CHAPTER THIRTY-FTvE

FOUR HOURS after she had TOLD
her story to Society Sal, Paige
stood on the promenade deck Of the
Lorelei as 1t plowed lazily out OF
the harbor, and wondered how Sal
possibly could have wrenched from
her that guarded information. A
nightmare, eternally hidden from
the prying. A nightmare about
which she maintained silence even
II the person knew the details.
Gabe, Abby-they were only two
out Of thousands encountered.
Something about Sal, perhaps
those demanding eyes, perhaps her
wisdom in having seen through
Notwithstanding had virtually
lured the story from Paige. But she
could not be sorry. For some rea-
son she felt almost light hearted
about it.
She had laughed gaily when Dem
ison. after having paid Martha a
handsome bill for the privilege of
being a guest Of Sails, banged on
the locked bedroom door.
Hey, Abby and I want to come
In there" he called.
Sal yelled back. as gruft and rude
as when commanding him to buy
her drinks, You're not coming in,
Denison Ware. You're going home. !"
She slid Paige through the door
and followed, laughing triumphant
ly into the mans face. I'm tired
and sleepy. So go homer
Sure. Now that you've got my
money"
Wares tibe brought a puzzled
look to her face. Il don't know
anything about any money"
Good-natured wrangling had CIV
en- way to good-natured farewells.
Abby mapped all the way back to
town in the morning balminess of
that tropical country. Perfume
from their wilted, though still fra
grant leis, filled the car. Denison
Ware hooked Paige's arm through
his so that it rose and fell with his
as he turned the steering wheel.
The little houses they passed were
in the poor section, but were made
beautiful by flowers that would
have stopped pedestrian traffic on
Fifth avenue.
That closeness OF Denison
Wares arms was as near as he
came to a caress. They breakfast
ed beneath a spreading hau tree
on the terrace at the Halekulani.
They drove on from there to the
Royal, where Denison wandered in
the palm gardens while the two
women packed small bags and
changed into travelling clothes.
Abby did some shopping by
means Of fast telephone CONVEX
sation to the mems shop in the no.
tel. Christmas, you know" she
hurled over her shoulder to Paige.
For Choppo. Store shoppers will
have to do the rest Of mine"
After that they went through
the stereotyped, though friendly,
farewells that the management Of
fers. Handshakes. Alohas. Identical
leis to all departing guests. Then
they climbed into Denison Wares
station wagon and drove to the
ship.
Paige remembered saying, IT be-
iieve this is the most glorious day
I've ever seen in Honolulu"
You'll see many more like It,"
Denison told her.
Abby started out roughly, "Heav-
ems, yes, Paige. Don't get drippy.
Everyone gets drippy when they
leave Honolulu" Her voice de-
serted her.
Denison observed, And you're
the drippiest Of all"

quota of food whether they want
to or not.
But l believe there are good
reasons for it, nevertheless. On
any priorities or point-rationing
scheme | do not believe anyone in
the United States is going to
starve, or even go hungry. And
the foods which are obtainable in
good quantity are of a concen-
trated nature, so much so that by
eating them iniudiciously most
individuals are likely to gain
rather than lose weight.
National Health Problem
Overweight "a national health
problem of the first order, ac-
cording to the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company. l believe
that a great many of the disabil-
ties of middle age are due to over
weight. l mentioned the other day
that painful feet are more often
due to overweight than to any
other single cause. Besides that,
certain types Of arthritis are far
more frequent in overweights
than in normal weights. Especially
is this true of the arthritis of the
knee that comes on with middle
age, due, of course, to the amount
of weight-bearing that falls upon
this very delicate joint.
High blood pressure, diabetes
and Bright's disease are the ac-
compartments of overweight and

cause and effect, the relationship
is there just the same. saw a
woman patient with heart disease
the other day and it was evident
that the first step in treatment
would be to reduce the weight 30
to 40 pounds: this would lessen
the load on the heart and prevent
it from pumping blood over such a
large area.

overweight is gallbladder disease,

shoulder and began to wall, THAT

come to my room to say goodby."
She wept like a punished child.
The girls eyes filled with SYM
pathetic tears. Hes just a child,
Abby. But he loves you"
mot so much as he loves Rusty"
she blubbered.
Its a different sort Of love-"
Paige insisted to the woman, who
now was crying unashamedly.
When they reached the pier and
were pulled into all the sailing ac-
tivity, Denison stopped his station
wagon at the unloading zone SC
that the stewards could take the
baggage. He reached back on the
middle seat and pulled forth spe-
cially made leis for the two wom-
en-. Necklaces of baby orchids.
When he placed Abby's over her
head he giggled first at her chic
little hat Of delectable gooseberries,
then kissed both plump cheeks.
Pages lei he simply put over her
sleek bare head, said aloha" then
whispered, Hurry back, my love"
But he did not follow the custo-
mary ceremony Of kissing her.

ly. stay right here. I'll park and
join you"
The surging crowd was like that
entering a ball game stadium. Not
daring to move, Abby and her
young companion just stood, let
ting the stream Of people divide
around them. At the large en-
tranceways to the pier shed were
the lei women, some young, others
old and fat, dressed in shapeless
dresses and flat-brimmed coconut
straw hats. On extended arms they
held perhaps IS or 20 leis. All the
vendors smiled constantly, showing
perfect teeth.
Nearby were crates of extra
flowers. Additional helpers were
busy with needles and strings. A
lovely young girl pounded the
deep green leaves of the male to
bring out its fragrance before
twining it with brilliant blossoms.
There was so much commotion
about them that only especially
noisy haggling would have attract
ed Paige and Abby. Everyone be-
gan to notice; necks began to
stretch in an effort to catch a
glimpse Of the disturbing customer,

you were weeping over his neglect.

Choppo was yelling, 1--we got to

I've got to have two of them" His
tones faded into huskiness. The
tears he drew upon at will began
to race down his cheeks. And I've
just got one buck. And that's
enough"

New York (JPS)-The death
in German prison of Georges
Mandel, former French Minister
of the Interior and aide to Glenn
enceau in the first World War,
was reported here by the National
Broadcasting Company, on the
basis of information from it's
Berne correspondent. The ia
nous French-Jewish statesman,
born Jeroboam Rothschild in
Paris, was So years old.
The story of Mandel's rise to
power was one of the most spec
tacular in modern European his
tory. Unlike Leon Blum, who
too fell into the hands of the
Nazi conquerers of France, Man.
del was a staunch conservative,
who is said to have prevented the
development of liberal govern
ments at crucial periods in French
history Legend had it that in
June 1910, when France was a.
bout to fall, Mandel told the Cab
met that if his name was not
originally Rothschild but Durand
instead, he might have been able
to rally the nation in it's hour of
defeat to hold fast against the
oncoming Germans. He left
France in June 1910 for Casa
blanca to stir the Empire to fight
on. He was arrested there and
sent back to France. He, to-
gether with former Premier Rey-
maud, was seized at the personal
orders of Hitler and transferred
to a German prison in the fall of
1912.
He was brought into politics by
Georges Clemenceau and was
elected to the Chamber of Depu-
ties in 1919. He was one of those
who voted against the evacuation
of the Ruhr in 1924 and lost his
seat at the next election. He was
returned in 1928. In the years
that followed, he held at various
times the posts of Minister of
Colonies, Transport, Communica-
tons and Interior. His role was
always that of the fiery, efficient
champion of French patriotism,
whose slogan was the famous
message of Clemenceau: Don't

WHAT THE JEW THINKS
BY Captain ISadOre MOScOvitZ


Readers of this weekly column
will probably be surprised to
note that instead of a Chaplain,
a Captain of Infantry is writing
in this Corner" The fact is
that the writer, in addition to
his regular duties as Division
Special Service Officer, has been
serving as unofficial" Chaplain
for the Jewish men of the goth
Division and at Camp Van Dorm,
and the Division Chaplain has
requested him to write this weeks
column.
The title of this column,
What The Jew Thinks" is def
initely misleading and was pur-
posely so written. What the Jew
thinks is no different from what
any other individual thinks about
anything. The Jew is a human
being, no better and no worse
than his brother human being.
He asks for no special favors,
and all he wants is fair and equal
treatment, and he is well salts
fled.
We often hear the expression
II am a Jew and proud of it"
This remark carries with it an
admission that the Jew is some
what defending his being Jewish.
It is too bad that person has
to defend having been born, for
THIS is the only thing that has
made us different" from our
brother human beings.
The writer is NOT proud to be
Jewish. He is proud only of the
accomplishments which he him
self has brought about through
his own efforts and not by acct
dent of birth. In truth, he had
nothing to do with his having
been Jewish, SO Why be proud?
Of course, the contributions made
by Jews throughout the world
toward the civilizing influences
which have helped mankind pros
per do tend to bolster the spirit
of the Jews as a group. But in

this democracy Jews prefer to
think of themselves as individ-
uals-as American citizens of
Jewish faith.
The very essence of the demo-
cratic spirit of America-its
ideas of justice, of social decency,
of humanity, of brotherhood
inherent in the udaeo-Christian
tradition of the power and glory
of the individual as distinguished
from the philosophy of totalitar-
ian nations which emphasize the
supremacy of the state.
In this tragic trial between
Nazism and freedom, Americans
of all faiths are standing to-
gether to Withstand the on
slaughts of a way of life which
seeks to destroy the individual in
spirit as well as in body.
Despite the feelings of hate
and blood-thirstiness, brutality
and inhumanity that war brings,
there is still tolerance and clar-
ity in the world even among
those who have been most af-
flicted and prosecuted. The writ
er believes that Madam Chang
Kai-Shek symbolized truth and
beauty of thought and expression
in this war-torn world when she
said, 1--WE live in the present, we
dream of the future, but we learn
eternal truths from the past. It
would be just as irrational for a
man to claim that he was self
made as for a nation to believe
that it could be Insufficient.
Nations and individuals are but
links between the past and the
future.
There must be no bitterness
in the reconstructed world. No
matter what we have undergone
and suffered, we must try to
forgive those who injured us and
only the lesson gained
''In order that this war may
indeed be the war to end all
wars in all ages, and that nations,
great and small alike, may be
allowed to live and let live in
peace, security and freedom in
the generations to come, cooper
alton in the true and highest
sense of the word must be prac-
ticed."
Before we can have a better
world, the shackles which bind
Individual freedom, liberty, and
justice must be ripped loose, and
every human being given the
privilege of contributing his share
to human welfare.
When every man has an equal
opportunity to heal the wounds
which have devastated the earth
Under the heel of Fascism we
shall step in the right direction
coward building a better civiliza-
lion.
The world needs the fullest,
most fruitful and creative ener-
sies of capable minds and hands
% prepare for the ways of peace
and a normal life. The writer
believes that by adhering faith
July to the principles of Ameri-
ian Democracy, we, in this
Country, are giving individuals
If all faiths an uninhibited go
ahead signal to build the kind of
life we want when the final cry,
cease firing" is given.
