The second war loan drive opened last
night. The Secretary Of the Treasury,
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., called on the
American men and women at home to
spend their dollars to look after the men
in the armed forces who are sacrificing
their lives in many instances. The total
to be subscribed runs to big figures and
it is expected and hoped that the
donations which will come from all
quarters will soon submerge that
$4,000, 00O, 900, the quota set. AS time
goes on many are finding 1t easier to part
with their money. They have ccme to
grips, or someone belonging to practical
ly every American family, has come to
grips with active warfare. It comes home
to one and all in personal losses of fam
lily members, relatives and friends. All
want the present debacle to end to the
tune of their donations to the thirteen
billion dollar quota.

Lost Sleep
Is there any vitamin capsule or
special food one can take to make
up for lost sleep? That Is, to keep
from falling asleep when working
nights? Oh. ma
Answer-Not even more sleep can
make up for lost sleep. Coffee tends
to keep a sleepy person awake.
Sometimes the active principle OF
coffee, caffeine. is taken In capsule
or powder or solution, to keep one
awake. This may be Justifiable In
an emergency, never as a regular
habit.

Garden activities are holding the at
tention in our own community as in all
others. We have a capable office Off
ciating and giving out information on
what to do and what not to do. Public
meetings are held and words to the wise
given out. 1t is Just as much of a mis-
take to make a garden as not to make one
in some instances. The best advice Of
fered is to consult the garden authorities,
present your problems and find out if it
is advisable for you to concentrate your
efforts on victory garden.

GARDENERS MUST HAVE GAS
Hartford Tines

The concern expressed by Mrs.
Eleanor B. Kennedy, chairman OF
the Hartford Rationing Board, that
failure to supply gardeners with
necessary gasoline will hamper food
production Is well founded.
The food emergency is real and
not imaginary. II surely Is impera-
tive that home and community pro-
duction and preservation be carried
on intensively. That there Is pub
lie recognition of this Is easily seen
from the great numbers of persons
In every community who have an
nounced their purpose TO cultivate
gardens and raise their own food
as far as possible.
Very many such persons have no
land available. For them plots
must be provided. In many cases
these will be at some distance from
their homes and the use Of auto
mobiles is necessary, not only to
transport the gardeners but to carry
their tools, and late In the season,
to bring home their harvests.
It has been said informally that
gas would be made available. II
Is important that 1t should be. There
should be no doubt about 1t Ia the
public mind.
The government Is urging the
cultivation OF gardens. II can
hardly afford at the same time TO
discourage the effort by telling the
people that no way viii be provided
for them to get TO their plots.
II Is the understanding OF The
Times that gas will be NADINE avail
able. not on q free and easy basis
but wherever the need rs clearly
shown and when that need actually
arises.
The planting season is practically
at hand. There Is immediate neec
for a definite staetment whlcn WI
clarity the situation.

sion.
Maybe o. not-too- thorough Job
ehas been done IN spelling out the
details Of where the money Is COM
Ing from, but the fact Is that the
money Is there and II is entirely
feasible and also imperative for
everyone 10 buy extra bonds IN the
Second War Loan drivc--in addi-
ton 10 the 10 per cent OF payroll
already subscribed for continuing
wra bond purchases,
"THE MONEY Is THERE"
These 10 per cent deductions are
now yielding about $500 million n
month, or so billion year. II you
figure that there are so million
workers In the United States, that
averages down 10 only $40 per
month or $3.50 per year per worker,
which not only isn't much, but also
isn't enough.
The main argument OF the national
income economic experts Is that the
money is there TO buy more bonds
because, while national income Is
ut SIPS billion year, there are only
$50 billion worth Of goods and serV-
Ices 10 be purchased. leaving some
$45 billion excess purchasing power
TO be absorbed as payments on debts,
taxes, war bonds and the like, II
imitation Is TO be avoided.
Because that money Is there, be-
cause previous bond drives have
gone over better than had been
anticipated, the easy assumption
has been that all other war bond
drives would be over-over- subscrib-
ed, 80 never mind worrying about
the success Of this Second War
Loan campaign, The drive OF last
December, for instance, was sup
posed to raise only so billion, but
1t actually raised $l3 billion,
SIS BILLION WON'T GO FAR
This Second War Loan drive is
Intended TO raise $l3 billion, and
there Is every reason TO believe that
II, too, should be handsomely over
subscribed.
As TO the need OF extra war bond
subscriptions, the Second War Loan
$i3 billion goal won't cover the costs
Of the war for much more than two
months, ut the current rate OF
spending. The Second War Loan
isn't intended TO cover original costs
its for the upkeep, Second War
Loan bonds are attack bonds. It
was suggested that one slogan for
this Second War Loan campaign
should be, Second War Loan-for
a Second Front" but for some my
sterious reason Of high strategy, 1t
was considered that this catchline
would be unwise, psychologically.
Anyway, that's the basic idea.
And as you walk up to the counter
to sign up for those extra bond
purchases In the Second War Loan
campaign to run during the remain
ing days Of April, you can at least
sell yourself on the idea that It's
your small contribution towards
speeding the creation Of a Second
Front.

EMOTION AND PEPTTC ULCER
There is stu considerable differ
ence Of opinion among physicians
In respect to the cause or causes
OF peptic ulcer, but most medical
authorities now recognize that emos
tional or temperamental factors
have q profound influence IN many
cases.
Characteristic history Of sufferere
Is their relative freedom from pain
and ability to eat anything when on
a holiday; return Of distress when
ever they meet with an emotional
conflict or mental strain or perhaps
some business or domestic crisis.
Patients with peptic ulcer are
generally Of uniform psyche or dis
position-highly irritable, sensitive.
self -obsorbed, mentally in-elastic.
Often they say they swallow their
anger" and in fact they are likely
to feel a lump in their stomach"
when under emotional stress. Some
physicians interpret these symptoms
as pyloroSpaSm or tendency
thereto, perhaps ante-dating clinical
ulcer by several years.
Many authorities emphasize the
role Of tobacco In the causation Of
peptic ulcer. Especially in the
young. and in the type Of person
who Is by heredity or environment
candidate for hyperacidity and
ulcer, automatically unstable, excit-
able, energetic. The adverh auto
nomically refers to the subcon-
scious, involuntary part Of the
nervous system that controls body
functions. It is always bad hygiene
for children to indulge in tobacco
anyway--and In this sense that
means before the average person
has attained full adult development
from the age of 81 to rs years.
Smoking on an empty stomach or
before n meal Is finished is especial
ly harmful. InI some cases the
smoker suffers all Of the character
istic symptoms Of peptic ulcer, yet
for n period OF years, perhaps, X
ray fails TO give positive evidence OF
ulcer. Tobacco Is not only a com
mon factor In the cause Of ulcer
but 1t Is O major influence In bring.
ing recurrence when ulcer has
healed under treatment.
Observation Of a patient who had
q gastric fistula Gan opening into
the stomach from the outside) by
Drs. Wolf and Wolff (Jour. ANA.
Oct. 81, 42) showed that when
person has an emotional conflict in
volving anxiety. hostility or resent
ment acidity In the stomach in
creases. mobility increases. and en-.
gorgement or congestion Of the
stomach lining occurs. and these
manifestations are associated with
complaints of heartburn and abb
dominal pain.

When the press censorship code

BRITISH JAIL NEWSMAN
Reason New York Times cores
pendent Frank Kluckhohn was
jailed for ten days In North Africa
by the British Army was that he
impugned the motives Of British
military leaders.
He tried TO send q service mes
sage 10 his paper In New York
not for publication but for the
editors information 10 this eff
feet:
The British are using ether
troops % d. the dirty work In
North Africa, no they can march
up the coast 10 victory.
It Is suspected here that
Kluckhohn heard this tale of .criti-
cism from some disgruntled French
or American soldiers, and sent
1t on for the information OF his
editors In New York.
But the censor caught 1t, and
referred 1t TO Gen. Montgomery,
who Is rigid disclplinarian. In
censed and Infatuated at the
"utter falsity" OF the story, he Is
reported TO have said: "They call
me . martinez; well, by G0d, this
time III behave like one"
So he threw Kluckhohn In the
clink for ten days.
NOTE; When Montgomery COM
manded the Third Division In
France, before the fall, he called
1t the Iron Division, and tool
great pride In the ability Of his
men to do all the dirty work OF
