None of these bears searching. In regard to the armed services, it is asserted that only 300,000 fathers will be needed out of some 6,000,000 eligible. This is a number so small that it suggests the goal might be reached through a little harder sifting of inductees already liable, and the question is bound to arise whether the army might not set its goal ahead 60 or 90 days and wait for the coming of age to fill the ranks, if indeed case can be made for insisting reasonable a semi-offici- j $ o p it t fi !

A new mechanic had been trying to think of an effective way of striking John Redd for a larger pay check. Finally he decided on a short note that could not be misunderstood.

However the coffee was too weak to answer. too, throw in the Since Mr. McNutt announced with seemal, they, non-essenti- al sponge. The most substantial and practical way for the people back home to beat the dictators right now is buy war bonds and stamps. It dont even cost money really because it will all come back, with interest. Millions of men are now not only sacrificing money, but their lives, their limbs and their reason to insure our way of life. OLD MAN KAISER AGAIN A lady visitor at one of the busy Kaiser shipyards on the Pacific Coast recently stooped over to tie a knot in her shoe. The next thing she knew a bottle of champagne was broken across her stern and she was launched. GIVE EM AWAY PSYCHOLOGY Fiction is ephemeral. Not one novel in a thousand is read the second time by the same person, usually it is put away on a shelf, along with others like it, there to end its days in dusty silence, unless loaned to some neighbor who forgets to return it. e Most novels are books, but because they cost a dollar or two or three, they are treasured far beyond any real value they may have. Because they cost us money, we have a feeling they should be saved. What are they being saved for? The best place for surplus books is on the well nigh empty shelves of the recreation rooms of our armed forces. And dont send them books you read and didnt enjoy. Send the ones You read and thoroughly liked, so you may know they will enjoy them as much the 10,900,000. As to the West Coast aircraft factories, the real difficulties seem to be (1) that shipyards have a higher wage scale and therefore are attracting aircraft workers, job freezing notwithstanding; (2) the peace scare is causing many to look for more stable jobs, should the war end suddenly. As to eugenics, the story is that the future of the country might suffer if all the on one-tim- best younger men were killed off in war. The sad case of France is cited. This argument can be harpooned by citing some French arithmetic. In the last war France mobilized 8,500,000 men of whom 1,357,000 were killed. Were all the young democrats taken and all the facists spared? Not the least of modern wars sickening cost is the levy it lays on the talents and hopes of young men; but the toll is not directed by diabolical intelligence, picking where it can do most harm to future society. as you did. There are several places in Price where books can be turned in. One of the Sooal service clubs carried on a highly successful campaign for used books to be sent to army centers. There is as much need now as before for good reading material. FourH Girls Style mmsmshmshmsmsms More Coal Firms Are Released To un- Private Owners The federal coal administrator, 369 adH L.
