NON-DEFENSE SPENDING
AND PER CAPITA INCOME

IN 1885 the per capita income
the income for each man, woman
and child in America-was $465. For
a family of five it meant an average
of $2,325.
In 1941, our per capita income
had increased to 1922, or $3,l10 for
a family of five.
In 1885 the federal governments
non-defense expenditures amounted
to $6,252, 100000 In 1941, the fed
eral government non-defense ex-
penditures were $6,593 ZOO, 900, an
increase of $341 200, 900 in the cost
of civil operations of the govern
ment.
Our heaviest item of expense has
been relief of one form or another,
and it would seem that as individual
incomes go up, as more people have
jobs, the cost of civil expenditures
of the government should go down.
The figures do not show it the way
the heavily taxed people of the ma
ton have reason to expect. It might
be well to find out how each candi-
date for either the house or senate
stands on the subject of economies
in the civil operations of the national
government.

NEW EFFECTIVE HAY FEVER
RELIEF

Hay fever, which annually
causes more SneeZeS, more IN
famed noses and more red,
streaming eyes than any other
scourge, may have its final big
fling this September, all because
aPennsylvania electrical engineer
was served a dish of corn meal
mush whichwas entirely too salty;
The engineer, sneeZing, and
with all other hay fever mani
festations, stopped at a hotel
where he was served a dish OF
mush which he considered send
ing back as it was much too salty.
Finally he ate it, however; the
hay fever attack lessened, ul-
timately ceased. Next day he had
three meals, all oversalted, and
experienced his most comfortable
time in years in the ebay fever
season."
His analytical mind quickly
grasped the possibility that the
saline substance in his food was
responsible for his relief.
About this time, DR.. E. E. Sell
leck, graduate of Columbia Uni
versity, met the engineer, made
notes, and when he returned to
his home, began experiments. To-
day DR.. Selleck declares he has
found certain means of relief
for hay fever and is supported in
his contention by other medical
experts, and a nationally known
chemical manufacturing concern,
the Hollipgs-Smith Company, at
Orangeburg, New York, has TAX
en- over making the remedy, which
is called Nakamo Bell.
Describing the experiments,
DR.. Selleck said, CATER 1 was
sure l had found a means of
quickly relieving hay fever
through the chloride group, I
tested it in the most practical
way knew. I held a three day
clinic, to which many hay fever
sufferers responded, from ages
ranging from 10 to go years. Each
person was given two tablets with
a little water. Some relief came
to all within ten minutes. Reports
on these cases during the ensu-
ing weeks showed practically a
complete cessation ofsymptoms. I"

SPIRIT OF u. S. YOUTH
ON BATTLE FRONTS

SPIRIT OF U. >. YOUTH
ON BATTLE FRONTS
SAW A RECENT LETTER from a
soldier boy with whom I became
acquainted while his outfit was sta
toned in the town in which / live.
That letter could not, and did not
say where his outfit is now stationed,
but from other sources know where
it is, and it is not pretty or a
hospitable spot. 1t is not in battle
zone but it is on a bleak, desolate
shore that civilization has touched
but slightly. Aside from such army
outfits as may be stationed there,
the place or section has but few
people and but limited number of
crude dwellings. In fact, under nor
NAL conditions the place where that
outfit is stationed would be consid-
cred by most of us as small bit of
hell, with the fires out.
But that letter did not voice the
slightest intimation of complaint.
Being there was but part of the
job this soldier and his buddies had
undertaken to do. Being there was
but another step in the high adven-
ture he was seeking. What each
day might bring was all part of
that adventure and he and his bud
dies were taking it as it came.
That young soldier typifies the
men of our armed forces. They are
out to do a job and accept what
ever their lot may be without muir
mur of discomfort. That is true of
those on the hot sands of the Sahara,
in the steaming jungles of the trop-
ical South seas, among the noun
tains and rice paddles of China, on
the steppes of Russia, on the islands
of the north Pacific and the Atlantic,
and in the training camps of the
homeland and in Europe.
They are enjoying each days ex-
perience, wherever it may be or
whatever it may bring to them.
We do not need to grieve for the
men of our armed forces so much
as for ourselves because of our sep
aration from those we love. The
*ones to really feel sorry for are those
of military age and physical ability
who do not go. They will have a
lifetime throughout which to feel
alone.

STUDENTS CAN CONTRIBUTE
TO 'ALL-OUT' WAR

IN AN "ALL-OUT" WAR, such as
we are now engaged in, each must
contribute all that his physical abil-
ity will permit. That includes the
youth of America, for the protection
of whose future this war is being
waged. They will reap the greatest
benefits of victory. In number of
states, students from the high
schools aided materially in harvest
ing the summer crops. In Califor-
mia, they picked the summer citrus
fruits and vegetables. In other
states they helped in the grain har-
vesting.
The California raisin grape grow
ers asked for the return of the Japs
from internment camps to pick the
grape crop in September, to which
request the army returned an en-
phatic "no." BY delaying the open
ing of the high schools and junior
colleges for a month, the students
could pick the grapes of California,
and by suspension of such schools
for two to three weeks at the proper
periods, students in other states
could help with the corn and late
fruit harvests.
To win the war, to save Americas
crops needed in winning the war, is
more important than two or three
weeks of schooling that can be made
up through the winter. That can
be the high school students contribu-
tion in our "all-out" war.

enactment of 40-mile speed limit

CONGRESS should and could

is necessary. That would mean a

these two deaths would seem to be
for the purpose of covering up
MitchelPs murder. Then, the crux
of the whole business is why Mitch
was killed. Was it really personal
grudge, or was it something deep

away voice.
"Well, Mitch was no fool, yet at
the rate the work was going here,
the coming rainy season would have
flooded the who valley again. The
railroad and all the planting done
this year would have been washed
out!"
"Jeff, what are you driving at?"
"Just this. You've read my con-
tract. Pretty stiff one. I'm abso-
lutte boss in my department-practi-
CALYPSO long as I follow the plans
laid down. Well, if Mitchell had a
contract like mine, and we can as
sumo he did have, and if he was
deliberately slowing up the work,
then his death was very convenient
for Montaya."
Sabotage! You're advancing that
as the reason? You think Montaya
had him killed."
81 don't say that, honey" Curt an
swered doggedly. ''It simply seems
a possible answer"
"Well," Lee replied slowly, 81
know you don't like Senor Montaya
I don't, either. But that's simply
personal taste on our part. We have nc
reason to dislike him. Or have we?'
"No."
"It's an ironclad contract yor
have, sure-for Montaya. There:
an escape clause which would let
him cancel the contract if yol
should turn out incompetent or un
satisfactory. Surely he could have
got rid of Mitchell in case O

Sabotage is difficult to prove
sometimes!" Curt exclaimed. ''Fol

too slender for the job. They KEEP
breaking. Every break slowed VI
the work a little more. There ar
many ways he could, or I could
slow up the work without enabling
Montaya to invoke that clause yo1
mention.
"That clause isn't as elastic a
you think. A court, in an ensuing
breach of contract case against tn
company had Mitchell been let out
might have obliged Montaya to pa.
heavy damages. Not only for re
mainder of salary under contract
but punitive damages for injury t

"I see what you mean," Lee sal
slowly. "But no, JEFF, I can't Sc

pointed out. "The other two wer
