NEW 1DEAS NEEDED
Mental habits
Are just as real as bones
That's what is the matter with this
synthetic rubber business
AS we'll as the related businesses of
aluminium, magnesium, gasoline
These jobs were turned over to some
dollar-a-year men
Being big business men, they didn't
need any salaries
They knew all about what had been
going on in that business
Before America got into the war,
before there was any emergency
1t was supposed they would make
that knowledge available
For the benefit of the whole Ameri-
can people
And that is just what some of them
did not do
They are not in the habit
OF giving valuable information
For the benefit of every Tom, Dick
and Harry
They were not dishonest, or crooked
about it, at all
They just acted according to their
customary business Judgment
Thinking themselves to be the best
judges Of what should be done
Just as they have always done in
thpir own h,1SinaCs
They have never had to seriously
take any account
Of what should be done for the bene-
fit of the nation as such
Therefore it is totally unaccus-
toned exercise
For them to struggle with this idea,
of the general welfare
Many of them wouldn't know the
bird on the street.
Some of these dollar-a-year men are
engineers
If so, their engineering judgment Is
something which has been tied up
Their principal function has become
The job of getting dividends, draw.

Their objective has been, to bring
home the bacon, in strips of divi

But, if you are an oil corporation

You cannot do that by getting buta

land and sea; and their record dur
ing the Boxer uprising in China is
one Of the most brilliant pages in
their history. In the first World
War they astounded the Germans
by the fierceness with which they
fought. The enemy named them
Devil Dogs.
Now with our country again at
war, the United States Marine
Corps is proving itself more valu-
able Its officers and men have the
reputation of being the RICHEST and
toughest members of our armed
forces. This characteristic was dis
played vafientiy in the motion pic
ture Wake Island and repeated
at the Battle of Midway in June
1912. Although the story of the
fall of Wake Island is not pleas
ant, we know that the small de-
tachment of Marines which defend
ed that island for some II days
under furious enemy fire wrote one
of the most brilliant pages of
American history They fought 10
the last man, and when the Japa-
nese asked for surrender, they only
replied send us more Japs".
At the Battle Of Midway the story
was quite different. The Marines
defended the small mid-PaCifc out
post in most gallant manner.
This time they were prepared for

the enemy The result was an over
whelming victory for the Marines.
At this present moment a detach.
ment of Marines are fighting in the
far off Solomon Islands. They
have succeeded in gaining a strong
foothold in that area. There is 10
doubt in any of our minds that the
Marines will succeed in crushing
the enemy In its attempt to domi-
nate the Solomons.
These Marines are ready for any
situation that should come. Our
hats should go off to the men NJ
this corps, who although they have
never written a word, are now writ
ing an impressive account of them
selves. This story OF course re-
lates the details of the history they
are making.
This year the United States Ma
rine Corps celebrate its one hun
dred and sixty-seyenth anniversary.
Let's go Marines. Make 1t one

Monday the Marines had a birth

ty.seven years ago November 10,
1775 the Continental Congress at
Philadelphia authorized their for
nation.
The first expedition OF the Ma.
rines at sea was in 1916, when a
detachment OF them under Captain
Nicholas left Philadelphia for the
Bahamas to capture British ammu-
milton and stores held there. The
corps was abolished along with
Army and Navy at the close Of the
Revolutionary War for reasons Of
economy. But in 1871 it was order
ed that Marines were to be a part
of the complement of every naval
vessel built under the direction of
Congress. On July II. 1898 Con-
gress ordered the creation of the
corps as atp resent organized. It
was named the United States Ma
rine Corps. and directed that 1t be
available for service under the d.
rection Of the Secretary OF Navy

CLOSING IN

The drive for control OF important
African ports is step toward
closing in on German supply routes
while the Allied nations at the
same time improve their position
in way that may prove to be a
turning point in the war.
The flow OF important raw ma
terials. particularly vegetable oils,
TO Germany will be sharply reduced
as the United States gains tight
hold over the French North Afri-
can colonies.
Control OF Africa would make
possible almost complete control
OF the Mediterranean forcing Axis
ships from these vital shipping
lanes and thus greatly increasing
the strangling effect Of the Nazi
war economy. Also Germany's abb
lily TO draw on Spain for food sup
plies and minerals would be cur
tailed.
Allied control OF the Mediterran-
can would make IL possible 10 sup
ply United Nations forces in the
Near East through the shorter
Mediterranean route instead Of
sending vessels around the Cape OF
Good Hope. which would release
a large amount Of shipping.
The psychological effect Allied
domination of Africa and the south
ern Mediterranean coastline will
be another important factor to be
felt in Germany and Italy. With
continued military hammering, this
psychological effect might even
lead to the collapse Of Italy.
These speculauons depend. OF
course. on the destruction OF Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel's army and
occupation and control of the
French North African colonies, but
it is quite possible that these OBJ
jectives may be realized.
Germany has been getting guam
titles of peanut and olive oil
highly important TO the Nazis be-
cause Of their shortage OF fats
from the French colonies, and about
rs per cent of the materials NOV
ing into the unoccupied French port
OF Marseilles has been coming from
French North Africa.
Other materials coming from the
African colonies include wheat
from Algeria. phosphates, probably
some rubber from French West
Africa. a small amount OF iron
ore, and certain highly valuable
alloy materials like tungsten, cacao
and wines. The loss Of these i'm
ports will be keenly felt. Add TO
this curtailment Of shipping, the i'm
provement in routes OF the Allied
Nations and the success Of the Afri-
can campaign becomes obviously Of
great military value.

General Treatment

The general treatment of a cold
consists in making the patient as
comfortable as possible with rest,
not foot baths, protective blankets
and such medicines as aspirin.
Everyone, however, thinks that
the local condition in the nose
should be treated, and while this
does appear logical, it should be
done with some regard for the
changes that are going on.
During the first stage applica-
tons to the inside of the nose are
not only futile, but harmful. What
is needed is moisture for the swol-
len, dry membrane. So steam in
halations and steam kettles to
moisten the atmosphere are in
order. Plenty Of fluids by mouth,
so that the whole body is full Of
fluid, is an adjunct to the local ad.
ministration Of moisture.
During the second stage-about
the second or third day-the less
local treatment the better because
manipulation might interfere with
the action of the white blood cor
puscles.
Douches and Sprays
The third stage, heralded by the
discharge Of mucous and pus, in.
1icates that the battle between the
germs and the white blood corpus
cles is about over and now local
treatment may be of great help
and relief. The accumulated debris
should be removed by douching
and softening sprays.
As good a solution TO use as any
is salt solution. 1t dissolves mu-
,ous and does the slightest amount
If harm.
Drugs for the nose should be
selected with care as the ones with
destructive action DO more harm
