In spite of all the Sergeant's mothering, our

him off as no one had ever dared do, and
because he couldn't knock her down he looked
sort of hurt and bewildered.
The queer thing about Walt was that in
spite of his size, he wasn't clumsy. He was
quick on his feet and the crack shot of our
division When they chaired him at Bisley
as Kings Marksman with perfect score, the
village decided to be proud of him and met
him at the station with a band. Amy came
nearer to accepting him that day than at any

Walt at bayonet practice made even that

The only part of soldering that got Walt

and heavy for them. Anyhow they were poison

ALWAYS READY

One question frequently asked in these anxious days
is: care the railroads ready?"
And the answer is 'The railroads are ready to meet
any emergency short time Assistant Secretary OF
War Johnson observed that the American railroads are
ALWAYS in a state of national Defense. There no
wishfu thinking in that statement it from full
knowledge of the railroads have done, working In full
cooperation with the government to prepare against any
demand that may conceivaby be made upon them.
The railroads and the Army and Navy Munitions
Board have worked for number of years to make plans
to meet emergencies as they may arise These plans to
quote Secrary Johnson again. contemplate change IN
the american way of getting things done They do not
involve any emergency super-contros, government
operation The of the plans is that the railroads
shall be run regular way with the various interest

In 1917 when government took over management OF
the railroads as a measure chaos resulted in the
transportation structure At time there many

Under the present plan, that will not happen again.
Freight will be ordered needed and railroad will

Today the railroads have bigger and better cars big

said recently, "The railroads repeatedly have handled
more freight than they did in 1918 with fewer and
engines than they had them and have done without de-

Don't Skimp
With the Nails

Skimping on the number Of nails
in house construction means in
creased maintenance costs. 1t re-
duces labor costs, but not enough
to be worth while Skinny mailing
is apt to go with other skimps,
and is an unfavorable index of
quality of workmanship.
Three twentypenny nails to each
joist through the header is the
common practice in well-built
houses, according to the U. S.
Forest Products Laboratory, Madi-
son, Wisconsin. In most com
munities some houses will be
found with only two nails to the
joists but that is not the practice
of the majority of builders ana
the adequacy of such mailing IS
questionable. An additional nall
adds little to the most but greatly
to the strength of the joist.
Two eightpenny nails through
each side of the studding to the
plate are common. The use OF
fewer nails to stud is question:

ing boards, subflooring, and roof
sheathing to the framing is almost
universal practice for boards un-

may specify the desirable nail
spacing, but too frequently the
builder cuts down the mailing ana
much of the bracing action of the
wide sheets is lost.

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY Bob Merkley

One of our most cherished, and
probably silliest. pastimes is try
ing to find somebody to blame
things on. No matter what goes
amiss, somebody did mt do right
by us, and we would like to catch
the dirty so-and-so in a dark al
ley. The pet complaint We have
today is that we are not any too
well prepared to protect our
country. Who did that to us Who
let our guns get rusty? Why didn't
they tell us these things and get
us ready for what was coming?
Well. it's pretty plain when you
stop to look at it. Who could have
sold us on the idea OF arming
fifteen years ago, ten years ago,
or even five? In fact, we were not
interested in such things until
Just a few months ago. But now
we want guns and plenty of them.
and somebody should have had
them ready for us.
We are a little hysterical now.
Things have happened a bit too
fast for us. 1t has been mighty
nice just drifting along, thinking
that we had everything in the
world We could ever use. We have
been sleeping, and suddenly we
have come to realize that it is
time to get up. But let's not turn
the table over in our mad rush to
shut off the alarm.
In Washington there is almost
no talk of anything but the situa'
tionin Europe and what it means
to us. Everybody is nervous. Peo-
pie are wondering what is going
to happen They gather in little
groups and discuss the darkest
possibilities that may be awaiting
us.
Congressman Murdock told me
that his greatest reason for want
ing Congress to adjourn is to stop
the hysterical outbursts that are
going into the Congressional Rec
ord. Many of the Congressman are
working themselves into a lather
over the situation, Mr.. Murdock
says. and the Record proves his
point. Still, it might do more
harm than good to let some OF
those frothy fellows get out where
they can talk directly to the peo-
pie.
But this worry and anxiety will
not last long. Just as soon as we
are sure what we are going to DO,
we will settle down and do 1t.
Then everybody will be busy, and
when we are busy we are happy.
There is every indication that
those poor devils over in Europe
are not nearly as scared as we
are.
What are we afraid of? We have
more resources than any nation
in the world. We at least think
we have more smart people, and
it's a dead cinch we are not
towards. So what is it?
| think | know what it is. wei
are afraid Hitler and Mussollnl
will come over and gobble us up,
but we are more afraid that some
body will make US get out and
pack a rifle when there was mol
need of it. We are uneasy right
now, but our worries will be over
as soon as we decide. That is,
they will be over for everybody
but those who catch hell for the
things that do not turn out right.
