one or two backfield men, they were
big fellows.
The freshmen tried the plays
against the varsity first team, then
against the second team and finally
against the third team. Several
times the freshman backs ripped
through the varsity, and the coaches
called for better tackling.
The freshman left halfback was
much smaller than the other men
on the field and I figured his weight
at about $50 pounds. Time and
again he carried the ball. He was
a fast runner, but almost every time
he was tackled I heard a noise from
under the pile. It sounded like
"oomph!' or "umph!" and must
have been made by the little half
back, who did not enjoy having the
big fellows fall on him.
College football players work hard
between games, harder than most
persons realize. Yet they have mo-
ments when they crack jokes or
enjoy some little incident.
While the second team was run
ming through signal drills, one of the
backf1eld men said: Il guess I have
the best passing record on the team.
I've passed four times and every
time the ball has been caught by
the other side!"

Cultural Sop Given
sGzechs by Nozis

In their wish to deter the c1echs from
psfsuins their relentless strugsls TO
regain fresdon, the Nazis have left them
some possibilities Of entertainment. They
foster sport, encourage games OF all
kinds, tolerate theaters and concerts
This toleration of certain amount OF
cultural life Is Of course, not founded
on respect for Czech cultural values, but
is rather a sop given the Czechs as proof
of Nazi "1iberality."
Czech theaters, therefore, though re-
stricted and controlled, are still alive;
Czech concerts are being given; and
Czech art exhibitions are being held. The
National Theater in Prague. built from
the contributions of all classes Of people
as the Czech inscription Prom the
Nation to the Nation" proclaims-is
forced to produce some of the crude trash
of the Nazi scribblers; but it can, in spite
of this, to a limited extent cultivate
national art.
Various nationalistic works have, Of
course, been forbidden. For example,
Smetana's "Libuse," with its inspiring
prophecy Of the future glory OF the
nation. Other works have been banned
for special reasons: Dvorak's opera,
"Jakobin,' because the knave's name
happens to be Adolf.
Shakespearean plays are also on the
forbidden list but new, very complete
biography Of Shakespeare was recently
published, as was also new and excel
lent translation Of Chaucer's poetical
works
Thus in many subtle ways the Czech
people find means OF expressing their
profound opposition to their German
| oppressors.

BERN, Switzerland-The peoples OF
Europe, most of them under the domi-
nation of Adolf Hitler, approach the
winter with an anxious eye on the larder
and further Tightening OF the belt.
Dispatches from Axis lands to the
Swiss press, stories Of travellers, official
restrictions and broadcasts on Europe's
air waves produce picture of a conti-
nent on which, while relatively few face
death by starvation, the cumulative ef-
fects of malnutrition are ever more
widely felt.
This does not add up to any forecast
OF an early hunger induced collapse.
But rations are being cut, governments
are tightening their grip on food sup
plies; farmers are exhorted, cajoled,
promised rewards, or threatened in the
struggle to get more food.
For the Germans as for the French
and the Poles-this will be the fourth
war winter. Older folk remember that
fourth war winter in the last great war.
Germany Lacks Vegetables.
Following are some Of the high lights
Of the continental picture as they are
presented to the neutral Swiss by their
press and their radios:
The Bern newspaper Tagwacht quoted
4 traveller newly arrived from Germany
as saying that Ihany living in western
/ Germany are Suffering from lack Of
vegetables and that undernourishment
Is q common aflment, especially In per-
sons over As.
ut is a great error to believe Germany
will experience an internal revolution .
this traveller was quoted as saying
There no longer is the power of re-
sistance (to the Nazi regime)"
Fascist officials have announced that
Italy's wheat crop exceeded last years
but at the same time they reduced the
spaghetti allotment from 10 to SO grams
(from 2.46 to 1.76 ounces) daily while the
bread ration remains $50 grams (52o
ounces, one OF the lowest in all Europe.
The italian radio meanwhile is beginning
its news programs with an appeal to
farmers patriotism to deliver all grain
to state authorities.
Rumania Has No Extra Grain.
Rumania, once grain exporter, has
served notice that she will need all Of
her crop for home needs. Hungary has
made similar declaration.
Germany's foreign workers-now esti-
mated to number 5000, ,0Oo-are increas-
| ing her food problem. Some OF them are
farm workers but there are many more
munitions makers than food producers
Farmers are offered cash prizes for
producing butter, eggs and honey over
quotas set by the authorities.
A Berlin dispatch to the National
Zeitung of Basel said Nazi officials were
considering erecting public kitchens for
| mass feeding but, recalling the peoples
dislike for such feeding in 1917-18, had
not come to decision.

home the bomber was hit again and

an appalling sight. The fuselage was
full of smoke, flames were rising through
the floor and creeping up the sides of
the plane.
Incendiaries Were Burning.
''The racks of incendiaries not dropped
over Berlin because Of bad visibility,
were burning furiously along the whole
length of the plane.
'The fight against that fire went on a
long time. From the ground every ack-
ack battery in its course fired at the
blazing bomber. The pilot tried to jetti-
son the burning incendiaries, but the
electric switch would not work The Sec

New Public Relations System Needed;
Americans Can Take Bad News

sunk, much Of the war material Is await
ing transportation at Murmansk and
Archangel, where two rickety railroads
are not adequate to move the colossal
amounts of war material unloaded in
those harbors. But what other obli-
cations we have undertaken to our Rus
sian and British associates nobody knows
probably not even the military chiefs
and the Secretary of State.
The Nation Is completely in the dark
on that score. 1t is also pretty much in
the dark as far as war production is con-
cerned For months thousands of press
releases were issued in Washington on
the subject OF our production miracles.
Then Mr. Davis came along with more
realistic picture Of the situation. Follow
ing this came more accurate, although
less official, information about our lag in
production.
It Is doubtful whether the agencies
most intimately connected with war pro-
duction know what the real picture is.
There Is bound to be good bit Of III
feeling about this matter until we are
given an inkling OF what is going on. 1t
Is fair to assume that our production to
arm and equip large American force is
progressing satisfactorily, but when a
large and unknown portion has to be
sent to Russia, Britain, India, Egypt and
the Near East it is natural that the pic
ture turns a little dark.
System Should Change.
High-powered and wishful thinking
public relations men have been carried
away by the impetus Of our industrial
effort and believed at one time that some
of the fantastic production figures set
forth would actually be fulfilled this
summer. To contradict their statements
would have been tantamount to de-
featism.
So long as the present public relations
system continues 1t is not likely that the
country will know with any degree Of &C
curacy what IS going on. But it is pos
sible that in the next few months those
who are directing this general policy will
realize that it is doing more harm than
good and will begin to treat military
operations and the war effort more re-
alistically.
Much pressure is being brought now on
those responsible for the conduct of the
war to make them understand that the
people Of the United States are anxious
to form their own opinions on the basis
Of accurate information.

'TI1E NATIONS shortage or faulty distribution
of man power, more than any other one thing,
has made it difficult for industry to attain what
President Roosevelt has described as but little
more than so per cent of the maximum possible
war production and that its maximum capacity
could be reached "only by stripping our civilian
to the bone"
How to find the necessary man power to reach
our maximum war production capacity is the ma
tion's most troublesome question Many ways have
been tried to solve this problem such as freezing
jobs, hiring women, training new workers and
scores of others. One fruitful field of man power
has been overooked-the federal government pay
roll 1t is overloaded with possible war production
man power
At the end of the eighth month of World War
II it has 100000 civil servants, as compared
with the $4,000 federal government employees
at the end Of World War |. Today's list is growing
by the thousands every day Many of these men
and women could help the war effort more by fill
ing war Jobs in the factories or the farms than
they can in the government jobs they fill. This
applies particularly to the thousands of new public
servants, now in the process of being hired by
three separate government departments to re-
negotiate war contracts for the purpose of re-
excess profits.

RUBBER PROGRESS

SOME EXPERTS now believe that, in the reIs-
:" lively near future, enough rubber and rubber
substitutes will be made available to keep con-
portion of our civilian cars in operation
If that happens, the much-maligned oil industry
Will deserve goodly share of the credit.
The oil industry, its critics Notwithstanding,
has done outstanding work in developing various
kinds of synthetic rubber. In many instances, it
is operating goVernment-Owned synthetic rubber
plants without any profit to itself. And the oil
industry was the dominant factor in the recent
and successful campaign to collect scrap rubber
This industry, in short is devoting its energies
and resources to attempts to produce in adequate
quantity rubber that can be used for making new
tires and recappng old castings. 1t has already
made great progress in tat direction, and its
chemists believe that in time an inexpensive rub
Der substitute which will be superior to natural
rubber in all ways will be developed In the mean
time, the oil industry is wisely counseng the
public to drive slowly at all times, to abandon all
driving, and to make tires and cars
last to the, limit.
