One of the most entertaining re-
cent New York fashion luncheons
was one at which Miss Anne Lloyd,
chief Of the women welders at the
Todd Shipyards in Hoboken, was
the guest Of honor. Women work
ing with men at these jobs that call
for physical stamina and a mans
work for a mans pay have not lost
their interest in feminine, pretty
clothes, though their work compels
them to wear clothes designed
strictly for safety, Miss Lloyd
stated.
She appeared wearing her welder's
uniform, two-piece garment of
chrome tanned leather, needed, first,
for protection against the hazards
Of electric welding, and next, for
protection against the hazards of
draughts and cold winds in which
she works. These women in the
shipyards receive no pampering,
they work outdoors and indoor in
the cold. On their heads are safety
helmets that give them the appear
ance of man from Mars, but they
carry their clumsy uniforms grace
fully, conscious that the work they
are doing serves a real need.
Miss Lloyd proudly announced
that they had had no single bad &C
cident among the women in the
plant in the six months they have
been working, which speaks we'll for
the safety devices and work clothing
designed for the women, as well as
their performance on the job.
The Greater New York Safety
Council in recent convention gave
timely consideration to safety stand
ards for women's work clothing, and
these standards now await approval
from the Government. When this has
been granted, these standards will
be adopted by clothing manufac-
turers.

Army Diet Has
All Vitani1ns
Necessary
R., E1:fL NJ Dn.L
By Edith NJ. Barber

why doesn't the Army give vita
min concentrates to the men? I
should think that they would need
them" This question came to me
recently from a man who has found
that daily dose of concentrates has
improved his health greatly. The
answer IS that a soldier, on what is
known as the field ration which is
In use at camps and centers, is sup
piled with food which gives him $3.50
calories a day, plenty Of protein,
minerals and vitamins and enough
fats. sugar and cereals to supply the
needs Of his active life. This is more
food than civilians engaged in any,
thing but heavy industry need.
The Army may use vitamin con-
centrates for the package field ra-
tons which are packed in units for
use Of men on expeditions which
take them away from their bases.
Foods naturally high in these es-
sentials and which can be deny
drafted 80 that they will take up
small space. are used. and supple
mented when necessary. It has been
recognized that an adequate diet Is
one Of the most important weapons
Of war.
A high caloric diet chosen from a
large variety OF foods is bound to
provide more Of the necessary ele-
ments for good nutrition than a less
liberal diet. If the foods are badly
chosen, there may be shortages Of
certain essentials no matter how
large a quantity OF these is eaten.
On q low calorie diet special care is
necessary to make sure that min
erals and vitamins are adequate. If
plenty Of fruits and vegetables are
taken. and If milk is always included
in the daily diet, food may be ade-
quate excepting for vitamin B1,
which may be supplied by = concen-
trate.

Tapering-Off Programs

The economic problems of the United States will not be solved by rapid changes says the unofficial Committee of Economic Development. That i've shall have a fairly easy period of transition between the defeat of Hitler and the final crushing of Japan," is called nonsense
 The Government and all cautious busi- ness leaders are right now facing the facts, believing that the major shock to national economy will come at the end of the fighting in Europe. There is every reason to believe this is true, as the re- SpOnsibility of furnishing jobs to millions of returning soldiers and sailors cannot be postponed. War production will like ly slow down in munitions, where there is a huge supply for the future. Never theless it would be futile to prophecy to what extent war production might be safely curtailed after the expected victory in Europe.
 Government will taper off, instead of making wholesale conversions of Treas ury-financed war plants to peace-time production. The Department of Justice has issued warning that speedy changes might result in terrific and inequitable impacts" upon national industry as it now functions.
 Government contracting agencies have authorized the expenditure of $15,555,- OOO,OOO in 2598 plants in different parts of the country It does not take a mir acle man or even statistician to under stand what the Justice Department means in calling for orderly liquidation" of the. above contracts.

Second Thoughts

Comment on the KnoX-Stimson rulings, that service officers can legally accept drafts to run for office, are reminiscent of reactions to amateur attempts to be artiS- tic. Ordinarily, after looking over the re- suits first inquisitively and then skeptic- ally, friends remark:
 "It's lovely, but I'm not much up on modern art You'll have to tell me what it means
 Everybody seems to be reading some thing into the rulings. They apply only to officers for example; enlisted men can't run for office, apparently. Officers can respond only to the draft of major parties, presumably the Democratic and the Republican. Naval officers can run for any office, but Army officers only for president or vice-preSident, it appears.
 If an officer should be nominated and elected to the presidency next November, he could resign to take office only with permission of President Roosevelt. But MT. Roosevelt ceases to be President-and mander-in-chief-wit the New Year. The newly elected President, though he be lieutenant-c commander in the Navy or, let's imagine, major in the Army, would thereupon be cOmmander-ln-chlef of all the armed forces.
 But would he have to wait until a lame duck President released him before he could assume his cosmic task, or could he issue an order from the field, as com- mander-in-chief-elect, releasing himself to return to Washington to be inaugur- ated as President and commander-in- chief? One New York county has as dis trict attorney an Army officer who, while on active duty, was nominated by both major political parties and reelected overwhelmingly, to put it conservatively. Presumably he was "drafted" for an off cer rated lower than the vice presidency, without protest from the War Depart ment.
 The whole thing is getting involved, isn't it? Could we dismiss it my aSsum- ing that both Stimson and Knox read the newspapers, know that Senator Van denberg is boosting General MacArthur for the COP. nomination, ignored the subterfuge behind his hypothetical queS- tions, and confined their answers to what he really wanted to know? If that is the case, most of the mysteries disappeared.

Greetings of the Season!

First, may it be blessed, second may it be happy, and third, may it be merry. The first is possible, the other two not in all instances. But the first rests with the individual. The day will be what you make it.
 From pulpitS last Sunday the message of Christmas was given, the story related. This will be repeated Christmas morning. Nothing can be added in newspaper col umns that has not been said in more enlightening phrases in your churches where the word of God is preached.
 Constantly we have been reminded to consider the day as solemn holy day, soft pedaling the spirit of celebration. The custom of gift giving is one of our most splendid ones It fosters a real Christian spirit when not carried to ex- tremeS and when practiced as a second ary consideration.
 In many homes it will be one of the SaddeSt ChriStmaseS in memory. But you will notice that In the home of the deepest sorrow the least is said. Peace on earth is the underlying theme of Christmas, and at this particular time there never were more prayers and hopes for this peace on earth. In accord anoe with the custom of the day we would echo oft-repeated words - A Happy and Blessed Christmas!

Coast-to-Coast, 12 Hours

Fifteen years ago the first coast-to- coast air service required approximately 48 hours, involving two nights on trains and two days on planes numbering along at around 100 miles an hour with no noteworthy comfort.
 Now six air lines predict that, immedi- ately after the war, huge four-motored planes will carry 50 passengers each from ocean to ocean in 12 hours. Nor are they guessing. The planes already are in use, the Douglas DC-4, of which few were building for Pan American and other lines when the war stopped civilian de- liveries They are ready, they are in use, they have demonstrated their capa- city.

MIR. ICKES PROPOSES ANOTHER 3-BILLION PIPE-DREAM
 FOR THE NATION
December g, 1943.

December 22, 1943. Editor of The Democrat:
 MT. Ickes, our Secretary of the Interior, has wonderful idea of a new frontier for Johnny Doughboy to apply his efforts to as soon as he arrives home from the fields of battle. It is a project at the esti- mated cost to the government of three billion dollars to irrigate a vast territory west of the tooth meridian of longitude. Now three billion dollars is quite an item to add to our colossal national debt, that will ultimately have to be re- deemed by taxation. There is no need for such project, if what irrigated land that we already have was put to its proper use. Besides, as soon as there was a prospect of the success of such a project the speculative interest would soon monopolize the whole territory. Wealth could be produced from 1t only on their terms, and under our land tenure system, it would offer no permanent prosperity.
 Here let me quote from a page of Progress and Poverty that was written by 8 man whose economic idea was far above MT. Ickes' as the stars are above some of the alkalized land and that he now proposes to irrigate = "Supposing the sun should suddenly glow with greater power, new virtue fill the air, fresh vigor the soil, that the seed that now increases 50 fold should increase 100 fold, would poverty be abated as want was re- tired? Manifestly, no! Whatever benefit would occur would be but temporary. The new power stream ing through the material universe could only be utilized through land and land being private property the classes that now monopolize all the new bounty. Land owners would

assured of a square deal. The Wagner Act, as administered, has been and is SO one-sided that it will be, after the war, the most powerful force in existence in discouraging ventured capital. That is only another way of saying that it will be the most powerful force in the world exerted to restrict employment Elimin- ate or modify the Wagner Act to give enterprise an equal and fair break and private capital will come out of hiding and put people back to work.
 When the war is over, We want jobs for everyone - that is the only path to prosperity. Let us remove the obstacles to providing these jobs by once more opening the flood gates of private invest ment. We cannot threaten capital into risking its money, it has to be encouraged and given fair chance of success. The Wagner Act constitutes a threat which freezes venture and consequently reduces jobs. It should be repealed.

What Made America Grow

Postwar planning is running along two distinct lines. One group believes that it will be the function of govern ment to provide the jobs and productive ability which will bring prosperity to the country after the war. The other group, realizing that America, grew and became prosperous through the individual enter prise system, believes that private indus try must again take up the responsibility. If we are to become totalitarian state with all enterprises run and controlled by the government, then there will be only one source of jobs and that is the government. On the other hand, if the individual enterprise system is to be maintained, and every poll indicates that the people of this country want it to be maintained, then the only force which put the system in motion = private cap- ital - must be encouraged.
 Capital will not be yentured unless it is

The Coolidge boys, returning from school for the holidays, were too old to go in for Santa Claus and were not allowed to have parties in the White House.
 The Rooseve1ts this year had no trouble getting one Christmas tree from the many the President grows at Hyde Park. And he has with him various grandchildren of all ages.
 The oldest, "Sistie" Dall, now answers to the dignified name of Eleanor an is very beautiful, grown-up young lady of sixteen. When her grandfather first en- tered the White House (what seems a long time ago), she was mischievous youngster of six who, with her brother, aged four, hung her stocking in the most privileged part of the White House, her grandfather bedroom, and came tumbling in to wake him early on Christmas morning.
 At that time, the President had only three grandchildren. Now he has 12. Though some of them are with him at Hyde Park, their fathers are scattered over the many war fronts, from North Africa and Italy to the Pacific. UNJOYFUL YEAR
 Aside from the absence of his four boys, the Presidents Christ mas cannot be particularly joy- full. Not only doeos he face threatened disastrous railroad strike, but also various drives in Congress by special interests to "get theirs" for oil, for labor, for groups, and drive by big busi- ness to put profits back into war"
 This is a trend which he de- nounced severely at his long ses- sion last Sunday with the rail- road men describing it as gov- ernment by blacknail and threat ening to veto any legislation which favored any particular group at the expense of the rest of the nation.
 But even sadder, the President also faces the prospect of send. ing more than half a million young American men across the English Channel on an invasion, which, though absolutely neces- scry, is bound 10 be one of the bloodiest in history, and in which American troops probably will comprise seventy per cent of the invading force.
 So, both ~r'~pna''v and Ea- tionally, despite the Presi- dents usual D-.yan. spir4.s, t cannot be a happy Christmas for him. Perhaps that is why he broke the many years tra- dition of past Presidents, who
 have celebrated Christmas in the White House, Dy going to Hyde Park.
