(by MYRTLE M. GOODLOW
Through this great scientist,
and his ever searching quest
Our land was truly blessed.
For soil which was a barren field
was made to richly yield,
And plants and flowers he loved
so we'll
Have a wondrous story to tell.
In new shades and blossoms that
Always tell of DIR. Carver's skill.
DR.. Carver used his talent
For the purpose twas meant
To glorify God and his rae
And make this world a better
place,
In which to live.
BY offering all he had to give
Not in terms of dollars and cents
But for the whole worlds benefit.
In our hearts he shall always live
And be our inspiration to carry On
And always do the best we can
No matter how rough the road
we trod,
AS did this truly great American
For his country and his God.
Deep beneath the soil,
Where he loved to toll,
Mother earth clasps him to her
breast
In Eternal Rest.
And the flowers and the trees,
Gently Swaying in the breeze
Softly sing their requiem,
Ger this great American.

York was. Are we, then. to draw the
conclusion that the Germans are becom-
ing desperate as the hour of invasion
draws nearer and that they are now
beginning to do what it has been antici-
pated that they might, to send their
remaining surface warships out singly
with orders to attack conveys and keep
on attacking until they are destroyed?
-
The very fact that the Scharnhorst,
being wounded In her first encounter
with the British cruisers. returned to the
attack later in the day suggests that she
had orders to keep attacking the convoy
at all costs. But this is not conclusive
suggestion She may have turned away
to repair damages and it is proba BILE
that her captain did not know that the
Duke of York was close at hand. He
may have hoped to sink one or more OF
the British cruisers, which he might
have done had he been able. to stay
within range long enough. But it is
much more likely, from his movements,
that his orders were to avoid battle with
British warships and to keep after the
convoy. Each time he was engaged by
the cruisers he turned away.
The excellence of the British arrange
ments for the protection Of the convoy
is eloquently testified to by the results
obtained. The close escort of three large
cruisers was sufficient to deal with any
thing short Of German battleship; the

the time also has come to cease regard
ing Mr.. Roosevelt as standing firmly
for the national interests against these
labor raids. He does not stand by his

from doing SO. They compose the most

Need for Woman Workers
In Grocery Stores Explained.
To the Editor of ThA Star.

Cities throughout the Nation are faced
with the danger of retail food stores
closing due to critical shortage of labor.
This communication will call attention
to drive designed to recruit women for
full or part time work in food stores to
alleviate the shortage. Proper distribu-
tion of food became question for con-
Germ when grocery stores across the
Nation began closing. One of the chief
reasons was lack of adequate help, as
10000 men were, drafted daily and
women joined uniformed services or
entered war plants. In some sections of
the country it was necessary to designate
food workers as essential" in order to
prevent serious breakdowns Further,
the War Manpower Commission received
100000 letters from war workers protest.
ing, We can't get groceries" Those
letters plainly showed that disrupted
channeling of food seriously might i'm
pair war production.
In the interest of the all-over pattern,
of the some 500 400 food stores through
out the United States, Nation-wid
publicity campaign has been launched,
directed principally to women who find
it impossible to leave their homes for

the 10000 900 women requested for indus
try by the War Manpower Commission
before July 1914, it is estimated that
grocery stores will need 630 900 full-time
workers and 100000 women working part
time.
In five test cities-Los Angeles,
Wichita, Chicago. Detroit and Boston
organizations such as the Food Industry
Committee Of Michigan are being intro
duced to the drive so that they may act
as spearheads of a movement. 1t is
expected that vanguard of housewives,
realizing the urgency of the problem,
will form the nucleus Of a trend and
avoid repetition Of the necessity in hard
pressed areas for placing food workers
under essentially ratings.

outcome of this strange collaboration
will be, yet each is willing to function
on the basis of kind of cropping faith
in human decency.
1t is also a proud world for the people
in it would rather fight for their faiths
than die for their prejudices
In this second world there is touch
of charity and comprehension wholly
missing from the first Among it's people
are, for example, residents of Chung
king who are willing to admit that the
war in Europe must be won first, as
compared with certain residents of safe
Chicago who will make no such admis-
sion.
There Is also a touch of adventure
among the people of this second world;
they see an international conference
as meeting of four men, cropping their
way, willing to 60 mile together. even
II they cannot quite see 10 miles ahead.
To the denizens of the first kind of world,
OF course, the same international con-
ference is meeting of thieves and the
big question is, who is the smartest
crook?
Well, there is bright new year COM
ing up, and We all have to spend it
somewhere, in either the one world or
the other, so pick the world in which
you prefer to live during the coming

The Schurnhorst

The sinking of the German bat
tleship Scharnhorst off bleak North
Cape, the northern tip of Norway
just within the Arctic Circle, marks
an important step in Allied domina-
tion of European waters. 1t elimi-
mates what was probably the most
powerful unit in the German Navy
in full fighting trim To be sure,
the giant superbattleship Tirpitz is
still af1oat, but it is presumably
undergoing repairs from the daring
attack by British midget submarines
last September at its hideout in
Alien Fjord
Those Norwegian fjords, salt
water eStuaries of great depth which
run narrowly inland between sheer
mountains which screen vessels
from air attack, have given the small
yet highly efficient Germany Navy
nuisance value far in excess of it's
size. This is especially true of its
interceptive potentialities against
the supply route to Murmansk. Rus
sia's Arctic port, through which sup
plies from Britain and America go in
vast quantities. 1t was in a raid
against one of these conveys. pro-
tected by major units of the British
Home Fleet, that the venturesome
Scharnhorst was caught and de-
StrOyed. The mere fact that the
German Admiralty risked its trump
card in the attempt shows the i'm
portance which Berlin places on that
supply line to the Red Armies.
But the destructive possibilities
of the German Navy are not con-
fined to interference with the Muir
mansk route. The daring raid on
Spitzbergen last summer showed it
capable of daShes farther afield,
perhaps against the North Atlantic
sea lanes like that in which the
giant Bismarck met its fate two
years ago. The result has been that
the British Admiralty is forced to
maintain home fleet much larger
than the blockaded German Navy
and including units powerful enough
to deal with the Germans wherever
they might appear
Assuming that the Tirpitz is still
unseaworthy and that the Gnei-
senau, sister ship of the Scharnhorst,
continues to be laid up for repairs
at Baltic port, the German Navy
is at present reduced to two pocket
battleships" and a few cruisers,
none of them able to stand up
against the most modern super
dreadnaughts, with which both the
British and American Navies are we'll
supplied. This may mean that some
capital units, British or American,

postpone victory and add to the toll of
human life"
Coming from Mr.. Roosevelt. this is
about the limit. II the American peeple
are apathetic on this matter of organized
labor pressure it is solely because Mr..
Roosevelt has made them so. If the
labor bosses are arrogant and dictatorial
1t is because of the meat he has fed them.
For 10 years now he has given presi-
Dental and White House support to the
men who are now pointing pistol at the
head OF the Government, obstructing its
war program and forcing it to bow TO
their will and who, after they get what
they are after at the expense of the
country and the war effort, loudly flaunt
their phony patriotism
1t Is he who for full year after the
war started asserted that imitation could
be controlled without controlling wages
and insisted that none of the privileges
granted to labor, under the one-sided
laws which he had put through Con-
gress for the labor bosses, should be af-
fected by the war. 1t was he who ap-
proved his Undersecretary of Wars
Labor Day letters TO conspicuous labor
figures telling them what magnificent
work they had been doing when they
should have been denounced because Of
the long series of strikes that had cost
many millions of man-hours on war
production. And, finally, it was he who
used his personal influence to prevent
effective antistrike legislation by a Con-
gress anxious to enact it. In brief. the
President is the architect of the situa-
tion he now deplores
