price of the commodity. Also, there are ample mill. facilities about 14s@s 100000 spindles which experts gay are sufficient to meet both defense and consumer needs if operated at full capacity.
 Yet, despite. all these favorable factors, the output. of khakis, deniins and drills has not kept pace with demands, and prices are steadily climbing skyward.
 Government figures show the once depression-rackete industry new rolling in lush profits. Mill marg- ins,' the difference in price between pound of raw cotton and a pound of processed cotton, are away Up. For example: Mill margins on denims have zoomed from 8.5 cents last August to 12.9 cents. .s M Even before recent heavy buying by the army, mills were recording from 10 to 30 percent earnings, some having declared 50 percent dividends on their capital.
 In the private opinion of price controlled experts of the Defense Commission, there is definite ccn- nection between the textile short age, the mounting price trend and the booming profits, and, they in.- fer that this shortage is artificial.
 According to them, the industry's capacity is ample to meet both con sumer and military demands if the mills are worked on three shift basis. But so far, they say, average mill operation is largely on tw0- shift basis-not sufficient to supply. the country's greatly expanded ue- quirements. g
 That is why. the government ex-

The Dutch Stand Fast
(New York Timesl


 The spirit of the stolid Dutch burghers who withsood the might of Spain lives again in Amster- dam. For half century Spain's steel-clad men-at- arms, formidable and as feared in their day as are Hitler's tanks and bombers now held the Low Countries Again and again, under one leader after another the Dutch fought and defeated rebeled and were suppressed They slaughtered merci- lessy their cities sacked and the weight of Spanish rule lay heavy upon them. Outwardly submissive, hey waited their day Then the tide turned against oleaD.. -"'-assor woe 3verthrown and the Neither lands entered upon of peace and great pros perity.
 There is good deal of analogy between Ho- lands situation then and the plight in which she finds herself today. There is a greater simi- arity in the in which the gallant Holanders face and fight the new foes of human freedom Eighteen have just faced the firing squad in Am sterdam for acts of sabotage and terrorism" (the Nazis love to attribute to their victims the terror of which they make speciality against the Ger man Army. Nineteen are on their way to Nazi jails. German coercion seeks to include the mind no less than the body. Any one who con- spires, "even in thought" against the German Army is warned that he is playing with death sentence
 The Dutch were not broken by the Spanish oc- cupation. Hitler cannot break them now. They wait, did their forebears for the turning of the tide when they too, may unite with other liberty loving peoples to win back their freedom

make that policy anything more than lip service.
 For instance, A dm iral Harold Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, has been urged by the State De- partment for four months to in vite the chiefs of all Latin Ameri- can navies to visit the United States. And after arguing that he hadn't the staff to entertain them, the Admiral finally has agreed to issue the invitations.
 However, he is now opposed to letting the Latin American admirals see anything of the U. s. Navy except the East Coast. He is planning to take them to Washington, Norfolk and Philadelphia. He does not even propose to take them to New York, mecca of every Latin American.
 Furthermore, he does not plan to take the Good Neighbor admirals to the Pacific Coast where they car really see the Fleet. All of which is a definite setback to the State De- i partment, which wanted to win real friends among the Latin American naval leaders.
 Reason for Admiral Stark's lack of hospitality seems to be chiel |, budgetary. He says the Navy has only so much money to spend for entertainment He has no objection to the Latin Americans viewing the Fleet on the Pacific Coast or even flying to Hawaii, as is proposed. But he says it would cost too much money to take them there.
 And when it was proposed that each of the Latin American admirals be given a gold cigarette case as a memento of his trip-a type of gift usual when distinguished U. s. off cials visit in Latin America-Ad- miral Stark threw up his hands in horror.

Consumer Division headed by Miss Harriet Elliott.
 This is massively manned out fit with a payroll totalling more than $280,000 a year, but with few accomplishments-except for flood of press handouts. Chief difficulty is that it has no real authority. Miss Elliott, sincere, well-intentioned, lacks the punch to be an effective administrator.
 How much of her top-heavy staff of masterminds will be retained re- mains to be seen. But it is sure to go under the pruning knife.
 Roosevelt said nothing about it publicly; but privately he did lot of talking about the new price con- trol unit before he departed. The gradual upward price trend, as a result of the, expanding priority list has worried him considerably, and the last thing he wants is high cost-of- living problem.
 Retailers particularly have been concerned about the upward price movement, and through their Ad- visory Committee, have urged regu- latory action before things get out of hand. The Advisory Committee has quietly kept Miss Elliott inform ed of price boosts, but nothing has come of it.
 World War executives, among them Bernard Baruch, have warned Roose welt that he can't daily with the price problem and that delay may lead to imitation. They have urged the imposition of blanket price con- trols on the ground that the price problem cannot be dealt with ef- fectively by piecemeal action.
 Roosevelt. however, has been leery of taking such a drastic step. He proposes tackling the matter via a more cautious route of setting up a price control agency headed by Hen- derson.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do rot con,pew
SATURDAY, MARCH 29

Adverse aspects are active today although benefic influences alst Ire discerned. The morning is for ,unate for planning. It should be ,afe to sign leases or contracts to- day. Heart and Home: Owing to exi- gencies caused by preparedness work there may be many household
 nanges as the spring advances The wise will keep permanent lwelling place. Home-owning is ad- vised by the seers, who foretell many extraordinary housing prob lems when war ends. There is a sign presaging the incoming of many refugees after the removal of rigid immigration bars. The nation is to be greatly enriched by talented foreigners, among whom are child refugees.
 Business Affairs: Manufacturing will reach a speed and volume that will break all previous records. The stars seem to indicate great need of haste in all that pertains to pre- paredness. The retail trade will be good and there will be demand for novel forms of merchandise. Time savers and labor-savers will be in- troduced as men and women work at high gear providing for national and international needs.
 National Issues: Because PreSi- dent Roosevelt is to be recognized IS the Nemesis of Hitler, he will oe the target for bitter criticism and misrepresentation in the press # Germany and Italy There is a portent of danger for the Chief Executive of our nation, which is now assailed by Axis enemies. Those who look backward several years will remember the warnings issued y the President at a time when lis words caused him to be criti- cized as a warmonger. Even his plea for defense of the Panama Canal went unheeded. The result IS the present frenzied preparedness effort.
 International Affairs: InSignifi- can't incidents will be magnified oy the Axis powers in attempts to cause the United States to become involved in the world conflict be- fore defense plans can be complet- ed. There is sign presaging "a clash of battleships and much dan ger to American vessels from sub- marines. This is read as one of the most critical periods in our his tory. Perils within the United states as well as those outside are forecast. Treachery and sabotage are predicted. H& Persons whose birthdate it lis have the augury of a year of prcs- perity. Money will be so plentiful that undue extravaganza will tenibt the fortunate possessors.
 Children born on this day should be fortunate in most thing. Theg will be clever, industrious, talented and successful. Writers and artiSts belong to this sign.

"THIs AMAZING LAND

THIS is the time of year to discover
America, as good many thousand va
catlonlsts are doing right now. Those
who live in cities have taken to- the
woods and the mountains and the sea
shore. And those who live in rural
districts are wandering around New
York and Chicago seing for them
selves the skycrapers they've read so
much about. Fasteners are going
West, Westerners are coming East
and everyone is finding out what an
immense, varied and beautiful land
this is.
Each section of the United States
has it's local color and traditions. New
England with its colonial history and
neat white houses is one thing. The
South with its old plantations and
trees draped in Spanish moss is an
other California with it's fabulous or
chards and amazing new industries is
as different from the Middle West as
can be, and the great Pacific North
West is still another kind of country.
But along with these differences
and local characteristics is a great ba-
sic similarity. A person from one Sec
tion of the United States is immediat
ely at home in another section. For
th ipcr ind io1 cyyctor, co
the country las a whole so that the
same breakfast foods and cosmetics
and automobiles are sold in Maine as
in California. The same magazines are
read in Florida and Oregon. The same
radio programs are listened to in As
different states. More important STILL
tine same ideals of freedom and the
dignity of the common man hold sway
throughout the length and breadth OF
this great land.
The country was settled by men
and women who wanted greater free
dom and opportunity than they had in
the Old World. 1t was developed by
their children and their childl EN- IS
children who were not afraid of tax
ing chances and going out to live on
the frontier where no white man had
ever lived before 1t was built up to
still greater heights by men VINO had
the vision and audacity to develop
mass production methods and so raised
the standards of living to unheard of
heights. Today it is being strengthened
for defense by men and women who
believe that the American way of life
must be maintained not only for our
own sake but for the sake Of genera
tions to come.
So today as we travel from country
to city or from East to West we
should be conscious of our common
heritage and common destiny as we'll
as of the fascinating variations of this
amazing land!

a CONCRETE floor for a garage,
( \ tool house or other small out
building can be readily laid on firm
ly packed ground without additional
foundation or support. A thickness Of
three inches should suffice for all
practical purposes, although greater
depth may be required in places to
allow for variations in ground level.
Concrete, when laid directly on the
earth, absorbs moisture, tending to
make the interior damp and cold. AS
a result, for workshops or other
structures frequently tenanted, it is
advisable to cover the earth with a
couple of layers of tar paper before
pouring the concrete to keep the
floor as dry as possible. In any case,
the concrete surface should slope
toward the door or floor drain pipe
to facilitate drainage.
Q.-What causes some paints to
fail by cracking and scaling while
others wear well for years?
A.-Cracking and scaling is the d.
rect result of using paints containing
pigments which in combination with
linseed oil form hard, brittle, inelas-
tic films. oucn paints may appear
well for a time but under the stress
of surface movements and as wealth
ering progresses, they inevitably fail
by cracking and scaling.
In direct contrast is the resistance
to weathering and wear exhibited by
pure white lead paint. White lead,
the most active of the common pig.
ments, reacts chemically with linseed
oil to form a firm and elastic film
which will not crack and scale. how.
ever long before redecoration. Con-
sequently, high white lead content is
essential to prevent cracking and
scaling in exterior paint
Q.-Can wood siding be applied
over a stucco base?
Ayes. For details consult your
