She stopped, and a silence fell
between them, so that they noticed
again the voice of the ship, and the
rush and slap of the sea. Later.
Tonga Dick began talking to her
again, trying to tell her what his
uncle had been, as Dick saw him.
He was trying to make her see
man who had lived not for personal
conquest, but for dream. He was
trying to make her understand that
James Wayne had been a man who
did not know how to use anything,
for himself, beyond the bare neces-
sites; one who took less from life
than the salary of Charles Wong
commanded He showed her his
uncle breakfasting at $3.50 In the
morning, so that he could be at
work by quarter of four. He was
trying to make her see twenty years
of labor, In which James Wayne had
given every hour of his time, every
resource of his mind, to making
Alakoa what it had become.
She interrupted him, after a while.
''Why do you tell me all this?"
'Pm trying to make you see that
there is something there that cannot
be measured in dollars and cents;
and that even though James Wayne
is dead, the fight for the things he
stood for will have to go on"

Christmas trees aren't snobbish.

Although any kind of tree can be

that they must be evergreens.

Lingering Shadows

When a person casts a shadow
on a pool of crude oil on a sunny
day in a tropical country, the
shadow appears to remain for as
long as 10 seconds after he has
moved away. The explanation is
that the shadow causes the oil to
cool slightly, thereby decreasing
the number of rising bubbles and
darkening the surface.

Druids Credited Mistletoe
With Miraculous Virtues

Mistletoe, or "AI-Heal" as it was
called by the Druids, was thought to
hold many miraculous virtues. The
Scandinavians dedicated it to their
goddess of love, Friga. This god
dess of love is probably responsible
for the custom of kissing under the
mistletoe.
The superstitious believe that a
maiden who is not kissed under the
mistletoe will not marry during the

.Stand-In Sidney Weinberg Thirty.Four Years Ago Chief of OPM Industry Committee Was Holding Down $2. 50 a-Week Job
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN
 (Co.Authors of The Washington Merry Co., Round"C

Washington, D. C., Sept. 23.- 34 years ago, Sidney Weinberg quit 0 $250-a-week job as janitor's assistant to work as e stand-in, in the lines before one of the New York banks. It was the panic of 07, and depositors were paying as high as BIO for 0 place well up in the line near the teller's cage. Young Sidney used to get up early to snag good spot.
 Today, Sidney Weinberg, nobody's stand-in, holds down the important Washington job of Chief of the OPM Industry Committee. Wall Street knows him still better, where he is Q board member of so many big corporations that he can't recite them all himself.
 Chiefly he is senior partner and director of Goldman Sachs & Co.,; but there was nothing "senior" about his first job with that com pany. He was assistant to the negro porter, and his work was to shine the directors high silk hats before they left, the directors cuspidors after they left.
 Goldman Sachs does the money business for Sears Roebuck, and ten years ago Weinberg, of Goldman Sachs, got to know Donald Nelson of Sears. They became close friends, adn they are still close, both work ing in top jobs in oPM.
 Tn 1882, after helping to elect Roosevelt, Weinberg was offered the ambaSsadorship to Russia, but didn't take 1t. He remains a strong Roose- welt man, but also a champion of the capitalist system, which allowed him, the son of Pincus and Sophie

 All of this money that the new deal Is passing out did not come into existence as tax free United States money. Oh, no, but to get this Lease-Lend money the Federal Re- serve Banks, @ private institution, which is in business for profit only, and which did not have the money loaned 1t to the government at interest, figure that out, 1t is simple If you know how they do 1t, do.
 Write to your senators and con- gressmen and demand that our boys be paid decent living annual wage, so that they won't have to depend on gambling, donation, gifts and other forms of charity, as every man is worthy of his hire.
 This administration will tell you that private industry is hiring and paying the 10 million factory work CTS who were also selected by draft, but remember Uncle Sam pays the bill plus handsome profit and compound interest so, why should the draftee be the goat?

 Of Nutrition Topics
Properly Selected Foods Daily Necessity for Persons
 of All Ages.Leaets Offered Free to Public on Request

There are no limits to the agel at which properly selected daily food is essential to health as the same nutritive clements are needed by all, according to Elizabeth O. Nickerson, Nutritionist, who sum- marked today in the regular weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health the salient features of a series of nutrition discussions which have been broadcast over WT1C dur ing the last ten weeks. These dis cussions with members of the de- partment staff emphasized the i'm portance of nutrition to various phases of health.
 To produce a sound healthy in- fant the food of the mother must be carefully chosen with reference to the needs of the developing infant, as well as the mothers health, ex- plained Miss Nickerson. Not only are the bony framework and tissues of the child developing, but the teeth are being formed. This requires a diet high in calcium and phosphorus (best represented by milk). All the vitamins, especially needed at this time, will be supplied If the mothers diet is amply provided with milk, eggs, butter, green leafy and yellow vegetables, citrus fruits and toma- toes and whole grain cereals.
 It was brought out in the discus- sions that supplementary foods con- taining all the protective elements are now recommended by physicians long before the end of the first year. At well child conferences in the state mothers are learning what foods are best for preschool children, and that this is the time when right food habits should be formed.

The Air Raid Warden

This article is Number 1 in @ Esries of ten prepared by the State Defense Council on the duties and activities of air raid wafdens-
 When one reads of an air raid, one thinks of three kinds of bombs that may be dropped upon the area two, three or even four miles below. Thege three kinds are the high eX- ploSive bomb, the incendiary bomb, and the gas bomb. The air raid warden must know what to expect on these visitatiorS and what to do about them.
 So far aS gas Is concerned, his task is likely to be fairly easy; not because gas is at all an easy cuS- toner to deal with but because the chance of 0 gas attack Is extremely unlikely. Gas Is not only c difficult but an extremely expensive material to deliver by bomb, and in Amer ica'S wide open spaces the chances of anything like c measurable mili- tary advantage to the enemy are exceedingly remote. Pure devilish- ness might, indeed, prompt some such malicious attack, but that kind of pure devilShneSs is too costly to be indulged in when every material resource Is required for military ad- vantage, to say nothing of the terri- biy hazardous consequences from reprisals which would certainly be invited by such raid.
 One may wonder whether 70 corn- plaiSant an attitude is justified when we consider such congested areas as New York City. Certainly there would be a messy situation in the streets If gas arrived. But the gases are heavier than air (other. wise they would soon diSs4pate, like
