s FAR back as the summer
1 n of 1880, the Skibbies, or
Japs. were providing along the
Aieutian chain, ostensibly en-
gagged in fishing. They arrived
with a big feet of fishing boats,
memberships and floating can
neries and they worked their
way into the Bering Sea and
even into Bristol Bay.
They attracted no attention
from Washington officials. then.
or later because il seems a
"gentlemen's agreement was
entered into between certain
elements of our governments
and the Japs that the latter
were not 10 be interfered with

Professor Chafee Will close his
eyes.
Again. our naive professor
says that there is no cause for
anxiety because Of the present
small voting strength Of the
Reds.
Never was there a greater
error than measuring an idea by
its voting strength.
The prohibitionists have al
ways polled a small vote at
American elections. yet prohi-
bition was put over on us-and
not by the Prohibition Party,
either.
It's the most specious book on
free speech I've ever read.

Il racieS in war is their lack OF
fanaticism.
The strength of Hitler and
Stain and their like lie in

A democrat by the very fact
that he is basically tolerant and
freedom-loving cannot be a
Single-track mind. which is the
basis of fanaticiSm.
On the other hand, the Com
muniSt, the Fascist and the Nazi
have the strength OF maniacs
because they are meSSianic.
Their beliefs are fanatical re-
ligions.
They have in them the demon
ism OF all Oriental cults-and
Marx. Lenin. Stain and Hitler
are all OrientalS.
tMussolini is only a mounte-
bank, a counterfeit fanatic.)
What. then, must democracy
do TO survive these fanatics?
Nothing less than this-to
conceive individual liberty fanati-
cally, TO look on il as a religion.

hours day and five days a
week.
After the course is finished
the applicant must be willing 20
do 80 hours OF volunteer work
in hospital.
The course consists in instruc-
ton in bed making, giving bed
baths and nearly all the routine
care Of the patient, taking tenn
peratureS, pulse and respiration
rates. the use of the hot water
bottle, the ice bag. giving
enemas and preparing trays for
simple procedures,
The nurse aide does not give
hypodermics or administer treat
ment, other than routine care,
except under the supervision OF
a graduate nurse.
II is the plan at present, as far
as possible. 10 keep the nurse
aides in the communities where
they live and where they are
training.
I IMAGINE that in case of
Il Red Cross emergency, how
ever. these nurse aides might be
asked 10 volunteer in districts
away from their localities 10
help out during the period Of the
emergency.
There is no idea. of course at
present that any Of them will be
used for foreign service.
1t is estimated that the num-
Der of nurse aides needed will
be nationally about 100000.
In hospitals of 100 beds or
more, il is estimated that there
will be needed from 10 to 20
nurse aides for 100 beds.
This varies a little, depending
upon what kind OF work the
hospital does
