To avoid dying of thirst on

the moisture from the roots.
One of the group, Lieut.. jim

Lieut.. Robert Vaught, "a, of
Johnson City, Tenn, gave this
report on a perilous adventure
recently aloft and aground:
While flying rs miles from

into the corner, but when he
touched the rudder bar the
snake struck him twice.
Vaught then seized the snake
and threw it out.
Almost Immediately he began
to feel so ill that he made q
forced landing in a dry swamp.
After fainting several times, he
dragged himself to a water hole
where he put a tourniquet on
his badly-swollen leg and made
a mud pack which relieved the
pain somewhat. He thought of
scarifying the wounds but de-

WASHINGTON, July 24-(R
The United States is calling on
all peoples who hope to keep
their freedom, regain lost free
dom or win new freedom to help
defeat the Axis now.
Secretary of State Hull sound
ed the call last night in an ad-
dress shortwaved to all coun-
tries-friends. foes, defeated ma
tons and those still listed as
rigidly neutral. He stressed that
the conflict now raging is mot
war of nation against nation"
but worldwide fight by those
who love freedom against would
be conquerors who seek to en-
slave all mankind.
Characterizing professions Of
neutrality in such a conflict as
absurd and suicidal" he pic
tured the worldwide war as a
test of the caliber of nations and
individuals.
MEEK UNWORTHY?
There is no surer way" he
said, "for men and for nations
to show themselves unworthy of
liberty than, by supine submis-
sion and refusal to fight, to rem
der more difficult the task Of
those who are fighting for the
preservation 81 human freedom
unless it be to align them
selves freely and voluntarily
with the destroyers of liberty"
Then in sentence apparently
aimed at the militarily helpless
inhabitants Of Axis-countries, he
added:
There is no surer way for
men and nations to show them
selves worthy of liberty than
to fight for its preservation, in
any way that is open to them,
against those who would de-
stroy it ALL"
In further emphasis of the
theme that those who would be
free must show themselves will
ing to fight against the despoil-
ers of freedom, Hull asserted
that in this vast conflict the
whole hearted support of Amer
leans is dedicated to those who
are:
l. Fighting for the preserva-
ton of their freedom.
2. Fighting to regain the
freedom of which they have
been brutally deprived, or
3. Fighting for the opportun-
ity to achieve freedom.
Without specifically mention
ing the acute tension in India
over nationalist leaders insist
ence on immediate independ-
ence, Hull said:
ENTITLED TO LIBERTY
I'VE have always believed
and we believe today-that all
peoples, without distinction of
race, color, or religion, who are
prepared and willing to accept
the responsibilities of liberty.
are entitled to its enjoyment"

night toward the East, hid in the
desert the following day without
food or water and started out
again under cover of darkness.
The second night they captur-
ed a truck by surprising the Ital-
ian driver while he slept. The
Italian handed over his water,
food and cigarettes, but the Off
GERS could not get the truck
started and went on again by
foot.
The third night they came up
on a German and an Italian with
captured British truck. The
pair surrendered when the Of

their ribs, pretending they were
revolvers.
In the truck, the fugitives con-
tinued eastward, drawing gaso-
line from abandoned vehicles.
On the fourth night they made
a dash through the Axis front
lines, eluding two German arm
ored cars which gave chase.

County Agent Tells Housewife
How To Capture Elusive Vitamins

Keep salad green crisp by wrap
ping them in clean cloth, and keep
ing them covered in a cold place.
Now for the easy rules for cook
ing green vegetables to preserve the
goodness Mother Nature put into
them:
Rule One: cook vegetables rapidly,
and if you cook in water, use a
small amount of boiling salted water.
Cook until just tender-a very short
time and nerer add soda to the cook
ing water because soda destroys vita
minis.
Rule Two: Have the water boiling
when you put the green vegetables
on to cook.
Rule Three: Leave off the lid to
keep the green color. With leafy
vegetables, use lid just at the start
until vegetables are wilted.
Rule Four: Serve all the juice with
cooked vegetables, or use the juice
in soup, sauce, stew or gravy. That's
being thrifty with the vitamins that
dissolve in water. / am sure if yo,
follow these four simple rules fol
cooking vegetables your family viii
get more of those needed vitamin
and minerals.
