ARMY MORALS

Genial Mark McCloskey, the Fed
eral Security agency'S recreation
expert, has the soldiers moral lapse
figured down to one crucial hour.
This hour is the one during which
he waits for bus or train to take
him back to camp.
McCloskey, whose job it is to wor-
ry about such things and work with
the army and navy, has doped out
that if time drags heavily during
that hour of waiting the soldier may
make for honky- tonks-and who's to
blame him?
1.-THE smart thing to do" McClos-
key says, sis to brighten up the
terminals. Give the boys a place
to shoot pool, get some good chow
at low prices, and read new maya
zines. Some pretty mattresses for
the boys to kid won't hurt any
either"
He doesn't think a tour through
the museum of art or a brisk walk
do much to combat temptation. In
stead he'd like to see every town
near a camp organize an honest-to-
goodness information bureau for the
men.
''If the boys want to go to a
dance, get date, visit with some
patriotic family, or see a ball
game, the community ought to ar
range it for them," contends McClos-
key.
He beams when he mentions the
200 girls at the Tom Huston pea
nut factory at Columbus, Ga,
who volunteered to act as host
esses for soldiers at dances and So
cial events.

EFFECTIVE PROPAGANDA
VIA BALLOON

IN THE FIRST World war, Lord
Northcliffe, publisher of the London
Times, was assigned the job of dis
tributing anti-war propaganda in
Germany. When we entered the
war, James Kelley, then one of the
best-known American newspaper
men, was given a similar assign
ment by our government, and he
worked with Northcliffe in London.
Lord Northcliffe devised unique
and practical method of distributing
propaganda in Germany. He used
small gas-filled balloons. To each
of these he attached on slow
burning fuse hundreds of leaflets
printed in German. With favor
able wind blowing towards Ger
many, thousands of these balloons
were released just behind the Allied
lines. AS the wind carried them
over German territory, the burning
of the fuse would release the leaf
lets a few at time. The ever
tightening load would keep the bal
looms afoat until they had Travelled
so far as hundred miles into Ger
many. Several million copies of
President Wilson's famous Flag day
speech, printed in German, were de-
hvered to the German people by
that method.
Lord Northcliffe told me in Lon
don a few days after the signing of
the Armistice that he believed the
distribution of that one piece of prop
uganda had more effect on the break
in German morale than anything
else they had done.
He emphasized that statement by
pounding my knee so hard that it
was sore for some time.
PAYING THE DEBT
SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS add
ed to what we owe means adding to
the debts of each family of five
about $3.50.
That is each family's share of the
added national indebtedness.
Future generations will pay it if
this generation does not.
If this generation does pay, it will
be with initiation money which will
be worthless.
The families of this generation
will at least pay an additional inter-
est charge of $16.8O each year.
IMPROVEMENT
TWO-THIRDS and better of the
American people are well housed,
well fed and well clothed.
Admitting, if necessary, that one
third is not, they still are better fed,
better housed and better clothed
than two-thirds of the people of most
European countries.
Each generation In America has
seen decrease in the percentage
of the submerged class.
The application of European meth
DDS will do more to stop our prog
ress than to aid it

TIPS to
Gardeners
GARDENING AS HOBBY


GARDENING as a hobby can
- be made to pay excellent div
idends. AS an example, a Mis-
souri, woman reports she made a
net profit of $500 from her two
thirds-acre garden in a single sea-
son. Figured at market prices,
food used fresh was $3.50; food
canned, $50; and food stored, ST..
Seed and sets cost her only $40.
There are two major requisites
to obtaining garden profits of this
kind. They are, willingness to
work and the use of quality seed.
It is important also to devote
considerable space to multiple pur-
pose crops like beets, onions, and
tomatoes-crops that can be used
in variety of ways.
Here, briefly, are the uses of
principal multi-purpose crops; On
ions - green, as relish; mature
bulbs fried, stewed, or as season
ing; bulbs for pickle, and relish
making; tops for seasoning; bulbs
for storage. Tomatoes = fresh
fruits for slicing or stewing, for
immediate table use; for canning,
or for making tomato juice, or to-
mato catsup; green tomatoes for
frying, or for use in pickle rel
isles, or in pie filler (like mince
meat; yellow fruits for preserves,
juice, or immediate table use.
Cabbage-fresh in slaw, or sal
ad; cooked for table use; canned
as kraut, or stored. Beets-tops
for greens; roots cooked fresh,
canned, picked, or stored.

MAKE Fl MAXIMUM AGE
FOR THE DRAFT
IN WASHINGTON there is now
some talk of changing the present
draft law and instead of taking men
up to 35 years Of age, to fix
maximum of not over Is.
That would be move in the right
direction, but why go as far as %
years for the maximum?
In this country approximately
100000 men reach the voting age
OF Il each year. Up to that age but
a very small percentage has become
settled on lifetime job or has mar
ried and established a home and
family. These young men could, at
some time between the ages of 10
and 81, devote a year to military
training without any sacrifice of po-
sition for themselves, their families
or society in general. In fact, a
year of soldering at that age would
be a distinct advantage to the great
majority, physically and mentally.
They would still be at formative
age, when such training would be
beneficial in the making of better
citizens, when it would tend to break
down class distinctions.
Taking these young men at some
time between Is and 81 years would
provide at least 100000 men to be
trained each year, and that is about
as many as we could handle or pay
for. With all the hysteria that has
gripped America, we have actually
indicted into the conscript army
much less than half a million men
since the passage of the draft act.
We are not going to fight war for
the next three to five years at the
earliest, and possibly not then.
Training men of 80 to 35 years of
age now means they will have
passed the really effective age be-
fore they will be needed. Men of
Is to 81, trained now, would be at
their most effective age by the time
their service as soldiers is needed.
In the regular army we have the
organized National Guard, the ma
rine corps and the navy and naval
reserves-close to 100000 trained
fighters. There is a turnover in
these forces each year of better
than Is per cent. A quarter of
million men are moving back into
civilian life after three or more
years of military or naval training.
They would be added to our effec-
tives should war come.
Taking a million young men each
year between the ages of Is and 81,
with our organized army, National
Guard, marine corps and navy and
naval reserves, and with the men
who pass through these organized
services, at the end of five years we
would have a fighting force of bet
ter than 7,000,000 trained men of eff
fective age.
And that is some army in any
mans country.
If we must have CONSUMPTION in
this country, let us have it on prac-
teal and sensible lines that will give
us an effective fighting force when
we may need it, and without serious
sacrifice on the part of the individual
or society.

ACTION ON HOUSING

Housing for civilian defense work
ers, one of the most muddled phases
of the defense program, now looks
as if it is going somewhere-thanks
to the quiet Intervention of Mrs.
Roosevelt and Frederic A. Delano,
uncle of the President and chair
man of the national resources plan
ming board.
Both exerted their influence
through FDR, himself. The First
Lady told him of shocking housing
conditions among defense workers
which she had seen in several cities,
and warned that there would be Sc
rious consequences unless something
was done quickly Delano urged
Roosevelt to get behind the c. 1. O.'s
plan for prefabricated homes.

SUBCONTRACTOR PROBLEM


SUBCONTRACTOR PROBLEM
Every train to Washington brings
group of small business men with
rumpled collars and bullying brief
cases. They've heard high officials
declare that the defense boom
should be evenly distributed.
They've read about a subcontract-
ing program for the smaller firms.
So they come to town loaded with
blue-prints and inventories of ma
chine tools.
The visitors wait patiently in de-
tense offices to ask the same ques-
ton: when do we get contracts
or subcontracts?" Then they go
home empty-handed, cussing the
"bureaucrats running the defense
program"
What they don't know is that the
issue of subcontracting is being
fought over daily, and with increas-
ing bitterness, at the inner confer
ence tables of the Office of Produc-
ton Management. The question is
whether OPM should crack down on
the big primary contractors and
force them to farm out their piled
up orders.
The powerful big industry clique
says mo" 1t argues that forced
subcontracting would be costly and
unreliable. Bob Mehornay, liberal
small business man in charge of
subcontracting, holly denies this
and is battling to overrule them.
The cold facts are that although
100000 firms are available for de-
Tense contracts, 80 per cent of the
orders awarded during the last half
of 1910 went to 600 large concerns.
And ia of them got 95 per cent of
all contracts over 100000, amount
ing to Sc, 668, 100000.
