We sometimes wonder at the lukewarmness, coldness, formality, indifference, deadness and power­ lessness of the majority of those who profess to be Christians, and of the average church throughout the land today. While reading, a book by Andrew Murray entitled "The Prayer Life,” we are convin­ ced more than ever before that the main reason is that of prayerless ness. How little the average church member and professed Cbris tian prays! Our blessed Lord said: Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” This quotation heads a very wonderful parable on prayer which ever professor of re­ ligion ought to read very, very of. ten and heed. It not only teaches us to alwavs pray, but to hold on and on in prayer—to persevere— until we receive an answer. It is disobeying and dishonoring God to live a prayerless life. No follower of the Lord Jesus Christ should think of praying less than thirty minutes in secret each day, or sometime each twenty-four hours Au hour would be much better. But it is doubtful if the average church member pravs five minutes 4 day in secret, or at the family al­ tar, or anywhere. In the average home the family altar is c. thing of the past, and as a consequence we see the great majority of homes to day sinful, worldly and wicked. No home should be without an al tar of prayer. In byg6ue days when Cbtistians bad the familv al­ tar, and gathered their children a- bout them in praver daily, they didn’t go astray into sin and wick­ edness as thuy are today, drink ing, carousing, committing adnltry, committing crime and going by multitudes the downward road to hell. Oh, the prayer1essness of the homes of America today! As a consequence we see the neadness of the churches, while the vast multitudes are plodding their way to the damnable theatres, the curs­ ed dance halls, the wickad beer joints, and the hfe wreckiffg, mor­ al wrecking, soul-destroying liquor stores or places where it is sold, and going after all kinds of evil, thus under the powerful influence of the devil who is taking them down the broad road to hell and dam­ nation How preachers need to pray! If they would spend about five times more time in prayer than they do sermonizing, and visiting worldly church members, trying to please them, and trying to run the ma- chinery of tbe church with its va­ rious oiganizations, I would not doubt but that the average church would be about ten times more spiritual. Especially might this be so if they would pray much and urge the church to p ay, pray PRAY. Nothing on earth wilV take the place of prayer. With ont much prayer there is little power and victory “ Pray with­ out ceasing.” Bad Eggs According to reports from New York, more than half a million doz­ en eggs which - the Government purchased while housewives were unable to buy them, have become so ancient that even tbe famished would find them unpalatable, with the result chat officials of tbe Food Distribution Administration are a bout to pay somebody to take them off its hands.___________ Land postern for aale hew. KEEP O IT ****** •WITHWAR BONDS * *•«*•** * * * * * • Smuts Sure of Victory Marshal Ian Christian Smuts grand old man of South Africa, told reporters tbat he is not one who knows when tlie war will end, **but we are nearer the end than we are to the beginning.” “ After two months of intensive study,” said Smuts, ''I am going back to South Africa more convinc ed than ever of victory. ' I have al ways been optimistic I knew tbat the war might be long, but that we would, win it. From what I have seen I know it’s all right—okey, as our American friends say.” Tbatjsbunds fine, but there is an undertone which many Americans wilt uot understand. Smuts speaks as though he still had to convince a lot of bis people tbat we are go. ing to win the war. And that is probably true. When the war started there was a strong pro German sentiment a. motig the Afrikanders. TbeUnion of Sonth Africa is made up of four States, those of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Transvaal and Or ange Free State, In the last two the Boers are the predominating element. Back in 1881 the British claimed the country but tbe Boers resisted and established their lnde pendance. At the turu of the cen tury war broke out again, leading after three years bitter fighting to smoulder, and H'tler’s saboteurs fanned it to a flame. At the start of the war there were pro-German demonstrations in Johannesburg and other cities, and swastika flags defiantly flew everywhere. Smuts, himself a Boer, opposed the pro- nazi element, fought bard to gain control and finally swung the Un­ ion into war alongside Great Bri­ tain. A large section of his peo­ ple probably still hope that Ger- many will win. Her; in America there never was any doubt about the outcome of the war. We felt sure of victory from tbe start Smuts speaks as if he bad not been quite certain, al­ though he was always optistic Now, after two months in London, be is sure we will win, and that tbe end is nearer that the end is nearer than the beginning.

We find today In this world so many so called Christians going af­ ter the lusts of the world, which lasts only a short time. So many people say they are Christians, bat Just watch their lives and see if some of them don’t go to dances, theatres and play cards Let’s see what God says about it. “Love not the world, neither the things that are of the wosld. If any man love the world, tbe love of the Fath er is not in him; For all tbat is in the world, tbe lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of lite, is not of tbe Father, bnt is of the world. And the world oass- eth away and tbe lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abid' eth forever/’ I John, 2:15 r7 This is God's word and it says love not the world, neither the things that are of the worid, neither tbe things that are of the world. Brother, sister, listen! .What do you think it is except the love of the world and the things of the world wbeD yon go to the movies, dances, card tables, etc? You go to them for the lust of the Sesh and Inst of tbe eyes and pride of ltfe. When yon are dancing with some other wife’s husband or some husband’s wife, what do >ou tbink of? 1« it not for the Inst of the flesh. Many are led astray and ruined for life and often eternitv, and when you Iooh upon some ungodly picture in the theatre, some girl or man half nudt or some ungodly scene, don't you know that’s tbe lust of the eyes. You simply go for the’pride of life, and not for the glosy of God. A Christian is Christ-like, not just a white washed Christian. Listen, friends, tbat white wash will wash off one of these days, so why don’t you be washed in the blood of Christ today? I krow some of yon don’t like for people to speak of tbe precious blood of Christ. You say it's a ’‘Bloody Religion,’' but glory to God you will have to be wash ed in tbe blood or die and go to hetl. We find that Christians are not of tbe world, even as Cbrist was not of the world. “I have given them tby word; and the world bath bated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of tbe world. I pray not that thou sbottldest take them out of the world, but that thou sbouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify (hem through tbv truth; Thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into tbe world, even so I have also sent them into the world, Aud for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through thy truth.” John, 17:14.19. A true Christian. I should say, according te the word of God, will not go to dances and card parties and theatres, for they are the lusts of the world, and we Christians are not of tbe world. We love not tbe world, neither the things of the world, but are look ing for tbe blessed return of our precious Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. We know he’s coming, even at tbe door, Read I Petrr, 4:2-5, for yourself I want to sav before I close, that the movies or theatres, are tbe devil’s church. When God’s people go to church and desire to go to the house of God, the devil’s children desire the show, The dance ball is the dev­ il’s slaughter house; it causes homes to be broken up The card table has taken the place of tbe Holy Bi ble in so many homes. Instead of reading God’s word they play cards. Wby will you go on in sin? Why won’t yon accept Jfsns while von can, for we have no promise for to­ morrow. Friends, what if today is your last day on earth Where will you spend eternity? Let me “ Dance of the Billions” . Seen Along Main Street Sensational and astounding are the findings, embodied in a report made to the Truman and Byrd Senate com­ mittees investigating New Deal waste and extravagance, by Senator Hugh A. Butler of Nebraska on a 20.000 mile trip to 20 Central and South American countries. New Deal fancies, including those outlawed by Congress for the United States, have been transplanted to Lantin American countries at a cost of more than six billion dollars—an average of $50 for every one of tbe 120.000,000 people in those countries. This vast sum is to be spent over a period of three years. With this money the United States is paying for a multitude of projects many of the boondoggling WPA va riety frown upon by American tax­ payers. On several projects, ac­ cording to Senator Butler’s report, wages are being paid that average three to seven timps the Drevatlins wage scales. An army of United States G ivernment jobholders is in Latin America directing these “good will” projects, which the senator charac’erize as *’a hemispheric hand­ out that is neithor good nor neigh- borlv.” American money is being spent or pledged by more than a dozen gov­ ernment agencies for more than 12.* 000 projects, including agricultural development and farm resettlement projects, roans, sewers; hospitals. stocKing streams a n d lakes with game fish, writers’ projects, ad in­ finitum. Tbe most disturbing fact about this vast spending program is tbat details have been withheld from the American people. With the Treasury Department in­ sisting t at Congress enact another tax law placing an additional tax burden of IOi billion on the Latin A* tnerica needs to be brought from under the cloak of secrecy and pub­ licly aired and debated. Stamp-Licking Contest Staged In Conover A stamp-licking contest was stag ed in Conover Saturday afternoon when two Cono/er citizens inter ested In promoting the sale of war stamps, offered to buy all stamps which two young ladies, one from Conover school and one from the Oxlord school, could lick in 10 minutes. The champion licker got a price. Referee for tbe affair was Lient. Gus Arndt, Newton’s, hero of the Pacific war area, who is there on leave. Taking Care of Veterans More than €00,000 men have al­ ready been discharged from the armed services. Manv of them were released at their own request when they attained the age of 38, but such discharge are no Ianger granted un­ less application was filed before July I. Those coming back now are psy­ choneurotic cases, are physically un­ fit for strenons army life, or have service-connected disabilities. It is said a large number of the rejectees are afflicted with minor mental ail­ ments such as extreme nervousness, a condition which usually disappears quickly on return to civilian life. Some of these veterans have jobs to which they can return. Those able to work have little couble find­ ing suitable employ mm: The dis­ charge from tbe aimed services are now but a trickle—about 300 men are sent back to civilian life daily. But when the war comes to an end this trickle will become a miguty flood, at the very time when war production will cease and before manufacturers will have an oppor­ tunity to convert to peace time pro­ duction.—StetesvilIeDMly.

Tbe New Deal seems to be definitely through. Per. haps it is because the voters have found out that the cost of those lavish hand outs comes out of their own pockets after all. Perhaos it is because dissatisfaction with the administration’s labor policies is more widespread than party lead­ ers are willing to admit. Or per­ haps, as one businessman says, the people are pretty tired of be­ ing pushed around bv bureaucrats in the name of tbe war ” Politic­ ians who have Ion;; basked in the New Deal sun are becoming appre iiensite as they take note of tbe changes in public sentiment. Says Representative Coffee, Democrat, of Washington: “ As a Democrat, I freely admit tbat this administration has permit ted certain abuses to occur which are most reprehensible. We Dem­ ocrats should be the first to clean our own stables. We should beat the Republicans to tbe puneh.” Republicans have carried practi­ cally every worthwhile election in recent months. Unless the admin­ istration institutes some drastic re­ forms, and does it quickly, a Re publican landslide next year mav all but wipe out tbe Democratic party. To quote Mr. Coffee again: “It is time that tbe leaders of the Democratic party tpke stock of the situation at home, view it real isticaily and set about determinedly to correct the all too palpable ty­ rannies which prevail in many gov­ ernment bure. us.”—Statesville Da­ ily, Democratic.

She directed my at­ tention to the platform. “Look, Bar­ ry; listen!” she exclaimed. Two youthful figures were mount­ ing the stage, followed by a third, a larger more mature figure. The first two were our pair of wandering musicians, Pancho and Felipe, with battered guitar and ukulele. The third man carried a small harplike instrument. They began to play before they had turned to face the audience; and Felipe, the older, lifted his soft tenor voice in the Spanish words of a song: "Let us unite our hearts, Charro and China dancing!” There was a China Poblana lurk­ ing in the shadows ready to step onto the platform; a short nervous Charro stood behind her. Of a sud­ den Elsa left roe. At the edge of the crowd I saw Reed Barton move swiftly toward the platform, and be­ fore I realized what was happen­ ing, the two were standing before us under the bright light, and the mu­ sicians were backing off to the side still playing, enticingly, seductively. I’m sure it was one of those spon­ taneous, impulsive acts to which Elsa was so prone. I was reminded of that February evening now weeks in the past and far away in Cali­ fornia at the beach club, when Reed Barton had appeared and claimed Elsa for their first dance together. And now they stood before us—Elsa in the costume said to have been named for a Chinese woman who brought it to the town of Puebla many years ago, and which is to be seen on festive occasions through­ out Mexico; Reed Barton in the costume of the cowboy. “Senor! Valgame Dios! Senor!” “Aqui, Maria,” commanded Sam Chatfield from his place a few seats beyond us. “Que deseas tu?” “Oh, senor!” cried the woman breathlessly, her words smothered somewhat by the applause. “Val- game Dios! El caballero esta muer- to!” Rogers’ strong hand fell upon my leg and his fingers gripped it pow­ erfully. “Did you hear what she . said?” he asked, getting to his feet. “Yes. I heard. Chesebro’s dead.” A little group of frightened worm en servants was outside the entrance to Chesebro’s room. Sam Chatfield drove them away, admonishing them to go back to the kitchen, then threw open the door, and stood back for Rogers and me to enter. ■ James Chesebro lay as if a great and welcome peace had descended upon him. His fat body made a huge mound under the light cover­ ing- “The heart failed to rally, I sup­ pose. The attack must have been more severe than Doctor Cruz thought.” “ Do you think so, Mr. Madison?” “I don’t know, of course, Mr. Chatfield. but—” : I was halted in mid-sentence by Rogers’ action. He stooped, grasped the edge of the bed covers and stripped them back. “His heart failed for quite a dif­ ferent reason, Barry,” be said grim­ ly, pointing to a widening stain of blood over the front of the pajamas. There was' a small hole through the cloth over the heart, and when the cloth itself was pulled aside there was disclosed a small hole in the skin which still oozed blood. “With your permission, Mr. Chat- fiel'd,” Hiint said slowly, “I should like to have Dwight and Margaret stay, and George Rumble, and Reed Barton too. The police, of course,” he looked closely at Sam Chatfield, “will investigate."' “I am required to send for the juez local and the medico legista.” There was a suggestion of stiffness in his words, as if Rogers had an­ ticipated his next move and he re­ sented it. “The body must not be touched until one or both of them have examined it. Doctor Cruz hap­ pens to be the medico legista at Maza tlan. The police of course, will come.” The door closed behind Chatfield’s short figure, and instantly Rogers became active. He glanced at his watch. It was nine-thirty. “I want your help, Barry,” he said. “The capacity of the Mexican police is an unknown quantity to me. It may be excellent. I’ve had no experience with it. We should have half an hour before they arrive. If we're to solve the murder of Kittv Chat­ field, it may be necessary to know just what’s happened here in Ma- zatlan.” He glanced about the shadowy room, neglectful now of the body that lay in its huge mound on the bed. “The cause of death. is....ob- vious,” he remarked, as if in an­ swer to my thoughts. “A small, thin blade of some sort stopped our friend’s weakened heart.” He looked at the little tile table beside the bed, where Chesebro’s watch lay and a glass of water stood. 'He walked over to a huge clothespress that reached toward the shadowy ceiling. “Would you mind holding the candle for me, Barry?” he requested. I took it and he opened the door to the clothespress. “I am looking for Chesebro’s clothing. Here it is.” He brought out the suit of clothes Chesebro had worn that morning, and ran his hand swiftly into the various pockets. “There’s hardly a chance that it’s robbery,” he re­ marked. “Gold pencil,” he enumer­ ated the various objects as he came across them. “Loose change in the trousers pocket. A billfold, obvi­ ously containing money. Letters and papers. That’s all.” He put the suit back into the clothespress again and shut the door. “Robbery is not the motive,” he said. “Not robbery,” said Rogers as we finished our round, “and entrance could have been had only by “Maybe the murderer is hiding there.” means of the door.” He stood a mo­ ment uncertainly. “A dozen murder­ ers could be lurking in the shad­ ows of this enormous room. . Let’s make sure they are not doing so now.” Rogers led the way to the farther end of the room. Massive furniture, dark with age, of a period reminis­ cent of Maximilian, blocked our pathway. “There’s nothing back this way,” said Rogers, holding high the candle and throwing its feeble beams about the end of the room. “Let’s go back to the other end. Maybe the murderer is hiding there.” He led the way, holding the candle high above the level of his eyes. His foqt kicked something as we walked, and it shot like a dark and ominous shadow before us and fell to the floor. “What is it?” I asked, feeling that my voice shook slightly. “Something soft, and light,” he said, advancing again. A few steps farther on he halted, stooped and picked up the object. “A sombrero,” he said. Rogers held the large sombrero in his hand as if to examine it in the light of the candle. I took it from his hahds and walked over to the light near the bed. It was a black felt sombrero, comparatively new, for it showed almost no signs of wear; across the front of the crown was an orna­ mental pattern in hand-wrought sil­ ver. . “George Rumble’s, sombrero, isn’t it?” asked Rogers over my shoul­ der. “He has one IiUe this,” I replied. “It was on the rack near the front door earlier this evening. How would it get in here, though?” “Perhaps George can tell us.” He took the sombrero from me and dropped it on the foot of the bed, where it remained a dark and sin­ ister shadow, and turned to the bed­ side as if to check again some point about the murder victim which had occurred to him. A light tap came at the door, and Rogers halted abruptly. “Come,” he called. The door was pushed resolutely open. Vague figures in the dim light crowded the doorway. Sam Chat­ field entered, followed by Doctor Cruz, and behind him two men in ui iform. They advanced into the room and the door closed behindthrill. Doctor Cruz nodded to’ us, and went at once to the figure on the bed. Sam Chatfield presented the other two men. “Senor Otilio Lom­ bardo. jefe del policia,’’ he said, “and Senor Alvarez of the policia; Senor Madison and Senor Rogers.” They bowed to us, but their in­ terest was centered ™ bed W.N.Uten v icE where Doctor Cruz already was ex* amining the dead man. They pushed on to join him and stood re­ spectfully back until at last the doc­ tor looked up and gave In Spanish his opinion tfiat Jaiiles Chesebro had died of a knife thrust not so long a time before. Lombardo and his satellite looked intently for some moments at the wound, then turned away without a word and sat down. “I am very sorry, Senor Chat­ field,” Lombardo said, looking up at our host and sneaking in Span­ ish, “that this has happened in your house. I know that your hospitality is above reproach. You cannot help this sad thing, of course; it is very sad. Who is the gentleman?” “Senor James Chesebro.” Lombardo's eyebrows shot up­ ward. “He of the mine back in the mountains?” he inquired. "Yes.” “That is bad. Can you tell me who killed him?” “I cannot, Senor Lombardo.” “Senor Rogers here,” said Sam Chatfield, laying his hand upon Rog­ ers’ arm, “is‘quite famous for solv­ ing the mystery of murder north of the border.” “Ah, so!” exclaimed Lomba^So. “Welcome, my friend. Perhaps He nave a mystery here. If so I OTall lean upon you. But, I think It is easily explained, no?” “I hope so, Senor Lombar lo,” Rogem replied in Spanish. “Sn far Senor Madison and I have found nothing of importance. It was not suicide, because there is no weapon. It was not rnuri l i t for the purpose of robbery.” “And the weapon. Senor Rogers; you say you have not found it?” “I’ve been unable to discover it anywhere in the room; it is, of course, a knife of some sort.” “Yes. Thank you, senor, you have saved me much work.” “Did the gentleman have any ene­ mies, Senor Rogers, either here in Mazatlan or at home?” inquired Al­ varez, the gendarme. The man had not spoken until now. Rogers shook his head. “I know of none, senor.” “I think,” Lombardo said, stir­ ring to his feet, “it is time we talk with someone about this crime. Who made the discovery, Senor Chat­ field?” Sam Chatfield got to his feet, tak­ ing a step toward the door, as if to lead the way. “I think it was Ma­ ria. It was she who came to tell me of it.” “We shall talk to Maria, then," said Lombardo. The kitchen was large; gloomy shadows filled all the vast region above two unfrosted electric light bulbs which hung down from the high rafters on long cords. “Stop!” shouted Lombardo. “Do not run away, anyone.” Two or three M'mly flying figures made good their escape, while some four or five less fortunate obeyed the command and remained behind, standing with fidgeting hands and shuffling feet in the presence of the law. “Maria,” called Lombardo, sitting down in a small chair whose creak­ ing, polished seat long years before had been cut from the hide of a cow. “Yes, sir,” the woman who had brought word of Chesebro’s death, as we sat looking on at the dance» in the courtyard, came to a flutters attention near the middle oven. “Come here, senorita,” directed the chief. Alvarez drew up a chair before us for the woman, who sat down timidly, her dark eyes fas tened apprehensively upon her ques­ tioner. “You made the discovery of the dead man, did you not, Maria?” in- quired Lombardo. “Yes, sir.” “Tell me about it.” “I,” she began timidly, “I go to the gentleman’s room to inquire Senor Jefe del Policia, if he desire* food. I push open the-door gentlv and speak to him. He does not at, swer. I open the door and go in, and still he does not reply to my question. I go all the way to the bed, and—senor—God*help m e!—he is dead.” “Did you see the man who killed him, Maria?” i'iiuired Lombardo. “Oh, no. sir; I do not. I do not know who killed him. I swear, se­ nor, I do not know. Outside is the fiesta. I cannot hear. I cannot see. So I do not know.” “Come here, you,” commanded Lombardo. A man, dressed in white cotton trousers, a ragged shirt an<* carry­ ing in his hand a battered s>traw sombrero, shuffled forward on gua- raches which were little more than leather soles for his bare feet. “Who are you?” demanded Lom­ bardo. “I am Pedro, sir," the man re­ plied nervously. 1 “Who are you? What do you do?" "I am Pedro, the pulque man, sir.” “Pulque man,” grunted Lombar­ do. “Why are you here?” I “I bring the pulque for t-ie Tiesta, sir.” “Yes, of course. But what do you know about the death of the gentle­ man in the big room?” “Nothing, sir. I do not know therf is a gentleman murdered.” (TO BE CONTINUED!

JESUS BUST WITH HIS MINISTRY OF LOVE LESSOR TEXT-M ark 1:32-45. GOLDEN TEXT—I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.— John 9:4. Jesus said that He “must work the works of him that sent him” (John 9:4). And so we find Him go­ ing straightway about His Father’s business. It is a good example He hfls set for us. What He did and how He did it will give us many lessons which we may apply to our service. We can­ not do exactly what He did, but in His power we may do mighty works. We find our Lord doing four im­ portant things— I. Healing (vv. 32-34). We will do well to include verses 29-31 in our thinking, for there we find our Lord tenderly sharing the sorrow of the home of a friend. One can picture the anxious hush that hovered over the home as distressed relatives and friends sought to al­ leviate the suffering of the one with a fever. They knew the possibility of a serious outcome of the illness. Many of us have gone through that dark valley. AU at once there was new hope, and soon there was joy. Jesus had come and had brought healing. Many of us have also hiid that blessed experience. Christianity is not a selfish faith, if it follows its Lord. We see in verses 32 to 34 that all the city came to His door with the diseased and demon-possessed, and He healed them all. The account of the kindly and in­ telligent care of the sick is written large on the pages of the history of the Christian church. We do nr* have His divine touch of immediate healing, but we may have His com­ passion which served the multitude with tenderness and kindness. II. Praying (vv. 35-37). The Son of God sought out a place and a time for prayer communion with His Father. How often we who profess to follow Him fail to pray at all. Certainly we need the grace and power that prayer can bring far more than Jesus did. But, we say, we are so busy. So was He. We are tired. So was He. People will not let us alone. They also fol­ lowed Him. We make excuses, but we have no real reasons for our un­ fortunate delinquency.. All men were seeking Him (v. 37), but still He took the needed time to pray. It has been said that “if you are too busy to . pray, you are busier than God ever intended you to be.” When His disciples wanted Him, they had to look for Him in the place of prayer. Christian workers and pastors, do people find us there? HI. Preaching (w.-38, 39). Jesus said, “Let us go . . . that I may preach . . . for therefore came I forth.” It bears repetition that while Jesus did many miracles (and not for a moment would we detract from their worth and glory), yet He repeatedly, by word and act, empha­ sized the importance of preaching. Foolish though it may seem to the natural man (I Cor. 1:18-25), preach­ ing the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit is now, as it has been through the centuries, God’s chosen means of accomplishing His pur­ pose. What a pity that churches and pastors are forsaking it for book reviews, dramas, social hours, forums, and what not! God give us a revival of great, humble, and fearless preaching of the Word! IV. Cleansing (vv. 40-45). There is a sense in which the cleansing of the leper was another act of healing, but leprosy is such a striking type of sin that the inci­ dent calls for special 'consideration. Leprosy is like sin in that it is a destructive malady that pursues its insidious way without revealing its true nature until it is far advanced. It renders a man unclean, loath­ some to himself and dangerous to others. At least such it was in the days of our Lord. Was there then no. hope for the leper? Yes; Jesus had come. The smitten man cried out, “If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” And Jesus said, “I will . . . and he was cleansed.” So may the sinner , be cleansed, for “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). He will not turn the vilest of men away, for He came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). There is another important lesson here. The man who Was cleansed disobeyed the instructions of Jesus (v. 44), with the result that the Lord’s ministry in that place was greatly limited. We should obey the commands of God without question, and without any deviation from them. Disobedi­ ence, even though it be by reason of great joy and enthusiasm, results in confusion. Our Lord knows ex­ actly what should be done in a par­ ticular place at a certain time. When He guides, we should conform—for our own good and His glory.

I I THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVTLLE, N. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. "^ E W YORK--Once upon a time there were two miners and each had a son. One son climbed a rocky road, and climbed, and after a while r «*• , e said to him-Tw o M iners Sons Clim b R ocky Road A n d B oth Go H igh self: “How am I do­ ing?” And he was do­ ing 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 di­ rection; and after a while he said to himself: “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 fash­ ioned and say: “That is Amer­ ica, 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 prob­ ably doesn’t keep wages down be­ cause 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 rud­ dy, stocky, and insiders call him patient, reasonable. 450-Year-Old New England Oak Goes to War f ' V - S - T- 4 Ss All over America giant treqs are crashing to earth to take their place on our navy’s ships.

F re d e ric kM ajorG eneralat Anderson’s 38 , His Grem lin prom otion R ates a M ention Jom bn«a dier is an­ other evidence. He helped blue-print the plan in this year’s fourth month after Air Marshal Harris and our | own General Eaker got a green light from Casablanca. Anderson is probably the only American general owning a gremlin. His is a gift from his eight-year-old son and is called, if the word may be mentioned in this refined corner, Stinky. Stinky, says Master Travis, fends off ack-ack, upends a Messerschmitt, corrects the gen­ eral’s faulty navigation, if any, aims the general’s machine guns, adds extra powder to the general’s bullets when they must travel extra far to reach a tar­ get; and he always has a double chocolate soda ready on the gen­ eral’s landing. Practically a diapered major gen­ eral, only 38, Anderson was born in Kingston, N. Y. At West Point he was so rambunctious he was called the "Wild Indian.” Out of West Point he got promptly into a plane and went up rapidly after a slow start. His big chance came in 1941 when he was sent to study aerial bombardment in England’s , ruined cities. Now he heads the Eighth Air Force Bomber command and al­ ready wears the Legion of Merit award, the DFC and a Silver Star. Ultimately he wants a ranch out West with his wife, Travis, his daugh­ ter, and, surely, Stinky. • * T ^ G * 11 It! ■ I •v .S' M . » I Lower left: British sappers work i~.oidIy to construct a bridge for the advancing machines and men of the Allied Fifth army.

There are, he c o m - plains, more than he can shake a stick at, all lay ing ciphers end to end. He thinks they all ought to be bookkeepers for astronomers. The groans were immediately inspired by Dr. Donald Du Shane, a bellwether schoolteach­ er nearly as round as the ciphers be tosses at senators peering into juvenile delinquency. Dr. Du Shane blames a penny-pinching federal educational policy for the evils the senators peer at, but adds that a little money would right everything. He mentions two billion, would prefer three. This seems to be the doctor’s first talk of billions, but millions have Often rolled off the tip of his tongue. A couple of years ago he was urging the financial, and other, needs of the several hundred thousand teachers in the National Educational associa­ tion of which he was then president. Dr. Du Shane is fifty-eight years of age now, plump, gray and persua­ sive. A native of Indiana, he studied at the University of Wisconsin, mar­ ried recklessly at twenty-two and moved through a series of school superintendencies to Columbus, Ohio He stayed there- until NEA made him its head. Now he is secretary of NEA’s commission for the defense of democracy Hirikigh education. He is also secretary of the NEA com­ mittee looking now into charges that New York city’s board of education is under the thumb of Mayor La Guardia.

Paradise By Gordon Gaskill (W N U Feature— Through special arrangement with The Americatk Magazine.) There is a spot in Palestine sur­ rounded by orange groves where the U. S. army has established a rest camp for tired or vacationing sol­ diers. It can handle 750 at once and draws them from a vast, 5,000-mile territory stretching from the Per­ sian Gulf to the west coast of Africa. Next to home, this is a sort of par­ adise which soldiers dream about. The kind of place where captains tiptoe in and ask if there’s anything they can do for you. The kind of place where top sergeants even smile at privates. The official name of this unique spot is "Levant Recreation Center.” The army sbied away from the name “Rest Camp.” They were afraid the boys would think they had nothing to do but sleep, eat, read, and knit khaki-colored wool. They needn’t worry. The G.I. grape­ vine works fast, and by now every soldier from the West African jun­ gles to the sweltering Persian Gulf, and in all the great desert lands be­ tween, knows that this is a place where a man can write bis own ticket. Sure, he can read and knit if he vvants to. But he can also—and 90 per cent do—spend only $14 for an all-expense tour of Falestine which, is a peace-time tourist, would cost iim at least $500. Holy Jerusalem s only 75 minutes away by car. He ■an loll on the army’s private and 'ancy beach if he likes lolling. With­ in 15 minutes he can be in clean, modern Tel-Aviv, which is the world’s greatest all-Jewish city, for is much hell-raising as suits him. \ little over 99 per cent do that. Like Luxury Hotel. Arrivals at the Center meet first Capt. Lloyd Howard, who runs it. Je makes a short talk to each in- joming batch of soldiers. “Fellows,” he says, “I’m just run- iing a hotel for Uncle Sam. We’re rying to provide you with every- hing but breakfast in bed, and we’re vorking on that.” Howard used to be superintendent J playgrounds at Lynchburg, Va. One morning I watched nearly 200 lew arrivals come in. They carried inly musette bags containing toilet irticles, mess kit, and a few extra Iothes. The camp supplies every- iiing else. Only a small handful of hem had ever seen action. Most f the men, like Private Salvadore pano of Newark, N. J., had never card hostile bombs or bullets, yet irmy doctors say men like him eed rest and change even more nan combat troops. Front-line ex­ ilement keeps them pepped, up. It’s different with the Private panos of the army. Their work is ssential but unexciting and monoto- ious. Tliis was Spano’s first fur- iugh in 14 months. He had been tationed in a godforsaken desert ircraft repair depot. I asked him /hat the climate was like. “Climate!” he snorted. “There in’t no climate—just half heat, half and. Wbatta hole! All we needed o be really buried was to have a ttle dirt sprinkled on us.” Then Private Spano looked out iver the great, green gardens the ews have created in Palestine, out a the blue, white-edged Mediter- anean and to shining Tel-Aviv. “Boy,” breathed Private Spano, after that desert stuff I see now vhy they call this the Promised ‘-.and.” Eight Days of Fun. Nearly all the men had the irmy’s famous eight-day furlough. VIost came by train (a few arrived in trucks and planes) and coming and going gobbled up two days. Only six days, or 144 precious hours, were left, and Captain Howard was wise enough not to waste it on red tape. He has pared the checking-in proc­ ess to a bare 15 minutes. Men move swiftly past a row of tables. One table gives Palestinian money for whatever kind the soldie. has. Once through this line, which is the last concession to military or­ ganization for six days, a man is practically a civilian again. He can do what he pleases and; go where he pleases. It’s theoretically possible —although nobody does—to spend all of one’s leave at the camp and have a swell time absolutely free. Music and Cold Showers. From morning till evening, the camp is bathed in music, played softly oyer loud speakers every­ where. One of the camp’s principal charms is hot showers all day. which seems like a mirage to men over- long in the desert. Another is a plentiful supply of ice water at foun­ tains. Another is the fact that you can sleep as long as you like in the morning. The best G.I. foods are supple­ mented’ in season by vegetables, grapefruit, oranges and pork from Oie camp’s own farm. O U SEH llD TSS A piece of velvet is often more effective than a brush to remove dust from silk.* * * , Instead of pricking your fingers pulling out sandburrs, hold your socks or. other clothes over a pan of water and pull off the burrs with a regular hair comb.. • • » If your tablecloth is beginning to look shoddy, cut it up with the pinking shears to make place mats, bibs for the children, or pot- holder pockets to hang on the kitchen wall.• * • Examine children’s shoes fre­ quently. In as short a time as four weeks a child’s foot may grow from one to three sizes larger.• * * To keep stockings and socks from wrapping around the clothes­ line on a windy day, drop a marble in the toe of each. You’ll get longer wear from your stockings if you take this precaution, and these days that is something.• • • When hot compresses are re­ quired, use a potato ricer to wring out the hot water and save your hands.• « • Before storing white shoes or other summer footwear, wash and replace the shoe laces, dean or polish the shoes, insert shoe trees, and place the shoes in boxes or other wrappings. They will keep better and be ready for immedi­ ate use next season. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT PLANTS CABBAGE PLANTS Charleston VVakeBeld, Early Jersey Wake» field.

The widely distributed baker- birds build oven-shaped structures of .clay, planted in the most blatant manner in exposed positions, where they are taken to be lumps of stone by the hungry night-prowl­ ing beasts. These day nests take several months to construct, and become so hard that a hammer must be employed to get at the eggs. The cock-hombill incarcerates his ’ lady in a hollow tree and bricks up the opening with clay, leaving only a space sufficient for the passing of food through to her.

NOSE DMK Get Into Action For Full Victoiyl By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union. THAT v acan t spot in the en tertain m en t world is filled, now that John F. Sul­ livan—Fred Allen to the world at large—is back on the air on Sunday evenings. Once again, he’s working 40 to 50 hours a week to bring us that 30 minutes of entertainment. During the last war Pred served with the AEP; during this one he's doing his best for men in the service; while he was on that long “vacation” he did several pro­ grams which were exclusively for transmission to overseas AUen fans in the armed forces. He played his FRED AIXEN first radio role In 1932—Helen Mor­ gan was his guest star. Now, 11 years later, he’s at it again, better than ever. For the first time in 23 years of stardom Richard Dix turns from hero to heavy in RKO’s “The Ghost Ship.” “When I returned home aft­er a day of violent villainy at the studio, I was almost ashamed to face my wife and the kiddies,” he re­marked. — * — Dick Powell claims that he has answered the question of how to stay happily married while acting in pictures IIB times since be began work in Rene Clair's “It Happened Tomorrow.” He says be plans to issue a mimeographed statement— “It’s just the same as if you worked for the telephone company in Ko­ komo. Don’t take your business home.” He adds: "It helps if you love your wife!” — * — Jean Arthur’d like to remam Jean Arthur on the screen, but can’t. It’s her real name, and a certain blonde comedienne made it famous first. So 19-year-old Jean, of “Song of the Open Road,” has had to give in and become Jean Vqil profes­ sionally. — * — A dew tap ballet is being created for Eleanor Powell, dancing star of United Artists’ "Sensations of 1944”; it combines ballet steps and regular tap steps, and Eleanor is putting in six hours of practice daily with David Ldchine of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe. . Ronnie, nine - year - old son of George Burns and Gracie AUen, prides himself on manfully remain­ing dry-eyed when scolded for bad behavior. But recently he came home from school with a good report card, and George and Grade were so proud and pleased and praised him so much that he stood it as long as he could—and then burst into tears! — * — The March of Time’s “Naval Log of Victory” is a factual record of our navy’s fight to regain control of the seas from Murmansk to Midway. Documented by scenes of actual air and sea combat, the film is an over­ all picture of actual naval tactics In operation from Pearl Harbor to the present. It' is our navy’s answer to Pearl Harbor, and nobody can afford to miss it. — * — That roar of laughter heard after Producer Ted Collins introduces Pro­ fessor Tom Howard of “It Pays to Be Ignorant” on the “Kate Smith Hour” is due to this—Tom bounces on stage garbed in a cap and gown. When he turns his back to the. audi­ence they see that, emblazoned on the back of the gown, are the words, “Charlie’s Tire Shop.” Three laughs per minute or better is the average for listeners who tone in the big four Tuesday night com­ edy shows between 9 and 11 Eastern War Time—Bums and AUen, Fibber McGee and Molly, Bob Hope and Red Skelton. A statistician’s check showed a total of 366 laughs dur­ ing the two hours: Bums and AUen registered 106; Fibber McGee and MoUy, 75; Bob Hope, 92; Red Skel­ ton, 93. — * — ODDS AND ENDS-IThen Fred Atten Unt Minerva Pious and John Broun to Jade Benny he thought he’d get them back when he returned to the air, but they dedded to stay with Jade ., .

Whitman—WNtJ Feature*, BLISTERED PAINT Question: Please reprint the name of the paint remover you have men­ tioned, and how to use it. I wish to remove some blistered paint. Answer: Trisodium phosphate, three pounds dissolved to 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 dissolved to water. There also are commercial paint removers to be had at paint stores. A blowtorch sometimes is used for bhstered paint on the outside of a house. But this should be used only by someone with experience, be­ cause of the fire hazard.• * * INSULATING A CABIN Question: I have a cabin finished with a fir siding outside on two-by- four studs, 24 inches on center, un- Iined, with no interior finish. I want to insulate and finish it inside for temperatures running as low as 25 below zero. The objective is to fin­ ish for year-round living. A shred­ ded wood-fibre blanket insulation was. suggested. There is no ceflar under the house, but the space there is high enough to get under it. Please advise. Answer: A one-inch thick insulat­ing blanket to the walls, and a stud thickness of insulation to the attic and floor should make the house quite comfortable—provided, of course, there is sufficient heat to the house. It would help greatly to put storm sash on aU windows. Be­ fore installing the floor insulation, coat the underside of floor with liquid asphalt to keep out dampness. • * * Old DecanterQuestion: 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 news­ paper methods of cleaning, but with­ out success. Can you suggest 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 last resort, you might try cleaning with bird shot to hot, soapy water. Swish it around to the decanter to the same way you tried with the shredded newspaper.• • • Painting a Tin Roof Question: Is it too late to the year to paint our tin roof? We have been planning to do it for some time, but there has been so much rain. How soon after it stops rain­ ing, and at what time of the day should the work be done? Answer: The surface should be absolutely dry, and the temperature should not be lower than 50 degrees —warmer would be better. Wait un­ til dampness of night has dried off to the morning before starting Uie work. If painting is to be attempted at temperatures below 50 degrees, add a pint of turpentine to each gal­ lon of paint.• * • Shutting Off RadiatorsQuestion: I have a hot-water heat­ ing system to my house. I have made plans to shut off two of the upstairs radiators to order to con­serve fuel. How can this be done? I do not wish the pipes to freeze. Answer: The radiators should be disconnected and emptied. This should be done so that there wfll be no branch pipe with standing water to it to a cold room. Your heating man will know how to do this.• • • Garden Hose in WinterQuestion: Should anything be done to our rubber garden hose when storing it away for the winter? Answer: Wash the outside of the hose with mUd soap and water, then rinse with dear water. If you wish, a rubber preservative can be ap- pUed to the surface. It is on sale1 at many of the large department 3tores and some auto accessory shops. Store the hose in a cool, dry place. TpEA towels as gay as your -*• dishes are possible with this new transfer.

Indexing Names The latest system for indexing personal names enables a clerk to locate quickly even those thati sound alike but are written differ­ently, says Collier’s, such as Kelly with 14 spellings, Snyder with 29, and Burke which is also written Bork, Byrk, Bhourque and 36 oth­er ways. Each entry is listed al­ phabetically under the first name to the section containing all sur­ names with the same chief conso­ nant sounds. Hence, the card for, Lily “Burke,” however spelled, would be filed to section Brk under Lily. Cents of Thought Be what your friends think you are; avoid being what your enemies say you are, go right forward and be happy.—Pom­ eroy. The soul of a philosopher runs away from his body and desires to be alone and by herself.— Plato. It is something to have an in­ fluence on the fortunes of man­ kind; it is greatly more to have an influence on their intellects. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.—Luke 6:44.

The faithfulness of Mother dear . Is wonderful to know. And brings us sweet peace and cheer As on our way we go. Inspiring us likewise to live. Be faithful, kind and good. And of our time and service give To others as we should. Amid the conflicts and’the toils Dear Mother never fails. And from her duty ne’er recoils To seek the easy trails Where she might find going smooth* With less of toil and care. And make no sacrifice to soothe The woes that others bear. Dear Mother fought her battles well With patience that iB grand. Although in words we cannot tell How bold has been her stand For God and home, right and truth. And then against the wrong. That she might help both age and youth And win to God a tnrong. She’s been a faithful Mother, too, In sickness and distress; To friends and neighbors she is true. We’re happy to confess. She scatters sunshine, day by day, Through prayer and faith and love. And blesses others on life’s way By serving God above. There waits for Mother, we believe. A home that’s sweet and fair. Where she with angels shall receive A “Crown of Life” up there. If she to God will faithful be A sew more fleeting days; And when from earth her soul is free She’ll ever-sing God’s praise. Did You Know That the American people now bear the heaviest tax burden of any country in tLe world? That the per capita tax burden in the United States, including fed­ eral, state and local taxes, is $357; in Great Britain $291? That the federal tax load of the Ameiican people this year will ap­ proximate $43j£ billion, plus state and local taxes of $10 billion—or a total tax load of more than $53 btl lion per annum? That federal expenditures in the United States for the current year are expected to reach $90 to $95 billion; in Great Britjan about $23 billion? That since 1933 the federal tax burden of the American people has been increased twemyfold—from two billion annually to more than forty billions? That as President Roosevelt has truly said, “taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors” ? Good Advice John Nance Garner, former vice- president, on his 75th birthday told the world that the New Deal ad ministration should “take the hob­ bles off the people and give them a chance to tbiuk and act for them­ selves. Return to the Amerlcau way of life and the people will solve their own problems,” was the sound aod sensible advice given by this patriarch of the Democratic party. Shear And Skio One Congressman, epeaking 0 f levying taxes, pointed out that “you can shear a sheep every year, but you can only skin him once.” But it seems thore is no limit to the num­ ber of times you can pull the wool over bis eyes.—Ft.

Not only that, but it gives onr people a chance for recreation or work around the honse after their regular-day’s work-in store, office or factory has been completed- But we can’t see to save our life where there is auy advaotage in Utter Disgost For New Deal Tactics Drew Pearson is continuallv lift. Ing the lid on some good, juicy news at the nation’s capitol Now he comes throngh with a story a bont a rather warm conference held bv Democratic leaders recently. He says the Democrats are trying to keep it quiet but there was a bot blow-up over tbe 1944 cam­ paign at a private administration luncheon on the Senate side of tbe capitol the other day. The principal were Democratic National Chairman Frank Walker, Food Administrator Marvin Jones and Senator Guv Gillette of Towa, whom the President attempted to continuing this plan during t h ej purge in 1928. winter months The majority of1 Gillette showed up late Ior the luncbean and was promptly chalour people get up aronnd seven o’clock. At this season of the year it is pitch dark at that hour. Lights have to be turned on until well after eight o'clock So how In the world can there be any saving in tbe use of electricity? Not only that, but when you get up in the dark and start to work in the dark, your day begins in an at­ mosphere of gloom and depression. Far different from the feeling you get ftdtn seeing tbe sun bright and clear and well over the horizon. Schools in various parts of the state are opening at ten o’clock in the morning, instead of nine This is done because of tbe fact that small children have to stand by the side of the highways in .he dark, waiting for busses to come along. Parents used to be able to take their children ,to school when on their way to work Now, I owever, parents have to leave home before the childred do. Many other in­ conveniences also result in other ways. To our ways of thinking, this business of keeping the docks advanced in the wintertime is one of the silliest things that ever has been inflicted upon our people. It ought to be done away with.—The State. “Believe It Or Not” Interned Japanere are being ur. ged by a War Relocation Authority to come to the Mid-West to teach Michigan and Ohio farmers cleanli­ ness and efficient agricultural prac tices! Here is the appeal, as pub. Iished in Midwest Frontiers, issued by the WRA office in Cleveland, Ohio: “ Believe it or not, some few ten­ ants and seasonal workers do not bathe! They think it is nnhealtby. We need you people to change our ideas about this. You have a les­ son to teach Ohio and Michigan farmars in sanitation.” Farmers on Michigan and Ohio frontiers and in Mid-West states may accept this reflection on tbeir cleanliness with a smile, charging it is off as just another slip bv a thoughtless bureaucrat but on Capi­ tol Hill in Washington it brought angry comments from members of Congress who denounced it as an other instance of New Deal “stu­ pidity, blundering aod. fuzzy brain ed thinking.” OPA Is Practical!

Ienged bv Walker and Jones. “ What’s tbis I hear about you not running for re election to the Senate in 1944” asked Walker. That's right,” replied Gillette, "I’ve annonced that I wouldn’t run again for tbe Senate, and I in­ tend to stick to it ” “ Bnt how about your party?” counted Walker. ‘ We need men of your caliber to hold up the state ticket In 1944. Otherwise, we’rn going to have a tough time.” ' I’ve been waiting for some time for someone to say that,” replied Gillette. “You gentlemen didn’t seem to think that I belonged to the Democratic party in • 938, when Tommy Ccrcoran and other mem­ bers of tbe White House guards were trving to defeat me in the Iowa senatorial primary. ” “ How about in 1932?” countered Walker ” “Listen, Frank, don’t Iry to kid me about the campaign,” respond, ed Gillette-“I admit I rode in on the President’s coattails like a lot of others.” “And you still don’t agree that you owe something to the partv?” shot bajk Walker. “Owe something to tbe party shot back Walker. “Owe something to the party that tried to kick me out ot office?” replied Gillette angrily. “I guess not! Far from it, Frank, and you can tell the President, if you want to, that I will not run for re elec­ tion as Senator from Iowa on the Democratic ticket under any cir­ cumstances.” With that, tbe Iowa anti New Dealer turned on his heel and walk­ ed out. However, one thing Gil­ lette still has to make clear to Capi- tol Hill observers is whether be will run for the Democratic presidential nomination Former Democratic National Chairman Jim Farley has suggested that Gillette throw his bat in the ring Diapers For Derbies When and investigating congress man revealed that the Lend-Lease Administration in Washington had shipoed 100,000 eompleted diapers and materials for 600.000 additional diapers to tbe natives of North Af- frica. thousands of folks had a good laugh; for it was disclosed that the Arabs, not knowing what to do with the diapers, are wrapping them a- round their heads. Yes it was fun­ ny—to everyone except new parents in this country who have been won­ dering why there was a shortage of diapers, although apparently tbe knitting mills were manufacturing plenty 0 f diaper-cloth. Wonder what those Lend-Lease boys wilj ship overseas next in the name of war? WAR BONDS Two Many Draft Dodgers Winston-Salem Journal. Too many voting men are “dod­ ging their military duty” by re­ maining in war industry, charges Warren Atherton, national com­ mander of the American Legion. “There is no man 2t, 22, or 23 so indispensible that he cannot put on tbe uniform of tbe United Stages, Atherton declares. He adds that he was recently in a war plant In Newport News. Va. and “It made me sad to see so many young faces.” Some of these plants, Atherton charges, “are offering a refuge f om uniforms.” The Atherton charges strike at a sa’tent feature of the war manpow er mobilization plan as it evolved under the McNutt program appar. ently. The emphasis was placed upon the I‘work or fight” alterna­ tives and finally dependency was ruled out as a guiding factor in se­ lecting men for military service. Occupational ssatus was to come first. If a man was performing vita” ’ war work he was to be de­ ferred regardless of age and depen­ dency status despite the contention of all experienced military men that the armed forces needed the young men from 18 to 30 worst of all as they constituted the best training and fighting material Tbe Atherton assumption that no man in bis eatly 20’s is so in dispensable in war work that he cannot put on a uniform is doubt­ less based upon the idea that an indispensale skill is not a surface gloss but comes from a long period of training and prac’ical experi ence It is true that young men can learn welding’ riveting, blue­ print reading, and other war skills in a few months, but this very fact goes to support the thesis that such trainees are not indispensable, since if they can be trained very qnickly so can others be trained to take tbeir places. Now that Congress has passed legislation restoring dependency as a major factor in the selection of. inducteas and relegated occupation­ al activity to a less important rat­ ing, indubitably more and more of the younger war workers will face induction The gradual tapering off process In less vital war ' indus­ tries may accelerate this movement.

Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features. -WNU Release. W E W YORK.—When young Peter ’ of Jugoslavia was hurried out of an English school after the as­ sassination of Alexander nine years ago he wasYoung Peter Woald told he had N ot ‘A s Soon Be asteadyjob B eggar as K ing’ and „ he isroyally re­ sentful at Partisan Chief Tito for making himself head of a home gov -1 eminent, even a temporary govern­ ment. Tito boosts himself the more easily because young Peter quit Jugoslavia when the Germans crowded in. Rather he was urged out, an 18-year-old boy, by his generals. They had turned on Prince Paul, Nazi-loving re­ gent, and made Peter king at a midnight crowning, but they felt themselves and the king too weak to buck Hitler. Peter is 20 now, bony and a bit bow-legged as riding breeches made plain when he visited the United States last year. He is a long­ faced, long-necked homely kid, not too prepossessing, but reportedly in dead earnest. When he took the midnight crown he quit breaking speed limits and genera] fooling around. These days he is in Cairo, a nice jumping-off place for a fast trip home when that seems sen­ sible. He could eas'ly take a wife with him, at least a fiancee. She would be pretty Princess Al­ exandra of Greece. They finally reported their engagement this summer a Her a set-to with Pe­ ter’s advisers. Those cautious graybeards doubted the good taste of announcing the happy event while Peter’s subjects were so unhappy. fT fHE last time a Yankee migrated into British parts and tried to make everybody happy he killed off all the knights of the Round Table He Would Build o w n h g o o se 9-Point Utopia in cooked by Postwar Canada Merlin With­out M ark Twain he might have done even worse. It was a job to discourage all Yankees, but here comes a Down-easter with a program for making another batch of Britons “the happiest people on God’s green earth.” The program is C. D. Howe’s, Canada’s wartime munitions minister, and before that the world’s biggest builder of grain elevators, and before that a Do­ minion cabinet minister, M. P. and professor, but before that a good steady No. 2 on the crew of the Waltham, Mass., higb school. After high school and Massachu­ setts Tech, Howe got a teaching job over the border. He returned home for a wife. But then ha went back for keeps. He was naturalized, built his elevators, got rich. He didn’t rise quite as high as the Connecticut Yankee, but he was elected to par­ liament, was hiked up into the cabi­ net and there ran the railroads, the canals and the Canadian Broadcast­ ing system. And when Hitler struck he took over the job of providing powder and shot and related items. Now, stocky, cheerful and 57 years old, he looks ahead. He would build in postwar Canada a nine-point utopia on “the broad basis of agriculture, for­ ests, mines, fisheries and,” be­ lieve it or not, "private enter­ prise.” That makes it a Yankee utopia. That might make it work. T ORD HAILEY, baron of Shapur, Punjab and Newport Pagnell, Bucks, aims to prove Twain was wrong by fixing up the weather. At Somebody’s Going ^ 15J ^y6 He To ‘Do Sometbingf is the head About the IVeafAer a British com m ittee which proposes a series of stations throughout the empire to tell the postwar world, postwar airmen in particular, when to look for rain, hail, snow, heat, clouds and what have you. The baron is just the fellow to take on a job like that and, moreover, to do it up brown. He was for years a singularly com­ petent cog in the singularly com­ petent Indian Civil Service ma­ chine. He entered the service right after coming down from Oxford, Corpus Christi, with hon­ ors. In his heyday he made multitudes of Indian peasants prosperous by building the Jhe- Ium irrigation project. He turned Delhi from a mere pro­ vincial town into the country’s capi­ tal; he rose to be governor of the Punjab and then of Agra and Oudh where he kept civil disobedience a la MahaUna Ganahi under a firm thumb. For these successes he is now handsomely decorated with the sev­ en-rayed star of St. Michael and St. George, the lotus and roses of the order of the Star of India and the only slightly less exalted elephants and peacocks of the Indian Empire. And at the age of 71 he is still full of bounce.

C^AIL RUSSELL hasn’t seen •I her brother George for two and one-half years; he’s a bugler in the army, stationed In Alaska. As she’s been a movie actress less than a year, he’s never seen her on the screen, though her third pic­ ture, “The Uninvited,” is now in the editing stage. So she’s send­ ing him all the glamour art of her­ self that she can lay' her hands on, to prove to him that the spindly- legged junior in Santa Monica high whom he left behind him is really a movie actress now. Dmah Shore’s getting a new dad­ dy—Charles Winnmger of “Show B:>cit’’ fame, who’ll be her father in the new picture, “Bello of tne DINAH SHORE Yukon.” Dinah will sing, Winninger will play a trombone, and Gypsy Rose Lee will—well, she’ll be Gypsy Rose Lee.

S. senate sub­ committee on wartime health and education. They say she was just as delightful there as she is in the picture, especially when telling of her prewar experiences in arrang­ ing country vacations for London’s underprivileged children. Sammy Kaye was the second Hol­ lywood celebrity to back the “Dance With a WAC” program, which origi­ nated with film producer Charles R. Rogers. When Rogers was in Palm Springs on location for “Song of the Open Road” he arranged for the male members of his cast and crew to spend an evening dancing with the air WACs stationed at the army’s desert transport command base. — *— Mischa Auer’s collection of pets is becoming a problem. He had 30 hens and a rooster, and recently re­ ceived two dogs, a Newfoundland and a Yorkshire terrier. Wally Ford gave him the Newfoundland, which weighs about 20(1, and he named it Heddy. The terrier was Mary As- tor’s gift; it weighs a scant 2!6 pounds, and he caUs it Tallulah. “Up in Mabel’s Room” is his current pic­ ture. Joan Davis and Jack Haley of the air waves are dashing from one picture studio to another these days. After Joan’s appearance in “Around the World” RKO signed her for two pictures a year, and she’s also un­ der contract to Paramount for two. Jack HaIey was originally all set for RKO’s “Up in Mabel’s Room.” but had to drop out because of other picture assignments. As chairman of the Malibu ration­ ing board, Warner Baxter took over in the days of sugar distribution; he' stuck through coffee and gasoline, but wanted to resign when he re­ turned to the screen to star in “Lady of the Dark.” He was persuaded to stay, merely appointing a temporary vice chairman, and completed his picture work in time to come back and face the canned goods situation. It’s the way things happen—to some people. The other night “Big Town” Director Jerry McGill went over to see his friend Fred Bethel, the “Here’s to Romance" director, on broadcast night.

SNAPPY FACTS ABOUT RUBBER Crude, or natural, rubber lias been defined as a substance found as liquid latex In many types of trees and plants and being characterized by the physical qualities of stretch, bounce/ and impermeability to water* In 1939 crude rubber was the most important single commodity imported Into the United States on a dollar basis. Gross Imports then were 499,616 long ton* valued a t $178/489,142.

In an endeavor to help his fellow phy­ sicians, m any of whom "are carrying a killing load,” Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Mayo Clinic, in the Journal of the Amer­ ican Medical Asso­ ciation, has som e “diagnostic time- sav ers for over­ worked physicians.” Among these "timesavers” are hints on recognizing functional illnesses. “Good signs of a neurosis are the inability of the patient to say what the main complaint is, a tendency to answer the physician’s questions with statements that have nothing to do with these questions, to com­ plain of little things, to break m and not let the physician finish a sen­ tence, to keep consulting a long writ­ ten list of symptoms, to tremble and weep as the story is told or tell the physician how to diagnose and treat the disease.” There are certain symptoms that practically always mean a neurosis. Symptoms such as jitteriness, the fear of not being able to get a deep breath, fluttering or burning in the abdomen, oft repeated belching, dis­ tress and bloating after eating or especially after drinking cold water or “pop,” attacks of pain and sore­ ness in lower abdomen, together with passage of mucus, distresses that come before breakfast, bloating that comes up during the day and disappears during the night without the passage of flatus (gas), and pains that persist even after several op­ erations. Dr. Alvarez points out that there are some of us who almost from childhood have had one illness after another without any cause that can be found. These illnesses are head­ ache, weak eyes, indigestion, con­ stipation, back-ache, sleeplessness and “aches and pains all over.” “Poor nervous heredity and the con­ tractor’s having put in poor materi­ als are usually the best explanation for these symptoms.” Among the other “illnesses” men­ tioned by Dr. Alvarez as being caused by lack of nervous balance are nervous breakdown, extreme fa­ tigue, food allergy, migraine, stom- ach and intestinal ulcer.. . . Scabies Parasite May Attack Anyone One of the ideas we had as boys at high school was that any boy with blackheads or pimples could not be as clean about his body as he should be. If he would wash his skin with soap and water, and per­ haps use a skin brush, he would remove the blackheads from his “pores” and the skin oil would come out on the surface of the skin. To­ day we know that having pimples and blackheads is not a matter of cleanliness, but is caused by gland changes in the body which interfere with the proper use of certain ldnds of foods, usually fats and starches. Fortunately, acne was not thought due to any lack of intelligence in these students with acne because their class standing was at least equal to that of the class average. In the army, in schools or other institutions, patients suffering with scabies (the itch) have usually been considered of low intelligence despite the fact that there were so many ex­ ceptions. In the British Lancet, Drs. K. Mellanby, A. L. Northedge and C. Johnson report the results of their investigations as to the intelligence of several hundred patients suffering with scabies. The results of this in­ vestigation showed that men with scabies were mentally a normal sam­ ple from the army. There was noth­ ing to suggest that the group suffer­ ing with scabies had a larger per­ centage with low intelligence than those not afflicted with scabies.' “There was no significant differ­ ence in intelligence between men who reported themselves sick, those who were discovered during the reg­ ular or routine physical inspections, those with a few parasites or those with or without infection following an attack of scabies.” From the above we learn that the parasite, the itch mite, the female of which buries itself under the skin, giving the appearance of scratches, makes no special choice as to its victims. The itching is due to sub­ stances given off by the parasites and their eggs.• • * QUESTION BOX Q.—What causes excessive sweat­ ing of the hands?

There were several requisites for recipes which made today’s column and I think you’ll appreciate all of them. First, they must be easy on the budget; second, they must be easy on ration points; and third, they must be leftovers, but incog­ nito! AU three are particularly timely because you have probably splurged during the holi­ days and want to take it easy on points and the budget now; and third, you may h a v e leftovers that want things done with them but still won’t taste like left­ overs because you know how the family sniffs at them. So, here we go, first of all with leftover pieces from that holiday bird:♦Chicken Noodle Loaf. (Serves 8) to I cup diced cooked chicken 3 eggs, well beaten Vi pound noodles 3 tablespoons butter or substitute 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk % teaspoon' salt I cup soft bread crumbs I teaspoon chopped onion I tablespoon chopped parsley Yi teaspoon pepper • Cook noodles in boiling, salted wa­ ter until tender (2 quarts water, I teaspoon salt).

Bake in a moderately slow (325-degree) oven until firm in center, about I hour. Let stand for about 8 minutes after removal from oven, then loos­ en around edges. Invert on hot plat­ ter. Slice to serve. If desired, serve with cheese, mushroom or vegetable sauce. Garnish with pickled pears and spiced prunes. Are there remainders of a veal roast still stand­ ing in the refrig­ erator?

Add seasonings and celery. Cover and cook slowly for 5 minutes, Lynn Says Point Pointers: When you run low on stamps for processed food 3, be sure to find fresh ones to substitute. To extend a proc­ essed food, use it with a fresh, seasonal food. Using foods that are grown near your own community helps the transportation problem, as well as your near-by grower. For rhildren or invalids who use canned, pureed foods, extend by mixing with milk and cream. Use with purees of other vegeta­ bles and fruits. Leftovers can be combined with other foods to use them up; for example, leftover beets can be mixed with onion, vinegar and spices for relish or salad; left­ over corn may be combined with lima beans, carrots or peas. 9ave Used Fats!

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Dismal Italy By Frank Cervasi (WNTJ Feature—Through soecial arrangement with Collier's Weekly> Already the words “sunny Italy” have for the American doughboys of this war the same hollow sound that “La Belle France” had for their fathers in the last one. In terms of rain, mud and misery, Italy has be­ come the France of this war— France, however, without Paris, for the only major city the Allies have captured thus far is Naples, a dark,' sad city. The next big town on the road to victory, Rome, promises only more waterless water closets, and chil­ dren crying for biscuits and sour- balls, and black-market prices spiraling out of an inflation partly influenced by the arbitrary Allied pegging of the lira at one hundred to the dollar, and partly out of an ancient Italian aptitude for gypping foreigners. And nowhere from here to Rome and beyond, is there even a faint promise of a hot bath. Win and Go Home, Ever since they volunteered or were drafted, two thoughts have been uppermost in the minds of the men variously known as doughboys, doughfeet, jeeps, dogfaces and G.I. Joes. The first is to whip the pants off the Germans; and second, but not secondarily, to return home to double features, hamburgers, beer, baseball, girls, families, firesides, and Sunday clothes. A year in North Africa, Sicily, and more particular­ ly, Italy, has accentuated those American desires.That isn’t so completely true among those more highly organ­ ized intellects known as officers. Among them, I have found many who believe that America’s respon­ sibilities go beyond mere victory. But it’s overwhelmingly true among the common soldiers (and I have talked with hundreds of them in and out of battle) in the militarily stag­nant Middle East and on the active fronts in Italy. Here tiiey cry, with one voice: “Let’s get it over with and let’s go home. Let's leave Af­rica to the Arabs, Sicily to the dagos and Italy to (he wops.” Their state of mind is attributable to the fact that, in the broader sense, they don’t know what they are fight­ ing for, and anything beyond the necessity of defeating Germany will be one for the gentlemen in striped pants to contend with when they gather around the green baize ta­ bles to draft plans for the postwar world. In even the most inarticulate Britons, I have found yearnings, however vague, for the creation of world order wherein there shall be peace and justice, and work for all people, so organized that opportu­ nities for tyrants again to raise their heads will be reduced to a safe mini­ mum.Britons Fight Professionally. Here on a front which is roughly half British and half American, it is possible to compare the British attitude toward war and its end, with the American. The British seem to understand war and to fight it almost daily and certainly profes­ sionally. They seem to know that war and politics are inseparable. The Americans fight much as they play football—intensely and enthusi­ astically, but with the sole idea of winning. There’s nothing gay about Americans in battle. They fight dutifully, doggedly, bravely, but ani­ mated solely by the desire to win. The Englishman knows he’s not going to find the same old England when he returns to Limehouse and Leicester Square, and he’s not at all sorry, but rather glad. The Amer­ ican doesn’t want anything changed. To him social progress or change of any kind is synonymous with Communism, and he wants no part of Communism, preferring, as one doughboy put it, as he stood in the blood and muck of the battlefield after he had crossed the Volturno: “At least, under our way, every guy got the same chance of being Presi­ dent. Yeah, sure, it’s dog eat dog, but you’ve got an even chance of being the dog that wins.” None of this is cabled in the spirit of viewing with alarm, bnt merely to set down what constitutes a major problem confronting the architects of peace, a problem which Is draw­ ing closer now with every hard- earned mile of conquered or liberat­ ed Europe. The problem is simply what to do about “I wanna go home.” The mentality of the American sol­ dier and how to fit what that state of mind implies—isolationism—into, for example, the Willkie world is the problem. Unfortunately, although the defeat of Germany is assured, Do'ughfoot or Dogface won’t be able to go home as soon as he would like or, worse still, as quickly as citizens in the United States widely believe. The fall of Rome doesn’t mean that Italy has been conquered. There is the prospect of a long, hard winter fight, and only the disintegration oi Germany, like a flywheel gone wild, will bring victory early in 1944.

NOSE DROB i ' BLACK SOMBREJtO LIFFORD KNIGHT Elsa Chatfiddt Hollywood artist, is cot off from the will of her Aunt Kitty, who died from an overdose-of morphine. Mnwt Rogers, professional sleoth, and Barry Madison, an am ateur detective, go to Mazatlant Mexico, to solve what they believe Co be Kitty Chatfield’s murder. On arrival they find that Elsa’s party had preceded them by plane. Daring a fiesta at Sam Cbatfield’s ranch (Sam is Elsa’s father) tfogers questions the gnests abont the death of Sam’s sister. All have a motive. They go to the court* yard and while watching the dancing Maria announces the death of "dames Chesebro. The Mexican police arrive and examine the body. Death was the result of a knife thrust. CHAPTER X “Why, then, did the others push you forward as if you knew some­ thing?” "I go over the house seeking my pay; they do not have the money in the kitchen, sir. It is for this reason they push me forward.” "So you were wandering about the house, then?” said Lombardo. "What did you see?” "I am walking in a place, sir, which Maria tells me is the passage- way that leads to the room where the gentleman was murdered. There I see a man enter a door, sir, which must be the door to the room. For I have described it well to Maria, sir.” “Who was the man, Pedro?” “That I do not know, sir.” “Was he wearing a sombrero?” “Yes, sir.” “What kind?” “It was large and black. I think It was of felt. The head and shoul­ ders were in shadows, sir, but in the hand he carried a whip.” "Was he Mexican or American, Pedro?” "Sir, I do not know.” “What kind of a whip did he have? You said he carried a whip.” “It was about so long, sir,” and Pedro’s thin brown hands measured a space in air about eighteen inches in length. “It was, I think, what you call a quirt, sir.” “A quirt; so?” Lombardo turned to look meaningly at Alvarez, his eyebrows arched, his lips parted slightly. He turned back to the pulque man. “Do you see among us, Pedro, such a man as you have described? I warn you to be very careful; these are gentlemen.” Pedro’s sharp little eyes, to my alarm, were suddenly upon me; he inspected me carefully, then shifted to Sam Chatiield who sat beside me. Finally he quitted our host’s short figure and moved to Huntoon Rogers. He dismissed him with a glance, then came back to me, as if some doubt lingered in his mind. “I did not see the face, sir,” Pedro reminded Lombardo. Huntoon Rogers spoke for the first time. “It is impossible, Senor Lom­ bardo. Senor Madison was with me when Maria came with the news of the murder.” “And all of the evening, senor?” I answered the question. “No,” I said. “But the remainder of the time I was with either Senor Rum­ ble, or Senorita Chatfield.” “Yes, of course,” said Lombardo. "Pedro is wrong.” He waved the pulque man away abruptly, saying sternly, “It is enough, Pedro; you are mistaken about this man.” He pointed to me. “Do not make any more mistakes.” “Yes, sir,” replied Pedro, spring­ ing up from the chair and vanish­ ing in the shadows near the door. “The quirt,” Lombaixio said, “I do not understand. Was it the pur­ pose to whip the victim and then kill him? The lashes on the face, Miguel, were they made so recent­ ly?” he turned to Doctor Cruz. “They were made much earlier, Otilio.” “How did he get them? Did the one who gave them to him return, and this time kill him with a knife?” No one answered the questions. “Is there anyone else among the servants whom you wish to inter­ rogate?” inquired our host. “No, sir, I am interested now in other things.” “Come this way, then,” said Sam Chatfield, leading us from the kitch­ en. An atmosphere of gloom seemed to pervade the huge living room when we entered. Margaret and Dwight Nichols sat with Berta, talk­ ing quietly. Elsa and Reed Barton had withdrawn to a shadowy cor­ ner. George Riunble sat on the bench of the grand piano smoking. “I think,” began Sam Chatfield hesitantly, “that Senor Lombardo has a few questions to ask." “Only a very few, ladies and gen­ tlemen,” Lombardo said, bowing courteously. “The Senorita,” and his eyes sought out Elsa in the background, "if I may, please; I wish to ask of her a question.” Elsa moved forward, still, wearing the colorful costume in which she had danced with Reed Barton, and stood before Lombardo. “A thousand pardons, senorita,” began Lombardo, yielding to an ob­ vious embarrassment that swept over him. “I ask the question; Have you worn the costume of the China Poblana all evening?” “Yes, of course,” EIsa replied, somewhat puzzled. “I put it on at dusk.” “Then you cannot be the one," said Lombardo. George Rumble got up from his seat on the piano bench. He walked over to Lombardo. “Elsa is out of it; you can’t tangle her in this thing. And all I want to say is what about a sombrero? I notice mine is missing from the rack near the front door. I don’t accuse anybody of stealing it, you under­ stand; but what about a sombrero?” Lombardo turned to Alvarez and said in Spanish, “Fetch the sombre­ ro from the room, please." He turned back to Rumble. “In a mo­ ment, Senor Rumble, I will show you the sombrero I speak of.” Alvarez returned promptly with the black felt sombrero. “Do you recognize the sombrero, senor?” Lombardo inquired, holding it out to Rumble. “Sure. It’s my hat. A while ago when I was out that way I missed it.” Rogers answered. “We found it in the room where Chesebro was mur­ dered.” A curious expression came over Rumble’s face; the dark eyes seemed to grow darker. As he stood there before us the chief of police conceived an idea; it was first observable in a narrowing of his large dark eyes, a cocking ‘‘But what do you know about the death of the gentleman in the big room?” of his round head. He summoned Alvarez with a lift of his chin and said in Spanish, “The pulque man who is called Pedro; bring him here at once, Luis,” and he indicated a spot on the floor directly in front of him with a down turned thumb as the place to which he desired the pulque man to be brought. Alvarez vanished and the occu­ pants of the room relaxed. Ciga­ rettes were passed and a nervous attempt at light conversation was made by Berta while we waited for the return of the pulque man. She was smiling and almost gay, al­ though in the depths of her dark eyes there was a look of fear. We had not long to wait, however, for Alvarez soon returned, clutching the frightened Pedro by a thin arm. “It is lucky for you, Pedro, that you are still here,” began Lombar­ do. “I have more questions to ask you.” “I am here, sir,” replied the man, “because I have not yet received the money for my pulque.” Lombardo ignored the frank state­ ment, and requested the man to look about him. “Here are other persons, Pedro,” he directed. “Look closely, and tell me if any of these others is the man you saw wearing the sombrero and carrying the whip. Make no mistakes.” Pedro did as he was bidden, but shyly and with evident embarrass­ ment. Dwight Nichols stood up the better to be viewed, and he pulled George Rumble by the sleeve to line him up alongside himself and Reed Barton. “I see only the back, sir; I do not see the face,” he repeated. Lombardo was patient. He picked up Rumble’s black sombrero from a chair where it rested and held it out to Pedro. “Is this the sombrero the man wore?” he asked. Pedro put his hands behind him and shook his head. “I saw only the back, sir,” he repeated, monotonous- iy- Lombardo had an idea. “We will go to the place where you saw the man, Pedro,” he announced. “The gentlemen in turn will put on the sombrero, and carry the whip, and you will say which, if any, looks like the man you saw. Where is the whip?” ‘There’s a whip there on the ta­ ble under my hat,” Elsa remarked casually. “One I’ve carried with me riding.” She indicated a table against the wall near the door. Al­ varez went to the table and brought back a quirt I recognized as the one Elsa had used that morning in her W.N.U. S E a v i c a savage attack upon Chesebro. Lom­ bardo took it. “Yours?” he asked, gesturing to­ ward Elsa. “No; .not mine. It belongs here on the rancho. I found it, when I wanted a whip, on the rack outside where the hats hang.” “Ah, so?” Lombardo turned the quirt about in his hands, examining it. It interested Lombardo who stud­ ied it for a moment. Finally and without releasing his hold he held it out toward Pedro. “Is this the whip you saw, Pedro?” The pulque man took one quick, fascinated glance, then looked away. “I do not know, sir; there was a whip in the hand.” “Come; the gentlemen, please; the ladies, no. Follow me.” Lom­ bardo spoke quickly. He led the way toward the somber room where the body of Chesebro still lay in its huge mound within the dim pool of can­ dlelight. “Where were you when you saw the man enter the room?” Lom­ bardo demanded. “I am here, sir,” he answered, pointing with a trembling finger to a tall piece of furniture against the wall. “I hear the man coming, and I feel I have trespassed where I should not go. So I conceal my­ self there and wait for him to pass.” “Very well, Pedro; you stand there now, and one of the gentlemen will put on the sombrero and carry the whip and walk past you.” “I did not see the face, sir; I see only the back,” the pulque man re­ minded him as he took his station. “Now, which of you will be the first?” Lombardo asked, ignoring the man’s remark. Reed Barton stepped forward, still dressed in the costume of the Char- ro, except for his own sombrero which he had left arrjong the others on the rack near the front door. “Ah, so? Thank you, sir.” Lom­ bardo gave him Rumble’s hat, which Reed set atop his head, greatly in­ creasing the height of his tall figure. “Now the whip,” said Lombardo, and that was given him. “And now, Pedro, the gentleman comes from this direction and walks to the door, opens it and enters, is it not so?” “Yes, sir.” Reed withdrew and began a slow but steady walk down the dim pas­ sageway to the door behind which lay the body of the murdered man. I drew back against the wall beside Rogers, whose body was crowded close against mine. I felt a tense­ ness in his muscles and realized with what extraordinary alertness his. eyes followed the tall figure of Reed Barton as he re-enacted the dread prologue to the death of Chesebro. Slowly, inevitably, he ap­ proached the door to the room. Rog­ ers had become so intent upon this re-enactment that he was drawn a few steps after him, studying the figure, his every action and move­ ment. As Reed touched the door­ knob, when we all were intent upon this last act before we should turn to demand of the pulque man his verdict, there was a sudden rustling sound behind us. It was followed by a rapid shuffle of feet in loose guaraches, and before our aston­ ished gaze as we turned, Pedro, the pulque man, was running away as fast as his thin legs could carry him. Nor did we find him later that night after the police had taken their departure, their questions exhaust­ ed, their plan of re-enactment of the murder scene abruptly ended by the departure of Pedro, although, direct­ ed by Sam Chatfield, we searched diligently. There was an old moon. The others at last had scattered. Only Huntoon Rogers and I lingered in the patio. “What do you make of it, Hunt?” I inquired, meaning the night’s trag­ ic happening and the comic opera exit of the star witness. He was slow to reply. At last he said: “Did you see the whip at any time during Reed’s walk down the dim passageway? He carried it in his hand, you know.” “I saw him take the whip.” “But did you see it in his hand as he walked?” “No.” “Does that not strike you as inter­ esting?” “It means much, I think; it ex­ plains what has happened. In the kitchen when Pedro described the appearance of Chesebro’s murderer, he put the whip in his hand. Pedro took his stand at the spot where he says he observed the death march so to speak. But the whip is mx visible carried quietly at the side. “Therefore, Barry, it is simple to reason that Pedro either lied when he said the man carried a whip, or ho saw him elsewhere in the house a* a time and place where the whip wa* plainly visible.” We sat together in the patio turn ing over the possibilities that lay close to the fact, the corollaries that might flow from it. Did Pedr- therefore, also hold the secret of that other murder far to the north «•* us in California and distant now in time by more than a year? Finally I said what was in my thoughts. “Reed Barton?” Huntoon Rogers did not reply at once. He leaned forward on the bench, his hands upon his knees staring into the shadows at our feel (TO BE CONTINUED) --------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I C H O O L L esson By HAKOleD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.O i1 The Moody Bible Institute of Chlcaeot Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for January 16 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission* JESUS ANSWERS HIS CRITICS LESSON TEXT-M ark 2:23-3:6. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are ye. when men shall revile you, and persecute you. and shall say all manner of evil agalnsf you falsely, for my sake.—Matthew 5:11. Criticism and opposition was the constant lot of our Lord as He gave ‘ Himself in His labor of love for man­ kind. It follows His disciples to this day, for men seem to have not only ingratitude, but an evil spirit which rewards kindness with hard words and unjust accusation. The scribes and Pharisees had al­ ready found ground for their com­ plaint, for He had eaten “with pub­ licans and sinners”, (2:16). The fact that He went there to win Matthew and to heal the sinsiek (2:17) made no difference. Then they wanted to know why His disciples did not ob­ serve a fast (2:1&) in the solemn way they should. How could they, when the Lord was in their midst? They were joyful. In our lesson we find these hating, watching enemies of our Lord’s showing their bitterness in two ways. I. Open Accusation (2:23-28). They got at Him this tune through His beloved disciples. It was the indirect approach so often used by cowardly people who want to hurt someone, but who dare not face him squarely. They spread evil reports or unkind criticism about a loved one, and thus wound the one they hate. Their accusation was, however, in a sense a direct one. They claimed that He was the one who had per­ mitted His disciples to violate the Sabbath law by plucking and rub­ bing the ears of corn to prepare them, to be eaten. In other words, He had allowed them to do a secular thing on a sacred day and thus to violate the holiness of the Sabbath. What they did was not wrong, but they did it on the wrong day, said these critics. Jesus met the charge by reaffirm­ ing the high viewpoint of God con­ cerning man. We have lowered our conception of man’s position, while at the same time exalting his unde­ pendable judgment. Everything that concerns man is sacred in the sight of God. Hunger is natural, God made man that way. He gets hungry on the Sabbath day, so he must have food on that day. The Sabbath was made to serve him, and he must not be harmed or hin­ dered by his servant. Now, someone will say: “That means I can do what I like on the Sabbath—or the Lord’s Day.” No, it does not. What you need is right. What you desire may not be. You are more than an animal, ,so you must have more than physical rest and recreation on Sunday. You are more than a mental being, hence you need more than culture—read­ ing, music or friendship on that day. You are a spiritual being and must have fellowship with God. See how nicely it all balances up when we go God’s way. Then noth­ ing that concerns us is common or secular. It is all sacred. II. SUent Hatred (3:1-6). Open criticism is bad, but it be­ comes worse when it is hidden • in the heart of a watching man (v. 2), one who looks for his opportunity to strike. The scene is a most dramatic one. Jesus came into the synagogue on the Sabbath day as was His cus­ tom. (By the way, is it your cus­ tom to go to church on Sunday?) “In that synagogue was a man with a withered hand. Here occurs one of those incidental things, which are so full of beauty in these narratives. Seeking to find accusation against Him, His enemies nevertheless all unconsciously paid Him a supreme compliment. They associated Him immediately, not with the chief seat of the synagogue, but with the most needy man in the crowd.” “They watched Him" (v. 2). The air was full of silent, malicious, cun­ ning hatred. Jesus faced them with an alternative so high, so holy and exacting that they dared not speak. He pointed out that we either do good or harm, heal or kill, by our response to a human need. It can­ not be ignored. What would they do with it? • Keep their strict man- made regulations, or honor God by helping a needy one on the Sabbath? They dared not answer. Then He healed the man. He did not touch him. He did not do any work, except a miraculous healing. But it was enough. The Herodians and the Pharisees, who hated each other, now became friends because they both hated Jesus. What- an awful picture of what may be in the human heart, even in the Lord’s house on the day of wor­ ship. What was hi your heart when you last went into the church? Love and a desire for the good of your neighbor, or hatred and malice? Here again our Lord declared the dignity of man in the plan of God, and placed his need above the keep ing of a day. We are too little in­ terested in ffle help we can give, cno too fearful of the criticism of others. SEWiNG CIRCLE W I 35 or 39-inch material. 1% yards macMnfe made pleating.

Wants Japs to Teach Farmers How|to Bathe A slur aimed atfeverv American farmer came to light recently when it w s disclosed that the” War Re. location An'hority, set up by Pre- sident Roosevelt, urged interned Japanese to take jobs on farms in mid West states in order to teach Americans lessons in sanitation. On December 5, 1943, almost exactly two years aftergtbe attack on Pearl Harbor, Washington news, papers featured t h e astounding story of bow a NewJDeal pnblica tion, Mid-West Frontiers, publish ed at taxpayers' expense by the WRA, addressed the Japs in these words: “Believe it or not, some few ten­ ants and seasonal workers in (Ohio and MicbiganJ do not bathe! Thev think it is unhealthy. We need you people to change onr ideas a bout this. You bave a lesson to teach Ohio and Michigan farmers in sanitation. It is a contribution you can make to our way of living.” Many Congressmen immediately apologized to tbe patriotic farmers for this slur against them. This disclosure came as a climax to reports of poor management, wasteful administrative practices and excessive pay roil padding by the WarJRelocation Authority, a New Deal agency. • On December 7, 1941. all of the 110.000 Japanese in the United Slates naturally were suspected, al­ though doubtless some were loyal to this country, and the Army moved them into inland camps where tbe Japs were kept nnder strict surveillance. No trouble was recorded as long as tbe Army bad charge of Japs, but on March 18, 1942, President Roosevelt set un the' "War Relocation Authority,” without consulting Congress. A typical New Dealer, Dillon Mver, was made-director of the new bureau, which bas more than 2.000 employees (550 iu Washing, ton) and has obtained over $120, 000,000 from Congress Despite these enormous expenditures, the WRA has arrived at no successful formula for the interned Japanese. Washington was astounded more than a year ago with reports that a year ago with reports that a Jap anese association w as working closely with WRA to have Japa nese “freed” from tbe camps A little later, Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes hired some of the Japs for work on bis farm. Other Government administrators follow­ ed suit. Still later came a well-organized move, originating in tbe WRA, to move ail the interned japs back to their W’est coast homes, but this met opposition from General Em- tnons, who later was relieved of his West Coast Command by the War Department. A Democratic Congressman told the nation recently tbe true story of Japanese riots at tbe Tula Lake Relocation Center in California and aceused the present political Ad­ ministration of mismanagement and of coddling tbe Japanese. Reports still circulate in Wash ington that tbe Japanese get thick steaks and other delicacies denied to tbe “common man" and that huge quantities of war rationed tood, some of it unobtainable by Americans with or without ration stamps, was stored in a Japanese relocation units in Wyoming, with Jap internees hiding these food­ stuffs in attics and In some in­ stances exchanging ration commo­ dities, such as hams, bacon and canned goods for whiskey.

They have apparently suf. fered no ill effects from 24 to 36- bour fox hunts, all night opossum bunting ventures, long gruelling games, etc., and they are able to hold up their end of arduous daily tasks in business or industry. All of which bas led to the rum­ or that some of the rejectees have outwitted army doctors bv “doping up” in some way jost before leav­ ing for induction centers. There may be no word of truth in this rumor, but the fact that the Army has accepted for service many young men whose physical defects were obvions even to the nonmedical ob­ server while quite a few young men whose ’ defects” bave never been apparent to acquaintances bave been apparent 10 acquaintances bave been rejected, raises the ques- tions whether the army authorities should not keep all draftees in camp for several days before giving their final examination. If this were done, tbe effects of any drinking or “doping” would wear off in time for the doctors to obtain a ful­ ly accurate check on tbe physical condition of wouldbe draft evaders. If there has been little or no ef fort to ontwit Army doctors, tbe goiug plan would work to the ad­ vantage of rejectees also by showing tbat they were blameless Wben doctors are not quite sure wbat is the matter with a patient they bave him confined to the hos­ pital for a few days for “observa­ tion.” Why should not tbe same plan be followed in connection witb Army inductees sent to the centers by local draft boards, especially now since the large transfer of men overseas evidently has left the va­ rious camps and training centers much less crowded?—Winston Sa­ lem Journal.

RepabIicanB Will Battle Seen Along M au Street For Lower Taxes Represents'ive Knutson, well known Republicans will advocate reduced taxes ‘‘all along the line” —for both eorporations and indi­ viduals—as a postwar goal, if they win control of Congress this year. In an end-of-the-year interview, he declbred also that Congress must pass regulatory legislation to “stag­ ger” repayment of war bonds when victory comes to insure their order­ ly liquidation and to prevent “eco­ nomic chaos and uncontrolled in flation.” The Minnesota member of the revenue raising committee frankly that the Republican tax assess meats depended upon victory in Europe and resultant reduced tnili- tarv expenditures “Peacetime production he said, “could not stand up under tbe pre­ sent tax load. Taxes now are as high as the traffic will bear. On a per capita basis, tbe people of this country are paying more than those anywhere else in the world. “ We did not attain our present economic system and uusurpassed industrial achievements by stifling the profat incentive. Continuation of the present taxes in peacetime would seriousiv impair the whole economic structure and lower our living standards to those of post­ war Europe.” Knutson conceded tbat a demand may arise after the war for repeal of provisions in the 1942 revenue act designed to expedite industrial reconversion to civilian production by granting refunds and tax read- iustments in event of losses Specifically, those provisions call for a 10 per cent refund of the war­ time excess profits tax levy, a 'carry-back” clause permitting in­ dustries to offset partially their im. mediate postwar losses against the two previous year excess profits tax, and tax benefits for concerns forced to liquidate tbeir inventories bv demands of war. Asserting tbat “huge spending” would not end witb the war and that “costly readjustments” would be necessary, Knutson said, how ever, that refunds t 'a industry sbonld be earmarked for the costs of reconversion and labor costs.

CHAPTER XI “It’s a nice little puzzle so far, Barry,” observed Rogers. “We’li not solve it tonight—probably not to­ morrow. It can very quickly be solved if Lombardo and his man Friday will catch up with Pedro. Suppose we sleep on it.” We did sleep on it, rocking gen­ tly in our stateroom on board the Orizaba anchored in the harbor. In the light of a new day, after a lei­ surely breakfast with Margaret and Dwight, at which time we spoke softly and with respect for the now murdered James Chesebro, we wait­ ed for the launch to take us ashore. Suddenly Dwight’s body stiffened. "Look! Did you see that?” he cried. “Look!” Before our eyes some hundreds of yards away a huge fish leaped clear of tfie water and then fell back with a great splash. "There’s your marlin, darling," B aiil Margaret sweetly, “come to play with you.” “Let’s go fishing now.” Dwight’s voice was excited. “Come on, fel­ lows.” ‘ Sorry,” said Rogers. “I’d planned some other things—about Chesebro’s slayer.” “Well, go on, then; the launch is waiting for you. As soon as it’s back I’m going after that fellow. Hunting me up, is he? Wanting to play with me?” said Dwight as Rog­ ers and I went down the ladder. We landed at the wharf, found one of those ancient two-wheeled aranas like the one Elsa had ridden in that first day, climbed in and set off. “It’s probably like hunting for the needle in the haystack, Barry,” he remarked, after an extended con­ versation with the driver which ex­ plored the fellow’s acquaintances among the pulque sellers. At first the driver, a sleepy-eyed fellow with a bushy mustache, had not been able to comprehend why we should search for a pulque seller when liq­ uor of many kinds was easily ob­ tainable almost anywhere. When he realized, however, that we were looking for a particular dealer in pulque, he believed that he knew several Pedros. And so we started out. We stopped at one thatched hut which our driver said was the home of Pedro, the pulque seller. But the man who answered Rogers’ sum­ mons was fat and small, with a smile that was well nigh irresistible. Did we wish to buy pulque? He in­ dicated a nearby contrivance which was just a frame on wheels with holes for the brown clay jars. No, we did not. We sought Pedro, the pulque seller, who was a thin man with small eyes. fvHe knew such a man farther down the street, and counted the houses for us and bade us a courteous good morning. But the second Pedro was not our pulque man, either. At last our dispirited horse pulled up with a sigh before a thatched hut near the end of the street. A small shy woman came to the door when Rogers knocked. “Does Pedro, the pulque seller, live here, senora?” Rogers inquired in Spanish. “Yes, sir,” the woman replied hes­ itantly, a frightened look in her deep, dark eyes. "Is he Pedro, the pulque seller, who last evening went to deliver pulque at the rancho of Senor Chat­ field?” “Yes, sir.” “May we speak with Pedro, se­ nora?” inquired Rogers, smiling. The woman shook her head vague­ ly. Finally she said: “He is not at home, sir.” “Where can I find him?” “He. is away, sir.” ■“When will he return?” The, woman shook her head and did hot reply. "He is away, sir,” she repeated. We were getting nowhere. Rog­ ers suddenly looked up at the little green parrot overhead, held up a forefinger invitingly against the green breast and the parrot prompt­ ly climbed on and was lowered to the level of our eyes. “What is he called, senora?” Rog­ ers asked. “He is called Pepe, sir." “He is not a young bird, senora, the yellow patch of feathers on his head is large. It is, like gray hair with us, a sign of age.” “Yes, sir; he is very old.” "Did your husband return home last night from his trip to the rancho of Senor Chatfield?” "Briefly, sir; and then made haste to depart.” “Did he go far, senora?” “To the mountains, sir,” she re­ plied, with a gesture that indicated the distant range. "And he will return soon?” The woman shook her head. “He Is away, sir. I do not know when he will return.” A man was lurking inside the house as we talked, just beyond our view. I had heard him and so had Rogers. At last overcome by curi­ osity he appeared suddenly behind the woman in the doorway. It was not, however, Pedro as I suspected, but a man whose face was familiar. Rogers glanced at him. "Good morning,” he said and smiled. The man returned the greet­ ing hesitantly. "My brother, Jose,” the woman said. ■“And did the old dog die, senor?” inquired Rogers. I recognized then the individual who the morning of Elsa’s attack on Chesebro was put- ting to death with chloroform an old dog near the st&Mes. “Oh, yes, sir. Quickly, as you said he would.” . “Senor,” began Rogers, “the chloroform—tell me again who gave it to you.” “Senora Chatfield, sir.*' “Senora Chatfield?” "Yes. She of the golden hair—” Rogers suddenly elevated Pcpe to the thatch of the roof where with a flutter of wings and wildly clutching feet he re-established himself, wheeled about to stare down at us with his wicked little eyes and ut- SllrWhat is he called, senora?” ter a squawk of pleasure. We pre­ pared to take our departure; Rogers bowed and smiled. “I wish your husband a safe jour­ ney, senora, and a speedy return,” he said, and .we withdrew to our arana, tagged by the still silent chil­ dren, while the pulque seller’s wife stood in the doorway of the hut to observe our departure. We had jogged along for some dis­ tance in the direction of the busi­ ness district when I remarked, “Some grist for the mill there.” “Yes, Barry. There is confirma­ tion of the conclusion we reached last night. Pedro ran out on us at Sam Chatfield’s, hurried home, re­ mained briefly and then Bed to the mountains for an indefinite stay. He carried with him the belief that he not only saw the murderer of Chese­ bro, but can identify him. He fears the consequences if he is made to identify him.” “You’re right, of course,” I sighed. .“But where does that leave us, Hunt?” “It leaves us with a simple ex­ planation of the crime—when Pedro is captured and returned to Mazat- lan. To the jefe del policia, Senor Otilio Lombardo, will fall the honor of solving the murder of Kitty Chat­ field, as well as that of Chesebro, when his men bring in Pedro.” “But there’s no evidence that the two were done by the same hand.” “No,” admitted Rogers, as we drove along the shady streets, “there is no evidence of it; there’s only a hunch on my part, and a very, very faint hunch at that. Per­ haps no more than a wish that it be so. Simplify things enormously, wouldn’t it, Barry?” he said, look­ ing at me with_ a twinkle in his mild blue eyes. '“Let’s go and talk with Lombardo and urge upon him our belief, and perhaps spur him on to greater effort in bringing back Pedro.” He turned to the driver and said in Spanish: “Senor, take us, please, to the police station.” Rogers asked for Lombardo at a small desk, and the courteous occu­ pant assured us that we should see the jefe at once. But it was some ten minutes before we were «hown into a small room where LomVrdo sat alone. “We came,” Rogers said slowly, “only to offer what help you think we can give toward the solution of the murder of our friend, James Chesebro.” “That is very kind of you, gentle­ men.” W.M.U. tERVICE “Our opinion, reached after con­ siderable reflection, senor, is that it is vital to capture Pedro, the pulque seller, who fled last night when we were about to require him to identify the slayer.” “Yes, of course.’* “Undoubtedly Pedro knows who the slayer is.” “I believe so, gentlemen.” “We understand that he fled last night to the mountains.” “Ah, so?” Lombardo’s eyebrows shot upward. “You know that too?” "Yes, from the man’s wife. You of course, have questioned her?” “Of a certainty, senor. Already the order has been given to bring the man back from the mountains ” “It would be helpful, gentlemen,” he said carefully, “if you could pro­ vide us with additional: motives to be put with those we already have when it comes to the trial.” “You—” he began hesitantly. “Is it possible you have reached a de­ cision, senor?” “We have made the arrest, this morning. The murderer is now in custody, gentlemen. I would appre­ ciate it if you could supply, perhaps, additional motives, although what we have are ample, I am sure.” We both were silent, stunned a little at this announcement of an ar­ rest in the case so early, beforo even Pedro had been, returned to Maza tlan. "May we ask, senor—’* began Rogers. “Of coarse,” Lombardo replied, his white even teeth showing in a magnificent smile. “I have arrest, ed Senor Reed Barton—” “Barton!” I exclaimed, “Yes, Senor Madison. It was not difficult to discover the fact that he is guilty. There was the testimony of Pedro last night; not testimony in so many words, gentlemen, but by his actions. He was terrified of hav­ ing to identify the murderer who was at the moment re-enacting th» role before our eyes.” “But—” Rogers attempted to pro­ test. Lombardo ignored tfoe effor» courteously. “Moreover, senores, yesterday Se­ nor Barton and Senor Chesebro quarreled violently in the office of the mining company. Senor Barton was discharged; there were threats exchanged. The quarrel was over Senorita Chatfield. AU this has been told us by Senor Costillo, the clerk in the office, who was a witness.” Reed Barton was sitting in hia cell smoking a cigarette with the air of one upon whom has descended a vast and philosophic calm. His dark blue eyes indicated that there had been no strain, no loss of sleep. His handclasp through the bars of his cell was vigorous and warm, and he looked at us with a faint expres sion of amusement at our concern for his predicament. “I didn’t dream, Reed,” I said, “when we parted at Sam Chatfield’s last night, that we would find you here this morning.” “Neither did I, Barry. Mexico not only is a land of romance, but, in the threadbare observation, anything can happen in it.” “And does, apparently,” re­ marked Huntoon Rogers, a wry twist to his lips. “I’m sorry that this has happened, Reed. It is much too soon to make an arrest.” We spoke in English, to which the guard lounging near by paid no attention. “When were you arrested, Reed?” I inquired. “At the very moment when I was sleeping my best, just before sun­ rise. They came knocking on my door, made me dress and brought me here.” “But they haven’t anything in the way of evidence that a good attor­ ney couldn’t shoot holes through—aj least, back home it wouM be so,’’ I said. Reed cocked his head and looked at me. “This is different, Barry,” he remarked. "I don’t know what they’ve got. Except for one thing— the police picked Jip a paper knife in my room while I was dressing. It seemed to have its effect.” “Yes, it was a small, thin-Maded weapon that killed Chesebro. But there’s more than that, of course,'* Rogers explained. “Lombardc seems to have been swayed a great deal by what a clerk in your office told about you and Chesebro quar­ reling.” "Costillo?” said Reed. “He Wouldl of course. We did have quite a go— the Chief and I. I guess I told you about it, Barry. We unloaded every­ thing we had been storing up for each other for several months. Chiefly concerning Elsa, you know; but, even if I do say it, he rathei started talking about Elsa. Down here, of course, things like tba] amount to fighting words.” Steps along the corridor interrupt­ ed our conversation; the guard sal more erect in his chair and shot a glance at us as if he meditated bringing our conference to a halt. Walking rapidly around the cornet came the short, rather thick figure of Sam Chatfield. He saw us stand­ ing outside Reed Barton’s cell and came directly toward us, a smila lighting his rather serious face, (TO BE CONTINUED) Now Is Time When Fancy Turns To Thoughts of a New Blouse By CHERIE NICHOLAS SOTS I r V -f. TF THE usual January lull that fol- * lows after the excitement of’the holidays is gripping you, here’s how to work a perfect cure—go blouse shopping! All signs point to the big­ gest blouse season ever this spring. The better part of wisdom is to make your selections early so you will get first pick before the choicest selections are depleted. Please don’t think that the mis­ sion of a blouse is merely to play accompaniment to the suit, for when it comes to important style news one of the outstanding themes for now and the months to follow is the blouse-dress. For these smart two- piece dresses not only is the blouse teamed with a dirndl or, if you pre­ fer, a slim-silhouetted skirt for day­ time wear, but the formal evening mode makes much of costumes that combine a floor-length sheathlike skirt of rich rayon crepe or elegant velvet with a gorgeous blouse. This new favorite of fashion, the separate top for evening wear, pro­ vides a lovely way to stretch your dress-up wardrobe. The blouse cen­ tered in the illustration presents a striking use of glitter trim on the blouse that is otherwise strictly tai­ lored. This handsome dinner-blouse of snowy ribbed rayon crepe has dec­ orative Chinese characters done in gilt -and crystal beading on the square breast pocket and on each of the self-fabric covered buttons. This unusual blouse bespeaks arresting style distinction. For refreshing appeal at this time of the year it’s the gay print blouse that "steals the show.” The impor­ tance of prints for the blouse is be­ ing acclaimed throughout advance spring fashion news. The delightful model to the left is typical of that which is to be. For this charming Buttons in New Role Buttons used as hair ornaments and as fine jewelry bespeak a de­ parture from the strictly iitilitarian use ascribed to them in yester years. Fashion's newest novelty is the rib­ bon necklet originated by Mainboch- er to gracefully break the long throat line of milady when she wears the new low-cut frocks. It is a fashion that will go to many parties and opera scenes this year. The neck­ let pictured is easily fashioned by nimble fingers. Instead of a glit­ tering jewel a beautiful silver button (silver jewelry is smart this season) is set in the heart of the bow. The lady also deftly anchors with the aid of bobby pins two silver button origi­ nals into her hair-do. It’s a pret­ ty fashion and one easy to duplicate. You can get silver buttons at. the regular button counter that are as handsome as real jewelry.. little afternoon costume both blouse and skirt feature the new drawstring styling. For the skirt the designer uses fine rayon crepe in solid black, accenting its modishness with a deft drawstring treatment at the waist­ line. The flattering blouse, so sweet­ ly feminine with its fluffy-ruffles, is done in brilliant floral-print rayon crepe. Drawstrings gather the long sleeves in at the wrist and a soft self-fabric bow decorating the V-neckline stresses the importance of the bow-tie blouse for spring. To wear with skirts or slacks in the daytime or for dinner and loung­ ing, a blouse of novelty ribbed rayon crepe in a brilliant rose gives utmost flattery, especially if it be styled aft­ er the manner of the blouse pictured to the right. The graceful cascad­ ing of the soft-falling iabot collar is in accord with newest styling trends. Take particular notice of the cuffs, for their long tab effect interprets a decidedly new technique which does away with the severity of a tight-buttoned wrist band. A high built belted-in front line distin­ guishes the trim military slacks which place rose-colored grosgrair. ribbon stripes at each side seam. Smooth tailored spun rayon and wool in a smart herringbone weave is used for the slacks. There is a luxury look about manj of the new blouses that fs very eye- appealing due to a great extent to the charm and loveliness of the new output of rayon-weave materials. These pretty fabrics are so easily available this year and they include a vast variety, from the very prac­ tical white crepes that come out white as ever after each tubbing to the most formal types of velvets, brocades, taffetas and crepes in fashionable costume colors. Many of the smartest blouses are made of rayon jersey and the midwinter dis­ plays include lovely dressy types of rayon lace in black, white and colors. Beleased by Westetn Newspaper Union. Luxury Lace Blouses Staging Revival In this season, noted for its gala blouses, the revival of luxury lace blouses is a natural sequence. The new models are all delightfully frilly with lace jabots and rufilings and lace bows, also rosettes made of lace. The call for snow white ac cents with black brings the pure white Iaca blouse into prominence. Some of these are enhanced with glit­ tering rhinestone buttons. Others look the part of elegant simplicity with their large white pearl-bead but­ tons. One pretty lace blouse has a huge rose corsage, fashioned of pet­ als cut out of the lace, each hug-; petal picoted around the edge. The big sensation is the blouse of ex­ quisitely sheer black lace, you can’t get it too sheer to suit Dame Fash­ ion. The sheerer the more flattering is the prevailing sentiment. Some of the black lace beauties have tiny cap sleeves and devastating sweet­ heart or square necklines. Others equally as smart are long-sieeved tc the wrist, where their slender close- fitting lines suddenly burst out into a wide flare of lace frill,. Designers Are Using Mach Black Lace for Edgings Among the most attractive on *he "little black dress” list is the type that is distinguished with exquisitely simple styling, placing the empha­ sis on the new slender silhouette. With these adorable black crepe frocks come matching long-sleeve boleros. Comes the feminine touch in way of tiny edgings of black lace, finishing off neckline, skirl hemline, the short cap sleeves of the dress and the long fitted sleeves of the bolero, also traversing the little bolero about its entire outline.

From A Davie Soldier Camn Barkelevl Texas, Jan. 7, Dear Mr Stroud:—Guess lots of boys have gone to the army from Davis in the last year. I run into one now aud then. I am the only North Caiolina boy in my Com pany. Most all are from the East. We have been in Texas five weeks. Don’t know how long we will stay here I had rather be in Kentucky or Tennessee. For the first time in mv life I can stand in mnd tip to my knees and get dust in my eyes. Snre is some country—in fact it is all country. The towns are from 60 to 100 miles apart. The weather is good—not so cold, and some days like summer I am; still handling groceries but not the way I wonld like to. I hope to see you in about eight months if the war is over by then.

Monroe Draaghn, son of Mrs. MarthaE Draugn, R.2 Mocks ville, N C . was a member of a sol unteer infantry patrol that destroy­ ed tons of Japanese ammunition and supplies on a remote Nnw Georgia island a n d escaped unscathed through an enemy night raid Here's the heroic story, told by an Army observer jnst returned from the Southwest Pacific and released by the War Department today. When native scouts reported a Japanese radio station on nearby Jap-held Gsnongga Island, Pvt. Draughn and four other infantry men oflered to wipe it out. They made the hazardous boat trip across the straits from their base on Vella Lavella at night, ac­ companied by six natives. Pushing their way through thick jungle un­ dergrowth. they reached the village where the transmitting station t supposed to be shortly before noon. There, in a shack in the mouth of a cave they surprised a group of Japanese soldiers cooking dihner. Though two os the Japs were woun­ ded, all of them escaped throagh the rear of the cave. Themselves unhurt, the patrol searched the area, found instead of a radio installation, a complete ene my supply depet filled with rations, blankets, ammunition, rifles and dy­ namite. And on the shore was a Chinese jonk similarly loaded. The infantrymen took all the dy­ namite. with it destroyed everv bit of tne equipment and the ship, then! let out for Vella Lavella, their mis- sion accomplished. j On the stornrv >rip back in the darkness.

J - P atter-T ook Radroadtng By Mail as a Call Boy; Heads ICC tion system and its problems in war or peace from the ground up. He began studying them nearly half a century ago as a call boy. Patterson became an ICC member in 1939, bnt he has been on its payroll for 30 years. He was hired as an inspector of ap­ pliances in 1914 when there was a considerable stir about safety. . The job expanded until a score of years later it tamed into the assistant directorship of the commission’s bureau of safety. Next Patterson went onto the mechanical advisory committee of the federal coordinator of transportation. Finally member­ ship on the commission itself came from President Roosevelt. Patterson made his first connec­ tion with a railroad in Neenah, Wis. He was born there, where the Fox Indians used to hunt and do a lot of fighting, only seven years after the town was founded. A little while as a call boy made him want a better job. Correspondence courses were new then, and well recommended for kids who couldn’t get other schooling, so he studied air brake and train operation by mail. That started him up the railroad ladder and finally he became a conductor. At the peak of his rise he married, fathered a son, a daughter. Later he switched to the ICC. He is 63 now. U ITLER1S legions fall back and the little kings whose little countries lie just beyond the smoke of battle turn more boldly toward _ _ Hitler’s ene-G en. RoyeeTalks m ies. Maj. Of Oil, Transport Gen. R alph Rights, Weather ^ oyces ,,a n ^ his Allied military commission sit down to 10 sheep served on heaped up rice by shrewd warwise Ibn Saud, master of the best of Arabia. The talk, after chins are wiped, is of oil and transport privileges. But once, at least, the general certainly asked about the weather. An airplane pi­ lot who has flown his own ships more than a million miles, he is always a little worried about wind and clouds and rain. Royce is American command­ er in the Middle East, big, wide- jawed, with his military cap usu­ ally cocked at a Beattie angle. He gets on with kings. A while back Egypt’s Farouk piloted him on an aerial sightseeing trip, though Royce could have piloted Farouk even more skill­ fully. He was one of the first 30 army officers to qualify as fiiers and in the last war led a squadron of fighting planes in France. In this war he began by fighting ,the Japs in the Philippines and won 'a DSC and the DFC there to add to the CrtHX de Guerre he earned a quarter of a century ago. Con­ vinced that Germany can be beaten from the air, he has commanded in the Middle East since Septem­ ber. Like most of the army’s top men he went to West Point. Of a Long Line of Tailors, This Son Makes Steel Vests A THIN, tireless E nglishm an helps make the fliers of the Eighth air force safer than M iltonrS "helmed cherubims . . . seen in glittering ranks with wings dis- p l a y e d .” He covers more tfian the Americans' heads with steel. They fly cap-a-pie. Well, nearly! If they aren’t armed from head to foot they wear, besides a helmet, an armored vest. And it turned blows like Lancelot’s shield. This war makes less and less sense. It uses every invention of history’s most mechanized age, but fthe best protection for its cham- ipions is copied from the days of old iwhen knights were bold. A dozen years ago Leonard Barratt of the classic Wilkinson Sword company tinkered up an armored vest. Vests came easy to him. His father, grand and great grandfathers were tailors. Some were sold, in the Battle of Britain, to wives and sweet­ hearts wanting extra protection for tbeir airmen. Nearly two years ago Brig. Gen. Malcolm Grow, Eighth air force surgeon, heard of the dandy device. Scot­ land Xard helped him run down the maker and shortly Barratt was working until all hours. The latest vests include a thigh- protector. Their flexibility is the result of overlapping plates, one, :two and three ply. One ply stops light flak. Three ply stops even revolver bullets close up. Each small plate is sewn into an individu­ al pocket on the canvas back. The whole yields to every blow, then readjusts itself as links adjust them­ selves in a chain. Helmets are a development later than the vests—steel slats over leather modeled on a block to fit any need. They close , down over the eyebrows, around the-ears. .

Marching Through Mud on Bougainville Heavily laden marine infantrymen slosh through deep mud of a jungle trail as they near the battle front. Continued American attacks on Japanese positions in the Pacific are steadily lengthening our striking power from the air. As the battle continued on Bougainville, American troops battled toward RabauI which is considered a vital. Japanese base. Lieut.

Humphrey Bogart was just well on his w ay to entertain servicemen in that area when the company an­ nounced that as soon as he returned he’d stait work on "To Have and to HUMPHREY BOGART Have Not,” by Ernest Hemingway. It’s a tale about the rum-running skipper of a yacht operating off the Florida Keys—sounds very Bogart- ish. ^ That nation-wide search for the voice which most nearly approxi­ mates that of the famous Nellie Melba wound up with the selection of 22-year-old Jean Forward, who’ll sing in Rene Clair’s “It Happened Tomorrow." She moved to Los An­ geles two years ago, and before that had sung leading roles with the Golden West Opera company, the Southern California Opera company, and the American Opera company. Her voice was selected from hun­ dreds by Robert Stolz, who’s serving as musical director for the produc­ tion. When Janet Wilde was in Holly­ wood she appeared in a mere hand­ ful of pictures, mostly Westerns. She switched to radio, and was cho­ sen to portray Corliss Archer in the new comedy series—and now the film folk wantAer back. “That’s not for me,” says Janet. Tom Coats is a stunt double whose services are hired for extraordinary feats of horsemanship. He worked in “Riding High,” and one chore was to impersonate- Cass Daley driving a heavy wagon at full tilt over a desert road.

K A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICies BY THE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Japan’s Resources By Max am (WNU Ftsturt-Thtough special arrangement with The American M*g*zioe.) We hear a lot about Hitler’s Por­ tress of Europe, but seldom about Japan's larger, and vastly richer. Fortress of Asia. Yet, if you could shuffle the lands of the earth around as you do pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, you would find that Hitler's empire could be tucked away in far less than half of the area that Japan now rules. Emperor Hirohito’s domain is larger than continental United States, and he has more than he can use of many vital war materials which are so scarce here that our scientists are on day and night shifts trying to find practical substitutes. It is the richest natural area in the world, and its resources transformed Japan overnight from a poor rela­ tion among the world powers into an empire that spreads from the cold of the northern Pacific to the tropical heat of the Indian ocean below the equator. And a determined enemy is welding this conquered region into a war machine that, given time, will dwarf the military might' the other end of the Axis has at its com­ mand. The areas which Japan either cap­ tured or just walked Into and took over, amount to some 3,100,000 square miles and contain fabulous quantities of war materials. AU of it was taken In the first few months of the war, and since that time we have been able to recapture not much more than 20,000 square miles. Germany does have one important advantage over her Pacific ally: She is' looting a continent which already was industrial; Japan’s conquests, for the most part, were in an area predominantly agricultural and primitive. Japan must fight a war steadily growing more serious for her, and at the same time build the war plants to handle the plenty that is there for the taking. She is some­ what like the burglar trying to tote off more than he can carry. Plenty of Oil. As to resources, let’s take oil first, as one of Japan’s most necessary raw materials. Before the war, Ja­ pan stored up millions of gallons of the oil she bought from us and from the Netherlands East Indies. Then she struck, and you may be sure she didn’t start out empty-handed. To­ kyo’s radio boasts that she now has approximately 70 per cent of the In­ dies oil wells back in production. The Indies produce less than one twenty-fifth of the oil flowing from American wells, about 2,500,000,000 gallons each year. But Burma has oil ■ weils, ton, and I am told by sources I know are reliable that the Japanese program for this year is to store 42,000,000 gallons of oil, just put it away for the future. Even so, they are at work at home, taking 3,500,000 barrels of oil each year from the Manchukuo shale fields, extracting oil from coal, experi­ menting with oil from sardines for glycerine, and with oil from soya beans, boiling pine-tree stamps for another type of oil, and—most im­ portant of all—building synthetic oil plants. The synthetic plants, which are scattered throughout the empire, are the big question rnark in Japan’s oil production. Some of them use German patents; others a process invented by the Japanese them­ selves. We have never been able to locate all of them or find out how much they are producing. > Rubber, Tin and Quinine. Oil is only the beginning of the riches of the Indies. This great re­ gion also produces one-third of the world’s natural rubber; one-fifth of the tin; 90 per cent of the quinine, so valuable in tropical fighting; and extensive deposits of nickel, ba'ixite (from which aluminum is made), manganese, gold, and silver. But Japan can put all of these riches in a side pocket and forget them, with the exception of the nick- el'on the island of Celebes, and look with greedy eyes on the rest of the conquered area. Including the Indies, this empire produces 98.8 per cent of the world’s natural rubber and 80 per cent of the world’s tin. Two million tons of ore high in iron content are dug out of the Malaya mines each year, and the Japanese are now supposed to be busy on a plant to smelt this ore near Singapore. We read frequently of the difficul­ ties Japan has with her shipping, but you never hear any mention of the American tonnage it takes to bring tin from Bolivia, halfway down the west coast of South Amer­ ica, and inland, a much longer haul than the Japanese have. The enemy has 80 per cent of the world’s tin; we have about 15 per cent, which is what Bolivia pro­ duces, and by agreement we have to split most of that with England. Do yon wonder, now, at the almost desperate pleas of the government that we save oar ased tin cans?

I feel this way be­ cause I had an at­ tack of .low,.back pain due to ' injury and others due to in­ fected teeth and ton­ sils. As I have had no trouble for many years I am natural- Iy anxious to help others get rid of Dr. Barton their trouble. Being a physician, I can­ not, of course, discuss the matter with these patients. One of the causes of low back pain and sciatica (pain in hip running down back of leg) which was un­ known until recently is rupture or crushing of the cushion or disk be­ tween two of fhe bones in the spinal column in the lower back. In the Canadian Medical Associa­ tion Journal, Drs. Donald McEach- Era and William V. Cone point out other symptoms besides the low back pain and sciatica. The full pic­ ture includes (a) onset of back pain and sciatica, or both, following strain or injury; (b) the symp­ toms come and go; (c)‘symptoms grow worse by bending backwards and sideways and by coughing and sneezing and straining; (d) ten­ derness on stretching or pressure on the sciatic nerve situated on the buttock and down back of thigh and leg; (e) tenderness on deep pres­ sure on the back to the side of the iisk or cushion that is crushed or ruptured; (f) increased pain, de­ creased pain, or complete lack of pain in the part of the skin over the nerve root supplying the part; ankle jerk is less than normal or absent altogether. Drs. McEaehem and Cone point out that low back pain due to a ruptured disk may be severe but the patient is unable to describe it clearly and that disease of kidney, bladder, or abdominal organs may be suspected and even operations performed. Where the skin over the back and the. affected side is un­ usually painful or sensitive to the prick or stroke of a pin, and the sensation is described as “vibrat­ ing,” “spreading” or painful, it is considered due to a ruptured disk and not to any kidney or abdominal disease.... Infants Require Some Solid Food A story of former years concerned the circus manager and the tame lion. At one part of the act an at­ tendant put his head into the lion’s mouth. This attendant being sick, the manager asked another attend­ ant, a new man, to take his place. He refused, whereon the manager said, “The lion is very tame, he was brought up on milk.” “So was I brought up on milk but I eat meat now,” was the attend­ ant’s reply. Milk has been, and is, the great standby of infant and children feed­ ing; in fact, adults are advised to drink a pint of milk daily. How­ ever, milk is not a complete food as children grow older, and the question arises as to when and how solid foods should be added to the diets of children. Dr. T. G. H. Drake, Toronto, in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, states that in introducing solid foods into the diet of infants, the regular feeding intervals should remain the same. New foods should be offered one at a time. The first solid food should be a cereal thor­ oughly cooked and be porridge-like, not a gruel, containing minerals and vitamins; the cereal should contain wheat, oats and com meals, with added minerals and vitamins. Whole grain brown cereals, while higher in minerals and vitamins than the white cereals, may be ir­ ritating to fhe infant’s bowel on ac­ count of the bran they contain. Cereals for infants should be cooked for one to four hours in the proportion of % cup of cereal to I Vt to 2 cups of water. The water is measured into the upper portion of the double boiler, a pinch of salt added, and the water brought to a boil. The cereal is added slowly with constant stirring to prevent lumping. While milk is the most complete food known, “milk alone, either hu­ man or cow’s, provides all fhe food necessary only the first month of life, after which other foods, must be added.”... QUESTION BOX Q.—Is there a. cure for mucous colitis? A.—Core of mucous colitis rests with the patient. He or she must try to keep relaxed in mind and body. Q.—Will you please tell me what causes an overabundance of electric- ity in the body? A.—Everybody seems to have some electricity; yon appear to have more than the average. Nothin; needs to be done about it. H O tStM O lP MSMOS.

Well-seasoned finger sandwiches made from flaked fish will go well with an aspic salad for a very lovely luncheon: Lynn Says Bits1Of Wisdom: Gentle treat­ ment is the rule for eggs. They are liable to get tricky if you use anything else. Pare, not peel potatoes. You'll be able to see the difference. When boiling potatoes, be sure to use boiling water, plenty of salt. For mashed potatoes, use en­ thusiasm plus a wooden spoon and don’t spare either. Wafifles should be crisp. Don’t open the waffle baker while the iron is steaming. That means it’s cooking.

Iectea and copyrighted by’ Inteinatlonal Council, of Reuslous Education; used by JESUS TEACHES IN PABAlOiES LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:14, 2643.. GOLDEN TEX T-If any man hatb c a n to bear, let him . bear.—Mark 4:23. Parables were often used by our Lord, particularly when He had truth to reveal which was not for unbelieving hearts that had hard- ened themselves against it (see Matt. 13:10-16). The method is that of telling an earthly story, true to life (hence, not a fable), which is placed alongside of the spiritual truth it is designed to teach. It thus differs from an allegory, which gives the meaning with the story (see John 15:1-6). Jesus used parables in our lesson to teach the truth that the good seed of the Word of Qod will be received in various ways and will bring forth widely differing results. He—the Lord—was the Sower, and the field was the world (Matt. 13:37, 38). We note first that in that field there were and are— I. Four Kinds of Soil (Mark 4:1-9). The reception of the seed is de­ termined by the condition of the soil. The great field was essentially of one. kind of soil, but it had become wide­ ly different in its ability to take in the seed and bear fruit. The interpretation of this parable is given by our Lord in the verses immediately following (w . 3-20). It has striking application to our day. A rotid, or beaten pathway, was a common thing in the fields of Pales­ tine. On such hard soil a seed found no place to grow, and the birds car­ ried it away. Such is the condition of a man who permits the heavy and sinful traffic of this world to harden his heart against spiritual truth. If our heart has reached that stage we shouM ask God to break it up. The birds (always a symbol of evil in the IJible) are Satan and his emissaries. They are always busy about carrying away the Word of God when it is truly preached. The rocky soil was a thin layer of good soil on a rocky ledge. At first this caused rapid growth, but with­ out deep roots it could not survive the heat of summer. This is the one who enthusiastically responds to the gospel appeal, but being without real conviction and repentance, he has no stability when persecution comes. The thorny ground—where the growing grain was choked by weeds —typifies the professed believer who lives in worldliness. The friend of the world is God’s enemy (James 4:4). Note the things which destroy spiritual life (v. 19), and shun .mem. In the good ground—open to receive and ready to yield itself for the. growth of the seed—there is abun­ dant harvest. Even here there is. a difference in the amount of fruit. Why not be a “hundredfold” be­ liever? ! Changing the . picture a little our Lord now speaks of— II. Normal Growth and a Good Harvest (4:26-29). This parable, found only in Mark, has a lesson for the sower. He is not to expect the harvest immedi­ ately after the time of sowing. There is a period of patient waiting while God is producing the growth (and only He can do it!)—then the joy of harvest. There are many lessons to Ieam here. We who serve the Lord in teaching or preaching the Word are too impatient, too eager to be able to announce results. God is always willing that things should mature naturally and in due season. Let us wait for Him and be at rest in our spirits (v. 27). Then let us be glad as the seed begins to show signs of maturing, but let us not be slow to gather the harvest when it is ready. Some forget to gather the spiritual fruit of their, labors, possibly having long since lost patience and interest. We should also be encouraged by this parable to continue sowing the seed, knowing that it will find place in the hearts of some and bring forth fruit unto eternal life. Next we are warned to be on our guard against accepting or approv­ ing— m . Abnormal Growth and an Evil Harvest (4:3042). The mustard is an herb, not a tree; hence this parable gave warn­ ing that there would be an over­ grown religious system calling itself Christian. The birds are (as in the parable of the kinds of soil) evil men, or “isms,” or organizations eager to take shelter in a religious System without spiritual power. The church had such an abnormal growth when Constantine espoused Christianity as a political move, mixed it with paganism, and ele­ vated it to a position of worldly power. AU this was and still is contrary to God’s plan for the church. He wanted a spiritual body distinguished by lowliness, meekness and service. These are the things that mark the true Christian spirit. The marks of true Christianity are always those of likeness to Him who said: “I am meek and lowly in heart,” who came “not to be ministered unto but to minister.” Gems of Thoaghi T- HAVE yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.—Charles M.

C.. JANUARY 19. 1944 To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KH I Rn United States Marines paid flic stiffest price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into th« deadliest fire­power along the beaches of this important Gil­ b e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and cost­ly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the. boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treas­ury's red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a di­rect fighter against Japan and Ger­many. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding as­sault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Ex­tra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOJt To the Peopfe ctf this Community YOU ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- p o rtan ce in your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar to­tal lor individu­als. But multinly y o u rs e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be* comes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon. Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re-fained consciousness, asked: “Did do my best?” That’s the only question y&u, too, have to ask yourself when you de­cide the extent of your personalEarticipation in the Fourth War >oan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win­dow of your home. “Let's Keep Backing the Attack.1* THE EDITOR. To the Peopte of this Community THINK IT OVER How about doing a little cold tur­key thinking after you lay aside this newspaper tonight?You’ve got a good job. The chances are there is someone else In your family, perhaps two or three, working. Your son or your brother— m ay be away at war. This war must end sometime. Your whole fam­ily, your neigh­bors, are praying it ends soon and those fighting boys of yours will come home safely.But will you be ready for what­ever happens when peace comes? Will you have something laid away? We’re all hoping there'll be jobs aplenty, jobs which mean making something for somebody’s happi­ness and not ’or somebody’s sor­row. That’s where your War Bonds come into the picture. Sure, Amer­ icans own billions of dollars of War Bonds now; and before this 4th War Loan ends they will have put away billions more. But how about you? You’re the one that counts. The bigger the pile of War Bonds you have when peace comes, the big­ger chance you’ll have to slip right into the post-war world you’re dreaming about tonight. So “Let’s All Keep on Backing the Attack." THE EDITOR. When you buy War Bonds your money goes into action at once. ■Where, we may never know. Maybe, as shown above, to equip a company of American Rangers marching up a railroad somewhere on the Mediter­ ranean. Whether they come back de­ pends upon the equipment we send.Give your dollars' action: BnyMore War Bonds.U.S. Tntrmy Dthnmtm Will Americaas Be Mere Tender With Thdr Msney Tliaa Um cl Tbir Sons Washington, D. C. — A blunt challenge—whether Amer­ icans will be more tender with their money thaft with the lives of their sons — confronts U. S. citizens as they prepare to meet the appeal of the government to put an additional 13 billion dollars into the fight in fee next three weeks. „ American dollars which run off toil­ some cozy shelter to hide while 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.Millions 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 sac­ rifice which is sweeping over the land as our troops swing into of­ fensive action in Africa and await the signal for a landing in Europe, the lteasury Department is offering a series of government bonds to fit every pocketbook. No m atter whether Americans buy the familiar Series E Bonds or Vk per cent bonds or 2 per cent bonds or tax certificates, they will be doing their part to make the Second War Loan drive a success. Consnmer Spending Too High. Consumer spending in 1942 was much too high to meet the war situa­tion of 1943. Last year more than 82 billion dollars of our soaring na­ tional income went to feed the de­sires of Americans for clothes, rec­ reation, foods and luxuries. As these items grow scarcer, more of our in­ come must be diverted from such expenses into government bonds. During 1942 millions of our fathers, ela ‘ relatives and friends were in training here and abroad. Some were already in action.. Casualties were beginning to bite into every community. War Bonds became a vital link between the home and fighting fronts. Today sacrifice has become a way of life for America’s fighting men. Civilian spending on the 1942 scale must go out the window if the home folks are to attempt to match the heroism of our boys at the front. Not every American can take his place in a bomber or in a foxhole or on a fighting ship but he can fire away at the enemy by lending money to the government. v, mm a , W t e A INAtiiMroiiaIDoniEe TWnWS, **S on VlOb BKUOHS- Ir XJOfib oh B o m o rkroms yfoo'Ll an il -MCNCf MIiy S U f t m c i JVe Got a Home, too Mister/ Everyentrd the Payroll savings Plan willherp me qetbacktoitFiquiv it out IftUtocM OlsKViaUa .Hitt. 11, S.

Time is too precious to be wasted upon that which is not wor. thy to live by and will not do to die bv. Life is short, therefore is too precious and priceless to be id­ led away, or even toiled away at non essentials A life may be fpent at hard work of no importance, which can be a great cnrse. This is true' of many, many people. They curse the world by their work rather than bless it. However, when we are doing im portant work—that which God can set H’s approval upon—we should consider it beneath us to step aside and waste our time at that which would displease God. The right work is so important that we have no time to spend at the wrong kind of work. We cannot afford to take ourselves away from the right to spend time in the wrong When Nehemiah was rebuilding the broken down walls of Jerusa­ lem, and restoring the city to its former beauty and nsefulness. San ballat and Gosbem, who were ene­ mies to him, whose purpose it was to defeat his work, sent nnto him saying, “Come, let us meat togeth­ er in some of the villages in the plain of Ono.” However. Nehe- miah knew they thought to do him mischief, so sent them word, say ing, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down; whv should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to yon?” That should be our attitude to­ ward the devil and tha work he seeks to engage us In, We should tell him that we cannot come down —and indeed it. is coming down when we are shopping and stooping to do the wrong, or waste 1 ur time In the wrong. Nebemiah was on the walls of Jericqo repairing them and this was important work in the sight of God, as God was honor­ ing his work, answering his pray­ ers and defeating his enemies. He won out. The devil would have every man of God come down in order to defeat ns. His enticements and proposed compromises are al­ ways to bring us down, bring oth­ ers down, and to bring down the cause of right, the cause of Gud, wreck and destroy life and damn souls in hell. Then we shall an­ swer the devil, answer the entice­ ments to wrongdoing, as did the noble, godly Nehemiah: “I am doing a great work, so I cannot come down ” Then can we re- oice and praise God because of His blessings upon us. This is life’s better wav.

Rise In Living Cost Secretary of Labor Perkins re­ ports that the rise in the average re­ tail cost of staple goods for every, day living was 3 ^ per cent in the past twelve months. The state­ ment is deceptive. The Department of Labor’s index includes about sixty items of food, clothing, utiiities, rents, etc.. all of which are firmly controlled by the Office of Price Administration. But there are thousands of items that go Into cost of living that are not reflected in the index. A true over­ all picture of the march of inflation should take into consideration snch items as shoe shines which went from a nickel to a dime, an ad- vance of too per cent; haircuts from 35 to 50 cents; beautv parlor services, medical expenses, neces sary borne repairs, etc. There is no argument here that such price hikes were not justified; barbers, beauty operators, professional men and building workers haye to meet higher living costs and are entitled to increased compensation. But it all adds to the cost of living. Another factor that hikes living costs is the fact that many things now on the market are of inferior quality. It’s still possible to buy a ten cent handkerchief, for instance, bnt where once a dime would buy a pretty good hankie, now after the first washing it is as full of holes as a sieve. A dollar shirt is prac tically out of the picture, and the higher priced ones don't last as long as the cheaper ones formerly did. So called Victory merchandise is cheap in quality but bigh in price. A bedspring now costs as much as before the war but victory springs look as if they were made from bal­ ing wire. Price restrictions have driven makers and seliers of some cheap lines of merchandise out of busi­ ness. Others have changed names of firms and uames of brands, put­ ting out the.same goods under dif. ferent labels at much higher orice. Few years back, fairly .good ci­ gars could be bought two and three for a nickel. But the five-cent cigar has jumped to a dime, and it you can still fiud a nickel smoke you are lucky. A luxury, to be sure, but it all adds to the cost of living, and none of it shows up in the report of Mrs. Perkins—Statesville Daily. How Can I Be Sure O f1What Started Inflation? Holding Out? Can Only Curse A North Dakota editot inconsider ately calls attention to 'he fact that a year ago families with oil-burning heating systems in their homes were being urged from Washington to co­ vert to coal. Many incurred consid­ erably expense in converting patrio­ tically to coal burning equipment. Now they are confronted with a coal shortage, due to a vacillating and confused policy in dealing with la­ bor problems.

When God would, if we would let him cast out all fear, take over and give us the Victorv over Sm and the devil and over our enemy, bnt in­ stead of that people say they can’t hold out for Jesusor In other words, are not sure of holdiug out. I want to say I’m glad we don’t have to hold out. if we put our Faith In Him. He will do the holding out for us Isaiah 41:10 savs: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my right­ eousness ” I Cor. 10:13 aIso says: “There hath no temptation taken you but Sdch as is ocmtnon to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temp tation also make a way to escape, that ve may Pt able to^bear it.’ Also read II Cor 9:8, 12:9. Heb. 7:25, Jude 24 and John 10:27-29 There is no excuse for oot ac cepting Jesus and becoming a child of God. because these scriptures are enough to let you know that Jesus Christ, our wonderful Lord, has all power and he will do the holding cut if you trust Him, follow in His blessed footsteps and stay low at the cross of Calvary. The Word savs: “But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able." Siuners, there’s no reason why you won’t accept Christ, only that you’re Iis tening ta the devil and he will al ways make some excuse or reason and tell you hot to accept Jesus to. day, because he knows when you accept Jesus be has lost you He wants you to keep putting off sal vation and Christ until ho gets you down to the last mile of the way, then' he’ll laugh at you and tell you tha: you ought to have better sense.

Despite the effoits of President Roosevelt and New Deal propa gandists to shift responsibility for a course that leads to Inflation by placing the blame on Congress the American people know what has contributed to th e inflationary trend Several of the contriouting factors enumerated by the Belle­ ville, Kans , Telescope are: • “The New Daal, which has been none too thrifty or zealous about saving the taxpayer’s money, start­ ed inflation when It permitted con. tracts to hid up prices on Govern ment contracts and approved the ’cost plus’ policy. “The New Deal encouraged in. flation when there was a shortage ot manpower in the country. “The New Deal encouraged In flation when it drew Government workers from the farms, factories and private industries and paid them exorbitant wages, while it denied this same right and privi­ lege to private industry. “ The New Deal encouraged in­ flation when it permitted the will, ful and deliberate waste oi lumber, steel and other and critical material in war contracts and used public funds to replace this profligate w ste. “The New Deal encourage in­ flation when it employed at high wages 3,000,000 Government clerks stenographers, auditors, inspectors, lawyers, publicity directors, public relations officials, so called efficien­ cy experts and technicians to write complicated Government regula. tions, formulas, questionnaires and letters to further confuse and per plex tired over.worked taxpayer on the home front who is working 50 or more hours a week (without overtime) straggling to keep his business from bankruptcy. “So it comes with poor grace for the Presidennt or anyone elso to charge Congress—the only remain ing link between the people and Government — with being respon­ sible for inflation. Every Ameri- can citizen should search for the truth in this critical hour—because ’the truth will make them free* ’’ More Nonsense Another nonsensical rale of the OPA is that it is better to use two cars and wear out eight tires in tran­ sporting bigh school basketball teams to places where games are plaved than to use a school bus where the wear is confined to six tires. It is a piece of the same fabric that makes gasoline available to those collecting coins from juke boxes and slot ma chines but demands that profession­ al men, who treat those greatly in need of their services, reduce the a- mount of gasoline they use.

A Broken Pledge “I propose to use this position of high responsibility ( t b e Presid­ ency) to discuss up and down the country, in all seasons and at all times, the duty of reducing taxes, of increasing the efficiency of Gov. ernment, of cntting out the under­ brush around our governmental structure, of getting the most pub­ lic service for every d ollar paid in taxation. That I pledge you, a d nothing I have said in the cam. paign transcends in importance this covenant with the taxpayers of the United States " —Candidate Frank­ lin D. Roosevelt at Sioux City, Iowa, September 29, 1932. TheVoters Can’t Forget Despite President Roosevelt's sug­ gestions that the name * New Deal" as a label for his political party be discarded the voters are not likely to forget what that label represents. To millions of Americans the New Deal has come to mean unlimited spending accompanied by Federal treasury deficit, high taxes and a huge national debt; concentration of power in the Federal Government in Washington; bureaucratic control of many of the activities of private citi­ zens and of business; playing politics with pressure groups that include many votes; sett ng class against class; confusion, duplication, uncer­ tainly, delays scattered authority in dealing with problems affecting la­ bor, agriculture and industry by the nume ous boards bureaus and com - missions created by the New Deal.

N 1 FEW YORK--Nearly 50,000 sol­ diers from this war have joined the American Legion and by so much the efforts are advanced of Na- . . „ tional Com-InvtteaNewVeta m e n d e r ToTakeO verthe W a r r e n A m e ric a n Ltgion “ F i t duce the new veterans to “take over and make the organization theirs.” And Atherton knows that if the new veterans do come in they will cer­ tainly take over, for they will out­ number the men of the last war three or four to one, at least. Atherton, a 53-year-old lawyer, eame up slowly to his No. I spot in Legion affairs. He was a charter member of a post in his home town of Stockton, Calif., but he was seven years winning the post commandership. And while steadily busy for the state Legion he was seven more years getting into the national picture. He became a member of the Americanism Commission in 1933. It was, however, as na­ tional defense chairman that he really stepped out. He traveled for weeks, and 7,000 miles, in a-pre-Pearl Harbor survey of the nation’s defenses. He was early, but slow in the army, also, although he ended up with a good rating. He enlisted three months after marrying. A lieuten­ ant shortly, he went overseas and finished a captain. Before the war he had quit railroading for a corre­ spondence course in law. When the war was over he hurried back tc Stockton and hung out his shingle. The law has been good enough for years to support the family of six pleasantly. He has three sons and a daughter. Two of the sons are w this war, with the air corps. V y iT H a little luck, Col. Edgar S. Gorrell might have made prophetic Nostradamus look like a guy guessing a daily double. A . , _ _ _ „ month and aC o /. E. S. Gorrell ha]f ag0 the M ayW ellShoat colonel said, tIfaaBulVs-Eyer Pu t “ ° k ‘a‘ ' homa City, that bombing raids on Germany in the next 45 days would be decisive. Only the bombers can say by how far the forecast missed. But from this corner it seems close. Another bomb here, another there, a couple more Unter den Linden and the colonel will qualify. The short, solid colonel is a subdued sort of fellow. Only his brown eyes snap. His voice is usually toned down to tete-a-tete volume. At West Point he was ealled Nap, and not because he reminded anyone of Napoleon. The colonel finished at the Point when he was 31, back in 1913, hurried into the air corps and flew a plane in the Mexican hunt for Villa. When the First World war caught up with us he went to France and wound np with our Distinguished Service Cross, the British DSO and the red rib­ bon of France’s Legion of Honor. Nowadays he speaks as the czar of all civilian air lines. He has been president of the Air Transport asso-. ciation for years. The job came to him not long after he quit the army back in 1920 and it has made him known the world over. An evangel­ ist of air travel, he has traveled everywhere. Always by air; and never without a safety belt. He has worked hard to erase danger from flying. TN THIS uncertain corner a shad- * owy notion still lingers that “logistics” ought to have something to do with argumentation. Lieut. Gen. _ Sir William This Supply Genius Gordon Is Never Too Late Lindsell W ith Too L ittle fw a? aeYar fooled in the same way. And that may be one reason why he becomes boss of trans­ port and supply in the fresh war that Lord louis Mountbatten is getting ready for the Japs in Southeast Asia, Sir William knows, maybe, more about military transporta­ tion and all the curlyeues of logistics than any other couple of British generals. Give him just a little time to figure and he will scheme out a scheme that might move anything, even Heaven and earth. On time, too! He kept his supply trains bumping the heels of Montgom­ ery’s fighting divisions all through the race after'Bommel. The British minister for war calls Lindsell a supply genius. If he is he is self-made. Nearly 60 now, he has been in the army since he was 19. His record for a long while was just that of one more officer among many. Son of a colonel who had married a lively Irish daughter oi an admiral, he was commissioned a lieutenant in 1903. He had become a captain when the First World war ' opened, and when it closed he was only a major, although one with the DSO, the MC ’ and the Croix de Guerre. After the war, however, Sir Wil­ liam commenced to unveil his vast knowledge of the problems of mili­ tary organization, administration and supply.

MIOiE^SCREE By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union. THE film critics of New York’s newspapers voted Paul Lukas the best actor of 1943 for his performance in “Watch on the Rhine” (at the same time voting the picture the year's best), but they were a little late. Warner Bros, had handed Lukas a tribute of their own some two weeks earlier for the same performance; theirs was a long-term contract. His first picture under the new contract will be “Night Action.” It is based on an original story by Norman Krasna, with George Sklar doing the screen story. The Warners came out very well in those film critics’ voting sessions— Ida Lupino was voted the year’s best actress for her work in “The IDA LUPINO Hard Way,” with Katina Paxinou as runner-up for her performance in “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” Jean Pierre Aumont, Metro star u hose last film before joining the Fighting French was “The Cross of Lorraine,” relays the following let­ ter from General De Gaulle concern­ ing the film- “I congratulate you for uaving shown such a beautiful pic­ ture, the active participation m the icsistance of all Frenchmen under the cross of Lurraine. It is fitting that this silent and bloody war be put before the eyes of our true friends, particularly those of the United States of America.” There’s a laurel wreath worth having. War’s effect on Cupid: there’s a scene in “Riding High” where Doro­ thy Lamour and Dick Powell are shown standing on a boatlanding in Technicolor moonlight. Dick tries a tentative kiss. “I can’t make out," says Dottie, “whether you are care­ ful, indifferent, or just plain dumb.” “Oh,” replies Dick, “those were just tracer kisses. I think I have the range now.” — * — This year starts promisingly for Marjorie Riordan, who has the cov­ eted role of Bette Davis’ daughter in “Mr. Skefflngton.” Her contract was purchased from Sol Lesser by Jack Warner following her hit in “Stage Door Canteen.” Euline Martin was only three weeks old when her mother took her to the RKO studio to play Ginger Rogers’ baby in “Tender Comrade.” Producer David Hempstead asked her mother to get the infant a social security card. “Euline already has a card,” was the reply. “This is her second picture. When 16 days old she played in ‘Buffalo Bill.’ ” Greta Christensen, Chicago high ,school girl, got her contract with RKO through posing for department store advertisements.

SCOTT'S I EMULSION ■JL Great Yea,r:Round Tonic lPEAWNG I Q / °!p o r t s & d tr 7 7 l c^ fZ u iy r L S iy Keleased by Western Newspaper Union, U OW many people can name the X champions of three of the eight boxing divisions recognized by the National Boxing association? It probably wouldn’t be an exag­ geration to say that a maximum of one in ten persons could name more than one champion — Joe Louis, heavyweight titlist for the duration. More than 4,000 professional box­ ers are in the services, suggesting that there was more real fighting out of the ring than in it daring 1943. The Boxing Writer's associa­ tion emphasized this fact in award­ ing its boxer-of-the-year prize, the Eddie Neil Memorial trophy, to ail the fist fighters in the services en masse. Four champions were in the serv­ ice throughout the year—Joe Louis, JOE LOUIS heavyweight; Gus Lesnevich, light heavy; Tony Zale, middleweight; and Red Cochrane, welterweight. A fifth, Willie Pep, went in after de­ fending his featherweight title sue. cessfully. Boxing Not Dormant Despite the lack of manpower, boxing wasn’t dormant during the year. With most of the titles frozen for the duration, there still was championship activity in two divi­ sions — lightweight and bantam­ weight—after Pep joined the navy. Beau Jack, recognized as light­ weight kingpin by New York and New Jersey at the beginning of the year, lost the crown in May to Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia. At that time Pennsylvania granted sim­ ilar recognition to its home talent. Jack regained the title from Mont­ gomery in November. As yet Penn­ sylvania has not withdrawn recogni­ tion despite the unquestioned heart break. The lightweight title, however, was disputed by Sammy Angott, who had given it up in 1942 hnt came back in March and later was recog­ nized as champion by the National Boxing association after beating La­ ther White in Los Angeles. Diminutive Manuel Ortiz, Califor­ nia-born Mexican, was the busiest champion of the year, defending his bantamweight crown eight times, chiefly in his home state. The fly­ weight title, only one not held by an American, was defended success­ fully by Jackie Patterson in Eng­ land. Upsets were far from infrequent during the past year—as the form players will testify. Willie Pep’s 62-bout winning streak was halted abruptly by Angott in a non-title bout. Ray Robinson, welterweight chief, won 41 straight and then was floored and outpointed by Jake La- Motta in Detroit. He reversed this setback before going into the army. Surprise Factor The LaMotta incident shared the surprise factor., with Heavyweight Lee Savold’s defeat by Eddie Blunt, reversed in 1 two weeks with a one- round knockout. Then, too, there was Bobby Ruffin’s victory over Jack before the Beau regained his title. Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland Negro, was one of the toughest heavy­ weights in action, beating every­ thing in sight. Yet he was consid­ ered lucky to win a hotly disputed decision over Lee Murray of South Norwalk, Conn. Murray was one of the year’s best newcomers. Hammerin’ Henry Armstrong, for­ mer three-way champion, complet­ ed a successful financial comeback program and had the good grace to retire after a rather deplorable showing against Ray Robinson. But even now there’s a rumor that Hen­ ry will try it again. There have been far too many short-sighted “Comebacks”—in past years. Most has-beens should be content to remain in that state—for their own good, if not for the pub­ lic’s. Heavy Profits That there was a lot of fight left in the industry was proved by the fact that more fight clubs operated at a profit than ever before. Boxing thrived financially in many large and small cities throughout the country. Of 29 shows promoted fiv Mike Jacobs in Madison Square Garden, 13 drew $45,000 and up, 8 drew $70,000. The top gate was $104,976 for Jack vs. Armstrong. The Garden shows averaged $13,000 bet­ ter than in 1948. J S E IY 3 M O C tR C -L E r J (S)K II I wZ V I Y* rV d i l a ! place WeU, Well, Well!

HARTMAN FARM Advance, Route I AUCTIONEER: WILL SMITH north CAR?*-' XJ A “black-out” of radio in North Carolina would leave a bigger gap in the lives of our fellow citizens than most of us realize. W e can look back to a time when radio was just a new-fangled gad­ get that sometimes worked — but today it would be hard' to look ahead to a world. without it. To nearly half a million homes in North Carolina — that’s more than 3 out of ■ 5 — radio regularly brings its air-borne cargoes of entertainment and informa­ tion. Operas and quizzes, variety shows and newscasts, comedies, war stones, symphonies, farm hours, dramas both real and make-believe, lectures _ and dance music — they’re in our living rooms at the turn of a dial. To bring us these varied programs and • the advertising of their sponsors North Carolina has 28 radio stations broadcast­ ing from 2 2 different towns and cities.

Our buses link these communities^ to each other and to the rest of the Nation. W e feel that radio, in a quite different way, is also doing much to bring closer together the people of our State and of our Country.

Lom* bardo arrests Reed Barton on suspicion ol murdering Chesebro. CHAFXER XlI "Buenos dias, senores," he said Jn Spanish, including the guard in his greeting. The latter saluted. Sam Chatfield reached an impulsive arm through the bars to shake hands with Reed. ‘T m sorry, Barton,” he said in English. "I came as soon as I heard the news. Drove in at once. There must be some mistake—unless you’ve confessed that you did it?” Reed Barton grinned. “Hardly that, Mr. Chatfield. I didn't kill Chesebro.” "That’s good. Have they treated you all right?” "Very well, indeed; no com­ plaint.” "I rather think there’ll be no cause lor complaint, Barton. I’ll use my influence, of course. Berta and I have powerful friends, and we’ll see that you are comfortable so long as you are here. Which I hope will not be long.” "Thank you, Mr. Chatfield. That’s very kind of you.” Sam Chatfield thrust his short arm again through the bars and took Reed’s hand in a vigorous grip. Rogers and I likewise shook hands with the prisoner, and with assurance that we would stand by him, we took our departure together with Sam Chatfield. On the sidewalk outside, however, we separated after a brief ex­ change. Hunt and I went aboard the Ori­ zaba to discover that Dwight and Margaret were absent in the launch; the sailing master pointed it out to us well up in the Estero del Astillero, but headed back in our direction. It came eventually along­ side, and Margaret and Dwight climbed up the ladder to the deck. “No luck!” said Margaret weari­ ly, looking up to espy the two of us leaning over the rail. “Dwight’s lit­ tle playmate ran away from us." "I’ll say he ran away from us. No strike; no sign; no anything. Saw him break water just once. This is no place, of course, to go fishing for marlin. I guess that particular one wandered into the bay by mis­ take.” He stepped upon the deck and leaned his rod against the rail. It was Margaret who detected some­ thing unusual in our manner. "What’s happened?” she demand­ ed. Dwight looked sharply at us at her question as if to discover the reason for it. “Any new development — about last night?” he inquired. "Rather an awkward development —for Reed .Barton,” Rogers replied, rubbing the side of his large nose with a forefinger. “What? Tell us.” “Reed’s in jail, charged with the murder of Chesebro.” Rogers hastened to explain why Reed Barton was in jail, giving them an account of our search for Pedro, the pulque seller, and our visit to Lombardo. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” exclaimed Margaret when he was done. "That’s bad luck. I wonder what Elsa thinks about it.” “I don’t know whether she knows it or not,” I said. “Sam Chatfield didn’t say, when we were talking with him.” “We’ll find out, of course, when Elsa comes on board this after- neon,” said Margaret. “We’re real­ ly going fishing tomorrow, you know—” A hail from the water drew us to the ladder, and Margaret, who was closest, waved both arms in wel­ come, and called out excitedly: “Oh, hello! So glad you could come. But—why didn’t we send the. launch for you? Why, we could just as well as not. I’m sorry.” Greetings from several voices be­ low responded, and, looking over the rail, I discovered a boat contain­ ing Berta and Elsa, and on the seat behind them Sam Chatfield and George Rumble, the latter wearing Jiis black sombrero with its silver trimming which glittered in the aft­ ernoon sun. “It’s Reed, of course,” Elsa said dispiritedly in answer to my com­ ment as I gave her a hand at the top of the ladder. “We’ll have him out in no time,” I comforted her.“That’s what Papa says too, but I’m afraid, Barry.” To what lengths of extravagant promise I might have gone at that moment I’ll never know, for with a sudden, bewildering sound of break­ ing water, a huge silvery dark fish leaped from the bay not fifty feet from the Orizaba’s sleek sides, soared almost even with the rail in its mighty, leap and fell back with a resounding crash. I could hear the slap of his gills* so clr— - is he; almost, I fancied, I could smell him. “Come on, you fishermen!” shout­ ed Dwight, making for the ladder. The rowboat had sheered off, its native owner rowing as if for his life, and those of us now intent upon the pursuit poured into the launch, across which the occupants of the rowboat but a few moments before had had to clamber to reach the Orizaba’s ladder. The launch had been rigged for swordfishing. Two leather-cushioned swivel chairs were mounted side by side in the stem of the boat. There were seats behind these for those not engaged in trying for marlin, or who were content to fish over the side. Sam Chatfield had climbed into the seat beside Dwight. He was endeavoring to disengage a rod rigged with heavy tackle which lay alongside on the floor. I helped him with it. George Rumble sat be­ side me, his huge black sombrero crushed down upon his round skull, so that it would clear the awning overhead. Dwight glanced up, his outfit ready, and for the first time looked about to see who had come along with him. He recognized Sam Chat- “Look here, I’m not so keen on visiting that gny down at the jail.” field at his side and smiled, then be­ came solicitous of his welfare. “Are you comfortable, Sam?” he asked. “Oh, yes; quite.” Dwight half rose. “Take this seat, Sam. I think it is the better of the two.” “No, thank you, Dwight. I prefer this side. As a matter of fact, I’m going to ask you now if I may sit here tomorrow on our little jaunt up the coast.” “You certainly may, Sam. Take whichever side is most convenient for you.” Rumble removed his huge black sombrero to let the breeze cool his head; his dark oily hair lay close to his round skull. He dropped the hat at our feet where it lay beside a small wrench. Rumble eyed the latter for a moment, then picked it up and turned it thoughtfully about in his hands. Sam Chatfield finished baiting the huge number twelve hook at the end of its steel wire leader, took a firm grasp on his rod and made a cast, sinking back into his chair, which creaked under the strain. My gaze for the moment was on George Rumble; there was an odd look in his eyes. He was not inter­ ested in the cast; his attention seemed to center upon the straining swivel mechanism underneath Sam Chatfield’s seat. His gaze came back to the wrench in his hands. He turned it about, then of a sudden dropped it beside his sombrero as if the metal had suddenly become hot. Looking back on that evening ashore in Mazatlan, I now can see how freighted it was with tragedy, but it began and ended, apparently, as only a gay adventure. Berta and Margaret remained on board the Orizaba; Elsa, George Rumble and I went ashore together in the launch. Dwight, Rogers and Sam CliatSeld had not been ready to go with us, and the launch returned for them. Elsa had only one purpose, and that to go to the jail to see Reed Barton. She kept pushing us along until finally Rumble halted at a street corner and said, “Look here. I’m not so keen on visiting that guy down at the jail.” “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Elsa retorted. “That guy probably isn’t interested in seeing you, either.” “That settles it, sweetheart,” Rumble replied in his husky voice. “Nothing like speaking your mind. I’ll see you later.” “Where?” demanded Elsa. mH o w do I know? I’m going to the W.N.IJ.SEavice hotel and get my things together. Margaret’s orders. See you on the boat, anyhow, if not before.” Rumble stood on the street cor­ ner, a curious figure in a yet more curious throng of native life. "Goodby,” said Elsa. “Goodby, sweetheart.” The jail, standing in all its medi­ ocrity close by the church, its scal­ ing,-cracked, pseudo-Gothic exterior softened now by the night’s warm shadows, seemed less an eyesore than in the hard light of the sun. “Elsa,” I began, halting on the steps, “perhaps I’d better take yoa over to the hotel, and I’ll call on Reed myself—” “Don’t be silly,” she said, advanc­ ing through the doorway with such precipitate energy that the splen­ did creature preening his mustaches leaped nimbly to one side to avoid being run down. But there was no Reed Barton in the jail. Elsa did not at first com­ prehend the information which was offered in response to our inquiry, and neither did I. “Por que no?” she demanded in Spanish of the jail guard. “El hombre no esta aqui,” the man replied. “No Se por que no.” “I hope they haven’t taken him out and shot' him,” Elsa said, turn- ing to me, an odd light in her gray eyes, which were now round with apprehension. “They do things like that.” “Forget it,” I said. “Your fa­ ther’s influence probably got him out: Donde esta el hombre?” I in­ quired of the guard who in reply merely shrugged his shoulders, in­ dicating that he had no idea where Reed was to be found. We made our way to the plaza where I hoped the old, old Mexican custom once more was being ex­ hibited. But when we arrived only a handful of youthful caballeros en­ circled the kiosk, and a smaller number of senoritas were moving slowly, leisurely in the opposite di­ rection. One caballero, bolder than the rest, halted before his favorite and with a bow presented her with a flower. Round and round they went, while the band played the arias of “La Boheme.” Motor cars were parked at the curb, s haven of parental refuge for any senorita who grew weary. "I've seen this before,” said Elsa after we b*d watched it for some moments. "I never realized until now, though. Sut I’ve been doing this same tiling Jot years. Every girl has. Parading myself, my body, my soul, all that makes up the piti­ ful little me, hoping for the approval of some gay caballero.” “Your gay caballero stands ofc. your right against the trunk of th«t tree.” “Where?” Her head jerked sharp Iy in the direction I indicated. Reei Barton stood leaning lightly, easily, against the tree as he gazed at the scene in the plaza. He pulled his watch from his pocket and looked at it, unmindful that we were near by. Elsa left me instantly and flew to greet him, and I walked over more sedately to congratulate him on his release. “Elsa had visions of your being stood against a wall at dawn and dying romantically to the rattle of musketry,” I said. “Really?” He grinned, pocketing his watch. “Don’t mind what he says,” Elsa implored him. “But how did it happen, Reed?” I asked. “It was just one of those things,” he said. “They came and opened the door to the cage and said to the bird within, ‘Fly away, my sweet,' and I flew away to freedom.” “As simple as that?” said Elsa with a sarcastic note in her voice. “What I think happened was tbal they discovered I was not just a peon who could be thrown into jail and forgotten. Perhaps your father helped, Elsa; perhaps the consul had something to do with it. Any­ way, it’s nice to be out. Neither your father will accept my thanks, nor the consul; ’twas a mere noth ing. Glad to do it, and all that. Saw your father down the street a while ago, Elsa.” “He was coming ashore—Oh— you’re going with us tomorrow.” “Where and what?” “Fishing. You’ll have to coma aboard tonight with your things; we’re leaving early. And now—” She halted, a wistful look in her level gray eyes. “Isn’t there a dance going on somewhere tonight, Reed? Can’t we dance and be romantic?” “Oh, sure. There’s a dance at the hotel tonight. Come along and observe the flower of Mexican yoifth. You’ll see something! These little kids here in the plaza with their hand-me-downs and New York mod- els are a bit tawdry. The newer youth of Mexico is elsewhere.Com- ing, Barry?” “Of course not!” Later I looked in upon the danc­ ers. Reed Barton was right; the Rower of Mazatlan was present. Youth, in any land, of course, is synonymous with beauty, but here it was to be found in extraordinary measure. I looked on for a while entranced, then wandered away. There was a crowd in the bar, and I stood for a while drinking the excellent beer. I wondered where Rogers was, where he had gone, and presently he cam* in and joined me.

Lesson for January 30 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. JESUS USES HIS FOWER TO HELP LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:35-41; 5:35-43. GOLDEN TEXT—Why are ye so fearful? How Is it that ye have no faith?—Mark 4:40. Help—that is what man needs, and nothing but the power of Christ will suffice to meet his fears and sor­ rows. Christ appears in Mark as not only the matchless Teacher of the parables we have just studied, but the mighty Worker. This is the Gospel in which Christ is presented as the Servant of Je- hovan, who came to use His infinite grace and power for cur deliverance. Two great fears gnaw at the vitals of man’s existence. Life is full of awful dangers, and death is so dreadfully final and sorrowful. He is afraid to live, and afraid to die— apart from his faith in Jesus Christ. We find the answer to both these fears as we here see— Jesus’ Power Overcomes I. Fear of Life’s Dangers (Mark 4:35-41). The long day of teaching had end­ ed (v. 35), and the disciples car­ ried out His request that they go to the other side of the lake to rest. Just “as he was” they departed, and before long the tired Jesus was asleep. We know how He felt, and what is even more blessed, He knows how we feel when we are tired. As He slept, a sudden storm (com­ mon on the Lake of Galilee) brought deathly fear to the hearts of His disciples. For the moment they saw only the angry waves, the smallness of their boat, and the hopelessness of their situation. Had they forgotten Jesus? With Him in the boat, they had no reason to fear. They called on Him, and in His majestic and authoritative “Peace be still” the wind and waves recognized their Master’s voice. Should we not learn that in this day of fears and alarms, we may (if we are Christians) count on His presence and His power. If we look at the overwhelming waves of cir­ cumstances and think how frail we are, surely our hearts shall fail us for fear. But if Christ is with us, we are in no danger. Now they were struck with awe at IIis power. “Sometimes the de­ liverances wrought by our Lord so reveal His presence and power that His followers are more deeply moved than they were by the perils which threatened. Whether mas­ tering the storm, or standing unseen in our midst today, He appears to the eye of faith, clothed in divine en­ ergy and power” (Erdman). n. Fear of Death’s Deep Sorrow (5:35-43). Trouble is a visitor in every home, it does not matter how securely that home may be founded upon wealth or social position. Frequently, death chooses a shining mark in taking a dearly beloved child. Children strike their roots deep into our hearts and when they are torn from us. our whole beings are rent and convulsed. Such was the great storm of sorrow which had come upon the home of Jairus, leading him to make the brave step of faith and hope which brought him to Jesus. Then as Jesus turned to go with Jairus a woman touched Him. He stopped to seek her out and com­ mend her for her faith. The seem­ ing delay must have greatly troubled Jairus, particularly when the ser­ vants came and informed him that he need no longer trouble the Master since his daughter was dead. Not infrequently we have similar expe­ riences, where it seems that while God has promised to help us, He has been turned aside and has forgotten us. The psalmist in Psalm 42:3 cries out, “My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?" Our Lord was not troubled at all by the message of the servants of Jairus, but He showed His thought­ ful consideration of the father by reassuring him with the words, “Fear not, only believe.” Everywhere fear blocks the way of human peace and progress. Di­ vine wisdom offers a remedy for it all—only believe. We excuse our lack of faith by the conditions which con­ front us, but none of us face condi­ tions worse than those which con­ fronted Jairus. His daughter was dead and he was told to believe! He obeyed and his faith was rewarded. When He said, “The child is not dead, but sleepeth,” our Lord did not mean that actual death had not taken place, but He meant that in the sight of God death is like a sleep. In the eyes of Christ spiritual death was undoubtedly far more terrible than physical death. A man may be physically alive and yet being spir­ itually dead be worse off than a man who, though physically dead, is spiritually alive. After putting forth the mourning scorners, the Lord performed a miracle by simply speaking to the child and saying, “Little girl, arise.” Here then is the Lord who can overcome every fear, in both life and death. Is He not the one we need as our Saviour?

The bombs we make today will be •dropping on German cities, Japa­ nese islands in a very short time. The home front must fashion them and pay for them with War Bonds. O. S . T rtttury D ifiirtm tl To Ihe People of this Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than ever before— that both work­ers and farm­ers have more cash than ever before. Every­one knows that more than one member of hun­dreds of fam­ilies are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can't af­ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gilt-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don’t just do the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To the People ol this Community you ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great Im- p o rtan ce In your mind in making up a 5t4 billion dollar to­ tal for individu­als. But multiply y o u rs e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be­comes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re­gained consciousness, asked: MDid I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you de­cide the extent of your personal participation in Uie Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win­dow of your home. “Let's Keep Backing the Attack.” THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid the stillest price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost It was Wll or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest fire­power along the beaches of this important Gil­b e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and cost­ly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treas­ury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a di­rect fighter against Japan and Ger­many. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding as­sault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Ex­tra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOR. J i EXTiIA BONDS V. S. Trtatury Department Don’t Be Charged With Non-Support m i / f s .
