the new books for me? It would be such a help. Of course, l wouldn't feel right unless I sent around 6 monthly check" So the friends worries are over.
 Mostly Mrs. Davies charities are quite personal. Old friends, everyone who has worked for her or for her father, daughters of friends who want to go to school.
 But in the depth of the depres- sion she fed hundreds of women and children in New York. She asked the Salvation Army to set up and direct a canteen for her.
 For years she has been inter ested in an old women's home in Springfield, H., her native city During the war she financed the largest American base hospital in France-and no one knew about It until years afterwards.
 Success in Russia
 There was some tittering when she shipped frozen foods ahead of her to Moscow the year Davies was. appointed Ambassador to the U.S.S.R. The tittering amazed her It was just an efficient thing to do to her mind.
 That was soon forgotten be- cause MT. and Mrs. Davies, to the amazement of the est of the diplomatic colony there, were soon on sure footing with the Soviet officials. For one thing they had determined to act no role for the Russians. They were capital ists. And as such they proposed to live in Moscow.
 And the Russian women soon found that Mrs. Davies knew manufacturing methods. She be- came friends with the wife of Premier Molotoff, and the two made dozens of factory trips to- gether. Mrs. Davies grew so in- terested that she sent home foi several facial cream formulas toi Mrs Molotoff to put into produc- tion. And one bread formula par ticularly endeared her to the Rus sian nutritionists-a soy bean reel pc with high nutrition value.

AMSTERDAM tvia Berlin), April 17.-The Boy Scout movement is officially abolished in the Nether- lands.

 City Burning, Exploding
 One observer, standing on the roof of tall west end apartment building, said it seemed that all of London was burning or explod- ing as bombs crashed down.
 Anti-aircraft batteries poured an intending stream of shells into the skies.
 The air was filled with thick smoke and dust.
 The very earth seemed to shake.
 Screams of Victims
 Screams of mangled victims could even be heard above the roar of the guns and bombs.
 In spite of the heavy anti-air- craft barrage and activities of the RAF night fliers, only five German planes out of the hundreds in the raid are reported to have been downed.

MUST STAND HOME TEST

No sooner does Dad" (Claude R) Wickard Secretary of Agricul- ture, place his whispered approval cn some new agricultural product than the Wickard girls (Betty and Ann) give it the kitchen test. For example, when Dad said within the family circle that he thought new patent flour, with vitamins and things, might be very good. Ann popped up with biscuits made of same. With that kind of family test hanging over his palate, you can be certain the Secretary is not going on on any astronomical limb with his home testimonials.
 Wars may rage on the continents, but the War of Washington at the moment is whether one may drink standing up at the bar or must take it sitting down.

When Human BEINGS Are Junk

There is always apt to be a trace of tragedy in an
auction Things being sold for what they will
planned to possess. and which else will per-
haps prize so much.
Most tragic of auctions however was held the other
day at Staten Island, New York The United States sold
warehouse full of ptul household objects sent here
by people who had hoped get out of Europe who
made il.
Some of the boxes had been piling up for years
Or storage charges unpaid taking that had
to be found for boxes Egg beaters and rolling pins
pieces Of silver things valuable and worthless useful and
pitifuly useless But the people who sent them
unable to follow. So their belongings became junk sold
for storage charges and to make space
That is sad enough. But what of the human hearts
that beat high with hope when those boxes and packages
sent to America? They junk. TOO. human junk,
rottng and wasting for lack Of the
land where they might have chance of freedom and hope
Thousands standing on the piers at Lisbon waiting
for the ship that does not Other thousands
France and Germany and Austria every land where the
Nazi boots have rod condemned human Junk rot in
help or hope.
AS they have fled from country country effort
to keep ahead of the Nazi egions time after time those
legions have caught up with them, subectng certain
to summary punishment others merely to abandon
ment in that vast human junk yard which Adolf Hitler
has made of half of Europe.
But ships to Lisbon last of Europe are
few and far between Even those who have run the
whole gauntlet and arrived at Lisbon with all proper
credentials have assurance of flight the New World
And any day the hob-naed boots may tramping
into Portugal
Surely it be possible to do something reclaim
this human junk. They people. men and women and
children who live and breathe and feel and think God
help them) and who perhaps have not ceased entirely
to hope.
A way found to put to the goods they sent
before them. Can not the New World find a way to
use their lives as well?

In less than a year the ques-

one OF preventing the war in
Europe TO one of preventing the

FOOLISH FOR L. =. TO
JUMP INTO MAELSTROM

Editor, The Times: Here IN
America crops are growing. fruit
trees are blooming, new homes
are being built. We go to bed
at night quite confident that the
roof will still be over our heads
when we wake up in the MORN
ing. When we compare this
peace with the terrible slaugh-
ter and destruction going on in
Europe and the mad scramble
by few in this country to do
likewise, we are compelled to
ponder the situation and ask
ourselves, is there guiding
light anywhere for humanity
today?
Yes, there is. It is the light
of reason and common sense.
And we in America are the ones
who should be using it today.
The vast majority of our people
know that it is foolishness TO
jump into the European whirl-
pool. Then why all of this high
tension war propaganda at this
time? II is the result of selfish
ness. greed and a desire on the
part of a few for personal ag-
grandizement.
Let us look at the world stu
alton from a new angle. We are
told that the axis leaders use
the science of sstrology. We
common folk who are not astrol-
ogers can at least look at
map of the heavens. We find
that May-day Of 1871 il ushered
in with the sun and five planets
all punched up in one sign. We
are told that such punching
up of the planets augments good
aspects for greater good and
pad aspects for greater malefi-
cence.
The warning elements are TAX
ing advantage of this planetary
configuration to aid them in
their destruction. The confusion
makers in America are also
taking advantage of it by turn
ing loose a broadside of every
known brand Of propaganda
that will catapult Us into the
fracas overseas, which, after all.
most OF US know very little
about We are Just sheep and
We follow the one making the
most noise.
The destiny Of America il to
bring peace and order to a sick
world. Then let us use our
reason and through the remain
der Of April and all of May let
US use this punching up Of the
planets TO augment the forces
working for constructive enter
prise here at home.
War is an insane delusion. II
settles nothing. II we in Amer
lea realize this and can keep
our shirts on at least until the
first Of June. maybe then we
can see in what way We can aid
the world along with the job
Of correcting some of our own
economic shortcomings.

national defense is that which
was supposed to he its surest
and strongest system of in
dustrial priorities. Unwittingly.
perhaps. il has delayed construc-
ton of articles necessary to the
army and the navy. Here is the
story:
Some months ago. a firm hsv-
ing key navy contracts ordered
tools necessary for their manu-
facture. Along came another
firm which had another job to
do for the navy, and they also
ordered tools which happened to
be the same kind the original
company needed. Between times.
priorities on machine tools had
been imposed. The first firm to
obtain the contracts had not ac-
tually closed with the machine
company because OF delays in
framing documents with navy
lawyers. The second company
rushed in. actually ordered the
tools, and got a priority oksy.
So far the first firm is on the
spot. and having closed all de-
tails and accepted the contracts
with ths navy cannot obtain a
priority preference vii h GU
authority to get the machinery
necessary to fulfill them. These
complications have occurred
with respect to other contracts
in other lines. They may be
Strengthened out eventually. But
this is an excellent illustration
of why national defense has
slowed down even under the best
Of plans and intentions.
Latest confidential advices
from the Far East encourage
our state department in the be-
lief that Japan will make no
move on Singapore or the Dutch
East Indies, despite the Russian
pact Tokyo will wait for a more
opportune and dramatic mo-
ment
Our diplomts here and in the
Far East entertain no illusions
about Jspan's longtime aims or
her present policy. They realize
that she would make this major
grab IL she thought she could
get away with it. But she will
not risk a war at the present
time unless assured Of victory.
She could not survive the de-
strucuon of her navy.
She knows that the L. s. fleet
blocks her path southwark. So.
for the present. she will confine
her activity TO economic. finan-
cial and commercial penetration.
She will make herself more pow
erful pending the pounce.

out triumph in Europe and de-
stroy Britain, or II the L. S.

there is no doubt that Japan
would seize her opportunity.

The Hobbs bill presents a pat
tern which may be copied by
SEC experts who have been en-
trusted with the task of devising
a formula for complete control.
II provides federal regulation of
mail-order houses which sell poll
cies on a small. installment
basis. The approach would be
indirect. At first these corpora

eyed by the New Dealers is the
industrial kind sold on a nickel
