Honorary degrees went to two out
standing persons at the sixty-fifth com
mencement exercises at Smith College
this week One of these was DR.. WI
Yi-sang, president of Ginning College in
China; the other to Sigrid Undset, Nor
Wegian novelist. Both have contributed
much in their particular fields, the
former in education, the latter in writ
ing. Madame Undset, convert to the
Catholic religion, is representative OF
a very old civilization, which was pretty
much outraged in it's recent taking over
by Germany. Serious and stern her
demeanor is in line with the character OF
writing. Her departure from her
native Norway with it's rugged back
ground so often described by her in her
books followed close on the heels of the
death of her son, one of the many sacri-
fees demanded of her in the present
world conflict.

enjoying, very wet season. AS a matter
of fact if the rains continue in these
parts we may come under that category
ourselves. Rain has been pretty plenti-
full too much so for the early planting.
In the midwest, however, it is said big
crop losses will be heavy Rain has been
drenching the country out there for
days, SO perhaps leaden skies are
an aftermath of western rain. Fields are
saturated, it is stated, and creeks and
streams are full to overlooking. Some
rain is needed but the farmers are now
fearing that crops and produce will be
month behind Moving south little
to the flood areas corn, oats, and wheat
have been destroyed, and many states
report loss of the corn crop. Much OF
the produce in those states is under
water.

NUTRITION

Animal or man might live for
time on diet which provides rea-
sorsble amounts and proportions Of
protein, carbohydrate Starch or
sugar. and fat but cannot thrive
unless The diet includes adequate
amounts of the essential vitanlins
and minerals ard celluIose. Thus
plain wheat will sustain animal OF
man much longer than refined white
flour will, If the diet is restricted
to wheat or flouc and water; he
cause the refined -four consists OF
starch and little else; whereas the
plain wheat includes considerable
vitGlIlin B-complex and some vita
min A and vitamin E, as well as
considerable mineral matter (espe-
cially calcium ard phosphorus) and
fair amount OF cellulose. The
kind OF protein (nitrogenous mate
riaD in wheat. however, is partly
incomplete, that is. while 1t will
maintain life but it will not support
growth as well as complete pro-
tein does, for instance the protein
in milk, cheese, meat Or eggs.
Within the past ten or fifteen
years newer knowledge has made
radical changes of our concepts Of
food, dieting and nutrition neces-
sary. Whoever follows a "diet list"
or program which was devised or
prescribed more than ten years ago
is, therefore, likely to derive little
good from it, maybe real harm.
Navy beans and peas are famous
as protein FOODS, nut the p1oce:G.
in them is incomplete. Soy beans,
however, contain complete protein
(glycerin) as well as some incom-
plete protein 1egumelir). MIX
and cheese contain two proteins
(casein and 1actalbumin) bon 49,
plete Wheat contains two proteins
(gliadin and glutenim the gliadin
is partially incomplete, the glutenir
is complete. Lean meat contaiW
two proteins albumin and myosin)
both complete.
In general the protein Deficiencies
of the cereal grains is most readil,
made up by milk in the diet.
Again the dictum "a quart Of mill
a day for every child" proves soune
from the standpoint of nutrition
I'd amend 1t to read three pints
day for every child, of fresh milk
evaporated milk, cream, skim milk
buttermilk. or the equivalent in any
item in which milk is main in
including cheese of any
kind, of course.

Liberty vessels, but Admiral Wick
cry told him it would make the
vessels top-heavy and he should
go to see William F.. Gibbs, the
naval designer, and get him to
draw design. Architect Gibbs
fiddled around with the plans for
some time, got nowhere.
SO Kaiser came back to the
Maritime Commission, which itself
made the drawings for converting
Liberty ships into airplane car
riers. The drawings were sent
over to the Navy Department,
but the Navy would have none
of 1t. Kaiser, however, went
ahead.
And those are the airplane car
riers, which Secretary of Navy
Knox has now ballyhooed as If
they were the great achievement
of a Navy which was still dream
ing about giant battlewagons re-
quiring a couple of years to build.

Last month, Secretary Knox
issued another piece of Navy bally-
hoo9 which made interesting read
ing. but which mad absolutely
nothing to do with the Navy. He
announced the good news that
number of airplane carriers con-
verted from merchant vessels were
being launched, and that many
more would be launched soon.
However, the amazing truth
is that the Navy did not even
know these particular airplane
carriers were being constructed.
Shortly before the Knox bally-
hoo, fortnight Rear Admiral
GERRY" Land, chairman of the
Maritime Commission, together
with far-sighted Rear Admiral
Howard Vikery, his construction
commissioner were comforting
with Vice Admiral Fred Horne

and in charge of Naval Opera

asking the Maritime Commission

piled Horne, 81 thought you were
building some transports"
mo" replied Land. we're
building flat-tops. They carry
planes"
"When will they be finishcd?"
asked Vice Admiral Horne.
"This year." replied Land.
The Navy was so delighted that
five days before Secretary Knox
made his announcement Of the
new airplane carriers, his Admirals
sent over TO the Henry Kaiser
office, which was building the car
riers, and offered to take over the
whole program. This the MARI
time Commission refused. They
had started the program, and
proposed finishing it.

LEWIS WANTS IN
New York Sum

For public consumption William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, lets it be
known that the application of John
L. Lewis's United Mine Workers for
retaliation with the A. F. of L.
will have orderly and sympathetic
consideration by that organizations
executive council. Privately, Mr..
Green must regard the application
with suspicion and misgiving. Lewis
broke with the A. F.. of L. in
1885 when it would not follow his
labor policies. He broke with the
C. I. o. last year for similar reasons.

In between came an unsuccessful
attempt to impose his political Will
on his followers.
The present leader Of the A. F. OF
L. has been conspicuously unsuc-
cessful in Kidding its affiliated or
ganizations of racketeers and the
exploiters of rank-and-file mem
bers. He has at various times
confessed inability to influence the
acts OF leaders Of these affiliated
unions. Can he regard without mis-
giving the knocking at the door OF
one who has been bold, shrewd and
deNoted to his own ends? Can he
help wondering how long he would
last as president If John L. Lewis,
backed by big and powerful union
came back into the inner councils
of the senior labor organization?
There is little likelihood that the
Lewis application has anything to
do with the present test of strength
with the War Labor Board; ap-
proval of the application would be
unlikely, in the normal course of
events, for several months. The ap-
plication does fit in with some part
of Lewis's long-term plans, but just
what those are does not appear at
the moment.

Don't go around with a chip on

Keep your voice low and pleasant.
BE KIND TO CLERKS
Strain a point to be cooperative.
Try to put yourself in the place
Of the rushed, tired, distracted
salesperson who isn't as helpful as
you think he or she might be.
If possible, choose uncrcwded
hours for your shopping, marketing.
eating In restaurants, even If it does
take some planning.
Know what you want, and don't
waste time trying to decide between
this and that. If you really have to
think about purchase, say SO and
go somewhere and think, instead of
keeping a salesperson from helping
waiting customers.
These are Just common sense pre-
cautions we should all take II we
are going to control the epidemic
