According to the rules of the

anchors on short chains.
During the period that the
United States was actually and
officially engaged in World War
I. total of 1.150 lives were lost
in naval engagements and DIS
asters: ships numbered five
transports and - others. And
for what?
Every time we get away from
tidewater we are the loser. Last
weekend we visited a friend
who fancies himself as a gentle
man farmer and landed squire.
We spent the day splitting bean
poles and pounding them into
the dirt. Never liked beans,
anyhow.
All branches OF the military
are turning handsprings these
days in an effort to catch re-
cruits. Now the new coast guard
reserve wants 1928 officers and
men. The navy is already on
the prowl for a hundred thou
sand or so men. And the army
is taking plenty of guys catch
as-catch-can meanwhile. Where
are they all coming from?
Speaking of things military
and who can avoid it nowadays?
we seem to detect increasing
gloominess in the talk Of per-
sons who are qualified to have
more or less weighty opinions
on the subject. 1t can't all be
nerves, surely.
Among other important NOR
sells in our mailbag today is a
communique stating that yachts
visiting Florida waters this year
will be free from an old state
tax. So now you can change
your mind and go there after all.
Art Sadow, generally coded
to be the prettiest Sea Scout
executive eabouts, just
stopped in to say he doubts that
he'll be able to chauffeur the
Outcalt and cargo of girl
mariners on the annual junket
to British Columbia. Says the
singing of lullabies plus toads
in his bunk were his undoing
last summer.
In an emergency, wad of
chewing gum can be used nicely
to stop leak in a gasoline tank.

suggest that "a stick in time
will save. etc" Excuse it, please.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
TEACHERS SUFFER IN
PAY COMPARISONS

Editor. The Times: A Tacoma
high school teacher who now
must have five years of college
training and two years of teach
ing experience. receives S1,316
for his first years service to the
city. After nine years of serv-
ice he may receive $3.50. This
is approximately the amount a
Tacoma fireman receives for his
first years work.
In three years the fireman's
salary reaches $1,000. 1t re-
quires IL years for the high
school teacher to reach the maxi
mum of S2.005 yearly. Further
more, during this period it is
necessary for the teacher TO
spend time and money earning
additional college credits, nine
years, to maintain his teaching
certificate.
Firemen are indispensable
public servants and merit all the
remuneration they receive. But

are they to the welfare of a
community?

cation Of the people-as well as
the desire of all fair minded
citizens pay for all services

WHY DO CHILDREN EAT?

There are times when the pro-
found observations of scientists i'm
press the practical-minded individ-
ual as being a bit far-fetched. These
technically minded individuals
study situation or condition and
then make their conclusion with
great gravity as though it were an
impregnable fact.
In this complacent category is DR..
Carl Binger of New York who, after
observing the eating habits of chill
dren, Opines that child frequently
eats because it is unhappy
Maybe New York children are
different from the common or gar
den variety of child, such as we
have out here in Ohio, and offhand
we don't know whether the doctor
has any progeny of his own with
which to experiment. However, his
conclusions just don't impress us at
all, expect that they're wrong.
Let us take a hypothetical case.
Let US take a couple Of young boys

Sunday school at 1920, and a bas-
ket dinner at noon, to which every
one did justice. At 1:3O pro-
gram of music, readings and talks
was enjoyed, followed by contests
and visiting The day being ideal
it was largely attended by the local
people and the following from dis
tance: Mr. and Mrs. Sylvanus Engle,

The doctor overlooks the fact
that boys stomach is perhaps the
most curious invention of nature.
Theoretically, it will hold about a
quart. Actually, 1t will hold a gal
lon, just the same as two-pas-
senger roadster may be made to ac-
commodate 10 persons.
Children eat candy, ice cream
sodas, ice cream, and everything
else they can get their hands on be-
cause they're children. Maybe the
doctor will explain why young boys
look cholera morbus straight in the
eye and devour green apples which
would give an ostrich acute indi-
gestion; why they brave the wrath
of the watermelon culturist and his
outspoken double-barrel shotgun to
filch melons in the moonlight, when
they have plenty to eat at home.
Contrary to the doctors views, a
child does not eat because he is un-
happy. He is unhappy when he
can't eat. Childhood is the only
time of life when one may eat with
out thought to the stomach, vita
minis, calories, kilowatts or other
fauna and flora. If it gives him the
stomach ache, he doesn't worry
about it beforehand And he doesn't
hold a grudge against anything that
upsets him. He eats it again the
next time he has a chance.
What childhood needs is more
good cooking and less psychology

STAND FIRM

With the realignment of powers
in Europe there has arisen among
many of our people a sense of con-
fusion, fostered and augmented
wherever possible by those who are
trying to divide the nation, and who
wish to veil the real issue involved.
If we listened to them, we would be-
live that we were forced to take
either the road to the left or the
road to the right.
This is not the case. It is not
choice between the pagan bestiality
of the NaziFacist regimes and the
goddess bestislity of the Communist
overlords. The blood guilt lies on
both. and the foulness Of their deeds
offends the nostrils of Americans IN
equal degree.
AS a people we learned our lesson
in the era of gang wars. We know
that we cannot sit idly by and let
two mobs kill each other off, while
we go on rocking serenly and say
ing, Good riddance to bad rub
bish." We have got to get up and
clear out both gangs, and common
sense tells us that we have to begin
with the one whose gun is pointing
our way.
The policies of our government
have not changed overnight. We
still as a nation are against all of
the totalitarian idealogies which
enslave human beings and make a
mockery of all the principles we re-
we're. But we are a practical peo-
pie, and we have to tackle jobs in
the order of their immediacy. We
know that our present task is to re-
arm speedily and we'll, to rush aid
to Britain in this her God given
hour of opportunity before Ar
mageddon, and to prepare for the
worst while we earnestly pray for
the best.
minute of respite before the storm
to strengthen the bulwarks of our
defense, we must not jump tc
/ false conclusions or be led astray in
false judgments. Through the try
ing hours ahead, while the rain OF
epithets-"Nazi," "Red," ''Nazi,
"Red," falls upon our ears, we must
stand firm, looking beyond the
scaremonger to the shadowy figure
prompting him. If we keep in mind
that these mlScreantS now so bitter
ly assailing each other were broth
ers in blood such a short time ago,
united in their task of scuttling the
ship of democracy, we can see them
in the proper perspective and go
on as individuals, as a people, and
as a nation, doing the task we know
we have to do. This is still Amer
lea. This is still our democracy.
The principles upon which our ma
tion was governed have not been
changed by the new lineup in
Europe.
''Go to your work and be strong,
halting not in your ways, banking
the end half-won for an instant
dole of praise. Stand to your work
and be wise-certain of sword and
pen. Who are neither children nor
Gods, but men in world of men!"

ARMY LIFE IN CALIFORNIA

Following is a letter received by
George Price, from Private Kenneth
Ray:
Hello George From what I've
read of California's climate I'm not
real sure that we're in California.
It's plenty hot and awfully dry.
Last week the thermometer was hit
ting around 115 and 120 every day
but it's cooler this week. There was
light drizzle the second day we
were here, and someone said that
was the first rain for two and
half months. Judging by some truck
tracks along the roads though
have decided their winter and
spring season is about as wet as the
summer is dry. The nights are very
COOL use two wool blankets near
ly every night. That's the thing
that makes the climate enjoyable.
1 really didn't mind the heat as
much as l do at home, because the
air is dry.
Perhaps you would like to know
some of our routine. We get up at
4:4O (formerly 5:10O, make our
beds and fall out for reveille at
4:55; breakfast at $40; clean the
barracks until six O'Clock, when we
have drill call. We have drill until
about $50, and come into the bar
racks by 1000, and rest until
1890, when we eat. At 1880 We
have some more drill, but most OF
the afternoons so far have been TAX
en- up by lectures. Yesterday after
noon and this afternoon we started
playing softball at 2 o'clock and
played until 3:30-our quitting
time. Right down my alley, eh?
Last week was tough one. We
were shooting rifles for record,
which meant marching three miles
each day, being out in the sun all
day, and long hours. always lik-
ed guns and thought knew some
thing about them, but have decided
| didn't know so much.
Our food isn't half bad. Plenty
of good solid food, but not always
as appetizing as MONS. We always
have chicken on Sunday; steak
about once a week. I've been on
X. p. (kitchen police) once, and
had to wait table once. Table wait
