WEAKNESS OF THE SPIRIT

One day last week a London dispatch to Ameri- can newspapers reported that more than 50 British industries will be required to concentrate their manu- featuring in few plants and to turn all the others and their labor to work
 Among the industries affected textiles shoes pottery furniture and gramophones-a typical "con- sumption" products we know them. Up to now these industries have been operating under reg- atons limiting production and rationing materials Their operations have been curtaied but their plants and facilities and labor supplies have not been fully employed.
 This latest step in putting the British economy on war basis is being undertaken without compul- sion on the part of the government. Industrial executives who constantly in touch with the Board of Trade to learn how they may contribute more to the common cause have been asked to 'ra- tonalize their operations to the end that in- dustral plants and skilled labor will be released for the production of defense materials
 There is a lesson for us in this cooperation. If

space has cost the Social Security and Railroad Retirement Boards the handsome new tunnel-joined build ings that were erected to quarter their large staffs. Covering two blocks of space, the buildings were completed last month, but the two agencies voluntarily gave them up for the duration of the emergency, to provide office space for the con- stantly expanding Defense Com mission. Nine thousand employees can be taken care of in the two buildings.
 Two other buildings to be fin ished this spring also will help re- lieve the shortage. They are the War Departments new home. the first individual one in it's history. with space for HOO workers, and General Accounting Office Building No. 3, providing room for 5000.
 A new wing on the Navy Building and a fourth-floor addition on it and the adjoining Munitions Build ing will afford space for still an- other 4,500. And the historic old Belasco Theatre, on Jackson Square opposite the White House, one of the first fire-proof play houses built in the country, which the government bought last year, is being hastily converted into offices to take care of the Treasury's overflow

NAVY MYSTERY

Meanwhile, the Navy Department also is working on mystery-which it is keeping very shush-shush.
 A night guard making his rounds noticed a beam of light in room where airplane files are kept. The guard quietly opened the door and found a man rummaging through the cabinets with a flashlight.
 Like all government buildin g guards, the guard was armed with a revolver and carried a whistle But instead of seizing the intruder, the guard slammed the door and dashed all the way to the guard room on the first floor, and shouted to the officer on duty:
 There's someone upstairs looking at files with a flashlight! What shall do?
 The officers and another guard rushed to the plane room. but it was empty. They found only some opened cabinets and papers scat tered on the floor. A search of the huge building also proved fruitless. The mysterious prowler had van ished.
 The next day a check showed that no files were missing. Officials say the intruder must have gained ac- cess to the building during the day. time and hid until dark. But that still leaves unexplained how he got in and out. since the building is guarded with admittance and exit only by special pass.
 So far, only upshot of the incident is that the bumbling guard has been fired.

Mans Greatest Creation
bit
Seattle Tines)


 The dream of thousand has been ful- filled Grand Coulee Dam has begun to produce power One of the greatest of all mans creations the greatest according to many enthusiasts-is com ing into frution.
 It is true the beginning is modest. Production of electricity yet is restricted by the small size of the generators installed Later, there will be nous machines. Then will come the pumping of water into a giant storage basin for subsequent re- lease, in ife-giving flood, throughout the Big Bend country
 One can only guess what effect if any, this re- lease of Columbia River floods a dry land will have the weather of the entire Pacific Northwest The thought is entertained that evaporation from the great length of the irrigation dtches will bring much more rain than formerly Whether this results will be immaterial Irriga- ton will supply steady streams of water to thirsty fields furnishing the moisture needed to steady crops for a population estimated to number up to 300O00, 100000, even 500000 people. Somewhere in that domain there will be number of prosperous cities, now n-dried but destined to become among the most important contributors to Washingtons s wealth.
 All this is looking ahead little. For time, we shall be content with electrical output small scale. Grand Couee is beginning to produce and Americas greatest irrigation project is it's way to eventual completion.
