administrator said it would be good for
every home to have food for four days
on hand. A supply to last four days to
a week is not only allowable but advis-

Items like flour. bought habitually in
units lasting more than week, are prop

family used to buying flour by the

sugar by the usual five or ten pounds

Families differ not only in size but
in needs and buying habits. Probably
the silliest, most expensive and waSteful
method is to buy half a pound Of sugar
and half pound of butter today, and
go back and do the same tomorrow. That's

InconspicuouS, hiding like a shy
violet in the croWding news COL
umns, is a brief story that Britain
and Ethiopia haveScompleted a new
agreement providing restoration Of
full sovereignty for that country
under Halle SelaSsie.
This is more important than the
shy little news item indicates. Have
we forgotten 1885, when Mussollnl
invaded the helpless little country?
How the League OF Nations. OF
which Ethiopia was a member, pro
tested, backed and filled, propoS-
ed sanctions, and how all the great
powers Including ourSelveS) back
ed down on really putting pressure
on Italy to stop? How the bloody
and unequal struggle went on, with
reluctant young Neapolitans drlV-
en- to victory over the tatterdema-
lion forces of the Negus?
This, 1885 was when the policy
Of naked aggression, begun four
years before by Japan in Asia,
reached Europe. Six years later,
six years during which the world
has known no peace, Ethiopia again
becomes independent 1t joins Free
Syria, given last September the
independence which the League
promised it after World War l.
The independence Of tEc5C two
countries is more or less nomina!
today and must be SO while the war
goes on, for neither can defend its
neW-Won freedom under conditions
of world war. Nevertheless, it is a
start, a sign.
What the allies must do it to
magnify, multiply, and give living
reality TO these small portentS.
The best way to rally the world
to a fight for freedom is TO dem
onstrate, not merely with words,
but with deeds that those Of US
who already fight, fight really for
freedom.
It is fortunate, in a sense, that
the Japanese have drawn the line
they drew at Pearl Harbor. Tho
long dreaded war of the East
against the West, the brOWn-and-
yellow peoples of the world against
the white, is not to be. Instead,
the japanese have chosen war of
free peoples against militaristic
ageressors, and lined up the great
est of yellow peoples, the Chinese,
and the greatest Of brown peoples,
the Indians, on the side of freedom,
while Germany and Italy have
similarly divided the whites by lin
ing up with the yellow Japanese
on the side of aggression. The line

is not a color or race line; it is A
line that divides frccdOm-Sceklng
men from robots.
One decd in actually extending
freedom to peoples not yet free Is
worth ten million WOrdS.
No better propaganda, no great
nr force in uniting the free world,
could be unlcaahcd than actual
deeds in making freedom an in
creasing reality among all peoples
touched by the power Of the Unit
ed Nations
THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE SCALE
The total debt of a people is the
sum of the debt OF the federal GOV
ernment. the state and local GOV
ernments, and corporate and per
sOnal debt.
Now when the federal debt un-
avoidably scars SkyWard on tie
wings of vast war, il is time to re-
duce the other debt clements
whenever possible. Economists are
urging the payment Of personal
debts and Of corporation dcbtS with
money that would otherwise be
spent for decreasing stocks of con-
sumer goods. State and local gov
ernmentS are being urged to hold
down their expenses, end cut taxes.
Every dollar that can be cut from
personal, corporate. local and state
dcbt during this war l. an offset
to the unavoidably huge federal
debt that is being piled up. no op-
portunity should be lost TO hold
the total debt burden in this way
as small as possible, by reducing
tie elements of tho total debt.
Most states are now c0-Opnratn., =, &
in campaign which ,lould have
tWo-lold and equally desirable re-
suits. It is TO cut down the speed

Connecticut has cut the speed

Der, and the faster a man burns
up his tires, the louder he is apt TO

Slower driving should have a

People who never would take care
of their own necks for their own
sake are now asked to do it for
their country's sake. Time lost
through accidents, or lost forever
through death, is lost to the de-
fenSe of the country.

THE FIRST LADY LETS
PREJUDICE PREVAIL

That a committee Of the United States
house of representatives should be placed
in the position of delivering an outright
snub to the wife of the President of the
United States is something no American
can be proud Of.
1t happened when the Dies committee,
at a secret executive session rejected by
four to one vote the request of Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt for a letter from the
committee virtually sponsoring 33-year-
old writer Joseph =. Lash, for an ap-
pointment as an officer in the United
States naval intelligence service.
1t happened because Mrs. Roosevelt
made the most unreasonable request
since the war effort started.
She requested an action which would
have admitted a frOntWOrker tor sub
erSive Communist organizations to the
most highly secret branch of naval serv-
ice. as a commissioned officer She asked
elected representatives of the people to
recommend for a naval commission man
who has no training for it, no aptitude
for it, whose writings have dripped hatred
for everything military, and Who-unleSs
he gets d cOmmiSSiOn-wlll be drafted
into the army as private.
would the right honorable Mr.. ayh want
this commission so badly if he were not
in line for the draft?
Mrs. Roosevelt has been friendly with
Mr.. Lash. even to the point of enduring
widespread public criticism, for many
months. At the very time when the Dies
committee was adducing evidence year
or so ago to prove that the American Stu
dent Union so-caled. of which Lash was
an official, was Communist front or
ganizaton, Mrs. Roosevelt was having
him and his fellows to lunch at the White
House More lately she was instrument
tai in obtaining his appointment to the
national advisory defense committee,
youth division, of the Office of Civilian
Defense. Now she is attempting to OBJ
tain for him commission in the secret
service division of the navy.
Perhaps she will succeed-her husband
is commander in chief. But, if she does,
the mothers of a million other young Am
ericans-and the million young Amerl-
cans themselves-are going to have plen-
ty of reason to complain long and bitterly
against a setup which permits man
who, at the very least is an avowed friend
of the Communists, to escape ordinary
military service because of his high con-
nectiOnS.

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
NEA service Staff Writer


Consider A, B, c, and D, E, G,
FS-eyeIy woman should be fam
iliar with the2e seven letters OF
the alphabet of yitamins. Vitamins
do more than rosewater and gly-
ccrine for your health and beauty.
And with all the talk you hear
about them. surprisingly few wom-
en- can identify them and tell
where they can be found. Here they
are in alhabctical order:
Vitamin A is in animal fats and
in vegetables with the color OF fat
yellow. Some beauty people pre-
scribe A for finger nails that break
easily Medical authorities say that
lack of A makes certain tissues,
like the breathing membranes, easy
prey to infection. Hence the popu-
lar descriptions A is the anti-in-
fection vitamin.
Vitamin b is for buoyancy.
CReally B-1-there are at least five
other numbers in the B family0t
B comes in brains and unmilled
grains, as well as in lean meats,
especially pork, and in spinach,
egg yolk, and yeast.
B is the great American need
among vitamins. That is, there 81
q mere Widespread deficiency OF
this than of any other. You can
get B in enriched bread and flour
in almost every locality, now When
you dont'S get enough B you suffer
from fatigue, loss of appetite, and
digestive disturbances. A severe
lack of b may cause actual Struc-
tural deterioration of the nerves.
Vitamin c is in citrus fruits.
Tooth decay is a common sign of
C-deficiency. Marked C-lack is al
so believed to be largely respon-
Sible for Scurvy. c is in certified
milk, but not in pasteurized.
Vitamin d comes in deep-sea
fish and their oils-cod, sardines,
Newfoundland herring and halibut
And D is for development-of
sound teeth, bones and immunity
to that severe and very common
childrens disease. rickets.
VITAMIN g is FOR SKIN
E is in the embryos of cereals,
especially in wheat germ, as we'll
as in lettuce spinach and water
cress. And f is apparently essential
to human fertility, too.
, Vitamin G fosters good skim
Without enough G, children get
cracks at the mouth corners, adults
permanent goose pimples, and eye
inflammationS more easily. The
serious disease, pellagra, is due to.
lack of B-Vitamins and lack OF a
chemical called nicotine acid. G.
is in wheat germ, liver, milk.
x is in kale and other green
vegetables. and K-lack causes ex-
cessiye bleeding especially in new
born babies.
Bounding health, which of course
is the surcSt route to lasting beau
ty-requires that you get some OF
every one of these Vitamlns every
day. If it seems too difficult to
check them one by one daily, you
surely can mcmorize them and take
a special interest in them. Warm
ing: don't take any kind of vita
min pills" without first consulting
your doctor.

WAR MAY SOLVE PROBLEM
OF RUBBER SHORTAGE
AIadera Tribune)

(MdQerd 1TlDuue)
Out of every war comes some scientific
discovery that often would remain un-
known-one Of the few benefits that
offset the terrible losses of conflicts.
This is true because necessity is the moth
er of the discovery and cost of expert
ments and tests are not an obstruction
with victory the lone objective.
For the past several years the supply
of rubber has been in question. 1t has
become more and more most essential
in the everyday life of the human being.
So vital has been this substance that
Ford and Firestone have carried on vast
projects in South America and expert
ments with synthetic rubber have had
minor trials. With the war came far
extended shortage over all anticlpatlonS
and the Pacific conflict. cutting off ON
merce with the East Indies completed the
circle of need and lack of supply.
MANY experiments are now receiving
the most serious attention and support
as a result of the emergency. Out of
these tests will come some substitute that
will serve as we'll if not better. Whether
it will be produced at feasible cost and
quantity will be the problem. If history
repeats the national rubber supply may
become less and less important before

true in the intelligence services, where
espionage and counter-es pionage, as we'll
