SHORTAGE OF SEAWATER!

It will come as q surprise to many,
who had heard about AIcoo's monopoly
until recently in the production Of
oIuminum, to learn that about 43 per
cent Of this continents output is made
in Canada
Notwithstanding the huge exPon-
sion in American extraction Of the light
metals, we are told that still we need
more oIuminum and more magnesium
from the dominion,
As for the aluminium, this is under

program, there is almost no limit to our
requirement. But why cont we produce
all the magnesium we want? A bothtub

NEGROES IN THE NAVY

"A tirst-closs fightin' man" is the
American Negro, os members Of his
race have proved in several wars. The
decision Of the Navy Department to
accept enIistments Of colored men os
seonen, privotes, and non-comnnis-
stoned officers in the naval and mo-
rjne reserve is O wholesome departure.
Negroes heretofore have served in the
Navy only as cooks, stewards, and
mess boys. They now may be formed
into combat units.
This does not mean that they ore
to be scattered through the ranks Of
white seonnen and petty officers. Sec
rotary Knox indicates thot they will be
assigned to segregated duties, SO as to
avoid problems that might orse from
association in the same duties in the
crowded quarters Of worshps.
One imoeines the coIored person.
mel might be assigned to certain
storerooms, boiIer-roonns, or shore es-
Establishments, might form gun-crews
for merchant vessels, and eventually
might man some particular ships, as
coIored troops have long made up GER
tain regiments in the Army
This policy will scarcely satisfy O
number who believe, with basic COR
RICHNESS, that the American system
demands complete equality Of oppor-
tunity in every respect Yet it will COM
mend itself to those who have proc
ticoI, first-hond knowledge Of the stu
otion The effects Of roce prejudice ore
not objteroted merely by ignoring the
foct that the prejudice is present; the
prejudice itself must be dissolved and
overcome by education and experience
This is O gradual process in which
each roce has some port TO fulfill,
something to learn Of appreciation and
respect for the others good qualities
and capabilities The common task
which both now have in repeIIng an
enemy whose very teachings exoIt q

should help 10 dissolve the boriers Of
misunderstanding.

High|ights from
the Latest Books

It has become so trite to say
that America rolled to greatness
on railroads and swan to glory
through oil, that maybe it isn't
trite to say it again. Anyway,
here are two new books which
picture the fun, history, dirt-and-
CRIME work and personalities of
those two industries.
Herbert Asbury does for oil in
"The Golden Flood (Knopf:
$500, what he did for Method
ism, FriSco's Barbary Coast and
the New York gangs in other
notable books.
The Golden Flood" largely
deals with the discovery of oil in
Pennsylvania and the bloodand-
thunder days which followed
there. One of the hardsWinging
characters of the day, well por-
trayed by Asbury, was Benedict
Hagan, alias Ben Hogan-mur-
derer, thief, gambler, panderer,
acrobat counterfeiter, prize fight
or, Civil War spy, blockade run
ner. Hagan, like the oil business,
turned respectable. He became a
candidate for Congress and an
evangelist.
It there lives a man who in his
youth, or even now, did not
yearn to climb into a locomotive
cab and Casey Jones her down
the track. there must be some
doubt about his Americanism.
For all such men, and ladies who
are interested, Robert s. Henry
wrote This Fascinating Rail
road Business" (Bobbs-Merrill:
$3.50, just about as complete
and readable a work on the sub
ject as you will find.
You will learn that the first
private coach built for a presi-
dent became Lincoln's funeral
train: the first train was pulled
on a track in Wales in 1904; you
can have a locomotive pulling
cars but it's no train according
to Association of American Rail
roads rules unless it displays
markers-flags or colored Ian
terms: Germany backed up its
blitz on Poland with 40 railroad
lines; and Pullman cars bear
those funny names SO that rail
readers can tell by the prefix
or suffix the interior arrange
