heart-warming story of an aver

story, simply, honestly told as it
might be in a dispatch from
bombed English village, is woven
around the Miniver's and their
family. The picture has several
spectacular wartime sequences
such as the rescue at Dunkirk
and the bombing Of the village
emphasis is placed on the re-
actions Of these everyday people
going through the horrors Of war
in their own homes. Greer Gar
son and Walter Pidgeon hold the
lead roles.

A Proper Leader

A CCEPTANCE by Clarence E. Wilcox of leadership
"A in the campaign to carry Wayne County's request
for home rule the rest of the state is heartenng to
say the least.
Mr. Wilcox is one of Detroit's most eminent and dis
interested public servants He is truly devoted to the rights
of the people He is unselfish and untrng in his fights
for them.
When he endeavors to preach the doctrine of home
rule for Wayne County to outsate Michigan you may be
sure it is matter with him. of sincere personal conviction
Mr.. Wilcox never has been known to advocate any
issue unless he believed firmly in it.
His integrity has cost him perhaps lot of money
but it has won him the regard Of all of the people of

SGCHE lived like queen"
- To the lonely Old Lady of
Buckingham Palace that must indeed
be hooking phrase.
,> 1t belongs to the story books,
where everything turns out all right.
Almost nothing has turned out all
right for her.
Few women, even those who dwell
in novels, have been asked to bear
the sorrows, cares and disappoint-
ments that have been hers the last
few years.
A king died, and the world forgot
to remember, in the pomp and
trappings that go with a kings
death, that to some one he wasn't
king but a husband and lover.
A king failed in a trust, and the
world forgot to remember that to
some one he wasn't a king, but an
eldest son in whom all her hopes
were wrapped.
A duke is killed, and the world
runs it's headlines, needless that to
some one he wasn't duke, but just
a baby boy grown up.
THAT "some one"-the lonely Lady
i of Buckingham Palace-is Dow
ager Queen Mary of England.
What a gallant lady!
The Union Jack is no stauncher
symbol of the empires undying re-
fusal to bend to adversely than the
dowager queen. The world has made
fun of her hats, but never of her
heart.
She has taken each blow as
bravely as any British man O. war
ever took the pounding of heavy
sea.
The death of her husband, George
V, may have broken her heart but
never her poise and calm.
THE abdication of Edward found
l. her the most dignified and under
standing of all those intimately con-
cerned with the empires ha king
event.
She was the closest to it of all,
yet she managed to keep herself the
furthest away.

Edwards abdication meant to her,
but it isn't hard to guess. A mother

Reflections
In Military
Explained
Good Reasons Often Lie
Behind Services Act

WE HAVE some bitter COM
w plants these days about re-
jectiors for the army or navy,
but there Is always a good rea-
son for what the services do
even if the examining doctor
doesn't have time to explain it
TO the selectee at the moment OF
examination.
I heard a new angle the other
day. A man had applied for the
submarine service and was per-
feet physically in every way ex-
cept that he had some dental
bridge work which caused them
to turn him down.
He couldn't seem to reconcile
this with the eternal scheme OF
things, nor could I until a navy
medico explained to me that eff
fective gripping Of the mouth
piece of the submarine escape
apparatus, or lung" will be
interfered with IL crowns,
bridges. dentures or even pyor-
rhea are present, which seems
reasonable.
HALITOSIS is also cause for
IL rejection in submarine serv-
ice, which / also can under
stand: II you are cooped up in
a small space with a fellow with
bad breath il would lead, in my
case, to mutiny.
The navy stresses vision and
the army feet:
mo arches--no marches"
The greatest consideration,
however, in the examination of
any selectee is the saving of
government money after the war
from pensions.
In this field I see a great i'm
provement over the selection in
the last war, especially Of those
who have tuberculosis.
In 1917 there were boards set
up to examine all draftees for
tuberculosis, but they did their
work in such an incredibly care
less way that thousands of men
with active tuberculosis were
accepted.
They often developed acute
symptoms and broke down be-
fore they had been in the army
six weeks.
THOSE who developed active
Il symptoms in France, and had
to be cared for In army sanitaria
cost the government millions of
dollars.
Most people even with active
tuberculosis are entirely un-
aware of IL and the examination
has TO be very special TO detect
1T when no symptoms are
present.
When an enlisted man. be-
cause of physical disability, is
found to be untitled for military
service he is retained in the
hospital until his condition has
reached a point where he will
no longer be benefited by treat
ment in military hospital
He is then given a certificate
OF disability for discharge.
Many are weeded out quite
early in their military career,
the largest number within three
months. q
Most of these are simply tenn
peramentally untitled for mill
tary life.
They are continuously report
ing for sick call for minor COM
plants, or they have indiges-
ton. or their hearts flutter, or
their backs ache, etc.
They are much better off in
civil life, where they recover
with surprising aplomb.

"cochineal insects" and are OF value
In making dyes.
Some one in Australia had the
idea that dye industry of this kind
should be started there. So he
ordered shipment of prickly pears
to serve as food for cochineal in
sects.
The first prickly pears were
planted in Australia l54 years ago
Since then the people there have
wished it never had happened. The
plants have spread far and wide, and
efforts to stamp them out have
failed. Large areas have been over
grown to such an extent that they
no longer are fit for grazing land.
We can, however. say some good
words for prickly pears. The fruit
OF certain kinds is good to eat. 1t is
of pear shape, and Is bit larger
than hens egg.
Plant experts have worked with
prickly pears. Several kinds with
out any prickles have been pro-
duced, and they are good for cattle
food.

The flower heads are single and

very common.
There is a cousin that Is often
mistaken for the heart-leaved one
that is OF the northwest. 1t, too,
has yellow flowers, but It's leaves
are bright green. quite thin in tex
ture, instead Of velvety, and almost
smooth. The lower ones are almost
round. These flowers flourish in the
mountain woods. Unless you know
the difference. you may not realize
they are cousins. Besides these two,
there are many other kinds Of
Artemisia. Some are herbs, some
shrubs. Usually. they are bitter and
aromatic, and they are widely dis
tributed.
There is even small arctic species
not over 2 feet high that camps be-
side the glacier and is known as
the mountain arnica. 1t has dainty
little yellow flowers that resemble
those of the daisy. This variety
has three-toothed rays and very
narrow, slightly toothed, nearly
stemless deep green leaves. It Is
also found in moist spots on many
Of our New England SUBMITS. 1t
blooms from June to August. It is
also found on the shores of Lake
Superior and has travelled westward
through the mountains to Alaska,
California and the Rocky Mountains
in Utah and Colorado.
These three arnicas are charming
flowers to plant in your wild flower
garden. The seeds are quite abund-
ant and. In autumn, you may gather
them without fear of depriving any
one. These gay little blossoms al
ways make the spot unforgettable-
they seem to have such an air Of
cheerfulness and determination.
