PREPARATION FOR WORK

Seventy-five per cent Of the
l150,O00 boys and girls who leave
high school or college each year
have not been properly prepared for
work and have no idea Of what kind
OF job TO seek. says the American
Youth Commission.
This conclusion was reached after
a survey recently completed BY the
commission and the employment
service division OF the Social Sc
curity Board. Baltimore. st. Louis.
Providence and Dallas. and the
suburban and rural areas around
each we're the locales Of the study.
The study points out that boys
and girls leaving school have $4,000

commission urges every community

be prevented in men required to
live for a long time on preserved
food, by adding fresh lemon or
lime juice to the daily fare. An
other was the tropical disease,
beri-beri, that Eijkman proved, in
1889, TO be preventable by using
whole rice instead Of milled rice.
One disease everyone recognized
as a deficiency disease par excel
lence was called pellagra. 1t con-
sisted in a scruffiness Of the skin,
especially of the exposed parts
hands and neck. There was a sore,
scruffy eruption on the neck called
the "Casal collar" after the man
who first described it. There was
a sore tongue, and assures around
the mouth, as well as general de-
bility and diarrhoea and other dis
turbances of digestion.
Restricted Diets
All over the world it was found
among people who lived on artifi-
cially preserved foods. Typically,
in the United States it was found
in remote districts in the south
among the cabin folk of mountains
or swamps-those who lived on
coffee and canned beans, and salt
pork, all through the winter. To
see one Of these folk sitting cot in
the early spring sunshine, with his
listless expression and scruffy red
hands and face, you just knew he
had had hard bout with the win
ter supply of corn pone and mo-
lasses and bacon.
But the scientists have had the
most amazingly unsuccessful time
tracking down the special food ele-
ment that causes pellagra. They
thought it belonged to the Vitamin
B group-the cereals, etc. But
Vitamin B they found contained a
number of elements-B, prevented
neuritis. B, was then separated
out and supposed to be the cause
of pellagra.
But very recent and interest
ing development is that lack Of B,
will cause a part Of pellagra, but
not all Of it. B, is chemically iden-
tilted as ribohavin.
Science Makes a Test
Sebrell and Butler produced in

Tor Of the lips, in the angle of the
mouth, followed by maceration,
and the appearance of superficial
transverse assures which some
times extended onto the skin, and
a greasy exfoliation on the skin
folds of the nose and the ears.
These manifestations were re-
lieved by the administration of
synthetic ribofiavin. Nicotine acid,
which cures pellagra, did no good.
1t is believed that riboflavin def
cheney is common deficiency dis
ease in the southern United States.
Pellagra in fully developed form
must be due to the absence in the
diet of number Of food factors.
A substance called nicotine acid,
which is part of Vitamin B, and
can be isolated from plants will
relieve the symptoms of pellagra,
but used alone as an addition to a
deficiency diet it will not prevent
it. Chemically it is not the same
as ribofavin.
Tomorrow: vitamins and Plants.

The break between James A Far
ley and President Roosevelt seems
10 be final
In political circles it is a 2 to ]
bet that the former Democratic ma
tional chairman will not speak in
Roosevelt's behalf in the campaign
now coming down the home stretch
Failure of Farley, as he presided
at the opening of the Democratic
state convention. TO make even one
reference TO Roosevelt is construed
as meaning that there isn't chance
of getting Farley to really put his
heart into the fight to elect Presi'
dent Roosevelt to a third term.
II was chiefly over the third term
that Farley and Roosevelt came 10
the parting of the ways.
Farley. in the past month, has be-
come the silent man in national poll
tics. a field in which. he has been
conspicuous for almost eight years.
He still retains his title as chair
man of the Democratic state COM
) mittee.snd he 5etains his office on
the fourth floor es the BiltmoFe-
a floor below the headquarters OF
the new Democratic National chair
man. Edward j. Flynn.
But. for weeks past, ever since he
stepped out OF the New Deal sd-
ministration to 60 into business.
Farley has refrained from any no.
ticea BILE activity around Flynn's
headquarters. He hasn't taken part
in any Of Flynns almost-daily press
conferences.
Farley has allowed his old-time
friend, the politically-wise Vincent
Daley, TO handle the bulk of Demo
cratic state political activities.
Daley. not Farley, has been the
state spokesman.
Farley. more than any other man
knows the Democratic national set
up. Twice he successfully managed
Roosevelt's campaigns for the
presidency. No Democratic leader
has had wider acquaintance
among Democrats. nor such init
mate knowledge Of campaign tech
nique. TO say nothing Of his army
OF friends.
That Farley is being missed
around headquarters goes without
saying. The place doesn't seem to
have the old feel" Newspaper men
concede that Flynn is smart and
politically wise. But his experience
has been local. whereas Farley's
was national The result may be-
come apparent later. Meantime
some OF the more ardent Democrats
are hoping that Farley's loyalty to
the party may move him to help
President Roosevelt into office for
a third term despite MS conviction
that third term would not be adj.
vissble.
The situation is difficult for Mr..
Farley. It forces him to choose be-
tween party loyalty and what he
believes 10 be for the best interests
OF the nation-continued adherence
TO the anti-third term tradition. His
friends believe he will place the
good Of the people ahead OF party
emotionalism and hope for third
term defeat Such a course will be a
strong testimonial for the patriot.
ism and honesty OF a master politi-
clan.

as to his judgment-oh. wow!
He it was who convinced the
British that the French, at the
previously almost unknown but
now well advertised African port
OF Dakar. were simply dying to
secede from Petainist, Axis domi-
mated France. He, too, 1t was who
led a British-backed expedition to
take charge there. And, as we all
know, Dakar, instead Of welcoming
the De Gaulleist outfit, beat II off;
it had to abandon the stunt as a
bad Job.
The British explain the dzzle as
we'll as they can. They say the
general could have gone ahead and
effected a landing, but didn't want
to shoot up his own countrymen
ashore. This may be true, but the
fact remains that he evidently was
much mistaken as to the frame Of
mind Of Dakar.
The thought also fingers that
maybe the thing really was a De
Gaulleist- British defeat, which has
its moral effect
Disagreeable Incident, Anyway
Washington, being so pro-Brit-
ish, doesn't like this moral effect.
Furthermore. Dakar's Of prime
interest to the Americas.
It's at the extreme bulge OF the
west African coast, nearly oppo-
site to Brazils easterly bulge.
Consequently. if the totalitarians
keep control Of it, through van
pushed France, and II they finally
squelch Britain, it will serve them
as a dandy base Of operations In
the direction Of South America
Of course, this concerns Uncle Sam.
Had Britain gobbled II, Uncle
Samuel would have been greatly
pleased and grateful to General De
Gaulle for furnishing the British
with the idea to pull off the grab.
1t wasn't pulled off, however. and
the generals blamed for promot-
Ing what turned out to be such a
frost 1t was worse than nothing,
indeed 1t merely served to publ
CHE Dakar as an ideal jumping OF
place, for the totalitarian powers,
toward the western hemisphere
assuming that they win the cur
rent war. Not, to be sure, that
they don't know it already, but
there was no use in having General
De Gaulle rub the notion in.
SSH. SSH. SSH.
Washington has another worry.
When President Roosevelt issued
his order establishing national
draft machinery he created what's
known as Selective Service Sys-
TEN Headquarters.
Now, II there's any one thing,
more than all others, concerning
which the administration wants
fullest publicity. it's CONSUMPTION,
from all its angles. Any suspicion
Of favoritism naturally would be
terrible. The traditional goldfish
bowl has nothing on what the ad-
ministration is bent on for that
mechanism.
AL right-the Selective Service
System Headquarters
AS might have been expected,
newspaper head writers immedi-
ately began alphabeticalizing that
system, as they do with all gov
ernmental agencies. 1t follows
