Purpose AND EFFECT
Measuring Not Much

The currents produced by flowing
gasoline are so small that an ordi-
nary meter will not measure them,
says Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry. To make these meas
urements in the field, it was neces-
sary to design an instrument which
would be rugged and portable, op-
crate under conditions of severe vi
bration, and yet measure very small
currents. The development of the
modern vacuum tube used in radio
sets made such a meter possible.

she was not afraid to sit in the
cross-current of air from the porch.
'She talked for five minutes about
the sample of paint they have tried
on the garage and said she was sure
it was not what she had chosen.
Then she made Elinor put on a
sweater, asked me where we could
move if we couldn't get oil for the
furnace this winter, asked me twice
whether l had put an air-stamp on
a letter I had mailed, asked me
for the third time whether the Bak-
ers were coming to dinner on Thurs
day, said she wished she could call
it off before it was too late as she
hated to tackle dinner for six with
no assurance of having a cook in
the kitchen.
"After that I left for the office
feeling as if I were being bitten to
death by ducks. The moment I got
there May was on the telephone;
Elinor had gone off to school with
out her rubbers, and May thought
rain was blowing up. Also, had
seen her opera glasses? Not that
she needed them, but she'd sudden
ly thought of them and couldn't find
them anywhere.
This may sound funny to you,"
the letter ends, "but it's not so funny
to your faithful reader,
"Jim Davis"
And there's postscript: But
don't fool yourself; I love my wife"
Amusing and Pathetic.
I've reprinted this letter in full
because it seems to me amusing
and pathetic and maddening all at
once. Not many women make so
thorough a job of worrying that
they worry about EVERYTHING.
Most of us have some avenues of
peaceful and contented thought to
which we can escape. Evidently
May Davis hasn't.
Winston Churchill, who, it will be
conceded, has something over which
to worry, is quoted as saying that
he has developed a priorities sys-
tenn for worrying.
He takes them one at a time, and
breaks each one in turn. It's the
old story of the father who asked
his strong young sons to break sep
arate sticks, which they did with
contemptuous ease. But when he
bound those sticks into a tight,
heavy bundle it was a different
story. His point was that brothers
united cannot be broken.
Well, the great nations of the
world are as brothers united today,
and while they hold together they
cannot be broken. The slow great
tide that is forty nations standing
shoulder to shoulder is gathering
head, and will presently flood deep
over the centers of petty hate and
spite.
And for her lesser worries May
Davis may well feel shame. This
is no time to borrow trouble from
the butchers bills of 1914 or to
honeycomb our still protected days
and ways with dangers.
If she will hold off her anxious
monologues until something evil
really occurs she will find that nine
out of every ten of her fears never
materialize.
It might be a good idea for Jim,
in kindly good nature, to list her
complaints day by day in a calen-
dar diary. Perhaps by October of
1943 she might be entertained to
read just what she was worrying
about in October, 1912 Probably
with her it is largely bad habit;
she has "always been like that" as
we say when we are e. using our
silliest weakness 5.

~ writes me that he has
L Aworrying wife. He says
she takes the greatest trouble
in the world to see that meals
are on time, and hot, and that
there are flowers on the table.
She is marvelously consider
ate about having a pencil on
the telephone table and an ex-
ira comforter at the bottom of
his bed. She dresses well and
economically and goes to a
beauty parlor twice week. He
says she entertains nicely and has
brought up their small daughter,
Elinor, carefully and lovingly. But
she worries all the time.
Elinor is nine now, and she is
beginning to droop in this atmos-
phere of constant depression, just
as Jim is. Elinor looks at her
mother piteously. "Please, Mummy,
it's not so important-it doesn't mat
ter-it'n be all right" the small girl
pleads.
"Take it easy, May" the man of
the house says cheerfully, as he
settles himself at the table. But
sooner or later both father and
daughter come under the dark spell
of the woman's mood.
Worries About Money.
''All our married life she has been
worrying about money, although
with my steady job and her own
good management we never have
been in any difficulties" Jim writes.
''The prospect of any extra expense
causes her hours of anxiety; she is
terribly afraid she will have to have
a tooth filled; she doesn't want to
call doctor just for a little burn
that sort of thing.
Her father has had heart at
tack-he is 78, and although now
restored to good health I suppose
he may someday have another. But
every time the telephone bell rings
May whispers, 'Papa!' and staggers
to answer it with her hand over her
own heart. Everything is a cause
for worry, and under and over it
all goes the great world worry,
which none of us can escape.
"This morning, for example," the
letter goes on, ''my wife somewhat
monopolized the breakfast CONVEX
sation as I was supposedly reading
the paper. But took out my pencil
and quietly noted down the variety
of things she was finding to worry
about.
''It began with the headlines; she
actually got my old mother crying
and my daughter white-faced with
terror over a picture of what would
happen to us in the days of German
occupation of quiet Kentucky town.
Then she went on to say that
probably the worst that would hap
pen to us would be financial ruin,
but she hated the thought of losing
her beautiful home and garden.
Next came Elinor's cold; it was
better, but if it got any worse my
wife would keep ner III Deu, III WHICH
case she could not rehearse for the
school play and couldn't be in it.
Elinor began nervously to cry into
her cereal.

"May then said that she was
afraid Emmy, the maid, would leave
us. she was afraid the price of beef
would soon be prohibitive; she did
not see how my business could con-
tinue much longer. She asked me
how athletes foot started, as the
sole of one of her feet felt very
tender; she begged me not to do
any business with a man named
jackson, with whom I have not the
slightest intention of doing business;

tries-forced labor from France, de-
portation of tens of thousands of
Hollanders to the east, and contract
workers from any country able to
spare few mems obvious. They
are needed to supply that extra
margin of effort for the knockout
blow the Nazis hope to deliver, and
to supply those masses of material
which second front or any other
United Nations offensive would
require.
The urgency of Hitler's need for
workers is indicated by develop
ments in France. The Vichy radio
pleaded for 10000 more skilled
workers to volunteer to 60 to Ger
many so that $4,000 French war
prisoners might be released on the
three to one ratio offered by the
Germans. There is no stampede
of applicants.

The roundup of Jews and for
eigners is to provide more workers.
but it has produced only 10000, and
in diplomatic quarters in Vichy it
was said Premier Laval had hoped
to raise $4,000.
Hollanders in considerable num-
bers were reported to be offering to
go to Germany, thereby hoping to
escape deportation to eastern ter
ritories later. Contracts offered the
Netherlanders indicated that the
increasing number of foreigners in
Germany is bringing on incidental
problems of food supply, housing
and public health. Dutch workers
are obliged to give up the Neither
lands ration cards, are informed
they must live in Germany a year
before they may buy clothing, and
must take out health insurance.
The supply of contract laborers
from Italy, Poland and South
eastern Europe was reported to be
about exhausted, so that it was to
be expected that more workers are
to be squeezed out of Norway, the
Netherlands and France, and Portu-
guese and Spaniards are welcome.

It was 16 months ago that this serio- comic drama about SniftleSs, poverty stricken, b a kc punt try whites in Georgia finally pulled up stakes after seven and a half years on Broadway and apparently called it a day So far as the Big Town was concerned. It wasn't the end of the play of course, for one of those several companies which author producer Jack Kirkland had kept crisS-crossfng the land for years kept up the good work.
 The company now on display at the Forest theater, home of the greater part of the original run, is headed by one of the actors who portrayed Jeeter Lester along the ways and by-ways for years-John Barton, uncle of James Barton, who played Jeeter on Broadway longer than any of the other four actors who essayed the role. The present production is slated for a limited engagement here before leaving for the road, it's Broadway stay depending on the box office response. Things started OH well and it may be around for some time. It's a bargain in the theater, too, for the week-night top price is $1 = 50 cents more on Saturdays and Sundays.

which is all that could be hoped for. The producers lined up good cast and spared no pains for production quality.
 The formula is a familiar one with several persons acting out the manner in which they supposedly killed no-good character bearing tl1et tile of Count. This, naturally, makes for repetition in any case and the author was not able to cover up this defect with sufficient other business to provide first class entertainment.
 Good in their roles were Clarence Derwent, Louis Hector, Le Roi Operti, Doris Dalton and Robert Allen.
 CORRECTING slight injustice: o In the recent dissertation on Oscar Serlin's announcement that the movies can have his Life With Father for a down payment of $500, 900 plus percentage, I erred in saying that the record to date for sale of movie rights was $250, 900 paid for Lady in the Dark" The record is held by the same Serlin, who got a neat $3o0000 late last season from Hollywood for the rights to John Steinbeck's 'The Moon Is Down." which was flop on Broadway.

 The story is something entirely off the beaten musical track. CrOs- by converts his farmhouse into an inn which is open only on holidays when he puts on shows to entertain patrons. He is assisted by lovely Marjorie Reynolds whom Astaire is anxious to acquire for his dancing partner. Between shows Birg in- dulges in some hilariously tricky attempts to keep Marjorie and Fred from each other.
