Why They Are Mum

Now remember that virtually all the
udmirals believe In battleshlps, and
regard alrplanes, for the most part, as
mere adiuncts. And remember that
q given percentage Of younger officers
In any grade must be passed over in
the selection processes. And 1t be-
comes clear why very few young avia-
ton enthusiasts In the navy speak
their minds In public. They cannot
afford to antagonize the men who will
be passing on their eligibility for pro-
motion.
But if worst comes to worst In the
Mediterranean, the ability or the air

No New Taxes

President Roosevelt has definitely
decided that there are to be no new
taxes until after election. There airs
two motives for the recent budget
statement attacking critics and say
ing there is no need for new taxes.
l. Politics. The President has
learned of the increasing tax con
seriousness OF the ordinary citizen, and
of concern even by farmers as to
where the money would be coming
from to finance the New Deal. He IS
also concerned about the worry OF
business over tax prospects. For ex-
ample. he has been told that one con-
sideration holding back investment In
| new enterprises is the play safe at
| titude of rich men who are not willing
to gamble when the government prom
lses to take so large proportion OF
the profit IL they win. but does not
| HELM on losses II they lose. Change In
| the income tax laws, which permit de-
duction OF only $1,000 for net losses
In one year. is part of this.
2. Soldier Bonus. The President
laid great emphasis on the point that
this happy situation Of no more taxes,
despite gloomy propheses by critics,
can be attained only If there are no
/ new expenditures. He was hitting di-
rectly at the soldier bonus, and at
courts which will pass on the process
ing taxes.
He can play both reasons at the
same time in January, when the bonus
comes UP In congress, by using the
fax consciousness Of the people rs an
argument to congress not to override
his certain veto Of bonus legislation.
Present study Of the available fig
ures indicates that. the President Is
"holding OUT about half Il billion
dollars, which will be unused on July
next, and, as congress provided for
the availability Of the four-billion-
dollar fund for two years, this half
billion can be used In the fiscal year
beginning on that date.
But nobody thinks this Will be
enough for that fiscal year. Experts
all agree that no upturn OF business
within reason Is going to absorb all
the three and half million men who
are to be on work relief projects
Hence there must be another work re

Nav Have to Choose

But the point Is that Roosevelt Will
be forced to choose unless the ltalo-
Ethiopian situation clears up most I'M
expectedly, between two OF those pol
fefes. He may choose freedom of the
seas, and insist on Americas right to
trade with Italy even If the league
proclaims a blockade under the guise
Of sanctions. Or he may choose CO.
operation to preserve peace.
The first would lead to an extreme
" dangerous international situation.
It might easily involve the United
States in war. Even the contention
that we had the right to trade with
Italy would put this country In curl
Gus and difficult diplomatic hole. For
It would be contended by league mem
bers that their action would force
peace very shortly-that Italy could
not possibly coHtinne her aggressive
| war IL bloekaded--cut off not only
| from supplies from abroad but from
supplying her forces waging the war.
| Hence that the action Of the United
/ States would be the one thing that
made possible the continuance OF the
| war the world Is SO anxious to avert.
To take the other course would
cause vast resentment among those
| anxious to see the price Of cotton
boosted, and the surplus OF cotton
which has been hanging over the
market since the Hoover days, sold at
a profit
III this seems unlikely, one has Only
to remember 1915. Great Britain put
cotton on the black list She knew It
was being used to make explosives
| But even before this official act she
was interfering with shipments. so
Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia made
long prepared speech coming very
close to demanding war against Brit
ain. on the side Of Germany.
1t was in reply to this that Senator
Henry. Cabot Lodge, referring to the
Lustania commented that "a dead
baby floating on the water Is more
poignant sight to me than an unsold
bale of cotton"

Primary Needs

Many of the foods which cost
most are least important from
the viewpoint of nutrition, and
achieve their market value on
a basis of taste. Good cooking
makes simpler dishes appetizing,
and the appetites of all OF us
should be less artificial in their
demands.
Furthermore, any woman &C.
tually unable to buy the simple
foods which her welfare and
that of her unborn child re-
quire should take her case to
the nearest welfare or relief
agency. She IS performing a
service to society. and it is JUS
tice rather than charity that
society should meet her primary
needs.
I believe that this feeling is
general. think that any desti"
tute wife should not hesitate to
go to a public or private welfare
organization and say:
81 am going to have q baby.
I haven't money enough to buy
the food 1 need for the baby
and myself. 1 must have fruit,
vegetables, whole cereals, milk
and a little meat-the doctor
SAYS so. Will you help me?"

I cannot imagine a relief

And, as I said, I do not think
she should feel Inundated at
having to make the request,
especially in times like these.
Every woman will fight for
her baby. She should begin
the fight, if necessary, before
the baby comes into the world.
But the world has a soft spot
for babies, and a growing con.
viction of how much good
babies and good mothers are

Avoid Rich SWeets

If she shops as a careful
housewife she can satisfy her
requirements and those Of her
unborn child by buying the
most plentiful and therefore the
cheapest foods in the different
groups. She does not need
either tea or coffee-although
she may drink them in modera-
ton. She is far better off with
out alcoholic stimulants.
She ought to avoid rich and
expensive sweets, desserts and
made dishes. The important
thing is to keep the right bal
ance between the different food
elements-raw vegetables and
cooked ones, coarser bread
stuffs and fruit, with plenty Of
milk and with meat or fish
Cheap cuts are satisfactory
not oftener than once a day.
Women on farms and in the

are especially fortunate in that
the foods most necessary for
them as expectant mothers
should be most inexpensive and
easiest to obtain.

everybody or are given away,

Relief
BY JULIET SHELBY

June Lang, another beauty
Of the younger Hollywood set,
likes to manicure her own nails
and keep them prettily tinted
in soft rose or flesh shades.
I wouldn't believe it until I
tried it, but it saves time to do
your own nails and to touch
them up a bit each day instead
Of running for a manicure the
afternoon before the night you
want to look most ravishing.
At first I was simply stumped
when it came to applying the
liquid nail polish. My hand
shook, and the brush wiggled,
causing my fingers to drip with
uneven color.
But after a little practice I
soon became adept in removing
one shade Of polish and apply
ing another. And from that
time on change my nail polish
almost as frequently as I
change my outfit.
So it is with a definite delight
that I have become acquainted
with a new cream remover for
nail lacquer. It just makes the
manicure still more simple. Ap-
ply it to your nails as you would
q hand lotion, let it set for a
fraction of an instant and 10!
you can remove even the most
glaring coat Of polish!
It has only a very slight odor.
which is a relief after using
some of the liquid removers.

"He cometh not"
The washington papers re-
Gently told Of Miss Neill James,
an ex-Government clerk, still in
her twenties, and q college
graduate, who has typed her
way around the world for the
third time.
Earns Her Way
The idea of making her
stenography and typing pay
her way round the world oc-
Cured when she was in the
War Department. One day she
took up a Government map and
picked out the farthest-away
place in the United States
Seattle, Washington.
She succeeded in getting a
transfer to that city. Her next
move was to Honolulu, where
she resigned from the Govern
ment service and took a job
with an ice company.
Seeing the ships leave for
Japan started visions Of the
Far East. This time she landed
a job as a newspaper CORE"
spondent.
Her story would take too
long to tell, but country by
country she succeeded in typ
ing her way round the world.
The other day she turned up
in Washington, smiling and
full Of amusing adventures.
This was her third circling OF
the globe.
She Succeeds
Not long ago I had q highly
diverting letter from a graduate
nurse. who told me that nurs-
ing and seeing people die had
wrecked her nerves. She had
been out of the hospital eight
years, but being capable, a
group of doctors kept her busy.
However, she began to hate
the work and felt herself on
the verge of a breakdown.
Her savings bought a decent
car. She learned to drive and
took a special course in me-
chanicS. to be able to manage
minor breakdownS on the road.
Then she advertised for passen.
gers to drive to different parts
Of the United States.
She was very careful to look
into the references Of these
people and made her selection
from women, or parents with
children. She loves this work
and for several years has been
most successful in doing it.

ance, who had only a high
school education and was most
