SO YOU'RE disappointed. per
hapS angry at the other fellow
because he hasn't lived up to
your expectations.
You thought for years that he
was an admirable person. that
he fitted all your ideals. He was
steady. industrious. honest and
amiable.
And now he has suddenly gone
of on a tangent. Done some
thing OF which you can't possibly
approve. something entirely con-
trdry 10 your conception Of all
that's fine and decent. Worse
yet, he has done something con-
trary 10 his own pattern, as you
saw IT.
You feel that he has betrayed
not only himself, but you.
Yes, that's a common reaction
Whether the other fellow be man
or woman.
I'VE always feel that he should
behave as we thought he should
behave.
We have set pattern for him
10 follow as we have for our
selves. And we are indignant
if he doesn't follow it.
We Succumb
Or perhaps we ourselves do
not follow the pattern we have
made for ourselves?
We have a certain idea of our
own character. We think We
have certain established virtues.
Then suddenly circumstances
change We succumb 10 tcmpta-
tons we have never known
before. We seem possessed Of
alien devils. We run amuck.
And we are horror-stricken al
our own decentralization.
Sometimes so horror-Stricken
that we never resume our con-
tact with healthy hopeful life.
Indignation with the other fell
low or contempt of ourselves
it's all part of the same stupid,
morbid concept of human nature.
For there is no more reason for
contempt than there is for self
condemnation.
They are both based on the
ignorant idea that we are all Of
a piece and should live con-
Sistently But no one can live
consistently, for none of us is
made consistently.
We are made of many quail

And yet somebody or other

ROSEVILLE - Mrs. William
Oliver, of 27503 Elmhurst ave-

by the War Department of the
death of her son, Master Ser
geant Ray A. Oliver, while in
active combat somewhere in
Australia.

sergeant was reported as miss
ing, whereupon his mother i'm
mediately left for Savannah, Ca,

was there that the tragic news
was brought this week.
Credited with II years of
Army service and the first to en-
list as bombardier in the
United States Army Air Corps,
Sgt. Oliver also received several
sharp-shooting honors and just
recently was honored with the
purple heart citation for brav-
cry.
Both the deceased and his
family are well-known in Rose

area. Besides his wife and

MORE ABOUT MEIGS

The other day this column criticized
the appointment Of Merrill c. Meigs as
chief of the aircraft production branch
of the War Production Board. We held
that the job should have gone to some
body who knew something about air.
plane production, not to newspaper
man.
Since then, we've investigated the back
ground Of Mr. Meigs, the administrations s
chief of aircraft production.
He was graduated from the University
of Chicago, and Immediately became a
salesman for Hearst's American Weekly
Sunday supplement Thereafter he be-
came publisher Of the now defunct Chica-
go Ferald-Examiner, then publisher of
the Chicago American. and then Of the
combined American and Herald-Examin
er He left the latter post to become
western manager Of Hearst's magazines,
but after while left that job to become
again publisher of the Herald-American.
He left there to enter government service
as an appointive executive.
That is the record of Mr.. Meigs' busl-
ness life In it we see nothing which
makes US change our previous opinion:
there ought to be an aircraft production
expert and not a neWspaperman, IN
charge of wartime aircraft production
in this country.

YARDSHCK OF VALUE
IN TIME OF CRISIS

Artificial values have way of disap-
pearing when men are faced with critical
times and fataful decisions.
AS il is with men, so it is with all
the things men deal in.
There are silver and tin, for instance.
Man has made of silver a thing far be-
yond its physical value. He has used it
in his money and in his ornaments. He
has fought for it. and sacrificed for it,
and, sometimes, killed for it. Tin? He
has used it to coat his cans and to con-
tain his shaving cream, to wrap his cigar
cites and plate the stronger metals. Sell
dom has he considered it valuable enough
to warrant great sacrifice and strug
gle.
But values change.
This week the United States treasury
prepared to turn over 10000 tons of sill
yer to substitute for tin in such things
as soldier and 'bus bars" that carry
great loads of electricity. The tin is too
valuable now to use in those places, so
we're going to use silver instead.
Life depends upon tin today, because
tin is among the metals that men use
to'build Like the labor of farmer it
is something too often overlooked until
the need for it becomes acute. Only then
do we realize how vital is this element
upon which we have placed so little
value.
1t is the same with men.
There are basic qualities which, too
often, are held lightly until the world
is in crisis. They are courage, stamina,
character, resourcefulness, honesty and
innate appreciation of our fellow man.
They are the things the world must have
if, from day to day, progress is to con-
tinue toward the ultimate goals of civil
ization They are too often overlooked
in our inclination to worship what we
call success, without examining the ele-
ments Of that quality.
We would go far toward a better world
if we could at al times, place true evalu-
atons upon tbs things we use and the
things We are.
Peace time or war time, we need tin
as badly as we need silver-and some
times we need it more. Let's remember
that

MORE PAY
FOR SOLDIERS

(Christian Science Monitor)
If there's anybody who deserves gener-
osity in these times, it's the man in uni
form. The United States Senate has
passed bill prepared by its Military
Affairs Committee to raise the base pay
of privates in the Army and apprentice
seamen in the Navy to S42 a month and
to increase the pay or allowances of non
commissioned and commissioned officers
in both services
The rise in general costs of living af-
fectS to some extent the man in the arm
ed forces, especially if he has dependents
even though his food, clothing, and shell
ter are furnished to him. Yet even here
the pay Increase must be carefully meas
ured so that it may not contribute an
other fillip to the rising cycle that leads
to initiation and to war cost beyond the
nations resources.
Another point is worthy of attention
by Congress and by the individual sol
der After the close of the war the en-
listed man or officer will have more need
of funds than now. He should have some
savings to bridge the adjustment back in
to civilian employment If the increased
pay were given in the form of defense
bonds or if the soldier were encouraged
to set aside in this way definite amount
for a postwar reserve, the benefit in most
cases would be greater than from an in
crease for Immediate spending.

WAR BOND SALES

Nevada State JournaD
Without resorting to the drives that
were used in the last war to sell Liberty
Bonds the United States treasury depart
ment has pursued more thorough but
less spectacular method in disposing of
the War Bonds (misnamed Defense
Bonds) to finance this war, and it has
been successful.
Its success. is measured by the millions
of bonds and stamps that have been sold
but this war is eating up money fast and
bonds and stamps in increasing numbers
must be purchased by the people.
A pledge campaign, which the Ameri-
can Legion has undertaken for the treas
ury department., is to be launched immed
lately and it is hoped that through that
method the systematic purchase of bonds
and stamps by millions of Americans will
be assured. There is nothing compulsory
about the pledge but it has a patriotic
appeal, which, no doubt, will stimulate
bond sales by making every American
conscious of his or her duty.
War bonds are an investment. Those
who sign the pledge are not being asked
for donation. They are being asked to
invest regularly in United States bonds
and thus provide just proportion of the
vast sums necessary to carry on this war.
They are investing in America.

be prepared TO compromise on In
dian demands for control of home
defense, but it was acknowledged
that hopes were not high for break
in the present deadlock in negotia-
tions.
A final decision on the mission OF
Sir Stafford Cripps in India may
come in the next 43 hours, it was
understood
Responsible sources said that the
indications at the moment pointed
toward failure CT the mission, ap-
parently because of dispute over
demands of the all-India congress
(majorit;J party for control Of In
dia's defense.
The war cabinet is prepared to
grant the Indians "a certain limited
degree OF representation" in defense
matters. it was said, but is opposed
TO yielding full control on all mat
ters except strategy as demanded
by the congress.
