Can gratitude stand forth to be

Wartime Recreation

During the next few months the
American people are certain to be
subjected to experiences which will
try their powers of survival to the
limit. Winter is coming, and there
are reasons for believing that it will
be a cruel season. The demands of
the Nation for the services of men
and women will increase from day to
day until almost every individual
has been drawn into the effort to
achieve conclusive victory. Lux
uries are bound to disappear. Many
necessities must be rationed with
little regard to peacetime standards
OF what is sufficient. Conditions of
life will grow more and more stern
as the impact Of the prevailing ordeal
presses harder and harder upon the
entire population. Money will be less
plentiful and taxes more exacting.
The news received from the fighting
fronts may be discouraging.
1t follows that the strain upon the
health of the national community
will be terrific. The Institute of Life
Insurance has anticipated the crisis
by preparing for distribution poster
declaring: Gust by keeping we'll you
can help win this war" In the sup
Elementary text Of the placard five
practical suggestions for the main
tenance of physical and spiritual
well-being are set forth. The last
and perhaps most important of these
Is: play some each day. Romp with
the family, visit with friends. take
walks, play games-or do whatever
you like to give your mind and body
a rest from the daily grind on the
job"
OF course, the Importance of rec
reation has been stressed on previous
occasions. st. Francis de Sales, as
early as 1909, commended "those
games such as tennis ball, pail
mall, running at the ring, chess and
backgammon" as "in themselves good
and lawful" Even DR.. Samuel john
son, rigid critic of pleasure gener-
ally, was persuaded to say: IT am
sorry have not learned to play at
cards. 1t is very useful in life; it
generates kindness and consolidates
society" George Washington during
the Revolution attended wrestling
bouts and foot races, and Abraham
Lincoln in the darkest hours of the
great contest of 1861 1866 found relief
in telling jokes. Woodrow Wilson's
confessed addiction to detective
stories Is well-remembered, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt has let 1t be
known that he has not lost enthusi-
asm for his stamp collection.
A pamphlet recently published by
the National Recreational Association
provides guidance which should be of
inestimable value to groups interested
IN the whole problem of morale. It
contains specific directions for many
different activities, but still more
constructively indicates number of
particular sources Of help In the
development Of programs.

Machine Tools

The announcement that machine
tool production in 1912 will be the
equivalent of normal production over
a ten-year period is welcome news.
In modern war the machine tool
industry is the fountain head of
power. And it has been brought to
a high degree of perfection. The
tools now being turned out in great
numbers are marvels of engineering
skill and precision. In the First
World War parts for planes and tanks
and guns, almost literally, had to be
made for particular plane, tank or
gun. This resulted, of course, in an
appalling loss of time and in the fire.

And Cold Houses.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Eoltor OF The Star:
In Tuesdays Star householders were
urged to cut down heat What are the
Government departments going to do
about it? That is where the trouble
begins. One has to wear summer clothes
to be comfortable when working all day
In an 80-degree temperature, and then,
when one gets home to 7O-degree tenn
perature, 1t seems freezing. So the house
temperature has to go up.
Instead of telling us to lower the ther-
mostat 10 degrees, think 1t would be
better to tell us at what temperature To
set the thermostat. I keep my house as
near 10 as I can, when occupied, 65
when not, and go at night. ! have to
have sweaters, etc. handy to put on my
friends, when they come, to keep them
from freezing. Let the departments and
public buildings set the example of hav-
ing less heat, and the householder would
soon follow. Then there will be fewer
colds and better health.

OF Youthful Vandals.

Continue Discussion
OF Youthful vandals.
To the Editor of The Star:
Once again an apple has started it all
From all indications a saint has been
unearthed!
Did the juvenile Stirling Wilson
never rob an orchard, never learn to
smoke around the old swimming hole,
never steal ride on the rear end OF
a truck, never tell story" or try to
scare any one with jack-o-lantern on
Halloween, much less upset a garbage
can or other property on that night, each
year?
AS a grown-up boy, I now have an
apple orchard of my own, but have never
taken the trouble to count the apples,
so am unprepared to say II one or
two are missing. I can only hope that if
they were taken, they were not green
enough to give the culprit a stomach
ache. K T. PENNEBAKER.
To the Editor of The Star:
May l add my protest to that of others
concerning the unlawful acts of young
vandals robbing home grounds of rip
ened and unripened fruit which the
owners have waited for four or five
years to obtain from trees planted and
tended by themselves?
Just this past summer every red plum
was taken from our tree. The summer
before many unripe pears were taken
and we caught the culprit red-handed
Two nights ago all the peaches were
stripped from the tree with but three
remaining. We still have late pears
which we expect to be missing some
fall morning.
Apples were taken from our tree in
broad daylight.
This year especially in view of the
urgent need of buying defense bonds
and the upward trend of taxes, we
wanted that fruit to preserve for the
winter larder, only to "be left mourning"
One wonders what the parents of
these children can be doing, or think
ing, when these youthful law-breakers
are out SO late at night with complete
liberty to follow their own sweet will
Do not these parents realize they are
laying up future sorrow and trouble
for themselves, as parents? Such iuve-
nile stealing does not always stop at
that point. A young man in his late
twenties, recently convicted of high
way robbery with a 20-year term said
his thieving began with robbing orchards
of fruit.
l thoroughly agree with Stirling Will
son in Tuesdays Star that such law
lessness should be dealt with.

feats, and that at their very doorsteps,
remains to be SEEN When we bombed
Toxic and other of their cities, the Japs,
both those in command and the garden
variety, were, we were informed, in a
state of near panic. What was just an
episode seemingly had a more pro-
found effect on the alleged fearless Japs
than succession of real defeats in the
far-off Coral Sea, Midway and the
Solomons.
That possibly may give the answer to
where and how to hit our foe, Give him
repeated doses of the same bitter medi-
cine Britain daily ladies out to key Ger
man cities and you will hear the al
legged fanatical Jap squeal loud and long
and eventually he may be brought to
his knees.
Repeated statements that 1t will be
necessary to kill all Japs to secure final
victory may hurt more than help our war
effort. II the war continues for years
along present lines, with naturally
heavy losses to us as well as the enemy,
there will be found among us many who,
as in the First World War, will argue ::
Why continue an almost hopeless strug-
gle? Why not negotiated peace? II
we yield, our foe after short breathing
spell will be able to continue his effort
to dominate all of China, Burma, East
ern Russia, the islands of the Pacific,
including, too, our Hawaiian Islands, thus
making good her boast of the Pacific as
her mare nostrum.

Says Japs May Crack
Under Pressure,

To the Editor of The Star:
The recently published statement of
Ambassador Grew on our Japanese
headache may have other than the ef-
feet intended. No doubt his purpose
was to steel Americans to all-out war
effort, but it has within it the seeds Of
defeatism.
His statement that the Japs are IA
natical, that they will fight to the last
man, that only like efforts on our part
will insure their defeat, may be but
partly true. We don't know what the
Japs, warriors and those at home, can
stand until put to the test
Thus far they have had In the war

broken series of victories. and not minor

Inland waterways advocates for
years have urged the merits OF the

pal objection raised has been the cost
of removing number of fixed
bridges over the Sanitary Canal IN
the Chicago area, through which
traffic moves to the Illinois and Mis-
