NOSTALGIA OF PARIS
New York Herald Tribune)


1t might seem flippant in the
midst OF SO much suffering, des-
truction and sudden death to hope
for q prompt and crushing defeat
OF the Germans with the deliver
ance Of one city uppermost In the
mind. Home sickness for Paris
ought not to be mentioned above q
whisper amid these desperate eff
forts toward q victory that, among
so many other seemingly more i'm
portant things, will free Paris. But
many Americans who feel this nos
talgia more and more keenly could
never take lightly the ordeal Of
combat troops. Many fell In love at
first sight with this first Of all cities
when they were on short leave from
the western front years ago. After
the war they vacationed from
peace, too, as often as they could in
France. The initial furlough be-
came habit with them.
Breathes there a man with soul
so dead who never TO himself has
said, as he followed a porter
through the Care st. Lazare to a
taxicab, this may not be my own,
my native land; but 1t Is my second
country; the scene OF something
like q second birth that makes me
all but native here? In any case,
Paris belongs to the world and all
the world except her flagitious vio-
iators are excluded from her. Some
times 1t seems that almost chief
among the good things that victory
will bring at incalculable cost will
be the restoration Of Paris to her
own people and to those who loved
her long since and have lost q
while. Symbolically, at least, It will
be the greatest fruit OF victory, for
here still is the capital Of their
world.

The best test Of the adequacy Of
sleeping garments and bed covers
and heating and ventilation for the
comfort and health of an infant or
young child is the feeling Of the
child's hands and feet-if hands and
feet feel warm to your touch the
child is sufficiently protected against
cold.
Most infants and young children
suffer rather from excessive cloth
ing, covers and heat than from In
SUFFICIENT protecting against cold,
In exteremly cold. windy, rainy
or snowy weather one open window
in the bedroom Is SUFFICIENT, and a
window screen made Of unbleached
muslin excludes wind, snow. rain
but admits fresh cir and desirable
moisture to combat the excessive
dryness Of heated air In the winter
time. Such cloth window screens
have been used with satisfaction
for the ventilation and air-condi-
tioning OF Schooirooms in the win
ter. The use Of such window screens
In bedrooms Is good practical way
to protect the occupant against pos
sible gasSing In the night from
faulty heaters and the like.
Infants need relatively less cloth
ing, cover or protection against
cold than adults do. because the
oxidation process. metabolism, vital
fires, combustion Of fuel (food) Is
more active in the infant and the
infants body Is relatively smaller
In surface area and hence less EN-
cient in the dissipation Of heat.
For infant, child or adult the ideal
clothing or cover for sleeping should
be light and dry. Two layers are
better than one layer of any ma
terial. provided the two layers are
not heavier than the one. The layer
of air between the two covers is the
best possible insulation to prevent
too rapid escape or dissipation OF
the body's heat. Indeed, that's why
down, feathers, fur. wool covers are
so warm-they keep q considerable
amount Of air in their meshes or
among their flbres.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

It's not so much the meat that's I'M
available that we worry about, but the
meat that Is strapped. Perhaps in the
years to come we will have more respect
for the small scrap, the chop we could
not finish, or the unwanted wing of a
day old roasting chicken. This week we
noted in the New York City news that
tons of meat were being strapped for
fertilizers and grease to save the cuts
from spoilage. 1t was pointed out that
these cuts were the unrationed variety,
but meat nonetheless. Lack of storage
space is the reason given for their scrap
ping.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-14

Hotel managers are discouraged try
ing to take care of twice the number their
hotels are capable of boarding and room
ing. Every available space is used; rooms
that were once used for office space and
other uses are fitted with cots, and still
they cannot take care of all who would
like to stav for a night or two.

|27 Anthracite Firms
Are Fined $4,000
In Antitrust Case
BY the Associated Press.

~ thc AssOIthtSu Efcbo.
NEW YORK, July 26.--The Glen
Alden Coal Co. Of Scranton, Pa,
worlds largest anthracite producer,
and 26 other hard coal companies in
Pennsylvania were fined total OF
$61 900 In Federal Court today on
charges of conspiring to fix prices in
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
The companies and rs officers and
employees entered pleas of no contest
May 2. Sentences on individual de-
PENDANTS were suspended.
Judge John C. Knox said that
while the defendants were legally
chargeable with the offense alleged
against them" he was of the opinion
that they were animated by worthy
motives and accomplished a good
end"
Doubts Public Suffered.
II doubt the validity of the Gov
ernment's contention that the pub
lie, as result of the misdeed of the
defendants, was really made to
suffer-" Judge Knox said.
The Government contended the
alleged price-fixing conspiracy be-
gan in 1899 and continued until
April, 1912. Trade practices, dis
counts and prices, the Government
said, were agreed on at meetings in
New York.
Judge Knox declared that large
sums of money invested in the in
dustry yield little or no return"
and that operators, instead Of
being permitted to operate their
properties and to have the protec-
ton of the law in doing SO, were
forced to market their products in
competition with huge quantities OF
coal that, with apparent acquies-
cence on the part Of Pennsylvania
authorities, were stolen from its
rightful owners"
Would Balance Advantages.
If the detriment that has come
to the public were to be balanced
against the advantages 1t has re-
ceived," the jurist said, ''one might
plausibly argue that the defendants,
instead of being evil-minded male
| factors, were animated by worthy
motives and accomplished good
ends"
Prosecutions "such as this" cannot
satisfactorily solve the anthracite
industry's problems, Judge Knox
declared. adding:
AN effective remedy, II one Is to
be found, must be of more funda-
mental character. 1t may be that
the State of Pennsylvania cannot
effect the cure that Is sorely needed.
If so, trust that it will take action
to preserve and protect the great
asset that nature has conferred
upon the commonwealth"
