 Physically, Gen. McNair is short. His ash-blond hair (which accounts for his West Point nickname: Wli- they) is thinning and turning white. He wears it brushed straight back. His eyes are clear pastel blue. He speaks in voice uncommonly soft for an artillery officer who has made himself heard over the roar of cannon.

When he speaks that mind, he talks directly, as he recently did at the graduation of officers at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School: "In these strenuous, show-me days if you can deliv- CT, you need no diploma; if you cannot deliver, the diploma will not save you There are so many things to be done and time is pres sing warningly. You may do the wrong thing. But do something"
 DO something."' That's the Me- Nair credo. Little of what Gen. McNair himself has done has been "the wrong thing" It was more than an act of friendship when Chief of Staff Gen. Marshall called his old friend Lesley McNair: "the brains of the U. s. Army"

 washington, March 25 Recently group of junior officers was gath cred in a lecture room in the old Army War College waiting for It. Gen. Lesley Joseph McNair to ad- dress them. One of them offered e bet: "There are two ways that Gen. McNair can mount the platform. He can walk up the stairs at the side: or he can jump directly onto the stage. I'll bet he jumps. Who'll take it2"
 There were no takers.
 Every one who has ever seen Gen. McNair in action knows that he never wastes time getting to the point. And no one knows better than Gen. McNair himself that there Is no time to waste today. As commander of all ground forces within the continental United States under the recent army reorganiza- ton, Gen. McNair is responsible for the entire training of the huge, growing U. s. Army.
 If he had his way, he would prob- ably try to train each and every re- cruit himself. Doing things himself is the keynote of his military career. His service record is spotted with dividends on this policy. He was brigadier general at 35-second youngest general in the American army in the last year. Before his present job he was Chief of Staff, c. H. @.
 BEATS AROUND
 NO BUSHES
 Observers of his work, in the field or in his office, are continuously amazed at the amount he can ac- complish. As boss of the two large maneuvers last fall, he often steam ed over the "battlefields" on foot (wearing enlisted mems tough shoes). He preferred "jeep" to his staff car, because it could take him to out-of-the-way places.
 He works just the same way be- hind a desk. It often surprises a visitor to come upon the general pecking away at his typewriter. But experience has taught Gen. McNair that 1t is often quicker to hunt and peck than to dictate and wait for the results. His memos are famous throughout the army for their time saving brevity: What think?" Rec ommend?" Speak of" q. e., Speak about this matter next time you see me.'D
 To "do 1t himself" Gen. McNair puts in a 16-hour day, seven days a week. Before the war he used to find time to play golf and ride. Both he and Mrs. McNair are fond of dancing and made that the basis of their infrequent social occasions. But now there is no time for either so- cial or family life.
 You could set your clock by the opening of the door of the com- mandant's red brick house at the War College every morning, when, briefcase under his arm, Gen. Me- Nair bounds down the cannon flanked steps and heads for his of- flee at a. m.

THE CLOUDS

I find myself a-looldng At the clouds all round us and above, They move gently and silently Reminding us that God Is love- They go in various ways While floating here and there, Redecting those little particles Very high up in the air. They are of so many colors, Green, orange red and blue; Pink and white and black and tan, Any kind that peases you. Sometimes they're moving very swiftly, And again so very slow, Sometimes they bring shower, Whichever way they chance to go Frequently an electric shower Might come with all the rain, Which might strike at any hour, And hit the same old place again. very little cloud might cause thunder shower Some very warm and sunny day, Or in the darkness of the night, And wash those precious plants awayI But all the clouds have silver Inings If we look at them aright In clear and sunny day

Sugar Shortage
Held Unlikely

NEW YORK, Jan. 17-War in
the Pacific has caused consider
able uncertainty regarding the
outlook for new sugar supplies in
this country in 1912. II shipments
from the Philippines and Hawaii,
normally about 1000 900 tons
each. were entirely cut off. total
supplies would probably amount
TO around 500 900 tons. COM
pared with 6666 $50 estimated as
needed by the department Of
agriculture.
However, even II the entire
Philippine crop is unavailable. II
is considered possible that a good
part of the Hawaiian crop can be
shipped here. Moreover, in addi-
ton 10 the visible supplies of
about 100000 tons in trade
hands az the beginning of No
vember, large invisible stocks also
were built up in the past year.
Thus. real shortage of sugar is
considered unlikely.
At most tight supply situa-
ton is visualized, with dislocations
occurring in some sections Of the
country because Of distribution
problems.
