NEWARK, N. 1.-THE 55-year-
old North American Accident
Insurance Company announces
a new policy that pays $25 a
week for stated sickness and
accidents, both. Plus an addi-
,tional $25 a week for any acci-
dent requiring hospital care.
Yet the total cost is only $12 a
year. The purpose Of this new
Double-Duty Limited Policy is
to bring sickness and accident
protection within the reach of
men and women who do not
have large savings with which
to meet sudden doctor or hos
pital bills. or lost income.
This new plan also has a
double indemnity feature cov-

policyholder you receive $50 q

Of the Axis transports.
1t is reported that Marshal
Rommel's presence in Berlin last
Wednesday was not due exclu-
slvely to Hitler's desire to show
him to the German people. Ac-
cording to reports from Europe,
the field marshal wanted to
impress on the Fuehrer the
urgent necessity OF getting at
least the French merchant ton
mage which is now lying idle In
the Mediterranean or is being
used to carry food and other ma
terials from Africa to French
ports. While about 80 per cent
of these shipments find their way
into Germany and Italy, the
African commander deemed 1t
more urgent at this time to have
these vessels used as troop and
supply ships for the army in
Egypt and Libya.
Laval Not Opposed.
French Chief of Government
Laval is reliably reported to have
offered no opposition to this plan,
which was presented to him by
Fernan de Brinon, liaison officer ,.
between the French government .
and the Nazi authorities in Paris.
The conditions which make the
transfer Of the French men-of-
war to the Nazis or make their
collaboration with the Axis dif-
f1cult do not exist as far as the
merchantmen are concerned. The
crews are composed Of men of
various races, including Arabs,
who regard their work in q purely
commercial light. --

what reinforcements are arriv-

cause 1t is almost impossible for
Allied authorities to interfere

These are generally used as in

The Nazi field marshal is fully
aware that unless amply provided
with replacements Of ali kinds,
his next offensive may be
failure. Hence his insistence
that Hitler obtain the bulk of the
French Mediterranean merchant
fleet to transport the men and
materials which have been

in order to lure the reader to keep
going.
I do not subscribe to this theory.
I am of the old school. Say what
you have to say in as few words as
possible. No padding. No purple
patches. No windup, so to speak.
Just sit down and let fly with your
message.
Now-let's see-where was I? Oh
yes, bow ties. Now watch me give
you bow ties straight from the
shoulder. I gained the idea OF a
column on bow ties from a cor
respondent who suggested that to
save silk the Government should
ban, forbid. and throw out the four
in-hand job, and make it compul-
sorry for all American men to wear
bow ties.
The correspondent put up a whale
of an argument. He told all about
how parachutes are made of silk,
and how old ladies who. have been
accustomed to silk petticoats all
their lives must have silk, and gave
the yardage of silk that could be
saved by the substitution of the bow
tie for the flowing four in hand.

gasoline and friends named Bott.'
But when you ask Americans to
wear bow ties, you have gone too
far.
There are only about four Ameri-
cans who can tie a bow tie. One
of them is Frank Crowninshield.
Mr.. Crowninshield, who, along with
being the last Gentleman" in the
country, is the country's worst put :
ter, and has cost hundreds of his
friends hundreds of dollars by three
putting from distance less than
the width of magazine.
And, 1t takes Mr.. Crowninshield
two hours to tie his bow tie.
So 1t Is easy to imagine the time
that it takes the likes of me and
you and you and the rest of you, to
get the knot in the middle, the ends
even, and all the rest of the bow tic :
all squared up, SO that the wearer
does not look as if he were an early !.
model of the Wright Brothers
Kittyhawk plane.
The introduction of the bow tic
will come close to ending all war
work in this country. Men will have
time for nothing else. The tying
OF bow tie is q work that requires
hours. First, man must LOOK all
around for some one who can tie

the same answer: Il can tie them
on myself, brother, but not on any

The worst thing is to find d man
who says he can tie q bow on an
other man. This is awful. He comes
up behind you like Stranger Lewis.
He puts strangle hold on you. He
throws you to the floor. He fights
you. He refuses to give you up.
After Is minutes he says, II can't
understand 1t. I always tie mine
all right"
Men. let us fight to the hilt this
bow tie business. The only man who
ever tied one easily and properly Is
a man who has constructor
blood in his veins. And what sort
OF country is a country that has
to depend on men who have B. C.

In Warrington the facts Of life
are the Government itself.
Therefore all the struggles OF life
occur inside the Government.
This isolation also creates q
certain society. In this it re-
sembles q university town, where
society consists Of professors and
instructors and their wives,
where the social atmosphere
dinner parties, teas, the various
functions where men and women
meet each others permeated
with the interests of q single
group-university people.
In q normal city there is q
constant interplay Of interests,
and one meets, day by day, in
dustrtahsts. artists, oficials,
teachers, physicians and all sorts
and conditions of men, each Of
them with radii into different
parts Of the social body, each Of
them coming from one sphere
into another and passing back
into the first again, so that there
is a normal social circulation of
the blood and a constant cor
rection and adaptation of one
viewpoint to another viewpoint,
In Washington, since there is
no normal intercourse, the out
side world enters in the form
OF lobbyists-ambassador from
groups in the Nation to the Capt.
tai; out of this a sort of diplo-
matte competition arises as to
who Is the ambassador of the
strongest power. A shrewd dip
1omat-with good expense ac-
count-becomes clever in estab-
fishing contacts; in learning who
can be played OF against whom;
and eventually the domestic life
OF the Nation becomes about rs
complicated as foreign policy.
Coalitions Paramount.
And the leading problem in
foreign af1airs-how to wage a
war of, coalition-becomes a do
mestic problem-how to make a
domestic coaltion-instead of the
real problem: How can we create
a united nation for the purpose
of waging war?
Now, in decentralizing himself
for few days, the President took
a step in the right direction. In
the Arabian Nights there is the

ventures, came back and knew

sort lmpelled the President to be
as incognito as possible.
AS for the rest of the problem,
I don't know the answer except
that we should decentralize our
bureaucracy-decentralize 1t. to
the point where, once a clear
policy has been laid down, de-
cisions can be made all over the
country and far away from
Washington. %xE
As 1t is we are running the
Nation as though it were a great
chain store concern in which
every sales slip had to go back to
the central ONCE for conf1rma-,
tion before one could conclude
the transaction. And the central
office becomes concerned with
the sales slips-with the pieces of
paper-instead of with the life of
the Nation. The papers take on a
life of their own and the Gov
ernment tends to believe that the
war is waged with the papers.

Of ships and shoes and sealing wax,
and cabbages and kings"
I hadn't met the commander in
chief before, but I came away with
most comfortable feeling Of con-
f1dence that our front line offensive
against Hitlerism IS in strong, ca
pable hands. One recognized, of
course, that it is risky to pin faith
to first impressions, and I'm re-
minded of remark Senator Borah
made about F. D. r.
Someone asked the Senator if he
had heard certain speech by the
President. AS I recall it, Senator
Borah replied, he never dared listen
to Mr.. Roosevelt because the latter's
hypnotic personality was likely to
convince hearers against their bet
ter judgment.
Hypnotic Personality.
Well, Gen. Ike" as the troops
call him. has a hypnotic personality.
That infectious laugh Of his, which
sets of to advantage his strong
white teeth, is in itself a great
asset and is calculated to disarm the
enemy.
Still, having seen the way he looks
you straight in the eye. having ex-
perienced the quickness and logic
Of his mind, having heard Of his
good works from close observers,

make it Unanimous you can add
that British authorities not only
like him but hold him in high es-
TEEN as a soldier.
So, having had this glimpse of the
general, one no longer is surprised
he is commander -in-chief in Eu-
rope at the comparatively young
age Of 81. And there's no longer
any wonder at the way he zoomed
up from the rank of colonel to lieu

There are advantages and dis

they have built Canberra of the
main stream of Australian life.
The idea was that one great
center should not profit over
other cities by the presence of
the government, and that the
nation should be administered in
the purity of monastery. 81
But by this fact, contact is lost
with real life. Some one has said
that Washington is the greatest
company town on earth. And
that is true-it is a city with just
one industry, the industry of
governing.
Company Towns Arrogant.
Such company towns are known
to be arrogant; they are furious
against any sort of outside &C
tion that might disturb them;
sometimes they arrest people who
come from outside to criticize,
to report, or to organize workers,
or otherwise to intervene"
And, at the same time, they
are suspected by the rest of the
towns ..... ..
There is a certain element Of
this about Washington. If our
Capital were In New York or
Chicago. the one or the other
would certainly be jealous; con-
centrated in Washington 1t can
command the love and respect
Of residents of all other cities,
without envy. That was the
idea.
But this has not been the ac-
tual result. The people tend to
look at Washington, not as a
city impartially near to every
body, but as a center impartially
far away from everybody; / icity
whose chief raw material is
per, whose chief products are

reaucratic rules and regulations
are apparently made without the
slightest conception of their ef-
feet upon the "outside world"
into which they are issued.

with the RAJ, have shown that
tho defenses Of the Egyptian
line are by no means & pushover.
Marshal Rommel's failure to
reach Alexandra during his Of
fensive last summer, after the
fall Of Tobruk, was due to the
fact that fresh troops could not
reach him from the mainland in
time to press his initial advan-
tage. Even If men and war ma
terial had been available in Italy
there was not enough tonnage
to take them over quickly.
Italian Losses Heavy.
The italian merchant marine

the Italians have not been able
to replace. Their yards are re-
ported to be working on replace

is not enough steel and other
essential materials in II Duce's
homeland to allow both naval
and merchant vessels to be built
speedily.
Marshal Rommel, who is known
to take long chances whenever
the situation justif1es it, is ap-
parently planning now to resume
his offensive operations with an
overwhelming force, in tanks and
