UNCLE RAYS CORNER

One day I saw a young woman
look quickly through a book and
give little Jump as she caught
sight Of a picture of two white rats.
I told her not to worry, since the
rats couldn't get out Of the book to
harm her in any way!
The fact is that white rats have
done the human race a great deal
Of good. They have been used by
scientists to make tests and the
tests have done ever so much to give
US the knowledge we have today
about food. Thanks to our grow
Ing knowledge of food and vitamins,
people are being saved from trouble
and disease.
White rats have been used In
making important tests with vita
min B, but chickens gave the world
the first hint about this vitamin.
In 1897 a Dutch doctor in Java
had some chickens which grew sick
and he wondered what the trouble
was. So he looked into the chick
ems food supply, which was made
up largely of rice left over from the
table.
As the doctor knew, the rice was
spolished"-that is, the coatings had
been taken from the grains. What
will happen" he wondered, IF I
feed these chickens coatings from
the rice grains?"
He did that very thing and the
chickens soon were well and healthy

once more. Although he did not
know it, this Dutchman-Dr. Elk
man-had found good way to OBJ
tain vitamin B. Since that time,
other workers have learned a great
deal about vitamin B.
Human beings suffer from the
same kind of disease as troubled
the chickens. It is known as "beri-
beri" and 1t has cost the lives of

China and other parts of the Orient.

feared. down four, less honors, for

since East also held the five top
honors in hearts, he would have
scored $50 points in addition to the
game. And since game is worth
800 points, 1t would seem as though
Mr.. Schenken made a worthwhile
sacrifice.
However, on thinking the hand
over, Mr.. Schenken realized that a
fantastic lead might have set six
hearts. If he had opened small
club his partner would have won
the trick with the nine, in which
event he would surely have had
sense enough to return a spade,
which would be ruffed for the set

No Pay For Hard Work

There is no good reason to suppose that the

course, will be exercised to avoid asking

Two Important Factors

This expansion of the Axis contemplates the
division of Europe and Africa between Hitler
and Mussolini and the ceding OF ASIA TO ia
pan. Spain, growing bold, announces that she
has never surrendered her claims in South
America. This leaves Russia alone among thc
major dictator states whose position is prob
!ematical. But it is quite evident that from the
dictator viewpoint there is no place in the sun
for Great Britain and little consideration 1or
the United States. If all goes well, this IS 70
become a totalitarian world, With the olcla
tors in supreme power and the people ser1s.
There are, however, two factors still to b.
dealt with. One, and it is primary, is the con
quest of Great Britain. Unless Britain can be
brought to her knees the whole ubiquitous
scheme will fail. The other is that, left to
themselves in a conquered world the dicta~
tors inevitably will fall out and destroy each
other. The United States could not stand a'op"
against their united strength. We, too, would
be forced into bondage.
The second factor here cited is sufficiently
remote to create no great hope for the world.
The present problem, the survival Of Grea:
Britain. is the most important consideration,
mat must De mace pOSSlDle dI any SoSt, dAy
sacrifice. And here is where the United States
comes in. This nations part in the troubled
situation is clearly defined and unacceptable.
1t is to give the British war machine all the
help our industries, our finances, our moral
support can produce.
We have sent so destroyers across the At
lantic. we are sending warplanes, we are build
ing tanks, for the defense of Britain. We must
also send the giant bombers that Britain mas
asked for, if we are to be consistent. With
them Britain will be able to destroy German
industries now inaccessible to the Royal Air
Force because of their great distance from
England. With them out of the way, Nazi coast
al positions under deadly fire and the blockade
growing tighter, there would be reason to hope
that Britain's valiant fight for survival would
be successful. In that even the dictators'
house of cards would topple about their feet
and Hitler's dream of world conquest be shat
tered.
AS for Japan, her arrogance would suffer
a severe shock if we, in addition to placing an
embargo on shipments of scrap iron and steel
to her, also placed an embargo on her produc.
tons shipped to this country. On the verge OF
bankruptcy now, \ she could not long endure
this blow to her internal economy.

no regular hours of employment. The advisory
boards which Governor Hoey has called upon
IN recommend county draft board personnel
will bear this in mind when making their re-
commentators.
The thing to remember is that there is a
difficult lob to be done, that it must be thor
ougb that the qualifications of draftees must
be carefully weighed, and that injustice must
be avoided. At the same time there must De

some one and should meet, as it apparently
| does. the appreciation Of Democrats In every
section of the country.
Southerners should be the last to object to
the selection of Mr.. Mccormick. He earned
the leadership on the basis of ability, loyalty
and seniority. AS long as those standards are
applied, the South will take care of itself In
the distribution of party honors. Sectionahsm
should not be a factor in choosing a party
leader, Fortunately, sectionaism has not con-
trolled such selections in the past. Since the
Democrats first organized the House in 1881,
there have been five Speakers, all but one OF
whom has been a Southerner. Mr.. Mccormick
now is in line to become the sixth Democratic
Speaker, when and if there is a vacancy. He
has merited his promotion in the same way
as his predecessors. 1t is generally admitted
that the leadership would again have gone to a
Southerner had Representative Lindsay e.
Warren of North Carolina not accepted ap-
pointment as Comptroller General of the Unit
ed States. But when the vacancy was created
by the death of Speaker Bankhead and the
promotion of Speaker Rayburn, Mr.. Warren
was not available. With the North Carolinian
out of the race, the most available man was
Mr.. Mccormick. He should not have been de-
feated because of sectionalism any more than
Mr.. Warren should have been.
Happily, sectionalism has again been avoid
ed. North Carolina and other Southern States
long ago learned the value Of seniority in Con-
gress. Massachusetts has now profited by that
lesson. The elevation of Mr.. Mccormick not
only assures his party a worthy leader in Con-
gress. it will encourage the retention of that
body of other Democrats from Northern and
Western States. There must be such encour-
agement if the Democrats are to continue to
have a majority leader. 4

THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Charlotte Observer

To what extent this country should extend
material aid to Great Britain in its fight OF
defense against Germany quite properly puz.
zles both the military and political leaders OF
the nation.
The practical question is, How far can the
United States go in this direction without
serious and dangerous impairment of its own
fighting resources?
For example, England wants as many OF
this country's flying fortresses as can be
spared.
These are the giant bombers with a far
longer cruising radius than is possessed by
any plane so far developed in Europe.
England has none at all of them, nor has
Germany, but England needs this particular
type, whereas Germany doesn't.
If England had them, the remote naval and
airplane production plants of Germany, now
largely removed from the Ruhr district to
eastern and southeastern Germany, even to
faraway Poland, could be bombed.
But this country has only about go of them.
They are designed to defend America from
long-distance attack-to defend even the West
ern hemisphere by meeting the enemy far out
at sea and preventing him from reaching any
base for supplies nearer our own domain.
Naturally, it's a perplexing question as to
whether it would be wise to furnish England
with some OF these mighty planes when, if
England should lose its case, America might
need all it now has, and more, relatively soon
thereafter.
Even so, it would seem to be logical to con-
clude that, even though England may some
day be defeated, the more America can now
do to ~forestall that decision and thereby post
pone the imminence of it's own perils from
Hitler's total conquest of Europe, not only the
less the chances of a German invasion of the
Western hemisphere, but the more time al.
lowed during which the United States can set
its own defensive house in order.
The greater risk would, therefore,, seem to
be in holding on to what little we may have
Of military. naval and air resources than in
sharing these to the largest practical extent
with England, counting on that country, with
such aid, being put in position to hold off it's
own defeat at least until the United States be-
comes totally prepared to defend itself. l

Hollywood
Sights And Sounds
BY ROBIN O

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 29-1 never
suspected it before, but Edgar
Kennedy is really burning. Slow
ly, as usual, but surely.
Edgar was sitting on the side
lines of 1.-THE Quarterback set,
burning in lonely, unnoticed bril-
lance, and he a talking. No
body could see the burn. All you
saw was the ordinary Kennedy
face, plain and open, that you see
on the screen; above it the grow
ing badness which is as familiar
as the face.
"You know Edgar began,
when I do that burn Pm really
burning-I get sick of their max
ing me do it,
Edgar's secret desire, his hope
of escape from that gesture which
made him famous, that slapping
himself on the brow and wiping
his face in evaporation, is to play
heavies. Heavies burn, but they
can do it differently. They can
twirl moustachios, for instance, if
they have moustachios-but Ed
gar, here, hasn't even a toupee.
Well, how'd the "slow burn"
stuff start, Pagliacci?
This way He'd been looking for
movie jobs and asking and asking
heard was Nothing today" He
heard it so much one day that he
at casting offices and all he'd
at coasting officese and all he'd
burned. He slapped his brow,
wiped his face slowly, shook with
helpless rage.
And the caster cried do that
in a picture and We'll get you
something sure!"
1t did get him something, a job
as a Keystone Kop and a chance
to "slow burn from that time on.
At that point in Edgar's recital
