Perhaps we have been taking this war
too seriously. Let's take time off from
such petty trritationS as rationing, alb
senteeiSm, initiation and politics, and
rejoice that one Of Milady'S more aggra-
waiting problems has been Solved No
longer need she worry whether to wear
cotton stockings, 60 frankly barelegged,
or have everybody know at first glance
that her legs are painted. Thanks to the
devotion of New York scientist whose
name escapes US, Milady now can have a
paint Job, renewed economically at home
on short notice, that will fool all but
experts and other women. Word of this
startling development has been obtained
from q reluctant public relations repre-
sentative, who intersperseS his scientific
description with such bon motS as 1.-THE
most attractive part Of woman are her
legs, as they are the first thing noticed
by everyone"
When war cut us off from new supplies
of silk and diverted nylon to military
uses, American women found themselves
up against it, BeauticianS promptly Sug-
rested that legs be painted to resemble
silk stockings. There was one major diff
ficulty. The better hosiery has q seam
down the back. Theoretically, 1t is pos
Sible to paint such seam directly onto
the leg. But unless q woman Is q con-
tortionist and how many American
women are contortioniStS? - 1t Is hard
to bring the calf of the leg, the hand and
the eyes into such position that seam
can be painted that does not wander or
waver or vary in thickness here and
there. An alternative was to press Hubby
into service as an artist. But too often
Hubby was having his own troubles with
a bow tie, or searching frantically for
studs and links, and was In no mood to
do justice to inscribiEg seams on his
wife's painted legs. Moreover, bachelor
girls are Just as anxious to have their
painted stockings on straight as wives
are.
The device now available enables any
woman to paint her own stocking seam
onto her leg without tying herself into a
knot or acquiring an artistic husband.
It Is 50 simple that any dub could do 1t.
We hope that you will not dismiss this
information too lightly merely because
It Is spring. If you have ever noticed how
much a straight stocking seam adds to
the attractiveness Of any woman, you
viii not belittle the matter. Perhaps
the owl should. broadcast word of the
invention to Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. 1t
would provide clinching proof Of Ameri-
can confidence that we can lick the Axis
with one hand tied behind our back and
the other welding paint brush.

In message to the Social Democratic
weekly, the New Leader, President
Roosevelt expressed concern because
"over wide areas of the earth freedom
of the press Is now but bitter men,
ory." He went on to point out, truly,
that all free institutions are endang-
cred by any encroachment on liberty of
speech or Of the press. "This," he said,
Should emphasize anew to all of us the
necessity for constant vigilance which
now, as always, is the price of liberty and
particularly liberty of the press" Stimuli
taneously, the President was sitting tight
on his dictum that the United Nations
press shall be barred from even setting
its impious foot on the sacred soil of the
Hot Springs, Va, hotel where allied con-
ferees are to discuss international food
problems. There will be innocuous
reporters will be permitted. For the rest,
It is none of the public's dashed business
what its hired men are doing about the
food situation. Repression feeds upon
repression. If the press can be barred
from foods conference, it can be barred
from any conference. It can be kept
out of every public building In Wash
ington. It con be excluded from the Cap
ital City entirely. It won't be. But it
can, Just as legitimateIy as it can be for
hidden to enter the Hot Springs hotel.
In their anxiety to help win this war,
the newspapers have leaned over back
ward to censor themselves. With only
occasional, usually unintentional lapses,
they have religiously needed the requests
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's censorship agencies,
though they were under no legal compul-
sion to do so. When the President made
his famous secret tour Of the nation the
newspapers co-operated, against their
better judgment, to the point Of absurd
10y. For better reasons they observed the
same silence when Mr.. Roosevelt went 70
~asahlanca. This was not done without
anxiety. Nobody knows better than
working newspapermen how the de-
nands Of public officials grow, once any
slightest concession has been mace IN

Overturned

Philip Murray'S story that $4,000 per-
sons soon will be thrown out of employ
ment, as we shut down war plants to stop
overproduction, can do much harm II,
as seems likely, the Clio chief is off on
the wrong foot,
There have been errors in planning,
due largely to the mad rush required to
get out of the wooden-gun military
economy before it is too late. But also
there is necessary continual shifting in
emphasis on various types of defensive
and offensive weapons No human being
could possibly plot our war progress
accurately enough so that frequently we
should not have to shut down here and
open up somewhere else.
Always there have been two jobs wait
ing for every man freed by this ebb and
flow in production. Does Mr.. Murray
know that this is not the case today?

END OF DEvALUATIoN POWERS
(New York TimesJ


The Senate acted wisely in It's
unanimous vote to terminate the
power of the President to devalue
the dollar. It is difficult to UNDER
stand why the Administration even
asked for its extension. There Is no
need or excuse for renewing that
power at this time. What remained
Of 1t was, In any case, SO limited in
scope, that 1t would have been OF lit
tie use, even II we accept the false
promises on which the case for
competitive devalation rests. BY ask
ing for q renewal OF this power the
Administration only strengthened
the case Of those who charge that 1t
will not give up any emergency
power, once gained, until 1t Is
forced TO do so. BY itself asking for
q termination Of the dollar-devalu-
alton powers the Administration
could have done much TO answer
these charges.
The conclusive argument for
terminating the dollar-devaluation
powers now was put to Secretary
Morgenthau by Senator Taft: Here
you are asking the people to buy
si3 900, 900. 600 Of bonds and at the
same time you come up here and
ask US for the power to devalue the
bonds they are asked to buy. It Is a
particularly bad time to ask for re-
newal of these powers"
One might add that IL was an in
consistent request for an Admins
tration that now processes TO be
fighting with all its force against
imitation.

1T SEEMS ANzERICANS<LOVE
ANIMALS

New York Herald Tribune)
From time to time the correspond
ents have sent back little items
telling how American soldiers. no
matter where stationed. have man
aged somehow to surround them
selves with pets. Kangaroos in AUS
tralia, monkeys In Bataan, no mat
ter where-they always make friends
with the local beasts. The same
trait. 1t now appears, may be OBJ
served In North Africa. where our
soldiers are gathering up dogs,
burros and anything else they can
find. Without making invidious COM
parsons, 1t does appear that the
Americans have this animal-collect-
ing trait more highly developed than
any other people.
Some Of the correspondent have
said that the Americans are some
times shocked" at the callousness,
and even the cruelty, Of other people
toward animals. This Is hardly sur
prising. In the old days Of our own
West It was often remarked that,
although the Plains Indians were
superb horsemen, they knew little
about caring for their mounts. Like
wise. many Of the early South.
western trail drivers noted That some
Of the Mexican vaqueros, otherwise
competent hands and good men,

The question of child care while
mothers go to work becomes more Seri-
Gus as the days go by. A booklet entitled,
Women at Work in Wartime, states:
"By the end of 194S, it is estimated that
care will have to be provided for between
two and three million children while
mothers are at work." The article goes
on to state that for about three-fourths
of these, mothers will find someone to
take over the caring for Of the homes
and these children, and for the other one
quarter communities must provide sys-
tenn of care. We all know that in many
instances the solving of the care of chill
dren while mothers work is not going to
work out. Already children are suffer-
ing through this conditions; they are be-
coming unmanageable, and the home
Setup is all wrong. and what is more
likely the situation will continue all
wrong even though child care projects do
much to help out the situation. AL this
means the starting of new projects
whereas we now have so many projects
of so many diversified kinds that the
social problems of the day seem in sort
of muddle.

Peter Eason to the east by
tank car increased 10 over $4,000
barrels q day during the second week
In April. Railroad men say Il win
90 TO q full million barrels q day
before long, Normal delivery BY
tanker used TO be is million bar
rels q day to thu eastern seaboard,
so deliveries will be two-thirds Of
pre-war average,
This increase In deliveries by tank
car Is directly attributable to the
opening Of the 2a-inch pipeline from
Texas to Norris City, Ill, several
weeks ago. That meant the tank
cars didn't have 10 go all the way
back to Texas oil fields to he re-
filled. The time for q round trip
for each tank car was thus reduced
from an average Of II days to an
average Of 10 days, meaning that
they could haul just that much
more stuff. !
PIPELINE NEAR COMPLETION
BY July. this big inch pipeline
will be completed all the way to
Philadelphia and New York, permit
ting delivery of as much as 100000
barrels q day to the east by this
means,
Furthermore, by the end Of l94S
1t Is hoped to have a second, 20-inch
pipeline completed, paralleling and
running over the same right Of way
as the 24-inch, permitting delivery
Of another 100000 barrels q day.
Add to that the delivery Of ape
proximately 200, 900 barrels q day by
barge. and 1t may begin TO appear
that by Jan, !, 1914, deliveries Of
petroleum products to the east
might even be above the l,5 million
barrels q day which was normal
back In l04l when all the oil used
to come into the east by tanker
through the Gulf and up the Attain
tic coast.
But there are a copule Of catches
in that, ad here's where the bad
news comes In.
Rad WITH THE GOOD
First, when the "a inch ard 20
inch pipelines are completed the H.
600 or more tank cars now hauling
petroleum products to the east over
the rails viii have to go back In SER
vice over the long haul, all the way
from Texas and back. That win
again increase the time required
for one round trip to y days and
will cut down the amount that can
be delivered to the east by tank car
from q million or more barrels q
day to 100000 barrels day.
Second, petroleum reserve stocks
on the eastern seaboard are now
lower than they have ever Teen.
The American Petroleum Institute
figures Just released show that east
ern oil stocks as of April 10 were
only 28.8 per cent Of the average re-
serve stock on hand at this time Of
year in 1910 and Al.
Third. nobody knows what the
Army and Navy requirements are
except the Army and Navy, and
they can't tell. Also. they don't
know what their unex ected re-
quirements may be a month, two
months or six months ahead. That
the services will continue to draw
upon these eastern deliveries is fair
" obvious. A sudden demand Tor an
extra supply for some convoy may
mean that any previous calculation
may have to be wastebasketed on 10
minutes notice.
