with an added zeal in the face of gobal war which will be their particular busi- ness from now on.
 During their years of training they have learned lot about all sorts of wars 1T. the past, what the navies of the world did in all of them; but, as the Secretary of the Navy told them the other day, they are now encountering and about to be- come part of the greatest naval war of all times. They must be assigned to fleets on six fronts, each one of them to have some part in navy business for the duration, and after that the navy con- tinued for many of them.
 The Secretary pointed out There is more to be asked of you in the years ahead than was ever asked of any class that was graduated here" With these words and many other significant ones ringing in their ears the midshipmen and ensigns go forth to become principals and part of the general ensemble in what goes on all over the map today.

remark about a situation which as tonishes adults. Very often they have a way of looking into the very center of meanings. With all our big talk about plans and after-War reconstruction, the fact remains that what this world needs is more love. And this fact little children can see plainly, even though the statesmen cannot
 Let us begin now to plan for the kind of world we ought to have after the war is over, but let us not believe for moment that we can build that world on anything but. A new world requires new peo- pie - not necessarily new genera ton but the old generation with new hearts. It was hate, distrust, indifference, and lack of religious faith which got Us into this mess, and we will have to have plenty of the opposite qualities before we are out and walking on the open road of peace and opportunity again.
 Let us have plans for the new world, but let those plans be leav- ened with plenty of compassion and human understanding.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Carving Thirty Pound Burden

Mother of three children, l yr. yrs, 912 yrs. I feel so darned tired all the time. Constantly on the go doing all my own work and taking care of our crew of four men. In spite of everything I carry about thirty pounds overweight, and would like to lose some of it before hot weather comes. I'm ashamed to go out without a coat.
 (MrS. w. J. McC0
 Anewer-Doing all that work is enough to make healthy young woman tired. Carrying a thirty pound handicap is in effect strain. If you attempt reduction at all, Maam, don't go at it hammer and tongs. Adopt and follow consistent ly a physiological regimen which will reduce at the rate of not more than a pound or so week but will certainly IMPROVE health and vite, regardless of reduction. You can adopt such a regimen for yourself when you have studied Rules for Reducing"--for copy send twenty five cents and three-cent stamped envelope bearing your address. The booklet will not be sent unless you ask for it in writing-do not send clipping in lieu of your signed re- quest. I'm sorry that I must insist on this-the world is full of strange people.

By shaking down all the arguments, pro and con, concerning the Ruml tax plan, "pay-as-you the answer IS that the United States Treasury would not lose anything this year by changing the present method of collecting income tax, The Treasury will take in as much oy collecting 1943 incomes as-you-ean as if it were collecting 1922 incomes. "Fore- giveness" might just as well be spelled imagination" as there is no loss III the revenue collected by the new plan. one informed writer says that the Ruml plan should be overwhelmingly adopted by Congress because the public wants It, and for the practical reason that It VIII do no detriment to the Treasury. That seems to be the whole matter in nut shell.

The Fuse Is Burning

During recent years while the pendu- lum of political strategy was swinging in favor of beneficent labor laws and in- creased regulation of business, vote-Seek ing politicians have time and again step ped across the line in their capacity of lawmakers to show open-armed favorit- ism to certain groups, principally labor.
 Out of the Welter came such laws as the Wagner Act, the National Labor Rela tions Act, the Guffey Coal Act, and oth- CTS. These laws were drawn to appeal to the votes of organized labor. Justice and the national welfare were ignored. Labor racketeering and strikes increased. Evil as these are, especially in wartime, something worse has come of the class conscious legislative thinking that has ruled Westinghouse frightening admi- ration for personal government has sprung up within the groups which the politicians have patronized. If this ad- miration prevails indefinitely, our repub- lie will perish for it was founded on government of laws not of men-and it's laws must be just if it is to survive.
 Government seizure of the nations coal mines is only superficially attribut- able to the war. Under constant poli- tically-inspired labor strife, it would have come eventually anyway. At last an important segment of the private enter prise system has been engulfed. As long as the coal mines remain under the total control of government, their former own CTS together with the mineWorkers are operating under system of state social ism. If we want the system to expand and become a permanent substitute for capitalism, we have only to sit back and continue along the path we have been following At it's end there is neither prl- vate enterprise nor labor unions. Con- gress should move immediately to amend or remove every law which deliberately favors labor or any other single group.

No description applies more aptly to smooth type of gentry than does the term financial adventurers." Because of their practices, increasingly stringent regulatory laws have been passed to as- sure investors a square deal for their money. As their hunting ground has been constantly narrowed in the field of private financing, they have turned to promoting the doctrine of socialism un- der which they encourage cities, counties and states to go into publicly-oWned business such as electric power projects, which are not guarded by the laws ap- plying to private enterprise. Their ac- tivities along these lines are not scrutln- ized by any Securities and Exchange Commission, corporation commission, public service commission, or any other agency of government such as has been set up to check on the merits of pri- vately-financed business. AS a result, the field of public financing for electric power production is wide open to the H. nancial adventures who seek fees and commissions for promoting such eXpen- diture of public funds. In the interest ot taxpayers and investors, publicly-oWned projects should bear the same scrutiny by regulatory bodies, as does private en- terpriSe.

THE OLD YELLOW MILL

enjoy your column (writes . correspondent both when I think you are right and when think you are wrong, which isn't more than 49 per cent of the time.
 Qs there a Philadelphia lawyer in the house?)
 note you sprang from Canan- diagua, continues the correspondent, and once practiced in Penn Yan. (Wauwatosa readers, If any, please take notice). I sprang from Wat kins (Glen) and used to visit cousins on the - farm two miles southeast of Penn Yan. How well I recall that old yellow flour mill. =. - (editor of scientific publication.
 As an editor of a scientific pulp lication you write a cryptic letter, brother. But I shall postpone shoot ing myself until my lawyer advises whether jury would say you think I am right or wrong 51 per cent of the time.
 For that matter, the editor of the official journal of the Mime Sota State Medical Association, con- ceded editorially in the February, 1880, issue of Minnesota Medicine that. "our old friend pr. Brady" (we were still on speaking terms in those days) 'in regard to certain statements made by him in regard to the indications for tonsillectomy, and the best methods of removal of healthy and diseased tonsils" (the editor does me wrong here, for cer- tainly have always opposed the practice of removing healthy ton- sils by any metho0 ". no hu- man, with the possible exception of the above mentioned columnist, is capable of gathering together in one small cranium" (my hat meas ure is 7A if anybody cares to pre- sent me with sunshade) "all the truth of modern medicine, let alone being able to grind it out daily for the consumption of the lay neuro - and hypochondriac. The fact that his statements hold water somewhat over fifty per cent of the time should be cause for congrat- ulation, rather than censure."
 Now that, brother, is a candid, precise, scientific estimation of my teachings. Somewhat over 50 per cent right, the medical editor says, whereas you mark me 49 per cent.
 Thank you, though, for recalling the color of the old mill Although I lived in the shadow of the mill for three years, the color of the mill had long since faded from my memory. It was yellow, to be sure, a cheerful yellow, and hope it still is yellow. Also I hope the old mill still supplies that wonderful buck wheat flour which made Penn Yan and Birkett's Mills famous, but I wouldn't know, because the art of making buckWheat pancakes in the only proper way is a lost art. go for yeast-raIsed buckWheat cakes and maple syrup not only because they are so good to eat but because they are an excellent source of vita min B complex, Of which few of us get enough nowadays.

Views Of The Press

George Bancroft, President Folks Secretary of the Navy. It is no disparagement to his writings to say that the Academy is his most en- during monument The class this year is greater by almost 150 than that of 1942, itself unusually large. Admiral Dewey's class, '58 had 15 members. Few or many, the men who come from Annapolis can be depended upon to be equal to every duty of peace or war,
 They have been trained in a sev- ere discipline, physical and mental. Mighty few hours in the day can they call their own. To fit them for command they have learned to obey. It is no summer cruise that awaits them now. In what part of the world they know not, they are to face danger and death, in the air, on ship, on or under sea. They are ready. In Memorial Hall as the midshiprrtan takes the oath of allegiance he faces the flag flown by Perry at the battle of Lake Erie. On it are inscribed the last words of the Commander of the Chesa- peake, Don't Give Up the Ship
 Tablets, memorials, monuments, the names of Academy buildings re- call famous men of the Navy. The spirit of patriotism and valor is strengthened by the traditions of the place. In this war every day some thing skillful or brave is done by some Navy men. In May Con- mander Gilmore fatally wounded, re- fused to be carried below, saved his crew and his boat by giving the order "Take her down" and was swept overheard. It is this high pitch of conduct that redeems the cruelty of war. These young men are called to noble action and they are fit for it.

tors - is 22,oOO for a two-month period.
 Among the unrationed foods, the Senators are going strong for spaghetti, shad roe, and deep dish cherry pie. The pie is a company dish" served at the special luncheons for such dis tinguished guests as Anthony Eden, Winston Churchill and Ma dame Chiang Kai-shek. Actually, it was put on the company" menu not by a senator, but by Congressman Sol Bloom, chair man of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee, because cherry pie happens to be a favorite of Sol'S.
 Among vegetables, the senators are going strong for black-eyed peas, kale, and spinach.
 Rationing is no problem for Vice President Wallace vho has the same luncheon for days on end. The tray carried to his private office behind the Sem ate chamber consists of rye bread cheese sandwich made with Wisconsin cheese, a dill pickle, and dish of ice cream.
 NOTE: Chief problem of the Senate restaurant is not food but tips. Senator regard the restau- rant as their own, not just pub lie eating place, and they tip accordingly - five cents, ten cents, or nothing at all. Walters prefer jobs downtown where they can find a quarter under the plate. NAVY'S OIL DEAL

lands was becau5e the govern ment had just finished about ten years of litigation with Standard Oil of California to SC 1ure the return of one section of these very same oil lands the second richest oil reserve in the world.
 This was the famous Section 36" case, concerning one section of Elks Hills, which went all the way up to the Supreme Court before the section was finally re- turned to the government.
 Section 36 got out of govern ment hand under an old law which provided that every Sec ton 16 and Section 36 of the public domain should go to the state for public school purposes. Thus section 36 went to the State of California, which in turn sold it. Later, Standard Oil of California acquired it.
 However, when it was found that Section 36 was rich in oil the government sued to get 1t back on the basis that public lands cannot be given to the state if they are known to be mineral lands.
 So after years of litigation, Sec ton 36 finally was returned by Standard Oil of California to the government, only to be leased by Secretary Knox together with all the rest of Elk Hills. Under the Knox contract, Standard will get all the Elks Hills oil for five years, after which the Navy will get third. The Interior and Justice Departments have opposed the contract.
