The vegetables themselves are arbi-
trarily split into two main categories,
the green and the white. Here the cat
aloguer seems to have gone completely
haywire. Believe it or not, green veg
etables include white or red radishes and
turnips, red or purple cabbage, orange
carrots, and red or yellow tomatoes.
White vegetables contain such repre-
sentatives as yellow corn and amber
sweet potatoes. Also please note that q
yellow squash, even when trifle green,
is white
Spinach is so rich in proteins, vitamins
and sand that it is almost impossible to
vote it out of Office, especially when

Having voted for it, she supports it vig-
orously, undeterred by all opposition, us
ing even such underhanded methods as
telling little Johnny that it will make
him big and strong like Tarzan.
But, after all, why the balanced ra-
ton? Mother can tell you. 1t is to
make the children strong and tough, and
as she naively puts it, to build up their
resistance"
Why in the world she wants 1t built
up no man can understand. From a
purely commonsense masculine view
point it is the last thing they need. All
too soon, in any event, comes the time
when junior will be able to take on the
old man and knock him out in one
round; why bring the date any nearer?
Take the case of child who doesn't
want to go to bed-and was there ever
one who did? He has reached the size
and strength where parents are barely
able to get him there without first
knocking him unconscious, and yet what
does mother do, next day? She gives
him more spinach. What he needs, as
any one not blinded by maternal love
could see clearly, is not spinach, but some
other green growing thing to reduce his
powers of resistance, such as q willow
switch.

HITLER,s OIL PROBLEM


Most of the reports from Russia
look black; and to U. S. army OBJ
servers they have been that way
for some time. However, one en-
couraging factor stands out. This is
the question of oil.
Without oil no army or navy can
move. And despite the tremendous
areas taken by Hitler in all Europe,
he still faces, two years after start
ing the war, almost the same oil
shortage as before. @ t
Rumania, seized chiefly for her oil
fields, has capacity Of 100000
tons annually. However, the Rus
slams bombed the Rumanian oil
fields so badly that production is
now down to about 4,000,0 900 tons or
less.
Germany itself has a synthetic
gasoline production of about 3,000,-
600 tons, making total annual pro-
duction today of about 1000, 900 tons.
{ On the other hand, Germany is US
ing oil and gas to operate its army
at the rate of about 25,000,000 tons
a year, most of which has come
from reserves. It is estimated that
Germany still has reserves on hand
of 10 or perhaps Is million tons.
All Of which means that the real
pinch will come next spring. In
other words, Hitler has enough oil
and gas to last through the win
ter, but by the end of the winter he
absolutely must take the Russian
oil fields of the Caucasus. In fact,
he is sure to stage a terrific drive
to take them even earlier. The ire
mendous Nazi sacrifices to take Kiev
and Odessa all were because those
two cities are the path of the Nazi
march to the Caucasus.
Russian Chances.
During the coming winter, howev
er, the Russians should be able to
hold out. The Caucasian mountains
are high and rugged. The Russians
have a huge force in this area.
The British also have rushed
troops through Iran to the border of
the Caucasus.
However, if Hitler's gasoline stu
alton is even more desperate than
indicated above-which may be
quite possible-then he is almost
sure to put the pincers on Turkey
harder than ever before in order to
drive on the Caucasus.

WINDSORS:
And Echoes

AS the duke and duchess of Wind
sor passed through the United States
via Chicago toward their ranch in
Alberta, they were greeted enthusi-
astically throughout, one woman
hopefully leaving her autograph
book on the train platform when the
duchess declined to sign it.
At the same time echoes of the
marital tangles which wound up in
Edwards abdication as king were
heard when society columns report
ed the critical illness of Mrs. Ernest
A. Simpson, which once was the
name of the duchess.
The former Wallis Warfield, now
the duchess, and Mary Kirk, silver
heiress, had been girlhood chums
and class and camp-mates in Balti-

Through this friendship came Wal

They had one child, who was sent

TAKEN FOR GRANTED

THE ONE INSTITUTION which
does most for its community is the
newspaper. It promotes the town
as a market place. It preserves and
advances the town as social and
cultural center. It serves week aft
er week, year after year, and we
take the service rendered very much
for granted, without attempting to
realize its value.
A RECENT issue of Golfers gave
the result Of a poll of 10000 Amer
lean families on the method they
preferred for the collection Of their
part of the cost of national prepar-
edness. OF that number, located in
all sections of the nation, so per
cent wanted national sales tax on
their day-to-day purchases.
But congress still prefers to use
indirect methods in the belief that
it is fooling majority of voters.
The man who carries dinner pail
knows he pays, and he would rather
know when he pays and how much.
