that there was no other way for Jes-

Therefore, in going from Judaea IN
to Galilee, according to the
scriptures, he must needs go through
SAMARIA.
Why must Jesus go through Sa-
maria? What makes it so binding
that he must go through that way!
Now, according to Biblical history
and the recognized scholars OF sacred
Antiquity, the Jews, from whose lean-
cage Jesus came. and the Samaritans
had no dealings with each other, both
groups were victims Of a religious
and racial prejudice that ran back Tor
some number of years. And, Oh,
What cursed thing race prejudice is,
even in cur times, and sometimes even
among Christians. No doubt it has
its bearing in thi. great global war,
which is causing so much misery and
blood shed, and many homes to be
t orn asunoer never to be reunited
again. There was a mortal feud be-
tween the Jew and the Samaritans
that it would be an act Of cowardic'

Offiec of Dependency
Benefits

Army wives and other dependents
of Army men and women, with a
single exception, need not pay income
tax on family allowances or Class +
allotments-of-p pay, Brig. Gen. II. N.
Gilbert, USA, Director of the War
Department O. f ic e of Dependency
Benefits announced today. The ODB
is the activity of the Army Service
Forces which administers these bene-
fits for the Army.
Many inquiries have come to the
ODB from anxious dependents OF
Army personnel, asking if they should
include the money they have received
in family allowances or Glass E allot-
ent-of-pay checks as part of their
earned income" on the tax returns.
The answer is NO.
"The possible exception is the di-
vorced wife who is receiving family
allowance or an allotment-of-pay in
payment of alimony," the Director ex-
planned. "Such dependents should
consult their local Internal Revenue
Office for a specific ruling in their
cases."

The story that we have before US
is that of Jesus in a dialogue with a
woman who was a Samaritan. This,
I consider one Of the greatest of the
many beautiful Bible stories. In it
the fact comes out that Jesus is pass
ing from one place of much humani-
tartan service, going to another. We
note with keen interest the geogra-
ply as well as the topography of the

drive against the Jap-held Marshall Islands in the
central Pacific appeared under way today with an
nouncement that formidable carrier-based aerial
squadrons land-based bombers and warships of the
United States continued to blast the enemy island
bastions through a second straight day.
Word of the consecutive assaults came from head
quarters Of Adm Chester w. Niitz commander in chief
the IT, S Pacific fleet and indicated the action still may
be in progress
washington naval circles, it recalled, have been
predicting a offensive in the Pacific, including
possible early invasion of the Marshals which lie north
west of the American controlled Gilberts)
Adm Nimitz revealed that American warcraft

Role for France in

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 13.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle stold Paris and the world
last night that France wanted full
participation in discussion and
adoption of plans for conquered
Germany and liberated Europe.
In an address to an assembly ot
the National Council of Resistance,
Gen de Gaulle declared:
"We believe it is in the better in
terests of all mankind that the ar
rangements which tomorrow will
govern the fate of conquered Ger
many should not be discussed and
adopted without France, because
there is no power more interested
than France in what concerns the
neighbor with which she has had
for more than 1000 years to occupy
herself more than with any other.

Q. What two structures are fac
tors In determining the size of
United States warships?-O. l.. A.
A. The Panama Canal for width
and Brooklyn Bridge for height.
@. What church has a revolving
altar in order to minister to various
faiths?-K. G.
A. The chapel in the United States
Naval Hospital at st. Albans. N. Y,
has revolving altar to accommo-
date Protestant, Catholic and Jew
ish faiths. 1t is the first to be so
equipped
Q. Could a President and Vice
President belonging to different DO
lltical parties be elected in Novem-
ber?-S. E. r.
A. Technically it is possible for
President and Vice President of
different political faiths to be
elected, since members of the elec-
toral college may cast vote for any
candidate. However, due to the sys-
tenn which has grown up In this
country whereby presidential pref
erences are shown on the States
ballots this is not actually possible.
Q. How many men constitute a
diviSion?-R. T. w.
A. Official information on the size
OF the various units of the Army
is not available. A triangular in
tantry division includes approxi-
mately 14,615 men, and a square
infantry division about 2l,3O0. A
cavalry division consists Of. ap-
proximately 1925 men.
@. Are there such things as mag
netlc hills up which automobiles
coast?-E. L. H.
A. Automobiles do not coast up-
hill. The fact that they seem to is
the result Of an optical illusion
produced by contrast in two grades.
Such hills may be found wherever
roads curve around large hills or
mountains. The sharp contrast of
two grades or two declines produces
the illusion.
Q. Who was the first person to
sing THE Star Spangled Banner?
H. w. E.
A. 1t is thought to have been
Ferdinand Durang, who mounted q
chair and sang the song in the old
tavern adjoining the Holiday Street
Theater in Baltimore.
Q. Please give the name of the
ancient city which has skyscrapers?
IN. H.
A. The reference is probably to
the ancient Arabian city of Shibam
which has mud buildings rising to a
height of II stories and which re-
semble our skyscrapers.
