HALFWAY MEASURES
WON'T GET RESULTS

WE AMERICANS all too frequent
~ attempt to accomplish big results
with halfway measures. We are
seldom willing to look any problem
squarely in the face and take full
measures for solving it at one time.
We try to do it piecemeal.
Our problem today Is to prevent
imitation. To do that we say to the
manufacturer-and later it will in
clude the farmer-"you can charge
only SO much for your product" We
do not say to the workman that he
can charge only so much for his
time. We do not say to govern
ment, "Deficit spending for non-es-
sentials must STOP" or elk a def
mite limit on government borrow
ings, = or The tax load on the man
ufacttIrer or farmer must not be In
creased" fA ~'A-s -s1s
To stop with only q limitation on
the price that may be charged for
commodities will not do all the job.
Without the; other. things, it win be
but killing the goose that lays the
golden eggs. ~ st4sl II.
AIR MINDED FARM BOYS
FARM BOYS are taking to the
airways. Flying schools report fully
one-hah of their students come from
the farms and many airplane clubs
are being formed by farm boys.
They fly light planes which can be

SACRIFICES
IT is ALWAYS the other fellow
who is to make sacrifices in the
cause Of national defense, but we all
hope to profit from that other fell
lows sacriice-if he makes it.

SYRIA:
Gets in Var

, MA:
Gets In Var
Names of the worlds oldest
towns, including such as Damascus,
believed the oldest, and Tyre, con-
sidered it's closest rival, got into the
front page headlines as the British
sailed on into Syria, following the
expectations of everyone.
Vichy dispatches told of resist
ance, but except in certain spots the
resistance was of the ''token" vari-
ety-a few shots fired and then the
French troops laying down their
arms, later to join with the British
passively, if not actively.
The invading armies were made
up of British and Free French under
DeGaulle, and seemed to be NOV
ing more or less unchecked into
the chief and most important parts
of Syrian territory.
Chief work of defense was being
done by Nazi warplanes, said to be
based on northern Syrian airdromes
like Aleppo, principal air center OF
the country.
Britain was not referring in her
dispatches to the Syrian advance as
victory, but was rather regard
ing it as simply tactically impor-
tant move to circumvent an expect
ed German move, or at least to meet
it on battle-ground farther removed
from Palestine and Iraq oil fields.
It was obvious that the big Syrian
airfelds were the prime objective,
and that if Britain could get hold of
them and defend them with resident
assistance, good battle might be
put up on Syrian soil, and protect
the ''backdoor" entrance to Suez
and Alexandria.
But the serious resistance near
the coastline, and in southwestern
Syria made it look as though Brit
aims success in this objective would
not be won without a good deal OF
| fighting.
In general, however, the first adj
vances were meeting with good
deal of resident approval, and with
some defections of French colonials
to the DeGaulle standard.
CHURCHILL:
On Spot
Most seriously since the time he
took over leadership Of the war
effort of Britain, Churchill found
himself con the spot" because of
the Crete mishap-and words flew
bitterly around commons and on the
editorial pages of British newspa-
pers as Churchill defended his pro-
gram.
The British leader was holding
firm-refusing cabinet modification
or any step that would even look
like an admission that the Churchill
government was a flop at handling
the war.
Criticism of Churchill was far less
bitter than that which was directed
at Chamberlain, but it was still far
stronger than anything which had
previously been leveled at him.
Much of it came from Leslie
Hore-Belisha, deposed minister OF
war. And Churchill turned on this
former cabinet member and prac-
tically told him to hold his tongue
and to recall that the war ministry
was in 'lamentable condition"
when he laid it down.
Summing up the Crete disaster,
he laid it to inadequate control Of
the air, said the battle was worth
having fought" that it cost the Ger
mans a major effort, and resulted
in the loss of 1900 men and $50
planes, not to mention many surface
ships.
Answering the "why" of not
enough planes, he said "they were
not to be had unless Britain had
been willing to denude the island
itself, and that he did not believe it
a good policy to try to be safe every
where at the cost of being strong no
where.

DUCE:
Calls Names

Celebrating the year that Italy has
been in the war, Mussolini made a
speech to his puppet Legislators in
which he defied the United States
to become more active in the war,
after saying that this country is
really in the war already"
He also ikened President Roose-
welt to Sulla, one Of the bloodiest
and most tyrannica1 Of all the Ro-
man dictators.
Z The Axis would certainly win,
Mussolini told his people, and the
sole effect this country's attitude
would have would be to lengthen the
struggle.
He made no references to Italy's
losses of two-thirds of her empire,
of the 100000 prisoners taken in
North Africa, nor of the losses Italy
had suffered to her fleet.
Mussolini simply placed England
on notice that she was doomed, that
all her positions in the war had been
taken, and that If America wanted
: to send aid she would find no place

Shin Worry

" De-
Ship Worry
The Robin Moor, sunk in the South
Atlantic well within the United
States neutrality zone, was declared
by its few survivors to have been
sunk by a German U-boat, the first
in what most observers expected
would be a series of international
incidents, similar to that Of the Lusi-
tania in the last war.
The Robin Moor went to the bot
tom, bearing seven passengers in
Guiding a little child, and the first
lifeboat, the only one Immediately
found, contained only II survivors.
The other two boats, according to
the evidence of Brazilian ship peo-
pie who went in search, showed on
the surface of the sea some evidence
that they had been lost.
The first notice of the loss was
given as ''the result of a storm at
sea-" but the survivors told their
rescuer that they had been tor
pedoed.
Following these reports by surviv-
ors, authoritative sources in Wash
ington indicated that work on for
NAL note of protest to Germany was
under way by the state department.
It was pointed out that in such
note restitution for loss of Ameri-
can life and property was only what
the Nazis could expect.
.ha While at first the White House had
announced that Judgment should be
withheld" on the incident, later word
came that there seemed to be mo
longer any reason" for that.
The state departments report was
first made public by Summer Welles
at his press conference. He based
his findings on the account OF the
sinking as it came from Walter J.
Linthicum, u. S. consul at Pernam-
buco, Brazil. Linthicum spent nearly
five hours getting the stories Of the
rescued persons. I'll

utensils have copper bottoms which
allow heat to be distributed evenly.

Lack of Vitamin A
Serious Factor in
Night Blindness

The eye is rightly considered by
all of us one Of the most important
organs of the body. Not all of us
realize that eyes may be affected
by a number of nutritional disturb
ances
During the research work with an
| imals, which has covered number
of years, it has been found that
night blindness is an early symp-
tom of vitsmin A deficiency, which
may be relieved in a few hours by
large doses of vitamin A. When
there is a deficiency of riboflavin,
which is one Of the fractions OF the
vitamin B complex, there was in-
! flammation and loss OF hair around
the eyes of the animals. When the
deficiency was prolonged cataracts
/ developed.
! 1t was found that ribofiavin could
prevent these symptoms. but after
! the cataract was formed it could
not be cured by this reatment HUI
man beings affected with night
I blindness have been treated success
fully with vitamin A. Inflammation
and LESSONS Of the cornea have also
been treated successfully with ribo-
! flavin if there has been lack of
this in the diet.
Cataracts in rats have been found
/ to develop in some cases where pro-
tein in the diet has been kept low
1t is a fact that cataract is more
prevalent in India than in any other
country of the world The usual diet
has very low protein content. In
our own country cataract and old
age are linked together. 1t has been
suggested that future study may
show that the low protein and vita
min content of diet in later life may
be one of the causes of cataract.

Fruit Peels
Are Easily
.Candied
Basic Recipe Used
For Most Types
Very Simple

Whenever l prepare candled
orange or grapefruit peel. have
such a good, thrifty feeling. as every
woman does when she thinks she is
making something from nothing.
Nothing is better than homemade
peels of this sort to use as con-
lection, as well as in the Christ
mas puddings and fruitcakes. You
may candy lemon peel for the latter
purpose, although 1t is not particu-
larly good as a confection.
The general process is the same
for all fruit peels. Those of strong
flavors, such as lemon and grape
fruit. need to be cooked in several
waters and drained between the
boilings so that the pungent, bitter
flavor will be removed. They can
stand a longer cooking because the
peel of these fruits is tougher than
that of the orange. After the peel
| is cooked, it must be scraped before
| it is cut in thin strips with scissors.
Don't try to cook too much peel
/ in the sirup at one time. 1t Is
much easier to have two saucepanS
going when you are making a large
quantity. Either powdered or gram
ulated sugar may be used for roll
| ing the candied peel after 1t has
cooked. I prefer the latter.

Manners
of the
Moment

It's diflcult to understand why
the largest people in an elevator
must necessarily stand right IN
front of the door. and always must
ride to the top floor.
I think elevator starters should
be taught traffic management. They
should see to it that the big man
headed for the thirty-eighth flocr
stand at the back. And that the
little girls headed for the third
floor stand at the front.
But II elevator starters aren't
up to that. then people riding in
elevators should use their heads.
If they are going very high, they
should gradually worm their way to
the back Of the car And If they
are getting OF early they should
plant themselves firmly near the
front of the car, and, as others
brush past them glowering, they
should say, sorry, but I get of
next. You can climb over me now,
or I'll have to climb over you later.
