LIGHTS ON. An odd bit of infor-
nation from fighter pilots in North
Africa: total blackouts as defense
against air raids are the rule every
where except on Gibraltar. There,
the minute the alert sounds, lights

trail Spain keeps its lights on, makes
Gibraltar a perfect silhouette if it
blacks out. When it's lighted, the
fortress, from the air, is indistin-
guishable from the mainland. That's
had one other effect: Spaniards,
wanting no bombs to fall on them
by mistake, have built a lighted
arrow pointing toward Gibraltar.

LAST GIRL
uNFORCETTABLE.

UNTORCETTABLE. "And the
last girl saw" the boys write home
from New Guinea and Hawaii and
New Zealand, was a cute little
number who waved good-by to us
and threw kisses. Never saw her
before in my life but | don't think
any of us will ever forget her"
The girl the boys remember is
Irma Spahr, a 27-year-old War De-
partment typist and clerk, the only
girl worker at the San Francisco
Port of Embarkation.
Irma may not be decorating any
barracks walls in Guadalcanal, but
she's more vivid in the boys minds
than half dozen full-length pic
lures of Rita Hayworth or Lana
Turner.
WHISTLE GIRL. Being an Ameri-
can girl - and the boys being
American soldiers - 1rna has been
whistled at more frequently than
any other girl in the world. She
has been serenaded by as few as 10
men at time and as many as five
or six hundred she's had good-bys
shouted to her by entire divisions;
and she's been dated facetiously by
departing soldiers who can't resist
shouting, IN meet you at the cor
ner of Market and Geary my first
day back" as their ships start to
pull out.
After a year of it, still gulp,"
she says.
She remembers one shipload OF
soldiers breaking into a rouslng
chorus of praise the Lord and Pass

sailed out of the harbor. Then, as

We were masters of the art of trapping
rabbits in cracker boxes half-opened by
a figure 4.
On crisp winter nights we whlzzed
down gigantic snow-clad hills at DEATH
defying speeds - on sleds made by US.
And on hot summer days we went SWIM
ming in a hole under willows, by the rail-
road bridge. There was nice healthy mud
in that hole and it always attached itself
to us. No spa has more satisfactory mud
bath to offer its clientele.
Dur my boyhood was not all adventure
and high living. There was also school.
There were also farm chores. There was
also strict discipline, for mine was a
Quaker family with strong views regarding
the corruption of youth. 1t was condl-
ton of the other freedoms that read and
be questioned on one chapter of the Bible
each day. At times l felt injustice was
done by the extra-long chapters. They
were kindly folks They believed IN
boys being boy, but they were resolute
on boys growing up to be an honest,
self-respecting member of human society.
Since one of the saddest things in the
world is that boys must grow up into the
land of realities, | think there should be
special Bill of Rights for boys as boys:
Like everyone else, boy has right
to the pursuit of happiness. He has the
right to the kind of play that will stretch
his imagination. tax his ingenuity. sharpen
his wits, challenge his proves and keep
his self-starter going.
He has the right to the satisfaction of
that thirst to explore the world around
him, every bit of which is new to him,
and to explore the land of make-believe
at will.
He has the right to affection and friend
ship. He has the right to the sense of
security in belonging to some group. He
is by nature gregarious, and the cultiva-
ton of that instinct will bring him many
joys and helps in life.
He has the right to health projections
that will make him an inch taller than his
dad. He has the right to education and
training that will fit" him into job he
likes when he becomes man.
These are the rights of boys and it's
up to us, as adults, to see that they have
them. The glory of the nation rests in
the character of her men. And character
comes from boyhood. Thus every boy is
challenge to his elders. 1t is for them that
we must win the war - it is for them that
we must make just and lasting peace.
For the world of tomorrow, about which
all of us are dreaming and planning, will
be carried forward by the boys of today.

Labor Is
Conservative
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Labor is conservative. When | say
that to groups Of employers, they look
at me with astoniShment, to put it
mildly. They are 50 sure that Labor
is radical and its tactics revolutionary,
But Labor men nod agreement. They
understand.
Labor is conservative because it be-
lieves in conservation.
According to the dictionary, conSer-
vation is the act of keeping or protect
ing from loss or iniury-and conSer-
yative is tending to preserve. Labor
believes in construction, not deStruc-
ton. Labor believes in better relation
ship between people and nations, in a
more closely knit world society
Labor stands for the conservation of
child life. 1t is against the curse of
child labor. 1t is for greater educa-
tional' opportunities for all children.
Our free schools are a monument to
the conservatism of Labor.
Labor stands for the conservation of
health. 1t is for closer regulation of
working conditions. 1t is against
sweated labor and dread occupational
diseases 1t has led The fight against
factory hazards II has Striven for
better and cheaper medical attention.
Labor stands for the conservation of
family life 1t has fought for shorter
hours of work that the family might
have more leisure lime together. 1t
has demanded better living conditions

kets, the federation says:
when wages are frozen, manage
ments with low wage rates find them
selves unable to attract or hold Il
work force 1t is impossible to reason
away the discomfort of workers who
are held to lower rates than other
workers in similar occupations in the
same region. No amount of force or
RECOMMENDATION will restore to such
ity." w.. ,4
The federation charges that though
labor has kept its no-strike promise,
the governments promise to stabilize
prices has been broken.
Wages were frozen to the Little
Steel formula with Il program to
freeze prices the federation CON
tinues. But prices and the costs of
living continued to rise until the work
er today must add 26 cents to every
dollar he spends to maintain his pre-
war living standard.
In addition, 20 per cent is withheld
from his pay envelope for tax pay
ments and he is expected to invest 10
per cent in war bonds. The worker and
his family are caught in these pincers.
Workers are told to look to overtime
and bonus plans to cover increased
prices and are denied even modest
wage increases whereby they could
maintain their relative position in the
national economy. This wage rate issue
is the key to the problems of which
labor turnover and manpower short
ages are the symptoms.
Workers Pay Inadequate
The federation cites the neWSt sur
vey of the Heller Committee of Cali
fornia University as indicating what
is happening to workers income under
the wage freeze.
The Heller Committees wartime
living cost budget shows that the wage
Garner who could support his family
at an adequate living standard in
September 1912 now falls short of that
standard by $192 because his wages
have been frozen while living costs
rose Skilled and white collar work
erS have Il similar deficit of S194 per
year These deficits remain even after
the committee has allowed for all
reasonable wartime economies.
The budget of the Heller Committee
is generally accepted to represent a
health and decency living standard,
the federation says. The annual cost of
the wartime standard at March 1913
prices was: for wage earners average
for the country $2,77O; for skilled
craftsmen and white collar workers.

pared down to the minimum consistent
