But unless we act, it will be
crushed under the heel of Japan'S

turn the whole great force of Asia

If this should happen we should

take, being made at the moment,
of supposing that the chief
theater Of the war lay in Europe.
They will see quite plainly
the great historical fact which

that this war ushered in THE
PACIFIC ERA.
Japan has set out TO build a
new Asia on pattern of ruthless

easily be the best supplied empire

strongest in all history.

The Locator, NurSep

The surgeon knows they must
come out-at once-%if the wounded
man is TO live. But how? They
cannot be located by an ordinary
metal surgical probe. Nor is there
time for X-ray photos.
Through the gauze mask that
covers his nose and mouth, the
surgeon speaks:
THE locator, NURSE
A nurse quickly places small
black box, looking much like a
portable radio receiver, on a stand
beside the operating table.
The surgeon picks up a metal
rod connected with the box by a
wire.
He passes the point over the
wound area. A needle on a dial on
the face of the box riSes-fluctu-

makes a pencil mark on the pa

Roses Need Attention at This Time.

an incentive TO produce new
wood. This you do by cutting
back the various stems 10 the
nearest strong growing bud.
The cut should be made above
the bud and close TO it-mads
with very sharp pruning
shears and made clear-no edges
hanging. no skin broken.
Side shoots will come from
this bud and new flowers Will
be produced on these shoots. A
good feeding with complete
fertilizer is sensible accom-
paniment 10 the pruning.
The polyanthas should have
been cut back in spring as de-
scribed above and right now the
dead blooms should be cut of
and the plants well fed.
The climbing roses are
grouped as ramblers which are
generally small Powered and the
climbers which have larger
blooms. Ramblers bloom only on
new wood. Directly after. they
finish blooming new shoots will
come from the bottom of the
plant. Feed and protect these,
and when they are large enough,
cut back all canes but these.

ARE YOUR roses done with

your garden looking rather
dull? Now's the time 10 per-
form the operation for future
bloom, whether for this year or
next.
Roses are commonly divided
into three classes shrub
roses, bedding roses and climb
ers. Shrub roses include most
of the species sorts and their
hybrids such as the yellow rose
of China (R. hugoniS) and the
rugoSa- roses,
The oldtime roses are gener-
ally in this class too-the moss
roses and, the old HarriSon'S yell

These require no pruning eX-
cept removal of dead and very
old wood. More pruning than
this is not at all desirable, so let
well enough alone
The bedding roses include the
hybrid perpetualS, the hybrid
teas, the polyanthaS tbaby ram

are classed as iloribunda roses.

All burned up about the Maine,

something has happened Some
thing we never expected.
While we've been working
away at our jobs. the years have
crept up on us the enthusi-
assn has cooled down in us. We
didn't know it was happening.
We felt, and still feel. as young

Know Courage

We can still run our homes
and our shops as efficiently as
ever. When il comes TO a long
pull, we have more endurance
than our own children and
grandchildren. We have learned
the secret of true courage,
learned to look Life in the face
:. and spit in its eye, if neces-
Sary.
Our brains are sharper than
they were 20 years ago and our
wits are l;eener. But the public,
looking at our gray hairs and
wrinkles, thinks we're waShC /
up,
We're not washed up, That's
why I'm writing you today
you who are working over your
stoves or behind your counters
or factory benches, with a sick
establishment gnaWing at your
heart. We're not washed up,
we who have seen and made
history.
We have still a job TO do, the
greatest job on earth. Our
bodies aren't as light as they
were. Personally I'm hunched
up with an AL case of lumbago
as ] write this. But there's no
lumbago in my mind or my
Spirit-or in yours.
There's a knowledge no kid
can possess, a poiSe no juvenile
youngSter has achieved. We
have seen America made and
we have helped in the making.
Our Duty
And now it is up to us to keep
the faith which made America.
We cannot fight at the front.
physically. But we can fight
behind the lines where the
struggle is even more impor-
tant. These youngsters of whom
we are so proud may defend
America.
But il is up to us to remem-
Der what America means TO
know what America needs
to know that if America is
licked, Gods greatest plan for
man will be dealt a mortal
blow.
Ours is the second front. the
home front. 1t isn't as eXcit-
ING to be working on the home
front as it would be flying on
the first front or diving in a
submarine or firing guns on a
destroyer.
Yet the bubbling OF that tea
kettle and the measuring of
those yard goods arc as essen
tial TO American democracy as
the horror and clamor of the
battle front.
For a war is not won by guns
II is won by faith and loyalty
Faith in goodness and friendl-
ness and fair play loyalty
to those glimpses of God which
come TO us even in our weakest
moments.
