Insects breathe through pores in

they have no lungs, and in our sense
of the word, no noses. Slight di-

A Nations Shame;
The Easy-MOney Boys
by BILL CUNNINGHAM

NEW YORK - Now the 1920
age draft law and the so-called
victory tax bill are practically
matters of record, the rationing
of manpower, voluntarily or ar
bitrarily. is the next order of ma
tional business.
We might as evil have it out,
for the showdown is overdue,
and the sooner 1t comes, the soon
er we'll know whether we have a
nation or a pre-Vichy France.
The present arrangement
doesn't make any sense. It's fan
tastically and alphabetically dan
gerous. The best. and strongest
and bravest we have march forth
to face death for $50 month
while the rest can take advantage
Of the situation to play horses

Nobody should get rich and
nobody should waste any money.
II anybody's entitled to fancy
salaries. 1t should be the soldiers.
They're taking the risks. It's they
VINO suffer and die.
That's the straight sports law
on it. Any deviation from that
plain, straight line may be
something, but it's not defensible.
We're II months into a global
war and our home picture is as
fantastic as a drunken dance
held in the partitioned half of
morgue.
The best are going, while their
sweethearts weep and their
mothers pray; yet saloone, broth
els and clip points the nation over
were never in such flower.
Why?
Because, they'll tell you joy
cusly, there's so much money
around. "War worker money. It's
practically one continuous New

Certainly, know they need re.
taxation, but how muhc relaxation
do you suppose they're having
these days and nights on Guadal-
canal? They're Americans, too,
aren't they - or are they?
Remember Bataan?
The fancy wages in war plants,
and in civilian businesses forced
to compete with war plants for
help, are readying this home front
for crash that may ring through
the centuries. Anybody familiar
with the problem of help in these
times can cite you a half dozen
instances from their personal ex-
periences.
know half dozen typical
cnes myself. They concern people
who suffered through the depres-
sion years with little. and boys in
their late teens who've never had
a job.
Now they're in "big money
and they've simply gone crazy.
They really consider the war a
wonderful thing. They've no idea
OF its responsibilities or, inciden-
TALLY, of their own.
They aren't equipped to handle
money. They couldn't cara a
tenth of what they're getting in
normal competition. And they're
just that far from knowing what
to do with it.
Many Of them have thrown up
slowpoke Jobs in stores and shops

school.
He completed the course, and
I'm in no position to say he
wasn't good welder. He proba-
bly, was. That has nothing TO do
with the moral of the story.
At any rate, the union abosrb-
ed him, and ne went to work in
one of our biggest local war
plants at something like 500 a
week.
He hadn't been there long be-
fore somebody told him there was
much bigger pay-scale at an
other major plant. so he jumped
the job he had and signed on
with the second place at semo-
thing like $145 a week.
He worked hard and l1oked it,
but it wasn't all work. He began
TO blossom out personally mad
socially. He started taking a
drink. He began playing the hor-
ses.
He decided he needed car. He
was war worker and was thus
entitled to one. So he bought him
self a roadster.
He used to come around the
old drugstore whenever he could,
park his swell car in front of it,
and order his old boss to mix him
coke, or serve him a package of
cigarettes, never rendering less
than $40 bill in payment, and
being pretty deliberate about it,
so everybody could see.
This went along for a spell
and then somebody told him
about a plant down in New Jersey
where they paid even higher
wages, so he threw up his second
job without notice and drove
down to see about it.
He was a war worker. He was
entitled to use rubber adm gaso-
line, WASH: he?

some reason. and he drove back

at a dead end because he couldn't

places. They don't bother with
