Consider First

All enthusiastic shoppers have
experienced the keen disappoint-
ment of buying any number of
smart things here and there only
to discover they had spent too
much money and still had not
one complete costume.
We are not trying to tell you
to do without the gay little hats
and other things but buy only
when they can be a part of an
ensemble.
The college and school girl is
the only one who can risk being
known as the girl with the
green hat. Her mother and
grownup sister can wear such
conspicuous costume accents
only a few times but, let her
have them, we say, If she has
some Of the conservative styles
for regular wear.

Always Plan

The best way to be smart and
well dressed is to plan all cos
tunes from hat to shoes. Your
better daytime suit or dress
should be in a conservative dark
color. either black, dark green,
brown or navy.
With any OF these. you can
wear a matching hat or one in
smart contrast. Shoes may
match but the conservative girl
or woman will prefer black.
With brown, however, wear
brown shoes.

~SSsfs"sS"
OF COURSE no one ever thinks of a
woodcock as songbird. 1t is endeared
to every sportsman because it is ex-
ceedingly hard to hit in its erratic
flight, and is delicious to eat.
Once you have been lucky enough.
however, to hear that ethereal warble
drifting down out of starlit sky,
you will think of a woodcock in diff
ferent terms.
never cease to be surprised at the
determined way in which these birds
follow the reluctant retreat of winter.
Even in Connecticut, late snow fur
ries will catch a woodcock sitting on
its eggs or find the downy young run
ming through swamps before ice has
left the ponds. This, even though the
long, slender bill must be pushed down
into the soft earth for earthworms
and insects.
This remarkable bill, by the way,
possesses many nerve endings which
make it very sensitive and enable the
bird to feel in the ground and dis
cover food which it cannot see. 1t will
eat in twenty-four hours twice its
own weight of earthworms.

Auto
Au+omotive Experts
Show ingenuity in
New Defense Field

Automotive technicians may
be lust amateurs when II comes
TO defense work but they are
already showing the amazing
ingenuity in that line which has
made the automobile industry
the wonder and envy of the
world.
A recent example was the
cleaning of gun barrels after
test firing which reduced a AS
hour chore into less than a
minute. Before acceptance by
ordnance officers, a gun must
be fired 200 times and at various
speeds.
After firing. the barrel must
be cleaned and oiled 10 prevent
corrosion by acids released by
gunpowder. This was done by
hand. then they were set aside
for "a hours, cleaned and oiled
again and after standing an
other "a hours, inspected.
One of the automotive engi-
neers suggested using equipment
for chemical cleaning Of metal
grilles preparatory to chromium
plating. He devised a process
by which the corrosive deposits
are washed out automatically
with a chemical solution and re-
duced the ,edious time-taking
practice TO matter of seconds.

Futile Spending

Kadoka. s. D. writes:
'1n 1888 we ushered In n So
called New Deal which was to
bring justice to the forgotten
man and all that. Millions Of
our people followed that cry and
are still futilely following IL. As
long as we were doing out
1000, 900. 900 or $4,000. 600, 900 a
year In an attempt 70 relieve
poverty. your reputable econo-
mIsts were crying that we would
bankrupt the country. But now
we are spending $4,000, 900, 900
or $4,000. 000, 900 year with
apparently no thought Of ma
tional bankruptcy. Isn't this be-
cause we are now spending to
protect the foreign investments
OF these economists? Couldn't
we. by spending half our war
budget In an honest effort to
improve living conditions OF all
our people, work such trans
formation for good that our
country would not be recognized
as the depression-ridden one Of
the New Deal erae But you
economists don't want that.
Why?"

In an emotional. war torn
world. in which prosagandist
winds are blowing. II is desirable
to make an effort to keep the
fundamental facts straight.
National. or social bookkeeping
is especially useful in such a
period as an alternative to wish
full thinking and emotional eco
Monies.
For example, in this fateful
hour, there Is too much tend
ency to face the future in the
spirit OF high school debating
society than in the mood of OBJ
jective searchers for the truth.
Hitler without embarrassment
follows the princip!, that a lie,
repeated often enough and bla-
family enough, will be accepted
as the truth.
Over here, by way Of illustra-
ton, in the effort to win a de-
batting point in the war-or-peace
discussion, there Is a tendency
on the part Of those in favor Of
intervention to overstate the
i'm Nrtanc1 of the export trade
to ,.ie material well-being of the
United States.

Cannot Be BOUGHT

AS to spending at home to
create purchasing power and
prosperity. that is just as futile
as the New Deal spending which
you criticize. We should have
learned by this time that we can
not buy prosperity = that pros
perity does not depend upon the
money supply. The things that
make a nation prosperous are n
well-balanced abundance of the
goods which people regard as
important for consumption -
food, clothes, shelter. radios,
autos, amusements. etc.-and
a well-balanced supply OF the
factors of production. each re-
warded according TO its produce
tivity. Merely increasing money
does not increase these.
The only way more money
helps is 10 encourage production.
To do that, IL must be paid TO
producers in proportion TO pro-
ductive work. and not be given
10 non-produCers.

War Spending
Not Covered
By Economics
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. y. y. University
a Chicago reader asks:
why not push the point that
when any business stops run
ming. Its tangible assets become
Junk, 90 that the right 20 run
f. the most valuable asset a
business man has,"
Answer: The point is well
taken. and I am glad 10 give II
a push. As you say running a
business means buying labor and
materials. and selling products.
This affects al members Of So
ciety. and whoever takes away
the right 10 run does harm 10
everybody.
This is one argument against
unregulated strikes and arbi-
trary action by politicians.
OF course, you must recognize
that the right 10 run does not
mean a right "a profits. II does
not mean a right 10 do as you
see III. II merely means a right
20 Try for the prize Of business
success in a legal and ethical
way.

stroy economic democracy.

Defense Justified

Answer: I. for one. am glad to
note your recognition OF the fail
ure Of the New Deals economic
program. No reputable econo-
mist has any defense for waste
or unproductive expenditure. All
attacked the New Deal spending
TO prime the pump" just as
they attack proposals such as
the so-called Townsend plan.
You should particularly note,
however. that no economist de-
tends war spending on economic
grounds. An economist, as a
citizen, may defend war on po-
litical grounds. He may recog-
nize the unfortunate necessity of
war, and he may then argue for
spending enough to win the war.
But that Is not economics.
AS TO investments" / don't

mist who has any abroad.

II would be necessary to set the
various items OF cost in man.
power. materials. and capital.
Likewise, II would be necessary
to charge against the gross re-
ceipts the cumulative credit
losses. including defaults on for
eign loans. Moreover. the exports
are In substantial measure Offset
by imports of goods, services.
and precious metals.
The significant criterion Is not
the gross income from exports,
but rather the net profit. The
real value of keeping the sea
lanes open admittedly cannot be
measured solely in money terms,
as foreign trade does provide i'm
ports of vital materials which
this country lacks and needs.
