You said you know OF no substi-

ago I suffered with malaria, and
never used quinine, for either the

Answer-It is news to me that any
such use was made Of eucalyptus In

was used in medicine as an anti

World of Chemistry Looms

The postwar world ir which America will carry leadership in industry and commerce will depend more on test tubes and research than on geographical ex- ploration, says Morris Lawrence, direc- tor of chemical engineering of Interna- tional Correspondence Schools.
 Mans worldwide needs for the three essentials of food, clothing, and shelter will be furnished by chemistry rather than by discovery of new fuel sources, ores, or raw materials. Chemists will explore in the laboratory rather than in the jungle to uncover new sources of power and new materials.
 We can even now watch the beginning o1 this development MT. Lawrence points to the fact that the war has already cut off our supplies of natural silk and rubber and we are already rush. ing to completion the industrial plants that will create our own supplies by methods the chemists discovered
 More things will be nodded of plaSticS, more clothing will be woven from casein and cellulose filaments, more foods will be derived from chemical changes. Final ly, more power will be secured from fuels we now burn Wastefully, and more hu- man choice, and therefore more chance for human error, will be eliminated by electronicS
 The need of the postwar period, as MT. Lawrence clearly shows, will be for men with technical training-men cap- able of taking their place in the ranks of these new pioneers, men of science to blaze trails for industry.

A Thought for Today
Nisei WACs

The Won.en'S Army Corps has decided 10 accept limited number of women of Japanese descent beginning September l, which is when the SuperfluouS auxiliary drops out of what used to be the WAAC. That decision is highly commendabe The only unfortunate thing is that it should be felt necessary to limit the number of applications that will be accepted. Pre- Eumably the Army is anxious not to lead with it's chin into what it assumes to be public an1ipathy to all persons of Japan csc extraction. But we oo not believe that there is any such general antipathy Before Pearl HarbOr some 5000 Japanese Americans had been inducted into the Army without discrimination. So far as there is any way of learning, they have made excellent soldiers. Last spring combat unit of Japanese-American volun- teers, partly from Hawaii and partly from the mainland, was organized. Everybody who has come into contact with it. in cluding it's Caucasian officers, feel that there IS no better outfit in the Army The white officers insist that they would be slant-eyed, brown-skinned men.
 After all, these Japanese Americans are largely citizens, born in the United States, WllO IlcVCI Have SeI eyes OH the ld1lQ Ol their ancestors and have no greater in- tereSt in it than Irish-Americans have in Ireland, German-Americans, in Ger many, Greco-Americans in Greece, Ital- ian-Americans in Italy, or Anglo-Ameri- cans in England. Why, then do we in- sist in treating them as people apart as men and women without a country? There is no limitation upon the number of Austro-American women the WAACS will accept, CT of Russo-Americans.
 If Americaniam means anything, and we insist that it means a lot, it is that every man, woman and child shall re- ceive equal opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, or economic or social back ground. There is no gerater privilege than to risk death for ones country or, in the case of most women, to help the men who risk death. Japanese American women, Nisei, are entitled to that privi- lege as much as those whose parents mi grated to our shores from Europe or from western Asia.

One Solution to Manpower Shortage

Up in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, town and city dwellers have adopted a slogan; "No crop lost through lack of labor" And they are proceeding to make that slogan a reality.
 The country's 5000 farmers are receiv- ing volunteer help from many more than that number of volunteer "hired men" who won't take a cent for their work Some of them are little soft and some are trifle slow, but they are all willing And, organized by colleges and county agents and business clubs, they're get ting the harvest in. It is encouraging to hear about the Jefferson County citizens after reading too many stories, in this labor-short year, of toWnsfolk who are indifferent and farmers who don't want to be bothered by city help who eat more than they earn.
 For any communities who want to follow this excellent example, here is tip worth remembering: Most of the volunteer farm work in Jefferson county is done in the evening. This allows the butcher and baker and corner druggist to carry on their business as usual, and also pre- vents their becoming ill from the con- bination of unaccustomed eXertiOn and midday heat.

Stumbling Through

John Bovingdonw, the alleged ballet dancer and Office of Economic Warfare expert, has gone, and is now in the process of being forgotten. But the impression fingers that his dismissal is another example of our wartime govern ment's remarkable ability to shut it's eyes, fire gun in the air, and have bird fall at it's feet. This time it was Congressman Martin Dies who pulled the trigger when he charged Mr. Bovingdon with two odiouS departures from the American norm Without shouldering too much of the burden of proof, the HaWkShaW of un-Americansm accused MT. Bovingdon of being former premier danSeur and man of communistic ten dencies. But the alleged ballet dancer didn't get the hook because of Congress- man Dies charges. What seems to have cost MT. Bovingdon his $6,500-a-year job was that part of his life history revealed in his answer to these charges. It 'ap- peared that some of this history was as new to Civil Service and DEW as it was to the public. It also appeared that these agencies had investigated him no farther than his own recommendation of himself before hiring him. What Mr. Bovingdon told Civil Service and DEW was true, all right. He did have a degree in econom- ics, summl cum laude, and Phil Beta Kappa key from Harvard. He had taught economics at Keio University in Tokyo, and had travelled extensively and knew several languages, including Japanese anc Russian. And it was true that he had been ecvnofic adviser to woolen firm.
 But it took the Dies accusations to reveal that this Japanese economic ex- pert hadn't been in Japan for 23 years; that his business experience con- sisted of something less than two years with this woolen company, between 1920 and 1922; that he conceived of lectures on economics as something to be illustrated by rhythmic bodily movements while clad in modest G-string; that he had belonged to band "groping toward intuitive communica- tion"; that, at age 50, he entered Colum- bia University Teachers College to "tie up his equipment into something he could sell and then become part of modern organized life"
 That was in 1940, and three years later Mr. BUvingdon sold this bundle of equip rent to OEW at considerably more than the price of hay. Next time OEW will probably be more careful before it fills such an important and essentially prac- tical job. But it had to learn its lesson

Working closely with peppery, go-getting Admiral Land, Vick- cry has been the key man reSpon- sible for this country's phenom- inal success in shipbuilding. But the current pickering over the fast ships he planned two years ago, and the Navy's attempt to take away the turbines made for these ships, has him down.
 After Vickery arranged two years ago for mass production of turbines, the oW-thinking Navy now wants to take over these turbines for Secretary KnoX's much ballyhooed 7-ocean Navy to be finished in 1949.
 Q. Another fly in Vickery's oint-
 ment is the much publicizcd
 William Francis Gibbs, brought
 to Washington by the Navy for
 the purpose of offsetting, if not
 stymying, Vickery.
 Though Gibbs has a great repu- tation as a naval architect the is also an astute Wall Street lawyer), Vickery has run circles around him when it comes to ship design and planning.
 Thanks to fulsome plugs in Time Magazine, the public has come to think of Gibbs as the designer of the Liberty Ship. Ac- tually, the Liberty was designed fifty years ago by the British firm of William R. Thompson, Ltd, and has been used ever since as a British tramp. Its secret is reciprocating steam engine (no turbine) which is easy to build. Gibbs slightly modifqied the ship for American war use.
 GIBBS VS. VICKERY
 Back before Pearl Harbor, when production of 11-knot Libertys first began, Admiral Vickery called in Gibbs and asked him handle the procurement and production of 100 faster ships. Gibbs got things so snarled up and wanted so much money for the ships (arOund $5,000,000 above expenses) that Vickery took the job away from him.
 Gibbs has been sore at Wick cry has been sore at Vickery ever since.
 Gibbs is not sore at the Navy, however. From the Navy he gets around $9,0O0,0O0 worth of busi- ness annually. For the Navy he maintains 2,000 draftsmen in his
