Army Recruiting Drive Opens

The biggest Army Recruiting drive
since Immediately after the World
War is under way. Every Army
Post in the United States will send
out selected noncommissioned officers
to canvass neighboring communities
for candidates to swell the ranks of
the regular army from its present
strength of 118,750 soldiers to the
newly authorized figure of 10000.
General Douglas Macarthur, Chief
of Staff of the Army, has explained
the additional 1920 enlisted men to
be obtained under the grant of $780,
100000 voted by Congress, will double
the actual fighting strength of the
army.
At the army recruiting station at
Cumberland, and other recruiting sta
tions Throughout Maryland, Virginia,
and the District of Columbia, inten-
sive efforts will also be made to en-
list qualified men as art of the re-
cruiting campaign of the Baltimore
District Recruiting Service.
Major General Robert E. Callan,
Corps Area Commander at Baltimore,
announces that 1900 men will be
sought for army units stationed in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
and the District of Columbia.
In addition, 1885 recruits for for
eign service will be enlisted at once
and after being assembled, will be
shipped to Fort Slocum to await sail
ings on army transports from the
Brooklyn army base to Panama and
Hawaii.

THE LONG SUFFERING
MOTORIST

The motorist is a helpless victim of
taxation because there is no practical
substitute for gasoline.
For almost any other commodity the
consumer can use a substitute.
But when it comes to gasoline, it's
pay the tax or stop driving.
The states started taxing gasoline
moderately" but, as with all special
taxes, the gas tax soon became exor-
bitant.
Then the federal government decid-
ed to take its pound of flesh from the
motorist.
Motorists have it in their power to
demand reduction of exorbitant gas
taxes, including the actual repeal of
the federal gas tax.
They also have the right to demand
that gasoline taxes be not used for
other than road purposes.
When taxes run from rs to so per
cent of the retail price of any article,
as the gasoline tax does, it is high time
to correct the abuse.

CONFIDENCE MUST PRE-
CEDE RECOVERY

"If business confidence could be ad-
ded to the enormous accumulated
shortage of goods and CONSTRUCTION
waiting to be made. up and to great
supplies of idle credit seeking invest
ment, we should have recovery in this
country" said Colonel Leonard P.
Ayres, vice-president of the Cleveland
Trust Company, in recent issue of
his monthly review of business.
Colonel Ayres might also have said
that the basis of confidence is security
and that is exactly what the coun-
try lacks. Fear of high taxes, fear of
sitting legislation, fear of political
domination of industry-these and
similar fears are creating insecurity,
and are an unsurmountable barrier
to the return of confidence.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the
nearest thing the country has wit
messed in the way of revival of lost
confidence followed the Supreme
Courts historic decisions on the NRA,
the Railway Pension, and the Frazier
Lemke mortgage moratorium cases.
Business leaders, investors and the
public at large felt again that the
Constitution still lived, and that its
safeguards still protected them. If
We could now have an assurance from
high official sources that the govern
ment will abide by the spirit as we'll
as the letter of these decisions, and
will attempt no more experiments at
the expense of the already overbur-
dened business, there w6 uld be real
wave of conference.-the recovery
would follow in its wake.

These questions, he believes, are all
closely related to ones philosophy of
life, or way-of-thinking, for ones
philosophy of life largely determines
health and happiness.
"a tense philosophy keeps your
body tense. And tensions, if unre-
lieved, lead to illness. A restful philos-
ophy, on the other hand, makes a re-
Taxed body, and relaxation is a sure
aid to health. ....

continues, "is going on the scrap heap.

We must build ourselves for this new
world, as we'll as we build the fac

machines that we need. The philosophy
that will help US to fit readily into the
changed environments may be summed
up in the three words: Take it easy!"
