have been inveiged into 1t by the cunning Fuhrer.
 Lord Vansittart contends that most Germans ARE bad, that their mothers DID raise them to be sol- diers, and that we are fighting not merely Hitler, but the entire Ger man nation. The German, he states, does not understand compromise and fair play, he cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and he Is spitful and heartless. We shall not have lasting peace, he asserts until we undertand the German character, until we learn to think and feel in European terms, and, most important until we completely disarm Germany.
 The author proposes not only disarming of Germany's army, navy, and air force, but also total sup pression of all para military organi- cations, remodeling of her govern ment, and introduction of an en- tirely different spirit in her church. es and schools.
 PLENTY NEWS FROM DANNY r OUIS GOLDING'S new novel, h No News From Helen" (Dial Press: $250) is the compelling story of an Englishman who has be- come separated from his wife and little boy during the tragic evacua- ton of the Malay Peninsula. Danny Mather. suffering from the physi- cal ordeal of his search for his loved ones in Japinfested territory is freed at last t return England. There he walks in on strange reunion of his mother and her four sisters. Danny wants to tell his story, but he finds no audience among the old ladies, who still live in the dim past, and he is treated as an intruder.
 But his narrowing and pathetic story does come out in installments punctuated by orders for another round at the village pub. where he has found a willing listener in a girl whose R. A. P. sweetheart has failed to keep all appointment with her. His story is gripping one, and deserves the telling. The reader will share the impatience of Stella who says, and means 1t, If you stop now, I'll scream!' when Danny pauses in his narrative.

 Thorek's youth was spent in the old Austro Hungarian empire, where his father was village sur geon, and his mother midwife on constant call.

ers. Sometimes he was called by
.he special name OF "Lupercus,
meaning protector against wolves"
During the Lupercalia, shepherds
thanked the god for guarding their
flocks against wolves. Priests placed
goats on affairs. and sacrificed them.
Goat skins were cut into strips. and
the priests went about the streets
striking people with them.
Strangely enough. the people
minded little. If any, being struck.
Probably the blows were only Tight
taps, and in any case they were
said to have magic power to do
good.
1t seems long step from that
ancient feast to our modern Valen-
tines Day, and 1t is a long step. Yet
the date was nearly the same.
Seventeen hundred years ago
there lived two men in Italy by the
name of Valentine. A legend says
that both died on the same date
February land both have been
honored as saints. The legend
seems to explain why their name
was chosen for St. Valentines Day.
A story has grown up that one
Of the Valentines had the custom
OF going from house to house to
leave food on the doorsteps Of the
poor"
When the Valentine custom
reached England, it spread far and
wide. but people explained it in q
different way. They said that birds
chose their mates on the 18th of
February. Two famous English
ooets. Chaucer and Shakespeare.
wrote about that belief in their
poems.
However 1t got here, Valentines
Day Is still popular. The art OF
printing made it possible to print
! valentines at small cost. It would
be hard to figure how many mil
lions OF them have been sent
through the mails or delivered In
person
