Reasons

There are reasons for coarse,
aging necks and we believe the
main one is permitting the over
fullness that results in double
chins. This means fine tissues
have been stretched beyond
their normal contours. Double
chins can be reduced but it
takes a lot of time and care TO
restore original contours and
firm stretched skin.
Exercise will prevent this
stretching. provided one is not
gaining weight all over the body.
Overweight will be sure to show
in the neck. We know there are
a few exceptions to this as we
occasionally see those whose
bodies are definitely fat retain
their slender necklines. They
are just fortunate and no one
can tell them why they are so
favored.

lieve that, on the basis of today's Anglo American battlefield suc- cesses, the war is as good as won. NAZIs PLANT RUMORS
 Reliable reports of this new psychological warfare undertaken by the Goebbels propaganda forces have been received in London from secret sources inside the Reich.
 Nad secret agents abroad are known to be instlgating whisper ing campaigns about Germany's "rottenness within" Rumors of serious unrest inside the Reich are being planted in and relayed from neutral sources" @ now familiar German propaganda tech nioue. Similar news" apparently is being permitted to escape" to frontier towns in Switzerland, Fur key and elsewhere-all for dis semination to America and the British Empire.
 HOPE FOR SHOWDOWN

inspire a general feeling of over- confidence which they hope may spread into the Anglo-American armed forces themselves.
 All this propaganda is being scat- tered by word of mouth rather than by radio for the reason that Naz broadcasts to foreign countries have a way of bouncing back, occasional- ly, into Germany itself. And there other branches of the Berlin propa- ganda ministry are engaged in dis pensing just the opposite sort of messages to the German people.
 The Hitlerlan propaganda export CTS are immeasurably aided, this time, by the fact that there is at least tiny, wiggly germ of truth in the idea that Germany may crum- ble within. The wishful thinkers know that this is what happened In the last war when the going got tough for the Kaiser's legions, and they realize that the war-wearinesS of the German people today must have become extra-acute in recent weeks.
 Military analysts here, however are convinced that only a direct physical attack upon Germany pro- per-and a crushing defeat admin istered perhaps at the cost of hum dreds of thousands of Allied lives

; Despite considerable strength and the urging of many of his ardent supporters, Bradley has consistent ly refraine dfrom acknowledging any desire for the post. Pressure of his law practice and the desire to complete his program as State chairman are said to be the factors in his staying out of the race.
 Chester, how:ver. has been one of the more recent candidates men, tioned since the various factions of the Republican national setup start ed to cast about for "darkhorSe" neutral without definite affiliatoin with any group or any potential candidate for the party presiden- tial omination. Although he has naver been one of the publicized figures in Republican political cir- cleS, Chester has been one of the keenly interested figures in Repub- lican affairs for several years. Some time ago efforts were made to bring him into the National Committee as an official and he was men, toned for the Craftsmanship of the Finance Committee of the party.
 Bradley and Mrs. Kitfield will leave from New York at g o'clock tomorrow morning. They will travel with other members of the Nation- al committee including Robert P. Burroughs of New Hampshire, Sim clair Weeks of Massachusetts and Major Stuart w. Cramer, Jr. of Cramerton. North Carolina, proxy for Charles Jonas. committeeman from North Carolina.

 Though sharing the feeling q ths man In the street that tho see UR war at last has turned, they ere uisA der no illusions that . democratic victory wilr De easy or quick or even certain. While the Germans most siffely were caught off balance by the unexpected strength of the nril- ish onslaught In Egypt and by tho surprise American descent upon Mo- rocco and Algeria, they in turn have shown an ability to reinforce their tattered divisions In Llbya and to pour themselves heavily into Tull.- sia.
 STILL HAVE NARROWER
 It also is recalled that even though so German divisions may have been smashed in the Russian fighting and several others demolished in Africa. Hitler always has been credited with having 320 divisions under arms . which leaves him still with a great reservoir of manpower for the con- tinuance of the war. Too. the Eu- ropean Channel coast is strong, the Mediterranean is wide--and there ss fanatical Japanese ally at Hitler's side.
 Above all else, however, realistic observers here believe the Germans will go on fighting to the last be- cause of a mounting terror of the fate that might be meted out to them by victorious and vengeful enemies-the tortured Poles and Czechs, the wrathful Russians, the blitzed Britons, the humiliated Scau- dinavians, the exploited French, the hard boiled Tanks.

LET'S HAVE 4 TAX PROGRAM
BASED ON COMMON SENSE

We all know that taxes are going to
be higher, that they will have to be high
er if we are to win the war. We are all
willing to pay our share, even when 1t
hurts. without complaining.
1t is not against the necessity that we
complain; it is against theory which
refuses to face facts and apply the tax
program on a factual basis.
Many corporations and many individ-
uals are earning from two to a hundred
times more than they were earning a
year ago. They are profiting from the
war effort. They should and must be
taxed, and taxed heavily.
We believe, however, that any tax pro-
gram finally approved in Washington
should take into consideration the fact
that there are a lot of people who have
already made financial sacrifices far out
of proportion to the national picture.
The man who was earning $4,000 a year
two years ago. and is still earning $4,000
a year, has already been forced to make
a greater sacrifice than will ever be exact
ed from the other man whose earnings
have been increased from $4,000 year
two years ago to $1,000 or $4,000 year
this year.
The corporation which has lost nine
tenths of its last years profits already,
and has no chance to make any more un-
til the war is over, has sacrificed more
than the corporation which has suddenly
become big business" because Of the
war
We're willing to pay taxes, and high
taxes at that-but we'd like to see a real
istic approach to the tax problem, and
not one which assumes that everybody
is getting rich overnight, just because
there is d war on.

PROTESTS MOVING JAPS
(San Bernardino SUM

The average American is proud of his
constitutional rights and is willing when
the necessity arises to lay down his life
for them, but there are those among US
who often run down blind alleys in rush
ing to defend hallowed privileges.
Such might be the case of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties union, California
branch in taking up the cudgel for Amer
ican citizens of japanese ancestry, con-
tending that their summary evacuation
from defense areas is illegal under con-
stitutional guarantees.
Unless things are going on that have
not been called to public attention, Japa
nese evacuees are being treated with con-
sideration and kindness. They are not
being removed to the interior by brute
force, but with expert supervision and at
tention. There is no evidence of distress
and the apanese-Americans are cooper
ating fully. Constitutional rights are
guaranteed under constitutional gov
ernment and unless our democracy is
preserved there will be no rights for any
person, including those who operate the

ANH-INFLATiON
TAX VICTIMS

Unless the federal administration and
the United States treasury department
get over the idea that everybody" is
making a lot more money out of the war
effort, about half the people of the Unit
ed States are going to be faced with
crisis worse than the deepest days of
the depression
We're talking about taxes.
The treasury, with administration
backing, has operated on the theory that
income taxes which drain away some
times as much as half of the total earn
ings of workers will tend to prevent in
flaton. Additionally, as part of the
same program, the treasury wants to
take 80 per cent or more of the profits of
all corporations, still on the theory that
this will prevent initiation by preventing
people from having an excess of money
TO spend above what they have in normal
times.
The whole program is based on the
theory that everybody is making about
double. or more than double, what they
were earning a year or so ago. As far
as 1t applies to people who are actually
doing so, the program may be a good
one
The trouble is that a vast portion of
the American people are not only earning
no more than they were year ago, but
are actually earning far less in dollar
value. Their wages and salaries are the
same, but they have to pay far more to
live. Their standard of living has been
reduced already If taxes come along
which deprive these people of big share
OF what they are now earning, they will
be -stricken-nOthing less.
1t is the same with thousands of small
corporations which are not getting war
contracts, and cannot get them because
of the very nature Of the corporations
In many cases these corporations, such
as automobile sales agencies have had
their earnings reduced so sharply
that they are all but out of business. Up
on them, added taxes will fall as a death
blow
