HIGH COST OF TALK cONFRONTS DELEGATES

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -(AP) A Missouri Constitutional Con- vention was in progress and Dele gate Frank Williams piled a stack of books three feet high on his desk.
 That's a subtle reminder of what too much talking will do," said Williams.
 The books, he explained, con- tained the record of the conver- sations that took place among the delegates at a constitutional con- venion held in 1922. It cost the state about $4O,OOO to print htem.

Men used to harvest wheat with a thing called a cradle. A cradle is museum piece now, most able-bodied farmers never saw one. It is scythe (blade like Father Time carries) with wooden frame attached to catch the straws as they fall, so the workman can lay them straight for bundling. Even I can remem- Der seeing farmers cradle patch es too small for maneuvering reaper.
 Swinging cradle is hard work. There is almost none of it done these days. But farmers didn't quit using the device for that reason. They still find plen- ty of hard work to do. The cradle was cast aside because it was in- efficient, extravagant. It used to take the profit out of wheat crop to pay enough men $1 a

work men on purely mechanical jobs are always faced with 8 three-cornered problem men, money and machinery. They can hire mans body for wages or buy machines that will do the same work without getting tired. if interest and depreciation for the machine is less per year than the mans wages, the employer is likely to buy the machine.
 Being replaced by a machine may sting some satisfied labor CTS pride but he is soon benefit ted by learning to manage cold steel rather than compete with it. This is the very first lesson. the A-B-C of American prosperity built on intelligent work; volume production, low in eostfand good.

 Wages for men are figured by the hour; depreciation on ma chimes by the year. The result is interesting: If two men work eight hours apiece and. keep one machine running 16 hours. a day, the owner thus doubles his out put but does not double his cost. So the owners margin per- unit of sale is wider and he. can low CT his price without cutting the quality. Result: Wages up, prices down. 51o
 Workmen's wages go up with production but that same volume is what lowers the cost of every thing the workman needs to make his home as comfortable .(his life as abundant as that of his employer or anybody else. But volume production requires in vestment in good tools and train ing for men to use them. When are unsafe in Amer ica we may we'll start rehearsing with. grandpa's cradle.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. B. c.: Is walking harmful
for one that has high blood

Answer: Moderate exercise is
beneficial for a person with

exercise.
C. c.: A woman 70 years OF

BEHIND The News
BY PAUL MALLON-

WASHINGTON, June 23--
w Morale of the Nazi fight
ers encountered in France is
mixed. There were some crack
units of the young and fervid
Hitlerites, but interpreted with
those were older men and many
alien units.
These units Of NOMINAL for
eigners TO Germany included a
few ardent Fascists from all the
countries Of Europe, but most
were either fighting for the
money or were pressed into
service. AS a whole, they were
definitely third rate.
This is of highest Importance
because the war now has be-
come a taut rubber band. 1t
is being constantly stretched
farther and farther. II is i'm
possible to say exactly when and
where it will break. yet the
break certainly will be forced
by the impetus of weakening
morale. And il is at least clear
now Nazi fighting power Is no
more than patchwork.
THIS measure also gives the
L overall picture of the battle.
Only at certain points was the
conflict tough, but at these
points our casualties were heavy.
The Germans offered two strong
tank battles against the British
al Caen and lilly. These at
tacks were repeated. and the
British were repulsed before
they were able TO retake lilly.
At Montebourg and Carentan
In the American sector. we en-
countered costly fighting. At
Montebourg our men were
driven back by superior power,
yet in the end were able to re-
take the town.
The famed Ninth Division,
which cut across the Cherbourg
isthmus fought this isolated Bit
ter engagement. The Nazis had
cleverly fende d orchards,
wooded hills, and particularly
hedges along the roads. After
we had spanned the isthmus the
going was easier, but We had
trouble at Valognes. The Ger
mans tried hard TO fight their
way out of the Cherbourg en-
trapment, but $4,000 or more
remnants of three divisions
we're finally bottled.
The Ninth Division earlier
had distinguished itself in the
difficult and dangerous advance
down the northern highway of
Sicily where blown tunnels and
bridges high above the sea mn
peded their path. and also
fought well In TuniSia While
others may claim credit for hav-
ing pushed the isthmuS cutting
drive half way across. il was
the Ninth alone which finished
the task.
WHILE Cherb ourg is de-
w Stroyed, II will be no more
difficult for us to use than was
Naples. There we were able TO
re-eStablish docking facilities in
an amazingly few days.
