UNCONQUERABLE SWITzER-
 LAND

Switzerland stands today an island
 in a Naz ocean. Hitler could oc-
 cupy the country at any time if he cared to pay the price in soldiers and ammunition. He can freeze its inhabitants by denying them coal. He can reduce them to penury by shifting off their exports and ir1- ports. By all material tests they are in his power. Materially they hame had to conform. They do make goods that go into the Nazi war machine. But spiritually they refuse to be conquered. This week news came from Berne that the Federal Council had forbidden the circula- ton of @ German Conversations Lexikon" because statements in it irsulted Switzerland. Perhaps the Swiss didn't mind being called "a medley of criminals, particularly Jews" To be called a criminal by a Nazl is to receive a high coml pliment. To be called a Jew by Q

In Elizabeth N. J., drastic staggering of retail store operating hours have been ordered. No downtown stores, save res- taurants, drug-stores, cigar stores, food stores, and the like, open before 9:30 a. m. They must close, too, either before 4 p. m. or after 5:45 p. m. All of which is going to make available more and more people for extra-curricular work, if you care to call it that. The number of people now finding regular employment in two distinctly different types of work is on the increase, even here in Waterbury. It's the war, you know!

Today is the day that decides the pro- longation or the shortening up of win ter. We have tradition based on fable that the common ordinary groundhog appears from his hole, takes look, and the issue is decided if he sees his shadow or does not A good strong sunlight today means he will hop back for few weeks; if the sun does not shine the backbone of winter is broken. But this IS just the fable. Time will tell, and February IS often a wicked month, from a weather Stano- point.

World conquerors for the most part have gone from west to east Alexander the Great, Augustus Cae- sar, Napoleon, and now the would be conqueror Hitler. But religious influences have started in the East and gone west. The spread of Jud- aism. Christianity. and Mohamme- danism are examples of this.

BY PETER EDISON Waterbury Democrat Washington COrfesnOndent

This Victory garden campaign has some strange angles.
 The big idea is to get six million farm gardens and l2 million city and suburban gardens under cuiti- vation. As there are approximately 3S million families in the United States, this means that one family out of every three is supposed to spade up and start planting.

Tap upon the frosty pane, Anxious lest might not see In the driving. icy rain Their bedraggled company. Creeping up the leafiess vine By the dormer's narrow edge. Sheltering underneath the line Of the overhanging ledge. Once they shyly looked askance At my Tapping apron strings, Wary of my outstretched hands And my goodwill offerings.

1nsornria is merely an impressive way of saying wakefuiness pr BleepA lessIiess or insufficient sleep. " IS not an ailmert. It hos no specific significance in respect tp tlie eos:- dition of the nerves" or the lnitld or brain It never causes any one to lose his mind or SO insane.
 Many reader has called me uil- sympathetic and worse. Truth iS I'lr1--well, damitall, too many littIe things upset me dreadfully, things that seem to disturb other folk not at all. Now I may be all wrot1g about this, but all my professional life it has seemed to me that the doctor who is adept or outstatlcl- ingly successful at sympathizing with patients troubles Is least likely to accomplish anything of corise- quence for their physical welfare.
 Doctors who are generous In pre- scribing or dispensing narcotics, hypnotics or ';sedatives" for pa- tieflts who complain of insomnia may do so out of sheer kindness and an earnest desire to give Suf- ferers some temporary surcease or forgetfulness-of course that Is oil the medicine can possibly do. But when one considers the physiologts cal action of the drugs which pro- duce narcotic, hypnotic or sedatlve effects, especially their depraving effects on the heart, kidneys, blood. digestion and on the Judgment &nd character, this indulgence of p&- tients' demands for sedativeS stnacks of the syrupy sweetness of the ra- dio spieler who assures the guillible public that the acetanilide concoc- tion dispels Enagically whatever Mt- tie aches, pains, aixieties or fa- tigue manifestations the unwary customer may have.
 The long succession of hypnotic or sedative drugs introduced in the past forty or fifty years, each new one purporting to have all the de- sirable soothing or calnative ef- fleets but none of the depressing or harmful effects of the proceeding one, add up to this grain of truth: No medicine can put you asleep with irnpunity. The search for such a medicine Is as futile as 1t would be to try to determine just how hard to hit 8 person on the head with a inallet to put him to sleep without doing any serious or lasting harm.
 I do not imply that . physician is not justified in administering whatever remedy he thinks neces- sary in any emergency, I do be- lieve that many physicians use these hypnotics or sedatives too freely for the welfare of their pa- tients. 9 h

How TO Take the

thermometer, capable of
U measuring temperatures on
the planet Mars through about
80 600 600 miles of space, has been
designed by DR. William w.
Coblcntz Of the National Bureau
Of Standards in Washington
Laymen who marvel at the up
and-dQwn fluctuations of ordi-
nary weather thermometers in
response to variations Of heat
and cold may now regard such
scientific phenomenon as pretty
tame device compared with the
one that records the tcmpera-
lures SO far off on Mars These
heat measurements, in turn, in
dictate the kinds Of rocks TO be
found on that planet.
This new Government tcmpera-
tWe instrument does not use
mercury or other liquids TO show
fluctuating weather conditions.
Indeed il is an electric device,
technically known as a thermo-
couple, and simply means the
junction OF two wires of different
elements
When an electric current is
passed over this junction Of wires

exactly with the degree Of heat
radiation falling on il say. for
example the warmth from the
