TO THE RESCUE!
INTERNATIONAL Nrws PHOTO

of an SPCA agent who fitted his trap
with a mirror in the back.
Dogs get into lots OF trouble. OF
course. They jump out of cars and
get lost; they chase cats into tight
places and then can't get out. Strange
as it may seem. two or three of them
are killed every week in the subways.
Not long ago one ambitious purp
raced a subway train all the way from
ll6th Street to 42nd Street - dis
tance of about four miles - before
he could be headed of.
Cats. too. give the boys their share
of problems. getting stuck IN drain

ONE of the SPCA's most tragic cases
came to them after neighbors had re-
ported to the police that two dogs
in a fiat we're keeping the whole neigh
borhood awake with their howlIng.
Investigation disclosed the startling
fact that the dogs mistress. living
alone with them, had died in her bed
some time before. Although little
more than ravenous bundles of skin
and bone, her pets dutifully stood
guard against the intruders.
Such instances of canine loyalty -
both to humans and other dogs -
don't surprise the SPCA men because
they see it often One winter night. for
example. passersby along the water
front noticed the frantic barking of a
dog who. dripping wet. was running
back and forth along the shore,
Somebody phoned the SPCA and
the emergency wagon Was sent
out. The men figured that the dog
had como out of the river, and
some friend Of his " rs still in it.
Procuring boat and lights. they
started out - whereupon the dog on
shore stopped barking for the first
time. Eventually they found two
other dogs stranded on an ice foe and
drifting slowly toward the sea.
The SPCA men figured that the
dog on shore had heard distress barks
and swum out far enough to see what
was up. Not being able to help. he
swan back to shore and barked the
alarm until somebody responded.
But whatever the explanation,
Rover certainly proved a modest hero;
for when the rescuers returned with
the shivering victims. he had dis
appeared completely. His job was
done - he asked no medals.

Shore-Line Plight

The normal existence of many Con- necticut towns, depends, to conSloeI- able extent, on the abnormal business IL may expect during the summer months. In short the tourist and vacation trade constitutes an important item in the an- nual revenue of a majority of our shore towns. This trade seems in danger of be- ing badly disrupted by certain events which may be directly traced to the war. An effort is being made to encourage reg ular summer vacations at the shore, put as so many of these are definitely pinned to automobile operation it does seem as if there would be curtailment.
 The Connecticut Development Con- mission is doing everything to encourage a normal summer among the shore towns that would benefit from vacatloners, But it remains to be seen whether or not It can convince nation of confirmed sum- mer commuters that things are going to be all right Vacations may be shorter for families accustomed to spend the sum- mer at shore resorts, particularly If one or more members of the family are daily commuters. Still it's entirely possible to spend as pleasant a time without daily use of the automobile as vacations in the dim distant past, now recalled, will well testify.
 Lack of transportation might have some effect on rentals and should have if owners are wise enough to realize that they must do the inducing this season If they want their cottages filled the whole summer round. Cher points than accessl- bility to various large centers must be stressed. And certainly those shore com munities which are popular among the shore-goers ought to make an effort to protect their own best interests. The bus- mess as usual sign is always out in Amer ica regardless of foreign aggression or wars to be fought.

Women very often feel that the lot of c housewife is a drab ex- istence indeed.

adjustments in wages, which enter into the cost of goods. Mr. Henderson has said he is not going to stand for price rises to correct such injustices, which if not eliminated may sound the death knell of American merchandising except in the case of the biggest, most efficiently op- erated stores. Instead, the administra- tion would prefer to subsidize those who otherwise would be ruined by politicians refusal to offend ''Labor" by fixing the wage levels.
 As the situation now stands, we are going to permit the seed warts of infla- ton to flourish, but by proclamation for- bid them to be communicable As new tumors defy MT.

Democracy Makes Good

In the supreme test of total war, de- n1Ocracy is proving it can produce the goods. We were slow about deciding what we wanted to do. That was because we decided for ourselves instead of per naitting some Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin to tell us what we thought We were slow in getting under way because, be- ing democrats, we do not like to fight, had not thought much about the matter, and at first set our sights too low. But once circumstances, aided by Japanese treachery, awakened us to the sordid facts of international life, we started doing such a job as no other nation could even approach.
 A million dollars in pin money today. We talk of government expenditures in EermS of billions even in peace times. We appropriate for war at the rate of 10 or 50 billion dollars year. Perhaps, o1en, the fact that we now are paying put about $132, 100000 day to finance klaiS war isn't as impressive as it should be. Let's not think of it as so much money. Let's visualize it in terms of ships and tanks, planes and guns, powder and bullets, jeepS and scout cars and khalSi-COlOred trucks - war parapher- nalia we weren't trying to manufacture three years ago and are making today.
 We started in 1889 with an industry devoted exclusively to civilian needs In Significantly, here and there, we made a few tons of powder, few thousand rifles, few hundred fighting planes. For many of the things required by modern soldier we did not even possess blue prints. In less than three years we have Bo completely reorganized our industrial Sctup that in 1942 we will make almost as great value of war goods as we pro- Co service the entire American nation!
 While we are finding fault with Wash ington for its confusion and failures of leadership, with capital and labor and farmers for their selfishnesS and short sightedness, let's not forget the positive side of the balance sheet. We have mul- tiplied our plane production "A times, so that with Henry Ford'S new plant operating we, alone, will be making more aircraft than all the Axis nations com bined. We are building this year as many cargo ships as the total we pos Bessed January 1, 1941. We are turning out tanks, at last, as fast as we can use them.
 But because we went to work so late and % slowly, it would be fatal to become overly encouraged by the supercolossal fob of production we have achieved thus far. We can, however, and we should, realize that Hitler was screwy when he thought the American democracy wouldn't be able to bury personal, par hsan, racial and class antagonisms though to produce the goods.

If you're doing any driving these days or nights and black-out occurs, prepare to pull over to the side of the road or street for the duration. Of course you may be in one of the five classes, whose vehicles are allowed to keep moving when a black-out occurs. But you'll find yourself under close surveillance and un- less readily identifiable from the car It. self or credentials you carry you won't get very far. It's very possible that you home or place of appointment when a black-out is called for, but the air raid wardens will tell you differently when your credentials are demanded. You have to be really on official business or be con- stituted an emergency ambulance to get clearance. Under that ruling, consequent ly, would fall car taking maternity case to hospial, which might give some one ideas, but attempts to evade black out regulations will be costly.

Press Comment
THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY
(New Britain Herald)

The President has not yet said anything in favor of the horse rac- Ing industry as a morale breeder as he did about baseball-but the stable owners go merrily on develop ing fast runners and hiring jockeys to bring out the best in their charges.
 Connecticut hasn't any of this ir- dustry and It's Legislature doesn't want a part of 1t in the state. But Massachusetts, Rhole Island and New Hampshire seem to serve Nut u1eggers.
 In some of the states, where they have struggling minor league base ball teams which are constantly in the red, they have major tracks which never get in the red. And the sports fans in those states discuss race horses more than they dicusS the achievements of their Class B baseball teams.
 That being the case, there prob- ably will be 8 plenitude of horse racing throughout the war; and nc doubt many a stand will be studded with uniforms draping army and Inavy men on 2urloughs from the nearby camps.
 There is something about Q horse race which those who play checkers cannot understand.

The state is going to have to remove 200 of it's own automobiles from the highways. They have been placed in the non-essential category by the rationlng officials and the word has gone out to garage them for the duration. In view of the Shortage of tires everywhere this is no more of hardship on the state than it would be for any big concern or an 1n- dividual. After all the state is as subject to regulation as the individual. In view of the fact that great many services the state has been performing in recent years will be curtailed corresponding curb in the activities of the controlling departments seems natural sequence.

Geneyieve Forbes Herrick, able executive assistant and press re- lations chief to "Generap Oveta Cub Hobby, firmly declared that "acts of God" will not be recog- nized and pregnancy will auton1a- tically result in discharge from the Corps.
 WAAC is receiving hundreds Of letters, telegrams and telephone calls from women desiring to er- list, but Mrs. Herrick emphasized that ro recruits will be enlisted until 45O officers have been trata- ed-probably in three months.
 Officers will be selected in the various Army Corps areas. Any woman between the ages of 2l and 45 may apply at an Army recruit ing station. The Army will select the officers.
 Most applicants so far are from the higher income groups-Junior League, D. A. R., etc. But WAAC hopes to draw its personnel, both officers and enlistees, from wide social and economic range.
 RYRDLIKE ECONOMY
 For two days this week Senator Harry F. Byrd led a slashing Sen- ate attack to halve all funds for the Farm Security Administration, which aids tenants and little farmers. The bitter attack got nowhere. The Senate slapped Byrd down by the overwhelming vote of 48 to l6.
 This was no new experience for the millionaire Virginia apple grower. Although frequently re. bufSed, Byrd continues to be the No. 1 CIamorer for EcOnomy-ex- cept when 1t comes to certain personal matters.

 ANOTHER RAID
 Meanwhile, CIo chiefs are busy behind the scenes repelling an- other attempted Lewis raid.
 This one is in the Clearinghouse Workers, headed by J. c. Lewis. Although no relation of John L., J. o. Is 8 close henchman and a veteran UNIV organizer.
 Recently, Murray received 8 number of complaints from PW members that J. Q. was quietly working with a group of Lewis agents, headed by Ray Edmond son, another veteran Lewis herlch- man, to pull the union out of the CIO and presumably tie up with District 50.
 Irate PW officials have asked Murray to remove J. c. and to clean out other Lewisites. Action on this is scheduled to be taken at the next CIO Executive Board meeting.
 NOTE: One United Mine Work CTS state branch already has quit the CIO. Under the leadership of William Mitch, Alabama isolation jst, officials of District 20, which he heads, voted to withdraw from the Alabama State Industrial Union Council.

The Roots of Imitation

Once upon time many years ago, little wart appeared on the side of the fourth finger on our right hand. Since It was not painful or particularly pbtrusive, the wart was neglected Grad ually it grew. In time, tiny warts began kO appear on other fingers which came into contact with the original excreS- eence. Disturbed, at last, we attacked the newer growths and kept them under control But the original tunor = the reed wart - thrived on, and bred new offspring. Eventually we were shaken out of the manana attitude, obtained some cetic acid and killed off the seed Wart Thenceforward we had no more trouble.
 All of which comes to mind whenever we stop to think about the way Wash ington is trying to control the imitation which New Deal and Old Deal both dread and say that we must stop at any cost. By imposing ceiling upon prices which retailers can charge legally for most Jacks beanstalk climb of the price level. The prices which competitive retail out lets normally charge are fixed generally by the costs of the goods they sell. Those costs are governed largely by raw mater lal and labor charges.
 But the cost of labor and the price of farm products - two major elements which go to make up the cost of those things still flowing to retailers shelves
 are not to be fixed.
