we can't get away with hitting and running.
We know that it's not only more courageous

Evening star., 1939-07-23

I've found out the truth, from psychologists.
The trick is to train yourself throughout life
to think Of the other fellow first to get to
know the feelings and viewpoints of others 50
we'll that they become subconscious part of
your own feelings and viewpoints. Then,
when the crisis comes, you will still blindly
obey a self-defense instinct But the self to be
saved will include also the fellow who has
been hit
know a man who is general manager of a
big business organization. Some months ago q
department head complained to him about
the work of key man under him. The mana
ger discharged the man. Recently he found
out that there had been no reason for the
complaint except jealousy on the part of the
department head. He had discharged cap
able man. The man was still out of work. The
manager could have taken him back. But the
managers consciousness did not extend to
the other fellow. His impulse was to protect
himself from any admission of error. So he
let it ride And mans career went on bleed
ing to death.
1t takes constant daily practice to train
your instinct to stop you 1t requires thinking
of the other fellow in all your contacts. putting
yourself in his place, saying to yourself, Nov,
how would feel if we're in his spoto" You
have to make not running habit, and the
habit has to be built up on the little hits,
when panic isn't strong enough to numb your
will power. Then, if you have the bad luck
some day to hit another man and injure him
seriously, you'll jam down your foot in
stinctively. SIS
But you'll step on the brake instead of
the gas.

Educating ToDrink

WE informed that the liquor industry is about to
launch publicity campaign in small town and
weekly newspapers This means of advertising is sup
posed to bring good will in the small towns of Amer
lea.
There are lot Of papers which will refuse the ads,
although advertising is their means OF making the
wheels of the presses 60 round. Other papers Will
print them as intended, for educational social eco
noic and political sides of the liquor question, by the
liquor industry Perhaps this will harbor good will,
again, it may stir up distaste.
1t seems that the art of drinking is really gift
and not case of intemperance when conducted in
the right manner Today when advertising is the
main means Of selling product, the advertiser tires
every ingenious way to unload his product. The age
of camouflage has been given setback, however,
for more often the manufacturer and producer finds
that "honesty is the best policy" after all.
We shall see what is to be offered by the liquor IN
dustry to clear up problemthathas always been an
dustry to clear up problem that has always been
an important issue, creating enemies among friends,

The Kaiser And Dictator Hitler

IF the United States should be so unfortunate as to
be drawn into another European war there would
be an entirely different feeling toward Germany than
existed when the World War broke out
In 1914 the American people were not hostile to-
ward Germany. In the initial days of that conflict
Americans were divided in their sentiments toward
the central powers and allies Many admired the Ger
for their early successes, their quick march to-
ward Paris, etc.
AS the World War progressed and Germany sank
American vessess, causing the United States to join
the allies sentiment changed
Today the American people are almost solid in
their hatred of Germanys ruler-the arrogant Hit
ler-and in the new war they hope and pray for vic
tory for their allies in the first world war-Brtan
and France.

The court has ruled that the act has not relation

child Some states have ruled otherwise through their

The symbol of our flag is symbol Of our liberty,
and is the liberty of religion closely linked to the
flag But by the act of the salute, does the school
child deny his relgion Does he repudate the faith of
his Father by giving allegience to his country?
It is through the waving of that flag that the

TOTAL CHURCHES 24S,41O

NEW YORK.-The total member
ship of churches in the United States

ton Service, official weekly publica-
tion of the Federal Council of
Churches Of Christ in America. Of
these So. 379. 579 are more than Is
years old. The total number of
churches in this country is 248, ,410.
There are 200 different religious
bodies.
These and other church totals
were assembled by Rev. DR.. Her
man c. Weber, editor of the Year
Book of American Churches, who is
considered an outstanding authority
in the United States on religious
statistics.
''Dr. Weber has been working
for a number of years with the As
sociation of Statisticians of Amer
lean Religious Bodies to improve
the statistics of religion" said a
statement issued at the headquar-
ters of the council, 297 Fourth ave-
nue.. Every effort has been made
under his direction to insure accu-
racy and compatibility and the fig
ures represent the most adequate
and reliable material now availa-
ble"
DR.. Weber's figures show that the
membership of the churches in the
United States increased twice as
fast as the population in 1887. The
increase in church membership was
about 100000. The number of
churches in 1897 increased by 1,743.
Significant of the trend toward
church unity is the fact that 97.3
per cent of the total membership is
in the so larger bodies-an with
membership of $4,000 or over" the
statement announced. 1.-The small
bodies, approximately 160, account
for only 2.7 per cent Of this great
church population. Moreover, the

reduced by mergers and disappear

TO SERVE TEMPORARILY

The New Castle County Depart
ment of Elections effected tempo
rary organization at Wilmington
last week a few hours after the
measure creating it became a law,
returning control to- the Republi-
can Party. Walter G. Tatnall, Jr.,
named in the bill as member,
was elected temporary president,
and Thomas E. Peeney was elect
ed temporary secretary. Both are
IRepublicans. Mr.. Tatnall's term
as a member of the now defunct
Wilmington Department of Elec-
tions expired two weeks ago. Mr..
Peeney had been secretary of the
Wilmington Department since
1880 until the Democratic majority
replaced him with John J. Con-
way, Democrat, Tuesday night,
April 4. At the same meeting,
Leroy Hawke, Democrat, was
named president, succeeding Mr..
Tatnall, who had held the office Of
ce four years. Former-State Rep
resentative Sigmund Schorr had
been named by Gov. Richard c.
McMullen to succeed Mr.. Tatnall,
but his tenure was only from April
4 to Friday afternoon. The
three Democratic members of the
new department, all holdover
members from the old department,
did not vote in the temporary or
ganization and did not offer any
opposition candidates. On the
question of the qualifications of
the registration officers and assist
ant registration officers for the
registration day, the majority
group regarded the officers ap-
pointed by the old board last year
for two years as legally qualified
officers. The new act, it was felt,
does not affect the registration Of
ficers' status. The act provides
that the new department organize

Court. The members are, as stip-
uIated by the law: Mr. Tatnall and

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The high cost of eating is un-
doubtedly one of the most import
ant reasons why many of us do
not eat sufficient quantities of the
protective foods. However, the
less we have to spend for foods the
more important it becomes that we
know how to buy the best food at
the least possible cost and that we
know how to prepare what we
have bought in the way which will
best preserve the original food
value.
The buying Of cereals is one
place where the clever housewife
can buy more food value for less
money than the one who is less
well informed. Dark uncooked ce-
reals are by far the most econom-
ical in every way. White cereals
not only cost more per serving as
a rule, but also have lost valuable
minerals and vitamins during the
refining process. Dark uncooked
cereals are an essential part of the
shopping lists of the woman who
is trying to feed her family well on
a limited income. The ready pre-
pared cereals may be just as good
for us as those which we cook in
our own kitchens, but they are
from three to five times as expen-
sive.
Dried prunes and apricots are
particularly desirable since they
provide minerals which our diets
commonly lack. Bought in bulk
they are a valuable but economical
addition to any diet. Apricots may
seem to be more expensive when
we buy them, but we are not pay
ing for any pits in pound of
them.
The most economical way to
prepare vegetables is to use them
raw. The most careful cooking
will destroy some of the precious
vitamins and MINERALS. Many
vegetables such as turnips, cauli-
flower, carrots, onions, cabbage,
and greens are delicious when eat
en- raw. Indeed, some of the best
hotels in the country have been
featuring such things as raw spin
ach salad on their menus. The
wise and economical mother will
teach her children to like raw veg
etables alone, or mixed in salads
and sandwich spreads.
Economical cooking Of veget-
ables includes cooking in min
imum of water for as short time
as possible. The water in which
the vegetables have been cooked
should be used in such things as
gravies, sauces, and soups.
An illustration which I saw
sometime ago showed woman
holding a large basket of groceries.
Half the bottom of the basket was
gone with the groceries falling
through. The headline above the
picture was Lady, you have a
leak in your market basket" The
truly economical housewife will be
very careful to see that there are
no leaks in hers.

spider monkeys have no thumbs,
