Many doctors believe that small

drawn out to relieve pressure, that
patients should be denied liquids
But Drs. Gross and Enrich consid-
er drastic dehydration dangerous,
achieve the same result in another
way. They give hypertonic (heavy)
glucose injections to patients in
coma or shock. The glucose, thick

from the tissues through osmotic

the brain.

A SYMBOL OF DEVOTION
WAS THE HOOD

TO ME ENGLAND lost more than
battleship when the Germans sank
the Hood off the coast of Greenland.
The Hood was a symbol of the 10y
atty and love of English women.
I was on board the Hood when
she was being constructed on the
ways beside the Clyde near Glas-
cow in the fall of 1918. On her as
workmen were several hundred
English women. They came from
good English homes. They were not
working because Of need of wages.
They were working because of love
of England. They were working so
that England might win the conflict
in which she and the United States
were then engaged. That work was
their sacrifice to a cause. It was
an evidence of their love of country.
The Hood was but one of many
war projects in which English wom-
en- were doing the work of men.
Not far away other hundreds were
making shells for use in American
guns in France, and still other hun
dreds were at work making cordite
and nitroglycerine.
Any nation in which the women
show such devotion to their country
cannot be defeated by mere male
brutality.
The battleship Hood was sym
boil of that devotion.
INCENTIVE PLAN
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS Of the
house of representatives have
named committee to ascertain
what the American farmers want as
farm program. What that COM
mittee should do is to propose a
farm policy that would mean per-
manent solution and show the farm
ers how it would work to their adj
vantage and to the advantage of all
America.
It lies in the direction of encour-
aging the farmers ''to do" rather
than payments for mot doing" The
incentive" plan is on the right road
and that, coupled with the Andersen
bill now before the house, would do
the trick and appeal to American
farmers.
INCOME FACTS
ACCORDING to the United States
treasury, of our more than 100, 0O0.-
900 people, 1,274 have incomes in
excess of $150,000 a year. OF that
number, 43 have more than one mil
lion a year. Of that one million
dollars, the government takes in d.
rect taxes $3.50, 900, leaving each one
of the 43 $3.50, 900 year to spend OF
to invest. Those 43 people have
total gross income of so, 750, 900.
If we should divide it between the
rest of us, it would give each per-
son about IL cents a year.
There are 6,3OO,OO0 Americans
with incomes of from $1,000 to $15,-
600 year. They and their families
represent about one-fourth Of our to-
tai population. A small percentage
of this $500, 900 are farmers, but in
farm incomes is not included the
food, shelter and fuel which the
farm provides, but which people of
the cities and towns must pay for.
Farm families represent fully an
other one-fourth of our population.
Evidently there is not SO great an
unequal distribution of income in
America as some would have us be-
ieve.

Smashing Away

Though submarine losses contin-
ued heavy, and German planes were
still taking toll of British shipping,
for once, with Germany occupied
heavily on her eastern frontier, Brit
aims airplanes found themselves
able to make attacks at will on the
invasion coast and on western Ger
many as well.
Day after day Britain suffered
only the most desultory Of bombings
from the Nazi planes, while Raj
squadrons reputedly numbering
hundreds of planes, many of them
built in the United States, went
across the channel in waves, drop
ping tens of thousands of pounds of
bombs.
German dispatches admitted little
damage, but British observers
claimed that the same sort of at
tacks were being made on Germany
as Germany had made on England
previously, and that the huge casu-
atty and damage list in England
must be repeating itself now in Ger
many and the occupied bases.
With the situation on the Russian
border what it was, the Raj looked
with complacence across the chan
mel, and smashed away to its heart
content at Nazi detectives.
The raids on the invasion coast
were the simplest of all, in fact,
Raj members, pilots and gunners,
referred to raids on these ports as
nursery raids"-in other words,
raids taken part in by the less ex-
perienced pilots as a part of their
final training for bombing and
combat.
The explosives were described as
falling so thick along the coast that
the British coast could feel the shat
tering of the explosions.

NO TIME FOR PROFITEERING
IN CRISIS
released by Western Newspaper Union.l

NO TIME FOR PROFITEERING
IN CRISIS
BECAUSE OF the World war in
1917, the government needed guam
titles of paper-trainloads OF 1t. The
president of one of the large paper
mills was called on the phone and
told the daily quantity that would
be needed.
"That will take the complete ca
pacity of this MILL" he said. "We
are now operating at capacity on
commercial orders. We will stop
all our commercial business and
turn our entire production over to
the government, on the one condi-
ton that both the government and
ourselves put cost experts on the
job and the government accept as
"a price the figures of the experts
which show the lowest cost. We
will supply the paper but will not
do so at a penny of profit to our
selves"
The president of that paper COM
pany was a German born, natural
lied American citizen. His people
then lived in Germany. He had
been a college classmate of the Kali
ser, but he was first of all an Amer
lean, and his company, on his condi-
ton, made the paper the govern
ment used throughout the war.
During the war, I was talking with
the head of another company which
was turning out product the gov
eminent needed. 1t was billed to the
government in units, but the orders
would come in many cases for quar-
ter or half units. When the frac-
tons made a complete unit, the
price was that for one unit, but il
for only fractions, the price was pro-
portionately higher. AS he talked
about his order, he said to me: II
am going to have all of these frac-
tional units billed as fractions. It
will mean more money for my COM
pany, and the government will new
er check it up"
docs the price you get when bill
ing as complete units cover your
production costs?" I asked.
He assured me it did.
'You have son in France, and
have a son at sea with the navy"
I said. when the government
called, they offered all they had.
They did not attempt to make a
profit, or bargain as to price"
I saw the moisture come to his
eyes as he said: "You are right,
and the government will pay only
the price agreed upon. 1t covers
the cost"
No patriotic, loyal American will
attempt to make profit out of sup
plying the necessities Of his gov
eminent when it is at war or pre-
pairing for war. That, of all times,
is time for sacrifice in so far as a
sacrifice can be made and still be
in a position to serve.

confidence needed for a fight.
Also there was the angle that Ger
many was being stymied in her eff
fort to get aid to the Near-East, that
Germany was stalemated in North
Africa, that Germany feared. with
the Russian situation being what it
was, to start an invasion attempt
against Britain until her eastern
door was safely shut.

BREAK:
Thought Near

A complete break between the
United States and the Axis powers
was believed to be close following
several steps in aftermath to the
sinking of the Robin Moor.
First, all assets of Germany and
Italy were frozen-and these coun-
tries responded in kind.
Then, all consulate employees
were ordered out of the country.
Germany and Italy responded with
the same move.
President Roosevelt went to con-
gress with a surprise special mes
sage in which ugly names for the
Germans and the sinking of the
Moor were dotted throughout his
statement.
The state department followed this
up with strongly worded note. And
so nothing remained by the thin
thread of restricted diplomatic rep
resentation between the United
States and the Nazis and the
Fascists, only this, nothing more.

DISASTER:
In Air, on Sea

While the war swept into its net
new millions of combatants, there
were two disasters which, while they
involved only small numbers, caused
considerable comment and hit the
front pages with a crash.
One was the dramatic sinking of
the submarine O-9 off Portsmouth,
N. H., with some 30-odd navy lads
aboard.
The other was the crash of Mar
tin bomber at Baltimore after what
eyewitnesses called an Explosion in
mid-air." Two died in this disaster.
Relatives of victims of the 90 dis
aster fired verbal guns at the navy
department for sending to sea for
deep diving tests in 400 feet of water
submarine, the oldest in the navy,
which had been shown to be in leaky
and poor condition when she was
given her first undersea tests after
being recommissioned.
While salvage crews worked, APP
parently vainly, to bring the ship to
the surface as the Squalls was
brought up not so long ago, once
more the public wondered if per-
haps sabotage might not have had
a hand in the sinking.
It was the same with the huge
bomber, of the latest type. It had
been test-fown for two hours one
day, for half an hour the next, and
then the army pilots, both qualified
experts, who had flown several OF
the same ships before, took off.
The speedy bomber sailed into the
air in a normal climb, both engines
working perfectly. Suddenly there
was a series of backfires, a huge
cloud of black smoke poured from
the ship, and she nose-dived into a
woods, killing both men, one an army
oficer-test-pilot, the other a civilian
army inspector-teSt-pilot.

GUARD:
To STAY "In"

Most news commentators and an.
alysts felt, when the National Guard
was indicted into the federal serv-
ice, that they would never get out
after years training.
This was predicated on the dou-
BILE assumption that they would not
be sufficiently trained in a year to
permit them to return to civil life,
and that, second, if the world crisis
continued, they would be needed to
aid in the training of selectees.
Both of these assumptions turned
out to be correct when the war de-
partment asked that Americas $780,
300 guardmen have their period of
training extended. The department
sent the recommendation to the
President, and it seemed certain to
be carried into effect.
The only immediate question was
whether the President himself had
power to order it, or whether it
must be submitted to congress. But
either way, it seemed a certainty.
The move to keep the Guard in
training did not come as a surprise
to the Guardsmen themselves, for
from time to time since they were
first indicted, it was a general topic
of conversation, and most of the
men themselves felt that they were
in for longer than year, perhaps
for "the duration.
The first reason given by the army
was that the Guard units now con-
tanned thousands of selectees, and
that if the Guardsmen were re-
turned to civil life it would disrupt
the entire organization of the army.
The Guards were indicted from
last September to February, and the
war department revealed that from
being just question of converse
ton, now that the Guardsmen were
in mid-year of their training, the
question was being daily put to the
department from thousands of men:
"Are we in for year or longer?"
The war department said the ques-
tons were right and proper, for the
citizen-soldiers, if they are going to
be held in for much longer, will
have to make adjustments in their
civilian affairs.
The tip-off on how the prospects
were came from Representative
Wadsworth of New York, who intro
duced the draft bill, who said that
congress would surely authorize an
other years training if the Presi-
dent requested it.
OUTCOME:
The betting on the probable out
come of the Russian-German hos
tilities was so variable that one
could almost write ones own ticket.
The views ranged all the way from
a swift campaign and a swift sur
render on the part of Russia to the
theory that Britain and the United
States would hurl themselves into
the fray, and that Russia, using the
China technique of ''rubbery" re-
treat, would lure the Nazis into their
vast country until they would suf-
fer the fate of overextended Japan.
Accidentally, without trying to
pick the outcome out of the mystic
chest of the unreliable future, the
event would seem to be completely
along the general British plan for
an eventual victory.
This plan called for the utmost
widening of the German front, the
utmost resentment on the part OF
conquered peoples, the widest posi-
BILE use Of Nazi troops on the larg-
est piece of territory possible.
From this standpoint Hitler was
playing into his enemies hands. But
it was said to be Hitler's view that
Russia had vital supplies he needed.
