Who Won the War?

Since when in the hell did the
Allies need the assistance Of
American troops in winning the
war, as Fred Paisley says in one
Of those articles on the costs Of
war?
Germany was licked in 1915,
when her submarine blockade
failed. It was only a matter Of
time after that until German
troops and civilians would have
surrendered, lacking food and
supplies.
Proof Of this fact: # italy

would win, she would have

say that if all the automobile

this statement in the newspa-

for the moment, I questioned
her authority to make such a

MIR. KRUETGEN'S plan to
AVA boost the receipts of Mr..
Farley'S post offices comes at a
time when the boys and girls
going through school ana col
lege, the housewives who are
after extra Christmas money,
those poor folks who can't get
work, but who have too much
pride to go on relief, and in
brief all sorts of hardup people,
have begun to interfere with my
sleep in the morning and my
drinking at night. They get
their fingers on the bell-and
then their feet in the door. All
they want to do is sell me Christ
mas cards.
What I am wondering about
right now is the effect of what
you might call governmental
greeting operations on the reg
ular greeting card business. Is
the latter going to raise hell or is
it going to 60 along? Personally
The Washington times., 1938-10-12

think it should climb on Mr..
Farley's and Mr.. Kruetgen's
band wagon and ride to bigger
and better things.
Mr.. Kruetgen wants all Of US
because he plans to work his
chunk Of your heart" business
out of every postoffice in the
country-to remember with a
stamp and a return stamp every.
body we have forgotten as far
back as 10 years ago. These lost
threads of friendship, or love,
or acquaintance, or just old fash
ioned loathing-the Kruetgen
plan calls for a healing of old
sores-will pile on top Of the
contacts made from then up
till now.
MY THOUGHT is that the reg
AVA ular greeting card people
can get their wares into these
Kruetgenized stamped envel-
opes and thus rise from the state
of being just pests to the stature
Of nationwide pestilences. The
Chicago postmaster lists a few
of the people who should get
chunks of your heart. Among
these are the family doctor, the
old school teacher, the guy who
used to tend bar at Mixes in pre-
prohibition days, (try and find
HIND, the bird who borrowed
ten dollars ten years ago, the
girl who Tilted you in your senior
year, the wife you married and
deserted. They're all Farley.
Kruetgen fodder.
Mr.. Kruetgen suggests spread
ing your message of sweetness
and light on an ordinary piece
Of paper. That is where the greet
ing card people should come in
with a brand new set of poems,
messages, bright thoughts. en-
dearillg words Instead Of merely
having-aS is the situation now
days set aside for honoring
almost every conceivable sort Of
relative in the human set-up,
the Kreutgen plan opens up a
tremendous new field. There
will be a special card and special
message for Mike, the bartender,
Pat, the cop, Rufus, the lawn
mower. on Bartender'S Day,
Policeman'S Day and Lawn
mowers Day.
And if Mr. Kreutgen, by thus
broadening the field, brings
about a new school of greeting
card poetry he will deserve a
monument or Michigan Avenue.
Any change would be an i'm.

Auto Ambulance

Although heavy auto travel
is almost over for this year.
there still will be many nice
days when hundreds Of thou
sands of automobiles will travel
on the highways.
Along the automobile high
ways, ambulances should be sta
toned at strategic points, as a
reminder and a warning that
automobiles should be driven
carefully and safely and obey
traffic rules and regulations.
