IL any we're ormed, is obout
500. This includes ships in the
South American trode and
ships on the Pacific. n, in oddi-
ton TO these, !. was deemed
advisable to arm u. S. ships

future would have to be done
by destroyers or cruisers oct

There is q limited supply Of
deck guns left over from the
lost war, and while they might

this present war has one real
hozord which wos merely NOM

preston and oppression have never

strength which eventually grew into

the japanese invasion, and today -
Chino united, her diverse peoples fused
into q brotherhood Of suffering whose

Britoin was disunted, O people torn

Die are one in the brotherhood Of their

Thus with the Jewish captivity in
Eoypt and Babylon - coptves ond

their persecution. Today they live and

today, he noted, the Nozis compel the
Jews to wear the yellow Stor Of Dovid.
They intend it as q badge Of dishonor.
But It is q signal Of brotherhood; on
outward sign to distinguish brothers,
symbol of an inward and unconquer-
obIe strength. Polish Catholics ore olso
compelled to wear q distinguishing
badge. Shall they not greet one another
as brothers, just os the eory Christions
did in Rome?
The greater the persecution, the
stronger the brotherhood thot rises
from it, II is this spirit, rising from this
horrible but ineseopoble way Of driving
in upon men their essential brother
hood that will not only beat Hitler in
the end, but guide the world toward
better, cleaner ways Of living together

Man Also Flattered

They do say that some time In q
mans life he has fallen in love. or
thought he had, with an older wo-
man. believe this Is true and here
again the old. natural response to
dattery Is at the bottom Of It all. A
charming woman can completely
captivate q younger man largely
because he is extremely fiattered BY
her interest in him. Whether she
can continue to charm him Is some
thing else again. She certainly has
to keep mentally as well as physic-
ally on her toes to compete with
women who are his contemporaries.
But then SO does the old man who
marries q wife much younger than
he. All Of which seems to me to
argue for marriages between those
Of more or less the same age. They
are more likely to have tastes in
common and an equal capacity for
enjoyment Of them. Besides which
they see the path ahead from the
same starting point. One isn't
either way ahead or way behind
the other. They start out shoulder
to shoulder and therefore see eye to
eye.

Ex.Actress Sells

dull-sounding OUTFIT known Is the

these.
Miss Macredy flew here In Sep

Miss Macredy reminds one Of
Madeleine Carroll. She Is not quite

very alive and vital about her. Her
manner Is quiet.
Miss Macredy acted in Victoria

q few plays. Hollywood
gave her q contract after q screen
test In which she read from "Au

There are women who. because Of
one consideration or another, essay

I doubt very much II they are ever
happy. again conceding that there
may be exceptions.
Certainly there Is q better UNDER
standing. more communion Of In
terestS, and therefore q more COM
plete c0mpanionship possible be-
tween any two persons Of approx.
mately the same age. Three or four
years isn't enough OF difference to
IOHCCeT, OUT Ten Is.
Young girls are often very much
dattered by the attention Of older
men, q state of mind which Is easy
to understand. But In order to Be
happily married one has to be more
than flattered. besides which there
are certainly two ways to look upon
the subject. The usual one is that
the older man, being more discrim.
mating because Of his experience
with women. fatters the girl he sin.
giles out for his attention. But tho
other Is that 1t isn't discrimination
at all. it's the natural attraction all
older men feel for youth, 30 when
girl gets this angle on the subject
she is anything but flattered.
