ing Canadian coastal waters. The
same is true if enemy planes
tried to sweep down through the
Southeast for an attack on Ca
madam or American cities.
Should the Germans try and
pull off an invasion, the officers
in charge of the defense of Can
ada could readily tell in a few
minutes what forces they could
bring to bear to fight off the
attempt Needless to point out
how important it is that every
fighting unit be tabled just in
case of such an emergency.
The map, parts of which have
been blotted out by the censor,
also shows the location of inn
portant military airdromes and
naval bases.
To do this eXacting work, the
girls not only have TO know their
geography and cartography, but
they must be experts on the
weather, the travelling speed of
ships and planes, and the layout
of coastal defenses. And TO top
off all this knowledge. they have
to be able to handle intricate
computing instruments perfectly
and be lightning calculators.
The American sea frontier is
guarded in a similar manner, but

sible for the defense of our shores
have thrown a necessary hush

How To Get More
Shoe Mileage

FOR the past year, the British
who have been bucking the
y hardships Of rationing much
longer than Americans-have
been experimenting with methods
Of making shoes last longer. The
results of the experiments were
recently announced by the Brit
ish Board Of Trade which pub
lshed a six-point program for
the proper care of footwear.
The way to get more mileage
out OF your shoes, the Board re-
ported, is not 90 wear the same
pair day after day. They should
be worn in rotation day, one
pair. then another, and then back
TO the first This gives the leath-
err time TO rest and dry thor
oughly, and so makes the shoes
last longer.
Shoes should be cleaned regu-
larry. Remove dust and dirt be.
fore polishing and rub the polish
well in. II feeds" the leather
and keeps it tough and pliable.
Heavy leather boots should be
waterproofed by using an oily
dressing
Shoes should never be put close
TO a radiator or a fire. Heat
ruins leather. Damp shoes should
be put on their sides and allowed
TO dry slowly.

conditions in the period from l9l7-19l8.
All important types of accidents except airplane
and automobile transportation then relatively infants
in usage, take relatively smaller toll of lives now
than they did in the days OF the last World War In
fact the total death rate from accidents among wage
earners now is about one-thrd less than it in
19I7-l9l8.
Back in 1917, when the United States entered
the war, the death rate from accidents jumped to
765 per 100000 persons increase of IA percent in
two years The rise of the rate began in 1916 the
year of this countrys preparation for This time,
when in l94i another year of active preparation for

that conditions going to parallel those of the

accidents actually declined somewhat in 1912, and
it has shown little tendency to rise during the first

Mr.. Tugwell on Puerto Rico
New York Times

New York Times
Rexford Guy Tugwe had become far-off
memory, but his report as Governor of Puerto Rico
brings everything back Here is fresh whiff of the
intellectual atmosphere in the early days of the New
Deal Mr. Tugwell, like Mr. Wallace, has the curious
habit of talking about the Administration, not like a
member of it, but like outsider looking in. The
United States, it appears has policy at all toward
Puerto Rico. 1t keeps its people in Illuminating Sus
pense by implication neither fit to govern themselves
nor to become part of the United States. The
United States he AYERS at another point has not
prepared the way for the honest settlement of this
issue" Did it to Mr. Tugwe what use
Axis propagandists can make of talk like this in an
official report? Responsible officials in position
to advocate reforms quietly to their superors AS long
they hold office they need not belligerently and
publicly indct the colonial policies of their own
government.
1t is an unpleasant fact declares Mr.. Tugwell,
that Puerto Rico is no better off than when it
from Spain in 1898 This would be extraor
binary indictment if true. But the evidence is over
whlemingly against Mr.. Tugwell The population of
Puerto Rico in 1901 was 97S,00o in 1910 it L.
877000 The rate of population growth in the island
has, in other words, been greater than that in
the continental United States. An island that
support twice the population that it did in 1893
hardly be said to be no Better off The exports of
Puerto Rico in 1901 totaed So 100000 it's exports in
1910 totaled $85000000. Puerto Rico imported in
1901 less than 100000 of goods in 1910 it imported
Sll0,000000 worth Is island whose foreign trade
has grown tenfold better off? The value of Puerto
Rico manufactures increased from S3600000O in 1909
to $l 100000 in 1889 Even in the period from 1920 to
l940 iteracy on the island reduced from SIS per
cent to 81 per cent. Mr.. Tugwell's generalization
would ignore the poured into the island by at
least onehaf dozen Federal agencies 1t ignores the
housing including the Eleanor Roosevelt develop
ment.
What is Mr. Tugwell's own solution of the Puerto
Rico problem? independence? No; that it seems
is "a cruel and deusve idea His solution seems to
be to indusriaze Puerto Rico through outside
oic assistance If this is purely from outside
private investments it is highly desirable But if it
is to come from the Federal Treasury, then Mr.. Tug
we'll should remember that Iowa, Mississippi and
Wyoming have much political right to ask for it

SPENDING FIGHT

The drive to pare federal expen-
ditures has reached crusading di-
mensfofls on Capitol Hill since the
five Senate globe-trotters returned
from the battlefrcnts with some dts
-quieting tales about lend-lease lar
geSSe.
However, when the matter was
discussed behind closed doors by
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. there were repercussions
more like riot than crusade.
Septuagenarian Senator's Kenneth
McKeller, Tennessee Democrat and
Clyde M. Reed, Kansas Republican,
tangled in bare-knuckled argu-
ment over how much money the
committee should spend for Eek
perts' to study war and domestic
spending.
Mcclellan said $4,000 was enough
and was all set to put to a vote a
motion calling for this amount
when Reed demanded chance to
be heard: The fortnight Kansas
newspaper publisher contended that
$4,000 was only 'flybite,' that at
lease $1,000 was needed to do a
thorough job of investigating "Ad-
ministration extravaganza"
You're tackling something with
a tack-hammer that ought to be hit
with q iedge-fiammer Reed ar
gued. waving his finger at the SEN
ator from Tennessee.
When Mcclellan, who was preSid-
ing in the absence of Chairman Car
ter Glass. started to reply, the
Gentleman from Kansas cut him
short. With a gesture embracing all
Democrats on the opposite side Of
the table, Reed exploded:

over the allotted time, and that
snarls the White House schedule
for the rest of the day.
This is hard on the Generals ner-
vous system, especially when big
wigs from the War or Navy Depart
ments are waiting to discuss mill
tary matters. On such occasions
Watson is not above barging in and
breaking up the conference.
The other day when the sPreSi-
dents old friend, Gov. Bob Kerr OF
Oklahoma, was over-staying his
time-through no fault of his own
Watson walked in and began to par
ade nervously about the room
We'll. here's the undertaken, Mr..

the hint. IF one of your callers

''Sit down and talk to us for
awhile, General" he said. We're

sation."
With sigh, Watson took chair.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26

i
This is read as doubtful day in
planetary direction. There IS a
threatening sign for labor which
seems to presage disagreements
among union leaders.
HEART AND HOME: Women
are under benefic aspects which
presage much activity in the home,
also in shops, offices and factories,
Commentator from heads. of bust
ness organizations should inspire
workers. Love affairs come under
a fortunate sway which promises re-
unions after separations. Romance
will flourish among girls. This is
a lucky wedding day. 1t is not a
fortunate date for making new ac-
quaintances. ~ra
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Steamship
companies which were patronized
before the war will be prominent
in air transportation when peace
has been attained, astrologers pre-
dict. Airplanes that carry large
numbers of passengers and provide
many luxuries will be provided for
travellers who commute between
the United States and Europe.
American interest and aid in re-
building foreign cities will engage
businessmen who must make many
transatlantic trips.
NATIONAL ISSUES: According
to astrology the tendency to remem-
Der past mistakes in international
diplomacy will be encouraged by
fifth columnists Reminders of our
shortsightedness in considering in
ternational problems will be subtly
presented. Former feuds will be re-
called and misjudgments encour-
aged. Suspicious of our Allies will
be sown. Straight thinking and
unflagging loyalties should be the
aim of every American citizens
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Free speech in the United States
may be not only a privilege but
distinct detriment through coming
months. Press and radio specula-
tons and theories regarding the war
and the policies of United Nations
will give cause for misapprehensio
among the Allies and provide dam
gerous pointers for enemy listeners.
Astrologers point out that this ma
ton is inclined to go to extremes
in the use of its energies. Restraint
is not one of our virtues.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of varied ex-
periences in which benefits should
outweigh difficulties. Danger of
quarrels due to nerve strain is FORE
seen
Children born on this day prob
ably will gain more than average
success in life. They should be
taught to subordinate their emo
tons.
