What Are German Women Getting Out
Of Nazidom's 'Clory?' Asks Mil]ett

They are told to have more and
more babies, Who will, in a few
years, be taken from them and
nodded into the necessary parts of
a war machine.
Since the influence of the home
has been suppressed in favor of
the influence of the state, women
have lost their real Importance in
the world.
They have but one function that
is recognized as important - the
function of breeding.
Il * y
Living in a War Machine
Their men have no real time for
them, belonging as they do to the
state. And if a woman loves her
husband, she goes through all the
agony that women of any country
or race go through when their men
are off at war, facing death.
They haven't even the consola-
ton that comes from thinking
When this war is over-then there
will be peace They are living,
not in a country, but in a war
machine. And if their country
should win this war-it will only
mean another war later.
Yes, they are dopes - because
they have let men take away ev-
erything that matters to women
and give them nothing in return. /

CCC CAMP TO 60; WAR
PLAN DiSPLACES IT
(Oroville Mercury-RegiSter)

Feather Falls CCC camp is to be dis
continued permanently.
This is one OF 273 such camps that
will be closed. We are spending our
money on ornaments for war this year
instead of for rehabilitation of the youth
of the nation.
The camps are to be closed on recon-
mendatiOn of President Roosevelt, who
cut the CCC budget. Seventeen of the 273
camps are in California.
AS we say. the government is going to
prepare for war, and if war comes the
boys will be killed anyway. so why worry
about making fine men out of them?
The expenditure for war is disguised
under the word defense" Yet every
one knows that we are not preparing for
defensive war We could safely wait a
while to prepare to defend our shores
against an enemy. but if we are going to
be in position to help settle the European
war or enforce our will on Japan. then
We'll have to hurry our navy and air
force along at high speed. and that is
what we are going to do
Now. the whole nation is back of any
necessary move to defend our shores
against an invader, and good share of
the nation believes that if Germany
should beat Britain and France and seize
the British navy the time would come in
about years when Germany would have
recovered enough to be pointing its next
conquest directly at us.
There are, however, few indications
that Germany will be successful. If Ger
many does succeed. then will be the time
to get ready for war at home.
But the President sees it differently. or
lets on that he does. We suspect that he
was rather hard pressed by his oppo-
nentS who point out all the time that he
is breaking the country by his spending
program. He may have said to himself,
This is getting bad, so for next year I'll
shift from just sending for relief of the
forgotten man to spending for defense.
and that will be more popular Possibly
that isn't what he said. Maybe it was
Pm going to get all ready and at the
proper time I'll help smash Hitler, and
maybe Japan, too. Then I'll be a war
president and the first one to serve three
terms" He thought one way or the other,
it's a cinch, but we don't know which.
At any rate, he is sacrificing the most
worthy part of his spending program for
war plan and we don't like it.

THE BEST STUDENTS
{ Nevada State Journal)

Students working their way through
school or attending by means Of scholar
ships make better grades, on the whole,
than those whose way is paid, says Dean
Belle Coolidge of Sacramento Junior
College, Much the same thing has been
said by educators at numerous other col
leges. At least those who work their way
through have been able to hold their own
in grades with those who have had no
reason to worry about finances.
One Of the reasons for high type OF
scholarship on the part of those paying
their own way wholly or in part is. as
Dean Coolidge points out, that such stu
dents are more conscious of the value
of an education, more likely to take ad
vantage of every opportunity offered
them. Not only must they go through
the physical and mental eXertion neces-
sary to master the subjects they are TAX
ing, but they must also devote part of
their time in school and possibly all of
their time during vacation periods to pay
ing the price of their education. That
which one must strive hardest for often
is most highly priced.

The LIGHT APPEARS
THROUGH FINLAND'S GLOOM

Russia may have lost more than she
gained by the peace treaty with Finland,
after all.
She gained territory. a naval base, and
scant natural resources.
But she lost the chance to exercise
physical domination over the entire Scan
dinavian peninsula.
Finland is seeing the silver lining, now
that Sweden and Norway are negotiat-
ing a defense alliance to protect the
Scandinavian nations against any aggreS
sion.
The Russo Finland war is over.
1t won't happen again.
The next time Russia attempts to send
troops into Finland, if there is next
time, she will have to fight Sweden and
Norway as we'll as Finland That means
she will have to fight France and Great
Britain, too-for Sweden and Norway
refused to allow allied troops to cross
their countries only because they did not
want to become involved in the war.
Finland, a nation proud of its free
dom. can be expected to erect new Man
nerheim line on the new Russian frontier.
1t will have to be longer, broader line,
harder to defend But. if it has to be de-
Tended, Finland will have Sweden and
Norway fighting with her.
Had Russia prosecuted the war just
ended she might have gained control of
all Finland. AS it is, she gained control
only of small part of Finland-and she
provided new antagonists for herself
should she wish in the future to expand
further
Finland is not beaten, but only rest
ing. Within her new frontiers, she can
be expected to keep the fire of democracy
burning-and this time she is sure of help
if it is threatened.

Among
Our YESTERDAYS

Highway contractors were a bit
warm under the collar 20 years ago
in Ell Centre when newspapers blast
ed high figures asked for valley
road construction. One account
read:
New York states highway costs
are reported by Frederick Green,
commissioner of highways, to be
much less than the prices asked
of Imperial county in the bids re-
covered Monday and rejected in
toto by the board of supervisors.
Not only are the New York costs
much less but the type of pavement
is vastly superior The figures are
based on nine districts of the state
and include six types of paving 49,
On the same day a rival news
paper to the Imperial Valley Press,
the Ell Centre Progress, since de-
ceased, carried this equally hot
item:
The board of directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district has held
several conferences over the false
and sensational reports published
in the Imperial Valley Press re-
garding water conditions One dir
ector at a recent meeting took oc-
casion to approve the articles pub
lished in the Progress, while an
other declared the Press should be
sued for libel, as its reports have
tended to depress the value of dis
trict bonds.
THE district has been notified
by the bond houses of the west
coast that the Press articles have
made it impossible to dispose of
additional bonds at the present time
and bankers have urged the board
to suppress the unfair and sensa-
tional stories which have no foun-
dalton.
The district may soon find it
necessary to sell another bond issue
and false reports with glazing head
lines may cost the valley several
million dollars, the board was in
formed"

Willis Thornton
Says:

No one knows just how theS
things happen. but every once in a
while the most innocent set of facts
gets jumbled up and energies as a
national legend without a grain OF
truth.
Take the case of the Memphis,
Tenn. dog pound, for example.
When the building was first erected
in 1896. with the aid OF WPA. the
story got around that the place was
SO luxurious that Memphis canine
population was openly inviting APP
prehension by the dog-catcher Just
to share the penthouse comfort OF
the new pound and to enjoy the
shower baths which were supposed
to be part of the project.
Memphis tried hard to stop that
But the story. with embellishments
kept popping up, Just the other day
il reached the halls of Congress
hen representative referred to
southern ladies bringing their poo
dies in for shower baths at the $50
900 pound.
The facts? First of all the place
cost only $4,000 with WPA putting
up $4,000 and the city $4,000. And
there are no shower baths. except
the garden hose used on badly soil
ed inmates. Since the dog shelter
was opened, there has not been a
single death from rabies; although
during the three years prior to the
opening, six deaths were recorded
The number of PaSteur treatments
for rabies. costing ST each. has de-
clined from $50 in 1885 TO 65 last
year
The classical example of false
hood that received wide and o11lclal
recognition was H. l.. Mencken S
wartime story of the origin OF the
bathtub in America. The tale was
conjured up in the famous author
mind on a dull day. Scientists olo
research on the basis of it, wrote
scholarly treatises. Plumbers uSeo
the story in advertising and speakers
accepted it as gospel.
1t was not until three years ago
that Mencken chuckled a little ana
admitted the whole thing was a
hoax. The story, however, Will pro-
badly live on for years.
If you're thinking of starting q
fable you'd better consider well pc
fore YOU start whispering.
