the victory goal, but at q great price. The
New York Times commented editorially
Saturday: "But the road to Rome Is still
long. That to Berlin is longer. This
is no day for dancing in the streets. It
is day for each of us to settle down
more resolutely and devotedly than ever
before to whatever useful task each can
do best. In no other fashion can we fit
tingly honor the victors Of Naples and
Salerno."
Naples is said to have gone mad with
Joy as the Allied forces took over. The
event is discussed and viewed with a
sense of triumph. On the home front
it presents itself more or less like a movie
sequence, but it is more than that. 1t
is war at its best, which means its worst.
And now all thoughts are concerned with
the road to Rome ard what events will
transpire during the coming days.

Union Dues From Soldiers

Leon Schacter, business manager of
he Meat and Cannery Workers Union,
cents "Smear against union labor"
when the president of the New Jersey
Farm Bureau discloses that soldiers, who
we're furloughed to work in cannerieS in
IN emergency, were required to pay union
1ues. We think Mr.. Schacter is unduly
sensitive. Mr.. Voorhees, did say, when
ne described the incident, that he was
shocked beyond words" He is not the
snly one who feels that way about such
situation. Mr. Schacter, on behalf of
the union, does not deny that the soldiers,
who went into the cannery because man.
power was so short that huge quantities
Of tomatoes were ready to spoil, were re-
uired to pay union dues in order to help
save vital food. On the contrary, he gives
details. The cannerieS were operating
under closed shop agreement, he says,
and therefore nobody could work in them
without paying union dues. The soldiers
didn't have to work there. They could
have gone on soldering at Fort Dix and
let the tomatoes rot.
What happened there has happened
in at least several instances elsewhere.
Emergencies have arisen in which too
scarce foodstuffs would have spoiled for
lack of help to harvest and handle and
process them. The Army has biven fur
loughs to those who volunteered to help.
The men continued to receive their Army
pay, and were permitted to receive also
the wages for the work they did. Under
Army regulations soldiers in uniform are
not permitted to compete with civilian
labor. In time Of war soldiers cannot
take off their uniforms, technically
Though actually, in dirty work. they may
do so occasionally, unofficially).
But theoretically they are in uniform
when they help out in such emergencies,
the nonresident civilian help whose alb
sence caused the emergencies. II these
Fort Dix soldiers had not paid union dues
they would have been competing with
civilians. Since they paid the dues there
was no competition. New Jersey farmers
are described as being Every incensed."

Death of Elinor Glyn is a reminder Of
the progress which the American girl
has made since "the high priestess Of the
god of love" published her "Three Weeks"
way back in 1907. After the first shock
- in fact, about ten years after - the
flapper found herself. Whether Mrs. Glyn
invented or merely discovered ''It," this
word portrayer of events is not prepared to
say, but the girls of the Twenties took 1t
seriously - especially after Clara Bow
manifested the quality on the then silent
screen.
BY the time the Thirties came round,
however, the girls had advanced from It
to Glamour with a capital G and
lower case u. There was stiff competition
among the debs to be chosen the Glamour
Girl Of the Year, and much money was
spent in building up the candidates.
Now G has gone with It into the realm
of the not quite forgotten past. In its
place up bobbed OOmph, as definite yet
as undefinable quality as any of the
others. And now even the OOmph
Girl is growing passe. The Pin-Up Girl
is likely to be sweetly alluring
rather than flamboyantly so. Anyway,
the boys in uniform refuse to be limited
to single type. They are eclectic in
their taste. But how account for the
hep-cats?
It all seems a little elaborate, little
forced. The sweet young things of Queen
Victoria's age may have had different
fashions and different manners, but some
how they evoked the same emotions, and
without all the publicity. Maybe the
sweet young Of the postwar period will
learn a few things from their Great
Grandmamas.

MOST ANCIENT OF FLoCKs
New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
Our old friends-indeed, our old
est friends among the domestic
animals-the sheep and the sheph-
erd dog are returning In good num-
Der to abandoned grasslands Of the
Northeast. Connecticut Is having q
promising revival Of sheep raising
and, generally, in New York and
New England, the sheep population
Is rising after may years OF decline.
The ancient sheep shearing, earli-
est clearing house Of agricultural
lore, has been revived by the Con-
necticut Sheep Breeders Associa-
ton. City fellers, experienced
sheepmen and county agents swap
ideas at these gatherings, as prog
ressive farmers did in the eighteenth
century, George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson among them.
They dress up marvelously :
serene landscape Of pasture and
woodland. They stir, perhaps, q
pleasant nostalgia for the pastoral
age of mankind wi1en economic
man lived by his fiocks alone in
what, for all practical purposes, was
an economy Of abundance; at least,
an abundance of steak and lamb
chops for a well organized tribal
group. At any rate, many novices
are taking a deep and inexplcable
satisfaction in raising sheep, aside
from the poetry of well hung and
well cooked mutton. AS for the pro-
fessional sheepmen, who really
know their muttons, their flocks are
literally oincreasing by leaps and
bounds in the Northeast.

HITLER AND THE POPE
(The Catholic Transcript

According to news reports. the lit
tie man, Hitler, is protecting the
Pope. He has thrown his Nazi
guards around that island of peace
in a warning world, the Vatican.
He is perhaps, meditating what use
he can make of the Vatican and the
Pope in order to further the failing
cause of Germany.
To aid Hitler in his meditation,

from mental and physical break

clique which acts II. his name, we
would recommend the reading Of q
little history, real history. not the
falsifications glorified in 'Mein

and the cosmetic industry and ed
vertising have combined to make
the public acutely conscious Of the
condition and look Of the skin.
The structure Of the skin Is SIM
pie enough. It Is composed Of two
parts. The outer part, or epidermis,
Is made Of several layers Of flat
cells. With the multiplication Of
the bottom layers cells, the top
cells are pushed up and fattened
and form q thickered, closely knit
protection.
OUR PROTECTION
The function Of the skin Is TO
protect the body and its con-
tents. Il insulates against heat and
cold, controls the temperature OF
the body by radiation, sets up sig
mails Of injury through the nerves
1t contains, and helps to free the
body from germs. The skin Is re-
markably elastic, and stretches
with relative ease. When stretched
too far, the inner layer breaks, and
heals with scar tissue.
Most boys and girls IN Adde'S
cence have some difficulty with
pinples and blackheads. Careful
habits Of cleanliness, good diet,
and normal glandular adjustment
with time do away with the pos
sibility Of permanent Inarring for
the majority Of people.
Wrinkles inevitably appear with
the onset Of age. The skin becomes
progressively thin, inelastic, and
wrinkled, and one thing can effec-
lively be done about this natural
change. Plastis surgery or face
lifting Is often followed by even
more pronounced wrinkling. Older
people are prone to carelessness
about cleanliness, and since wrin-
kles are q good place for injection
to form, they hould be taken into
consideration in daily cleansing.
BLENIISHES
Birthmarks and moles present
special problems, best referred TO

to constant irritation, and birth

much mental anguish has been put
to an end by their use. Superflous

America he could preach one SUM-
day In Moody's church. Moody
thought so little Of him that he ar
ranged that the sermon be preached
on a Sunday when he himself was
to be absent from the pulpit.
Upon his return, Moody found ev-
eryorle talking about the young
Englishman. So the old evangelist
went to a meeting and sat himself
down, intent upon finding out just
what it was this youngster had.
To his amazement he found him
preaching on just one theme,
namely, that God loves the sinner.
He is not standing behind him with
a two-edged sword, ready to hew
him down. Instead, he is behind
him with love, and the sinner is
running away from this love SO
freely offered.
Moody, after listening to Moor
house for a few evenings, gave up
his former ideas and after that
preached as the young Englishman
did, that God is love. 1t made a
vast difference on the preaching
Of the older man and greatly added
TO the power of his message.

October 8 to 8 is known as Fire Pre-
vention Week. At no time should vigil
lance in this respect be apparent. This
year more than ever we call the attention
to the dangers of fire hazards, for the
simple reason that youth seems to be on
the rampage and indulging in FRANKS,
careless and even malicious, which are
the cause of serious fires. One Of the
chief menaces is the careless dropping
of cigarettes. During season such as
we have been experiencing in this local
ity, extremely dry, a cigarette tossed
carelessly into dry grass may be the cause
subsequently of bad fire. The dating OF
Fire Prevention Week at this particular
time is because the spectacular historic
Chicago fire began on October 8, 1871.
Since that time there have been other
fires of terrifying proportions Let US
DO all we can during this week and every
week of the year to avoid the causes OF
fire, and to apprehend those who play
with fire; to report all fire mischief max
ers to the proper authorities. We. Will
speak again this week about fire facts.
