BRILLIANCY IN REVERSE

ONLY THE finest players. it

emphatically on hands which fg-
ure to produce extra tricks. Or Is
1t sir ~ly because you notice 1t
more when they do it? In any
event, they are sometimes over

an effort to take the maximum
number of tricks, whereas the
great rank and file Of players do
not over-reach so far on some

Hence they specialized on small,
very fast planes with heavy gun
fire, or, as the experts prefer to
call it, fire power.
These planes not only had to be
fast--with heavy fire power-they
had to be able to climb quickly. SO

and attack them.
Whether they had long range or
not was not important to the task
contemplated. Hence they saved

Says Eroding Banks Is
Cause of Rivers Muddiness

And still the explanations come
in regarding the cause of the mud
diness of the Kootenai river, which
is an unusual condition at this time
of the year. Recently an inquiry
was sent by the Libby national for
est office to forest officials in Brit
ish Columbia asking them for their
idea regarding the matter. Here
is the reply that was received,
from Cranbrook, B. c.:
North Of the line the Kootenai
river seems to carry Whitish sedi-

This is due, believe, to the

From Out Of
the Ruins Whot?

For ages men have found solace,
hope and inspiration in the ancient
myth of the Phoenix, that beauti-
fully conceived legend of bird.
Every five hundred years, so the
story goes, this bird came to Hello
poll, and there burned itself upon
the altar. only to rise again from
the ashes--young bright-plumaged
and resplendent. Goethe must have
found in this legend his inspiration
for the observation, "The old tum-
bles, the times are changing, and
the new life blossoms from the
ruins Today the old is crumb-
ling and we are in the crucible OF
regeneration. What lies ahead-it
is too early to see. but it is as pos
sible for a new and better way of
life to blossom from the ruins as it
is for man to be everlastingly buried
in the ashes of his own stupidity.

This Business
Of Living
(By Susan B. Thayer)
aREsERVED FOR MIR. WHITNEY,

PRESERVED FOR MIR. WHITNEY
It was typical New England fac
tory--a long building of red brick
built in an L-shape down by a
stream. 1t had stood by that little
river for more than 70 years playing
part in making this the greatest
industrial nation in the world. For
here, from the beginning, have been
building machines which are used,
in turn, in other factories for max
ing articles for every day living. y
Back in the old days, they told
me. great presses for paper manu-
facture had been built here and at
another time they had turned out
machines required for wood work
ing factories. Today, like thousands
of other factories throughout the
length and breadth of America, they
are working on tools needed for the
manufacture of machines for nation
al defense.
And like thousands of other fac
tories it was surrounded by shiny
automobiles. dozens of them packed
against a railing of white painted
boards tina made a wide circle
about the factory Those automo-
biles interested me. They seemed
to me to gbe symbol of the times
and of the opportunities which men
have in the United States All Of
them seemed to be new enough to be
shiny, and all were Of approximate
ly the same type and size. / tried to
tell which were the cars of the
workers and which belonged to the
managers of the plant. But could
see no difference SO I appealed to
my guide. Can you tell which car
belongs to the owner?' | asked
him.
Yes he told me, he could-and
beckoned me to follow him. We
walked around the long building un-
til we came to the parking space
nearest the front door of the office.

Japan May Lose
Post-War Market

Deprivation of her best silk mar
ket, by the banning OF imports by
the United States, may not deter
Japan so far as this emergency is
concerned. 1t may even drive her
into that long predicted war with
Uncle Sam, which most of Japan's
statesmen, and practically all naval
officers, Of the United States, and
of other nations as well, have been
expecting ever since the first World
war.
But, reverting to the silk situa-
ton, japan is likely to rue the day
she crossed Uncle Sam so sharply,
and not because of any TEMPORAL
RY silk embargo. The point is that
when this emergency is over, when
this war is done, and Uncle Sam
officially will welcome trade with
Japan once more, there may be
very little demand in this, the best
market in the world, for Japanese
silk. Or any other sikh
People who are compelled to use
substitutes sometimes get to like the
substitutes. This is not always true,
of course. Most women in this coun-
try today would prefer to have silk
stockings than any of the substi-
tutes on the market. But the sub
stitutes now being offered may be
no more like the substitutes that
will be offered when this war is over
than the Model T Ford is like the
104l version.
American manufacturers, more
than any other class in the world,
are given to improving products.
So long before Atlantic liners are
steaming up the new st. Lawrence
Seaway, this writer predicts, Amer
lean mills will be turning out stock
ings made of substitutes for silk
which will be as cheap or cheaper.
and as good or better, than any
hosiery derived from silk worms.
