The fact that the creatures don't

consequently twice a year they go deep
into the ground. When they return to
the surface they bring back with them
valuable chemicals.
The worms themselves have a very
high nitrogen content, and when they
die this is added 60 the top soil Through
their underground activities, the soil is
cultivated TO a depth that no plow
could reach, and is aerated so that il
is capable of holding more moisture.
All this does much 10 increase the crop

Farmers can propagate the new
worms in boxes filled with a special
composition of alfalfa leaves, peat moss
and barn manure and kept in a base

to draft 81 because STA volunteered for
service.
The same was true in the last war.
At that time, Indians were not required
to register as they did not have fun
citizenship status. But more than
$4,000 volunteered. And TO prove that
they still had the fighting ability that
once made them the terrors Of the
West, they won medals for extraordi-
nary heroism out Of all proportions TO
their numbers.
Indicative OF the red mans patriot
ism was recent incident at Navajo
reservation, where the Indians, as soon
as they heard OF the outbreak Of war,
started for the nearest town. They
didn't understand how the Selective
Service worked. but they did know
they were expected TO register. Toting
everything from ancient buffalo guns
to modern rifles, all the braves of the
tribe, ranging from 15-year-olds to old
men. descended on the recruiting office.
They had said goodbye to their fami-
war Immediately.
Not content with their high percent
age OF volunteers, the Klamath Indians
in southeastern Oregon voted TO do
nate $150,0OO of tribal funds TO the
Government for a war-trades training
school on their reservation.
Typical of Indian performance in the
last war was the feat of Private Joe
Oklahombi, a Choctaw, who won the
Croix de Guerre for rushing 30 yards
through barbed wire entanglements
under heavy fire to clean out a Ger
man machine gun nest. He captured
III prisoners, turned their guns
against the enemy. and held his posi-
ton for four days.

A TITLE girls usually speak their
minds when they have to don their
kwolder sisters hand me down
clothes. Offhand, it would seem that
the rising young starlets of Hollywood
might also think it little beneath
their dignity to go before the cameras
in "cast-off" outfits. But, unlike the
small fry, the up-and-coming stars are
willing, IL not eager, to appear in such
secondhand clothes.
With all the money that is spent on
fashion designers and dressmakers,
one can't help but wonder just why
these comely and shapely baby stars
are expected to shine in yesterdays
wardrobes. Well, for one thing. the
war has finally put on the pinch and
there's a shortage of silks, satins, and
other glamourous fabrics.
To meet new and heavy taxes not
to mention increased expenses, the pro-
ducers have to economic and one of
their saving ways includes the ward
robes of the stars and would-be stars.
That's why the ensembles turned out
for a leading lady are no longer
through when the shooting is over.
They go back to the store-house for a
second. third, and sometimes even a
fourth trip before the sound cameras.
Or they are worn more times by OBJ
scure extras. But, as often as not,
they fall 10 the lot Of rising young
film hopefuls who are eager to have
them. None of this small sister stuff
for them for they know that the gowns
are expensive. we'll made, and may
have been put on only once by star.
Little wonder then, that these star

enough, Kang Teh knows that he

American shavers rubbed stubbled
chins reflectively this morning and
wondered II the horse -and buggy
beard was on its way back.
No one seemed to be sure. Even
ofncials Of the armed services were
uncertain whether the proposed
one-bla de-a-week allotment was
meant to apply to tough -whiskered
men on active duty.
As for the civilian with set shaw
ing habits. he tried-with some be-
wilderment-to figure out just how
he would be affected by the War
Production Board order of yester-
day, sharply curtailing the manu-
facture of razors and razor blades.
One Blade Not ample"
On the one hand he was assured
officially that an ample supply" of
razors and blades would continue,
without any rationing. But he also
was told-likewise officially-that
only an average of one blade per
shaver per week would be available.
The rub, in most cases, was that he
used several blades a week, so one
would not be ample"
The w. P. B. order, 1t was noted,
omitted the usual stipulation ex-
ceptins the armed services from Its
operation. This raised the question

how 1t would affect an Army and
Navy that is predominantly clean
shaven.
An Army press ofncer, apparently
undaunted by the vision of stream
lined modern divisions with bushy
Civil War boards, reported that
there was nothing in regulations
pro or con on the subject OF whis-
kers. 1t seemed to be left to the
preference Of the commanding Of
ficer, although the procedure for
stufiing . full beard into a gas mask
presents q novel military problem.
Navy Offers . Choice.
The Navy, on the other hand, pro-
vides in regulations that sailor
can be either clean-shaven or
bearded, as he chooses. This. how
ever, occasionally has raised ticklish
questions Of discipline.
One story tells Of a seaman who
was reprimanded for reporting un-
shaven for inspection. His fool
proof excuse was that he had de-
cided to raise . beard. When he
appeared clean -shaven several days
later his alibi was that he had
given up the beard.
The expectation was that the W.
p. B. razor and blade curtailment
order would be clarified, both as
far as the armed services were con-
cerned and for perplexed civilians.

French Revolution

Americans have been thinking of France in terms of Vichy French and Fighting French. Our attention has been divided between the France that works with Ger many and the France that joins it's old allies in open war against the commo nenemy AS active forces, both these groups small Not than five percent of the population follows Laval and his accomplices in the policy of collaboration and en smaller fraction has been able To escape to swell the growing ranks of General de Gaulle But behind these little groups at home proud nation nodded above all others by the great traditions and free currents of Western civil lzatlon, delivered into the power of the stormtrooper mind that first crushed all that humane and liberal
 in Germany and then set out to club the rest of Europe into submission to it's brutal and barbaric mastery
 We have need to be told how the French mind re- acts to this humiliation If there was ever question that in their defeat and disuson the French might accept the Nazi order it is answered by every witness who comes out of France. Even more conVincngly 1t is answered by the Germans themselves. They admit ted that they had executed 70 hostages at Bordeaux alone, and though these reprsa murders of the nno- cent mount week by week throughout the occupied zone attacks on the occupying forces increase in num- berS and violence Disturbances have reached the dm ensions of a concerted movement of revolt.
 Irrespective of Vchy or the free Frenchnen in exile profound revulsion and convulsion are in process within France itself We hear of "a wave of revolu- ton, of the Moscow radio calling the French not to wait for the armies of deVerance but to take up arms now against the invaders and light the fuse Of revolt The appeal for action is Russias attempt to create second front of her by summQning ntc the open the underground movement of rebellion, and
