sufficiency, the result will be inter-
nal decay. a mounting hostility of
the rest OF the world and a certain
renewal of conflict.
Those who believe these things,
face now the time for action. Un-
less their beliefs are soon trans
lated into realities, the opportunity
to do so may not recur in our time.
The pattern Of the future is al
ready in the making and before
long it will have been irrevocably
set.
Would Promote Thought.
In order to promote thinking and
action along realistic lines, our COM
mission has formulated statement
outlining six areas within which
national interdependence is demon
strated, and where, accordingly, in
ternational collaboration needs to
be organized. We call these the
six Pillars of Peace"
A group of eminent Americans
will discuss them in a series of ar
ticles to appear in this newspaper
during succeeding weeks. We hope
that this will stimulate many 9TH
ers to follow their example. Only
widespread discussion can produce
a clear and dependable mandate to
our Government from its citizens.
Only If that mandate be to seek in
ternational collaboration can we ex-
pect a just and durable peace.

Chairman, Commission to Study the Bases
Of Just and Durable Peace.
AS this war turns from a defen-
sive to an offensive opera ation, as
territory is regained and as peoples
are liberated, the United Nations
are brought face to face with grave
problems that will imperil their
unity. Already we see that threat.
Russia and Poland have broken re-
lations and opposing factions of
French and of Yugoslavs compete
for support from among the Allies.
Developments such as these will
compel the United Nations to make
soon the basic decision of whether
the future is to be one of interna-
tional collaboration If that is not
to be, if as in the past each nation
must depend upon itself alone, then
the United Nations will surely be-
gin to play power politics against
each other. While the form of
unity may temporarily be preserved,
its soul will be extinct. The seeds
of new war will be sown and, in
deed, decisive ending of this war
may long elude us.
Joint Action Required.
OF course, no one nation can de-
termine that the future shall be
one Of collaboration. That requires
joint action. But peculiar respon-
sibility rests upon the American
people, for it was they who. after
the last war, unexpectedly elected
to go it alone" The shock of that
was unforgettable. We cannot ex-
pect others now to take it for grant,
ed that this time it will be differ
ent. That is great uncertainty
which bedevils the present and be-
clouds the future. 1t is an uncer-
tainty which only the American
people can resolve.
Christian citizens should, in this
matter, feel a great responsibility
and see great opportunity They
know that strength and safety do
not come primarily from material
things. but from things of the spirit.
They know that true greatness is
incompatible with narrow selfish
ness and that power, such as that
our Nation possesses, cannot be di-
vorced from broad responsibility.
They know that if we follow what
may seem the easy path Of self

Keep That Fresh,
Cool Appearance
On Hottest Davs

When the temperature scars to
new highs. you can still look fresh
and cool as an ice cube If you'll
remember few simple rules.
One of the important things IS
to wear light. washable clothes that
are easy to keep fresh and clean
Choose plain colors, or those with
very little pattern, and have them
cut in simple styles.
Keep your jewelry to a minimum,
and let it suggest GOODNESS. Wear
cool greens, blues, and white in the
summer and keep scarlet and bright
yellow for cold weather.
Take more baths to keep that
clean. fresh look. See what bath
salts will do to add garden fresh"
fragrance to your cleanliness. But
don't ever think that perfume will
make up for the lack of plenty of
soap and water Use good deodor-
ant when you need one.
Remember your hair collects dust
and dirt more quickly in the hot
weather, so shampoo it oftener And
give it plenty of brushing to keep it
looking its best in between sham
poos. The more simply you dress 1t,
the better it will look with your
light clothes.
Don't let the sun give you an ugly
squint-wear good sun glasses, the
kind that allow your skin to tan
and still protect your eyes.
Always use olive oil, or sun To-
ton, so you will have golden SUM-
tan, not a scarlet sunburn.

"One of the most priced items in
my collection" Donald says, was
used for many years by the late
Isaac Cans, Washington business
man and civic leader"
Donald also has mass OF metal
representing $40 gold pieces with the
heads of great men and women of
the world who have made great dis
coveries.
Two of his weights were especially
cast for him by his uncle, who is
tile manufacturer in California
Another is of Niagara Falls set with
mother-of-pearl, which gives a
natural design of flowing water.
Other paperweights in his collection
are of innumerable descriptions; of
blown glass, animals of all shapes
and many varieties of colors.
In addition to his hobby, Donald
is interested in many other things.
Before graduation he was the busi-
ness manager of the Beacon, Will
sons newspaper; member of the
Quill and Scroll. president of the
Hi-Y and constantly in school
activities. Now he is looking for
ward to induction into the Army.
After the war he hopes to attend

Amusing Gadgets
Can Be Made of
Toy Clothespins
By KATHERINE HOUIsON

Paint a large safety pin with
enamel or nail polish. then paint
three or four toy clothespins in your
school colors. Now cut a tiny hand
kerchief OF silk. wee dress. small
pair of hose, and hang" them on
the safety pin with the toy clothes
pins. A drop of glue will hold them
firmly in place. Pin this to your
sports outfit and you've something
clever for gadget to wear.
Unusual napkins rings for the
whole family can be made with
clothespins-the split ones, not
spring style.
Dip the round top in creamy
enamel, paint black coat half way
down the clothespin, add bright
colored pants, and tip the ends with
black for shoes. Paint features on
The round head and bright -colored
buttons on the coat. Make a braid
of black silk and fasten it to the
top of the clothespin with a thumb
tack and your ring is ready to have
the napkin tucked between the legs.
Each member of the family can
have his or her special color.
The small toy pins. with colored
paper napkins, are good for parties.
Solder small safety pin on the
black so they can be used as lapel
ornaments. They will do for favors,
too. You might put the letters Of
the guests name on the coat instead
of buttons. or their initials, so they
would serve as place cards.

In stamp sales that half hour of

Every Friday in assembly a list

however, so maybe they always

front view in matches. But it Is
frail, so to make it stronger, glue
another line of matches just inside
this outline. Use liberal amount
OF glue on the sides of the matches
to hold them to the first outline.
Do not allow the end joints of the
two rows of matches to be at the
same place.
Double rows of matches are now
put in for studding. allowing spaces
for doors and windows Studdings
should be about inches apart,
just wide enough so that matches
for siding can be glued to them
later. Follow the above procedure
for each side of your house and also
the sides of the roof.
Assemble the various sections by
gluing and tying them together with
string. When the glue has firmly
set, the strings may be removed.
For the siding, see that your
matches are all cut to an even
length, so that they will fit together
snugly. Start at the bottom and
glue one row of matches to the
studdings at time.
If you have gone this far, porches,
steps and various projections will
prove no problem to you. Go into
as much detail as you feel is neces-
sary to make your model attractive.
Your model may be painted to
match your home if desired. How
ever, if this is done. much of your
finest work is covered. Perhaps the
best finish to preserve the wood and

In spite OF gasoline shortages and
travel difficulties, fan trips OF various
sorts are still possible. All that's re-
ouired is little ingeniousness and
determination. Proof of this lies in
the success of three recent trips.
The first was a rail-fan trip. and
was rather experimental in nature.
With railroad travel so heavy as to
preclude use of the large steam roads
in this connection, there is little left
in this vicinity for the raif-fan to
ride. However, our one and only
local "interurban" has recently
added an extra Saturday afternoon
trip which serves very nicely for
those able to be away from their
work for that half day.
The interurban is the Washington
& Old Dominion, which has restored
limited passenger services as far as
Leesburg, Va. This service Is pro-
vided aboard a rather small gas
electric m. T." multiple unit. The
designation of M. U. may be some
what of a misnomer, since the two
cars comprising the train are con-
nected in a semi permanent manner,
and, as far as the w. 6 o. D. Is
concerned, represent a single unit.
But 1t is a convenient name for it.
The experimental fan-trip was
attended by three members Of the
District Electric Railroaders' Asso-
citation (E. r. AZ. Kenneth McFar-
ling, Leonard w. Rice and the
writer.

Besides the present Mexico, 1t con-
tained land now in Texas, New Mex

Utah, Colorado and Wyoming.
Slaves had been freed in Mexico.
but not in the Southern United
States.
Many. of the Americans in Texas
did not like to live under Mexican
rule. A revolt was started, and the
Texans won several battles against
Mexican troops. The revolt was
success, and the Republic of Texas"
was declared.
Landowners in Texas wanted
slaves to work for them. Negroes
were brought from Southern States
and put to work in the fields. Be-
fore long, Texas asked to be let into
the United States. The request was
refused because people in Northern
States did not wish to have another
slave State" in the Union. After
Texas had been a republic for nine
years, however, 1t was allowed to
become State. This was due to a
new vote Of the Congress at Wash
ington.
Texas brought trouble with it,
since there was boundary dispute
with Mexico. The Texans claimed
the land as far south as the Rio
Grande. The Mexicans said their

train must run backward one half of
each round trip. 1t originally came
to Rosslyn front end first" so it
must always run backward on the
outbound trip. The back end Of the
rear car Is equipped for this pur-
pose, with all necessary controls on
what becomes the right-hand side
when so running. These controls
are in what was originally the bag
gage section, but since w. & o. D.
carries no baggage, the remaining
space has been filled with seats to
increase passenger capacity. Two
seats on the left, across from the
operator. are ideally located for rail-
fans, with big windows opening in
all directions.
Passengers are not allowed in the
operating compartment in the real
front end, so the return trip was
made with the fans still occupying
the same seats.
These seats afforded an excel
lent view of the roadbed, rail and
little remaining overhead wire, as
well as the interesting country
through which the line runs. On
this particular trip, meet was
made by train order, with a freight,
part way up the line. cts all single
track The meet occurred at a stub
siding not long enough to hold the
freight, so the passenger train took
the siding, let the freight 60 by, and
then backed out to continue on it's
way. That's railroading with an old
time flavor, and something not ito
be seen on the big Glass l steam
roads running out of Washington.
There is a small freight yard at
Rossyln, another at Bluemont juno
ton (end of the overhead, and
many industrial sidings all along
the way. The reason for the con-
tinuation Of the w. & o. D. as a
freight road is easily apparent
Freight and its handling are usually
the features of most interest to rail
fans. and there is good chance to
observe them at leisure along the
w. & o. D. Also, this road does not

it lacks the snorting, straining,
steam locos so dear to the heart of
the railroad photographer, it can
be photographed, and that's the
important thing at present. Mr..
Rice has some very nice pictures
taken along this line.
This trial fan-trip was declared
highly successful. and has brought
about considerable discussion of the
possibilities of more of the same
One suggestion for the next trip on
the w. & o. D. is that it only run

the middle of the trip, and there

that point, anyway.
Something about the other two

you care to invest.

country reached as far north as
the Nueces River.
Into the land in dispute, an
American Army was sent. The
Mexicans considered the Americans
invaders and fired. Thus opened the
Mexican War in 1846. Mexico was
badly defeated and made peace two
years later. The United States took
from Mexico 100000 square miles of
land, besides that which was in dis
pute.
While taking this land from
Mexico, Congress voted to pay S15,-
100000. At later date. $10,000,000
more was paid Mexico for land only
one-twentieth the size. The payment
averaged about 10 cents an acre.
In 1849 news reached the Eastern
States that gold had been discovered
in California, part of the great
stretch of country which had been
taken from Mexico. The thought
Of growing rich led thousands of
men to start West. These men were
called Forty Miners" because of
the year in which they swarmed
toward California.
The trip was a hard one. There
were two main routes to the Rocky
Mountain region-the Santa Fe
was more popular during the gold
Trail. running from the Missouri
River to the town of Santa F'e. and
the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail
rush. Beyond the Rockies, it
branched into what was known as
the California Trail.
The gold fields were near Sacra-
mento and some miners struck it
rich" A large number found little
or no gold and their disappoint-
ment was great. Yet even some of
those who found no gold were later
glad they had made the trip. Cali
fornia was land of sunshine; it
contained valleys with rich soil and
there was plenty of room for homes.
Because of the gold rush, the popu-
lation of California grew swiftly and
in 1850 1t was admitted to the Union
as a State.

The daffodils were blooming
Upon a sunny day:
The weather changed to snow and
sleet
And buried them away.
The flowers all were very blue,
They knew that they would die
Unless their tiny faces
Were lifted to the sky.
They pondered and they worried,
But all to no avail
The weather still remained the same,
The daffodils looked pale.
They lifted up their voices
And to the sun they said,
Unless you melt away the snow
We shall soon be dead"
And so, with all its shining rays,
The sun attacked their foe,
And soon before they knew it
1t melted all the snow.
