"Pst!," Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School student whispered to
classmate Whats going on
around here? Why are those kids
getting out of chemistry?'
Haven't you heard?" the other
replied. They're being photo
graphed with Helen for Life maga-
zine"
So it began. BY lunch time it was
all over the school that Miss Helen
Almy, a senior who lives at 6303
Oakridge avenue, Chevy Chase, Md,
was having pictures taken for Life
by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
At the lunch table a large group
Of girls huddled around Helen, the
queen of the moment"
What issue are they going to be
in?"
Say, is it true you might be on
the cover?'
Hey, stop showing"
"I only want to know how she
got picked"
All this time Helen was laughing
and trying to answer hundreds Of
questions.
A Four-Day Experience.
All the answers pieced together
formed a story of Miss Almy's four
day experience of being the central
figure in group of magazine pic
lures representing typical Jango
and her activities
She really deserves it," one of
the girls said later.
Sure" said another, pointing out
that Helen is co-chairman of the
Hospital Unit of Jangos and one of
the original II Jangos assisting the
nurses at Doctors Hospital.
Sure" another chimed in, "but
I bet her looks helped. That but
tered blond hair!"
Helen was selected to pose for
Life from more than $50 Jangos
(Junior Army-Navy Guild Organ
ization) working at Doctors Hos
pital.
Only sisters, wives, daughters and
granddaughters of officers in the
armed services may join any Jango
guild such as the hospital. canteen
nursery, model airplanes or recrea-
tional unit. Miss Almy's father
Dean j. Almy, is a lieutenant colonel
in the Army. Helen decided to join
the Pango hospital unit.
Promises 206 Hours Work.
First came a 13-week course of 10
hours a week to qualify as a Jango
nurses aide. Then there was a
"capping" ceremony and Helen
pledged herself to work the required
206 hours Ito be completed in any
length period.
There are several differences be-
tween a Jango nurses aide and a
Red Cross nurses aide. The Red
Cross sets a minimum age of 1S and
has longer and more detailed
course. The Jango nurses aide can
be 16 and take course teaching her
such things as giving "sitz" baths,
bed baths and making occupied beds.
Helen received the news that she
was to be pictured In Life the night

Postwar American Trode

When this war is ended the United States will pos
sess the largest and newest merchant marine In the
world and must, of necessity, be ready to assume a DOM
inant place in foreign trade.
Great Britain has suffered serious losses in freight and
passenger vessels and by the end of this year will yield
first place in world rank to the u. 5. whose merchant
fleet has been more than tripled in the past two years
by the most amazing building program in history.
Certainly after we build the largest merchant marine
in the world we are not going to be in any mood to scut-
tie it after this war. This is one of the main reasons why
we should be interested in the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act which expires June 18th and which now is I'M
der debate in Congress for renewal.
The reciprocal trade act was passed in an effort to
boost foreign trade which in 1882 had dropped to 30
per cent of the 1929 level. The act stimulated trade by
lowering tariffs whenever it could be shown that it was
to the interest of American producers to do so. In this
act Congress authorized the President to bargain with
other countries to obtain concessions for our goods and
lower any U. s. tariff as much as so percent. 1t directed
him to consult with government departments dealing
with American industry and agriculture and to give in
terested parties a chance to be heard.
The trade agreements program has been very sue
cessful and has been one of the best weapons we have
against the trade barriers of other countries. It makes
it possible to bargain with other countries for conces-
sions for our products instead of merely reducing our
tariffs and hoping for the best.
The action of the present Congress on the trade act
will signify whether or not it is interested in a policy of
cooperation with other nations in a postwar trade pro-
gram.

Candidate For Re- ElectiOn
A
OF PUBLIC
To the People of Mississippi:

To the People of Mississippi:
In announcing for reelection to the
office of Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation, / want to thank the people of
Mississippi for the majority of 1926
votes by which they endorsed our ad-
ministration four years ago. l shall
always be grateful for the confidence
they have placed in me and for their
support during my eight years in office.
We have administered school finances
without favoritism. Every pupil in the
public schools is now furnished with
free textbooks.
Since Parl Harbor, the State Depart
ment of Education has given first con-
sideration to the adjustments of school
programs to the war effort. Our schools
have been adjusted to meet the needs
of the people under war conditions. In
1912 alone, our Vocational Schools
trained more han 5000 persons in
farm machinery repair, and more than
1907 00 pieces Of farm equimpent were
repaired.
My administration includes successful
administration in every type Of public
school in our State. My experience in
office will be of untold value in meet
ing the problems confronting education
during the remainder of the war and in
adjustment to the peace that will follow.
There has never been a time when ex-
erience counted so much as now. This
is no time to experiment.
On my official record and my success
full experience, | earnestly solicit your
support in my reelection.
Respectfully,
j. s. VANDIVER,
State Supt. of Public Education.

National Cotton Week

Next week will be observed as National Cotton Week
and this year emphasis is being placed on the many uses
Of cotton on every front. For cotton is fighting on every
front in this global war.
Statistics disclose more Americans are wearing cot
ton than ever before in the history of our country. This
is partly because war has shut off the supplies of many
fibers from foreign lands and partly because the Ameri-
can woman has been "sold" on cotton for many years
now through the efforts of the cotton industry. There is
no material today more fashionable for wear than cot
ton. Scientists and fashion designers have worked won
ders with the fleecy staple.
The economic ~wel-being and prosperity of Missis-
! sippi is dependent to a very great extent on the revenue
gained from cotton and it's by-products. 1t is definitely
to our interest that cotton gets a square deal for the
duration fhe war and at the peace table. For that we
should be wI4lng and eager to cooperate one hundred
percent with the cotton industry and the National Cotton
Council which has led the fight for cotton for several
years.

u. S. Britain, Russia Must Act
To Keep the Peace Says Eliot

Constitutionally, the British and
American Nations have gone further
along these lines than the Russians.
but it is perfectly possible to find
common meeting ground which
can satisfy every present need, if
there be perfect frankness and good
faith all around.
Looks To Moscow Farley
60 Finally, however, it must be
recognized by all concerned-and
that means by every citizen of every
participating nation-that the estab-
lishment Of workable system for
the maintenance of peace is a duty
which we all owe, not only to our
selves but to our children and our
childrens children, and that we can
do no more than to lay we'll and
truly the foundations upon which
they must build. The Forthcoming
conference at Moscow may well pro-
vide the first stone in those founda-
tons.
That is why it is so vitality i'm
portant that this conference should
be successful in every respect, and
should lead to closer unity of
policy end purpose among the three
great participating powers. In order
that 1t may do so, it seems essential
that Mr.. Hull and his American
associates should be able to speak
Tor our country, not only as repre-
sentatives Of its executive authority,
but with the full backing in matters
OF high principle of the Congress
OF the United States, the representa-
tlves OF the American people
And that is why it now becomes
the duty OF the Senate, as that
branch of the Congress particularly
entrusted with@supervision of foreign
policy. to strengthen the hands of
the American spokesman at Moscow
by appropriate action: by passing
resolution which will place the
Senate on record, not only as de-
string peace. but as willing to en-
dorse and support a practical policy
Tor preserving peace, including-as
any such policy must if it is to be
practical-the timely and vigorous
application Of force against reace
breakers, in cooperation with other
nations Of like interest and deter
mination. The details must be left
to negotiation; what is needed now
Is the endorsement Of the principle
that the peace of the world COM
munity, like that of every other
community in history, can be pre-
served only by the use of force in
the hands OF a law-abiding majority
and that the United States is now
prepared to shoulder its due share
OF the burden and the cost of that
tremendous responsibility.
