breakfast consisting Of orange
juice, toast and coffee"
There is much that appeals to
me in this threnody. Not that I
would go back to the New Eng
land breakfast. because one of
the main requirements of break
fast is that il be easily digested.
But today what with mother of
to the lathe or the Red Cross
and father rushing for the car
pool and brother coming in from
the night shift and the children
to be hustled to school, break
fast is likely TO be a really in
adequate meal as he suggests.
OF course. "orange juice. toast
and coffee" is the skeleton of a
good breakfast. The modern
American. in whose good sense
/ still believe, has left the out
line at least. In the orange
juice he had rapidly absorbed
and concentrated energy and
enough Vitamin c for his whole
day; also, by the way, quite
little Vitamin A and B and the
ribofiavin part of Vitamin G..
Yes, we cannot forego orange
juice or some substitute for
breakfast.

Answer to Question No. 1
No. We remember sorrow
because pain is keener and
more acute thu n pleasure. JOY
also spreads over a wider area.
1t is just a general feeling of
well-being, whereas pain and
sorrow are conferred on some
particular experience such as
the death of loved ones, dis
appointment in love, loss of job,
money. etc.
Answer 10 Question No. z
Parents should study the
problem along with the chill
dren and decide the problem
with. not for, them. Parents
should talk the matter over
with the teachers and school
principal. consider the grades
made in high school, the boy OF
girls ambitions, and especially
their liking for study. OF course.
the latter might be stimulated
by college. but unless a pupil is
in the top quarter OF his class
for grades. IL In q pretty doubt

II to compel the German com
mand TO expend considerable
part Of its strength in a battle
to keep its hold on Italy.
One Of the problematical fac
tors in the final phase OF the
war in Europe has been the fact
that the American and British
armies will be composed of So
called raw troops" without
experience in battle. and will
have to meet the war hardened
veterans of the German armies.
Let il be noted that in the
destruction OF the Gustav Line,
the Poles, who took Mount Cas-
sino, won the first fight that
their division has had.
The American division, whose
designation we do not know,
captured ForInia.
This was a division without
any battle experience whatever.
Both divisions won against
ioflk SrnStTfEu Sti lIldIl NOilltIs
who are among the most for
midable elements of the enemys
strength.
IT is of significance too that
L these Allied armies in Italy
have been nodded out of many
different nstionalitieS.
In Gen. Clark's Fifth Army is
the newly organized French
force under Gen. JUN, which has
done so well.
The Polish division. the In
dian troops, are parts OF the
strangely composite force OF the
Eighth Army.
Yet all of these elements,
though serving under command
ers Of another nationality, have
fought with high morale. with
the utmost devotion and with
complete regard for the COM
mand's orders.
This is a new type OF success
in warfare. Seldom in military
history has II been possible 10
create a perfect fighting COM
mand OF mixed forces.

sketches about heroes in the
south Pacific:
Paul Gillespie. seaman. first

And since these men may ar

When he does get away. he

Of the coral reef at low tide
and looks for sea shells.
You see q lot OF the men
doing that out this way -
searching for beauty as they
step gingerly over the 1intlike
coral and pieces OF shrapnel.
Then they spend hours
polishing shells for their
mothers, wives or swee,hearts.
GILLESPIE has been more
NJ successful than most in his
search for these shells, princi-
pally because a few Of the ma
tive workers have guided him
10 the choicest spots.
He IL tremendously proud OF
his collection. And when I

METHINK did once hear a
WI prophet say that nine old
men were too old, that age, ex-
perience, wisdom did not count
but that in the new dispense
ton, youth and youth alone
should proclaim the truth.
But lin time the prophet him
self took on age.
His voice no longer rang like
a bell, and his mind hardened
upon itself into overpowering
stubbornness concerning his own
inevitsbility.
And those who had been
young with him had also aged.
They were. however, his old
men and therefore age no
longer ian impeachment.
Whatever is his is not 10 be
reckoned as other men are
reckoned.
So we look at the aged ones
grownl old in the service Of him
who once proclaimed the other
nine mo old. Yea, gaze upon
them:
SECRETARY Of State CordeH
Hull. age II.
SECRETARY Of the Treasury
Henry Morgsnthau Jr., age So
Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson, age rs.
Atty. Gen. Francis Biddls,
age Sd.
Postmaster General Frank G.
Walkkr, age So.
Secretary OF the Navy Frank
Knox just died at 70; James
Forrestal. successor, age 50.
Secretary of Interior Harold
Ickes, age 10.
Secretary of agriculture,
Clahde r. Wickard. age 81.
Secretary OF commerce, Jesse
Jonyes, age 70.
Secretary OF labor, Frances
Perkins, age 62.
YOUTH is not to be found
Il among these. Their youth
has fled and some of their faces
are lined with the marks of old
age creeping on.
1t is sad when il happens. but
1t comes to all OF us: first the
greying OF the hair and the
drying of the skin; then the
hardening of the arteries and
the creaking Of the limbs: and
finally the senile effort to be
young again and death.
II would be wonderful II. on
election day, the photograph Of
a candidate could show the I'M
marked face of the youthful
idealist, eyes skyward. lips for

grow old and men bowed rev.
erently to the wisdom OF age.
AS the poet wrote:
