THE ATTIC-- IN WHICH MEMORIES, TOO, ARE STORED EVERY well-ordere- d home should have an attic as a place for the storage of memories. In the attic the memories will lie dormant until there comes a moving day. When that time comes, its long-forgott-treasures will be revealed and the problem of disposing of those treas ures will be a serious one. There will be found the crib and high chair the babies used years ago. Those babies are now grown to men and women. They have homes and families of their own in far-awa- y places. What memories of their days of babyhood the days when the home echoed the happy prattle of little children those sim-ple bits of furniture bring back. There can be no more babies to use them, but it is hard to let them go. In a litter of the attic are found the school and college dance pro-grams of the daughter. Written on them are the names of boys, many of whom we have long forgotten, but those names recall memories of hopes for the daughter's future, of evenings when one or another "called" and "Ma" and I retired from the parlor or living room and Pickets at the Red Lion mine, one of the "rebellious" spots in west-ern Pennsylvania's captive coal strike are routed by state motor police after the pickets had earlier stoned cars and blocked a publio highway for two hours. Above photo shows a picket arguing vainly with a trooper. This particular Incident was closed without personal Injury. watched the clock for the appro-priate hour for the young man's de-parture. Ransacking the attic gives one an opportunity to live over again those cherished days of the long ago. You dig out of the clutter the uni-form you wore as a soldier before the turn of the century and with it the sword that was your badge of office. They remind you of the long-- I forgotten comrades of those soldier days. Then you find "Ma's" wedding dress and hat and marvel at the style and size of the dress. You re-call incidents of that happy day when you took her from the home in the little Iowa town to a new home in the city. You recall those who were present at the wedding ceremony. Most of them you have not heard of for years and you won-der at what changes life may have brought to them, what success or failure may have been their lot. These are but typical of the thou-sands of incidents the contents of the attic will bring back to you. Each item, as you dig it out of the accumulation. Dresents a nrnhlem. Can you discard it? Can you throw away the old lamp beside which you spent so fUffiijf pleasant evenings? Should you not keep the old and badly worn quilt your mother "pieced" and quilted so many, many years ago? There are the pictures of friends of the long ago, some of which are now hard to re-call, but when you do, they live again. Should you not keep each and every one of them, as well as the thousands of letters you spend hours and days rereading? Yes, the attic is a storehouse of memories. A storehouse that offers more problems when you move than does all the rest of the house to-gether. In the end you keep much of it to be stored away in another attic that becomes another store-house of memories and presents other problems should you ever move again. ONE WAT OF GETTING THE FACTS TO PEOPLE SECRETARY MORGENTHAU is asking congress for another heavy tax increase, one that will produce an additional seven or eight billion dollars each year. He also asks for legislation that will collect all fed-eral taxes at the source, that the taxes be deducted from the pay en-velopes of employees and from the dividend checks to stockholders. Such action by congress would give the mass of the people a better understanding of what they pay for what government provides. It would give them facts our system of "hid-den" taxes has long denied the greater portion of the American people. It would make for a more intelligent citizenship and more in-telligent voters. Let us hope the politicians may accent at least that part of the secretary's recommen-dation. FEDERAL MA1X WASHINGTON tells us we must economize in our use of paper, but the federal government has ordered one billion, four hundred million en-velopes for 1942. That represents 11 envelopes for every individual in the nation, including the babies. Those envelopes will be distributed as franked mail. At the normal postage rate of three cents, it would mean a postal revenue of 42 million dollars. There is one reason for a postal deficit. HAIR CURLERS THE LADIES cannot buy made-m-Ameri-hair curlers, the kind hey wear to bed. The reason is factories the making them cannot get necessary material as it is needed for the war munitions we are pro-ducing for England. But cheer up ad.es. the stores will sell you exact-- y the same thing, with a tt'fle dif- ferent name, made in and imported from England. English hair curler lactones are still operating. The Price, incidentally, is just half of the made-in- - America kind. British Chief i if ' V 1 - ! 0ft J J hp'' " d Gen.

NAZI INTRUDER There is a German smuggler op-erating in the Caribbean oil the coast of Mexico. This was the inside reason for the President's sudden transfer of the entire coast guard to the navy the coast guard's ships and planes are needed to track down the Nazi in-truder. Sensational feature about the smuggler is that she Is a former U. S. vessel the 800-to- n Diesel-englne- d yacht that once belonged to A. Atwater Kent, Philadelphia radio magnate. The one-tim- e pleasure ship now is being operated under the Panama-nian flag out of Vera Cruz, Mexico, by Nazi agents in that city, and is being used to transport high test gasoline and mercury to small Car-ibbean islands where Japanese ships collect the smuggled strategic sup-plies. The yacht recently unloaded 1,000 flasks of mercury at an island which for military reasons must be name-less. The former luxury craft came into possession of the Nazis by a cir-cuitous route which intelligence ex-perts uncovered only a few weeks ago. The purchase was made by a snipping company wnuse main ui-O-is in Vera Cruz and has a branch office in New Orleans, where transfer of title took place. The price was $18,000. Fortunately for intelligence the payment was made in U. S. bills of $1,000 denomination. From the seri-al numbers, the bills were traced back to a Vera Cruz bank. There it was learned the money had been withdrawn from the account of the leading Nazi business house in Mexico, and turned over to the ship-ping company that bought the yacht. Subsequent investigation revealed that all the stockholders of this com-pany were Germans; also that the two top officers were Spaniards, one a naturalized Mexican and the other a naturalized American citizen. Now, every movement of the yacht is watched, but there is noth-ing the United States can do about the ship unless she enters American waters. So far the vessel has been very careful to stay within Mexican territorial waters. LEND-LEAS- E MILK EXPERT The most novel type of lend-leas- e operation thus far was the lend- - of a man named AdolDh. Adolph Eichhorn went over to help the British against Adolf Hitler. The British are suffering from in-sufficient production of milk, be-cause of diseased cattle, and Eich-horn is the man who knows all the cow cures. He is director of the animal disease station under the de-partment of agriculture. Three principal diseases afflict British cattle: tuberculosis, which makes the cattle lean; Bang's dis-ease, which results in the loss of the calf; and mastitis. Eichhorn was obliged to tell the British that tuberculosis, which af-flicts 35 per cent of British cattle, cannot be cured during the course of the war, unless the war lasts for another generation. It took the United States 22 years to get the disease under control. Bang's disease is more readily cured. By vaccination, a calf can be immunized so that its adult life will not be afflicted with the dis-ease. Meantime, the British are import-ing great quantities of dry and pow-dered milk from the United States. Fresh milk is worth a king's ransom. RETURNED FAVOR When Rep. John McCormack of Massachusetts was elected Demo-cratic floor leader of the house, one of his strongest and most un-expected supporters was Georgia's fiery New Deal-hatin- g Gene Cox. Though the two men were poles apart on economic views, Cox never-theless backed McCormack and did yeoman work for him. Recently McCormack returned the favor. Before leaving on a trip to Massachusetts, McCormack named Cox floor leader during his absence. "Thprp'a onp rnnHitinn hnwovnr Gene," he grinned. "You'll have to refrain from those hot one-minu-speeches on the floor. I don't want my stand-i- n taking swings at the administration. It would look bad." McCormack wished the Georgian luck and left the chamber. Hardly had he departed when Cox jumped up and asked permission to address the house for one minute. New Dealers held their breath, expect-ing him to uncork one of his scorch-ing blasts. But they relaxed with a sigh of relief when Cox launched into a ter-rific tirade against John L. Lewis. CAPITAL CHAFF Capt. Jules James, commandant of the U. S. naval base at Bermuda, is a nephew of Secretary of War Stimson. White House has received a bar-rage of ietters and telegrams urg-ing Maury Maverick as ambassador to Mexico. Madame Maxim Litvinov was born Ivy Low, daughter of British historian Sidney Low, and niece of Sir A. Maurice Low, who was Wash-ington correspondent of London's Morning Post.
