Every little town has an elaborate

there is some one selling rosaries.

The SHORT END OF GLORY

Although the Italians in Tuni-
STA do not seem very sad at be-
ing captured by United Nations
forces, and although they are be-
ing captured j n much greater
number than the Germans. this
fact is not necessarily a reflsc-
ton on their bravery. We should
remember that there are many
Italians who have long doubted
the wisdom and the patriotism Of
II Duce's policies. They are not
sure they are fighting for Italy
when they fight for Fascism;
still less sure when they fight for
Naziism.
But leaving the question o +
sentiments. there is another rea.
son why Italians are being round
ded up in disproportionate num-
bers as the United Nations forces
chase the Axis to a last stand ip
Tunisia. Evidently it has been Q
practice of General Rommel to as
sign rear-guard fighting to the
Italians. While he pulled h i 8
Naai soldiers out of trap after
trap. he left the Italians to cover
these retreats. The Germans

Where Will Money
Come From?

People ask: "Where will the
money come FROM" to reach
the thirtecn-billion dollar OBJ
jcctive of the Second War
Loan. The answer is simple.
The people HAVE the income.
When VIC produce munitions
or peacetime goods, or any
thing else, we likewise produce
income. For every dollar Of
production, there is a dollar Of
income.
The problem of war finance
boils down to this-if individI-
ais and businesses receive more
income after taxes than there
are things produced for them
to buy, then excess funds arise.
The government deficit is
matched by the combined sur
plus of everybody else. This
surplus should be put into Gov
ernmen: securities to wipe out
that deficit.

Put Feeling
Into Your Voice

MAKE IT a practice to put
feeling and resonance in your
voice. Avoid over-emphssis,
which wesries the ears of the
listener.
Speak with expression. but
don't be the dramatic; remember
that poise Is a valuable element
OF charm.
Enunciate clearly. A sloppy
talker is a trial. One is always
asking her 10 repeat her re-
marks. Words go tumbling after
each other, and often run to-
gether.
Few voices are unpleasant.
Some fail 20 qualify because
they are not used properly. Too
much volume Is a common fault.
The monotone is another.
When you meet a friend, or
when a guest comes TO your
house, put warmth and feeling
into your greeting. The voice is
incest when nice things are said.
Moderate your tones when
speaking over the telephone.
Sing in your spare moments;
singing helps the speaking voice
to become musical.

UNFORTUNATELY in the city we can't
~ be too choosy about soil when we
select our place TO live, so usually We have
TO make the best of what We have. And
even that is not too easy during these days
when manure is almost out of the question
and there are no trucks TO haul topsoil.
You may be able TO improve your soil
somewhat with what you have on hand or
can get.
Heavy clay soil can best be lightened
by adding manure-again if you can get
il. Peat of good quality is also beneficial.
Mixing sand with clay also helps, but you
probably won't be able 10 get it hauled,
and it isn't as good as either manure or
peat, since it adds no organic matter or
plant food. Coal ashes are sometimes used
and they will lighter a soil-temporarily--
although they will become sticky in time.
Spade under old leaves. grass clippings,
old plants and even garbage. Just be
careful not TO spade in diseased plants
which might re-infest your soil or plants.
Burn any plants. or bulbs that you suspect
of being diseased. The entomologists tell
us that we really should spade all plant
refuse down 10 inches TO reduce the posi-
bility Of insects living over in 1t.
The odd thing about soil treatment is
that the same thing that helps to tighten
clay soil also improves sandy soil. The
same manure, leaf mold, peat or other
forms of humus that you use to tighten
clay also adds body to sandy soils, helps
them to retain moisture and plant food.
In most of our garden soils, humus is one
of the limiting factors TO good production
and these things that we have just men
toned are humus.
