SPANKING STILL POPULAR

We learned the other day that II per cent of the
children of the United States get spanked.
When statistical studies reach the stage where
such subjects spankngs covered it would
though about everything in the world must now have
been polled.
But the spanking survey, made by the Reed Chill

For the poll wasn't just concerned with spanking 1t

One of the subjects it covered, in questioning 10000
children their attitude toward 1t was found
that 27 per of these children think the United States

The idea of alyzng the opinion of children should

A HEALTHY GENERATION

When We hear about the great number of young
who rejected by the army because of their
health it would appear though the Oming generation
pretty feeble group. Heart trouble tooth defects
and other maades usually associated with old have
been the cause of many reflections.
But the Metropolitan Life Insurance company which
has good to make exhaustive studies OF the health
of the nation says that the health of the American
people, including the young of selective service
is better than before in history.
Based on a study made of reflections for poor health
the Metropolitan company points out that the chief
for reflections the drastic standards of selection
"In 1917-18 says the report, "both the methods of
selection and the organization of the draft
TALLY emergency procedures, developed after

transporting huge army in the shortest possible time
This situation tended to discourage too rigid standards of
selection Yet despite the immediate urgency of the sit
uation in 1918, approximately onequarter of the
draftees were rejected altogether and nearly onehrd
were unavailable for general military service.
"n contrast, administration of the present Seectve
Service Act begun in time and only the best
and healthest of Americas young being selected
fer service Greater emphasis is being placed weed
tai well the physical stress of modern More
over, medical examinations complete and
curate owing the better training of physicians and to
the improvement and wider of physical and abOra-
tory facilities for diagnosis"
Judging from this report young man needn't feel
that he isn't good health because the army doesn't
him. 1t just that he isn't physical super
man.

but many congressman believe this
is tied up SO closely with price
fixing that it will have to be en-
acted soon.
Still the leading question, from
the civilian and business stand
point, is the question of the taxes
which we will pay next year. 1t is
quite certain that the man Of
small income will pay about three
times what he paid last year, but
the chief subject of debate now is
whether to tax those six million
tax payers who We're not taxed
this year-who earn $3.50 to $500
if they are single and $500 to
$4,000 if married.
Over-shadowing all of our emer-
gency legislation is the question of
the true peril faced by this ma
tion and the need for acting as If
We are on the verge of war. De-
bate over extension of the service
of slectees and National Guards
men, beyond their required year
of training shows there is still a
lot of anti-war sentiment in con-
gress and a good deal of pressure
by the people in many sections to
keep out of any involvement in
the war. Debate also shows the
question of our war peril is still
guided by party lines, the ma
jority of Democrats holding to the
policies of the administration and
the majority of Republicans ques

The people in the Eastern states
are awaiting with keen interest
the next move of Secretary Ickes
to curb their use of gasoline. Pre-
liminary studies of the curfew on
the sale of gasoline, under which
motorists cannot buy gasoline
after pm. show it to be rather
ineffective. Advertising in big city
newspapers, urging the people not
to waste gasoline, also has not
had the effect it would have In
smaller towns. In the cities
where people see taxis continuing
to cruise on every street, the
motoring public doesn't seem to
take such appeals seriously.
1t is expected that after Labor
day rationing of gasoline may be-
gin. Meanwhile, many of those
dealing with the problem feel that
the curfew is at least being help.

the shortage of gasoline in the

FASHIONS hats
Most every man thinks up-to
date fashions are silly.
At least he does until his own
wife or daughter puts on a dress
or hat which is out of style-and
then he is ashamed to walk down
the street with her.
l wouldn't want to come right
out in print to defend those mon
key-hats which women are wear
ing these days. But | am willing
to admit that, although l don't
like those hats, I'd prefer to have
my wife wear one than to have
her wear a hat which l did like a
few years ago but which is now
out of style.
Women are slaves of fashion to
the extent of wanting the newest
thing. Men are more slaves of
convention-they don't like to see
themselves too conspicuous and
they know a woman is least con
spicuous when she dresses like
other women. Men resent changes
in wOmen's clothes-but when the
changes come they resist for a
while and then accept them as in
evitable. But by the time they do
begin to get used to a new style
it is already old--fashioned and a
new fashion is introduced. Thus
men are kept in continual state
of dissatisfaction over women's
clothes.
At least those are some of the
conclusions l reached as l sat at a
window watching the hats stroll
by.
MEN coIors
The garment industry. which
has so successfully sold women on
the idea that they should change
styles every season, has never
been able to put such a plan over
for men.
| remember when there was a
lot of ballyhoo about blue shoes
for men, but l never saw a man
wearing blue shoes. There have
been attempts to get men interest
ed in bright colOrs in suits, as
step toward paving the way for
style changes for men, but 1t
never worked
Men seem to be born conserva-
tives so far as style-changes are
concerned. Consequently, changes
are made so gradually that men
don't see them going on until they
suddenly discover that the cuffs
on their old trousers are narrower
than on their new ones-and from
then on they feel a little uncom-
Portable in those old pants.

WASHINGTON

Washington, ID. c.. (NWNS)-A
near panic among small business
men of the nation is apparent here
as more and more of them contact
their congressman and the Office
OF Production Management to find
out what they can do to get the
raw materials on which their bust
nesses depend.
Complaining that priorities for
defense make it impossible for
them to get materials for civilian
products, they say they are being
forced out of business. They also
point out that they are forced to
let their employees go and refer
/ to priority unemployment" as be-
ing serious threat to the welfare
of the people.
Several branches of the govern
ment are trying to solve this prob
lem, but in many cases no solution
is expected to be forthcoming. Eli
ther these small manufacturing
plants will have to find some de-
tense product they can make or
Will have to close up their shops.
The small business men and their
employees will be the first to SUI
fer from this state of affairs, but
it will soon be felt by the consum-
ers when they find they can no
longer buy many products which
they want.
The sacrifice of which Presi-
dent Roosevelt spoke last March is
now closing in on us, it is ap-
parent here. Last March, the
President said:
Whether you are steel work
er or a stevedore, a machinist or
housewife, a farmer or a bank
er, storekeeper or a manufacture
er-to all of you it will mean
sacrifice in behalf of your country
and your liberties. Yes, you will
feel the impact of this gigantic
effort in your daily lives. You will
feel 1t in way that will cause
you many Inconvenience"
To make our sacrifices as pain
less as possible is the aim of all
government departments, but it is
going to call for cooperation on
the part Of the people and of busi-
ness by showing their willingness
to go into new kinds of work,
move their homes and take steps
which involve risk rather than
stability.
Legislation is being pushed to
control the domestic situation,
with price fixing constituting the
spearhead of this drive. When the
President is given full power to
fix prices he will undoubtedly dele
gate that power to Leon Hender-
sons Office of Price Administra-
ton and Civilian Supply. Mr.. Hen
derson is expected to call for vol
unteer fair price and fair rent
committees in all communities and
will fix ceilings On prices of all
goods which would otherwise go
on price spree.
The price fixing measure, under
the present plan, will be enforced
largely by the people, who will be
given the right to sue for $50 or
three times the value of their pur-
chase when they pay higher than
the fixed price. If the purchaser
doesn't take legal action, the gov
ernment itself will have the right |
to take action and impose a heavy
fine.

clothes have changed considerab-
ly. But nobody knows when the
changes were made, they were
done SO quietly and unObtrustive-
ly.
But 1t is possible that styles for
men may make more rapid
changes in the near future. For
the garment people have discover
ed that men will consider changes
SO far as sport clothes are con-
cerned. First they sold them
knickers few years ago. Then
they somehow made knickers pas
Sc and sold slacks for sport wear.
Then various kinds of changes in
shirts were made and bright
colored sport coats were put over.

be more radical about their
clothes during their play hours

men to carry it into their daily
life, you can't tell what will hap.

The idea of a freezing" of all

is an interesting one to consider.
suppose 1t was decreed that
1El1 SfVl0c would IaS
nitely-that the dresses for sale
next year would be exactly the
same as those sold this year.
Certainly it would provide a big
cash saving for every well-dressed
woman. And men, for once, would
have an opportunity to get used
to dress before it went out of
style. But such a possibility is out
of the question.
The only way American women
could be unsold on style would be
to put all women in uniform. And
even il that happened. the uni
form would be considered this
years style and they would de.
mand a different set of uniforms
for next year.
But it isn't just the women who
demand style changes. It's the
hundreds of thousands of people
who are In the clOthes-making and
selling industries. Their jobs de-
pend on style changes.

Although the shortage of silk,

doubt that they are already at

ashamed to wear them during
1912.
It's hard to imagine now-but
wait until a few Hollywood gals
tell how they love cotton stock
ings and they'll become a fashion
in no time.
In fact. it's strange thing that
silk stockings have been kept In
style as long as they have. I'm
doubtedly, ways would have been
thought up to make last years

HERE'S A LESSON IN SPELLING

Homer Croy, the writer came to my house to dinner
and we talked about the odfashioned spelling schools
we had back in Missouri. Although he is word-worker
and adjectiveuggler he said for many years he had
trouble spelling certain everyday words. At last, he
worked out memory logger for those words, and his
method is simple and useful that I'm going to pass
to you. think you will spend minutes on them
you'll never misspe these words again.
For instance, do you know when it's spelled "Cap
to and when it's spelled "captal?" It's very simple
When you the building with the round dome on it,
is spelled with 90" Just think of the dome on the
building being round like 90 and then spell it that
way The rest of the time capital is spelled with an
"a"
When you go to store to buy letterheads and enve
lopes how do you spell the kind of store you patron
izing? 1t is Stationery" store it Stationary
store? Well, here's Homer's rule: Remember that the
store which has "e in the last syllable sells
lopes The word with any other meaning is spelled with
an "a in the last syllable Simple, isn't it?
Here's word that nearly everybody misspels
ECSTASY. People spell it 'esctacy'-ending the word
in icy" Unsteady of "sy Here's Homer's rule that
You're crazy if you put c in the last syllable Crazy
is spelled with &C.
Now to give YOU test: 1t is "embarrass?" Or is
it "embarass?" That is does it have one "r' or two
rs?" Here's his rule for conquering that one He
pares it to harass One word has only 'r' in it
the other has two The short word only has one r'-
one reason for it being short!
Is the head of school 'prncpal" or "prin-
cipe?" Well the way to remember that is that the
principal of school should be a pal
When started to country school l was poor spell
er, and of the words had trouble with was "geog-
