Miss Fixit painted an old desk

some enlarged snapshots that she
wanted to hang over the desk but
she also wanted to repeat the blue

she decided to make blue vel

TRAINING

As an Illustration of snap judg-

Presidents approval after having
read "only the first paragraph" of
a New York Times editorial, saying:
THE time has come when, in the
interest Of self-protection, the Amer
lean people should at once adopt a
national system of universal COM
pulsory military training"
Later on the editorial said:
I'VE believe that it should be so
drafted as to provide training not
only for young men but for older
men as we'll"
So do I. but in 1918, we had regis
tered for. or actually in military
service, Is, 348, 900 men between the
ages Of 10 and As. Since then our
population has increased 30 per cent.
Presumably we now have at least
SO, 600, 900 in that class.
Setting out to train SO, 0O0, 900 men
would be absurd and preposterous.
OF course, many of these would be
exempted by reason Of physical dis
ability. or dependency Of others, or
by reason of industrial necessity.
The number is impossible to COM
pute until we know the liberality or
%strictness of the exemption rules.
If we decided to train all the classes
that were in 1918 classified as fit and
eventually liable to military service,
the total would be more than 10, 000,-
900.
Obviously, the writer Of that edi-
torial did not mean universal COM
pulsory military training" It would
be destructive, impracticable.

MUSSOLINI

Allied and Roosevelt diplomacy
struggled behind the scenes until
almost the last minute to keep Mus
solini out of war.
1t was on a Monday that the Ital-
ian dictator shouted his hoarse-
voiced proclamation of war. And
as late as the preceding Saturday,
the French were still dickering with
him. At that time they offered him
the island Of Corsica, birthplace of
Napoleon, as well as the important
African colony Of Tunisia, plus
French Somaliland with its Red Sea
port of Djibuti.
But Mussolini wanted more.
Real fact probably was that he
could not afford to antagonize Hit
Ter by failing to declare war. A
Nazi victory looked too certain, in
which case Mussolini would have
been left facing the triumphant and
%resentful hordes Of Nazi Germany
just across the Bremen pass.
Note-A lot Of people think Mus
solini will face an aggressive Nazi
army anyway.

OIL TO ITALY

Italy's entrance into the war has
at least one harmful effect upon
her ally. Germany. It means the
end of U. S. oil shipments to Italian
ports for trans-shipment to Ger
many.
These shipments, especially of lu-
bricating oils, have been heavy since
the first month of the war. With
Italy at war, however, U. S. ships
are barred.
This will stimulate Axis efforts to
open up oil resources in the Near
East, and Italy is sure to make a
drive for the British and French
oil fields in Iraq. Or getting through
the Suez canal, she will strike at the
oil fields Of Iran, under control, Of
the Anglo-Iranian company.
Meanwhile British oil shipments
from these sources will be diverted
from the Mediterranean route, and
the result probably will be a heavy
increase Of u. S. oil shipments to
Britain and France.

The Better Way to

cine chest, If you can do it by a

prevention?

arms had more behind it than he
disclosed. Inside fact is that this
constitutes one of the most serious
problems facing the government
in its war against fifth columns.
Following the World war. one
armament company alone disposed
of IS, 600 Tommy" guns to private
purchasers after trying unsuccess-
fully to sell them to the army. About
10, 900 of these deadly weapons are
''unaccounted for" How many are
in the hands Of potential fifth col.
umnists the government, under ex-
listing laws, has no way Of knowing.
Jackson's proposed statute would
provide the power to find out.
Another unmentioned factor trou-
bling officials is the tremendous in
crease in the sale of guns and am
munition in the last two years. Tax
collections by the internal revenue
bureau give the following figures on
this astounding traffic in our
peaceful country:
Total sale of taxed firearms. rifles.
shotguns, pistols, revolvers, to pri-
vate persons in 1888 $24, 959. 048; in
1939-$36, 010, 684.
In the past three years these sales
reached the amazing total OF $97,-
403, 730-which is almost one-fourth
Of the army's 1887 appropriation. 1t
is also vastly in excess Of average
sales for sporting purposes and law
enforcement.
Note-The U. S. is far behind 9TH
er powers in regulating firearms.
England, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan all have drastic laws on the
private possession Of weapons. The
national firearms act Of 1884 i'm
posed a limited regulation on the
sale of machine-guns and sawed-off
shotguns by requiring manufacture
ers, dealers and pawnbrokers to reg
lister sales and transfers. But the
many thousands of these lethal
weapons sold before 1894 still are
unaccounted for.

DOGS, DOG OWNERS,
AND RABIES

Death for one or more persons may be
wandering about the streets of Ell Centre
today.
1t can be prevented by one of two meth
ods: quarantine of all dogs in the dis
trict, or close cooperation by all dog
suspicious signs.
There is hardly a neighborhood IN the
city where, during the afternoon hours,
you cannot see children of all ages play
ing with dogs of all kinds and classltlca-
tions. Normally the relationship OF the
youngsters to their pets is a desirable
one.
But occasionally situations arise which
are not normal.
We have no intention of adopting an
alarmist attitude We do not want to
orer-emphasize any danger that may
exist But for the sake of the children.
and for the sake of those dogs who are
faithful members of many families in Ell
Centre, we wish to urge extreme watch
fulness in days to come.
During the last few days two extreme
cases of rabies have been reported IN
this district In at least one case, the
rabid dog is known to have covered
wide area. How many other dogs he at
tackled, there is no way of knowing. Peo-
pie can talk. They can tell when they
have been bitten. Dogs cannot. They de-
serve the intelligent care of their masters.
One rabid dog can spread infection to
literally hundreds of other dogs. One
rabid dog can cause the death of per-
son, or at very least make necessary an
extremely expensive treatment to pre-
vent fatal consequences.
1t is a matter of common sense to
guard against the dangers inherent in
rabies There is no epidemic" of rabies
here We would. rather prevent one than
to battle against it after it arrives.

SCREAM BOMBS OF PEACE
Nevada State JournaD

Nevada State JOurnal)
The scream bomb which has produced
such a terrifying effect in the current
European war was described recently by
Wesley Edwards, industrial psycholo-
gist, as a scientific application of that
nerve-wracking noise which is part of the
everyday life of Americans German sci
entists, he asserted, have for years been
studying the devastating effect of noise
on the human nervous system.
In the scream bomb, he said, they have
applied to war what Americans are in
advertently practicing in a lesser degree
daily in industrial plants, in offices, on
streets of cities and even in homes.
Americans have lesson to learn from
what the German psychologists have
done. We are not at war, but despite that
fact we permit conditions to prevail
which have in some degree the effect of
war The increase in the number of ner-
vous and mental cases in our hospitals
is held by Mr.. Edwards to be proof that
our type of scream bomb warfare" is
having its effect in our more or less
peaceful land.
From time to time, city authorities
seem determined to cut down noise and
proclaim an anti-nOise week. But noise
abatement weeks, save insofar as they
make people conscious of the need for
quiet, do not solve a problem that is with
us potentially all the time and actually
almost all Of the time.
Along with our defense program, we
ought to seek to eliminate factors dam
aging to the health and nerves of our
citizens. We could we'll direct our con-
tinued efforts to elimination of needless
noise.

The WAR COMES
DANGEROUSLY CLOSE

The latest disaster to German ships
in American waters carries with it impli-
cations that may bring Europes war
closer than ever before to our shores.
AS this is written, no one has definite
knowledge whether it was British or
United States warships that caused the
failure of four German merchant vessels
which attempted to slip out of the Tam
pico, Mexico, harbor for a dash to their
motherland. One of the ships was de-
stroyed by fire, the engines of another
were crippled, and two others fled back
to the safety of the harbor.
The crews of the ships saw some war
ships. That is pretty well established.
Maybe they We're British warships on
blockade duty.
Or maybe they were United States
warships on patrol duty.
At any rate, evidently the Germans
thought they were British ships, and SO
scuttled one vessel, suffered damage to
another, and raced back to safety with
two more.
There is no indication that the war
ships, whether British or of United
States registry, made any threatening
movements. But, Nazi diplomacy being
what it is, the Germans undoubtedly viii!
insist that the warships violated interna-
tional law.
And, should it be established that the
warships were of the United States navy
even though it was simply the jittery
nerves of the German crews which caused
the debacle-Berlin undoubtedly would
regard the incident as direct affront-
possibly an act of war.
OF such things are war made.
If we are to remain at peace, we must
look these things in the face, realize
their implications, and do all we can to
offset them.
