Woodrow Herbert Daniel 49,
year-old self-styled "spittin' i'm

it was the Blair exploit which
inspired him to drive one
horse delivery wagon 1926 miles
from Atlanta, Ga, to Hollywood,
seeking a chance in the same
movie.
Daniel was just four months
and eight days late for the De-
Mile picture. And besides, the
owner of the parking lot
wouldn't rent him space. He
said Blair had been enough Of

It is on odd thing that the same
people who assume that Britain and
the United Stotes foee sweeping social
changes as result Of the war also as
sumo thot Russia will emerge unchone-
ed. 1t seems unlikely. Already Stain
seems to have called off the onti-re-
Ii9ious compoien for the duration, and
it may never be revived. Men returning
from war usually demand greater
freedom than before, and Russia is Just
as likely to move toward democracy as
the democroeies are to move toward
Communism. In Russia, Communism
has already passed through three sys-
TENS in which all changed but the
name. The war may we'll bring on q
fourth. There is no reason to assure that
Russia will be exempt from the general
expectation that no country will be
quite the same.
1t is because we have foith in our
American institutions that we fight to
uphold them against military oeeres-
sion. We must have foith that we can
uphold them equally against whatever
condition land no one can guess what
it will bel may arise in the wars ofter-
moth. Right now, our guiding stor in
the war effort must be this:
Any holding out, any reservations,
in the united drive for victory is ter
ribIy likely to result in universal disos-
ter for all.

CHILD HEALTH EDUCATION
NEEDED

The need for child health educo-
tion is wildly shown in q study made
in the typicoI city Of Chicago, by q
group Of physicians. The health records
Of more than 5000 children, about
evenly divided as to sex, were onoIyzed.
Their oees ranged from z to l8 years,
with SO per cent between 5 and II.
It was found that children from
non-reIief fomIies we're no less in need
Of medical and dental core than those
from relief levels. Variations between
the different income levels with re-
spect to incidence and type of care
needed, were small.
The examining physicians dseov-
cred four focts Of greet importance.
First, so per cent Of all the children
were in need Of medical care.
Second, So per cent were in need
OF dental core.
Third, Il per cent had not been
voccinoted against smallpox.
Fourth, "a per cent had not been
immunized against diphtherio.
Whot is true in Chicago, is unques-
tionobIy true to practically the same
degree in the country at large. The
toct that so large proportion of our
children are growing up in relatively
poor physical condition, BODIES i'll for
the notions future. The responsibility
is up to the parents - no child need do
without first-cIoss medical attention if
and when needed. Take your children
to the doctor periodically, and follow
his odvice to the letter.

Hieh|iehts from
the Latest Books

Inc salty Tang OF the sea, IO-
nance of the early days Of the
American merchant marine, the
fabulous wealth of the Far East
for which the allies and Japan
csc now are struggling, are all
wrapped up in James B. Con-
nolly's Canton Captain" (Dou-
bleday Doran: $3).
The book is biography OF
Robert Forbes, whose career at
sea began at IA, brought him a
captaincy and ship at the age OF
10, the rank of commodore after
the Civil War, and filled his life
with adventures which read like
fiction. Here are Chinese pir-
ates and opium runners, man
darins and Chinese princes.
South America and its rich trade
in the early 1905, the warship
jamestown that took supplies to
starving Irish, and work with
the inventor Of the Monitor,
Ericsson.
Few lives have been packed
with the color that filled the ca
reer of Forbes. The author, one
of the country's best when 1t
comes to telling fictional or
factual tale Of the sea, did .
great Job on this. Especially
vivid is his description of Chin
csc trade practises shortly after
the War of 1912.
Each ship that entered the
port of Canton, principal Chin
csc trade centers, paid tribute
and plenty--before any unload
inn of cargo was done. A man.
DARN, agent of the Hoppe. would
board each ship as 1t anchored.
He would collect 30 many silver
dollars for the ships entrance
fee, 50 many for transport Of
those same dollars to Pekin, 50
many for fee of the superintend-
ent of the treasury, 50 many for
the differences in weight be-
tween the Canton and Pekin
systems, 50 many for melting the
silver into bars.

AND WHAT OF RUSSIAN


This is q tickIish subject. but 1t is
q subject that needs dealing with. In
pleasant to think about, it is eosier to
GLOSS over than to look squoreIy in the
face. 1t must be faced.
One hears it sold. and more often
suggested sIyIy than sold outright, that
the thing to do is to fight japan and
let the European war stew on in its own
juice in the hope that Germany and
Russia will yet exhaust one another in
q no-decision bout. Many Of those who
were most ardent isolotionists before
the war now swing toward some such
view. 1t is bosed on the ideo that
Communist Russia too triumphant over
Germany will turn the whole continent
of Europe to Communism and from
that vantage point Conmunize the
world.
Quite bIuntIy let US say. ut could
happen" There ore no sure things in
war, greatest Of all eombIes. The re-
suits Of war can never be accurately
foreseen.
However, the results Of losing are
so plain, so terrible, and SO imminent
that there can be no doubt about them.
We know what imposition by militory
force Of HitIerism means. Balancing
that oII-too-definite menace against
some possible later outcome leaves only
one decision.
The war, in it's totoI phases, must
be supported in every way that will
bring victory, including every possible
assistance to Soviet Russia. The choice
between present certain evil and q
possible future evil is simple one.
