Against all this we are pitting the
ideals which have grown out OF
Christian faith. The blessings we
are enjoying in the form of personal
freedom. the right to achieve our
highest destiny, the opportunity to
participate in self-government -
these things have grown out of our
religion. Democracy is the applica-
zion in the field Of government OF
certain principles which have their
origin in the field OF religion. Chris
tian liberty has been the precursor
OF civil liberty. Men have risen
against tyranny because they be-
lieve in the Fatherhood OF God and
the divine worth and dignity OF
man.
The present world struggle, there

words of the citation which ac-
companied Commander Gilmore's
post-humous Medal Of Honor
Struck down by the bullets and
having done his utmost against the
enemy, in his final living moments
Commander Gilmore gave his last
order to the officer Of the deck,
Take her down"
The three short words OF that Or
der conjure up as perfect picture
Of heroism as any In the annals Of
warfare. For Commander Gilmore
there was no possibility OF safety
except within his submarine. Yet
neither the pain Of wounds nor the
confusion of battle by night caused
the officer TO lose command of his
ship or Of himself What swift CAL
culation Of chances passed through
his mind We cannot know, only the
resolute conclusion: Take her
down." And so a gallant life was
lost; gallant ship saved; an i'm
perishable example given the Amer
lean Navy and the American people.

This Is Your Cue

One $1875 war bond will pay for fur

80 caliber semi-automatic rifle for a
Marine who is going to help establish a

TAKE HER DOWN"

1t is no easy matter to measure
courage in war. Where all face
death; where blood chilling peril
may come in a confused instant OF
conflict, or constant danger live
with men in foxholeS. on shipboard
or in the stormy skies, the margin
that separates the hero from the
good average fighting man is slim
indeed. Only by some approximation
Of the odds faced. OF the chances of
life or death, can standards of hero
ism be established.
Yet there are instances, and not
few of them. OF absolute courage,
wherein men do not risk death, but
meet the certainty of II; choose II.

New Worry

One danger which Anglo-American
diplomats are seeking to avert, in connec-
ton with the Russo-PoliSh dispute, is the
creation of a Soviet puppet government
in Poland, rivaling Premier Sikorski'S
commandments in London.
This could cause as unfortunate
mixup as Moscow's sponsorship of an in
dependent, diScordant military movement
in Jugoslavia against the recognized or
ganization of General Mikhailovtch.
Such split would be more harmful than
any effort on Hitler's part to find Polish
Quisling.

UNDERSTANDING IN INFANCY
The mandible or lower Jaw Of
every baby is considerably under
slung or retracted at birth and re-
mains so for several months.
Shortly before and during the cut
ting or eruption Of the first baby
teeth, particularly the first incisors
and the first molars, the infant nor
mally feels the urge to bite on the
everything gum. But due to the fact
that the gum line OF the lower Jaw
Is 50 far back of the gum line of
the upper jaw at this age, such nat
ural pressure upon or stimulation Of
the gums can be effected only
slightly by protrusive and side to
side movements of the lower Jaw
which the young infant does not too
readily learn to do. More effective
Is inserting foreign object or Il
finger or thumb in the mouth and
working away on II.
That Is why so many babies pass
the time, when not mapping, feeding
or raising ruckus generally, In suck
Ing finger or thumb.
A child sucked her thumb from
the time she was IL years old I'M
til she was ga years old. AT Is
months her teeth were In perfect
position. Casts made during and
after the thumb sucking showed no
disturbance OF the alignment Of the
teeth or the shape OF the jaws. Her
brother started sucking his index
finger when he was months old,
and continued sucking and biting
the finger until he was 10 months
old. A cast made at nine months
showed some displacement OF left
upper incisors, and a cast at seven
teen months, four months after the
child had spontaneously stopped
sucking the finger showed partial
spontaneous correction. Al two years
the ehild's teeth we're In perfect
alignment,
A child began thumb sucking at
the age OF one month. Al the age
OF two months casts showed n space
between the two gum pads Some
dentists have held thumb sucking
responsible for such q condition
but j. II, Sillman, D. d. S., IN, Y.
state Jour. OF Medicine ll-lH2)
finds such n space between the gum
pads In so per cent OF babies at
birth. At 10 months and again at
two years the child, still sucking
thumb only more than ever, had no
more than a slight rotation of lat
cral inciSors--Whieh was not caused
by the thumb sucking, as his brother
and sister who never sucked their
fingers, had the same rotations,
In one case mentioned by DR., Sill
man. child sucked his thumb 30
vigorously from eight months to 80
months that caloluS developed on
the thumb. The thumb sucking con-
tInued, and at the age Of SO months
there was marked protrusion OF the
front upper teeth, Now the dentist
explained to the boy that sucking
was making his teeth stick out. The
boy said IT don't want TO have
crooked teeth. ! won't suck my
thumb any more" He quit and nj
five years OF age the deformity was
spontaneously corrected.

Translated into terms of wear
these changes In the quality OF the
shoes you buy may mean that the
shoes will last you only two-thirds
as long as the pre-war shoes you
bought at the same price. Trans
lated into what 1t costs you TO keep
yourself shod, IL means that there
is hidden price increase Of 80 per
cent, for you must buy four pairs o!
shoes to give you the service you got
before from three pairs,
ARMY HAS PRIORITIES
This hidden price increase Is not
the fault of the shoe store and, on
many points, 1t Is not the fault OF
the manufacturer. The Army has
prioritieS on the best grades OF
leather. War Production Board llmi-
tation and conservation orders have
specified that Soles may not be over
certain thicknesseS, TO save leather
and make the supply 60 farther.
Dyes have been limited TO certain
specific colors. Rubber heels are
made OF reclaimed rubber. MAN.
power shortages and the contracts
for millions OF pairs OF shoes for the
Army and Navy have necessarily
had their effects on The quality Of
workmanship going into civilian
shoes,
Hidden price increases, therefore,
Go not represent any Willlul con-
spracy on the part Of the shoe
manufacturers TO hand you the
wcll-known gyp, For your part,
however, here Is recognizable In
crease In your costs OF living, and
you are entitled TO ask what can be
done about that?
Hidden price increases are not
confined to shoes alone. Garbage
pals are made OF thinner metal
under WPB restriction, kitchenware
with thinner enamel, shirts with
shorter tails, while underwear and
pajamaS are skimpier, not full cut.
These and dozens or hundreds OF
other cost OF living items have hid
den price increases which present
u concealed problem OF imitation.
NEED FOR PRICE
SCHEDULES
The question which this poses for
the Office OF Price Administration,
II 1t Is TO prevent initiation and
check the rise In the cost of living
Is one OF issuing more specific dol
lars-and- maximum price
schedules and writing into the Or
ders minimum specifications on
quality for each price line, so that
consumers will know what they are
getting
II this floor Is put under quality
as ceilings are put over prices, this
action will be limited to those COM
modities which are necessary and
those which are important Mini
mum quality standards would not
be set Tor fur coats, but they would
be set for knit underwear,
There are today minimum stand
ard specifications written into the
maximum price orders on some two
dozen commodities.
The list may grow. The policy
does not envisage the elimination of
trade names OF brands. Also there
are some qualities on which speci-
flcations can't be written. You can't
measure the wear of a silk dress,
for instance, nor give any assur-
ance of how long it will be In style.

Tuberculosis

Niece, II, graduating from high
school in June, was given skin test
and X-ray. and the report said she
has tuberculosis but the germ is in
active. Sanatorium doctor where
the X-ray was made said she'll
probably be all right but If she
catches more colds or begins to lose
weight to return to him at once.
She had frequent colds all winter.

your niece to place herself under the

lily physician or any physician in

Italy Won't

Berlin says that Rome newspapers
have suggested that captured American
and British airmen be executed, in
Japanese fashion, in reprisal for a raid
in which they participated against a
suburb Of Rome.
This is just talk. The Italians are
made of different stuff than the Japs.
They are fundamentally civilized. They
have sense of justice. And unlike
the Japs they would be deferred by
concern about the welfare of their men
who are our prisoners.

Selected Poem
COLTsFooT ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACK

(Dionis Coffin Riggs in the New York Times)
{ wonder why the early sprngtme sun
Lights with such gayety this dreary spot
Though dewy-eyed with raindrops, Quaker dressed,
Spring shines against the rusty brick and dun
Stone towers, and paints them with the polygot
Ephemeral tints of magic. Perhaps quest
For that fair island where arbutuS sleeps
Beneath the crumpled, snow-soaked Autumn leaves
Where shadbush waits to veil the sea-scarred wood
And wndhowers hutter on their fragile stems
leads Spring this barren way, and Kindness keeps
Her lingering here along the ties. She grieves
over the sooty track. She shakes her hood
And coltsfoot spills like golden diadems

The result is that gardens are like
ly to be protected with poison in
order to keep intruders away.
This recourse Is not defensible,
but the gardeners will say that the
depredations of the dogs aren't

to keep their pets within the bounds
