DUANE DECKER, whose story Above
Suspicion" appears in this issue, is
living example of the old slogan, IF
at first you don't succeed, try, try
again. He left college Colgate just
at the beginning of the Great Depres-
sion, and took any job he could find,
from Japanese-beetle inspector for the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, to
house-to-house canvasser, bill collec-
tor, department store clerk, chauffeur,
and dishwasher on United Fruit boat.
From most of them he was fired. His
record season was four firings in one
summer. Finally he found his niche,
and for several years has been Sue
Cessful writer. Baseball is his passion,
and many of his best stories have been
about baseball. That he can write just
as convincingly about other subjects,
however, you'll discover when you
read above Suspicion.
LOGIC. A friend sends us this story
from Nazi-occupied Norway:
Recently, in Oslo, a German officer
entered crowded cafe and looked
around for a seat. Spotting an empty
chair at table where young lady was
sitting, he stopped. Pardon me-" he
said but may take this chair"
The young lady ignored him COM
pletely. Then the Nazi, somewhat flus-
tered, appealed to the headwaiter.
Thereupon the young lady said, icily:
Now that you have taken all of
Norway without asking our leave, you
certainly ought to be able to take
chair without asking permission.
TRIBUTE. Newspapers as a defending
weapon for democracy are coming into
their own. Recently the United States
Lines christened one of their defense
ships the American Press as tribute

FOR TOMORROW W-L|VE!"
by Charming Pollock

Sacted their business as usual, whether that
business was war or providing the snews of
war. The weavers of Scotland who send us
their woolens, the multitudes of British in
every walk of life who go about their daily
tasks with heart for any fate, are doing
their bit no less effectively than the men in
armament plants and in the front lines. Few
of them fancy are thinking of money in
safe-depost boxes Ito be ready for the worst"
Rather, they are facing it with faith in the
future, and the kind of grim humor displayed
by the Belgian merchant of whom Lars Moen
relates. in Under the Iron Heel" that he
hung over his shop big sign We would
rather do business with Germans than with
BelgianS' -. 1t was coffin shop"
1T is in times of chaos and hazard that alert
ness and steadfastness become the essential
virtues. Panic not only never helped bad
situation but has often wrought havoc out of
all proportion to the original danger After
the lroquois disaster in Chicago, the architect
of that theater took me through new play
house he had built in Pittsburgh. This one
is absolutely freproof." he said. but, of
course. not even huge steel vault would be
proof against panic"
In world that is up against some of its
blackest days, there is humor and example
in a story that was told me by the late Sir
Joseph Duveen, afterward Lord Duveen,
American head of the great art firm bearing
his name. Early in 1915 Sir Joseph planned
to send one of his experts to England to exam
inc some ancient pottery. Passage for the
young man had been booked on the Lusitania,
and then the German Embassy issued its
warnings that the liner might be torpedoed.
Duveen told his expert that the trip was off;
Il won't take the risk of your being killed
Don't worry" the young man replied.
I'm strong swimmer and when read what
was happening at sea began hardening my
self by spending some time every day in a
tub of ice water. At first could stand it only
few minutes, but this morning lay in that
tub nearly two hours"
Of course, Duveen laughed. The idea was
fantastic. But his expert sailed, the Lusitania
was torpedoed, and the young man was picked
up, still sound after nearly five hours of the
conditions to which he had accustomed him
sell. he was pro1nOted, OH Joseph ConCiuu-
ed, with substantial raise of salary. think
he deserved it, If business hadn't gone on as
usual - that is, if he'd been frightened and
stayed home - the firm would have lost a
big sale. If he'd gone without informing him.
self and making intelligent preparation for
what might happen, undoubtedly the boy
would have lost his life. l still laugh at the
story but, also, tell it as an instance of the
safe-and-sane course. Keep your eyes open,
your muscles hard, your sleeves rolled up,
and it's ten to one you'll weather most storms;
and when they've been forgotten, you'll still
be doing business at the old stand"

to the nations free and vigorous news
papers In explaining this choice,
Kenneth Dawson, the vice president
of the United States Lines, said;
ITO maintain a democracy it is
imperative that its citizens be in
formed. 1t is fundamentally because OF
its uncensored newspapers that the
American public can remain free"
The American Press was christened
by Camilla Chandler, the fifteen year
old daughter of Norman Chandler,
