Why do we grow old? Degeneration describes
what happens but it does not explain causes so long
as this mystery remains so long will men seek the
Fountain of Youth either outside the body, as they
once did or inside as modern biologists do. Not
until the function of the ducess endocrine glands
was discovered was there any hope that old might
be STAYED off Among those who made his con-
trbution to our knowledge of their function was Dr.
Eugen Stomach, who died recently, an exile from ms
native Austria. Despite the temporary beneficial
results that he obtained with his operation OF vasec-
tony physicians took him too seriously.
When endocrinology develops into more exact
discipline historians of medicine will probably treat
him more kindly. After all, he belongs to a period
when the endocrine glands were still mystery and
when it took little courage to face wittcisms OF
the type to which restless FrancoIrsh American
experimenter in the same field, Charles Edward
Brown Sequard was subjected in an earlier day. The
trouble with Seach that his operation was based
on a hypothesis which proved to be wrong and which
he declined to change The procession had passed
him by.
To Steinachs credit it must be said that he spoke
not of reuvenation' but of reactivation. Yet even
this more cautious term hardly fitted the case We

is entirely probable under those circumstances that
at least a part Of the cost can be paid out OF a
national income which stands to be lifted in a
sense, by its own boot straps
This, of course, is only one OF many advantages
which better educational standards will bring There
are cultural gains which also will result and these
are of nestimable value to the national welfare 1t
is interesting too reflect that even these cultural
advantages will have their economic side, bringing
with them increased sales in books in music, in art

In all, then, the educational features OF the new

Allies would be successful in es-
tablishing a strong beachhead in
France. But, he still had conf
dence in the ability of his men
to prevent a major Allied drive
through France into Germany. For
the second time he went to Hitler
and described the situation on the
French front. This was just when
the Red Army was beginning its
tremendous drive.
Won Rundstedt warned that the
war was lost for Germany and
suggested quick peace before the
rest of the German Army was
brought to its knees.
Hitler replied that he was de-
termined to fight to the end. Won
Rundstedt, however, stuck to his
position that, if the Russian break
through was successful, Germany
was licked and should quit at once.
He said he would vote for a sur
render.
The Russian break-through fol-
lowed three days later, and Hitler,
afraid Won Rundstedt might permit
an Allied break through in France
behind Hitler's back, immeditely
relieved him of his command and
ordered him away from the front.

has done everything possible to
promote genuine Nazi generals, such
as Marshal Erwin Ronlmel, to key
posts. However, the Junker gen.
erals were too we'll trained, were
such excellent soldiers that they
continued to retain important COM
mands.
Conflict between the two army
factions, simmering for years, is
now at its peak.
Reports from neighboring Euro
pean countries are that Hitler has
never trusted Won Runstedt. He
has been an obedient servant of the
Nazis, had carried out orders. But
before the invasion, he had a sig
nificant conference with Hitler
Here is what happened at that
conference.
Won Rundstedt told Hitler he
thought the German Army would
succeed in smashing the Anglo
American invaders back into the
sea. But he was more concerned
about the ability Of the Nazis to
prevent a Red Army break Through
on the Eastern front.
Shortly after the invasion began

EDUCATION FOR SOLDIERS

The most costly section of the "GI Bill OF Rights,
recently signed by President Roosevelt is that which
grants to- veterans of World War II educational bene-
fits for tuition up $500 annually plus allowances
of from $50 to SIS monthly for maintenance. Some

during the next decade. to carry through this vast
program it would be difficult to estimate The total
will be tremendous But we feel the investment will
be good one provided advantages thus offered are
fully utilized by the veterans themselves.
The United States Chamber of Commerce in
recent study, brought out the great economic ad-
vantages which education brings to a community.

OLD FIGHT AGAINST
MACHINES

What they objected to was that
the convention should be run by
the city machines of Chicago, the
Bronx, Jersey City and st. Louis,
which threw their weight in favor
of a man who owed his political
start to the city machine of Kan
sas City 1t looked to a lot OF
delegates as if the big-city bosses
were playing with their old friend,
Kansas City's Tom Pendergast, now
out of Jail after serving his time.
All of this made some delegates
who didn't like Henry Wallace
climb on his bandwagon.
The fight between Southerl rural
Democrats and the Northern Demo-
cratic machines of New York, Chi
cago, Boston and other big cities,
is old and -deep-rooted. Woodrow
Wilson suffered from it somewhat
when he was nominated in 1912
through the support of Tammany
and the Roger Sullivan machine in
Chicago. Again in 1924. it split
the party wide open when North
ern city Democrats demanded Al
Smith, while Southern rural Demo-
Gratis demanded William G. McAdoo.
And it was famed into flame
again at this convention.
Remarked one Democrat who has
battled for Roosevelt during twelve
long years: Roosevelt has been
debating to the party for SO long
that you boys don't know what to
do without being dictated to. He
turns the convention loose-and
what is the first thing you do?
You run to the telephone and ask
him to do some more debating"
What many delegat tie
wondered was what prosecutor can
didate Tom Dewey will do with a
Democratic ticket on which the
Vice President is product OF
Pendergast, picked by Pendergast's
old cronies. Senator Truman is q
man of scrupulous honesty, with a
great reputation for cleaning III
war inefficiency. But nevertheless
many argue that a city-boss pro-
duct, picked by city BOSSES viii
just be playing right into the
hands of Dewey.

HOROSCOPE

TUESDAY, JULY -25

Late today benefic aspects rule
strongly but the earlier hours are
also promising. Good luck for per-
sons who carry heavy responsible
ties is indicated. -a.iA.
HEART AND HOME: AS the
new social order draws near, old
faults and human vices are accent
ed. According to astrology, there
will be serious problems connected
with the increase in the number of
|illegitimate children.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Inevit-
able decrease in wages and salaries
after the war will cause perplexi-
ties among employers. According to
astrology, the shrinkage will be less
than economists now consider to
be unavoidable. Aquarium influ-
ences assure for the people ade-
ouate returns for work.
NATIONAL ISSUS: Health haz-
ards will be studied with renewed
concern as summer maladies multi
ply. Science will prevent epidemics
but novel forms of disease will
appear among the importations of
wartime.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
The seers have forecast as notable
dates of the war, July 90 and Aug
ust 5. News of great significance
regarding the Nazis may be expect
ed July 80. The tempo of conflict
will be increased to a new high by
the end of this month when the
cost of our victory will be great.

Some Allied observers believe
that Won Rundstedt has been kill
ed on Hitler's personal orders be-
cause of his defeatist attitude. Fact
is, that Won Rundstedt's dismissal
has further impaired the morale
of the German Army, which on
the Eastern front is now on the
verge of collapse.

1872, 900 barrels, according to data
reported to the Bureau of Mines,
United States Department Of the
Interior. Compared with the total
of go, 565, 900 barrels for the pre-

crease of / ,233, 900 barrels compris-
ing a decrease of 100000 barrels
in stocks of domestic crude and a
decrease of $4,000 barrels in stocks
of foreign crude. Heavy crude-oil
stocks in California, not included in
the misunderstanding stocks, totaled
5,895,00 barrels, a decrease of 1000
barrels.
Current reports of the industry
for. the week ended June "a indicate
an increase in crude-oil production
and large decrease in crude runs.
According to the A. p l., the daily
average output was 1888 900 bar
rels, or 1900 barrels above the pre-
ceding week. Daily average crude
