H. C. PRESIDENT
NOT AGAINST

Worcester, Mass, Oct. S.-(UP)
Proponents of Sunday sports events
found a strong supporter today in
the Very Rev. Joseph r. N. Maxwell,

lege.
Speaking against the Lords day
league Of New England which sent
letter to New England colleges
asking that they take decisive ac-
ton against the playing of college
football games on Sunday" Rev.
Maxwell said:
~ am very much opposed to any
thing that would desecrate the
Lords day but I do not believe
clean, honest sport does So"
Rev. Maxwell said he enjoyed a
very fine game myself two weeks
ago." and that he believed SUM-
day games were justified since It
was the only day on which many
war workers could attend games.

Best Weapon
ON the Ell Dorado (Kans.) Times.

From the Ell Dorado (Kans.) Times.
Hammer the Americans hard enough,
and you forge the best weapons In the
world"
This quotation is taken from THE
Forest and the Fort" by Hervey Allen,
and Is supposed to have been spoken by
Capt Ecuyer, commander of Fort Pitt
during its historic siege in the 17OOs long
before the Revolution. THE best of the
provincials are better than the regular
(British) troops" he is also quoted as
writing his superior, Capt. Bouquet.
What was said in the long ago, when
America was young and before the
United States was formed, still holds
good today. A high sense of manhood
and integrity, strong body, superior
intelligence, great initiative bred under
freedom and a fiery dash of zeal for a
worthy cause-these elements combine to
make up the American soldier.
Hammer him hard enough-and you
forge the best weapon in the world The
Axis hammer had it's full part in this
creation for the war now being waged
The Axis chiefs may we'll rue the day
when they lifted that hammer.

Queen WilheIminu

Today is the birthday anniversary
OF Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither
lands. 1t was on August 81, 1880.
that she was born at The Hague, the
only child of King William III and
the Princess Emma of Waldeck-
Pyrmont. She succeeded to the
throne on the death of her father,
November %, 1890, but was not
actually inaugurated" until Septem-
Der 6, 1898, the business of the state
meanwhile remaining under the
skilled direction of her beloved
mother-one of the truly great
women of her time.
But Wilhelmina, even as a little
girl, was endowed with something
more than distinctive gifts of the
mind and the privilege of careful
training. She is by nature a person
OF noble character. During the por-
tion OF her reign preceding the Ger
man attack upon her country in the
spring of 1910, she managed public
affairs in such wise as to merit not
merely the warm affection of her
people, but their high respect. Her
dignity was no less a legend than the
simple and unpretending democracy
OF her bearing. She married in 1901
the Duke of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin
and on April 80, 1909, gave birth to
the Princess Juliana, now the wife of
Prince Bernhard Of Lippe- -Biester-

Work or Fiqht

There is at least one useful lesson
to be learned from Montgomery
County's unhappy experience with
Maryland's "work-or-f law,
The law was jammed through the
closing days of the recent session of
the State Legislature as a means of
compelling young men who had been
passed over by the draft to accept
war-useful work. There are those,
of course, who contend that such
statute is fundamentally bad and
should not be enacted in any cir
cumstances. Most people, however,
will be in sympathy with the view
that in time of war men who are
not suited for military service should
be required to accept useful employ
ment, provided their rights are ade-
quately safeguarded by the law and
that they are physically capable of
working.
The apparent miscarriage of JUS
tice in the Montgomery County case
seems to trace back to two sources.
First, the States work -or-ight law
was not written with care and it falls
short of providing a desirable degree
OF protection for those who may be
affected by it. Second, the law, such
as it is, appears to have been care
lessly administered in this instance.
Until the Legislature meets again
there Is nothing that can be done
to improve the law itself. But the
of11cials charged with enforcing it
can do great deal to Offset the de-
fects in the statute by making a
real effort to see to it that every
thing possible is done to safeguard
the rights of accused persons. Ger
tainly, it seems evident enough that
the Montgomery County incident
would never have occurred had the
county officials made little more
effort to bring out the real facts of
the case.

field. The whole family reflects the
genius of It's head.

field. The whole family reflects the
genius of its head.
Especially since Wilhelmina has
been in exile has she justified the
admiration of her civilized contem-
poraries. No word of complaint has
passed her lips. She has carried
herself with the courage of William
OF Orange. Her pride in the un-
abated resistance of the Dutch COM
munity is force in itself. She tolls
for the liberation of Europe with
magnificent zeal. At sixty three she
has reason to believe that she will
live to see her hope achieved. Thou
sands of Americans, strangers to her,
yet united with her in their labor for
freedom and peace in the world, will
rejoice when at last she returns to
her own dear land as the living
symbol of its emancipation.

General Macarthur Praised
By Critic Of Other Leaders.
To the Editor of


1t is with disgust mingled with appre-
hension that one observed the narrow
partisan politics which has been exhib-
tied in the ignoring Of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur during the recent Quebec
conferences.
In spite Of the fact that the war in
the Pacific area was emphasized, and
regardless of the fact that Gen. Mac
Arthur, above all men, knows the Jap
and his trickery in war, not even the
generals name was mentioned. Perhaps
there was some fear of an eclipse If
Gen. Macarthur had appeared on the
scene, or is it that Messrs Roosevelt
and Churchill need no advice?
Gen. Macarthur has shown his
ability to carry on in the face of danger
with too little equipment and much lack
OF support on the home front. He is too
busy for politics. If all concerned were
as conscientious as he, the war would
soon be over. A thousand cheers for q
great American, and a courageous gen.

estimates the cost of Industrial acci-
dents in 1912 at over five billion dol
lars. the lives of 1880 workers, in
: iuries to 1,75O,000 workers and loss
s,of time measured by 3So,oO0,00O
y man-days of work.
These figures become more stag
/. gering In their implication, however,
- when it is considered that the De-
.partment of Labor. on the basis of
experience of its National Commit
sctee for the Conservation of Man
power in War Industries, an activity
Of the Division of Labor Standards,
estimates that between 80 and 95
per cent of industrial accidents are
preyentable by management. That
fact should be hammered home, in
connection with all accident sta
tistics, until management as whole
accepts accident prevention as an
integral part of its production re-
sponsibility.
A recent series of two articles in
s,The Star told of the fine safety
record established by the Army Air
Corps In it's pilot program.
What the Air Corps has demon
tstrated has been proved beyond
question In manufacturing plants
which have reduced their own acci-
!. dents: Namely, that planned en-
phasis on accident prevention yields
tangible results. The results also
pay, in speeding up production and
7sin reducing costs. In list of Sc
lected plants studied by the Labor
Department, cost of $14 annually
per employe in accident prevention
produced saving of SAG per year
per employe in reduced workmens
compensation charges and other
Items traceable to accidents.
In 1910 the Labor Departments
Division of Labor Standards began
enlisting the services of safety ex-
perts, borrowed from some of the
Nations leading industrial concerns.
A pool of men available for safety
instruction was created, consisting
of about score OF full-tinae men
and more than 500 safety engineers
who gave part-time services for in
stallation of safety measures In
plants having war contracts. These
men worked last year in 10,775 firms

THIS AND THAT
By Charles +. Trnce,Dell.

And this is much more trouble than It
Is worth, especially now when gasoline
is at premium.
And the plan may not work out, after
all, because there are always more
squirrels.
We have just received word that over
IN Georgetown, where we used to live,
in block where there were no squirrels
when we lived there, there are now
scores Of them.
This can be attributed to nothing but
the popularity of bird feeding.
Where food is put out for the Wild
birds, the squirrels will come.
So will pigeons. Our correspondent
would find that squirrels for 20
pigeons would be very bad trade. Which
is the most persistent. we do not know.
but each species has ways Of It's own.
There is no humor in a pigeon, but a
squirrel Is great natural comedian, and
always gives entertainment for what he
takes.
The plight Of the common wild pigeons
OF Washington Is causing concern.
Where there used to be hundreds In
Lafayette Park, today there are only
a few.
The death Of the famous peanut ven-
der over by the White House has resulted
In lack Of food for these birds.
Since passage Of pedestrians has been
banned on the sidewalk across from the
