Two kinds Of targets are used
here-cloth sleeve targets about
80 inches in diameter and Is feet

An enlisted man usually goes

Inevitable Tax Trend

The new Congress will have to deal with
measures for increased taxes. It Is pretty
generally admitted that corporations and
higher-income brackets have been taxed
about to the point of diminishing returns.
A recent statement by Secretary Nor
genthau shows that seven-eights of the
national income in this country Is now
received by those whose annual earnings
are $4,000 or less. How much more can
the smaller incomes be taxed? That is
the burning question. White-collar
workers with fixed incomes suffer from
present taxes, as they have no "war
wages" How then can tax revenue
be secured from war cash" OF
those crowding the stores? The
practical answer seems to be sales tax.
That would be simple of collection and
would take a constant percentage of the
surplus purchasing power which the
Treasury seeks, from those best able to
pay it.
Senator George says that very much
higher income tax will wreck us. The
sales tax meets detectives of the Vinson
plan to syphon off war earnings such as
create initiation.

When the tankers on the Atlantic
coast were cut off by war, everyone could
understand why gasoline and fue1 oil had
to be rationed In that area, especially
when our armed forces across the Allan
tic had to be supplied from the Eastern
Seaboard.
But what the public cannot under
stand is that when it is matter Of record
that our crude oil supplies are being used
several times as fast as new sources are
being discovered, Federal policy is main
tanned of holding crude oil prices so low
that validating Is discouraged because
possible return does not justify risk Of
production.
It is one thing to hold prices to rea-
sonable level-it is another thing to hold
them at unreasonably low levels when all
costs of production, including Federal
taxation, have been advanced to record
high levels.
It has often been necessary to grant
wage and price increases to meet chang
ing conditions. That does not mean un-
controlled initiation. Instead, 1t means
encouragement of production which in
creaSeS supplies. Plentiful supplies hold
down prices and prevent initiation, which
is caused by scarcity.
Validating for oil is risky business.
1t can no longer be done at pre-war costs.
Policies which discourage new drilling
amount to planned oil shortage" Reg
ulators of American production must
encourage SURPRISES instead Of promot-
ing scarcitieS.

Absentee Women

The average employer in many indus
tries would be willing to hire a larger
percentage of women. Many are eager
to- do so, particularly in view of the
present uncertainty as to whether any
man under 38-or will it soon be under
46?-really is "draft-proof." The de-
terrent is that women on the whole, are
much less reliable than men. Their
absenteeism rate often is many times as
high as that among men. Since women,
as a sex, are as reliable as men in other
fields, manpower students have been
studying the reasons for their undesir
ability as war workers. They have come
up with proof of what logic told us long
ago. Women are less reliable because,
unlike men, they are trying to swing two
Jobs simultaneously. For eight hours a
day, or so, they work in the factory. Then
they try in leisure time to do houSeWork
and home maintenance that should take
another eight hours.
Inevitably they break under the strain.
They are late at work. They are sick and
do not come at all. They are lethargic
and can't keep up their end of the work.
These things happen when they are han
dicapped only by the strain of double
jobs. But this is a small part of the
picture With the husband either work.
ing or away from home, the wife must
market, bank, and supervise her chill
drens education, recreation and physi-
cal care. This cannot always be done in
the off-hours not spent on the factory
Job. It involves absences for which no
mother can be blamed, but which no en-
ployer can permit to become general.
Moreover, with both parents away dur
ing the day, children are exposed to ply
steal, mental and moral hazards. They
are free to play where accident is prob
able; they do not eat properly, they asSo-
ciate with whatever companions seem
most glamorous and often least desirable;
they do not do their home work; they
are deprived of parental companionship
and grow out OF the family circle. The
growing need for women war workers is
raising a great many questions which will
not answer themselves. They will require
intelligent and perhaps expensive COM
munity attention.

Press Comment
WINTER, MILD OR WILD
New York Herald

(NeW xOrk kderalQ
Fall styles for caterpillars IN
Connecticut are reported to show
small yet significant notifications
from the previous year. Black fur
trimming at the ends Is somewhat
less In depth, with an unbroken line
Of brown between, indicating defin-
lite traces Of military influence. This
advance showing leads some local
weather prophets to predict mod
crate winter, with cold snaps at
either end and q mild interval be-
tween. The prophet Of CRANKY,
Norwood T. Case, does not agree
with this forecast. He has studied
the heavens, storms, skies, winds,
great and small, for many years,
and believes there are certain I'M
changeables that determine what
nature will do for or to US in the
months to come. He thinks the COM
ing winter Is likely to begin early,
TO be characterized by heavy SHOWS
and cold weather, particularly at
the beginning. Mr.. Case believes
that year In and year out, the total
Of moisture In the form Of rain or
snow Is about the same. SO far, he
thinks there has been a deficiency Of
rain, which Is likely to come later
as sleet or snow. Another indication
Of rough going ahead he considers,
Is the fact that migratory birds are
flying South earlier than usual, in
GLIDING robins, blackbirds and geese.
More rain and cold weather may
therefore be expected before long, he
thinks. Mr.. Case has heard Of the
forecasts based on the caterpillar's
fall ensemble, but sees no reason to
change his opinion. II am not much
Of caterpillar man myself" is his
restrained comment.

Autumn's High Colors

Sumac. 1t may be poison to some, but
this time of year, if you drive out bit,
you see it along the roadside, glowing and
slightly. There may be broken down stone
wall or dry brown shrubbery for back
ground, but sumac in Autumn presents
bright appearance, pleasant splotch
of color when other verdure is on the way
out. It is a common occurrence on the
Connecticut landscape this time of year,
slightly in the morning sunlight, and
just as slightly in the late afternoon
hours.
Maple trees Those which have not
lost the last leaves are still Haunting
their fairness to the passersby. Golden
yellow ones and scarlet red ones. Now
and again one-tone tree hits you in the
eye. Then again blending of the reds;
or an entirely yellow one. Today these
gaily dressed trees, too, are on the way
cut.
Oaks. There they stand, majestic and
tall. They are not the striking red like
the naples, but of ricl dark red. In the
late afternoon sun looking into the woods
the play of light gives them character.
Some are all red, others green and red.
Perhaps the next time you drive along
the country way there will be little left
OF today'S brilliant Autumn picture. Trees
that yesterday were riot of color, will
today be down to the last leaf; the frs
alone showing green amid the StarkneSS

From a Farmer

From Granville, New York, Ernest C.
Etrobeck, Secretary of the Dairymens
League Cooperative Association, says that
the League predicted butter shortage
two years ago but that official Washing
ton ignored the warning.
"The small butter making farmers are
penalized by a rollback of prices which
the housewives are told is to save them
money, although the rollback of five
cents a pound means an average saving
oE only sixty cents per year per person.
Despite Washington talk of subsidy pay
ments to make up to the farmer what he
loses on the rollback, the small farmer
making less than 1000 pounds OF butter
monthly gets no subsidy. The result is
less butter for consumers"
Mr.. Strobeck says all the farmers want
Al production cost prices, and that sub.
8Idles merely squander public money and
abeFpetuate the policy Of scarcity.

How are jobs going to be found
when war is over? That is a
thought troubling millions Of men
and women at work in defense in
dustrieS and allied lines. When
America beats its swords into plow-
shares, what then?
Business and industry are tack
ling this question right now, and
laying plans for q speedy change
over to increased civilian manufac-
ture when the time comes. They
are doing this while yet turning out
more and better arms, trying to
figure out peacetime applications
Of the articles of war, or the peace
time use of the principles embodied
in defensive and offensive weapons.
New products have been develop
ed right up to the point Of going on
the market. When the war ends
these will be brought out of safe
keeping and put into production.
The last war was followed by the
rise Of several new industries as
well as the expansion Of others

Selected Poem
HUNTING SONG

HUNTING SONG
(Julia Collins Ardayne in the New YORK 1lmes'
Last night a Hunters Moon lay low
In the arms of an autumn hill;
And today the huntsmen meet to ride
Sure and fast DER the countryside
And the hounds cry free and the hounds cry lar
Lie STILL little fox; stay where you are.
The coats are red and the mounts are sleek;
On they go past the fence near the creek;
Through stubble dried in last nights lrost
They ride, little fox, nor count the cost
of your vivid life-they have crossed the nil
Be Sly little fox, lie low and still.
Warm is the sun and blue the sky.
The world is sweet little fox; SO lie
Still, for the wind blows dry from the south;
The hounds can't scent when the field Is dry
Be still, little fox be shrewd and sly.
The hunt is over: the hounds are back
Gone is the sunshine-the shadows are black.
And the stars come out and the Hunters Moon
Shines again where 1t shone last night;
And the leaves scarce move quiet shadows creep
Come out, little fox the huntsmen sleep.

began forthwith to do the thing
he always wanted to do, and the
result was that fame and fortune
were his in, q comparatively few
years. His clever wife pointed out
to him the bright road of achieve
ment which ran through the desc
lutte wilderness. Of disappointment
and failure.
Our first thought when trouble
comes upon us, is that God Is pun
ishing us for some evil act. But
why should God wish to punish us?
Gods desire Is to reform US, to
renake our lives and strengthen
them, TO teach US lessons Of last
ing value. Every time He causes us
to fail. 1t Is that He may rescue us
from something which endangers
our real destiny; or that He may
start us on some pathway Of light
which we would never have chosen
had we followed our own impulses.
There are plenty Of opportunities
for success wrapped up IN every
failure, II we viii only take the
trouble 10 look for them. God al
lows Us to fail IN one area 50 that
we may move from that place OF
baErenness into some better and
happier place He has prepared for
