ton, and she does not forget prayer.
Every morning before seven she
walks to church for 20 minutes of an
earnest service, and when she walks
home to start breakfast her face is
always bright.
But perhaps the finest thing about
Mary Gates is her mental, moral
and spiritual attitude. Her only
brother is out on the great north
Atlantic on destroyer; Mary knows
in her heart what the news from
Don may be at any moment. But
she faces whatever may come with
complete fortitude.
She will do what she can, in the
years ahead, every day and every
hour; she will pray and work and
plan over each new duty, each
change as it arrives, and no one
will ever hear her complaining Of
the world that is at war, or vainly
wishing that things could go back
to what they were.
Things won't 60 back. They'll
never quite 60 back. But perhaps
we'll all be simpler and kinder, less
exacting, less rapacious, when this
tragedy is over. Perhaps the sacri-
fees, Inequalities and generosities
of war will be extended to days of
peace, and nobody will have ten
times too much of the necessities Of
life, and nobody will have only one
tenth enough. -sr,
Lift Your Hearts.
So lift your hearts, and get into
the side Of this fight that does not
involve hate or revenge or ugliness
Of any kind, but just loving and
serving. The situation is not of our
choosing; the decisions have been
made for us, and in that very fact
there lies certain sorrowful salts
faction, a certain conviction that no
matter how difficult our path may
be, at least it has been made plain.
Many years ago I found some
lines of an old hymn. I've thought
of them often in the last few weeks.
Here they are, perhaps imperfectly
quoted, but the spirit is there:
When you come to the Red Sea
place in your life,
When there's nothing else you can
do,
There is no way back, there is no
way round,
There is no other way but through.
Then trust in the Lord with faith
supreme,
Till the dark and the night are
gone,
He will still the waves; He viii
calm the storm
When He says to your soul. go
on"
There is no other way for us now
but THROUGH. And we will get
through.

DOING THEIR SHARE
Mary Gates might be someon

Mary Gates might be someone
you knoU. She might be one OF
your friends or neighbors. She
might, in fact, be you yourself.
She is a typical American moth
er, poorer than some, richer than
many. With three children to
take care Of, neither she nor her
husband has much money to
spend on entertainment or Iuxu-
ries. But they manage to buy de-
tense stamps-not just once in
,vhiIe, t0hen they think OF it,
but every soeek. Mary knits, and
her little girls are also learning
to knit. Her stepson wants to
join the Marines. Simple, aver
age, everyday Americans. they do
their share to help our country
,uin the victory which may, at
long last, mean permanent
peace.

"HE American woman is
going to come of age in the
\ next few years. She is 60
ing to put aside the grabbing,
boasting, playing, unthinking
ways of a child, and develop her
own consciousness and her own
soul.
She is going to waste less
food; buy fewer things that
she doesn't want; stop throw
ing aside perfectly good gar
ments for newer garments;
stop flocking to poor shows that
she doesn't care much about seeing
anyway.
She is going to learn the value of
the things she has always taken for
granted; things she has felt that ev-
eryone has and she must have as a
matter of course. Money is going to
look quite different to her in the
next few years, and such common
places as a good dinner, safe
home, freight and books and friend
ly faces, suddenly are going to ap-
pear to be the miracles they are.
All One Now.
And since immigration has stopped
shert, and may not begin again for
a decade, we're gradually going to
unity ourselves into strong, ma
tionally leveled people. Not Irish
American any more, not Italian
American, not belonging any more
to the varied lands that gave our
forefathers birth, but all one now,
devoted solely to our own country,
and the immortal principles that
have made her what she is.
We will not buy it cheaply, the
world-peace that must come out OF
all this. There will be no nation in
the world that will not be bled white
before it arrives. But when it does
arrive, if it finds us understanding
ourselves and our neighbor and our
social obligations better, it will not
have been in vain.
This is the story of Mary Gates.
I know there are many women like
her, but she happens to be the ex-
ample that has come to my personal
knowledge and I want the women
who would love to do something
but don't know how to get at it," to
hear about her.
Mary is "a, the wife of man
whose income is $1,000 year. She
has daughters and 10 years old,
and a stepson who has just volun-
teered for service in the marines.
To begin with Mary saves two dol
lars a week, and takes two more
out of the paycheck each month, to
buy government stamps. She puts
these in her daughters names. She
made a house-to-house canvass of
her entire neighborhood--a rather
humble one-to pick up games and
packs of cards for the boys club in
the nearest camp. She had printed
at her own expense list Of things,
often thrown away in the household,
that would be acceptable gifts for
soldiers. At Christmas time she had
six soldiers to dinner, and small
present for each was on her tree.
Mary knits helmets steadily; she
has knitted more than a hundred
altogether. The yarn is given her,
but she does the knitting.
Children Help.
The small girls knit, too; they are
knitting those all-service garments
that reputedly are most popular of
all in any cold-weather camp. These
are first simply oblongs Of knitting
about "A by % inches. They are
sewed into tubes, to be pulled up
into the armpits to protect the en-
tire body from cold, or to be drawn
over the head to keep throat, chest
and shoulders warm.

making his first public appearance
since winning a handicap at the
United Hunts last November, de-
feated a dozen other 3-year-olds IN

Mrs. E. Mulrenan's First Fiddle,

Bright Willie earned purse money
Of S4,95O and returned $1,000 for 81.
AS has been the case since the
meeting opened four days back, the
attendance topped the same day a
year ago. Today's count was II 676,
compared to 9,537 in l941.
While the field was lined up in the
gate, an advertising streamer which
had become unattached from an
airplane overhead dropped about 20
yards in front of the starting point
It was fortunate this did not happen
at the same time the horses left

son Of Blenheim I'd could break the
record this year.
Many Chances for Record.
Mahany prepared today a table
showing that there were 81 races
from April through November in
which Whirly could compete for an
aggregate of 100000 in stakes,
ranging from $500 to $50, 900, with
the majority around 10000.
Calumet doesn't plan to start the
194l 3-year-old champion and triple
crown winner in more than about

Mahany said Whirlaway's chief
threat to the record appears to be
in Challedon. which has won ap-
proximately $325 900.
Calumet hopes its star can run his
earnings NOV S349 ,66D to a half
