The Home Evening

Owing to the shortage of auto
mobile tires, many people may be
somewhat restricted as to the di-
versions they formerly enjoyed
People will depend more upon their
home town entertainments, which
they can reach without difficulty,
Also many people will spend more
evenings at home. We have the
facilities today to make home even
ings enjoyable.
One change that has come is that
card playing is today more fasci-
mating than ever. Many people who
formerly played cards but little,
and did not care greatly for these
merry pasteboards, have now be-
come interested in their bridge
games. Any family can find plenty
of people who will enjoy this pleas
ure with them. 1t will be great
year for this grand sport. 1t fas-
cinates people by its appeal to their
skill and cleverness, and by their
hope that Lady Luck will give them
good cards.
The radio brings the music and
the fun and the wisdom of the land
into our home, so the home need
never be dull. 1t provides the
dancing crowd with all the music
they need to practice their steps.
ANY time they want to dance, they
can invite their friends to come in,
roll up the rugs, and have a grand
time.
People will do more reading than
usual in their home. They will
want to read what newspapers give
them about the war. They will be
more interested in the doings Of
their home towns, as told faithful
ly in each issue of the local news
paper.- sp--t ss@--, ss---i
Books and magazines are poured
out in vast abundance, and they
will help make the evenings at
home happy. People should try to
get some benefit out of their read
ing. The more they learn about
the world, the better share they
will have in its activities.

Military Power

Something can be learned of the
reasons why nations are defeated
in war, by reading the testimony at
the trials now proceeding in France
to determine who was responsible
for the defeat and collapse of that
country. One commander testified
that a general attitude existed in
that country that the army was a
costly instrument for which there
was no further use.
There also existed strong feel
ing in the United States, following
the first world war, that the coun-
try need never again engage in
war, and that the army could be
kept small with very limited equip
ment. Such scanty military and
naval preparation has now landed
us in war up to our necks. Most
Of the army has had to be newly
trained, and our equipment has
been woefully inadequate.
Even assuming that Germany
and Japan are beaten, it will not be
possible for the United States to
disarm. When the German and
Japanese people will follow i'm
plicitly leaders that drag them into
the hell of war, the peaceful ma
tions will have to be prepared to
fight.
1t may be necessary to destroy
the armament factories in Germany
and Japan, and keep military
forces stationed there for years. So
long as the rulers of some nations
conceive the idea that they can
conquer foreign countries, and
force them to work in subjection
to their conquerors, the peaceful
countries should be ready to fight
for freedom and peace.
The boys who are now coming
along will probably have to recon-
cile themselves, after the present
war is over, to the necessity of
military training for year or two.
Our armed forces should always
have at their command military
equipment far better than the war
making nations can acquire. With
such preparation. the world will
dwell in peace and wars will stop.

visit Is imminent, recalled to re-
porters that Mrs. Roosevelt told
her press conference last week
that she hoped to visit London
some time if she could serve some
useful purpose. He added that
she had received a number of
invitations from Queen Elizabeth
to make such visit.
Assured of Welcome.
British newspapers assured Mrs.
Roosevelt that she would be a well
come guest.
The newspaper articles said Mrs.
Roosevelt also would meet with the
Churchills, make trips to American
Army posts and to war factories
and would inspect the organizatio
of the WAAFS, WRENS and ATS,
the women's auxiliaries of the Raj,
Navy and Territorial Service, re-
spectively.
Since she has no official position,
she would come as a private guest of
the king and queen, not as a state
visitor.
The Daily Express reported the
Forthcoming visit in a dispatch from
its New York correspondent. The
Evening News said in its talk of
the Town" column that the Presi-
dents wife might have arrived some
weeks ago except for the Queens
attack of bronchitis. An official an
'nouncement yesterday said the
Queen had now recovered.
The News added that London
will be delighted to welcome Mrs.
Roosevelt" and noted that she
writes, broadcasts, continuously
travels everywhere and sees things
for herself"
Informing English readers that
the Presidents wife was reputed
to earn 100000 a year and Travelled
10000 miles her first year in the
White House, the newspaper said
"although Mrs. Roosevelt is not
good looking, being tall and gaunt,
she has a graceful figure and at
tractive personality"
AS a girl she went to Allenswood
Finishing School at Wimbledon, near
London, and since the war has
adopted" three children here who
needed care. They are Janina Brod-
zic-Dybowska, 17-year-old daugh-
ter of Polish Army officer; Herman

boy from Spain, and Tommy Ma

artillery concentration on the
east bank of the Volga)
A cold rain, driven by high
wind, swept down from the north
across the steppes of the Don -Volga
corridor and the ruins of Stalin-
grad, a foretaste of approaching

The army newspaper Red Star
said the adverse weather compelled

erations, the outnumbered Russian
pilots as we'll as the invaders.
Previously the German flyers had
made as many as $500 flights in
q day over single Russian sector.
Stripped of aerial support, the Nazi
ground troops found harder going.
Heavy Fighting Reported.
The midnight communique said
the fighting was particularly heavy
IN the area OF factory. This
presumably was the Red Barricade
gun works or the converted indus
trial plant, Red October, in the
northern suburbs. The communique
did not gpecify.
Our troops in the course of the
day beat off all enemy attacks here,
destroyed eight tanks and wiped out

Eighteen Nazi tanks were declared

Life insurance sales in the Cap

quarter. according to the latest re-
port from the Sales Research Bu-
reau at Hartford which announced
a September slump of % per cent
drom last year. This was exactly
the same percentage drop as in
August and is ascribed by insurance
leaders to the greatly reduced num-
Der OF statesmen on account of the

$4,000 in the like period, a de-
crease of $5,160,000 or per cent.

arate resolution, was a proposed
constitutional amendment by Sem
ator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan, to give all citizens of 18
or older the right to vote.
"If young men of 18 are to be
drafted to fight for their country" :"
Senator Vandenberg declared, "they
should be able to vote for the kind
of Government the country is to
have"
The wording of the Vandenberg
amendment would make it apply to
Citizens of the lower age group,
thereby making it applicable to girls
as we'll as youths.
There would be long legal road
ahead of this proposal, however,
since it would require ratification by
three e-fourths Of the States, even if
approved by Congress.
There was little outspoken Senate
opposition to the general proposal
to lower the draft age and most
controversy was expected to center
around the Lee amendment.
In content it was similar to a
bill drafted by tine late Senator
Morris Sheppard of Texas, sponsor
of the 18th amendment.
The Sheppard bill was pigeonholed
after Secretary of War Stimson op-
posed it on the ground that the War
Department had Its own and more
effective methods of attaining tenn
perance and Of dealing with those
who. through intemperance, bring
discredit upon the service"
Mr.. Stimson pointed out that the
sale of liquor was banned on military
posts. with only beer and wine
served in such areas.
In a letter to the committee he
said the War Department was
firmly convinced that such legisla-
ton would not be in the interest o1
temperance in respect to the armed
forces, but would be used as q
stepping stone for movement lead
ing to Nation wide prohibition, g
method once tried and later re.
pealed by majority vote of the

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Jay N.
Whipple, Chicago investment bank
er, today was elected president of

ton of America.
Whipple, partner in the firm of
Bacon, Whipple & Co., told the in
vestment men that persons now buy
ing Government bonds to finance
the war formed a potential market
for investments after the struggle
is over.
These people now are capitalists, +"
Whipple said, land your potential
customers for securities other than
Government issues after the war.
"All Of them feel sense of inter-
est and ownership in the Govern
ment as result of their purchases
and they will be increasingly con-
scious of their responsibilities as
citizens and more active in preserv-
ing an economic system which will
safeguard their investment.
They will be the first to oppose
Communism, Socialism or any other
ism which threatens to destroy
these investments.
The Municipal Securities Com
mission of the association, headed
by Robert c. Webster of Nashville
opposed proposals current in Wash
ington for placing a Federal tax
on the income from State and mu-
nicipal securities.
"A change in our form of Gov
ernment of so drastic a character.
istic proposed should not be at.
tempted by any other means than g
constitutional amendment" the re.
port said.
There are ample evidences
abroad of the serious results of the
gradual assumption of power b5
government and encroachment upor
sound governmental principles with.
out consent of the people," the re.
port concluded.

ton chosen today included: Arthur
