'. .A repeater on a midwestern news- paper asked 30 men and women, "interviewed essentially at random, which'r United Nation has made the greatest contribution toward win-ining win-ining this war. Two said Bussia, one China and 27 the United States. Such a question and the answers. Imake an- excellent feature, but the results of the poll prove only one thing, which is the willingness of almost al-most everybody to express a Jinn opinion on matters about which he knows very little. To such a question there are at least six answers which can be araued with considerable logic Britain China, Russia or the United btates, Germany oy ner erruis, w .our own favorite that the war hasn't been won yet, which is not really a quibble. We should not be in position to dream of winning the war, eventually; eventual-ly; if the British Isles had not weathered weather-ed the crisis that followed Dunkirk. England might not have survived but forffhe weapons and other aid we corftrjbuted. But that aid would have been&itjle if ihe British ;had not used if -vita' a courage and optimism unparalleled un-paralleled in military history. The best we could hope for would be a jstalemate if Russia had not amazed the world by the bravery and skill of her battered armies, and by possession of material resources of which none of us dreamed. But without with-out British and American aid, Russia probably would not have been able tp turn back the Nazi tide. V; Without American materiel or without with-out JBritish sea and military manpower, manpow-er, the victory of North Africa could nbtiave been won nor, for .that matter, mat-ter, wbuld it have' been won if much oi Hitler's strength had not been tied up in Russia. V- It is utterly impossible to sort out the .combined contribution of any one country, and say that it was greatest, ponwnon sense tells us that any one of tjiese nations produced a balance of' power . without which at best we should have been forced to an in-Heqve in-Heqve camistice. Ijnd if Germany had invaded England Eng-land immediately after Punkirk, or had refrained from attacking Russia, we should have lost one or. other of those invaluable allies. ' " Let's go ahead and win the war, and - f eave it to history to decide whiter it matters greatly who made the greatest contribution. ttt;aVxtt COLUMN Practical Tips On First Aid For Use In Accidents T tBetiflie Mollis at flome AreHaving a Big Time Today" By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Written for NEA During the summer with increased in-creased violent outdoor exercises, there 4s bound to be an increase also al-so ' in s accidents and emergencies. Since accidents have a way of happening hap-pening in places least suited to quick and satisfactory . medical treatment, and around people ignorant ig-norant of how to handle the emergencies arising out of them, a few practical tips are in order. What toS do About fractures when exact equipment for'-ckrels lacking, and how to improvise on material at hand until medical care is available. Is valuable? information informa-tion which too few persons 'bother to acquire. Certain groups JHke sthe Boy Scouts and the Red Cross have, since the outoreaic ox war, given some invaluable training in meeting acciaem emergencies, pui there are still many people not -yet conscious of the need to know first aid. Distinguishing Fractures Alter the major premge of keeping the victim of an accident acci-dent warm is taken care of, the thine to do next is to distinguish between a compound and a simple sim-ple fracture as clearly as possible, possi-ble, and to apply a splint to any. fracture of a major extremity. simple or compound, before rat-; tempting to move the victim. The victim should be kept quiet and motionless during sthe taint for a suitable splint A ence rail, .signpost, branch of a tree, broom, rake, rifle, or golf clubs are Ul usable" and ingenious solutions to the problem. If the weather conditions are',. bad, it may save time to forego' a splint, and bind one leg to the other or the arm to the body. , . Ideally, the splint should he light and strong, and long enough to extend fceyond the joints tboth above and below the site' of the. fracture.

Remembered Remem-bered how he had mjxed with the Moslem natives, often, when he was on furlough, for days at a time wearing their clothes, eating eat-ing their food, fearing their fears, hoping their hopes, dreaming their dreams and oh, yes sinning their sins. Nobody, neither his comrades nor his Moslem friends, had ever known that Lincoln Elliot, sergeant ser-geant in the Foreign Legion, and Terek el-Medjahiri, the young Arab from far-off Syria "Allah! Allah! What a queer accent these i Syrians have!" who occasionally (wandered into town, were one and tth'e same. Yes. He remembered. Remembered the color of it. i Color of gold. ' Color of "blood. - Color pi passion. . Reniembered the scent of it, a mingling of musk and sweat, rose-oil rose-oil .and garlic. ' Rmejabered the life of it, shameless, untrammeled, savagely, gloriously free. , And, as he. remembered, he felt to his heart en unrest that set his jperyes to' tingling. Jgte had already poured a generous gen-erous ;two fingers of whiskey, when, drowning the. chant of the drums, there came from a near ; Arab house a confused symphony of " voices, unrestrained Oriental laughter, high-pitched yells, the tiiikletinkle-tinkle of a woman's .glass bracelets, a Negro's clicky, jungly tslk. The sounds leaped up like fragments of some half-forgotten half-forgotten melody; they mocked him-T-and tempted him . . . and, ' suddenly, he laughed; He laughed, - perhaps, at Africa. t perhaps at his .own "self. , Treel" he thought; VFree, once ; more; lor ' .the "last time! To the devil with duties and respOnsibili-. respOnsibili-. ties for the space of one night!" v ? 'And he- Jeft the veranda and, .- walking on tiptoe, rwent to . his ijedroom. '. 1 .-; m TCTET listened " ; ; The " house was quiet. The I servants were asleep; His second-' second-' to-command1 and . good friend, Capt Robert Pelletier, also of the Legion, who had -the room next v to his, vas snoring heartily. w He locked the door.pulled down .: the ;, window blinds,- lit a lamp, undressed. ! , - Feeling very mych like ' a conspirator con-spirator in'-some, screen : melo- drama, he opened; a trunk which held some of his, more Intimate belongings. He looked at the contents, con-tents, smiled, went' to work. r- Studying his face Jn the rnirror, he iound.it burned a clear mahogany ma-hogany by the tropical pmtA many seasons. Given the right costume, he could pass anywhere ! for 41 desert Arab.- Only his mustache mus-tache was too 'military, too long. So, in the proper Moslem style, ho clipped it away from the lips and shaved the corners. . - . Then, with agile fingers that had not forgotten the trick of it, he crowned his head with a white , cotton ekullcap and tied over it 13 kufyizh, the large, square silk Cautiously he left the room, the house, walked out Into the street, lost himself in the dense, trooping shadows cast by the Mosque of Swords. ' kerchief of .dull red with a bright orange border from which dropped colored tassels that reached his waist. He fitted the knfyioh close to the back of his head with the help of the asked, or twisted hair rope, and pulled it out in a peak protruding over his forehead, so that it shaded his eyes and gave to his countenance that truculent expression on which true desert-men desert-men pride themselves. He dressed his body in a simple white : cotton shirt, tight-sleeved, open in front, which covered him from head to foot and was girt by a handsome shawl. He struck a crooked, silrer-handled - jorobyiah dagger into its folds. Over it all he threw a voluminous burnoose of - camel's . hair "good against, cold, good against, heat? say .the Arabs andv inserted his bare feet into yellow leather slippers. ,He .was. about to leave the room; stopped suddenly on the threshold. ' 5 Something he thought - was missing from his costume, i' He frowned, wondered. Then he knew, what it was. TN former years when, for the sake of the adventure, the thrill, he had mingled with the Moslem natives, there had been one thing which had acW as a talisman. It had been important, had opened certain doors. Today its value, was merely sentimental. Still, just because it teas sentimental, senti-mental, he wanted it. . " ;,So again, he ..groped in. the trunk and found .a broad bracelet of hammered Iron,, silver-inlaid with Kufic characters; He took it out, looked at it, a boyish, rather self-cpnsdous , smile curling his lips - v -1 7 . v;.i- He '. remembered the first occasion occa-sion on. which he had worn it. Remembered how, '"; as - Terek el-Medjahiri, el-Medjahiri, the Syrian Arab, he had joined the dervish Lodge of the Bi Hassanyieh;, passing -with aching: limbs - and fear-chilled heart through the initiation ordeal of fire and water, of steel, and rope, of scorpion and snake; had thus become a member of the Lodge and learned its secret passwords. pass-words. . It was or, ratherr had been a Moslem society, admitting both men and women. For years it had been powerful in Central Africa; had, finally, become too powerful. Fox its leaders had beguij to mix, politics with the religious and mystic ites. Relying on the superstitious su-perstitious .awe with which the Negroes regarded them, they had taken an active interest in anti European intrigues. So the French government had stepped in. The Lodge had been declared illegal. Many of the members had been jailed and more exiled. And when, some weeks earlier, on the eve of his departure,' Lincoln had conferred in London with General de Gaulle and Winston Churchill, he had been giveria mass of confidential information in regard to the equatorial equa-torial colony which he was to rule whom-to trust and whom not to trust, Whom to flatter and whom to threaten, whom to bribe with gold and whom .with honors and whom oh, yes! to liquidate, if heed be the Bi Hassanyieh had not even been mentioned. . The Lodge, no doubt of it, had been - dispersed. . Its power was gone. It was today no more than a pale memory Still,-;; here was its talisman, the iron bracelet; and why shouldn't he wear it? So he slipped it on his wrist, He extinguished the lamp. Cau tiously he left the room, the house, walked out into ! the street, - lost himself in the dense; trooping shadows cast by. the Mosque ol Swords. . " Once more, for the last time, he would dip into the secret river of Islamic life; would forget, for the space of a few hours, the crushing burden which . Fate had put upon his shoulders. fmmi I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaMaaamWaaaaaaaWa 4s"" M 11 v n tuu( viiuw v. (MaJor Robert Going on in National Ailairs J e t f t WASHINGTON Real Inside fact about the row between Jesse Jones and Vice President , Wallace was that the Vice President cleared his vitriolic statement with Ms chief in the White House before hurlinsr it at the President's Secre tary of Commerce. Actually, the President did not see the press release which the Vice President prepared for the newspapers. But ho did know all about it. Henry went to see him on Saturday, June 26, and told him in detail how he had labored patiently with Jones and how month after month, Jesse held back and' quibbled - over details. The Vice President also told his chief how Jesse had been up on Capitol Hill lobbying with with Senators to try to undercut the President's own order making the Board of Economic Welfare supreme over Jesse Jones in ordering strategic materials abroad. He told how he had exercised all sorts of patience, but believed the only thing to do was to blast Jesse publicly. The President listened, gave the Vice President Presi-dent .the green light. Wallace also sent his statement to the Office Of-fice of War Information before giving it to the press. He followed all the rules meticulously. The Office of War Information even sent the statement state-ment on to the White House with its OK, before it was published, though it was sent merely for White House information. The President did not reaa it in advance. Note: Wallace has cooperated with the President Presi-dent in almost every move he has made since 1940. The two men work as a team. Wallace even consulted the President before issuing a statement blasting Martin Dies, and he didn't have to be a mindreader to have known how little FDR Joved the Dies Committee.

Friends say he is bitten bad, fancies himself as an independent, mid-west, farmers' candidate can-didate for the vice-presidency next year. Chester is definitely on the outs- with the two other vice-presidential possibilities. He and Vice-President Wallace used to bo close friends. For years Davis served under enry when he was Secretary of Agriculture.

The basic ration of meat for normal uss was 400 grams at this time last year. But now the ration" has been cut to 250" grams which is about half a pound per week, including fat and bone. An effort is being made to compensate this reduction re-duction by the substitution of cheese and groats, (hulled and crushed oats or wheat.) During the winter, however, it was reduced to 300 grams. In the spring the cut was partially restored, when the ration was moved up to 85XH grams, recognizing recogniz-ing the necessity of more nourishment with the coming, of the season of greater military activity.
