The Bureau of Standards

The United States Bureau OF
Standards is one of the great scien-
tiflc institutions of the world.
There is hardly family in
America which does not benefit di-
rectly by its fundamental researches
in such fields as fabrics, building ma
terials, gasoline, automobiles and by
its simplified practice standards
which cheaper prices and 60 far to
make parts interchangeable.
In national emergency like the
present its Importance increases
tremendously. 1t seems to be enter
ing one of its periods of great ex-
pansion, such as it experienced
during the last war, when few in
stitutions contributed more to the
ultimate victory. The purchase of
the Pembroke Park estate, adjoining
the present site of the bureau, and
the plans for new 100000 labora-
tory to be erected in the near future,
are striking evidences of this new
growth.
It's work, for the most part, is ex-
tremely practical and deals with
things which enter the everyday
lives of everybody. But under the
surface of these familiar things lie
some of the most carefully hidden
secrets of nature, into which the
bureau physicists and chemists con-
tinually are delving. Out of these
researches come new tools, both for
ordinary living and for war.
Many of the present projects of
the bureau necessarily are highly
confidential, as they were during the
last war. But there has been no
relaxation in the even more funda-
mental studies of more permanent
significance dealing with the ever
essential instruments of peace-the
kitchen, the living room, the garage,
the radio, the clock, the gas stove.
When the present emergency is
over it will have left the bureau
better equipped for these jobs.

Praises President Roosevelt
And Prays for His Health.


Those who listened to the inaugural
address Of President Roosevelt could not
have failed to glimpse the sincerity and
integrity within his heart.
AS he stood with undaunted courage
and pledged himself for the third time
to the highest service of his country, the
desire of the American people was full
filled. This unprecedented event may
never be repeated in American history.
AS We enter the next four years with
Mr.. Roosevelt still at the throttle, 1
share with thousands of other Americans
the confidence that he will give his very
best to his fellow men in the future rs
he has in the past.
We cannot change the things others
have done or undo the things We have
done ourselves, but We can ever keep
alive in our hearts the fire of hope
that spiritual fire that has warmed and
bolstered the courage Of men since the
beginning Of time.
May God bless our gallant President
with good health and vigor and guide
him over the safest course In the years
that lie ahead. 50 that we may achieve
the spiritual rebirth of democracy In
America.

than 100000 above the 1886 figure
the previous all-time high. The
Democrats spent $6,0OO,0OO, a sum
$3,000,000 less than the cost of the
campaign four years ago, but whether
this reduction was in difference to
the reform legislation is open to
question.
Further, the totals reported by the
Senate committee are subject to re-
vision upward, as they include only
the returns from national and State
committees and organizations, and
make no allowance for the funds
handled by local, county or similar
groups, which no doubt also run into
the millions.
The report shows that the two
national committees were careful to
keep within the $3,OOOOOO limit on
expenditures fixed by the Hatch Act,
and it is not improbable that the
further breakdown" in the accounts
to be made by the Senate committee
will reveal general compliance with
the requirement that individual con-
tributions be held to five thousand
dollars. AS the initial test has DEM
onstrated, however, these restrictions
alone are insufficient to prevent the
lavish outpouring of campaign funds,
and if the law is to be fully effective,
it will be necessary to consider
changes. Stirred by the expenditures
in the 1886 campaign, the Senate
committee called for reforms that
eventually took shape in the Hatch
Act, and new steps in this direction
can be expected. If such a program
is undertaken, valuable assistance
may be forthcoming from the elec-
ton inquiry which a special grand
jury has for several weeks been con-
Quoting in District Court, under the
direction of the Justice Department.

It's an III Wind

AS the American Society of Com
posers, Authors and Publishers
rumpus goes into it's blankth week
Of total war, several interesting facts
emerge. AS in other wars, the
neutrals, in this case the radio
public, suffer most. Sponsors prob
ably come next, being deprived
Of opportunity to couple their
messages with snappy new songs
which, alas, cannot even be boot
legged across the ether without
instantaneous detection. The actual
belligerents, composers and pub
fishers on the offensive and broad
casters on the defensive, also un-
doubtedly suffer.
This war, however, has been a
tremendous boon to songs of yore
which hitherto had one foot in the
grave and the other one on the way.
Old Black Joe's head, in spite of what
he says, is not really bending low;
the paralysis of boogie woogie has
given a new strength to Joe's
Uranium and 1t is now held proud
and high. That famous locomotive,
Old 81, has been taken from the junk
pile and put in order again for use

new lease on life and still listens to

Wolly Doodle is no longer an old hag;
she has been rejuvenated. But per-
haps the most spectacular turning
back of time in its flight has come
to Jeanie, who got real break.
Although she must be an old lady
by now, no one would ever guess it;
she still has that same light brown
hair, and plenty Of publicity agents
to mention it.

Tobruk-und Beyond

The capture of Tobruk after brief
siege and an even briefer assault is
another bright feather in the cap
of General Wavell and his compos-
ite imperial army. AS at the taking
of Bardia, there was the same perfect
coordination of British land, air and
sea forces. Italian resistance was
literally smothered by this British
type of blitzkrieg. Some 10000 pris-
oners and vast quantities of war
materials were thereby gained by the
attackers, who report their own
losses at the almost incredibly small
number of 500 casualties.
This latest chapter in an amazing
campaign inevitably suggests spec
ulation as to how much farther the
British intend to 60 in their conquest
of Italy's North African colony. 1t
must not be forgotten that when
they made their first attack on the
Italian vanguard at Sidi Barrani on
December 8, the operation was
frankly an experiment. The British
forces we're outnumbered and had
orders to retire if the attack was
unsuccessful. But the pitiful show
ing made by the Italians disclosed
an all-around weakness which con-
verted a trial reconnaissance into
major operation. Like the good SOL
dier he has proved himself to be,
General Wavell determined to keep
the offensive and give disorganized
enemy no rest. Thus he has gone
from victory to victory, and the end
is presumably not yet. Already Brit
ish motor units are reported well on
their way to Derna, some 100 miles
further west, while beyond Derna lies
the city of Bengazi, the capital of
Eastern Libya. Both these key points
may be considered legitimate objec-
tives for the British invaders and
their capture is rendered much
easier by the fall of Tobruk, which
possesses the best deep-water harbor
on the entire Libyan coast. Thereby
the British have acquired a new
base, where reinforcements and sup
plies can be landed without the
necessity of long overland haul
which they have hitherto been
obliged to make.
AS far as Bengazi, General Wavell's
| task should be relatively simple
When the conquest of Eastern Libya
has been completed, however, he will
be confronted with a major problem.
Beyond lie several hundred miles Of

barren and almost waterlesS coun-
try, where the desert touches the
sea. Not unless the British can sue
cessfully negotiate that forbidding
strip will they approach the better
region Of Western Libya, where
stands the chief Italian stronghold,
the city of Tripoli. Whether such a
feat will be attempted even by desert
wise General Wavell may be doubted.
But, in any case, the complete con-
quest of Eastern Libya would leave
him immune to further Italian
counterattack and might permit
him to divert his forces to other
fields. 1t should be remembered that
the Libyan campaign is only part of
a much larger strategic whole which
covers the entire Mediterranean
basin
