Major DE SEVERSKY

IRON and oil were described
recently as the two materials
that "lie at the base Of every
thing that is done in modern
war
The description was offered
by James V. Forrestsl, under
secretary of the navy.
So fundamental are these ma
terials, he declared. that de-
spite the large reserves at home
the United States also must
dip into the deposits of Cuba,
Brazil and Chile"
With the death of Secretary
Knox, the specific weight OF Mr..
Forrestal in the Washington
lineup has increased.
His voice is the most infiuen-
tial in naval affairs.
He is regarded as the most
vigorous opponent of plans TO
merge military services with
-vieMEtn- eliminating duplication
and providing more realistic
organization for the countrys
air power.
In the nature of the case Mr..
Forrestals views can be &C.
eepted as representing prevail
ing opinion in upperbracket
naval circles.

Iron and oil are the key ma

tary arm are less concerned
about iron and gilmore con-
cerned about light metals and

Aluminium, magnesium and
other light metals have already
acquired terrific importance be-
cause of the growing weight of
aviation in war making.

Answer TO Question No. 1
The II. A. Moss test of Social
intelligence shows that most
women have a keener sensitive
ness than men about what to
do in social situations, how
others feel when they make a
bad break and how to put such
sufferers at ease about IL.

Far better. Teach children
the right things to spend money

then the habits of saving for
these things will naturally de-
