Little Woman. That has been a sticker, but the other day we watched her boring spellbound over the advertisement of a Fifth Avenue (New York; store, wherein was contained dignified announcement that one Arnaud (to paraphrase the name) is available for interviews. We quote from the discreet little notice, which was headed "the Arnaud Hour"
 "In the privacy of studio, Arnaud will study your features and personality. he will give consultation lessons to his clients ..he will create individual coiffeurs from the informal to the most glamorous {. he will make an exciting, drastic change in your looks and personality. Appoint ment by letter only. 5000 an hour" (No sordid dollar sign, please note. This ap- peal is to persons of refinement and deli cacy) Arnaud, we understand, does not cut hair or wave 1t or do anything like that. Not, at least, in person during the Arnaud Hour His services are more cul- tural and inspirational. It is his function to tell our wives how they can become new women, exciting women, glamorous women-Women who will make their hus- bands feel almos: like unintentional bi- ga mists. There are suggestions for our family. We hope you like them.

A SOLDIERS RIGHTS
Christian Science Monitor

NO1lI1SUldkI OClGk1CG MOIlJtUT)
 It will remain for the American people at large to follow the exam pie of the soldier who quickly ac- cepted the apology for the blows dealt him by General Patton in the Sicilian field hospital subsequently, only sought early return to the bat tlefront and the getting on with the war. General Patton's public pen ance for striking & man in the ranks, 8 most serious offense in the services, may be taken as evidence of his recognition for the need for better control over the stresses of temper that would try to limit his usefulness as a military leader.
 The incident, moreover, is bound to bring wide assurance to Americans that humanitarian rights of even the most humble foot soldier are protected against infringement by even one of the most famous and successful Generals. How seriously would such an incident be taken in an Axis army?
 One item of regret persists. It is that this story, which has been the topic of wide discussion in Army circles since it occurred in August, should have been kept from the American people, and that even af- ter it was divulged by a radio con- mentator it should have been iln- plicitely denied by Allied Headquar- ters in North Africa. This censor hip has served no good purpose. It has only helped magnify the inci- dent out of proportion.

Who Is to Blame?

Continued controversy in the coal mines still threatens coal production. Strikes, the one contingency which the mine operators themselves admit can cause coal shortage, are now occurring for the third time within the year.
 If, as the grip of winter tightens, and as more American men fall overseas, war production is endangered by lack of coal, the people are going to want to know who is to blame for the unnecessary coal shortage. There are three possible cul- prits: labor, government, or the mine operators.
 The blame can hardly be placed on the operators and owners of the coal mines, because under the existing wartime "czar" system built up in government, they do as they are told even to the extent of handing their properties over to the government.
 Labor, however, has proved more than once that it can dictate to government in the matter of coal production. There fore, government authorities, who have total control of the coal mines and labor, must assume responsibility for mine closings. This becomes more evident each day.

Public Service

One of this country's thousands of small town newspapers has just won libel suit which, in both it's inspiration and it's result, spotlights the type of service that the nations press renders constantly, though ordinarily with less sensational outcome The little city of Tonawanda, near Buffalo, N. Y, is a 100 per cent war community. That is to say, every factory in that industrial con- munity is war plant. Yet up to the be- ginning of 1942 Tonawanda had a mayor who was much less than 100 per cent for those ideals that the United States is fighting to maintain. A banker and politician powerful in lis small field his activities had brought from the head of the FBTS German section in that area the statement: If Mayor Warren were only naturalized citizen we would take his citizenship away iron, him.
 In the 1941 election the Tonawanda Evening News went on the Warpath against Mayor Warren Charles E. Hewitt, Jr., it's publisher and editor, a former foreign correspondent and maga- zine writer, drafted a full-page advertise ment which was sponsored by Com mittee of Patriotic Republican Leaders," advising votes for the Democratic can- didate. This advertisement recalled, among other things, Mayor Warren's re- fusal to cooperate in housing of the war workers and his statement to represen- tative of the governor: "If the govern ment was smart it would make deal with Hitler now and we would all go back to making money" AS a result of the News campaign, Mayor Warren and Publisher Hewitt agree, the mayor lost. He was defeated by vote of 1879 to 2443 in city which has three Republi- cans for every Democrat. He sued for libel Publisher Hewitt sued for cross libel.
 Hewitt and his newspaper won both suits = six cent nominal verdict which left the mayor in the doghouse assessed with all costs of the trial This is the sort of public service that small town news paper can render, when occasion arises. Does it pay? Apparently it does. In an area with around 10000 inhabitants, the News circulation has risen since the be- ginning of 1941 from 4296 to 7146 We mention this episode not because it is unique but because, except for it's ability to be wrapped into one-editorial bundle, it is typical of why free press is the truest bulwark of functioning democracy.

ANTI-SUBsIDY VOTE
(Hartford Courant)


 Connecticut's delegation in the House of Representatives was sol- idly recorded for the bill extending the life of the Commodity Credit Corporation with its ban against food subsidies. Considering that party lines did not hold firmly in the 278 to IF defeat for the admin istration it is interesting to note that the states hundred per cent Republican delegation should be found unanimously in the afflrma- tive column. Furthermore, this stand was taken despite the fact that the proponents of food subsid- ies have been claiming that they are of special benefit to industrial areas such as most of Connecticut is.
 Our representatives are to be con- graduated for not being Stampeded by the arguments bordering on in- inhalation or by considerations of their own political fortunes. More over, if the administration makes an honest and earnest effort to es- tablish and enforce reasonable price ceilings. should it eventually lose its fight for subsidies, we doubt if there will be any political recrimin- ations. The American people know that it is absolutely impossible for everybody to subsidize everybody and have everybody profit by such financial legerdemain.
 But how seriously will the admin. istration seek to control the cost of living should it lose this fight? Its spokesmen have been predicting dire consequences. Senator Lucas of Illinois maintains that "the end of subsidies means overnight infia- tion." And Chester Bowles of the OPA has warned that there is no other second line of defense in the effort to control prices. These pre- dictions are ominous, for they estab- fish an alibi for failure to hold the line of wages and prices. The way is paved for "we-told-you-so'' boast.
 The fact is that subsidies are not indispensable to price control. If the OPA is an effective administra- tive agency, it can maintain Q price ceiling on any commodity without

Gift Suggestions

During the past few weeks we have been besieged by relatives and friends with requests that we suggest few trin- kets we would enjoy receiving for Christ mas. Such demands now are rising to an almost shrill crescendo. This is en1bar- rassing. True, we do not have everything that we want. The car is getting shab- by, and surely we could use set of new tires Give, please, if you like this ldea). The keys on our typewriter are bit out of alignment, but we've got rather 1ond of the old mill, so perhaps we'll pass that up. There are few other things that come to mind. For instance, next spring we shall be in the market for some tWo- leather sport shoes, preferably alligator bottoms and white tops, for which no coupon is in sight even if two-colored shoes weren't off the market.
 These and similar wants, unfortunate ly. may not appeal to our relatives and friends. or may prove hard to find in the stores. In that case we have couple or other ideas from current advertisements which should offer no difficulties. New York-Beverly Hills haberdasher has a 1and-painted tie, which in the 1llustra- ton looks like one of those pillows one wins at county fair by tossing rings over pins. It is unique. Only one of klnd is made. If you give us that, nobody in the whole wide world will have tie like ours, and we are certain that all who see us in it will gasp, at the very least, ana will always remember the occasion, ana us. One of these ties can be purchased for as little as $25, although for $50 and up it is possible to obtain better art work and, presumably, higher grade Of pig rnent in the paints used From the cata- log of the Greatest Sporting Goods Store in the World we learn that de luxe Eng fish cigaret lighters gre available for either dress or daily use.

We do not know exactly what is the inside story behind the alleged liquor shortage. We hope that some of the investigations now under way and pro- jected will bring out the pertinent facts.
 Because, in offset to what we do know, there is this that we do know: Whoever or whatever is behind the liquor situation is playing squarelly into the hands of the Prohibitionists, and could easily bring back the conditions from which repeal delivered the United States. And that we must not have.

The main topic of the week, despite big war news was turkey. Many were dis appointed that they were unable to buy the birds. Those that ate turkey at hotels and restaurants feel that they paid plenty for the privilege. Those who got their orders in and served turkey at home, from twelve to twenty odd pounds seemed perfectly satisfied. Now that we have are safely over the first hurdle, turkey for Thanksgiving we can sit pretty until it is time to consider what we will eat for Christmas.

GLOBAL RELIEF PLANS
(Hartford TimeS)


 President Roosevelt has brought relief and rehabilitation plans for liberated peoples into practical op- eration by requesting Congress for funds as this Nations contribution. Specific figures were not stated as these are to be made known to con- gressional committees when the current meeting of the United Ma tions Relief and Rehabilitation Ad- ministration has worked out details.
 MT. Roosevelt reminds Congress that the help to be given liberated peoples will be in a form best suited to enable them to help themselves. They are not to be spoon-fed nor allowed to feel that Uncle Sam will underwrite all their future needs. They will be given food until they can be helped to produce their own. For the latter purpose they will need seed, farm equipment, ferti- HzerS, insecticides and the like. It will be matter of months, rather than years, when the war stricken peoples will again be able to live on their own produce instead of having it largely snatched from them by the enemy.
 Even so, the program will run into money, billions rather than millions of dollars. It stands to reason that the United States will be asked to provide the greater part of the nec- essary funds. Over this there should be no serious quarrel. We are spend- ing now at the rate of fully $8,- 900, 100000 8 month to defeat our enemies. Part of the result of vic- tory will be to help set the worlds house in order so that peace may be worth the name. The needs of the liberated peoples are part of that immediate postwar situation. Fam inc would result in disorder and perhaps civil war if the United Na- tions did not follow up military yic- tory with prompt relief and rehabil- itation. A few billions of dollars spent on that problem will be a sound investment, particularly as 1t is to stimulate self-help. There is no better form of aid.

HOME VERSUS HOSPITAL


 Perhaps (remarks Mrs. Fl. J. a.. who has borne two cvhtldre1 at home, one in hospitaD you have never witnessed all that goes on after the doctor leaves the mother and her new baby, when all the relatives and well-meanig neighborS rush in, asking all sorts ot ques- tionS and reciting stories of their own confinements, when the mother wants nothing so much as to be left alone to rest. It is amazing how many people adore little babies so much can't keep my fingers on from them" and how many times the newborn infant must be un- dressed SO they can Hook at its tootsies" or "See whether they took proper care of the cord" It does no earthly good for the doctor to give orders to keep visitors away-he is just too full of newfangled mo- tions" and this ls your own home, you can do as you pleaSe"-when in reality you want to scream Get out and leave us alonel"
 You're right, Mrs. H. J. H., l never witnessed such carrying-on which is not to say that just such mischief did not occur without my knowledge. If that sort of thing must be tolerated by the woman who has her baby at home, then home is not so safe as l had always believed. I have credited even mothers-in-law and the neighborS xr,;kI es,PROio11% iv9%n1Iinarnn and decency to obey the doctors orders. Describing her third delivery in hospital, Mrs. H. J. H. says every thing was well ordered, there was blessed quiet in the days and nights immediately after confinement, no visitors permitted in the first week, the baby was well cared for, mother and baby received a regular morn ing bath, wholesome meals were served, extra milk morning and afternoon, and none of the other members of the family barging in to ask where's my blue shirt?" or to report that Johnnie broke tho neighbours dining room window and the neighbor is going to give you Q piece of her mind about 1t. In fact. Mrs. H. J. H. returned home with her third baby 50 well and herself feeling so rested that it seemed like having good vacation.
 Even if such fine service were given in the average hospital-it is an argument, not in favor of having your baby in hospitaI. but rather an argument for better regulation of the home. If necessary the noisy or minimizing members of the house. hold should be sent away, out to board somewhere, for week or two. in order to insure reasonable quiet and comfort for the new mother.

Ray Bernard, s. J., In The New York Times The bowsprit ever pushes on Against chalky sea;
 The ropes. the hinted sails, the chains Are still, by strange decree. The quiet splendid lines of dawn Aglow will never break, The misty spray upflung remains No gull will see the wake. And yet the sea is there. the sea, The printed sea that lulls
 Yet rolls. and roars. and haunting calls Me to the spars and gulls.
