Making Life Worth While

The war has had tendency to make people
forget that in normal times industry lives to
Please consumers. However. wise industrial
representatives have not forgotten. They know
the day is again coming when their survival
will depend upon giving consumers what they
want. In shop and laboratory competitive
battle is even now raging, the objective of
which is to hit the market after the war with
better products.
After two years of research, the coal in
dustry has developed a super-efficient, small,
soft coal-burning heating unit designed to sell
for about $50. It is smokeless, delivers half
again as much effective heat from the same
amount Of coal as an old fashioned furnace.
It utilizes every bit of coal and can be left
INTENDED for three days.
More remarkable than the furance itself is
the new fuel to be burned in it-coal so clean
i. can be handled with kid gloves. 1T won't
exactly be wrapped in cellophane, says Harry
Vawter, director of the Bituminous Coal In
stitute, ''but pretty close to it. In addition
to being laundered at the mine, it will be
coated with thin film of plastic, wax or
light oil. 1t will be so free of dust, you will
be able to handle it with white gloves without
getting them soiled.'
He adds that bituminous coal is mined in
"a states and there is enough to last 5000
years. Nine out of every ten tons are now
mined mechanically, thus helping to keep
the price down.
In the meantime. confess other industries
have their own innovations ready to spring on

"Combustion on Wheels" by Da-
vid l.. Cohn (Houghton Mifflin;
$2.75.)
Perhaps David L. COINS Com
bustion on Wheels is not the most
fascinating bit of folk history this
season, but it will serve as such
until something else comes along.
It is good humored, factually Sc
cure, and it makes good use of
something quite strange. I do not
know why the period from h e
'Nineties to the present h u d
seem more remote than, for ex-
ample, Douglas Southall freeman S
War Between the States, but it
does. Even the pictures of women
swathed in wells and lost in capa-
cious busters have a look of fan
tasy about them Not to mention
the cars.
MIR. Cohn's book is, of course, a
history of the automobile and of
it's impact on American civiliza-
ton. It is a tripartite history, but
Mr.. Cohn moves the three divisions
along at the same time, or ap-
proximately. He describes the pro-
gress of the car itself, mechani-
cally; the way in which. the bust
ness side grew and changed, and
the effect OF these factors on the

ordinary man. On the extraord-
nary man, too. If the book has
a fault, it lies in the fact that the
author has sighted, a little, the
mechanical side OF the story. The
struggle to develop a starter (as
one example) hal some remark
able effects on The motor car bust
ness.
But there may be enough of this
for a non-mechanica; reader, and
certainly the other two factors are
nicely managed Mr.. Cohn points
out, for example. the remarkable
fact that until his success with the
Model T, Henry Fore had other
wise an almost unbroken record of
business failure. He was also, Mr..
Cohn writes, eager to sell out to
Durant when the latter organized
General Motors, and would have
done so had Durant been able to
pay cash. This was just before
Durant himself was squeezed dry
by Wall strickland squeezed out
of General Motors.
But the record of how America
was pulled out of the mud into the
finance companies offices is SUI
perbly, remarkably, told. This is
folk history of huge future impor-
lance, the more ralataple because
for Mr.. Cohn it is full Of chuckles.

Wrong Order

Advocates OF more government control in
the administration of medical care, usually
wind up their arguments with the challenge
that if the doctors don't do something''
promptly, socialized medicine will step in with
al the answers. By do something they mean
t. virtually install a doctor in every home,
whether he is wanted or not. If the issue
of whether the United States is to have So
cialized medicine turns upon the ability of
the doctors to work economic miracles, the
country will undoubtedly get socialized medi-
cine.
The real place of medicine is well described
by Hygeia: THE history Of medicine of any
period is the history of contemporary economic
social and political conditions Medicine pros
pers in discovery and improvements along
with other branches of science; in turn, these
discoveries reflect similar progress or regres-
sion in the social and political life of the times
The social and economic problems encounter
Cd m the practice Of medicine are not peculiar
to medicine and cannot be solved by medi.
cine alone Bad housing and bad nutrition con-
tribute directly to bad health, but they arise
not through any fault Of medicine but from bad
economic and social situations And so their
cure is to be sought not through radical
change in medical procedure, but rather in the
renedylng OF social ills, in which effort medi-
cine will gladly participate. The cure of many
a sociologic-medical problem is a grocery or
DER rather than prescription"

What we are is Gods gift to US: what we
make of ourselves is our gift to God.
ANDREWS
Away With Animosity

Americans will choose a President today
just as they have every four years. in peace
and war. Tomorrow again just as always,
Americans will remove the campaign buttons
from their lapels and once more become citi-
zens of the United States, not Democrats and
Republicans.
This discarding of campaign buttons is al.
ways symbolica1, for we discard most of our
animosities with them. The storm of politi.
cal feeling is swept away, with only few
disappointed dehards still grumbling like
distant thunder. But this year we need to be
sure that all animosity vani hes quickly, for
time is precious and much remains to be done.
We must close ranks behind the newly elect
ed President and Commander-in-C Chief.
We must remember that the majority has
spoken and decided, and that it has spoken
freely at a time when such freedom is partcIl-
larry precious. We must remember that the
greatness Of America is America itsef-its
millions, not the leaders or parties that come
and go.
And we must remember that the world
looks to that America of the millions today, to
its strength and it's freedom and its decency
for hope and help. It is only nation undi-
vided and indivisible that can maintain that
strength, preserve that freedom, and enhance
that reputation for decency in the world of
nations.

BOX
JONES vs. JONES

To the Editor:
Often in the past I have been
tempted to contribute to your Let
ter Box in reply to some of your
acid editorial comments and criti-
cisms. However. this is the first
time it has been impossible for me
to inhibit the desire to tell you
exactly what I think. Even though
you undoubtedly will never publish
this letter I cannot remain silent
in the face of your deliberate mis-
construction and distortion of the
facts in the Case of the Friday
night tragic fire. Also, I wish to
reply to the sca1f ing attacks on
Assistant Chief Grimsley by MIR.
Charles F. Jones ard others in the
Sunday November 5th Star-News.
First of all, let me assure you
that I have known Chief Grimsley
long enough and well enough to
be certain that, regardless of rules
and of consequences had he but
been informed Of the plight of the
child he would have Immediately
dispatched men and equipment to
the fire. Therefore, any personal
attack upon him is absolutely I'm
warranted and In extremely poor
taste.
Next, you should know that any
reluctance of the city to send fire
men beyond the city limits is not
prompted by any question of re-
enumeration or by any attempt to
force the suburban sections into the
municipality. T n e greatest single
consideration is Il e fact that any
and all protection to the men in
the event of injury ceases at the
city limits; not three or six blocks
beyond. Men have been injured and
permanently disabled or killed
while fighting fire. Those so injur-
ed within the City have a hard
enough time getting compensation
there is no consideration at all
shown men injured oUtsid. the city.
Any accusation OF financial gain or
interest is childish. The cost to the
city every time fire truck leaves
its station is considerably more
than $500. This arbitrary charge is
set in order to discourage unau-
thorized fire calls and to pay a
small percentage of the expense.
Likewise, any statement that the
City is trying to force the suburban
residents to come within the limits
is equally childish. In spite of the
fact that the City's protective
forces are Inadequate for its own
requirements it has always been
more than cooper alive. The deci-
sion of the suburbanites to come
into the city rests entirely. with
themselves as they have so ably
demonstrated in the past.
The truth Of the matter is that
the county has failed miserably in
it's responsibility to it's citizens.
Everyone knows that the county
has never been able to come to
an agreement on anythin, not reg
ulated by legislatui e, The antiquat-
ed county government with its ex-
orbitant taxation could nave provid-
ed against just such a deplorable
situation long ago

of the best ways to debunk the
popular theory that exhaustion or

With a mans cowardice or inabil-

out the percentages of such cases
which return to combat duty.
For most of them do return and
almost all get some kind of active

1t took the Tunisian campaign to
teach medics that it is better to
treat most exhaustion cases within
earshot' of battle than to remove
them from the combat zone.
Through Sicily and Italy neuro-
psychiatrists shifted closer to the
battle sectors until now in some
instances they are being placed
right in the combat line of the
Western front.
To counterfeit false legends and
general misconception about ex-
haustion, they usually are known
only as ordinary doctors, not as
specialists. Also they treat tn e
cases JUS tas though they were any
other type of physical ailment or
injury. They avoid tile use of any
terms by which the ma1ady is gen.
orally branded.
Since exhaustion is caused al
most entirely by physical condi-
lions, countless cases never 6 e t

The new ceilings price on beer will
become effective July 1, it was report
ed, and OPA deemed the action neces-

alleged chiseling on the March AZ

ceived complaints that 15c bottle beer
was being sold for as much as 35c and

Dor again will be called upon to play

of which $6,OOO,OOO,0OO is to come
from sales of War Bonds to individ-

tary Morgenthau said, individuals in
vested $5,3O0,OO0,OO0. In planning to
get $4,000, 100000 in individual sales
in the Fifth War Loan we are asking
the American people for more than
ever before. Fifth War Loan goals
were set high because the nations

money this year to keep the wal

Grafton of Labor has served notice on
all it's affiliated organizations that this
is no time to strike. The soldiers of
production must keep pace with the
fighting soldiers of our country in
loyal service and with high morale.
No other considerations can enter into
the picture when we know that the
one big job ahead of all of us is

Knowing the hearts and minds of
the seven million members of the
American Federation of Labor, / do
not hesitate to predict that they will

gloriously as they began it.
