beneath. Our Lord on enc occasion declared that the water He gave His disciples would be in them . well of water Springing up unto everlasting fife. The principle of the gospel is not to try to settle muddy water but to make it fresh and clear by the yelling up of spiritual forces within the heart and mind. Sin Is conquered by the ex- pulsiye power of new affection Anxiety Is cast out by the coming of c perfect confidence in the suf- flciency of God. Evil thoughts are scattered by the awakening in our hearts of . deep sense of the near ness of God.
 A frontal attack on evil is not recommended in the Bible. We are advised to overcome evil with good, to clear muddy springs with fresh water.

SeSA ASSSe
 Here Is another disclosure Of how one American pharmaceuti. cal company alone last year poured S2,2S5, 900 onto foreign ex- change channels readily accessible to the Nazis.
 The first is the schering Cor. poration Of Bloomfield, N. J., manufacturers of highly complex biologicals and se1uns used by physicians throughout the world. One of these products Is anti. shock serum, on essential for the Army Medical Corps. Justice De- partment sleuths, tracking down sources of German revenue in this country, have disclosed these In. teresting facts:
 Up to 1886 the schering firm was German owned. But in 1886 the stock held by Germans was sold to & Swiss banking corpora- ton known as Cheffa, which now holds large interests in Schering companies throughout the globe. Justice agents are investing re. ports that Chefa is 0erman-con- trolled.
 When the stock transfer took place, New Jersey Soldering en- tered into an agreement with the parent Schering company in Ger many not to engage in the ex- port business anywhere in the world. It promised to confine its operations solely to the United States, leavinug the German con. cern and its subsidiaries 6 corn- pletely free hand in other mar kets.
 BLOCKADE CONDITIONS"
 Then came the war and the British blockade. The parent schering firm in Germany no longer could ship its medicines to South America. So the New Jerseys company was given "per. mission to move into this field but only on three conditions. These were as follows:
 1. That the U. g. firm deal
 only through agents of the par
 ent schering firm In South
 America.
 2. That ell labels be print.
 cd 50 that the packages and
 trade marks exactly resemble
 those formerly supplied from
 Germany.
 3. That the profits of this
 business be split, the lions share
 going to the Swiss holding com.
 pany.
 As . result, New Jersey scher. ing, with 6 total capitalization of less than $500, 900, last year turned over 2 net profit of S2,2SS, 1000 to Chefa.

bRlllS CABINET Ot1lcef recently SAID:
II after the war Britain will have her
women to deal With"
These words hold the promise that the
spread Of the war to the-home front and the
endless demands of modern combat are bring
ing to British women new emancipation.
From the day Florence Nightingale landed
in the Crimea to angel the British wounded,
women have been edging into active participa-
ten in war. And the first day ship Of the air
dropped bomb on helpless civilians vast new
horizon was opened to them
Today in England as well as in Germany,
women are called upon to undertake every task
formerly sacredly reserved for men save engage
the enemy in "hand-to-hand" combat Even so
they are, dying in enemy action" at an APP
palling rate.
Gone are the days when their war efforts
were confined to nursing. Now they are engaged
in heavy industry, and many wear the uniform
OF their country armed forces.
Women in England ferry planes through
treacherous skies while others are actually en-
gagged in locating enemy planes and plotting
their courses over Britain.
1t is these duties that insure them a firmer
political and economic status in the post war
world.

e. A. A. Pilot Training
National Association
Governors and Federal
Officials Confer

Following day Of preliminary
conferences, members of the Board
Of Governors of the National Avia-
ton Training Association, meeting
at the Willard Hotel, will confer with
Federal officials today on a program
for continuing the civil pilot train
ing program of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority and other civil flying to
back up the national defense.
The group, joined by a number of
aircraft operators, also is meeting
with officials of the Office of Pro-
duction Management in an effort to
arrive at an agreement which will
provide vitally needed aluminium for
the lght-plane manufacturing in
dustry. 1t was estimated yesterday
that if existing aluminium priorities
are continued the light-plane indus
try will have to suspend manufac-
turing operations within another
month and that this eventually will
bring to halt practically all civil
flight training, including the C. A. A.
program.
Seek to Prove Necessity.
The association is attempting to
prove to the o. P. M. and members
of Congress that the civil pilot
training program is necessary ele-
ment in the defense of the Nation
and is essential to the continuation
of aviation development after the
emergency, it was explained
The Board of Governors has pre-
Sented TO the Civil AeronauticS Au-
thority evidence of a widespread
protest against the decision to
abandon summer civil pilot training
courses this year. The curtailment
OF the program was necessary be-
cause of so per cent reduction by
Congress of funds for carrying on
the program during the coming fis-
cal year. Students and school au-
thorities in many parts of the coun-
try have joined in the protest.
Many Delayed Enrolment.
1t was pointed out that many stu
dents did not enroll for flight train
AA5 NtoA AiS lIIC NO1lCIl SCllOOl SGd-
son, expecting to take the c. A. A.
training this summer, because of
heavy classroom schedules. In
some localities winter flying has
been difficult because of bad weather
and schools and operators had
counted on summer flying to make
up for lost time.
The Board of Governors Is con-
sidering the organization of an
aviation ground school service Sec
ton of the association, initial or
ganization of which was under
taken at recent meeting in Kansas
City, at which % schools were regis
tered. The chief purpose of the sec
ton would be ito raise the ethics
and standards of that division of
aeronautical training" The group
also would cooperate with the Civil
Aeronautics Authority in an effort
to represS "fy-by-night" aviation
training schools and to elevate the
standards of aviation ground train
ing schools.

Killed Youth 10 Guard
Self, Stonemason
Tells Coroner's Jury
Feared Wife's Sister
And Her Boy Friend
Would Jump on Him

Gazie Penksa, 32-year-old stone
mason, took the witness stand at a
coroner's inquest at the District
Morgue today to explain why he
shot and killed Joseph L. Caligurio,
81, on Saturday night near Eighth
and F streets NE.
Penksa made a surprise appear
ance on the stand after three other
witnesses had testified they had
seen him lettering outside res
taurant near that corner with a
shotgun in his hand. One of the
witnesses said he had urged Penksa
to put the gun down and come
inside for a beer, while the other
two testified that they had not
been particularly surprised to see a
man standing on the street corner
with gun in his hand.
Penksa testified that he had come
to the restaurant looking for his
wife's sister, Ann Carlo, 10, of 1349
Maryland avenue NE. He had
quarreled with his wife and sought
to learn her whereabouts from the
sister.
Feared He'd Be Attacked.
"The reason I carried the gun was
that I had had trouble with my
wife'S sister and her boy friend and
l wanted to make sure I'd be pro-
tected if they jumped on me-" he
said. when she and the fellow
came out of the restaurant, I asked
her if she knew where my wife was.

American waters got their first
taste of submarine warfare October
7-8, 1916. On a Saturday afternoon
while a World Series game was en-
crossing national attention, the U-53
arrived unheralded at Newport, R

after few hours put to sea again.
Sank Allied Ships.
She halted an American freighter
near Nantucket Light, but allowed
it to proceed. In the next severa,
hours, however, the raider sent five
Allied ships to the bottom in rapid
succession, some of them within
sight of the New England coastline
but outside of the 3-mile territorial
limit.
The second siege of submarine
warfare took heavier toll. When
the United States entered the war
four crack U-boatS crossed the At
lantic with the special mission of at
tacking A. E. F. troop transports.
Although they failed to bag single
one, they did sink a total of so mer-
chant and fishing ships off the coast
and gave the North Atlantic sea-
board bad scare.
