Mrs. Ffonlke Dewey
Efficient Yorker
As Nurses Aide
Bv Beth Blaine.

BY Beth Blaine.
Mrs. Ffoulke Dewey is too mat
ter of fact to like being called
a dark and sultry beauty with a
camellia skin, although society
columnists never tired Of describ-
ing her as such before the war"
Now she looks, and what's
more important. efficient and
brisk In her nurses aid uniform.
She serves both at Garfield Hos
pital and at the Blood Donor
Center.
After she sold her large Massa-
chusetts avenue home which was
the home of her grandmother,
the late Mrs. Charles Ffoulke,
she moved to a smaller house
which she bought in Georgetown
and got settled in surprisingly
short time, and still didn't let 1t
interfere with her war work.
She is a real Washingtonian,
three generations of her family
having lived here. AS a young
girl she made her debut in the
Capital. In bouffant tea gowns
she danced at the gala parties
which her grandmother gave in
the tapestry-hung ballroom Of
her stately home. Later as a
young matron she entertained
graciously in the same rooms
redecorated to suit her more
modern taste.
She has spent a great part Of
her life in France and speaks the
language like a native. She is
well read and has that very well
known attribute of intelligence
an inquiring mind. She could
easily be fashion model, for she
wears her simple wen-cut clothes
with distinction and ease. AL
though she is completely at
home in a drawing room, she is
equally so on the beach, for
she's a very fine swimmer. She
has little vanity when 1t comes
to comfort and covers her smooth
skin with oil to protect 1t from
the suns rays when at the sea-
shore.

commissioner, to make further study
of peat. Mr.. Hulstrand stated that an
attempt will be made to secure some
rehabilitation money in order to
make a thorough study of this prob
lem, and work out some plan that
will bring this vast natural resource
into use. Mr.. Hulstrand feels that
there are possibilities for its use as
fuel, and also that it can be used
to good advantage as fertilizer This
latter would be in connection with
the sludge that comes from the sew
age disposal plants.
The rehabilitation of this section
of the state is a major problem, and
there is possibility that the devel-
opment of the vast peat resources
of this section may prove a big fac
tor in the program. It is worth Civ
ing thorough study, at least, as it
will set at rest the conflicting opin-
ion on the value of peat.

WILL GO TOWARD
(New Prague Times }

1t is interesting to read and hear
speculations upon the progress of
everyday affairs after the war. One
writer figures that habits of enforced
thrift acquired now will continue
after the war, while another dia-
metrically opposite predicts spend
ing spree once civilian goods in
unlimited quantities again appear on
the markets. Most prognosticators
predict an enormous expansion of
air travel. Some say that the service
men will not be content to return to
their old jobs and surroundings while
others, men in service included, say
that most of our boys are anxious to
get back home as quickly as pos
sible and start in again right where
they left off. There will be changes
after the war,-vast changes, no
doubt. What they will be, it is
impossible to foretell now. But one
thing can be definitely counted on
and that is that the energy, initiative,
common sense and good sportsman
ship of the American people will
meet and surmount the problems of
that day and that America will
continue its irresistible march toward.

A JIHAD in 1914

In place of direct reply, the Mime
apolis tribune in an editorial lets go
this puzzling barrage:
"The ordinarily urbane and any
thing but bellicose Mr.. Wallace has
called for a jihad against the myr-
midons of Mammon and is almost
visibly quivering with anticipatory
thrills of combat"
In ordinary language this means
that the usually calm vice president
has called for holy war - like the
Mohammedans fought unbelievers,
SYNONYMOUS of the Christian cru
sade - against the brutal or unprin-
cipled followers of the god of riches,
and Mr.. Wallace is already greatly
excited over the battle to come.
The whole picture sums up like
this:
When a conservative sets up pro-
gram he is guided always by the
loftiest ideals and the finest Christian
ideaology."
When a liberal speaks up it is "a
jihad against the myrmidons of Man,
mon."

ties that lend themselves directly as
essential in the war effort.
The staff of teachers for the COM
ing year will include the following
teachers: W. A. Ehmke, principal and

stad, who taught last year at Barret,
Miss Elaine Olson, who taught last
year at Evansville and Mrs. G.. G..
Aakhus of Willow River.
Bus routes and drivers will be the
same as last year, unless it appears
that some changes will serve the area
and district better. The addition of
several grade schools may bring
about some changes.

FREE ENTERPRISE" PROFITS
(The Minnesota Union Advocate)

For a long time young Erik john
ston, president of the u. S. Cham
Der of Commerce, was content to 90
about the country to praise industry
for its great part in the war and to
extoll the glories of free enterprise.
He won considerable acclaim from
labor for his apparent generosity to-
ward the trade union movement, and
clever press agent made it appear
that at last the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce had liberal at its helm.
But 'free enterprise" has been
getting some terrific pommelings
from the Truman Senate Committee
investigating defense industries. This
group has been exposing industry's
frauds on the government and on the
United Nations. The committee has
revealed that while some corporations
were garnering in profits beyond the
widest dreams of glutton, they
were also resorting to some of the
lowest forms of trickery to increase
their profits.

transportation Facilities
Are Plentiful

Since the turn or the century
great changes and advancementS have
taken place in the field of transport
alton. There are the trucks making
store deliveries, the pipe lines, and
now the airplanes making mail and
express deliveries with eventual
transportation of heavy goods. Rail-
road freight cars are larger and the
locomotives more powerful.
The transportation association of
America with headquarters in Chi
cago reports that ''There is vast
over-supply of basic facilities for
transportation-rail, highway, air and
water. For the country as whole
this is true even in time of war. In
the foreseeable future there will not
be enough peace-time traffic to go
around and assure security for pri-
vate investment for even a majority
of these thousands of separately in
corporated agencies
In the United States there are to-
day 1902 railroads, of which 1856
Class 1 railroads operate 231 ,012 miles
of track or 97To of the total mileage.
There are 230,686 miles of federal
aid highways over which 26, ,169 inter-
city trucking companies operate.
There are 1892 miles of inland
waterways, including rivers and the
Great Lakes, over which 1O,252
vessels are in operations.
Over $4,000 lighted operating miles,
81 domestic airlines are served by
2,741 airports in the United States.
The railroad mileage alone in the
United States would take you around
the world 10 times. The federal aid
highway mileage likewise is nearly
enough to take you around the world
10 times.
There is much private transporta-
ton over highways, waterways and
air routes. Any individual or shipper
may own trucks, boats or planes.
If he observes safety regulations and
pays his prescribed license fees, he
may transport people and property
without restriction so long as he does
not charge for the service rendered.
In the past 20 years vast tonnages
of the nations commerce have been
transported by such facilities owned
and operated by the shipper.
The transportation Association re-
ports that "prior to 1920 the rail-
roads of the country handled nearly
900 of the traffic exclusive of pri-
vate transportation. But during the
past 20 years we have witnessed the
development of new forms of trans
portation and material expansion
in water-borne traffic, inter-coastal
and coastwise. Now, railroad traffic
has declined to about 62% of the
total-the balance being divided
among the other forms of trans
portation."
What will be the answer to the
transportation problem so that the
consumer will not have to pay for
duplicate service?

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page IL
Far East Possibilities.

There exists between Soviet Russia
and Japan a non-aggression treaty
which, so far, has been scrupulously
respected by both parties. But the
story goes that Germany, now facing
disaster at the hands of the Russians,
is trying to persuade Japan to de-
clare war on the Soviet republics.
But while such a war would, to
be sure, split Russia into two
fronts, and thus ease the pressure
on the Nazi troops, it would also
divide Japanese war efforts with
added weakness as an inevitable
result.
So far, there is no indication that
Japan will violate the treaty for the
chief purpose of accommodating the
Nazis.
Russian Triumphs
In the meantime, Russia, not say
ing very much, goes on fighting the
Nazi invaders, achieving always new
triumphs. 1t was reported about ten
days ago that the Soviet soldiers had
entered the city of Kharkov; it was
not said then that they had actually
taken it, but this week the announce
ment came that they have forced the
enemy to abandon ''the Pittsburgh of
the Ukraine; the Russians, thus, have
won one of their great victories. At
the same time they are closing in or
Bryansk, demonstrating the increase
of their own strength, the continuous
decrease of that of the enemy.
But Russia, feeling that she is
fighting Europe's land war all
alone, still insists that "SecOnd
Front" must be opened - and
quite soon, too!
Moscow does not seem to feel that
the invasion plans now under consid-
Grafton constitute what the Russians
call Second Front"
Less Afraid.
AS NaZi strength is waning, the
small German-occupied countries of
Europe become less afraid of it than
they have been until recently. More
openly than ever they defy Berlin, and
this is especially true of Denmark and
Norway where a few days ago it was
shown that the population dares have
will of it's own. There is distinct
feeling that the Nazis fear the quiet
resistance offered by oppressed peo-
Piles more than actual military war
fare - and they have every reason in
the world to dread what is coming to
them, once the accumulated hatred and
revenge find expression.

DICTATORSHIPS CANNOT LAST
(By Oscar Garrison Willard
in The Progressively

IN Inc fTOSTeSSlVe)
The Italians hate the Germans, and
bad as the terms of peace may be,
they cannot be blamed for desiring
peace of which they have not had
really a moment since they allowed
Mussolini to take over the govern
ment.
Not since the beginning of the war
has there been such cause for re-
joicing as has been given us by the
Mussolini debacle. 1t is to be hoped
that from now on we shall never hear
another word about the superior ad-
vantages of relationships, how much
more efficient they are than the in
efficient democracies, etc., etc.
Let us hope we shall never hear
again of American bankers making
loans to relationships, as they did to
Mussolini. The lesson is as old as the
hills, as old as history; relationships
founded on brute force cannot and
never do last. Whatever the weak
nesses of democratic systems, they
are infinitely superior and more last
ing and stable than any dictatorship
ever conceived.
It must soon be clear to the Ger
mans that their fight is utterly hope
less and that they have nothing to
gain by the continuance of their die
tatorship except blood, sweat and toll,
unending sacrifices, increasingly bit
ter humiliation and overwhelming
defeat
