TRAINING YOUNG MEN
TO FACE LIFE

One thing beyond all others has been
overlooked in the selective service pro
gram to conscript young men Tor MN,
tary service throughout the Unlted
States. 1t is this:
The compulsory military training pro-
gram will do a world of good in over
coming the defeatist attitude which has
led a great percentage of the nations
youth to believe that they've got to start
at the top or not at ALL 1t Will teach
obedience habits of work and coopera-
ton to many young men who hitherto
have known only selfish laZlness, Joo
Sinking and work dodging.
The unfortunate economic and social
trend during recent years has encourag-
ed young people to believe that the world
should be theirs for the asking, that they
should he able to step out into a top
ranking job first grab out OF the Dag,
and that they must make hundred dol
lars a week or more in return for their
labor.
Military training will knock lot of
those ideas clear through crooked nat
into oblivion.
A Young chap can't peel potatoes and
dig latrines at $50 per month under the
belligerent eye of top sergeant and
still hang on to the theory that there is
no such thing as work In the world. he
can l salute plilk-Idceu ShaNSsail iieu
tenant every time he turns around, and
learn to answer "sir' when spoken to,
and still cling to the idea that there is
no such thing as discipline.
He can't become the kind of soldier
the army intends to make of him., and
still be the personification of discomfort
that so many of our young people have
come to be.
And by the time he gets through with
the year of service required of him under
the draft, the average young man is liable
to decide that a civilian job delivering
groceries at beginners wages is not so
tough, after all, considering that 1t car
ries with it the chance for advancement
that is inherent in all private industry.
If compulsory military service awak-
ems young America to the economic and
social facts of life out of rosy dream of
Utopia, the draft will be worthwhile for
that reason alone.

Eloquent Andre Maurois is in this
country appealing for France. She
could not have a more effective
advocate.

a right to it, as she lost every
thing in the service of freedom

IRELAND HOLDS OUT

"We have our ports and we do not
intend to give them back"
With those words Irelands premier,
Eamon DeValera this week voiced the
determination of Fire that Great Brit
ain shall not be permitted to use bases
on her coast to operate against German
naval units.
Americans have sympathized for years
with the battle of Fire for independence
from British influence, but in this in
stance we cannot help wondering if this
might not be repetition with variations
of the fable in which the dog, seeing his
reflection in the stream, dropped bone
from his own mouth in an effort to
snatch what he thought was a larger
bone from the mouth of his reflected
image.
Fire has her independence-but how
long will she keep it if Great Britain
loses this war?
1t seems to US, simply as a matter of
observation, that the Irish would do bet
ter to cooperate with Britain, and thus
hold on to the independence they have
under British influence, than to see Brit
ain lose and thus surrender all freedom
under German domination.
Ireland is not strong enough in arms
nor men to fight either Britain or Ger
many. There is no danger that she will
have to fight Britain There is pressing
danger that she will have to fight Ger
many, which might attempt TO use Ire
land as back door" for an invasion of
the British Isles.

HOUSEKEEPING
PHILOSOPHY
Nevada State JournaD


This lis the time of year when the LADY
of the house puts on the uniform OF the
anti-dirt army and proceeds to clean the
house. According to ancient tradition, IL
was formerly a sad time for husbands.
They were prone to stay Out OF tne mouse
as long as possible. If they had lunch
con at home they probably had to con-
sumo it on the back porch.
Husbands have not always been able
to see what it was all about, The house
perhaps looked the same to their dull
ewes after the battle as it did before,
unless the furniture has been all chang
ed around and it generally is. But to
the keen vision of the housekeeper the
rugs looked brighter, the tracks of dust
had gone, and the windows once more
admitted the light of heaven unfiltered
by dust.
1t is we'll that American women have
this tradition of cleanliness. If the male
sex had equal standards, there would not
be so many back yards looking like the
town dump AS for the women, they
have inherited the principle that homes
have to be kept clean. 1t is an ideal
that results in the destruction of disease
carrying germs. Applied in the kitchen
and elsewhere, it produces food that is
safe to eat, and it disposes of refuse IN
the most healthful way.
So the men can i'll afford to jeer at
the traditional rites of housekeeping.
They had better take hold and help, in
stead of skipping out of sight whenever
a rug needs to be beaten. Anyway, mod
ern methods of house furnishing make
these housewifely tasks far easier than
they once were.
After the wife has finished these tasks,
great is her satisfaction that a tradi-
tional ceremony has been we'll perform
ed. Then she is ready to go to the Wom-
ans Club or the Ladies' Aid Society and
hear discourses on how the nation should
be run or the church financed.

HOLLYWOOD. Nov. 8. Behind
the screen: Lots of devices are
used to get around censorship rul-
ing's, but there never has been any
thing like q picture Universal Is
making. The heretofore -demure
Virginia Bruce will be seen taking
off all her clothes right in front OF
the camera. She'll do it several
times, too-and without opposition
from the Hays Office.
Trick is Miss Bruce has the title
role in a modern fantasy called
The Invisible Woman" when
she removes her clothes she be-
comes invisible. Peels off a stock
ing, and her leg is gone; sheds her
neutrality-suspicious. and that part
of her has disappeared-and SO on.
Technically startling, but not IN
the way to interest a burlesque
audience.
Another picture on the spooky
side will be Metros, "Headless
Woman" Such unreality some
how reminds one of a plaintive
remark by Harry Brandt, head of
a theatre owners association; An
exhibitor is a fellow who buys films
he doesn't want from somebody
who hasn't got what he's trying
to sell. who pays prices he can't
afford and then plays the pictures
to audiences which don't attend

not merely to his country's fighting
forces, might we'll be national objec-
tive The reasons are almost obvious.
A study prepared by the National Foun-
dation for American Youth and made
public by Gene Tunney, its chairman, in
cludes a number of constructive sugges-
tions
Unless the draftees eventually are
drawn into the army for long service,
including battlefield experience, it is not
likely that conscription will result-as
the Foundation seems to fear-in either
a new "bonus army" or widespread un-
EMPLOYMENT, such as followed the World
War. The Conscription Act provides for
unemployment of draftees after train
ing periods. 1t would be well, however,
with the Army and civilian agencies CO.
operating, to increase the educational and
vocational programs so that every man
''can look back upon his service as year
of progress and advantage instead OF
sacrifice in Mr.. Tunney's words.
Gene Tunney was in the service him
self, and, moreover, he is acquainted with
the value of learning and the difficult
ties of self-education The study of the
Foundation recommends courses in citi-
zenship. Even the Nazis realized the
value of this by taking recruits about
to historical places in the Fatherland. If
conscripts gain only year of vocational
or classical training it will be helpful.
Certainly the country should do some
thing more for the boys who are being
put into uniform than pay them dollar

Bruce Cation
In Washington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The
U. S. Navy is pretty cagy when 1t
comes to telling about the progress
of construction work on the new
advanced post submarine and arr
plane bases which we're recently ac-
ouired from the British. 1t is not
at all loath. however, to remark
that getting them fixed up prop
erly is going to take a lot OF time
and money.
So far. Secretary Knox has ad-
mitted that work is under way on
three of these baSes-Placentla
Bay. newfoundland, and Bermuda
and Trinidad The navy will be able
to make some use OF these bases
in a few months, although 1t Will
be two or three years before the
finishing touches have been put
on and everything is shipshape.
It's easy enough to see why the
lob is so long and so costly Wheh
you start itemizing the things that
have to be done.
PLENTY
OF PROJECTS
To build a medium-sized base
for submarines and seaplanes, you
must first have a harbor. II the
existing harbor isn't good enough
YOU have to dredge it and buud
some ietties and breakwaterS. Then
YOU start on the shore facilities.
There have to be underground
concrete tanks for the storage both
of aviation gasoline and of fuel OIL
for the subs. Then there must be
runWays and hangers Tor the sea-
planes. plus a small machine shop
for seaplane repairs, plus store
house for spare parts.
Down by the water there's got
To be a pier for the submarines,
and the pier must have an over
head crane for servicing the craft
There must also be a rather eX-
pensive distillation plant to pro-
vide the 100 per cent pure dis
titled water for the subs batteries;
and if your islands natural wa
ter supply isn't Okay, you've got
u IldNt diIObtliA Ni'biA4fS+SA IS+-r+.
for drinking water.
There must be submarine re-
pair shop. adequately tooled and
flanked BY a warehouse for spare
parts. Somewhere there must be a
power house to provide electro
current Barracks for the officers
and men must be built, and roads
to tie everything together. A ra-
dio installation must be made, and
if the island is up north there
must be a heating plant. Add
bakeries. a hospital, quarters for
the 30 or 80 civilians who'll be
attached to the place and you get
quite a layout.
ONE BASE COSTS
ABOUT S2,50O,000
All this costs money. Take a
couple of the jobs that the under

thousand more is going into Diesel

ment including barracks. anti-air-
craft emplacements. and so on runs
to S1.250 900.
Similarly, on the island of Guam
the navy is spending S3500O0 just to
improve the water supply.
In the estimates for the naval
air base at Tongue Point, Ore,
the navy asked for S100.oCO TO build

ties.
