Returned Home

siding with his parents here, Is
back home safe today after an
abortive effort to visit the great
commonwealth OF California.
Russell appeared at the local
bus station Saturday with the
proper funds to buy a first class
bus ticket to San Francisco. The
bus depot agent questioned him
about travelling so far alone, and
finally Russell convinced him it
was all right.
However Russels parents. upon
discovering the absence OF their
son, reported the matter to the
city police who soon learned OF
the California bound traveller from
the bus agent. Police gave the
message to the state police radio
system, and in less than two hours
Russell was taken off the Grey
hound bus at Three Rivers, Mich.
His father went after him prompt
ly and now all are happily united
at home again.

DR.. William Jay Hale is COM
Inc back to make a speech in
Detroit-his head bloody but
unbowed,
The last time he was here he
was badly misquoted in the
morning paper and took quite
an editorial shellacking as a
result.
Speaking on his favorite sub
ject, the eventual division of the
world into "sations.' Hale pre-
dicted that unless the white
race changed it's mode of living
II was doomed 10 fall before the
yellow race, because the yellow
people work longer hours and
cat less.
A reporter. who arrived on
the scene after the speech was
completed, collected a garbled
account from an out-of-town
banker and quoted Hale as say
ing. I'VE can't beat the Japs.

by far the most efficient any,

that there can't be improvement
but on a comparative basis. our
factories lead the nation in eff
cient use of manpower and ma
chinery.
But the optimum is still far
off. The plants need more
workers and the source is here
IL it can be tapped. Women are
the big reservoir still untapped.
While many have come into in
dustry. the majority who are
capable of doing work some
