about Key West it would be q
good idea to flood the Miami

clamored for the literature last
year and found none. These
agencies get their cut by routing
a tour of Key West via Florida
Motor Lines through Key West
with complete sightseeing. All

run up quickly to the Navy Yard.

Ter. A ship had gone on the rocks
in those dangerous waters and
busted a hole in its bottom. It's
screw was in enough water for
running but it could not come
off with that hole in the bot
tom. The Warbler crew soon
patched the hole inside and out
and then brought her off. The
vessel was then lowed to Mobile
for repairs. A number of local
boys are now running around
with about $65 apiece from the
14-day trip, a nice stake.

THE 1910 CENSUS

It is estimated that about 1000
people will be employed for varying
periods during the taking of the 1910
United States census, and the questions to
be asked will cover wider range than
ever before.
Among the new questions will be sew
eral dealing with employment and hous-
ing conditions, concerning which made
quate authentic information is now avail
able to the government. Among other
things, enumerators will ask whether
dwellings occupied are rented or owned;
what equipment, such as radios, re-
frigerators and other conveniences, are
installed in homes; what fuels are used
for heating and cooking; whether homes
are mortgaged, and if so for how much.
Beginning today, census takers will
begin obtaining information concern
ing factories and business enterprises.
The canvass of individuals will begin on
April l, ard data obtained will be con-
sidered as of that date, regardless of the
actual day on which the enumerator calls.
The task of the Census Bureau in
1910 will be a tremendous One-quite
different from that imposed by the first
census of 1890, when very few questions
were asked

ADMINISTRATOR
THINKS ENGLAND
IS A GOOD RISK

Britain is a good risk" Many
Americans will be impressed by the
laconic-banker judgment Of Jesse
Jones, Federal Loan Administrator.
Wis statement, the proposal OF Mar
riner s. Eccles, chairman Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, and the arrival
Of Sir Frederick Phillips, Undersecre-
tary of the British Treasury, who is
expected to give the figures on Brit
aims need for loans-al these are en-
eouraging evidence that official Wash
ington is moving to avoid any none
tary blockade on American aid to
Britain.
Britain is a good risk. The best
bankers judge loan risks as much on
mental qualities as on physical assets.
Dunkirk and the "air Marine" of this
war in September when the r. A. F.
blasted Nazi hopes of winning air
supremacy, abundantly exhibited both
the moral and material resources of
Britain. General CLANCY, returning
after weeks on-the-spot observation,
declares Britain "cannot lose" if she
goes on as she is. Such official esti-
mates only conform the general opin-
ion of those Americans who, without
technical knowledge or opportunity
Of observing, are banking on Brit
ain" because they sense the power
of an indomitable spirit and con-
seriousness of right.
This appreciation of Britain's sound
ness will undoubtedly facilitate finan-
sial help. But to say that Britain
is a good risk is a very poor way OF
expressing what most Americans feel
about aid to Britain. They do not
want their country to be placed in
the position Of hard-fisted profit
eer, selling supplies at a good price
10 war-stricken people who are form
ing its own first line Of defense. They
do not want to extract every penny
of British gold before considering
loans. They would not insist on col
lateral to insure that every penny
will be paid back.
Indeed, in America today there is
q great and growing appreciation Of
the fact that the defense of freedom
should not, cannot, rest on Britain
alone. The dominant spirit is one of
gratitude for the contribution Brit
ain is making-and for years has
made through policing of the oceans
to Americas safety. Many Ameri-
cans glory in the gallant and gay
struggle Britons are making as if it
were their own-as in large meas
ure it is. They feel that since they
are sending no men, any money they
may send should not be thought Of
IN terms Of risk. !

JAP EPISCOPAL CHURCH
CONTINUES ITS WORK

Although the American Protestant
Episcopal Church will soon be forced
to cease all activities in Japan under
the restrictions Of the Religious
Bodies Act, the japanese Episcopal
Church will continue it's work, ac-
cording to the Rt. Rev. Henry St.
George Tucker, Presiding Bishop.
Bishop Tucker, in an address be-
fore the opening of he three-day
quarterly meeting of the Episcopal
Church at 281 Fourth Avenue, said
the new japanese law forbid all fl
nancial aid from the United States
and for schools and cher educational
for evangelistic work after Dec. 81
tivities on April l next. Restric-
tions have not yet been placed on for
eign support of hospitals and medical
work, he added.
Bishop Tucker did not view the
japanese legislation as aimed against
Christianity, although some fanati-
cal individuals and military officials
there might regard is as SUCH"
The Bishop voiced the opinion that
Japanese communicates undoubted-
ly would be able to maintain themsel-
yes in the larger cities, adding that

SHORE BALL PLAYER IS
TOP RIGHT FIELDER

Daniel M. Daniel, well known base
ball writer, in the December issue
of Baseball Magazine, rated Bill Mich
olson as the best right fielder in the
Major Leagues during the past seas
on, just nosing out Charlie Keller of
the New York Yankees. Nicholson
played against Keller in their college
days when Keller played on the Uni
versity of Maryland team, and Mich
olson was at Washington College.
Taft Wright, of the Chicago White
Sox, had a better batting average
than Nicholson but Bill excelled him
in home runs, batted in and defensive
ability.

UNITED STATES
EXTENDS BIG AID
TO THE CHINESE

Tokyo's signing of the Triple Axis
pact with Berlin and Rome placed
American aid to China in one parcel
with aid to Britain. Washington's
action to furnish 100000, 000-half
as loan to China and half as sup
port for it's currency is aptly describ-
ed by Secretary Hull as the mini
mum that the United States can do
to aid that nations fight predatory
totalitarianism.
This is the largest loan so far made
in implementation Of the United
States Far Eastern policy. Money a.
lone does not fight a war. China's
problem is to translate financial aid
into military aid-into supplies, into
planes, guns and other equipment.
Yet such aid serves another purpose
which is important to the outcome Of
the Sino-Japanese war. It can be
used to bolster China currency which
is no less under attack than are Chi
nese cities. The puppet regimes set
up by Tokyo derive whatever strength
they have among the Chinese people
from the financial as we'll as from
the political support emanating from
Tokyo. The prestige of such re-
gimes suffers as long as Chinese cur
rency maintains a more reliable pur-
chasing power than that of the pup
pets.
Aid to China remains secondary
to the defense Of democracy in the
Atlantic, for when aggression is de-
feated in Europe it can be curbed
with less effort in Asia. But that

ARMY DOCTORS
HAVE REJECTED
BIG PERCENTAGE

Doctors at army induction centers
have rejected 10 to % per cent of the
prospective soldiers passed by physi-
clans for the local draft boards, au-
thoritative sources disclosed this
week.
Officials at selective service head
quarters declared that this showing
was no cause for alarm. The whole
business was new to most of the 10
cal examiners, they said, and the per
centage of reflections by army doctors
could be expected to fall between 5
and 10 per cent eventually.
The officials took advantage Of a
lull in inductions, however, to drive
home to local draft officials, and
draftees these lessons learned in the
initial trial run" Of the selective
service machinery:
1. Men passed by the local medi-
cal examiners should not quit their
jobs imediately. Instead, they should
ask and be, granted leaves from their
work until they have passed the ex-
ans at induction centers and received
final assurance that they are Gin the
army now"
2. The doctors for the local boards
who are donating their services to
the country, must become more IA
miliar with the regulations and in
terpretations.
An initial sampling Of reflections
in all parts Of the country-except-
ing the southeast, which has not yet
completed it's initial induction
showed more than 80 per cent Of the
men turned down by the army's doc
tors were rejected on account of bad
teeth.
If the high percentage of rejec-
tions for dental defects should con-
tinue, army officials would be alarm
ed.
In World War days, only per
cent of the reflections by army or
scamp" boards and 2 LIZ per cent Of
those by the local boards were for
bad teeth.
In addition to bad teeth, other
principal causes Of army rejection, as
indicated by the initial sampling,
were: Mental deficiencies, 8 per cent;
poor vision, 8 to 10 per cent; flat
feet and other foot troubles, less
than 2 per cent.
One Of the reasons assigned for
the high percentage of reflections at
induction centers was the fact that
local boards and examiners had sent
along eager volunteers whose patriot

is not to say that those who fight for
China's freedom are not a very con-
siderable part of the world force a.
gainst aggression. Whatever aid the
United States can afford to give
them is a part of American defense.
The United States may have only
narrow margin above it's own arma-
ment needs and those of Britain to
draw upon in aiding the Chinese. But
there is another source of supply still
open to China, namely Russia. The
Soviet Union has already supplied
China against Japan; even since the
formation of the Triple Axis these

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

Nail polish is more easily removed
before it has hardened completely.
For washable materials, sponge with
banana oil, then launder. For nom
washable materials, merely sponge
with banana oil. Some nail polish is
harmful to some synthetic fabrics.
Hot foods must always be served
very hot on heated plates. Cold
foods must be well chilled and served
on cold plates.

ism they were reluctant to discour-
age.
Another was that local physicians
had taken for granted, in some in
stances, the soundness Of men they
had known since childhood.
Army doctors, on the other hand,
are leaning over backward" to get
perfect men for trainees.
At present, as in World War days,
the highest percentage Of reflections
for dental defects is in New Eng
land. Again, as in 1918, the mid
die west is showing little teeth
trouble.

FIGHTING SHIPS
JOINING FLEET
EVERY II DAYS

New fighting ships are joining the
fleet at the rate of one every IL days,
the National Defense Advisory Com
mission reported last week.
Making public an analysis of the
Navy's $7,700,000,00O ship construc-
ton and alteration program, the
Commission said it's study showed
shipbuilding time had been cut ma
terially.
"The 40-month building period for
completing cruisers has been cut as
much as one-eighth," it continued
land submarine construction time has
been cut from 80 months to "a
months. Destroyers under construc-
ton are being launched three months
ahead Of schedules"
Mentioning some shortcuts, the
Commission said a completed diesel
engine was installed in one ship be-
ing built at Tampa, Fla, shipyards.
instead of being assembled in the
ship piecemeal.
Following this same procedure,
entire boilers will be delivered" the
statement said. Auxiliary machin-
cry will be completed and assembled
outside the yards, thus requiring only
the actual installation work to be
done within the shipbuilding yards
themselves"
This procedure, it was explained
would permit the smaller machine
shops throughout the nation to par
ticipate in building up materials and
sub-assemblies necessary to the pro-
gram.
The analysis showed that contracts
awarded for ship construction to date
totaled more than $500, 100000. The
remaining portion of the authorized
total would be utilized for armor,
armament and equipment, the Com
mission said, to be contracted for as
the ships approached completion.
A regional breakdown of the con-
tracts awarded thus far showed the
major portion was concentrated in the
northeastern section of the country,
the Commission said. New England
has received almost $900,000,000 Of
the total and over $1,000, 100000 will
be spent in the middle Atlantic reg
ion, mostly in New York City, New
ark, N. j., and the Philadelphia Cam
den area.
On the Pacific Coast, San Fran
cisco and the yards at Seattle-Ta-
coma, WASH, took the greater por-
ton of over $500,O0O,OOO in contract
awards. Awards for construction of
small ships in the Great Lakes area
totaled roughly $200,000,000.
A sharp rise in shipyard employ
ment figures has resulted from the
program. The Commission said lat
est figures showed 10000 workers
were employed directly in the ship
yards and asserted that for every one
of those workers there was another
employed in plants furnishing ma
terials for ship construction.

it was chiefly in the rural sections
that missionary work would suffer
from the withdrawal of American aid.
simultaneously, he announced the
goodwill gift" of $4,000, represen-
ting $4,000 to each of the three Epis
copal dioceses hitherto presided over
by American Bishops, which will be
sent to Japan before Dec. 81 to aug
ment salaries of native clergy and
pensions for retired workers and for
other Church needs.

supplies appear to have gone for
ward. It should be further encour-
aged by American backing for the
Chinese money that pays for Russian
equipment.
Beyond this the loan is Immediate
ly translatible into improved morale
among Chinese patriots. And it 10
one more disappointment to Axis
collaborators in Tokyo. Thus wher-
ever hope remains for an eventual
triumph of true order over the 30.

aid by the United States to China
will be welcome.
