president ROOSEVELT castgated careless in
/ dustrial workers and numb-brained auto drivers as
saboteurs of the American effort They caused a
loss of AZ 100000 man-hours last year.
Carelessness is inexcusable. Every hour of work
counts Every disabling accident the loss of some
valuable weapon of war 1t is just necessary to keep
our work army we'll and it's machines is to keep
armed forces healthy and fighting.
Every day, every hour every minute men are carried
out of the production line by careessness effectively
as if they had been shot down by the enemy. Highly
skilled workers are laid low by their fellow
workers thoughtlessness Others victims Of their
own others reckless driving
We in Detroit the Arsenal of Democracy should give
heed the words of the President Every driver every
worker should make himself responsible for the health
and welbeng of his fellow Let strveSin
factories in streets and in homes to make them
safe places to live and work and not lose precious
moment from production.

The True Spirit

CPEAKING at the ArmyNavy award to the Chew
- roet Gear and Axle division, Michael Lacy repre-
senting the workers, said:
I've have not lost day of production from
strikes in this plant. Give us the materials and we
will double production in the next six months"
This is the true spirit of the the line in
the citys plants. The hotheads and widcatters
have been highlghted in the and have given the
city bad publicity
But loyal workers like these Chevrolet men want
to produce, they producing and they will continue
to produce in increasing quantities despite the few NAL
contents who are constantly upsetting schedules and
slowing down the effort
More power to Michael Lacy and the vast body of
honest workmen like him.

A Generous. Offer

\ N APPEAL is being made to Michigan's aliens to
a take steps to become American citizens Gener-
aid is offered in the form of night school classes,
text books and other educational facilities to enable
them to pass the strict examinations.
1t is fine open-hearted offer and made in the
spirit of the nation There is need for any induce
mens to be held out to those natives of foreign
tries who enjoying rights and privileges to take
the oath of fealy to the United States 1t should need
urging to bring them into the fold of democracy.
Those who do not take advantage of this appeal
should be carefully investigated Their holding back
from citizenship is evidence that they do not share
views free
They should be segregated from those honest, in
dusous aliens who embrace the opportunity to win for
themselves the badge of citizenship

Call for Sailors

NPENING of a recruiting office here by the United
~ States Maritime Commission affords the youth
Of Detroit opportunity to their country in the
United States Merchant Marine
The Importance of this branch of the service cannot
be overemphasized and the government has fit to
exempt trainees from Selective Service
Food and supplies MUST GET THROUGH to
troops abroad
And It is the Merchant Marine that will deliver the
goods!
1t is a job which takes courage and daring and is
challenge to the men of Detroit.
In setting up the recruiting center in the Hammond
Building the Maritime Commission takes cognzance of
Derots pre-emnent position in the field Of waterborne
commerce on the Great Lakes.
Many Detroiters have true love for the water is
evidenced by the popularity of pleasure boating here
That this city fill it's quota of merchant sailors is
just important supplying full share of soldiers,
sailors and marines.

Figures MAY Lie

INCREASED gasoline tax receipts says Secretary of
- State Harry F. Kelly, indicate Michigan motorists
saved the equivalent of 10 $50 new tires in July.
He bases the opinion the hypothesis that reduced
car mileage has resulted in rubber economy.
This is not necessarily true
1t is not HOW MUCH You use your tires, but HOW
you them that determines their life.
Underinhaton sudden starts and stops high speeds
and failure TO switch tires wheels at intervals are
factors which away precious rubber.
Only when these simple rules respected Sec
.retary Kely's optimistic conclusions become fact

likely that after election the
restrictions intended to save
rubber or the transportation of
gasoline will reduce the slaughter
to the minimum.
The time for genuine alarm
over the killing is gone, or going
fast, and regret is hardly worth
the effort and time of man
who bears the greatest individual
load of work and responsibility
in all the world.
But the President then pro-
ceeded to the toll of $4,000 killed
in industrial accidents and more
than 100000 injured and said
that among that vast number
killed and injured last year were
many men and women who could
have helped to build planes,
tanks, ships and guns or could
have served in civilian defense
or other essential services.

 Nom and Pop were already seated at the table eating when she arrived. Enid forced herself to smile.
 DO you mind. Nom, if I don't eat now? I'm SO hot and tired"
 She lay across the cool-sheeted bed and tried to stop her nervous trembling. It had been a shock seeing Clare Adams picture star ing at her from that newspaper in the mans hands.

 Enid hadn't seen any more, turning her eyes blindly away, not wanting to see that hateful, tri- umphant face, not wanting to know the details of the coming wedding.
 She tried to bolster herself with pride. She was glad now that she had missed seeing Hank at his office. At least she had been spared the humiliation of having thrown herself at him.

See a doctorl Yes, If it was the | right doctor, that might cure her trouble, she told herself with ironic honesty But the jibe did not stop the wave of acute long ing that swept over her at the thought of Hank Holiday.
 And after moment she raised her head and stared unseeingly at the half-typed letter before her. Why not go to see him? She really was unwell. She'd have a perfectly legitimate excuse for go- ing to his office.
 With furry of renewed energy she attacked the remaining letters on her desk.
 She didn't know what office hours young Dr. Holiday kept, but she did know that many of the surgeons and specialists on Broad street, the towns medical center, were "In" all afternoon. So there was a chance, if she hur- ried. that she might see Hank before he left his office for the day.
 And luck was almost with her. She had reached the corner op- posite the long stucco building where the Holidays, senior and junior, had their offices. when she was delayed momentarily by traffic light. As she waited for the signal to change she saw two men come out of the entrance of the building across the street and hurry to an automobile waiting at the curb
 Almost instantly Enid recog- nized the younger of the two men as Hank. She looked eagerly at the automobile as it came across the intersection toward her. but Hank was driving and with his eyes intent on trafiic, heavy at that hour, did not see the girl smiling at him from the curb.
 And yet oddly enough. Enid wasn't altogether disappointed, Just seeing him for that brief mos ment had done something to her. She felt warm and alive again. and made energetic plans as sine &NARNN1 ktAh ~NtRs " hffN hfNAA street and waited for a noTth- bound bus.

Then she slipped into one oi Aer old summer dresses hanging in her bedroom closet and took a critical inventory in the mirrow
 She didn't need any makeup for the sunburn she had acquired that afternoon had reddened her lips and given her face soft and lovely flush. Above her pink cheeks her eyes were wide and shining 7. and expectant.
 She could pretend to herself and nearly succeed in believing = that she was doing matter-of factly an errand that had to be done. Her months rent on the Arlington apartment was up, and she had to hand over the key.
 But her heart wasn't fooled by this elaborate justification. It was singing because she was going to see Hank Holiday again very shortly - and maybe a miracle would happen. Maybe, somehow, fate at last smiling on her, would make 1t possible for her to go on seeing Hank although her truant month was over.
 Upon arrival at her destination, Enid told the taxi driver that he needn't wait. It would take some time to pack. She could call an- other cab when she was ready to leave or maybe Hank would drive her home.
 She went into the apartment that had been her home for three happy weeks. and packed her clothes and looked around to see that everything in the apartment was just as it had been when she had rented it. Then she set her bags out in the hall locked the door, and went down the corridor to Hank Holidays apartment.
 She pressed his doorbeil and waited, her blood pounding dig zily in her head. But the door didn't open, and Hank didn't smile at her from the threshold. There was no sound at all from within his apartment.
 Enid pressed the bell again with some urgency. The possibility Of his not being at home simply hadn't occurred to her. In the silence she heard footsteps shui. fling up the back stairs from the basement. and the next moment Siin, the Janit0F appeared iD the YRaF nf the corridor.
