Modern is drab and callous an under taking that there is natural instinct to read TO- mance into the dash Of the British liner Queen Elizabeth across the North Atlantic to New York hsrbor and sanctuary.
 We hope We don't detract from the glitter of the feat by pointing out that it was impelled by plain caution rather than by heroic gaantry. The British did not risk the biggest ship afloat in a submarine gantlet to prove that Britannia rules the waves or to show that they could duplicate the Bremen's run earlier in the They simply wanted to gsG the Queen Elizabeth out of harms way-out of the path Of German bombers with their eyes peeled for just suc large and tempting targets.
 As turns out. England will be pardonably proud of the success of the voyage and Germany will ieer at the fact the unfinished vessel took it the lam. Everyone will be pleased but New York authorities; the Queen Elizabeth brought them a fresh cargo of worry.

 This should be a lucky day, for benefic aspects rule. The morning hours are most promising for workers and presage much activity, especially for those employed in shipping enterprises. Executives of all sorts are under stimulating in- fluences. The Moon enters Virgo, sign helpful to orderly progress.
 Heart and Home: Women will benefit today in the pursuit of routine duties. Girls should strive toward serious vacations and self discipline. The seers warn that modern modes and manners mean future difficulties. Although reac- tionary forces are evident, there will be many broken homes due to lack of domestic efficiency and the desire for pleasure in many forms.
 Business Affairs: Young men and young women will be in de- mand all through the spring as old employees are displaced and retired. Prosperity will stimulate enterprise and expansion. New in ventions will cause the creation of novel undertakings which will be rapidly accepted.
 National Issues: Pension move ments will continue to make pro- gress. Elimination of men and wo- men of experience from active work is to have serious results in the slowing down of certain manu- featuring industries. Small salaries for beginners will cause large loss es. Washington will be burdened py protests affecting trade unions and labor policies. Changes in the Cab inet are forecast.

MEDICAL CARE SHOWN INADEQUATE

STARTLING evidence of the tragic lack of sys-
tematic and adequate medical care in the
United States is being revealed again by the young
men volunteering for the army. First Lieutenant
ID. H. Drummond of the Army Medical Corps de-
clared in New York that he had to turn down 80
per cent of the recruits from the Metropolitan New
York area because of physical defects.
According to the Herald Tribune, Lieutenant
Drummond said that ''he was too young to be able
to compare the applicants with the World War
soldiers, but he asserted he could not imagine how
teeth, for instance, could be in much worse shape
than were those of many Of the volunteers. Some
Of the young men had almost no teeth left, he said.
Poor vision, weak feet, ShOrtneSS bad ears, under
weight or overweight were other defects.'
The situation revealed is all the more Distress
ing since, according to Lieutenant Drummond al
most all the men he examined believed they were
in good physical condition or they would not have
applied for enrolment. The seective service sys-
TEN will bring in many with organic disorders and
will undoubtedly result in an even greater proper
tion Of rejectons the army official concluded.
Confederation of Lieutenant DrummOnd'S find
ings was given by Colonel H. Is. Magruder, recruit
ing officer for the entire 2nd Corps Area, who dis
closed that over long period of time only one out
of every three army volunteers from New York
City and one out Of two from rural areas are found
acceptable physically by the army physicians.

ARE YOU A PACK RAT?

WHEN it comes to accumulations of useless odds
W and-ends which are found in profusion in
many homes, here's an excellent motto: Burn the
junk up--before it burns you up!'
A good many of us have characteristics of the
pack rat. We hate to throw anything away. Old
clothes, old magazines, old furniture, even old
newspapers-a go into informal storage in attic
or basement or closet. They may stay there fol
years, collecting dust and mold, with nothing dan
gerous happening. Again, they may not-fre
which feeds on such accumulations, may find them
And then all your possessions, no less than the
junk, may go up in smoke.
Once or twice year it would be an excellent
idea to make little tour Of your home to ferret
out such hazards. Charities will be glad to have
old cothes furniture and reading matter Any
thing that is useless can go to the junkman or be
destroyed in the incinerator. Be especially alert
in going through workshop and garage-it is a
common habit to leave cans Of paint, varnsh and
other infiammable liquids open. Cleaning rags
should always be kept in closed metal containers
Spage of gasoline or oil should be at once mopped
up.
Perhaps your home is free of such dangers. If
it is, it is very much the exception. The chances
are that hazards exist Of which you know nothing
hazards that can be easily eliminated once dis
covered. Look for them now. Don't pull it off
until tOmorroW-for tomorrow could be too late
Fire can strike tonight as easily as next week or
next year

KEEP STEADY, THERE

THE progress of national defense is a continued
story with a new chapter every day. The mar
rative indicates daily growth in the volume of pro-
ducton in many lines of industry and private busi-
ness. The demands of buyers for many products,
goods and merchandise increases. "Better Busi-
ness Bureaus" in many localities of the country
have soft -pedaled "Buy Now" campaigns for the
reason that such movements may force artificial
demands, and price increases for household neces-
sites.
moderate increase in prices is expected by
the U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Economics, which
has not discovered any serious indications of
profteering movements up to date A lot of apple
carts were upset in business during the World
War.
TO the credit Of the major political parties it
is evident that the leaders are attempting to keep
finance, economy, industry, agriculture and other
activities in steady motion, with watchful eyes to
detect any artificial movements that would produce
temporary booms and prove harmful to regular
processes of our national life.

GIVES VIEWS AT MEETING
ON APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING

Columbus, O. QLNS).-Ways and
means of promoting apprenticeship
training in the skilled trades through
cooperation of labor and management
were discussed at luncheon meeting
of the Ohio State Apprenticeship
Council here.
The council agreed unanimously
that an intensive campaign should be
made to bring the need for sound ap-
premiership training before all en-
ployer and labor groups in Ohio.
Council members representing man.
agement, labor and public agencies
are planning to discuss the work of
the state council with their respective
groups for the purpose of encouraging
the development of opportunities for
young people to obtain training that
will equip them for profitable employ
ment and citizenship.
Labor representatives on the council
are: Walter A. Grammar, former presi-
dent, Typographical Union No. 3, Gin
cinnati; Clarence Frank, International
Association of Machinists, Columbus;
and Ross A. Boggs, president, Colum-
bus Building Trades Council.

THE HEADACHE CITY

THE actual responsibility of keeping this country
at peace, or drifting toward war; rests on
Washington. Even the people who live in the
National Capital are not entirely sure about what
some Of the greatest leaders in the Government
may do in the next series Of emergencies. While
the talk is all to the effect that the energies of
Government are backing national defense it is
pretty easy for anybody to understand how some
over act committee by Germany, Italy or Japan
might precipitate trouble with the United States
Everyone remembers how one difference after
another strained the relations between the United
States and Germany before the World War, so
that the sinking of the Lusitania was the last
straw that broke the back of peace.
The United States is involved in the protection
of good deal of outlying territory which our Gov
ernn1ent says shall not be invaded by conquerors
Of nations that have previously held these possess
ions and colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
Many Members of Congress are afraid to de-
sert their posts in Washington and go home to at
tend their campaigns. The reason is obvious.
That's why Washington is the city of headaches.

GROUP MEDICAL SERVICE

(from the New 7 Ork IlmeS)
A local union of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Musicians has made ar
rangements with the Manhattan Gen.
eral Hospital to render medical SER
vice to 1000 INDECENT members and
their dependents, total Of 5000. The
New York County Medical Society
warns in its journal of grave conse-
quences to the working people of this
city and the medical profession" sees
trouble ahead both for physicians and
hospitals in "cut-throat competition"
and raises once more the familiar
question of free choice. What the union
is doing is sensible and practical
enough, provided the hospital OBJ
serves proper medical standards. Con-
tract medicine is now widely intro
duced in this country in certain in
dustrial and mining districts, where it
often meets real need.
Both the American Medical Associ-
alton and the American College of
Surgeons keep more or less watch
full eye on hospitals, approve some
and disapprove others. If these two
organizations perform this task salts
factorily, both the union and the pub
lie will hear soon enough of any
deficiencies.
The day is not far distant when
some form of public medicine will be
instituted to aid families with incomes
of less than $1,000 a year. In order
to tighten the heavy load which that
innovation is bound to impose, efforts
like that of the local musicians union
should be guided and supervised by
county and state medical societies and
not opposed. Organized medicine has
it in its power to place contract medi-
cine, medical co-operatives and group
practitioners on sound scientific and
economical basis.

THROUGH Assistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold, the Department of Justice has eX-
pressed the view that agreement between a
local labor organization and employer in the
building industry to establish weekly wages in
place of daily or hourly wage rates does mot con-
fct with the provisions Of the antitrust laws so
long as they tend to promote rather than restrain
trade
Arnold said that the antitrust laws specifically
exempt concerted labor activities which serve the
objects of labor by reasonable means and that reg
Iularization of employment based upon greater vol
ume Of business at lower labor costs was "obvious-
ly legitimate"
Many of Thurman Arnolds views on labor
matters have met with the vigorous opposition of
union workers but they will heartily approve his
views on weekly wage agreements. BY every in
dcation, it is based on the law of common sense,
(which is supposed to be the basis of all statute

DEFENSE TRAINING
From American Federationist)

(FrOm American FederatiOnisD
ABOR holds that training in work can best be
AN acquired on the job and under work conditions
Management and workers know how to map out
training fundamentals. Management's approach
is from that of getting production within time
limits in accord with quality and quantity stand
ards, and within estimated costs.
Labor's approach is based on handling ma,
terials, using tools, following work orders for the
purpose Of getting the product specified by stand
ards within time limits.
Supplementary education needed to understand
the JOB and to work and live effectively is the re-
Sponsibility of vocational education.
