with whip drove them and the
vendors of doves and other sacri-
fetal victims before Him with a
scourge.
The Christ of the whip! We sell
dom think of Christ as welding the
whip. He loved to refer to Himself
as meek and lowly of heart, and
we have so accepted that as an ade-
quate description of Him that we
forget how often His eyes famed
with anger and how on one occa-
sion He raised HIS hand in violence
He would not tolerate men who
used the sacred precincts of the
Temple for carrying on a dishonest
racket. Such people could not be
dealt with by moral suasion. Even
Christ Himself was driven to the
whip.
So in the lives of everyone of us
we can be sure that there are times
when Christ must use the whip. If
we will not listen to His words, we
may, by the working of divine
grace, be brought to submission by
sterner means.

chairman of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee, says, "Ameri-
can women must not be subjected
to the evil influences of service
abroad"
The Navy wants WAVES over
seas because of the manpow-
er problem. AS things stand now,
the Navy is obliged to use men
for clerical work at many over
seas bases nowhere near war
zones.
The Navy has large establish
ments in Puerto Rico, Trinidad,
Newfoundland, the Canal Zone.
These are no more dangerous mill
tarily than New York or San
Francisco. WACS are allowed to
serve there, and the Navy is
allowed to send civilian women
there, but WAVES are barred.
Everybody high up in the Navy
has pleaded with Congress for
authority to let the WAVES go
overseas, including Secreatry
Knox, Admiral Randall, Jacobs,
chief of Naval Personnel, and
Captain Mildred H. McAfee, di-
rector of the WAVES.
Admiral jacobs told House Ma
val Affairs that Admiral Harold
Stark, European Commander i'm
Chief, had sent word: "Send me
WAVES. I could use so in my
London offices and replace so men
for fighting"
The House committee was i'm
pressed and was willing to give
the WAVES break, but Walsh
blocked action on the Senate side.
The matter never came out for
debate on the Senate floor. Walsh
sat on it in committee.
Meantime, the War Department
has sent 1000 WACS to the North
African theater alone.
MORE STRIKES AHEAD
There are a lot more strikes
in the country than the public
is aware of. The government has
abandoned the policy of regular
announcements of the number Of
strikes and the number of man
hours lost. Thus the strikes do
not get into the newspapers.
But here are some figures
which reveal that the no-strike
pledge of l0bor organizations is
not very effective.
In November alone, there

History Repeats

Threatened with a strike that would
stop all rail transportation in the United
States, President Roosevelt had no pos
&ible recourse except to take over the
roads. A stoppage in any form of trans
portation in this country now, on what
ever grounds, would he equivalent to the
wanton murder of tens of thousands of
American fighting men and equivalent
numbers of British, Russian and other
active allies. 1t could easily cost us the
victory now almost at our fingertips. 1t
cannot be tolerated.
It would be ironic, nevertheless, if the
government should be forced for a second
time in two world wars to take over the
railroad system for operation 1t would
be ironic because this time the roads
have gone all out to see that in no pos
sible way could any excuse arise for such
seizure. In World War Uncle Sam had
10 take the railroads because they were
showing themselves incapable of utiliz-
ing their essential facilities with
even passable efficiency. A year before
This war began the roads, determined to
leave no ground for government opera
ton, drew up blueprints which they have
followed, as a result of which, operating
under terrible handicaps, they have done
a wartime Job that deserves to be classed
with that OF American manufacturing
industry.
Nevertheless, because of wage dispute
which three of the interested unions re-
fused to submit to the President, they
were put in jeopardy of seizure under such
conditions that the greatest admirers of
the job done by the railroads cannot well
protest. The recourses would seem to be
two. First, and utterly inconceivable, to
hand the world to Hitler on a silver plat
ter Second and terrifying, to resort to
armed might to force railroad men to
operate the trains. There are some types
of work in which it might be sufficient
to Protect those who are willing to work,
and fill in with amateurs. This is not true
of railroading. The hazards are infinitely
too great.

were 12O strikes. The DECEMBER
figure will be only slightly low
er. In the week before Christ
mas, 91,OOO man days were lost
in plants engaged in war pro-
ductiOn. Two days before
Christmas, 21,00O people were
out on strike, and a number of
critical items were behind
schedule.
Some Of the strikes have no
relation to wages. Take for ex-
ample the strike which Washing
ton officials refer to as "1tae Bal
timOre backhOuse strike" The
Western Electric plant at Balti-
more are producing such highly
important items as marine cables
and radar wire. But white work
erS went on strike because white
and colored workers did not have
separate toilet facilities.
The War Department was
obliged to step in last week and
take over the plants - solely be-
cause of toilet trouble. Workers
began coming back slowly, but
four days after the plants were
taken over. over half the work.
ers were still out.
Unfortunately, there Is every
probability that strikes will in
crease rather than decrease in
the future. Next in line de-
manding wage increases will be
aircraft, steel and shipyard-
workers. John L. Lewis vic
tory broke the line, has stimu-
lated demands for increases in
many industries.
After the President yielded to
Lewis, George Harrison, railroad
brotherhoods chief, visited the
White House and said, "For
Gawd's sake, you give it to your
enemies, why not to your friends?"
RED TAPE BANS RED MEAT
Meat producers in Mexico would
like to send q million pounds of
fresh beef week to the U. S. A.,
but the U. S. A. declines to re-
ceive it.
There is no question of foot
and-mouth disease, as in Argen-
tina. 1t is merely a technical
question of whether or not U. S.
Federal meat inspectors should
cross the border.
Washington says mo-. The law
gives our inspectors no authority
to operate outside the United
States. Washington says Mexico
will have to set up its own fed
eral meat inspection system before
the beef can be shipped across. 1t

the housewife suffering.
A new meat-packing plant
has just been completed at
Juarez, on the border, for the
purpose Of processing meat for
sale to the United States. Presi-
dent Avila Camacho personally
dedicated the plant, and its
operators expected to slaughter
100000 pounds week, for ship
ment across the border.
But not pound can come
across. Actually, an old plant
at the same site years ago had
u. S. Federal inspection, under
a special agreement, and the
present operators can't see why
this agreement cannot be re-
vived.
DR.. George E. Totten, chief of
meat inspection in the depart
ment of Agriculture, mentions the
matter with annoyance, but seems
to do absolutely nothing about
1t. Meanwhile, we buy tons of
meat from our Latin American
critic, Argentina, while spurning
meat from our ally Mexico.

(ChrlStlan Science Monitor)
The stress of war brings the
Lords name to many serviceman's
tongue-to some reverently, to others
profanely. There are those, too, who
attempt both uses, but their spiritual
needs in this about modern war
fare are forcing realization that
to revere one minute and revile the
next hardly brings down the "bless-
ing OF heaven" as the first Com
mander in Chief pointed out to the
United States Army of 1776:
The General is sorry to inform
that the foolish and wicked prac-
tice of profane cursing and
swearing a vice heretofore little
known in an American Army, is
growing into fashion. He hopes
the officers will, by example as
well as influence, endeavor to
check 1t, that we can have little
hope OF the blessing of Heaven
on our arms If we insult it by our
impiety and folly. Added to this, 1t
is vice so mean and low, without
any temptation, that every man OF
sense and character detests and
despises it. G. Washington.
This admonition has been con-
veyed to present-day troops by
means of camp bulletin boards and
camp newspapers, and In other
ways the Army is attempting to curb
profanity.
On the home front, however, the
trend appears to be in the opposite
direction. So called realistic writing
in books, magazines, and news
newspapers-is so interspersed with
oaths and what were hitherto con-
sidered unprintable expressions that
it no. only offends adult taste, but
stands in danger OF becoming ar
accepted mode of expression Of the
Younger generation. Mothers anc
fathers particularly are concerned

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Garlic


Please give your opinion in regard
to the use Of garlic or the principle
extracted from it for high blood
pressure. III ave hard throbbing in
the region of heart and can feel it
often in my head too. (R. W.
Answer-The garlic idea is just
some charlatans invention. Garlic
has no effect on blood pressure. The
symptoms you mention do not sign
ify high blood pressure. 1t would be
folly to attempt, to diagnose or
treat your own trouble, whatever
1t may be. assure you high blood
pressure is never in itself what
ails the patient: the blood pressure
may be higher than normal In var
ious diseases or circumstances. My
advice is that you leave blood pres
sure entirely to your physicians
consideration. The less you think
you know about it the better off
you will be.
Wakeful Boy
am IA this month. Every night I
wake up at least 4 times for no
reason at all. I'll sleeping when all
of a sudden I wake up. Can you tell
me why? &C. g.
Answer can't, son. It may be
some trivial disturbance, but GER
tainly it is not normal and ad-
wise you to report it to your doctor
and have the doctor find out wheth-
er there is anything wrong that
may be readily reminded If taken
in time.
Girls Must Not Reduce
I am IL years old. Is there any
way can get thin like other girls
Of my age? I weigh 100 pounds.
(Nanette)
Answer - For the sake Of your
health and good looks. Nanette,
don't try to reduce and don't try
to diet in any way. unless you have
the regular attention of your family
doctor.

Betty asked the domestic later. He
had not. Betty tried unsuccessfully

of which indicates, rumors to the
contrary, that this romance is still
very much on.
And that reminds me-. the girl
