New Lines OF Goods

Once upon time drug stores were what
their name indicates. They sold drugs and
compounded prescriptions. But this business
alone was too limited to give druggists fair
living, so they began to add one line of mer-
chandise after another, until they now can
offer the customer just about anything he
might want except, perhaps, a grunt for a
pig, and it is not certain that any customer
ever would want that. Drugs and prescrip-
tons are now but items in the revenues of
druggists, not the sole source thereof
The reason for citing this expansion of the
drug business is to forecast that before long
service stations will be following the same
general course. With gasoline scarce nd
growing scarcer, and with tire sales elimi-
mated, the operators Of service stations will
be adding one line of goods after another to
their stock in trade or be forced to close
up. They can't hope to make living out of
their sales of gasoline and Oil alone
And it may be expected that as there has
been no official announcement of shortages
in the customary implements of athletes and
recreation addicts, the lines they turn to first
will be sporting goods. This is not prophecy,
but guess. Later its accuracy or refutation
will be observable at the gas stations.

Strengthen Channel Defenses

The Nazis do not seem to agree with some
war analysts in their belief that the United
Nations will not soon invade Europe from
the channel coast. They are said to have
put thousands Of laborers at work there build
ing gun emplacements and strengthening the
defenses already existing.
There is lesson in this, to wit, that Ger
man military strategy includes provision
against attack as well as irnplementation for
offense. The Nazi high command has no in
tention Of being caught mapping, if it is within
their means to prevent it,
With such preparations to resist invasion
by way of the French coast under way and
because the new program being drafted for
the part Of France which is ruled by Vichy-
Paris-Berlin collaborators is absorbing con-
centrated attention, it becomes more apparent
than ever that Italy offers good invasion
point, provided, of course, the British are
able to knock out General Ronrnel in Libya
first.

Volunteer Now

Induction Of women into naval service, fol
lowing so quickly upon the heels of a similar
proposal for the Army, although still to be
instituted, shows, we are sure, that the ma
tons war effort will require the services of
every man and woman of the country if the
conflict is long drawn out
Industry has already trained a great army
Of women for exacting work in which their
deftness is major asset. Business houses
are continually replacing men employees call
ed into the armed ranks with girls and women
and finding, too that they do good job.
The sailorettes, as contemplated by the
Navy would replace men already in service
but doing clerical and land base work and
so release them for sea duty. This parallels
the purpose OF the Army in the creation of a
women's corps.
Conditions are such that no person in nor
NAL health can expect to be spared from
some duty connected with the war T h S
ought to be universally recognized. There can
be no drawing back, no holding out, unless
the people who seek to evade service are
willing to lose every right and privilege con-
ferred upon them by democratic government
If it is found that volunteer workers in any
branch of war service are not sufficient to
meet the need, there is no reason to doubt
that special draft will be conducted to fill
the gaps.
This being So Americans not now enrolled
for war duty would do themselves a real
kindness and their country valuable service
by volunteering at once for the work they
are best fitted to do. Wilmington has set up
a special enrolment center for civilian reg
istration in the Trust building, Front d
Market streets, and the Defense Council is
engaged in an intensive campaign to enlist
enough volunteers to complete the personnel
in the various enterprises started for COM
munity protection.
If you, individually, are not already doing
your share it is your duty to visit this reg
istration office and enlist for the duration.
There is job waiting for you
1t would be to your shame to let the women
who will form the special Army corps and the
Navy's special unit to outdo you in service.

WASHINGTON, Apr 10 Notes from a
Capital Cuff: It's been some time since the
governments tax planners dished out any,
thing very palatable. but two recent recon-
mendations to Congress will be right tasty
to a flock of income taxpayers.
One proposal by the treasury is to allow
the deduction from income of large medical
bills (between $500 and s2.500). The other is
that boys and girls in college be considered
dependents until they reach their 21st birth
days.
major operation, or prolonged illness. can
consume a huge chunk of the income of
relatively small wage Garner but under the
present law doctors bills are not deductible.
Likewise many taxpayers long have complain
ed about the provision of the law which re-
stricts dependent children to those under 18
years of age.
There are thousands of taxpayers who can
produce convincing evidence that sons and
daughters, who go to college come much
heavier financial burden on their parents.
Indications are that Congress is more likely
to approve the doctors bills deduction than to
extend the age of childhood dependency.
1t seems that the stork, by working over
time, is adding to the complexity of Wash.
ngtons housing problem. Since Pearl Har-
Dor there has been an increase of Is per
cent in the number of births in the District
of Columbia as compared with the correspond
ing period year ago.
There are a number of federal workers here
who wouldn't make very good showing in
neighborhood popularity contest. They are
the fellows who ride to work alone in a COM
modious motor car and nevre deign to pick
up fellow townsman who is footing it a
considerable distance to a bus line.
And some of these ride-sharing slackers
think they are deserving of tire priority rating.

Because Petain has lost his grip and can
fight no more, Laval comes into power, just
as Hitler did in Germany, but with the diff
ference that, whereas Hitler was the actual
leader, Laval is but Hitler's tool.
Otherwise the parallel is complete. History
