A Bit of Horse Sense

To hold the worst runaway horse
or mule, and to remedy hard-mouth,
have two light rings put on a straight
ordinary bride bit about one inch
in diameter, to which you fasten
two light chains eight-inches long, a
ring in the end of each to snap the
lines in. Cross the chains under the
horses chin and run through the
bride rings and snap your lines to
the ring in the chain. This pulls the
two rings on the bit together and no
horse will push very hard against it.

U. S. Shipbuilders Break
All Records to Break Axis

The United States is now
nearing the peak of produc-
ton in the greatest ship-build-
ing program in world history.
Not only have all previous
production records in this or
any other nations shipyards
been broken, but a shipbuild-
ing capacity far greater than
that of all the rest of the world
combined has been created.
1t now appears quite GER
tain that the 100000 dead
weight-ton goal set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for 1912 in the
directive he issued at the time
of his estate of the Nation"
address in January of this
year will be reached.
One of the outstanding ac-
complishments by American
shipbuilders in the past year
has been the reduction of
building time they have made,
particularly in the emergency
cargo vessels of the Liberty
ship type. These pictures
give you close-ups of our Lib

GLORY OF CRIPPLE CREEK
WILL LIVE IN u. S. HISTORY

AN ACQUAINTANCE of many
years, E. V. Jones, who died some
two years ago, was editor of the
first newspaper published at Cripple
Creek, Colo. 1t was a real pleasure
to listen to his tales of experiences
in that wild, and then practically
lawless, place. The early Cripple
Creek was a model for other west
ern mining towns, but no other ever
equaled it. Running newspaper
in such a town in its early days
was a hazardous occupation. Now
Cripple Creek is to become but an
other of the numerous western ghost
towns. A government edict has
closed its mines, as gold is not a
war necessity. The glory of the
Cripple Creek of old will live long
in the annals of the West.

Jazz ORCHESTRAS

Recently 1 listened for an hour
to an orchestra playing jazz music.
All of the players looked healthy
and physically capable of doing a
real mans job. In age they prob
ably ranged from 20 to 35. I won
dered if using such manpower on a
saxaphone and fiddle was more
important than gathering corn or
firing rifle. I will not believe we
are short of manpower for the

tories so long as jazz orchestras

German workers labor from IL to

much of our manpower problem by
a simple 48 hours each week.
Farmers of America work many
more than 48 hours per week, or
we and our allies would not eat.
It would be better to sacrifice some
of our so-called social gains than to
lose our freedom, for should Hitler
win, he would not recognize or coun-
tenance anything like a 48-hour

Lost His Shoes

Men at the Officers Candidate
school at Miami Beach, Fla, were
CHARTERED temporarily in a hotel
where dimout regulations were OBJ
served. At reveille they lined up in
the dimmed out area. The men
were told to report Immediately to
their own squadrons for breakfast.
One man hesitated-would he be
permitted to return to his room for
a moment? In the darkened room
he couldn't find his shoes. That's
why he reported in bare feet.

FREEDOM OF PRESS
VITAL IN DEMOCRACY

IN CALIFORNIA recently, Grove
Patterson, editor of the Toledo
(Ohio) Blade, delivered a remark
able address on Freedom of the
Press"
Justus Craemer, former presi-
dent of the National Editorial as
sociation, in a letter complimenting
Mr.. Patterson on that address, put
into a concise statement just what
a free press means to America. He
said:
Advertising, in profitable sense,
cannot exist in a totalitarian state
and free enterprise cannot exist
without advertising. ALI our free
dom, our enterprise, our civil and
religious liberties, stand or fall to-
gether.
The newspaper is particularly
the medium of expression for any
minority not in power, because the
newspaper is not under the control
of a bureaucratic government and
newspaper has the privilege of
taking sides in a political contro-
versy.

for the duration, and I get duller,
older, palmer every second!"
That's one letter. I answered
Anne briefly that my one sugges-
ton would be that she turn this dull
interval in her exciting and luxuri-
GUS existence into book.
An English Mothers Reaction.
Now here's the other letter. 1t
is written by woman in England;
Maude Smith is about Anne's age,
and has three small children;
Richie, Gwen and Stella. Richard
Senior is away in the service; she
has seen him once since January,
and that for a two-day visit only.
Maude Smith was in London during
the most furious raids, and has lost
an eye from an injury done by a
splinter of shrapnel. This splinter
was in her eye for almost a week
before it was removed. By that
time she was up near the Scottish
border with her mother, and so
thankful to get into hospital bed,
"and have my shoes off after week
on pavement without a chance to
take them off for moment!" she
wrote. "You can't think what it
meant to have my feet clean and
bare and stretched on a clean
smooth sheet, to be out of pain, and
to know that there was milk for
Stella and that they all were with
Mother!"
Getting Along Splendidly.'
That was the first letter. Later
she wrote me that she had feared
at that time she might lose the other
eye, too; (which would have been
quite pity, wouldn't it, she said
with the Riddles so small" How
ever, the right eye was saved, "anc
even the baby's quite used to the
black patch and crazy about hel
Mummy. So we're getting along
splendidly; I've made lots of jan
and the children have been wonder
full with vegetables. I've gathered
a few mothers and quite a flock O.
babies together, and we combine

school, and we've had the giving on
of the things in the wonderful bar

daughters coats for my girls, bu
they were sizes too small, and jus

began to sing. "Sh-h-h-h," eau

Whereupon Marie started to
scream: Take your hands off me!

desk and out into the hall to the

only tension Of any account Is pro-
vided by the Mollisons' flight

they crashed in . swamp, and by
Amy's curious (as depicted) disap-
pearance and death on q military

B The conversation, of which there
Is much, Is spiritless and without
particular point, but for q few short
speeches.
The role Of Mollison, incidentally
(played in. an absent manner by
capable Robert Newton), does not
reflect altogether favorably on that
record busters character. He is
seen as modest hero, but one given
to flinging the gay whirl with wine
and women, before, during and
after marriage. Inasmuch as Mr.
Mollison helped supervise this film
production, he is to be compn-
mented on his candor.

'Wings and the Woman" treats
the daring career Of the late Amy
johnson Mollison rs the decisive
factor In opening . masculine
worlds eyes to the possibilities of
women handling mems jobs. That
Miss johnson, by ignoring the stay
at = home tradition presumably
coached into women prior to 1880,
and becoming instead a breaker Of
long distance flying records, made
possible the surge of the members
of her sex into positions of Inn
portance today. With all respect
to the courageous Amy, the thesis
seems thin considering the ultimate
requirements of a war that is shak-
ing all previous standards of life.
Nevertheless, this British film
currently showing at the Metropoli-
tan pays deserved tribute to a
woman of amazing deeds. It does
so in a repetitious and mostly un-
exciting way, but it has at least
the benefit of purpose and of Anna
Neagle, who tries hard to give a
convincing portrayal of Amy john
son.
OF course, the main difnculty in
telling the story OF Amy lies in the

For a few months the Palace did
no business. Even the gang at
Hammersteins Corner five blocks
away said the Palace was too far
uptown. But on May 8 they booked
Sarah Bernhardt and it kinda put
the Palace on the map. She got
$1,000 a week and her contract
called for payments of 81 900 in gold
after every night show. Not bad
hunk of publicity. Her first act was
"A Christmas Night Under the Ter

man. She did most of her work in
a chair and when she did move
around she did so very carefully
(she had only one leg). She at
tracted different kind of an audi
