Wartime Query
DIANA POLLARD
BY WALDO McNAUGHT

ONE OF the most important
" and pulling questions
facing young Detroiters today is
whether TO marry now or to-
wait until the man in uniform
returns from the war.
II IS a question that the young
couple must settle for them
selves. taking into consideration
= all of the elements. remember
ing the hazards CONNECTED with
his safe return.
II is a question. moreover. on
which you get advice on either
side.
AS an aid TO the couple at
tempting TO make up its mind,
cross-section OF Detroit'S popu-
Iation was interviewed.
II was explained that all OF
the elements for a good marriage
were present, that this hypothet-
ical marriage was not hurried
one. but one that would have
taken place except for the war.
Each person interviewed was
then asked TO answer directly
Should she marry him now?"

"The man will know no has

Judge Christopher E. Stein.
the dean of recorders court
judges, believes that the couple
would be wiser to wait"
II know what IL means 10
ask them to wait, but i think
they should look to the future.
It's rather a risky thing to do
getting married before he
o m es back - he may be
wounded, disfigured for Life or
killed in action"
DR.. Lowell S. Selling, pSychia-
trist assigned to recorders
court, disagrees with Judge
Stein.
He believes they should get
married Immediately as long as
all of the elements of q good
marriage are there.
AS long as the uniform r. not
glamoriZed, there r. no reason
for the couple TO walt" he said.
Some Too Young
The younger the couple, how
ever, the less chance there is of
a successful war marriage, Sell
ing believes He explained that
although the opposite was true
in a peacetifne marriage, that
where the couple was to be sep
arated Immediately the parties
might be TO immature to make
the necessary adjustments with
out the companionship OF the
other.
Doctor Selling believes also
that the married woman should
not sit home after her husband
has gone into service but should
accept companionship with men
as long as she makes it clear
that she's a married woman.
All OF the judges disagreed
with Doctor Selling on this
point.
Ralph K. Doherty, supervisor
OF domestic relations at record
er's court, agrees with Judge
Stein.
Doherty is against the couple
even becoming engaged.
The women, too, are divided
on the question.

ALASKA WAR COUNCIL

The straqhtforward manner in which the Alaska War Council has gone about in tackling imposing array of allegations and known problems exist ing in Alaska in connection with the speaks well for the sincerity of the new body
 Some of the subjects which up for discussion during the Councils first meeting last week may have hit where it hurt in quarters when they brought out in the light, but these problems are going have to be laid bare if they to be solved
 We already have discussed the problems of censor ship the apparent inefectiveness of the Civilian Traffic Control Office in Seattle
 The charges that liquor is being shipped to the Territory while food supplies and other necessities stand the docks certainly worth Investigating, and if found true, action should be taken Secre- tary of Alaska E. L. Bartlett flew to Seattle in nection with this problem the day after the first session of the War Council concluded We can ask for no speedier action than that
 Juneauites have had ample opportunity to observe the foolish practice of competitive bidding for work defense projects. Not only does the shift of workers from project to another cause unneces- sary delay in vital work, but since the contractor who loses the men first must usually up his wages to get them back, often the practice has damaging effects upon the contractors obligation since it cuts down the profits and raises the expense upon which he based his bid
 scarcity of truck drivers and demand upon tse drivers for three equally important jobs in this forced the wages of the drivers up on all jobs
 The problem of securing food supplies for some civilian communities also needs probing Some Alas kan communities are in need of perishabes and meat One city has nothing left but reindeer meat no butter or fresh milk little canned milk no per- shables The last commercial vessel docked there last November. These people by no means starv- ing. but their problem needs attention
 The Alaska War Council has plunged into the huge task of helping to straigen these things out in all sincerity The attention of the proper oficals-and the publc-wili be brought to these problems as fast as they arise in all where inform the public would also not give the enemy valuable information
 That's all we can ask of any like organization

They Pay The Freight
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer) American businessmen and firms are making pos- sibe the widespread and effective of newspaper advertising as means of directing and stimulating the nations effort
 Frequently this takes the form of virtually anony- nous advertising appropriations for conservation campaigns, for bond drives and for civilian de- feEse undertakings. The most recent example at hand was the full-page newspaper advertisement which was used as appeal to the public by the Conservation Division of the War Production Board for support of the scrap collection program This advertisement, which explained the need for scrap and gave such details would have been difficult to get across to the American public in any other manner, was made possible by appropriation of the American Industries Salvage Committee for the steel industry
 Last week, the advertisers in the Cincinnati news papers used their space entirely behalf of the war bond and stamp sales program. This was a con- centrated and spectacular illustration of a cornmer- cial policy which became common in recent months Far from infrequently large department stores and business houses make use of their advertising space in part or in whole, to support some phase of the nations war effort.
 The advertising in behalf of civilian defense and conservation programs would be impossible on the present scale were it not for the willingness of so many businessmen and firms to contribute their share of the cost. Often, they receive no public credit for their contributonthe advertising appear ing under the sponsorship of committee At other times, they receive only unadorned credit lines
 Such contributions, however are tremendously ef- fectlve commercial medium for telling the public in detail, what is wanted and how they can help in many essential war undertakings And American business and commercial interests are paying the freight, cheerfully It is a patriotic service which should not go unnoticed.

WATER SERVICE BEING
 EXTENDED TO VILLAGERS

The regular meeting of the Douglas City Council was held last evening with E. E. Engstrom, may or ex-officio, in the chair. City Clerk L. W. Kilburn reported on the work of extending water serv- ice to residents of the native vil- lage ordered at a previous meeting. Four hundred. eighty two feet of water lines will be required to SUD- ply the service and priority has been established to secure the pipe.
 Bonds of school and city treas urers presented at the meeting were approved and ordered filed.
 The condition of the wharf was reviewed and necessity of securing piling timbers this winter to put the structure in proper shape was made project issue.
 Clerk Kilburn reported IT li- censes paid on dogs since June l, making total to date this year about 30. Still being some unpaid those cases must be disposed of in an appropriate manner it was agreed Fun ooverage in bomb in- surarce was ordered taken on school, gym. City Hall and wharf

THE ENEMY WITHIN

In a British West Indies port, four ships were torpedoed by a single submarine, which dared to come into the harbor for this slaughter, in spite of the fact that all four ships had deck guns.
 But the operation was safe, be- cause at the time the submarine came into the harbor, the gun crews were ashore. The submarine had information not only on the whereabouts of the vessels, but on the precise timing for the kill.
 This service is provided by "the enemy within" = agents and spies scattered through the ports of the entire Caribbean and Gulf area, al. area which has been a haven for the lawlesS since the freebootine days of Jean La Fitte, continuing on through the rum-running days of Prohibition.
 In some n-American coun- tries, anybody with g. pair of eyes including Germans, Italians. end Japanese can see the departure Of ships. In the port of Maracaibo Venezuela, for example - and no port is more important for oil ship ments-the docks are open to any body.
 Last month a MERRY GO . ROUND observer lunched in a Maracaibo hotel, and had this con- versation with another man at the table:
 Do you live here?"
 No, thank God!"
 You're an American?"
 Yes, ships officer. And I'm getting out of here at 2 o'clock today"
 Where are you bound for?"
 New York"
 But you never saw me before might be an agent for the Ger mans. Isn't there any restriction on information about ship sail ings?"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOf,apep'
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12
 Again benefic aspects dominate today, which presages good news from the war fronts. The Navy is under rather a good direction of the stars
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under a promising sway today which is suspicious for love affairs. Navy weddings should be especially fortunate. The new Moon of this date warns of increase in crime, es- pecially during dimouts and black outs. Doors should be locked and automobiles watched. The conjunc- ton of Jupiter and Venus is excel lent for domestic affairs, especially for food problems of all sorts. Girls should make the most of all oppor- tunities offered on this date.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wholesale buying for the armed forces of the United States will continue on such tremendous scale that autumn shoppers will discover scarcities in goods and materials they need. Factories and wholesalers will con- tinue to profit as war needs pyra- mid and supplies must be provided in record breaking quantities. Wage earners will spend generously. Pros perity will prevail and the maj orfty of the people of the United States will benefit. Prices will be stabilized, but the general cost of living will advance.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Underneath the war sentiment there will be the inevitable spirit of unrest, accord ing to certain ill omens. Revolu- tionary tendencies, so marked in Europe, will be reflected in the United States where there may he sporadic labor troubles and also difficulties among prisoners. A graft scandal of national interest will be uncovered in the news papers. Coming weeks may affect the country's nerves unfavorably.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :: Treachery in European treaties or pacts will be revealed. Among the Axis powers rumors of separate peace gestures will be circulated to mislead the United Nations, which will have learned much of the usual methods of Hitler and his associ- ates. Some sort of disappointment or reverse for the forces of the United States may be reported with repercussions affecting leadership in the democratic countries.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good luck, but rash impulses may cause misfortunes.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be reserved, independent and sensitive. They should be un- usual in their mental endowment.

BUCK-PAssING

Venezuela has broken relati ,ns with the Axis, but has not de- clared war. It would be simple matter for an AXIS agent to ob- serve the sailing of an American vessel, then radio the news to ! submarine waiting off Maracaioc.
 In fact, that is just what hap pens. Sinkings have been heavy in this area, and shipments of oil from Venezuela have been reduced 70 per cent since last February Meantime, refineries are overflow ing.
 The defense against this should be a monitoring system to locate the hidden radio stations, plcs an expert U. s. intelligence service to locate the spies. And this IS where there has been lamentabe buck passing and inefficiency. The State Department has asked for radio monitoring equipment to be sent Latin- America, but the Army, necd- ing it for the Signal Corps, has delayed.
 Meanwhile Naval Intelligence is composed for the most part ot well-educated young officers from good families who would gladly give their own lives for their country put who know no more about get ting the lowdown on the jetsam oi the waterfront than the average dock-worker knows about Harvard
 Meanwhile the ships go down at the rate of two, three or four a day. And the submarines. instead of wasting fuel in search of ships lie in wait for their victim -ane will continue to do so until the espionage problem is licked.

HOW IT WORKS

To illustrate, here is the exper- fence of a member of the MERRY GO-ROUND team who recently re- turned from survey of the Car ibbean Sea. After flying all day across the sea, from Venezuela to Haiti to Cuba, the pilot of the plane remarked:
 Did you see any ships any where?"
 No, did you2"
 Not one. And We were flying at 10000 feet, with wide range o1 vision. But I didn't see a single ship all day.
 Then how does it happen" tht pilot was asked, that submarine lying on the surface, with nc range to speak of, can spot tho ships and sink them?"
 The answer" said the plot, 'i that the subs don't hun. out tht ships. They get information O ship departures, and they lie il wait for the kill. They don't cruis, around looking for ships. Tn, ships come to them"
 The pilot was right. The success. of the German submarine cam. paign is the result of a highly ef. ficient system of espionage anc communication, which allows sub. marines to know the names O. ships, tonnage. port of departure and the time.
 Recently, United Fruit Co. yes sel was torpedoed just off Cristo bal, Panama After passengers ant crew had taken to the lifeboats the sub commander cruised up |, one boat and said to the ship
