PRIVATE MATTER

Governor Prentice Cooper of Ten rA ssee was introduced to A. R. Clancy, OPM ordinance chief, at Washington luncheon.
 And what is your background, MT. Clancy?' Cooper a good Dem- ocrat, inquired pleasantly.
 T don't see how that is at all pertinent replied Clancy very cold ly.
 NOTE: A former motor official Clancy, as Deputy NRA Admins trator, was publicly denounced by the AFL for restoring the Blue Eagle label to mill charged with violating the MIRA code During the 1886 pres jdentjal campaign he was one of the leaders of the Republican social se- curity payroll scare that aroused widespread condemnation.

Settlers From Asia
(New York Times)

Ales Hrdlicka told the assembled antropologisrs in Chicago there is evidence in hand to show that the American Indians here from Asia across Boring Strait and filtered down all the way to the tip of South America. The theory has been long favored by the scientists and it is gratifying to have the years confirm it. As rule, time plays havoc with the theories
 Only one thing is a bit disturbing. If our h. dans are really Mongols and have been here mere trife of 10000 years, it may put ideas into the heads of the Tokyo ruling crowd. As champions Of the Asiatic people the Japanese may feel it their duty to take up the cause of their Mongol race brethren, hitherto known Iroquos, Agonquins, Pequots Sioux, etc, who have suffered much at the hands of the white newcomers into America.
 It is never too late to redress wrong, as when the German Government in the World War offered to hand back Texas and Arizona to Mexico if the latter would take up against the United States

BILL OF FRILLS

Press gallery wits have taken to referring to the stymied $150,000, ,00O emergency defense housing measure as the bill of frills.' This is soft impeachment Not in a long time has an important piece of legislation suffered more from congressional obstruction and inconsistency.
 Introduced several months ago to meet an urgent defense situation the bill was stalled for ten days in the House Rules Committee by a noisy row over the installation of "frills," such as refrigerators and gas stoves, in homes for defense workers.
 Finally. after inserting an emend- ment barring these appliances, the House passed the measure and it went to the Senate. There it ran head on into another "frill' tangle in reverse. This time "frill" wa, put into the bill.
 Brick makers protested that the $3,000 limit specified for each hous- ing unit barred the use of bricks, and demanded that the ante be raised to $3,500 One of the chief pro-brick spokesmen was Senator Bob Taft of Ohio, a leading economy advocate, who sought to slash the lend-le ase appropriation on the ground that it was excessive.
 On the argument that savings in paint, repairs and heating through the use of brick would more than offset the $500 difference, the Sen- ate approved the boost-and added another delay For now the amended measure has to go back to the House for it to decide whether bricks fall in the same luxury" category as re- frigerators and gas ranges.
 NOTE: In an effort to make up some of the time wasted by the frill- conscious boys on Capitol Hill, De- fense Housing Coordinator Palmer has gone ahead with plans for a number of projects, ready to start the moment the bill becomes law One will be the largest low-cost housing project ever undertaken by

THE COURSE IS FORWARD

It would be foolish to minimize the importance of the crushing Naz victory in the Balkans. Hit Ter now has removed except for Gibraltar the last British toe-hod the continent of Europe With it he has removed the toe, by which we mean to say that the Allies escaped with very little of the men or materials they sent to the aid of Greece and Yugoslavia
 In Salonika the Germans have acquired stra- tegic port which the British themselves have described "the gateway of two continents and new and nearer base for air attacks on Crete and the Suez Canal. In Athens Hitler holds the his- toric capital of the ancient world and the capital of the modern Greek people who bravely withstood months upon months of Axis attacks before yielding
 One of the lessons of the campaign in Greece and Yugosava is that apparently the Qualifications of nature hold better against mechanized attack than the bastions built by men. The Metaxas Line, erected by the late soldier Header of Greece proved pregnable the Maginot, the Carol the Ligne Albert all the barriers behind which armies and Governments thought to entrench themselves What held in Greece the Greeks. Counting the toll of dead soldiers and wrecked tanks piled up in the passes where the warriors of Hellas fought almost barehanded, even the German communique had to pay tribute to the heroism of the Greek fighters In Macedonia and in Thrace they have written in blood another chapter of incomparable valor in the history of their race.
 1ue DdIule IS not OVer In a canQld reVleW or the reverses marking the current struggle of the war, Prime Mnisher Churchill admits that great chances had been taken in supporting the Greeks to the extent to which the British felt bound in honor to give support There is less likely way of winning a war than to adhere pedantically to the maxim of safety first" Churchill declares in Parliament.
 To those given to glooming about events there is provocation aplenty in the present situation. Yugoslava gone, Greece gone, Nazs pressing into Egypt from Lbya, diabolical punishment being in- flicted on London and other English cities nightly heavy toll being taken at in ships and sailors
 Such is the bad news. It should not surprise us, for it is no more than the fufillment of the prophecy that Hitler would strike in full force with the coming of the spring. Nor should it discourage us for it is only proof that his long preparation this war still gives him initial advantage in test of strength in which the resources of the two great democracies have scarcely begun to be brought into play Still less should these re-

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not conspe"
TUESDAY, APRIL 29

This is not an important day in planetary direction. The morn ing is fairly promising since the mind should be clear and the judg- ment reliable. Although merchants are under lucky sway, it is not fortunate date for signing con- tracts. aD.tt
 Heart and Home: Girls may find this a favorable day for meeting new acquaintances in the Army or Navy. While aviators may be es- pecially susceptible, romance will not be prevalent. Young. men will be greatly preoccupied with war problems. Women should benefit through advertising, if they desire employment. Housekeepers will find this an suspicious month for re- trenchments as well as for modest investments in government bonds
 Business Affairs: Agriculture comes under fortunaterplanetary direction. Temporary prosperity at least is presaged as food demands increase. Crops should be good, although summer of extreme heat may be expected in certain states. Stock farms should profit. Novel methods of preserving Or concen- trating meat products are fore cast. Farming will be disclssed with extreme concern by statesmen. Ex- ports to Canada will greatly in- crease, it is presaged.
 National Issues: Feeding of for eign war victims will be acknow- ledged as imperative at this time, but there may be differences of opinion regarding methods and the limit of American generosity. Many persons in the United States will protest against the injustices prac- ticed by dictators and hold the Axis powers responsible for the welfare of the vanquished. The stars indicate that humane poli- cies will be carried out under ex-
  perienced direction.
 International Affairs: Dark days will be many as springtime takes on beauty in the British Isles, and all free peoples watch the world war with mounting fears. South America comes under evil portents which seem to presage internal troubles. Fifth column agencies will expand as they demonstrate progress in many places. The soli- darity of the democracies will be undermined by enemy propaganda and secret organizations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune, much of which may come as a great surprise.
 Children born on this day may be positive in character and en- dowed with talents. They probably will be sensitive and emotional. Wise training in self-control is counseled.

One-Way for East Side

THE extension of good one-way street system to the

Second boulevard and Third John r. and Brush streets
The one-way movement East Congress and East
Larned which started last week has brought the advan
tages of one-way thoroughfares far east as Mt
Elliott avenue.
This will be Of great benefit, but is only half the job
The DSR is to be congratulated for drawing up plan
which would provide logical extension of these routes
via Kercheval avenue and Vernon highway.
The mayors traffic committee should give it
thoughtful consideration.

pounds question IN law.
1t seems he is newlywed.
His young bride, inexperienced
in the culinary arts. has been
trying 10 cook according 10 the
recipes she gets from her more
adept relatives and friends.
Recently. following the direc-
tons of one of these recipes,
she compiled for our reader
raspberry shortcake. He states
that he is very fond Of rasp-
berry shortcake. His mother
used to make perfectly mar
velouS raspberry Shortcake.
Well now. this is the pream-
BILE. so let us get to the meat
of his case and query by quot
ing from his letter, as follows:
II have just recovered from
the effects of the raspberry
shOrtcake made by my wife"
he says. "Within an hour after
eating I began having strange
dizzy spells. My face and hands
and body broke out i'm a rash
something like poison ivy.
Presently I lapsed into "A coma
that continued for several hours.
1T was all quite similar to
an attack that l sustained after
eating some corn bread that my
bride made according to a recipe
recommended So by her Aunt
Jenny, though not as severe as
the one that followed the pud-
ding she produced as directed
by one Of her girl friends who
married a month before she did.
"MR.. RUNYON. I would like
A'A To ask IL you think l have
grounds for damage suit
against that woman who gave
her the recipe for the raspberry
shortcake would he unable
to file n bill Of particulars on
the corn bread and pudding as
I failed TO preserve the recipes
she followed In those instances
and the exact identity OF the
girl friend who poisoned me with
the pudding hut my record on
the raspberry shortcake is intact
and clear.
81 feel that I am entitled 10
compensation for my physical
suffering and for the mental an
guish i have endured i'm this
instance. the mental anguish be-
ing produced when told my
wife that I attributed my cOndi-
ton 10 the raspberry shortcake.
'She took II ~ "A reflection
on her cooking and left the house
In n huff and II has taken me
two weeks to round her up. But
last night I caught her reading
n new cookbook and as II con-
tained n recipe for PURGE OF pea
soup fear the worst.
"Mr. RunyOn. I do not think
II right for women 10 go around
recklessly spreading recipes and
encourage young brides to try
10 follow them. If my bride
had not heard about that recipe
for raspberry sbortcake she
would have just given me
something out OF a can and
would not have the terrible ex-
perience I have related. I await
your opinion as 10 my legal
rights with interest"

GA PoLICEMAN's lot is not

Judging from fan mail neither

great mass Of citizenry, in two
violently opposing camps them
selves, expects a commentator,
who tries TO remain independ-
cnt, 10 be all one thing or all

In the case in mind, one side
wants you 10 crack and con-
denim every interyentionist ar
gument. whether you think il is
good or not, and 10 applaud and
support every non-lntervention-
isl argument, whether you think
it is bad or not The other side
thinks you are carrying wafer

IL versation afterward included
some reasons not offered in de-
bate. Some Republicans have
grown tired of the party line
against defense strikes. They
murmur that even incompetent
Democratic legislators have been
able to keep themselves in office
in labor districts just because
the Republicans always voted in
accordance with their consci-
enceS instead of in accord with
labor politics
The alteration Of emphasis
along this line is apt to become
permanent. ---
AT the Presidents last confer

eign policy, a legislator brought
up published reports of internal

mniStration authority there
upon replied his reports out of

there were probably worse.
