| in the average log fire, and these con-
stitute real picture to the imaginative
Imagination is coming in again, these
days, although in a rather unpleasant
and. some tffnk, perverted form.
Global strategy, geopolitics. and the
like, show the use of certain types of
imagination.
Certainly two more harmless forms of
imaginative thinking are cloud gazing
and fireside looking
At the seaShore even the dullard has
amused himself with trying to see pic
lures in the clouds.
BY the home fireplace it is even easier
to see forms, faces, castles, and so on,
each according to the imagination
behind the seeing eye. Who is there
to say what another person sees? The
imagination plays such large part that
1t is impossible to explain its effect to
the realiSt. But it is easy enough to
see pictures in the fireplace, as the logs
crackle, the smoke flies up. and the
sparks tend to bounce off the screen.
One of the amazing things about
sparks is the perverse way in which they
seek the smallest opening below or
above screen, as If in order to escape.
This explains, perhaps, one of the
ways fires start.
There seems to be an limp of the
perverse," as Poe called it, In all in
animate things
When animation, in the form of gas
and fire, is added an inanimate thing,
as it goes to its destruction. seems at
times to have very devil in it, and
to try to drag down with it all in its
vicinity.
Every care should be taken. therefore,
by all persons who are using freplaces
more than usual this winter.
1t Is good thing to have an all-over
screen. If possible, and to keep it in
place.
Do not be afraid of being called a
sissy" when it comes to caution in this
matter. Fire prevention is one of the
greatest needs of this age, as of all
| other ages.
Care must be taken. in running a fire.

special care must be taken, in hand
ling hearth fire, to leave the fire in
| good condition at night.
1t is best to let it die down. or. lacking
that, to use some type of all-oyer
screen. 1t is always best to keen rugs
and furniture at some little distance
Since this is, perhaps, an advice of per-
lection, often disregarded, the prac-
tical plan is to see that the fire is out
at bedtime, or to use a cover-all screen
that is spark tight.

Suggests Rationing Packages
Sent to Troops Overseas.
To the Editor Of The Star:

Reading the notice concerning the ban
on overseas packages and having one
son already over there and two more
on the way, am wondering what this
ban Is going to do to the morale of
those boys. SO far away from home and
friends.
The packages we send are only small
consolation, but they give us a feeling
of being close to our boys and having
them close to us.
Why not a plan to ration packages to
one month or even one every six
weeks, supplying us with forms to be
stamped by the parcel post clerks with
the dates of the mailing?
When you consider that packages
going to far-away places take at least
one month, sometimes two months, to
reach the boys, they would still be
few and far between.
These boys are surely worth the con-
sideration I suggest.

How About "Perduce"
And "Perduction"?
To the Editor of :

To the Editor of The Star:
Surely one is not to be stigmatized as
purist for objectmg to the modern
use OF "hooves," as the plural of "hoof,"
IN lieu of the correct form-"hoofs."
"A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in
the dark,
AND beneath, from the pebbles, in
passing, a spark
Struck out by steed fiying fearless
and fleet"
from Paul Revere's Ride" is familiar
enough to young and old to furnish
mnemonic clue for proper guidance in
the use of this word. Edmund Burkes
Reflections on the Revolution in France"
contains the oft-Quoted and much-dis-
cuSsed: Learning will be cast into the
mire and trodden down under the hoofs
of swinish multitude; while addi-
tional support is offered those with
biblical predictions in Ezekiel, XVI II,
where is found: With the hoofs of his
horses shall he tread down all thy
streets"
Poetic license may have permitted the
use of "hooves" on occasion, but GER
tainly the news columns of the press
do not provide a happy medium for.
such expression. In dismal contempla-
ton whereof I have arrived at such a
cynical and gloomy state of mind that
I am now expecting to run across
grooves" for roofs" in the not distant
future.
Another silly custom I would like to
take a crack at is the use of the term
fluid milk" now so prevalent We are
continually confronted with agitation
about increasing the price of fluid milk"
and bombarded on all sides with the
possibility of a shortage in the supply
and threat of consequent rationing.
Why the simple word milk" does not
suffice in this connection is difficult to
understand. I grasp what the writer's
are driving at, but why they waste so
much paper and ink in using the ad-
jective fluid" every time they refer
to plain milk is hard to fathom Milk is
milk as it comes from the COW and no
one possibly can be miSled by the use of
the single word without establishment.
The commodity in other forms is prop
erly distinguished therefrom by use of
the appropriate adjective, e. g., paSteur-
lied, condensed, dried, evaporated, sour
and skinned. This solecism seems
almost as absurd to me as it would be
to characterize ordinary water as "huid
water" to differentiate it from ice or
snow or other variants from the simple
H2O. However, judging by analogy,
wouldn't be at all surprised to see it at
any time
While in the mood, allow me to take
exception also to the use of dove" for
"dived," now constantly met with in
descriptions of submarine operations and
Of aerial fighting. This has become so
widespread that the more correct form
is now seldom seen, much to the disgust
of us old fogies.

First Thinas First

Senator Bankhead, Senator Wheel
er and some others are contending
that China, Russia and the British
Empire should furnish most of the
hghtlng men while we concentrate
here at home on producing the sup
plies they need. The weakness of
this theory is that it is not being
advanced primarily as a military
solution Of the problem of winning
the war, but as an eXpedient to re-
lieve the manpoWer shortage on the
farms. Until the military men advo-
cate it as the best and quickest way
to win the war, the plan cannot
command serious consideration.
There is danger now in the ten
dency to look on the military require
mentS as the chief cause of all our
troubles, instead of regarding the
military machine as our chief hope
Of salvation, Cutting down the size
of the military establishment should
be regarded as the final, not the first,
resort in averting the danger of pro-
duction break-doWns. And the ques-
don now, for which the Senate
Military Affairs Committee should
seek definite answer in its forth
coming investigation of manpower
needs, is whether everything has
been done that could be done to
utilize the Nations civilian man
power.
1t should be remembered that the
military men have a pretty definite
idea of the task that lies ahead
Of them and a very definite plan
of performing it. Can the same
thing be said for the civilian au-
thorities dealing with manpower
problems? General Hershey has
said that more men have been lost
to the farms by the attractions of
higher pay and shorter working
hours in war industries than have
been lost through the draft. Some
of the same people who are worrying
now over the size of the Army and
the inroads Of the draft were advo-
eating not long ago the location of
war industries in their home dis
tTictS. If the War ManpoWer Com
mission has any definite, overall plan
for meeting the requirements of war
and farm production, it has not sue
ceeded in making it known.
How can we even SERIOUSLY discuss
the proposition of cutting down our
military requirements below what
the military authorities consider
necessary, while we still cling to i'm
pedimentS on industrial production
originally introduced as methods of
spreading the work.? How can we
talk about cutting down the size of
the Army to relieve manpoWer short
ages in industry as long as absentee
ism continues to be a major problem
In many types of war work? And
how can any one advocate reduction
In the size of the Army when there
does not exist any definite plan for
utilizing to the best advantage all
the existing manpower outside the
Army?
These are some of the questions
with which the Senate Military At
fairs Committee undoubtedly will
concern itself in its investigation Of
the manpower problem in relation to
the Army'S needs.

Big Role For Labor
Sought By Green
Enduring Peace And Sc
curitY For All Notions Is
Goal. He Tells Purley

Labor demands major role in post
war reconstruction to attain the two
fold objective of enduring peace and
economic security for the peoples OF
all nations, William Green, president
of The American Federation of Labor
told a meeting of the American Labor
Conference on International Affairs.
Speaking directly to 500 labor lead.
ers of both the Congress of Industrial
Organizations and the AFL, and to the
nation, via the Columbia BrOadcasting
System. Mr.. Green emphasized that
American labor, having played an out,
standing part toward winning the war
is intent on doing all within its power
to eliminate the possibility of third
world war.
Wants Voice In Basic Problems
international conferences, councils
and interim commissions have already
been formed to deal with the war
problems of the Allies" he pointed out
"These bodies will inevitably prede-
termine to Il very large extent the sOlu-
ton of many postwar issues. Labor
demands that it be fully represented in
all deliberations which deal with post
war reconstruction and with such
basic international postwar problems
as food, relief and trade relations
Praising the Wagner Murray Dingley
bill to expand the social security pro-
grain, Mr.. Green said labor is dedi-
Gated to the establishment of eco
nomic security on a worldwide basis
as foundation for just and peace
able relationship in international af-
fairs.
In an address that made many of
the same points advocated by Mr..
Green, Emil Rieve, general president
of the Textile Workers Union OF
America, CIO, told the morning ses-
sion of the conference that labor must
have cts own definite place ut the
peace table"
"Our unions, singly and collectively,
must even now be importuning our
governments for definite commitments
to that principle" he asserted. I'VE
cannot wait until the armistice; then
it will be too late Labor representa-
tives must not only be at the peace
table but must have more than voice,
they must have voting power"
Professor John l.. Childs of COlum-
hia University urged American labor
to develop an adequate program To
make it's great potential strength felt
in the political field. Arthur J. Alt
meyer, chairman of the Federal Sc
curity Agency of the Social Security
Board, said there is Il community of
interest in raising the standards of
living and security among all nations.
He suggested that loans could be made
to countries starting social security

WOMEN

Widespread assignment of women as
cOunselOrS and personnel officials has
resulted from the great increase in
women factory workers, Mary Ander-
son, Director of the Womens Bureau.
U. S. Department of Labor, reports.
Almost every one. yOf the several
hundred war plants visited by the
Women's Bureau has women in either
one ar both of these capacities" Miss
Anderson said "Our surveys have in
cluded government arsenals, aircraft
factories, ammunition plants, tool fac
tories and shipyards.'
The wOmen's counselor, between the
actual job supervisor and the eXecu-
tive personnel officer, is charged with
the duty of fostering good employer
employee relationships. Successful ac-
complishment of the cOunselor's func-
tions will lessen the resentment OF
fOremen and male employees against
women as cO-wOrkerS and will aid the
women in adjusting herself to factory
life.
The counselor is concerned with the
Welfare or the factory woman. One
who knows factory operations and
who knows human nature and is quail
ified to lead should be chosen for "a
counselor. She interprets company
