LEW men In the world today

long q period as Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain, chief Of state Of
France.
The stamp above, issued by
Algeria in l94l, bears q portrait
Of Petain, who will become So
years old In April, 1912. Sixty
six of those years have been spent
in the service of France, either in
the army or In administrative
posts.
Petain was born April "a, 1856,
the son of a wealthy farm fam
lily in the lowlands of Flanders.
He attended public schools and St.
Cyr. the French West Point, from
which he was graduated In 1873
as a second lieutenant.
He Is credited with stopping
the Germans at Verdun and Is
known to all Frenchmen as the
hero Of Verdun." When he took

French forces in 1917 he Quoted
q revolt that had been brewing
in the ranks and threatened dis
organization Of the French army.

A storm as frightful as any
she ever described in her
Nobel Prize winning novels is
certain to rage over Sigrid
Undsets Return to the Future"
(Knopf: $3.50, the story of this
great woman's escape from Nor
way, her roundabout journey to
America and her views on what,
If anything, will ever restore
health to the sickest continent
on the globe.
Her bitter view of Germans
and Germany is natural after
the rape of her peaceful, live
and-let-live Norway, and from
it springs the universal ques-
ton: What will we do with
Germany? Mass murder such as
Nazis dealt to Poles, Czechs,
Jews and others is too abhorent
to the civilized. But are we
dealing with a civilized nation?
Madame Undset thinks not.
1.-THE work Of rebuilding a
society of free nations and free
human beings will unde-
niably be obstructed because
the German people under Hit
ler's leadership have managed
to create a white-hot hatred of
Germany, of all things German
in all the countries and peo-
Piles outside Germany. {.
How in Gods name will it be
possible to neutralize that hate
which consumes all the victims
of Germany's lying and un-
faithfulness, German sadism,
German righteousness an d
greed?"
The reader had best find for
himself her solution, for, al
though not new SO far as in
dividuals are concerned, 1t Is
revolutionary as applied to an
entire nation. 1t Is extremely
doubtful that Madame Undsets
suggestion will be adopted, but
IL is possible becau1e her coun-
try and others have seen day
after day the Nazis "enact
crimes which we literally had
ceased to believe any human
being could make himself gull
ty Of"
Except for the last chapter,
based on the possible shape OF
things to come. the book
reads like a novel. but a bet
ter than average one, on the
flight of mother from the
Nazis through Norway. Sweden,
Russia and Japan to America.

HOME ECONOMICS IN
WAR TIME

"Home economics" used to be
course thot few women took in high
school or college, Today, with half OF
our national income about to be de-
voted to the needs of war, home eco
Monies must pIoy role in the life OF
every family in the land.
We ore just beginning to feel the
war pinch. Prices Of many articles have
gone up, and will undoubtedly go high
er still. Commodities that used to be
cheap and abundant, have grown
scarce or have disappeared entirely.
New and strict priority orders will make
it necessary for the consumer to go
without many articles which once we're
almost as common as air.
Home economics simply means
scientific planning for the household.
It means making each dollar do its full
duty in purchasing food, clothing,
household effects or anything else.
Today, in thousands of homes, it is the
housewives most difficult problem.
Fortunately, she has one excellent oily
to help solve that problem - the re-
toll stores of this country.
The choin stores have been por-
tieulorly octive in work to advise and
aid the consumer. Thousands Of other
stores have also cooperoted The re-
suit is that the retail store has become
something more than place where you
shop for what you need. 1t is also the
place where trained, informed men
will aid you in making necessary reod-
justments in your living
The stores are pledged to furnish
the public With supplies at the lowest
possible cost. They ore advising con-
surners on the use Of substitutes. They
are fighting boarding, speculation
and scare advertising. They are thus
performing services which come
straight home to every family in
America.
As q consumer, take advantage Of
what the stores are DOING Help them
in the compoien against waste and
high prices. Thot's the way to keep
our STANDARD Of living as high as pos
sible during the war.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10
The form placement section Of
the United Stotes Employment
Service Is tockIino the tough
job of seeing that there is
enough farm labor to plant
and cultivate and harvest the
1912 crops - the food and
meot and dairy and poultry
products that ore to win the
war.
This form labor recruiting
drive is important, for its just
as necessary that the farms

is to have those fighting forces
themselves. Conse quently,
when the nine million oddi-
tionol men register for selec-
tive service on Feb. Is, they

dred or more skills which will
be listed ore those Of the more
specialized agricultural trades
such as dairy farming, tractor
joekeyino, form machine op-
erotino.
Authorities on the farm To-
Dor situation don't foresee thot
farm labor will have to be
"drofted" to take off the crops
this year. There will be no re-
sort to Hitlevion toctics Of
forced mass mierotions - as
signing whole communities to
remote rural areas for con-
script agricultural labor. In
steod, on effort will be made
to see that local resources Of
monpower and woman power
and youth power are intelli-
gently morsholted for each
community's form job, and
that the mobile migrant To-
Dor force is also intelIioently
mobiIized and directed. Public
spirit and local patriotism ore
to be relied on to handle this
form labor problem for 1912.
Next year? Nobody is making
any predictions q b out how
things ore going to be in l943,
or who's going to be doing
