NO RUSSIAN HURRAHS

NO RUSSIAN HURRAHS
American observers in Russia re-
port that the public is not throwing
it's red cap in the air over current
military successes. The reaction is
not much different, in fact, from the
reaction to losses.
1.-THE mood of the Russian peo-
ple," says one report, hasn't
changed much since last summer
when they were being driven back
to the Volga. Nor has it changed
much from the years Of peace"
It is explained that Russians have
become accustomed to tumult and
personal danger. For as years they
have lived in an atmosphere of revo-
luton, purges, and starvation. War
has brought no sudden shock to them
as to us. 44-4 -
Even in the face Of the terrific
losses Russia has suffered in this
war, the losses forced upon Russia
by. her own government ten years
ago remain almost unsurpassed.
When the Soviet government was
imposing on the people, the unwel-
come system of collective farming,
farmers were denied seed for plant
ing, and a vast number Of people,
estimated between two and five mil
lion, starved to death.
The Russians are stolid, taking de-
feat or victory in their stride.
SPANISH DAGGER AT U. S. BACK
Here is the lowdown on the visit
of Francois special representative,
ex-Spanish Foreign Minister Beigbe-
der, to this country.
Frances regular representative,
Ambassador Juan Cardenas, has
been sending him what he wanted to
hear, rather than the truth about
the way the American people have
put their hearts into the war;, Car
denas has emphasized the clash Of
personalities and inefficiency Of war
production which get into the head
lines. but is not the general rule.
When u. S. officials learned Of
this, they conceived the idea OF
bringing q special Franco envoy to
the u S. A. to get the real picture.
Actually it was the war department,
not the. state department, which
Matched the inspiration and which is
taking him on q tour Of war plants
and army. posts to- drink in the real
spirit of the war effort.
Note: Many lhigh-up officials here
believe Franco is an opportunist

is going in the spring, He could,
If he, wished, plunge dagger into

ENDING ABSENTEEISM

Undersecretary of War Patter.
sons labor advisers have one-point
program for ending absenteeism In
war plants. Here is the one point:
Communities should adjust them.
selves to the hours of the factories.
Stores, banks, doctors, lawyers, plus
other services should be available
not merely for one shift Of workers
but for all shifts. ~
At present workers on the swing
shift, beginning at midnight, find
themselves out Of gear with the life
of the community. The greatest abb
senteeism is among workers on the
odd shifts, and can be attributed not
to indifference to winning the war
but to the inconvenience Of trying
to live and buy food and get Johnny
to the doctor, while the swing shift
turns night into day,
Absenteeism is higher among
women than men, which may mean
nothing more than trouble with the
ration board. A woman will take
a day off from the factory because
she has to register for canned foods,
or because a child Is sick in the
family, or because she hasn't had
time to buy new dress at the store.
Remedy for this is nothing less
than two or three shifts on the part
of the services that serve the work
ers. The ration board, it is suggest
ed, should come to the factory.
In many cases, war department
advisers say, absenteeism is caused
not by loafing but by overwork. In
certain machine-tool areas, such as
New England, men have been work
ing so and So hours a week for
years. They are simply exhausted.
Incidentally, this factor is the
principal cause Of absenteeism in
Germany, where workers are worn
down by unremitting labor and long
hours.
Note: There is little sympathy in
Undersecretary Patterson's office for
the Rickenbacker crusade against
labor. It is regarded as useless and
unsound to try to appeal to workers
over their leaders.

Better Health

OBESITY is considered to be
" an accumulation of fat
evenly distributed over the body.
This is purely theoretical
definition because in nearly any
obesity there is a tendency for
fat TO accumulate in certain
places.
"Middleaged spread refers 10
a distribution of fat which is
concentrated between the collar
bones and the knee and this is
the ordinary form OF obesity.
There are, however, rather
special cases of accumulations of
fat.
One is the fat pad on the neck
which forms sort OF horse col
lar and may leave the rest of
the body fairly thin.
Another is a form which oc-
ours mostly in women in which
the body from the waist down is
extremely heavy with many fat
pads and the upper part Of the
body is almost emaciated.
A REGULARITY of some fat
IA accumulations is that they
are very painful.
This is the disease called adj
posus dolorosa. which is an ac-
emulation of fat pads on the
under part OF the arms and is so
named because IT means a fat
accumulation that is painful.
Il occurs in women at about
the time of the change of life
and the pain turns the patient
into a nervous invalid.
II is extremely resistant TO
treatment.
The commonest form of local
lied accumulation of fat is what
is called lipoma. which means a
tumor of the fat tissue.
These are very common and
can be found as little balls Of fat
about the size OF half a lemon,
or larger.
They seem TO have no relation
TO the general nutrition Of the
body at all.
People with these fat pads
may become completely ENACT
atcd from a fever or other syS-
temic disease and yet the fat in
these accumulations does not 60
down at all.
STILL another condition is
~ called symmetrical multiple
encapsulated fat pads.
In this condition there will be
numerous small nodules Of fat
which can be felt under the skin.
They are called symmetrical
because. for instance. there will
