PRICE FREEZING

hos been announced in Washington,
is q chilling procedure but vide and
ready acceptance Of it will both express
the Nations cold determination to win
and lend warmth to the fires OF Amer-
cos war effort.
1t is impossible to fight war With
out hardship. The object in war econ
omv should be to distribute burdens as
equally as possible and uvoid unneces-
sory distress. To this end the whole
fight against initiation or O rise in the
cost Of living is SOLITARY.
Price ceilings constitute only one
front in this campaign. Action on other
necessary fronts, such os the control OF
woqe costs and the taxing off Of excess
purchasing power, must accompany
price freezing in order TO justify and
support it.
In an order SO vast as that which
hos been undertaken by the Office Of
Price Administration, it is inevitable
that some inequities will appear and
many individuals be pinched 1t is not
enough to soy these sacrifices must be
made for the general good. Port Of the
price-freezing plan is provision for
review and adjustment Of hardship
cases.
The March basis ought 70 be taken
as primo focie Of what prices should
be rather than as an absolute critic
rion. Where good reason can be
shown for variation, adjustments
should be allowed Retailers, for ex-
ample, have q claim for some latitude
in the argument that the goods they
we're selling in March we're priced on
earlier and cheaper wholesale pur-
choses whereas wholesale quotations
prevailing in March had risen to q level
calling for higher retail prices.
If whole sale and retail prices ore
to be kept from rising it must be OBJ
vious that farm prices and woge costs
which enter into these consumer prices
must oIso remain static President
Roosevelt at length hos put this re-
quirerent bluntIy in his request to
Congress to rescind the no per cent
Ieewoy on farm prices and in his saying
in Tuesday nights radio address:
Do you work for wages? You will
have to forgo higher wages for your
particular job for the duration of the
war
his statement ought to have all
the force Of an executive order, like
thot which fixes the price ceilings. One
apparent weakness Of the Presidents
ontl-infIotion program was the OBJ
sence Of specific limit on wages. Az
ero9e earnings Of woge workers have
materially outstrpped the increase in
the cost Of living thus for. If price CELL
inss ore to have validity, labor must

Furthermore, in order to give the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAMPTON, Va, Jan. 27.-It's mid
year exam week here at Hampton
Institute, but the students will not
be faced with the usual questions.
Rather, the entire student body and
teaching staff will devote the week
to intense study in more than Is
civilian defense subjects, as part Of
one Of the most exter sive wartime
college programs inaugurated since
the Axis attacked the United States.
All normal educational activities
will be at a standstill at Hampton
Institute during Civilian Defense
Week." which started yesterday and
is to end Saturday with a demon
stration of the results Of the war
protection training period.
Between yesterday and Saturday.
students and staff at the college will
have gone through concentrated
courses of instruction in such fields
as first aid, AFRAID precautions,
blackouts, decentralization, nutri-
tion, recreation, home nursing,
chemical warfare, and demolition
and clearance.
Saturday to Show Results.
BY Saturday it is hoped that the
demonstration will include as par
ticipants girls running farm trac-
tors and trucks and working at
lathes and drills. showing that they
can relieve men at many home
front" duties. Others will handle
incendiary bombs, and members Of
the classes in first aid, fire watching,
volunteer nursing and others of the
80 instruction courses to be offered,
will demonstrate the accomplish
ments that can result from q week
Of intensive drill.
All members Of the student body
and teaching stafi will participate
In the Civilian Defense Week" pro-
gram, taking either one morning
and one afternoon course or one Of
the courses which occupy an entire
day through the week.
It IS the hope of Hampton In
stitute authorities that those COM
pleting the civilian defense program
this week will be well enough trained
that they can, as new extracurric-
ular activity. carry defense instruc-
ton to the thousands Of civilians in
the 16 counties Of the Hampton
Roads defense area.
The Institutes Civilian Defense
Week" program is only one phase
of the schools "all-out" war effort.
The day after war was declared,
officials of the college told the Once
of Production Management that the
students and staff of the trades and
industries division were prepared to
extend defense training or produc-
ton, or both, to the limit Of their
capacity.
Soldiers Receive instruction.
As a result a considerable training
program Is under way. One hun
dred soldiers from Army camps
throughout the Nation are now
taking an advanced course In service
and maintenance Of Army cars and
trucks, which already has been COM
pleted by $50 more soldiers.
More than 300 shipyard workers
from Norfolk, Portsmouth and New

of the
Moment

With bicycling coming back into
vogue, a girl has to be careful how
she handles her bicycling manners.
If she is beginner at the art of
pedaling a wheel, her tendency will
be to get the most faithful of her
boy friends to teach her all about it
This can be very cute come-on, II
she doesn't go too far with it. She
can tell him what a wonderful
cyclist he is. and how she envies
him, and how much she'd like to
learn. And he'll offer to put in a
solid afternoon teaching her during
some week end or holiday.
So it's a date.
But that's where a girls manners
come in. After she gets on the
bicycle and her boy friend has
started to push her around the cam
pus or the block, then she must
watch lest his breath come short or
his ardor wane.
It's very nice being instructor and
pusher- -arounder, to girl you think
. beautiful, for little while. Blu.
even the most devoted man grows
weary after a few spills and few
breath-taking laps around the green
sward.
So end the lesson early, my girl. if
you would keep the lad interested
You can have the next episode the
