Anaton,y Of the Nails
And Their Physiology

the skin, which in certain respects
corresponds to the hair root. But
the nail is nourished, and perhaps
formed, from all the skin bed u1a-
nerneath it until the point where
it becomes free. The upper sur
face of the nail is smooth, but the
under surface presents a number
Of longitudinal parallel ridges
which fit into similar depressions
in the nail bed.
Reason for Half Moons
Whether the nail cells are I'll
formed at the root of the nail bed
or whether the whole nail bed
keeps forming the nail cells is not
decided, but the nail bed certainly
contributes to the nutrition Of the
nail. If the nail is separated from
the nail bed by injury, it becomes
discolored, cloudy and distorted.
The nail bed and the nail grow OUT
together.
The white spot at the root Of the
nail-the lunula-is white because
the cells there are young and have
not become completely keratinized.
II this explanation is true, it sup
ports the idea that all the nail
cells arise from the root cells in
the skin at the base.
If injured or removed, the root,
matrix and nail bed will replace a
nail completely.
A. nail grows from the root to
the free edge in 100 to 100 days.
The finger nails grow much faster
than the toenails. They grow
faster in summer than in winter.
Children's nails grow faster than
adults.
The nails are, richly supplied
with blood vessels and nerves. The
nerve terminals just below the
hard surface of a nail are larger
than in any other part Of the skin.
Thus while the nail itself does not
feel pain, it is exquisitely sensi-
tive on account Of these nerve end
ings below. Since all the blood
visits, the nails, they are subject 10
all the diseases Of the body gem
eral.

I West having no more spades, it did
not matter which suit he elected to
return, as South's contract was
safe.
Quite a different situation would
have resulted had East allowed the
declarer to win the first spade
trick. For his no trump bids, South
surely held three cards Of the suit,
which would leave West with two
at the most. It was therefore up
to East to allow West to retain one
Of these to return, in case he was
able to gain control Of the lead.
Had East held the diamond A,
there would have been some justifi-
cation for clearing the spade suit
at once, but as his chances of get
ting into the lead were slim, duck
ing the first round was his correct
play.

NOT A SINGLETON LEAD

A GOOD PARTNER seldom will
open your suit against the oppo-
nent's no trump game if he has
lust singleton in it. Counting
him, therefore, for two cards, can
give you a reading on the declarer
which will enable you to let a

you can bring it in later when your

the folly of war, nursed by Jane
Addans' peace organization; belief
that her people didn't want it (she
was the only Republican elected from
Montana in the Democratic landslide,
and her support came from those
who thought she was safer for peace
than the followers of the President);
lastly, the ardent persuaders who
tried to change her attitude failed
to tell her what We were really fight
ing for, specifically, and what the
terms of peace would be.
In those days Miss Rankin really
wasn't an active paciflst. She didn't
turn her energies specifically in that
direction until the Kellogg anti-war
pact was signed and she believed
that, for the first time, war had been
made onlcially and specifically dis
reputable. She believes in that pact.
Not because it has worked, but be-
cause it raised a sign post.
We didn't stop Japan from taking
Manchuria, she says, or Italy from
taking Ethiopia, but We haven't rec
ognized either conquest.
That was one step toward peace
or away from war, she says. Then
we torpedoed the freedom Of the seas
in the neutrality law. That was the
second.
Now, asserts Miss Rankin, we must
change the military philosophy which
is based oh carrying activities beyond
our own borders Abolish the fleet
that is built to tight in foreign
waters; build an Army whose sole
function is defense and not invasion.
"The road to peace isn't straight
road. We must make turn. The
people have the will to peace When
they exeEt it, governments will find

annual convention Of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association, in

nationalism Considerable benefit has
resulted, but it has been dicult to OBJ
tain the following of nations barricad-
ed behind quotas and trade restric-
tions.
Who and what is to blame for this
despairing state? Some believe the
treaty of Versailles was responsible for
Hitler. that it was unjust to impose
upon Germany the reparations and the
admission of guilt. The Americans
strongly opposed these clauses at Ver-
sailles, but the vengeance engendered
by French fears and the spirit of Eng
lands Khaki" campaign prevailed
The German army, some believe, is
the dominating danger to the peace
of Europe and Of the world, and the
narrow, selfish view at Versailles has
reaped its reward of fear.
Others may believe the imperialism
of Japan and the Red and Fascist
relationships are more dangerous than
the Nazi.
But this Is not the day to fix the
blame 1t is, instead, the day to call
upon the peoples of all countries to
pay no heed to warlike rulers. It is
time to practice the civilization we
preach. I will not believe democracy
has failed. I will not believe the peo-
Piles themselves do not want and pray
for peace, that they look forward tc
naught but war.
But their voices must be strong.
They of old, fearing the marauder
pleadingly asked: "Watchman, what
of the night?"
The peoples of today, having passed
through the night of barbarism, should
not plead, but should demand
STATESMEN, what Of the day?"

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April g.
Flood water menaced Southeastern
Alabama today while the South
counted IL killed by weekend wind
and rain storms.
Yesterdays rainfall of to 10
inches over the Central Southern tier
of Alabama counties sent the Conecuh,
Pea and ChoctaWatchee rivers racing
past flood stages and drove dozens of
families from lowlying homes.
Weather Bureau observers said they
were unable to estimate the crests of
the three relatively small streams, but
the inundation of hundreds of acres
of farm land was feared while the rain
load was being carried through South
eastern Alabama and Northwestern
Florida to the Gulf.
Precautions were taken in the
Brewton, Geneva and Elba districts.
A precipitation of II to 4 inches
was the rule from Eastern Texas to
the Carolinas yesterday, while winds
Of near tornado force centered their
attack on Alabama, killing 6, injuring
20, and destroying thousands of dol
lars worth of buildings.
A Sunday squall on the fringes of
yesterdays disturbance caused the
first fatalities when six were drowned
after two boats overturned in lake
near San Antonio, Tex.
Mississippi and Louisiana suffered
scattered property losses in high winds
which injured dozen or more per-
sons
Today's forecast called for less wind
and falling temperatures under clearer
skies, to be followed by an early re-
turn to more normal Spring weather.
Outside of Alabama, New Orleans
reported the heaviest damage, charg-
ing to the Sunday blow some $4,000
loss in felled trees and battered build
ines. Mississippi's Madison and Simp-
son Counties reported dozens of farm
buildings flattened.

1T is terrible thing to lead people
into war" said President Wilson IN
his message to Congress 20 years ago.
But it would have been a cowardly ana
dangerous thing not to lead us into
war in defense Of those sacred liberties
which were so dearly won by the
founders Of the republic. The Presi-
dent chose the honorable and neces-
sary course. He placed himself and
the country, unready though we were
for war, squarely in opposition to the
continued violation OF human and
property rights.
But those with whom he contended
did not believe the latent strength OF
the country could be effectively or
ganized in time to thWart their selfish
ambition for world supremacy. We
were at the time practically disarmed.
Here it may be pointed out that this
noble example, which some OF our
people thought would be followed by
other nations, had made no appeal
whatsoever to the war -maddened war
lords. On the contrary, it had simply
created a condition Of which they were
eager to take advantage.
No leader ever labored more patiently
or more conscientiously to keep his
people out of war than did Presl-
dent Wilson. He made every possible
plea to humanity and advanced every
possible moral argument in insisting
upon respect for our rights on the
| high seas. They we're without avail.

unappreciated too long already. Kent
Island offers unequaled natural ad-
vantages for virtually every month in
the year and we intend to see that

The advantages of the Love Point
section during the summer months are
obvious. We have an excellent bath
ing beach, better weather conditions,
on the average, than the sea-shore
resorts, plus the important advantage
of easy accessibility from Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia. What
we intend to do now is to help tour
sists discover how delightful Kent Is
land is in the early spring and late
fall. Fishermen and hunters from this
section of the country have known
these things for many years. Now
we plan to make Kent Island known
from New England to the Mississippi.
