nourishing dishes as I have In the

me.
Every magazine and paper that
comes into our house has at least
q page devoted to scientific eating.

that has nullified all the previously
accepted textbooks. The point
spoken of with most amazement Is
that not once in their sweep through
the Southwest Pacific have the jap
anese landed at q point where
they could bring a ship alongside
a dock. Their landings all have
been on beaches, protected by naval
guns and airplanes, but with al
most no heavy land fighting equip
ment. Their whole success in fact
Is attributed to the lightness with
which their land forces have trav-
eled, in a military age in which all
the stress heretofore has been laid
on mechanization.
In contrast with an accepted
theory that 10 tons Of shipping
is required to carry. equip and sup
ply each American soldier. the jap
anese soldiers carried nearly every
thing they used-arms, ammunition,
food, digging tools-on their backs.
A statement issued by the United
States War Department confirms
this practice.
Each Japanese soldier, 1t says,
carries in a sack on his back one
days emergency rations and five
days supply of rice. Since each Is
responsible for his own cooking,
there is no waiting for hot meals
to be brought up. No special stove
or other cooking apparatus Is car
ried.
Sugar = Luxury for Japs.
Often o fire is made only once
q day, in the morning when enough
food Is cooked to last for the day.
To . considerable extent the SOL
diers live OF the country.
Often rice and salt are the only
foods. Sugar usually is procured
locally and 1t Is . luxury In the
Japanese Army"
When they advance, the Japanese
divide between bicycles and trucks.
A soldier pedals until he Is tired
and then changes places with q
truck rider. There was q tendency
at first for Allied commanders to
laugh at the little gas-operated
automatic gun, rs caliber and firing
only 30 shots At . salvo, with which
Japanese landing parties were
armed. but these have done sur
prisingly well in the face Of soldiers
using much heavier impedimenta.
As stated In the terse handout
Of our War Department, weapons
(for the Japanese) are of minor
importance compared to the ap-.
proach crawl, used until the enemy
can be leaped upon. The stress in
night operations is put on surprise,
which is gained by outflanking and
by silent movements.
The japanese troops often dig
their own trenches for use during
the night. The trench Is q boxlike
affair with space for only one per-
son."
Scope Of Attack Surprise.
The southwestward drive Of the
Japanese was no surprise. Allied
strategists had calculated that the
first Japanese move must be for
East Indian oil. What did surprise
and disconcert the opposition COM
manders was the sweeping scope
and Imagination Of the Japanese
attack, embracing ~ 1t did Pearl

expected and supposedly impossible

Former Teachers Urged to Return.
Former teachers are being urged
to return to the schoolroom. The
ban against married women teach
ers is being removed in some COM
munities.
All of these measures, however,
offer only temporary relief, as was
proved by the experience of World
War 1 when the supply of teachers
became so inadequate that the quail
ity of education was greatly reduced.
1t is we'll worth considering, new
ertheless, that efficient instruction
depends largely upon the teacher
and that fully trained teachers are

gave Harry VardOn control of ev-
cry shot in the game-up to the putt.
If Val don had been first-class putt
er he would have finished with more
U. S. and British Opens than any
two men in golf.
Both Nelson and Hogan can putt
in spells. But there is nothing con-
sistent on either side. Neither looks
like good putter, to start with.
Nelson can gear himself up higher
in big stake than Hogan can. This
may be due to the fact that Hogan
is willing to work harder through
longer stretch.
Hogan gives himself no rest. He
takes no vacations. Nelson does,
giving much less thought to tOurna-
ments that he considers not quite
SO important.
The wonder is that 135-pound Ho-
gan can take such physical and
nerve and mental beating-not only
week after week and month after
month-but also year after year.
Hogan practices endlessly, steeling
himself for every tournament. His
ability to stand up under the strain is
little short of miraculous.
If you are looking for the best shot
maker-the nod goes to Nelson.
If you are looking to the hardes'
worker-the same goes to Hogan.
And it might be mentioned tina
both can play their full share o
winning golf.

schoolbell, of the rebuffs it faces, Of
it's part in the fight. The school
army is not as large this autumn as
it usually is; some of those who
would have marched with it are in
the other army, or stand beside as
sembly lines, or pore over drafting
boards, or are busy in laboratories.
The high school, especially, will
have fewer students, fewer teach
ers; for the teachers, too, have
gone to the fighting fronts, to the
factories.
100000 Fewer Teachers.
The most serious handicap
which the schools face due to
the war is the loss of teachers.
1t is estimated that up to 100000
of them, a tenth of the total
number, are not in their school
rooms this fall.
Many of the men teachers have
joined the colors. Newly created
auxiliary forces will take many of
the women teachers, too. Many of
these still with their school classes
find that their incomes as teachers
are not within reaching distance of
the grocery basket. A teacher
whose salary is $500 a year-the
average salary paid to the teachers
of large midwestern state-ac-
cepts war industry job that may
net him three times as much money.
He may not wish to leave his pro-
fession but he and his family must
eat. There are many thousands of
teachers whose salaries are not $500
a year, but $500 or $500 a year. A
teacher who receives $500 year
will look longingly at a position in
a government office paying 81 800 a
year. She is quite likely to be quail
fed for it and quite likely to take it.
The shortage of teachers is nat
urally the most serious where the
salary schedules are lowest, as in
a southern state where the state
average last year was $3.50 for all
teachers and school officers, but
there is trek from schoolroom to
factory all over the nation.
Liz lllOoI oIcl IlllllS phase VI IIlS
teacher shortage is that it is great
est in the school subject areas that
are most vital to the war effort.
Teachers of physics, chemistry,
mathematics, manual arts and GER
tain of the biological sciences are
in great demand in war industries
and laboratories. When they leave
the classroom for such work, they
cease to train the thousands of stu
dents of mathematics and the sci
ences who are so urgently needed
by the armed forces.
Between three and four million
school children this fall will, there
fore, find the school door closed
when they arrive, or their educa-
tional opportunity considerably cur
tailed. Measures are being taken
to minimize, as far as possible, the
i'll effect of the teacher shortage.
Where students who have lost teach
ers are in the same school with
those who still have teachers,
classes are combined. This is usu-
ally not possible in rural areas
where it may be many miles from
a school without teacher to
school which has one. Even where
classes are combined, they often be-
come SO large and unwieldy that eff

But the lean Virginian or West
Virginian, product of both states,
has too many Commemorative lapses
at critical moments.
Navy Sam at times finds it diff
cult to keep his mind on the next
shot or to keep his grip on the situa-
ton through " holes. But before
going into the navy he was still the
one that always carried more than
his share of the gallery who liked to
watch an easy looking swing that
sent the ball so far and so straight.
Nelson and Hogan
Nelson and Hogan, two Texans
who came along together from FIT.
Worth, take up most of the argu-
ments. This is natural enough. In
the first place they are the two big
money winners of the year, the two
leading stars of the last two years
over a stretch of tournament play.
Hogan won the $500 open at Los
Angeles. Nelson won the Masters
at Augusta in play off against
Hogan. Hogan won the Hale Amer
lea. Then Nelson followed by win
ming the $4,000 Tam O. Shanter
scramble. The two have had one
important meeting so far.
In the Augusta National test Mel
son led Hogan by single stroke
in 80 holes of play. This margin of
course is thinner than the rubber
of toy balloon.
Hogan's tournament record in the
way of average strokes per round
and his money record for two years
has been slightly better than Mel
sons. They are tough pair to sep
arate, if you take in all the ele-
ments that go into winning golf.
Nelson has been the big stake win
ner. Hogan has yet to win nation
al title-U. S. Open or PEA.
Styles of Play
Byron Nelson, without any ques-
ton, is the best all around shot
maker in the game.
He has a greater variety than Ho-
gan can call upon. For example,
Hogan must depend upon a con-
trolled hook off the tee. Nelson, if
the occasion demands, can use
fade or a hook.
Hogan believes in banking upon
control of a more limited assert
ment, which makes concentration
an easier matter.
They are both long. Both are fine,
long iron players. But neither over

Effective Remedy

Only one remedy has much
promise of being continuously
effective. Teachers must be
paid we'll enough to enable them
to remain at teaching. This is
impossible in some states unless
the federal government partici-

schools. Educators and friends
of the schools are trying des-

SOLOMON ATTACK-A TEST

Inside fact about the attack on the
Solomon islands is that it was very
carefully planned six weeks in adj
vance, and was different from any
other naval action in the Pacific.
U. S. naval raids on the Gilbert
and Marshall islands were hit and
run affairs. There our navy had
no idea of enemy strength, but de-
pended on quick surprise hits and
speedy withdrawal.
In the battle of the Coral sea also,
we were able to take the Japs by
surprise. And in the battle of Mid
way, we knew the enemy was COM
ing, while the Japs did not know we
knew.
But in the Solomon islands battle,
our reconnaissance planes had made
advance surveys and we knew fair
ly accurately the size of the enemy
knew also that we were up against
a tough job that would exact heavy
cost.
There is every reason to believe,
too, that the Japs knew about our
preparations, because troop trans
ports cannot be loaded and brought
within striking distance without enc
my scouting planes sighting them.
Therefore, this was a real test in
more ways than one.
For instance, this was the first
time land, air and sea forces all
have co-operated in single strik-
ing force.
Upon the final outcome of that CO.
operation will depend whether the
United States follows the advice of
many high .army-navy strategists
and concentrates more on the Pa
cific than on Europe.

BRITAIN'S FUTURE

A U. S. official, back from Lon
don, tells of standing in line for
breakfast at the Hotel Waldorf. Just
ahead of him he heard an English
lady say:
CATER this war is over, we'll have
to fight war of independence to
save ourselves from becoming the
10th state of the United States"
This semi-good-natured, semi
grousing attitude, according to
Americans returned from London, is
rather typical of the apprehension
which exists as to what will happen
to Britain after the war.
There is no hostility in this, but
realistic awareness that the war is
strengthening United States ties,
and weakening British ties, with
Australia, Canada and Africa.
