Camping Down on the Dole

The newspaper subsidy bill, which would buy War Bond ads in weekly and smaller daily newspapers with $15,0OO,O ,OOO of federal funds, has struck another Snag in Congress Once rejected and later passed by the House Ways and Means Committee, it has now been put lon the shelf of the House Rules Committee, which voted against releasing it.
 The bill has suffered not unexpected decline in popularity since the Senate passed it. The Treasury, supposedly beneficiary, doesn't want it. Neither do the majority of newspapers, including many of those for whom the handout was designed.
 There is good reason for this unpopu- larity. Private advertisers, without too much to sell these days, have been de- lighted to buy space to promote the buy ing of such an accessible, salable and val uable commodity as War Bonds. Each bond drive has topped it's predecessor in the sale of advertising as well as bonds. Treasury research has shown that small newspapers have received fair and just portion of that advertising.
 So why dip into the public till to do the job? The House, even in its tradi- tional mood of election-year generosity, seems fearful of choking on the answer.

Soybean Industry

Soybeans having attained the ranking of fourth among the nations farm crops, dietitians are speculating whether this heralds a major change in the eating habits of Americans. After the war a large percentage of the crop will be released for human consumption.
 Flour, flakes and gritS from the beans may exceed a billion pounds this year, nearly third of which will be destined for the home front. These go into pan cakes, mullins, biscuits, doughnutS, cookies, macaroni, spaghetti and noodles. These are extenderS for meats
 Soy products also go into the produc- tion of candy. The flakes are added to beer to increase it's protein content and stabilize the foam. Soy milk for infants is under development and the flour is used to fortify dehydrated soups.
 That is an imposing list. All these foods will call for more and more DOT cessing plants in addition to mills for the extraction of oil from the beans. Researchers predict that Soybean pro- tein eventually will be as important as industrial raw material as cellulose.

going into third wartime season of max imum food production and minimum farm help And preparations are going forward to recruit a million or more city boys and girls for another summer of farm work. That is more volunteer youth help than has ever been required before from the cities. And if the need is met, there ought to be notable drop in delinquency cases.
 There can't be much better cure for mischief than a day of hard, physical work out of doors. Most city kids are going to be too weary to do anything but lay their aching muscles and sun-toasted bodies down to sleep. It's probably too much to hope that such cure would be permanent. But it ought to be awfully good while it lasts.

All But the White Collar Guy

Impossible as it may seem, the Ameri- can people have been living better and waging a war at the same time. In only a few things have they made what might be termed sacrifices in the interest of victory.
 Because attention has centered on cur tailment of gasoline and lack of new automobiles the impression might be created that war is. working hardship. The housewife, unable to purchase new stove or washing machine, could have a feeling she is paying considerable price to help win the war.
 In many other respects, there has been no curtailment of the comforts and ne cessities of healthful living. There has been plenty of food, in many cases a sur plus. And there has been more money with which to purchase it. Because farmers worked longer hours and enjoyed favorable weather, the American people have had no call to tighten their belts.
 As for wages, with the exception of the white collar group whose wages were frozen, workers are making more money than ever before in history. Factory employees are receiving 80 per cent more in their envelopes than they did in 1889. Living costs have risen, but not 80 per cent.

A Jap Complex

There is additional evidence in the South Pacific war news that Japanese troops, when facing Americans, have an inferiority complex that is counting heav- fly in favor of the United Nations
 Recent news, trickling out of Japan, is that Tokyo propaganda is making an effort to build up charge of sayagery against Americans. The purpose could be to rebut the exposure of Japanese treatment of American and Filipino troops captured at Bataan and Corregidor, but it also would serve to inspire the Japan ese to great war efforts in the homeland.
 The Japanese high command must be somewhat desperate as a result Of losing ip every battle the Americans launch against them. Not since the tide turned have the Japs given United States troops 0r warships a setback. The latest thrust bg General MacArthur's forces offered the Japanese a chance to bloody Anlerl- ce's nose" but as usual they, instead, took it on the prob0scis.
 The attack was a bold move and but for their inferioI1ty complex the Japs would have leaped to make a counter. attack. That Is what Americans would have done under similar circumstances.

A Thought for Today
George Ade, Humorist

Another American humorist has passed on. George Ades death this week fellows closely the death of Irwin s. Cobb the "Sage of Paducah". Without question George Ade was one of this country's most famed, if not the most famous of American writers in humorous vein. His death at the age of 78 years climaxed a distinguished literary career which covered more than fifty years
 A Hoosier author who made h. diana and himself famous, he dissipated gloom through his facetious phraslngS. He was witty and wise and philosophical, and waved humorous pen, you might say in his writing of books, in news papers, magazines, plays and moving pictures.
 He did not start out In a grand way at a big salary but like so many of his con temporaries who learned much through experience, began at modest $6 week job, which would be pretty lean plcklngs for the lad starting on a similar career today Early in life he saw its funny side and gave the reading world many laugh in his unique and famous Fables in Slang.
 Lest any of us forget it might be re- corded that in addition to creating such CnardcC6rS as AIC1S E14Ih MoA01' ."Doc Horne" and so on, he wrote some musical comedy lyrics, among them "The Sultan of Sulu,' and "The College Widow" Ade was nothing if not a man of parts, and from the 1890'S on provided no end of wholesome reading matter through his books and the newspapers He certainly contributed much in the way of refresh ing literature on the humorous side and became an American tradition, a forth right philosophical American who created a style of writing which has delighted his fellowmen for the past fifty years.

But there was no packing around it and 1t was in several pieces. When he wrote back for a new button, Major Hicks replied:
 "There are no provisions for replacing broken buttons. There fore, we are unable to comply with your request"
 NOTE: Some of the boys think that with all the gold we have spare some for those discharged buried at Fort Knox, we could from the service.
 CAPITOL CHAFF
 One of Father Cou2hlin's old packers, Robert Harriss, the cot- ton broker, is now promoting a candidate to run against able Congressman Wright Patman of Texas. Patman has been too fortnight for some of the boys lately T. A. M. Craven has let it be known he will not ac- cept reappointment to the Federal Communications Commission when his terms ends in June. Actu- ally this is just face-saving, for the inside fact is the President would never reappoint him Congressman A. L. Miller of Me- braska, the man who broke the letters on MacArthur, let loose a blast against Ben Cohen, Ed Pritchard and other brain-trust- CTS recently. Pritchard shot back:
 "Since MiIIer's friendship for MacArthur was the kiss of death, I prefer to have him kick me" Isolationist Congressman Fred Busbey, COP satellite of the Chi- cago Tribune. is preparing a smear against Cohen, Erich and other advisers close to the White House.

NAME YOUR POISON

We read your column, and I pasa your teachings on to the other fel- low on many occasions, although my wife says Brady isn't always right.
 Reading your recent article Sale of Poison I learn that acetanilide is dangerous to health and life. [ give the label on my drug store headache tablets closer scrutiny and find that each tablet contains 3 grains of acetphenetidin, 2 grains of aspirin, # grain of caffeine, N grain of quinine sulfate. As I have taken these tablets freely whenever had headache I wonder whether "acetphenetidin" is another name for acetanilide. (R. J. Al
 Acetphenetidin is the oficial (U. s. and Br. phar1noc ocopoeia) name for the coaltar derivative otherwise known as phenacetii1. Acetpheneti- din Cor acetophenetidin) is virtually the same in effect as acetanilide (otherwiSe known as phenylaceta- nide), having the same sense-dead- ening or pain-relieving, blood-de- Stroying, heart-damaging action as the more familiar acetanilide. One is as likely as the other to cause lips, nails, skin to turn ,dusky or bule or the heart to stop beating.
 If I were in your place, son, I'd depend on straight aspirin (acetyl- salicylic acid) if I had to resort to any dope for headache or other ache or pain, rather than take chances with the more dangerous pain killer drugs.
 But at that, I'd worry good deal if I had any such ache or pain aften enough or of such severity to call for temporary benumbing 7 of my senses-at least I'd worry until I found out what ailed me and took whatever steps might be needed to correct or cure the trouble.
 The poor goof who drugs himself with such stuff in order to forget for the moment that he is i'll, tired, worried. yes. even in danger, is in- deer upathetic. The U. s. govern ment must be held responsible for intoxicating the Idea that these sense-numbing drugs can cure or help" cure anything. When the government authorities know 1t is too raw to say the dope cures any thing they get around that difi- culty by the neat little expedient of saying 1t "helps" do what they know and, by rights, every one should know. the dope will not and cannot do. Among liars your Uncle Sam sets the style and technique, and as long as you follow the de- vious way Uncle Sam approves you can get away with murder, and it is-al good respectable American business.

so aid pounding of them from overhead is not too effective. These pillboxes, buried in the mountains at Casino were ter rifically effective, and more. of them are reported lying in wait behind the shore along the coast of Western Europe.
 MONKEY WARD
 Shortly after the government seized Montgomery Ward, Walter Hayes, former secretary to Teddy Roosevelt, telephoned his friend, Jim McGranery, assistant to the attorney general. McGranery was out, so his No. aide, A. De- witt Vanech took the call.
 What can we do for yOu?" asked Vanech.
 'I have ordered . lawn mOw- CT and a set of harness as de- scribed on pages g and S6 of your catalogue" sternly replied Hayes. Please tell your boss that if the order isn't filled at once, I'll switch my business to Sears and Roebuck."
 DISCHARGE BUTTONS
 With more than a million men now honorably discharged from the Army for wounds, health or age, the question of honorable discharge buttons becomes more and more important.
 It took the Army some time to design a discharge button, but now it is designed. men and officers have a hard time getting it-un- broken. The buttons are made of plastic and when mailed to veter- ans, usually arrive in broken pieces.
 One discharged Air Forces cap- tain got his discharge button all right in an envelope from Major Jesse c. Hicks, assistant quarter mteser, Hill Field, ogden, Utah.

HOsPITALIZED MULES
CNew York Heraid-Tribune)


 In more than one war in which this country has fought there has been no more useful adjunct to conflict than the mule. Derogatory stories, supposed to be jocular. con corning the heels, ears and difh- cult disposition of mules are cur- rent among civilians wao never get closer to a mule than a comic strip or a three-ring circus. But in armies-from the days of the Ro- mans to those of General Joe Etil- well-the qualities of patience, ell- durance and intelligence possessed by mules have ever been well known and put to good use.
 How valuable mules have been proving to our forces in Burma is Indicated by a late dispatch telling of 100 wounded and sick mules evacuated from the Chindtts'g front by planes specially fitted with bain- boo stalls for the comfort of the ins valids and having along, for ali one knows to the contrary, a flight nurse or two.
 Not only Is this news interesting as confirming the worth Of the mule of Missouri Kansas and Kentucky as a pack animal on the tough zoe ing of jungle trails but 1t also enc eouragingly points to our control Of the afr in that part Of Burma where we have troops behind the Japanese lines,
 If mules are being flown out. mules and other things Of military use are being flown sn. At a time when sure supply lines 10 the chin- dit'g front are SO vital, we have landing fields and air transport service suiaeiently ample 10 eyaeu- ate sick and wounded mules. May these feuF-legged, iong-eared jungle fighters recover promptly and aT- rive peTslsEentiy back on that din. cult front they have done SO much tG maintain.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The magistrate in Brooklyn, N. Y., who gave some suitable homework to two teen age boys who were caught breaking off branches of large shade tree in the bor- ough will have the hearty approval of those property owners who experience sim liar vandalism on their property. If it were not punishment the task assigned to the boys might be considered somewhat of pleasure. They were told to copy Joyce Kilmer's poem, "Trees," twenty times and come to recite the verses in court. Failure to do so would result in more adequate punishment

Lindsay merely taking vacation in the summer. He expects soon to retire per- manently from the cast and will be sue ceeded by Arthur Margetson.
