TO THE EDITOR:

valuable in helping us get the
men we need, and we want you

ing about 100 years ago.
That question is what we
Americans call horse-Sense,
which means common-Sense
plus. Mayor Jack Downings real
name was Seba Smith. He began
a series Of alleged letters from
Washington in 1880 to his
Portland, Me, paper.
These letters related with
shrewd humor, his political and
personal adventures with Presi-
dent Jackson. Jack Downing
became a national horSe-senSe,
folksy American character. He
was the father of Mr.. Dooley,
Will Rogers and raft Of
other gay puncturers OF shams
and stuffed shirts.
I DISCOVERED Jack Down
ing in an immensely enter
tanning and Informative book,
"Horse-SenSe in American HUI
NOR" by Walter Blair (the Uni
versity of Chicago Press.
He begins with Ben Franklin,
of course, the father Of horse
sense America. Then he takes
us through the lives and philoso-
ply of Davy Crockett, Seba
Smith, Abe Lincoln. Petroleum
V. Nasty, Bill Nye. Finley Peter
Dunno, Artemus Ward, James
Russell Lowell. Mark Twain,
Will Rogers, Abe Martin and
others.
But why did he leave out the
horse sense of Don Marquis of
"The Old Soak" and "Archy
the Cockroach" and put in
Robert Benchley, Ogden Nash
and James T'hurber, whose work
by no stretch of the term comes
under the designation OF horse
sense? To me, they are not
even humorlSts.
CAMPLES of our horse-sense

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA,
Dec. 1.-One of the reasons why the
quality of American and Australian
fighter pilots is slowly creeping
ahead of the japanese in the South
west Pacific is that although our
pilots are frequently shot down, they
also get home more frequently than
the Japs. If there is a strip of
beach or shallow water, they will
always try to bring in their aircraft
and walk away.
Now they have even worked out
trick whereby, if brought down at
sea in high-powered ship, they
have a chance of climbing out. If
the motors are dead they bring her
down in dive to gain speed, then
f1atten out and glide over the water
as low as possible. The speed is
still high and conclusion with the
wave tips would be dangerous.
So, just before the wheels strike
the water, the pilot presses the firing
button, discharging machine guns
and cannon. The recoil from all the
muzzles firing simultaneously Is so
great it causes the plane to lose up
to 80 miles an hour flying speed
greatly easing the shock of hitting
the water.

Non-Comhat Duty Blamed
For Briton's Suicide Here

Dependency over not having been
given combat duty today was as
cribed as a probable leading reason
for Capt. Michael P. Crawfurd, 25,
personal assistant to British Min
lister Harold B. Butler, having COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
in the head with his service pistol.
1t was estimated Capt. CraWfurd
probably had been dead about 20
hours when found yesterday after
noon in his apartment in the 1900
block of Sixteenth street NV. with
his pistol clutched in his right hand
Capt Crawfurd's body was found
by Paul Scott Rankine, second Sec
retary of the British Embassy, who
entered the apartment with a pass
key after having become concerned
about Capt. Crawfurd when the lat
ter failed to report for work yeSter-
day morning. The officer also had
failed to keep Sunday appointments,
it was said.
Detective Sergt. Richard Felber
quoted Mr. Rankine as saying that
Capt. Crawfurd had repeatedly said
he wanted to be in the field with
troops.
Capt. Crawfurd had been in
Washington four months, it was

Fresh 'Hawg Meat

Beums on Pork Bought

BY OLEN CLEMENTS,

ASsuCldtSu IItSS w al Correspondent.
AN ADVANCE BASE IN THE
SOUTH PACIFIC, Nov. 20 ODE
laye6 The flies buzzed in great
peace around the kitchen door.
The breakfast dishes had been
done. Mess Sergt. Robert CWimpy)
Singleton of Washington, D. c.,
f1uttered around the kitchen.
I'll declare" he drawled in his
best North Carolina accent, Il just
don't know what I'll fix for lunch" !"
But the sergeant was the only
man in the outfit puzzled. The G. I.
guys knew what he'd fx-canned
meats, canned peas, carrots and de-
hydrated potatoes. 1t had been the
same for weeks.
Boy" walled a passing K. P, gig
ging cigarette snipe with a spear,
Il hope my last mission in this
many's army Is bombing that
damned canning plant back in the
States"
Now Sergt. Singleton is a G. I.
guy, too, and he has been at it for II
years. At this remark he twirled his
mustache, which is an odd looking
growth that started out to be one of
those longhorn affairs and just quit.
1t makes him appear at first glance
| to be sneering
Cit to work" he said somewhat
petulantly to two K. P.'s. They
| jumped.
Just then there was a commotion
at the kitchen door. The flies leaped
into action with renewed vigor. One
of the nine dogs sprawled by the
door managed gleeful yelp.
-Four husky natives brushed at the
flies lazily.
"Boola," said the leader to Sergt.
Singleton.
"Boola," the sergeant boola-ed
| back, and then gasped.
Each of the natives had half a
hog on his back. They put them
down without further comment and
walked away.
Sergt. Singleton's mouth popped
open and shut like that of gold
fish, but he was speechless.
"Looky what the man sent a
lesser cook yelled, fresh hawgmeat." !"
Sergt. Singleton regained his voice.
"Po'k chops for lunch apd side
meat for supper" he ordered.
The lesser cooks fell to with
butcher knives and hot water. The
sergeant beamed. benevolently.
That plantation owner must like
the way you guys keep this yard
policed," the sergeant said, "else he
wouldn't have sent us this fresh
meat"
The G, I. guys agreed and prom
ised to keep it up.
Off to side 1t. AL Cummings of
Kansas City, the mess officer,
chuckled.
To this day the G. I. guys don't
know that 1t. Cummings traded
some old, empty gasoline drums for
those hogs.
He had to. The canned meat
supply was getting low.

Hammering Henry will tangle with Lew Jenkins, former lightweight king, at Portland, Ore. Friday night and later will head east, if he wins as expected. Armstrong should have little difficulty with Jenkins, whom he stopped in the sixth round at the Polo Grounds in July, l940.
 But Armstrong will have plenty of trouble with Young Robinson on January %. It will be dangerous fight for Henry, who celebrates his 30th birthday December 18th and whose brows are balconied with punch gristle and whose mouth is fragile with scar tissue. Never in his career has Armstrong tackled an opponent of Robinson's appar- ent calibre-not even in the glori- ous days when he registered 46 straight victories. taking the feather, welter and lightweight crowns in stride.
 Robinson, who combines the speed of a puma with the kick of per- cheron, is a menace to man with battered eyes like Henry's. It would be one of the rings great stories if Armstrong, with his bull ing, constant-hooking style, could end Robinson's winning streak. But the seasoned boxing men who sit at the ringside for this fight. will be more concerned with the threat to Henry's eyes than with the posiblii- ties of an Armstrong victory.
