'WBAL, Senator Tydings said:
1T is perfectly apparent that the
present costs of farming will not
permit the farmer to increase the
pay Of the farm laborer unless he
can in most cases get more money
for the things which he produces
"As have said before, the farm
laborer, as a class, is the poorest
paid man in the country. Yet these
poorly paid men in fact are the
source Of most of the wealth which
the nation creates each year.
The farmer, in most cases, will
be glad to increase the pay of those
workers provided the selling price
of farm products will make such in
crease possible"

Captain Never Happier.
Shortly before entering battle of
Casablanca he made this speech
to the officers and men:
when we left port announced
to you we were OF to battle. Each
day brings us nearer to zero hour
and the order to commence firing.
Il want to tell you how I feel
about things right now. Well, I've
never been happier in my whole
life.
I'VE have always taken this war
and battle readiness seriously IN
this ship. We came into the Navy
to fight. We have been itching
to light. AS your captain, let me
say this: May we do this job OF
ours, for the next two weeks is the
most important thing ever to hap
pen to us.
Believe me, if we follow the ball,
and we always know deep down
inside Just how hard We are trying.
we will have something substantial
and good to lock up in our dittS
boxes, but If we botch things up,
the memory of our failure will be
a bitter, humiliating disappoint-
ment which will persist always.
The memory of man is like that.
We must win the coming battle.
They don't pay off for second place.
But, first of all, we must make sure
we get into battle.
Must Spill Blood to Win.
What a hell of note it would
be to let the enemy slip us a Mickey
Finn while we are en- route.
Battle means killing or getting
killed these days. Make no mistake
about that. We cannot hope to
win without spilling blood, but we
spill a lot less when we win than
when we lose. None of US Is worried
q damn about that either.
This tell you: If we can shoot
first, hit first and kill first, then we
can win. To achieve that superior
ity over the enemy, we must be
alert and smart and. above all, have
quits and the determined will to win.
mo one is ever entirely ready to
fight, but it is my supreme honest
to God conviction that we are as
ready as we ever will be- I have
absolute confidence in you and I
want you to know it.
I'm the days that lie ahead, ask
no officer or man to give more to
assure victory than I do, be it life

Three Earthquakes
In Turkey Recorded

By the Associated Press. -
BERLIN From German Broad
casts, Nov. 16.-DNB said today
three earthquakes, believed CEN
tered in Western Turkey, were re-
corded in Bucharest last night.
The disturbance was reported to
have been registered also at Italy's
Bari observatory. It was estimated
to have occurred 500 miles south of
Bucharest, the Rumanian capital.

dead permits woman to regulate the heat in
her home frequently to everyones disadvan-
tage.
But no woman, dressed or undressed, can
control the ventilation of all outdoors.
So she steps from her super-heated apart
ment into the chilly streets, wearing mink
coat, maybe-but her legs still gauze-covered.
Such wntertime exposure Of feminine limbs,
and other parts of the anatomy, is blamed by
some medical authorities for a certain form of
nervous rheumatism of which many women
and girls are victims
1t may attack the feet and legs, disguised
as fallen arches, or cause abdominal pains that
simulate appendicitis or gall bladder disease
and says one eminent investigator, may even
cause deaths from blood clots which reach
and clog the heart Such exposure causes al
ternate overstimuation and numbng OF
nerves, disturbs circulation of the blood and
interferes with the proper working Of glands
and other internal organs.
Every such disorder you develop, while it
probably won't kill you, lets down one more
bar in your defense against the Old Man with
the Scythe- brings him one step nearer your
door
For, though this may surprise you, no one
dies natural death-or so it is suspected.
The body doesn't Just wear out with death
as the end result Always there is a fatal
illness like pneumonia, infected heart or
some other real ailment although sometimes
it is so well hidden that it takes microscopic
examination TO discover what the fatal disease
actually was.
But every illness, infection or injury
throughout lifetime is a part of the wear
and tear that weakens some organ so much
that it won't be able 10 fight off the attack
Of that fatal illness whether it appears at
So 80 or $50.
When one vital organ succumbs no matter
how healthy the rest of your body is, you die.
That's why anyone who wants to live a
long life shouldn't take unnecessary risks Of
exposure and should do everything possible to
help keep all the body machinery always work
ing in "A "well-oiled' manner.

Another reason I've lived so long is that
I'm part Indian, Cherokee Indian, as well as
Irish and Dutch Indians always live long.
That u.s. the old ones did when they lived out
in the open in all kinds of weather and lived
mostly by nature. Now the Indians don't live
long because they have roof over their heads.
I've always tried to live by the Bible and
the ten commandments doing my Masters will
and taking care of the sick and dying. If all
people did that everything they needed would
be added unto them. 1 think that my doing

Pointing TO scattered black hairs pushing
their way through her gray locks Aunt Lizzie
laughs and says, "As soon as my hair all
comes in black again, I'm going TO hunt me
hubby. I'll fool some of these Jelly Beans"
Rumor has it that she has already set her
cap for an S0-year-old young fellow about
town, who seems only too willing TO help her
while away any hours that might be lonely.
But Lizzie Deevers doesn't have much rea-

Now, how do the scientific facts about old
age and long life fit in with Aunt Lizzies
reasoning about her own case? OFF hand her
ideas might look like nothing more than the
half-baked thoughts of a very old woman.
She harangues about modern clothes Tries
TO persuade her younger friends that they
shouldn't wear Stacks. This attitude on modern
feminine attire may just show a streak of
stubbornness on the part Of the old lady.
But her ideas about dressing to keep warm,
and not wearing too tight clothes are upheld
by number Of experts who explain that there
is a worse hazard in the scant clothing of
women today than the moral one Aunt Lizzie
cites

FOR STUDENTS, TOO,
THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT

Imperial Valley schools have recessed
once more for the summer vacation pc
riod, freeing hundreds of youngsters from
the classroomS and sending scores out
into life with the total of formal educa-
ton they will receive during their life
times
But for those alike who have finished
school and who are merely embarking on
a summer interruption OF tnelr studies,
this year will be different. The country
is at war, and that makes all of life in
America different.
The part the vacationing students will
play in the nations war effort can be an
important one. For those who are enter
ing upon their adult life in a world of
competition, the outlook is as it always
has been-of their own making.
For those who will return to school
after the summer is over, there are many
prospects. The lives of the littler fellows,
of course, should be as uninterrupted as
possible. But for many in the teen ages,
there are jobs that can be done which
will help keep American economy roll
ing, prevent dislocation of some of the
nations vital industries, and help win the
war.
In this category is the job of harvest
ing the crops, of preparing agricultural
produce for shipment, and of keeping the
farms in all-out production. Don't think
that isn't important 1t is so important
that the u. S. Army itself has taken
direct, lively interest in the problem.
nation cannot fight without eating, and
it cannot eat without farming
Farming jobs are not the only ones
open to the young people. They can work
in offices, on construction jobs, in shops
and stores. Their labor in these places
can free many adults for work that is
closer to the war effort, and so help in
the ultimate goal of all of US.
In one important respect, this necessity
of today may be blessing of tomorrow
for these young people. They will learn
what it means to work, and find out that
school is not merely an unimportant
phase of life, but preparation for what
is ahead of them. They will find that
the discipline against which they some
times rebel in school is twice as strict
after they get out of school. They will
learn to work-and too few of them know
how to do that.
They will learn that in life, as in war,
victory goes to him who prepares best.

The warning was broadcast by the

The warning, which does not

three possibilities:
THAT the British wish to avoid
any repetition cf what occurred af-
ter the recent Commando raid on
ST. Nazaire, when the French popu-
lation continued fighting the Ger

after the British raiders left. thus
