If my country's fate is to 60 through

Then he said lot more, which
surprised me still further.

Are you trying to say that you
subscribe to the japanese program
Of Asia for the Asiatics?"
Personally, I do not. I believe
the Americans will treat us more
fairly. But you must realize that
such a program has a terrific pull
for lots of Oriental people. AS long
as the Americans in the Philippines
insist on living in their own world
and keeping us in ours, the spiritual

to grow deeper. And If America

West correctly decided to open

the club queen was led from dummy,

turning the heart jack. Incidental

great deal more coffee is used than
tea.
Tea is the national drink Of
China, and has been for centuries
China has more people than North
and South America together.
In addition we find tea a COM
mon drink in India. Australia, the
Union of South Africa and else-I
where. In Great Britain and Ire-i
land it is even more popular than
in China.
Because of its huge population,
China uses more pounds of tea than
any other country-not more
pounds per person." but more
pounds for the whole nation.
China was the first nation to.
start the tea-drinking custom. Tea
has been on Chinese tables for at
least 1900 years. There are rec-l
ords Of tea being grown in China
much longer ago than 1900 years,
but at first it was used as a medi-
cine rather than as table drink.
One legend says that Buddhist
hermit was the first person in China
to drink tea. He decided to- stay,
awake for nine years and to spend
all of that time thinking about the
beautiful life of the Buddha.
The story goes on to say that the
hermit fell asleep at the end of
three years and when he awoke was
angry with himself. He then man
aged to stay awake for five years
longer but with only one more year
to 60 he felt very drowsy.
At that point, it's said, the hermit
used the leaves of a plant to brew
himself drink. 1t was tea plant
and the drink kept him awake
Drinking more tea, and liking it,
he was able to stay awake to the
end of the ninth year.
That tale is not true, but it points
out fact about tea. Like coffee.
tea contains caffeine, drug which
can keep a person awake if enough
of it is taken.
Some years ago it was learned
that the tannic acid in tea can
play good part in the treatment Of
burns. Ointments made partly Of
tannic acid are sold at drugstores.
When proper treatment of burns
could not be obtained in time, COM
mon tea from the teapot has been
| used with a measure of success to
supply tannic acid.

ROSY FUTURE

Dave Roberts, editorial writer for the Cincin

neau on a trip through Alaska, paints rosy future
for towns of Alaska located the Inside Passage.

The South Gets Back Its Flags
New York Times

New York Times
Every now and then something happens to re-
mind us that the War Between the States is over
1t should be- of course, since Lee surrendered 70
years ago. The current reminder is the decision OF
the Wisconsin State Legislature to return the cap
tured battle flags of the Nineteenth Mississippi In
fantry the Mississippi Devils, the Pelican Rifles of
Louisiana the First Missouri Cavalry, the Rchland
Rifles of Arkansas and the Cedar Creek Rifles of
South Carolina. Some of those flags were made by
pretty young ladies in crnoline and presented while
the bands played and hopes high. When you
read such books Bell Irwin Wileys current Life
of Johnny Reb' you to know those young ladies
and those young soldiers-and they aren't so differ
ent from todays boys in the CT suits, and the girls
they go around with.
That war was dark and terrible valley of death
and the ndignities inflicted the conquered after
the boys who carried the bright flags into action
were killed died of camp diseases and wounds,
some lived on in poverty Even after threequarters
of century and more it is not pleasant to think of
it ALL with the lives of men and women tattered just
as the battle flags were. But this healing fact re-
mains honor fought on both sides. The memory of
Lee and jackson is as truly American memory
as that of Lincoln and Grant. And this years in
vasion of the South by hundreds of thousands of
Yankee troops adds up to something good and friend
y for the united nation.
But let us look another three quarters of GEN.

Our worst of carried its own redemption. The
Lost Cause noble in defeat Neither eight decades
nor eight centuries will lend nobility to the enemy
we untedly confront today. The Stars and Bars is
reverently handled in Madison, Wis, because good
and brave men died under its folds. The swastika
will be loathsome to the end of recorded time.

ARMY POLITICS

Capitol Hill, frequently with a

FERROUS tug-of-war going on back

General of the U. s. Army.
Gen. George Marshall, Chief q
Staff, had selected as the new

Brig. Gen. Albert w. Kenner, who
did an outstanding job as Grief
doctor for U. S. forces in the
tough North African campaign.
Marshall ordered Kenner back to
Washington under orders SO se5,es
he was told not to report 30 Medi-

how Army politics operates, Mar

HOROSCOPE

FRIDAY, APRIL 80

! Adverse aspects are dominant to-
day. There is promising sign for
merchandising, especially in retail
trade.
HEART AND HOME: Shopping
for summer wardrobes will reveal
that well meaning women are sell
fish and even greedy as they re-
luctantly part with ra tioning
stamps. Sewing will become a pas
i time in the few leisure hours that
remain for girl war workers, and
dressmaking at home will absorb
attention. Wearers of uniforms will
have become bored by attire that
at first was conducive to their van
lity. Again fashion will intrigue even
the most efficient feminine riveter.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Following
sudden trends the stock market this
month will be most uncertain. In
terest in it will become pastime
for many persons who have little
knowledge regarding market per-
spectives. Warning is given that the
"feverish" stocks which are most
active should be avoided and astrol-
ogers emphasize the advice to save
as much as possible of current high
wages by investments in Govern
ment bonds.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Plans for
summer vacations will assume un-
usual Importance this year when
rest from war work is essential to
well-being. The ban on pleasure
driving which will affect popular
resorts adds to obstacles in the way
of travel that will be more desirable
than ever before, astrologers pre-
dict Walking trips will become
popular and the bicycle will offer
transportation to many who are
not mixers. If the stars have been
rightly read there will be extreme
heat in July and August, also I'M
usual storms and even earthquakes.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S:
Beginnings OF new phases of rela-
tionship among the United Nations
win be fortunate next month. For
eign affairs will cause Congress to
demand extension of authority as
dictatorial policies become more
necessary for Administration lead
ers. Tremendous anxieties are prog
nosticated as the United Nations
