. "In town?" he said.
"Go ahead, Padden, I'll catch up
with you."
Padden said: "Hillhouse bought a
quart of whisky and started back to
Three Pines. I guess it was on his
soul, as God knows it should have
~en.
Billy Wells came in a few
minutes ago. He saw a team and
wagon standing at the edge of Cache
River near the Cottonwood forct, so
he went over to look. Hillhouse sat
against one of the trees. Guess he
finished the bottle first. The re was
one bullet hole through the tree and
another through his head. He killed
himself."
Padden was a rough-handed man,
made so by the kind of gunshot medicine he practiced; but he had his
rnotr.ents of insight and now walked
to the stable without looking around.
Morgan stood in the street' s dust until he saw Padden ride away, theo
be turned down the street, left his
horse by the hotel, and entered Padden's office. A night lamp burned
here, wick turnl';d low. He screwed
up the light and took it with him into
the adjoinmg room .
'J'he first thing h~ noticed was

• • •

He noticed Charley's hat placed over Hack Breathitt's face.
And when he saw it he knew at
once the hell that had been in Charley Hillhouse's mind-his relentless
zeal and his memories of olden times
confusedly mixing and torturing
him. This last small act of grace,
the placing of the hat across Hack's
eyes, told the whole story ot Charley's suicide. The wild and bitter
winds governing Charley had blown
him at last out of life .
Living or dead, the essential things
of a man seemed to remain on his
face. It was so with Hack. The
disbelieving, cheerful insolence was
still present. Born restless and full
of scornful courage, he had carried
these qualities with him; wherever
he was now, Morgan thought, he'd
be showing hell or heaven the same
half-gay and half-ironic expression.
Maybe, Morgan added, it was the
best way out. For during these latter days he had seen a faint disillusionment in Hack, as though the
youthful freshness and the strong
appetites were wearing thin. Well,
it was a new trail for Hack now; he
could travel it with the same gusty
pleasure that once had been his.
Morgan replaced the hat and returned the lamp to the other room.
On the street he felt the brush of
air on his cheek, and stood a moment in thought. These men had
been close to him. Their passing
left an empty place, reminding him
that his wish to keep his youth alive
was a futile wish. Suddenly, this
part of the past was gone, leaving
him high and dry, and presently
other parts would go. It was a mistake to look behind, to try to hang
on to what was over and done with.
For him it was a strange thought
and a powerful one; it pulled at his
very roots and made him feel insecure.
He turned toward his horse. Jesse
Rusey came from the shadows near
the hotel. He said, "One Moment,
Clay . . . " But at the same time,
looking across the street, Morgan
found Ann McGarrah on the store's
porch. Her eyes were on him and,
silent as she was, he felt the pull of
her will or of her wish, and so he
walked toward her.
Rusey held his position oy the hotel, watching Morgan and Ann McGarrah go into the store and close
the door behind them. A light came
through the window, reflected from
the back room of the store; in a moment another door closed and this
light died. Rusey rubbed a hand
across his chin. Distant in him was
a faint envy at Clay Morgan's opportunities, and a worldly man's
curiosity. For Rusey's philosophy
was a gray pbilosophy, wrung out
of his cool, perpetual watchfuln ess.
All people had wants. Some wants
were little and some were big; some
came cheap and some came highbut to all people sooner or later
came a time when they placed their
pride and all that they believed in
against the one thing they most
wanted and made their decision .
Usually they sold out. For in thE.'
world Jesse Rusey so closely
watched, wants always came Srst.
He knew what Ann McGarrah wanted. He knew her pride and her
scorn of the ordinary follies and appetites. Now he stood, rubbing his
chin, faintly amused that all these
qualities had bought her nothing,
and knowing she realized it; know- ,
ing too she was close to her own
decision. He had his curiosity and
shrugged his shoulders and turned
up the street. But he stopped again,
still in the s hadows.
At that moment Herendeen entered town with the Ryder bro~hers.
Parr Gentry came from the stable
and for a little while there was talk
between these men . . L ater, Heren·
deen went up the hill ~o Doc Pad·
den's house. A few mmutes afterwards he returned to the group,
shaking his head. Parr Gentry point- ~

We bad a brush with Ben in Government Valley."

"What-,

"We drove him back. But noth·
ing's settled."
She said: "You know about HackT
0! course-you came from there."
He sank into the chair, his long
legs pushed forward. She stood near
him, looking down. Sh!1 put her
hands before her, locked together,
and for a moment she had the expression of a little girl on her face,
hall-wistful and hall-stormy. She
said: "You shouldn't-you shouldn't.
Suppose it had been you instead of
Hack? And when you meet Herendeen, which one will it be? You are
sure to meet. Everybody knows that.
It is as certain and as brutal as
death. Well, it is death. Clay, is
there anything I can say to stop
you?"
"No, not now, Ann."
"Not now, and not at any time,"
she added quietly. "I have never
been able to change you. Never.
In any way at all."
He said: "Why worry about it?"
You know me pretty well. I know
you pretty well. Let's be satisfied
with that."
She walked away from him. At a
corner of the room she turned, facing him over the distance. "What
do you know about me? What do
you really know?"
"I told you once, and you didn't
like it."
"When you said it, Clay, you never meant it. It was a joke-and J
hated you."
He shook his head, puzzled and
gently amused at her. "There is fire
enough in you to burn up the town.
You swing like the weather-never
still. You could be the kind of a
woman, I think, to throw furniture
at ~ man when you got mad. You
could crucify him-if you loved him.
And be sorry afterwards, I guess."
"Oh, Clay," she said, humbly,
"not a scold-not a spitfire."
"No," he admitted. "Just Ann
McGarrah who wants things per·
feet."
Her eyes grew darker and darker. "Clay," she said, near to a
whisper, "you don't mean to be cruel, but you are. If-" She shrugged
her shoulders, quickly hanged the
subject. "How's Janet?"
"All right. Catherine came up to
see her today." He watched stillness
come to her face, a listening intentness, a coolness holding nway
her dislike. Then he said. "They
seem to get along mighty well."
She said: "Don't you want coffe e ?"
"!:setter get ba ck and s ee how Lige
is making out," he said, coming to
his feet.
She walked towarcl. him. She stood
in front of him, quite near- this
small, supple girl so intense and so
crowded with willful pride. She
wa:;, dark, she was vivid; her lips
were red and firm across her oval
face and he caught the fragrance of
her hair and was affected by it.
Looking up, she drew a long, long
breath. He never was able to define the look he saw in her eyes that
night-it was like fear or shame, or
like a woman forcing herself over
some obstacle she dreaded. Her
voice was taut and very slow. "It
is hard to learn some things, Clay.
Hard to learn that sometimes nvthing comes by waiting, or by praying. And very hard to find out that
a woman has to change as she swore
she could never change. All that 1
am is right here in front of you, but
it never has been enough-just tCI
be in front of you. Is it something
cold about me, or something of an
old maid in me? I don' t know. But
only once did I ever see anything
in your eyes that I put there. That
was when I wore a dress which left
my shoulders bare. I was a woman
to you that nigbt."
She lifted her arms. They touched
his shoulde rs and lay there, with
the smallest pressure in them, pulling him. He saw he r lips lengthen
and part, he saw her eyes widen,
as though she opened herself to him
completely. Reaching forward he
kissed her, catching the force of her
sudden-giving body. But even then
there was a diffe rence, a strain, a
lack. When he stepped back thev
both kne w it. She caught her breath
sharply, turn ing a wa y . And said ia
a dullin g vo1ce: "No, not for me.
We ll, gocd-by."

I gess them rules about jallopies
is making it hard for you, although
I know you ain't the kind to squawk.
I hear you can't use the flivver for
nothing now except in case of sickness, but I bet the rules make pop
sick enough to have a good alibi i!
he decides to t~ke a ride. I seen
one rule which says it is okay to
drive a sick dog to a dog hospital
and on account of I know what a
little fresh air means to you, mom,
I wish pop wood pick up a dog what
did not look two healthy and take
you out for a little ride once a week.

It looks tl) me like between
reading automobile rules, checking tire numbers, doping out new
rashuning systems, trying to
keep warm, and keeping track
of new rulings on what you can
eat, mom, you ain't having no
picnic. But cheer up, mom. Your
troubles make me sorer at the
Axis than ever and I will fight
harder to break up this war
now.

Teacher-Why, Mary, that's a
queer pair of stockings you have
on, one green and one brown.
Mary-Yes, and I have gQt another pair ju$t like those at home.

I am well and stro::g if a little
muddy . I wood feel better if I knew
who was on the level over here
and who was not. Some Frenchman is double-crossing some other
Frenchman or vices versa every few
minutes and I gess General Eisenhower is having a time straightening
out the line-up. Every day somebody else is arrested for trying to
run the wrong way with the ball.

• • •

Well, I see there's a ruling you
can not send me no more packages
unless I ask for them and get the
brasshats to okay it which makes me
sore. It makes me feel silly making
out a list of thing3 I w0od like and
reading it to a officel· uKe I was asking Santa Claus for some presents.

• • •

The brasshat I wood have to ask
is a sourpuss. He wood not okay
nothing for me so I am going to tell
him I want a player-piano, a barrel
of beer, catcher's mitt and a polo
pony from my folks. I got nothing
to lose.

Most o! the more than five m I\ r
inhabitants o! French Mo~occo a~.
Moslem Berbers and Ar3'-:s, wi :1
a turbulent past. There are lar;; ·
Jewish colonies, and
a
goo&lt;..
many Negroes.
In recent years,
large numbers o! Europeans, especially French, have settled in French
Morocco. New quarters of cities,
with striking modern buildings, have
sprung up. Huge sums were poured
into the construction of the new
"show city" of Casablanca. Contrasts between the unchanging ancient oriental customs and 20th century civilization are seen on every
hand.
Rabat, on the Atlantic coast north
of Casablanca, is the seat of th e
French administration; capital of
the Sultanate is Fez, in tt:e interior.
Marrakech, almost within t'1e shnd·
ow of the high Aeas, is a c:::orful
resort city.
More than a thousand miles
of railway link the chief towns of
the colony and connect with Algeria's
main lines. Of the · 4,500 miles of
roads, more than 2,500 are first class,
with paving over long llretches. In
normal times, there was daily air
service between Casablanca and Toulouse, in France; another route
reached to Dukar, jumping-off
place for South Atlantic trans -ocean- ,
IC flights.
France's authority in the colony is
administered by a resident general.
Nominally, French Morocco is an
absolute monarchy, headed by the
Sultan Sidi Mohammed.

Short Takes
Private David A. Jernigan, Raleigh, N. C., now stationed at Keesler
Field, Miss., is an uncle of Corporal
Hargrove of "See Here, Private Hargrove," fame. (Hargrove recently
was promoted.) . . . Going up!
That's the description of Private
Robert Wickizer, Aurora, Ill., who
stands six feet, six inches and weighs
250 pounds. Incidentally, the soldier

huge mural in the Service club at
Keesler Field is completed. The
huge undertaking occupies an area of
1,000 square feet and upon completion will be valued at approximately
$10,000.
Cook, Add Water. Eat
Pre-cooked and pre-mixed breakfast cereals are now available to
United States troops ov('!rseas, the
war department disclosed . A process, developed by the quartermaster
corps, permits the serving of these
dishes, chiefly wnole wheat and oat·
meal, merely by adding water. Th6
cereals are cooked u~til they contain no more than 12 per cent moisture. They are then packed in containers and sent to the far fiurrg
outposts where by adding the water they are made as edible as the

Bougit&gt;, thruc;t l"lto the \\'ar news
by United Nnl10r s lnnd.ng forces,
lies slightly more than a third of the
way between Alg e r: and the Tunisian border.
"Bougie" mE'anc; candle. or candle
power, in Fre ch, say a bulletin
from the Natlonr.l Geographic society. If light from Eoug1e were
beamed due north across the Mediterranean it would str1ke Marseille,
some 460 miles away.
If the American forces of occupation were on a peacetime mission
they would find that Bougie presents
opportunities for some interesting
sightseeing. Remains of ancient
forts, walls, and other structures
recall its importance from earliest
recorded time.
When Carthage was in power, the
site of what is now :&amp;ougie was a
thriving post for trade. The Romans later called it Saldae, and
erected there fortifications, baths,
and handsome public buildings. The
Vandals and the Berbers captured
it in turn. During the 11th century,
the Berbers made it a metropolis
of a hundred thousand inhabitants,
with mosques, colleges, and an active business in tile and pottery
manufacture. Later came the Turks
and other conquerors. By the time
the French moved into the city, in
the 1830s, centuries of international
wars and piracy had so devastated
it that little remained except ruins.

Casablanca Principal Port
For French West Africa
Casablanca, Morocco's Atlantic
port where United States bombers
are reported to have dropped hundreds of bombs on extensive harbor
installations, is Morocco's principal
port and western terminus of the
railroad
running
east through
French North Africa, says the National Geographic society. Just before the war tonnage had increased
some 15 times in a quarter century.
Since France took possession 35
years ago it has poured $65,000,000
into harbor developments. The harbor and railroad connections were
the leading factors in promoting a
Moorish fishing village into a modern city of 175,000 population, nearly
half European.
In addition to a battery of cranes
there is a floating dock, pipe line
for oil fuel, and railway sidings over
which pass more than half of Morocco's export trade, and 70 per
cent of the imports.
Two long moles enclose the 350acre harbor, dominated by huge
warehouses and grain elevators.
Special quays handle coal and phosphates.
Algiers: A Curious Mixture
The French found Algiers an accessible spot which combined the
pleasures of an exotic foreign holiday with many comforts of home.
For Algiers is a curious mixture of
modern French city life and Arab
customs which have changed little
in a thousand years.
The off-duty American soldier for
instance, may look for souvenirs in
a smart French shop, or choose to
visit the native market place.
In the European section, the Yank
will find- against a North African
background of mosque and palm
tree-urban theaters, open air cafes,
hotels and commercial offices, along
with broad paved avenues where
normally automobiles and trolleybuses run. But it is another world
in the native quarter which climbs
fhe hills back of the water front
area. There, narrow streets twist
and turn, streets that are darkened
by houses whose overhanging upper
stories may literally form a roof
over the heads of the passers-by.

Tobacco Taxes Increase
Tobacco taxes collected by the
states increased 761 per cent during
the last decade-from approximately $17,000,000 to more than $130,000,000, an analysis by the Federation of
Tax Administrators showed recently. Greater part of the jump was
caused by the increase in the number of states making the tobacco
levy during the 10-year period. In
1932 there were only 13 states with Engeln .................. ... l 76 !52 157 485

The smart simplicity that characterizes war·time hair styles demands, first of all, that the hair be
kept immaculately clean. The art
of hair dressing depends on two
things-frequent soap and water
shampoos, and a smart simple hair
cut. With this foundation, even a
novice can dress her hair in any
one of several simple becoming
ways.

The Sf'e-saw character of the warfare on the Russian front had continued with Soviet offensives pushing on without interruption toward
the ~oals of Smolensk and Staraya
Russa, while German counter-offensives were striking with increasing
power in the Kharkov sector.
The main force of the Russian
drive toward Smolcnsk had been concentrated on a stretch of the Vyazma-Smolensk railroad. The Reds
were reported as having captured
scores of settlements south of Bely.
Much of the fighting was reported
west of the Dnieper river headwaters.
The German offensive further
south had ran ~ ed from Kharkov to
Kursk, with epic tank battles and a
struggle for supremacy in the air.
A German communique had reported that "Enemy forces encircled
southeast of Kharkov have been annihilated with the exception of small
remnants." Far northwest of Kharkov and on a battle line extending
down into the Donets river basin, the
Germans were reported concentrating their reserves and tanks on narrow sectors still held by the Russians.

Lining the deck of a U. S. submarine as it docks at Pearl Harbor
after a successful raid on the Jap base on Makin island, these marine
raiders are ready for the comforts of shore for a while. The raiders,
transported to Ule island and back aboard American submarines, wiped
eut the garrison and aU enemy installations there.

FARM LABOR:

MANPOWER:

Deferment Act Passed

Supply and Demand

Congress demonstrated unmistakably that it meant business in dealing with the farm labor shortage.
Evidence of this determination
was :found in the senate's action in
passing legislation to defer all essential farm workers from military
service. The measure which had
required house approval woulc;l direct draft boards to defer men employed substantially full-time in production of essential foods and fibers.
Although Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson had strenuously opposed
blanket farm deferments, sponsors
of the legislation contended such action was necessary.
The house meanwhile had moved
to combat the farm labor shortage in
another direction, by passing a bill
appropriating $261,000,000 to recruit
and train 3,500,000 men and women
as a "land army."

Three months of unpublicized
preparation had been necessary for
the action that was to culminate in
a meeting between Gen. Henri Giraud and Gen. Charles DeGaulle
and bridge once and for all the
.c hasm that had separated the
French North African regime and
the Fighting French.
When Gen. Giraud had annou ~d
that everything reminiscent of ·
y
rule was to be thrown overboard
and then had followed with decisive
decrees translating words into action, the day of French unity
dawned.
Happily received by the DeGaullists, were Giraud's decrees nullifying all Vichy laws discriminating
against Jews, restricting the activities of labor unions and banning
Freemasonry.
Even before the Giraud decrees
and the resignation from his government of ex-Vichy officials, Fighting
French leaders meeting in London
rejoiced that events in North Africa
had taken a more favorable turn
and that Giraud's invitation to DeGaulle for a conference would meet
a friendly reception.
Further evidence of the increasing
unity of French interests was the
action of French Guiana's government in breaking away from Vichy
control and joining forces with General Giraud. This South American
possession had previously been under control of Axis-minded Adm.

Washington, D. C.
The other day, Elmer Davis, head
of the Office of War Information,
held a press conference. He opened
it with the remark that we were
witnessing an Uncle Tom's Cabin
without the Simon Legree. I didn't
get the significance of the remark
until Davis explained that Representative Tabor, who charged Mr.
Davis with using the Office of War
Information to distribute propaganda for a fourth term, had been invited to share the conference but
had other duties.
Obviously, the purpose of the
meeting was to show how the money for the publication of propaganda
was being spent and a good deal of
time was taken up on comparative
costs of British, American and Axis
propaganda efforts. If the OWI carries out present plans, it will be
spending at the rate of 45 millions
of dollars by the end of the year.
Britain, with its separate ministry
of information, is spending much
more than we are--Germany probably f.our or five times as much.
That's a rough estimate. But the
figures didn't interest me so much
and I'll tell you why. I had come
to the meeting a little early and
had been studying the array of literature-arranged on two tablesthe American and the Axis propaganda material. There were handsome publications like the German
magazines "Signal," "Berlin-RomeTokyo," and Japan's "Nippon."
"Signal" costs 75 cents a copy to
produce-the art work in all of them
must make "Esquire" and "Fortune" envious. There were tiny
pamphlets-these were Americanyou could slip into your hat band.
The OWl's masterpiece is "Victory"
which was the target of congressional attack-it isn't so bad in comparison with the expensive Axis
magazines but it costs only 35 cents
to produce.
Three things struck me as a result of the conference; first, if there
is an even chance of obtaining the
results expecf.ed, t,he investment i,s
not ~orth quibbling about; second,
since Davis admits that material
I got into the Roosevelt sketch which
should not have and won't again, we
either ought to take Davis' judgment or else fire tim. Thirdly, the
public hasn't had a chance to know
what the propaganda is all about
and the critic;sm of one phase of it ·
utterly distorts the general picture
of the .function, purpose and value
of the OWl effort.
In the first place, these publications under consideration are not
for our troops abroad or our people
at home - though I believe they
ought to lrJe given some circulation
here simply so that their function
is understood, at least when it is
compatible with the confidential nature of some of the mea tis of distribution in enemy countries.
It is accepted as the duty and
function for one political party to
do all it can to discredit the leaders
of the other party-according to the
rules of the game of politics-but,
as Davis quoted the Baltimore Sun,
you have to exploit your personalities. People mean a lot more than
mere ideas when you are trying to
make an impression. Roosevelt can
be played up as a powerful symbol
to people abroad without affecting
the political situation at home. That
was done effectively in the case of
Woodrow Wilson in the last war, his
picture was worshiped all over Europe, as the symbol of the leader of
a nation coming to liberate them.
But when he came home, he couldn't
sell his program to the American
people.

How about results? That is pretty
hard to reduce to statistics or even
concrete statements. We know some

propaganda leaflets in their hands.

feet. They say that this means that
the idea has been spread that America is in touch with the people within
the occupied territory.
We know that some of these pamphlets have been photostated or copied in others and given further distribution. It was stated that these
copies or excerpts from them have
even been circulatl!d in prison
camps.
We know that from four to six
clandestine newspapers are made
up chiefly from Allied propaganda
material.
Of co~rse, by no means all of the
OWl propaganda is spread through
publications. In fact, the radio
broadcasts represent the greater
part of the expenditure.
OWl is confident that this radio
propaganda is not wasted as has
been charged although it is admitted that the listening audience is
being cut down as short-wave sets
are seized or wear out and the de·
predation is heavy. On the other
hand, it is known that the radio
broadcasts are repeated-by word
of mouth and in clandestine pamphlets and newspapers.
The c'1ief evidence that propaganda is reaching into Germany comes
from two sources: fir&amp;t, the speeches
of Goebbels and other German leaders who warn against black listening-warning not to believe the foreign propaganda-and, second, the
records of frials. of persons arrested for this black listening.

With the supply of labor for essential war work lagging, the WMC
estimated that at least 2,800,000 essential jobs in munitions, transpor·

Wise Seed Use
Occasionally a home gardener \
feels that he has a poor stand of
plants in his garden because he did
not use enough seed. If he used old
seed of low germinating power, this
may be true; but usually the weather or some other condition has pre ·
vented the seedling plants from get
ting a good start. Gardeners are
far more likely to plant the seed too
thickly than otherwise. This invqlves
extra work in thinning out extra
plants; or in many gardens, it
means that the plants stay crowded
and never produce as much food as 1
they might.
In buying seed, it is wise to .plan
the amount of seed needed for the
space to be planted. The seeding
rates suggested in seed catalogues
or other booklets on gardening give
a good mar~in of safety.

French 'Reunion' Isle
Has Interesting History
Reunion's history is as varied as
its topography. Discovered in 1545
by a Portuguese, Mascarenhas, the
island bore his name until 1643 when
it was claimed for France and-renamed Bourbon Island. Colonization
began in 1664 at St. Paul bay under
the direction o! the French East India company. In 1764 the island reverted to the French government.
When the Revolutionists came to
power in France they called the island "Reunion," an idea thc1t endured only to the rise of Napoleon.
"Ile Bonaparte" then became the
fashion. The English seized the is·
land in 1810, and gave it back five
years later.
"Reunion" again
emerged as the island's official name.
Reunion hq.s been administered as
a department of France through a
resident governor and consul general. Three delegates, one to the
French seJJate, two t0 the house of
deputies, traveled the 7,500 miles to
Paris to represe-nt the island's in·
tercsts in the French parliament.
Their constituents are, for the most
part, Frenchmen, British, Indians,
Chinese, Africans, and natives o!
Madagascar. To Reunion, France haa
sometimes sent political exiles, notably Abd el Krim, famed Riff leader in 1926.

New Nurses' Uniforms
An entirely new wardrobe of uniforms and service clothing for the
army nurse corps has been designed
by clothing experts of the quartermaster corps, assisted by prominent
women's wear designers, the war
department announced. The traditional nurses' navy blue will now
give way to oli'\e drab in the street
and general service uniform. The
starched white uniform will be replaced for service in overseas theaters of operations by a brown and
white, pin-striped seersucker, with
the white uniform of the same design as the brown but of a poplin

Flamingo Diet
A special diet, devised to prevent ,
red flamingos at the New York Zo- \
ological park in the Bronx from fading to a pale pink, is proving sue- 1
cessful not only for the red flamin- I
gos but also is starting to tinge the
normally white feathers of other ·
fiamingos a light red. The diet was
introduced in August after the zoo
acquired four bright red flamingos
from the Hialeah race track, in
Miami, Fla. Other red flamingos,
upon exposure to New York's environment, had always faded to a
light pink, barely distinguishable j
from white. Addition of special vitamins and oils to the mashed "game
food" and rice customarily fed
to the birds supplied the new diet.

Save Radio Batteries
Battery-run radios, including a
great many used on farms, should be
operated on the basis of obtaining
at the very most only a single
set of replacement batteries a year.
Pointing out that production of
farm radio batteries has been cut
due to restrictions on zinc and to
other factors, radio owners are
urged to follow simple conservation
rules for assuring maximum service
from their present supply. The rules
include: 1. Don't waste your batteries. 2. Avoid long, continuous radio operation. 3. Keep batteries
away from heat. 4. Have the tubes
checked regularly. 5. Disconnect
batteries from radio when not in operation.

IIWfUAia
Augusta Traver&amp;-you know, the
one who runs the little hat shop down
on Main Street-she's always been
dead set against gambling in any
form. Never will forget when I was
a kid and she found little Hammy,
her youngest nephew, playing marules for keeps out back of the shop.
Took it on herself to give him a whaling and point out the evils of gambling. She's a strict woman, Augusta,
real strict. Good as gold, of course.
But mighty set against the lighter

She left the middle empty. Then she

My wife couldn't wait to get hE:rself down there and inside Augusta's
shop to see what in the wide world
had happened to her, turning right
around about gambling like that.
You know my wife. She kind of likes
to talk .. She went right up to Augusta

Plan Garden Carefully
Careful selection of the varieties
of vegetables for vict0ry gardens
this year is necessary if gardeners
are to harvest good crops. Richness
of the soil, amount of water available, amount of space, the length of
the frost-free season, and the amount
o! sun or shade should be considered
before seeds are bought or other
preparations made. Among the kinds
which need special care in selection
of varieties for early maturity are
bush and pole beans, sweet corn,
eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, canteloupe, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins
and similarly easily frosted vegetables.

Save Tax Dollars
For every five dollars of allowable
expenses that can be deducted from
gross farm income in making out a
federal income tax return, a farm
family saves about one dollar in the
amount of the total tax paid. Farm
families are willing to pay their just
taxes, just as are other citizens, but
they should not unknowingly pay
more than they are expected into the
federal coffers, experts point out.
American Tung Oil Increasing
While production of tung oil in
the United States has a long way to
go before it can approximate the
quantities imported from China in
pre-war years, nevertheless the estimated 1942 production in America
will approximate 10 million pounds,
or approximately 5 per cent of the
annual American
requirements

AMBASSADOR CLARENCE E.
GAUSS, starting toward bond\Yeary Washington from bomb-weary
Chungking for consultations, should
aU the
0 n W ay H ere With have
n e w s •w e
First-Hand Tale of need about
War-Weary China China on
the tip of
his tongue. Except for a couple of
turns in Paris and Australia, he has
served all his diplomatic career
there, and his career runs back to
1907.
Shanghai was his first post. He
was deputy consul, after a while
spent at stenography in the house
of representatives. Then he was
consul at Amoy, Tsinan, Mukden,
and finally counselor to the legation
at Peiping.
Washington was his birthplace and
he got back now and then, marrying a Los Angeles girl on one visit.
Maybe her preference turned him
to the Paris consulate. The Australian assignment came later. He was
our first minister there. But when
an ambassador to China was needed two years ago he packed up
and went back to his old stamping
ground.
He has been a quiet ambassador.
He has a lean, quiet look and a
shrewd one too, behind neat spectacles. When he smiles a dimple
that is practically a sinkhole appears
in his right cheek. This is because
he smiles so much more with the
right side of his sharp mouth. The
effect, though this description may
make it seem otherwise, isn't bad
at aU.

Lynn Says:
The Score Card: When you plan
m eals these da ys , do it with ration book in h a nd. R em e mber,
you're spending not only money
but points and that requires extra keeping of accounts.
Plan meals in advance keeping in mind what you need and
what points you can use to best
advantage with it. Don't squander points . If, for example, you
have an eight-point coupon, and
need something valued at six
points , try not to use the eightpoint coupon except with anything which corresponds with it.
Since canned and p ackaged
goods will be a t a premium, pla n
those m enus car efully . Don't do
without fr uits a nd vegetables if

Questions raised in recent
weeks as to wh~ther America
shall have the army of 8,200,000
men which its military leadership has determined to be the
minimum with which we can
expect to defeat our enemies
have not, it seems to me, given
due consideration to military
necessity.
We are out to win this war.
The nation has entrusted the responsibility for this victory to its
military leaders. This leadership-the joint chiefs of staff of
the army and navy, after the
most careful analysis of our enemies' strength, has decidea that
we must build an armed force
of approximately 11,000,000,
which includes an army of 8,200,000 for 1943-44.
Our own men have been in
contact only with the smallest of
the Axis armies-a part of its
Tunisian force of less than a
quarter of a million men. But
the striking force of this powerful foe has already been felt by
our troops.
The German field armies are
assisted by more than one million men in semi-military organizations, such as the military police, engineers, and supply depots, which in our army are included among service troops.
Reliable sources indicate that the
combined number of those in the
G~rman and Italian armed forces
and those directly assisting them
runs well over 13 million. It is evident at this point' that the superiority of our enemies in the European
theater is of ominous proportions.
A similar analysis in the Pacific
area does not brighten the picture.
The Japanese army exceeds by
many divisions the forces that the
United Nations have been able to
equip and place in opposition.
Yet the United Nations, and particularly this country, have the potential power to overcome this numerical superiority. These potentialities must be converted to actuality. They must be harnessed and
driven toward a single goal, the defeat of our enemies. In that drive
our country, the latest of the major powers to enter the war, must
play the most important part.

American troops land in North Africa. They are the vanguard of o
proposed force of 8,200,000 men who will be needed to defeat the Axis,
war official says.
needed by our forces, by our Allies
and by our civilian economy. Full
account has also been taken of the
ability of our rapidly expanding
merchant marine to deliver soldiers
and supplies overseas. The conclusion reached was that it was a hard
job, but that it could and must be
done.
But there are critics of the army
program who ask, "Why should we
fight? Why not give more supplies
to the British, the Chinese and the
Russians and let them fight for us?"
The British, with the smallest
available manpower and subject to
savage aerial attacks, h ave come
nearer than any other of the United

for more arduous labor s and sacri·
fices on the home front.
Realism must extend fr om the fox·
holes and pill-boxes on the fir in g'
line to the factories a nd h omes o1
America. When our country is a t
war, none of us can escape the
responsibility of viewing the rou·
tine, as w ell as the emergency du·
t ies of life, in t he light of th eir
bearing upon t he final result- uncondit ional surrender by our enemies.
This nation has don e a magnificent job in production for war. But
t here is an even heavier task ahead.
We will h ave s er ious problems be·
cause of the inc reasing drain on
our manpower. But sim ilar problems have been s olved in Engla nd,
Russia, Germany and Japan. Nonessential activities are out for the
duration and these countries are
fully mobilized-to a much greater
extent than we. On every one rests
the equal obligation to give service
either in the armed forces or on th e
home front. Why should we suppose
that we can wage war successfully
without mobilizing our human resources with a thoroughness at least
approaching that of our enemies and
of our principal allies?

Undersecretary of war.

N ations to the full-time war employm e nt of eve ry man, woman and
child. The Chinese ha ve been heroically fighting for 5% years. The
Russians, by brilliant tactics and ,
with indomita ble cour a ge, have
killed more Nazis than all the other
United Nations combined. We should
give tribute to their dead, for they
have sacrificed cpuntless lives. But
their manpower is not inexhaustible.
}Ve're In the War, Too, and
It Will Be Won the Hard Way

This is our war just as much as
it is the war of the British, the Russians and the Chinese. We are sending supplies to the utmost of our
ability to these and the other United
Nations. We will eol'ltinue to do so.
But it will be our soldiers and sailors, and those of our Allies, that will
win the final victory.
Elemental truths are often the
most difficult to ~as]J. Throughout
all ages people have tried to avoid
facing up to the reality that war
is grim business; have lonfed for
an easy war; and have hoped that
somehow, some way, victory could
be gained without risking too much
or without experiencing the stark
unpleasantness of the conflict. But
all the wishing in the world does
not change the nature of war and
its impact on all peoples engaged in
it, whether in the battle lines or at
home.
The hour for r e alism has a rrived
for every American. We must brace
ourselves for mounti ng casualty lists
and reverses on the battle front, and

The needs of the armed force s
must come first. T he problem s of
turnover and abse nteeism must a nd
can be solved. Each of us must
work to the utmost of his capability.
We must a lso t ackle our farm labor problem with vigor . The re are
white colla r workers in non-essential industries who can go back to
t!ote fa rms from which t hey came.
There a re victory ga rden s to be encom·a ged. More work can be d one
by wom en. F a rm m ac hiner y can
be poole d. M any steps c an be ta ken to increase pr odu ct ion on the
farms.
We cannot solve our m anpowe r
problems by whit tling down the size
of our armed forces. The problem
must be tackled at its source. Every
one wants to do his or her share to
help win the war and must serve
where he or she can render the best
service. The decision cannot be
based upon personal desire.
With vast territories and r esources
at their disposal, the Axis cannot
be defea ted by a blockade. Victory
will come from decisive military action, backed by an armed force/ and
ability so overwhelmingly superior
that t he enemy 's further action will
be futile.
In World War I, it was our American Expeditionary force of 2,000,000
added to the strengtb of our Allies,
that made the enemy surrender. On
November 11, 1918, the Allies had
32 fresh divisions in reserve. The
Germans only had two. The Allies
had a total of 213 divisions. The
Germans had 185. The Germans
were aware of these figures. Their
ability to reason from figures is well
known. They decided that they could
not win, and they quit.
Now, as then, t he enemy must be
m a de to realize that t hey cannot
win. Now, a s th en, we must make
the m see tha t we are going to see
the job through.

Army Determines Size After
Careful Study of Ita Needs

Offensive action requires superiority in numbers. This is the reason
we need an army of 8,200,000 including officers by the end of t his year.
The navy, the marines and the coast
guard ne ed 2,600,000 this year. That
makes a total of 10,800,000 m en and
women that must be in the armed
forces by the end of this yea r. This
will be less than 8lf.! per cent of our
total population. Thir teen and a
half pe r cent of the German population is in the armed forces.
Ten million, eight hundred thousand is not a figure pulled out of a
hat. It is the requirement determined by those charged with the
heavy responsibility of winning this
war.
General Marshall says that we
need so many planes and so many
tanks to win the war. Is there anyone in America who would question
his judgment? Admiral King says
that we need so many e!(:ort ships
and destroyers to beat the Axis. Is
there anyone in America who would
question his judgment? The expert
views of our military leaders are accepted on our needs for guns and
ships. Why should anyone question
their judgment as to the number of
m en that they need to use these
weapons and man these ships?
The staffs of the army and the
navy under General Marshall and
Admiral King, in full poss ession of
the facts, have made the military
decision that a force this size is
necessary to win the war. Our Commander-in-Chief, the President of
the United States, has approved this
progra m . It is America's answer to
the Axis. The Axis, I assure you,
"ioes not like that answer.
In making this decision full aceount has been taken of the ability
of America"n industry and labor and
agriculture to produce the supplies

'World's Safest'
The U. S. army air forces pilots
have been pro:~ounced the "world's
safest'' by Col. Sam R. Harris of
Selfridge Field, Mich.
"I know that accidents will happen," declared Colonel Harris, "I
know, too, that the accident rate in
the army air forces of the United
States is far below that of any of
our allies or any of our enemies."
Colonel Harris brought out the fact
that on the basis of present rates,
775 out of 1,000 pilots will fly for an
entire year without an accident of
any kind. Out of the 225 who are
involved in accidents, said Colonel
Harris, fewer than 50 will receive
an injury of any kind.
"This is a good record of safety,
ipdecd it is a great record," Colonel
Harris said, "but it is not perfectand we will be satisfied with nothing
short of perfection."

Do You Know How to Tell

What is a sordin· ? Wh) i a sardine'? When is a mdine not o ..ardine?
Many \'arieties of fry, il'cludmg
undersized herring and m~.:.-thad&lt;&gt;n,
have been tinned in vcg tal&gt;! oil
and sold to satisfy sordin£&gt; nppetites. The true sardine, howe;\cr,
is not the dwarf !Ish it app ars to
be, but ts the young of the pilchard.
The pilchard, a mPmber of the great
herring family, is plentiful in the
waters of Europe's coast !rom the
English channel to Sa ·dima. and it
is from this Mediterranean island
that the sardme took its name.
The sardine canning mdustry of
France"s Brittany peninsula is nearly a century old. The 'lrcPII£&gt;nt reputation of the Brittany product is
due in part to the freshly pressed
oliYe oil of the region, jn y,h!ch Brittany sardines are cann •d.
In Amencan waters t'le pi!cl,ard
ranges in abundance off the Pacific
shor·e from Canada's Queen Charlotte islands to the Gulf of California. While Oregon and Washin ton
fishermen know it as the pilchard,
to Californians it is known almost
exclusively as the California sm·dine. Large commercial quantities
are landed at Monterey, Los Angeles, San Fr~nc1sco and San D1ego
in the main season, August through
Februaiy.

Flow of fr ight between Me. 1co

the gap in rail transportation. The
Mexican line came to a de~d entl in
the river town of Suchiatc. Tlw
river of the same name \\ ,1s both
boundary and barrier. On the
Guatemalan side is the town of Ayutla.
Through northbound freight had to
be unloaded on ox carL.; from cars of
the International railways of Central America, and then hauled a
mile to the river. There it was
transferred to small barrcs for the
river crossing. From the riv£&gt;r mo·
tor trucks hauled it to Suchiate for
shipment over the lines of ti1e National railways of M0xico. The ferries have a maximum cap&lt;city of
about a ton. Total daily tonnage
handled was 40 to 50.
Another hitch was the difference
in rail widths. To accommodate
both standard and narrow gauge
equipment, the new bridge there
now carries three rails.

Air

Experts Overcome

Fatal Affects of Vibration
Tiny two-ounce electric ears, put
into service by the research staff of
the Glenn L. Martin company to run
down to its varioss lurking places
that most deadly of aerodynamic
mysteries- flutter. In more simple
terms, flutter is a vibration which
increases in intensity until such
parts as wing or tail surfaces break
off in the air.
It was already known what caused
flutter to appear. Take a wing for
example. A common cause of flutter in wings is the "getting together"
of the vibration of the wing itself
and that of some part attached to it
-say an aileron. Once the two vibrations get synchronized-and they
often did in the old days-the wing
is almost certain to come off in the
air with tragic suddenness.
The Martin-devised equipment
was set up to check the mathematically predicted vibration of the wing
and at the same time of the parts
connected with it, and record the
frequencies on graph paper. Vibration engineers studied these graphs
and predicted at what point the frequencies would harmonize- at what
speed the wing as designed would
part company with plane. If that
speed was well above any speed the
plane could possibly make, they
knew the wing was safe.

But thereaftet they spent the
rest of their life in Crete, Ill.
Even after her husband 's death.
Mrs. Christiansen still continued
living by herself in (rete. Old
age, however, compelled her to

The Sf'e-saw character of the warfare on the Russian front had continued with Soviet offensives pushing on without interruption toward
the ~oals of Smolensk and Staraya
Russa, while German counter-offensives were striking with increasing
power in the Kharkov sector.
The main force of the Russian
drive toward Smolcnsk had been concentrated on a stretch of the Vyazma-Smolensk railroad. The Reds
were reported as having captured
scores of settlements south of Bely.
Much of the fighting was reported
west of the Dnieper river headwaters.
The German offensive further
south had ran ~ ed from Kharkov to
Kursk, with epic tank battles and a
struggle for supremacy in the air.
A German communique had reported that "Enemy forces encircled
southeast of Kharkov have been annihilated with the exception of small
remnants." Far northwest of Kharkov and on a battle line extending
down into the Donets river basin, the
Germans were reported concentrating their reserves and tanks on narrow sectors still held by the Russians.

FARM LABOR:

MANPOWER:

Deferment Act Passed

Supply and Demand

Congress demonstrated unmistakably that it meant business in dealing with the farm labor shortage.
Evidence of this determination
was :found in the senate's action in
passing legislation to defer all essential farm workers from military
service. The measure which had
required house approval woulc;l direct draft boards to defer men employed substantially full-time in production of essential foods and fibers.
Although Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson had strenuously opposed
blanket farm deferments, sponsors
of the legislation contended such action was necessary.
The house meanwhile had moved
to combat the farm labor shortage in
another direction, by passing a bill
appropriating $261,000,000 to recruit
and train 3,500,000 men and women
as a "land army."

Three months of unpublicized
preparation had been necessary for
the action that was to culminate in
a meeting between Gen. Henri Giraud and Gen. Charles DeGaulle
and bridge once and for all the
.c hasm that had separated the
French North African regime and
the Fighting French.
When Gen. Giraud had annou ~d
that everything reminiscent of ·
y
rule was to be thrown overboard
and then had followed with decisive
decrees translating words into action, the day of French unity
dawned.
Happily received by the DeGaullists, were Giraud's decrees nullifying all Vichy laws discriminating
against Jews, restricting the activities of labor unions and banning
Freemasonry.
Even before the Giraud decrees
and the resignation from his government of ex-Vichy officials, Fighting
French leaders meeting in London
rejoiced that events in North Africa
had taken a more favorable turn
and that Giraud's invitation to DeGaulle for a conference would meet
a friendly reception.
Further evidence of the increasing
unity of French interests was the
action of French Guiana's government in breaking away from Vichy
control and joining forces with General Giraud. This South American
possession had previously been under control of Axis-minded Adm.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. C.
The other day, Elmer Davis, head
of the Office of War Information,
held a press conference. He opened
it with the remark that we were
witnessing an Uncle Tom's Cabin
without the Simon Legree. I didn't
get the significance of the remark
until Davis explained that Representative Tabor, who charged Mr.
Davis with using the Office of War
Information to distribute propaganda for a fourth term, had been invited to share the conference but
had other duties.
Obviously, the purpose of the
meeting was to show how the money for the publication of propaganda
was being spent and a good deal of
time was taken up on comparative
costs of British, American and Axis
propaganda efforts. If the OWI carries out present plans, it will be
spending at the rate of 45 millions
of dollars by the end of the year.
Britain, with its separate ministry
of information, is spending much
more than we are--Germany probably f.our or five times as much.
That's a rough estimate. But the
figures didn't interest me so much
and I'll tell you why. I had come
to the meeting a little early and
had been studying the array of literature-arranged on two tablesthe American and the Axis propaganda material. There were handsome publications like the German
magazines "Signal," "Berlin-RomeTokyo," and Japan's "Nippon."
"Signal" costs 75 cents a copy to
produce-the art work in all of them
must make "Esquire" and "Fortune" envious. There were tiny
pamphlets-these were Americanyou could slip into your hat band.
The OWl's masterpiece is "Victory"
which was the target of congressional attack-it isn't so bad in comparison with the expensive Axis
magazines but it costs only 35 cents
to produce.
Three things struck me as a result of the conference; first, if there
is an even chance of obtaining the
results expecf.ed, t,he investment i,s
not ~orth quibbling about; second,
since Davis admits that material
I got into the Roosevelt sketch which
should not have and won't again, we
either ought to take Davis' judgment or else fire tim. Thirdly, the
public hasn't had a chance to know
what the propaganda is all about
and the critic;sm of one phase of it ·
utterly distorts the general picture
of the .function, purpose and value
of the OWl effort.
In the first place, these publications under consideration are not
for our troops abroad or our people
at home - though I believe they
ought to lrJe given some circulation
here simply so that their function
is understood, at least when it is
compatible with the confidential nature of some of the mea tis of distribution in enemy countries.
It is accepted as the duty and
function for one political party to
do all it can to discredit the leaders
of the other party-according to the
rules of the game of politics-but,
as Davis quoted the Baltimore Sun,
you have to exploit your personalities. People mean a lot more than
mere ideas when you are trying to
make an impression. Roosevelt can
be played up as a powerful symbol
to people abroad without affecting
the political situation at home. That
was done effectively in the case of
Woodrow Wilson in the last war, his
picture was worshiped all over Europe, as the symbol of the leader of
a nation coming to liberate them.
But when he came home, he couldn't
sell his program to the American
people.

How about results? That is pretty
hard to reduce to statistics or even
concrete statements. We know some
Japs have surrendered with our
propaganda leaflets in their hands.
We know that leaflets dropped over
occupied countries or pamphlets
smuggled in have started people
talking. OWl has reports to this ef.
feet. They say that this means that
the idea has been spread that America is in touch with the people within
the occupied territory.
We know that some of these pamphlets have been photostated or copied in others and given further distribution. It was stated that these
copies or excerpts from them have
even been circulatl!d in prison
camps.
We know that from four to six
clandestine newspapers are made
up chiefly from Allied propaganda
material.
Of co~rse, by no means all of the
OWl propaganda is spread through
publications. In fact, the radio
broadcasts represent the greater
part of the expenditure.
OWl is confident that this radio
propaganda is not wasted as has
been charged although it is admitted that the listening audience is
being cut down as short-wave sets
are seized or wear out and the de·
predation is heavy. On the other
hand, it is known that the radio
broadcasts are repeated-by word
of mouth and in clandestine pamphlets and newspapers.
The c'1ief evidence that propaganda is reaching into Germany comes
from two sources: fir&amp;t, the speeches
of Goebbels and other German leaders who warn against black listening-warning not to believe the foreign propaganda-and, second, the
records of frials. of persons arrested for this black listening.

The problem of manpower for war
industries grew more acute as the
War Manpower commission placed
the steel-producing districts of South
Chicago-Northern Indiana on a 48hour week basis and designated 36
areas in the United States as sections in which a critical labor shortage is soon expected.
With the supply of labor for essential war work lagging, the WMC
estimated that at least 2,800,000 essential jobs in munitions, transpor·
tation, agriculture and other industries must be filled this year from
the less essential work classes. Included in this latter category were

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD

Important. 'a val Base
Wilhelmshaven, first German citj
to be pounded by an all-Americd n
bomber squadron, was the sc0ne of
a mutiny that helped break the&gt; bacl:
of German resistance in Novembc r,
1918. Mutiny by the crews of two
battleships at Wilhelmshavu v. ;.JS
quickly followed at Kiel by the
spread of revolution to the wh&lt; Je
tieet and to the land.
It has been an important naval
station for nearly a century. The
site on Jade bay, due south of Helgoland, German island sentinel in
the North sea, 365 miles by airhne
from London, was purchased and the
station planned in 1853. Two years
later construction began.

Wise Seed Use
Occasionally a home gardener \
feels that he has a poor stand of
plants in his garden because he did
not use enough seed. If he used old
seed of low germinating power, this
may be true; but usually the weather or some other condition has pre ·
vented the seedling plants from get
ting a good start. Gardeners are
far more likely to plant the seed too
thickly than otherwise. This invqlves
extra work in thinning out extra
plants; or in many gardens, it
means that the plants stay crowded
and never produce as much food as 1
they might.
In buying seed, it is wise to .plan
the amount of seed needed for the
space to be planted. The seeding
rates suggested in seed catalogues
or other booklets on gardening give
a good mar~in of safety.

French 'Reunion' Isle
Has Interesting History
Reunion's history is as varied as
its topography. Discovered in 1545
by a Portuguese, Mascarenhas, the
island bore his name until 1643 when
it was claimed for France and-renamed Bourbon Island. Colonization
began in 1664 at St. Paul bay under
the direction o! the French East India company. In 1764 the island reverted to the French government.
When the Revolutionists came to
power in France they called the island "Reunion," an idea thc1t endured only to the rise of Napoleon.
"Ile Bonaparte" then became the
fashion. The English seized the is·
land in 1810, and gave it back five
years later.
"Reunion" again
emerged as the island's official name.
Reunion hq.s been administered as
a department of France through a
resident governor and consul general. Three delegates, one to the
French seJJate, two t0 the house of
deputies, traveled the 7,500 miles to
Paris to represe-nt the island's in·
tercsts in the French parliament.
Their constituents are, for the most
part, Frenchmen, British, Indians,
Chinese, Africans, and natives o!
Madagascar. To Reunion, France haa
sometimes sent political exiles, notably Abd el Krim, famed Riff leader in 1926.

New Nurses' Uniforms
An entirely new wardrobe of uniforms and service clothing for the
army nurse corps has been designed
by clothing experts of the quartermaster corps, assisted by prominent
women's wear designers, the war
department announced. The traditional nurses' navy blue will now
give way to oli'\e drab in the street
and general service uniform. The
starched white uniform will be replaced for service in overseas theaters of operations by a brown and
white, pin-striped seersucker, with
the white uniform of the same design as the brown but of a poplin
material being retained for service
in the United States.

Flamingo Diet
A special diet, devised to prevent ,
red flamingos at the New York Zo- \
ological park in the Bronx from fading to a pale pink, is proving sue- 1
cessful not only for the red flamin- I
gos but also is starting to tinge the
normally white feathers of other ·
fiamingos a light red. The diet was
introduced in August after the zoo
acquired four bright red flamingos
from the Hialeah race track, in
Miami, Fla. Other red flamingos,
upon exposure to New York's environment, had always faded to a
light pink, barely distinguishable j
from white. Addition of special vitamins and oils to the mashed "game
food" and rice customarily fed
to the birds supplied the new diet.

Save Radio Batteries
Battery-run radios, including a
great many used on farms, should be
operated on the basis of obtaining
at the very most only a single
set of replacement batteries a year.
Pointing out that production of
farm radio batteries has been cut
due to restrictions on zinc and to
other factors, radio owners are
urged to follow simple conservation
rules for assuring maximum service
from their present supply. The rules
include: 1. Don't waste your batteries. 2. Avoid long, continuous radio operation. 3. Keep batteries
away from heat. 4. Have the tubes
checked regularly. 5. Disconnect
batteries from radio when not in operation.

Augusta Traver&amp;-you know, the
one who runs the little hat shop down
on Main Street-she's always been
dead set against gambling in any
form. Never will forget when I was
a kid and she found little Hammy,
her youngest nephew, playing marules for keeps out back of the shop.
Took it on herself to give him a whaling and point out the evils of gambling. She's a strict woman, Augusta,
real strict. Good as gold, of course.
But mighty set against the lighter
things of life.

She left the middle empty. Then she
brought out a placard she'd had

and this is what it said: "These are.
the Local Boys who have enlisted in
America's War-They are betting
that you are buying War Bonds and
Stamps-Hitler and the Japs are betting you aren't-Place your bets inside."
My wife couldn't wait to get hE:rself down there and inside Augusta's
shop to see what in the wide world
had happened to her, turning right
around about gambling like that.
You know my wife. She kind of likes
to talk .. She went right up to Augusta
and sa1d, "Augusta Travers, seems

Why, I never thought I'd see you running a gambling campaign in your

Plan Garden Carefully
Careful selection of the varieties
of vegetables for vict0ry gardens
this year is necessary if gardeners
are to harvest good crops. Richness
of the soil, amount of water available, amount of space, the length of
the frost-free season, and the amount
o! sun or shade should be considered
before seeds are bought or other
preparations made. Among the kinds
which need special care in selection
of varieties for early maturity are
bush and pole beans, sweet corn,
eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, canteloupe, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins
and similarly easily frosted vegetables.

Save Tax Dollars
For every five dollars of allowable
expenses that can be deducted from
gross farm income in making out a
federal income tax return, a farm
family saves about one dollar in the
amount of the total tax paid. Farm
families are willing to pay their just
taxes, just as are other citizens, but
they should not unknowingly pay
more than they are expected into the
federal coffers, experts point out.
American Tung Oil Increasing
While production of tung oil in
the United States has a long way to
go before it can approximate the
quantities imported from China in
pre-war years, nevertheless the estimated 1942 production in America
will approximate 10 million pounds,
or approximately 5 per cent of the
annual American
requirements

AMBASSADOR CLARENCE E.
GAUSS, starting toward bond\Yeary Washington from bomb-weary
Chungking for consultations, should
aU the
0 n W ay H ere With have
n e w s •w e
First-Hand Tale of need about
War-Weary China China on
the tip of
his tongue. Except for a couple of
turns in Paris and Australia, he has
served all his diplomatic career
there, and his career runs back to
1907.
Shanghai was his first post. He
was deputy consul, after a while
spent at stenography in the house
of representatives. Then he was
consul at Amoy, Tsinan, Mukden,
and finally counselor to the legation
at Peiping.
Washington was his birthplace and
he got back now and then, marrying a Los Angeles girl on one visit.
Maybe her preference turned him
to the Paris consulate. The Australian assignment came later. He was
our first minister there. But when
an ambassador to China was needed two years ago he packed up
and went back to his old stamping
ground.
He has been a quiet ambassador.
He has a lean, quiet look and a
shrewd one too, behind neat spectacles. When he smiles a dimple
that is practically a sinkhole appears
in his right cheek. This is because
he smiles so much more with the
right side of his sharp mouth. The
effect, though this description may
make it seem otherwise, isn't bad
at aU.

of foreign affairs considers Admiral Standley's brusque
speech, was born Scriabin. Molotoff
means hammer, plainly a better way
to call a man whn set out at 15 years
of age to break the old Imperial
government.
Molotoft''s official biography
says he was born the son of a
saop assistant. That was 53
years ago. By 1905 be was a
professed Marxist, and a year
later joined a bolshevik rroup.
Ten years later he was on the
Bolshevik Central Committee.
Meanwhile he and Stalin nad
met, and started their newspaper, Pravda, and 1\iolotoff had
been arrested or exiled thrice.
Botb Lenin and Stalin schooled
Molototl, and he likes to tell of
this.
He likes, too, to boast that he is
an old Bolshevist, an early bird
among the revolutionists. In Russia
he is called Stalin's chief aide. He
is, actually, vice premier as well as
commissar of foreign affairs but
when the Russians say chief aide,
they mean to point to his loyalty
to his superior. He is Stalin's Harry Hopkins.
·
Molotoff is heavy, but not fat. His
hair has grown gray, but his thick
mustache is still black. His mouth
is strong. confident. His wide fore·
head lops off a face more than ordinarily good lo:Jking.

Nutritious Dishes
Are you struggling with the problems of planning meals with rationing or depleted
stocks of food?
Do you get late
to market some
days and find you
can't find what
you wanted?
Then, today's
recipes and suggestions will be of
real help to youfor these times
are real problems for every homemaker.
Now that you are shopping not
only with a budget but also with
a point budget, you must plan carefully so as not to use all the precious points before your month is
up. Use as many unrationed fo_o ds
as possible, and budget those pomts
carefully which you have to use.
Never lose sight of nutrition qualities however, for your body must be
properly fed to do its work.
Lima beans, rich source of vegetable protein, thiamin and riboflavin
make an excellent meat extender.
With three eggs and careful seasoning, it will have an unmistak!tble
appeal-and plenty of hearty satisfaction :

Lynn Says:
The Score Card: When you plan
m eals these da ys , do it with ration book in h a nd. R em e mber,
you're spending not only money
but points and that requires extra keeping of accounts.
Plan meals in advance keeping in mind what you need and
what points you can use to best
advantage with it. Don't squander points . If, for example, you
have an eight-point coupon, and
need something valued at six
points , try not to use the eightpoint coupon except with anything which corresponds with it.
Since canned and p ackaged
goods will be a t a premium, pla n
those m enus car efully . Don't do
without fr uits a nd vegetables if
the coup:ms a r e used up-have

•Recipe Given
2 tablespoons chili sauce
% cup meat stock
One cup of dried lima beans
makes about 3 cups when cooked.
Soak them overnight in cold water,
then cook for 20 minutes, add salt
and cook 10 to 20 minutes more until tender. To puree lima beans,
put through a sieve.
Brown onion and green pepper in
butter. Blend all ingredients except stock together thoroughly. Pack
into a well-greased loaf tin. Bake
in a moderate oven (350 degrees)
for about 50 minutes. Baste frequently with stock.
An excellent tomato sauce to
serve with this loaf can be made
by sauteeing 2 tablespoons minced
~
onion and 2 tablespoons
chopped
celery in 2 tablespoons
butter.
Add to this 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon
whole cloves, 1h teaspoon salt and 1
can tomato soup. Simmer 10 min·
utes, strain, and serve with loaf.
Several times recently when I
have visited the butcher, he has offered me pork tender1oin. This is

prevents nervousness, restlessness,
listlessness and tiredness.

Questions raised in recent
weeks as to wh~ther America
shall have the army of 8,200,000
men which its military leadership has determined to be the
minimum with which we can
expect to defeat our enemies
have not, it seems to me, given
due consideration to military
necessity.
We are out to win this war.
The nation has entrusted the responsibility for this victory to its
military leaders. This leadership-the joint chiefs of staff of
the army and navy, after the
most careful analysis of our enemies' strength, has decidea that
we must build an armed force
of approximately 11,000,000,
which includes an army of 8,200,000 for 1943-44.
Our own men have been in
contact only with the smallest of
the Axis armies-a part of its
Tunisian force of less than a
quarter of a million men. But
the striking force of this powerful foe has already been felt by
our troops.
The German field armies are
assisted by more than one million men in semi-military organizations, such as the military police, engineers, and supply depots, which in our army are included among service troops.
Reliable sources indicate that the
combined number of those in the
G~rman and Italian armed forces
and those directly assisting them
runs well over 13 million. It is evident at this point' that the superiority of our enemies in the European
theater is of ominous proportions.
A similar analysis in the Pacific
area does not brighten the picture.
The Japanese army exceeds by
many divisions the forces that the
United Nations have been able to
equip and place in opposition.
Yet the United Nations, and particularly this country, have the potential power to overcome this numerical superiority. These potentialities must be converted to actuality. They must be harnessed and
driven toward a single goal, the defeat of our enemies. In that drive
our country, the latest of the major powers to enter the war, must
play the most important part.

war official says.
needed by our forces, by our Allies
and by our civilian economy. Full
account has also been taken of the
ability of our rapidly expanding
merchant marine to deliver soldiers
and supplies overseas. The conclusion reached was that it was a hard
job, but that it could and must be
done.
But there are critics of the army
program who ask, "Why should we
fight? Why not give more supplies
to the British, the Chinese and the
Russians and let them fight for us?"
The British, with the smallest
available manpower and subject to
savage aerial attacks, h ave come
nearer than any other of the United

for more arduous labor s and sacri·
fices on the home front.
Realism must extend fr om the fox·
holes and pill-boxes on the fir in g'
line to the factories a nd h omes o1
America. When our country is a t
war, none of us can escape the
responsibility of viewing the rou·
tine, as w ell as the emergency du·
t ies of life, in t he light of th eir
bearing upon t he final result- uncondit ional surrender by our enemies.
This nation has don e a magnificent job in production for war. But
t here is an even heavier task ahead.
We will h ave s er ious problems be·
cause of the inc reasing drain on
our manpower. But sim ilar problems have been s olved in Engla nd,
Russia, Germany and Japan. Nonessential activities are out for the
duration and these countries are
fully mobilized-to a much greater
extent than we. On every one rests
the equal obligation to give service
either in the armed forces or on th e
home front. Why should we suppose
that we can wage war successfully
without mobilizing our human resources with a thoroughness at least
approaching that of our enemies and
of our principal allies?

ROBERT P. PATTERSON
Undersecretary of war.

N ations to the full-time war employm e nt of eve ry man, woman and
child. The Chinese ha ve been heroically fighting for 5% years. The
Russians, by brilliant tactics and ,
with indomita ble cour a ge, have
killed more Nazis than all the other
United Nations combined. We should
give tribute to their dead, for they
have sacrificed cpuntless lives. But
their manpower is not inexhaustible.
}Ve're In the War, Too, and
It Will Be Won the Hard Way

This is our war just as much as
it is the war of the British, the Russians and the Chinese. We are sending supplies to the utmost of our
ability to these and the other United
Nations. We will eol'ltinue to do so.
But it will be our soldiers and sailors, and those of our Allies, that will
win the final victory.
Elemental truths are often the
most difficult to ~as]J. Throughout
all ages people have tried to avoid
facing up to the reality that war
is grim business; have lonfed for
an easy war; and have hoped that
somehow, some way, victory could
be gained without risking too much
or without experiencing the stark
unpleasantness of the conflict. But
all the wishing in the world does
not change the nature of war and
its impact on all peoples engaged in
it, whether in the battle lines or at
home.
The hour for r e alism has a rrived
for every American. We must brace
ourselves for mounti ng casualty lists
and reverses on the battle front, and

The needs of the armed force s
must come first. T he problem s of
turnover and abse nteeism must a nd
can be solved. Each of us must
work to the utmost of his capability.
We must a lso t ackle our farm labor problem with vigor . The re are
white colla r workers in non-essential industries who can go back to
t!ote fa rms from which t hey came.
There a re victory ga rden s to be encom·a ged. More work can be d one
by wom en. F a rm m ac hiner y can
be poole d. M any steps c an be ta ken to increase pr odu ct ion on the
farms.
We cannot solve our m anpowe r
problems by whit tling down the size
of our armed forces. The problem
must be tackled at its source. Every
one wants to do his or her share to
help win the war and must serve
where he or she can render the best
service. The decision cannot be
based upon personal desire.
With vast territories and r esources
at their disposal, the Axis cannot
be defea ted by a blockade. Victory
will come from decisive military action, backed by an armed force/ and
ability so overwhelmingly superior
that t he enemy 's further action will
be futile.
In World War I, it was our American Expeditionary force of 2,000,000
added to the strengtb of our Allies,
that made the enemy surrender. On
November 11, 1918, the Allies had
32 fresh divisions in reserve. The
Germans only had two. The Allies
had a total of 213 divisions. The
Germans had 185. The Germans
were aware of these figures. Their
ability to reason from figures is well
known. They decided that they could
not win, and they quit.
Now, as then, t he enemy must be
m a de to realize that t hey cannot
win. Now, a s th en, we must make
the m see tha t we are going to see
the job through.

Army Determines Size After
Careful Study of Ita Needs

Offensive action requires superiority in numbers. This is the reason
we need an army of 8,200,000 including officers by the end of t his year.
The navy, the marines and the coast
guard ne ed 2,600,000 this year. That
makes a total of 10,800,000 m en and
women that must be in the armed
forces by the end of this yea r. This
will be less than 8lf.! per cent of our
total population. Thir teen and a
half pe r cent of the German population is in the armed forces.
Ten million, eight hundred thousand is not a figure pulled out of a
hat. It is the requirement determined by those charged with the
heavy responsibility of winning this
war.
General Marshall says that we
need so many planes and so many
tanks to win the war. Is there anyone in America who would question
his judgment? Admiral King says
that we need so many e!(:ort ships
and destroyers to beat the Axis. Is
there anyone in America who would
question his judgment? The expert
views of our military leaders are accepted on our needs for guns and
ships. Why should anyone question
their judgment as to the number of
m en that they need to use these
weapons and man these ships?
The staffs of the army and the
navy under General Marshall and
Admiral King, in full poss ession of
the facts, have made the military
decision that a force this size is
necessary to win the war. Our Commander-in-Chief, the President of
the United States, has approved this
progra m . It is America's answer to
the Axis. The Axis, I assure you,
"ioes not like that answer.
In making this decision full aceount has been taken of the ability
of America"n industry and labor and
agriculture to produce the supplies

'World's Safest'
The U. S. army air forces pilots
have been pro:~ounced the "world's
safest'' by Col. Sam R. Harris of
Selfridge Field, Mich.
"I know that accidents will happen," declared Colonel Harris, "I
know, too, that the accident rate in
the army air forces of the United
States is far below that of any of
our allies or any of our enemies."
Colonel Harris brought out the fact
that on the basis of present rates,
775 out of 1,000 pilots will fly for an
entire year without an accident of
any kind. Out of the 225 who are
involved in accidents, said Colonel
Harris, fewer than 50 will receive
an injury of any kind.
"This is a good record of safety,
ipdecd it is a great record," Colonel
Harris said, "but it is not perfectand we will be satisfied with nothing
short of perfection."

Has Many Dwarf 'States'
When the war hits Russia's Caucasus, it will bring \nto the head
lines some strange dwarf nations
and pint-siz•! republics whose names
have been buried i.n footnotes for
years.
Abkhazia, Daghe~;tan, Nakichevan,
Chtcheno-Ir.gushia, and KabardinoBaJkaria are samnles of the autonomous slates that crowd the Caucasus area, left strqnded in high mountain valleys by ~orne change in the
tides of forgotte•1 history.
The mountainous Caucasus isth·
mus, washed on the west by the
Black sea and on the east by the
Caspian, covers an area slightly
smaller than that of Montana. Yet
ils 137,180 square miles contain 16
separate units anJ part of another,
all members of the Soviet Union
somewhat as the states are members of the Unlted States, accord·
ing to the National Geographic society.
North o! the Caucasus mountains'
snowy saw-toothed range, which includes Europe's highest peaks, lies
Russia proper- the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet republic, which
is by far the largest of the 11 principal Union republics of the USSR
On the south side of the Caucasus
mountain wall, comprising what is
known as Transcaucasia, are three
smaller union republics, which
share the green mountainsides and
hot lowlands stretching to Turkey's
frontier - Georgia, Armenia. and
Azerbaijan.

Do You Know How to Tell
When a Sardine Is One?
What is a sordin· ? Wh) i a sardine'? When is a mdine not o ..ardine?
Many \'arieties of fry, il'cludmg
undersized herring and m~.:.-thad&lt;&gt;n,
have been tinned in vcg tal&gt;! oil
and sold to satisfy sordin£&gt; nppetites. The true sardine, howe;\cr,
is not the dwarf !Ish it app ars to
be, but ts the young of the pilchard.
The pilchard, a mPmber of the great
herring family, is plentiful in the
waters of Europe's coast !rom the
English channel to Sa ·dima. and it
is from this Mediterranean island
that the sardme took its name.
The sardine canning mdustry of
France"s Brittany peninsula is nearly a century old. The 'lrcPII£&gt;nt reputation of the Brittany product is
due in part to the freshly pressed
oliYe oil of the region, jn y,h!ch Brittany sardines are cann •d.
In Amencan waters t'le pi!cl,ard
ranges in abundance off the Pacific
shor·e from Canada's Queen Charlotte islands to the Gulf of California. While Oregon and Washin ton
fishermen know it as the pilchard,
to Californians it is known almost
exclusively as the California sm·dine. Large commercial quantities
are landed at Monterey, Los Angeles, San Fr~nc1sco and San D1ego
in the main season, August through
Februaiy.

Bridge

Completion Aids

Through Railroad Service
Flow of fr ight between Me. 1co
11nd Guatemala has been slowed by
the gap in rail transportation. The
Mexican line came to a de~d entl in
the river town of Suchiatc. Tlw
river of the same name \\ ,1s both
boundary and barrier. On the
Guatemalan side is the town of Ayutla.
Through northbound freight had to
be unloaded on ox carL.; from cars of
the International railways of Central America, and then hauled a
mile to the river. There it was
transferred to small barrcs for the
river crossing. From the riv£&gt;r mo·
tor trucks hauled it to Suchiate for
shipment over the lines of ti1e National railways of M0xico. The ferries have a maximum cap&lt;city of
about a ton. Total daily tonnage
handled was 40 to 50.
Another hitch was the difference
in rail widths. To accommodate
both standard and narrow gauge
equipment, the new bridge there
now carries three rails.
The bridge completes the MeXICOGuatemala link of IlK Pan Am( rica
railway system which will supplement the Pan American h1ghway
cJOW under com truction.
l'ossible Corle Shorta~e
Cork is missin~ from table n1ab,
pin cushions, golf clubs, ch ;l&lt;:IH'n s
toys, and many other products in
which it has been used. The rcuson
is that our supply of cork (it is ull
imported from Portugal) may be
shut off.
Machine s from airplanes to
vac'..lum cleaners use cork somewhere in their constructwn. The
army and navy munitions board lists
cork as one of the major crittcal
materials. Cork gaskets a1 d washers are necessary to lfccp gren~P
and oil at work. It 1s used in aboul
5lJ different places in an automubile.
Although we have a reserve supply
and some impot ts still are coming
in, we do not have enough to meet
all our military needs and still tak&lt;'
care of "'vilian uses.

Clay Products Available
Although a major part of the output of the country's 800 brick and
tile plants will be utilized in construction of war housing and other
government projects during the next
six months, there will be ample clay
products for essential commercial
and farm bt i ' ling. Construction of
commercial and farm structures has
been sharply redu ced, but WPB has
been approving nu"!lerous requests
for necessary projc::ts which specify the use of masonry and other noncritical materials.

Air

Experts Overcome

Fatal Affects of Vibration
Tiny two-ounce electric ears, put
into service by the research staff of
the Glenn L. Martin company to run
down to its varioss lurking places
that most deadly of aerodynamic
mysteries- flutter. In more simple
terms, flutter is a vibration which
increases in intensity until such
parts as wing or tail surfaces break
off in the air.
It was already known what caused
flutter to appear. Take a wing for
example. A common cause of flutter in wings is the "getting together"
of the vibration of the wing itself
and that of some part attached to it
-say an aileron. Once the two vibrations get synchronized-and they
often did in the old days-the wing
is almost certain to come off in the
air with tragic suddenness.
The Martin-devised equipment
was set up to check the mathematically predicted vibration of the wing
and at the same time of the parts
connected with it, and record the
frequencies on graph paper. Vibration engineers studied these graphs
and predicted at what point the frequencies would harmonize- at what
speed the wing as designed would
part company with plane. If that
speed was well above any speed the
plane could possibly make, they
knew the wing was safe.

Yards rather than· miles were the
measure of Russian gains on the
Smolensk sector as the thaw-soddened central front was further
mired by heavy spring rains.
Further to the south, however, the
Red forces menaced the steadily
shrinking German bridgehead in the
Northwest Caucasus by the capture
of Anastasevskaya, 38 miles northwest of Novorossisk on the last highway link between Nazi forces north
and south of the Kuban river.
Elsewhere, fresh German tank assault&lt;&gt; against the Soviet line on the
Doncts river east of Kharkov were
rolled back by the stout Red defenders. In the north the Germans tacitly reported a retreat near Staraya
Russa, between Moscow and Leningrad, by admitting a "withdrawal
to prepared positions."

The toll of German prisoners has increased steadily as British and
American forces have driven in on Rommel's cornered Axis forces in
Tunisia. Typical of the multitude of captives is the above group of German prisoners taken in the British drive north of Gabes.

NORTH AFRICA:
Axis Hold Shrinks

FOOD SUBSIDY:
Urged to Aid Poor

Of key importance in heralding
the possibility of an earlier-than-expected finish of the Tunisian campaign were reports that the harbor
and shipping facilities of Gabes had
been left undamaged by the Axis
forces in their hasty retreat from
Gen. Montgomery's onslaughts.
With Gabes functioning as an Allied supply port, the long overland
haul of war materials from Tripoli
or Bengazi far down the African
coast in Libya could be avoided.
Moreover, Allied sea and air power
concentrated in Gabes could further
harass the Axis forces.
The all-over battle for North Africa was not yet won, but steadily
British armies from the north and
south and American armies from
the center were tightening the
squeeze on the remaining Axis
troops in Tunisia.
As Marshal Rommel's forces had
made their last desperate effort to
beat their way northward for a ju ction with Col. Gen. Von Arnim's
troops in the Bizerte area, reports
indicated that the Axis had flown
fresh troops into Tunisia. To relieve the pressure on Rommel, Von
Arnim's forces had staged a brief
counter - offensive against British
forces near Bizerte. Control of the
air over North Africa had appeared
to be turning overwhelmingly in the
Allies' favor, as raids shook the Axis
lines and turned Rommel's retreat
into a nightmare.
Meanwhile in answer to reports
that Germany had commandeered
the Italian fleet and all avail~le
French merchantmen preparatory to
an attempt to evacuate Halo-German armies from Tunisia in an Axis
"Dunkirk," the Allies staged an
unprecedented raid by 100 Flying
Fortresses that smashed the important Axis supply base at Cagliari,
Sardinia, damaging 26 merchant
ships and putting 71 enemy planes
out of commission. Simultaneously, waves of American Billy Mitchell bombers struck at an Axis convoy in the Sicilian narrows, sinking
at ll!ast three large ships and leaving others burning and settling.

Suggesting that the government
pay persons in low income groups
special allowances to enable them
to buy sufficient food, Roy F. Hendrickson, head of the Food Distribution administration, declared he believed that otherwise these people
would "find it tough to get food."
Emphasizing that his statements
were his own personal views, Hendrickson declared that the plan he
advocates would aid the farmer.
Declaring the problem had to be
"treated from both ends," he said
that the farmer had become discouraged because food costs have
gone so high while prices paid him
have not risen in proportion.
"We have got to see that the farmer is able to market his stuff," Hendrickson declared. Any volume of
income to the purchasing class is
bound to help the farmer."
In addition to the low income
groups, he suggested payments for
the aged, the blind and otherwis~
handicapped.

INVESTIGATION:
Of U. S.-Held Foods
Into a maze of charges and
countercharges that the government
itself had become No. 1 food hoarder, the senate's Truman investigating committee plunged in an effort
to obtain the facts.
Chairman Harry S. Truman announced that a two-way investigation was in progress. One phase
is to inquire into the amount of food
held by government agencies. The
other was to inv!!stigate the needs
of the armed forces. Information
from both government and private
sources had been obtained, he said.
Previously, members of the food
trade and others had charged that
t!le armed services are hoarding
processed foods and thus forcing less
than necessary civilian allowances
under rationing.
"Supplies of food for the armed
forces must be sufficiently great to
assure that there will be plenty of
food for our soldiers and sailors,"
Truman said. "However, care must
be taken to assure that the government does not itself become a
hoarder."

POSTWAR PLANS:
Poland Speaks Up
With postwar peace plans gammg
increased attention in Allied chancellories, the Polish government-inexile served notice that Poles would
resist "to the last man" any claims
from any quarter aimed at the
"sovereignty and integrity of Poland."
Spokesman for the Poles was
Prime Minister Wladyslaw Sikorski,
now a resident of London. Target
of the statesman's remarks was
Russia, since the Soviet government
recently announced its intention of
retaining the :J;&gt;olish Ukraine and the
area bordering on White Russia
which was ta~en from Poland under the German-Russi;m partition of
Poland in 1939.
But even as he stoutly proclaimed
his doctrines of independence, Sikorski recommended that an Allied air
force should go to the Russian front
after the fighting in Tunisia is concluded as an expression of United
Nations' solidarity. He predicted a
third German offensive by the German armies against Russia.

American bombs exploding on

MacArthur's fliers in New Guinea
centered their attacks on enemy supply and communication lines between Wewak and Madang and
strafed the entire Salamaua area.

HERBERT HOOVER

Taking stock of America's industrial power, Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
board, declared that "Today we are
turning out more goods for war than
we ever produced for our peacetime
needs, yet we have enough power
left over to keep civilian standards
of living at a high level."
Mr. Nelson predicted in an address
in Chicago that the United States
this year will turn out more than 80
billion dollars worth of goods for war
purposes. The WPB chief's 1943 estimate compares with 48 billion in
1942, the first year after Pearl Harbor, 17 billion in 1941 and four billion
in 1940, the year 'Germany smashed
her way across Europe.
The figures will get even bigger,
Mr. Nelson said, adding "as they
grow the armies and cities of the
Axis will feel an ever-fiercer flame,
a more terrifying blast from the
guns and bombs of America."
Eventual victory, he declared, already is being foreshadowed in the
"cold hard figures of production."

in the week's news

Two events pointed to the conclusion that the nation's synthetic rubber producing program was proceeding successfully.
One was the appearance of Rubber Director William M. Jeffers before a senate committee with a
heavy duty synthetic truck tire and
his statement that the artificial
elastic had been perfected "to the
point where it will very nearly meet
all requirements without mixing witb
natural rubber."
The other was the action of the
rubber division and the department
of agriculture in reducing the immediate planting of guayule, a rubber producing shrub from 53,000
acres to between 13,000 and 20,000
acres.
Jeffers warned, however, that the
rubber situation was still critical.

DRAFT:
Reaches War Plants
As the need for military manpower increased a nation-wide search of
war factories for men of draft age
who could be replaced by women or
older men was undertaken. So great
is the need, Selective Service officials revealed, that the canvass
of the war plants might result in
calling for military service thousands of men now classified 2A and
2B-men actually producing tools of
war or working in direct support of
the war effort.
State directors of Selective Service, conferring in Washington with
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft
director, surveyed the over-all operations covering inductions for the
future.
Not only would practices govern·
ing the drafting of fathers be clearly
defined, but under consideration
were measures in connection with a
compulsory labor draft, investigating of labor hoarding by war indus·
tries and the return to agricultural
work of farm workers who have en
tered industry.

Army Clarifies Policies
Regarding Farm labor
Military Units May Be Employed on Crops During 'Emergency Situations'; Individual
Furloughs Not Contemplated.
By BAUKHAGE
New.• Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
"Home on a furlough."
I wonder how many of my readers rem~mber that very popular
print of two (or maybe more) generations ago. Well, never mind if
you don't (though I would appreciate
a letter from any who do); "home
on a furlough" is going to mean
something quite different now.
I remember the original picture
only vaguely. I didn't know what
the word "furlough" meant. But I
know there was a tousle-headed
blond boy in the middle of an admiring farm family, telling his adventures.
Today, the farm boy with a conscience, and the farm family with a
farm, are looking forward to the
"furlough" that will bring the boy
home for work, not the telling of his
tales of adventure.
It isn't going to be quite that way.
The President, when the farm bloc
was riding the administration its
hardest last month, went into considerable detail as to what was to
be done to solve the farm labor
question. · Since then some concrete
steps have been taken but not the
ones the farmers, or some of them,
would have liked. They would have
liked their own sons, or their own
hands, who enlisted because they
simply couldn't stay "out of the
show," back doing the old chores
they used to do. But this is what
the army said:
"The army does not contemplate
furloughing individual soldiers to
work on farms," the war department
announced in a statement clarifying
policies and procedures by which
soldiers may be used to alleviate
the farm labor shortage.
"World War I experience demonstrated that such temporary releases of individual ooldiers were of
little assistance to the agriculture
industry and disrupted the organization ana training of the army. If
furloughs were granted for this purpose, neither agriculture nor the
army' could' be assured that the \soldiers thus furloughed actually would
be engaged in agricultural activities.
"Certain emergency situations
may develop in which vital crops
may be endangered because of critical shortages in local agricultural
labor. In such cases, military units
may be employed under command
of their own officers to supplement
the local farm labor until the crisis
ii over.
"Troops so employed will be
housed and fed by the army and will
be subject to military control at all
times.
"Requests for use of military units
for emergency farm duty must be
transmitted to the war department
by the chairman of the War Manpower commission."

Another Loophole
However, there is another loophole which all of the farmers or the
farm men in service may not know
about. A soldier over 38 years of
age who is on active duty in the
continental United States can get his
discharge right now if he can ge;t a
statement from his local farm agent
to the effect that he is needed.
But the application has to get in
by May 1. The same thing applies
to men overseas and they have untU
June. (Better tell them by V -Mail.)
The President explained to us
twice, why a batch of young men
couldn't be pulled out of a division
and sent home.
You can take 10 or 20 soldiers out
of an outfit that has just started
training and it doesn't make much
difference. But you can't take that
many men out of an outfit already
trained and booked for overseas. Not
witho_ut crippli?g the outfit so badly
that It really mterferes with battle
plans.
That's his explanation and he
made it t? us the other day, leaning
?ack m his chair and obviously trymg hard to get over an idf::a that
he believes is right.
There is going to be a "land
army." He said he didn't like the
term because it made the farmers
think they were going to have a lot
of green city folks descend on them
He knows what the farmers think
about folks who will scare the
horses, sprain their ankles try to
milk a cow and when she' doesn't
give, say: "The valves are stuck."

One farmer wrote me he'd rather
have grasshoppers than city folks on
his place.

England'• Method
The Pre:.ident said to us that in
England they have increased food
production 60 per cent. And they
did it with the help of a land army,
mostly women with no previous
training. They got the training. A
lot depends on the training.
I talked with a farmer near her~
who took on a city boy, green as
grass. The boy probably thought
shorts were something you wore
and probably would have looked in
the toolbox for a boar.
Maybe you heard him talk on the
Farm and Home Hour. Well, I met
him and the farmer, too. The kid
is crazy to get back this summer
and the farmer told me he was
sick when he !&lt;tad to let him go back
to school. City folks are dumb in a
lot of ways. But so are farmers.
It's true you can lead a horse to
water but you can't make him drink.
Also, a lot of horses have got the
sense to drink if you've got sense to
lead them to the water.
In spite of dumb help or none at
all, in spite of lack of machines
and a lot of red tape, the farmers
of the country have signed up to
raise a bigger crop than they've ever
raised. I believe with a little horse
sense and patience, they are going
to pull through.
No team pulled together until they
were in harness.
If they don't, God help us and the
army at meal time.

The WeatherA Dead Topic
As you know, mention of the
weather on the radio these days is
forbidden. The newspapers can describe a snow storm or a hot spell
but the radio commentators cannot.
There is a good reason for this.
A lurking submarine could pick up
a newscast, and if enough facts concerning the weather were revealed
by 'stations in enough widely sep- '
arated localities, even an amateur
meteorologist-and the Germans are
no amateurs-could make a pretty
good weather forecast by putting two
and two together.
But being unable to describe the
manifestations of nature that I see
on my way to work in the morning
is a terrible handicap to me. Recently I've gotten around the difficulty by talking about last week's
weather, and before going on the
air, reading what I was going to
say to the censorship officials and
getting their 0. K. In no case did
they restrict me. The other day,
however, I forgot to call up the Censorship office but the Blue Network
didn't forget. I got this message:
"Censorship says you have to cut
out all references to weather from
now on. They say that there was
nothing actually censorable in what
you have said or what you have
written today but so many complaints have come in from other
stations that you were violating
the regulations, and so many other
stations have been using your comments on the weather as an excuse
for violating the rule, that we will
have to ask you to stop discussing
the subject entireiy."
The following is what censorship
didn't let me say but what it has no
objection to my printing:
"It was pretty hard the past week
not to mention the swiftly changi.rig
scene which nature provided Washingtonians-one day, not so long ago
a top coat was far too heavy for
comfort and in the park, the dark
patches were beginning to be studded
with jeweled buds and the sunlight
seemed to turn into solid gold on the
bursting forsythia. On that balmy
day I remarked-'Well, we must be
due for a blizzard.'
'
"Twenty-four hours later the fine
snow began to fall and late that afternoon and the following morning
the tree limbs and trunks wer;
wrapped in great soft blankets of
down-even the high branches were
wide bands of white-but when we
went home from work in the evening, the streets were dry and clean
again and only here and there in
the shadow of a hedge· or in the
sheltering cups of the brown ivy
leaves was a dust of snow-like
a meager spri.nkling of precious
sugar on the rim of a doughnut.."

TIJE STORY SO FAR: Robin Dale, a
young artist, goes to Moose Bay to see
her fiance, Will McPhail. But on the way
5he meets hll brother, Angus, and she
reaUzes that she must not come between
l.be two men. So when l.be Wblte Queen
docks, sbe stays on board. But Will,
operating a crane, Is attracted by the
slgbt of a girl on tbe deck. He loses bls
balance and Is ktlled. Learning lbat
Angus blames her, Robin (oes to his boat
to walt for him and falls asleep. When
she awakes she ftods that the boat has
sailed, carrylnc her toward Labrador as
a stowaway. Also aboard are Angus,
Pat Donohoe and a French-speakln(
cabin boy named Romeo. Robin Is ask·
log blm the time.

CHAPTER VIU
"Qu~:~le heure est-il?"

With a flash of smiling teeth
Romeo answered at the same hme
pointing to an alarm clock hanging
on a nail against the forward bulkhead. Twenty minutes past two.
She calculated swiftly-twelve plus
two and a half, plus, say five and a
half-that they must be eighteen
hours out of Moose Bay. Maybe
'200 miles? Romeo was saying something and pointing. The galley
opened into the narrow triangular
forecastle with two bunks and a litter of stores and gear; and a steel
ladder led up through an open hatch
to t~e deck. She thought Romeo was
telhng her to go up on the bow deck,
and she stepped into the forecastle;
but then she saw that the pilothouse
was accessible by a set of steel
rungs against the bulkhead on the
starboard side. She looked up into
Pat Donohoe's scarred and battered
countenance. He was looking down
at her between his knees, tne toes
of his boots not six inches from her
nose as she stood below him. He
and Angus were together there, and
Pat moved his great bulk out of her
way to let her climb up to join them,
then slid past her and down into
the forecastle to give her room
enough. Angus McPhail, at the
wheel, looked at her with those eyes
which so curiously always seemed
gray though they were really blue,
and she sat down beside him; said,
"Good afternoon."
"Sleep all right?" he asked quietly.
"I didn't know anything till-Romeo, is it-waked me. Did you?
You seem rested."

surely too far away to have seen
Robin; she was too well hidden behind Mr. McPhail and in the shadows of the pilothouse to be seen. Yet
Mr. Jenkins not only lifted his hand;
he raised his hat!
Ang~o~s McPhail looked at her
sharply, as though expecting to
catch her in the act of returning
that salutation. "Did he know you
were aboard here?" he demanded.
"I don't see how he could."
"He may have seen you come
aboard last night."
"I'm sure he didn't."
Angus stared at the other boat
which drew rapidly away ahead of
them. He leaned sidewise to look
down into the forecastle. "Pat?" he
called.
"Aye, sorr!"
"Where are you? Where's Romeo?"
"Aft. Will I call him, sorr?"
"No, no matter. You come take
her, Pat."
Pat Donohoe climbed into the pilot-house; he went around behind
the high seat to McPhail's other
side. McPhail asked him a question.
"Pat, how did you know I'd be on
the White Queen?"
"Sure, sorr, Will told me."
"Of course that's so " Angus assented disar:ningly. ,:So you met
me?"

''Some.''

She remembered the narrow
bench in the cabin that m\..st have
been his bed, spoke of it. "I'm
afraid you were uncomfortable."
"No, I didn't sleep there. I came
into the fo'c's'le. One or the other
of the men had the wheel all night,
so there was an extra bunk. I got up
at Salmon River. We tagged a dozen or fifteen fish."
"Oh! Did we stop? Why didn't
you put me off?"
"I'll take you on to Beaver River.
We'll get there late tonight or early
tomorrow. A steamer stops there
tomorrow night. You'll be in plenty
of time to catch it."
She looked at him, thinking he
was himself again, remote, controlled, quiet and steady as a rock.
But she had gone to sleep last night
with a question in her mind. She
said:
"Mr. McPhail-forgive me-may
I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Did-your brother expect you on
the White Queen?"
Something quickened in his eyes;
moved and then was still.
"Yes," he said, after a moment.
She guessed that this question had
occurred to him before, had been
forgotten till just now.
"But then," she urged, "why
didn't he meet you, or call to you
when you landed, or something? Instead of letting you gb oii to shore?"
It was some time before Angus
answered . When he did, he seemed
to think aloud.
"I wasn't sure the White Queen
would stop at Rimouski," he said.
''I wrote him I'd catch her if I
could, but that otherwise I might
have to come by plane. I said I'd
let him know; but I forgot to write
him again, or wire him or anything.
So he didn't know surely I'd be on
her."
"Oh!" For a while she did not
speak, nor did he; but she was not
satisfied.
Then she remembered Pat Donohoe, and she had a dozen questions
instantly.
"Didn't your boatman, Mr. Donohoe, know where your brother was?
He met you at the boat. He knew
you were coming, Mr. McPhail. He
must have known your brot!'!er was
right there on the wharf, mustn't
he?"
McPhail's head swung sharply
away from her. She thought at first
he had turned away to avoid her
eyes; but he said in a soft surprise, "Hullo!"
She leaned forward to look past
him through the small side window
to see what had caught his atten:
lion. A gray motor cruiser like a
submarine chaser drew smoothly
abreast of them, traveling three feet
to their two. Robin recognized it;
and as It .hauled ahead of them,
she recogmzed the man on deck
even at th:s conside rable distance'
as Mr. Jenkins. She said, unneces:
sarily:
"Why, it's Mr. Jenkins!"
Angus did not speak. Mr. Jenkins
li.fted a hand in greeting. He was

the next; they worked him so. He'd
be at this job and that, faster than
a man could wink."
"Queer he didn't see me land?"
"He'd be paying attention to his
job. Eh, he was such a hand to
work you've no idea, sorr. Never
another thing in the mind of him
but the job he was at, ever, to be
sure."
Angus McPhail said sternly: "Pat,
if you E!ver lied to me, I'd break
you in nine pieces, big as you are."
Pat chuckled. "Sure, sorr, you'd
be welcome to. But if I ever did,
it'd be a lie that had to be told,
sorr. Maybe about something that
was best forgot. Well you know
that's true."
Robin watched Mr. Jenkins' boat
drawing away, ahead of them, and
she thought there was sometimes
between two men a thing no wornan could ever understand, strange
and deep and beautiful. Angus MePhail said now:
"Pat, you're a lying Irish blackguard! If a Scotchman hadn't invented the wheelbarrow, you'd never have learned to walk on your
hind legs."
Pat chuckled. "If 'twas a Scotchman did that, it was so he could get
two men's work out of one Irishman,
be sure, sorr. Shall I take her
now?"
Angus nodded. He spoke to Robin. "We'll go aft."
Romeo was busy in the galley;
and he smiled at her a s she passed
and she at him. In the cabin, Angus
shut the galley door, and he said:
"Pat will not tell the truth till he's
ready. No use pressing h1m. You
notice he evaded answering." He
sat down wearily. "Will was probably drunk," he decided. "I should
have guessed that. I can s ee now
that Pat tried to keep us apart till
Will had time to sober ofi. The
boy was a wild, reckless fool, wh en
he'd had a drink or two. I s uppose
he insisted on handling the crane,
and someone let him."
She thought of Will McPhail
asleep on a bench in the Public Gar·
dens with a roll of newspaper like a
lily in h1s hands; of Will, after
champagne, forgetting where he
jli\·ed; of Will on the marrowbones
of repentance outside her door, with

sackcloth and ashes on his back.
Will had been fun; but he seemed
now infinitely remote, as though he
had never lived. After all, the dead
are the lucky ones. It is the living
who grieve, who must go on living.
People like Angus here. She said:
"Pat loves you, doesn't he?"
"Pat? We've knocked around together quite a lot." He said reluctantly: "Miss Dale, if Will was
drunk, that's the answer. Not anything you did. No drunken man can
handle a ticklish job like that. I've
been half-crazy these three days. At
least I know-well, I'm sorry I
blamed you."
"It's all right."
"Even if he'd been sober-! suppose it's never fair to blame a woman for being beautiful and wanting
to have it noticed. You might as
well blame a kitten that chases its
tail." He looked at her honestly.
"I'm sane enough today. Talk never mended a broken plate; but-I'm
sorry to have spoken wrongly to
you."
"I'm glad you're sorry, and glad
you told me so." She hesitated, then
on sudden decision she said: "I
think I'll ten you something, Mr.
McPhail." He looked at her and she
said carefully: "When your brother
saw me, he didn't just see a pretty
girl in a bathing suit." Her voice
was grave. "He recognized me, Mr.
McPhail.''
He stared at her. "You knew
Will?"
She told the truth then, in a dozen
sentences. While sho spoke he
watched her keenly, thinking how
young she was, remembering Will's
words. "Oh, baby, wait for papa!"
She was wrong, of course. Will had
not known her. But if she was happier in thinking that he had . .
She finished and he asked with a
curious gentleness:
"You came to Moose Bay to see
him?"
"Yes. I meant to surprise him."
"I see. But-when I told you
about this trip he and I had planned,
you decided to stay on the White
Queen so Will and I could have our
trip together?"
There was no need of any answer.
She made none. He turned toward
the after companionway. "We're
coming in to LaLogue River," he
said, in an abstracted tone. "I'll get
the gear ready. You might be interested to see how we tag the
salmon."
When they came on deck, it was
she who saw the plane, flying very
high, a mile or two behind them, at
times half hidden in the lower
masses of the clouds. She pointed
it c.ut to him.
"It's a Government ship," Angus
decided, and watched it curiously.
"Hullo, look, it's circling!"
The plane seemed in fact to hover in one place, like a fishhawk
watching a flounder in the shallows.
It circled, it drew figures of eight;
it loitered in the skies. Yet it was
overhauling them. By the time they
drew in toward the shore a mile or
two short of the river mouth, the
plane had passed on beyond the river, still flying in that strangely dilatory fashion. They anchored, and
at their signal a fisherman on shore
put off in his boat and rowed toward them. Before he reached the
cruiser, the sound of the plane's
motor had receded as it moved slowly eastward.
Mr. Jenkins and his boat were already out of sight, three or four
miles ahead of the plane.
That business of tagging the sal·
mon did interest Robin. Having
one.: or twice fished with her fa·
ther, she had thought of the men
who netted salmon as butchers, sou:less and depraved, killing beautiful
fish by the scores. But the man
who rowed them now did not look
the villain. His name was Dubois;
and he had the stocky shoulders and
the lean hips and the sturdy legs
of his breed, with a pleasant eye, a
.firm jaw, an easy slow way of
speaking.
Dubois, in the bow, said over his
shoulder: "Here's a live one for
you!" Robin stood up to look; and
she saw the net floats were being
tugged to and fro by some disturbance in the net below. A moment
later, Dubois lifted into the boat a
snarl of net.
They took from that net a dozen
dead salmon and three live ones
which Angus tagged and released.
There were eight nets alongshore at
LaLogue, four to the west of the
river mouth and four to the east of
it, spaced a half-mile or so apart.
Angus and Pat worked them; but
after the first, Robin stayed aboard
with Romeo. He was amused at
her efforts to talk French; and his j
flattering glances were eloquent
enough of the satisfaction he found
in her company . When Angus came
aboard, after the second net, he
said:
''See here, Romeo's prancing like
a goat! i wouldn't be too friendly
with hi!'1, Miss Dale ."
"He 's teaching me French," she
e xplained. "I can already understand some of the thmgs he says,
1£ he talks very slowly."
Angus said thoughtfully : "I think ,
th e re are a Jot of thin gs you don't
understand at all." He added, as
though this cons ideration rea ssured
him : "But we'll be at Beaver Rive,before daylight."

This easily prepared gelatin dessert uses all unrationed food. It's
pretty but easy to make, and will
top off either a light or heavy meal.
These are times when ch::.nges
are the fashion-and that particularly applies to
changes in foods
and cooking methods. Mrs. America can no longer
dash to the grocer's
and
get
enough canned or
processed foods
to put together a quick meal. Nor
can she get together a meal, even
one that would take time, with those
rationed foods.
Points must be budgeted far more
carefully than dollars and cents in
the past! That is the realization every homemaker has been feeling
since Ration Book II went into effect. Out of that has arisen one
tnaxim : never to buy a canned or
processed food if a fresh one is
available.
Confusion, indecision, anrl slowness in buying were the adjectives
grocers used when buying with War
Ration Book II began. But this is
gradually wearing away as Mrs.
America learns new shopping methods.
Since point values change monthly, it's a good idea to keep a list of
point values on hand when making
the menu. Plan menus for a week
at tt time-marketing lists and bndget lists all on hand when you're no.ng this important bit of work. Don't
go to the store and wander aimlessly, selecting whatever appeals
to the eye. Even if you have four
or five ration l::,ooks from which to
spend, it's certain you won't get
enough out of them by the hit or
miss method.
Keep 0:1 the lookout for point values which may change-they vary
from month to month am~ sometimes
change during the month as the public's buying habits are watched.
Haphazard shopping, meal-planning, and carelessness about the
health of the family are out o~
date. The homemaker must be
alert and vigilant
now as never before to make of
her family the
strongest a n d
healthiest possible unit-for a healthy America is a
strong America.
Lamb is fairly easily obtainable
meat and second to pork, richest
source tJf thiamin-our morale vitamin. Very little, if any, lamb is
being sent to the armed forces and
Allies, and that means it is for civilian use.
Baked Lamb Loaf.
(Serves 8 to 10)

2 teaspoons salt
% teaspoon pepper
Soak crumbs and mix well with
meat and other ingredients. Pack
into a loaf pan. Bake in a 300 degree oven for llh hours. This may
also be baked in a ring mold and
served with parsleyed potatoes.
Fish will come into more popularity to help extend our main dishes
when ration points will not cover
that major item:
Fish Loaf.
(Serves 6)
2 cups cooked, flaked fish (leftover
may be used)
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tables~ooos butter or margarine
1 cup fine, soft bread erumbs
Yz teaspoon salt
~ teasyoon pepper
2 eggs, separate(]
% cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Shred the fish. Saute green pepper and onion in butter, add to fish
with bread crumbs and seasonings.
Beat egg yolks, add milk and then
add to fish mixture. Stir in lemon
juice. Fold in stiffly beaten egg
whites. Poured into a greased loaf
pan, set in a pan of not water.
Bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.
Serve with white sauce to which
hard-cooked eggs have been added.
As the days become warmer we
will gradually begin adding salads
for our main

save on pointage.
Here is a splendid suggestion,

Cut a half-inch slice irom round·
ed end of egg. Cut a saw tooth edge
around white, if desired. Remove
yolk carefully. Press yolks and bits
of leftover whites through sieve,
add remaining ingredients and beat
until light and fluffy. Refill shells,
using pastry tube for decorating top,
if desired.
Boil macaroni in salted water according to directions on package.
Drain, rinse, then drain thoroughly.
Marinate with a little french dressing, then chill.

Anli-N ••i"e Regulations
Methods of enforcing municipal
anti-noic;e ordinzncc·s vary considerably from city to dty, though they
are limited in moft communities to
police wamings and nominal fines.
Edu(·&lt;.tion•l camp1i"'ns have been
succes.Jful in many c1hcs in securing
co-operation of the pulJlic in observing anti-nm&lt;e 'Jrdinances. In a few
ci1.ics, Jail sc n•t'ncPs ha\'e been imposed, however. Fines imposed by
n any ordinances, also, range up to
$500. More than 50 per cent of the
nation's lurr r citi£&gt;s ha\'e anti-noise
mdinanc~.;s. In add tion, man:y cities
ha\ e tr t1fik, nuisc.ncc and other orclinan 't s dosiJ:~:1-::d to regulate ·noise
to some extent.

The scope of opportunities for
women in chemistry is almost unlimited, Dr. Helen I. Miner of Wayne
university declares. Surveying the
Detroit area, Dr. Miner finds that,
while three years ago the majority
of women chemists were engaged in
t eaching or medical research, today
a larger proportion is represented in
the fields of industry and medicine
and the number is limited by the
supply rather than the demand.
"Conclusion of the war will not
contract this extended horizon for
women chemists," Dr. Miner asserts. "In the reconstruction period
which must follow there still will be
acute needs for trained Americans
of both sexes and of varied racial
backgrounds to go' abroad to arsi~t
in the multitude of probl"tnS-ntltrttional, m edical, agricultural, and mdustrial-which must l.Je solved in
winning the peace."
World War I provided the inili'!
stimulus for the first large scole pL.rticipation in scientific endca vor l,y
women, Dr. Miner points out. "lo
1918 the number of women cht•m·
ists in the American Chemicill society more than tripled th e !!Jl4 figure and enrollments in medical and
scientific courses in the universitiLS
throughout this country v.. ere greatly increased."

commenced his exlleriments in the
utilization of the explosive powers
of nitroglycerine. For that reason
the soap industry, 1enerally thought
to be remote froB!l the direct war
effort, ftnds itsel1 shouldered with
the retapon:5ibilicy rA. producing suftl.cient glycerine to meet the great
demands for high explosives by the
armed aervices, bd\h of this country
and the United Natlona, and the mining industry.
Glycerine, always important because of its mat)y uses in industry,
medicine, and the arts, is a vital
product today because it is an essential ingredient of the high explosives demanded by war. The de·
mand for glycerine is constant and
urgent-for explosives such as dynamite, for propellants such as cordite, and for hundreds of other purposes contributing to the welfare of
the United States and her Allies.
When the war machines start rolling, glycerine is indispensable.
It is indispensable f:rom the beginning of the fight to the end. The
defense worker uses it in production;
the soldier needs it for battle; the
wounded man is grateful for it in
the field hospital. Tanks, ships and
planes last longer because of glycerine.

American boys are dying to defend
our cities and towns from destruction and invasion will face a rising
demand from all classes of patriotic
citizens to come out and fight.
MJllions of workers who now are
buying War Bonds regularly out of
current income must lend extra
money to their government during
the Second War Loan campaign
(which started April 12).
· In recognition of the spirit of sacrifice which is sweeping over the
land as our troops swing into offensive action in Africa and await
the signal for a landing in Europe,
the Treasury Department is offering
a series of government bonds to fit
every pocketbook.
No matter whether Americans buy
the familiar Series E Bonds or 2 ~!!
per cent bonds or 2 per cent bonds
or ~ax certificates, they will be doing
their pa~t to make the Second War
Loan dnve a success.

Next Decade to See Changes in Air Travel
That Seem Fantastic to All but Aviators
But Most of Us \.rVi11 Live
To Learn Every Prophecy
Has Come True!
By EUIO SCOTT WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

high school
CALIFORNIA
youngsters will spend two

weeks' study- vacations in a
China reached after a fast hop
in a plane or a huge dirigible.
The graduating classes of Hudson's Bay Eskimo elementary
schools will fly to New York or
Chicago for supervised studyvisits.
Half-naked natives from the
fgrests of Malay will fly to universities in California or Australia and fly back to the native
villages as agronomists and
physicists.
"Impossible!" you say- or
perhaps only: "Not likely!"

As a matter of fact, it's not only
possible but it's entirely probable.
Y eu can take the word of a man
who knows!
He is Harry Bruno, who grew up
with American aviation and with its
early heroes. If any man is qualified to forecast what's ahead in an
America that has always pioneered
in flight and that will probably be
eYeo more dependent on air travel
ha tbe future than it has in the past,
he is that man.
5lo when he makes such prophecies as those given at the beginning
et this article, don't just laugh them
etr. Instead, read these words of his:
"All this-and more-can be accomplished with the planes and airships
that exist today. But the world of
to001orrow will fly greater, faster,
mlll'e economical flying machines
and airships than now exist."
You'll find those words in a new
book, "Wings Over America- The
Inside Story of American Aviation,"
written by Harry Bruno and published by Robert M. McBridge and
Company of New York. It's not
goly an interesting book because it's
the "inside story" told by a man
who, as one of the six original "Quiet
Birdmen" and as today's foremost
aviation publicist, has first-hand
lmowledge of every memorable and
spectacular event in the development of America's aerial power. It's
also an important book-important
right now when America is engaged
in a life-and-death struggle. For, as
Maj. Alexander P. de Seversky, who
wrote the introduction to Mr.
Bruno's book, says:
"The United Nations will win this
war through superior science, or
they will not win it at all. We must
cut loose from the past and embark
upon audacious new strategies, with
air power as their core. We must
wtilize our superior technological setliP to spring intellectual surprises,
in machines and strategic innovatiQns, on the enemy. And thus it
will be that the dreamers, the pioneers of yesterday's aviation will become the realists and leaders of today and tomorrow. The dynamics
of air power are so intensive that
we must plan for tomorrow if we
want to be on time today. Fortunately America has the leadership
to achieve this. Hany Bruno tells
us; where and why."
Such being the case, let's "cut
loose from the past" (so far as our
ideas of the limitations of air travel
are concerned) and "embark upon
audacious new" voyages into the
f11ture with Mr. Bruno. You can do
that by reading the last chapter in
his book-"The Next Ten Years."
Always Look Forward.
At the outset of that chapter he
says: "The gods of aviation have
one rule which all must obey: always look forward." . Then he admonishes us to "Look ten years
ahead to a post-war world in which
the defeated Axis gangs are a thing
of the past, and you see one of the
most powerful reasons for each and
eYery one of us to buckle down and
do our utmost to guarantee this
victory. Thanks to aviation, this is
one of the most glorious ages in
world history."
Besides his predictions about the
California high school youngsters,
the Eskimo school children and the
half-naked natives from the forests
gf Malay, Mr. Bruno foresees also
the day when:
"Shepherds will fly from the crags
of Tibet to universities in Vladivostok and fly back to their native villages as doctors.
"Plane loads of professors will
take off from Madrid to train South
American Indians in new universities established near new airfields
io Colombia, in Venezuela, in Peru.
"The whole world will become the
oyster of any American with a two

make a most enlightening vacation in Norway or India a reality
for the Detroit mechanic or the Boston librarian."
Planes of the Future.
How will they be able to do all
Uris? Here is the answer in Mr.
Bruno's words:
"The big planes of the next decade
will glide through the stratosphere
at speeds of 600 miles an hour and
more. They will enable a man to
breakfast in New York and have
dinner in Paris on the same day.
Citizens of Detroit and Denver will
be able to do exactly the same, even
though their planes will fly nonstop from their home towns to Europe and South America.
"Their planes will not be patterned
after the huge flying boats that now
cross the oceans. The new planes·
of 1952 will be huge stratosphere
land planes, whose sealed, oxygenequipped cabins will carry more
than 200 passengers in all the luxury
and comfort travelers enjoyed on
luxury steamships like the Queen
Mary and the Normandie. They will
be powered by banks of gasoline-

PROPHET - Barry Bruno, who
"grew up" with American aviation,
makes some startling-hut "too conservative," so say his friends-predictions about air travel during the
next ten years.
burning engines of 5,000 horsepower
each. But the use of gasoline, in
aviation, will some day be as obsolete as the era of steam in automobiles. Electric engines of 10,000
horsepower, receiving their impulses
through rays transmitted from
ground stations will supplant gasoline engines within two decades of
the end of the war.
"Passengers with more time, out
for a more economical ocean crossing, will ride in the comfortable
helium-filled dirigibles of the new
world. These giant cargo and passenger airships will cross the Atlantic in about 36 hours, carrying fast
freight and about twice as many
passengers as the fast planes."
If you decided to sell your automobile because of the inconvenience
of gas rationing and wait until after
the war to get a new one, don't
count too much on becoming a
"motorist" again. For, according
to Mr. Bruno, automobiles "will
start to decline almost as soon as
the last shot is fired in World War
II. The name of Igor Sikorsky will
be as well known as Henry Ford's,
for his helicopter will all but replace the horseless carriage as the
new means of transportation. Instead of a car in every garage, there
will be a helicopter."
Why? Well, these marvelous machines can do everything an automobile can do, do it better and besides take you up in the air, far
from the gasoline fumes of the
crowded highways. Look at this picture of a Sunday afternoon pleasure
"drive," as Mr. Bruno paints it:
"The family will take off in its
heliccpter from the backyard or the
roof hangar, climb straight to the

level authorized by government regulation, fly on to their destination,
and land on earth, on a roof top, or
on water-as fancy dictates. Instead of wheels, the craft is mounted
on rubber floats-inasmuch as it
rises and descends like an elevator
anywhere, wheels are not needed.
These 'copters will be so safe and
wil! cost so little to produce that
small models will be made for 'teenage youngsters. These tiny 'copters,
when sghool lets out, will fill the
skies as the bicycles of our youth
filled the pre-war roads."
But 'copters aren't the only machiAes that your children and their
children will be driving. For, says
Mr. Bruno, "the great sport of our
youth will be motorless flight. Glider
meets will be held all over the country, much like the sailing meets of
other years."
However, the glider won't be a
machine for "pleasure driving"
only. It will become an important
economic factor in the transportation of the future. "Powerful cargocarrying sky trucks will tow trains
of cargo carrying gliders-since all
but the bulkiest slow freight will be
carried by airplane or glider-towing,
cargo-carrying dirigibles. The glider
will also become the great transportation medium of commuting."
Trains of Gliders.
Which means that when you decide to visit Aunt Emma back in
Syracuse or Cousin Will out in Oregon, here's how you'll go:
"Glider trains, towed by a lead
passenger-carrying plane that will
fly hundreds of miles, will drop gliders carrying local passengers at airports all along the route. Thus, a
trip from New York to Albany, for
instance, would be made in a glider
attached to the New York-Buffalo
sky train. Passengers would board
the train at the overhead station of
Rockefeller Center. The sky-train,
which started from LaGuardia Field,
would pick up the Albany glider at
Rockefeller Center (and pick it up
in flight, too) and continue on
toward Buffalo. Over Albany, the
conductor-pilot of the Albany glider
will cut his craft loose from the
train and glide to earth. By the
time the lead plane reaches Buffalo,
he will have dropped all of his gliders along the route."
"But all of these machines can
still fall down and kill people-no,
sir, I'll stick to good old Mother
Earth!" you say. The av.iation of
the future will become increasingly
safer, Mr. Bruno believes.
He
writes: "All aircraft will have television weather survey sets, enabling
them to see and hear weather conditions along the routes that lie
ahead. In this manner, they will be
able to fly above or around storm
areas and add to the comfort of
each flight.
"All airplane factories will be entirely underground, air-conditioned
and deep enough so that no aerial
bomb can ever hurt them. Airports
will also go underground and what
will appear to be an empty field will
suddenly become active when a
plane lands on it. A quick taxi to a
designed spot, and down will go the
underground hangar as the surface
sinks under the operation of a large
elevator. An international police
force, armed with the newest type
of air weapon, will have no trouble
maintaining order and understanding."
Such is Mr. Bruno's preview of
"things to come." Do you find them
hard to believe? Then reflect upon
these final words:
"These predictions are a lot more
conservative than the flat prediction,
in 1900, that before the century was
over man would build a machine
that would really fly. If anything,
most of my friends-men like Igor
Sikorsky and C. M. Keys, who read
this chapter, for instance-mark the
predictions down as being too earthbound, too conservative. And this
should tell you that most of you will
live to see them all come true I"

Aviation Pioneers Made Possible Heroic War Exploits of Today
America will never forget the
courage and heroism of such World
War II heroes as Capt. Colin Kelly
Jr., Lieut. Edward H. O'Hare, Gen.
Claire Chennault and Gen. James
H. Doolittle, who wrote their epics
in the air and signed them with their
honor. Let us not forget, however,

been obscured. Here is a partial
list of the roll of honor: Calbraith

across the continent in 1911 and one

unassuming, little known flying
genius who for 20 years was one
of our ace test pilots; Lincoln
Beachy, a great exhibition pilot who

made tests that saved thousands of
lives; Vernon Castle, a brilliant wartime aviator who is remembered (if
at all) as a dancer; Roscoe Turner,
a speed d emon with a useful purpose; Clifford Henderson, the Barnum of aviation, who did more than
any aviator except Lindbergh to attract American attention to flying.

REPAIRING STUCCO HOMES

0

•

NE of my correspondents reports the buckling of stucco on
his 20-year-old house, and the deterioration of its surface. Another
is planning the purchase of a house
an which the stucco has cracked,
and in some places fallen. Both of
them ask for suggestions on repair.
Twenty years or so ago, wide use
was made of a stucco in which the
principal ingredient was a cementlike material called magnesite. As
time has gone on, it has been found
that this deteriorated, with a corrosive effect on metal lath. For this
reason magnesite is no longer used
for stucco, and when it has begun
to go bad, the only repair that is
practical and permanent is to strip
it off and to replace it with portland
cement stucco. No surface application can check the corrosion that is
going on underneath. Replacement
usually includes the providing of
new metal lath. With the old stucco taken off, it is sometimes possible to replace it with wood siding
over heavy roofing felt. One of my
correspondents is considering this,
but my choice would be new stucco
Princess House Frock
on new metal lath over heavy building felt. This, in my opinion, would
IKE looking neat, pretty and
make the house more air-tight, and
efficient? Just button into this
there would be greater appeal when princess house frock and presto

Water Spots on CeiUngs
Question: Four years ago we had
a new asphalt roof put over a shingled roof. We now discover that
after a rainfall water spots of various sizes appear on the ceilings in
every room. Could you suggest a
remedy? Also, would it ruin the
ceiling?
Answer: Condensation may be
your problem. Thorough ventilation
may be the solution; particularly in
the attic. If there are no windows
in the attic, by all means have them
installed. If the ceilings are painted with an oil paint the plaster will
not be affected by the dampness on
the surface. I am, of course, taking for granted that there is no
leakage through the outside walls,

Question: Our house now is 13
months old. We painted the basement floor a green color. After the
second coat was on it began to turn
yellow in large spots. We washed
some of the paint off by scrubbing.
Can you tell us how we can get a
good finish on this floor?
Answer: For best results, take off
all the paint with a hot solution of
three pounds of washing soda to
each gallon of water. After removing the paint, rinse well with clear
water and allow to dry. You then
can finish the floor with a good quality synthetic resin floor paint. Since
there always is the possibility of
dampness in a cement cellar floor,
only this type of paint should be
used.
Roofing Paper
Question: I should like to put roofing paper on the gable roof of my
garage. Should I take off the old
paper first, or could I put the new
paper directly over the old? Is asphalt cement used to fasten the paper?
Answer: Yes, remove the old roofing paper. Asphalt roofing cement
should be used if the roofing paper
is of asl'halt; tar should be used i1

Have You Noticed It?
Journalism has made great advances since we were a boy. Now
the number of casualties in a
great disaster is approximately
what the first reports say they are.

Mistress-Marie, you were entertaining a man in the kitchen

Marie-That's for him to say,

Dried Foods Compressed
To Save Shipping Space
Wartime shrinking of food to
save shipping space brings us, step
by step, closer to the old idea of
a capsule meal. The latest wrinkle is compressing already dehydrated foods. Additional space
saved by compressing ranges from
30 per cent for dried whole milk
to 80 per cent for dried cream of
cabbage soup.
A dehydrated and compressed
potato brick, no bigger than a shoe
box, can be crumbled in hot water,
and, when mixed, makes mashed
potatoes for 100 soldiers.

Could He?
Said Mr. Henpeck, who had just
overheard his wife •scolding the
maid: "You and I seem to be in
the same unfortunate position,
Mary."
"Not likely I" replied the maid.
"I'm giving her a week's notice
tomorrow."
Should Know Them
There was a scream of brakes as the
bus pulled to a sudden stop, to avoid a
flustered.looking pedestrian who was
dithering in the road1(}ay.
Crimson with strairt and rage, the
driver leaned out of his cab. It was
plain he was controlling himself with
a great effort as he asked politely:
"May I ask what are your plans, sir?"

Not Kidding
"See that bevy of quail in the
underbrush?"
"Yes."
"Well, watch me shoot a hole
clear through the red barn behind
'em."

The worldly hope men set their
hearts upon
Turns ashes-or it prospers; and
anon,

Uke snow upon the desert's dusty
/aee
Ughting a little hour or two--is gone.
--OMAR KHAYYAM.

Life is like a mountain: after
climbing up one side and sliding
down the other, put up the sled.
-Josh Billings.

"Miss Climber says she is very
fond of young De Sapp."
"Why, I thought she was a man
hater."
"So she is. I suppose that's wlty
she likes De Sapp."

In Riding a Bicycle, We
Balance With Our Ears
The transportation restrictions
have sent many thousands of people back to the bicycle. Some of
us had not ridden a bicycle for
years, but the art of balancing on
two wheels came back to us easily
enough.
Now, why don't we fall over?
The tires on the bicycle are a
semi-circular pattern, you will
have noticed, and when you come
to think about it they do look pretty
precarious. In fact, it is obvious
that you are going to hold them
up, not they hold you.
The truth is that we balance our
bicycles with our ears. It is all
part of our normal make-up, this
balancing act, and we commence
putting it into operation as soon
as we begin to walk.
T)1e ear is divided into three
parts: the outer ear, the middle
ear, and the inner ear. Our balancing mechanism is contained in
the inner ear. There we have two
tiny canals filled with liquid. We
might almost call them "fluid levels," for they function in much the
same way. When the liquid is
moved by the sway of the head it
touches tiny hairs which convey to
the brain the message that we are
overbalancing.

est measurement of the part of
the chair to which it is to· be fitted plus seams, seat tuck-in and
flounce fullness. The method of
measuring is shown here.
Slip cover material usually
comes in 36 and 50-inch widths.
Frequently a narrow chair back
may be covered by splitting a 50inch width of goods. For other
chairs 36-inch material might be
cut to better advantage. If the
material has a large figure an extra yard will be needed for matching and centering the design. Decide in advance which seams are
to be accented with welting or
trimming and measure them to
determine the amount needed.

Unharmed and unmolested by
the conquering Napoleon and more
recently by Hitler's armies is a
small nation, Andorra, which lies
between France and Spain on the
slopes of the Pyrenees mountains.
During the long winter months the
people of Andorra (pop. 5,000) are
"holed in" as the mountain passes
become obstructed by snow.
Frequently farm animals are
kept inside the homes to utilize
the warmth of their bodies. Murder has never been committed in
Andorra, according to records.

Yards rather than· miles were the
measure of Russian gains on the
Smolensk sector as the thaw-soddened central front was further
mired by heavy spring rains.
Further to the south, however, the
Red forces menaced the steadily
shrinking German bridgehead in the
Northwest Caucasus by the capture
of Anastasevskaya, 38 miles northwest of Novorossisk on the last highway link between Nazi forces north
and south of the Kuban river.
Elsewhere, fresh German tank assault&lt;&gt; against the Soviet line on the
Doncts river east of Kharkov were
rolled back by the stout Red defenders. In the north the Germans tacitly reported a retreat near Staraya
Russa, between Moscow and Leningrad, by admitting a "withdrawal
to prepared positions."

The toll of German prisoners has increased steadily as British and
American forces have driven in on Rommel's cornered Axis forces in
Tunisia. Typical of the multitude of captives is the above group of German prisoners taken in the British drive north of Gabes.

I

NORTH AFRICA:
Axis Hold Shrinks

FOOD SUBSIDY:
Urged to Aid Poor

Of key importance in heralding
the possibility of an earlier-than-expected finish of the Tunisian campaign were reports that the harbor
and shipping facilities of Gabes had
been left undamaged by the Axis
forces in their hasty retreat from
Gen. Montgomery's onslaughts.
With Gabes functioning as an Allied supply port, the long overland
haul of war materials from Tripoli
or Bengazi far down the African
coast in Libya could be avoided.
Moreover, Allied sea and air power
concentrated in Gabes could further
harass the Axis forces.
The all-over battle for North Africa was not yet won, but steadily
British armies from the north and
south and American armies from
the center were tightening the
squeeze on the remaining Axis
troops in Tunisia.
As Marshal Rommel's forces had
made their last desperate effort to
beat their way northward for a ju ction with Col. Gen. Von Arnim's
troops in the Bizerte area, reports
indicated that the Axis had flown
fresh troops into Tunisia. To relieve the pressure on Rommel, Von
Arnim's forces had staged a brief
counter - offensive against British
forces near Bizerte. Control of the
air over North Africa had appeared
to be turning overwhelmingly in the
Allies' favor, as raids shook the Axis
lines and turned Rommel's retreat
into a nightmare.
Meanwhile in answer to reports
that Germany had commandeered
the Italian fleet and all avail~le
French merchantmen preparatory to
an attempt to evacuate Halo-German armies from Tunisia in an Axis
"Dunkirk," the Allies staged an
unprecedented raid by 100 Flying
Fortresses that smashed the important Axis supply base at Cagliari,
Sardinia, damaging 26 merchant
ships and putting 71 enemy planes
out of commission. Simultaneously, waves of American Billy Mitchell bombers struck at an Axis convoy in the Sicilian narrows, sinking
at ll!ast three large ships and leaving others burning and settling.

Suggesting that the government
pay persons in low income groups
special allowances to enable them
to buy sufficient food, Roy F. Hendrickson, head of the Food Distribution administration, declared he believed that otherwise these people
would "find it tough to get food."
Emphasizing that his statements
were his own personal views, Hendrickson declared that the plan he
advocates would aid the farmer.
Declaring the problem had to be
"treated from both ends," he said
that the farmer had become discouraged because food costs have
gone so high while prices paid him
have not risen in proportion.
"We have got to see that the farmer is able to market his stuff," Hendrickson declared. Any volume of
income to the purchasing class is
bound to help the farmer."
In addition to the low income
groups, he suggested payments for
the aged, the blind and otherwis~
handicapped.

INVESTIGATION:
Of U. S.-Held Foods
Into a maze of charges and
countercharges that the government
itself had become No. 1 food hoarder, the senate's Truman investigating committee plunged in an effort
to obtain the facts.
Chairman Harry S. Truman announced that a two-way investigation was in progress. One phase
is to inquire into the amount of food
held by government agencies. The
other was to inv!!stigate the needs
of the armed forces. Information
from both government and private
sources had been obtained, he said.
Previously, members of the food
trade and others had charged that
t!le armed services are hoarding
processed foods and thus forcing less
than necessary civilian allowances
under rationing.
"Supplies of food for the armed
forces must be sufficiently great to
assure that there will be plenty of
food for our soldiers and sailors,"
Truman said. "However, care must
be taken to assure that the government does not itself become a
hoarder."

POSTWAR PLANS:
Poland Speaks Up
With postwar peace plans gammg
increased attention in Allied chancellories, the Polish government-inexile served notice that Poles would
resist "to the last man" any claims
from any quarter aimed at the
"sovereignty and integrity of Poland."
Spokesman for the Poles was

Russia, since the Soviet government
recently announced its intention of

Poland in 1939.
But even as he stoutly proclaimed
his doctrines of independence, Sikorski recommended that an Allied air
force should go to the Russian front
after the fighting in Tunisia is concluded as an expression of United

HERBERT HOOVER

Taking stock of America's industrial power, Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
board, declared that "Today we are
turning out more goods for war than
we ever produced for our peacetime
needs, yet we have enough power
left over to keep civilian standards
of living at a high level."
Mr. Nelson predicted in an address
in Chicago that the United States
this year will turn out more than 80
billion dollars worth of goods for war
purposes. The WPB chief's 1943 estimate compares with 48 billion in
1942, the first year after Pearl Harbor, 17 billion in 1941 and four billion
in 1940, the year 'Germany smashed
her way across Europe.
The figures will get even bigger,
Mr. Nelson said, adding "as they
grow the armies and cities of the
Axis will feel an ever-fiercer flame,
a more terrifying blast from the
guns and bombs of America."
Eventual victory, he declared, already is being foreshadowed in the
"cold hard figures of production."

in the week's news

Two events pointed to the conclusion that the nation's synthetic rubber producing program was proceeding successfully.
One was the appearance of Rubber Director William M. Jeffers before a senate committee with a
heavy duty synthetic truck tire and
his statement that the artificial
elastic had been perfected "to the
point where it will very nearly meet
all requirements without mixing witb
natural rubber."
The other was the action of the
rubber division and the department
of agriculture in reducing the immediate planting of guayule, a rubber producing shrub from 53,000
acres to between 13,000 and 20,000
acres.
Jeffers warned, however, that the
rubber situation was still critical.

DRAFT:
Reaches War Plants
As the need for military manpower increased a nation-wide search of
war factories for men of draft age
who could be replaced by women or
older men was undertaken. So great
is the need, Selective Service officials revealed, that the canvass
of the war plants might result in
calling for military service thousands of men now classified 2A and
2B-men actually producing tools of
war or working in direct support of
the war effort.
State directors of Selective Service, conferring in Washington with
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft
director, surveyed the over-all operations covering inductions for the
future.
Not only would practices govern·
ing the drafting of fathers be clearly

were measures in connection with a

tries and the return to agricultural
work of farm workers who have en

Army Clarifies Policies
Regarding Farm labor
Military Units May Be Employed on Crops During 'Emergency Situations'; Individual
Furloughs Not Contemplated.
By BAUKHAGE
New.• Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
"Home on a furlough."
I wonder how many of my readers rem~mber that very popular
print of two (or maybe more) generations ago. Well, never mind if
you don't (though I would appreciate
a letter from any who do); "home
on a furlough" is going to mean
something quite different now.
I remember the original picture
only vaguely. I didn't know what
the word "furlough" meant. But I
know there was a tousle-headed
blond boy in the middle of an admiring farm family, telling his adventures.
Today, the farm boy with a conscience, and the farm family with a
farm, are looking forward to the
"furlough" that will bring the boy
home for work, not the telling of his
tales of adventure.
It isn't going to be quite that way.
The President, when the farm bloc
was riding the administration its
hardest last month, went into considerable detail as to what was to
be done to solve the farm labor
question. · Since then some concrete
steps have been taken but not the
ones the farmers, or some of them,
would have liked. They would have
liked their own sons, or their own
hands, who enlisted because they
simply couldn't stay "out of the
show," back doing the old chores
they used to do. But this is what
the army said:
"The army does not contemplate
furloughing individual soldiers to
work on farms," the war department
announced in a statement clarifying
policies and procedures by which
soldiers may be used to alleviate
the farm labor shortage.
"World War I experience demonstrated that such temporary releases of individual ooldiers were of
little assistance to the agriculture
industry and disrupted the organization ana training of the army. If
furloughs were granted for this purpose, neither agriculture nor the
army' could' be assured that the \soldiers thus furloughed actually would
be engaged in agricultural activities.
"Certain emergency situations
may develop in which vital crops
may be endangered because of critical shortages in local agricultural
labor. In such cases, military units
may be employed under command
of their own officers to supplement
the local farm labor until the crisis
ii over.
"Troops so employed will be
housed and fed by the army and will
be subject to military control at all
times.
"Requests for use of military units
for emergency farm duty must be
transmitted to the war department
by the chairman of the War Manpower commission."

Another Loophole
However, there is another loophole which all of the farmers or the
farm men in service may not know
about. A soldier over 38 years of
age who is on active duty in the
continental United States can get his
discharge right now if he can ge;t a
statement from his local farm agent
to the effect that he is needed.
But the application has to get in
by May 1. The same thing applies
to men overseas and they have untU
June. (Better tell them by V -Mail.)
The President explained to us
twice, why a batch of young men
couldn't be pulled out of a division
and sent home.
You can take 10 or 20 soldiers out
of an outfit that has just started
training and it doesn't make much
difference. But you can't take that
many men out of an outfit already
trained and booked for overseas. Not
witho_ut crippli?g the outfit so badly
that It really mterferes with battle
plans.
That's his explanation and he
made it t? us the other day, leaning
?ack m his chair and obviously trymg hard to get over an idf::a that
he believes is right.
There is going to be a "land
army." He said he didn't like the
term because it made the farmers
think they were going to have a lot
of green city folks descend on them
He knows what the farmers think
about folks who will scare the
horses, sprain their ankles try to
milk a cow and when she' doesn't
give, say: "The valves are stuck."

One farmer wrote me he'd rather
have grasshoppers than city folks on
his place.

England'• Method
The Pre:.ident said to us that in
England they have increased food
production 60 per cent. And they
did it with the help of a land army,
mostly women with no previous
training. They got the training. A
lot depends on the training.
I talked with a farmer near her~
who took on a city boy, green as
grass. The boy probably thought
shorts were something you wore
and probably would have looked in
the toolbox for a boar.
Maybe you heard him talk on the
Farm and Home Hour. Well, I met
him and the farmer, too. The kid
is crazy to get back this summer
and the farmer told me he was
sick when he !&lt;tad to let him go back
to school. City folks are dumb in a
lot of ways. But so are farmers.
It's true you can lead a horse to
water but you can't make him drink.
Also, a lot of horses have got the
sense to drink if you've got sense to
lead them to the water.
In spite of dumb help or none at
all, in spite of lack of machines
and a lot of red tape, the farmers
of the country have signed up to
raise a bigger crop than they've ever
raised. I believe with a little horse
sense and patience, they are going
to pull through.
No team pulled together until they
were in harness.
If they don't, God help us and the
army at meal time.

The WeatherA Dead Topic
As you know, mention of the
weather on the radio these days is
forbidden. The newspapers can describe a snow storm or a hot spell
but the radio commentators cannot.
There is a good reason for this.
A lurking submarine could pick up
a newscast, and if enough facts concerning the weather were revealed
by 'stations in enough widely sep- '
arated localities, even an amateur
meteorologist-and the Germans are
no amateurs-could make a pretty
good weather forecast by putting two
and two together.
But being unable to describe the
manifestations of nature that I see
on my way to work in the morning
is a terrible handicap to me. Recently I've gotten around the difficulty by talking about last week's
weather, and before going on the
air, reading what I was going to
say to the censorship officials and
getting their 0. K. In no case did
they restrict me. The other day,
however, I forgot to call up the Censorship office but the Blue Network
didn't forget. I got this message:
"Censorship says you have to cut
out all references to weather from
now on. They say that there was
nothing actually censorable in what
you have said or what you have
written today but so many complaints have come in from other
stations that you were violating
the regulations, and so many other
stations have been using your comments on the weather as an excuse
for violating the rule, that we will
have to ask you to stop discussing
the subject entireiy."
The following is what censorship
didn't let me say but what it has no
objection to my printing:
"It was pretty hard the past week
not to mention the swiftly changi.rig
scene which nature provided Washingtonians-one day, not so long ago
a top coat was far too heavy for
comfort and in the park, the dark
patches were beginning to be studded
with jeweled buds and the sunlight
seemed to turn into solid gold on the
bursting forsythia. On that balmy
day I remarked-'Well, we must be
due for a blizzard.'
'
"Twenty-four hours later the fine
snow began to fall and late that afternoon and the following morning
the tree limbs and trunks wer;
wrapped in great soft blankets of
down-even the high branches were
wide bands of white-but when we
went home from work in the evening, the streets were dry and clean
again and only here and there in
the shadow of a hedge· or in the
sheltering cups of the brown ivy
leaves was a dust of snow-like
a meager spri.nkling of precious
sugar on the rim of a doughnut.."

TIJE STORY SO FAR: Robin Dale, a
young artist, goes to Moose Bay to see
her fiance, Will McPhail. But on the way
5he meets hll brother, Angus, and she
reaUzes that she must not come between
l.be two men. So when l.be Wblte Queen
docks, sbe stays on board. But Will,
operating a crane, Is attracted by the
slgbt of a girl on tbe deck. He loses bls
balance and Is ktlled. Learning lbat
Angus blames her, Robin (oes to his boat
to walt for him and falls asleep. When
she awakes she ftods that the boat has
sailed, carrylnc her toward Labrador as
a stowaway. Also aboard are Angus,
Pat Donohoe and a French-speakln(
cabin boy named Romeo. Robin Is ask·
log blm the time.

CHAPTER VIU
"Qu~:~le heure est-il?"

With a flash of smiling teeth
Romeo answered at the same hme
pointing to an alarm clock hanging
on a nail against the forward bulkhead. Twenty minutes past two.
She calculated swiftly-twelve plus
two and a half, plus, say five and a
half-that they must be eighteen
hours out of Moose Bay. Maybe
'200 miles? Romeo was saying something and pointing. The galley
opened into the narrow triangular
forecastle with two bunks and a litter of stores and gear; and a steel
ladder led up through an open hatch
to t~e deck. She thought Romeo was
telhng her to go up on the bow deck,
and she stepped into the forecastle;
but then she saw that the pilothouse
was accessible by a set of steel
rungs against the bulkhead on the
starboard side. She looked up into
Pat Donohoe's scarred and battered
countenance. He was looking down
at her between his knees, tne toes
of his boots not six inches from her
nose as she stood below him. He
and Angus were together there, and
Pat moved his great bulk out of her
way to let her climb up to join them,
then slid past her and down into
the forecastle to give her room
enough. Angus McPhail, at the
wheel, looked at her with those eyes
which so curiously always seemed
gray though they were really blue,
and she sat down beside him; said,
"Good afternoon."
"Sleep all right?" he asked quietly.
"I didn't know anything till-Romeo, is it-waked me. Did you?
You seem rested."

surely too far away to have seen
Robin; she was too well hidden behind Mr. McPhail and in the shadows of the pilothouse to be seen. Yet
Mr. Jenkins not only lifted his hand;
he raised his hat!
Ang~o~s McPhail looked at her
sharply, as though expecting to
catch her in the act of returning
that salutation. "Did he know you
were aboard here?" he demanded.
"I don't see how he could."
"He may have seen you come
aboard last night."
"I'm sure he didn't."
Angus stared at the other boat
which drew rapidly away ahead of
them. He leaned sidewise to look
down into the forecastle. "Pat?" he
called.
"Aye, sorr!"
"Where are you? Where's Romeo?"
"Aft. Will I call him, sorr?"
"No, no matter. You come take
her, Pat."
Pat Donohoe climbed into the pilot-house; he went around behind
the high seat to McPhail's other
side. McPhail asked him a question.
"Pat, how did you know I'd be on
the White Queen?"
"Sure, sorr, Will told me."
"Of course that's so " Angus assented disar:ningly. ,:So you met
me?"

Did Will tell you he d meet us
at the bunkhouse?"
"Sure and that one never knew

"i

''Some.''

She remembered the narrow
bench in the cabin that m\..st have
been his bed, spoke of it. "I'm
afraid you were uncomfortable."
"No, I didn't sleep there. I came
into the fo'c's'le. One or the other
of the men had the wheel all night,
so there was an extra bunk. I got up
at Salmon River. We tagged a dozen or fifteen fish."
"Oh! Did we stop? Why didn't
you put me off?"
"I'll take you on to Beaver River.
We'll get there late tonight or early
tomorrow. A steamer stops there
tomorrow night. You'll be in plenty
of time to catch it."
She looked at him, thinking he
was himself again, remote, controlled, quiet and steady as a rock.
But she had gone to sleep last night
with a question in her mind. She
said:
"Mr. McPhail-forgive me-may
I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Did-your brother expect you on
the White Queen?"
Something quickened in his eyes;
moved and then was still.
"Yes," he said, after a moment.
She guessed that this question had
occurred to him before, had been
forgotten till just now.
"But then," she urged, "why
didn't he meet you, or call to you
when you landed, or something? Instead of letting you gb oii to shore?"
It was some time before Angus
answered . When he did, he seemed
to think aloud.
"I wasn't sure the White Queen
would stop at Rimouski," he said.
''I wrote him I'd catch her if I
could, but that otherwise I might
have to come by plane. I said I'd
let him know; but I forgot to write
him again, or wire him or anything.
So he didn't know surely I'd be on
her."
"Oh!" For a while she did not
speak, nor did he; but she was not
satisfied.
Then she remembered Pat Donohoe, and she had a dozen questions
instantly.
"Didn't your boatman, Mr. Donohoe, know where your brother was?
He met you at the boat. He knew
you were coming, Mr. McPhail. He
must have known your brot!'!er was
right there on the wharf, mustn't
he?"
McPhail's head swung sharply
away from her. She thought at first
he had turned away to avoid her
eyes; but he said in a soft surprise, "Hullo!"
She leaned forward to look past
him through the small side window
to see what had caught his atten:
lion. A gray motor cruiser like a
submarine chaser drew smoothly
abreast of them, traveling three feet
to their two. Robin recognized it;
and as It .hauled ahead of them,
she recogmzed the man on deck
even at th:s conside rable distance'
as Mr. Jenkins. She said, unneces:
sarily:
"Why, it's Mr. Jenkins!"
Angus did not speak. Mr. Jenkins
li.fted a hand in greeting. He was

the next; they worked him so. He'd
be at this job and that, faster than
a man could wink."
"Queer he didn't see me land?"
"He'd be paying attention to his
job. Eh, he was such a hand to
work you've no idea, sorr. Never
another thing in the mind of him
but the job he was at, ever, to be
sure."
Angus McPhail said sternly: "Pat,
if you E!ver lied to me, I'd break
you in nine pieces, big as you are."
Pat chuckled. "Sure, sorr, you'd
be welcome to. But if I ever did,
it'd be a lie that had to be told,
sorr. Maybe about something that
was best forgot. Well you know
that's true."
Robin watched Mr. Jenkins' boat
drawing away, ahead of them, and
she thought there was sometimes
between two men a thing no wornan could ever understand, strange
and deep and beautiful. Angus MePhail said now:
"Pat, you're a lying Irish blackguard! If a Scotchman hadn't invented the wheelbarrow, you'd never have learned to walk on your
hind legs."
Pat chuckled. "If 'twas a Scotchman did that, it was so he could get
two men's work out of one Irishman,
be sure, sorr. Shall I take her
now?"
Angus nodded. He spoke to Robin. "We'll go aft."
Romeo was busy in the galley;
and he smiled at her a s she passed
and she at him. In the cabin, Angus
shut the galley door, and he said:
"Pat will not tell the truth till he's
ready. No use pressing h1m. You
notice he evaded answering." He
sat down wearily. "Will was probably drunk," he decided. "I should
have guessed that. I can s ee now
that Pat tried to keep us apart till
Will had time to sober ofi. The
boy was a wild, reckless fool, wh en
he'd had a drink or two. I s uppose
he insisted on handling the crane,
and someone let him."
She thought of Will McPhail
asleep on a bench in the Public Gar·
dens with a roll of newspaper like a
lily in h1s hands; of Will, after
champagne, forgetting where he
jli\·ed; of Will on the marrowbones
of repentance outside her door, with

sackcloth and ashes on his back.
Will had been fun; but he seemed
now infinitely remote, as though he
had never lived. After all, the dead
are the lucky ones. It is the living
who grieve, who must go on living.
People like Angus here. She said:
"Pat loves you, doesn't he?"
"Pat? We've knocked around together quite a lot." He said reluctantly: "Miss Dale, if Will was
drunk, that's the answer. Not anything you did. No drunken man can
handle a ticklish job like that. I've
been half-crazy these three days. At
least I know-well, I'm sorry I
blamed you."
"It's all right."
"Even if he'd been sober-! suppose it's never fair to blame a woman for being beautiful and wanting
to have it noticed. You might as
well blame a kitten that chases its
tail." He looked at her honestly.
"I'm sane enough today. Talk never mended a broken plate; but-I'm
sorry to have spoken wrongly to
you."
"I'm glad you're sorry, and glad
you told me so." She hesitated, then
on sudden decision she said: "I
think I'll ten you something, Mr.
McPhail." He looked at her and she
said carefully: "When your brother
saw me, he didn't just see a pretty
girl in a bathing suit." Her voice
was grave. "He recognized me, Mr.
McPhail.''
He stared at her. "You knew
Will?"
She told the truth then, in a dozen
sentences. While sho spoke he
watched her keenly, thinking how
young she was, remembering Will's
words. "Oh, baby, wait for papa!"
She was wrong, of course. Will had
not known her. But if she was happier in thinking that he had . .
She finished and he asked with a
curious gentleness:
"You came to Moose Bay to see
him?"
"Yes. I meant to surprise him."
"I see. But-when I told you
about this trip he and I had planned,
you decided to stay on the White
Queen so Will and I could have our
trip together?"
There was no need of any answer.
She made none. He turned toward
the after companionway. "We're
coming in to LaLogue River," he
said, in an abstracted tone. "I'll get
the gear ready. You might be interested to see how we tag the
salmon."
When they came on deck, it was
she who saw the plane, flying very
high, a mile or two behind them, at
times half hidden in the lower
masses of the clouds. She pointed
it c.ut to him.
"It's a Government ship," Angus
decided, and watched it curiously.
"Hullo, look, it's circling!"
The plane seemed in fact to hover in one place, like a fishhawk
watching a flounder in the shallows.
It circled, it drew figures of eight;
it loitered in the skies. Yet it was
overhauling them. By the time they
drew in toward the shore a mile or
two short of the river mouth, the
plane had passed on beyond the river, still flying in that strangely dilatory fashion. They anchored, and
at their signal a fisherman on shore
put off in his boat and rowed toward them. Before he reached the
cruiser, the sound of the plane's
motor had receded as it moved slowly eastward.
Mr. Jenkins and his boat were already out of sight, three or four
miles ahead of the plane.
That business of tagging the sal·
mon did interest Robin. Having
one.: or twice fished with her fa·
ther, she had thought of the men
who netted salmon as butchers, sou:less and depraved, killing beautiful
fish by the scores. But the man
who rowed them now did not look
the villain. His name was Dubois;
and he had the stocky shoulders and
the lean hips and the sturdy legs
of his breed, with a pleasant eye, a
.firm jaw, an easy slow way of
speaking.
Dubois, in the bow, said over his
shoulder: "Here's a live one for
you!" Robin stood up to look; and
she saw the net floats were being
tugged to and fro by some disturbance in the net below. A moment
later, Dubois lifted into the boat a
snarl of net.
They took from that net a dozen
dead salmon and three live ones
which Angus tagged and released.
There were eight nets alongshore at
LaLogue, four to the west of the
river mouth and four to the east of
it, spaced a half-mile or so apart.
Angus and Pat worked them; but
after the first, Robin stayed aboard
with Romeo. He was amused at
her efforts to talk French; and his j
flattering glances were eloquent
enough of the satisfaction he found
in her company . When Angus came
aboard, after the second net, he
said:
''See here, Romeo's prancing like
a goat! i wouldn't be too friendly
with hi!'1, Miss Dale ."
"He 's teaching me French," she
e xplained. "I can already understand some of the thmgs he says,
1£ he talks very slowly."
Angus said thoughtfully : "I think ,
th e re are a Jot of thin gs you don't
understand at all." He added, as
though this cons ideration rea ssured
him : "But we'll be at Beaver Rive,before daylight."

This easily prepared gelatin dessert uses all unrationed food. It's
pretty but easy to make, and will
top off either a light or heavy meal.
These are times when ch::.nges
are the fashion-and that particularly applies to
changes in foods
and cooking methods. Mrs. America can no longer
dash to the grocer's
and
get
enough canned or
processed foods
to put together a quick meal. Nor
can she get together a meal, even
one that would take time, with those
rationed foods.
Points must be budgeted far more
carefully than dollars and cents in
the past! That is the realization every homemaker has been feeling
since Ration Book II went into effect. Out of that has arisen one
tnaxim : never to buy a canned or
processed food if a fresh one is
available.
Confusion, indecision, anrl slowness in buying were the adjectives
grocers used when buying with War
Ration Book II began. But this is
gradually wearing away as Mrs.
America learns new shopping methods.
Since point values change monthly, it's a good idea to keep a list of
point values on hand when making
the menu. Plan menus for a week
at tt time-marketing lists and bndget lists all on hand when you're no.ng this important bit of work. Don't
go to the store and wander aimlessly, selecting whatever appeals
to the eye. Even if you have four
or five ration l::,ooks from which to
spend, it's certain you won't get
enough out of them by the hit or
miss method.
Keep 0:1 the lookout for point values which may change-they vary
from month to month am~ sometimes
change during the month as the public's buying habits are watched.
Haphazard shopping, meal-planning, and carelessness about the
health of the family are out o~
date. The homemaker must be
alert and vigilant
now as never before to make of
her family the
strongest a n d
healthiest possible unit-for a healthy America is a
strong America.
Lamb is fairly easily obtainable
meat and second to pork, richest
source tJf thiamin-our morale vitamin. Very little, if any, lamb is
being sent to the armed forces and
Allies, and that means it is for civilian use.
Baked Lamb Loaf.
(Serves 8 to 10)
1~ {Jounlis ground lamb
1% cups bread crumbs
I cup milk
2 tablespoons minced green pepper
2 tablespoons cbl}ppe.il &gt;_!:lrsley
3 tablespoons g.a:ated onion

Lynn

2 teaspoons salt
% teaspoon pepper
Soak crumbs and mix well with
meat and other ingredients. Pack
into a loaf pan. Bake in a 300 degree oven for llh hours. This may
also be baked in a ring mold and
served with parsleyed potatoes.
Fish will come into more popularity to help extend our main dishes
when ration points will not cover
that major item:
Fish Loaf.
(Serves 6)
2 cups cooked, flaked fish (leftover
may be used)
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tables~ooos butter or margarine
1 cup fine, soft bread erumbs
Yz teaspoon salt
~ teasyoon pepper
2 eggs, separate(]
% cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Shred the fish. Saute green pepper and onion in butter, add to fish
with bread crumbs and seasonings.
Beat egg yolks, add milk and then
add to fish mixture. Stir in lemon
juice. Fold in stiffly beaten egg
whites. Poured into a greased loaf
pan, set in a pan of not water.
Bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.
Serve with white sauce to which
hard-cooked eggs have been added.
As the days become warmer we
will gradually begin adding salads
for our main
dishes, to help
save on pointage.
Here is a splendid suggestion,
using a 11 unra tioned foods:
*fleviled Egg, Macaroni
and Pea Salad.
(Serves 8)
10 to 12 deviled eggs
1 package (12 to 16-ounce) macaroni
2Yz cups cooked, fresh peas
French dressing
Radish roses
Salad gret&gt;ns-optional
Deviled eggs
10 to 12 hard-cooked eggs
2 ta!)lespoor..s salad dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice or ,·inegar
1Yz teaspoons mustard
1% teaspoons worcestershire sauce
Yz teaspoon salt
~~ teaspoon celery salt
~ teaspoon pepper
Cut a half-inch slice irom round·
ed end of egg. Cut a saw tooth edge
around white, if desired. Remove
yolk carefully. Press yolks and bits
of leftover whites through sieve,
add remaining ingredients and beat
until light and fluffy. Refill shells,
using pastry tube for decorating top,
if desired.
Boil macaroni in salted water according to directions on package.
Drain, rinse, then drain thoroughly.
Marinate with a little french dressing, then chill.
Cook reas, drain, and save stock
for soup. Marinate peas in french
dressing.
To make salad, heap macaroni in
center of dish. Alternate deviled
eggs and radish roses around edge,
pressing them into macaroni. Fill
with a border of peas between eggs
and macaroni.

Anli-N ••i"e Regulations
Methods of enforcing municipal
anti-noic;e ordinzncc·s vary considerably from city to dty, though they
are limited in moft communities to
police wamings and nominal fines.
Edu(·&lt;.tion•l camp1i"'ns have been
succes.Jful in many c1hcs in securing
co-operation of the pulJlic in observing anti-nm&lt;e 'Jrdinances. In a few
ci1.ics, Jail sc n•t'ncPs ha\'e been imposed, however. Fines imposed by
n any ordinances, also, range up to
$500. More than 50 per cent of the
nation's lurr r citi£&gt;s ha\'e anti-noise
mdinanc~.;s. In add tion, man:y cities
ha\ e tr t1fik, nuisc.ncc and other orclinan 't s dosiJ:~:1-::d to regulate ·noise
to some extent.

The scope of opportunities for
women in chemistry is almost unlimited, Dr. Helen I. Miner of Wayne
university declares. Surveying the
Detroit area, Dr. Miner finds that,
while three years ago the majority
of women chemists were engaged in
t eaching or medical research, today
a larger proportion is represented in
the fields of industry and medicine
and the number is limited by the
supply rather than the demand.
"Conclusion of the war will not
contract this extended horizon for
women chemists," Dr. Miner asserts. "In the reconstruction period
which must follow there still will be
acute needs for trained Americans
of both sexes and of varied racial
backgrounds to go' abroad to arsi~t
in the multitude of probl"tnS-ntltrttional, m edical, agricultural, and mdustrial-which must l.Je solved in
winning the peace."
World War I provided the inili'!
stimulus for the first large scole pL.rticipation in scientific endca vor l,y
women, Dr. Miner points out. "lo
1918 the number of women cht•m·
ists in the American Chemicill society more than tripled th e !!Jl4 figure and enrollments in medical and
scientific courses in the universitiLS
throughout this country v.. ere greatly increased."

Glycerine, always important because of its mat)y uses in industry,

When the war machines start rolling, glycerine is indispensable.
It is indispensable f:rom the beginning of the fight to the end. The

our cities and towns from destruction and invasion will face a rising
demand from all classes of patriotic
citizens to come out and fight.
MJllions of workers who now are

money to their government during
the Second War Loan campaign
(which started April 12).
· In recognition of the spirit of sacrifice which is sweeping over the
land as our troops swing into offensive action in Africa and await
the signal for a landing in Europe,
the Treasury Department is offering
a series of government bonds to fit
every pocketbook.
No matter whether Americans buy
the familiar Series E Bonds or 2 ~!!

Next Decade to See Changes in Air Travel
That Seem Fantastic to All but Aviators
But Most of Us \.rVi11 Live
To Learn Every Prophecy
Has Come True!
By EUIO SCOTT WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

high school
CALIFORNIA
youngsters will spend two

weeks' study- vacations in a
China reached after a fast hop
in a plane or a huge dirigible.
The graduating classes of Hudson's Bay Eskimo elementary
schools will fly to New York or
Chicago for supervised studyvisits.
Half-naked natives from the
fgrests of Malay will fly to universities in California or Australia and fly back to the native
villages as agronomists and
physicists.
"Impossible!" you say- or
perhaps only: "Not likely!"

As a matter of fact, it's not only
possible but it's entirely probable.
Y eu can take the word of a man
who knows!
He is Harry Bruno, who grew up
with American aviation and with its
early heroes. If any man is qualified to forecast what's ahead in an
America that has always pioneered
in flight and that will probably be
eYeo more dependent on air travel
ha tbe future than it has in the past,
he is that man.
5lo when he makes such prophecies as those given at the beginning
et this article, don't just laugh them
etr. Instead, read these words of his:
"All this-and more-can be accomplished with the planes and airships
that exist today. But the world of
to001orrow will fly greater, faster,
mlll'e economical flying machines
and airships than now exist."
You'll find those words in a new
book, "Wings Over America- The
Inside Story of American Aviation,"
written by Harry Bruno and published by Robert M. McBridge and
Company of New York. It's not
goly an interesting book because it's
the "inside story" told by a man
who, as one of the six original "Quiet
Birdmen" and as today's foremost
aviation publicist, has first-hand
lmowledge of every memorable and
spectacular event in the development of America's aerial power. It's
also an important book-important
right now when America is engaged
in a life-and-death struggle. For, as
Maj. Alexander P. de Seversky, who
wrote the introduction to Mr.
Bruno's book, says:
"The United Nations will win this
war through superior science, or
they will not win it at all. We must
cut loose from the past and embark
upon audacious new strategies, with
air power as their core. We must
wtilize our superior technological setliP to spring intellectual surprises,
in machines and strategic innovatiQns, on the enemy. And thus it
will be that the dreamers, the pioneers of yesterday's aviation will become the realists and leaders of today and tomorrow. The dynamics
of air power are so intensive that
we must plan for tomorrow if we
want to be on time today. Fortunately America has the leadership
to achieve this. Hany Bruno tells
us; where and why."
Such being the case, let's "cut
loose from the past" (so far as our
ideas of the limitations of air travel
are concerned) and "embark upon
audacious new" voyages into the
f11ture with Mr. Bruno. You can do
that by reading the last chapter in
his book-"The Next Ten Years."
Always Look Forward.
At the outset of that chapter he
says: "The gods of aviation have
one rule which all must obey: always look forward." . Then he admonishes us to "Look ten years
ahead to a post-war world in which
the defeated Axis gangs are a thing
of the past, and you see one of the
most powerful reasons for each and
eYery one of us to buckle down and
do our utmost to guarantee this
victory. Thanks to aviation, this is
one of the most glorious ages in
world history."
Besides his predictions about the
California high school youngsters,
the Eskimo school children and the
half-naked natives from the forests
gf Malay, Mr. Bruno foresees also
the day when:
"Shepherds will fly from the crags
of Tibet to universities in Vladivostok and fly back to their native villages as doctors.
"Plane loads of professors will
take off from Madrid to train South
American Indians in new universities established near new airfields
io Colombia, in Venezuela, in Peru.
"The whole world will become the

make a most enlightening vacation in Norway or India a reality
for the Detroit mechanic or the Boston librarian."
Planes of the Future.
How will they be able to do all
Uris? Here is the answer in Mr.
Bruno's words:
"The big planes of the next decade
will glide through the stratosphere
at speeds of 600 miles an hour and
more. They will enable a man to
breakfast in New York and have
dinner in Paris on the same day.
Citizens of Detroit and Denver will
be able to do exactly the same, even
though their planes will fly nonstop from their home towns to Europe and South America.
"Their planes will not be patterned
after the huge flying boats that now
cross the oceans. The new planes·
of 1952 will be huge stratosphere
land planes, whose sealed, oxygenequipped cabins will carry more
than 200 passengers in all the luxury
and comfort travelers enjoyed on
luxury steamships like the Queen
Mary and the Normandie. They will
be powered by banks of gasoline-

PROPHET - Barry Bruno, who
"grew up" with American aviation,
makes some startling-hut "too conservative," so say his friends-predictions about air travel during the
next ten years.
burning engines of 5,000 horsepower
each. But the use of gasoline, in
aviation, will some day be as obsolete as the era of steam in automobiles. Electric engines of 10,000
horsepower, receiving their impulses
through rays transmitted from
ground stations will supplant gasoline engines within two decades of
the end of the war.
"Passengers with more time, out
for a more economical ocean crossing, will ride in the comfortable
helium-filled dirigibles of the new
world. These giant cargo and passenger airships will cross the Atlantic in about 36 hours, carrying fast
freight and about twice as many
passengers as the fast planes."
If you decided to sell your automobile because of the inconvenience
of gas rationing and wait until after
the war to get a new one, don't
count too much on becoming a
"motorist" again. For, according
to Mr. Bruno, automobiles "will
start to decline almost as soon as
the last shot is fired in World War
II. The name of Igor Sikorsky will
be as well known as Henry Ford's,
for his helicopter will all but replace the horseless carriage as the
new means of transportation. Instead of a car in every garage, there
will be a helicopter."
Why? Well, these marvelous machines can do everything an automobile can do, do it better and besides take you up in the air, far
from the gasoline fumes of the
crowded highways. Look at this picture of a Sunday afternoon pleasure
"drive," as Mr. Bruno paints it:
"The family will take off in its
heliccpter from the backyard or the
roof hangar, climb straight to the

level authorized by government regulation, fly on to their destination,
and land on earth, on a roof top, or
on water-as fancy dictates. Instead of wheels, the craft is mounted
on rubber floats-inasmuch as it
rises and descends like an elevator
anywhere, wheels are not needed.
These 'copters will be so safe and
wil! cost so little to produce that
small models will be made for 'teenage youngsters. These tiny 'copters,
when sghool lets out, will fill the
skies as the bicycles of our youth
filled the pre-war roads."
But 'copters aren't the only machiAes that your children and their
children will be driving. For, says
Mr. Bruno, "the great sport of our
youth will be motorless flight. Glider
meets will be held all over the country, much like the sailing meets of
other years."
However, the glider won't be a
machine for "pleasure driving"
only. It will become an important
economic factor in the transportation of the future. "Powerful cargocarrying sky trucks will tow trains
of cargo carrying gliders-since all
but the bulkiest slow freight will be
carried by airplane or glider-towing,
cargo-carrying dirigibles. The glider
will also become the great transportation medium of commuting."
Trains of Gliders.
Which means that when you decide to visit Aunt Emma back in
Syracuse or Cousin Will out in Oregon, here's how you'll go:
"Glider trains, towed by a lead
passenger-carrying plane that will
fly hundreds of miles, will drop gliders carrying local passengers at airports all along the route. Thus, a
trip from New York to Albany, for
instance, would be made in a glider
attached to the New York-Buffalo
sky train. Passengers would board
the train at the overhead station of
Rockefeller Center. The sky-train,
which started from LaGuardia Field,
would pick up the Albany glider at
Rockefeller Center (and pick it up
in flight, too) and continue on
toward Buffalo. Over Albany, the
conductor-pilot of the Albany glider
will cut his craft loose from the
train and glide to earth. By the
time the lead plane reaches Buffalo,
he will have dropped all of his gliders along the route."
"But all of these machines can
still fall down and kill people-no,
sir, I'll stick to good old Mother
Earth!" you say. The av.iation of
the future will become increasingly
safer, Mr. Bruno believes.
He
writes: "All aircraft will have television weather survey sets, enabling
them to see and hear weather conditions along the routes that lie
ahead. In this manner, they will be
able to fly above or around storm
areas and add to the comfort of
each flight.
"All airplane factories will be entirely underground, air-conditioned
and deep enough so that no aerial
bomb can ever hurt them. Airports
will also go underground and what
will appear to be an empty field will
suddenly become active when a
plane lands on it. A quick taxi to a
designed spot, and down will go the
underground hangar as the surface
sinks under the operation of a large
elevator. An international police
force, armed with the newest type
of air weapon, will have no trouble
maintaining order and understanding."
Such is Mr. Bruno's preview of
"things to come." Do you find them
hard to believe? Then reflect upon
these final words:
"These predictions are a lot more
conservative than the flat prediction,
in 1900, that before the century was
over man would build a machine
that would really fly. If anything,
most of my friends-men like Igor
Sikorsky and C. M. Keys, who read
this chapter, for instance-mark the
predictions down as being too earthbound, too conservative. And this
should tell you that most of you will
live to see them all come true I"

familiar, but the many other audacious men whose reputations have
been obscured. Here is a partial
list of the roll of honor: Calbraith

across the continent in 1911 and one

unassuming, little known flying
genius who for 20 years was one
of our ace test pilots; Lincoln
Beachy, a great exhibition pilot who

made tests that saved thousands of
lives; Vernon Castle, a brilliant wartime aviator who is remembered (if
at all) as a dancer; Roscoe Turner,
a speed d emon with a useful purpose; Clifford Henderson, the Barnum of aviation, who did more than
any aviator except Lindbergh to attract American attention to flying.

REPAIRING STUCCO HOMES

0

•

NE of my correspondents reports the buckling of stucco on
his 20-year-old house, and the deterioration of its surface. Another
is planning the purchase of a house
an which the stucco has cracked,
and in some places fallen. Both of
them ask for suggestions on repair.
Twenty years or so ago, wide use
was made of a stucco in which the
principal ingredient was a cementlike material called magnesite. As
time has gone on, it has been found
that this deteriorated, with a corrosive effect on metal lath. For this
reason magnesite is no longer used
for stucco, and when it has begun
to go bad, the only repair that is
practical and permanent is to strip
it off and to replace it with portland
cement stucco. No surface application can check the corrosion that is
going on underneath. Replacement
usually includes the providing of
new metal lath. With the old stucco taken off, it is sometimes possible to replace it with wood siding
over heavy roofing felt. One of my
correspondents is considering this,
but my choice would be new stucco
Princess House Frock
on new metal lath over heavy building felt. This, in my opinion, would

make the house more air-tight, and

There's Hope lor Us
Perhaps we are not as absentminded as we are thought to be,
or we could forget our troubles.
Some men are born great, but
the majority don't even have
greatness thrust upon them.
Every wife knows that it is not all
vanity that makes a husband delight in

In face of the drastic fuel oil

of the supplies which are available,
home owners are urged, where possible, to convert oil burning furnaces
to coal. Picture shows final step In
the converting process - replacement of the coal grates in the furnace.

Water Spots on CeiUngs
Question: Four years ago we had
a new asphalt roof put over a shingled roof. We now discover that
after a rainfall water spots of various sizes appear on the ceilings in
every room. Could you suggest a
remedy? Also, would it ruin the
ceiling?
Answer: Condensation may be
your problem. Thorough ventilation
may be the solution; particularly in
the attic. If there are no windows
in the attic, by all means have them
installed. If the ceilings are painted with an oil paint the plaster will
not be affected by the dampness on
the surface. I am, of course, taking for granted that there is no
leakage through the outside walls,
around window frames or an outside chimney.
Basement Floor
Question: Our house now is 13
months old. We painted the basement floor a green color. After the
second coat was on it began to turn
yellow in large spots. We washed
some of the paint off by scrubbing.
Can you tell us how we can get a
good finish on this floor?
Answer: For best results, take off
all the paint with a hot solution of
three pounds of washing soda to
each gallon of water. After removing the paint, rinse well with clear
water and allow to dry. You then
can finish the floor with a good quality synthetic resin floor paint. Since
there always is the possibility of
dampness in a cement cellar floor,
only this type of paint should be
used.
Roofing Paper
Question: I should like to put roofing paper on the gable roof of my
garage. Should I take off the old
paper first, or could I put the new
paper directly over the old? Is asphalt cement used to fasten the paper?
Answer: Yes, remove the old roofing paper. Asphalt roofing cement
should be used if the roofing paper
is of asl'halt; tar should be used i1

Dried Foods Compressed
To Save Shipping Space
Wartime shrinking of food to
save shipping space brings us, step
by step, closer to the old idea of
a capsule meal. The latest wrinkle is compressing already dehydrated foods. Additional space
saved by compressing ranges from
30 per cent for dried whole milk
to 80 per cent for dried cream of
cabbage soup.
A dehydrated and compressed
potato brick, no bigger than a shoe
box, can be crumbled in hot water,
and, when mixed, makes mashed
potatoes for 100 soldiers.

Said Mr. Henpeck, who had just

In Riding a Bicycle, We
Balance With Our Ears
The transportation restrictions
have sent many thousands of people back to the bicycle. Some of
us had not ridden a bicycle for
years, but the art of balancing on
two wheels came back to us easily
enough.
Now, why don't we fall over?
The tires on the bicycle are a
semi-circular pattern, you will
have noticed, and when you come
to think about it they do look pretty
precarious. In fact, it is obvious
that you are going to hold them
up, not they hold you.
The truth is that we balance our
bicycles with our ears. It is all
part of our normal make-up, this
balancing act, and we commence
putting it into operation as soon
as we begin to walk.
T)1e ear is divided into three
parts: the outer ear, the middle
ear, and the inner ear. Our balancing mechanism is contained in
the inner ear. There we have two
tiny canals filled with liquid. We
might almost call them "fluid levels," for they function in much the
same way. When the liquid is
moved by the sway of the head it
touches tiny hairs which convey to
the brain the message that we are
overbalancing.

the accumulated amount given to
him upon his return, minus such
deductions as insurance premiums
and allotments made to dependents. When a man is reported

Unharmed and unmolested by
the conquering Napoleon and more
recently by Hitler's armies is a
small nation, Andorra, which lies
between France and Spain on the
slopes of the Pyrenees mountains.
During the long winter months the
people of Andorra (pop. 5,000) are
"holed in" as the mountain passes
become obstructed by snow.
Frequently farm animals are
kept inside the homes to utilize
the warmth of their bodies. Murder has never been committed in
Andorra, according to records.

You Can Stretch
Meats and Have
Delicious Meals

Leftovers need not recline on the
refrigerator shelf when you can
make them into delicious meat pies
like this, simply and easily. Use
leftovers from a roast with a few
fresh vegetables and gravy to tuck
inside the flaky piecrust.

Short on red points at the end of
the week? There are several answers to the problem and I'm devoting the column to those suggestions
today.
It's a good idea to be smart in

you still have a bit of meat left on
the bones, and if you fix it with an
eye to camouflage, you can have a
savory meal out of it.
Best way of extending meat when
there's little enough of that is by
using vegetables generously. Cut off
what pieces of meat you can find on
the bone and combine these with
some lovely, fresh-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, onions,
potatoes and perhaps a few strips
of green pepper for flavor. Combine all together with some of your
favorite seasonings and tuck the
whole mixture into these individual
meat pies. In this way, your leftovers won't languish in the refrigerator.

Lynn Says:
Tips on Keeping Cool: Acting
cool and thinking cool actually
works a magic in making you
cool. It's important to plan your
day ahead so that it runs smoothly and so there will be a minimum of confusion-for that always makes weather hotter.
Dress cool, eat cool. Dress sensibly, keeping plenty of clean
summer clothes on hand-things
that can be done up with soap and
water in a hurry and need little
ironing. Crispy salads-even in
the imagination-cool you off, and
of course, frosty drinks.
Do your hot kitchen work in
the cool morning hours. Make
whatever preparations you can on
the food front and store in the
refrigerator, ready to pull out for
dinner with a minimum of rush
::md hurry. Keep things simple,
and you'll keep cool.

Cuttings Often Root
Cuttings
of
green
growing
branches frequently root within a
few hours. Wood of the size of a
pencil usually is about right, although larger and smaller pieces
are used. Removing all leaves close
to the stem except two at the top
helps the cutting to get started, and
placing three-fourths or more of it
under ground helps form a root system.
Light summer pruning of shrubs
tends to check growth of twigs and
leaves, and aids the plant to form
a crop of fruit and flowers for next
spring. Pruning should include removal of dead or diseased limbs and
the cutting back-not too heavily
-of branches which are obstructing
other plants, or getting in the way
of pathways or windows.
Pruning below ground-if not done
too heavily - as well as above
ground, also encourages formation
of flowers and fruit, Miss Hatfield
says. This operation, called root
pruning, is performed by sinking a
sharp spade into the ground and cutting a portion of the root. This may
be done up to July 15. It may be
tried on healthy fruit trees and
shrubs which do not bloom as freely
as they should.
Curculios Feed on Fruit
Just after plums, cherries and
peaches are through blooming, th&lt;
plum curculio appears. This is a
small, hard-shelled beetle that scars
and deforms fruit and lays eggs that
hatch into grubs which feed inside
the fruit. Found in most orchards
east of the Rocky mountains, these
beetles have the habit of dropping
to the ground when disturbed. If a
canvas or sheet is placed beneath the
tree and the tree then jarred with
a padded pole or mallet, many of
the beetles can be caught and destroyed. Jarring is best done in the
cool of the morning when insects are
inactive.

bums and scalds are no doubt the
most common, but if you are using :
an electric washer don't forget about
the danger of shock. Wet hands and
wet floors, especially wet cement
floors, carry electricity almost as
readily as wires. Dry your hands j
thoroughly before touching a cord,
switch or other electric fixture.
Where damp floors increase the danger of shock, wear an ordinary pair
of rubbers or rubber-soled shoes for
the sake of safety.
It is a good plan to have your
electric washer grounded. This may •
be done by attaching a copper wire
to a bolt on the frame of the washer

and connecting it to a water pipe or

the ground wire without injury to
anyone touching the washer.
Be especially cautious in connecting the washer. If possible, make
the connection at a convenient outlet in the wall. If it is necessary to
plug it into a drop cord in the basement be sure that the socket is of
bakelite or porcelain. If in an emergency you have to make a connection from a metal socket-take no
chances-play safe by standing on a
dry rubber mat or a piece of dry
board while "plugging in" or turning
on the switch and always make sure
both the cord and your hands are
thoroughly dry.
Europe Popularized Spud
Russia, Germany, Poland and
their neighbors surrounding the Baltic sea led in bringing the potato to
its present popularity on the world's
dining tables. Although the United
States raises three bushels per capita-400 million bushels a year,
Europe and Great Britain normally grow nine-tenths of the world's
six-billion-bushel crop. Estonia, for
example, grows nearly a ton per
capita.
Europe's potatoes serve
widely in industry, in addition to supplying an estimated one-fourth of
human food conumption.
Starch, alcohol, flour, glucose and
livestock feeds from potatoes serve
the Nazi war machine. Germans
pioneered scientific food dehydration
in World War I, with the potato as
an important subject. Necessity has
mothered potato use in German industry that are undeveloped in United Nations countries. The potato
was credited with having enabled
the Germans to remain many extra
months in World War I. With added
industrial duties, it is hardly of less
importance to the Nazis in 1943.

Nitrogen Fertilizer
Up to now most of the fertilizer
used on the hay and pasture crops
has been superphosphate, or superphosphate and potash, and of course
a very large acreage has been I
limed. Up to date only a relatively
small amount of nitrogen has been
used on hay and pasture. Certainly I
it will pay to use more nitrogen on
these crops, but agronomists rather i
generally agree that nitrogen alone 1
cannot be used efficiently on soils
that are too low in phosphoric acid
and potash, or that are too acid.
The millions of acres of hay and
pasture land that have recently been
limed and fertilized with superphosphate or phosphate-potash fertiliz- I
ers will now respond profitably to
the use of nitrogen alone, as will
also other land that is in a good
state of fertility.

Prune Berry Bushes
For best results with rasp berries
and blackberries the bushes should
be summer-pruned by pinching or
cutting off the tops of the new shoots
when they reach a height of about
two feet.
Heading back will cause the plants ,
to grow into a tree-like form with
lateral branches instead of tall, unbranched canes that are easily
blown about or bent over by the
wind. Summer-pruning needs to be
done at weekly intervals for two or
three weeks.
All blackberries, black raspberries and purple raspberries need to
be tipped back. Red raspberries
should not be headed hack because
then they do not form lateral
branches readily but send up more
suckers from the roots. This is undesirable.

the other hand, it spreads apart the
fine particles of heavy clay soils,
which enlarges the pore spaces and
in that way improves drainage and
aeration.
Some of the materials most commonly used for building up the humus content of the soil arc well rotted manure (very difficult to obtain); peat moss; green manure
crops grown on the soil and spaded
under; and last but not least, composted material from a compost

Clean Pans to Prevent
Spoilage of Home Bread
Home-made bread, a delicious and
nutritious addition to any meal, has
a way of spoiling during summer
months. It often gets slimy and
ropy in the center of the loaf, and
away it goes into the garbage pail.
But this condition can be prevented. The ropiness, says the department of agricultur~, is caused by
certain bacteria, and the first thing
to do is to be sure the pans and
bread board are free of this bacteria. So boil all the utensils in a
mixture of 1 part vinegar to three
parts water.
If the next batch still turns ropy
and potato water has been used as
part of the liquid, omit the potato
water because that may be the thing
which is carrying the bacteria.
Then, too, if liquid yeast is being
used as a "starter," discard it and
make fresh yeast.
Then i:f the ropiness still persists,
add about two teaspoons of 90 grain
white vinegar to the next batch of
bread. This is sufficient for about
3 ~2 pounds of bread. If the batch
is smaller or larger, decrease or in
crease the vinegar in proportion.
Fertilizer Increases Pasture
Estimates made by the Nat:ona'
Fertilizer association, based on in
terviews with thousands of farmer,
and on study of experimental re
suits, indicate that on the averag
a ton of fertilizer used on pasturr
produces increased grazing equ iv.1
lent to 8,000 pounds of milk or l,00t
pounds of beef. A recent study by
the department of agriculture of 21l
state pasture experiments showo
that the association's estimates arc
conservative and that as an average
of the experiments studied, a ton of
complete fertilizer produced in·
creased grazing equal to 11,500
pounds of milk, or 1,400 pounds of
beef. Another study of 44 hay experiments indicates that a ton of
tertilizer used on hay produced 111creased yields P-quivalent to 6,400 c. f
milk or 770 poW1ds of beef.

Protect Drainage Soil
Drainageways in corn and soybean fields which suffer from erosion during rains may be protected
by sowing them to sudan grass according to soil conservatio~ists.
Farmers who failed to sow waterways to grass this spring or whose
seedings have not been successful
can seed 25 pounds of sudan grass
to the acre in any location where
a good seedbed can be prepared.
Sudan grass sown at this time of
year makes rapid growth and will
soon establish itself sufficiently to
hold the soil in the waterway. In
early fall the sudan should be
mowed for hay and a mixture of
equal parts of timothy and redtop
sown at_ the rate of 30 pounds an
acre. Care should be taken in working in this seed to disturb as little
as possible the sudan grass stubble
which will hold the soil until the other grasses can become established. '

For Good Sleep
For a good night's sleep on a hot
sultry night, be sure the bedsheets
are fastened taut over the mattress.
After the lower sheet has been
tucked in a!J a long one side of the
bed, tug it on the other side before
tucking it in. If pillow cases are
too large for the pillows use the
hospital trick of making them snug,
by folding in the slack along the

Snakes Don't Add Smartness
"Record has not been found in the
scientific medical literature concerning the treatment of insanity
with snake venom," the Journal of
the American Medical Association
says in response to a query.
A physician in Peru wrote the
Journal as follows:
"The bushmaster snake with neurotoxic (poisonous to nerve tissue)
venom is found in the jungles of
eastern Peru. At a mission on the
Perene river I saw a normal Indian
who had recovered from the bite and
who was said to be more intelligent
than previously. This is the usual
result. How does this compare with
the use of snake venom in the treatment o:f insanity?"
Regarding snake venom and intelligence, the Journal says: "One
snake dealer has been treated for
five different bites and his wife for
seven bites. Since they continue to
handle snake~ after being bitten fiw
and seven times respectively, this
se~ms to offer conclusive proof that
this veno~ has_ not given them any
excess of mtelhgence. There is no
evidence that the snake handlers in
carniv~ls appear to possess superior
mentality, and horses which are
used to make antiserum do not form
an especially happy looking lot."

, Rose Apples nave Vitamins
Rose apples have been found to
. be an excellent source of vitamin C.
Rose apples, or rose hips, are the
little red fruit of all roses.
A single rose apple contains about
10 milligrams of v,tamin C. Three
of these provide approximately as
much vitamin C as an orange.
Enough vitamin C for a day's needs
can be obtained from one tablespoon
of rose apple juice. Here is the way
to make it: Wash the fruit, cover
with water, boil 15 minutes, mash,
and strain through cloth. Sugar may
be added to the puree to make marmalade, if desired.

Porch rugs, and indoor rugs also,
get extra hard wear in the summer,
with dirt tracked in from gardens
and outdoor jobs. Sand and fine
gravel cut and destroy floor fabrics
if permitted to remain long underfoot. It pays to wash out your rugs
before this happens.
Rag rugs, braided rugs, and
chenille rugs may be put right into
the washing machine. A thorough
sudsing, a couple of rinsings,
through the wringer, then outdoors
into the fresh air to dry. A treatment like this makes them bright
and clean and new-looking.
Fiber rugs cannot be washed like
rag rugs. These must be kept flat
throughout the washing, rinsing, an
drying, and the minimum of water should be used. Rough treatment
cracks and breaks the fibers and
water-soaking discolors and warps
fiber rugs.
To clean rugs o:f this kind first
brush away as much dirt as passible. Then, scrub vigorously with
thick soapsuds. Rinse twice with a
clean cloth dipped in warm water
and allow to dry. If the fiber rug
is vc.ry soiled, a little ,household '.1mmoma may be put into the rinse
water.

fany gardeners prefer dusting to
spraymg for insect control because
it is much quicker and easier and
just about as effective. In dusting
the dry powder insecticide is blown
onto the plants. All the principal
ins cticidcs are available in dust
form, diluted to proper strength with
talc or other powder, ready to use.
One pound of dust covers as many
plont:-- as four gallons of liquid spray
weigring about 35 pounds; and a
good hand duster is cheaper, lighter anri cnsier to operate than an
equaliy satisfactory sprayer.
Best for the garden is a plunger
type hand duster of one, or preferably, two quarts capacity, equipped
with an extension tube and curved
nozzle. The large air pump and
dust chamber are needed to give
economical distribution of the dust
without clogging.
The extension
tube and curved "underleaf" nozzle
allow the operator to dust the under
surface of the leaves without stooping. Since the bean beetle and
many other pests live and feed
mainly on the underside of the
leaves, dusts must be applied there
as well as on top, to be effective.
Most dusters of less than one quart
capacity are satisfactory even for
small gardens. Shaker-top cans are
inefficient and wasteful.

SICILY:
Last Stand
Forty thousand Axis troops were
all that were left to stand between
the Allies and complete conquest of
Sicily as the last phase of the battle
developed. Of the 40,000, it was
estimated that 35,000 were German
and the rest Italian.
Although heavily outnumbered by
the IO Allied divisions reported in
action, the Axis relied on strong
natural entrenchments hewed into
the rugged mountains to hold up the
British-American drive.
The advance against these positions was
difficult, with the infantry slowly
picking its way up the craggy but
barren slopes in the face of stiff
mortar and machine gun nests
which had held their ground even
after fierce Allied artillery barrage.
After being stalled for two weeks
in front of Catania, the British 8th
army spilled into the city after overcoming strong Axis positions set up
along the several rivers winding
through the country and in the tall
fields of grain. Aided by the navy's
bombardment of the enemy's coastal positions along the Tyrrhenian
sea, the U.S. 7th army's drive pointed eastward to Messina, the Axis'
la.st communication link with the
Italian mainland.

for the time spent in traveling underground from the mine's entrance
to the diggings. Lewis told the WLB
that American coal miners are the
only miners in any civilized country
who receive no compensation for underground travel.
The agreement also calls for an
eight instead of a seven hour day
and a six-day work week, which,
with the underground travel pay,
would increase miners' daily checks
by $3. Stating that 1,482 miners
died from risks in the pits last year

GRAIN:
Going East
Six hundred million bushels of
corn were used during the second
quarter of 1943, the department of
agriculture reported, with supplies
as of July 1 totaling 872 million bushels. Of this amount, 842 million
bushels remained on farms.
As of July 1, the department stated that there was a supply of 290
million bushels of oats; over 200 million bushels of barley, and 46 million
bushels of rye. Approximately 300
million bushels of wheat were found
available for feed.
In relation to livestock, feed snpply is .reported to be 20 per cent
smaller than last year and 14 per

STRIKE
In the first test of the Smith-Connally law, l,OO!i employees of two

A total of 836 voted against a strike.

IMISCELLANY:

Definite Foreign Policy
Essential to America
The Issue: Shall Nation Adopt Policy of Participation in World Affairs or Shall We
Aim at Nationalistic Goal?
By BAUKHAGE
News Analy,t and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. C.
Today America faces its first real
problem as a world power.
Italy lies before us. General Eisenhower, as commander of the AJ.
lied forces of invasion, suddenly be•
comes a statesman. He is a soldier.
He can win battles. Now, he is the
man ultimately responsible for directing American world policy.
What is American world policy?
Eisenhower is firm in his deci·
sions, certain in his own procedure,
because he is responsible only to
his Commander-in-Chief.
But who is his Commander-in,
Chief? Roosevelt. A man who may

And then? Has America any firm
d b
t'
foreign policy, unfettere
Y par lsan political restriction, a clearmarked path that a fighting man or
any other man can follow'!
In a few short weeks from now, a
group of busy' hard-pressed men are
going to sit down on Mackinac island and try to write what American foreign policy they think ought
to be sponsored by the Republican
party.
These men have to face the question of committing the Republican
party to a definite foreign policy.
And paradoxically, by committing
their party to a definite foreign policy, they may free both political parties of all commitment on foreign
policy. For if the Democrats frame
similar resolutions, they can save
America from a vicious split-one
which, if it is not avoided, will crash
party lines and can destroy the twoparty system the rock of our democracy.
'
The issue which America faces is
simple: shall we, as a nation, underwrite a policy which will implement
our participation in world affairs or
shall we retire unto ourselves and
pursue the nationalistic policy which
says in effect: let the rest of the
world stew in its own juice?
Until we took the Philippines,
America was able to leave the great
and vital problems which should
have no political tinge, outside partisan politics. We have had other
problems which have remained essentially non-partisan.

The Problems
Take labor. A vital question. But
has labor ever voted solidly for one
ticket or the other? No. The AFL
will cast its traditional Republican
votes in the coming election as it always has. Some of the CIO members will vote to support the administration. Others will vote as they
darn please.
Slavery-really a labor que:stion.
That did nearly wreck the republic
because it was made a partisan
issue when it was not an issue at
all! Many of the influential southerners were just as ready to free their
slaves as the rabid abolitionists,
heated with emotional fervor, failing
to grasp the economic significance,
were to force them to.
Again, unless a cold, calm discussion and understanding of the question of foreign policy takes place,
we may face another split which,
although it need not mean civil war,
may mean a horrid dislocation of
our whole political system.
When we went into World War II
after Pearl Harbor, the word "isolationism" was forgotten. Today it
has come back into our vocabularies and is being batted about, like
other political footballs, by people
who really don't understand its implications and are woefully ignorant
of what dissension it may cause.
Politicians want to overlook it.
They can't. This group of Republicans, headed by Deneen Watson,
and a whole flying squadron of Democrats, too, are insistent that they
be allowed to "let the people know."
They are going to speak their
pieces. And the only hope of lifting
this discussion out of partisan politics is a "settlement out of court,"
an agreement by both parties on a
single foreign policy,
Let's get back to that hot and perspiring day in Washington late last
month when Deneeri Watson and
his collecl!Wes from this self-appointed Repu'Bhcan organization, the Republican "foreign policy association," walked across quiet Lafayette
park opposite the White House and

To the person who tried to be ob·

Mr. Spangler has one job-to keer:
the party together, to eschew an:y
favoritism for any policy or any per•

that fact rather than what his critics
said that indicated there was a lean·

tude, the desire to remain a purveyor of platitudes and follow the
tide rather th an to face it.
This issue-full participation in
world affairs versus a return to nationalism or isolationism, if you will
-is, according to our most earnes1
non-partisans, the most importan1
issue which has faced the public and
should not be a political football.

Unfortunately, personalities do gel

of the international view.
That is why it ls essential, if the
party is to take the issue out o1

He grinned at her and gave bet
hand a little squeeze.
"What have you been doing all
day?" he asked as soon as he could
get his vocal cords straightened out.
The way she got in a car, and the
way she sat in the corner slightly
facing him, with her knees crossed,
as if she didn't care where they
were going or if they went any place
at all, was something he always
waited for.
"I've been sight-seeing, and I
went to the Country Club for a swim
this afternoon."
"How's the story coming?"
"What story?"
"The story Hawley sent you down
to write."
Anne looked up at him in surprise. "Did he tell you?"
"No. You did." Pete grinned.
"I was pretty sure of it anyway."
"You're a pig, Captain Wilcox,"
Anne said. "As a matter of fact,
I seem to have forgotten all about
it. I'm glad you reminded me. Tell
me about the Falange."
"There isn't any. And if there
was, it's been written so many times
it's corny. I'll find you a story.
You spend your time at the Country
Club. It's cooler, and pleasanter."
"And you used to be so nice,"
Anne said wearily.
She hadn't paid any attention to
where they were going until Pete
turned down a narrow street lined
with cars, the sidewalks full of people standing aimlessly about. She
realized suddenly that she was going to Mallorquina ar~in. A sharp
unhappy feeling of not wanting to
go there with Pete just then did
something odd to her throat.
"You'll like this place," Pete said.
A man on the sidewalk motioned
him to an empty space and opened
the door.
"Local touch for that old louse
Hawley of The New York Chronicle, Miss Heywood," Pete remarked
taking her arm. "You give these
birds a nickel and they watch your
car all night. If you don't they cut
your tires, or so I'm told."
They were back again where she
and Miguel had been with the girl
watching them from across the
street. The table they'd sat at was
empty. Anne passed it quickly and
went to one in the corner under the
towering majolica vase. She sat
down and glanced around so she
wouldn't have to speak for a moment. It was funny how clear it had
all been-clearer than the present
moment by far. The nostalgic sentimental ballad a Mexican girl was
singing with the orchestra heightened it sharply for her. The room
was pleasantly crowded, gay and
noisy. That seemed to heighten it
too.
Pete looked at her, worried. He'd
thought she would like it, because
he did. And she wasn't herself at
all. He watched her eyes moving
around the room, and saw them
stop, darkening an instant as they
reached the bar. He looked around.
A man in a wrinkled white linen
suit was standing there, his back
to them. In the mirror Pete caught
a glimpse of his face. He had seen
them too, and turned to nod smilingly at Anne. His mouth reminded
Pete of a barracuda, thin and cruel
and fishy-white in the hard glare
reflected from the spotlight on the
chanteuse. His eyes were lost behind the thick lenses of his spectacles.
"That's your friend and shipmate
the eminent plumber, isn't it?" he
remarked.
"Sanitary engineer, Captain Wilcox," Anne retorted lightly, "And
tourist extraordinary."
She sipped her almond-flavored
daiquiri. "What do we eat?"
"Poella," Pete said. "It's everything they have in the sea with a
shell on it, mixed vp with rice and
beans and stuff. And a lobster cocktail. This is the first place I've
ever had all the lobster I could eat."
"What about Maine?"
"I've never been to Maine."
Mr. Taussig had moved around to
the end of the bar and was watching them. Pete could see him reflected in the mirrored pillar under
the clock.
"Tell me about Taussig, Anne,"
he said.
"I thought you knew everythingthat's what you told me."
"-Then she does know some•
thing," Pete thought. Maybe it
wasn't Valera after all.
"I saw your friend Miguel at the
meeting last night," he remarked.
He said it casually, to see how she'd
take it, but he hadn't expected her
to take it the way ~he did.
She looked at him blankly, her
lips parted a little, the color receding from her face. She put her
glass down.
"Miguel-at the Falange? Are you
sure, Pete?"
"It's not the Falange," he said.
"It's the Sociedad del Amigos de]
Estados Unidos."
"But you said last night-"
"I was just being funny."
"No, you weren't," she retorted.
The color had come back into her
face in two hot bright spots. "Look,
Pete. You've got to tell me. Do
you think-"
"I never think," Pete said placidly. "I'm in the Army. We're not
allowed to-"
"Stop it, Pete!"
Her voice was kw and tenrie. She
was leaning forward. her eyes wide,
and getting dark aud hot. "I',~ got
to know.''

THE LIFE OF MUSSOLINI

Mussolini wa., once a tramp. Now
he is twice a tramp. Forty years
ago he was thrown off a caboose in
Switzerland by railroad coppers. But
that time he was able to get up.
His father was a village blacksmith and Benito was born with a
bellows in his ml,uth. His dad had
biceps like iron bands in his arms
but Benito h:id them in his throat.
Papa Mussolini shoed horses but
Benito was no help. He would always try to talk a horse out of the
idea it needed shoes and convince it
that it would look better in patent
lea thcr boots.
Benito was supposed to shoo flies
but he preferred to outbuzz them.
He never cared for the anvil or
forge, finding it impossible to talk
into an anvil or play recordings of
his own voice in a forge. So he quit.
Pop, whose front name was Allesandro, also kept a saloon. This
proves there were always queer
ideas in the family. It is the only
recorded case where a blacksmith
alternately cried "Whoa!" "Back
up!" and "What'll you have?" with
no change of voice.
All this made the picture pretty
confusing in Benito's boyhood. He
would often find a teamster's horse
in the barroom saying: "I'll take a
cigar this time, pop" while the
teamster was entering the blacksmith shop on all fours and demanding drinks for everybody in the
house.
Natives love to tell about the time
when pop put a brassrail in the
smithy for the horses to stand on and
drew beer through a bellows in the
tavern.
Young Benito ran away to Switzerland. He started out with a quarter. No man ever went farther on
two-bits up to a recent Sunday afternoon.
He became a soapbox orator. Discovering that people were crazy
enough to think they knew what he
was talking about, he never stopped
talking. He became a newspaper
publisher. Benito ran his own pic•
tua-e in the paper and the sheet went
big because the public always goes
for funnies.
He fought in the World war, improving his diction by threatening
superior officers. After the war he
came out with a program for saving
Italy through a sust-e.ining radio program. It was the only case up to
that time of a man being his own
radio- artist and sponsor.
King Emmanuel thought it was a
premiere for an American movie
comedy and named Benito headman
before he found it wasn't all in fun.
It took him 21 years to correct the
mistake.
For 21 years he spoke only from
high altitudes and announced him•
self as a new Caesar with vitamins
and screeno prizes thrown in. Then
he met Hitler and everything went
black. And we don't mean blackshirt.
It is now reported he is thinking
of going back to the combination
blacksmith shop and saloon. It's a
long time since the homefolks have
seen a horse.

PRIVATE PURKEY ADOPTS
A CODE

I

Dear Mom-Well, I am now with
my old Pal, Moe. (Just say them
last two words over and think of a
city in Sicily and it will give you a
cue to where I am.) I can't come
right out and say where I am so you
will have to get it from hints. Like
when I wrote to tell Annie to keep
her big Trap closed it was a sort of
code to tell you I was in a place
called Trapani.
I guess we better agree on a code
to keep track of me from now on. It
will all have to be based on the
idea that I will be able to keep track
of where I am which is no easy
trick on account of we get rushed
around so fast in this globule war.
For instance, mom, if I write a lot
about mess you will know I am in
Messini and if I should write a letter
and talk a lot about a .insurance
company you will know J am near
Mt. Aetna. Catch on?
I am well and only had one close
ca:J in the invashun of Sicily. This
was when I ~ook four prisoners. A
Ji ttle later I decided to rele4se them
but they would not i-tand for it.
They became very qt.arrelsurn and
refused to !el me release them. I
had to call for help. I also had a
little row in one town when the natives started abusing us for arriying
too late. They had wanted to give
up 48 hours sooner.
It was all
straightened out when we exp;ained
our watches was slow.
Well, everything is going fine. I
hope you and dad are fine.
Your loving son, Oscar.

Man Follows Nature's

To nature's three traditional kingdoms, the animal, vegetable and

There is no conflict between the
natural and the synthetic. In fact,

When armored knights met, it&#13;
&#13;
was customary for each knight to&#13;
raise the visor of his helmet as a&#13;
means of identification. This gesture has come down through all&#13;
armies in the form of the salute.&#13;
Traditional, too, is the Army man's&#13;
preference for Camel cigarettes.&#13;
With men in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, actual&#13;
sales records in their service&#13;
stores show that Camel is the&#13;
favorite. It's one of the favorite&#13;
gifts with service men. And though&#13;
there are Post Office restrictions&#13;
on packages to overseas Army&#13;
men, you can still send Camels to&#13;

you still have a bit of meat left on&#13;
the bones, and if you fix it with an&#13;
eye to camouflage, you can have a&#13;
savory meal out of it.&#13;
Best way of extending meat when&#13;
there's little enough of that is by&#13;
using vegetables generously. Cut off&#13;
what pieces of meat you can find on&#13;
the bone and combine these with&#13;
some lovely, fresh-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, onions,&#13;
potatoes and perhaps a few strips&#13;
of green pepper for flavor. Combine all together with some of your&#13;
favorite seasonings and tuck the&#13;
whole mixture into these individual&#13;
meat pies. In this way, your leftovers won't languish in the refrigerator.&#13;

Tips on Keeping Cool: Acting&#13;
cool and thinking cool actually&#13;
works a magic in making you&#13;
cool. It's important to plan your&#13;
day ahead so that it runs smoothly and so there will be a minimum of confusion-for that always makes weather hotter.&#13;
Dress cool, eat cool. Dress sensibly, keeping plenty of clean&#13;
summer clothes on hand-things&#13;
that can be done up with soap and&#13;
water in a hurry and need little&#13;
ironing. Crispy salads-even in&#13;
the imagination-cool you off, and&#13;
of course, frosty drinks.&#13;
Do your hot kitchen work in&#13;
the cool morning hours. Make&#13;
whatever preparations you can on&#13;
the food front and store in the&#13;
refrigerator, ready to pull out for&#13;

sausage and meat loaves are low&#13;
in point value and that they go&#13;
further than the same quantity of&#13;
fresh meat? And, if you really like&#13;
a hot dish for a meal, that the oold&#13;
meats are equally delicious when&#13;
served hot? You'll like these suggestions:&#13;

DRIPPING FLUSH TANK&#13;
Question: Water drips from my&#13;
flush tank day and night. We are&#13;
told it is from condensation, for there&#13;
is.no leak. How can the dripping be&#13;
siopped?&#13;
Answer: Your water supply is ev·&#13;
idently very cold, so that the flush&#13;
tank becomes chilled; condensation&#13;
results when warm and damp air is&#13;
cooled by the contact. Usually, the&#13;
dripping will not last more than an&#13;
hour or two after each filling of&#13;
the tank, for the fresh tankful quickly loses its chill. If the dripping&#13;
continues, it is because of a leak in&#13;
l the tank by which the tankful of waPENNY SINGLETON&#13;
ter is kept at its low temperature.&#13;
The leak can be stopped by puttion. And anyone who encounters ting in a new inlet washer or rethousands of servicemen on leave pairing the outlet of the tank.&#13;

&#13;
Shocks on Wash Day&#13;
&#13;
Crete. Hlinoia&#13;
&#13;
Of all the casualties of washday,&#13;
burns and scalds are no doubt the&#13;
most common, but if you are using .1&#13;
an electric washer don't forget about&#13;
the danger of shock. Wet hands and j&#13;
wet floors, especially wet cement&#13;
floors, carry electricity almost as j&#13;
readily as wires. Dry your hands 1&#13;
thoroughly before touching a cord, 1&#13;
switch or other electric fixture .&#13;
Where damp floors increase the danger of shock, wear an ordinary pair&#13;
of rubbers or rubber-soled shoes for&#13;
the sake of safety.&#13;
It is a good plan to have your&#13;
electric washer grounded. This may •&#13;
be done by attaching a copper wire&#13;
to a bolt on the frame of the washer&#13;
AT MY HOME&#13;
and connecting it to a water pipe or&#13;
1 Block East, Block North of Stop Liebt&#13;
some other nearby "ground." Then,&#13;
any electric current that might, in&#13;
EDWARD BRUNS, Crete., Ill.&#13;
an er.1ergency, come in contact with&#13;
the frame, would carry off through ot"ftilit-to:-to:il«-to:«•««~«-tr•-««-«•«•••.,.&#13;
the ground wire without injury to&#13;
anyone touching the washer.&#13;
Be especially cautious in connectlog the washer. If possible, make&#13;
the connection at a convenient outlet in the wall. It it is necessary to&#13;
plug it into a drop cord in the basement be sure that the socket is of&#13;
bakelite or porcelain. If in an emergency you have to make a connection from a metal socket-take no&#13;
chances-play safe by standing on a&#13;
dry rubber mat or a piece of dry&#13;
board while "plugging in" or turning&#13;
on the switch and always make sure&#13;
both the cord and your hands are&#13;
thoroughly dry.&#13;

____&#13;
&#13;
Europe Popularized Spud&#13;
Russia, Germany, Poland and&#13;
their neighbors surrounding the Baltic sea led in bringing the potato to&#13;
its present popularity on the world's&#13;
dining tables. Although the United&#13;
States raises three bushels per capita-400 million bushels a year,&#13;
Europe and Great Britain normally grow nine-tenths of the world's&#13;
six-billion-bushel crop. Estonia, for&#13;
example, grows nearly a ton per&#13;
capita.&#13;
Europe's potatoes serve&#13;
widely in industry, in addition to supplying an estimated one-fourth of&#13;
human food conumption.&#13;
Starch, alcohol, flour, glucose and&#13;
livestock feeds from potatoes serve 1&#13;
the Nazi war machine. Germans 1&#13;
pioneered scientific food dehydration ·&#13;
in World War I, with the potato as 1&#13;
an important subject. Necessity has ,.&#13;
mothered potato use in German industry that are undeveloped in Unit- 1&#13;
ed Nations countr!j!s. The potato 'I&#13;
was credited with having enabled&#13;
the Germans to remain many extra&#13;
months in World War I. With added&#13;
industrial duties, it is hardly of less&#13;
importance to the Nazis in 1943.&#13;

Cuttings Often Root .&#13;
Cuttings&#13;
of&#13;
green&#13;
growing&#13;
branches frequently root within a&#13;
few hours. Wood of the size of a&#13;
pencil usually is . about right, although larger and smaller pieces&#13;
are used. Removing all leaves close&#13;
to the stem except two at the top&#13;
helps the cutting to get started, and&#13;
placing three-fourths or more of it&#13;
under ground helps form a root system.&#13;
Light summer pruning of shrubs&#13;
tends to check growth of twigs and&#13;
leaves, and aids the plant to form&#13;
a crop of fruit and flowers for next&#13;
spring. Pruning should include removal of dead or diseased limbs and&#13;
the cutting back-not too heavily&#13;
-of branches which are obstructing&#13;
other plants, or getting in the way&#13;
ot pathways or windows.&#13;
Pruning below ground-if not done&#13;
too heavily - as well as above&#13;
ground, also encourages formation&#13;
ol flowers and fruit, Miss Hatfield&#13;
says. This operation, called root&#13;
pruning, is performed by sinking a&#13;
sharp spade into the ground and cutting a portion of the root. This may&#13;
be done up to July 15. It may be&#13;
tried on healthy fruit trees and&#13;
shrubs which do not bloom as freely&#13;
as they should.&#13;
&#13;
Curculios Feed on Fruit&#13;
Just after plums, cherries and&#13;
peaches are through blooming, tht&#13;
plum curculio appears. This is a&#13;
small, hard-shelled beetle that scars&#13;
and deforms fruit and lays eggs that&#13;
hatch into grubs which feed inside&#13;
the fruit. Found in most orchards&#13;
east of the Rocky mountains, these&#13;
beetles have the habit of dropping&#13;
to the ground when disturbed. If a&#13;
canvas or sheet is placed beneath the&#13;
tree and the tree then jarred with&#13;
a padded pole or mallet, many of&#13;
the beetles can be caught and destroyed. Jarring is best done in the&#13;
cool of the morning when insects are&#13;
1inactive.&#13;

Booby Trap Detector&#13;
In the snow, in the sand, on the&#13;
beaches, on the roads, in the woods,&#13;
everywhere the Axis soldiers hide&#13;
"booby traps," to slow the movement of oncoming fighting men of&#13;
the United Nations. The detector&#13;
does the same work on land as the&#13;
mine sw~eper does at sea.&#13;

Like buying War Bonds, the soldier operating the detectors will&#13;
neifer know just how ·much they&#13;
have aided in the success of their&#13;
campaign, but he knows his work is&#13;
necessary \l,nd must be accomplished. If more Americans on the&#13;
home front will come to realize this,&#13;
the success of our War Bond campaigns will be assured.&#13;

Nitrogen, Fertilizer&#13;
Up to now most of the fertilizer&#13;
used on the hay and pasture crops&#13;
has been superphosphate, or super1&#13;
phosphate and potash, and of course ,&#13;
a very large acreage has been&#13;
limed. Up to date only a relatively&#13;
small amount of nitrogen has been&#13;
used on hay and pasture. Certainly&#13;
it will pay to use more nitrogen on&#13;
these crops, but agronomists rather&#13;
generally agree that nitrogen alone 1&#13;
cannot be used efficiently on soils&#13;
that are too low in phosphoric acid I&#13;
and potash, or that are too acid.&#13;
The millions of acres of hay and&#13;
pasture land that have recently been&#13;
limed and fertilized with superphosphate or phosphate-potash fertiliz- 1&#13;
ers will now respond profitably to 1&#13;
the use of nitrogen alone, as will&#13;
also other land that is in a good&#13;
state of fertility.&#13;

Prune Berry Bushes&#13;
For best results with raspberries&#13;
and blackberries the bushes should&#13;
be summer-pruned by pinching or&#13;
cutting off the tops of the new shoots&#13;
when they reach a height of about&#13;
two feet.&#13;
Heading back will cause the plants&#13;
to grow into a tree-like form with '&#13;
lateral branches instead of tall, unbranched canes that are easily&#13;
blown about or bent over by the&#13;
wind. Summer-pruning needs to be&#13;
done at weekly intervals for two or&#13;
three weeks.&#13;
All blackberries, black raspberries and purple raspberries need to&#13;
be tipped back. Red raspberries&#13;
should not be headed hack because&#13;
then they do not form lateral&#13;
branches readily but send up more&#13;
suckers from the roots. This is undesirable.&#13;

Expert Figures Amounts&#13;
Needed for Home Canning&#13;
An extension nutrition specialist at&#13;
the Pennsylvania State college, offers a few equations to show how&#13;
many cans the housewife mgy expect from fresh fruits and Victory&#13;
garden vegetables.&#13;
Snap beans-1 bushel (28 pounds)&#13;
cans 14 to 18 quarts, or 2 pounds&#13;
can one quart; lima beans-1 bushel&#13;
(before shelling) cans 6 to 8 quarts&#13;
or 4 to 5 pounds, unshelled, can 1&#13;
quart; beets-1 bushel (60 pounds)&#13;
cans 18 to 20 quarts, or 21,2 pounds&#13;
can 1 quart.&#13;
Berries, except strawberries-!&#13;
crate (24 quarts) cans 18 quarts, or&#13;
llh to· 2 quarts can 1 quart; carrots1 bushel (50 pounds) cans 17 to 20&#13;
quarts, or 2lh pounds can 1 quart;&#13;
cherries-1 bushel (56 pounds) or 1 ·&#13;
crate (24 quarts) cans 18 to 221&#13;
quarts, or 1lh quarts unpitted can&#13;
1 quart; greens-1 bushel (12 to 16 I&#13;
pounds) cans 5 to 7 quar~s, or 2 to 3&#13;
pounds can 1 quart.&#13;
These figures are only approximate, but they will give the housewife some indication of the quantities she may expect.&#13;

It Pays to Wash Rag,&#13;
Braided, Chenille Rugs&#13;
Porch rugs, and indoor rugs also,&#13;
get extra hard wear in the summer,&#13;
with dirt tracked in from gardens&#13;
and outdoor jobs. Sand and fine&#13;
gravel cut and destroy floor fabrics&#13;
if permitted to remain long underfoot. It pays to wash out your rugs&#13;
before this happens.&#13;
Rag rugs, braided rugs, and&#13;
chenille rugs may be put right into&#13;
the washing machine. A thorough&#13;
sudsing, a couple of rinsings,&#13;
through the wringer, then outdoors&#13;
into the fresh air to dry. A treatment like this makes them bright&#13;
and clean and new-looking.&#13;
Fiber rugs cannot be ..,washed like&#13;
rag rugs. These must be kept fiat&#13;
throughout the washing, rinsing, an&#13;
drying, and the minimum of water should be used. Rough treatment&#13;
cracks and breaks the fibers and&#13;
water-soaking discolors and warps&#13;
fiber rugs.&#13;
To clean rugs of this kind first&#13;
brush away as much dirt as passible. Then, scrub vigorously with&#13;
thick soapsuds. Rinse twice with a&#13;
clean cloth dipped in warm water&#13;
and allow to dry. If the fiber rug&#13;
is ve_ry soiled, a little .household ~mmama may be put mto the rmse&#13;
water.&#13;
&#13;
Clean Pans to Prevent&#13;
Spoilage of Home Bread&#13;
Home-made bread, a delicious and&#13;
nutritious addition to any meal, has&#13;
a way of spoiling during summer&#13;
months. It often gets slimy and&#13;
ropy in the center of the loaf, and&#13;
away it goes into the garbage pail.&#13;
But this condition can be prevented. The ropiness, says the department of agricultur~. is caused by&#13;
certain bacteria, and the first thing&#13;
to do is to be sure the pans and&#13;
bread board are free of this bacteria. So boil all the utensils in a&#13;
mixture of 1 part vinegar to three&#13;
parts wa~r.&#13;
If the next batch still turns ropy&#13;
and potato water has been used as&#13;
part of the liquid, omit the potato&#13;
water because that may be the thing&#13;
which is carrying the bacteria.&#13;
Then, too, if liquid yeast is being&#13;
used as a "starter," discard it and&#13;
make fresh yeast.&#13;
Then if the ropiness still persists,&#13;
add about two teaspoons of 90 grain&#13;
white vinegar to the next batch of&#13;
bread. This is sufficient for about&#13;
31,2 pounds of bread. If the batch&#13;
is smaller or larger, decrease or in&#13;
crease the vinegar in proportion.&#13;
Fertilizer Increases Pasture&#13;
Estimates made by the Nationa'&#13;
Fertilizer association; based on in&#13;
terviews with thousands of farmer'&#13;
and on study of experimental re&#13;
sults, indicate that on the averagn&#13;
a ton of fertilizer used on pasture·&#13;
produces increased grazing equiv:1&#13;
lent to 8,000 pounds of milk or 1,OOc&#13;
pounds of beef. A recent study by&#13;
the department of agriculture of 2t1&#13;
state pasture experiments shows&#13;
that the association's estimates an&#13;
conservative and that as an average&#13;
of the experiments studied. a ton of&#13;
complete fertilizer produced increased grazing equal to 11,500&#13;
pounds of milk, or 1,400 pounds of&#13;
beef. Another study of 44 hay experiments indicates that a ton of&#13;
fertilizer used on hay produced increased yields equivalent to 6,400 c.~&#13;
milk or 770 pounds of beef.&#13;
Plant Food&#13;
Soils deficient in humus may, according to their composition, be either too heavy or too light for satisfactory plant growth, due to faulty&#13;
drainage and aeration. In a sandy&#13;
eoi.l, l}umus binqs the particles of&#13;
&#13;
soil closer to!,tlher, thus nduciP,-::&#13;
th~ rapid drainage and aeration; on&#13;
the other hand, it spreads apart the&#13;
fine particles of heavy clay soils,&#13;
which enlarges the pore spaces and&#13;
in that way improves drai1:age and&#13;
aeration.&#13;
Some of the materials most commonly used for building up the humus content of the soil are well rotted manure (very difficult to obtain); peat moss; green manure&#13;
crops grown on the soil and spaded&#13;
under; and last but not least, composted material from a compost&#13;
pile.&#13;
, Rose Apples Have Vitamins&#13;
Rose apples have been found to&#13;
. be an excellent source of vitamin C.&#13;
Rose apples, or rose hips, are the&#13;
little red fruit of all roses.&#13;
A single rose apple contains abou•&#13;
10 milligrams of vitamin C. Three&#13;
of these provide approximately as&#13;
much vitamin C as an orange.&#13;
Enough vitamin C for a day's needs&#13;
can be obtained from one taqlespoon&#13;
of rose apple juice. Here is the way&#13;
to make it: Wash the fruit, cover&#13;
with water, boil 15 minutes, mash,&#13;
and strain through cloth. Sugar may&#13;
be added to the puree to make marmalade, if desired.&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
For Good Sleep&#13;
For a good night's sleep on a hot&#13;
sultry night, be sure the bedsheets&#13;
are fastened taut over the mattress.&#13;
After the lower sheet has been&#13;
tucked in all along one side of the&#13;
bed, tug it on the other side before&#13;
tucking it in. If pillow cases are&#13;
too large for the pillows use the&#13;
hospital trick of making them snug,&#13;
by folding in the slack along the&#13;
bottom edge of the case. It makes&#13;
a sort of inverted pleat and at the&#13;
same time gives a nice smooth fit.&#13;
Clean, fresh sheets and pillow cases&#13;
add to the cc.mfort and the coolness.&#13;

Protect Drainage Soil&#13;
Drainageways in corn and soybean fields which suffer from erosion during rains may be protected&#13;
by sowing them to sudan grass according to soil conservatio~ists.&#13;
Farmers who failed to sow waterways to grass this spring or whose&#13;
seedings have not been successful&#13;
can seed 25 pounds of sudan grass&#13;
to the acre in any location where&#13;
a good seedbed can be prepared.&#13;
Sudan grass sown at this time of&#13;
year makes rapid growth and will&#13;
soon establish itself sufficiently to&#13;
hold the soil in the waterway. In&#13;
early fall the sudan should be&#13;
mowed for hay and a mixture of&#13;
equal parts of timothy and redtop&#13;
sown at the rate of 30 pounds an&#13;
acre. Care should be taken in working in this seed to disturb as little&#13;
as possible the sudan grass stubble&#13;
which will hold the soil until the other grasses can become established. '&#13;

Spanish Argentina. Originally discovered by the Spanish in 1516 the&#13;
Indians resisted white men's s~ttle­&#13;

gradually the Spaniards built cities&#13;
and the country developed much a~&#13;

CONSUMPTION.&#13;
&#13;
RUSSIA:&#13;
Offensive Climax&#13;
&#13;
Forty thousand Axis troops were&#13;
all that were left to stand between&#13;
the Allies and complete conquest of&#13;
Sicily as the last phase of the battle&#13;
developed. Of the 40,000, it was&#13;
estimated that 35,000 were German&#13;
and the rest Italian.&#13;
Although heavily outnumbered by&#13;
the 10 Allied divisions reported in&#13;
action, the Axis relied on strong&#13;
natural entrenchments hewed into&#13;
the rugged mountains to hold up the&#13;
British-American drive.&#13;
The advance against these positions was&#13;
difficult, with the infantry slowly&#13;
picking its way up the craggy but&#13;
barren slopes in the face of stiff&#13;
mortar and machine gun nests&#13;
which had held their ground even&#13;
after fierce Allied artillery barrage.&#13;
After being stalled for two weeks&#13;
in front of Catania, the British 8th&#13;
army spilled into the city after overcoming strong Axis positions set up&#13;
along the several rivers winding&#13;
through ~he country and in the tall&#13;
fields of grain. Aided by the navy's&#13;
bombardment of the enemy's coastal positions along the Tyrrhenian&#13;
sea, the U. S. 7th army's drive pointed eastward to Messina, the Axis'&#13;
l~st communication link with the&#13;
Italian mainland.&#13;
&#13;
With the value of all farm land&#13;
now above World War I level, government officials were becoming&#13;
anxious over the possibility of another realty boom which would collapse with a disastrous drop in&#13;
prices as in the twenties.&#13;
Between March and July of this&#13;
year, farm real estate rose another&#13;
3 per cent. The increase occurred&#13;
throughout all of the geographical&#13;
regions and in two-thirds of the&#13;
states. In Indiana, farm property&#13;
sold 40 per cent above the 1935-39&#13;
average.&#13;
With commodity prices up onefourth within the last 12 months and&#13;
farm income for 1943 expected to&#13;
exceed 1942's record levels, farmers&#13;
were said to be active buyers in the&#13;
market. What with high commodity&#13;
prices prevailing, speculators also&#13;
were supposed to be purchasing&#13;
property for resale.&#13;
&#13;
The height of the Russians' summer offensive was reached with the&#13;
fall of Orel. After&#13;
a month of hard&#13;
fighting, Marshal&#13;
Timoshenko's&#13;
forces swept into&#13;

Definite Foreign Policy&#13;
Essential to America&#13;
The Issue: Shall Nation Adopt Policy of Participation in World Affairs or Shall We&#13;
Aim at Nationalistic Goal?&#13;
By BAUKHAGE&#13;
News Analyse and Commentator.&#13;
&#13;
WNU Senice, Union Trust Building&#13;
Washington, D. C.&#13;
Today America faces its first real&#13;
problem as a world power.&#13;
Italy lies before us. General Eisenhower, as commander of the AIlied forces of invasion, suddenly becomes a statesman. He is a soldier.&#13;
He can win battles. Now, he is the&#13;
man ultimately responsible for directing American world policy.&#13;
What is American world policy?&#13;
Eisenhower is firm in his decisions, certain in his own procedure.&#13;
because he is responsible only to&#13;
his Commander-in-Chief.&#13;
But who is his Commander-inChief? Roosevelt. A man who may&#13;
suddenly leave the scene in the&#13;
midst of battle, if the American publie so decrees.&#13;
And then? Has America any firm&#13;
d b&#13;
f&#13;
foreign policy, unfettere&#13;
Y par Isan political restriction, a clearmarked path that a fighting man or&#13;
any other man can follow?&#13;
In a few short weeks from now, a&#13;
g roup of busy, hard-pressed men are&#13;
going to sit down on Mackinac island and try to write what American foreign policy they think ought&#13;
to be sponsored by the Republican&#13;
party.&#13;
These men have to face the question of committing the Republican&#13;
party to a definite foreign policy.&#13;
And paradoxically, by committing&#13;
their party to a definite foreign policy' they may free both political parties of all commitment on foreign&#13;
policy. For if the Democrats frame&#13;
similar resolutions, they can save&#13;
America from a vicious split-one&#13;
which if it is not avoided will crash&#13;
party 'lines and can destr~y the twoparty system the rock of our democracy.&#13;
'&#13;
The issue which America faces is&#13;
simple: shall we, as a nation, underwrite a policy which will implement&#13;
our participation in world affairs or&#13;
shall we retire unto ourselves and&#13;
pursue the nationalistic policy which&#13;
says in ~ff~ct: let th~ .r est of the&#13;
world stew m 1ts own JUice?&#13;
Until we took the Philippines,&#13;
America was able to leave the great&#13;
and vital problems which should&#13;
have no political tinge, outside partisan politics. We have had other&#13;
problems which have remained essentially non-partisan.&#13;
&#13;
The Problems&#13;
Take labor. A vital question. But&#13;
has labor ever voted solidly for one&#13;
ticket or the other? No. The AFL&#13;
will cast its traditional Republican&#13;
votes in the coming election as it always has. Some of the CIO members will vote to support the administration. Others will vote as they&#13;
darn please.&#13;
Slavery-really a labor question.&#13;
That did nearly wreck the republic&#13;
because it was made a partisan&#13;
issue when it was not an issue at&#13;
all! Many of the influential southerners were just as ready to free their&#13;
slaves as the rabid abolitionists,&#13;
h eated with emotional fervor, failing&#13;
to grasp the economic significance,&#13;
were to force them to.&#13;
Again, unless a cold, calm discussion and understanding of the question of foreign policy takes place,&#13;
we may face another split which.&#13;
although it need not mean civil war,&#13;
may mean a horrid dislocation of&#13;
our whole political system.&#13;
When we went into World War II&#13;
after Pearl Harbor, the word "isolationism" was forgotten. Today it&#13;
has come back into our vocabularies and is being batted about, like&#13;
other political footballs, by people&#13;
who really don't understand its implications and are woefully ignorant&#13;
of what dissension it may cause.&#13;
Politicians want to overlook it.&#13;
They can't. This group of Republicans, headed by Deneen Watson,&#13;
and a whole flying squadron of Democrats, too, are insistent that they&#13;
be allowed to "let the people know."&#13;
They are going to speak their&#13;
pieces. And the only hope of lifting&#13;
this discussion out of partisan politics is a "settlement out of court,"&#13;
an agreement by both parties on a&#13;
single foreign policy.&#13;
Let's get back to that hot and perspiring day in Washington late last&#13;
month when Deneen Watson and&#13;
his colle:;jgues from this sel:f-appointed RepuB~ican organization, the Republican "foreign policy association," walked across quiet Lafayette&#13;
park opposite the White House and&#13;
&#13;
GAS&#13;
Production of gasoline and other&#13;
petroleum derivatives can be increased by recovering oil now left&#13;
u1 wells, and by processing natural&#13;
gas, oil sands and shales, Dr. Gustav&#13;
E gloff, renowned scientist, told a&#13;
joint congressional committee.&#13;
He urged governmental aid in de·&#13;
veloping synthetic gasoline methods.&#13;
but added th a t he did not think that&#13;
making gasoline from coal was ad·&#13;
visabiP. immediately. He saJd tha&#13;

It was some time before the re·&#13;
&#13;
suits of this meeting between Wat·&#13;
son and his colleagues and Chair·&#13;
man Spangler of the Republican na·&#13;
tiona! committee leaked out. Those&#13;
with an anti-Republican slant, wove&#13;
the words dropped into a threat·&#13;
ened split in the Republican party' a&#13;
drive to nominate Wendell Willkie&#13;
for president.&#13;
To the person who tried to be ob·&#13;
jective, it was neither.&#13;
Mr. Spangler has one job-to kee]:&#13;
the party together, to eschew any&#13;
favoritism for any policy or any per&#13;
son. Naturally, these persistent per·&#13;
sons who called upon him were pre·&#13;
senting a problem. I believe it was&#13;
that fact rather than what his critic~&#13;
said that indicated there was a lean·&#13;
ing toward the "status quo" atti·&#13;
tude, the desire to remain a pur·&#13;
veyor of platitudes and follow the&#13;
tide rather than to face it.&#13;
This issue-full participation in&#13;
world affairs versus a return to na·&#13;
tionalism or isolationism, if you wiD&#13;
-is, according to our most earnest&#13;
non-partisans, the most important&#13;
issue which has faced the public and&#13;
should not be a political football.&#13;
Briefly, what the men with theix&#13;
sleeves rolled up at Mackinac in&#13;
September have to face is this:&#13;

mixed up in these things and Wen·&#13;
dell Willkie has become the symbol&#13;
of the international view.&#13;
That is why it is essential, if the&#13;
party is to take the issue out ol&#13;
partisan politics and disassociate it&#13;
from any of the individuals aspiring&#13;
for the Republican candidacy that&#13;
they must go on record.&#13;

&#13;
RUBBER&#13;
&#13;
Walter Lippmann has written a&#13;
book called "American Foreign Policy" and the point he makes is this:&#13;
until 1900, politics did stop at the&#13;
water's edge. We had a foreign&#13;
Scientists have found that rubpolicy (or thought we did) which&#13;
ber is the only substance that&#13;
can be stretched tremendouswas the Monroe Doctrine. Accordly and resume approximately&#13;

Its original form. Too much&#13;
under a delusion. Namely, that we&#13;

the Philippines. But we didn't provide the means to hold them. And&#13;
so, disagreeing on the various steps&#13;
necessary to carry out our foreign&#13;
policy, we failed to provide the&#13;
means to do so-Britain was busy&#13;
elsewhere, and one morning we lost&#13;
the Philippines and came within an&#13;
eyelash of losing Hawaii.&#13;
And so we now face the necessity&#13;
of framing a new foreign policy&#13;
which must include the willingness&#13;
to provide security for our own&#13;

now a u. s. Army intelligence officer;&#13;
Miguel Valera, a Puerto Rican educated&#13;
In the UnJted States whose orders to re·&#13;
port to an army camp were abruptly can·&#13;
celled; Richard Taussig, an engineer&#13;
whose Identity as a German agent Is&#13;
suspected but not yet proved; and Russell&#13;
Porter, a young American engineer, and&#13;
hls wife, Sue. Walking through the streets&#13;
of San Juan, Anne bas a feeling she Is&#13;
beln~; followed.&#13;
Now she bas Just met&#13;
Miguel Valera.&#13;
&#13;
CHAPTER IX&#13;
Ann~ sipped the cool frosted daiquiri subtly blended with almond and&#13;
rum that the waiter had put in front&#13;
Qf them as soon as they sat down.&#13;
"Miguel," she said suddenly.&#13;
"-How strong is the Falange&#13;
here?"&#13;
He glanced at her calmly.&#13;
"It's been disbanded. Why do you&#13;
ask?"&#13;
"I was just wondering. Was your&#13;
father a member of it?"&#13;
"Most of the Spanish people here&#13;
were."&#13;
"Were you?"&#13;
"I'm not Spanish-I'm Puerto Rican," he said with a smile. "What&#13;
would you like to eat? You'd better&#13;
get used to Spanish food gradually.&#13;
What about some chicken soup and&#13;
an omelette? I don't want you to&#13;
have a stomach ache-or to get fat."&#13;
Anne could not tell when she first&#13;
became aware of the woman in the&#13;
black dress on the other side of the&#13;
street.&#13;
She was standing in front of a shop&#13;
window, looking at them through the&#13;
open arcade. Her eyes met Anne's&#13;
now, and held them so intently that&#13;
there was no possibility of being unaware of her any longer. It was&#13;
not a hostile interest exactly, but it&#13;
was not friendly in any sense. And&#13;
most of the glances she'd met on&#13;
the street had been very friendly&#13;
indeed-heart-warmingly so, as a&#13;
matter of fact.&#13;
"The people of Puerto Rico are&#13;
extremely loyal to the United&#13;
States," Miguel was saying. "Independence isn't a burning issue, not&#13;
now. Statehood, or some kind of dominion status-"&#13;
"Miguel!" She interrupted him&#13;
abruptly. "-Who is that girl across&#13;
the street?"&#13;
She realized at the same time&#13;
that she didn't want to know, and&#13;
that it was too late. He was turning&#13;
around. Her heart died slowly. Why&#13;
couldn't she have been a woman of&#13;
the world? Or Latin .&#13;
&#13;
Pete Wilcox sat in the office of&#13;
the Assistant Chief of Staff, G 2, at&#13;
the General Headquarters of the&#13;
Puerto R1can Department. He wondered what the shades of the cowled&#13;
monks who had read their breviaries&#13;
and told their beads along the cool&#13;
interior galleries would think if they&#13;
knew. It didn't look much like a&#13;
monastery now, with the clerical&#13;
force trooping out and the staff officers and uniformed soldiers closing&#13;
up for the day. He looked at the&#13;
dock. He was waiting .for Colonel&#13;
Fletcher to get back from a meeting with the local representative of&#13;
the F. B. I.&#13;
He hadn't talked to Anne all day.&#13;
She was out the three times he'd&#13;
called. The message in front of him,&#13;
that she'd meet him at the Granada&#13;
at seven, was cold comfort, but it&#13;
was comfort all the same. He&#13;
couldn't get her out of his head.&#13;
He lit a cigarette and opened the&#13;
paper folder stamped "SECRET."&#13;
There were two new items to go&#13;
in it.&#13;
One was brought in at&#13;
noon by a taxi-driver, the other later by a ragged urchin who sold&#13;
papers and lottery tickets. The&#13;
whole thing was a good collection&#13;
for less than three days, Pete&#13;
thought grimly. If it weren't for&#13;
Anne. Her face was there in the&#13;
folder, looking up at him, wide-eyed&#13;
and wilful . . . and very precious.&#13;
"I'm going bats," he thought. He&#13;
picked up the two sheets of cheap&#13;
tablet paper. He was sick of all the&#13;
spying ferrets, slinking around, reporting every move people made.&#13;
Pete lit a cigarette. He heard Colonel Fletcher's quick firm tread coming along the gallery. He put the&#13;
cigarette down and started to get&#13;
up.&#13;
"Sit down," Colonel Fletcher said.&#13;
"Or bring that stuff and come in&#13;
my office."&#13;
He hung up his sun helmet and&#13;
put his swagger stick on the chair.&#13;
"What about a couple of weeks'&#13;
l4:ave, while Miss Heywood is here,&#13;
Wilcox?" he said. He sat down&#13;
at his desk and looked up pleasantly. "There are plenty of us to&#13;
carry on."&#13;
For an instant Pete's face brightened as if he were six and had&#13;
been given a toy plane that flew.&#13;
Then he shook his head.&#13;
"Thanks a lot, sir. I'd rather wait&#13;
till later, if it's all right with you."&#13;
Just offhand he couldn't remember when he'd made a decision so&#13;
totally opposed to his own best interests. If it hadn't been for the&#13;
folder in his hand he wouldn't have&#13;
made it. If he went on leave he&#13;
would be out of touch with what&#13;
'"'\S going on.&#13;
If he stayed on the&#13;
job, maybe he'd be able to soften&#13;

Colonel Fletcher looked at him.&#13;
&#13;
He had the idea for a moment of&#13;
He grinned at her and gave her&#13;
ordering him to take it anyway, and hand a little squeeze.&#13;
giving a little sound advice while he&#13;

where they were going until Pete&#13;
"Miguel Valera visited the house turned down a narrow street lined&#13;

Grande," Pete said. "They live in something odd to her throat.&#13;
"You'll like this place," Pete said.&#13;
A man on the sidewalk motioned&#13;
him to an empty space and opened&#13;
the door.&#13;
''Local touch for that old louse&#13;
Hawley of The New York Chronicle, Miss Heywood," Pete remarked&#13;
taking her arm. "You give these&#13;
birds a nickel and they watch your&#13;
car all night. If you don't they cut&#13;
your tires, or so I'm told."&#13;
They were back again where she&#13;
and Miguel had been with the girl&#13;
watching them from across the&#13;
street. The table they'd sat at was&#13;
empty. Anne passed it quickly and&#13;
went to one in the corner under the&#13;
towering majolica vase. She sat&#13;
down and glanced around so she&#13;
wouldn't have to speak for a moment. It was funny how clear it had&#13;
all been-clearer than the present&#13;
moment by far. The nostalgic sentimental ballad a Mexican girl was&#13;
singing with the orchestra heightened it sharply for her. The room&#13;
was pleasantly crowded, gay and&#13;
noisy. That seemed to heighten it&#13;
too.&#13;
Pete looked at her, worried. He'd&#13;
thought she would like it, because&#13;
he did. And she wasn't herself at&#13;
all. He watched her eyes moving&#13;
around the room, and saw them&#13;
stop, darkening an instant as they&#13;
reached the bar. He looked around .&#13;
A man in a wrinkled white linen&#13;
suit was standing there, his back&#13;
to them. In the mirror Pete caught&#13;
a glimpse of his face. He had seen&#13;
them too, and turned to nod smiling"Who is that girl across the ly at Anne. His mouth reminded&#13;
Pete of a barracuda, thin and cruel&#13;
street?"&#13;
and fishy-white in the hard glare&#13;

"That's your friend and shipmate&#13;

and ran through the other items filed remarked.&#13;

She sipped her almond-flavored&#13;

"He was there, all right. All the&#13;

Colonel Fletcher smiled. "May"What about Maine?"&#13;

"I've never been to Maine."&#13;
Then he said, "What about your&#13;

THE LIFE OF 1\IUSSOLINI&#13;
Mussolini wa.:; once a tramp. Now&#13;
he is twice a tramp. Forty years&#13;
ago he was thrown off a caboose in&#13;
Switzerland by railroad coppers. But&#13;
that time he was able to get up.&#13;
His father was a village blacksmith and Benito was born with a&#13;
bellows in his ml'Uth. His dad had&#13;
biceps like iron bands in his arms&#13;
but Benito h&lt;id them in his throat.&#13;
Papa Mussolini shoed horses but&#13;
Benito was no help. He would always try to talk a horse out of the&#13;
idea it needed shoes and convince it&#13;
that it would look better in patent&#13;
leather boots.&#13;
Benito was supposed to shoo flies&#13;
but he preferred to outbuzz them.&#13;
He never cared for the anvil or&#13;
forge, finding it impossible to talk&#13;
into an anvil or play recordings of&#13;
hi!; own voice in a forge. So he quit.&#13;
Pop, whose front name was Allesandro, also kept a saloon. This&#13;
proves there were always queer&#13;
ideas in the family. It is the only&#13;
recorded case where a blacksmith&#13;
alternately cried "Whoa!" "Back&#13;
up!" and "What'll you have?" with&#13;
no change of voice.&#13;
All this made the picture pretty&#13;
confusing in Benito's boyhood. He&#13;
would often find a teamster's horse&#13;
in the b&lt;:~rroom saying: "I'll take a&#13;
cigar this time, pop" while the&#13;
teamster was entering the blacksmith shop on all fours and demanding drinks for everybody in the&#13;
house.&#13;
Natives love to tell about the time&#13;
when pop put a brassrail in the&#13;
smithy for the horses to stand on and&#13;
drew beer through a bellows in the&#13;
tavern.&#13;
Young Benito ran away to Switzerland. He started out with a quarter. No man ever went farther on&#13;
two-bits up to a recent Sunday afternoon.&#13;
He became a soapbox orator. Discovering that people were crazy&#13;
enough to think they knew what he&#13;
was talking about, he never stopped&#13;
talking. He became a newspaper&#13;
publisher. Benito ran his own pictt.We in the paper and the sheet went&#13;
big because the public always goes&#13;
for funnies.&#13;
He fought in the World war, improving his diction by threatening&#13;
superior officers. After the war he&#13;
came out with a program for saving&#13;
Italy through a susH!ining radio program. It was the only case up to&#13;
that time of a man be.ing his own&#13;
radio- artist and sponsor.&#13;
King Emmanuel thought it was a&#13;
premiere for an American movie&#13;
comedy and named Benito headman&#13;
before he found it wasn't all in fun.&#13;
It took him 21 years to correct the&#13;
mistake.&#13;
For 21 years he spoke only from&#13;
high altitudes and announced him·&#13;
self as a new Caesar with vitamins&#13;
and screeno prizes thrown in. Then&#13;
he met Hitler and everything went&#13;
black. And we don't mean black·&#13;
shirt.&#13;
It is now reported he is thinking&#13;
of going back to the combination&#13;
blacksmith shop and saloon. It's a&#13;
long time since the homefolks have&#13;
seen a horse.&#13;

PRIVATE PURKEY ADOPTS&#13;

l&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mom-Well, I am now with&#13;
my old Pal, Moe. (Just say them&#13;
last two words over and think of a&#13;
city in Sicily and it will give you a&#13;
cue to where I am.) I can't come&#13;
right out and say where I am so you&#13;
will have to get it from hints. Like&#13;
when I wrote to tell Annie to keep&#13;
her big Trap closed it was a sort of&#13;
code to tell you I was in a place&#13;
called Trapani.&#13;
I guess we better agree on a code&#13;
to keep track of me frorr1 now on. It&#13;
will all have to be based on the&#13;
idea that I will be able to keep track&#13;
of where I am which is no easy&#13;
trick on account of we get rushed&#13;
around so fast in this globule war.&#13;
For instance, mom, if I write a lot&#13;
about mess you will know I am in&#13;
Messini and if I should write a letter&#13;
and talk a lot about a msurance&#13;
company you will know J am near&#13;
Mt. Aetna. Catch on?&#13;
I am well and only h:td one close&#13;
ca:l in the invashun of Sicily. This&#13;
was when I ~ook four prisoners. A&#13;
little later I decided to rele':lse them&#13;
but they would not i'tand for it.&#13;
They became very qt.arrelsum and&#13;
refused to let me release them. I&#13;
had to call for help. I also had a&#13;
little row in one town when the natives started abusing us for arrh·ing&#13;
too late. They had wanted to g1ve&#13;
up 48 hours sooner. It was all&#13;
straightened out when we exp~ained&#13;
our watches was slow.&#13;
Well, everything is going fine. I&#13;
hope you and dad are fine.&#13;
Your loving son, Oscar.&#13;

Man Follows Nature's&#13;

&#13;
To nature's three traditional king.&#13;

Products of this new fourth kingdom&#13;
supplement materials from nature's&#13;

There is no conflict between the&#13;
natural and the synthetic. In fact,&#13;

The use.ful heat produc-ed by an&#13;

You Can Stretch
Meats and Have
Delicious Meals

Leftovers need not recline on the
refrigerator shelf when you can
make them into delicious meat pies
like this, simply and easily. Use
leftovers from a roast with a few
fresh vegetables and gravy to tuck
inside the flaky piecrust.

Short on red points at the end of
the week? There are several answers to the problem and I'm devoting the column to those suggestions
today.
It's a good idea to be smart in
your use of leftovers, and this is

you still have a bit of meat left on
the bones, and if you fix it with an
eye to camouflage, you can have a
savory meal out of it.
Best way of extending meat when
there's little enough of that is by
using vegetables generously. Cut off
what pieces of meat you can find on
the bone and combine these with
some lovely, fresh-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, onions,
potatoes and perhaps a few strips
of green pepper for flavor. Combine all together with some of your
favorite seasonings and tuck the
whole mixture into these individual
meat pies. In this way, your leftovers won't languish in the refrigerator.
Making Meat Pies.

flour and ¾ teaspoon salt. Cut into

Lynn Says:
Tips on Keeping Cool: Acting
cool and thinking cool actually
works a magic in making you
cool. It's important to plan your
day ahead so that it runs smoothly and so there will be a minimum of confusion-for that always makes weather hotter.
Dress cool, eat cool. Dress sensibly, keeping plenty of clean
summer clothes on hand-things
that can be done up with soap and
water in a hurry and need little
ironing. Crispy salads-even in
the imagination-cool you off, and
of course, frosty drinks.
Do your hot kitchen work in
the cool morning hours. Make
whatever preparations you can on
the food front and store in the
refrigerator, ready to pull out for
dinner with a minimum of rush
::md hurry. Keep things simple,
and you'll keep cool.

Combine ingredients, add salt and

with bits of bacon.
Have you discovered that cold
sausage and meat loaves are low
in point value and that they go
further than the same quantity of
fresh meat? And, if you really like
a hot dish for a meal, that the cold
meats are equally delicious when
served hot? You'll like these suggestions:
Bologna Spaghetti.
(Serves 4)
½ pound bologna
% cup onion, sliced
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon cloves
;11 teaspoon pepper
1½ cups tomato juice
3 cups cooked spaghetti
Dice 2 slices of bologna in skillet
and brown with onion and bacon
drippings. Add to this seasonings
and tomato juice and simmer until
thickened. Add cooked spaghetti
and heat thoroughly. Serve with
several slices of pan-fried bologna.
•Broiled Liver Sausage and
Tomatoes (Serves 4).
;~ pound liver sausage, sliced
4 large tomatoes, cut in hall
8 slices of onion
Cut liver sausage into slices about
¼ inch thick. Remove casing. Place
the slice of liver
sausage on the
broiling pan with
tomatoes that
have been cut in
half and brushed
with butter, seasoned with salt
and pepper. Broil
for about 8 minutes. Liver sausage
need not be turned. As soon as tomatoes have broiled for about 4 minutes, top them w~th onion slices, if
desired.
Frankfurters With Potato Salad.
(Serves 4 to 6)
¼ cup bacon drippings
% cup vinegar
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
4 cups cubed, cooked potatoes

until thick. Cover frankfurters with
boiling water and allow to stand 7
to 8 minutes. Arrange frankfurters
on top of potato salad for serving.

Cuttings Often Root
Cuttings
of
green
growing
branches frequently root within a
few hours. Wood of the size of a
pencil usually is about right, although larger and smaller pieces
are used. Removing all leaves close
to the stem except two at the top
helps the cutting to get started, and
placing three-fourths or more of it
under ground helps form a root system.
Light summer pruning of shrubs
tends to check growth of twigs and
leaves, and aids the plant to form
a crop of fruit and flowers for next
spring. Pruning should include removal of dead or diseased limbs and
the cutting back-not too heavily
-of branches which are obstructing
other plants, or getting in the way
of pathways or windows.
Pruning below ground-if not done
too heavily - as well as above
ground, also encourages formation
of flowers and fruit, Miss Hatfield
says. This operation, called root
pruning, is performed by sinking a
sharp spade into the ground and cutting a portion of the root. This may
be done up to July 15. It may be
tried on healthy fruit trees and
shrubs which do not bloom as freely
as they should.
Curculios Feed on Fruit
Just after plums, cherries and
peaches are through blooming, th&lt;
plum curculio appears. This is a
small, hard-shelled beetle that scars
and deforms fruit and lays eggs that
hatch into grubs which feed inside
the fruit. Found in most orchards
east of the Rocky mountains, these
beetles have the habit of dropping
to the ground when disturbed. If a
canvas or sheet is placed beneath the
tree and the tree then jarred with
a padded pole or mallet, many of
the beetles can be caught and destroyed. Jarring is best done in the
cool of the morning when insects are
inactive.

bums and scalds are no doubt the
most common, but if you are using :
an electric washer don't forget about
the danger of shock. Wet hands and
wet floors, especially wet cement
floors, carry electricity almost as
readily as wires. Dry your hands j
thoroughly before touching a cord,
switch or other electric fixture.
Where damp floors increase the danger of shock, wear an ordinary pair
of rubbers or rubber-soled shoes for
the sake of safety.
It is a good plan to have your
electric washer grounded. This may •
be done by attaching a copper wire
to a bolt on the frame of the washer

and connecting it to a water pipe or

the ground wire without injury to
anyone touching the washer.
Be especially cautious in connecting the washer. If possible, make
the connection at a convenient outlet in the wall. If it is necessary to
plug it into a drop cord in the basement be sure that the socket is of
bakelite or porcelain. If in an emergency you have to make a connection from a metal socket-take no
chances-play safe by standing on a
dry rubber mat or a piece of dry
board while "plugging in" or turning
on the switch and always make sure
both the cord and your hands are
thoroughly dry.
Europe Popularized Spud
Russia, Germany, Poland and
their neighbors surrounding the Baltic sea led in bringing the potato to
its present popularity on the world's
dining tables. Although the United
States raises three bushels per capita-400 million bushels a year,
Europe and Great Britain normally grow nine-tenths of the world's
six-billion-bushel crop. Estonia, for
example, grows nearly a ton per
capita.
Europe's potatoes serve
widely in industry, in addition to supplying an estimated one-fourth of
human food conumption.
Starch, alcohol, flour, glucose and
livestock feeds from potatoes serve
the Nazi war machine. Germans
pioneered scientific food dehydration
in World War I, with the potato as
an important subject. Necessity has
mothered potato use in German industry that are undeveloped in United Nations countries. The potato
was credited with having enabled
the Germans to remain many extra
months in World War I. With added
industrial duties, it is hardly of less
importance to the Nazis in 1943.

has been superphosphate, or superphosphate and potash, and of course
a very large acreage has been I
limed. Up to date only a relatively
small amount of nitrogen has been
used on hay and pasture. Certainly I
it will pay to use more nitrogen on
these crops, but agronomists rather i
generally agree that nitrogen alone 1
cannot be used efficiently on soils
that are too low in phosphoric acid
and potash, or that are too acid.
The millions of acres of hay and
pasture land that have recently been
limed and fertilized with superphosphate or phosphate-potash fertiliz- I
ers will now respond profitably to
the use of nitrogen alone, as will
also other land that is in a good
state of fertility.

Prune Berry Bushes
For best results with rasp berries
and blackberries the bushes should
be summer-pruned by pinching or
cutting off the tops of the new shoots
when they reach a height of about
two feet.
Heading back will cause the plants ,
to grow into a tree-like form with
lateral branches instead of tall, unbranched canes that are easily
blown about or bent over by the
wind. Summer-pruning needs to be
done at weekly intervals for two or
three weeks.
All blackberries, black raspberries and purple raspberries need to
be tipped back. Red raspberries
should not be headed hack because
then they do not form lateral
branches readily but send up more
suckers from the roots. This is undesirable.

Expert Figures Amounts
Needed for Home Canning
An extension nutrition specialist at
the Pennsylvania State college, offers a few equations to show how
many cans the housewife may expect from fresh fruits and Victory
garden vegetables.
Snap beans-1 bushel (28 pounds)
cans 14 to 18 quarts, or 2 pounds
can one quart; lima beans-1 bushel
(before shelling) cans 6 to 8 quarts
or 4 to 5 pounds, unshelled, can 1
quart; beets-1 bushel (60 pounds)
cans 18 to 20 quarts, or 2½ pounds
can 1 quart.
Berries, except strawberries-1
crate (24 quarts) cans 18 quarts, or
1½ to'2 quarts can 1 quart; carrots1 bushel (50 pounds) cans 17 to 20
quarts, or 2½ pounds can I quart;
cherries-1 bushel (56 pounds) or 1
crate (24 quarts) cans 18 to
quarts, or l½ quarts unpitted can
1 quart; greens-I bushel (12 to 16
pounds) cans 5 to 7 quar~s. or 2 to 3
pounds can 1 quart.
These figures are only approxi-1
mate, but they will give the housewife some indication of the quantities she may expect.

the other hand, it spreads apart the

Clean Pans to Prevent
Spoilage of Home Bread
Home-made bread, a delicious and
nutritious addition to any meal, has
a way of spoiling during summer
months. It often gets slimy and
ropy in the center of the loaf, and
away it goes into the garbage pail.
But this condition can be prevented. The ropiness, says the department of agricultur~, is caused by
certain bacteria, and the first thing
to do is to be sure the pans and
bread board are free of this bacteria. So boil all the utensils in a
mixture of 1 part vinegar to three
parts water.
If the next batch still turns ropy
and potato water has been used as
part of the liquid, omit the potato
water because that may be the thing
which is carrying the bacteria.
Then, too, if liquid yeast is being
used as a "starter," discard it and
make fresh yeast.
Then i:f the ropiness still persists,
add about two teaspoons of 90 grain
white vinegar to the next batch of
bread. This is sufficient for about
3 ~2 pounds of bread. If the batch
is smaller or larger, decrease or in
crease the vinegar in proportion.
Fertilizer Increases Pasture
Estimates made by the Nat:ona'
Fertilizer association, based on in
terviews with thousands of farmer,
and on study of experimental re
suits, indicate that on the averag
a ton of fertilizer used on pasturr
produces increased grazing equ iv.1
lent to 8,000 pounds of milk or l,00t
pounds of beef. A recent study by
the department of agriculture of 21l
state pasture experiments showo
that the association's estimates arc
conservative and that as an average
of the experiments studied, a ton of
complete fertilizer produced in·
creased grazing equal to 11,500
pounds of milk, or 1,400 pounds of
beef. Another study of 44 hay experiments indicates that a ton of
tertilizer used on hay produced 111creased yields P-quivalent to 6,400 c. f
milk or 770 poW1ds of beef.

Protect Drainage Soil
Drainageways in corn and soybean fields which suffer from erosion during rains may be protected
by sowing them to sudan grass according to soil conservatio~ists.
Farmers who failed to sow waterways to grass this spring or whose
seedings have not been successful
can seed 25 pounds of sudan grass
to the acre in any location where
a good seedbed can be prepared.
Sudan grass sown at this time of
year makes rapid growth and will
soon establish itself sufficiently to
hold the soil in the waterway. In
early fall the sudan should be
mowed for hay and a mixture of
equal parts of timothy and redtop
sown at_ the rate of 30 pounds an
acre. Care should be taken in working in this seed to disturb as little
as possible the sudan grass stubble
which will hold the soil until the other grasses can become established. '

For Good Sleep
For a good night's sleep on a hot

are fastened taut over the mattress.
After the lower sheet has been
tucked in a!J a long one side of the
bed, tug it on the other side before
tucking it in. If pillow cases are
too large for the pillows use the
hospital trick of making them snug,
by folding in the slack along the

Snakes Don't Add Smartness
"Record has not been found in the
scientific medical literature concerning the treatment of insanity
with snake venom," the Journal of
the American Medical Association
says in response to a query.
A physician in Peru wrote the
Journal as follows:
"The bushmaster snake with neurotoxic (poisonous to nerve tissue)
venom is found in the jungles of
eastern Peru. At a mission on the
Perene river I saw a normal Indian
who had recovered from the bite and
who was said to be more intelligent
than previously. This is the usual
result. How does this compare with
the use of snake venom in the treatment o:f insanity?"
Regarding snake venom and intelligence, the Journal says: "One
snake dealer has been treated for
five different bites and his wife for
seven bites. Since they continue to
handle snake~ after being bitten fiw
and seven times respectively, this
se~ms to offer conclusive proof that
this veno~ has_ not given them any
excess of mtelhgence. There is no
evidence that the snake handlers in
carniv~ls appear to possess superior
mentality, and horses which are
used to make antiserum do not form
an especially happy looking lot."

, Rose Apples nave Vitamins
Rose apples have been found to
. be an excellent source of vitamin C.
Rose apples, or rose hips, are the
little red fruit of all roses.
A single rose apple contains about
10 milligrams of v,tamin C. Three
of these provide approximately as
much vitamin C as an orange.
Enough vitamin C for a day's needs
can be obtained from one tablespoon
of rose apple juice. Here is the way
to make it: Wash the fruit, cover
with water, boil 15 minutes, mash,
and strain through cloth. Sugar may
be added to the puree to make marmalade, if desired.

Porch rugs, and indoor rugs also,
get extra hard wear in the summer,
with dirt tracked in from gardens
and outdoor jobs. Sand and fine
gravel cut and destroy floor fabrics
if permitted to remain long underfoot. It pays to wash out your rugs
before this happens.
Rag rugs, braided rugs, and
chenille rugs may be put right into
the washing machine. A thorough
sudsing, a couple of rinsings,
through the wringer, then outdoors
into the fresh air to dry. A treatment like this makes them bright
and clean and new-looking.
Fiber rugs cannot be washed like
rag rugs. These must be kept flat
throughout the washing, rinsing, an
drying, and the minimum of water should be used. Rough treatment
cracks and breaks the fibers and
water-soaking discolors and warps
fiber rugs.
To clean rugs o:f this kind first
brush away as much dirt as passible. Then, scrub vigorously with
thick soapsuds. Rinse twice with a
clean cloth dipped in warm water
and allow to dry. If the fiber rug
is vc.ry soiled, a little ,household '.1mmoma may be put into the rinse
water.

It Pays to Wash Rag,

fany gardeners prefer dusting to
spraymg for insect control because
it is much quicker and easier and
just about as effective. In dusting
the dry powder insecticide is blown
onto the plants. All the principal
ins cticidcs are available in dust
form, diluted to proper strength with
talc or other powder, ready to use.
One pound of dust covers as many
plont:-- as four gallons of liquid spray
weigring about 35 pounds; and a
good hand duster is cheaper, lighter anri cnsier to operate than an
equaliy satisfactory sprayer.
Best for the garden is a plunger
type hand duster of one, or preferably, two quarts capacity, equipped
with an extension tube and curved
nozzle. The large air pump and
dust chamber are needed to give
economical distribution of the dust
without clogging.
The extension
tube and curved "underleaf" nozzle
allow the operator to dust the under
surface of the leaves without stooping. Since the bean beetle and
many other pests live and feed
mainly on the underside of the
leaves, dusts must be applied there
as well as on top, to be effective.
Most dusters of less than one quart
capacity are satisfactory even for
small gardens. Shaker-top cans are
inefficient and wasteful.

SICILY:
Last Stand
Forty thousand Axis troops were
all that were left to stand between
the Allies and complete conquest of
Sicily as the last phase of the battle
developed. Of the 40,000, it was
estimated that 35,000 were German
and the rest Italian.
Although heavily outnumbered by
the IO Allied divisions reported in
action, the Axis relied on strong
natural entrenchments hewed into
the rugged mountains to hold up the
British-American drive.
The advance against these positions was
difficult, with the infantry slowly
picking its way up the craggy but
barren slopes in the face of stiff
mortar and machine gun nests
which had held their ground even
after fierce Allied artillery barrage.
After being stalled for two weeks
in front of Catania, the British 8th
army spilled into the city after overcoming strong Axis positions set up
along the several rivers winding
through the country and in the tall
fields of grain. Aided by the navy's
bombardment of the enemy's coastal positions along the Tyrrhenian
sea, the U.S. 7th army's drive pointed eastward to Messina, the Axis'
la.st communication link with the
Italian mainland.

that American coal miners are the

who receive no compensation for underground travel.
The agreement also calls for an

Six hundred million bushels of
corn were used during the second

agriculture reported, with supplies
as of July 1 totaling 872 million bushels. Of this amount, 842 million
bushels remained on farms.
As of July 1, the department stated that there was a supply of 290
million bushels of oats; over 200 million bushels of barley, and 46 million
bushels of rye. Approximately 300

In relation to livestock, feed snpply is .reported to be 20 per cent

IMISCELLANY:

Definite Foreign Policy
Essential to America
The Issue: Shall Nation Adopt Policy of Participation in World Affairs or Shall We
Aim at Nationalistic Goal?
By BAUKHAGE
News Analy,t and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. C.
Today America faces its first real
problem as a world power.
Italy lies before us. General Eisenhower, as commander of the AJ.

comes a statesman. He is a soldier.
He can win battles. Now, he is the
man ultimately responsible for directing American world policy.
What is American world policy?
Eisenhower is firm in his deci·
sions, certain in his own procedure,
because he is responsible only to
his Commander-in-Chief.
But who is his Commander-in,
Chief? Roosevelt. A man who may

midst of battle, if the American publie so decrees.
And then? Has America any firm
d b
t'
foreign policy, unfettere
Y par lsan political restriction, a clearmarked path that a fighting man or
any other man can follow'!
In a few short weeks from now, a
group of busy' hard-pressed men are
going to sit down on Mackinac island and try to write what American foreign policy they think ought
to be sponsored by the Republican
party.
These men have to face the question of committing the Republican
party to a definite foreign policy.
And paradoxically, by committing
their party to a definite foreign policy, they may free both political parties of all commitment on foreign
policy. For if the Democrats frame
similar resolutions, they can save
America from a vicious split-one
which, if it is not avoided, will crash
party lines and can destroy the twoparty system the rock of our democracy.
'
The issue which America faces is
simple: shall we, as a nation, underwrite a policy which will implement
our participation in world affairs or
shall we retire unto ourselves and
pursue the nationalistic policy which
says in effect: let the rest of the
world stew in its own juice?
Until we took the Philippines,
America was able to leave the great
and vital problems which should
have no political tinge, outside partisan politics. We have had other
problems which have remained essentially non-partisan.

The Problems
Take labor. A vital question. But
has labor ever voted solidly for one
ticket or the other? No. The AFL
will cast its traditional Republican
votes in the coming election as it always has. Some of the CIO members will vote to support the administration. Others will vote as they
darn please.
Slavery-really a labor que:stion.
That did nearly wreck the republic
because it was made a partisan
issue when it was not an issue at
all! Many of the influential southerners were just as ready to free their
slaves as the rabid abolitionists,
heated with emotional fervor, failing
to grasp the economic significance,
were to force them to.
Again, unless a cold, calm discussion and understanding of the question of foreign policy takes place,
we may face another split which,
although it need not mean civil war,
may mean a horrid dislocation of
our whole political system.
When we went into World War II
after Pearl Harbor, the word "isolationism" was forgotten. Today it
has come back into our vocabularies and is being batted about, like
other political footballs, by people
who really don't understand its implications and are woefully ignorant
of what dissension it may cause.
Politicians want to overlook it.
They can't. This group of Republicans, headed by Deneen Watson,
and a whole flying squadron of Democrats, too, are insistent that they
be allowed to "let the people know."
They are going to speak their
pieces. And the only hope of lifting
this discussion out of partisan politics is a "settlement out of court,"
an agreement by both parties on a
single foreign policy,
Let's get back to that hot and perspiring day in Washington late last
month when Deneeri Watson and
his collecl!Wes from this self-appointed Repu'Bhcan organization, the Republican "foreign policy association," walked across quiet Lafayette
park opposite the White House and

To the person who tried to be ob·

Mr. Spangler has one job-to keer:
the party together, to eschew an:y
favoritism for any policy or any per•
son. Naturally, these persistenl per,
sons who called upon him were pre•

that fact rather than what his critics
said that indicated there was a lean·
ing toward the "status quo" atti•
tude, the desire to remain a purveyor of platitudes and follow the
tide rather th an to face it.
This issue-full participation in
world affairs versus a return to nationalism or isolationism, if you will
-is, according to our most earnes1
non-partisans, the most importan1
issue which has faced the public and
should not be a political football.

the international issue?
Unfortunately, personalities do gel
mixed up in these things and Wendell Willkie has become the symbol
of the international view.
That is why it ls essential, if the
party is to take the issue out o1

from any of the individuals aspiring
for the Republican candidacy, that
they must go on record.

He grinned at her and gave bet
hand a little squeeze.
"What have you been doing all
day?" he asked as soon as he could
get his vocal cords straightened out.
The way she got in a car, and the
way she sat in the corner slightly
facing him, with her knees crossed,
as if she didn't care where they
were going or if they went any place
at all, was something he always
waited for.
"I've been sight-seeing, and I
went to the Country Club for a swim
this afternoon."
"How's the story coming?"
"What story?"
"The story Hawley sent you down
to write."
Anne looked up at him in surprise. "Did he tell you?"
"No. You did." Pete grinned.
"I was pretty sure of it anyway."
"You're a pig, Captain Wilcox,"
Anne said. "As a matter of fact,
I seem to have forgotten all about
it. I'm glad you reminded me. Tell
me about the Falange."
"There isn't any. And if there
was, it's been written so many times
it's corny. I'll find you a story.
You spend your time at the Country
Club. It's cooler, and pleasanter."
"And you used to be so nice,"
Anne said wearily.
She hadn't paid any attention to
where they were going until Pete
turned down a narrow street lined
with cars, the sidewalks full of people standing aimlessly about. She
realized suddenly that she was going to Mallorquina ar~in. A sharp
unhappy feeling of not wanting to
go there with Pete just then did
something odd to her throat.
"You'll like this place," Pete said.
A man on the sidewalk motioned
him to an empty space and opened
the door.
"Local touch for that old louse
Hawley of The New York Chronicle, Miss Heywood," Pete remarked
taking her arm. "You give these
birds a nickel and they watch your
car all night. If you don't they cut
your tires, or so I'm told."
They were back again where she
and Miguel had been with the girl
watching them from across the
street. The table they'd sat at was
empty. Anne passed it quickly and
went to one in the corner under the
towering majolica vase. She sat
down and glanced around so she
wouldn't have to speak for a moment. It was funny how clear it had
all been-clearer than the present
moment by far. The nostalgic sentimental ballad a Mexican girl was
singing with the orchestra heightened it sharply for her. The room
was pleasantly crowded, gay and
noisy. That seemed to heighten it
too.
Pete looked at her, worried. He'd
thought she would like it, because
he did. And she wasn't herself at
all. He watched her eyes moving
around the room, and saw them
stop, darkening an instant as they
reached the bar. He looked around.
A man in a wrinkled white linen
suit was standing there, his back
to them. In the mirror Pete caught
a glimpse of his face. He had seen
them too, and turned to nod smilingly at Anne. His mouth reminded
Pete of a barracuda, thin and cruel
and fishy-white in the hard glare
reflected from the spotlight on the
chanteuse. His eyes were lost behind the thick lenses of his spectacles.
"That's your friend and shipmate
the eminent plumber, isn't it?" he
remarked.
"Sanitary engineer, Captain Wilcox," Anne retorted lightly, "And
tourist extraordinary."
She sipped her almond-flavored
daiquiri. "What do we eat?"
"Poella," Pete said. "It's everything they have in the sea with a
shell on it, mixed vp with rice and
beans and stuff. And a lobster cocktail. This is the first place I've
ever had all the lobster I could eat."
"What about Maine?"
"I've never been to Maine."
Mr. Taussig had moved around to
the end of the bar and was watching them. Pete could see him reflected in the mirrored pillar under
the clock.
"Tell me about Taussig, Anne,"
he said.
"I thought you knew everythingthat's what you told me."
"-Then she does know some•
thing," Pete thought. Maybe it
wasn't Valera after all.
"I saw your friend Miguel at the
meeting last night," he remarked.
He said it casually, to see how she'd
take it, but he hadn't expected her
to take it the way ~he did.
She looked at him blankly, her
lips parted a little, the color receding from her face. She put her
glass down.
"Miguel-at the Falange? Are you
sure, Pete?"
"It's not the Falange," he said.
"It's the Sociedad del Amigos de]
Estados Unidos."
"But you said last night-"
"I was just being funny."
"No, you weren't," she retorted.
The color had come back into her
face in two hot bright spots. "Look,
Pete. You've got to tell me. Do
you think-"
"I never think," Pete said placidly. "I'm in the Army. We're not
allowed to-"
"Stop it, Pete!"
Her voice was kw and tenrie. She
was leaning forward. her eyes wide,
and getting dark aud hot. "I',~ got
to know.''

THE LIFE OF MUSSOLINI

Mussolini wa., once a tramp. Now
he is twice a tramp. Forty years
ago he was thrown off a caboose in
Switzerland by railroad coppers. But
that time he was able to get up.
His father was a village blacksmith and Benito was born with a
bellows in his ml,uth. His dad had
biceps like iron bands in his arms
but Benito h:id them in his throat.
Papa Mussolini shoed horses but
Benito was no help. He would always try to talk a horse out of the
idea it needed shoes and convince it
that it would look better in patent
lea thcr boots.
Benito was supposed to shoo flies
but he preferred to outbuzz them.
He never cared for the anvil or
forge, finding it impossible to talk
into an anvil or play recordings of
his own voice in a forge. So he quit.
Pop, whose front name was Allesandro, also kept a saloon. This
proves there were always queer
ideas in the family. It is the only
recorded case where a blacksmith
alternately cried "Whoa!" "Back
up!" and "What'll you have?" with
no change of voice.
All this made the picture pretty
confusing in Benito's boyhood. He
would often find a teamster's horse
in the barroom saying: "I'll take a
cigar this time, pop" while the
teamster was entering the blacksmith shop on all fours and demanding drinks for everybody in the
house.
Natives love to tell about the time
when pop put a brassrail in the
smithy for the horses to stand on and
drew beer through a bellows in the
tavern.
Young Benito ran away to Switzerland. He started out with a quarter. No man ever went farther on
two-bits up to a recent Sunday afternoon.
He became a soapbox orator. Discovering that people were crazy
enough to think they knew what he
was talking about, he never stopped
talking. He became a newspaper
publisher. Benito ran his own pic•
tua-e in the paper and the sheet went
big because the public always goes
for funnies.
He fought in the World war, improving his diction by threatening
superior officers. After the war he
came out with a program for saving
Italy through a sust-e.ining radio program. It was the only case up to
that time of a man being his own
radio- artist and sponsor.
King Emmanuel thought it was a
premiere for an American movie
comedy and named Benito headman
before he found it wasn't all in fun.
It took him 21 years to correct the
mistake.
For 21 years he spoke only from
high altitudes and announced him•
self as a new Caesar with vitamins
and screeno prizes thrown in. Then
he met Hitler and everything went
black. And we don't mean blackshirt.
It is now reported he is thinking
of going back to the combination
blacksmith shop and saloon. It's a
long time since the homefolks have
seen a horse.

PRIVATE PURKEY ADOPTS
A CODE

I

Dear Mom-Well, I am now with
my old Pal, Moe. (Just say them
last two words over and think of a
city in Sicily and it will give you a
cue to where I am.) I can't come
right out and say where I am so you
will have to get it from hints. Like
when I wrote to tell Annie to keep
her big Trap closed it was a sort of
code to tell you I was in a place
called Trapani.
I guess we better agree on a code
to keep track of me from now on. It
will all have to be based on the
idea that I will be able to keep track
of where I am which is no easy
trick on account of we get rushed
around so fast in this globule war.
For instance, mom, if I write a lot
about mess you will know I am in
Messini and if I should write a letter
and talk a lot about a .insurance
company you will know J am near
Mt. Aetna. Catch on?
I am well and only had one close
ca:J in the invashun of Sicily. This
was when I ~ook four prisoners. A
Ji ttle later I decided to rele4se them
but they would not i-tand for it.
They became very qt.arrelsurn and
refused to !el me release them. I
had to call for help. I also had a
little row in one town when the natives started abusing us for arriying
too late. They had wanted to give
up 48 hours sooner.
It was all
straightened out when we exp;ained
our watches was slow.
Well, everything is going fine. I
hope you and dad are fine.
Your loving son, Oscar.

tightly on a lighted cigarette. I
turneli in a circle and picked out a
comfortable chair in front of a desk.
The corporal who had introduced me
to the pilot apparently had detected
the sudden change in the color of my
complexion, because he chuckled
and shoved a map under my nose.
"Here " he said "You can compose yo~rself by ~tudying tonight's
target."
I said nothing, but I certainly
didn't appreciate his humor.
Thirty minutes later I was shakIng hands with the crew members
of our big four-motored bomber.
There were the co-pilot, bombardier,
navigator, and four other gunners.
From 'Old Kentucky.'
One of the gunners inquired:
"Where you from, Sarge?" When
l repJ.ied "Kentucky," the diminutive, wiry bombardier shoved his
hand out and said: "Boy, give me
five. That's where I'm from, too.
Louisville's my home."
And so again, I was shaking the
hand of the bombardier, Second
Lieut. Jesse W. Crume, U. S. AriT).y,
from Louisville. We eased away
from the group, sat on the steps of
the operations hut and 'talked of mutual acquaintances back in Louisville
until we boarded the truck for the
field.
As we rumbled along the bumpy
road toward H enderson Field, where
our plane l!waited us, Lieutenant
Crume assured me Jerry was an excellent pilot and that he would bring
us back safely.
"But what about the J a p ackack?" I a sked.
"Well," shot back Lieutenant
Crume, "There's not much Jerry
can do about that. We can only hope
the Japs don't get us in their searchlights tonight."
In 45 minutes we were to take
off.
Speaking to me, Lieutenant Crume
said: "Bolser, we have a fine group
of boy.s in our outfit. They're regular guys. And you can see how they
feel about this thing. There are only
two things they give a damn about
now. One is bombing hell out of
the Japs, and the other is getting
the war over as quickly as possible."
3 e rry addressed the group.
"What'll it be this morning?" he
asked. "Will we bail out or stay
together and make a water landing? "

Lieutenant Crume explained to me
that the crew decides before each
bombing hop whether they will go
down in their parachutes or make
a forced landing.
Will Land in Water.
The decision that night was that
if we get hit we would try to make
a water landing. I concurred in the
decision.
Jerry said he felt we would have
a better chance to survive if we
made a water landing and remained
together in the rubber boat with
which our bomber was equipped. He
explained that the jungle surrounding the target was practically impenetrable. We would stand little
chance to survive if we parachuted
into the wilderness.
I listened intently to the discussion, but all the time I was saying
to myself: "These guys think of the
most pleasant topics."
Suddenly the chatt2r was smothered by the crack of one plane motor
backfiring as it was started. In a
few minutes we were deafened by
the noise of all four motors.
Lieutenant Crume poked me and
shouted in my ear: "All aboard."
I followed the crew as they
crawled through the belly door. I
was the last aboard. The others
crowded forward. I found myself
standing on the catwalk between the
bomb racks. They were loaded to

capacity with their lethal charges.
Jerry raced the lnotors for the
usual test. In a few minutes we
were rumbling down the strip on the
take-off.
I felt I was in a precarious spot.
Jcould only hope that the giant Liberator cleared the cocoanut trees at
the end of the field . I was relieved
as I felt the wheels leave the metal
strips on the field and rise into the
darkness over Henderson Field. We
gained altitude. Soon we were heading toward our target.
Out over the water I was told to
go aft to my station. I examined
my machine gun. (The marine corps
public relations section of which I
am a member was trained in aerial
gunnery before leaving the States.)
Then I fixed the communications set
on my head and plugged in for a
test. Jerry, at the controls, was
singing.
I looked at my watch. We still
had a lot of flying ahead of us.
Tum on Oxygen.
At 12,000 feet Jerry called over the
'phone suggesting that we start using oxygen. I welcomed the word
for I was beginning to feel groggy
from lack of heavy air. I also
felt the bite of the cold a t that height
and wriggled into the fleece-lined
leather suit.
"Bolser," Lieutenant Crume called
over the 'phone, "just wanted to let
you know that when I say 'bombs
away' you might take a look down
and see how my eye is tonight. Jerry
will bank just after I let 'em go and
you should get a pretty good look."
Thirty minutes away from the target J erry called back to prepare the
waist guns. The other waist gunne r
and I opened the windows. I fed
the ammunition belt into the gun and
charged it. It was ready for action
as I poked it through the window.
The temperature a t our height was
so cold that my fin gers were stiff
by the time I had adjusted my g un.
A few seconds later I got the scare
of my life. To the rig)tt of the
plane a ball of fire burst . At the
same time came J erry's voice:
"We're just about over the t arget."
I caught myself shying away as a
second burst of fire came nearer our
plane. J erry didn't have to tell me
we were nearing the target. The
Japs were spewing anti-aircraft
shells up a t us.

Test for Army, NtfVY•
Training Courses
Will Be Given Nov. 9
The Army-Navy College Qualifying Test (A-12, V-12), which will
be held throughout the nation on
November 9, will provide means
for tens of thousands of young
men to become immedia tely
available for training for responsible assignments in the armed
forces as t echnicians, specialists
and officer candidates.
The November 9 test will be
open to those who have graduated
from high school or are in their
final term and who will be 17 but
not 22 years of age on March 1,
1944.
Many young men are now in
college under the army and navy
programs. Many of these were
high school seniors last spring
when they took the first t est on
April 2. Those who failed to qualify on the April 2 test are also
eligible for the test on November
9 provided they have not enlisted
or been inducted in the armed
services.
Those between 17 and 20 years
of age on March 1, 1944, who designate navy preference a nd qualify in the test may be selected for
the navy college program. They
serve on active duty , in uniform
and under military discipline and
receive the pay of the lowest enlisted grade.
Seventeen-year-olds who designate army preference a nd qualify
in tbe t est are offered military
scholarships in the army specialized training r eserve program.
Those between 18 and 22 who
qualify and designate army preference are earmarked for special
consideration for the ASTP after
induction.
Detailed information on the
a rmy specialized training program, the navy college program
and the qualifying t est Ctn November 9 has been prepared by the
army and navy a nd forwarded by
the U. S. Office of Education to
high school principals, who will
provide prospective candidates
with the booklet, "Qualifying Test
for Civilians."

How Devildogs Stormed a Hill in Battle of Rairoko Harbor
"We had already fought for five
days on Vangunu island, when we
were rushed north to join in the
Battle of Bairoka Harbor. We were
200 yards from the Jap ridge, when
snipers forced us to take cover."
The story of the squad's last 25
yards was disclosed, a t a rear bnse
r est camp, by Corp. William J.
Haines. He told Staff Sergt. Samuel
Stavisky, marine combat correspondent.
. '"But we were ordered to keep

driving ahead. So we kept at it,
and my squad got within 25 yards
of the top, when all h ell broke loose.
"Corporal Strauss was hit bad,
through the chest. We pick ed up his
tripod a nd ammunition and kept on .
"We almost made it. Only five
feet to go, when Thornburg, an ammunition carrier, and Shipp, who
was bringing up the gun, were hit.
Thornburg was killed outright.
"Hacker grabbed up the machine
gun, and stuck it behind the cover of

a banyan tree. We turned to give
Shipp first aid. I was reaching into
my pocket for the morphine, when
a sniper's bullet pierced my helmet,
but it only scratched my head.
"I still wasn't sure whether or not
I'd been hit, but there I was, still
on my feet, so I pushed up to the
top of the hill with Hacker, and we
got the gun in position, a nd fired a
belt of ammunition before things
quieted down. Then we got word
back on our situation."

DAMPNESS IN WALLS

Crackers and Chowder Harmonize!
(See Recipes Below)

Soup Satisfies!
There's not one dish in any cooklng repertory that can even come
close to fill the
place of soup. It
can be the appetite - tickler
to
start the meal,
or a light, inspired concoction
to do for luncheon, or a steaming hot, sturdy soup to be the meat,
the vegetable and the main dish for
a cool night's dinner while the wind
blows hard outside.
If any crisis arises as far as your
own point - ration allowance, then
start exploring the fascinating possibilities of a few meaty bones, celery leaves, pungent onion, and a
spray of parsley, chives, marjoram
or chevril. Fat, cozy tureens of
soup will ward off any hunger now
as they have always done when food
supplies are slender.
There's no doubt that the tureen
will again become a part of your
kitchen equipment-at least for the
duration. You can make delicious
soup out of almost anything-and
soup can make the meal if you serve
it with plenty of unrationed crackers. There are literally all kinds of
these to go with any soup you care
to name.
Here's a fish chowder that is rich,
savory and thoroughly satisfying.
Serve it with common or pilot crackers to make the meal. Or, if you
prefer, oyster crackers, the round
tasty type, saltines or plain soda
crackers-any one will be a natural
accompaniment:
•Fish Chowder.
{Serves 8)
3 pounds haddock or cod
3 potatoes, sliced
3 medium-sized onions, chopped
3 slices salt pork, diced
8 crackers
1 quart milk
1 pint cream
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Cook fish in boiling water until
done. Remove fish from water and
cook potatoes and
onions in fish water until soft. Fry
salt pork until
crisp. Skin and
bone fish and add
with pork scraps,
to chowder. Soalt
split crackers in
mille Heat milk and cream with
crackers, and add to chowder. Add
butter or margarine, salt and pepper.
Here is another savory soup which
make a perfect main dish for
the meal:

Lynn Says:
Card: Now that butter has gone up in point value,
you may have to learn to use other spreads such as margarine.
Be sure to select a margarine
that gives you a definite guarantee of the amount of vita min with
which it is enriched. To color
the margarine, let it soften until
smooth and creamy, add vegetable coloring and blend together.
Let harden before using, if you
want to cut it in squares.
Butter can also be stretched
with a number of commercial or
other stretchers. Select a stretcher that gives good consistency
and does not change flavor.
If you're doing without a great
deal of butter, her e' s how: Us e
margarines or shortenings for all
cooking or baking. Save bacon
and other drippings to use for
frying. Occas iona lly, u se j a ms,
jelly and honey for spreads.
Sandwiches can be spread with
mayonnaise if the butter supply
is low.

Question: We live in an old house
with thick, but rather porous walls .
During the summer rainy spells the
walls are very wet inside.
The
paint is discolored and brown in
some places, due to mildew. How
can this be removed? Is there any
kind of moistureproof paint that we
can use?
Answer: Your first problem is to
get at the cause of the condition.
If moisture penetrates through the
outside walls (I presume they are
brick or stone), they should be coated with a colorless liquid waterproofing or with a damp-proof cement
paint- the kind that comes in powder form to be mixed with water.
the condition occurs only during the
summer, the trouble may come from
condensation caused by the plaster
having been applied directly on the

Rumbling Water Tank
Question : Why does the hot-water
tank in our kitchen make a rumbling
sound? The water is heated by an
oil burner and a hot-wa te r coil in
the kitchen stove.
Answer : Overheating will cause
this condition. It may help to run
the oil burne r at a slower r a te . P...nother possible rea son for the rumbling is tha t the wa ter back in the
stove is not set exa ctly lev el. If a
coil is used, it should be level or,
better yet, so that ther e is a continual rise from the c old-water inle t to
the hot-water outlet. A pipe of larger diameter in the coil m a y be advisable. If your water supply is
hard, the coils may be clogged with
line.

Log Cabin Chinking
Question: What is a practical
chinking to use on our log c a bin?
We want something that will last
all the year.
Answer: Chinking de pends as
much on method as it does on material, and upon the width of the
spaces to be chinked. Drive large
head na ils into the logs along the
chinks a round which the chinking
can harden and lock itself in. Wide
spa ces should be packed at the bottom with oakum.
An exc ellent chinking is made of
1 pa rt portland cement, 3 p a rts
coarse sand, and 1 part hydrated
lime mixed with water to a stiff
paste. Popular Science Publishing
company, 353 Fourth avenue, New
York, publishes an excellent handbook on the building of cabins and
lodges, that would be of use to any
prospective builder.

Question: Is there any home mefu.
od for repairing a painted leatheJ
screen which was torn badly?
Answer: The leather will have to
be tak~n off the screen, so that the
repair can be made tm the reverse
side. Cut a piece of soft leather or
stout fabric, and cement it to the
back of the torn area, using care to
attach the torn edges to the patch.
For a neat joint, the fuzz along the
edges should be clipped off. Use top
quality glue.

How eYestrain and nervousness of

a bulletin of the National Assoc a·
tion of .Manufacturers.
Complaining of eyestrain and fa·

showed a tendency to leave their
work frequently and to be fidgety
and irritable. Study showed the
walls and columus caused glare and
distraction. In glancing up the eye
was saturated with brightness. When
it returned to its task there was a
temporary "blind" period during
whkh the employee had to wait for
his vision to adjust its~lf to the
darker working area.
By painting the walls a soft, bluish
green, greater visibility was ob·
tained. In glancing up, the lowered
brightness of the surroundings was
relaxing and restful. When atten·
tion was again directed at the work,
there were no "blind" or "halt" periods. Under contrary conditions ,
extensive use of white or very light

The prehistoric birdmen of the

TJ omas Edison and Orville Wright
of Gn'ek cinlization 3.000 years ago.
He invented a wooden cow and a
mechanical soldier of bronze Minos,
king of Crete, commissioned him to
invent a new klnd of palace. The
result was the Labyrinth at !~nossos.
whose maze of intricately winding
'corridors gave a word to the English language. After a dispute the
king imprisoned the inventor and his
son, and as a final precaution
against therr escape from the island
ordered every ship to be searched
for stowaways.
Then Daedalus gave the first demonstration of what is today a truism
among military experts-that control of the land and sea is not secure
without control of the air as well.
Borrowing directly from the birds,
he joined feathers to make four big
wings. He and Icarus attached the
wings to their arms with wax. By
a combination of iliding and flapping, they soared from the guarded
shores of Crete. The island of their
take-off, by another coincidence, was
captured by the Germans in 1941
in the world's first mass demonstratwr. of glider attack.

As the political campaign, which
will be oveT in a short year, begins
to increase in tempo, it is interesting
to note that noticeable shock recorded by the reporters at a recent White
House press and radio conference
when the President tossed off that
phrase "when I am out of the
White House."
Taken in the context, it was immediately clear that the President
did not delimit the time element in
this statement and there was no real
justification for the startled pause
when pencils stopped scribbling and
heads and eyebrows went up at the
presidential remark. Mr. Roosevelt
was merely pointing out, in connection with the postwar rubber situation that he believed that any propos~d tariff to protect the synthetic
rubber plants after the war should
be vetoed, and he implied that any
President who vetoed such a measure might stir up a lot of opposition
from the synthetic rubber manufacturers.
But we have become so accustomed to the idea that Mr. Roosevelt
himself thinks only in terms of his
own regime without time or other .
limitations, that an expression which
seemed to indicate the opposite naturally caused a stir.
However, it is entirely possible
that Mr. Roosevelt will not be a candidate in 1944. There are even those
who enjoy making rash prophecies
who are already saying he has made
up his mind not to run at all under
any circumstances. This type of
prediction is accepted in Washington as being in that class of guesses
which have about a 40-60 chance of
being right.
But closer observers who do not
choose to guess the President's inner
thoughts but are thoroughly familiar
with his manner of thinking, deduce,
from wha1 they believe is past experience, 1hat he will not be a candidate if the war is over by next
spring. This is contrary to earlier
prognostications that his desire to be
President when the blue-prints for
the postwar wQrld are being drawn
would incline him toward running
for a fourth term. The explanation
is that he will not run unless he has
more than an even chance of winning.

End of Conflict
Although none of the army or navy
officers of the top command will allow themselves to be quoted as saying the wur will end early in 1944,
a number of bolder and less constrained military folk are willing to
say this is possible.
It is interesting to consider that a
year ago this summer, when many
believed that invasion of northern
Europe by the Allies would be undertaken by the spring of 1943, few
people were predicting, even under
such circumstances, an end of the
war early in 1944. Take for instance
a typical comment in a leading periodical (Harper's) written very little
over a year ago in which it was said
that Germany must complete the
conquest of key positions in Russia,
must halt or control the Anglo-American onslaught from the air, and
must hold northern Africa for a
sortie in the Middle East. When we
co,nsider what has happened since,
we can see the progress which has
been made. Far from any action in
which the word "conquest" could be
used, the Wehrmacht in Russia has
been driven beyond its last Russian
defense lines in many places. The
dream of an African empire has become the reality of bitter defeat and
despite desperate defense measures,
the most powerful air blows are being struck against the Reich.

Japanese Situation
Within the year, Japan's power
has begun to crumble at a rate and
in a manner which makes it plain
that she will not have to be beaten
back island by island and every Jap
on foreign soil killed. The Mikado's
"unconqucrables" have become exceedingly adept at getting away
from points once expected to be last
stands, with remarkable alacrity
and apparent satisfaction in their
own retreatability.
Therefore, it is not
all impossible that the President, if he intends
voluntarily to retire with the end of
the fighting, means that he will be

at

"out of the -White House" at his own
behest, before the ides of November, '44.
This situation, if it does arise, imposes an interesting problem for the
Democrats. It is pretty generally
agreed that the conservative element
in the Democratic party has been
gaining in power in the last months
when the President bestowed posi·
tions of key importance on the right
wing of the party while many New
Dealers faded into the background.
When Vice President Wallace,
whom it was taken for granted would
be the President's choice as a suc·
cessor, was dropped and his activities placed in the more conservative
hands of Messrs. Hull, Crowley, et
al., it was plain that the original
New Dealers were being relegated
to the rear of the hall.

GOP Attitude
And while the burning highlight::
of the administration portrait are being toned down to more sober hues,
the Republicans seem to be outdoing
themselves in an effort to show that
they can make use of the bright
lexicon of youth as a reference work
and select from it promising shibboleths who speak of action rather
than reaction.
Of course, Mr. Willkie does no1
speak for the Republican party but
he has a following which his supporters hope will be reinforced by
disgruntled former New Dealers as
well as others whose leanings, al·
though they have never been such
that they could wholeheartedly sup.
port a Democratic regime, are still
far enough left to demand the most
progressive candidate offered under
any other respectable banner.
Meanwhile, of course, the President must, according to the inviolable principles of politics, show no
signs of intending to withdraw, since
it is written that you can't control
your party unless there is a fair
chance that you are going to continue to be its active head.
Our political campai!P"• of 1944 is
bound to be affected by the tide of
battle abroad.

other delicate operations, is being
used by army surgeons.
The
"thread" is extremely fine wire, almost invisible to the naked eye. It
is made of tantalum, a rare metal.
Surgeons say one of the advantages
of tantalum wire sutures is that they
can be observed by X-ray during the
healing process.

"While the product is not a substitute for butter," he explains, "it
is expected that it will ease the de

It is made wholly of dairy products, and is of the consistency of

was it him night ridin' up Crazy
Woman Creek not two hours after
the bank was robbed? Him and four
strangers here? Seems like I was
camped on Crazy Woman then."
Lew stared at him. "The bank in
Ox Bow?"
Willy nodded. "But was a man to
hunt some trouble now he'd see why
so many Cross T horses go loose·
herded up Crazy Woman. That
would be at nighttime, early."
"Tonight?"
"No, already made it. Was some
gunshot late this afternoon which
must have hurried 'em. If it was
this nigger tomorrow going down
the valley he'd keep to the east side.
That's talk, though. Maybe some
sort wouldn't listen."
"Maybe he wouldn't," Lew agreed
and smiled. "Maybe he'd like to
know. "
"He'll find tracks then," Willy of·
fered. "They're plain enough. But
was it me I'd have old Silverbell
here ready." He stroked the slender
barrel of his needle gun.
Through a little silent time, while
Willy NicHe's head drooped and he
seemed to doze, Lew sorted out the
old man's information.
He felt a grimly troubled meaning in that none of these things had
been in Tom Arnold's letter. The
bank in Ox Bow belonged to Arnold;
its robbery, he knew, could be pret·
ty bad. What puzzled him, wholly
unexplainable, was this business of
loose horses bc&gt;ing run up Crazy
Woman to the Staked Plain. If it
was rustling, Arnold or his foreman, Clay Manning,' should be more
on watch than that. The trail drive
would need every saddle animal the
Cross T had. And Steve . . .
"Willy," he asked, "you're sure
it was Steve riding that night of t.~e
robbery?"
Old Willy opened one eye. "Certain," he said and closed it.
There was no answer to that.
Things happen in a year. Even
twelve months ago, Lew remembered, Steve's young rebelliop had
turned into violent ways.
He was coming back, perhaps,
just in time. For he and Steve had
grown up together in a close companionship, more confiding than between father and son. Everything
Tom Arnold had built here in Texas
was planned around his boy. Still
there was that antagonism between
them, a reckless, high-strung nature
fighting the strict, unsparing one of
the man.
Inevitably Steve brought up his
sister Joy. Lew bent forward and
knocked his pipe out against his boot
toe. Behind all his thinking tonight
was one question. He asked it now.
"Willy, when did Tom's girl marry Clay Manning?"
Willy's head lifted. His gray eyes
squinted brightly.
"Never did.
There'!; been none of that on the
Cross T. Why not, this child couldn't
say. But there's somebody could
make a better man for her. Well,
he could!"
"No," Lew said. "It's the sleek

ready for bed. He had turned into
the dark toward his unrolled blankets when something sailed past
him and fell with a soft thud.
He stooped and pushed the unburned ends of cottonwood together
and crouched there, waiting. It was
not until the little flame leaped up,
shedding a wide circle of light, that
a figure stepped from the shadows.
Even then he didn't move. He sat
wholly still, watching Willy Nickle,
feeling as he always did that thJs
was a ghost shape from out of a faroff past.
He came forward silently on deer·
skin moccasins with high tops laced
halfway to his knees, a small, thin,
fragile-looking man, ageless. Long
chestnut hair brushed his shoulders,
but his cheeks and chin were shaved
clean. His face was very dark, yet
oddly smooth and as gentle as a
child's except for the sharp, quick
brightness of its small gray eyes.
"How are you, Willy?" Lew said
and got no answer. His only greeting was a nod as the old man came
from the shadows with an ancient
needle gun cuddled like a baby
across his thin chest.
Always it was not until three deep
puffs of kinn!kinnick hit old Willy's
brain with their terrific force tha't
talk seemed jolted out of him. Even
then it was veiled talk of his own
strange kind. You never learned
anything from Willy Nickle by bluntly asking questions.
He took his three puffs and lifted
his head and looked sharply all
around him.
"Well!" he said suddenly. "It
has been some. I do say!" His
squinted gray eyes came back.
Lew nodded. "A year now come
calf time," he said. "A year in

sixty years ago.
This was a time of new and un·
believable happenings. Pullman's
Golden Palace cars were running
clear to the Pacific, with their red
velvet curtained windows, their gas
lamps that made the coaches as
brilliant as a ladies' drawing room
and their sleeping compartments in
which many women still refused to
undress when going to bed at night.
Three thousand Negroes were
marching afoot from Alabama, with
their women and children and half·
starved dogs, to claim the forty
acres of land and the span of mules
which the state of Kansas promised.
Boxcar emigrant trains rolled out
of the East one upon another, spew·
ing settlers along the way, and the
high-topped Pittsburg wagons lum·
bered West behind their ox teams,
to meet-not a barren prairie-but
the red swarms of Texas longhorns
coming up from the South.
For this was a time when the man
in the saddle was king of the plains

that had run wild since the ~ebel·

a thousand cattle ranches were be·

had never been before. Up that
trail, twelve hundred miles long, unchecked by storm or drouth, by rov·
ing bands of Comanches or the
barbed wire of the hoe-men, the
great flood poured northward, a million head in a single year.
This was a time of a young man's
opportunity. Whatever a man was
going to be depended only upon himself.

Once upon a time the waiter made
it a point to slip three more butter
patties on your restaurant table the
moment the original patties began
to disappear; now if a waiter could
get three patties of butter he would
eat them himself.

•

Do you recall the time when the

used to slip four or five slabs of butter into it without batting an eye?

•

Once butter came direct from the
cow. Now it has to ,nake all the

You don't get butter from a cow
any more; you get it from an administrator.

Butter, lovely butter, what a problem you've turned out to be!

•

Once mom slapped big slabs of it
on the porterhouse- (Porterhouse: a
choice cut of steak; see beef.-Webster Unabridged). She even put it on
fish. And, boy, do you remember
how she would stick a quarter of a
pound of it into a baked potato! Today it's a prison offense.

•

She even read recipes which said,
"Add four heaping tablespoops of
creamery butter" and FOLLOWED
INSTRUCTIONS! (Without a thought
about penalties, too).

•

She fr·ied the eggs in butter, put
real butter on buttered toast and
applied it to Junior's finger for a
bad burn. (Never suspecting the
day would come when it might bring
the police wagon.)

And now SIXTEEN POINTS!

SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT

RUBBER
To maintain the nation's easent;al motor transportatlo•
system, the American rubber
tire indudry will be called
upon to make 30 million synthetic passenger car tires in
1944. The synthetic: rubber
program is being geared to
permit such an output without
hindering the military naada
for rubber.
More than 65 per cent of the war
materials reaching factories In Michl gan travel on rubber-tired trucks,
and 67 per cent of the finished
products move out by truck. Proof
that our national economy Is closely

Poultry Crt1wding
Too many cooks spoil the oroth
and too many hens in the hen house
cut egg production. A safe rule ln
housing laying hens is to allow fut.lr
square feet of floor space for N • .:h
bird of breeds such as PJymoulli
Rock, Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte. Smaller birds, such as Leghorns, can get along with about 3\.7
square feet a bird.
Overcrowding also results in increased sickness and death losses
in the flock. The bad effects of temporary overcrowding can be reduced
• by providing more feed hoppers, watering fountains and deeper litter,
but culling Hocks to remove the '

drones should not be delayed too
long. Although more than four
square feet of space is not likely to
increase production, less room will
certainly mean fewer eggs than the
Hock would otherwise lay.

Leap Year
Leap year generally, but not always, occurs at four-year intervals. The true astronom ical year,
however, is 365 days, fh"e !·ours. 48
minutes and 46 seconds, while the
calendar ye(?.r is an even 365 days.
This means that for each calendar
year that is observed tl1ere is a surplus of nearly six hours in the astronomica1 year. This is absorbed by
adding one day to the calendar at
four-year intervals. But this, then,
gives the average calendar year a
length of 11 minutes and 14 o;cconds
in excess of the true astro:;nomical
year. To make the necessary adjustP1ents in the calendar the last
year of each century is a leap year
only when the number of the century is divisible by four (1600, 2000,
etc.) and the years which are multiples of 4000 are obsened as common, and not leap yt.:ars.

The corporal who had introduced me
to the pilot apparently had detected

I said nothing, but I certainly

Thirty minutes later I was shakIng hands with the crew members

There were the co-pilot, bombardier,

One of the gunners inquired:
"Where you from, Sarge?" When

our plane l!waited us, Lieutenant
Crume assured me Jerry was an excellent pilot and that he would bring
us back safely.
"But what about the J a p ackack?" I a sked.
"Well," shot back Lieutenant
Crume, "There's not much Jerry
can do about that. We can only hope
the Japs don't get us in their searchlights tonight."
In 45 minutes we were to take
off.
Speaking to me, Lieutenant Crume
said: "Bolser, we have a fine group
of boy.s in our outfit. They're regular guys. And you can see how they
feel about this thing. There are only
two things they give a damn about
now. One is bombing hell out of
the Japs, and the other is getting
the war over as quickly as possible."
3 e rry addressed the group.
"What'll it be this morning?" he
asked. "Will we bail out or stay
together and make a water landing? "

Lieutenant Crume explained to me
that the crew decides before each
bombing hop whether they will go
down in their parachutes or make
a forced landing.
Will Land in Water.
The decision that night was that
if we get hit we would try to make
a water landing. I concurred in the
decision.
Jerry said he felt we would have
a better chance to survive if we
made a water landing and remained
together in the rubber boat with
which our bomber was equipped. He
explained that the jungle surrounding the target was practically impenetrable. We would stand little
chance to survive if we parachuted
into the wilderness.
I listened intently to the discussion, but all the time I was saying
to myself: "These guys think of the
most pleasant topics."
Suddenly the chatt2r was smothered by the crack of one plane motor
backfiring as it was started. In a
few minutes we were deafened by
the noise of all four motors.
Lieutenant Crume poked me and
shouted in my ear: "All aboard."
I followed the crew as they
crawled through the belly door. I
was the last aboard. The others
crowded forward. I found myself
standing on the catwalk between the
bomb racks. They were loaded to

capacity with their lethal charges.
Jerry raced the lnotors for the
usual test. In a few minutes we
were rumbling down the strip on the
take-off.
I felt I was in a precarious spot.
Jcould only hope that the giant Liberator cleared the cocoanut trees at
the end of the field . I was relieved
as I felt the wheels leave the metal
strips on the field and rise into the
darkness over Henderson Field. We
gained altitude. Soon we were heading toward our target.
Out over the water I was told to
go aft to my station. I examined
my machine gun. (The marine corps
public relations section of which I
am a member was trained in aerial
gunnery before leaving the States.)
Then I fixed the communications set
on my head and plugged in for a
test. Jerry, at the controls, was
singing.
I looked at my watch. We still
had a lot of flying ahead of us.
Tum on Oxygen.
At 12,000 feet Jerry called over the
'phone suggesting that we start using oxygen. I welcomed the word
for I was beginning to feel groggy
from lack of heavy air. I also
felt the bite of the cold a t that height
and wriggled into the fleece-lined
leather suit.
"Bolser," Lieutenant Crume called
over the 'phone, "just wanted to let
you know that when I say 'bombs
away' you might take a look down
and see how my eye is tonight. Jerry
will bank just after I let 'em go and
you should get a pretty good look."
Thirty minutes away from the target J erry called back to prepare the
waist guns. The other waist gunne r
and I opened the windows. I fed
the ammunition belt into the gun and
charged it. It was ready for action
as I poked it through the window.
The temperature a t our height was
so cold that my fin gers were stiff
by the time I had adjusted my g un.
A few seconds later I got the scare
of my life. To the rig)tt of the
plane a ball of fire burst . At the
same time came J erry's voice:
"We're just about over the t arget."
I caught myself shying away as a
second burst of fire came nearer our
plane. J erry didn't have to tell me
we were nearing the target. The
Japs were spewing anti-aircraft
shells up a t us.

Test for Army, NtfVY•
Training Courses
Will Be Given Nov. 9
The Army-Navy College Qualifying Test (A-12, V-12), which will
be held throughout the nation on
November 9, will provide means
for tens of thousands of young
men to become immedia tely
available for training for responsible assignments in the armed
forces as t echnicians, specialists
and officer candidates.
The November 9 test will be
open to those who have graduated
from high school or are in their
final term and who will be 17 but
not 22 years of age on March 1,
1944.
Many young men are now in
college under the army and navy
programs. Many of these were
high school seniors last spring
when they took the first t est on
April 2. Those who failed to qualify on the April 2 test are also
eligible for the test on November
9 provided they have not enlisted
or been inducted in the armed
services.
Those between 17 and 20 years
of age on March 1, 1944, who designate navy preference a nd qualify in the test may be selected for
the navy college program. They
serve on active duty , in uniform
and under military discipline and
receive the pay of the lowest enlisted grade.
Seventeen-year-olds who designate army preference a nd qualify
in tbe t est are offered military
scholarships in the army specialized training r eserve program.
Those between 18 and 22 who
qualify and designate army preference are earmarked for special
consideration for the ASTP after
induction.
Detailed information on the
a rmy specialized training program, the navy college program
and the qualifying t est Ctn November 9 has been prepared by the
army and navy a nd forwarded by
the U. S. Office of Education to
high school principals, who will
provide prospective candidates
with the booklet, "Qualifying Test
for Civilians."

How Devildogs Stormed a Hill in Battle of Rairoko Harbor
"We had already fought for five
days on Vangunu island, when we
were rushed north to join in the
Battle of Bairoka Harbor. We were
200 yards from the Jap ridge, when
snipers forced us to take cover."
The story of the squad's last 25
yards was disclosed, a t a rear bnse
r est camp, by Corp. William J.
Haines. He told Staff Sergt. Samuel
Stavisky, marine combat correspondent.
. '"But we were ordered to keep

driving ahead. So we kept at it,
and my squad got within 25 yards
of the top, when all h ell broke loose.
"Corporal Strauss was hit bad,
through the chest. We pick ed up his
tripod a nd ammunition and kept on .
"We almost made it. Only five
feet to go, when Thornburg, an ammunition carrier, and Shipp, who
was bringing up the gun, were hit.
Thornburg was killed outright.
"Hacker grabbed up the machine
gun, and stuck it behind the cover of

a banyan tree. We turned to give
Shipp first aid. I was reaching into
my pocket for the morphine, when
a sniper's bullet pierced my helmet,
but it only scratched my head.
"I still wasn't sure whether or not
I'd been hit, but there I was, still
on my feet, so I pushed up to the
top of the hill with Hacker, and we
got the gun in position, a nd fired a
belt of ammunition before things
quieted down. Then we got word
back on our situation."

DAMPNESS IN WALLS

Crackers and Chowder Harmonize!
(See Recipes Below)

Soup Satisfies!
There's not one dish in any cooklng repertory that can even come
close to fill the
place of soup. It
can be the appetite - tickler
to
start the meal,
or a light, inspired concoction
to do for luncheon, or a steaming hot, sturdy soup to be the meat,
the vegetable and the main dish for
a cool night's dinner while the wind
blows hard outside.
If any crisis arises as far as your
own point - ration allowance, then
start exploring the fascinating possibilities of a few meaty bones, celery leaves, pungent onion, and a
spray of parsley, chives, marjoram
or chevril. Fat, cozy tureens of
soup will ward off any hunger now
as they have always done when food
supplies are slender.
There's no doubt that the tureen
will again become a part of your
kitchen equipment-at least for the
duration. You can make delicious
soup out of almost anything-and
soup can make the meal if you serve
it with plenty of unrationed crackers. There are literally all kinds of
these to go with any soup you care
to name.
Here's a fish chowder that is rich,
savory and thoroughly satisfying.
Serve it with common or pilot crackers to make the meal. Or, if you
prefer, oyster crackers, the round
tasty type, saltines or plain soda
crackers-any one will be a natural
accompaniment:
•Fish Chowder.
{Serves 8)
3 pounds haddock or cod
3 potatoes, sliced
3 medium-sized onions, chopped
3 slices salt pork, diced
8 crackers
1 quart milk
1 pint cream
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Cook fish in boiling water until
done. Remove fish from water and
cook potatoes and
onions in fish water until soft. Fry
salt pork until
crisp. Skin and
bone fish and add
with pork scraps,
to chowder. Soalt
split crackers in
mille Heat milk and cream with
crackers, and add to chowder. Add
butter or margarine, salt and pepper.
Here is another savory soup which
make a perfect main dish for
the meal:

Lynn Says:
Card: Now that butter has gone up in point value,
you may have to learn to use other spreads such as margarine.
Be sure to select a margarine
that gives you a definite guarantee of the amount of vita min with
which it is enriched. To color
the margarine, let it soften until
smooth and creamy, add vegetable coloring and blend together.
Let harden before using, if you
want to cut it in squares.
Butter can also be stretched
with a number of commercial or
other stretchers. Select a stretcher that gives good consistency
and does not change flavor.
If you're doing without a great
deal of butter, her e' s how: Us e
margarines or shortenings for all
cooking or baking. Save bacon
and other drippings to use for
frying. Occas iona lly, u se j a ms,
jelly and honey for spreads.
Sandwiches can be spread with
mayonnaise if the butter supply
is low.

Question: We live in an old house
with thick, but rather porous walls .
During the summer rainy spells the
walls are very wet inside.
The
paint is discolored and brown in
some places, due to mildew. How
can this be removed? Is there any
kind of moistureproof paint that we
can use?
Answer: Your first problem is to
get at the cause of the condition.
If moisture penetrates through the
outside walls (I presume they are
brick or stone), they should be coated with a colorless liquid waterproofing or with a damp-proof cement
paint- the kind that comes in powder form to be mixed with water.
the condition occurs only during the
summer, the trouble may come from
condensation caused by the plaster
having been applied directly on the
stone or brick walls. If such is the
case, the inside walls should be
furred out and finished with a gypsum or insulating board. Inside paint
of any kind will not help. Before
repainting, remove the mildew by
rubbing with sandpaper-then wash
with yellow laundry soap, rinse well
and allow to dry.

Rumbling Water Tank
Question : Why does the hot-water
tank in our kitchen make a rumbling
sound? The water is heated by an
oil burner and a hot-wa te r coil in
the kitchen stove.
Answer : Overheating will cause
this condition. It may help to run
the oil burne r at a slower r a te . P...nother possible rea son for the rumbling is tha t the wa ter back in the
stove is not set exa ctly lev el. If a
coil is used, it should be level or,
better yet, so that ther e is a continual rise from the c old-water inle t to
the hot-water outlet. A pipe of larger diameter in the coil m a y be advisable. If your water supply is

Log Cabin Chinking
Question: What is a practical
chinking to use on our log c a bin?
We want something that will last
all the year.
Answer: Chinking de pends as
much on method as it does on material, and upon the width of the
spaces to be chinked. Drive large
head na ils into the logs along the
chinks a round which the chinking
can harden and lock itself in. Wide
spa ces should be packed at the bottom with oakum.
An exc ellent chinking is made of
1 pa rt portland cement, 3 p a rts
coarse sand, and 1 part hydrated
lime mixed with water to a stiff
paste. Popular Science Publishing

Question: Is there any home mefu.
od for repairing a painted leatheJ
screen which was torn badly?
Answer: The leather will have to
be tak~n off the screen, so that the
repair can be made tm the reverse
side. Cut a piece of soft leather or
stout fabric, and cement it to the
back of the torn area, using care to
attach the torn edges to the patch.
For a neat joint, the fuzz along the
edges should be clipped off. Use top
quality glue.

Director Sidney Lanfield needed
six-months-old twins for Paramount's
"Let's Fa~e It" (co-starring Bob
Hope and Betty Hutton). Out went
the call, in came twins, but none
suited Lanfield. Finally in came a
beautiful single. Lanfield sadly explained that he must use twins;
if only this infant were two! "Oh,
that's all right," said the mother ..
"His twin brother's testing at Warners'."

Cha rles Laughton signed an odd
contract recently - one permitting
his photograph to be used as a prop
in "Dangerous Journey.'' His wife,
Elsa Lanchester, plays a London

idea to let her real h(!sband pose for
the picture- so Charles got the contract.

How eYestrain and nervousness of
employees were checked ir. a large
well-illuminated general factory of
flee in which the light was too glar·
ing for desk workers, is explained in
a bulletin of the National Assoc a·
tion of .Manufacturers.
Complaining of eyestrain and fa·
tigue, accounting machine workers
showed a tendency to leave their
work frequently and to be fidgety
and irritable. Study showed the
walls and columus caused glare and
distraction. In glancing up the eye
was saturated with brightness. When
it returned to its task there was a
temporary "blind" period during
whkh the employee had to wait for
his vision to adjust its~lf to the
darker working area.
By painting the walls a soft, bluish
green, greater visibility was ob·
tained. In glancing up, the lowered
brightness of the surroundings was
relaxing and restful. When atten·
tion was again directed at the work,
there were no "blind" or "halt" periods. Under contrary conditions ,
extensive use of white or very light
colored paint might be indicated ,
according to the intensity or dimness oi the lighting.

whose maze of intricately winding
'corridors gave a word to the English language. After a dispute the
king imprisoned the inventor and his

against therr escape from the island
ordered every ship to be searched

Then Daedalus gave the first demonstration of what is today a truism
among military experts-that control of the land and sea is not secure
without control of the air as well.
Borrowing directly from the birds,
he joined feathers to make four big
wings. He and Icarus attached the
wings to their arms with wax. By
a combination of iliding and flapping, they soared from the guarded
shores of Crete. The island of their

Wasl:ington, D. C.
As the political campaign, which
will be oveT in a short year, begins
to increase in tempo, it is interesting
to note that noticeable shock recorded by the reporters at a recent White
House press and radio conference
when the President tossed off that
phrase "when I am out of the
White House."
Taken in the context, it was immediately clear that the President
did not delimit the time element in
this statement and there was no real
justification for the startled pause
when pencils stopped scribbling and
heads and eyebrows went up at the
presidential remark. Mr. Roosevelt
was merely pointing out, in connection with the postwar rubber situation that he believed that any propos~d tariff to protect the synthetic
rubber plants after the war should
be vetoed, and he implied that any
President who vetoed such a measure might stir up a lot of opposition
from the synthetic rubber manufacturers.
But we have become so accustomed to the idea that Mr. Roosevelt
himself thinks only in terms of his
own regime without time or other .
limitations, that an expression which
seemed to indicate the opposite naturally caused a stir.
However, it is entirely possible
that Mr. Roosevelt will not be a candidate in 1944. There are even those
who enjoy making rash prophecies
who are already saying he has made
up his mind not to run at all under
any circumstances. This type of
prediction is accepted in Washington as being in that class of guesses
which have about a 40-60 chance of
being right.
But closer observers who do not
choose to guess the President's inner
thoughts but are thoroughly familiar
with his manner of thinking, deduce,
from wha1 they believe is past experience, 1hat he will not be a candidate if the war is over by next
spring. This is contrary to earlier
prognostications that his desire to be
President when the blue-prints for
the postwar wQrld are being drawn
would incline him toward running
for a fourth term. The explanation
is that he will not run unless he has
more than an even chance of winning.

End of Conflict
Although none of the army or navy
officers of the top command will allow themselves to be quoted as saying the wur will end early in 1944,
a number of bolder and less constrained military folk are willing to
say this is possible.
It is interesting to consider that a
year ago this summer, when many
believed that invasion of northern
Europe by the Allies would be undertaken by the spring of 1943, few
people were predicting, even under
such circumstances, an end of the
war early in 1944. Take for instance
a typical comment in a leading periodical (Harper's) written very little
over a year ago in which it was said
that Germany must complete the
conquest of key positions in Russia,
must halt or control the Anglo-American onslaught from the air, and
must hold northern Africa for a
sortie in the Middle East. When we
co,nsider what has happened since,
we can see the progress which has
been made. Far from any action in
which the word "conquest" could be
used, the Wehrmacht in Russia has
been driven beyond its last Russian
defense lines in many places. The
dream of an African empire has become the reality of bitter defeat and
despite desperate defense measures,
the most powerful air blows are being struck against the Reich.

Japanese Situation
Within the year, Japan's power
has begun to crumble at a rate and
in a manner which makes it plain
that she will not have to be beaten
back island by island and every Jap
on foreign soil killed. The Mikado's
"unconqucrables" have become exceedingly adept at getting away
from points once expected to be last
stands, with remarkable alacrity
and apparent satisfaction in their
own retreatability.
Therefore, it is not
all impossible that the President, if he intends
voluntarily to retire with the end of
the fighting, means that he will be

at

"out of the -White House" at his own
behest, before the ides of November, '44.
This situation, if it does arise, imposes an interesting problem for the
Democrats. It is pretty generally
agreed that the conservative element
in the Democratic party has been
gaining in power in the last months
when the President bestowed posi·
tions of key importance on the right
wing of the party while many New
Dealers faded into the background.
When Vice President Wallace,
whom it was taken for granted would
be the President's choice as a suc·
cessor, was dropped and his activities placed in the more conservative
hands of Messrs. Hull, Crowley, et
al., it was plain that the original
New Dealers were being relegated
to the rear of the hall.

GOP Attitude
And while the burning highlight::
of the administration portrait are being toned down to more sober hues,
the Republicans seem to be outdoing
themselves in an effort to show that
they can make use of the bright
lexicon of youth as a reference work
and select from it promising shibboleths who speak of action rather
than reaction.
Of course, Mr. Willkie does no1
speak for the Republican party but
he has a following which his supporters hope will be reinforced by
disgruntled former New Dealers as
well as others whose leanings, al·
though they have never been such
that they could wholeheartedly sup.
port a Democratic regime, are still
far enough left to demand the most
progressive candidate offered under
any other respectable banner.
Meanwhile, of course, the President must, according to the inviolable principles of politics, show no
signs of intending to withdraw, since
it is written that you can't control
your party unless there is a fair
chance that you are going to continue to be its active head.
Our political campai!P"• of 1944 is
bound to be affected by the tide of
battle abroad.

SURGERY: A new "thread" for
suturing arm and leg nerves and for
other delicate operations, is being
used by army surgeons.
The
"thread" is extremely fine wire, almost invisible to the naked eye. It
is made of tantalum, a rare metal.
Surgeons say one of the advantages
of tantalum wire sutures is that they
can be observed by X-ray during the
healing process.

A new butter extender called
"Dyne" has been developed by the
dairy department of the University
of Wisconsin. It will be on the market shortly, says Dr. K. G. Weckel
of the college of agriculture.
·
"While the product is not a substitute for butter," he explains, "it
is expected that it will ease the de
rnand for butter and oleor·1argarine ."
It is made wholly of dairy products, and is of the consistency of
cream cheese.

was it him night ridin' up Crazy
Woman Creek not two hours after
the bank was robbed? Him and four
strangers here? Seems like I was
camped on Crazy Woman then."
Lew stared at him. "The bank in
Ox Bow?"
Willy nodded. "But was a man to
hunt some trouble now he'd see why
so many Cross T horses go loose·
herded up Crazy Woman. That
would be at nighttime, early."
"Tonight?"
"No, already made it. Was some
gunshot late this afternoon which
must have hurried 'em. If it was
this nigger tomorrow going down
the valley he'd keep to the east side.
That's talk, though. Maybe some
sort wouldn't listen."
"Maybe he wouldn't," Lew agreed
and smiled. "Maybe he'd like to
know. "
"He'll find tracks then," Willy of·
fered. "They're plain enough. But
was it me I'd have old Silverbell
here ready." He stroked the slender
barrel of his needle gun.
Through a little silent time, while
Willy NicHe's head drooped and he
seemed to doze, Lew sorted out the
old man's information.
He felt a grimly troubled meaning in that none of these things had
been in Tom Arnold's letter. The
bank in Ox Bow belonged to Arnold;
its robbery, he knew, could be pret·
ty bad. What puzzled him, wholly
unexplainable, was this business of
loose horses bc&gt;ing run up Crazy
Woman to the Staked Plain. If it
was rustling, Arnold or his foreman, Clay Manning,' should be more
on watch than that. The trail drive
would need every saddle animal the
Cross T had. And Steve . . .
"Willy," he asked, "you're sure
it was Steve riding that night of t.~e
robbery?"
Old Willy opened one eye. "Certain," he said and closed it.
There was no answer to that.
Things happen in a year. Even
twelve months ago, Lew remembered, Steve's young rebelliop had
turned into violent ways.
He was coming back, perhaps,
just in time. For he and Steve had
grown up together in a close companionship, more confiding than between father and son. Everything
Tom Arnold had built here in Texas
was planned around his boy. Still
there was that antagonism between
them, a reckless, high-strung nature
fighting the strict, unsparing one of
the man.
Inevitably Steve brought up his
sister Joy. Lew bent forward and
knocked his pipe out against his boot
toe. Behind all his thinking tonight
was one question. He asked it now.
"Willy, when did Tom's girl marry Clay Manning?"
Willy's head lifted. His gray eyes
squinted brightly.
"Never did.
There'!; been none of that on the
Cross T. Why not, this child couldn't
say. But there's somebody could
make a better man for her. Well,
he could!"
"No," Lew said. "It's the sleek

ready for bed. He had turned into
the dark toward his unrolled blankets when something sailed past
him and fell with a soft thud.
He stooped and pushed the unburned ends of cottonwood together
and crouched there, waiting. It was
not until the little flame leaped up,
shedding a wide circle of light, that
a figure stepped from the shadows.
Even then he didn't move. He sat
wholly still, watching Willy Nickle,
feeling as he always did that thJs
was a ghost shape from out of a faroff past.
He came forward silently on deer·
skin moccasins with high tops laced
halfway to his knees, a small, thin,
fragile-looking man, ageless. Long
chestnut hair brushed his shoulders,
but his cheeks and chin were shaved
clean. His face was very dark, yet
oddly smooth and as gentle as a
child's except for the sharp, quick
brightness of its small gray eyes.
"How are you, Willy?" Lew said
and got no answer. His only greeting was a nod as the old man came
from the shadows with an ancient
needle gun cuddled like a baby
across his thin chest.
Always it was not until three deep
puffs of kinn!kinnick hit old Willy's
brain with their terrific force tha't
talk seemed jolted out of him. Even
then it was veiled talk of his own
strange kind. You never learned
anything from Willy Nickle by bluntly asking questions.
He took his three puffs and lifted
his head and looked sharply all
around him.
"Well!" he said suddenly. "It
has been some. I do say!" His
squinted gray eyes came back.
Lew nodded. "A year now come
calf time," he said. "A year in

CHAPTER I
Even those names that meant so
much have vanished now, so that
you will look in vain for Ox Bow or
Dripping Spring or the valley of the
Little Comanche on any recent map.
And it is hard to believe that this
land where !:lashing beacons now
guide the roaring course of planes
by night, and by day motorcars dart
effortlessly across its endless miles,
was then but a wild and rolling
prairie of buffalo grass, and a journey of any length had no certain

seemed to be following the sun in a
mad race set off by the cry, "Go
West, young man, go West! "-not
sixty years ago.
This was a time of new and un·
believable happenings. Pullman's
Golden Palace cars were running
clear to the Pacific, with their red
velvet curtained windows, their gas
lamps that made the coaches as
brilliant as a ladies' drawing room
and their sleeping compartments in
which many women still refused to
undress when going to bed at night.
Three thousand Negroes were
marching afoot from Alabama, with
their women and children and half·
starved dogs, to claim the forty
acres of land and the span of mules
which the state of Kansas promised.
Boxcar emigrant trains rolled out
of the East one upon another, spew·
ing settlers along the way, and the
high-topped Pittsburg wagons lum·
bered West behind their ox teams,
to meet-not a barren prairie-but
the red swarms of Texas longhorns
coming up from the South.
For this was a time when the man
in the saddle was king of the plains
and prairie; all others were hoe·
n1en, beneath him, to be swept aside
by the relentless march of his trail
herds. Ten million Texas longhorns
that had run wild since the ~ebel·
lion were finding a market m the
shipping towns of the new railroads;
a thousand cattle ranches were be·
ing made in the new lands of Montana and Wyoming, where cattle
had never been before. Up that
trail, twelve hundred miles long, unchecked by storm or drouth, by rov·
ing bands of Comanches or the
barbed wire of the hoe-men, the
great flood poured northward, a million head in a single year.
This was a time of a young man's
opportunity. Whatever a man was
going to be depended only upon himself.

Once upon a time the waiter made
it a point to slip three more butter
patties on your restaurant table the
moment the original patties began
to disappear; now if a waiter could
get three patties of butter he would
eat them himself.

•

Do you recall the time when the
fellow who cooked up an oyster stew
used to slip four or five slabs of butter into it without batting an eye?

•

Once butter came direct from the
cow. Now it has to ,nake all the
intermediate .stops at OPA stations,
federal commissions, global war
councils land miscellaneous gatherings of Washington lawyers.

•

You don't get butter from a cow
any more; you get it from an administrator.

•

Butter, lovely butter, what a problem you've turned out to be!

•

Once mom slapped big slabs of it
on the porterhouse- (Porterhouse: a
choice cut of steak; see beef.-Webster Unabridged). She even put it on
fish. And, boy, do you remember
how she would stick a quarter of a
pound of it into a baked potato! Today it's a prison offense.

•

She even read recipes which said,
"Add four heaping tablespoops of
creamery butter" and FOLLOWED
INSTRUCTIONS! (Without a thought
about penalties, too).

•

She fr·ied the eggs in butter, put
real butter on buttered toast and
applied it to Junior's finger for a
bad burn. (Never suspecting the
day would come when it might bring
the police wagon.)

•

And now SIXTEEN POINTS!

•

That can't be anything connected
with butter. It's a FOOTBALL
StORE, AIN'T IT?

• • •

Oh Yeah!
("If I had an opponent of real mil·
itary size I could calculate approximately where he would at·tac'k. But
if one has before him military idiots
one cannot even guess."-Adolf Hitler one year ago.)
Those military idiotsAch, it's so hard to fight
An enemy who isn't smart
And never looks quite bright!
ln full retreat and out of breath,
My "blitz" transformed to "blotz,"
I have this one consoling thought-They are such Idiots!

•

Vanishing Americanisms
"Here's a dime; get yourself
something tG ;:,at."

•

"Shut it off, quick 1 The tank's

"I'll take the

dinner."

"Go out and buy me two or three
five-cent go(JJ magazines."

•

"Let'&amp; look over the meat spedalties first."

,

"Our forefathers dia without sug.
ar until the 13th century, without
coal until the: 14th, wi~hout butter
until the 15th and without tea, coffee
or soap until the 17th. What was it
you were complaining about?"From the OPA Nernfetler.

•

We were, since you ask, complaining about the waste of paper and
ink.

SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT

RUBBER
To maintain the nation's easent;al motor transportatlo•
system, the American rubber
tire indudry will be called
upon to make 30 million synthetic passenger car tires in
1944. The synthetic: rubber
program is being geared to
permit such an output without
hindering the military naada
for rubber.
More than 65 per cent of the war
materials reaching factories In Michl gan travel on rubber-tired trucks,
and 67 per cent of the finished
products move out by truck. Proof
that our national economy Is closely

Poultry Crt1wding
Too many cooks spoil the oroth
and too many hens in the hen house
cut egg production. A safe rule ln
housing laying hens is to allow fut.lr
square feet of floor space for N • .:h
bird of breeds such as PJymoulli
Rock, Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte. Smaller birds, such as Leghorns, can get along with about 3\.7
square feet a bird.
Overcrowding also results in increased sickness and death losses
in the flock. The bad effects of temporary overcrowding can be reduced
• by providing more feed hoppers, watering fountains and deeper litter,
but culling Hocks to remove the '
1
drones should not be delayed too
long. Although more than four
square feet of space is not likely to
increase production, less room will
certainly mean fewer eggs than the
Hock would otherwise lay.

Leap Year
Leap year generally, but not always, occurs at four-year intervals. The true astronom ical year,
however, is 365 days, fh"e !·ours. 48
minutes and 46 seconds, while the
calendar ye(?.r is an even 365 days.
This means that for each calendar
year that is observed tl1ere is a surplus of nearly six hours in the astronomica1 year. This is absorbed by
adding one day to the calendar at
four-year intervals. But this, then,
gives the average calendar year a
length of 11 minutes and 14 o;cconds
in excess of the true astro:;nomical
year. To make the necessary adjustP1ents in the calendar the last
year of each century is a leap year
only when the number of the century is divisible by four (1600, 2000,
etc.) and the years which are multiples of 4000 are obsened as common, and not leap yt.:ars.

YORK.-Some years ago a

The test of battle-the only
valid test of the performance of
combat aircraft-has by now resulted in a number of box scores
which reveal the pattern of acClilmplishrnent of American combut planes.

HAVOC-One of the latest of the nation's battle planes is the Douglas
"Havoc" fighter-bomber, a two-motored ship.
combat, the P-47 or Thunderbolt,
has been currently rolling up a score
of approximately four to one in its
contests with Messerschmitts and
high-flying Focke-Wulfs over England, France and the Low Countries.
Armed with eight .50 caliber machine-guns, and heavily armor-plated, it is capable of flying over 400
miles an hour and of reaching an
altitude of 40,000 feet.
High Scorer for Navy.
The Grumman Wildcat or F4F, a
navy fighter, with Pratt &amp; Whitney
Twin Wasp air-cooled engine and
with folding wings for compact stowage on aircraft carriers, has run up
many high scores in Mediterranean.
Although the F4F will continue to
be manufactured for use on auxiliary
carriers and for training, it is now
being supplemented by a new plane,
the Grumman F6F ((Hellcat).
This newest member of the navy's
fighter family is described by the
navy as "an answer to the prayers
of our pilots!"
A big brother of the famous Grumman Wildcat, the Hellcat has better
range, speed, climb, maneuverability and altitude. It has a 2,000 horsepower engine as compared with the
Wildcat's 1,200. It has a low wing,
improved armor, and a new flexible
type gasoline tank which is an improvement over the ordinary puncture-proof type. It carries .50 caliber machine guns.
The Corsair or F4U also has a
2,000 horsepower Pratt &amp; Whitney
engine and is easily distinguishable
by its inverted gull wing. The Corsair has until recently been the chief
navy fighter in the South Pacific.
Now Hellcats are beginning to join
it in large numbers.
Heavy, Four-Engine Bombers.
The newest models of both the
Boeing B-17 (Flying Fortress) and
the Consolidated B-24 (Liberator)
bombets are equipped with new defensive armament in the form of
nose turrets with machine gun installations.
External bomb-racks
can increase the potential bomb
capacity of the B-17 to 17,600 pounds.
Nevertheless, this plane has a smaller bomb capacity at long range than
the B-24. The most accurate comparison, perhaps, is to say that load-

HELLCAT-Successor to the famous Grumman "Wildcat" is the
new "Hellcat." It has folding wings,
as shown in the picture below, so
that it will take up a minimum of
space on the deck of a carrier.
The Hellcat is a standard fighter
now in both the U. S. and British
navies. It has more power and
climbs faster than the Wildcat.
ed with 2,800 gallons of gasoline the
B-17 can carry 6,000 pounds of
bombs (the usual load carried over
targets in western Europe), whereas the B-24, with 2,900 gallons, can
carry 8,000 pounds of bombs. Consequently the B-17 is being concentrated in the western European theater
and the B-24 is being used chiefly
elsewhere-in the Middle East, in India, China and Australia- for longer
range operations. B-24's have made

round-trip flights up to 2,600 miles;
the raid on the Ploesti oil fields in
Rumania from bases in Egypt, the
raid on the Messerschmitt works at
Wiener-Neustadt, and raids in the
Pacific on Wake, Paramushiru and
Surabaya. The B-24 is used by t.Je
navy under the designation PB4Y-1.
Me&lt;lium, Light and Dive Bombers.
New models of the two-engine
Tokyo raider, the North American
B-25 (Mitchell), are equipped with
heavier armament and possess increased speed and range. The B-25
is the chief medium bomber in the
present program, production of the
Martin B-26 (Marauder) being tapered off. B-25's, powered with
Wright Cyclone engines, are flying
on 11 fronts, are used by both army
and navy for anti-submarine patrol service, an'd have scored particular successes with skip-bombing.
The Douglas A-20 (Havoc) is the
principal light army bomber in the
program until the totally new, advanced light bomber mentioned
above comes into production. The
newest Havoc, used by the army for
low-level bombing, is fitted with a
power turret and with armament for
ground strafing.
The A-24, army version of the
Douglas SBD (Dauntless) divebomber, is now being produced in
decreasing numbers, chie!ly for
training purposes.
Grumman Avenger.
The Grumman Avenger, the navy's
carrier-based torpedo-bomber, has
completely supplanted the Douglas
TBD (Devastator). It carries machine guns as well as torpedo or
bombs, and has destroyed many
Japanese vessels in the Pacific.
Chief among the navy's patrol
bombers are three flying boats and
two land planes. The land planes
are the Consolidated PB4Y-1 and the
Vega PV-1. The flying boats are the
Consolidated P~Y (Catalina), CoQsolidated PB2Y, (Coronado), and
Martin PBM (Mariner). All three
flying boats are used for transport
purposes as well as for patrol and
bombing operations. The two-engine
PBY, the oldest, slowest and smallest, the ship which first spotted the
Jap forces on the Aleutians, is still
being built, still dive-bombing and
strafing enemy shipping and rescuing pilots who have been downed at
sea. The four-engine PB2Y has double the horsepower of the PBY:. The
PBM does good work in anti-submarine coastal patrol and long-range
reconnaissance. Not even the newest navy flying boats have speeds
much above 200 miles an hour, but
all are required to be able to land
in a choppy sea.
The Vega PV-1 (a navy adaptation
of the twin-engined Vega B-34 "Ventura" ' bomber) is the navy's chief
land-based anti-submarine patrol
plane. It carries depth charges or
a torpedo, is heavily armored, and
is now often used in preference to
flying boats in anti-submarine operations because of its greater
speed.
The Consolidated PB4Y-1 is a fourengine land-based bomber and, as
previously mentioned, is used for
long-range bombing missions and for
anti-submarine patrol work.
Design and Technical Improvements
Aeronautical engineering demands
experimentation with numerous designs in order to obtain several highperformance aircraft of the required
types.
But on the other hand, the constant improvements being made on
models already in use, and the continuing addition of totally new airplanes to our forces, slow down the
rate of production.
Nevertheless, even at this stage in
the war, when clear-cut air super~or­
ity over the enemy has been
achie~ed, there is no assurance that
the planes which have achieved it
are superior to planes which the
enemy may produce tomorrow.
Changes in strategic and tactical
problems, too, and changes of terrain over which fighting takes place,
bring with them new demands for
aircraft design and equipment. Even
planes which have run up high boxscores must be constantly improved
and replaced. The make-up of our
air fleet has never been static, and
is not to become so.

"LT. S. Air Superiority
Result of Constantly
Improved Machines

"In every theater of operations,
American airmen and American
planes have met the challenge of
our enemies and outfought them by
scores never worse than two to one
in our favor," said Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, commanding general of the
army air forces.
"All types of
A.Jnerican fighter planes have shot
out of the skies the best interceptors
both Germany and Japan have put
against them." This has been true
since January, 1942, when our planes
w~re outnumbered on practically all
fnmts.
While much of this favorable fighting ratio is attributable to the excellent training, versatility and courage of our pilots, a good part is
traceable to the mechanical superiority of our planes. Constant improvement is the watchword. Even
though production schedules must be
delayed, our aircraft must be the
best possible, say army and navy air
c•rp!&gt; officers.
Here is a summary of the chief
combat planes which have run up
the high scores in our favor from a
report just released by the Office
of War Information:
Fighters.
V-type liquid-cooled engines are
found in most fighter models because
the long, slender shape of a liquidcooled engine is more adaptable to
streamlined fighter design. It allows
better vision, and has a smaller
frootal area for the same horsepower. But it will be noted that in the
P-47, where 2,000 horsepower was
desired, an air-cooled engine was
used. The same is true of ti:le navy's
Vought F4U (Corsair) and the new
Grumman F6F Hellcat. The navy
uses no liquid-cooled engines.
The navy's fighter program is
large. An airplane carrier carries
torpedo planes, bombers and fighters, and of these the fighters are
needed to protect the other planes
and the carrier itself. Fighters also
protect land bases. In the South
, ,Pacific, army P-38's are doing this
latter job along with navy fighters.
In the opinion of the materiel command, the Curtiss P-40, or Warhawk, has reached the limit of its developmental possibilities. It has
gone through numerous type
changes, the most basic being the
P-40F when the engine was changed
from Allison to Merlin.
Although the latest model P -39
ceiling and general performance
have been improved, the P-39 has
shared the climb-deficiency of the
P-41. It is being supplanted by a
new model now under construction,
with a low drag wing and a twostage Allison supercharged engine
which will make it an efficient plane
at any altitude up to 38,000 or 40,000
feet. The greatest efficiency of the
P..J9 models has been below 15,000
feet. Like the P-39, the new plane
will be equipped with cannon.
Low Altitude Fighter.
Although superior to the P-40 and
P-39, the original P-51 or Mustang
is also only a low a.nd mediumaltitude fighter. Now in production
is a new P-51 with a highly supercharged, Packard-built, Rolls-Royce
Merlin engine, similar to·the Merlin
61 engine in the newest Spitfires. Its
performance is reported as even better than that famous ship's. The
new engine gives the plane the highest ceiling (up to 40,000 feet) and the
highe'st speed (well over 400 miles
an hour) of any fighter in existence.
The A-36 (Invader), the fighterbomber version of the P-51, has seen
heavy service in the Mediterranean
theater, and its best features are
beipg incorporated in the new P-51,
which will replace both the A-36 and
the old P-51.
The latest model of the Lockheed
P-38 or Lightning is a fast, powerful
fighter that has been given greatly

A fragrant pot of coffee and a few
tasty cookies can do the job of entertaining that a dinner once did
if there's a spirit of friendliness and
plenty of good conversation.

Keep Up Morale,
Entertain Simply
Even in Wartime
Even if all foods were rationed I'd
still say, don't ration hospitality for
we need friendly get-togethers, the
refreshment and relaxation that being with one's friends gives.
Dinners or entertainments with
stupendous foods are out of style
at least for the
present, but that
doesn't mean you
can't invite people over for a
steaming cup of
hot coff'ee and a
few simple but
tasty cookies.
And, if you want
to do things more
elaborately, why, it's quite the thing
to ask Mrs. Jones to bring over an
extra supply of sugar or butter or
canned goods if she has them-and
is willing to share.
Som~ time ago progressive dinners were quite the fashion. Now
again they can become fun. The
plan is to serve, let's say three
courses, and have each course at a
separate home. It's a good idea
to have the homes within short walking distance of each other. Serve
soup or fruit cocktail at first home,
the main course at the next home,
and then have dessert and entertainment at the third home. Or, after
dessert, the group ~an plan to go
to a movie or concert or to attend
some sport in season.
And now for the business of foodwith a few points or none at all.
Here are cake and cookie recipes
which are the cream of the current

Lynn Says:
Hospitality Unrationed: Even
if you're doing your entertaining
in the kitchen you can do it up
right! Use a gay checkered cloth
as the background for your table, and a wooden chopping bowl
as the centerpiece for fall flowers or highly polished fruits. Set
candles in small squashes.
Have everyone help with the
dishes after supper and then play
old-fashioned games such as slogan contests, food favorites of
famous people, food favorites of
the family, scramble names of
kitchen utensils and have guests
unscramble them.

until a delicate brown.
A nice type of cookie to have on
hand during these times is this one
for old-fashioned
gingersnaps. The
recipe makes 10
to 12 dozen
"snaps" and the
dough keeps indefinitely in the
refrigerator so that it can be used
and made up into cookies as needed:
Gingersnaps.
(Makes 10 to 12 dozen)

1~ teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon ginger
Heat the molasses over low heat
to the boiling point. Put the shortening in a large mixing bowl, pour
the hot molasses over the shortening. Stir until shortening is melted.
Sift the flour, ginger, soda and salt
together and add to molasses mixture_ Mix thoroughly. Form into
rolls on slightly floured waxed paper and chill in refrigerator. Slice
very thin and bake on a greased

goes on in Hollywood, accompanying Haymes' songs.

Question: When a strong southwest wind blows, my furnace backs
up and fills the house with coal gas,
so that I can hardly keep up the
fire. The furnace faces north. I
had an extension put on the chimney, but the trouble still persists.
Can you suggest anything?
Answer: There are several reasons for poor draft. To be satisfactory, a chimney flue should be of
sufficient area to provide ample
draft; boiler manufacturer's directions should be followed. The flue
should be tight for its entire
length, and preferably lined with a
fire-clay flue lining. The following
are conditions that will interfere
with a free chimney draft and prevent the proper operation of the fire:
(1) Obstructions in the chimney;
(2) a projection into the chimney;
(3) a break in the chimney lining,
or a defect in the masonry that permits leakage of air; ( 4) projection
of the smoke pipe part way across
the flue; (5) an air leak around the
cleanout door at the base; (6) the

It's take.n 14 years for Hollywood
to get around to remaking "The
Bridge of San Luis Rey," done in
1929 as a silent. Benedict Bogeaus,
a business man who bought Hollywood's General Service Studios a
year and a half ago, bought the
screen rights and put Rowland V.
Lee in as director- and now the picture's timed right to coincide with
the work of the Committee on InterAmerican Affairs.

office has been swamped by inquiries about Metro's two-reel short,
"Heavenly Music," a tale of a jive
musician who can't get into heaven
until he convinces a jury of famous
composers that swing is real music-says she gets more calls asking where it's playing than she does
on feature productions.

Due to an unusually large demand and
current war condltions, slightly more

Coal in a Fireplace
Question: Will you give me instructions on the use of a coal grate
in a fireplace? The fireplace is three
feet wide by two feet deep. The
grate measures 12 inches by 21
inches.
Answer: Where the coal grate is
narrower than the width of the fireplace opening, block off the spaces
on t}·_a sides of the grate with brick.
This can be built very easily with
loosely cemented bricks. The idea
is to confine the draft through the
bed of coals in the grate and not
allow it to escape around the sides.

CHAPTER II

The man was hard to place, squat
and powerfully built, black-bearded
over a pugnacious jaw, shrewd gray
eyes. There was the look of the
cattleman about him, except for his
hands. Even gloves could not have
protected them so much from the
calluses and burns of a cowman's
rope. They were soft; the skin above
his wrists was white.
The squat man asked, "What out·
fit?"
"Circle Dot," Lew said, naming
a brand far to the south.
He saw the gray eyes hold a moment's speculation, move to the oth·
er three men and pause, and there
seemed a silent question asked and
answered. They came back then,
veiled behind drooping lids. "You
looking for a trail job?"
"No, not yet. I aim to get my
old one with the Circle Dot." He
knocked out his pipe and put it in
the side pocket of his rawhide coat,
standing there afterward with the
thumb of his right hand hooked over
the pocket edge.
"If you've been north three times
and know enough," the man sug·
gested, "maybe you can get a bet·
ter deal here. What routes do you
know?"
"My own," he said and smiled
faintly. "And that knowledge comes
high."
"Keep it then!"
"Sure, I'm not asking you for a
job." Puzzled, he turned away. He
had thought this was a camp of
horse thieves.
"Well, I'll tell you." The deci·
sian came slowly, still with a guard.
ed reluctance. "We need a good
man. We're shorthanded on a herd
starting north tomorrow. The right
kind can draw seventy a month."
That was almost double the usual
wage. Lew grinned. "What's wrong
with the color of your herd?"
"Nothing. It goes out of here with
a clean bill of sale. We're traveJ!ng
fast, that's all. I'm willing to pay
for a man who knows some short
cuts."

rider entered with no signal-someone wholly familiar in the camp.
He twisted his head for a better
look, but could see no more than a
dim shape of man and animal blended together. A voice growled,
"You're late!"
The blended shape moved a lit·
tle. The rider's answer seemed
forced out of him in a desperate
way: "You're lucky I came at all!
I told you last night there'd be no
more!''
Something cold and hard tight·
ened down the long length of his
body. He'd recognize this voice any·
where. Clay Manning!
"I've filled your bargain. I'm
through!"
"You think so!" There was a
shifting movement of the dim fig·
ures standing on the ground. "We
don't. Quit now and you know
what happens."
"That's what I rode to tell you."
Clay Manning's voice and the
blurred whirling of his horse came
in the same instant. "Not tonight!"
One of the group yelled, "Stop
him!" and a gun's yellow flame
streaked across the dark. But the
crash of Clay Manning's horse
through the willows continued, and
then he was running free down the
valley floor.
The men made a quick shuttling
mov;ement among the trees; Lew
heard the slap of saddles and cinch
leather. Then someone came and
bent over him, jerked at the knots,
testing them, and without a word
ran back. The horses were visible
now and the shapes of the riders
swinging up. He heard a moment's
mutter of talk, like a plan being
made and changed and suddenly
decided upon. Bolting from the
camp, they, too, aimed their head·
long run toward the south.
Twisting, he made another savage
attempt to loosen the ropes until
the breath went out of him in a
gasp of their cutting pain. And
when he dropped back again, face
up, a man was standing over him
in the dark.
"Thought so!" said old Willy
Nickle and came silently forward.
"Fixin' to get yourself rubbed out,
so you were. Don't you never ta)te
an old coon's advice, no sirree!"
The sharp blade of his scalping
knife parted the loops of rope.
Forcing his stiffened body up onto
legs that had gone numb, Lew said,
"I had to know." He threw open
the camp bedrolls until he found one
where his gun had been hidden.
"So you did," old Willy admitted.
He wiped the knife on his greased
sleeve. "Seems like I was watch·
ing from the rims. Saw you come
in here. Never saw you come out.
But didn't them five go south in a
hurry? And what for?"
"You don' t know?" Lew asked.
His horse was in the willows, the
pack mule near by. He was up in
his saddle when old Willy answered,
"Couldn't say. Was a fire off south
after sundown, too far to tell what."
Lew nodded. The horse was moving. Behinc him Willy Nickle
warned, "They'll lift your hair yet,
boy. You better watch!"
Then the black's strong lunge car·
ried him beyond the spring and he
was out on the open valley floor,
running, with the mule trailing
somewhere in the dark. He was
soon at the Cross T.
His sense of everything wrong
here settled upon him with a heavy
weight; the empty corrals, the silence, the absence of Cross T men.
The faipt slit of light widened a lit·
tie.
"Who is it?" The demand came
quick and sharp, hardly more than
a tight whisper.
He didn't move. "Joy!"
"Lew!" The door swung back. She
made a small dark figure rushing
toward him.
He caught her and he r arms went
around him and clung with some·
thing desperate and almost fierce in
their grip. "Lew!" she said again.
And then, "I can't believe it!"
Holding her, a ll the month-long
ache was swept from his body. His
tiredness was gone. It was like
hunger satisfied. She moved first,
drawing away, and he asked, "Joy,
wl-.at's happened?"
"I don't know!" The fear he had
quiete d broke into her quickened
voice again. "Our grass stacks were
burned late this afternoon, and a
little while ago Clay rode in and
said something to Dad. I didn't
hear. But all the men went with
him."
"Where?"
"Down the valley. Our trail herd's
been gathered there on the flats."
He took her iands. "Are you
alone?"
"No. Owl-Head's here."
"Then I've got to go. I can help."
She gripped him. "But I haven't
even seen you! Wait, Lew. Wait a
little- "
A sudden burst of gunfire rattled
in the distance. A rumble like far·
off thunder trembled up from the
valley mouth. In the first ntoments
of running his horse beyond the
ranch buildings he couldn't place
the direction of th a t low rumble.
He veered off to cut in at the
head of . the stampede, drawing his
gun. A dust fog rolled out to meet
him; the clack of horns and hoofs
and the heavy breathing of perhaps
four thousand animals swept aside
every other sound

egg production. A safe rule in
housing laying hens is to allow f&lt;.our
square feet of floor space for each
bird of breeds such as Plymouth
Rock, Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte. Smaller birds, such as Leghorns, can get along with about 31fl
square feet a bird.
Overcrowding also results in increased sickness and death losses
in the flock. The bad effects of temporary overcrowdmg can be reduced
by providing more feed hoppers, watering fountains and deeper litter,
but culling flocks to remove the
drones should not be delayed too
long. Although more than four
square feet of space is not likely to
increase production, Jess room will
certainly mean fewer eggs than the
flock would othenvise lay.

The test of battle-the only
valid test of the performance of
combat aircraft-has by now resulted in a number of box scores
which reveal the pattern of acClilmplishrnent of American combut planes.

HAVOC-One of the latest of the nation's battle planes is the Douglas
"Havoc" fighter-bomber, a two-motored ship.
combat, the P-47 or Thunderbolt,
has been currently rolling up a score
of approximately four to one in its
contests with Messerschmitts and
high-flying Focke-Wulfs over England, France and the Low Countries.
Armed with eight .50 caliber machine-guns, and heavily armor-plated, it is capable of flying over 400
miles an hour and of reaching an
altitude of 40,000 feet.
High Scorer for Navy.
The Grumman Wildcat or F4F, a
navy fighter, with Pratt &amp; Whitney
Twin Wasp air-cooled engine and
with folding wings for compact stowage on aircraft carriers, has run up
many high scores in Mediterranean.
Although the F4F will continue to
be manufactured for use on auxiliary
carriers and for training, it is now
being supplemented by a new plane,
the Grumman F6F ((Hellcat).
This newest member of the navy's
fighter family is described by the
navy as "an answer to the prayers
of our pilots!"
A big brother of the famous Grumman Wildcat, the Hellcat has better
range, speed, climb, maneuverability and altitude. It has a 2,000 horsepower engine as compared with the
Wildcat's 1,200. It has a low wing,
improved armor, and a new flexible
type gasoline tank which is an improvement over the ordinary puncture-proof type. It carries .50 caliber machine guns.
The Corsair or F4U also has a
2,000 horsepower Pratt &amp; Whitney
engine and is easily distinguishable
by its inverted gull wing. The Corsair has until recently been the chief
navy fighter in the South Pacific.
Now Hellcats are beginning to join
it in large numbers.
Heavy, Four-Engine Bombers.
The newest models of both the
Boeing B-17 (Flying Fortress) and
the Consolidated B-24 (Liberator)
bombets are equipped with new defensive armament in the form of
nose turrets with machine gun installations.
External bomb-racks
can increase the potential bomb
capacity of the B-17 to 17,600 pounds.
Nevertheless, this plane has a smaller bomb capacity at long range than
the B-24. The most accurate comparison, perhaps, is to say that load-

HELLCAT-Successor to the famous Grumman "Wildcat" is the
new "Hellcat." It has folding wings,
as shown in the picture below, so
that it will take up a minimum of
space on the deck of a carrier.
The Hellcat is a standard fighter
now in both the U. S. and British
navies. It has more power and
climbs faster than the Wildcat.
ed with 2,800 gallons of gasoline the
B-17 can carry 6,000 pounds of
bombs (the usual load carried over
targets in western Europe), whereas the B-24, with 2,900 gallons, can
carry 8,000 pounds of bombs. Consequently the B-17 is being concentrated in the western European theater
and the B-24 is being used chiefly
elsewhere-in the Middle East, in India, China and Australia- for longer
range operations. B-24's have made

round-trip flights up to 2,600 miles;
the raid on the Ploesti oil fields in
Rumania from bases in Egypt, the
raid on the Messerschmitt works at
Wiener-Neustadt, and raids in the
Pacific on Wake, Paramushiru and
Surabaya. The B-24 is used by t.Je
navy under the designation PB4Y-1.
Me&lt;lium, Light and Dive Bombers.
New models of the two-engine
Tokyo raider, the North American
B-25 (Mitchell), are equipped with
heavier armament and possess increased speed and range. The B-25
is the chief medium bomber in the
present program, production of the
Martin B-26 (Marauder) being tapered off. B-25's, powered with
Wright Cyclone engines, are flying
on 11 fronts, are used by both army
and navy for anti-submarine patrol service, an'd have scored particular successes with skip-bombing.
The Douglas A-20 (Havoc) is the
principal light army bomber in the
program until the totally new, advanced light bomber mentioned
above comes into production. The
newest Havoc, used by the army for
low-level bombing, is fitted with a
power turret and with armament for
ground strafing.
The A-24, army version of the
Douglas SBD (Dauntless) divebomber, is now being produced in
decreasing numbers, chie!ly for
training purposes.
Grumman Avenger.
The Grumman Avenger, the navy's
carrier-based torpedo-bomber, has
completely supplanted the Douglas
TBD (Devastator). It carries machine guns as well as torpedo or
bombs, and has destroyed many
Japanese vessels in the Pacific.
Chief among the navy's patrol
bombers are three flying boats and
two land planes. The land planes
are the Consolidated PB4Y-1 and the
Vega PV-1. The flying boats are the
Consolidated P~Y (Catalina), CoQsolidated PB2Y, (Coronado), and
Martin PBM (Mariner). All three
flying boats are used for transport
purposes as well as for patrol and
bombing operations. The two-engine
PBY, the oldest, slowest and smallest, the ship which first spotted the
Jap forces on the Aleutians, is still
being built, still dive-bombing and
strafing enemy shipping and rescuing pilots who have been downed at
sea. The four-engine PB2Y has double the horsepower of the PBY:. The
PBM does good work in anti-submarine coastal patrol and long-range
reconnaissance. Not even the newest navy flying boats have speeds
much above 200 miles an hour, but
all are required to be able to land
in a choppy sea.
The Vega PV-1 (a navy adaptation
of the twin-engined Vega B-34 "Ventura" ' bomber) is the navy's chief
land-based anti-submarine patrol
plane. It carries depth charges or
a torpedo, is heavily armored, and
is now often used in preference to
flying boats in anti-submarine operations because of its greater
speed.
The Consolidated PB4Y-1 is a fourengine land-based bomber and, as
previously mentioned, is used for
long-range bombing missions and for
anti-submarine patrol work.
Design and Technical Improvements
Aeronautical engineering demands
experimentation with numerous designs in order to obtain several highperformance aircraft of the required
types.
But on the other hand, the constant improvements being made on
models already in use, and the continuing addition of totally new airplanes to our forces, slow down the
rate of production.
Nevertheless, even at this stage in
the war, when clear-cut air super~or­
ity over the enemy has been
achie~ed, there is no assurance that
the planes which have achieved it
are superior to planes which the
enemy may produce tomorrow.
Changes in strategic and tactical
problems, too, and changes of terrain over which fighting takes place,
bring with them new demands for
aircraft design and equipment. Even
planes which have run up high boxscores must be constantly improved
and replaced. The make-up of our
air fleet has never been static, and
is not to become so.

"LT. S. Air Superiority
Result of Constantly
Improved Machines

"In every theater of operations,
American airmen and American
planes have met the challenge of
our enemies and outfought them by
scores never worse than two to one
in our favor," said Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, commanding general of the
army air forces.
"All types of
A.Jnerican fighter planes have shot
out of the skies the best interceptors
both Germany and Japan have put
against them." This has been true
since January, 1942, when our planes
w~re outnumbered on practically all
fnmts.
While much of this favorable fighting ratio is attributable to the excellent training, versatility and courage of our pilots, a good part is
traceable to the mechanical superiority of our planes. Constant improvement is the watchword. Even
though production schedules must be
delayed, our aircraft must be the
best possible, say army and navy air
c•rp!&gt; officers.
Here is a summary of the chief
combat planes which have run up
the high scores in our favor from a
report just released by the Office
of War Information:
Fighters.
V-type liquid-cooled engines are
found in most fighter models because
the long, slender shape of a liquidcooled engine is more adaptable to
streamlined fighter design. It allows
better vision, and has a smaller
frootal area for the same horsepower. But it will be noted that in the
P-47, where 2,000 horsepower was
desired, an air-cooled engine was
used. The same is true of ti:le navy's
Vought F4U (Corsair) and the new
Grumman F6F Hellcat. The navy
uses no liquid-cooled engines.
The navy's fighter program is
large. An airplane carrier carries
torpedo planes, bombers and fighters, and of these the fighters are
needed to protect the other planes
and the carrier itself. Fighters also
protect land bases. In the South
, ,Pacific, army P-38's are doing this
latter job along with navy fighters.
In the opinion of the materiel command, the Curtiss P-40, or Warhawk, has reached the limit of its developmental possibilities. It has
gone through numerous type
changes, the most basic being the
P-40F when the engine was changed
from Allison to Merlin.
Although the latest model P -39
ceiling and general performance
have been improved, the P-39 has
shared the climb-deficiency of the
P-41. It is being supplanted by a
new model now under construction,
with a low drag wing and a twostage Allison supercharged engine
which will make it an efficient plane
at any altitude up to 38,000 or 40,000
feet. The greatest efficiency of the
P..J9 models has been below 15,000
feet. Like the P-39, the new plane
will be equipped with cannon.
Low Altitude Fighter.
Although superior to the P-40 and
P-39, the original P-51 or Mustang
is also only a low a.nd mediumaltitude fighter. Now in production
is a new P-51 with a highly supercharged, Packard-built, Rolls-Royce
Merlin engine, similar to·the Merlin
61 engine in the newest Spitfires. Its
performance is reported as even better than that famous ship's. The
new engine gives the plane the highest ceiling (up to 40,000 feet) and the
highe'st speed (well over 400 miles
an hour) of any fighter in existence.
The A-36 (Invader), the fighterbomber version of the P-51, has seen
heavy service in the Mediterranean
theater, and its best features are
beipg incorporated in the new P-51,
which will replace both the A-36 and
the old P-51.
The latest model of the Lockheed
P-38 or Lightning is a fast, powerful
fighter that has been given greatly
increased horsepower in its Allison
engine, improved pilot's vision, and
improved intercoalin.g for better
high-altitude performance. It outperforms the Zero and later Jap
fighters at all altitudes.
The P-38 has always possessed the
versatility that is coming increasingly to characterize all combat aircraft. It has excelled at low-altitude
strafing, high-altitude fighting, and
as a particularly long-range bomber
escort. Its distinctive silhouette,
with its twin tail booms, has been
seen over foar major fighting fronts.

A fragrant pot of coffee and a few
tasty cookies can do the job of entertaining that a dinner once did
if there's a spirit of friendliness and
plenty of good conversation.

Keep Up Morale,
Entertain Simply
Even in Wartime
Even if all foods were rationed I'd
still say, don't ration hospitality for
we need friendly get-togethers, the
refreshment and relaxation that being with one's friends gives.
Dinners or entertainments with
stupendous foods are out of style
at least for the
present, but that
doesn't mean you
can't invite people over for a
steaming cup of
hot coff'ee and a
few simple but
tasty cookies.
And, if you want
to do things more
elaborately, why, it's quite the thing
to ask Mrs. Jones to bring over an
extra supply of sugar or butter or
canned goods if she has them-and
is willing to share.
Som~ time ago progressive dinners were quite the fashion. Now
again they can become fun. The
plan is to serve, let's say three
courses, and have each course at a
separate home. It's a good idea
to have the homes within short walking distance of each other. Serve
soup or fruit cocktail at first home,
the main course at the next home,
and then have dessert and entertainment at the third home. Or, after
dessert, the group ~an plan to go
to a movie or concert or to attend
some sport in season.
And now for the business of foodwith a few points or none at all.
Here are cake and cookie recipes
which are the cream of the current
cror:
Applesauce Cake.
(No icing needed!)
1 cup sugar
1,4 cup shortening
1 cop applesauce
1 egg

2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Yz teaspoon cloves

1 cup raisins
17'1 cups cake floor
Cream shortening and sugar. Add
applesauce and well-beaten egg. Add
soda dissolved in water. Sift dry ingredients and add to mixture. Fold
in raisins and bake in a greased

Lynn Says:
Hospitality Unrationed: Even
if you're doing your entertaining
in the kitchen you can do it up
right! Use a gay checkered cloth
as the background for your table, and a wooden chopping bowl
as the centerpiece for fall flowers or highly polished fruits. Set
candles in small squashes.
Have everyone help with the
dishes after supper and then play
old-fashioned games such as slogan contests, food favorites of
famous people, food favorites of
the family, scramble names of
kitchen utensils and have guests
unscramble them.

degree) oven about 10 minutes or
until a delicate brown.
A nice type of cookie to have on
hand during these times is this one
for old-fashioned
gingersnaps. The
recipe makes 10
to 12 dozen
"snaps" and the
dough keeps indefinitely in the
refrigerator so that it can be used
and made up into cookies as needed:
Gingersnaps.
(Makes 10 to 12 dozen)
1 cop molasses
~ cup shortening
3:y,&amp;, cups sifted fiour
1~ teaspoons salt
~ teaspoon soda
1 tablespoon ginger
Heat the molasses over low heat
to the boiling point. Put the shortening in a large mixing bowl, pour
the hot molasses over the shortening. Stir until shortening is melted.
Sift the flour, ginger, soda and salt
together and add to molasses mixture_ Mix thoroughly. Form into
rolls on slightly floured waxed paper and chill in refrigerator. Slice
very thin and bake on a greased
cookie sheet in a hot (425-degree)
oven 8 to 10 minutes.

has the "Beat the Band" show on
Wednesday evenings, introduced a
song called "She's Got Bars on Her
Shoulders and Stars in Her Eyes";
the WACs couldn't resist the title
so adopted the ditty for their official
recruiting song.
Pompeii's emergence into frontpage importance because of the
fighting around Naples inspired RKO

Century-Fox turned out so well that
his part in "Four Jills and a Jeep,"
with Carole Landis, was made bigger and bigger. Meanwhile, his radio sponsor pays for the lad's popularity.

from New York, with a full orchestra, chorus, and Jim Ameche featured-another orchestra and chorus
goes on in Hollywood, accompanying Haymes' songs.

Question: When a strong southwest wind blows, my furnace backs
up and fills the house with coal gas,
so that I can hardly keep up the
fire. The furnace faces north. I
had an extension put on the chimney, but the trouble still persists.
Can you suggest anything?
Answer: There are several reasons for poor draft. To be satisfactory, a chimney flue should be of
sufficient area to provide ample
draft; boiler manufacturer's directions should be followed. The flue
should be tight for its entire
length, and preferably lined with a
fire-clay flue lining. The following
are conditions that will interfere
with a free chimney draft and prevent the proper operation of the fire:
(1) Obstructions in the chimney;
(2) a projection into the chimney;
(3) a break in the chimney lining,
or a defect in the masonry that permits leakage of air; ( 4) projection
of the smoke pipe part way across
the flue; (5) an air leak around the
cleanout door at the base; (6) the
smoke pipe entering the chimney on

It's take.n 14 years for Hollywood
to get around to remaking "The
Bridge of San Luis Rey," done in
1929 as a silent. Benedict Bogeaus,
a business man who bought Hollywood's General Service Studios a
year and a half ago, bought the
screen rights and put Rowland V.
Lee in as director- and now the picture's timed right to coincide with
the work of the Committee on InterAmerican Affairs.

office has been swamped by inquiries about Metro's two-reel short,
"Heavenly Music," a tale of a jive
musician who can't get into heaven
until he convinces a jury of famous
composers that swing is real music-says she gets more calls asking where it's playing than she does
on feature productions.

Coal in a Fireplace
Question: Will you give me instructions on the use of a coal grate
in a fireplace? The fireplace is three
feet wide by two feet deep. The
grate measures 12 inches by 21
inches.
Answer: Where the coal grate is
narrower than the width of the fireplace opening, block off the spaces
on t}·_a sides of the grate with brick.
This can be built very easily with
loosely cemented bricks. The idea
is to confine the draft through the
bed of coals in the grate and not
allow it to escape around the sides.

hands. Even gloves could not have
protected them so much from the
calluses and burns of a cowman's
rope. They were soft; the skin above
his wrists was white.
The squat man asked, "What out·
fit?"
"Circle Dot," Lew said, naming
a brand far to the south.
He saw the gray eyes hold a moment's speculation, move to the oth·
er three men and pause, and there
seemed a silent question asked and
answered. They came back then,
veiled behind drooping lids. "You

"No, not yet. I aim to get my

knocked out his pipe and put it in
the side pocket of his rawhide coat,
standing there afterward with the
thumb of his right hand hooked over
the pocket edge.
"If you've been north three times
and know enough," the man sug·
gested, "maybe you can get a bet·
ter deal here. What routes do you
know?"
"My own," he said and smiled
faintly. "And that knowledge comes

"Keep it then!"
"Sure, I'm not asking you for a

man. We're shorthanded on a herd
starting north tomorrow. The right
kind can draw seventy a month."
That was almost double the usual
wage. Lew grinned. "What's wrong
with the color of your herd?"
"Nothing. It goes out of here with
a clean bill of sale. We're traveJ!ng

rider entered with no signal-someone wholly familiar in the camp.
He twisted his head for a better
look, but could see no more than a
dim shape of man and animal blended together. A voice growled,
"You're late!"
The blended shape moved a lit·
tle. The rider's answer seemed
forced out of him in a desperate
way: "You're lucky I came at all!
I told you last night there'd be no
more!''
Something cold and hard tight·
ened down the long length of his
body. He'd recognize this voice any·
where. Clay Manning!
"I've filled your bargain. I'm
through!"
"You think so!" There was a
shifting movement of the dim fig·
ures standing on the ground. "We
don't. Quit now and you know
what happens."
"That's what I rode to tell you."
Clay Manning's voice and the
blurred whirling of his horse came
in the same instant. "Not tonight!"
One of the group yelled, "Stop
him!" and a gun's yellow flame
streaked across the dark. But the
crash of Clay Manning's horse
through the willows continued, and
then he was running free down the
valley floor.
The men made a quick shuttling
mov;ement among the trees; Lew
heard the slap of saddles and cinch
leather. Then someone came and
bent over him, jerked at the knots,
testing them, and without a word
ran back. The horses were visible
now and the shapes of the riders
swinging up. He heard a moment's
mutter of talk, like a plan being
made and changed and suddenly
decided upon. Bolting from the
camp, they, too, aimed their head·
long run toward the south.
Twisting, he made another savage
attempt to loosen the ropes until
the breath went out of him in a
gasp of their cutting pain. And
when he dropped back again, face
up, a man was standing over him
in the dark.
"Thought so!" said old Willy
Nickle and came silently forward.
"Fixin' to get yourself rubbed out,
so you were. Don't you never ta)te
an old coon's advice, no sirree!"
The sharp blade of his scalping
knife parted the loops of rope.
Forcing his stiffened body up onto
legs that had gone numb, Lew said,
"I had to know." He threw open
the camp bedrolls until he found one
where his gun had been hidden.
"So you did," old Willy admitted.
He wiped the knife on his greased
sleeve. "Seems like I was watch·
ing from the rims. Saw you come
in here. Never saw you come out.
But didn't them five go south in a
hurry? And what for?"
"You don' t know?" Lew asked.
His horse was in the willows, the
pack mule near by. He was up in
his saddle when old Willy answered,
"Couldn't say. Was a fire off south
after sundown, too far to tell what."
Lew nodded. The horse was moving. Behinc him Willy Nickle
warned, "They'll lift your hair yet,
boy. You better watch!"
Then the black's strong lunge car·
ried him beyond the spring and he
was out on the open valley floor,
running, with the mule trailing
somewhere in the dark. He was
soon at the Cross T.
His sense of everything wrong
here settled upon him with a heavy
weight; the empty corrals, the silence, the absence of Cross T men.
The faipt slit of light widened a lit·
tie.
"Who is it?" The demand came
quick and sharp, hardly more than
a tight whisper.
He didn't move. "Joy!"
"Lew!" The door swung back. She
made a small dark figure rushing
toward him.
He caught her and he r arms went
around him and clung with some·
thing desperate and almost fierce in
their grip. "Lew!" she said again.
And then, "I can't believe it!"
Holding her, a ll the month-long
ache was swept from his body. His
tiredness was gone. It was like
hunger satisfied. She moved first,
drawing away, and he asked, "Joy,
wl-.at's happened?"
"I don't know!" The fear he had
quiete d broke into her quickened
voice again. "Our grass stacks were
burned late this afternoon, and a
little while ago Clay rode in and
said something to Dad. I didn't
hear. But all the men went with
him."
"Where?"
"Down the valley. Our trail herd's
been gathered there on the flats."
He took her iands. "Are you
alone?"
"No. Owl-Head's here."
"Then I've got to go. I can help."
She gripped him. "But I haven't
even seen you! Wait, Lew. Wait a
little- "
A sudden burst of gunfire rattled
in the distance. A rumble like far·
off thunder trembled up from the
valley mouth. In the first ntoments
of running his horse beyond the
ranch buildings he couldn't place
the direction of th a t low rumble.
He veered off to cut in at the
head of . the stampede, drawing his
gun. A dust fog rolled out to meet
him; the clack of horns and hoofs
and the heavy breathing of perhaps
four thousand animals swept aside
every other sound

egg production. A safe rule in
housing laying hens is to allow f&lt;.our
square feet of floor space for each
bird of breeds such as Plymouth
Rock, Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte. Smaller birds, such as Leghorns, can get along with about 31fl
square feet a bird.
Overcrowding also results in increased sickness and death losses
in the flock. The bad effects of temporary overcrowdmg can be reduced
by providing more feed hoppers, watering fountains and deeper litter,
but culling flocks to remove the
drones should not be delayed too
long. Although more than four
square feet of space is not likely to
increase production, Jess room will
certainly mean fewer eggs than the
flock would othenvise lay.

it necessary to ban the use of glycerine in practically all civilian products, cigarettes, cosmetics, dentifrices and dozens of others.

MOISTURE ON IRON
Question: One of the upright iron
tubular !-beam supports develops
beads of moisture, rusting the support in spots. Cleaning these spots
and coating with aluminum paint is
of no avail. What is the cause of
this and what can be done to eliminate this condition? The moisture
is about the same as that on the
furnace pipe during summer months.
Answer: The problem you have is
the elimination of condensation
caused by metal which is much colder than the moist air surrounding
it. One solution is to box in the
beam with a rigid insulating board
or one-inch wood boards, making
the joints tight. This will keep the
warm, moist air from coming in
contact with the cold metal. The
furnace pipe should have been taken
down for the summer, and, after
cleaning, it should have been given
a coating of light oil and stored in a
dry place.

Damp Floor in Cellar
Question: I have excavated the
space under my porch for a root
cellar that opens to the house cellar. It was necessary to excavate
two feet lower than the basement
floor. I built a concrete wall under
the porch, leaving a dirt floor. Since
the last heavy rains the water comes
up through the ground; sometimes
as deep as three inches. How can
I stop this?
Answer: You should, by all means,
put down a concrete floor. For complete instructions on this type of
work ask the Portland Cement association, 33 West Grand avenue,
Chicago, Ill., to send you their bulletins on the subject.

• • •

Stippled Walls
Question: What preparation is
necessary to put paper on a stippled
wall?
Answer: If the stippling is deep
remove the roughest part of the surface by rubbing with sandpaper
wrapped around a block of wood.
The slight remaining roughness can
be filled with a spackle applied with
a trowel. When dry, the wall is given a coat of size and paper applied.
Where stippling is very faint no
preparation is necessary, other than
washing down the paint and sizing
the walls.

• • •

Iodine Stains
Question: I spilled some iodine in
my washbasin, and now I cannot remove the stain. Is there any way to
do so?
Answer: You can take it out with
photographic hypo, one tablespoonful dissolved in one pint of water. Or
you can use household ammonia.

• • •

Basement Floor
Question: I want to construct a
basement room and should like to
know if linoleum can be laid directly on a concrete or cement floor.
Answer: Ordinary linoleum would
rot on a concrete floor laid on the
ground. Use a type known as dampproof linoleum or asphalt tile.

Invest in Liberty: Buy War Bonds

but the Tire
Less than two years ago America faced as frightening a situation as any country at war ever faced.
Unless something was done, and done quickly,
we would soon be without rubber.

that unless you, and all tire-owners continue to make
the preservation of tires a vital personal problem
... our home-front transportation will break down
and slow up the war production of America.

And without rubber, no plane could fly, no tank
could move, no ship could sail, no truck could roll,
people could not get to work, materials could not
move to and from plants.
That was the situation the Government and the
rubber companies had to lick inside of two yeara if
America was to stay in the war.

The way out is for you to conserve the tires
you've got-stretch their life in every way you can.

~id~~~~.?
Let's see what you think. Right now, there is
nearly enough rubber to meet our essential needs.
Today, this threat to American victory is merely
an unpleasant memory, because Government,
the Rubber Director, and a group of industries
-rubber, petroleum, chemical, alcohol-work,
ing together, compressed into less than two
years a job that would normally have taken a
dozen years. But .•.
Because the public saw huge synthetic rubber
plants shoot up almost over night, and heard that
synthetic rubber was in large-scale production, they
figured the tire headache was almost over.

Question: I use two 100-foot galvanized clothesline wires. They were
put up new last April and are to
remain out in all kinds of weather.
What can I coat or paint them with,
other than grease, to protect them
and lengthen their use?
Aitswer: After cleaning the wire,
give it a coat of good quality spar
varnish. To get an even coat and
for easy a,pplication, saturate a piece
of cheesecloth with the varnish and
then wipe it on the wire. Since there
will be a great deal of friction, the
varnish gradually will wear off and
you will have to repeat the treatment.

Sheep born in the fall and early
winter, when sold in the suckling
stage between two and four
months of age, arc known as hothouse lambs, says Pathfinder. The
animals not only have to be raised
with special care, but they constitute only one in about every 25.000
sheep slaughtered here annually.
Consequently, their meat is a
rare and expensive delicacy and
most of it is purchased by fine restaurants and oth.er luxury trade.

~-a~!
This is the situation today-the rubber supply
crisis is past, but the long predicted and anticipated
tire shortage is with us.
Why is this so, when thousands of tons of Government synthetic rubber are now being made?
Why is this so, when the rubber industry is producing a tremendous tonnage of rubber products and
more airplane and truck tires than ever before?
Because, as the Baruch Committee foresawthe fact that few tires could be made until we
had our synthetic rubber supply well on the
way, resulted in millions of tires going out of
service without replacement-and those remaining have less milea~e in them. Inventories
of prewar tires are gone.
Because our military needs are way beyond anyone's anticipations.
Because the rubber companies must use a lot of
their manpower and machines to make bulletsealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber
products for war, in addition to tires.
Because half of today's requirements are for
heavy-duty, large-size truck, bus, combat, artillery, and airplane tires, requiring many, many
times the labor and materials of peacetime
needs • . . and finally . . .
Because the manpower shortage hangs over the

tire industry as it does over all industry, and there
are just too few hands for the job.

s~r.tte~
These problems will be licked when our enemies
are licked. Meanwhile, we want to tell you frankly

~~~~~7~
Do no unnecessary driving.
Live up to the government regulation-don't
exceed 85 miles an hour.
Keep your tires inflated up to recommended
pressure, and check them every week.
Avoid hitting boles in the road, or bruising your
tires on curbs or stones. Don't start or stop suddenly.
Slow down for sharp corners.
See that your wheels and axles are in line.
Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five
thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly
for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts.
And-most important of all-recap your
tires as soon as they become smooth.

Though not all civilians will be able to get synthetic rubber tires in the near future, you may be
one of those who will. Therefore, you should know
. . . and remember ... these facts:

FACTS ABOUT
PASSENGER CAR TIRES
The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improvement but it will keep your car rolling through the
emergency.
In many respects, the new synthetic rubber tires
are an unknown quantity.
How they would behave at the phenomenally
high speeds of prewar days is purely academic. The
patriotic citizen knows that high speeds wear out his
treads far faster than the recommended speed of
85 miles per hour, and drives accordingly.
Under-inflation, driving over rough roads, and
other abuses are bad for all tires-but today's evidence is that synthetic tires will stand less of these
abuses than the tires you have been used to.
But, since these tires will be rationed to you in
trust for the nation, it will be your duty to take
every possible care of them, and to prevent misuse and abuse.
As we gain more experience with synthetic rubber tires, more and more things will become known
about them, and the public will be kept informed.

If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they
are properly installed. They should be put into the
tire, then inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And
they should never be mounted on rusty rims.

FACTS ABOUT TRUCK
AND BUS TIRES
On truck and bus tires, particularly in over-theroad, inter-city service, the situation is less satisfactory.
Truck and bus tires are operated under more
severe conditions than passenger car tires. They are
heavier, thicker-generate more heat. They are all
too frequently overloaded, must travel on any kind
of highway their work requires.
Again we'll be perfectly frank about it: synthetie
truck and bus tires now built will not stand all the
abuse that the prewar tire would take, especially
overloading. Progress is being made every day-but
overloading which damaged a prewar tire can ruin
today's synthetic rubber tire.
The Tire Industry is bending every effort to
solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory
and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field.
But a serious threat still exists to our most vital
transportation.
So remember this-while the treads of present truck and bus tires are vitally mportant, the
carcasses of these tires have a value to our truck
operators, and to the nation, that is beyond price .
Unless these tires are made to last and last, there is
almost certain to be a breakdown of truck service.
Every one of these tires must be recapped the
very minute it needs it-before any damage i$
done to the carcass. Speeds must be cut down,
especially on hot roads. Overloads must be
eliminated. Proper inflation is a necessity.
Operators, garage men, drivers, all have a heavy
responsibility that they cannot now avoid. These
are straightforward statements. The warning must
not go unheeded. A new tire warranty recognizes
these conditions, but the real job is conservation I

a~~With conditions as they are, and synthetic rubber in its present stage of development, a new tire
warranty has become necessary and has been adopted. It applies to aU tires. Under its terms, injuries
such as bruises, body breaks, cuts, snags, and heat
failures, as well as tread wear are not subject to
adjustment consideration.
Nor arc injuries or failures which result from
improper tire ca.re or misuse or abuse. This includes
failure as a result of overload, excess speed, improper inflation, or other non-defective conditions.,
Or when tires are used on rims not conforming to
Tire and Rim Association Standards.
Remember-the tire industry, the Rubber Director, everyone is working together with all their
energy, as they have from the outset, to keep
America's wheels turning.

Do your part-take care of the tires you've
got nowl

As of October 31, the direct federal debt of the U. S. stood at
approximately 165 billion dollars.
Broken down, that represents a
debt of $1,203 for every person in
the country or $5,000 per family,
on the basis of four members.
Interest rates have fallen to an
all-time low of less than 2 per
cent, however.
The present debt contJ'asts with
the one of 55 billion which existed before tile war, when the interest rate aver:1ged 2~ per cent.
Following World 'War I, the public debt reached 26~ billion clollars, with over 4 per cent int~rest.
The present 165 billion dollar
debt does not include over 4 billio:t dollars of government guaranteed obligatjons.

Form TFR-500 Supplies Valuable Information
Concerning American Stake in Foreign
Lands, Aids Reconstruction.
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
When Paratrooper Jones landed
"plop" in the midst of a field he had
never heard of in a country he had
only read about in books, he was
able to lead his comrades direct to
a certain building whose purpose,
importance, construction and contents, almost down to the last nut
and bolt, were all known in detail
by the American high command.
Paratrooper Jones knew just where
to get to the point he wanted to leave
his dynamite and General Smith, at
the headquarters, knew exactly the
damage that would result to the
enemy when that dynamite went off.
Neither would have had that information if a worried banker in
Bingville, U. S. A., hadn't painstakingly filled out Form TFR-500 which
the treasury department had sent
him.
The information asked for concerned American investments in foreign lands, and the information the
government got back made it possible for it to get the detailed blue
prints of the factory that Jones blew
up from the American firm which
had built it and, in this case, the
construction engineer who had
bossed the job.
The function of these annoying
TRF-500's which have already located American investments in 102
countries, the largest single one of
which is seven million dollars and
the smallest forty dollars, serves
other exceedingly useful, if not as
dramatic, purposes.

MANPOWER:
Define Essential 1ndustry
At least 75 per cent of a company's
business must be essential for employees to be frozen into their jobs
under War Manpower commission
regulations.
In plants with essential as well
as nonessential production, only
workers employed on the essential
manufacturing can be frozen into
their positions.
Workers frozen in essential industry cannot transfer to other jobs
without obtaining release from their
employers, unless they can offer evidence that their skills are not being
fully utilized in their occupations, or
they are not being employed full time.

HOGS:
Heavy Receipts

COAL STRIKE:
Agreement Reached

With hog shipments flooding packing centers and many slaughterers
reported shifting receipts to less congested yards, there were rumors
that the government may impose a
permit system to regulate marketing.
During a recent three-day period,
packers received 574,000 hogs, almost 40,000 over the record October
peak of the previous week. With
packers in possession of from three
to ten days' supplies, 250 to 270
pounders brought $14.40 in the Chicago yards, with weights below 180
pounds dropping from 15 cents to
$1 under the $13.75 "floor."
Although the government had
worked out a permit system for
marketing last year, it did not apply it when heavy runs leveled off.
According to experts, preference
would be given to bigger hogs if the
permit system were to be applied
now.

L. Ickes, acting on behalf of the
government which again took over
the pits when a serious strike
threatened.
Bypassing the War Labor board
which had consented only to a wage
increase of $1.121h daily, Lewis and
Ickes worked out a formula boosting
the bituminous miners' daily take to
$1.50. Under the terms, the work
day would be extended to 81h hours,
with miners compensated for the
average of 45 minutes of underground travel time, but with their
lunch time chopped from 30 to 15
minutes.
Anthracite miners will receive 70
cents more daily, 37.8 cents more
by sacrificing 15 minutes of their 30
minutes lunch time, and 32.2 cents
more as a result of a previous WLB
award.

RUSSIA:
Near Rumania
As German forces retreated in the
southern Ukraine, they were only 100
mules from the prewar Rumanian
border, while in the north, they fell
back to within 45 miles of the old
Latvian boundary.
Krivoi Rog remq.ined the focal
point in the southern Ukraine, with
the Germans fighting bitterly to hold
open an escape corridor for their
troops threatened with encirclement
in the great bend of the Dnieper
river. With the Germans holding at
Krivoi Rog, it appeared as though
they were successful in moving most
of their forces from the trap.
Along the Black sea coast further
south, Russian troops continued to
pour over the bleak, barren Nogaisk
plains, with German forces streaming westward toward the Rumanian
border. As a result of recent movements, the battle front in Russia
ran in almost a straight line from
north to south, with the huge
Dnieper river bulge eliminated.

EUROPE:
Food Plentiful
With llh billion bushels of bread
cereals harvested and dairy herds
at high levels, Europe's fuod stocks
appear adequate for the next year
on the basis of repor~s of European
newspapers a~d Swed1sh correspo~dents. Only p1g and poultry supplies
are smaller.

said, food will not contribute to any

Other Function•
One government official pointed
out to me another important function this information plays in nonmilitary wartime activities. He said:
"The more complete information
the government has on the · total
American stake abroad, the more
successful will be the efforts of our
forces on the fighting fronts, the
more quickly will the Allied Military Government be able to restore
civilian activities in reoccupied
areas, the better equipped our representatives will be to safeguard the
interests of the American people
during the peace table discussions,
and t,he sounder will be the working
out of postwar policies in thEl field
. of international economic relationships.
"This survey of American investments abroad is an instrument of
~ital importance to the future of this
country. Most other world powers
have long since collected similar information. They not only know the
holdings of their own nationals all
over the world but their relations
with those of other countries Their
plans are well formulated to. protect
and develop these investments. Our
government believes we should not
be less well informed."
This official had a particular reason in discussing this situation with
me.
First, he wanted to stimulate the
people who had received Form TFR500 in giving as complete a report
as possible.
Second, he desired wide publicity
in the hope that other American citizens, individuals, corporations, executives of estates, trustees of charitable organizations who might be able
to furnish the information desired,
would get in touch with the treasury
department and turn it over to the
government.

Meat production for 1944 will total
24 bil1ion pounds, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics reported, but
increased government needs will cut
civilian allocations.
More than 96 million hogs will be
slaughtered in 1944, the BAE said,
or three million more than this year.
Because of smaller spring pig crops,
however, next fall's marketings
should drop below current levels.
Despite record slaughterings in
1943, cattle on farms shoul4 number

The Moscow Conference
Washington correspondents for the
press associations and some of the
country's metropolitan dailies as
well as the network broadcasters
lived on needles and pins for more
than a day and a half before the
news of the agreements reached at
Moscow were released.
-There have been many bad leakages in advance of important international events recently. The state
department, the Office of War Information and the Office of Censorship have done their best to protect
American newspapers and radio
against these violations of premature release of important stories
involving foreign countries.
The
leaks usually have come through
foreign officials who whisper a
few hirrts to some of their newsmen friends. They also sometimes
occur when news dispatches, radioed
in advance for later release, are
picked up by the enemy or are divulged in neutral countries.
Every effort was made to prevent
such leaks in connection with the
Moscow conference. The question
of safety of the lives of British and
American negotiators was involved.
It was feared that if the fact that
the conference was over was publicly revealed, the enerpy might be
on the watch to shoot down the
planes carrying Secretary of State
Hull and British Foreign Minister
Eden and their parties.
Some of us who were affected,
learned on the Saturday before the
Monday of their official release that
copies of the agreements had
reached the state department earlier. We had guessed as much since
the President commented on the
success of the agreement the day
before in his press and radio conference. We were told we would
receive copies as far in advance as
possible which meant t..l-}at someone
representing the various news agencies and networks had to be on duty
day and night. Finally, the word
came Monday morning that the messages were available and they were
given out at ten o'clock for release
at one o'clock. We, therefore, had
three hours in which to digest the
five separate documents.
Fortunately for me, the one
o'clock release made it possible for
me to report the story a minute and
19 seconds after it was given out on
1 my one o'clock network broadcast.

CHAPTER Ill
The Longhorns were still in a
closely packed formation but beginning to string out, wedge-shaped,
with a small bunch of leaders at
the point. Coming abreast. of thes~,
he threw his horse agamst the1r
hard-ribbed bodies, firing his gun
close to the long, gaunt faces.
They were running like frightened
jack rabbits. But they edged away
from his blazing gun. That broke
their galloping stride for a moment.
Slowly the black wedge began to
curve, until in time the point was
bent in and joining to the base. The
cattle were still running, but in an
endless merry-go-round now, getting
nowhere. Their run slackened. Under the pressure of men closi~g. in
they made at last a solid, milling
pool.
He turned his horse off to one
side where a little group of riders
had halted.
In the dust and dark he had recognized no one and had not. been
recognized himself. Then the1r talk
began to reach him.
Someone said, "We're lucky ,
that's all. They didn't get a good
start."
"Wasn't luck either," another put
in "Who was it got up to the point
so. fast?" That was Tom Arnold's
rough low voice.
They were aware of his horse the_n
coming out of the dark, and their
talk broke off. He roue in, grin·
ning. "Hello, Tc:m," he said.
"Lew?" Arnold's low voice lifted.
"Boys, it's Lew Burnet!"
The group moved and they were
suddenly around him, tneir horses
crowding his legs, and he was shaking hands and grinning in the
warmth of friendly faces-Tom Arnold and Joe Wheat and old "Rebel
John" Quarternight, who had taught
him all he knew about cattle.
He was aware, afterward, of one
rider who had remained apart from
these othE'rs, and he called out,
"Hello, Clay."
Clay Manning brought his horse
around. "How are you, Lew?" His
big shape leaned across the sad?le
horn, \\ ilh all expression on a w1de
mouth closely guarded. He was a
high, square-built man, young and
blond and strikingly good-lookmg;
one who could be forgiven, Lew oflen thought, for watching his shadow
on the gr:)und.
There had been some reason for
his wait off there in the dark, but
now, casually enough, he said,
·'Guess you got here just in time.
How'd you come?"
"Down the valley," Lew said and
added, "from Dripping Spring today." At that he saw the brief, direct stare Clay gave him; yet in
the faint light he could read nothing more.
One by one at spaced intervals the
guard riders had come pr.st, and as
their dim figures loomed out of the
dark Tom Arnold had kept close
watch. He swung back now, asking suddenly, "Clay, where's Steve?
You were together."
"I'll look," Clay said and started
off.
Near him Joe Wheat straightened
up his thin slat frame, offering,
"Better take someone. I'll go with
you."
13ut Clay refused with a quick
impatience. "Stay with the guard.
Nothing's happened. Torn, you going back to the house? We'll get no
more trouble now. There's too many
of us. Someone ought to be with
Joy."
"I'm going," Arnold said. "Send
Steve in when you find him. Lew,
come on with me."
They loped into the black valley
mouth side by side, but aware of
Tom Arnold's strict silence he held
down the questions that crowded his
mind

From the front I"oom Joy called,
"Pour a cup of coffee for me, OwlHead," and came on back.
"Tell me about Wyoming!" she
said.
"That's a lot of country," he
smiled. "What do you want to know?"
"E\·erything! What it's.. like and
what yC'u do there."
"Wc11, I lived in a dugout," he
sa id, "in the bank of a creek and
spent most of my time fighting

"No" - she laughed - "i. don't

"Oh, sure; mountains, high ones.
Some of them with snow all the
year. In summer the streams don't
go dry there. I guess it's sort of a
pretty place," he admitted. "I liked
the pines."
"Then it's beautiful. I'm going
to love it. I know I will!"
That stopped him. He put down
his fork. "Joy, what do you mean?"
Her cheeks were flushed; the suppressed excitement had turned her
breathless. "I wanted to be the first
to tell you. I asked Dad to let me.
You don't know, do you?"
"No," he said, "I don't know anything."
It burst from her then wildly.
"I'm going north! We're all going.
We're moving up there for good."
"You don't mean with the herd."
"Yes!"
He could only stare at her. There
had been nothing of this in Tom's
letter either; no more than that
he was sending his longhorns on a
drive north. Yet it wasn't his
thought of the long trail up which
few women had ever gone that held
him silent, but the three of them,
Clay and Joy and himself, riding
that trail together.
His silence brought a little scowl
across her dark eyes. "What's the
matter?"
"Joy," he asked, "when are you
and Clay getting mar::ied?"
Her lips parted and closed; the
high color drained from her cheeks.
When she spoke her voice was very
quiet. " I don't know, Lew. \\iny?"
She paus~d and looked away from
him and then didn't wait for his answer. "He's been wanting it before
we started. But I can't, and perhaps I'm not being fair. I'm just
afraid, I guess."
"Afraid of what?"
She brought her eyes back to his
face, and he could feel them trace
the crescent mark on his forehead.
"I don't know," she said. "We've
waited too long. Too many things

more than forty years.
With his pipe going he looked
down and said, "Well, Tom, here I
am. There's one thing I'd like to
know first. Joy says you're moving
north. I thought it was only a trail
herd."
Arnold nodded.
"She's

head lifted sharply in an old challenging fling of his gray hair.
He said, "You needn't look S.J

any longer. The cattle are mine,
yes, but not this." lie waved into
the room. "Nor the land."
"Sold out?"
"No." Arnold turned his head a
little. "Joy, I'd like to talk with
Lew alone."
"Dad!" She sprang up and threw
her arm across his shoulders. She
shook him. "You can't go on keeping things back from me! What's
the use? I'm not a little girl any
morel''
"Well, all right," he said to her.
"You know most of what's happened. You might as well hear the
rest."
She sat down again on the halved
log with short legs and watched his
face.
"We had a bank robbery a month
ago, Lew," he said. "At a bad
time. Trail buyers had been here
making up the1r herds for the nortk.
The money they paid to a dozen Ox
Bow cattlemen was on deposit in
my vaults."
It was charactenstlc of Lew Burnet not to tell that he ::ll ;·~a dy knew
this. He waited.
Arnold's eyes centered t!;ernselves
into the smoldering juniper logs. He
said quietly, "I took the blame. It's
my bank and these cattlemen are
my fri~nds. They'v~ got only small
outfits, and if they lose their money
now it'll break them. I know by
law I don't have to make it up. But
I'm going to. I've already turned
the ranch in for assets. appointed a
new president. and I'm out."
"You pay a big price for your
peace of mind, Tom ."
"It's all a man's got worth keePing," Arnold said . He sat back in
his chair. "I'm making a new start
in the north. That's the only reason, as far as anyone should know,
why I 'm leaving the Little Comanche."
"But there's another?"
The gray ~ead !lodded. "Stc;ve.

On her low seat Joy had made no
sound, but something brought Lew's
gaze down to her and he saw the
tight lines of fear and horror in
her face. She looked only at her
father, and then Tom Arnold's voice

'.'An~. ~hen ir: Wyoming," Arnold
said, 1t s Steve that can make, a

too old now.
"Dad, you aren't," Joy murmured. "What a thing to say!"
Using a sliver of wood Lew explored the hearthstone crack for a
cricket, didn't find him and looked
up to say, "There wasn't much in
your letter. Tom. And 1 know less
since I got here. Like that slampede tonight. I've been wondering
what was behind it."
"My beef contract," Arnold said.
"You know whac's happened to the
price of longhorns up north?"
"I do. Six hundred thousand head
came up the trail last year. There'll
be a million on the march this
spring. That's too many. Unless
trail troubles thin it out a whole
lot a man won't get more than ten
dollars at the end . What does your
contract call for?"
"Three thousand head at thirty.
I deliver the Indian beef at Ogallala
on the first of September. It's my
own stuff I'm taking on to Wyoming."
"Ninety thousand dollars," Lew
figured. "That's H j ack pot for } ou!
You're lucl{y, Torr.."
But Arnold shook his head. "I
would be if my contract was direct
with the government. It isn't. The
Indian Supply Company got a blanket award for the northern reservations th:s year, and I had to take a
subcontrac:t delivering to them. You
can see the joker in that. They
handle all the money and pay me
only when and if I reach Ogallala

have happened now. Whether I'm
married or not doesn't seem so important any more."
"I'm sorry, Joy." He reached
across the table and took her two
folded hands in his big fist, pressed
them and let them go.
In front of the big rock fireplace,
Tom Arnold had done more than
wait. He could hear the familiar
sound of Lew Burnet's talk in the
dinbg room, a slow and easy sound,
and something restful and grateful
had come over him with this knowledge that Lew Burnet was back.
Thinking of Steve, T0m Arnold sat
wholly still, held by a dead, heavy
feeling compounded of loneliness
and a father's defeat. It was his
own fault, he guessed. For he knew
himself for what he was-strict and
unsparing, with a single-minded belief that a man was born into this
rich new land to make the best use
of his time.
The talk in the dining room ended. He heard the chairs scrape
back and thought of another ambition he'd had once and watched die.
Then the two figures were pacing
toward him, Joy with her hand in
Lew Burnet's arm, looking small
and so much a-live beside his
straight high shape. He r cheeks
were flushed. And he understood
what it was in the man that could
make him watch her in an amused
but intently steady way, and the old
he;pe he'd had once rose in him
again.
He smiled. "You get filled up,
boy?"
"I did." Lew grinned. "It's worth
a month's riding to get one of OwlHead's meals!"
Joy re:eased his .urn and sat down
on a halved log with short legs at
her father's knee. He ranged himself beside the fireplace, its blaze
warming him and a sense of comfort sweeping over him powerfully.
This was home. Here in this room

You can help your community
and your country by saving every scrap of paper that comes in·
to your home. Here are a few
simple directions:
When you
have finished reading the news·
p&amp;per fold it the same as when
you received it; any loose paper
like envelopes, etc. should be
inserted in the inside of the paper the same as inserts in the
Sunday paper. Start piling the
newspapers the same as you see
them on a news stand. so half
the paper shows,
When you
have a pile 18 inches hillh, tie
with string or twine. Place the
bundle in a conspicuous p'ace on
your front porch for pick up on
Saturday. Call Crete 5321 if you
have an accumulation in basement.

it necessary to ban the use of glycerine in practically all civilian products, cigarettes, cosmetics, dentifrices and dozens of others.

and long hours of darkness, and
these hazards are more serious on

MOISTURE ON IRON
Question: One of the upright iron
tubular !-beam supports develops
beads of moisture, rusting the support in spots. Cleaning these spots
and coating with aluminum paint is
of no avail. What is the cause of
this and what can be done to eliminate this condition? The moisture
is about the same as that on the
furnace pipe during summer months.
Answer: The problem you have is
the elimination of condensation
caused by metal which is much colder than the moist air surrounding
it. One solution is to box in the
beam with a rigid insulating board
or one-inch wood boards, making
the joints tight. This will keep the
warm, moist air from coming in
contact with the cold metal. The
furnace pipe should have been taken
down for the summer, and, after
cleaning, it should have been given
a coating of light oil and stored in a
dry place.

Damp Floor in Cellar
Question: I have excavated the
space under my porch for a root
cellar that opens to the house cellar. It was necessary to excavate
two feet lower than the basement
floor. I built a concrete wall under
the porch, leaving a dirt floor. Since
the last heavy rains the water comes
up through the ground; sometimes
as deep as three inches. How can
I stop this?
Answer: You should, by all means,
put down a concrete floor. For complete instructions on this type of
work ask the Portland Cement association, 33 West Grand avenue,
Chicago, Ill., to send you their bulletins on the subject.

Stippled Walls
Question: What preparation is
necessary to put paper on a stippled
wall?
Answer: If the stippling is deep
remove the roughest part of the surface by rubbing with sandpaper
wrapped around a block of wood.
The slight remaining roughness can
be filled with a spackle applied with
a trowel. When dry, the wall is given a coat of size and paper applied.
Where stippling is very faint no
preparation is necessary, other than
washing down the paint and sizing
the walls.

Invest in Liberty: Buy War Bonds

but the Tire
Less than two years ago America faced as frightening a situation as any country at war ever faced.
Unless something was done, and done quickly,
we would soon be without rubber.

that unless you, and all tire-owners continue to make
the preservation of tires a vital personal problem
... our home-front transportation will break down
and slow up the war production of America.

And without rubber, no plane could fly, no tank
could move, no ship could sail, no truck could roll,
people could not get to work, materials could not
move to and from plants.
That was the situation the Government and the
rubber companies had to lick inside of two yeara if
America was to stay in the war.

The way out is for you to conserve the tires
you've got-stretch their life in every way you can.

~id~~~~.?
Let's see what you think. Right now, there is
nearly enough rubber to meet our essential needs.
Today, this threat to American victory is merely
an unpleasant memory, because Government,
the Rubber Director, and a group of industries
-rubber, petroleum, chemical, alcohol-work,
ing together, compressed into less than two
years a job that would normally have taken a
dozen years. But .•.
Because the public saw huge synthetic rubber
plants shoot up almost over night, and heard that
synthetic rubber was in large-scale production, they
figured the tire headache was almost over.

Question: I use two 100-foot galvanized clothesline wires. They were
put up new last April and are to
remain out in all kinds of weather.
What can I coat or paint them with,
other than grease, to protect them
and lengthen their use?
Aitswer: After cleaning the wire,
give it a coat of good quality spar
varnish. To get an even coat and
for easy a,pplication, saturate a piece
of cheesecloth with the varnish and
then wipe it on the wire. Since there
will be a great deal of friction, the
varnish gradually will wear off and
you will have to repeat the treatment.

Sheep born in the fall and early
winter, when sold in the suckling
stage between two and four
months of age, arc known as hothouse lambs, says Pathfinder. The
animals not only have to be raised
with special care, but they constitute only one in about every 25.000
sheep slaughtered here annually.
Consequently, their meat is a
rare and expensive delicacy and
most of it is purchased by fine restaurants and oth.er luxury trade.

~-a~!
This is the situation today-the rubber supply
crisis is past, but the long predicted and anticipated
tire shortage is with us.
Why is this so, when thousands of tons of Government synthetic rubber are now being made?
Why is this so, when the rubber industry is producing a tremendous tonnage of rubber products and
more airplane and truck tires than ever before?
Because, as the Baruch Committee foresawthe fact that few tires could be made until we
had our synthetic rubber supply well on the
way, resulted in millions of tires going out of
service without replacement-and those remaining have less milea~e in them. Inventories
of prewar tires are gone.
Because our military needs are way beyond anyone's anticipations.
Because the rubber companies must use a lot of
their manpower and machines to make bulletsealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber
products for war, in addition to tires.
Because half of today's requirements are for
heavy-duty, large-size truck, bus, combat, artillery, and airplane tires, requiring many, many
times the labor and materials of peacetime
needs • . . and finally . . .
Because the manpower shortage hangs over the

tire industry as it does over all industry, and there
are just too few hands for the job.

s~r.tte~
These problems will be licked when our enemies
are licked. Meanwhile, we want to tell you frankly

~~~~~7~
Do no unnecessary driving.
Live up to the government regulation-don't
exceed 85 miles an hour.
Keep your tires inflated up to recommended
pressure, and check them every week.
Avoid hitting boles in the road, or bruising your
tires on curbs or stones. Don't start or stop suddenly.
Slow down for sharp corners.
See that your wheels and axles are in line.
Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five
thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly
for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts.
And-most important of all-recap your
tires as soon as they become smooth.

Though not all civilians will be able to get synthetic rubber tires in the near future, you may be
one of those who will. Therefore, you should know
. . . and remember ... these facts:

FACTS ABOUT
PASSENGER CAR TIRES
The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improvement but it will keep your car rolling through the
emergency.
In many respects, the new synthetic rubber tires
are an unknown quantity.
How they would behave at the phenomenally
high speeds of prewar days is purely academic. The
patriotic citizen knows that high speeds wear out his
treads far faster than the recommended speed of
85 miles per hour, and drives accordingly.
Under-inflation, driving over rough roads, and
other abuses are bad for all tires-but today's evidence is that synthetic tires will stand less of these
abuses than the tires you have been used to.
But, since these tires will be rationed to you in
trust for the nation, it will be your duty to take
every possible care of them, and to prevent misuse and abuse.
As we gain more experience with synthetic rubber tires, more and more things will become known
about them, and the public will be kept informed.

If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they
are properly installed. They should be put into the
tire, then inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And
they should never be mounted on rusty rims.

FACTS ABOUT TRUCK
AND BUS TIRES
On truck and bus tires, particularly in over-theroad, inter-city service, the situation is less satisfactory.
Truck and bus tires are operated under more
severe conditions than passenger car tires. They are
heavier, thicker-generate more heat. They are all
too frequently overloaded, must travel on any kind
of highway their work requires.
Again we'll be perfectly frank about it: synthetie
truck and bus tires now built will not stand all the
abuse that the prewar tire would take, especially
overloading. Progress is being made every day-but
overloading which damaged a prewar tire can ruin
today's synthetic rubber tire.
The Tire Industry is bending every effort to
solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory
and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field.
But a serious threat still exists to our most vital
transportation.
So remember this-while the treads of present truck and bus tires are vitally mportant, the
carcasses of these tires have a value to our truck
operators, and to the nation, that is beyond price .
Unless these tires are made to last and last, there is
almost certain to be a breakdown of truck service.
Every one of these tires must be recapped the
very minute it needs it-before any damage i$
done to the carcass. Speeds must be cut down,
especially on hot roads. Overloads must be
eliminated. Proper inflation is a necessity.
Operators, garage men, drivers, all have a heavy
responsibility that they cannot now avoid. These
are straightforward statements. The warning must
not go unheeded. A new tire warranty recognizes
these conditions, but the real job is conservation I

a~~With conditions as they are, and synthetic rubber in its present stage of development, a new tire
warranty has become necessary and has been adopted. It applies to aU tires. Under its terms, injuries
such as bruises, body breaks, cuts, snags, and heat
failures, as well as tread wear are not subject to
adjustment consideration.
Nor arc injuries or failures which result from
improper tire ca.re or misuse or abuse. This includes
failure as a result of overload, excess speed, improper inflation, or other non-defective conditions.,
Or when tires are used on rims not conforming to
Tire and Rim Association Standards.
Remember-the tire industry, the Rubber Director, everyone is working together with all their
energy, as they have from the outset, to keep
America's wheels turning.

Do your part-take care of the tires you've
got nowl

CLOSED ON THE SABBATH

An air cadet on his firf!.t solo flight
ran out of gas and was forced to
bail out over Topeka, Kan., one
Sunday recently. He crashed rather
heavily on a piece of vacant ground.
People rushed to his assistance.
"What happened?" one of them
asked.
"My parachute let me down-it
wouldn't open," replied the airman.
"WeU. you might have known,•·
said the other; "nothing opens in Topeka on Sundays."

Plant food will play an increasingly important part ln producing m ore"ammunition" crops like com, wheat, potatoes and tomatoes to help v;in
the battle of food proouetion.
CHICAGO.-With 1944 food production goals calling for new peak
outputs of food, fiber and oil crops
from Illinois farms, every available ac re, agricultu.ral implement and ton of fertilizer will be enlist ed in the crusade, according to a
statement made public here by the
Middle West Soil Improvement Comm itt~e.

"New goals for the United States
propose the use of some 380 million

"You take any chemical fertilizer

"less plant injury from fertiliz~r,"
because the roots are not burned.
and "bigger crops :from the same

approximately 165 billion dollars.
Broken down, that represents a
debt of $1,203 for every person in
the country or $5,000 per family,
on the basis of four members.
Interest rates have fallen to an
all-time low of less than 2 per
cent, however.
The present debt contJ'asts with
the one of 55 billion which existed before tile war, when the interest rate aver:1ged 2~ per cent.
Following World 'War I, the public debt reached 26~ billion clollars, with over 4 per cent int~rest.
The present 165 billion dollar
debt does not include over 4 billio:t dollars of government guaranteed obligatjons.

Form TFR-500 Supplies Valuable Information
Concerning American Stake in Foreign
Lands, Aids Reconstruction.
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
When Paratrooper Jones landed
"plop" in the midst of a field he had
never heard of in a country he had
only read about in books, he was
able to lead his comrades direct to
a certain building whose purpose,
importance, construction and contents, almost down to the last nut
and bolt, were all known in detail
by the American high command.
Paratrooper Jones knew just where
to get to the point he wanted to leave
his dynamite and General Smith, at
the headquarters, knew exactly the
damage that would result to the
enemy when that dynamite went off.
Neither would have had that information if a worried banker in
Bingville, U. S. A., hadn't painstakingly filled out Form TFR-500 which
the treasury department had sent
him.
The information asked for concerned American investments in foreign lands, and the information the
government got back made it possible for it to get the detailed blue
prints of the factory that Jones blew
up from the American firm which
had built it and, in this case, the
construction engineer who had
bossed the job.
The function of these annoying
TRF-500's which have already located American investments in 102
countries, the largest single one of
which is seven million dollars and
the smallest forty dollars, serves
other exceedingly useful, if not as
dramatic, purposes.

MANPOWER:
Define Essential 1ndustry
At least 75 per cent of a company's
business must be essential for employees to be frozen into their jobs
under War Manpower commission
regulations.
In plants with essential as well
as nonessential production, only
workers employed on the essential
manufacturing can be frozen into
their positions.
Workers frozen in essential industry cannot transfer to other jobs
without obtaining release from their
employers, unless they can offer evidence that their skills are not being
fully utilized in their occupations, or
they are not being employed full time.

HOGS:
Heavy Receipts

COAL STRIKE:
Agreement Reached

With hog shipments flooding packing centers and many slaughterers
reported shifting receipts to less congested yards, there were rumors
that the government may impose a
permit system to regulate marketing.
During a recent three-day period,
packers received 574,000 hogs, almost 40,000 over the record October
peak of the previous week. With
packers in possession of from three
to ten days' supplies, 250 to 270
pounders brought $14.40 in the Chicago yards, with weights below 180
pounds dropping from 15 cents to
$1 under the $13.75 "floor."
Although the government had
worked out a permit system for
marketing last year, it did not apply it when heavy runs leveled off.
According to experts, preference
would be given to bigger hogs if the
permit system were to be applied
now.

John L. Lewis' 460,000 soft and
hard coal miners were ordered back
to their jobs following agreement on
new wage conditions between the

and Secretary of the Interior Harold

L. Ickes, acting on behalf of the
government which again took over
the pits when a serious strike
threatened.
Bypassing the War Labor board
which had consented only to a wage
increase of $1.121h daily, Lewis and
Ickes worked out a formula boosting
the bituminous miners' daily take to
$1.50. Under the terms, the work
day would be extended to 81h hours,
with miners compensated for the
average of 45 minutes of underground travel time, but with their
lunch time chopped from 30 to 15
minutes.
Anthracite miners will receive 70
cents more daily, 37.8 cents more
by sacrificing 15 minutes of their 30
minutes lunch time, and 32.2 cents
more as a result of a previous WLB
award.

RUSSIA:
Near Rumania
As German forces retreated in the
southern Ukraine, they were only 100
mules from the prewar Rumanian
border, while in the north, they fell
back to within 45 miles of the old
Latvian boundary.
Krivoi Rog remq.ined the focal
point in the southern Ukraine, with
the Germans fighting bitterly to hold
open an escape corridor for their
troops threatened with encirclement
in the great bend of the Dnieper
river. With the Germans holding at
Krivoi Rog, it appeared as though
they were successful in moving most
of their forces from the trap.
Along the Black sea coast further
south, Russian troops continued to
pour over the bleak, barren Nogaisk
plains, with German forces streaming westward toward the Rumanian
border. As a result of recent movements, the battle front in Russia
ran in almost a straight line from
north to south, with the huge
Dnieper river bulge eliminated.

EUROPE:
Food Plentiful
With llh billion bushels of bread
cereals harvested and dairy herds
at high levels, Europe's fuod stocks
appear adequate for the next year
on the basis of repor~s of European

Other Function•
One government official pointed
out to me another important function this information plays in nonmilitary wartime activities. He said:
"The more complete information
the government has on the · total
American stake abroad, the more
successful will be the efforts of our
forces on the fighting fronts, the
more quickly will the Allied Military Government be able to restore
civilian activities in reoccupied
areas, the better equipped our representatives will be to safeguard the
interests of the American people
during the peace table discussions,
and t,he sounder will be the working
out of postwar policies in thEl field
. of international economic relationships.
"This survey of American investments abroad is an instrument of
~ital importance to the future of this
country. Most other world powers
have long since collected similar information. They not only know the
holdings of their own nationals all
over the world but their relations
with those of other countries Their
plans are well formulated to. protect
and develop these investments. Our
government believes we should not
be less well informed."
This official had a particular reason in discussing this situation with
me.
First, he wanted to stimulate the
people who had received Form TFR500 in giving as complete a report
as possible.
Second, he desired wide publicity
in the hope that other American citizens, individuals, corporations, executives of estates, trustees of charitable organizations who might be able
to furnish the information desired,
would get in touch with the treasury
department and turn it over to the
government.

Meat production for 1944 will total
24 bil1ion pounds, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics reported, but
increased government needs will cut
civilian allocations.
More than 96 million hogs will be
slaughtered in 1944, the BAE said,
or three million more than this year.

however, next fall's marketings

The Moscow Conference
Washington correspondents for the
press associations and some of the
country's metropolitan dailies as
well as the network broadcasters
lived on needles and pins for more
than a day and a half before the
news of the agreements reached at
Moscow were released.
-There have been many bad leakages in advance of important international events recently. The state
department, the Office of War Information and the Office of Censorship have done their best to protect
American newspapers and radio
against these violations of premature release of important stories
involving foreign countries.
The
leaks usually have come through
foreign officials who whisper a
few hirrts to some of their newsmen friends. They also sometimes
occur when news dispatches, radioed
in advance for later release, are
picked up by the enemy or are divulged in neutral countries.
Every effort was made to prevent
such leaks in connection with the
Moscow conference. The question
of safety of the lives of British and
American negotiators was involved.
It was feared that if the fact that
the conference was over was publicly revealed, the enerpy might be
on the watch to shoot down the
planes carrying Secretary of State
Hull and British Foreign Minister
Eden and their parties.
Some of us who were affected,
learned on the Saturday before the
Monday of their official release that
copies of the agreements had
reached the state department earlier. We had guessed as much since
the President commented on the
success of the agreement the day
before in his press and radio conference. We were told we would
receive copies as far in advance as
possible which meant t..l-}at someone
representing the various news agencies and networks had to be on duty
day and night. Finally, the word
came Monday morning that the messages were available and they were
given out at ten o'clock for release
at one o'clock. We, therefore, had
three hours in which to digest the
five separate documents.
Fortunately for me, the one
o'clock release made it possible for
me to report the story a minute and
19 seconds after it was given out on
1 my one o'clock network broadcast.

CHAPTER Ill
The Longhorns were still in a
closely packed formation but beginning to string out, wedge-shaped,
with a small bunch of leaders at
the point. Coming abreast. of thes~,
he threw his horse agamst the1r
hard-ribbed bodies, firing his gun
close to the long, gaunt faces.
They were running like frightened
jack rabbits. But they edged away
from his blazing gun. That broke
their galloping stride for a moment.
Slowly the black wedge began to
curve, until in time the point was
bent in and joining to the base. The
cattle were still running, but in an
endless merry-go-round now, getting
nowhere. Their run slackened. Under the pressure of men closi~g. in
they made at last a solid, milling
pool.
He turned his horse off to one
side where a little group of riders
had halted.
In the dust and dark he had recognized no one and had not. been
recognized himself. Then the1r talk
began to reach him.
Someone said, "We're lucky ,
that's all. They didn't get a good
start."
"Wasn't luck either," another put
in "Who was it got up to the point
so. fast?" That was Tom Arnold's
rough low voice.
They were aware of his horse the_n
coming out of the dark, and their
talk broke off. He roue in, grin·
ning. "Hello, Tc:m," he said.
"Lew?" Arnold's low voice lifted.
"Boys, it's Lew Burnet!"
The group moved and they were
suddenly around him, tneir horses
crowding his legs, and he was shaking hands and grinning in the
warmth of friendly faces-Tom Arnold and Joe Wheat and old "Rebel
John" Quarternight, who had taught
him all he knew about cattle.
He was aware, afterward, of one
rider who had remained apart from
these othE'rs, and he called out,
"Hello, Clay."
Clay Manning brought his horse
around. "How are you, Lew?" His
big shape leaned across the sad?le
horn, \\ ilh all expression on a w1de
mouth closely guarded. He was a
high, square-built man, young and
blond and strikingly good-lookmg;
one who could be forgiven, Lew oflen thought, for watching his shadow
on the gr:)und.
There had been some reason for
his wait off there in the dark, but
now, casually enough, he said,
·'Guess you got here just in time.
How'd you come?"
"Down the valley," Lew said and
added, "from Dripping Spring today." At that he saw the brief, direct stare Clay gave him; yet in
the faint light he could read nothing more.
One by one at spaced intervals the
guard riders had come pr.st, and as
their dim figures loomed out of the
dark Tom Arnold had kept close
watch. He swung back now, asking suddenly, "Clay, where's Steve?
You were together."
"I'll look," Clay said and started
off.
Near him Joe Wheat straightened
up his thin slat frame, offering,
"Better take someone. I'll go with
you."
13ut Clay refused with a quick
impatience. "Stay with the guard.
Nothing's happened. Torn, you going back to the house? We'll get no
more trouble now. There's too many
of us. Someone ought to be with
Joy."
"I'm going," Arnold said. "Send
Steve in when you find him. Lew,
come on with me."
They loped into the black valley
mouth side by side, but aware of
Tom Arnold's strict silence he held
down the questions that crowded his
mind

"That's a lot of country," he

That stopped him. He put down

Her cheeks were flushed; the suppressed excitement had turned her
breathless. "I wanted to be the first
to tell you. I asked Dad to let me.
You don't know, do you?"
"No," he said, "I don't know anything."
It burst from her then wildly.
"I'm going north! We're all going.
We're moving up there for good."
"You don't mean with the herd."
"Yes!"
He could only stare at her. There
had been nothing of this in Tom's
letter either; no more than that
he was sending his longhorns on a
drive north. Yet it wasn't his
thought of the long trail up which
few women had ever gone that held
him silent, but the three of them,
Clay and Joy and himself, riding
that trail together.
His silence brought a little scowl
across her dark eyes. "What's the
matter?"
"Joy," he asked, "when are you
and Clay getting mar::ied?"
Her lips parted and closed; the
high color drained from her cheeks.
When she spoke her voice was very
quiet. " I don't know, Lew. \\iny?"
She paus~d and looked away from
him and then didn't wait for his answer. "He's been wanting it before
we started. But I can't, and perhaps I'm not being fair. I'm just
afraid, I guess."
"Afraid of what?"
She brought her eyes back to his
face, and he could feel them trace
the crescent mark on his forehead.
"I don't know," she said. "We've
waited too long. Too many things

was the peace of family
more than forty years.
With his pipe going he looked
down and said, "Well, Tom, here I
am. There's one thing I'd like to
know first. Joy says you're moving
north. I thought it was only a trail
herd."
Arnold nodded.
"She's
We're leaving here for good." His
head lifted sharply in an old challenging fling of his gray hair.
He said, "You needn't look S.J
confounded, Lew! A man has moved
before. And I don't own the Cross T
any longer. The cattle are mine,
yes, but not this." lie waved into
the room. "Nor the land."
"Sold out?"
"No." Arnold turned his head a
little. "Joy, I'd like to talk with
Lew alone."
"Dad!" She sprang up and threw
her arm across his shoulders. She
shook him. "You can't go on keeping things back from me! What's
the use? I'm not a little girl any
morel''
"Well, all right," he said to her.
"You know most of what's happened. You might as well hear the
rest."
She sat down again on the halved
log with short legs and watched his
face.
"We had a bank robbery a month
ago, Lew," he said. "At a bad
time. Trail buyers had been here
making up the1r herds for the nortk.
The money they paid to a dozen Ox
Bow cattlemen was on deposit in
my vaults."
It was charactenstlc of Lew Burnet not to tell that he ::ll ;·~a dy knew
this. He waited.
Arnold's eyes centered t!;ernselves
into the smoldering juniper logs. He
said quietly, "I took the blame. It's
my bank and these cattlemen are
my fri~nds. They'v~ got only small
outfits, and if they lose their money
now it'll break them. I know by
law I don't have to make it up. But
I'm going to. I've already turned
the ranch in for assets. appointed a
new president. and I'm out."
"You pay a big price for your
peace of mind, Tom ."
"It's all a man's got worth keePing," Arnold said . He sat back in
his chair. "I'm making a new start
in the north. That's the only reason, as far as anyone should know,
why I 'm leaving the Little Comanche."
"But there's another?"
The gray ~ead !lodded. "Stc;ve.
A man was kllled m town the mght

I do know he was off somewhere
all that n1ght. He ;,arne back late
the next day, drunk.
On her low seat Joy had made no
sound, but something brought Lew's
gaze down to her and he saw the
tight lines of fear and horror in
her face. She looked only at her
father, and then Tom Arnold's voice

It'll make a man of him or break
him I'm pretty sure."
.. '

It w11J, Lew agreed.
I ve seen
it work both way.;;."
'.'An~. ~hen ir: Wyoming," Arnold
said, 1t s Steve that can make, a
new start, I, hope. Not me. I m
too old now.
"Dad, you aren't," Joy murmured. "What a thing to say!"
Using a sliver of wood Lew explored the hearthstone crack for a
cricket, didn't find him and looked
up to say, "There wasn't much in
your letter. Tom. And 1 know less
since I got here. Like that slampede tonight. I've been wondering
what was behind it."
"My beef contract," Arnold said.
"You know whac's happened to the
price of longhorns up north?"
"I do. Six hundred thousand head
came up the trail last year. There'll
be a million on the march this
spring. That's too many. Unless
trail troubles thin it out a whole
lot a man won't get more than ten
dollars at the end . What does your
contract call for?"
"Three thousand head at thirty.
I deliver the Indian beef at Ogallala
on the first of September. It's my
own stuff I'm taking on to Wyoming."
"Ninety thousand dollars," Lew
figured. "That's H j ack pot for } ou!
You're lucl{y, Torr.."
But Arnold shook his head. "I
would be if my contract was direct
with the government. It isn't. The
Indian Supply Company got a blanket award for the northern reservations th:s year, and I had to take a
subcontrac:t delivering to them. You
can see the joker in that. They
handle all the money and pay me
only when and if I reach Ogallala
on September first.

ago. Now they want to back ou\.

have happened now. Whether I'm
married or not doesn't seem so important any more."
"I'm sorry, Joy." He reached
across the table and took her two
folded hands in his big fist, pressed
them and let them go.
In front of the big rock fireplace,
Tom Arnold had done more than
wait. He could hear the familiar
sound of Lew Burnet's talk in the
dinbg room, a slow and easy sound,
and something restful and grateful
had come over him with this knowledge that Lew Burnet was back.
Thinking of Steve, T0m Arnold sat
wholly still, held by a dead, heavy
feeling compounded of loneliness
and a father's defeat. It was his
own fault, he guessed. For he knew
himself for what he was-strict and
unsparing, with a single-minded belief that a man was born into this
rich new land to make the best use
of his time.
The talk in the dining room ended. He heard the chairs scrape
back and thought of another ambition he'd had once and watched die.
Then the two figures were pacing
toward him, Joy with her hand in
Lew Burnet's arm, looking small
and so much a-live beside his
straight high shape. He r cheeks
were flushed. And he understood
what it was in the man that could
make him watch her in an amused
but intently steady way, and the old
he;pe he'd had once rose in him
again.
He smiled. "You get filled up,
boy?"
"I did." Lew grinned. "It's worth
a month's riding to get one of OwlHead's meals!"
Joy re:eased his .urn and sat down
on a halved log with short legs at
her father's knee. He ranged himself beside the fireplace, its blaze
warming him and a sense of comfort sweeping over him powerfully.
This was home. Here in this room

You can help your community
and your country by saving every scrap of paper that comes in·
to your home. Here are a few
simple directions:
When you
have finished reading the news·
p&amp;per fold it the same as when
you received it; any loose paper
like envelopes, etc. should be
inserted in the inside of the paper the same as inserts in the
Sunday paper. Start piling the
newspapers the same as you see
them on a news stand. so half
the paper shows,
When you
have a pile 18 inches hillh, tie
with string or twine. Place the
bundle in a conspicuous p'ace on
your front porch for pick up on
Saturday. Call Crete 5321 if you
have an accumulation in basement.

(See Recipes Below)

Thanksgiving!
Traditional Thanksgiving turkey
may this year give way to roast
chicken, but the
feast can have all
the spirit of those
you have had in
former y e a r s.
Though your
meal may be less
elaborate, every
food can be done
to a turn, the frills may be just as
intecesting, and your thanks can rise
to a new height.
Let the charm of your dinner lie
in its simplicity. Get the most out
of your food and prepare it to deliciousness. The same vegetables
that you had with turkey can go
with chicken-if turnip puffs or corn
pudding or squash or sweet potato
a.nd apples are a tradition in your
family.
Prepare your chicken with the
same care you would give turkey
and it will look as nice and taste
just wonderful. It's easy enough ~o
truss chicken properly so that 1t
will look nice. Here's one way of
doing it:
Trussing Chicken.
Insert trussing needle through
body of chicken below knee joint and
pull cord through; continue cord
through wings. Tie tightly to hold
wings close to body. Stuff neck
opening of chicken with stuffing and
tuck neck skin under cord. Use another piece of cord, and insert needle through legs' rear joint. Stuff
body cavity and truss opening with
truss pins or cord. Draw cord from
legs around tail piece and tie legs
down close to body.
The stuffing is just as important
as the chicken itsel.l. Have it not
too soggy, not too dry, and well seasoned:
•Celery Stuffing.
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon butter or fat
% teaspoon marjoram
% teaspoon celery seed
Salt and pepper
Water or stock
2Y2 cups bread crumbs
Cook celt\ry onion and parsley in
fat for a few minutes. Add other
ingredients with enough liquid to
hold together and make dressing
slightly moist.
•Roast Chicken.
4 to 5 pound roasting chicken
Salt (% to ~ teaspoon per pound)
Stuffing
Melted fat
Singe chicken, clean, wash and
dr7. Rub inside with salt. Stuff
lightly with celery stuffing and truss.
Rub surface with unsalted fat. Place
on rack in an uncovered roaster,
breast up. Cover with layer of fat
from body of chicken, then with a
clean cloth dipped into melted,. unsaUed fat. Roast, uncovered, in a
slow oven (300 degrees) until tender, basting occasionally with drippings. Season with additional salt
when half done.
Remove cloth near end of roasting
period and allow to brown.
A
chicken weighing 4 to 5 pounds requires 30 to 35 minutes per pound to
roast. A smaller chicken 40 to 45
minutes per pound.

Conserving Fuel: You'll not
only be saving on your own fuel
bills but also co-operating with
government requests if you save
on cooking heat. Here's how:
When using oven, plan to cook
several items in it at once. Meat
and vegetables, and even hot
bread and dessert can all be
cooked in oven. It's poor economy to use both oven and surface

While he was showing it to one

That Picture on the Calendar on Your Wall
Is the Most Widely Known-Also the Most
Profitable-Form of 'Art' in America Today

Released by Western Newspaper Union.

By EL:t.IO SCOTT WATSON

ou gaze upon one there on
Y
the walls of your home or
your office every day and you
enjoy looking at it. Chances are
that you never give a second
thought to that picture on the
calendar any more than you do
to any other familiar object in
your daily life. But the truth is
that when you look at a calendar picture you're looking at the
most widely-known and most
popular form of "art" in America today.
For "calendar art" is truly
the "art of the people" and it is
seen and enjoyed every year by
more people than have seen or
enjoyed the combined output of
all the "Great Masters" in history. Moreover, it's the most
profitable form of art because
the art-calendar business is esThis is one of Andx·ew Loomis' paintings of the Dionne Quintuplets

biggest of the "Big Six," for instance-and you'll learn that they ·
have experts whose business it is to
"keep their ears to the ground" and
find out what kind of picture Mr.
and Mrs. America like best on their
calendars.
They get that kind of picture from
American artists who are outstanding in the field of illustration-from
Maxfield Parrish, Norman Rockwell,
Lawson Wood, Rolf Armstrong, Anton Otto Fischer, Frank Hoffman,
N. C. Wyeth and Maud Tousey Fangel-and a few months later the art
calendar company's giant presses
are turning out full-color or blackand-white reproductions of their
paintings to adorn calendars which
will hang in millions of homes and
offices throughout the United States.
Since our fighting men have been
serving overseas, we've been hearing a lot about "pin-up" girls-Betty
Grable, Rita Hayworth, Dorothy Lamour and other Hollywood celebrities. Are any of these the favorite
"pin-up girls" of civilian America as well as military America?
The answer is "They are NOT I"
The favorite "pin-up girls" in the
American home are five little girls
who live up in Canada-the famous

they've held that honor for the last
nine yea:rs and it's doubtful if any
Hollywood star or curvaceous Powers model will ever displace them
since it seems that the plain people
of America have both figuratively
and literally, pin~ed their devotion
to Annette, Cecile, Yvonne, Emilie
and Marie Dionne, whose childish
charms have been displayed the
length and breadth of this land in
paintings by Artist Andrew Loomis
on Brown and Bigelow calendars.
By actual count calendars bearing
the picture of the Quints have sold
into the tens of millions!
What is true of this picture is true
to almost as great an extent of pictures produced by other artists mentioned above. For they have produced pictures in every field-landscapes, portraits, "leg art" and
nudes, also some of the best known
sporting pictures in the world. Undoubtedly the average American
knows the baby pictures of Maud
Towsey Fangel better than the "Boy
With the Fife" of Manet, and the
Norman Rockwell "Boy Scout" better than the "Blue Boy" of G.ainsboro. He has become better acquainted with the landscapes of Maxfield Parrish, and feels closer to his
famous blues and purples than to the
landscapes of Turner and Corot.
And from daily glances in his office and on his living room walls,
the average American who hunts
and fishes (and there are 15 million
more of him) has come to lrnow and
love pictures like Frank Hoffman's
"At Bay," one of the outstanding
calendar pictures in the Brown and
Bigelow catalogue, better than any
of Rosa Bonheur's masterpieces. No,
the average American may not be
tremendously art-conscious, but he
likes pictures ancl knows what he
likes. Moreover, you'll find what he
likes hanging in his office, home,
garage, work room, and places of
recreation.
And he can hardly wait till his
bank, grocery, gas, or tire company,
or other concern with whom he
does business, or doesn't, sends him
a calendar with his favorite artist's
picture on it. Whether it's a nude
or revealing bit of anatomy by Rolf
Armstrong or Zoe Mozert, or a more
artistic landscape by Maxfield Parrish, a tragi-comic situation painted
in his inimitable fashion by Norman
Rockwell, or a hunting scene by
Frank Hoffman, each of these artists has his fans, and as soon as the
calendar is brought in by the postman, it is unwrapped, and the plain
American or his Missus hangs it up
at the time-honored spot on the wall.
The subjects they like run from
the Dionne Quintuplets to historical
scenes such as Columbus Discoverrng America or Washington Crossing the Delaware. If you think the
present "pin-up" craze is big, remember back to the days when
practically every American home
either hung "September Morn" on
the wall, or fought bitterly about the
propriety and even morality of having it there.
But the favorite subject, according to a Brown and Bigelow survey, has always been the landscape.
The scene must be a homely, comfortable and comforting one-not
the noisy, over-colored, flashy,
modern art. However, the outstanding favorite of the average American, a favorite that has held its
leadershlp for nine years, are the
calendars picturing the Quints. Andrew Luomis' drawings of Canada's
chief peacetime industry have sold

lion at their peak, in 1936, and never
less than a million a year.
Girl calendars, nudes, leggy pictures, what is known to the newspaper man as "cheesecake," are
next in popularity. Men like nudes
best, and steel companies and tire
companies send these to their men
customers, garagemen, contractors,
mechanics, etc. But a close runner
up is the plain picture of a wholesome American girl, the clean-cut
type of young girl of about 17. These
are favorites with storekeepers,
small town banks, beauty parlors,
etc. A more sophisticated type is
chosen by city shops, florists, milliners, and laundry and dry cleaning
places.
Besides the Quints, who are the
essence of human interest, the human interest scenes go biggest in the
average home-pictures like Norman Rockwell's, and the etchings
of a boy and his dog. Religious pictures, which had waned somewhat
in popularity, have spurted recently,
undoubtedly due to the war. And
the subject that is always sure of
its popularity is the outdoor scene.
Even the busiest of executives like
them hanging in the office because
it gives them a chance to relax for
a moment by imagining themselves
in the wide open spaces.
Back in the decade from 1920 to
1930, the mother and child theme in
calendar art was a popular one but
it has fallen off somewhat in the last
10 years. Just why, no one knows.
Calendar makers will tell you that
the idea is "fundamentally sound"
and the only explanation they have
is that no artist recently has drawn
a mother-child picture with exactly
the right idea and technique. Similarly, ship pictures-especially the

REPAINTING CEILING

1

Question: Our living-room ceiling
Cormerly was finished with calcimine. After several years this became dingy looking, and we decided
to take it off and put on casein paint.
The painter tried to wash off the
old calcimine, but it would not come
off. So he put two coats of casein
paint on over it. The fmish now is
bubbling and peeling. What is the
best way to refinish the ceiling? Can
wallpaper be put on t!le ceiling as it
is now?
Answer: Whether you use paint or
wallpaper, all the present finish will
have to come off. Calcimine will
come off when washed with water
containing some household ammonia. To remove the calcimine aJ'Id
casein paint, wash with a solution
of three pounds of washing soda or
trisodium phosphat!l in a gallon of

Odor of Paint
Question: Six weeks ago I painted
my breadbox inside and t;ut with
tlat paint ;md then gave it two coats
of enamel. But whei, I put something in the breadbox overnight it
gets a bad smell. How can I kill
this odor?
Answer: The inside of a breadbox
never should be painted, for bread
and pastry absorb all sorts of odors
readily. Try washing the inside of
the box with 2 solution c~ bicarbonate of soda, using about two tablespoonfuls in a quart of cold water. Or you could use one of the
charcoal deodorants that are intended to absorb the odors in a refrigerator. If these znethods do not
help, your only alternative is to remove the paint down to the metal;
then wash well and wipe dry. If
the bare metal is inclined to rust,
wipe it with a thin coat of mineral
oil.

I am planning to paper
the walls in my kitchen and dining
r0om with washable wallpaper. The
walls and ceilings at the present
tiwe are finished with a rough, colored plaster. What should I do to
these walls before I paper them?
Answer: You can remove most
of the roughness in the plaster by
rubbing it down with coarse sandpaper wrapped around a block of
wood. The remaining light depressions can be filled with a mixture
of glue size, thickened with powdered whiting. For smoothing the
surface, use a trowel. You might
consider using wall cloth, which
comes in handsome patterns and is

However, as the American navy
wins more and more victories, it is
probable that pictures of warships
will appear more frequently.
But whether they choose the
Quints, landscapes, human interest,
or girl art, the American public is
"pin-up" minded. It has been long
before the war, and will be as long
as, about this time of the year, the
postman comes around with a calendar and its picture by the American's favorite artist.

Calendars are made in every conceivable size and shape-from the
smallest which will fit into the
vest pocket to the "jumboes," 29
by 42 inches in size, which will cover a large blank wall. These "jumboes" go well in 'rUral areas where

Emotional Factor in
Rheumatic Children

Rheum3tism receives intensive
study in Great Britain because such
a large percentage of the population is afflicted. Although the damp
climate has much to do with causing and aggravating the symptoms
of rheumatism, British physician~
give perhaps more thought to the
"nervous" or emotional factor in
rheumatism than we do here. Of
co,;rse, all physicians are aware of
this factor and of the relation of that
nervous ailment chorea (St. Vitus'
Dance) to rheumatism.
In the British Medical Journal,
Dr. D. Hubble states that there are
two Darts to the rheumatic state in
childhood-nervousness and infection. Both are present in differing
amounts so that it may be impossible in one child to distinguish any
nervous instability (or lack of nervous balance) or in e.!lother to detect
any evidence of infection. In one
the emotional factor is most pronounced and infection apparently
not present or occurs after the emotional factor is apparently entirely
absent.
As to "growing pains," Dr. Hubble points out that these pains result not from growth of the body
but because of some difficulty attending the growth of the personality
of the individual, and it is easier to
find evidence of nervous instability
than of infection in these cases.
Although many physicians believe
that infection is present first and
causes the rheumatism with emotional instability following, Dr. Hubble states that there is more evidence to prove that the emotional or
nervous excitability occurs before
infection and "probably even prepares the ground for the infection."
How can these symptoms be treated? This is done by removing the
stresses of the child's home and
school life; and by adjusting him to
the surroundings best suited to his
personality.

, Portable Pipelines
Portable pipelines through which
it is possible to pump gasoline from
tankers in a harbor virtually into the
fuel tanks of a plane a thousand
miles away have been developed by
the corps of engineers in co-operation with private industry.
The pipelines, which have passed
successfully the acid test of battle
LOnditions in North Africa, are expected to revolutionize the transport
not only of liquid fuels, but also of
water to troops fighting in arid re·
gions where water-holes are few and
far between.
The most important feature of this
new pipeline is that it is practically
as portable as the tank truck. It
has been des igned so that it cal"
be laid at the rate of 20 miles a day
and can be moved or shifted so as
to cover the most fluid and swiftly

Milk Production Costs
The cost of producing milk on an
average New York farm in 1942-43
was $3.01 a hundredweight, according to an investigation completed
recently by the New York State
College of Agriculture.
As farmers received &lt;ln average
priee for milk of $2.90 a hundred
pounds, the dairymen actually realized only 33 cents an hour for their
work in producing milk, instead of
the 37 cents an h'Jur charged for
labor in figuring costs, says Prof.
L . C. Cunningham of the college.
This l abor wage compares with average factory earning of workers in
the state of about 95 cents an hour.
A study by the college in the 193940 season showed a cost of $2.07 a
hundredweight. . Since . then feed
costs have gone from $1.22 a hundred pounds of milk to $1.55. Losses,
or depreciation in milking herds
have about doubled. Farm wages
have gone from $46 a month in July,
1939, to $76 in July, 1943, but are
s!tll low compared to city wages.

Russia's last nort!t·south railway
came under the attack of Red troops
as they pressed forward on a 70mlle front west of recaptured Kiev.
As the Russians drove against the
railroad, other forces of their army
continued attacks on Nevel, less
than 50 miles from the Latvian
border in the north, and on Krivoi
Rog in the south.
At Krivoi Rog, the Germans continued to hold open an escape corridor for the last columns of Nazi
forces pulling out of the huge bend
of the Dnieper river. where early
Russian attacks had threatened
them with encirclement.
Crossing into the eastern Crimea
from the Caucasus, strong Russian
forces drew up for a major attack
on the 75,000 German troops reportedly massed in the huge peninsula,
guarding the Black sea. The Nazis
held their ground at the north entrance to the Crimea.

ITALY:
Destroy Ports

CROPS:
Weather Helps

Italy's northern ports of Leghorn
and Pescara were blocked by Nazi
demolition squads to render them
usekss to the Allies for future operations or in the event Gen. Dwight
Eisenho~er attempted landings
above Rome to trap elements of five
German divisions holding out in the
mountainous country to the south.
Principal action in Italy centered
on the Fifth army front, where
Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's mixed
British and U . S. forces were edging forward at the mountain passes
at Mignano, to gain the long, level
valley leading to Rome.
Once General Clark's warriors
burst through at Mignano, they still
will have to buck elaborate Nazi
mountain fortresses farther up the
valley at Cassino, which stands some
60 miles from Rome. Because Allied troops must clamber up rugged
slopes in the face of entrenched enemy machine gunners and mortars,·
and U. S. artillery must rake whole
mountain sides to clear out Nazi
posts, progress necessarily is slow.

Profiting from favorable weather,
the 1943 corn crop was estimated at
3 billion, 85 million bushels by the
department of agriculture on the basis of conditions November 1. This
compared with last year's record
crop of 3 billion, 175 million bushels.
With October weather good and
without widespread frosts, the large
acreage of late corn reached maturity in Iowa, Missouri, northwestern Ohio, and parts of Michigan
and Indiana .
Checking summer
drouths, rains perked up late corn
in the South Central states. Record
yields were in prospect for the
Northwest.
Other crop estimates for 1943:
Wheat, 835,816,000 bushels; oats, 1,148,692,000; barley, 330,212,000; rye,
33,314,000; flaxseed, 51,486,000; soy
beans, 206,017,000; rice, 69,019,000;
potatoes, 469,092,000; sugar beets, 7,239,000 tons, and peanuts, 2,681,955,000 pounds-record highs for rice,
potatoes and peanuts.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Hogs Crowd Markets
Chicago's sprawling stockyards
teemed with over 60,000 live hogs
after a high three-day shipment of
128,500 head, which compared with
85,552 for the previous week and 66,418 for the same period of 1942.
As a result, packers paid the
"floor" of $13.75 for only the heavier
weights out of the 200 to 275 pound
range on which the government has
pledged price support. Packers obtained many bargains in classes for
which no "floor" has been constructed.
So called "floor" prices were high
on the flooded market, equalling the
lowest tops since last December.

To get Italy functioning on the
side of the Allies, Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower established a control
commission headed by Maj. Gen.
Kenyon Joyce, formerly of the 9th
service command.
Purpose of the commission will be
to fit the country's agriculture and
industry into Allied war plans, and
to regulate Italian governmental administration.
To prevent any political party
from establishing its hold over the
country through military force, the
commission will control Italy's revived fighting services.
Advising the commission will be SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:

Although production of synthetic
rubber is expected to total 818,000
tons in 1944 compared with 233,000
tons this year, only about 30 million
tires will be manufactured to meet
needs of essential users of cars, light
delivery trucks, taxis and farm vehicles. Ordinarily, 50 million tires
are made a year.
Tightness in the civilian tire supply will prevail becnuse of military
requirements, scarcity of manpower
to operate fabricating equipment,
reduction in the peace time inventory of tires, shortage of rayon cord
for heavy duty tires, and the cut in
crude rubber imports.
To obtain maximum use of present tires, the rubber manufacturers'
committee counseled drivers to preserve their tire carcasses, or bodies,
for recapping by protecting the walls
and not running down treads. Further, the committee advised low
speeds, adequate air for tubes, and
proper alignment for wheels and
axles.

CHILD DELINQUENCY:
Supervision Needed
During the last year, delinquency
among girls has iflcrea'sed 38 per
cent and among boys ll per cent,
Katherine Lenroot, chief of the children 's bureau of the department of
labor, declared.
With 5 1h million women with children under 14 years of age working, and many fathers in service or
sleeping days, a general weakening
in home supervision is a contributing cause for the delinquency, Miss
Lenroot said. More than one million
more women will be needed in industry this year, she reported .
Other factors of delinquency, Miss
Lenroot asserted, are lack of school
facilities in war-expanded communities, and the increase in child labor to five million this year.
"There would be little juvenile delinquency today if children were
treated as as much of an emergency
as armament production," Miss
Lenroot concluded.

The first is "prevention and investigation," and the keynote here
is experience. The 54 officers who
take care of this end of the work
have a total air experience of 33
years, 318 days in the air. These
men, known as regional safety officers (RSOs) are assigned to each
air force and command in the United States.
Here is an example of how the
RSO works. He goes to a certain
field. He meets some cadets who
say they haven't had any breakfast.
He puts that down in his notes. He
looks the place over, notes a ditch
parallel to a runway. He orders the
ditch filled, talks with the mess officer and has breakfast served earlier. Then he tackles the boys
themselves. He gives them a talk
on the importance of instruments.
Three separate moves and the accidents are cut down there.
The second principle is "flight control." Here is where the flight control officer, traffic cop of the air,
comes in . For traffic control is as
important in the air as on the street.
The men of this force offer a
Pilot's Advisory Counsel. This service leads pilots through or around
dangerous traffic or weather conditions.
Suppose the flight control officer
in the Seattle center knows Lieutenant Smith is headed in that direction. He also knows that a "cold
front" is Tl!Qving across his path.
So he radios Smith, tells him to
make for an alternate airport.
No. 3 on the list of safeties is
"safety education."

SaFety Education
Most of the accidents in training

the United States are due to perIinsonnel
error-the fault of the human
being, not the weather or the machine. This education comes through
special movies, through manuals,
through cartoons and posters.
Here are some of the slogans that
help:
"Hitler and Hirohito cheer
when you forget your n:aps · · ·
when yo.u pay no attention ~o telephone w1res . . . when you ]am on
your brakes · . · w~en you don't
check your gas · · ·
O~her points a;e driven home with
~ little s:'lrdon~c hu~or such as
when a pilot thmks he s pretty hot,
he's usually close to burning." "To
grow old in .the natural. way, a ~pot
has to use h1~ luck sparmgly .. ·
The fir.st SIX months of 1943 compared w1th all of 1942,. show these
percentages of reducbon of accidents: .
In pn~ary schools
2.3%
In bas1c schools
5.5%
In advanced schools
11 %
And just see the table for accidents as miles flown go up~
1921-30-Miles flown, 155,818,000accident rate, 2.11.
1943- Miles flown, 3,351,940,000accident rate, .716.
That's how America is learning
safety in the skyways.

Practical Application
If you think that sounds too high
brow, just recall the remark: "He's
had that squint ever since he saw
that terrible accident."
There are a lot more interesting
new meanings clear over to the last
word "zoopsia" which you know all
about if you ever saw "Ten Nights
in a Barroom," the great prohibition play. "Zoopsia" is what we {incorrectly) call " D.T.'s." The definition is "a visual hallucination of animals or insects."
The little book also has an appendix in which there are careful and
more detailed descriptions of the
emotions-anxiety, fear , pride, vanity, etc., which we now know are
as dangerous to our mental health
when they get out of control as a
flock of flu germs are to our bodily
welfare.
I'll give you a definition of the
one emotion which is highly important because when it gets the upper
hand in politics, it can do as much
harm to a form of government as
to an individual.
"Egoism and egotism are not
synonyms. Egoism is &lt;&gt;. self-seeking
desire to gain advantages at the expense of the rights, convenience or
possessions of others. It is essentially antisocial. Egotism is overvaluation of self one's opinions abiltty or clevernes's and correspo'nding
undervaluation of others."
Now, just apply that definition of
egoism to blocs, political parties,
1 nations and you'll see why psychiatry is important in the new
world. The more people who understand it, the more people will understand each other.
The words in "A Psychiatric Word
Book" are important words.

(1) When will the war be over?
I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if Germany cracked inside
this winter. At least another year
to clean up Japan.
(2) What about international cooperation afterwa rd?
I don't know. The feeling I get
in Washington is that there will be
an honest attempt to form an international league, just as it is suggested in the Moscow conference.
(3) Will President Roosevelt run
for a Fourth Term?
I doubt if even he knows that
either. He probably will unless the
war is done and over.

Hutchings, who is the author of "A
Psychiatric Word Book" published
by the New York State Department
of Mental Hygiene and now in its
seventh edition.
This is not a book for laymen but
it is exceedingly interesting to scan
its pages just to see how ordinary
words can achieve new meanings as
new thoughts about new things develop. The word book is invaluable
to the doctor and many others who
will be more and more concerned
with this important study of interpersonal relations-psychiatry.
Let's take a layman's look at the
pages of the little pocket volume.
Starting at the beginning with "aan." Not the simple articles they
look! The definition is not new in
this case but shows the special
meaning the person who reads psychiatry must know. The definition
reads:
"Prefixes derived from the Greek
and having the same meaning as
the prefix un- or the suffix -less.
Without; absence of; not. Cf. amentia, anosmia."
That takes us to amentia which
means (1) absence of intellect; (2)
a state of mind bordering on stupor;
(3) feeblemindedness.
You have heard of behavior but
what is behaviorism? It is "the
psychological theory which holds
that correct conclusions in psychology must relit upon objective study
and interpretation of behavior."
You have also heard of conversion.
Here is the psychiatrist's
meaning of it.
"The process by
which an emotional trauma (that is
an emotional 'wound') after repression becomes converted into a physical symptom in hysteria."

CLAY MANNING.

CHAPTER

IV

"I didn't know myself," she said,
"until tonight. It's Steve. They've
had terrible times this year. And
yet Steve means everything to him.
He sees Steve throwing his life away
and it takes his own life right out
of him." She looked up gravely.
"Lew, you could have helped more
than you did."
Staring off into the room's darkness, he said, "I'll go up the trail,
but that's all. I can't promise about
the ranch."
"Lew." Her hands slid down to
his wrists. "Why, Lew?" Her voice
was low and hushed. "Tell me.
Why not?"
He turned his head and looked
down at her then; she was a woman
with all of a woman's understanding and yet must hear a man say
what was already plain enough. He
saw the fullness and roundness beneath the tight red cloth of her
dress giving her no longer the inno·
cence of a little girl, and there was
that breathless wait in her eyes.
That controlled moment suddenly
left him. He caught her and pulled
her up hard in his arms. Once be·
fore tonight he had kissed her; yet
that for both of them was a kiss of
meeting. He drew her up now with
a violent urge to stir in her what was
so mad inside himself. For an in·
stant she was rigid, and then she
was clinging to him with a turbulent
strength.
He let her go as suddenly as he
had caught her and stood back,
shaken and staring.
Her voice choked. "Lew, I didn't
know." She leaned against the mantel edge.
"You know now."
"Yes." She looked at him, pain
and despair coming into her dark
eyes.

"I reCused and they started making up a herd of their own. Buying
at the cheap price now, they'll save
fifty thousand dollars if they get to
Ogallala with that herd
and
I don't with mine."
"Sure," Lew said, "sure," and a
sudden restless impatience goaded
him up onto his long legs. "But
that's a game two can play, Tom!
What's the matter here anyway?
If a stampede is their deal give 'em
one back. You've come up through
enough trouble to know all the
tricks."
Unaroused, Arnold said quietly,
"I've let Clay handle this."
Lew's glance sharpened on him.
"U trouble's bound to come," he
said "I'd rather settle it now than
on the trail. There'll be grief enough
later. Does Clay know I'm to trail
boss for you?"
"Not yet." Arnold's dark eyes lifted. He smiled. "I'm glad to know
you've still got an edge o~ you!
That's what I've been countmg on,
that and a proposition I'm going to
make." His gruff bluntness returned.
"Now don't get it into your fool head
He awoke in the morning with
that this is a gift. I've got my own
the green streak of dawn beyond
a,:ood and selfish reasons."
Looking down past the man, Lew
saw the breathless way in which
Joy was watching him, her lips parted, all of her body held very still.
And Tom was saying, "I want you
to take a share in this Cross T herd.
A trade. You've got that land in
Wyoming. I've got cattle and no
place to range them. I'm adding a
thousand head of shes and yearlings
to the beef contract. That thousand
head will make a start on the new
ranch-half for Joy and Steve, half
for you."
It was a generous offer, more than
generous, all that he woul_d need,
but with a price that neither of
these two understood. Silenced by
that knowledge, he stared down into
the firelight so long that behind him,
almost in anger, Arnold's gruff voice
burst out, "W-:!11? What's the trouble now?"
''Tom," he said, "I'm sorry. I'll
boss your herd north, and you can
use my range in Wyoming. But I
can't tie myself as a Cross T partner." He saw a sharp breath drawn
between the girl's parted lips a'ld
the old man's sudden blank amazement. "You forget Clay Manning,"
i
he said. "That makes a fourth one
in this deal after a while. There
wouldn't be room."
He was aware of Joy's d eeper quietness and of the fixed stare of her
eyes upon him, and then in that moment's silence an abrupt rhythm of
riders pounded across the ranch
yard.

YORK.-As chairman of

Foods for Freedom, Elizabeth
Reeve Cutler Morrow may look back
to the days when she and her husband went

must have
been given to the groce!"y money
then.
They had turned down a $70 a
month house in Plainfield. N. J., in
favor of one at $60 in Englewood.
They went without a telephone,
since the budget did not allow one.
(That was before Dwight W. Morrow rose to be a Morgan partner
and United States ambassador to
Mexico.)
When Mrs. Morrow's four
children were small she never
failed to find time for a half hour
of reading at supper. The sensitive ears of one of her daughters took in the rhythm of
poetry and gave it out later in
memorable prose.
Earlier, as a student at Smith,
Mrs. Morrow edited the College
Monthly. As a graduate student at
the Sorbonne and as a young teacher, she wrote stories and poems.
After her marriage she produced
five books, including The Painted
Pig. (Three publishers rejected this
successful tale of life down in Old
Mexico.)
Meanwhile, Mrs. Morrow ,ardened. She acted as president
of Smith for a year, and still
serves as trustee. And now, besides concerning herself with
food, she aids the National War
Fund drive and urges a woman
at the peace table.
Her husband must have trusted
her budgeting. He left her the bulk
of his estate. Erect, petite, calm,
with a smile like Daughter Anne's,
she was born in Cleveland, Ohio, 70
years ago.

Thanksgiving!
Traditional Thanksgiving turkey
may this year give way to roast
chicken, but the
feast can have all
the spirit of those
you have had in
former y e a r s.
Though your
meal may be less
elaborate, every
food can be done
to a turn, the frills may be just as
intecesting, and your thanks can rise
to a new height.
Let the charm of your dinner lie
in its simplicity. Get the most out
of your food and prepare it to deliciousness. The same vegetables
that you had with turkey can go
with chicken-if turnip puffs or corn
pudding or squash or sweet potato
a.nd apples are a tradition in your
family.
Prepare your chicken with the
same care you would give turkey
and it will look as nice and taste
just wonderful. It's easy enough ~o
truss chicken properly so that 1t
will look nice. Here's one way of
doing it:
Trussing Chicken.
Insert trussing needle through
body of chicken below knee joint and
pull cord through; continue cord
through wings. Tie tightly to hold
wings close to body. Stuff neck
opening of chicken with stuffing and
tuck neck skin under cord. Use another piece of cord, and insert needle through legs' rear joint. Stuff
body cavity and truss opening with
truss pins or cord. Draw cord from
legs around tail piece and tie legs
down close to body.
The stuffing is just as important
as the chicken itsel.l. Have it not
too soggy, not too dry, and well seasoned:
•Celery Stuffing.
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon butter or fat
% teaspoon marjoram
% teaspoon celery seed
Salt and pepper
Water or stock
2Y2 cups bread crumbs
Cook celt\ry onion and parsley in
fat for a few minutes. Add other
ingredients with enough liquid to
hold together and make dressing
slightly moist.
•Roast Chicken.
4 to 5 pound roasting chicken
Salt (% to ~ teaspoon per pound)
Stuffing
Melted fat
Singe chicken, clean, wash and
dr7. Rub inside with salt. Stuff
lightly with celery stuffing and truss.
Rub surface with unsalted fat. Place
on rack in an uncovered roaster,
breast up. Cover with layer of fat
from body of chicken, then with a
clean cloth dipped into melted,. unsaUed fat. Roast, uncovered, in a
slow oven (300 degrees) until tender, basting occasionally with drippings. Season with additional salt
when half done.
Remove cloth near end of roasting
period and allow to brown.
A
chicken weighing 4 to 5 pounds requires 30 to 35 minutes per pound to
roast. A smaller chicken 40 to 45

That Picture on the Calendar on Your Wall
Is the Most Widely Known-Also the Most
Profitable-Form of 'Art' in America Today

Released by Western Newspaper Union.

By EL:t.IO SCOTT WATSON

ou gaze upon one there on
Y
the walls of your home or
your office every day and you
enjoy looking at it. Chances are
that you never give a second
thought to that picture on the
calendar any more than you do
to any other familiar object in
your daily life. But the truth is
that when you look at a calendar picture you're looking at the
most widely-known and most
popular form of "art" in America today.
For "calendar art" is truly
the "art of the people" and it is
seen and enjoyed every year by
more people than have seen or
enjoyed the combined output of
all the "Great Masters" in history. Moreover, it's the most
profitable form of art because
the art-calendar business is esThis is one of Andx·ew Loomis' paintings of the Dionne Quintuplets

biggest of the "Big Six," for instance-and you'll learn that they ·
have experts whose business it is to
"keep their ears to the ground" and
find out what kind of picture Mr.
and Mrs. America like best on their
calendars.
They get that kind of picture from
American artists who are outstanding in the field of illustration-from
Maxfield Parrish, Norman Rockwell,
Lawson Wood, Rolf Armstrong, Anton Otto Fischer, Frank Hoffman,
N. C. Wyeth and Maud Tousey Fangel-and a few months later the art
calendar company's giant presses
are turning out full-color or blackand-white reproductions of their
paintings to adorn calendars which
will hang in millions of homes and
offices throughout the United States.
Since our fighting men have been
serving overseas, we've been hearing a lot about "pin-up" girls-Betty
Grable, Rita Hayworth, Dorothy Lamour and other Hollywood celebrities. Are any of these the favorite
"pin-up girls" of civilian America as well as military America?
The answer is "They are NOT I"
The favorite "pin-up girls" in the
American home are five little girls
who live up in Canada-the famous

they've held that honor for the last
nine yea:rs and it's doubtful if any
Hollywood star or curvaceous Powers model will ever displace them
since it seems that the plain people
of America have both figuratively
and literally, pin~ed their devotion
to Annette, Cecile, Yvonne, Emilie
and Marie Dionne, whose childish
charms have been displayed the
length and breadth of this land in
paintings by Artist Andrew Loomis
on Brown and Bigelow calendars.
By actual count calendars bearing
the picture of the Quints have sold
into the tens of millions!
What is true of this picture is true
to almost as great an extent of pictures produced by other artists mentioned above. For they have produced pictures in every field-landscapes, portraits, "leg art" and
nudes, also some of the best known
sporting pictures in the world. Undoubtedly the average American
knows the baby pictures of Maud
Towsey Fangel better than the "Boy
With the Fife" of Manet, and the
Norman Rockwell "Boy Scout" better than the "Blue Boy" of G.ainsboro. He has become better acquainted with the landscapes of Maxfield Parrish, and feels closer to his
famous blues and purples than to the
landscapes of Turner and Corot.
And from daily glances in his office and on his living room walls,
the average American who hunts
and fishes (and there are 15 million
more of him) has come to lrnow and
love pictures like Frank Hoffman's
"At Bay," one of the outstanding
calendar pictures in the Brown and
Bigelow catalogue, better than any
of Rosa Bonheur's masterpieces. No,
the average American may not be
tremendously art-conscious, but he
likes pictures ancl knows what he
likes. Moreover, you'll find what he
likes hanging in his office, home,
garage, work room, and places of
recreation.
And he can hardly wait till his
bank, grocery, gas, or tire company,
or other concern with whom he
does business, or doesn't, sends him
a calendar with his favorite artist's
picture on it. Whether it's a nude
or revealing bit of anatomy by Rolf
Armstrong or Zoe Mozert, or a more
artistic landscape by Maxfield Parrish, a tragi-comic situation painted
in his inimitable fashion by Norman
Rockwell, or a hunting scene by
Frank Hoffman, each of these artists has his fans, and as soon as the
calendar is brought in by the postman, it is unwrapped, and the plain
American or his Missus hangs it up
at the time-honored spot on the wall.
The subjects they like run from
the Dionne Quintuplets to historical
scenes such as Columbus Discoverrng America or Washington Crossing the Delaware. If you think the
present "pin-up" craze is big, remember back to the days when
practically every American home
either hung "September Morn" on
the wall, or fought bitterly about the
propriety and even morality of having it there.
But the favorite subject, according to a Brown and Bigelow survey, has always been the landscape.
The scene must be a homely, comfortable and comforting one-not
the noisy, over-colored, flashy,
modern art. However, the outstanding favorite of the average American, a favorite that has held its
leadershlp for nine years, are the
calendars picturing the Quints. Andrew Luomis' drawings of Canada's
chief peacetime industry have sold

lion at their peak, in 1936, and never
less than a million a year.
Girl calendars, nudes, leggy pictures, what is known to the newspaper man as "cheesecake," are
next in popularity. Men like nudes
best, and steel companies and tire
companies send these to their men
customers, garagemen, contractors,
mechanics, etc. But a close runner
up is the plain picture of a wholesome American girl, the clean-cut
type of young girl of about 17. These
are favorites with storekeepers,
small town banks, beauty parlors,
etc. A more sophisticated type is
chosen by city shops, florists, milliners, and laundry and dry cleaning
places.
Besides the Quints, who are the
essence of human interest, the human interest scenes go biggest in the
average home-pictures like Norman Rockwell's, and the etchings
of a boy and his dog. Religious pictures, which had waned somewhat
in popularity, have spurted recently,
undoubtedly due to the war. And
the subject that is always sure of
its popularity is the outdoor scene.
Even the busiest of executives like
them hanging in the office because
it gives them a chance to relax for
a moment by imagining themselves
in the wide open spaces.
Back in the decade from 1920 to
1930, the mother and child theme in
calendar art was a popular one but
it has fallen off somewhat in the last
10 years. Just why, no one knows.
Calendar makers will tell you that
the idea is "fundamentally sound"
and the only explanation they have
is that no artist recently has drawn
a mother-child picture with exactly
the right idea and technique. Similarly, ship pictures-especially the

Question: Our living-room ceiling
Cormerly was finished with calcimine. After several years this became dingy looking, and we decided
to take it off and put on casein paint.
The painter tried to wash off the
old calcimine, but it would not come
off. So he put two coats of casein
paint on over it. The fmish now is
bubbling and peeling. What is the
best way to refinish the ceiling? Can
wallpaper be put on t!le ceiling as it
is now?
Answer: Whether you use paint or
wallpaper, all the present finish will
have to come off. Calcimine will
come off when washed with water
containing some household ammonia. To remove the calcimine aJ'Id
casein paint, wash with a solution
of three pounds of washing soda or
trisodium phosphat!l in a gallon of
water. Then rinse with clear water. When the plaster is clean and
dry, you can refinish the ceiling with
paint or wallpaper.

Odor of Paint
Question: Six weeks ago I painted
my breadbox inside and t;ut with
tlat paint ;md then gave it two coats
of enamel. But whei, I put something in the breadbox overnight it
gets a bad smell. How can I kill
this odor?
Answer: The inside of a breadbox
never should be painted, for bread
and pastry absorb all sorts of odors
readily. Try washing the inside of
the box with 2 solution c~ bicarbonate of soda, using about two tablespoonfuls in a quart of cold water. Or you could use one of the
charcoal deodorants that are intended to absorb the odors in a refrigerator. If these znethods do not
help, your only alternative is to remove the paint down to the metal;
then wash well and wipe dry. If
the bare metal is inclined to rust,
wipe it with a thin coat of mineral
oil.

However, as the American navy

But whether they choose the

Who selects these pictures that
adorn our calendars? (Certainly, not
the grocer or hardware merchant,
or insurance agent, or some other
business man or institution which
provides us with a new calendar at
the beginning of every year.) How
do they lrnow what subjects will be
appealing and draw the eye to the
picture (and incidentally to the advertising message that's usually just
below it)?
Well, the answer to those, and
many other interesting questions
which suggest themselves when you
begin imestigating the subject of
calendar ut, can best be answered
if you P•l a visit to one of the "Big

leather top on a drum table? It

Emotional Factor in
Rheumatic Children

Rheum3tism receives intensive
study in Great Britain because such
a large percentage of the population is afflicted. Although the damp
climate has much to do with causing and aggravating the symptoms
of rheumatism, British physician~
give perhaps more thought to the
"nervous" or emotional factor in
rheumatism than we do here. Of
co,;rse, all physicians are aware of
this factor and of the relation of that
nervous ailment chorea (St. Vitus'
Dance) to rheumatism.
In the British Medical Journal,
Dr. D. Hubble states that there are
two Darts to the rheumatic state in
childhood-nervousness and infection. Both are present in differing
amounts so that it may be impossible in one child to distinguish any
nervous instability (or lack of nervous balance) or in e.!lother to detect
any evidence of infection. In one
the emotional factor is most pronounced and infection apparently
not present or occurs after the emotional factor is apparently entirely
absent.
As to "growing pains," Dr. Hubble points out that these pains result not from growth of the body
but because of some difficulty attending the growth of the personality
of the individual, and it is easier to
find evidence of nervous instability
than of infection in these cases.
Although many physicians believe
that infection is present first and
causes the rheumatism with emotional instability following, Dr. Hubble states that there is more evidence to prove that the emotional or
nervous excitability occurs before
infection and "probably even prepares the ground for the infection."
How can these symptoms be treated? This is done by removing the
stresses of the child's home and
school life; and by adjusting him to
the surroundings best suited to his
personality.

Alkalines Good Cleaners
Special alkaline cleaning agents
with long names make short work
of washing the equipment and uten.
sils used in the food processing industries. Among these are fonns of
phosphate and soda. The army use!'
quantities of these products in its
d.ish-washing machines and to clean
walls and f!:&gt;ors of kitchens and barracks. Other chemicals are employed to sterilize equipment and to
insure that the food products go ou1
!ree from bacterial or other coatam·
illation.
Useful Forage
~e~"' or pea-like plants are proving to ~u~pass by far the con1mon
clovers and alfalfa in usefulness for
forage in many areas, especially on
so-called margbal lands which, to a
botanist, are simply lands for which
adaptable crops have not been .found.
There are, for example, a species
of "lotus" that yields like alfalfa,
a lespedeza from Korea; and "kud.
zu," a trailing, tropical perennial
bean-these are all legumes t~t
have converted millions o.t unproftt.

, Portable Pipelines
Portable pipelines through which
it is possible to pump gasoline from
tankers in a harbor virtually into the
fuel tanks of a plane a thousand
miles away have been developed by
the corps of engineers in co-operation with private industry.
The pipelines, which have passed
successfully the acid test of battle
LOnditions in North Africa, are expected to revolutionize the transport
not only of liquid fuels, but also of
water to troops fighting in arid re·
gions where water-holes are few and
far between.
The most important feature of this
new pipeline is that it is practically
as portable as the tank truck. It
has been des igned so that it cal"
be laid at the rate of 20 miles a day
and can be moved or shifted so as
to cover the most fluid and swiftly
shifting fronts. Furthermore, its use
will free overloaded supply roads
from the extra burden of tank truck

Milk Production Costs
The cost of producing milk on an
average New York farm in 1942-43
was $3.01 a hundredweight, according to an investigation completed
recently by the New York State
College of Agriculture.
As farmers received &lt;ln average
priee for milk of $2.90 a hundred
pounds, the dairymen actually realized only 33 cents an hour for their
work in producing milk, instead of
the 37 cents an h'Jur charged for
labor in figuring costs, says Prof.
L . C. Cunningham of the college.
This l abor wage compares with average factory earning of workers in
the state of about 95 cents an hour.
A study by the college in the 193940 season showed a cost of $2.07 a
hundredweight. . Since . then feed
costs have gone from $1.22 a hundred pounds of milk to $1.55. Losses,
or depreciation in milking herds
have about doubled. Farm wages
have gone from $46 a month in July,
1939, to $76 in July, 1943, but are
s!tll low compared to city wages.

Russia's last nort!t·south railway
came under the attack of Red troops
as they pressed forward on a 70mlle front west of recaptured Kiev.
As the Russians drove against the
railroad, other forces of their army
continued attacks on Nevel, less
than 50 miles from the Latvian
border in the north, and on Krivoi
Rog in the south.
At Krivoi Rog, the Germans continued to hold open an escape corridor for the last columns of Nazi
forces pulling out of the huge bend
of the Dnieper river. where early
Russian attacks had threatened
them with encirclement.
Crossing into the eastern Crimea
from the Caucasus, strong Russian
forces drew up for a major attack
on the 75,000 German troops reportedly massed in the huge peninsula,
guarding the Black sea. The Nazis
held their ground at the north entrance to the Crimea.

ITALY:
Destroy Ports

CROPS:
Weather Helps

Italy's northern ports of Leghorn
and Pescara were blocked by Nazi
demolition squads to render them
usekss to the Allies for future operations or in the event Gen. Dwight
Eisenho~er attempted landings
above Rome to trap elements of five
German divisions holding out in the
mountainous country to the south.
Principal action in Italy centered
on the Fifth army front, where
Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's mixed
British and U . S. forces were edging forward at the mountain passes
at Mignano, to gain the long, level
valley leading to Rome.
Once General Clark's warriors
burst through at Mignano, they still
will have to buck elaborate Nazi
mountain fortresses farther up the
valley at Cassino, which stands some
60 miles from Rome. Because Allied troops must clamber up rugged
slopes in the face of entrenched enemy machine gunners and mortars,·
and U. S. artillery must rake whole
mountain sides to clear out Nazi
posts, progress necessarily is slow.

Profiting from favorable weather,
the 1943 corn crop was estimated at
3 billion, 85 million bushels by the
department of agriculture on the basis of conditions November 1. This
compared with last year's record
crop of 3 billion, 175 million bushels.
With October weather good and
without widespread frosts, the large
acreage of late corn reached maturity in Iowa, Missouri, northwestern Ohio, and parts of Michigan
and Indiana .
Checking summer
drouths, rains perked up late corn
in the South Central states. Record
yields were in prospect for the
Northwest.
Other crop estimates for 1943:
Wheat, 835,816,000 bushels; oats, 1,148,692,000; barley, 330,212,000; rye,
33,314,000; flaxseed, 51,486,000; soy
beans, 206,017,000; rice, 69,019,000;
potatoes, 469,092,000; sugar beets, 7,239,000 tons, and peanuts, 2,681,955,000 pounds-record highs for rice,
potatoes and peanuts.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Hogs Crowd Markets
Chicago's sprawling stockyards
teemed with over 60,000 live hogs
after a high three-day shipment of
128,500 head, which compared with
85,552 for the previous week and 66,418 for the same period of 1942.
As a result, packers paid the
"floor" of $13.75 for only the heavier
weights out of the 200 to 275 pound
range on which the government has
pledged price support. Packers obtained many bargains in classes for
which no "floor" has been constructed.
So called "floor" prices were high
on the flooded market, equalling the
lowest tops since last December.

To get Italy functioning on the
side of the Allies, Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower established a control
commission headed by Maj. Gen.
Kenyon Joyce, formerly of the 9th
service command.
Purpose of the commission will be
to fit the country's agriculture and
industry into Allied war plans, and
to regulate Italian governmental administration.
To prevent any political party
from establishing its hold over the
country through military force, the
commission will control Italy's revived fighting services.
Advising the commission will be SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:

Although production of synthetic
rubber is expected to total 818,000
tons in 1944 compared with 233,000
tons this year, only about 30 million
tires will be manufactured to meet
needs of essential users of cars, light
delivery trucks, taxis and farm vehicles. Ordinarily, 50 million tires
are made a year.
Tightness in the civilian tire supply will prevail becnuse of military
requirements, scarcity of manpower
to operate fabricating equipment,
reduction in the peace time inventory of tires, shortage of rayon cord
for heavy duty tires, and the cut in
crude rubber imports.
To obtain maximum use of present tires, the rubber manufacturers'
committee counseled drivers to preserve their tire carcasses, or bodies,
for recapping by protecting the walls
and not running down treads. Further, the committee advised low
speeds, adequate air for tubes, and
proper alignment for wheels and
axles.

CHILD DELINQUENCY:
Supervision Needed
During the last year, delinquency
among girls has iflcrea'sed 38 per
cent and among boys ll per cent,
Katherine Lenroot, chief of the children 's bureau of the department of
labor, declared.
With 5 1h million women with children under 14 years of age working, and many fathers in service or
sleeping days, a general weakening
in home supervision is a contributing cause for the delinquency, Miss
Lenroot said. More than one million
more women will be needed in industry this year, she reported .
Other factors of delinquency, Miss
Lenroot asserted, are lack of school
facilities in war-expanded communities, and the increase in child labor to five million this year.
"There would be little juvenile delinquency today if children were
treated as as much of an emergency
as armament production," Miss
Lenroot concluded.

The first is "prevention and investigation," and the keynote here
is experience. The 54 officers who
take care of this end of the work
have a total air experience of 33
years, 318 days in the air. These
men, known as regional safety officers (RSOs) are assigned to each
air force and command in the United States.
Here is an example of how the
RSO works. He goes to a certain
field. He meets some cadets who
say they haven't had any breakfast.
He puts that down in his notes. He
looks the place over, notes a ditch
parallel to a runway. He orders the
ditch filled, talks with the mess officer and has breakfast served earlier. Then he tackles the boys
themselves. He gives them a talk
on the importance of instruments.
Three separate moves and the accidents are cut down there.
The second principle is "flight control." Here is where the flight control officer, traffic cop of the air,
comes in . For traffic control is as
important in the air as on the street.
The men of this force offer a
Pilot's Advisory Counsel. This service leads pilots through or around
dangerous traffic or weather conditions.
Suppose the flight control officer
in the Seattle center knows Lieutenant Smith is headed in that direction. He also knows that a "cold
front" is Tl!Qving across his path.
So he radios Smith, tells him to
make for an alternate airport.
No. 3 on the list of safeties is
"safety education."

SaFety Education
Most of the accidents in training

the United States are due to perIinsonnel
error-the fault of the human
being, not the weather or the machine. This education comes through
special movies, through manuals,
through cartoons and posters.
Here are some of the slogans that
help:
"Hitler and Hirohito cheer
when you forget your n:aps · · ·
when yo.u pay no attention ~o telephone w1res . . . when you ]am on
your brakes · . · w~en you don't
check your gas · · ·
O~her points a;e driven home with
~ little s:'lrdon~c hu~or such as
when a pilot thmks he s pretty hot,
he's usually close to burning." "To
grow old in .the natural. way, a ~pot
has to use h1~ luck sparmgly .. ·
The fir.st SIX months of 1943 compared w1th all of 1942,. show these
percentages of reducbon of accidents: .
In pn~ary schools
2.3%
In bas1c schools
5.5%
In advanced schools
11 %
And just see the table for accidents as miles flown go up~
1921-30-Miles flown, 155,818,000accident rate, 2.11.
1943- Miles flown, 3,351,940,000accident rate, .716.
That's how America is learning
safety in the skyways.

Practical Application
If you think that sounds too high
brow, just recall the remark: "He's
had that squint ever since he saw
that terrible accident."
There are a lot more interesting
new meanings clear over to the last
word "zoopsia" which you know all
about if you ever saw "Ten Nights
in a Barroom," the great prohibition play. "Zoopsia" is what we {incorrectly) call " D.T.'s." The definition is "a visual hallucination of animals or insects."
The little book also has an appendix in which there are careful and
more detailed descriptions of the
emotions-anxiety, fear , pride, vanity, etc., which we now know are
as dangerous to our mental health
when they get out of control as a
flock of flu germs are to our bodily
welfare.
I'll give you a definition of the
one emotion which is highly important because when it gets the upper
hand in politics, it can do as much
harm to a form of government as
to an individual.
"Egoism and egotism are not
synonyms. Egoism is &lt;&gt;. self-seeking
desire to gain advantages at the expense of the rights, convenience or
possessions of others. It is essentially antisocial. Egotism is overvaluation of self one's opinions abiltty or clevernes's and correspo'nding
undervaluation of others."
Now, just apply that definition of
egoism to blocs, political parties,
1 nations and you'll see why psychiatry is important in the new
world. The more people who understand it, the more people will understand each other.
The words in "A Psychiatric Word
Book" are important words.

Popular Question11
Here are answers to three questions I was asked most frequently
on a r ecent trip to the Middle West:
(1) When will the war be over?
I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if Germany cracked inside
this winter. At least another year
to clean up Japan.
(2) What about international cooperation afterwa rd?
I don't know. The feeling I get
in Washington is that there will be
an honest attempt to form an international league, just as it is suggested in the Moscow conference.
(3) Will President Roosevelt run
for a Fourth Term?
I doubt if even he knows that
either. He probably will unless the
war is done and over.

Hutchings, who is the author of "A
Psychiatric Word Book" published
by the New York State Department
of Mental Hygiene and now in its
seventh edition.
This is not a book for laymen but
it is exceedingly interesting to scan
its pages just to see how ordinary
words can achieve new meanings as
new thoughts about new things develop. The word book is invaluable
to the doctor and many others who
will be more and more concerned
with this important study of interpersonal relations-psychiatry.
Let's take a layman's look at the
pages of the little pocket volume.
Starting at the beginning with "aan." Not the simple articles they
look! The definition is not new in
this case but shows the special
meaning the person who reads psychiatry must know. The definition
reads:
"Prefixes derived from the Greek
and having the same meaning as
the prefix un- or the suffix -less.
Without; absence of; not. Cf. amentia, anosmia."
That takes us to amentia which
means (1) absence of intellect; (2)
a state of mind bordering on stupor;
(3) feeblemindedness.
You have heard of behavior but
what is behaviorism? It is "the
psychological theory which holds
that correct conclusions in psychology must relit upon objective study

CHAPTER

IV

"I didn't know myself," she said,
"until tonight. It's Steve. They've
had terrible times this year. And
yet Steve means everything to him.
He sees Steve throwing his life away
and it takes his own life right out
of him." She looked up gravely.
"Lew, you could have helped more
than you did."
Staring off into the room's darkness, he said, "I'll go up the trail,
but that's all. I can't promise about
the ranch."
"Lew." Her hands slid down to
his wrists. "Why, Lew?" Her voice
was low and hushed. "Tell me.
Why not?"
He turned his head and looked
down at her then; she was a woman
with all of a woman's understanding and yet must hear a man say
what was already plain enough. He
saw the fullness and roundness beneath the tight red cloth of her
dress giving her no longer the inno·
cence of a little girl, and there was
that breathless wait in her eyes.
That controlled moment suddenly
left him. He caught her and pulled
her up hard in his arms. Once be·
fore tonight he had kissed her; yet
that for both of them was a kiss of
meeting. He drew her up now with
a violent urge to stir in her what was
so mad inside himself. For an in·
stant she was rigid, and then she
was clinging to him with a turbulent
strength.
He let her go as suddenly as he
had caught her and stood back,
shaken and staring.
Her voice choked. "Lew, I didn't
know." She leaned against the mantel edge.
"You know now."
"Yes." She looked at him, pain
and despair coming into her dark
eyes.

"I reCused and they started making up a herd of their own. Buying
at the cheap price now, they'll save
fifty thousand dollars if they get to
Ogallala with that herd
and
I don't with mine."
"Sure," Lew said, "sure," and a
sudden restless impatience goaded
him up onto his long legs. "But
that's a game two can play, Tom!
What's the matter here anyway?
If a stampede is their deal give 'em
one back. You've come up through
enough trouble to know all the
tricks."
Unaroused, Arnold said quietly,
"I've let Clay handle this."
Lew's glance sharpened on him.
"U trouble's bound to come," he
said "I'd rather settle it now than
on the trail. There'll be grief enough
later. Does Clay know I'm to trail
boss for you?"
"Not yet." Arnold's dark eyes lifted. He smiled. "I'm glad to know
you've still got an edge o~ you!
That's what I've been countmg on,
that and a proposition I'm going to
make." His gruff bluntness returned.
"Now don't get it into your fool head
He awoke in the morning with
that this is a gift. I've got my own
the green streak of dawn beyond
a,:ood and selfish reasons."
Looking down past the man, Lew
saw the breathless way in which
Joy was watching him, her lips parted, all of her body held very still.
And Tom was saying, "I want you
to take a share in this Cross T herd.
A trade. You've got that land in
Wyoming. I've got cattle and no
place to range them. I'm adding a
thousand head of shes and yearlings
to the beef contract. That thousand
head will make a start on the new
ranch-half for Joy and Steve, half
for you."
It was a generous offer, more than
generous, all that he woul_d need,
but with a price that neither of
these two understood. Silenced by
that knowledge, he stared down into
the firelight so long that behind him,
almost in anger, Arnold's gruff voice
burst out, "W-:!11? What's the trouble now?"
''Tom," he said, "I'm sorry. I'll
boss your herd north, and you can
use my range in Wyoming. But I
can't tie myself as a Cross T partner." He saw a sharp breath drawn
between the girl's parted lips a'ld
the old man's sudden blank amazement. "You forget Clay Manning,"
i
he said. "That makes a fourth one
in this deal after a while. There
wouldn't be room."
He was aware of Joy's d eeper quietness and of the fixed stare of her
eyes upon him, and then in that moment's silence an abrupt rhythm of
riders pounded across the ranch
yard.

They had turned down a $70 a

They went without a telephone,

(That was before Dwight W. Morrow rose to be a Morgan partner
and United States ambassador to
Mexico.)
When Mrs. Morrow's four
children were small she never
failed to find time for a half hour
of reading at supper. The sensitive ears of one of her daughters took in the rhythm of
poetry and gave it out later in
memorable prose.
Earlier, as a student at Smith,
Mrs. Morrow edited the College
Monthly. As a graduate student at
the Sorbonne and as a young teacher, she wrote stories and poems.
After her marriage she produced
five books, including The Painted
Pig. (Three publishers rejected this
successful tale of life down in Old
Mexico.)
Meanwhile, Mrs. Morrow ,ardened. She acted as president

A unique American family is
that of the Irish Horse Traders
whose 4,000 members, all related
by blood or by marriage, spend
most of their time traveling
through the South in small groups
trading horses and mules. Their
one official acidress is an undertaking establishment in Atlanta to
which they ship their dead and
where they meet for a week every
April to celebrate marriages and
to hold their annual mass funeral.

there, the last thing George S. Patton Jr., the commanding general,
saw as he left for a secret rendezvous in Africa. His wife, he knew,
waited inside the car.
Now Mrll. Patton broadcasts
over short wave to the women
of France, announcing herself
as the wife of a man In the
service. She has earned laurels
at that job since the day Lll 1940
when Boston socialite Beatrice
Ayer, of the American Woolen
company Ayers, married a hell·
for-leather young cavalry lieutenant.
Beatrice Ayer Patton likes the
army. In no other career except
the ministry, she says, can a wife
be so helpful. When her bright-eyed
roaring general used to give his men
those famous pep talks, she listened
OD the sidelines to report reactions.
At dinner parties she sometimes
reads aloud from the poems the general so surprisingly writes.
She herself had authored a
best-selling novel, "Blood of the
Sharks," and a volume of HawaUan legends. She and the
reneral like to cruise in their
60-foot schooner tbe If and When.
They like to ride; their old farmhouse at Hamilton, Mass., is full
of borse show ribbons. One son
is in West Point; two daughters
are married into the army. Mrs.
Patton advises army wives m•t to

Let's keep them wrong!
lh• Japa wer• wrong.
Cutting off our rubber supply in the :Pacific didA't
take us out of the war-or eveD slow us up.
For Government. the Rubber Director, the rubber industry. and. the petroleum, chemical, and alcohol industries pooled their patents and ideas, worked together, and
accomplished the seemingly impossible.

Today, there is no shadow of a doubt that our planell
will continue to fly, our ships to sail, our tanks to roll.
For America now has nearly enough rubber to
meet our essential needs!

The American people saw the new synthetic rubber
plants spring up like mushrooms. They heard of large-scale
production of synthetic rubber. And they applauded. Unfortunately, they alao jumped to the conclmion that they
oould .dop worrying about tire3!
It is true that the RUBBER supply crisis is past.
But the long-expected TIRE shortage is with us!
..But,.. you may say, "how can this be when thou-

l&amp;llds of tons of Government synthetic rubber are being
made ••• when such a tremendous tonnage of rubber products is being turned out. as well as more airplane and truck
tires than ever before.,.
One reason is that-as the Baruch Committee foreaaw-few tires could be manufactured until our synthetic
rubber supply was well, on the war. This resulted in millions of tires going out of use at a tune when there were no
replacements. Meanwhile, tires left in service have less
mileage in them, and prewar inventories are gone.
Another reason is that our military needs are far
1reater than anyone anticipated.
Also, the rubber companies are using a lot of
their machinery and manpower to tum out life
rafts, bullet-sealing fuel tanks, and hundreds of
other urgently-needed army and navy products,
In addition to tires.
And you should know that half of today's requirements are for large-size, heavy-duty bus, truck, artillery.
airplane, and combat tires, requiring much more labor and
materials than peacetime products.
Finally, the tire industry, like every industry today,
Ia feeling the manpower shortage, and there just aren't

enough hands for the job.

These problems will be overcome when our enemies
are overcome. Meanwhile, we want to put our cards face
up on the table.
We've told you frankly why there is a serious tire
ahortage. Now we want you, and every other American
who owns a set of tires, to know that thiq country's transportation system can still suffer a serious blow •.. unless

you make it you!' personal duty to take care of the tires
yo11 now own.

Do no unnecessary driving.
Live up to the Government regulation-don't exceed
85 miles an hour.
Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure,
and check them every week.
Avoid hitting holes in the road, or bruising your tires
on curbs or stones. Don't start or stop suddenly. Slow
down for sharp comers.
See that your wheels and axles are in line.
Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five
thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts.
And .. ,. most important of all ••• recap your tires
as soon as they become smooth.

HOW GOOD ARE PASSENGER CAR
TIRES OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER?
It may be a long time before all civilians can get synthetic rubber tires. Meanwhile, if you should be one of the
few who do get them, :~~ou will want this information;
Synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars are good
tires, and will give you satisfactory service if you take
care of them.
).'olJ. should not think of synthetic rubber tires as imP,.oved tires . •.. but as..emergency tires. And remember that
they have not yet had time to prove what they can do.
It is beside the point to theorize on how they would
react to the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days.
Every patriotic American knows that tire treads . . . aU
tire treads . •• wear out faster at high speeds, and so drives
at today's recommended speed of 35 miles an hour.
As time goes on, we will learn more about the effects
of under-inflation of rough roads, and of other abusell.
They damage all tires. Indications are that they do p:&lt;oportionately more harm to synthetic rubber tires.

Meanwhile, all tires are rationed to you in trust
for the nation, and it is your duty to take every
possible care of them, to avoid misuse and prevent abuse.
As experience teaches us more and more about synthetic rubber tires, we will pass the information along to
you. Meantime, play safe Be careful!
If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure tney are
properly installed. They should be put into the tire, then
inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And they should
never be mounted on rusty rims .

TRUCK AND BUS TIRES
ARE A DIFFERENT STORY
Truck and bus tires, being larger and heavier, generate

more heat. They are given long, hard usage on all kiDde
of highways. They are all too frequently ove.doaded.

Frankly, \oday's synthetic rubber b1,15 aud truck tire.
will not stand the abuse that prewar tires would stand, especially overloading. Progress is being made daily-but
overloading which would have cW.maged a prewar tire C&amp;D
r11in today's synthetic tire.
The Tire Industry Is doing Its utmost to aolve
the serious problem of providing the nation'•
trucks and buses with satisfactory tires in aufti•
clent quantities.
But until this problem is solved, a dangerous threat
exists to America's most vital transportation.
Therefore, while treads of present truck and bus tires
are immensely important ... the carcasses of these tires !taN
a value be'!Jond all price to America, and to America's truck
and bus operators!
Unless tires now in use are made to last, these two
essential services will almost certainly break down I

These tires ••• every one of them •• : must be recapped the in.stant the tread wears smooth •••
before any damoge is done to the carcass•
They must be recapped not once, but again and
again! High speeds must be done away with •••
espeCially on hot roads. Overloads must be
avoided. Tires must be properly inflated at aU
dtnes.
The responsibility to take care of thelle tirell ••• to

ly mashed pumpkin, turnip or sweet
potato in place of squash.

Mushrooms, rich in minerals and
the B complex vitamins, combine
with beef and give a tasty, nutritionally satisfying casserole.
One of the common ways of making meat points stretch their furthest is the habit of buying a large
piece of meat and making it do for
several meals. In this way, the family can have the pleasure of a roast
from a large- piece of meat done to
succulence, then the homemaker
can easily fashion meat dishes for
at least 2 or 3 meals out of that
which is left.
Unfortunately foods do not taste
as good the second day as the first.
Flave:rs seem to
fall asleep, the
me at becomes
dry and insipid,
and the family becomes tired of
what they sniffingly refer to as
leftovers. This needn't be the case
if you spend a little time and effort
waking up the leftovers and making
them just as appetizing as the food
in its first form.
Chicken is first-rate when served
in these ways:
•country Chicken Loaf.
(Serves 6)
2 cops diced cooked chicken
¥2 cup chopped cooked carrots
1 cup cooked peas
¥2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
liz cup milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion juice
1 teaspoon salt
Y!l teaspoon pepper
Force chicken, carrots and peas
through a food chopper. Add remaining ingredients and place in a
greased loaf pan or a ring mold.
Bake about 40 minutes in a moderate oven until firm. Serve with
cream of mushroom sauce.
Chicken Yorkshire.
(Serves 6)
2 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 eggs
¥2 cup drippings, melted
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
% teaspoon salt·
Leftover gravy
Place chicken in bottom ot greased
casserole with gravy. Set in oven to
heat. Beat eggs,
drippings
a nd
m i 1 :t together.
Sift dry ingredients together, add
to liquid ingredients and beat until free from all
lumps. The batter will be quite thin. Pour over
chicken ant:l bake at once in moderate (350-degree) oven. Serve from
baking dish with gravy.
Meat leftovers, even if they are
few, can give a rich meaty taste if
they're used in this way:
Meat and Rice au Gratin.
(Serves 6)
2 cops leftover meat, diced
1\filk or soup stock
2 cups boiled rice
2 tablespoons fat
¥2 cup grated cheese
1 teaspoon salt
¥s teaspoon pepper
Cut meat into small piec~s and
moisten with stock or milk. Spread
Lynn Says:
Fats Are Important: Fats produce glycerine needed to make
munitions. Take home all fat and
bone trimmings you pay for with
your meat. Fats that you don't
use will be bought by some markets.
Accumulated sausage and bacon fat can be used for frying potatoes, eggs, fish, hash, chicken,
or even in waffles, cornbread or
gravy.
Fats from roasts, chops and
steaks can be clarified by heating 4 slices of potato with 1 quart
of fat over low heat until fat bubbles. Strain through several thicknesses of cheesecloth and store in
light-proof, tightly covered container. Use this clarified fat for
making spice and chocolate cakes
and cookies.

A bit of braised chicken garnished
with buttered carrots, potato balls
and celery leaves won't be a drain
on points but will boost your menus.
Recent research reveals that
mushrooms have a mineral content
somewhat higher than many other
vegetables and fruits. Potassium
and phosphorus are available along
with appreciable amounts of copper and iron. Mushrooms are also
one of the best plant sources of the
B complex vitamins. Used to extend meats, mushrooms are not only
nutritionally satisfying, but they can
add zest and flavor even to the simplest of foods:
Casserole of Beef and Mushrooms.
(Serves 6)
1llz to 2 pounds short ribs of beef
Floor, seasoned with salt and pepper
~ teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup water
2 stalks celery, chopped
6 scallions
1 8-ounce can mushrooms
1 small onion sliced
2 to 3 carrots, sliced
3 medium-sized potatoes, quartered
Cut short ribs in individual squares
and flour them. Brown in a small
amount of fat in heavy skillet. Remove to casserole. Add sliced onion, vinegar, thyme, water and drippings in skillet, stirring until well
blended; pour over meat. Cover
and roast in slow oven (300 degrees)
until tender, about 2 hours. Add
vegetables and mushrooms with liquid and continue cooking 30 to 40
minutes. Add more water if necessary.

Question: Should the outside of my
gravity-feed hot air furnace become
intensely hot, regardless of how cold
it is outdoors?
Answer: Ordinarily hot-air furnaces are not insulated; but if the
outside shell of the furnace is very
hot, cover it with insulation-such
as three layers of corrugated asbestos paper or a rock wool blanket.
Cover the sloping top of furnace with
asbestos cement.

wood, and what type of lacquer
should I use?
Answer: Smooth the wood by rubbing with fine sandpaper, and then
clean the surface by wiping with
benzine being extremely careful of
fire. Get the brushing variety of
lacquer, and follow carefully the
manufacturer's directions on the
can.

Mold and Musty Odor
Question: We moved into a firstfloor flat two months ago and are
having trouble with our overstuffed
set. It is moldy and has a musty
odor. There is no basement under
the house; the floor is 21h feet from
the g!'ound. What should we do
about the moldiness?

I

Answer: The moldiness comes
from the earth under the floor. If a
concrete floor .in the basem~nt is
out of the q';lestwn, the be~t thmg to
do is t? pa~nt . the unders1de of t~e
floor Wlth hqu1d tar or as~hal~. meluding the ~earns. The ,urmture
should be a1red in the sun on a
bright day and . it should be well
brushed on all s1des.
• • •
Pai.nting Plywood
Question: I have remodeled my
kitchen, placing plywood on side
';Valls and ceiling. I should like to
paint the kitchen white. What would
you suggest for the first coat?
Answer: Clean the wood and see
that it is smooth, and then apply a
first coat of enamel undercoater or
flat paint thinned with a pint of raw
linseed oil to the gallon of paint.
After the first coat is dry, put on
a second coat of undercoater or flat
paint. When dry, smooth the surface by rubbing lightly with No. 000
sandpaper. Wipe off the dust and
finish with a good quality quick-drying enamel.

• • •

Bole in a Tile Wall
Question: I tried to fill a hole in
a tile wall through which a valve
of a hot water pipe projects with
plaster of paris and cement. After
a slwrt time the filling falls out.
What can you suggest?
Answer: When using cement, always wet down the old surfaces with
water before putting the patching
cement in place. After the hole has
been filled, do not use th&lt;! hot-water
line until the cement has hardened;
otherwise, the hellt in the pipe will
dry out the cement before it has
become set.
Six to eight hours
should be allowed.

• • •

Closed Rouse
Question: When closing our country house, should we leave the oil
burner running or shut it off? There
would be only occasional attention
given to it.
Answer: When a house is to be left
unoccupied for a long time with little or no inspection, the oil burner
should be shut off. It should not be
allowed to operate without frequent
attention. It also is a waste of fuel
to heat a vacant house.

Stained Chair Back
Question: A chair upholstered in
flowered silk was stained on the back
by perspiration, which left a big
round mark. How can I take off
this mark?
Answer: For best results have the
chair cleaned by a good upholsterer. If you wish to try the job your·
self, you may be able to get the
stain off with a spot-removing liquir1
preferably noninflammable. Folio\\

"Jeep Disease" and "Destroyer

Because of rough riding in mechanized vehicles, many Doughboys
have been afflicted with "Jeep Disease.'' a formation of cyst near the
base of the spine, with aggravations
resulting from further jostling.
Sometimes, the abnormality is no
more tban a pimple. The medics
chief problem is to discover which
cases are serious enough for surgery.
"Destroyer Stomach" bas been
found most frequently in men serving in the rough waters of the North
Atlantic and is marked by a form
of subacute gastritis due to protracted sea sickness, irregular meals and
constant nervous tension.

Some weeks before Secretary Hull
left for his Mission to Moscow, I
interviewed him in his office in the
state department. Shortly after he
returned, he received a number of
us in that same ~f'fice and gave us
an informal talk about his trip.
One of the things which impressed
me greatly as r heard the secretary
in the course of the hour-long meeting, telling us sidelights on his remarkable experience, was the way
one word which he had used in his
talk with me kept cropping up again
and "'gain. It was the word "understanding." He applied it to personal
relationships and exchanges between the members of the tripartite
meeting and to the whole discussion
and the decisions which grew out
of it.
It seemed to be a case of progressive understanding.
In our first conversation, the secretary, indicating the papers which
covered his great desk, said they
all dealt with Russia. I did not know
then that there was to be a Moscow
meeting. And he made the point
with considerable emphasis, that
there was so much suspicion on the
part of persons discussing the Russian situation that it was exceedingly hard to work toward an agreement.

RUSSIA:
Cut Nazi Railroads
Two important railroads in Russia
linking German armies of the north
with those of the soutb, and running
westward into the big pre-war Polish
cities of Warsaw and Lwow, were
cut by the Red armies.
As the Russian forces severed
these major German arteries, Nazi
forces launched a strong counterattack against the Reds in the vicinity
of these rail lines, gaining some
ground. But here, as further to the
south where the Germans claimed
500,000 Russians were hammering
them above Krivoi Rog, the Nazi
positions still were in a fluid state.
To the north, the Reds pecked at
the Nazi base of Gomel, serving as
the southern anchor of their Baltic
line which is hinged on Finland. Ten
classes of reservists in the Baltic
states have been called to military
service by the Nazis.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Action Spreads
With U. S .. forces being strengthened on Bougainville for a major
drive against the 40,000 Japs reportedly defending their last stronghold
in the Solomons, Liberator bombers
lashed against the enemy's tiny Gilbert and Marshall Island possessions, standing out like pesky little
thorns along our supply routes to
the battle areas.
Warding off Jap blows from the
air, U. S. warships moved up Bougainville's west coast to pound the
enemy's big airplane base of Buka.
Absence of strong elements of the

was concentrating his formidable
naval force on protection of his 1,500
mile sea lane running from Japan

In New Guinea, Australian forces

While Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson announced the war department was giving serious study to
peacetime disposal of its holdings
of 43,181,183 acres of land, it was revealed the federal government
owned 383,600,533 acres.
Federal land holdings were equal
in size to the combined areas of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Alabama, Kentucky and
Indiana.
Adding to the federal government's
vast land holdings, the army and
navy purchased 15 hotels at a cost
of $15,000,000. Some of these hotels
have been returned to private ownership, like the Stevens in Chicago,
bought for $5,528,101 and sold for

OIL:
Seek New Wells
With a projected goal of 24,000
new oil wells in 1944, prospects
loomed for increased activity in
the Rocky Mountain states.
Of the 24,000 new oil wells, 5,000
are to be exploratory and the remaining 19,000 development projects. The immense Powder river
basin in the northeastern section of
Wyoming and southeastern section
of Montana might prove the focal
point of operations.
Congressional action in reducing
royalties on discoveries on public
domain to a flat 12.5 per cent for
the duration and 10 years afterward
furnishes incentive for action in the
Rocky mountain region.

Lend-lease food shipments abroad
equal one-eighth of the U. S. supply,
the Foreign Economic administration revealed. Civilians are receiving three-fourths of the production.
Figures show that in the first nine
months of this year, lend-lease food
shipments include 3.2 per cent of
total milk products; 10.6 per cent of
dried eggs; 13.9 per cent of edible
oils and fats; and 21.2 per cent of
canned fish.
Shipments of canned fruits and
juices equal 2.5 per cent of total
supply; dried fruits, 21.1 per cent;
canned vegetables, 1 per cent; dried
beans 10.3 per cent; dried peas, 14.2
per cent; corn and corn products, 0.1
per cent; wheat and wheat products, 0.9 per cent; and butter, 2.5
per cent.

WAR GARDENS:
HIGHLIGHTS.
WAR PRODUCTION: The peak
demand in war production has been
passed, Harry Moulton, president
of the Brookings Institute, recently
told the American Finance conference in Washingtc.:1. He said that
stocks of raw ma.erials have become entirely adequate, and even
excessive in some cases. More
and more cancellations of war goods

ELECTRIC ffiONS: Two million
electric flatirons will be manufactured and sold next year, if the WPB
will release materials.
Arthur
Whiteside, vice chairman of WPB
in charge of civilian needs, has requested that enough metal and other
material be allowed to make 500,000
irons in the first quarter of 1944.
About three million irons were sold
annually, before the war.

Victory gardeners will be expected to raise at least 25 per cent more

monarch, Britain; one with a communistic form of government, Rus·
sia; and one, a democratic republic,
the United States.
The test came in Italy. After the
parleys at Moscow, the AMG was
limited in its functions, taking over
only the districts nearest the front.
An Allied military commission was
formed which is making maximum
use of the local native civilian officials.

Italian Government
But what about the government
which the Allies would accept as
satisfactorily representing the will
of the Italian people? Surely Britain
would demand that monarchy be
given a chance to remain in power.
Surely Russia would have no traffic with kings a'nd would instead demand a strong left-wing set-up.
The supposed American compromise was a temporary regency, that,
is, a liberal regent such as Count
Carlo Sforza who was in exile from
the Fascist regime and who left
America shortly after the surrender
of Italy. The little son of the crown
prince would remain the symbolic
head of the state. Many said that
neither Russia nor Britain would accept this suggestion.
However, although no definite step
has been taken, semi-official sources
have indicated that when Rome is
recaptured and Marshal Badoglio,
now premier, steps out, there will
be virtual agreement on the part of
the three victor nations on the American compromise. All that remains
will be an agreement on the part of
the Italian people. Even if the lat·
ter is not achieved, there is evidence enough already of tripartite
compromise and unity to seem to
confirm the success of the Mission to
Moscow.

Then, in his talk on his return,
he repeated this thought, saying that
many people, because of their deep
prejudices, had made it hard to
bring about an understanding between the three nations. He said
that when he left for Moscow, he
felt that much of the misunderstanding was due to misinformation which
all the parties shared concerning the
others. In order to correct that,

CHAPTER V
Clay Manning and Ed Splann
followed the galloping animal in to
the nearest fire, where Splann
caught his forelegs in a loop and
threw him expertly. This huge
bearded fellow was a cow hand all
right, Lew admitted. But there was
something else. Watching, while the
hot Cross T iron was run on the
steer's shoulder, he felt again the
strain of Clay Manning's unnatural
sUence, sitting his horse there close
saying nothing.
He turned his gaze up the valley
and saw Tom Arnold coming from
the creek-bottom trees and paused
then with his eyes fixed upon the
pole fences of the dipping chute,
like two wide-open arms reaching
out for an eighth of a mile.
Then Clay Manning said idly,
"What took you to the rims this
morning?"
"The view," he said, his eyes still
speculating on the dipping chutes.
"Always did like it from up there."
"That all?" Clay's voice was
roughly edged. "I'd like to know."
"Clay," he said, "you've got noth·
ing against me. You don't like my
coming back to be trail boss for
Tom, sure. But it's only because
trailing has been my business these
years. You'll still be Tom's foreman
and segundo on this trip. If the
Cross T ever gets north, Clay, we'll
have to work together. That's a
fact."
He saw his plea have a strange
effect in the blue eyes, troubling
tl1em with a hounded look. And it
seemed to bring Clay out into the
open for an instant. Bitterly he said,
"Lew, there's more happened here
than you know. I can' t mAke any
promises." He closed his mouth on
that.
"All
right,"
Lew
accepted.
"There's something I do know. From
the rims I could see herds going
north while we're not even ready.
There's a faster wa!' to do this
branding if you want to try. Trick
I saw worked last year."
"How's that?"
"Use the dipping chute. Roping's
too slow. We could run this whole
bun&lt;::h through by dark tonight."
Ed Splann had flipped his loop
free from the branded steer and had
turned toward ther.~ He brought
his horse to a stop close beside
Clay's in time to hear this last talk.
He leaned forward in his saddle.
"What kind of schoolboy game is
that? What's the matter, Burnet,
can't you use a rope?"
Lew looked at him steadily, saying nothing. Somehow in this man
he saw a trouble center on the Cross
T. There was a surly sureness about
him, more than the arrogance of
brute strength. He wondered again
why Clay would tolerate his sort in
the crew.
Then, as if made more bold and
s ure by that silence, Splann goaded,
''Leave him try his schoolboy trick!
Come on, Clay."
Suddenly this early morning's
calm decision to keep things running without trouble was gone. He
understood that he was being ribbed
into a fight. It was what Splann
wanted, a showdown. It might as
well come now as later.
He swung his horse to get Clay
from between them. But in that
siime instant, incredibly fast, a gun
was in the man's right fist. There
was no smokiness in his eyes now.
They were only a cold, hard gray,
unblinking.
"Now you," he began, but Clay's
.quick warning cut him off.
"Careful, Ed! Some body's coming!"
It was Tom Arnold pounding toward them, his horse flung forward
m a rush that swept along a dust
.cloud when he stopped. "What the
hell's going on here?" He glared at
Splann's drawn gun. With a hot
violence unlike him in a crisis he
blazed, "Clay, is this all you've got
to do?" He swung his angry stare.
"Lew, what's wrong?"
"Little argument, Tom. Nothing
much."
''Well! What about?"
"Difference of opinion mostly.
Had an idea we could hurry up this
branding by using your dipping
.chute. You build your fires alongside, push the animals through and
run U1e iron on them as they pass.
I've seen it work."
Arnold considered it, the anger golng out of him. "Well, Clay," he
asked, "what's the objection?"
"Not my method, that's all."
"Maybe not. But if Lew's seen it
work let's give it a try. Anything
tu make up time."
Clay hes itated. Beside him, Splann
mo,•ed his horse closer. There was
e little silence . Then Clay shook
h1s head. "Tom, I'll tell you. If
you want tn '3\vitch forem::~n rieht

now instead of on the tr&amp;il that suits
me."
Tom
Arnold
spoke
quietly.
"There's no call for cussedness,
Clay, that I can see. But it's your
choice. Lew, take the job." He
swung his back to them and rode
off.
Clay Manning turned in his saddle. Something had happened to
him in that moment of giving up his
leadership of the Cross T. There
was a grimness added to him that
had not been there before.
Without temper he said, "Lew,
I'm going north with thJs herd for a
reason that you understand. But
not as your segundo. Either you or
I'll end up in full charge."
Beside him, suddenly, Splann
kicked their two horses forward.
"Come on, Clay, come on!"
Like any captain leading an army
troop, a trail boss needed a lieuten·
ant, his segundo. And since Clay
had refused Lew hunted up one man
in the Cross T that he could count
on absolutely.
When Rebel John Quarternight's
white head appeared among those
riders darting in and out of the dust
cloud he rode over and waved him
to a stop.
"John," he said, "I've taken over
the herd. We're going to push this
branding along."
He explained his way and added,
grinning with the strong affection
that he had for this man, "No argu·
ment now. I've heard it. I'll take
no talk from a pullet like you I"
It was John Quarternight who had
taught him all he knew about cattle,
most of what he knew about mena straight-backed, sturdy old war·
rior, close to seventy now, with de-

ceivingly mild blue eyes and a
drooping mustache turned yellow by
the sun. His full life went into the
past as far as the war for Texas
independence, up through the Re·
bellion and after that the Apache
days.
He chuckled. "No, got no argument. I'm beginnin' to think maybe
we'd see Ogallala next Christmas!
It's plain disgraceful pokin' irons at
cows through a fence. But we'll
give her a try." He swung his horse.
"Build your fires, son. I'll tell the
boys."
Lew's wave brought Quarternight
around to him. He yelled above the
rattle of horns slashing at the fence
logs and the bellowing din: "Takes
two hands for this, John!"
The old man stepped down be·
side him and grabbed a hot iron.
shaped like a cross, with another
bar on top to make the T. They
worked from opposite ends of the
penned steers, meeting in the middle. It was a choking job. Cotton·
wood made clouds of smoke. The
rancid odor of singed hide filled the
air. Over them a midday sun poured
down a breathless heat.
But the longhorns were moving,
ten by t en in endless parade. In
half an hour's time Lew waved Joe
Wheat and Ash Brownstone down to
relieve himself and Quarternight.
Arnold jerked a nod at the work.
He looked as if a heavy weight had
been lifted from him. There was
humor in him again. "Man's never
too old,'.' he said, "to learn a new
wrinkle! You'll have this job done
by dark."
A quietne:.;;s came over him a nd
there was nothing that L ew wanted
to say. Then Arnold said strongly,
"Well, no complaint! A man loves
a woman, raises a family and builds
a ranch- that about completes the
account, I gue:ss." He turned back
and l aid the book on top of others
in a wooden box. "Only one more
thing I'd like to see. There's a paper in this, signed and legal. I'm
storing the box in Joy's wagon. Not
r.rowding fate any, but things hap·

pen. If that comes to me
we reach Ogallala you look
book."
Time had come to set the guard.
Night shadows had slid like a blanket off the high rimrock. Out beyond the firelight four thousand longhorns made a black pool, watered
and contented now, ready to bed
down.
Lew dropped his tin plate and cup
into Owl-Head's wreck pan. He un·
derstood well enough that trail custom allowed a crew to draw for
their turns at night riding. First
watch from eight until eleven was
always the best choice. No man
wanted to break his sleep in the
middle and so hated the second
guard from eleven until two. From
two u!ltil dawn was only a little
better, the whole day being ahead
then with these earJy.morning hours
tacked on.
But for his own reason this trip he
had decided to set the watch de·
liberately. He wanted Clay and
Splann and Steve in separate
guards.
He made a cigarette in brown
corn shuck paper and stooped for a
burning stick end. With the light up
close he looked across at lank Joe
Wheat. "Joe," he said, "I'm picking
you to lead the first watch."
All of the faces ringed around the
fire lifted toward him. There was
a tight silence. Then Ed Splann, his
huge shape sprawled off, half hidden, growled out, "How about lettin' us cut cards for turns, Mister
Boss? Ain't that thco usual caper?
Cut for choice and choose our own
watchmates, that's what."
Then Lew said, "Well, Clay, we
might as well understand something
at the start. You've been a fore·
man long enough to know what the
job means. Plenty of times come
along when you don't stop to explain
your orders. I don't intend to. Like
the way I'm setting thilil guard." He
brought his eyes around the ring of
faces and stopped on Splann's surly
stare. "If anyone here can' t take
my say-so he'd better quit right
now.''
He held that stare for a moment,
saw its cold, hard steeliness and understood what he saw. "All right,"
he said and turned again to Wheat.
"Joe, you'll take first guard with
Clay and Neal Good. I'll take second; Steve, I want you to ride with
me, you and John. That leaves the
tag end for you, Ash, with Charley
Storms and Ed Splann."
Ash Brownstone, Quarternight and
Joe Wheat were the old men of thilJ
crew, all of them dependable. Thus
he had one trusted hand in each of
the three guards.
"I'm going in to the house, Lew,"
Steve said, and looked off some·
where before he asked, "You rid··
ing j.n?"
Lew shook his head idly. "No,
guess not." Yet he watched the
quick turn of Steve's shoulders with
a frowning interest. And afterward,
when he heard his horse race off
toward the creek woods, he said
quietly
to
John
Quarternight,
"Wouldn't hurt to stand double
guard for a little while. Let's ride."
Mounted, he held to the darkness,
keeping c}ear of the longhorns, and
then drew to a halt off on the barren, empty plain. He saw old Rebel
John sitting up high in his saddle,
smelling the wind for trouble, and
said, "Wait."
It wasr.'t long. Moving slowly, a
horse circled out from the creek
growth, shielded by the dark. Later its hoofbeats struck up a faster
pace, aiming for the short row of
lights that was Ox Bow town, five
miles away.
Angry and bitter with this knowledge that Steve was making a
sneak, L ew sat rigid, listening, until
Qual ternight said, "That boy never
could cover his tracks!"
"He's got no good business in
town, John-not now."
Off in the east the first lonely gray
of dawn was spreading upward from
the plains. The black pool of four
thousand longhorns had risen, held
by the last guard of the night.
As casually as that, as i! this
might be only a half day's drive to
the railroad, the Cross T moved
into its march of twel•;e hundred
miles.
It was the usual start, no better
nor worse than he had expected.
He watched backward over the repeated melees, yet took no hand.
Both men and beasts needed to get
the fight out of their systems.
After the noon meal Lew told Owl·
head, "Keep on due north and you'll
find a tank for your night camp.
Raise a smoke to lead us in."
He rode over to Joy's wagon seat.
She had on a white muslin dress
and one of Steve's broad-brimmed
hats. But the sun had burned her,
and she looked tired and hot.
She smiled u~ at him and yet she
couldn't hide what he knew. The
wagon had no springs. Jolting along
this rough ground, she was taking
even more punishment than a man
in his saddle.
"All nght?" he asked.
"I'll. get used to it," she said .

THE DIABETIC
Now that it is known that the
great majority of diabetics can live
for many years, that by watching
their diet many with a tendency to
diabetes may never
need to use insulin,
and that diabetes
can often be prevent·
ed by not allowing
oneself to become
overweight, it might
be thought that we
would not hearmuch
more about diabetes.
As a matter of
fact, the number of
diabetics is not deDr. Barton
creasing because
there are still many
individuals overeating and underexercising so that some words of advice from Dr. E. P. Joslin, Boston,
should be carefully considered at
this time. Dr. Joslin has been the
outstanding United States authority
on diabetes for many years. Last
February he gave the Second Me·
morial Banting lecture at the Univcorsity of Toronto, and stated:
"The creation of an individual responsibility in the diabetic has been
and remains the keynote of treat·
ment. If the diabetic is not imbued
with the necessity, the desire, and
the duty to maintain his health,
there is little that a doctor can do
for him. To a certain degree I welcome this fact because it will mean
that the diabetics who live are the
desirable diabetics, the good citizens. To a large degree doctors and
nurses can do much for careless, ·ig·
norant and despondent diabetics but
over and above all, the development
of the soul of the diabetic and his
zeal to be helpful goes along with
the treatment of the body."
The diabetic is not accepted for
any form of war service, as the
need for special diets and the seriousness of even slight injuries may
cause them to be a liability instead
of an asset, but it is pointed out
that he can obtain enough food ot the
kinds he requires-fats and meatsif he does a little thinking and planning. For each ounce of meat he
lac!ts to make up his needs he can
substitute fish, cheese, nuts, or an
egg, and fowl.
"Moreover, a diabetic should be
able among his friends to exchange
his sugar ration for a fat r11tion."
From Dr. Joslin's many cases and
from figures of insurance companies, diabetics are "superior" people, more intelligent than the average citizen. They will be needed for
present and future planning.

Pribilof Islands Are
Haven fo' Alaskan Seals
The Pribilof islands - a treeless
group of volcanic origin-are the
only place where the Alaskan fur
seals ever seek the shore. St. Paul
island, about 14 miles in length, St.
George island, 12 miles long, and
Sea Lion rock, a small islet adjacent to St. Paul, are the breeding
grounds of the North American or
Alaskan fur-seal herd, which embraces approximately 80 per cent
of the fur seals of the wo~d. The
annual computation made in 1941 indicated 2,338,000 animals in the herd.
Each year the herd goes to the
Pribilof group and there the young
are born and spend the first few
months of their existence. During
the remainder of the year there occurs the annual migration which
takes some of the animals as far
south as the latitude of Southern
California, about 3,000 miles from
their summer home.
In the annual migration northward, the breeding bulls are the first
to reach the islands in the spring
where they await the arrival of the
females.
The fur-sealing operations occur
chiefly in June and July. At that
time the family groups or harems
occupy the rookeries upon which generally only breeding seals and pups
are found. Near these rookeries are
the so-called hauling grounds whe;re
the unattar-hed bulls and immature
males, r
• nlors, congregate.

GRIM OUTLOOK
During his stay in hospital, the
young man had been extremely well
looked afte:r by a pretty young
nurse.
"You know, nurse," he said one
morning, "I'm in love with you, so I
don't want to get well and leave
here."
"Don't worry; quite possibly you
won't," replied the nurse cheerfully. "The doctor's in love with me,
too, and he saw you kissing me
yesterday."

Own Prescription

A unique American family is
that of the Irish Horse Traders
whose 4,000 members, all related
by blood or by marriage, spend
most of their time traveling
through the South in small groups
trading horses and mules. Their
one official acidress is an undertaking establishment in Atlanta to
which they ship their dead and
where they meet for a week every
April to celebrate marriages and
to hold their annual mass funeral.

Safe Is Safe
Three partners were riding in a
train and one of them said: "We
forgot to lock the safe in the office."
Another said: "What are you
worried about . . . we're all here
together, aren't we?"

there, the last thing George S. Patton Jr., the commanding general,
saw as he left for a secret rendezvous in Africa. His wife, he knew,
waited inside the car.
Now Mrll. Patton broadcasts
over short wave to the women
of France, announcing herself
as the wife of a man In the
service. She has earned laurels
at that job since the day Lll 1940
when Boston socialite Beatrice
Ayer, of the American Woolen
company Ayers, married a hell·
for-leather young cavalry lieutenant.
Beatrice Ayer Patton likes the
army. In no other career except
the ministry, she says, can a wife
be so helpful. When her bright-eyed
roaring general used to give his men
those famous pep talks, she listened
OD the sidelines to report reactions.
At dinner parties she sometimes
reads aloud from the poems the general so surprisingly writes.
She herself had authored a
best-selling novel, "Blood of the
Sharks," and a volume of HawaUan legends. She and the
reneral like to cruise in their
60-foot schooner tbe If and When.
They like to ride; their old farmhouse at Hamilton, Mass., is full
of borse show ribbons. One son
is in West Point; two daughters
are married into the army. Mrs.
Patton advises army wives m•t to
clisten to rumors, to write cheerful letters and to keep busy with
wa.r work.

Let's keep them wrong!
lh• Japa wer• wrong.
Cutting off our rubber supply in the :Pacific didA't
take us out of the war-or eveD slow us up.
For Government. the Rubber Director, the rubber industry. and. the petroleum, chemical, and alcohol industries pooled their patents and ideas, worked together, and
accomplished the seemingly impossible.

Today, there is no shadow of a doubt that our planell
will continue to fly, our ships to sail, our tanks to roll.
For America now has nearly enough rubber to
meet our essential needs!

The American people saw the new synthetic rubber
plants spring up like mushrooms. They heard of large-scale
production of synthetic rubber. And they applauded. Unfortunately, they alao jumped to the conclmion that they
oould .dop worrying about tire3!
It is true that the RUBBER supply crisis is past.
But the long-expected TIRE shortage is with us!
..But,.. you may say, "how can this be when thou-

l&amp;llds of tons of Government synthetic rubber are being
made ••• when such a tremendous tonnage of rubber products is being turned out. as well as more airplane and truck
tires than ever before.,.
One reason is that-as the Baruch Committee foreaaw-few tires could be manufactured until our synthetic
rubber supply was well, on the war. This resulted in millions of tires going out of use at a tune when there were no
replacements. Meanwhile, tires left in service have less
mileage in them, and prewar inventories are gone.
Another reason is that our military needs are far
1reater than anyone anticipated.
Also, the rubber companies are using a lot of
their machinery and manpower to tum out life
rafts, bullet-sealing fuel tanks, and hundreds of
other urgently-needed army and navy products,
In addition to tires.
And you should know that half of today's requirements are for large-size, heavy-duty bus, truck, artillery.
airplane, and combat tires, requiring much more labor and
materials than peacetime products.
Finally, the tire industry, like every industry today,
Ia feeling the manpower shortage, and there just aren't

enough hands for the job.

These problems will be overcome when our enemies
are overcome. Meanwhile, we want to put our cards face
up on the table.
We've told you frankly why there is a serious tire
ahortage. Now we want you, and every other American
who owns a set of tires, to know that thiq country's transportation system can still suffer a serious blow •.. unless

you make it you!' personal duty to take care of the tires
yo11 now own.

Do no unnecessary driving.
Live up to the Government regulation-don't exceed
85 miles an hour.
Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure,
and check them every week.
Avoid hitting holes in the road, or bruising your tires
on curbs or stones. Don't start or stop suddenly. Slow
down for sharp comers.
See that your wheels and axles are in line.
Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five
thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts.
And .. ,. most important of all ••• recap your tires
as soon as they become smooth.

HOW GOOD ARE PASSENGER CAR
TIRES OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER?
It may be a long time before all civilians can get synthetic rubber tires. Meanwhile, if you should be one of the
few who do get them, :~~ou will want this information;
Synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars are good
tires, and will give you satisfactory service if you take
care of them.
).'olJ. should not think of synthetic rubber tires as imP,.oved tires . •.. but as..emergency tires. And remember that
they have not yet had time to prove what they can do.
It is beside the point to theorize on how they would
react to the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days.
Every patriotic American knows that tire treads . . . aU
tire treads . •• wear out faster at high speeds, and so drives
at today's recommended speed of 35 miles an hour.
As time goes on, we will learn more about the effects
of under-inflation of rough roads, and of other abusell.
They damage all tires. Indications are that they do p:&lt;oportionately more harm to synthetic rubber tires.

Meanwhile, all tires are rationed to you in trust
for the nation, and it is your duty to take every
possible care of them, to avoid misuse and prevent abuse.
As experience teaches us more and more about synthetic rubber tires, we will pass the information along to
you. Meantime, play safe Be careful!
If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure tney are
properly installed. They should be put into the tire, then
inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And they should
never be mounted on rusty rims .

TRUCK AND BUS TIRES
ARE A DIFFERENT STORY
Truck and bus tires, being larger and heavier, generate

more heat. They are given long, hard usage on all kiDde
of highways. They are all too frequently ove.doaded.

Frankly, \oday's synthetic rubber b1,15 aud truck tire.
will not stand the abuse that prewar tires would stand, especially overloading. Progress is being made daily-but
overloading which would have cW.maged a prewar tire C&amp;D
r11in today's synthetic tire.
The Tire Industry Is doing Its utmost to aolve
the serious problem of providing the nation'•
trucks and buses with satisfactory tires in aufti•
clent quantities.
But until this problem is solved, a dangerous threat
exists to America's most vital transportation.
Therefore, while treads of present truck and bus tires
are immensely important ... the carcasses of these tires !taN
a value be'!Jond all price to America, and to America's truck
and bus operators!
Unless tires now in use are made to last, these two
essential services will almost certainly break down I

These tires ••• every one of them •• : must be recapped the in.stant the tread wears smooth •••
before any damoge is done to the carcass•
They must be recapped not once, but again and
again! High speeds must be done away with •••
espeCially on hot roads. Overloads must be
avoided. Tires must be properly inflated at aU
dtnes.
The responsibility to take care of thelle tirell ••• to
make them last as long as pq~ible •.• is a vital necessityl
It mu.St be shouldered by all operators, by all drivers, by
aU garage men I
No American can fail to heed this warning! The situation is so serious that it is recognized in a new tire war•
ranty. But the real job is to conserve all tirer now in Ule!

'With conditions as tney are, and synthetic rubber iD
its present stage of development, a new tire warranty hu
become necessary and has been adopted. It applies to aU
tires. Under its terms, injuries such as bruises, body breaks,
cuts, snags, and heat fn.ilures as well as trea.d wear are not
subject to adjustment consideration.

tire care or misuse or abuse. Thi.!J includes failure as a resnit of overload, excess speed improper inflation, or other
non-defective conditions. Or when tires are used.on rima

Don't forget that everyone •.• the Tire Industry, the
Rubber Director, and many others, are working together

Mushrooms, rich in minerals and
the B complex vitamins, combine

One of the common ways of making meat points stretch their furthest is the habit of buying a large
piece of meat and making it do for
several meals. In this way, the family can have the pleasure of a roast
from a large- piece of meat done to
succulence, then the homemaker
can easily fashion meat dishes for
at least 2 or 3 meals out of that
which is left.
Unfortunately foods do not taste
as good the second day as the first.
Flave:rs seem to
fall asleep, the
me at becomes
dry and insipid,
and the family becomes tired of
what they sniffingly refer to as
leftovers. This needn't be the case
if you spend a little time and effort
waking up the leftovers and making
them just as appetizing as the food
in its first form.
Chicken is first-rate when served
in these ways:
•country Chicken Loaf.
(Serves 6)
2 cops diced cooked chicken
¥2 cup chopped cooked carrots
1 cup cooked peas
¥2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
liz cup milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion juice
1 teaspoon salt
Y!l teaspoon pepper
Force chicken, carrots and peas
through a food chopper. Add remaining ingredients and place in a
greased loaf pan or a ring mold.
Bake about 40 minutes in a moderate oven until firm. Serve with
cream of mushroom sauce.
Chicken Yorkshire.
(Serves 6)
2 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 eggs
¥2 cup drippings, melted
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
% teaspoon salt·
Leftover gravy
Place chicken in bottom ot greased
casserole with gravy. Set in oven to
heat. Beat eggs,
drippings
a nd
m i 1 :t together.
Sift dry ingredients together, add
to liquid ingredients and beat until free from all
lumps. The batter will be quite thin. Pour over
chicken ant:l bake at once in moderate (350-degree) oven. Serve from
baking dish with gravy.
Meat leftovers, even if they are
few, can give a rich meaty taste if
they're used in this way:
Meat and Rice au Gratin.
(Serves 6)
2 cops leftover meat, diced
1\filk or soup stock
2 cups boiled rice
2 tablespoons fat
¥2 cup grated cheese
1 teaspoon salt
¥s teaspoon pepper
Cut meat into small piec~s and
moisten with stock or milk. Spread
Lynn Says:
Fats Are Important: Fats produce glycerine needed to make
munitions. Take home all fat and
bone trimmings you pay for with
your meat. Fats that you don't
use will be bought by some markets.
Accumulated sausage and bacon fat can be used for frying potatoes, eggs, fish, hash, chicken,
or even in waffles, cornbread or
gravy.
Fats from roasts, chops and
steaks can be clarified by heating 4 slices of potato with 1 quart
of fat over low heat until fat bubbles. Strain through several thicknesses of cheesecloth and store in
light-proof, tightly covered container. Use this clarified fat for
making spice and chocolate cakes
and cookies.

A bit of braised chicken garnished
with buttered carrots, potato balls
and celery leaves won't be a drain

Recent research reveals that
mushrooms have a mineral content
somewhat higher than many other
vegetables and fruits. Potassium
and phosphorus are available along
with appreciable amounts of copper and iron. Mushrooms are also
one of the best plant sources of the
B complex vitamins. Used to extend meats, mushrooms are not only
nutritionally satisfying, but they can
add zest and flavor even to the simplest of foods:
Casserole of Beef and Mushrooms.
(Serves 6)
1llz to 2 pounds short ribs of beef
Floor, seasoned with salt and pepper
~ teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup water
2 stalks celery, chopped
6 scallions
1 8-ounce can mushrooms
1 small onion sliced
2 to 3 carrots, sliced
3 medium-sized potatoes, quartered
Cut short ribs in individual squares
and flour them. Brown in a small
amount of fat in heavy skillet. Remove to casserole. Add sliced onion, vinegar, thyme, water and drippings in skillet, stirring until well
blended; pour over meat. Cover
and roast in slow oven (300 degrees)
until tender, about 2 hours. Add
vegetables and mushrooms with liquid and continue cooking 30 to 40
minutes. Add more water if necessary.

wood, and what type of lacquer
should I use?
Answer: Smooth the wood by rubbing with fine sandpaper, and then
clean the surface by wiping with
benzine being extremely careful of
fire. Get the brushing variety of
lacquer, and follow carefully the
manufacturer's directions on the
can.

Mold and Musty Odor
Question: We moved into a firstfloor flat two months ago and are
having trouble with our overstuffed
set. It is moldy and has a musty
odor. There is no basement under
the house; the floor is 21h feet from
the g!'ound. What should we do
about the moldiness?

I

Answer: The moldiness comes
from the earth under the floor. If a
concrete floor .in the basem~nt is
out of the q';lestwn, the be~t thmg to
do is t? pa~nt . the unders1de of t~e
floor Wlth hqu1d tar or as~hal~. meluding the ~earns. The ,urmture
should be a1red in the sun on a

Pai.nting Plywood
Question: I have remodeled my
kitchen, placing plywood on side
';Valls and ceiling. I should like to
paint the kitchen white. What would
you suggest for the first coat?
Answer: Clean the wood and see
that it is smooth, and then apply a
first coat of enamel undercoater or
flat paint thinned with a pint of raw
linseed oil to the gallon of paint.
After the first coat is dry, put on
a second coat of undercoater or flat
paint. When dry, smooth the surface by rubbing lightly with No. 000
sandpaper. Wipe off the dust and
finish with a good quality quick-drying enamel.

• • •

Bole in a Tile Wall
Question: I tried to fill a hole in
a tile wall through which a valve
of a hot water pipe projects with
plaster of paris and cement. After
a slwrt time the filling falls out.
What can you suggest?
Answer: When using cement, always wet down the old surfaces with
water before putting the patching
cement in place. After the hole has
been filled, do not use th&lt;! hot-water
line until the cement has hardened;
otherwise, the hellt in the pipe will
dry out the cement before it has
become set.
Six to eight hours
should be allowed.

• • •

Closed Rouse
Question: When closing our country house, should we leave the oil
burner running or shut it off? There
would be only occasional attention
given to it.
Answer: When a house is to be left
unoccupied for a long time with little or no inspection, the oil burner
should be shut off. It should not be
allowed to operate without frequent
attention. It also is a waste of fuel
to heat a vacant house.

Stained Chair Back
Question: A chair upholstered in
flowered silk was stained on the back
by perspiration, which left a big
round mark. How can I take off
this mark?

chair cleaned by a good upholsterer. If you wish to try the job your·
self, you may be able to get the
stain off with a spot-removing liquir1

"Jeep Disease" and "Destroyer
Stomach" are the latest army and
navy maladies.
Because of rough riding in mechanized vehicles, many Doughboys
have been afflicted with "Jeep Disease.'' a formation of cyst near the
base of the spine, with aggravations
resulting from further jostling.
Sometimes, the abnormality is no
more tban a pimple. The medics
chief problem is to discover which
cases are serious enough for surgery.
"Destroyer Stomach" bas been
found most frequently in men serving in the rough waters of the North
Atlantic and is marked by a form
of subacute gastritis due to protracted sea sickness, irregular meals and
constant nervous tension.

Washington, D. C.
Some weeks before Secretary Hull
left for his Mission to Moscow, I
interviewed him in his office in the
state department. Shortly after he
returned, he received a number of
us in that same ~f'fice and gave us
an informal talk about his trip.
One of the things which impressed
me greatly as r heard the secretary
in the course of the hour-long meeting, telling us sidelights on his remarkable experience, was the way
one word which he had used in his
talk with me kept cropping up again
and "'gain. It was the word "understanding." He applied it to personal
relationships and exchanges between the members of the tripartite
meeting and to the whole discussion
and the decisions which grew out
of it.
It seemed to be a case of progressive understanding.
In our first conversation, the secretary, indicating the papers which
covered his great desk, said they
all dealt with Russia. I did not know
then that there was to be a Moscow
meeting. And he made the point
with considerable emphasis, that
there was so much suspicion on the
part of persons discussing the Russian situation that it was exceedingly hard to work toward an agreement.

and airplane programs.

RUSSIA:
Cut Nazi Railroads
Two important railroads in Russia
linking German armies of the north
with those of the soutb, and running
westward into the big pre-war Polish
cities of Warsaw and Lwow, were
cut by the Red armies.
As the Russian forces severed
these major German arteries, Nazi
forces launched a strong counterattack against the Reds in the vicinity
of these rail lines, gaining some
ground. But here, as further to the
south where the Germans claimed
500,000 Russians were hammering
them above Krivoi Rog, the Nazi
positions still were in a fluid state.
To the north, the Reds pecked at
the Nazi base of Gomel, serving as
the southern anchor of their Baltic
line which is hinged on Finland. Ten
classes of reservists in the Baltic
states have been called to military
service by the Nazis.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Action Spreads
With U. S .. forces being strengthened on Bougainville for a major
drive against the 40,000 Japs reportedly defending their last stronghold
in the Solomons, Liberator bombers
lashed against the enemy's tiny Gilbert and Marshall Island possessions, standing out like pesky little
thorns along our supply routes to
the battle areas.
Warding off Jap blows from the
air, U. S. warships moved up Bougainville's west coast to pound the
enemy's big airplane base of Buka.
Absence of strong elements of the
Japanese fleet in the advanced ba~
tie zone suggested that the enemy
was concentrating his formidable
naval force on protection of his 1,500
mile sea lane running from Japan
proper to the rich islands south.
In New Guinea, Australian forces
began moving northward from
Finschhafen toward the Jap strongholds of Madang and Wewak, from
which the enemy's aerial units have
been striking at the Allied bases.

While Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson announced the war department was giving serious study to
peacetime disposal of its holdings
of 43,181,183 acres of land, it was revealed the federal government
owned 383,600,533 acres.
Federal land holdings were equal
in size to the combined areas of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Alabama, Kentucky and
Indiana.
Adding to the federal government's
vast land holdings, the army and
navy purchased 15 hotels at a cost
of $15,000,000. Some of these hotels
have been returned to private ownership, like the Stevens in Chicago,
bought for $5,528,101 and sold for

OIL:
Seek New Wells
With a projected goal of 24,000
new oil wells in 1944, prospects
loomed for increased activity in
the Rocky Mountain states.
Of the 24,000 new oil wells, 5,000
are to be exploratory and the remaining 19,000 development projects. The immense Powder river
basin in the northeastern section of
Wyoming and southeastern section
of Montana might prove the focal
point of operations.

Figures show that in the first nine

Shipments of canned fruits and

canned vegetables, 1 per cent; dried

WAR GARDENS:

WAR PRODUCTION: The peak
demand in war production has been
passed, Harry Moulton, president
of the Brookings Institute, recently
told the American Finance conference in Washingtc.:1. He said that
stocks of raw ma.erials have become entirely adequate, and even
excessive in some cases. More

monarch, Britain; one with a communistic form of government, Rus·
sia; and one, a democratic republic,
the United States.
The test came in Italy. After the
parleys at Moscow, the AMG was
limited in its functions, taking over
only the districts nearest the front.
An Allied military commission was
formed which is making maximum
use of the local native civilian officials.

Italian Government
But what about the government
which the Allies would accept as
satisfactorily representing the will
of the Italian people? Surely Britain
would demand that monarchy be
given a chance to remain in power.
Surely Russia would have no traffic with kings a'nd would instead demand a strong left-wing set-up.
The supposed American compromise was a temporary regency, that,
is, a liberal regent such as Count
Carlo Sforza who was in exile from
the Fascist regime and who left
America shortly after the surrender
of Italy. The little son of the crown
prince would remain the symbolic
head of the state. Many said that
neither Russia nor Britain would accept this suggestion.
However, although no definite step
has been taken, semi-official sources
have indicated that when Rome is
recaptured and Marshal Badoglio,
now premier, steps out, there will
be virtual agreement on the part of
the three victor nations on the American compromise. All that remains
will be an agreement on the part of
the Italian people. Even if the lat·
ter is not achieved, there is evidence enough already of tripartite
compromise and unity to seem to
confirm the success of the Mission to
Moscow.

Then, in his talk on his return,
he repeated this thought, saying that
many people, because of their deep
prejudices, had made it hard to
bring about an understanding between the three nations. He said
that when he left for Moscow, he
felt that much of the misunderstanding was due to misinformation which
all the parties shared concerning the
others. In order to correct that,

Clay Manning and Ed Splann
followed the galloping animal in to
the nearest fire, where Splann
caught his forelegs in a loop and
threw him expertly. This huge
bearded fellow was a cow hand all
right, Lew admitted. But there was
something else. Watching, while the
hot Cross T iron was run on the
steer's shoulder, he felt again the
strain of Clay Manning's unnatural
sUence, sitting his horse there close
saying nothing.
He turned his gaze up the valley
and saw Tom Arnold coming from
the creek-bottom trees and paused
then with his eyes fixed upon the
pole fences of the dipping chute,
like two wide-open arms reaching
out for an eighth of a mile.
Then Clay Manning said idly,
"What took you to the rims this
morning?"
"The view," he said, his eyes still
speculating on the dipping chutes.
"Always did like it from up there."
"That all?" Clay's voice was
roughly edged. "I'd like to know."
"Clay," he said, "you've got noth·
ing against me. You don't like my
coming back to be trail boss for
Tom, sure. But it's only because
trailing has been my business these
years. You'll still be Tom's foreman
and segundo on this trip. If the
Cross T ever gets north, Clay, we'll
have to work together. That's a
fact."
He saw his plea have a strange
effect in the blue eyes, troubling
tl1em with a hounded look. And it
seemed to bring Clay out into the
open for an instant. Bitterly he said,
"Lew, there's more happened here
than you know. I can' t mAke any
promises." He closed his mouth on
that.
"All
right,"
Lew
accepted.
"There's something I do know. From
the rims I could see herds going
north while we're not even ready.
There's a faster wa!' to do this
branding if you want to try. Trick
I saw worked last year."
"How's that?"
"Use the dipping chute. Roping's
too slow. We could run this whole
bun&lt;::h through by dark tonight."
Ed Splann had flipped his loop
free from the branded steer and had
turned toward ther.~ He brought
his horse to a stop close beside
Clay's in time to hear this last talk.
He leaned forward in his saddle.
"What kind of schoolboy game is
that? What's the matter, Burnet,
can't you use a rope?"
Lew looked at him steadily, saying nothing. Somehow in this man
he saw a trouble center on the Cross
T. There was a surly sureness about
him, more than the arrogance of
brute strength. He wondered again
why Clay would tolerate his sort in
the crew.
Then, as if made more bold and
s ure by that silence, Splann goaded,
''Leave him try his schoolboy trick!
Come on, Clay."
Suddenly this early morning's
calm decision to keep things running without trouble was gone. He
understood that he was being ribbed
into a fight. It was what Splann
wanted, a showdown. It might as
well come now as later.
He swung his horse to get Clay
from between them. But in that
siime instant, incredibly fast, a gun
was in the man's right fist. There
was no smokiness in his eyes now.
They were only a cold, hard gray,
unblinking.
"Now you," he began, but Clay's
.quick warning cut him off.
"Careful, Ed! Some body's coming!"
It was Tom Arnold pounding toward them, his horse flung forward
m a rush that swept along a dust
.cloud when he stopped. "What the
hell's going on here?" He glared at
Splann's drawn gun. With a hot
violence unlike him in a crisis he
blazed, "Clay, is this all you've got
to do?" He swung his angry stare.
"Lew, what's wrong?"
"Little argument, Tom. Nothing
much."
''Well! What about?"
"Difference of opinion mostly.
Had an idea we could hurry up this
branding by using your dipping
.chute. You build your fires alongside, push the animals through and
run U1e iron on them as they pass.
I've seen it work."
Arnold considered it, the anger golng out of him. "Well, Clay," he
asked, "what's the objection?"
"Not my method, that's all."
"Maybe not. But if Lew's seen it
work let's give it a try. Anything
tu make up time."
Clay hes itated. Beside him, Splann
mo,•ed his horse closer. There was
e little silence . Then Clay shook
h1s head. "Tom, I'll tell you. If
you want tn '3\vitch forem::~n rieht

now instead of on the tr&amp;il that suits
me."
Tom
Arnold
spoke
quietly.
"There's no call for cussedness,
Clay, that I can see. But it's your
choice. Lew, take the job." He
swung his back to them and rode
off.
Clay Manning turned in his saddle. Something had happened to
him in that moment of giving up his
leadership of the Cross T. There
was a grimness added to him that
had not been there before.
Without temper he said, "Lew,
I'm going north with thJs herd for a
reason that you understand. But
not as your segundo. Either you or
I'll end up in full charge."
Beside him, suddenly, Splann
kicked their two horses forward.
"Come on, Clay, come on!"
Like any captain leading an army
troop, a trail boss needed a lieuten·
ant, his segundo. And since Clay
had refused Lew hunted up one man
in the Cross T that he could count
on absolutely.
When Rebel John Quarternight's
white head appeared among those
riders darting in and out of the dust
cloud he rode over and waved him
to a stop.
"John," he said, "I've taken over
the herd. We're going to push this
branding along."
He explained his way and added,
grinning with the strong affection
that he had for this man, "No argu·
ment now. I've heard it. I'll take
no talk from a pullet like you I"
It was John Quarternight who had
taught him all he knew about cattle,

ceivingly mild blue eyes and a
drooping mustache turned yellow by
the sun. His full life went into the
past as far as the war for Texas
independence, up through the Re·
bellion and after that the Apache
days.
He chuckled. "No, got no argument. I'm beginnin' to think maybe
we'd see Ogallala next Christmas!
It's plain disgraceful pokin' irons at
cows through a fence. But we'll
give her a try." He swung his horse.
"Build your fires, son. I'll tell the
boys."
Lew's wave brought Quarternight
around to him. He yelled above the
rattle of horns slashing at the fence
logs and the bellowing din: "Takes
two hands for this, John!"
The old man stepped down be·
side him and grabbed a hot iron.
shaped like a cross, with another
bar on top to make the T. They
worked from opposite ends of the
penned steers, meeting in the middle. It was a choking job. Cotton·
wood made clouds of smoke. The
rancid odor of singed hide filled the
air. Over them a midday sun poured
down a breathless heat.
But the longhorns were moving,
ten by t en in endless parade. In
half an hour's time Lew waved Joe
Wheat and Ash Brownstone down to
relieve himself and Quarternight.
Arnold jerked a nod at the work.
He looked as if a heavy weight had
been lifted from him. There was
humor in him again. "Man's never
too old,'.' he said, "to learn a new
wrinkle! You'll have this job done
by dark."
A quietne:.;;s came over him a nd
there was nothing that L ew wanted
to say. Then Arnold said strongly,
"Well, no complaint! A man loves
a woman, raises a family and builds
a ranch- that about completes the
account, I gue:ss." He turned back
and l aid the book on top of others
in a wooden box. "Only one more
thing I'd like to see. There's a paper in this, signed and legal. I'm
storing the box in Joy's wagon. Not
r.rowding fate any, but things hap·

pen. If that comes to me
we reach Ogallala you look
book."
Time had come to set the guard.
Night shadows had slid like a blanket off the high rimrock. Out beyond the firelight four thousand longhorns made a black pool, watered
and contented now, ready to bed
down.
Lew dropped his tin plate and cup
into Owl-Head's wreck pan. He un·
derstood well enough that trail custom allowed a crew to draw for
their turns at night riding. First
watch from eight until eleven was
always the best choice. No man
wanted to break his sleep in the
middle and so hated the second
guard from eleven until two. From
two u!ltil dawn was only a little
better, the whole day being ahead
then with these earJy.morning hours
tacked on.
But for his own reason this trip he
had decided to set the watch de·
liberately. He wanted Clay and
Splann and Steve in separate
guards.
He made a cigarette in brown
corn shuck paper and stooped for a
burning stick end. With the light up
close he looked across at lank Joe
Wheat. "Joe," he said, "I'm picking
you to lead the first watch."
All of the faces ringed around the
fire lifted toward him. There was
a tight silence. Then Ed Splann, his
huge shape sprawled off, half hidden, growled out, "How about lettin' us cut cards for turns, Mister
Boss? Ain't that thco usual caper?
Cut for choice and choose our own
watchmates, that's what."
Then Lew said, "Well, Clay, we
might as well understand something
at the start. You've been a fore·
man long enough to know what the
job means. Plenty of times come
along when you don't stop to explain
your orders. I don't intend to. Like
the way I'm setting thilil guard." He
brought his eyes around the ring of
faces and stopped on Splann's surly
stare. "If anyone here can' t take
my say-so he'd better quit right
now.''
He held that stare for a moment,
saw its cold, hard steeliness and understood what he saw. "All right,"
he said and turned again to Wheat.
"Joe, you'll take first guard with
Clay and Neal Good. I'll take second; Steve, I want you to ride with
me, you and John. That leaves the
tag end for you, Ash, with Charley
Storms and Ed Splann."
Ash Brownstone, Quarternight and
Joe Wheat were the old men of thilJ
crew, all of them dependable. Thus
he had one trusted hand in each of
the three guards.
"I'm going in to the house, Lew,"
Steve said, and looked off some·
where before he asked, "You rid··
ing j.n?"
Lew shook his head idly. "No,
guess not." Yet he watched the
quick turn of Steve's shoulders with
a frowning interest. And afterward,
when he heard his horse race off
toward the creek woods, he said
quietly
to
John
Quarternight,
"Wouldn't hurt to stand double
guard for a little while. Let's ride."
Mounted, he held to the darkness,
keeping c}ear of the longhorns, and
then drew to a halt off on the barren, empty plain. He saw old Rebel
John sitting up high in his saddle,
smelling the wind for trouble, and
said, "Wait."
It wasr.'t long. Moving slowly, a
horse circled out from the creek
growth, shielded by the dark. Later its hoofbeats struck up a faster
pace, aiming for the short row of
lights that was Ox Bow town, five
miles away.
Angry and bitter with this knowledge that Steve was making a
sneak, L ew sat rigid, listening, until
Qual ternight said, "That boy never
could cover his tracks!"
"He's got no good business in
town, John-not now."
Off in the east the first lonely gray
of dawn was spreading upward from
the plains. The black pool of four
thousand longhorns had risen, held
by the last guard of the night.
As casually as that, as i! this
might be only a half day's drive to
the railroad, the Cross T moved
into its march of twel•;e hundred
miles.
It was the usual start, no better
nor worse than he had expected.
He watched backward over the repeated melees, yet took no hand.
Both men and beasts needed to get
the fight out of their systems.
After the noon meal Lew told Owl·
head, "Keep on due north and you'll
find a tank for your night camp.
Raise a smoke to lead us in."
He rode over to Joy's wagon seat.
She had on a white muslin dress
and one of Steve's broad-brimmed
hats. But the sun had burned her,
and she looked tired and hot.
She smiled u~ at him and yet she
couldn't hide what he knew. The
wagon had no springs. Jolting along
this rough ground, she was taking
even more punishment than a man
in his saddle.
"All nght?" he asked.
"I'll. get used to it," she said .
Hour by hour through a breatt.less afternoon the blunt arrowhead
grazed forward. leaving a mile-wide
swath of barren, dus ty earth wheJ ('

THE DIABETIC
Now that it is known that the
great majority of diabetics can live
for many years, that by watching
their diet many with a tendency to
diabetes may never
need to use insulin,
and that diabetes
can often be prevent·
ed by not allowing
oneself to become
overweight, it might
be thought that we
would not hearmuch
more about diabetes.
As a matter of
fact, the number of
diabetics is not deDr. Barton
creasing because
there are still many
individuals overeating and underexercising so that some words of advice from Dr. E. P. Joslin, Boston,
should be carefully considered at
this time. Dr. Joslin has been the
outstanding United States authority
on diabetes for many years. Last
February he gave the Second Me·
morial Banting lecture at the Univcorsity of Toronto, and stated:
"The creation of an individual responsibility in the diabetic has been
and remains the keynote of treat·
ment. If the diabetic is not imbued
with the necessity, the desire, and
the duty to maintain his health,
there is little that a doctor can do
for him. To a certain degree I welcome this fact because it will mean
that the diabetics who live are the
desirable diabetics, the good citizens. To a large degree doctors and
nurses can do much for careless, ·ig·
norant and despondent diabetics but
over and above all, the development
of the soul of the diabetic and his
zeal to be helpful goes along with
the treatment of the body."
The diabetic is not accepted for
any form of war service, as the
need for special diets and the seriousness of even slight injuries may
cause them to be a liability instead
of an asset, but it is pointed out
that he can obtain enough food ot the
kinds he requires-fats and meatsif he does a little thinking and planning. For each ounce of meat he
lac!ts to make up his needs he can
substitute fish, cheese, nuts, or an
egg, and fowl.
"Moreover, a diabetic should be
able among his friends to exchange
his sugar ration for a fat r11tion."
From Dr. Joslin's many cases and
from figures of insurance companies, diabetics are "superior" people, more intelligent than the average citizen. They will be needed for
present and future planning.

Pribilof Islands Are
Haven fo' Alaskan Seals
The Pribilof islands - a treeless
group of volcanic origin-are the
only place where the Alaskan fur
seals ever seek the shore. St. Paul
island, about 14 miles in length, St.
George island, 12 miles long, and
Sea Lion rock, a small islet adjacent to St. Paul, are the breeding
grounds of the North American or
Alaskan fur-seal herd, which embraces approximately 80 per cent
of the fur seals of the wo~d. The
annual computation made in 1941 indicated 2,338,000 animals in the herd.
Each year the herd goes to the
Pribilof group and there the young
are born and spend the first few
months of their existence. During
the remainder of the year there occurs the annual migration which
takes some of the animals as far
south as the latitude of Southern
California, about 3,000 miles from
their summer home.
In the annual migration northward, the breeding bulls are the first
to reach the islands in the spring
where they await the arrival of the
females.
The fur-sealing operations occur
chiefly in June and July. At that
time the family groups or harems
occupy the rookeries upon which generally only breeding seals and pups
are found. Near these rookeries are
the so-called hauling grounds whe;re
the unattar-hed bulls and immature
males, r
• nlors, congregate.

During his stay in hospital, the
young man had been extremely well
looked afte:r by a pretty young
nurse.
"You know, nurse," he said one
morning, "I'm in love with you, so I
don't want to get well and leave
here."
"Don't worry; quite possibly you
won't," replied the nurse cheerfully. "The doctor's in love with me,
too, and he saw you kissing me

AT THAT time: There went forth

that there should be a c ensus of resources and arms and philosophies .
And all went to be enrolle d, eve ry

Conserve Sugar, but Satisfy Sweet Tooth
(See Recipes Below)

Saving on Sugar
Extensive summer and fall can.ning has left many a family low on
sugar. Homemakers are writing in
and asking for
recipes which will
give their families- "just something to satisfy
the sweet tooth"
-but that something must be sugar-saving.
Now that jellies are rationed you
may have to use what sugar you
can get for putting up those juices
you canned during summer for jelly
-and that means there will be less
sugar than before left for baking
uses , Sugar substitutes can be utilized not only in cakes and cookies
but desserts and icings. Many cake
recipes, too, can be made with less
sugar than they call for.
Fruits-in-season now include cranberries which are perfectly delicious in this steamed pudding:

•

Steamed Cranberry Pudding.
(Serves 4)
t cups fresh cranberries
1% cups flour
~ teaspoon salt
~ teaspoon cinnamon
~ teaspoon cloves
~ teaspoon mace
2 teaspoons soda
¥.! cup hot water
~ cup molasses
Mix flour, salt, spices and soda;
cut cranberries in two and add to
dry ingredients. Combine hot water and molasses; blend with first
mixture. Transfer to greased pudding mold; cover and steam 2 1h
hours. Unmold and serve with your
favorite pudding sauce.
Do chocolates satis fy the sweet
tooth in your family? Here is a
light, lovely dessert:
Chocolate Putt Soume.
(Serv1ls 6)
~ 7-ounce package
semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs
Melt chocolate with milk in top of
"ouble boiler. Beat with egg beater
until smooth. Add sugar, salt, vanilla and unbeaten eggs ; beat with
egg beater 1 minute. Cover, and
cook over boiling water 20 minutes
without lifting cover. Remove from
heat and serve immediately with
cream.
It is possible to make cakes without any sugar at all, but better results can be achieved if some sugar
is used in the cake. Too many allsyrup ca kes have a coarse t exture
to which we are unaccustomed after
years of light, fine-grained cakes.
H e re are suggestions which you can
be proud to add to your wa rtime
cookery collection:

Lynn Says:
Starve the Garbage Can! Precious vitamins lie right underneath the thin skin of carrots.
Don't pare, just scrub the vegetable.
The same is true of potatoes.
Scrub well and cook with skins

The warlords were in the inn
sumptuously quartered, lolling in fine
chairs in their stockinged feet, their
muddy boots on the beds. The Dictators were there too. They had
taken the whole first floor months
ahead and were now bellowing orders
to the servants. And they could be
heard complaining that their patience
was being exhausted. Greed was in
the inn, sprawled across a great bed.
Covetousness and Cupidity were
swaggering about the hall, laughing
coarsely. Hatred had taken over a
double room and could be heard
snarling at Envy and Intolerance,
who claimed to have a prior right
to the large chamber with' double
windows.
• • •
And in the corridors of the first
floor a great bully of a man slashing
about with a sword, reviling his companions, and boasting of some book
he had written about conquering all
mankind and reducing those who did
not agree with him to slavery. This
man was called Conquest and he
was demanding a great front suite
where he could have more breathing space. And nowhere within the
inn was there Love, Kindliness,
Faith, Hope or Charity.

• • •

Nuw there were in the country
humble people with no hate in their
hearts, keeping the faith, watching
over their own and affrighted by the
horrors that were about them and
by the drone of bombers that passed
overhead blotting out the glory of
the stars; and they were weat·y of
ultimatums and threats and challenge and counter challenge, and
sick of heart at the corruption of
mind and spirit.

• • •

And behold an Angel of the Lord
stood over them, and the brightnes:&gt;
of God shone round and said, "Feal'
not : for behold, I bring you gooo\
tidings of great joy that shall be to
all people: for this day is born to
you a Saviour, who is Christ the
Lord, in the city of David, and who
is the Prince of Peace, the Deliverer
of the afflicted and the Christ of love
and tolerance. And this shall be a
sign unto you: you shall find the
infant wrapped in swaddling clothes,
and laid in a manger.'' And suddenly
there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising
God and saring, "Gl'lry to God in
the highert, and on earth peace,
good will toward m e n ."

• • •

And they camE: with has te and
found the infant lying in th e manger.
And the arrog ant within th e inn we re
silenced; and the drone of the ships
of destruction, sweeping overhea d,
was no more, neithe r were there
sounds of distant cannona ding. To
their ears came only the breathing
of the cattle and the first cries of
the Christ Child. And they understood the words that had been
spoken to them.

for six months, the company's record is reviewed by a government
awards board, says Collier's. If
the plant has equaled or exceeded
its previous six-months performance, a service star is added to
the flag; if it has not maintained
both quality and quantity through
the fault of either the management or the employees, the flag
is withdrawn and has to be earned

PROMPT BUYING OF
PLANT FOOD IS KEY
TO BIGGER '44 CROP
CHICAGO.-The wartime slogan.
''Food will win the war," might log.
lcally be amended to "Plant food
will win the war," since our nation's
fertilizer supply has ta!{en such an
important role in agricultural pro·
duction, according to a statement
made public by the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee.
"Farmers, as well as food production experts, realize that the use of
fertilizer is one of the most effective
means of obtaining an increased agricultural output to meet the great
war needll of the present," says the
statement. "The acreage available
for food production is limitP.d. Farm
help is so short as to make another
vital hazard. And, finally, present
machinery can handle only a given
number of acres.
I "High yields per acre are thus
necessary to obtain the grpatest posISible output from the land, the available labor and the machinery that is
usable. This increased production
can be aided by equitable distribu·
tion of available plant food re: sources where they will make the
greatest contribution to the food
growing campaign. Farmers are
·accepting their responsibility for the
success of such a program. In fact
:they are taking on the extra load
with cheerfulness and forethought.
I "As matters now stand, the fertilizer supply is limited by lack of
certain mineral elements, as some
scarcities already exist in the

grades as rapidly as they r·an The:.
further are distributing the pr'E pnrC'd
materials in the most cfft•c ttve man

schedules to a year-arot..nd rather
than a seasonal basis-a practk~
which crowds factory storage spare

"Farmers can do their part by
listing their needs early, placing
their orders promptly, taking shipments of their plant food well in advance of the crop season, and stor·
lng the fertilizer on their own farms
until it is needed for use on the soil.··
Cellar Storagt•
No doubt cellar stor41ge is the
more convenient way to kPPp vt&gt;getables. Too often, ho,wever, the
temperature of the room is too hi&lt;~'h
especially in the fall and the begtn~
ning of the winter. A cellar in which
the average temperatufe cannot" be
kept below 50 degrees is bound to
cause much spoilage of stored vegetables. Proper ventilation will help
to lower the temperature of a cellar
in the fall. Keep the cellar windows
open on cool nights and clo~e them
during warm days. If this is don&lt;'
consistently through Octr ber, it will
do much to cool the cellar walls.

So far, no high government man
has actually come out boldly for labor conscription. McNutt said to
the A. F. L. in Boston, "It is not
beyond the realm of possibility that 1
labor and management can . . .
take new and more stringent steps
under their own steam." What it
takes to speed up production when
working with free American people
is not a stringent step, if that means
compulsion.
•Last August this column carried
an account of prompt and amazin,
production gains achieved by the
Howard Radio Company of Ch ca&amp;o,
through incentive wage payments.
Howard makes signal equipment for
the Army. The management instituted an incentive plan by consent
of the War Labor Board.

In a recent message to C'ongrC'ss,

Surely it is fair to assume that

the President asked for: more production, not more men on the government's payroll. After all, thPre

President's plea for more planPs as

The American Way.
A few weeks ago I visited the
Beech Aircraft Corporation's plant
in Wichita, Kan., where workc&gt;rs and
owners together had launched a plan
to improve production and d v •loped it in one year to a dlgree of
efficiency that increased factory output 325 percent. They found ways to
turn out more than four hmes as
much as formerly. It required no
additional help and no bullying.
Common sense nnd p:1trioti ,m did
the trick. The vehicle was a rational incentive plan that divided profits
50-50 between the employees and the
corporation on all increased business. Each worker's effective in·
come accordingly was raised more
than 50 percent in 12 months. Similar things have been done in other
war production plants and might be
done in many more. The idea is
truly American in character. It is
tried and effective. •
The Hitler Idea
Der Fuehrer works forced labor.
He has 21h times as much population to draw from as we have, and
regularly gets less done. For an
example, consider steel, ever needful in w&lt;Jr. All the warr,ng coun..
tries are producing every ton of it
they can. Germany, with 300 million people, is al.&gt;le to prouuce 50
million tons a year; the Umted 1
States, with 120 million pl ople, pro- I
duces 90 million tons. Slaves never
do their best. Look at the contrast:

Albania Grows
Albania is slightly larger than
Sicily, or Vermont, and supports a
million people. Less than one-tenth of
its area has been under cultivation.
It normally exported olives cheese
c~ttle, . hides, bitumen, copper and
011. 01l production increased from
10,000 to 619,000 barrels a year ir.
three years, lifting Albania to sixth
among European nations in crude
oil production. The Italians built a
45-mile pipeline from Petrolia to
Valona.
Several district tribes comprise
the ~lbanian· "nation." Separatr&gt;d
by !ugh mountains, these tribes arc
in . orne instances more foreign to
each other than to peoples living
across international borders. Con·
stant feuding is a tradition of high
land life.
Great strides toward modernization have been made in recent years.
Albania has mineral wealth, large
forests, ample water power and other natural resources to support in·
dustrial growth.

CHAPTER VI
From the point he saw Steve and
Clay and Splann gather far behind
him. They rode like that for most
ot the afternoon.
The two white-topped wagons had
vanished early northward over a
swell of ground. It was almost dark
when he saw Owl-Head's plume of
smoke. He waved Joe Wheat up to
take his place. To Quarternight he
said, "I'm going on."
There was something he wanted
to look at before the longhorns'
hoofs trampled out all sign. His
knowledge that Cross T horses had
been run up Crazy Woman Creek to
these plains had gnawed inside of
him, its puzzle only half clear. Now
a deep notch in the plain's edge to
the east marked the entrance to
Crazy Woman. While off on his left
was the tank, a natural hollow covering several acres. It still held
enough muddy water, he saw, from
the winter's rain, and brougl\t himself to a sudden stop next moment.
It was clear enough in his mind
that the Indian Supply herd had
needed horses and had got them by
trading Cross T stock via the New
Mexico exchange. The men who
had caught him near Crazy Woman
were not only rustlers but part of
the Indian Supply crew. Yet what
still had no answer was Clay Manning's part in that deal.
Approaching camp where the two
wagons had stopped beside the
tank's rim, he saw the charred embers of other camps near the cook's
fire. Owl-Head rose from stirring
something in a Dutch oven and
jerked a thumb toward them. "What
do you make of that?"
He didn't say. No use spreading
what he knew. But Moonlight Bailey, driving ahead of the longhorns
with his hor,se herd, had cut that
trail from Crazy Woman. He was
riding in between the wagons now, a
small brown man with a bullfrog
voice.
"By Judas, Lew!" he burst out,
"I know where our saddle stock
went!''
"All right. Keep it to yourself."
"Keep it!" Moonlight's round,
simple face turned dusty red.
"Tom's ribbed me plenty for losin'
horses. If I hadn't listened to Clay,
him tellin' me there was no use.
lookin'-''
"Moonlight," he said, "shut up I"
He had seen the canvas of Joy's
wagon open. "Now you mind!"
Then he heard her voice behind
him. "Lew, come here."
He wheeled his horse around. She
was sitting on the blankets of her
bed, her hat off and her dark hair
falhng loose.
"What was Moonlight saying?"
"Nothing," he said. "Your wrangler sleeps out in the moon too
much. He sees things."
"No. It was about the horses and
I've been thinking it wasn't possible
for twenty or thirty head to vanish
the way they did. What has Moonlight found?"
He didn't want to worry her with
'mysteries, and yet he didn't want
this discovery to get back to Clay
Manning either. He said, "That's
right, it was about the horses. Moonlight thinks he has the answer. I
don't think he has. But let it go for
now, will you? Don't talk."
She nodded and smiled a little.
"I learned to keep things to myself,
Lew, long ago. I've had such a
good example from you men."
He grinned, and yet, riding from
her, he hated that any doubt and
suspicion should begin to trouble her
so early on the trail.
Long before Lew felt an uneasiness himself the cattle were smelling something in the air. He had
marked six days in his logbook, estimating one hundred miles, when
they came that late afternoon to the
first stream bed on the plains. Pointing the herd into it, he searched on
north for the double mountain landmark and saw only the unbroken
horizon hard and sharp against the
sky.
There was no warning. One moment all the camp made its picture
clear before his eyes. Tom Arnold
stood with a tin cup waiting for
his coffee. Joy and s~~ve were sittmg on the tongue of her wagon in
one of their rare times together.
Three dim-shaped riders were coming in for their meal.
The next instant an unseen hand
struck the campfire, scattering its
red coals outward for a hundred
feet. The wagon canvases bellied
and slapped the bows like pistol
shots. The stars were suddenly
gone, and the wind's full force with
its choking dust was something that
a man nad to lean into strongly.
No one needed his yelled order.
Men were already running in the
pitch dark toward their horse~. Yet

no sound broke the almost silent
thrust of the wind. Here on the flat
plain, with nothing to strike against,
it made only a thin hiss through the
short grass. Then the ragged black
pool was ahead of him. He could
see the way they had swung north
now in the direction the wind was
blowing and knew they were held
from a run so far because no leader had started it off.
Their tight fear had to be broken.
He understood the slim chance a
man would have caught in that mass
it it jumped suddenly into its blind
stampede. But there was no other
way; he rode directly in among the
hard, unyielding bodies.
The familiarity of a horseman,
his voice lifted in a wordless crooning, seemed to ease their dumb
brains. They began to move aside.
They brought their heads down. He
crowded on, weaving toward the
middle.
There were other riders around
him in the dusty dark. Ghost shapes
appeared higher than the ridgepole
backs and vanished.
Until after midnight he had a certain hope. These storms came up
with the suddenness of a hurricane,
then often ended in a short time as
abruptly as they had come. But at
midnight the wind was still rising
with a harder thrust. It would not
end soon. By three it was blowing
with a strength that made his horse
unste~dy.
He knew the time by
the strange unearthly light beginning to show a little of the herd

for a distance that he could neither
see nor guess. And above the rumble
and clack of their walk the openmouthed groaning rose to a sharper
key that turned a man's nerves
raw.
He could no longer locate his rock
piles; only a slim chance would let
him blunder onto the double butte.
Each hour he could feel himself being pressed farther into the desert
of the Staked Plain, beyond the last
water that he knew.
Dragging off his saddle and throwing it onto the fresh horse that Jim
Hope brought, he spied two masked
figures butting into the wind. Moving toward them, he recognized Clay
Manning and Tom Arnold. They wter.•
shouting together.
He wanted a moment's talk, somehow the reassurance of other men's
words. Bending beside them he
yelled, "We've sure hit a bad one!"
It was Clay next to him. His head
turned. The violence of his answer
bulged the handkerchief from his
mouth. "A hell of a time to think
of that! How you going to get us out
of this?"
Tight nerves snapped. "Fly out!
You got a better way?"
"Did have," Clay flung back. "It
was a fool move at the start!"
"Lew?" Tom Arnold thrust himself in front of them. He looked
shrunken and dried out. "You got
any idea where we are?"
He couldn't have; they knew that.
He shook his head and started to
say, "All we can do-" A lash of the
old man's temper cut him off.
"Then, by God, I'm damned if I
know what you're here for! This
was no way to come!"
He had no answer; you didn't fight
Tom Arnold's temper. It would cool.
And he understood the bitterness of
what the man could lose. But at the
same time he saw the quick ven·
geance in Clay Manning's blood-shot
eyr:s. He had got in his word with

THE TWITCHELL CHILDDISARI\IAMENT PLAN
Elmer Twitchell came out today
with a proposal for a Disarmament Conference to precede the end
of the war. "I want it at once in
the interest of national safety," he
declared. It was quite startling until
Mr. Twitchell explained that it
would apply to children only.

"I am for the disarmament of kiddies under the age of eight," he
said. "The infants are swarming
all over the premises heeled to the
teeth, blood in their eyes and disposed to give and take no quarter.

"Little Willie, aged seven, sleeps
with a tommy-gun, comes to breakfast with a mortar and spends all
his spare time doing commando
work. Jackie, aged five, attends him
as a sort of armed bodyguard. Jerry,
aged three, toddles around the house
dragging a cannon, .Q couple of tanks
and an airplane carrier. Wallie,
aged one and a half, has a big force
of toy soldiers, a dozen airplanes
and a hangar in his crib.

around him. Their low-moaning
complaint had gone on these hours.
They began to move how in a sohd
way, too tired to stand any longer,
too restless to lie down.
Riding back in the first dusty
brown light of dawn, he saw that
Moonlight Bailey had already met
one danger by leading four mares
on picket ropes. Most of the horses
were crowding up close. They would
not desert their ladies. Jim Hop~
was riding behind them to catch any
drift.
From the campfire, loading up his
kegs for an early start, Owl-Head
yelled, "Breakfast, Lew? Got some
beans with plenty of sand!"
He shook his head and rode on to
where Joy's mules were harnessed.
She was up on the wagon seat with a
handkerchief across her nose and
mouth, ready to drive. He stepped
down and tied the mules' halter
ropes to the tail gate of the chuck
wagon. He had to shout above the
slapping rattle of canvas. "Get inside!"
Only the blinking squint of her
eyes showed over the handkerchief
edge. Her voice reached him stubbornly. "This is my job!"
He moved back to her, head down
and leaning against the wind. "You
want to go blind?" Sliding his arms
under her legs and behind her back,
he carried ;·.er to the rear end and
put her in on the wagon bed. He
grinned, feeling the dust dry in his
mouth. "You won't miss anything.
Don't stick your head out today."
She pulled the handkerchief down,
squinting up at his red-rimmed,
burning eyes. "Have you had any
sleep at all?"
"Sure," he said, "plenty." It was
like trying to talk inside of a drum.
Passing the cook again, he shouted, "Keep up close!" A man could
lose himself in this smother if he
ever missed the longhorns' trail.
In the short time since dawn the
herd had drifted more than a mile.
He followed their trampled swath
and came to the ragged edge of
drags. Only a few of their bony
rumps showed; all others on either
side and up toward the lead were
blotted out by the brown dust.
It was not a matter of driving
the herd now, but of holding it back.
They came on in a solid front, their
great horns swinging from side to
side as they crowded _a nd spread out

movies, and a fat little singer named
Brown! Brown sat on a piano long
before Helen Morgan, and in 1911
he was forever singing Alexander's
Ragtime Band. "Come on and hear!
Come on and hear!"
Irving Berlin, himself only 23
then, marked a whole high
school generation with that enduring song. Other songs of his
marked other generations, and
two wars. And now "My British Buddy" is melodic quick silver in London where Berlin's
"This Is the Army" repeats its
American success.
Ever since he rose above the job
of singing walter, Berlin has composed in F sharp. That is a toughie,
six black keys hard to pick out, and

With a French circus convinced him
he was in a business in which a
man rose only to fa,ll again.
The turn, lucky for Britain,
was made before the last war.
First off Scott-Paine designed
aircraft and through the war
years he layed the foundation of
a fortune so sizeable that 15
years ago 'Je could plan to loaf
the rest of his born days. He
had a wife, a son, three daughters to enjoy them.
About then, however, he came
upon a derelict Southampton shipyard, irresistible to a man who had
always wanted to build a better marine engine. He set to work with the
help of various men, including one
long-jawed fellow called Shaw. This
was really ~.he incredible Lawrence
of Arabia.
The Southampton yard after a
time produced the fastest singleengined speedboat in the world.
And in this war it sets the pattem for those terrific little motor
torpedo and gun boats flying the
Union Jack under Nazi noses.
There will be no second retirement for Scott-Paine for a white.

Conserve Sugar, but Satisfy Sweet Tooth
(See Recipes Below)

Saving on Sugar
Extensive summer and fall can.ning has left many a family low on
sugar. Homemakers are writing in
and asking for
recipes which will
give their families- "just something to satisfy
the sweet tooth"
-but that something must be sugar-saving.
Now that jellies are rationed you
may have to use what sugar you
can get for putting up those juices
you canned during summer for jelly
-and that means there will be less
sugar than before left for baking
uses , Sugar substitutes can be utilized not only in cakes and cookies
but desserts and icings. Many cake
recipes, too, can be made with less
sugar than they call for.
Fruits-in-season now include cranberries which are perfectly delicious in this steamed pudding:

•

Steamed Cranberry Pudding.
(Serves 4)
t cups fresh cranberries
1% cups flour
~ teaspoon salt
~ teaspoon cinnamon
~ teaspoon cloves
~ teaspoon mace
2 teaspoons soda
¥.! cup hot water
~ cup molasses
Mix flour, salt, spices and soda;
cut cranberries in two and add to
dry ingredients. Combine hot water and molasses; blend with first
mixture. Transfer to greased pudding mold; cover and steam 2 1h
hours. Unmold and serve with your
favorite pudding sauce.
Do chocolates satis fy the sweet
tooth in your family? Here is a
light, lovely dessert:
Chocolate Putt Soume.
(Serv1ls 6)
~ 7-ounce package
semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs
Melt chocolate with milk in top of
"ouble boiler. Beat with egg beater
until smooth. Add sugar, salt, vanilla and unbeaten eggs ; beat with
egg beater 1 minute. Cover, and
cook over boiling water 20 minutes
without lifting cover. Remove from
heat and serve immediately with
cream.
It is possible to make cakes without any sugar at all, but better results can be achieved if some sugar
is used in the cake. Too many allsyrup ca kes have a coarse t exture
to which we are unaccustomed after
years of light, fine-grained cakes.
H e re are suggestions which you can
be proud to add to your wa rtime
cookery collection:

Lynn Says:
Starve the Garbage Can! Precious vitamins lie right underneath the thin skin of carrots.
Don't pare, just scrub the vegetable.
The same is true of potatoes.
Scrub well and cook with skins

Young beets can be cooked as

You'll be delighted.

The warlords were in the inn
sumptuously quartered, lolling in fine
chairs in their stockinged feet, their
muddy boots on the beds. The Dictators were there too. They had
taken the whole first floor months
ahead and were now bellowing orders
to the servants. And they could be
heard complaining that their patience
was being exhausted. Greed was in
the inn, sprawled across a great bed.
Covetousness and Cupidity were
swaggering about the hall, laughing
coarsely. Hatred had taken over a
double room and could be heard
snarling at Envy and Intolerance,
who claimed to have a prior right
to the large chamber with' double
windows.

And in the corridors of the first
floor a great bully of a man slashing
about with a sword, reviling his companions, and boasting of some book
he had written about conquering all
mankind and reducing those who did
not agree with him to slavery. This
man was called Conquest and he
was demanding a great front suite
where he could have more breathing space. And nowhere within the
inn was there Love, Kindliness,
Faith, Hope or Charity.

• • •

Nuw there were in the country
humble people with no hate in their
hearts, keeping the faith, watching
over their own and affrighted by the
horrors that were about them and
by the drone of bombers that passed
overhead blotting out the glory of
the stars; and they were weat·y of
ultimatums and threats and challenge and counter challenge, and
sick of heart at the corruption of
mind and spirit.

• • •

And behold an Angel of the Lord
stood over them, and the brightnes:&gt;
of God shone round and said, "Feal'
not : for behold, I bring you gooo\
tidings of great joy that shall be to
all people: for this day is born to
you a Saviour, who is Christ the
Lord, in the city of David, and who
is the Prince of Peace, the Deliverer
of the afflicted and the Christ of love
and tolerance. And this shall be a
sign unto you: you shall find the
infant wrapped in swaddling clothes,
and laid in a manger.'' And suddenly
there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising
God and saring, "Gl'lry to God in
the highert, and on earth peace,
good will toward m e n ."

THE

Army-Navy 'E' Awards
Of Six Months' Duration
After a manufacturing plant has
held an Army-Navy "E" pennant
for six months, the company's record is reviewed by a government
awards board, says Collier's. If
the plant has equaled or exceeded
its previous six-months performance, a service star is added to
the flag; if it has not maintained
both quality and quantity through
the fault of either the management or the employees, the flag
is withdrawn and has to be earned
over again.

When you see news photos o1

Well, sales records in Post Exchanges and Canteens show that
Camels are the favorite cigarette

PROMPT BUYING OF
PLANT FOOD IS KEY
TO BIGGER '44 CROP
CHICAGO.-The wartime slogan.
''Food will win the war," might log.
lcally be amended to "Plant food
will win the war," since our nation's
fertilizer supply has ta!{en such an
important role in agricultural pro·
duction, according to a statement
made public by the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee.
"Farmers, as well as food production experts, realize that the use of
fertilizer is one of the most effective
means of obtaining an increased agricultural output to meet the great
war needll of the present," says the
statement. "The acreage available
for food production is limitP.d. Farm
help is so short as to make another
vital hazard. And, finally, present
machinery can handle only a given
number of acres.
I "High yields per acre are thus
necessary to obtain the grpatest posISible output from the land, the available labor and the machinery that is
usable. This increased production
can be aided by equitable distribu·
tion of available plant food re: sources where they will make the
greatest contribution to the food
growing campaign. Farmers are
·accepting their responsibility for the
success of such a program. In fact
:they are taking on the extra load
with cheerfulness and forethought.
I "As matters now stand, the fertilizer supply is limited by lack of
certain mineral elements, as some
scarcities already exist in the

!,amounts of potash and superphosphate available. Lend:lease com1

further are distributing the pr'E pnrC'd
materials in the most cfft•c ttve man
ner and adjusting their productio:r
schedules to a year-arot..nd rather
than a seasonal basis-a practk~
which crowds factory storage spare
beyond capacity.
"Farmers can do their part by
listing their needs early, placing
their orders promptly, taking shipments of their plant food well in advance of the crop season, and stor·
lng the fertilizer on their own farms
until it is needed for use on the soil.··
Cellar Storagt•
No doubt cellar stor41ge is the
more convenient way to kPPp vt&gt;getables. Too often, ho,wever, the
temperature of the room is too hi&lt;~'h
especially in the fall and the begtn~
ning of the winter. A cellar in which
the average temperatufe cannot" be
kept below 50 degrees is bound to
cause much spoilage of stored vegetables. Proper ventilation will help
to lower the temperature of a cellar
in the fall. Keep the cellar windows
open on cool nights and clo~e them
during warm days. If this is don&lt;'
consistently through Octr ber, it will
do much to cool the cellar walls.

So far, no high government man
has actually come out boldly for labor conscription. McNutt said to
the A. F. L. in Boston, "It is not
beyond the realm of possibility that 1
labor and management can . . .
take new and more stringent steps
under their own steam." What it
takes to speed up production when
working with free American people
is not a stringent step, if that means
compulsion.
•Last August this column carried
an account of prompt and amazin,
production gains achieved by the
Howard Radio Company of Ch ca&amp;o,
through incentive wage payments.
Howard makes signal equipment for
the Army. The management instituted an incentive plan by consent
of the War Labor Board.

Increased production is po ibL b t
drafting worlwrs will not ac c m
plish it. There is a proven be tt r
way that does not stmk of lhtlc.r. m.
Single Objective.
In a recent message to C'ongrC'ss,
President Roosevelt said, with e pc.cial reference to airplane prodt:ction: "A high rate of inc rca e lllli t
be maintained . . . and that means
constant stepping up of our production at home here." And thcrf"s no
disputing the correctness of t 1e
President's analysis. Even thP Germans say it is our air force that enables American troops to advance
against superior numbers. Planes
and more planes are vital to victory.
Surely it is fair to assume that
what the war effort needs is what
the President asked for: more production, not more men on the government's payroll. After all, thPre
is a difference. Interpreting the
President's plea for more planPs as
a signal to put U. S. civilians in lockstep is, to say the least, gettmg off
ahead of the starter's gun in a race
for dictatorship.
The American Way.
A few weeks ago I visited the
Beech Aircraft Corporation's plant
in Wichita, Kan., where workc&gt;rs and
owners together had launched a plan
to improve production and d v •loped it in one year to a dlgree of
efficiency that increased factory output 325 percent. They found ways to
turn out more than four hmes as
much as formerly. It required no
additional help and no bullying.
Common sense nnd p:1trioti ,m did
the trick. The vehicle was a rational incentive plan that divided profits
50-50 between the employees and the
corporation on all increased business. Each worker's effective in·
come accordingly was raised more
than 50 percent in 12 months. Similar things have been done in other
war production plants and might be
done in many more. The idea is
truly American in character. It is
tried and effective. •
The Hitler Idea
Der Fuehrer works forced labor.
He has 21h times as much population to draw from as we have, and
regularly gets less done. For an
example, consider steel, ever needful in w&lt;Jr. All the warr,ng coun..
tries are producing every ton of it
they can. Germany, with 300 million people, is al.&gt;le to prouuce 50
million tons a year; the Umted 1
States, with 120 million pl ople, pro- I
duces 90 million tons. Slaves never
do their best. Look at the contrast:

Albania Grows
Albania is slightly larger than
Sicily, or Vermont, and supports a
million people. Less than one-tenth of
its area has been under cultivation.
It normally exported olives cheese
c~ttle, . hides, bitumen, copper and
011. 01l production increased from
10,000 to 619,000 barrels a year ir.
three years, lifting Albania to sixth
among European nations in crude
oil production. The Italians built a
45-mile pipeline from Petrolia to
Valona.
Several district tribes comprise
the ~lbanian· "nation." Separatr&gt;d
by !ugh mountains, these tribes arc
in . orne instances more foreign to
each other than to peoples living
across international borders. Con·
stant feuding is a tradition of high
land life.
Great strides toward modernization have been made in recent years.
Albania has mineral wealth, large
forests, ample water power and other natural resources to support in·
dustrial growth.

CHAPTER VI
From the point he saw Steve and
Clay and Splann gather far behind
him. They rode like that for most
ot the afternoon.
The two white-topped wagons had
vanished early northward over a
swell of ground. It was almost dark
when he saw Owl-Head's plume of
smoke. He waved Joe Wheat up to
take his place. To Quarternight he
said, "I'm going on."
There was something he wanted
to look at before the longhorns'
hoofs trampled out all sign. His
knowledge that Cross T horses had
been run up Crazy Woman Creek to
these plains had gnawed inside of
him, its puzzle only half clear. Now
a deep notch in the plain's edge to
the east marked the entrance to
Crazy Woman. While off on his left
was the tank, a natural hollow covering several acres. It still held
enough muddy water, he saw, from
the winter's rain, and brougl\t himself to a sudden stop next moment.
It was clear enough in his mind
that the Indian Supply herd had
needed horses and had got them by
trading Cross T stock via the New
Mexico exchange. The men who
had caught him near Crazy Woman
were not only rustlers but part of
the Indian Supply crew. Yet what
still had no answer was Clay Manning's part in that deal.
Approaching camp where the two
wagons had stopped beside the
tank's rim, he saw the charred embers of other camps near the cook's
fire. Owl-Head rose from stirring
something in a Dutch oven and
jerked a thumb toward them. "What
do you make of that?"
He didn't say. No use spreading
what he knew. But Moonlight Bailey, driving ahead of the longhorns
with his hor,se herd, had cut that
trail from Crazy Woman. He was
riding in between the wagons now, a
small brown man with a bullfrog
voice.
"By Judas, Lew!" he burst out,
"I know where our saddle stock
went!''
"All right. Keep it to yourself."
"Keep it!" Moonlight's round,
simple face turned dusty red.
"Tom's ribbed me plenty for losin'
horses. If I hadn't listened to Clay,
him tellin' me there was no use.
lookin'-''
"Moonlight," he said, "shut up I"
He had seen the canvas of Joy's
wagon open. "Now you mind!"
Then he heard her voice behind
him. "Lew, come here."
He wheeled his horse around. She
was sitting on the blankets of her
bed, her hat off and her dark hair
falhng loose.
"What was Moonlight saying?"
"Nothing," he said. "Your wrangler sleeps out in the moon too
much. He sees things."
"No. It was about the horses and
I've been thinking it wasn't possible
for twenty or thirty head to vanish
the way they did. What has Moonlight found?"
He didn't want to worry her with
'mysteries, and yet he didn't want
this discovery to get back to Clay
Manning either. He said, "That's
right, it was about the horses. Moonlight thinks he has the answer. I
don't think he has. But let it go for
now, will you? Don't talk."
She nodded and smiled a little.
"I learned to keep things to myself,
Lew, long ago. I've had such a
good example from you men."
He grinned, and yet, riding from
her, he hated that any doubt and
suspicion should begin to trouble her
so early on the trail.
Long before Lew felt an uneasiness himself the cattle were smelling something in the air. He had
marked six days in his logbook, estimating one hundred miles, when
they came that late afternoon to the
first stream bed on the plains. Pointing the herd into it, he searched on
north for the double mountain landmark and saw only the unbroken
horizon hard and sharp against the
sky.
There was no warning. One moment all the camp made its picture
clear before his eyes. Tom Arnold
stood with a tin cup waiting for
his coffee. Joy and s~~ve were sittmg on the tongue of her wagon in
one of their rare times together.
Three dim-shaped riders were coming in for their meal.
The next instant an unseen hand
struck the campfire, scattering its
red coals outward for a hundred
feet. The wagon canvases bellied
and slapped the bows like pistol
shots. The stars were suddenly
gone, and the wind's full force with
its choking dust was something that
a man nad to lean into strongly.
No one needed his yelled order.
Men were already running in the
pitch dark toward their horse~. Yet

no sound broke the almost silent
thrust of the wind. Here on the flat
plain, with nothing to strike against,
it made only a thin hiss through the
short grass. Then the ragged black
pool was ahead of him. He could
see the way they had swung north
now in the direction the wind was
blowing and knew they were held
from a run so far because no leader had started it off.
Their tight fear had to be broken.
He understood the slim chance a
man would have caught in that mass
it it jumped suddenly into its blind
stampede. But there was no other
way; he rode directly in among the
hard, unyielding bodies.
The familiarity of a horseman,
his voice lifted in a wordless crooning, seemed to ease their dumb
brains. They began to move aside.
They brought their heads down. He
crowded on, weaving toward the
middle.
There were other riders around
him in the dusty dark. Ghost shapes
appeared higher than the ridgepole
backs and vanished.
Until after midnight he had a certain hope. These storms came up
with the suddenness of a hurricane,
then often ended in a short time as
abruptly as they had come. But at
midnight the wind was still rising
with a harder thrust. It would not
end soon. By three it was blowing
with a strength that made his horse
unste~dy.
He knew the time by
the strange unearthly light beginning to show a little of the herd

for a distance that he could neither
see nor guess. And above the rumble
and clack of their walk the openmouthed groaning rose to a sharper
key that turned a man's nerves
raw.
He could no longer locate his rock
piles; only a slim chance would let
him blunder onto the double butte.
Each hour he could feel himself being pressed farther into the desert
of the Staked Plain, beyond the last
water that he knew.
Dragging off his saddle and throwing it onto the fresh horse that Jim
Hope brought, he spied two masked
figures butting into the wind. Moving toward them, he recognized Clay
Manning and Tom Arnold. They wter.•
shouting together.
He wanted a moment's talk, somehow the reassurance of other men's
words. Bending beside them he
yelled, "We've sure hit a bad one!"
It was Clay next to him. His head
turned. The violence of his answer
bulged the handkerchief from his
mouth. "A hell of a time to think
of that! How you going to get us out
of this?"
Tight nerves snapped. "Fly out!
You got a better way?"
"Did have," Clay flung back. "It
was a fool move at the start!"
"Lew?" Tom Arnold thrust himself in front of them. He looked
shrunken and dried out. "You got
any idea where we are?"
He couldn't have; they knew that.
He shook his head and started to
say, "All we can do-" A lash of the
old man's temper cut him off.
"Then, by God, I'm damned if I
know what you're here for! This
was no way to come!"
He had no answer; you didn't fight
Tom Arnold's temper. It would cool.
And he understood the bitterness of
what the man could lose. But at the
same time he saw the quick ven·
geance in Clay Manning's blood-shot
eyr:s. He had got in his word with

THE TWITCHELL CHILDDISARI\IAMENT PLAN
Elmer Twitchell came out today
with a proposal for a Disarmament Conference to precede the end
of the war. "I want it at once in
the interest of national safety," he
declared. It was quite startling until
Mr. Twitchell explained that it
would apply to children only.

-·-

"I am for the disarmament of kiddies under the age of eight," he
said. "The infants are swarming
all over the premises heeled to the
teeth, blood in their eyes and disposed to give and take no quarter.

-·-

"Little Willie, aged seven, sleeps
with a tommy-gun, comes to breakfast with a mortar and spends all
his spare time doing commando
work. Jackie, aged five, attends him
as a sort of armed bodyguard. Jerry,
aged three, toddles around the house
dragging a cannon, .Q couple of tanks
and an airplane carrier. Wallie,
aged one and a half, has a big force
of toy soldiers, a dozen airplanes
and a hangar in his crib.

_,_

"There ain't a toy in the home
that doesn't represent carnage.
Hardly an hour passes that mother
doesn't find the kids in the course
of remodeling a chair or vacuum
cleaner into a landing barge for amphibious operations.

"The infants seem to be concentrating their attack on the skies, but
amphibious stuff comes next. They
do all kinds of ground and underseas fighting, too; heavy rocks

around him. Their low-moaning
complaint had gone on these hours.
They began to move how in a sohd
way, too tired to stand any longer,
too restless to lie down.
Riding back in the first dusty
brown light of dawn, he saw that
Moonlight Bailey had already met
one danger by leading four mares
on picket ropes. Most of the horses
were crowding up close. They would
not desert their ladies. Jim Hop~
was riding behind them to catch any
drift.
From the campfire, loading up his
kegs for an early start, Owl-Head
yelled, "Breakfast, Lew? Got some
beans with plenty of sand!"
He shook his head and rode on to
where Joy's mules were harnessed.
She was up on the wagon seat with a
handkerchief across her nose and
mouth, ready to drive. He stepped
down and tied the mules' halter
ropes to the tail gate of the chuck
wagon. He had to shout above the
slapping rattle of canvas. "Get inside!"
Only the blinking squint of her
eyes showed over the handkerchief
edge. Her voice reached him stubbornly. "This is my job!"
He moved back to her, head down
and leaning against the wind. "You
want to go blind?" Sliding his arms
under her legs and behind her back,
he carried ;·.er to the rear end and
put her in on the wagon bed. He
grinned, feeling the dust dry in his
mouth. "You won't miss anything.
Don't stick your head out today."
She pulled the handkerchief down,
squinting up at his red-rimmed,
burning eyes. "Have you had any
sleep at all?"
"Sure," he said, "plenty." It was
like trying to talk inside of a drum.
Passing the cook again, he shouted, "Keep up close!" A man could
lose himself in this smother if he
ever missed the longhorns' trail.
In the short time since dawn the
herd had drifted more than a mile.
He followed their trampled swath
and came to the ragged edge of
drags. Only a few of their bony
rumps showed; all others on either
side and up toward the lead were
blotted out by the brown dust.
It was not a matter of driving
the herd now, but of holding it back.
They came on in a solid front, their
great horns swinging from side to
side as they crowded _a nd spread out

CORPORAL ROBERT H . WEEKS

In May of 1942 Mrs. Weeks
reeeivE-d a Jet ·r fr'"~n: tl,e W •
Department reading in part as
follows;
"Corporal Roberc H.
Weelcs, according to the latest
information avaiiable. was serv·
ing in the Philipt&gt;ine Islands at
the time of the final surrender.
In the last days beforr the surrender of Bataan . there were
Cflsualties which were not reported to the War Department,
Conceivably the same is true of
the surrender of Corregidor and
possibly of other islands of the
Philippines.
The Japanese government has indicated its intention of conforming to the
terms of the Geneva Convention
with respect to the interchange
of information regarding prisoners of war. At some future date
this Government will receive
tbrou~..h Geneva a list of persoms
who have been taken prisoners
of war.
Until that time the
War Department cannot give you
positive information. The War
Depart meet will consider the
persons servwg in the Philippine
Ic;lands as ·'missing in action"
from the date of the surrender
of Corregidor, May 7, 1942. until definite information to the
contrary is received." Last Jan
uary Mrs. Weeks received word
from the U. S. Government that
R•)bert was a prisoner of the
Japanese.

The gifts of relatives and friends
-:hall remind you of the prcc ious and pr:ccleBs gift which God has in
store for you, so great thnt Uud chooses an angel to anuounce it. Listen
to the message: "Fear not, fur brhold, I Lring you good tidings of
great JOY, which :-h:11l Le to all people. For unto you is Lorn this dny
in the city of David u S:wiur, \":hich is Christ the Lord."

Great is your misery without tlwt :Savior. You, too, like the ::;hcpherds, have every reason to fear, if sud,knly the glory of the Lord
would shine round about you, for your conscience bears you witnesfl,
that you are not on right terms w ith your Uod. And sadder still, you
can never undo what you have donr. The t&gt;vil you hn ve done a1,d the
good you have omitted cry out agnin11t you.
Great is the grace of God. who without any merit or worthine::s in
you has drvisPd a plan by which HE would reconcile the world with
Himself, since WE could not reconcile ourselves with HIM. He spared
not HIS own SON. but drliverPd him up for us all. That i:t God's

A man ,.wounded in action now
has a much better chance of
recovering than ever before,
thanks to the advances of medical science, says Maj. Gen. Norman Kirk, surgeon general of
the U. S. army. Chief reasons
for the improvements are the
use of blood plasma to overcome
shock and hemorrhage, sulfa
drugs to hold down irlfections,
and the greater mobility and superior organization of medical
units.
So far in this war, 3.16 per cent
of those who were brought in wound-

ed have died, as compared with 7.35
per cent in the last war, or less
than half. While these figures are
not entirely comparable, since more
men are killed outright by the more
lethal modern weapons, nevertheless, a very substantial improvemen&gt;: has been made.
The lifesavmg branches of the services have
more than kept up with the deadliness of the latest bombs and shells.
For instance, in one of the Egyptian campaigns, head wounds resulted in a mortality rate of only 9 per
cent. In World War I, from 50 to
60 per cent died. Head wounds are
injuries to the scalp, skull or brain.
Lpsses of extremities will be much
smaller than last time, it is predicted, on experience to date, largely
because infections can be better control.ted now.
C11ntrol of infection by use of the
highly publicized su1fonamides and
the mysterious and rare penicillin
is popularly misunderstood, army
doctors warn. The sulfa drugs hold
the infection in check until the natural defenses of the body are able
to kHl the bacteria. Penicillin prevents the growth of new bacteria.
It has been found gratifyingly successful in treatment of osteomyelitis
and other stubborn types of infections that will not yield to sulfona- .
mides. While these "miracle drugs"
do not mean the end of infected
wounds, surgeons say that this most
serious danger is being conquered.
Wounded Get Speedy Aid.
Speedy treatment is probably the
most important point in saving
lives, after the new techniques. It
is estimated that 80 to 90 per cent
of wounded men receive first aid
within an hour after being hurt. Every soldier carries a little kit with
him, containing sulfa tablets and
dressings. If he is hurt badly, and
unable to apply these himself, a
comrade will do it. Then, as soon as
possible, stretcher-bearers come for
him, and carry him to a fu:st aid
tent, the battalion aid station, only
a few hundred yards behind the firing line.
Here a doctor examines the wound
and checks the treatment administered by the medical aid soldier. The
doctor treats the shock with injections of blood plasma, and gives
morphine to ease the pain. He puts
on necessary splints or dressings.
As soon as the man's condition
permits he is moved by ambulance,
jeep, or litter to a collecting station, which is also a mobile unit,
placed as close to the front as is at
all safe. Here the patient is classified as to type of injury: head,

•
•

chest, leg, etc. A complete record
is m~dc of the injury and treatment
received so far.
Next the injured soldier goes to
the ~learing.s~tion, where a mobile
surgical umt IS on hand to take
care of desperate cases. By the
time the clearing station has been
reached, men with minor wounds are
ready to return to service. Men
with serious wounds are sent on to
evacuation hospitals, hundreds of
miles away. Airplanes are frequently used to move casualty cases swiftly. After treatment at the evacuation hospital, a man may be returned to service, or sent back to
the States for prolonged treatment.
If he is unfit for any service, he is
given a medical discharge.
Navy Much the Same.
Naval medical care is similar to
the army's. Small ships such as
·
·
submarmes
and destroyers,' have httie more than first aid equipment,
while battleships have a complete
hospital aboard, known as the "sick
bay." This includes a ward room of
36 to 180 beds, a surgical dressing
room, an operating room, dispensary, laboratory, and doctors' and dentists' offices. Wounded seamen from
smaller ships are moved to these
sick bays.
First aid supplies are located in
many parts of every s'lip, so that
destruction of one section will not
deprive men in other parts of aid.
The marine field hospital system
resembles the army's, with certain
differences necessitated by the special problems of that dashing corps.
Base hospitals are much like those
of the army, being large and completely modern.
Treatment of mental cases has
received much attention in this war.
First, every effort is made at induction stations to reject men who
would be likely to break down under stress of war dangers and hardships. Despite this caution, many
men crack under the strain. In
various overseas hospitals, admissious for mental ills amount to 20
to 25 per cent of all cases. Soldiers
who suffer neuropsychiatric collapses
are sent to evacuation hospitals,
where they are treated by sedatives,
prolonged rest, food, and certain
techniques that allow them to release their pent-up emotions. They
are encouraged to talk about their
frightful experiences. From 50 to 70

cup1e
The army maintains about 80 genera! hospitals in the United States,
each containing about a thousand
beds. There are about 600 smaller
institutions at various posts throughout the world. Army personnel
have about 350,000 beds available,
and more hospitals are in construetion. The navy operates 36 general
hospitals and seven convalescent
institutions in the United States, totaling 40,000 beds. Facilities at
posts and stations amount to an additional 25,000 beds.
Prevention.
Another important service of the
medical departments is prevention
of diseases by antitoxins and sanitary measures. Inoculations in both
army and navy include serums to
prevent typhoid fever, smallpox,
tetanus, yellow fever, typhus, cholera and plague. Some are given to
every man in service, others only to
those who will likely be exposed to a
particular disease.
Results have been most satisfactory. During 1942 there were no
cases of yellow fever or cholera
in the army, and only a few cases
of smallpox and plague. About 50
men became sick with typhus, but
only less than half a dozen died.
Scarcely any man who had been
inoculated for tetanus developed infection. The navy reported similar
success in battling diseases.
Last war the influenza epidemic
swept through army camps, causing
80 per cent of the disease deaths
in 1918. A mild epidemic threatened
in December, 1941, and lasted until
March, 1942, but it was easily controlled, and practically no deaths resulted. A form of pneumonia called
"atypal" has been widespread, and
has put many men in the hoslJital,
but the mortality rate is low. Recovery is slow, so loss of time from
duty is serious.
Servicemen in the tropics are exposed to some bizarre diseases such
as filariasis, a parasitic ailment
transmitted by mosquitoes. The ailment breaks forth in lesions and
glandular swellings. Only about seven cases per 100,000 men have been
reported.
Fighters 1n the South seas have
encountered malaria in the swampy
islands. In 1942 the army's rate of
malarial infection was about 30 men
per thousand. It rose to 80 per

Reconditioning.
The army medical department is
developing a program to put the
wounded soldier in the best possible
condition upon his dismissal from
the hospital. This is called reconditioning. One phase is designed to
reorient the handicapped man-the
blind, deaf, and crippled. Blind men
are taught Braille writing and reading and other skills that make life
easier. The deaf learn lip reading.
Men who have suffered amputations
get artificial limbs and special training. When possible, these unfortunate men are helped to earn a

DISCOVERY

Christmas Spirit
,...

Although the time for the "adoption" ot an overseas serviceman has
passed, Joyce Reynolds, movie starlet, demonstrates the enthusiasm
with wltich the first drive of its kind
was cali'ried on. Thousands of Yule
packag1~s were deposited in Uncle
Sam's tnail pooches in response to
a campaign undertaken by a California newspaper.

Tables Laden at
Y ork~shire Yule
Christmas Eve is known as
"Frumity Night" in the North Riding of Y Nkshire, England, on ac::ount of the delicious dish always
served at the Christmas Eve supper. This dish is made from wheat
stewed ("creaved" is the local word)
in the oven for several hours, then
boiled with milk in a saucepan,
thickened with flour, sweetened with
molasses md served with cinnamon.
Among the many former customs
existent in Yorkshire are those
governing a Christmas tea. To begin
with, there is sugar-cured ham at
the top of the table; the pork-pie,
so golden brown outside with its
pattern of pastry le&lt;~.ves, and so firm
and luscious inside, with clear,
savory jelly filling up the crannies,
that the pale imitations called porkpies elsewhere seem really a sort of
insult; the spiced loaf, cut thin, and
butte red with the freshest of fresh
butter; the Christmas cake in the
cent' e, made last October at latest,
and ilrowing richer and richer in its
ctaril. solitllde ever since; flaky
mince-pies bursting with dried fruits
and apples and spices; home-made
brt~ad; hot Sally Lunn teacakes that
come in later, all hot and hot, making everybody, however full, find
room for one bit more-and this no
fancy p1cture. One can imagine no
worse punishment for a greedy villain than to sit at a table spread
with a Yorkshire Christmas tea,
while he gnaws digestive biscuits
for ever and ever.

Cream Developed by Navy Medical Corps
Protects Skin From ' Flash Burn' Injuries
A skin cream that gives positive
protection against one of the deadliest and most disabling of b~ttle hazards- flash burns- has been perfected by Naval Medical researchers.
The substance has the consistency of ordinary cold cream but is
battleship gray in color. About an
ounce and a half, smeared across
the face, neck, forearms and hands,
will afford protection of those parts.
;

It is not necessary to apply the thin
coating to covered portions of the
body since clothing alone-even a
thin undershirt-provides adequate
protection against all but the most
intense flash burns.
Picture shows a laboratory-made
flash burn on the arm of Lieut. Com.
Gordon B. Fauley, who is in charge
of the research project that devP!oped the cream.

year to lay down the
heaviness of spirit and to think only
of goodwill toward men.
There's an elegance about Chri~t­
mas dinner which you can't avmd
even if you serve the simplest of
food. Perhaps it is the spirit w:lth
which it's prepared and the blessm_g
with which it is eaten. Whatever 1t
fs, make the most of it with whatever you have.
And now to the bustling and busyness that is Christmas. If your
choice for the dinner is ham, and
you've been saving your points for
it, prepare it thus:
*Christmas Ham.
1 smoked ham
2 cups fruit juice
I cup brown sugar
2 dozen whole cloves
Place the ham rind side up, on an
open roasting pan. Bake in a slow
even (325 degrees) for 18 minutes
per pound for the average size ham,
10 to 12 pounds; 16 to 17 minutes for
larger hams, 12 to 15 pounds. When
ham has been baked for required
length of time remove from oven
and cut away the rind. Score ham
with a sharp lmife, rub sugar over
surface and stick ..._

trequently with

If the ham is precooked, it needs
only to be heated thoroughly before
the glazing.
You've chosen a turkey for the
Yule meal? Then, here's the stuffing
for it:
Savory Stuffing.
(For a 12-pound bird)
8 eups toasted bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1,4 teaspoon pepper

parsley, or

2 onions, diced
2 tablespoons fat

several ornaments to each stem
ard use the same wire that is

Silvered twigs are pretty with
red and green gumdrops. Use a
low black bowl for this setting,
or place them on one of those
pale blue mirrors which you may
have.
Favorite in many homes is the
iced gingerbread house. Make a
gingerbread dough, roll out and
cut to fit house. Put together
with white icing, sprinkle t.1e

Sometimes the family receives as
much pleasure from the relish as
they do from the meat of the day.
Here is a delightful, colorful relish:
•Cranberry-Apple Relish.
(Makes 1~ quarts)
4 cups fresh cranberries
2 apples, pared and cored

This will keep indefinitely.
Vegetables to go with dinner are
important. These two will harmonize in color and texture to complement your entree:
*Fried Brussels Sprouts.
(Serves 6)
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons drippings
4 cups cooked brussels sprouts
Cook onion in butter until tender,
add sprouts and toss gently until
thoroughly heated.
Yam Puff.
(Serves 6)
4 large yams or swE&gt;et potatoes
~ cup margarine
2 well-beaten eggs
~ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Peel potatoes and boil until soft.
Mash and add remaining ingredients. Beat well and place in greased
casserole. Dot with butter or margarine and bake until brown, about
lh hour.
*Beet-Olive Salad.
(Serves 6)
4 cups cooked beets, cut in strips
~ cup sliced, stuffed olives
3 tablespoons french dressing
Toss together beets, olives and
french dressing. Serve in lettuce
cups.
It would no longer be practical to
give an elaborate recipe for fruit
cake, so here is one more simple
than I've given in other years. It is
delicious. Pick over fruit carefully,
chop rather than grind it:
•wartime Fruit Cake.
1 cup dried apricots
lJ4 cup sugar
lJ4 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 cup seedless raisins
~ cup candied cherries
~ cup candied orange peel
~ cup candied citron
~ cup blanched almonds
Yz teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups flour
~ teaspoon salt
Boil apricots 1 minute, drain, then
slice. Cream sugar with shortening,
add eggs beaten until light and
thick, then combine with fruit and
almonds.
Slice cherries, orange
peel, and citron before measuring.
Add flour sifted with salt and beat
thoroughly. Pour into small, greased
oven glass dish, cover with glass
top and bake 114 hours in a slow
oven, 275 degrees.

Question: Our house has been neglected for some time and the foundation seems to be crumbling. Rubbing against the c~llar wall makes
the cement break off like sand, and
water ;;eeps in after heavy rains.
What can be done to stop this condition?
A;1swer: If the concrete is very
sa;1dy and porous there is little that
can be done, especially if it is sandy
for its entire thickness. However,
it may help to coat the outside of
the foundation walls down to the
footings with liquid tar or asphalt,
and paint the inside of the walls
with a cement base paint obtained
from a dealer in mason materials.

made public here today by the Mld

"The necessity for prompt action
in making arranciements for ff&gt;rti

out.
"For example, labor shor~.1ges in

"Freight traffic Jams rw'cd by
both railroads and truck lines are
growing more serious d ..u!y.
"Shortages of essential raw materials for fertilizer have already developed. This is especially true of
superphosphate and potash.
"Meanwhile, added requirements
of lend-lease shipments are reducing fertilizer supplies available to
American farmers.
"In the face of all these difficulties, the fertilizer industry in the
Midwest, as elsewhere, is domg its
utmost to provide for the essential
needs of every farmer_
"By ordering fertilizer early and
taking delivery when the production
and shipping schedules of the factories permit, farmers can be assured of plant food in time for their

CHAPTER VII
Far off, in what he knew now was
south, Lew picked out the first column of his scattered herd. Two oth·
ers were separated from it by perhaps three miles. On behind them he
found the white tops of the wagons.
But as he moved his gaze on slowly
around the sharp horizon there was
no sign of water nor the double
butte to set him on his course. His
moment's gratefulness sank to a
heavy dread. They had come too
far from the last watered camp.
The cattle couldn't go on. Another
day would bring its killing heat, for
clouds that followed a dust storm
never held long.
He was staring east; he gave his
head a sudden jerk to clear it. He
wiped one hand across his swollen
eyes. They weren't tricking him.
As if from the grass roots smoke

and shaped a pillar, broke and rose
and broke again. Willy Nickle . . .
sending up his talk!
He spurred his tired horse south.
Halfway toward the scattered columns he drew his gun again and
fired it. He pulled his horse around
into short fast circles.
They heard his shots that time
and saw his signal. Little figures of
men started out toward him. He
rode on and met John Quarternight
first. The old man's beard was muddy white, his ey~s puffed almost
closed.
"Boy," he said, "we got here.
Wherever that be. There's someone's camp, though, yonder."
"Willy Nickle, I think," Lew said.
"I'm going to look. I'll leave you to
gather up."
The creek was still two miles off,
and before he reached it the smoke
ended. Riding into a little grove
of trees, he found only the embers,
no sign of Willy Nickle at first, until he saw the forked stick. It had
been thrust into the ground with one
prong like a thumb pointing downstream. He followed in the stick's
direction.
Sheltered from wind and rain, a
snug retreat, Willy Nickle sat, cont entedly smoking his black clay pipe.
He threw up his left hand in a silent
salute and dropped it. His gentle
face was brown and smooth from a
rece1.t shave.
Lew grinned and shifted over into
one stirrup, halting. "Well," he
said, "we had a wind."
Willy nodded. "So you did."
"I guess," Lew said, "we clean
missed the double butte. Came too
far north maybe. But here's a river."
"South branch of the Pease," said
Willy. He took the cherry pipestem from his mouth and pointed
with it. "If a man heads out of
here quarterin' east of north he'll
hit a creek of the Red. He'll follow
that to the Red herself, ten miles
above Doan's store. Two days, maybe, if his men have made it."

when Splann's eyes went past his

came over him. He leaned forward
a little, confiding, "Burnet, you stay
clear. You've got a lot to learn,
some things you don't want to know.
And you've got a lot to lose." His
eyes moved again.
Footsteps crackled in the dry
leaves, and then Joy called gayly,
"Lew! Come and look!"
She passed beyond them looking
pleased, with something bundled in
her arms. She was barelegged and
her long hair, washed and dried,
was soft around her head.
Splann's eyes follo71ed her through
the trees. Then they came back
with a knowing shrewdness. "You
take my advice and you'll get your
pay. One thing about you ain't hard

horse toward the picketed mounts.

hands covering her lap. "Lew . . .

Doctor-When you get to sleep Is
your rest unbroken?
Hitler-1 haven't had any unbroken rest since I started to prove
the Nazis are supermen.
Doctor-Do you have bad dreams?
Hitler-If I could be sure they
were just dreams I'd be all right.
Doctor-Have you lost any weight
lately?
Hitler-1 never admit a loss of
anything. If 1 dropped a few pounds
it was a disengagement.
Doctor-Do you tire more easily
than you used to?
Hitler-Yes, and it you'd been

Crooning Out the Bottlenecks
Henry Kaiser, industrialist famed
!or getting things done, got off a
plane at LaGuardia Field the other
day, bound for the Brewster plant
which he has taken over, and sang
for reporters the "Oklahoma" hit:
Oh, what a beautiful morning,
Oh, what a beautiful day;
Oh, what a beautiful feelingEverything's going my way!

-·-

We think this is of tremendous
significance. Taken advantage of, it
can establish a trend in production
methods that may stir the world.
Crooners and songsters alone attain
th eir goals easily these cockeyed
days.
We propose that Frankie
Sinatra be teamed with Mr. Kaiser
as a co-worker. Or that all production chiefs take lessons from Frankie
and then, hurrying back to the troubled plants, smooth out everything
with song.

It's the War
I once objected when I knew
That nearby someone cooked a
stew;
Now, like a fox, who scents the air,
I've trained my senses to compare
The famtest air-borne hint of ham,

Inhaling now, with door ajar,
I savor steaks that broil afar.

The war and the crude rubber
shortage have given empna•

more than 70 years prominent
chemists in Europe, Russia and
the United States have beea
working on the development
of this substitute for natural
rubber.
O ne topper can collect about sht

This yi•llds about 20 pounds of

In May of 1942 Mrs. Weeks
reeeivE-d a Jet ·r fr'"~n: tl,e W •
Department reading in part as
follows;
"Corporal Roberc H.
Weelcs, according to the latest
information avaiiable. was serv·
ing in the Philipt&gt;ine Islands at
the time of the final surrender.
In the last days beforr the surrender of Bataan . there were
Cflsualties which were not reported to the War Department,
Conceivably the same is true of
the surrender of Corregidor and
possibly of other islands of the
Philippines.
The Japanese government has indicated its intention of conforming to the
terms of the Geneva Convention
with respect to the interchange
of information regarding prisoners of war. At some future date
this Government will receive
tbrou~..h Geneva a list of persoms
who have been taken prisoners
of war.
Until that time the
War Department cannot give you
positive information. The War
Depart meet will consider the
persons servwg in the Philippine
Ic;lands as ·'missing in action"
from the date of the surrender
of Corregidor, May 7, 1942. until definite information to the
contrary is received." Last Jan
uary Mrs. Weeks received word
from the U. S. Government that
R•)bert was a prisoner of the

A man ,.wounded in action now
has a much better chance of
recovering than ever before,
thanks to the advances of medical science, says Maj. Gen. Norman Kirk, surgeon general of
the U. S. army. Chief reasons
for the improvements are the
use of blood plasma to overcome
shock and hemorrhage, sulfa
drugs to hold down irlfections,
and the greater mobility and superior organization of medical
units.
So far in this war, 3.16 per cent
of those who were brought in wound-

ed have died, as compared with 7.35
per cent in the last war, or less
than half. While these figures are
not entirely comparable, since more
men are killed outright by the more
lethal modern weapons, nevertheless, a very substantial improvemen&gt;: has been made.
The lifesavmg branches of the services have
more than kept up with the deadliness of the latest bombs and shells.
For instance, in one of the Egyptian campaigns, head wounds resulted in a mortality rate of only 9 per
cent. In World War I, from 50 to
60 per cent died. Head wounds are
injuries to the scalp, skull or brain.
Lpsses of extremities will be much
smaller than last time, it is predicted, on experience to date, largely
because infections can be better control.ted now.
C11ntrol of infection by use of the
highly publicized su1fonamides and
the mysterious and rare penicillin
is popularly misunderstood, army
doctors warn. The sulfa drugs hold
the infection in check until the natural defenses of the body are able
to kHl the bacteria. Penicillin prevents the growth of new bacteria.
It has been found gratifyingly successful in treatment of osteomyelitis
and other stubborn types of infections that will not yield to sulfona- .
mides. While these "miracle drugs"
do not mean the end of infected
wounds, surgeons say that this most
serious danger is being conquered.
Wounded Get Speedy Aid.
Speedy treatment is probably the
most important point in saving
lives, after the new techniques. It
is estimated that 80 to 90 per cent
of wounded men receive first aid
within an hour after being hurt. Every soldier carries a little kit with
him, containing sulfa tablets and
dressings. If he is hurt badly, and
unable to apply these himself, a
comrade will do it. Then, as soon as
possible, stretcher-bearers come for
him, and carry him to a fu:st aid
tent, the battalion aid station, only
a few hundred yards behind the firing line.
Here a doctor examines the wound
and checks the treatment administered by the medical aid soldier. The
doctor treats the shock with injections of blood plasma, and gives
morphine to ease the pain. He puts
on necessary splints or dressings.
As soon as the man's condition
permits he is moved by ambulance,
jeep, or litter to a collecting station, which is also a mobile unit,
placed as close to the front as is at
all safe. Here the patient is classified as to type of injury: head,

•
•

chest, leg, etc. A complete record
is m~dc of the injury and treatment
received so far.
Next the injured soldier goes to
the ~learing.s~tion, where a mobile
surgical umt IS on hand to take
care of desperate cases. By the
time the clearing station has been
reached, men with minor wounds are
ready to return to service. Men
with serious wounds are sent on to
evacuation hospitals, hundreds of
miles away. Airplanes are frequently used to move casualty cases swiftly. After treatment at the evacuation hospital, a man may be returned to service, or sent back to
the States for prolonged treatment.
If he is unfit for any service, he is
given a medical discharge.
Navy Much the Same.
Naval medical care is similar to
the army's. Small ships such as
·
·
submarmes
and destroyers,' have httie more than first aid equipment,
while battleships have a complete
hospital aboard, known as the "sick
bay." This includes a ward room of
36 to 180 beds, a surgical dressing
room, an operating room, dispensary, laboratory, and doctors' and dentists' offices. Wounded seamen from
smaller ships are moved to these
sick bays.
First aid supplies are located in
many parts of every s'lip, so that
destruction of one section will not
deprive men in other parts of aid.
The marine field hospital system
resembles the army's, with certain
differences necessitated by the special problems of that dashing corps.
Base hospitals are much like those
of the army, being large and completely modern.
Treatment of mental cases has
received much attention in this war.
First, every effort is made at induction stations to reject men who
would be likely to break down under stress of war dangers and hardships. Despite this caution, many
men crack under the strain. In
various overseas hospitals, admissious for mental ills amount to 20
to 25 per cent of all cases. Soldiers
who suffer neuropsychiatric collapses
are sent to evacuation hospitals,
where they are treated by sedatives,
prolonged rest, food, and certain
techniques that allow them to release their pent-up emotions. They
are encouraged to talk about their
frightful experiences. From 50 to 70

Soldiers in classes three and four

can help the ward attendants in
their duties, and engage in such
games as their condition permits. A
program of education in military and
cultural sciences and entertainments helps to keep their minds oc· d and at ease.
cup1e
The army maintains about 80 genera! hospitals in the United States,
each containing about a thousand
beds. There are about 600 smaller
institutions at various posts throughout the world. Army personnel
have about 350,000 beds available,
and more hospitals are in construetion. The navy operates 36 general
hospitals and seven convalescent
institutions in the United States, totaling 40,000 beds. Facilities at
posts and stations amount to an additional 25,000 beds.
Prevention.
Another important service of the
medical departments is prevention
of diseases by antitoxins and sanitary measures. Inoculations in both
army and navy include serums to
prevent typhoid fever, smallpox,
tetanus, yellow fever, typhus, cholera and plague. Some are given to
every man in service, others only to
those who will likely be exposed to a
particular disease.
Results have been most satisfactory. During 1942 there were no
cases of yellow fever or cholera
in the army, and only a few cases
of smallpox and plague. About 50
men became sick with typhus, but
only less than half a dozen died.
Scarcely any man who had been
inoculated for tetanus developed infection. The navy reported similar
success in battling diseases.

swept through army camps, causing
80 per cent of the disease deaths
in 1918. A mild epidemic threatened
in December, 1941, and lasted until
March, 1942, but it was easily controlled, and practically no deaths resulted. A form of pneumonia called
"atypal" has been widespread, and
has put many men in the hoslJital,
but the mortality rate is low. Recovery is slow, so loss of time from
duty is serious.
Servicemen in the tropics are exposed to some bizarre diseases such
as filariasis, a parasitic ailment
transmitted by mosquitoes. The ailment breaks forth in lesions and
glandular swellings. Only about seven cases per 100,000 men have been
reported.
Fighters 1n the South seas have
encountered malaria in the swampy
islands. In 1942 the army's rate of
malarial infection was about 30 men
per thousand. It rose to 80 per
thousand during 1943, because of inPharmacist's mates on board a creased activities in .the st-eaming

Reconditioning.
The army medical department is
developing a program to put the

reorient the handicapped man-the

are taught Braille writing and reading and other skills that make life
easier. The deaf learn lip reading.

DISCOVERY

Christmas Spirit
,...

Although the time for the "adoption" ot an overseas serviceman has
passed, Joyce Reynolds, movie starlet, demonstrates the enthusiasm
with wltich the first drive of its kind
was cali'ried on. Thousands of Yule
packag1~s were deposited in Uncle
Sam's tnail pooches in response to
a campaign undertaken by a California newspaper.

Tables Laden at
Y ork~shire Yule
Christmas Eve is known as
"Frumity Night" in the North Riding of Y Nkshire, England, on ac::ount of the delicious dish always
served at the Christmas Eve supper. This dish is made from wheat
stewed ("creaved" is the local word)
in the oven for several hours, then
boiled with milk in a saucepan,
thickened with flour, sweetened with
molasses md served with cinnamon.
Among the many former customs
existent in Yorkshire are those
governing a Christmas tea. To begin
with, there is sugar-cured ham at
the top of the table; the pork-pie,
so golden brown outside with its
pattern of pastry le&lt;~.ves, and so firm
and luscious inside, with clear,
savory jelly filling up the crannies,
that the pale imitations called porkpies elsewhere seem really a sort of
insult; the spiced loaf, cut thin, and
butte red with the freshest of fresh
butter; the Christmas cake in the
cent' e, made last October at latest,
and ilrowing richer and richer in its
ctaril. solitllde ever since; flaky
mince-pies bursting with dried fruits
and apples and spices; home-made
brt~ad; hot Sally Lunn teacakes that
come in later, all hot and hot, making everybody, however full, find
room for one bit more-and this no
fancy p1cture. One can imagine no
worse punishment for a greedy villain than to sit at a table spread
with a Yorkshire Christmas tea,
while he gnaws digestive biscuits
for ever and ever.

Cream Developed by Navy Medical Corps
Protects Skin From ' Flash Burn' Injuries
A skin cream that gives positive
protection against one of the deadliest and most disabling of b~ttle hazards- flash burns- has been perfected by Naval Medical researchers.
The substance has the consistency of ordinary cold cream but is
battleship gray in color. About an
ounce and a half, smeared across
the face, neck, forearms and hands,
will afford protection of those parts.
;

It is not necessary to apply the thin
coating to covered portions of the
body since clothing alone-even a
thin undershirt-provides adequate
protection against all but the most
intense flash burns.
Picture shows a laboratory-made
flash burn on the arm of Lieut. Com.
Gordon B. Fauley, who is in charge
of the research project that devP!oped the cream.

If Rabaul falls, Truk is only a bomber's flight away. And if Truk falls,

destroyed 286 Japanese planes,

sank six enemy ships, including
a heavy cruiser. For this Geiger
was given a Gold star in place
of a second Navy Cross. He won
his first Cross in 1918, in France.
The general began in the marines
as an enlisted man. Fourteen months
later, in 1909, he had a second lieutenancy. Before and after the World
war he served all over . . . in China,
Cuba, the Philippines. He flew medical supplies to hurricane victims of
Santo Domingo in 1930, a relief plane
to earthquake victims in Nicaragua
a year later. Stocky, cocky, sharpeyed, he will fly a plane anywhere
but he is also one of the marines'
best trained leaders, a graduate of

There's an elegance about Chri~t­

even if you serve the simplest of
food. Perhaps it is the spirit w:lth
which it's prepared and the blessm_g
with which it is eaten. Whatever 1t
fs, make the most of it with whatever you have.
And now to the bustling and busyness that is Christmas. If your
choice for the dinner is ham, and
you've been saving your points for
it, prepare it thus:
*Christmas Ham.

2 cups fruit juice
I cup brown sugar
2 dozen whole cloves
Place the ham rind side up, on an
open roasting pan. Bake in a slow

If the ham is precooked, it needs
only to be heated thoroughly before
the glazing.

Yule meal? Then, here's the stuffing
for it:

Sometimes the family receives as

This will keep indefinitely.
Vegetables to go with dinner are
important. These two will harmonize in color and texture to complement your entree:
*Fried Brussels Sprouts.
(Serves 6)
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons drippings
4 cups cooked brussels sprouts
Cook onion in butter until tender,
add sprouts and toss gently until
thoroughly heated.
Yam Puff.
(Serves 6)
4 large yams or swE&gt;et potatoes
~ cup margarine
2 well-beaten eggs
~ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Peel potatoes and boil until soft.
Mash and add remaining ingredients. Beat well and place in greased
casserole. Dot with butter or margarine and bake until brown, about
lh hour.
*Beet-Olive Salad.
(Serves 6)
4 cups cooked beets, cut in strips
~ cup sliced, stuffed olives
3 tablespoons french dressing
Toss together beets, olives and
french dressing. Serve in lettuce
cups.
It would no longer be practical to
give an elaborate recipe for fruit
cake, so here is one more simple
than I've given in other years. It is
delicious. Pick over fruit carefully,
chop rather than grind it:
•wartime Fruit Cake.
1 cup dried apricots
lJ4 cup sugar
lJ4 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 cup seedless raisins
~ cup candied cherries
~ cup candied orange peel
~ cup candied citron
~ cup blanched almonds
Yz teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups flour
~ teaspoon salt
Boil apricots 1 minute, drain, then
slice. Cream sugar with shortening,
add eggs beaten until light and
thick, then combine with fruit and
almonds.
Slice cherries, orange
peel, and citron before measuring.
Add flour sifted with salt and beat
thoroughly. Pour into small, greased
oven glass dish, cover with glass
top and bake 114 hours in a slow
oven, 275 degrees.

Question: Our house has been neglected for some time and the foundation seems to be crumbling. Rubbing against the c~llar wall makes
the cement break off like sand, and
water ;;eeps in after heavy rains.
What can be done to stop this condition?
A;1swer: If the concrete is very
sa;1dy and porous there is little that
can be done, especially if it is sandy
for its entire thickness. However,
it may help to coat the outside of
the foundation walls down to the

and paint the inside of the walls
with a cement base paint obtained

when needed at crop sceJi1 g time
next spring, was told in a sta~ •r·cn!
made public here today by the Mld
dle West Soil Improvement Comrrit
tee.
"The necessity for prompt action
in making arranciements for ff&gt;rti
lizer is due to a number of war
time causes," the statement points
out.
"For example, labor shor~.1ges in
factories make it impossih.e fur the
fertiliter industry to mm e •t" product in at all the usual fash1 m.
"Freight traffic Jams rw'cd by
both railroads and truck lines are
growing more serious d ..u!y.
"Shortages of essential raw materials for fertilizer have already developed. This is especially true of
superphosphate and potash.
"Meanwhile, added requirements
of lend-lease shipments are reducing fertilizer supplies available to
American farmers.
"In the face of all these difficulties, the fertilizer industry in the
Midwest, as elsewhere, is domg its
utmost to provide for the essential
needs of every farmer_
"By ordering fertilizer early and
taking delivery when the production
and shipping schedules of the factories permit, farmers can be assured of plant food in time for their
next crop season __ The fertili;cr cnn

CHAPTER VII
Far off, in what he knew now was
south, Lew picked out the first column of his scattered herd. Two oth·
ers were separated from it by perhaps three miles. On behind them he
found the white tops of the wagons.
But as he moved his gaze on slowly
around the sharp horizon there was
no sign of water nor the double
butte to set him on his course. His
moment's gratefulness sank to a
heavy dread. They had come too
far from the last watered camp.
The cattle couldn't go on. Another
day would bring its killing heat, for
clouds that followed a dust storm
never held long.
He was staring east; he gave his
head a sudden jerk to clear it. He
wiped one hand across his swollen
eyes. They weren't tricking him.
As if from the grass roots smoke
twisted upward over there. It rose
and shaped a pillar, broke and rose
and broke again. Willy Nickle . . .
sending up his talk!
He spurred his tired horse south.
Halfway toward the scattered columns he drew his gun again and
fired it. He pulled his horse around
into short fast circles.
They heard his shots that time
and saw his signal. Little figures of
men started out toward him. He
rode on and met John Quarternight
first. The old man's beard was muddy white, his ey~s puffed almost
closed.
"Boy," he said, "we got here.
Wherever that be. There's someone's camp, though, yonder."
"Willy Nickle, I think," Lew said.
"I'm going to look. I'll leave you to
gather up."
The creek was still two miles off,
and before he reached it the smoke
ended. Riding into a little grove
of trees, he found only the embers,
no sign of Willy Nickle at first, until he saw the forked stick. It had
been thrust into the ground with one
prong like a thumb pointing downstream. He followed in the stick's
direction.
Sheltered from wind and rain, a
snug retreat, Willy Nickle sat, cont entedly smoking his black clay pipe.
He threw up his left hand in a silent
salute and dropped it. His gentle
face was brown and smooth from a
rece1.t shave.
Lew grinned and shifted over into
one stirrup, halting. "Well," he
said, "we had a wind."
Willy nodded. "So you did."
"I guess," Lew said, "we clean
missed the double butte. Came too
far north maybe. But here's a river."
"South branch of the Pease," said
Willy. He took the cherry pipestem from his mouth and pointed
with it. "If a man heads out of
here quarterin' east of north he'll
hit a creek of the Red. He'll follow
that to the Red herself, ten miles
above Doan's store. Two days, maybe, if his men have made it."

came over him. He leaned forward
a little, confiding, "Burnet, you stay
clear. You've got a lot to learn,
some things you don't want to know.
And you've got a lot to lose." His
eyes moved again.
Footsteps crackled in the dry
leaves, and then Joy called gayly,
"Lew! Come and look!"
She passed beyond them looking
pleased, with something bundled in
her arms. She was barelegged and
her long hair, washed and dried,
was soft around her head.
Splann's eyes follo71ed her through
the trees. Then they came back
with a knowing shrewdness. "You
take my advice and you'll get your
pay. One thing about you ain't hard

horse toward the picketed mounts.

THE Star! Matthew calmly records the appearance of this
marvelous heavenly portent as a historical fact. For 1900 years many
millions have believed that the majestic and unimaginably beautiful
herald of the Messiah actually
shone over Bethlehem, casting a
beam of effulgent glory on that stable "where the young child was."
It has seemed entirely fitting that
the birthplace of Christ should be
pointed out in so magnificent a manner. Few laymen ever thought of
questioning the reality of that star,
although nothing like it ever was
known before or after the momentous event. But astronomers, being
exact scientists, have tried to reconcile the evangelist's words with the
known facts on the nature and motlonc; of hea\·cnly br li -c; Th ~ other
three Gospels, by tne way, do not
mention the star.
Au u~~ ~7th ~'- .tury, Jo!~ .u.rH~ Kef."'
lt!r, one of the greatest of the early
a, tronomers, while calculating the
orhits ot the planets Jupiter, Saturn
and Mars, extended his figures back
to the time of Christ. He discovered
that these three planets were in conjunction in the year 7 B. C., according to the calendar. Making allowance for the well known error
in dating the year of Christ's birth,
it was possible to call the year 7
of our era as actually the year in
which Christ was born. Now if, as
Kepler calculated, the three planets
were very close together in that
year, they would form a brilliant
glow in the sky, during the month
of December. So, Kepler reasoned,
the conjunction of these planets was
the Star of Bethlehem.
In Sign of Pisces.
This conjunction appears in the
sign of Pisces, or the Fishes, every
BOO years. Since the sign of Pisces
had a special meaning to the Jews,
it was entirely logical for the Magi
to interpret an apparently new star
within this sign as the long awaited

messenger from heaven, and to start appears from sight. Seldom do they

makes it eligible for an Oscar this
year. Ginger plays a war bride who
takes a job in a plane factory while
her soldier husband is at the battlefront.
A radio counterpart of filmdom ' s
Academy Awards is broadcasting's
newest wrinkle. Titled the "Radio

of Variety magazine selecting the
topnotch acts from screen, stage, radio and the concert halls of the world
for presentation during that time.

The management of Washington,
D. C.'s Constitution Hall is r egarding Alec Templeton with something
akin to awe. The CBS "Carnival"
star broke all existing box-office records when he appeared there in concert. It was th e first sell-out engagement in seven years, and the
first t ime an artist has been asked
to return in the same season.
Dinah Shore's picture career,
coming hard on the heels of her
sensational success in radio, is moving so fast that her films can't keep
up with her. Her first, "Thanlt Your
Lucky Stars," is now showing
throughout the country, her second
will be released in February, just
as she's starting her fourth-meanwhile her popularity on the air increases daily.

Don Ameche maintains that even
standing in line may prove to be
lucky for the standee. He was standing in a theater-ticket line in 1928
in Madison, Wis. The stock company's star met with an accident,
the manager recognized Don-and
put him into the role.

It looks as if "No Time for Love"
is going to be remembered along
with the other delightful comedies
that people laugh over years after
they've seen them. And the heroine
of those films is likely to be e ither
Jean Arthur or Claudet te Colbert.
This time it's Claudette, playing a
photographer for a smart fash ion
magazine, falling in love with a
husky lad (Fred MacMurray) who's
a sand hog.

first important straight dramatic
role in 10 yeoars in Samuel Goldwyn's "The North Star." Though
she's made 30 pictures since her
screen debut, and starred in most
of them, she had to pass a strict
test, ilien another one, before she
was given her role; she's played in
so many comedies that Goldwyn
wasn't sure she could do it.

If you've ever noticed the top ot
a Marine Officer's visor cap,
you've seen on it something you
won't find on any other cap worn
in Uncle Sam's service-a neat
"X" of looped braid.
There's a story back of that
braided "X", and i t goes back
more than 150 years, to a time
shortly after the U. S. Marines
were first organized.
In those days of sailing ships,
naval battles often ended in close
hand-to-hand fightin,;, as the crew
of one ship tried to board the other-and Marines, of course, were
in the thick of the fight. Some were
in the boarding party, and some
were posted in the rigging to fire
down on the enemy. It was because of those men firing from
high on the masts that Marine officers-whose uniforms from above
resembled the enemy's - fixed
"X'S" on their hats.
In other words, that braid meant
to the Marines in the rigging, "X
marks the spot-not to shoot at!"
Since those days, th e "X" on the
cap has become a standard part
of the Marines' uniform. Another
piece of "standard equipment"
you'll notice among Marines these
days-whe ther they're wearing
dress uniform or combat dungarees-is the American cigarettes
they carry with them wherever
they go. In all those news pictures
you've seen of Uncle Sam's fighting men, snapped as they are relaxing while "off duty," you'll find
that in most cases they will be
smoking a cigarette. And what
brand do they prefer? Well, actual
sales records show that the favorite w ith men in the Marines-as
in the Navy-is Camel. Likewise,
according to the sales records,
Camels are first choice with men
in the Army.
F ighting men who have come
back from jungles, deserts, and
mountains-wherever Uncle Sam's
foroes are stationed - give one
pretty good reason for this choice.
They say that Camels stay fresh
-that out in t he jungles of Guadalcanal, for instance, the Camels
they get are actually just as freshtasting and full-flavored as the
ones they used to get back heme.
Of course, the millions of men
in training camps here at home
want their cigarettes just as much
as soldiers. Your dealer now has
Camels in special Christmas cartons, gay and colorful-and he
will be glad to wrap them for you
for mailing.-Adv.

~;£~·-:
Traditional holiday cookies and
puddings can still appear in t_hls
year's celebrations. Make them slmpl~r by using recipes in today's column.
Eyes bright and shining, hearts
full of the Christmas spirit and wondrous expectation
-you're not going to disappoint
these even this
holiday season!
There are many
foods to please
during holiday
time and in former years our only worry was to
have the time to
make all the puddings and cakes
we wanted. Now, we have not only
the time ele m ent to consider, but
also the problem of rationed goods,
prices, and time, too. For these
teasons today's recipes have been
designed to fit all these requirements. Look them over, homemakers, and you'll find they quite fill the
bill:
Christmas Pudding.

Lynn Says
The Score Card: Crop estimates jumped on white potatoes
making more available for civilian use. You are urged to buy
them by bushel instead of by the
pound .
Watch for changes in point and
price values. They are an indication of how you can guide your
food budget. Figs have gone up
in price, grapes down. Prunes
and raisins are back on the ration
li;:;t because there are no longer
large stocks of these available.
Crabmeat is up in price as are
some of the cheeses.
Guide your use of milk carefully as your dealer is now rationed. This is being tried because it would be diffic ult to ration milk to the consumer by
points.
SaYe every bit of fat that you
ca n a nd turn it in to your butcher. A ta blespoon a da y will help
to bring your boy back sooner.

EW YORK.-In the drum beat
of bombs exploding on Berlin,
Dr. Jan Ma arten de Moor, newly
appointed Dutch representative on
the United
Wants Extradition N a t i o n s
Of War Criminal5 Commission
for InvestlCondition oF Peace gat i 0 n 0 f
War Crimes, states : "The favorable
trend in the war situation makes
it more imperative for the commission to start functioning properly."
In ot.her words, Hitler and his pals
may expect a summons any day
now.
The sturdy 47-year-old Dutch·
man is determined that one mis·
take made after the last war will
not be repeated. The extradition of war criminals must be
made a condition of surrender
now. The commission, he believes, must work through the
national courts of the Allied nations.
Dr. De Moor escaped to England
immediately after the German invasion of the low countries. In Lon·
don he has served as president of
the Netherlands Navigation counc il
and also of the Netherlands Maritime court. A sound experience in
law fits him for these responsibilities.
After receiving his degree
from the Municipal University of
Amsterdam in 1918, he went on to
become Doctor of Political Science
in 1923. In 1928 he was appointed
judge of the Almelo court; in 1934,
judge of the Rotterdam high cou.rt;
and then in 1939 he was elected v1c~
president of the Netherlands Law
society.
He is Rotterdam-born, which must
make his appointment to the War
Crimes Investigation group grimly
satisfying.

STORAGE IN A BARN

Name .............................. .

Address ............................ .

Question: Do you think an oilstove, oil range, rugs and furniture
could be stored in a well-cared-for
barn without any harm coming to
them? Should anything be done beside covering the things with heavy
quilts?
Answer: A barn is not the best
place in which to store furniture.
But if it is the only available place,
put the furniture, etc., high off the
floor, preferably in the hayloft, if
there is one. Wax the wood parts
of the furniture, and cover well to
protect it from dust. The unpainted
parts of the stove and heater should
be given a coat ing of light oil to retard rusting. Rugs should be
cleaned, well sprinkled with antimoth preparations and tightly sealed
in strong paper.

CONGRESS:
Surplus Funds
Government agencies with unspent appropriations would have to
turn their surpluses over to the U. S.
treasury under an amendment
adopted by the U. S. senate.
Sponsored by Sen. Kenneth McKeller (Tenn.) the amendment was
part of a $308,000,000 deficiency appropriations bill ~ater sent to a joint
senate-house committee for settlement of differences between the two
congressional branches.
The amendment was
aimed against the budget bureau,
which recently took control over
$13,000,000,000 saved by the army out
of its $71,000,000,000 appropriation.
The amendment also prohibited the
army from transferring 10 per cent
of appropriations to other funds.
Said Senator McKeller: "
.
We (congress) don't want to surrender our power to appropriate and
designate the purpose for which .
money shall be spent."

LABOR:
Open Steel Parley
With the United States Steel company leading the way, more than 150
5teel producers agreed to enter into
wage negotiations with the CIO, representing 500,000 workers ln the industry.
Employing 166,000 workers, the
United States Steel company is the
nation's greatest producer, operatlng through five subsidiaries which
turned out 21,064,000 tons last year.
CIO demands a 17 cents an hour
pay boost to offset rises in living
costs which have allegedly increased
Z3 per cent since January, 1941,
while wage raises have been limited
to 15 per cent. Present hiring rates
are 78 cents an hour.
In the meantime, the independent
union of the National Steel company
asked a minimum wage of $1 an
hour for 20,000 employees, who
thrice previously had been granted
wage increases while CIO and other
steel producers haggled over terms.

Senate Votes Boost
An eight cents an hour raise for
1,100,000 non-operating rail workers
was approved by the senate by a
vote of 74 to 4 and sent on to the
house for consideration.
Composed of clerks, machinists,
and cleaners, the unions originally
asked for a 20 cent increase. A special board appointed by the President recommended an over-all eight
cent raise, but Economic Stabilizer
Vinson opposed it, proposing a substitute plan embracing a sliding
scale ranging from four to ten cents
more per hour. This latter schedule
would cost the railroads 18 million
dollars a year less than the flat eight
cent raise.
Opposition to the raise in congress
was based on the anti-inflation policy
of the administration, Vinson stating
that in his opinion, the eight cent
increase is a violation of the "Little
Steel" formula, limiting wage increases to 15 per cent over January,
1941, levels.
· Sen. Clyde Reed (Kan.) said
that if the senate rejected the plan
the workers would set a strike date,
and then the government would have
to seize the railroads "within four
or five weeks."

With Old Glory fluttering over the
Gilbert islands, the U. S. navy went
to work on the Marshalls, lying to
the west along our communications

threat to our forces.
As U. S. airmen softened up the
Marshalls, the country was saddened
by the navy's announcement that one
of its No. 1 aces, Lieut. Comdr.
Edward O'Hare. was missing in
action. During the battle of the
Coral sea, O'Hare singly covered an
aircraft carrier menaced by a Jap

enemy planes.

Battleship Wisconsin
As more than 30,000 cheered, the
navy's 52,600 ton super-battleship,
Wisconsin, was launched at Philadelphia, Pa.
In the making for 33 months, the
Wisconsin cost $90,000,000. With a
speed of 33 knots, the huge warhorse will pack nine 16-inch guns,
and carry as many antiaircraft
fighters in an area less than onetenth the size of an average city
block as an entire antiaircraft regiment.
With a bow towering higher than
a five-story building, the Wisconsin
is one of the navy's three superbattleships, the others being the New
Jersey and the Iowa.

ITALY:
Overlook Rome Road
Having fought their way to the
crest of mountain ridges overlooking
the road to Rome, doughboys from
Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth army
slowly pushed down the slopes
toward the flatlands around the enemy's key bastion of Cassino.
But in this sector, as well as the
British sector along the Adriatic
coast to thP. east, the Nazis bitterly
counter-attacked, throwing in strong
armored forces against Gen. Bernard Montgomery's men in an effort to slow his march toward the
important center of Pescara, with
its highway leading eastward to
Rome.
As General Clark's doughboys
edged forward, they left scattered
points of resistance behind them,
necessitating further action to remove these hot-beds and secure their
lines. Continuing action, the Allies'
air force pounded Nazi supply depots above Rome, which were being used to stock the enemy in his
winter line.

opposition to King

Complaint of Socrates

Here Is a complaint about etiquette that should interest every
parent:

now tyrants, not the servants of
their households. They no longer

They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble' up
dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and t:rrannize over their
teachers."

With approximatell75% of the weight of

air power is vitally dependent upon accelerated production of this essential metal.
And ever-increasing production of aluminum is dependenc upon a plentiful supply
of Electric Power.

the ore, is convened by eleccroly~s tnto
metallic aluminum pigs ar reduction planes
and sent ro rolling mills in this territory.
Here it rakes huge eleccric furnaces co

THE Star! Matthew calmly records the appearance of this&#13;
marvelous heavenly portent as a historical fact. For 1900 years many&#13;
millions have believed that the majestic and unimaginably beautiful&#13;
herald of the Messiah actually&#13;
shone over Bethlehem, casting a&#13;
beam of effulgent glory on that stable "where the young child was."&#13;
It has seemed entirely fitting that&#13;
the birthplace of Christ should be&#13;
pointed out in so magnificent a manner. Few laymen ever thought of&#13;
questioning the reality of that star,&#13;
although nothing like it ever was&#13;
known before or after the momentous event. But astronomers, being&#13;
exact scientists, have tried to reconcile the evangelist's words with the&#13;
known facts on the nature and motlonc; of hea\·cnly br li -c; Th ~ other&#13;
three Gospels, by tne way, do not&#13;
mention the star.&#13;
Au u~~ ~7th ~'- .tury, Jo!~ .u.rH~ Kef."'&#13;
lt!r, one of the greatest of the early&#13;
a, tronomers, while calculating the&#13;
orhits ot the planets Jupiter, Saturn&#13;
and Mars, extended his figures back&#13;
to the time of Christ. He discovered&#13;
that these three planets were in conjunction in the year 7 B. C., according to the calendar. Making allowance for the well known error&#13;
in dating the year of Christ's birth,&#13;
it was possible to call the year 7&#13;
of our era as actually the year in&#13;
which Christ was born. Now if, as&#13;
Kepler calculated, the three planets&#13;
were very close together in that&#13;
year, they would form a brilliant&#13;
glow in the sky, during the month&#13;
of December. So, Kepler reasoned,&#13;
the conjunction of these planets was&#13;
the Star of Bethlehem.&#13;
In Sign of Pisces.&#13;
This conjunction appears in the&#13;
sign of Pisces, or the Fishes, every&#13;
BOO years. Since the sign of Pisces&#13;
had a special meaning to the Jews,&#13;
it was entirely logical for the Magi&#13;
to interpret an apparently new star&#13;
within this sign as the long awaited&#13;
&#13;
messenger from heaven, and to start appears from sight. Seldom do they&#13;
last more than a few days.&#13;
on the long journey.&#13;
So if a nova of extraordinary brilKepler's theory satisfied pretty&#13;

If you've ever noticed the top ot&#13;
a Marine Officer's visor cap,&#13;
you've seen on it something you&#13;
won't find on any other cap worn&#13;
in Uncle Sam's service-a neat&#13;
"X" of looped braid.&#13;
There's a story back of that&#13;
braided "X", and i t goes back&#13;
more than 150 years, to a time&#13;
shortly after the U. S. Marines&#13;
were first organized.&#13;
In those days of sailing ships,&#13;
naval battles often ended in close&#13;
hand-to-hand fightin,;, as the crew&#13;
of one ship tried to board the other-and Marines, of course, were&#13;
in the thick of the fight. Some were&#13;
in the boarding party, and some&#13;
were posted in the rigging to fire&#13;
down on the enemy. It was because of those men firing from&#13;
high on the masts that Marine officers-whose uniforms from above&#13;
resembled the enemy's - fixed&#13;
"X'S" on their hats.&#13;
In other words, that braid meant&#13;
to the Marines in the rigging, "X&#13;
marks the spot-not to shoot at!"&#13;
Since those days, th e "X" on the&#13;
cap has become a standard part&#13;
of the Marines' uniform. Another&#13;
piece of "standard equipment"&#13;
you'll notice among Marines these&#13;
days-whe ther they're wearing&#13;
dress uniform or combat dungarees-is the American cigarettes&#13;
they carry with them wherever&#13;
they go. In all those news pictures&#13;
you've seen of Uncle Sam's fighting men, snapped as they are relaxing while "off duty," you'll find&#13;
that in most cases they will be&#13;
smoking a cigarette. And what&#13;
brand do they prefer? Well, actual&#13;
sales records show that the favorite w ith men in the Marines-as&#13;
in the Navy-is Camel. Likewise,&#13;
according to the sales records,&#13;
Camels are first choice with men&#13;
in the Army.&#13;
F ighting men who have come&#13;
back from jungles, deserts, and&#13;
mountains-wherever Uncle Sam's&#13;
foroes are stationed - give one&#13;
pretty good reason for this choice.&#13;
They say that Camels stay fresh&#13;
-that out in t he jungles of Guadalcanal, for instance, the Camels&#13;
they get are actually just as freshtasting and full-flavored as the&#13;
ones they used to get back heme.&#13;
Of course, the millions of men&#13;
in training camps here at home&#13;
want their cigarettes just as much&#13;
as soldiers. Your dealer now has&#13;
Camels in special Christmas cartons, gay and colorful-and he&#13;
will be glad to wrap them for you&#13;

The Score Card: Crop estimates jumped on white potatoes&#13;
making more available for civilian use. You are urged to buy&#13;
them by bushel instead of by the&#13;
pound .&#13;
Watch for changes in point and&#13;
price values. They are an indication of how you can guide your&#13;
food budget. Figs have gone up&#13;
in price, grapes down. Prunes&#13;
and raisins are back on the ration&#13;
li;:;t because there are no longer&#13;
large stocks of these available.&#13;
Crabmeat is up in price as are&#13;
some of the cheeses.&#13;
Guide your use of milk carefully as your dealer is now rationed. This is being tried because it would be diffic ult to ration milk to the consumer by&#13;
points.&#13;

EW YORK.-In the drum beat&#13;
of bombs exploding on Berlin,&#13;
Dr. Jan Ma arten de Moor, newly&#13;
appointed Dutch representative on&#13;
the United&#13;
Wants Extradition N a t i o n s&#13;
Of War Criminal5 Commission&#13;
for InvestlCondition oF Peace gat i 0 n 0 f&#13;
War Crimes, states : "The favorable&#13;
trend in the war situation makes&#13;
it more imperative for the commission to start functioning properly."&#13;
In ot.her words, Hitler and his pals&#13;
may expect a summons any day&#13;
now.&#13;
The sturdy 47-year-old Dutch·&#13;
man is determined that one mis·&#13;
take made after the last war will&#13;
not be repeated. The extradition of war criminals must be&#13;
made a condition of surrender&#13;
now. The commission, he believes, must work through the&#13;
national courts of the Allied nations.&#13;
Dr. De Moor escaped to England&#13;
immediately after the German invasion of the low countries. In Lon·&#13;
don he has served as president of&#13;
the Netherlands Navigation counc il&#13;
and also of the Netherlands Maritime court. A sound experience in&#13;
law fits him for these responsibilities.&#13;
After receiving his degree&#13;
from the Municipal University of&#13;
Amsterdam in 1918, he went on to&#13;
become Doctor of Political Science&#13;
in 1923. In 1928 he was appointed&#13;
judge of the Almelo court; in 1934,&#13;
judge of the Rotterdam high cou.rt;&#13;
and then in 1939 he was elected v1c~&#13;
president of the Netherlands Law&#13;
society.&#13;
He is Rotterdam-born, which must&#13;
make his appointment to the War&#13;
Crimes Investigation group grimly&#13;
satisfying.&#13;

STORAGE IN A BARN&#13;
&#13;
Name .............................. .&#13;
&#13;
Address ............................ .&#13;
&#13;
Question: Do you think an oilstove, oil range, rugs and furniture&#13;
could be stored in a well-cared-for&#13;
barn without any harm coming to&#13;
them? Should anything be done beside covering the things with heavy&#13;
quilts?&#13;
Answer: A barn is not the best&#13;
place in which to store furniture.&#13;
But if it is the only available place,&#13;
put the furniture, etc., high off the&#13;
floor, preferably in the hayloft, if&#13;
there is one. Wax the wood parts&#13;
of the furniture, and cover well to&#13;
protect it from dust. The unpainted&#13;
parts of the stove and heater should&#13;
be given a coat ing of light oil to retard rusting. Rugs should be&#13;
cleaned, well sprinkled with antimoth preparations and tightly sealed&#13;
in strong paper.&#13;

CONGRESS:&#13;
Surplus Funds&#13;
Government agencies with unspent appropriations would have to&#13;
turn their surpluses over to the U. S.&#13;
treasury under an amendment&#13;
adopted by the U. S. senate.&#13;
Sponsored by Sen. Kenneth McKeller (Tenn.) the amendment was&#13;
part of a $308,000,000 deficiency appropriations bill ~ater sent to a joint&#13;
senate-house committee for settlement of differences between the two&#13;
congressional branches.&#13;
The amendment was&#13;
aimed against the budget bureau,&#13;
which recently took control over&#13;
$13,000,000,000 saved by the army out&#13;
of its $71,000,000,000 appropriation.&#13;
The amendment also prohibited the&#13;
army from transferring 10 per cent&#13;
of appropriations to other funds.&#13;
Said Senator McKeller: "&#13;
.&#13;
We (congress) don't want to surrender our power to appropriate and&#13;
designate the purpose for which .&#13;
money shall be spent."&#13;
&#13;
LABOR:&#13;
Open Steel Parley&#13;
With the United States Steel company leading the way, more than 150&#13;
5teel producers agreed to enter into&#13;
wage negotiations with the CIO, representing 500,000 workers ln the industry.&#13;
Employing 166,000 workers, the&#13;
United States Steel company is the&#13;
nation's greatest producer, operatlng through five subsidiaries which&#13;
turned out 21,064,000 tons last year.&#13;
CIO demands a 17 cents an hour&#13;
pay boost to offset rises in living&#13;
costs which have allegedly increased&#13;
Z3 per cent since January, 1941,&#13;
while wage raises have been limited&#13;
to 15 per cent. Present hiring rates&#13;
are 78 cents an hour.&#13;
In the meantime, the independent&#13;
union of the National Steel company&#13;
asked a minimum wage of $1 an&#13;
hour for 20,000 employees, who&#13;
thrice previously had been granted&#13;
wage increases while CIO and other&#13;
steel producers haggled over terms.&#13;
&#13;
Senate Votes Boost&#13;
An eight cents an hour raise for&#13;
1,100,000 non-operating rail workers&#13;
was approved by the senate by a&#13;
vote of 74 to 4 and sent on to the&#13;
house for consideration.&#13;
Composed of clerks, machinists,&#13;
and cleaners, the unions originally&#13;
asked for a 20 cent increase. A special board appointed by the President recommended an over-all eight&#13;
cent raise, but Economic Stabilizer&#13;
Vinson opposed it, proposing a substitute plan embracing a sliding&#13;
scale ranging from four to ten cents&#13;
more per hour. This latter schedule&#13;
would cost the railroads 18 million&#13;
dollars a year less than the flat eight&#13;
cent raise.&#13;
Opposition to the raise in congress&#13;
was based on the anti-inflation policy&#13;
of the administration, Vinson stating&#13;
that in his opinion, the eight cent&#13;
increase is a violation of the "Little&#13;
Steel" formula, limiting wage increases to 15 per cent over January,&#13;
1941, levels.&#13;
· Sen. Clyde Reed (Kan.) said&#13;
that if the senate rejected the plan&#13;
the workers would set a strike date,&#13;
and then the government would have&#13;
to seize the railroads "within four&#13;
or five weeks."&#13;

Remove Feed Duties&#13;
To encourage additional feed imports for shortage areas, the house&#13;
passed a resolution&#13;
removing duties on&#13;
wheat, corn, oats,&#13;
barley, rye, flax,&#13;
cottonseed and hay&#13;
for a 90-day period.&#13;
Although approved&#13;
by a 255 to 55 vote,&#13;
the resolution was&#13;
bitterly contested by&#13;
many middlewestern&#13;
congressmen,&#13;
spearheaded by Representative Frank&#13;
Carlson (Kan.) who Frank Carlson&#13;
said: ". . . It will&#13;
set a dangerous precedent by removing tariffs. It places the American farmer in competition with&#13;
farmers of every nation of the world&#13;
that produces these crops." Furthermore, they contended the action&#13;
would not increase present imports,&#13;
already hampered by shipping difficulties.&#13;
In advocating passage of the resolution, proponents declared current&#13;
feed shortages are causing a loss&#13;
of millions of pounds of milk and&#13;
poultry production.&#13;
&#13;
With Old Glory fluttering over the&#13;
Gilbert islands, the U. S. navy went&#13;
to work on the Marshalls, lying to&#13;
the west along our communications&#13;
lines to Australasia.&#13;
Talting off from aircraft carriers,&#13;
planes roared over the Marshalls to&#13;
drop explosive!;, while warships hovered 15 miles offshore to pump heavy&#13;
shells into the islands' stron~holds.&#13;
Primarily air bases, the Gilberts&#13;
and Marshalls not only were a thorn&#13;
in the U. S. supply lines, but they&#13;
also flanked anv Allied movement&#13;
toward the South Pacific war thea.&#13;
ter. Their presence osed a Ciouble&#13;
threat to our forces.&#13;
As U. S. airmen softened up the&#13;
Marshalls, the country was saddened&#13;
by the navy's announcement that one&#13;
of its No. 1 aces, Lieut. Comdr.&#13;
Edward O'Hare. was missing in&#13;
action. During the battle of the&#13;
Coral sea, O'Hare singly covered an&#13;
aircraft carrier menaced by a Jap&#13;
aerial squadron, shooting down five&#13;
enemy planes.&#13;
&#13;
Battleship Wisconsin&#13;
As more than 30,000 cheered, the&#13;
navy's 52,600 ton super-battleship,&#13;
Wisconsin, was launched at Philadelphia, Pa.&#13;
In the making for 33 months, the&#13;
Wisconsin cost $90,000,000. With a&#13;
speed of 33 knots, the huge warhorse will pack nine 16-inch guns,&#13;
and carry as many antiaircraft&#13;
fighters in an area less than onetenth the size of an average city&#13;
block as an entire antiaircraft regiment.&#13;
With a bow towering higher than&#13;
a five-story building, the Wisconsin&#13;
is one of the navy's three superbattleships, the others being the New&#13;
Jersey and the Iowa.&#13;
&#13;
ITALY:&#13;
Overlook Rome Road&#13;
Having fought their way to the&#13;
crest of mountain ridges overlooking&#13;
the road to Rome, doughboys from&#13;
Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth army&#13;
slowly pushed down the slopes&#13;
toward the flatlands around the enemy's key bastion of Cassino.&#13;
But in this sector, as well as the&#13;
British sector along the Adriatic&#13;
coast to thP. east, the Nazis bitterly&#13;
counter-attacked, throwing in strong&#13;
armored forces against Gen. Bernard Montgomery's men in an effort to slow his march toward the&#13;
important center of Pescara, with&#13;
its highway leading eastward to&#13;
Rome.&#13;
As General Clark's doughboys&#13;
edged forward, they left scattered&#13;
points of resistance behind them,&#13;
necessitating further action to remove these hot-beds and secure their&#13;
lines. Continuing action, the Allies'&#13;
air force pounded Nazi supply depots above Rome, which were being used to stock the enemy in his&#13;
winter line.&#13;
&#13;
Mihailovitch vs. Broz&#13;
While it was reported that Jucroslavia's Chetnik leader Gen. Dra"'ga&#13;
Mihailovitch&#13;
intended to throw&#13;
his forces against&#13;
his fellow - countryman Gen. Tito&#13;
Broz's Partisan&#13;
guerrillas for setting up a state in&#13;
opposition to King&#13;
Peter's&#13;
government-in-exile, it&#13;
was revealed that&#13;
the British were&#13;
favoring Broz because he allegedMihailovitch&#13;
ly was offering&#13;
greater resistance&#13;
to the Germans.&#13;
Thus did the&#13;
garbled Jugoslav&#13;
situation take a&#13;
new twist. Britain's support of&#13;
the&#13;
communistbacked Broz came&#13;
after its formal&#13;
recognition of&#13;
King Peter's government, but in&#13;
explaining its&#13;
about-face, Britain said its policy&#13;
Broz&#13;
was to let tht&#13;
people of occupied countries select&#13;
their own leadership, and late reports indicated Broz had 300,000 behind him compared with Mihailovitch's 30,000.&#13;

came to Dean's flatboat ferry tied asked, "Has an Open A herd crossed&#13;
up because of the flood. He had here yet?"&#13;
seen no one. He rode on to a point&#13;
A thin hand reached out for the&#13;
that would bring him up behind the&#13;
cartwheels and dropped them into&#13;
store and hid his horse in the willows.&#13;
Noise of the crowd that had gathered here floated off the rim. He&#13;
walked directly up into it, the wild,&#13;
mingled voices of two or three hundred restless men spending their&#13;
time and money in the only two&#13;
ways that Doan's store offered.&#13;
Whoever Doan was he didn't&#13;
now. This place had been here long&#13;
before his first trip up the trail.&#13;
As soon as he walked in, even&#13;
while his eyes caught little at first&#13;
m the dim light, he had a quick&#13;
sense of something wrong. The&#13;
room was not crowded. Trail men&#13;
took their drinks outside. He•saw&#13;
mostly, among the fifteen or twenty&#13;
figures, the blue, yellow-striped uniforms of the army moving across&#13;
the damp clay floor. The talk was&#13;
low; the smells of tobacco and liquor and oiled leather were right.&#13;
Then farther insJde he knew. It&#13;
was the big Swede's jovial voice he&#13;
missed so quickly. Ole Soderlund&#13;
wasn't here. He had counted on&#13;
Ole. They were friends and they&#13;
could talk, and that talk would never&#13;

A man he didn't know was on a&#13;
high stool behind the counter at the&#13;
back of the room. He was small&#13;
and wore a black suit with a white&#13;
shirt, oddly out of place in this&#13;
frontier store. Shrewd eyes in a&#13;
pinched face were watching him&#13;
closely.&#13;
He reached the counter. "Soderlund gone?"&#13;
Only a curt nod answered him.&#13;
"For good?"&#13;
''Who's looking for the Open A?"&#13;
"Sold out."&#13;
He could feel a guarded suspicion an iron cashbox. "Who's looking&#13;
behind the shrewd eyes and he won- for the Open A?"&#13;
dered. Did he look like anything&#13;
"I asked, didn't I?"&#13;
but another trail hand?&#13;
"You did. That's what I want to&#13;

Complaint of Socrates&#13;
Appears Quite Up-to-Date&#13;
The Question•&#13;
Here Is a complaint about etiquette that should interest every&#13;
parent:&#13;
"The children now love iuxury,&#13;
they have bad manners, contempt&#13;
for authority, they show disrespect&#13;
for elders, and Jove chatter in&#13;
place of exQrcise. Children are&#13;
now tyrants, not the servants of&#13;
their households. They no longer&#13;
rise when elders enter the room.&#13;
They contradict their parents,&#13;
chatter before company, gobble' up&#13;
dainties at the table, cross their&#13;
legs, and t:rrannize over their&#13;
teachers."&#13;

THE Star! Matthew calmly records the appearance of this
marvelous heavenly portent as a historical fact. For 1900 years many
millions have believed that the majestic and unimaginably beautiful
herald of the Messiah actually
shone over Bethlehem, casting a
beam of effulgent glory on that stable "where the young child was."
It has seemed entirely fitting that
the birthplace of Christ should be
pointed out in so magnificent a manner. Few laymen ever thought of
questioning the reality of that star,
although nothing like it ever was
known before or after the momentous event. But astronomers, being
exact scientists, have tried to reconcile the evangelist's words with the
known facts on the nature and motlonc; of hea\·cnly br li -c; Th ~ other
three Gospels, by tne way, do not
mention the star.

to the time of Christ. He discovered
that these three planets were in conjunction in the year 7 B. C., according to the calendar. Making allowance for the well known error
in dating the year of Christ's birth,
it was possible to call the year 7
of our era as actually the year in
which Christ was born. Now if, as
Kepler calculated, the three planets
were very close together in that
year, they would form a brilliant
glow in the sky, during the month
of December. So, Kepler reasoned,
the conjunction of these planets was
the Star of Bethlehem.
In Sign of Pisces.
This conjunction appears in the
sign of Pisces, or the Fishes, every
BOO years. Since the sign of Pisces
had a special meaning to the Jews,
it was entirely logical for the Magi
to interpret an apparently new star

If you've ever noticed the top ot
a Marine Officer's visor cap,
you've seen on it something you
won't find on any other cap worn
in Uncle Sam's service-a neat
"X" of looped braid.
There's a story back of that
braided "X", and i t goes back
more than 150 years, to a time
shortly after the U. S. Marines
were first organized.
In those days of sailing ships,
naval battles often ended in close
hand-to-hand fightin,;, as the crew
of one ship tried to board the other-and Marines, of course, were
in the thick of the fight. Some were
in the boarding party, and some
were posted in the rigging to fire
down on the enemy. It was because of those men firing from
high on the masts that Marine officers-whose uniforms from above
resembled the enemy's - fixed
"X'S" on their hats.
In other words, that braid meant
to the Marines in the rigging, "X
marks the spot-not to shoot at!"
Since those days, th e "X" on the
cap has become a standard part
of the Marines' uniform. Another
piece of "standard equipment"
you'll notice among Marines these
days-whe ther they're wearing
dress uniform or combat dungarees-is the American cigarettes
they carry with them wherever
they go. In all those news pictures
you've seen of Uncle Sam's fighting men, snapped as they are relaxing while "off duty," you'll find
that in most cases they will be
smoking a cigarette. And what
brand do they prefer? Well, actual
sales records show that the favorite w ith men in the Marines-as
in the Navy-is Camel. Likewise,
according to the sales records,
Camels are first choice with men
in the Army.
F ighting men who have come
back from jungles, deserts, and
mountains-wherever Uncle Sam's
foroes are stationed - give one
pretty good reason for this choice.
They say that Camels stay fresh
-that out in t he jungles of Guadalcanal, for instance, the Camels
they get are actually just as freshtasting and full-flavored as the
ones they used to get back heme.
Of course, the millions of men
in training camps here at home
want their cigarettes just as much
as soldiers. Your dealer now has
Camels in special Christmas cartons, gay and colorful-and he
will be glad to wrap them for you
for mailing.-Adv.

Eyes bright and shining, hearts
full of the Christmas spirit and wondrous expectation
-you're not going to disappoint
these even this

There are many
foods to please
during holiday
time and in former years our only worry was to
have the time to
make all the puddings and cakes
we wanted. Now, we have not only
the time ele m ent to consider, but
also the problem of rationed goods,
prices, and time, too. For these
teasons today's recipes have been
designed to fit all these requirements. Look them over, homemakers, and you'll find they quite fill the
bill:

Lynn Says
The Score Card: Crop estimates jumped on white potatoes
making more available for civilian use. You are urged to buy
them by bushel instead of by the
pound .
Watch for changes in point and
price values. They are an indication of how you can guide your
food budget. Figs have gone up
in price, grapes down. Prunes
and raisins are back on the ration
li;:;t because there are no longer
large stocks of these available.
Crabmeat is up in price as are
some of the cheeses.
Guide your use of milk carefully as your dealer is now rationed. This is being tried because it would be diffic ult to ration milk to the consumer by
points.
SaYe every bit of fat that you
ca n a nd turn it in to your butcher. A ta blespoon a da y will help

EW YORK.-In the drum beat
of bombs exploding on Berlin,
Dr. Jan Ma arten de Moor, newly
appointed Dutch representative on
the United
Wants Extradition N a t i o n s
Of War Criminal5 Commission
for InvestlCondition oF Peace gat i 0 n 0 f
War Crimes, states : "The favorable
trend in the war situation makes
it more imperative for the commission to start functioning properly."
In ot.her words, Hitler and his pals
may expect a summons any day
now.
The sturdy 47-year-old Dutch·
man is determined that one mis·
take made after the last war will
not be repeated. The extradition of war criminals must be
made a condition of surrender
now. The commission, he believes, must work through the
national courts of the Allied nations.
Dr. De Moor escaped to England
immediately after the German invasion of the low countries. In Lon·
don he has served as president of
the Netherlands Navigation counc il
and also of the Netherlands Maritime court. A sound experience in
law fits him for these responsibilities.
After receiving his degree
from the Municipal University of
Amsterdam in 1918, he went on to
become Doctor of Political Science
in 1923. In 1928 he was appointed
judge of the Almelo court; in 1934,
judge of the Rotterdam high cou.rt;
and then in 1939 he was elected v1c~
president of the Netherlands Law
society.
He is Rotterdam-born, which must
make his appointment to the War
Crimes Investigation group grimly
satisfying.

STORAGE IN A BARN

Name .............................. .

Address ............................ .

Question: Do you think an oilstove, oil range, rugs and furniture
could be stored in a well-cared-for
barn without any harm coming to
them? Should anything be done beside covering the things with heavy
quilts?
Answer: A barn is not the best
place in which to store furniture.
But if it is the only available place,
put the furniture, etc., high off the
floor, preferably in the hayloft, if
there is one. Wax the wood parts
of the furniture, and cover well to
protect it from dust. The unpainted
parts of the stove and heater should
be given a coat ing of light oil to retard rusting. Rugs should be
cleaned, well sprinkled with antimoth preparations and tightly sealed
in strong paper.

Odor of Dampness
Question: Is there any way to get
the smell of dampness out of a
wooden clapboard house? The odor
seems to rise from the cellar, although the cellar seems to be perfectly dry. The house was closed
for three months while we were
away. There was a slight mildew
on the books when we returned;
this was wiped off but the odor persists.

CONGRESS:
Surplus Funds
Government agencies with unspent appropriations would have to
turn their surpluses over to the U. S.
treasury under an amendment
adopted by the U. S. senate.
Sponsored by Sen. Kenneth McKeller (Tenn.) the amendment was
part of a $308,000,000 deficiency appropriations bill ~ater sent to a joint
senate-house committee for settlement of differences between the two
congressional branches.
The amendment was
aimed against the budget bureau,
which recently took control over
$13,000,000,000 saved by the army out
of its $71,000,000,000 appropriation.
The amendment also prohibited the
army from transferring 10 per cent
of appropriations to other funds.
Said Senator McKeller: "
.
We (congress) don't want to surrender our power to appropriate and
designate the purpose for which .
money shall be spent."

LABOR:
Open Steel Parley
With the United States Steel company leading the way, more than 150
5teel producers agreed to enter into
wage negotiations with the CIO, representing 500,000 workers ln the industry.
Employing 166,000 workers, the
United States Steel company is the
nation's greatest producer, operatlng through five subsidiaries which
turned out 21,064,000 tons last year.
CIO demands a 17 cents an hour
pay boost to offset rises in living
costs which have allegedly increased
Z3 per cent since January, 1941,
while wage raises have been limited
to 15 per cent. Present hiring rates
are 78 cents an hour.
In the meantime, the independent
union of the National Steel company
asked a minimum wage of $1 an
hour for 20,000 employees, who
thrice previously had been granted
wage increases while CIO and other
steel producers haggled over terms.

Senate Votes Boost
An eight cents an hour raise for
1,100,000 non-operating rail workers
was approved by the senate by a
vote of 74 to 4 and sent on to the
house for consideration.
Composed of clerks, machinists,
and cleaners, the unions originally
asked for a 20 cent increase. A special board appointed by the President recommended an over-all eight
cent raise, but Economic Stabilizer
Vinson opposed it, proposing a substitute plan embracing a sliding
scale ranging from four to ten cents
more per hour. This latter schedule
would cost the railroads 18 million
dollars a year less than the flat eight
cent raise.
Opposition to the raise in congress
was based on the anti-inflation policy
of the administration, Vinson stating
that in his opinion, the eight cent
increase is a violation of the "Little
Steel" formula, limiting wage increases to 15 per cent over January,
1941, levels.
· Sen. Clyde Reed (Kan.) said
that if the senate rejected the plan
the workers would set a strike date,
and then the government would have
to seize the railroads "within four
or five weeks."

Remove Feed Duties
To encourage additional feed imports for shortage areas, the house
passed a resolution
removing duties on
wheat, corn, oats,
barley, rye, flax,
cottonseed and hay
for a 90-day period.
Although approved
by a 255 to 55 vote,
the resolution was
bitterly contested by
many middlewestern
congressmen,
spearheaded by Representative Frank
Carlson (Kan.) who Frank Carlson
said: ". . . It will
set a dangerous precedent by removing tariffs. It places the American farmer in competition with
farmers of every nation of the world
that produces these crops." Furthermore, they contended the action
would not increase present imports,
already hampered by shipping difficulties.
In advocating passage of the resolution, proponents declared current
feed shortages are causing a loss
of millions of pounds of milk and
poultry production.

With Old Glory fluttering over the
Gilbert islands, the U. S. navy went
to work on the Marshalls, lying to
the west along our communications

shells into the islands' stron~holds.

ter. Their presence osed a Ciouble
threat to our forces.
As U. S. airmen softened up the
Marshalls, the country was saddened
by the navy's announcement that one
of its No. 1 aces, Lieut. Comdr.
Edward O'Hare. was missing in
action. During the battle of the
Coral sea, O'Hare singly covered an
aircraft carrier menaced by a Jap
aerial squadron, shooting down five
enemy planes.

Battleship Wisconsin
As more than 30,000 cheered, the
navy's 52,600 ton super-battleship,
Wisconsin, was launched at Philadelphia, Pa.
In the making for 33 months, the
Wisconsin cost $90,000,000. With a
speed of 33 knots, the huge warhorse will pack nine 16-inch guns,
and carry as many antiaircraft
fighters in an area less than onetenth the size of an average city
block as an entire antiaircraft regiment.
With a bow towering higher than
a five-story building, the Wisconsin
is one of the navy's three superbattleships, the others being the New
Jersey and the Iowa.

ITALY:
Overlook Rome Road
Having fought their way to the
crest of mountain ridges overlooking
the road to Rome, doughboys from
Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth army
slowly pushed down the slopes
toward the flatlands around the enemy's key bastion of Cassino.
But in this sector, as well as the
British sector along the Adriatic
coast to thP. east, the Nazis bitterly
counter-attacked, throwing in strong
armored forces against Gen. Bernard Montgomery's men in an effort to slow his march toward the
important center of Pescara, with
its highway leading eastward to
Rome.
As General Clark's doughboys
edged forward, they left scattered
points of resistance behind them,
necessitating further action to remove these hot-beds and secure their
lines. Continuing action, the Allies'
air force pounded Nazi supply depots above Rome, which were being used to stock the enemy in his
winter line.

opposition to King

after its formal

Complaint of Socrates
Appears Quite Up-to-Date
The Question•
Here Is a complaint about etiquette that should interest every
parent:
"The children now love iuxury,
they have bad manners, contempt
for authority, they show disrespect
for elders, and Jove chatter in
place of exQrcise. Children are
now tyrants, not the servants of
their households. They no longer
rise when elders enter the room.
They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble' up
dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and t:rrannize over their
teachers."
The Greek pbilosophet· Socrates
registered the complaint over
2,000 years ago. We parerots mi~ht
as well resign ourselves.

RUSSIA:
Drive in North

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Jap Defensive Positions in Pacific
Crumble Under New Allied Invasion;
Senate Studies Revised Tax Measure;
Government Acts to Halt Rail Tie· Up

While Russian and eel'tnan troops
slugged at each other in the central
and southern sectors, the Nazis reported 100,000 Reds attacked to the
north, in what they said was a preliminary move to a major winter
drive for the Baltic sea.
By driving to the Baltic, the Reds
would split the Germans' northern
armies from those of the south. and
also give them a base from which
to attack enemy shipping making use
of the sea to supply its armies in
the area.
In the Ukraine, both sides gave
ground grudgingly under heavy
blcws. The Nazis pressed forward
toward picturesque and domed
KiP.V, while the Reds pounded out
gains, farther to the south in the
Dnieper bend.

TRANSPORTATION:

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
New Landing
One day after U. S. bombers had
dumped 350 tons of explosives on
Arawe on New Britain island, U. S.
warships moved shoreward to the
enemy base and pumped big shells
into the defenses, even as planes
returned to assist in the bombard·
ment.
After this terrific crescendo, U. S.
doughboys swarmed ashore to establish a beachhead on this "trategic island, center of Japanese shipping for supplying its embattled
forces on New Guinea and Bougainville.
By landing on Arawe, U. S. forces
drove a wedge into Jap positions on
Cape Gloucester to the west and
Gasmata to the east, where the enemy has established airfields to help
cover the barge operations with
which he feeds supplies to his troops
ih this area by traveling along the
jungle shorelines by night.
While the U. S. stormed Arawe,
heavy bombers continued to smack
the Marshalls, small Jap island holdings in the central Pacific.

RAILROADS:
Strike Called

ITALY:
Action in Air
Connecting link between Germany
and Italy, Europe's historic Brenner pass was pounded by waves of
I U. S. bombers, seeking to disrl!pt
the rail lines feeding Nazi arm1es
to the south.
By striking at the pass, the bombers countered a successful Nazi air
raid on the southeastern Italian port
of Bari, in which 30 German planes
whizzed in at low level and sank
17 Allied cargo vessels lying at anchor in the harbor.
. .
On the ground, U. S. and Br1tJsh
troops clambered forward over
mountainous country toward Rome
in sleety weather. Fighting bitterly
from strong defenses in the hills,
and throwing armored for~ations
into action on the level plams, the
Nazis succeeded in slowing Allied
advances.

CONGRESS:
Tax Bill
Tacking on an additional 144 million dollars, the senate finance committee approved a
new 2 billion, 284
million dollar tax
bill which, if passed
by congress, will
boost U. S. revenues to 43 billion
dollars yearly.
Written under Sen.
Walter George's
chairmanship, the
senate bill requires
payment of the 3
per cent Victory tax
Sen. George
by everybody with
income over $~'24 a year, and raises
levies on amusements, travel, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, furs,
luggage, toilet articles and other
luxuries.
Also included in the bill was a
provision requiring labor organizations and farm co-operatives· to file
financial s;ta tements annually.

With 97.7 p.er cent of the operating railroad union members voting
to strike to enforce their demands
for higher wages and with th1l walkout date set for December 30, the
government acted quickly to prevent transportation interruption.
Said spokesmen for the 350,000
trainmen, firemen, enginemen, engineers, conductors and switchmen
who have demanded a 30 per cent
wage increase with a minimum
boost of $3 daily: "It is a strike
against inflation ior the privileged
few and deflation for the many."
To meet the crisis which was provoked by the unions' rejection of an

unwavering determination of this
hardy son of Tennessee that broke
down the barriers of suspicion and

that the three would face the peace

sealed the covenants. It killed once
and for all the controversy over the

this accomplished? By convincing
Russia that it was not the plot of the
capitalistic nations to let her bleed

there-not an attempt to hide his
absence from the enemy.
Already the nervous bulletins, announcing the forbidden truths or the
invented canards as to the whereabouts of the Allied leaders, are forgotten in the more instant interest
in the happenings on the battle fronts
-on the home front.
Washington has had time to ponder on America's new leadership in
world affairs. Perhaps that toast offered by Premier Stalin to A1nerican
war production without which, he
said, the war could not have been
won by the Allies, brought the truth
home. America is emerging out of
this holocaust as the world's greatest power.
And for the first time in history,
the world's greatest power is the
nation whose people are least prepared, least experienced, least anxious for world leadership. There is
a chance that we may let it go by default.
Washington has assayed pretty
well by this time the fruits of the
Moscow conference, the Cairo conference with Chiang Kai-shek attending; the Teheran meeting; the meeting with Turkey's president.

the rear that was like a dark wave
rolling on in front of him.
He had forgotten the storm. If
there had been another thunderclap
it was drowned by the rattling jar
in his ears. A crooked flash close
in front of the longhorns was his
first warning.
Against its white light all of the
widespread herd stood out briefly,
caught in tossing waves, gone too
soon for him to locate any rider.
Someone was close before he
heard the pounding thud of hoofs.
Then the rider was alongside, Jim

He swung back almost as if a
band had gripped his shoulders and
turned him with a sudden violence.
"It's my guard, Lew. I'm going
out. The others needn't come till
they're ready."
"Plenty of time," he said. "Take
it easy." But Clay's huge plunging
gait was carrying him on. He got
up and followed, urged by a quick,
yet unshaped suspicion. "Wait a
minute." He caught up off in the
decreasing light. There was no heat
ln him, only a dull outrage against
this man who had so much and was
using it so badly. He could still
see Joy's look, grave and strange
end sweet, promising all that a
woman could promise, and yet Clay
could go on in his bullheaded secret
way surely toward some kind of
ruin. "There's four men out now,"
he said. Moonlight and Splann had
not come in. "Why are you going,
Clay?"
The answer came in a surly growl.
"There's a storm blowing up. You

He could, but that wasn't it. He
waited, letting his eyes probe
through the dim light and seeing the
ruddy face turn more and more
strained with its controlled temper. He let his words drop quietly.
"Ves. If that was all. What is it?"
"What else do you think?"
"I think you'd better use your

Joe Wheat, A:;h Brownstone 1.md
Charley Storms were the first to
join their cattle in . They rode back.
He saw that Charley hadn't stopped
for his pants but had ridden the
night in his long-legged underwear.
They trailed behind the herd. Farther on, when Quarternight and
Moonlight Bailey a'lgled in from the
river with their str avs, he rode up to
shape the point with Rebel John .
The herd was growing Ahead, Neal
Good waited with a :;mai!Pr bunch.
Four men were still miss1 :1g, Cia}'
and Ed Splann. Steve and Tom Arnold.
The longhorns' run had taken them
far west, and it was not until after
two hours of steady, speechless riding that he saw Owl-Head Jackson's
camp smoke lift from the junction
of the river and its tributary cr&lt;'ek.
He searched along the creek's
growth for the trampled part whP.re
the herd could cross. Something
halted his drifting gaze. He brought
it back. An icy coldness crept ro•, er
his skin.
"John," he said and pointed, "T' d
better go look."
It was a riderless horse. Even
from halt a mile off he knew by the
way the animal was standing, crook·
edly, with a tired patience, that it
had broken a leg. Closer, he saw
the saddle under its belly. Its heod
raised a little as he approached but
dropped" again. He drew his gun
and put the muzzle close behind one
pointed ear and felt sick as he pulled
the trigger.
Dragging tracks led toward the
creek. He followed them, steeled
against a thing he had looked upon
before and yet chilled even by those
memories. His shot had brought two
riders starting out of the dist11nt
river trees near camp. He couldn't
tell who they were. Then suddenly
his horse snorted, spread its legs
and stopped. The trampled swath of
creekbottom willow lay beyond the
low bank. He looked where the ani·
mal's ears pointed and in that first
moment felt no shock. All of his
senses seemed to have gone dead.
In that strangely suspended feeling he turned back, fired his gun in
the air and waved the men on from
the herd. They loped toward him.
When they saw the horse he had
shot no one asked for the rider.
He said, "It's Tom," and saw
their faces, haggard from the night's
work, only set a little more.
The two from camp were closfO
now, Clay and Splann, hurried on b.!
his second shot. It struck him tha~
they didn't look worn ()Ut lik_e thf'
rest of the men. Clay pulled m be ·
side him. "Who is it?"
He jerked a nod toward the
creek. "Over there."
Clay rod~ over and sat there and
took his time about coming back.
AI! expression on his full, ruddy face
was veiled by an oddly smoothedout look . He shook his head.
"Tough. I'll go in, Lew, and tell
Joy."
"No," he said, "not yet."
Clay's huge body straightened up
in th.e saddle. "Why not?" His voice
earned a new power.
"There's no use," he said. "Not
till afterward. We're too far from
civilizatinn to go in for that kind of
a burial. It will have to be here,
right now. Let Joy have some other
memory. Where's Steve?'-'
In a little silence, with his question
unanswered, he knew something
was coming that had been shaped
already in his own mind. But he
hadn't expected it would come so
soon.
Th en Clay said, "Steve's in camp.
I'm going in. This makes a difference, Lew. A big one. You might
as well know that.''
"Not one bit!" He swung his hcrse
over close. "What you're figurir.g
on hasn't happened. You'll take my
orders till it does." An outraged
sense turned him as bitterly hard as
he had ever felt. "What a time you
pick!" He backed off, holding the
hot stare of Clay's blue eyes.
"John," he said, "you come with
me." He flung a last look at Clay.
"The rest of you stay here."
Riding on, out of hearing, Quarternight growled, "There's a hyena for
you!"

BLISTERED PAINT
Question: Please reprint the name
of the paint remover you have mentioned, and how to use it. I wish to
remove some blistered paint.
Answer: Trisodium phosphate,
three pounds dissolved in a gallon
of hot water, makes an excellent
paint remover. This chemical is
sold at grocery stores under various
trade names. It is a coarse white
powder that cleans without making
a lather when dis15olved in water.
There also are commercial paint
removers to be had at paint stores.
A blowtorch sometimes is used for
blistered paint on the outside of a
house. But this should be used only
by someone with experience, because of the fire hazard.

tsh for year-round living. A shredded wood-fibre blanket insulation
was suggested. There is no cellar
under the house, but the space there
is high enough to get under it.
Please advise.
Answer: A one-inch thick insulating blanket in the walls, and a
stud thickness of insulation in the
attic and floor should make the
house quite comfortable-provided,
of course, there is sufficient heat in
the house. It would help greatly to
put storm sash on all windows. Before installing the floor insulation,
coat the underside of floor with
liquid asphalt to keep out dampness.

Old Decanter
Question: I have an old decanter,
the inside of which is spotted (round
spots like sanded glass). These spots
do not show when wet, but come out
when the decanter is dry. I have
tried the sand and shredded newspaper methods of cleaning, but without success. Can you suggel)t anything else?
Answer: The polish on the glass
inside the decanter may have been
worn off by the use of gravel for
cleaning purposes. If so, there is no
way to repolish the surface. As a
'.ast resort, you might try cleaning
with bird shot in hot, soapy water.

Question: Should anything be done

Answer : Wash the outside ot the
hose with mild soap and water, then
rinse with clear water. If you wish,
a rubber preservative can be aPplied to the surface. It is on sale
at many of the large department
stores and some auto accessory
shops. Store the hose in a cool,

Eliminate Wasps
A poison bait can be used to rid
the attic of wasps. Stir a teaspoonful of paris green into a cupful of
syrup or hon~y. After mixing well,
spread the ml:x\ure on small pieces
of bread or heavy paper, and put
the bait where it can easily be found
by the wasps, which will eventually
die of the polson. Be sure the bait
is out of reach of children.
Cluster flies and other small insects can be kept out of homes by
proper precautions in the autumn.
They can squeeze through openings
apparently smaller than their bodies. Stuff cracks around windows
and screens with cotton to prevent
their entrance.
A pyrethrum spray will kill or
stupefy any of these attic insects.
Wet the bodies thoroughly and they
will either die or fall to the floor
where they may be swept up. In
the spring when the insects are anx.Jcus to get out of doors, simply open
the attic windows, but be sure to
close them again before the pests
return in the evening.
Tourists Boom
American tourists are crowding
Mexico buying up everything from
"gin and electrical appliances to
bobby pins and elastics." Mexico is
not feeling the war as acutely as
the United States, as rationing has
not gone into effect there. There is
plenty of everything and although
they appredate the influx of American dollars, Mexicans are getting
annoyed because American tourists
are thronging through the country ,
buying surpluses of goods they can't
get in the United States. Some distributors even claim to have reshipped American-made small elec·
trical appliances again into the
States.
Electrification of many countries
and islands where naval and military bases have been built and which
thus have been expanded considerably, will offer new profitable markets for electrical appliances after
the war. The trend towards industrialization of Mexico, Brazil and
other countries is creating a higher
standard of living. This of course
r~es new markets. -~

Army Repair Shops Busy
Restoring Many Articles
Millions of articles Of army clothing and equipage are being repaired
each month by quartermaster corps
repair shops in all parts of the
world. At present, nearly three million articles are being turned out
monthly by shops in the continental
United States alone.
Quartermaster corps repair shops
handle all articles of clothing and
equipage, inclu~ng such items as
tents, blankets, haversacks, canvas,
'i\"Cbbing and other textile articles,
typewriters and office machines.
Quartermaster shops at approximately 260 posts, camps and stations in the United States are saving the government nearly two million dollars a month through their
repair activities. Overseas quartermaster repair shops are in opera~
tion at numerous bases. These fixed
installations are supplemented by
repair shops on wheels, operating in
theaters of operations where it is
impracticable to set up permanent
establishments.
Articles in excess of the capacity
of overseas repair units are returned
to the United States for repair or
salvage and are handled at newly
established repair sub-depots on the
east artd west coasts.

Rubber Tapping
•
On each side of main straight-up- •
and-dowh incision on rubber trees, •
tributary incisions are cut to bring •
in the latex to the main down-the- •
tree stream, after the manner of
brooks emptying into a river. This •
is known as the herringbone pattern. •
A second phase of the better tapping •
methods coacerns the manner in
which the tal'lper climbs the castil- •
loa tree. In the past tappers often •
have not climbed the trees at all,
thus failing to get much rubber that •
might be obtai.laed from the upper •
trunk.
•
They are now taught to use rope
belts slung around the tree and •
around their seats, as a means of •
hoisting themselves up the trees. ! •
They climb with their bare feet, 1
leaving hands free for knife wield- 1 •
ing. One tapper, using the better •
methods in untapped territory, went
from tree to tree, climbing and tapping each, and collected 111/4 gallons i 8
of latex in two hours. Another, in i
L!ess promising area, got five gal- •
rons in an hour and 40 minutes. 1
This contrasts with about five gal- •
Ions a day expected from a good •
tapper by the old methods.

Controlling Explosives
8
A typical instance of control over
giant explosive forces was the dam- I •
ming of the Saguenay river in Can- •
ada for a hydroelectric project. The I •
torrential rush of the current balked 1
successive attempts to complete a 1
cofferdam, the conventional method.
So the dam was built completely I •
out of the water, standing upright on
end upon one bank of the river. The •
steel and concrete structure towered 1 •
95 feet in height, was 45 feet wide •
and measured 40 feet where it
was to plumb the river at its deep- •
est point.
•
The problem was to drop its huge •
ltl:&gt;ulk into place in the stream. The
margin between success and failure •
was rated in inches. A Du Pont ex- ' •
pert planted 1,000 pounds of a gelatin •
dynamite in just the right spot to
blow away the supports holding the •
dam upright. The entir·e charge ex- •
ploded as a single shot. The tower
toppled o.nd fell. F~\j! seconds after •
the blast, the huge dam rested , •
squarely on the target.

Lynn Says
Money Savers: Cheese will
keep better if it is covered with a
light coating of margarine and
stored in a tightly covered fruit
j ar.
If potatoes are cooked about
5 minutes before baking you can
cut their baking time in about
bali and save fuel costs.
A tablespoon of water added to
the white of an egg before beating will almost double its volume.
Longer beating is required.
If you melt chocolate for cakes
and cookies, add about 114 cup of
sugar from the recipe to the
chocolate which is melted in the
saucepan. It will gather up any
particles of chocolate left in the
pan.

Climb Rocky Road am I doAnd Both Go High ing?" And
he was doing fine. He was as high as any
man could get going that way. The
other son climbed a rocky road, too,
and climbed, but in the opposite directiuTJ; and after a while he said
to himseli: "How am I doing?"
And he was doing fine, too. He was
as high as any man could get going
his way.
One son is Phillip Murray,
chief of the CIO. The other is
Benjamin F. Fairless, president
of United States Steel. And if
anybody wants to be old fashioned and say: "That is America, or was, and not bad, either,"
it is OK in this corner.
Fairless warns a Murray union
that its wage demands may float the
inflation balloon, because U. S. Steel
would have to raise prices to meet
the swollen payroll. Fairless probably doesn't keep wages down because he likes to. He knows what it
is to pocket a pay envelope as well
as to hand one out. He was born in
Pigeon Run, Ohio.
He went to work early, taught
school to get through college. He
was graduated a civil engineer,
but he turned soon to steel and
although the road was rocky he
climbed fast. At 45 he was pres·
ident of Carnegie-Illinois. He has
headed the prime company since
1938. Fifty-three now he is ruddy, stocky, and insiders caD him

THE DIFFERENCE

MORE glamorous than ever,
Sonja Henie, the Queen of the
Ice, will lead her seventh annual
Hollywood Ice Revue at the Chicago Stadium for twenty performances opening Saturday night, December 25, and running through
January 15. It is entirely new so
far as costumes, music and skating routines are concerned. Besides Sonja, there are many accomplished skaters whose work is
familiar to Chicago audiences. Tl::e
show is presented in two acts and
24 scenes. M iss Henie does the
bulk of the skating and will be
seen in no less than six different
roles during the 2 hour and 30
minute performance.
The show is more costly than
ever. The same creators w.ho
staged, d esigned, directed and set
the 1943 Hollywood Ice Revue have
cooperated in the all-new 1944
show. A thirty-piece orchestra will
provide the musical background.
Mail orders for seats may be

Short Paragraphs

On the Threshold of 1944 it may be appropriate to envision a
better world ...... ''A world whieh shall afford to all nations the
mean!'l of dwelling in safety within their boundaries. and which
'Yill a.fford assurance that all men in all lands may live out their
hves m freedom from fear and want.", May God speed that day,
we pray, as we send you our New Years Greetings.

RUSSIA:
Drive in North

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS

Jap Defensive Positions in Pacific
Crumble Under New Allied Invasion;
Senate Studies Revised Tax Measure;
Government Acts to Halt Rail Tie· Up

While Russian and eel'tnan troops
slugged at each other in the central
and southern sectors, the Nazis reported 100,000 Reds attacked to the
north, in what they said was a preliminary move to a major winter
drive for the Baltic sea.
By driving to the Baltic, the Reds
would split the Germans' northern
armies from those of the south. and
also give them a base from which
to attack enemy shipping making use
of the sea to supply its armies in
the area.
In the Ukraine, both sides gave
ground grudgingly under heavy
blcws. The Nazis pressed forward
toward picturesque and domed
KiP.V, while the Reds pounded out
gains, farther to the south in the
Dnieper bend.

TRANSPORTATION:
Parts Needed

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
New Landing
One day after U. S. bombers had
dumped 350 tons of explosives on
Arawe on New Britain island, U. S.
warships moved shoreward to the
enemy base and pumped big shells
into the defenses, even as planes
returned to assist in the bombard·
ment.
After this terrific crescendo, U. S.
doughboys swarmed ashore to establish a beachhead on this "trategic island, center of Japanese shipping for supplying its embattled
forces on New Guinea and Bougainville.
By landing on Arawe, U. S. forces
drove a wedge into Jap positions on
Cape Gloucester to the west and
Gasmata to the east, where the enemy has established airfields to help
cover the barge operations with
which he feeds supplies to his troops
ih this area by traveling along the
jungle shorelines by night.
While the U. S. stormed Arawe,
heavy bombers continued to smack
the Marshalls, small Jap island holdings in the central Pacific.

RAILROADS:
Strike Called

ITALY:
Action in Air
Connecting link between Germany
and Italy, Europe's historic Brenner pass was pounded by waves of
I U. S. bombers, seeking to disrl!pt
the rail lines feeding Nazi arm1es
to the south.
By striking at the pass, the bombers countered a successful Nazi air
raid on the southeastern Italian port
of Bari, in which 30 German planes
whizzed in at low level and sank
17 Allied cargo vessels lying at anchor in the harbor.
. .
On the ground, U. S. and Br1tJsh
troops clambered forward over
mountainous country toward Rome
in sleety weather. Fighting bitterly
from strong defenses in the hills,
and throwing armored for~ations
into action on the level plams, the
Nazis succeeded in slowing Allied
advances.

CONGRESS:
Tax Bill
Tacking on an additional 144 million dollars, the senate finance committee approved a
new 2 billion, 284
million dollar tax
bill which, if passed
by congress, will
boost U. S. revenues to 43 billion
dollars yearly.
Written under Sen.
Walter George's
chairmanship, the
senate bill requires
payment of the 3
per cent Victory tax
Sen. George
by everybody with
income over $~'24 a year, and raises
levies on amusements, travel, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, furs,
luggage, toilet articles and other
luxuries.
Also included in the bill was a
provision requiring labor organizations and farm co-operatives· to file
financial s;ta tements annually.

With 97.7 p.er cent of the operating railroad union members voting
to strike to enforce their demands
for higher wages and with th1l walkout date set for December 30, the
government acted quickly to prevent transportation interruption.
Said spokesmen for the 350,000
trainmen, firemen, enginemen, engineers, conductors and switchmen
who have demanded a 30 per cent
wage increase with a minimum
boost of $3 daily: "It is a strike
against inflation ior the privileged
few and deflation for the many."
To meet the crisis which was provoked by the unions' rejection of an
emergency board's award of a 32cents a day increase, the government's national mediation board
summoned both union and rail officials ·to meet to settle d ifferences. More Whisky

oneness of purpose, the sinc~rity, the
unwavering determination of this
hardy son of Tennessee that broke
down the barriers of suspicion and
distrust and found a common way
for Russia to march solidly shoulderto-shoulder with Britain and America in this war and to give promise
that the three would face the peace

international altruism that this
weary world can expect.

sealed the covenants. It killed once

this accomplished? By convincing
Russia that it was not the plot of the
capitalistic nations to let her bleed
white on the battlefields so that she
could be throttled in the postwar

really means that the President is
there-not an attempt to hide his
absence from the enemy.
Already the nervous bulletins, announcing the forbidden truths or the
invented canards as to the whereabouts of the Allied leaders, are forgotten in the more instant interest
in the happenings on the battle fronts
-on the home front.
Washington has had time to ponder on America's new leadership in
world affairs. Perhaps that toast offered by Premier Stalin to A1nerican
war production without which, he
said, the war could not have been
won by the Allies, brought the truth
home. America is emerging out of
this holocaust as the world's greatest power.
And for the first time in history,
the world's greatest power is the
nation whose people are least prepared, least experienced, least anxious for world leadership. There is
a chance that we may let it go by default.
Washington has assayed pretty
well by this time the fruits of the
Moscow conference, the Cairo conference with Chiang Kai-shek attending; the Teheran meeting; the meeting with Turkey's president.

of a gallop he knew they were tiring. Slowly he began to overtake
the rear that was like a dark wave
rolling on in front of him.
He had forgotten the storm. If
there had been another thunderclap
it was drowned by the rattling jar
in his ears. A crooked flash close
in front of the longhorns was his
first warning.
Against its white light all of the
widespread herd stood out briefly,
caught in tossing waves, gone too
soon for him to locate any rider.
Someone was close before he
heard the pounding thud of hoofs.
Then the rider was alongside, Jim

He swung back almost as if a
band had gripped his shoulders and
turned him with a sudden violence.
"It's my guard, Lew. I'm going
out. The others needn't come till
they're ready."
"Plenty of time," he said. "Take
it easy." But Clay's huge plunging
gait was carrying him on. He got
up and followed, urged by a quick,
yet unshaped suspicion. "Wait a
minute." He caught up off in the
decreasing light. There was no heat
ln him, only a dull outrage against
this man who had so much and was
using it so badly. He could still
see Joy's look, grave and strange
end sweet, promising all that a
woman could promise, and yet Clay
could go on in his bullheaded secret
way surely toward some kind of
ruin. "There's four men out now,"
he said. Moonlight and Splann had
not come in. "Why are you going,
Clay?"
The answer came in a surly growl.
"There's a storm blowing up. You
-can see that yourself."
He could, but that wasn't it. He
waited, letting his eyes probe
through the dim light and seeing the
ruddy face turn more and more
strained with its controlled temper. He let his words drop quietly.
"Ves. If that was all. What is it?"
"What else do you think?"
"I think you'd better use your

It was suddenly as if fatigue had hit

seemed to halt between one step and

dark mass.
He let them rest while daylight

The longhorns' run had taken them
far west, and it was not until after
two hours of steady, speechless riding that he saw Owl-Head Jackson's
camp smoke lift from the junction
of the river and its tributary cr&lt;'ek.
He searched along the creek's
growth for the trampled part whP.re
the herd could cross. Something
halted his drifting gaze. He brought
it back. An icy coldness crept ro•, er
his skin.
"John," he said and pointed, "T' d
better go look."
It was a riderless horse. Even
from halt a mile off he knew by the
way the animal was standing, crook·
edly, with a tired patience, that it
had broken a leg. Closer, he saw
the saddle under its belly. Its heod
raised a little as he approached but
dropped" again. He drew his gun
and put the muzzle close behind one
pointed ear and felt sick as he pulled
the trigger.
Dragging tracks led toward the
creek. He followed them, steeled
against a thing he had looked upon
before and yet chilled even by those
memories. His shot had brought two
riders starting out of the dist11nt
river trees near camp. He couldn't
tell who they were. Then suddenly
his horse snorted, spread its legs
and stopped. The trampled swath of
creekbottom willow lay beyond the
low bank. He looked where the ani·
mal's ears pointed and in that first
moment felt no shock. All of his
senses seemed to have gone dead.
In that strangely suspended feeling he turned back, fired his gun in
the air and waved the men on from
the herd. They loped toward him.
When they saw the horse he had
shot no one asked for the rider.
He said, "It's Tom," and saw
their faces, haggard from the night's
work, only set a little more.

He jerked a nod toward the
creek. "Over there."
Clay rod~ over and sat there and
took his time about coming back.
AI! expression on his full, ruddy face
was veiled by an oddly smoothedout look . He shook his head.
"Tough. I'll go in, Lew, and tell
Joy."
"No," he said, "not yet."
Clay's huge body straightened up
in th.e saddle. "Why not?" His voice
earned a new power.
"There's no use," he said. "Not
till afterward. We're too far from
civilizatinn to go in for that kind of
a burial. It will have to be here,
right now. Let Joy have some other
memory. Where's Steve?'-'
In a little silence, with his question
unanswered, he knew something
was coming that had been shaped
already in his own mind. But he
hadn't expected it would come so
soon.
Th en Clay said, "Steve's in camp.
I'm going in. This makes a difference, Lew. A big one. You might
as well know that.''
"Not one bit!" He swung his hcrse
over close. "What you're figurir.g
on hasn't happened. You'll take my
orders till it does." An outraged
sense turned him as bitterly hard as
he had ever felt. "What a time you
pick!" He backed off, holding the
hot stare of Clay's blue eyes.
"John," he said, "you come with
me." He flung a last look at Clay.
"The rest of you stay here."
Riding on, out of hearing, Quarternight growled, "There's a hyena for
you!"

BLISTERED PAINT
Question: Please reprint the name
of the paint remover you have mentioned, and how to use it. I wish to
remove some blistered paint.
Answer: Trisodium phosphate,
three pounds dissolved in a gallon
of hot water, makes an excellent
paint remover. This chemical is
sold at grocery stores under various
trade names. It is a coarse white
powder that cleans without making
a lather when dis15olved in water.
There also are commercial paint
removers to be had at paint stores.
A blowtorch sometimes is used for
blistered paint on the outside of a
house. But this should be used only
by someone with experience, because of the fire hazard.

tsh for year-round living. A shredded wood-fibre blanket insulation
was suggested. There is no cellar
under the house, but the space there
is high enough to get under it.
Please advise.
Answer: A one-inch thick insulating blanket in the walls, and a
stud thickness of insulation in the
attic and floor should make the
house quite comfortable-provided,
of course, there is sufficient heat in
the house. It would help greatly to
put storm sash on all windows. Before installing the floor insulation,
coat the underside of floor with
liquid asphalt to keep out dampness.

Old Decanter
Question: I have an old decanter,
the inside of which is spotted (round
spots like sanded glass). These spots
do not show when wet, but come out
when the decanter is dry. I have
tried the sand and shredded newspaper methods of cleaning, but without success. Can you suggel)t anything else?
Answer: The polish on the glass
inside the decanter may have been
worn off by the use of gravel for
cleaning purposes. If so, there is no
way to repolish the surface. As a
'.ast resort, you might try cleaning
with bird shot in hot, soapy water.

Eliminate Wasps
A poison bait can be used to rid
the attic of wasps. Stir a teaspoonful of paris green into a cupful of
syrup or hon~y. After mixing well,
spread the ml:x\ure on small pieces
of bread or heavy paper, and put
the bait where it can easily be found
by the wasps, which will eventually
die of the polson. Be sure the bait
is out of reach of children.
Cluster flies and other small insects can be kept out of homes by
proper precautions in the autumn.
They can squeeze through openings
apparently smaller than their bodies. Stuff cracks around windows
and screens with cotton to prevent
their entrance.
A pyrethrum spray will kill or
stupefy any of these attic insects.
Wet the bodies thoroughly and they
will either die or fall to the floor
where they may be swept up. In
the spring when the insects are anx.Jcus to get out of doors, simply open
the attic windows, but be sure to
close them again before the pests
return in the evening.
Tourists Boom
American tourists are crowding
Mexico buying up everything from
"gin and electrical appliances to
bobby pins and elastics." Mexico is
not feeling the war as acutely as
the United States, as rationing has
not gone into effect there. There is
plenty of everything and although
they appredate the influx of American dollars, Mexicans are getting
annoyed because American tourists
are thronging through the country ,
buying surpluses of goods they can't
get in the United States. Some distributors even claim to have reshipped American-made small elec·
trical appliances again into the
States.
Electrification of many countries
and islands where naval and military bases have been built and which
thus have been expanded considerably, will offer new profitable markets for electrical appliances after
the war. The trend towards industrialization of Mexico, Brazil and
other countries is creating a higher
standard of living. This of course
r~es new markets. -~

Army Repair Shops Busy
Restoring Many Articles
Millions of articles Of army clothing and equipage are being repaired
each month by quartermaster corps
repair shops in all parts of the
world. At present, nearly three million articles are being turned out
monthly by shops in the continental
United States alone.
Quartermaster corps repair shops
handle all articles of clothing and
equipage, inclu~ng such items as
tents, blankets, haversacks, canvas,
'i\"Cbbing and other textile articles,
typewriters and office machines.
Quartermaster shops at approximately 260 posts, camps and stations in the United States are saving the government nearly two million dollars a month through their
repair activities. Overseas quartermaster repair shops are in opera~
tion at numerous bases. These fixed
installations are supplemented by
repair shops on wheels, operating in
theaters of operations where it is
impracticable to set up permanent
establishments.
Articles in excess of the capacity
of overseas repair units are returned
to the United States for repair or
salvage and are handled at newly
established repair sub-depots on the
east artd west coasts.

Rubber Tapping
•
On each side of main straight-up- •
and-dowh incision on rubber trees, •
tributary incisions are cut to bring •
in the latex to the main down-the- •
tree stream, after the manner of
brooks emptying into a river. This •
is known as the herringbone pattern. •
A second phase of the better tapping •
methods coacerns the manner in
which the tal'lper climbs the castil- •
loa tree. In the past tappers often •
have not climbed the trees at all,
thus failing to get much rubber that •
might be obtai.laed from the upper •
trunk.
•
They are now taught to use rope
belts slung around the tree and •
around their seats, as a means of •
hoisting themselves up the trees. ! •
They climb with their bare feet, 1
leaving hands free for knife wield- 1 •
ing. One tapper, using the better •
methods in untapped territory, went
from tree to tree, climbing and tapping each, and collected 111/4 gallons i 8
of latex in two hours. Another, in i
L!ess promising area, got five gal- •
rons in an hour and 40 minutes. 1
This contrasts with about five gal- •
Ions a day expected from a good •
tapper by the old methods.

Controlling Explosives
8
A typical instance of control over
giant explosive forces was the dam- I •
ming of the Saguenay river in Can- •
ada for a hydroelectric project. The I •
torrential rush of the current balked 1
successive attempts to complete a 1
cofferdam, the conventional method.
So the dam was built completely I •
out of the water, standing upright on
end upon one bank of the river. The •
steel and concrete structure towered 1 •
95 feet in height, was 45 feet wide •
and measured 40 feet where it
was to plumb the river at its deep- •
est point.
•
The problem was to drop its huge •
ltl:&gt;ulk into place in the stream. The
margin between success and failure •
was rated in inches. A Du Pont ex- ' •
pert planted 1,000 pounds of a gelatin •
dynamite in just the right spot to
blow away the supports holding the •
dam upright. The entir·e charge ex- •
ploded as a single shot. The tower
toppled o.nd fell. F~\j! seconds after •
the blast, the huge dam rested , •
squarely on the target.

Lynn Says
Money Savers: Cheese will
keep better if it is covered with a
light coating of margarine and
stored in a tightly covered fruit
j ar.
If potatoes are cooked about
5 minutes before baking you can
cut their baking time in about
bali and save fuel costs.
A tablespoon of water added to
the white of an egg before beating will almost double its volume.
Longer beating is required.
If you melt chocolate for cakes
and cookies, add about 114 cup of
sugar from the recipe to the
chocolate which is melted in the
saucepan. It will gather up any
particles of chocolate left in the
pan.

he was doing fine. He was as high as any

And he was doing fine, too. He was
as high as any man could get going

One son is Phillip Murray,
chief of the CIO. The other is
Benjamin F. Fairless, president
of United States Steel. And if
anybody wants to be old fashioned and say: "That is America, or was, and not bad, either,"
it is OK in this corner.
Fairless warns a Murray union
that its wage demands may float the
inflation balloon, because U. S. Steel
would have to raise prices to meet
the swollen payroll. Fairless probably doesn't keep wages down because he likes to. He knows what it
is to pocket a pay envelope as well
as to hand one out. He was born in
Pigeon Run, Ohio.
He went to work early, taught
school to get through college. He
was graduated a civil engineer,
but he turned soon to steel and
although the road was rocky he
climbed fast. At 45 he was pres·
ident of Carnegie-Illinois. He has

THE DIFFERENCE

MORE glamorous than ever,
Sonja Henie, the Queen of the
Ice, will lead her seventh annual
Hollywood Ice Revue at the Chicago Stadium for twenty performances opening Saturday night, December 25, and running through
January 15. It is entirely new so
far as costumes, music and skating routines are concerned. Besides Sonja, there are many accomplished skaters whose work is
familiar to Chicago audiences. Tl::e
show is presented in two acts and
24 scenes. M iss Henie does the
bulk of the skating and will be
seen in no less than six different
roles during the 2 hour and 30
minute performance.
The show is more costly than
ever. The same creators w.ho
staged, d esigned, directed and set
the 1943 Hollywood Ice Revue have
cooperated in the all-new 1944
show. A thirty-piece orchestra will
provide the musical background.

HI, Mr. Carr:

am doing. Am training on a L. S. T.

Boy, do they drill us and make us go
over the obstacle &lt;"ourse? And what a
grind that us,
We live in tin buts
here. But the chow is better than it
was at the Lakes. All you see here is
sand and pine trees. Walter Wintchell
said this is the oniy concentration
camp in the world that gives liberty so
you can tell what it is like. Tell the
rest of the boys hello, and thanks a
lot for the Crete paper.

Committees for Economic Develop1nent

~

By AL JEDLICKA
R eleased by Western Ne ws pa per Union.

In over 2,000 communities
throughout the United States,
people are laying their own
plans for a return to a peacetime economy when the war
ends and the country's gigantic
armament production ceases.
Although these people are being guided by the Committee for
Economic Development, they
are no trained technicia ns nor
market analysts nor economists
themselves, but just plain Mr.
and Mrs . America familiarizing
themselves with the conditions
peculiar to their communities
and anxious to provide opportunities for its prosperity in the
critical postwar world.
Citizens in towns and cities ranging from hundreds to thousands in
population have grouped to undertake a problem that otherwise might
be cast solely upon the shoulders of
the government, and thus they have
sought to apply democratic principles directly through themselves
rather than through distant public
officials.
Recognizing the great business
possibilities in the postwar world,
and seeking to acquaint the p eople
the country over with them so they
might relieve any distress attending demobilization of the milita ry
establishments and industry, the
Committee for Economic Development, or CEO, was organized in
1942 and began its operations in
1943, with the intention of assisting in the creation of postwar planning groups in communities of more
than 10,000. But with the realization that only through a widespread
organization affecting every economic segment of the country could
any movement be effective, the CED
extended its activities to smaller
cities as well, where the limited
fields offer an even more thorough
application of the plan.
Headed and supported by the nation's biggest businessmen, the
CED makes no bones about its objective of stimulating individual ini-

tiative to assist in the solution of. the
~rave problems which demobiliza;ion will present. But, in pursuing
tts goal, CED's organizers welcome
the backing of. every economic group
within a community: the business:nen, the farmers, labor, public officials and any other persons who
might be interested.
Each City Makes Own Plans.
In proceeding with their work,
CED's organizers insist upon each
!:ommunity developing its own plans,
on the principie that its members
are more familiar with the city's
circumstances than anybody outside
of it might be. CED actively enters the picture through its guidance in organization, the distribution of findings of its expert research
departments, and its establishment
as a clearing house for the exchange
of information gathered through its
country-wide operations.
As an indication of the grass-roots
character of the communal postwar planning, CED's records show
that 35 per cent of the cities organized are under 10,000 population, and
in the typically rural state of South
Dakota, for instance, 130 out of 172
communities engaged in the proiram have less than 1,300 people.
The working of the program may
be best explained by a study of its

actual operation in one of the small
cities, as described by Mr. Hermann
C. Wehmann, CED' s regional manager for the Ninth Federal Reserve
district, embracing the Northwest.
In helping to organize a town, Mr.
Wehmann said, CED representatives
contact some representative member of the community, who then assembles other active citizens to discuss the program. Expenses are
negligible, since the local chamber of commerce, etc., furnish the
headquarters, and financial outlay is
limited to stationery and postage
stamps.
To get an idea of the possible postwar conditions in the community,
various surveys are conducted, Mr.
Weymann continued, with local industries canvassed as to the number of employees they expect they
will be able to hire, and residents
polled as to the different kinds of
merchandise they plan to purchase.
Businessmen then figure on how
many people they will need to service the demand. Surveys also establish plans for postwar public
works to take up any employment
slack.
To provide a solid basis for the
business community to figure on,
residents polled also are asked to
reveal whether they intend to purcha e goods out of curn. income,
installment credit,
;.;s or bank
Through banks, building and loan
asscJcia ors, postal savi'l~s and war
bond sales, fin ancial asse-:.::: of the
community are tabulated, to determine the extent to which postwar activities might be supported.
Albert Lea, Minn., Survey.
Typical of the consumer surveys
upon which businessmen can project their potential needs, Mr. Webmann said, was the one conducted
in the town of Albert Lea with its
population of 12,200, in Freeborn
county with over 31,000 people, in
Minnesota.
The survey showed that residents
of the town expected to buy 1,156
automobiles at $1,217,268, and farmers of the county 1,140 cars at $1,105,800.

People in the town hoped to buy
442 new houses at an average cost
of $4,068, while farmers looked forward to the construction of 150
homes at $3,150 each.
Repairs averaging $514 were

planned for 714 houses in Albert
Lea, while similar work averaging
$900 was anticipated on 540 farm
homes in the county. In addition,
farmers indicated they would build
360 barns at an average cost of
$1,473, and 360 silos at an average
price of $539.
Farmers also expected to purchase 780 tractors averaging $926
each; 810 prefabricated small buildings averaging $566, and 810 electric
services averaging $325.
With businessmen thus able to figure upon their possible employment
needs, and with surveys of local industries determining their future operating prospects, communities can
partly visualize their postwar condition.
New Industries Encouraged.
Towns that may be faced with a
surplus of employables can be encouraged to explore the possibility of.
developing a new industry after consultation with economic experts at
their state universities. In cases
where such development may be desirable, consideration may be given
to some industry which might be
based upon a local agricultural crop.
After extensive field work, Mr.
Wehmann has set up a chart of the
employment prospects of towns
which have undertaken communal

The CED does not overlook the
impor tance of industry quickly reconverting to civilian production to
abs orb th e mass of employables, nor
does it ignore the fact that any
solid stability can be expected unless agriculture is assured an adequat e market at a fair price.
On the question of reconversion,
CED stands for the swift settlement
of cancelled war contracts to provide industry with funds with which
to finance the switch back to civilian
goods. At the end of the war, CED
figures that about 10 billion dollars
of claims will be entered against
the government, of which probably
2 billion dollars will be subject to
dispute.
Government Surplus Sales.
Besides reconversion, CED also
advocates the orderly disposal of
surplus war material, so as not to
repeat the mistakes that followed
marketing of such goods after the
last conflict, with the subsequent
disturbance of normal channels of
production and distribution. In this
respect, the government already has
established an agency for handling
surplus goods, with emphasis placed
upon a maximum return for any
material.
In a recent address, Paul G. Hoffman, chairman of the board of trustees of CED, declared:
"Private business cannot by any
means do the entire job of providing postwar employment. But it is
aware of its obligation to make its
maximum contribution to that end.
With labor and agriculture, it hopes
to see reestablished after this war

ACTORS are peopll!, but not many
studio bosses realize that. Too
often here grease paint gals and boys
are rated as so many pieces of property to be used or not as the bigwigs
see fit, then turned out to pasture.
I once knew a young director who
stated flatly that "actors are bums."
He reeled off an entire column to
prove his point that by and large
actors not only bite the hands that
feed them but will take the arms off
at the elbow.
"They come t'O town
and paper suitcases,"
"anxious for a
c h an c e, or so
they say. But
with their first

on the people who
built them up, refuse to do this or

that part, and in
general stink up
the joint."
Those studio
gold - braids who
share this direcDolores Moran tor's point of view
-and there are
quite a few-carry on a strange kind
of war with their actors in which, or
so it seems, they try to impede their
professional progress. I say
"strange kind of war" because to
me it's ridiculous to sign a batch of
kids, boys and girls, to long contracts, then to keep these kids miles
from a camera until at option time
they are unceremoniously given the

IN NORMANDY .-One of the things the layman doesn't hear
much about is the ordnance department. In fact it is one of the
branches that even the average soldier is little aware of except
in a vague way.
And yet the war couldn't keep going without it. For ordnance
repairs all the vehicles of an army and furnishes all the ammunition for its guns.

That means we
have many thousands of ordnancemen in Normandy. Their insigne is
a flame coming out of a retortnicknamed in the army "The Flaming Onion."
Ordnance operates the ammunition dumps we have scattered about
the beachhead. But much bigger
than its ammunition mission is ordnance's job of repair. Ordnance has
275,000 items in its catalog of parts,
and the mere catalog itself covers a
20-foot shelf.
In a central headquarters here on
the beachhead a modern filing system housed in big tents keeps records on the number and condition
of 500 major items in actual use on
the beachhead, from tanks to pistols.
We have scores of separate

The division ordnance companies

Today the wrea:kage of seven
weeks of war is all in hand, and in
one great depot after another it is
being worked out-repaired or rebuilt or sent back for salvage until
everything possible is made available again to our men who do the
fighting. In later columns I'll take
you along to some of these repair
companies that do the vital work.

The cook on LST No. 392, on which
I came to France, was a beefy,
good-natured fellow named Edward
Strucker of Barberton, Ohio, which
is near Akron.
Cooking on these transport ships
is a terrible job, for you suddenly
have to turn out twice as much
food as normally. But Eddie is not
the worrying type, and he takes it
all in his stride.
Eddie has a brother named
Charles in the army engineers, and
in the past year has been lucky
enough to run into him four timesonce in Africa, once in Sicily, and
twice in Italy.

Electric Motors Long
Lasting if Given Care
Electric motors will give years of
uninterrupted service with very little
care, bnt thnt little care is extremely important.
Mntor bcarings must be lubrica tc~d at definite intervals otherwise neglect mny ruin bearings and
c;1use injury to the motor winding.
Ltght petroleum oils are generally
u~ed for motors with sleeve bearit.gs; soft greasr&gt;s for ball bearings.
The lubricnting device usually indic:JtPs the type of lubricants used.
b11t one's best g:1ide is the instruc·
tion book.
Mutm·s must be kept clean or
t!1rt and dust around coih- and windings. Excess gil must be wiped off,
and the motor hluwn cl\"ar with an
inverted vacuum cleaner. Carbon
tetrachloride will remove oil and
greases.
Burnt out motors are generall:v
caused by overloading, low voltage
too tight belts, or failure uf the start:
ing mechanism. Overloading is
usually cam:Prl by l&lt;tck of lubrica·
tion of the motors or the driven
machine, misadjustment of parts,
blocking of the driven machine as
in the case of a frozen water pump,
or through use of lubricants which
become stiff at low temperatures.
Wax Fireplace
Fireplaces, no matter how well
constructed, seem bound to smoke
under some conditions. The cumulative result on a fireplace framed
with a white painted mantel is to
darken the paint by coating it with
a sooty, adhesive film which may be
resistant to ordinary cleaning. Waxing of the clean white or light-colored woodwork around the fireplace
can be a big aid in keeping the fram·
ing of the fireplace bright and attractive. If the paint is already discolored by the smoke, it should be
cleaned thoroughly and then repainted or enameled. When the job is
thoroughly dry, it should be waxed
with a good grade of wax. When the
waxed surface becomes so impregnated with smoke or soot that it
resists cleaning and needs renewing,
a self-polishing wax can be removed
with warm, soapy water, or liquid
wax can be removed by rubbing
with more liquid wax applied with a
cloth. It is important to remember
that self-polishing wax and liquid
wax are of different compositions
and require different treatment. Care
should be taken to see that the fire
is cut and that the air is free from
ash or dust particles when fresh
paint or wax is beir.g used, and that
the fi1 ' is not startea again until tht·
protec, 'd surface of the white wood.!_01'~ ia ~erfectly dry.

America Leads
George Washington never rode a
wheel. If he had lived until the
bicycle was invented, he would have
been 110 years old. In Washington's
day the United States with its Constitution, its popular vote and its
representative law-making bodies
was laughed at by people who rliscussed it in far-away lands. They
called it a queer government, experiment in a frontier country.
Now look at us.
Last week this column said that
anybody who wanted to change the
American system much was an en·
err.y of humanity, and we promised
to ~ay why. The reason is that
America leads the world in benefitting all mankind. Since George
Washington's day, America has used
freedom that he and his contemporaries protected with the Constitution, to show the world how to live
and make progress.
High Achievement
Mortal man never created anything of more value to the race than
America's system of open competition-Private Enterprise. Out of every 400 people on earth, 25 live in
the United States, only 6.25 percent,
but we send more young people ta
high school and college than all other countries combined. Our farmers
are richer than Solomon. They
never saw a golden sceptre nor a
jeweled crown perhaps, but their
homes and barns hold many useful
things that Solomon would have enjoyed but could not buy.
Things not available to Solomon
which any American can get now
through Private Enterprise are
countless. Imagine: Solomon's personal car was horse-drawn; he had
to guess what time it was on clouc!y
days; he never saw a movie and '-II
the news he ever got was hearsay.
The royal palace was not wired for
electricity, had no telephone and no
radio. The king ate what grew in
Palestine and liked it because transportation and refrigeration were in
the early stages of makeshift.
Notbing Is Perfect
Between Solomon's reign in Canaan and Washington's administration in U. S. A. (call it 2,500 years)
there was surprisingly little gain in
human well-being. But progress was
made in America, where rewards of
Free Enterprise inspired vast numbers o.f people to set their minds
and hands to work doing worth-while
things. Out of it came the culture,
convenience ahd vi~'iolcsome enjoyments of the age in which we live.
America has passed through some
periods that everybody in the country thought were bad. Our political
leaders and industrial barons have
made mistakes which anybody can
see by looking backward. No longer
ago than 1936 when employment was
low, our jobless "unfortunates" drove
to their relief work in private motor
cars. When the American people's
spirit was at ita lowest, our national
Income was larger than that of six
foreign countries-any six.
A Better System
For purposes of comparison with
America's living standards, almost
any citizen of the United States
would select Europe, and rightly so.
Europeans are most like Americans
and best understood by most of us.
I have often contrasted life here
with existence in the Orient where I
spent eleven years, but the diifert llU:3 are too markcCI for com pariliOn. Asia is still in Solowon's time.
Europe has advanced beyond
Washington's day, but wages are
three times as high in America
twice as high even as in Eniland'
which is a highly industrialized
country with an old culture. Working people m America have twice
as much and live twice as welL
Has America had access to more
natural resources than Britain? No
Britain long dominated the world'~
resources.
Nobody boasts tha!
Americans are smarter than the
British. America has only one ad·
vantage, namely, freedom which includes Free Enterprise. The system
can be and is being improved but
no'hing better has evPr been tried.

War Spurs Construction
Of Low-Cost Housing
Mort than 8,300 federally financed
houses now occupied by war workers in 44 public housing projects in
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be cortverted to lowrent housing and slum clearance
purposes after the war, according to
information to the national association of housing officials.
Now operated by local housing
authorities in 23 localities in these
states, the projects originally were
planned for peace-time low-rent
housing. When the war emergency
arose, congress authorized development of the projects for "persons
engaged in national defense activities." Federal loans covered all the
;ost, of such housing.
In the postwar period these projects will be refinanced under provisions of the United States housing
act which authorizes the Federal
public housing authority to lend
local authorities up to 90 per
of the total development cost of
rent housing. The balance
will be raised by local
through the sale of their own
which will be secured by
rents plus annual contrib

'Abclcfl rope ~f is not
commercially in the United
Before the outbreak of wa'r \in
Pacific, practically the entire :pupply
of abaca used in this country came
from the Philippines. Fortur.ately
the United States department of
agriculture had cooperated in the
planting of some abaca experimentally in Panama in 1925 ~.,g_
had found the soil and clim~te~-~f
several Central American countries
well suited to this crop. Although
nothing was done then on a commercial scale, the experimental
plots were carefully maintained. In
1937 and 1938 field plantings of about
2,000 acres were made in Panama.
In 1943 an American commercial
company under contract with the
Defense Supplies corporation undertook to plant 40,000 acres of abaca
in four countries from the plantings
already established. In place of the
laborious hand methods of stripping
the fibers used in the Philippines
this company is now installing mod:
ern equipment, and machinery for
cleaning and processing the fiber.

Dusting Popular
Dusting is becoming popular for
insect and disease control in the
garden because it is easy quick
effective, and the dust com~s read;
to use. One pound of dust covers as
many plants as four gallons of
spray, and a good duster is cheaper'
and easier to opera\C than a
sprayer.
For the home garden a plunger
type hand duster is adequate, if it
has an extension tube and a curved
"underleaf nozzle" for dusting the
undersurface of the leaves without
stooping. The two-quart or one-quart
size is preferable to a smaller one.
If a sprayer is preferred, be sure
to have one with an angle nozzle as
well as a straight nozzle, for spraying the underside of the leaves. Do
not use materials prepared for dusting in spray, but rather materials
specified for mixing with water.
Carn Planting
Farmers may plant 5 to 10 more
acres of corn per day by drilling or
hill-hopping instead of checkrowing
their corn. Under many conditions,
they will secure yields just as high
as with checking if they get the
same plant population per acre, according to some agronomists. Although checkrowing has been the
traditional method of plnntinl! corn
for many years in the COl!! 0~ .t and
is still an important method in fields
heavily infested with weeds, drilling
or hill-dropping corn has some decided advantages. Studies show that
50 per cent of the time in the field
when checkrowing corn is lost in
turning, moving the wire, and filling
hoppers. Much of this lost time can
be put to use for work in drilling.
When corn is planted on the contour
on sloping fields, drilling or hilldropping is the only satisfactory method.

Tetany Threat During
Early Weeks of Grazing
Green pastures provide excellent
feed for cattle, but livestock owners
should be on the lookout for symptoms of grass tetany during the first
two or three weeks of grazing, according to the department of animal
pa~ho_logy and hygiene, University of
Illmo1s college of agriculture.
Affected animals are usually nervous, restless, have an unsteady gait,
often froth at the mouth and usually
develop convulsions. The disease
seems to develop most often in cattle
turned on rye, wheat or barley pastures, but apparently animals may
be stricken that are grazing on any
rapidly growing grass, particularly
if the pasture has been heavily fertilized.
Prompt treatment by the veterinarian in the early stages may effect a cure-delay often ends in the
death of affected animals. Treated
animals should not he excited, and
feed should be limited to dry hay.
Keeping the catt:e out of the pasture
at night during the first two or three
weeks and feeding some hay, especially if the rainfall is heavy, is recommended for the prevention of the
disease.

Lettuce and beet seed may be
sovm directly in the ground, but if
plants can be obtained gardeners
can have beet greens and lettuce
two or three weeks earlier by setting plants started indoors.
The first step in transplanting is
to block out the plants. With an old
knife cut the soil in the flat lengthwise and crosswise between the
rows so that each plant can be lifted
with a block of soil attached. Blocking out plants leaves most of thesmall roots undisturbed and the
plants start growth more rapidly
than if pulled with little soil on the
roots.
In marking the places for digging
holes for the plants, make sure they
have enough space. Cabbage and
broccoli need about 18 inches between plants; lettuce, 8 to 12 inches,
anrl beets, 1 to 3 inches. Dig holes
with a trowel or spade and set the
plants a little deeper than they had
been growing in the flat. Pack the
soil firmly around the roots
draw loose soil over the surface.
Early in May the soil is usually
moist enough so the transplants need
no watering. If the ground is dry,
pour a cupful of water into each
hole before the plants arc set.

Discovery of the ruins of two cities in the jungle country at Mexico's waistline-the Isthmus of Tehuantepec-was announced by Dr.
Matthew W. Stirling, leader of an
expedition sent out jointly by the
Geographic society and the Smithsonian institution.
The smaller of the two cities, Dr.
Stirling reported, apparently was
abandoned more than 200 years ago
during the colonial era. The site is
now marked by numerous stone platforms reached by small stone stairways. The larger community is
believed to have been an ancient
ceremonial center. Its remains consist of a group of large mounds,
all faced with squared stones. Highest of the mounds reaches 50 feet
and the largest is nearly 600 feet
long. One of the features of the
ceremonial city is a well-preserved
ball court, a large rectangular space
paved with flat stones. Its four
sides are inclosed by embankments,
also faced with stone. On this court
was played a game resembling both
modern basketball and handball.
The region in which the ruins
were discovered lies more than
three days' journey from the nearest human habitation. The soil, now
choked with jungle growth, is fertile, Dr. Stirling said, and at one
time probably supported a heavy
population.

Record Taxes Paid by
Corporations in 1943
Taxes paid by corporations in the
United States in 1943 were the
largest on record, having risen to
$14,733,000,000 from $860,000,000 in
the prewar year of 1938, according
to the Alexander Hamilton institute.
In addition, raw material and labor
costs last year reached new high
levels for the war period.
Nevertheless, due partly to higher
selling prices but chiefly to a record
large volume of business, corporate
profits in 1943 reached the highest
figure not only for the war period
but also for the past 15-year period,
begir,ning with the predepression
year of 1929 which is as far back as
records"are available.
Corporate profits after taxes
amounted to $8,938,000,000 in 1943 as
compared with profits of $1,658,000,000 in the prewar year of 1938, with
a deficit of $3,646,000,000 at the bottom of the depression in 1932 &lt;me.
with profits of $7,194,000,000 in 19!'9
when the prosp'e rity period of .he
20's was at its peak. Profits in 1943

Food Conservation
By careful buying, storing and
preparation, homemakers can cut
the tremendous waste of food.
When the housewife goes to market she should buy the abundant
foods which generally are of better
quality and less expensive. She also
should buy only what she needs and
can use and what her family likes
and will eat. Careful storing of food
is also important in cutting waste .
Dairy products and meats should
be stored clean, cold and covered
the ice box should not be overload:
ed, packaged foods should be inspected regularly and a daily food
inventory is practical.
Poor preparation is responsible for
much food waste. Measure carefully, don't cook more than you need,
learn to make leftovers appetizing
don't overcook and don't serve to~
much.

Plywood Adhesive
Resin adhesives have become well
established in the plywood industry,
during this last 10 years, and have
been instrumental in extending plywood utilization into many new
fields, from which the limitations of
the earlier glues had barred it. The
waterproofness and high moisture
resistance nf the resin adhesives
have been outstanding advantages to
the plywood consumer, and the short
time interval required for completing the heat-pressure bond have been
a substantial aid to the producers
of plywood.
After the close of the war it can
1be confide~tly predicted that the advantages ~f synthetic resin adhesives will continue to broaden the
field of plywood applications into an
increasing number of civilian products. The adhesive characteristics
developed under the stress of war
can be more fully utilized and augmented in the indus'\rial era that
will characterize the peace, which
all fondly hope will be enduring.

Charging the present Argentine
government with offering friendly
support to Axis establishments and
scotching the solidarity of westernhemispheric opposition to the enemy, the U.S. government reasserted
its non-recognition of the new regime.
Indulging in no diplomatic doubletalk, the government, through Secretary of State Cordell Hull, branded Argentina as a "deserter to the
Allied cause," then went on to
charge that the new regime assisted
Axis subcontractors to bid on work

also allowed distribution of imported

With the harassed Germans holding down British gains on the eastern end of the Normandy beachhead,
U. S. troops unloosed a powerful assault on the western sector to break
through the Nazis' first-line defenses
and force an enemy withdrawal
along a 40-mile front.
With heavy bombers preparing the
ground for the big offensive with an
earth-shaking attack that buried
many of the German soldiers and
showered dirt over their guns, U. S.
armored forces then rode into battle to exploit the breach in the defenses. As the enemy pulled out,
U. S. fighters and fighter-bombers
swooped low to shoot up the retreating columns.
On the eastern end of the front,
Nazi Marshal Rommel threw in a
succession of counter-attacks to curtail the British advance south of
Caen, with fighting see-sawing as
one side would go into action when
the force of the other's initial assault had been worn off.

Bringing all of their superior firepower into play, U. S. forces in the
far Pacific continued to tighten their
foothold on Japan's inner ring of defenses around the Marianas islands,
while farther to the south in New
Guinea desperate enemy detachments tried futilely to crack the iron
ring General MacArthur has been
fastening about them.
As big U. S. naval guns tore into
enemy emplacements inland to supplement heavy artillery fire, U. S.
troops bore down on Tinian island in
the Marianas, while other American
units broke up frantic Jap counterattacks to consolidate their hold
on Guam, one of the first U. S.
possessions to fall to the enemy
after Pearl Harbor.
By establishing beachheads all
along the northern New Guinea
coast, General MacArthur succeeded in trapping thousands of J apanese troops in between, and many of
these were attempting to upset the
American lines before the steel
noose could be drawn around them
tighter.

U.S. LAND:
Disposal Program
Government decision to auction off
8,000,000 acres of surplus farm land
originally required for war purposes, has created a mild tempest in
Washington, D. C., with the Farmers' Union insisting on the Farm Security administration' s handling of
the disposal as part of its tenantpurchasing program.
Under plans of Surplus Property
Administrator William L. Clayton,
the Reconstruction Finance corporation is to supervise the program,
with appraisals submitted by local
experts; sales made as promptly as
possible without disrupting the market; former owners given opportunity to repurchase sites, and tracts
broken up into individual units.
Spearheading the Farmers' Union
opposition, President James G. Patton declared that Clayton's plan
would lead to dominance of the program by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, with control
over permanent resources by big interests.
Of the $59,004,006 worth of surplus
property disposed of up to mid-July,
no real estate was included. Aircraft and aircraft equipment made
up the bulk of the sales, the RFC
reported.

MYSTERY STORY

the German air force. And as Nazi
fighter-defense dwindled, so the
weight of sheer numbers reduced
the effectiveness of German antiaircraft defense and offense, due to
the bombing of her plane factories
and plane-part factories and to the
destruction of her pilots. Germany's
next greatest weakness is lack of
gas and oil. This has been caused
by the destruction (by the Allied air
force again) of oil wells, gasoline
refineries and synthetic oil plants.
Proofs of the effects of this born bing are not limited to photographs
showing the effect of Allied air raids
on ball-bearing plants, on the Ploesti
oil wells, on the synthetic oil plants
and the refineries. It is shown in
the German tanks and other war vehicles in perfect condition abandoned and captured because they
ran out of fuel.
Raids, really shake-down cruises
of the giant B-29s directed against
Japanese industrial plants, have just
begun.
Japan is already suffering from
shortages of essential materials. Her
great stolen storehouses of the Philippines and the Dutch Indies are a
long way from home. The transportation problem is a terrible one
-Japanese shipping has been subjected to terrific losses by our submarines and planes.

Distances Shrink in
Far Pacific Warfare
Is Japan in any better position to
resist air attack than Germany?
The answer seems to be "no." Her
greatest defense is distance, and distances in the Pacific theater have
shrunk at a speed far greater than
most people dreamed was possible.
Japan's next defense - fighter
planes-has suffered in greater proportion than was expected. The
quality, as well as the quantity of
Jap planes has fallen off so that
Japan has become stingy in her
use of fighters as the Germans. The
quality of her pilots has greatly deteriorated. And this point blends
into anoth~r. Japan simply .has not
the strategic know-how of aviation.
When she does send her bombers
and fighters out in great numbers,
they are no match for Allied power,
man or plane.
There is no question that as Japan's resistance weakens the Allied
striking power is increased. It is
impossible to mention details, of
course, for security reasons and it
would be unwise to assemble known
facts and figures concerning the type
of material manufactured and the
disposition of forces which, taken
together, would indicate clearly
enough how the weight of Allied
might is being distributed.
We can quote the statement of
Prime Minister Curtin of Australia,
for instance, who says that "this
year" British forces in great numbers will be transferred to the Pacific thea rer.
Finally, there is a third factor
which seems to be a hastening of the
end. It is difficult to speak of "morale" in connection with Japan since
the people are told how and what
to think. But the tone of the official
utterances has taken on a decidedly
gloomy note. Even as to the shifts
in command-the fall of the Tojo
cabinet - which might have been
hailed with a cheerful fanfare, the
phrases were grave and grim.
It is also reported, from sources
in touch with Japan's inner politics, that the Jap militarists are
waiting hopefully to see if the Allies
grant enough leniency in their terms
to Germany to justify surrender on
their part. Although it was emphatically denied in Tokyo it is still
believed here that the Japanese representative to the Holy See laid a
tentative peace offer before the
Pope.
Briefly, then, as the conservatively optimistic observers in Washington look at the picture rapidly forming in the Pacific, they see several
factors which heretofore worked toward a long drawn out struggle in
the Far East either removed or altered. First, the theory that the
Allies must fight their way to victory, sea-m ile by sea-mile, island
by island, has been completely exploded. Second, Japan's air force
has been measureably deflated.
Third, the strategy of a blow at the
heart of the empire rather than attrition at its perimeter is now considered a reasonable certainty.

Unlike American movie heroes,
the Japanese film hero usually
doesn't win the heroine in such a
way as to live happily ever after.
Jar::anese movies have a tendency to
end on an unhappy note of sorrow
or frustration with the hero and
heroine being torn apart by some
incident that exalts family duty and
sacrifice above their own personal
desire.

and now her concern that he might
be killed seemed a little outlandish.
Mr. Winkle merely said, "Well,
I'm not dead."
"Wilbert, how do you really feel?
This morning there wasn't time to
find out." Mrs. Winkle gazed at him
doubtfully.
Again, at her hesitancy, at this
suggestion that the upper hand was
being returned to him, Mr. Winkle
had an impulse to remind her of
certain things. And again he refrained, not thinking the urge was
quite decent. But he did protest,
"Amy, don't you look at me like
that."
"Like what?" she asked.
"As if !-that mouse-look," he accused.
She looked abashed. At first Mr.
:Winkle could not accept the fact that
the expression was on her face.
"I didn't mean to," she replied.
She sounded humble.
"I can't help being the way I
am," Mr. Winkle stated.
"Of course, dear. No one can."
Mr. Winkle was amazed. But still
he didn't say anything about the
miracle occurring before his very
eyes. He didn't care to embarrass
Amy.
"I feel," he said in answer to her
previous question, "like taking two
doses for my dyspepsia." He fumbled in his pocket for his pills and
brought them out.
"Some people are coming in tonight," Mrs. Winkle revealed as she
bustled to get dinner. "Just the
folks on the street."
Astounded, Mr. Winkle asked,
"What for?"
"Well, they wanted to see you.
Especially the Pettigrews. Their
boy, Jack, has been called, too. He's
twenty, you know. He'll be going
off with you."
The evening, when it came around,
was something of a combination of
a funeral, a wedding, a family reunion, and a celebration for a person about to leave on a dangerous
expedition.
The Pettigrews were the first to
~rrive. Mrs. Pettigrew was red-eyed
from weeping, and she burst into
new tears when she saw Mr. Winkle.
"They probably won't take you,"
she wept, "but Jack- Jack- they'll
take him, and he's only a baby."
Mr. Pettigrew himself said, "This
is crazy, Winkle. Here's Jack, hardly over sucking his thumbs. And
here's you, old enough to be his father."
Mr. Winkle and Jack eyed each
other. The boy was self-conscious,
as the young are in the presence of
their elders who discuss them. Mr.
Winkle, in his position as an adult,
felt called upon to say something
even though he really had nothing to
say.
"Well, Jack," he told the boy, 'it
looks as if we're being called by our
country."

·

GOES TO WAJ!(
W.N.U.RELEASE

"Yes, sir," Jack said. H~ could
make no more of Mr. Winkle being
drafted along with him than Mr.
Winkle could make of Jack being
selected along with him. Mr. Winkle wished that the boy wouldn't be
quite so respectful.
More people came. They chat..
tered, and gazed curiously at Mrs.
Winkle, as if they couldn't believe
what their eyes saw nor what their
ears heard. Some of them were
earnest about Mr. Winkle's predicament, some wondered, · and others
were amused. Mr. Winkle liked the
last least of all. He didn't see why
people should laugh at him.
Mr. Wescott, their next-door neighbor, a rather pompous individual,
cornered Mr. Winkle and stated, "If
you're the kind of soldier we're going to have, God help us." He stared
at Mr. Winkle as if to ask him how
he ever got himself into this.
Mr. Winkle didn't think this was
very patriotic.
Mr. Wescott, who was prone to tell
anybody all about how anything was
conducted, and who could well afford
to inform Mr. Winkle about his future because he was over forty-five
and not subject to military duty,
went on to say, "Of course, you
know they won't use you as a combatant."
"You don't think so?" Mr. Winkle
asked hopefully.
"Think it out for yourself, man,"
Mr. Wescott lectured. "They'll have
enough young fellows to do the actual fighting. They want men in their
proper places, according to their
abilities. That's why they're calling
you in the first place, so you can
release a fighting man to fight."
Mr. Winkle was encouraged.
"They won't waste you as a killer," Mr. Wescott assured him.
Mr. Winkle didn't know whether
to feel flattered or insulted.
His neighbor looked at him critically, as if gauging him for the first
time. "You wouldn't be any good,
anyway. They'll use you in some
kind of mechanical work."
"Well," said Mr. Winkle, "I could
handle that." His courage took hold
of him at this talk. "But, understand me, if I thought I was capable
of using a gun, I'd do it anywhere
they say."
"No, sir," Mr. Wescott went on,
"you'll never see active service. I
can tell you that. You don't have
to worry about that for a minute."
Mr. Winkle ceased to worry, but
only for the allowed minute, for Mr.
Wescott then looked trougbtful and
amended, "Of course, nrerro!
age are being used for combat in all
the other armie.s, and if things get
to · that stage with us, I suppose
you've got to consider that you
might have to do a little shooting
or bayonet work."
When it was time for their visitors
to leave, they shook Mr. Winkle's
hand as if bidding him goodby before he went into action. Mrs. Pettigrew's tears had dried, but her
perturbation remained. She pleaded of Mr. Winkle, "You'll look after
Jack, won't you?"
Mr. Winkle, despite all his timidity
and ineffectual outer character,
could appreciate the humor in a situation. "I think," he said, "Jack
ought to look after me."
He and Jack glanced at each other, and both smiled. The condemned
men had at least that mutual understanding.
It was nearly eleven before the
last of the guests left. Penelope
came out from the corner where she
had sulked all evening at the invasion of her own peaceful life. Mr.
Winkle, out of habit, took her to
the back yard.
When he came in again he started
for the radio, to turn it on for the
nightly war news broadcast he usually favored. Then he stopped and
didn't go near it, but turned toward the stairs.
"Aren't you going to listen to the
war news?" Mrs. Winkle asked.
"I don't think I will tonight."
"But why-?" Mrs. Winkle began
to speak as if she were the same
person as of before this morning.
But she caught herself and then
said merely, "Oh."
Mr. Winkle felt like pinching himself to be sure he was awake and
that this was Amy showing such
tact and consideration. He smiled
a little, but not so she could see
him, and he decided that it was
very nice indeed to have her this
way.
They went upstairs and there,
while they prepared themselves for
the night, Mrs. Winkle commented
in a small voice that seemed to indicate she had other things to say
but couldn't say them, ''lt was a
nice party, wasn't it?"
"Except," said Mr. Winkle, "I
don't see exactly why it was held."
Mr. Winkle found his imagination
running away with itself until his
mind was possessed of a nightmare.
He saw himself packed into a
troop transport. He had seen picttu·es of how it was done. The
bunks, one on top of another iR many
tiers, with only a narrow aisle between, made the men look like sardines. Across the ocean the ship
throbbed. And then in the night
there was a dull, jarring thud. The
ship shuddered. It began to list.
Its eL;;;nes stopped. Flames rose
and men pushed and fell and
screamed and struck and jumped.
Mr. Winkle was in the water, which
wall covered thickly with oil. The

The Questions

oil caught fire and the flames raced
toward him.
He tried to blot out this picture.
But it came again, and made him
cold all over. He was bathed in
perspiration. He began to s~e
slightly and found he couldn't control it, no matter how much he
tried.
At that he learned how far Amy's
reformation had gone, and how real
it was, and that she was good-hearted all along as he always knew, and
that now he was to become a sol·
dier, she was willing to express her
feelings about it, even if only silently.
Without a word, Mrs. Winkle
turned in the bed beside him. She
slipped a soft warm arm under his
neck and put the other over his
chest, and held him tightly. She
se~ed to understand.
Mr. Winkle was ashamed that she
did, but greatly comforted, too.

per over the windows. He took in
his sign and placed it on the floor
with its face against the wall. In
its place, over the doors, he placed
a small sign saying, "Closed."
He reflected that people who didn't
know his establishment wouldn't
know what was closed because he
had taken in the other sign, but
firurlly decided that this didn't matter in the least.
He was ready t~ leave.
The evening before his departure
he investigated the bag Amy had
packed for him and brought downstairs. In it she had put those few
articles listed in a pamphlet Mr.
Winkle had purchased at a newsstand for guidance.
"Travel light, Mr. Selectee," this
advised. "Don't load up with baggage because you won't have any
use for it. The Army is going to
clothe you, Mr. Selectee, complete
to underwear, socks and handkerchiefs."
Only on one point had Mrs. Winkle deviated from the instructions.
Upon examining her packing, Mr.
Winkle found that she had included
his rubbers. He now took them out.
Firmly, showing a spark of her
ol(\ spirit, Mrs. Winkle put them
b~ck ag:.in, rewrapping them in the
tissue paper he stripped away. "With
1 th€ rubber shortage," she said, "the
Ar uy may not have a pair for every man."
"l don't think they have rubbers
in the Army," Mr. Winkle protested.
"They won't let me wear them.''

picks up the faint echoes of incipient
illness in other parts of the body
has been developed by medic:1l scientists, who are using it to protect
the health of war-plant workers.
The new instrument, portable and
easily operated, flashes signs of trouble long before the patient himself notices any symptoms and before any real damage has been
done.
For centuries physicians have
been listening to heart sounds-first
with the unaided ear and later with
the stethoscope - to diagnose ailments of the heart itself. But the
scientists' apparatus uses the hem·t
only as a sounding board for catching the message of suhtle changes in
the circulation as a whole, changes
which do not necessarily involve actual heart damage.
These disturbanc1s, too slight to
be detected by the electrocard iograph and often too faint even to be
detected by standard blood pressure
measurements, may be caused by
absorption of toxic materials, or by
fatigue, anxiety, colds or infections. !
The heart-sound meter thus provhlcs
a valuable supplement to periodic
blood-pressure scores.

Coal Tar Effective
Repellent for Corn Seed
Coal tar or commercial coal tar
repellents are the best material to
use to prevent crows and pheasants
from pulling corn seedlings or from
digging the seed corn.
Most other home-made repellents
such as turpentine, kerosene, camphor, fish oil, copperas and carbolic acid seriously reduce the germination of tlie seed if enough is
used to keep the birds from eating
the seed, warns William S. Heit of
the Fish and Wild life service, who
is stationed at Cornell University.
A tablespoonful of coal tar is
enough to treat a half-bushel of
corn. The corn should be placet! .in
warm water, drained, and immediately mixed with the coal tar. Then
it should be dried before planting.
The coal tar gives the corn a dark
oily coa~ing, but does not hurt the
germination. In cool or unfavorable
weather it may slow the germination a day or two. Uncovered seed,
especially at the enfls of the rows,
encourages the birds to start digging the seed. Careful seeding will
prevent this. Scarecrows are of no
use against crows in large fields,
and seldom stop damage by pheasants.

Llrna Beans
Pole li/mas take 75 ~:&gt; 90 d11ys tn
mature and since the~· are planted
late, this brings the first harvest
into late summer. From then on the
yield is continuous until frost kills
the vines. The vine growth is abundant, and the dark green leaves
cover a garden fence or trellis with
a mantle of green which forms a
beautiful as well as productive
background for th~ garden picture.
In planting the large seeds of all
limas, it ha;; been fotmd there is a
definite advantage in placing the eye
down. In growth the bean is thrust
out of the ground by a sprout which
develops from this eye, and if the
eye is down the thrust is straight
upward, while otherwise the bean
must sometimes turn over before it
can emerge, and some fail to perform this feat.

Committees for Economic Develop1nent

~

By AL JEDLICKA
R eleased by Western Ne ws pa per Union.

In over 2,000 communities
throughout the United States,
people are laying their own
plans for a return to a peacetime economy when the war
ends and the country's gigantic
armament production ceases.
Although these people are being guided by the Committee for
Economic Development, they
are no trained technicia ns nor
market analysts nor economists
themselves, but just plain Mr.
and Mrs . America familiarizing
themselves with the conditions
peculiar to their communities
and anxious to provide opportunities for its prosperity in the
critical postwar world.
Citizens in towns and cities ranging from hundreds to thousands in
population have grouped to undertake a problem that otherwise might
be cast solely upon the shoulders of
the government, and thus they have
sought to apply democratic principles directly through themselves
rather than through distant public
officials.
Recognizing the great business
possibilities in the postwar world,
and seeking to acquaint the p eople
the country over with them so they
might relieve any distress attending demobilization of the milita ry
establishments and industry, the
Committee for Economic Development, or CEO, was organized in
1942 and began its operations in
1943, with the intention of assisting in the creation of postwar planning groups in communities of more
than 10,000. But with the realization that only through a widespread
organization affecting every economic segment of the country could
any movement be effective, the CED
extended its activities to smaller
cities as well, where the limited
fields offer an even more thorough
application of the plan.
Headed and supported by the nation's biggest businessmen, the
CED makes no bones about its objective of stimulating individual ini-

tiative to assist in the solution of. the
~rave problems which demobiliza;ion will present. But, in pursuing
tts goal, CED's organizers welcome
the backing of. every economic group
within a community: the business:nen, the farmers, labor, public officials and any other persons who
might be interested.
Each City Makes Own Plans.
In proceeding with their work,
CED's organizers insist upon each
!:ommunity developing its own plans,
on the principie that its members
are more familiar with the city's
circumstances than anybody outside
of it might be. CED actively enters the picture through its guidance in organization, the distribution of findings of its expert research
departments, and its establishment
as a clearing house for the exchange
of information gathered through its
country-wide operations.
As an indication of the grass-roots
character of the communal postwar planning, CED's records show
that 35 per cent of the cities organized are under 10,000 population, and
in the typically rural state of South
Dakota, for instance, 130 out of 172
communities engaged in the proiram have less than 1,300 people.
The working of the program may
be best explained by a study of its

actual operation in one of the small
cities, as described by Mr. Hermann
C. Wehmann, CED' s regional manager for the Ninth Federal Reserve
district, embracing the Northwest.
In helping to organize a town, Mr.
Wehmann said, CED representatives
contact some representative member of the community, who then assembles other active citizens to discuss the program. Expenses are
negligible, since the local chamber of commerce, etc., furnish the
headquarters, and financial outlay is
limited to stationery and postage
stamps.
To get an idea of the possible postwar conditions in the community,
various surveys are conducted, Mr.
Weymann continued, with local industries canvassed as to the number of employees they expect they
will be able to hire, and residents
polled as to the different kinds of
merchandise they plan to purchase.
Businessmen then figure on how
many people they will need to service the demand. Surveys also establish plans for postwar public
works to take up any employment
slack.
To provide a solid basis for the
business community to figure on,
residents polled also are asked to
reveal whether they intend to purcha e goods out of curn. income,
installment credit,
;.;s or bank
Through banks, building and loan
asscJcia ors, postal savi'l~s and war
bond sales, fin ancial asse-:.::: of the
community are tabulated, to determine the extent to which postwar activities might be supported.
Albert Lea, Minn., Survey.
Typical of the consumer surveys
upon which businessmen can project their potential needs, Mr. Webmann said, was the one conducted
in the town of Albert Lea with its
population of 12,200, in Freeborn
county with over 31,000 people, in
Minnesota.
The survey showed that residents
of the town expected to buy 1,156
automobiles at $1,217,268, and farmers of the county 1,140 cars at $1,105,800.

People in the town hoped to buy
442 new houses at an average cost
of $4,068, while farmers looked forward to the construction of 150
homes at $3,150 each.
Repairs averaging $514 were

planned for 714 houses in Albert
Lea, while similar work averaging
$900 was anticipated on 540 farm
homes in the county. In addition,
farmers indicated they would build
360 barns at an average cost of
$1,473, and 360 silos at an average
price of $539.
Farmers also expected to purchase 780 tractors averaging $926
each; 810 prefabricated small buildings averaging $566, and 810 electric
services averaging $325.
With businessmen thus able to figure upon their possible employment
needs, and with surveys of local industries determining their future operating prospects, communities can
partly visualize their postwar condition.
New Industries Encouraged.
Towns that may be faced with a
surplus of employables can be encouraged to explore the possibility of.
developing a new industry after consultation with economic experts at
their state universities. In cases
where such development may be desirable, consideration may be given
to some industry which might be
based upon a local agricultural crop.
After extensive field work, Mr.
Wehmann has set up a chart of the
employment prospects of towns
which have undertaken communal

The CED does not overlook the
impor tance of industry quickly reconverting to civilian production to
abs orb th e mass of employables, nor
does it ignore the fact that any
solid stability can be expected unless agriculture is assured an adequat e market at a fair price.
On the question of reconversion,
CED stands for the swift settlement
of cancelled war contracts to provide industry with funds with which
to finance the switch back to civilian
goods. At the end of the war, CED
figures that about 10 billion dollars
of claims will be entered against
the government, of which probably
2 billion dollars will be subject to
dispute.
Government Surplus Sales.
Besides reconversion, CED also
advocates the orderly disposal of
surplus war material, so as not to
repeat the mistakes that followed
marketing of such goods after the
last conflict, with the subsequent
disturbance of normal channels of
production and distribution. In this
respect, the government already has
established an agency for handling
surplus goods, with emphasis placed
upon a maximum return for any
material.
In a recent address, Paul G. Hoffman, chairman of the board of trustees of CED, declared:
"Private business cannot by any
means do the entire job of providing postwar employment. But it is
aware of its obligation to make its
maximum contribution to that end.
With labor and agriculture, it hopes
to see reestablished after this war

I once knew a young director who
stated flatly that "actors are bums."
He reeled off an entire column to

-and there are

of war with their actors in which, or
so it seems, they try to impede their

"strange kind of war" because to
me it's ridiculous to sign a batch of

IN NORMANDY .-One of the things the layman doesn't hear
much about is the ordnance department. In fact it is one of the
branches that even the average soldier is little aware of except
in a vague way.
And yet the war couldn't keep going without it. For ordnance
repairs all the vehicles of an army and furnishes all the ammunition for its guns.

That means we
have many thousands of ordnancemen in Normandy. Their insigne is
a flame coming out of a retortnicknamed in the army "The Flaming Onion."
Ordnance operates the ammunition dumps we have scattered about
the beachhead. But much bigger
than its ammunition mission is ordnance's job of repair. Ordnance has
275,000 items in its catalog of parts,
and the mere catalog itself covers a
20-foot shelf.
In a central headquarters here on
the beachhead a modern filing system housed in big tents keeps records on the number and condition
of 500 major items in actual use on
the beachhead, from tanks to pistols.
We have scores of separate

Electric Motors Long
Lasting if Given Care
Electric motors will give years of
uninterrupted service with very little
care, bnt thnt little care is extremely important.
Mntor bcarings must be lubrica tc~d at definite intervals otherwise neglect mny ruin bearings and
c;1use injury to the motor winding.
Ltght petroleum oils are generally
u~ed for motors with sleeve bearit.gs; soft greasr&gt;s for ball bearings.
The lubricnting device usually indic:JtPs the type of lubricants used.
b11t one's best g:1ide is the instruc·
tion book.
Mutm·s must be kept clean or
t!1rt and dust around coih- and windings. Excess gil must be wiped off,
and the motor hluwn cl\"ar with an
inverted vacuum cleaner. Carbon
tetrachloride will remove oil and
greases.
Burnt out motors are generall:v
caused by overloading, low voltage
too tight belts, or failure uf the start:
ing mechanism. Overloading is
usually cam:Prl by l&lt;tck of lubrica·
tion of the motors or the driven
machine, misadjustment of parts,
blocking of the driven machine as
in the case of a frozen water pump,
or through use of lubricants which
become stiff at low temperatures.
Wax Fireplace
Fireplaces, no matter how well
constructed, seem bound to smoke
under some conditions. The cumulative result on a fireplace framed
with a white painted mantel is to
darken the paint by coating it with
a sooty, adhesive film which may be
resistant to ordinary cleaning. Waxing of the clean white or light-colored woodwork around the fireplace
can be a big aid in keeping the fram·
ing of the fireplace bright and attractive. If the paint is already discolored by the smoke, it should be
cleaned thoroughly and then repainted or enameled. When the job is
thoroughly dry, it should be waxed
with a good grade of wax. When the
waxed surface becomes so impregnated with smoke or soot that it
resists cleaning and needs renewing,
a self-polishing wax can be removed
with warm, soapy water, or liquid
wax can be removed by rubbing
with more liquid wax applied with a
cloth. It is important to remember
that self-polishing wax and liquid
wax are of different compositions
and require different treatment. Care
should be taken to see that the fire
is cut and that the air is free from
ash or dust particles when fresh
paint or wax is beir.g used, and that
the fi1 ' is not startea again until tht·
protec, 'd surface of the white wood.!_01'~ ia ~erfectly dry.

P}{OI&lt;'ESSIONAL MEN

America Leads
George Washington never rode a
wheel. If he had lived until the
bicycle was invented, he would have
been 110 years old. In Washington's
day the United States with its Constitution, its popular vote and its
representative law-making bodies
was laughed at by people who rliscussed it in far-away lands. They
called it a queer government, experiment in a frontier country.
Now look at us.
Last week this column said that
anybody who wanted to change the
American system much was an en·
err.y of humanity, and we promised
to ~ay why. The reason is that
America leads the world in benefitting all mankind. Since George
Washington's day, America has used
freedom that he and his contemporaries protected with the Constitution, to show the world how to live
and make progress.
High Achievement
Mortal man never created anything of more value to the race than
America's system of open competition-Private Enterprise. Out of every 400 people on earth, 25 live in
the United States, only 6.25 percent,
but we send more young people ta
high school and college than all other countries combined. Our farmers
are richer than Solomon. They
never saw a golden sceptre nor a
jeweled crown perhaps, but their
homes and barns hold many useful
things that Solomon would have enjoyed but could not buy.
Things not available to Solomon
which any American can get now
through Private Enterprise are
countless. Imagine: Solomon's personal car was horse-drawn; he had
to guess what time it was on clouc!y
days; he never saw a movie and '-II
the news he ever got was hearsay.
The royal palace was not wired for
electricity, had no telephone and no
radio. The king ate what grew in
Palestine and liked it because transportation and refrigeration were in
the early stages of makeshift.
Notbing Is Perfect
Between Solomon's reign in Canaan and Washington's administration in U. S. A. (call it 2,500 years)
there was surprisingly little gain in
human well-being. But progress was
made in America, where rewards of
Free Enterprise inspired vast numbers o.f people to set their minds
and hands to work doing worth-while
things. Out of it came the culture,
convenience ahd vi~'iolcsome enjoyments of the age in which we live.
America has passed through some
periods that everybody in the country thought were bad. Our political
leaders and industrial barons have
made mistakes which anybody can
see by looking backward. No longer
ago than 1936 when employment was
low, our jobless "unfortunates" drove
to their relief work in private motor
cars. When the American people's
spirit was at ita lowest, our national
Income was larger than that of six
foreign countries-any six.
A Better System
For purposes of comparison with
America's living standards, almost
any citizen of the United States
would select Europe, and rightly so.
Europeans are most like Americans
and best understood by most of us.
I have often contrasted life here
with existence in the Orient where I
spent eleven years, but the diifert llU:3 are too markcCI for com pariliOn. Asia is still in Solowon's time.
Europe has advanced beyond
Washington's day, but wages are
three times as high in America
twice as high even as in Eniland'
which is a highly industrialized
country with an old culture. Working people m America have twice
as much and live twice as welL
Has America had access to more
natural resources than Britain? No
Britain long dominated the world'~
resources.
Nobody boasts tha!
Americans are smarter than the
British. America has only one ad·
vantage, namely, freedom which includes Free Enterprise. The system
can be and is being improved but
no'hing better has evPr been tried.

War Spurs Construction
Of Low-Cost Housing
Mort than 8,300 federally financed
houses now occupied by war workers in 44 public housing projects in
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be cortverted to lowrent housing and slum clearance
purposes after the war, according to
information to the national association of housing officials.
Now operated by local housing
authorities in 23 localities in these
states, the projects originally were
planned for peace-time low-rent
housing. When the war emergency
arose, congress authorized development of the projects for "persons
engaged in national defense activities." Federal loans covered all the
;ost, of such housing.
In the postwar period these projects will be refinanced under provisions of the United States housing
act which authorizes the Federal
public housing authority to lend
local authorities up to 90 per
of the total development cost of
rent housing. The balance
will be raised by local
through the sale of their own
which will be secured by
rents plus annual contrib

'Abclcfl rope ~f is not
commercially in the United
Before the outbreak of wa'r \in
Pacific, practically the entire :pupply
of abaca used in this country came
from the Philippines. Fortur.ately
the United States department of
agriculture had cooperated in the
planting of some abaca experimentally in Panama in 1925 ~.,g_
had found the soil and clim~te~-~f
several Central American countries
well suited to this crop. Although
nothing was done then on a commercial scale, the experimental
plots were carefully maintained. In
1937 and 1938 field plantings of about
2,000 acres were made in Panama.
In 1943 an American commercial
company under contract with the
Defense Supplies corporation undertook to plant 40,000 acres of abaca
in four countries from the plantings
already established. In place of the
laborious hand methods of stripping
the fibers used in the Philippines
this company is now installing mod:
ern equipment, and machinery for
cleaning and processing the fiber.

Dusting Popular
Dusting is becoming popular for
insect and disease control in the
garden because it is easy quick
effective, and the dust com~s read;
to use. One pound of dust covers as
many plants as four gallons of
spray, and a good duster is cheaper'
and easier to opera\C than a
sprayer.
For the home garden a plunger
type hand duster is adequate, if it
has an extension tube and a curved
"underleaf nozzle" for dusting the
undersurface of the leaves without
stooping. The two-quart or one-quart
size is preferable to a smaller one.
If a sprayer is preferred, be sure
to have one with an angle nozzle as
well as a straight nozzle, for spraying the underside of the leaves. Do
not use materials prepared for dusting in spray, but rather materials
specified for mixing with water.
Carn Planting
Farmers may plant 5 to 10 more
acres of corn per day by drilling or
hill-hopping instead of checkrowing
their corn. Under many conditions,
they will secure yields just as high
as with checking if they get the
same plant population per acre, according to some agronomists. Although checkrowing has been the
traditional method of plnntinl! corn
for many years in the COl!! 0~ .t and
is still an important method in fields
heavily infested with weeds, drilling
or hill-dropping corn has some decided advantages. Studies show that
50 per cent of the time in the field
when checkrowing corn is lost in
turning, moving the wire, and filling
hoppers. Much of this lost time can
be put to use for work in drilling.
When corn is planted on the contour
on sloping fields, drilling or hilldropping is the only satisfactory method.

Tetany Threat During
Early Weeks of Grazing
Green pastures provide excellent
feed for cattle, but livestock owners
should be on the lookout for symptoms of grass tetany during the first
two or three weeks of grazing, according to the department of animal
pa~ho_logy and hygiene, University of
Illmo1s college of agriculture.
Affected animals are usually nervous, restless, have an unsteady gait,
often froth at the mouth and usually
develop convulsions. The disease
seems to develop most often in cattle
turned on rye, wheat or barley pastures, but apparently animals may
be stricken that are grazing on any
rapidly growing grass, particularly
if the pasture has been heavily fertilized.
Prompt treatment by the veterinarian in the early stages may effect a cure-delay often ends in the
death of affected animals. Treated
animals should not he excited, and
feed should be limited to dry hay.
Keeping the catt:e out of the pasture
at night during the first two or three
weeks and feeding some hay, especially if the rainfall is heavy, is recommended for the prevention of the
disease.

Lettuce and beet seed may be
sovm directly in the ground, but if
plants can be obtained gardeners
can have beet greens and lettuce
two or three weeks earlier by setting plants started indoors.
The first step in transplanting is
to block out the plants. With an old
knife cut the soil in the flat lengthwise and crosswise between the
rows so that each plant can be lifted
with a block of soil attached. Blocking out plants leaves most of thesmall roots undisturbed and the
plants start growth more rapidly
than if pulled with little soil on the
roots.
In marking the places for digging
holes for the plants, make sure they
have enough space. Cabbage and
broccoli need about 18 inches between plants; lettuce, 8 to 12 inches,
anrl beets, 1 to 3 inches. Dig holes
with a trowel or spade and set the
plants a little deeper than they had
been growing in the flat. Pack the
soil firmly around the roots
draw loose soil over the surface.
Early in May the soil is usually
moist enough so the transplants need
no watering. If the ground is dry,
pour a cupful of water into each
hole before the plants arc set.

Discovery of the ruins of two cities in the jungle country at Mexico's waistline-the Isthmus of Tehuantepec-was announced by Dr.
Matthew W. Stirling, leader of an
expedition sent out jointly by the
Geographic society and the Smithsonian institution.
The smaller of the two cities, Dr.
Stirling reported, apparently was
abandoned more than 200 years ago
during the colonial era. The site is
now marked by numerous stone platforms reached by small stone stairways. The larger community is
believed to have been an ancient
ceremonial center. Its remains consist of a group of large mounds,
all faced with squared stones. Highest of the mounds reaches 50 feet
and the largest is nearly 600 feet
long. One of the features of the
ceremonial city is a well-preserved
ball court, a large rectangular space
paved with flat stones. Its four
sides are inclosed by embankments,
also faced with stone. On this court
was played a game resembling both
modern basketball and handball.
The region in which the ruins
were discovered lies more than
three days' journey from the nearest human habitation. The soil, now
choked with jungle growth, is fertile, Dr. Stirling said, and at one
time probably supported a heavy
population.

Record Taxes Paid by
Corporations in 1943
Taxes paid by corporations in the
United States in 1943 were the
largest on record, having risen to
$14,733,000,000 from $860,000,000 in
the prewar year of 1938, according
to the Alexander Hamilton institute.
In addition, raw material and labor
costs last year reached new high
levels for the war period.
Nevertheless, due partly to higher
selling prices but chiefly to a record
large volume of business, corporate
profits in 1943 reached the highest
figure not only for the war period
but also for the past 15-year period,
begir,ning with the predepression
year of 1929 which is as far back as
records"are available.
Corporate profits after taxes
amounted to $8,938,000,000 in 1943 as
compared with profits of $1,658,000,000 in the prewar year of 1938, with
a deficit of $3,646,000,000 at the bottom of the depression in 1932 &lt;me.
with profits of $7,194,000,000 in 19!'9
when the prosp'e rity period of .he
20's was at its peak. Profits in 1943

Food Conservation
By careful buying, storing and
preparation, homemakers can cut
the tremendous waste of food.
When the housewife goes to market she should buy the abundant
foods which generally are of better
quality and less expensive. She also
should buy only what she needs and
can use and what her family likes
and will eat. Careful storing of food
is also important in cutting waste .
Dairy products and meats should
be stored clean, cold and covered
the ice box should not be overload:
ed, packaged foods should be inspected regularly and a daily food
inventory is practical.
Poor preparation is responsible for
much food waste. Measure carefully, don't cook more than you need,
learn to make leftovers appetizing
don't overcook and don't serve to~
much.

Plywood Adhesive
Resin adhesives have become well
established in the plywood industry,
during this last 10 years, and have
been instrumental in extending plywood utilization into many new
fields, from which the limitations of
the earlier glues had barred it. The
waterproofness and high moisture
resistance nf the resin adhesives
have been outstanding advantages to
the plywood consumer, and the short
time interval required for completing the heat-pressure bond have been
a substantial aid to the producers
of plywood.
After the close of the war it can
1be confide~tly predicted that the advantages ~f synthetic resin adhesives will continue to broaden the
field of plywood applications into an
increasing number of civilian products. The adhesive characteristics
developed under the stress of war
can be more fully utilized and augmented in the indus'\rial era that
will characterize the peace, which
all fondly hope will be enduring.

With the harassed Germans holding down British gains on the eastern end of the Normandy beachhead,
U. S. troops unloosed a powerful assault on the western sector to break
through the Nazis' first-line defenses
and force an enemy withdrawal
along a 40-mile front.
With heavy bombers preparing the
ground for the big offensive with an
earth-shaking attack that buried
many of the German soldiers and
showered dirt over their guns, U. S.
armored forces then rode into battle to exploit the breach in the defenses. As the enemy pulled out,
U. S. fighters and fighter-bombers
swooped low to shoot up the retreating columns.
On the eastern end of the front,
Nazi Marshal Rommel threw in a
succession of counter-attacks to curtail the British advance south of
Caen, with fighting see-sawing as
one side would go into action when
the force of the other's initial assault had been worn off.

Bringing all of their superior firepower into play, U. S. forces in the
far Pacific continued to tighten their
foothold on Japan's inner ring of defenses around the Marianas islands,
while farther to the south in New
Guinea desperate enemy detachments tried futilely to crack the iron
ring General MacArthur has been
fastening about them.
As big U. S. naval guns tore into
enemy emplacements inland to supplement heavy artillery fire, U. S.
troops bore down on Tinian island in
the Marianas, while other American
units broke up frantic Jap counterattacks to consolidate their hold
on Guam, one of the first U. S.
possessions to fall to the enemy
after Pearl Harbor.
By establishing beachheads all
along the northern New Guinea
coast, General MacArthur succeeded in trapping thousands of J apanese troops in between, and many of
these were attempting to upset the
American lines before the steel
noose could be drawn around them
tighter.

U.S. LAND:
Disposal Program
Government decision to auction off
8,000,000 acres of surplus farm land
originally required for war purposes, has created a mild tempest in
Washington, D. C., with the Farmers' Union insisting on the Farm Security administration' s handling of
the disposal as part of its tenantpurchasing program.
Under plans of Surplus Property
Administrator William L. Clayton,
the Reconstruction Finance corporation is to supervise the program,
with appraisals submitted by local
experts; sales made as promptly as
possible without disrupting the market; former owners given opportunity to repurchase sites, and tracts
broken up into individual units.
Spearheading the Farmers' Union
opposition, President James G. Patton declared that Clayton's plan
would lead to dominance of the program by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, with control
over permanent resources by big interests.
Of the $59,004,006 worth of surplus
property disposed of up to mid-July,
no real estate was included. Aircraft and aircraft equipment made
up the bulk of the sales, the RFC
reported.

MYSTERY STORY

the German air force. And as Nazi
fighter-defense dwindled, so the
weight of sheer numbers reduced
the effectiveness of German antiaircraft defense and offense, due to
the bombing of her plane factories
and plane-part factories and to the
destruction of her pilots. Germany's
next greatest weakness is lack of
gas and oil. This has been caused
by the destruction (by the Allied air
force again) of oil wells, gasoline
refineries and synthetic oil plants.
Proofs of the effects of this born bing are not limited to photographs
showing the effect of Allied air raids
on ball-bearing plants, on the Ploesti
oil wells, on the synthetic oil plants
and the refineries. It is shown in
the German tanks and other war vehicles in perfect condition abandoned and captured because they
ran out of fuel.
Raids, really shake-down cruises
of the giant B-29s directed against
Japanese industrial plants, have just
begun.
Japan is already suffering from
shortages of essential materials. Her
great stolen storehouses of the Philippines and the Dutch Indies are a
long way from home. The transportation problem is a terrible one
-Japanese shipping has been subjected to terrific losses by our submarines and planes.

Distances Shrink in
Far Pacific Warfare
Is Japan in any better position to
resist air attack than Germany?
The answer seems to be "no." Her
greatest defense is distance, and distances in the Pacific theater have
shrunk at a speed far greater than
most people dreamed was possible.
Japan's next defense - fighter
planes-has suffered in greater proportion than was expected. The
quality, as well as the quantity of
Jap planes has fallen off so that
Japan has become stingy in her
use of fighters as the Germans. The
quality of her pilots has greatly deteriorated. And this point blends
into anoth~r. Japan simply .has not
the strategic know-how of aviation.
When she does send her bombers
and fighters out in great numbers,
they are no match for Allied power,
man or plane.
There is no question that as Japan's resistance weakens the Allied
striking power is increased. It is
impossible to mention details, of
course, for security reasons and it
would be unwise to assemble known
facts and figures concerning the type
of material manufactured and the
disposition of forces which, taken
together, would indicate clearly
enough how the weight of Allied
might is being distributed.
We can quote the statement of
Prime Minister Curtin of Australia,
for instance, who says that "this
year" British forces in great numbers will be transferred to the Pacific thea rer.
Finally, there is a third factor
which seems to be a hastening of the
end. It is difficult to speak of "morale" in connection with Japan since
the people are told how and what
to think. But the tone of the official
utterances has taken on a decidedly
gloomy note. Even as to the shifts
in command-the fall of the Tojo
cabinet - which might have been
hailed with a cheerful fanfare, the
phrases were grave and grim.
It is also reported, from sources
in touch with Japan's inner politics, that the Jap militarists are
waiting hopefully to see if the Allies
grant enough leniency in their terms
to Germany to justify surrender on
their part. Although it was emphatically denied in Tokyo it is still
believed here that the Japanese representative to the Holy See laid a
tentative peace offer before the
Pope.
Briefly, then, as the conservatively optimistic observers in Washington look at the picture rapidly forming in the Pacific, they see several
factors which heretofore worked toward a long drawn out struggle in
the Far East either removed or altered. First, the theory that the
Allies must fight their way to victory, sea-m ile by sea-mile, island
by island, has been completely exploded. Second, Japan's air force
has been measureably deflated.
Third, the strategy of a blow at the
heart of the empire rather than attrition at its perimeter is now considered a reasonable certainty.

Unlike American movie heroes,
the Japanese film hero usually
doesn't win the heroine in such a
way as to live happily ever after.
Jar::anese movies have a tendency to
end on an unhappy note of sorrow
or frustration with the hero and
heroine being torn apart by some
incident that exalts family duty and
sacrifice above their own personal
desire.

and now her concern that he might
be killed seemed a little outlandish.
Mr. Winkle merely said, "Well,
I'm not dead."
"Wilbert, how do you really feel?
This morning there wasn't time to
find out." Mrs. Winkle gazed at him
doubtfully.
Again, at her hesitancy, at this
suggestion that the upper hand was
being returned to him, Mr. Winkle
had an impulse to remind her of
certain things. And again he refrained, not thinking the urge was
quite decent. But he did protest,
"Amy, don't you look at me like
that."
"Like what?" she asked.
"As if !-that mouse-look," he accused.
She looked abashed. At first Mr.
:Winkle could not accept the fact that
the expression was on her face.
"I didn't mean to," she replied.
She sounded humble.
"I can't help being the way I
am," Mr. Winkle stated.
"Of course, dear. No one can."
Mr. Winkle was amazed. But still
he didn't say anything about the
miracle occurring before his very
eyes. He didn't care to embarrass
Amy.
"I feel," he said in answer to her
previous question, "like taking two
doses for my dyspepsia." He fumbled in his pocket for his pills and
brought them out.
"Some people are coming in tonight," Mrs. Winkle revealed as she
bustled to get dinner. "Just the
folks on the street."
Astounded, Mr. Winkle asked,
"What for?"
"Well, they wanted to see you.
Especially the Pettigrews. Their
boy, Jack, has been called, too. He's
twenty, you know. He'll be going
off with you."
The evening, when it came around,
was something of a combination of
a funeral, a wedding, a family reunion, and a celebration for a person about to leave on a dangerous
expedition.
The Pettigrews were the first to
~rrive. Mrs. Pettigrew was red-eyed
from weeping, and she burst into
new tears when she saw Mr. Winkle.
"They probably won't take you,"
she wept, "but Jack- Jack- they'll
take him, and he's only a baby."
Mr. Pettigrew himself said, "This
is crazy, Winkle. Here's Jack, hardly over sucking his thumbs. And
here's you, old enough to be his father."
Mr. Winkle and Jack eyed each
other. The boy was self-conscious,
as the young are in the presence of
their elders who discuss them. Mr.
Winkle, in his position as an adult,
felt called upon to say something
even though he really had nothing to
say.
"Well, Jack," he told the boy, 'it
looks as if we're being called by our
country."

·

GOES TO WAJ!(
W.N.U.RELEASE

"Yes, sir," Jack said. H~ could
make no more of Mr. Winkle being
drafted along with him than Mr.
Winkle could make of Jack being
selected along with him. Mr. Winkle wished that the boy wouldn't be
quite so respectful.
More people came. They chat..
tered, and gazed curiously at Mrs.
Winkle, as if they couldn't believe
what their eyes saw nor what their
ears heard. Some of them were
earnest about Mr. Winkle's predicament, some wondered, · and others
were amused. Mr. Winkle liked the
last least of all. He didn't see why
people should laugh at him.
Mr. Wescott, their next-door neighbor, a rather pompous individual,
cornered Mr. Winkle and stated, "If
you're the kind of soldier we're going to have, God help us." He stared
at Mr. Winkle as if to ask him how
he ever got himself into this.
Mr. Winkle didn't think this was
very patriotic.
Mr. Wescott, who was prone to tell
anybody all about how anything was
conducted, and who could well afford
to inform Mr. Winkle about his future because he was over forty-five
and not subject to military duty,
went on to say, "Of course, you
know they won't use you as a combatant."
"You don't think so?" Mr. Winkle
asked hopefully.
"Think it out for yourself, man,"
Mr. Wescott lectured. "They'll have
enough young fellows to do the actual fighting. They want men in their
proper places, according to their
abilities. That's why they're calling
you in the first place, so you can
release a fighting man to fight."
Mr. Winkle was encouraged.
"They won't waste you as a killer," Mr. Wescott assured him.
Mr. Winkle didn't know whether
to feel flattered or insulted.
His neighbor looked at him critically, as if gauging him for the first
time. "You wouldn't be any good,
anyway. They'll use you in some
kind of mechanical work."
"Well," said Mr. Winkle, "I could
handle that." His courage took hold
of him at this talk. "But, understand me, if I thought I was capable
of using a gun, I'd do it anywhere
they say."
"No, sir," Mr. Wescott went on,
"you'll never see active service. I
can tell you that. You don't have
to worry about that for a minute."
Mr. Winkle ceased to worry, but
only for the allowed minute, for Mr.
Wescott then looked trougbtful and
amended, "Of course, nrerro!
age are being used for combat in all
the other armie.s, and if things get
to · that stage with us, I suppose
you've got to consider that you
might have to do a little shooting
or bayonet work."
When it was time for their visitors
to leave, they shook Mr. Winkle's
hand as if bidding him goodby before he went into action. Mrs. Pettigrew's tears had dried, but her
perturbation remained. She pleaded of Mr. Winkle, "You'll look after
Jack, won't you?"
Mr. Winkle, despite all his timidity
and ineffectual outer character,
could appreciate the humor in a situation. "I think," he said, "Jack
ought to look after me."
He and Jack glanced at each other, and both smiled. The condemned
men had at least that mutual understanding.
It was nearly eleven before the
last of the guests left. Penelope
came out from the corner where she
had sulked all evening at the invasion of her own peaceful life. Mr.
Winkle, out of habit, took her to
the back yard.
When he came in again he started
for the radio, to turn it on for the
nightly war news broadcast he usually favored. Then he stopped and
didn't go near it, but turned toward the stairs.
"Aren't you going to listen to the
war news?" Mrs. Winkle asked.
"I don't think I will tonight."
"But why-?" Mrs. Winkle began
to speak as if she were the same
person as of before this morning.
But she caught herself and then
said merely, "Oh."
Mr. Winkle felt like pinching himself to be sure he was awake and
that this was Amy showing such
tact and consideration. He smiled
a little, but not so she could see
him, and he decided that it was
very nice indeed to have her this
way.
They went upstairs and there,
while they prepared themselves for
the night, Mrs. Winkle commented
in a small voice that seemed to indicate she had other things to say
but couldn't say them, ''lt was a
nice party, wasn't it?"
"Except," said Mr. Winkle, "I
don't see exactly why it was held."
Mr. Winkle found his imagination
running away with itself until his
mind was possessed of a nightmare.
He saw himself packed into a
troop transport. He had seen picttu·es of how it was done. The
bunks, one on top of another iR many
tiers, with only a narrow aisle between, made the men look like sardines. Across the ocean the ship
throbbed. And then in the night
there was a dull, jarring thud. The
ship shuddered. It began to list.
Its eL;;;nes stopped. Flames rose
and men pushed and fell and
screamed and struck and jumped.
Mr. Winkle was in the water, which
wall covered thickly with oil. The

The Questions

oil caught fire and the flames raced
toward him.
He tried to blot out this picture.
But it came again, and made him
cold all over. He was bathed in
perspiration. He began to s~e
slightly and found he couldn't control it, no matter how much he
tried.
At that he learned how far Amy's
reformation had gone, and how real
it was, and that she was good-hearted all along as he always knew, and
that now he was to become a sol·
dier, she was willing to express her
feelings about it, even if only silently.
Without a word, Mrs. Winkle
turned in the bed beside him. She
slipped a soft warm arm under his
neck and put the other over his
chest, and held him tightly. She
se~ed to understand.
Mr. Winkle was ashamed that she
did, but greatly comforted, too.

he investigated the bag Amy had
packed for him and brought downstairs. In it she had put those few
articles listed in a pamphlet Mr.
Winkle had purchased at a newsstand for guidance.
"Travel light, Mr. Selectee," this
advised. "Don't load up with baggage because you won't have any
use for it. The Army is going to
clothe you, Mr. Selectee, complete
to underwear, socks and handkerchiefs."
Only on one point had Mrs. Winkle deviated from the instructions.
Upon examining her packing, Mr.
Winkle found that she had included
his rubbers. He now took them out.
Firmly, showing a spark of her
ol(\ spirit, Mrs. Winkle put them
b~ck ag:.in, rewrapping them in the
tissue paper he stripped away. "With
1 th€ rubber shortage," she said, "the
Ar uy may not have a pair for every man."
"l don't think they have rubbers
in the Army," Mr. Winkle protested.
"They won't let me wear them.''

illness in other parts of the body
has been developed by medic:1l scientists, who are using it to protect
the health of war-plant workers.
The new instrument, portable and
easily operated, flashes signs of trouble long before the patient himself notices any symptoms and before any real damage has been
done.
For centuries physicians have
been listening to heart sounds-first
with the unaided ear and later with
the stethoscope - to diagnose ailments of the heart itself. But the
scientists' apparatus uses the hem·t
only as a sounding board for catching the message of suhtle changes in
the circulation as a whole, changes
which do not necessarily involve actual heart damage.
These disturbanc1s, too slight to
be detected by the electrocard iograph and often too faint even to be
detected by standard blood pressure
measurements, may be caused by
absorption of toxic materials, or by
fatigue, anxiety, colds or infections. !
The heart-sound meter thus provhlcs
a valuable supplement to periodic
blood-pressure scores.

Coal Tar Effective
Repellent for Corn Seed
Coal tar or commercial coal tar
repellents are the best material to
use to prevent crows and pheasants
from pulling corn seedlings or from
digging the seed corn.
Most other home-made repellents
such as turpentine, kerosene, camphor, fish oil, copperas and carbolic acid seriously reduce the germination of tlie seed if enough is
used to keep the birds from eating
the seed, warns William S. Heit of
the Fish and Wild life service, who
is stationed at Cornell University.
A tablespoonful of coal tar is
enough to treat a half-bushel of
corn. The corn should be placet! .in
warm water, drained, and immediately mixed with the coal tar. Then
it should be dried before planting.
The coal tar gives the corn a dark
oily coa~ing, but does not hurt the
germination. In cool or unfavorable
weather it may slow the germination a day or two. Uncovered seed,
especially at the enfls of the rows,
encourages the birds to start digging the seed. Careful seeding will
prevent this. Scarecrows are of no
use against crows in large fields,
and seldom stop damage by pheasants.

Llrna Beans
Pole li/mas take 75 ~:&gt; 90 d11ys tn
mature and since the~· are planted
late, this brings the first harvest
into late summer. From then on the
yield is continuous until frost kills
the vines. The vine growth is abundant, and the dark green leaves
cover a garden fence or trellis with
a mantle of green which forms a
beautiful as well as productive
background for th~ garden picture.
In planting the large seeds of all
limas, it ha;; been fotmd there is a
definite advantage in placing the eye
down. In growth the bean is thrust
out of the ground by a sprout which
develops from this eye, and if the
eye is down the thrust is straight
upward, while otherwise the bean
must sometimes turn over before it
can emerge, and some fail to perform this feat.

Bergman said to me one day outside
the sound stage at Selznick's studio
while Allred Hitchcock was filming
''Spellbound.''
The actors in his pictures will always tell you that Hitch gives the
best performance of any one on the
set, just like Lubitsch. And the' 'Hitchcock
touch"
or the "Lubitsch
touch" has made
their pictures a
"must see" with
millions. Ritchie's
1uips and drolleries make smart
dinner conversation for Hollywood's duller
souls.
Alfred Hitchcock
And yet he told
me the other day
then was nothing extraordinary
abo~~ the suspense-packed pictures
he makes. What passed for inspiration with him was observationwatching what actually happens,
filming only what could happen.
We were in the living room of
his Bel-Air home, looking through
the window at golfers passing on the
course a hundred yards distant. I'd
gone up to welcome him back from
England. I wanted to hear how the
Hitchcock technique had been applied to propaganda pictures he directed over there.
He started right off by sa~ing that
one of these pictures wasn t propaganda at all. " 'Bon Voyage,'" he
explained, "was just a way of saying thanks to the French people
and the underground for all they'd
risked in helping so many of our
boys escape during the occupation.
It's a three-reel feature that tells
the true story of the escape oi an
English flier and assistance given
him."
"'Bon Voyage,' " he said pridefully, "was _well received." .

By Ernie Pyle

IN THE MARIANAS ISLANDS.-The B-29 is unquestionably
a wonderful airplane. Outside of the famous old Douglas DC-3
workhorse, I've never heard pilots so unanimous in their praise
of an airplane.
I took my first ride in one the other day. No, I didn't go on a
mission to Japan. We've been through all that before. I don't
believe in people going on missions unless they have to. And as
before, the pilots here all agreed®•._WI_._th_m_e_._ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
But I went along on a little practice bombing trip of an hour and a
half. The pilot
was Maj. Gerald
Robinson, who
lives in our hut.
His wife, inci·
dentally, lives at
123 South Girard street, Albu:Iuerque, N. M.,
:m the very same
street as our
white house.
I sat on a box
Ernle Pyle
between the pilots
both on the takeoff and for the landing, and as much as I've flown, that
was still a thrill. These islands are
all relatively small, and you're no
;ooner off the ground than you're
out over water, and that feels funny.
If the air is a little rough, it gives
you a very odd sensation sitting
way up there in the nose. For the
B-29 is so big that, instead of
bumping or dropping, the nose
has a "willowy" motion, sort of like
sitting out on the end of a green
limb when it's swaying around.
The B-29 carries a crew of 11.
Some of them sit up in the
cockpit and the compartment just
behind it. Some others sit in a compartment near the tail. The tail
gunner sits all alone, way back
there in the lonely tail turret.
The body of the B-29 is so taken
up with gas tanks and bomb racks
that there's normally no way to
get from front to rear compartments. So the manufacturers solved
that by building a tunnel into the
plane, right along the rooftop.

The tunnel is round, just big
enough to crawl in on your hands
and knees, and is padded with blue
cloth. It's more than 30 feet long,
and the crew members crawl back
and forth through it all the time.
Maj. Russ Cheever reported that
he accomplished the impossible the
other day by turning around in the
tunnel.
On missions, some of the crew
get back in this tunnel and sleep for
an hour or so. But a lot of them
:::an't stand to do that. I've heard
::ombat crewmen bring up the sub·
ject a half dozen times. They say
they get claustrophobia in the tunn.el.
There used to be some sleeping
bunks on the B-29, but they've been
taken out, and now there's hardly
even room to lie down on the floor.
A fellow does get sleepy on a 14hour mission. Most of the pilots take
naps in their seats. One pilot I know
turned the plane over to his copilot
and went back to the tunnel for
"a little nap," and didn't return for
six hours, just before they hit the
:::oast of Japan. They laughingly
say he goes to sleep before he gets
his wheels up.
The B-29 is a very stable plane
and hardly anybody ever gets sick
even in rough weather. The boys
smoke in the plane, and the mess
hall gives them a small lunch of
sandwiches and oranges and cookies
to eat on the way.
On mission days all flying crewmen, even those not going on the
mission, get all the fried eggs they
want for breakfast. That's the only
day they have eggs.
The crewmen wear their regular
clothes on missions, usually coveralls. They don't have to wear heavy
fleece-lined clothes and all that
bulky gear, because the cabin is
heated. They do slip on their heavy
steel "flak vests" as they approach
the target.
They don't have to wear oxygen
masks except when they're over the
target, for the cabin is sealed and
"pressurized" - simulating a constant altitude of 8,000 feet.
Once in a great while one of the
plexiglass "blisters" where the gunners sit will blow out from the
strong pressure inside, and then
everybody better grab his oxygen
mask in an awful hurry. The crew
always wears the oxygen mask
over the target, because a shell
through the plane "depressurizes"
the cabin instantly, and they'd pass
out.

The boys speak frequently of the
unbelievably high winds they hit at
high altitudes over Japan. It's nothing unusual to have a 150-milean-hour wind, and my nephew, Jack
Bales, said that one day his plane
hit a wind of 250 miles an hour.

• • •
There are five officers and six enlisted men on the crew of a B-29.
All the enlisted men of a /crew stay
in the same hut, because that's the
way the boys want it. Thus there
are usually three crews of six men
each in a Quonset hut.
"My" crew is a grand bunch of
boys, as I suppose most of them
are. They have trouble sleeping the
night before a mission, and they're
tense before the takeoff. As one
of them laughingly said at the plane
just before takeoff one morning
"How do you get rid of that empty
feeling in your chest?"
But they relax and expand and
practically float away with good
feeling once they get back and have
another one safely under their belts.
The six enlisted men of "my"
crew are Sgts. Joe Corcoran of
Woodhaven, L. I.; Fauad Smith of
Des Moines, N. M. (near Raton);
Joe McQuade of Gallup, N. M.; J ohn
Devaney of Columbus, Ohio; Norbert Springman of Wilmont, Minn.,
and Eugene Florio of Chicago.
Springman and Florio are radio
men, and all the others are gunners.
Sergeant Corcoran is the oldest
of the crew. The first time I walked
into their hut he called from his
cot, "Hi Ernie, the last time I saw
you was in the Stork club."
"But I've never been in the Stork
club in my life," I said.
So we puzzled over that a while,
and finally decided it must have
been two other guys, or else I'm
living a double life which I don't
know about.

Sa,rge' Continue•

Sergeatl.t Corcoran was a chiropractor before the war, and still
gives the boys amateur treatments. He practiced for three years
at Jamaica, L. I., and had a fine
business worked up. I asked him
how a chiropractor ever wound up to
be a side-gunner on a B-29, and he
said damned if he knew.
It's unusual to find two men from
thinly populated New Mexico on the
same crew. Smith and McQuade
never knew each other until they
met on this crew, and then it turned
out they had joined the army the
very same day. Now they are great
buddies.
McQuade was a fireman on the
Santa Fe, and Smith owned a grocery store, but finally had to sell
it. They'd just had letters saying it was below zero back home,
and they were at least thankful to be
away from that.
Both the boys have had experiences. McQuade made two trips to
the Aleutians as a gunner on a
ship. And Smith is serving his
second tour of aerial combat overseas.
Smith was in the South Pacific
in the early days, and flew 53 missions as gunner on B-17s. He has
all his missions painted on the
back of his leather flying-jacketyellow bombs for the South Pacific,
and red ones for Japan. He says
he's only got room for 27 more missions on his jacket, and then he'll
just have to quit.
I asked Sergeant Smith if he hated
to come back overseas as badly as
I did.
"Twice as bad," he said.
"You couldn't."
"Well, as bad then," he said. "But
I haven't griped so much about it
since we got here. It's not near as
bad as I expected. In fact we're
living as good here as we did in
America."
Sergeant Smith's odd first nameFauad- is Syrian. He is growing a
funny little rectangular goatee,
black as coal. I asked him how long
he was going to keep it. He said,
"Probably only until the colonel
happens to notice it."
Smith and Corcoran are the only
two sergeants on the crew who
are married. Both their wives are
living temporarily in California.

B-29 Takeoff an Exciting Spectacle
I've always felt the great 500-mile
auto race at Indianapolis to be the
most intriguing event - in terms
of human suspense - that I've
ever known. The start of a B-29 mission to Tokyo, from the spectator's standpoint, is almost a duplicate of the Indianapolis race.
On mission day people are out
early to see the start. Soldiers in
groups sit on favorite high spots

around the field- on tops of buildings, on tops of bulldozers along
the runway, on mounds that give a
better view- and even a few bold
souls stand at the very end of the
runway to snap amateur pictures.
As the planes taxi out, it's just
li~ cars at Indianapolis leaving
their pits to line up for the start.
You wave farewell and then scamper to a good vantage point.

Mrs. Wigton was convinced that
her lucky number was seven.
"It's extraordinary," she said,
"how seven has dominated my
life. I was born on the seventh
day of the month, and had seven
sisters."
"Married on a seventh?" asked
I her friend.
"Well, I was married on June
twenty-eighth, really, but it's still
a seven-seven times four. And
only yesterday I had an enormous
bit of luck."
"Surely," said her friend, "yesterday was the thirteenth?"
"Oh, yes, isn't it wonderful?
Seven again. Seven and six are
thirteen, aren't they?"

Hitch has his own theory about

do you get all that expensive music

point of tension? Let's do a scene:
We're sitting in this room talking,
when bang! just like that a burglar enters and points a gun at us.
"We freeze. We don't move or
breathe. Certainly we don't talk. At
any dramatic moment like this
there comes a hush. When the danger
is over everybody starts jabbering.
It's a release to talk, they talk
louder, laugh louder.
"So in a psychological mystery
there are appropriate intervals at
which I want the music dramatically stopped-with a hush!
"Only 'Spellbound' isn't just a
mystery story. It's a love story.
There's nothing unusual about it. It's
based on truth, psychiatric truth." •
"What about 'Foreign Correspondent' and 'Lifeboat'?" I asked.
"Same thing. In 'Foreign Correspondent' it was a man hammering
away at events, and the woman
didn't help things. There isn't anything in there that couldn't happen.
'Lifeboat' is the same way."

Some More Plans
"After 'Spellbound,' what?" I
wanted to know.
" 'Notorious,'" he said. "Just finished working on the script with
Ben Becht."
Then he went on to tell what a
great guy Ben is. Says they collaborate so well that dialog becomes
a kind of verbal shorthand, almost
mental telepathy.
Hitch feels his pictures are finished the day shooting begins. He
says from then on it's a matter ot
interpreting what has been created,
and that it's possible to get into the
finished film only about 75 per cent
of what the mind has pictured.
In a world where 6 foot invisible
rabbits can star in Broadway shows
and in which the true story of an
English flier's escape from occupied
France furnishes material for a
Hitchcock chiller I can believe that
there is nothing unusual in a Hitchcock picture- nothing, that is, except the flair of the man who makes
'em.

Purely vegetable-a combi·
nation or 10 vegetable ingre-

In 1944 the average civilian ate
143 pounds of meat. This year the
outlook per civilian is estimated at
about 134 pounds per person.
It doesn't take much mental arithmetic to make us see that we'll be
doing with less
meat this year
than before-but
then, you've probably already noticed that trend
at your butcher's.
As a nation
we're greater
pork eaters than beef eaters, says a
recent survey made by the government, but that will have to change
at least for this year. Pork loins,
hams, shoulders, spareribs and bacon will continue to be scarce. The
higher grades of bee! are going to
the armed forces, while lower grades
of beef, though not abundant, will be
more abundant. Veal supplies are
quite scarce as are the top grades
of lamb.
All of this means one thing for
Mrs. America. She will get less
meat, and if she wants to get meaty
flavor it will have to be stretched.
If she doesn't do that, she will have
a few meals with meat and others
without.
There are good ways to stretch
meat - old-fashioned ways like
dumplings, bread dressings and
stuffings, rice, macaroni, noodles and
spaghetti. For those of you who
choose having meat "as is" in your
menus, there are delightful fish
dishes to fill in the days when meat
is .unobtainable.
When you want those precious red
points to do the most work for you,
buy the low-point cuts and dress
them up with herbs, flavorful gravies
and colorful vegetables. H ere's a
lineup of recipes you'll well appreciate these days:
•Lamb Stew With Dumplings.
(Serves 6)
2 pounds lamb
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lard
6 small potatoes
6 carrots
6 small onions
1 cup water
Cut lamb breast, flank or neck
meat into 11h inch cubes. Dredge in
flour, then brown
well on all sides
in hot lard. Season, add water
and simmer l,lh
hours. Add vegetables. Cover and
continue cooking
until vegetables are tender. Drop
dumplings on top of meat and vegetables. Cover and cook without removing lid for 15 minutes.

2 cups silted flour
4 teaspoons baking powder

Lynn Says;
Meat Needs Stretching: Bread
and cracker crumbs are natural
for extending ground meats like
lamb, beef, pork or veal. Use for
meat loaves and patties.
Vegetables should start coming
into their own for stretching
stews, short ribs, roasts, etc.
Carrots, onions, potatoes, green
beans, tomatoes and cabbage are
all mighty fine.
Don't neglect such dishes as
meat pies with biscuit or mashed
potato crusts. The meat mixture
may be extended with gravy
and vegetables.
Make surprise meat balls with
rice tucked inside. Or, stretch
the roast or braised meat with
noodles and rich gravy.
Spaghetti and macaroni make
a meal complete even if C'n!y a
little meat is used. Use cream
sauces with diced egg, secr:stmed
tomato sauce or tasty gra·ry.

Sift together dry ingredients. Cut
in lard. Break egg into a one-cup
measuring cup. Beat slightly with
fork and add enough milk to make
1 cup liquid. Add liquid to dry ingredients. Stir lightly. Drop by
spoonfuls into boiling broth or stew.
Cover tightly and cook for 15 minutes without peeking. Do not remove cover. Serve at once. This
recipe makes six large dumplings.
Liver is known as a variety meat
because it has variety of texture and
flavor. Here is a grand way to fix it:
Liver Supreme.
(Serves 6)
1Y2 pounds liver, sliced
~ cup french dressing
6 carrots, sliced
6 onions
1 green pepper, sliced

in hot drippings.
Top with vegetables and add the
water. C o v e r
lightly and cook
slowly until both
liver and vegetables are tender.
Beef and pork liver require 45 minutes cooking time while lamb and
veal liver need 30 minutes.
Whenever it's possible, use a combination of veal, pork and beef in
your meat loaves. In the following
recipe, the tastiness is increased by
using sour cream, prepared mustard, paprika and Worcestershire
sauce. Lemon juice adds piquancy
to the meat when used, while brown
sugar gives a bit of sweetening that
you will enjoy. Use a l arge sized
loaf pan for baking or shape into
loaf when baking in a utility pan.

CHICAGO-Every American farm
acre will have to do a bigger crop
producing job in 194}, if world needs
for food, fiber and oils are to be met,
according to a statemrnt made public here by the Middle West Soil
Improvement Committee.
"More millior•s of people throughout the world will dEpend upon the
products of American soil this year
than ever before," the statement
points out.
"Proper use of fertilizers will contribute more to getting this production than anything else the farmer
can do.
"The War Food Administration
estimates that 20 to 23 per cent of
the total crop production in 1944 was
due to the use of fertilizer. It would
take 50 million acres of land to enable the United States to produce
the extra amounts of food that have
been added to our national output
by the use of plant food.
"In meeting the enormous wartime demands for plant food, the
fertilizer industry has established a
remarkable record. No other industry-aircraft, shipbuilding or agriculture itself-has worked harder to
deliver the goods in the right quantity and on time. In the face of
labor shortages, transportation difficulties and some scarcities of materials, the fertilizer industry has
worked day and night to produce the
sorely needed plant food for farmers.''
"Farmers who them~elves have
been hampered by shortages of help
and equipment can appreciate the
problems manufacturers have faced
in trying to overcome their dinlculties and produce the much-needed
plant food.
"In actual tonnage, most producers have been turning out more
fertilizer than ever before' in his-~
tory. They have demonstrated by
their wartime contribution, that
they are ready to meet the ,condi- [
tions which peacetime agriculture
will bring. A great soil rebuilding
job lies ahead, to replace fertility
used up to meet the unprecedented
wartime demands for foods, fats
1 and fibers. The fertilizer i.ladustry is
I prepared to do its part in providing all the plant food required for
this vast postwar improvement and
replenishment job."

Swedish Chemist Derives
Many Coffee By-Products

898' P'il''§'@"itlmmmmmimlftDO#WWXWAI@frAI#H#i@#B80@l0#18'A'm

A Swedish chemist is said to have
developed a method of extracting
large quantities of products from
coffee - not only caffeine, fat aod
tannin, but also lubricating oils and
different kinds of phenol and hydrogen. After the caffeine has been
extracted, the ground coffee is
mixed with calcium protoxide and I
small quantities of two catalysts. I
The mixture is heated in an oven
at about 500 degrees, and the resultbg gas passes through a series of j
condensers, the different materials
becoming separated one after another by means of distillation and
decantation.
This chemist has found that the
following products can be obtained
from 5,070 pounds of unroasted coffee: In the first stage of the process
-53 pounds of caffeine, 529 pounds
of fat, and 88 pounds of tannin; during the second stage - 227 pounds
of acetone, 97 pounds of methyl alcohol, 53 pounds of phenol, 368
pounds of raw oil, 672 pounds of
lubricating oil and ammonia, and
520 to 650 cubic yards of hydrogen
gas.
The oil extracts vary from the
lightest to the heaviest qualities.
ThPy are raw oils which are said
to be suitable for use in motor cars
or airplanes. Some of them have a
fuel value of more than 10 000 calories. Since the hydrogen' gas obtaiited supplies the neccs~:ary vapor
for the process, the total costs of
productwn are small.

Reflecting the nation's mcreasing
air-consciousness, and the prospects
for greatly expanded civil aviation
after the war, no less than 51,000
student pilot c:ertificates were issued
during 1944 as compared with 35,000
the year previously, the Civil Aer"""
nautics board revealed.
Interested in aviation because of
some relation's service in the air
forces or because increased income
has permitted training, women represent 15 to 35 per cent of the new
students, the CAA said. Most youtl".s

majority of men over 30 plan to us~

As a further indication of the future employment of the airplane in
American life, CAA said, country
doctors and priests have become interested in aviation as a means of
serving larger areas and thus overcoming the limits of vehicular
travel.

CLOTHING:
More /or Kiddies

Flood waters spilling over the banks of the Ohio river and its tributaries again made thousands homeless and threatened war production.
Aerial view shows Newton, Ohio, with a population of 2,000, isolated by
the inundation.

In addition to cotton fabric pre·
viously allotted for low and medium-priced children's clothing, additional yardage has been allocated
for the manufacture of about 6lh
million more kiddies' garments, the
War Production board revealed.
Outing flannel, print cloths, broadcloths, poplins, lawns and chambrays will be among the material
allotted for the extra children's
dresses, overalls, coveralls, toddlers'
dresses, jacket type pajamas, une
piece pajamss, two piece button-on
pajamas, infants' gertrudes, infants'
kimonos, infants' gowns, creepers,
rompers and crawlers.
WPB's allocation of the cotton fabric was part of its program to increase the output of cheaper clothing and thus help cut rising apparel
costs, which OPAdministrator Chester Bowles called one of the most
dangerous
wartime
inflationary
threats.

Stubborn Foe

From the west and from the east
the grea~ battle for Germany was
begun, with a sorely pressed Nazi
command, which once marshalled
its legions in triumph, desperately
attempting to stem the Allied tide.
Most significant of the Allied
moves was the U. S. crossing of the
Rhine in pursuit of a disorganized
enemy, who had broken off the battle to the west of the river and attempted to flee to supposed security
behind its broad span, previously uncrossed since Napoleon's time.
Smashing quickly through enemy

the U. S. and British advance and

Personalities Still Affect
Relationships of Nations
Strain Between FOR and De Gaulle Complicates
Postwar Understanding Between
Two Great Powers.
ByBAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
Some years ago that highly scientific organization, the Smithsonian institution, discussed the possibility of
a relationship between sun spots and
wars. It was carefully explained
that sun spots, which are really
great e~plosions on the sun's surface, affected the weather on tbe
earth and frequently bad weather in
turn affected the dispositions of human beings and might conceivably render national leaders less
amenable to reason and more likely to get their countries into trouble.
At first glance that seems rather
far-fetched but the fact that a clash
of personalities can
affect the course of
nations today, almost as much as it
did when people
fought at the whim
of a king, has been
brought out strikingly in Franco-American relations.
There isn't much
question that the
common interest's of
President

United States would
be better served if

that one
Josef
Stalin, although he arranged a
highly advantageous treaty with
l!'rance including some even more
advantageous private understanding
with De Gaulle, had no desire to invite him to Yalta.
But the Roosevelt-De Gaulle differences seem to be recurrent and just
when everybody thought, after the
latter's visit to Washington when he
was understood to have given his
colleagues in France the impression
that the visit was highly satisfactory to him, came the answer "I
regret" to Roosevelt's "respondezvous, s'il vous plais" and the meeting on the President's cruiser off
Algiers did not take place.

At its peak in 1923 when it totaled

FDR Commentll
On Prima Donnas
That is supposed to account for
the extemporaneous remarks he inserted in his report to congress
about "prima donnas."
Those remarks, which were universally interpreted as applying to
De Gaulle, came as a distinct shock
and immediately afterward Senator
Brewster publicly labeled them "injudicious."
I was following the text of the officia] release in the house radio gallery as the President spoke and
had noted the many departures
which he tossed off as familiar
asides and which helped to g ive his
talk the intimate note he desired.
But I was startled at what he said
following the text as it dealt with
an agreement with Yugoslavia. He
read the sentence, "We hope that
it is in the process of fulfillment"
and then he looked up and with just J
a touch of what verged on sarcasm
in his voice, remarked "But it is not
only that, but in some other places
we have to remember there are a
great number of prima donnas in I
the world, all who wish to be heard. J
Before anything will be done, we ·
may have a little delay, while we
listen to more prima donnas."
That startled me as I said but I 1
must say I did not at first think he 1
could mean De Gaulle. That
seemed impossible. However, as oth·
ers mentioned it, I began to take it
for granted, for I knew that until
the procedure of voting as agreed '
upon at Yalta was approved by
France the agreement could not be
announced. There were other things I
upon which France had to be con- '
suited in advance of the meeting, as jl
well.
The French ambassador who was
s eated in the diplomatic gallery j
showed no sign whatever that he ·
was affected by t he words and later
he is said to have told a friend that '
it was hardly likely tha t the prima 1
donna reference could have been I
meant to apply to France since the
President had completed his com·
ment on what disposition of French
interests had been made and had
moved on to another topic, Yugo· I
slavia.
I
That, of course, is a good alibi. '
And it is necessary that there be
an alibi for I am convinced that
had there been even unofficial admission that the President was
hitting at De Gaulle a really diffi·
cult situation would arise. It is
known that although many people
consider the general what the
French call "difficile," the French
do not call De Gaulle that and his
friends and admirers a re warm
in their loyalty and would instantly resent any unfavorable comment
on his conduct.
No serious diffictJlties are expected to arise between the United
States and France but some of their •
common troubles in the past show
that there is much difference be- 1
tween foreign relations, bolster

to say. My own impression garnered from conversations with
persons thoroughly familiar with the
French attitude is that "difficulties"
were expected to arise in FrancoAmerican relations the moment it
became clear that France was not
invited to participate in the counsels of the Big Three. It was not
expected that the role her armies
are able to play would make her
eligible to join the military councils
at Yalta but the French were ardently desirous of having a place at the
general negotiations which made up
the second part of the parleys. General De Gaulle was in no mood,
when he received the President's
invitation, to brook what he considered a further slight.
It was clear, on the other hand,
that the President felt he had sound,
practical reasons for omitting any
visit to Paris before the San Francisco meeting. He also felt there
were sound, practical reasons for a
conversation with De Gaulle. He
said there were a number of points
that had to be cleared up which required French action before the
United Nations meeting could be
held. Indeed, I imagine, he felt
that he was showing especial regard
to France when he offered to review
the accomplishments at Yalta personally for De Gaulle.

"T ET'S go in and watch him
L
work." That's what Ingrid
Bergman said to me one day outside
the sound stage at Selznick's studio
while Allred Hitchcock was filming
''Spellbound.''
The actors in his pictures will always tell you that Hitch gives the
best performance of any one on the
set, just like Lubitsch. And the' 'Hitchcock
touch"
or the "Lubitsch
touch" has made
their pictures a
"must see" with
millions. Ritchie's
1uips and drolleries make smart
dinner conversation for Hollywood's duller
souls.
Alfred Hitchcock
And yet he told
me the other day
then was nothing extraordinary
abo~~ the suspense-packed pictures
he makes. What passed for inspiration with him was observationwatching what actually happens,
filming only what could happen.
We were in the living room of
his Bel-Air home, looking through
the window at golfers passing on the
course a hundred yards distant. I'd
gone up to welcome him back from
England. I wanted to hear how the
Hitchcock technique had been applied to propaganda pictures he directed over there.
He started right off by sa~ing that
one of these pictures wasn t propaganda at all. " 'Bon Voyage,'" he
explained, "was just a way of saying thanks to the French people
and the underground for all they'd
risked in helping so many of our
boys escape during the occupation.
It's a three-reel feature that tells
the true story of the escape oi an
English flier and assistance given
him."
"'Bon Voyage,' " he said pridefully, "was _well received." .

By Ernie Pyle

IN THE MARIANAS ISLANDS.-The B-29 is unquestionably
a wonderful airplane. Outside of the famous old Douglas DC-3
workhorse, I've never heard pilots so unanimous in their praise
of an airplane.
I took my first ride in one the other day. No, I didn't go on a
mission to Japan. We've been through all that before. I don't
believe in people going on missions unless they have to. And as
before, the pilots here all agreed®•._WI_._th_m_e_._ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
But I went along on a little practice bombing trip of an hour and a
half. The pilot
was Maj. Gerald
Robinson, who
lives in our hut.
His wife, inci·
dentally, lives at
123 South Girard street, Albu:Iuerque, N. M.,
:m the very same
street as our
white house.
I sat on a box
Ernle Pyle
between the pilots
both on the takeoff and for the landing, and as much as I've flown, that
was still a thrill. These islands are
all relatively small, and you're no
;ooner off the ground than you're
out over water, and that feels funny.
If the air is a little rough, it gives
you a very odd sensation sitting
way up there in the nose. For the
B-29 is so big that, instead of
bumping or dropping, the nose
has a "willowy" motion, sort of like
sitting out on the end of a green
limb when it's swaying around.
The B-29 carries a crew of 11.
Some of them sit up in the
cockpit and the compartment just
behind it. Some others sit in a compartment near the tail. The tail
gunner sits all alone, way back
there in the lonely tail turret.
The body of the B-29 is so taken
up with gas tanks and bomb racks
that there's normally no way to
get from front to rear compartments. So the manufacturers solved
that by building a tunnel into the
plane, right along the rooftop.

The tunnel is round, just big
enough to crawl in on your hands
and knees, and is padded with blue
cloth. It's more than 30 feet long,
and the crew members crawl back
and forth through it all the time.
Maj. Russ Cheever reported that
he accomplished the impossible the
other day by turning around in the
tunnel.
On missions, some of the crew
get back in this tunnel and sleep for
an hour or so. But a lot of them
:::an't stand to do that. I've heard
::ombat crewmen bring up the sub·
ject a half dozen times. They say
they get claustrophobia in the tunn.el.
There used to be some sleeping
bunks on the B-29, but they've been
taken out, and now there's hardly
even room to lie down on the floor.
A fellow does get sleepy on a 14hour mission. Most of the pilots take
naps in their seats. One pilot I know
turned the plane over to his copilot
and went back to the tunnel for
"a little nap," and didn't return for
six hours, just before they hit the
:::oast of Japan. They laughingly
say he goes to sleep before he gets
his wheels up.
The B-29 is a very stable plane
and hardly anybody ever gets sick
even in rough weather. The boys
smoke in the plane, and the mess
hall gives them a small lunch of
sandwiches and oranges and cookies
to eat on the way.
On mission days all flying crewmen, even those not going on the
mission, get all the fried eggs they
want for breakfast. That's the only
day they have eggs.
The crewmen wear their regular
clothes on missions, usually coveralls. They don't have to wear heavy
fleece-lined clothes and all that
bulky gear, because the cabin is
heated. They do slip on their heavy
steel "flak vests" as they approach
the target.
They don't have to wear oxygen
masks except when they're over the
target, for the cabin is sealed and
"pressurized" - simulating a constant altitude of 8,000 feet.
Once in a great while one of the
plexiglass "blisters" where the gunners sit will blow out from the
strong pressure inside, and then
everybody better grab his oxygen
mask in an awful hurry. The crew
always wears the oxygen mask
over the target, because a shell
through the plane "depressurizes"
the cabin instantly, and they'd pass
out.

The boys speak frequently of the
unbelievably high winds they hit at
high altitudes over Japan. It's nothing unusual to have a 150-milean-hour wind, and my nephew, Jack
Bales, said that one day his plane
hit a wind of 250 miles an hour.

• • •
There are five officers and six enlisted men on the crew of a B-29.
All the enlisted men of a /crew stay
in the same hut, because that's the
way the boys want it. Thus there
are usually three crews of six men
each in a Quonset hut.
"My" crew is a grand bunch of
boys, as I suppose most of them
are. They have trouble sleeping the
night before a mission, and they're
tense before the takeoff. As one
of them laughingly said at the plane
just before takeoff one morning
"How do you get rid of that empty
feeling in your chest?"
But they relax and expand and
practically float away with good
feeling once they get back and have
another one safely under their belts.
The six enlisted men of "my"
crew are Sgts. Joe Corcoran of
Woodhaven, L. I.; Fauad Smith of
Des Moines, N. M. (near Raton);
Joe McQuade of Gallup, N. M.; J ohn
Devaney of Columbus, Ohio; Norbert Springman of Wilmont, Minn.,
and Eugene Florio of Chicago.
Springman and Florio are radio
men, and all the others are gunners.
Sergeant Corcoran is the oldest
of the crew. The first time I walked
into their hut he called from his
cot, "Hi Ernie, the last time I saw
you was in the Stork club."
"But I've never been in the Stork
club in my life," I said.
So we puzzled over that a while,
and finally decided it must have
been two other guys, or else I'm
living a double life which I don't
know about.

Sa,rge' Continue•

Sergeatl.t Corcoran was a chiropractor before the war, and still
gives the boys amateur treatments. He practiced for three years
at Jamaica, L. I., and had a fine
business worked up. I asked him
how a chiropractor ever wound up to
be a side-gunner on a B-29, and he
said damned if he knew.
It's unusual to find two men from
thinly populated New Mexico on the
same crew. Smith and McQuade
never knew each other until they
met on this crew, and then it turned
out they had joined the army the
very same day. Now they are great
buddies.
McQuade was a fireman on the
Santa Fe, and Smith owned a grocery store, but finally had to sell
it. They'd just had letters saying it was below zero back home,
and they were at least thankful to be
away from that.
Both the boys have had experiences. McQuade made two trips to
the Aleutians as a gunner on a
ship. And Smith is serving his
second tour of aerial combat overseas.
Smith was in the South Pacific
in the early days, and flew 53 missions as gunner on B-17s. He has
all his missions painted on the
back of his leather flying-jacketyellow bombs for the South Pacific,
and red ones for Japan. He says
he's only got room for 27 more missions on his jacket, and then he'll
just have to quit.
I asked Sergeant Smith if he hated
to come back overseas as badly as
I did.
"Twice as bad," he said.
"You couldn't."
"Well, as bad then," he said. "But
I haven't griped so much about it
since we got here. It's not near as
bad as I expected. In fact we're
living as good here as we did in
America."
Sergeant Smith's odd first nameFauad- is Syrian. He is growing a
funny little rectangular goatee,
black as coal. I asked him how long
he was going to keep it. He said,
"Probably only until the colonel
happens to notice it."
Smith and Corcoran are the only
two sergeants on the crew who
are married. Both their wives are
living temporarily in California.

B-29 Takeoff an Exciting Spectacle
I've always felt the great 500-mile
auto race at Indianapolis to be the
most intriguing event - in terms
of human suspense - that I've
ever known. The start of a B-29 mission to Tokyo, from the spectator's standpoint, is almost a duplicate of the Indianapolis race.
On mission day people are out
early to see the start. Soldiers in
groups sit on favorite high spots

around the field- on tops of buildings, on tops of bulldozers along
the runway, on mounds that give a
better view- and even a few bold
souls stand at the very end of the
runway to snap amateur pictures.
As the planes taxi out, it's just
li~ cars at Indianapolis leaving
their pits to line up for the start.
You wave farewell and then scamper to a good vantage point.

Hitch's new picture is the muchtalked-of "Spellbound," with Gregory Peck making love to Ingrid
Bergman, mystery, suspense, psy·
chiatry, fantastic sets by Salvador
Dali, and music by the symphony
composer and conductor Miklos
Rozsa.
Hitch has his own theory about
music. He gets a celebrated composer to write music for him just
so he can stop it. But just why, sir,
do you get all that expensive music
just to stop it?
"You've seen people in danger?"
asks Hitch. "People at some high
point of tension? Let's do a scene:
We're sitting in this room talking,
when bang! just like that a burglar enters and points a gun at us.
"We freeze. We don't move or
breathe. Certainly we don't talk. At
any dramatic moment like this
there comes a hush. When the danger
is over everybody starts jabbering.
It's a release to talk, they talk
louder, laugh louder.
"So in a psychological mystery
there are appropriate intervals at
which I want the music dramatically stopped-with a hush!
"Only 'Spellbound' isn't just a
mystery story. It's a love story.
There's nothing unusual about it. It's
based on truth, psychiatric truth." •
"What about 'Foreign Correspondent' and 'Lifeboat'?" I asked.
"Same thing. In 'Foreign Correspondent' it was a man hammering
away at events, and the woman
didn't help things. There isn't anything in there that couldn't happen.
'Lifeboat' is the same way."

Some More Plans
"After 'Spellbound,' what?" I
wanted to know.
" 'Notorious,'" he said. "Just finished working on the script with
Ben Becht."
Then he went on to tell what a
great guy Ben is. Says they collaborate so well that dialog becomes
a kind of verbal shorthand, almost
mental telepathy.
Hitch feels his pictures are finished the day shooting begins. He
says from then on it's a matter ot
interpreting what has been created,
and that it's possible to get into the
finished film only about 75 per cent
of what the mind has pictured.
In a world where 6 foot invisible
rabbits can star in Broadway shows
and in which the true story of an
English flier's escape from occupied
France furnishes material for a
Hitchcock chiller I can believe that
there is nothing unusual in a Hitchcock picture- nothing, that is, except the flair of the man who makes
'em.

nation or 10 vegetable ingre-

In 1944 the average civilian ate
143 pounds of meat. This year the
outlook per civilian is estimated at
about 134 pounds per person.
It doesn't take much mental arithmetic to make us see that we'll be
doing with less
meat this year
than before-but
then, you've probably already noticed that trend
at your butcher's.
As a nation
we're greater
pork eaters than beef eaters, says a
recent survey made by the government, but that will have to change
at least for this year. Pork loins,
hams, shoulders, spareribs and bacon will continue to be scarce. The
higher grades of bee! are going to
the armed forces, while lower grades
of beef, though not abundant, will be
more abundant. Veal supplies are
quite scarce as are the top grades
of lamb.
All of this means one thing for
Mrs. America. She will get less
meat, and if she wants to get meaty
flavor it will have to be stretched.
If she doesn't do that, she will have
a few meals with meat and others
without.
There are good ways to stretch
meat - old-fashioned ways like
dumplings, bread dressings and
stuffings, rice, macaroni, noodles and
spaghetti. For those of you who
choose having meat "as is" in your
menus, there are delightful fish
dishes to fill in the days when meat
is .unobtainable.
When you want those precious red
points to do the most work for you,
buy the low-point cuts and dress
them up with herbs, flavorful gravies
and colorful vegetables. H ere's a
lineup of recipes you'll well appreciate these days:
•Lamb Stew With Dumplings.
(Serves 6)
2 pounds lamb
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lard
6 small potatoes
6 carrots
6 small onions
1 cup water
Cut lamb breast, flank or neck
meat into 11h inch cubes. Dredge in
flour, then brown
well on all sides
in hot lard. Season, add water
and simmer l,lh
hours. Add vegetables. Cover and
continue cooking
until vegetables are tender. Drop
dumplings on top of meat and vegetables. Cover and cook without removing lid for 15 minutes.

Lynn Says;
Meat Needs Stretching: Bread
and cracker crumbs are natural
for extending ground meats like
lamb, beef, pork or veal. Use for
meat loaves and patties.
Vegetables should start coming
into their own for stretching
stews, short ribs, roasts, etc.
Carrots, onions, potatoes, green
beans, tomatoes and cabbage are
all mighty fine.
Don't neglect such dishes as
meat pies with biscuit or mashed
potato crusts. The meat mixture
may be extended with gravy
and vegetables.
Make surprise meat balls with
rice tucked inside. Or, stretch
the roast or braised meat with
noodles and rich gravy.
Spaghetti and macaroni make
a meal complete even if C'n!y a
little meat is used. Use cream
sauces with diced egg, secr:stmed
tomato sauce or tasty gra·ry.

Sift together dry ingredients. Cut
in lard. Break egg into a one-cup
measuring cup. Beat slightly with
fork and add enough milk to make
1 cup liquid. Add liquid to dry ingredients. Stir lightly. Drop by
spoonfuls into boiling broth or stew.
Cover tightly and cook for 15 minutes without peeking. Do not remove cover. Serve at once. This
recipe makes six large dumplings.
Liver is known as a variety meat
because it has variety of texture and
flavor. Here is a grand way to fix it:
Liver Supreme.

6 carrots, sliced
6 onions

Top with vegetables and add the
water. C o v e r
lightly and cook
slowly until both
liver and vegetables are tender.
Beef and pork liver require 45 minutes cooking time while lamb and
veal liver need 30 minutes.
Whenever it's possible, use a combination of veal, pork and beef in
your meat loaves. In the following
recipe, the tastiness is increased by
using sour cream, prepared mustard, paprika and Worcestershire
sauce. Lemon juice adds piquancy
to the meat when used, while brown
sugar gives a bit of sweetening that
you will enjoy. Use a l arge sized
loaf pan for baking or shape into
loaf when baking in a utility pan.

CHICAGO-Every American farm
acre will have to do a bigger crop
producing job in 194}, if world needs
for food, fiber and oils are to be met,
according to a statemrnt made public here by the Middle West Soil
Improvement Committee.
"More millior•s of people throughout the world will dEpend upon the
products of American soil this year
than ever before," the statement
points out.
"Proper use of fertilizers will contribute more to getting this production than anything else the farmer
can do.
"The War Food Administration
estimates that 20 to 23 per cent of
the total crop production in 1944 was
due to the use of fertilizer. It would
take 50 million acres of land to enable the United States to produce
the extra amounts of food that have
been added to our national output
by the use of plant food.
"In meeting the enormous wartime demands for plant food, the
fertilizer industry has established a
remarkable record. No other industry-aircraft, shipbuilding or agriculture itself-has worked harder to
deliver the goods in the right quantity and on time. In the face of
labor shortages, transportation difficulties and some scarcities of materials, the fertilizer industry has
worked day and night to produce the
sorely needed plant food for farmers.''
"Farmers who them~elves have
been hampered by shortages of help
and equipment can appreciate the
problems manufacturers have faced
in trying to overcome their dinlculties and produce the much-needed
plant food.
"In actual tonnage, most producers have been turning out more
fertilizer than ever before' in his-~
tory. They have demonstrated by
their wartime contribution, that
they are ready to meet the ,condi- [
tions which peacetime agriculture
will bring. A great soil rebuilding
job lies ahead, to replace fertility
used up to meet the unprecedented
wartime demands for foods, fats
1 and fibers. The fertilizer i.ladustry is
I prepared to do its part in providing all the plant food required for
this vast postwar improvement and
replenishment job."

Swedish Chemist Derives
Many Coffee By-Products

898' P'il''§'@"itlmmmmmimlftDO#WWXWAI@frAI#H#i@#B80@l0#18'A'm

A Swedish chemist is said to have
developed a method of extracting
large quantities of products from
coffee - not only caffeine, fat aod
tannin, but also lubricating oils and
different kinds of phenol and hydrogen. After the caffeine has been
extracted, the ground coffee is
mixed with calcium protoxide and I
small quantities of two catalysts. I
The mixture is heated in an oven
at about 500 degrees, and the resultbg gas passes through a series of j
condensers, the different materials
becoming separated one after another by means of distillation and
decantation.
This chemist has found that the
following products can be obtained
from 5,070 pounds of unroasted coffee: In the first stage of the process
-53 pounds of caffeine, 529 pounds
of fat, and 88 pounds of tannin; during the second stage - 227 pounds
of acetone, 97 pounds of methyl alcohol, 53 pounds of phenol, 368
pounds of raw oil, 672 pounds of
lubricating oil and ammonia, and
520 to 650 cubic yards of hydrogen
gas.
The oil extracts vary from the
lightest to the heaviest qualities.
ThPy are raw oils which are said
to be suitable for use in motor cars
or airplanes. Some of them have a
fuel value of more than 10 000 calories. Since the hydrogen' gas obtaiited supplies the neccs~:ary vapor
for the process, the total costs of
productwn are small.

On Upgrade
Reflecting the nation's mcreasing
air-consciousness, and the prospects
for greatly expanded civil aviation
after the war, no less than 51,000
student pilot c:ertificates were issued
during 1944 as compared with 35,000
the year previously, the Civil Aer"""
nautics board revealed.
Interested in aviation because of
some relation's service in the air
forces or because increased income
has permitted training, women represent 15 to 35 per cent of the new
students, the CAA said. Most youtl".s
from 16 to 21 years of age intend t&lt;'
enter the air forces later while the
majority of men over 30 plan to us~
their planes for business travel.
As a further indication of the future employment of the airplane in
American life, CAA said, country
doctors and priests have become interested in aviation as a means of
serving larger areas and thus overcoming the limits of vehicular
travel.

CLOTHING:
More /or Kiddies

Flood waters spilling over the banks of the Ohio river and its tributaries again made thousands homeless and threatened war production.
Aerial view shows Newton, Ohio, with a population of 2,000, isolated by
the inundation.

In addition to cotton fabric pre·
viously allotted for low and medium-priced children's clothing, additional yardage has been allocated
for the manufacture of about 6lh
million more kiddies' garments, the
War Production board revealed.
Outing flannel, print cloths, broadcloths, poplins, lawns and chambrays will be among the material
allotted for the extra children's
dresses, overalls, coveralls, toddlers'
dresses, jacket type pajamas, une
piece pajamss, two piece button-on
pajamas, infants' gertrudes, infants'
kimonos, infants' gowns, creepers,
rompers and crawlers.
WPB's allocation of the cotton fabric was part of its program to increase the output of cheaper clothing and thus help cut rising apparel
costs, which OPAdministrator Chester Bowles called one of the most
dangerous
wartime
inflationary
threats.

PACIFIC:
Stubborn Foe

From the west and from the east
the grea~ battle for Germany was
begun, with a sorely pressed Nazi
command, which once marshalled
its legions in triumph, desperately
attempting to stem the Allied tide.
Most significant of the Allied
moves was the U. S. crossing of the
Rhine in pursuit of a disorganized
enemy, who had broken off the battle to the west of the river and attempted to flee to supposed security
behind its broad span, previously uncrossed since Napoleon's time.
Smashing quickly through enemy
rear-guards, who tried to slow up
the U. S. and British advance and
give the main body of their troops
a chance to escape across the Rhine,
Allied spearheads not only reached
the historic river in short time but

Personalities Still Affect
Relationships of Nations
Strain Between FOR and De Gaulle Complicates
Postwar Understanding Between
Two Great Powers.

News Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
Some years ago that highly scientific organization, the Smithsonian institution, discussed the possibility of
a relationship between sun spots and
wars. It was carefully explained
that sun spots, which are really
great e~plosions on the sun's surface, affected the weather on tbe
earth and frequently bad weather in
turn affected the dispositions of human beings and might conceivably render national leaders less
amenable to reason and more likely to get their countries into trouble.
At first glance that seems rather
far-fetched but the fact that a clash
of personalities can
affect the course of
nations today, almost as much as it
did when people
fought at the whim
of a king, has been
brought out strikingly in Franco-American relations.
There isn't much
question that the
common interest's of

be better served if

Josef
Stalin, although he arranged a
highly advantageous treaty with
l!'rance including some even more
advantageous private understanding
with De Gaulle, had no desire to invite him to Yalta.
But the Roosevelt-De Gaulle differences seem to be recurrent and just
when everybody thought, after the
latter's visit to Washington when he
was understood to have given his
colleagues in France the impression
that the visit was highly satisfactory to him, came the answer "I
regret" to Roosevelt's "respondezvous, s'il vous plais" and the meeting on the President's cruiser off
Algiers did not take place.

At its peak in 1923 when it totaled

FDR Commentll
On Prima Donnas
That is supposed to account for
the extemporaneous remarks he inserted in his report to congress
about "prima donnas."
Those remarks, which were universally interpreted as applying to
De Gaulle, came as a distinct shock
and immediately afterward Senator
Brewster publicly labeled them "injudicious."
I was following the text of the officia] release in the house radio gallery as the President spoke and
had noted the many departures
which he tossed off as familiar
asides and which helped to g ive his
talk the intimate note he desired.
But I was startled at what he said
following the text as it dealt with
an agreement with Yugoslavia. He
read the sentence, "We hope that
it is in the process of fulfillment"
and then he looked up and with just J
a touch of what verged on sarcasm
in his voice, remarked "But it is not
only that, but in some other places
we have to remember there are a
great number of prima donnas in I
the world, all who wish to be heard. J
Before anything will be done, we ·
may have a little delay, while we
listen to more prima donnas."
That startled me as I said but I 1
must say I did not at first think he 1
could mean De Gaulle. That
seemed impossible. However, as oth·
ers mentioned it, I began to take it
for granted, for I knew that until
the procedure of voting as agreed '
upon at Yalta was approved by
France the agreement could not be
announced. There were other things I
upon which France had to be con- '
suited in advance of the meeting, as jl
well.
The French ambassador who was
s eated in the diplomatic gallery j
showed no sign whatever that he ·
was affected by t he words and later
he is said to have told a friend that '
it was hardly likely tha t the prima 1
donna reference could have been I
meant to apply to France since the
President had completed his com·
ment on what disposition of French
interests had been made and had
moved on to another topic, Yugo· I
slavia.
I
That, of course, is a good alibi. '
And it is necessary that there be
an alibi for I am convinced that
had there been even unofficial admission that the President was
hitting at De Gaulle a really diffi·
cult situation would arise. It is
known that although many people
consider the general what the
French call "difficile," the French
do not call De Gaulle that and his
friends and admirers a re warm
in their loyalty and would instantly resent any unfavorable comment
on his conduct.
No serious diffictJlties are expected to arise between the United
States and France but some of their •
common troubles in the past show
that there is much difference be- 1
tween foreign relations, bolster

to say. My own impression garnered from conversations with
persons thoroughly familiar with the
French attitude is that "difficulties"
were expected to arise in FrancoAmerican relations the moment it
became clear that France was not
invited to participate in the counsels of the Big Three. It was not
expected that the role her armies
are able to play would make her
eligible to join the military councils
at Yalta but the French were ardently desirous of having a place at the
general negotiations which made up
the second part of the parleys. General De Gaulle was in no mood,
when he received the President's
invitation, to brook what he considered a further slight.
It was clear, on the other hand,
that the President felt he had sound,
practical reasons for omitting any
visit to Paris before the San Francisco meeting. He also felt there
were sound, practical reasons for a
conversation with De Gaulle. He
said there were a number of points
that had to be cleared up which required French action before the
United Nations meeting could be
held. Indeed, I imagine, he felt
that he was showing especial regard
to France when he offered to review
the accomplishments at Yalta personally for De Gaulle.

delayed this issue due to not re~

news print. We usually receive
this print the first part of the

Several long distance

We are
sure that you kind folks will understand this unavoidable situa·

c~rtain idle women do drift about to afternoon bar! and lounge(, act"umulntint

"u /oi&lt;ky IJlotches," but the percentage

u very low.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
T SEEMS to me manifestly
unfair in Congresswoman
Clare Luce to say that millions of American women have
done little or nothing to help the
war effort except perhaps to
keep their skins lily white and
soft for some G.I. to touch when
he comes home.

I

Probably they are U$ele!s, anyway.

HOMEMAKING COMES
FIRST
By the natural organization of
life, women are the homcmak- 1
ers. It is foolish to prate about '
"home front morale" and then ~
expect women in great numbers
to leave their homes and children and join the WACs, or get
into factories. True, millions of
wonten have responded to the
call of national duty, without
any compulsion, and have en·
listed in the auxiliary services,
nurses' corps, or have gone into
war plants.
Most women, however, cannot
desert their first responsibility,
the care of their children. They
cannot go to war, or to work, with·
out neglecting the welfare of the
next generation. As Miss Norris
points out, they are doing a far
greater service to the nation by
quietly taking care of their homes
than they could in some form of
war work. Many mothers are giving every spare moment to the
Red Cross, or some other service
as it is. There are few slachers
among American women, even
though they do not wear uni·
forms and carry arms.

And manifestly unfair in Damon
Runyon to quote this in a syndicated
article, and add, on his own account, that keeping skin white is better than to let it become covered
with whiskey blotches. Mr. Runyon
blames what he calls the failure of
women to respond to the war effort
upon the ''remissness of the leaders of their sex in showing the way."
"If some of the prominent women of
the day," he goes on to say, "had
lunged forward, it would have been
an inspiring example to the rank
and file." He suggests that such
leaders might have "marshalled big
parades of females into defense
plants."
He goes on to say in contrast that
"hundreds of thousands" of prominent men have offered their services
to the wartime effort; industrial
chieftains, famous actors and journalists, doctors, movie directors
and producers, and members oJ Mrs.
Luce's own house of representatives.
Men Are Drafted.
This sort of talk makes me indignant; it seems to me unworthy of
one of our top journalists. In the first
place, men are drafted, and drafted
with them is all the glory of uniforms, marching, flags, music, the
excitement and change so dear to
youth. Just how large our armies
and navies would be if they were
composed only of male volunteers is
a question,-you know, and I know,
many a stalwart lad who is safely
doing something here at home when
he might well be in the ranks.
The notable lack of enthusiasm in
Canada's men for overseas service
is causing that government grave
concern. It is not entirely of their
own volition that our fighting men
have been flung to all the danger
spots of the world.
It is the fashion now to speak
slightingly of our nurses, to lament
publicly that more of them do
not volunteer for army and navy
service. The strange thing about this
crticism is that when a call was
sent out for 40,000 nurses little
more than a year ago, 72,000 volunteered, and 42,000 were actually accepted. There has been no call since
until now, and because response to
it is somewhat slow, the whole profession suffers disrepute.
1 The real and obvious answer to
such critics and Mrs. Luce and Mr.
Runyon is, of course, that women
are not, never have been and never
will be, as free as men to follow
their desires, in war or in peace.
There are close to 40 million homes
in America; less than one-third of
1 per cent of these homes_:..about
1 in 300, is managed without a woman. Women cook, wash, clean, raise
children, teach in schools; children
are their supreme responsibility,
h\lsbands and homes and children
need them. War is the abnormal,
the extraneous thing; wifehood,
.motherhood, homes, are the indispensable essentials of all civilizations. To be sure, certain idle women
t?-o drift about to afternoon bars and
!lounges, accumulating the aforementioned "whiskey blotches." But
the percentage of these women is
:very low; perhaps they are mental-

ly, physically, spiritually of a type
that would make them practically
useless anyway.
Highest Standard Ever.
The great mass of our women
maintains a higher standard than
women have ever maintained in the
world before. It is a standard of decency, honesty, devotion to home
and husband and children; eagerness to serve them, to prepare endless meals, wash inexhaustible
dishes, gather small pencils and rubbers, telephone teachers, "Push a perambulator to market, decide anxiously between lessening stores of
fruits and meat, go home hot and
weary to put the lunch potatoes in
to bake, to sterilize the baby's bottles, to mop up the front hallway, to
carry a tray upstairs to a sickroom
-and to go on with it, day after day,
early morning until late at night.
These things must be done, and
it is women who must do them, and
women who do do them. A man
may lock his office for a week, a
month, he may close it for a whole
year and be off overseas. Nobody
suffers except perhaps himself, in
his pocket.
But a woman may not lock two
small babies in a perfectly safe
room for an hour without deadly
risk. She may not neglect the dish
pan for one day. There are 312
items, according to recent calculations, that she must see supplied, refreshed, refrigerated, heated, dusted, smoothed, washed, ironed and
starched, every day of her life.
Her husband will not wear
rumpled shirts to the office; her
children must not go about in wet
shoes; her soup must be skimmed
for government fats; her tin cans
washed and flattened; her Red
Cross du€'-5 paid; the six o'clock
baths for Betty and Junior, their supper, the table-setting, the dinner-getting, the five minutes attention to
her own appearance, may not be
neglected, not one single day.
When any man's work is as \&gt;'ital
as that of the humblest wife and
mother, then it will be time to talk
of the "remissness" of women in
war service.

"Their supreme responsibility."

Losing Vitamin C
Homemakers who use only the
juice of oranges are literally throwing vitamin C out the window, according to dietetic experts. Juicing
discards edible orange flesh and
materially decreases the amount
of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), they
say. Slicing gives better ascorbic
acid value, and unstrained juice
has a higher vitamin content than
strained juice. Strained juice contains only half to three-fourths as
much ascorbic acid as do orange
segments.

When you go print-shopping be
prepared to be shown the most
amazing designs and patterning, as
for instance, bird-cage motifs together with winging birds fluttering
all over a colorful background. Another print shows tiny colorful
horses in spirited pose. Be sure to
look up the parasol prints-little
open parasols so gaily colorful and
new looking. If it's novelty-plus you
are seeking, you'll find it in an
amusing but very attractive safetypin print done in black on a white
background. A dress recently shown
made of this print is fastened with
three large black safety pins down
the front opening of the bodice.
This is one of the reasons why the
new prints are being referred to as
"conversation prints."
The florals this season are very
beautiful. Stripes done in flowery design are very new and attractive.
Prints that etch the design in black
on white are ever so smart. One of
the new trends prints frosty white
flowers on pastel backgrounds. The
rose theme is still popular and there
is quite a showing of clover blossoms in realistic colors. Widespaced dramatic florals on navy or
black are excellent style. Styling
trends that make print frocks look
outstandingly new highlight sidetied drapes, animated peplums,
back-flare to skirts emphasized with
ruffled self-fabric cascades, new
harem drapes, big bustle bows and
so on; the new style details are
endless. This all goes to show that
print frocks have taken an important new fashion stride that adds
greatly to their interest.

Curfew Fashions Are
Newest Style Theme
And now curfew fashions! What
with the new curfew rulings thare
arises the need of costumes of less
formality and yet very dressy or
the re-arranged evening hours. The
reaction to all this is the return of
the semi-formal dress-up streetlength dress. Low necks, brief
sleeves, lovely material and devastating hats with beguiling accessories answer the call. For the curfew evenings designers are creating handsome short-length gowns
also suits of rich fabrics such as
faille, taffeta, moire that are enhanced with sparkling jewelled buttons, or to the dress of uncluttered
simplicity they add an important
jewelry piece or a fetching ensemble of matching necklace, bracelet
and earrings. The festive accent also
is given by wearing a huge rose at
the waistline. Superb blouses are
worn with handsome suits and the
hat, be it a tiny flower confection
or a stunning wider brim, adds the
final note of flattery.

Braid-Embroidered Tunic
Coat Is Strikingly New
A new costume coat makes its appearance, and it may be regarded
as that which is on the way as a
new fashion future. The tunic is
heavily braided in black in a detop
border effect around the hemline
and upon the turnback cuffs that finish bell sleeves that are wide at the
wrist. There is a plastron of braiding down the front and around the
collarless neckline. Altogether it is a
"grand lady" looking coat. Comes in
white, wine or pastels with black
braid.

while some of the Latin American
countries are as ardent fans of the
sport as their forebears, to other
nations of the New World bull·
fighting is as unknown-and in fact
as alarming a spectacle-as it is to

CHICAGO-Although more than
75 per cent of America's Grade A
farm land is located in the Middle
West, an alarming share of this
priceless resource is being tost
each year by erosion and the
steady drain from marketed
crops. and livestock, according to
a statement by the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee.
The statement listed as "weapons" in the ::nti-erosion fight
such measures as "a permanent
soil building program that includes regular crop rotation. the
gro\\ ing of legumes for cover pur·
poses and adequate applications
of mi:.:cd fertilizer."
"While legumes are an impor·
tnnt source of nitrogen and help
1·eplenish the land's humus," says
the statement, "they m:lke extensive demands on the soil's SUJl·
ply of phosphorus and potash.

Bread stuffings is a de luxe meth·
od of stretching the family meat
dish, homemakers say. Less expensive cuts of meat can be made
a special treat by servirg a stuffing
with them. Servings of meat may
b~ smaller in s:ze when supplemented with a well-seasoned tasty
dressing.
Some of the meats which take to
stuffing are veal or beef birds, shoulder or breast of Jamb, spareribs,
flank steaks roasts of all kinds and
a variPty ~f other meat dishes.
Even hamburger can be dresse~l up
by spreading a layer of meat m a
greased pan. r'overing with ~ layer
of stuffing, topping it ofT w1th an')ther layer of meat, and then bakmg in a hot oven.
There ate only two main types of
stuffing, wet and dry. ~n dry stu.ffing the only moisture JS fat, wh1le
the wet type has milk, water or
broth added. With the wet type, caution is taken not to add too much
liquid because the stuffing will
absorb juices during cooking. For
the base of the stuffing use enriched
white or whole wheat bread, corn
bread or other whole grain bread.
A wide variety of stuffings is made
possible by adding such ingredients
as mushrooms, oysters, sausage
meat, crisp bacon, diced salt pork,
raisins, nu ts, apples, etc.

Bread Stuffings Good

According to Dr. E. F. W~ller,
poultry pathologist at the Umversity of New Hampshire, recent experiments have proven beyond a
doubt that the common brown or
Norway r at is the carrier of inf.e ~­
tious bronchitis and chicken coccidiosis. Dr. Waller's experiments confirm what everyone has known for
many years: the rat is one of the
most deadly enemies the farmer has,
and regardless of the kind of farm
operation he is engaged in, the .extermination of rats is a most Important part of the farm operation.
For the purpose of his experiment,
Dr. Waller had two cages 30 inches
square, and two feet deep, lined with
galvanized screen wire. The cages
were connected with 16 feet of fourinch galvanized brooder stove pipe.
Between the two cages and next to
the pipe was a third cage, unscreened, for the control birds. In
one of the cages he placed two
healthy birds and in the tunnel he
placed three full-grown rats. Within
approximately 90 hours, the healthy
birds were showing symptoms of
bronchitis but the controls remained
normal. After repeating and varying his experiment, Dr. Waller foun~
that the rat is apparently an accidental or mechanical carrier of disease and is not actively infected
with' the disease for any period of
time . All tests showed that the disease can be transmitted with active
or mechanical carriers.
Experiments v.-ere al~o carried .on
to see whether the rat 1s the earner
of chicken coccidiosis. A rat was injected with 40,000 sporulated oo~ysts.
The pellets, collected for a perwd of
2-l hours after feeding, were found
to contain numerous sporulated
oocysts. Apparently the unsporulated oocvsts were destroyed in the
l's digestive tract, but the infecve ones came throu&amp;h unharmed,

High Pressure Spray Eorces Out, Kills Cattle Grubs
New Treatment Promises
To Conquer Ranching
Industry's Wor t Pest
Cattle grubs, those ugly parasites
that cause a loss of leather, meat
and milk valued at 100 million dolJars annually, can now be controlled
by spraying. The insecticide, mixed
with water, is blown into the hair
&lt;Jn the backs of the infested animals. At a pressure of between 250
and 400 pounds the solution penetrates the holes that the grubs have
burrowed in the skin. The grubs
&lt;:ome out and die soon afterwards.
A portable pumping unit provides
the pressure for spraying the insecti&lt;:idc. At a recent demonstration on
a ranch ncar Fresno, Calif., a group
&lt;Jf agricultural experts and farm
journal editors watched while a
herd of Hereford cattle was treated
with the spray. The animals were
dnven into a chute, and as each
one passed the operator, he played
the nozzle over ils back, washing
off dirt, grease and scabs as well
as killing the grubs.
The cattle grub and heel fly are
different forms of the same insect.
Starting in the spring, when it is
in the fiy form, the heel fly lays
eggs on the heel and belly hairs of
the animals. These eggs hatch into
maggots which work their way
through the hide and enter the
muscle tissues. During the next nine
months these maggots migrate
through the internal organs of the
cattle and come out along the back.
Cysts are formed and the maggots then turn into grubs about an
inch long. In the spring they work
their way out of the holes in the
hide and fall to the ground. Within
a few weeks they turn into heel
flies and the yearly cycle repeats itself.
The U . S. department of agriculture arrives at its $100,000,000 loss
in meat, milk and leather in the following ways:
( 1) Every hide with five or more
grub holes is classed as No. 2 grade,
at a discount of one cent a pound.
Hides with very many grub holes
must be used for by-products, as
they are not worth tanning. It is estimated that enough leather was lost
this way during 1941 to provide
shoes for a million marching men
for an entire year.
(2) Millions of pounds of the best
beef are trimmed away from grubby
carcasses every year by packers,
and this loss is reflected in the price
paid for cattle on the hoof and meat
in the retail markets.
(3) Milk production has been
shown to suffer as much as 25 per
cent from the presence of grubs in
a cow. Heel fiy attacks can cause
an equal loss in production.
(4) The migration of cattle
grubs in cattle makes them sluggish
and unthrifty. They lose weight or
do not put on weight. They require
more feed, and in some cases infection resulting in death has occurred from a crushed cattle grub

CHICAGO - Those bumper corn
crops grandfather used to boast
about were just drops in the bucket
compared to what his grandsons are
growing in this Second World war,
according to a statement made public here by the Middle West Soil
Improvement Committee.
"In granddad's day," says the
statement, "40 acres of corn producing 40 bushels per acre-or a total
of 1,600 bush~ls-was a prime year's
work for a farmer. Today, with hybrid corn, there are plenty of farms
where one man alone can produce
between 5,000 and 6,000 bushels per
season.
"Several factors have been responsible for modern record-breaking coru yields. One is the switch
from open-pollinated varieties to
heavy -yielding hybrids. Another is
the increasing knowledge by farmers

Miracle to Egyptians
Favorite trick of Egyptian priests
to impress their parishioners was to
have the gates of the temples closed,
thus indicating that the gods were
angry. The crowds would gather, a
fire would be lighted on an altar
in the temple yard, and offering
would be made to the reluctant
gods. Presently, the awed and deeply impressed assemblage would
witness the gates of the temple slowly open, untouched by human hands.
Clearly, this was a miracle.
In reality, the miracle was a great
one. Yet, like many miracles of this
C'haractt"r, there was an explanation.
Underneath the altar was an area

California Cork
California, which has a climate
not unlike the cork growing countries of the Mediterranean, grows
more cork trees than any other
state. The quality of the bark compares with that grown in Spain and
Portugal, says Prof. Woodbridge
Metcalf, extension forester at the
University of California. The national industry, however, is still in
its infancy, and will not be able to
fill the national needs for a few
years yet. The first production con·

c~rtain idle women do drift about to afternoon bar! and lounge(, act"umulntint

"u /oi&lt;ky IJlotches," but the percentage

u very low.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
T SEEMS to me manifestly
unfair in Congresswoman
Clare Luce to say that millions of American women have
done little or nothing to help the
war effort except perhaps to
keep their skins lily white and
soft for some G.I. to touch when
he comes home.

I

Probably they are U$ele!s, anyway.

HOMEMAKING COMES
FIRST
By the natural organization of
life, women are the homcmak- 1
ers. It is foolish to prate about '
"home front morale" and then ~
expect women in great numbers
to leave their homes and children and join the WACs, or get
into factories. True, millions of
wonten have responded to the
call of national duty, without
any compulsion, and have en·
listed in the auxiliary services,
nurses' corps, or have gone into
war plants.
Most women, however, cannot
desert their first responsibility,
the care of their children. They
cannot go to war, or to work, with·
out neglecting the welfare of the
next generation. As Miss Norris
points out, they are doing a far
greater service to the nation by
quietly taking care of their homes
than they could in some form of
war work. Many mothers are giving every spare moment to the
Red Cross, or some other service
as it is. There are few slachers
among American women, even
though they do not wear uni·
forms and carry arms.

And manifestly unfair in Damon
Runyon to quote this in a syndicated
article, and add, on his own account, that keeping skin white is better than to let it become covered
with whiskey blotches. Mr. Runyon
blames what he calls the failure of
women to respond to the war effort
upon the ''remissness of the leaders of their sex in showing the way."
"If some of the prominent women of
the day," he goes on to say, "had
lunged forward, it would have been
an inspiring example to the rank
and file." He suggests that such
leaders might have "marshalled big
parades of females into defense
plants."
He goes on to say in contrast that
"hundreds of thousands" of prominent men have offered their services
to the wartime effort; industrial
chieftains, famous actors and journalists, doctors, movie directors
and producers, and members oJ Mrs.
Luce's own house of representatives.
Men Are Drafted.
This sort of talk makes me indignant; it seems to me unworthy of
one of our top journalists. In the first
place, men are drafted, and drafted
with them is all the glory of uniforms, marching, flags, music, the
excitement and change so dear to
youth. Just how large our armies
and navies would be if they were
composed only of male volunteers is
a question,-you know, and I know,
many a stalwart lad who is safely
doing something here at home when
he might well be in the ranks.
The notable lack of enthusiasm in
Canada's men for overseas service
is causing that government grave
concern. It is not entirely of their
own volition that our fighting men
have been flung to all the danger
spots of the world.
It is the fashion now to speak
slightingly of our nurses, to lament
publicly that more of them do
not volunteer for army and navy
service. The strange thing about this
crticism is that when a call was
sent out for 40,000 nurses little
more than a year ago, 72,000 volunteered, and 42,000 were actually accepted. There has been no call since
until now, and because response to
it is somewhat slow, the whole profession suffers disrepute.
1 The real and obvious answer to
such critics and Mrs. Luce and Mr.
Runyon is, of course, that women
are not, never have been and never
will be, as free as men to follow
their desires, in war or in peace.
There are close to 40 million homes
in America; less than one-third of
1 per cent of these homes_:..about
1 in 300, is managed without a woman. Women cook, wash, clean, raise
children, teach in schools; children
are their supreme responsibility,
h\lsbands and homes and children
need them. War is the abnormal,
the extraneous thing; wifehood,
.motherhood, homes, are the indispensable essentials of all civilizations. To be sure, certain idle women
t?-o drift about to afternoon bars and
!lounges, accumulating the aforementioned "whiskey blotches." But
the percentage of these women is
:very low; perhaps they are mental-

ly, physically, spiritually of a type
that would make them practically
useless anyway.
Highest Standard Ever.
The great mass of our women
maintains a higher standard than
women have ever maintained in the
world before. It is a standard of decency, honesty, devotion to home
and husband and children; eagerness to serve them, to prepare endless meals, wash inexhaustible
dishes, gather small pencils and rubbers, telephone teachers, "Push a perambulator to market, decide anxiously between lessening stores of
fruits and meat, go home hot and
weary to put the lunch potatoes in
to bake, to sterilize the baby's bottles, to mop up the front hallway, to
carry a tray upstairs to a sickroom
-and to go on with it, day after day,
early morning until late at night.
These things must be done, and
it is women who must do them, and
women who do do them. A man
may lock his office for a week, a
month, he may close it for a whole
year and be off overseas. Nobody
suffers except perhaps himself, in
his pocket.
But a woman may not lock two
small babies in a perfectly safe
room for an hour without deadly
risk. She may not neglect the dish
pan for one day. There are 312
items, according to recent calculations, that she must see supplied, refreshed, refrigerated, heated, dusted, smoothed, washed, ironed and
starched, every day of her life.
Her husband will not wear
rumpled shirts to the office; her
children must not go about in wet
shoes; her soup must be skimmed
for government fats; her tin cans
washed and flattened; her Red
Cross du€'-5 paid; the six o'clock
baths for Betty and Junior, their supper, the table-setting, the dinner-getting, the five minutes attention to
her own appearance, may not be
neglected, not one single day.
When any man's work is as \&gt;'ital
as that of the humblest wife and
mother, then it will be time to talk
of the "remissness" of women in
war service.

"Their supreme responsibility."

Losing Vitamin C
Homemakers who use only the
juice of oranges are literally throwing vitamin C out the window, according to dietetic experts. Juicing
discards edible orange flesh and
materially decreases the amount
of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), they
say. Slicing gives better ascorbic
acid value, and unstrained juice
has a higher vitamin content than
strained juice. Strained juice contains only half to three-fourths as
much ascorbic acid as do orange
segments.

When you go print-shopping be
prepared to be shown the most
amazing designs and patterning, as
for instance, bird-cage motifs together with winging birds fluttering
all over a colorful background. Another print shows tiny colorful
horses in spirited pose. Be sure to
look up the parasol prints-little
open parasols so gaily colorful and
new looking. If it's novelty-plus you
are seeking, you'll find it in an
amusing but very attractive safetypin print done in black on a white
background. A dress recently shown
made of this print is fastened with
three large black safety pins down
the front opening of the bodice.
This is one of the reasons why the
new prints are being referred to as
"conversation prints."
The florals this season are very
beautiful. Stripes done in flowery design are very new and attractive.
Prints that etch the design in black
on white are ever so smart. One of
the new trends prints frosty white
flowers on pastel backgrounds. The
rose theme is still popular and there
is quite a showing of clover blossoms in realistic colors. Widespaced dramatic florals on navy or
black are excellent style. Styling
trends that make print frocks look
outstandingly new highlight sidetied drapes, animated peplums,
back-flare to skirts emphasized with
ruffled self-fabric cascades, new
harem drapes, big bustle bows and
so on; the new style details are
endless. This all goes to show that
print frocks have taken an important new fashion stride that adds
greatly to their interest.

Curfew Fashions Are
Newest Style Theme
And now curfew fashions! What
with the new curfew rulings thare
arises the need of costumes of less
formality and yet very dressy or
the re-arranged evening hours. The
reaction to all this is the return of
the semi-formal dress-up streetlength dress. Low necks, brief
sleeves, lovely material and devastating hats with beguiling accessories answer the call. For the curfew evenings designers are creating handsome short-length gowns
also suits of rich fabrics such as
faille, taffeta, moire that are enhanced with sparkling jewelled buttons, or to the dress of uncluttered
simplicity they add an important
jewelry piece or a fetching ensemble of matching necklace, bracelet
and earrings. The festive accent also
is given by wearing a huge rose at
the waistline. Superb blouses are
worn with handsome suits and the
hat, be it a tiny flower confection
or a stunning wider brim, adds the
final note of flattery.

Braid-Embroidered Tunic
Coat Is Strikingly New
A new costume coat makes its appearance, and it may be regarded
as that which is on the way as a
new fashion future. The tunic is
heavily braided in black in a detop
border effect around the hemline
and upon the turnback cuffs that finish bell sleeves that are wide at the
wrist. There is a plastron of braiding down the front and around the
collarless neckline. Altogether it is a
"grand lady" looking coat. Comes in
white, wine or pastels with black
braid.

Spanish Tradition
One of the great Spanish tradi
tions that are still followed in certain
regions of the western hemisphere
is that of bullfighting. However,
while some of the Latin American
countries are as ardent fans of the
sport as their forebears, to other
nations of the New World bull·
fighting is as unknown-and in fact
as alarming a spectacle-as it is to
the citizens of the United States. It
is probably because Mexico and '
Lima were two of the richest and l.
most important cities of the AmeriChic Frocks for Warm Weather.
c~s and both of them seats of viceroyalties that, ever since the early ••••••••••••••••••••••••*~&gt;r_,.
days of the ~olony, bulls were fought
there, Spams~-style, for the amuse- ~lmJ!11l1Wii!l®ii!t!#Oilillllll:l(OOI!Jffi:liDl~l1!'llllt.IIDill)li!IDtt!!t!!l!!!i~
ment of the VIceroys, nobles and the
·
general public. As the enthusiasm of
the population for this type of sport
increased with the years, it became, without losing its Spanish flavor, part of the national life of Mexico and Peru as well as that of
Venezuela and Colombia. While today there remain in Latin America
only a half dozen countries where
this diversion is allowed, the land of
the Aztec and that of the Inca still
are, after Spain, the principal
12 North Main Street, Crete, Illinois
strongholds and centers of bullfighting in the world, with Colombia and
Venezuela as close seconds. In a

CHICAGO-Although more than
75 per cent of America's Grade A
farm land is located in the Middle
West, an alarming share of this
priceless resource is being tost
each year by erosion and the
steady drain from marketed
crops. and livestock, according to
a statement by the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee.
The statement listed as "weapons" in the ::nti-erosion fight
such measures as "a permanent
soil building program that includes regular crop rotation. the
gro\\ ing of legumes for cover pur·
poses and adequate applications
of mi:.:cd fertilizer."
"While legumes are an impor·
tnnt source of nitrogen and help
1·eplenish the land's humus," says
the statement, "they m:lke extensive demands on the soil's SUJl·
ply of phosphorus and potash.
These demands must be met by
adequate f::tiliz~tion."

Bread stuffings is a de luxe meth·
od of stretching the family meat
dish, homemakers say. Less expensive cuts of meat can be made
a special treat by servirg a stuffing
with them. Servings of meat may
b~ smaller in s:ze when supplemented with a well-seasoned tasty
dressing.
Some of the meats which take to
stuffing are veal or beef birds, shoulder or breast of Jamb, spareribs,
flank steaks roasts of all kinds and
a variPty ~f other meat dishes.
Even hamburger can be dresse~l up
by spreading a layer of meat m a
greased pan. r'overing with ~ layer
of stuffing, topping it ofT w1th an')ther layer of meat, and then bakmg in a hot oven.
There ate only two main types of
stuffing, wet and dry. ~n dry stu.ffing the only moisture JS fat, wh1le
the wet type has milk, water or
broth added. With the wet type, caution is taken not to add too much
liquid because the stuffing will
absorb juices during cooking. For
the base of the stuffing use enriched
white or whole wheat bread, corn
bread or other whole grain bread.
A wide variety of stuffings is made
possible by adding such ingredients
as mushrooms, oysters, sausage
meat, crisp bacon, diced salt pork,
raisins, nu ts, apples, etc.

Most matrimonial strife is caused

poultry pathologist at the Umversity of New Hampshire, recent experiments have proven beyond a
doubt that the common brown or

tious bronchitis and chicken coccidiosis. Dr. Waller's experiments confirm what everyone has known for
many years: the rat is one of the
most deadly enemies the farmer has,
and regardless of the kind of farm
operation he is engaged in, the .extermination of rats is a most Important part of the farm operation.
For the purpose of his experiment,
Dr. Waller had two cages 30 inches
square, and two feet deep, lined with

Economic disaster for 55,000 Indians is rapidly taking form in the rugged mesas of the Navajo country
in Arizona and New Mexico. A million or more sheep are the direct cause of the potential blight. The real

High Pressure Spray Eorces Out, Kills Cattle Grubs
New Treatment Promises
To Conquer Ranching
Industry's Wor t Pest
Cattle grubs, those ugly parasites
that cause a loss of leather, meat
and milk valued at 100 million dolJars annually, can now be controlled
by spraying. The insecticide, mixed
with water, is blown into the hair
&lt;Jn the backs of the infested animals. At a pressure of between 250
and 400 pounds the solution penetrates the holes that the grubs have
burrowed in the skin. The grubs
&lt;:ome out and die soon afterwards.
A portable pumping unit provides
the pressure for spraying the insecti&lt;:idc. At a recent demonstration on
a ranch ncar Fresno, Calif., a group
&lt;Jf agricultural experts and farm
journal editors watched while a
herd of Hereford cattle was treated
with the spray. The animals were
dnven into a chute, and as each
one passed the operator, he played
the nozzle over ils back, washing
off dirt, grease and scabs as well
as killing the grubs.
The cattle grub and heel fly are
different forms of the same insect.
Starting in the spring, when it is
in the fiy form, the heel fly lays
eggs on the heel and belly hairs of
the animals. These eggs hatch into
maggots which work their way
through the hide and enter the
muscle tissues. During the next nine
months these maggots migrate
through the internal organs of the
cattle and come out along the back.
Cysts are formed and the maggots then turn into grubs about an
inch long. In the spring they work
their way out of the holes in the
hide and fall to the ground. Within
a few weeks they turn into heel
flies and the yearly cycle repeats itself.
The U . S. department of agriculture arrives at its $100,000,000 loss
in meat, milk and leather in the following ways:
( 1) Every hide with five or more
grub holes is classed as No. 2 grade,
at a discount of one cent a pound.
Hides with very many grub holes
must be used for by-products, as
they are not worth tanning. It is estimated that enough leather was lost
this way during 1941 to provide
shoes for a million marching men
for an entire year.
(2) Millions of pounds of the best
beef are trimmed away from grubby
carcasses every year by packers,
and this loss is reflected in the price
paid for cattle on the hoof and meat
in the retail markets.
(3) Milk production has been
shown to suffer as much as 25 per
cent from the presence of grubs in
a cow. Heel fiy attacks can cause
an equal loss in production.
(4) The migration of cattle
grubs in cattle makes them sluggish
and unthrifty. They lose weight or
do not put on weight. They require
more feed, and in some cases infection resulting in death has occurred from a crushed cattle grub
in an animal's back.
(5) The attacks of the heel fly
cause running, stampeding, and

CHICAGO - Those bumper corn
crops grandfather used to boast
about were just drops in the bucket
compared to what his grandsons are
growing in this Second World war,
according to a statement made public here by the Middle West Soil
Improvement Committee.
"In granddad's day," says the
statement, "40 acres of corn producing 40 bushels per acre-or a total
of 1,600 bush~ls-was a prime year's
work for a farmer. Today, with hybrid corn, there are plenty of farms
where one man alone can produce
between 5,000 and 6,000 bushels per
season.
"Several factors have been responsible for modern record-breaking coru yields. One is the switch
from open-pollinated varieties to
heavy -yielding hybrids. Another is
the increasing knowledge by farmers

Shoe~ Should I
to Foot Shape I

Every-Day
Conform

Shoes for everyday wear should
conform to the natural shape of the
foot.
Correct shoes are broad,
straight along the inner edge, and
rounded, not pointed, at the toes, so
that there will be no pressure from
the toe cap or seam.
Heels should be nearly as broad
at the bottom as at the top. If heels
are too high or too narrow or if
they slant too far forward, they may
weaken the ankles and cause a wob- I
bly walk and strained muscles.
They throw the weight upon the
toes and the feet are jammed into /
the fore part of the shoe to cause
bent toes, bruises, corns and weakened arches.
Shoes should be fitted to the feet
while a person stands for the feet
are largest when the entire weight
of the body is on llwm . There should
be about a half-inch of empty space
bl•yond the toes of the foot and the 11111111111111111111111111 t IIIII 11111111111111111111 r
shoes. If new shoes fit correctly,
they will be comfortable from the
start and will not have to be painfully "brokPn in."

Miracle to Egyptians
Favorite trick of Egyptian priests
to impress their parishioners was to
have the gates of the temples closed,
thus indicating that the gods were
angry. The crowds would gather, a
fire would be lighted on an altar
in the temple yard, and offering
would be made to the reluctant
gods. Presently, the awed and deeply impressed assemblage would
witness the gates of the temple slowly open, untouched by human hands.
Clearly, this was a miracle.
In reality, the miracle was a great
one. Yet, like many miracles of this
C'haractt"r, there was an explanation.
Underneath the altar was an area

California Cork
California, which has a climate
not unlike the cork growing countries of the Mediterranean, grows
more cork trees than any other
state. The quality of the bark compares with that grown in Spain and
Portugal, says Prof. Woodbridge
Metcalf, extension forester at the
University of California. The national industry, however, is still in
its infancy, and will not be able to
fill the national needs for a few
years yet. The first production con·

American Life Insurance Celebrates Its 1OOth
Anniversary by Adopting a New Actuarial Table
Which Reflects longer life of Modern Citizen
By ELl\10 SCOTT WATSON
Released by West"rn Newspaper Unlon.

N

INETEEN forty-five finds
American life insurance
observing its lOOth anniversary
and by way of celebration it's
beginning to operate under a
set of actuarial tables. Until this
year insurance companies have
been "booking" life and death
chances on the same basis as
they were figured when the first
American "life" policies were
written away back in 1845. But
this year they are discarding the
old "odds table" and putting into
effect a new one and that's a
matter of prime importance to
more than 70,000,000 Americans
who own more than 125 billion
dollars worth of life insurance.
As a matter of fact, the adoption
of the new actuarial tables in
American life insurance's centennial
)·t&gt;ar is accidental and coincidental,
rather than purposely planned. Nine
years ago state insurance commissioners and mathematical wizards of
the insurance companies recognized
the fact that the tremendous improvements in medical science had
made the old "odds table" obsolete.
In the light of modern methods of
prolonging human existence, a new
set of life expectancy standards was
needed.
But figuring out these standards
and fitting them to rates-or fitting rates to them-wasn't a simple
matter. For instance, they knew that
you-if you are 30 years old-have a
far better chance of living beyond
that age than you did two decades
ago. It was only a few decades ago
that eight out of every thousand
people died at that age. Today,
thanks to more public enlightenment
on medical matters and improvements in diet (including more
knowledge of vitamin requirements)
only two or three persons per thousand are dead at the age of 30.
Rates About the Same.
But even though the improvement in our life chances seemed to
indicate much reduced rates, this
was offset over the years by the deterioration of our interest rates and
the increased cost of doing business.
The problem of adjustment was
threefold: (1) rates according to
improved life probability; (2) company income according to lowered
return on investments; and (3) company e~penses as com:pare~ to "the
good old days" when breaKfast cost
a nickel and the company president
drew a salary of $30 per week.
The insurance commissioners had
a major mathematical problem before them. For the latter two points
-lowered earnings on invested
funds and sharply rising costs of
doing business - more than covered the slight break they showed
on their books because the doctors
were keeping us alive longer.
Nevertheless they went ahead. Alfred N. Guertin of New Jersey, was
made chairman of a commissioners group to r.ecommend the new
"Hfe" tables. Five other state commissioners sat with him. John S.
Thompson, mathematician and vice
president of the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance company of Newark, N.J.
was a committee member representing the Actuarial Society of
America.
Sixteen states enacted the socalled "Guertin law," which means
that the insurance companies doing
business in those states can in 1945
adopt the recommendation of the
Guertin committee into their future
policies. The law. became effective
January 1 of this year on an optional
basis ):Jut it bec;omes mandatory
after three years, in December, 1948.
•
How It All Began.
Centuries before Messrs. Gue-rtin
-and associates took on their herculean job, a Roman named Ulpianus devised an "odds table" for a
tew of his friends. Ulpianus was a
lawyer with a flair for figures. As a
matter of fact, his life expectancy
charts were so good that they remained unchallenged from 220 A. D.
for ~lmost 15 centuries. Even as
late as 1814, the Tuscan government
used his figures.
Not content with Lawyer Ulpianus'
ilndings, however, Edmund Halley,
known as the English astronomer
who discovered the famous Halley's
comet, undertook the job of computing "modern" mortality tables in
1693. His method was the basis for
present-day computations; namely
that of using accurate vital statistics. Halley selected the city of Breslau (you've been reading about it in
the war news from Silesia) for his
guinea pig from 1687-92-observing

MORE MEAT FOR THE
AMATEUR FISHERMAN!

Enclose 16 cents !or Pattern
No.-----Name--------------------AddresL--------------------

The recent battle of deep sea fish·
ermen for more ration points for
meat found wide public sympathy.
Nothing makes a man hungrier than
fishing.

-·-

And that goes for ordinary fisher·
men, too. Which prompted Elmer
Twitchell, the famous river, inlet
and lake angler, to come out strongly today in favor of more grub for
the amateur and semi-pro boys.

-·-

"llave you seen those lunches that
are being put up these days for the
individual small-time fisherman?"
demanded Mr. Twitchell. "Not a
calory in a carload!"

-·-

"It's reached a point where it's
almost impossible for a fisherman to
get his bait into the water. It's
snapped up in midair, not by a fish
but by fellow fishermen!" he added.

Life Aboard Ship Monotonous,
But Preferable to Foxhole
By Ernie Pyle
IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC.-The men aboard an aircraft
carrier could be divided, for purposes of clarity, into three groups.
There are the fliers, both officer-pilots and enlisted ra~iomen
and gunners, who actually fly in combat. They do nothing but
fly, and study, and prepare to fly.
Then there are the men who
maintain the fliers. The air officers, the mechanics, and myriads
of plane handlers
who shift and
push an d m a nhandle the planes
a dozen times a
day around the
deck.
These men are
ordinarily known
as
"Airedales,"
but the term isn't L.
much used on our
ship. Usually they
Ernie Pyle
just call themselves "plane-pushers."
And third is the ship's crew-the
deck hands, engineers, signalmen,
cooks, plumbers and barber~. They
run the ship, just as though 1t were
any ship in the navy.

Morale Builder ... Juicy, Colorful Pie
(See Recipes Below)
Dessert Appeal
There are some foods that just
naturally make for a good, homey
feeling. There's pie for one. The
family likes to see the preparation
and then smell
the good and finally, taste the
juicy sweetness
of berries or fruit
nestling against a
tender,
flaky
crust.
'-"
Fondness for pie goes back a long
way and has not abated even during
rationing and shortages of sugar
and frUJt. It's a good dessert with
wh1ch to top off the meal which has
been light or a little shy of appetite
appeal.
Then, too, there are cakes that fill
the need for sweetness and cater a
bit to the appetite. Fortunately
there have been developed recipes
which are low in sugar and easy to
make.
f \ good pie or cake, baked once a
week, will give the family a sense
of well being and hominess that is
so important in these days of rush
and activity. Select one of the following recipes especially designed
for wartime eating:
*Cherry-Rhubarb Pie.
1 package frozen red tart cherries
or 1 cup canned
1 package rrozen rhubarb or 2 cups
canned or fresh
1 cup juice
1 CUll sugar
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
Combine all ingredients and place
in an unbaked pie shell. Top with
full crust, crisscross or cutout
crust. Bake at 400 degrees F. for
15 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate (350 degrees) and bake 30 to
40 minutes. Meringue topping may
be used on the pie if desired. It
should be piled on after the pie has
baked, then baked for 15 minutes
longer in a moderate oven.

unbaked pie shell. Bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven.
A pie that is becoming increasingly popular is this cottage cheese pic
because it uses inexpensive ingredients for both crust and filling. The
spicy, lemony flavor is delicious and
the texture of the cheese filling is
light and fine-grained:

which may be left over cold coffee:

Cakes made with honey taste better if they are allowed to mellow for
several days before serving. Store,
covered with waxed paper, under
a cake cover, or in a large sized

~-------------------------proud that we have the narrow·
est flight deck in existence. They ' re
proud they can even hit the damr
thing.

Umun.

The fliers aren't looked upon as
Gods by the rest of the crew, but
they are respected. Hardly a man
on the crew would trade places
with them. They've seen enough
crash-landings on deck to know what
the fliers go through.
But there is a feeling-a slight
one - between the ship's regular
crew and the air maintenance crew.
The feeling is on the part of the
ship's crew. They feel that the
plane-handlers think they're prima
donnas. ·
They say to you "Them Airedales is the ones that gets all the
glory. Nobody ever hears about us.
All we do is keep the damn ship
going."

• • •

It is these "plane-pushers" who
make the flight deck of an aircraft
carrier look as gay and wildly colorful as a Walt Disney cartoon. For
they dress in bright colors.
They wear cloth helmets and
sweaters that are blue, green, red,
yellow, white or brown. They make
the flight deck look like a flower
garden in June.
"
This colorful gear isn't just a
whim. Each color identifies a special type of workman, so they can
be picked out quickly and sent on
hurried tasks.
Red is the gasoline and fire-fighting detail. Blue is for the guys who
just push the planes around. Brown
is for plane captains and mechanics.
White stands for radiomen and the
engineering bosses. Yellow is for the
plan~ directors.
Yellow is what a pilot looks for
the moment he gets on deck. For
the plane directors guide him as
though they were leading a blind
man. They use a sign language
with their hands that is the same
all over the navy, and by obeying
their signs explicitly, the pilot can
taxi his plane within two inches of
another one without ever looking at
it.

• • •

Comfortable Quarters
Enjoyed by Crew
All the pilots and ship's officers
live in "officers' country" in the forward part of the ship . They live in
comfortable cabins, housing from
one to four men.
The crew lives in compartments.
They are of all shapes and sizes.
Some hold as little as half a dozen
men. Others are big and house a
hundred men.
The navy doesn't use hammocks
anymore. Every man has a bed. It
is called a "rack." It's merely a
tubular
framework,
with
wire
springs stretched across it. It is attached to the wall by hinges, and is
folded up against the wall in the
daytime.
The "racks" aren't let down till
about seven in the evening (except
for men standing regular watch
who must sleep in the daytime).

• • •

A light carrier, such as mine, has
only about a third as many planes
as the big carriers, and less than
heM the crew, but it does exactly the
same kind of work.
Of the three types of carriers in
the navy, ours has the narrowest
flight deck of all. It's so narrow
that when planes take off they use
the left side of the deck, in order
that their right wingtip won't come
too close to the "island" as they
pass.
Our pilots and crew are quite

Carriers Belie Their
An aircraft carrier is a noble
thing. It lacks almost everything
that seems to denote nobility, yet
deep nobility is there.
A carrier has no pois e. It has no
grace. It is top-h eavy and lopsided. It has the lines of a well-fed
cow.

as the soldiers I'd known on the
other side . Furthermore, they're sc
delighted to see a stranger and have
somebody new to tall&lt; to, that they
aren't a bit standoffish.
They're all sick to death of the
isolation and monotony of the vast
Pacific. I believe they talk more
about wanting to go home than evev
the soldiers in Europe.
Their lives really are empty lives.
They have their work, and their
movies, and their mail, and that's
just about all they do have. And
nothing to look forward to.
They never see anybody but
themselves, and that gets mighty
old. They sail and sail, and never
arrive anywhere. They've not even
seen a native village for a year.
Three times they've been to remote, lifeless sandbars in the
Pacific, and have been allowed to go
ashore for a few hours and sit under
palm trees and drink three cans o1
beer. That's all.

there are boys who have been in hood of Birmingham alone.
Europe more than three years, and
have slept on the ground a good
part of that time. And they say yes,
they guess in contrast their lives
are pretty good.
Seaman Paul Begley looks at his
wartime life philosophically. He is a
farm boy from Rogersville, Tenn.
He talks a Jot in a soft voice that is
southern clear through. He's one of
the plane-pushers on the flight deck.
"I can stand this monotony all
right," he says. "The point with
us is that we' ve got a pretty good

But others yell their heads off
about their lot, and feel they're being
persecuted by being kept out of
America a year. I've heard some
boys say "I'd trade this for a fox·
hole any day." You just have to
keep . your mouth shut to a remark
like that.
At least 50 per cent of the S3ilors' conversation, when talking to a
newcomer like myself, is about three
things:
The terrible typhoon they went
through off the Philippines; the
times they were hit by Jap bombs;
and their desire to get back to
America.

Heating Will Kill
Fatal Pork Parasite
Studies by the bureau of animal
industry of the United States department of agriculture have shown several methods of destroying the
minute parasite causing the painful
and somc·times fatal disease, trichinosis. This parasite is sometimes
present in raw or imperfectly cooked
pork, and endangers the health of
pt&gt;rsons eating it. Outbreaks have
been caused by eating home-made
salame, which is a particularly
dangerous food, as usually prepared,
for seYeral rcasonc;.
It is commonly believed that old,
lean hogs make the best salame,
:md these are more apt to carry
the parasites than young hogs. Most
home-made salame is cooked little,
if at all, and is not usually stored
at very low temperatures. The situation is made worse by the fact
that eating the material is usually
started soon after it is finished.
Salame from packing houses under official inspection is a safe food,
the necessary precautions having
been taken in its preparation. Heating pork so that all portions of it attain a temperature of 137 degrees
or more, USDA scientists found, will
kill the trichinae parasite; likewise,
pork refrigerated at 5 degrees fer
at least 20 days is safe.

the total payroll has shown a steady

It was a realization of this fact
that caused the quiet, modest, softspoken Marvin Jones to shout a loudspoken "Halt" to this food-ordering

soil is properly prepared, plants can
be set more easily with the hands
than with a trowel.
The fertilizer situation generally is not as good, due to nitrogen shortage, as it was a year
ago, but Victory gardeners are
not expected to have much trouble in obtaining sufficient to sup·

The late_st w~rd on insecticides is
that supplies w1ll be about the same
as last year. Rotenone, {)ne of the
most popular garden insecticide ingredients, will be available in approximately the same quantities as
last year. Rotenone may be purchased separately, in powder form,
or as part of a prepared insecticide
suitable for the particular vegetable
or insect with which the gardener
must deal.
The ingenuity of the American
people generally, is manifest in
some of the homemade practices
which Victory gardeners have developed. For instance, when there was
a shortage in insecticide dusters, a
homely but effective method was developed by using a common cloth
bag for dusting plants. Other equally effective devices have been u!;ed
although there does not appear to be
any apparent shor~a;!e this year in

Ghost Town Awakens
The town of Maldon, 89 miles
from Melbourne, Victoria, which .,.
has been more or Jess a "ghost ¥town" since the gold mining days of :
the last century, has come alive
again through lhe federal government's decentralization - of -industry plan. In the mining era Maldon
had a population of more than 20,000, and no less than 45 hotels.
After the gold rush the place
dwindled to a mere stop on the
road with 3 hotels and 1,500 inhabitants. Now 2 new shoe factories ..
have been opened, giving employment to more than 1,500 persons.
The new factories have a capacity :
of 150,000 pairs of boots and slippers a year.

Nylon Hammocks
When G.I.s first went into South
Pacific jungles, they used a sleeping hammock with a regular mosquito netting canopy that hung to
the ground. That way - it was
thought-insects wouldn't be able
to get into the hammocks. Unbelievable as it may seem, termites
ate their way right up the netting
and then across the hammock-so
fast that they cut it like scissors,
in one night! So now nylon netting
is used. Not cnly will termites
leave it alone, but it resists mold,
dries quickly after tropical rains, is
mildewproof and weighs less than
cotton, although it has nearly twice
its tensile strength.

Bible scholars differ as to just
where Moses "stretched out his
hand over the sea; and the Lord
caused the sea to go back . . . and
the waters were divided." (Exod.
14:21). They place this action, however, between Serapeum on the
north and Suez itself on the south.
Great Bitter lake and Little Bitter
Jake occupy 24 miles of this 40-mile
reach. After the crossing, Moses
brought his people to Marah, but
"they could not drink of the waters
of Marah, for they were bitter."
(Exod. 15 :23). The Bitter lakes have
been identified by some scholars
with this Marah of the Bible. Before the 76-year-old Suez canal was
built, the Bitter lakes were dry, saltencrusted depressions. After extensi\·e dredging, the barrier at the
north end of Great Bitter lake was
opened, allowing the two dry lakes to
LE' filled with water from the Mcrli1erranean sea. Ships pass freely on
Great Bitter lake, which thus
greatly expands traffic on the canal.
Ir Little Bitter lake. ocean steam &lt; rs must stick to the dredged chanm·l.
In the 10-mile-long cut of thP
c~lllal between Little Bitter lake and
SUl z. the dredging engineers remo• ·ed mud and rock containing
great numbers of crocodiles' teeth
and bones of various large quadrupeds. Markers erected at the Red
sea end of Darius's canal to the
Nile also were found.

Roasting Nuts
When you roast nuts in a frying
pan, use only low heat and be sure
to stir the nuts constantly, until
they're hot all the way through.
You'll find the nuts, especially pecans, will darken somewhat when
they're taken off the fire, and they'll
become crisper as they cooL Drain
them on a paper towel or other absorbent paper and sprinkle them
with salt. In oven roasting, put nuts
in a shallow pan, liuch aa a pie
pan, and spread them only one layer
deep. Heat your oven only moderately hot, about 375 degrees is
about right. Stir them frequently,
drain them and salt them, juat u

American Life Insurance Celebrates Its 1OOth
Anniversary by Adopting a New Actuarial Table
Which Reflects longer life of Modern Citizen
By ELl\10 SCOTT WATSON
Released by West"rn Newspaper Unlon.

N

INETEEN forty-five finds
American life insurance
observing its lOOth anniversary
and by way of celebration it's
beginning to operate under a
set of actuarial tables. Until this
year insurance companies have
been "booking" life and death
chances on the same basis as
they were figured when the first
American "life" policies were
written away back in 1845. But
this year they are discarding the
old "odds table" and putting into
effect a new one and that's a
matter of prime importance to
more than 70,000,000 Americans
who own more than 125 billion
dollars worth of life insurance.
As a matter of fact, the adoption
of the new actuarial tables in
American life insurance's centennial
)·t&gt;ar is accidental and coincidental,
rather than purposely planned. Nine
years ago state insurance commissioners and mathematical wizards of
the insurance companies recognized
the fact that the tremendous improvements in medical science had
made the old "odds table" obsolete.
In the light of modern methods of
prolonging human existence, a new
set of life expectancy standards was
needed.
But figuring out these standards
and fitting them to rates-or fitting rates to them-wasn't a simple
matter. For instance, they knew that
you-if you are 30 years old-have a
far better chance of living beyond
that age than you did two decades
ago. It was only a few decades ago
that eight out of every thousand
people died at that age. Today,
thanks to more public enlightenment
on medical matters and improvements in diet (including more
knowledge of vitamin requirements)
only two or three persons per thousand are dead at the age of 30.
Rates About the Same.
But even though the improvement in our life chances seemed to
indicate much reduced rates, this
was offset over the years by the deterioration of our interest rates and
the increased cost of doing business.
The problem of adjustment was
threefold: (1) rates according to
improved life probability; (2) company income according to lowered
return on investments; and (3) company e~penses as com:pare~ to "the
good old days" when breaKfast cost
a nickel and the company president
drew a salary of $30 per week.
The insurance commissioners had
a major mathematical problem before them. For the latter two points
-lowered earnings on invested
funds and sharply rising costs of
doing business - more than covered the slight break they showed
on their books because the doctors
were keeping us alive longer.
Nevertheless they went ahead. Alfred N. Guertin of New Jersey, was
made chairman of a commissioners group to r.ecommend the new
"Hfe" tables. Five other state commissioners sat with him. John S.
Thompson, mathematician and vice
president of the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance company of Newark, N.J.
was a committee member representing the Actuarial Society of
America.
Sixteen states enacted the socalled "Guertin law," which means
that the insurance companies doing
business in those states can in 1945
adopt the recommendation of the
Guertin committee into their future
policies. The law. became effective
January 1 of this year on an optional
basis ):Jut it bec;omes mandatory
after three years, in December, 1948.
•
How It All Began.
Centuries before Messrs. Gue-rtin
-and associates took on their herculean job, a Roman named Ulpianus devised an "odds table" for a
tew of his friends. Ulpianus was a
lawyer with a flair for figures. As a
matter of fact, his life expectancy
charts were so good that they remained unchallenged from 220 A. D.
for ~lmost 15 centuries. Even as
late as 1814, the Tuscan government
used his figures.
Not content with Lawyer Ulpianus'
ilndings, however, Edmund Halley,
known as the English astronomer
who discovered the famous Halley's
comet, undertook the job of computing "modern" mortality tables in
1693. His method was the basis for
present-day computations; namely
that of using accurate vital statistics. Halley selected the city of Breslau (you've been reading about it in
the war news from Silesia) for his
guinea pig from 1687-92-observing

MORE MEAT FOR THE
AMATEUR FISHERMAN!

The recent battle of deep sea fish·
ermen for more ration points for
meat found wide public sympathy.
Nothing makes a man hungrier than
fishing.

-·-

And that goes for ordinary fisher·
men, too. Which prompted Elmer
Twitchell, the famous river, inlet
and lake angler, to come out strongly today in favor of more grub for
the amateur and semi-pro boys.

-·-

"llave you seen those lunches that
are being put up these days for the
individual small-time fisherman?"
demanded Mr. Twitchell. "Not a
calory in a carload!"

-·-

"It's reached a point where it's
almost impossible for a fisherman to
get his bait into the water. It's
snapped up in midair, not by a fish
but by fellow fishermen!" he added.

Fondness for pie goes back a long
way and has not abated even during
rationing and shortages of sugar
and frUJt. It's a good dessert with
wh1ch to top off the meal which has
been light or a little shy of appetite
appeal.
Then, too, there are cakes that fill
the need for sweetness and cater a
bit to the appetite. Fortunately
there have been developed recipes
which are low in sugar and easy to
make.
f \ good pie or cake, baked once a
week, will give the family a sense
of well being and hominess that is
so important in these days of rush
and activity. Select one of the following recipes especially designed
for wartime eating:

It is these "plane-pushers" who
make the flight deck of an aircraft
carrier look as gay and wildly colorful as a Walt Disney cartoon. For
they dress in bright colors.
They wear cloth helmets and
sweaters that are blue, green, red,
yellow, white or brown. They make
the flight deck look like a flower
garden in June.
"
This colorful gear isn't just a
whim. Each color identifies a special type of workman, so they can
be picked out quickly and sent on
hurried tasks.
Red is the gasoline and fire-fighting detail. Blue is for the guys who
just push the planes around. Brown
is for plane captains and mechanics.
White stands for radiomen and the
engineering bosses. Yellow is for the
plan~ directors.
Yellow is what a pilot looks for
the moment he gets on deck. For
the plane directors guide him as
though they were leading a blind
man. They use a sign language
with their hands that is the same
all over the navy, and by obeying
their signs explicitly, the pilot can
taxi his plane within two inches of
another one without ever looking at
it.

Comfortable Quarters
Enjoyed by Crew
All the pilots and ship's officers
live in "officers' country" in the forward part of the ship . They live in
comfortable cabins, housing from
one to four men.
The crew lives in compartments.
They are of all shapes and sizes.
Some hold as little as half a dozen
men. Others are big and house a
hundred men.
The navy doesn't use hammocks
anymore. Every man has a bed. It
is called a "rack." It's merely a
tubular
framework,
with
wire
springs stretched across it. It is attached to the wall by hinges, and is
folded up against the wall in the
daytime.
The "racks" aren't let down till
about seven in the evening (except
for men standing regular watch
who must sleep in the daytime).

• • •

A light carrier, such as mine, has
only about a third as many planes
as the big carriers, and less than
heM the crew, but it does exactly the
same kind of work.
Of the three types of carriers in
the navy, ours has the narrowest
flight deck of all. It's so narrow
that when planes take off they use
the left side of the deck, in order
that their right wingtip won't come
too close to the "island" as they
pass.
Our pilots and crew are quite

Carriers Belie Their
An aircraft carrier is a noble
thing. It lacks almost everything
that seems to denote nobility, yet
deep nobility is there.
A carrier has no pois e. It has no
grace. It is top-h eavy and lopsided. It has the lines of a well-fed
cow.
It doesn't cut throu gh the water
like a cruiser, knifing rom a ntically
along. It doesn't dance and cavort

It's easy to get acquaintec
aboard a naval vessel.
The sa ilors are jus t as friend!)'
as the soldiers I'd known on the
other side . Furthermore, they're sc
delighted to see a stranger and have
somebody new to tall&lt; to, that they
aren't a bit standoffish.
They're all sick to death of the
isolation and monotony of the vast
Pacific. I believe they talk more
about wanting to go home than evev
the soldiers in Europe.
Their lives really are empty lives.
They have their work, and their
movies, and their mail, and that's
just about all they do have. And
nothing to look forward to.
They never see anybody but
themselves, and that gets mighty
old. They sail and sail, and never
arrive anywhere. They've not even
seen a native village for a year.
Three times they've been to remote, lifeless sandbars in the
Pacific, and have been allowed to go
ashore for a few hours and sit under
palm trees and drink three cans o1
beer. That's all.

there are boys who have been in hood of Birmingham alone.
Europe more than three years, and
have slept on the ground a good
part of that time. And they say yes,
they guess in contrast their lives
are pretty good.
Seaman Paul Begley looks at his
wartime life philosophically. He is a
farm boy from Rogersville, Tenn.
He talks a Jot in a soft voice that is
southern clear through. He's one of
the plane-pushers on the flight deck.
"I can stand this monotony all
right," he says. "The point with
us is that we' ve got a pretty good
chance of living through this. Think

But others yell their heads off
about their lot, and feel they're being
persecuted by being kept out of
America a year. I've heard some
boys say "I'd trade this for a fox·
hole any day." You just have to
keep . your mouth shut to a remark
like that.
At least 50 per cent of the S3ilors' conversation, when talking to a
newcomer like myself, is about three
things:
The terrible typhoon they went
through off the Philippines; the
times they were hit by Jap bombs;
and their desire to get back to
America.
The typhoon was awful. Many

CHICAGO-The old adage that
"the grass is greener on the other
side of the fence" has a scientific
basis in fact, according to a statement made public here by the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee.
"When c~ttle will risk injury in
order to get into another field for
the grass on the other side, something more significant than bovine
curiosity is involved," the statement
points out. "Animal instinct and soil
fertility are closely related.

EVEN the most experienced home laundress approaches with misgtvmgs the washing of baby's tiny gnrmcnts
which look so fragile, according to the Home Editor of Capper's Farmer.
"But most baby things are more sturdy and ser{rice::tble than they appear and will give long-time us&lt;tge under repeated washings if correctly handled," she writes in the Rural Home Department of tlw nat ionnlly-cir• •1lated farm magazine. "Baby's clothes should be washed as soon as they show the least sign of soil. Uce l1 kt·warm water-and plenty of suds. Handle gently without twisting, pulling or rubbing.
"Stains should be taken care of before the gannc:nts are put into the suds. Sponge cod-liver oil :1nd w;&gt;s!&gt;ab'c

Heating Will Kill
Fatal Pork Parasite
Studies by the bureau of animal
industry of the United States department of agriculture have shown several methods of destroying the
minute parasite causing the painful
and somc·times fatal disease, trichinosis. This parasite is sometimes
present in raw or imperfectly cooked
pork, and endangers the health of
pt&gt;rsons eating it. Outbreaks have
been caused by eating home-made
salame, which is a particularly
dangerous food, as usually prepared,
for seYeral rcasonc;.
It is commonly believed that old,
lean hogs make the best salame,
:md these are more apt to carry
the parasites than young hogs. Most
home-made salame is cooked little,
if at all, and is not usually stored
at very low temperatures. The situation is made worse by the fact
that eating the material is usually
started soon after it is finished.
Salame from packing houses under official inspection is a safe food,
the necessary precautions having
been taken in its preparation. Heating pork so that all portions of it attain a temperature of 137 degrees
or more, USDA scientists found, will
kill the trichinae parasite; likewise,
pork refrigerated at 5 degrees fer
at least 20 days is safe.

the total payroll has shown a steady

The University of Maryland previously had demonstrated the practicability of shipping eggs by plane

a recent survey.
With the bumper crop last year,

due to manpower shortages, garden·
ers are advised to get their seed
orders in immediately. The help

As a matter of
fact, most gardeners buy their seed

local stores, so this
warning will apply
those who send in to the
seed houses for their seed
It is advisable, however,
for all gardeners to lay in their
seed supplies early. This can be
done immediat,.,lv after the garden
has been mapjJ&lt;'d out and planned,
or just as soon a~ local stores·receive their spring sl11pments of
seeds. In many sections of Lhe country these supplies are alrci:ldy on
display.
Farm gardeners and expettPI1CPd
growers in the smaller towns k ouw
pretty well their needs in the way ur
garden tools.
But for the small
backyard or vacant lot garden very
few tools are actually necessary. It
is better to buy a few simple, highgrade, substantial tools that will
serve well for many years, than
equipment which is poorly designed
or made of cheap or low-grade materials that will not last. In most
instances a good spade or s!)ading
fork, a steel bow rake, a 7-inch
common hoe, a strong cord for laying off rows and enough garden
hose to reach all parts of the garden with water are all that is essential. A trowel is useful in transplanting, but is not essential. If the
soil is properly prepared, plants can
be set more easily with the hands
than with a trowel.
The fertilizer situation generally is not as good, due to nitrogen shortage, as it was a year
ago, but Victory gardeners are
not expected to have much trouble in obtaining sufficient to sup·
ply their needs.
The same Victory garden grades
used in 1944 will be in effect this
year. This means that for the At-

The late_st w~rd on insecticides is
that supplies w1ll be about the same
as last year. Rotenone, {)ne of the
most popular garden insecticide ingredients, will be available in approximately the same quantities as
last year. Rotenone may be purchased separately, in powder form,
or as part of a prepared insecticide
suitable for the particular vegetable
or insect with which the gardener
must deal.
The ingenuity of the American
people generally, is manifest in
some of the homemade practices
which Victory gardeners have developed. For instance, when there was
a shortage in insecticide dusters, a
homely but effective method was developed by using a common cloth
bag for dusting plants. Other equally effective devices have been u!;ed
although there does not appear to be
any apparent shor~a;!e this year in
the commercial small dusters and
sprayers.

When using materials which are
known to be lethal to bees, livestock

means thereto, use only such methods of application and under such
climatic conditions as to prevent
damage to bees, animals or other

Human beings have "two pairs''
of eves-one for seeing by day and
the ~ther by night. The retina of the
eve has two kinds of light reeeivers the cones and the rods. The
cones gh·e sharp vision in daylight
and they are the elements which
distinguish colors. The rods. on the
other hand, do not ha\·e sharp VIS·
ion and they function best in dim
light. They are unable to distinguish
color, and for that reason color.ed
ubjects appear gray under dun
light when the rods are doing
most of the work of seeing. When the
second pair of eyes go to work on
the night shift. they ease into
their task gradually. Usually a pt•rson is unconscious of the transition.
As the sun goes down the light
diminishes over a long period
and the rods automatically tune
themselves up for sl~eing in dim
light. However, when a person
quickly goes from bright illwninalion into a dark room. as from the

Ghost Town Awakens
The town of Maldon, 89 miles
from Melbourne, Victoria, which .,.
has been more or Jess a "ghost ¥town" since the gold mining days of :
the last century, has come alive
again through lhe federal government's decentralization - of -industry plan. In the mining era Maldon
had a population of more than 20,000, and no less than 45 hotels.
After the gold rush the place
dwindled to a mere stop on the
road with 3 hotels and 1,500 inhabitants. Now 2 new shoe factories ..
have been opened, giving employment to more than 1,500 persons.
The new factories have a capacity :
of 150,000 pairs of boots and slippers a year.

Nylon Hammocks
When G.I.s first went into South
Pacific jungles, they used a sleeping hammock with a regular mosquito netting canopy that hung to
the ground. That way - it was
thought-insects wouldn't be able
to get into the hammocks. Unbelievable as it may seem, termites
ate their way right up the netting
and then across the hammock-so
fast that they cut it like scissors,
in one night! So now nylon netting
is used. Not cnly will termites
leave it alone, but it resists mold,
dries quickly after tropical rains, is
mildewproof and weighs less than
cotton, although it has nearly twice
its tensile strength.

Bible scholars differ as to just
where Moses "stretched out his
hand over the sea; and the Lord
caused the sea to go back . . . and
the waters were divided." (Exod.
14:21). They place this action, however, between Serapeum on the
north and Suez itself on the south.
Great Bitter lake and Little Bitter
Jake occupy 24 miles of this 40-mile
reach. After the crossing, Moses
brought his people to Marah, but
"they could not drink of the waters
of Marah, for they were bitter."
(Exod. 15 :23). The Bitter lakes have
been identified by some scholars
with this Marah of the Bible. Before the 76-year-old Suez canal was
built, the Bitter lakes were dry, saltencrusted depressions. After extensi\·e dredging, the barrier at the
north end of Great Bitter lake was
opened, allowing the two dry lakes to
LE' filled with water from the Mcrli1erranean sea. Ships pass freely on
Great Bitter lake, which thus
greatly expands traffic on the canal.
Ir Little Bitter lake. ocean steam &lt; rs must stick to the dredged chanm·l.
In the 10-mile-long cut of thP
c~lllal between Little Bitter lake and
SUl z. the dredging engineers remo• ·ed mud and rock containing
great numbers of crocodiles' teeth
and bones of various large quadrupeds. Markers erected at the Red
sea end of Darius's canal to the
Nile also were found.

Roasting Nuts
When you roast nuts in a frying
pan, use only low heat and be sure
to stir the nuts constantly, until
they're hot all the way through.
You'll find the nuts, especially pecans, will darken somewhat when
they're taken off the fire, and they'll
become crisper as they cooL Drain
them on a paper towel or other absorbent paper and sprinkle them
with salt. In oven roasting, put nuts
in a shallow pan, liuch aa a pie

deep. Heat your oven only moderately hot, about 375 degrees is
about right. Stir them frequently,

IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC.-We were up an hour and a
half before daylight, for our planes had to be in the air at tbe first
hint of dawn.
The first patrol was always launched by catapult, because
in the wind-swept semi-darkness, it was too dangerous for them
to make the run down the rollin~,_d_e_c_k_.____________
After seeing the flights launched
the first few days, it became old
stuff, and I would
I have stayed in

it, but that was
impossible. The
catapult's
huge
launching machinery was directly
above my cabin,
and every time it
shot a plane off it

fallen on the ship. Rip Van Winkle

Homemade Breads Stimulate Appetites
(See Recipes Below)

Let's Bake Breads
If you want to fill your home with
delectable aroma, there's nothing
like freshly baked
breads with
which to do it.
Saturday baking
is something
which the present
generation knows
little or nothing
about, because it's so easy to buy
good bread.
Breads should be light and tender,
tender crusted and flavor-packed.
Hard to tlo? No, easy if you follow
instructions. Many are the cooks
who have baked perfect bread the
first time they've tried.
Kneading is important, but this is
not difficult. ·This is done by pushing the heel part of the palm down
intQ the dough and folding over, then
repeating the process over and over
again. Once you establish the routine, there's a kind of fascinating
rhythm to it. The dough should be
kneaded until satiny and smooth.
Don't try to hurry up the rising
process. It takes just so long, a_nd
good bread can't be hurried along.
The temperature should be fairly
warm, around 80 to 85 de~rees Fahrenheit for bread raising.
If you want to avoid the dark
5treaks in bread, add all the flour
at the time of mixing. If added later, flour gives a coarse texture and
makes unattractive streaks in the
bread.
Two processes are used in making bread. If the sponge method is
employed, the yeast is allowed to
work in a batter-like mixture before other ingredients are combined
with it. In the straight method, all
ingredients are combined at once.
If you are trying to save on sugar, here is a good recipe to follow
for maki11g bread:
•Enriched Bread.
(Makes 4 1-pound loaves)
2 cups milk
~~ cup light corn syrup or honey
4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 cups water
1 cake yeast
~i cup water (lulcewarm)
12 cups sifted enriched flour
Scald milk.
Add syrup, salt,
!ihortening or water. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast ~Jj
which has been
softened in lf4 cup
lukewarm water.
Add flour gradually, mixing it
thoroughly. When
-dough is stiff, place on lightly floured
board and knead until satiny and
smooth. Shape into smooth ball.
Place in greased bowl. Cover and
let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch down. Let rise
again. V{hen light, divide into 4
equal portions. Round up each portion into a smooth ball. Cover and
let rise 10 to 15 minutes. Mold into
loaves. Place into greased pans
and let rise until doubled in bulk.

Lynn Says:
Sweet Toppings: The foundation recipe for rolls may be
varied many times to give variety to rolls and coffee cakes.
Here are several good topping
suggestions:
Mix lh cup sugar, 2 tablespoons
grated orange peel and 2 tablespoons orange juice on top of coffee cake during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Or, cream together 2 tablespoons of butter with 4 tablespoons brown sugar, lf4 cup nutmeats, chopped, and lh cup coconut. Spread on coffee cake just
a few minutes before it finishes
baking and brown under broiler.
Mix 2 tablespoons butter with
';'4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour,
liz teaspoon each cinnamon and
nutmeg and lf4 cup chopped nutmeats. Sprinkle on top of quick
coffee cake batter.

Released by We:.tern Newspaper Unlon.

The fighter pilots were given their
last briefing. In the "ready room"
the squadron commander and intelligence officer showed them on
maps and by drawings on the blackboard, just where they would strike.
The squadron commander asked
how many of the pilots had no wrist
watches. Six held up their hands.
The funny part was that the ship
had no extra wrist watches, so I
don't know why he asked the question in the first place.
Then he told what our approximate total of planes over Japan
would be, and how many it was
probable the Japs would put up
against us. And then he said:
"So you see, each one of us will
only have to take care of three Jap
planes!"
The pilots all laughed and looked
at each other sheepishly. (Days
later, when the final scores were in,
we found our force had destroyed
Japs at nine-to-one.)
And at the end of his briefing,
the squadron commander gave strict
orders for the pilots not to shoot at
Japs coming down in parachutes.
"They're supposed to do it to us,"
he said, "but it isn' t the thing for
us to do."

• • •

.

The bomber pilots and their en-'
listed gunners and radiomen were
briefed the same way. After the intelligence officer had finished, the
squadron commander said:
"We're going to dive low on the
target before releasing our bombs.
Since we're risking our necks anyhow, there's no point in going &amp;t
all unless we can do some damage,
so go down low."

• • •

All through the various strikes on

Japan, our task force kept enough
planes back to fly a constant blanket
of protection in the sky above us.
I remember the funny sign chalked
on the blackboard of the "ready
room" first day, urging our patrol
pilots to extra vigilance for Jap
planes that might sneak out from
the mainland to attack us. The
sign said:
"Keep alert-remember your poor
scared pals on the ship!"

We didn't know whether our first
planes over the mainland would surprise the Japs or not. It didn't seem
possible, yet there were no indications that they knew.
For two days on our approach we
had been knocking off Jap reconnaissance planes and picket boats.
We hoped we had got these scattered planes and boats before they
had time to radio back home the
news of our presence. One of our destroyers had even sat all day on top
of a Jap sUbmarine to keep him
from corning to the top and sending
a warning.
But still we didn't know fol! sure,
so there was tenseness that first
morning. We knew almost exactly what time our first planes would
be over the Tokyo area.
We went to the radio room to listen. The usual Japanese programs
were on the air. We watched the
clock. Suddenly-at just the right
time-the Jap stations all went off
the air.
There was silence for a few minutes. And then the most Donald
Duck-like screaming and jabbering you eve r heard. The announcer
was so excited you had to laugh

hoping. And as the blackboard sign
said, of being poor scared pals.
Finally all but six of our planes
were back from their strike on Tokyo
and safely landed.
The six formed a separate flight,
and we couldn't believe that all of
them had been lost, and for that
reason our officers didn't feel too
concerned.
And then came a radio message

from the flight leader. It said that

In the meantime, the ship's progress was slow. It took almost two
hpurs to get the,re. And one by
one the aerial escort began getting trouble, and one by one Fecke
ordered them home to our ship,
which was getting farther away all
the time.
Lt. Irl Sonner of Petaluma, Calif.,
lost the use of his radio, and had to
leave.
Lt. Max Barnes of Olympia,
Wash., got dangerously low on gas,
and Fecke sent him home. Gas
shortage also sent back Lt. Bob Murray of Muncie, Ind.
That left only Lieutenant Fecke
circling above the man in the boat,
and Lt. Arnold Berner of Springdale, Ark., flying lone aerial escort
for the rescue ship.
Finally the ship was past the bay
entrance. The skipper began to have
his doubts. He had to go within
three miles of the gun-dotted island.
He was within five minutes flying
distance of land, and J ap planes
could butcher him.
Furthermore he looked at his
chart, and saw that he was in "restricted waters," meaning they were
probably mined. It was certainly no
place for a ship to be.
The skipper radioed Fecke and
said he couldn't go any farther.
Fecke radioed back and said, "It's
only two miles more. Please try."
The skipper answered and said,
"Okay, we'll try."
And they pulled it off. They went
right into the lion's mouth, pulled
out our pilot, and got safely away.
Then, and then only, did Fecke and
Berner start home.
They came back to us three hours
after all the rest had returned.
They had flown six hours on a
three-hour mission. But they helped
save an American life by doing so.

they almost seem to be sneaking up

But it's been worked out by years
of experience, and it's the best way.
Everything is straightened out in the
last few seconds of flying. That isif it works.

Really soothing because they're
Ttally medicated. Each E &amp; F

WNU Stalf Corre•pondenl.

Stripped of all technical verbiage, the proposals agreed upon by 44 United Nations at the
Bretton Woods conference and
which are considered an essential part of the world peace plan
to be approved at San Francisco
April 25, are designed toI.-Set up an international monetary fund with a working capital subf&gt;cribed by 44 nations in gold and
member currencies totaling 8.8 billion dollars of which the United
States is to subscribe 2.75 billions.
This fund is expected to stabilize
ancl safeguard the value of foreign
currencies in terms of gold, remove
trade barriers in favor of open or
reciprocal trade agreements to provide free and open trade among
member nations.
2.-0rganize an international bank
for reconstruction and development
with a subscribed capital of 9.1 billions of dollars of which the United
States is to furnish 3.175 billions.
Purpose of the bank is primarily to
facilitate flotation of foreign loans in
private capital markets by providing
International guarantees and to
matte long-term capital loans direct
to member nations for specific projects of reconstruction and development.
Why the need for these safeguards? Following World War I
American investors took a beating,
and in the late 1920s were caught in
an epidemic of defaults by foreign
debtors. Under the Bretton Woods
proposals, these foreign loans would
be investigated by the bank and then
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the foreign government
and the bank. Risks then, of internatiOnal loans, would not fall on investors themselves, nor even on
any one country, but upon all of
the 44 member countries. Obviously the objective of this guarantee of
lonns is to encourage a substantial
volume of private international invt•stment which is essential to our
own economic well being.
Great Need for Rebuilding.
France, Italy, Norway, Poland,
Finland, Czechoslovakia, a large
area of Russia, the Balkan nations,
large sections of England, China,
much of India and Burma, plus the
Axis Pations of Germany and Japan, have been laid waste by the
war, their productive facilities prostrate, their currencies depreciated,
and many years will be required for
them to rebuild their export industries. They will require foreign capital to get under way.
In our own country we have a tremendously enlarged productive in'lustrial plant. Our agricultural proJudion has reached a new high of
efficiency. After the war our economic policy will be aimed at full
employment and full utilization of
our agricultural and industrial facilities, To realize these aims new
outlets for the products of farm and
factory must be found and these
prostrate foreign countries provide
a ready market providing that
American exports take the form of
American investments abroad-good
American dollars-for· if these nations are to buy a large volume of
our productive machinery, our industrial and agricultural products in
the imme-diate postwar period,
American investors will have to lend
part of the purchase money. Under
the functions of the international
bank, these investors will have the
c:ssurance that these investments
are sound and remunerative.
Under the operation of tile monetary fund, as distinguished from the
bank, fer the protection of our inve~1ors, currencies in all these countries must be stabilized in terms of
gold and at equitable rates of exchange. The United States holds 60
per cent of the world's gold supply.
Economists point out there must be
elimination of exchange fluctuations,
of discriminatory exchange practices, of competitive currency depreciations, if the American dollar is
to be protected.
For instance, how can the American farmer be protected in the
world market if a sizable wheat producing country such as Russia and
Argentina can resort to monetary
action which places the wheat producers of those countries in a preferred position with respect to American wheat exporters? If the American farmer is to continue to export
wheat or any other commodity, and
to receive a fair price in good American dollars for the product he sells
at home, he must know that the

TIRED, ACHY

During a lull in the proceedings of the Bretton Woods conference,
U. s. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau (center) got into
informal conversation with the Hon. J. L. Ilsey, minister of finance for
Canada and chairman of that nation's delegation (left), and J.U. S. Stepanov, chairman of the Russian delegation. These chats helped to iron out
many o£ the smaller problems.
world price of wheat or other commodity in terms of our own dollars,
will not be seriously disturbed by
large fluctuations in the principal exporting and importing countries.
Stabilized Currencies.
So the purpose of the international
monetary fund is to stabilize and
promote a balanced growth of international trade by stabilizing the
value of all currencies in terms of
each other; progressively remove
barriers against making payments
across boundary lines, such as high
tariffs or other trade restrictions;
and to provide a supplementary
source of foreign exchange to which
a member country may apply for
the assistance necessary to enable
it to maintain stable and unrestricted exchange relationships with other member countries.
For instance, in some countries
importers are not permitted to purchase dollars required to buy goods
in the United States. In other countries, of which Germany was an example before the war, foreign trade
was disrupted by use of so-called
multiple currencies, or barter arrangements, and during the war
many new restrictions have been
devised because of military necessity.
The operation of the monetary fund
is intended to remove all these restrictions and set up a standard and
uniform practice, currency value
and exchange rates so that American business may have the greatest
possible freedom in international
trade in the postwar era. The same
freedom is intended to be provided
for business in the other countries,
for freedom of business would be
meaningless unless these other countries accorded an equal measure of
freedom to their own people.
There has been criticism aimed
at these proposals from some bankers on the grounds that they are
contrary to sound and established
banking practices. There has been
praise and approval from other
bankers.
As a matter of record, criticism
from bankers, at least some banking groups, has been directed at any
departure from established custom,
that is, custom and practice established by the bankers themselves.
For instance, some banking groups
criticized bank deposit insurance.
Criticism was aimed at government
guaranteed loans on homes and
farms; at 20-year loans on homes
when the custom had been 3 to 5
years; at 4 and 5 per cent interest
rates, when the practice had been
6 to 8 per cent and higher. These
practices today, however, are an accepted part of our domestic economy.
Criticism from the larger international bankers has been directed at
the Bretton Woods proposals, no
doubt because governments will control fiscal and monetary policies on
an international scale, and also because interest rates under these proposals will be lower.
U. S. Benefits Most.
\
Another criticism has been directed at the bank and the fund because
the United States is the largest subscriber. It is argued here, however,
that from any fair standard, this
country should be the largest subscriber because we have more to
gain than any other country. We
have the money to lend, we have
a large part of tn&lt;= world's gold and
we have the facilities no other nation has to provide export goods in
the immediate postwar period. Lastly, we have been untouched by the
ravages of war insofar as our material wealth is concerned.

One of the most important groups
to give approval to Bretton Woods
proposals is the Committee for Economic Development, headed by Paul
G. Hoffman, president of the Studebaker corporation. This group, made
up of bankers, economists and business leaders would even give the international bank further power to
make loans for long-term and short·
term stabilization purposes, claiming that under the present regulations, the bank does not have that
clear-cut power.
There have been some suggestions
favoring the establishment of the
bank, but suggesting that setting up
and operation of the monetary fund
be delayed until conditions abroad
settle down to normality. It is pointed out, however, that the bank and
the fund are closely related, both in
concept and organization and that
membership in the bank is open only
to those who are members of the
fund. It is also pointed out that the
bank is, to a considerable extent,
dependent upon the fund for the reason that the fund must first establish values of the moneys to be
loaned by the bank if there is to
be a smooth long-range planning and
investment program.
While most sound economists
agree there must be some system of
international control or agreement
after the war, the only alternative
offered has been a system of bloc
agreements. These a~e regarded by
many as dan~erous, swce such bloc
agreeme.n~s hkely . v:ould lead to a
worl~ d1v1ded pohhcally a~d economtcally.
Eventual conlhct between these groups would be likely.
Chance for Leadership.
Pointing to the leadership the
United States has maintained during
the war, fiscal experts here declare
that never before has this nation occupied such a key position or h3d
such an opportunity to take ovt&gt;r
world leadership in the economic
field. Governmental leaders, including Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, look upon the Bretton
Woods agreements as just as essential to world peace and security as
the Dumbarton Oaks agreements.
Secretary Morgenthau maintains
they are inseparable. Hence his urgent appeal to the congress for legislation which will insure this nation's
participation prior to the world parley at San Francisco April 25.
Acceptance by the congress of
these agreements before convening
of the delegates of United Nations
at San Francisco, these leaders say,
would be taken as a happy augury of
this nation's sincerity. It would give
notice to all that the United States,
instead of choosing economic isolation, which would inevitably lead to
political isolation, is already on record with a determination to do our
part toward the attainment of world
pence and security.
In a special message to the CO!Jgress February 20, President Roosevelt, referring to the Bretton Woods
proposals, said: "It is time for the
United States to take the l ead in
establishing the principle of economic cooperation as the foundation for
expanded world trade. We propose
to do this, not by setting up a
supergovernment, but by international negotiation and agreement. directed to the improvement of the
monetary institutions of the world
and the laws that govern trade . . .
the international fund and bank together represent one of the most
sound and useful proposals for .international collaboration now before
us."
And that is what the Bretton
Woods proposals are designed to do
. . . a product of the best minds of
the 44 United Nations of the world.
Dr. H. H. Kung, minister of finance for China and chairman of
the Chinese delegation, talks over international
finance
with
Lord
Keynes of England, famed economist and monetary authority, who
heads the British group of delegates.
Chinese currency has been devalued by inflation, a result of the
long war with Japan. British bankers are concerned about Chinese
financial stability, not only as part
of the world monetary situation,
but because of the extensive British
business interests in China.

Give Rule for Keeping
Leftovers Nourishing

~UGG£STS

SPR\NGTIME DANGERS

THE CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB

ODOO

"Cold and covered" is the rule for
keeping most leftovers attractive
and nourishing. And another slogan
about storage might be, "Make it
snappy." Use leftover foods as soon
as possible-if they stand around a
long time, they won't taste good or
look good-and remember, air is a
robber of vitamins.
If leftovers are "congenial," store
them together. For example, potatoes, peas and carrots can all go
into the same little jar or covered
dish. Keep two jars for juice in the
refrigerator; one for fruit juices,
and one for the cooking liquid from
vegetables. Fruit juices can go into
a chilled fruit drink or into a gelatin salad. Vegetable liquors can
give flavor and vitamins to soups,
cream sauce or vegetable juice
drinks.
Potatoes are one of the most
adaptable leftovers. They keep well,
too, especially if you cook them in
the jackets. Leftover potatoes tit
nicely into soup, stew or salad. They
are good hash-browned, creamed,
or browned whole with a touch of
onion. Mashed potatoes don't keep
quite so well as boiled ones, so use
them within two or three days.
They make a fine lining or topping
fur a vegetable or m~:at pie, or, add
an egg and bit of milk for a baked
?Olato puff.

Shade Trees
Early spring is an excellent timeo
to feed shade trees, as well a~ fruit
trees. Keep your trees thrifty, for
the more vigorous the growth of a
tree, the less subject the tree will
be to disease and insect attack.
Make application of plant food about
the time buds are swelling. A series
of holes should be made in a zigzag
fashion under the drip of the
branches; the most satisfactory instrument to use is a~ earth auger,
obtainable in hardware and gardening departments. Make holes about
2 inches in diameter and 18 inche"
d&lt;'PP. The amount of plant food
needed is determined by allowing 3
pounds to each inch of diameter of
the trunk, measuring the trunk 4
feet above the ground. Fill the holes
with a mixture of half plant food
and half !!oil.
Then water thorough!y_

.:aim Tree

The Cat nauba palm tree belongs
to the Palmaceae family. In addition
to producing wax, the lower leaves
are used to cover roofs of houses,
and storerooms. They can also be
used for the manufacture of ropes,
sacks, mats, fire-fans and cheap
hats. The upper leaves are used for
baskets and better hats. The fibers
are excellent for cordage, nets, blankets, casting nets and for stuffing
cushions and mattresses. The heart
of the plant produces a nutritive
fecula with a starch content of 89.837
per cent. If allowed to ferment, it
produces a wine-like be\:erag.e ~nd
eyen Yinegar. A preparatiOn sm1tlar
to sarsaparilla can be extracted
from the roots, and it is used for
medicinal purnoses. It produces a
nutritive wi11e bn·erage and also
vinegar. The fruit has an astringent
pulp but animals like it, and it is
used in the fattening of hogs. A
very pleasant beverage~ can be obtained from the fruit and flour from
the residue.

Bread, that well known staff, does
more to support life now than ever
beforl:', because white bread and
flour are enriched, as a war measure, with iron and three complex
vitamins-thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Before 1941 it was found that
the diets of one-third to one-half o!
the American people were deficient
in these nutrients, needed for
healthy nerves and appetite and for
extending the prime of life and
delaying old age. As a result, enrichment came about as a war measure
and it will expire six months after
the war ends unless legislation is
enacted to continue it. Enriched
bread not only supplies iron and
the three B complex vitamins but,
since it is eaten in large amounts
by almost everybody, also provides
a fair amount of calcium, protein and food energy. Thus, except
for vitamins A, D and C, enriched
bread furnishes significant amounts
of all known nutrients for which allowances have been established. It
does this in 1 thrifty, tasty manner
and in a way we like, because
Americans demand their white
bread. Eat your enriched bread and
enjoy it, knowinc that, if you are a
moderately ae~ive adult and consume six slieea daily, it will give
you these proportions of your daily
diet requirements: 21 per cent of
protein, 14 per cent of c:1lcium, 9
per cent of ril•oflavin and 23 per
cent of thiamin.

Fixed Laws
Economic laws are laws of nature,
rigid. They are divine laws in the
same sense that the law of gravity
, is a law of God. Such laws were in
force long before the first man-made
statute was ever written, and no
natural law was ever repealed by
act of parliament. Natural laws can
be broken but they all carry within
themselves suitable penalties for
violation; hard to escape.
Under natural Jaw, every producer
earns a profit when he serves the
public well; takes a loss when he
serves the public poorly. When
manipulators, government P,lanners
or any other kind, use artificial price
controls, they violate natural law.
It makes no difference whether the
aim is greed or to protect "lame
ducks" from loss. Price controls encourage incompetence.
Wheat Price Parity
Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of
Agriculture, recently told an audience of wheat growers in St. Paul
that U. S. production last year was
1100 million bushels compared to
800 million in a typical prewar year.
This is deemed to forecast a postwar over-production of HiD million
bushels or more a year. There is a
law compelling government to hold
~~p wheat prices for two years after
the war.
Taxpayers may as well brace
themselves. It is time to start wondering what it's going to cost per
bushel to prop up the wheat price
and hold it at parity; or what bonus
per acre must be paid to non-growers of wh eat for not growing wheat.
Another wonder: Can the price support be removed after two years or
must the taxpayers continue guaranteeing a wheat price indefinitely?
Obset·ve Natural Law
There is an honorable way: Leave 1
each industry's problen1 for men of
that industry to solve. Using
wheat as an example, permit the l
Department of Agriculture to pre-,
pare such data as Mr. Wickard
gave the farmers and make the
figures available to the whole industry. Let the farmers use their
own judgment in the light of the
facts. They will do a better job than
government m en, and it will not
cost the taxpayers anything.
One advantage is obvious : Men
of an industry can consider an
industrial problem unblinded by a
dust storm of political considerations. Government's proper function is to serve the citizens. Government can get statistics more conveniently than an organization of
business men, and government experts undoubtedly can offer valuable
interpretations , but interference is
not help.
Men Can Think
Business men can understand
government figures, interpret them
and apply what they have learned.
Figures from the Department of
Commerce and the Census Bureau
have benefited many industries in
the past, interpreted by statisticians
in the employ of trade associations.
If wheat is over-produced one year,
bread will be cheap. The next year,
wheat men can plan more cautiously.
What did the cotton subsidy do
but open the gate for rayon to storm
the cotton planter's market? A fictitious wheat price can only bring
that industry some .similar calamity.
It is bad enough to h:ive loyal citizens taxed without mercy to build
a false price structure; worse when
you know that the result wilJ be to
lift a big essential industry off its
economic foundation and pennanently cripple it.

Discoloration of the inside of
met2l lids in home-canned fruits
usuallv is harmless, and if the fruit
is not otherwise spoiled, it may
IJe eaten with safety. Even tbough
the lid is covered with lacquer or
enamel, the coating is not always
perfect and a small amount of the
metal may be exposed; this may
rust if air is left in the jar. Certain
foods, especially peas and corn, contain considerable sulfur; some of
this may be broken down during
the processing to the gas hydrogen sulfide which reacts with the
metal of the lid to form sulfides
which are brown or black, the most
common cause of discolored areas in
lids. Lids may b~ stained a purplish
color by berries or dark cherries ,or they may have a scum of
dark mold on them. After a time
the mold may grow into the food in
which case it should be discarded
as the mold may make possible
spoilage by Bacillus botulinus. Acid
foods such as fruits, tomatoes or
pickles may dissolve considerable
zinc by working behind the porcelain in the old type of lids. Zinc
poisoning is not apt to resul_t in
death, but it can cause severe digestive disturbances.

German dald litter road as British Tommies drive toward Berlin in
rout of enemy forces on 21st army front.

EUROPE:

DEMOBILIZATION:

Last Great Arsenal

Small Scale

The last great source of Germany's supply of war materiel had
been sealed off as tanks of Lieutenant General Hodges' U. S. 1st
army swept before them all resistance ln their spectacular dash towards Berlin. The British 2nd army,
pounding across the north German
plain, had steadily drawn closer and.
closer to the 1st army. Ruhr valley
war production centers had been effectively sealed off.
Typical of the magnitude of the
American forces was the one-day
bag of 14,000 Nazi prisoners taken
by General Patton's 3rd army in its
sensational drive eastward.
City after city had fallen into Allied hands under Eisenhower's steam
roller. Among the rich prizes were
Frankfurt - on - the - Main (546,000), ranking ninth in the German
Rei&amp;, Mannheim (283,000) which
fell to Lieutenant General Patch's
7th army, and Essen which led all
Europe in the production of munitions.
Clearly the final doom of Nazi power was sounding. Prime Minister
Churchill of Great Britain declared
he believed the "hour of success"
was at hand. Still some military
authorities pointed out that a final
Nazi stand might be made in mountainous southern Germany buttressed by defenses in northern Italy
and the industrial resources of
Czechoslovakia.
Spring rains and fog had kept the
Italian front quiet, but observers
had expected Gen. Mark Clark's
armies to begin massive smashes
northward.

Though some combat troops in
the European theater of war will be
demobilized after Germany's fall, all
service, air force and naval personnel will be retained to continue the
fight against the Japanese, officials
indicated.
Demobilization of some combat
troops will result from inability to
make full use of them in the Pacific
for geographic reasons, it was said,
but the exact extent of release will
depend upon conditions in Europe.
All members of the service branches
will be needed for the construction
of staging areas and bases in the
Pacific, and the air force intends to
bring its full weight to bear against
the Japanese.
Because all approaches to the Pacific theater of war are over water,
and because ships will have to bear
the bulk of supplies, all naval personnel will be required to bring
about the Japanese's fall as quickly
as possible, Fleet Admiral King declared.

Relentless Red.'f
In the East, Russian armies had
kept up their relentless pressure on
Berlin and elsewhere with armored divisions sweeping over the
Austrian border from western Hungary and closing ever closer on
Vienna.
Marshall Rokossovsky's 2nd White
Russian army battered deeper into
Danzig.
Once unconditional surrender was
achieved, civil affairs in Germany
would be under direction of Maj.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, who had had
charge of materiel procurement for
the army service forces when War
Mopilization Director Byrnes borrowed him last December as his deputy in charge of the war program.
The appointment, the White House
said, was made by Gen. George
Marshall, army chief of staff. Clay
was appointed deputy to General
Eisenhower.

PACIFIC:
Worst to Come
Already feeling the sting of heavy
U. S. aerial bombardment, Japanese

found no comfort in Gen. H. H.
("Hap") Arnold's announcement
that America would bring the full
weight of its tremendous air power
to bear upon the Nipponese once the
war in Europe ended.
As Arnold spoke, the strategic
Ryukyu islands stretching between
the Jap homeland and Formosa became the latest target for American
assaults, with carrier planes teaming with warships in blasting the 500mile-Jong chain preparatory to
ground attack.
In declaring that the U. S. planned
to use every plane against the Japanese after Germany's fall to hasten their defeat, General Arnold
said that not only would American air power smash the enemy's
industry, but it would also shatter his communication lines to bring
about his collapse.

MANPOWER:
Buck Controls
Though the Pre~ident made a
strong appeal for passage of the
compromise manpower control bill,
under which plants would be limited
in the number of persons they could
employ and workers and farmers
alike would be frozen to present
jobs, the measure encountered rough
going in the senate.
Despite the fact that the legislation fell short of military leaders'
demands for a labor draft, the President said, its terms assured continued high production for the knockout
blow against Germany, and provided for keeping workers on the job
after the Nazis' fall.
Senators pointed up the great wartime production record of the U. S.
in opposing legislation tightening
control over both employers and employees, and O'Mahoney (Wyo.) hit
arguments that passage of the bill
would convince G.I.s that the home
front was behind them. Rather, he
said, defeat of the measure would
assure them of retention at home of
the freedoms for which they are
fighting.

TARIFF:
Fight Renewed
Calling for authority to slash tariffs 50 per cent under J anuary, 1945,
levels in an extension of the reciprocal trade agreements act for three
years, President Roosevelt touched
off a renewal of the historic tariff
fight in congress.
While the President said that
further tariff cuts would offer
other countries the opJ&gt;Qrtunity
to obtain funds for purchases
here, the Republicans argued
that a flow of cheap goods into
this country would threaten
American producers. And while
the President declared that increased imports would add to
employment in the processing
and distributing businesses here,
the Republicans predicted the
program would defeat the announced goal of 60,000,060 J&gt;QStwar jobs.
Passage of the President's proposals would allow as much as a 75 per
cent tariff reduction under the
Smoot-Hawley rates of 1930 on some
items, it was pointed out. Under
the original reciprocal trade act of
1934, reductions of 50 per cent were
permitted, and since these cuts already have been made on some
items, another 50 per cent decrease
would amount to 75 per cent in all.

United Nations' Parley
Holds Hope of World

Smaller Suppligs
Already warned of a 12 per cent
reduction in meat for the next three
months, civmans took the first big
hitch in their belts for the current
quarter with the announcement of an
increase in the point values of pork,
sausages and canned meat products.
While news of the tightening of
these and other controls over fats
and oils occupied the home front, it
was announced that all babies'
leather shoes would be rationed
after April.
In raising the point values on
pork, sausages and canned meat
products, OPA said that there would
be 5 per cent less meat available
during April, but the decrease in
supplies would h it civilians harder
in May and June. Coincident with
the new controls over the aforementioned meats, it was announced that
point values also would be boosted
on lard, along with shortening, margarine, and salad and cooking oils.

cent. I remember my mother said:
"Homer, I wish you didn't have to
go off to the city with a hole in
your telescope."
My mind races away to St. Joseph
where I saw my second street-car
and I think of something that happened, later, when I came to have
as a friend the man who invented
the electric streetcar, Frank J.
Sprague, and he told me this streetcar line was the second in the United
States.
We go into '"Renzo Davis' " room.
Two sacks of shelled corn are on
the floor. "We don't dare leave our
hybrid at the barn," says Spide.
"Mice."
"This room should be papered,"
says Nellie.
From room to room we go, and
from place to place, then outside.
The kitchen foundation is getting
weak in the knees; we'll have to
have the cement man out.
We go into the basement under
the parlor, and I think of the time
my fa t her got the acetyl ene gas
craze and ha d a machine installed
in th is cellar room. The machine
was supposed to dump pockets of
carbide into the water and make gas
for our lights. One night the machine didn't work and Pa told me to
take the lantern and go down and
see what was the matter. I came
into this room, opened the machine
and peered into its depth, aided by
the lantern. Suddenly there was an
explosion and I was knocked as flat
as a doily.
In the back yard, behind the
"new" house, is the house where I
was born. If there are any chickens
in it, I'll wring their necks. Thank
God! there aren't. In the floor is
the augurhole where I used to see
the water drain off and wonder
whe re it went; and under the clock
shelf is the very nail where our
Hostetter's Almanac hung. And a
little to the left is the wall where Pa
kept the International Harvester calendar, with circles around the dates
when the cows would freshen.

EVERY
tailored individually to the family it is expected to feed and to the
space available for gardening.
In planning the 1945 garden every
gardener will do well if he looks over
the experience of the past year or
two and tries to meet more nearly
the appetites and food preferences
of his own family. If any crop went
to waste because
t~ the family did not
care for the product, it is good gardening to omit it entirely in this year's
planting or to cut it
down to what the
family will use. Use
the space saved to
grow something
that is in demand.
First of all in planning the
garden, a plot of land suitable for
a town, or even a country garden, must be in the open where
it can get !l ircd snnlight at
least six hours a ct~ v with no
obstructing trees or bu P r nt:"S.
The plot must be we ll dr:oined. A
rich, deep sandy loam free fr r•m debris is the best all-purpose l.! &lt;ll'' c n
soil, but such an ideal is r •• tC' IV
found. Unless a soil is of such cl nracter that it can be spaded in t he
spring into a loose crumbly condition, it will be cl,ifficult to work, if
not definitely unsuited, to vegetable
growing. Land that is nearly level
is best because it is easier to work
and is less likely to be damaged
through washil}g by heavy rains.
Convenience of the garden location is more important than might

Then to the henhouse. The roof
leaks. I don't know why it is, but
henhouse roofs always leak. Put
that down, too.
We have supper and that evening
the neighbo;rs come in, the boys
and girls I've grown up with; and
with them their children. And, here
and there, a grandchild. It just
doesn't seem possible. But there
they are, staring popeyed as if I
was Rip Van·Winkle. We talk about
the weather and crops, just as we
used to; and how the schoolteacher
is panning out. Then about what
the government says we'll have to
do next. That's all new. And puzzling. But on the good side. Our
farmers like what the government is
doing.
They know about the tall buildings, for they've seen them in the
movies; but the subway is different.
When I tell them that the train I
go to Washington Heights on, runs
three miles under the ground without stopping, they glance at each
other again. Well, let him talk.
His father and mother tried hard
enough.
After my "lies" are over, the conversation again swings back to
neighborhood matters. Mysteriously Nellie and Opal get up and tiptoe
out and there is a clinking in the
kitchen. Refreshment time; pretty
soon we are eating ice cream and
homemade cake. Not ice cream
made on the back porch, in a saltwater freezer, but fetched out from
town. And not as good, either.
The children are getting restless.
It's half-past nine. Why, we haven't
been up that late since Grandpa died.
After a while they've gone and
the house seems lonely and emptyjust as it did when I was a boy.
A train whistles in the distance and
an exquisite agony lays hold of me.
And now, as I lie in my old room,
I think: Some day I'll be no more,
and when that day comes I'd like
to have my ashes sprinkled on the
farm.
The next day we go in to trade,
but now it takes only a few minutes
to clip off the six miles. What
wouldn't I have given if old Dave
had had six cylinders? It's a farming town, the guidebooks say, then
add: "Industry-none." They're a
little off, for there's the lightningrod factory. A dozen people employed there, counting, of course,
the office workers. You're nobody i1
you're not proud of your home town.
We have some "names" that we're
proud of-men who were born in
the county and who have distinguished themselves. There's George
Robb Ellison, judge of the Missouri
Supreme Court. Remember I mentioned a boy who went to Harvard
and came back with a feather-edge
haircut? Well, that was George. And
there's Merrill E. Otis, Federal
Judge, Kansas City. (He's the one
who sentenced Pendergast.) Dale
Carnegie, the writer and lecturer.
Ed H. Moore was born in our county
and lived there all his early days;
then went to Oklahoma and beat
Josh Lee and became United States
Senat-:&gt;r. (Should never have left Missouri.) Forrest C. Donnell became
Governor of Missouri. Yep, one ot
our boys. Have you heard of Dawson City, British Columbia, near
Alaska? Named for one of our boys.
(TO BE CONTINUED)

It is first important that definite
plans be laid out for the garden.

be supposed. It should be as close
to the home as a suitable place can
be found because the garden needs
some attention almost every day.
Even when it is too wet to plant or
cultivate, the gardener should see it
every day or two so as to follow all
developments and know in advance
what work needs to be, done. Timeliness is a surprisingly large element in a successful garden.
There is no one "right" way to
arrange or plan a home garden. The
gardener is urged to consider his
own needs, the climate of his locality and his own particular garden spot in planning and arrangmg
his garden. Conditions and details
of methods of growing plants differ
so widely over the country that it
is impossible to give a uniform plan
of growing vegetables that would fit
nll sections of the country.
A garden much longer than it is
wide is generally more convenient
to work. It matters little whether
the rows run north or south, east
or west, but on a sloping area it is
important that the rows run across
the slope, not up and down, so that
rainfall may be held on or in the soil,
instead of running down the sloping
rows, carrying away the soil.

Plan Garden
To Suit Needs
The most successful gardener
plans his garden well in advance. A
good sized sketch or map of the plot
should be drawn, preferably to
scale, so that the time and space
each crop will occupy can be set
down. Particular attention should
be made to replanting. For instance
after harvesting beans, turnips,
beets, carrots should be sown. The
idea is to keep the ground constantly
producing until frost.
Most gardeners are prone to plant
too much of early crops with the
result that some are wasted. A
succession of varieties or of plantings will give a much longer period
of harvest from the same total
amount planted.
Particular care should be taken
that tall growing crops like corn or
tomatoes will not shade the smaller
crops, such as beets or radishes.
Then perennial plants, such as asparagus, rhubarb and various savory herbs, should be kept together
at one side of the garden where
they can be conveniently handled
without interfering with the portion
to be plowed or spaded each year.
Where there is any great variation in the composition of the soil
in different parts 'of the garden, it
will be advisable to take this into
consideration.
If a part of the land is low and
moist, such crops as celery, onions,
and late cucumbers should be placed
there. If part of the soil is high,
warm and dry, there is the proper
location for early crops and those
that need quick, warm soil. Permanent crops, such as asparagus,
should be located where they would
not interfere with regular cultivation.

IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC.-We were up an hour and a
half before daylight, for our planes had to be in the air at tbe first
hint of dawn.
The first patrol was always launched by catapult, because
in the wind-swept semi-darkness, it was too dangerous for them
to make the run down the rollin~,_d_e_c_k_.____________
After seeing the flights launched
the first few days, it became old
stuff, and I would
I have stayed in

it, but that was
impossible. The

Homemade Breads Stimulate Appetites
(See Recipes Below)

Let's Bake Breads
If you want to fill your home with
delectable aroma, there's nothing
like freshly baked
breads with
which to do it.
Saturday baking
is something
which the present
generation knows
little or nothing
about, because it's so easy to buy
good bread.
Breads should be light and tender,
tender crusted and flavor-packed.
Hard to tlo? No, easy if you follow
instructions. Many are the cooks
who have baked perfect bread the
first time they've tried.
Kneading is important, but this is
not difficult. ·This is done by pushing the heel part of the palm down
intQ the dough and folding over, then
repeating the process over and over
again. Once you establish the routine, there's a kind of fascinating
rhythm to it. The dough should be
kneaded until satiny and smooth.
Don't try to hurry up the rising
process. It takes just so long, a_nd
good bread can't be hurried along.
The temperature should be fairly
warm, around 80 to 85 de~rees Fahrenheit for bread raising.
If you want to avoid the dark
5treaks in bread, add all the flour
at the time of mixing. If added later, flour gives a coarse texture and
makes unattractive streaks in the
bread.
Two processes are used in making bread. If the sponge method is
employed, the yeast is allowed to
work in a batter-like mixture before other ingredients are combined
with it. In the straight method, all
ingredients are combined at once.
If you are trying to save on sugar, here is a good recipe to follow
for maki11g bread:
•Enriched Bread.
(Makes 4 1-pound loaves)
2 cups milk
~~ cup light corn syrup or honey
4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 cups water
1 cake yeast
~i cup water (lulcewarm)
12 cups sifted enriched flour
Scald milk.
Add syrup, salt,
!ihortening or water. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast ~Jj
which has been
softened in lf4 cup
lukewarm water.
Add flour gradually, mixing it
thoroughly. When
-dough is stiff, place on lightly floured
board and knead until satiny and
smooth. Shape into smooth ball.
Place in greased bowl. Cover and
let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch down. Let rise
again. V{hen light, divide into 4
equal portions. Round up each portion into a smooth ball. Cover and
let rise 10 to 15 minutes. Mold into
loaves. Place into greased pans
and let rise until doubled in bulk.

Lynn Says:
Sweet Toppings: The foundation recipe for rolls may be
varied many times to give variety to rolls and coffee cakes.
Here are several good topping
suggestions:
Mix lh cup sugar, 2 tablespoons
grated orange peel and 2 tablespoons orange juice on top of coffee cake during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Or, cream together 2 tablespoons of butter with 4 tablespoons brown sugar, lf4 cup nutmeats, chopped, and lh cup coconut. Spread on coffee cake just
a few minutes before it finishes
baking and brown under broiler.
Mix 2 tablespoons butter with
';'4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour,
liz teaspoon each cinnamon and
nutmeg and lf4 cup chopped nutmeats. Sprinkle on top of quick
coffee cake batter.

The fighter pilots were given their
last briefing. In the "ready room"
the squadron commander and intelligence officer showed them on
maps and by drawings on the blackboard, just where they would strike.
The squadron commander asked
how many of the pilots had no wrist
watches. Six held up their hands.
The funny part was that the ship
had no extra wrist watches, so I
don't know why he asked the question in the first place.
Then he told what our approximate total of planes over Japan
would be, and how many it was
probable the Japs would put up
against us. And then he said:
"So you see, each one of us will
only have to take care of three Jap
planes!"
The pilots all laughed and looked
at each other sheepishly. (Days
later, when the final scores were in,
we found our force had destroyed
Japs at nine-to-one.)
And at the end of his briefing,
the squadron commander gave strict
orders for the pilots not to shoot at
Japs coming down in parachutes.
"They're supposed to do it to us,"
he said, "but it isn' t the thing for
us to do."

• • •

.

The bomber pilots and their en-'
listed gunners and radiomen were
briefed the same way. After the intelligence officer had finished, the
squadron commander said:
"We're going to dive low on the
target before releasing our bombs.
Since we're risking our necks anyhow, there's no point in going &amp;t
all unless we can do some damage,
so go down low."

• • •

All through the various strikes on

Japan, our task force kept enough
planes back to fly a constant blanket
of protection in the sky above us.
I remember the funny sign chalked
on the blackboard of the "ready
room" first day, urging our patrol
pilots to extra vigilance for Jap
planes that might sneak out from
the mainland to attack us. The
sign said:
"Keep alert-remember your poor
scared pals on the ship!"

• • •

Foe Surprised
By Strike

We didn't know whether our first
planes over the mainland would surprise the Japs or not. It didn't seem
possible, yet there were no indications that they knew.
For two days on our approach we
had been knocking off Jap reconnaissance planes and picket boats.
We hoped we had got these scattered planes and boats before they
had time to radio back home the
news of our presence. One of our destroyers had even sat all day on top
of a Jap sUbmarine to keep him
from corning to the top and sending
a warning.
But still we didn't know fol! sure,
so there was tenseness that first
morning. We knew almost exactly what time our first planes would
be over the Tokyo area.
We went to the radio room to listen. The usual Japanese programs
were on the air. We watched the
clock. Suddenly-at just the right
time-the Jap stations all went off
the air.
There was silence for a few minutes. And then the most Donald
Duck-like screaming and jabbering you eve r heard. The announcer
was so excited you had to laugh

hoping. And as the blackboard sign
said, of being poor scared pals.
Finally all but six of our planes
were back from their strike on Tokyo
and safely landed.
The six formed a separate flight,
and we couldn't believe that all of
them had been lost, and for that
reason our officers didn't feel too
concerned.
And then came a radio message
NDULGE in a riot of color in
from the flight leader. It said that

In the meantime, the ship's progress was slow. It took almost two
hpurs to get the,re. And one by
one the aerial escort began getting trouble, and one by one Fecke
ordered them home to our ship,
which was getting farther away all
the time.
Lt. Irl Sonner of Petaluma, Calif.,
lost the use of his radio, and had to
leave.
Lt. Max Barnes of Olympia,
Wash., got dangerously low on gas,
and Fecke sent him home. Gas
shortage also sent back Lt. Bob Murray of Muncie, Ind.
That left only Lieutenant Fecke
circling above the man in the boat,
and Lt. Arnold Berner of Springdale, Ark., flying lone aerial escort
for the rescue ship.
Finally the ship was past the bay
entrance. The skipper began to have
his doubts. He had to go within
three miles of the gun-dotted island.
He was within five minutes flying
distance of land, and J ap planes
could butcher him.
Furthermore he looked at his
chart, and saw that he was in "restricted waters," meaning they were
probably mined. It was certainly no
place for a ship to be.
The skipper radioed Fecke and
said he couldn't go any farther.
Fecke radioed back and said, "It's
only two miles more. Please try."
The skipper answered and said,
"Okay, we'll try."
And they pulled it off. They went
right into the lion's mouth, pulled
out our pilot, and got safely away.
Then, and then only, did Fecke and
Berner start home.
They came back to us three hours
after all the rest had returned.
They had flown six hours on a
three-hour mission. But they helped

But it's been worked out by years
of experience, and it's the best way.
Everything is straightened out in the

WNU Stalf Corre•pondenl.

Stripped of all technical verbiage, the proposals agreed upon by 44 United Nations at the
Bretton Woods conference and
which are considered an essential part of the world peace plan
to be approved at San Francisco
April 25, are designed toI.-Set up an international monetary fund with a working capital subf&gt;cribed by 44 nations in gold and
member currencies totaling 8.8 billion dollars of which the United
States is to subscribe 2.75 billions.
This fund is expected to stabilize
ancl safeguard the value of foreign
currencies in terms of gold, remove
trade barriers in favor of open or
reciprocal trade agreements to provide free and open trade among
member nations.
2.-0rganize an international bank
for reconstruction and development
with a subscribed capital of 9.1 billions of dollars of which the United
States is to furnish 3.175 billions.
Purpose of the bank is primarily to
facilitate flotation of foreign loans in
private capital markets by providing
International guarantees and to
matte long-term capital loans direct
to member nations for specific projects of reconstruction and development.
Why the need for these safeguards? Following World War I
American investors took a beating,
and in the late 1920s were caught in
an epidemic of defaults by foreign
debtors. Under the Bretton Woods
proposals, these foreign loans would
be investigated by the bank and then
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the foreign government
and the bank. Risks then, of internatiOnal loans, would not fall on investors themselves, nor even on
any one country, but upon all of
the 44 member countries. Obviously the objective of this guarantee of
lonns is to encourage a substantial
volume of private international invt•stment which is essential to our
own economic well being.
Great Need for Rebuilding.
France, Italy, Norway, Poland,
Finland, Czechoslovakia, a large
area of Russia, the Balkan nations,
large sections of England, China,
much of India and Burma, plus the
Axis Pations of Germany and Japan, have been laid waste by the
war, their productive facilities prostrate, their currencies depreciated,
and many years will be required for
them to rebuild their export industries. They will require foreign capital to get under way.
In our own country we have a tremendously enlarged productive in'lustrial plant. Our agricultural proJudion has reached a new high of
efficiency. After the war our economic policy will be aimed at full
employment and full utilization of
our agricultural and industrial facilities, To realize these aims new
outlets for the products of farm and
factory must be found and these
prostrate foreign countries provide
a ready market providing that
American exports take the form of
American investments abroad-good
American dollars-for· if these nations are to buy a large volume of
our productive machinery, our industrial and agricultural products in
the imme-diate postwar period,
American investors will have to lend
part of the purchase money. Under
the functions of the international
bank, these investors will have the
c:ssurance that these investments
are sound and remunerative.
Under the operation of tile monetary fund, as distinguished from the
bank, fer the protection of our inve~1ors, currencies in all these countries must be stabilized in terms of
gold and at equitable rates of exchange. The United States holds 60
per cent of the world's gold supply.
Economists point out there must be
elimination of exchange fluctuations,
of discriminatory exchange practices, of competitive currency depreciations, if the American dollar is
to be protected.
For instance, how can the American farmer be protected in the
world market if a sizable wheat producing country such as Russia and
Argentina can resort to monetary
action which places the wheat producers of those countries in a preferred position with respect to American wheat exporters? If the American farmer is to continue to export
wheat or any other commodity, and
to receive a fair price in good American dollars for the product he sells
at home, he must know that the

TIRED, ACHY

During a lull in the proceedings of the Bretton Woods conference,
U. s. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau (center) got into
informal conversation with the Hon. J. L. Ilsey, minister of finance for
Canada and chairman of that nation's delegation (left), and J.U. S. Stepanov, chairman of the Russian delegation. These chats helped to iron out
many o£ the smaller problems.
world price of wheat or other commodity in terms of our own dollars,
will not be seriously disturbed by
large fluctuations in the principal exporting and importing countries.
Stabilized Currencies.
So the purpose of the international
monetary fund is to stabilize and
promote a balanced growth of international trade by stabilizing the
value of all currencies in terms of
each other; progressively remove
barriers against making payments
across boundary lines, such as high
tariffs or other trade restrictions;
and to provide a supplementary
source of foreign exchange to which
a member country may apply for
the assistance necessary to enable
it to maintain stable and unrestricted exchange relationships with other member countries.
For instance, in some countries
importers are not permitted to purchase dollars required to buy goods
in the United States. In other countries, of which Germany was an example before the war, foreign trade
was disrupted by use of so-called
multiple currencies, or barter arrangements, and during the war
many new restrictions have been
devised because of military necessity.
The operation of the monetary fund
is intended to remove all these restrictions and set up a standard and
uniform practice, currency value
and exchange rates so that American business may have the greatest
possible freedom in international
trade in the postwar era. The same
freedom is intended to be provided
for business in the other countries,
for freedom of business would be
meaningless unless these other countries accorded an equal measure of
freedom to their own people.
There has been criticism aimed
at these proposals from some bankers on the grounds that they are
contrary to sound and established
banking practices. There has been
praise and approval from other
bankers.
As a matter of record, criticism
from bankers, at least some banking groups, has been directed at any
departure from established custom,
that is, custom and practice established by the bankers themselves.
For instance, some banking groups
criticized bank deposit insurance.
Criticism was aimed at government
guaranteed loans on homes and
farms; at 20-year loans on homes
when the custom had been 3 to 5
years; at 4 and 5 per cent interest
rates, when the practice had been
6 to 8 per cent and higher. These
practices today, however, are an accepted part of our domestic economy.
Criticism from the larger international bankers has been directed at
the Bretton Woods proposals, no
doubt because governments will control fiscal and monetary policies on
an international scale, and also because interest rates under these proposals will be lower.
U. S. Benefits Most.
\
Another criticism has been directed at the bank and the fund because
the United States is the largest subscriber. It is argued here, however,
that from any fair standard, this
country should be the largest subscriber because we have more to
gain than any other country. We
have the money to lend, we have
a large part of tn&lt;= world's gold and
we have the facilities no other nation has to provide export goods in
the immediate postwar period. Lastly, we have been untouched by the
ravages of war insofar as our material wealth is concerned.

One of the most important groups
to give approval to Bretton Woods
proposals is the Committee for Economic Development, headed by Paul
G. Hoffman, president of the Studebaker corporation. This group, made
up of bankers, economists and business leaders would even give the international bank further power to
make loans for long-term and short·
term stabilization purposes, claiming that under the present regulations, the bank does not have that
clear-cut power.
There have been some suggestions
favoring the establishment of the
bank, but suggesting that setting up
and operation of the monetary fund
be delayed until conditions abroad
settle down to normality. It is pointed out, however, that the bank and
the fund are closely related, both in
concept and organization and that
membership in the bank is open only
to those who are members of the
fund. It is also pointed out that the
bank is, to a considerable extent,
dependent upon the fund for the reason that the fund must first establish values of the moneys to be
loaned by the bank if there is to
be a smooth long-range planning and
investment program.
While most sound economists
agree there must be some system of
international control or agreement
after the war, the only alternative
offered has been a system of bloc
agreements. These a~e regarded by
many as dan~erous, swce such bloc
agreeme.n~s hkely . v:ould lead to a
worl~ d1v1ded pohhcally a~d economtcally.
Eventual conlhct between these groups would be likely.
Chance for Leadership.
Pointing to the leadership the
United States has maintained during
the war, fiscal experts here declare
that never before has this nation occupied such a key position or h3d
such an opportunity to take ovt&gt;r
world leadership in the economic
field. Governmental leaders, including Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, look upon the Bretton
Woods agreements as just as essential to world peace and security as
the Dumbarton Oaks agreements.
Secretary Morgenthau maintains
they are inseparable. Hence his urgent appeal to the congress for legislation which will insure this nation's
participation prior to the world parley at San Francisco April 25.
Acceptance by the congress of
these agreements before convening
of the delegates of United Nations
at San Francisco, these leaders say,
would be taken as a happy augury of
this nation's sincerity. It would give
notice to all that the United States,
instead of choosing economic isolation, which would inevitably lead to
political isolation, is already on record with a determination to do our
part toward the attainment of world
pence and security.
In a special message to the CO!Jgress February 20, President Roosevelt, referring to the Bretton Woods
proposals, said: "It is time for the
United States to take the l ead in
establishing the principle of economic cooperation as the foundation for
expanded world trade. We propose
to do this, not by setting up a
supergovernment, but by international negotiation and agreement. directed to the improvement of the
monetary institutions of the world
and the laws that govern trade . . .
the international fund and bank together represent one of the most
sound and useful proposals for .international collaboration now before
us."
And that is what the Bretton
Woods proposals are designed to do
. . . a product of the best minds of
the 44 United Nations of the world.
Dr. H. H. Kung, minister of finance for China and chairman of
the Chinese delegation, talks over international
finance
with
Lord
Keynes of England, famed economist and monetary authority, who
heads the British group of delegates.
Chinese currency has been devalued by inflation, a result of the
long war with Japan. British bankers are concerned about Chinese
financial stability, not only as part
of the world monetary situation,
but because of the extensive British
business interests in China.

made at the Amerklln Jnstihl e "'f
Laundering~ Ten different types '{)f
curtain panels were exposed to sunlight for nine months in glass-enclosed frames, anfi the corresponding parts of the same curtains
were packed away for making comparisons later. Here's the outcome.
Some of the exposed fabrics had
only one-sixth of the tensile strength
of their unexposed mates, with
others registering a third or a
fourth of their oriiinal strength.
Fabrics weakened to this point
are highly susceptible to damage.
and in laundering often fall apart
from the mere weight of the water.
The tests also revealed that in every
case the exposed curtain fabrics had
suffered an almost complete loss of
color. Because fabrics must las•
longer in the present textile shari

Give Rule for Keeping
Leftovers Nourishing

~UGG£STS

SPR\NGTIME DANGERS

THE CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB

ODOO

"Cold and covered" is the rule for
keeping most leftovers attractive
and nourishing. And another slogan
about storage might be, "Make it
snappy." Use leftover foods as soon
as possible-if they stand around a
long time, they won't taste good or
look good-and remember, air is a
robber of vitamins.
If leftovers are "congenial," store
them together. For example, potatoes, peas and carrots can all go
into the same little jar or covered
dish. Keep two jars for juice in the
refrigerator; one for fruit juices,
and one for the cooking liquid from
vegetables. Fruit juices can go into
a chilled fruit drink or into a gelatin salad. Vegetable liquors can
give flavor and vitamins to soups,
cream sauce or vegetable juice
drinks.
Potatoes are one of the most
adaptable leftovers. They keep well,
too, especially if you cook them in
the jackets. Leftover potatoes tit
nicely into soup, stew or salad. They
are good hash-browned, creamed,
or browned whole with a touch of
onion. Mashed potatoes don't keep
quite so well as boiled ones, so use
them within two or three days.
They make a fine lining or topping
fur a vegetable or m~:at pie, or, add
an egg and bit of milk for a baked
?Olato puff.

Shade Trees
Early spring is an excellent timeo
to feed shade trees, as well a~ fruit
trees. Keep your trees thrifty, for
the more vigorous the growth of a
tree, the less subject the tree will
be to disease and insect attack.
Make application of plant food about
the time buds are swelling. A series
of holes should be made in a zigzag
fashion under the drip of the
branches; the most satisfactory instrument to use is a~ earth auger,
obtainable in hardware and gardening departments. Make holes about
2 inches in diameter and 18 inche"
d&lt;'PP. The amount of plant food
needed is determined by allowing 3
pounds to each inch of diameter of
the trunk, measuring the trunk 4
feet above the ground. Fill the holes
with a mixture of half plant food
and half !!oil.
Then water thorough!y_

.:aim Tree

The Cat nauba palm tree belongs
to the Palmaceae family. In addition
to producing wax, the lower leaves
are used to cover roofs of houses,
and storerooms. They can also be
used for the manufacture of ropes,
sacks, mats, fire-fans and cheap
hats. The upper leaves are used for
baskets and better hats. The fibers
are excellent for cordage, nets, blankets, casting nets and for stuffing
cushions and mattresses. The heart
of the plant produces a nutritive
fecula with a starch content of 89.837
per cent. If allowed to ferment, it
produces a wine-like be\:erag.e ~nd
eyen Yinegar. A preparatiOn sm1tlar
to sarsaparilla can be extracted
from the roots, and it is used for
medicinal purnoses. It produces a
nutritive wi11e bn·erage and also
vinegar. The fruit has an astringent
pulp but animals like it, and it is
used in the fattening of hogs. A
very pleasant beverage~ can be obtained from the fruit and flour from
the residue.

Bread, that well known staff, does
more to support life now than ever
beforl:', because white bread and
flour are enriched, as a war measure, with iron and three complex
vitamins-thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Before 1941 it was found that
the diets of one-third to one-half o!
the American people were deficient
in these nutrients, needed for
healthy nerves and appetite and for
extending the prime of life and
delaying old age. As a result, enrichment came about as a war measure
and it will expire six months after
the war ends unless legislation is
enacted to continue it. Enriched
bread not only supplies iron and
the three B complex vitamins but,
since it is eaten in large amounts
by almost everybody, also provides
a fair amount of calcium, protein and food energy. Thus, except
for vitamins A, D and C, enriched
bread furnishes significant amounts
of all known nutrients for which allowances have been established. It
does this in 1 thrifty, tasty manner
and in a way we like, because
Americans demand their white
bread. Eat your enriched bread and
enjoy it, knowinc that, if you are a
moderately ae~ive adult and consume six slieea daily, it will give
you these proportions of your daily
diet requirements: 21 per cent of
protein, 14 per cent of c:1lcium, 9
per cent of ril•oflavin and 23 per
cent of thiamin.

Fixed Laws
Economic laws are laws of nature,
rigid. They are divine laws in the
same sense that the law of gravity
, is a law of God. Such laws were in
force long before the first man-made
statute was ever written, and no
natural law was ever repealed by
act of parliament. Natural laws can
be broken but they all carry within
themselves suitable penalties for
violation; hard to escape.
Under natural Jaw, every producer
earns a profit when he serves the
public well; takes a loss when he
serves the public poorly. When
manipulators, government P,lanners
or any other kind, use artificial price
controls, they violate natural law.
It makes no difference whether the
aim is greed or to protect "lame
ducks" from loss. Price controls encourage incompetence.
Wheat Price Parity
Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of
Agriculture, recently told an audience of wheat growers in St. Paul
that U. S. production last year was
1100 million bushels compared to
800 million in a typical prewar year.
This is deemed to forecast a postwar over-production of HiD million
bushels or more a year. There is a
law compelling government to hold
~~p wheat prices for two years after
the war.
Taxpayers may as well brace
themselves. It is time to start wondering what it's going to cost per
bushel to prop up the wheat price
and hold it at parity; or what bonus
per acre must be paid to non-growers of wh eat for not growing wheat.
Another wonder: Can the price support be removed after two years or
must the taxpayers continue guaranteeing a wheat price indefinitely?
Obset·ve Natural Law
There is an honorable way: Leave 1
each industry's problen1 for men of
that industry to solve. Using
wheat as an example, permit the l
Department of Agriculture to pre-,
pare such data as Mr. Wickard
gave the farmers and make the
figures available to the whole industry. Let the farmers use their
own judgment in the light of the
facts. They will do a better job than
government m en, and it will not
cost the taxpayers anything.
One advantage is obvious : Men
of an industry can consider an
industrial problem unblinded by a
dust storm of political considerations. Government's proper function is to serve the citizens. Government can get statistics more conveniently than an organization of
business men, and government experts undoubtedly can offer valuable
interpretations , but interference is
not help.
Men Can Think
Business men can understand
government figures, interpret them
and apply what they have learned.
Figures from the Department of
Commerce and the Census Bureau
have benefited many industries in
the past, interpreted by statisticians
in the employ of trade associations.
If wheat is over-produced one year,
bread will be cheap. The next year,
wheat men can plan more cautiously.
What did the cotton subsidy do
but open the gate for rayon to storm
the cotton planter's market? A fictitious wheat price can only bring
that industry some .similar calamity.
It is bad enough to h:ive loyal citizens taxed without mercy to build
a false price structure; worse when
you know that the result wilJ be to
lift a big essential industry off its
economic foundation and pennanently cripple it.

Discoloration of the inside of
met2l lids in home-canned fruits
usuallv is harmless, and if the fruit
is not otherwise spoiled, it may
IJe eaten with safety. Even tbough
the lid is covered with lacquer or
enamel, the coating is not always
perfect and a small amount of the
metal may be exposed; this may
rust if air is left in the jar. Certain
foods, especially peas and corn, contain considerable sulfur; some of
this may be broken down during
the processing to the gas hydrogen sulfide which reacts with the
metal of the lid to form sulfides
which are brown or black, the most
common cause of discolored areas in
lids. Lids may b~ stained a purplish
color by berries or dark cherries ,or they may have a scum of
dark mold on them. After a time
the mold may grow into the food in
which case it should be discarded
as the mold may make possible
spoilage by Bacillus botulinus. Acid
foods such as fruits, tomatoes or
pickles may dissolve considerable
zinc by working behind the porcelain in the old type of lids. Zinc
poisoning is not apt to resul_t in
death, but it can cause severe digestive disturbances.

German dald litter road as British Tommies drive toward Berlin in
rout of enemy forces on 21st army front.

EUROPE:

DEMOBILIZATION:

Last Great Arsenal

Small Scale

The last great source of Germany's supply of war materiel had
been sealed off as tanks of Lieutenant General Hodges' U. S. 1st
army swept before them all resistance ln their spectacular dash towards Berlin. The British 2nd army,
pounding across the north German
plain, had steadily drawn closer and.
closer to the 1st army. Ruhr valley
war production centers had been effectively sealed off.
Typical of the magnitude of the
American forces was the one-day
bag of 14,000 Nazi prisoners taken
by General Patton's 3rd army in its
sensational drive eastward.
City after city had fallen into Allied hands under Eisenhower's steam
roller. Among the rich prizes were
Frankfurt - on - the - Main (546,000), ranking ninth in the German
Rei&amp;, Mannheim (283,000) which
fell to Lieutenant General Patch's
7th army, and Essen which led all
Europe in the production of munitions.
Clearly the final doom of Nazi power was sounding. Prime Minister
Churchill of Great Britain declared
he believed the "hour of success"
was at hand. Still some military
authorities pointed out that a final
Nazi stand might be made in mountainous southern Germany buttressed by defenses in northern Italy
and the industrial resources of
Czechoslovakia.
Spring rains and fog had kept the
Italian front quiet, but observers
had expected Gen. Mark Clark's
armies to begin massive smashes
northward.

Though some combat troops in
the European theater of war will be
demobilized after Germany's fall, all
service, air force and naval personnel will be retained to continue the
fight against the Japanese, officials
indicated.
Demobilization of some combat
troops will result from inability to
make full use of them in the Pacific
for geographic reasons, it was said,
but the exact extent of release will
depend upon conditions in Europe.
All members of the service branches
will be needed for the construction
of staging areas and bases in the
Pacific, and the air force intends to
bring its full weight to bear against
the Japanese.
Because all approaches to the Pacific theater of war are over water,
and because ships will have to bear
the bulk of supplies, all naval personnel will be required to bring
about the Japanese's fall as quickly
as possible, Fleet Admiral King declared.

Relentless Red.'f
In the East, Russian armies had
kept up their relentless pressure on
Berlin and elsewhere with armored divisions sweeping over the
Austrian border from western Hungary and closing ever closer on
Vienna.
Marshall Rokossovsky's 2nd White
Russian army battered deeper into
Danzig.
Once unconditional surrender was
achieved, civil affairs in Germany
would be under direction of Maj.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, who had had
charge of materiel procurement for
the army service forces when War
Mopilization Director Byrnes borrowed him last December as his deputy in charge of the war program.
The appointment, the White House
said, was made by Gen. George
Marshall, army chief of staff. Clay
was appointed deputy to General
Eisenhower.

PACIFIC:
Worst to Come
Already feeling the sting of heavy
U. S. aerial bombardment, Japanese

found no comfort in Gen. H. H.
("Hap") Arnold's announcement
that America would bring the full
weight of its tremendous air power
to bear upon the Nipponese once the
war in Europe ended.
As Arnold spoke, the strategic
Ryukyu islands stretching between
the Jap homeland and Formosa became the latest target for American
assaults, with carrier planes teaming with warships in blasting the 500mile-Jong chain preparatory to
ground attack.
In declaring that the U. S. planned
to use every plane against the Japanese after Germany's fall to hasten their defeat, General Arnold
said that not only would American air power smash the enemy's
industry, but it would also shatter his communication lines to bring
about his collapse.

MANPOWER:
Buck Controls
Though the Pre~ident made a
strong appeal for passage of the
compromise manpower control bill,
under which plants would be limited
in the number of persons they could
employ and workers and farmers
alike would be frozen to present
jobs, the measure encountered rough
going in the senate.
Despite the fact that the legislation fell short of military leaders'
demands for a labor draft, the President said, its terms assured continued high production for the knockout
blow against Germany, and provided for keeping workers on the job
after the Nazis' fall.
Senators pointed up the great wartime production record of the U. S.
in opposing legislation tightening
control over both employers and employees, and O'Mahoney (Wyo.) hit
arguments that passage of the bill
would convince G.I.s that the home
front was behind them. Rather, he
said, defeat of the measure would
assure them of retention at home of
the freedoms for which they are
fighting.

TARIFF:
Fight Renewed
Calling for authority to slash tariffs 50 per cent under J anuary, 1945,
levels in an extension of the reciprocal trade agreements act for three
years, President Roosevelt touched
off a renewal of the historic tariff
fight in congress.
While the President said that
further tariff cuts would offer
other countries the opJ&gt;Qrtunity
to obtain funds for purchases
here, the Republicans argued
that a flow of cheap goods into
this country would threaten
American producers. And while
the President declared that increased imports would add to
employment in the processing
and distributing businesses here,
the Republicans predicted the
program would defeat the announced goal of 60,000,060 J&gt;QStwar jobs.
Passage of the President's proposals would allow as much as a 75 per
cent tariff reduction under the
Smoot-Hawley rates of 1930 on some
items, it was pointed out. Under
the original reciprocal trade act of
1934, reductions of 50 per cent were
permitted, and since these cuts already have been made on some
items, another 50 per cent decrease
would amount to 75 per cent in all.

United Nations' Parley
Holds Hope of World

Smaller Suppligs
Already warned of a 12 per cent
reduction in meat for the next three
months, civmans took the first big
hitch in their belts for the current
quarter with the announcement of an
increase in the point values of pork,
sausages and canned meat products.
While news of the tightening of
these and other controls over fats
and oils occupied the home front, it
was announced that all babies'
leather shoes would be rationed
after April.
In raising the point values on
pork, sausages and canned meat
products, OPA said that there would
be 5 per cent less meat available
during April, but the decrease in
supplies would h it civilians harder
in May and June. Coincident with
the new controls over the aforementioned meats, it was announced that
point values also would be boosted
on lard, along with shortening, margarine, and salad and cooking oils.

"Homer, I wish you didn't have to
go off to the city with a hole in
your telescope."
My mind races away to St. Joseph
where I saw my second street-car
and I think of something that happened, later, when I came to have
as a friend the man who invented
the electric streetcar, Frank J.
Sprague, and he told me this streetcar line was the second in the United
States.
We go into '"Renzo Davis' " room.

see what was the matter. I came
into this room, opened the machine
and peered into its depth, aided by
the lantern. Suddenly there was an
explosion and I was knocked as flat

tailored individually to the family it is expected to feed and to the
space available for gardening.
In planning the 1945 garden every
gardener will do well if he looks over
the experience of the past year or
two and tries to meet more nearly
the appetites and food preferences
of his own family. If any crop went
to waste because
t~ the family did not
care for the product, it is good gardening to omit it entirely in this year's
planting or to cut it
down to what the
family will use. Use
the space saved to
grow something
that is in demand.
First of all in planning the
garden, a plot of land suitable for
a town, or even a country garden, must be in the open where
it can get !l ircd snnlight at
least six hours a ct~ v with no
obstructing trees or bu P r nt:"S.
The plot must be we ll dr:oined. A
rich, deep sandy loam free fr r•m debris is the best all-purpose l.! &lt;ll'' c n

found. Unless a soil is of such cl nracter that it can be spaded in t he
spring into a loose crumbly condition, it will be cl,ifficult to work, if
not definitely unsuited, to vegetable
growing. Land that is nearly level
is best because it is easier to work
and is less likely to be damaged
through washil}g by heavy rains.
Convenience of the garden location is more important than might

Then to the henhouse. The roof
leaks. I don't know why it is, but
henhouse roofs always leak. Put
that down, too.
We have supper and that evening
the neighbo;rs come in, the boys
and girls I've grown up with; and
with them their children. And, here
and there, a grandchild. It just
doesn't seem possible. But there
they are, staring popeyed as if I
was Rip Van·Winkle. We talk about
the weather and crops, just as we
used to; and how the schoolteacher
is panning out. Then about what
the government says we'll have to
do next. That's all new. And puzzling. But on the good side. Our
farmers like what the government is
doing.
They know about the tall buildings, for they've seen them in the
movies; but the subway is different.
When I tell them that the train I
go to Washington Heights on, runs
three miles under the ground without stopping, they glance at each
other again. Well, let him talk.
His father and mother tried hard
enough.
After my "lies" are over, the conversation again swings back to
neighborhood matters. Mysteriously Nellie and Opal get up and tiptoe
out and there is a clinking in the
kitchen. Refreshment time; pretty
soon we are eating ice cream and
homemade cake. Not ice cream
made on the back porch, in a saltwater freezer, but fetched out from
town. And not as good, either.
The children are getting restless.
It's half-past nine. Why, we haven't
been up that late since Grandpa died.
After a while they've gone and
the house seems lonely and emptyjust as it did when I was a boy.
A train whistles in the distance and
an exquisite agony lays hold of me.
And now, as I lie in my old room,
I think: Some day I'll be no more,
and when that day comes I'd like
to have my ashes sprinkled on the
farm.
The next day we go in to trade,
but now it takes only a few minutes
to clip off the six miles. What
wouldn't I have given if old Dave
had had six cylinders? It's a farming town, the guidebooks say, then
add: "Industry-none." They're a
little off, for there's the lightningrod factory. A dozen people employed there, counting, of course,
the office workers. You're nobody i1
you're not proud of your home town.
We have some "names" that we're
proud of-men who were born in
the county and who have distinguished themselves. There's George
Robb Ellison, judge of the Missouri
Supreme Court. Remember I mentioned a boy who went to Harvard
and came back with a feather-edge
haircut? Well, that was George. And
there's Merrill E. Otis, Federal
Judge, Kansas City. (He's the one
who sentenced Pendergast.) Dale
Carnegie, the writer and lecturer.
Ed H. Moore was born in our county
and lived there all his early days;
then went to Oklahoma and beat
Josh Lee and became United States
Senat-:&gt;r. (Should never have left Missouri.) Forrest C. Donnell became
Governor of Missouri. Yep, one ot
our boys. Have you heard of Dawson City, British Columbia, near
Alaska? Named for one of our boys.
(TO BE CONTINUED)

It is first important that definite
plans be laid out for the garden.

be supposed. It should be as close
to the home as a suitable place can
be found because the garden needs
some attention almost every day.
Even when it is too wet to plant or
cultivate, the gardener should see it
every day or two so as to follow all
developments and know in advance
what work needs to be, done. Timeliness is a surprisingly large element in a successful garden.
There is no one "right" way to
arrange or plan a home garden. The
gardener is urged to consider his
own needs, the climate of his locality and his own particular garden spot in planning and arrangmg
his garden. Conditions and details
of methods of growing plants differ
so widely over the country that it
is impossible to give a uniform plan
of growing vegetables that would fit
nll sections of the country.
A garden much longer than it is
wide is generally more convenient
to work. It matters little whether
the rows run north or south, east
or west, but on a sloping area it is
important that the rows run across
the slope, not up and down, so that
rainfall may be held on or in the soil,
instead of running down the sloping
rows, carrying away the soil.

Plan Garden
To Suit Needs
The most successful gardener
plans his garden well in advance. A
good sized sketch or map of the plot
should be drawn, preferably to
scale, so that the time and space
each crop will occupy can be set
down. Particular attention should
be made to replanting. For instance
after harvesting beans, turnips,
beets, carrots should be sown. The
idea is to keep the ground constantly
producing until frost.
Most gardeners are prone to plant
too much of early crops with the
result that some are wasted. A
succession of varieties or of plantings will give a much longer period
of harvest from the same total
amount planted.
Particular care should be taken
that tall growing crops like corn or
tomatoes will not shade the smaller
crops, such as beets or radishes.
Then perennial plants, such as asparagus, rhubarb and various savory herbs, should be kept together
at one side of the garden where
they can be conveniently handled
without interfering with the portion
to be plowed or spaded each year.
Where there is any great variation in the composition of the soil
in different parts 'of the garden, it
will be advisable to take this into
consideration.
If a part of the land is low and
moist, such crops as celery, onions,
and late cucumbers should be placed
there. If part of the soil is high,
warm and dry, there is the proper
location for early crops and those
that need quick, warm soil. Permanent crops, such as asparagus,
should be located where they would
not interfere with regular cultivation.

�THE RECORD, CRETE. ILL.

Entire Nation Mourns Death
Of Franklin D. Roosevelt;
Vast Tasks Face Truman

•

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
JANUARY 30, 1882-APRU.. 12, 1945.

THE guns of America's fighting forces sounded ever closer
AS the
doom of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he had
been resting for 10 days.
Death resulted from a cerebral hemorthage at 4: 35 p. m. on
April 12. Mr. Roosevelt was 63. He had been President for 12
years, one month and nine days. The White House was announced
as the site of the funeral, with interment at the family estate at
Hyde Park, N. Y.
Less than four months had elapsed since he had taken his historic oath of office for a fourth term. Only a few weeks before he
had returned from the Yalta conference where in company with
Marshal Stalin of Russia and Prime Minister Churchill of Great
Britain he had labored to built an enduring peace.
Fate denied Franklin Roosevelt the chance to enjoy the fruits
of victory over the Axis. Yet history seemed destined to enshrine
him as one of the immortal American Presidents. And every citiZPn who mourned the untimely passing of the Commander-ipChicf felt that he was a casualty of the war just as every G.f.,
Marine and Sailor who had fallen in battle.
Never before had an American
President died in wartime. Abraham Lincoln fell under Assassin
Booth's bullet just five days after
the surrender of General Lee's army
at Appomattox in 1865. Woodrow
Wilson lived to see victory over
Germany in World War I, but he
fought a losing battle for the
League of Nations and died early
in 1!:'24, a defeated leader. Many
historians believe Lincoln's greatne~s might have peen dimmed in
the conflicts over reconstruction
that followed the War Between the
Stales. just as 'Nilson's prestige
was lo!'::t in the conflict over t.he
!rae,ae that followed World War I.
Thus Franklin Roosevelt, dying at
the height of his career just as victory was to be achieved over Germany, seemed likely to live in hislory as a great man.
As the American people from
Ma in Street to Rivers;de Drive
mourned the death of Franklin
Roosevelt, their prayers went up
for his successor, Harry S. Truman.
For on the shoulders of this slight,
gray, 60-year-old Missourian had
been laid a responsibility such as
no American President had ever
borne.
What the consequences of the
President's death would be to
the United States and the
world, time alone would tell.
But as Americans recovered
from their first shock at the
news, they quicldy determined
two things. The war must be
prosecuted to as speedy and
victorious a finish as possible.
Lasting peace must be estab• lisbed.

economic prosperity once Nazi Germany and Japan are finally defeated.

man who bas not dramatized
himself personally, President
Truman nevertheless has demonstrated on many occasions
that he can be a leader of force
and determination. His work as
chairman of the Truman committee in the U. S. senate investigating the conduct of the
war is cited as an example of
this. And his conduct of the
Vice Presidency has shown that
he can work successfully with

President's Life
Was Characterized
By Vigorous Action
' Unlike the "log-cabin" presidents,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not
born into poverty. When Franklin
arrived at Hyde Park, N. Y., on
January 30, 1882, he came into a
family that haa possessed wealth
for many generations. The Roosevelts had been thrifty ~and-owners
in the Hudson valley since the first
of the family came over from Holland. On his mother's side also
there was a substantial fortune.
Among his ancestors were many
men who had served the state in
various capacities.
Young Franklin attended the very
fashionable Groton school, where
he prepared for Harvard university.
After completing the liberal arts
course he entered Columbia U. law
school, from which he was graduated in 1907. Two years earlier.
however, he married his distant
cousin, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.
Eleanor was a n iece of Theodore
Roosevelt, at that time in the Whte
House.
After two years of legal practice, Franklin entered polWcs,
running on the Democratic
ticket for the New York ~tate
senate. He unexpectedly defeat·
ed a strong Republican candidate. From the beginning of his
career he identified himself with
reform movements, opposing
the poverful Tammany organi·
zation in the statehouse. He was
re-elected in 1912, by which
time he had become a leader of
the anti-Tammany faction.
Woodrow Wilson appointed Roosevelt assistant secretary of the
navy. When World War I broke out
Roosevelt proved himself an efficient administrator, handling billions of dollars' worth of contracts
for ships and supplies. He served in
this post throughout the war.
Ran for Vice President.
In 1920 the Democratic national
convention chose him as running
mate for James Cox. While campaigning for the vice presidency
Roosevelt made many acquamtances valuable in later political
life. Cox being defeated, F.D.R.
returned to legal practice.
The following year the great
tragedy of his life struck himinfantile paralysis. The big,
strong young man became a
bedridden invalid. For months
he lay without ambition, almost
without hope. Slowly his powerful will took command, however, and by persistence be
partially regained the use of
his muscles. It was during his
convalescence at Warm Springs,
Ga., that 1 he detern'lined to· do
what be could to eradicate the
scourge that had almost ruined
him. The ''March of Dimes"
campaign was the result.
At the Democratic conventions of
1924 and 1928, he aligned himself
with the group supporting Alfred
E. Smith, New York's governor.
When Smith was nom·nated in 1923,
Roosevelt ran for governor of his
state and was elected. At the end
of his two-year term he was again
elected, this time by the greate~t
majority ever given to a New York
governor.
As governor he continued the reform and improvement policies of
his predecessor Smith. His achievements attracted nationwide attention. As the depression that began
late in 1929 deepened, his ef!orts
to control the mounting busine~s
failures, unemployment and rlistress in his state revealed his abilities as a vigorous leader in grave
times.
Swept in as President.
When the national convention
met in Chicago in 1932 Roosevelt
:vas quickly chosen. He was swept
mto office by a plurality of seven
million votes, carrying 42 states.
Both houses went Democratic.
Before he could take office

a wave of bank failures threatened the whole economic structure. The famous "bank moratorium" order, one of Roosevelt's first official acts, closed
all banks until they could be reorganized on a sounder basis,
thus preventing disastrous runs.
In the spring of 1!.132 came the
repeal of the 18th, or prohibition amendment. Then came
the National Industrial Recovery Act, or "NRA," under
which extensive emergency pow·
ers were granted to the President. A series of public works
were authorized to combat unemployment, together with
huge appropriations for direct
relief.
. Th_e numerous executive and leg.
1slative acts of this first term were
~pproved in general as necessary
m the face of widespread suffer·
ing. A phrase from one of the
President's speeches, "a new deal."
developed into a title for the whole
Roosevelt program.
In 1936 the convention in Philadelphia nominated Roosevelt
by acclamation on the first ballot. He carried 46 states in the
elections. This second term majority was so overwhelming that
many New Dealers began to
call it a "mandate from the
people." Dm·ing this second
term a great number of measures were passed to increase
the economic security of the inllividual, particulat:IY the workers, hrmers and small businessmen.

storage that will irrigate a hundred
million acres and make it possible
to double the present production of
rice.
I will not deluge you with further
figures for I cannot produce them
with such a flavor of enthusiasm
and admixture of persona 1 delight
as Dr. Savage does, but I may add
that he spent four months in India
discovering and planning similar
projects in the Punjab, along the
Ganges, and in Afghanistan, on this
and other trips. Dr. Savage, I might
observe, is typical of a kind of government servant of which the world
knows very little. He is one of the
highly trained experts who prefer
public service to financial rewards.
These men turn down highly remunerative offers from business organizations.

Australia Ashs for
Dr. Savage's Help
Back in 1940 a cable came from
London asking the United States
government for Savage's assistance
in conjunction with the Burrinjuck
dam in Australia. Before the department of the interior replied, Dr. Savage was reminded of what he already knew; namely, that United
States officials may not receive
emoluments of any kind from foreign governments. Our founding fathers were quite sensitive on that
point.
". . . no person," says the Constitution, "holding any office of profit or trust under (the United States)
shall, without the consent of Congress, accept any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind
whatever, from any king, prince or
foreign state."
And so Savage, rather than delay
the pr·oject while congress decided
whether such emolument be permitted, wired the then commissioner of
the bureau of reclamation: "Any assistance given to New South Wales
will be gratis and I shall not accept
any fee or other form of compensation or any reimbursement."
As a government servant, Dr.
Savage, although he cannot accept
titles and awards from princes,
kings or foreign commoners, has
garnered plenty of honors from
American institutions. They include
his doctorate in science from the
University of Wisconsin and the
American Society of Civil Engineers'
medal. Also he has that most coveted award, the Gold medal for outs~anding engineering service, a joint
· award of the leading organizations of
his profession.
If culture can be served by damming rivers. and c2pital can be
found to pay the bill, they'll be
dammed-by Savage.

The war will wine out a lot of ignorant sneers w!Jich so-called "practical" men often direct at "longhaired professors." Perhaps the science of psychology gets the most
wallops from the uninitiated. Says
General Arnold in his second report
on the army air force: "The RAF
paid the AAF a compliment in 1944
by adopting our system of air crew
selechon and classification. Our psychological testing procedures were
also adopted by the Free French."
There are 20 psychological tests
administered which have proved valid in predicting a cadet's chance to
win his wings and his chance for
combat success.
"The aviation psychology program
has paid off in time, lives and ....
money saved,." says General Arnold,
"at a total cost of less than $5 per
candidate."

Studies Map, Selects
Five Sites for Dam&amp;
The map proved to be excellent
and one could almost see the engin('er's mouth water as he examined
it, picking out sights simply crying
to be oommed. Then, still as if it
were all a great lark, he said trat
he went on down the river to within
three miles of the battle lines (perhaps the genial general-host had
called off the war for the afternoon).
Anyhow, Dr. Savage said, smiling,
that he had selected five possible
dam sites.
The dam in the Yangtze gorge,
he told us, will probably be about
750 feet high and there will be 20
tunnels of about 50 feet diameter to
divert the river flow. Boulder dam
on the Colorado, he told us for comparison, was 730 feet high and had

Recently I sat with a group of my
colleagues at a table and listened to
a shy, elderly man, who might have
been a professor of Greek, talk about
dams. Just a moment before I had
been in the newsroom reading of the
terrible destruction which had levelled the cities of Europe. I couldn't
help thinking of the paradox of civilization as this quiet man, who is
the designing engineer for the greatest dams in the world, Grande Coulee, Boulder, Shasta, the Norris dam
in the Tennessee valley and scores
of others all over the world, outlined
construction projects for Asia. His
program is the exact antithesis of
what is going on m Europe.
John Lucian Savage is chief designing engineer of the bureau of
reclamation of the department of the
interior. He has just returned from
14 months in the Far East where he
has conferred with Generalissimo
C' ·'lng Kai-shek of China and with
o cials in India and Palestine on
construction projects which dwarf
the world's greatest efforts in this
direction.
Dr. Savage discussed these undertakings as if they were some beautiful little wo ks of art which had, perhaps, a utilJcarian value, but wh1ch
after all were creations of the imagination, important in themselves. In
the course of a half hour or so he
outlined projects which would affect the life of literally millions of
people for untold generations and
might well change the course, not
only of their history, but the world's.
He went to the Far East representing the U. S. government, loaned
by the department of the interior to
the state department as a specialist
under its cultural program. Much
has been said (with eyebrows slightly raised) about Uncle Sam's effort
to spread American culture and help
import some of that product from
other nations. Most people do not
realize that cultural matters include 10,500,000-kilowatt-waterpower
plants.
T "We went lllown the lYangtze) river from Chungking," said Dr. SavagE' as if he were describing a moonlight ride on the Potomac, "by
steamboat and launch to within 15
kilometers '.about nine miles) of
!chang." (Later it was explained
that he had to stop because it happened that a war was going on in
that vicinity.) "I had with me all
the 1opographical data I could find
and I had spotted three possible dam
sites from these maps. I stayed
with General - - (name omitted for
security reasons). I asked him if
he had any topograr-hic maps that
might be helpful to me. He replied
that he had captured an aerial map
from the Japanese."

CHAPTER XXV
On one of these trips, I was told
that Newt Kennedy was sick and
wanted to see me. His hands were
on the outside of the covers-those
great hands that had tamed so many
wild mules. But now the joints were
knobby and the flesh wasted away
between them; and his eyes that
had twinkled so many times, were
sunken and hollow.
I sat down beside him, deeply affected. After a while the paid wom.an who was waiting on him left the
room, and he and I were alone together. The years slipped away;
we were back on adjoining farms. I
spoke of the captured weasel, but
he had forgotten it.
But he hadn't forgotten breaking
the mules. He laughed-then had to
·cough-this giant, this strongest man
in the neighborhood, this man who
got so much fun out of living, this
boyhood hero.
His voice grew weak, for I stayed
too long, living over the old days.
Finally the paid woman came in.
But Newt still had a message. "We
had lots of fun, didn't we?" he wlliSpered, for his voice was about gone.
"We did," I said.
It was the last time I ever saw
him. But I will remember him all
my life-Newt Kennedy, the man
who taught me to have fun.
Sometimes I ask myself, "What
are the best ideas I've got out of
life?" Sometimes I am saddened by
how few they are . . . But, as I
look back, I realize that certain ideas
have helped me. I am a bit shocked
by how few are religious. At least,
religious in the accepted sense.
I think the first helpful idea I had
was how deeply absorbed each person is in himself and how important
each person is to himself. I realize
this is almost self-evident, but r did
not discover it for a long time. And
when I did &lt;tiiscover it, it opened up
a new world of understanding. It
made me expect less of people and it
taught me not to be disappointed
when they seemed indifferent or neglectful; even cruel. It has helped
me in making and keNJing friends,
for when friends have wounded me,
I have realized it was because they
were thinking of themselves and not
of me, and I have forgiven them and
made allowances.
I've learned that the way to understand others is to study myself.
For I have found that I'm a little of
every person I've ever known. When
I am prone to condemn another, I
try to stop and say, "Well, if I had
been surrounded by the same influences and hedged about by the same
conditions, I would have probably
done as he did." I suppose it gets
down to the ability to "make allowances." And that is what I try to
do. But sometimes I find myself flying into a person, or into a situation, as if I hadn't learned anything
at all. It's pretty discouraging.
I've learned how many people suffer from an inferiority complex and
I've learned to deal gently with
them. This is especially true on a
first meeting. When people are cold,
or indifferent, or aloof, or downright inimical, I say to myself, "It's
the old inferiority complex at its
work. I must make allowances. He
may be a pretty good person after
all." It's surprising how many are!
I've learned that most people,
away down inside, often feel dismally alone and inadequate and are
haunted by frustration and the conviction that the world is too much
ior them. And, realizing this from
reading my own secret heart, I try
to be a little more gentle and a little more considerate.
I've learned that when two persons meet they at once begin the
-process of trying to impress each
other. Each tries to show how important he himself is. This comes
out in a thousand ways: by sly indicatio!ls of how much money he
has, or how much he has traveled,
or how important his friends are.
I watch this in others, with a sort of
knowing smile to myself. Yet, pretty soon, I catch myself busy at the
old game of trying to impress the
other person.
My passing years have tau~ht me
the folly of trying to change people.
People, it seems to me, are born
with certain traits and predilections
and you can no more change these
traits than you can change the length
of their fingers. It seems to me
that you must either accept a person for what he is, or pass him up
entirely. There is no middle ground.
I've learned to be tolerant of other
people's ideas and beliefs and ways
of life. Sometimes, later, to my
a stonishment, I've found myself accepting the very beliefs I once
thought were crackpot. Then I wonder why other people haven't got
gumption enougr. to take them up.
I ve learned. vhen I'm discour- •

aged and at the bottom of the trough,
not to make decisions at night, when
fatigue and weariness are heavy
upon me. I say to myself, then,
"Well, things are pretty black. But
I'll get a good night's sleep and see
how they are in the morning." Thus,
in the morning and with my vitality
at its full, I'm able to cope with situations that, the night before, had all
but done for me.
I do not know exactly when, or
how, I got the following idea, but I
do know it has helped me in understanding people and' in getting along
with them: And that is every person wants to be considered important. Sometimes I think this one of
the deepest cravings planted in a human being. Once I got this idea, I
could see it working itself out in a
thousand ways. I learned to let the
other person exert his desire to be
considered important and to suppress my own. I made the other
person the star of the show and
talked about him and his desires
and his views, and said little about
my own. The effect was almost miraculous, for no one in the world
can resist the appeal of being the
center of attention. It comes to me
easily to make the other person the
hero, for his adventures and his
views interest me tremendously; my
own are an old story.
I have learned to be considerate of
people, for life has taught me that
most people, most of the time, are
discouraged and carry on their
shoulders a whole bag of troubles I
can't see. Along with this I have
discovered how deeply people want
praise. And how much good it does
them. And so I have learned to
give praise more readily than I did
during my younger years. When I
saw somebody, then, who deserved
praise, I took it as a matter of
course and said nothing; now I am
more generous with my approval.
But it must be honest approval, or
otherwise I would not be deceitful
enough to give it. Nor would it be
worth receiving. Sometimes it goes
straij!ht to my heart to see what
wonders a bit of praise will accomplish.
Another lesson r learned is that one
must not be too sensitive a soul.
In my early days I was constantly
receiving rebuffs and arrow prickssome imagined, some deliberate.
But as the years went by, I discovered that to live successfully, I
must learn not to be so easily
wounded. I did learn it, and now
arrows glance off that used to draw
blood.
Another is the matter of fear. In
my younger days I suffered greatly
from fear. Mostly it was fear of
the unknown. I could cope with the
troubles that were upon me, but was
apprehensive about those that might
come. One day I came upon a quotation at the bottom of a newspaper
column, a "filler." It was from Emerson: "Do the thing you fear to
do and the death of fear is certain." r must have seen the quotation before, but if I had it had made
no impression on me, Or my mind
wasn't ripe for it. Now, in a kind of
blinding flash, I realized the truth of
those few words. And I began to try
to put it into practice. I have not
eliminated all fear, but that one simple idea has been of great help.
Sometimes I forget all about it . . .
usually when things are going well.
When I find myself in trouble and
harassed by fear and misgivings, I
remember my Emerson quotation
and am usually able to decide on a
course of action instead of worrying
about what is going to happen. I
think I can say that Emerson's quotation has helped me more than any
other precept in all my life.

HOLLYWOOD

I have come to look upon com·
plete happiness as unattainable.
Happiness, as I understand it, is a
sense of present well-~ing, on which
is hung, like a Christmas wreath the
belief that some fine bit of good' for·
tune lies just ahead.
I have come to have less and les!
respect for the power in people tha1
makes money. It seems to me this
is wholly a selfish trait, and the leas1
admirable of all the major drives in
human beings. I realize this take~
in a great deal of territory, for 1
know that a certain amount of mon·
ey is necessary, but it seems to me
that a life dedicated to money-mak·
ing is about as empty a shell as one
could crawl into.
I have learned to live today and
not wait till tomorrow. During my
early life, I kept thinking to myself,
"Well, I'm not getting much out of
today, but soon I'll be in another
city, or have more money, or will
be selling more manuscripts, or will
have a new group of friends, then
I'll really get some fun out of life."
Written June 11th, 1943.
Sometimes we have to look back
on a day to know it has been one of
satisfaction.
But sometimes we
know the day is a satisfying one at
the very time it is racing by. And
today is one of them, for today the
third generation of Croys set foot on
this land. Carol had arrived from
the University of Arizona, at Tucson,
where she had been in school, and
then-on this day-my dream came
true. We walked acroc:s the farm
together-just she and l-and I
showed her the scenes I knew so
well. We came to a great ~ully.
"This is where your grandfather and
Mr. Shannon and I dug a five-inch
ditch with tiling spades. And it must
be right along here," I said as we
walked on, "that old Dave was buried."
We stopped in the calf lot. "It
must have been about here that I
taught a calf to drink out of a bucket
and wrote a 'piece' about it."
We went to the "old" house behind
the "new" house. "This is the house
where I was born, and now I'll show
you the very room." Thank God
there were no chickens in it. "And
here is the very hole in the floor
where the scrubbing water ran
away to mystify me so. And here's
the shelf where Hostetter's Almanac
used to hang."
It was a strange world to he~. But
she had heard me talk of all this a
thousand times, and now she seemed
to underst~nd what it meant to me;
and w~at 1t meant to have her on
t~e soll where he~ grandmother
picked l;1P buffal~ chiP,S.
Then mto the new house where
I showed her the room ~here I had
pecked off my first stones and the
wall where the panel had hung, and
w~ere we had packed the telesc.ope
;'nth t~e mouse hole. Then mto
Renz~ s room.
Tha?k. goodness
there 1s no seed c?rn m It today.
. At last the morrung was over and
dmner was over, and we went out
and sat on the porch where my
mother had said, "That's where your
father and I came driving across the
prairies on our honeymoon."
Carol looked across the cornlands
incredulously. "Was this ever the
prairies?"
"I'll say it was," I answered in
her own vernacular.
We went to the barn which I had
built word by word. Behind the
manger was a horse, and on a peg
behind the horse was a saddle. Her
eyes were immediately upon them
and her eyes danced. And so did
her voice. "Oh, Daddy, can I go
horseback riding?"
It just about floored me.

ARTHUR LANDAU (a little guy
with big ideas, who once managed Marie Dressler and Jean Harlow) punctures one of our pet notions. He says the outworn idea
that movies suffer from a dearth
of story material suited to the
screen is ridiculous and preposterous.
That's going to bring a hail of
sharp cracks about Arthur's ears,
because he's stepping on tender
toes. "I know I'm sticking my neck
out," he insists, "but there it is.
I've proved my contention by too
many personal experiences not to
know what I'm talking about."
The pulling and hauling that goes
on behind scenes when there's a hot
property going around is something
that the outsider wouldn't believe.
Let's let Arthur take us behind the
scenes for a bit of case history. He
is, incidentally, chief production associate for Ben Bogeaus, and had a
finger in three Bogeaus ventures"Dark Waters," "Captain "Kidd,"
and "There Goes Lona Henry."
Few, even insiders, know that it
was Landau who channeled "Thirty
Seconds Over Tokyo," one of the
great stories of this war, to MetroGoldwyn-Mayer.

flas the Know-How
He was put in contact with Captain (now Major) Ted Lawson by a
well-known Hollywood insider who,
being a former flier himself, has lots
of buddies among airmen.
Landau perceived immediately
that Lawson had something in the
story of the Shangri-la fliers and
their bombing of Tokyo.
Paramount had first crack at it.
Y. Frank Freeman was busy and
told Arthur to send the idea through
Bill Dozier, story editor.
Arthur
said "Nothing doing!" and went to
see Eddie Mannix at Metro. That's
how Paramount lost out.
Lawson offered Landau a contract. "You're an army officer,"
said Arthur. "If your word isn't any
good, your signature isn't, either."
Lawson said, "How much can you
get me?" Landau said he didn't
know-maybe $5, maybe $10,000,
maybe nothing.

High Finance
Metro held the script overnight,
sent for Landau, and offered him
$100,000 for it. Arthur said the author was holding out for $150,000.
They compromised for $125,000.
Landau was chinning with Eddie
Cantor in Eddie's library one eve1 ning
and happened to thumb
through a volume of stories by Oscar Wilde. One he liked. He bought
a copy of the volume and had a
transcript made of the story. Harry
Rapf met him at Metro and said he
was looking for a yarn. Landau
strung him along with an enthusiastic buildup and meanwhile ascertained that the American rights
were in the public domain. Rap!
snapped up the property.

The American major in charge of affairs in an

e~ccupied town in Italy was questioning some of the

eitizens of Adano. "What does this town need most?"
asked one.

"Much to eat," replied the Italian.
Another Italian said: "It needs a bell more than
anything. The spirit is more important than the
•tomach, and that hell which the Fascists took away
from Adano was our spirit."
The town got its bell.

A BELL FOR ADANO- a best seller for many
months- was written hy John Hersey, brilliant war
eorrespondent for Time and Life, after covering the
Sicilian campaign. The New York Times says: "It's
the finest novel about American participation in the
Second World War that we have seen."

"I'll venture," says Arthur, "that
there are more good stories in the
public domain than Hollywood has
ever made. Not every Tom, Dick,
or Harry can take these masterpieces and translate them to the
screen successfully. Take Conrad,
for example. Every effort to transfer his sea stories to the screen has
flopped . So we accept the lazy
man's explanation and agree that
Conrad makes fine reading but can't
be screened.
Posh!
He'll be

know how.

~Your 1915 Garden-

Garden soils require a large
amount of proper organic matter.
"Trench" method has proven satisfactory.
Generally, soil should be spaded or
plowed to a depth of 8 to 10 inches.
The best method of spading, as generally accepted, is to spade across the
garden, throwing out the first row of
soil. This provides a trench into
which succeeding spadefuls should be
thrown, covering well all organic
matter in the trench. If dry leaves
are used, it is well to sprinkle them
thoroughly with commercial fertilizer in the bottom of the trench. This
will aid in their decay, giving them
the necessary nitrogen.
The beginner is inclined to
take too big a "bite" of soil at
one stroke with the result that it
is not broken up properly. Smaller spadefuls will aid in shattering the soil, leaving it in a loose,
crumbled mass.

Trench Method
Proves Beneficial
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the use of barnyard or stable
manures. Cost of obtaining the manure in towns and cities, however,
is expensive and therefore the use
of commercial fertilizers is especially advisable. On small, intensively
planted gardens, fertilizers may be
sown broadcast and thoroughly
raked into the upper 3 or 4 inches
of soil. It should be well mixed be-fore the seeds are planted. Some gardene rs apply fertilizer two inches
to each side of the seed rows and
a little deeper than the seed. Apply
about one pound per 25 to 30 feet
of row, if they are two feet apart.
The usual method of composting
manure is to place the required
quantity in a low, flat pile and turn
it once every week or ten days until it has been turned three or four
times.
After the third or fourth
turning the manure can b e allowed
to remain in a fiat pile until wanted
for spreading on the garden.
If the manure is dry, water should
be added to prevent burning. Where
large quantities of manure are used
'. t is possible to save the finer ma~ rial for special sections of the gar·
len. Some may be used for cold
i1•nes or hot beds.

The average Amencan's most
vivid impression of the Orient was
:tcquired in less than an hour and
came to him free. with a bowl of
chicken chow-mein. This is no discredit to the average American. He
can't help it if Asia is mystC"Tious. It
is only an accident that we know a
great deal more about Europe. Our
ancC'stors came from that way, so
we heard about it.
It is high time now, however, for
every soul in the United States, who
loves his happy home and peaceful
surroundings, lo Jearn more of the
character of our straw-colored allies beyond the Pacific. We owe our
national safety to them. If it were
not for their native integrity we
would be held in a nut-cracker between Germany and Japan at this
hour, if we were yet able to fight
at all.
We Admire Britain
Americans are a tender-hearted
folk.
We sympathize with other
peoples and half-way try to understand them, but we don' t usually admire them very much. We felt sorry for the Poles when the Nazi took
them in 18 days. Our hearts went
out to the Norwegians because they
didn't last three weeks. We wept
with our British r elatives over Dunkirk, but we did more. We admired the British.
Late in 1937 the city of Nanking,
China, fell to the J apanese. Far
away over the sea strategists
thought that was about the end. If
China had folded up the next day
few people would have blamed her.
We Americans would have turned
the spjgot in our sympathy tank
again and drawn out a generous
sprinkling of tears for dear old
China, and then tried to forget it.
But forgetting it would have been
impossible.
Must Admire China
If China had fallen in 1937, four
J years before t he Pearl Harbor raid,
any child can guess why we Americans would still be remembering it.
But China did not fall. It would not
' be amiss for devout people to give
thanks at the table three times a
day that China did n ot fall. If China
had fallen Japan could have knifed
1
Russia on the unguarded side right
1
through Manchuria; surely would
have dQ,Ue so.
Back ill those early months of the
present war when the Germans
were all but knocking at the doors
of Moscow, our b ig old globe, as now
arranged, was coming unglued. If
Japan could have drawn close
enough to attack Russia from behind, the Germans would have
marched into Moscow. Then, with
no Russia to annoy him, H itler
would have parched London to a cin-

Apples Lend Selves
To Variety of Dishes
Although Americans are said to
be the ir:ventors of the famous combination of apples and pie crust,
turnovers, tat·ts and dumplings
often sutt the occasion as well and
are a great saving. Turnovers are
more convenient and easier to
pack in lunrh boxes. To make
apple turnovers, you roll pastry
dough into rounds about the size of
a large saucer. Arrange layers of
thinly sliced peeled apples on half
the pastry, sprinkle with a mixlurE' of sugar. cinnamon or allspice
and a bit of salt, and dot with fat.
Moisten the edge of the pastry and
fold the empty half over the applecovered half. Press the edges together with a fork, and prick the
top crust to allow steam to escape I
in cooking. Bake in a hot oven, 400
to 425 F., about 20 minutes until
apples are
tender
and crust
brown.
Apple dumplings are nke for a
good winter dessert. Peel and core
whole apples. Roll the dough in
rounds about the size of fruit
plates. In the center of each round
place the apple. sprinkled with
sugar, spice and salt and dotted
with fat. Lift the edges of the dough
up to the top of the apple and press
to gethrr like a bag. Bake in
greased muffin tins in a hot oven
30 to 40 min~te~ udil the apple is
tender. As for tarts, they are the
easiest yet to make. B&lt;;ke pastry
shells on mve~ted muff n tins. Just
before serving fill the si,::lls wtth
well-seasoned applewuce. If desired 1
sprinkle with nutmeg or chopped
nuts.

Infra-red pnrnts hnve had w1de

See Place for Milkweed
Plant in Postwar Era
MilkwC'ed seed oil has potential
value for use in protective coatings
such as exterior paints, enamels
And baked finishes, according to a
n•port to the American Chemical society. New U1'CS for the~e seeds, until now a waste product in the procluction of milkweed floss, will make
puss1ble the introductior. of milkweed cultivation in the permanent
!lgricultural economy after the war,
it is pointed out.
Prior to the war little attention
was given to the commerical value
of milkwePd floss and the oil from
the seeds, and the overall economic
and agricultural picture was not favorable for the establishment of any
significant milkv.eed industry in this
country, the report declares. However, as a rf'sult of the stoppage of
kapok imports from the East Indies,
the seed hair of milkweed floss has
become of great technical impor~
tance, and recent tests have in·
dicated its superiority over kapok.
Although the plant is perennial
and grows wild in many sections of
the United StatPs and Canada, a
J•.Hge amount is being cultivated to
satisfy the great dcmand for the
1\oss. The plant is hardy and requires little attention after the first
year of cultivation, and its growth
IS valuable in preventing soil erosion.

Bullfighting an Art
Bullfighting is considered an art
as well as a skill, and a torero in
his rich gold-embroidered costume
produces on the audience the same
effect as a ballet dancer. "In the
regular corrida six bulls are killed
by three matadors working alternately with their own subordinate
team of picadors and banderillcros. When the bull first comes in,
he is played by banderillero and
matador with capes.
Then the
mounted picadors enter, the bull
charges them, often kills the horse
but always gets a wound in the shoulder muscle from the picador's lance.
Next four pairs of bandcrillas
(barbed wooden shafts) are stud&lt;
into tile top of the hull's neck by thE
bandrrilleros or. w1th musical accompaniment. by the matadrr himself. Then the n'CJtador takes the
bull alone, ]Jiays him with the muleta (red cloth), kills him with a
sword." The bullring is a round circus-like construction. whose arena is
surrounded by a wooden grandstand.
There, bullfighters await their turn,
and to that alley, too, assistants in
the corrida sometimes jump to safe- )
ty-the matador himself, of course,
never leaving the ring until the bull
has been killed. Under the grandstand are stables for the bulls and
horses and an infirmary where doctors and nurses are always in attendance.

The modern Rhineland Palatinate comprises chiefly the German
political subdivision of the Saarland, a state which occupies nearly
2,000 square miles betwePn the west
bank of the Rhine and the French
Alsace-Lorraine border. Jt includes
the extremely valu&lt;1ble and now embattled mining and industrial Saar
district, which was placed under
League of Nations rule for 15 years
after the First World war, and theT'
returne~ to the Reich by plebiscite.
Besides the mines and indu:;1ries,
the Palatinate has rich stands of
timber and fertile farm land that
normally

is recornn ended that a ~~:ood size

wide, and 6 feet deep, and 9 feet
long, inside me-asurements. Material« necessary for a tank this size
are 27 bags of CE'ment, 21'4 cubic
yards sand, 3~4 yards gravel. 21 reinforcing rods 3 feet, 10 inches long
and ~~~ inch diameter, and 6 2 by 8

Woman Who Holds
An Outside Job

Potato soumes, made in individual
cups, are ftu.lly and golden brown.
They're nice to serve with pointeasy cold meats for ladies' luncheons or evening dinners.
Women have certainly shown
themselves adaptable during war
time. There aren't many who are
sitting at home and idling their time
away. You can be
sure that those
who are have
children to take
care of; otherwise they're out
working and carrying on at the
home front, too,
by keeping up their homes, cookin~
dinners and seeing that everything
is spic and span "as usual."
To those who do double duty, ordinary, long drawn-out recipes are of
no help. They simply don't have the
time to fuss with food. Yet, meals
must be nutritious, point-easy and
good to look at.
Today's menus are easily prepared in less than an hour. They
till the above qualifications .fully,
and can help those of you who work
still live up to your reputation as
a good cook.

Lynn Says:
Protective
Cooking:
Milk,
cheese, butter and eggs are perishable. Refrigerate them carefully and cook slowly to get the
most out of your food.
Cut carrots and other long
vegetables lengthwise. Their cells
are long and less of their nourishment will disappear if prepared this way.
Add dressing to fruits and
vegetables as 300n as they are
cut or cubed. The dressing coats
the cut surfaces and helps prevent vitamin destruction.
Shell peas or beans just before
cooking to prevent air from destroying the vitamin C.
Use as little water as possible
when cooking leafy vegetables.
After washing vegetables such
as spinach and cabbage, let water cling to the leaves and do not
add any more when cooking.
Hands off- when caring for
vegetables. Bruising causes rapid vitamin loss.

is the last column before the invasion. It is written aboard a
troop transport the evening before we storm onto Okinawa .
We are nervous. Anybody with any sense is nervous on the
night before D-Day. You feel weak and you try to think of things,
but your mind stubbornly drifts back to the awful image of tomorrow. It drags on your soul and you have nightmares.

leftover potatoes may be used. Or,
make enough potatoes from previous evening to use in the souffle:
Potato Souffle.
2 tablespoons butter or substitute
% cup hot milk
3 cups hot mashed potatoes
~ cup minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
% teaspoon pepper
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
Melt butter, combine with milk,
mashed potato, onion and seasonings. Whip together until smooth
and fluffy. Beat egg yolks and add
to first mixture. Beat egg whites
stiff and fold carefully into potato
mixture. Bake in a buttered casserole or individual casserole in a
moderate oven (375 degrees) for 35
to 40 minutes until puffy and golden
brown.

A

LANKY horseman rode
steadily through the Virginia hills under a bleak March sky,
his lean face brightening as he
recognized familiar landmarks.
He was muscular and vigorous
dospite his 66 years, with tanned
skin, clear hazel eyes, a kindly
expression and abundant gray
hair that still showed traces of
its original brick-red.
The rider urged his sorrel
faster up the slopes of a treecrowned hill that towered over
the rolling country side. Spurring
to the top, he threw the reins to
a colored groom, dismounted
lightly and greeted a family
group waiting for him near a
stately house.
Thomas Jefferson had come
home to Monticello. The year
was 1809. But a few days before
he had bid farewell to the White
House, wished his friend James
Madison Godspeed in the Presidency and rode out of Washington as a private citizen.
Since his birth, April 13, 1743, Jefferson had traveled an eventful
route. He had experienced some defeats and many triumphs. Virtually
every high office within the gift of
his feHow citizens had been his. He
had been state legislator and congressman; governor and minister;
secretary of state, vice president
and President for two terms. He
had doubled the territory of the
United States and built a powerful
political party. His ideals of liberty were engraved in the law of the
land .
And now in the fullness of his
honors he was to spend the next 17
years in serene retirement as the
"Sage of Monticello," busy amidst
his farms.
A Famous Epitaph.

Visitors to Monticello always
pause to study the epitaph chiseled
on the gray granite shaft over Jefferson's grave. Written by the great
statesman himsell before his death
on July 4, 1826, it reads: "Here
was buried Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independ~ncc; of the Statute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom: and Father of
the University of Virginia ."
- Most Americans are familiar with
these achievements of the manysided Jefferson. Few citizens, perhaps, are aware of another of his
contributions-his work for the development of modern, scientific
farming .
So, on the birthday of this great
farmer-statesman, it is appropriate to tell the story of his encouragement of agriculture. For farming
was one of the consuming interests
of Jefferson's life. His roots were
bedded in the earth. In many ways
he was generations ahead of his
time. He clearly saw the future
possibilities of American agriculture
and strove to make them a reality.
Jefferson inherited an estate of
1,900 acres. He added constantly ·to
that farm and by the time he married 21-year-old Mart:1a Wayles
Skelton on New Year's Day, 1772,
his holdings exceeded 10,000 acres.
A year later, the death of his fatherin-law brought the family an additional 40,000 acres situated in western Virgima.
As a practical farmer, Jefferson
was constantly on the alert for new
ideas. He made Monticello into a
progressive
experimental
farm
where new machinery, new methods, imrroved stock breeding, new
crops and tests in restoring soil fertility were tried out. Over a period
of years he grew as many as 32
different vegetables on his farm.
And he attempted to adapt and domPsticate acres of plants, shrubs
and trPes from distant countries.
His Land Impoverished.
The "Sage of Monticello" had
much to contend with. During his
absence on public business, overseers who farmed the land ravaged
it, he said, "to a degree of degradation far beyond what I had expectE-d." No attempts at diversification had been made. Unlike the
farmer of today who can get advice
trom hi~ county agents, agricultural
college agronomists or experiment
stations on whether his soil is deficient in nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash and then obtain the correct
analysis of mixed fertilizer, Jefferson had to depend on talks with his
neighbors and his readmg of farm
papers and books published in England.
So he corresponded frequently
with George Washington, James
Madison, John Adams, the Marquis

a carriage, now a building, now a

of flowers, he laid out a garden and
planted rare specimens. An architect who learned the art by independent study, he drew blueprints
for many buildings, many of which
still stand as a monument to the
many-sided genius of their creator.
In addition to Monticello, the best

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD, CRETE. ILL.

Entire Nation Mourns Death
Of Franklin D. Roosevelt;
Vast Tasks Face Truman

•

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
JANUARY 30, 1882-APRU.. 12, 1945.

THE guns of America's fighting forces sounded ever closer
AS the
doom of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he had
been resting for 10 days.
Death resulted from a cerebral hemorthage at 4: 35 p. m. on
April 12. Mr. Roosevelt was 63. He had been President for 12
years, one month and nine days. The White House was announced
as the site of the funeral, with interment at the family estate at
Hyde Park, N. Y.
Less than four months had elapsed since he had taken his historic oath of office for a fourth term. Only a few weeks before he
had returned from the Yalta conference where in company with
Marshal Stalin of Russia and Prime Minister Churchill of Great
Britain he had labored to built an enduring peace.
Fate denied Franklin Roosevelt the chance to enjoy the fruits
of victory over the Axis. Yet history seemed destined to enshrine
him as one of the immortal American Presidents. And every citiZPn who mourned the untimely passing of the Commander-ipChicf felt that he was a casualty of the war just as every G.f.,
Marine and Sailor who had fallen in battle.
Never before had an American
President died in wartime. Abraham Lincoln fell under Assassin
Booth's bullet just five days after
the surrender of General Lee's army
at Appomattox in 1865. Woodrow
Wilson lived to see victory over
Germany in World War I, but he
fought a losing battle for the
League of Nations and died early
in 1!:'24, a defeated leader. Many
historians believe Lincoln's greatne~s might have peen dimmed in
the conflicts over reconstruction
that followed the War Between the
Stales. just as 'Nilson's prestige
was lo!'::t in the conflict over t.he
!rae,ae that followed World War I.
Thus Franklin Roosevelt, dying at
the height of his career just as victory was to be achieved over Germany, seemed likely to live in hislory as a great man.
As the American people from
Ma in Street to Rivers;de Drive
mourned the death of Franklin
Roosevelt, their prayers went up
for his successor, Harry S. Truman.
For on the shoulders of this slight,
gray, 60-year-old Missourian had
been laid a responsibility such as
no American President had ever
borne.
What the consequences of the
President's death would be to
the United States and the
world, time alone would tell.
But as Americans recovered
from their first shock at the
news, they quicldy determined
two things. The war must be
prosecuted to as speedy and
victorious a finish as possible.
Lasting peace must be estab• lisbed.

Truman nevertheless has demonstrated on many occasions
that he can be a leader of force
and determination. His work as
chairman of the Truman committee in the U. S. senate investigating the conduct of the
war is cited as an example of
this. And his conduct of the

President's Life
Was Characterized
By Vigorous Action
' Unlike the "log-cabin" presidents,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not
born into poverty. When Franklin
arrived at Hyde Park, N. Y., on
January 30, 1882, he came into a
family that haa possessed wealth
for many generations. The Roosevelts had been thrifty ~and-owners
in the Hudson valley since the first
of the family came over from Holland. On his mother's side also
there was a substantial fortune.
Among his ancestors were many
men who had served the state in
various capacities.
Young Franklin attended the very
fashionable Groton school, where
he prepared for Harvard university.
After completing the liberal arts
course he entered Columbia U. law
school, from which he was graduated in 1907. Two years earlier.
however, he married his distant
cousin, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.
Eleanor was a n iece of Theodore
Roosevelt, at that time in the Whte
House.
After two years of legal practice, Franklin entered polWcs,
running on the Democratic
ticket for the New York ~tate
senate. He unexpectedly defeat·
ed a strong Republican candidate. From the beginning of his
career he identified himself with
reform movements, opposing
the poverful Tammany organi·
zation in the statehouse. He was
re-elected in 1912, by which
time he had become a leader of
the anti-Tammany faction.
Woodrow Wilson appointed Roosevelt assistant secretary of the
navy. When World War I broke out
Roosevelt proved himself an efficient administrator, handling billions of dollars' worth of contracts
for ships and supplies. He served in
this post throughout the war.
Ran for Vice President.
In 1920 the Democratic national
convention chose him as running
mate for James Cox. While campaigning for the vice presidency
Roosevelt made many acquamtances valuable in later political
life. Cox being defeated, F.D.R.
returned to legal practice.
The following year the great
tragedy of his life struck himinfantile paralysis. The big,
strong young man became a
bedridden invalid. For months
he lay without ambition, almost
without hope. Slowly his powerful will took command, however, and by persistence be
partially regained the use of
his muscles. It was during his
convalescence at Warm Springs,
Ga., that 1 he detern'lined to· do
what be could to eradicate the
scourge that had almost ruined
him. The ''March of Dimes"
campaign was the result.
At the Democratic conventions of
1924 and 1928, he aligned himself
with the group supporting Alfred
E. Smith, New York's governor.
When Smith was nom·nated in 1923,
Roosevelt ran for governor of his
state and was elected. At the end
of his two-year term he was again
elected, this time by the greate~t
majority ever given to a New York
governor.
As governor he continued the reform and improvement policies of
his predecessor Smith. His achievements attracted nationwide attention. As the depression that began
late in 1929 deepened, his ef!orts
to control the mounting busine~s
failures, unemployment and rlistress in his state revealed his abilities as a vigorous leader in grave
times.
Swept in as President.
When the national convention
met in Chicago in 1932 Roosevelt
:vas quickly chosen. He was swept
mto office by a plurality of seven
million votes, carrying 42 states.
Both houses went Democratic.
Before he could take office

a wave of bank failures threatened the whole economic structure. The famous "bank moratorium" order, one of Roosevelt's first official acts, closed
all banks until they could be reorganized on a sounder basis,
thus preventing disastrous runs.
In the spring of 1!.132 came the
repeal of the 18th, or prohibition amendment. Then came
the National Industrial Recovery Act, or "NRA," under
which extensive emergency pow·
ers were granted to the President. A series of public works
were authorized to combat unemployment, together with
huge appropriations for direct
relief.
. Th_e numerous executive and leg.
1slative acts of this first term were
~pproved in general as necessary
m the face of widespread suffer·
ing. A phrase from one of the
President's speeches, "a new deal."
developed into a title for the whole
Roosevelt program.
In 1936 the convention in Philadelphia nominated Roosevelt
by acclamation on the first ballot. He carried 46 states in the
elections. This second term majority was so overwhelming that
many New Dealers began to
call it a "mandate from the
people." Dm·ing this second
term a great number of measures were passed to increase
the economic security of the inllividual, particulat:IY the workers, hrmers and small businessmen.

to double the present production of
rice.
I will not deluge you with further
figures for I cannot produce them
with such a flavor of enthusiasm
and admixture of persona 1 delight
as Dr. Savage does, but I may add
that he spent four months in India
discovering and planning similar
projects in the Punjab, along the
Ganges, and in Afghanistan, on this
and other trips. Dr. Savage, I might
observe, is typical of a kind of government servant of which the world
knows very little. He is one of the
highly trained experts who prefer
public service to financial rewards.
These men turn down highly remunerative offers from business organizations.

Australia Ashs for
Dr. Savage's Help
Back in 1940 a cable came from
London asking the United States
government for Savage's assistance
in conjunction with the Burrinjuck
dam in Australia. Before the department of the interior replied, Dr. Savage was reminded of what he already knew; namely, that United
States officials may not receive
emoluments of any kind from foreign governments. Our founding fathers were quite sensitive on that
point.
". . . no person," says the Constitution, "holding any office of profit or trust under (the United States)
shall, without the consent of Congress, accept any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind
whatever, from any king, prince or
foreign state."
And so Savage, rather than delay
the pr·oject while congress decided
whether such emolument be permitted, wired the then commissioner of
the bureau of reclamation: "Any assistance given to New South Wales
will be gratis and I shall not accept
any fee or other form of compensation or any reimbursement."
As a government servant, Dr.
Savage, although he cannot accept
titles and awards from princes,
kings or foreign commoners, has
garnered plenty of honors from
American institutions. They include
his doctorate in science from the
University of Wisconsin and the
American Society of Civil Engineers'
medal. Also he has that most coveted award, the Gold medal for outs~anding engineering service, a joint
· award of the leading organizations of
his profession.
If culture can be served by damming rivers. and c2pital can be
found to pay the bill, they'll be
dammed-by Savage.

The war will wine out a lot of ignorant sneers w!Jich so-called "practical" men often direct at "longhaired professors." Perhaps the science of psychology gets the most
wallops from the uninitiated. Says
General Arnold in his second report
on the army air force: "The RAF
paid the AAF a compliment in 1944
by adopting our system of air crew
selechon and classification. Our psychological testing procedures were
also adopted by the Free French."
There are 20 psychological tests
administered which have proved valid in predicting a cadet's chance to
win his wings and his chance for
combat success.
"The aviation psychology program
has paid off in time, lives and ....
money saved,." says General Arnold,
"at a total cost of less than $5 per
candidate."

Studies Map, Selects
Five Sites for Dam&amp;
The map proved to be excellent
and one could almost see the engin('er's mouth water as he examined
it, picking out sights simply crying
to be oommed. Then, still as if it
were all a great lark, he said trat
he went on down the river to within
three miles of the battle lines (perhaps the genial general-host had
called off the war for the afternoon).
Anyhow, Dr. Savage said, smiling,
that he had selected five possible
dam sites.
The dam in the Yangtze gorge,
he told us, will probably be about
750 feet high and there will be 20
tunnels of about 50 feet diameter to
divert the river flow. Boulder dam
on the Colorado, he told us for comparison, was 730 feet high and had

Dr. Savage went into similar detail regarding more dams on tributaries to the Yargtze. The fatal result, beside regulating the river-flow

Recently I sat with a group of my
colleagues at a table and listened to
a shy, elderly man, who might have
been a professor of Greek, talk about
dams. Just a moment before I had
been in the newsroom reading of the
terrible destruction which had levelled the cities of Europe. I couldn't
help thinking of the paradox of civilization as this quiet man, who is
the designing engineer for the greatest dams in the world, Grande Coulee, Boulder, Shasta, the Norris dam
in the Tennessee valley and scores
of others all over the world, outlined
construction projects for Asia. His
program is the exact antithesis of
what is going on m Europe.
John Lucian Savage is chief designing engineer of the bureau of
reclamation of the department of the
interior. He has just returned from
14 months in the Far East where he
has conferred with Generalissimo
C' ·'lng Kai-shek of China and with
o cials in India and Palestine on
construction projects which dwarf
the world's greatest efforts in this
direction.
Dr. Savage discussed these undertakings as if they were some beautiful little wo ks of art which had, perhaps, a utilJcarian value, but wh1ch
after all were creations of the imagination, important in themselves. In
the course of a half hour or so he
outlined projects which would affect the life of literally millions of
people for untold generations and
might well change the course, not
only of their history, but the world's.
He went to the Far East representing the U. S. government, loaned
by the department of the interior to
the state department as a specialist
under its cultural program. Much
has been said (with eyebrows slightly raised) about Uncle Sam's effort
to spread American culture and help
import some of that product from
other nations. Most people do not
realize that cultural matters include 10,500,000-kilowatt-waterpower
plants.
T "We went lllown the lYangtze) river from Chungking," said Dr. SavagE' as if he were describing a moonlight ride on the Potomac, "by
steamboat and launch to within 15
kilometers '.about nine miles) of
!chang." (Later it was explained
that he had to stop because it happened that a war was going on in
that vicinity.) "I had with me all
the 1opographical data I could find
and I had spotted three possible dam
sites from these maps. I stayed
with General - - (name omitted for
security reasons). I asked him if
he had any topograr-hic maps that
might be helpful to me. He replied
that he had captured an aerial map
from the Japanese."

CHAPTER XXV
On one of these trips, I was told
that Newt Kennedy was sick and
wanted to see me. His hands were
on the outside of the covers-those
great hands that had tamed so many
wild mules. But now the joints were
knobby and the flesh wasted away
between them; and his eyes that
had twinkled so many times, were
sunken and hollow.
I sat down beside him, deeply affected. After a while the paid wom.an who was waiting on him left the
room, and he and I were alone together. The years slipped away;
we were back on adjoining farms. I
spoke of the captured weasel, but
he had forgotten it.
But he hadn't forgotten breaking
the mules. He laughed-then had to
·cough-this giant, this strongest man
in the neighborhood, this man who
got so much fun out of living, this
boyhood hero.
His voice grew weak, for I stayed
too long, living over the old days.
Finally the paid woman came in.
But Newt still had a message. "We
had lots of fun, didn't we?" he wlliSpered, for his voice was about gone.
"We did," I said.
It was the last time I ever saw
him. But I will remember him all
my life-Newt Kennedy, the man
who taught me to have fun.
Sometimes I ask myself, "What
are the best ideas I've got out of
life?" Sometimes I am saddened by
how few they are . . . But, as I
look back, I realize that certain ideas
have helped me. I am a bit shocked
by how few are religious. At least,
religious in the accepted sense.
I think the first helpful idea I had
was how deeply absorbed each person is in himself and how important
each person is to himself. I realize
this is almost self-evident, but r did
not discover it for a long time. And
when I did &lt;tiiscover it, it opened up
a new world of understanding. It
made me expect less of people and it
taught me not to be disappointed
when they seemed indifferent or neglectful; even cruel. It has helped
me in making and keNJing friends,
for when friends have wounded me,
I have realized it was because they
were thinking of themselves and not
of me, and I have forgiven them and
made allowances.
I've learned that the way to understand others is to study myself.
For I have found that I'm a little of
every person I've ever known. When
I am prone to condemn another, I
try to stop and say, "Well, if I had
been surrounded by the same influences and hedged about by the same
conditions, I would have probably
done as he did." I suppose it gets
down to the ability to "make allowances." And that is what I try to
do. But sometimes I find myself flying into a person, or into a situation, as if I hadn't learned anything
at all. It's pretty discouraging.
I've learned how many people suffer from an inferiority complex and
I've learned to deal gently with
them. This is especially true on a
first meeting. When people are cold,
or indifferent, or aloof, or downright inimical, I say to myself, "It's
the old inferiority complex at its
work. I must make allowances. He
may be a pretty good person after
all." It's surprising how many are!
I've learned that most people,
away down inside, often feel dismally alone and inadequate and are
haunted by frustration and the conviction that the world is too much
ior them. And, realizing this from
reading my own secret heart, I try
to be a little more gentle and a little more considerate.
I've learned that when two persons meet they at once begin the
-process of trying to impress each
other. Each tries to show how important he himself is. This comes
out in a thousand ways: by sly indicatio!ls of how much money he
has, or how much he has traveled,
or how important his friends are.
I watch this in others, with a sort of
knowing smile to myself. Yet, pretty soon, I catch myself busy at the
old game of trying to impress the
other person.
My passing years have tau~ht me
the folly of trying to change people.
People, it seems to me, are born
with certain traits and predilections
and you can no more change these
traits than you can change the length
of their fingers. It seems to me
that you must either accept a person for what he is, or pass him up
entirely. There is no middle ground.
I've learned to be tolerant of other
people's ideas and beliefs and ways
of life. Sometimes, later, to my
a stonishment, I've found myself accepting the very beliefs I once
thought were crackpot. Then I wonder why other people haven't got
gumption enougr. to take them up.
I ve learned. vhen I'm discour- •

aged and at the bottom of the trough,
not to make decisions at night, when
fatigue and weariness are heavy
upon me. I say to myself, then,
"Well, things are pretty black. But
I'll get a good night's sleep and see
how they are in the morning." Thus,
in the morning and with my vitality
at its full, I'm able to cope with situations that, the night before, had all
but done for me.
I do not know exactly when, or
how, I got the following idea, but I
do know it has helped me in understanding people and' in getting along
with them: And that is every person wants to be considered important. Sometimes I think this one of
the deepest cravings planted in a human being. Once I got this idea, I
could see it working itself out in a
thousand ways. I learned to let the
other person exert his desire to be
considered important and to suppress my own. I made the other
person the star of the show and
talked about him and his desires
and his views, and said little about
my own. The effect was almost miraculous, for no one in the world
can resist the appeal of being the
center of attention. It comes to me
easily to make the other person the
hero, for his adventures and his
views interest me tremendously; my
own are an old story.
I have learned to be considerate of
people, for life has taught me that
most people, most of the time, are
discouraged and carry on their
shoulders a whole bag of troubles I
can't see. Along with this I have
discovered how deeply people want
praise. And how much good it does
them. And so I have learned to
give praise more readily than I did
during my younger years. When I
saw somebody, then, who deserved
praise, I took it as a matter of
course and said nothing; now I am
more generous with my approval.
But it must be honest approval, or
otherwise I would not be deceitful
enough to give it. Nor would it be
worth receiving. Sometimes it goes
straij!ht to my heart to see what
wonders a bit of praise will accomplish.
Another lesson r learned is that one
must not be too sensitive a soul.
In my early days I was constantly
receiving rebuffs and arrow prickssome imagined, some deliberate.
But as the years went by, I discovered that to live successfully, I
must learn not to be so easily
wounded. I did learn it, and now
arrows glance off that used to draw
blood.
Another is the matter of fear. In
my younger days I suffered greatly
from fear. Mostly it was fear of
the unknown. I could cope with the
troubles that were upon me, but was
apprehensive about those that might
come. One day I came upon a quotation at the bottom of a newspaper
column, a "filler." It was from Emerson: "Do the thing you fear to
do and the death of fear is certain." r must have seen the quotation before, but if I had it had made
no impression on me, Or my mind
wasn't ripe for it. Now, in a kind of
blinding flash, I realized the truth of
those few words. And I began to try
to put it into practice. I have not
eliminated all fear, but that one simple idea has been of great help.
Sometimes I forget all about it . . .
usually when things are going well.
When I find myself in trouble and
harassed by fear and misgivings, I
remember my Emerson quotation
and am usually able to decide on a
course of action instead of worrying
about what is going to happen. I
think I can say that Emerson's quotation has helped me more than any
other precept in all my life.

HOLLYWOOD

I have come to look upon com·
plete happiness as unattainable.
Happiness, as I understand it, is a
sense of present well-~ing, on which
is hung, like a Christmas wreath the
belief that some fine bit of good' for·
tune lies just ahead.
I have come to have less and les!
respect for the power in people tha1
makes money. It seems to me this
is wholly a selfish trait, and the leas1
admirable of all the major drives in
human beings. I realize this take~
in a great deal of territory, for 1
know that a certain amount of mon·
ey is necessary, but it seems to me
that a life dedicated to money-mak·
ing is about as empty a shell as one
could crawl into.
I have learned to live today and
not wait till tomorrow. During my
early life, I kept thinking to myself,
"Well, I'm not getting much out of
today, but soon I'll be in another
city, or have more money, or will
be selling more manuscripts, or will
have a new group of friends, then
I'll really get some fun out of life."
Written June 11th, 1943.
Sometimes we have to look back
on a day to know it has been one of
satisfaction.
But sometimes we
know the day is a satisfying one at
the very time it is racing by. And
today is one of them, for today the
third generation of Croys set foot on
this land. Carol had arrived from
the University of Arizona, at Tucson,
where she had been in school, and
then-on this day-my dream came
true. We walked acroc:s the farm
together-just she and l-and I
showed her the scenes I knew so
well. We came to a great ~ully.
"This is where your grandfather and
Mr. Shannon and I dug a five-inch
ditch with tiling spades. And it must
be right along here," I said as we
walked on, "that old Dave was buried."
We stopped in the calf lot. "It
must have been about here that I
taught a calf to drink out of a bucket
and wrote a 'piece' about it."
We went to the "old" house behind
the "new" house. "This is the house
where I was born, and now I'll show
you the very room." Thank God
there were no chickens in it. "And
here is the very hole in the floor
where the scrubbing water ran
away to mystify me so. And here's
the shelf where Hostetter's Almanac
used to hang."
It was a strange world to he~. But
she had heard me talk of all this a
thousand times, and now she seemed
to underst~nd what it meant to me;
and w~at 1t meant to have her on
t~e soll where he~ grandmother
picked l;1P buffal~ chiP,S.
Then mto the new house where
I showed her the room ~here I had
pecked off my first stones and the
wall where the panel had hung, and
w~ere we had packed the telesc.ope
;'nth t~e mouse hole. Then mto
Renz~ s room.
Tha?k. goodness
there 1s no seed c?rn m It today.
. At last the morrung was over and
dmner was over, and we went out
and sat on the porch where my
mother had said, "That's where your
father and I came driving across the
prairies on our honeymoon."
Carol looked across the cornlands
incredulously. "Was this ever the
prairies?"
"I'll say it was," I answered in
her own vernacular.
We went to the barn which I had
built word by word. Behind the
manger was a horse, and on a peg
behind the horse was a saddle. Her
eyes were immediately upon them
and her eyes danced. And so did
her voice. "Oh, Daddy, can I go
horseback riding?"
It just about floored me.

ARTHUR LANDAU (a little guy
with big ideas, who once managed Marie Dressler and Jean Harlow) punctures one of our pet notions. He says the outworn idea
that movies suffer from a dearth
of story material suited to the
screen is ridiculous and preposterous.
That's going to bring a hail of
sharp cracks about Arthur's ears,
because he's stepping on tender
toes. "I know I'm sticking my neck
out," he insists, "but there it is.
I've proved my contention by too
many personal experiences not to
know what I'm talking about."
The pulling and hauling that goes
on behind scenes when there's a hot
property going around is something
that the outsider wouldn't believe.
Let's let Arthur take us behind the
scenes for a bit of case history. He
is, incidentally, chief production associate for Ben Bogeaus, and had a
finger in three Bogeaus ventures"Dark Waters," "Captain "Kidd,"
and "There Goes Lona Henry."
Few, even insiders, know that it
was Landau who channeled "Thirty
Seconds Over Tokyo," one of the
great stories of this war, to MetroGoldwyn-Mayer.

flas the Know-How
He was put in contact with Captain (now Major) Ted Lawson by a
well-known Hollywood insider who,
being a former flier himself, has lots
of buddies among airmen.
Landau perceived immediately
that Lawson had something in the
story of the Shangri-la fliers and
their bombing of Tokyo.
Paramount had first crack at it.
Y. Frank Freeman was busy and
told Arthur to send the idea through
Bill Dozier, story editor.
Arthur
said "Nothing doing!" and went to
see Eddie Mannix at Metro. That's
how Paramount lost out.
Lawson offered Landau a contract. "You're an army officer,"
said Arthur. "If your word isn't any
good, your signature isn't, either."
Lawson said, "How much can you
get me?" Landau said he didn't
know-maybe $5, maybe $10,000,
maybe nothing.

High Finance
Metro held the script overnight,
sent for Landau, and offered him
$100,000 for it. Arthur said the author was holding out for $150,000.
They compromised for $125,000.
Landau was chinning with Eddie
Cantor in Eddie's library one eve1 ning
and happened to thumb
through a volume of stories by Oscar Wilde. One he liked. He bought
a copy of the volume and had a
transcript made of the story. Harry
Rapf met him at Metro and said he
was looking for a yarn. Landau
strung him along with an enthusiastic buildup and meanwhile ascertained that the American rights
were in the public domain. Rap!
snapped up the property.

The American major in charge of affairs in an

e~ccupied town in Italy was questioning some of the

eitizens of Adano. "What does this town need most?"
asked one.

he

"Much to eat," replied the Italian.
Another Italian said: "It needs a bell more than
anything. The spirit is more important than the
•tomach, and that hell which the Fascists took away
from Adano was our spirit."
The town got its bell.

A BELL FOR ADANO- a best seller for many
months- was written hy John Hersey, brilliant war
eorrespondent for Time and Life, after covering the
Sicilian campaign. The New York Times says: "It's
the finest novel about American participation in the
Second World War that we have seen."

"I'll venture," says Arthur, "that
there are more good stories in the
public domain than Hollywood has
ever made. Not every Tom, Dick,
or Harry can take these masterpieces and translate them to the
screen successfully. Take Conrad,
for example. Every effort to transfer his sea stories to the screen has
flopped . So we accept the lazy
man's explanation and agree that
Conrad makes fine reading but can't
be screened.
Posh!
He'll be
screened one day by someone who'll
know how.
"Right here in our own company

from RKO, which owned it for
years. No one wanted to play in it.

~Your 1915 Garden-

Garden soils require a large
amount of proper organic matter.
"Trench" method has proven satisfactory.
Generally, soil should be spaded or
plowed to a depth of 8 to 10 inches.
The best method of spading, as generally accepted, is to spade across the
garden, throwing out the first row of
soil. This provides a trench into
which succeeding spadefuls should be
thrown, covering well all organic
matter in the trench. If dry leaves
are used, it is well to sprinkle them
thoroughly with commercial fertilizer in the bottom of the trench. This
will aid in their decay, giving them
the necessary nitrogen.
The beginner is inclined to
take too big a "bite" of soil at
one stroke with the result that it
is not broken up properly. Smaller spadefuls will aid in shattering the soil, leaving it in a loose,
crumbled mass.

Trench Method
Proves Beneficial
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the use of barnyard or stable
manures. Cost of obtaining the manure in towns and cities, however,
is expensive and therefore the use
of commercial fertilizers is especially advisable. On small, intensively
planted gardens, fertilizers may be
sown broadcast and thoroughly
raked into the upper 3 or 4 inches
of soil. It should be well mixed be-fore the seeds are planted. Some gardene rs apply fertilizer two inches
to each side of the seed rows and
a little deeper than the seed. Apply
about one pound per 25 to 30 feet
of row, if they are two feet apart.
The usual method of composting
manure is to place the required
quantity in a low, flat pile and turn
it once every week or ten days until it has been turned three or four
times.
After the third or fourth
turning the manure can b e allowed
to remain in a fiat pile until wanted
for spreading on the garden.
If the manure is dry, water should
be added to prevent burning. Where
large quantities of manure are used
'. t is possible to save the finer ma~ rial for special sections of the gar·
len. Some may be used for cold
i1•nes or hot beds.

The average Amencan's most
vivid impression of the Orient was
:tcquired in less than an hour and
came to him free. with a bowl of
chicken chow-mein. This is no discredit to the average American. He
can't help it if Asia is mystC"Tious. It
is only an accident that we know a
great deal more about Europe. Our
ancC'stors came from that way, so
we heard about it.
It is high time now, however, for
every soul in the United States, who
loves his happy home and peaceful
surroundings, lo Jearn more of the
character of our straw-colored allies beyond the Pacific. We owe our
national safety to them. If it were
not for their native integrity we
would be held in a nut-cracker between Germany and Japan at this
hour, if we were yet able to fight
at all.
We Admire Britain
Americans are a tender-hearted
folk.
We sympathize with other
peoples and half-way try to understand them, but we don' t usually admire them very much. We felt sorry for the Poles when the Nazi took
them in 18 days. Our hearts went
out to the Norwegians because they
didn't last three weeks. We wept
with our British r elatives over Dunkirk, but we did more. We admired the British.
Late in 1937 the city of Nanking,
China, fell to the J apanese. Far
away over the sea strategists
thought that was about the end. If
China had folded up the next day
few people would have blamed her.
We Americans would have turned
the spjgot in our sympathy tank
again and drawn out a generous
sprinkling of tears for dear old
China, and then tried to forget it.
But forgetting it would have been
impossible.
Must Admire China
If China had fallen in 1937, four
J years before t he Pearl Harbor raid,
any child can guess why we Americans would still be remembering it.
But China did not fall. It would not
' be amiss for devout people to give
thanks at the table three times a
day that China did n ot fall. If China
had fallen Japan could have knifed
1
Russia on the unguarded side right
1
through Manchuria; surely would
have dQ,Ue so.
Back ill those early months of the
present war when the Germans
were all but knocking at the doors
of Moscow, our b ig old globe, as now
arranged, was coming unglued. If
Japan could have drawn close
enough to attack Russia from behind, the Germans would have
marched into Moscow. Then, with
no Russia to annoy him, H itler
would have parched London to a cin-

Apples Lend Selves
To Variety of Dishes
Although Americans are said to
be the ir:ventors of the famous combination of apples and pie crust,
turnovers, tat·ts and dumplings
often sutt the occasion as well and
are a great saving. Turnovers are
more convenient and easier to
pack in lunrh boxes. To make
apple turnovers, you roll pastry
dough into rounds about the size of
a large saucer. Arrange layers of
thinly sliced peeled apples on half
the pastry, sprinkle with a mixlurE' of sugar. cinnamon or allspice
and a bit of salt, and dot with fat.
Moisten the edge of the pastry and
fold the empty half over the applecovered half. Press the edges together with a fork, and prick the
top crust to allow steam to escape I
in cooking. Bake in a hot oven, 400
to 425 F., about 20 minutes until
apples are
tender
and crust
brown.
Apple dumplings are nke for a
good winter dessert. Peel and core
whole apples. Roll the dough in
rounds about the size of fruit
plates. In the center of each round
place the apple. sprinkled with
sugar, spice and salt and dotted
with fat. Lift the edges of the dough
up to the top of the apple and press
to gethrr like a bag. Bake in
greased muffin tins in a hot oven
30 to 40 min~te~ udil the apple is
tender. As for tarts, they are the
easiest yet to make. B&lt;;ke pastry
shells on mve~ted muff n tins. Just
before serving fill the si,::lls wtth
well-seasoned applewuce. If desired 1
sprinkle with nutmeg or chopped
nuts.

Infra-red pnrnts hnve had w1de
use in the war !or camouflag£&gt; purpose~&gt; to defeat enemy photographers armed With infra-red camera . Now. after a year's experience, it has bee&gt;n found that the
infra-red. paints reflect almvst as
much heat as aluminum paint.

See Place for Milkweed
Plant in Postwar Era
MilkwC'ed seed oil has potential
value for use in protective coatings
such as exterior paints, enamels
And baked finishes, according to a
n•port to the American Chemical society. New U1'CS for the~e seeds, until now a waste product in the procluction of milkweed floss, will make
puss1ble the introductior. of milkweed cultivation in the permanent
!lgricultural economy after the war,
it is pointed out.
Prior to the war little attention
was given to the commerical value
of milkwePd floss and the oil from
the seeds, and the overall economic
and agricultural picture was not favorable for the establishment of any
significant milkv.eed industry in this
country, the report declares. However, as a rf'sult of the stoppage of
kapok imports from the East Indies,
the seed hair of milkweed floss has
become of great technical impor~
tance, and recent tests have in·
dicated its superiority over kapok.
Although the plant is perennial
and grows wild in many sections of
the United StatPs and Canada, a
J•.Hge amount is being cultivated to
satisfy the great dcmand for the
1\oss. The plant is hardy and requires little attention after the first
year of cultivation, and its growth
IS valuable in preventing soil erosion.

Bullfighting an Art
Bullfighting is considered an art
as well as a skill, and a torero in
his rich gold-embroidered costume
produces on the audience the same
effect as a ballet dancer. "In the
regular corrida six bulls are killed
by three matadors working alternately with their own subordinate
team of picadors and banderillcros. When the bull first comes in,
he is played by banderillero and
matador with capes.
Then the
mounted picadors enter, the bull
charges them, often kills the horse
but always gets a wound in the shoulder muscle from the picador's lance.
Next four pairs of bandcrillas
(barbed wooden shafts) are stud&lt;
into tile top of the hull's neck by thE
bandrrilleros or. w1th musical accompaniment. by the matadrr himself. Then the n'CJtador takes the
bull alone, ]Jiays him with the muleta (red cloth), kills him with a
sword." The bullring is a round circus-like construction. whose arena is
surrounded by a wooden grandstand.
There, bullfighters await their turn,
and to that alley, too, assistants in
the corrida sometimes jump to safe- )
ty-the matador himself, of course,
never leaving the ring until the bull
has been killed. Under the grandstand are stables for the bulls and
horses and an infirmary where doctors and nurses are always in attendance.

The modern Rhineland Palatinate comprises chiefly the German
political subdivision of the Saarland, a state which occupies nearly
2,000 square miles betwePn the west
bank of the Rhine and the French
Alsace-Lorraine border. Jt includes
the extremely valu&lt;1ble and now embattled mining and industrial Saar
district, which was placed under
League of Nations rule for 15 years
after the First World war, and theT'
returne~ to the Reich by plebiscite.
Besides the mines and indu:;1ries,
the Palatinate has rich stands of
timber and fertile farm land that
normally
produces
considerable
grains, tobacco, potatoes, a'ld sugar
beets. Orchards and vinevards arc
a peacetime feature of tl;e region,
w'1ich has been noted as a winegrowing center of Germany. Wines
from this district are calkd Palatinate. The word Palatine has been
applied also to a fur tippet covering
the neck and shoulders. It was introduced during the 17th century by
the Princess Palatine, wife of the
Duke of Orleans.

is recornn ended that a ~~:ood size
tank for farm house use .is 3 feet
wide, and 6 feet deep, and 9 feet
long, inside me-asurements. Material« necessary for a tank this size
are 27 bags of CE'ment, 21'4 cubic
yards sand, 3~4 yards gravel. 21 reinforcing rods 3 feet, 10 inches long
and ~~~ inch diameter, and 6 2 by 8
inch planks, HT feet long, for baffles. Reason for the larger sized
tank is that sewage will be forced
out from the tank before complete
decomposition and clog the dispersal field. and that th~ smaller
tank will fill with sludge and have
to be cleaned more often.

Woman Who Holds
An Outside Job

Potato soumes, made in individual
cups, are ftu.lly and golden brown.
They're nice to serve with pointeasy cold meats for ladies' luncheons or evening dinners.
Women have certainly shown
themselves adaptable during war
time. There aren't many who are
sitting at home and idling their time
away. You can be
sure that those
who are have
children to take
care of; otherwise they're out
working and carrying on at the
home front, too,
by keeping up their homes, cookin~
dinners and seeing that everything
is spic and span "as usual."
To those who do double duty, ordinary, long drawn-out recipes are of
no help. They simply don't have the
time to fuss with food. Yet, meals
must be nutritious, point-easy and
good to look at.
Today's menus are easily prepared in less than an hour. They
till the above qualifications .fully,
and can help those of you who work
still live up to your reputation as
a good cook.

Lynn Says:
Protective
Cooking:
Milk,
cheese, butter and eggs are perishable. Refrigerate them carefully and cook slowly to get the
most out of your food.
Cut carrots and other long
vegetables lengthwise. Their cells
are long and less of their nourishment will disappear if prepared this way.
Add dressing to fruits and
vegetables as 300n as they are
cut or cubed. The dressing coats
the cut surfaces and helps prevent vitamin destruction.
Shell peas or beans just before
cooking to prevent air from destroying the vitamin C.
Use as little water as possible
when cooking leafy vegetables.
After washing vegetables such
as spinach and cabbage, let water cling to the leaves and do not
add any more when cooking.
Hands off- when caring for
vegetables. Bruising causes rapid vitamin loss.

is the last column before the invasion. It is written aboard a
troop transport the evening before we storm onto Okinawa .
We are nervous. Anybody with any sense is nervous on the
night before D-Day. You feel weak and you try to think of things,
but your mind stubbornly drifts back to the awful image of tomorrow. It drags on your soul and you have nightmares.

leftover potatoes may be used. Or,
make enough potatoes from previous evening to use in the souffle:
Potato Souffle.
2 tablespoons butter or substitute
% cup hot milk
3 cups hot mashed potatoes
~ cup minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
% teaspoon pepper
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
Melt butter, combine with milk,
mashed potato, onion and seasonings. Whip together until smooth
and fluffy. Beat egg yolks and add
to first mixture. Beat egg whites
stiff and fold carefully into potato
mixture. Bake in a buttered casserole or individual casserole in a
moderate oven (375 degrees) for 35
to 40 minutes until puffy and golden
brown.

steadily through the Virginia hills under a bleak March sky,
his lean face brightening as he
recognized familiar landmarks.
He was muscular and vigorous
dospite his 66 years, with tanned
skin, clear hazel eyes, a kindly
expression and abundant gray
hair that still showed traces of
its original brick-red.
The rider urged his sorrel
faster up the slopes of a treecrowned hill that towered over
the rolling country side. Spurring
to the top, he threw the reins to
a colored groom, dismounted
lightly and greeted a family
group waiting for him near a
stately house.
Thomas Jefferson had come
home to Monticello. The year
was 1809. But a few days before
he had bid farewell to the White
House, wished his friend James
Madison Godspeed in the Presidency and rode out of Washington as a private citizen.
Since his birth, April 13, 1743, Jefferson had traveled an eventful
route. He had experienced some defeats and many triumphs. Virtually
every high office within the gift of
his feHow citizens had been his. He
had been state legislator and congressman; governor and minister;
secretary of state, vice president
and President for two terms. He
had doubled the territory of the
United States and built a powerful
political party. His ideals of liberty were engraved in the law of the
land .
And now in the fullness of his
honors he was to spend the next 17
years in serene retirement as the
"Sage of Monticello," busy amidst
his farms.
A Famous Epitaph.

Visitors to Monticello always
pause to study the epitaph chiseled
on the gray granite shaft over Jefferson's grave. Written by the great
statesman himsell before his death
on July 4, 1826, it reads: "Here
was buried Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independ~ncc; of the Statute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom: and Father of
the University of Virginia ."
- Most Americans are familiar with
these achievements of the manysided Jefferson. Few citizens, perhaps, are aware of another of his
contributions-his work for the development of modern, scientific
farming .
So, on the birthday of this great
farmer-statesman, it is appropriate to tell the story of his encouragement of agriculture. For farming
was one of the consuming interests
of Jefferson's life. His roots were
bedded in the earth. In many ways
he was generations ahead of his
time. He clearly saw the future
possibilities of American agriculture
and strove to make them a reality.
Jefferson inherited an estate of
1,900 acres. He added constantly ·to
that farm and by the time he married 21-year-old Mart:1a Wayles
Skelton on New Year's Day, 1772,
his holdings exceeded 10,000 acres.
A year later, the death of his fatherin-law brought the family an additional 40,000 acres situated in western Virgima.
As a practical farmer, Jefferson
was constantly on the alert for new
ideas. He made Monticello into a
progressive
experimental
farm
where new machinery, new methods, imrroved stock breeding, new
crops and tests in restoring soil fertility were tried out. Over a period
of years he grew as many as 32
different vegetables on his farm.
And he attempted to adapt and domPsticate acres of plants, shrubs
and trPes from distant countries.
His Land Impoverished.
The "Sage of Monticello" had
much to contend with. During his
absence on public business, overseers who farmed the land ravaged
it, he said, "to a degree of degradation far beyond what I had expectE-d." No attempts at diversification had been made. Unlike the
farmer of today who can get advice
trom hi~ county agents, agricultural
college agronomists or experiment
stations on whether his soil is deficient in nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash and then obtain the correct
analysis of mixed fertilizer, Jefferson had to depend on talks with his
neighbors and his readmg of farm
papers and books published in England.
So he corresponded frequently
with George Washington, James
Madison, John Adams, the Marquis

a carriage, now a building, now a

of flowers, he laid out a garden and

for many buildings, many of which
still stand as a monument to the
many-sided genius of their creator.
In addition to Monticello, the best

�THE RECORD. CRETE. ILL.

Harry Tru1nan's Ijife Story Proves Again
'Cabin-to-White House' Road Is Still Open
President Advanced
From County Offices
To Head of Nation
By Elliott Pine
Rcle&gt;•sed b:v Western Newspaper Union.

Forty years ago Harry Truman was plowing behind a mule
on a Missouri farm. Today he
is in the White House, in many
ways the most powerful man in
tlw world.
The new president was born in
Lamar, Mo., May 8, 1884. Four
yr·:1rs la1r&gt;r his p;nents, John Anderson and Martha Young Truman, returne d to Jackson county, 125 miles
north, which was the ancestral
hnmp of both. Harry grew up on the
600-acre family farm in Jackson
&lt;·mnnv near Grandview . His mother,
still alive at 92, remarked reminiscently last fall when he was elected
to the vice presidency:
"That boy could plow the straightest J ow of corn in the county. He
could sow wheat so there wouldn't
be a bare spot in the whole field.
He was a farmer who could do anything there was to do-just a little
bit better than anyone else."
During his grade and high school
days Harry distinguished himself
by his scholarship. He was an
omnivorous reader, an earnest student of everything. When he graduated in 1901, he hoped to go to college, but, although his father was
known as the "best horse and mule
traoer l1l the county," family
finances would not permit any more
education for the eager youth. He
won an appointment to West
Pomt, but was rejected for weak
eyesight.
Harry decided to make his fortune in nearby Kansas City. After
a few years at small jobs - drug
clerk, bundle wrapper on the Kansas City Star, bank clerk, timekeep·
er on a railroad gang - he went
back to the family farm at his
grc:ndmother's invitation.
Went to War.
For the next few years working
the big farm took all Harry's time.
Then in 1917, he volunteered for the
army, and soon became a lieutenant of field artillery. While in training camp he organized a canteen
for the men, and took care of them
in many other ways. Later he rose
to a captaincy, and led his company in hard fighting in Saint Mihiel
c;.nd the Argonne campaigns. On
the boat home Harry was commissioned a major.
Soon after returning to Missouri,
he married his childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth (Bess) Wallace,
gr&lt;:nddaughter of the first mayor of
Independence, Mo. The ceremony
took place in the Episcopal church,
Mrs. Truman's sect.
In 1919 Truman decided to go into
business, so he entered partnership
with a man whom he met in army
Jifr, and established a haberdashery store in Kansas City. Harry
invested his entire fortune, amounting to about $15,000. At first the
business prospered but the sharp
recession of 1921 brought disaster,
Truman did not go into bankruptcy,
but chose to pay off his debts as
well as he could. In 1934, when
elected to the U . S. senate, he was
still meeting old bills.
Somewhat accidentally, he got
into politics. An army acquaintance
who was a nephew of Thomas Pendergast, then Democra tic leader in
Kansas City, suggested Harry Truman for some small position. The
astute Pendergast, discovering that
Truman was well known and liked,
had the backing of the American
Legion, and was anxious for a new
career, appointed him a road supervisor. In return Harry made occa-

sional speeches and assisted in party
organization work.
The young man's integrity
and energy were effective and
he was placed on the ticket for
county judge in Jackson county.
Truman won, and discharged his
duties well during his two-year
term, 1922-24. He was defeated
in his try for reelection, however, the only political setback
in his career. (The office of
county judge in Missouri corresponds to county superintendent
in other states.)
Truman studied law at night
during his term of office, and gained
admittance to the bar. Then in 1926
he was elected presiding judge of
Jackson county which includes Kansas City, and environs.
Handled 60 Million Dollars.
"I had charge of the spending of
$60,000,000 for highways and public
buildings," Truman said later.
"Nobody ever found anything wrong
with that, and it wasn't because
they didn't look, either. We built
more miles of paved roads in Jackson county than in any other county
in the country, with only two exceptions.''
Truman was repeatedly reelected
to this office until 1934. He had
sought the nomination for governor
in 1930, and for county collector in
1932, but party heads advised him
to wait a little longer. Then in 1934
came the big chance. Pendergast
put Truman on the ticket for the
U. S. senate. This was not such a
favor as it might seem, for Pendergast did not expect victory in that
year. By a peculiar stroke...of luck,
however, the opposition was divided
between two strong candidates, and
Truman's own popularity sufficed to
win him a seat in the august upper
house. During his first term Truman remained somewhat obscure,
making few speeches, and in general following the lead of Missouri's senior senator, Bennett
Clark.
With few exceptions, Senator Truman supported the party program.
He voted for the original agricultural adjustment act, the Wagner
labor act, social security, the Tennessee . valley authority, and the
joining of the World court. In his
second year he voted for the Florida
Ship canal and Passamaquoddy dam
project. The only measure he opposed was the President's veto of
the bonus payments.
In 1938 and '39 he supported
preparedness appropriations and
lend-lease. He was chairman of
a subcommittee that investigated railroad finance, leading
to the Transportation Act of
1940. His work in drafting the
Civil Aeronautics authority was
outstanding for thoroughness
and practicality.
In 1940, after squeaking through
the Democratic nomination battle
with only 7,000 votes to spare, he

Matching Materials
Important in Remodeling

Remodeling always involves the
problem of C"ombining colors which
go well together. Safe combinations
lie in the use of neutrals with soft
greyed tones; for example, a rich
warm dark brown may be used
with a soft greyed light blue, or
brown with beige, or grey with a
soft yellow like winter butter. Then
be sure the color combinations are
becoming to you. Remember that
the larger areas are usually more
becoming when soft greyed tones
are used.
Textures of materials in combinations are important considerations too. Be careful that these textures have qualities in commonsimilarity in weight, in texture or
in "feel"-unless it may be desirable to choose a texture entirely for
its contrnst value, such as a dull
crepe with satin or faille.
Be sure the colors fit in with the
general scheme that has been previously planned. One of the color
principles that might be emphasized for best results in an economical wardrobe is that of keeping our
background clothing - suits, coats,
basic dresses - within the more
somber color path. Then add accent
to these with brighter touches of
color.

China's Future
Farmers in the United ~totes
mctde up 72% of tlte wbole nation's
J:.vpul&lt;&gt;tHJII t.. ... ~k 111 1!!20. That \\8S
just half-way betwe ·n the invc•ntion
&lt;&gt;f the iron plow and the mechanica:
reaper for small grain C'lOps. Only
23'lc of our people live :.,11 Jarms
now. Chinu st11l has the "good old
days'' 1f you lil:e that kmd. Son e
80 '&lt; of hH people are farmers e\'Cn

yt•t.
If an American farmer's hired
man earned 50t' a day in 1820 he
had to be a guud one. The farmer
was not to blame. In order to pay
better wages he h:-~d to get better
prices for what his hired man procluced, or man::~ge some way for the
wut k1:r to produce more. li:\•en then
both developments had begun. The
plow and the reaper improved farm
income and farm wages also.
Supply and Demand
Using improved machinery one
workman could do the work three
had done with crude tools, so two
out of three farm hands eventually
quit the farm. Some of them went
to work at transportation, taking
lurm products to cities where there
were quick markets. Others got jobs
in factories making desirable things
to sell to the farmers who, by this
time, had quite a little money to
spend.
The two farm workers out of three
who left the farm did not quit using
farm
products.
Wherever they
worked they bought and consumed
farm produce, also made more profitable work for people in transportation. This is a simple outline of
the growth of Amel"ican prosperity,
and it is a rough sketch of what
must take place in China, starting
after the war, if China is to prosper.
A Unification Plan
High-brow students of political
economy talk about "social, political
and economic unification of China."
Tho e are 35-cent words, trying to
say that China is all broken up and
n~eds to be made one. Nothmg that
is broken can be welded again until
the pieces are brought close together. China's dismembered parts need
to be brought close together; close
in time; close in spirit.
China already has everything
needed to live well; livestock and
grain, limber and fiber, coal and oil,
Jron and copper. China has supply
and demand also-450 m1llion people
anxious to earn more and live better. One trouble is, there are 360
million farmers when 12 million
with good tools would be enough.
There is much other work to do:
ore to mine, timber to cut, roads
to build.

Hidden Treasures
Roads will bring the empire's farflung segments near in time. Business dealings will create mutual
confidence and make China's remote
tribes close in spirit.
There is
money in the Orient-most of it hidden, but it's there. More, much
more will come from other lands
as soon as investors learn of the
empire's rich resources and great
markets. Only fear of robbery and
fraud can keep it away.
These fears can be removed by a
strong central government, able to
maintain order and security for investment at home, and able to command the respect of other world
powers. Chiang Kai-Shek has promised these things for postwar years
and rebel rulers already are learning to trust him and work with !tim.
The United States should help him,
for China is America's natural ally
m the East, for mutual profit in
time of peace and mutual protection in time of war.
Cabbage Vitamins
Cabbage is a vitamin-r ch vege·
table, according to the U. S. de·
partment of agriculture, but the
best leaves rarely reach the table,
or even the store or kitchen. The six
wrapper leaves-the flaring outside
ones that are commonly stripped
from the heads before marketing
-have been found to produce the
greatest quantity of the three principal vitamins found in cabbage, vitamin C and vitamins B-1 and B-2.
The vegetable contains approximately a thousand qmes as much
vitamin
as it does of the other
two. It is pointed out that cabbage
as a vitamin source has often suffered in comparison with such leafy
vegetables of its own family as kale
and turn;ps, but the wr::tpper lea\•es
which correspond to the large leaves
of turnips and kale, produce just as
much of all three \'itamins as the
Inure cotnn1on g1, ens, ore\ en more.

c

Make Shoes La$t
Want to stretch the m.leage you
get from those shoes? Keep shoes
clean and sa\·e le::,ther. Some·
times soap and water doer;; the trick
-lots of soap but just as little water
as possible. Use saddle. castile or a
mild soap. Dip the brush or wnng
cloth in tepid water. rub on soap
to produce rich lather and go to
work. Don't rinse. In!'tc&gt;ncl. wipe off
lather with a soft clE'an clot!--. Wait
until leather is dry, then go ahead
with your regular cleaner or polish. Despotting cloth shoe&gt;' ;s comparativE'ly simple. Just flick out with
garment dry cle:mer. Oil a~d grease
spots on leather are hmder. often
impossible to relllO\'C'. r:[ \ e i• done

Conference Irons Out
World Air Problems

NEW LEADER:
Historic Task
Dying even as American military
leaders saw an early end to the European war, with the intricate problems of peace lying ahead, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt lett
to successor Harry S. Truman one
of the most momentous jobs ever
confronting a statesman.
Oddly enough, Mr. Roosevelt himself entered the office 13 years before under highly
critical circumstances, with the
nation's business
and agriculture in
stagnation and its
finances on the
verge of collapse.
Still comparatively
new to {l'.e American people,
Mr.
Roosevelt won their
Mr. Roosevelt
immediate confidence during the
first 100 days of his administration
with measures designed to reestablish the tottering economy of the
country.
Then, Mr. Roosevelt made perhaps his most famous statement of
all: "The only thing we have to
tear is fear."

World Problems

est concern would seem to be not the
establishment of emergency measures to tide the nation over the reconversion period but rather the development of a program to achieve
Mr. Roosevelt's own goal of 60,000,000 jobs.
In recently explaining his political
philosophy, President Truman said
that, like his native state of Missouri, he was a little bit left of center, but that the cooperative effort
of all elements of American life was
necessary for the shaping of a prosperous economy.
Though comparatively unknown
before assuming direction of the
senate war investigating committee,
President Truman soon earned the
respect of both his colleagues and
the country for his forthright and
couragE;ous leadership of the group
in constructively criticizing the rearmament program with a view of
increasing its over-all efficiency.
In this respect, the so-called Truman committee was quick to point
out such material shortages as aluminum, rubber, zinc, lead and steel,
and also revealed the nature of
pressing manpower problems.

Staff Chiefs at Helm
An artillery captain himself at 33
during the last war, President Truman, like Mr. Roosevelt, is expected to leave the conduct of the war
largely to the American chiefs of
staff, who have already marshalled
the country's great striking power
for the knockout of both Germany
and Japan.
Reeling under the force of U. S.
and British power thrusts from the
west, and Russian pressure from the
east, Germany's days appeared
numbered, with Allied military leaders mainly expecting guerrilla warfare after the collapse of integrated
Nazi resistance.
In conformity with long-rumored
Nazi plans for a last surcidal stand in
the Alpine fastnesses of southern
Germany, the enemy continued to
put up his strongest resistance south
of the river Main, where the U. S.
7th army's advance was slowed.
Fart~er to the east, however, the
Russ1ans drove beyond Vienna to
threaten the Austrian gateway to
Adolf Hitler's last mountain stronghold.

Greatest immediate task facing
President Truman is the San Francisco peace conference, scheduled to
go on despite the death of Mr.
Roosevelt, who worked for its successful culmination to achieve his
dream of an international cooperative organization to prevent future
disastrous wars.
Though the groundwork for the
San Francisco parley had been laid
at the Dumbarton Oaks conferences,
at Washington, D. C., new problems
had arisen since to command the
full resources of American statesmanship. Over and above the proposal of granting Russia three votes
on the permanent security council to
match Britain's six, there remained
the touchy proposition of allowing
representation to a Polish government not dominated by any large
power and acceptable to all.
Along with the San Francisco parley for creating an international
peace organization, the new President also was confronted with han- PACIFIC:

WHOLE BLOOD
Whole blood, one of the greatest
single factors in saving the lives of
wounded soldiers, is being flown to
Europe under a new system of refrigeration which prolongs the life of
this fluid by about one-third.
Under the pre~ent system whole
blood is suitable for transfusions for
a period of about 16 days, but under
the new plan it will last for 21 days.
Expendable iced containers have
been developed to keep the whole
blood at the right temperature.

Hold Your Own
Keep a tight grip on your pocketbook and a sharp eye on your
wallet, for purse-snatching and
pocket-picking are showing a
pronounced popularity among
crimes, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The increase in thefts of this
character is la id to the tendency
of prosperous war-workers to
carry large sums of money about
with them.

creases to 15 per cent above the
January, 1941, level, the agreement
calls for time and a half for insiqe
day workers over seven hours and
a rate of $1.50 for underground
travel time; boosts of from $1.07
to $1.20 a day for outside employees,
loaders and electricians; 4 cents an
hour more for workers on the second shift, and 6 cents for those on
the third, and $75 pay instead of
vacations.
Having run the gamut of WLB
approval, the agreement still was
subject to OPA consideration, in
view of estimates tha t the wage concessions would add about 25 cents a
ton to the nation's fuel bill, or $150,000,000 annually.

RECONVERSION:
Make Preparations
With victory in Europe imminent, and with it a partial reconversion from wartime to peacetime
output, War Production board took
steps to permit industry to obtain
new machine tools for manufacture
of civilian goods.
Biggest major item on WPB's
program was the grant of priorities
to the automobile industry for 50
million dolla1·s of machine tools and
related equipment for civilia n manufacture. To take from three to seven
months for making, the orders were
placed las t fall without priority rating, then dumped when early !-tcpes
of victory faded and the war went
into 1945.
In permitting the placement of orders for machine tools and related
equipment for civilian manufacture,
the WPB is developing a plan
whereby s uch business would not interfere with the output of vital material needed for prosecution of the
war.

DISABLED WORKERS
Physically impaired workers produce as much as, or possibly a little
more than, able-bodied workers, and
they are dependable, regular in attenda nce and careful in observance
of safety regulations, medical officers report in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Only serious physical defects were
considered in selecting impaired
workers for the study and the majority have been placed in jobs by
matching their defects with the
physical demands of the job.

Benefiting from excellent weather
conditions, the nation's 1945 winter
wheat crop is expected to approximate an all-time 862,515,000 bushels,
about 37,000,000 bushels over the
previous 1931 top, the U. S. department of agriculture reported.
After fall ·moisture was generally
sufficient to get the crop off to a
good start, good snowfall provided
protection during the winter to hold
acreage losses to the lowest level
in 25 years. In most sections, the
ground was in condition to absorb
a large percentage of the moisture
from the melted snow and rain:;, the
USDA reported.
With th'e expected abandonment
lowest since 1919, indicated yield
of 17.4 bushels would be one bushel
above last year. As of April 1,
estimated stocks of wheat on farms

largest since 1927. Stocks approxi- ,

Having called for greater fall pig
production to help relieve the tight
meat situation, the government
sought to reassure farmers of future
returns by announcing a 50 cents
increase in the present $12.50 floor
or minimum price for all good and
choice hogs up to 270 pounds. At
the same time, the War Food administration said that neither support nor ceiling prices would be
trimmed before September, 1946.
Though the government's action
on floor prices was not expected
to affect current operations because of the relatively small supply
of hogs in face of the record demand, it was considered reassuring
in the prospect of greatly increasing marketing in the winter,
when the pressure on prices might
be strong.
With private sources estimating
that spring pig farrowing was up
12 per cent, the WFA called on
farmers to increase the fall crop by
18 per cent. Chiefly because of lower
hog production throughout the
first part of 1945, total meat output is
expected to drop some 10 per cent
below last year.

Some time after V-Day, when the
forces of the occupation are withdrawn and the world once more setties back to peace, the greatest international air transport system
which was ever built will largely
cease to be . That system, the Air
Transport Command of the U. S.
army, criss-crosses the western
hemisphere from Nome in Alaska to
Rk de Janeiro; from Iceland to
Panama City. It stretches eastward
across the Atlantic, laces Europe
and Africa, reaches India and then
swings around the globe by way of
Australia, through Honolulu to the
Pacific coast.
Over the ATC's more than a hundred and fifty landing fields, the
American ftag now flies. Big planes
travel the routes at the rate of 51
million miles a month, which is
equal to 70 trips around the world
at the equator every 24 hours.
From the flagpoles on most of
those bases. the Stars and Stripes
will be lowered after the world has
1 returned to peace. And strange as
I it may seem, the thing that worries
the friends o! commercial aviation
most is not so much whether Old
Glory flies free over those bases,
as whether the air over them and
the rest of the world is free to the
extent that American planes will
have access to those and other bases
th
1b
over

We have achieved freedom of the
1 seas.
Why can't we have freedom
of the air too?
I carried th~t question right into
· the Pentagon building to the office
of one of the AAF officers whose
job includes worrying over that important question.
He is William
Mitchell, lieutenant colonel, United
States army air force, assistant executive to the assistant secretary of
war for air. This was his answer
(Colonel Mitchell made it clear that
he was' expressing his personal
vic·w,; and was not speaking for the
war department, but he stated that
his opinions were shared by many
other members of the air staff) :
I "Conflicts over artificial barriers
on intercourse by sea," he said,
"used to be a fertile breeding ground
for wars. But for 200 years vessels
of any nation have been able to travel the oceans in peacetime without
intern a tiona! supervision, and as a
result, this source of international
conflict has disappeared ."
I If he had stopped there I might
have left his office feeling quite reassured. But that was only the begir·,ning.

The analogy between freedom of
the sea and freedom of the air, it
seems, is an attractive one but it
won't hold water.
"An airplane does not merely
touch the coast of a country," the
colonel explained, "it may penetrate
into the remotest interior.
AcI1 cordingly it has become fairly well
established that a nation has jurisdiction over the airspace above its
la nd to the same extent that it has
I jurisdiction over the land itself. The
result is that, in the absence of
1 agreement between countries, no
plane may cross a foreign border.
The air is not free, it is closed."
American ambition doesn't lil'e to
be fenced in and already we have
mapped a pattern of air routes we'd
like to establish when peace comes.
Those routes will encircle the globe.
Our own civil aeronautics board is
in the process of holding hearings
to determine which carriers will be
1 certified to fly these routes.
But the certificates issued, says
Colonel Mitchell, "will be mere
scraps of paper unless other countries consent to operations by United States carriers."
I Arrival a t such common consent
is in the making today, and has been

va.•ion.
Amgot, as you know, stood for Allied
Military Government Occupied Territory.
The authorities decided, shortly after the
ha(Jpeniags of this story, thnt the word
Amgot lwd an ugly Germanic sound, and
they hPnrd that the two syllables of the
u;ord, when taken separately, were Turkish
words unmentionable in translation.. So
tht'y decidPd to call it A.M.G. and forget
about the OccU(&gt;ied Territory.
That was later, though. When I /mew
him, Major }oppolo was Amgot officer of
Adana, and he u:us good.
There were probably 11ot any really bad
meu in Amgot, but there were some stupid
o11es (and still are, even though the Turkish
embarrassment has been take" care of).
You see, the theories about administerirtg
occupied territories all wrned out to be
just theoril's, and in fact the tiring which
determined whether we Americans would
be mccessful in thae toughe.•t of all jobs
was nothing more or less than the quality
of the men who did the administering.
That is why 1 think ir is important for
you to kllow about Major }oppolo. He wa~
a good man, though weak in certain attractive, human ways, and what he did u.lld
what he was not able to do in Adana rep·
resented in miniature what America can
and camtot do in Europe. Since he hapfJened to bP a good man, his works repre·
sented the best of the possibilities.
America is the intemutional country.

The Major said: "Maybe, but you
will be the same when you get to
Hungary."
"Never, not me."
The Major looked toward the town
and said: "Do you think it's safe
now?"
Borth said: "Why not?"
"Then how do we go?"
Borth unfolded a map case deliberately. He put a freckled finger
on the celluloid cover and said:
"Here, by the Via Barrino as far as
the Via of October Twenty-eight,
and the Piazza is at the top of the
Via of October Twenty-eight."
"October Twenty-eight," the Major said, "what is that, October
Twenty-eight?"
"That's the date of Mussolini's
march on Rome, in 1922," Borth
said. "It is the day when Mussolini thinks he began to be a big
shot." Borth was very good at memory.
They started walking. The Major said: "1 have lost all count, so

"July tenth."
"We will call it the Via of July

Invasion had come to the town of
Adano.
An American corporal ran tautly
along the dirty Via Favemi and at
the corner he threw himself down.
He made certain arrangements with
his light machine gun and then
turned and beckoned to his friends
to come forward.
In the Via Calabria, in another
part of town, a party of three crept
forward like cats. An explosion, possibly of a mortar shell, at some distance to the north but apparently
inside the town, caused them to fall
fiat with a splash of dust. They
waited on their bellies to see what
would happen.
·, An entire platoon ducked from
grave to grave in the Capucin Cemetery high on the hill overlooking
town. The entire platoon was
scared. They were out of touch with
their unit. They did not know the
situation. They were near their objective, which was the rocky crest
not far off, but they wanted to find
out what was going on in the town
before they moved on.
All through the town of Adano,
Americans were like this. They
were not getting much resistance,
but it was their first day of invasion, and they were tight in their
muscles.
But at one of the sulphur loading
jetties at the port a Major with a
brief case under his arm stepped
from the sliding gangway of LCI
No. 9488, and he seemed to be wholly calm.
"Borth," he said to the sergeant
who followed him onto the jetty,
"this is like coming home, how often
I have dreamed this." And he bent
over and touched the palm of his
hand to the jetty, then dusted his
palm off on his woolen pants.
This man was Major Victor Joppolo, who had been named senior
civil affatrs officer of the town of
Adano, representing Amgot. He was
a man of medium height, with the
dark skin of his parents, who were
Italians from near Florence. He
had a mustache. His face was
round and his cheeks seemed cheerful but his eyes were intense and
serious. He was about thirty-five.
The sergeant with him was Leonard Borth, an M.P., who was to be
in charge of matters of security in
Adano: he was to help weed out the
bad Italians and make use of the
good ones. Borth had volunteered
to be the first to go into the town
with the Major. Borth had no fear;
he cared about nothing. He was of
Hungarian parentage, and he had
lived many places-in Budap!"st,
where he had taken pre-medical
studies, in Rome, where he had
been a correspondent for Pester
Lloyd, in Vienna, where he had
worked in s travel agency, in Marseille, where he had been secretary
to a rich exporter, in Boston, where
he had be,en a reporter for the Herald, and in San Francisco, where he
sold radios. Still he was less than
thirty. He was an American citizen
and an enlisted man by choice. To
him the whole war was a cynical
joke, and he considered his job in
the war to make people take themselves less seriously.
When the Major touched Italian

sentimental and have too damn
much conscience."
"Cut the kidding," the Major said.
There was an echo in the way he
said it, as if he were a boy having
been called wop by others in school.
In spite of the gold maple leaf of
rank on the collar, there was an
echo.
At the corner of the third alley
running off the Via of October Twenty-eight, the two men came on a
dead Italian woman. She had been
dressed in black. Her right leg was
blown off and the flies for some reason preferred the dark sticky pool of
blood and dust to her stump.
"Awful," the Major said, for although the blood was not yet dry,
nevertheless there was already a
beginning of a sweet but vomitous
odor. "It's a hell of a note," he
said, "that we had to do that to our
friends."
"Friends," said Borth, "that's a
laugh."
"It wasn't them, not the ones like
her," the Major said. "They weren't
our enemies. My mother's mother
must have been like her. It wasn't
the poor ones like her, it was the
bunch up there where we're going,
those crooks in the City Hall."
"Be careful," Borth said, and his
face showed that he was teasing the
Major again. "You're going to have
your office in the City Hall. Be
careful you don't get to be a crook

too."
"Lay off," the Major said.
Borth said: "I don't trust your
conscience, sir, I'm appointing myself assistant conscience."
"Lay off," the Major said, and
there was that echo.
Borth said: "Maybe it was a
crook's house, how can you tell?
Better forget the house and concern
yourself with that." He pointed into
an alley at some straw and melon
seeds and old chicken guts and flies.
And Borth added: "No question of
guilty or not guilty there, Major.
Just something to get clean. You've
got some business in that alley, not
in that house there."
"I know my business, I know what
I want to do, I know what it's like
to be poor, Borth."
Borth was silent. He found the
seriousness of this Major J oppolo
something hard to penetrate.

They came in time to the town's
main square, which was called Piazza Progresso. And on that square
they saw the building they were
looking for.
There was a clock tower on the
left hand front corner. On top of
the tower there was a metal frame
which must have been designed to
hold a bell. It was baroque and
looked very old. But there was no
bell.
On the side of the clock tower big
white letters said: "II Popolo Italiano ha creata col suo sangue l'Impero, lo fecondcra col sua lavoro e
lo difendera contra chiunque colle
sue armi."
The Major pointed and said: "See,
Borth, even after our invasion it
says: 'The Italian people built the
Empire with their blood, will make
it fruitful with their work and wiU
defend it against anyone with their
arms.' "
Borth said: "I know you can read
Italian. So can I. Don't translate
for Borth."
The Major said: "I know, but
think of how that sounds today."
Borth said: "It sounds silly,
sure."
The Major said: "If they had seen
any fruit of their work, they would
have fought with their arms. I bet
we could teach them to want to defend what they have. I want to do
so much here, Borth."
Borth said: "That sounds silly
too. Remember the alley, clean up
the alleyway, sir, it is the alley that
you ought to concentrate on."
The Major walked across the Piazza up to the big black door of the
Palazzo, put his brief case down,
took a piece of chalk out of his
pocket, and wrote on a panel of the
door:
"Victor J.oppolo,
Major,
U.S.A., AMGOT, Town of Adano."
Then both men went inside and
up some m.arble stairs, looking all
around them as they climbed. They
took a turn and went through a
door marked Podesta. The office on
the other side of that door took Victor Joppolo's breath away.
In the first place, it was so very
big. It must have been seventy
feet long and thirty feet wide. The
ceiling was high, and the floor was
marble.
"Say," said Major J oppolo, "this
Is okay."
"Looks like that office of Mussolini's," Borth said. "Come to think
of it, you look quite a lot like Mussolini, sir, except the mustache. Will
it be okay with you to be a Mussolini ?''
"Cut tpe kidding," the Major said.
"Let's look around."
They went out through the white
door at the end of the room and
walked through several offices, all
of which were crowded with desks
and files and bookcases. The files
had not been emptied or even disturbed. "Good," said Borth, "lists
of names, every one registered and
all their records. It'll be easy for
us here."
The Major ·said: "What a difference between my office and these
others. It is shameful."
All Borth said was: "Your office?"
When the two went back into the
big office there was an Italian there.
He had evidently been hiding in the
building. He was a small man, with
a shiny linen office coat on, with his
collar buttoned but no tie.
The small Itali:?-n gave the Fascist
salute and with av eager face said
in Italian: "Welcome to the Americans! Live Roose,•elt! How glad I
am that you ha~ e arrived. For
many years I have hated the Fascists."
The Major said in Italian: "Who
are you?"
The little man sai.i: "Zito Giuseppe. I have been well known as
anti-Fascist."
Major Joppolo said: "What do
you do?"
Zito said: "I greet the Ameri·
cans.''
Borth said in an Italian which
was heavily accented: "Idiot, what
was your job before the disembarkation?"
Zito said: "Zito Giovanni, usher
in the Palazzo di Citta, native of
Adano."
Major Joppolo said: "You were
the usher here?"
"Every day from eight to eight."
"Why did you work for the Fascists if you hated them?"
"I have hated them many years,
I am well known as anti-Fascist,
I have lived under a great suspi·
cion."
The Major said: "Usher, I love
the truth, you will find that out. It
you lie to me, you will be in very
serious- trouble. Do not lie to me.
If you were a Fascist, you were a
Fascist. There is no need to lie."
Zito said: "One had to eat, one
had to earn a living. I have six
children."
Major Joppolo said: "So you were
a Fascist. Now you will have to
learn to live in a democracy. You
will be my usher."
The little Zito was delighted.
The Major said: "Do not salute
me that way."
Zito bowed and said: "The fascist
salute, no sir."

That Beard Again
Now the beard comes into the picture once again. The beard got
Monty his first job in movies-a Russian impresario. But Walter Connolly-a fat man without a beard-continued to get the parts Monty had
his eye on.
Monty turned back to the theater
for solace. Was on the eve of returning to Broadway to direct another play when Moss Hart rang

role in a play called "Strange People," if I remember correctly. The
play turned out to be "The Man

These two invest an autumn love

"Why not?" shouts the veteran of
many bitterly fought artistic battles.
"All things being considered, a
beard covers almost any facial defect and in the long run makes its
wearer look younger. Yes, and feel
younger, too. So there!"

"There has been a fundamental

There is no limited objective now.
The objnctive is total victory. The
nearer we drive toward the enemy's

As we begin to go all out against

Harry Tru1nan's Ijife Story Proves Again
'Cabin-to-White House' Road Is Still Open
President Advanced
From County Offices
To Head of Nation
By Elliott Pine
Rcle&gt;•sed b:v Western Newspaper Union.

Forty years ago Harry Truman was plowing behind a mule
on a Missouri farm. Today he
is in the White House, in many
ways the most powerful man in
tlw world.
The new president was born in
Lamar, Mo., May 8, 1884. Four
yr·:1rs la1r&gt;r his p;nents, John Anderson and Martha Young Truman, returne d to Jackson county, 125 miles
north, which was the ancestral
hnmp of both. Harry grew up on the
600-acre family farm in Jackson
&lt;·mnnv near Grandview . His mother,
still alive at 92, remarked reminiscently last fall when he was elected
to the vice presidency:
"That boy could plow the straightest J ow of corn in the county. He
could sow wheat so there wouldn't
be a bare spot in the whole field.
He was a farmer who could do anything there was to do-just a little
bit better than anyone else."
During his grade and high school
days Harry distinguished himself
by his scholarship. He was an
omnivorous reader, an earnest student of everything. When he graduated in 1901, he hoped to go to college, but, although his father was
known as the "best horse and mule
traoer l1l the county," family
finances would not permit any more
education for the eager youth. He
won an appointment to West
Pomt, but was rejected for weak
eyesight.
Harry decided to make his fortune in nearby Kansas City. After
a few years at small jobs - drug
clerk, bundle wrapper on the Kansas City Star, bank clerk, timekeep·
er on a railroad gang - he went
back to the family farm at his
grc:ndmother's invitation.
Went to War.
For the next few years working
the big farm took all Harry's time.
Then in 1917, he volunteered for the
army, and soon became a lieutenant of field artillery. While in training camp he organized a canteen
for the men, and took care of them
in many other ways. Later he rose
to a captaincy, and led his company in hard fighting in Saint Mihiel
c;.nd the Argonne campaigns. On
the boat home Harry was commissioned a major.
Soon after returning to Missouri,
he married his childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth (Bess) Wallace,
gr&lt;:nddaughter of the first mayor of
Independence, Mo. The ceremony
took place in the Episcopal church,
Mrs. Truman's sect.
In 1919 Truman decided to go into
business, so he entered partnership
with a man whom he met in army
Jifr, and established a haberdashery store in Kansas City. Harry
invested his entire fortune, amounting to about $15,000. At first the
business prospered but the sharp
recession of 1921 brought disaster,
Truman did not go into bankruptcy,
but chose to pay off his debts as
well as he could. In 1934, when
elected to the U . S. senate, he was
still meeting old bills.
Somewhat accidentally, he got
into politics. An army acquaintance
who was a nephew of Thomas Pendergast, then Democra tic leader in
Kansas City, suggested Harry Truman for some small position. The
astute Pendergast, discovering that
Truman was well known and liked,
had the backing of the American
Legion, and was anxious for a new
career, appointed him a road supervisor. In return Harry made occa-

sional speeches and assisted in party
organization work.
The young man's integrity
and energy were effective and
he was placed on the ticket for
county judge in Jackson county.
Truman won, and discharged his
duties well during his two-year
term, 1922-24. He was defeated
in his try for reelection, however, the only political setback
in his career. (The office of
county judge in Missouri corresponds to county superintendent
in other states.)
Truman studied law at night
during his term of office, and gained
admittance to the bar. Then in 1926
he was elected presiding judge of
Jackson county which includes Kansas City, and environs.
Handled 60 Million Dollars.
"I had charge of the spending of
$60,000,000 for highways and public
buildings," Truman said later.
"Nobody ever found anything wrong
with that, and it wasn't because
they didn't look, either. We built
more miles of paved roads in Jackson county than in any other county
in the country, with only two exceptions.''
Truman was repeatedly reelected
to this office until 1934. He had
sought the nomination for governor
in 1930, and for county collector in
1932, but party heads advised him
to wait a little longer. Then in 1934
came the big chance. Pendergast
put Truman on the ticket for the
U. S. senate. This was not such a
favor as it might seem, for Pendergast did not expect victory in that
year. By a peculiar stroke...of luck,
however, the opposition was divided
between two strong candidates, and
Truman's own popularity sufficed to
win him a seat in the august upper
house. During his first term Truman remained somewhat obscure,
making few speeches, and in general following the lead of Missouri's senior senator, Bennett
Clark.
With few exceptions, Senator Truman supported the party program.
He voted for the original agricultural adjustment act, the Wagner
labor act, social security, the Tennessee . valley authority, and the
joining of the World court. In his
second year he voted for the Florida
Ship canal and Passamaquoddy dam
project. The only measure he opposed was the President's veto of
the bonus payments.
In 1938 and '39 he supported
preparedness appropriations and
lend-lease. He was chairman of
a subcommittee that investigated railroad finance, leading
to the Transportation Act of
1940. His work in drafting the
Civil Aeronautics authority was
outstanding for thoroughness
and practicality.
In 1940, after squeaking through
the Democratic nomination battle
with only 7,000 votes to spare, he

Matching Materials
Important in Remodeling

Remodeling always involves the
problem of C"ombining colors which
go well together. Safe combinations
lie in the use of neutrals with soft
greyed tones; for example, a rich
warm dark brown may be used
with a soft greyed light blue, or
brown with beige, or grey with a
soft yellow like winter butter. Then
be sure the color combinations are
becoming to you. Remember that
the larger areas are usually more
becoming when soft greyed tones
are used.
Textures of materials in combinations are important considerations too. Be careful that these textures have qualities in commonsimilarity in weight, in texture or
in "feel"-unless it may be desirable to choose a texture entirely for
its contrnst value, such as a dull
crepe with satin or faille.
Be sure the colors fit in with the
general scheme that has been previously planned. One of the color
principles that might be emphasized for best results in an economical wardrobe is that of keeping our
background clothing - suits, coats,
basic dresses - within the more
somber color path. Then add accent
to these with brighter touches of
color.

China's Future
Farmers in the United ~totes
mctde up 72% of tlte wbole nation's
J:.vpul&lt;&gt;tHJII t.. ... ~k 111 1!!20. That \\8S
just half-way betwe ·n the invc•ntion
&lt;&gt;f the iron plow and the mechanica:
reaper for small grain C'lOps. Only
23'lc of our people live :.,11 Jarms
now. Chinu st11l has the "good old
days'' 1f you lil:e that kmd. Son e
80 '&lt; of hH people are farmers e\'Cn

yt•t.
If an American farmer's hired
man earned 50t' a day in 1820 he
had to be a guud one. The farmer
was not to blame. In order to pay
better wages he h:-~d to get better
prices for what his hired man procluced, or man::~ge some way for the
wut k1:r to produce more. li:\•en then
both developments had begun. The
plow and the reaper improved farm
income and farm wages also.
Supply and Demand
Using improved machinery one
workman could do the work three
had done with crude tools, so two
out of three farm hands eventually
quit the farm. Some of them went
to work at transportation, taking
lurm products to cities where there
were quick markets. Others got jobs
in factories making desirable things
to sell to the farmers who, by this
time, had quite a little money to
spend.
The two farm workers out of three
who left the farm did not quit using
farm
products.
Wherever they
worked they bought and consumed
farm produce, also made more profitable work for people in transportation. This is a simple outline of
the growth of Amel"ican prosperity,
and it is a rough sketch of what
must take place in China, starting
after the war, if China is to prosper.
A Unification Plan
High-brow students of political
economy talk about "social, political
and economic unification of China."
Tho e are 35-cent words, trying to
say that China is all broken up and
n~eds to be made one. Nothmg that
is broken can be welded again until
the pieces are brought close together. China's dismembered parts need
to be brought close together; close
in time; close in spirit.
China already has everything
needed to live well; livestock and
grain, limber and fiber, coal and oil,
Jron and copper. China has supply
and demand also-450 m1llion people
anxious to earn more and live better. One trouble is, there are 360
million farmers when 12 million
with good tools would be enough.
There is much other work to do:
ore to mine, timber to cut, roads
to build.

Hidden Treasures
Roads will bring the empire's farflung segments near in time. Business dealings will create mutual
confidence and make China's remote
tribes close in spirit.
There is
money in the Orient-most of it hidden, but it's there. More, much
more will come from other lands
as soon as investors learn of the
empire's rich resources and great
markets. Only fear of robbery and
fraud can keep it away.
These fears can be removed by a
strong central government, able to
maintain order and security for investment at home, and able to command the respect of other world
powers. Chiang Kai-Shek has promised these things for postwar years
and rebel rulers already are learning to trust him and work with !tim.
The United States should help him,
for China is America's natural ally
m the East, for mutual profit in
time of peace and mutual protection in time of war.
Cabbage Vitamins
Cabbage is a vitamin-r ch vege·
table, according to the U. S. de·
partment of agriculture, but the
best leaves rarely reach the table,
or even the store or kitchen. The six
wrapper leaves-the flaring outside
ones that are commonly stripped
from the heads before marketing
-have been found to produce the
greatest quantity of the three principal vitamins found in cabbage, vitamin C and vitamins B-1 and B-2.
The vegetable contains approximately a thousand qmes as much
vitamin
as it does of the other
two. It is pointed out that cabbage
as a vitamin source has often suffered in comparison with such leafy
vegetables of its own family as kale
and turn;ps, but the wr::tpper lea\•es
which correspond to the large leaves
of turnips and kale, produce just as
much of all three \'itamins as the
Inure cotnn1on g1, ens, ore\ en more.

c

Make Shoes La$t
Want to stretch the m.leage you
get from those shoes? Keep shoes
clean and sa\·e le::,ther. Some·
times soap and water doer;; the trick
-lots of soap but just as little water
as possible. Use saddle. castile or a
mild soap. Dip the brush or wnng
cloth in tepid water. rub on soap
to produce rich lather and go to
work. Don't rinse. In!'tc&gt;ncl. wipe off
lather with a soft clE'an clot!--. Wait
until leather is dry, then go ahead
with your regular cleaner or polish. Despotting cloth shoe&gt;' ;s comparativE'ly simple. Just flick out with
garment dry cle:mer. Oil a~d grease
spots on leather are hmder. often
impossible to relllO\'C'. r:[ \ e i• done
at once, pro.fessiomllly.

first 100 days of his administration
with measures designed to reestablish the tottering economy of the
country.
Then, Mr. Roosevelt made perhaps his most famous statement of
all: "The only thing we have to
tear is fear."

World Problems

est concern would seem to be not the
establishment of emergency measures to tide the nation over the reconversion period but rather the development of a program to achieve
Mr. Roosevelt's own goal of 60,000,000 jobs.
In recently explaining his political
philosophy, President Truman said
that, like his native state of Missouri, he was a little bit left of center, but that the cooperative effort
of all elements of American life was
necessary for the shaping of a prosperous economy.
Though comparatively unknown
before assuming direction of the
senate war investigating committee,
President Truman soon earned the
respect of both his colleagues and
the country for his forthright and
couragE;ous leadership of the group
in constructively criticizing the rearmament program with a view of
increasing its over-all efficiency.
In this respect, the so-called Truman committee was quick to point
out such material shortages as aluminum, rubber, zinc, lead and steel,
and also revealed the nature of
pressing manpower problems.

Staff Chiefs at Helm
An artillery captain himself at 33
during the last war, President Truman, like Mr. Roosevelt, is expected to leave the conduct of the war
largely to the American chiefs of
staff, who have already marshalled
the country's great striking power
for the knockout of both Germany
and Japan.
Reeling under the force of U. S.
and British power thrusts from the
west, and Russian pressure from the
east, Germany's days appeared
numbered, with Allied military leaders mainly expecting guerrilla warfare after the collapse of integrated
Nazi resistance.
In conformity with long-rumored
Nazi plans for a last surcidal stand in
the Alpine fastnesses of southern
Germany, the enemy continued to
put up his strongest resistance south
of the river Main, where the U. S.
7th army's advance was slowed.
Fart~er to the east, however, the
Russ1ans drove beyond Vienna to
threaten the Austrian gateway to
Adolf Hitler's last mountain stronghold.

Greatest immediate task facing
President Truman is the San Francisco peace conference, scheduled to
go on despite the death of Mr.
Roosevelt, who worked for its successful culmination to achieve his
dream of an international cooperative organization to prevent future
disastrous wars.
Though the groundwork for the
San Francisco parley had been laid
at the Dumbarton Oaks conferences,
at Washington, D. C., new problems
had arisen since to command the
full resources of American statesmanship. Over and above the proposal of granting Russia three votes
on the permanent security council to
match Britain's six, there remained
the touchy proposition of allowing
representation to a Polish government not dominated by any large
power and acceptable to all.
Along with the San Francisco parley for creating an international
peace organization, the new President also was confronted with han- PACIFIC:

WHOLE BLOOD
Whole blood, one of the greatest
single factors in saving the lives of
wounded soldiers, is being flown to
Europe under a new system of refrigeration which prolongs the life of
this fluid by about one-third.
Under the pre~ent system whole
blood is suitable for transfusions for
a period of about 16 days, but under
the new plan it will last for 21 days.
Expendable iced containers have
been developed to keep the whole
blood at the right temperature.

Hold Your Own
Keep a tight grip on your pocketbook and a sharp eye on your
wallet, for purse-snatching and
pocket-picking are showing a
pronounced popularity among
crimes, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The increase in thefts of this
character is la id to the tendency
of prosperous war-workers to
carry large sums of money about
with them.

creases to 15 per cent above the

calls for time and a half for insiqe
day workers over seven hours and
a rate of $1.50 for underground
travel time; boosts of from $1.07
to $1.20 a day for outside employees,
loaders and electricians; 4 cents an
hour more for workers on the second shift, and 6 cents for those on
the third, and $75 pay instead of

Having run the gamut of WLB
approval, the agreement still was
subject to OPA consideration, in
view of estimates tha t the wage concessions would add about 25 cents a
ton to the nation's fuel bill, or $150,000,000 annually.

RECONVERSION:
Make Preparations
With victory in Europe imminent, and with it a partial reconversion from wartime to peacetime
output, War Production board took
steps to permit industry to obtain
new machine tools for manufacture
of civilian goods.
Biggest major item on WPB's
program was the grant of priorities
to the automobile industry for 50
million dolla1·s of machine tools and
related equipment for civilia n manufacture. To take from three to seven
months for making, the orders were
placed las t fall without priority rating, then dumped when early !-tcpes
of victory faded and the war went
into 1945.
In permitting the placement of orders for machine tools and related
equipment for civilian manufacture,
the WPB is developing a plan
whereby s uch business would not interfere with the output of vital material needed for prosecution of the
war.

DISABLED WORKERS
Physically impaired workers produce as much as, or possibly a little
more than, able-bodied workers, and
they are dependable, regular in attenda nce and careful in observance
of safety regulations, medical officers report in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Only serious physical defects were
considered in selecting impaired
workers for the study and the majority have been placed in jobs by
matching their defects with the
physical demands of the job.

Benefiting from excellent weather
conditions, the nation's 1945 winter
wheat crop is expected to approximate an all-time 862,515,000 bushels,
about 37,000,000 bushels over the
previous 1931 top, the U. S. department of agriculture reported.
After fall ·moisture was generally
sufficient to get the crop off to a

protection during the winter to hold
acreage losses to the lowest level
in 25 years. In most sections, the

from the melted snow and rain:;, the
USDA reported.

Having called for greater fall pig
production to help relieve the tight
meat situation, the government
sought to reassure farmers of future
returns by announcing a 50 cents
increase in the present $12.50 floor
or minimum price for all good and
choice hogs up to 270 pounds. At
the same time, the War Food administration said that neither support nor ceiling prices would be
trimmed before September, 1946.
Though the government's action
on floor prices was not expected
to affect current operations because of the relatively small supply
of hogs in face of the record demand, it was considered reassuring
in the prospect of greatly increasing marketing in the winter,
when the pressure on prices might
be strong.
With private sources estimating
that spring pig farrowing was up
12 per cent, the WFA called on
farmers to increase the fall crop by
18 per cent. Chiefly because of lower
hog production throughout the
first part of 1945, total meat output is
expected to drop some 10 per cent
below last year.

Some time after V-Day, when the
forces of the occupation are withdrawn and the world once more setties back to peace, the greatest international air transport system
which was ever built will largely
cease to be . That system, the Air
Transport Command of the U. S.
army, criss-crosses the western
hemisphere from Nome in Alaska to
Rk de Janeiro; from Iceland to
Panama City. It stretches eastward
across the Atlantic, laces Europe
and Africa, reaches India and then
swings around the globe by way of
Australia, through Honolulu to the
Pacific coast.
Over the ATC's more than a hundred and fifty landing fields, the
American ftag now flies. Big planes
travel the routes at the rate of 51
million miles a month, which is
equal to 70 trips around the world
at the equator every 24 hours.
From the flagpoles on most of
those bases. the Stars and Stripes
will be lowered after the world has
1 returned to peace. And strange as
I it may seem, the thing that worries
the friends o! commercial aviation
most is not so much whether Old
Glory flies free over those bases,
as whether the air over them and
the rest of the world is free to the
extent that American planes will
have access to those and other bases

We have achieved freedom of the

Why can't we have freedom
of the air too?
I carried th~t question right into
· the Pentagon building to the office
of one of the AAF officers whose
job includes worrying over that important question.
He is William
Mitchell, lieutenant colonel, United
States army air force, assistant executive to the assistant secretary of
war for air. This was his answer
(Colonel Mitchell made it clear that
he was' expressing his personal
vic·w,; and was not speaking for the
war department, but he stated that
his opinions were shared by many
other members of the air staff) :
I "Conflicts over artificial barriers
on intercourse by sea," he said,
"used to be a fertile breeding ground
for wars. But for 200 years vessels
of any nation have been able to travel the oceans in peacetime without
intern a tiona! supervision, and as a
result, this source of international
conflict has disappeared ."
I If he had stopped there I might
have left his office feeling quite reassured. But that was only the begir·,ning.

The analogy between freedom of
the sea and freedom of the air, it
seems, is an attractive one but it
won't hold water.
"An airplane does not merely
touch the coast of a country," the
colonel explained, "it may penetrate
into the remotest interior.
AcI1 cordingly it has become fairly well
established that a nation has jurisdiction over the airspace above its
la nd to the same extent that it has
I jurisdiction over the land itself. The
result is that, in the absence of
1 agreement between countries, no
plane may cross a foreign border.
The air is not free, it is closed."
American ambition doesn't lil'e to
be fenced in and already we have
mapped a pattern of air routes we'd
like to establish when peace comes.
Those routes will encircle the globe.
Our own civil aeronautics board is
in the process of holding hearings
to determine which carriers will be
1 certified to fly these routes.
But the certificates issued, says
Colonel Mitchell, "will be mere
scraps of paper unless other countries consent to operations by United States carriers."

is in the making today, and has been

He wa.• r.he Amgot officer of a s1rn1ll
Italian town called Aduno. He was more
or le.&lt;~ the American mayor after our in·
va.•ion.
Amgot, as you know, stood for Allied
Military Government Occupied Territory.
The authorities decided, shortly after the
ha(Jpeniags of this story, thnt the word
Amgot lwd an ugly Germanic sound, and
they hPnrd that the two syllables of the
u;ord, when taken separately, were Turkish
words unmentionable in translation.. So
tht'y decidPd to call it A.M.G. and forget
about the OccU(&gt;ied Territory.
That was later, though. When I /mew
him, Major }oppolo was Amgot officer of
Adana, and he u:us good.
There were probably 11ot any really bad
meu in Amgot, but there were some stupid
o11es (and still are, even though the Turkish
embarrassment has been take" care of).
You see, the theories about administerirtg
occupied territories all wrned out to be
just theoril's, and in fact the tiring which
determined whether we Americans would
be mccessful in thae toughe.•t of all jobs
was nothing more or less than the quality
of the men who did the administering.
That is why 1 think ir is important for
you to kllow about Major }oppolo. He wa~
a good man, though weak in certain attractive, human ways, and what he did u.lld
what he was not able to do in Adana rep·
resented in miniature what America can
and camtot do in Europe. Since he hapfJened to bP a good man, his works repre·
sented the best of the possibilities.
America is the intemutional country.

soil, Borth said: "You are too sentimental."
The Major said: "Maybe, but you
will be the same when you get to
Hungary."
"Never, not me."
The Major looked toward the town
and said: "Do you think it's safe
now?"
Borth said: "Why not?"
"Then how do we go?"
Borth unfolded a map case deliberately. He put a freckled finger
on the celluloid cover and said:
"Here, by the Via Barrino as far as
the Via of October Twenty-eight,
and the Piazza is at the top of the
Via of October Twenty-eight."
"October Twenty-eight," the Major said, "what is that, October
Twenty-eight?"
"That's the date of Mussolini's
march on Rome, in 1922," Borth
said. "It is the day when Mussolini thinks he began to be a big
shot." Borth was very good at memory.
They started walking. The Major said: "1 have lost all count, so
what is today?"
"July tenth."
"We will call it the Via of July
Ten."

Invasion had come to the town of
Adano.
An American corporal ran tautly
along the dirty Via Favemi and at
the corner he threw himself down.
He made certain arrangements with
his light machine gun and then
turned and beckoned to his friends
to come forward.
In the Via Calabria, in another
part of town, a party of three crept
forward like cats. An explosion, possibly of a mortar shell, at some distance to the north but apparently
inside the town, caused them to fall
fiat with a splash of dust. They
waited on their bellies to see what
would happen.
·, An entire platoon ducked from
grave to grave in the Capucin Cemetery high on the hill overlooking
town. The entire platoon was
scared. They were out of touch with
their unit. They did not know the
situation. They were near their objective, which was the rocky crest
not far off, but they wanted to find
out what was going on in the town
before they moved on.
All through the town of Adano,
Americans were like this. They
were not getting much resistance,
but it was their first day of invasion, and they were tight in their
muscles.
But at one of the sulphur loading
jetties at the port a Major with a
brief case under his arm stepped
from the sliding gangway of LCI
No. 9488, and he seemed to be wholly calm.
"Borth," he said to the sergeant
who followed him onto the jetty,
"this is like coming home, how often
I have dreamed this." And he bent
over and touched the palm of his
hand to the jetty, then dusted his
palm off on his woolen pants.
This man was Major Victor Joppolo, who had been named senior
civil affatrs officer of the town of
Adano, representing Amgot. He was
a man of medium height, with the
dark skin of his parents, who were
Italians from near Florence. He
had a mustache. His face was
round and his cheeks seemed cheerful but his eyes were intense and
serious. He was about thirty-five.
The sergeant with him was Leonard Borth, an M.P., who was to be
in charge of matters of security in
Adano: he was to help weed out the
bad Italians and make use of the
good ones. Borth had volunteered
to be the first to go into the town
with the Major. Borth had no fear;
he cared about nothing. He was of
Hungarian parentage, and he had
lived many places-in Budap!"st,
where he had taken pre-medical
studies, in Rome, where he had
been a correspondent for Pester
Lloyd, in Vienna, where he had
worked in s travel agency, in Marseille, where he had been secretary
to a rich exporter, in Boston, where
he had be,en a reporter for the Herald, and in San Francisco, where he
sold radios. Still he was less than
thirty. He was an American citizen
and an enlisted man by choice. To
him the whole war was a cynical
joke, and he considered his job in
the war to make people take themselves less seriously.
When the Major touched Italian

sentimental and have too damn
much conscience."
"Cut the kidding," the Major said.
There was an echo in the way he
said it, as if he were a boy having
been called wop by others in school.
In spite of the gold maple leaf of
rank on the collar, there was an
echo.
At the corner of the third alley
running off the Via of October Twenty-eight, the two men came on a
dead Italian woman. She had been
dressed in black. Her right leg was
blown off and the flies for some reason preferred the dark sticky pool of
blood and dust to her stump.
"Awful," the Major said, for although the blood was not yet dry,
nevertheless there was already a
beginning of a sweet but vomitous
odor. "It's a hell of a note," he
said, "that we had to do that to our
friends."
"Friends," said Borth, "that's a
laugh."
"It wasn't them, not the ones like
her," the Major said. "They weren't
our enemies. My mother's mother
must have been like her. It wasn't
the poor ones like her, it was the
bunch up there where we're going,
those crooks in the City Hall."
"Be careful," Borth said, and his
face showed that he was teasing the
Major again. "You're going to have
your office in the City Hall. Be
careful you don't get to be a crook

too."
"Lay off," the Major said.
Borth said: "I don't trust your
conscience, sir, I'm appointing myself assistant conscience."
"Lay off," the Major said, and
there was that echo.
Borth said: "Maybe it was a
crook's house, how can you tell?
Better forget the house and concern
yourself with that." He pointed into
an alley at some straw and melon
seeds and old chicken guts and flies.
And Borth added: "No question of
guilty or not guilty there, Major.
Just something to get clean. You've
got some business in that alley, not
in that house there."
"I know my business, I know what
I want to do, I know what it's like
to be poor, Borth."
Borth was silent. He found the
seriousness of this Major J oppolo
something hard to penetrate.

They came in time to the town's
main square, which was called Piazza Progresso. And on that square
they saw the building they were
looking for.
There was a clock tower on the
left hand front corner. On top of
the tower there was a metal frame
which must have been designed to
hold a bell. It was baroque and
looked very old. But there was no
bell.
On the side of the clock tower big
white letters said: "II Popolo Italiano ha creata col suo sangue l'Impero, lo fecondcra col sua lavoro e
lo difendera contra chiunque colle
sue armi."
The Major pointed and said: "See,
Borth, even after our invasion it
says: 'The Italian people built the
Empire with their blood, will make
it fruitful with their work and wiU
defend it against anyone with their
arms.' "
Borth said: "I know you can read
Italian. So can I. Don't translate
for Borth."
The Major said: "I know, but
think of how that sounds today."
Borth said: "It sounds silly,
sure."
The Major said: "If they had seen
any fruit of their work, they would
have fought with their arms. I bet
we could teach them to want to defend what they have. I want to do
so much here, Borth."
Borth said: "That sounds silly
too. Remember the alley, clean up
the alleyway, sir, it is the alley that
you ought to concentrate on."
The Major walked across the Piazza up to the big black door of the
Palazzo, put his brief case down,
took a piece of chalk out of his
pocket, and wrote on a panel of the
door:
"Victor J.oppolo,
Major,
U.S.A., AMGOT, Town of Adano."
Then both men went inside and
up some m.arble stairs, looking all
around them as they climbed. They
took a turn and went through a
door marked Podesta. The office on
the other side of that door took Victor Joppolo's breath away.
In the first place, it was so very
big. It must have been seventy
feet long and thirty feet wide. The
ceiling was high, and the floor was
marble.
"Say," said Major J oppolo, "this
Is okay."
"Looks like that office of Mussolini's," Borth said. "Come to think
of it, you look quite a lot like Mussolini, sir, except the mustache. Will
it be okay with you to be a Mussolini ?''
"Cut tpe kidding," the Major said.
"Let's look around."
They went out through the white
door at the end of the room and
walked through several offices, all
of which were crowded with desks
and files and bookcases. The files
had not been emptied or even disturbed. "Good," said Borth, "lists
of names, every one registered and
all their records. It'll be easy for
us here."
The Major ·said: "What a difference between my office and these
others. It is shameful."
All Borth said was: "Your office?"
When the two went back into the
big office there was an Italian there.
He had evidently been hiding in the
building. He was a small man, with
a shiny linen office coat on, with his
collar buttoned but no tie.
The small Itali:?-n gave the Fascist
salute and with av eager face said
in Italian: "Welcome to the Americans! Live Roose,•elt! How glad I
am that you ha~ e arrived. For
many years I have hated the Fascists."
The Major said in Italian: "Who
are you?"
The little man sai.i: "Zito Giuseppe. I have been well known as
anti-Fascist."
Major Joppolo said: "What do
you do?"
Zito said: "I greet the Ameri·
cans.''
Borth said in an Italian which
was heavily accented: "Idiot, what
was your job before the disembarkation?"
Zito said: "Zito Giovanni, usher
in the Palazzo di Citta, native of
Adano."
Major Joppolo said: "You were
the usher here?"
"Every day from eight to eight."
"Why did you work for the Fascists if you hated them?"
"I have hated them many years,
I am well known as anti-Fascist,
I have lived under a great suspi·
cion."
The Major said: "Usher, I love
the truth, you will find that out. It
you lie to me, you will be in very
serious- trouble. Do not lie to me.
If you were a Fascist, you were a
Fascist. There is no need to lie."
Zito said: "One had to eat, one
had to earn a living. I have six
children."
Major Joppolo said: "So you were
a Fascist. Now you will have to
learn to live in a democracy. You
will be my usher."
The little Zito was delighted.
The Major said: "Do not salute
me that way."
Zito bowed and said: "The fascist
salute, no sir."

That Beard Again
Now the beard comes into the picture once again. The beard got
Monty his first job in movies-a Russian impresario. But Walter Connolly-a fat man without a beard-continued to get the parts Monty had
his eye on.
Monty turned back to the theater
for solace. Was on the eve of returning to Broadway to direct another play when Moss Hart rang
him, asking him to play the lead
role in a play called "Strange People," if I remember correctly. The
play turned out to be "The Man
Who Came to Dinner." It put the
Beard right in the bead of the spotlight. Hollywood didn't see him
again until Warners determined to
make the picture with Bette Davis.
But Bette demanded him and got
him. Then 20th Century got Monty
for "The Pied Piper," signed him
to a long-termer out of which came
a unique romantic team-the Gracie
Fields - Monty Woolley combination.
These two invest an autumn love
story with a sprig of spring.
"Why not?" shouts the veteran of
many bitterly fought artistic battles.
"All things being considered, a
beard covers almost any facial defect and in the long run makes its
wearer look younger. Yes, and feel
younger, too. So there!"

vVorld Peace Hopes Converge
On Conference in San Francisco
An Organization With
Responsibility, Power
Envisioned by Planners
By JOHN E. JONES

by Western Ncwspaoer Union.
Out of the Yalta conference of
the Big Three came the electrifying news that San Francisco had
been selected for the coming United
Nations conference - "We have
agreed," they said, "that a conference of United Nations should be
called to meet at San Francisco in
the United States on April 25,
1945, to prepore the charter of such
an organization, a long the line proposed in the informal conversations
at Dum barton Oaks."
Official announcement came to
San Francisco's Mayor Lapham
from Acting Secretary of State
Jo~eph C. Grew with the further advice that "Representatives of the
department of state will get in touch
with you in a day or so with regard
to necessary arrangements for the
conference.''
And so San Francisco, most
wes tern of our American cities,
founded in 1776, the same year as
our Declaration of Independence,
becomes the focal point of men's
hopes from all parts of the world
fo1· enduring peace. San Francisco,
the Golden Gate of the '49ers, becol'Y'es now the new Golden Gateway
to future security for all mankind.
If you take a map of the world
and dt·a w lines from Russia to South
Africa, from Egypt to China, from
C"ntral Europe to India, from the
Philippines to the Scandinavias,
from Greenland to Australia, and
f:-om Canada to New Zealand, all
of these lines will cross or converge
a t San F'rancisco. So San Francisco
bPcornes the world peace center.
'No World War Ill.'
Ind icative of the importance of
th1s mee ting are some of the staten:er:ts made by statesmen and
pre.,smcn. Veteran newsman Mark
S!JI!i\'an: "The greatest present
1 e:.?d of the world is to see that
t here s!1a ll be no World War III.
This is the beginning of everything
and the objective of everything."
Lt. Cmdr. Harold Stassen, delegate: "I hope that San Francisco
lil&lt;•Y mean for the world of to11'crrow what Cons titution hall at
Philadelphia meant for the United

A:1thony Eden, foreign secretary of
the British empire: "This may be
ti'e worid's last chance to create an
&lt;·'frc:tive peace organization combin:n~ re~ponsi bility with power."
Attendance at the meeting bears
out this importance. Forty-four

East meets West, and all of the difRel~ased

ferences between them must be
ironed out in order to build an orgamzation that will be effective and
enduring.
Everything Arranged Early.
Experienced protocol officers have
had to work out in advance details
of seating arrangements at meetings
-both general and committee-as
well as at banquets and dinners, and
hotel room assignments. Transportation from air fields to hotels and
from hotels to meeting places had
to be provided.
San Francisco is a cosmopolitan
city with a population made up of
persons from all parts of the world.
Many of its taxi drivers speak
other languages in addition to English. Each taxicab carries a sign
indicating the languages that its
driver speaks, so that foreign delegates may pick out a driver conversant in his own language.
Headquarters for the United Nations convention are in one of the
large hotels on Knob hill. Meetings
are being held in several of the
large public buildings in San Francisco's Civic center, such as War
Memorial Opera house, Veterans'
auditorium and the Civic auditorium.
Rules governing the press and the
public follow in general the pattern
established at the Chapultepec conference in Mexico city, where the
press had admittance to all general
meetings and information sources
from committee meetings. Many of
the general meetings are open to the
public, so far as space makes th a t
possible. It is a privilege long to be
remembered to sit in on a session
where a constitution of the United
Nations is being created.
Details to Committees.
Much of the actual business of the
convention of necessity is done in
committee meetings where plans
and details are formulated, discussed, changed, and worked up
into a cohesive program, to be presented to the general conference.
Here differences come up necessitating reference back to committee,
often time and time again. It is no
easy job to create an instrument
to govern international relations acceptable to people from every
continent of the earth.
But present day transportation
and communications have erased
the barriers of distance and isolation. There is no isolation, we are a
part of a family of nations. Kipling
wrote, "East is east and west is
west - and ne'er the twain shall
meet." But Kipling was probably
wrong. The "twain" are meeting
where the east and the west come
together geographically and spiritually in San Francisco, at the Golden
Gateway to future peace and security among the nations of the earth.
The peoples of the United Nations
look to San Francisco- Australians,
Asiatics,
Europeans,
Africans,
Americans - north and south - all
have their hearts and hopes in the
convention beginning on April 25.
Who knows but that in their hearts
the common people of our enemy,
both European and Asiatic, are
putting their hopes in this world
meeting for an end to the catastrophe which they started but could
not fini s h.
Atop Mt. Davidson, 900 feet above
the city of San Francisco, is a huge
cross. Here annua lly some 50,000 of
the city's diverse population have
ga thered on Easter S und ays to worship at the foot of this cross. Here
all forget their differences of race
and creed in a common reverence.
Never before has this cross been
lighted a t any other time than Holy
Week and Easter. Now, howe ver, it
is illuminated during the entire international conference- that it may
be a guiding light to bring together the east and the west; andin the spirit for which it stands-make brothers of us all in the
United Nations of the World.

In Victory Garden

Pretty House Frock for Matrons
A Sunhack- Bolero--or Pinafore

ALL odds the tomato is: the
B Yuniversal
favorite of home Victory gardeners because they will
grow 'most anywhere, are productive, a pleasure to grow and to eat.
And they are rich in vitamin content.
In full sun, on any reasonably good
soil with a medium to good supply
of moisture, tomatoes can be grown
at some season in
every state of the
Union.
Tomatoes do not
like shade and they
do not like too much
nitrogenous fertilier. With these conditions, the plants
often
grow
very
rank, but the biossums drop off instead of forming
fruit.
If good tomato plants are available for transplanting from dealers,
the small gardener should purchase
them rather than grow the few
needed in the average small garden. They are not difficult to pro·
duce, however.
Good plants about eight inches
tall that are well grown are
de:;irable
for
transplanting.
Transplanting should not take
place before the frost-free date
in your community.
If barnyard manure is applied to
the garden where tomatoes are to
be grown, it should be supplemented
with four to five pounds of superphosphate for each 100 pounds of
manure. Twice that amount should
be added to sheep or poultry manure. It is generally unwise to work
manure into the holes into which
toma to plants are to be set, but a
handful of commercial fertilizer
should be well mixed with the equivalent of a bucketful of soil where
each plant is to be set.
In most gardens it is desirable to
prune the plants to a single stem
or to two stems and t ie them to
stakes. The stake should be about
eight feet long, driven into the soil
about two feet and at least 1% inches
in diameter. As the plant develops,
side shoots or branches appear at
the points where the larg.e leaves
are joined to the main stem. These
shoots are easily broken out, thus restricting the plant to a single stem.
When growth is rapid it JS necessary to go over the plants every two
I or three days to remove the new
side-shoots as they arise. Care must
be taken that the growing tip of the
main stem is not inadvertently
pinched out.

National President,
American Legion Auxiliary.
The American Legion Auxiliary,
ever since its organization, has centered its work on aiding the war
veteran and his family. The Auxiliary in past years has aided veterans of the last war. With the increasing number of veterans in the
present war, the Auxiliary has
stepped up its program to help the
veteran in every possible way.
A million veterans returned home
in 1944. More and more are coming
home each month. There are bound
to be questions they will want to ask
and problems they will have to
J
solve.
To ease this burden the Auxiliary
under the leadership of its national
president, Mrs.
Charles B. Gilbert of Norwich,
Conn., has prePared questions
and answers on
some of the problems which will
affect the veterans and their
families. Here

F ire Hazards
It is the duty of evC'ry pal cnt
to keep constant vigil in the home
to reuuce fire hazard;; which may
t•xist because of the physical makeup of the house, personal habits of
the family, or unsafe housekeepiqg
methods. A good place to start as
a self-appointed fire inspector, is
with the heating system. If you use
a fireplace, be sure to have and use
an adequate screen as a shield
against sparks. Defective flues or
bad c!,imneys are responsible for
more home fires than any other
thing; check to see that there are
no cracks, see that stovepipes are
in good condition and correctly in-.
stalled a safe distance from any
wood. A chimney in good repair
may even be dangerous if it is al·
lowed to become clogged, so keep
the flues open. Ashes are not al·
ways as dead as they seem, and
for that reason should be deposited
ln metal containers that are fireproof.

Sunshine, one of man's best

where riboflavin (Yitamin G or B -2)
is concerned. According to exten·
sion nutritionists almost half the
riboflavin content of milk can be lost
in two hours when the milk bottle
is left exposed to s•llllight. even on a
fairly cnld day. On the other hand,
no loss of riboflavin occurs when
milk is left in 2 d:~rk room for 24
hours, nor is then' any loss when
milk iS stored in C1 refrigerator for
se,·en days. Another gnoct reason for
rushing milk to the refrigerator is
that a high temperature is largely
responsible for rapid bacterial

Competition
• About 25 years ago people in all
walks o1life began {o notice and talk
r f"&gt;Jt •.•r, 1. rtitiPn lJE. tWc-:!11 industrieS. It was new then hnd interesting. Defore that. competition was
unuerstood tc f:XiSt between people
aLd firms in the same indu ;trymerchant vs. merchant, railroad vs.
r~.ilroad, sawmill v.:;. sawmill, etc.
But afte.r \\T(Irld Wnr I it wt.&lt;s a
clwngPd business world, plain to
see.
Among the modest newcomers in
that ren.ote era was a product called
!·ayDn. It was manufactured in the
form of yarn, like wool and cotton
yarns. The price to w~avers w::ts
$2.80 a pound against 501'· for cotton
~ ;JnJ. Last year 55~ a pound was
the price of both rayor. and cotton
y:un!&gt;, and rayon was on the market
as a fihre, very much like cotton
fibre, but less expensive.
Rayon Has G1·own
Back in 1919 the American people
bought less than 2% as much rayon
HS cotton.
Last year the ratio was
20% and rayon had captured -quite
a slice of cotton's export demand.
Europeans earn less than Americ-ans and they pay more attention
to a low price. If it were not for
the war using up all both industries
can produce rayon would probably
lje giving cotton some tough competition.
When the war ends these two big
industries are faced with a struggle
for sales in world markets. It is
anybody's guess now how the strug~le will turn out, but King Cotton is
not licked. The cotton industry is
~:&gt;ti II much bigger; still employs
more pPople than clny other American industry. Besides, smart cotton men understand how rayon
made its remarkable gains.
Volume and Wages
Rayon started nut the A11'1erican
way. It had relatively large investments in machinery.
With good
tools it turned out large volumes
of rayon per worker. On a basis
of big results from their day's work
the men who worked dn.w good
wages. At the same time lai ge outputs of rayon r•er man every day
made it possible for prices to go
lo,ver and lowe1· each year, sales to
become bigger and bigger.
Working people in America hav~
a right to live well. When they
eam good wages the;y flo live well.
Money they spend is the very life
lJlood of national prosperity. But
hefore they can earn good pay they
have to turn out lots of merchandise per worker. And in order to
produce goons in volume they mu t
have good tools. It was a l'f'CCessful
plan with rayon and it will work with
cotton.
It Costs Something
People s.ay there is a practical
cotton picker ready for introduction
after the war. It will cost a lot
more tban one big sack and a string
for each member of a share-cropper's family; it will likewise pick
more cotton in a day than they can
pick in a week. Efficient tools call
for capital investment. It means
laying out money, but efficient tools
are wo1 th it.
PeoPle say we will see many
mechanical cotton choppers after
the war. It is not impossible. This
will increase the number of acres
of colton per worker; make more
yield per day for every man. The
picker and the chopper will create
high wages and good living for a
lot oi j;&gt;eople. But rayon can win its
war with cotton if cotton tries to
stay in the field armed with hoes
and gunny-sacks,

Sound Planning Essential
For Best Garden Results
The first step toward efficiennt use
of time and space in the garden is
sound planning. Before beginning
the actual work. draw a plan of
your garden on paper in proper proportions with essential phases of
the work noted.
Six important points to include
in this plan are: The amount and
kind of each vegetable to plant;
the location of each crop in the garden; planting distances; the variety
of each vegetable to plant; the probable planting dates; and succession
crops (replanting of same vegetable to give constant supply).
Run rows north and south if possible to afford more sunlight; plant
tall crops where they will not shade
smaller plants; plant perennials at
one side so they will not interfere
with preparation of the rest of the
garden each season.
Arranging rows of crops accordi~.g to planting dates makes it possible to prepare only the part
needed at one time. Plan for enough
different kinds of vegetables to provide well balanced meals and variety, and enough to can for winter
use-and plant what your family
likes.
Make your plan flexible
enough to allow necessary changes.

Hang slip covers np to &lt;li&gt;' _occasionally - outdoors on a sl1ghtly
wind)' day. if possible. Because
some dirt sifts through, brush upholstery on both sidPs while the covers are off. Brush or vacuum covers

Important Tool
Only a sliver of glass, the lens is
one of the fundamental tools of civilization, Dr. J. Edward Tufft, editor of the "Optical World," points
out in a recent issue of that journal.
The lens, he says, has extended
man's range of vision to the infinitely large and the minutely
small. It has revealed to the eye
of man the physical mysteries of
nature. It has shown that the sun is
the center of our solar system and
that the stars in the ' sky move
around in space according to fixed
law. It has led to the discovery
of the cellular structure of the human body and has brought to light
the germs that cause disease. The
lens guides the aviator on his way
and it furnishes new eyes of accuracy to the gunners on the battlefronts. "The lens is a factor in life
of moment so great as to baffie
imagination," continues Dr. Tutrt.
"The lens continues to multiply the
whole meaning and purpose of life.
Surely, it may be classed with the
lever and with the wheel in its
countless benefits."
Forest Land
Of 630,000,000 forest land acres in
the U. S., 168,000,000 are not suited
or available for growing timber,
77,000,000 are virtually nonproductive as a result of destructive cutting and fire, and all but 100,000,000
of the rest has been cut over and
produces only a fraction of what it
might. Almost as much usable timber still stands as was cut since the
birth of the nation. Records show
that the total volume of standing
timber in the U. S., was reduced almost 40 per cent from 1909 to 1938,
to say nothing of recent intensive
logging necessary because of the
war. Eleven billion cubic feet of new
growth occurs each year - so we
shall always have an abundance.
Nearly 17 billion cubic feet, or 50
per cent more than total growth,
was cut or destroyed in 1943, while
in sawtimber alone drain was almost twice annual growth.

Aerial Gunnery

On an average, 750 shqtshells are
fired by students in the army air
forces during t heir course of training in aerial gunnery, it has been
revealed by the army air forces.
The shotshells are used to teach
trainees how to shoot, trap and
skeet in order to acquire the duck
hunter's trick of hitting fast-moving
targets. An aerial gunner fires 10
shots in training for every shot he
fires in combat. Training ammunition includes the shotshells as well
as machine gun ammunition. In an
average week the AAF uses 2,100.000 shotshells which requires 147,000
pounds of lead shot and 22,500
pL•unds r smokeless powder.

Defense Pockets

U.S. Losses

Their front shattered by Allied
break-throughs, Nazi militarists envisioned the formation of numerous
strong pockets of resistance for a
last-ditch stand against the massed
weight of U. S., British and Russian forces.
Discussed even as U. S. and British armies drove toward a link-up
in the Berlin region, the object of
the pockets would be to make the
war so costly to the Allies as to induce a willingness to talk terms.
Recogni"!:ing the possibilities o! such
warfare, Supreme Allied headquarters indicated that V-E Day might
not be proclaimed until major
nests of resistance were cleaned up
to prevent a lowering of civilian
and military morale because of
losses sustained in continuing operations.
With U. S. and British forces
spearheading across the Reich, and
the Russians moving in from !he
east,
most prominent German
pockets shaped up along the North
sea coasts and mountainous Bavaria.
Naz1 plans for a die-hard stand
shaped U!'J as the great Russian
drive surged on battered Berlin and
0 . S . forces moved toward a juncture with the Reds in Saxony.
With the Russians throwing over
2,000,000 men into the battle, and
the Germans concentrating the
bulk of their forces against the onslaught, the fight for Berlin became
one of the bloodiest encounters of the
whole war. As Red forces edged
through a network of strong fortifications under rolling fire, the enemy
threw in masses of tanks in an ef-

For the first time in the Pacific
war, navy casualties in the Okinawa campaign ran ahead of the
army's and marines', with bitter
fighting threa Lening to make the
operation as costly as at Iwo Jima.
Numbered among the victims was
famed War Correspondent Ernie
Pyle, whose simplicity of reporting
the war from Europe to Asia
brought the realism of the conflict so much closer to the nation's
folk.
With the Ryukyu island chain,
containing Okinawa, lying but 325
miles from Tokyo, the Japs put up
a stiff fight, throwing in waves of
airplanes in an attempt to impede
supporting U. S. naval operations.
Led by the silken-shrouded Kamikaze (suicide) fliers, enemy airmen
inflicted the greatest percentage of
naval casualties.
In ground fighting on Okinawa itself, chief opposition centered in
the southern part of the island above
the capital city of Naha, where 24th
corps army troops bucked against
the four-mile deep "Little Siegfried"
line.
While fighting raged about Okinawa, General MacArthur's forces
tightened their hold on the Philippines by edging into the enemy's
mountain strongholds on northern
Luzon, and establishing further footholds on Mindanao, second biggest
island in the archipelago.

NAVY:
Postwar Fleet
Although final action depends
upon the nation's future policy,
tentative navy plans call for a
huge postwar fleet of 5,830 vessels and the scrapping of another 6,094, according to testimony released by the house appropriations committee.
Of the 5,830 vessels, 1,191
would be combat ships, with the
remaining 4,639 auxiliary craft.
Plans call for use of 482 of the
combat vessels, r.anging from
submarines to battleships, with
the rest laid up for recall on
short notice. Of the auxiliaries,
1,794 would be kept active and
the remainder anchored for future demands.
Among the 6,094 vessels to be
scrapped or u sed as targets are
337 obsolescent combat ships.
The remainder are auxiliaries,
including landing craft. In addition, it was disclosed, the navy
will have some 66,000 other craft
on its hands as demobilization

Of the nearly 150,000 persons
who died of cancer in the United
States last year, approximately
3,600 were between the ages of
20 and 29. It is true that cancer
reaps its highest death toll in
the age groups over 40, but it
may affiict a person in any age
group with equally tragic results-even infants have been
known to die from cancer. If
treated in the early stages, however, the disease is curable, authorities point oa.t.

THE STORY THUS FAR: American
tToops, taklnr part In tbe Invasion ot
Italy, arrived at the seaport town of
Adano. MaJor VIctor Joppolo, from
Brooklyn, New York, was In charge a1
the Amgot officer. With him was Ser·
&amp;eant Leonard Borth, to serve as M.P.
tn charg'e of security. The Major lm·
mediately beg'an to Interview tbe citl·
zens of Adano. In order to determine
tllelr needs. He was determined that
oolblng would be left undone wblcb
.,.ould Improve their conditions and make
their lives more pleasant. With Borth,
Major Joppolo Inspected the former Nazi
headquarters, which he was to u~e a1
bls office. He spent bls first hours cet.Ung acquainted.

CHAPTER II
Major Joppolo said: "Do not bow.
There is no need to grovel here. I
am only a Major. Borth here is a
Sergeant. Are you a man 7 "
Little Zito was getting very mixed
up. "No sir," he said cautiously.
Then he saw by the Major's expression that he should have said yes,
and he did.
The Major said: "You may greet
me by shaking my hand. You will
greet Sergeant Borth in the same
way."
Borth said, and his expression
showed that he was teasing the Italian: "First I will find out if he's a
dangerous Fascist."
Little Zito did not know whether
to laugh or cry. He was frightened but he was also flattered by
these men. He said: "I will never
He to you, Mister Major. I am antiFascist, Mister Sergeant. I will be
usher here."
:vlajor Joppolo said: "Be here at
seven o'clock each morning."
"Seven o'clock." said Zito.
A brief burst of machine gun and
rifle fire echoed from distant streets.
Zito cringed.
Borth said: "You are perhaps a
man but you are also frightened. ·•
Major Joppolo said: "Has it been
bad here?"
Zito started jabbering about the
bombardments and the air raids.
"We are very hungry," he said
when he had cooled down a little.
"For three days we have not had
bread. All the important ones ran
away and left me here to guard the
Palazzo. The stink of dead is very
bad, especially in the Piazza San
Angelo. Some people are sick because the drivers of the water carts
have not had the courage to get
water for several days, because of
the planes along the roads. We do
not believe in victory. And our bell
is li(one."
Major Joppolo said: ' 1Your bell?"
Zito said: "Our bell which was
seven hundred years old. Mussolini
took it. It rang with a good tone
each quarter hour. Mussolini took it
• to make rifle barrels or something.
The town was very angry. Everyone begged the Monsignor, who is
the . uncle of the Mayor, to offer
some church bells instead. But the
Monsignor is uncle of the Mayor,
he is not the sort to desecrate
churches, he says. It meant we
lost our bell. And only two weeks
before you came. Why did you not
come sooner?··
"Where was this bell?"
"Right here." Zito pointed over
his head. "The whole building tingled when it rang."
Major Joppolo said to Borth: "I
saw the framework for the bell up
on the tower, did you?" Then he
added to Zito: "That is your reason
for wanting us to have come sooner,
is it?"
Zito was careful. "Partly," he
said.
Now Major Joppolo said in English more or less to himself: "It's a
nice picture, I wonder how old it is,
maybe it's by somebody famous."
The Major went to the desk, pulled
out the high-backed chair and sat
in it, carefully putting his feet on
the scrollwork footstool.
Borth said: "How does it feel,
Duce?"
The Major said: "There is so
much to do, I hardly know where
to begin."
Borth said: "I know what I must
do. I've got to find the offices of
the Fascist Party, to see if I can
find more records. May I take the
Mister Usher and look for the Fas"Go ahead, Borth," the Major
said.
When the two had left, Major Joppolo opened his brief case and took
out some papers. He put them in a
neat pile on the desk in front of
him and began to read:
"INSTRUCTIONS TO CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICERS. First day: Enter the city with the first column.
Cooperate with C.I.C. in placing
guards and seizing records. Place
all food warehouses, enemy food
dumps, wholesale food concerns,
and other major food stocks under

under guard or protection: foundries, machine shops, electrical

and added: "I wish to advise you

Major Joppolo, seeing Giuseppe's

vVorld Peace Hopes Converge
On Conference in San Francisco
An Organization With
Responsibility, Power
Envisioned by Planners
By JOHN E. JONES

by Western Ncwspaoer Union.
Out of the Yalta conference of
the Big Three came the electrifying news that San Francisco had
been selected for the coming United
Nations conference - "We have
agreed," they said, "that a conference of United Nations should be
called to meet at San Francisco in
the United States on April 25,
1945, to prepore the charter of such
an organization, a long the line proposed in the informal conversations
at Dum barton Oaks."
Official announcement came to
San Francisco's Mayor Lapham
from Acting Secretary of State
Jo~eph C. Grew with the further advice that "Representatives of the
department of state will get in touch
with you in a day or so with regard
to necessary arrangements for the
conference.''
And so San Francisco, most
wes tern of our American cities,
founded in 1776, the same year as
our Declaration of Independence,
becomes the focal point of men's
hopes from all parts of the world
fo1· enduring peace. San Francisco,
the Golden Gate of the '49ers, becol'Y'es now the new Golden Gateway
to future security for all mankind.
If you take a map of the world
and dt·a w lines from Russia to South
Africa, from Egypt to China, from
C"ntral Europe to India, from the
Philippines to the Scandinavias,
from Greenland to Australia, and
f:-om Canada to New Zealand, all
of these lines will cross or converge
a t San F'rancisco. So San Francisco
bPcornes the world peace center.
'No World War Ill.'
Ind icative of the importance of
th1s mee ting are some of the staten:er:ts made by statesmen and
pre.,smcn. Veteran newsman Mark
S!JI!i\'an: "The greatest present
1 e:.?d of the world is to see that
t here s!1a ll be no World War III.
This is the beginning of everything
and the objective of everything."
Lt. Cmdr. Harold Stassen, delegate: "I hope that San Francisco
lil&lt;•Y mean for the world of to11'crrow what Cons titution hall at
Philadelphia meant for the United
St;.tes of America."
A:1thony Eden, foreign secretary of
the British empire: "This may be
ti'e worid's last chance to create an
&lt;·'frc:tive peace organization combin:n~ re~ponsi bility with power."
Attendance at the meeting bears
out this importance. Forty-four
n:1tinns from a ll continents of the
t·&lt;.nth are r e presented . It has been

ferences between them must be
ironed out in order to build an orgamzation that will be effective and
enduring.
Everything Arranged Early.
Experienced protocol officers have
had to work out in advance details
of seating arrangements at meetings
-both general and committee-as
well as at banquets and dinners, and
hotel room assignments. Transportation from air fields to hotels and
from hotels to meeting places had
to be provided.
San Francisco is a cosmopolitan
city with a population made up of
persons from all parts of the world.
Many of its taxi drivers speak
other languages in addition to English. Each taxicab carries a sign
indicating the languages that its
driver speaks, so that foreign delegates may pick out a driver conversant in his own language.
Headquarters for the United Nations convention are in one of the
large hotels on Knob hill. Meetings
are being held in several of the
large public buildings in San Francisco's Civic center, such as War
Memorial Opera house, Veterans'
auditorium and the Civic auditorium.
Rules governing the press and the
public follow in general the pattern
established at the Chapultepec conference in Mexico city, where the
press had admittance to all general
meetings and information sources
from committee meetings. Many of
the general meetings are open to the
public, so far as space makes th a t
possible. It is a privilege long to be
remembered to sit in on a session
where a constitution of the United
Nations is being created.
Details to Committees.
Much of the actual business of the
convention of necessity is done in
committee meetings where plans
and details are formulated, discussed, changed, and worked up
into a cohesive program, to be presented to the general conference.
Here differences come up necessitating reference back to committee,
often time and time again. It is no
easy job to create an instrument
to govern international relations acceptable to people from every
continent of the earth.
But present day transportation
and communications have erased
the barriers of distance and isolation. There is no isolation, we are a
part of a family of nations. Kipling
wrote, "East is east and west is
west - and ne'er the twain shall
meet." But Kipling was probably
wrong. The "twain" are meeting
where the east and the west come
together geographically and spiritually in San Francisco, at the Golden
Gateway to future peace and security among the nations of the earth.
The peoples of the United Nations
look to San Francisco- Australians,
Asiatics,
Europeans,
Africans,
Americans - north and south - all
have their hearts and hopes in the
convention beginning on April 25.
Who knows but that in their hearts
the common people of our enemy,
both European and Asiatic, are
putting their hopes in this world
meeting for an end to the catastrophe which they started but could
not fini s h.
Atop Mt. Davidson, 900 feet above
the city of San Francisco, is a huge
cross. Here annua lly some 50,000 of
the city's diverse population have
ga thered on Easter S und ays to worship at the foot of this cross. Here
all forget their differences of race
and creed in a common reverence.
Never before has this cross been
lighted a t any other time than Holy
Week and Easter. Now, howe ver, it
is illuminated during the entire international conference- that it may
be a guiding light to bring together the east and the west; andin the spirit for which it stands-make brothers of us all in the
United Nations of the World.

Tomato Grot ing
lmport,ant Project
In Victory Garden

Pretty House Frock for Matrons
A Sunhack- Bolero--or Pinafore

ALL odds the tomato is: the
B Yuniversal
favorite of home Victory gardeners because they will
grow 'most anywhere, are productive, a pleasure to grow and to eat.
And they are rich in vitamin content.
In full sun, on any reasonably good
soil with a medium to good supply
of moisture, tomatoes can be grown
at some season in
every state of the
Union.
Tomatoes do not
like shade and they
do not like too much
nitrogenous fertilier. With these conditions, the plants
often
grow
very
rank, but the biossums drop off instead of forming
fruit.
If good tomato plants are available for transplanting from dealers,
the small gardener should purchase
them rather than grow the few
needed in the average small garden. They are not difficult to pro·
duce, however.
Good plants about eight inches
tall that are well grown are
de:;irable
for
transplanting.
Transplanting should not take
place before the frost-free date
in your community.
If barnyard manure is applied to
the garden where tomatoes are to
be grown, it should be supplemented
with four to five pounds of superphosphate for each 100 pounds of
manure. Twice that amount should
be added to sheep or poultry manure. It is generally unwise to work
manure into the holes into which
toma to plants are to be set, but a
handful of commercial fertilizer
should be well mixed with the equivalent of a bucketful of soil where
each plant is to be set.
In most gardens it is desirable to
prune the plants to a single stem
or to two stems and t ie them to
stakes. The stake should be about
eight feet long, driven into the soil
about two feet and at least 1% inches
in diameter. As the plant develops,
side shoots or branches appear at
the points where the larg.e leaves
are joined to the main stem. These
shoots are easily broken out, thus restricting the plant to a single stem.
When growth is rapid it JS necessary to go over the plants every two
I or three days to remove the new
side-shoots as they arise. Care must
be taken that the growing tip of the
main stem is not inadvertently
pinched out.

National President,
American Legion Auxiliary.
The American Legion Auxiliary,
ever since its organization, has centered its work on aiding the war
veteran and his family. The Auxiliary in past years has aided veterans of the last war. With the increasing number of veterans in the
present war, the Auxiliary has
stepped up its program to help the
veteran in every possible way.
A million veterans returned home
in 1944. More and more are coming
home each month. There are bound
to be questions they will want to ask
and problems they will have to
J
solve.
To ease this burden the Auxiliary
under the leadership of its national
president, Mrs.
Charles B. Gilbert of Norwich,
Conn., has prePared questions
and answers on
some of the problems which will
affect the veterans and their
families. Here

F ire Hazards
It is the duty of evC'ry pal cnt
to keep constant vigil in the home
to reuuce fire hazard;; which may
t•xist because of the physical makeup of the house, personal habits of
the family, or unsafe housekeepiqg
methods. A good place to start as
a self-appointed fire inspector, is
with the heating system. If you use
a fireplace, be sure to have and use
an adequate screen as a shield
against sparks. Defective flues or
bad c!,imneys are responsible for
more home fires than any other
thing; check to see that there are
no cracks, see that stovepipes are
in good condition and correctly in-.
stalled a safe distance from any
wood. A chimney in good repair
may even be dangerous if it is al·
lowed to become clogged, so keep
the flues open. Ashes are not al·
ways as dead as they seem, and
for that reason should be deposited
ln metal containers that are fireproof.

Competition
• About 25 years ago people in all
walks o1life began {o notice and talk
r f"&gt;Jt •.•r, 1. rtitiPn lJE. tWc-:!11 industrieS. It was new then hnd interesting. Defore that. competition was
unuerstood tc f:XiSt between people
aLd firms in the same indu ;trymerchant vs. merchant, railroad vs.
r~.ilroad, sawmill v.:;. sawmill, etc.
But afte.r \\T(Irld Wnr I it wt.&lt;s a
clwngPd business world, plain to
see.
Among the modest newcomers in
that ren.ote era was a product called
!·ayDn. It was manufactured in the
form of yarn, like wool and cotton
yarns. The price to w~avers w::ts
$2.80 a pound against 501'· for cotton
~ ;JnJ. Last year 55~ a pound was
the price of both rayor. and cotton
y:un!&gt;, and rayon was on the market
as a fihre, very much like cotton
fibre, but less expensive.
Rayon Has G1·own
Back in 1919 the American people
bought less than 2% as much rayon
HS cotton.
Last year the ratio was
20% and rayon had captured -quite
a slice of cotton's export demand.
Europeans earn less than Americ-ans and they pay more attention
to a low price. If it were not for
the war using up all both industries
can produce rayon would probably
lje giving cotton some tough competition.
When the war ends these two big
industries are faced with a struggle
for sales in world markets. It is
anybody's guess now how the strug~le will turn out, but King Cotton is
not licked. The cotton industry is
~:&gt;ti II much bigger; still employs
more pPople than clny other American industry. Besides, smart cotton men understand how rayon
made its remarkable gains.
Volume and Wages
Rayon started nut the A11'1erican
way. It had relatively large investments in machinery.
With good
tools it turned out large volumes
of rayon per worker. On a basis
of big results from their day's work
the men who worked dn.w good
wages. At the same time lai ge outputs of rayon r•er man every day
made it possible for prices to go
lo,ver and lowe1· each year, sales to
become bigger and bigger.
Working people in America hav~
a right to live well. When they
eam good wages the;y flo live well.
Money they spend is the very life
lJlood of national prosperity. But
hefore they can earn good pay they
have to turn out lots of merchandise per worker. And in order to
produce goons in volume they mu t
have good tools. It was a l'f'CCessful
plan with rayon and it will work with
cotton.
It Costs Something
People s.ay there is a practical
cotton picker ready for introduction
after the war. It will cost a lot
more tban one big sack and a string
for each member of a share-cropper's family; it will likewise pick
more cotton in a day than they can
pick in a week. Efficient tools call
for capital investment. It means
laying out money, but efficient tools
are wo1 th it.
PeoPle say we will see many
mechanical cotton choppers after
the war. It is not impossible. This
will increase the number of acres
of colton per worker; make more
yield per day for every man. The
picker and the chopper will create
high wages and good living for a
lot oi j;&gt;eople. But rayon can win its
war with cotton if cotton tries to
stay in the field armed with hoes
and gunny-sacks,

Sound Planning Essential
For Best Garden Results
The first step toward efficiennt use
of time and space in the garden is
sound planning. Before beginning
the actual work. draw a plan of
your garden on paper in proper proportions with essential phases of
the work noted.
Six important points to include
in this plan are: The amount and
kind of each vegetable to plant;
the location of each crop in the garden; planting distances; the variety
of each vegetable to plant; the probable planting dates; and succession
crops (replanting of same vegetable to give constant supply).
Run rows north and south if possible to afford more sunlight; plant
tall crops where they will not shade
smaller plants; plant perennials at
one side so they will not interfere
with preparation of the rest of the
garden each season.
Arranging rows of crops accordi~.g to planting dates makes it possible to prepare only the part
needed at one time. Plan for enough
different kinds of vegetables to provide well balanced meals and variety, and enough to can for winter
use-and plant what your family
likes.
Make your plan flexible
enough to allow necessary changes.

Hang slip covers np to &lt;li&gt;' _occasionally - outdoors on a sl1ghtly
wind)' day. if possible. Because
some dirt sifts through, brush upholstery on both sidPs while the covers are off. Brush or vacuum covers

Important Tool
Only a sliver of glass, the lens is
one of the fundamental tools of civilization, Dr. J. Edward Tufft, editor of the "Optical World," points
out in a recent issue of that journal.
The lens, he says, has extended
man's range of vision to the infinitely large and the minutely
small. It has revealed to the eye
of man the physical mysteries of
nature. It has shown that the sun is
the center of our solar system and
that the stars in the ' sky move
around in space according to fixed
law. It has led to the discovery
of the cellular structure of the human body and has brought to light
the germs that cause disease. The
lens guides the aviator on his way
and it furnishes new eyes of accuracy to the gunners on the battlefronts. "The lens is a factor in life
of moment so great as to baffie
imagination," continues Dr. Tutrt.
"The lens continues to multiply the
whole meaning and purpose of life.
Surely, it may be classed with the
lever and with the wheel in its
countless benefits."
Forest Land
Of 630,000,000 forest land acres in
the U. S., 168,000,000 are not suited
or available for growing timber,
77,000,000 are virtually nonproductive as a result of destructive cutting and fire, and all but 100,000,000
of the rest has been cut over and
produces only a fraction of what it
might. Almost as much usable timber still stands as was cut since the
birth of the nation. Records show
that the total volume of standing
timber in the U. S., was reduced almost 40 per cent from 1909 to 1938,
to say nothing of recent intensive
logging necessary because of the
war. Eleven billion cubic feet of new
growth occurs each year - so we
shall always have an abundance.
Nearly 17 billion cubic feet, or 50
per cent more than total growth,
was cut or destroyed in 1943, while
in sawtimber alone drain was almost twice annual growth.

Aerial Gunnery

On an average, 750 shqtshells are
fired by students in the army air
forces during t heir course of training in aerial gunnery, it has been
revealed by the army air forces.
The shotshells are used to teach
trainees how to shoot, trap and
skeet in order to acquire the duck
hunter's trick of hitting fast-moving
targets. An aerial gunner fires 10
shots in training for every shot he
fires in combat. Training ammunition includes the shotshells as well
as machine gun ammunition. In an
average week the AAF uses 2,100.000 shotshells which requires 147,000
pounds of lead shot and 22,500
pL•unds r smokeless powder.

Defense Pockets

U.S. Losses

Their front shattered by Allied
break-throughs, Nazi militarists envisioned the formation of numerous
strong pockets of resistance for a
last-ditch stand against the massed
weight of U. S., British and Russian forces.
Discussed even as U. S. and British armies drove toward a link-up
in the Berlin region, the object of
the pockets would be to make the
war so costly to the Allies as to induce a willingness to talk terms.
Recogni"!:ing the possibilities o! such
warfare, Supreme Allied headquarters indicated that V-E Day might
not be proclaimed until major
nests of resistance were cleaned up
to prevent a lowering of civilian
and military morale because of
losses sustained in continuing operations.
With U. S. and British forces
spearheading across the Reich, and
the Russians moving in from !he
east,
most prominent German
pockets shaped up along the North
sea coasts and mountainous Bavaria.
Naz1 plans for a die-hard stand
shaped U!'J as the great Russian
drive surged on battered Berlin and
0 . S . forces moved toward a juncture with the Reds in Saxony.
With the Russians throwing over
2,000,000 men into the battle, and
the Germans concentrating the
bulk of their forces against the onslaught, the fight for Berlin became
one of the bloodiest encounters of the
whole war. As Red forces edged
through a network of strong fortifications under rolling fire, the enemy
threw in masses of tanks in an ef-

For the first time in the Pacific
war, navy casualties in the Okinawa campaign ran ahead of the
army's and marines', with bitter
fighting threa Lening to make the
operation as costly as at Iwo Jima.
Numbered among the victims was
famed War Correspondent Ernie
Pyle, whose simplicity of reporting
the war from Europe to Asia
brought the realism of the conflict so much closer to the nation's
folk.
With the Ryukyu island chain,
containing Okinawa, lying but 325
miles from Tokyo, the Japs put up
a stiff fight, throwing in waves of
airplanes in an attempt to impede
supporting U. S. naval operations.
Led by the silken-shrouded Kamikaze (suicide) fliers, enemy airmen
inflicted the greatest percentage of
naval casualties.
In ground fighting on Okinawa itself, chief opposition centered in
the southern part of the island above
the capital city of Naha, where 24th
corps army troops bucked against
the four-mile deep "Little Siegfried"
line.
While fighting raged about Okinawa, General MacArthur's forces
tightened their hold on the Philippines by edging into the enemy's
mountain strongholds on northern
Luzon, and establishing further footholds on Mindanao, second biggest
island in the archipelago.

NAVY:
Postwar Fleet
Although final action depends
upon the nation's future policy,
tentative navy plans call for a
huge postwar fleet of 5,830 vessels and the scrapping of another 6,094, according to testimony released by the house appropriations committee.
Of the 5,830 vessels, 1,191
would be combat ships, with the
remaining 4,639 auxiliary craft.
Plans call for use of 482 of the
combat vessels, r.anging from
submarines to battleships, with
the rest laid up for recall on
short notice. Of the auxiliaries,
1,794 would be kept active and
the remainder anchored for future demands.
Among the 6,094 vessels to be
scrapped or u sed as targets are
337 obsolescent combat ships.
The remainder are auxiliaries,
including landing craft. In addition, it was disclosed, the navy
will have some 66,000 other craft
on its hands as demobilization
proceeds, with some retained
and others disposed of by the
maritime commission.

Of the nearly 150,000 persons

3,600 were between the ages of

reaps its highest death toll in

may affiict a person in any age

known to die from cancer. If
treated in the early stages, however, the disease is curable, authorities point oa.t.

THE STORY THUS FAR: American
tToops, taklnr part In tbe Invasion ot
Italy, arrived at the seaport town of
Adano. MaJor VIctor Joppolo, from
Brooklyn, New York, was In charge a1
the Amgot officer. With him was Ser·
&amp;eant Leonard Borth, to serve as M.P.
tn charg'e of security. The Major lm·
mediately beg'an to Interview tbe citl·
zens of Adano. In order to determine
tllelr needs. He was determined that
oolblng would be left undone wblcb
.,.ould Improve their conditions and make
their lives more pleasant. With Borth,
Major Joppolo Inspected the former Nazi
headquarters, which he was to u~e a1
bls office. He spent bls first hours cet.Ung acquainted.

CHAPTER II
Major Joppolo said: "Do not bow.
There is no need to grovel here. I
am only a Major. Borth here is a
Sergeant. Are you a man 7 "
Little Zito was getting very mixed
up. "No sir," he said cautiously.
Then he saw by the Major's expression that he should have said yes,
and he did.
The Major said: "You may greet
me by shaking my hand. You will
greet Sergeant Borth in the same
way."
Borth said, and his expression
showed that he was teasing the Italian: "First I will find out if he's a
dangerous Fascist."
Little Zito did not know whether
to laugh or cry. He was frightened but he was also flattered by
these men. He said: "I will never
He to you, Mister Major. I am antiFascist, Mister Sergeant. I will be
usher here."
:vlajor Joppolo said: "Be here at
seven o'clock each morning."
"Seven o'clock." said Zito.
A brief burst of machine gun and
rifle fire echoed from distant streets.
Zito cringed.
Borth said: "You are perhaps a
man but you are also frightened. ·•
Major Joppolo said: "Has it been
bad here?"
Zito started jabbering about the
bombardments and the air raids.
"We are very hungry," he said
when he had cooled down a little.
"For three days we have not had
bread. All the important ones ran
away and left me here to guard the
Palazzo. The stink of dead is very
bad, especially in the Piazza San
Angelo. Some people are sick because the drivers of the water carts
have not had the courage to get
water for several days, because of
the planes along the roads. We do
not believe in victory. And our bell
is li(one."
Major Joppolo said: ' 1Your bell?"
Zito said: "Our bell which was
seven hundred years old. Mussolini
took it. It rang with a good tone
each quarter hour. Mussolini took it
• to make rifle barrels or something.
The town was very angry. Everyone begged the Monsignor, who is
the . uncle of the Mayor, to offer
some church bells instead. But the
Monsignor is uncle of the Mayor,
he is not the sort to desecrate
churches, he says. It meant we
lost our bell. And only two weeks
before you came. Why did you not
come sooner?··
"Where was this bell?"
"Right here." Zito pointed over
his head. "The whole building tingled when it rang."
Major Joppolo said to Borth: "I
saw the framework for the bell up
on the tower, did you?" Then he
added to Zito: "That is your reason
for wanting us to have come sooner,
is it?"
Zito was careful. "Partly," he
said.
Now Major Joppolo said in English more or less to himself: "It's a
nice picture, I wonder how old it is,
maybe it's by somebody famous."
The Major went to the desk, pulled
out the high-backed chair and sat
in it, carefully putting his feet on
the scrollwork footstool.
Borth said: "How does it feel,
Duce?"
The Major said: "There is so
much to do, I hardly know where
to begin."
Borth said: "I know what I must
do. I've got to find the offices of
the Fascist Party, to see if I can
find more records. May I take the
Mister Usher and look for the Fas"Go ahead, Borth," the Major
said.
When the two had left, Major Joppolo opened his brief case and took
out some papers. He put them in a
neat pile on the desk in front of
him and began to read:
"INSTRUCTIONS TO CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICERS. First day: Enter the city with the first column.
Cooperate with C.I.C. in placing
guards and seizing records. Place
all food warehouses, enemy food
dumps, wholesale food concerns,
and other major food stocks under

under guard or protection: foundries, machine shops, electrical

straight at Giuseppe the interpreter
and added: "I wish to advise you
to be careful, in Ada no are many
men who were illegal in America,
some men too who were condemned
to the electrical chair in Brooklyn

Major Joppolo, seeing Giuseppe's
embarrassment, said: "Giuseppe, I

Lynn Says:
Wife-Savers: To remove thread
from vacuum cleaner, run a scissors lengthwise between bristles
and cut the threads off. Brush
cut pieces out.
Setting curtain tiebacks? Use a
window shade as a marker to get
both sides done evenly.
Shine the stove by wiping it
carefully with a piece of waxed
paper.
To rip seams from garments,
use a pair of tweezers for pulling
out the shorter threads.
Shine dull glassware by rubbing
a cut piece of lemon over it.
If bureau drawers stick, rub
soap on bottom and sides. This
' helps the drawers to slide out easily.
It is easier to clean a room i!
you pick up all odds and ends
first, then remove all small items
like knickknacks, papers and
magazines, pictures, lamps and
other decorations.
To remove glue stains from
washable articles, rub the stains
well with warm water applied
with a soft sponge or brush.
To clean painted walls, wash
carefully with sponge dipped in
warm sudsy water or solution of
wallpaper cleaner. Wipe off the
soil with a cloth and repeat until
walls are cleaned. Rinse with
sponge dipped in lukewarm water. Wipe dry. Walls should not
be repainted until perfectly dry.
Cotton flannel cloths or rags are
ideal for cleaning and polishing
silverware. Keep several on hand
and wash often in suds and water.
Keep all cleaning materials,
cloths, etc. together in a small
cart or box with handle. This can
be carted from room to room as
you clean and saves the time you
would spend in getting each item
from the cleaning closet.

Radio stations and networks
throughout the country rev1sed their
programs, cancelled outright _or
drastically revised all commerctal
broadcasts, when word was received of the death of President
Roosevelt. Typical of programs
•Jndergoing complete revision was
the Breakfast Club's broadcast on
which Don McN&lt;.:ill, master of ceremony, paid tribute to the president:
"One of the qualities about Mr.
Roosevf&gt;lt that I always admired,"
~aid McNeill, "was his sense of humor In the tremendous job in
which he gave his life he needrd a

'Never mind the flowery language about me - when my time
had come the Lord knew I was

binding. so secure, that this may

days when you can quit worrying
about your loved ones and when you

looks so much better that way.'"

popularity to its ardent fans in every c1ty, hamlet and nearly every
farm in America. It has been

Network stations of the American
Broadcasting company, would say
that the audience's contributions
are what makes for the remarkable
success of the program.
Many fans find other reasons.
Some 875,000 of them applied for
charter membership in the club in
one week.
Each program from Monday
through Saturday at 8 a.m. will find
600 fans watching the program.
Hundreds are turned away daily
from the Chicago studios whe.re the
broadcast originates. Tickets are
now required two weeks in advance.
These people come from all the
states in the union. They come to
see Don McNeill, who has served
as master of ceremonies on more
network broadcasts than any other
man, woman or child in radio. He
has spent more than 4,000 hours

primary objective of hoeing
T orHE cultivating
the Victory garden is weed control. The best time
for this weed eradication is as soon
after a rain or watering as the
ground can be properly worked.
The Victory gardener has three
enemies, all ever-zealous to cause
the work and time spent in preparing, planting and growing the garden to come to
n&lt;l:ught. These e~emles are weeds, diSeases and insects.
· Weeds rob the cultivated plants of
water. nutrients and
even space and
light thJt they rcqUire. After each
culli vation to eradicate weeds, the surface of the garden should be left m a louse, friable
condition so that the soil can absorb
later rainfall.
Care must be taken that cultivation be shallow so as to avoid injuring the vegetable plant roots that lie
near the surface. And contrary to
some opinions, there is little to be
gained by hoeing or cultivating the
garden oftener than necessary to
keep the weeds out. It appears that
a former belief that frequent shallow
cultivation during periods of drouth
was necessary to conserve or bring
moisture up to the roots of the plants
was a fallacy. At least the USDA
is not advocating that kind of cultivation.
Mulching, which bas been
mentioned in these articles as a
conserver of moisture, is also
helpful in keeping weeds down.
Mulching is necessary only in
nonirrigated areas, in periods of
long drouth where water is not
available.
Straw, dried leaves, dried lawn
clippings should be applied between
the rows and around the plants ear-

When the program was started 12

Development of a super meat
yielding hybrid hog by the application of the same inbreeding methods that produced hybrid corn is
the goal of farm authorities.
Thirteen state experiment stations
are cooperating in what is known
as the Regional Swine Breeding
laboratory, George A. Montgomery
writes in Capper's Farmer. They
are inbreeding some of the more
popular breeds with the hope ?f
egtablishing superior types. In th1s
they are following the methods of
those who developed inbred parent
stock for modern hybrid corn.
"The hog men are little further

corn men were 15 or 20 years ago,"
Mr. :Montgomery points out. "They

plains that this is because the base

"Work done at the Minnesota
station with ordinary purebred
boars bears out this theory. A
cross of a purebred boar of one
breed with a purebred sow of another gave pigs that were superior
to either parent breed. The crossbred gilts, mated to a purebred
boar of a third breed were still better than a two-breed cross.

M.c. Don McNeill is an honorary sergeant major at Fort Shendan and a reserve recruiting official
in the marines. He was recently
awarded the degree of Doctor of
Frustration by the Boswell institute.
His greatest honor, however, he
says, is the thousands of letters received from his fans.
The host of the Breakfast Club was
born in Galena, Ill., December 23,
1907. That should make him 38
years old, but he insists that he is
only 28. Several years later the MeNeill family moved to Sheboygan,
Wise. where Don attended hiah
schooi. There is no record of a~y
previous schooling. He gained fame
in high school by wiMing a flyswatting contest. In 1925, he found
his way to Milwaukee and enrolled
in the college of journalism at
Marquette university, where he
edited the student newspaper and
tooted a snazzy saxophone. His personal representative, Jimmy Bennett, says that the success of both
ventures can be determined by the
fact that he is no longer employed
as a tooter of saxophones or a newspaper editor.

scientific gardening. Farming
and gardening are essentially
arts, not sciences. Much can be
learned about gardening and
farmillg, too, by the facts
brought to light in the researches of :scientists all over
the country.
Atter reading all that has been
wntten, gardening must be lear ned
as other arts are learned by prac1

. has already acquired the necessary
skill and judgment.

In the war against noxious weeds, I
· chemistry offers a new weapon that !
opens an entirely new approach to ;
environmental pest control m and
; around orchards and fields.
The
J new material, the active ingredient
1 of which is ammonium sulfamate,
has been found to be exceptiollally efficient in the destruction of un1 desirable weeds.

It has also been used successfully
in recent experiments at the New
Hampshire experiment station to kill
the common barberry, the alternate
or overwintering host of black stem
ru;;t.

It's not because we are not making a lot of
them- it's because a lot of people like the

January 1. Hl20, agriculture held currency and bank deposits totaling ~~~~~~-~~
slightly over 4 billion dollars. The
1945 figure is not available, but it is
expected to be in excess of 10 billion."
With larger operations and increased costs farmers must have
more operating capital than in 1940,
but they don't need 10 billion. in
Predmore's opinion. He believes
farmers can and will put a substantial portion of these cash reserves
into War Bonds.
When they go out to sell War
Bonds to farmers in the Seventh,
\\.'ar Finance Committees throughout the nation will stress personal
solicitation. A survev made follow- 1 1
ing the Sixth War Loan showed that 11
57 percent of the farmer&amp; who were
personally sol;cited bought bonds.

Home Canning
An extensive preserving study has
been carried on over a period of
months to determine the best proportions of sugar and corn syrup to
use in home canning. The study
indicates that, with the addition of
corn syrup to sugar, home-canned
fruit will score high in texture, tlavor, color and general appearance.
Some of the fruits tested were
sour cherries, peaches, apples,
plums, blackberries and pears. The
work began when a staff of home
economists and a food chemist began to pack jars of fruits in specially arranged home kitchens in
Westfield, N. J., using various prooortions of sugar, and sugar and
corn syrup.

To save a lot of women from suff!C'ring unnecessary delusions, extenSIOn specialists in foods and nutrition, stress the fact that one potato
has about the same number of
cah.Jries as a slice of bread. It is
also consid"rl"'d eo.sential to an allaround good diet.
Although the potato isn't acclaimed for its vitamin C content,
nutritionists de:.duce that farm families in the north on winter diets
lackmg citrus fruits, tomatoes and
other rich sources of vaitamin C
have survived without signs of
scurvy largely because they ate so
many potatoes.
Time is saved and it is much more
conveneint to prepare potatoes with
the skins on, for learmng to remove a thin peel is a skill that is
difficult to acquire. Actually, potatoes cooked with the skins on are far
more nutritious, since the food value
cannot escape. In flavor and food
value, the steamea potato holds first
pl;Jre, the boiled potato comes secuuJ, and the baked potato third, as
ranked by nutrition experts.

Cold~Frame
For the cover of a satisfactory
cold-frame.. a storm sash will work
just as -weU as a regular hotbed
sash. The frame itself c:an be constructed of old boards. A few cracks
will cause no trouble, if leav1:::1,
straw, or soil is banked along the
side. A basement windo"''• preferably on the south side of the
house, is an ideal location, with the
frame built around it. The heat will
then enter from the basement. When
the sun is shining on warm spring
days, the front edge of the sash
should be propped up for ventilation, otherwise too much heat will be
created inside the frame. When it
is warm enough, remove the sash
so the small plants become accustomed to the full t'.mlight. Seeds of
hardy vegetables, such as cabbage,
onion, head lettuce, and of hardy
annual flowers, such as larkspur,
bachelor buttons and· calendula,
may be planted in boxes in early
March and placed in such a frame,
using the basement window as a
door. When large enough to handle,
they should be transplanted to provide space for stocky growth. These
plants will be ready for the garden
as soon as the soil can be prepared.
Frost-tender plants, such as tomato,
pepper, eggplant, zinnia and marigold, should be seeded in early
April and set in the open when
danger of frost is past.

Ironing Pad
f.'lstribute the ironing over the
ent1re ironing surface. This keeps
tl:'e pad from packing unevenly and
the ironing shoe from getting too
hot in unused spots and scorching
cover and pad. To freshen the padding when it packs with use, take
off the muslin cover, then the padding. Be !lll.lre to check the way it
fits on the roller or table. Fluff it
up, reverse it, air it and replace it.
Avoid ironing over anything hard
that might injure the ironing surface. Turn .:mttons, snaps, zippers,
and other hard, bumpty things toward the padding. Make an extra
pad cover to use when one is being
washed. Use orig nal cover as a pattern

Take care never to bum fat!
Smoking is the signal that the fat
is begirming to break down; fat that
nus smoked gives food an unpleasnnt and disagreeable flavor and
rapidly bt:comes rancid. Do not put

little rancid, CIS the fresh fat Will f
acqu1re the rancid flavor, warns the

Army Communications
In spite of the increasing use of
radio, wire is still the basic
means of army signal communications. In the European theater and
in Italy the telephone, telegraph and
teletypewriter are carrying the m-aJOr burden in the transmission of
messages. The requirements for
field and assault wire in the European theater alone exceed 3,000
miles ·a day. Noteworthy progress
has been made in the tropicalizing
of signa 1 equipment by moistureproofing, fungus-proofing and hermetically sealing components and
equipments. Through the use of
S).·nthetics and alternate materials
and by improved production techmques in the manufacture of
thousands of procurement items,
sul:&gt;stantial savings in critical mate··
rials have been effected.

AHEAD

Excess 1s a bad thing; t:vervbody
is against Jt. Every time the v.ord

v.hu c docto1 has warned him
a ulntt excess fat or ('Xcess ::.ugar.
•·.t:xcess" alv.o:~-s makes you think
of something tl at's fine in moderation but V! ry bad, dangerous, sinful
maybe, if there is any extra.
It would have bet!n a good thing
for the United States and everybody
in it, if the man who first said "excess profit," had used a term that
mt&gt;ant exactly something. Excess
baggage is everything ·over 150
pounds. of course, and doctors know
prcci~::of'ly what o.:ccss fat or excess
sugar JS when they find lt. but what
is excess profit? Who knows what
it is? Quite often it is the unfair
u:se or an ugly word.
Taxed at 8;; Per Cent
There is such a thing as excess
profit, without a doubt; easr-,. tv
recognize than define. What the
~overnment calls excess profit however, may not always be too much.
I think everybody has a right to
lmuw just what it is that corporatiOns earn and then have to pay 85
cents out of every dollar back to
the government in a special tax.
Consider th1s:
The war choked out a few firms
completely, but a majority kept going and soon found their sales swoll~n by war conditions.
Costs increased tau but, even so, most of
them are making much bigger prof.
its annually before taxes than they
did in a good avl'rage year of business before the war. The 1940 tax
law calls profits "excess" if they
are greater in any one year than
the average annual profits of 1936
through 1!13!1.
Gift From Government
Along with increased costs, born
of war, many hig corporations enjoy economies also incidental to war.
Costs can usually come down with
greatly increased volume, and many
manufacturers are selling every.
thing they make to the government
as fast as they can make it. Some
are relieved entirely of sales expense and kindred expenses like
merchandising, warehousing, deterioration, etc.
Business establishments with government contracts do not offer much
protest against a stiff tax on war
profits. Business men are able to
see sense in it. They have generally
given liberal discounts to big-volume
buyers whose orders keep plants
busy and unit costs down. Government IS always a close buyer ; price
cuts to government departments are
certainly nothing new.
Excess Prices Next
Technic-ally, the excess profits
taxes that corporations pay now are
not price concessions because the
firms actually gj:!t the money and
pay it back later. It is almost precisely a rebate to the government
for its big purchases. The only difference is that our excess profits tax
is a law. War contracts are worded
to cancel themselves the day war
ends, but the ,tax law has to be repealed by Congress or stay in force.
If our 85% excess profits tax law
is not amended to end with the war,
American manufacturers will have
to keep on rebating the government
after the government quits buying.
Selling and warehousing costs will
return; there will be no big-customer
savings to divide with anybody.
If manufacturers pay government
85% of any part of post-war profits,
they must hike prices. That will be
an "excess," really, and the whole
burden of it will fall on us average
con~umers.
We cari only tlrotect
ourselves by havmg proper tax
legislation created now, to go into
effect as soon as the war ends.

..---WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS----. SHOES:
Forced to renege on its promise
of validating another shoe stamp for
children this spring, OPA found itself compelled to go one step farther in conserving the tight supply
of footwear by limiting vets to two
stamps in a book and new babies to

Though OP A later backtracked on
its promise to increase children's
shoe rationing in recognition of their
greater use of footwear, it said 150,000,000 pairs of part leather or com·
position shoes would be produced for
sale to both youths and adults with·
out stamps. However, few of these
shoes have reached dealers' hands.
Factor in the continued shoe
shortage, OPA officials said, was
the under-supply of full grown and
fattened steers, which produce the
best leather. Because stockers have
trimmed their feeding of these ani·
mals on complaint of unfair ceiling
prices, decreased amounts of this
leather is available.

Forced to view emaciated bodies of atrocity victims near Weimar,
German civilians register conflicting emotions. Stories of brutalities have
led congressmen to call for harsh peace.

EUROPE:
Trap Closes
With Adolf Hitler himself directing
the city's defenses, Berlin stood as
a burning symrol as combined U. 5.,
British, Russian and French armies
sought a speedy knockout of Ger,1ap remnants to bring the war to
an early conclusion.
Of all the savage city fighting of
World War II - fighting which left
such historic centers as Warsaw and
Vienna in ruin-none approached the
ferocity of the battle for Berlin,
where German women and even
children reportedly joined the 500,000 army defenders in a fanatical
attempt to curb the Russian steamroller.
With both Germans and Russians
fighting with a burning hatred for
each other, the battle swirled from
house to house through rubble
strewn streets, with massed Red
artillery and air fleets steadily re:iucing enemy strongpoints. Said
Russ! an
correspondents:
"Each
stone of the city, each meter of
street, is against us. We have to
take them with our blood."
As the Reds' vise closed on
embattled Berlin and Hitler exposed himself to one of the most
dramatic captures in history,
elements of the two Russian
armies attacking the city swept
beyond it westward for a junction with American troops along
the Elbe and Muld
rivers.
Meanwhile, stiii another Red
force smashed past Stettin to
drive westward along the Baltic coast and join British troops
whittling Nazi pockets in the
11orth.
Working together to finish off the
Germans in the north, the allies
also cooperated to K. 0. them in
the south, with two drives aiming
to smash the Nazis' vaunted na'.ional redoubt in the Bavarian Alps
and pinch off the great arsenal of
Czechoslovakia.
In the first instance, the French
1st army, the U. S. 7th and 9th and
the Russians rode hard on the enemy's mountain hideout from the
west, north and east in an attempt
to enter it before fanatical SS men
could steady themselves for a stand.
In the other instance, the U. S. 3rd
army pushed into Czechoslovakia
from the west while Russians
moved in from the east, with the
Yanks also swinging southward into
Austria for a hookup with the
Reds. Thus was a solid ring of steel
forged around Hitler's last important industrial area.
In Italy, fast U. S. and British
motorized columns and low-flying
planes shot up retreating Nazi troop
columns falling back on the Alps
to the north. Italian partisans fast
took over administration of this last
stronghold of Mussolini's.

POSTWAR SECURITY:
Discztss Terms
As delegates from 46 United Nations fashioned a postwar organization to keep the peace at the San
Francir.co conference, they pondered amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan, serving as a basis
for sue h a body.
Foremost among the amendments
were those proposed by China
and suppOlLed by the U. S., Britain
and Russia calling for the application of justice and international law
in settlement of disputes; the referral of changes or development of
such law to the assembly of the
security organization, and the addi·
tion of educational and cultural cooperation to the postwar body's responsibilities.
With the U. S., Britain, Russia,
China and France dominating the
organization through permanent

Bombshell

With Marshal Henri Petain still
commanding a large following,
France seethed as the 89-year-old
hero of Verdun of World War I and
collaborationist of World War II

country to stand
trial on charges of
plotting against the

after h1s country's
downfall in 1940 for a cooperative
policy with the enemy which his followers aver was necessary for him
to obtain fair treatment for the
stricken nation.
Declaring that at his age one had
only to fear a failure to perform
his duty, Petain said he was returning for trial not only to clear
his own honor, but also to protect
all of his followers. The peculiarity
of the Marshal's position is exemplified by the fact that some
of his reforms have been earned
over by the De Gaulle government.

MEAT·

•

Supply Cut
Ringing true to predictions that
the meat situation would grow even
tighter, OPA revealed a 21,2 per cent
cut in supplies this month from April,
with slightly more veal, lamb, mutton and pork offset by about 9,000,000 pounds less beef.
At the same time, OPA announced
that rationing would be extended to
cover 99~ per cent of all available
meat items, with only about 5,000,000 pounds of mutton left on a pomtfree basis. Cull and utility grades
of veal and lamb and the breasts,
shanks, necks and flanks of those
meats were put on the red-point
list.
So that the amount of red points
would jibe with the available supplies of meat, point values were
upped, with increases of from one
to two points a pound for most cuts
of all grades of lamb and veal and
one point a pound on most beef
steaks .. Utility grades of veal and
lamb will possess the same ratJOn
values as the better types.

Keep Troops Moving
Approximately 38,500,000 troops
were carried by rail in organized
movements from Pearl Harbor
to the end of February, 1945,
the Association of American
Railroads discloses.
This number, it is said, does
not include the millions of others
traveling under orders in smaller groups or the millions of
servicemen and women commuting on furloughs.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.-There
is something significant, I believe,
in the fact that this world conference which hopes to plot a happier
course for the future of the world
is being held at the Golden Gate.
I can't help contrasting the atmos·
phere with that which enveloped the
gathering on the banks of the Seine
26 years ago, which I also covered.
I think there is much more hope
for success for this gathering
than there was for the Paris con·
ference two decades ago, although
most of us who crowded into its
opening session on the Quai d'Orsay
in Paris on a sunny January day in
1919, were well supplied with hope,
too.
I think the meeting place was well
chosen and if the agenda becomes
unfinished business, it might well
be concluded on the same spot where
the clean fog sweeps in from the
Pacific whose wide waters unite the
east and the west.
There still lingers on California's
shores the memory of its multifold
historical national contacts. It was
here in ·'Drake's Bay" that the fa.
mous English explorer is said to
have stopped to repair his ship I
say was Drake's bay for later, Cermeno. the Span 1·ard, on a voyage
from Manila in 1595, was ship·
wrecked in the same body of watel. and gave I.t 1'ts present name of
San Francisco bay. The Franciscan
missionaries built missions a muleday's journey apart from southern
to northern California. The sword
followed the cross and Portola's
Spanish soldiers fought their way
up to what is still called the Praesidio, the very year the American
nation was born.

civic Ufe ln Adaoo. Be determined to

CHAPTER lD
Craxi said: "I needed no bell. I
-was on the beach to we1come the
Americans. My woman was with
me, the formidable Margherita, and
my seven children. We were on the
beach in spite of the shooting, to
greet the Americans. But what did
my children shout? They did not
shout: 'We miss the tinkling of the
bell.' They shouted: 'Caramelle!
Caramelle!' They were hungry.
They wanted candy. I myself, who
had had enough to eat as it happens,
shouted for cigarettes, not for the
pealing of a bell.''
Borth and the usher Zito came
back. Borth said: "It's nifty, Major. All the records are intact. They
tell everything. There are lists of
anti-Fascists and lists of those who
were enthusiastic and the others
who were lukewarm. There's a dossier on each important person. It's
perfect. Who are these guys?"
Cacopardo said: "Cacopardo is
my name, at your service, sir. Cacopardo is sulphur and sulphur is
Cacopardo.''
Borth said: "I remember that
name. In the records it says Cacopardo's crazy.''
Craxi said: "That is true. He
thinks that bells are more important than food.''
Borth turned on Craxi in mock
anger. '·1\nd who is this?"
Craxi was apologetic again: "I
am anti-Fascist. Craxi. I believe
in food for the moment.''
Major Joppolo said: "They are
arguing which is more important,
food or restoring the bell. Since we
·obviously can't do anything about
the bell just now, food is our concern.''
Craxi looked very proud of himself, but Cacopardo turned to Zito
and said: "We will leave this matter to the son of Rosa who was the
wife of Zito. What do you say,
small Zito, do you consider the food,
or the bell more important?"
Surprisingly Zito said: "I think
i.he bell.''
Major Joppolo was interested by
this. He leaned forward and said:
"Why, Zito?"
Zito said: "Because the tone of
the bell was so satisfactory."
"No," said C9copardo, "it is bec::~use of the history of the bell.
When the bell spoke, our fathers and
their fathers far back spoke to us.''
Even Craxi was swept into this
argument. "No," he said, "it was
because the bell rang the times of
day. It told us when to do things,
.such as eating. It told us when to
have the morning egg and when to
have pasta and rabbit and when to
drink wine in the evening.''
Zito said: "I think it was the tone
which m9ttered. It soothed all the
people of this town. It chided those
who were angry, it cheered the unhappy ones, it even laughed with
those who were drunk. It was a tone
for everybody.''
Giuseppe came in bringing the
priest. Father Pensovecchio was
gray-haired and cheerful, and as he
approached the group around the
Major's desk he made a motion with
his right hand which might have
been interpreted either as a blessing or as a Fascist salute.
After the introductions, Major
.Joppolo said to the priest: "Father,
we are speaking of the old bell
which was taken away.''
Father Pensovecchio said: "That
is the disgrace of this town. I have
in my church a bell which is just as
loud as the one which was taken
away, though not so sweet and much
younger and altogether meaningless
as a bell. Any other bell would
have done as well in my belfry. I
wanted to send my bell. But the
Monsignor would not permit it. The
Monsignor is the uncle of the Mayor.
He has reasons for doing the things
he does-" Father Pensovecchio
·crossed himself, indicating that the
things which the Monsignor did were
somewhat ugly; "-but in this case
1 believe he was wrong."
Borth said: "It's ridiculous. There
are lots of things more important
than this bell. Get them some food
and don't forget that alleyway.''
Major Joppolo said: "All the
same, the bell is important to
them." And he said then in Italian:
"Thank you for telling me about
the bell. I promise you that I will
do all I can to get another bell
which will have some meaning as a
bell and will have a good tone
and its history will be that it was
given to you by the Americans to
take the place of the one which was
taken away by the Fascists to make
gun barrels."
Cacopardo said: "You are kind.''
Craxi said: "I thank you, Mister
Major, and I kiss your hand."
Major Joppolo said: "You what?"
Cacopardo the historian said: "He
meant nr offense. 11 is an old cus-

tom here. Once the Important people make us kiss their hands, and
later when the actual kissing became too much of a bother, it became the habit merely to mention
the kissing, as if it had been done."
Craxi said: "I meant no offense,
Mister Major. I am anti-Fascist.''
Major Joppolo said: "It appears
that everyone in this town is antiFascist. Well, we will see about
the bell. Now I wish to speak alone
with the priest. Zito, you may stay.
You are my usher. Giuseppe, you
may stay. You are my interpreter.''
Craxi said: "Mister Major, the
telegram."
Major J oppolo said: "I will try
to send it.''
Craxi mentioned the kissing
again, and turned to go.
When the others had gone, Major
Joppolo said to Father Pensovecchio: "Father, I wish to tell you that
the Americans want to bring only
good to this town. As in every nation, there are some bad men in
America. It is possible that some
Americans who come here will do
bad things. If they do, I can assure you that most of the Americans will be just as asharned of
those things as you are annoyed by
them.''
Father Pensovecchio said: "I
think we will understand weakness
in your men just as we try to understand it in our own."
Major Joppolo said: "Thank you.
Father, I have been told that you
are the best priest in Adano.''
The priest said with quite honest
modesty: "I am here to do my
duty.''
Major Joppolo said: "Therefore I
should like to ask a favor of you.

Blood and wind rushed into his
throat and his throat roared.
You must feel perfectly free to refuse me if you wish. I should like
to ask you to say a few words before your mass tomorrow morning
about the Americans. I shall leave
it to you to say what you wish, if
you will merely add that there are
certain proclamations which the
Americans have posted which ought
to be read."
Father Pensovecchio said: "That
I can easily do."
Major J oppolo said: "I myself
am a Catholic. If you will have
me, I should like to attend your
mass."
The priest said: "It will be a
pleasure to have you." Major Joppolo was glad that he did not say it
would be an honor.
Major Joppolo said: "I shall see
you tomorrow then.''
Father Pensovecchio said, just to
make sure: "At the Church of San
Angelo. It is by the Piazza of that
name. At seven in the morning.
Until then, son."
When the priest had left, Giuseppe
said in his brand of English: "You
doing okay, a boss. All you got a
do now is fix a food."
"Yes," said Major Joppolo, "food.
We'll go to the ba~eries. But first,
do you have a cner here?"
Giuseppe said to Zito in Italian:
"What ·is the name of the crier?
Did he run into the hills with the
others?"
Zito said: "No, he is here. Mercurio Salvatore. H~ is here. Only,
Mister Major, he does not always
say exactly what you tell him to
say. He will say the general meaning of what you wish, but he will
change it some. Even if you write
it down, he will change it some."
Major Joppolo said: "Will you get
him, please, Zito? I want to send
him out to tell the people to read the
proclamations."
Zito went. Major Joppolo said to
Giuseppe: "We will go to the bakeries, then we will post the proclamations."
Giuseppe said: "Okay, a boss."
Major Joppolo looked down at his
desk and saw Craxi's telegram. He
undid the safety pin and unfolded
the paper and read:
"To Franklin D. Roosevelt, Capi-

tol Building, Washington, D. C. Fremente di gioia per Ia liberta da molto tempo attesa che i vostri valorosi
soldati anno dato alla citta d' Adano
stop vi prego accettare i sentimenti
sinceri della mia gratitudine e riconoscenza. Antifascista Giovanni
La Concetta fu Craxi.''
"Giuseppe," the Major said, "let's
see how good you are as an Interpreter. Now, this is for President
Roosevelt. You must make it as
eloquent as you can. What does it
say?"
"To Franklin D. Roosevelt and a
so forth," said Giuseppe. "Crazy
with joy because of a liberty so long
time awaited which your brave a
soldier have a give to a town of
Adano. What's a stop?"
"That's just the end of a sentence, Giuseppe."
"End a sentence. I beg a you
accept a sincere sentiments of my
gratitude and a r~cognition. Signed
a this Craxi. You going to deliver
it, a boss?"
"Sure," the Major said, "the President will be glad to hear."
Mercurio Salvatore, crier of the
tcawn of Adano. took a little time to
llhow up, because he had to get into
his uniform. His face was happy
when he did arrive, because he had
thought that his crying days were
over. Having been a voice of Fascism for seventeen years, he thought
that the newcomers would not want
his loud shouts. He had taken his
uniform off and h;r!nen it in the
house of Carmelina the wife of Fatta. He had then awkwardly paraded himself in civilian c-lnthes and
the people, having seen him in uniform for seventeen years, laughed
at him.
"Where is the crier?" they asked
each other in his presence.
"He has disappeared into the
clothes of Fatta which do not fit
him," they shouted, and laughed.
Therefore Mercurio Salvatore was
happy and grateful when he presented himself to Major Joppolo. "I
am glad to be able to serve you and
I kiss your hand," he said in his
husky voice. Indoors he had learned
to speak in a kind of whisper, because he knew the strength of his
throat.
If Major Joppolo had been any
other American officer, he would
have laughed outright at Mercurio
Salvatore.
He said: "Crier, I have a job for
you. I must explain this to you:
the Americans are different from
the Fascists. They are different in
many ways. For this reason there
will be quite a few changes in Adano. I hope that they will be changes
for the better."
Mercurio Salvatore said: "Yes,
Mister Major," to show that he
would remember every word of it.
The Major said: "In order to explain some of these changes, I am
going to post at various prominent
places around the town a number of
proclamations, which will make everything clear. All I want you to do
is to tell the people to read these
proclamations. ImJlress on them
that the penalties for not obeying
the Pr&lt;ilclamations will be severe.
That is all."
Mercurio Salvatore looked disappointed. "That is not much to
shout," he said.
Major Joppolo said: "Shall I name
a new crier?"
Mercurio Salvatore said quickly:
"Oh no, Mister Major, I will make
something beautiful of what you
have said."
Major Joppolo said: "The proclamations will be posted before five
o'clock this afternoon.''
Mercurio Salvatore said: "Yes,
Mister Major," and left.
He picked up his drum where he
had left it outside the Major's office.
Ordinarily he had rriade his first
cry in the Piazza Progresso, right
in front of the Palazzo, but this time
he was self-conscious, and wanted
to have a few tries before crying
within earshot of the Major. Therefore ~e went first to the park opposite the Cathedral.
He rolled his drum long and
sharply.
He took a deep breath. Blood and
wind rushed into his throat, and his
throat roared: "Well, you laughed.
But you can see that Mercurio Salvatore is still your crier. The Americans are friends of Mercurio Salvatore. The Americans wish to be
your friends, too. You have been
expecting the Americans for some
time, but did you expect the changes
which would come after the Americans? Did you know that they were
going to change many things after
they came? Did you know that they
were going to change practically
everything except the crier? Well,
your crier is here to tell you this."
Now Mercurio Salvatore filled his
lungs and bellowed: "Opposite me
I see Carmelina the wife of Fatta
in front of her house. I also see the
lazy Fatta leaning against the wall
of his wife's house. The crier wishes
to thank Carmelina for storage of
his uniform during the difficult time
of the invasion. He wishes also to
address a few words to her lazy
husband. It is unfortunate, lazy Fatta, that you never learned to read.
It is too bad that you were too slothful to memorize the letters of the
alphabet. This afternoon you would
have had a chance to read of the
changes which our friends the
Americans intend to bring about
here in Adano.

TRU:MANS TAKE OVER
THE WHITE HOUSE

THE DANCE is not only one of
the seven lively arts; it's
threatening to become the liveliest.
In the movies it's always an upand - down career, if not actually
tough going. Our
producers have
doled it out in
fits and starts-a
number here, a
finale there - as
if they were
afraid we could
not take it in
more than fiveminute doses. And
except for t h e

musicals and an
occasional "Cover Girl" we've had
mighty few that can really be described as dancing films.
In this connection, the late Mark
Sandrich was one of those rare producer - directors who had enough
foresight to cry, "On with the

Setting curtain tiebacks? Use a

Shine the stove by wiping it

To rip seams from garments,

Shine dull glassware by rubbing
a cut piece of lemon over it.

It is easier to clean a room i!
you pick up all odds and ends
first, then remove all small items
like knickknacks, papers and
magazines, pictures, lamps and
other decorations.
To remove glue stains from
washable articles, rub the stains
well with warm water applied
with a soft sponge or brush.
To clean painted walls, wash
carefully with sponge dipped in
warm sudsy water or solution of
wallpaper cleaner. Wipe off the
soil with a cloth and repeat until
walls are cleaned. Rinse with
sponge dipped in lukewarm water. Wipe dry. Walls should not
be repainted until perfectly dry.
Cotton flannel cloths or rags are
ideal for cleaning and polishing
silverware. Keep several on hand
and wash often in suds and water.
Keep all cleaning materials,
cloths, etc. together in a small
cart or box with handle. This can
be carted from room to room as
you clean and saves the time you
would spend in getting each item
from the cleaning closet.

Make Program of Ever
Increasing Interest
By W. J. DRYDEN
R,.l.,ased bv Western Newspaper Union.

Radio stations and networks
throughout the country rev1sed their
programs, cancelled outright _or
drastically revised all commerctal
broadcasts, when word was received of the death of President
Roosevelt. Typical of programs
•Jndergoing complete revision was
the Breakfast Club's broadcast on
which Don McN&lt;.:ill, master of ceremony, paid tribute to the president:
"One of the qualities about Mr.
Roosevf&gt;lt that I always admired,"
~aid McNeill, "was his sense of humor In the tremendous job in
which he gave his life he needrd a
et•nse of humor for balance. In fact,
if he could speak to us now, he
m tght say ~omething like this:
'Never mind the flowery language about me - when my time
had come the Lord knew I was
not an indispensable man, so get
back in there and finish off the job
in a hurry. and make a peace so
binding. so secure, that this may
nevPr happen again. Get back to the
days when you can quit worrying
about your loved ones and when you
·can laugh and smile. Your face
looks so much better that way.'"
Rad1o's favorite daytime variety
show the Breakfast Club, owes its
popularity to its ardent fans in every c1ty, hamlet and nearly every
farm in America. It has been
adopted and considt-red as a part
of rural AmPTiCfl. By making an

well as in metropolitan areas, it

Audience's Contributions.
There are other reasons for

Neill, the genial m.c. of the program, which is carried over Blue

Hybrid

Network stations of the American
Broadcasting company, would say
that the audience's contributions
are what makes for the remarkable
success of the program.
Many fans find other reasons.
Some 875,000 of them applied for
charter membership in the club in
one week.
Each program from Monday
through Saturday at 8 a.m. will find
600 fans watching the program.
Hundreds are turned away daily
from the Chicago studios whe.re the
broadcast originates. Tickets are
now required two weeks in advance.
These people come from all the
states in the union. They come to
see Don McNeill, who has served
as master of ceremonies on more
network broadcasts than any other
man, woman or child in radio. He
has spent more than 4,000 hours
before the micr6phone, and still
gains in popularity.
They come to see Nancy Martin,
the singing schoolma'm, or songster Marion Mann. They come to
see Sam Cowling, the heckler, or
Ed Ballatine, the orchestra director,
or Ray Grant's Vagabonds.
They come to see Fran Allison's
characterizations of genial, gossipy,
gauche "Aunt Fanny," which are ~o
realistic that Fran's mother, back m
Iowa, is in a perpetual dither for
fear that kinfolk might be offended.
They come to make the program,

heartstrings of the Breakfast Club's

primary objective of hoeing
T orHE cultivating
the Victory garden is weed control. The best time
for this weed eradication is as soon
after a rain or watering as the
ground can be properly worked.
The Victory gardener has three
enemies, all ever-zealous to cause
the work and time spent in preparing, planting and growing the garden to come to
n&lt;l:ught. These e~emles are weeds, diSeases and insects.
· Weeds rob the cultivated plants of
water. nutrients and
even space and
light thJt they rcqUire. After each
culli vation to eradicate weeds, the surface of the garden should be left m a louse, friable
condition so that the soil can absorb
later rainfall.
Care must be taken that cultivation be shallow so as to avoid injuring the vegetable plant roots that lie
near the surface. And contrary to
some opinions, there is little to be
gained by hoeing or cultivating the
garden oftener than necessary to
keep the weeds out. It appears that
a former belief that frequent shallow
cultivation during periods of drouth
was necessary to conserve or bring
moisture up to the roots of the plants
was a fallacy. At least the USDA
is not advocating that kind of cultivation.
Mulching, which bas been
mentioned in these articles as a
conserver of moisture, is also
helpful in keeping weeds down.
Mulching is necessary only in
nonirrigated areas, in periods of
long drouth where water is not
available.
Straw, dried leaves, dried lawn
clippings should be applied between
the rows and around the plants ear-

When the program was started 12
years ago, no visitors were allowed.
This rule was first broken in 1937,
in response to a letter from a hopelessly tubercular marine, who wrote
that seeing a performance of the

wanted to do before his final hour.

Development of a super meat
yielding hybrid hog by the application of the same inbreeding methods that produced hybrid corn is
the goal of farm authorities.
Thirteen state experiment stations
are cooperating in what is known
as the Regional Swine Breeding
laboratory, George A. Montgomery
writes in Capper's Farmer. They
are inbreeding some of the more
popular breeds with the hope ?f
egtablishing superior types. In th1s
they are following the methods of
those who developed inbred parent
stock for modern hybrid corn.
"The hog men are little further

corn men were 15 or 20 years ago,"
Mr. :Montgomery points out. "They

plains that this is because the base
is too narrow.
"Work done at the Minnesota
station with ordinary purebred
boars bears out this theory. A
cross of a purebred boar of one
breed with a purebred sow of another gave pigs that were superior
to either parent breed. The crossbred gilts, mated to a purebred
boar of a third breed were still better than a two-breed cross.

this work. At one bond auction McNeill sold $1,114,000 worth of war
bonds at the swank Winnetka dis·

M.c. Don McNeill is an honorary sergeant major at Fort Shendan and a reserve recruiting official
in the marines. He was recently
awarded the degree of Doctor of
Frustration by the Boswell institute.
His greatest honor, however, he
says, is the thousands of letters received from his fans.
The host of the Breakfast Club was
born in Galena, Ill., December 23,
1907. That should make him 38
years old, but he insists that he is
only 28. Several years later the MeNeill family moved to Sheboygan,
Wise. where Don attended hiah
schooi. There is no record of a~y
previous schooling. He gained fame
in high school by wiMing a flyswatting contest. In 1925, he found
his way to Milwaukee and enrolled
in the college of journalism at
Marquette university, where he
edited the student newspaper and
tooted a snazzy saxophone. His personal representative, Jimmy Bennett, says that the success of both
ventures can be determined by the
fact that he is no longer employed
as a tooter of saxophones or a newspaper editor.

mulch is valuable too, around nonstaked tomatoes, cucumber and
bush squash plants to keep the fruits
from contact with the soil, thus keeping the fruits clean and reducing
loss from certain rot organisms that
are carried in the soil.
When the plant material has been
decayed so that it can be easily cut
through with a spade, the whole pile
should be cut by vertical slices
about an inch thick down through all
the layers. As the slices fall, they
are mixed and should be thrown into
another pile for further decomposition.

have been building up bank deposits

January 1. Hl20, agriculture held currency and bank deposits totaling ~~~~~~-~~
slightly over 4 billion dollars. The
1945 figure is not available, but it is
expected to be in excess of 10 billion."
With larger operations and increased costs farmers must have
more operating capital than in 1940,
but they don't need 10 billion. in
Predmore's opinion. He believes
farmers can and will put a substantial portion of these cash reserves
into War Bonds.
When they go out to sell War
Bonds to farmers in the Seventh,
\\.'ar Finance Committees throughout the nation will stress personal
solicitation. A survev made follow- 1 1
ing the Sixth War Loan showed that 11
57 percent of the farmer&amp; who were

Home Canning
An extensive preserving study has
been carried on over a period of
months to determine the best proportions of sugar and corn syrup to
use in home canning. The study
indicates that, with the addition of
corn syrup to sugar, home-canned
fruit will score high in texture, tlavor, color and general appearance.
Some of the fruits tested were
sour cherries, peaches, apples,
plums, blackberries and pears. The
work began when a staff of home
economists and a food chemist began to pack jars of fruits in specially arranged home kitchens in
Westfield, N. J., using various prooortions of sugar, and sugar and
corn syrup.

To save a lot of women from suff!C'ring unnecessary delusions, extenSIOn specialists in foods and nutrition, stress the fact that one potato
has about the same number of
cah.Jries as a slice of bread. It is
also consid"rl"'d eo.sential to an allaround good diet.
Although the potato isn't acclaimed for its vitamin C content,
nutritionists de:.duce that farm families in the north on winter diets
lackmg citrus fruits, tomatoes and
other rich sources of vaitamin C
have survived without signs of
scurvy largely because they ate so
many potatoes.
Time is saved and it is much more
conveneint to prepare potatoes with
the skins on, for learmng to remove a thin peel is a skill that is
difficult to acquire. Actually, potatoes cooked with the skins on are far
more nutritious, since the food value
cannot escape. In flavor and food
value, the steamea potato holds first
pl;Jre, the boiled potato comes secuuJ, and the baked potato third, as
ranked by nutrition experts.

Cold~Frame
For the cover of a satisfactory
cold-frame.. a storm sash will work
just as -weU as a regular hotbed
sash. The frame itself c:an be constructed of old boards. A few cracks
will cause no trouble, if leav1:::1,
straw, or soil is banked along the
side. A basement windo"''• preferably on the south side of the
house, is an ideal location, with the
frame built around it. The heat will
then enter from the basement. When
the sun is shining on warm spring
days, the front edge of the sash
should be propped up for ventilation, otherwise too much heat will be
created inside the frame. When it
is warm enough, remove the sash
so the small plants become accustomed to the full t'.mlight. Seeds of
hardy vegetables, such as cabbage,
onion, head lettuce, and of hardy
annual flowers, such as larkspur,
bachelor buttons and· calendula,
may be planted in boxes in early
March and placed in such a frame,
using the basement window as a
door. When large enough to handle,
they should be transplanted to provide space for stocky growth. These
plants will be ready for the garden
as soon as the soil can be prepared.
Frost-tender plants, such as tomato,
pepper, eggplant, zinnia and marigold, should be seeded in early
April and set in the open when
danger of frost is past.

Ironing Pad
f.'lstribute the ironing over the
ent1re ironing surface. This keeps
tl:'e pad from packing unevenly and
the ironing shoe from getting too
hot in unused spots and scorching
cover and pad. To freshen the padding when it packs with use, take
off the muslin cover, then the padding. Be !lll.lre to check the way it
fits on the roller or table. Fluff it
up, reverse it, air it and replace it.
Avoid ironing over anything hard
that might injure the ironing surface. Turn .:mttons, snaps, zippers,
and other hard, bumpty things toward the padding. Make an extra
pad cover to use when one is being
washed. Use orig nal cover as a pattern

Take care never to bum fat!
Smoking is the signal that the fat
is begirming to break down; fat that
nus smoked gives food an unpleasnnt and disagreeable flavor and
rapidly bt:comes rancid. Do not put
frcsll drJppings into a can c;ontainmg old fat that may have become a
little rancid, CIS the fresh fat Will f
acqu1re the rancid flavor, warns the
New York State college of home Economics.

Army Communications
In spite of the increasing use of
radio, wire is still the basic
means of army signal communications. In the European theater and
in Italy the telephone, telegraph and
teletypewriter are carrying the m-aJOr burden in the transmission of
messages. The requirements for
field and assault wire in the European theater alone exceed 3,000
miles ·a day. Noteworthy progress
has been made in the tropicalizing
of signa 1 equipment by moistureproofing, fungus-proofing and hermetically sealing components and
equipments. Through the use of
S).·nthetics and alternate materials
and by improved production techmques in the manufacture of
thousands of procurement items,
sul:&gt;stantial savings in critical mate··
rials have been effected.

•·.t:xcess" alv.o:~-s makes you think
of something tl at's fine in moderation but V! ry bad, dangerous, sinful
maybe, if there is any extra.
It would have bet!n a good thing
for the United States and everybody
in it, if the man who first said "excess profit," had used a term that
mt&gt;ant exactly something. Excess
baggage is everything ·over 150
pounds. of course, and doctors know
prcci~::of'ly what o.:ccss fat or excess

is excess profit? Who knows what
it is? Quite often it is the unfair
u:se or an ugly word.
Taxed at 8;; Per Cent
There is such a thing as excess
profit, without a doubt; easr-,. tv
recognize than define. What the
~overnment calls excess profit however, may not always be too much.
I think everybody has a right to
lmuw just what it is that corporatiOns earn and then have to pay 85
cents out of every dollar back to
the government in a special tax.
Consider th1s:
The war choked out a few firms
completely, but a majority kept going and soon found their sales swoll~n by war conditions.
Costs increased tau but, even so, most of
them are making much bigger prof.
its annually before taxes than they
did in a good avl'rage year of business before the war. The 1940 tax
law calls profits "excess" if they
are greater in any one year than
the average annual profits of 1936
through 1!13!1.
Gift From Government
Along with increased costs, born
of war, many hig corporations enjoy economies also incidental to war.
Costs can usually come down with
greatly increased volume, and many
manufacturers are selling every.
thing they make to the government
as fast as they can make it. Some
are relieved entirely of sales expense and kindred expenses like
merchandising, warehousing, deterioration, etc.
Business establishments with government contracts do not offer much
protest against a stiff tax on war
profits. Business men are able to
see sense in it. They have generally
given liberal discounts to big-volume
buyers whose orders keep plants
busy and unit costs down. Government IS always a close buyer ; price
cuts to government departments are
certainly nothing new.
Excess Prices Next
Technic-ally, the excess profits
taxes that corporations pay now are
not price concessions because the
firms actually gj:!t the money and
pay it back later. It is almost precisely a rebate to the government
for its big purchases. The only difference is that our excess profits tax
is a law. War contracts are worded
to cancel themselves the day war
ends, but the ,tax law has to be repealed by Congress or stay in force.
If our 85% excess profits tax law
is not amended to end with the war,
American manufacturers will have
to keep on rebating the government
after the government quits buying.
Selling and warehousing costs will
return; there will be no big-customer
savings to divide with anybody.
If manufacturers pay government
85% of any part of post-war profits,
they must hike prices. That will be
an "excess," really, and the whole
burden of it will fall on us average
con~umers.
We cari only tlrotect
ourselves by havmg proper tax
legislation created now, to go into
effect as soon as the war ends.

..---WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS----. SHOES:
Forced to renege on its promise
of validating another shoe stamp for
children this spring, OPA found itself compelled to go one step farther in conserving the tight supply
of footwear by limiting vets to two
stamps in a book and new babies to
Released by Western Newspaper Union. - - - - - - - - - one-in the latter case, to prevent

Though OP A later backtracked on
its promise to increase children's
shoe rationing in recognition of their
greater use of footwear, it said 150,000,000 pairs of part leather or com·
position shoes would be produced for
sale to both youths and adults with·
out stamps. However, few of these
shoes have reached dealers' hands.
Factor in the continued shoe
shortage, OPA officials said, was
the under-supply of full grown and
fattened steers, which produce the
best leather. Because stockers have
trimmed their feeding of these ani·
mals on complaint of unfair ceiling
prices, decreased amounts of this
leather is available.

Forced to view emaciated bodies of atrocity victims near Weimar,
German civilians register conflicting emotions. Stories of brutalities have
led congressmen to call for harsh peace.

EUROPE:
Trap Closes
With Adolf Hitler himself directing
the city's defenses, Berlin stood as
a burning symrol as combined U. 5.,
British, Russian and French armies
sought a speedy knockout of Ger,1ap remnants to bring the war to
an early conclusion.
Of all the savage city fighting of
World War II - fighting which left
such historic centers as Warsaw and
Vienna in ruin-none approached the
ferocity of the battle for Berlin,
where German women and even
children reportedly joined the 500,000 army defenders in a fanatical
attempt to curb the Russian steamroller.
With both Germans and Russians
fighting with a burning hatred for
each other, the battle swirled from
house to house through rubble
strewn streets, with massed Red
artillery and air fleets steadily re:iucing enemy strongpoints. Said
Russ! an
correspondents:
"Each
stone of the city, each meter of
street, is against us. We have to
take them with our blood."
As the Reds' vise closed on
embattled Berlin and Hitler exposed himself to one of the most
dramatic captures in history,
elements of the two Russian
armies attacking the city swept
beyond it westward for a junction with American troops along
the Elbe and Muld
rivers.
Meanwhile, stiii another Red
force smashed past Stettin to
drive westward along the Baltic coast and join British troops
whittling Nazi pockets in the
11orth.
Working together to finish off the
Germans in the north, the allies
also cooperated to K. 0. them in
the south, with two drives aiming
to smash the Nazis' vaunted na'.ional redoubt in the Bavarian Alps
and pinch off the great arsenal of
Czechoslovakia.
In the first instance, the French
1st army, the U. S. 7th and 9th and
the Russians rode hard on the enemy's mountain hideout from the
west, north and east in an attempt
to enter it before fanatical SS men
could steady themselves for a stand.
In the other instance, the U. S. 3rd
army pushed into Czechoslovakia
from the west while Russians
moved in from the east, with the
Yanks also swinging southward into
Austria for a hookup with the
Reds. Thus was a solid ring of steel
forged around Hitler's last important industrial area.
In Italy, fast U. S. and British
motorized columns and low-flying
planes shot up retreating Nazi troop
columns falling back on the Alps
to the north. Italian partisans fast
took over administration of this last
stronghold of Mussolini's.

POSTWAR SECURITY:
Discztss Terms
As delegates from 46 United Nations fashioned a postwar organization to keep the peace at the San
Francir.co conference, they pondered amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan, serving as a basis
for sue h a body.
Foremost among the amendments
were those proposed by China
and suppOlLed by the U. S., Britain
and Russia calling for the application of justice and international law
in settlement of disputes; the referral of changes or development of
such law to the assembly of the
security organization, and the addi·
tion of educational and cultural cooperation to the postwar body's responsibilities.
With the U. S., Britain, Russia,
China and France dominating the

Bombshell

With Marshal Henri Petain still
commanding a large following,
France seethed as the 89-year-old
hero of Verdun of World War I and
collaborationist of World War II
voluntarily returned to his native
country to stand
trial on charges of
plotting against the

after h1s country's
downfall in 1940 for a cooperative
policy with the enemy which his followers aver was necessary for him
to obtain fair treatment for the
stricken nation.
Declaring that at his age one had
only to fear a failure to perform
his duty, Petain said he was returning for trial not only to clear
his own honor, but also to protect
all of his followers. The peculiarity
of the Marshal's position is exemplified by the fact that some
of his reforms have been earned
over by the De Gaulle government.

MEAT·

•

Supply Cut
Ringing true to predictions that
the meat situation would grow even
tighter, OPA revealed a 21,2 per cent
cut in supplies this month from April,
with slightly more veal, lamb, mutton and pork offset by about 9,000,000 pounds less beef.
At the same time, OPA announced
that rationing would be extended to
cover 99~ per cent of all available
meat items, with only about 5,000,000 pounds of mutton left on a pomtfree basis. Cull and utility grades
of veal and lamb and the breasts,
shanks, necks and flanks of those
meats were put on the red-point
list.
So that the amount of red points
would jibe with the available supplies of meat, point values were
upped, with increases of from one
to two points a pound for most cuts
of all grades of lamb and veal and
one point a pound on most beef
steaks .. Utility grades of veal and
lamb will possess the same ratJOn
values as the better types.

Keep Troops Moving
Approximately 38,500,000 troops
were carried by rail in organized
movements from Pearl Harbor
to the end of February, 1945,
the Association of American
Railroads discloses.
This number, it is said, does
not include the millions of others
traveling under orders in smaller groups or the millions of
servicemen and women commuting on furloughs.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.-There
is something significant, I believe,
in the fact that this world conference which hopes to plot a happier
course for the future of the world
is being held at the Golden Gate.
I can't help contrasting the atmos·
phere with that which enveloped the
gathering on the banks of the Seine
26 years ago, which I also covered.
I think there is much more hope
for success for this gathering
than there was for the Paris con·
ference two decades ago, although
most of us who crowded into its
opening session on the Quai d'Orsay
in Paris on a sunny January day in
1919, were well supplied with hope,
too.
I think the meeting place was well
chosen and if the agenda becomes
unfinished business, it might well
be concluded on the same spot where
the clean fog sweeps in from the
Pacific whose wide waters unite the
east and the west.
There still lingers on California's
shores the memory of its multifold
historical national contacts. It was
here in ·'Drake's Bay" that the fa.
mous English explorer is said to
have stopped to repair his ship I
say was Drake's bay for later, Cermeno. the Span 1·ard, on a voyage
from Manila in 1595, was ship·
wrecked in the same body of watel. and gave I.t 1'ts present name of
San Francisco bay. The Franciscan
missionaries built missions a muleday's journey apart from southern
to northern California. The sword
followed the cross and Portola's
Spanish soldiers fought their way
up to what is still called the Praesidio, the very year the American
nation was born.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD, CRETE. ILL.

~

tJIOf?eA:

Looking at
THE STORY THUS FAR: The Amerl·
ca,n ttoopJ arrived at Adano, a .eaport
i11 Italy, with Major VIctor loppolo, the
Amgot officer In charce. Sergeant Leon·
ard Borth, an M.P., wu to be In char'e
of security. Tho Major 1el out lmmedl·
.ately to win the frlend1hlp of the cltl·

ilnd out wbat the citizens needed tbe
most. He 10011 determJnecf to replace

l\lajor Joppolo found that the bell wu
the very 1ymbol of their private and
civic Ufe ln Adaoo. Be determined to
•ecure a bell 1aUsfactory to the people.

CHAPTER lD
Craxi said: "I needed no bell. I
-was on the beach to we1come the
Americans. My woman was with
me, the formidable Margherita, and
my seven children. We were on the
beach in spite of the shooting, to
greet the Americans. But what did
my children shout? They did not
shout: 'We miss the tinkling of the
bell.' They shouted: 'Caramelle!
Caramelle!' They were hungry.
They wanted candy. I myself, who
had had enough to eat as it happens,
shouted for cigarettes, not for the
pealing of a bell.''
Borth and the usher Zito came
back. Borth said: "It's nifty, Major. All the records are intact. They
tell everything. There are lists of
anti-Fascists and lists of those who
were enthusiastic and the others
who were lukewarm. There's a dossier on each important person. It's
perfect. Who are these guys?"
Cacopardo said: "Cacopardo is
my name, at your service, sir. Cacopardo is sulphur and sulphur is
Cacopardo.''
Borth said: "I remember that
name. In the records it says Cacopardo's crazy.''
Craxi said: "That is true. He
thinks that bells are more important than food.''
Borth turned on Craxi in mock
anger. '·1\nd who is this?"
Craxi was apologetic again: "I
am anti-Fascist. Craxi. I believe
in food for the moment.''
Major Joppolo said: "They are
arguing which is more important,
food or restoring the bell. Since we
·obviously can't do anything about
the bell just now, food is our concern.''
Craxi looked very proud of himself, but Cacopardo turned to Zito
and said: "We will leave this matter to the son of Rosa who was the
wife of Zito. What do you say,
small Zito, do you consider the food,
or the bell more important?"
Surprisingly Zito said: "I think
i.he bell.''
Major Joppolo was interested by
this. He leaned forward and said:
"Why, Zito?"
Zito said: "Because the tone of
the bell was so satisfactory."
"No," said C9copardo, "it is bec::~use of the history of the bell.
When the bell spoke, our fathers and
their fathers far back spoke to us.''
Even Craxi was swept into this
argument. "No," he said, "it was
because the bell rang the times of
day. It told us when to do things,
.such as eating. It told us when to
have the morning egg and when to
have pasta and rabbit and when to
drink wine in the evening.''
Zito said: "I think it was the tone
which m9ttered. It soothed all the
people of this town. It chided those
who were angry, it cheered the unhappy ones, it even laughed with
those who were drunk. It was a tone
for everybody.''
Giuseppe came in bringing the
priest. Father Pensovecchio was
gray-haired and cheerful, and as he
approached the group around the
Major's desk he made a motion with
his right hand which might have
been interpreted either as a blessing or as a Fascist salute.
After the introductions, Major
.Joppolo said to the priest: "Father,
we are speaking of the old bell
which was taken away.''
Father Pensovecchio said: "That
is the disgrace of this town. I have
in my church a bell which is just as
loud as the one which was taken
away, though not so sweet and much
younger and altogether meaningless
as a bell. Any other bell would
have done as well in my belfry. I
wanted to send my bell. But the
Monsignor would not permit it. The
Monsignor is the uncle of the Mayor.
He has reasons for doing the things
he does-" Father Pensovecchio
·crossed himself, indicating that the
things which the Monsignor did were
somewhat ugly; "-but in this case
1 believe he was wrong."
Borth said: "It's ridiculous. There
are lots of things more important
than this bell. Get them some food
and don't forget that alleyway.''
Major Joppolo said: "All the
same, the bell is important to
them." And he said then in Italian:
"Thank you for telling me about
the bell. I promise you that I will
do all I can to get another bell
which will have some meaning as a
bell and will have a good tone
and its history will be that it was
given to you by the Americans to
take the place of the one which was
taken away by the Fascists to make
gun barrels."
Cacopardo said: "You are kind.''
Craxi said: "I thank you, Mister
Major, and I kiss your hand."
Major Joppolo said: "You what?"
Cacopardo the historian said: "He
meant nr offense. 11 is an old cus-

tom here. Once the Important people make us kiss their hands, and
later when the actual kissing became too much of a bother, it became the habit merely to mention
the kissing, as if it had been done."
Craxi said: "I meant no offense,
Mister Major. I am anti-Fascist.''
Major Joppolo said: "It appears
that everyone in this town is antiFascist. Well, we will see about
the bell. Now I wish to speak alone
with the priest. Zito, you may stay.
You are my usher. Giuseppe, you
may stay. You are my interpreter.''
Craxi said: "Mister Major, the
telegram."
Major J oppolo said: "I will try
to send it.''
Craxi mentioned the kissing
again, and turned to go.
When the others had gone, Major
Joppolo said to Father Pensovecchio: "Father, I wish to tell you that
the Americans want to bring only
good to this town. As in every nation, there are some bad men in
America. It is possible that some
Americans who come here will do
bad things. If they do, I can assure you that most of the Americans will be just as asharned of
those things as you are annoyed by
them.''
Father Pensovecchio said: "I
think we will understand weakness
in your men just as we try to understand it in our own."
Major Joppolo said: "Thank you.
Father, I have been told that you
are the best priest in Adano.''
The priest said with quite honest
modesty: "I am here to do my
duty.''
Major Joppolo said: "Therefore I
should like to ask a favor of you.

Blood and wind rushed into his
throat and his throat roared.
You must feel perfectly free to refuse me if you wish. I should like
to ask you to say a few words before your mass tomorrow morning
about the Americans. I shall leave
it to you to say what you wish, if
you will merely add that there are
certain proclamations which the
Americans have posted which ought
to be read."
Father Pensovecchio said: "That
I can easily do."
Major J oppolo said: "I myself
am a Catholic. If you will have
me, I should like to attend your
mass."
The priest said: "It will be a
pleasure to have you." Major Joppolo was glad that he did not say it
would be an honor.
Major Joppolo said: "I shall see
you tomorrow then.''
Father Pensovecchio said, just to
make sure: "At the Church of San
Angelo. It is by the Piazza of that
name. At seven in the morning.
Until then, son."
When the priest had left, Giuseppe
said in his brand of English: "You
doing okay, a boss. All you got a
do now is fix a food."
"Yes," said Major Joppolo, "food.
We'll go to the ba~eries. But first,
do you have a cner here?"
Giuseppe said to Zito in Italian:
"What ·is the name of the crier?
Did he run into the hills with the
others?"
Zito said: "No, he is here. Mercurio Salvatore. H~ is here. Only,
Mister Major, he does not always
say exactly what you tell him to
say. He will say the general meaning of what you wish, but he will
change it some. Even if you write
it down, he will change it some."
Major Joppolo said: "Will you get
him, please, Zito? I want to send
him out to tell the people to read the
proclamations."
Zito went. Major Joppolo said to
Giuseppe: "We will go to the bakeries, then we will post the proclamations."
Giuseppe said: "Okay, a boss."
Major Joppolo looked down at his
desk and saw Craxi's telegram. He
undid the safety pin and unfolded
the paper and read:
"To Franklin D. Roosevelt, Capi-

tol Building, Washington, D. C. Fremente di gioia per Ia liberta da molto tempo attesa che i vostri valorosi
soldati anno dato alla citta d' Adano
stop vi prego accettare i sentimenti
sinceri della mia gratitudine e riconoscenza. Antifascista Giovanni
La Concetta fu Craxi.''
"Giuseppe," the Major said, "let's
see how good you are as an Interpreter. Now, this is for President
Roosevelt. You must make it as
eloquent as you can. What does it
say?"
"To Franklin D. Roosevelt and a
so forth," said Giuseppe. "Crazy
with joy because of a liberty so long
time awaited which your brave a
soldier have a give to a town of
Adano. What's a stop?"
"That's just the end of a sentence, Giuseppe."
"End a sentence. I beg a you
accept a sincere sentiments of my
gratitude and a r~cognition. Signed
a this Craxi. You going to deliver
it, a boss?"
"Sure," the Major said, "the President will be glad to hear."
Mercurio Salvatore, crier of the
tcawn of Adano. took a little time to
llhow up, because he had to get into
his uniform. His face was happy
when he did arrive, because he had
thought that his crying days were
over. Having been a voice of Fascism for seventeen years, he thought
that the newcomers would not want
his loud shouts. He had taken his
uniform off and h;r!nen it in the
house of Carmelina the wife of Fatta. He had then awkwardly paraded himself in civilian c-lnthes and
the people, having seen him in uniform for seventeen years, laughed
at him.
"Where is the crier?" they asked
each other in his presence.
"He has disappeared into the
clothes of Fatta which do not fit
him," they shouted, and laughed.
Therefore Mercurio Salvatore was
happy and grateful when he presented himself to Major Joppolo. "I
am glad to be able to serve you and
I kiss your hand," he said in his
husky voice. Indoors he had learned
to speak in a kind of whisper, because he knew the strength of his
throat.
If Major Joppolo had been any
other American officer, he would
have laughed outright at Mercurio
Salvatore.
He said: "Crier, I have a job for
you. I must explain this to you:
the Americans are different from
the Fascists. They are different in
many ways. For this reason there
will be quite a few changes in Adano. I hope that they will be changes
for the better."
Mercurio Salvatore said: "Yes,
Mister Major," to show that he
would remember every word of it.
The Major said: "In order to explain some of these changes, I am
going to post at various prominent
places around the town a number of
proclamations, which will make everything clear. All I want you to do
is to tell the people to read these
proclamations. ImJlress on them
that the penalties for not obeying
the Pr&lt;ilclamations will be severe.
That is all."
Mercurio Salvatore looked disappointed. "That is not much to
shout," he said.
Major Joppolo said: "Shall I name
a new crier?"
Mercurio Salvatore said quickly:
"Oh no, Mister Major, I will make
something beautiful of what you
have said."
Major Joppolo said: "The proclamations will be posted before five
o'clock this afternoon.''
Mercurio Salvatore said: "Yes,
Mister Major," and left.
He picked up his drum where he
had left it outside the Major's office.
Ordinarily he had rriade his first
cry in the Piazza Progresso, right
in front of the Palazzo, but this time
he was self-conscious, and wanted
to have a few tries before crying
within earshot of the Major. Therefore ~e went first to the park opposite the Cathedral.
He rolled his drum long and
sharply.
He took a deep breath. Blood and
wind rushed into his throat, and his
throat roared: "Well, you laughed.
But you can see that Mercurio Salvatore is still your crier. The Americans are friends of Mercurio Salvatore. The Americans wish to be
your friends, too. You have been
expecting the Americans for some
time, but did you expect the changes
which would come after the Americans? Did you know that they were
going to change many things after
they came? Did you know that they
were going to change practically
everything except the crier? Well,
your crier is here to tell you this."
Now Mercurio Salvatore filled his
lungs and bellowed: "Opposite me
I see Carmelina the wife of Fatta
in front of her house. I also see the
lazy Fatta leaning against the wall
of his wife's house. The crier wishes
to thank Carmelina for storage of
his uniform during the difficult time
of the invasion. He wishes also to
address a few words to her lazy
husband. It is unfortunate, lazy Fatta, that you never learned to read.
It is too bad that you were too slothful to memorize the letters of the
alphabet. This afternoon you would
have had a chance to read of the
changes which our friends the
Americans intend to bring about
here in Adano.

TRU:MANS TAKE OVER
THE WHITE HOUSE

THE DANCE is not only one of
the seven lively arts; it's
threatening to become the liveliest.
In the movies it's always an upand - down career, if not actually
tough going. Our
producers have
doled it out in
fits and starts-a
number here, a
finale there - as
if they were
afraid we could
not take it in
more than fiveminute doses. And
except for t h e

musicals and an
occasional "Cover Girl" we've had
mighty few that can really be described as dancing films.
In this connection, the late Mark
Sandrich was one of those rare producer - directors who had enough
foresight to cry, "On with the
dance!" He did the best of those
delightful ballroom romances with

award next year. Why not? Set designers do.

Incidentally, one of the breathtaking innovations of this war was the
creation of artificial harbors on the
Normandy coast to permit unloading of troops and supplies for the
invasion of France. Thirty-two obsolete or badly damaged vessels
were sun!~ to form breakwaters,
buttressed by concrete piers constructed especially for the purpose
in England and towed across the
channel by tugs. One thousand merchant seamen volunteered for the
task . The artificial harbors replaced

trained more than 190,000 Americans
as officers and seamen to m.an our
wartime merchant fleet.
These 190,000 Americans who volunteered their service to their country are civilians and have no military status. But they have heroically
risked. their lives just as much as
have our soldiers, sailors, marines
and coastguardsmen who have met
the enemy in mortal combat on
land, on sea and in the air. Despite
the fact that improveme.nt in methods of protecting Allied convoys and
of curbing the submarine m enace
had greatly reduced the hazards of
sailing in 1944, the fact remains
that up to April, 1945, the merchant
marine has suffered 6,057 casualties
-5,522 dead and missing and 535
prisoners of war. And it is significant too that the merchant marine
distinguished service medal, awarded for outstanding acts of heroism
by merchant seamen, has been presented to more than 100 of these
merchant seamen for action after
September l, 1939.
All of which are reasons- though
there are many, many morewhy all Americans should join in
honoring these valiant fighters for
freedom on National Maritime Day,
May 22.
Ready for sea-and ready to learn.
At the gates of Sheepshead bay, the
world's greatest merchant marine
training station, outgoing U.S. maritime service trained apprentice seamen greet incoming class of eager
enrollees. To man the greatest merchant marine in history, the War
Shipping administration created unprecedented facilities for training
inexperienced and upgrading experienced men.-(War Shipping Ad·

In immunizing his puppy against
distemper, the dog owner has his
choice of several methods, any one of
which is helpful in controlling the
disease. The best time for immimization is when the puppy is three to
four months of age. Usually there are
two injections of vaccine or serum
two weeks or so apart, with a final
administration of living virus. The
dog to be inoculated should be free

him. If he !"us a wife and child
and an aged p&lt;:rent to suppot1, each
individual must subs1st on about $10
a week.
How well the people of any nation
live is a similar matter. It dept•nds
upon the nat10na. income and how
it is dividt&gt;d. Just like family income, national income changes from
year to year and it is not always
divided the same way. National incr.mc is the grand total of what everybody in the nation earns. It includes all wages, sularies, farm
yields, interest, rents, profits and
dividends.
How About Now?
The United States Department of
Commerce keeps track of our national income figures pretty well,
yt-ar by year. Already we know that
the income of all Americans totaled
J60.1l billion do'lars in J!l44 and that
\'.OJke1·s got 72% of it, or 116 billion
dollars. By "workers,'' I mean people who draw wages and small
c:lerical salanes. Corporation profits that year ran just under ten bilhon dollars or 6%.
There is a popular notion that people who work don't get very much of
the fruits of their toil. Not long ago
somebody repeated a 40-year-old
Pl£&gt;ce of political propaganda to me,
IJpJieving it every word. He said,
"Here in America 2% of the people
have 90','o of the wealth." There is
not much to say about this statement: It is not true. It has never
ueen nearly true.
Official Figures
Last year the national-income dollar went like this: 72c to American
workers, 6c to corporations, 8c to
small businesses in the form of profit, 7c to tanners as return on what
they produced, and another 7c to
landowners and stockholders in the
form af rents and dividends, and
tn money lenders in the form of
interest. Of course all years aren't
alike but they vary less than you
might think.
·
Nntional income bobs up and
down but people who work always
get most of it. Back in 1939, which
was a typical pre-war year, our nat onel income was not half as high
.,s last year's; 70.8 billion dollars to
bt exact. Then, workers got 68%
of 1t and 6% was corporation profit;
not r..uch change in how the income
wa_ d1vided, but Jess than half as
much actual money for everybody.
· Ancient History
B&lt;~Lk in 1929, the year Hoover succeeded Coolidge as Pres ident, national income was 83.3 billion dollars; bigger then, than in 1939. Corporation profits were higher-9% as
against 6% in recent years. But
wage earners and office help were
getting 64% of national income, even
then. In 1932 (the depression) wher.
corporations generally earned 9%
less than nothing, wages climbed to
97% and still some working people
went hungry.
Any fair analysis of national in- •
come figures over a period of years
leads to this observation: workers,
laborers and clerical people, get
more money with the slightly smaller percentage of a big national income than with the bigger percentage of a small national income.
The moral is perfectly clear. We
will all fare better working tC'gether
for a big national income than by
wrangling about who gets most of
it, and then having a small one,~~~

in Feed
Well over 700.000 tons (14 .000,000
bags) of commercially mi~:ccl fel'd '
containing urea 11s an i11grPdicnt
were fed to ruminants in the U11itPd
States during the past year 1vith
satisfactory results. according to a
statement compiled by a special
committee selected to review technical and practical backgrounds of
urea feeding. Extensive studies at
leading agricultural colleges and experiment stations in the United
States demonstrate without exception that urea, in scientifically safe
amounts, is properly assimilated,
the committee said. It can efficiently replace a limited portion of the
normal protein in the diet of such
ruminants as dairy cows, growing
heifers, steers and range cattle.

Sandpapering Shine
When• clothes shine results from
wear, sandpaper's abrasive action
may raise a garment's nap again.
However, the remedial effect will be
only temporary and the fabric
be permanently weakened. Light
scorch effects may be removed
by sandpaper, whereas deeper ones
will be impossible to remove. And
an undesirable weakening of the
fabric which may develop into a
hole simply cannot be avoided where
sandpaper has been used. Removal
of heavy-scorch is generally not attempted even by professional cleaners. They can, however, often successfully treat the shine caused by
faulty pressing at home. Often, too,
light scorches can be removed by
1means of an oxidizing agent.

Besides serving as a base for perful'1es, balsam of Peru has many
-nd 1•aried ur.es in the medical
field. Both its internal and external
usLJge are important. In the treatment of wounds, this Salvadorean
product has had the most notable
effects. It is said that the first
preparation of balsam was invented
by Don Josr Eustaquio de Leon of
Guatemala but, only a few years
ago, several Europeans, among
which were Dr. Dumont and Dr.
Suter discovered its application in
connection with the dressing of
wounds. Their process "consists
merely in drenching the wound with
balsam and then covering it with a
sterilized bandage." Word has been
received from first-aid stations in
battlefronts all over the world,
telling of the wonders of this medic: nent thanks to · which "many
hves have been saved by the quick
application of a protective coat of
this antiseptic to the surface of
wounds." The war has placed balsam of Peru in the front lines of
the battle against pain and infecJlion .

Ease Wash Job
Scientists who have studied the
washday job suggest "wheeling"
loads of clothes rather than lifting
and carrying them in the laundry
and to the line. A bench or box
fitted with casters will hold the basket, hamper or tub in the laundry or
near the wash place if work is done
outdoors. Other suggestions are that
one stand erect at work, sort clothes
on a table instead of the floor and
place blocks of wood under legs of
washing machine or wash bench to
bring it to the most comfortable
height. This will save one-third of
the energy required to put them on
the line. A bag for clothes pins, with
a draw cord so as to hang in the
most convenient place or to be
sewed onto a clothes hanger and
slipped along the line saves steps.
A clothes line should be about 6
feet high for the average woman
and should be tight, to save
"stretch" in hanging out clothes.

Valuable Vegetable
Spinach may not be the wonderful food that makes Popeye do the
feats of strength shown in the cartoons, but it is a valuable item in
our vegetable diet, nevertheless.
That it is a popular vegetable with
Americans is shown by the fact
that its consumption has increased
about five times in the last 20
years. Moreover, it is one of the
best and most easily grown of our
;1 c' m;non greens. As a commercial
crop spinach has many advan!ages. It is hardy and may· be
grown somewhere in the United
States during all 12 months of the
year. It lends itself to iced shipping
very easily, and when frozen is so
good that the sales of frozen spinach in many places are larger than
those of fresh spinach. It may also
be cunned, but canned spinach is
generally thought to be quite inferior to either the fresh or the
frozen product.
Wash !\lachine Care
Don't think you arc giving your
washing machine all the care it
need&gt; just by keeping the machinery
properly oiled and greased. Correct
, lubrication is essential for satisfactory operation, but complete cleanliness is equally important.
Your washing machine should be
cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Pour in about a pail of clean hot
water and let the machine run a
couple of minutes. Drain, and wipe
dry the mside of the tub and the
metal parts.
Always loosen the wringer and
vvipe the rollers dry. Wipe the entire
outside of the machne with a sudsy
cloth and then go over it with a
dry cloth. When not in use, the
washing machine shou1d be protected from dust and dirt with a
cloth or cover.

�THE RECORD, CRETE. ILL.

.----VICTORY IN EUROPE, _ _____,

Germany Forced to Capitulate
Mter Six Years of Fighting;
Allies Face Big Job in Pacific
Eleven hard and bitter months after General Dwight D. Eisenhower's armies smashed through the ramparts of "Fortress
Europe" to set foot upon French soil, Germany's once proud
wehrmacht, weakened after six years of the bloodiest war in history, bowed the knee unconditionally to the Allied powers.
Offered to Russia as well as the U. S. and Britain after earlier
futile efforts to split the Allies by approaching the Anglo-Americans alone, Germany's surrender took place at General Eisenhower's headquarters in the little red school house in Reims,

France, at 2:41a.m., May 7, with Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith
accepting Col. Gen. Gustav Jodi's capitulation. Later the surrender was ratified at Russian headquarters in battered Berlin,
with Marshal Gregory Zhukov participating for the Reds.
Grand Adm. Karl Doenitz's order to German troops to cease
firing came as a sort of anti-climax since the bulk of the Nazi
forces already had laid down their arms in the faee of the Allied
avalanche. April29, 1,000,000 Nazis surrendered in northern Italy
and western Austria; May 4, another 1,000,000 gave up in Holland
and Denmark, and on May 5, 400,000 quit in southern Germany.

Bell /Or Adano~

John Herse11J '"'-'
THE STORY THUS FAR: The Amerl·
can trooJ)f arrived at Adaoo, a seaport
Jn Italy, with Major Victor Joppolo, the
Amgot omcer In charge. Sergeant Borth,
.an M.P., was to be ln charge or security.
"rbe Major 1et oat Immediately to win
~he friendship of the citizens, and to lm·
))rove their living conditions. De deter·
mined to replace their bell, which the
·Germans had taken.
Mll)or Joppolo
"talked with Father Pensovecchlo, the
town•• leadlnr priest. He explained to
lhe priest what be wanted to accomplish
tor the people of Adano, :.nd secured the
-promhe of the priest to call attention,
.at mass, to tbe posted clvll Instructions.
'The Major promised the priest that be
would attend mass the nex~ day.

CHAPTER IV
"You could have read the proclamations which our friends will post,
Fatta. You would not have had
anything to lean against wh.ile rea?ing because the proclamations w11l
be posted on the walls upon which
you depend. The hour of the reading, that is to say about five o'clock,
would have been bad for you, be&lt;:ause it is the hour when you are
overcome with energy and are ~ble
to lift a bottle of wine to your bps.
"But the others will read, Fatta.
'They will learn that the Americans
.are our friends. They will learn of
the changes. They will know w.hat
to do. They will avoid the punishments. For them, Adana will be a
new town, and life will be different.
For you, it will be the same. You
will do wrong, and you will be punjshed. Adano will still be a place of
iear.
"Look at the lazy Fatta, people!
Do not be like him. Read the
proclamatior:s.
Acquaint yourself
with the new Adano! I have cried."
And Mercurio Salvatore moved
the drum around behind him and
marched off to the several other
places convenient for shouting, and
in his own way he told the people
about the changes which were to
come.
Father Pensovecchio could not remember when so many people had
come to the Church of San Angelo.
It was a pleasure, certainly it was
.a pleasure, to have so many come to
the Church of San Angelo.
But now Father Pensovecchio had
.a thought which made him very uneasy. What if the Mister Major
should not come? Think of the
shame. Think of how the other
priests would laugh. Think how this
vanity, this large crowd, would complain. Think of how his own faithful would flock on later Sundays to
the other churches. Think of preaching to empty pews.
It was already five minutes past
-seven. The senior acolyte had already whispered in his ear that it
was time to begin the mass. And
the Mister Major had not come.
The Mister Major, at that mo·
ment, was sitting in his office having a breakfast of fruit and discussing with Borth and with the usher
Zito, who never went to church,
the matter of the bell. Major Joppolo sat with his fee t on the huge
desk eating fruit, Borth sat on the
end of the desk also eating, and
the little Zito stood at attention in
front of it, not eating but wishing
he were.
In the Church of San Angelo,
meanwhile, Father Pensovecchio
was growing frantic. Most of the
heads in his, crowd, his lovely
crowd, kept turning toward the door
instead of facing the silver crucifix
which survived the fire of 1553.
In his office Major Joppolo said:
"They took the bell away on the
fourteenth of June. That is a month
less two days. That is not so much
time. Considering how things are
done in our Army, perhaps not much
has been done with the bell. Where
was it sent, Zito?"
Zito said: "To the provincial government at the town of Vicinamare."
Major Joppolo said: "Perhaps it
got no farther. Perhaps the bell is
still sitting in its crate in Vicinamare."
Zito grew excite d: "Do you think
that is possible?" he asked.
The Major said: "It is possible.
We must find out."
And he took a piece of foolscap
from his brief case and began a
letter:
''To: Lt. Col. R. N. Sartorius,
C.A.O., Vicinamare, Prov. of Vicinamare.
"From : Major V. Joppolo, C.A.O.,
Adano, Prov. of Vicinamare.
"Re: Bell belonging to town of
Adana.
•·undersigned would very much
appreciate your initiating investigation of records of provincial government of Vicinamare to see if you
can trace . . . . "
The service in the Church of San
Angelo was taking a most unus ual
course. Having completed the supplication,
Father
Pensovecchio
started reciting the Litany of Saint
Joseph. It was the longest litany
he could think of offhand, and he
repeated the words without any
sense of their meaning.
"Joseph, most valiant, Joseph,
most obedient, Joseph, most faithful, mirror of patience, lover of poverty, model of workmen, ornament
of the domestic life, guardian of
virgins, safeguard of families. . . . "
Suddenly Father Pensovecchio
broke off. He had had an idea. He
beckoned again to the senior acolyte and whispered in his ear:
"Have ol:1 Guzzo ring the bell."
"Now, father?TI

Care in Applying
Dust Essential
Particular care should be taken in
applying poisonous insecticides and
fungicides in excessive quantities.
Also care should be taken that all
poison spray or dust is thoroughly
and carefully removed from the foliage of any vegetable before it is
prepared for food.
Every gardener should have
available, even before he starts
his planting, a duster or spray.
er !or applying insecticides and
fuagicides. For small gardens, a
duster is probably preferable because use of dust is easier than
the preparation and handling of
sprays.
Important, is to be ready for the
bugs when they arrive. Of course,
we cannot set down her~ the proper
preventive or cure for all disease
and insect p ests. But start fighting at the first sign of damage to the
crop.

why did he not send some of his
military police after him? It did
not suit his office to cl;lase Zito himself, especially since it was unlikely
that he would catch him.
The acolyte Ludovico, sitting on
the steps of the Church, looked up
in amazement at the little Italian being chased by the American officer.
He wondered why the American was
chasing the Italian. The pair had
run right past Ludovico up the steps
of the Church before it occurred to
him that perhaps this was the American Major. He got up quickly and
ran up the steps after the two of
them, but he was too late; they were
already inside the door.
The entire congregation stood up.
The lazy Fatta even stopped leaning against the pillar. There was a
considerable amount of murmuring,
and as the Major walked up the
aisle, puffing and wiping the sweat
from his face, many people whispered: "Kiss your hand, kiss your
hand."
As soon as he saw a pew that was
not too crowded, Major Joppolo genuflected !md slid into it. Zito imitated him and squeezed into the
same pew, which was too crowded
then.
The congregation seated itself.
Father Pensovecchio cleared his
throat. His confidence, which had
very nearly left him, was now very
much in evidence. He had his crowd
and be h ad his Major.
Major Joppolo couldn't help noticing two heads in the pew right in
front of him. One was the head of
a man, and it was bald . The other
was the head of a woman, and it
was blonde.
By tilting his head a very little
bit, Major Joppolo was able to find
out that the bald head belonged to
his interpreter, Giuseppe. He was
not able, by tilting, to see the face
of the blonrle head, but he could
see that the hair was arranged fastidiously, with no loose strands.
"If you remember," said the
priest, "we were told that Americans attacked priests and attacked
and killed women, and were all
Protestants. But right here now is
an America11 of Italian descent who
is attending mass, and is just as
reverent as you are toward the

the answer is obvious, but you must

Werewolves syrnbo ,;:e a trJ1itional manifcstatio'1 of dep ·a\•ed. carniverous appetites. BP11c f in werewolves still exist:; in !'Ome p· rts of
Europe today, and a wcrnvolf is
generally thought to be a man or

some other vicious animal. Frequently the irdi\"idual actually belit&gt;ves himself to have been transformed into an anirPal.

for a time. When his soul returns
to 'its human body the victim is ex
hausted and aches as though hE&gt; had
experienced violent exercise. Thi8
foqn is connected with a popular
belief in vampires.
Werewolves seem to have been
particularly active in France auring the 16th century. Signtfkantly,
however, Encyclop&lt; ~dw Britannica
tells of French court carEs in 138D
and 1603 in which c:on\"icted werewolves were trc&lt;ttcrl as ins::uw and
not as mrt: -h:Y &gt;ic,d degenerate;,

Whether you are 16 or 60, you can
have well-groomed hair. Keep it
clenn and well-brushed. For a sham~oo, simmer one-eighth of a cake of
soap in one pint of hot water until
the soap is dissolved. Add one teaspoonful of borax and one tablespoonful of alcohol.
If you have to use hard water
to wash your hair, try a rinse of
lemon juice or vinegar; that helps to
remove the soap curd formed by
hard water. Lemon is also a mild
blc&gt;ach. Us!' the juice of one-half
lemon or two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar in one quart of water. Follow thts with a clear rinse.
One of the first steps to overcome the dullness of hair is to
'Jrush it. Brushing sUmulates the
glands of the scalp and makes
the hair shine. Do not brush the
1air flatly to the head, but rather
up and out. Bend from the hips
and brush the hair from the
nape of the neck forward. Then
separate the hair into small strands
and brush away from the scalp.
Wipe the brush on a towel after
each strand is brushed. To remove

We at Heidelberg were the stucicnt
duels. There were fencing bouts
among the five rival corps, each
with distinctive caps. A facial
scar became a badge of honor. The
duelling "grounds" were near the
Scheffclhaus, at the north end of
the old arched bridge in the
quaint residential section of Heidelberg. One scene of "The Student
Prince" was laid in the beer garden of the Scheffelhaus. Most popular with the students was the tuneful and rollicking drinking song
from the musical comedy.
To the south the old moated castle
of Heidelberg stood out from its

fortresses and palaces of past centuries. The castle was largely dcst:·oyed in 1G93 by the French soldiers of Louis XIV. The castle was

Mocking Bird
"The mocking bird is one of the
r.1ost highly dev&lt;:-loped singers and
,1as one of the broadl'St repertoires," said National Audubon Oi·
'lcial Bert Hartwell of :'.1iallli, Fla.
To be £ure, the Audubon ofticial ad·
mitted. the mocking bird isn't above
lifting a few trills from l,;s f~\'th
ered neighbors, but he scrambles
the lot, interpolates a ge~erous portion of striclly original cadenzas and
weaves them into a distinctive song
all his own. "You can't mistake it
for ihc song of any other bird,''
Hartwell maintained.

Dry Shampoo Restores
Life to Window S.va e&lt;;
Non-washable window-shades can
bn freshened and often give &lt;tnr&gt;ther
year of usefulness by applying a
dry shampoo. To cleanse shades this
way, start by taking them dov·n
and dusting them on both sides.
For dry suds, boil one part of bar
or packaged soap with five parts
of water and cool until the mass
jt:lls. Then whip with an egg beater
until a dry lather is formed with
no liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Apply the dry suds with a soft
cloth or brush or sponge to a small
section of the shade. Rub lightly
and then wipe the suds off. Wipe
the area again \\::ith a cloth wrung
almost dry in clear warm water.
Rinse until all suds and soil have
been removed and wipe with a dry
cloth. Continue until the entire surface has been cleaned. Reverse the
s'1ade, and clean the otrer side tl'e
s.llne way. Ahva,vs overlap a little
when applying suds to avoid streak·
ing.

Model $21 House Gives
Mexican Indians Ideas
If someone offered you $21 on condition that you go out and buy yourself a house with it, you might not
appreciate the humor of the situation. Yet to an Indian family of
Ixcat0pec, a valley \'illage 60 miles
from Mexico City, $21 actually represents the price not of just a home,
but a model home at that.
When the Camohmila Rural Reconstruction center built such a
model house, all of the 25 families
of Ixcatepec came to gaze at it ir,
amazement. Three rooms of adobe,
with red-tiled roof, it had a kitchen
with a chimney, a bathroom, builtin cupboards, windows and a wooden floor. But not one of those Indian families could afford $21!
However, points out the InterAmerican magazine, the experiment
proved that a better way of life was
possible. The Indians began to improve their own homes by putting
in windows, dividing the customary
one large room into two, adding a
kitchen and a rudimentary bat~­
room.

Sparkling Windows Add
To Charm of Home
To make sure that windows will be
bright and clean, do not use soap
and water on the panes.
Soap
streaks the glass and is hard to rub
dry. Clear warm water can be'used
if the glass is not too dirty. If
grease and dirt cling to the panes,
add a little ammonia or alcohol to
the water to get the windows clean.
Use four tablespoons of dilute ammonia for each gallon of water.
Windows can be cleaned and
dried quickly and easily if"the water
or solution is sprayed on. The spray
gives a thin, even film of the liquid
all over the glass.
If you do not have a spray, tHe next
best way to wash windows is with
a chamois, which takes up water
quickly and thoroughly and leaves
no lint, as cloth often does. A
piece of chamois may also be used
to dry the windows. For windows
that are left open often, protect the
sills from rain spots and dust with
a coat of liquid wax, after washing
and drying the sill. Apply a thin
layer of wax, and polish until the
wax is hard enough to provide a
protective finish.

Good Seed
Does seed of oats, barley, wheat
and other farm grains actually "run
out?" A good many farmers believe it does. They think it's necessary to get new seed every few
years because, they say, their
seed "runs out." In other words, j
they believe that seed grown for a .
number of years on the same farm
loses its ability to yield satisfactorily. Agronomists say that there's
probably some foundation for such
a widespread belief because seed
on many farms does cease making
satisfactory yields. But, the reason

grain. It is their contention that I

Deficiency in Cattle

In cattle, probably the first
ticeable symptom of vitamin A deficiency is a cloudy condition of
the eyeball, and excess watering of
the eyes. There may be loss of appetite. Calves are commonly dead
or weak at birth. The cow may
have difficulty in r ·1· · ~g and
frequently retains the : lerbirth.
She may give little or no rrulk. Ewes
may have similar symptonfs, and in
addition may develop lambing
paralysis, with resulting loss of the
ewe and lambs. Good green hay, a
good source of carotene which is the
substance from which vitamin A is
produced in the animal's body, is
the preventive and the cure for
this condition. Brown or bleached
hay does not have enough garotene.

Incidentally, one of the breathtaking innovations of this war was the
creation of artificial harbors on the
Normandy coast to permit unloading of troops and supplies for the
invasion of France. Thirty-two obsolete or badly damaged vessels
were sun!~ to form breakwaters,
buttressed by concrete piers constructed especially for the purpose
in England and towed across the
channel by tugs. One thousand merchant seamen volunteered for the
task . The artificial harbors replaced

trained more than 190,000 Americans
as officers and seamen to m.an our
wartime merchant fleet.
These 190,000 Americans who volunteered their service to their country are civilians and have no military status. But they have heroically
risked. their lives just as much as
have our soldiers, sailors, marines
and coastguardsmen who have met
the enemy in mortal combat on
land, on sea and in the air. Despite
the fact that improveme.nt in methods of protecting Allied convoys and
of curbing the submarine m enace
had greatly reduced the hazards of
sailing in 1944, the fact remains
that up to April, 1945, the merchant
marine has suffered 6,057 casualties
-5,522 dead and missing and 535
prisoners of war. And it is significant too that the merchant marine
distinguished service medal, awarded for outstanding acts of heroism
by merchant seamen, has been presented to more than 100 of these
merchant seamen for action after
September l, 1939.
All of which are reasons- though
there are many, many morewhy all Americans should join in
honoring these valiant fighters for
freedom on National Maritime Day,

comparable illnesses. Nevertheless,
tlw e is a lesson for dog own'ers in

those all too common triangular rips
in sheets, baste or pin paper under them. Try to have the edges
meet, not overlap, and use \hread
for mending the same size as the
threads woven m the shcPts. If you
are mending by hand, use a running stitch back and forth across
the rip. If you use a machine, sew
a qua'rter of an inch beyond the rip
in each direction. Of course, you
then remove the paper.

It has been observed that puppies

In immunizing his puppy against
distemper, the dog owner has his
choice of several methods, any one of
which is helpful in controlling the
disease. The best time for immimization is when the puppy is three to
four months of age. Usually there are
two injections of vaccine or serum
two weeks or so apart, with a final
administration of living virus. The
dog to be inoculated should be free
of worms or rickets and in a state of
general good health.

National Income
How v:ell a man. lives is a matter
th .. t dep~r.ds large,y upon his int

SJ-~ndc; !:!Very lnt of it on himsrlf, he

t.u ul some unfore~een c Jnrruiy hits
him. If he !"us a wife and child
and an aged p&lt;:rent to suppot1, each
individual must subs1st on about $10
a week.
How well the people of any nation
live is a similar matter. It dept•nds
upon the nat10na. income and how
it is dividt&gt;d. Just like family income, national income changes from
year to year and it is not always
divided the same way. National incr.mc is the grand total of what everybody in the nation earns. It includes all wages, sularies, farm
yields, interest, rents, profits and
dividends.
How About Now?
The United States Department of
Commerce keeps track of our national income figures pretty well,
yt-ar by year. Already we know that
the income of all Americans totaled
J60.1l billion do'lars in J!l44 and that
\'.OJke1·s got 72% of it, or 116 billion
dollars. By "workers,'' I mean people who draw wages and small
c:lerical salanes. Corporation profits that year ran just under ten bilhon dollars or 6%.
There is a popular notion that people who work don't get very much of
the fruits of their toil. Not long ago
somebody repeated a 40-year-old
Pl£&gt;ce of political propaganda to me,
IJpJieving it every word. He said,
"Here in America 2% of the people
have 90','o of the wealth." There is
not much to say about this statement: It is not true. It has never
ueen nearly true.
Official Figures
Last year the national-income dollar went like this: 72c to American
workers, 6c to corporations, 8c to
small businesses in the form of profit, 7c to tanners as return on what
they produced, and another 7c to
landowners and stockholders in the
form af rents and dividends, and
tn money lenders in the form of
interest. Of course all years aren't
alike but they vary less than you
might think.
·
Nntional income bobs up and
down but people who work always
get most of it. Back in 1939, which
was a typical pre-war year, our nat onel income was not half as high
.,s last year's; 70.8 billion dollars to
bt exact. Then, workers got 68%
of 1t and 6% was corporation profit;
not r..uch change in how the income
wa_ d1vided, but Jess than half as
much actual money for everybody.
· Ancient History
B&lt;~Lk in 1929, the year Hoover succeeded Coolidge as Pres ident, national income was 83.3 billion dollars; bigger then, than in 1939. Corporation profits were higher-9% as
against 6% in recent years. But
wage earners and office help were
getting 64% of national income, even
then. In 1932 (the depression) wher.
corporations generally earned 9%
less than nothing, wages climbed to
97% and still some working people
went hungry.
Any fair analysis of national in- •
come figures over a period of years
leads to this observation: workers,
laborers and clerical people, get
more money with the slightly smaller percentage of a big national income than with the bigger percentage of a small national income.
The moral is perfectly clear. We
will all fare better working tC'gether
for a big national income than by
wrangling about who gets most of
it, and then having a small one,~~~

in Feed
Well over 700.000 tons (14 .000,000
bags) of commercially mi~:ccl fel'd '
containing urea 11s an i11grPdicnt
were fed to ruminants in the U11itPd
States during the past year 1vith
satisfactory results. according to a
statement compiled by a special
committee selected to review technical and practical backgrounds of
urea feeding. Extensive studies at
leading agricultural colleges and experiment stations in the United
States demonstrate without exception that urea, in scientifically safe
amounts, is properly assimilated,
the committee said. It can efficiently replace a limited portion of the
normal protein in the diet of such
ruminants as dairy cows, growing
heifers, steers and range cattle.
l'

Sandpapering Shine
When• clothes shine results from
wear, sandpaper's abrasive action
may raise a garment's nap again.
However, the remedial effect will be
only temporary and the fabric
be permanently weakened. Light
scorch effects may be removed
by sandpaper, whereas deeper ones
will be impossible to remove. And
an undesirable weakening of the
fabric which may develop into a
hole simply cannot be avoided where
sandpaper has been used. Removal
of heavy-scorch is generally not attempted even by professional cleaners. They can, however, often successfully treat the shine caused by
faulty pressing at home. Often, too,
light scorches can be removed by
1means of an oxidizing agent.

Besides serving as a base for perful'1es, balsam of Peru has many
-nd 1•aried ur.es in the medical
field. Both its internal and external
usLJge are important. In the treatment of wounds, this Salvadorean
product has had the most notable
effects. It is said that the first
preparation of balsam was invented
by Don Josr Eustaquio de Leon of
Guatemala but, only a few years
ago, several Europeans, among
which were Dr. Dumont and Dr.
Suter discovered its application in
connection with the dressing of
wounds. Their process "consists
merely in drenching the wound with
balsam and then covering it with a
sterilized bandage." Word has been
received from first-aid stations in
battlefronts all over the world,
telling of the wonders of this medic: nent thanks to · which "many
hves have been saved by the quick
application of a protective coat of
this antiseptic to the surface of
wounds." The war has placed balsam of Peru in the front lines of
the battle against pain and infecJlion .

Ease Wash Job
Scientists who have studied the
washday job suggest "wheeling"
loads of clothes rather than lifting
and carrying them in the laundry
and to the line. A bench or box
fitted with casters will hold the basket, hamper or tub in the laundry or
near the wash place if work is done
outdoors. Other suggestions are that
one stand erect at work, sort clothes
on a table instead of the floor and
place blocks of wood under legs of
washing machine or wash bench to
bring it to the most comfortable
height. This will save one-third of
the energy required to put them on
the line. A bag for clothes pins, with
a draw cord so as to hang in the
most convenient place or to be
sewed onto a clothes hanger and
slipped along the line saves steps.
A clothes line should be about 6
feet high for the average woman
and should be tight, to save
"stretch" in hanging out clothes.

Valuable Vegetable
Spinach may not be the wonderful food that makes Popeye do the
feats of strength shown in the cartoons, but it is a valuable item in
our vegetable diet, nevertheless.
That it is a popular vegetable with
Americans is shown by the fact
that its consumption has increased
about five times in the last 20
years. Moreover, it is one of the
best and most easily grown of our
;1 c' m;non greens. As a commercial
crop spinach has many advan!ages. It is hardy and may· be
grown somewhere in the United
States during all 12 months of the
year. It lends itself to iced shipping
very easily, and when frozen is so
good that the sales of frozen spinach in many places are larger than
those of fresh spinach. It may also
be cunned, but canned spinach is
generally thought to be quite inferior to either the fresh or the
frozen product.
Wash !\lachine Care
Don't think you arc giving your
washing machine all the care it
need&gt; just by keeping the machinery
properly oiled and greased. Correct
, lubrication is essential for satisfactory operation, but complete cleanliness is equally important.
Your washing machine should be
cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Pour in about a pail of clean hot
water and let the machine run a
couple of minutes. Drain, and wipe
dry the mside of the tub and the
metal parts.
Always loosen the wringer and
vvipe the rollers dry. Wipe the entire
outside of the machne with a sudsy
cloth and then go over it with a
dry cloth. When not in use, the
washing machine shou1d be protected from dust and dirt with a
cloth or cover.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD, CRETE. ILL.

.----VICTORY IN EUROPE, _ _____,

Germany Forced to Capitulate
Mter Six Years of Fighting;
Allies Face Big Job in Pacific
Eleven hard and bitter months after General Dwight D. Eisenhower's armies smashed through the ramparts of "Fortress
Europe" to set foot upon French soil, Germany's once proud
wehrmacht, weakened after six years of the bloodiest war in history, bowed the knee unconditionally to the Allied powers.
Offered to Russia as well as the U. S. and Britain after earlier
futile efforts to split the Allies by approaching the Anglo-Americans alone, Germany's surrender took place at General Eisenhower's headquarters in the little red school house in Reims,

France, at 2:41a.m., May 7, with Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith
accepting Col. Gen. Gustav Jodi's capitulation. Later the surrender was ratified at Russian headquarters in battered Berlin,
with Marshal Gregory Zhukov participating for the Reds.
Grand Adm. Karl Doenitz's order to German troops to cease
firing came as a sort of anti-climax since the bulk of the Nazi
forces already had laid down their arms in the faee of the Allied
avalanche. April29, 1,000,000 Nazis surrendered in northern Italy
and western Austria; May 4, another 1,000,000 gave up in Holland
and Denmark, and on May 5, 400,000 quit in southern Germany.

John Herse11J '"'-'
THE STORY THUS FAR: The Amerl·

Mll)or Joppolo

town•• leadlnr priest. He explained to
lhe priest what be wanted to accomplish
tor the people of Adano, :.nd secured the
-promhe of the priest to call attention,
.at mass, to tbe posted clvll Instructions.
'The Major promised the priest that be
would attend mass the nex~ day.

CHAPTER IV
"You could have read the proclamations which our friends will post,
Fatta. You would not have had
anything to lean against wh.ile rea?ing because the proclamations w11l
be posted on the walls upon which
you depend. The hour of the reading, that is to say about five o'clock,
would have been bad for you, be&lt;:ause it is the hour when you are
overcome with energy and are ~ble
to lift a bottle of wine to your bps.
"But the others will read, Fatta.
'They will learn that the Americans
.are our friends. They will learn of
the changes. They will know w.hat
to do. They will avoid the punishments. For them, Adana will be a
new town, and life will be different.
For you, it will be the same. You
will do wrong, and you will be punjshed. Adano will still be a place of
iear.
"Look at the lazy Fatta, people!
Do not be like him. Read the
proclamatior:s.
Acquaint yourself
with the new Adano! I have cried."
And Mercurio Salvatore moved
the drum around behind him and
marched off to the several other
places convenient for shouting, and
in his own way he told the people
about the changes which were to
come.
Father Pensovecchio could not remember when so many people had
come to the Church of San Angelo.
It was a pleasure, certainly it was
.a pleasure, to have so many come to
the Church of San Angelo.
But now Father Pensovecchio had
.a thought which made him very uneasy. What if the Mister Major
should not come? Think of the
shame. Think of how the other
priests would laugh. Think how this
vanity, this large crowd, would complain. Think of how his own faithful would flock on later Sundays to
the other churches. Think of preaching to empty pews.
It was already five minutes past
-seven. The senior acolyte had already whispered in his ear that it
was time to begin the mass. And
the Mister Major had not come.
The Mister Major, at that mo·
ment, was sitting in his office having a breakfast of fruit and discussing with Borth and with the usher
Zito, who never went to church,
the matter of the bell. Major Joppolo sat with his fee t on the huge
desk eating fruit, Borth sat on the
end of the desk also eating, and
the little Zito stood at attention in
front of it, not eating but wishing
he were.
In the Church of San Angelo,
meanwhile, Father Pensovecchio
was growing frantic. Most of the
heads in his, crowd, his lovely
crowd, kept turning toward the door
instead of facing the silver crucifix
which survived the fire of 1553.
In his office Major Joppolo said:
"They took the bell away on the
fourteenth of June. That is a month
less two days. That is not so much
time. Considering how things are
done in our Army, perhaps not much
has been done with the bell. Where
was it sent, Zito?"
Zito said: "To the provincial government at the town of Vicinamare."
Major Joppolo said: "Perhaps it
got no farther. Perhaps the bell is
still sitting in its crate in Vicinamare."
Zito grew excite d: "Do you think
that is possible?" he asked.
The Major said: "It is possible.
We must find out."
And he took a piece of foolscap
from his brief case and began a
letter:
''To: Lt. Col. R. N. Sartorius,
C.A.O., Vicinamare, Prov. of Vicinamare.
"From : Major V. Joppolo, C.A.O.,
Adano, Prov. of Vicinamare.
"Re: Bell belonging to town of
Adana.
•·undersigned would very much
appreciate your initiating investigation of records of provincial government of Vicinamare to see if you
can trace . . . . "
The service in the Church of San
Angelo was taking a most unus ual
course. Having completed the supplication,
Father
Pensovecchio
started reciting the Litany of Saint
Joseph. It was the longest litany
he could think of offhand, and he
repeated the words without any
sense of their meaning.
"Joseph, most valiant, Joseph,
most obedient, Joseph, most faithful, mirror of patience, lover of poverty, model of workmen, ornament
of the domestic life, guardian of
virgins, safeguard of families. . . . "
Suddenly Father Pensovecchio
broke off. He had had an idea. He
beckoned again to the senior acolyte and whispered in his ear:
"Have ol:1 Guzzo ring the bell."
"Now, father?TI

Care in Applying
Dust Essential
Particular care should be taken in
applying poisonous insecticides and
fungicides in excessive quantities.
Also care should be taken that all
poison spray or dust is thoroughly
and carefully removed from the foliage of any vegetable before it is
prepared for food.
Every gardener should have
available, even before he starts
his planting, a duster or spray.
er !or applying insecticides and
fuagicides. For small gardens, a
duster is probably preferable because use of dust is easier than
the preparation and handling of
sprays.
Important, is to be ready for the
bugs when they arrive. Of course,
we cannot set down her~ the proper
preventive or cure for all disease
and insect p ests. But start fighting at the first sign of damage to the

why did he not send some of his
military police after him? It did
not suit his office to cl;lase Zito himself, especially since it was unlikely
that he would catch him.
The acolyte Ludovico, sitting on
the steps of the Church, looked up
in amazement at the little Italian being chased by the American officer.
He wondered why the American was
chasing the Italian. The pair had
run right past Ludovico up the steps
of the Church before it occurred to
him that perhaps this was the American Major. He got up quickly and
ran up the steps after the two of
them, but he was too late; they were
already inside the door.
The entire congregation stood up.
The lazy Fatta even stopped leaning against the pillar. There was a
considerable amount of murmuring,
and as the Major walked up the
aisle, puffing and wiping the sweat
from his face, many people whispered: "Kiss your hand, kiss your
hand."
As soon as he saw a pew that was
not too crowded, Major Joppolo genuflected !md slid into it. Zito imitated him and squeezed into the
same pew, which was too crowded
then.
The congregation seated itself.
Father Pensovecchio cleared his
throat. His confidence, which had
very nearly left him, was now very
much in evidence. He had his crowd
and be h ad his Major.
Major Joppolo couldn't help noticing two heads in the pew right in
front of him. One was the head of
a man, and it was bald . The other
was the head of a woman, and it
was blonde.
By tilting his head a very little
bit, Major Joppolo was able to find
out that the bald head belonged to
his interpreter, Giuseppe. He was
not able, by tilting, to see the face
of the blonrle head, but he could
see that the hair was arranged fastidiously, with no loose strands.
"If you remember," said the
priest, "we were told that Americans attacked priests and attacked
and killed women, and were all
Protestants. But right here now is
an America11 of Italian descent who
is attending mass, and is just as

Werewolves syrnbo ,;:e a trJ1itional manifcstatio'1 of dep ·a\•ed. carniverous appetites. BP11c f in werewolves still exist:; in !'Ome p· rts of
Europe today, and a wcrnvolf is
generally thought to be a man or
woman transformC'd into a wol' or
some other vicious animal. Frequently the irdi\"idual actually belit&gt;ves himself to have been transformed into an anirPal.
In Scandinavia anrl Eng' an l \ ·t&gt;rewolves seem to have be _n identified
with outlawry and with soci&lt;Jl outcasts who \\:ere snbject to bc~ti::1l
fury. To the Slavs and Dulgnrs, a
num's soul actually enters tlw wolf
for a time. When his soul returns
to 'its human body the victim is ex
hausted and aches as though hE&gt; had
experienced violent exercise. Thi8
foqn is connected with a popular
belief in vampires.
Werewolves seem to have been
particularly active in France auring the 16th century. Signtfkantly,
however, Encyclop&lt; ~dw Britannica
tells of French court carEs in 138D
and 1603 in which c:on\"icted werewolves were trc&lt;ttcrl as ins::uw and
not as mrt: -h:Y &gt;ic,d degenerate;,

Whether you are 16 or 60, you can
have well-groomed hair. Keep it
clenn and well-brushed. For a sham~oo, simmer one-eighth of a cake of
soap in one pint of hot water until
the soap is dissolved. Add one teaspoonful of borax and one tablespoonful of alcohol.
If you have to use hard water
to wash your hair, try a rinse of
lemon juice or vinegar; that helps to
remove the soap curd formed by
hard water. Lemon is also a mild
blc&gt;ach. Us!' the juice of one-half
lemon or two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar in one quart of water. Follow thts with a clear rinse.
One of the first steps to overcome the dullness of hair is to
'Jrush it. Brushing sUmulates the
glands of the scalp and makes
the hair shine. Do not brush the
1air flatly to the head, but rather
up and out. Bend from the hips
and brush the hair from the
nape of the neck forward. Then
separate the hair into small strands
and brush away from the scalp.
Wipe the brush on a towel after
each strand is brushed. To remove

Famed in !King and story, including chapters by Mark Twain and
Longfellow, Heidelberg universtty
before the war had an enrollment
of 1,570 nearly a fourth of them
1
women. Eight German uni yersitics had larger student bodies than
Heidelberg, but none \\as so cosmopolitan in past centuries, or
had more loyal alumni.
Headlined features of student
We at Heidelberg were the stucicnt
duels. There were fencing bouts
among the five rival corps, each
with distinctive caps. A facial
scar became a badge of honor. The
duelling "grounds" were near the
Scheffclhaus, at the north end of
the old arched bridge in the
quaint residential section of Heidelberg. One scene of "The Student
Prince" was laid in the beer garden of the Scheffelhaus. Most popular with the students was the tuneful and rollicking drinking song
from the musical comedy.
To the south the old moated castle
of Heidelberg stood out from its
mountainside setting, 330 feet abOve
the river. It was an aggregation of
fortresses and palaces of past centuries. The castle was largely dcst:·oyed in 1G93 by the French soldiers of Louis XIV. The castle was
noted for the great Tun in the cellar, a cask that could :store over
50,000 gallons of wine .

Mocking Bird
"The mocking bird is one of the
r.1ost highly dev&lt;:-loped singers and
,1as one of the broadl'St repertoires," said National Audubon Oi·
'lcial Bert Hartwell of :'.1iallli, Fla.
To be £ure, the Audubon ofticial ad·
mitted. the mocking bird isn't above
lifting a few trills from l,;s f~\'th
ered neighbors, but he scrambles
the lot, interpolates a ge~erous portion of striclly original cadenzas and
weaves them into a distinctive song
all his own. "You can't mistake it
for ihc song of any other bird,''
Hartwell maintained.

Dry Shampoo Restores
Life to Window S.va e&lt;;
Non-washable window-shades can
bn freshened and often give &lt;tnr&gt;ther
year of usefulness by applying a
dry shampoo. To cleanse shades this
way, start by taking them dov·n
and dusting them on both sides.
For dry suds, boil one part of bar
or packaged soap with five parts
of water and cool until the mass
jt:lls. Then whip with an egg beater
until a dry lather is formed with
no liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Apply the dry suds with a soft
cloth or brush or sponge to a small
section of the shade. Rub lightly
and then wipe the suds off. Wipe
the area again \\::ith a cloth wrung
almost dry in clear warm water.
Rinse until all suds and soil have
been removed and wipe with a dry
cloth. Continue until the entire surface has been cleaned. Reverse the
s'1ade, and clean the otrer side tl'e
s.llne way. Ahva,vs overlap a little
when applying suds to avoid streak·
ing.

Model $21 House Gives
Mexican Indians Ideas
If someone offered you $21 on condition that you go out and buy yourself a house with it, you might not
appreciate the humor of the situation. Yet to an Indian family of
Ixcat0pec, a valley \'illage 60 miles
from Mexico City, $21 actually represents the price not of just a home,
but a model home at that.
When the Camohmila Rural Reconstruction center built such a
model house, all of the 25 families
of Ixcatepec came to gaze at it ir,
amazement. Three rooms of adobe,
with red-tiled roof, it had a kitchen
with a chimney, a bathroom, builtin cupboards, windows and a wooden floor. But not one of those Indian families could afford $21!
However, points out the InterAmerican magazine, the experiment
proved that a better way of life was
possible. The Indians began to improve their own homes by putting
in windows, dividing the customary
one large room into two, adding a
kitchen and a rudimentary bat~­
room.

Sparkling Windows Add
To Charm of Home
To make sure that windows will be
bright and clean, do not use soap
and water on the panes.
Soap
streaks the glass and is hard to rub
dry. Clear warm water can be'used
if the glass is not too dirty. If
grease and dirt cling to the panes,
add a little ammonia or alcohol to
the water to get the windows clean.
Use four tablespoons of dilute ammonia for each gallon of water.
Windows can be cleaned and
dried quickly and easily if"the water
or solution is sprayed on. The spray
gives a thin, even film of the liquid
all over the glass.
If you do not have a spray, tHe next
best way to wash windows is with
a chamois, which takes up water
quickly and thoroughly and leaves
no lint, as cloth often does. A
piece of chamois may also be used
to dry the windows. For windows
that are left open often, protect the
sills from rain spots and dust with
a coat of liquid wax, after washing
and drying the sill. Apply a thin
layer of wax, and polish until the
wax is hard enough to provide a
protective finish.

Good Seed
Does seed of oats, barley, wheat
and other farm grains actually "run
out?" A good many farmers believe it does. They think it's necessary to get new seed every few
years because, they say, their
seed "runs out." In other words, j
they believe that seed grown for a .
number of years on the same farm
loses its ability to yield satisfactorily. Agronomists say that there's
probably some foundation for such
a widespread belief because seed
on many farms does cease making
satisfactory yields. But, the reason
Ill! I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIIIIIIIIIII 111111111111111
they say, is the accumulation of disease and other crop mixtures in the
grain. It is their contention that I

Deficiency in Cattle

In cattle, probably the first
ticeable symptom of vitamin A deficiency is a cloudy condition of
the eyeball, and excess watering of
the eyes. There may be loss of appetite. Calves are commonly dead
or weak at birth. The cow may
have difficulty in r ·1· · ~g and
frequently retains the : lerbirth.
She may give little or no rrulk. Ewes
may have similar symptonfs, and in
addition may develop lambing
paralysis, with resulting loss of the
ewe and lambs. Good green hay, a
good source of carotene which is the
substance from which vitamin A is
produced in the animal's body, is
the preventive and the cure for
this condition. Brown or bleached
hay does not have enough garotene.

HEARTBURN

OKINAWA.-It's marvelous to see a bunch of American
troops go about making themselves at home wherever they get
a chance to settle down for a few days.
My company of first division marines dug in at the edge of a
bomb-shattered village. The village was quaint and not without charm. I was astonished at the similarity with the villages
of Sicily and Italy.

Extend the Meat With Noodles and Gravy
(See Recipes Below)
Point-Easy Patterns
Some of our homemakers feel tha)l
rationing has become so tight, it is
difficwlt to set a tasty dish before
the family. It's true we are learning to use a great variety of foods,
but all these can be made delicious
as well as pleasing as to appearance.
Humble meats like hamburger and
liver can be dressed attractively and
made to taste
like high-point
foods. Imagine
eatin'g , golden
brown, wafer-thin
pancakes, filled
with a well-seasoned meat mixture. Good? Of
course, pass the
seconds, please.
You can stuff small slices of liver
with your favorite celery or onion
dressing and braise them in a savory tomato sauce. There's little
bPtt~r.

If you have taken it a little bit
ea"y on the main course, you can
a' ys go the limit with the des'"'' t . ' Cream pies are "luscious
even though their whipped cream
toppings are missing. Frothy egg
whites are just as pretty and tasty.
Fresh vegetables and fruit platters are ideal for adding color to
the table. Try a freshly cooked
snowy white cauliflower in the center of a platter and surround it with
slivered green beans and tomato
cups with golden corn kernel centers. If it's a fruit platter you've
set your cap for, then you'll like
melon (preferably cantaloupe with
its center scooped out and filled with
a fruit gelatin salad, and garnished
on the platter with slices of pineapple mounted with fresh berries or
grapes.
Hamburger Filled Potato Pancakes
(Serves 6 to 8)
1 pound hamburger
2 teaspoons salt
~cup milk
.2 tablespoons fine, dry bread
crumbs
'% tablespoons fat
4 cups grated raw potatoes
2 tablespoons grated onions
% teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1,4 cup flour
2 tablespoons milk
Combine meat, 1 teaspoon salt,
milk and bread crumbs. Mix well
and shape into thin patties. Brown
m hot fat. Combine potatoes, remaining salt, pepper, eggs, flour and
milk. Mix well. Remove meat from
trying pan. Add more fat. Place a
small amount of the potato mixture
into hot fat. Top with meat pattie.
'Then cover with more potato mix-ture (potato mixture should form a
thin coating).
Fry slowly until
brown. Turn and brown on other
side.
These Hamburger Filled Pancakes may be served with sauerkraut. Place the kraut in the center of a platter and arrange pancakes in a border around it.

Lynn Says:
1\leat 1\temos: Extend low-point
meats with breading, garnishing
and fillings to make them appetizing and point-saving.
Bacon can, be dipped in beaten
egg and bread crumbs, th!m fried
and served as an appetizing meat
course.
Honeycomb or pocket tripe becomes savory when giv~n the egg
and bread crumb treatment.
Serve it with broiled bacon and
tomatoes for flavor contrast.
Ground lamb patties take on
flavor value V{hen served with
grilled fresh pineapple and tomato slices.
'
Small shdl.llder roasts will
stretch further when stuffed with
bread, celery, parsley or onion
dressing. Make plenty of rich
grayy for a fill-in feature.

sired.

The town didn't really seem Oriental. The houses were wooden onestory buildings, surrounded by little
vegetable gardens.
Instead of
fences, each lot was clivided by rows
of shrubs or trees. The cobblestoned
streets were just wide enough for a
jeep.
They were winding and
walled on both sides by head-high
stone walls.
~ A good part of the town lay shattered. Scores of the houses had
burned and only ashes and red roofing tile were left.
Wandering
around, I counted the bodies of four
Okinawans still in the streets. Otherwise the town was deserted.
The people had fled to their caves
in the hillsides, taking most of their
persdnal belongin~s with them.
There is almost no furniture in Japanese houses, so they didn't have
to worry about that.
After a few days the grapevine
carried the word to them that we
were treating them well so they began to come out in droves and give
themselves up. I heard one story
about a hundred Okinawa civilians
who had a J ap soldier among them,
and when they realized the atrocity
stories he had told them about the
Americans were untrue, our MPs
had to step in to keep them from
beating him.

M arine:r Have
Run ol Town
Our company commander picked
out a nice little house on a rise at
the edge of town for his command
post.
The house was very light, fairly
clean, and the floors were covered
with woven straw mats. A couple
of officers and a dozen men moved
into the house and slept on the floor
and we cooked our rations over an
open stone cookstove in the rear.
Then t'he word1 went ·around Tor'
the men of the company to dig in
for several days. Two platoons were
assigned to clig in along the outer
sides of the nearby hills for perimeter defense.
The boys were told they could
keep the horses they had commandeered, that they could carry wooden panels out of the houses to make
little doghouses for themselves, but
not to take anything else, and that
they could have fires, except during
air alerts.
They weren't to start their daily
mop-up patrols in the brush until
the next day, so they had the afternoon off to clean themselves up and
fix up their little houses.
Different men did different things.
Some built elaborate houses about
the size of chicken houses, with floor
mats and chairs and even kerosene
lanterns hanging from the roof.
One Mexican boy dug a hole, covered it with boards, and then camouflaged it so perfectly with brush
you really couldn't see it.
Some spent the afternoon taking
baths and washing clothes in the
river. Some rode bicycles around
town. Some rode their horses up
and down. Some foraged around
town through the d eserted houses.
Some went looking for chickens to
cook.
Some sat in groups and
talked. Some just slept.
An order went out against wearing
Jap clothing or eating any of the
local vegetables, pork, goat, beef or
fowl. But this was before the order
came out.
The marines had dug up lots of
Japanese kimonos out of the
smashed houses and put them on
wliile washing their one set of
clothes. If you ever want to see a
funny sight, just take a look at a few
dozen dirty and unshaven marines
walking around in pink and blue
women's kimonos.
A typical example was Pvt. Raymond Adams of Gleason, Tenn. He
had fixed himself a dugout right on
the edge of a bluff above the river.
He had a grand view and a nice
little grassy front yard. Out there
he had driven stakes and built a
fire. He hung his helmet over the
fire like a kettle and was stewing
~hicken.
He had taken of! his
clothes and put on a beautiful pinkand-white kimono.
Later a friend came along with
a Jap bicycle with one _pedal off,

and Adams tried without much success to ride it up and down a nearby lane.
If there ever is a war play about
marines I hope they include one
tough-looking private in a pink-andwhite kimono, stewing chicken and
trying to ride a one-pedaled bicycle
through a shattered Japanese village.
Private Adams is married and has
a boy eight months old he has never
seen. If the baby could have seen
his father that day he would probabl~ have got the colic from laughing so much.

and routing out the few hidden J aps
in that area.
We were in no danger on the
march-at least we thought we
weren't, so not all the marines wore
steel helmets. Some wore green
twill caps, some baseball caps, some
even wore civilian felt hats they had
found in Japanese homes.

I've always enjoyed going along
with an infantry company on the
move, even some of the horrible
moves such as we had in Italy and
France. But the move we made
that morning here on Okinawa was
really a pleasant one.
It was early morning and the air
was good. The temperature was

Funny Sighb
In Moving Column
There are always funny sights in
a column of soldiers moving along
Our mortar platoon had comman
deered a dozen local horses to carry
heayy pieces. One of the marines
had tied the pack onto his horse
with a Japanese obi-one of those
brightly colored reams of sash Japanese women bear on their backs.
And here came tl;lis marine, dirty
and unshaven, leading a sorrel
horse with a big bowtie of black
and white silk, three feet wide, lied
across its chest and another similar
one tied under its belly, the ends
standing out on both sides.
Troops carry the oddest things
when they move. One marine had
a J ap photo album in his hand. One
had a wicker basket. Another had
a lacquered serving tray. They even
had a Columbia phonograph with
Jap records, strapped onto a horse.
Lots of them wore Japanese insignia or pieces of uniform. Later
an order came out that any marine
caught wearing Jap clothing would
be put on burial detail. I guess that
was to keep marines from shooting
each other by mistake.

• • •

There were frequent holdups
ahead of us and we would stop and
sit down every hundred yards or so.
One marine commenting on the slow
progress said:
"Sometimes we take off like a
ruptured duck, and other times we
just creep along."
The word was passed down the
line, "Keep your eyes open for
planes."
About every sixth man
would turn his head and repeat it
and the word was sent back along
the column like a wave. Except
toward the r ear they made it comical"Keep your eyes open for planes
- keep your eyes open for cabbages
-keep your eyes open for Geisha
girls."
We were walking almost on each
other's heels, a solid double line of
marines. My friend, Bird Dog Clayton, was behind me. He said, "A ·
column like this would be a Jap
pilot's delight."

:Men Chilled on Okinawa 'Love Day'
The LCVP in which I rode shoreward on Love Day morning at Okinawa was so crowded the men just
stood against each other. I knew
most of them for they were all from
the ship that brought us up.
They had been riding for an hour
before they picked us up of!' the control boat and they were soaked to
the skin from the spray.

shiny, yet they had all gotten very
cold just from being wet. Some of
them got the cold shakes and
couldn't stop. They joked with each
other about quaking with fear, instead of cold. We all smiled sort
of sickly like.
We talked most of the way, but I
can't remember much of what we
said. We were all sort of tensed up
inside.

You'll have to, to be heard above the bloody gurgles of
the men who are dying at this very moment of our
day of "Victory"••• the ghostly whispers, mighty in
volume, of the men who died not to kill one nation but
to kill all tyranny.
Today our great fight is but hal£ won.
Japan, our final and most dangerous enemy, still lives.
Japan still boasts an army of 4,000,000 fanatical, lastditch fighters, with half again that many in reserve.
Japan's huge, ill-gotten wealth of Empire is still essen·
tially intact.
Japan still hates our guts.
Today we can, if we choose, start breaking faith with
those who died. We can go on a fool's orgy, get drunk
on our success so far.
Or we can, if we choose, pray for our dead, and for the
lives of those who have so far been spared. We can stay
on the job, buy another War Bond, give a pint of blood.
We can choke hack our cheers , •• and save our wind for
the mighty task that lies ahead.
Today is but the symbol of the many days to come.

TIME ot deepest satisfaction for
the Victory gardener is when he
begins to harvest his crop. For
weeks he has been tending these
crops with care and watching with
interest as the young plants grew
and developed.

Too many gardeners, in attempts to
get lan;er growth
\fiCTfJ~Y and yield, delay
h~rvest beyond the
stage of best qua!Jty. No vegetable
should be allowed to become tough,
,coarse, ove1 grown and unpalatable
before being harvested.
I Quantity is important, but so is
quality. Which brings us back to the
t1me when ttle plants break through
the ground and start growing
straight and strong and evenly down
the rows-the question of thinning
j lhe plants.
Don't be afraid to thin out
I your rows. Give the root plants
room to grow. Beets, carrots,
parsnips, turnips, radishes, on·
ions, rutabagas, salsify, kohlrabi
and other root plants should be

There is one thing in which the
nation's farmers and our military leaders have a common
stake ... an element which can
upset the most carefully laid
military plans and the most
meticulously planned agricultural program-the weather.
The farmers' success in planting and harvesting and American combat success in combined land- sea- air operations
can come only through close observance of the scientific predictions of the weatherman. For
the weather is often used as a
military weapon by our military
strategists, and our farmers are
dependent upon the vagaries of
the weather to harvest a record
production, or a crop failure.
No military operation-whether it
is a minor sortie by a group of fighters, a bombing mission on an enemy
city, naval bombardment of a Jap
i"land, a ground attack in China, or
a large scale invasion-is never blueprinted unless latest weather information is first consulted. Success of
an attack is ofttimes dependent upon
clear weather, though American
forces have profitably exploited bad
weather to make offensive strikes
against the enemy.

Powerful New Sunlamp
Tans S!~in Rapidly
Capable of converting any room
into a "beach at home," an electric
lamp being manufactured is so rich
in ultraviolet energy that it suntans
human skin three times faster than
Old Sol in midsummer.
Only five minutes e),:posure is required to mildly redden the untanned skin of a person of average
complexiOn who basks 24 inches
from the lamp. To get the equi\·alent coloring, one would haYe to sit
under a July sun at t 1e Jersey
seashore for 15 minutes.
Because its base is the same type
and size as bases for regular household incandescent bulbs, the su'llamp can be screwed into any regu.
lar light socket operating on standard alternating current electricity.
But for convenience in ai!ning and
in handling, a simple adjustable
portable hclder for the lamp is
recommended.

Let me make haste to say that I
am not sorry for Uncle Frank. He
will be all right; he has some other

Inside Figures
Here li another enlightening passage from his statement: "Perhaps
you wonder why my net realization
from wages has been so small. The
answer lies in the extremely high
income tu rates which apply to rrly
wages, added as they are to my other income, and to the fact that I
must pay not only federal income
taxes but also state income taxes."
This man is not the only big-company official in the country who has
cut a lordly income to less than 10
cents a month. Why do they do it?
Because their big salaries benefit
them so little and cost their firms
so much.
My young friend who
. tarted last fall to work his way
through college, running a steam
dishwasher four hours a day, realized more net from his salary than
thh $50,000 CXC'Cutive.
Who Is Injui·ecl?
Men who cut o!I big salaries have
other income. That's why their tax
rates are so high. That's why they
can afford to spurn a salary. But if
they musl decline the proceeds of
their own invested earnings, one
thing is sure: They will not invest
further earnings to start new ventures or expand old ones. Investments in business are not safe, never have been. Any investment is a
risk.
Men with money invest it only
when they believe, to the best of
their judgment, that it will pay realienable returns. Now they are sure
ot only one thing: Nearly everything an investment earns will be
taxed away from them. Will they
invest in new enterprises? No. Then
where will our returning service
men find work? Unless present tax
laws are changed soon, they will
tlnd it on a huge W. P. A. to the disll'lCe of our free America.

Dangerous Cargo
In connection with the transportation of great quantities of dangerous articles, other than explosives,
·handled by the railroads in 1944, two
persons were killed and 40 injured
Those two fatalities resulted from
accidents in connection with the
handling of gasoline. Accidents in
connection with the movement of various dangerous articles other than
explo11ives totaled 990 in 1944. Of
this number, gasoline accounted for
178, electrical storage batteries, 170;
crude oil, 138; sulphuric acid, 72;
nitric acid, 46, and naphtha, 30.
Property damage in connection with
fires and explosions resulting from
such accidents totaled $568,283 com1pared with $1,128,150 in 1943, when
1 there were 966 accidents and six fatalities.

Although mi1r~ads are handlina a

on account of the war than ever
before, not a single railroad employee lost his life in 1944 as a result of accidents in connection with
the transportatiOn of explosi\"es.
Seven accidents due to the transportation of explosives took place in
1944. These resulted in only one
person being injured and a total
property loss of $75,440. One accident took place in connection with
the transportation of fire works,
while six accidents resulted from
the transportation of military explosives. In the past 11 years, there
has been only one fatality resulting
from accidents in connection with
the transportation of explosives and
that one took place in 1939.

Coal hnportant in

WEAKNESS

!\'lined now in 32 states, coal has
become the nation's principal source
of heat and power.
Coal was first discovered by
American colonists near Richmond. but was not mined commerC'aly until 1'150, says the National
Geographic society. The first mine
was at Midlothian, 12 miles west of
the city. The Richmond basin was
mined commercially for more than
a hundred years, and still contains
coal, but little is now mined.
Steel, necessary for almost every
type of defense equipment. is a
measure of coal's import&lt;tnce.
When Virginia coal production began, eleven colonies had ironworks,
using charcoal to produce about 10,000 tons of iron a year, and small
amounts of steel. Demands of World
War II increased steel production
by more than 50,00CJ,OOO tons a year.
It requires about a ton and half of
coal to make the coke to smelt
a ton of pig iro!l to make steel.
Since Pearl Harbor coke production has exceeded all previous

Old Pitfalls Stand in
Way of Future Peace

SUGAR:
ONE FRONT:
Speedy Shift
Despite persistent reports of Jap
peace feelers, America is going full
speed ahead for an all-out war in
the Pacific following Getmany's unconditional surrender, bringing the
European conflict to an end after
almost six years of the bitterest
figh1ing in history.
No sooner had Col. Gen. Gustav Jodi officially thrown in the
sponge for Germany on orders of
Fuehrer Karl Doenitz than the
American high command geared itself for a shift to the Pacific, with
plans calling for retention of an
army of 6,968,000 and navy of
3,389,000; the transfer of many air
wings to the east to supplement Super-Fort raids on Japan, and
the shipment of almost 3,000,000
troops from Europe within a year.
At the same time, however, provision was made for keeping 400,000
American troops in Germany to occupy the southwestern part of the
country while the French take over
the Rhineland, the British the northwest and the Russians the east.

Way Out
Reading the handwriting on the
wan even while Germany was still
hanging on the
ropes, Jap businessmen, ·seeing their
industries being retluced to rubble
even before t h e
U. S. could throw
her full weight into
the fray, reportedly
made indire'ct approaches for peace.
If such is Japan's
Pres. 'l'ruman intent despite the
recent announcement of her government officials
about a fight to the finish, Pres.
Barry S. Truman was seen as offering the Japanese an opportunity to
give up and still save face by his
detailed definition of "unconditiOnal
surrender" in a V-E day statement.
Then, the President said:
•'It (unconditional surrender)
means the end of the war.
'"It means the termination of the
influencP of the military leaders who
have brought Japan to the present brink of disaster.
"It means provision for the return of soldiers and sailors to their
families, their farms, their jobs.
"It means not prolonging the present agony and suffering of the Japanese in the vain hope of victory."
In shifting U. S. strength to the
Pacific, the services plan to ship
some construction, supply and maintenance forces directly from the
European theater, while moving the
bulk oyer through this country.

Map l1 ovements
Including some 1,000.000 troops
with extE&gt;nded combat records, who
are to be released along with the
\\'Otmded and averaged, the army
will bring 845.000 men home in the
first quarter after V-E day: 1,185,000
in the second, and 807,000 in the
thu·d. Those who will be retained
for the Pacific war will be given a
30·clay furlough, then reassigned for
duty.

troops from Europe stems from the
gigantic task of transferring equipment for the Pacific war. According to estimates, from 60 to 75

a great white fog has begun to drape

It has been a day of conferences
and interviews where the great
tragedi es of little countries-Albania. Korea, Poland-and the little
differences between great countries
have been tossed at us, in vibrant
earnest voices, in stiff and proper accents. It would be easy to lose sight
of woods for the trees. But as I sit
here leafing over faded notes of another such conference, I know that
the tremendous goal for which these
delegates have striven is so much
higher, so much wider than all the
1 little controversies that it still is just
what the chambermaid in my ho1 tel said it was.
Sh.e was gray haired. She had a
son on Saipan, she told me, and
when I asked her what she thought
of this gathering she laid down an
armful of linen and looked up. "I
guess this is just about the most important thing that ever happened,"
she said, "trying to stop wars."

How important this meeting will
prove to be depends on how well the
world avoids the pitfalls which
wrecked its last attempt to treat
war as we treat disease: not as
something that we irreverently consider as an act of God, like a tornado. but something to which mankind is exposed through ignorance
and indifference and which can be
prevented.

PUBLIC WELFARE

in the week' 8 new.t
A sufficient number of new
workers joined the labor force
dur~g the last year to permit
an mcrease of 1,100,000 in the
armed forces and an increase of
300,000 in the civilian supply of
workers. As a resuJt of this increase in the supply, the number of civilian workers employed
rose to 50,800,000 in March from
50,500,000 last year.

Steps were taken by more than a
dozen states this year to increase
old age assistance allotments and
aid to dependent children.
Aged persons in Delaware now
may receive $30 monthly under
legislation raising the maximum to
that figure from $25 a month. Wyoming raised its maximum to $50
a month, Utah increased maximum benefits from $30 to $40,
Washington put old age assistance
on the basis of need and provided
$50 minimum for persons over 65.

kits will be available for review in
approximately I 000 places in the

pounds of a 3-12-12 applied as a sidedressing. The fertilizer cost $20.80

At this angry moment, Gargano,
Chief of the Carabinieri, came up
to the line. This man was called
by the people The Man With Two
Hands, because of his continuous
1 and dramatic gesturing.
He was,
seemed to think, an actor, and
j he
he could not say two words without
gesturing with both hands. He possessed and exercised all the essf'ntially Italian gestures: the two forefingers laid side by side, the circle
of thumb and forefinger, the hands
up in stop position, the salute to the
forehead with palm forward, the
fingertips of the two hands placed
tip to tip, the fingers linked, the
hands flat and downward as i! patting sand, the hands up heel to heel
and pulled toward the chest, the
attitude of prayer, the pointing forefinger of accusation, the V as if for
victory or smoking cigarettes, the
forefinger on the chin, the rolling of
the hands. All, he used them all.
He did not make any arrests. He
merely went up to Carmelina, wife
of the lazy Fatta, and squeezed between her and the door of Zapulla's
shop, and stood there. The people
could see that he was merely taking his place at the head of the line
to wait for bread.
Carmelina, who was annoyed by
having had wood-coke thrown at her,
said truculently: "Mister Gargano,
you were Chief of the Carabinieri
under the old regime, and that entitled you to stand at the head of
the line. I am not sure that you
are still Chief of the Carabinieri."
Gargano said: "I am the Chief,"
and he made a kind of Fascist salute with both hands.
Carmelina said: "I doubt it.
Where is the proof?"
Gargano said: "See my uniform,"
and he ran his two forefingers from
his shoulders to his knees.
Carmelina said: "That is no proof.
The Americans do not care how we
dress. I could dress as a rabbit
and the Americans would not arrest me."
Gargano said: "Woman, stop your
shouting, or I will arrest you," and
he gripped his own left wrist with
his own right hand, signifying arrest.
Carmelina said; "Where is your
authority?"
Margherita the formidable wife of
Craxi said: "I believe that this man
~s still Chief, since the Mister Major is keeping many Fascist scoundrels in office until they prove themselves bad. But I do not believe
that under American law he has the
right to go to the head of the line.
That is where I think you are right,
Carmelina."
Gargano stepped out of the line.
"Who questions my right?" he
roared, and he pounded one clenched
fist on the otner clenchetl fist.
Carmelina, wife of the lazy Fatta,
standing right beside him, startled
him by whispering in his ear: "I
question it, Two-Hands."
Up to this time Zapulla the baker,
standing in the front of his shop,
had been torn between the two authorities, the old and the new. But
he was so annoyed with Carmelina
for having prodded him that he now
said: "Arrest her, Mister Chief, if
you have any courage."
Up to this time Gargano the Chief,
somewhat unsure of his ground, had
been trying to think of a way of retiring gracefully. But now his manhood, as well as his authority, was
challenged. He moved toward Carmelina and said: "Woman, you are
under arrest."
Carmelina shouted: "Keep your
two active hands off me, Gargano."
Zapulla said: "Will you let this
woman shriek down your courage?"
Gargano clapped his hands on
Carmelina. She screamed. All up
and down the line women shouted:
"Out with the Fascist Chief of Carabinieri. Out with Two-Hands. Out
with men who push themselves to
the head of a line ahead of women
who have been waiting three hours."
Gargano dragged Carrnelina off
screaming and kicking, and the antiGargano, anti-Fascist screams in the
line grew louder and louder. Even
Mercurio Salvatore, although as crier he was more or less an offic ial
and should have remained neutral
or even taken the side of Gargano,
1
raised his huge voice in a careful
shout: "Down with injustice!"
When Gargano pulled Carmelina
into Major Joppolo's office, she was
still screaming. But the Major
jumped to his feet and said sharply:
"Silence, shrew," and she fell quiet
at once.
"What is this all about?" the Major asked.
Gargano said: "This woman questioned my authority," and he pointed at her with both forefingers.
Carmelina said: "There is more
to it than that."

I

Major Joppolo said: "Your au·
thority to do whut, Gargano?"
Carmelina shouted: "To push his
way to the head of the line in front
of Zapulla's bread shop."
Gargano said: "It is a privilege
the officials of the town have always enjoyed."
Major Joppolo said: "Is that so?"
Gargano said: "I charge this
woman with disturbing the peace
and questioning authority." Gargano
was shrewd in saying this, for he
saw that things were going against
him, and now he had put the matter
on an official rather than o personal
basis. The Major would have to
decide the case officially.
The Major decided with a speed
which dazzled Gargano . He decided that the woman was right but
that he could not say so, because if
he did the Chief would never regain
his authority, and the M&lt;c1jor wanted
to keep him in office. Therefore he
said: "I sentence this woman to one
day in jail, suspended sentence. Let
her go, Gargano, and gather all
the officials of Adano for me at
once."
When Carmelina got outside, she
ran straight back to the bread shop.
The bread was not ready yet, and
the people gave her back her place
at the head of the line and shouted
to her: "What happened, Carmelina? What did they do to you?"
Carmelina told what had happened
and she said: "Did you ever hear of
such a light sentence in Adano? I
believe in my heart that the Mister
Major thought I was right. Al'd what

was the meaning of assembling the
officials? I believe that he was for
me."
In the Major's office, the officials
gradually assembled. Some were
held-over Fascists, some were new
appointments to take the place of
Fascists who had fied to the hills.
In whispers, and with ample gestures, Gargano described to them
the hl'.miliation he had suffered, until Major Joppolo said: "Silence,
please.''
The officials drew up in a circle
around the Major's desk. The Major stood up.
"I want you .to be my friends,"
he said. "As my friends, I will
consider it my duty to tell you everything I think, for we do not want
Adana to be a town of mysteries and
a place of suspicion.
"Adana has been a Fascist town.
That is natural, because the country
was Fascist, therefore the town was
also. But now that the Americans
have come, we are going to run the
town as a democracy.
"Perhaps you do not know what
a democracy is. I will tell you.
"Democracy is this: democracy
is that the men of the government
are no longer the masters of the
people. They are the servants of
the people. What makes a man master of another man? It is that he
pays him for his work. Who pays
the men in the government? The
people do, for they pay the taxes
out of which you are paid.
"Therefore you are now the servants of the people of Adano. I too
am their servant. When I go to
buy bread, I shall take my place
at the end of the line, and I will wait
my turn. You too must behave
now as servants, not as masters.
You must behave as the servant of
the man without shoes just as much
as of the baron. If I find that any
of you are not giving the type of
service that I desire, I shall have
to remove you from office.
"Remember: you are servants
now. You are servants of the peopie of Adano. And watch: this thing
will make you happier than you
have ever been in your lives."
On the ninth morning, General
Marvin was driving along the road
toward Vicinamare and came to the
town of Adana. From time to time
along the road his driver had had to
slow down behind the little Italian

~pe/1.:
two-wheeled carts of the countryside until traffic from the opposite
direction had gone by. Then he
passed the carts.
As they passed each cart, General Marvin waved his riding crop
in such a way as to indicate that
the cart should move over. Since
there was nothing to move over into
except the ditch, which at intervals
along the road expanded into tank
traps, the carts never did move
over. The General grew angrier
and angriH.
Now it happened that just as he
came to the Fiume Rosso. or Red
River, just before Adano, the General's armored car was obliged to
slow down for a cart which meandered along right in the center of
the road.
The General stood up in his car
and shouted in his deep bass voice
(you've read about that voice in the
suppl ements; it'f; famous; one writer said it was like "a foghorn gone
articulate"): "Get off the road!"
Unfortunately the driver of the
cart was one Errante Gaetano, who
earlier that morning had sold three
dozen eggs to American soldiers at
fourteen times the proper price, had
immediately sunk most of his profits in the wine of his friend Mattaliano, and was now sleeping a deep
and happy sleep on the seat of his
cart. At this particular moment,
he was dreamin,g about eating the
nicer parts of a fish nine feet long.
Naturally he did not pay rnuch attention to the voice of General Marvin, no matter how famous the
voice, because he could not hear it.
General Marvin roared at his driver: "Blow your horn. Blow him off
the road."
The driver, a nice boy from Massachusetts, put the heel of his hand
on the horn button against his own
wish. He was in no hurry, and
knf'W that no matter how fast they
went, he would only have to wait
when they got wherever they were
going.
The mind of Errante did not react
to the horn, even though the horn
was something urgent called a klaxon. The cart kept right down the
middle of the road, inasmuch as
Errante's mule was a cautious creature, just as wary of ditches on
the right as of ditches on the left.
This was a quality in his mule of
which Errante Gaetano often boasted to his friends. "Give me none of
your lop-sided mules," he would say,
"glve me a mule with a sense of
the middle."
This sense was going to be the
undoing of his mule just now, because General Marvin's face was
beginning to grow dark, and some
veins which have never been described in the supplements began to
wriggle and pound on his forehead.
"I've had enough of these carts,"
the General shouted. He was standing up in the car, waving his riding crop around. "Do they think
they're going to stop the invasion
with carts?"
Errante slept beautifully. He was
coming to the gray part of the fish
just under the ribs. It melted in
the mouth of his dream. There
was, however, a sound of thunder
in the distance which made him
think perhaps he had better cover
the fish and finish eating the nice
parts after the rain.
General Marvin roared: "Do these
Italians think they're going to stop
a bunch of tanks with a bunch of
wooden carts?"
Colonel Middleton, the General's
Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant Byrd,
his aide, could see the violence coming. Lieutenant Byrd looked back
along the road, but he couldn't see
any bunch of tanks. The only thing
he could see that was being held
up besides the General's armored
car was one seep, or amphibious
jeep, which did not seem to be in
a hurry.
Here it came. General Marvin
shouted: "Throw that cart off the
road."
Errante stirred in his sleep. The
thunder of his dream was the most
beautiful and most continuous thunder he had ever heard.
The six men surrounded the cart.
Colonel Middleton reached up to
waken Errante, but the General's
roars grew louder. "What are you
doing?" he bellowed. "I told you
to throw the thing off the road."
"We were just going to wake this
fellow up and get him off first,"
Colonel Middleton shouted back, but
the shout was weak because he knew
what the answer would be.
"Serve him right. Throw him too.
Just turn the whole thing over."
There was no protest from any of
the six men. The only thing which
was said was muttered by Lieutenant Byrd: "The old man hasn't. been
getting enough sleep lately."
Colonel Middleton went to the head
of the mule and guided it to the
side of the road. He directed the
other five men to take positions on
the left side of the cart and ' to lift
together when he gave the signal.
General Marvin roared: "Come
on, get i~ over with. What a bunch
of softies. Get it over with."
Colonel Middleton gave the signal.
The five men lifted.
In his dream, Errante. rose up
above the nine-foot fish and soared
off into space. The sensation was
extremely pleasant.

HOLLYWOOD
of connoisseurs
A COMMITTEE
in chic headed by Lady 1\lendl

HELP WANTED-MEN,

recently named Gene Tierney the
best dressed girl in moviedom.
Just prior to that a national
magazine listed Gene among the
top four beauties of the screen, the
others being Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid
Bergman, and Linda Darnell.
And since 20th-Century-Fox's talent poll evidently puts her at the
acting top-she's
come off with all
the best roles the
lot has to offer
in 1945-I thought
it time to find out
how Gene feels
about life in general.
It's amusing to
know that the
next two Tierney
Gene Tierney
releases will not
display
Gene's
modern sartoriH I to 1ents. When I
came on the "Dra p-nnwyck" set,
where she was making a scene with
Vincent Price, she was v, PC1 r;n~ the
fashions of 1944. And in "A Eel! for
Adana," which is being shown in
theaters this month, she's clnrl Jn
the picturesque tatterdemalion of a
peasant girl in a captured Itahan
town.
But not until "Leave Her to
Heaven," which Gene begin~ in late
spring, will she wear a ch1c modern wardrobe again-the sort of
clothes that made "Laura" such a
hit with women.

Take It From Me
Since nobody has gotten around
to awarding Gene the medal for
brains-such evidently not being included in obvious star assets-let
me be the one to name her one
of the most nimble minds in one
of the steadiest little heads ever
crowned by laurels. Designers love
to create bizarre and extravagant
whimsies to emphasize her intriguing face and rhythmic design. But
in her private life and tastes Gene
is conservative to a degree. Wears
little or no makeup, and her shining
brown hair is the precise shade
nature gave her.
So, because 5he's young, superlovely, mother of a 15-month-old
daughter, Daria, and a happy
wife, Gene's fans have come to
think of her as a sort of high priest·
ess of the modern theme. A girl of
tomorrow. Nothing is farther from
the truth.
"Hedda," she said, "sometimes I
really think our fans believe we live
in a sort of crystal and plastic
dream world. But I'm not looking
forward to jumping into a helicopter and landing on the studio root
instead of driving down the canyon
each morning with good old Butch
my police dog, on the front seat be-'
side me. And, aside from the fact
in personal tastes, I'm really not
looking forward to the day when
television, all-out air transport, and
chores done by robots in solar
houses will be a reality. Think how
much charm it will take from living
Besides, few of the young things
of today realize it will take years
and years to develop such living. A
lot of my friends seem to feel the
post-victory year will be something
worthy of Jules Verne's irnagina
tion.
I suggested she was probably in
ftuenced by the character of Mi
randa, the lovely heroine of Ernst
Lubitsch's
production
"Dragon
wyck."

Extremes Are Out
Gene has just as definite idea s
about fashion, too. Although she
has been named the best dressed
woman in Hollywood, she frowns on
extremes. Boiled down to a coup! e
of essentials, her don'ts on dres s
come to:
"Don't be conspicuous. Conspicu.
ous makeup, color, line, detail, an d
combinations violate the rules o f
good taste. The well dressed worn
an looks just right for the occasion
-blends into the moment."
Gene is thrilled at playing the role
of the evil sister in "Leave Her t 0
Heaven."
"Ellen has acting quality, a·n d
that is what an actress should con
sider," she says. "The bad girls o f
fiction have given more opportun ities to stars then the sweet youn g
. things."
I remember when Gene Tierne y
played half-castes, outlaw girls
Eurasians-for a time she was a 1·'
-most as typed in the sarong as Dott y
Lamour, or threatened to be, She
didn't rise easily into the high place
on the screen in which she now
finds herself, although she is prac
tically cameraproof, undoubted!y
one of the best lens subjects in th e
industry today. She has gracious
ness and much personal charm, and
a complexion of flawless beauty,

During the 18th century, Sophia of
Hannover, Germany, became known
as the "Mother L•f Kings.' She herself was in line for the British succession as the great-granddaughter
of Mary, Queen of Scots. \v11en her
death, in 1714, prevented fulfillment
of the act of parliament by which
she would have b~n offered the
crown, her son, as George I, became
the first of the Hannovcrian dynasty to rule England.
Besides the Hannoverian and
Br1tish lines, Sophia was associated
with the royal house uf Prussia by
the marriage of her daughter, Sophia Charlotte, to Frederick I, first
king of Prussia. Her granddaughter, Sophia Dorothea, married Frederick William I of Prussia, and became mother of Frederick the
Great.
In Great Britain, although the
Hannover blood relationship remained, the male succession of the
house was broken when Victoria
came to the throne and married AI·
bert, of the German state of SaxeCoburg and Gotha. During the First
World war, George V relinquished
nil German titles. The name of the
ruling house was then abandoned for
that of Windsor.

Inland Sea
The Inland Sea, often termed Japan's Mediterranean, borders the
western portion of the main J ap island of Honshu on the south. The
Inland sea winds for 260 miles in a
chain of six small, shallow lakes, or
nadas, connected by na~row straits.
Varying little in size, tlle nadas average 40 miles in length by 20 miles
in width. White sands, green pines,
palisade shores and a thousand islands give them beauty renQwned.
If their basins were to be pushed
up 100 feet, they would largely become ash and laval hill country like
surrounding land. Connecting this
Inland sea with open ocean are three
narrow straits, each fortified and
easily defended against sea-level
approach because their combined
width is no more than that of the
mouth of Delaware bay.

Veteran Battleship

ABOARD A U. S. BATTLESHIP
OFF OKINAWA (Delayed)- James
P. McRaven, coxswain, USN,
whose parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Chester McHaven, reside in
Crete, is fighting aboard this
veteran battleship which poured
1500-pound shells onto Okinawa
for six day-s to clear the way for
troops taking part in the greatE-st
amphibiou1=1 landing of the Pacific
war.
His ship, which saw service in
World War I and has blasted the
Japs throu~h five previous cam•
paigns of this war. underwent
numerous air attacks during the
last few ciays before the land·
in2s. The torpedoes launched
against her never reached their
mark.
Before dawn of "Love Day" she
was brought into position to give tho
beaches a final working over. The
men were up at 2:ao a. m. and at their
battle stations soon afterward, undaunted by three .J ap auicide planes
which mKde futile runs against the
ship.
At 6:30 11, m., along with other ships
of the task force the battleship begRn
her final bombardment on pillboxes,
airplane revetments, observation posts
and caves.

barrages screen~d the island. In a lull
that came an hou.r later, some of his
mates were able to watch through the
smoke with binoculars as the first
waves of Marines hit the beach.
Anxiously awaiting reports of the
Marines' pro~ress over the ship's loud
speakers, he and the crew sent up a
cheer at tbe news that strategic Yontan airstrip had been taken.
The
ship's bombardment had paid off.

P. F. C. B1till Home
Liberated about four months
after he was first listed as missing in action, P. F. C. William J.
Batill, 20 years, arrived home
last week Wednesday. Although
he appeared in good health and
has regained most of his wei~tht
lost under the semi-starvation
regime, P. F. C. Batill preferred
not to talk of his experiences
until later.
He was reported missing last
December 13 and was freed in
April by advancing Allied forces.
Most of his four month stretch
as a German prisoner was at
Luchenwald.
His arrival was not unexpected
by his family, for they had received a letter dated April 19th,
reporting he 'was back in American hands.
Bil!y, son of Mrs. Lillian Batill,
and brother of Mrs. Walter Du
Bridge, had tbe pleasure of
meeting his niPce. Lynn Patrice

HEARTBURN

OKINAWA.-It's marvelous to see a bunch of American
troops go about making themselves at home wherever they get
a chance to settle down for a few days.
My company of first division marines dug in at the edge of a
bomb-shattered village. The village was quaint and not without charm. I was astonished at the similarity with the villages
of Sicily and Italy.

meats with breading, garnishing

Bacon can, be dipped in beaten

The town didn't really seem Oriental. The houses were wooden onestory buildings, surrounded by little
vegetable gardens.
Instead of
fences, each lot was clivided by rows
of shrubs or trees. The cobblestoned
streets were just wide enough for a
jeep.
They were winding and
walled on both sides by head-high
stone walls.
~ A good part of the town lay shattered. Scores of the houses had
burned and only ashes and red roofing tile were left.
Wandering
around, I counted the bodies of four
Okinawans still in the streets. Otherwise the town was deserted.
The people had fled to their caves
in the hillsides, taking most of their
persdnal belongin~s with them.
There is almost no furniture in Japanese houses, so they didn't have
to worry about that.
After a few days the grapevine
carried the word to them that we
were treating them well so they began to come out in droves and give
themselves up. I heard one story
about a hundred Okinawa civilians
who had a J ap soldier among them,
and when they realized the atrocity
stories he had told them about the
Americans were untrue, our MPs
had to step in to keep them from
beating him.

M arine:r Have
Run ol Town
Our company commander picked
out a nice little house on a rise at
the edge of town for his command
post.
The house was very light, fairly
clean, and the floors were covered
with woven straw mats. A couple
of officers and a dozen men moved
into the house and slept on the floor
and we cooked our rations over an
open stone cookstove in the rear.
Then t'he word1 went ·around Tor'
the men of the company to dig in
for several days. Two platoons were
assigned to clig in along the outer
sides of the nearby hills for perimeter defense.
The boys were told they could
keep the horses they had commandeered, that they could carry wooden panels out of the houses to make
little doghouses for themselves, but
not to take anything else, and that
they could have fires, except during
air alerts.
They weren't to start their daily
mop-up patrols in the brush until
the next day, so they had the afternoon off to clean themselves up and
fix up their little houses.
Different men did different things.
Some built elaborate houses about
the size of chicken houses, with floor
mats and chairs and even kerosene
lanterns hanging from the roof.
One Mexican boy dug a hole, covered it with boards, and then camouflaged it so perfectly with brush
you really couldn't see it.
Some spent the afternoon taking
baths and washing clothes in the
river. Some rode bicycles around
town. Some rode their horses up
and down. Some foraged around
town through the d eserted houses.
Some went looking for chickens to
cook.
Some sat in groups and
talked. Some just slept.
An order went out against wearing
Jap clothing or eating any of the
local vegetables, pork, goat, beef or
fowl. But this was before the order
came out.
The marines had dug up lots of
Japanese kimonos out of the
smashed houses and put them on
wliile washing their one set of
clothes. If you ever want to see a
funny sight, just take a look at a few
dozen dirty and unshaven marines
walking around in pink and blue
women's kimonos.
A typical example was Pvt. Raymond Adams of Gleason, Tenn. He
had fixed himself a dugout right on
the edge of a bluff above the river.
He had a grand view and a nice
little grassy front yard. Out there
he had driven stakes and built a
fire. He hung his helmet over the
fire like a kettle and was stewing
~hicken.
He had taken of! his
clothes and put on a beautiful pinkand-white kimono.
Later a friend came along with
a Jap bicycle with one _pedal off,

and Adams tried without much success to ride it up and down a nearby lane.
If there ever is a war play about
marines I hope they include one
tough-looking private in a pink-andwhite kimono, stewing chicken and
trying to ride a one-pedaled bicycle
through a shattered Japanese village.
Private Adams is married and has
a boy eight months old he has never
seen. If the baby could have seen
his father that day he would probabl~ have got the colic from laughing so much.

Funny Sighb
In Moving Column
There are always funny sights in
a column of soldiers moving along
Our mortar platoon had comman
deered a dozen local horses to carry
heayy pieces. One of the marines
had tied the pack onto his horse
with a Japanese obi-one of those
brightly colored reams of sash Japanese women bear on their backs.
And here came tl;lis marine, dirty
and unshaven, leading a sorrel
horse with a big bowtie of black
and white silk, three feet wide, lied
across its chest and another similar
one tied under its belly, the ends
standing out on both sides.
Troops carry the oddest things
when they move. One marine had
a J ap photo album in his hand. One
had a wicker basket. Another had
a lacquered serving tray. They even
had a Columbia phonograph with
Jap records, strapped onto a horse.
Lots of them wore Japanese insignia or pieces of uniform. Later
an order came out that any marine
caught wearing Jap clothing would
be put on burial detail. I guess that
was to keep marines from shooting
each other by mistake.

• • •

There were frequent holdups
ahead of us and we would stop and
sit down every hundred yards or so.
One marine commenting on the slow
progress said:
"Sometimes we take off like a
ruptured duck, and other times we
just creep along."
The word was passed down the
line, "Keep your eyes open for
planes."
About every sixth man
would turn his head and repeat it
and the word was sent back along
the column like a wave. Except
toward the r ear they made it comical"Keep your eyes open for planes
- keep your eyes open for cabbages
-keep your eyes open for Geisha
girls."
We were walking almost on each
other's heels, a solid double line of
marines. My friend, Bird Dog Clayton, was behind me. He said, "A ·
column like this would be a Jap
pilot's delight."

:Men Chilled on Okinawa 'Love Day'

cold just from being wet. Some of
them got the cold shakes and
couldn't stop. They joked with each
other about quaking with fear, instead of cold. We all smiled sort
of sickly like.
We talked most of the way, but I
can't remember much of what we
said. We were all sort of tensed up
inside.

There is one thing in which the
nation's farmers and our military leaders have a common
stake ... an element which can
upset the most carefully laid
military plans and the most
meticulously planned agricultural program-the weather.
The farmers' success in planting and harvesting and American combat success in combined land- sea- air operations
can come only through close observance of the scientific predictions of the weatherman. For
the weather is often used as a
military weapon by our military
strategists, and our farmers are
dependent upon the vagaries of
the weather to harvest a record
production, or a crop failure.
No military operation-whether it
is a minor sortie by a group of fighters, a bombing mission on an enemy
city, naval bombardment of a Jap
i"land, a ground attack in China, or
a large scale invasion-is never blueprinted unless latest weather information is first consulted. Success of
an attack is ofttimes dependent upon
clear weather, though American
forces have profitably exploited bad
weather to make offensive strikes
against the enemy.

Powerful New Sunlamp
Tans S!~in Rapidly
Capable of converting any room
into a "beach at home," an electric
lamp being manufactured is so rich
in ultraviolet energy that it suntans
human skin three times faster than
Old Sol in midsummer.
Only five minutes e),:posure is required to mildly redden the untanned skin of a person of average
complexiOn who basks 24 inches
from the lamp. To get the equi\·alent coloring, one would haYe to sit
under a July sun at t 1e Jersey
seashore for 15 minutes.
Because its base is the same type
and size as bases for regular household incandescent bulbs, the su'llamp can be screwed into any regu.

But for convenience in ai!ning and
in handling, a simple adjustable

recommended.

am not sorry for Uncle Frank. He
will be all right; he has some other
money. I am not worried about his

like to offer but can't.
Inside Figures
Here li another enlightening passage from his statement: "Perhaps
you wonder why my net realization
from wages has been so small. The
answer lies in the extremely high
income tu rates which apply to rrly
wages, added as they are to my other income, and to the fact that I
must pay not only federal income
taxes but also state income taxes."
This man is not the only big-company official in the country who has
cut a lordly income to less than 10
cents a month. Why do they do it?
Because their big salaries benefit
them so little and cost their firms
so much.
My young friend who
. tarted last fall to work his way
through college, running a steam
dishwasher four hours a day, realized more net from his salary than
thh $50,000 CXC'Cutive.
Who Is Injui·ecl?
Men who cut o!I big salaries have
other income. That's why their tax
rates are so high. That's why they
can afford to spurn a salary. But if
they musl decline the proceeds of
their own invested earnings, one
thing is sure: They will not invest
further earnings to start new ventures or expand old ones. Investments in business are not safe, never have been. Any investment is a
risk.
Men with money invest it only
when they believe, to the best of
their judgment, that it will pay realienable returns. Now they are sure
ot only one thing: Nearly everything an investment earns will be
taxed away from them. Will they
invest in new enterprises? No. Then
where will our returning service
men find work? Unless present tax
laws are changed soon, they will
tlnd it on a huge W. P. A. to the disll'lCe of our free America.

Dangerous Cargo
In connection with the transportation of great quantities of dangerous articles, other than explosives,
·handled by the railroads in 1944, two
persons were killed and 40 injured
Those two fatalities resulted from
accidents in connection with the
handling of gasoline. Accidents in
connection with the movement of various dangerous articles other than
explo11ives totaled 990 in 1944. Of
this number, gasoline accounted for
178, electrical storage batteries, 170;
crude oil, 138; sulphuric acid, 72;
nitric acid, 46, and naphtha, 30.
Property damage in connection with
fires and explosions resulting from
such accidents totaled $568,283 com1pared with $1,128,150 in 1943, when
1 there were 966 accidents and six fatalities.

Although mi1r~ads are handlina a
1greater amount of high l'Xplostves
on account of the war than ever
before, not a single railroad employee lost his life in 1944 as a result of accidents in connection with
the transportatiOn of explosi\"es.
Seven accidents due to the transportation of explosives took place in
1944. These resulted in only one
person being injured and a total
property loss of $75,440. One accident took place in connection with
the transportation of fire works,
while six accidents resulted from
the transportation of military explosives. In the past 11 years, there
has been only one fatality resulting
from accidents in connection with
the transportation of explosives and
that one took place in 1939.

Pay-Cut
Last year at this time I enjoyed
the acquaintance of a business man
'"rorn r~hr:,· \'"lr ""O,ODO a year. I
luol:ed upon lum v. ith a great deal
of admiration and respect for s vu a) re:~sons. He earned whnt he

His employees, numbering above
ten thousand, c;all him Uncle Frank.
He lives in a small town and helps
a lot of people in a quiet way.
Last week somebody showed me
a page of a pocket-size magazine
publi hed for the employees of his
company and I read with grave interest that his pay had been cut.
'That was news by anybody's standard; most people are getting raises
in pay these days. What's more,
this man's pay-cut is big. It amounts
to more in a year than most men
manage to accumulate in a whole
lifetime.

Storied Danube
Like the Rhine, Germany's upper
Danube is a storied river of real
and imaginary events that have furnished material for countless books,
songs and legends. Peacetime travelers wrote of its ruined castles, its
busy industrial cities and sleepy villages. Danubian lore includes familiar tales of early bridges built
with the help of the Devil, his price
set in souls of those first using the
bridge. One such yarn describes a
clever architect who tricked the Evil
One of his prey by substituting animals as the first to cross. Other
stories deal with tragic and happy
lovers, religious miracles, jousts between dwarfs and giants.

Coal hnportant in

WEAKNESS

!\'lined now in 32 states, coal has
become the nation's principal source
of heat and power.
Coal was first discovered by
American colonists near Richmond. but was not mined commerC'aly until 1'150, says the National
Geographic society. The first mine
was at Midlothian, 12 miles west of
the city. The Richmond basin was
mined commercially for more than
a hundred years, and still contains
coal, but little is now mined.
Steel, necessary for almost every
type of defense equipment. is a
measure of coal's import&lt;tnce.
When Virginia coal production began, eleven colonies had ironworks,
using charcoal to produce about 10,000 tons of iron a year, and small
amounts of steel. Demands of World
War II increased steel production
by more than 50,00CJ,OOO tons a year.
It requires about a ton and half of
coal to make the coke to smelt
a ton of pig iro!l to make steel.
Since Pearl Harbor coke production has exceeded all previous

Discussion of the regional security

views on postwar trusteeships over

strategic islands and the British insisting upon control subject to the

Old Pitfalls Stand in
Way of Future Peace

SUGAR:
ONE FRONT:
Speedy Shift
Despite persistent reports of Jap
peace feelers, America is going full
speed ahead for an all-out war in
the Pacific following Getmany's unconditional surrender, bringing the
European conflict to an end after
almost six years of the bitterest
figh1ing in history.
No sooner had Col. Gen. Gustav Jodi officially thrown in the
sponge for Germany on orders of
Fuehrer Karl Doenitz than the
American high command geared itself for a shift to the Pacific, with
plans calling for retention of an
army of 6,968,000 and navy of
3,389,000; the transfer of many air
wings to the east to supplement Super-Fort raids on Japan, and
the shipment of almost 3,000,000
troops from Europe within a year.
At the same time, however, provision was made for keeping 400,000
American troops in Germany to occupy the southwestern part of the
country while the French take over
the Rhineland, the British the northwest and the Russians the east.

Way Out
Reading the handwriting on the
wan even while Germany was still
hanging on the
ropes, Jap businessmen, ·seeing their
industries being retluced to rubble
even before t h e
U. S. could throw
her full weight into
the fray, reportedly
made indire'ct approaches for peace.
If such is Japan's
Pres. 'l'ruman intent despite the
recent announcement of her government officials
about a fight to the finish, Pres.
Barry S. Truman was seen as offering the Japanese an opportunity to
give up and still save face by his
detailed definition of "unconditiOnal
surrender" in a V-E day statement.
Then, the President said:
•'It (unconditional surrender)
means the end of the war.
'"It means the termination of the
influencP of the military leaders who
have brought Japan to the present brink of disaster.
"It means provision for the return of soldiers and sailors to their
families, their farms, their jobs.
"It means not prolonging the present agony and suffering of the Japanese in the vain hope of victory."
In shifting U. S. strength to the
Pacific, the services plan to ship
some construction, supply and maintenance forces directly from the
European theater, while moving the
bulk oyer through this country.

Including some 1,000.000 troops

will bring 845.000 men home in the

for the Pacific war will be given a
30·clay furlough, then reassigned for

a great white fog has begun to drape
the distant, gray-green hills in the
folds of its floating robe.
It has been a day of conferences
and interviews where the great
tragedi es of little countries-Albania. Korea, Poland-and the little
differences between great countries
have been tossed at us, in vibrant
earnest voices, in stiff and proper accents. It would be easy to lose sight
of woods for the trees. But as I sit
here leafing over faded notes of another such conference, I know that
the tremendous goal for which these
delegates have striven is so much
higher, so much wider than all the
1 little controversies that it still is just
what the chambermaid in my ho1 tel said it was.
Sh.e was gray haired. She had a
son on Saipan, she told me, and
when I asked her what she thought
of this gathering she laid down an
armful of linen and looked up. "I
guess this is just about the most important thing that ever happened,"
she said, "trying to stop wars."

How important this meeting will
prove to be depends on how well the
world avoids the pitfalls which
wrecked its last attempt to treat
war as we treat disease: not as
something that we irreverently consider as an act of God, like a tornado. but something to which mankind is exposed through ignorance
and indifference and which can be
prevented.

fail? What are the pitfalls which
the United Nations must avoid?

A sufficient number of new
workers joined the labor force
dur~g the last year to permit
an mcrease of 1,100,000 in the
armed forces and an increase of
300,000 in the civilian supply of
workers. As a resuJt of this increase in the supply, the number of civilian workers employed
rose to 50,800,000 in March from
50,500,000 last year.

Steps were taken by more than a
dozen states this year to increase
old age assistance allotments and
aid to dependent children.
Aged persons in Delaware now
may receive $30 monthly under
legislation raising the maximum to
that figure from $25 a month. Wyoming raised its maximum to $50
a month, Utah increased maximum benefits from $30 to $40,
Washington put old age assistance
on the basis of need and provided
$50 minimum for persons over 65.

In order to provide agricultural
information to servicemen and veterans of this war who are interested
in agriculture, the USDA has arranged to place kits containing samples of a vail able information in separation centers, hospitals, libraries
and vocational guidance and retraining centers of the army, navy, air
fnrces, and the Veterans administration.
In cooperation with Washington
representatives of the
various
branches of the armed forces and
the Veterans administration, these
kits will be available for review in
approximately I 000 places in the
continental U S. and overseas. Accompanying e&gt;a"h l1;t will be a supply of order blanks on which the
veteran or serviceman can order
from the ciepartment by a simple
check mark. any itPm or group of
items he may want.
Among the materials being offered '
are several general publications de- [
signed to help the agriculturally inclined serviceman or veteran decide
whether or not he really does want
to become a farmer.

Painting Doors
Doors that are open In warm
weather frequently have both sides
-exposed to sun and rain, and should
be kept well painted so that moisture
will not seep into the panel joints and
cause the door to fall apart. Likewise, window sashes should be given special attention, as the putty
around the glass deteriorates lf not
painted periodically.
Retractive Ray
The ancient Greeks believed that
some kind of emanation, or rays,
left the eye and that sight followed
v;hen the body rays touched an object, says the Better Vision insti1ute. Modern science has shown
that the process is the other way
around. We see by the light rays
that are reflected to the eye by objects.

'lT'RY IT

At this angry moment, Gargano,
Chief of the Carabinieri, came up
to the line. This man was called
by the people The Man With Two
Hands, because of his continuous
1 and dramatic gesturing.
He was,
seemed to think, an actor, and
j he
he could not say two words without
gesturing with both hands. He possessed and exercised all the essf'ntially Italian gestures: the two forefingers laid side by side, the circle
of thumb and forefinger, the hands
up in stop position, the salute to the
forehead with palm forward, the
fingertips of the two hands placed
tip to tip, the fingers linked, the
hands flat and downward as i! patting sand, the hands up heel to heel
and pulled toward the chest, the
attitude of prayer, the pointing forefinger of accusation, the V as if for
victory or smoking cigarettes, the
forefinger on the chin, the rolling of
the hands. All, he used them all.
He did not make any arrests. He
merely went up to Carmelina, wife
of the lazy Fatta, and squeezed between her and the door of Zapulla's
shop, and stood there. The people
could see that he was merely taking his place at the head of the line
to wait for bread.
Carmelina, who was annoyed by
having had wood-coke thrown at her,
said truculently: "Mister Gargano,
you were Chief of the Carabinieri
under the old regime, and that entitled you to stand at the head of
the line. I am not sure that you
are still Chief of the Carabinieri."
Gargano said: "I am the Chief,"
and he made a kind of Fascist salute with both hands.
Carmelina said: "I doubt it.
Where is the proof?"
Gargano said: "See my uniform,"
and he ran his two forefingers from
his shoulders to his knees.
Carmelina said: "That is no proof.
The Americans do not care how we
dress. I could dress as a rabbit
and the Americans would not arrest me."
Gargano said: "Woman, stop your
shouting, or I will arrest you," and
he gripped his own left wrist with
his own right hand, signifying arrest.
Carmelina said; "Where is your
authority?"
Margherita the formidable wife of
Craxi said: "I believe that this man
~s still Chief, since the Mister Major is keeping many Fascist scoundrels in office until they prove themselves bad. But I do not believe
that under American law he has the
right to go to the head of the line.
That is where I think you are right,
Carmelina."
Gargano stepped out of the line.
"Who questions my right?" he
roared, and he pounded one clenched
fist on the otner clenchetl fist.
Carmelina, wife of the lazy Fatta,
standing right beside him, startled
him by whispering in his ear: "I
question it, Two-Hands."
Up to this time Zapulla the baker,
standing in the front of his shop,
had been torn between the two authorities, the old and the new. But
he was so annoyed with Carmelina
for having prodded him that he now
said: "Arrest her, Mister Chief, if
you have any courage."
Up to this time Gargano the Chief,
somewhat unsure of his ground, had
been trying to think of a way of retiring gracefully. But now his manhood, as well as his authority, was
challenged. He moved toward Carmelina and said: "Woman, you are
under arrest."
Carmelina shouted: "Keep your
two active hands off me, Gargano."
Zapulla said: "Will you let this
woman shriek down your courage?"
Gargano clapped his hands on
Carmelina. She screamed. All up
and down the line women shouted:
"Out with the Fascist Chief of Carabinieri. Out with Two-Hands. Out
with men who push themselves to
the head of a line ahead of women
who have been waiting three hours."
Gargano dragged Carrnelina off
screaming and kicking, and the antiGargano, anti-Fascist screams in the
line grew louder and louder. Even
Mercurio Salvatore, although as crier he was more or less an offic ial
and should have remained neutral
or even taken the side of Gargano,
1
raised his huge voice in a careful
shout: "Down with injustice!"
When Gargano pulled Carmelina
into Major Joppolo's office, she was
still screaming. But the Major
jumped to his feet and said sharply:
"Silence, shrew," and she fell quiet
at once.
"What is this all about?" the Major asked.
Gargano said: "This woman questioned my authority," and he pointed at her with both forefingers.
Carmelina said: "There is more
to it than that."

I

Major Joppolo said: "Your au·
thority to do whut, Gargano?"
Carmelina shouted: "To push his
way to the head of the line in front
of Zapulla's bread shop."
Gargano said: "It is a privilege
the officials of the town have always enjoyed."
Major Joppolo said: "Is that so?"
Gargano said: "I charge this
woman with disturbing the peace
and questioning authority." Gargano
was shrewd in saying this, for he
saw that things were going against
him, and now he had put the matter
on an official rather than o personal
basis. The Major would have to
decide the case officially.
The Major decided with a speed
which dazzled Gargano . He decided that the woman was right but
that he could not say so, because if
he did the Chief would never regain
his authority, and the M&lt;c1jor wanted
to keep him in office. Therefore he
said: "I sentence this woman to one
day in jail, suspended sentence. Let
her go, Gargano, and gather all
the officials of Adano for me at
once."
When Carmelina got outside, she
ran straight back to the bread shop.
The bread was not ready yet, and
the people gave her back her place
at the head of the line and shouted
to her: "What happened, Carmelina? What did they do to you?"
Carmelina told what had happened
and she said: "Did you ever hear of
such a light sentence in Adano? I
believe in my heart that the Mister
Major thought I was right. Al'd what

.. ...
.' J .~.~- .
·~

"Get off the road."
was the meaning of assembling the
officials? I believe that he was for
me."
In the Major's office, the officials
gradually assembled. Some were
held-over Fascists, some were new
appointments to take the place of
Fascists who had fied to the hills.
In whispers, and with ample gestures, Gargano described to them
the hl'.miliation he had suffered, until Major Joppolo said: "Silence,
please.''
The officials drew up in a circle
around the Major's desk. The Major stood up.
"I want you .to be my friends,"
he said. "As my friends, I will
consider it my duty to tell you everything I think, for we do not want
Adana to be a town of mysteries and
a place of suspicion.
"Adana has been a Fascist town.
That is natural, because the country
was Fascist, therefore the town was
also. But now that the Americans
have come, we are going to run the
town as a democracy.
"Perhaps you do not know what
a democracy is. I will tell you.
"Democracy is this: democracy
is that the men of the government
are no longer the masters of the
people. They are the servants of
the people. What makes a man master of another man? It is that he
pays him for his work. Who pays
the men in the government? The
people do, for they pay the taxes
out of which you are paid.
"Therefore you are now the servants of the people of Adano. I too
am their servant. When I go to
buy bread, I shall take my place
at the end of the line, and I will wait
my turn. You too must behave
now as servants, not as masters.
You must behave as the servant of
the man without shoes just as much
as of the baron. If I find that any
of you are not giving the type of
service that I desire, I shall have
to remove you from office.
"Remember: you are servants
now. You are servants of the peopie of Adano. And watch: this thing
will make you happier than you
have ever been in your lives."
On the ninth morning, General
Marvin was driving along the road
toward Vicinamare and came to the
town of Adana. From time to time
along the road his driver had had to
slow down behind the little Italian

~pe/1.:
two-wheeled carts of the countryside until traffic from the opposite
direction had gone by. Then he
passed the carts.
As they passed each cart, General Marvin waved his riding crop
in such a way as to indicate that
the cart should move over. Since
there was nothing to move over into
except the ditch, which at intervals
along the road expanded into tank
traps, the carts never did move
over. The General grew angrier
and angriH.
Now it happened that just as he
came to the Fiume Rosso. or Red
River, just before Adano, the General's armored car was obliged to
slow down for a cart which meandered along right in the center of
the road.
The General stood up in his car
and shouted in his deep bass voice
(you've read about that voice in the
suppl ements; it'f; famous; one writer said it was like "a foghorn gone
articulate"): "Get off the road!"
Unfortunately the driver of the
cart was one Errante Gaetano, who
earlier that morning had sold three
dozen eggs to American soldiers at
fourteen times the proper price, had
immediately sunk most of his profits in the wine of his friend Mattaliano, and was now sleeping a deep
and happy sleep on the seat of his
cart. At this particular moment,
he was dreamin,g about eating the
nicer parts of a fish nine feet long.
Naturally he did not pay rnuch attention to the voice of General Marvin, no matter how famous the
voice, because he could not hear it.
General Marvin roared at his driver: "Blow your horn. Blow him off
the road."
The driver, a nice boy from Massachusetts, put the heel of his hand
on the horn button against his own
wish. He was in no hurry, and
knf'W that no matter how fast they
went, he would only have to wait
when they got wherever they were
going.
The mind of Errante did not react
to the horn, even though the horn
was something urgent called a klaxon. The cart kept right down the
middle of the road, inasmuch as
Errante's mule was a cautious creature, just as wary of ditches on
the right as of ditches on the left.
This was a quality in his mule of
which Errante Gaetano often boasted to his friends. "Give me none of
your lop-sided mules," he would say,
"glve me a mule with a sense of
the middle."
This sense was going to be the
undoing of his mule just now, because General Marvin's face was
beginning to grow dark, and some
veins which have never been described in the supplements began to
wriggle and pound on his forehead.
"I've had enough of these carts,"
the General shouted. He was standing up in the car, waving his riding crop around. "Do they think
they're going to stop the invasion
with carts?"
Errante slept beautifully. He was
coming to the gray part of the fish
just under the ribs. It melted in
the mouth of his dream. There
was, however, a sound of thunder
in the distance which made him
think perhaps he had better cover
the fish and finish eating the nice
parts after the rain.
General Marvin roared: "Do these
Italians think they're going to stop
a bunch of tanks with a bunch of
wooden carts?"
Colonel Middleton, the General's
Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant Byrd,
his aide, could see the violence coming. Lieutenant Byrd looked back
along the road, but he couldn't see
any bunch of tanks. The only thing
he could see that was being held
up besides the General's armored
car was one seep, or amphibious
jeep, which did not seem to be in
a hurry.
Here it came. General Marvin
shouted: "Throw that cart off the
road."
Errante stirred in his sleep. The
thunder of his dream was the most
beautiful and most continuous thunder he had ever heard.
The six men surrounded the cart.
Colonel Middleton reached up to
waken Errante, but the General's
roars grew louder. "What are you
doing?" he bellowed. "I told you
to throw the thing off the road."
"We were just going to wake this
fellow up and get him off first,"
Colonel Middleton shouted back, but
the shout was weak because he knew
what the answer would be.
"Serve him right. Throw him too.
Just turn the whole thing over."
There was no protest from any of
the six men. The only thing which
was said was muttered by Lieutenant Byrd: "The old man hasn't. been
getting enough sleep lately."
Colonel Middleton went to the head
of the mule and guided it to the
side of the road. He directed the
other five men to take positions on
the left side of the cart and ' to lift
together when he gave the signal.
General Marvin roared: "Come
on, get i~ over with. What a bunch
of softies. Get it over with."
Colonel Middleton gave the signal.
The five men lifted.
In his dream, Errante. rose up
above the nine-foot fish and soared
off into space. The sensation was
extremely pleasant.

HELP WANTED-MEN,

recently named Gene Tierney the
best dressed girl in moviedom.
Just prior to that a national
magazine listed Gene among the
top four beauties of the screen, the
others being Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid
Bergman, and Linda Darnell.
And since 20th-Century-Fox's talent poll evidently puts her at the
acting top-she's
come off with all
the best roles the
lot has to offer
in 1945-I thought
it time to find out
how Gene feels
about life in general.
It's amusing to
know that the
next two Tierney
Gene Tierney
releases will not
display
Gene's
modern sartoriH I to 1ents. When I
came on the "Dra p-nnwyck" set,
where she was making a scene with
Vincent Price, she was v, PC1 r;n~ the
fashions of 1944. And in "A Eel! for
Adana," which is being shown in
theaters this month, she's clnrl Jn
the picturesque tatterdemalion of a
peasant girl in a captured Itahan
town.
But not until "Leave Her to
Heaven," which Gene begin~ in late
spring, will she wear a ch1c modern wardrobe again-the sort of
clothes that made "Laura" such a
hit with women.

Take It From Me
Since nobody has gotten around
to awarding Gene the medal for
brains-such evidently not being included in obvious star assets-let
me be the one to name her one
of the most nimble minds in one
of the steadiest little heads ever
crowned by laurels. Designers love
to create bizarre and extravagant
whimsies to emphasize her intriguing face and rhythmic design. But
in her private life and tastes Gene
is conservative to a degree. Wears
little or no makeup, and her shining
brown hair is the precise shade
nature gave her.
So, because 5he's young, superlovely, mother of a 15-month-old
daughter, Daria, and a happy
wife, Gene's fans have come to
think of her as a sort of high priest·
ess of the modern theme. A girl of
tomorrow. Nothing is farther from
the truth.
"Hedda," she said, "sometimes I
really think our fans believe we live
in a sort of crystal and plastic
dream world. But I'm not looking
forward to jumping into a helicopter and landing on the studio root
instead of driving down the canyon
each morning with good old Butch
my police dog, on the front seat be-'
side me. And, aside from the fact
in personal tastes, I'm really not
looking forward to the day when
television, all-out air transport, and
chores done by robots in solar
houses will be a reality. Think how
much charm it will take from living
Besides, few of the young things
of today realize it will take years
and years to develop such living. A
lot of my friends seem to feel the
post-victory year will be something
worthy of Jules Verne's irnagina
tion.
I suggested she was probably in
ftuenced by the character of Mi
randa, the lovely heroine of Ernst
Lubitsch's
production
"Dragon
wyck."

During the 18th century, Sophia of
Hannover, Germany, became known
as the "Mother L•f Kings.' She herself was in line for the British succession as the great-granddaughter
of Mary, Queen of Scots. \v11en her
death, in 1714, prevented fulfillment
of the act of parliament by which
she would have b~n offered the
crown, her son, as George I, became
the first of the Hannovcrian dynasty to rule England.
Besides the Hannoverian and
Br1tish lines, Sophia was associated
with the royal house uf Prussia by
the marriage of her daughter, Sophia Charlotte, to Frederick I, first
king of Prussia. Her granddaughter, Sophia Dorothea, married Frederick William I of Prussia, and became mother of Frederick the
Great.
In Great Britain, although the
Hannover blood relationship remained, the male succession of the
house was broken when Victoria
came to the throne and married AI·
bert, of the German state of SaxeCoburg and Gotha. During the First
World war, George V relinquished
nil German titles. The name of the
ruling house was then abandoned for
that of Windsor.

To the People
of this Community
The 7th War Loan objective is
:four billion dollars in Series E
Bonds . At thi • fime last year
Americans h :1
,versubscribed
+ o war Joan
Jtas, each
rc&gt;c&gt;
billion
dollars in Se- i
ries E War
Bonds. It is
obvious your
personal
shaee must be
greatest of
any of the
war loans.
And yet it
may be no higher than or even
less than the combined amount
yeu invested in bonds in the 4th
and 5th War Loans.
Why should you continue to put
every dollar above the cost of
the necessities o.f living into extra bonds? 1. Uppermost you owe
an obligation to your fighting men
and women to back them to the
limit as long as any enemy military strength remains. 2. Think
about Iwo Jima for a momentsacrifice on the battlefields is
still a way of life for your relatives and friends in uniform. 3. 1
The self-intere-st motive 1s at a
new high.
Civilian goods arc
now scarcer than ever before.
Every dollar you spend for nonessentials works for higher
prices.

Inland Sea
The Inland Sea, often termed Japan's Mediterranean, borders the
western portion of the main J ap island of Honshu on the south. The
Inland sea winds for 260 miles in a
chain of six small, shallow lakes, or
nadas, connected by na~row straits.
Varying little in size, tlle nadas average 40 miles in length by 20 miles
in width. White sands, green pines,
palisade shores and a thousand islands give them beauty renQwned.
If their basins were to be pushed
up 100 feet, they would largely become ash and laval hill country like
surrounding land. Connecting this
Inland sea with open ocean are three
narrow straits, each fortified and
easily defended against sea-level
approach because their combined
width is no more than that of the
mouth of Delaware bay.

OKINAWA.-Now that we are ashore in full force upon the
Japanese island of Okinawa I would like to go back and tell you
in detail how the invasion went off.
As our regimental commander said the night before the landing:
"All I'm worried about is getting past the first two days when

whipped cream.

Easy Dessert: You need go no
further than a bowlful of luscious,
rosy-pink strawberries, plain or sugared with cream for a perfect summery dessert.
Desserts are nutritious but they
are served mainly for morale.
Fruits, sparkling
with their glorious colors, give a
fitting close to a
heavy meal. On
the other hand,
heavier desserts
give a rich flavor
to an otherwise
simple meal.
Desserts take care of the sweet
tooth, that craving for something utterly delicious. No longer do they
require only sugar. Substitutes have
b~en developed that give pies, cakes
and puddings all the goodnesl? of
former times but do not dip into the
stlgar canister with a big scoop.
Desserts can give you part of
the important protein requirement
for the day if they're made with
:::ereals. Add fruits to cereal and
vou have a nourishing as well as
appetite-appealing dish.
Apricot Torte.

olend well. Press half of the mixlure into a shallow pan. Make a
filling by mixing 2lh cups of cooked,
slightly sweetened apricots with l/4
;:up of the fruit juice and flavoring
with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Pour
this mixture over the oatmeal mixture and top with remaining oatmeal
mix. Bake for 35 minutes in a moderate (350-degree) oven. Cool and
cut into squares and serve with
cream or lemon sauce.

Date-Nut Pudding.

1 cup dates, chopped

Beat eggs until very light. Comcine flour, baking powder, salt and

nuts aoo vanilla. Stir until well
blended. Spread evenly on a wellgreased paperlined pan (square).
Lynn Says:
Thrifty Tricks: Cream leftover
vegetables and serve them piping
hot over split, buttered biscuits.
Stretch out the strawberries by
adding a bit ot rhubarb when
you make them into a sauce. The
color will be rosy-red, the flavor
delicious served over cottage
pudding, plain cake or dumplings. ~
If you are low on fruits for
coffee cake fillings use last winter's jams, jellies or marmalades. For a quick coffee cake
batter, butter the pan, line with
orange marmalade and pour batter over it.
Cook potatoes with their skins
on whenever poSsible to save valuable iron. Experiments show
that potatoes, lose about 10 per
cent of their iron in the cooking
water.

Two favorite, novel pies come in
for their share ot honors as desserts.
Notice the use of just the single
crust to save fats:

desired.

The first tw.:&gt; days are over-accomplished with an ease that had
everybody ftabbergasted. By evening of the first day we had done
much more than the most optimistic
planner figured we could in the first
three days. So from now on it's "by
the book."
• • •
For some reason which I haven't
fathomed yet the conventional name
of D-Day was changed for this invasion to "Love Day." Possibly it
was because we were landing on
Easter Sunday and somebody felt
the spirit of brotherly love.

Make Wash Day Easier
With Simple Conveniences
Much washday weariness can be
avoided and many hours saved if
home laundry work is planned to
prevent stretch and strain. To save
strain, wheel loads of clothes around
tbe laundry and out to the line instead of lifting and carrying. A
bench or box fitted with castors
makes a convenient movabl• support for tvb. br1s~ et or hamper. A
child's coaster' wagon, an old tea l
cart, the wheel base of an old baby
carriag.e or a specially built laundry "cart•may be us.ed to transport
the clothes to the line.
When clothes must be carried, use
a container that is easy to carry.
Instead of toting a big hamper of
clothes to the laundry, try a bag
made to fit inside the hamper. This
is easily lifted out when full of
clothes. An ordinary bushel basket
is easier to carry than the ordinary
clothes basket and a lining of
cloth or paper will prevent rough
edges frqm catching clothes.

Follow Through
Do you believe working people
have a right to organize and barr in as a gro tp for their general
b tterment? Do you believe a man
who has saved some money has a
nght to invest it in any business he
la;:es and to operate that business,
trying to make a reasonable profit?
Do you believe that big-volume productwn at low cost lS the key to
good pay? My answer is yes, to all
three questions.
If you agree, you subscril:le to the
fundameqtals of the Labor-Management Ch!irter. It was signed in
Washington lust March 28 by William Green for the American Federation of Labor, Eric Johnson for
United States Chamber of Commerce, and Phil Murray for the
Congress of Industrial Organizations. It is a powerful document,
able (if carried out) to do the world
more good than the famous Atlantic
Charter.
Nothing Original
People who work surely have
rights. Open competition is certainly fair. Economy of time and effort
yields positive rewards. These ideas
are not original. They are old and
time-tested principles. All of them
stand out clearly in the teachings
of Jesus and of many great men
who have lived and enriched the
world more recently. They appear
in the Labor-Management Charter.
Besides declaring the rights of labor, the fairness of competition and
the dividends of economy, the Labor-Management Charter contains
two vital pledges: (I) To settle industrial disputes peaceably - no
strikes, no violence, no lockouts, no
trickery, and (2) To support a sound
economic system in America-an
expanding foreign trade and an enduring peace. Both are perfectly
sound.
Big Responsibility
Being the richest and strongest
nation in the world, the United
States has a serious responsibility.
It is graver than ever now, with a
global war to finish and the world
to be set in order. Miss Columbia
must point the way and she stands
at the crossroads. America's choice
will determine which way the whole
world goes; to peace and plenty or
to poverty and oppression.
Of the 200 billion people who have
lived on earth, not more than 2%
could call their souls their own. The
way of the world has always been
oppression and lt still is. Now especially the trend is toward dictatorship. Not 20% of the people now
living ever dreamed of freedom and
prosperity like we enjoy, but America is in actual danger of being carried with the political tide.
Jobs and l\1arkets
The Labor-Man11gement Charter
points the right way: toward freedom of faith, security of ownership,
and liberty in self-government. Like
any guide-post it is powerless in
itself, useful only if it is followed.
If followed, however, it indicates an
orderly transition from war to victory in peace and prosperity. If it
is ignored, our alternate course leads
to economic war, government by
edict, lower wages, and less of the
things people want.
The system of open competition
in enterprise made America the
world'a most influential nation and
kept it in the forefront of human
progress for 170 years. A recent
survey shows that conservative business men are ready, i! they have a
chance, to offer more than one job
per available worker after the war.
For full employment, good pay,
ready markets and active business,
let's follow through with the LaborManagement Charter.

Lawn Soil
j
It is to be hoped that your lawn
soil is neither very sandy nor
heavy clay. Sand fails to hold either
moisture or pl~nt food very long. It
is true that grass will grow in a
sandy soil if it is watered and fed
regularly, but the attention required
is apt to be more than most of us ·
will give. On a heavy soil less attention is needed. If drainage is
good and the ground is not packed
by trampling feet, grass may do all
right. Ideal lawn soil is a porous
loam, sufficiently well drained so
that it holds moisture and permits
some circulation of air. For various
reasons, however, the ideal soil is
seldom available. We can improve
sandy or clay soils by mixing in
some o! the opposite type, plus a
&amp;enerous proportion of humus.

School Lunch
Your child's school lunch is important! Unless he gets milk as a beverage at three meals it is difficult to
get in his quart a day. Also, because of the child's smaller stomach
capacity, dividing his food fairly
equally between all three meals is
much better than having him "catch
up" at a heavy dinner at night.
Packed lunc!1es are apt to be monotonous and unbalanced unless milk,
fruit and vegetables are included.
}Iighly seasoned foods, stimulating
beverages, and sweets should have
very little place in the child's diet.
Fruit or milk desserts may be added occasionally.

Praise for Britain
Although resenting Prime Minister Churchill' s criticism of Eire for
remaining neutral in the European
conflict when her participation
would have furnished the Allies with
important sea bases, Prime Minis ter de Valera complimented the
British chieftain for not violating the
small country's neutrality by force
to obtain such advantages.
Declaring that Churchill's restraint "advanced the cause of inter national morality," De Valera said:
"It is indeed fortunate that Britain's nece ssity did not reach the
point when Mr. Churchill would
have acted. All credit to him tha t
he successfully resisted the temptation."
But if De Vale ra had pra ise for
Churchill, he had c ensure, too. Answering Churchill's decla r ation that
only North Ireland's furnishing of
ba ses preven ted Britis h action
a gainst E ire itself, De Vale ra regretted tha t the Briton had turned
to " abus ing a people who ha ve done
him no wrong, trying to find in a
crisis like the pres ent excuse for
continuing the injustice of the separation (of the north and south) of
our country ."

WNU Service, l1nion Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
The Ame rican voc abula ry has
been enriched by a new word which
has burdened the not e books of war
d epartment s tenogr a phe rs in Washington for a long time. When I was
in Sa n Fra ncisco I s a w its meaning
graphically illustrated.
The word is "redeployment." No,
I didn ' t m a ke a ty pographical error . Re employment we have heard
about before. ReDeployment is diffe rent. And in that word, as in
Hauptmann's "tear," can sparkle
"all the joy and all the sorrow of
the world."
This new word isn't in any dictionary. And in all the echoing acres
of the Pentagon I could find no official definition of it but in its current application it simply means
shifting a lot of American boys out
of the European theater of war
where the curtain has gone down.
That process is causing many . a
headache in the Pentagon. It wlll
cause many a heartache at home
and abroad. It will cause some happiness, too.
For the boys and the families of
the soldiers and sailors who are cast
for the second act in the tragedy of
World War II (and that is most of
them) redeployment means heartaches. For the others it means happiness. But whether they go back
to Main street and take up the plowshare or the pen, the hammer or the
school book, or whether they go on
to fresh battlefields, it is a headache as well as a heartache for the
high command.

CHAPTER VI
The cart groaned. The right wheel
-crumbled around the axle. The
whole weight of the thing rolled
slowly over into the ditch, and the
shafts twisted and upset the mule,
and the mule, which had always
feared ditches on
the
right,
screamed to find ltsel! falling into
what it had feared .
Errante hit the earth hard. He
woke up, but what with his dazedness, his drunkenness, his surprise
and his natural stupidity, he was unable to do anything except roar
wordlessly.
General Marvin was still roaring
too. "Serve him right,'' he shouted. "Holding up traffic. Trying to
stop the invasion."
A new fury rushed up the General's cheeks. "Middleton," he
shouted, "shoot that mule."
Colonel Middleton's blood froze.
He shouted back: "Do you think
it's wise, sir?"
The General shouted: ''What's
that? What's that?"
Colonel Middleton knew it was
hopeless but he shouted again: "I
said, do you think it is wise, sir?"
Trying to reason with any man, and
especially with this man at two hundred feet and the top of one's lungs
was not rewarding work.
The General shouted: "Middleton,
you trying to stop the invasion too?
Do what I say."
So Colonel Middleton pulled out his
..:::olt and fired three shots into the
head of the screaming mule.
All this was accomplished before
Errante Gaetano was able to shape
his roaring into words. He stood
there in absolute amazement at the
:shooting.
General Marvin shouted: "Let's
go, can't spend all day here."
The men got back into the armored car and the seep. As they
started up, General Marvin said:
"Got to teach these people a lesson.
Take me to the mayor of this town,
what is this town anyhow?"
And they drove off, leaving Errante sobbing on the flank of his
mule, lying with his arms around
the neck of the mule which had
had a sense of the middle but no
s ense of urgency.
The General's armored car pulled
up in front of the P a la zzo di Citta.
Lieutenant Byrd ran across the wide
sidewalk and up the marble stairs
and burst into Major Joppolo's office. He interrupted the Major in
the middle of a conversation with
Gargano, the Chief of the Carabinieri.
"General Marvin's downstairs and
wants to see you," the Lieutenant
said. "He's mad as hell, so you
better hurry."
"General Marvin,'' said Major
J oppolo, and the tone of his voice
was not of delight. Though he had
never met the General, he had heard
much about him. "I'll be right
down."
I
Lieutenant Byrd turned and ran
downstairs. Major Joppolo absentmindedly arranged the papers on his
desk in neat piles. Then he stood
up and walked out of his office. Half
way down the marble stairs he realized that he was out of uniform. He
had heard stories of General Marvin's insistence on correct uniform.
Here he was in pink pants and
khaki shirt, when he was supposed
to be in woolens. He was suddenly very frightened, and he turned
and began walking up the stairs
again, trying to figure out w)lat to
do, how to get into proper uniform.
Colonel Middleton ran to the foot
of the marble stairs and shouted
up: "Hey, you, what do you mean
by keeping the General waiting?"
"Yes, sir," Major Joppolo said.
"Be right down."
There was nothing to do. He ran
down the stairs.
When Major Joppolo reached the
armored car, the General was sitting with his left arm raised in
front of him, glaring at his wrist
watch.
Major Joppolo saluted. General
Marvin roared: "One minute and
twenty s econds. You' ve been keeping me waiting one minute and
twenty seconds. Do you think I
nave all day to wait for you? Who
are you, anyway?"
"Major Joppolo, sir, senior civil
affairs officer, town of Adana, sir."
General Marvin remembered the
cart and was apparently too a ngry
even to notice Major Joppolo' s uniform. "Major, these Italian carts
are holding up our whole invasion.
Keep them out of this town. Don't
you let another cart come across
that bridge back there into this
town. What the hell is this town,
anyway?"
"Adano, sir, town of Adano."
"Adano. Keep the carts out of
this town, you hear me?"
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of that
right away."
'l'he General shouted : "Right

away? That's not soon enough for

me."
"Sir, I'll go right up and call the
M.P.'s and tell them about it."
"That's not soon enough. I want
action. No more carts. Adano's the
name of this town, remember that
Middleton, Adana. No more cart~
at all, Major, do you understand?
What are you standing there gawking about? Action. Let's get going,
let's get out of here, do you think I
have all day?"
And before Major Joppolo could
even salute, the armored car had
roared away.
By the time he reached his desk
again, Major Joppolo realized what
the consequences of keeping the
carts out of town would be. He
knew very well how essential they
were to the life of the place.
With a heavy heart he cranked
his field telephone, asked for Rowboat Blue Forward, got the ear o!
Captain Purvis, head of the M.P.'s
in Adano, and ordered him in the
name of General Marvin, to keep
all carts out of Adano, to stop them
at the bridge on the east and at
the sulphur refinery on the west.
Then he called for Zito, his usher,
and asked him to assemble all the
officials of the town in his office.
When they were all in, Major Joppolo stood at his desk and said: "I
have promised to tell you every important thing which the American
authorities decide to do in this town .
I do not want this to be a town of
mysteries. In a democracy one ot
the most important things is for everyone to know as much as possible
about what is going on.
"The American authorities have
decided that because of military necessities it will no longer be possible for mule carts to come into the
streets of town."
Major J oppolo could see his audience suck in its collective breath.

a kind of democracy in their coming to see the Major: they were
the chosen delegates of all the cartmen, to argue this thing out.
They all had old, clea n coats on
and they all clutched cloth caps i~

chairs forward, and they s a t in a

He said: "I am not happy to have
to announce this decision. It is because of military necessities. I am
sorry. That is all."
The officials of Adano, a comiclooking collection, turned sadly to
go. They did not protest. They
had learned during the years of Fascism how to swallow their protests.
But Major Joppolo could tell that
they were not with him, that for the
first time in nine days they were
against him.
Before the first of them reached
the door, Major J oppolo said: "I
wish to tell you that I will do all
that is in my power to have this unjust order revoked."
And when the comic-looking officials o:f Adano went out of the door
of the Major's office, they were still
sad but they were for him.
The Major worried all day about
the order and wondered what he
could do about it. He slept very
badly during the night, because of
his worry.
Early in the morning, Zito, the little usher, came up to his desk and
said: "Mister Major, there are three
men to see you about the carts."
Because it worried him, the Major snapped ba ck ang rily at Zito:
"What do they wa nt about the
carts?"
"That is something the y wish to
tell you, Mister Ma jor ," Zito said.

very slowly.

OKINAWA.-Now that we are ashore in full force upon the
Japanese island of Okinawa I would like to go back and tell you
in detail how the invasion went off.
As our regimental commander said the night before the landing:
"All I'm worried about is getting past the first two days when

whipped cream.

Easy Dessert: You need go no
further than a bowlful of luscious,
rosy-pink strawberries, plain or sugared with cream for a perfect summery dessert.
Desserts are nutritious but they
are served mainly for morale.
Fruits, sparkling
with their glorious colors, give a
fitting close to a
heavy meal. On
the other hand,
heavier desserts
give a rich flavor
to an otherwise
simple meal.
Desserts take care of the sweet
tooth, that craving for something utterly delicious. No longer do they
require only sugar. Substitutes have
b~en developed that give pies, cakes
and puddings all the goodnesl? of
former times but do not dip into the
stlgar canister with a big scoop.
Desserts can give you part of
the important protein requirement
for the day if they're made with
:::ereals. Add fruits to cereal and
vou have a nourishing as well as
appetite-appealing dish.
Apricot Torte.

olend well. Press half of the mixlure into a shallow pan. Make a
filling by mixing 2lh cups of cooked,
slightly sweetened apricots with l/4
;:up of the fruit juice and flavoring
with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Pour
this mixture over the oatmeal mixture and top with remaining oatmeal
mix. Bake for 35 minutes in a moderate (350-degree) oven. Cool and
cut into squares and serve with
cream or lemon sauce.

turl!~. Add about 4 tablespoons of
the berry juice. Pile lightly in the
tray and freeze.
Date-Nut Pudding.
(Serves 6 to 8)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
% teaspoon salt
*cup sugar
1 cup dates, chopped
1 cup nuts, chopped
~ teaspoon vanilla
Beat eggs until very light. Comcine flour, baking powder, salt and
;ugar. Add to beaten eggs, dates,
nuts aoo vanilla. Stir until well
blended. Spread evenly on a wellgreased paperlined pan (square).
Lynn Says:
Thrifty Tricks: Cream leftover
vegetables and serve them piping
hot over split, buttered biscuits.
Stretch out the strawberries by
adding a bit ot rhubarb when
you make them into a sauce. The
color will be rosy-red, the flavor
delicious served over cottage
pudding, plain cake or dumplings. ~
If you are low on fruits for
coffee cake fillings use last winter's jams, jellies or marmalades. For a quick coffee cake
batter, butter the pan, line with
orange marmalade and pour batter over it.
Cook potatoes with their skins
on whenever poSsible to save valuable iron. Experiments show
that potatoes, lose about 10 per
cent of their iron in the cooking
water.

Two favorite, novel pies come in
for their share ot honors as desserts.
Notice the use of just the single
crust to save fats:

·
Note: lh cup of strong coffee may
be substituted for 1h cup milk, if so
desired.

The first tw.:&gt; days are over-accomplished with an ease that had
everybody ftabbergasted. By evening of the first day we had done
much more than the most optimistic
planner figured we could in the first
three days. So from now on it's "by

Make Wash Day Easier
With Simple Conveniences
Much washday weariness can be
avoided and many hours saved if
home laundry work is planned to
prevent stretch and strain. To save
strain, wheel loads of clothes around
tbe laundry and out to the line instead of lifting and carrying. A
bench or box fitted with castors
makes a convenient movabl• support for tvb. br1s~ et or hamper. A
child's coaster' wagon, an old tea l
cart, the wheel base of an old baby
carriag.e or a specially built laundry "cart•may be us.ed to transport
the clothes to the line.
When clothes must be carried, use
a container that is easy to carry.
Instead of toting a big hamper of
clothes to the laundry, try a bag
made to fit inside the hamper. This
is easily lifted out when full of
clothes. An ordinary bushel basket
is easier to carry than the ordinary
clothes basket and a lining of
cloth or paper will prevent rough
edges frqm catching clothes.

Follow Through
Do you believe working people
have a right to organize and barr in as a gro tp for their general
b tterment? Do you believe a man
who has saved some money has a
nght to invest it in any business he
la;:es and to operate that business,
trying to make a reasonable profit?
Do you believe that big-volume productwn at low cost lS the key to
good pay? My answer is yes, to all
three questions.
If you agree, you subscril:le to the
fundameqtals of the Labor-Management Ch!irter. It was signed in
Washington lust March 28 by William Green for the American Federation of Labor, Eric Johnson for
United States Chamber of Commerce, and Phil Murray for the
Congress of Industrial Organizations. It is a powerful document,
able (if carried out) to do the world
more good than the famous Atlantic
Charter.
Nothing Original
People who work surely have
rights. Open competition is certainly fair. Economy of time and effort
yields positive rewards. These ideas
are not original. They are old and
time-tested principles. All of them
stand out clearly in the teachings
of Jesus and of many great men
who have lived and enriched the
world more recently. They appear
in the Labor-Management Charter.
Besides declaring the rights of labor, the fairness of competition and
the dividends of economy, the Labor-Management Charter contains
two vital pledges: (I) To settle industrial disputes peaceably - no
strikes, no violence, no lockouts, no
trickery, and (2) To support a sound
economic system in America-an
expanding foreign trade and an enduring peace. Both are perfectly
sound.
Big Responsibility
Being the richest and strongest
nation in the world, the United
States has a serious responsibility.
It is graver than ever now, with a
global war to finish and the world
to be set in order. Miss Columbia
must point the way and she stands
at the crossroads. America's choice
will determine which way the whole
world goes; to peace and plenty or
to poverty and oppression.
Of the 200 billion people who have
lived on earth, not more than 2%
could call their souls their own. The
way of the world has always been
oppression and lt still is. Now especially the trend is toward dictatorship. Not 20% of the people now
living ever dreamed of freedom and
prosperity like we enjoy, but America is in actual danger of being carried with the political tide.
Jobs and l\1arkets
The Labor-Man11gement Charter
points the right way: toward freedom of faith, security of ownership,
and liberty in self-government. Like
any guide-post it is powerless in
itself, useful only if it is followed.
If followed, however, it indicates an
orderly transition from war to victory in peace and prosperity. If it
is ignored, our alternate course leads
to economic war, government by
edict, lower wages, and less of the
things people want.
The system of open competition
in enterprise made America the
world'a most influential nation and
kept it in the forefront of human
progress for 170 years. A recent
survey shows that conservative business men are ready, i! they have a
chance, to offer more than one job
per available worker after the war.
For full employment, good pay,
ready markets and active business,
let's follow through with the LaborManagement Charter.

Lawn Soil
j
It is to be hoped that your lawn
soil is neither very sandy nor
heavy clay. Sand fails to hold either
moisture or pl~nt food very long. It
is true that grass will grow in a
sandy soil if it is watered and fed
regularly, but the attention required
is apt to be more than most of us ·
will give. On a heavy soil less attention is needed. If drainage is
good and the ground is not packed
by trampling feet, grass may do all
right. Ideal lawn soil is a porous
loam, sufficiently well drained so
that it holds moisture and permits
some circulation of air. For various
reasons, however, the ideal soil is
seldom available. We can improve
sandy or clay soils by mixing in
some o! the opposite type, plus a
&amp;enerous proportion of humus.

School Lunch
Your child's school lunch is important! Unless he gets milk as a beverage at three meals it is difficult to
get in his quart a day. Also, because of the child's smaller stomach
capacity, dividing his food fairly
equally between all three meals is
much better than having him "catch
up" at a heavy dinner at night.
Packed lunc!1es are apt to be monotonous and unbalanced unless milk,
fruit and vegetables are included.
}Iighly seasoned foods, stimulating
beverages, and sweets should have
very little place in the child's diet.
Fruit or milk desserts may be added occasionally.

that have been especially and expensively converted for the purpose.
Seventeen ships-13 Liberty and 4
cargo ships - have been converted
to mule carriers at an average cost
ot $317,133 each. The ships are designed to carry from 320 to 699
mules- ?.'ith sick bays for 16 to 32
mules. A feature of the ships is that
the stalls are built to accomm!&gt;date mules of various sizes, from
different areas. A Missouri mule,
for example, requires more space
than tlle slightly smaller Texas
mule. Sta.ls are built crosswise, as
it has been discovered that this type

Broody Hens
Broodiness in poultry will cause
only a minimum of trouble if the
poultryman acts quickly. At the
first symptom of broodiness, the
hen should either be culled or removed to the broody coop. The
most satlsf?ctory coop is set off the
ground and has a bottom of slats or
chicken wire. It's also important to
feed broody hens the same ration
that vou feed the laying flock. Records show that when hens go broody,
tl1ey cease ~o be profitable as egg
producers unless broken up immeL t.tely
If a producer doesn't want
to se!. hens at the first broody period he should place bands on their

there are no cases pending where
either litigant has desired trial.
His is a record to be proud of.

Those who know Judge Henry
well, say be h&amp;s all the qualities
necessary for the position of

experience as county judge of
Kankakee county, his temperament, his friendly, courteous,
and sympathetic servioe to the

Praise for Britain
Although resenting Prime Minister Churchill' s criticism of Eire for
remaining neutral in the European
conflict when her participation
would have furnished the Allies with
important sea bases, Prime Minis ter de Valera complimented the
British chieftain for not violating the
small country's neutrality by force
to obtain such advantages.
Declaring that Churchill's restraint "advanced the cause of inter national morality," De Valera said:
"It is indeed fortunate that Britain's nece ssity did not reach the
point when Mr. Churchill would
have acted. All credit to him tha t
he successfully resisted the temptation."
But if De Vale ra had pra ise for
Churchill, he had c ensure, too. Answering Churchill's decla r ation that

The Ame rican voc abula ry has
been enriched by a new word which
has burdened the not e books of war
d epartment s tenogr a phe rs in Washington for a long time. When I was
in Sa n Fra ncisco I s a w its meaning
graphically illustrated.
The word is "redeployment." No,
I didn ' t m a ke a ty pographical error . Re employment we have heard
about before. ReDeployment is diffe rent. And in that word, as in
Hauptmann's "tear," can sparkle
"all the joy and all the sorrow of
the world."
This new word isn't in any dictionary. And in all the echoing acres
of the Pentagon I could find no official definition of it but in its current application it simply means
shifting a lot of American boys out
of the European theater of war
where the curtain has gone down.
That process is causing many . a
headache in the Pentagon. It wlll
cause many a heartache at home
and abroad. It will cause some happiness, too.
For the boys and the families of
the soldiers and sailors who are cast
for the second act in the tragedy of
World War II (and that is most of
them) redeployment means heartaches. For the others it means happiness. But whether they go back
to Main street and take up the plowshare or the pen, the hammer or the
school book, or whether they go on
to fresh battlefields, it is a headache as well as a heartache for the
high command.

CHAPTER VI
The cart groaned. The right wheel
-crumbled around the axle. The
whole weight of the thing rolled
slowly over into the ditch, and the
shafts twisted and upset the mule,
and the mule, which had always
feared ditches on
the
right,
screamed to find ltsel! falling into
what it had feared .
Errante hit the earth hard. He
woke up, but what with his dazedness, his drunkenness, his surprise
and his natural stupidity, he was unable to do anything except roar
wordlessly.
General Marvin was still roaring
too. "Serve him right,'' he shouted. "Holding up traffic. Trying to
stop the invasion."
A new fury rushed up the General's cheeks. "Middleton," he
shouted, "shoot that mule."
Colonel Middleton's blood froze.
He shouted back: "Do you think
it's wise, sir?"
The General shouted: ''What's
that? What's that?"
Colonel Middleton knew it was
hopeless but he shouted again: "I
said, do you think it is wise, sir?"
Trying to reason with any man, and
especially with this man at two hundred feet and the top of one's lungs
was not rewarding work.
The General shouted: "Middleton,
you trying to stop the invasion too?
Do what I say."
So Colonel Middleton pulled out his
..:::olt and fired three shots into the
head of the screaming mule.
All this was accomplished before
Errante Gaetano was able to shape
his roaring into words. He stood
there in absolute amazement at the
:shooting.
General Marvin shouted: "Let's
go, can't spend all day here."
The men got back into the armored car and the seep. As they
started up, General Marvin said:
"Got to teach these people a lesson.
Take me to the mayor of this town,
what is this town anyhow?"
And they drove off, leaving Errante sobbing on the flank of his
mule, lying with his arms around
the neck of the mule which had
had a sense of the middle but no
s ense of urgency.
The General's armored car pulled
up in front of the P a la zzo di Citta.
Lieutenant Byrd ran across the wide
sidewalk and up the marble stairs
and burst into Major Joppolo's office. He interrupted the Major in
the middle of a conversation with
Gargano, the Chief of the Carabinieri.
"General Marvin's downstairs and
wants to see you," the Lieutenant
said. "He's mad as hell, so you
better hurry."
"General Marvin,'' said Major
J oppolo, and the tone of his voice
was not of delight. Though he had
never met the General, he had heard
much about him. "I'll be right
down."
I
Lieutenant Byrd turned and ran
downstairs. Major Joppolo absentmindedly arranged the papers on his
desk in neat piles. Then he stood
up and walked out of his office. Half
way down the marble stairs he realized that he was out of uniform. He
had heard stories of General Marvin's insistence on correct uniform.
Here he was in pink pants and
khaki shirt, when he was supposed
to be in woolens. He was suddenly very frightened, and he turned
and began walking up the stairs
again, trying to figure out w)lat to
do, how to get into proper uniform.
Colonel Middleton ran to the foot
of the marble stairs and shouted
up: "Hey, you, what do you mean
by keeping the General waiting?"
"Yes, sir," Major Joppolo said.
"Be right down."
There was nothing to do. He ran
down the stairs.
When Major Joppolo reached the
armored car, the General was sitting with his left arm raised in
front of him, glaring at his wrist
watch.
Major Joppolo saluted. General
Marvin roared: "One minute and
twenty s econds. You' ve been keeping me waiting one minute and
twenty seconds. Do you think I
nave all day to wait for you? Who
are you, anyway?"
"Major Joppolo, sir, senior civil
affairs officer, town of Adana, sir."
General Marvin remembered the
cart and was apparently too a ngry
even to notice Major Joppolo' s uniform. "Major, these Italian carts
are holding up our whole invasion.
Keep them out of this town. Don't
you let another cart come across
that bridge back there into this
town. What the hell is this town,
anyway?"
"Adano, sir, town of Adano."
"Adano. Keep the carts out of
this town, you hear me?"
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of that
right away."
'l'he General shouted : "Right

away? That's not soon enough for

me."
"Sir, I'll go right up and call the
M.P.'s and tell them about it."
"That's not soon enough. I want
action. No more carts. Adano's the
name of this town, remember that
Middleton, Adana. No more cart~
at all, Major, do you understand?
What are you standing there gawking about? Action. Let's get going,
let's get out of here, do you think I
have all day?"
And before Major Joppolo could
even salute, the armored car had
roared away.
By the time he reached his desk
again, Major Joppolo realized what
the consequences of keeping the
carts out of town would be. He
knew very well how essential they
were to the life of the place.
With a heavy heart he cranked
his field telephone, asked for Rowboat Blue Forward, got the ear o!
Captain Purvis, head of the M.P.'s
in Adano, and ordered him in the
name of General Marvin, to keep
all carts out of Adano, to stop them
at the bridge on the east and at
the sulphur refinery on the west.
Then he called for Zito, his usher,
and asked him to assemble all the
officials of the town in his office.
When they were all in, Major Joppolo stood at his desk and said: "I
have promised to tell you every important thing which the American
authorities decide to do in this town .
I do not want this to be a town of
mysteries. In a democracy one ot
the most important things is for everyone to know as much as possible
about what is going on.
"The American authorities have
decided that because of military necessities it will no longer be possible for mule carts to come into the
streets of town."
Major J oppolo could see his audience suck in its collective breath.

He said: "I am not happy to have
to announce this decision. It is because of military necessities. I am
sorry. That is all."
The officials of Adano, a comiclooking collection, turned sadly to
go. They did not protest. They
had learned during the years of Fascism how to swallow their protests.
But Major Joppolo could tell that
they were not with him, that for the
first time in nine days they were
against him.
Before the first of them reached
the door, Major J oppolo said: "I
wish to tell you that I will do all
that is in my power to have this unjust order revoked."
And when the comic-looking officials o:f Adano went out of the door
of the Major's office, they were still
sad but they were for him.
The Major worried all day about
the order and wondered what he
could do about it. He slept very
badly during the night, because of
his worry.
Early in the morning, Zito, the little usher, came up to his desk and
said: "Mister Major, there are three
men to see you about the carts."
Because it worried him, the Major snapped ba ck ang rily at Zito:
"What do they wa nt about the
carts?"
"That is something the y wish to

OKINAWA.-One of the most miserable damn nights out of
hundreds of miserable nights I have spent in this war was spent
out here.
Bird Dog Clayton, and Gross and I, turned into our sacks just
after dark. So did everybody else who wasn't on guard. It was too
early to go to sleep, so we just lay there in the dark and talked.
You could hear voices faintly all over the hillside.
We didn't take off our clothes, of course; nobody does in the
field. I did take off my boots but Bird Dog and Gross left theirs on
for they had to stand watch on the field telephones from 1 till2 a. m.
The three of us lay jammed up
against each other, with Bird Dog in
the middle. We smoked one cigarette after another. We didn't have
to hide them under the blanket for
we were in a protected position

Women have done an outstanding job in this war, and nowh.ere
have their efforts been more Important than in helping with the
farm harvest.
Until complete victory is won,
there must be no letup on the

The answer is for town and city
people-especially women and youth
-to step into the breach, as they
have done for the past three years.
Farm people themselves are working harder and longer hours than
ever before. But they need extra
helpers, especially during the harvest season. That group of women
doing emergency wartime farm
work comprise the Women's Land
army. Their patriotic efforts have
saved farm crops in thousands of
cases.
The Women's Land army is a
movement rather than an organization. It is mainly a seasonal army.
In each state, it is under the direction of the state extension service,
with headquarters at the state agricultural college. Most states have
a Women's Land army supervisor
who works closely with the county

labor assistants. In most localities,

CORN I= LA;=-==...:=._

Her husband is fighting on some
Pacific island, and she is doing her
bit on the home front by working
on a Connecticut dairy farm. Her
/ uties include milking, cleaning the
barn, and caring for the calves.
own jobs. These women received prevailing farm wages for the amount
and type of work done . Besides these
a great many farm women worked
on their own and neighboring farms.
Who Are WLA Workers?
All women who help in the wartime production of food, feed, or fiber
are a part of the Women's Land
army. Women from farms, cities
and towns . . . farm women who
work longer hours than ever before
. . . women from offices, factories
and stores . . . women whose husbands are over~cas ... housewives,
college girls and teachers .... They
are women of all ages who spend
all summer, all year, or only a few
hours, a week end or a vacation
period- helping bring through the
farm crops our country must have.
Nnrth, south, east and west, women do all kinds of farm work. Singly
and in groups, they pick beans, tomatoes and other vegetables. They
detassel corn, shock grain, pick potatoes , pick and pack berries, apple ~. peaches, grapes, other fruits
ar.lf nuts.
They work in cotton,
grain, tobacco and flax; drive tractors, farm trucks and combines;
milk the cows and care fQr poultry
flocks. In brief, as and where needed, women help plant, cultivate, and
bas·vest the food and fiber crops and
eare for the livestock- all so necessary in the war effort.
Farm wives and daughters-hundreds of thousands of them-do a
magnificent job, helping with haying, milking, feeding livestock. They
handle just about every farm task,

Women's underlying motive for
doing farm work is, for the most
part, patriotism-a deep desire to
help . . . to have a part in feeding
our ;;oldiers and our allies-and an
intense conviction that no food
should go to waste. As a 60-year-old
woman said, after picking 3 tons of
beans, "I'm glad to do it . . . you
see, I have a son in the air corps."
Of women who do farm work, by
far the greatest number live at home
and work by the day, or part-time,
on farms nearby.
Spend Vacations on Farms.
Some women, especially college
girls, teachers and business women,
spend part of their vacation time in
labor supply camps, working on surrounding farms. For one week, two
weeks, or the entire summer, they
cultivate and pick vegetables or
harvest fruit. Many Smith college
students, as a part of their college's
summer plan of "work or study"
formed groups which lived as one
household in the farming area where
they worked.
Camps for women workers are operated in many states. Last year,
New York state's WLA camps included about 3,000 New York City
women and girls on their vacation
time. Life in camp is not all work.
Women find it interesting and broadening, with the companionship of
women from many different places.

It is incorrect to use the term · cw·"

says the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York City. The fact is that
the cur was a definite brePd of rtog,
now extinct, but very common in the
southern and western parts of the
United States until· long after the
Civil War. Curs were all-around dogs
pnrticularly adapted to the needs of
the early settlers, weighed from 50
to 60 pounds, were usually brindle or
Yl'llow in color, with broad skulls,
deep chests, short, strong backs and
coarse but smooth coats.
Accot·ding to Judy's "Dog Encyclopedia," England also had a dog which
was known as cur. W11en dogs were
first taxed in England in 1796, specific exemption was provided for
sheepdogs, which the law described
as "tailless dogs." As a result, many
dogs had their breed changed quickly
through the process of bobtailing
(Perhaps this is where the confusion
of cur with mongrel began.) To curtail originally meant to shorten the
tail, but in time the word came to be
applied to any act of shortening or
being curt.

Hope for marked improvement in
the meat situation by next fall and
through 1946 was dampened by the
Agricultural Adjustment administration's report that this year's estimated pig crops of 87,200,000 head
would fall about 5,300,000 below War
Food administration goals and result in a loss of eight pounds of pork
per person.
At the same time, the AA.A declared recent surveys showed that
plantings of such important food
and feed crops as corn, potatoes,
dry beans, sweet potatoes, sugor
beets and cane, peanuts and flaxseed also would drop below WFA
goals.
If 2,500,000 head short of the 55,500,000 goal as estimated, the spring
pig crop would affect fall and winter supplies of pork, wh\le a 2,750.000 ·shortage in the 37,000,000 gonl
of fall production would be felt in
the summer of 1946. To increase pig
breeding, both congressional committees and the AAA recommended
a boost in the present support price
from the $13.00 per hundredwdght
level.

TilE Sl'ORY TnUS FAR: The Amerl·
u.n troopt arrived at Adano, a seaport
In Italy, with MaJor VIctor Joppolo, the
Amrot omcer In charge. Sergeant Borth,
an M.P., was In charge of security. The
MaJor aet out at once to win the confi·
dence of the citizens and promised to
replace the town bell which the Ger·
mana bad taken. General ~Jarvin, chief
of American forces In that section, waa
delayed at the outskirts of Adano, by a
c:art driven by Errante oaetano. The
Gener3l ordered the cart thrown orr the
road and thl' mole shot. Be then ordered
Major Joppolo to see that aU carts were
kept out of the city In the future. The
orders were Issued against tbe wlsbea
and better Judgment of the MaJor.

CHAPTER VII
Erba, like the town, had run dry.
He turned to his friends. One of
them suid: "Erba, the proclamation, the matter of being clean."
Erba said: "Oh yes, the proclamation. In one proclamation, Mister Major, I forget the number of
the proclamation, there are so
many, does the number matter, Mister Major?"
"No, Erba. I am sorry, there are
too many proclamations." And the
Major turned to Erba's friends, who
were a little more intelligent and
would understand. "That is the fault
of the authorities. I did not wish to
post so many proclamations. That
is not my fault. I am sorry. The
number does not matter, Erba."
Erba said: "The number does not
matter. The proclamation says it is
necessary to be clean. It says the
people must be clean with water,
and even the streets must be clean.
Our streets, which have been the
same since the time of-who was it
the time of, Afronti?"
A!ronti roared: "Since the time of
· Pietro of Aragona and of Roberto
King of N a pies."
Erba said: "The streets have been
the same. Now the proclamation
speaks of being clean with water.
'The I e is much sameness which has
a ·cumulated on the streets since
the time of those men of whom
Afronti speaks. This being clean
1akes much water. My cart is on
the other side of the bridge, Mister
Major."
Major J oppolo said: "The cleanliness is very important, Erba. Let
us make Adana the cleanest town
in the whole province of Vicinamare."
Erba caught the challenge. His
eye brightened. "We will do this
thing, even if the sameness has piled
up since the time of Jesus, Mister
Major." Then his eye went dull
again. "But my cart is on the other
side of the bridge. You have said
it may not pass."
The Major said: "Let the next
-one speak. You. Your name." And
he pointed at the third man with his
pen.
Erba said: "Thank you 1 Mister
Major."
The third man jumped up. He
was quite fat but comparatively
handsome. His hair was plastered
down with something off the axle of
his cart, and his black coat was
the newest looking of the four. "Basile Giovanni, Mister Major," he
said.
"You wish?"
Basile spoke gravely and slowly.
"Mister Major," he said, "the worst
.()f all the things about the carts is
-the food. You can see, Mister Major"-and he ran his hands down
·over the size of his belly-"that I
am a man who can speak of food
with understanding. This matter of
th~ carts does not hurt me.
I am
like a man with money in the bank,
I have something to draw on in
hard times. But there are others in
Adano who are not so lucky. Gali·()10 Bartolomeo is so thin that you
can count the several teeth of his
mouth even when his lips are closed.
The nine children of Raffaela who is
the wife of Manette have big bellies,
but their bellies are big only with
the gas of hunger. Shall I name
others who are very thin?"
The Major said: "No, go on."
Basile said: ''I am the one to
tell you about the food and the
carts. You have not seen my cart,
have you, Mister Major?"
"I may have. I have seen many
of them."
And then, with great craft, Basile
said: "There is nothing in all the
proclamation's , even though it takes
you a week to read them, which
says that the Americans came to
Adano in order to make people die
of hunger. And there is nothing in
all the proclamations which refers
to such things as the dead mule of
Errante Gaetano. Why then do we
have this thing of the carts?"
The Major reached for the field
telephone, cranked the handle and
said: "Give me Rowboat Blue Forward." .
While he waited for an answer,
the Major said to Basile gruffly:
"Sit down.
"Hello. This Rowboat Blue Forward'? Captain Purvis, please . . . .
"Purvis? Joppolo. Listen. . . .
"No, now this is serious, Purvis.
·This thing about the carts. I've
made up my mind. By one sentence
General Marvin destroyed the work
of nine days in this town. I know it
may mean a court martial, but I've
decided to countermand his order.
What? . . .
"I know I'm taking a chance, but
I've got to do it. We can't let
these people starve. . . .
"I have to do it, Purvis. This
town is dying. No food can get into
the town if the carts don't come.
The town depends on the carts for

water: there isn't any running water here, you know that. The people can't go out into the fields to
work in the morning. Taking carts
away from this town is like taking
automobiles away from a country
town in the States. You just can't
do it all at once. People will die.
I'm not here to kill people."
Captain Purvis evidently put up
an argument.
Finally the Major said: "Purvis,
I order you, on my authority, to
start letting carts back into the
town, beginning now. I take absolute and complete responsibility for
countermanding General Marvin's
order. . . .
"Listen friend, it we never took
chances around here, this place
would go right on being a Fascism.
All right, it's on my responsibility."
The three cartmen sat through
the telephone conversation not comprehending. To judge by their faces
they seemed to think that Major
Joppolo was devising some punishment for them. They had the habit
of fear, and they thought that this
man of authority would of course
be exactly like the men of authority
they had known for so long.
Major Joppolo hung up. He turned
to the three cartmen and said: "You
may bring your carts into the town."
For a long moment they did not
understand. Then they stood up and
began shouting and waving their
caps.
"We thank you, we thank you and
we kiss your hand," they roared.
"Oh, Mister Major, there has never been a thing like this," the fat
one named Basile shouted, "that the

u~eful Permanent Mag-nets
Permanent magnets are those that
will retain the ir magnetic properlies indefinitely. Probably their oldest and most familiar useful form
is the compass needle. According
to l£'gend, the Chinese Emperor
Hoang-Ti used a magnet in this form
to guide his chariot in 2600 B. C.
From this simple beginning permanent magnets have been developed
to such an extent that, during World
War II, their use has enabled our
fighting men to replace bulky, heavy
equipment with portable models of
n:duced s ize and weight; has made
possible hundreds of devices for airplanes, and has also permitted an increase in the sensitivity of many
measuring and electrical communication instruments.

of the vehicle were torn loose
trom their resting place witH
tremendous force. The chains in
their flight struck Corporal Rahn
in the face, causinl{ minor
lacerations at'out the eyes and
forehead. He said, ·'I thought
the Nips were shelling us
again. 1 never dreamed of
striking a mine as I did, because
I had been driving over the same
spot for the past several days. I
just cnn't figure it out."
Rahn is a scout corporal in an
artillery battalion commanded by
Lt. Col. Dwight M. McCullum of
Bin~hamton. N.Y. He has bPen
serving with the famed 27tn
Division for the past four years,

early to go to sleep, so we just lay there in the dark and talked.

We didn't take off our clothes, of course; nobody does in the
field. I did take off my boots but Bird Dog and Gross left theirs on
for they had to stand watch on the field telephones from 1 till2 a. m.
The three of us lay jammed up
against each other, with Bird Dog in
the middle. We smoked one cigarette after another. We didn't have
to hide them under the blanket for

where a cigarette couldn't be seen

Women have done an outstanding job in this war, and nowh.ere
have their efforts been more Important than in helping with the
farm harvest.
Until complete victory is won,
there must be no letup on the
home front. In this critical year
of the war, the high rate o.f food
production must be contmued.
At the same time, the farm labor
sho~tage will be even more seri-~

The answer is for town and city
people-especially women and youth
-to step into the breach, as they
have done for the past three years.
Farm people themselves are working harder and longer hours than
ever before. But they need extra
helpers, especially during the harvest season. That group of women
doing emergency wartime farm
work comprise the Women's Land
army. Their patriotic efforts have
saved farm crops in thousands of
cases.
The Women's Land army is a
movement rather than an organization. It is mainly a seasonal army.
In each state, it is under the direction of the state extension service,
with headquarters at the state agricultural college. Most states have
a Women's Land army supervisor
who works closely with the county
agricultural agents and their farm
labor assistants. In most localities,

Her husband is fighting on some
Pacific island, and she is doing her
bit on the home front by working
on a Connecticut dairy farm. Her
/ uties include milking, cleaning the
barn, and caring for the calves.
own jobs. These women received prevailing farm wages for the amount
and type of work done . Besides these
a great many farm women worked
on their own and neighboring farms.
Who Are WLA Workers?
All women who help in the wartime production of food, feed, or fiber
are a part of the Women's Land
army. Women from farms, cities
and towns . . . farm women who
work longer hours than ever before
. . . women from offices, factories
and stores . . . women whose husbands are over~cas ... housewives,
college girls and teachers .... They
are women of all ages who spend
all summer, all year, or only a few
hours, a week end or a vacation
period- helping bring through the
farm crops our country must have.
Nnrth, south, east and west, women do all kinds of farm work. Singly
and in groups, they pick beans, tomatoes and other vegetables. They
detassel corn, shock grain, pick potatoes , pick and pack berries, apple ~. peaches, grapes, other fruits
ar.lf nuts.
They work in cotton,
grain, tobacco and flax; drive tractors, farm trucks and combines;
milk the cows and care fQr poultry
flocks. In brief, as and where needed, women help plant, cultivate, and
bas·vest the food and fiber crops and
eare for the livestock- all so necessary in the war effort.
Farm wives and daughters-hundreds of thousands of them-do a
magnificent job, helping with haying, milking, feeding livestock. They
handle just about every farm task,

Women's underlying motive for
doing farm work is, for the most
part, patriotism-a deep desire to
help . . . to have a part in feeding
our ;;oldiers and our allies-and an
intense conviction that no food
should go to waste. As a 60-year-old
woman said, after picking 3 tons of
beans, "I'm glad to do it . . . you
see, I have a son in the air corps."
Of women who do farm work, by
far the greatest number live at home
and work by the day, or part-time,
on farms nearby.
Spend Vacations on Farms.
Some women, especially college
girls, teachers and business women,
spend part of their vacation time in
labor supply camps, working on surrounding farms. For one week, two
weeks, or the entire summer, they
cultivate and pick vegetables or
harvest fruit. Many Smith college
students, as a part of their college's
summer plan of "work or study"
formed groups which lived as one
household in the farming area where
they worked.
Camps for women workers are operated in many states. Last year,
New York state's WLA camps included about 3,000 New York City
women and girls on their vacation
time. Life in camp is not all work.
Women find it interesting and broadening, with the companionship of
women from many different places.

It is incorrect to use the term · cw·"
when referring to a mongrel dob
says the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York City. The fact is that
the cur was a definite brePd of rtog,
now extinct, but very common in the
southern and western parts of the
United States until· long after the
Civil War. Curs were all-around dogs
pnrticularly adapted to the needs of
the early settlers, weighed from 50
to 60 pounds, were usually brindle or
Yl'llow in color, with broad skulls,
deep chests, short, strong backs and
coarse but smooth coats.
Accot·ding to Judy's "Dog Encyclopedia," England also had a dog which
was known as cur. W11en dogs were
first taxed in England in 1796, specific exemption was provided for
sheepdogs, which the law described
as "tailless dogs." As a result, many
dogs had their breed changed quickly
through the process of bobtailing
(Perhaps this is where the confusion
of cur with mongrel began.) To curtail originally meant to shorten the
tail, but in time the word came to be
applied to any act of shortening or
being curt.

A History of the P.,ychiatric Sen:ice 1771-1936." Dr. Russell, professor of psychiatry, emeritus, at Corne11 university, and consu1t ing psychiatrist of the New York hospital,

Hope for marked improvement in
the meat situation by next fall and
through 1946 was dampened by the
Agricultural Adjustment administration's report that this year's estimated pig crops of 87,200,000 head
would fall about 5,300,000 below War
Food administration goals and result in a loss of eight pounds of pork
per person.
At the same time, the AA.A declared recent surveys showed that
plantings of such important food
and feed crops as corn, potatoes,
dry beans, sweet potatoes, sugor
beets and cane, peanuts and flaxseed also would drop below WFA
goals.
If 2,500,000 head short of the 55,500,000 goal as estimated, the spring
pig crop would affect fall and winter supplies of pork, wh\le a 2,750.000 ·shortage in the 37,000,000 gonl
of fall production would be felt in
the summer of 1946. To increase pig
breeding, both congressional committees and the AAA recommended
a boost in the present support price
from the $13.00 per hundredwdght
level.

In Italy, with MaJor VIctor Joppolo, the
Amrot omcer In charge. Sergeant Borth,
an M.P., was In charge of security. The
MaJor aet out at once to win the confi·
dence of the citizens and promised to
replace the town bell which the Ger·
mana bad taken. General ~Jarvin, chief
of American forces In that section, waa
delayed at the outskirts of Adano, by a
c:art driven by Errante oaetano. The
Gener3l ordered the cart thrown orr the
road and thl' mole shot. Be then ordered
Major Joppolo to see that aU carts were
kept out of the city In the future. The
orders were Issued against tbe wlsbea
and better Judgment of the MaJor.

CHAPTER VII
Erba, like the town, had run dry.
He turned to his friends. One of
them suid: "Erba, the proclamation, the matter of being clean."
Erba said: "Oh yes, the proclamation. In one proclamation, Mister Major, I forget the number of
the proclamation, there are so
many, does the number matter, Mister Major?"
"No, Erba. I am sorry, there are
too many proclamations." And the
Major turned to Erba's friends, who
were a little more intelligent and
would understand. "That is the fault
of the authorities. I did not wish to
post so many proclamations. That
is not my fault. I am sorry. The
number does not matter, Erba."
Erba said: "The number does not
matter. The proclamation says it is
necessary to be clean. It says the
people must be clean with water,
and even the streets must be clean.
Our streets, which have been the
same since the time of-who was it
the time of, Afronti?"
A!ronti roared: "Since the time of
· Pietro of Aragona and of Roberto
King of N a pies."
Erba said: "The streets have been
the same. Now the proclamation
speaks of being clean with water.
'The I e is much sameness which has
a ·cumulated on the streets since
the time of those men of whom
Afronti speaks. This being clean
1akes much water. My cart is on
the other side of the bridge, Mister
Major."
Major J oppolo said: "The cleanliness is very important, Erba. Let
us make Adana the cleanest town
in the whole province of Vicinamare."
Erba caught the challenge. His
eye brightened. "We will do this
thing, even if the sameness has piled
up since the time of Jesus, Mister
Major." Then his eye went dull
again. "But my cart is on the other
side of the bridge. You have said
it may not pass."
The Major said: "Let the next
-one speak. You. Your name." And
he pointed at the third man with his
pen.
Erba said: "Thank you 1 Mister
Major."
The third man jumped up. He
was quite fat but comparatively
handsome. His hair was plastered
down with something off the axle of
his cart, and his black coat was
the newest looking of the four. "Basile Giovanni, Mister Major," he
said.
"You wish?"
Basile spoke gravely and slowly.
"Mister Major," he said, "the worst
.()f all the things about the carts is
-the food. You can see, Mister Major"-and he ran his hands down
·over the size of his belly-"that I
am a man who can speak of food
with understanding. This matter of
th~ carts does not hurt me.
I am
like a man with money in the bank,
I have something to draw on in
hard times. But there are others in
Adano who are not so lucky. Gali·()10 Bartolomeo is so thin that you
can count the several teeth of his
mouth even when his lips are closed.
The nine children of Raffaela who is
the wife of Manette have big bellies,
but their bellies are big only with
the gas of hunger. Shall I name
others who are very thin?"
The Major said: "No, go on."
Basile said: ''I am the one to
tell you about the food and the
carts. You have not seen my cart,
have you, Mister Major?"
"I may have. I have seen many
of them."
And then, with great craft, Basile
said: "There is nothing in all the
proclamation's , even though it takes
you a week to read them, which
says that the Americans came to
Adano in order to make people die
of hunger. And there is nothing in
all the proclamations which refers
to such things as the dead mule of
Errante Gaetano. Why then do we
have this thing of the carts?"
The Major reached for the field
telephone, cranked the handle and
said: "Give me Rowboat Blue Forward." .
While he waited for an answer,
the Major said to Basile gruffly:
"Sit down.
"Hello. This Rowboat Blue Forward'? Captain Purvis, please . . . .
"Purvis? Joppolo. Listen. . . .
"No, now this is serious, Purvis.
·This thing about the carts. I've
made up my mind. By one sentence
General Marvin destroyed the work
of nine days in this town. I know it
may mean a court martial, but I've
decided to countermand his order.
What? . . .
"I know I'm taking a chance, but
I've got to do it. We can't let
these people starve. . . .
"I have to do it, Purvis. This
town is dying. No food can get into
the town if the carts don't come.
The town depends on the carts for

water: there isn't any running water here, you know that. The people can't go out into the fields to
work in the morning. Taking carts
away from this town is like taking
automobiles away from a country
town in the States. You just can't
do it all at once. People will die.
I'm not here to kill people."
Captain Purvis evidently put up
an argument.
Finally the Major said: "Purvis,
I order you, on my authority, to
start letting carts back into the
town, beginning now. I take absolute and complete responsibility for
countermanding General Marvin's
order. . . .
"Listen friend, it we never took
chances around here, this place
would go right on being a Fascism.
All right, it's on my responsibility."
The three cartmen sat through
the telephone conversation not comprehending. To judge by their faces
they seemed to think that Major
Joppolo was devising some punishment for them. They had the habit
of fear, and they thought that this
man of authority would of course
be exactly like the men of authority
they had known for so long.
Major Joppolo hung up. He turned
to the three cartmen and said: "You
may bring your carts into the town."
For a long moment they did not
understand. Then they stood up and
began shouting and waving their
caps.
"We thank you, we thank you and
we kiss your hand," they roared.
"Oh, Mister Major, there has never been a thing like this," the fat
one named Basile shouted, "that the

, Remember . the Kid in Upper

home folks, ev-en under the murderous fire of enemy machine
gunners. The
kid came
home the other day to receive a decoration. Unashamedly he
recalled saying this simple prayer:

u~eful Permanent Mag-nets
Permanent magnets are those that
will retain the ir magnetic properlies indefinitely. Probably their oldest and most familiar useful form
is the compass needle. According
to l£'gend, the Chinese Emperor
Hoang-Ti used a magnet in this form
to guide his chariot in 2600 B. C.
From this simple beginning permanent magnets have been developed
to such an extent that, during World
War II, their use has enabled our
fighting men to replace bulky, heavy
equipment with portable models of
n:duced s ize and weight; has made
possible hundreds of devices for airplanes, and has also permitted an increase in the sensitivity of many
measuring and electrical communication instruments.

forehead. He said, ·'I thought
the Nips were shelling us
again. 1 never dreamed of
striking a mine as I did, because
I had been driving over the same
spot for the past several days. I
just cnn't figure it out."

with each new experience there was

what the old pals from back home are

Now that the fight is over in Europe,
I guess a lot of the boys from over in

An Old Friend Talc"es Up

Where Ernie Pyle Left Off
Lauds Famed War Correspondent
For Loyalty to His Following
By LEE G. MILLER
MANILA- (by wireless) - . They've asked me to take over
Ernie Pyle's column. I have agreed to try it, though with misgivings.
I'm not going to try to "write like Ernie." All I can do is write
like Miller. If occasionally something pops out that looks as if I
were consciously imitating Ernie's way of writing, please bear in
mind that he and I worked together almost constantly since 1923
when we both got jobs on the Washington Daily News. Such long
association is apt to result in some similarities of thought and
mannerism.

Light Supper Is Cooling on a Hot Night
&lt;See Recipes Below)

Keep Kitchens Cool
Nothing makes the family's appetite wane quite so quickly as a meal
that makes the
~
......
house uncomfortably warm dur, ~))
ing hot weather.
,L
A cool and comfortable room, set
~
with a table that
suggests coolness,
1
will be much
more comfortable all the way
around.
Mother would do best to plan a
meal that is nourishing but not too
hearty. The main dish and vegetables )nay be warm, but dessert and
salad should be icy cold to suggest
that summer was kept in mind during the planning of the menu.
If the bulk of the actual cooking
is done during the cool mornings,
then the kitchen can retain some
semblance of coolness during the
evening hours. Such things as cooking filling for pies, making cookies
or cake or cooking vegetables for a
salad can be prepared before the
sun rises high in the sky and sends
the temperature to the highest rungs
of the thermometer.
Main entrees, if broiled, will also
help during hot weather. They take
1only a few mintjtes to cook, like this
/low-point grill:
Hamburger Grill.
(Serves 6)
1 pound ham burger
onion, grated, if desired
1 teaspoon salt
% teaspoon pepper
4 sliees bacon
2 large bananas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Combine meat, onion, salt and
pepper. Mix well. Form into 4
cakes about lk
inch thick. Arrange strips of
r
bacon on broiling
rack. Broil slowly until brown,
turning when necessary. Drain on
unglazed paper while other food
'broils. Arrange meat cakes on rack.
Brush bananas with lemon juice and
place alongside meat. Broil until
!meat is browned. To serve, arrange hamburgers on individual
serving plates. Top each with a
-strip of bacon and place broiled ba.nana slice at each side. Potato
chips and tomato cucumber salad
may be served with the grill.
Chicken is delectable when cooked
a Ia king, but it's invitingly cool
when served molded. Then it can
be sliced and served garnished with
quartered hard-boiled eggs and to.Inato wedges:
Molded Chicken a Ia King.
1
(Serves 8)
-4 tablespoons butter or substitute
~4 cup chopped green pepper
lh cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup milk, scalded
lh cup hot chicken stock
~ cup chopped pimiento
1 cup diced cooked chicken
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water

Lynn Says
Perfect Salads: You'll like oranges sliced or sectioned and
rolled in shredded coconut on lettuce cups.
Peach or apricot halves placed
on top of shredded cabbage which
is rich in vitamin C is a delightful
salad for hot weather eating.
Blend mayonnaise with peach
juice or sour cream for a really
smooth dressing.
Odd bits of meat go well riding
the tops of vegetable sal ads.
Shred or cube them and extend
with bits of cheese, if necessary.
Thousand Is land dressing which
is so excellent on quarters of
chilled lettuce is even better if it
has a few wedges of meaty ripe
olives in it.

Melt butter or substitute. Then
add green pepper and mushrooms
and cook slowly until tender but not
browned. Blend in milk, stock, pimiento and chicken. Beat egg yolks,
add lemon juice and pour a little of
the liquid over the chicken mixture,
stirring constantly. Stir egg yolks
into the rest of the chicken mixture
and cook over boiling water for 5
minutes, still stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add gelatin
which has been soaked in cold water for 5 minutes. Turn into a mold
and chill until set. Unmold and
garnish with hard-cooked eggs quartered, tomato wedges and parsley.
One of the important points in
cooking fish '1s to avoid overcooking.
Here is a dish that can be turned
out in less than half an hour:
Mackerel With Bacon and Onions.
(Serves 4)
%. pound cleaned .fillets of mackerel
Salt and pepper
1 cup sliced onions
4 tablespoons butter or drippings
cup soft bread crumbs
2 slices crisp bacon, broiled
Separate fillets and arrange in
greased, shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute onions gently in butter until tender but
not browned.
Turn out on fish,
sprinkle with crumbs and top with
bacon. Bake in a hot ( 400-degree)
oven until fish is done and crumbs
are browned, about 15 minutes.
Hot evenings sometimes call for
hearty main dish salads. Use a good
protein food as a base so that it will
be nourishing enough even for so-o
big a ppetites. Here are two good
suggestions:
Baked Bean and Egg Salad.
(Serves 6)
1 medium sized can of baked beans
4 sweet pickles, chopped
3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced (reserve 6 slices for garnishing)
¥2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Chill beans until cold. Add the
remaining ingredients in order
given, mixing
carefully. Arrange on nests of
lettuce and garnish with sliced,
hard-cooked egg and parsley.
Salmon Salad.
(Serves 6 to 8)
6 hard-cooked eggs
1 pound salmon, cooked or canned,
shredded
1 medium green pepper, chopped
% cnp shredded cabbage
cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons grated onion
12 slices chopped sweet pickle
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
~ teaspoon pepper
After salmon is shredded mix with
chopped egg whites, green pepper,
cabbage and celery, grated onion
and pickles. Mash the egg yolks
and blend well with mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Combine the two mixtures, blending
thoroughly. Serve in cups of lettuce, garnished with radishes and
whole slices of pickle.
French Fried Shrimp.
(Serves 6)
2 cups corn flakes
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 cups cooked jumbo shrimp
Roll corn flakes into fine crumbs.
Dip shrimp in egg and then in. cornflake crumbs. Fry in deep fat u11til
brown (365 degrees F.) Serv~ p1ain
or with tartar sauce.

Released by Western Newspaper tlllolon.

What I'm driving at is this: I will
feel miserable if people get the idea
I have the impertinence to aspire to
fill Ernie's shoes.
Maybe I can fill the
space where his
copy has run, but
I'm fully aware that
nobody will ever fill
the place that Ernie
won in the thoughts
and hearts of so
many millions of
Lee G. Miller Americans.
Other correspondents are always trying to figure out
the reason for Ernie's great success.
I don't know that I have the right
answer to that one. But my guess
is that the basic reason was quite
simple-that Ernie was a very competent craftsman, skilled from those
years he devoted as a desk man to
polishing the copy of other people,
and-this is more important-he had
a warmth about him, and an understanding of people.
He used to say of certain friends
that there was "a harmony" between them and there came to be a
"harmony" between Ernie and, the
Lord only knows why, many people
who were actually complete strangers to him, but who regarded him
as a personal friend.
It was that friendship of those unknown readers that drove Ernie to
his death. Perhaps it will sound
mawkish to put it in words, but it
is a fact that he felt he couldn't reject the responsibility imposed by
the devotion of those strangers who
were his friends. He forced himself,
against the advice of friends and
against his own gnawing fear of
death, to go back into action.

Took His Chances
With the Rest

,.

Commander Vic Blakeslee of the
navy was here the other night. He
was with Ernie on Guam. He said
he pleaded with Ernie not go to
ashore with the troops in the Ryukyus.
1
' He was looking pale and tired,"
Vic said. "I tried to tell him he
was too useful a citizen to take
chances with his life. I told him he
was surely going to get killed if he
kept on pressing his luck. But his
mind was made up and I couldn't do
anything about it."
It may be that Ernie was getting
self-conscious. I mean he had become such a celebrity that he was
treated like royalty wherever he
went: Special favors were showered
on him. The big shots curried him.
And I suspect that he had an uncomfortable feeling about all thisa feeling that this was very nice
but it wasn't his way, that he had
to get back where he belonged, with
the troops.
I said long ago that if Ernie ever
got killed I'd go home at once and
try to write a biography of him. It
ought to be done. But it looks as if
I'll have to stay overseas a while.
Maybe Lt. Comdr. Max Miller, author of "I Cover the Waterfront"
and many other books, would do a
biography of Ernie. Max loved him,
and Max was with him for weeks in
the Pacific.
But nobody ought to write a book
about Ernie without Jerry's help.
Jerry is Ernie's wife-"That Girl"
he used to mention in his column.
If Jerry were in better h ealth she
ought to write a book herself. She
knew Ernie far better than anybody
else ever did. She writes beautifully.
But J erry hasn't been well these
past few years, and now that the
thing has happened that she dreaded during those lonely days and
1 years in Albuquerque-well, I guess
it's out of the question.
If Max or somebody does write a
book about Ernie, it ought to be the
whole story, not just a gilded "suecess story" or a Parson Weems
fable.
Maybe John Steinbeck would do it,
or Ernie's old friend Paige Cavanaugh, or Milton Mackaye or Dorathy Disney or any one of many writing people who were Ernie's close
friends. But let them picture the

•
whole man. Ernie was no cardboard
saint. He u1&gt;ed bad words sometimes. He drank sometimes. It was
fun for him to relax with friends
over a few highballs.
Any biographer of Ernie should go
to Indiana and talk 'to Ernie's fathe r
and his Aunt Mary, and to his
schoolmates at Indiana university.
He ought to talk to people who
worked with him in the old days in
Washington when we were young
and carefree and Ernie met Jerry.
And with some of the old aviation
crowd who used to gather at Ernie's
and Jerry's place at 456 N St. S. W.,
in Washington-! think that was the
number-and talk shop or sweat out
the disappearance of a mail pilot.
It ought to be a careful job, not a
slapdash thing to "catch the market." I don't think Ernie is going to
be forgotten in a hurry.

Quench ThiTSt

By Helmetful11
We jeeped northward through Manila, up crowded Rizal avenue with
its hundreds of tiny shops and its
sidewalks aswarm with Filipinos
and sight-seeing soldiers and sailors.
Out past the quaintly beautiful
Chinese cemetery with its pagodaed
shrines, past the Balintewok brewery in the city's outskirts where conquering doughfoots paused in Februa ry to quench their thirst by the helmetfuls.
And on up the concrete highway,
between rice fields, over the Meccano-like Bailey bridges and other
bridges of timber that our engineers
had installed alongside the misshapen wrecks of prewar spans.
We paused from time to time to
let a carabao lumbe r across the
road to his wallow, or to let an MP
check our trip ticket, or to sit out
~ congestion caused by slow-moving
Filipino vehicles drawn by undersized horses or plodding water buffalo.
We veered to the right, eastward
of Mount Arayat, which rears in
lorlely grandeur from the fertile
plain. As darkness fell the rain
started, gently at first but finally in
torrential bucketfuls against which
the jeep top was as useless as
cheesecloth.
We came upon a stalled truckful
of dripping soldiers, and g.av€ them
a tow. Three times their motor got
started and we stopped to undo the
tow rope, but three times their engine sputtered out again. After some
miles it got going properly and we
drove on unencumbered through the
dowppour, which by now was getting chill.
Finally we reached the division' s
rear echelon headquarters, where
we wolfed some cheese, bread and
coffee, got into dry underwear and
hit the sack in a comfortable billet.
The next morning we drove on to
the division command post and were
getting settled in a pyramidal tent
when batteries of 155 mm. Long
Toms a'nd 240 howitzers, emplace1
almost within spitting distance, began their morning calisthenics with
blasts that rippled the tent.
At the G2 tent, Lt. Col. Jay D. Vanderpool, who is only 28, gave us the
best briefing I'd ever had, tracing
the progress of the division on an
excellent r elief map.
Brig. Gen. James L . ("Dusty")
Dalton dropped by for a talk. He
turned out to be a West Point class
mate and brother-in-law of my
friend Col. Dodd Starbird, who he
believed was now with General Patton.
(I had just finished writing thisthree days after that conversationwhen a soldier brought word that
a Jap sniper had killed General Dalton, of whom more later.)
I went around to pay my respects
to the division commanding general,
Maj. Gen. Charles L. Mullins Jr., a
West Pointer whose wife lives in
Losolivos, Calif.
General Mullins knew Ernie Pyle.
That was years ago when Ernie and
Jerry were touring Central America
and Mullins was establishing a military academy for Nicaragua. Ernie
wrote a piece about him.

Yanks Find Colonel Hayashi Tough Customer
The men of this division are
piqued because somehow people
seem to regard the campaign for
Balete pass as part and parcel of
the recent drive for Baguio, the
Philippine summer capital. Baguio
is only 35 miles away as the crow
flies, but tactically speaking it might
almost be on another island. Baguio
fell weeks ago. Balete pass wasn't
pronounced officially secured until

the day I arrived here.
This is mountain fighting, ridge by
ridge, against a J ap who is a master at defensive exploitation of such
terrain. The J ap is Colonel Hayashi,
the same Hayashi who when the first
cavalry trapped him in Santo Tomas
internment camp at Manila February 3, used Ameri1~an hostages to
bargain a safe exit for himself and
his men.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SEVERAL hardy vegetables will
withstand frosts and even freezes
and thus may become a part of the
fall garden. P lantings of these vegetables in August, September and
October and in some sections of the
country, even later, may be made
and still harvest a crop. They include beets, collards, kale, lettuce.
mustard, spinach and turnips.
In these months
too, it is time to
look forward to next
year's garden. It is
a good time to start
that compost pile
and have it ready
for the spring plantm•
ing. It is a good
time to spade up
1
that portion of your
garden for the very early plantings
next year. It is time to sow a cover
crop for the winter which is a very
good practice. These cover crops
may include clover, rye, wheat or
some other such crop, but 1t is advisable to consult your local
county agent or agricultural college
to determine the most profitable
winter cover in your own locality.
Have you proper storage facilities
for your surplus root crops such as
potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips?
If not, now is the time to get busy.
' If you do not have a proper base1 ment in your home, that is one that
remains cool enough to properly
store the vegetables, consult your
county agent about this too. He will
be able to advise you how to store
these vegetables economically so
that they will remain in good condition throughout the winter.
These fall months too will
give you time to burn diseased
residue of your crops for it is
not a good thing to let them lie
about the place and be overlooked in the spring.
The successful gardener, after his
harvest, can also take stock of his
experience during the season to determine what vegetables.he will not
plant next year.
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the importance of that compost pile, particularly in the towns
and cities where organic matter is
not readily available to improve the
soil and workability of the garden
plot. In the fall when leaves and
dried lawn clippings and other dry
grasses are readily at hand, it does
not require too much work to throw
these materials into a flat pile,
alternate with layers of dirt. The
dirt layers should be two to three
inches thick with the gr;iss and

SNAPPY FACTS

~
RUBBER

.'
Rubber contracts and ripples Into
on unstretched slate in much the
same way as on earthworm moves
across tho 'urfaco of tho ground.

From April 1, 1942, to August
31, 1944, the total amount of
natural rubber imported into
the United Statea was 214,148 long tons. India and
Africa supplied 35.3%; 31.90/o
came from latin America, and
15.3o/o from liberia. The re•
maining 17.5o/o came from
1hlpmenta in transit when
•ourcea were lost to Japan,
Busses now corry more than half
the total number of persons trans~
ported by Intercity public carrion
In the Unit•d States,

The result of a well-planned garden, filled shelves.
leaves or other vegetation approximately twice that thick. Generous
handfuls of commercial fertilizer
should be thrown over the vegetation to aid in its proper decomposition.
The gardener will find that next
spring his compost will enable him
to garden more successfully and
easier and that it will be well worth
the added labor.

I

Winter Care of
Tools Important
Now is the time also to see that
tools are properly put away, that
they are free from soil. The spade
and hoe can be sharpened ready
to use when spring spading time
comes. If there is any. indication
that fertilizer or insecticides or fungicides will be scarce, the fall and
winter months are good times to l ay
in a supply, for there is little or
no demand for them now and they
may be readily available.
Put
them away for use when you need
them.
So the home garden program is
to be a continuing program . Right
now it is a patriotic effort to help
raise the food on the home front so
that most of the commercial vegetable raisers' produce can go to
the boys on the battle fronts. But
after the war, home gardening will
be continued . The experience being
gained under the stress of war contingencies will serve the country
well in the postwar period also.
Compost is a decayed mixture of
soil and organic matter, such as
manure and any available plant
remains - leaves, lawn clippings,
weeds, and crop residues. The soil
absorbs the products of decomposition df the organic matter, prevents
their loss, helps to give a more
desirable texture or consistency to
the decayed mass.
Compost varies greatly in its composition and physical condition, depending upon the nature of the soil
and other materials of which it is
made and upon the degree of decomposition.

Typical G.I. Joe Goes
Through Ropes at

S/Sgt. Arthur Freund, 25-year-old
overseas veteran, is typical of the
thousands of soldiers who will be
given discharge under the point
plan, on account of age, or due to
dependencies. Like many others,
Sergeant Freund would like to have
stayed in service until his job was
done. He will continue to contribute to war effort on the home front.
His war experience will aid him.
His wife, Bertha, who lives in
Brooklyn, N. Y., was made an invalid by an automobile crash. . Arthur is needed at home to take care
of her. He had no choice, and the
army, realizing that his greater
duty was to his wife, sent him, along
with hundreds of others, to Fort Dix,
N. J. Separation center areas have
been established throughout the

343,000 Yanks who will be discharged in next 30 days. The one
at Fort Dix was selected for Sergeant Freund, being the nearest to
his home.

WHAT a heritage for Rita Hayworth's

Everybody
knows, of course, that little Rebecca's mother is one of the most successful and most popular of all our
feminine stars, and that her father,
Orson Welles is a remarkable young
man (too remarkable sometimes!)
In many fields-writing, acting, producing. But Rebecca's heritage is a
matter of generations famous in
the theater.
That baby's great-grandfather on
the distal! side is the great Antonio
Cansino, one of the famous dancers
of all time. The story of his life and
of the 16 children he begot, and of
his grandchildren, is one of the fascmating sagas of the theater.
Nearly 70 years ago a 12-year-old
boy was left an orphan in a little
Spanish village. His father had been
a well-to-do land owner; but there
were crooked lawyers in Spain even
then. as everywhere else, and the
boy found himself done out of his
inheritance and left penniless to
face the world. That boy was Antonio Cansino.

Transcontinental Routes

A

PRETTY sight on a hot summer's day-a young mother
and her pretty little daughter in
crisp ginghams and stiffly starched

America now has 37 transcontinental highways, 8 running
from coast to coast and 29 from
border to border. Of the east-west
roads, the longest is U. S. 6 extending from Provincetown, Mass.,
to Long Beach, Calif., a distance
of 3,652 miles. Of the north-south
routes, longest is U. S. 1, from
Fort Kent, Maine, to Key West,
Fla., a distance of 2,262 miles.

Antonio set out for Seville, and
there he fount! himself a job as
helper to a blacksmith. Little Antonio liked to dance, and to play the
guitar. When night came Anton,jo
struck out for the water front cafes,
and there he danced again-for pennies.
At that time the famous Imperia
and her rival, La Companara, were
having their heyday, and there
was a popular male dancer, Fernando
Feliz.
Young
Antonio
sneaked into the wings to watch
their performances and in time
made their acquaintance. He had
an ingratiating manner, and before
long he was having lessons from all
three of them.

Along with other men Sergeant Freund bears an orientation talk by
camp officer. Insert shows him durin; an interview, during which be
Is given expert counseling and assistance for his transition to civilian
life. He is explained the G.l. Bill of Rights, benefits of insurance and
given employment assistance when desired.

His Last Physie;al Examination

Starting Up the Ladder

All
property is
checked upon arrival. When the discharged soldier leaves the center he
is given one complete outfit.

Goes Through Mill
Sergeant Freund reports to the medical branch for a . complete and
final physical examination.
X-rays, dental inspection and complete
check-up are part of the regular routine. Each veteran must inform
the medical officer of any illness or injury incurred since entry into
service. Disability claims are prepared at this time.

Given Special Meal

A Civilian Is Born

So CJt 15 Antonio said goodby to
his forge. A theater manager had
seen him dance and had recognized
a rising star. Within a year Antonio
was famous throughout Spain. He
had a house of his own, servants
and a carriage. At 17 he married.
I At 18 he was a father.
A London producer happened to be
visiting Spain and watched Antomo
Cansino at a performance in
Madrid. He offered a contract for a
month's engagement in London at a
figure that couldn't be turned down.
The month was extended to a year,
and by that time Antonio was reap1 ing a fortune. Paris followed and
then tours of Europe and South
America.
As the Cansino fortune grew, the
family was growing, too. At the
age of 35 Antonio had no less than
10 children. He was rich and his
wife and children wanted him at
home. To the chagrin of theatrical
managers, he announced his retirement from the stage.

get unbroken rest

Never Too Young
All of the Cansino children were
taught to dance by their father almost as soon as they could walk.
Young dancers begged Cansino for
in!'truction, so he opened a school
in Madrid. When Diaghiley took the
Ballet Russe to the Spanish capital
several of the stars took lessons
from Cansino, among them Leonide Massine.
The Cansino children all enjoyed
great success. They toured Europe,
Africa. North and South America,
Australia. Edouardo, Rita Hayworth's father, took Latin America
by storm. Antonio II was a sensation in Europe and Australia. Jose,
Angel, Paco, Elissa, and the others
all had their share of triumphs.

will be given a discharge button.

Sheet of Paper and a Signature

The big moment he has been waiting for arrives. Sergeant Freund,
top, is shown with his final papers,
which he must sign. They include
his discharge certificate and separation qualification record, which he
will find need for in years to come.
Center, another big moment. Final
payday has arrived. He receives his
discharge button, service and honor medals and ribbons and all pay
due him from the army, including
the first SlOO of his mustering out
pay. Having served overseas he will
rel'eive S300 mustering out pay in all.
Lower, the Honorable Discharge is
presented by separation center commander, along with congratulations
Qn Sergeant Freund's excellent servIce record.

It may be only a single sheet of white paper, a few printed words,
and a signature in blue ink, but it represents 26 months of faithful service
to the army and an honorable .discharge for Sergeant Freund. It's his
entry back into the civilian lite of the nation for which he offered his life.

Final Army Duty-Signing Discharge
His final job in the army is to
sign all papers, place his thumb print
on his honorable discharge and then
el1eck the clothing that will be issued
to him. The government will have a
big postwar job, the filing and preserving of the records of more than
10 million members of the armed
forces. These records must be in
excellent shape, and contain the
complete war record of each man.
All future claims will be determined
b:v the records on discharge day.

The task of discharging this vast
army has already begun but will not
be completed until months after V-J
Day. Many men have expressed a
desire to remain in service during
peacetime. Provisions are being
made to permit them to stay in the
regular army, navy or marines. At
the present time no mass discharge
of naval men is being planned. The
process of discharging those in the
navy, when it gets under way, will
be similar to that of the army.

California, Here We Come
When Rita was 16 she came to
California with her parents, the
Edouardo Cansinos. The movie bug
got her, but good. She danced and
played bit parts in dozens of pictures, and then came her big chance
in "Blood and Sand," opposite Tyrone Power. You know the rest of
that story. Her father and mother
have been retired from the stage
for some years, and Rita's father is
now working at Douglas because he
has two sons at the front.
And now the first Antonio, the patriarch of them all, is here. He lost
house and fortune during the Spanish revolution.
And do you know what he's look' ing forward to? You guessed it-it's
the day when little Rebecca is big
enot•gh to take her first dancing
lesson from her great-granddaddy.
Did I say that baby has a heritage!
And did I say there's a movie in
the histoire Cansino? All right, I
i leave
it to you - and to the
first

producer that gets the

in Manila by General MacArthur
with the Philippine service ribbon,
the general said that it was the first
time the honor had been given a

I! you want to have good darkadaptation facilities, cle::~r smooth
skin and healthy mucous membranes, it is well to include gcner·ous amounts of vitamin A in your
daily diet.
This fnt-soluble vitamin has the
distinction of being one of the earlilest vitamins known, and it has sev'eral important functions in the body.
Of major importance is its action in
preventing night-blindness, which is
difficulty in accommodating the eyes
to changes in intensity of light. If
your diet has been low in vitamin A,
you may have difficulty in finding
your way in the dark or in distinguishing objects when priving the
car at night.
Vitamin A helps to keep the epithelial tissues healthy. These are
the tissues which line the respiratory passages and the digestive and
genito-urinary tracts. · Adcq\iate viI tamin 1\ helps keep the mucous
membranes moist and healthy,
whereas lack of vitamin A allows
•the passages to become dry and
more susceptible to penetration by
bacteria.

THE DOG'S SENSE
OF SMELL TRULY
IS REMARKABLE
It's his remarkable sense of smell
that gives the dog those unique qualities for which he has been prized
through the centuries, states the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
In zoology, animals are sometimes
divided into two groups-visual a,:11d
olfactory animals. Man today is, of
course, a visual being; with the assumption of an upright position and
the raising of the head from the
ground, his olfactory sense has deteriorated. But the dog is first of all
1 an olfactory animal. A dog lives,
feels, loves and hates exclusively by
its sense of smell. Sever his olfactory
nrrves and he loses practically all his
1 canine virtues, such as vigilance, obe1
dience and affection.
In his book, "Man in Structure and
Function," the German writer Fritz
Kahn gives the physical basis which
makes the dog a truly olfactory animal. He compares the dog's olfactory
mechanism with that of man. He
finds that while the olfactory mucous
membrane of the human nose is only

"Giuseppe," the Major said, "I
want to see Tina's father because
you said he was the most respected
of all the fishermen. I want to
start the fishermen going out again,
so that Adano will have something
besides pasta and tomatoes and eggplant to eat. That's all there is to
it."
"Boss, you're a kid Giuseppe."
"Giuseppe, do you want me to

"Okay, a boss, you're not a kid

"I do want to see the old man.

"That's what I'm a sorry, boss.

"Why not? Did you say something about my wanting to go out

"That's easy, Giuseppe. We'll go

one of his main qualifications to be

an officer and a gentleman: "Have

This experience, as a matter of
fact, consisted of rowing on the
crew at Kent Srhool and at Yale.
At Yale, Crofts Livingston was
known as a fellow who would do
anything for you if h&lt;.&gt; liked you,
but he was rather choosy in his
friends.
Lieutenant Livingston had not yet
decided to like Major Joppolo. The
Major had not gone to either Kent
or Yale. There was a rumor around
that he had once been some kind of
clerk in the New York City government under Walker and O'Brien.
Lieutenant Livingston was inclined
to the opinion that it was too bad
the Army had sent such. a meatball
to be administrator of a town like
Adano. And besides, when the Major saw a Navy officer wearing two
bars, which anyone ought to know

Major Joppolo would address him
as Captain.

pe."

And so it happened that another
precedent was broken in Adano.
Never in the memory of anyone in
the town had an official gone calling on a citizen on business. Either
t11e citizen had come willingly to the
J'alazzo, or else the citizen had been
arrested, and had come against his
will.
Between the time of this conversation and three o'clock, Giuseppe
told several people about this amazing ftexibility on the part of the
Major. And therefore when it came
time for them to go down to the port
looking for old Tomasino, quite a
large crowd had gathered in front
of the Palazzo, and the crowd followed the Major and Giuseppe as
they walked.
"Where do these people think
they're going?" the Major asked
Giuseppe.
"Just a bunch a busybody," Giuseppe said.
The Major turned around. "Go
home, you people," he said in Italian. "Don't you have anything better to do at three in the afternoon?"
But the people kept right on following Giuseppe and th&lt;.&gt; Major.
Giuseppe led the Major, and
therefore the crowd, down to the
harbor and past the stone pier, past
the sulphur loading jetties, past the
patent slips, past the Molo Martino
to the Molo di Ponente, where the
fishing boats were tied up.
The Major sensed that he was
going to have a tough time with old
Tomasino, so he said to Giuseppe:
"Interpreter, unless you keep this
crowd well back, you will lose your
job."
"What is an interpreter to us,"
people said, "when we have a
chance to see something new in
Adano? . . . This has never happened before . . . What is the unemployment of one man?" And they
kept moving forward.
Giuseppe shouted: "The Major
will be very angry if you do not
stop right here." And then he added
softly: "Let us make a deal. U
you stop, I will listen to the conversation, and I will tell you what
is said."
On this basis the crowd was willing to stop.
By this time, Major Joppolo had
come to the boat of old Tomasino.
He recognized the boat not only by
the fact that there was a moroselooking man sitting on the afterdeck, but also by the illuminated
inscription, with its letters trailing
off into leaves and fruits, just under
the eye-piece of the bow: Tina.
The Major jumped up onto the
~ow.

"All right, man of authority," said
the morose man, "arrest me."
"I haven't come to arrest you,
f:omasino," the Major said.
Giuseppe came running up to listen. He stayed on the mole, so that
he could commute easily between
actors and audience.
"Why are you wearing your pistol?" the morose man said. "Shoot
me, go ahead, shoot me."
"I always wear my pistol, Tomasino," the Major said.
"You have come to arrest me because I refus~d to go and see the
American Major," the morose man
said.
"That is not true," the Major said.
"Then why have you brought this
informer, Ribaudo Giuseppe, who
asked me to go see the American
Major, and to whom I refused?"
"I am the American Major, Tomasino."
Tomasino did not bat ·an eye.
"Why have you brought this crowd,

Consistent Cleaning Adds
To Life of Rugs _

-

Consistent clf'aring is a rug's
greatf'st lifesaver. Rugs i"l c-onstant
use should be thoroughly clN ned at
least once a week. Occasionally the
backs should receive attention also,
for dirt and insects tend to work
through the rug so they cannot be
picked up by surface cleaning.
Vacuum cleaning IS the easiest
way to clean a rug. Moved m long
strokes crosswise on the rug, a
vacuum cleaner picks up insects,
crumbs and dirt with a minimum of
wear on the pile. Remember to
empty the vacuum bag each time
after using, for the cl~aner operates
cfticH.mtly only if the bag is dustfree.
If a broom must be used, be sure
the straws are soft and pliable. An
energetic homemaker, who jabs at
her rul.{s with a stiff stubby broom
docs them more harm than good.
Rugs should not be beaten or
shakE'n. for :.his loosens the tufts.
In addition to careful cleaning,
years may be added to the life of a
rug by using a pad under it, especially if the floc 1rs are rough or uneven. Put glass furniture rests under
thc&gt; legs of all heavy furniture, and
make sure that doors do not scrape
the rugs.

Efficient Tub
A bathtub that fills quickly and
empties quickly is high on the list
of things that postwar home builders want. The chief advantage of a
tub that fills quickly and empties
quickly is the saving in time. Another important advantage, howevr er, is the fact that water which
flows through the drain piping at
high velocity will carry solids with
it, thus scouring the drain and tending to keep the pipes clean. For rapid filling of a tub, the hot and cold
lines leading to the fixture should be
at least one-half inch in diameter
and the spout should be one inch in
diameter. With these specifications,
providing water pressure is adequate, the bath will fill quickly and
the water wil~ not splash or gurgle.
To insure quick draining of the fixture, the waste in the tub should be
two inches in diameter and the oattom of the tub should be perfectly
smooth and unimpeded by corrugations.

Turkey Eggs
Turkey eggs may one day sell as
chicken eggs sell today, and be used
for cooking in both homes and restaurants. Some of the small-type
turkeys developed by the department of agriculture are much heavier than the average large turkey.
As more of these small turkeys are
raised, growers. may have s11rplus
eggs that could be marketed. Because th 'Se smaller turkeys require
less fet·d than larger turkeys they
are more economical egg producers.
Heavy-laying, even smaller turkeys
could be developed if there should
be a demand for them. There is
little diflerence in the two kinds of
eggs. They taste the same, and thl'
whites and yolks are the snme in
color. Weight for weight, they have
about equal nutritive value. The
yolk of a turkey egg is slightly firmer so holds itl!l shape well in poaching. At present most turkey eggs
are needed for hatching. One of tht·
small-type turkeys laid 211 eggs last
year, and another 206 in contrast
to the 40 to 60 eggs a year laid by
~ ayerage turkey:'

An Old Friend Talc"es Up

Where Ernie Pyle Left Off
Lauds Famed War Correspondent
For Loyalty to His Following
By LEE G. MILLER
MANILA- (by wireless) - . They've asked me to take over
Ernie Pyle's column. I have agreed to try it, though with misgivings.
I'm not going to try to "write like Ernie." All I can do is write
like Miller. If occasionally something pops out that looks as if I
were consciously imitating Ernie's way of writing, please bear in
mind that he and I worked together almost constantly since 1923
when we both got jobs on the Washington Daily News. Such long
association is apt to result in some similarities of thought and
mannerism.

Mother would do best to plan a
meal that is nourishing but not too
hearty. The main dish and vegetables )nay be warm, but dessert and
salad should be icy cold to suggest
that summer was kept in mind during the planning of the menu.
If the bulk of the actual cooking
is done during the cool mornings,
then the kitchen can retain some
semblance of coolness during the
evening hours. Such things as cooking filling for pies, making cookies
or cake or cooking vegetables for a
salad can be prepared before the
sun rises high in the sky and sends
the temperature to the highest rungs
of the thermometer.
Main entrees, if broiled, will also
help during hot weather. They take
1only a few mintjtes to cook, like this
/low-point grill:
Hamburger Grill.
(Serves 6)
1 pound ham burger
onion, grated, if desired
1 teaspoon salt
% teaspoon pepper
4 sliees bacon
2 large bananas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Combine meat, onion, salt and
pepper. Mix well. Form into 4
cakes about lk
inch thick. Arrange strips of
r
bacon on broiling
rack. Broil slowly until brown,
turning when necessary. Drain on
unglazed paper while other food
'broils. Arrange meat cakes on rack.
Brush bananas with lemon juice and
place alongside meat. Broil until
!meat is browned. To serve, arrange hamburgers on individual
serving plates. Top each with a
-strip of bacon and place broiled ba.nana slice at each side. Potato
chips and tomato cucumber salad
may be served with the grill.
Chicken is delectable when cooked
a Ia king, but it's invitingly cool
when served molded. Then it can
be sliced and served garnished with
quartered hard-boiled eggs and to.Inato wedges:

Lynn Says
Perfect Salads: You'll like oranges sliced or sectioned and
rolled in shredded coconut on lettuce cups.
Peach or apricot halves placed
on top of shredded cabbage which
is rich in vitamin C is a delightful
salad for hot weather eating.
Blend mayonnaise with peach
juice or sour cream for a really
smooth dressing.
Odd bits of meat go well riding
the tops of vegetable sal ads.
Shred or cube them and extend
with bits of cheese, if necessary.
Thousand Is land dressing which
is so excellent on quarters of
chilled lettuce is even better if it
has a few wedges of meaty ripe
olives in it.

Melt butter or substitute. Then
add green pepper and mushrooms
and cook slowly until tender but not
browned. Blend in milk, stock, pimiento and chicken. Beat egg yolks,
add lemon juice and pour a little of
the liquid over the chicken mixture,
stirring constantly. Stir egg yolks
into the rest of the chicken mixture
and cook over boiling water for 5
minutes, still stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add gelatin
which has been soaked in cold water for 5 minutes. Turn into a mold
and chill until set. Unmold and
garnish with hard-cooked eggs quartered, tomato wedges and parsley.
One of the important points in
cooking fish '1s to avoid overcooking.
Here is a dish that can be turned
out in less than half an hour:
Mackerel With Bacon and Onions.
(Serves 4)
%. pound cleaned .fillets of mackerel
Salt and pepper
1 cup sliced onions
4 tablespoons butter or drippings
cup soft bread crumbs
2 slices crisp bacon, broiled
Separate fillets and arrange in
greased, shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute onions gently in butter until tender but
not browned.
Turn out on fish,
sprinkle with crumbs and top with
bacon. Bake in a hot ( 400-degree)
oven until fish is done and crumbs
are browned, about 15 minutes.
Hot evenings sometimes call for
hearty main dish salads. Use a good
protein food as a base so that it will
be nourishing enough even for so-o
big a ppetites. Here are two good
suggestions:
Baked Bean and Egg Salad.
(Serves 6)
1 medium sized can of baked beans
4 sweet pickles, chopped
3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced (reserve 6 slices for garnishing)
¥2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Chill beans until cold. Add the
remaining ingredients in order
given, mixing
carefully. Arrange on nests of
lettuce and garnish with sliced,
hard-cooked egg and parsley.
Salmon Salad.
(Serves 6 to 8)
6 hard-cooked eggs
1 pound salmon, cooked or canned,
shredded
1 medium green pepper, chopped
% cnp shredded cabbage
cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons grated onion
12 slices chopped sweet pickle
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
~ teaspoon pepper
After salmon is shredded mix with
chopped egg whites, green pepper,
cabbage and celery, grated onion
and pickles. Mash the egg yolks
and blend well with mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Combine the two mixtures, blending
thoroughly. Serve in cups of lettuce, garnished with radishes and
whole slices of pickle.
French Fried Shrimp.
(Serves 6)
2 cups corn flakes
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 cups cooked jumbo shrimp
Roll corn flakes into fine crumbs.
Dip shrimp in egg and then in. cornflake crumbs. Fry in deep fat u11til
brown (365 degrees F.) Serv~ p1ain
or with tartar sauce.

Released by Western Newspaper tlllolon.

What I'm driving at is this: I will
feel miserable if people get the idea
I have the impertinence to aspire to
fill Ernie's shoes.
Maybe I can fill the
space where his
copy has run, but
I'm fully aware that
nobody will ever fill
the place that Ernie
won in the thoughts
and hearts of so
many millions of
Lee G. Miller Americans.
Other correspondents are always trying to figure out
the reason for Ernie's great success.
I don't know that I have the right
answer to that one. But my guess
is that the basic reason was quite
simple-that Ernie was a very competent craftsman, skilled from those
years he devoted as a desk man to
polishing the copy of other people,
and-this is more important-he had
a warmth about him, and an understanding of people.
He used to say of certain friends
that there was "a harmony" between them and there came to be a
"harmony" between Ernie and, the
Lord only knows why, many people
who were actually complete strangers to him, but who regarded him
as a personal friend.
It was that friendship of those unknown readers that drove Ernie to
his death. Perhaps it will sound
mawkish to put it in words, but it
is a fact that he felt he couldn't reject the responsibility imposed by
the devotion of those strangers who
were his friends. He forced himself,
against the advice of friends and
against his own gnawing fear of
death, to go back into action.

Took His Chances
With the Rest

,.

Commander Vic Blakeslee of the
navy was here the other night. He
was with Ernie on Guam. He said
he pleaded with Ernie not go to
ashore with the troops in the Ryukyus.
1
' He was looking pale and tired,"
Vic said. "I tried to tell him he
was too useful a citizen to take
chances with his life. I told him he
was surely going to get killed if he
kept on pressing his luck. But his
mind was made up and I couldn't do
anything about it."
It may be that Ernie was getting
self-conscious. I mean he had become such a celebrity that he was
treated like royalty wherever he
went: Special favors were showered
on him. The big shots curried him.
And I suspect that he had an uncomfortable feeling about all thisa feeling that this was very nice
but it wasn't his way, that he had
to get back where he belonged, with
the troops.
I said long ago that if Ernie ever
got killed I'd go home at once and
try to write a biography of him. It
ought to be done. But it looks as if
I'll have to stay overseas a while.
Maybe Lt. Comdr. Max Miller, author of "I Cover the Waterfront"
and many other books, would do a
biography of Ernie. Max loved him,
and Max was with him for weeks in
the Pacific.
But nobody ought to write a book
about Ernie without Jerry's help.
Jerry is Ernie's wife-"That Girl"
he used to mention in his column.
If Jerry were in better h ealth she
ought to write a book herself. She
knew Ernie far better than anybody
else ever did. She writes beautifully.
But J erry hasn't been well these
past few years, and now that the
thing has happened that she dreaded during those lonely days and
1 years in Albuquerque-well, I guess
it's out of the question.
If Max or somebody does write a
book about Ernie, it ought to be the
whole story, not just a gilded "suecess story" or a Parson Weems
fable.
Maybe John Steinbeck would do it,
or Ernie's old friend Paige Cavanaugh, or Milton Mackaye or Dorathy Disney or any one of many writing people who were Ernie's close
friends. But let them picture the

•
whole man. Ernie was no cardboard
saint. He u1&gt;ed bad words sometimes. He drank sometimes. It was
fun for him to relax with friends
over a few highballs.
Any biographer of Ernie should go
to Indiana and talk 'to Ernie's fathe r
and his Aunt Mary, and to his
schoolmates at Indiana university.
He ought to talk to people who
worked with him in the old days in
Washington when we were young
and carefree and Ernie met Jerry.
And with some of the old aviation
crowd who used to gather at Ernie's
and Jerry's place at 456 N St. S. W.,
in Washington-! think that was the
number-and talk shop or sweat out
the disappearance of a mail pilot.
It ought to be a careful job, not a
slapdash thing to "catch the market." I don't think Ernie is going to
be forgotten in a hurry.

Quench ThiTSt

By Helmetful11
We jeeped northward through Manila, up crowded Rizal avenue with
its hundreds of tiny shops and its
sidewalks aswarm with Filipinos
and sight-seeing soldiers and sailors.
Out past the quaintly beautiful
Chinese cemetery with its pagodaed
shrines, past the Balintewok brewery in the city's outskirts where conquering doughfoots paused in Februa ry to quench their thirst by the helmetfuls.
And on up the concrete highway,
between rice fields, over the Meccano-like Bailey bridges and other
bridges of timber that our engineers
had installed alongside the misshapen wrecks of prewar spans.
We paused from time to time to
let a carabao lumbe r across the
road to his wallow, or to let an MP
check our trip ticket, or to sit out
~ congestion caused by slow-moving
Filipino vehicles drawn by undersized horses or plodding water buffalo.
We veered to the right, eastward
of Mount Arayat, which rears in
lorlely grandeur from the fertile
plain. As darkness fell the rain
started, gently at first but finally in
torrential bucketfuls against which
the jeep top was as useless as
cheesecloth.
We came upon a stalled truckful
of dripping soldiers, and g.av€ them
a tow. Three times their motor got
started and we stopped to undo the
tow rope, but three times their engine sputtered out again. After some
miles it got going properly and we
drove on unencumbered through the
dowppour, which by now was getting chill.
Finally we reached the division' s
rear echelon headquarters, where
we wolfed some cheese, bread and
coffee, got into dry underwear and
hit the sack in a comfortable billet.
The next morning we drove on to
the division command post and were
getting settled in a pyramidal tent
when batteries of 155 mm. Long
Toms a'nd 240 howitzers, emplace1
almost within spitting distance, began their morning calisthenics with
blasts that rippled the tent.
At the G2 tent, Lt. Col. Jay D. Vanderpool, who is only 28, gave us the
best briefing I'd ever had, tracing
the progress of the division on an
excellent r elief map.
Brig. Gen. James L . ("Dusty")
Dalton dropped by for a talk. He
turned out to be a West Point class
mate and brother-in-law of my
friend Col. Dodd Starbird, who he
believed was now with General Patton.
(I had just finished writing thisthree days after that conversationwhen a soldier brought word that
a Jap sniper had killed General Dalton, of whom more later.)
I went around to pay my respects
to the division commanding general,
Maj. Gen. Charles L. Mullins Jr., a
West Pointer whose wife lives in
Losolivos, Calif.
General Mullins knew Ernie Pyle.
That was years ago when Ernie and
Jerry were touring Central America
and Mullins was establishing a military academy for Nicaragua. Ernie
wrote a piece about him.

Yanks Find Colonel Hayashi Tough Customer
The men of this division are
piqued because somehow people
seem to regard the campaign for
Balete pass as part and parcel of
the recent drive for Baguio, the
Philippine summer capital. Baguio
is only 35 miles away as the crow
flies, but tactically speaking it might
almost be on another island. Baguio
fell weeks ago. Balete pass wasn't
pronounced officially secured until

the day I arrived here.
This is mountain fighting, ridge by
ridge, against a J ap who is a master at defensive exploitation of such
terrain. The J ap is Colonel Hayashi,
the same Hayashi who when the first
cavalry trapped him in Santo Tomas
internment camp at Manila February 3, used Ameri1~an hostages to
bargain a safe exit for himself and
his men.

SEVERAL hardy vegetables will
withstand frosts and even freezes
and thus may become a part of the
fall garden. P lantings of these vegetables in August, September and
October and in some sections of the
country, even later, may be made
and still harvest a crop. They include beets, collards, kale, lettuce.
mustard, spinach and turnips.
In these months
too, it is time to
look forward to next
year's garden. It is
a good time to start
that compost pile
and have it ready
for the spring plantm•
ing. It is a good
time to spade up
1
that portion of your
garden for the very early plantings
next year. It is time to sow a cover
crop for the winter which is a very
good practice. These cover crops
may include clover, rye, wheat or
some other such crop, but 1t is advisable to consult your local
county agent or agricultural college
to determine the most profitable
winter cover in your own locality.
Have you proper storage facilities
for your surplus root crops such as
potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips?
If not, now is the time to get busy.
' If you do not have a proper base1 ment in your home, that is one that
remains cool enough to properly
store the vegetables, consult your
county agent about this too. He will
be able to advise you how to store
these vegetables economically so
that they will remain in good condition throughout the winter.
These fall months too will
give you time to burn diseased
residue of your crops for it is
not a good thing to let them lie
about the place and be overlooked in the spring.
The successful gardener, after his
harvest, can also take stock of his
experience during the season to determine what vegetables.he will not
plant next year.
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the importance of that compost pile, particularly in the towns
and cities where organic matter is
not readily available to improve the
soil and workability of the garden
plot. In the fall when leaves and
dried lawn clippings and other dry
grasses are readily at hand, it does
not require too much work to throw
these materials into a flat pile,
alternate with layers of dirt. The
dirt layers should be two to three
inches thick with the gr;iss and

they are free from soil. The spade
and hoe can be sharpened ready
to use when spring spading time
comes. If there is any. indication
that fertilizer or insecticides or fungicides will be scarce, the fall and
winter months are good times to l ay
in a supply, for there is little or
no demand for them now and they
may be readily available.
Put
them away for use when you need
them.
So the home garden program is
to be a continuing program . Right
now it is a patriotic effort to help
raise the food on the home front so
that most of the commercial vegetable raisers' produce can go to
the boys on the battle fronts. But
after the war, home gardening will
be continued . The experience being
gained under the stress of war contingencies will serve the country
well in the postwar period also.
Compost is a decayed mixture of
soil and organic matter, such as
manure and any available plant
remains - leaves, lawn clippings,
weeds, and crop residues. The soil
absorbs the products of decomposition df the organic matter, prevents
their loss, helps to give a more
desirable texture or consistency to
the decayed mass.
Compost varies greatly in its composition and physical condition, depending upon the nature of the soil
and other materials of which it is
made and upon the degree of decomposition.

..eturning Servicemen to Civilian Life Has Been
Organized on Army Version of Assembly Line Plan
Typical G.I. Joe Goes
Through Ropes at
Separation Center
S/Sgt. Arthur Freund, 25-year-old
overseas veteran, is typical of the
thousands of soldiers who will be
given discharge under the point
plan, on account of age, or due to
dependencies. Like many others,
Sergeant Freund would like to have
stayed in service until his job was
done. He will continue to contribute to war effort on the home front.
His war experience will aid him.
His wife, Bertha, who lives in
Brooklyn, N. Y., was made an invalid by an automobile crash. . Arthur is needed at home to take care
of her. He had no choice, and the
army, realizing that his greater
duty was to his wife, sent him, along
with hundreds of others, to Fort Dix,
N. J. Separation center areas have
been established throughout the
Umted States to take care of the
343,000 Yanks who will be discharged in next 30 days. The one
at Fort Dix was selected for Sergeant Freund, being the nearest to
his home.

Receives Final Instructions

WHAT a heritage for Rita Hayworth's
baby!
Everybody
knows, of course, that little Rebecca's mother is one of the most successful and most popular of all our
feminine stars, and that her father,
Orson Welles is a remarkable young
man (too remarkable sometimes!)
In many fields-writing, acting, producing. But Rebecca's heritage is a
matter of generations famous in
the theater.
That baby's great-grandfather on
the distal! side is the great Antonio
Cansino, one of the famous dancers
of all time. The story of his life and
of the 16 children he begot, and of
his grandchildren, is one of the fascmating sagas of the theater.
Nearly 70 years ago a 12-year-old
boy was left an orphan in a little
Spanish village. His father had been
a well-to-do land owner; but there
were crooked lawyers in Spain even
then. as everywhere else, and the
boy found himself done out of his
inheritance and left penniless to
face the world. That boy was Antonio Cansino.

Transcontinental Routes

A

PRETTY sight on a hot summer's day-a young mother
and her pretty little daughter in
crisp ginghams and stiffly starched

America now has 37 transcontinental highways, 8 running
from coast to coast and 29 from
border to border. Of the east-west
roads, the longest is U. S. 6 extending from Provincetown, Mass.,
to Long Beach, Calif., a distance
of 3,652 miles. Of the north-south
routes, longest is U. S. 1, from
Fort Kent, Maine, to Key West,
Fla., a distance of 2,262 miles.

Antonio set out for Seville, and
there he fount! himself a job as
helper to a blacksmith. Little Antonio liked to dance, and to play the
guitar. When night came Anton,jo
struck out for the water front cafes,
and there he danced again-for pennies.
At that time the famous Imperia
and her rival, La Companara, were
having their heyday, and there
was a popular male dancer, Fernando
Feliz.
Young
Antonio
sneaked into the wings to watch
their performances and in time
made their acquaintance. He had
an ingratiating manner, and before
long he was having lessons from all
three of them.

Along with other men Sergeant Freund bears an orientation talk by
camp officer. Insert shows him durin; an interview, during which be
Is given expert counseling and assistance for his transition to civilian
life. He is explained the G.l. Bill of Rights, benefits of insurance and
given employment assistance when desired.

His Last Physie;al Examination

Starting Up the Ladder

All
property is
checked upon arrival. When the discharged soldier leaves the center he
is given one complete outfit.

Goes Through Mill
Sergeant Freund reports to the medical branch for a . complete and
final physical examination.
X-rays, dental inspection and complete
check-up are part of the regular routine. Each veteran must inform
the medical officer of any illness or injury incurred since entry into
service. Disability claims are prepared at this time.

Given Special Meal

A Civilian Is Born

So CJt 15 Antonio said goodby to
his forge. A theater manager had
seen him dance and had recognized
a rising star. Within a year Antonio
was famous throughout Spain. He
had a house of his own, servants
and a carriage. At 17 he married.
I At 18 he was a father.
A London producer happened to be
visiting Spain and watched Antomo
Cansino at a performance in
Madrid. He offered a contract for a
month's engagement in London at a
figure that couldn't be turned down.
The month was extended to a year,
and by that time Antonio was reap1 ing a fortune. Paris followed and
then tours of Europe and South
America.
As the Cansino fortune grew, the
family was growing, too. At the
age of 35 Antonio had no less than
10 children. He was rich and his
wife and children wanted him at
home. To the chagrin of theatrical
managers, he announced his retirement from the stage.

get unbroken rest

Never Too Young
All of the Cansino children were
taught to dance by their father almost as soon as they could walk.
Young dancers begged Cansino for
in!'truction, so he opened a school
in Madrid. When Diaghiley took the
Ballet Russe to the Spanish capital
several of the stars took lessons
from Cansino, among them Leonide Massine.
The Cansino children all enjoyed
great success. They toured Europe,
Africa. North and South America,
Australia. Edouardo, Rita Hayworth's father, took Latin America
by storm. Antonio II was a sensation in Europe and Australia. Jose,
Angel, Paco, Elissa, and the others
all had their share of triumphs.

will be given a discharge button.

Sheet of Paper and a Signature

The big moment he has been waiting for arrives. Sergeant Freund,
top, is shown with his final papers,
which he must sign. They include
his discharge certificate and separation qualification record, which he
will find need for in years to come.
Center, another big moment. Final
payday has arrived. He receives his
discharge button, service and honor medals and ribbons and all pay
due him from the army, including
the first SlOO of his mustering out
pay. Having served overseas he will
rel'eive S300 mustering out pay in all.
Lower, the Honorable Discharge is
presented by separation center commander, along with congratulations
Qn Sergeant Freund's excellent servIce record.

It may be only a single sheet of white paper, a few printed words,
and a signature in blue ink, but it represents 26 months of faithful service
to the army and an honorable .discharge for Sergeant Freund. It's his
entry back into the civilian lite of the nation for which he offered his life.

Final Army Duty-Signing Discharge
His final job in the army is to
sign all papers, place his thumb print
on his honorable discharge and then
el1eck the clothing that will be issued
to him. The government will have a
big postwar job, the filing and preserving of the records of more than
10 million members of the armed
forces. These records must be in
excellent shape, and contain the
complete war record of each man.
All future claims will be determined
b:v the records on discharge day.

The task of discharging this vast
army has already begun but will not
be completed until months after V-J
Day. Many men have expressed a
desire to remain in service during
peacetime. Provisions are being
made to permit them to stay in the
regular army, navy or marines. At
the present time no mass discharge
of naval men is being planned. The
process of discharging those in the
navy, when it gets under way, will
be similar to that of the army.

California, Here We Come
When Rita was 16 she came to
California with her parents, the
Edouardo Cansinos. The movie bug
got her, but good. She danced and
played bit parts in dozens of pictures, and then came her big chance
in "Blood and Sand," opposite Tyrone Power. You know the rest of
that story. Her father and mother
have been retired from the stage
for some years, and Rita's father is
now working at Douglas because he
has two sons at the front.
And now the first Antonio, the patriarch of them all, is here. He lost
house and fortune during the Spanish revolution.
And do you know what he's look' ing forward to? You guessed it-it's
the day when little Rebecca is big
enot•gh to take her first dancing
lesson from her great-granddaddy.
Did I say that baby has a heritage!
And did I say there's a movie in
the histoire Cansino? All right, I
i leave
it to you - and to the
first
sn1art
producer that gets the
1
same idea.

in Manila by General MacArthur
with the Philippine service ribbon,

I! you want to have good darkadaptation facilities, cle::~r smooth
skin and healthy mucous membranes, it is well to include gcner·ous amounts of vitamin A in your
daily diet.
This fnt-soluble vitamin has the
distinction of being one of the earlilest vitamins known, and it has sev'eral important functions in the body.
Of major importance is its action in
preventing night-blindness, which is
difficulty in accommodating the eyes
to changes in intensity of light. If
your diet has been low in vitamin A,
you may have difficulty in finding
your way in the dark or in distinguishing objects when priving the
car at night.
Vitamin A helps to keep the epithelial tissues healthy. These are
the tissues which line the respiratory passages and the digestive and
genito-urinary tracts. · Adcq\iate viI tamin 1\ helps keep the mucous
membranes moist and healthy,
whereas lack of vitamin A allows
•the passages to become dry and
more susceptible to penetration by
bacteria.

THE DOG'S SENSE
OF SMELL TRULY
IS REMARKABLE
It's his remarkable sense of smell
that gives the dog those unique qualities for which he has been prized
through the centuries, states the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
In zoology, animals are sometimes
divided into two groups-visual a,:11d
olfactory animals. Man today is, of
course, a visual being; with the assumption of an upright position and
the raising of the head from the
ground, his olfactory sense has deteriorated. But the dog is first of all
1 an olfactory animal. A dog lives,
feels, loves and hates exclusively by
its sense of smell. Sever his olfactory
nrrves and he loses practically all his
1 canine virtues, such as vigilance, obe1
dience and affection.
In his book, "Man in Structure and
Function," the German writer Fritz
Kahn gives the physical basis which
makes the dog a truly olfactory animal. He compares the dog's olfactory
mechanism with that of man. He
finds that while the olfactory mucous
membrane of the human nose is only

"Giuseppe," the Major said, "I
want to see Tina's father because
you said he was the most respected
of all the fishermen. I want to
start the fishermen going out again,
so that Adano will have something
besides pasta and tomatoes and eggplant to eat. That's all there is to
it."
"Boss, you're a kid Giuseppe."
"Giuseppe, do you want me to
get another interpreter?"
"Okay, a boss, you're not a kid
Giuseppe."
"I do want to see the old man.
Will you fix that for me?"

"That's what I'm a sorry, boss.
"What do you mean?"
"Tina's old a man Tomasino no

"Why not? Did you say something about my wanting to go out

"Oh no, a boss. Old a man Tomasino say he never been in a Palazzo

"That's easy, Giuseppe. We'll go

At Yale, Crofts Livingston was

anything for you if h&lt;.&gt; liked you,
but he was rather choosy in his

Lieutenant Livingston had not yet
decided to like Major Joppolo. The
Major had not gone to either Kent
or Yale. There was a rumor around
that he had once been some kind of
clerk in the New York City government under Walker and O'Brien.
Lieutenant Livingston was inclined
to the opinion that it was too bad
the Army had sent such. a meatball
to be administrator of a town like
Adano. And besides, when the Major saw a Navy officer wearing two
bars, which anyone ought to know

Major Joppolo would address him

pe."

And so it happened that another
precedent was broken in Adano.
Never in the memory of anyone in
the town had an official gone calling on a citizen on business. Either
t11e citizen had come willingly to the
J'alazzo, or else the citizen had been
arrested, and had come against his
will.
Between the time of this conversation and three o'clock, Giuseppe
told several people about this amazing ftexibility on the part of the
Major. And therefore when it came
time for them to go down to the port
looking for old Tomasino, quite a
large crowd had gathered in front
of the Palazzo, and the crowd followed the Major and Giuseppe as
they walked.
"Where do these people think
they're going?" the Major asked
Giuseppe.
"Just a bunch a busybody," Giuseppe said.
The Major turned around. "Go
home, you people," he said in Italian. "Don't you have anything better to do at three in the afternoon?"
But the people kept right on following Giuseppe and th&lt;.&gt; Major.
Giuseppe led the Major, and
therefore the crowd, down to the
harbor and past the stone pier, past
the sulphur loading jetties, past the
patent slips, past the Molo Martino
to the Molo di Ponente, where the
fishing boats were tied up.
The Major sensed that he was
going to have a tough time with old
Tomasino, so he said to Giuseppe:
"Interpreter, unless you keep this
crowd well back, you will lose your
job."
"What is an interpreter to us,"
people said, "when we have a
chance to see something new in
Adano? . . . This has never happened before . . . What is the unemployment of one man?" And they
kept moving forward.
Giuseppe shouted: "The Major
will be very angry if you do not
stop right here." And then he added
softly: "Let us make a deal. U
you stop, I will listen to the conversation, and I will tell you what
is said."
On this basis the crowd was willing to stop.
By this time, Major Joppolo had
come to the boat of old Tomasino.
He recognized the boat not only by
the fact that there was a moroselooking man sitting on the afterdeck, but also by the illuminated
inscription, with its letters trailing
off into leaves and fruits, just under
the eye-piece of the bow: Tina.
The Major jumped up onto the
~ow.

"All right, man of authority," said
the morose man, "arrest me."
"I haven't come to arrest you,
f:omasino," the Major said.
Giuseppe came running up to listen. He stayed on the mole, so that
he could commute easily between
actors and audience.
"Why are you wearing your pistol?" the morose man said. "Shoot
me, go ahead, shoot me."
"I always wear my pistol, Tomasino," the Major said.
"You have come to arrest me because I refus~d to go and see the
American Major," the morose man
said.
"That is not true," the Major said.
"Then why have you brought this
informer, Ribaudo Giuseppe, who
asked me to go see the American
Major, and to whom I refused?"
"I am the American Major, Tomasino."
Tomasino did not bat ·an eye.
"Why have you brought this crowd,

Consistent Cleaning Adds
To Life of Rugs _

-

Consistent clf'aring is a rug's
greatf'st lifesaver. Rugs i"l c-onstant
use should be thoroughly clN ned at
least once a week. Occasionally the
backs should receive attention also,
for dirt and insects tend to work
through the rug so they cannot be
picked up by surface cleaning.
Vacuum cleaning IS the easiest
way to clean a rug. Moved m long
strokes crosswise on the rug, a
vacuum cleaner picks up insects,
crumbs and dirt with a minimum of
wear on the pile. Remember to
empty the vacuum bag each time
after using, for the cl~aner operates
cfticH.mtly only if the bag is dustfree.
If a broom must be used, be sure
the straws are soft and pliable. An
energetic homemaker, who jabs at
her rul.{s with a stiff stubby broom
docs them more harm than good.
Rugs should not be beaten or
shakE'n. for :.his loosens the tufts.
In addition to careful cleaning,
years may be added to the life of a
rug by using a pad under it, especially if the floc 1rs are rough or uneven. Put glass furniture rests under
thc&gt; legs of all heavy furniture, and
make sure that doors do not scrape
the rugs.

The rat population iu most citie~
outnumbers the ci viii an population.
Continuous campaigns to keep rat:;
from m11ltiplying too rapidly are
necessa.cy -in the majority of cities.
Over 20,000 rats were killed in the
city dumps of a large western city
during the first month of a campaign inaugurated by the U. S. biological survey.
Rats are natural enemies of man.
They do $200,000,000 damage in the
United States annually through their
consumption of foodstuffs alone, and
It has been estimated that it costs
$2 a year to maintain each rat.

Efficient Tub
A bathtub that fills quickly and
empties quickly is high on the list
of things that postwar home builders want. The chief advantage of a
tub that fills quickly and empties
quickly is the saving in time. Another important advantage, howevr er, is the fact that water which
flows through the drain piping at
high velocity will carry solids with
it, thus scouring the drain and tending to keep the pipes clean. For rapid filling of a tub, the hot and cold
lines leading to the fixture should be
at least one-half inch in diameter
and the spout should be one inch in
diameter. With these specifications,
providing water pressure is adequate, the bath will fill quickly and
the water wil~ not splash or gurgle.
To insure quick draining of the fixture, the waste in the tub should be
two inches in diameter and the oattom of the tub should be perfectly
smooth and unimpeded by corrugations.

Turkey Eggs
Turkey eggs may one day sell as
chicken eggs sell today, and be used
for cooking in both homes and restaurants. Some of the small-type
turkeys developed by the department of agriculture are much heavier than the average large turkey.
As more of these small turkeys are
raised, growers. may have s11rplus
eggs that could be marketed. Because th 'Se smaller turkeys require
less fet·d than larger turkeys they
are more economical egg producers.
Heavy-laying, even smaller turkeys
could be developed if there should
be a demand for them. There is
little diflerence in the two kinds of
eggs. They taste the same, and thl'
whites and yolks are the snme in
color. Weight for weight, they have
about equal nutritive value. The
yolk of a turkey egg is slightly firmer so holds itl!l shape well in poaching. At present most turkey eggs
are needed for hatching. One of tht·
small-type turkeys laid 211 eggs last
year, and another 206 in contrast
to the 40 to 60 eggs a year laid by
~ ayerage turkey:'

Lynn Chambers' Point-Saving
Menus

Supper Thoughts: When you
are having cold cuts and a substantial salad as main interest for
supper, have something hot in the
way of a quick bread just out of
the oven . Good suggestions include these that bake quickly:
corn bread, whole wheat biscuits,
prune muffins and orange marmalade rolls.
A freezer of homemade ice
cream is a welcome treat at outdoors suppers. Try some flavored
with fresh berries or apricots, and
be sure to have the cookie jar
handy.
Doll up your garden party supper salads with plenty of relishes
such as olives, pickles, radish
roses and carrot sticks. They
make for nice nibbling.
Bring out the checked cloths
and paper napkins, old-fashioned
jugs for flowers, and picnic utensils for under-the-trees eating.
They go with the atmosphere.

STAB ILIZE'R

WITH 25TH DIVISION, AT BALETE PASS, LUZON.-Jim
Head used to hunt with falcons in Saudi Arabia. Now he hunts
with war dogs on Luzon. And this time it's not birds he's hunting
but Japs.
I was chewing the rag with him here. A German shepherd
named Captain lay under the co~ on which Head sat. Somebody
tossed a c1garette on the floor Without putting it out.
Head spoke softly: "Captain!"
The dog emerged and stood attentively.
"Put out the cigarette," said Head.
Captain sniffed and looked around,
spotted the smoking butt, slapped a
paw on it, and the
deed was done.
Captain has other
tricks, but Head
emphasizes that
this stuff is extracurricular and has
nothing to do with
the war-dog business.
Head - First Lt.
James S. Head,
Lee G. Miller Carlyle,
Ill. - is
commanding officer
of the 26th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon. His outfit came overseas in
June of '44 and saw action at Biak,
Aitape and Morotai before coming
to Luzon, where it has been working with the 25th or "Tropic Lightning" division around Balete pass.
Jim brought 31 dogs to the Pacific. Now there are only 12. Three
have been killed-two of them by
grenades in the Balete fighting. Most
of the other losses have been due to
shellshock.
"Dogs are very sensitive to artillery," Jim said. "We usually give
a shellshocked dog to some outfit
further back, as a mascot."
A war dog can detect enemy soldiers as far as 800 yards away if
the wind is right, Jim said.
The dogs are specialists-some
serving as scouts with patrols, some
as messengers. They have carried
battle messages as far as three
miles here. They are also used in
sentry duty.
"We've run more than 700 patrols," Jim said. "Until we came
to Luzon we had never had a patrol
that was accompanied by a dog fired
on unexpectedly. Up here it has
been tougher. The wind currents in
these mountains are tricky. I've
had five men wounded, all m the
Balete area."
Some infantry officers have a high
regard for the war dogs' work. Oth' ers aren't "believers," Jim ex1 plained.
Most of the dogs were donated to
the army quartermaster corps. The
dog col'ps is a quartermaster unit,
but those elements sent to this theater have been transferred to the infantry. So Head and his men were
entitled to wear the combat infantry
badge-and are proud of it.
Captain was donated by a resident
of Oakland, Calif., who had given
him that name. This platoon's dogs
are all German shepherds or
crosses of that strain except for one
Norwegian elkhound. There used to
be an Irish setter, but he was killed
by a land mine on Morotai.
Jim Head is 29. He has a wife
and two children. He did petroleum
exploration work in Arabia in 193840 for the California Arabian Standard Oil company. That's where he
practiced falconry against the khurwan and hobara birds of Ibn Saud's
realm.

Owyong. I asked how old she was.
"What do you guess?" she asked.
I guessed 20, and she said "Something like that."
'
Well, losing face fast, the big
strong newspaper man went on
down the hill and left it to the ladies
to plow forward on foot.
Colonel Johnson pointed to the
big trees as we walked toward the
jeQp.
"Mahogany," he said. "Good red
mahogany. See where a shell has
split that one open? Now tha ~ we
are getting a road up here some
smart Filipino will come in logging
and make a fortune."
It was raining harder still as our
jeep started, and the slippery mud
gave it poor footing. We hadn't gone
a hundred yards before it got stuck.
We got out and pushed, the wheels
throwing mud over us. We started
again, but this time the jeep slid
halfway off the road and stopped at
a precarious tilt. We gave up and
walked.
It was downhill, but no fun. Combat boots· have little traction after
they're smeared with wet clay.
We passed a bulldozer trying to
improve the road - mud doesn't
bother those babies. We passed sopping linemen stringing wire. And a
lone rifleman taking occasional shots
at something moving at the foot of
the hill.
"Probably a chicken," he said.
"But why take a chance?"
"The bulldozers are winning the
war up here," said Colonel Johnson.
And it's easy to believe. All over
this area you see new roads carved
around the ridges. Without dozers
to make roads the supply problem
would be appalling. It's bad enough
now.

The man who is expected to take
charge of this program is David
Godwin, a veteran of the forest service, who has been active in anti-fire
experimental work for a number of
years.
Godwin already has investigated
the possibility of dive-bombing forest fires, using bombs which in reality were exploding fire extinguishers. That, however, was a number
of years ago, and didn't meet with
much success. It was difficult, the

spot where the bomb-extinguishers
would do the most good, and there
was difficulty in covering a sufficiently large area.
Aviation enthusiasts, however, are
countil)g upon effective bomb-sight
and other precision instruments to
change this situation. As an alternative, they believe there may be
great possibilities in the use of helicopters. No doubt a fleet of bombing planes could be used to advantage in blasting a fire out of a forest,
especially with ground support from
a paratrooper battalion.
The use of parachute-dropped
troops to fight forest fires was first
tried a few years ago, and they have
been seeing action in this capacity
ever since. But there never has
been enough of them to combat a
really big fire. This number can be
expanded greatly after the war, and
the wartime training of paratroop
combat units can bring about the
organization of a formidable firefighting force.
'Jeep' Will Be Fire Engine.
When it comes to post-war techniques in forest fire fighting, however, it may be not only the use of
waves of bombing planes, and parachute troops to augment the present
forces. The ubiquitous "jeep"-accustomed to the jungle trails of
New Guinea and the difficult terrain
of Africa and Italy-is already recommended by professional foresters
as highly suitable for service as a
miniature fire engine. Likewise, the
"walkie-talkie" radio unquestionably
will be used by · the thousands to
keep in contact between fire chiefs,
their crewmen, aviation spotters, pilots and paratroopers overhead.
"Half-tracks," which combine automobile speeds with tank and tractor ability to negotiate swamps and
rugged land, can serve efficiently as
big brother to the jeeps, and for use
as bulldozers to scrape fire trail barriers to the progress of flames. Bulldozers already are essential firefighting equipment.
Even flame-throwers developed by
the chemical warfare service may
be called upon for building "back
fires," burning out areas in the path

of spreading flames. Accompanying them would be men with fire extinguishers, to guard against the
back fires getting out of control.
The paratrooper, however, will
doubtless have a glory and a duty
all his own. His greatest service
will come from the fact that he can
get there first. Once a watcher from
a fire-tower or from a patrolling
plane spots smoke, it need be only a
few minutes until a paratrooper can
land within 50 or 100 yards of the
blaze, and by getting there while the
fire is just starting, he will be able
in man' cases to extinguish it without additional help.
Paratroopers b;r Hundred.
But when long periods of dryness
have rendered the forests highly inflammable and fires spread quickly,
a radio summons from the spotters
can bring reinforcements in a hurry. A single big plane may bring
a score or more paratroopers; a dozen planes could bring them by the
hundreds.
With their faces protected by plastic masks, heads covered with padded helmets, and bodies covered
with non-ripping fabrics, to spare
them injuries in case of tree-top
landings; and with coils of rope
handy for quick descent from the
trees, the paratroopers can reach a
fire many precious minutes sooner
than men on trucks or horseback can
generally arrive.
Portable fire-fighting devices that
are strapped to a man's back are
already standard forest equipment
suitable for the paratroopers. Sometimes these are hand-pumps with a
small tank of water. An alternative device uses water but builds
the pressure behind it with carbon
dioxide, either in its liquid form or
in the form of "dry ice." Some
portable extinguishers use carbon dioxide itself to play upon the fires.
It snuffs them out by driving away
the oxygen. Extinguishers of greater capacity and other supplies will
be attached to parachutes and
dropped from othc7 planes.
Meantime, the jeeps and halftracks, trucks and bulldozers will be
moving up with other reinforcements and supplies. They may bring
the flame throwers to build back
fires, if necessary. They'll bring long
lines of hose and high-pressure
pumps, powered by motors which
are twins to those used on rowboats.
With the high pressure equipment,
they'll be able to combat fires in
"snags," dead trees which are an
especial menace because they tend
to carry ground fires upward to the
tops of other trees.
Ground Reinlorcements.
When a forest fire goes into the
tree tops it is about as difficult to
check as any fire can possibly be.
In an old forest a crown fire may
be as high above ground a~ the 15th
story of a skyscraper-with no automatic sprinkler system to help
combat it, and plenty of oxygen to
make it burn freely.

Homemakers Can Shampoo
Furniture, Rugs Safely
Homemakers can safely give upholstered furniture and rugs a "dry
suds" shampoD. To make the shampoo, chip finely and dissolve one
small cake of neutral or very mild
soap in one quart of boiling water
and allow to cool. Add one-half cup
of the soap jelly to a pint of cold
water and beat with an egg beater
until it is worked up into a pretty
white froth that looks like a good
icing for a cake. Apply the "dry
suds" ·to the fn hric, cleaning a small
area at a time, and let each new
area overlap the last one a little.
The "dry suds" soak up the dirt and
are then removed by scraping ofT
with a plate scraper or spatula. To
rinse, use a sponge or cloth wrung
from clear, lukewarm water making
sure the foundation stays dry but the
soap is removed, and wipe the fabric well. It will take two rinses to
get the "dry suds" off. The last
step in the "dry suds" treatment is
to wipe the fabric thoroughly dry.
For this, use a dry absorbent cloth.
Be sure the finishing strokes go in
the direction of the nap or weave
of the material.

Have you at such times noticed
yourself feeling nervous, irritable.
so tired, a bit blue-due to female
functional periodic disturbances?
Then don't delay! Try this great
medicme-Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound - to relieve such
symptoms. It's so .:.fiective because
it has a soothing effect on one of
woman's most important organs.

trained as companions to blinded
veterans. Dogs as "living hobbies"
are also proving of positive therapeutic value in speeding the recovery
and reconditioning of wounded and
physically or men tally disabled men
sent back from overseas. At the Pawling, N. Y., Convalescent Center they
are being used as a definite part of
the services' recreational activities,
and at Camp Ellis, Ill., exceptional
success is being experienced with a
"Beagles in Reconditioning" program,
consisting principally of field trials
which give recuperating individuals
a combination of physical exercise
and recreation.
On the walls of tents and barracks,
pictures of beloved pets left behind
are more than holding their own
against the better publicized "pin-up
girls." Hundreds of honorably discharged war dogs are again taking up
their home ties, most of them th~:
better in manners, training and obedience for going into service.
Sentiment is growing in many
places for some sort of a memorial
to mark the contribution of America's dogs on the war front and the
home front. Already the Gaines Dog
Research Center has announced an
award of $500.00 to the_ person submitting the most acceptable design
idea or sketch for a proposed memorial to be raised in honor of the dogs
that will !;lave fought and died in
World War II. lt has been suggested
that the m&lt;lst appropriate place for
raising such a K-9 memonal would
be in front of the Pentagon Building,
home of the War Department in. the

Biscuit Dough Kept on
Hand for Ready Use
Baking powder biscuit dough is the
basis of many dishes. The basic mixture of flour, baking powder, salt
and shortening will keep well if
stored in a tightly-covered can or
jar in the refrigerator, ready to be
combined with various ingredients
for biscuits, rolls and desserts.
Meat and vegetable pies can be
topped with tiny drop biscuits, or
biscuit dough cut in circles, squares
or crescents. Have the meat pie filling piping hot and bake the biscuits
quickly to keep them light.
Left-over cooked meat can be
ground, seasoned and mixed with
gravy or brown sauce, and spread
on rollpd hiscuit dough. Then roll it
like a jelly-roll and bake it. Use a
sweet filling for this jelly-roll bis,
cuit for excellent breakfa$-t rolls. To
IPake shortcakes, add sugar to the
basic biscuit dough, about one table!'poonful for each cup of biscuit
mix. A d milK, roll the dough out,
and cut it into mdividual rounds.
Brush one circle with melted lard,
top it wit,1 another round, and bake
it in a hot oven. Fill with fruit.

Trials for Nazi Bigwigs

Having voted to extend the reciprocal trade treaty act for three
years and grant the President power
to cut tariffs 50 per cent under existing levels, the house also approved the Bretton Woods monetary
agreements as part of the administration's program for participation
in world economic stabilization.
Passed by a large vote against
the oppostion of a handful of Republicans, the agreements include:
1
An 8,800,000,000 dollar fund of
currencies of 44 or more
United Nations upon which any
member country could draw to obtain foreign exchange at a stable
rate for conducting business;
A 9,100,000,000 dollar world bank
for reconstruction and development, with the various governments
either loaning money directly or
guaranteeing any private loans
made.
As has been the case ever since
the announcement of the agreements, chief opposition centered
around the 8,800,000,000 dollar currency fund, designed to prevent upward or downward flucta tions in
the value of different currencies.
According to opponents of the plan,
sound currencies would be drawn
from the fund, leaving only the unstable money of countries not adequately required to straighten out
their economic affairs.

With Russia's agreement to permit the discussion of disputes by

In insisting that any of the five

the discussion of a diSpute, Russia almost stood alone through three
weeks of prolonged bickering, finally giving in after consultations between U. S. Envoys Hopkins and
Harriman with Stalin in Moscow.
Though the agreement permits discussion of a dispute without danger
of veto, any of the Big Five can
vote down proposals for formally investigating the trouble or calling
for peaceful settlement.

&lt;:rowd. I don't want anything except to send you out fishing, Tomasino."
Tomasino said: "There is a
trick," but he sat down again.
The Major said: "Tomasino, we
will need about half a dozen boats.
Can you help arrange this?"
"To whom will the tribute be
paid? How much will it be?"
"You won't have to pay any tribute to the Americans, Tomasino."
"No protection. No tribute. I do
not believe it. And how much tax
must we pay on the gross weight
of our catch?"
"There will not be any tax on
your catch, Tomasino. You will
only have to pay the regular taxes.
It is true that your profit will be
limited to fifteen per cent of what
you take in. The rest you must
spend in wages to your fishermen
and upkeep on your boats."
"No protection, no tribute, no special tax. You are making fun of
me, American."
"Why should I make fun of you,
fisherman? It is my job to run this
town. I consider it my job to keep
the people of this town alive. They
haven't enough to eat. I want fish
for them. I want you to go fishing.
Why should I make fun of you?"
Tomasino stood up. "American,"
he said, "I begin to think you are
different from the others."
The Major ignored this concessian and said: "Tomasino, I want
vou to be the bead of the fishermen
~f Adana. There will no longer be
a criminal like - what was his
name?"
"Enea."
"There will no longer be an Enea
over the fishermen. I want a fisherman to be in charge of the fishermen."
Tomasino's sad face almost broke
into a smile . "There would be justice in that, and we fishermen aren't
•:ery well acquainted with justice."
Then the morose man thought a
moment. "No," he said, "I can't
do it."
"Why not?"
"I would be a man of authority.
I would be the thing 1 have hated
all my life. The other fishermen
would laugh at me for becoming
the thing I had always hated most."
"But Tomasino, you've just admitted that I was different from other men of authority. You could be
different too. It is possible to make
your authority seem to spring from
the very people over whom you have
authority. And after a while, Tomasino, it actually does spring from
them, and you are only the instrument of their will. That is the thing
that the Americans want to teach
you who have lived under men who
imagined that they themselves were
authority."
Tomasino thought a long time and
then said: "It is too good. There is
a trick."
"Yes, as a matter of fact there is
a trick, fis herman. The trick is that
~orne men are not good enough for

this thing, and that makes it fall
down. Right here in thi~ invasion
we have a general who is not good
enough, General Marvin. He lmagines tha he is something that
ought to be worshiped. Also we have
one who may not be good enough,
I'm not sure yet, much closer to us
than the General. I mean t~e Captain of the Navy who runs this port.
He is a young man and very fond
of authority. And Tomasino, we
have to get permission from him
before you and the others can go
out fishing."
"Who is this young man of authority?" Tomasino said with a sullen face. "I will bash his head in
with my gaffing hook." And the fisherman's face looked as if he meant
it.
"Let's go and talk with him."
And so the Major and Tomasino
went to see Lieutenant Livingston
in the Port Captain's office. The
Lieutenant was feeling very grumpy
after the brush-off Major Joppolo
had given him because he was in
a hurry. Lieutenant Livingston was
in no mood to grant requests to an
Army man and a meatball.
Major Joppolo, being single-minded, not to say absent-minded, was
not in the least conscious of Lieutenant Livingston's mood.
"Hi, Captain," he said blithely
when he and Tomasino walked in.
"Back again."
"So I see," said Lieutenant Livingston without pleasure.
"This is Tomasino, the head of
the fishermen here." Tomasino,
hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant a Fascist salute.
Lieutenant

"Would the old fisherman mind

taking a seat out there in the hall?

Major J oppolo said: "Tomasino
wouldn't mind, but I would. What
kind of way is that to run an office
in an Italian town?" Tomasino,
hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant another Fascist salute.
Quite coolly Lieutenant Livingston
said: "I don't know how you run
your offices in the Army, Captain,
but in the Navy we have something
we call security. We can't afford
to be careless."
Major Joppolo was indignant. "I'll
vouch for Tomasino." Tomasino saluted. He hated authority, but he
knew it when he saw it.
Lieutenant Livingston said testily: "Major, after all, this ·is my
office ."
The Major said: "Well, it's Tomasino's town." Tomasino saluted.
The Lieutenant said: "What do
you want, Major?"
Major Joppolo said: "I want the
Navy's permission to send out six
fishing boats to get fish for Adana."
Lieutenant Livingston said: "Impossible."
Major Joppolo said: "What's impossible about it?"
The Lieutenant said: "We'd have
to get permission from ComNavit
and he'd have to refer it to ComNavNaw, and they're both Admirals.
Not a chance."
Major Joppolo said: "What's all
that gibberish mean?"
The Lieutenant said: "Commander Navy Italy and Commander Navy
North African Waters. Is that gibberish, Major?"
The Major said: "Why do you
have to go running to the Admirals? Don't they give you any responsibility at all?"
Lieutenant Livingston spoke very
patiently. "You wouldn't understand," he said. "This is a Navy
problem ."
"Listen, Captain, we're in this
war together. What's itching you?"
"How do you know this man isn't
in the Italian Navy? How do you
know he isn't being paid by the
German Navy? How do you know
he just wants to fish?"
Major Joppolo was too outraged

to laugh. "Tomasmo?"
"Have you ever talked with Toma·
sino?" Tomasino saluted.
The Lieutenant said: "Can he
speak English?"
Major Joppolo had had enough.
He said: "Listen, Captain, this town
is hungry. It needs fish. If it

Its d1ct, people are going to d1e
here of starvation. Are you going
to let these men go out fishing, or
aren't you?"
Lieutenant Livingston was surprised by the Major's vehemence.
"They might hit loose mines anrt
be blown up," he said defensively.
"I don't care. This is a \Vilr .
Some people've got to get killed so
others can Jive. Are you going to
let these men go out fishing, or
aren't you?"
Lieutenant Livmgston said uncertainly: "I don't think I ought to."
Major Joppolo said: "Captain, unless you give permission for these
men to go out, I'm going to send a
separate letter naming each person
who dies of hunger in this town to
your commanding officer, and in
each letter I'm going to say it's
yo.~r fault."
.

"You know we could," Major Joppolo said. "By day after tomorrow
I want you to have six charts ready
showing exactly where these boats
can go and not run into our mine
fields. They don't have to show
where the mines are. all they need
show is an area where the boats can
go. I'll see that these men stick
to that area. Have it readv clay aft.
er tomorrow."
And before he could catch himself, Lieutenant Livingston of Kent
and Yale had said to Major Joppolo
of the Bowery and Tammany Hall:
"Yes, sir."
Major Joppolo left with Tomasino
before the Lieutenant could catch
his wits.
Outside, Tomasino said: "I hate
him. What did he say?"
"A lot of foolishness, except for
one thing," the Major said. "If you
go out fishing, Tomasino, you may
get hurt. Your boat might hit an
American mine."
"What do I care?" said Tomasino.
"I am going fishing. Mister Major, if you could know how unhappy
the fishermen of Adana have been.
All we want in the world is to go
fishing. We will go even if we have
to pay graft to the men of authority. Now you say we don't have to
do that. Thank you, Mister Major."
"No," the Major said, and he decided to try something. "No, Tomasino, I thank you for taking charge
of the fishermen, and I kiss your
hand."
Tomasino looked at this man of
authority, and he said : "You are
different." And the old fisherman
turned and ran out on the mole to
the Tina, and he shouted as he ran,
as if telling his boat: "We are going fishing! We are going fishing!
We are going fishing!"
The telephone rang.
"Hello," Major Joppolo said.
"Joppolo, Amgot."
"Joppolo, this is Sartorius, up at
Vicinam are."
"Oh, hello, Colonel."
"About that bell."
"Yeah, any luck?"
"Oh, they shipped it off."
"Not only that, but the third entry says the Fecoratta Artillery
Foundry at Forty-three Via Edda
Mussolini in Milan- can you imagine naming a street for that flewsie? -it says that the Foundry acknowledged receipt of the bell. That
entry was on July the second. I'm
afraid your bell is just a hunk of
cannon now, Joppolo."
"Too bad."
"Well, at least I found the records for you."
"That's awful diSappointing."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. But I'm glad
I could set you straight on it." All
Colonel Sartorius wanted was one
word of thanks.
"These people down here'll be
heartbroken," the single-minded Major said.
"Is that a fact ?" said Colonel Sartorius. "Well, you're welcome," and
he hung up hard.
The day that Mayor Nasta came
down from the hills Major Joppolo
got his first idea that perhaps the
people of Adana really were glad
to have the Americans around.
Major Joppolo was havi.ng lunch
with Captain Purvis at the Albergo
dei Pescatori. Joppo!o and Purvis
had almost nothing in common, but
they were beginning to like each
other pretty well. It was probably
just tha t they were both officers
and Americans, a nd no matter
whether they would h ave been
worlds apart back . in the States,
here they were blood brothers, and
they could talk over their reactions
and laugh together and understand
each other. Brother Purvis still
wanted to get Brother J oppolo
drunk, but even that issue, which
began bitterly, was now becoming a
joke and a promise of some fun.
The Albergo dei Pescatori had the
best food in Adana, and the Major
and the Captain ate there regularly
now. The food was nothing to write
home about, but it was better than
C Rations. Lunch and dinner were
exactly alike and never varied: pasta with tomato sauce, a little fried
eggplant and cheese, an omelet,
bread, fruit and red wine. The place
owned just nine reg ular customers

Res;,due Removal Helps
Control Corn Borer ;
ops
the late
flying
mothinto
stage
in and
the egg-laying
spring or
early in the summer from borers
that have passed the winter in the
stalks and stubble of corn, and other
coarse-stemmed crops and weeds.
In order to prevent serious increases
of this pest, entomologists of the
USDA's research administration,
say that all residues of these crops
and weeds, especially corn, should
be completely destroyed.
In 1944, despite light infestation in
the eastern part of the infected' region, due primarily to drouth conditions, the European corn borer
caused a corn crop loss of over $22,000,000. Under favorable weather
conditions, each female moth will
lay an average of 400 eggs - and
sometimes as :nany as 1,900-which
hatch in four to nine days.
Infested cornstalks are removed
in three ways: by feeding to livestock; by deep and clean plowing;
and by complete burning. In the
eastern states areas the corn borer
attacks-in addition to corn-a great
variety of vegetables, field crops,
flowers, large-stemmed weeds and
grasses. In these areas, remnants
of these plants must be included
in farm disposal or clean-up operations. In the lake states area
the borer breeds mostly in corn. In
most of the infested states there
are two broods of the borer per
year, and in the southernmost of
these there may be three broods.
The insect begins its activities earlier in the season in the most southern and eastern states and continues
them later than it does in the lake
states.

Supper Thoughts: When you
are having cold cuts and a substantial salad as main interest for
supper, have something hot in the
way of a quick bread just out of
the oven . Good suggestions include these that bake quickly:
corn bread, whole wheat biscuits,
prune muffins and orange marmalade rolls.
A freezer of homemade ice
cream is a welcome treat at outdoors suppers. Try some flavored
with fresh berries or apricots, and
be sure to have the cookie jar
handy.
Doll up your garden party supper salads with plenty of relishes
such as olives, pickles, radish
roses and carrot sticks. They
make for nice nibbling.
Bring out the checked cloths
and paper napkins, old-fashioned
jugs for flowers, and picnic utensils for under-the-trees eating.
They go with the atmosphere.

STAB ILIZE'R

WITH 25TH DIVISION, AT BALETE PASS, LUZON.-Jim
Head used to hunt with falcons in Saudi Arabia. Now he hunts
with war dogs on Luzon. And this time it's not birds he's hunting
but Japs.
I was chewing the rag with him here. A German shepherd
named Captain lay under the co~ on which Head sat. Somebody
tossed a c1garette on the floor Without putting it out.
Head spoke softly: "Captain!"
The dog emerged and stood attentively.
"Put out the cigarette," said Head.
Captain sniffed and looked around,
spotted the smoking butt, slapped a
paw on it, and the
deed was done.
Captain has other
tricks, but Head
emphasizes that
this stuff is extracurricular and has
nothing to do with
the war-dog business.
Head - First Lt.
James S. Head,
Lee G. Miller Carlyle,
Ill. - is
commanding officer
of the 26th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon. His outfit came overseas in
June of '44 and saw action at Biak,
Aitape and Morotai before coming
to Luzon, where it has been working with the 25th or "Tropic Lightning" division around Balete pass.
Jim brought 31 dogs to the Pacific. Now there are only 12. Three
have been killed-two of them by
grenades in the Balete fighting. Most
of the other losses have been due to
shellshock.
"Dogs are very sensitive to artillery," Jim said. "We usually give
a shellshocked dog to some outfit
further back, as a mascot."
A war dog can detect enemy soldiers as far as 800 yards away if
the wind is right, Jim said.
The dogs are specialists-some
serving as scouts with patrols, some
as messengers. They have carried
battle messages as far as three
miles here. They are also used in
sentry duty.
"We've run more than 700 patrols," Jim said. "Until we came
to Luzon we had never had a patrol
that was accompanied by a dog fired
on unexpectedly. Up here it has
been tougher. The wind currents in
these mountains are tricky. I've
had five men wounded, all m the
Balete area."
Some infantry officers have a high
regard for the war dogs' work. Oth' ers aren't "believers," Jim ex1 plained.
Most of the dogs were donated to
the army quartermaster corps. The
dog col'ps is a quartermaster unit,
but those elements sent to this theater have been transferred to the infantry. So Head and his men were
entitled to wear the combat infantry
badge-and are proud of it.
Captain was donated by a resident
of Oakland, Calif., who had given
him that name. This platoon's dogs
are all German shepherds or
crosses of that strain except for one
Norwegian elkhound. There used to
be an Irish setter, but he was killed
by a land mine on Morotai.
Jim Head is 29. He has a wife
and two children. He did petroleum
exploration work in Arabia in 193840 for the California Arabian Standard Oil company. That's where he
practiced falconry against the khurwan and hobara birds of Ibn Saud's
realm.

Owyong. I asked how old she was.
"What do you guess?" she asked.
I guessed 20, and she said "Something like that."
'
Well, losing face fast, the big
strong newspaper man went on
down the hill and left it to the ladies
to plow forward on foot.
Colonel Johnson pointed to the
big trees as we walked toward the
jeQp.
"Mahogany," he said. "Good red
mahogany. See where a shell has
split that one open? Now tha ~ we
are getting a road up here some
smart Filipino will come in logging
and make a fortune."
It was raining harder still as our
jeep started, and the slippery mud
gave it poor footing. We hadn't gone
a hundred yards before it got stuck.
We got out and pushed, the wheels
throwing mud over us. We started
again, but this time the jeep slid
halfway off the road and stopped at
a precarious tilt. We gave up and
walked.
It was downhill, but no fun. Combat boots· have little traction after
they're smeared with wet clay.
We passed a bulldozer trying to
improve the road - mud doesn't
bother those babies. We passed sopping linemen stringing wire. And a
lone rifleman taking occasional shots
at something moving at the foot of
the hill.
"Probably a chicken," he said.
"But why take a chance?"
"The bulldozers are winning the
war up here," said Colonel Johnson.
And it's easy to believe. All over
this area you see new roads carved
around the ridges. Without dozers
to make roads the supply problem
would be appalling. It's bad enough
now.

The man who is expected to take
charge of this program is David
Godwin, a veteran of the forest service, who has been active in anti-fire
experimental work for a number of
years.
Godwin already has investigated
the possibility of dive-bombing forest fires, using bombs which in reality were exploding fire extinguishers. That, however, was a number
of years ago, and didn't meet with
much success. It was difficult, the

spot where the bomb-extinguishers
would do the most good, and there
was difficulty in covering a sufficiently large area.
Aviation enthusiasts, however, are
countil)g upon effective bomb-sight
and other precision instruments to
change this situation. As an alternative, they believe there may be
great possibilities in the use of helicopters. No doubt a fleet of bombing planes could be used to advantage in blasting a fire out of a forest,
especially with ground support from
a paratrooper battalion.
The use of parachute-dropped
troops to fight forest fires was first
tried a few years ago, and they have
been seeing action in this capacity
ever since. But there never has
been enough of them to combat a
really big fire. This number can be
expanded greatly after the war, and
the wartime training of paratroop
combat units can bring about the
organization of a formidable firefighting force.
'Jeep' Will Be Fire Engine.
When it comes to post-war techniques in forest fire fighting, however, it may be not only the use of
waves of bombing planes, and parachute troops to augment the present
forces. The ubiquitous "jeep"-accustomed to the jungle trails of
New Guinea and the difficult terrain
of Africa and Italy-is already recommended by professional foresters
as highly suitable for service as a
miniature fire engine. Likewise, the
"walkie-talkie" radio unquestionably
will be used by · the thousands to
keep in contact between fire chiefs,
their crewmen, aviation spotters, pilots and paratroopers overhead.
"Half-tracks," which combine automobile speeds with tank and tractor ability to negotiate swamps and
rugged land, can serve efficiently as
big brother to the jeeps, and for use
as bulldozers to scrape fire trail barriers to the progress of flames. Bulldozers already are essential firefighting equipment.
Even flame-throwers developed by
the chemical warfare service may
be called upon for building "back
fires," burning out areas in the path

of spreading flames. Accompanying them would be men with fire extinguishers, to guard against the
back fires getting out of control.
The paratrooper, however, will
doubtless have a glory and a duty
all his own. His greatest service
will come from the fact that he can
get there first. Once a watcher from
a fire-tower or from a patrolling
plane spots smoke, it need be only a
few minutes until a paratrooper can
land within 50 or 100 yards of the
blaze, and by getting there while the
fire is just starting, he will be able
in man' cases to extinguish it without additional help.
Paratroopers b;r Hundred.
But when long periods of dryness
have rendered the forests highly inflammable and fires spread quickly,
a radio summons from the spotters
can bring reinforcements in a hurry. A single big plane may bring
a score or more paratroopers; a dozen planes could bring them by the
hundreds.
With their faces protected by plastic masks, heads covered with padded helmets, and bodies covered
with non-ripping fabrics, to spare
them injuries in case of tree-top
landings; and with coils of rope
handy for quick descent from the
trees, the paratroopers can reach a
fire many precious minutes sooner
than men on trucks or horseback can
generally arrive.
Portable fire-fighting devices that
are strapped to a man's back are
already standard forest equipment
suitable for the paratroopers. Sometimes these are hand-pumps with a
small tank of water. An alternative device uses water but builds
the pressure behind it with carbon
dioxide, either in its liquid form or
in the form of "dry ice." Some
portable extinguishers use carbon dioxide itself to play upon the fires.
It snuffs them out by driving away
the oxygen. Extinguishers of greater capacity and other supplies will
be attached to parachutes and
dropped from othc7 planes.
Meantime, the jeeps and halftracks, trucks and bulldozers will be
moving up with other reinforcements and supplies. They may bring
the flame throwers to build back
fires, if necessary. They'll bring long
lines of hose and high-pressure
pumps, powered by motors which
are twins to those used on rowboats.
With the high pressure equipment,
they'll be able to combat fires in
"snags," dead trees which are an
especial menace because they tend
to carry ground fires upward to the
tops of other trees.
Ground Reinlorcements.
When a forest fire goes into the
tree tops it is about as difficult to
check as any fire can possibly be.
In an old forest a crown fire may
be as high above ground a~ the 15th
story of a skyscraper-with no automatic sprinkler system to help
combat it, and plenty of oxygen to
make it burn freely.

Homemakers Can Shampoo
Furniture, Rugs Safely
Homemakers can safely give upholstered furniture and rugs a "dry
suds" shampoD. To make the shampoo, chip finely and dissolve one
small cake of neutral or very mild
soap in one quart of boiling water
and allow to cool. Add one-half cup
of the soap jelly to a pint of cold
water and beat with an egg beater
until it is worked up into a pretty
white froth that looks like a good
icing for a cake. Apply the "dry
suds" ·to the fn hric, cleaning a small
area at a time, and let each new
area overlap the last one a little.
The "dry suds" soak up the dirt and
are then removed by scraping ofT
with a plate scraper or spatula. To
rinse, use a sponge or cloth wrung
from clear, lukewarm water making
sure the foundation stays dry but the
soap is removed, and wipe the fabric well. It will take two rinses to
get the "dry suds" off. The last
step in the "dry suds" treatment is
to wipe the fabric thoroughly dry.
For this, use a dry absorbent cloth.
Be sure the finishing strokes go in
the direction of the nap or weave
of the material.

Sentiment is growing in many

Biscuit Dough Kept on
Hand for Ready Use
Baking powder biscuit dough is the
basis of many dishes. The basic mixture of flour, baking powder, salt
and shortening will keep well if
stored in a tightly-covered can or
jar in the refrigerator, ready to be
combined with various ingredients
for biscuits, rolls and desserts.
Meat and vegetable pies can be
topped with tiny drop biscuits, or
biscuit dough cut in circles, squares
or crescents. Have the meat pie filling piping hot and bake the biscuits
quickly to keep them light.
Left-over cooked meat can be
ground, seasoned and mixed with
gravy or brown sauce, and spread
on rollpd hiscuit dough. Then roll it
like a jelly-roll and bake it. Use a
sweet filling for this jelly-roll bis,
cuit for excellent breakfa$-t rolls. To
IPake shortcakes, add sugar to the
basic biscuit dough, about one table!'poonful for each cup of biscuit
mix. A d milK, roll the dough out,
and cut it into mdividual rounds.
Brush one circle with melted lard,
top it wit,1 another round, and bake
it in a hot oven. Fill with fruit.

Trials for Nazi Bigwigs

Having voted to extend the reciprocal trade treaty act for three
years and grant the President power
to cut tariffs 50 per cent under existing levels, the house also approved the Bretton Woods monetary
agreements as part of the administration's program for participation
in world economic stabilization.
Passed by a large vote against
the oppostion of a handful of Republicans, the agreements include:
1
An 8,800,000,000 dollar fund of
currencies of 44 or more
United Nations upon which any
member country could draw to obtain foreign exchange at a stable
rate for conducting business;
A 9,100,000,000 dollar world bank
for reconstruction and development, with the various governments
either loaning money directly or
guaranteeing any private loans
made.
As has been the case ever since
the announcement of the agreements, chief opposition centered
around the 8,800,000,000 dollar currency fund, designed to prevent upward or downward flucta tions in
the value of different currencies.
According to opponents of the plan,
sound currencies would be drawn
from the fund, leaving only the unstable money of countries not adequately required to straighten out
their economic affairs.

SAN FRANCISCO:

With Russia's agreement to permit the discussion of disputes by
the security council of the United
Nations' postwar peace organization, the log-jam holding up the conclusion of the San Francisco conference was broken.
In insisting that any of the five
major powers have the right to veto
the discussion of a diSpute, Russia almost stood alone through three
weeks of prolonged bickering, finally giving in after consultations between U. S. Envoys Hopkins and
Harriman with Stalin in Moscow.
Though the agreement permits discussion of a dispute without danger
of veto, any of the Big Five can
vote down proposals for formally investigating the trouble or calling
for peaceful settlement.
One of the outstanding issues of
the conference, the veto question
ranked in importance with the subjects of international trusteeships

Tomasino was shaken. "Protection," he said. "Before you came

The Major said: "There will be

Tomasino. That's the kind of thing
we want to eliminate."
Tomasino said: "You are lying
to me. There is a trick."
At this moment Captain Purvis
swung into the port area in . his
jeep. He jumped out and ran mto
1he delighted crowd, shouting as he
ran: "Scram, you. Get out of here."
He pulled out his automatic and
fired six shots into the air.
The crowd broke instantly. "The
Germans, the Germans," one shouted.
"The Fascists have come back,"
someone else shouted.
"It's
all
over,"
a
woman
screamed.
"I've been wounded," a man
moaned. Of course he had not been.
All f&gt;r Captain Purvis's shots went
into the air.
Within twenty seconds the entire
crowd had disappeared into the
streets of Adana, and there was
nothing left at the head of the Malo
~i Ponente except the smoke fro~
Captain Purvis's Colt. The Captam
got into his jeep and drove off.
Tomasino was alarmed by the
shots. "You have come to shoot
me," he shouted, springing to . his
feet. "I knew there was a tnck.
You want to kill me."
But Major Joppolo calmed him.
..That was just to get rid of the
&lt;:rowd. I don't want anything except to send you out fishing, Tomasino."
Tomasino said: "There is a
trick," but he sat down again.
The Major said: "Tomasino, we
will need about half a dozen boats.
Can you help arrange this?"
"To whom will the tribute be
paid? How much will it be?"
"You won't have to pay any tribute to the Americans, Tomasino."
"No protection. No tribute. I do
not believe it. And how much tax
must we pay on the gross weight
of our catch?"
"There will not be any tax on
your catch, Tomasino. You will
only have to pay the regular taxes.
It is true that your profit will be
limited to fifteen per cent of what
you take in. The rest you must
spend in wages to your fishermen
and upkeep on your boats."
"No protection, no tribute, no special tax. You are making fun of
me, American."
"Why should I make fun of you,
fisherman? It is my job to run this
town. I consider it my job to keep
the people of this town alive. They
haven't enough to eat. I want fish
for them. I want you to go fishing.
Why should I make fun of you?"
Tomasino stood up. "American,"
he said, "I begin to think you are
different from the others."
The Major ignored this concessian and said: "Tomasino, I want
vou to be the bead of the fishermen
~f Adana. There will no longer be
a criminal like - what was his
name?"
"Enea."
"There will no longer be an Enea
over the fishermen. I want a fisherman to be in charge of the fishermen."
Tomasino's sad face almost broke
into a smile . "There would be justice in that, and we fishermen aren't
•:ery well acquainted with justice."
Then the morose man thought a
moment. "No," he said, "I can't
do it."
"Why not?"
"I would be a man of authority.
I would be the thing 1 have hated
all my life. The other fishermen
would laugh at me for becoming
the thing I had always hated most."
"But Tomasino, you've just admitted that I was different from other men of authority. You could be
different too. It is possible to make
your authority seem to spring from
the very people over whom you have
authority. And after a while, Tomasino, it actually does spring from
them, and you are only the instrument of their will. That is the thing
that the Americans want to teach
you who have lived under men who
imagined that they themselves were
authority."
Tomasino thought a long time and
then said: "It is too good. There is
a trick."
"Yes, as a matter of fact there is
a trick, fis herman. The trick is that
~orne men are not good enough for

this thing, and that makes it fall
down. Right here in thi~ invasion
we have a general who is not good
enough, General Marvin. He lmagines tha he is something that
ought to be worshiped. Also we have
one who may not be good enough,
I'm not sure yet, much closer to us
than the General. I mean t~e Captain of the Navy who runs this port.
He is a young man and very fond
of authority. And Tomasino, we
have to get permission from him
before you and the others can go
out fishing."
"Who is this young man of authority?" Tomasino said with a sullen face. "I will bash his head in
with my gaffing hook." And the fisherman's face looked as if he meant
it.
"Let's go and talk with him."
And so the Major and Tomasino
went to see Lieutenant Livingston
in the Port Captain's office. The
Lieutenant was feeling very grumpy
after the brush-off Major Joppolo
had given him because he was in
a hurry. Lieutenant Livingston was
in no mood to grant requests to an
Army man and a meatball.
Major Joppolo, being single-minded, not to say absent-minded, was
not in the least conscious of Lieutenant Livingston's mood.
"Hi, Captain," he said blithely
when he and Tomasino walked in.
"Back again."
"So I see," said Lieutenant Livingston without pleasure.
"This is Tomasino, the head of
the fishermen here." Tomasino,
hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant a Fascist salute.

taking a seat out there in the hall?
I have a rule that no Italians are

Major J oppolo said: "Tomasino
wouldn't mind, but I would. What
kind of way is that to run an office
in an Italian town?" Tomasino,
hearing his name, gave the Lieutenant another Fascist salute.
Quite coolly Lieutenant Livingston
said: "I don't know how you run
your offices in the Army, Captain,
but in the Navy we have something
we call security. We can't afford
to be careless."
Major Joppolo was indignant. "I'll
vouch for Tomasino." Tomasino saluted. He hated authority, but he
knew it when he saw it.
Lieutenant Livingston said testily: "Major, after all, this ·is my
office ."
The Major said: "Well, it's Tomasino's town." Tomasino saluted.
The Lieutenant said: "What do
you want, Major?"
Major Joppolo said: "I want the
Navy's permission to send out six
fishing boats to get fish for Adana."
Lieutenant Livingston said: "Impossible."
Major Joppolo said: "What's impossible about it?"
The Lieutenant said: "We'd have
to get permission from ComNavit
and he'd have to refer it to ComNavNaw, and they're both Admirals.
Not a chance."
Major Joppolo said: "What's all
that gibberish mean?"
The Lieutenant said: "Commander Navy Italy and Commander Navy
North African Waters. Is that gibberish, Major?"
The Major said: "Why do you
have to go running to the Admirals? Don't they give you any responsibility at all?"
Lieutenant Livingston spoke very
patiently. "You wouldn't understand," he said. "This is a Navy
problem ."
"Listen, Captain, we're in this
war together. What's itching you?"
"How do you know this man isn't
in the Italian Navy? How do you
know he isn't being paid by the
German Navy? How do you know
he just wants to fish?"
Major Joppolo was too outraged

to laugh. "Tomasmo?"
"Have you ever talked with Toma·

The Lieutenant said: "Can he

Major Joppolo had had enough.
He said: "Listen, Captain, this town

"They might hit loose mines anrt

"I don't care. This is a \Vilr .

Lieutenant Livmgston said uncertainly: "I don't think I ought to."
Major Joppolo said: "Captain, unless you give permission for these
men to go out, I'm going to send a

each letter I'm going to say it's

where the mines are. all they need

er tomorrow."
And before he could catch himself, Lieutenant Livingston of Kent
and Yale had said to Major Joppolo
of the Bowery and Tammany Hall:
"Yes, sir."
Major Joppolo left with Tomasino
before the Lieutenant could catch
his wits.
Outside, Tomasino said: "I hate
him. What did he say?"
"A lot of foolishness, except for
one thing," the Major said. "If you
go out fishing, Tomasino, you may
get hurt. Your boat might hit an
American mine."
"What do I care?" said Tomasino.
"I am going fishing. Mister Major, if you could know how unhappy
the fishermen of Adana have been.
All we want in the world is to go
fishing. We will go even if we have
to pay graft to the men of authority. Now you say we don't have to
do that. Thank you, Mister Major."
"No," the Major said, and he decided to try something. "No, Tomasino, I thank you for taking charge
of the fishermen, and I kiss your
hand."
Tomasino looked at this man of
authority, and he said : "You are
different." And the old fisherman
turned and ran out on the mole to
the Tina, and he shouted as he ran,
as if telling his boat: "We are going fishing! We are going fishing!
We are going fishing!"
The telephone rang.
"Hello," Major Joppolo said.
"Joppolo, Amgot."
"Joppolo, this is Sartorius, up at
Vicinam are."
"Oh, hello, Colonel."
"About that bell."
"Yeah, any luck?"
"Oh, they shipped it off."
"Not only that, but the third entry says the Fecoratta Artillery
Foundry at Forty-three Via Edda
Mussolini in Milan- can you imagine naming a street for that flewsie? -it says that the Foundry acknowledged receipt of the bell. That
entry was on July the second. I'm
afraid your bell is just a hunk of
cannon now, Joppolo."
"Too bad."
"Well, at least I found the records for you."
"That's awful diSappointing."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. But I'm glad
I could set you straight on it." All
Colonel Sartorius wanted was one
word of thanks.
"These people down here'll be
heartbroken," the single-minded Major said.
"Is that a fact ?" said Colonel Sartorius. "Well, you're welcome," and
he hung up hard.
The day that Mayor Nasta came
down from the hills Major Joppolo
got his first idea that perhaps the
people of Adana really were glad
to have the Americans around.
Major Joppolo was havi.ng lunch
with Captain Purvis at the Albergo
dei Pescatori. Joppo!o and Purvis
had almost nothing in common, but
they were beginning to like each
other pretty well. It was probably
just tha t they were both officers
and Americans, a nd no matter
whether they would h ave been
worlds apart back . in the States,
here they were blood brothers, and
they could talk over their reactions
and laugh together and understand
each other. Brother Purvis still
wanted to get Brother J oppolo
drunk, but even that issue, which
began bitterly, was now becoming a
joke and a promise of some fun.
The Albergo dei Pescatori had the
best food in Adana, and the Major
and the Captain ate there regularly
now. The food was nothing to write
home about, but it was better than
C Rations. Lunch and dinner were
exactly alike and never varied: pasta with tomato sauce, a little fried
eggplant and cheese, an omelet,
bread, fruit and red wine. The place
owned just nine reg ular customers

RACING
Horse racing is a form ot competition between horses to determine
what shape the customers are in.

It is a demonstration in durability
for all participants except the horses.

It is a type of sport that combines
all the features of a subway jam, a
food riot, a Christmas shopping rush
and a panic in the madhouse.

A man can get the same sensations in any subway station during
the rush hour for :i\1 nickel. And in

Res;,due Removal Helps
Control Corn Borer ;

flying
mothinto
stage
in and
the egg-laying
spring or
early in the summer from borers
that have passed the winter in the
stalks and stubble of corn, and other
coarse-stemmed crops and weeds.
In order to prevent serious increases
of this pest, entomologists of the
USDA's research administration,
say that all residues of these crops
and weeds, especially corn, should
be completely destroyed.
In 1944, despite light infestation in
the eastern part of the infected' region, due primarily to drouth conditions, the European corn borer
caused a corn crop loss of over $22,000,000. Under favorable weather
conditions, each female moth will
lay an average of 400 eggs - and
sometimes as :nany as 1,900-which
hatch in four to nine days.
Infested cornstalks are removed
in three ways: by feeding to livestock; by deep and clean plowing;
and by complete burning. In the
eastern states areas the corn borer
attacks-in addition to corn-a great
variety of vegetables, field crops,
flowers, large-stemmed weeds and
grasses. In these areas, remnants
of these plants must be included
in farm disposal or clean-up operations. In the lake states area
the borer breeds mostly in corn. In
most of the infested states there
are two broods of the borer per
year, and in the southernmost of
these there may be three broods.
The insect begins its activities earlier in the season in the most southern and eastern states and continues
them later than it does in the lake
states.

Fdrm Prices
Passed by the senate as part of
a bill extending OPA for one year,
a provision requiring that farm producers be granted cost plus profit
headed for rough treatment in the
house, with Pres. Harry S. Truman
joining to oppose the amendment.
Drawn by Senators Wherry (Neb.)
and Shipstead (Neb.) and adopted
by a 37 to 30 vote, the cost-plus provision stipulates that "it shan be
unlawful to establish or maintain
against the producers of any livestock, grain or other agricultural
commodity a maximum price . • .
which does not equal all costs and
expenses {including all overhead
expenses, a return on capital and
an allowance for the labor of the
producer and family) . . . plus a
reasonable profit thereon."
While President Truman described the provision as bad and
hoped the house would knoclc it
out, other critics declared that it
would create confusion by replacing
the present parity formula, scaling
farm prices according to general
costs. Countering this argument,
Senator Wherry said the provision
would apply if parity prices failed
to meet expenses.

For the first time since Nazis came to power, the Roman Catholic feast
day of Corpus Christi was observed In Munich, witb procession wending
way through bomb-battered city. Outspoken foe of Hitler's regime, Michael
Cardinal Faulhaber officiated at ceremony.

PACIFIC:
New Campaign
Under heavy attack in the northern portion of their empire, the
Japs face equally heavy pressure
in the south, with Allied forces under command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur moving into northern Borneo
in a drive to conquer the island that
easily could be the prelude to
a campaign against the Indies and
Malaya.
Rich in oil and rubber and possessing good ports and airfields for
a thrust to the west, Borneo was
overrrun by the Japs early in 1942
while the Allied cause in the Pacific
still
remained paralyzed after
Pearl Harbor. With Jap shipping
coming under increasing U. S. air
and sea pressure, Borneo's value to
the enemy has been sharply reduced, and Allied invasion forces
met only meager opposition as they
moved inland in the mountainous country.
Though only lightly defending the
comparj'ltively communicable coastal regions, the Japs did fire the extensive oil installations located
there in an effort to prevent their
use by the Allies for future operations. Flames from the storage
tanks and wells could be seen for
40 miles.

'

VETS CARE:
Le.~ion, V_F_W. Critical
Stung by the American Legion and
V.F.W.'s ringing denunciation of
the veterans administration bureau,
congress moved to look into the
whole question and give ear to the
comprehensive program outlined by
both service organizations for efficient functioning of the department.
With a spokesmar:. declaring that
the bureau may eventually have to
handle the cases of 18,000.000 G .I.s,
the American Legion suggested the
creation of a deputy administrator
under Gen. Omar Bradley and a
realignment of authority under six
assistants to handle medical care,
insurance, finance, Joan guarantees,
readjustment allowances, vocational
training, rehabilitation and education, adjustment of compensation,
pension and retirement claims, construction, supplies and contracts.
Though criticizing the overall operations of the bureau, the American Legion and V.F.W. particularly
rapped vet hospital care, charging
that 47 per cent of the institutions
now give inadequate treatment and
citing instances of abuse in some
centers. To relieve conditions, the
organizations proposed increasing
bed capacity; boosting wages; allowing authorities more leeway in securing help and supplies; more intelligent segregation of patients to speed
recovery, and replacing army with
civilian personnel.

Truman's special emissaries to
Moscow and London. Following receipt of reports from them upon
their return to the U. S., the chief
executive expressed confidence in a
settlement of the Polish question,
declaring the Russians were as anxious to get along with us as we
are with them.
The late President Roosevelt's
No. 1 confidante, Hopkins appeared

Polish situation but also persuaded
the Russians to surrender their demands for vetoing the right of aggrieved nations to air their complaints before the postwar peace

Though distribution of sugar

in last year, the War Food administration fixed rigid quotas for government and civilian users for JulyAugust-September, with the home
front obtaining 10,000 less tons than
at present.
From January through May, distribution of sugar totalled 2,955,906
short tons compared with 2,747,543
last year, it was revealed.
Reflecting criticism that the impending sugar pinch has resulted
from loose allocations of the commodity in the face of over-optimism
over supplies, figures showed that as
of June 2 raw sugar stocks amounted to 275,746 short tons compared
with 442,234 last year, the beet in·

the city. Capt. Purvis reported to bead·
quarters the cart orders given by the
MaJor, by sending olr the delayed letter
to headquarters.

CHAPTER X
At each meal there were also
some idlers in the place, but they
just came in to listen to the noon
and six-thirty broadcasts from
Rome.
On the day that Mayor Nasta
came down from the hills. Major
Joppolo and Captain Purvis had just
finished their pasta and were talking about the stuffy Navy fellow,
Livingston, when they heard an unusual noise out in the street. There
were shouts of anger, and whistles.
But the noise outside grew, and
seemed to be coming up the street.
And soon several of the idlers who
had been listening to the radio in
the restaurant ran out. As the noise
grew still louder the two women
picked up handfuls of fruit and ran
out, pursued by their guests. Then
the owner of the place and his wife
and son ran out with their mouths
full of pasta and eggplant.
Finally Major J oppolo said:
"Le t's go see what it is. " So he
and Captain Purvis ran out too,
w1th their napkins in their hands.
This is what they saw:
Up the center of the street a forlorn looking man walked. He was
very short, and rather heavy-set.
His clothes were dirty and torn. His
shoes were covered with dust. His
face was very sad, and he walked
slowly, hanging his head . There
was only one proud touch to his whole
figure, and that was a pair of pincenez spectacles balanced on his big
nose.
Behind the man, keeping a safe
distance as if there still might be
some dynamite in him, a large
crowd walked, shouting and whistling its derision. The derision was
ten times louder than it would other~ise have been because this was
the first time the people of Adana
had ever been able to express their
feelings toward this man. Even behll1d their own closed doors they
had held their tongues about Mayor
Nasta in the past, because he
seemed to have ears in every house,
and his eyes peeked in every window, and his punishments were
sadistic.
But now they shouted what they
thought.
"Fascist Pig," they shouted. This
was what they shouted most.
But they also shouted: "The murderer always goes back to the scene
of his crime!"
They also shouted: "Where is
Mayor Nasta's whip now?"
Curiously the two women shouted, and there was a kind of pride in
the way they shouted.
There was a priest in the crowd,
and he shouted: "Blasphemer!"
There were some children in the
crowd, and they ran along shouting: "Pig! Pig! Pig!"
The anger of the mob bordered
on violence. When the unhappy
Mayor got opposite the Albergo dei
Pescatori one of the women raised
her arm and threw a plum at him.
It missed him and splashed in the
street.
A boy of twelve threw a stone.
Then sever?) brickbats flew, and
the shouts of long repressed hatred
became shrieks of revenge.
Captain Purvis looked at Major
Joppolo and Major Joppolo said:
"We've got to put a stop to this."
Captain Purvis was not a subtle
American, but he was a brave one.
He ran out in the street between
Mayor Nasta and the crowd. He
held up his hand and shouted:
"Stop! Stop," you ignorant fools."
The crowd kept coming. A stone
flew past Captain Purvis toward
Mayor Nasta.
Captain Purvis pulled his pistol
·out of his pocket. That was enough.
The ones in front held back the others, and the mob halted in the
street. Captain Purvis went back
'to the sidewalk.
Mayor Nasta, seeing that he was
saved, ran over to his deliverers,
and he stood in the gutter blubbering his thanks. "Americans! Oh,
my friends. Thank you for saving
me from these ungrateful people.
I have served them for years and
see how they behave. I am all
alone, Americans. I have been in
the hills all alone for days. No one
would stay with me. All the others
gave themselves up. I have thought
everything over. I wish to help you
if I can. . . . " And he rattled on,
his voice going higher and higher.
Someone in the mob shouted:
"Mister Major, if you help that man
·you are not our friend."
Major Joppolo acted quickly to
save the situation. He walked into
the street and held up his hand for
~ilence; he was careful to make it
his left hand, so that it would not
be mistaken for a Fascist salute.
"Go home, people. I will take
care of this man as he deserves. He
is under arrest."

And the Ma jor said quickly to
Captain Purvis in Englis h. "Arrest
him, Purvis, show this gang that
you're arresting him."
This was the kind of thing Captain Purvis enjoyed, and as he
clapped his hand h eavily on Mayor
Nasta's s houlder he shouted : "I
wish I under s tood Eyetalian. This
is wonderful."
The crowd broke up slowly, mumbling its protests at being deprived
of revenge.
Purvis said : "Who is this little
squirt, anyway? They sure hate
him, don't they?"
Major Joppolo said : "He's the
one who ut.ed to be Mavor."
"Oh, he is, is he? W~ll. according
to what Borth says, they've got plenty of reason to hate him." And the
Captain kicked Mayor Nasta in the
seat of the pants simply because
he didn't know the Italian for:
"You're a little squirt."
Mayor Nasta whimpered in Italian: "What are you going to do
with me? If you are going to kill
me, please tell me first.
Don't
shoot me from behind."
What Major Joppolo did with Mayor Nasta was to take him up to his
office. Everyone, even little Zito
who had once worked for Mayor
Nasta, even D' Arpa, the weasel-like
vice mayor who had once worked
with him, everyone made faces of
disgust when they saw Mayor Nasta, and some made obscene remarks
within his hearing.
When word passed around the Palazzo that Mayor Nasta was back,

Captain Purvis pulled his pistol
out of his pocket.
many people stuck their heads in
the door at the end of the Major's
office, which had once been the Mayor's office, to have a look at him in
his disheveled condition, and to
laugh at him to his face.
Major Joppolo said to Zito and
Giuseppe: "I want to have a talk
with Mayor Nasta alone. Go and
tell the people in the other offices
that I do not want to be disturbed,
not even by a cracking open of that
door. I do not even want to be disturbed by the brushing of ears on
the keyhole."
"Yes, Mister Major," Zito said.
"No, Miste r Major," Giuseppe
said.
Major Joppolo sat at the desk and
said brusquely: "Sit down."
Mayor Nasta sat in one of the
chairs in front of the desk.
"Well, what is it that you wish?"
Major Joppolo said.
Mayor Nasta brushed his hand
along the wood of the desk pathetically, and he said: "It seems
strange to be sitting on the wrong
side of this desk."
Major J oppolo said: "It may seem
stranger to sit on the wrong side of
the bars of your municipal jail. What
do you want?"
Mayor Nasta rearranged the
pince-nez on his nose, but he did not
look Major Joppolo in the eye as he
said: "I just want a chance, Mister
Major."
"You want a chance!" Major Joppolo spoke angrily. "To whom did
you ever give a chance?"
"I have thought it over," Mayor
Nasta said. "I have been all alone
for days. It was awful at night. I
have thought it over, Mister Major.
I want to help if I can."
"How many years were you in
office?"
"Nine, Mister Major."
"After nine years in office, you
have thought it all over, have you?
After nine years of graft and stealing and keeping these people down,
you've thought it over, you want to
help, do you?"
"You have other Fascists in office
here. I saw the face of D' Arpa a
minute ago. I saw Tagliavia who
was my Maresciallo of Finance. I
saw Gargano of the Carabinieri. If
you could use these, why not Nasta, the Mayor?"
"I have a new Mayor, and a bet1 ter one."

..

This hurt. "Who is this Mayor?"
"Bellanca the NOtario, an honest
man, much more honest than the
former Mayor."
And the former Mayor said: "Yes,
Bellanca is honest. But surely you
have something for Nasta to do? I
would accept something less than
Mayor." Nasta rubbed the wood of
the desk wistfully . "There is not
much left of the old Na sta," he said.
"I would accept something less than
Mayor."
Major Joppolo's eyes grew angry. He stood up abruptly. "Oh,
you would, would you? Yes, I have
something for you to do. You are
to report every morning to Sergeant Borth of the American Army.
You will find him in the Fascia:
That is all you have to do each
day. But see that you do it, Nasta, or you will be put in jail."
"You mean that Nasta has become a common probationer?"
"Oh, so Nasta is familiar with the
practice of putting people on probation? That is very genteel of you,
Nasta. I thought all your punishments were more ingenious than
that."
"Please be generous with me,"
Nasta said. "Please give me some
work to do."
"Generous? Nasta, what do you
expect? For the crimes you have
committed against the people of
Adana, you deserve to be shot outright, without a trial. You certainly never would give a fair trial, unless it brought you some kind of
profit. I am being more than generous. I am putting you on probation. See that you behave, vou Fascist."
Mayor Nasta was obsequious now.
"Yes, Miste r Major," he said .
"What did you say was the name
of the American office r to whom I
must report?"
"His name is Borth, and he is
not an officer. He is a sergeant.
You are not worth an officer, Nasta."
"Yes, Mister Major."
This is how it happened that Mayor Nasta reported once every morn·
lng to Sergeant Borth at the Fascia. Because four or five people
followed the Mayor everywhere he
went out of curiosity and hatred,
there was a small audience on hand
the next morning when he reported
to Sergeant Borth for the first time.
The audience enjoyed what it saw
and heard, for this kind of situation
was meat for Sergeant Borth, who
thought the whole war was a joke.
The tattered Nasta stepped into
one of the M.P. offices, rearranged
his pince-nez, and said: "Where will
I find the Sergeant Borth?"
"I am Borth."
"I am Nasta."
"Oho," roared Sergeant Borth. He
stood up, rubbing his hands. "So
you are the Mayor. I understand
that you have come to Adano to repent your sins. Is that right, noble
Mayor?"
"I was told that I was to report
here each morning. I was to report, riot be humiliated, Sergeant."
"You will call me Mister Sergeant."
Mayor Nasta snorted, from his
long habit of snorting.
Borth said sharply: "Listen, N asta, I know more about you than you
know about yourself. You be careful how you behave here . Now, answer my questions civilly. Is it correct that you came to Adana to
repent your sins?"
Mayor Nasta was white with anger, but he said: "I suppose you
might say so."
"Thank you," Borth said with exaggerated politeness. "In that case
you will repent one sin each morning when you report to Sergeant
Borth. Would you like to choose
your own sins, or would you like
Sergeant Borth to choose them for
you?"
Mayor Nasta couldn't keep himsel.i' from snorting.
"I see," said Borth, with his overpoliteness, "you would like Borth to
choose. Very well, let's see. This
morning we will discuss the sin of
your disgraceful running away from
your post in the face of the American invasion. What is this"sin called,
Mayor Nasta?"
"What do you mean, what is it
called?"
"You are at a loss for words?
Very well, Borth will answer his
own question. It is called the sin
of cowardice."
Mayor Nasta snorted.
"No matter what side you were
on, no matter if you were on the
side of the crooks, it was a sin to
run away, was it not, Mayor?"
Mayor Nasta rearranged his
pince-nez with a trembling hand.
"Answer my question: did you or
did you not give rifles to the Carabinieri and grenades to the Finance
Guards, make them a beautiful
speech about fighting to the last
man, and then run to the hills?"
Mayor Nasta said with a trembling voice: "You tell me, clever
Sergeant."
Sergeant Borth shouted: "Answer
me, probationer."
Mayor Nasta said quietly: "I did,
Sergeant."
"Mister Sergeant!"
"I did, Mister Sergeant."
"Are you sorry for this disgraceful sin, Nasta?"
Mayor Nasta could hear the people snickering behind him.
He said meekly: "I am, Mister
Sergeant."

WORLD-WIDE audience and
hence a world-wide influence is
claimed for the product of the Hollywood studios. There is ample external evidence that this claim is
not exaggerated. Indeed, it's only
in the last few years that the public
has become even dimly aware of
how far-reaching the screen's influence really is.
And of course we of the industry
itself are the last to learn these
things. We can't see the forest for
the trees.
Well, there are a few fundamentals that we can't get away from in
evaluating the state of the world,
present and future.
One of them is that if we're going
to go on having wars all of us are
going to suffer no matter who wins
the victories.
Have you ever stopped to reflect
that back in 1917 and 1918, when
our country en1ered upon its first
exalted crusade to make the world
safe for dem?cracy, nearly a~l of t~e
present_ leadmg stars of motion p1ctures etther were not born or were
pret~y young? There are some exceptwns, of course.

Covering the Globe
Today they are serving the flag on
all the far-flung fronts where duty
has called them. They are flying
airplanes, burrowing into foxholes,
helping to man carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines. They're accomplishing dangerous missions with cameras, waging the deadly war of propaganda in
which our American ideas and
ideals are the high explosives.
Where are their children going to
be 25 years from today?
Our statesmanship of today is
America's legacy to its young men
and women of tomorrow. Where is
it going to lead us?
You might be surprised to realize
how many toddlers cooing and gurgling in Hollywood nurseries today
have a life and death stake in the
answer to those questions.

Bumper Crop
Surprised? When I compiled a list
of Hollywood babies born in 1944 and
1945 I was astonished.
I'm not drawing any distinction
where babies are concerned, but
one can't name them all. This war
has taught us that we are really and
genuinely a democracy; that our
army, navy, and marine corps represent the people and are in very
truth the people.
So, from the ranks of our professional artists, here goes:
Alice Faye Harris and her husband, Phil, have two baby girls.
Same for Betty Grable and Harry
James. Orchestra leaders both, the
fathers, ~nd ~amous, too. Glamour
boys. So s D1ck Haymes a glamour
boy.
He and Joanne Marshall
Haymes greeted a new baby last
summer.

Girla and More Giru
My! Look at the baby girls in my
list! Here's Ann Sothern with another; the father, Lt. Robert Sterling. Ken Murray comes along with
a boy. Good for you, Ken. Martha
Raye and Nick Condos had a .. girl.
So did Jean Rogers and Danny Winkler.
And what's this? Nancy Coleman
delighted Whitney Bolton's masculine pride by presenting him with
twin girls. .
Veloz and Yolanda produced a son.
Benita Burne and Ronald Colman
countered with a daughter.
Here's Ruth Hussey and Lt. Bob
Longnecker adding to the female
population; also the Eddie Brackens,
Donna King and Lt. James Conklin,
the Bob Crosbys and the Gregory
Pecks relieved the monotony-their
babies are boys.
· And so we come into 1945. Rita
Hayworth and Orson Welles were
the first big time Hollywood mamma
and papa of the year, and theirs is
a girl. E-leanor Powell and Glenn
Ford countered with a boy. Maureen O'Sullivan and John Farrow
promptly announced a feminine addition to their growing family, but
Susan Hayward hit the jackpot with
twin boys. Jess Barker's the father.
The Jack Carsons added a baby
daughter.

Looking Into the Future
What a responsibility rests upon
these young Hollywood fathers and
mothers of little ones brought into
this disturbed world!
We hear on all sides that what the
world needs and is crying aloud for
is leaders. Leadership. That, I
think, no one will deny.
Fathers and mothers of this day,
if you don't want to go through a repetition of broken hearts, sorrow,
maimed bodies, wrecked minds and
nerves a generation from now, better be looking alive right nowl

And 'Twas Ever Thus
I asked Gene Fowler how he was
coming along with "Goodnight,
Sweet Prince." He said, "We're at
a complete standstill. I may have
to sell the thing after all. Isn't it
funny? It's like a man standing on
a street corner selling $5 gold pieces
for a buck and nobody will buy. I've
had fabulous offers for it, but nobody is willing to take it free." He
wants all the profits to go to the motion picture relief home. . . . Lana

Served Country 64 Years
Few Americans have served
their country as long as EJward
A. Savoy, who was the messenger
of 21 different United States secretaries of state between 1869 and
1933, says Collier's.
During these 64 years, this
Negro performed many delicate
tasks, which included the handing
of their credentials to two foreign
diplomats who were asked to leave
this country-the Spanish minister
in 1898 and the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador in 1915.

The huge number of new home canners who sail through with

ripe. They should be canned
the day they are gathered but if
kept cool they may stand ~s much
as 24 hours before processing. This
is mentioned because some person.
must depend upon a market for their
supply. Any tomato containing a decayed spot, no matter how small,
should be discarded. Canning those
from which such spots have been
removed leads to spoilage. Sound
over-ripe ones and those from which
small spots have been cut may be
made into chili sauce or ketchupnever, never into juice. Juice requires sound tomatoes.
The jars, caps, rubbers, and canner sl&gt;ould be ready before one
prepares ~he tomatoes. Every tomato should be carefully washed before
it is scalded for skinning. If you
have no wire basket, a square of
cheese cloth will serve the purpose
of holding tomatoes for scalding.
Simply put enough tomatoes for filling one or two jars on the cloth,
catch up the four ends of the square,
and hold the "bag" in boiling water
from one-half to one minute. Then,
if you like, dip the · bag in cold
water, making it &lt;l little easier to
.:emove the skins. Next use a sharp
pointed knife to remove every bit
of the core, slip the skins, cut away
any green or white spots and drop
the tomato into a clean hot jar.
Cut tomatoes if they won't go in
whole. After two or three tomatoes
are in the j·ar, press them with. a
clean wooden spoon (one which has
been boiled) until tliey crack and
the juice runs out to fill the spaces
between the fruit. Yes, '~fruit" is
ri(!ht. We call them vegetables becau&amp;.! they grow in gardens. When
the jar has be~n filled to within
about one inch of the top, add salt

Color Effects
Dr. Abraham L. Graubart, pastpresident of the Columbia university
• school of optometry, said that in hi.s
investigations he found that two special tints, a light buff and a light
gray used in combination, made an
immediate difference in safety and
productivity. Successful experiments
were made in painting machinery
with ]jght green, yellow, aluminum,
light blue and buff color, all of
which gave more brilliancy than the
old gray, black and green paints.
Painting walls a solid color from
floor to ceiling is hard on the eyes,'
according to Dr. Graubart. Investigations have shown that painting
walls two different colors is easier
on the eyes. Best results .\vere obtained by painting a dado about 4
feet high a darker color than the
remainder of the wall from the dado
to the ceiling. The painting of floors
whether they be wood or concrete is
keenly apprcciatQd, A concrete floor
painted a medium gray will reflect
35 per cent of light while the same
floor unpainted will reflect about 5
per cent.

Economic Security

Back in 1865 senators and representatives in the Congress of the
Uni tl d States began drawing $5,000
a year; $100 a week. That was good
pay 80 years ago but a first-class
welder can do better now. Congressmen have had two raises in salary
since then. The last one was 20
years ago when they started earning $10,000 a year which was, at the
time, a comfortable living for them.

wait 20 years for a raise.
Dangerous Bureaucracy
The important thing is that every
workman who quits a job in private industry to enter government
employ gets his wage scale frozen.
The change of work may bring more
pay but that's temporary. Whoever
works at that job a generation from
now will probably be earning the
same amount and spending a lot
more to live. Remember that the

These facts are understood well by
men of industry and leaders in labor
movements. It is encouraging to
observe how the Labor-Management
Charter, signed in Washington last
March by labor union executives andJ
prominent men of business, deals
with the subject. In brief it states:
Private enterprise is the necessary
foundation for the welfare of labor
as well as management.

Conservation Crop
Scientists have developed a variety of sorghum that yields neither
grain nor fodder. The "no yield"
sorghum was bred for an erosioncontrol crop. When planted for this
purpose, it is best to leave all growth
on the land. Stalks of the new variety make good growth, but are too'
hard and dry for forage and contain
no sweetness. The seed also is too
small to make it worth harvestin&amp;
for grain. The brushy beads are
unsuitable for making brooms. So,
say the plant breeders, the "no
yield" sorghum is well suited for use
in erosion control. Its characteristics remove any temptation the
grower might have to harvest the
crops for other purposes;.

Floating Drydoeks Change
Concept of Sea Warfare
Enough electric equipment to fur.
nish a good-sized factory plus a
,small hotel is installed on each tloat.ing drydock the navy is using to
1make emergency repairs of warships far from their most advanced
!permanent bases.
These floating factories, recently
revealed to be in action, are changing the concept of naval warfare
by enabling strategists to plan oceangoing operations without dependence
on the availability of fixed bases.
Whereas the old static concept of
sea strategy required ships to operate within an approximate range
of 2,000 miles from a permanent repair base, floating drydocks make i1
possible to establish bases as they
are needed and as near the fighting
zone as desired.
In operation these mobile drydocks prepare a warship for repair
:by literally lifting the damaged ves:sel out of the water, thus giving
•workmen access to any part of the
!hull or deck, the same as if the
lship were being overhauled on land.
!This is achieved by admitting water
to sealed compartments so that the
1drydock submerges.
When this is
. accomplished, the damaged vessel
!is floated over the dock or the dock
'is submerg~d under the vessel. Thc:1
water is pumped out of the compartments, and the drydock, with the
ship under repair now nestling on
it in a rack, ar.ises to the surface.
,In this position, the damaged ship
lis completely out of the water, with
t:ts hull exposed, and examination or
~epair is made possible.

New Compass Helps
Pilots Hold Course

Have you ever been misled in the
woods because you read your pocket
compass when it was too near your
ax or rifle? If so, you can understand why heavy metallic armor
around fighter-plane cockpits made
fit necessary to adopt a kind of com·, pass that could be located in a wing
tip, or the tall; but read in the cockpit. Such a remote-indicating comlpass is now being manufactured.
Such compasses offer other advantages in that one compass unit may
have several remote indicating detajls so the navigator or other memers ot the crew on large planes
an have the same information as
he pilot.
Permanent magnets in the compass unit, placed in a wing tip or
the tail of the plane far from the
plane's disturbing magnetic effects,
line themselves up with the earth's
magnetic field. These magnets affect the electrical voltages in a wire
coil so that corresponding coils in
the one or more indicators in the
cockpit move pointers over a dial in
~ exactly the same directions as the
,compass.

Port Grew
Settled by the Phoenicians several centuries before the beginning of
the Christia~ era, Genoa was first
confined to the narrow level shore
that forms a semicircle about its
harbor.
In the 20-odd centuries
f'ince that time, it has grown steadily up the steep slopes of the Ligurian hills forming a vast amphitheater with the harbor a fitting
stage for a city that lives by the
sea. Some distance up the slope lie
several curving streets that were
faced with substantial palaces which
indicated the *wealth and power of
Genoa in its heyday in the 16th and
17th centuries. Farther up were
1the apartment houses of later cen,turies and b ~::yond them the villas
of modern times.

Lumber Research

Although our forests represent
reat national value, research in for~~t products has ne:ver kept pace
fW1th research done m other indusltrial fields. According to Barron's
~he national financial weekly, fo;
January 9, 1939, United States industry spent $250,000,000 for research
in the year 1938. This represented
approximately eight-tenths of 1 per
cent of the value of the manufactured products. For the same period, the value of forest products was
about $3,000,000,000. Eight-tenths of
1 per cent of that figure would indicate that $24,000,000 should be speflt
annually on wood products research
if the forest industry had a research
program comparable to that of other industries.

Frosty Thirst-Quenchers Are Party Fare
(See Recipes Below)

Light Refreshments
Looking for an easy way to return
your social obligations? This is the
season for it, because entertaining can be cool,
simple and still
lovely.
All fqod can be
point easy and
fun to fix because
it does not require standing over a hot stove to
have it ready. For the simpler type
of party, rely heavily on cooling
thirst quenchers with perhaps a few
cookies or small cakes arranged attractively on a platter. If the party
takes the place of dinner, you might
have several substantial salads. Try
serving on the lawn or garden, buffet style, and save strain on housekeeping.
You will want to suggest coolness
in your table settings. Blues and
greens are very comfortable and
you can relieve the monotony by
having flowers in whites, pink or
y&lt;&gt;llow, whichever goes best with
what you have.
I've picked out some especially
good beverages for this season.
Don't use your supplies of canning
sugar for such things as this. If you
can manage to purchase ice cream
and sherbet for the drinks, do so
and save the sugar where it's most
needed.
Orange Cream.
(Serves 6)
4 egg yolks
4~ cups orange juice
1~ cups cream or rich milk
Sugar, if desired
Beat egg yolkli until light, add orange juice and blend thoroughly.
Pour into glasses and stir in cream.
Sweeten to taste, if sugar is needed. Serve at once.
Party Punch.
(Serves 8 to 10)
1 cup freshly made tea
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sliced, sweetened strawberries
~ cup lemon juice
1 pint carbonated water
Pour hot tea over sugar, add water. Cool. Add orange and lemon
juice and strawberries. Just before serving, add carbonated water.
If served in punch bowl, add thin
slices of orange.
Orange Punch.
(Serves 6 to 8)
1 pint orange ice
4 pints dry ginger ale
Crushed ice
Maraschino
cherries
Beat orange ice
'B.nd ginger ale
together. Serve in
glasses
with
crushed ice and
cherries.
Fruit Lemonade.
(Serves 6 to 8)
1~ cups light corn syrup
(Serves 6)
J_{J cup water
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 oranges
~3 cup pineapple juice
4 tablespoons cracked ice
Lynn Says
Easy Sips: Next time you have
iced tea, flavor with honey instead of sugar and serve with
lemon and orange wedges. It's
delightful.
If you have leftover fruit juices,
coffee or tea, make ice cubes with
them. Then frosty drinks will not
have that watery flavor. Bits of
fruit, berries or mint sprigs may
also be frozen in ice cubes to
make them attractive.
For a good afternoon pickup,
try chilled tomato juice with ginger ale or, use apricot nectar
with a dash of lemon juice.
Iced coffee takes on a party
touch when topped with meringue
and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Lynn Chambers' Refreshment
Suggestion

4 cherries
Few slices of banana
1~ cups ginger ale
Boil together syrup and water for
2 minutes. Set aside and cool. Pour
one-half cup of
the cooled syrup
into shaker or
large jar, add
fruit juices and
ice and shake.
Fill glasses about
half full of the
mixture and complete with ginger
ale, remaining syrup, slivered cherries and banana.
Cookies to go with the cool drinks
should be tasty but sugar-saving.
You'll like both of these suggestions:
Fudgies,
(Makes 4 dozen 2-inch cookies)
~ cup shortening
Y2 cup sugar
Y2 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 squares chocolate
2 cups flour
Y2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon saJt
Y2 cup buttermilk or sour miJk
o/i cup nuts
Cream together sugar and shortening. Add syrup gradually, beating after each addition. Blend in
vanilla. Add egg and beat until
light. Add melted chocolate. Sift
together all dry ingredients, then
add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating until
smooth after each addition. Blend
in nuts.
Drop by spoonfuls on
greased baking sheet. Bake in a
moderate, (350-degree) oven. (Onehalf cup cocoa may be used in place
of chocolate. Sift with flour, soda
and salt.)
Almond Jam Bars.
(Makes 2% dozen mediumsized bars)
¥2 cup shortening
¥! teaspoon almond extract
¥2 teaspoon vanilla
¥:! cup corn syrup or honey
1 Y2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/z teaspoon salt
¥2 teaspoon cinnamon
~ teaspoon cloves
1 egg
% cup jam
Mix together shortening and extracts. Add syrup, mixing well. Sift
together flour, baking powder, salt,
cinnamon and cloves. Add to shortening and mix until crumbly. Beat
in egg, mixing well. Spread half of
batter on greased, shallow pan.
Spread jam over batter. Cover jam.
with remaining batter. Bake in a
moderately hot (400-degree) oven 2530 minutes. Cut in bars.
Here's a light layer cake that's
lovely for more elaborate parties.
Spread marshmallow filling in between and on top, then sprinkle with
shaved nuts and candied cherries:
Swedish Layer Cake.
5 whites of eggs
¥2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
cup cocoa
¥:: cup flour
¥2 teaspoon vanilla
Beat eggs until foamy, add cream
of tartar, sugar and cocoa and beat
well very stiff. Add vanilla, fold in
sifted flour and place in 2 shallow,
buttered pans. Bake in a moderate
(350-degree) oven about 20 minutes.
A good cookie type of sweet for
summertime is this one that is
sugar-saving, too. Melt about 2lh
cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
in the top part of a double boiler
and then mix in 3lh cups wheat
flakes. Drop by spoonfuls onto
waxed paper and allow to cool. Or,
spread in a greased, shallow pan
and cut into squares.

From a

for every $3 you store away now.
P. S. Just to bring you out of
that postwar dream, take another look at the headlines
There's still a war on. You and
your money are needed to beat
the Japs. The bonds you buy tod.ay are WAR bonds. There'll be
hme 10 years hence for you to

Fdrm Prices
Passed by the senate as part of
a bill extending OPA for one year,
a provision requiring that farm producers be granted cost plus profit
headed for rough treatment in the
house, with Pres. Harry S. Truman
joining to oppose the amendment.
Drawn by Senators Wherry (Neb.)
and Shipstead (Neb.) and adopted
by a 37 to 30 vote, the cost-plus provision stipulates that "it shan be
unlawful to establish or maintain
against the producers of any livestock, grain or other agricultural
commodity a maximum price . • .
which does not equal all costs and
expenses {including all overhead
expenses, a return on capital and
an allowance for the labor of the
producer and family) . . . plus a
reasonable profit thereon."
While President Truman described the provision as bad and
hoped the house would knoclc it
out, other critics declared that it
would create confusion by replacing
the present parity formula, scaling
farm prices according to general
costs. Countering this argument,
Senator Wherry said the provision
would apply if parity prices failed
to meet expenses.

For the first time since Nazis came to power, the Roman Catholic feast
day of Corpus Christi was observed In Munich, witb procession wending
way through bomb-battered city. Outspoken foe of Hitler's regime, Michael
Cardinal Faulhaber officiated at ceremony.

PACIFIC:
New Campaign
Under heavy attack in the northern portion of their empire, the
Japs face equally heavy pressure
in the south, with Allied forces under command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur moving into northern Borneo
in a drive to conquer the island that
easily could be the prelude to
a campaign against the Indies and
Malaya.
Rich in oil and rubber and possessing good ports and airfields for
a thrust to the west, Borneo was
overrrun by the Japs early in 1942
while the Allied cause in the Pacific
still
remained paralyzed after
Pearl Harbor. With Jap shipping
coming under increasing U. S. air
and sea pressure, Borneo's value to
the enemy has been sharply reduced, and Allied invasion forces
met only meager opposition as they
moved inland in the mountainous country.
Though only lightly defending the
comparj'ltively communicable coastal regions, the Japs did fire the extensive oil installations located
there in an effort to prevent their
use by the Allies for future operations. Flames from the storage
tanks and wells could be seen for
40 miles.

'

VETS CARE:
Le.~ion, V_F_W. Critical
Stung by the American Legion and
V.F.W.'s ringing denunciation of
the veterans administration bureau,
congress moved to look into the
whole question and give ear to the
comprehensive program outlined by
both service organizations for efficient functioning of the department.
With a spokesmar:. declaring that
the bureau may eventually have to
handle the cases of 18,000.000 G .I.s,
the American Legion suggested the
creation of a deputy administrator
under Gen. Omar Bradley and a
realignment of authority under six
assistants to handle medical care,
insurance, finance, Joan guarantees,
readjustment allowances, vocational
training, rehabilitation and education, adjustment of compensation,
pension and retirement claims, construction, supplies and contracts.
Though criticizing the overall operations of the bureau, the American Legion and V.F.W. particularly
rapped vet hospital care, charging
that 47 per cent of the institutions
now give inadequate treatment and
citing instances of abuse in some
centers. To relieve conditions, the
organizations proposed increasing
bed capacity; boosting wages; allowing authorities more leeway in securing help and supplies; more intelligent segregation of patients to speed
recovery, and replacing army with
civilian personnel.

Three relations were Harry Hopkins
and Joseph E. Davies, President
Truman's special emissaries to
Moscow and London. Following receipt of reports from them upon
their return to the U. S., the chief
executive expressed confidence in a
settlement of the Polish question,
declaring the Russians were as anxious to get along with us as we
are with them.
The late President Roosevelt's

to have played an especially key

Polish situation but also persuaded
the Russians to surrender their demands for vetoing the right of aggrieved nations to air their complaints before the postwar peace
organization.

at present.
From January through May, distribution of sugar totalled 2,955,906
short tons compared with 2,747,543
last year, it was revealed.
Reflecting criticism that the impending sugar pinch has resulted
from loose allocations of the commodity in the face of over-optimism
over supplies, figures showed that as
of June 2 raw sugar stocks amounted to 275,746 short tons compared
with 442,234 last year, the beet in·

the city. Capt. Purvis reported to bead·
quarters the cart orders given by the
MaJor, by sending olr the delayed letter
to headquarters.

CHAPTER X
At each meal there were also
some idlers in the place, but they
just came in to listen to the noon
and six-thirty broadcasts from
Rome.
On the day that Mayor Nasta
came down from the hills. Major
Joppolo and Captain Purvis had just
finished their pasta and were talking about the stuffy Navy fellow,
Livingston, when they heard an unusual noise out in the street. There
were shouts of anger, and whistles.
But the noise outside grew, and
seemed to be coming up the street.
And soon several of the idlers who
had been listening to the radio in
the restaurant ran out. As the noise
grew still louder the two women
picked up handfuls of fruit and ran
out, pursued by their guests. Then
the owner of the place and his wife
and son ran out with their mouths
full of pasta and eggplant.
Finally Major J oppolo said:
"Le t's go see what it is. " So he
and Captain Purvis ran out too,
w1th their napkins in their hands.
This is what they saw:
Up the center of the street a forlorn looking man walked. He was
very short, and rather heavy-set.
His clothes were dirty and torn. His
shoes were covered with dust. His
face was very sad, and he walked
slowly, hanging his head . There
was only one proud touch to his whole
figure, and that was a pair of pincenez spectacles balanced on his big
nose.
Behind the man, keeping a safe
distance as if there still might be
some dynamite in him, a large
crowd walked, shouting and whistling its derision. The derision was
ten times louder than it would other~ise have been because this was
the first time the people of Adana
had ever been able to express their
feelings toward this man. Even behll1d their own closed doors they
had held their tongues about Mayor
Nasta in the past, because he
seemed to have ears in every house,
and his eyes peeked in every window, and his punishments were
sadistic.
But now they shouted what they
thought.
"Fascist Pig," they shouted. This
was what they shouted most.
But they also shouted: "The murderer always goes back to the scene
of his crime!"
They also shouted: "Where is
Mayor Nasta's whip now?"
Curiously the two women shouted, and there was a kind of pride in
the way they shouted.
There was a priest in the crowd,
and he shouted: "Blasphemer!"
There were some children in the
crowd, and they ran along shouting: "Pig! Pig! Pig!"
The anger of the mob bordered
on violence. When the unhappy
Mayor got opposite the Albergo dei
Pescatori one of the women raised
her arm and threw a plum at him.
It missed him and splashed in the
street.
A boy of twelve threw a stone.
Then sever?) brickbats flew, and
the shouts of long repressed hatred
became shrieks of revenge.
Captain Purvis looked at Major
Joppolo and Major Joppolo said:
"We've got to put a stop to this."
Captain Purvis was not a subtle
American, but he was a brave one.
He ran out in the street between
Mayor Nasta and the crowd. He
held up his hand and shouted:
"Stop! Stop," you ignorant fools."
The crowd kept coming. A stone
flew past Captain Purvis toward
Mayor Nasta.
Captain Purvis pulled his pistol
·out of his pocket. That was enough.
The ones in front held back the others, and the mob halted in the
street. Captain Purvis went back
'to the sidewalk.
Mayor Nasta, seeing that he was
saved, ran over to his deliverers,
and he stood in the gutter blubbering his thanks. "Americans! Oh,
my friends. Thank you for saving
me from these ungrateful people.
I have served them for years and
see how they behave. I am all
alone, Americans. I have been in
the hills all alone for days. No one
would stay with me. All the others
gave themselves up. I have thought
everything over. I wish to help you
if I can. . . . " And he rattled on,
his voice going higher and higher.
Someone in the mob shouted:
"Mister Major, if you help that man
·you are not our friend."
Major Joppolo acted quickly to
save the situation. He walked into
the street and held up his hand for
~ilence; he was careful to make it
his left hand, so that it would not
be mistaken for a Fascist salute.
"Go home, people. I will take
care of this man as he deserves. He
is under arrest."

And the Ma jor said quickly to
Captain Purvis in Englis h. "Arrest
him, Purvis, show this gang that
you're arresting him."
This was the kind of thing Captain Purvis enjoyed, and as he
clapped his hand h eavily on Mayor
Nasta's s houlder he shouted : "I
wish I under s tood Eyetalian. This
is wonderful."
The crowd broke up slowly, mumbling its protests at being deprived
of revenge.
Purvis said : "Who is this little
squirt, anyway? They sure hate
him, don't they?"
Major Joppolo said : "He's the
one who ut.ed to be Mavor."
"Oh, he is, is he? W~ll. according
to what Borth says, they've got plenty of reason to hate him." And the
Captain kicked Mayor Nasta in the
seat of the pants simply because
he didn't know the Italian for:
"You're a little squirt."
Mayor Nasta whimpered in Italian: "What are you going to do
with me? If you are going to kill
me, please tell me first.
Don't
shoot me from behind."
What Major Joppolo did with Mayor Nasta was to take him up to his
office. Everyone, even little Zito
who had once worked for Mayor
Nasta, even D' Arpa, the weasel-like
vice mayor who had once worked
with him, everyone made faces of
disgust when they saw Mayor Nasta, and some made obscene remarks
within his hearing.
When word passed around the Palazzo that Mayor Nasta was back,

Captain Purvis pulled his pistol
out of his pocket.
many people stuck their heads in
the door at the end of the Major's
office, which had once been the Mayor's office, to have a look at him in
his disheveled condition, and to
laugh at him to his face.
Major Joppolo said to Zito and
Giuseppe: "I want to have a talk
with Mayor Nasta alone. Go and
tell the people in the other offices
that I do not want to be disturbed,
not even by a cracking open of that
door. I do not even want to be disturbed by the brushing of ears on
the keyhole."
"Yes, Mister Major," Zito said.
"No, Miste r Major," Giuseppe
said.
Major Joppolo sat at the desk and
said brusquely: "Sit down."
Mayor Nasta sat in one of the
chairs in front of the desk.
"Well, what is it that you wish?"
Major Joppolo said.
Mayor Nasta brushed his hand
along the wood of the desk pathetically, and he said: "It seems
strange to be sitting on the wrong
side of this desk."
Major J oppolo said: "It may seem
stranger to sit on the wrong side of
the bars of your municipal jail. What
do you want?"
Mayor Nasta rearranged the
pince-nez on his nose, but he did not
look Major Joppolo in the eye as he
said: "I just want a chance, Mister
Major."
"You want a chance!" Major Joppolo spoke angrily. "To whom did
you ever give a chance?"
"I have thought it over," Mayor
Nasta said. "I have been all alone
for days. It was awful at night. I
have thought it over, Mister Major.
I want to help if I can."
"How many years were you in
office?"
"Nine, Mister Major."
"After nine years in office, you
have thought it all over, have you?
After nine years of graft and stealing and keeping these people down,
you've thought it over, you want to
help, do you?"
"You have other Fascists in office
here. I saw the face of D' Arpa a
minute ago. I saw Tagliavia who
was my Maresciallo of Finance. I
saw Gargano of the Carabinieri. If
you could use these, why not Nasta, the Mayor?"
"I have a new Mayor, and a bet1 ter one."

..

This hurt. "Who is this Mayor?"
"Bellanca the NOtario, an honest
man, much more honest than the
former Mayor."
And the former Mayor said: "Yes,
Bellanca is honest. But surely you
have something for Nasta to do? I
would accept something less than
Mayor." Nasta rubbed the wood of
the desk wistfully . "There is not
much left of the old Na sta," he said.
"I would accept something less than
Mayor."
Major Joppolo's eyes grew angry. He stood up abruptly. "Oh,
you would, would you? Yes, I have
something for you to do. You are
to report every morning to Sergeant Borth of the American Army.
You will find him in the Fascia:
That is all you have to do each
day. But see that you do it, Nasta, or you will be put in jail."
"You mean that Nasta has become a common probationer?"
"Oh, so Nasta is familiar with the
practice of putting people on probation? That is very genteel of you,
Nasta. I thought all your punishments were more ingenious than
that."
"Please be generous with me,"
Nasta said. "Please give me some
work to do."
"Generous? Nasta, what do you
expect? For the crimes you have
committed against the people of
Adana, you deserve to be shot outright, without a trial. You certainly never would give a fair trial, unless it brought you some kind of
profit. I am being more than generous. I am putting you on probation. See that you behave, vou Fascist."
Mayor Nasta was obsequious now.
"Yes, Miste r Major," he said .
"What did you say was the name
of the American office r to whom I
must report?"
"His name is Borth, and he is
not an officer. He is a sergeant.
You are not worth an officer, Nasta."
"Yes, Mister Major."
This is how it happened that Mayor Nasta reported once every morn·
lng to Sergeant Borth at the Fascia. Because four or five people
followed the Mayor everywhere he
went out of curiosity and hatred,
there was a small audience on hand
the next morning when he reported
to Sergeant Borth for the first time.
The audience enjoyed what it saw
and heard, for this kind of situation
was meat for Sergeant Borth, who
thought the whole war was a joke.
The tattered Nasta stepped into
one of the M.P. offices, rearranged
his pince-nez, and said: "Where will
I find the Sergeant Borth?"
"I am Borth."
"I am Nasta."
"Oho," roared Sergeant Borth. He
stood up, rubbing his hands. "So
you are the Mayor. I understand
that you have come to Adano to repent your sins. Is that right, noble
Mayor?"
"I was told that I was to report
here each morning. I was to report, riot be humiliated, Sergeant."
"You will call me Mister Sergeant."
Mayor Nasta snorted, from his
long habit of snorting.
Borth said sharply: "Listen, N asta, I know more about you than you
know about yourself. You be careful how you behave here . Now, answer my questions civilly. Is it correct that you came to Adana to
repent your sins?"
Mayor Nasta was white with anger, but he said: "I suppose you
might say so."
"Thank you," Borth said with exaggerated politeness. "In that case
you will repent one sin each morning when you report to Sergeant
Borth. Would you like to choose
your own sins, or would you like
Sergeant Borth to choose them for
you?"
Mayor Nasta couldn't keep himsel.i' from snorting.
"I see," said Borth, with his overpoliteness, "you would like Borth to
choose. Very well, let's see. This
morning we will discuss the sin of
your disgraceful running away from
your post in the face of the American invasion. What is this"sin called,
Mayor Nasta?"
"What do you mean, what is it
called?"
"You are at a loss for words?
Very well, Borth will answer his
own question. It is called the sin
of cowardice."
Mayor Nasta snorted.
"No matter what side you were
on, no matter if you were on the
side of the crooks, it was a sin to
run away, was it not, Mayor?"
Mayor Nasta rearranged his
pince-nez with a trembling hand.
"Answer my question: did you or
did you not give rifles to the Carabinieri and grenades to the Finance
Guards, make them a beautiful
speech about fighting to the last
man, and then run to the hills?"
Mayor Nasta said with a trembling voice: "You tell me, clever
Sergeant."
Sergeant Borth shouted: "Answer
me, probationer."
Mayor Nasta said quietly: "I did,
Sergeant."
"Mister Sergeant!"
"I did, Mister Sergeant."
"Are you sorry for this disgraceful sin, Nasta?"
Mayor Nasta could hear the people snickering behind him.
He said meekly: "I am, Mister
Sergeant."

WORLD-WIDE audience and
hence a world-wide influence is
claimed for the product of the Hollywood studios. There is ample external evidence that this claim is
not exaggerated. Indeed, it's only
in the last few years that the public
has become even dimly aware of
how far-reaching the screen's influence really is.
And of course we of the industry
itself are the last to learn these
things. We can't see the forest for
the trees.
Well, there are a few fundamentals that we can't get away from in
evaluating the state of the world,
present and future.
One of them is that if we're going
to go on having wars all of us are
going to suffer no matter who wins
the victories.
Have you ever stopped to reflect
that back in 1917 and 1918, when
our country en1ered upon its first
exalted crusade to make the world
safe for dem?cracy, nearly a~l of t~e
present_ leadmg stars of motion p1ctures etther were not born or were
pret~y young? There are some exceptwns, of course.

Covering the Globe
Today they are serving the flag on
all the far-flung fronts where duty
has called them. They are flying
airplanes, burrowing into foxholes,
helping to man carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines. They're accomplishing dangerous missions with cameras, waging the deadly war of propaganda in
which our American ideas and
ideals are the high explosives.
Where are their children going to
be 25 years from today?
Our statesmanship of today is
America's legacy to its young men
and women of tomorrow. Where is
it going to lead us?
You might be surprised to realize
how many toddlers cooing and gurgling in Hollywood nurseries today
have a life and death stake in the
answer to those questions.

Bumper Crop
Surprised? When I compiled a list
of Hollywood babies born in 1944 and
1945 I was astonished.
I'm not drawing any distinction
where babies are concerned, but
one can't name them all. This war
has taught us that we are really and
genuinely a democracy; that our
army, navy, and marine corps represent the people and are in very
truth the people.
So, from the ranks of our professional artists, here goes:
Alice Faye Harris and her husband, Phil, have two baby girls.
Same for Betty Grable and Harry
James. Orchestra leaders both, the
fathers, ~nd ~amous, too. Glamour
boys. So s D1ck Haymes a glamour
boy.
He and Joanne Marshall
Haymes greeted a new baby last
summer.

Girla and More Giru
My! Look at the baby girls in my
list! Here's Ann Sothern with another; the father, Lt. Robert Sterling. Ken Murray comes along with
a boy. Good for you, Ken. Martha
Raye and Nick Condos had a .. girl.
So did Jean Rogers and Danny Winkler.
And what's this? Nancy Coleman
delighted Whitney Bolton's masculine pride by presenting him with
twin girls. .
Veloz and Yolanda produced a son.
Benita Burne and Ronald Colman
countered with a daughter.
Here's Ruth Hussey and Lt. Bob
Longnecker adding to the female
population; also the Eddie Brackens,
Donna King and Lt. James Conklin,
the Bob Crosbys and the Gregory
Pecks relieved the monotony-their
babies are boys.
· And so we come into 1945. Rita
Hayworth and Orson Welles were
the first big time Hollywood mamma
and papa of the year, and theirs is
a girl. E-leanor Powell and Glenn
Ford countered with a boy. Maureen O'Sullivan and John Farrow
promptly announced a feminine addition to their growing family, but
Susan Hayward hit the jackpot with
twin boys. Jess Barker's the father.
The Jack Carsons added a baby
daughter.

Looking Into the Future
What a responsibility rests upon
these young Hollywood fathers and
mothers of little ones brought into
this disturbed world!
We hear on all sides that what the
world needs and is crying aloud for
is leaders. Leadership. That, I
think, no one will deny.
Fathers and mothers of this day,
if you don't want to go through a repetition of broken hearts, sorrow,
maimed bodies, wrecked minds and
nerves a generation from now, better be looking alive right nowl

And 'Twas Ever Thus
I asked Gene Fowler how he was
coming along with "Goodnight,
Sweet Prince." He said, "We're at
a complete standstill. I may have
to sell the thing after all. Isn't it
funny? It's like a man standing on
a street corner selling $5 gold pieces
for a buck and nobody will buy. I've
had fabulous offers for it, but nobody is willing to take it free." He

Few Americans have served

A. Savoy, who was the messenger
of 21 different United States secretaries of state between 1869 and
1933, says Collier's.
During these 64 years, this
Negro performed many delicate
tasks, which included the handing
of their credentials to two foreign
diplomats who were asked to leave
this country-the Spanish minister
in 1898 and the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador in 1915.

ripe. They should be canned
the day they are gathered but if
kept cool they may stand ~s much
as 24 hours before processing. This
is mentioned because some person.
must depend upon a market for their
supply. Any tomato containing a decayed spot, no matter how small,
should be discarded. Canning those
from which such spots have been
removed leads to spoilage. Sound
over-ripe ones and those from which
small spots have been cut may be
made into chili sauce or ketchupnever, never into juice. Juice requires sound tomatoes.
The jars, caps, rubbers, and canner sl&gt;ould be ready before one
prepares ~he tomatoes. Every tomato should be carefully washed before
it is scalded for skinning. If you
have no wire basket, a square of
cheese cloth will serve the purpose
of holding tomatoes for scalding.
Simply put enough tomatoes for filling one or two jars on the cloth,
catch up the four ends of the square,
and hold the "bag" in boiling water
from one-half to one minute. Then,
if you like, dip the · bag in cold
water, making it &lt;l little easier to
.:emove the skins. Next use a sharp
pointed knife to remove every bit
of the core, slip the skins, cut away
any green or white spots and drop
the tomato into a clean hot jar.
Cut tomatoes if they won't go in
whole. After two or three tomatoes
are in the j·ar, press them with. a
clean wooden spoon (one which has
been boiled) until tliey crack and
the juice runs out to fill the spaces
between the fruit. Yes, '~fruit" is
ri(!ht. We call them vegetables becau&amp;.! they grow in gardens. When
the jar has be~n filled to within
about one inch of the top, add salt

with ]jght green, yellow, aluminum,
light blue and buff color, all of
which gave more brilliancy than the
old gray, black and green paints.
Painting walls a solid color from
floor to ceiling is hard on the eyes,'
according to Dr. Graubart. Investigations have shown that painting
walls two different colors is easier
on the eyes. Best results .\vere obtained by painting a dado about 4
feet high a darker color than the
remainder of the wall from the dado
to the ceiling. The painting of floors
whether they be wood or concrete is
keenly apprcciatQd, A concrete floor
painted a medium gray will reflect
35 per cent of light while the same
floor unpainted will reflect about 5
per cent.

Economic Security

Back in 1865 senators and representatives in the Congress of the
Uni tl d States began drawing $5,000
a year; $100 a week. That was good
pay 80 years ago but a first-class
welder can do better now. Congressmen have had two raises in salary
since then. The last one was 20
years ago when they started earning $10,000 a year which was, at the
time, a comfortable living for them.

wait 20 years for a raise.
Dangerous Bureaucracy
The important thing is that every
workman who quits a job in private industry to enter government
employ gets his wage scale frozen.
The change of work may bring more
pay but that's temporary. Whoever
works at that job a generation from
now will probably be earning the
same amount and spending a lot
more to live. Remember that the

These facts are understood well by
men of industry and leaders in labor
movements. It is encouraging to
observe how the Labor-Management
Charter, signed in Washington last
March by labor union executives andJ
prominent men of business, deals
with the subject. In brief it states:
Private enterprise is the necessary
foundation for the welfare of labor
as well as management.

Conservation Crop
Scientists have developed a variety of sorghum that yields neither
grain nor fodder. The "no yield"
sorghum was bred for an erosioncontrol crop. When planted for this
purpose, it is best to leave all growth
on the land. Stalks of the new variety make good growth, but are too'
hard and dry for forage and contain
no sweetness. The seed also is too
small to make it worth harvestin&amp;
for grain. The brushy beads are
unsuitable for making brooms. So,
say the plant breeders, the "no
yield" sorghum is well suited for use
in erosion control. Its characteristics remove any temptation the
grower might have to harvest the
crops for other purposes;.

Floating Drydoeks Change
Concept of Sea Warfare
Enough electric equipment to fur.
nish a good-sized factory plus a
,small hotel is installed on each tloat.ing drydock the navy is using to
1make emergency repairs of warships far from their most advanced
!permanent bases.
These floating factories, recently
revealed to be in action, are changing the concept of naval warfare
by enabling strategists to plan oceangoing operations without dependence
on the availability of fixed bases.
Whereas the old static concept of
sea strategy required ships to operate within an approximate range
of 2,000 miles from a permanent repair base, floating drydocks make i1
possible to establish bases as they
are needed and as near the fighting
zone as desired.
In operation these mobile drydocks prepare a warship for repair
:by literally lifting the damaged ves:sel out of the water, thus giving
•workmen access to any part of the
!hull or deck, the same as if the
lship were being overhauled on land.
!This is achieved by admitting water
to sealed compartments so that the
1drydock submerges.
When this is
. accomplished, the damaged vessel
!is floated over the dock or the dock
'is submerg~d under the vessel. Thc:1
water is pumped out of the compartments, and the drydock, with the
ship under repair now nestling on
it in a rack, ar.ises to the surface.
,In this position, the damaged ship
lis completely out of the water, with
t:ts hull exposed, and examination or
~epair is made possible.

New Compass Helps
Pilots Hold Course

Have you ever been misled in the
woods because you read your pocket
compass when it was too near your
ax or rifle? If so, you can understand why heavy metallic armor
around fighter-plane cockpits made
fit necessary to adopt a kind of com·, pass that could be located in a wing
tip, or the tall; but read in the cockpit. Such a remote-indicating comlpass is now being manufactured.
Such compasses offer other advantages in that one compass unit may
have several remote indicating detajls so the navigator or other memers ot the crew on large planes
an have the same information as
he pilot.
Permanent magnets in the compass unit, placed in a wing tip or
the tail of the plane far from the
plane's disturbing magnetic effects,
line themselves up with the earth's
magnetic field. These magnets affect the electrical voltages in a wire
coil so that corresponding coils in
the one or more indicators in the
cockpit move pointers over a dial in
~ exactly the same directions as the
,compass.

Port Grew
Settled by the Phoenicians several centuries before the beginning of
the Christia~ era, Genoa was first
confined to the narrow level shore
that forms a semicircle about its
harbor.
In the 20-odd centuries
f'ince that time, it has grown steadily up the steep slopes of the Ligurian hills forming a vast amphitheater with the harbor a fitting
stage for a city that lives by the
sea. Some distance up the slope lie
several curving streets that were
faced with substantial palaces which
indicated the *wealth and power of
Genoa in its heyday in the 16th and
17th centuries. Farther up were
1the apartment houses of later cen,turies and b ~::yond them the villas
of modern times.

Lumber Research

Although our forests represent
reat national value, research in for~~t products has ne:ver kept pace
fW1th research done m other indusltrial fields. According to Barron's
~he national financial weekly, fo;
January 9, 1939, United States industry spent $250,000,000 for research
in the year 1938. This represented
approximately eight-tenths of 1 per
cent of the value of the manufactured products. For the same period, the value of forest products was
about $3,000,000,000. Eight-tenths of
1 per cent of that figure would indicate that $24,000,000 should be speflt
annually on wood products research
if the forest industry had a research
program comparable to that of other industries.

Frosty Thirst-Quenchers Are Party Fare
(See Recipes Below)

Light Refreshments
Looking for an easy way to return
your social obligations? This is the
season for it, because entertaining can be cool,
simple and still
lovely.
All fqod can be
point easy and
fun to fix because
it does not require standing over a hot stove to
have it ready. For the simpler type
of party, rely heavily on cooling
thirst quenchers with perhaps a few
cookies or small cakes arranged attractively on a platter. If the party
takes the place of dinner, you might
have several substantial salads. Try
serving on the lawn or garden, buffet style, and save strain on housekeeping.
You will want to suggest coolness
in your table settings. Blues and
greens are very comfortable and
you can relieve the monotony by
having flowers in whites, pink or
y&lt;&gt;llow, whichever goes best with
what you have.
I've picked out some especially
good beverages for this season.
Don't use your supplies of canning
sugar for such things as this. If you
can manage to purchase ice cream
and sherbet for the drinks, do so
and save the sugar where it's most
needed.
Orange Cream.
(Serves 6)
4 egg yolks
4~ cups orange juice
1~ cups cream or rich milk
Sugar, if desired
Beat egg yolkli until light, add orange juice and blend thoroughly.
Pour into glasses and stir in cream.
Sweeten to taste, if sugar is needed. Serve at once.
Party Punch.
(Serves 8 to 10)
1 cup freshly made tea
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sliced, sweetened strawberries
~ cup lemon juice
1 pint carbonated water
Pour hot tea over sugar, add water. Cool. Add orange and lemon
juice and strawberries. Just before serving, add carbonated water.
If served in punch bowl, add thin
slices of orange.
Orange Punch.
(Serves 6 to 8)
1 pint orange ice
4 pints dry ginger ale
Crushed ice
Maraschino
cherries
Beat orange ice
'B.nd ginger ale
together. Serve in
glasses
with
crushed ice and
cherries.
Fruit Lemonade.
(Serves 6 to 8)
1~ cups light corn syrup
(Serves 6)
J_{J cup water
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 oranges
~3 cup pineapple juice
4 tablespoons cracked ice
Lynn Says
Easy Sips: Next time you have
iced tea, flavor with honey instead of sugar and serve with
lemon and orange wedges. It's
delightful.
If you have leftover fruit juices,
coffee or tea, make ice cubes with
them. Then frosty drinks will not
have that watery flavor. Bits of
fruit, berries or mint sprigs may
also be frozen in ice cubes to
make them attractive.
For a good afternoon pickup,
try chilled tomato juice with ginger ale or, use apricot nectar
with a dash of lemon juice.
Iced coffee takes on a party
touch when topped with meringue
and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Lynn Chambers' Refreshment
Suggestion

4 cherries
Few slices of banana
1~ cups ginger ale
Boil together syrup and water for
2 minutes. Set aside and cool. Pour
one-half cup of
the cooled syrup
into shaker or
large jar, add
fruit juices and
ice and shake.
Fill glasses about
half full of the
mixture and complete with ginger
ale, remaining syrup, slivered cherries and banana.
Cookies to go with the cool drinks
should be tasty but sugar-saving.
You'll like both of these suggestions:
Fudgies,
(Makes 4 dozen 2-inch cookies)
~ cup shortening
Y2 cup sugar
Y2 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

o/i cup nuts
Cream together sugar and shortening. Add syrup gradually, beating after each addition. Blend in
vanilla. Add egg and beat until
light. Add melted chocolate. Sift
together all dry ingredients, then
add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating until
smooth after each addition. Blend
in nuts.
Drop by spoonfuls on
greased baking sheet. Bake in a
moderate, (350-degree) oven. (Onehalf cup cocoa may be used in place
of chocolate. Sift with flour, soda
and salt.)
Almond Jam Bars.
(Makes 2% dozen mediumsized bars)
¥2 cup shortening
¥! teaspoon almond extract
¥2 teaspoon vanilla
¥:! cup corn syrup or honey
1 Y2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/z teaspoon salt
¥2 teaspoon cinnamon
~ teaspoon cloves
1 egg

in egg, mixing well. Spread half of
batter on greased, shallow pan.
Spread jam over batter. Cover jam.
with remaining batter. Bake in a
moderately hot (400-degree) oven 2530 minutes. Cut in bars.
Here's a light layer cake that's

who made those attempts?"
The answer was prompt. "Several

night at a country inn for supper.

tried to explain to the innkeeper
in hesitant English that he wanted
some mushrooms served with his

Despite the dramatist's attempt,

Several minutes later, he returned and offered Dumas a good·

Even if the war ended this
very moment you still would be
doing the best thing for yoursel!
and your family by investing
the biggest
amount in
War Bonds today you have
ever saved
for future
spending.
From a
strictly selfinterest viewpoint you cannot afford to
.
fritter away
war wages m a market of scarce
goods. ~ew autos, new homes,
new apphanc~s. new radios, will
~ot b~ commg off production
lmes mstantly the last shot is
fi_red by o!le of your tired relatives or fnends. War Bonds will
mak~ .wonderful peace-time ammumtwn when they mature $4
for every $3 you store away now.
P. S. Just to bring you out of
that postwar dream, take another look at the headlines
There's still a war on. You and
your money are needed to beat
the Japs. The bonds you buy tod.ay are WAR bonds. There'll be
hme 10 years hence for you to
ihink of them as PEACE BONDS.

New York Education Head
Takes Over in 1946;
Willard Retiring.
George D. Stoddard, 47-year-old
Commissioner of Education of New
York state, will become the tenth
President of the University of Illinois on July 1, 1946. He will succeed
President Arthur Cutts Willard, who
will reach the University's mandatory retirement age August 12 of
that year.
Stoddard will assume leadership
of an educational institution whose
prewar enrollment was third largest
in the nation, whose plant is valued
at approXimately $45,000,000, and
whose flag of alumni and former students now in the armed services
bears 19,014 blue and 516 gold stars.
Since July 1, 1942, Dr. Stoddard
has been President of the University
of the State of New York and ComJYl.issioner of Education. Curiously,
this post was organized and first
held by Andrew Sloan Draper who
in 1904 resigned as fourth president
of the University of Illinois to take
the New York office, which he held
until his death in 1913.
Dr. Stoddard's selection by the
Illinois Board of Trustees was on
unanimous recommendation by the
board's committee on selecting a
new president, headed bv Trustee
Chester R. Davis of Chicago, and on
unanimous recommendation to that
committee by Committees of the
University Faculty, the Alumni Association, and the University Statewide Advisory committee.
Prior to going to New York, D1·.
Stoddard was for 17 years a member of the psychology faculty of the
University of Iowa. Becoming an
associate professor in 1928, professor in 1929, and head of the department in 1938, he also served as director of the Iowa Child Welfare
Research station from 1928 to 1941,
and was Dean of the Graduate college from 1936 to 1942.
He was born in Carbondale, Penn.,
October 8, 1897. He received the
Bachelor of Arts degree at Pennsylvania State College in 1921, the diplome of the University of Paris in
1923, and the Doctor of Philosophy
degree at the University of Iowa in
1925. Honorary degrees have been
conferred on him by seven universities and colleges.
Dr. Stoddard is married and has
five children, ranging in age from
2lh to 16 years.
The new Illini chieftain told the
Alumni association Executive Council, meeting on the campus, that
"the University of Illinois is not only
now a great university, but it can
become the greatest of all state universities. In Illinois the state's educational resources are more nearly
centered in this one institution than
is the case in most other states. Here
is a state university all in one place
which has physical and educational
possibilities to become the greatest
of them aU. '•

Barometer of Health
The eye is the barometer of
health, revealing in a surprising degree to your friends the inner condition of mind and body. When
the eyes are sparkling, st:rain-free
and alert, they broadcast to your
friends the fact that you are feeling well and thinking right. But
tired, dull eyes tell your friends that
you are in the dumps. With an
opththalmoscope, which is a little
mirror with a hole in the middle
the ophthalmologist or optometrist
looks at the retina in the back of
the eye and gains even a better
view of the tell-tale signs , of the
eyes. Since the retina is really an
extension of the brain, early signs
of certain mental disorders can
sometimes be detected with the
ophthalmoscope. Also, the tiny blood
vessels in the eyes may furnish
clues to ills affecting the circulatory system. Most visual shortcomings are errors in refraction and
are corrected with spectacles. However, if ophthalmic inspection of the
eyes reveals unusual conditions attention of the person is called to
the fact that services
a po.thologist are indicated.

Despite heavy payments due on
income tax installments for the final
quarter of 1944 and an increase
in inventories of unincorporated
businesses, individuals' savings for
the first three months of this year
totaled almost $8,500,000,000.

POLAND:
New Government

UNITED NATIONS:
Pact to Senate
With ~ndications of overwhelming
approval the senate moved to consider ratification of
the United Nations
postwar security organization, w i t h
none of the bitter
debate expected
which marked the
rejection
of the
League of Nations
after World War I.
Back from San
Francisco,
where
Sen. Connally 800 delegates from
50 United Nations mapped the historic pact, Sen. Tom Connally (Dem.,
Texas) bid for early ratification, declaring that although no effort
would be made to railroad the thing
through, "I don't want to see the
senate dilly-dally, shilly-shally and
honey-swuggle all through July and
August just because some members want to make speeches for consumption back home."
A member of the American delegation at the San Francisco parley
along with Connally, Sen. Arthur
-'Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) also was
prepared to throw his full strength
behind the move for acceptance.
Known for his efforts to reconcile
U. S. sovereignty with international
co-operation, Vandenberg sai? t~at
although the security orgamzatwn
was not perfect, it represented a
step toward effective world collaboration to outlaw future war.
With no major battle looming, discussion of the power of the U. S.
representative on the security council to vote for use of armed force
without prior congressional approval may be academic, with proponents suggesting later legislation
enabling congress to instruct the
representative on the course to be
pursued in such cases.
Under the present provisions of
the security organization, however,
there is little likelihood of armed
force being employed against any
of the major powers, since anyone
of the Big Five - the U. S., Britain, Russia, France and China-can
veto military measures against
themselves.
By permitting the U. S. to retain
conquered Pacific possessions for
defense bases on tl1e discretion of
congress, the framers of the security organization also steered
clear of vigorous objections which
might have been raised against the
trusteeship phases of the new charter.

Big ] ob /or Ed
As congress prepared to ponder
ratification, former Secretary of
State Edward R. Stettinius. who
played such an important role in shaping the new organization, was
assigned the equally
important job of
representing t h e
U. S. on the all-powerf"l 1;ecurity council.
As the U. S. representative,
Smil- ;dw. Stet~inius
ing Ed will have the
power to cast America's vote in the
settlement of disputes, the application of economic pressure against
potential aggressors to bring them
in line, or the use of force. His
power only will be limited by whatever reservation congress may
make.
Big Business's Personality Boy,
Stettinius has risen high in U. S.
politics since leaving the U. S. Steel
corporation to first take over admin-

MEDICAL BILL
With the nation's medical bill in
1944 totaling 4 billion dollars and a
capital investment in hospital plant
and equipment of six billions, medicine today is one of the big businesses of America. The direct consumers of medical care paid 3 billions of last year's bill, expenditures
bv federal, state and local governments were 800 mi!lions, and the
balance was contributed by industry and philanthropy a survey revealed.

istration ot lend-lease and then
move into the state department as
its head when the ailing Cordell
Hull retired.
With Smiling Ed's departure, former U. S. senator, supreme court
justice and war mobilizer, James F.
Byrnes, was prominently mentioned
as his successor. A southern Democrat, Byrnes long was a leader in
national politics, first stepping into
the international picture when he
accompanied President Roosevelt
to Yalta. Pointing up talk of Byrnes'
succession to the secretaryship of
state was announcement that he
would attend the forthcoming Big
Three conference in Berlin.

OPA:
Extended for Year
Giving Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton Anderson veto power over
food pricing orders, including processed farm products and livestock,
house and senate conferees agreed
to a one year extension of OP A.
In granting Anderson pricing
supervision, the conferees knocked
out the senate amendment calling
for the payment of cost plus a reasonable profit for farm products.
Though backed by the agricultural
bloc, the measure was strongly opposed because of its displacement
of the parity system, designed to
create a balance between what producers get and what they must pay
for goods.
In addition to granting Anderson
power over food prices, house and
senate conferees sought to improve
the tight meat situation by permitting non-federally inspected packers
to increase production and ship between the states, relieving the pressure on federally-inspected slaughtferers whose civilian supply has
been sharply cut after army setasides.
Reports Japs Seek Peace
Backed to the wall, with U. S. super·
fort• pounding their cities to rubble
and American armed forces drawing a
noose around the homeland, the ]apa·
nese have advanced peace terms to thi.l
country, Senator Capehart (Rep., Ind.)
said. Although declaring he was not at
liberty to reveal details, Capehart indi·
cated that the enemy was willing to
mrrender all conquered territory, in·
eluding Manchuria. l.ittle could be
gained over the proffered terms from
unconditional surrender, involving at
least a two-year war in China, the sena·
tor opined.

U.S. SPENDING:
Sets Record
Ending June 30, fiscal year 1945
found the U. S. collecting more,
spending more and running into debt
more than in any other similar period in the nation's history.
Though revenues rose to almost
451,2 billion dollars for the year,
expenditures rocketed to almost
100 billion, leaving a deficit of 54
billion. As a result the national debt
soared to more than 255 billion dollars.
Standing at about 90 billion dollars, war spending constituted the
greatest portion of outlays. While
expenditures for military production, supplies and services were up,
contracts for c.onstruction, subsidies
and other obligations of government
corporations dropped off to less
than one-half billion dollars.
As fiscal 1946 got underway, Jess
expenditure and less income appeared to be in order. Military expenditures have been cut to reflect
the decreased cost of a one-front
war and revenues are expected to
drop because of less overtime
wages and reconversion layoffs.

Waterfowl Drop
According to estimates of Dr.
Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife service,
the waterfowl population of the
U. S. stands at 105 million. This
is approximately 20 million less
than the 1944 figure.
The apparent decrease may
not be exact, Dr. Gabrielson
points out, as the population
may have been Ovi!restimated in
1944.

Nazi Influence Remains
To Vex Allied Control

Doring the period, indJvid·
oals' deposited almost $5,000,·
000,000 in banks; bought almost
$1,500,000,000 of
government
bonds, and paid up $1,000,000,000 in national service life insurance and 900,000,000 in private premiums.
At the same time, individuals
strengthened their position for the
postwar -period by reducing consumer debt $200,000,000 exclusive of
mortgage obligations.

With the formation of a new government designed to be representative of the whole country, the
troublesome Polish question appeared resolved, thus removing a
bone of contention between the Allies.
Including political leaders who
had fled abroad as well as those
who had remained behind or found
sanctuary with the Russians, the
new regime is based on the
Moscow sponsored Warsaw provisional government to assure the
Reds of a friendly buffer to western Europe.
Though U. S. and British recognition of the new regime loomed, the
Polish government in exile in London assailed it as a "self-appointed
political body composed of communists and foreign agents."
As
long as the Red army and police
occupy Poland no freedom can ex·
ist, the exiles said.

PACIFIC:
Hara-Kiri
"Twenty-second day, sixth month,
twentieth year of Showa era. I depart
without regret, fear, $hame or oblig·
tion. Army chief of staff, Cho lsamu.
Age of departure, 51 years."

Inscribed on a white silk mattress cover found in his grave at
the base of a cliff on Okinawa,
the above phrasing constituted Lt.Gen. Isamu Cho's own epithet written before he committed hara-kiri in
typical Japanese warrior style before the island's fall.
American troops were within 80
yards of enemy headquarters on a
seaside cliff when Cho and Commanding Gen. Mitsuru Ushijima
knelt down on a narrow ledge overlooking the Pacific and plunged
kni.ves into their naked abdomens
while aides stood by to slash their
spinal columns to assure death.
With the two Jap chieftains, over
100,000 enemy troops also met their
death on Okinawa in the savage
fighting.

FOOD:
Fat, Oil Pinch
In revealing another boost in the
point value of margarine, the interagency committee on foreign shipments warned American housewives that fats and oils will remain
in tight supply until the spring or
early summer of 1946 because they
are among the top requirements of
hungry Europe.
The committee's announcement
was made as OPA revealed that
civilian meat supplies would be
5 per cent greater this month than
last, with the largest increas~ in
beef.
Reflecting
smaller
hog
numbers on farms, pork stocks will
fall below June.
Over 90,000,000 pounds of beef
will be available weekly for civilians compared with 73,530,000
pounds
last
month;
85,100,000
pounds of pork as against 91,240,000;
24,180,000 pounds of veal as against
23,040,000; 10,030,000 pounds of lamb
as against 9,950,000, and 2,790,000
pounds of mutton as against 2,190, ·
000 pounds.

STRIKES:
Plague Officials
With the victory in Europe removing previous restraint, the wave of
strikes sweeping the country has
taxed the resources of the U. S.
conciliation service and War Labor
board, and created anxiety among
government officials concerning production for the Pacific war.
As the officials looked to President Truman and Secretary
of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach to correct the situation,
latest reports put the total of
idle at 86,000. Though the number of requests for strike votes
had been rising since March.
actual walkouts were checked
until V-E Day.
Wages have not been as important
a factor in the ntrikes as union rivalry and struggle for leadership in the
unions themselves, officials said.
Another source of unrest has been
unsettled grievances in war plants,
with w.orkers striking to force action.

TRANSPORT RISE
Total volume of freight and pas·
senger h'ansportation of all types of
carriers has shown a steady expansion during the war period, rising in
1944 to the highest level on record.
Airplane transportation showed
the greatest increase during this
period, rising 421.4 per cent. While
railroad traffic increased 171.4 per
cent; pipelines, 137.7 per cent; motor trucks, 123.5 per cent.
The
gains made by these carriers more
than offset a curtailment of 29.9

CHAPTER XII

"'I thought at first perhaps you
were from Northern Italy," the Major said politely.
Tina laughed. "Tell me some
more about yourselt," she said.
"There's not much to tell," he
said.
"Did you go to one of those American colleges? I've seen them in
the movies at Vicinamare."
"No, not exactly. I went to school
until I was sixteen. Then I lied
about my age, I said I was eighteen
so that I could get a driver's license
and take a job. I worked as a truck
driver until I was twenty, then I
had an accident, from lifting things
which were too heavy."
"What kind of an accident, Mister Major?"
"It was a rupture. After the accident I had no job for two months.
It is not very exciting to be un-employed in the United States. Finally I got a job as a clerk in a
grocery store at twelve dollars a
week."
''How much is that?"
"Twelve hundred lira ."
"Twelve hundred lira! You must
have been rich."
"No, Tina, twelve hundred lira is
all right for Adano-"
"All right! I should say it is all
right. Six hundred is high pay. My
father used to think six hundred
was a very good week-and he
hasn't been out for a long time,"
she added sadly.
"But that's not so much in the
.states."
"You mean everyone is rich in
the Bronx?"
"No, I wouldn't say so, Tina. It's
just that our standard of living is
higher than yours."
• "What does that mean?"
"Well, that's hard to explain, too.
It's just that everyone has a little
more than they have here. They
mostly have automobiles, in peacetime, that is. The food is a little
better, everyone gets orange juice
and milk and things like that. They
get paid a little more. They have
to pay more for what they get,
though."
"In other words, it's just what I
said.
Everyone is rich in the
Bronx."
"Well, have it your own way.
Anyhow, I think fate has had a lot
to do with my life, because one
night a friend of mine told me that
they were about to have examinations for jobs in the City Government."
"The City of the Bronx?"
"No, Tina, New York City. He
told me I ought to take them. I
said I hadn't had enough education, but he said I ought to go ahead
and try. So I did and I came out
number 177 out of 1,100. That made
me feel pretty good, as if I knew
. something after all. They gave me
a job as a clerk in the Department
of Taxation and Finance."
"Did this make you rich again?"
"No, being a tax collector did not
make you rich in New York. I
was earning twenty dollars a week.
That's two thousand lira."
"Two thousand, richer than ever."
"I did all right, too, only then
they elected a man named LaGuardia, and since he was a different
party from the previous man, a lot
of people got thrown out, and I was
one. I borrowed some money from
my mother-in-law-"
"Your mother-in-law? Were you
married?"
"Yes, Tina, I'll tell you about
that some time. I borrowed this
money and bought a grocery store
in the Bronx, and it was all mine.
Only then about two years later
things went badly, we had hard
times, and I had to sell out before
it was too late. I went back to the
City to see if they'd have me back,
because they had sent me a couple
()f notices while I had the grocery
store, saying they wanted me. They
said: 'Why didn't you answer the
notices?' I said: 'I never got them,
I must have been in Florida when
you sent them to me.' "
"Where is Florida?"
"It's in the south, I wasn't there
at all. That was the second time I
lied to get a job. Since then I've
tried never to lie, the truth is much
better and much safer. So they
gave me a job in the Sanitation
Department. Later I took my examinations for advancement to
Third Class Clerk, and afterwards
I got to be a Second Class Clerk.
I was earning forty-two dollars a
week when I went into the Army."
Major Joppolo was getting a little
boastful about his non-existent
riches. "That was four thousand
two hundred lira a week."
Tina said: "The wife, is she pretty?"
1\lajor Joppolo said: "Yes, she is
very pretty, at least she seems so

to me. I miss her very much. She
has a' mole on the left side of her
chin, but otherwise she is very pretty. She is of Italian parentage, so
she has dark skin like yours. In
some ways you remind me of her."
Tina had been looking up at the
stars. But now she suddenly looked
down into the dark valley of the
street and said: "Let's go in and
dance." And she opened up the
shutter doors and went inside. Major Joppolo went in after her:
Captain Purvis had gone to work
on Tomasino's wine, and he was
making a decided nuisance of himself, so Major Joppolo persuaded
h1m to go home. He and Giuseppe
led the Captain home.
When he got back to his own villa, and was undressed and in bed,
Major Joppolo felt miserable. It
wasn't until nearly three o'clock that
he realized why.
Giuseppe was
right. It made a man feel very
unhappy to be as far from home as
the Bronx, New York, is from Adano, Italy.
The next morning Captain Purvis
sat with his feet up on his desk. He
was in a bad humor.
Sergeant Trapani was out of the
office. The Captain spoke to Corporal Chuck Schultz, who was on
guard. "That Major Joppolo," he
said. "I was beginning to like him,
but he's a wet blanket. I was just
getting a wonderful buzz on last
night, and he descended on me, sober as a whitefish, and he made
me go home."
Corporal Schultz said: "Was you
getting buzzed on that Dago red?"
The Captain said: "Yeah, there's
an old fish-hound down here. Giuseppe took me to his house because

"Hey, Schultz," he said. "Where's
Trapani?"
he's got a couple of nice quail, he
gave me some red stuff.''
Corporal Schultz said: "That
vino's bad stuff, sir, you don't want
to get mixed up with that vino no
more'n you can help. Had some myself last night."
Captain Purvis said: "I'm still
sore at that Major."
He leaned back in his chair, and
put his feet up on his desk again.
As he did so, he knocked some papers on the floor.
"I suppose I might as well clean
up my desk. Got to do it sooner
or later."
He reached down on the floor and
picked up the stray papers. He began to sort and arrange papers in
piles, and he threw some away, and
he got up and put some away in his
files. He read some of them aloud
to Corporal Schultz, who was not in
the least interested.
In due course he picked up a
purple slip, and he said: "What's
this?" And he read: "On July 19,
orders were received from General
Marvin, Forty-Ninth Division, to
keep all mule carts out of the town
of Adano. Guards were posted at
bridge over Rosso River and at
Cacopardo Sulphur Refinery. Order
carried out. On July 20, guards
were removed on order of Major
Victor Joppolo. . . . "
Captain Purvis banged the fiat of a
hand down on the table.
"Hey, Schultz," he saicl. "Where's
Trapani?"
"Said be was just stepping out
for a couple of minutes, sir, said
he'd be right back. Anything I can
do, sir?"
"No. Wait till I get that Trapani."
Trapani came in in a few mitlutes.
"Hey, you, come over here," Captain Purvis said as soon as he arrived.
"Yes, sir," Trapani said.
"What's this?" the Captain said,
and he held out the purple slip.
Trapani took it and looked at it.
"That's the report on the mule cart
situation, sir," Trapani said coolly.
"You told me to make out a report, remember?"
"You're right I remember, and
where did I tell you to send it?"

China has been experiencing a serious inflation, according to the Alexander Hamilton institute. Tl,is has
been caused by a number of fact-ors. In the first place, China has
lost her most industrialized territories and she has thus been deprived of a number of commodities which were previously produced
within the country. In the second
place, China has been almost entirely cut off from her Allies for a number of years. Consequently, she nas
been unable to import commodities
much needed by the civilian population. In the third place, China's
capacity for producing raw mate·
rials has suffered materially.
These three factors, which have
brought about a great shortage of
civilian goods, h:wc been accompanied by an impairment of China's
ability to collect taxes. Revenues
needed by the government have had
to be raised to a considerable extent through the printing of paper
money. Consequently, both the vol·
ume of currency in circulation and
the volume of bank deposits have
shown a sharp expansion.
The result of these various developments has been a pronounced rise
in commodity prices. So long as
China is unable to obtain an ample
supply of commodities and, particularly, so long as adequate revenue
cannot be obtained from taxes, inflation will continue, causing commodity prices to rise to higher and
hiiher levels.

New York Education Head
Takes Over in 1946;
Willard Retiring.
George D. Stoddard, 47-year-old
Commissioner of Education of New
York state, will become the tenth
President of the University of Illinois on July 1, 1946. He will succeed
President Arthur Cutts Willard, who
will reach the University's mandatory retirement age August 12 of
that year.
Stoddard will assume leadership
of an educational institution whose
prewar enrollment was third largest
in the nation, whose plant is valued
at approXimately $45,000,000, and
whose flag of alumni and former students now in the armed services
bears 19,014 blue and 516 gold stars.
Since July 1, 1942, Dr. Stoddard
has been President of the University
of the State of New York and ComJYl.issioner of Education. Curiously,
this post was organized and first
held by Andrew Sloan Draper who
in 1904 resigned as fourth president
of the University of Illinois to take
the New York office, which he held
until his death in 1913.
Dr. Stoddard's selection by the
Illinois Board of Trustees was on
unanimous recommendation by the
board's committee on selecting a
new president, headed bv Trustee
Chester R. Davis of Chicago, and on
unanimous recommendation to that
committee by Committees of the
University Faculty, the Alumni Association, and the University Statewide Advisory committee.
Prior to going to New York, D1·.
Stoddard was for 17 years a member of the psychology faculty of the
University of Iowa. Becoming an
associate professor in 1928, professor in 1929, and head of the department in 1938, he also served as director of the Iowa Child Welfare
Research station from 1928 to 1941,
and was Dean of the Graduate college from 1936 to 1942.
He was born in Carbondale, Penn.,
October 8, 1897. He received the
Bachelor of Arts degree at Pennsylvania State College in 1921, the diplome of the University of Paris in
1923, and the Doctor of Philosophy
degree at the University of Iowa in
1925. Honorary degrees have been
conferred on him by seven universities and colleges.
Dr. Stoddard is married and has
five children, ranging in age from
2lh to 16 years.
The new Illini chieftain told the
Alumni association Executive Council, meeting on the campus, that
"the University of Illinois is not only
now a great university, but it can
become the greatest of all state universities. In Illinois the state's educational resources are more nearly
centered in this one institution than
is the case in most other states. Here
is a state university all in one place
which has physical and educational
possibilities to become the greatest
of them aU. '•

Barometer of Health
The eye is the barometer of
health, revealing in a surprising degree to your friends the inner condition of mind and body. When
the eyes are sparkling, st:rain-free
and alert, they broadcast to your
friends the fact that you are feeling well and thinking right. But
tired, dull eyes tell your friends that
you are in the dumps. With an
opththalmoscope, which is a little
mirror with a hole in the middle
the ophthalmologist or optometrist
looks at the retina in the back of
the eye and gains even a better
view of the tell-tale signs , of the
eyes. Since the retina is really an
extension of the brain, early signs
of certain mental disorders can
sometimes be detected with the
ophthalmoscope. Also, the tiny blood
vessels in the eyes may furnish
clues to ills affecting the circulatory system. Most visual shortcomings are errors in refraction and
are corrected with spectacles. However, if ophthalmic inspection of the
eyes reveals unusual conditions attention of the person is called to
the fact that services
a po.thologist are indicated.

Despite heavy payments due on
income tax installments for the final
quarter of 1944 and an increase
in inventories of unincorporated
businesses, individuals' savings for
the first three months of this year
totaled almost $8,500,000,000.

POLAND:
New Government

UNITED NATIONS:
Pact to Senate
With ~ndications of overwhelming
approval the senate moved to consider ratification of
the United Nations
postwar security organization, w i t h
none of the bitter
debate expected
which marked the
rejection
of the
League of Nations
after World War I.
Back from San
Francisco,
where
Sen. Connally 800 delegates from
50 United Nations mapped the historic pact, Sen. Tom Connally (Dem.,
Texas) bid for early ratification, declaring that although no effort
would be made to railroad the thing
through, "I don't want to see the
senate dilly-dally, shilly-shally and
honey-swuggle all through July and
August just because some members want to make speeches for consumption back home."
A member of the American delegation at the San Francisco parley
along with Connally, Sen. Arthur
-'Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) also was
prepared to throw his full strength
behind the move for acceptance.
Known for his efforts to reconcile
U. S. sovereignty with international
co-operation, Vandenberg sai? t~at
although the security orgamzatwn
was not perfect, it represented a
step toward effective world collaboration to outlaw future war.
With no major battle looming, discussion of the power of the U. S.
representative on the security council to vote for use of armed force
without prior congressional approval may be academic, with proponents suggesting later legislation
enabling congress to instruct the
representative on the course to be
pursued in such cases.
Under the present provisions of
the security organization, however,
there is little likelihood of armed
force being employed against any
of the major powers, since anyone
of the Big Five - the U. S., Britain, Russia, France and China-can
veto military measures against
themselves.
By permitting the U. S. to retain
conquered Pacific possessions for
defense bases on tl1e discretion of
congress, the framers of the security organization also steered
clear of vigorous objections which
might have been raised against the
trusteeship phases of the new charter.

Big ] ob /or Ed
As congress prepared to ponder
ratification, former Secretary of
State Edward R. Stettinius. who
played such an important role in shaping the new organization, was
assigned the equally
important job of
representing t h e
U. S. on the all-powerf"l 1;ecurity council.
As the U. S. representative,
Smil- ;dw. Stet~inius
ing Ed will have the
power to cast America's vote in the
settlement of disputes, the application of economic pressure against
potential aggressors to bring them
in line, or the use of force. His
power only will be limited by whatever reservation congress may
make.
Big Business's Personality Boy,
Stettinius has risen high in U. S.
politics since leaving the U. S. Steel
corporation to first take over admin-

MEDICAL BILL
With the nation's medical bill in
1944 totaling 4 billion dollars and a
capital investment in hospital plant
and equipment of six billions, medicine today is one of the big businesses of America. The direct consumers of medical care paid 3 billions of last year's bill, expenditures

istration ot lend-lease and then
move into the state department as
its head when the ailing Cordell
Hull retired.
With Smiling Ed's departure, former U. S. senator, supreme court
justice and war mobilizer, James F.
Byrnes, was prominently mentioned
as his successor. A southern Democrat, Byrnes long was a leader in
national politics, first stepping into
the international picture when he
accompanied President Roosevelt
to Yalta. Pointing up talk of Byrnes'
succession to the secretaryship of
state was announcement that he
would attend the forthcoming Big
Three conference in Berlin.

OPA:
Extended for Year
Giving Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton Anderson veto power over
food pricing orders, including processed farm products and livestock,
house and senate conferees agreed
to a one year extension of OP A.
In granting Anderson pricing
supervision, the conferees knocked
out the senate amendment calling
for the payment of cost plus a reasonable profit for farm products.
Though backed by the agricultural
bloc, the measure was strongly opposed because of its displacement
of the parity system, designed to
create a balance between what producers get and what they must pay
for goods.
In addition to granting Anderson
power over food prices, house and
senate conferees sought to improve
the tight meat situation by permitting non-federally inspected packers
to increase production and ship between the states, relieving the pressure on federally-inspected slaughtferers whose civilian supply has
been sharply cut after army setasides.
Reports Japs Seek Peace
Backed to the wall, with U. S. super·
fort• pounding their cities to rubble
and American armed forces drawing a
noose around the homeland, the ]apa·
nese have advanced peace terms to thi.l
country, Senator Capehart (Rep., Ind.)
said. Although declaring he was not at
liberty to reveal details, Capehart indi·
cated that the enemy was willing to
mrrender all conquered territory, in·
eluding Manchuria. l.ittle could be
gained over the proffered terms from
unconditional surrender, involving at
least a two-year war in China, the sena·
tor opined.

U.S. SPENDING:
Sets Record
Ending June 30, fiscal year 1945
found the U. S. collecting more,
spending more and running into debt
more than in any other similar period in the nation's history.
Though revenues rose to almost
451,2 billion dollars for the year,
expenditures rocketed to almost
100 billion, leaving a deficit of 54
billion. As a result the national debt
soared to more than 255 billion dollars.
Standing at about 90 billion dollars, war spending constituted the
greatest portion of outlays. While
expenditures for military production, supplies and services were up,
contracts for c.onstruction, subsidies
and other obligations of government
corporations dropped off to less
than one-half billion dollars.
As fiscal 1946 got underway, Jess
expenditure and less income appeared to be in order. Military expenditures have been cut to reflect
the decreased cost of a one-front
war and revenues are expected to
drop because of less overtime
wages and reconversion layoffs.

Waterfowl Drop
According to estimates of Dr.
Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife service,
the waterfowl population of the
U. S. stands at 105 million. This
is approximately 20 million less
than the 1944 figure.
The apparent decrease may
not be exact, Dr. Gabrielson
points out, as the population
may have been Ovi!restimated in
1944.

Nazi Influence Remains
To Vex Allied Control

Doring the period, indJvid·
oals' deposited almost $5,000,·
000,000 in banks; bought almost
$1,500,000,000 of
government
bonds, and paid up $1,000,000,000 in national service life insurance and 900,000,000 in private premiums.
At the same time, individuals
strengthened their position for the
postwar -period by reducing consumer debt $200,000,000 exclusive of
mortgage obligations.

With the formation of a new government designed to be representative of the whole country, the
troublesome Polish question appeared resolved, thus removing a
bone of contention between the Allies.
Including political leaders who
had fled abroad as well as those
who had remained behind or found
sanctuary with the Russians, the
new regime is based on the
Moscow sponsored Warsaw provisional government to assure the
Reds of a friendly buffer to western Europe.
Though U. S. and British recognition of the new regime loomed, the
Polish government in exile in London assailed it as a "self-appointed
political body composed of communists and foreign agents."
As
long as the Red army and police
occupy Poland no freedom can ex·
ist, the exiles said.

PACIFIC:
Hara-Kiri
"Twenty-second day, sixth month,
twentieth year of Showa era. I depart
without regret, fear, $hame or oblig·
tion. Army chief of staff, Cho lsamu.
Age of departure, 51 years."

Inscribed on a white silk mattress cover found in his grave at
the base of a cliff on Okinawa,
the above phrasing constituted Lt.Gen. Isamu Cho's own epithet written before he committed hara-kiri in
typical Japanese warrior style before the island's fall.
American troops were within 80
yards of enemy headquarters on a
seaside cliff when Cho and Commanding Gen. Mitsuru Ushijima
knelt down on a narrow ledge overlooking the Pacific and plunged
kni.ves into their naked abdomens
while aides stood by to slash their
spinal columns to assure death.
With the two Jap chieftains, over
100,000 enemy troops also met their
death on Okinawa in the savage
fighting.

FOOD:
Fat, Oil Pinch
In revealing another boost in the
point value of margarine, the interagency committee on foreign shipments warned American housewives that fats and oils will remain
in tight supply until the spring or
early summer of 1946 because they
are among the top requirements of
hungry Europe.
The committee's announcement
was made as OPA revealed that
civilian meat supplies would be
5 per cent greater this month than
last, with the largest increas~ in
beef.
Reflecting
smaller
hog
numbers on farms, pork stocks will
fall below June.
Over 90,000,000 pounds of beef
will be available weekly for civilians compared with 73,530,000
pounds
last
month;
85,100,000
pounds of pork as against 91,240,000;
24,180,000 pounds of veal as against
23,040,000; 10,030,000 pounds of lamb
as against 9,950,000, and 2,790,000
pounds of mutton as against 2,190, ·
000 pounds.

STRIKES:
Plague Officials
With the victory in Europe removing previous restraint, the wave of
strikes sweeping the country has
taxed the resources of the U. S.
conciliation service and War Labor
board, and created anxiety among
government officials concerning production for the Pacific war.
As the officials looked to President Truman and Secretary
of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach to correct the situation,
latest reports put the total of
idle at 86,000. Though the number of requests for strike votes
had been rising since March.
actual walkouts were checked
until V-E Day.
Wages have not been as important
a factor in the ntrikes as union rivalry and struggle for leadership in the
unions themselves, officials said.
Another source of unrest has been
unsettled grievances in war plants,
with w.orkers striking to force action.

TRANSPORT RISE
Total volume of freight and pas·
senger h'ansportation of all types of
carriers has shown a steady expansion during the war period, rising in
1944 to the highest level on record.
Airplane transportation showed
the greatest increase during this
period, rising 421.4 per cent. While
railroad traffic increased 171.4 per
cent; pipelines, 137.7 per cent; motor trucks, 123.5 per cent.
The
gains made by these carriers more
than offset a curtailment of 29.9
per cent in water transport.

CHAPTER XII

"'I thought at first perhaps you
were from Northern Italy," the Major said politely.
Tina laughed. "Tell me some
more about yourselt," she said.
"There's not much to tell," he
said.
"Did you go to one of those American colleges? I've seen them in
the movies at Vicinamare."
"No, not exactly. I went to school
until I was sixteen. Then I lied
about my age, I said I was eighteen
so that I could get a driver's license
and take a job. I worked as a truck
driver until I was twenty, then I
had an accident, from lifting things
which were too heavy."
"What kind of an accident, Mister Major?"
"It was a rupture. After the accident I had no job for two months.
It is not very exciting to be un-employed in the United States. Finally I got a job as a clerk in a
grocery store at twelve dollars a
week."
''How much is that?"
"Twelve hundred lira ."
"Twelve hundred lira! You must
have been rich."
"No, Tina, twelve hundred lira is
all right for Adano-"
"All right! I should say it is all
right. Six hundred is high pay. My
father used to think six hundred
was a very good week-and he
hasn't been out for a long time,"
she added sadly.
"But that's not so much in the
.states."
"You mean everyone is rich in
the Bronx?"
"No, I wouldn't say so, Tina. It's
just that our standard of living is
higher than yours."
• "What does that mean?"
"Well, that's hard to explain, too.
It's just that everyone has a little
more than they have here. They
mostly have automobiles, in peacetime, that is. The food is a little
better, everyone gets orange juice
and milk and things like that. They
get paid a little more. They have
to pay more for what they get,
though."
"In other words, it's just what I
said.
Everyone is rich in the
Bronx."
"Well, have it your own way.
Anyhow, I think fate has had a lot
to do with my life, because one
night a friend of mine told me that
they were about to have examinations for jobs in the City Government."
"The City of the Bronx?"
"No, Tina, New York City. He
told me I ought to take them. I
said I hadn't had enough education, but he said I ought to go ahead
and try. So I did and I came out
number 177 out of 1,100. That made
me feel pretty good, as if I knew
. something after all. They gave me
a job as a clerk in the Department
of Taxation and Finance."
"Did this make you rich again?"
"No, being a tax collector did not
make you rich in New York. I
was earning twenty dollars a week.
That's two thousand lira."
"Two thousand, richer than ever."
"I did all right, too, only then
they elected a man named LaGuardia, and since he was a different
party from the previous man, a lot
of people got thrown out, and I was
one. I borrowed some money from
my mother-in-law-"
"Your mother-in-law? Were you
married?"
"Yes, Tina, I'll tell you about
that some time. I borrowed this
money and bought a grocery store
in the Bronx, and it was all mine.
Only then about two years later
things went badly, we had hard
times, and I had to sell out before
it was too late. I went back to the
City to see if they'd have me back,
because they had sent me a couple
()f notices while I had the grocery
store, saying they wanted me. They
said: 'Why didn't you answer the
notices?' I said: 'I never got them,
I must have been in Florida when
you sent them to me.' "
"Where is Florida?"
"It's in the south, I wasn't there
at all. That was the second time I
lied to get a job. Since then I've
tried never to lie, the truth is much
better and much safer. So they
gave me a job in the Sanitation
Department. Later I took my examinations for advancement to
Third Class Clerk, and afterwards
I got to be a Second Class Clerk.
I was earning forty-two dollars a
week when I went into the Army."
Major Joppolo was getting a little
boastful about his non-existent
riches. "That was four thousand
two hundred lira a week."
Tina said: "The wife, is she pretty?"
1\lajor Joppolo said: "Yes, she is
very pretty, at least she seems so

to me. I miss her very much. She
has a' mole on the left side of her
chin, but otherwise she is very pretty. She is of Italian parentage, so
she has dark skin like yours. In
some ways you remind me of her."
Tina had been looking up at the
stars. But now she suddenly looked
down into the dark valley of the
street and said: "Let's go in and
dance." And she opened up the
shutter doors and went inside. Major Joppolo went in after her:
Captain Purvis had gone to work
on Tomasino's wine, and he was
making a decided nuisance of himself, so Major Joppolo persuaded
h1m to go home. He and Giuseppe
led the Captain home.
When he got back to his own villa, and was undressed and in bed,
Major Joppolo felt miserable. It
wasn't until nearly three o'clock that
he realized why.
Giuseppe was
right. It made a man feel very
unhappy to be as far from home as
the Bronx, New York, is from Adano, Italy.
The next morning Captain Purvis
sat with his feet up on his desk. He
was in a bad humor.
Sergeant Trapani was out of the
office. The Captain spoke to Corporal Chuck Schultz, who was on
guard. "That Major Joppolo," he
said. "I was beginning to like him,
but he's a wet blanket. I was just
getting a wonderful buzz on last
night, and he descended on me, sober as a whitefish, and he made
me go home."
Corporal Schultz said: "Was you
getting buzzed on that Dago red?"
The Captain said: "Yeah, there's
an old fish-hound down here. Giuseppe took me to his house because

Captain Purvis said: "I'm still
sore at that Major."
He leaned back in his chair, and
put his feet up on his desk again.
As he did so, he knocked some papers on the floor.
"I suppose I might as well clean
up my desk. Got to do it sooner
or later."
He reached down on the floor and
picked up the stray papers. He began to sort and arrange papers in
piles, and he threw some away, and
he got up and put some away in his
files. He read some of them aloud
to Corporal Schultz, who was not in
the least interested.
In due course he picked up a
purple slip, and he said: "What's
this?" And he read: "On July 19,
orders were received from General
Marvin, Forty-Ninth Division, to
keep all mule carts out of the town
of Adano. Guards were posted at
bridge over Rosso River and at
Cacopardo Sulphur Refinery. Order
carried out. On July 20, guards
were removed on order of Major
Victor Joppolo. . . . "
Captain Purvis banged the fiat of a
hand down on the table.
"Hey, Schultz," he saicl. "Where's
Trapani?"
"Said be was just stepping out
for a couple of minutes, sir, said
he'd be right back. Anything I can

"No. Wait till I get that Trapani."
Trapani came in in a few mitlutes.
"Hey, you, come over here," Captain Purvis said as soon as he arrived.
"Yes, sir," Trapani said.
"What's this?" the Captain said,
and he held out the purple slip.
Trapani took it and looked at it.
"That's the report on the mule cart
situation, sir," Trapani said coolly.
"You told me to make out a report, remember?"
"You're right I remember, and
where did I tell you to send it?"

In its long war-torn history, Verona reached the height of its
magnificence and power under the
rule of the Scaliger family, 1260
to 1387. The Scala palace then became the home of famous poets and
artists, each having his own apartment and servants. Their work
adorns the many old churches and
museum. Banished from Florence,
Dante found temporary as~lum

When you practice the good "Telephone Habits" pictured

crowded with war caHs, and facilities available for civilian use are stretched to the limit•••• Titanic you lor belpingl

China has been experiencing a serious inflation, according to the Alexander Hamilton institute. Tl,is has
been caused by a number of fact-ors. In the first place, China has
lost her most industrialized territories and she has thus been deprived of a number of commodities which were previously produced
within the country. In the second
place, China has been almost entirely cut off from her Allies for a number of years. Consequently, she nas
been unable to import commodities
much needed by the civilian population. In the third place, China's
capacity for producing raw mate·
rials has suffered materially.
These three factors, which have
brought about a great shortage of
civilian goods, h:wc been accompanied by an impairment of China's
ability to collect taxes. Revenues
needed by the government have had
to be raised to a considerable extent through the printing of paper
money. Consequently, both the vol·
ume of currency in circulation and
the volume of bank deposits have
shown a sharp expansion.
The result of these various developments has been a pronounced rise
in commodity prices. So long as
China is unable to obtain an ample
supply of commodities and, particularly, so long as adequate revenue
cannot be obtained from taxes, inflation will continue, causing commodity prices to rise to higher and
hiiher levels.

I ational Farm Safety Week Making
Effort to Reduce Heavy Loss Burden
17,000 Deaths Can
Be Eliminated· in
Agricultural Areas
Farmers and their wives and
children, as a rule, are too busy
producing food for wartime America to have any time to go hunting
for danger and death.
Nevertheless, government safety
officials declare, back home on the
farm is far from being the safest
place in the world to live.
Trouble is, safety engineers point
out, that accidents don't wait for
people to go looking for them. They
just happen. And they happen mostly to people - like farmers - who
are too busy doing an important job
to think about how to avoid accidents.
Calling attention to America's continuing need for the skill and labor
of her farmers, President Truman
said:
"1 urge farm people everywhere
to observe National Farm Safety
week by making a safety check in
their homes and on their farms . . .
I request all persons and organizations concerned with agriculture
and farm life to do evr.rything in
their power to educate farm people
in the proper precautions by which
they may eliminate farm hazards."
President Truman has proclaimed
July 22 to 28 as National Farm
Safety week.
Burns usually rank second in importance on the farm home accident
lis t. Causes include careless smoking, the use of kerosene in starting kitchen fires, placing pans of
boiling liquid too close to the edge
of a'kitchen stove, as well as many
other instances of haste or carelessness, or both.
Records show that if parents
make sure at all times that firearms

S. Goss, master of the National
Grange.
"President Truman's suggestion
that farm people make a safety
check in their homes and on their
farms, if followed, will be the greatest single step that can be taken toward reducing accidents on the
farm," Maynard H. Coe, director
of the farm division of the National
Safety council, said.
He pointed out that the council's
farm accident records, taken from
states that keep a file of statistics
on farm mishaps, clearly indicate
the types of accidents which should
be attacked first in any personal
check-up.
Falls 1\Iost Common.
The records show, for example,
that falls occur in the farm home
far more frequently than any other
type ot accident. Such things as cluttered stairways, unsound ladders,
badly lighted hallways - all of
which can be corrected by good
housekeeping - are major hazards.
Away from the farm, traffic accidents are the most serious menace for farm people. It is expected
that a serious problem will arise
on the highway when traffic again
hits the peak of prewar years, and

Farm Front Casualties
The following figures are based
on statistics from Pearl Harbor
to January 1, 1945. During the
same period, total war casualties
of U. S. forces, both army and
navy, amounted to 764,852. These
figures are for farm residents
only.

and poisons are out of reach of their
children, accidents to children in
the farm home will be considerably
reduced.
Among leading causes ot work accidents on the farm is the improper
use of farm machinery. Knives,
belts, pulleys, gears and the like
are necessarily a part of farm machinery. The greatest caution should
always be exercised in order to operate them without accident to the
person.
Improper handling of animals
causes many farm work accidents.
While bulls are the cause of many
serious injuries, the greatest number of accidents due to careless handling of animals is caused
by horses, records show.
Pledge of Cooperation.
Falls are also high on the list of
farm work accidents. Better housekeeping methods in the farmyard, the barn and other farm
building~ can materially reduce the.
number of accidents attributable to
falls.
Among farm leaders who have
pledged their cooperation in the
work of National Farm Safety week
are Edward S. O'Neal, president of
the American Farm bureau federation; James G. Patton, president of
the National Farmers Union, and A.

greater driving skill and care
than ever before will be needed.
There are many other types of accidents which contribute to the annual toll on the farm, Mr. Coe sa"id,
but the examples given point the
way for both individuals and organizations to make best use of a farm
safety check-up during the week.
Mr. Coe concluded his remarks
by saying that early reports com-

ing into the National Safety council
from many of the 300 organizations
which cooperated in arranging National Farm Safety week activities
in 46 states in 1944 indicate an even
more successful week this year.
Lifetime of the implement has
long been a yardstick whereby farm
machinery care is measured. But
there is a far more important and
better measurement-the lifetime of
the farmer. And that's where the
farm safety program, with its emphasis upon the relationship of the
human factor to the life span of
farm folks, comes in.
With this in mind, manufacturers
of farm equipment are doing a useful job of urging users to take extra
care in handling implements, tractors, or other farm machines.
When the tractor, for instance,
was new and its friends so freely
and correctly forecast the approach
of power farming, it stirred critics
who ranged from mild to bitter. To
catalog the criticisms would be an
endless and unprofitable task; but
that's all out of the book of "Genesis" of power farming. It was soon
proved, again and again, that a tractor produced under good engin eering
and manufacturing auspices would
stand up to the job for which it was
designed. Tractors kept getting better and better. Their betterment
continues.
Maintenance is a big element in
such confidence.
Long ago the
stronger retail implement dealers
assembled good mechanics and organized their shop-service departments. Many sent apprentices, and
senior mechanics as well, to tractor
fq.ctory school11.

To the Peacemakers:
This is a Blueprint for Peace
which me and some of my buddies
made up out of our own heads on
account of we think if we have not
got no right to have views on a
peace who has?
A G.I. gets the creeps at the

Me and my buddies has done a
lot of talking with others and found
they all think the same way which
is that the job of making a bright
new world is not going to get nowhere without the following specifications:
1. The abolition of baloney, bunk,
goose grease, applesauce and what
is commonly called "the old rnaIarkey" from all deliberations.
2. No double talk. (This means
positively.)
3. Night and day illumination of
the goal posts. (And no dimming
of the lights to secretly move the
posts.)
4. A realization of the fact this
world cannot exist half man and
half rat. (Even a 5 per cent rat
quota is too high.)
5 . The same courage by peacemakers that was expected of men
in the fighting planes, mountain
passes, jungles, split trenches and
foxholes, and on all the oce.ans of
the world.
6. The blitzing of any disposition
to gamble the future of the world
on a policy of expediency. No walking in our prewar sleep . . . and no
sleeping on our postwar walks.
7. The creation of some organization to safeguard the peace by
armed co-operation against international cut-throats. You can't keep
out of no free-for-all brawl by pulling down the shades and humming
"Hearts and Flowers."
8. The constant realization that
such a organization must come in

on a paper wing and a prayer, One

when you use it for muffin or
waffle batter. It will make pouring smoother.

When making pies that are likely to be juicy, cut the lower crust
larger than the upper and fold
over like a hem to prevent leaking at the edges.

Saw off the legs of an old wobbly
card table to about 18 inches
long, and use it as a play table for
the children. It can be moved
easily from room to room and
taken also on trips.

As soon as you notice frayed
or worn spots in garments, mend
them. Small holes are easier to
hide than large ones and worn
spots can be kept from tearing if
reinforced with mending in time.

A skillet that has become encrusted with a rough coating
which . cannot be easily scraped
off, may be put into a hot fire or
bed of hot coals and the crust
burned off. In this way the skillet
is lefl!smooth and like new and is
not injured.

3 Presidents in Position
To Pick Their Successors
Until 1886, a law provided that
when the presidency of the United
States was left vacant by one who
had succeeded to it from the vice
presidency, the office was to be assumed temporarily by the president of the senate for the sole purpose of ordering a new election,
says Collier's.
Since 1886, when a new law extended the succession to cabinet
members beginning with the secretary of state, three Presidents
have been in a position to name
their successor in case of their
death-Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge and Truman.

Preserves Bring Bright Cheer for Winter
(See Recipes Below)

Let's Preserve
Wise are the women who gather
their fruits and vegetables and
plan ahead for winter months when
food is scarce. Imagine, if you can,
the thrill of knowing that your canning cupboard holds within it the
provision for several hundred meals,
all the result of your own work.
Last winter the women who put
up pickles and preserves blessed

that caused them

'
ety was at a low
ebb, and chili sauce went into hundreds of meat dishes which otherwise might have lacked for flavor.
Preserves may be served with
meats, fowl or plain bread. Try to
gauge how much sugar you will
have and allot only a portiOfl' of that
for presP.rves this summer as you
will want to use much of the
canning sugar for whole fruit.
To be at their best, preserves
must be cooked in small batches,
anyway in fairly wide pans . There
is no need for skimming preserves
if they are left in the pans for five
minutes after cooking time is finished.
In warm climates where storage
is diOkult. they are best when
processed in a water bath at simmering temperature for 20 minutes.
This will help prevent mold.
Tomato Preserves.
2 pounds tomatoes
4 cups sugar
1 'h cups water
1 lemon
l stick cinnamon
2 pieces ginger root, if desired
Use small, firm red, yellow or
green tomatoes. Scald one minute.
Dip into cold water. Skin but do not
core. Combine sugar, water, lemon
(sliced thin), cinnamon and ginger
and simmer for 20 minutes. Add
tomatoes and boil gently until they
are bright and clear. Cover and let
stand overnight. Pack cold tomatoes mto sterile jars. Boil syrup as
thick as honey and pour over tomatoes. Process in water bath for 15
minutes.
Apricot Preserves.
2 pounds apricots
3~ eups sugar or corn syrup
Wash, peel and halve firm, ripe
apricots . Combine fruit and sugar in
alterna'te layers. Let stand several
hours or overnight. Heat slowly until sugar dissolves, then boil rapidly until fruit is clear. Let stand several hours. Pack cold fruit into sterile jars. Reheat syrup, boiling it

Governors Hear Plans
Pleas for support of a system of
universal military training after the
war were made to the 37th annual
governors' conference at Mackinac

army chief of staff, and Adm. Ernest King, chief of the U. S. fleet.

on Japan, the top leaders of the
army and navy pictured universal
military training as essential to the
future safety of the United States.
The two chieftains warned that if
there should be another world war,
it would come swiftly, without time
or opportunity to train a large a'('my.

THE STORY THUS FAR: The AmPrl·

Sergeant Borth was In charge of security. The Major was determined to
hold the confidence of the people and to
replace the town bell stolen by the Nazis.
De~plte orders Issued by General Mar·

Joppolo recalled the order, to permit
food and water to enter the city. r.t.
Cacopardo came to the Major ask.ing for
permission to see General l\larvin, and
deliver Information on Important Ger·
man troop movements. He was given his
pass and set out for the General's bead·
quarters. He was determined to aid
tbe i\merlcans a,alnsl the Nazis.

Colonel Middleton walked in just
as the General let the knife go off
his forehead. The surprise of Colonel Middleton's entrance was just
enough to throw the General off
his aim, and the knife clattered on
the table and did not stick in. This
annoyed the General.
"Haven't I told you to knock, Middleton?"
"Yes, sir. There's an old Italian
here wants to see you."
"Middleton, what's the matter
with you? Didn't I tell you I didn't
want to see any more Italians?"
"Yes, sir. But this one seems to

The corporal of the guard came

he said.
He led Cacopardo to a man at
a desk.
"Name," the man said gloomily.
"Cacopardo."
"Is that a first name, or a last
name?" the sour man said.
"That is the name of my family,"
Cacopardo said.
"How you spell that?"
Cacopardo spelled it out. The man
wrote laboriously: Cacaporato.

"You got to spell those Dago

Cacopardo spelled it and the man
misspelled it.
"Who you want to see?"
"General Marvin."
''You haven't got a chance of seeing him," the man said. "There's a
war going on, Dago. What you want
to see the General about?''
Cacopardo reached in his pocket
!or the tissue paper. "I can show
you where are the Germans,'' he
said.
"You'll have to talk with G-two
about that," the man said, and he
pointed with his pencil. "First door
&lt;&gt;n the right, where it says Colonel
Henderson."
Cacopardo went to the door
marked Colonel Henderson, and he
knocked.
"Walk in," a voice shouted.
''General Marvin?" Cacopardo
asked.
"Upstairs, upstairs," the impatient voice, which belonged to a full
colonel, said. Cacopardo started out.
"Say, wait a minute."
Cacopardo turned around. The
Colonel said: "Who are you, anyway?"
"Cacopardo Matteo, I was sent to
see General Marvin."
"General Marvin doesn't like Italians," the Colonel said. "What do
you want to see him about? You
better not ask him for any favors,
he'll kick you out, personally, himself."
Cacopardo reached in his pocket
for the tissue paper. "I can show
you where are the Germans," he
1 said.
"You've got no business taking
that kind of thing to General Marvin. What do you think we have a
G-two section for around here? You
can just show that to me."
"I was sent to see General Marvin. That is the one I am going to
see."
After an argument with Colonel
Henderson, Cacopardo was sent upstairs under guard, was stopped and
questioned by a sentry at the head
of the stairs, was sen,t downstairs
because he did not have a proper
Division pass, was given a pass,
was taken upstairs again, was questioned as to age, religion, political
beliefs and sex by a sergeant, was

Colonel Middleton, the General's
Chief of Staff, was questioned by
Colonel Middleton's secretary, who
thought the Colonel was busy, was
finally admitted to Colonel Middleton, who, after an argument, agreed
to see whether the General would
see Cacopardo, which he doubted.
At the moment, General Marvin
was playing mumble-te-peg with
Lieutenant Byrd, his aide. They
'had found that a certain mahogany
table took the knife beautifully. The
General had just reached the double
fl•r off the forehead.

~'ts1t

"You are a barbarian," he said.
it General Marvin had known that
Salatiello had been thirteen years
dead. The General could not possibly have been more outraged. He
bellowed at the walls, "who is this
wop, anyhow?"
"That table was made circa 1775,
when your country had not even begun to existed, barbarian. It was
carved by Vincenzio di Lucca of
Parma. I cannot calculate the
values of that table. You are a
pig to chop and pick at it."
The General shouted: "Take this
crazy wop out of here."
Colonel Middleton and Lieutenant
Byrd rushed into the room. They
grabbed old Cacopardo, and started
to push him out.
"Wait!" the General roared,
"Who sent that idiot here, Middleton?"
"I don't know, sir, it was some
Major."
"You don't know? It's your busi·
ness to know."
Colonel Middleton asked Cacopardo: "Who was it who sent you
here?"
"My friend Major Joppolo, who is
not a barbarian."
Colonel Middleton said: "What
unit is this Major from?"
"Adano, from Adano," old Cacopardo said. "From my home, Adano."
"Adano,'' the General shouted.
"There's something about that
place. What is it about Adano, Middleton? What is it?"
"The cart, General," Colonel Middleton said. Colonel Middleton would
never forget Adano as long as he
lived.
"The cart? What cart? Don't talk
in riddles, Middleton. What cart?"
"The cart that we threw off the
road, sir. The mule we shot, sir."
General Marvin remembered, and
the memory turned his face a shade
darker. "So that's the Major who
sent you," he roared. "What was
that name again? I want to remember that name."
"Joppolo," Middleton said.
General Marvin shouted: "JoppoIo. Write that down, Middleton, remember that name. That Major's
a wop, too. I remember now, he's
a wop himself, isn't he, Middleton?"

In the interests of justice, Colonel
Middleton said: "I don't remember,
sir."
General Marvin shouted: "Well, I
do. Now throw this crazy Italian
out of here, and if you let any
more Italians in here, Middleton,
I'll break you back to a second lieutenant."
"Yes, sir," Colonel Middleton said.
As they started to run him out,
Cacopardo said: "But I have informations. I can tell you where are
the Germans. It is important. The
Germans, the Germans."
But the General was much too
far gone in rage. Cacopardo was
taken out and sent home.
He
couldn't get anyone, not even the
sentry at the front gate, to listen
to a description of the German positions before Pinnaro.
Behind Major J oppolo's back,
Captain Purvis was very critical
of him. To his face, the Captain
was cordial, even friendly.
The two men now had, besides
their mere community of tongue .
another thing to draw them togeth.
er: they both knew the same girls.
In a foreign land, that is enough
to make Damon and Pythias out of
two sworn enemies.
One day at lunch they talked
about the girls. They talked as
American men do talk about girls
when they are abroad.
The Captain said: "That younger
one, that Francesca, she sure is
nice."
"Just a matter of taste," the Major said.
"Yeah," the Captain said. "What
do you say we go up there tonight
and see 'em?"
"Let's do that," the Major said.
"That would be fun." Then he wondered why he had reacted so quickly and so happily to the Captain's
suggestion. The Captain's attitude
toward these girls disgusted the Ma·
jor. The Captain regarded the girls
as trash; he seemed to think of
them as something to buy and sell,
like Italian watermelon and grapes
and red wine. The Major refused to
believe that he was falling into this
way of thinking.
And so it happened that the two
dissimilar men went that evening to
the house at 9 Via Vittorio Emanuele with very similar feelings of
excitement and anticipation.
Major Joppolo and Captain Purvis
caught the family of Tomasino by
surprise that evening. The fat Rosa
was sitting on the living room floor
plucking a chicken, and there were
feathers all over the room. The
radio was on, and the two little
daughters of the sister who was in
Rome were sitting by it, also on
the floor. Francesca and Tina were
in brightly colored pajamas, lying
on the floor side by side, reading to·
gether a cheap Italian romance
called "Un Cuore in Tre." Tomasino, who opened the front door,
grimly led the two Americans into
the room without any advance notice.
Everyone jumped up, the little
girls squealing, fat Rosa calling the
name of the Lord in English, and
the big girls shouting greetings to
the Americans.
The family of Tomasino and their
guests spent the next five minutes
on their hands and knees picking up
the chicken feathers. When that
was done Rosa said to Tomasino:
"Sad one, put the girls to bed."
Tomasino led the little ones out
without gentleness. Rosa retired to
the kitchen with the feathers and
the bird, to finish her job.
As soon as the two officers and
the two girls in pajamas were left
alone, Tina said: "Mister Major, I
want to talk with you,'' and she
stretched out her hand for his and
led him into her bedroom. Captain
Purvis's sober shouts followed them
this time: "Hey, don't desert me. I
can't talk to this lovely thing. Where
you going?" And he subsided, and
settled down for an evening of desperate sign language.
Tina sat down on her bed and
the Major sat down on a chair by
a wooden dressing table.
"I want to ask you something,
Mister Major," Tina said.
"Yes?" the Major said. He did
not know what to expect, but he
expected it would please him, whatever it was.
"How long do you think the war
will last? Here on Italian soil, I
mean."
The Major found that he was not
pleased. "That's a very serious
question," he said. "Let's not talk
about war. That's all I have all
day long, war, war, war."
"But I have a special reason for
wanting to know," Tina said. "How
long do you think it will last?"
"How should I know?" the Major asked. His voice was a little
testy. "If I knew that, I would
have to know a lot more about our
plans for the campaign, and if I
knew the plans, I would know military secrets, and I couldn't tell you
secrets if I knew them."
"But you can guess, Mister Major."
"All right, I guess two more
months."
"And how long do you think it will
be after those two months before
our Italian prisoners of war are released?"
Major Joppolo got the point very
quickly, and it did not please birr
in the least. "You have a swee!
[heart who has been captured?"

Cohune • ut
The oil from the cohunf' nut, na
tive to Middle America, is even
more valuable than coconut oil, because it is edible and is easily employed in the manufncture of fine
soaps and nut butters. It wns first
brought to the attention of the
United States during World War I.
American chemists proved that the
ahell of the cohune nut when converted to charcoal was a superior
filler for gas masks, because the
charred shell hnd unusual absorbent

Your child's school lunch is import:mt! Unless he gets milk as a bev•
erage at three meals it is difficult to
get in his quart a day. Also, because of the child's smaller stomach
capacity, dividing his food fairly
equally between all three meals ia
much better than having him "catch
up" at a heavy dinner a&amp; night.
Packed lunches are apt to be monotonous and unbalanced unless milk,
fruit and vegetables are included.
Highly seasoned foods, stimulating
beverages, and sweets should have
very little place in the child's diet.
Fruit or milk desserts may be added occasionally.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD. CRETE. ILL.

I ational Farm Safety Week Making
Effort to Reduce Heavy Loss Burden
17,000 Deaths Can
Be Eliminated· in
Agricultural Areas
Farmers and their wives and
children, as a rule, are too busy
producing food for wartime America to have any time to go hunting
for danger and death.
Nevertheless, government safety
officials declare, back home on the
farm is far from being the safest
place in the world to live.
Trouble is, safety engineers point
out, that accidents don't wait for
people to go looking for them. They
just happen. And they happen mostly to people - like farmers - who
are too busy doing an important job
to think about how to avoid accidents.
Calling attention to America's continuing need for the skill and labor
of her farmers, President Truman
said:
"1 urge farm people everywhere
to observe National Farm Safety
week by making a safety check in
their homes and on their farms . . .
I request all persons and organizations concerned with agriculture
and farm life to do evr.rything in
their power to educate farm people
in the proper precautions by which
they may eliminate farm hazards."
President Truman has proclaimed
July 22 to 28 as National Farm
Safety week.
Burns usually rank second in importance on the farm home accident
lis t. Causes include careless smoking, the use of kerosene in starting kitchen fires, placing pans of
boiling liquid too close to the edge
of a'kitchen stove, as well as many
other instances of haste or carelessness, or both.
Records show that if parents
make sure at all times that firearms

S. Goss, master of the National
Grange.
"President Truman's suggestion
that farm people make a safety
check in their homes and on their
farms, if followed, will be the greatest single step that can be taken toward reducing accidents on the
farm," Maynard H. Coe, director
of the farm division of the National
Safety council, said.
He pointed out that the council's
farm accident records, taken from
states that keep a file of statistics
on farm mishaps, clearly indicate
the types of accidents which should
be attacked first in any personal
check-up.
Falls 1\Iost Common.
The records show, for example,
that falls occur in the farm home
far more frequently than any other
type ot accident. Such things as cluttered stairways, unsound ladders,
badly lighted hallways - all of
which can be corrected by good
housekeeping - are major hazards.
Away from the farm, traffic accidents are the most serious menace for farm people. It is expected
that a serious problem will arise
on the highway when traffic again
hits the peak of prewar years, and

Farm Front Casualties
The following figures are based
on statistics from Pearl Harbor
to January 1, 1945. During the
same period, total war casualties
of U. S. forces, both army and
navy, amounted to 764,852. These
figures are for farm residents
only.

and poisons are out of reach of their
children, accidents to children in
the farm home will be considerably
reduced.
Among leading causes ot work accidents on the farm is the improper
use of farm machinery. Knives,
belts, pulleys, gears and the like
are necessarily a part of farm machinery. The greatest caution should
always be exercised in order to operate them without accident to the
person.
Improper handling of animals
causes many farm work accidents.
While bulls are the cause of many
serious injuries, the greatest number of accidents due to careless handling of animals is caused
by horses, records show.
Pledge of Cooperation.
Falls are also high on the list of
farm work accidents. Better housekeeping methods in the farmyard, the barn and other farm
building~ can materially reduce the.
number of accidents attributable to
falls.
Among farm leaders who have
pledged their cooperation in the
work of National Farm Safety week
are Edward S. O'Neal, president of
the American Farm bureau federation; James G. Patton, president of
the National Farmers Union, and A.

There are many other types of accidents which contribute to the annual toll on the farm, Mr. Coe sa"id,
but the examples given point the
way for both individuals and organizations to make best use of a farm
safety check-up during the week.
Mr. Coe concluded his remarks

ing into the National Safety council
from many of the 300 organizations
which cooperated in arranging National Farm Safety week activities
in 46 states in 1944 indicate an even
more successful week this year.
Lifetime of the implement has
long been a yardstick whereby farm
machinery care is measured. But
there is a far more important and
better measurement-the lifetime of
the farmer. And that's where the
farm safety program, with its emphasis upon the relationship of the
human factor to the life span of
farm folks, comes in.
With this in mind, manufacturers
of farm equipment are doing a useful job of urging users to take extra
care in handling implements, tractors, or other farm machines.
When the tractor, for instance,
was new and its friends so freely
and correctly forecast the approach
of power farming, it stirred critics
who ranged from mild to bitter. To
catalog the criticisms would be an
endless and unprofitable task; but
that's all out of the book of "Genesis" of power farming. It was soon
proved, again and again, that a tractor produced under good engin eering
and manufacturing auspices would
stand up to the job for which it was
designed. Tractors kept getting better and better. Their betterment
continues.
Maintenance is a big element in
such confidence.
Long ago the
stronger retail implement dealers
assembled good mechanics and organized their shop-service departments. Many sent apprentices, and
senior mechanics as well, to tractor
fq.ctory school11.
Farm Safety Plan.

To the Peacemakers:
This is a Blueprint for Peace
which me and some of my buddies
made up out of our own heads on
account of we think if we have not
got no right to have views on a
peace who has?

no better than "No Smoking" signs

another peace will turn out to be
just a rest period in a slaughter
house.
Me and my buddies has done a
lot of talking with others and found
they all think the same way which
is that the job of making a bright
new world is not going to get nowhere without the following specifications:
1. The abolition of baloney, bunk,
goose grease, applesauce and what
is commonly called "the old rnaIarkey" from all deliberations.
2. No double talk. (This means
positively.)
3. Night and day illumination of
the goal posts. (And no dimming
of the lights to secretly move the
posts.)
4. A realization of the fact this
world cannot exist half man and
half rat. (Even a 5 per cent rat
quota is too high.)
5 . The same courage by peacemakers that was expected of men
in the fighting planes, mountain
passes, jungles, split trenches and
foxholes, and on all the oce.ans of
the world.
6. The blitzing of any disposition
to gamble the future of the world
on a policy of expediency. No walking in our prewar sleep . . . and no
sleeping on our postwar walks.
7. The creation of some organization to safeguard the peace by
armed co-operation against international cut-throats. You can't keep
out of no free-for-all brawl by pulling down the shades and humming
"Hearts and Flowers."
8. The constant realization that
such a organization must come in

on a paper wing and a prayer, One
more Geneva rabbit rhumba will
make the alert signal the main dependence of civilized man.
9. An approach to all problems in

To Pick Their Successors
Until 1886, a law provided that
when the presidency of the United
States was left vacant by one who
had succeeded to it from the vice
presidency, the office was to be assumed temporarily by the president of the senate for the sole purpose of ordering a new election,
says Collier's.
Since 1886, when a new law extended the succession to cabinet
members beginning with the secretary of state, three Presidents
have been in a position to name
their successor in case of their
death-Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge and Truman.

vln, barring carts from the city, Major
Joppolo recalled the order, to permit
food and water to enter the city. r.t.
Cacopardo came to the Major ask.ing for
permission to see General l\larvin, and
deliver Information on Important Ger·
man troop movements. He was given his
pass and set out for the General's bead·
quarters. He was determined to aid
tbe i\merlcans a,alnsl the Nazis.

Colonel Middleton walked in just
as the General let the knife go off
his forehead. The surprise of Colonel Middleton's entrance was just
enough to throw the General off
his aim, and the knife clattered on
the table and did not stick in. This
annoyed the General.
"Haven't I told you to knock, Middleton?"
"Yes, sir. There's an old Italian
here wants to see you."
"Middleton, what's the matter
with you? Didn't I tell you I didn't
want to see any more Italians?"
"Yes, sir. But this one seems to
be above the average. He was sent
to you by one of our people. He

The sentry took the pass. "Brother, I doubt if you can see the General right now," he said. "He don't
like to see no one in the mornings.
You stand here a minute." The
.sentry called the corporal of the
guard.
The corporal of the guard came
right back. "This way, brother,"
he said.
He led Cacopardo to a man at
a desk.
"Name," the man said gloomily.
"Cacopardo."
"Is that a first name, or a last
name?" the sour man said.
"That is the name of my family,"
Cacopardo said.
"How you spell that?"
Cacopardo spelled it out. The man
wrote laboriously: Cacaporato.
"First name," the unhappy man
£aid.
''Matteo."
"You got to spell those Dago
1.a1nes."

Cacopardo spelled it and the man
misspelled it.
"Who you want to see?"
"General Marvin."
''You haven't got a chance of seeing him," the man said. "There's a
war going on, Dago. What you want
to see the General about?''
Cacopardo reached in his pocket
!or the tissue paper. "I can show
you where are the Germans,'' he
said.
"You'll have to talk with G-two
about that," the man said, and he
pointed with his pencil. "First door
&lt;&gt;n the right, where it says Colonel
Henderson."
Cacopardo went to the door
marked Colonel Henderson, and he
knocked.
"Walk in," a voice shouted.
''General Marvin?" Cacopardo
asked.
"Upstairs, upstairs," the impatient voice, which belonged to a full
colonel, said. Cacopardo started out.
"Say, wait a minute."
Cacopardo turned around. The
Colonel said: "Who are you, anyway?"
"Cacopardo Matteo, I was sent to
see General Marvin."
"General Marvin doesn't like Italians," the Colonel said. "What do
you want to see him about? You
better not ask him for any favors,
he'll kick you out, personally, himself."
Cacopardo reached in his pocket
for the tissue paper. "I can show
you where are the Germans," he
1 said.
"You've got no business taking
that kind of thing to General Marvin. What do you think we have a
G-two section for around here? You
can just show that to me."
"I was sent to see General Marvin. That is the one I am going to
see."
After an argument with Colonel
Henderson, Cacopardo was sent upstairs under guard, was stopped and
questioned by a sentry at the head
of the stairs, was sen,t downstairs
because he did not have a proper
Division pass, was given a pass,
was taken upstairs again, was questioned as to age, religion, political
beliefs and sex by a sergeant, was
interviewed by a staff officer who
doubted whether the General would
be free to see him, was referred to
Colonel Middleton, the General's
Chief of Staff, was questioned by
Colonel Middleton's secretary, who
thought the Colonel was busy, was
finally admitted to Colonel Middleton, who, after an argument, agreed
to see whether the General would
see Cacopardo, which he doubted.
At the moment, General Marvin
was playing mumble-te-peg with
Lieutenant Byrd, his aide. They
'had found that a certain mahogany
table took the knife beautifully. The
General had just reached the double
fl•r off the forehead.

~'ts1t

"You are a barbarian," he said.
it General Marvin had known that
Salatiello had been thirteen years
dead. The General could not possibly have been more outraged. He
bellowed at the walls, "who is this
wop, anyhow?"
"That table was made circa 1775,
when your country had not even begun to existed, barbarian. It was
carved by Vincenzio di Lucca of
Parma. I cannot calculate the
values of that table. You are a
pig to chop and pick at it."
The General shouted: "Take this
crazy wop out of here."
Colonel Middleton and Lieutenant
Byrd rushed into the room. They
grabbed old Cacopardo, and started
to push him out.
"Wait!" the General roared,
"Who sent that idiot here, Middleton?"
"I don't know, sir, it was some
Major."
"You don't know? It's your busi·
ness to know."
Colonel Middleton asked Cacopardo: "Who was it who sent you
here?"
"My friend Major Joppolo, who is
not a barbarian."
Colonel Middleton said: "What
unit is this Major from?"
"Adano, from Adano," old Cacopardo said. "From my home, Adano."
"Adano,'' the General shouted.
"There's something about that
place. What is it about Adano, Middleton? What is it?"
"The cart, General," Colonel Middleton said. Colonel Middleton would
never forget Adano as long as he
lived.
"The cart? What cart? Don't talk
in riddles, Middleton. What cart?"
"The cart that we threw off the
road, sir. The mule we shot, sir."
General Marvin remembered, and
the memory turned his face a shade
darker. "So that's the Major who
sent you," he roared. "What was
that name again? I want to remember that name."
"Joppolo," Middleton said.
General Marvin shouted: "JoppoIo. Write that down, Middleton, remember that name. That Major's
a wop, too. I remember now, he's
a wop himself, isn't he, Middleton?"

In the interests of justice, Colonel
Middleton said: "I don't remember,
sir."
General Marvin shouted: "Well, I
do. Now throw this crazy Italian
out of here, and if you let any
more Italians in here, Middleton,
I'll break you back to a second lieutenant."
"Yes, sir," Colonel Middleton said.
As they started to run him out,
Cacopardo said: "But I have informations. I can tell you where are
the Germans. It is important. The
Germans, the Germans."
But the General was much too
far gone in rage. Cacopardo was
taken out and sent home.
He
couldn't get anyone, not even the
sentry at the front gate, to listen
to a description of the German positions before Pinnaro.
Behind Major J oppolo's back,
Captain Purvis was very critical
of him. To his face, the Captain
was cordial, even friendly.
The two men now had, besides
their mere community of tongue .
another thing to draw them togeth.
er: they both knew the same girls.
In a foreign land, that is enough
to make Damon and Pythias out of
two sworn enemies.
One day at lunch they talked
about the girls. They talked as
American men do talk about girls
when they are abroad.
The Captain said: "That younger
one, that Francesca, she sure is
nice."
"Just a matter of taste," the Major said.
"Yeah," the Captain said. "What
do you say we go up there tonight
and see 'em?"
"Let's do that," the Major said.
"That would be fun." Then he wondered why he had reacted so quickly and so happily to the Captain's
suggestion. The Captain's attitude
toward these girls disgusted the Ma·
jor. The Captain regarded the girls
as trash; he seemed to think of
them as something to buy and sell,
like Italian watermelon and grapes
and red wine. The Major refused to
believe that he was falling into this
way of thinking.
And so it happened that the two
dissimilar men went that evening to
the house at 9 Via Vittorio Emanuele with very similar feelings of
excitement and anticipation.
Major Joppolo and Captain Purvis
caught the family of Tomasino by
surprise that evening. The fat Rosa
was sitting on the living room floor
plucking a chicken, and there were
feathers all over the room. The
radio was on, and the two little
daughters of the sister who was in
Rome were sitting by it, also on
the floor. Francesca and Tina were
in brightly colored pajamas, lying
on the floor side by side, reading to·
gether a cheap Italian romance
called "Un Cuore in Tre." Tomasino, who opened the front door,
grimly led the two Americans into
the room without any advance notice.
Everyone jumped up, the little
girls squealing, fat Rosa calling the
name of the Lord in English, and
the big girls shouting greetings to
the Americans.
The family of Tomasino and their
guests spent the next five minutes
on their hands and knees picking up
the chicken feathers. When that
was done Rosa said to Tomasino:
"Sad one, put the girls to bed."
Tomasino led the little ones out
without gentleness. Rosa retired to
the kitchen with the feathers and
the bird, to finish her job.
As soon as the two officers and
the two girls in pajamas were left
alone, Tina said: "Mister Major, I
want to talk with you,'' and she
stretched out her hand for his and
led him into her bedroom. Captain
Purvis's sober shouts followed them
this time: "Hey, don't desert me. I
can't talk to this lovely thing. Where
you going?" And he subsided, and
settled down for an evening of desperate sign language.
Tina sat down on her bed and
the Major sat down on a chair by
a wooden dressing table.
"I want to ask you something,
Mister Major," Tina said.
"Yes?" the Major said. He did
not know what to expect, but he
expected it would please him, whatever it was.
"How long do you think the war
will last? Here on Italian soil, I
mean."
The Major found that he was not
pleased. "That's a very serious
question," he said. "Let's not talk
about war. That's all I have all
day long, war, war, war."
"But I have a special reason for
wanting to know," Tina said. "How
long do you think it will last?"
"How should I know?" the Major asked. His voice was a little
testy. "If I knew that, I would
have to know a lot more about our
plans for the campaign, and if I
knew the plans, I would know military secrets, and I couldn't tell you
secrets if I knew them."
"But you can guess, Mister Major."
"All right, I guess two more
months."
"And how long do you think it will
be after those two months before
our Italian prisoners of war are released?"
Major Joppolo got the point very
quickly, and it did not please birr
in the least. "You have a swee!
[heart who has been captured?"

Your child's school lunch is import:mt! Unless he gets milk as a bev•
erage at three meals it is difficult to
get in his quart a day. Also, because of the child's smaller stomach
capacity, dividing his food fairly
equally between all three meals ia
much better than having him "catch
up" at a heavy dinner a&amp; night.
Packed lunches are apt to be monotonous and unbalanced unless milk,
fruit and vegetables are included.
Highly seasoned foods, stimulating
beverages, and sweets should have
very little place in the child's diet.
Fruit or milk desserts may be added occasionally.

T'S the women who rule the
box-office destiny of the
movies, according to Hunt
Stromberg, who's been making good movies for years, and
now has his own producing
company. Women form a
large pa.rt of the audience,

I

says he, and also determine to what
movies their men shall take them.
Not that he ignores the males in his
appeal to the public! "Young Widow," costarring Jane Russell and
Louis Hayward, is intended to entertain both sexes. But Stromberg
likes feminine titles - "Dishonored
Lady" is on his list, and "Strange
Woman," and his first independent
picture was "Lady of Burlesque."
And credit him with giving Joan
Crawford, Myrna Loy and Rosalind
Russell a big push toward stardom.

the biggest dividends. Not only
are fruits a good
source of vitamins and minerals, but they will
enable you to
save hundreds of
points this year
as they did last
year.
Since rationing began, fruits hav&amp;
always carried a high ration value,
and yet,_they are essential and convenient to serve for breakfast,
luncheon and dinner. Fruits may
be canned with or without sugar, but
the fruit will mellow and ripen in
the jars much more satisfactorily if
a sugar syrup is used. With syrups
plentiful, part, usually half, of it is
sweetened with a light or dark com
syrup. Honey may be substituted
for one-half the sugar, also. It will
darken the fruit and give it a somewhat stronger flavor, but it is good.
Only fruits that are good in flavor,
uniformly ripened and firm in texture should find their way to the
jar. Just as it is true of any other
canning and preserving, you get
only what you put into the can. Canning is designed for preserving the
fruit, not tor improving poor quality
produce.
When large fruits such as peaches,
_pears or apples are canned, they
require peeling and should be placed
in brine (2 teaspoons salt to 1 quart
()f water) to prevent them from
turning dark while peeling.
The open kettle method for canning fruit has been a favorite among
homemakers for
many generations
because it gives
-such
attractive
resvlts. However,
thF&gt; hot water
bath has found
many users because the danger
-of spoilage is reduced to a minimum and the appearance of the fruit still retains its
shape, flavor and texture. On the
table, time is also given for processing in the pressure cooker if one is
available, but it is not essential for
fruit canning as it is for vegetable
preserving. ,
Syrup Making Guide.
Thin syrups for fruit canning will
be most popular this year because

LYNN SAYS
Fruit Canning Tips: Fruit
sometimes discolors at the top of
the jar if the fruit is under-ripe
or when accurate processing
time or temperature is not
maintained. Discoloration of the
top layers of the fruit is caused
by oxidation which means that
air has not been expelled from
the jar by the heat of processing.
If food is packed too solidly or
jars filled to overflowing instead
of to within a half inch of the
top, some of the liquid may boil
out of the jars during processing.
Canning powders and preservatives are not necessary in the
canning procedure.

of the sugar shortage. For this type,
use 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water.
Heat the sugar and liquid together
until sugar is dissolved and syrup
is boiling. Or, use lh cup corn
syrup (light or dark) or lh cup honey
with lh cup sugar.
Medium type syrup is good for
most fruits and berries, but it requires a little more sugar. The proportion is 2 cups water to 1 cup sugar, or half corn syrup or honey and
half of the amount in sugar.
In past years, peaches and pears
and some of the other fruits have
always been canned with a thick
syrup-1 cup water to 1 cup sugat.
Don't feel that you cannot can if the
sugar doesn't reach around for this
type of syrup. A thin or medium
syrup can do the job.
Packing Jars.
Fruits, berries and tomatoes
(which are considered a fruit for
canning purposes) are delicate in
texture and high in juice content.
They should be packed solidly in
the jar to prevent undue shrinkage
and consequent "empty" appearance after processing. Precooking
of the fruit is suggested because it
shrinks the fruit or berry and enables you to get more in the jar. It
takes a little bit longer to can by
precooking, but the results are worth
the effort.
Jars should be filled to within ¥2
inch of the top. If tightly packed up
to this point, fruit and berries will
rarely float after processing, and the
jars will have a much nicer appearance because they are full of fruit.
Make sure the rims of the jar are
not chipped as this will prevent ll
perfect seal. It's a good idea, too,
to wipe the rims after the fruit and
syrup are added so that no particles of food or juice stick to them to
prevent them. from sealing properly.
Making a Bot Water Bath.
A water bath canner may be
made from a wash boiler or any
other large deep vessel that has a
close fitting cover and is deep
enough to permit the jars to stand
upright and still have enough water
to come an inch or two above the
jars. This water should be kept
boiling during the entire processing
period. It should never be allowed
to boil away enough to come less
than 1 inch above the jars. If necessary have a kettle of boiling water on the range, beside the water
bath, to replenish the supply in the
canner.
A rack which will hold the jars lh
inch from the bottom of the kettle
is also essential. The jars should
be set wide enough apart to allow
for free circulation of water.
How do you count processing
time? As soon as the water starts
boiling briskly
around the filled
jars is the rule.
The times given
on the above table are tested
and accurate. Set
the clock with an alarm, if necessary, and do not try to whittle it
down. As soon as the processing
period is up, remove the jars and
place on several thicknesses of cloth
or newspaper in a place free from
drafts and allow to cool. Then store
in a cool, dry place. The jars should
be set far enough apart to allow for
free circulation of air to bring them
to room temperature as quickly as
possible.

The auto to auto telephone is near
at hand. The American Telephone
and Telegraph company announces
that it will soon be in operation together with house to car and office
to car phone talks.

Add the telephone call to the red
light, the detour sign, the motorcycle cop and the federal car tax,
and what have you got? Certainly
not added comfort.

FARMERS, ranchers, dairymen
and all others in the agricultural
industry, both in the production and
processing fields, must , have confidence in their government . . . must
have faith that their government will
stand by every commitment made
to them in full . . . and go ahead
for the fullest production of foodstuffs possible.
This is the message to agriculture from Clinton P. Anderson, tall,
lanky westerner, and new secretary
of agriculture in the administration
of President Truman.
The new secretary, a rancherfarmer-business man, is determined
that farmers will
not suffer in their
patriotic efforts for
all - out production
. . . that support
prices will be sufficient and over-all
to insure adequate
prices . . . that
there will be no
huge surplus which
will bog down prices
. . . that consumer

ually be eliminated
as upward pressures on prices relax
. . . that agreed requirements from
agriculture represent obligations
which )]lust be carried through . .•
that adequate manpower and machinery for the farm must be given
priority ... and that the government
must take necessary steps to provide adequate transportation facilities to move groups and foodstuffs,
perishables and livestock, and the
movement of manpower to areas
where there is an acute labor shortage.
This, briefly, is the program which
this new, dynamic figure in the department of agriculture has set for
himsel! and the agricultural industry for the immediate months ahead.
He is no novice a t the job he has
undertaken. As chairman of the
special committee of the house to
investigate food shortages, he traveled the country from coast to
coast, heard innumerable witnesses
on all sides of every question and after weeks of consideration, he and
his committee came up with a set
of recommendations, most of which
have now been enacted into law.

Long Range Program Too
And while Anderson is immediately concerned with the ptoduction of
foodstuffs for the war period, he has
not lost sight of the long-range program to which the farmer is looking
for the postwar years. Mr. Anderson will be secretary of agriculture for the next 3% years. There
is a probability that 2% and maybe
more, of those years will be postwar
years. At any rate, with his characteristic thoroughness, he already
has a committee of agricultural experts at work studying basic agricultural problems with the idea of
bringing forth a set of recommendations for the postwar period.
This reporter would say. after
an interview with Mr. Anderson,
and a study of his work in congress, that the new secretary has
his feet solidly on the ground,
that he is not given to going off
half-cocked, that he studies every side of a question and that
once his mind is made up he
will use every resource and all
his ability to carry through his
program.

While he would not commit himself as to the Triple A program, he
did say that the Triple A program,
with the exception of soil conservation, had been pretty well laid on
the shelf during these war years
and for the postwar period he indicated that the crop adjustment program would have to be analyzed
thoroughly and that he already had
a committee a t work doing just that.

Interested in Parity
By congressional action, however,
farm ers have been guaranteed a
price for their products, or most of
them, at 90 per cent of parity for
two years after the end of the war
and Mr. Anderson is particularly interested in adequate support prices
to maintain this price. Furthermore,
support prices are not costing the
government anything at this time,
since prices of commodities are well
above the prices set. It is only when
commodity prices start falling for
any reason, that the support price
will hard the farmer up from ruinous prices.
Anderson is not anticipating any
huge surpluses, but nevertheless he
is taking no chances on the so-called
reconversion period when army and
other huge government buyers start
cut-backs in food purchases. For
this reason he is now starting conversations seeking to taper off, rather
than cut-off, army purchases, and
lend lease.
Consumer subsidies, he looks
upon as temporart expediencies,
and very temporary at that. Be
is not in favor of such subsidies
as a governmental policy In
peacetime.

Trained Pilots and Plenty
Of Improved Planes for
Everyday Needs of All
By Walter A. Shead
WNU Washington Correspondent.
How about having those spare
binder parts dropped in your farm
lot by parachute? Or how about calling up and having a flying ambulance deliver you to the nearest hospital for that emergency operation?
Or jl you are in a hurry for that
order you placed, call up and have
them deliver it at your gate by
helicopter. Ridiculous, you say.
Well, not so ridiculous as you may
think for the amazing progress of
air t;ansportation during the war is
reflected in these very practical
steps for a new horizon for commercial operations as soon as peace
permits.
As a matter of fact, the Civil
Aeronautics administration in the department of commerce has on file
at this moment applications for
these and many more new types
of civilian air business and these
applications afford a stimulating
picture of what the plane may soon
be doing to advance new progress in
American life and manner of living.
Old and new hands at the flying
game, including many veterans still
in uniform, have formed enterprises now simply waiting for the
official green light to serve the public in many ways that would have
been thought ridiculous or visionary
a few years ago. For instance, some
of the applications include:
Flying ambulance and funeral
planes . . . armored airships for
safe dispatch of currency and other
valuables . . . delivery of new automobiles by huge glider trains . . .
tank planes for shipment of gasoline, oil and other liquids . . . bus
and taxi service . . . deliveries of
medicine, food and of other department store merchandise . . . "fly.
yourself" systems . . . sightseeing
specialists . . . pick-up or delivery
by parachute . . . and many others.
These projects are in addition to
applications for wide extension of
service into new territories sought
by existing airlines and the entry
of others into the fields of feeder,
pick-up, general express and cargo
business.
Start New Enterprises.
Applicants for certificates for
these new enterprises cover the
whole range of people who have
been stirred to action by faith in the
future of air transportation. In the
active dockets of the department are
the names of companies· and individuals with experience in transporting persons and property by air.
There are others who have had
equally broad background in transportation by steamship, bus, taxicab and truck and there are still
others, such as department store
owners, who are obviously strong in
financial resources, but who have
never, perhaps, even delivered their
own parcels.
Then there are the embryo airline magnates, like the man and his
wife who want to start an air freight
line between Los Angeles and New
York, and for specifications for
their fleet, submitted colored cutouts of a Liberator botnber from a
Sunday supplement. As a matter of
fact, practically all the applications
state in more or less apologetic
terms that the applicants have no
planes with which to start business.
But since practically none will be
available until after the war, they
are all on an equal basis from that
standpoint.

This is just one of the many items that will be handled almost entirely m
postwar era by the new and existing taxi and air freight lines.

proposes to begin with transport of
mail and later of persons and
property on two circulating rout~s
covering hitherto none too accessible places in Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona.
The proposed air ambulance service, no doubt, had its inspiration
from the remarkable operations in
evacuation of wounded by t he air
transport command of the army and
navy and the airlines under contract with them. Two applications
for this service now on file with
the C.A.A. are by long-established
undertaking firms, who plan to use
the airplanes either as missions of
mercy or for burial. One of them
is Shannon's of Fort Worth, Texas,
who proposes to operate a helicopter
ambulance or hearse from their city
to or from any points within 600
mlles; from within that radius to
any place in continental U. S. or
from anywhere in the country to
within that circle. An exactly similar application is on file from W. C.
Croy of Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Julian Bondurant's Armored Motor service of Memphis would enlarge his operation by use of airplanes throughout t he south and
southwest " on call and demand."
The fabulous supply of our motorized forces with fuel by airplane in
the dash across France and elsewhere, probably influenced H. I.
Moul, president of Coastal Tank
Lines, Inc. , of York, Pa. , to file an
application to supplement his fleet
of 175 trucks with flying tankers. His
ships would carry 3,500 gallons of
any kind of bulk liquid commodity
in compartmentized tanks throughout the United States and to Alaska , Canada and Mexico.
Autos by Air.
Delivery of jeeps and trucks by
airplane to the battle lines unquestionably gave T. P. Geddes of the
Automobile Air Freight corporation
of Detroit, t he inspiration for similar operations in peacetime. Before
the war his firm was reputed to be
the largest deliverers of new au tomobiles in the world, by steamship
on the Great Lakes and by the wellknown super-trucks. Their lake vessels the year before the war transported 180,000 cars.' Now their concern proposes to do rush orders on
the same job with huge cargo planes
and glider trailers. They seek a certificate to transport automobiles
from the middlewest to anywhere in
the United States and to bring back
general cargo to that area.
Department store deliveries with
the helicopter as the favored vehicle
is proposed in dozens of applications
on file . Perhaps the best known
firms include the Hecht Company,
Inc., of Washington, D. C., and the
William Filene Sons company of
Boston. Both would cover the metropolitan area surrounding their
cities and would also sook to serve
their customers in smaller cities at
greater distances.
E. J. McKeown, president of the
Producers Air Lines of Toledo, would
use cargo planes, gliders and helicopters in the transportation of perishable foods , flowers, drugs, medicines and medicine ingredients. A
proposed plan of similar type is that
of the Fish Airlines corporation,
headed by Charles J. McGowan of
New Bedford, Mass., which would
emphasize rushing sea foods from
Massachusetts and Rhode Island to
fishless regions of the country.
Plane builders have demonstrated
that there may be a plane built for
every purpose, that has been t heir
record in wartime. And with plenty
of skilled operators available, also
as a result of the war, it remains to

The group of applicants who look
toward peacetime flying business
with the keenest anticipation and
toward whom official eyes will look
with greatest sympathy are the soldiers and sailors, some already discharged veterans and others ready
to take to the air as soon as they
are discharged.
Of the 350,000 military pilots
which the war has produced, the
majority who plan to make aviation
their career, see their future as
pilots for established airlines. There
are, however, many who want to
start their own business . . . nothing fancy, understand, maybe just a
local feeder line. There has been as
yet no breakdown to learn just what
percentage of the applications already filed are by servicemen, but
the percentage is high. A typical
one is the application filed only a
few days ago by Lt. James Walker
Case of Sutter Creek, Calif., 28year-old navy flier. Lieutenant Case
wants to start a business flying persons and property to all parts of
California and Nevada in the most
suitable available aircraft , just as
soon as the navy lets him go.
Taxi Rural Service.
There is also the Norsemen Air
Transport company, which turns out
to be several servicemen who want
to continue their war association
by
establishing
feeder airlines
throughout New England.
Many of these projects may never
see the light of day, but there are
applications like that of Lt. Col.
John C. L. Adams, who before being called back to his regular army
job when war came, organized and
operated an extensive air service in
Panama. He wants to st art a sightseeing business with helicopters or
light planes, fanning out in various
scenic routes from Cristobal and
Balboa. Until he can start work
sans uniform, his wife, Alberta, is
getting things lined up.
Then there are also a number of
women who plan to start airlines on
their own. Some of them, judging
from their application papers, have
already had successful careers in
other lines of business. There is Angeline Harris of Rutherfordton,
N. C., who proposes to start a scheduled mail and passenger service
linking the smaller towns in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virgin ia,
using either helicopters or light
conventional planes. She proposes
to land on postoffice roofs or the
nearest available vacant lot.
Mrs. Winifred Lucy Shefferly of
Detroit, proposes to run a helicopter
taxi service in Michigan and Mrs.
T. W. Lanier of El Paso, Texas,

Taxi Firms to Start Air Helicopter Service
A number of long established taxi-

tion, who furnishes limousine service between LaGuardia airport and
29-45 yers' Chet:ker Taxi of Boston, have the Airlines Terminal building in
applied for general air taxi service New York, and the other is Joe
by helicopter. This field too, has its Ferrant's Airdrome transport which
specialists for at least two opera- would be at the beck and call of
tors, who for years have transported film stars on the west coast.

There are scores of other appliestions now on file and more are coming in daily for new businesses, new
and novel enterprises with the use
of airplanes. As of the first of June
more than 600 such applications
were on file with the Civil Aeronautics board. This number will be increased a t a rapid rate during the
months following V-J Day.

Intensify Work
On Hopeful New
Penicillin Rival
So important were results achieved
by the University of Illiooi..i in 18
months of study of anti-biotic su~·
stances, one of which-lltreptomycm
-promises to be second only to
penicillin in combating disease, that
the board of trustees hu appropri·
ated $27,000 for laboratory remodel·
ling and for equipment to carry on
the work.
An anti-biotic is a ~nee pro·
duced by living or«anisms whi.ch is
antagonistic to other org~ru.s~s.
Penicillin is a weM·known antl-b10t1c.
When the great value of pcmicillin
as a therapeutic agent was discov·
ered lt was realized that, despite
its r~markable properties, it has certain limitations, which is true also of
sul!a drugs.
It was felt that anti-biotics other
than penicillin might be. produced by
other species of fung1, and .s~~e
might be even better than peruc1llin
in that they would be active against
a larger number of species of disease-producing bacteria, some of
which were entirely unaffected by
penicillin.
It is hoped that compounds easier
to produce on a large scale and sim·
pier in their chemical structure may
be obtained, thus leading the way to
synthesis of the anti-bacterial sub.
stances. The work at the University
indicates rapid progress in explor·
ing this field.
Fertilize Ponds
Fish respond to fertilizer even
more than crops do. Carefully conducted experiments in Alabama
show that under average conditions
in the South, an unfertilized fish
pond will produce 100 to 200 pounds
of fish to the acre. If properly fertillzad, these same ponds will pro.
duce up to 580 pounds of fish per
acre. A four-acre fish pond yielding
a ton o! fish a year can make a big
contribution to the farm food sup.
ply.
Proper fertilization is 100
pounds of something like a 6·8-4 :fertilizer, plus 10 pounds of nitrate of
soda an acre per application. Broadcast the fertilizer in the shallow wa·
ter around the edges but away from
the banks. Make the first application as soon as danger from floods
is past. New or unfertilized ponds
should raceive :from two to three
applications at weekly intervals. Ad.
ditional applications should be made
whenever the water loses its bright
green or brown color and becomes
clear-usually every four to six
weeks. The last application should
be made in September.

SEA OF JAPAN

POll ''!~:

Eighty-five points doesn't necessarily mean immediate release from
the army, as all soldiers know. The
trouble is, their families don't realize the catch. Thousands of men
who have served long and valiantly
are classed as "essential" and are
being held indefinitely. In many
cases they are having a hard time
explaining to their wives just why
they aren't coming home soon.
One captain stationed in Germany
with an occupation unit has 127
points. His wife is so sure that he
could return to the states if he
wanted to that she is threatening
divorce. She thinks that he wants to
stay because he has fallen for
some German woman. Chaplains
report that dozens of such cases
reach them every week. Morale is
suffering seriously.

But Still In

The United Nations charter, meeting with almost no opposition before
the senate foreign relations committee, went to the senate for what is
said to be certain acceptance
without modificalions. The committee ended its sessions by a parade
of supporters of the charter, after
listening to a few individual outspoken opponents.
Final witnesses before the committee included Philip Murray, president of the CIO and William G.
Carr, president of the National Education association as well as Norman Thomas, Socialist party leader.
The speed with which the charter
has been handled indicates that
the United States will become the
first nation to officially approve
the charter or to pass on it in any
form.

Radar Saved BritainWill Remodel Industry
Electronics Proves of Great Value to American
Air and Naval Forces During

By BAUKHAGE
NewJ Analys' and Commentator.

Little by little the world is learning more of the secrets hidden in
that magic, five-letter word which,
spelled
backward or forward,
~ means the same thing, but whose
real meaning is still a mystery. I
mean R-A-D-A-R.
I have written it down that way
because its derivation is one mystery that we can reveal. Before it
went into "classification," which is
what they say in the army when
they mean something can't be mentioned in public, radar was an important but little - known, copyrighted, commercial label. It is
really four words in one: Radio
Direction and Ranging.
Early in the war there were some
stories printed about a German airplane which had a television camera
in it which could send back pictures
of the territory beneath it. Shortly
thereafter all mention of such an
avparatus stopped and the dark
and mysterious career of radar began. Radar:, and television .are not
the same thin,, but there are simi, larities and if we can believe that
j actors in a studio in the RCA building in New York can be seen out
' in Westchester county by people sitting around a television set, we can
believe that another little gadget
can register the presence and location of a distant object (like a plane
' or a warship) and, if it is moving,
tell which way it is going and how
· fast.

Berlin Rule
The rule in Berlin has been split,
and for the first time the American
and British military governments
have moved in and taken up their
responsibilities in the German capital.
Rules and regulations established
in American and British zones of
Berlin, as established by the Red
army, will remain in effect until
General Clay and General Lyne and
their staffs can formulate permanent methods of operation. Russian
policy has been declared to be
more realistic than those adopted
by other Allies in other sections, and
high sources seem to think there
will be little change made in Berlin.
Each Allied military government
will provide food, coal and other
necessities from their part of occupied Germany to take care of
German civilians within Berlin.
There will be exchanges of different kinds of goods among the British, American, French and Russian
authorities due to scarcities of
some items in different sections.

BIGGEST HOMECOMING:
Ahead o/ Schedule
When eight transports docked in
New York one day in mid-month,
they brought back 35,000 happy veterans of the European war- the
largest number returned in a single
day since V-E Day. Twenty-eight
thousand soldiers were Americans,
7,000 Canadians. Five infantry regiments, a hospital unit, various
gr~ups of the 8th air force, and numerous smaller units were among
the arrivals. The number of troops
now back in the states is approaching the hal1 million mark.
The giant Queen Mary carried
more than 15,000 men, including 6,0()0 of the Canadian contingent.
The West Point, which is the navy's
largest transport, had 7,600 soldiers
aboard, and the John Ericcson about
the same number. Three thousand
men came home on the James
Parker, and four smaller transports returned a total of 1,500.
Aboard the West Point were 33
men who were not happy about the
trip. They were Japanese diplomats taken into custody in Europe.
An unlis ted passenger was Natale Piavallo, nine-year-old Italian
orphan, who was smuggled aboard
the General Bliss by soldiers of the
8th division. He was liberated from
a German prison camp by American troops. He will be placed in a
private home pending decision of
immigration authorities.

Pearl Harbor." Human service
failed to carry the message that the
Jap air fleet was coming, but radar
had done its part of the job.
Radar has grown to be a giant
since then. This is what "Impact,"
an official publication of the assistant chief of air staff (intelligence)
says:
"The use of radar in military operations is in its infancy, but it has
permeated every phase of air warfare. It is used in strategic bombing by both British and American
heavies. It makes night fighting and
intruder operations possible. It literally saved England in the battle
of Britain. And it provided for the
control alld direction of virtually every day or night sortie flown by the
TACs (tactical air force planes)
during the winter (of 1944-45)."
The importance of the part which
the American tactical air forces
played from the battle of Normandy
right up to V-E Day is acknowledged by everyone, though there
may be differences of opinion as to
the relative achievements of the
various branches of the service.
(Tactical bombing and strafing is
that part of air force activity which
is an integral portion of the individual land force operations, as much
a part of the battle plan and its
execution as the disposition of artillery. Strategic bombing is the
"softening up," the long range air
attacks.)
And radar was a vital part of the
success of the tactical operations in
Europe from D-Day on because of
its help in getting a fighter-bomber
to its target and getting it home
again in weather which is too bad
for normal operations.

Chuck said: "Polac;k, I think

with you?"
Bill said: "One, two, three, four,
five. Why don't you borrow something from old Four Eyes here to
give the Major? You'd find a real
nice goin'-away present right here
in this house if you just got up and
looked for it."
Chuck said: "Bill, why don't you
have more ideas? You got the best
ideas when you have 'em.''
Polack said: "Yeah, good idea,
let's borrow something."
Chuck said: "Bill, you don't even
know how good your ideas are when
you have 'em. Look: this Major,
he's Italian himself, speaks it like a
native. He sure is gonna appreciate something Italian from old Four
Eyes' house. Boy, Bill, I don' know
why you aren' a millionaire with the
ideas you got."
Bill said: "Una and tre is quattro. Due and tre is cinque. I can
even add.''
Chuck said: "Let's go an' find
something 'fore we pass out."
Polack said: "Lookit that room,
like a Gran' Central Station. There's
a lot of Eyetalian junk in there."
Chuck said: "Let's have look.''
Polack said: "Why'n we give'm a
chair?"
Chuck said: "Good idea. Take the
shroud off'n a chair, give 'im a
chair."
Chuck and Polack skated across
the floor to a chair. They bent over
it to take the slip cover off Their
fumbling hands could not find where
to loosen the cover.
"Lif' it up," Chuck sbggested.
"Look at it from unnerneath."
So they lifted the chair above their
heads. Polack reeled. Chuck lost
his grip. The chair crashed to the
floor, and a leg broke off. Bill
picked the leg up.
Chuck said: "Too much trouble,
lousy chair.''
Polack spotted a terra cotta bust
standing on a marble pillar-like
stand in one corner. "Who's 'at?"
Bill said, a~ if 'positive: "Garibaldi."
Polack said: "Le's give'm a Garibally.'' And he went over to the corner, lifted the bust off the pillar,
started uncertainly back toward the
others, lost his balance, and dropped
the bust. It broke into hundreds of
pieces.
Polack looked over the mantel at
a painting of a fat nude. She was
lovely in his wine-washed eyes, and
he said: "Give'm a woman. A Major needs a woman.''
So the thre e worked together to
get the painting down. They balanced themselve s on chairs and
grunted and all lifted on the bottom
edge of the painting. They managed to lift it off its hook, but they
could not keep it balanced. The picture fell, and its canvas hit the back
of a chair, and the fat woman was
ripped from flank to flank.
Polack said: "Le's go in 'nother
room."
They went into a dining room. In
one corner there was a big glass-~
faced cabinet containing Venetian
glassware on shelves. "Give 'im
somethin' to drink out of," Chuck
said.
He tried the door of the cabinet,
but it was locked. "Bill," he said,
"open this thing up. Don't just stan'
there with that club. Open up."
Polack said: "Case of 'mergency,
break glass an' pull lever.''
Bill stepped up and poised the
chair leg. "Una, due, tre," he said,
and on three he let go. The glass
front shivered to the floor. The three
boys staggered forward to choose a
gift. First they dropped a bowl.
Then they dropped a glass swan.
Then they dropped a big goblet.
Then they knocked the whole cabinet over and broke everything.
The three m en went from room
to room this way, leaving a trail of
ruin behind them. Their disappointment grew as they saw their
chances dwindling of getting anything good enough (or durable
enough) for the Major.
Finally Chuck said: "Hell of a
war, when you can't even find a
present in ol' Four Eyes' house.''

Stromberg, who's been making good movies for years, and

I

says he, and also determine to what
movies their men shall take them.
Not that he ignores the males in his
appeal to the public! "Young Widow," costarring Jane Russell and
Louis Hayward, is intended to entertain both sexes. But Stromberg
likes feminine titles - "Dishonored
Lady" is on his list, and "Strange
Woman," and his first independent
picture was "Lady of Burlesque."
And credit him with giving Joan
Crawford, Myrna Loy and Rosalind
Russell a big push toward stardom.

Of aU the canning you can do this
season, it is the canning of fruits
which will pay
the biggest dividends. Not only
are fruits a good
source of vitamins and minerals, but they will
enable you to
save hundreds of
points this year
as they did last
year.
Since rationing began, fruits hav&amp;
always carried a high ration value,
and yet,_they are essential and convenient to serve for breakfast,
luncheon and dinner. Fruits may
be canned with or without sugar, but
the fruit will mellow and ripen in
the jars much more satisfactorily if
a sugar syrup is used. With syrups
plentiful, part, usually half, of it is
sweetened with a light or dark com
syrup. Honey may be substituted
for one-half the sugar, also. It will
darken the fruit and give it a somewhat stronger flavor, but it is good.
Only fruits that are good in flavor,
uniformly ripened and firm in texture should find their way to the
jar. Just as it is true of any other
canning and preserving, you get
only what you put into the can. Canning is designed for preserving the
fruit, not tor improving poor quality
produce.
When large fruits such as peaches,
_pears or apples are canned, they
require peeling and should be placed
in brine (2 teaspoons salt to 1 quart
()f water) to prevent them from
turning dark while peeling.
The open kettle method for canning fruit has been a favorite among
homemakers for
many generations
because it gives
-such
attractive
resvlts. However,
thF&gt; hot water
bath has found
many users because the danger
-of spoilage is reduced to a minimum and the appearance of the fruit still retains its
shape, flavor and texture. On the
table, time is also given for processing in the pressure cooker if one is
available, but it is not essential for
fruit canning as it is for vegetable
preserving. ,
Syrup Making Guide.
Thin syrups for fruit canning will
be most popular this year because

LYNN SAYS
Fruit Canning Tips: Fruit
sometimes discolors at the top of
the jar if the fruit is under-ripe
or when accurate processing
time or temperature is not
maintained. Discoloration of the
top layers of the fruit is caused
by oxidation which means that
air has not been expelled from
the jar by the heat of processing.
If food is packed too solidly or
jars filled to overflowing instead
of to within a half inch of the
top, some of the liquid may boil
out of the jars during processing.
Canning powders and preservatives are not necessary in the
canning procedure.

of the sugar shortage. For this type,
use 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water.
Heat the sugar and liquid together
until sugar is dissolved and syrup
is boiling. Or, use lh cup corn
syrup (light or dark) or lh cup honey
with lh cup sugar.
Medium type syrup is good for
most fruits and berries, but it requires a little more sugar. The proportion is 2 cups water to 1 cup sugar, or half corn syrup or honey and
half of the amount in sugar.
In past years, peaches and pears
and some of the other fruits have
always been canned with a thick
syrup-1 cup water to 1 cup sugat.
Don't feel that you cannot can if the
sugar doesn't reach around for this
type of syrup. A thin or medium
syrup can do the job.
Packing Jars.
Fruits, berries and tomatoes
(which are considered a fruit for
canning purposes) are delicate in
texture and high in juice content.
They should be packed solidly in
the jar to prevent undue shrinkage
and consequent "empty" appearance after processing. Precooking
of the fruit is suggested because it
shrinks the fruit or berry and enables you to get more in the jar. It
takes a little bit longer to can by
precooking, but the results are worth
the effort.
Jars should be filled to within ¥2
inch of the top. If tightly packed up
to this point, fruit and berries will
rarely float after processing, and the
jars will have a much nicer appearance because they are full of fruit.
Make sure the rims of the jar are
not chipped as this will prevent ll
perfect seal. It's a good idea, too,
to wipe the rims after the fruit and
syrup are added so that no particles of food or juice stick to them to
prevent them. from sealing properly.
Making a Bot Water Bath.
A water bath canner may be
made from a wash boiler or any
other large deep vessel that has a
close fitting cover and is deep
enough to permit the jars to stand
upright and still have enough water
to come an inch or two above the
jars. This water should be kept
boiling during the entire processing
period. It should never be allowed
to boil away enough to come less
than 1 inch above the jars. If necessary have a kettle of boiling water on the range, beside the water
bath, to replenish the supply in the
canner.
A rack which will hold the jars lh
inch from the bottom of the kettle
is also essential. The jars should
be set wide enough apart to allow
for free circulation of water.
How do you count processing
time? As soon as the water starts
boiling briskly
around the filled
jars is the rule.
The times given
on the above table are tested
and accurate. Set
the clock with an alarm, if necessary, and do not try to whittle it
down. As soon as the processing
period is up, remove the jars and
place on several thicknesses of cloth
or newspaper in a place free from
drafts and allow to cool. Then store
in a cool, dry place. The jars should
be set far enough apart to allow for
free circulation of air to bring them
to room temperature as quickly as
possible.

The auto to auto telephone is near
at hand. The American Telephone
and Telegraph company announces
that it will soon be in operation together with house to car and office
to car phone talks.

Add the telephone call to the red
light, the detour sign, the motorcycle cop and the federal car tax,
and what have you got? Certainly
not added comfort.

FARMERS, ranchers, dairymen
and all others in the agricultural
industry, both in the production and
processing fields, must , have confidence in their government . . . must
have faith that their government will
stand by every commitment made
to them in full . . . and go ahead
for the fullest production of foodstuffs possible.
This is the message to agriculture from Clinton P. Anderson, tall,
lanky westerner, and new secretary
of agriculture in the administration
of President Truman.
The new secretary, a rancherfarmer-business man, is determined
that farmers will
not suffer in their
patriotic efforts for
all - out production
. . . that support
prices will be sufficient and over-all
to insure adequate
prices . . . that
there will be no
huge surplus which
will bog down prices
. . . that consumer
Clinton
subsidies will gradAnderson
ually be eliminated
as upward pressures on prices relax
. . . that agreed requirements from
agriculture represent obligations
which )]lust be carried through . .•
that adequate manpower and machinery for the farm must be given
priority ... and that the government
must take necessary steps to provide adequate transportation facilities to move groups and foodstuffs,
perishables and livestock, and the
movement of manpower to areas
where there is an acute labor shortage.
This, briefly, is the program which
this new, dynamic figure in the department of agriculture has set for
himsel! and the agricultural industry for the immediate months ahead.
He is no novice a t the job he has
undertaken. As chairman of the
special committee of the house to
investigate food shortages, he traveled the country from coast to
coast, heard innumerable witnesses
on all sides of every question and after weeks of consideration, he and
his committee came up with a set
of recommendations, most of which
have now been enacted into law.

Long Range Program Too
And while Anderson is immediately concerned with the ptoduction of
foodstuffs for the war period, he has
not lost sight of the long-range program to which the farmer is looking
for the postwar years. Mr. Anderson will be secretary of agriculture for the next 3% years. There
is a probability that 2% and maybe
more, of those years will be postwar
years. At any rate, with his characteristic thoroughness, he already
has a committee of agricultural experts at work studying basic agricultural problems with the idea of
bringing forth a set of recommendations for the postwar period.
This reporter would say. after
an interview with Mr. Anderson,
and a study of his work in congress, that the new secretary has
his feet solidly on the ground,
that he is not given to going off
half-cocked, that he studies every side of a question and that
once his mind is made up he
will use every resource and all
his ability to carry through his
program.

While he would not commit himself as to the Triple A program, he
did say that the Triple A program,
with the exception of soil conservation, had been pretty well laid on
the shelf during these war years
and for the postwar period he indicated that the crop adjustment program would have to be analyzed
thoroughly and that he already had
a committee a t work doing just that.

Interested in Parity
By congressional action, however,
farm ers have been guaranteed a
price for their products, or most of
them, at 90 per cent of parity for
two years after the end of the war
and Mr. Anderson is particularly interested in adequate support prices
to maintain this price. Furthermore,
support prices are not costing the
government anything at this time,
since prices of commodities are well
above the prices set. It is only when
commodity prices start falling for
any reason, that the support price
will hard the farmer up from ruinous prices.
Anderson is not anticipating any
huge surpluses, but nevertheless he
is taking no chances on the so-called
reconversion period when army and
other huge government buyers start
cut-backs in food purchases. For
this reason he is now starting conversations seeking to taper off, rather
than cut-off, army purchases, and
lend lease.
Consumer subsidies, he looks
upon as temporart expediencies,
and very temporary at that. Be
is not in favor of such subsidies
as a governmental policy In
peacetime.

Trained Pilots and Plenty
Of Improved Planes for
Everyday Needs of All
By Walter A. Shead
WNU Washington Correspondent.
How about having those spare
binder parts dropped in your farm
lot by parachute? Or how about calling up and having a flying ambulance deliver you to the nearest hospital for that emergency operation?
Or jl you are in a hurry for that
order you placed, call up and have
them deliver it at your gate by
helicopter. Ridiculous, you say.
Well, not so ridiculous as you may
think for the amazing progress of
air t;ansportation during the war is
reflected in these very practical
steps for a new horizon for commercial operations as soon as peace
permits.
As a matter of fact, the Civil
Aeronautics administration in the department of commerce has on file
at this moment applications for
these and many more new types
of civilian air business and these
applications afford a stimulating
picture of what the plane may soon
be doing to advance new progress in
American life and manner of living.
Old and new hands at the flying
game, including many veterans still
in uniform, have formed enterprises now simply waiting for the
official green light to serve the public in many ways that would have
been thought ridiculous or visionary
a few years ago. For instance, some
of the applications include:
Flying ambulance and funeral
planes . . . armored airships for
safe dispatch of currency and other
valuables . . . delivery of new automobiles by huge glider trains . . .
tank planes for shipment of gasoline, oil and other liquids . . . bus
and taxi service . . . deliveries of
medicine, food and of other department store merchandise . . . "fly.
yourself" systems . . . sightseeing
specialists . . . pick-up or delivery
by parachute . . . and many others.
These projects are in addition to
applications for wide extension of
service into new territories sought
by existing airlines and the entry
of others into the fields of feeder,
pick-up, general express and cargo
business.
Start New Enterprises.
Applicants for certificates for
these new enterprises cover the
whole range of people who have
been stirred to action by faith in the
future of air transportation. In the
active dockets of the department are
the names of companies· and individuals with experience in transporting persons and property by air.
There are others who have had
equally broad background in transportation by steamship, bus, taxicab and truck and there are still
others, such as department store
owners, who are obviously strong in
financial resources, but who have
never, perhaps, even delivered their
own parcels.
Then there are the embryo airline magnates, like the man and his
wife who want to start an air freight
line between Los Angeles and New
York, and for specifications for
their fleet, submitted colored cutouts of a Liberator botnber from a
Sunday supplement. As a matter of
fact, practically all the applications
state in more or less apologetic
terms that the applicants have no
planes with which to start business.
But since practically none will be
available until after the war, they
are all on an equal basis from that
standpoint.

This is just one of the many items that will be handled almost entirely m
postwar era by the new and existing taxi and air freight lines.

proposes to begin with transport of
mail and later of persons and
property on two circulating rout~s
covering hitherto none too accessible places in Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona.
The proposed air ambulance service, no doubt, had its inspiration
from the remarkable operations in
evacuation of wounded by t he air
transport command of the army and
navy and the airlines under contract with them. Two applications
for this service now on file with
the C.A.A. are by long-established
undertaking firms, who plan to use
the airplanes either as missions of
mercy or for burial. One of them
is Shannon's of Fort Worth, Texas,
who proposes to operate a helicopter
ambulance or hearse from their city
to or from any points within 600
mlles; from within that radius to
any place in continental U. S. or
from anywhere in the country to
within that circle. An exactly similar application is on file from W. C.
Croy of Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Julian Bondurant's Armored Motor service of Memphis would enlarge his operation by use of airplanes throughout t he south and
southwest " on call and demand."
The fabulous supply of our motorized forces with fuel by airplane in
the dash across France and elsewhere, probably influenced H. I.
Moul, president of Coastal Tank
Lines, Inc. , of York, Pa. , to file an
application to supplement his fleet
of 175 trucks with flying tankers. His
ships would carry 3,500 gallons of
any kind of bulk liquid commodity
in compartmentized tanks throughout the United States and to Alaska , Canada and Mexico.
Autos by Air.
Delivery of jeeps and trucks by
airplane to the battle lines unquestionably gave T. P. Geddes of the
Automobile Air Freight corporation
of Detroit, t he inspiration for similar operations in peacetime. Before
the war his firm was reputed to be
the largest deliverers of new au tomobiles in the world, by steamship
on the Great Lakes and by the wellknown super-trucks. Their lake vessels the year before the war transported 180,000 cars.' Now their concern proposes to do rush orders on
the same job with huge cargo planes
and glider trailers. They seek a certificate to transport automobiles
from the middlewest to anywhere in
the United States and to bring back
general cargo to that area.
Department store deliveries with
the helicopter as the favored vehicle
is proposed in dozens of applications
on file . Perhaps the best known
firms include the Hecht Company,
Inc., of Washington, D. C., and the
William Filene Sons company of
Boston. Both would cover the metropolitan area surrounding their
cities and would also sook to serve
their customers in smaller cities at
greater distances.
E. J. McKeown, president of the
Producers Air Lines of Toledo, would
use cargo planes, gliders and helicopters in the transportation of perishable foods , flowers, drugs, medicines and medicine ingredients. A
proposed plan of similar type is that
of the Fish Airlines corporation,
headed by Charles J. McGowan of
New Bedford, Mass., which would
emphasize rushing sea foods from
Massachusetts and Rhode Island to
fishless regions of the country.
Plane builders have demonstrated
that there may be a plane built for
every purpose, that has been t heir
record in wartime. And with plenty
of skilled operators available, also
as a result of the war, it remains to

I

The group of applicants who look
toward peacetime flying business
with the keenest anticipation and
toward whom official eyes will look
with greatest sympathy are the soldiers and sailors, some already discharged veterans and others ready
to take to the air as soon as they
are discharged.
Of the 350,000 military pilots
which the war has produced, the
majority who plan to make aviation
their career, see their future as
pilots for established airlines. There
are, however, many who want to
start their own business . . . nothing fancy, understand, maybe just a
local feeder line. There has been as
yet no breakdown to learn just what
percentage of the applications already filed are by servicemen, but
the percentage is high. A typical
one is the application filed only a
few days ago by Lt. James Walker
Case of Sutter Creek, Calif., 28year-old navy flier. Lieutenant Case
wants to start a business flying persons and property to all parts of
California and Nevada in the most
suitable available aircraft , just as
soon as the navy lets him go.
Taxi Rural Service.
There is also the Norsemen Air
Transport company, which turns out
to be several servicemen who want
to continue their war association
by
establishing
feeder airlines
throughout New England.
Many of these projects may never
see the light of day, but there are
applications like that of Lt. Col.
John C. L. Adams, who before being called back to his regular army
job when war came, organized and
operated an extensive air service in
Panama. He wants to st art a sightseeing business with helicopters or
light planes, fanning out in various
scenic routes from Cristobal and
Balboa. Until he can start work
sans uniform, his wife, Alberta, is
getting things lined up.
Then there are also a number of
women who plan to start airlines on
their own. Some of them, judging
from their application papers, have
already had successful careers in
other lines of business. There is Angeline Harris of Rutherfordton,
N. C., who proposes to start a scheduled mail and passenger service
linking the smaller towns in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virgin ia,
using either helicopters or light
conventional planes. She proposes
to land on postoffice roofs or the
nearest available vacant lot.
Mrs. Winifred Lucy Shefferly of
Detroit, proposes to run a helicopter
taxi service in Michigan and Mrs.
T. W. Lanier of El Paso, Texas,

Taxi Firms to Start Air Helicopter Service

There are scores of other appliestions now on file and more are coming in daily for new businesses, new
and novel enterprises with the use
of airplanes. As of the first of June
more than 600 such applications
were on file with the Civil Aeronautics board. This number will be increased a t a rapid rate during the
months following V-J Day.

Intensify Work
On Hopeful New
Penicillin Rival
So important were results achieved
by the University of Illiooi..i in 18
months of study of anti-biotic su~·
stances, one of which-lltreptomycm
-promises to be second only to
penicillin in combating disease, that
the board of trustees hu appropri·
ated $27,000 for laboratory remodel·
ling and for equipment to carry on
the work.
An anti-biotic is a ~nee pro·
duced by living or«anisms whi.ch is
antagonistic to other org~ru.s~s.
Penicillin is a weM·known antl-b10t1c.
When the great value of pcmicillin
as a therapeutic agent was discov·
ered lt was realized that, despite
its r~markable properties, it has certain limitations, which is true also of
sul!a drugs.
It was felt that anti-biotics other
than penicillin might be. produced by
other species of fung1, and .s~~e
might be even better than peruc1llin
in that they would be active against
a larger number of species of disease-producing bacteria, some of
which were entirely unaffected by
penicillin.
It is hoped that compounds easier
to produce on a large scale and sim·
pier in their chemical structure may
be obtained, thus leading the way to
synthesis of the anti-bacterial sub.
stances. The work at the University
indicates rapid progress in explor·
ing this field.
Fertilize Ponds
Fish respond to fertilizer even
more than crops do. Carefully conducted experiments in Alabama
show that under average conditions
in the South, an unfertilized fish
pond will produce 100 to 200 pounds
of fish to the acre. If properly fertillzad, these same ponds will pro.
duce up to 580 pounds of fish per
acre. A four-acre fish pond yielding
a ton o! fish a year can make a big
contribution to the farm food sup.
ply.
Proper fertilization is 100
pounds of something like a 6·8-4 :fertilizer, plus 10 pounds of nitrate of
soda an acre per application. Broadcast the fertilizer in the shallow wa·
ter around the edges but away from
the banks. Make the first application as soon as danger from floods
is past. New or unfertilized ponds
should raceive :from two to three
applications at weekly intervals. Ad.
ditional applications should be made
whenever the water loses its bright
green or brown color and becomes
clear-usually every four to six
weeks. The last application should
be made in September.

SEA OF JAPAN

POll ''!~:

Eighty-five points doesn't necessarily mean immediate release from
the army, as all soldiers know. The
trouble is, their families don't realize the catch. Thousands of men
who have served long and valiantly
are classed as "essential" and are
being held indefinitely. In many
cases they are having a hard time
explaining to their wives just why
they aren't coming home soon.
One captain stationed in Germany
with an occupation unit has 127
points. His wife is so sure that he
could return to the states if he
wanted to that she is threatening
divorce. She thinks that he wants to
stay because he has fallen for
some German woman. Chaplains
report that dozens of such cases
reach them every week. Morale is
suffering seriously.

But Still In

The United Nations charter, meeting with almost no opposition before
the senate foreign relations committee, went to the senate for what is
said to be certain acceptance
without modificalions. The committee ended its sessions by a parade
of supporters of the charter, after
listening to a few individual outspoken opponents.
Final witnesses before the committee included Philip Murray, president of the CIO and William G.
Carr, president of the National Education association as well as Norman Thomas, Socialist party leader.
The speed with which the charter
has been handled indicates that
the United States will become the
first nation to officially approve
the charter or to pass on it in any
form.

Little by little the world is learning more of the secrets hidden in

spelled

real meaning is still a mystery. I
mean R-A-D-A-R.
I have written it down that way
because its derivation is one mystery that we can reveal. Before it
went into "classification," which is
what they say in the army when
they mean something can't be mentioned in public, radar was an important but little - known, copyrighted, commercial label. It is
really four words in one: Radio
Direction and Ranging.
Early in the war there were some
stories printed about a German airplane which had a television camera
in it which could send back pictures
of the territory beneath it. Shortly
thereafter all mention of such an
avparatus stopped and the dark
and mysterious career of radar began. Radar:, and television .are not
the same thin,, but there are simi, larities and if we can believe that
j actors in a studio in the RCA building in New York can be seen out
' in Westchester county by people sitting around a television set, we can
believe that another little gadget
can register the presence and location of a distant object (like a plane
' or a warship) and, if it is moving,
tell which way it is going and how
· fast.

Berlin Rule
The rule in Berlin has been split,
and for the first time the American
and British military governments
have moved in and taken up their
responsibilities in the German capital.
Rules and regulations established
in American and British zones of
Berlin, as established by the Red
army, will remain in effect until
General Clay and General Lyne and
their staffs can formulate permanent methods of operation. Russian
policy has been declared to be
more realistic than those adopted
by other Allies in other sections, and
high sources seem to think there
will be little change made in Berlin.
Each Allied military government
will provide food, coal and other
necessities from their part of occupied Germany to take care of
German civilians within Berlin.
There will be exchanges of different kinds of goods among the British, American, French and Russian
authorities due to scarcities of
some items in different sections.

BIGGEST HOMECOMING:
Ahead o/ Schedule
When eight transports docked in
New York one day in mid-month,
they brought back 35,000 happy veterans of the European war- the
largest number returned in a single
day since V-E Day. Twenty-eight
thousand soldiers were Americans,
7,000 Canadians. Five infantry regiments, a hospital unit, various
gr~ups of the 8th air force, and numerous smaller units were among
the arrivals. The number of troops
now back in the states is approaching the hal1 million mark.
The giant Queen Mary carried
more than 15,000 men, including 6,0()0 of the Canadian contingent.
The West Point, which is the navy's
largest transport, had 7,600 soldiers
aboard, and the John Ericcson about
the same number. Three thousand
men came home on the James
Parker, and four smaller transports returned a total of 1,500.
Aboard the West Point were 33
men who were not happy about the
trip. They were Japanese diplomats taken into custody in Europe.
An unlis ted passenger was Natale Piavallo, nine-year-old Italian
orphan, who was smuggled aboard
the General Bliss by soldiers of the
8th division. He was liberated from
a German prison camp by American troops. He will be placed in a
private home pending decision of
immigration authorities.

Pearl Harbor." Human service
failed to carry the message that the
Jap air fleet was coming, but radar
had done its part of the job.
Radar has grown to be a giant
since then. This is what "Impact,"
an official publication of the assistant chief of air staff (intelligence)
says:
"The use of radar in military operations is in its infancy, but it has
permeated every phase of air warfare. It is used in strategic bombing by both British and American
heavies. It makes night fighting and
intruder operations possible. It literally saved England in the battle
of Britain. And it provided for the
control alld direction of virtually every day or night sortie flown by the
TACs (tactical air force planes)
during the winter (of 1944-45)."
The importance of the part which
the American tactical air forces
played from the battle of Normandy
right up to V-E Day is acknowledged by everyone, though there
may be differences of opinion as to
the relative achievements of the
various branches of the service.
(Tactical bombing and strafing is
that part of air force activity which
is an integral portion of the individual land force operations, as much
a part of the battle plan and its
execution as the disposition of artillery. Strategic bombing is the
"softening up," the long range air
attacks.)
And radar was a vital part of the
success of the tactical operations in
Europe from D-Day on because of
its help in getting a fighter-bomber
to its target and getting it home
again in weather which is too bad
for normal operations.
It controlled night fighters, photo

Chuck said: "Polac;k, I think
you're drunk. What's the matter
with you?"
Bill said: "One, two, three, four,
five. Why don't you borrow something from old Four Eyes here to
give the Major? You'd find a real
nice goin'-away present right here
in this house if you just got up and
looked for it."
Chuck said: "Bill, why don't you
have more ideas? You got the best
ideas when you have 'em.''
Polack said: "Yeah, good idea,
let's borrow something."
Chuck said: "Bill, you don't even
know how good your ideas are when
you have 'em. Look: this Major,
he's Italian himself, speaks it like a
native. He sure is gonna appreciate something Italian from old Four
Eyes' house. Boy, Bill, I don' know
why you aren' a millionaire with the
ideas you got."
Bill said: "Una and tre is quattro. Due and tre is cinque. I can
even add.''
Chuck said: "Let's go an' find
something 'fore we pass out."
Polack said: "Lookit that room,
like a Gran' Central Station. There's
a lot of Eyetalian junk in there."
Chuck said: "Let's have look.''
Polack said: "Why'n we give'm a
chair?"
Chuck said: "Good idea. Take the
shroud off'n a chair, give 'im a
chair."
Chuck and Polack skated across
the floor to a chair. They bent over
it to take the slip cover off Their
fumbling hands could not find where
to loosen the cover.
"Lif' it up," Chuck sbggested.
"Look at it from unnerneath."
So they lifted the chair above their
heads. Polack reeled. Chuck lost
his grip. The chair crashed to the
floor, and a leg broke off. Bill
picked the leg up.
Chuck said: "Too much trouble,
lousy chair.''
Polack spotted a terra cotta bust
standing on a marble pillar-like
stand in one corner. "Who's 'at?"
Bill said, a~ if 'positive: "Garibaldi."
Polack said: "Le's give'm a Garibally.'' And he went over to the corner, lifted the bust off the pillar,
started uncertainly back toward the
others, lost his balance, and dropped
the bust. It broke into hundreds of
pieces.
Polack looked over the mantel at
a painting of a fat nude. She was
lovely in his wine-washed eyes, and
he said: "Give'm a woman. A Major needs a woman.''
So the thre e worked together to
get the painting down. They balanced themselve s on chairs and
grunted and all lifted on the bottom
edge of the painting. They managed to lift it off its hook, but they
could not keep it balanced. The picture fell, and its canvas hit the back
of a chair, and the fat woman was
ripped from flank to flank.
Polack said: "Le's go in 'nother
room."
They went into a dining room. In
one corner there was a big glass-~
faced cabinet containing Venetian
glassware on shelves. "Give 'im
somethin' to drink out of," Chuck
said.
He tried the door of the cabinet,
but it was locked. "Bill," he said,
"open this thing up. Don't just stan'
there with that club. Open up."
Polack said: "Case of 'mergency,
break glass an' pull lever.''
Bill stepped up and poised the
chair leg. "Una, due, tre," he said,
and on three he let go. The glass
front shivered to the floor. The three
boys staggered forward to choose a
gift. First they dropped a bowl.
Then they dropped a glass swan.
Then they dropped a big goblet.
Then they knocked the whole cabinet over and broke everything.
The three m en went from room
to room this way, leaving a trail of
ruin behind them. Their disappointment grew as they saw their
chances dwindling of getting anything good enough (or durable
enough) for the Major.
Finally Chuck said: "Hell of a
war, when you can't even find a
present in ol' Four Eyes' house.''

With 155 Years of Outstanding Seivice
N.EWS
In Wars and Peace Coast Guard Has Been
B:EHI ~.
Big Factor in Present Successful Operations THEfN~
The United States coast guard on
August 4 celebrates the 155th anniversary of its founding, proud of beIng the nation's "first fleet" and
proud of its "firsts" and its distinguished service on all fronts of
World War II. Most of the 172,000
men who wear the coast guard
shield on their uniform sleeves will
celebrate the service's birthday
overseas, for the coast guard, created primarily to prevent smugglers from reaching the coast,
ranges far from home in time of
war to fight alongside the army,
navy and marine corps.
The coast guard's story really begins in 1787 when Alexander Hamilton, first secretary of the treasury,
while urging adoption of the then
pending constitution, wrote of the
need for a sea-going service which
would prevent "material infractions
upon the rights of the revenue." "A
few armed vessels," he wrote, "judiciously stationed at the entrance to
our ports, might at small expense
be made useful sentinels of the
laws."
With the constitution adopted, the
first congress elected under it, in
the spring of 1790, approved Hamilton's idea for a marine law enforcement agency, and on August 4,
1790, the service's birthday, appropriated money to build 10 cutters
and pay salaries to their officers and
men.
For six years the small cutters
were the only armed vessels under
the United States flag. (The navy
was created in 1794 by act of congress, but its ships were not in service until 1797.
Given Naval Rank.
The possible defense value of the
cutters was recognized early. In
suggesting- establishment of the
service, Hamilton asked that officers of the cutters be given military
or naval rank, "which," he said,
"will not only induce fit men to engage, but attach them to their duties
with a nicer sense of honor." In
1797, congress passed a temporary
act to increase the strength of the
c1.1tters "and cause said revenuecutters to be employed to defend
the sea-coast and repel any hostility to their vessels and commerce
within their jurisdiction, having due
regard to the duties of said cutters
in the production of the revenue."
In 1798, during the "undeclared" naval war with France,
the President, "with a view of
producing a concert of action of
the naval forces of the United
States," placed the revenue vessels at the disposition of the
secretary of the navy. In the
next year, congress passed an
act providing that the cutters
were to co-operate with the navy
whenever the President should
so direct-a precedent since fol·
lowed in every war.
The cutter Taney went through
Pearl Harbor unscathed and the
next day left the stricken Pacific
base on antisubmarine patrol. The
165-foot Icarus received credit for
sinking the first German submarine
in United States waters when she
blasted a U-boat and took 33 prisoners off the Carolina coast. (A
coastguardmanned destroyer escort,
with several navy ships, was in at
the kill on the last U-boat sunk in
.the Atlantic by American forces.)

Many Ships Lost.
&lt; A tragic "first" of the coast guard
was the loss of the cutter Hamil•ton, torpedoed off Iceland in January, 1942, the first American warship lost to a submarine after the

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING MYSTERY
WASHINGTON.- No secret meetings with the military were held by
the Woodrum house committee
which urged what it called "a broad
poliicy of universal military training."
No special information concerning
difficulties ahead of this nation was
privately passed to the committee by
the war department which has been
promoting the youth draft. Specifically, no inside scare over Russia
inspired the committee.
Consequently, considerable perplexity has developed as to how and
why it went contrary to the weight
of evidence in its own hearings.
It seemed to vote 16 to 0 in
favor of a program which none
of its hearing witnesses endorsed, except the army, navy,
state departments and the U. S.

·The World, the Fea.ce a.nd Andy Gribbin.,.
An important thing about Andy
Gribbin's education is that his
whole early life is spent in learning the essential business of cooperation, of getting along with
fellow-beings.
First, he has to learn how to
fit into his immediate family,
learn the give-and-take necessary to get along with brothers,
sisters, elders.
Then, after a few years, his
world enlarges, he is sent to
school. Pretty soon he learns
how to spell C-A-T. But about

this same time he learns something much more valuable, which
is that he mustn't pull the eat's
tail because a cat is a being, and
therefore entitled to certain inalienable rights.
He also learns that 1 plus 1
equals 2. But much more useful
is learning that 48 equals 1, that
48 states make 1 nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all.
As Andy grows up his world
will continually ei{&gt;and. At

history is that the Andy Gribbins have not learned that in a
constantly shrinking world, cooperation must extend beyond
the borders of the conntry; that
just as it is necessary to get
along with neighbors and neighbor states, so is it necessary to
get along with neighbor nations.
And today, with no spot on
earth more than sixty hours
away by plane, with oceans
shrunk to the width of rivers,
with the age of rocket-travel
upon us, all nations are neighbor
nations.
There are hopeful signs that
finally we are awake to this. Even so, a lack of determination, of responsibility, of effort
could again ruin the peace and
set the stage for World War 3.

First, get and keep yourselt informed
about the specific proposals for peace
and international cooperation whicb

Second, Interest your friends in these

Third, write what you think to your

2 cups light corn syrup

To prepare fruit, crush or grind
about 2 quarts fully ripe raspberries. Measure sugar, syrup and
fruit into a large kettle and mix
well. Bring to a full rolling boil
over a very hot fire and stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil
hard one minute. Remove from fire
and add bottled fruit pectin. Stir
and skim during the next 5 minutes, then pour quickly into glasses.

Ripe Blackberry Jelly
(Makes about 9 6-ounce glasses)
3 cups juice
2 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare juice, crush or grind
about 2 quarts of fully ripe berries
(not black caps). Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out
juice. It the amount does not meas-ure to 3 cups, add a little water to
the pulp and squeeze out again.
Measure sugar and syrup into a
dish and set aside until needed.
Place juice in a saucepan (3 to 4
quart size). Place over hot fire and
add powdered
fruit pectin. Mix
well and continue
stirring until mixture comes to a
boil. Pour in sugar and syrup and
bring mixture to
a full rolling boil, while continuing
to stir. Boil hard 1h minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly.

Those of you who have enough
sugar to spare will enjoy these cherry preserves which are such an excellent accompaniment to meats,
fowl and other main dishes.
Cherry Preserves.
Use from 3f4 to 1 pound sugar to
each pound of fruit depending upon
the sourness of the cherries. Mix
cherries with sugar; let stand overnight. Heat slowly to boiling. Boil
rapidly 15 to 20 minutes, or until
cherries are tender. Let stand until
cold. Pack cherries into hot, sterile
jars. Boil syrup until thick. Pour
hot syrup over the cherries; seal at
once.

Lack of sugar need be no excuse
!or not putting up those mouthwatering jams
and jellies this
summer. If you
look far enough
ahead, these delectable f r u i t
combinations can
be the means of
easing up another
shortage-that of
butter.
One
of
two
ways may be used for maintaining
the traditional time-honored jam
and jelly cupboard. First of all, the
limited sugar supplies can be
stretched by using light corn syrup
for sweetening. Or, secondly, fruit
and berry juice may be pasteurized
while the season is in full swing,
and made into jams and jellies later in the year as sugar is secured.
What about the texture of jellies
and jams made of pasteurized fruit
and berry juice? lt will not be affected, tests show. Color and flavor
may not be quite as good, but is
generally fair.
When corn syrup is used as a subr:;titute for part of the sugar, the
cern syrup should be added to the
fruit along with the sugar. If directions for tile substitution of corn
syrup for sugar are followed as given in the recipe, the jams and jellies will set favorably. Also, when
corn syrup is used, the recipe will
yield from one to two additional
glasses of jam or jelly.
Note: The corn syrup designated
in the following recipes is white corn
syrup.

EARN THEIR KEEP .
.

In the eyes of most persons "dog"
spells "pet," yet by far the largest
number of America's dogs earn their
keep by rendering useful services
for their owners, according to the
Gaines Dog Research Center, Ne .v
York City.
By way of proof, it need only be
pointed out th,nt of the nation's estimated dog population of 15,000,000,
almost eleven million live with fatflilies in rural districts- on farms,
ranches, and in small towns. Here for
the most part they have their special
chorcs-sut:h as keeping an eye on
the sheep, brmging in the cows, keeping watch on the home premises, etc.chores which would otherwise take
up the time and energy of a member
of lhC' family or the hired man.
The essential usefulness of the dog
in Amc'tican life can be demonstrated
in &lt;mother way. Dogs are usually classified in six distinct groups: Sporting,
Hounds, Working, Terriers, Th;-s and
Non-sporting dogs. American Kennel
Club registrations over the years show
the numbers in the three first-mentioned groups - definitely kept for
useful purposes- to be about twice
those of the other three classifications.
As a matter of fact, it is the exceptionally large number of hunting dogs
within its borders that is responsible
for North Carolina, with its approximately 980,000 dogs, being the leader
in dog population among all the states.
This is not to imply that dogs not
Jncluded in the so-called working and
hunting classifications are not useful.
A dog is a dog, whether a tiny Chihuahua or a huge St. Bernard, and
is capable of performing many useful
tasks t:lllght him by his master, 1n
addition to providin~ joyful companionship, selfless devotion and other
qualities associated with the dog
through the ages.
But whatever a dog's contribution
to his owner, he occuptes a unique
pn.lltion as a member of the family.
This is highlighted in a survey made
by the Country Gentleman. The
study showed that when a dog's
health needs looking after the father
of the family attends to it in 44 per
cent of the cases, the mother in 38,
the son in 23, and the d•tghter in 10
per cent. tFrum these figures it is
cYitlent that in many familes more
than one person is responsible for
the dog·s welfare.) The same holds
true in f1e matter of feeding. The.
motlter tS responsible for feeding the
dog in 73 per cent of the cases, the
son ir. 27 per cent, the father in 24
and the do.ughter in 22 per cent.

Dead Wood
In my early 20's I had frequent
dealings with a small but old and
reputable manufacturing corporation. One day I lunched with a grayhaired employee, the superintendent, who was quite unhappy. They
had lost their biggest contract. The
lost customer was a young and
thrifty retail firm whose needs had
finally grown too large for the old
manufacturer to supply.
Price had been a consideration,
of course. My companion admitted that several competitors could
quote a lower price and make a
profit when his plant could 'not. It
was on account of the modern, highspeed equipment which the competitors used. Naturally I asked why
the old house couldn't install better machinery. The superintendent
simply wagged his head and said,
"dead wood."
Unused Hands
"Our big boss is the chairman,"
he explained. "His brother is president of the company. Each of them
has a son who is a vice-president. The
secretary and the treasurer are both
sons-in-law. I don't see any of them
twice a year but they draw salaries
as big as mine. We can't buy new
equipment. Sometimes we are hard
put to pay for current materials
promptly."
This was 25 years ago when a lot
of ranting (not altogether unjustified) was heard about the "idle
rich." But the tables have turned.
America's threat now is "idle poor."
This is more dangerous because the
poor are more numerous. Idle hands
can ride any business to the ground
because they retard production. Indifferent workers are no less guilty
than pampered payrollers.
Public Enemies
I was much impressed by an article in the Houston Press a few weeks
ago, written by a returned service
man. He had started to work in an
office soon after he was discharged
and, six weeks later, penned his con·
tempt for civilian workers, men and
women. They systematically fritter I
away 50% of their working tim•. ht:
charged. They can do it because «K
the scarcity of workers.
There is an imported, alien doctrine that capitalists will make too
much profit for the good of the public unless workers retard production
some way. It is venomous. National enemies at whom American soldiers are thrusting bayonets today
are relatively harmless. They are
much less liable to do humanity permanent harm than the slick sabc&gt;teurs who plant a philosophy of idleness in the minds of honest workers.
Work and Live
America's unique place among
world powers, the singularly high
standard of living among American
workers and farmers, our national
income and our national safety, depend on work. Ability and willingness to make things well and make
them fast have put the United States
on top of the world. It is the secret
of American prosperity, but in a
startling degree our people are being
led away from the idea.
The world soon will be a market
for manufactured goods, a market
of millions of people in poverty. If
America fails to supply their needs,
quickly and at a price (possible with
efficient production) then cheaplabor countries will take the busi·
ness. Dead wood can cheat Uncle
Sam out of world trade and leave
us to stew again in our own over-~
supply, with low wages and poor living conditions which we don't want
and which aren't necessary.

U. S. Station Strives to
Develop Better Rabbits
The U. S. Rabbit Experiment station at Fontana, Calif., maintained
and operated by the service, was
established in 1927 to aid beiinners
and oldtimers alike. Upwards of
,,000 rabbits are utilized annually at
the station in the conduct of caretully planned experiments in the
feeding and breeding of rabbits
which have a wide application to the
entire country.
Current experiments are being
carried on to determine the feasibility of using whole grain in rabbit
feeding; the relative value of verious protein supplements; the adaptability of selective self-feeders; the
possible nutritional causes of so1 called "bloat" which is responsible
. for losses to rabbit producers; the
development of a superior strain of
breeding rabbits; and various factors conducive to production of better skins adaptable to use by furriers. The experiments are progressive and so outlined as to render
~e most service in solving current
problems of rabbit producers.
Some of the purposes for which
research on rabbits is conducted
are: to develop improved methods ot
breeding, feeding, housing and management, and judging rabbits to aid
those engaged in the business to
produce meat and fur of fine quality
at a profit; to produce rabbit meat
so economically that it can be sold
at a price that will be well within
the means of the consumer· to improve the quality of fur so' that it
will be in demand by the fur trade.
Several leaflets have been published
giving the results to dato of a number of experiments.

Floating Drydocks
Though several different models
of floating drydocks are presently
in operation, the newest and most
radical of these is the advanced ba3e
sectional type, in which 10 separate
units, or barges, are joined together
to form a repair dock that can accommodate a battleship. When this
type tiock is assembled, the separate barges form a surface nearly
as long as three football fields and
with side walls rising higher than a
five-story building. Each of the sections has a lifting capacity of 10 •
000 long tons, equivalent to a fle~t
of 11 average automobiles. An assembly composed of seven such sections joined together is large enough
to accommodate a cruiser.

For a year and a half University
of Illinois scientists studied the effeet of diet on four human volunteers
who lived under tropic or desert
'?onditions in an air-conditioned room
m a campus laboratory. Alternate
~ests were run with the "climate"
m ~he t.est room desert-dry or
trop1c-mo1st-but always at temperature.s up around 100 degrees.
ObJect of the study was to learn
about losses of chemicals through
the s~in in hot climates. The men
somebmes sweat off as much as 20
pounds a day. It was found that not
only ~alt,. but also other minerals,
and v1tamms. were lost. The results
were applied to a study of diet essentials.

PACIFIC:
Keep Going
While the nat~on's capital buzzed
with peace talk and Australian
newspapers hinted of sensational developments, U. S. and British carrier
• planes continued to rake the J apanese homeland and the Allied
fleets kept up the bombardment of
Nippon's sprawling coastline.
Scorched by Allied fire, the Japs
still refused to come out and fight·
Propagandists were seeking to cain
the populace with the assertion th..tt
the U. S. and British attacks were
designed to feel them out and they
would strike at the proper time.
Having joined with the fleet in raking shipping and transport facilities
linking the cbal-producing island of
Holtkaido with Honshu, and pounding factories on Honshu itself, carrier planes swept over Tokyo bay to
shoot up combat vessels at anchor.
Presumably remnants of the once
proud Imperial fleet, the warships
were covered by a heavy screen of
anti-aircraft fire as U. S. and British airmen closed in.
Peace talk was pointed up by persistent rumors that Marshal Stalin
might have brought Japanese peace
terms to the Big Three meeting at

President Truman (left) greets Prime
Minister Churchill at Berlin.
Berlin and the report that President
Truman presented the conferees
with American surrender conditions
drawn up by the war, navy and state
departments.
Rumors that Russia's Big Boss
might have borne Jap terms was accentuated oy a newspaper report
from London that a high Soviet official revealed that the Reds would
trar.smit a definite surrender offer
to the U. S. if it was forthcoming,
and that Moscow would have to
give the deepest consideration to
entry into the Pacific war in view of
:he heaVY losses suffered against
Germany.
Reportedly in the possession of
Mr. Truman, the American surrender conditions supposedly include the
relinquishment of all military equipment; the disbandment of Jap
forces; destruction of war industry; supervision over enemy shipbuilding, manufacture and port
facilities, and punishment of war
criminals.
Rife in the U. S .. peace talk was
equally lively in Australia, where
the Sydney Sun editorialized: "The
end of the war may come with dramatic suddenness . . . Hirohito is
still the god-emperor. By one stroke
of a pen he could relieve Japan's
terrors and make peace. There is
every reason to believe that United
States policy is preserving him for
that part in the drama."
Meanwhile, U. S. military chieftains, sticking to the American maxim that lhe game is never over until
the last batter is out, discounted the
peace talk and hewed to the big job
ahead.

FARM NOTES •••
Though supplies of chicken
and turkey will increase seasonally from now until fall, demand
is expected to remain unusually
strong for the remainder of
1945, reflecting scarcity of meat,
a high level of consumer purchasing power, and large army
procurement. Prices received
by farmers for chickens and turkeys probably will be higher for
the rest of 1945 than in the corresponding period of 1944.

for comparatively quick passage in
the senate
OverwhP.lmingly approved by the
house, tl&gt;.e Bretton Woods monetary
agreements creating a bank of recanstruction and fund for stabilizing
currencies passed the senate, with
Taft (Rep., Ohio) leading a losing
fight against the measures.
Charging that high pressure tactics have been employed to sell the
agreements to the country, Taft
3ought to amend the $9,100,000,000
bank and $8,800,000,000 fund so as
to assure the responsibility of borrowers drawing upon American contributions of $3,175,000,000 io the
bank and $2,750,000,000 to the fund.
While proponents of the Bretton
Woods agreements declared that the
bank was necessary to permit the
economic development of foreign nations, and the fund would permit
countries to obtain currency at fair
levels for international trade, opponents charged that there were no
provisions in the plans compelling
the members to stabilize their internal conditions to guarantee full
redemption of their obligation:;.
Concurrent with the agreements,
the senate considered approval of
the house - passed increase in the
lending authority of the Export-Import bank from $700,000,000 to $3,500,000,000 to finance sales and purchases abroad until the Bretton
Woods pacts can be implemented.
With only 1 of 22 members of the
senate foreign relations committee in
opposition, the United Nations security charter was sent to the upper
chamber for speedy passage. Although not promising that the pact
would prevent war, the committee
declared it provided the basis for
peaceful settlement of disputes.

FOOD:
Plain Talk
Along with the war, food remained
the major item of interest to Americans, with Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson warning of tight supplies
into 1946 even while the Office of War
Information prepared to launch an
all-out propaganda drive to convince
the U. S. of the necessity of tightening its belt to help feed impoverished Europe.
Declaring that the present food
shortage was the result of faulty
planning last year' Anderson said
prior to increased production in 1946
his office would seek to relieve
present scarcities by stifling black
markets, improving distribution and
holding army and foreign relief requirements to minimums.
Except for milk, wheat, potatoes
and fresh vegetables, most foods will
remain in tight supply, Anderson
said, with continued scarcities in
meats, fats, oils, condensed and
evaporated milk and canned fruits
and vegetables. Rice and dry beans
also will run short, he revealed.
Meanwhile, the OWls mapped its
propaganda campaign upon orders
from the White House, following the
report that the U. S. would have to
provide most of the relief shipments
to liberated Europe. In addition to
pointing out the need for supplying
the continent, the OWl also will issue periodic statements on contributions being made by Great Britain,
Russia, Canada and other nations.
Pertinent to American relief shipments abroad, Senator Wheeler
(Dem., Mont.) told newspaper men
that after having been promised
adequate supplies by American authorities, Europeans expect this
country to stand by its word. "Already in Europe, people are saying
that they were treated better before they were liberated," Wheeler
declared.

Army Feeds Civilians
Since the liberation of European
countries began last year, the army
has shipped more than 2,000,000
tons of foodstuffs, mainly wheat
and flour, for "wake of battle" feeding of civilians in liberated and occupied countries.
Feeding of civilians in these areas
by Allied troops is an obligation of
the army insofar as this feeding
may be necessary to prevent disease, riot or unrest such as might
prejudice military operations, or endanger the lives or health of G.I.s.

CHAPTER XV

•

?olack said: "A lousy unfair
war."
Bill said: "Le's go to bed."
So they went to bed. Polack heard
Chuck crying in his bedroll, and he
said: "Smatter Chuck, feel sick?"
Chuck sobbed': "Hell of a war."
Polack said: "Yeah, hell of a war,
Chuck, go to sleep."
When M~jor Joppolo arrived at his
office next morning, two visitors
were waiting for him. One was
Quattrocchi, owner of the house
where Chuck, Bill and Polack were
billeted. But Quattrocchi had to
wait, because the other was Lord
Runcin, one of the Amgot higherups. The Allied Military Government was, and still is, a joint British-American affair, and as in the
higher echelons of the military command, American and British officers were sandwiched in with each
other. Lord Runcin was near the
top.
Lord Runcin was a man of about
fifty . He had wavy blonde hair and
bright eyes which seldom looked
straight at whoever he was talking
with. He took snuff. Aside from
the fact that he had a purely colonial point of view toward the Italians, he was considered to be a pretty good man for Amgot. Not the
least of his attributes was his energy. On this particular morning, it
was only five minutes past eight,
and yet Lord Runcin had been on
the road since six thirty, had taken
breakfast on American rations in a
wheat field, and had been waiting
patiently for his Amgot representative in Adano for fifteen minutes.
He was making a round of interviews, to try to pick up the best examples of Amgot work from each of
the occupied towns.
Major Joppolo showed him into
his office. "Wizard quarters," His
Lordship said. Lord Runcin affect!
ed the slang of his subordinates, but
he always seemed to use American
slang when talking to his British
m en, and vice versa, so that many
of them understood very little of
what he said.
This was the first time Major
Joppolo had ever had a tete a tete
with a real honest to goodness Lordship. He was surprised to find him
wearing shorts and an open collar
and no hat at all. His Lordship's
deferential manner, as he sat on
the other side of the Major's desk
asking questions, made Major Joppolo, who had once been a clerk in
the Sanitation Department of New
York City, feel quite important.
By way of making conversation,
His Lordship pointed a thumb in
Quattrocchi's direction and said:
"Your Italian friend is in quite a
flap."
The former Sanitation clerk said:
"What was that, Lord? I didn't get
that."
"Never mind," said His Lordship.
"Well, what kind of a job have you
been doing here, J oppolo?"
The former Sanitation clerk said:
"Well, I've been doing all right."
"Doing all right, eh?" His Lordship smiled and made a note of the
expression in his notebook, for future use. "What are the best things
you've done?"
Well, to show how the town was
financing itself, there was the muslin. A Liberty Ship had come into
Ada na harbor, and had discharged
a cargo of war materials- bulldozers, bridge girders, tents, and some
ammunition. Down in the bottom
of one hold the unloaders found six
pales of white muslin. The skipper
of the ship said he had to unload it.
The Quartermaster on the beach
would not take it. There were no
papers for the muslin, no consignment. The muslin had U . S. Treasury markings on it, so it was obviously Lend-Lease, and it was obviously lost. Major Joppolo heard
about it,' and seeing the rags on the
people of his town, he said he could
use it. He called his Civil Supply
director and told him about the muslin, and the director gave permission to sell it at a fair price. Major
J oppolo put two rolls up for sale,
And held the other four in reserve.
There was such a shortage of cloth
in the town that the two rolls were
gone in that many hours.
"Good work, Joppolo," His Lords hip said. "What else?"
There was the refugee problem.
On the day of the invasion, there
were only six or seven thousand people in the town; the others had all
run to the hills. Within a few days
there were thirty-two or -three thousand. The town got badly crowded,
.and one reason was that there were
a lot of refugees from the town of
Vicinamare. These people had come
&lt;down to Adana because the Allies
had been bombing Vicinamare pret~Y hard before the invasion.
Now
'that the battle had gone beyond

Vicinamare, they wanted to go
home, but there was no transportation. One day the Major saw a
German bus driving down the street.
An American soldier was driving it.
Major Joppolo said to himself: "I
could use that bus." He asked
around and found out it belonged to
the En,ineers. So he called the
Motor Officer and said: "I'd like to
use that bus of yours one day a
week." The Motor Officer said it
would be okay with him if the Major
had proper permission. So Major
Joppolo called the Adano base commander who said it would be all
right. 'And a few days later one
busload of cheering, laughing people had started home. Now Colonel
Sartorius, head of Amgot for the
Province of Vicinamare, heard
about the bus a few days later, and
he got sore, and told Major Joppolo
not to do that any more. "Sometimes," Major Joppolo said, "I think
Colonel Sartorius is an awful dope."
Lord Runcin sa1d: "Do you mean
you think he takes harmful drugs?"
And his Lordship dipped into his
snuffbox.
Major Joppolo said: "Oh no, I
just mean he's stupid."
"Dope, eh?" His Lordship said,
and put the expression down in his
book. "Very good, what else?"
Well, Lord, the people of Adano
were so contented under the Americans that they offered of their own
accord, without anybody suggesting
it, to maintain the little American
cemetery on the outskirts of town.
So they built a fence around it and
painted it white, and Russo the old
stonecutter was making headstones,
and every Sunday the people took
flowers up and put them on the
g raves of the boys who had died
taking the town.
"I say,, His Lordship said,
"touching. What else?"
Food was pretty good. In the first
days, the Major had found five cars

of wheat on a siding at the railroad
station, had had it ground into flour,
and had been able to spare some
for the neighboring hill towns, which
were starving. He had given one
baker a very heavy fine, three thousand lira, for baking soggy bread,
for -refusing to sell it on credit, for
refusing to take American invasion
lira, and for having dirty hands;
and since then the bread had been
pretty good from all the bakers. He
had taken steps to send the fishermen out. He had arranged for the
people to have pasta, which they
had not had for eight months. Food
was all right.
"Good," said Lord RuJ1cin. Every
time Hi~ Lordship took snuff, Major
Joppolo's eyes nearly popped out
of his head and he almost forgot
what he was talking about. "Anything else?"
"Oh sure, Lord," he said, "this
town is much be tter off than it was
before we came in. You can't imagine how these people were ground
down. Why, they're so used to being afraid of officials, and so used
to making out forms and being
hauled up to court and having carabinieri ask them their names, that
they all put their last names first
and their first names last, the way
it goes on official papers, all the
time . Just like the Chinese.
"Lots of them have told me that
they're better off now than they
were before. For one thing, they
can congregate in the streets any
time they want and talk about whatever they want to. They can listen
to their radios. They know th ey
can get a fair trial out of me. They
can come to the City Hall and talk
to me any time they want. Mayor
Nasta had office hours from twelve
to one each day and you had to apply for an audience weeks in advance. I told you about the streets
being clean . Oh, there are lots of
ways, Lord, and if I have anything to do with it there'll be lots
more."

His Lordship was getting a wee
bit bored. He di~cd more and more
frequently into his · snuffbox and
looked out the window. "Fine show.
fine show," he said. "Anything bad
in this town?"
"Yes, there is, Lord," the Major
said. "One thing."
"I wish all of our towns had just
one thing wrong, Joppolo."
"Well, this isn't exactly bad, Lord,
and maybe it'll sound a little silly
to you."
:
"My job," said Lord Runcin, taking snuff grandly, "is to make sense
out of silly things. What is it, Joppolo?"
"Well sir, this town needs a bell."
"A bell? Why, Major, I heard
such a jangling of bells at eight
o'clock this morning, you might
have thought it was Christmas day."
"Yes, but this is a special bell,
Lord."
"I didn't know they had any special bells."
"This one was seven hundred
years old. It was just about the
most important thing in the town. to
hear these people talk. Mussolini
took it away . . . " And Major Joppolo told how the bell had been
crated up and shipped away to
make gun barrels, and how the people had come to him about it, and
how he had tried to track it, and
had found that it was almost certainly melted down, and at any
rate was in unoccupied territory.
Lord Runcin's colonial attitude
croJJped up. "Surely," he said,

"these people can get along with
the bells they have. We can't afford
to be too sentimental, you know,
Joppolo. Can't afford to le t these
people be too happy, you know.
Can't afford to let discipline get too
loose."
"Lord, I can't see that happiness
and discipline don't go together."
"Young man," said His Lordship,
taking a sniff for emphasis, "I think
I've had
little more experience in
these things than you have."
"Every time I've done something
for these people," Major Joppolo
said, "I've found they did two things
for me just out of thanks."
"Well, what do you want me to
do about this bell?"
"I just wondered, Lord, if you
could suggest a way to get them
another bell. Not just any bell,
you know, but one that could take
the place of the one they lost."
"Every time I need something out
of the ordinary," His Lordship said,
"I make application to the United
States Army. They have the most
extraordinary things, you know.
They gave me a jeep. They g~ve
me my chOice of p1pes, good bnar,
too, went from Scotland to the

one of those , but I can t use 1t because of this Italian current, wrong
current, you know, not like our current. I suggest you try the U. S.
Army, Joppolo."
"I haven't had quite the same
kind of luck with the Army, Lord.
You got some friend, or something?
Who do you ask for all these fancy
things tbey get you?"
"Just write General Wilson, W.
B. Wilson, Quartermaster Depot, Algiers. General Wilson told me he'd
try to get me anything I wanted.
Just use my name, Joppolo, he'll
find you a bell. I'm sure of it."
Major Joppolo wrote down Genera! Wilson's name and address.
"Thank you Lord " the Ma1·or said.
,
, it might work.
"That sounds
like
I sure want to get a bell for this
town."
Lord Runcin clapped his snuffbox
shut and stood up. "Well, Joppolo,
sounds to me as if you were doing a
wizard job here. Keep it up. It
you have any troubles, just give me
a buzz." And His Lordship left, on
the verge of a delicious sneeze
which he had been saving in his
nostrils for ten minutes.
Major Joppolo stared out of the
window, and he was wonderfully
happy, with the double happiness of
accomplishment and praise for it.
He was drawn back from his pleasant daze by a torrent of Italian.
It came from Quattrocchi.
"You Americans think you are so
civilized, you think you are doing
us a favor by disembarking on our
shores. You a r e no better than the
Germans. The Germans never did
anything in this town such as your
men have done. I gave you my
house. I did not mind giving you
my house. I thought the Americans
were civilized. You are the one
who told me they are civilized. You
said they would t ake care of my
house- as if they owned it. You are
a liar."
Having been praised so recently,
Major Joppolo was stung by this
dispraise.
"What do you want?" he said
sharply. "Stop this b abbling and tell
me what you want."
"I don't want anything. What I
have lost I can never get back, so
how' can I want anything?"
"If you don't want anything, why
are you taking up my time?"
Quattrocchi spoke sarcastically :
"I'm sorry it your time is so valuable, Your Worship." And then he
spoke angrily : "I have lost some
things which were valuable to me.

Plant food boosts grain yield.
CHICAGO -Better farm management during World Wm· II has enabled Americ-an agricult.1re to produce much bigger crops on smaller
acreages than were possible in
World War I, according to a statement made public here by the Middle
West Soil Improvement Committee.
"The tremendous upswing in agricultural productwn since Pearl Harbor has taken place without any
substantial increase in the total
planted acreage," the statement
points out.
"The present increase in output
has been accomplished by better
farm management, by more mtensive cultivation, by improved machinery and by the application of
more and better types of mixed fertilizers.
"One of the results, however, has
been the heaviest drain an the fer-

tility level of existing crop acreages
in all our history. Although the use
of fertilizer has shown a marked
upturn in the past three and a halt
years, applications have not come
anywhere near balancing the quantity of plant food removed by growing crops to meet the wartime demand for food and fibers.
"Thus, the soil's reserves Qf such
essential fertilizer elements as nitrogen, phosph()rus and potash are
being depleted.
To combat this
trend, a great soil rebuilding job
must be undertaken when the war
is over, when le.bor and material
supplies are more normal. The fei'tilizer industry which has broken all
previous production rE-cords in the
war years is equipped and ready to
meet all the demands for plant
food which peacetime soil replenishrn~'nt ··•'11 reCluire."

POST -WAR FLYING IN YOUR HOME TOWN
~----

By C. C. CAl\IPBELL,

Freedom of Personal Flight
The development of aviation has
been so rapid that many of the rules
and regulations made only a few
years ago to govern it, are already
obsolete.
"Not only arc
many restrictive
regulations considered needless in
,these days of advanced mechanical
controls and vastly
improved operating
facilities," says J o·
seph T. Geuting Jr.,
manager, Personal
Aircraft Council ,
"but it is contended
that they endanger
the ·whole future of
flying in America by
preventing many people from flying."
In order to call this situation to
the attention of the country and to
Congress and Washington aviation
officials, the Council has drawn up
a statement of policy on the "Freedom of Personal Flight."
Just as the airplane has made tremendous technical and operational
strides during the war years, the
Council points out, it is now necessary for the rules of flying to be
simplified and advanced in proportion.
The airplane's most important role
in the future may very likely be as
a private conveyance of the ordinary citizen, similar in social and
economic importance to the automobile, it is asserted. Yet the Civil
Air Regulations up to now have taken little cognizance of the personal
plane or its ownership and operation
by folks like you and me. Instead,
many of the ru"es governing fast

/lfember, Aviation ll"rit.,.
.4ooociation, Woohinfk&gt;n, D. C. - - - - - '

commercial flights of passengers
and cargo were appiied to those flying small, private airplanes. Naturally, as they now stand, they just
do not fit any more than rules and
regulations written for bus and truck
operation would fit personal automobile operation. Fortunately, regulations now are being revised to do
away with a great deal of needless
and time-wasting procedures and requirements.
Among the points which the Personal Aircraft Council makes are: 1.
the air is free; 2. airspace should be
available to all persons for all purposes of air travel; 3. ownership and
operation of an airplane should not
be restricted tQ any greater degree
than is the comparative use of an
automobile. The statement of policy also calls for termination of special clearance, light plan, and other
"paper work"; •d that no airport
built partly w-. public funds should
be permitted to exclude any type of
air traffic, unless specMl fields are
provided for such excluded craft.
Other recommendatioN would
make the right to pilot aircraft dependent solely on proof of ability to
fly with reas•nabje skill, and would
shelve many of the difficult but unnecessary qualifications for pilot
certification for personal flying.
Changes in traffic rules are also advised.
It seems unlikely that any one will
take issue with the purpose of the
suggestions. which is to make personal flying simple and easy within
reasonable bounds and thus advance
the whole progress of America's
aviation.
This is the oecond of a series of artleleo
on post-war flying and its eflect on con•·
munlty life, The next article "On the
Air Map" will appen.r in an early Issue.

Heavy rainfall aioue cannot solve
the water supply problems of scores
of Illmois towns now dependent
on deep wells that are going dry, according to Arthur M. Buswell. chief,
and Max Suter, engineer, of the Illinois State Water Survey, located a1
the University of Illinois.
Water lying in the deeply bedded
underground lakes is disappearing
at an alarmingly rapid rate, according to studies made by Buswell and
Suter over a period of years. When
this sut;&gt;ply has been used up, the
wells now drawing from it will go
dry permanently. Communities now
dependent on these deep wells will
have to provide themselves other
water supplies.
Many Illinois communities draw
their water from supplies laid down
in prehistoric times, according to
Buswell. These underground water
beds lie below layers of impervious
clay or stone. Surface water does
not seep through the stone or clay,
and therefore cannot replenish the
water source created in prehistoric
times.
In many cases it will be necessary
~r such communities to create or
find surface water supplies. This
means either they must tap existing
rivers or lakei or impound artificial lakes, as already has been
done by Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, Mt. Vernon, and more than
100 other Illinois communities.
More than 480 incorporated places
in Illinois now draw their community water from wells. Many of these
are deep wells, which tap the water
supply laid down in prehistoric
times, and these are the ones that
sooner or later will be compelled to
find new water sources.
Many other communities depend
upon so-called "shallow" wells,
which engineers term "dri • wells.
Driftt wells to some extent are replenished by surface water-rains
and melting snows which seep into
the ground.
Communities supplied by drift
wells also face trouble, according to
Buswell. In recent years wells of
this type have been using up the
ground water reserve more rapidly
than it has been replenished by rains
and snows.
Partly because of new concentrations of people coming to cities for
wartime employment, partly because of heavy use of water in some
air conditioning equipment, and
partly because industry in the state
has been making abnormally heavy
use of water, the "water table" from
which shallow wells in the state are
supplied has been dropping rapidly.
Contour farming which impedes
the water run-off and gives the
iround increased opportunity to absorb rains and melting snows is recommended by Buswell and Suter
to replenish the supply of shallowwell water. Contour farming also
impedes sheet erosion, which robs
the land of its fertile sc.il and fill~ 4
lakes and streams with silt, a menace to surface water supplies.
Nutritive Vegetable
Egg plant is an oriental favorite,
and used far more than in this
country. It is an excellent vegetable
to take the place of a meat c-ourse
however; and so is a good ve)?'etabl~
to grow in these days of strict rationing. It is also highly decorative;
if you plan to enter a basket of vegetables in the harvest show this fall,
an egg plant, with it:; f lo~sy dark
purple skin, is an absolute must in
arranging an attractive display. Its
nutritive value is high, and there
are many tempting ways of cooking it. It is well to vary the method of serving. Eggplant grows slowly, and should be started under protection. The plants require an even
temperature and do not thrive in
cold frames. A dozen plants will be
sufficient for an average farr.ily, and
.hey are ususally obtainable in the
markets.

&#xFFFD;THE RECORD. CRETE. ILL.

With 155 Years of Outstanding Seivice
N.EWS
In Wars and Peace Coast Guard Has Been
B:EHI ~.
Big Factor in Present Successful Operations THEfN~
The United States coast guard on
August 4 celebrates the 155th anniversary of its founding, proud of beIng the nation's "first fleet" and
proud of its "firsts" and its distinguished service on all fronts of
World War II. Most of the 172,000
men who wear the coast guard
shield on their uniform sleeves will
celebrate the service's birthday
overseas, for the coast guard, created primarily to prevent smugglers from reaching the coast,
ranges far from home in time of
war to fight alongside the army,
navy and marine corps.
The coast guard's story really begins in 1787 when Alexander Hamilton, first secretary of the treasury,
while urging adoption of the then
pending constitution, wrote of the
need for a sea-going service which
would prevent "material infractions
upon the rights of the revenue." "A
few armed vessels," he wrote, "judiciously stationed at the entrance to
our ports, might at small expense
be made useful sentinels of the
laws."
With the constitution adopted, the
first congress elected under it, in
the spring of 1790, approved Hamilton's idea for a marine law enforcement agency, and on August 4,
1790, the service's birthday, appropriated money to build 10 cutters
and pay salaries to their officers and
men.
For six years the small cutters
were the only armed vessels under
the United States flag. (The navy
was created in 1794 by act of congress, but its ships were not in service until 1797.
Given Naval Rank.
The possible defense value of the
cutters was recognized early. In
suggesting- establishment of the
service, Hamilton asked that officers of the cutters be given military
or naval rank, "which," he said,
"will not only induce fit men to engage, but attach them to their duties
with a nicer sense of honor." In
1797, congress passed a temporary
act to increase the strength of the
c1.1tters "and cause said revenuecutters to be employed to defend
the sea-coast and repel any hostility to their vessels and commerce
within their jurisdiction, having due
regard to the duties of said cutters
in the production of the revenue."
In 1798, during the "undeclared" naval war with France,
the President, "with a view of
producing a concert of action of
the naval forces of the United
States," placed the revenue vessels at the disposition of the
secretary of the navy. In the
next year, congress passed an
act providing that the cutters
were to co-operate with the navy
whenever the President should
so direct-a precedent since fol·
lowed in every war.
The cutter Taney went through
Pearl Harbor unscathed and the
next day left the stricken Pacific
base on antisubmarine patrol. The
165-foot Icarus received credit for
sinking the first German submarine
in United States waters when she
blasted a U-boat and took 33 prisoners off the Carolina coast. (A
coastguardmanned destroyer escort,
with several navy ships, was in at
the kill on the last U-boat sunk in
.the Atlantic by American forces.)
1·
Many Ships Lost.
&lt; A tragic "first" of the coast guard
was the loss of the cutter Hamil•ton, torpedoed off Iceland in January, 1942, the first American warship lost to a submarine after the
start of the war and, unfortunately,

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING MYSTERY
WASHINGTON.- No secret meetings with the military were held by
the Woodrum house committee
which urged what it called "a broad
poliicy of universal military training."
No special information concerning
difficulties ahead of this nation was
privately passed to the committee by
the war department which has been
promoting the youth draft. Specifically, no inside scare over Russia
inspired the committee.
Consequently, considerable perplexity has developed as to how and
why it went contrary to the weight
of evidence in its own hearings.
It seemed to vote 16 to 0 in
favor of a program which none
of its hearing witnesses endorsed, except the army, navy,
state departments and the U. S.

An important thing about Andy
Gribbin's education is that his
whole early life is spent in learning the essential business of cooperation, of getting along with

First, he has to learn how to

Then, after a few years, his

48 states make 1 nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all.
As Andy grows up his world
will continually ei{&gt;and. At

history is that the Andy Gribbins have not learned that in a
constantly shrinking world, cooperation must extend beyond
the borders of the conntry; that
just as it is necessary to get
along with neighbors and neighbor states, so is it necessary to
get along with neighbor nations.
And today, with no spot on
earth more than sixty hours
away by plane, with oceans
shrunk to the width of rivers,
with the age of rocket-travel
upon us, all nations are neighbor
nations.
There are hopeful signs that
finally we are awake to this. Even so, a lack of determination, of responsibility, of effort
could again ruin the peace and
set the stage for World War 3.
What can you do to help make
sure that war will never come?
You can._.
First, get and keep yourselt informed
about the specific proposals for peace
and international cooperation whicb
are now before us.
Second, Interest your friends in these
questions. Get them discussed la
&amp;roups to which you belong.
Third, write what you think to your
Congressman and Senators, to your
newspaper. Declare yourself.

church, at school, in business.
And through it all will run the
theme of cooperation, of getting
along with people of different religious, political and economic
beliefs; with people some of

4Y2 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
Yz bottle fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, crush or grind
about 2 quarts fully ripe raspberries. Measure sugar, syrup and
fruit into a large kettle and mix
well. Bring to a full rolling boil
over a very hot fire and stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil
hard one minute. Remove from fire
and add bottled fruit pectin. Stir
and skim during the next 5 minutes, then pour quickly into glasses.
Paraffin at once.
Ripe Blackberry Jelly
(Makes about 9 6-ounce glasses)
3 cups juice
2 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare juice, crush or grind
about 2 quarts of fully ripe berries
(not black caps). Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out
juice. It the amount does not meas-ure to 3 cups, add a little water to
the pulp and squeeze out again.
Measure sugar and syrup into a
dish and set aside until needed.
Place juice in a saucepan (3 to 4
quart size). Place over hot fire and
add powdered
fruit pectin. Mix
well and continue
stirring until mixture comes to a
boil. Pour in sugar and syrup and
bring mixture to
a full rolling boil, while continuing
to stir. Boil hard 1h minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly.

Those of you who have enough
sugar to spare will enjoy these cherry preserves which are such an excellent accompaniment to meats,
fowl and other main dishes.
Cherry Preserves.
Use from 3f4 to 1 pound sugar to
each pound of fruit depending upon
the sourness of the cherries. Mix
cherries with sugar; let stand overnight. Heat slowly to boiling. Boil
rapidly 15 to 20 minutes, or until
cherries are tender. Let stand until
cold. Pack cherries into hot, sterile
jars. Boil syrup until thick. Pour
hot syrup over the cherries; seal at
once.

Lack of sugar need be no excuse
!or not putting up those mouthwatering jams
and jellies this
summer. If you
look far enough
ahead, these delectable f r u i t
combinations can
be the means of
easing up another
shortage-that of
butter.
One
of
two
ways may be used for maintaining
the traditional time-honored jam
and jelly cupboard. First of all, the
limited sugar supplies can be
stretched by using light corn syrup
for sweetening. Or, secondly, fruit
and berry juice may be pasteurized
while the season is in full swing,
and made into jams and jellies later in the year as sugar is secured.
What about the texture of jellies
and jams made of pasteurized fruit
and berry juice? lt will not be affected, tests show. Color and flavor
may not be quite as good, but is
generally fair.
When corn syrup is used as a subr:;titute for part of the sugar, the
cern syrup should be added to the
fruit along with the sugar. If directions for tile substitution of corn
syrup for sugar are followed as given in the recipe, the jams and jellies will set favorably. Also, when
corn syrup is used, the recipe will
yield from one to two additional
glasses of jam or jelly.
Note: The corn syrup designated
in the following recipes is white corn
syrup.

EARN THEIR KEEP .
.

In the eyes of most persons "dog"
spells "pet," yet by far the largest
number of America's dogs earn their
keep by rendering useful services
for their owners, according to the
Gaines Dog Research Center, Ne .v
York City.
By way of proof, it need only be
pointed out th,nt of the nation's estimated dog population of 15,000,000,
almost eleven million live with fatflilies in rural districts- on farms,
ranches, and in small towns. Here for
the most part they have their special
chorcs-sut:h as keeping an eye on
the sheep, brmging in the cows, keeping watch on the home premises, etc.chores which would otherwise take
up the time and energy of a member
of lhC' family or the hired man.
The essential usefulness of the dog
in Amc'tican life can be demonstrated
in &lt;mother way. Dogs are usually classified in six distinct groups: Sporting,
Hounds, Working, Terriers, Th;-s and
Non-sporting dogs. American Kennel
Club registrations over the years show
the numbers in the three first-mentioned groups - definitely kept for
useful purposes- to be about twice
those of the other three classifications.
As a matter of fact, it is the exceptionally large number of hunting dogs
within its borders that is responsible
for North Carolina, with its approximately 980,000 dogs, being the leader
in dog population among all the states.
This is not to imply that dogs not
Jncluded in the so-called working and
hunting classifications are not useful.
A dog is a dog, whether a tiny Chihuahua or a huge St. Bernard, and
is capable of performing many useful
tasks t:lllght him by his master, 1n
addition to providin~ joyful companionship, selfless devotion and other
qualities associated with the dog
through the ages.
But whatever a dog's contribution
to his owner, he occuptes a unique
pn.lltion as a member of the family.
This is highlighted in a survey made
by the Country Gentleman. The
study showed that when a dog's
health needs looking after the father
of the family attends to it in 44 per
cent of the cases, the mother in 38,
the son in 23, and the d•tghter in 10
per cent. tFrum these figures it is
cYitlent that in many familes more
than one person is responsible for
the dog·s welfare.) The same holds
true in f1e matter of feeding. The.
motlter tS responsible for feeding the
dog in 73 per cent of the cases, the
son ir. 27 per cent, the father in 24
and the do.ughter in 22 per cent.

Dead Wood
In my early 20's I had frequent
dealings with a small but old and
reputable manufacturing corporation. One day I lunched with a grayhaired employee, the superintendent, who was quite unhappy. They
had lost their biggest contract. The
lost customer was a young and
thrifty retail firm whose needs had
finally grown too large for the old
manufacturer to supply.
Price had been a consideration,
of course. My companion admitted that several competitors could
quote a lower price and make a
profit when his plant could 'not. It
was on account of the modern, highspeed equipment which the competitors used. Naturally I asked why
the old house couldn't install better machinery. The superintendent
simply wagged his head and said,
"dead wood."
Unused Hands
"Our big boss is the chairman,"
he explained. "His brother is president of the company. Each of them
has a son who is a vice-president. The
secretary and the treasurer are both
sons-in-law. I don't see any of them
twice a year but they draw salaries
as big as mine. We can't buy new
equipment. Sometimes we are hard
put to pay for current materials
promptly."
This was 25 years ago when a lot
of ranting (not altogether unjustified) was heard about the "idle
rich." But the tables have turned.
America's threat now is "idle poor."
This is more dangerous because the
poor are more numerous. Idle hands
can ride any business to the ground
because they retard production. Indifferent workers are no less guilty
than pampered payrollers.
Public Enemies
I was much impressed by an article in the Houston Press a few weeks
ago, written by a returned service
man. He had started to work in an
office soon after he was discharged
and, six weeks later, penned his con·
tempt for civilian workers, men and
women. They systematically fritter I
away 50% of their working tim•. ht:
charged. They can do it because «K
the scarcity of workers.
There is an imported, alien doctrine that capitalists will make too
much profit for the good of the public unless workers retard production
some way. It is venomous. National enemies at whom American soldiers are thrusting bayonets today
are relatively harmless. They are
much less liable to do humanity permanent harm than the slick sabc&gt;teurs who plant a philosophy of idleness in the minds of honest workers.
Work and Live
America's unique place among
world powers, the singularly high
standard of living among American
workers and farmers, our national
income and our national safety, depend on work. Ability and willingness to make things well and make
them fast have put the United States
on top of the world. It is the secret
of American prosperity, but in a
startling degree our people are being
led away from the idea.
The world soon will be a market
for manufactured goods, a market
of millions of people in poverty. If
America fails to supply their needs,
quickly and at a price (possible with
efficient production) then cheaplabor countries will take the busi·
ness. Dead wood can cheat Uncle
Sam out of world trade and leave
us to stew again in our own over-~
supply, with low wages and poor living conditions which we don't want
and which aren't necessary.

U. S. Station Strives to
Develop Better Rabbits
The U. S. Rabbit Experiment station at Fontana, Calif., maintained
and operated by the service, was
established in 1927 to aid beiinners
and oldtimers alike. Upwards of
,,000 rabbits are utilized annually at
the station in the conduct of caretully planned experiments in the
feeding and breeding of rabbits
which have a wide application to the
entire country.
Current experiments are being
carried on to determine the feasibility of using whole grain in rabbit
feeding; the relative value of verious protein supplements; the adaptability of selective self-feeders; the
possible nutritional causes of so1 called "bloat" which is responsible
. for losses to rabbit producers; the
development of a superior strain of
breeding rabbits; and various factors conducive to production of better skins adaptable to use by furriers. The experiments are progressive and so outlined as to render
~e most service in solving current
problems of rabbit producers.
Some of the purposes for which
research on rabbits is conducted
are: to develop improved methods ot
breeding, feeding, housing and management, and judging rabbits to aid
those engaged in the business to
produce meat and fur of fine quality
at a profit; to produce rabbit meat
so economically that it can be sold
at a price that will be well within
the means of the consumer· to improve the quality of fur so' that it
will be in demand by the fur trade.
Several leaflets have been published
giving the results to dato of a number of experiments.

Floating Drydocks
Though several different models
of floating drydocks are presently
in operation, the newest and most
radical of these is the advanced ba3e
sectional type, in which 10 separate
units, or barges, are joined together
to form a repair dock that can accommodate a battleship. When this
type tiock is assembled, the separate barges form a surface nearly
as long as three football fields and
with side walls rising higher than a
five-story building. Each of the sections has a lifting capacity of 10 •
000 long tons, equivalent to a fle~t
of 11 average automobiles. An assembly composed of seven such sections joined together is large enough
to accommodate a cruiser.

For a year and a half University
of Illinois scientists studied the effeet of diet on four human volunteers
who lived under tropic or desert
'?onditions in an air-conditioned room
m a campus laboratory. Alternate
~ests were run with the "climate"
m ~he t.est room desert-dry or
trop1c-mo1st-but always at temperature.s up around 100 degrees.
ObJect of the study was to learn
about losses of chemicals through
the s~in in hot climates. The men
somebmes sweat off as much as 20
pounds a day. It was found that not
only ~alt,. but also other minerals,
and v1tamms. were lost. The results
were applied to a study of diet essentials.

PACIFIC:
Keep Going
While the nat~on's capital buzzed
with peace talk and Australian
newspapers hinted of sensational developments, U. S. and British carrier
• planes continued to rake the J apanese homeland and the Allied
fleets kept up the bombardment of
Nippon's sprawling coastline.
Scorched by Allied fire, the Japs
still refused to come out and fight·
Propagandists were seeking to cain
the populace with the assertion th..tt
the U. S. and British attacks were
designed to feel them out and they
would strike at the proper time.
Having joined with the fleet in raking shipping and transport facilities
linking the cbal-producing island of
Holtkaido with Honshu, and pounding factories on Honshu itself, carrier planes swept over Tokyo bay to
shoot up combat vessels at anchor.
Presumably remnants of the once
proud Imperial fleet, the warships
were covered by a heavy screen of
anti-aircraft fire as U. S. and British airmen closed in.
Peace talk was pointed up by persistent rumors that Marshal Stalin
might have brought Japanese peace
terms to the Big Three meeting at

President Truman (left) greets Prime
Minister Churchill at Berlin.
Berlin and the report that President
Truman presented the conferees
with American surrender conditions
drawn up by the war, navy and state
departments.
Rumors that Russia's Big Boss
might have borne Jap terms was accentuated oy a newspaper report
from London that a high Soviet official revealed that the Reds would
trar.smit a definite surrender offer
to the U. S. if it was forthcoming,
and that Moscow would have to
give the deepest consideration to
entry into the Pacific war in view of
:he heaVY losses suffered against
Germany.
Reportedly in the possession of
Mr. Truman, the American surrender conditions supposedly include the
relinquishment of all military equipment; the disbandment of Jap
forces; destruction of war industry; supervision over enemy shipbuilding, manufacture and port
facilities, and punishment of war
criminals.
Rife in the U. S .. peace talk was
equally lively in Australia, where
the Sydney Sun editorialized: "The
end of the war may come with dramatic suddenness . . . Hirohito is
still the god-emperor. By one stroke
of a pen he could relieve Japan's
terrors and make peace. There is
every reason to believe that United
States policy is preserving him for
that part in the drama."
Meanwhile, U. S. military chieftains, sticking to the American maxim that lhe game is never over until
the last batter is out, discounted the
peace talk and hewed to the big job
ahead.

Though supplies of chicken

is expected to remain unusually
strong for the remainder of
1945, reflecting scarcity of meat,

the rest of 1945 than in the corresponding period of 1944.

the senate
OverwhP.lmingly approved by the
house, tl&gt;.e Bretton Woods monetary
agreements creating a bank of recanstruction and fund for stabilizing
currencies passed the senate, with
Taft (Rep., Ohio) leading a losing
fight against the measures.
Charging that high pressure tactics have been employed to sell the
agreements to the country, Taft
3ought to amend the $9,100,000,000
bank and $8,800,000,000 fund so as
to assure the responsibility of borrowers drawing upon American contributions of $3,175,000,000 io the
bank and $2,750,000,000 to the fund.
While proponents of the Bretton
Woods agreements declared that the
bank was necessary to permit the
economic development of foreign nations, and the fund would permit
countries to obtain currency at fair
levels for international trade, opponents charged that there were no
provisions in the plans compelling
the members to stabilize their internal conditions to guarantee full
redemption of their obligation:;.
Concurrent with the agreements,
the senate considered approval of
the house - passed increase in the
lending authority of the Export-Import bank from $700,000,000 to $3,500,000,000 to finance sales and purchases abroad until the Bretton
Woods pacts can be implemented.
With only 1 of 22 members of the
senate foreign relations committee in
opposition, the United Nations security charter was sent to the upper
chamber for speedy passage. Although not promising that the pact
would prevent war, the committee
declared it provided the basis for
peaceful settlement of disputes.

FOOD:
Plain Talk
Along with the war, food remained
the major item of interest to Americans, with Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson warning of tight supplies
into 1946 even while the Office of War
Information prepared to launch an
all-out propaganda drive to convince
the U. S. of the necessity of tightening its belt to help feed impoverished Europe.
Declaring that the present food
shortage was the result of faulty
planning last year' Anderson said
prior to increased production in 1946
his office would seek to relieve
present scarcities by stifling black
markets, improving distribution and
holding army and foreign relief requirements to minimums.
Except for milk, wheat, potatoes
and fresh vegetables, most foods will
remain in tight supply, Anderson
said, with continued scarcities in
meats, fats, oils, condensed and
evaporated milk and canned fruits
and vegetables. Rice and dry beans
also will run short, he revealed.
Meanwhile, the OWls mapped its
propaganda campaign upon orders
from the White House, following the
report that the U. S. would have to
provide most of the relief shipments
to liberated Europe. In addition to
pointing out the need for supplying
the continent, the OWl also will issue periodic statements on contributions being made by Great Britain,
Russia, Canada and other nations.
Pertinent to American relief shipments abroad, Senator Wheeler
(Dem., Mont.) told newspaper men
that after having been promised
adequate supplies by American authorities, Europeans expect this
country to stand by its word. "Already in Europe, people are saying
that they were treated better before they were liberated," Wheeler
declared.

Army Feeds Civilians
Since the liberation of European
countries began last year, the army
has shipped more than 2,000,000
tons of foodstuffs, mainly wheat
and flour, for "wake of battle" feeding of civilians in liberated and occupied countries.
Feeding of civilians in these areas
by Allied troops is an obligation of
the army insofar as this feeding
may be necessary to prevent disease, riot or unrest such as might
prejudice military operations, or endanger the lives or health of G.I.s.

CHAPTER XV

•

?olack said: "A lousy unfair
war."
Bill said: "Le's go to bed."
So they went to bed. Polack heard
Chuck crying in his bedroll, and he
said: "Smatter Chuck, feel sick?"
Chuck sobbed': "Hell of a war."
Polack said: "Yeah, hell of a war,
Chuck, go to sleep."
When M~jor Joppolo arrived at his
office next morning, two visitors
were waiting for him. One was
Quattrocchi, owner of the house
where Chuck, Bill and Polack were
billeted. But Quattrocchi had to
wait, because the other was Lord
Runcin, one of the Amgot higherups. The Allied Military Government was, and still is, a joint British-American affair, and as in the
higher echelons of the military command, American and British officers were sandwiched in with each
other. Lord Runcin was near the
top.
Lord Runcin was a man of about
fifty . He had wavy blonde hair and
bright eyes which seldom looked
straight at whoever he was talking
with. He took snuff. Aside from
the fact that he had a purely colonial point of view toward the Italians, he was considered to be a pretty good man for Amgot. Not the
least of his attributes was his energy. On this particular morning, it
was only five minutes past eight,
and yet Lord Runcin had been on
the road since six thirty, had taken
breakfast on American rations in a
wheat field, and had been waiting
patiently for his Amgot representative in Adano for fifteen minutes.
He was making a round of interviews, to try to pick up the best examples of Amgot work from each of
the occupied towns.
Major Joppolo showed him into
his office. "Wizard quarters," His
Lordship said. Lord Runcin affect!
ed the slang of his subordinates, but
he always seemed to use American
slang when talking to his British
m en, and vice versa, so that many
of them understood very little of
what he said.
This was the first time Major
Joppolo had ever had a tete a tete
with a real honest to goodness Lordship. He was surprised to find him
wearing shorts and an open collar
and no hat at all. His Lordship's
deferential manner, as he sat on
the other side of the Major's desk
asking questions, made Major Joppolo, who had once been a clerk in
the Sanitation Department of New
York City, feel quite important.
By way of making conversation,
His Lordship pointed a thumb in
Quattrocchi's direction and said:
"Your Italian friend is in quite a
flap."
The former Sanitation clerk said:
"What was that, Lord? I didn't get
that."
"Never mind," said His Lordship.
"Well, what kind of a job have you
been doing here, J oppolo?"
The former Sanitation clerk said:
"Well, I've been doing all right."
"Doing all right, eh?" His Lordship smiled and made a note of the
expression in his notebook, for future use. "What are the best things
you've done?"
Well, to show how the town was
financing itself, there was the muslin. A Liberty Ship had come into
Ada na harbor, and had discharged
a cargo of war materials- bulldozers, bridge girders, tents, and some
ammunition. Down in the bottom
of one hold the unloaders found six
pales of white muslin. The skipper
of the ship said he had to unload it.
The Quartermaster on the beach
would not take it. There were no
papers for the muslin, no consignment. The muslin had U . S. Treasury markings on it, so it was obviously Lend-Lease, and it was obviously lost. Major Joppolo heard
about it,' and seeing the rags on the
people of his town, he said he could
use it. He called his Civil Supply
director and told him about the muslin, and the director gave permission to sell it at a fair price. Major
J oppolo put two rolls up for sale,
And held the other four in reserve.
There was such a shortage of cloth
in the town that the two rolls were
gone in that many hours.
"Good work, Joppolo," His Lords hip said. "What else?"
There was the refugee problem.
On the day of the invasion, there
were only six or seven thousand people in the town; the others had all
run to the hills. Within a few days
there were thirty-two or -three thousand. The town got badly crowded,
.and one reason was that there were
a lot of refugees from the town of
Vicinamare. These people had come
&lt;down to Adana because the Allies
had been bombing Vicinamare pret~Y hard before the invasion.
Now
'that the battle had gone beyond

~

'W, "f, U. P'£ ...TURO:,_

Vicinamare, they wanted to go
home, but there was no transportation. One day the Major saw a
German bus driving down the street.
An American soldier was driving it.
Major Joppolo said to himself: "I
could use that bus." He asked
around and found out it belonged to
the En,ineers. So he called the
Motor Officer and said: "I'd like to
use that bus of yours one day a
week." The Motor Officer said it
would be okay with him if the Major
had proper permission. So Major
Joppolo called the Adano base commander who said it would be all
right. 'And a few days later one
busload of cheering, laughing people had started home. Now Colonel
Sartorius, head of Amgot for the
Province of Vicinamare, heard
about the bus a few days later, and
he got sore, and told Major Joppolo
not to do that any more. "Sometimes," Major Joppolo said, "I think
Colonel Sartorius is an awful dope."
Lord Runcin sa1d: "Do you mean
you think he takes harmful drugs?"
And his Lordship dipped into his
snuffbox.
Major Joppolo said: "Oh no, I
just mean he's stupid."
"Dope, eh?" His Lordship said,
and put the expression down in his
book. "Very good, what else?"
Well, Lord, the people of Adano
were so contented under the Americans that they offered of their own
accord, without anybody suggesting
it, to maintain the little American
cemetery on the outskirts of town.
So they built a fence around it and
painted it white, and Russo the old
stonecutter was making headstones,
and every Sunday the people took
flowers up and put them on the
g raves of the boys who had died
taking the town.
"I say,, His Lordship said,
"touching. What else?"
Food was pretty good. In the first
days, the Major had found five cars

of wheat on a siding at the railroad
station, had had it ground into flour,
and had been able to spare some
for the neighboring hill towns, which
were starving. He had given one
baker a very heavy fine, three thousand lira, for baking soggy bread,
for -refusing to sell it on credit, for
refusing to take American invasion
lira, and for having dirty hands;
and since then the bread had been
pretty good from all the bakers. He
had taken steps to send the fishermen out. He had arranged for the
people to have pasta, which they
had not had for eight months. Food
was all right.
"Good," said Lord RuJ1cin. Every
time Hi~ Lordship took snuff, Major
Joppolo's eyes nearly popped out
of his head and he almost forgot
what he was talking about. "Anything else?"
"Oh sure, Lord," he said, "this
town is much be tter off than it was
before we came in. You can't imagine how these people were ground
down. Why, they're so used to being afraid of officials, and so used
to making out forms and being
hauled up to court and having carabinieri ask them their names, that
they all put their last names first
and their first names last, the way
it goes on official papers, all the
time . Just like the Chinese.
"Lots of them have told me that
they're better off now than they
were before. For one thing, they
can congregate in the streets any
time they want and talk about whatever they want to. They can listen
to their radios. They know th ey
can get a fair trial out of me. They
can come to the City Hall and talk
to me any time they want. Mayor
Nasta had office hours from twelve
to one each day and you had to apply for an audience weeks in advance. I told you about the streets
being clean . Oh, there are lots of
ways, Lord, and if I have anything to do with it there'll be lots
more."

His Lordship was getting a wee
bit bored. He di~cd more and more
frequently into his · snuffbox and
looked out the window. "Fine show.
fine show," he said. "Anything bad
in this town?"
"Yes, there is, Lord," the Major
said. "One thing."
"I wish all of our towns had just
one thing wrong, Joppolo."
"Well, this isn't exactly bad, Lord,
and maybe it'll sound a little silly
to you."
:
"My job," said Lord Runcin, taking snuff grandly, "is to make sense
out of silly things. What is it, Joppolo?"
"Well sir, this town needs a bell."
"A bell? Why, Major, I heard
such a jangling of bells at eight
o'clock this morning, you might
have thought it was Christmas day."
"Yes, but this is a special bell,
Lord."
"I didn't know they had any special bells."
"This one was seven hundred
years old. It was just about the
most important thing in the town. to
hear these people talk. Mussolini
took it away . . . " And Major Joppolo told how the bell had been
crated up and shipped away to
make gun barrels, and how the people had come to him about it, and
how he had tried to track it, and
had found that it was almost certainly melted down, and at any
rate was in unoccupied territory.
Lord Runcin's colonial attitude
croJJped up. "Surely," he said,

"these people can get along with
the bells they have. We can't afford
to be too sentimental, you know,
Joppolo. Can't afford to le t these
people be too happy, you know.
Can't afford to let discipline get too
loose."
"Lord, I can't see that happiness
and discipline don't go together."
"Young man," said His Lordship,
taking a sniff for emphasis, "I think
I've had
little more experience in
these things than you have."
"Every time I've done something
for these people," Major Joppolo
said, "I've found they did two things
for me just out of thanks."
"Well, what do you want me to
do about this bell?"
"I just wondered, Lord, if you
could suggest a way to get them
another bell. Not just any bell,
you know, but one that could take
the place of the one they lost."
"Every time I need something out
of the ordinary," His Lordship said,
"I make application to the United
States Army. They have the most
extraordinary things, you know.
They gave me a jeep. They g~ve

current, you know, not like our current. I suggest you try the U. S.

"I haven't had quite the same
kind of luck with the Army, Lord.
You got some friend, or something?
Who do you ask for all these fancy
things tbey get you?"
"Just write General Wilson, W.
B. Wilson, Quartermaster Depot, Algiers. General Wilson told me he'd
try to get me anything I wanted.
Just use my name, Joppolo, he'll
find you a bell. I'm sure of it."
Major Joppolo wrote down Genera! Wilson's name and address.
"Thank you Lord " the Ma1·or said.
,
, it might work.
"That sounds
like
I sure want to get a bell for this
town."
Lord Runcin clapped his snuffbox
shut and stood up. "Well, Joppolo,
sounds to me as if you were doing a
wizard job here. Keep it up. It
you have any troubles, just give me
a buzz." And His Lordship left, on
the verge of a delicious sneeze
which he had been saving in his
nostrils for ten minutes.
Major Joppolo stared out of the
window, and he was wonderfully
happy, with the double happiness of
accomplishment and praise for it.
He was drawn back from his pleasant daze by a torrent of Italian.
It came from Quattrocchi.
"You Americans think you are so
civilized, you think you are doing
us a favor by disembarking on our
shores. You a r e no better than the
Germans. The Germans never did
anything in this town such as your
men have done. I gave you my
house. I did not mind giving you
my house. I thought the Americans
were civilized. You are the one
who told me they are civilized. You
said they would t ake care of my
house- as if they owned it. You are
a liar."
Having been praised so recently,
Major Joppolo was stung by this
dispraise.
"What do you want?" he said
sharply. "Stop this b abbling and tell
me what you want."
"I don't want anything. What I
have lost I can never get back, so
how' can I want anything?"
"If you don't want anything, why
are you taking up my time?"
Quattrocchi spoke sarcastically :
"I'm sorry it your time is so valuable, Your Worship." And then he
spoke angrily : "I have lost some
things which were valuable to me.

Plant food boosts grain yield.
CHICAGO -Better farm management during World Wm· II has enabled Americ-an agricult.1re to produce much bigger crops on smaller
acreages than were possible in
World War I, according to a statement made public here by the Middle
West Soil Improvement Committee.
"The tremendous upswing in agricultural productwn since Pearl Harbor has taken place without any
substantial increase in the total
planted acreage," the statement
points out.
"The present increase in output
has been accomplished by better
farm management, by more mtensive cultivation, by improved machinery and by the application of
more and better types of mixed fertilizers.
"One of the results, however, has
been the heaviest drain an the fer-

tility level of existing crop acreages
in all our history. Although the use
of fertilizer has shown a marked
upturn in the past three and a halt
years, applications have not come
anywhere near balancing the quantity of plant food removed by growing crops to meet the wartime demand for food and fibers.
"Thus, the soil's reserves Qf such
essential fertilizer elements as nitrogen, phosph()rus and potash are
being depleted.
To combat this
trend, a great soil rebuilding job
must be undertaken when the war
is over, when le.bor and material
supplies are more normal. The fei'tilizer industry which has broken all
previous production rE-cords in the
war years is equipped and ready to
meet all the demands for plant
food which peacetime soil replenishrn~'nt ··•'11 reCluire."

POST -WAR FLYING IN YOUR HOME TOWN
~----

By C. C. CAl\IPBELL,

Freedom of Personal Flight
The development of aviation has
been so rapid that many of the rules
and regulations made only a few
years ago to govern it, are already
obsolete.
"Not only arc
many restrictive
regulations considered needless in
,these days of advanced mechanical
controls and vastly
improved operating
facilities," says J o·
seph T. Geuting Jr.,
manager, Personal
Aircraft Council ,
"but it is contended
that they endanger
the ·whole future of
flying in America by
preventing many people from flying."
In order to call this situation to
the attention of the country and to
Congress and Washington aviation
officials, the Council has drawn up
a statement of policy on the "Freedom of Personal Flight."
Just as the airplane has made tremendous technical and operational
strides during the war years, the
Council points out, it is now necessary for the rules of flying to be
simplified and advanced in proportion.
The airplane's most important role
in the future may very likely be as
a private conveyance of the ordinary citizen, similar in social and
economic importance to the automobile, it is asserted. Yet the Civil
Air Regulations up to now have taken little cognizance of the personal
plane or its ownership and operation
by folks like you and me. Instead,
many of the ru"es governing fast

/lfember, Aviation ll"rit.,.
.4ooociation, Woohinfk&gt;n, D. C. - - - - - '

commercial flights of passengers
and cargo were appiied to those flying small, private airplanes. Naturally, as they now stand, they just
do not fit any more than rules and
regulations written for bus and truck
operation would fit personal automobile operation. Fortunately, regulations now are being revised to do
away with a great deal of needless
and time-wasting procedures and requirements.
Among the points which the Personal Aircraft Council makes are: 1.
the air is free; 2. airspace should be
available to all persons for all purposes of air travel; 3. ownership and
operation of an airplane should not
be restricted tQ any greater degree
than is the comparative use of an
automobile. The statement of policy also calls for termination of special clearance, light plan, and other
"paper work"; •d that no airport
built partly w-. public funds should
be permitted to exclude any type of
air traffic, unless specMl fields are
provided for such excluded craft.
Other recommendatioN would
make the right to pilot aircraft dependent solely on proof of ability to
fly with reas•nabje skill, and would
shelve many of the difficult but unnecessary qualifications for pilot
certification for personal flying.
Changes in traffic rules are also advised.
It seems unlikely that any one will
take issue with the purpose of the
suggestions. which is to make personal flying simple and easy within
reasonable bounds and thus advance
the whole progress of America's
aviation.
This is the oecond of a series of artleleo
on post-war flying and its eflect on con•·
munlty life, The next article "On the
Air Map" will appen.r in an early Issue.

Heavy rainfall aioue cannot solve
the water supply problems of scores
of Illmois towns now dependent
on deep wells that are going dry, according to Arthur M. Buswell. chief,
and Max Suter, engineer, of the Illinois State Water Survey, located a1
the University of Illinois.
Water lying in the deeply bedded
underground lakes is disappearing
at an alarmingly rapid rate, according to studies made by Buswell and
Suter over a period of years. When
this sut;&gt;ply has been used up, the
wells now drawing from it will go
dry permanently. Communities now
dependent on these deep wells will
have to provide themselves other
water supplies.
Many Illinois communities draw
their water from supplies laid down
in prehistoric times, according to
Buswell. These underground water
beds lie below layers of impervious
clay or stone. Surface water does
not seep through the stone or clay,
and therefore cannot replenish the
water source created in prehistoric
times.
In many cases it will be necessary
~r such communities to create or
find surface water supplies. This
means either they must tap existing
rivers or lakei or impound artificial lakes, as already has been
done by Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, Mt. Vernon, and more than
100 other Illinois communities.
More than 480 incorporated places
in Illinois now draw their community water from wells. Many of these
are deep wells, which tap the water
supply laid down in prehistoric
times, and these are the ones that
sooner or later will be compelled to
find new water sources.
Many other communities depend
upon so-called "shallow" wells,
which engineers term "dri • wells.
Driftt wells to some extent are replenished by surface water-rains
and melting snows which seep into
the ground.
Communities supplied by drift
wells also face trouble, according to
Buswell. In recent years wells of
this type have been using up the
ground water reserve more rapidly
than it has been replenished by rains
and snows.
Partly because of new concentrations of people coming to cities for
wartime employment, partly because of heavy use of water in some
air conditioning equipment, and
partly because industry in the state
has been making abnormally heavy
use of water, the "water table" from
which shallow wells in the state are
supplied has been dropping rapidly.
Contour farming which impedes
the water run-off and gives the
iround increased opportunity to absorb rains and melting snows is recommended by Buswell and Suter
to replenish the supply of shallowwell water. Contour farming also
impedes sheet erosion, which robs
the land of its fertile sc.il and fill~ 4
lakes and streams with silt, a menace to surface water supplies.
Nutritive Vegetable
Egg plant is an oriental favorite,
and used far more than in this
country. It is an excellent vegetable
to take the place of a meat c-ourse
however; and so is a good ve)?'etabl~
to grow in these days of strict rationing. It is also highly decorative;
if you plan to enter a basket of vegetables in the harvest show this fall,
an egg plant, with it:; f lo~sy dark
purple skin, is an absolute must in
arranging an attractive display. Its
nutritive value is high, and there
are many tempting ways of cooking it. It is well to vary the method of serving. Eggplant grows slowly, and should be started under protection. The plants require an even
temperature and do not thrive in
cold frames. A dozen plants will be
sufficient for an average farr.ily, and
.hey are ususally obtainable in the
markets.

SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK

By ELMO SCOTI' WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

DECENTLY the department
f t of the interitor issued a new
colored map, the first of its kind,
which shows how Uncle Sam
since 1790 has acquired the nation's public domain from 65
principal Indian tribes by some
389 treaties and numerous acts
of congress. A study of this map
shows that these cessions by the
red man constitute about 95%
of the public domain, or something like 2,600,000 square miles.
In so far as the aggregate cost
of this land was approximately
$800,000,000-that means a little
more than $307 a square mile or
approximately 48 cents art acre
-it would seem that Uncle Sam
certainly got a bargain in these
dealings with his red children.

less than a year. Four months after
the President had proclaimed the
Fort Laramie treaty, General Sherman (noted for his only-good-Indianis-a-dead-Indian philosophy) issued
an orB.er that all Indians not actually
on their reservations were to be
under the jurisdiction of the army
and "as a rule will be considered
hostile." Then came the announcement that the Northern Pacific railroad was to be built across the northern part of the Sioux hunting lands
and soon afterwards the Great White
Father sent surveyors, protected by
soldiers, into this region without taking the trouble to ask the Sioux
for permission to "pass through the
same."
In 1874 Gen. George A. Custer and
his Seventh cavalry were sent to explore the Black Hills-again without
asking permission of the Sioux to

so. That which made this arraignment
more telling was that Jt often came from

had hoped against hope that the day might
come when their wrongs would be redressed.
Sioux Had to Like It.
Since the Sioux didn't have much
choice in the matter, they signed the
treaty offered them. Here's what
another historian says about it (not
an Indian historian, but a white historian). George E. Hyde, author of
"Red Cloud's Folk-A History of the
Oglala Sioux Indians," writes:
But the object had been attained at last,
and under the cloud of war the government
had taken the Black Hills, the Powder River
lands and the Bighorn country. The pretense of formal agreement and fair payment which congress had devised to veil
this act of robbery did not even deceive the
Indians. The chiefs knew that they were
being robbed and that they were forced to
sign away their lands. Here are beef, flour
and blankets (said the United States) for
your lands In Laramie Plains and between
the forks of the Platte, which we took from
you before 1865; and here (said the United
States) are the same beef. flour and blankets for your lands in Nebraska which we
took before 1870; and (said the United
States, with an air of vast generosity) here
are the same beef, flour and blankets for
the Blacl• Hills. the Powder River, and the
Bighorn lands which we are now taking
from you. Jn all fairness, that is very near

"Sensational Reading

Noted by 93o/o
At Illinois U.

This Paper and the Nation's Top Magazines

Is there an increased acknowledgment and interest in religion among
young people? Statistics of religious preferences of students at the
University of Illinois point in this direction, and the University's students, more than 85 per cent from cccccacacoccocccccc~cccccccccccocooo
homes in Illinois, arc a cross-section ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
of the young people of the state.
When registering in the University,
each student indicates, o.mong other
data, his religious preference. Data
from the beginning of the 19·'4-45
academic year shows that 93 per
cent of the students on the University's main campus at UrbanaChampaign and 92 per cent of all 1
its students indicated a "church I
preference."
This is the highest percentag~
since the data were first recorded iJ.

Planm~rs and Owner

For everyone planning or owning
a home, new services are available
frorr. the University of Illinois. A
Small Homes Council has been
formed. It is issuing free non-technical circulars giving information on
many home problems, helping arrange and present Home Planners'
Institutes in Illinois communities,
and planning other activities.
It is bringing together and applying to the small home information
ft·om many years of University research in horne heating, insulation,
materials, landscaping, financing,
lighting, and many other subject;;,
and from many other sources. It
is planning for the possible erection
of test and specimen houses, and
for other new projects and services
in the small home field.
The council's first seven free circulars dtscuss "Storm Windows," "Selecting the Home Site," "Heating
the Home,'" "Solar Orientation,"
"Financing the Home," "Selecting a
Livable Neighborhood," and "Deiigning the Home." Others to be issued soon will discuss insulation,
fuel costs, chimneys and fireplaces,
interiors, painting, kitchens, and
landscaping.
Single copies are free to anyone
writing for them, and anyone requesting it may have his name
placed on the list to receive all free
circulars as they are issued. They
are easy to read, present facts in
language understandable by anyone,
and have many sketches illustrating
and adding to information in the
text.
The circulars also are being used
in the Home Planners' Institutes being presented under local sponsorship in various parts of the state
with the assistance of the University's homes council.
Local businessmen, chambers of
commerce, and other organizations
arc prescntirtg these institutes, consisting of a dozen public meetings
held weekly or at other intervals to
hear experts from the University
and other places discuss problems
of home building, ownership, and
maintenance, and to answer questions.
Topics at these meetings include
design and planning of a home, the
homesite, financing, business and
legal problems, construction standflrds, methods and materials, heating and insulation, plumbing, wiring
and lighting, painting and coloring,
furniture and flecorallOn, landscap•
ing and plantmg, and planning of
service areas such as the kitchen
and laundry.
The University's Small Homes
Council is providing suggested topics, lists of available speakers and
literature, and other services to help
these meetings bring authentic and
up-to-date information to Illinois citizens before the postwar building
boom begins.
Interest of the University of Illinois in homes goes back almost to
the very day it opened in 1868-77
years ago-for in 1870 the University
built a model farm home on its campus for the benefit and information
ot Illinois home builders. By coincidence, this 75-year-old house 1s
today headquarters for the new
Small Homes Council.
Check below any circulars you dealre, and mail to the University:

( ) Selecting the Home Site
( ) Heating the Home
( ) Solar Orientation
( ) Financing the Home
( ) Selecting a Neighborhood
( ) Designing the Home

Ocean Waves
In a high sea, waves may rise to
27 feet or in a gale, as much as 36
feet. Theoretically, the height of
ocean waves due to storms i:~ iaid
to increase in direct simple proportion to velocity and duration of
wind. Under this theory, waves 43
feet in height are possible in a
continuing wind of 50 miles an
hour; 50 feet with wind 59 miles an
hour; about 70 feet with wind 75
miles an hour. Of the highest ocean
waves ever recorded, so-called tidal
waves are the greatest and have
caused the most destruction. When
the volcanic island Krakatoa exploded in 1883, it is said that tidal
waves as high as 50 to 100 feet were
formed but this was not caused
by a storm. Normally, waves are
from 6 to 12 feet in height.

Average annual earnings o! the
factory worker in 1944 were the
largest on record, according to the
Alexander Hamilton institute. He
earned 6.2 per cent more than in
1943 and double the amount which
he earned in the prewar year of
1939. The gain in the factory worker's earnings last year was due partly to the highest hourly wage rates
in -history and partly to an Increase
in the number of hours worked
The factory worker gave more time
to his job in 1944 than in any preceding year since the predepression
year of 1929.
Wage rates in 1944 were 6 per cent
higher than in 1943 and 58.2 per cent
higher thun in 1939. This increase
was due only partly to a rise in
basic wage rates. Other factors
causing the rise were higher rates
for overtime work, shifting of workers from the lower-wage industries to
the htgher-wage industries.
There were 5.2 per cent fewer factory workers employed in 1944 than
in 1943. This decreas'e, however,
was more than offset by the increase in per capita earnings. Consequently, total payrolls last year
shovred a gain of 1.2 per cent over
the preceding year and reached the
highest level on record.
Beautiful Setting
Few great cities of the world-perhaps Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Hong
Kong-can match San Francisco in
beauty of setting. It fills the
northern end of a narrow peninsula
that separates the south half of
San Francisco bay from the Pacific ocean. The Golden Gate, a synonym for natural grandeur the
world over, separates the city from
a sister pemnsula to the north and
provides the narrow opening to
the immense landlo•~ked harbor-bay.
Though its greatness has been built
largely on the shirping trade that
has come into this harbor from the
west, San Francisco faces east. The
onginal settlements, that famous
waterfront artery, the Embarcadero, and today'~ downtown sections face the bay, not the ocean.
The Ferry building with its great
clock tower is the point to which
the entire city is ol'iented. It looks
across the bay to Oakland and the
other bay cities.

Soil Mold

A lowly mold that lives in the soil
eats insects, Dr. Charles Drechsler
of the U. S. department of agricul~
ture has discovered. The fine
threads of the mold, crisscrossed
into a fused network, send up little
finger-like columns that ooze sticky
liquid at their tops. Small wingless
insects, of the primitive order known
as springtails, get caught on this
natural tanglefoot. The mold then
sprouts new filaments th&amp;t grow into
the victim's body, sucking it empty
of any nourishing substance. The
newly discovered carnivorous mold
species has been given the botanical name Arthrobotrys entomophaga. Expanded into English, that
means "jointed clush:r that eats in-

aect.a."

"Hand in glove" is the easiest way
to launder most washable fabric and
'ea ther gioves, say clothing special,s ts. CC'tton und rayon gloves usually wash well as do pigskin, cape,
chamois, doeskin, buckskin, goatskin and calfskin in the washable
leathers. Never attempt to wash a
pair of leather gloves, however, unless they are stamped "washable"
on the label or inside the glove, warn
specialists. Gloves which have once
been dry cleaned should never be
washed. Kid gloves always require
dry cleaning.
Wash gloved hands in mild, lukewarm suds, squeezing and pressing,
but not rubbing or brushing. Wash
chamois and doeskin gloves off the
hands because they soften when wet
and may stretch or tear. Don't wring
or twist. Roll gloves i!l a turiGsh
towel to take up e~tra moisture. Jt'abric gloves may then be put on metal
glove driers, hung evenly over a
rod, or laid on a flat surface to 'lry.
To dry leather gloves, gently
stretch them lengthwise and bloy·
into each glove to shape it out.
L:.~y gloves on a dry turkish towel
away from heat or sunlight. When
gloves are almost dry, "fingerpress"
them by stretching the leather gently in both directions. Or,
work them onto the hands to shape
and soften them; then remove care[ully and lay out to finish drying.

M

Specialists say the following effects of color on human moods are
considered an average:
Red: A stimulating color which
excites and increases the working
power of the brain. Too stimulating
i! used alone.
Yellow: A stimulating color which
helps energize the brain; in color
therapy it aids in treating colds,
paralysis and chronic conditions.
Green: Not necessarily depressing; possesses cooling effects, useful
in the abatement of exciten4tmt.
Counteracts brightness of sunlight.
Black: U:seful for toning strong
colors, not actually depressing. Best
used in combinations.
White: Cheery, attracts sunlight;
but alone is cold. Stimulating if used
with red, yellow or orange.
Brown: Restful and warming; depressing I! used alone. Best effects 1
are noticeable when combined with
orange, yellow and gold.
Cloth Damage ·clues.
Breaks that appear in rayon cloths
after laundering may be the result
of too strenous twisting and wringing. Gentle squeezing is recommended because rayon is weak when
wet. Fold all buttons, buckles and
zippers inside cloth before running
garment through the wringer. Small
cuts appearing in bathroom towels
may be tra::ced to the man who wipes
his razor on any towel that is handy.
When dish towels are scorched, their
days of usefulness are soon over.
If curtains from south windows
come back from the cleaner "in l
pieces" and those from north windows return in good condition, suspect the sun rather than the cleaner. Long exposure to sunlight has a
rotting effect on fabric which often
does not show up until the fabric is
washed or cleaned. Pillow slips that
wear out before their time may have
been doing double duty as laundry
bags. The extra wear from dragginf'
and pulling, and the more strenuous
washing because of extra soil takes
its toll of the fabric.
Examine Garments
Before working over cotton, rayon
or silk, examine the goods for broplaces. Then hold it between
1 ken
the hands and give it two or three
gentle jerks. If it gives way anywhere-or even shows signs of
breaking-it may be better turned
in for salvage than used fQr clothes.
Hold old wool garments up to the
light to get an idea of where and
how much they are worn. Avoid
very thin spots in cutting out garments, or at least place them where
they will get very little further wear
or strain. Give special attention to
any faded places, for long exposure
to sunlight may have weakened as
well as faded the fabric.

Advice to Farmers
Who Want More Land
CHICAGO - Midwe stern farmers
were urged to "keep their shn·ts on,"
do some straight th:nking and avoid
overexpansion through the purchase
of additional land, in a statement
mad.~ public here oy the· l'vliddlc
West Soil Improvement Committee.
"Rising prices have already carried farm lllnd up the road dangerouslv far toward inflation," the
statC:ment declares. "If farmers
who have the itch to acquire more
land will remember t!le hangover
aftermath of World War I's farm
expansion, a good many pitfalls can
be avoided and farmers will not
jeopardize their future security.
"Instead of buying more land, the
. J undest investments a farmer can
make today for the future, is the
purchase and application of mixed
fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potash,'' the statement
says. "Compared to the current
price of farm products, mixed fertilizer is cheaper today than it has
been at any time in the past.
"Vast wartime crop production
schedules have intensified the need
for soil conservation now and in the
postwar years ahead. In the gigantic soil rebuilding job that lies
ahead, the fertilizer industry will
play an important role.
It is
equipped to meet all of agricultw·e's
coming peacetime p1ant food requirements, the same as it has met
the enormous v·artime needs."

UNITED NATIONS:
Relief Requests
Having already distributed $296,563,000 worth of relief to Greece,
Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, China and Albania, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
administration (UNRRA) has been
asked .for $700,000,000 of assistance
by Russia.
At the same time,
Deputy
UNRRAdministrator Roy F. Hendrickson revealed that trucks constituted the No. l priority for relief
shipments to facilitate the movement of European crops.
Under UNRRA regulations, uninvaded nations are supposed to contribute both toward the relief and
administrative expenses of the project, with the invaded countries chipping in only for running the organization. Of the $1,862,788,348 of authorized contributions of participa ting nations, it was revealed, the
U. S. share amounts to $1,350,000,000.

SUEZ TOLLS:
U.S. Balks
With U. S. troops pouring through
the Suez canal en route to the Pacific, and with toll payments already
mounting to over $11,000,000, the
government again pressed the British to absorb such charges under
reverse lend-lease.
In pressing the British, American
authorities pointed out that the
U. S. defrays the cost of British
ships passing through the Panama
canal, with such payments already
past the $9,000,000 mark.
Because the lend-lease act provides that a country can supply aid
from purchases with its own money,
the British say they are not obliged
to pay the canal tolls, since they
must be made in Egyptian currency.
As it is, the British declare, they
already owe Egypt large sums for
wartime purchases.

whole-hearted co-operation of most
of the leaders of both parties, sturdily supported by public opinion.
Secretary Hull was able to achieve
this harmony because of the confidence in which his former colleagues
held him and also because of his experience as a member of the legislative branch of the government.
Roosevelt could never have been as
successful in this endeavor and, because he realized that fully, he left
the matter largely in Hull's hands.

Chief Still
I One of the Boys
1

In the first place, President TruT"'an stepped directly from the UPper house to the vice presidency,
and ever since he left the legislative branch for the executive, he
has been acting as liaison between
the two.
Shortly before President Roosevelt's death I had occasion to interview the then vice president. I
talked about the forthcoming San
Francisco conference with him (as
well as the field artillery, of which
we are both alumni). He indicated
that he was holding aloof from any
public participation in the discussions of international affairs but was
attempting to carry on and to complement the work of Secretary Hull
\n promoting a sympathetic discussion of the Dumbarton Oaks agreement with members of the senate
foreign relations committee, the
house committee on foreign affairs
and others.
One of his first unorthodox acts
was to take lunch with some of his
old colleagues at the t.::apitol. This
was almost as if the king of England
were to attempt to enter the City of
London without first having a formal
parley with the lord mayor. But it
was a perfectly natural act on Truman's part-like his spontaneous remark to the effect that there was a
certain Chinese restaurant where he
. would like to eat while he was on
I the West coast. On second thought
1
he realized that, as President, he
couldn't do such a thing and admit. ted it with a smile.
The President's informal visits to
the Capitol haven't hurt him. Nor
his formal ones. Afrer his last appearance, when he delivered the
' charter, he lingered so long in the
senate chamber, shaking hands and
Patting backs, that an aide had to
1
:1int gently that he wasn't a senator
any more and must hurry back to
hie; work.
His cabinet appointments are

CHAPTER XVl
I found that your barbarians had
smashed my terra cotta head, it
was done by the Florentine Camilliani in the sixteenth century. What
value can you place on that? They
tore my Venus; it was by Giorgione.
What is the price of that? They
-smashed the glasses in which my
mother drank her bridal toasts in
Venice. How many lira do you
think they were worth to me?"
Quattrocchi began to cry, and became incoherent.
Major Joppolo was ~rious. ~e
called up Captain Purvis and sa~d:
"Purvis what's the matter w1th
•
your men?
Did you know they 'd
been behaving like a bunch of wild
men in their billet? This fellow
was good enough to let them use his
house and some of the stuff in it,
why the hell did they have to abuse
it? I want you to find out who busted up the stuff down at your billet
and have them in your office in
fifteen minutes." And he hung up
without waiting for the astonished
Captain to take a deep breath.
Major Joppolo walked around to
the other side of his desk and patted the sobbing Quattrocchi on the
shoulder. He said: "Come, Quattrocchi, let's go down to your house
and see exactly what they did."
So the two men walked down the
street to the beautiful house. Quattrocchi led the Major through the
rooms on the second floor and
showed him the broken things.
Major Joppolo was terribly depressed by what he saw. "There is
no excuse for it," he said softly to
Quattrocchi, who was beyond fury.
Major Joppolo took Quattrocchi
up to the M.P. headquarters. Captain Purvis had Chuck, Bill and Polack there. As soon as the Major
came in, the three boys stood at
attention.
"At ease," Major Joppolo said,
"but listen."
The three boys stood at ease.
"You fellows ought to be sent
home to the States," he said. "What
kind of an example do you think you
men are for the people here? How
do you think we'll ever persuade
them that we're decent people if
you behave like we all live in the
woods and have shaggy fur?"
Polack said: "We didn't mean no
hurt, Major."
The Major said: "Your intentions
don't make the slightest bit of difference. It's the result that matters."
Polack said: "We was doin' it for
you. Major."
"What do you mean, doing it for
me? How could you think I would
want you to do anything like that?"
Polack said: "We was lookin' for
a present for you, sir." Polack
thought that if the Major stacked
up to all the boasting Chuck Schultz
had done about him the night before, he ought to be able to talk
their way out of this fix.
The Major said: "Why would you
want to get me a present? I've
never seen you before."
Polack said: "We're just enlisted
men. We seen you before."
Major Joppolo said: "I still want
to know how you thought you were
getting me a present, and why you
were."
Polack said: "It was go in' to be
a goin'-away present."
The Major said: "Who's going
away?"
Polack said: "Well, Corporal
Schultz here said-"
Chuck Schultz said,: "You let me
handle this, Polack."
Major Joppolo turned on Corporal
Schultz: "Say, what is this all about
anyway?"
Chuck Schultz saw that there was
no way out. He said: "There wasn't
no excuse for what we done, Major.
We was very drunk. I think Polack
here's still a little drunk."
Polack raised a threatening fist
and said: "Why you . . . "
Major Joppolo said: "What's all
this about a present?"
Chuck said: "Sir, we just got some
kind of a drunk idea that you was
about the best officer we ever seen,
and we figured we wanted to give
YO'A a present. We thought maybe
we could find a present for you in
1he house. We knew you was Italian, more or less, and we thought
you'd like something Italian from
the house. That's all there was to
it."
Major Joppolo said, and his voice
was much softer: "I'm not Italian,
boys. I'm American, and sometimes I'm not as proud of it as I'd
like to be."
Then the Major turned to Quattrocchi, and he said in Italian: "I
har4lly know what to tell you.

payment can ever return what you

these men who committed the crime
are sorry for what they did, now
that they realize how cruel they
were to you. I wish to tell you,
Quattrocchi, that I feel less proud
of being an American than I did
yesterday. These men will be punished justly and severely for what
they have done. I want you to file a
claim for payment for what was destroyed, and I wouldn't blame you
for doubling the pr1ces. That's all
I can say, Quattrocchi."
Quattrocchi said: "I don't know
about most Americans, but I know
I can always get justice from you,
Mister Major."
The Major said: "Good day. Quattrocchi. From now on your house
will be kept nicely, I can promise
you that."
Quattrocchi left.
The Major
turned to the three boys. He said:
"I don't know whether you realize
yet what you've done to this Italian.
It's as if you had cut his arm off.
He loved those things you busted
up. Now I just told him that you
three would be punished severelyas severely as you have hurt him."
The three boys stiffened up a little.
The Major said: "I'm going to
make this your punishment: to have
this man's unhappiness on your conscience, and from now on to keep
his house as clean as if everything
in it belonged to your own mother.
That's all. You're dismissed."
Chuck said: "Yes sir, thank you,
sir."
Polack said: "Thank you, sir."
Bill said: "Thank you, sir. We'll
take care of the house."
Polack said: "Y.ts sir, we sure
will."

Major Jopollo was terribly depressed by what he saw.
Chuck said: "What'd I tell you
about that guy?"
Polack said: "That's the best guy
I ever seen in this Army."
Bill said: "The thing that got me
down was what he said about my
mother. Mom was always so proud
of her glass. Cut glass it was. I
feel like I busted it last night.''
Having weathered eighty-two winters, Cacopardo was not the least
cooled in his desire to help the
Americans by General Marvin's behavior.
Every two or three days he would
send a note to Major J oppolo. Many
were silly suggestions. Many were
about things Major Joppolo had already done. But one day he sent a
note which caught Major Joppolo's
interest.
The thing which interested Major
Joppolo in this note was the fact
that old Cacopardo blamed the black
market on Fascist graft. Now Major Joppolo was acutely aware of
the black market. He had intended
for some time to investigate it. Now
he did, and what he found was disturbing.
The black market was not the
fault of corrupt Fascists. It was
not even the fault of the merchants
who jacked their prices out of all
bounds. It was the fault of the invaders. Demonstrably, it was the
fault of the Americans.
There were two reasons why the
Americans gave Adano its black
market, and the inflation which inevitably went with it. One reason
was American generosity. Apparently the Italians thought the Americans were coming to their soil
armed mainly with cigarettes and
candies, for every grown person
asked for cigarettes and every child
shouted in the streets for candies.
And the Americans gave what was
begged. They also gave C Rations,
both cans which they had opened
and had been unable to finish, and
unopened cans. When they bought
anything, they figured the price by
their heart. And the second thing
was that when they bought anything,
and could not find an Italian-speaking pal to dicker for them, they
just paid what they figured they
would have paid in the United

Then he wrote in pencil on the
upper left hand corner of the slip:
"Usual copies for Division files. One
extra copy to be sent to Colonel
Middleton marked 'For General
Marvin's Information.' " And then
he tossed the slip in his outgoing
basket.
A couple of hours later a Technical Sergeant emptied Col. Norris's
outgoing basket, and in time got
around to making three copies of the
P\.lrple slip for the files of the 49th
Division, where they would be buried, never to be seen again. One

is too general a term and 1oes not
allow for distinctions as to s1ze and
type of landing facility, that it has
now become necessary tu provid ...
other designations.
Thus the Personal Aircraft Coun
cil of the Aircraft Induslnes As-:,c.
ciation of America has suggested
that facilities suitable for smaJI com
munities or for neighborhood land·
ing areas in large cities be calltd
airparks. Inte rm edi ate landing
places between cities, probably
spaced at intervals where distances
are great, are to be termed flight·
stops. Towns or communities that
have adjacent bays, rivers or lakes
upon which aerial watercraft or am·
phibian planes could land, may be
interested'in establishing air harbor:;.
Showing that towns may easily be
linked to world airways and pointing
out that "the airplane has come t1
Main Street," the Council has pre
pared an illustrated booklet entitled !
"Put Your Town on the Air Map,"
for free distribution to community
officials and planning groups.
It explai.I.s why the communit)
which has no provisions to accommodate personal airc~:aft will be
passed by in the air age. Where2
rails, roads and docks ha\'e bui:t
successful communities in the pas•
landing facilities for private planes
as well as for feeder or area type
transport planes will pact: U·c
growth of communities in the futurE.
In the plans and diagrams im:Iud
ed it is emphasized that no col'!"mt..
nity is too small for an airpark 01
similar landing facility; that the sizt
and cost can be regulated accordil"'r
to the needs of the community 01
its potentialities; and that airpark'
eventually may pay their way, bot!
directly and indirectly.

Northern Illinois communities primarily interested in business and industrial development will

of this promotional program. Other communities,
whose interests chiefly
center around residential
development, are bound to
reap the collateral benefits
which are invariably derived
from the broad growth of

Nonhero Illinois area.
Meanwhile, our Territorial Information Department "will welcome the
opportunity to be of further
service by cooperating with
the various local organizations working toward the

SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK

By ELMO SCOTI' WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

DECENTLY the department
f t of the interitor issued a new
colored map, the first of its kind,
which shows how Uncle Sam
since 1790 has acquired the nation's public domain from 65
principal Indian tribes by some
389 treaties and numerous acts
of congress. A study of this map
shows that these cessions by the
red man constitute about 95%
of the public domain, or something like 2,600,000 square miles.
In so far as the aggregate cost
of this land was approximately
$800,000,000-that means a little
more than $307 a square mile or
approximately 48 cents art acre
-it would seem that Uncle Sam
certainly got a bargain in these
dealings with his red children.

less than a year. Four months after
the President had proclaimed the
Fort Laramie treaty, General Sherman (noted for his only-good-Indianis-a-dead-Indian philosophy) issued
an orB.er that all Indians not actually
on their reservations were to be
under the jurisdiction of the army
and "as a rule will be considered
hostile." Then came the announcement that the Northern Pacific railroad was to be built across the northern part of the Sioux hunting lands
and soon afterwards the Great White
Father sent surveyors, protected by
soldiers, into this region without taking the trouble to ask the Sioux
for permission to "pass through the
same."
In 1874 Gen. George A. Custer and
his Seventh cavalry were sent to explore the Black Hills-again without
asking permission of the Sioux to

more telling was that Jt often came from

had hoped against hope that the day might
come when their wrongs would be redressed.

Since the Sioux didn't have much
choice in the matter, they signed the

another historian says about it (not
an Indian historian, but a white historian). George E. Hyde, author of
"Red Cloud's Folk-A History of the
Oglala Sioux Indians," writes:
But the object had been attained at last,
and under the cloud of war the government
had taken the Black Hills, the Powder River
lands and the Bighorn country. The pretense of formal agreement and fair payment which congress had devised to veil
this act of robbery did not even deceive the
Indians. The chiefs knew that they were
being robbed and that they were forced to
sign away their lands. Here are beef, flour
and blankets (said the United States) for
your lands In Laramie Plains and between
the forks of the Platte, which we took from
you before 1865; and here (said the United
States) are the same beef. flour and blankets for your lands in Nebraska which we
took before 1870; and (said the United
States, with an air of vast generosity) here
are the same beef, flour and blankets for
the Blacl• Hills. the Powder River, and the

Is there an increased acknowledgment and interest in religion among
young people? Statistics of religious preferences of students at the
University of Illinois point in this direction, and the University's students, more than 85 per cent from cccccacacoccocccccc~cccccccccccocooo

of the young people of the state.
When registering in the University,
each student indicates, o.mong other
data, his religious preference. Data
from the beginning of the 19·'4-45
academic year shows that 93 per

Planm~rs and Owner

For everyone planning or owning
a home, new services are available
frorr. the University of Illinois. A
Small Homes Council has been
formed. It is issuing free non-technical circulars giving information on
many home problems, helping arrange and present Home Planners'
Institutes in Illinois communities,
and planning other activities.
It is bringing together and applying to the small home information
ft·om many years of University research in horne heating, insulation,
materials, landscaping, financing,
lighting, and many other subject;;,
and from many other sources. It
is planning for the possible erection
of test and specimen houses, and
for other new projects and services
in the small home field.
The council's first seven free circulars dtscuss "Storm Windows," "Selecting the Home Site," "Heating
the Home,'" "Solar Orientation,"
"Financing the Home," "Selecting a
Livable Neighborhood," and "Deiigning the Home." Others to be issued soon will discuss insulation,
fuel costs, chimneys and fireplaces,
interiors, painting, kitchens, and
landscaping.
Single copies are free to anyone
writing for them, and anyone requesting it may have his name
placed on the list to receive all free
circulars as they are issued. They
are easy to read, present facts in
language understandable by anyone,
and have many sketches illustrating
and adding to information in the
text.
The circulars also are being used
in the Home Planners' Institutes being presented under local sponsorship in various parts of the state
with the assistance of the University's homes council.
Local businessmen, chambers of
commerce, and other organizations
arc prescntirtg these institutes, consisting of a dozen public meetings
held weekly or at other intervals to
hear experts from the University
and other places discuss problems
of home building, ownership, and
maintenance, and to answer questions.
Topics at these meetings include
design and planning of a home, the
homesite, financing, business and
legal problems, construction standflrds, methods and materials, heating and insulation, plumbing, wiring
and lighting, painting and coloring,
furniture and flecorallOn, landscap•
ing and plantmg, and planning of
service areas such as the kitchen
and laundry.
The University's Small Homes
Council is providing suggested topics, lists of available speakers and
literature, and other services to help
these meetings bring authentic and
up-to-date information to Illinois citizens before the postwar building
boom begins.
Interest of the University of Illinois in homes goes back almost to
the very day it opened in 1868-77
years ago-for in 1870 the University
built a model farm home on its campus for the benefit and information
ot Illinois home builders. By coincidence, this 75-year-old house 1s
today headquarters for the new
Small Homes Council.

Ocean Waves
In a high sea, waves may rise to
27 feet or in a gale, as much as 36
feet. Theoretically, the height of
ocean waves due to storms i:~ iaid
to increase in direct simple proportion to velocity and duration of
wind. Under this theory, waves 43
feet in height are possible in a
continuing wind of 50 miles an
hour; 50 feet with wind 59 miles an
hour; about 70 feet with wind 75
miles an hour. Of the highest ocean
waves ever recorded, so-called tidal
waves are the greatest and have
caused the most destruction. When
the volcanic island Krakatoa exploded in 1883, it is said that tidal
waves as high as 50 to 100 feet were
formed but this was not caused
by a storm. Normally, waves are
from 6 to 12 feet in height.

Average annual earnings o! the
factory worker in 1944 were the
largest on record, according to the
Alexander Hamilton institute. He
earned 6.2 per cent more than in
1943 and double the amount which
he earned in the prewar year of
1939. The gain in the factory worker's earnings last year was due partly to the highest hourly wage rates
in -history and partly to an Increase
in the number of hours worked
The factory worker gave more time
to his job in 1944 than in any preceding year since the predepression
year of 1929.
Wage rates in 1944 were 6 per cent
higher than in 1943 and 58.2 per cent
higher thun in 1939. This increase
was due only partly to a rise in
basic wage rates. Other factors
causing the rise were higher rates
for overtime work, shifting of workers from the lower-wage industries to
the htgher-wage industries.
There were 5.2 per cent fewer factory workers employed in 1944 than
in 1943. This decreas'e, however,
was more than offset by the increase in per capita earnings. Consequently, total payrolls last year
shovred a gain of 1.2 per cent over
the preceding year and reached the
highest level on record.
Beautiful Setting
Few great cities of the world-perhaps Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Hong
Kong-can match San Francisco in
beauty of setting. It fills the
northern end of a narrow peninsula
that separates the south half of
San Francisco bay from the Pacific ocean. The Golden Gate, a synonym for natural grandeur the
world over, separates the city from
a sister pemnsula to the north and
provides the narrow opening to
the immense landlo•~ked harbor-bay.
Though its greatness has been built
largely on the shirping trade that
has come into this harbor from the
west, San Francisco faces east. The
onginal settlements, that famous
waterfront artery, the Embarcadero, and today'~ downtown sections face the bay, not the ocean.
The Ferry building with its great
clock tower is the point to which
the entire city is ol'iented. It looks
across the bay to Oakland and the
other bay cities.

Soil Mold

A lowly mold that lives in the soil
eats insects, Dr. Charles Drechsler
of the U. S. department of agricul~
ture has discovered. The fine
threads of the mold, crisscrossed
into a fused network, send up little
finger-like columns that ooze sticky
liquid at their tops. Small wingless
insects, of the primitive order known
as springtails, get caught on this
natural tanglefoot. The mold then
sprouts new filaments th&amp;t grow into
the victim's body, sucking it empty
of any nourishing substance. The
newly discovered carnivorous mold
species has been given the botanical name Arthrobotrys entomophaga. Expanded into English, that
means "jointed clush:r that eats in-

aect.a."

"Hand in glove" is the easiest way
to launder most washable fabric and
'ea ther gioves, say clothing special,s ts. CC'tton und rayon gloves usually wash well as do pigskin, cape,
chamois, doeskin, buckskin, goatskin and calfskin in the washable
leathers. Never attempt to wash a
pair of leather gloves, however, unless they are stamped "washable"
on the label or inside the glove, warn
specialists. Gloves which have once
been dry cleaned should never be
washed. Kid gloves always require
dry cleaning.
Wash gloved hands in mild, lukewarm suds, squeezing and pressing,
but not rubbing or brushing. Wash
chamois and doeskin gloves off the
hands because they soften when wet
and may stretch or tear. Don't wring
or twist. Roll gloves i!l a turiGsh
towel to take up e~tra moisture. Jt'abric gloves may then be put on metal
glove driers, hung evenly over a
rod, or laid on a flat surface to 'lry.
To dry leather gloves, gently
stretch them lengthwise and bloy·
into each glove to shape it out.
L:.~y gloves on a dry turkish towel
away from heat or sunlight. When
gloves are almost dry, "fingerpress"
them by stretching the leather gently in both directions. Or,
work them onto the hands to shape
and soften them; then remove care[ully and lay out to finish drying.

M

Specialists say the following effects of color on human moods are
considered an average:
Red: A stimulating color which
excites and increases the working
power of the brain. Too stimulating
i! used alone.
Yellow: A stimulating color which
helps energize the brain; in color
therapy it aids in treating colds,
paralysis and chronic conditions.
Green: Not necessarily depressing; possesses cooling effects, useful
in the abatement of exciten4tmt.
Counteracts brightness of sunlight.
Black: U:seful for toning strong
colors, not actually depressing. Best
used in combinations.
White: Cheery, attracts sunlight;
but alone is cold. Stimulating if used
with red, yellow or orange.
Brown: Restful and warming; depressing I! used alone. Best effects 1
are noticeable when combined with
orange, yellow and gold.
Cloth Damage ·clues.
Breaks that appear in rayon cloths
after laundering may be the result
of too strenous twisting and wringing. Gentle squeezing is recommended because rayon is weak when
wet. Fold all buttons, buckles and
zippers inside cloth before running
garment through the wringer. Small
cuts appearing in bathroom towels
may be tra::ced to the man who wipes
his razor on any towel that is handy.
When dish towels are scorched, their
days of usefulness are soon over.
If curtains from south windows
come back from the cleaner "in l
pieces" and those from north windows return in good condition, suspect the sun rather than the cleaner. Long exposure to sunlight has a
rotting effect on fabric which often
does not show up until the fabric is
washed or cleaned. Pillow slips that
wear out before their time may have
been doing double duty as laundry
bags. The extra wear from dragginf'
and pulling, and the more strenuous
washing because of extra soil takes
its toll of the fabric.
Examine Garments
Before working over cotton, rayon
or silk, examine the goods for broplaces. Then hold it between
1 ken
the hands and give it two or three
gentle jerks. If it gives way anywhere-or even shows signs of
breaking-it may be better turned
in for salvage than used fQr clothes.
Hold old wool garments up to the
light to get an idea of where and
how much they are worn. Avoid
very thin spots in cutting out garments, or at least place them where
they will get very little further wear
or strain. Give special attention to
any faded places, for long exposure
to sunlight may have weakened as
well as faded the fabric.

"Ke.ep ; ou:: S irt On,"
Advice to Farmers
Who Want More Land
CHICAGO - Midwe stern farmers
were urged to "keep their shn·ts on,"
do some straight th:nking and avoid
overexpansion through the purchase
of additional land, in a statement
mad.~ public here oy the· l'vliddlc
West Soil Improvement Committee.
"Rising prices have already carried farm lllnd up the road dangerouslv far toward inflation," the
statC:ment declares. "If farmers
who have the itch to acquire more
land will remember t!le hangover
aftermath of World War I's farm
expansion, a good many pitfalls can
be avoided and farmers will not
jeopardize their future security.
"Instead of buying more land, the
. J undest investments a farmer can
make today for the future, is the
purchase and application of mixed
fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potash,'' the statement
says. "Compared to the current
price of farm products, mixed fertilizer is cheaper today than it has
been at any time in the past.
"Vast wartime crop production
schedules have intensified the need
for soil conservation now and in the
postwar years ahead. In the gigantic soil rebuilding job that lies
ahead, the fertilizer industry will
play an important role.
It is
equipped to meet all of agricultw·e's
coming peacetime p1ant food requirements, the same as it has met
the enormous v·artime needs."

UNITED NATIONS:
Relief Requests
Having already distributed $296,563,000 worth of relief to Greece,
Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, China and Albania, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
administration (UNRRA) has been
asked .for $700,000,000 of assistance
by Russia.
At the same time,
Deputy
UNRRAdministrator Roy F. Hendrickson revealed that trucks constituted the No. l priority for relief
shipments to facilitate the movement of European crops.
Under UNRRA regulations, uninvaded nations are supposed to contribute both toward the relief and
administrative expenses of the project, with the invaded countries chipping in only for running the organization. Of the $1,862,788,348 of authorized contributions of participa ting nations, it was revealed, the
U. S. share amounts to $1,350,000,000.

SUEZ TOLLS:
U.S. Balks
With U. S. troops pouring through
the Suez canal en route to the Pacific, and with toll payments already
mounting to over $11,000,000, the
government again pressed the British to absorb such charges under
reverse lend-lease.
In pressing the British, American
authorities pointed out that the
U. S. defrays the cost of British
ships passing through the Panama
canal, with such payments already
past the $9,000,000 mark.
Because the lend-lease act provides that a country can supply aid
from purchases with its own money,
the British say they are not obliged
to pay the canal tolls, since they
must be made in Egyptian currency.
As it is, the British declare, they
already owe Egypt large sums for
wartime purchases.

whole-hearted co-operation of most
of the leaders of both parties, sturdily supported by public opinion.
Secretary Hull was able to achieve
this harmony because of the confidence in which his former colleagues
held him and also because of his experience as a member of the legislative branch of the government.
Roosevelt could never have been as
successful in this endeavor and, because he realized that fully, he left
the matter largely in Hull's hands.

Chief Still
I One of the Boys

In the first place, President TruT"'an stepped directly from the UPper house to the vice presidency,
and ever since he left the legislative branch for the executive, he
has been acting as liaison between
the two.
Shortly before President Roosevelt's death I had occasion to interview the then vice president. I
talked about the forthcoming San
Francisco conference with him (as
well as the field artillery, of which
we are both alumni). He indicated
that he was holding aloof from any
public participation in the discussions of international affairs but was
attempting to carry on and to complement the work of Secretary Hull
\n promoting a sympathetic discussion of the Dumbarton Oaks agreement with members of the senate
foreign relations committee, the
house committee on foreign affairs
and others.
One of his first unorthodox acts
was to take lunch with some of his
old colleagues at the t.::apitol. This
was almost as if the king of England
were to attempt to enter the City of
London without first having a formal
parley with the lord mayor. But it
was a perfectly natural act on Truman's part-like his spontaneous remark to the effect that there was a
certain Chinese restaurant where he
. would like to eat while he was on
I the West coast. On second thought
1
he realized that, as President, he
couldn't do such a thing and admit. ted it with a smile.
The President's informal visits to
the Capitol haven't hurt him. Nor
his formal ones. Afrer his last appearance, when he delivered the
' charter, he lingered so long in the
senate chamber, shaking hands and
Patting backs, that an aide had to

any more and must hurry back to

CHAPTER XVl
I found that your barbarians had
smashed my terra cotta head, it
was done by the Florentine Camilliani in the sixteenth century. What
value can you place on that? They
tore my Venus; it was by Giorgione.
What is the price of that? They
-smashed the glasses in which my
mother drank her bridal toasts in
Venice. How many lira do you
think they were worth to me?"
Quattrocchi began to cry, and became incoherent.
Major Joppolo was ~rious. ~e
called up Captain Purvis and sa~d:
"Purvis what's the matter w1th
•
your men?
Did you know they 'd
been behaving like a bunch of wild
men in their billet? This fellow
was good enough to let them use his
house and some of the stuff in it,
why the hell did they have to abuse
it? I want you to find out who busted up the stuff down at your billet
and have them in your office in
fifteen minutes." And he hung up
without waiting for the astonished
Captain to take a deep breath.
Major Joppolo walked around to
the other side of his desk and patted the sobbing Quattrocchi on the
shoulder. He said: "Come, Quattrocchi, let's go down to your house
and see exactly what they did."
So the two men walked down the
street to the beautiful house. Quattrocchi led the Major through the
rooms on the second floor and
showed him the broken things.
Major Joppolo was terribly depressed by what he saw. "There is
no excuse for it," he said softly to
Quattrocchi, who was beyond fury.
Major Joppolo took Quattrocchi
up to the M.P. headquarters. Captain Purvis had Chuck, Bill and Polack there. As soon as the Major
came in, the three boys stood at
attention.
"At ease," Major Joppolo said,
"but listen."
The three boys stood at ease.
"You fellows ought to be sent
home to the States," he said. "What
kind of an example do you think you
men are for the people here? How
do you think we'll ever persuade
them that we're decent people if
you behave like we all live in the
woods and have shaggy fur?"
Polack said: "We didn't mean no
hurt, Major."
The Major said: "Your intentions
don't make the slightest bit of difference. It's the result that matters."
Polack said: "We was doin' it for
you. Major."
"What do you mean, doing it for
me? How could you think I would
want you to do anything like that?"
Polack said: "We was lookin' for
a present for you, sir." Polack
thought that if the Major stacked
up to all the boasting Chuck Schultz
had done about him the night before, he ought to be able to talk
their way out of this fix.
The Major said: "Why would you
want to get me a present? I've
never seen you before."
Polack said: "We're just enlisted
men. We seen you before."
Major Joppolo said: "I still want
to know how you thought you were
getting me a present, and why you
were."
Polack said: "It was go in' to be
a goin'-away present."
The Major said: "Who's going
away?"
Polack said: "Well, Corporal
Schultz here said-"
Chuck Schultz said,: "You let me
handle this, Polack."
Major Joppolo turned on Corporal
Schultz: "Say, what is this all about
anyway?"
Chuck Schultz saw that there was
no way out. He said: "There wasn't
no excuse for what we done, Major.
We was very drunk. I think Polack
here's still a little drunk."
Polack raised a threatening fist
and said: "Why you . . . "
Major Joppolo said: "What's all
this about a present?"
Chuck said: "Sir, we just got some
kind of a drunk idea that you was
about the best officer we ever seen,
and we figured we wanted to give
YO'A a present. We thought maybe
we could find a present for you in
1he house. We knew you was Italian, more or less, and we thought
you'd like something Italian from
the house. That's all there was to
it."
Major Joppolo said, and his voice
was much softer: "I'm not Italian,
boys. I'm American, and sometimes I'm not as proud of it as I'd
like to be."
Then the Major turned to Quattrocchi, and he said in Italian: "I
har4lly know what to tell you.
l know that no apologies and no
payment can ever return what you
haYe lolt. I wish to tell you that

these men who committed the crime
are sorry for what they did, now
that they realize how cruel they
were to you. I wish to tell you,
Quattrocchi, that I feel less proud
of being an American than I did
yesterday. These men will be punished justly and severely for what
they have done. I want you to file a
claim for payment for what was destroyed, and I wouldn't blame you
for doubling the pr1ces. That's all
I can say, Quattrocchi."
Quattrocchi said: "I don't know
about most Americans, but I know
I can always get justice from you,
Mister Major."
The Major said: "Good day. Quattrocchi. From now on your house
will be kept nicely, I can promise
you that."
Quattrocchi left.
The Major
turned to the three boys. He said:
"I don't know whether you realize
yet what you've done to this Italian.
It's as if you had cut his arm off.
He loved those things you busted
up. Now I just told him that you
three would be punished severelyas severely as you have hurt him."
The three boys stiffened up a little.
The Major said: "I'm going to
make this your punishment: to have
this man's unhappiness on your conscience, and from now on to keep

Major Jopollo was terribly depressed by what he saw.
Chuck said: "What'd I tell you
about that guy?"
Polack said: "That's the best guy
I ever seen in this Army."
Bill said: "The thing that got me
down was what he said about my
mother. Mom was always so proud
of her glass. Cut glass it was. I
feel like I busted it last night.''
Having weathered eighty-two winters, Cacopardo was not the least
cooled in his desire to help the
Americans by General Marvin's behavior.
Every two or three days he would
send a note to Major J oppolo. Many
were silly suggestions. Many were
about things Major Joppolo had already done. But one day he sent a
note which caught Major Joppolo's
interest.
The thing which interested Major
Joppolo in this note was the fact
that old Cacopardo blamed the black
market on Fascist graft. Now Major Joppolo was acutely aware of
the black market. He had intended
for some time to investigate it. Now
he did, and what he found was disturbing.
The black market was not the
fault of corrupt Fascists. It was
not even the fault of the merchants
who jacked their prices out of all
bounds. It was the fault of the invaders. Demonstrably, it was the
fault of the Americans.
There were two reasons why the
Americans gave Adano its black
market, and the inflation which inevitably went with it. One reason
was American generosity. Apparently the Italians thought the Americans were coming to their soil
armed mainly with cigarettes and
candies, for every grown person
asked for cigarettes and every child
shouted in the streets for candies.
And the Americans gave what was
begged. They also gave C Rations,
both cans which they had opened
and had been unable to finish, and
unopened cans. When they bought
anything, they figured the price by
their heart. And the second thing
was that when they bought anything,
and could not find an Italian-speaking pal to dicker for them, they
just paid what they figured they
would have paid in the United

Then he wrote in pencil on the
upper left hand corner of the slip:
"Usual copies for Division files. One
extra copy to be sent to Colonel
Middleton marked 'For General
Marvin's Information.' " And then
he tossed the slip in his outgoing
basket.
A couple of hours later a Technical Sergeant emptied Col. Norris's
outgoing basket, and in time got
around to making three copies of the
P\.lrple slip for the files of the 49th
Division, where they would be buried, never to be seen again. One

is too general a term and 1oes not
allow for distinctions as to s1ze and
type of landing facility, that it has
now become necessary tu provid ...
other designations.
Thus the Personal Aircraft Coun
cil of the Aircraft Induslnes As-:,c.
ciation of America has suggested
that facilities suitable for smaJI com
munities or for neighborhood land·
ing areas in large cities be calltd
airparks. Inte rm edi ate landing
places between cities, probably
spaced at intervals where distances
are great, are to be termed flight·
stops. Towns or communities that
have adjacent bays, rivers or lakes
upon which aerial watercraft or am·
phibian planes could land, may be
interested'in establishing air harbor:;.
Showing that towns may easily be
linked to world airways and pointing
out that "the airplane has come t1
Main Street," the Council has pre
pared an illustrated booklet entitled !
"Put Your Town on the Air Map,"
for free distribution to community
officials and planning groups.
It explai.I.s why the communit)
which has no provisions to accommodate personal airc~:aft will be
passed by in the air age. Where2
rails, roads and docks ha\'e bui:t
successful communities in the pas•
landing facilities for private planes
as well as for feeder or area type
transport planes will pact: U·c
growth of communities in the futurE.
In the plans and diagrams im:Iud
ed it is emphasized that no col'!"mt..
nity is too small for an airpark 01
similar landing facility; that the sizt
and cost can be regulated accordil"'r
to the needs of the community 01
its potentialities; and that airpark'
eventually may pay their way, bot!
directly and indirectly.

of this promotional program. Other communities,
whose interests chiefly
center around residential
development, are bound to
reap the collateral benefits
which are invariably derived
from the broad growth of
industrial activity in the

Meanwhile, our Territorial Information Department "will welcome the
opportunity to be of further
service by cooperating with
the various local organizations working toward the

Russia's Declaration of War
And Atomic Bomb Combine
To Stagger Collapsing Japs
Coming on top of the American introduction of the ea~th-sh~k­
ing atomic-bomb, Russia's declaration of war on Japan ra1sed h1gh
hopes for an early finish to the Pacific conflict, raging in bloody
island-to-island fighting since recovery of U. S. strength following Pearl Harbor.
Having previously disclosed
the dropping of the mighty new
explosive on Japan, President
Harry S. Truman also was the
first to reveal Russia's entrance
into the Pacific war to the U. S.,
putting him in the position of
having made two historic announcements within a few days.
In declaring war on Japan, Russi&lt;. n Foreign Commissar Molotov
stated that the Reds had decided on
hostilities as a means for restoring
peace quickly in the Far East after
the Nipponese had turned down the
U. S., British and Chinese demand
for unconditional surrender at Potsdam, thus ending Moscow's role as
an intermediary in the conflict.
With the Russians possessing large
forces along the Siberian border,
and excellent locations for air bases
for short-range bombardment of the
Japanese homeland, th~ Reds decision to cross swords with the Nipponese was expected to prove of invaluable assistance in shortening the
war. Of the 4,000,000 men constituting the Japanese army, 1,250,000
have been reported massed in Manchuria opposite Russian territory,
with
another 900,000 stationed
throughout China.
Having first come to grips over 40
years ago in the Orient, Far Eastern
relations between the two powers
have always remained touchy, with
border clashes between Russian and
Japanese troops in 1939 threatening
to explode in major conflict. At that
time. Marshal Gregory Zhukov, who
was later to lead the Russian smash
into Berlin, commanded Red soldiers in Siberia.
All through the German-Russian
war, a Japanese attack on Russia's
rear in Siberia was feared, with the
Nipponese reportedly prepared to
take the jump in 1942 before the
Nazi setback at Stalingrad inspired
caution. On the face, Japanese-Russian relations were guided by the
neutrality pact of 1941 which the
Reds signed with the Germans

then found itself free to take a stiffer stand in the Far East.
With Russia's entrance into the
war, the Allied world speculated on
the price Premier Stalin would exact for Red participation in the drive
to overthrow the Nipponese and end
the conflict quickly. A shrewd bargainer, interested in material advantages rather than idealistic attainments, the mustached chieftain
of the Kremlin reportedly had an eye
not only on Inner Mongolia, but on
Manchuria and Korea as well.
Historians were quick to point out
that Russia has always had a rough
and rugged time in the affairs of
the Far East. There are some old
scores which she had to settle with
Japan.
Pushed out of her once-important
place in Asia after the Russo-Japanese conflict of 1904-05 because of the
loss of the Manchurian railway empire-and the southern half of the
island of Sakhalin with its rich timber and oil resources, Russia has
been smarting ever since.
Even the Russian revolution which
saw the end of the czars did not
change this leeling. In fact, under
the Soviet, Russia's interest in the
Far East suffered even more. Chinese pressure forced her to lose control of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The Japs pressed for additional concessions in oriental waters.
They got them. Valuable fishing
privileges were granted to them by
Russia. Tokyo enjoyed these for
years.
Meanwhile, by 1931, Japan was
spreading its power with full
strength. and reached out to grab
Manchuria. Russian strength in that
area was reduced still more.
Japan continued to rule Ma nchuria
and parts of China with ever-increasing violence until t he outbreak
of the war with Chtna. Grabs of power ani"! land finally led to war with
Britam and the Uni~ed States, the
gre.;~t powers of the west.

ATOMIC BOMB:
Earth Shaking
Best kept secret of the war, the
sensational atomic bomb electrified
the Allied world with its possibilities for bringing the Japanese soon
to their knees and revolutionizing
postwar life, while staggering the
enemy with its terrible destructive
potentialities.
Armed with the new weapon,
which promises to outmode all existing forms of armaments on land and
sea and air, the U. S. was in a position to deliver another unconditional
surrender ultimatum to the Japanese, this time threatening to wreak
even greater ruin than that being
wrought by the swarms of Flying
Forts now bombarding the empire.
In a war already noted for the
remotely-controlled buzz bomb and
rocket developed by the Germans,
the atomic bomb remains the outstanding scientific product, embodying, as it does, the magic substance,

uranium, known as U-235-the 235
representing its weight in atoms,
the smallest particles · of matter.
First isolated in 1789, uranium is a
metallic element found along with
radium in pitchblende and carnotite
ore, and possessing great powers of
energy through its explosive atomic
contents.
With Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves
in overall charge of production of
the atomic bomb, and with Dr. J. R.
Oppenheimer of the University of
California responsible for the technical development of it, special
pains were taken to preserve the
secrecy of the explosive, packing a
force greater than 20,000 tons of
TNT.
At Richland, Wash. , the hug!!
plant, sprawling over 400,000 acres,
was divided into three parts, one for
the production of the material; another for its refinement, and the
third for storing raw materials.
Some idea of the terrific explosive
effect of the new atomic bomb on
the harassed Japanese cities can be
gleaned from the results of the· test
of the charge in the desert lands of
New Mexico.
With U-235 giving off heat, light
and power, the explosion lit the
countryside for miles around with a
brightness even greater than day,
with the flash seen 520 miles away
at Needles, Calif., and a blind girl
near Albuquerque, N. M., noting the
presence of a flash shortly before
the detonation.
The explosion itself set off a heavy
pressure wave, which knocked
down two men at a control center
10,000 yards away, and completely
vaporized the steel tower upon which
the atomic bomb rested. A huge
multi-colored cloud surged upward
to over 40,000 feet, commanding the
sky.
In dropping a single 400-pound
charge on the rail and industrial
center of Hiroshima, one B-29
wiped out 60 per cent of the once
thriving
Honshu
municipality,
army air force reconnaissance reported. Fires swept extensively over
the stricken area and only a few concrete structures remained standing
in the heart of the city, with the
interior of these even scorched.
In the welter of excitement over
the atomic bomb, the tremendous
possibilities of harnessing U-235 to
peacetime uses commanded popular
attention. Any hopes that the material might be immediately available, however, were spiked by war
department reports that much additional research was needed for designing machinery for producing
peacetime energy.
Realization of the terrific destructive potentialities of the atomic
bomb sobered jubilation over President Truman's announcement of its
usage to bring the enemy to his
knees.
Comment ranged from the
statement of Senator Capper (Rep.,
Kans.) that "I hope we can control
it" to the declaration of Representative Lea (Dem., Calif.) "This emphasizes the necessity of the nations
providing some method of settling
disputes without recourse to war.
Otherwise, it might mean the end of
civilization."

In the face of severe congressional
criticism over maintenance of
7,000,000 men in uniform for a onefront war following Germany's defeat, the army revealed that it would
not revise its point system for discharge as previously planned for
July.

THE STORY THUS FAR: The Amerl·
can troops arrived 1o Adano, witb Major
Joppolo, the Aro,ot officer In charge.
Ser,eaot Borth was In charge of securl·
ty. The Major was determined t.o bold
the confidence of the people and t.o re·
place their beU 1lolen by the Nuls. De·
spite orders Issued by General Marvin,
barring carts from the city, Joppolo re·
c:aUed the order, to permit food and wa·
ter t.o enter the cUy. Lord Runcln, hiJ:h
British official on tbe Amgot, approved
of Joppolo's plans. Tbe l'tlajor round out
that the American ~:enero lty was re·
pon•lble lor a troublesome black mar·
ket. To stop this condition be placed a
ceiling on aU prices. He also barred
troops from the city.

CHAPTER XVII

•

The Lieutenant said: "Sure he was.
lt's easy to see he was. And if
General Marvin ever lays eyes on
this Information copy, it'll be just
too bad for the Major."
"Yes, sir," said the Technical
Sergeant, to be on the safe side.
Lieutenant Butters said: "Here,
you file these, I'll take care of the
Information copy."
"Yes, sir," the Technical Sergeant said, taking the copies.
The Lieutenant said: "That Marvin trimmed me down once for
something I didn't do. I never have
liked him. I don't know this Major,
but I think it would be a shame if
he caught a trimming just for this."
"Yes, sir," the Technical Sergeant
said. Then he frowned and added:
"You aren't going to get me in
trouble, are you, sir, like when that
letter to Colonel Norris from the
P.R.O. got 'lost'?"
"No, don't worry," the Lieutenant said.
But the Technical Sergeant did
worry for several days, until he got
up the courage to ask the Lieutenant: "Sir, what did you ever do
about that Information copy I made
for General Marvin? You didn't
throw it away, did you? Colonel
Norris is liable to ask me about it."
"I wish I had thrown it away,"
Lieutenant Butters said. "I didn't
have the guts. I put it in the courier pouch for Algiers. You know
how much stuff we've been losing on
~hat run.
I thought maybe-"
The Technical Sergeant, relieved
of his worry, smiled and said: "It
might get lost accidentally on purpose?"
Mayor Nasta had just come out
from his daily repentance before
Sergeant Borth. He walked across
the way to the broad sidewalk in
front of the Palazzo. Every day
knots of people gathered on that
side walk, some just to pass the time
of day, some to air their perennial
complaints, some to get in touch
with the town's mean little lawyers,
whose office was that sidewalk,
Mayor Nasta walked up to one
such knot. There were about ten
people, and he found that they were
&lt;liro;cussing the war.
He waited for his chance, and
said : "I got some news from the interior yesterday afternoon."
Mercurio Salvatore the crier was
so far gone in boldness that he said:
' 'We have no desire for news from
the one who is no longer Mayor."
Mayor Nasta remembered the
time when he would have put the
&lt;::rier in jail for a whole year for
saying something like that, but now
ne said: "This news came from the
son of your friend Afronti, the noisy
cartman. The boy deserted on the
first day of the invasion and he is
now here. Perhaps you know him.
He is an honest boy."
The Mayor's poison was beginning to take hold. "If that is the
case." said the lazy Fatta, who
was to be found on this stretch of
sidewalk every morning, "if that is
the case, what did he say that was
so interesting?"
"He said that our friends the Germans are mounting a counterattack."
"There is nothing new in that,"
said Father Pensovecchio. "They
have counterattacked before. They
counterattacked near Vicinamare
and it did them no good. They
were thrown back. They will be
thrown back again."
"Not this time," said Mayor Nasta. "This time they will employ
five fresh divisions. They have the
crack 29th Panzers and the Pilsener
Division. These are good troops.
This time they will not be thrown
back. They intend to push the Americans into the sea."
The lazy Fatta, who had no sense
about the news, said: "When will
this 1 attack come? I think I will go
to the hills."
Mayor Nasta looked very important, as he used to in the old days.
"I should not tell you this," he said,
"but the attack will begin on the
morning of the twenty-third, at four
o'clock in the morning. You can
expect the Americans to be pushed
into the sea between the twenty!ifth and the twenty-eighth."
The impressionable ones were beginning to believe him. Laura Sqfia, the unmarried one, who stood
about on this sidewalk in the belief
that she might catch a husband that
way, said: "The twenty-third, that is
next Wednesday."
But Mercuno Salvatore, who had
been treated well by the Americans,
refused to believe that they were
leaving. "I do not believe it," he
said. "The Americans will stop the
attack ." Even the crier was now
willine tn believe that there was

going to be an attack. All he would
not beUeve was that the Germans
would succeed.
Mayor Nasta said : "The Americans will not stop it. The Americans may be friendly, but they are
not good fighters."
Margherita, the formidable wife
of Craxi, said with a threatening
look: "Liar!"
But Mayor Nasta said: "This is
not my opinion. This is the opinion
of the son of Afronti, the noisy cartman. You know the boy. You know
that he is honest. He says that the
Americans are timid in battle. He
says that our own troops could even
beat the Americans."
Mercurio Salvatore, the crier, was
reduced to saying: "I do not believe it."
Mayor Nasta said: "It is true.
This boy fought in Tunisia. He says
that at the place called El Guettar
the Americans did not press their
attack, he says that they behaved
like frightened men and were defeated. The British can fight, per·
haps, but not the Americans."
The formidable Margherita said:
"It is a dirty lie," but there was
no anger in her voice, 1t was nearly
drained o~ conviction.
This man Nasta was a very persuasive man. He had persuaded
himself into office, and he had persuaded the people into fear of him,
and now it was easy for him to persuade them to mistrust the Americans.
Mayor Nasta said: "The son of
Afronti told me that in the interior

This man Nasta was a very persuasive man.
the Americans behaved themselves
very badly. They were generous to
us along the coast because they had
to have a beachhead, but in the interior they have been different. Negro troops have raped seven Italian
girls. There has been much looting."
The lazy Fatta said: "I hear that
the Americans looted the beautiful
house of Quattrocchi right here in
Adana. They did much damage."
Mayor Nasta said: "Yes, that is
true, I talked with Quattrocchi yesterday."
The formidable Margherita said:
"What happened?" This was something close to home, and she considered anything that happened in
Adano more or less her personal
property, to use as gossip.
Mayor Nasta said: "The American vandals destroyed four hundred
and seventy thousand lira worth of
stuff in Quatrocchi's house. Heirlooms, paintings, sculpture, glassware. They said that Italian art is
degenerate; they did all this because they wish to impose American
ideas of art on Italy. That is what
Quattrocchi told me the American
Major had told him ."
Mercurio Salvatore, the crier,
said: "That I will not believe. The
Mister Major is our friend." The
crier was annoyed enough to say
this in very nearly his crying voice.
He spoke loudly enough to be heard
inside the Palazzo.
"Quiet," Mayor Nasta said. "He
will hear you and punish you."
"Why should he punish me?"
Mercurio cried. "I am defending
him."
"He is unpredictable," Mayor
Nasta whispered. "You will see. I
must be going now," he said, bowing to the circle, as if the fact that
it was beginning to grow embarrassed him. "Good day," he said,
"do not forget the twenty-third."
Each day when he came out from
his repentance before Sergeant
Borth, Mayor Nasta would go across
to the sidewalk in front of the Palazzo, and he would approach a different group, and he would tell them
pretty much the same thing.
Sergeant Borth allowed this to go
on for several days, because Sergeant Borth was a careful worker.
He waited until he was sure of all
his facts. He had his informers trap
Mayor Nasta into new exaggera-

tions and accusations. He made sure
that the son of Afronti the noisy
cartman had not deserted. He
checked with Intelligence at IX
Corps to make sure that the Germans were not expected to counterattack on the twenty-third. He even
went so far as to check with Captain Purvis.
When he was ready, Sergeant
Borth went to Major Joppolo. "Major," he said, "we've got to put
Nasta away."
The Major said: "What's he
done?"
"He's been plan ting rumors
against us. I hate to admit it, but
he's done it very systematically and
very skillfully."
"What kinds of rumors?"
"Oh, all kinds. He has quite a
few people thinking that the Ger.
mans are going to put on a major
counterattack next week. He e ven
has some of them believing that you
haven't been doing right by certain
young ladies in this town."
Major Joppolo blushed. "That
isn't true," he said.
" I know," Borth said. "I checked
into it. But they tell me the Mister
Major could make time if he wanted to."
"Cut it out," the Major said.
"That's what they tell me," Borth
said. "They say these particular
girls don't smell of fish, but their
old man knows a good fish when he
sees it."
"Cut the kidding," the Major said,
and that echo was in his voice. He
changed the subject qUiddy. "When
are you going to arrest Nasta?"
"In the morning, when he comes
in for his daily worship."
"Okay," the Major said. "Let's
keep him in the prisoners of war
cage for a few days, and not send
him to Africa till we've questioned
him a bit. I'm sort of glad to ha ve
him put away."
The next morning Mayor Nasta
was somewhat surprised to see, besides Sergeant Borth in his office,
two other men wearing brassards
marked M.P. He said, as suavely
as ever: "Good morning, Mister
Sergeant."
"And what crime would Mayor
Nasta like to repent this morning?"
Borth asked.
"Is it not the Mister Sergeant's
turn to pick a crime?" the Mayor
asked.
"Perhaps it is, perhaps it is. Well,
let's see. This morning I think Mayor Nasta will repent the crime of
not havin~ made good use of his
freedom. He will repent the crime
of having talked against the Americans.''
Mayor Nasta turned pale. Borth
stood up.
"He will repent the crime of having invented false rumors, of having told the gullible people here in
Adano that the Germans were planning a counterattack for next
week."
Mayor Nasta turned his head and
looked at the door. Borth motioned
to the M.P.'s to step into it, and
they did.
"He will also repent having said
slanderous and false things about
Major Joppolo. Also he will be
very sorry that he lied about the son
of the cartman Afronti."
Mayor Nasta W;lS white as a
sheet. "Lies! They are lies!" he
said.
Borth said: "Mayor Nasta is excitable this morning. And he had
grown so calm about hie repentances. Why is he excitable this
morning?"
Mayor Nasta was excitable because he knew he was caught.
"Lies," he., shouted. "My enemies
have been lying against me."
Borth said: "Is this a lie? Is it a
lie that you s aid yesterday m orning,
before fifteen people on the sidewalk in front of the Palazzo: 'The
Americans are such cowards that
they had to be pushed from their
transports into landing barges when
they came here'\' Is it a lie that you
said .
. " And Sergeant Borth
repeated word for word ten sentences that Nasta had said, as informers reported them. Sergeant
Borth had a very good memory, and
. he enjoyed deflating this man, and
he made a very terrifying show of it
for Mayor Nasta.
Then Borth said to the two M.P.'s
in English: "Take him away, boys.
He's getting noisy."
The M.P.'s took Nasta by both
arms. Borth said: "I'm going to
miss your daily visits, Mayor Nasta. I hope you will come to see
me when you get out, I mean if
you get out."
Mayor Nas~ said stubbornly:
"You will be sorry."
The M.P.'s took Nasta away to
the prisoner of war cage.
Mayor Nasta did not make a very
good start in the cage. The Americans had a forty-year-old, Italianspeaking Top Sergeant in charge of
the guard. The first time Mayor
Nasta saw •.he Top Sergeant walking in the enclosure, he rushed up
to him and said: "This is a mistake. I should not have been imprisoned. It was all a mistake."
"Is that so?" the Top Sergeant
said in a slow, Brooklynese Italian.
"You are another mistake? We have
several mistakes here. All mistakes
here must clean the latrine. You
are our newest mistake, so you wilJ
I have the privilege of cleaning the
latrine this week."

Wood Tar
The possibility of using wood tar
obtained from Douglas fir sawmill
waste in the production of high
grade antiknock motor fuel is
pointed out by three stafl' members
10f the Oregon forest products
laboratory at Oregun state college.
One of the most promising methods
of utilizing sawmill waste is in making charcoal, a by-product of which
is wood tar, which, though somewhat similar to coal tar, has been
studied but little. English chemists
found that cracking Douglas fir tar
produced a high grade antiknock
motor fuel. The yield reported by
these chemists, if applied to the
wast&lt;! from the annual cut of Doug!as fir in the northwest, would produce 25,000,000 gallons of motor fuel
with antiknock qualities equal to
il'l.ose of benzene.
Surface Cracks
No filling i~ ncedcrl for hairline
cracks if you are using a good oil
paint over a pigmented wall-primer
first coat. On other cracks, thumb
the open spots full of fine patching
plaster, floor crack filler or putty.
Force the filler right into the crack,
and scrap off the excess with a putty
knife. Sandpaper and cover with a
filler before painting. When yoo
are ready to paint, don't join the
majority of amateur painters and
use a brush that is too small for
the job, overloading it with paint.
It will drip and won't cover the
surface as well as a good fourineher. And be sure the paint is
really well mixed before you start,
and stir it frequently whil€ the
job is under way That sounds elementary, but it's lack of attention to just such obvious things that
~oils most paint jobs.

Good Diets May Affect
Nations' Fighting Prowess
Fighting accomplishments of armieP in World War II may be depencltnt on adequacy of national
diets, according to Dr. Agnes Fay
Morgan of the University of California. She points out that the protective foods in national prewar
diets of Germany and France fall
into the same order as the mortality statistics; the death rates
were llO per 10,000 population for
Germany, and 184 for France.
The better German record, in
health as in war, may originate in
the higher milk, fruit, and vegetable
portion, or the lower amount of '
cereal and sugar In the national diet,
she believes. Likewise, she indicates
that the B vitamin content of the
French bread is low and that of the
German bread high, since the
French eat white bread made with
little or no yeast, while German
bread is whole-grain, largely rye,
and made with yeast. She says that
German beer is a fair source of B
vitamins, but French wine is poor.
The food of the Russians is similar in vitamin content to that of the
Germans, Dr. Morgan explains. The
whole-grain yeast bread, vegetables,
milk and meat which they eat may
account for their physical and psychological stamina, usually characteristic of the well-nourished.

Soaking Speeds Up
Task of Dishwashing
Soaking saves time. in dish washing. Many dishes and pans used in
getting meals will wash more quickly and easily it they are filled with
water immediately after using and
a~lowed to soaJttuntil washed . The
exception is any iron utensil which
may rust it left soaking long.
A cold-water soak is recommended for loosening starchy foods, like
dough or cereal, and also for eggs
and milk. Avoid hot water because
it makes such foods "cook on" and
become more difficult to remove. On
the other hand, a hot-water soak is
best for utensils. which have held
sugary foods like syrup or icing because sugar dissolves faster in hot
than in cold water.
Greasy utensils should have all
possible grease removed-to save
for cooking use later or salvage-and
then should be wiped out with paper
and allowed to soak in hot water
containing a little baking soda. A
time-saving way to keep "everyday" silverware bright is to have a
little aluminum pan filled with hot
soda water near the dishpan and put
into it any silver, t arnished with
egg or other food or r ub silverware
with jeweler$ rougt,

Can-ots Offer Much
As W holesome Food
Currots ofl'er much in uppetizing
color, fine flavor and nutritive value.
To make the most of vitumins,
minNals and fiuvor, home economists otTer the following cooking
suggestions.
If carrots are peeled, peel thin, or
scrupe no more tbo.n skin deep.
Young tender carrots may not need
to be peeled. Just enough water to
prevent sticking to the pun is all
that young tender carrots need. Oldor ones need enough water to cover.
Have the water boiling before putting in the carrots. Cuver the kettle to speed the cooking, save fuel,
and conserve vitnmins.
Cook only until tender. Young carrots cook in 15 to 20 minutes, older
ones in 20 to 25 minutes. Slicing or
dicing shortens the cooking but may
mean greuter loss of vitamin C.
Variety in seasoning helps prevent
monotony, if carrots are served frequently. A little lemon juice over the
top, chopped parsley, or tender
onion sprouts, or chopped onion
heated in a little fat, are favorite
·casonings for this vegetable. LeftovC'r drippings from cooking meat
rH· good for pouring over carrots.
Waste Fuel
The great bulk of the tonnltt;'e
of Pres-to-logs (compressed wood
wr.ste) being made and sold is used
for .louse heating and for cooking.
They will perform satisfaotorily for
heating in most furnaces or heaters
built for use with solid fuels, al·
though to get the best efficiency
the volume of air must be considerably less than that needed for burning coal. For cooking, Pres-to-logs
are without a doubt a highly efficient solid fuel. Many restaurants
would not consider using anything
else. Several of the railroads use
them extensively tor dining-car
range fuel, including the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Milwau- f
kee, Northern Pacific, Rock Island
and Chicago and North Western. ·
The last two pay a considerable
sum in freight charges to connectjog lines in order to use this material, as there are no plants opera•
ating anywhere near their rails.

llookworm Saps Strength
1
While much progress has been
mane against hookworm in rural
ar..•us, it still continues to be a serious menace to the healtb of peopl&lt;" whose homes are not equipped
with sanitary sewage disposal facilit,t:'s. For many years, it has been
lmown that a person suffering from
hookworm does not have the energy,
strength, or general ability that
would be his if he were well. At
any time, it robs one of vigor and
strength and makes one more susceptible ,tp other diseases. It is a
serious economic factor, for a person who is suffering from it i~&gt;
not as able to make a livelihood qr
to progress as he would if Ql', were

Good mechanics are economists.
Whether a worlcrnan is a competent millwright or a graduate mechanical engineer, he is an enemy
of lost motion. And lost motion is a
menace to prosperity, serious as
fire. When an engine is running idle
it is only wearing out. When a machine is driven with its brakes on,
the waste is even more damaging;
property is injured and energy
thrown away.
What is true of a mechanical assembly is true of a human organization in this respect. The owners of
a farm or the stockholders of a corporation are no penny richer for
having a crew that works hard all
day doing nothing. Work is necessary on a farm; sweat and calluses
are only incidental; it's the· crop
that brings in the money and pays
the men who till the land.
Production Pays
Prosperity results from work but
not from all work. Prosperity
results from productive work. People who keep busy but do not increase the yield might as well be
resting. The man who figures out a
way to increase yield without extra
labor is the best man on the job.
He works with his brain; knows
enough to stop lost motion, to take
precautions against fire and the
like.
In England there is a magazine
called The Economist. It is Britain's
' leading financial publication. It is
read and respected by business men
1
and financiers generally. Just recently it has been running a series
of articles entitled "A Policy for
Wealth." The articles have shown
why En~lerld is poor; that is, why
the Engl»k people must put up with
Ilow living 1tandards.
Deserve the Best
A large and respected group of
Americans often say "Mother England." The British are a proud and
industrious people and the Americans respect them. The British well
understand how to enjoy and appreciate life's good things. They deserve to live as well as anybody but
they don't. What's the reason? Well,
here's what one writer for The
Economist, looking back at 1943, has
to say:
"Industrial efficiency, as measured by production per head, was
roughly similar in Great Britain
and Germany while in the United
States it was more than twice as
great as in the other two countries."
The statement is that of Dr. Leon
Rostas, based on serious study of
authentic records. Now there is a
movement on foot in England to
double her productive output per
man by 1972.
Lest We Forget
No longer ago than 1943, when
America and England both had full
employment, our American workers were twice as well off. They
were producing enough to live twice
as well as the British. About that
time Britain was investing only 3%
of her income in equipment for additional production. It was like a
woodman saying, "Why buy a file?
A dull saw pulls easier."
The British point to Americans
and say, "Look! They work less,
rn more and live better than we,
an because they encourage more
it.avestment in tools to produce more
teods per man." Now England wise1
ly plans to encourage larger investments to obtain greater production
per man-hour, higher wages and
higher living standards. Unless we
adjust today's tax laws, we will be
poor, watching the British produce
and prosper in 1972.

Example of Forestry ;

..

Some of the best examples of forest management in this country are
to be found on areas under the control of the water boards. The public
is willing to spend money freely for
the protection of its drinking water
and more and more water boards
are employing foresters as regular
members of their staff.
All of the arguments for forests
in relation to water apply to these
areas. These water commissioners
have the best opportunity of all of
our public agencies to really show
what can be done through forest
management. They are not hampered by lack of funds and they can
carry out experiments that would be
difficult on other publicly owned forests. Some of our water boards in
New England have had forest work-'
ing plans for more than a quarter of
a century and in a few places they
are now cutting sawlogs from the
plantations made when the lands
.were first acquired.
It is common practice for the water board to supply the Welfare department with fuelwood each year

cuttings.
The needs of the city for lumber
and fence posts and other products
are also Qeing met. Thus profits from
the forest products reduce the cost
of water to the citizens and lower
the tax bill. There are certain cities,
such as Seattle, Wash., and Spring-

Ten Per Cent of Army Veterans Want to Be Farmers;
Seven Per Cent Hope to Start Small Businesses
1\fore Than Half Will
Work for Wages Again;
8% Going to School
By WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU Washington Correspondent
Seventy-five per cent of the ?fficers and enlisted men in the Umted States army have definite ideas
about what they intend to do "when
they get back home." Another 20
per cent have made tentative plans
for their postwar work. A survey
by the research branch o.t .t~e information and education d1v1s1on of
the army shows that:
Fiity-two per cent, roughly
4,000,000 men, plan to work for
salary and wages;
Seven per cent, or about a ~alf
million men, intend to go mto
small businesses, retail and
service trades mostly, for themselves;
Ten per cent, or more than
750,000 men, plan to operate
farms;
Eight per cent, or about 600,000, plan to go to school. The
remainder have made only tentative decisions or are undecided.
The army, however, points out
that at least three factors must be
tul~en into consideration in interpreting the results of the survey: (~)
the length of the war; (2) economic
opportunity after demobilization;
(3) an increasing percentage may
~oeriously consider attending fulllime school, opening a business or
buying a farm under G.I. Bill of
Rights prqvisions.
One interesting feature of this survey reveals that 80 per cent of the
white enlisted men plan to return to
the states in which they lived before entering the service.
This
leaves 20 per cent who may migrate
to another section of the country.
As a matter of fact, 10 per cei)t, or
about 750,000 men, definitely anticipate moving to another state, the
other 10 per cent being still undecided. ·This ratio is heavier in the
Negro enlisted personnel where only
about two-thirds expect to go back
to the same state in which they reSided in civilian life.
Young 1\Ien Going West.
The great majority plan to migrate to the Far West. Among the
Negroes, the greater shift is from
the South to the northeastern states.
If the indicated shifts materialize
among these returning servicemen
they may happen as follows:
1.-A rapid expansion to the Paeific coast states.
2.-In-migration, but on a much
15maller scale into the industrialized
east north central states.
3.-No net movement, in-go balancing out-go • in the New England, middle Atlantic and mountain
states, and,
4.-A heavy out-migration from
the highly agricultural areas running from the west north central
states through the entire tier of
southern states.
If the plans for 7 per cent of our
soldiers to enter business foe themselves materialize, it means creation of a little more than a half million new firms in the small business field, or just about the number
which went out of business in the
two-year period following Pearl
Harbor. A great majority of these,
about 52 per cent, will enter the
retail trade . . . radio stores, filling
stations, shoes, hardware and general merchandise outlets. About 16
per cent plan to go into the service
fields, 9 per cent into wholesale
and small manufacturing, 8 per cent
Into transportation and public utilities, 6 per cent into construction,
the other 9 per cent being spread
over all other industries.
Of the three-quarters of a million
men who plan to take up farming
either as owners or farm workers ,
the survey shows that 9 out of 10
have had at leas t a year or more of
full-time farming behind them. Only
about 2 per cent have had no farming experience at all. Even the men
with relatively vague plans for
farming have had considerable previous farming experience. One out
of four of those who seriously plan
to farm, already owns a farm. These
men are the least inclined to migrate, this survey shows, and the
great majority of the prospective
farmers plan to return to the same
region from which they entered the
army. By and large, they expect to
go back to the same type of fa'rmlng with which they are familiar.
These three-quarters of a million
men who plan farming as a career,
are, roughly equivalent to the tota l
who were farming just prior to induction, although induction records
show that more than a million and a
half men have been taken from the
farms. These, however, included

Nortbeas't

farm youths who were in school and
were not classed actually as farmers.
Not Room for AU on Land.
According to the army, the
chances are thttt the nation's farms
will not be able to absorb all of the
men planning to return to them, in
spite of the current shortage of a
million farm workers. The army
says that rural areas normally produce more young men and women
than can be efficiently utilized on
the farm. The problem may very
well become acute considering the
wartime increase in farm production achieved by more efficient use
of labor on fewer farms.
A little more perspective on the

this group definitely plans to seek
governmental jobs.
The federal
government now is by far the largest employer in the country and the
monthly report of the Civil Service
commission as of May 1, the latest report, shows paid employment
in continental United States otaled
2,897,077, of which 2,001,186 were in
tlie war agencies. Of this number,
only 252,054 are in Washington.
While war cutbacks are expected
to decrease this number somewhat,
government work is expected to
maintain the upward trend which
has prevailed since the last war.
State and local governments nor·
mally employ more than twice as
many persons as does the federal

EXPECTED POST-W4R MIGRATION PATTERN OF WHITE ENLISTED MEN
(WIDTH OF BAR REPRESENTS PERCENTAGE OF ALL WHITE MIGRANTS)

problem may be had by a further
analysis of the intentions of these
men definitely planning to farm. In
the first place, the survey makes
it clear that a much larger proportion of the men want to become
farm operators, by either buying or
renting, than were farm operators
before the war. A majority say
they can count on returning to a
tract of land which they or their
families own . . . or they already
have in mind a specific piece of
land they expect to buy or rent.
However, one out of every three indicate they will need to locate a
farm to rent or buy after leaving
the army.
So if the plans of all these prospective farmers materialize, there
will be thousands of veterans looking for farms in the postwar period
. . . and they very well may come
up against a shortage of good land,
which may, too, be selling at much
higher prices than before the war.
So there is fear on the part of the
army that many of these men may
be forced to settle on cheaper submarginal land.
The army points out that relief
would be possible on this score if
large sections of public domain or
reclaimed land becomes available.
About one out of six veterans said
they would be willing to move on
such tracts of land.
The same thing is true with respect to the farmer-serviceman as
with the prospective business man
most of them are thinking of
investing sums ranging up to $4,000.
This may be compared with the department of agriculture estimates of
$5,000 to $8,000 as the average cost
of the family sized farm, not counting necessary tools, equipment, livestock, etc . . . . So these prospective
farmers will also need financial
help. How many will actually end
up on the farm will depend on this
aid, and on the comparative opportunities offered by industry and agriculture after the war.
In conjunction with the American
Historical association, the Armed
Forces institute has prepared a
booklet entitled "Shall I Take Up
Farming?" which is available at the
Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.
Most Will Work for Wages.
Of course by far the greatest segment of the armed forces plan to
work for wages on their return. Two
aspects of the plans of these four
million men are noteworthy. First,
only one-third of the white enlisted
men who were employees before
induction and plan to be employees
after the war, de finitely expect to
go back to their former employers.
Another one-third say they may return, but are not sure. This leaves
another million men who will either
migrate and move to other jobs or
who have learned new trades and
expect to do different work.
As a matter of fact the tendency
among a large percentage of these
servicemen is to aspire for work
calling for a higher l evel of skill and
in general, the proportion who plan
to pursue their prewar occupations
declines as one proceeds along the
occupational scale. Five per cent of

With its territory lifted up into the

crosses it from northwest to southeast, Costa Rica is-with the exception of its hot and humid coastlinea tropical country with a temperate
climate. Locked in between two
oceans, like a beautiful gem that
both the Pacific and the Atlantic
would claim, its luxuz iant highlands
are the habitat of jaguars and ratr
bits, orchids and strawberries.
In a territory roughly the size of
West Virginia it has a variety of

U. S. Cow Army Called On for
Peak Milk Production in 1945
\.

Pasture Improvement Through Soil Conservation Means More and
Better Feed.
CHICAGO.-Increases of approximately 2,400.000,000 pounds in 1945
milk production quotas will mean
that the Midwest's dairy herds will
be called on to step up their output to an all-time peak, according
to a statement ma.de public here
by the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee.
"The War Food Administration is
asking dairymen to boost 1945 milk
goals to 122,400,000,000 pounds, compared with 120 ooo,ooo,roo pounds
this year,'' the statement points out.
"Whether the nation's 27,000,000
dairy cows can meet these new wartime quotas IS dependent on steady

proper health conditions and adequate care generally. If these are
provided, cattle will do their part.
"Of essential importance is plenty
of edible, body • building pasture
crops. The dairy farmer's surest
means of providing this for his herds
is to undertake a pasture improvement program that will insure a
good stand of legumes and grasses.
To a,ccomplish this, it is important,
first of all, to build up the soil's productivity by the use of fertilizer containing plenty of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. It is essential, too,
that farmers planning such a program place their orders early to o~

Sunlight influences the amount or
vitamin C in tomatoes, an important
source of this vitamin, research
workers have discovered. Several
years ago the scientists set out to
discover the causes of the variations
in vitamin C content of tomatoes.
They soon found that different varieties of tomatoes had different
amounts of vitamin C, but variations occurred that could not be accounted for in this way. Differences
in soil were next suspected of being responsible, but attempts to
show that certain soils produced
tomatoes with more vitamin C than
others failed.
In a repetition of one experiment
it was noted that the locations
where fruits high in vitamin C were
produced the first time were not invariably those which gave high
values the second time. The problem was then taken to the laboratory, and tests were made in which
all factors that might influence
vitamin C content, such as temperature, illumination, moisture supply
and mineral nutrients supply, were
ruled out except illumination; the
vitamin C content varied with the
amount of light.
Back in the field, it was foundby measuring the amount of illumination at each location where tomatoes were grown - that the vitamin
C value of the fruit closely parallels
the amount of light received by
the plant for abOut two weeks before the harvest. Thus, sunlight
was shown to be the determining
factor in vitamin C content of tomatoes.

Egyptian Pyramids
The pyramids were supposed to
have been constructed between the
fifth and twelfth d}'nasties in Middle
Egypt, and not to have been used
for tombs. They are built upon a
square base, with sides facing the
points ~f the compass, anrt the earlier pyramids wen• constructed of
horizontal layers of rough blocks
fastened together with mortar. In
the center of the pyramid, ncar
the base, was built a chamber
reached by a po.ssage from the north
side. It is said that r.ome of them
contain emblems or symbols, which
are now used m m0sonry. Whether
or not thPre were mnsons at the

through operation of mileage reduction programs in comparison with
official state mileage figures for
1941, the last prewar year.
Translated into equipment, the
430,254 ,000 untraveled miles repre·
sent a saving of 28,683,000 gallons
of gasoline, 78,228 tires, 7,171 new
passenger vehicles - all needed by
the armed forces.
And at a basic cost of 5 cents a
mile, the untraveled miles represent
a money saving of $21,512,742 of
state money, the council of state
governments reports on the basis of
information from the office of price
administration.
A mileage total of 813,661,000 was
reported by 46 states for 1944,
which is a reduction of 34.6 per cent
from the 1,243,916,000 miles reported
for 1941. Complete figures for 1944
should add another 12,000,000 miles
to the total saving, achieved through
car pooling, central di~atching and
share-a-ride practices.
Vitamins for Canning
Tablets of vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) may be used to hold color and
flavor in home-canned peaches,
pears and plums, according to scientists of the Massachusetts Experiment station. They explain
that this substance acts against oxygen, so prevents the unpleasant
darkening and change of flavor in
fruit at the top of the jar where it
comes in contact ·with air. Use of
the tablets is simple. They are put
into the jar before it is filled with
fruit. The cost is less than two cents
per pint jar at present prices of tab.
lets in local drug stores. In commercial canning much of this oxids·
tion trouble is prevented by vac:uum
packing and de&amp;erating fruit. In
home canning it is impossible to put
up fruit without air in the jar, so
an antioxidant is needed. For this
purpose the Massachusetts scientists found three related acids - ascorbic acid (vitamin C), isoascorbic
acid and glucoascorbic acid - all
entirely successful in preventing
surface darkening and off-flavors in
canned peaches, pears and plums,
and helpful in canned apple sauce.
At present only ascorbic acid is on
the market in convenient tablet
form, but after the war the others,
which are less expensive, may be
available.
Wireless Telegraphy
The exact date&gt; of the rliscovery
or invention of wireless telegraph~
is not accurately known. Many sc1
entists discovered it theoretically be
fore Marconi made it practical
Some scientific authorities claim
that it was originated by Professor
Dolbear of Massachusetts. Wireless
telegraphy has been so perfected that
it is now one of the ordinary means
of communication throughout the
world.
Unscientifically speaking,
wireless telegraphy consists of dis·
charging powerful electrical cur·
rents into the atmosphere, their vi·
brations being taken up by the natural electricity in the air, and re·
ceived by wires placed at an elevation.
Practically all sea-going
steamers are equipped with wireless
telegraphy.
Versatile Rayons
Rayons which are either soluble
or insoluble in water are being man·
ufactured from alginic acid extracted from seaweed, according to a
British publication. It is reported
that unusual effects may be obtained

and other yarns of very low twist can
be made by using a holding thread
of alginate rayon, which can later
be dissolved away. Woven and lace

remains after the alginate rayon
ttu"eads have been dissolved away.

Utilize Peanut Waste
Progress toward fully utilizing the
peanut has been announced by the
USDA. The new by-product is a variety of feed yeast that has proved
of value in livestock and poultry
feeding. The process also lessens a
sewage disposal problem. When oil
is extracted from peanuts, the high
J)rotein meal remaining is valuable as a livestock feed, but research has shown th;it it may be
even more valuable for industrial
uses in which the purified protein is
used for tacky and remoistening adhesives, and for coatings, sizings
and fibers . Alter the protein is separated from the meal, a waste
liquor remains which may contain
1 per cent of sugars. Such a liquor
ferments and is likely to be a nuisance in streams, causing odors,
and killing fish by exhausting oxygen in the water. But by controlling
this fermentation in a tank - sterilizing the liquor, and then inoculating it with a food yeast - disposal
is simplified and the sugars are
converted into a protein feed product valuable for its vitamin content.
This yeast has also been used successfully in fermenting similar
liquors from sweet potato starch
mills.
Oil Burners
Oil burners are of vaporizing or
atomizing types, depending on how
oil is broken up into tiny particles
for combustion. Vaporizing burners
pre-mix the a ir and oil by means of
blower and control valves. Atomizing burners are divided into gun and
rotary types; the former shooting
the atomized oil vapor into the firebox, usually from the outside, while
the latter is customarily installed beside the boiler base and employs a
revolving d isc for atomizing. One
of the postwar trends in oil burners
will be in the direction of smaller
burners for the more efficient heat:
ing of the smallest types of houses.
Possibly the trend toward utilization
of the heavier oils which began before the war will be accelerated. A
closer co-ordination between the oil
burner and the boiler is also being
developed now.
Refrigeration Important
One authority estimates at least
77 per cent of the food eaten by the
average American family involves
the use of refrigeration or air conditioning or both for processing,
;:&gt;reserving or distribution. The average diet on which the computation
was based includes dairy products,
cereals, meats, poultry, fats and
oils, fresh and canned fruits and
fresh and canned vegetables. Refrigeration is vital in the production
of new dehydrated and frozen
foods, is used in upward of 6,000
locker plants throughout the country, and in countless other ways, including farm freezers and home
storage cabinets~

The Aviation Committee
When it comes to consideration of
the establishment of an airpark or
other aviation landing facility, each
community finds itself faced with its
individual needs and problems. A
landing facility for each of two communities only a few miles apart may
have to meet quite different requirements.
Before construction can start,
even before a bond issue can be
listed, pertinent information should
be tabulated and plans made accordingly. Such matters as location
of the airpark, size, prospective use,
cost, potential income, related business enterprise and many other sub-

had an intimate connect10n with any
phase of aviation, such as havmg a
part in the Civil Air Patrol program,
or experience as commercial air operators, they would by all means be
urged to participate.
In addition to representativPs of
the community's officialdom, there
should be a cross section of local
business and social enterprise. The
components of this will differ according to the area, but generally
speaking, may include merchants,
professional men, labor leaders,
farmers and school principals and
teachers.
This is recognized as a logical procedure since the airpark must be a
community affair and if it is to

Leaders in community affairs compose the board of directors and officers of the Webster City, Iowa (population 7 ,000) chapter of the National
Aeronautic Association. Left to right: Willis Scott, airport manager

I

jects must be studied, at least in a
prdiminary way, if the venture is to
be a success.
An airpark is usually considered
a public utility, much the same as
streets, highwayl and parks. The
chief difference is that an airpark
,may ultimately provide self-support·
ing revenue if correctly planned,
wher~as other community utilities
gener;ally do not.
Based upon experience, aviation
authorities advise that the first step
taken by a community should be the
organization of an air landing facility committee. All members preferably should be local people who
l;now the community's history, its
relation to other communities and·
to the state, and. its plans for the
future.
It is suggested that committee
members might include representatives of the city or town council,
chamber of commerce, civic clubs,
and newspapers. If there are any
persons in the community who have

succeed must cater to all local interests. It will probably surprise
many people to discover how many
varied activities in even a small
community will be influenced in one
way or another by the coming era
of flight.
The appointed committee, after
obtaining and classifying the neces·
sary local data, will then be in a
position to take up its preliminary
plans with aviation authorities and
profit by their experienced advice
and criticism. Forty-four states now
have aviation boards or commissions
ready to help anc! \I.'Gnhington authorities such as thE. Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Department of Commerce the Personal

·------------------------Many tears of RadnesR as well
as gladness wa11 shared last Tues.
day when the long awaited news
was told that the "world would
be at peace again."
Crete
participated in this joyous event.
• Special church services befitting
the oc.!asion were held on Wed·

Many thoughts were turned to
the families of Crete who had
lost their loved ones during our
bitter battle of fi~hting, so that
the world again could have
everlasting peace.
Several of our service men
were at home with their fam·
ilies, and others had just re·
turned to their camps for re·
assi2nment, when the great
news was heralded.
Many months will pass before
the world will be back to normal
again, but with gas rationing
lifted; points off of canned
goods, and SIJCh, the people as a
whole. will give many prayers of

Russia's Declaration of War
And Atomic Bomb Combine
To Stagger Collapsing Japs
Coming on top of the American introduction of the ea~th-sh~k­
ing atomic-bomb, Russia's declaration of war on Japan ra1sed h1gh
hopes for an early finish to the Pacific conflict, raging in bloody
island-to-island fighting since recovery of U. S. strength following Pearl Harbor.
Having previously disclosed
the dropping of the mighty new
explosive on Japan, President
Harry S. Truman also was the
first to reveal Russia's entrance
into the Pacific war to the U. S.,
putting him in the position of
having made two historic announcements within a few days.
In declaring war on Japan, Russi&lt;. n Foreign Commissar Molotov
stated that the Reds had decided on
hostilities as a means for restoring
peace quickly in the Far East after
the Nipponese had turned down the
U. S., British and Chinese demand
for unconditional surrender at Potsdam, thus ending Moscow's role as
an intermediary in the conflict.
With the Russians possessing large
forces along the Siberian border,
and excellent locations for air bases
for short-range bombardment of the
Japanese homeland, th~ Reds decision to cross swords with the Nipponese was expected to prove of invaluable assistance in shortening the
war. Of the 4,000,000 men constituting the Japanese army, 1,250,000
have been reported massed in Manchuria opposite Russian territory,
with
another 900,000 stationed
throughout China.
Having first come to grips over 40
years ago in the Orient, Far Eastern
relations between the two powers
have always remained touchy, with
border clashes between Russian and
Japanese troops in 1939 threatening
to explode in major conflict. At that
time. Marshal Gregory Zhukov, who
was later to lead the Russian smash
into Berlin, commanded Red soldiers in Siberia.
All through the German-Russian
war, a Japanese attack on Russia's
rear in Siberia was feared, with the
Nipponese reportedly prepared to
take the jump in 1942 before the
Nazi setback at Stalingrad inspired
caution. On the face, Japanese-Russian relations were guided by the
neutrality pact of 1941 which the
Reds signed with the Germans
threatening their European front;
but with the Nazis licked, Moscow

then found itself free to take a stiffer stand in the Far East.
With Russia's entrance into the
war, the Allied world speculated on
the price Premier Stalin would exact for Red participation in the drive
to overthrow the Nipponese and end
the conflict quickly. A shrewd bargainer, interested in material advantages rather than idealistic attainments, the mustached chieftain
of the Kremlin reportedly had an eye
not only on Inner Mongolia, but on
Manchuria and Korea as well.
Historians were quick to point out
that Russia has always had a rough
and rugged time in the affairs of
the Far East. There are some old
scores which she had to settle with
Japan.
Pushed out of her once-important
place in Asia after the Russo-Japanese conflict of 1904-05 because of the
loss of the Manchurian railway empire-and the southern half of the
island of Sakhalin with its rich timber and oil resources, Russia has
been smarting ever since.
Even the Russian revolution which
saw the end of the czars did not
change this leeling. In fact, under
the Soviet, Russia's interest in the
Far East suffered even more. Chinese pressure forced her to lose control of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The Japs pressed for additional concessions in oriental waters.
They got them. Valuable fishing
privileges were granted to them by
Russia. Tokyo enjoyed these for
years.
Meanwhile, by 1931, Japan was
spreading its power with full
strength. and reached out to grab
Manchuria. Russian strength in that
area was reduced still more.
Japan continued to rule Ma nchuria
and parts of China with ever-increasing violence until t he outbreak
of the war with Chtna. Grabs of power ani"! land finally led to war with
Britam and the Uni~ed States, the
gre.;~t powers of the west.

ATOMIC BOMB:
Earth Shaking
Best kept secret of the war, the
sensational atomic bomb electrified
the Allied world with its possibilities for bringing the Japanese soon
to their knees and revolutionizing
postwar life, while staggering the
enemy with its terrible destructive
potentialities.
Armed with the new weapon,
which promises to outmode all existing forms of armaments on land and
sea and air, the U. S. was in a position to deliver another unconditional
surrender ultimatum to the Japanese, this time threatening to wreak
even greater ruin than that being
wrought by the swarms of Flying
Forts now bombarding the empire.
In a war already noted for the
remotely-controlled buzz bomb and
rocket developed by the Germans,
the atomic bomb remains the outstanding scientific product, embodying, as it does, the magic substance,

.. In overall charge of atomic bomb

uranium, known as U-235-the 235
representing its weight in atoms,
the smallest particles · of matter.
First isolated in 1789, uranium is a
metallic element found along with
radium in pitchblende and carnotite
ore, and possessing great powers of
energy through its explosive atomic
contents.
With Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves
in overall charge of production of
the atomic bomb, and with Dr. J. R.
Oppenheimer of the University of
California responsible for the technical development of it, special
pains were taken to preserve the
secrecy of the explosive, packing a
force greater than 20,000 tons of
TNT.
At Richland, Wash. , the hug!!
plant, sprawling over 400,000 acres,
was divided into three parts, one for
the production of the material; another for its refinement, and the
third for storing raw materials.
Some idea of the terrific explosive
effect of the new atomic bomb on
the harassed Japanese cities can be
gleaned from the results of the· test
of the charge in the desert lands of
New Mexico.
With U-235 giving off heat, light
and power, the explosion lit the
countryside for miles around with a
brightness even greater than day,
with the flash seen 520 miles away
at Needles, Calif., and a blind girl
near Albuquerque, N. M., noting the
presence of a flash shortly before
the detonation.
The explosion itself set off a heavy
pressure wave, which knocked
down two men at a control center
10,000 yards away, and completely
vaporized the steel tower upon which
the atomic bomb rested. A huge
multi-colored cloud surged upward
to over 40,000 feet, commanding the
sky.
In dropping a single 400-pound
charge on the rail and industrial
center of Hiroshima, one B-29
wiped out 60 per cent of the once
thriving
Honshu
municipality,
army air force reconnaissance reported. Fires swept extensively over
the stricken area and only a few concrete structures remained standing
in the heart of the city, with the
interior of these even scorched.
In the welter of excitement over
the atomic bomb, the tremendous
possibilities of harnessing U-235 to
peacetime uses commanded popular
attention. Any hopes that the material might be immediately available, however, were spiked by war
department reports that much additional research was needed for designing machinery for producing
peacetime energy.
Realization of the terrific destructive potentialities of the atomic
bomb sobered jubilation over President Truman's announcement of its
usage to bring the enemy to his
knees.
Comment ranged from the
statement of Senator Capper (Rep.,
Kans.) that "I hope we can control
it" to the declaration of Representative Lea (Dem., Calif.) "This emphasizes the necessity of the nations
providing some method of settling
disputes without recourse to war.
Otherwise, it might mean the end of
civilization."

In the face of severe congressional
criticism over maintenance of
7,000,000 men in uniform for a onefront war following Germany's defeat, the army revealed that it would
not revise its point system for discharge as previously planned for
July.

THE STORY THUS FAR: The Amerl·
can troops arrived 1o Adano, witb Major
Joppolo, the Aro,ot officer In charge.
Ser,eaot Borth was In charge of securl·
ty. The Major was determined t.o bold
the confidence of the people and t.o re·
place their beU 1lolen by the Nuls. De·
spite orders Issued by General Marvin,
barring carts from the city, Joppolo re·
c:aUed the order, to permit food and wa·
ter t.o enter the cUy. Lord Runcln, hiJ:h
British official on tbe Amgot, approved
of Joppolo's plans. Tbe l'tlajor round out
that the American ~:enero lty was re·
pon•lble lor a troublesome black mar·
ket. To stop this condition be placed a
ceiling on aU prices. He also barred
troops from the city.

CHAPTER XVII

•

The Lieutenant said: "Sure he was.
lt's easy to see he was. And if
General Marvin ever lays eyes on
this Information copy, it'll be just
too bad for the Major."
"Yes, sir," said the Technical
Sergeant, to be on the safe side.
Lieutenant Butters said: "Here,
you file these, I'll take care of the
Information copy."
"Yes, sir," the Technical Sergeant said, taking the copies.
The Lieutenant said: "That Marvin trimmed me down once for
something I didn't do. I never have
liked him. I don't know this Major,
but I think it would be a shame if
he caught a trimming just for this."
"Yes, sir," the Technical Sergeant
said. Then he frowned and added:
"You aren't going to get me in
trouble, are you, sir, like when that
letter to Colonel Norris from the
P.R.O. got 'lost'?"
"No, don't worry," the Lieutenant said.
But the Technical Sergeant did
worry for several days, until he got
up the courage to ask the Lieutenant: "Sir, what did you ever do
about that Information copy I made
for General Marvin? You didn't
throw it away, did you? Colonel
Norris is liable to ask me about it."
"I wish I had thrown it away,"
Lieutenant Butters said. "I didn't
have the guts. I put it in the courier pouch for Algiers. You know
how much stuff we've been losing on
~hat run.
I thought maybe-"
The Technical Sergeant, relieved
of his worry, smiled and said: "It
might get lost accidentally on purpose?"
Mayor Nasta had just come out
from his daily repentance before
Sergeant Borth. He walked across
the way to the broad sidewalk in
front of the Palazzo. Every day
knots of people gathered on that
side walk, some just to pass the time
of day, some to air their perennial
complaints, some to get in touch
with the town's mean little lawyers,
whose office was that sidewalk,
Mayor Nasta walked up to one
such knot. There were about ten
people, and he found that they were
&lt;liro;cussing the war.
He waited for his chance, and
said : "I got some news from the interior yesterday afternoon."
Mercurio Salvatore the crier was
so far gone in boldness that he said:
' 'We have no desire for news from
the one who is no longer Mayor."
Mayor Nasta remembered the
time when he would have put the
&lt;::rier in jail for a whole year for
saying something like that, but now
ne said: "This news came from the
son of your friend Afronti, the noisy
cartman. The boy deserted on the
first day of the invasion and he is
now here. Perhaps you know him.
He is an honest boy."
The Mayor's poison was beginning to take hold. "If that is the
case." said the lazy Fatta, who
was to be found on this stretch of
sidewalk every morning, "if that is
the case, what did he say that was
so interesting?"
"He said that our friends the Germans are mounting a counterattack."
"There is nothing new in that,"
said Father Pensovecchio. "They
have counterattacked before. They
counterattacked near Vicinamare
and it did them no good. They
were thrown back. They will be
thrown back again."
"Not this time," said Mayor Nasta. "This time they will employ
five fresh divisions. They have the
crack 29th Panzers and the Pilsener
Division. These are good troops.
This time they will not be thrown
back. They intend to push the Americans into the sea."
The lazy Fatta, who had no sense
about the news, said: "When will
this 1 attack come? I think I will go
to the hills."
Mayor Nasta looked very important, as he used to in the old days.
"I should not tell you this," he said,
"but the attack will begin on the
morning of the twenty-third, at four
o'clock in the morning. You can
expect the Americans to be pushed
into the sea between the twenty!ifth and the twenty-eighth."
The impressionable ones were beginning to believe him. Laura Sqfia, the unmarried one, who stood
about on this sidewalk in the belief
that she might catch a husband that
way, said: "The twenty-third, that is
next Wednesday."
But Mercuno Salvatore, who had
been treated well by the Americans,
refused to believe that they were
leaving. "I do not believe it," he
said. "The Americans will stop the
attack ." Even the crier was now
willine tn believe that there was

going to be an attack. All he would
not beUeve was that the Germans
would succeed.
Mayor Nasta said : "The Americans will not stop it. The Americans may be friendly, but they are
not good fighters."
Margherita, the formidable wife
of Craxi, said with a threatening
look: "Liar!"
But Mayor Nasta said: "This is
not my opinion. This is the opinion
of the son of Afronti, the noisy cartman. You know the boy. You know
that he is honest. He says that the
Americans are timid in battle. He
says that our own troops could even
beat the Americans."
Mercurio Salvatore, the crier, was
reduced to saying: "I do not believe it."
Mayor Nasta said: "It is true.
This boy fought in Tunisia. He says
that at the place called El Guettar
the Americans did not press their
attack, he says that they behaved
like frightened men and were defeated. The British can fight, per·
haps, but not the Americans."
The formidable Margherita said:
"It is a dirty lie," but there was
no anger in her voice, 1t was nearly
drained o~ conviction.
This man Nasta was a very persuasive man. He had persuaded
himself into office, and he had persuaded the people into fear of him,
and now it was easy for him to persuade them to mistrust the Americans.
Mayor Nasta said: "The son of
Afronti told me that in the interior

This man Nasta was a very persuasive man.
the Americans behaved themselves
very badly. They were generous to
us along the coast because they had
to have a beachhead, but in the interior they have been different. Negro troops have raped seven Italian
girls. There has been much looting."
The lazy Fatta said: "I hear that
the Americans looted the beautiful
house of Quattrocchi right here in
Adana. They did much damage."
Mayor Nasta said: "Yes, that is
true, I talked with Quattrocchi yesterday."
The formidable Margherita said:
"What happened?" This was something close to home, and she considered anything that happened in
Adano more or less her personal
property, to use as gossip.
Mayor Nasta said: "The American vandals destroyed four hundred
and seventy thousand lira worth of
stuff in Quatrocchi's house. Heirlooms, paintings, sculpture, glassware. They said that Italian art is
degenerate; they did all this because they wish to impose American
ideas of art on Italy. That is what
Quattrocchi told me the American
Major had told him ."
Mercurio Salvatore, the crier,
said: "That I will not believe. The
Mister Major is our friend." The
crier was annoyed enough to say
this in very nearly his crying voice.
He spoke loudly enough to be heard
inside the Palazzo.
"Quiet," Mayor Nasta said. "He
will hear you and punish you."
"Why should he punish me?"
Mercurio cried. "I am defending
him."
"He is unpredictable," Mayor
Nasta whispered. "You will see. I
must be going now," he said, bowing to the circle, as if the fact that
it was beginning to grow embarrassed him. "Good day," he said,
"do not forget the twenty-third."
Each day when he came out from
his repentance before Sergeant
Borth, Mayor Nasta would go across
to the sidewalk in front of the Palazzo, and he would approach a different group, and he would tell them
pretty much the same thing.
Sergeant Borth allowed this to go
on for several days, because Sergeant Borth was a careful worker.
He waited until he was sure of all
his facts. He had his informers trap
Mayor Nasta into new exaggera-

tions and accusations. He made sure
that the son of Afronti the noisy
cartman had not deserted. He
checked with Intelligence at IX
Corps to make sure that the Germans were not expected to counterattack on the twenty-third. He even
went so far as to check with Captain Purvis.
When he was ready, Sergeant
Borth went to Major Joppolo. "Major," he said, "we've got to put
Nasta away."
The Major said: "What's he
done?"
"He's been plan ting rumors
against us. I hate to admit it, but
he's done it very systematically and
very skillfully."
"What kinds of rumors?"
"Oh, all kinds. He has quite a
few people thinking that the Ger.
mans are going to put on a major
counterattack next week. He e ven
has some of them believing that you
haven't been doing right by certain
young ladies in this town."
Major Joppolo blushed. "That
isn't true," he said.
" I know," Borth said. "I checked
into it. But they tell me the Mister
Major could make time if he wanted to."
"Cut it out," the Major said.
"That's what they tell me," Borth
said. "They say these particular
girls don't smell of fish, but their
old man knows a good fish when he
sees it."
"Cut the kidding," the Major said,
and that echo was in his voice. He
changed the subject qUiddy. "When
are you going to arrest Nasta?"
"In the morning, when he comes
in for his daily worship."
"Okay," the Major said. "Let's
keep him in the prisoners of war
cage for a few days, and not send
him to Africa till we've questioned
him a bit. I'm sort of glad to ha ve
him put away."
The next morning Mayor Nasta
was somewhat surprised to see, besides Sergeant Borth in his office,
two other men wearing brassards
marked M.P. He said, as suavely
as ever: "Good morning, Mister
Sergeant."
"And what crime would Mayor
Nasta like to repent this morning?"
Borth asked.
"Is it not the Mister Sergeant's
turn to pick a crime?" the Mayor
asked.
"Perhaps it is, perhaps it is. Well,
let's see. This morning I think Mayor Nasta will repent the crime of
not havin~ made good use of his
freedom. He will repent the crime
of having talked against the Americans.''
Mayor Nasta turned pale. Borth
stood up.
"He will repent the crime of having invented false rumors, of having told the gullible people here in
Adano that the Germans were planning a counterattack for next
week."
Mayor Nasta turned his head and
looked at the door. Borth motioned
to the M.P.'s to step into it, and
they did.
"He will also repent having said
slanderous and false things about
Major Joppolo. Also he will be
very sorry that he lied about the son
of the cartman Afronti."
Mayor Nasta W;lS white as a
sheet. "Lies! They are lies!" he
said.
Borth said: "Mayor Nasta is excitable this morning. And he had
grown so calm about hie repentances. Why is he excitable this
morning?"
Mayor Nasta was excitable because he knew he was caught.
"Lies," he., shouted. "My enemies
have been lying against me."
Borth said: "Is this a lie? Is it a
lie that you s aid yesterday m orning,
before fifteen people on the sidewalk in front of the Palazzo: 'The
Americans are such cowards that
they had to be pushed from their
transports into landing barges when
they came here'\' Is it a lie that you
said .
. " And Sergeant Borth
repeated word for word ten sentences that Nasta had said, as informers reported them. Sergeant
Borth had a very good memory, and
. he enjoyed deflating this man, and
he made a very terrifying show of it
for Mayor Nasta.
Then Borth said to the two M.P.'s
in English: "Take him away, boys.
He's getting noisy."
The M.P.'s took Nasta by both
arms. Borth said: "I'm going to
miss your daily visits, Mayor Nasta. I hope you will come to see
me when you get out, I mean if
you get out."
Mayor Nas~ said stubbornly:
"You will be sorry."
The M.P.'s took Nasta away to
the prisoner of war cage.
Mayor Nasta did not make a very
good start in the cage. The Americans had a forty-year-old, Italianspeaking Top Sergeant in charge of
the guard. The first time Mayor
Nasta saw •.he Top Sergeant walking in the enclosure, he rushed up
to him and said: "This is a mistake. I should not have been imprisoned. It was all a mistake."
"Is that so?" the Top Sergeant
said in a slow, Brooklynese Italian.
"You are another mistake? We have
several mistakes here. All mistakes
here must clean the latrine. You
are our newest mistake, so you wilJ
I have the privilege of cleaning the
latrine this week."

Wood Tar
The possibility of using wood tar
obtained from Douglas fir sawmill
waste in the production of high
grade antiknock motor fuel is
pointed out by three stafl' members
10f the Oregon forest products
laboratory at Oregun state college.
One of the most promising methods
of utilizing sawmill waste is in making charcoal, a by-product of which
is wood tar, which, though somewhat similar to coal tar, has been
studied but little. English chemists
found that cracking Douglas fir tar
produced a high grade antiknock
motor fuel. The yield reported by
these chemists, if applied to the
wast&lt;! from the annual cut of Doug!as fir in the northwest, would produce 25,000,000 gallons of motor fuel
with antiknock qualities equal to
il'l.ose of benzene.
Surface Cracks
No filling i~ ncedcrl for hairline
cracks if you are using a good oil
paint over a pigmented wall-primer
first coat. On other cracks, thumb
the open spots full of fine patching
plaster, floor crack filler or putty.
Force the filler right into the crack,
and scrap off the excess with a putty
knife. Sandpaper and cover with a
filler before painting. When yoo
are ready to paint, don't join the
majority of amateur painters and
use a brush that is too small for
the job, overloading it with paint.
It will drip and won't cover the
surface as well as a good fourineher. And be sure the paint is
really well mixed before you start,
and stir it frequently whil€ the
job is under way That sounds elementary, but it's lack of attention to just such obvious things that
~oils most paint jobs.

Good Diets May Affect
Nations' Fighting Prowess
Fighting accomplishments of armieP in World War II may be depencltnt on adequacy of national
diets, according to Dr. Agnes Fay
Morgan of the University of California. She points out that the protective foods in national prewar
diets of Germany and France fall
into the same order as the mortality statistics; the death rates
were llO per 10,000 population for
Germany, and 184 for France.
The better German record, in
health as in war, may originate in
the higher milk, fruit, and vegetable
portion, or the lower amount of '
cereal and sugar In the national diet,
she believes. Likewise, she indicates
that the B vitamin content of the
French bread is low and that of the
German bread high, since the
French eat white bread made with
little or no yeast, while German
bread is whole-grain, largely rye,
and made with yeast. She says that
German beer is a fair source of B
vitamins, but French wine is poor.
The food of the Russians is similar in vitamin content to that of the
Germans, Dr. Morgan explains. The
whole-grain yeast bread, vegetables,
milk and meat which they eat may
account for their physical and psychological stamina, usually characteristic of the well-nourished.

Soaking Speeds Up
Task of Dishwashing
Soaking saves time. in dish washing. Many dishes and pans used in
getting meals will wash more quickly and easily it they are filled with
water immediately after using and
a~lowed to soaJttuntil washed . The
exception is any iron utensil which
may rust it left soaking long.
A cold-water soak is recommended for loosening starchy foods, like
dough or cereal, and also for eggs
and milk. Avoid hot water because
it makes such foods "cook on" and
become more difficult to remove. On
the other hand, a hot-water soak is
best for utensils. which have held
sugary foods like syrup or icing because sugar dissolves faster in hot
than in cold water.
Greasy utensils should have all
possible grease removed-to save
for cooking use later or salvage-and
then should be wiped out with paper
and allowed to soak in hot water
containing a little baking soda. A
time-saving way to keep "everyday" silverware bright is to have a
little aluminum pan filled with hot
soda water near the dishpan and put
into it any silver, t arnished with
egg or other food or r ub silverware
with jeweler$ rougt,

As W holesome Food
Currots ofl'er much in uppetizing
color, fine flavor and nutritive value.
To make the most of vitumins,
minNals and fiuvor, home economists otTer the following cooking
suggestions.
If carrots are peeled, peel thin, or
scrupe no more tbo.n skin deep.
Young tender carrots may not need
to be peeled. Just enough water to
prevent sticking to the pun is all
that young tender carrots need. Oldor ones need enough water to cover.
Have the water boiling before putting in the carrots. Cuver the kettle to speed the cooking, save fuel,
and conserve vitnmins.
Cook only until tender. Young carrots cook in 15 to 20 minutes, older
ones in 20 to 25 minutes. Slicing or
dicing shortens the cooking but may
mean greuter loss of vitamin C.
Variety in seasoning helps prevent
monotony, if carrots are served frequently. A little lemon juice over the
top, chopped parsley, or tender
onion sprouts, or chopped onion
heated in a little fat, are favorite
·casonings for this vegetable. LeftovC'r drippings from cooking meat
rH· good for pouring over carrots.
Waste Fuel
The great bulk of the tonnltt;'e
of Pres-to-logs (compressed wood
wr.ste) being made and sold is used
for .louse heating and for cooking.
They will perform satisfaotorily for
heating in most furnaces or heaters
built for use with solid fuels, al·
though to get the best efficiency
the volume of air must be considerably less than that needed for burning coal. For cooking, Pres-to-logs
are without a doubt a highly efficient solid fuel. Many restaurants
would not consider using anything
else. Several of the railroads use
them extensively tor dining-car
range fuel, including the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Milwau- f
kee, Northern Pacific, Rock Island
and Chicago and North Western. ·
The last two pay a considerable
sum in freight charges to connectjog lines in order to use this material, as there are no plants opera•
ating anywhere near their rails.

llookworm Saps Strength

While much progress has been
mane against hookworm in rural
ar..•us, it still continues to be a serious menace to the healtb of peopl&lt;" whose homes are not equipped
with sanitary sewage disposal facilit,t:'s. For many years, it has been
lmown that a person suffering from
hookworm does not have the energy,
strength, or general ability that
would be his if he were well. At
any time, it robs one of vigor and
strength and makes one more susceptible ,tp other diseases. It is a
serious economic factor, for a person who is suffering from it i~&gt;
not as able to make a livelihood qr

Good mechanics are economists.
Whether a worlcrnan is a competent millwright or a graduate mechanical engineer, he is an enemy
of lost motion. And lost motion is a
menace to prosperity, serious as
fire. When an engine is running idle
it is only wearing out. When a machine is driven with its brakes on,
the waste is even more damaging;
property is injured and energy
thrown away.
What is true of a mechanical assembly is true of a human organization in this respect. The owners of
a farm or the stockholders of a corporation are no penny richer for
having a crew that works hard all
day doing nothing. Work is necessary on a farm; sweat and calluses
are only incidental; it's the· crop
that brings in the money and pays
the men who till the land.
Production Pays
Prosperity results from work but
not from all work. Prosperity
results from productive work. People who keep busy but do not increase the yield might as well be
resting. The man who figures out a
way to increase yield without extra
labor is the best man on the job.
He works with his brain; knows
enough to stop lost motion, to take
precautions against fire and the
like.
In England there is a magazine
called The Economist. It is Britain's
' leading financial publication. It is
read and respected by business men
1
and financiers generally. Just recently it has been running a series
of articles entitled "A Policy for
Wealth." The articles have shown
why En~lerld is poor; that is, why
the Engl»k people must put up with
Ilow living 1tandards.
Deserve the Best
A large and respected group of
Americans often say "Mother England." The British are a proud and
industrious people and the Americans respect them. The British well
understand how to enjoy and appreciate life's good things. They deserve to live as well as anybody but
they don't. What's the reason? Well,
here's what one writer for The
Economist, looking back at 1943, has
to say:
"Industrial efficiency, as measured by production per head, was
roughly similar in Great Britain
and Germany while in the United
States it was more than twice as
great as in the other two countries."
The statement is that of Dr. Leon
Rostas, based on serious study of
authentic records. Now there is a
movement on foot in England to
double her productive output per
man by 1972.
Lest We Forget
No longer ago than 1943, when
America and England both had full
employment, our American workers were twice as well off. They
were producing enough to live twice
as well as the British. About that
time Britain was investing only 3%
of her income in equipment for additional production. It was like a
woodman saying, "Why buy a file?
A dull saw pulls easier."
The British point to Americans
and say, "Look! They work less,
rn more and live better than we,
an because they encourage more
it.avestment in tools to produce more
teods per man." Now England wise1
ly plans to encourage larger investments to obtain greater production
per man-hour, higher wages and
higher living standards. Unless we
adjust today's tax laws, we will be
poor, watching the British produce
and prosper in 1972.

Example of Forestry ;
t

..

Some of the best examples of forest management in this country are
to be found on areas under the control of the water boards. The public
is willing to spend money freely for
the protection of its drinking water
and more and more water boards
are employing foresters as regular
members of their staff.
All of the arguments for forests
in relation to water apply to these
areas. These water commissioners
have the best opportunity of all of
our public agencies to really show
what can be done through forest
management. They are not hampered by lack of funds and they can
carry out experiments that would be
difficult on other publicly owned forests. Some of our water boards in
New England have had forest work-'
ing plans for more than a quarter of
a century and in a few places they
are now cutting sawlogs from the
plantations made when the lands
.were first acquired.
It is common practice for the water board to supply the Welfare department with fuelwood each year
through
improvement
cuttings.
The needs of the city for lumber
and fence posts and other products
are also Qeing met. Thus profits from
the forest products reduce the cost
of water to the citizens and lower
the tax bill. There are certain cities,
such as Seattle, Wash., and Spring-

Ten Per Cent of Army Veterans Want to Be Farmers;
Seven Per Cent Hope to Start Small Businesses
1\fore Than Half Will
Work for Wages Again;
8% Going to School
By WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU Washington Correspondent
Seventy-five per cent of the ?fficers and enlisted men in the Umted States army have definite ideas
about what they intend to do "when
they get back home." Another 20
per cent have made tentative plans
for their postwar work. A survey
by the research branch o.t .t~e information and education d1v1s1on of
the army shows that:
Fiity-two per cent, roughly
4,000,000 men, plan to work for
salary and wages;
Seven per cent, or about a ~alf
million men, intend to go mto
small businesses, retail and
service trades mostly, for themselves;
Ten per cent, or more than
750,000 men, plan to operate
farms;
Eight per cent, or about 600,000, plan to go to school. The
remainder have made only tentative decisions or are undecided.
The army, however, points out
that at least three factors must be
tul~en into consideration in interpreting the results of the survey: (~)
the length of the war; (2) economic
opportunity after demobilization;
(3) an increasing percentage may
~oeriously consider attending fulllime school, opening a business or
buying a farm under G.I. Bill of
Rights prqvisions.
One interesting feature of this survey reveals that 80 per cent of the
white enlisted men plan to return to
the states in which they lived before entering the service.
This
leaves 20 per cent who may migrate
to another section of the country.
As a matter of fact, 10 per cei)t, or
about 750,000 men, definitely anticipate moving to another state, the
other 10 per cent being still undecided. ·This ratio is heavier in the
Negro enlisted personnel where only
about two-thirds expect to go back
to the same state in which they reSided in civilian life.
Young 1\Ien Going West.
The great majority plan to migrate to the Far West. Among the
Negroes, the greater shift is from
the South to the northeastern states.
If the indicated shifts materialize
among these returning servicemen
they may happen as follows:
1.-A rapid expansion to the Paeific coast states.
2.-In-migration, but on a much
15maller scale into the industrialized
east north central states.
3.-No net movement, in-go balancing out-go • in the New England, middle Atlantic and mountain
states, and,
4.-A heavy out-migration from
the highly agricultural areas running from the west north central
states through the entire tier of
southern states.
If the plans for 7 per cent of our
soldiers to enter business foe themselves materialize, it means creation of a little more than a half million new firms in the small business field, or just about the number
which went out of business in the
two-year period following Pearl
Harbor. A great majority of these,
about 52 per cent, will enter the
retail trade . . . radio stores, filling
stations, shoes, hardware and general merchandise outlets. About 16
per cent plan to go into the service
fields, 9 per cent into wholesale
and small manufacturing, 8 per cent
Into transportation and public utilities, 6 per cent into construction,
the other 9 per cent being spread
over all other industries.
Of the three-quarters of a million
men who plan to take up farming
either as owners or farm workers ,
the survey shows that 9 out of 10
have had at leas t a year or more of
full-time farming behind them. Only
about 2 per cent have had no farming experience at all. Even the men
with relatively vague plans for
farming have had considerable previous farming experience. One out
of four of those who seriously plan
to farm, already owns a farm. These
men are the least inclined to migrate, this survey shows, and the
great majority of the prospective
farmers plan to return to the same
region from which they entered the
army. By and large, they expect to
go back to the same type of fa'rmlng with which they are familiar.
These three-quarters of a million
men who plan farming as a career,
are, roughly equivalent to the tota l
who were farming just prior to induction, although induction records
show that more than a million and a
half men have been taken from the
farms. These, however, included

farm youths who were in school and
were not classed actually as farmers.
Not Room for AU on Land.
According to the army, the
chances are thttt the nation's farms
will not be able to absorb all of the
men planning to return to them, in
spite of the current shortage of a
million farm workers. The army
says that rural areas normally produce more young men and women
than can be efficiently utilized on
the farm. The problem may very
well become acute considering the
wartime increase in farm production achieved by more efficient use
of labor on fewer farms.
A little more perspective on the

this group definitely plans to seek
governmental jobs.
The federal
government now is by far the largest employer in the country and the
monthly report of the Civil Service
commission as of May 1, the latest report, shows paid employment
in continental United States otaled
2,897,077, of which 2,001,186 were in
tlie war agencies. Of this number,
only 252,054 are in Washington.
While war cutbacks are expected
to decrease this number somewhat,
government work is expected to
maintain the upward trend which
has prevailed since the last war.
State and local governments nor·
mally employ more than twice as
many persons as does the federal

EXPECTED POST-W4R MIGRATION PATTERN OF WHITE ENLISTED MEN
(WIDTH OF BAR REPRESENTS PERCENTAGE OF ALL WHITE MIGRANTS)

problem may be had by a further
analysis of the intentions of these
men definitely planning to farm. In
the first place, the survey makes
it clear that a much larger proportion of the men want to become
farm operators, by either buying or
renting, than were farm operators
before the war. A majority say
they can count on returning to a
tract of land which they or their
families own . . . or they already
have in mind a specific piece of
land they expect to buy or rent.
However, one out of every three indicate they will need to locate a
farm to rent or buy after leaving
the army.
So if the plans of all these prospective farmers materialize, there
will be thousands of veterans looking for farms in the postwar period
. . . and they very well may come
up against a shortage of good land,
which may, too, be selling at much
higher prices than before the war.
So there is fear on the part of the
army that many of these men may
be forced to settle on cheaper submarginal land.
The army points out that relief
would be possible on this score if
large sections of public domain or
reclaimed land becomes available.
About one out of six veterans said
they would be willing to move on
such tracts of land.
The same thing is true with respect to the farmer-serviceman as
with the prospective business man
most of them are thinking of
investing sums ranging up to $4,000.
This may be compared with the department of agriculture estimates of
$5,000 to $8,000 as the average cost
of the family sized farm, not counting necessary tools, equipment, livestock, etc . . . . So these prospective
farmers will also need financial
help. How many will actually end
up on the farm will depend on this
aid, and on the comparative opportunities offered by industry and agriculture after the war.
In conjunction with the American
Historical association, the Armed
Forces institute has prepared a
booklet entitled "Shall I Take Up
Farming?" which is available at the
Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.
Most Will Work for Wages.
Of course by far the greatest segment of the armed forces plan to
work for wages on their return. Two
aspects of the plans of these four
million men are noteworthy. First,
only one-third of the white enlisted
men who were employees before
induction and plan to be employees
after the war, de finitely expect to
go back to their former employers.
Another one-third say they may return, but are not sure. This leaves
another million men who will either
migrate and move to other jobs or
who have learned new trades and
expect to do different work.
As a matter of fact the tendency
among a large percentage of these
servicemen is to aspire for work
calling for a higher l evel of skill and
in general, the proportion who plan
to pursue their prewar occupations
declines as one proceeds along the
occupational scale. Five per cent of

U. S. Cow Army Called On for
Peak Milk Production in 1945
\.

Pasture Improvement Through Soil Conservation Means More and
Better Feed.
CHICAGO.-Increases of approximately 2,400.000,000 pounds in 1945
milk production quotas will mean
that the Midwest's dairy herds will
be called on to step up their output to an all-time peak, according
to a statement ma.de public here
by the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee.
"The War Food Administration is
asking dairymen to boost 1945 milk
goals to 122,400,000,000 pounds, compared with 120 ooo,ooo,roo pounds
this year,'' the statement points out.
"Whether the nation's 27,000,000
dairy cows can meet these new wartime quotas IS dependent on steady
aupolies of good, nutritious feed,

proper health conditions and adequate care generally. If these are
provided, cattle will do their part.
"Of essential importance is plenty
of edible, body • building pasture
crops. The dairy farmer's surest
means of providing this for his herds
is to undertake a pasture improvement program that will insure a
good stand of legumes and grasses.
To a,ccomplish this, it is important,
first of all, to build up the soil's productivity by the use of fertilizer containing plenty of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. It is essential, too,
that farmers planning such a program place their orders early to o~

Sunlight influences the amount or
vitamin C in tomatoes, an important
source of this vitamin, research
workers have discovered. Several
years ago the scientists set out to
discover the causes of the variations
in vitamin C content of tomatoes.
They soon found that different varieties of tomatoes had different
amounts of vitamin C, but variations occurred that could not be accounted for in this way. Differences
in soil were next suspected of being responsible, but attempts to
show that certain soils produced
tomatoes with more vitamin C than
others failed.
In a repetition of one experiment
it was noted that the locations
where fruits high in vitamin C were
produced the first time were not invariably those which gave high
values the second time. The problem was then taken to the laboratory, and tests were made in which
all factors that might influence
vitamin C content, such as temperature, illumination, moisture supply
and mineral nutrients supply, were
ruled out except illumination; the
vitamin C content varied with the
amount of light.
Back in the field, it was foundby measuring the amount of illumination at each location where tomatoes were grown - that the vitamin
C value of the fruit closely parallels
the amount of light received by
the plant for abOut two weeks before the harvest. Thus, sunlight
was shown to be the determining
factor in vitamin C content of tomatoes.

Egyptian Pyramids
The pyramids were supposed to
have been constructed between the
fifth and twelfth d}'nasties in Middle
Egypt, and not to have been used
for tombs. They are built upon a
square base, with sides facing the
points ~f the compass, anrt the earlier pyramids wen• constructed of
horizontal layers of rough blocks
fastened together with mortar. In
the center of the pyramid, ncar
the base, was built a chamber
reached by a po.ssage from the north
side. It is said that r.ome of them
contain emblems or symbols, which
are now used m m0sonry. Whether
or not thPre were mnsons at the

through operation of mileage reduction programs in comparison with
official state mileage figures for
1941, the last prewar year.
Translated into equipment, the
430,254 ,000 untraveled miles repre·
sent a saving of 28,683,000 gallons
of gasoline, 78,228 tires, 7,171 new
passenger vehicles - all needed by
the armed forces.
And at a basic cost of 5 cents a
mile, the untraveled miles represent
a money saving of $21,512,742 of
state money, the council of state
governments reports on the basis of
information from the office of price
administration.
A mileage total of 813,661,000 was
reported by 46 states for 1944,
which is a reduction of 34.6 per cent
from the 1,243,916,000 miles reported
for 1941. Complete figures for 1944
should add another 12,000,000 miles
to the total saving, achieved through
car pooling, central di~atching and
share-a-ride practices.
Vitamins for Canning
Tablets of vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) may be used to hold color and
flavor in home-canned peaches,
pears and plums, according to scientists of the Massachusetts Experiment station. They explain
that this substance acts against oxygen, so prevents the unpleasant
darkening and change of flavor in
fruit at the top of the jar where it
comes in contact ·with air. Use of
the tablets is simple. They are put
into the jar before it is filled with
fruit. The cost is less than two cents

tion trouble is prevented by vac:uum
packing and de&amp;erating fruit. In
home canning it is impossible to put
up fruit without air in the jar, so
an antioxidant is needed. For this
purpose the Massachusetts scientists found three related acids - ascorbic acid (vitamin C), isoascorbic
acid and glucoascorbic acid - all
entirely successful in preventing
surface darkening and off-flavors in
canned peaches, pears and plums,
and helpful in canned apple sauce.
At present only ascorbic acid is on
the market in convenient tablet
form, but after the war the others,
which are less expensive, may be
available.
Wireless Telegraphy
The exact date&gt; of the rliscovery
or invention of wireless telegraph~
is not accurately known. Many sc1
entists discovered it theoretically be
fore Marconi made it practical
Some scientific authorities claim
that it was originated by Professor
Dolbear of Massachusetts. Wireless
telegraphy has been so perfected that
it is now one of the ordinary means
of communication throughout the
world.
Unscientifically speaking,
wireless telegraphy consists of dis·
charging powerful electrical cur·
rents into the atmosphere, their vi·
brations being taken up by the natural electricity in the air, and re·
ceived by wires placed at an elevation.
Practically all sea-going
steamers are equipped with wireless
telegraphy.
Versatile Rayons
Rayons which are either soluble
or insoluble in water are being man·
ufactured from alginic acid extracted from seaweed, according to a
British publication. It is reported
that unusual effects may be obtained
by us.:ng the solvble type_ Cotton
and other yarns of very low twist can
be made by using a holding thread
of alginate rayon, which can later
be dissolved away. Woven and lace
fabrics can be produced with cotton
and alginate rayon threads. A patterned material of unusual design
remains after the alginate rayon
ttu"eads have been dissolved away.

Utilize Peanut Waste
Progress toward fully utilizing the
peanut has been announced by the
USDA. The new by-product is a variety of feed yeast that has proved
of value in livestock and poultry
feeding. The process also lessens a
sewage disposal problem. When oil
is extracted from peanuts, the high
J)rotein meal remaining is valuable as a livestock feed, but research has shown th;it it may be
even more valuable for industrial
uses in which the purified protein is
used for tacky and remoistening adhesives, and for coatings, sizings
and fibers . Alter the protein is separated from the meal, a waste
liquor remains which may contain
1 per cent of sugars. Such a liquor
ferments and is likely to be a nuisance in streams, causing odors,
and killing fish by exhausting oxygen in the water. But by controlling
this fermentation in a tank - sterilizing the liquor, and then inoculating it with a food yeast - disposal
is simplified and the sugars are
converted into a protein feed product valuable for its vitamin content.
This yeast has also been used successfully in fermenting similar
liquors from sweet potato starch
mills.
Oil Burners
Oil burners are of vaporizing or
atomizing types, depending on how
oil is broken up into tiny particles
for combustion. Vaporizing burners
pre-mix the a ir and oil by means of
blower and control valves. Atomizing burners are divided into gun and
rotary types; the former shooting
the atomized oil vapor into the firebox, usually from the outside, while
the latter is customarily installed beside the boiler base and employs a
revolving d isc for atomizing. One
of the postwar trends in oil burners
will be in the direction of smaller
burners for the more efficient heat:
ing of the smallest types of houses.
Possibly the trend toward utilization
of the heavier oils which began before the war will be accelerated. A
closer co-ordination between the oil
burner and the boiler is also being
developed now.
Refrigeration Important
One authority estimates at least
77 per cent of the food eaten by the
average American family involves
the use of refrigeration or air conditioning or both for processing,
;:&gt;reserving or distribution. The average diet on which the computation
was based includes dairy products,
cereals, meats, poultry, fats and
oils, fresh and canned fruits and
fresh and canned vegetables. Refrigeration is vital in the production
of new dehydrated and frozen
foods, is used in upward of 6,000
locker plants throughout the country, and in countless other ways, including farm freezers and home
storage cabinets~

The Aviation Committee
When it comes to consideration of
the establishment of an airpark or
other aviation landing facility, each
community finds itself faced with its
individual needs and problems. A
landing facility for each of two communities only a few miles apart may
have to meet quite different requirements.
Before construction can start,
even before a bond issue can be
listed, pertinent information should
be tabulated and plans made accordingly. Such matters as location
of the airpark, size, prospective use,
cost, potential income, related business enterprise and many other sub-

had an intimate connect10n with any
phase of aviation, such as havmg a
part in the Civil Air Patrol program,
or experience as commercial air operators, they would by all means be
urged to participate.
In addition to representativPs of
the community's officialdom, there
should be a cross section of local
business and social enterprise. The
components of this will differ according to the area, but generally
speaking, may include merchants,
professional men, labor leaders,
farmers and school principals and
teachers.
This is recognized as a logical procedure since the airpark must be a
community affair and if it is to

Leaders in community affairs compose the board of directors and officers of the Webster City, Iowa (population 7 ,000) chapter of the National

jects must be studied, at least in a
prdiminary way, if the venture is to
be a success.
An airpark is usually considered
a public utility, much the same as
streets, highwayl and parks. The
chief difference is that an airpark
,may ultimately provide self-support·
ing revenue if correctly planned,
wher~as other community utilities
gener;ally do not.
Based upon experience, aviation
authorities advise that the first step
taken by a community should be the
organization of an air landing facility committee. All members preferably should be local people who
l;now the community's history, its
relation to other communities and·
to the state, and. its plans for the
future.
It is suggested that committee
members might include representatives of the city or town council,
chamber of commerce, civic clubs,
and newspapers. If there are any
persons in the community who have

succeed must cater to all local interests. It will probably surprise
many people to discover how many
varied activities in even a small
community will be influenced in one
way or another by the coming era
of flight.
The appointed committee, after
obtaining and classifying the neces·
sary local data, will then be in a
position to take up its preliminary
plans with aviation authorities and
profit by their experienced advice
and criticism. Forty-four states now
have aviation boards or commissions
ready to help anc! \I.'Gnhington authorities such as thE. Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Department of Commerce the Personal
Aircraft Council of the Aircraft Industries Association of America and
the National Aeronautic Association
will also aid the local planning group:
