THE MOCKING BIRD IS SING

$2.75).
1t is a little difficult to say why
E. Louise Mally's The Mocking
Bird Is Singing makes the effect
it does, unless one charges it off
to the impact of nostalgia at time
like this. The novel does make a
deep impression, whatever the
reason.

about the country at a great rate,
including battles Of the War Be-
tween the States, Washington, Bos.
ton and other places. The atmos-
phere is Creole, and one Of the
numerous purposes Miss Mally had
in mind was to indicate the way
in which an artificial, or in any
case foreign, culture influences
those who hold to it in a land
such as this. She brings it Oft, too.
And she brings it off in spite Of
singularly complicated narrative

Our Chief Aim
CT JOS Chances

When CT 10 comes home, the Army tells
him he may wear his uniform for three
months He may demand his old civilian job
back with the seniority and pay he had when
must comply if humanity possible. He may
have special privileges in securing civil service
employment. He should have his discharge
registered at the court house, and get in
touch with his draft board
This is the information in booklet given
by the Army to him when he starts home. It
does not assure him of job not reassure
him to his future. For example, his former
employer may be out of business Or as has
happened, disinclned to fire the man who
replaced him. In the latter CASE the employer
has been made to suffer but CT 10 is left out
on limb indefinitely. Obviously the Army
cannot itself get him reestablished in civilian
life. That job is up to other agencies.
But the Army has been doing something for
him which he could not have acquired other
wise. 1t has been training him in special skills
which qualify him for much better jobs than
he was fitted to fill before he donned a uni
FORM Many poor mechanic is coming home
a good one. Many radio repair man will
return an expert in communications. These
are but two of many lines of employment open
TO CT 10. The problem, then is to see that
openings are made for him in the line in
which he is best prepared to serve
Public works, of course, will absorb many
thousands of returning soldiers. Industries now
engaged on war contracts will require the
services of other thousands both during the
period of readjustment to peacetime production
and afterwards. Business can accommodate
still other thousands, but in all activities it
will be essential that individual initiative shall
not be handicapped by government dictation
or bureaucratic domination.
CT 10 need not have too hard time of it,
when he gets home, unless a paternalistic
Washington interferes with his chances

Estimate Of Income

This estimate of anticipated income, which
must be filed by Saturday by all single per
sons making more than $1,700 and married
persons taking in more than $4,000, is as es
sential making income tax returns.
Saturday, therefore, is quite as importan
a date as March Is in the lives of most Amer
leans. It is to be approached, not with feal
and trembling, but with careful and searching
examination of expected revenues. For any
serious error of computation is liable to bring
penalty few, if anybody, can afford.
It is bad system, which places the in
dividual and firm under a heavy handicap
How can physician or a lawyer, for ex
ample, estimate years income in advance?
How can an industry, retail store, or Other
business firm do it? But the law requires
that it be done, and no one coming within
the requirements can avoid it.
If you have not already filed your statement
it is time that you gave it your undivided
attention. Saturday is near.

Oil For A Thousand Years

The oil picture has been so heavily smudged
with pessmism for SO long a time it is with
extraordinary satisfaction that we learn the
outlook is not as bad as most of us assumed
it to be. We are not scraping the bottom of
the barrel, it seems. On the contrary there
is enough petroleum underground to supply
our needs for many, many years to come.
The fourteen-year maximum, of which we have
been hearing so much lately, is all popycock.
That is to say, it is wrong, provided Eugene
Holman, vice president of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, is right Mr.. Holman, addressing the
Chamber of Commerce of the State of New
York, declared the situation is more reassur-
ing than any of the alarmists would have us
think. And Mr.. Holman is an eminent geol-
ogist. His views carry weight.
The trouble with the fourteen-year supply
forecasters he said, is that they ignore sew
eral important factors, chief of which is that
no more oil will be discovered in America.
1.-THE fact is, we are still finding considerable
quantities of oil, and biologists agree there
are still huge quantities of undiscovered oil
in this land of ours Then he added, to
'It is true that we are not finding new oil
at the rate we were finding it before the war;
but this is largely reflection of reduced drill
ing activities due to wartime shortages O.
material and labor, and ceiling price fol
oil which frequently does not cover the cost:
of finding oil and recovering it. In othe1
words, we are busy fighting a war, and, a:
q nation, We do not have time, the tools, thu
men, and the price-incentive to 60 wildcat

He cited the fact that in 1926 Cabine

the United States had only enough oil to las

Politics In A Middle

Politics is in sorry muddle this year.
On the Republican sde the men who want
the presidential nomination seem least likely
to get it, and one who went after it hammer
and tongs got the axe in Wisconsin. Willkie
was so badly defeated in that states primary
that he withdrew completely.
On the other hand, the man who says he
doesn't want it is leading the field. Governor
Dewey of New York is very Likely to be draft
ed by the party's convention four years sooner
than he would like to be nominated
Governor Bricker of Ohio is avowed as
pirant, with little chance of being chosen
General Macarthur, who is doing a good JOE
in the Pacific and has repeatedly declared ne
has no political aspirations, is thrown head
long into the Illinois primary. Clearly, the
Republican leadership is in sore straits.
AS for the Democrats, President Roosevelt
maintains a stolid silence, as he did four
wears ago. It is useless to expect him to de-
clear his position either for or against fourth
term until the last minute. In the meantime
friends of Senator Byrd of Virginia are build.
ing him up as reluctant possibility despite
his positive declaration that he does not
choose to rum, the ambiguous declaration
of President Coolidge.
With the situation what it is today, the can
didates heading both tickets are one mans
guess against anothers, but the odds seem
to favor Dewey and Roosevelt.
And, despite Mr.. Roosevelt's loss and Mr.
Dewey's gain of popularity it is very doubtful
aaat the Republicans can win with their ia
