are the same as the little
man who wasn't there" or
the Brownies of our child
hood fairy tales, or the
Gremlins of our Air Forces.
Leprechauns could do great
deeds for you providing you
could keep your eye on them
until you extracted promise
from them that the job would
be done. The rub was that the
little devils were adept at dis
tracing your attention and get
ting out of sight before they
committed themselves to help
ing you out.
WHAT / READ
Like Will Rogers, all l know
is what / read in the papers.
l also read the ads, especially in
our magazines of national cir
culation, because they are so
made up with nice pictures and
smooth reading copy.
The newspapers tell me that
production has tripled and
ouadrupled since the beginning
of the war, in fact, it has gone
far beyond the widest dreams
and hopes which the planners of
mass production methods were
able to conjure up four Of five
years ago.
Thumbing through the pages
of some of our slick paper mag
azines, | notice that some COM
pany or other has been award
ed an Army-Navy az" for ex-
cellence in production and has
an overpowering desire to tell
the world about it. l also note
that there have been some pro-
duction cutbacks because the
industries producing several
war materials were months and
months ahead of schedule.
WHAT ABOUT WORKERS?
In my newspaper browsing, /
run across stories to the effect
that here and there the workers
have laid down their tools and
quit work simply because they
want this country to lose the
war. Of course, it couldn't be
because their employer is TAX
ing advantage of the war and
starting a fight with them. Per-
ish the thought. Employers are
too patriotic for anything like
that. All the employers want
from this war is five year am
ortization plans, a few paltry
billions in profits and exclusive
rights to do what they wish
with their employees.
Editorial pages carry the
same theme. Neal O'Hara pulls
up a chair to have a few
thoughts while shaving that the
returned soldiers have a right
to hunt out all labor leaders
and punch them in the nose.
Pegler views unions with
alarm and points with pride TO
4. the independent" spirit of his
brainless brain child, George
Splevin, who is one brave moron
who will not be bludgeoned in
to paying a buck month to re-
ceive 500 a month raise in
pay.

thousands of workers are needed at

His ability to get along with Con-

Work-or-Fight Edicf

Draft Official Says

A broad extension of the admin

the application of community pres
sure on 4-Fs, is advocated by high
ranking selective service official.
Col. Francis Keesling, selective
service legislative officer, late yester-
day told the Senate War Investigat-
ing Committees manpower inquiry
he favored:
/. Broadening the prohibition
against men 18 to 81 quitting war
plants without draft board approval
to cover men 38 to As.
2. Authorization of pressures upon

engage In war work"

@. How many free ports are there
in the United States?-L. OR.
A. At present only one coastal
| city, New York, is a free port. It
was established in 1887. Here, for
eign goods shipped to the United
States may be stored or transshipped
to other countries without going
through the customs.
@. Are there any tigers in Africa?
L. B. r.
A. Tigers are found only on the
continent of Asia. They are not in
Africa
@. What was done with the flag
which draped the casket of the Un-
known Soldier on its journey from
France to the United States?-
E. L. H.
A. 1t was placed in the amphi-
theater at Arlington.
@. What was the Last Mans
SluU !-fI. ~. N.
A. The Last Mans Club, which
was dinner club composed of Civil
War veterans, originated in st. Paul.
MINI. Each year there was an an
nual dinner and places were set for
all the original members, even those
who had passed on. Capt. Charles
M. Lockwood of Chamberlain.
S. Oak. 93-year-old Civil War vet
eran and last surviving member,
died in 1885. Other clubs were or
ganized along the same lines by
survivors of later wars.
@. What tribute did Emerson
write in his journal upon the death
OF Daniel WebSter?-W. B.
A. Emerson wrote of Webster,
Mature has not in our days or not
since Napoleon, cut out such mas
terpiece."
@. How does it happen that in
formation about soldier sent to
next OF kin sometimes differs from
reports in the casualty lists?-I
R. G. E.
A. The War Department says
that its published lists of Army per-
sonnet killed or wounded in action
are based on prior notification sent
to the next of kin. In case of diver
gence between published list and
information sent to the next of kin,
which may be due to the time in
volved in preparation of the lists,
the last War Department telegram
or letter to the next of kin is al
ways the appropriate final author
ity on the status of soldier.

Postwar Planes to Speed
Flow of Food, Medicines

CHICAGO-U.P)-Tulips will
fly in from Holland and Easter
lilies from the West Indies. Resi-
dents of little Southern and
Western towns will eat steaks
such as they never saw before,
and tree-ripe figs, papayas and
nectarberries will grace supper
tables all over the world shortly
after they have been picked, j.
Prescott Blount of United Air
lines told the 39th annual meet
ing Of the American Meat Insti-
tute.
Transporting Of perishables
by air will change the habits OF
Americans throughout the coun-
try, he predicted, and will revo-
lutionize entire industries. Just
as important, it will make the
work of the American housewife
still easier, as we'll as offer her
new food for her table.
The important volume OF
flowers moving by air prior to
the war is only a drop in the
bucket compared with what we
will see in the years immediate
ly ahead" he said.
The location of flower-grow-
ing industries probably will be
changed greatly on the maps OF
the world, due to airplane trans
portation, he added.
SPARK NEW TRENDS
For instance, the big metro
politan markets Of the East, such
as New York, are the creates,
luxury market, be explained
Once, when fresh vegetables
were considered a luxury, acres
of greenhouses sprang up in the
East to fill this demand. When
the refrigerator car was in
vented, the greenhouses changed
their crops of vegetables for
flowers.
Now, with the transportation
of flowers by air, the green
houses perhaps will produce
penicillin, or with some conver-
sion, mushrooms. Business is
constantly adjusting itself to
new trends" he added.

In urging pedestrians to avoid
having an accident by following
all rules of safe walking, Chief
Rosso pointed out that total of
207 pedestrians were killed in
auto mishaps in Michigan dur
ing the first six months of this
year.
Accident records show that
two-thirds of the pedestrians
killed in rural traffic accidents
and six out of 10 killed in urban
accidents were either violating
the law or committing an un-
safe act, Chief Rosso said.

SHOW AUTHORITY
Promptly at 9 the American
officer appeared at the camp
but he was not met by the senior
German officer, a colonel. He
was met instead by a lieutenant,
who introduced himself as the
colonels aide, and said the
colonel would be a few minutes
late. Ignoring the tardiness Of
the German colonel, the Ameri-
can officer proceeded without
him. At about 9;l0, the German
colonel entered and promptly
flew into a rage. He informed
his men that he was their sem
ior, and that they had no right
to enter into a discussion until
he was present.
The American officer called
the colonel to attention, and told
him that he, the American, was
in charge, and that promptness
is the first order of the military.
He then ordered the German
colonel confined TO quarters for
a week. Without a word the
Colonel saluted, did al about
face, and returned to his quart
ers. The effect on the other
German officers was marvellous.
From that time on the American
had full cooperation.
The American military police

Fairness will be impressive to

lot of firmness from the Gestapo
and SIS boys, but fairness is
something that they'll meet 1or
the first time in many years
w hen Military Government
courts start operating in occu-
pied Germany. The average
German, who occasionally meets
the law for minor reasons-the
man who gets an overtime park
ing ticket or violates curfeW
regulations just because he had
one beer too many-will make
comparisons in his own mind
between the fairness with which
the MP makes his corrections
and the sock in the puss he used
to get from the Gestapo boys.
