Suffering of an IInChOScn Fate

Berlin (Cable)-Ration Cards Be-
fore a gun was fired or soldier had
moved into enemy territory, Germans
felt the full pinch Of a war economy
of the sort they had not experienced
until almost three years after the
World War had started. Germany has
had it's daily living placed on a ration
card basis. Full details of the plan are
not yet known, but it is fact that the
system Includes all food stuffs as well
as wearing apparel. Imagine having
your meat consumption curtailed 25 Go !!
Competent authority has stated that
no one can long endure the rationing
system without serious impairment to
the health.

WHAT NEXT?
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Science has now attained the
greatest accuracy the world has
ever known with machine which
measures to the 1,0O0,O00th part
of an inch. Called the "profilo-
graph, it employs a magnified
beam of light to record micro
scopic variations in size, and is
used in the laboratories of the
Timken Bearing Company of Can
ton, Ohio, to check the precision
of its testing gauges. These
gauges insure an accuracy of
1/1O,O0Oth of an inch in the man.
ufacture of the company's tapered
roller bearings. To picture the
minuteness of the milliOnth of an
inch, imagine human hair split
into 5000 equal parts. One part
would be approximately equivalent
to a millionth of an inch.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutchet Out
The Truth
LUCKY NICKY
Q KNOWS NOT OF WAR
. LABOR TAKES STAND
. FINGERS. BURNED ONCE

Second World War is not worrying
Nicky the gray squirrel.
Nicky has other things to worry
about.
Such as an ample supply of nuts and
lodging Mr.. Hawk and certain old
tom cat who has declared never-ending
war on the squirrel tribe.
Supply of nuts is good now, being
provided by two children who are
tickled pink to have Nicky take nuts
from their hands.
Nicky is wise in the ways of hawks
and cats and has no particular trouble
in lodging them.
So he doesn't really worry about
predatory birds and animals. After
all, he gets healthful exercise in keep
ing away from them.
X X X
AS for the second World War, Nicky
has not heard of it.
He doesn't read the newspapers and
has no radio. His squirrel neighbors
are in the same boat. The war doesn't
bother him.
Happy Nicky!
Think of the arguments he avoids,
the anxiety he is spared, the time he
saves by not reading or listening to
war news and propaganda.
1t gives him time for worthwhile
pursuits, such as frisking in the tree
tops and sunbathing stretched out flat
on top of a broad limb.
Though the wars Of man do not
bother Nicky, he has had some war
experience.
He is a war veteran, in fact. A nick
out of one ear (hence his name) indi-
Gates he has known combat.
But Nicky didn't encounter any
poison gas, bombing planes or subma-
rines in his warfare.
He fought in conflict waged by
tooth and claw, civilized when COM
pared with the war methods of man.
Americans can't enjoy Nicky's hap
py state of ignorance on the war.
They're bound to be aware Of it.
So far, however, most of them are
taking it coolly.
They are keenly interested, but it
hasn't crowded everything else out Of
their minds.
They are going about their business,
talking of their jobs, their families,
their friends, their social activities
the things nearest to them, as always.
They apparently are not worrying
unduly about Europe.
This state of mind can't be pleasing
to the propagandists, busy at attempt
ing to line up Americans fu7 active
advocacy of one side or the. other.
Most Americans, whatever their pref
erences (and they have them) don't
want their nation to have any hand in
the bloody struggle.
They know that Europe's problems,
if solved at all, must be solved by
Europe. They are through with at
tempting to bring justice in that dis
tressful continent.
Organized labor isn't leaving any
doubt as to where it stands on Ameri
can involvement in Europe's age-long
quarrels.
Labor Day addresses reiterated la
boris firm determination to oppose any
American intervention, beyond media
ton efforts.
William Green made labor's position
plain.
"There must be no European en-
tanglement and no involvement in Eu-
ropean wars" Mr.. Green said.
Everything indicates that he voiced
the sentiment of the vast majority Of
the American people.
The people burned their fingers once
in the European fire and it will take a
lot of arguing to get them to do it
: again.

LONG LABOR CONTROVERSY
IN BRITAIN ENDED

London OLNS).-The twenty years
controversy between the Engineers
Union and the employers over the in
PRODUCTION of unskilled or semi-skilled
labor into skilled jobs has been tenn
porarily called off to enable the arms,
aircraft and ship-building plants to
almost double their number of work
ers.
1t is estimated that 350,000 skilled
union engineers are engaged on arma-
ments and similar work. The intro
duction of diluted labor" will be con-
trolled by local committee of the en-
ployers and leaders of the union and
any difficulties will be referred to a
national joint committee.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

For those whose memories run back
to 1914 and the headlines of those Eek
ira" days the headlines Of today bear
sharp resemblance. The present war,
more modern in character, has stream
lined many of the procedures of past
international war etiquette. Formal
declarations of war are out of style.
Formal and sufficient warning of sub
marine warfare has in part been con-
sidered unnecessary. New terminolo-
gies have been listed. Attack now be-
comes contact. Offensive takes the
intriguing name of extended defen-
sive. Outside of these and other non
essential details we have a modern
version of the World War pattern
with news reports substituting the
names of younger generation and a
change of locale from the Balkans to
Poland.
Basically this war will be like every
other war-hate, bloodlust and death,
misery, starvation and famine, destruc-
ton of lives, property and hope for
millions, retreat to the barbarities of
the savage, and finally a temporary
peace to recuperate and build up re-
serves for the next war.
Insanity rules the day. The world,
it's civilization and culture faces re-
treat and even destruction. The damn
ing nature Of war insanity is it's power
to spread and engulf all in it's fury.
X x x
We in America are not immune to
war insanity. In fact we constitute a
perfect breeding ground for the infec-
ton. AS nation our sympathies are
strong for the cause of the democratic
nations in Europe With very few ex-
ceptions we harbor a deep and lasting
dislike of the Nazi government OF
Germany. We detest Hitler more than
we hated Kaiser Bill of 1914.
With these sympathies and hates for
foundation we as a nation constitute
natural" for propaganda. Propa-
ganda for both conflicting sides. Eng
land, France, Poland and their allies
will dig in deep to mold our opinions
and direct our actions. Germany and
Italy are counter-atacking the democ-
racies on the propaganda line in the
United States. We stand in a cross
fire.
X X X
Hitler is confiscating all short wave
receiving sets in the Reich. That may
soon be judged as Hitler's biggest
mistake of the war. Hitler might be
able to snatch all the radios in Ger
many equipped for foreign reception
but he can not confiscate the German
imagination.
1t is an axiom that people can i'm
agine far a bove and beyond mere mat
ters of fact. What the German people
imagine might be coming over the ra-
dos that they no longer have will be
far more harmful to Hitler's peace of
mind than the actual programs spon-
sored by England and France.
Add that imagination Of the German
people to the smoldering resentment
in Germany against the Nazi control
of brute force and you have the max
ings of high explosive. Hitler may
soon be fighting on three fronts, front
yard, back yard and inside, climaxing
a finish much more startling than the
beginning with the unannounced invas-
ions of Poland.

WORLDS FAIR

A ALTHOUGH the New York Worlds Fair did not
attract the huge crowds too optimistically eX-
pected by Grover Whaen and his aides the first
couple of MONTHS it has excellent daily attendance
and will set fine record the week-ends.
1t is truly the greatest of all shows and is ex-
pected to be even improved when it reopens in
1910.
The pottery display has been extremely popu-
lar since opening day. The potters have displayed
their skill to interested audiences the whole day
Through. More important, the manufacturers are
agreed that the Fair has increased business and
that even greater results are coming.
This proves the wisdom of the Brotherhood
officials in advocating real advertising campaign
for the products of the American potter. 1t also
proves they correct in believing that the Fair
was the place to advertise.
Undoubtedly next year will find the potters
making more friends and customers as they
continue their show in New York.
1t is this constant alertness in every possible
direction by the officials of the N. b. of O. p that
makes the organization strong and insureS the flu
turc of the members.

More States Add Cigarette Tax

Chicago, Ill.-With new laws in
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, and New York this year, the
taxation Of cigarettes now produces
revenue for rs states, accordiny to a
report by the Federation of Tax Ad-
ministrators. Each of the states levies
2-cent tax on standard package of
20 cigarettes. Ten other states have
the 2-cent levy, seven have a Scent
tax; three have Accent tax while Ar
kansas collects 5 cents on each pack
age.
