DEATH, AND WILHELM, AND LOU

1t wouIc be hard to find two men
whose lives we're farther apart than
Wilhelm of HohenzoIIern and Lou
Gehrie. Their deaths came close to-
gether. Those two, borne almost stimuli
toneously into the realm from which
no man returns, cause one to wonder
again on the insorutobIe mysteries Of
life and deoth.
Lou Gehrie was q baseball player.
He earned his living playing game for
the pleasure Of those who paid to watch
him do it. When he 10y in death, thou
sands passed his bier in reol sorrow
Even though his life had been restricted
largely to the playing of harmless
game fo' pay, Lou 0ehri9 had managed
10 display qualities Of couroee and
omiobiIIty end goodness that coused
men to love him and to sorrow ct his
passing.
Wilhelm of Hohenzoiern was born
to q position of power and glory. He
was the leoder Of q powerful people in
its hour Of triol, Yet for no quality, per-
sohoI or public, was he remembered in
his deoth. There wos not even hotred
for him any more. Even in his own Ger
many his deoth coused no furry. He
was just an old man who died, and no
body cored.

the things people say about Us
can never measure up to the

Still, the fact II that, no mat

u. Has More Money for Defense
 Than Can Spend

WASHINGTON, July 7 - The American government was in the unusual position of having more money than other people knew what to do with. The Administra tion stood ready, willing and able to spend virtually unlimited bill lions for defense regardless of the deficit. But the industries of the country were not geared to match with production of urgent ly needed arms and machines, the ability of Uncle Sam to spend.
 Budget Director Harold D. Smith discussed the situation with newspapermen, expressing the view that it might be years before the productive capacity oi American industry could over- take the ability of the govern ment to pay the bills for defense materials.

Ed Levin And
 Dr. Levine To Do Research King Is.

Dr. Victor E. Levine and Ed Levin of the Father Hubbard Ex petition left Tuesday for King Island on the U. s. Coast Guard Cutter Atalanta under command of Lt Wilbur C. Hogan to carry on research project to obtain the Vitamin C content of all available foods, both plant and animal, in this area which may be used in times of emergency. Special emphasis is to be given to plant foods which are abund- ant but which are scarcely used.
 It is generally believed that Els kimos eat only animal foods but few realize that native plants are widely used. These plants could be cultivated and made a valu- able part of the diet of white people living in the Arctic. Russia is carrying on a similar survey in Arctic Siberia.
 Archaeological measurements of the natives will be made and they will be typed for blood groupings. Physical examinations of the children will be given to determine the extent of physical defects and general state of health.
 Exepdition equipment this year includes all the latest inn proved equipment and methods used in this research. This equip ment is furnished by the U. s. Public Health Service, Washing ton, D. C., under whose direction this project is being carried out.
 Father Hubbard's Field Man ager Ed Levin studied special courses in Hematology an Physic al Anthropology at Santa Clara County Hospital, California, un- der Dr. Frederick Prosher, dur ing the past year to assist Dr. Levine in this research.
 Father Hubbard was unable to accompany his expedition party from Seattle as he was delayed in Washington, D. C., on busi- ness. He will arrive on the U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Haida some time this month.
