A MILLION MEN to A rms Overnight Is it possible that any responsible statesman ever really went before the American people with that old cry that in time of danger "a million men would spring to arms overnight"? over-night"? And is it possible that he was not laughed out of the picture? Yes, it is possible. It is true. Merely to recall" it seems like a dream of innocence, a fragmentary recollection of a golden, age. ' , The hard, stern realities of today recall us from such vaporings like a blow in the face. 'We have seen a million men "spring to arms" in Jugoslavia overnight, and be crushed to earth in less than two weeks. We have seen it in other countries. We have learned or we hope that we have learned that war today is a business that has to be learned. The bravest, finest million men cannot stand before men better equipped, better trained, better led. ' The French were brave enough, and the Norwegians, and the Dutch and Poles and Serbs and Greeks. Hut valor is not enough today. Many people were perturbed last year when military training was begun on a gigantic scale in time of peace. We are onlv now beginning to see why. The words of Chief of Staff Marshall are somewhat reassuring when he says that 1,250.000 men "with the highest morale I've ever seen" are now being organized and trained. War is a terrible thing at best, but it has no more terrible aspect than when men have to fight without adequate training or equipment. The present "new army" is one of which we have every reason to be proud. The men have made amazing progress, ;onsidering that they have been in camp, most of them, only since last fall. It is good, but not enough. The core of the amazinglv successful German army of todiv is the nucleus of "100 thousand sergeants" developed in the skeleton armv permitted under the treaty of Versailles. Ver-sailles. These were six-year men. The army is right in attempting at-tempting to persuade as many as possible of the one-year men to serve voluntarily for a three-year term. Thev will thus develop skills bevond the elementary training of one-year one-year men. That will be valuable, perhaps decisive, if a real war should be faced. The Germans are not braver or better than the men they have repeatedly beaten. They have more know-how, and better tools. America will never Ijo without the millions which the ,ncnt orator. assured us. would soring to arms. But unless n-e make the absolute most of the present opportunity to levelop the know-how and the tools, we might be caught iuddcnl3' and hopelessly without them in some desolate day. But There Was No Peace Back from Tahiti to the United States comes now Hester Hes-ter Parsons, in search of peace. Six years ago she and her family fled the United States for Tahiti, in search of peace. But there was no peace. . The island paradise is being squabbled over by Vichy and Free French adherents. There is rioting and battling and dueling. - And so, after six years of "escape," Mrs. Parsons has escaped back where she came from, having found, apparently, appar-ently, that the only satisfactory solution is the one over which Hamlet hesitated,' "to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them." ....

Lemon, home demonstration agent, it was reported today. All boys and girls 12 to 21 years of age, inclusive, are invited in-vited to Join, and should contact the community supervisors or the agricultural office in the city and county building, Mrs. Lemon said. The Utah county 4-H leaders training class will be held May 22 at Trovo under direction of Miss Fern Shipley, assistant state club leader. Between 40 and 50 girls' clubs in foods, clothing and home furnishings fur-nishings will be organized in 18 communities of the county, stated Mrs. Lemon. It is expected from 15 to 20 boys' clubs will be organized or-ganized in crops, dairy, livestock and forestry. Last year there were 53 girls' cluhs enrolling 411 members, with local leaders and supervisors. There were 16 boys' clubs with an enrollment of 135 members in 10 communities, with 19 leaders lead-ers and supervisors. From the state office it is announced an-nounced that 14 firms and individual in-dividual supporters of 4-H throughout the nation have of- iored state awards for members achieving superior standing. Officers of the Utah county leaders' association will meet next Wednesday to map the summer's work. AlRoy Gillman of Lindon is president. Other officers are Mrs. A. H. Christenson of Orem, vice president; Helen Warnick of Manila, secretary; Mrs. Estella Ollerton of Springville, Fred Corn-aby Corn-aby of Benjamin, and Heed Hales of Orem, directors. 4 ?: . e o- y 14)- I Washington Merry-Go-Rcnnd (Continued From Ptkg On) signed fcy the French for conversion con-version into an aircraft carrier A hURe sports deck was built so that it could be quickly changed into an airplane landing deck. Two elevators were even installed at each end of the ship for hoisting of planes. : LNAZI SLUMAKIAK TACTILSS The use of airplanes in spotting submarines in the North Atlantic was worked out partly as a result of Nazi tactics in locating Brit ish vessels. For some time - the Nazi.i have used airplanes to spot British convoys, then radioed their location to nearby' submar ines, usually lying in nests of three or four, awaiting signals. When the submarines attack, one usually acts as a decoy and draws the British warships off to one side, while other Nazi subs drive In for the kill. That, plus the fact that 20 or 30 merchant vessels now travel in a convoy train, is one reason why ship casualties have been so heavy. From their vantage point above the water, airplanes can look down upon submarines lurking below be-low the surface, and the weather is clear, can spot them miles away. The Navy has some air planes especially equipped for this type of patrol . work, carrying eight depth bombs each. Some planes also carry a new sub-marine detector which can pick up the sound waves from undersea motors. A few of these planes, sold to the British, were used in the Mediterranean and partly explain ex-plain why the British Navy suffered suf-fered so little damage Irom submarines sub-marines In that area. The Navy Coast Gaurd plan to use this aerial technique in the western Atlantic, leaving the eastern east-ern Atlantic to British patrol Patrolling the eastern Atlantic from the air is not difficult for the British, since they can base their planes on land, in fact have been operating such patrols for some time. Big question of course is "How far out at sea will American planes and ships patrol?" Judg ing by the hints President Roosevelt Roose-velt dropped last week, the 1,000-mile 1,000-mile limit will be subject to considerable con-siderable stretching. I l'OHKU FROM URANIUM The most closely guarded de fense secret in the country today is the scientific work in progress on U 235, a uranium isotope, which if successfully produced in sufficient quantity will revolutionize revolution-ize world sources of power. This fabuloi:h snhsfnnrp rtis- mtiopoH to-n ..tiara n rr i a h ...hwiini tQi , ni,m . r, process of atom-smashing. . One pound of It, combined with ordinary ordi-nary water, would release an energy enough to take the place of millions of gallons of oil or millions mil-lions of tons of coal. 'So far, however, how-ever, it ha3 been isolated only in minute quantities. Laboratory research- on a method of producing U 235 . in amounts large enough for practical prac-tical use is going on 24 hours a clay behind locked doors at Columbia Colum-bia University and the University of California, which are equipped with atom-smashing cyclotrons. In rushine: their secret experiments, exper-iments, U. S. scientists know they are in a race with the Nazis. German researchers also are working day and night to produce the same mafdc element. In fact, military experts are convinced that one motive for Hitler's seizure seiz-ure of Denmark last year was the experiments being carried on by Dr. rs'eils Bohr, N'oble Prize winner win-ner of the University of Copenhagen. Copen-hagen. He did th2 original work on U 235. In this fateful race, the United States and Canada fortunately have an abundance of raw material ma-terial They possess almost inex- -by Williams haustible quantities of uranium bearing ores, such as pitchblende. The Great Lake region of Alberta abounds in pitchblende, while large deposits are also found in utan and Colorado. However, Hitler's occupation of Czechoslovakia provided him with an abundant supply, too. It was pitchblende ore from Bohemia mat was used by the Curies in their search leading to the 'discovery 'dis-covery of radium. : PARADOXICAL I4JUTISH - Paradox in the new North At lantic patrol belt is that the British Brit-ish will benefit from something they once protested so vigorously stretching the three-mile limit for prohibition enforcement. It was just eleven short years ago that the Coast Guard which now will hunt Nazi submarines 1000 miles at sea shot down and sank the Candaian rum-runner, I'm Alone" 250 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Immediately a terrific howl went up from the British. The Canadian goverment protested, exchanged ex-changed a long series of notes with the State Department, and in the end the sinking of the vessel was submitted to international ar bitration. Supreme Court Justice Van Devanter was the arbiter for the United States, and joined with the Canadian jurist in find ing that the Coast Guard had exv ceeded its authority in chasing the "I'm .Alone ' beyond one hours cruising distance from shore. So Canada got a monetary award, and the ship's captain got damages, despite the fact that the "I'm Alone" was found to have been owned by American, not Canadian bootleggers. i MAIL BAG- , W. ft., Stockton, Calif.

Nursery Schools Health In Public By Dr. Richard Arthur Holt Director, Cleveland Child Health Association Written for NEA Service Last of 12 Articles Child health and housing may seem far removed from each other at first glance, but actually they are closely connected. This is especially es-pecially true in slum areas the breeding spots of delinquency and crime, death -and disease. The infant mortality, tuberculosis tubercu-losis and syphilis disease rates are highest in poor housing areas. Epidemics beginning in those sections sec-tions often spread rapidly to other parts of the city. Children are the chief sufferers in such areas. They are crowded into dilapidated houses, their play space is limited, dangers from accidents are increased, and the crowding produces rapid spread of the contagious diseases. Nursery Schools Helpful Underprivileged children of the slums not only live in unsanitary conditions, but do not get enough food of the right quality and lack proper medical and dental supervision. super-vision. The Federal Housing administration administra-tion has moved to remedy this with housing projects, but the simple erection of better units rented at minimum prices does not solve the entire problem. When families are brought together to-gether in large groups, such as are found in modern housing projects, pro-jects, problems of sanitation, public pub-lic and private health, recreational recreation-al and community problems arise. A most favorable move to assist as-sist child health in such developments develop-ments is the establishment of nursery schools as integral parts of the project. These children receive thorough examinations and are immunized against diphtheria, diph-theria, small pox, and some of them against scarlet fever and whooping cough. Establish Good Health Habit Special provisions are made for supplementary feeding, orange juice, cod liver oil, rest periods and free play. Good health habits hab-its are established in the children as to personal cleanliness, toilet and eating habits. Not the least important phase of the relation of the nursery school to the housing project is the cooperation between parents, health authorities and housing officials. Parents take an active Interest and are able to pay part of the cost of the school. They are taught to observe "symptoms of sickness and generally learn ways of promoting child health. .

Listen Ken, I ve got to talk to somebody, I I want you to be my guest at lunch. . '. , No, I'll pay or I won't go! I asked you first, and I'm Jamished." She liked Ken Palmer immensely. immense-ly. Good old Ken. He earned all of the $135 a month he got, keeping keep-ing books. Once that had been $45 more than her own salary. Now, though, she was in a fantastic fan-tastic sort of job where money and work and yes, adventure were all too plentiful. She had to be nice to Ken. They met in Grosso's, a favored side street spot, and as she herself her-self had warned him, Carolyn was full of conversation. She talked between salad bites. But she talked intelligently. "Ken, don't ever tell a soul," she admonished, "but our little trick worked to a T! My hunch was right. Somebody did try to get that shipment. Robbed the freight train and stole the dummy box!" He was excited. "I saw the papers this morning. Tried to call you. . Gosh!" "Yes. It's a good thing we substituted sub-stituted rocks.' Bob is so grateful he was in tears. The; stuff the chemicals I mean, were rather valuable to him. Ken, will you take pay for that? A reward?" His lips tightened. She hastened on. - "I know you won't. I didn't mean to hurt j'ou, Ken." "Carolyn, I'd do anything for you. Always!" She dropped her eyes, and answered an-swered that in a low tone. "I know it. Now I think I'd better tell you something. Something important." im-portant." "Surely." "Ken, I love Bob Hale. I'm off the deep end!" TTER eyes filled with tears then and he saw it when she lifted her head. Ken didn't say anything for a long while, but his face was a study. He had stopped eating. Finally he nodded ever so slowly. "All right," he whispered. "I'm glad you told me, Carolyn. These things have to be!" They understood each other; they didn't need to talk. Both knew Ken had loved her and hadn't ever said so in words. Important Aids To Child Housing Projects f : " These children are playinjj In a back alley re r use heap In a big city slum. Such squalid surroundings constitute a direct threat to child health. Gare of the Teatli This is one in a series of educational edu-cational articles about the care of the teeth. Teeth arc Wghly specialized organs or-gans of mastication, and each of the full set of 32 teeth has a particular par-ticular duty to perform, according accord-ing to the American Dental association asso-ciation educational service. The loss of one toolTi impairs the masticating mas-ticating process and may have a tad effect on digestion. Hence, it is important that the teeth be preserved. The teeth perform two distinct functions in the chewing1 process. The first is the cutting and tearing tear-ing funcKon; the second, the grinding, or to use the dental term, comminuting function. In. the forefront of the dental arch are the incisor and' cuspid teeth; next are the bicuspid teeth, and, in the rear of the mouth are the molars. Each tooth is shaped to best perform its function. The incisors, which, as their name implies, are used to cut the food, are chisel-shaped. As the teeth close in the act of chewing, chew-ing, the lower glides over the under surfaces of the upper. The cuspids and bicuspids have sharp pointed crowns, since they are used for tearing purposes. The back teeth, ens. molars, 'are cubelike, and are used for grinding. grind-ing. ' Their broad grinding surfaces sur-faces glide over each other as the upper and lower teeth come together. to-gether. Hence the name molars, or millers. : ? Loss of any of these teeth really means loss of the useful LOVE POWER "Ken, you're the nicest some body in the world." lie nodded again. "I understand. I won't forget. In fact, Carolyn, I already Knew." - "You knew?" "Yep. A man isn't blind. s You let little things slip. And no woman wom-an would do what you have been doing for him unless unless Well, power to him! And Carolyn, I'll always be around. Always!" She wanted to cry then. She wanted to hug Ken and kiss him in sheer admiration and sympathy, sym-pathy, but she ate silently for two minutes or more to cover her emotions. You can't just break down nnd bawl in a restaurant, she told herself. "Ken," she began anew, presently, pres-ently, "things are going to change for mo. I might as well tell you that Bob Hale loves somebody else." "Ho docs? Why the poor stu pid ! "Hush. It's partly sympathy for her. But she is handsome! And scheming. And Bob is so deeply involved in his work right now that he is is Oh, I've got to take any initiative, Ken! See what I mean? "He is completely unselfish. No touch of conceit. It's why I love him, I guess. I could make him so happy! But he's blind. He trusts everybody. He's a genius and they're like that, I suppose. But he's hungry for love and he reveals re-veals it when he is given half a chance, Ken! Sometimes I just want to kidnap him!" She was becoming a bit vehe ment and she realized it. "I'm being be-ing shameless. Forgive me, won't you? And just let me talk myself out." "Eat your lunch," he command ed, practically. "I think you need it. You're jittery." "I do need it. But I m going away." She suddenly squeezed his hand. "A million thanks, boy friend. And goodby!" She got up abruptly and left him, paying both checks at the desk. He thought he understood why; her eyes had gone misty again. He didn t try to follow her. SHE went immediately to find . iidic ca V stale Jjyxn-C li(.rta- quarters, but both he, and Miss Sormi had gone. In a taxi again, then, she raced back out to the laboratory. She had no idea what to expect next but she knew she had to continue her rather desperate, au dacious action. Bob, of course, had told Leana Sormi about Carolyn's Caro-lyn's outwitting the train robbers. "She'll know I'm wise to her even if Bob isn't!" Carolyn half whispered, to herself. "At least she'll suspect plenty and be scared. And ihe'U fight back somehow!" ness of the tooth directly opposite oppo-site it and frequently impairs the usefulness of the adjoining teelh. Lost teeth should usually be replaced re-placed through some form of dental restoration. Besides performing the masticating masti-cating function, teeth aid in speech, and help give form to the face. Consequently, one owes it to himself, from the standpoint stand-point of both health and appearance, appear-ance, to keep the teeth : in good condition.

COPYRIGHT 1941, NEA SERVICE. INC. The indefiniteness of that reasoning rea-soning was itself enough to cause alarm. She couldn't quite decide what to expect of Leana Sormi. Maybe, she told herself once, she was--imagining all this; maybe Leana was honest and not involved in-volved in treachery at all. But something deep in Carolyn rebelled re-belled ot that idea. "I can't prove one single thing!" she lamented. "But I know!" She kept her taxi waiting whilu she located Bob in his oflice. "Carolyn! I was wondering where you " "Get your hat at once!" f.he ordered. , "And coat. Have you any money?" lie looked at her with fresh surprise, sur-prise, but he stood in awe of Carolyn Caro-lyn Tyler now. He didn't question her at all. He had a few hundred dollars in a small office safe, and got that. They departed in het taxi without j;peaking to anyone. Presently, he sat back and smiled at her. His old, beloved tone of tearing suddenly re-appeared, the first hint of personal feeling toward her ho had Fhown in days. Carolyn's heart leaped. "If it wouldn't be presumptuous, miss, I'd like to know what brew you aro brewing now." "You will," she flashed back. "Oh Bob!" He studied her. "You're tired. too. It's been a strain!" He was suddenly contrite, solicitous. She led him meekly from the taxi to the plane when they reached the airport. Her hired pilot came out, saluted genially. She motioned him to his scat and in a moment he had the motor roaring. "What's all this?" Bob wanted to know. But he saw that she wai still eager and smiling. "Am I supposed to take a sky ride?" "Look in there," she pointed. "In that box, Bob, i3 your precious substance. I -have had it transferred trans-ferred out here." He was abruptly serious again. He went inside to touch the box. "But Carolyn!" They had to shout above the motor's roar. Somebody had closed the cabin door, and Rob saw her. signal to the pilot. The roaring multiplied. The ship quivered, began to roll. Bob's chin dropped. He was standing stooped over in the low-ceilinged low-ceilinged cabin there, and he gripped the back of a seat. He tried to say something to her. Carolyn smiled again reassuringly. reassur-ingly. "Sorry, Bob, but just take it easy. The pilot's mine. I hired him- and he is doing only what I ordered!" "But "Sit down!" she shouted, happily this time. "It just had to be this way. We are going to Arizona:" ' (To Be Continued) |
