WE ARE shocked to hear that
" some authorities consider
the draft age of 35 too high.
There is talk of dropping 1T
to Is for low and fixing point
in the mid-twenties as the top.
1t is said that the army is
finding much of the material
sent it for stuffing uniforms a
bit shop-worn when ii comes In
beyond the late twenties. and
not wholly suitable for army
purposes.
AS we understand it, one rea-
son for this shortcomlng Is the
fact that many of the twenty
Fighters and twenty-nlnerS and
thirty-ers have settled down 10
steady jobs and to grooved
habits of lifes and il is difficult
to revamp them for the army.
But il is also said that in many
cases a physical deterioration
has commenced TO set in at
these ages, and this is the facer
to us.
For years we have been read
ing about the athletic prowesS
of this nation. Of our suprem-
acy in nearly all fields of
sinewy endeavor. We have been
reading of the eve. increasing
spread of our devotion to sport,
to boxing. football, baseball,
and here lately skiing and the
like of that.
We have been positively en-
thralled by the feats of our
chest-beaters of the golf courses
and the tennis courts.
WE HAVE viewed in great
~, seSnirat inps~,thsse killeeC-
oilers displaying their manly
forms on the beaches in short
shorts and have said to ourself.
well, one thing we will never
have TO worry about is the pau
city Of big shoulders.
And now we are told that we
must discard the more mature
muscles and pick them younger,
even if scrawnier.
II gives us a feeling of sad
establishment TO reflect that
some of those guys we have
been looking upon as moder-
ately young Herculeses may be
but hollow shells.
OF course, the height Of ath-
letic prowess is usually IN the
late teens and early twenties
and thereafter1rno man is the
man he usedHo be.
But it never struck us that
the carefully laid foundations of
large biceps could crumble in
the few years stretch between,
say 25 and 35. 10 such an extent
that the army would develop a
preference. for kids with practi-
cally no fur on their bosoms.
However. we hope and trust
the army will withhold final
judgment on the upper brackets
of the draft age until it secs
one of its newest recruits. a
fresh Matched soldier who, we
believe, will do much TO restore
confidence in the thirty-ers as
/ mcn-at-armS.
He may be the one TO prove
! that the army has just not been
getting the right fellows in that
age division.
Furthermore. he may be the
test of our various schools OF
thought on physical conditioning.

Americans Scorn War

ANANALYSIS Of American public opinion recently
a prepared for the New York Times by Hadley Cantrl
director Of the Princeton public opinion research PROJECT
showing the following facts:
That on Nav of this year approximately So per
cent of the American people believed the United states
WILL 60 to
That on the same day only 10 percent of the Amori-
people thought the United States SHOULD so to war
Are not these the most amazing facts?
What conditions possibly exist IN a democratic
nation to convince SO per cent of the people that WSt
which 90 per cent OF the people do not want inevitable
WHAT is driving them into a war they do not want?
w More important, WHO is doing il?
Do we No longer have government of the people
for the people and By the people?
How did the present government acquire its authority,
if not by the consent of the people?
If il does represent the 90 per cent 81 me
people who think the United States SHOULD NoTG GO TO
WAR, indeed whom DOES it represent
According to the Princeton charts. the OPINION
bracket of those who favor outright war has NEVER
included more than 10 per cent.
For y months il has been the ONLY REALLY
STABILIZED OPINION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
On almost all other issues connected with the war
the Princeton charts show American opinion mas
fluctuated.
WHILE in September 1889 slightly more than 90 per
w cent OF the people thought war for America was
Inevitable less than 80 per Thought in July 1910
and the present atac so per cent has only now been
reached after wavering climb from that low
The percentage Of Americans favoring about ald TO
Britain has uctuated between Is per cent IN March l94O
to about so per cent at the present time
As Director Cantril of the Princeton project com
mens these latter opinions have ebbed and flowed WITH
of the rejecting the peaks and derssons
of emotions naturally sympathetic with Britain
But on the only really VITAL issue, IN point OF
American nerest-that of staying at peace or gong TO
war-the overwhelming majority OF those OpPOSING
WAR has remained AMAZINGLY AND CONSISTENTLY
constant.
TT is .undebatedly patriotic and moral mistake, and
might even prove to be POLITICAL mistake
The American people will undoubtedly make it very
clear to their when they ready for war
Perhaps they should take more pains to make II
equally clear that they expect the United states 10 DC
kept out of until they desire war.
Something mysterious, undemocratic and potentially
disastrous has happened If 80 per cent OF the american
people can be swept into they do not wantby an
ambitious and obstinate and autocratic administration

racy done.

High Sierra" comes to the Strand tomorrow afternoon with Ida Lu- pino md Humphrey Bogart in the co-stf.rring leads.
 With Bogart as the last of the Dillinger mob, and Miss Lupino as his sweetheart, High Sierra" pro- mises to be the most action-packed picture of the year. Supported by cast which includes Alan Curtis, Arthur Kennedy, Henry Hull, Henry Travers and Joan Leslie. The two stars, Bogart and Miss Lupino are said to triumph in the two top roles.
 Bogart will be seen at Roy Earle, strange sort of criminal to whom crime is unpleasant, but neverthe- less necessary, business. It is role somewhat reminiscent of the one he played so brilliantly in his first mo- ton picture 'The Petrified Forest"
 Miss Lupino takes the part of the girl who loves him so much that she eventually proves his. downfall. An- other member of the cast whose love helps to lead to his eventual un- doing is a small loyal and loveable wire-haired terrier named "Pard'' who plays an important part in the picture.
 The co-feature of the program is "No, No Nanette" with Anna Nea- gle and Richard Carlson.
 Put this show on your must list and be sure to see 1t at the Strand tomorrow. Remember the Strand still boasts the lowest prices in town and, of course. the best of all the big hit pictures.

Ending tonight at Warmers State theeter is "The Mad Doctor" with Basil Rathbone, Ellen Drew and John Howard: also "The Monster and the Girl' with Robert Paige, Ellen Drew, Onslow Stevens and large cast.
 A new "glamorous" Deanna Dur bin comes to the screen at the State tomorrow afternoon in her ninth successive hit Nice Girl"
 Loaded with comedy and music, "Nice Girl" is expected to take its place among the hits in which the popular star has grown up from the ingenue sensation of "Three Smart Girls" to the charming young lady seen most recently in Spring Par ade."
 The producer, Joe Pasternak maker of all the successes starring Deanna, has provided the star her most mature vehicle, combined with what is easily her most outstanding supporting cast to date.
 Franchot Tone, Walter Brennan, Robert Stack, Robert Benchley, Helen Broderick, Ann Gillis, Anne GWynne, Elizabeth Risdon and Mana Bryant are the headliners in the supporting cast.
 The story presents Deanna as a .typicay small-town mice girl" who tires of being one-so she escapes through a romantic escapade with a young New Yorker, played by Tone. Deanna thereby becomes subject of a town scandal which is quelled only after her engagement" to Tone is announced. Then Tone re- appears to complicate situation which provided much hilarity be- fore 1t reaches its surprising finish.
 During the course of the picture Deanna sings five numbers and the remarkable voice that has won mill lions of admirers is said to be bet- ter than ever. The songs include stephen Fosters "Old Folks At Home and four new songs: Per haps," 1ove At Last" Beneath the Lights of Home" and "Thank You, America" the latter stirring patriotic number.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present MT. Dynamite" with Lloyd Nolan, Irene Hervey and J. Carol Naish.
 Put this show on your must list and you'll be in for one of the best screen treats of the year.
