JOBS IN AMERICAN FORESTS

Full development of Americas forest lands rep resented by out of every three acres in the United States, could provide each year two million additional men. according to Raymond D. Carver, Director of the Forest Survey of the U s. Forest Service
 In 1886 the forest resource, including all services is estimated to have furnished directly indirectly an equivalent of year-long jobs for almost four m- lion persons Now Carver estimates that full develop ment of the forests could raise this figure to more than six million man-years
 Carver reported that the nations forest resource totals some $50 million acres containing more than 300 billion cubic feet of live timber. Divided up, his would give each American citizen about five cres of forest land compared to France and Ger many where forest land per capita is less than one ere, and with Sweden with per capita of nine acres, Finland with Is acres and Norway with six acres
 The forest land is available, but the job is to crop it so to fill our needs Carver declares that additional forest growth is urgently needed if our quirements We must make adequate provision for future crops of timber of the kind and quality most needed Even in preparedness times it would be wisely"
 Under joint private and public responsibility in the handling of commercially productive forests We should keep our 462 million acres of commercial forest land continuously and fully productive so as 10 furnish ample timber and other services. It should be aim to make forests an integral part of the whole land-use program and unfailing source of employment, stability, and security

The Greatest Story
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Almost every produces its great literature Tn our own generation the smoke of battle has re- solved itself into such unforgettable works as "All Quiet on the Western Front Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls"
 There is reason to suppose that the present conflict will pass into history without leaving one or more equally magnificent stories, though can only what quarter of the fighting will furnish the background
 It may be the tragic and probably unnecessary fall of Sedan. It be the bloody but heroic ation of Dunkerque. It may be the story of grim Greek mountaineers battling Italian tanks, of life in London when the streets split open and the cathe drals go crashing down, perhaps the thoughts of a German bomber pilot as he watches the flames creep over the retreating horizon.
 But prefer to think that the greatest of all the stories is shaping itself in the mind of heroic duties on the wave-swept decks of creaky old freighter blowing its way along democracys icy submarine infested lifeline. His is the story we know the least about and the would like to know the most about Some day, perhaps he will describe for the human events that occur few hours before read those little items in the inside pages about unanswered calls for help from somewhere in the wastes of the north Atlantic
 Out there in those sub-Arctic waters the real war is going on Out there, we believe, the very bravest of the kings men, Out there, far from the eyes of the correspondents their very exis- tence obscured by the censors curtain they go about their daily job of keeping millions in food and weap- chs And daily they look down into the bottomless ocean which may at any moment become their un- marked grave
 Theirs is the story we waiting for. They are the great heroes of this

2. Spread of farm management services for absentee owners, sucI as business men. Already there are several professional societies ot men in this field.
 3. Wholesale elimination of farm labor through mechanization, which is rapidly changing the traditional American concept of the family sized corn bedt farm.
 Our ancestors of three genera tions ago. Taylor warned, found the solution for their goal of in- dependent working farmers, secure on the land, in the land reform clauses of the Homestead Act. To- day the march of mechanization and other economic forces have pro- duced dependence and insecurity on the land for our generation stern necessity compels US to find cur way to maintain Independence and security among those who work the soil.
 One solution of this problem of tered the committee, by pr. Wal ter E. Packard of California, was government ownership Of all farm land on the same basis as forest land. Land speculation has been major factor in the failure of private ownership" Packard said
 NOTE-One of the most interest," ng trends reported by Prof. Taylor vas that the acquisition of farms IS now a rage" among business men. who in several MidWestern cities are holding weekly farmer luncheons" to hear talks by farm management experts. According to Taylor the business men take up arnling partly as a substitute for golf and partly as a safe place to invest funds"

The new Congress finds itself whether it likes he idea not engaged in a race with Adolf Hitler The contest will be to determine whether Congress approve President Roosevelts plan of extending further and substantial aid to Britain than we have given in the past before Hitler completes his plans for the invasion Of England
 It seems certain that the Presidents proposal to lend England the output of American plane and muniuon factories for the duration of the war even tuay will receive congressional approval The ques- ton whether this approval will be forthcoming in time to do the most good for England and for us
 It is not to be expected that decision by 435 Representatives and 96 Senators can be made with the lightning like speed of the Nazi war machine the activities of which controlled by a single dictator. It is well that in nation dedicated to the preservation of democracy any plan far reach ing in effect the Presidents should be thoroughly debated by the elected representatives of the people This however does call stang or filibuster- ing by advocates of appeasement and isolation Such tactics, we convinced, would be deeply resented by the preponderance of American public opinion
 There has been a gradual realization that the tasks of American defense and aid to Britain are not two separate projects but indssoubly linked one The Presidents proposal to lend our ar mament production to England is recognition of the fact that the first line of American defense is now along the chalk cliffs of Dover Presumably, therefore the cost of rearmament whether the im- plements for in the United States or England will be considered as the No. problem facing Con- gress. That there will have to be new Federal taxes increases in existing both is universally recognized.

FARM TRENDS

The hearings of the special House committee Investigating farm migrancy, under the chairmanship of Californias $ kindly Represents i've John Tolan, deserve a lot more
 ttenCion than they have re- ceiyed
 Leading experts have disclosed scme extremely significant facts concerning agricultural trends that are affecting the lives of millions end the future of the United States. Yet 1oland has had a tough time keeping his committee going
 Lack Of public interest due to the European war has played into the hands of elements who oppose doing anything drastic about the migrant problem, among them the California Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Farmers. These forces have persistently tried to block Tolans inquiry by cutting off his funds
 Professor Paul S Taylor of the University of California told the committee of three significant trends:
 l. Rapid enlargement of farms under a single operator In sur vey last summer in the Middle West he founs one 9,0O0-acre grain and livestock farm in Ohio. At the same time, 25000 tenant farmers were unable to obtain farms,

FEEDING EUROPE

No British wartime visitor has scored a bigger personal triumph than slender, scholarly Sir Walter Citrine, secretary of the British Trade Union Congress, who came to the United States to address the AFL convention. in New Or leans. Lest anything he said be construed as propaganda, Sir Wal ter has assiduously avoided dis cuSsing the war.
 At a private gathering, however, labor friends drew him out on Her bert Hoovers proposal to send food to Nazi-occupied Europe. Questioned about Britain's original refusal to lift the blockade for this purpose, Sir Walter studied for a moment and then answered with this story:
 Several months ago the British permitted a cargo of South Ameri- can wheat to pass through the blockade to France. The wheat re- mained in France and was made into bread, but the Nazis seized an equal supply of potatoes from the French food reserve and shipped it to Germany. There the potatoes were converted into al- cohol which was used as solvent in the manufacture of smokeless powder for the German army.
 You see" explained Sir Walter, even when they don't seize them outright, the Nazis make sure they benefit in some way from supplies sent to the occupied countries. We never know when a carload of food that gets through the blockade is coming back at us in the form of bullets"

HOROSCOPE F "The stdrs incline

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY l5

W OtAAN NC Conflicting planetary aspects are lctive in their influence today. The morning is promising to manu- ! featuring and merchandising.
 Heart and Home: Venus today is in place read as not favorable to the ambitions of women, whether hey be sentimental or intellectual. It is a day more fortunate for planning than for any sort of ini- tiative. This is a time for organ ized women to prepare for even wider philanthropic service than has been contemplated. The care of children will engage attention in a way that requires the utmost wisdom and generosity.
 Business Affairs: Experts in trade and commerce problems will contribute much to government pol icies for the new year. While the nation enjoys temporary prosperity it will begin to realize the need of preparing for the future. Closer ties among the peoples of t h c Western Hemisphere will be as- sured as better understanding is brought about by wise diplomacy. Entertainment of distinguished vis- itors from South America will be a feature of the winter. In Wash ington friendly gestures will be made toward the least responsive neighbors and will be successful as old prejudices fall away
 National Issues: In contrast to the secrecy maintained by Nazi and Fascist Governments, the extreme publicity of anything connected with the United States government will be criticized at this time when advance knowledge of our demo9 cratic policies may prove helpful to enemies. Unity of purpose will be evident as ouur patriotism is shown in practical methods of na- tional defense. The building 0f wider foundations upon which to develop as leading world power will gain enthusiastic support 3 of the people.
 International Affairs: Manchu- ria. the Philippines and the East Indies will be greatly disturbed by warlike influences in which China is concerned. Communistic agita- tion will add to the troubles in India. The United States Navy will have ample reason to remain in the Pacific Ocean. The stars pres age unfriendly incidents which may develop into serious conflict.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune to which unexpected bene- fits bring happiness. Domestic hal'- mony is indicated.

Your Foundation Should Fit
As Perfectly as a Suit
BY IDA JEAN KAN

HOW TIMES have changed!
l can remember my little grand
mother hurrying TO corset
sale. trying one on over her
coat, and proclaiming it per-
feet fit. Nowadays, a corset is
fitted more meticulously than a
tailor-made suit.
When you shop for a girdle.
Ruth Merzon, fashionable New
York designer, urges that you
take your time so the proper
adjustments can be made-"be-
cause the fit is everything"
The best plan is to get a gar
ment that feels comfortable
across the largest portion of the
figure and have it taken in
where necessary"
Looks Smoother
II yours is the normal figure.
Miss MerZon says the girdle
will add about an inch to your
waistline.
That increase is TO be eX-
pected. she says and IT allows
for a much smoother distribu-
tion of weight than when the
figure is nipped in to get the
wasp-waisted effect of a couple
of years back.
Take her advice and see to it
that you have plenty of sitting
room. The average figure
spreads at least 8 inches in Sit
ting. The heavy-thighed figure
spreads even more. There should
be enough elasticity in the lower
edge of the girdle to comfort
ably accommodate the spread of
the figure and the girdle should
be long enough that 1t doesn't
creep up.
With heavy thighs, better pro-
portion can be achieved by
wearing bra which adds
slightly to the bust measure
ment-and more about that
later.
On the other hand. the top
heavy figure appears better pro-
portioned with a girdle that
makes the waistline a trifle
smaller and let's the hips appear
a fraction larger.
Boninq
Ordinarily, this authority de-
clares. there is just one reason
for boning: 1t keeps the gar
ment from rolling. But when
the abdomen is very large, a
break may occur in the front
line when the wearer is seated
unless boning is used across the
stomach.
Now, about bras. I thought
had seen everything. But the
latest innovation for the fiat
chested girls has certainly made
me open my eyes. This little
build-up is ingeniously fashioned
of flesh colored, perforated las
tex and is being sewn right into
bathing suits. slips and evening
. gowns.-TheEe's not a chance
