Blood. Sweet And Tears

By S/Sgt. Des Moines w. Beard
Hq. Co. 372nd Inf, Fort Huachuca, .Ariz.
Blood, the essence of life, will flow
From men of all creeds
I. AS they go through battle for honor
And possessions dear.
That blood ought not be spilled
In vain.
Those creeds. side by side,
Are slain and each
For freedom from want from fear.
Of religion, of speech.
Sweat, yielded by honest toll,
AS muscles strain
{ To build power and might,
Aggression to foil, so not in vain
Children in peace may sleep,
Awaiting eternal night
8 To obliterate cruel obsessions
That kill, contending it's right
To warp a mind and stay soul
In flight.
To glory and its honor-roll
Tears of anguish from hearts
And eyes
About the feet do fall
The tender and the strong alike
Despise forced misery over all.
Though lofty the price and havoc wrought
"a pity through the years.
The challenge is met, for
Freedom bought
With Blood, with Sweat and Tears.

Proper Signing of
 Mr. and Mrs. Cards

A perplexing etiquette problem in this season of sending greetings is that Of how to sign husband-and- wife Christmas cards.
 There are two types of cards, for nal and informal. Formal ones are usually engraved as visiting card would be-with MT and Mrs. h. formal cards, printed or signed by hand, ordinarily follow this rule: It's best to have the husbands name first, the wife's second and the chil- drens, if any, afterwards. For ex- ample, John and Martha Jones and John Jr." If there are just hus- band and wife, the person signing the card writes his or her name sec ond.
 Never send a card without MT, Mrs. or Miss Prefixed to the name of the person addressed; never use an initial for the first name.

POSITIONS HELD FOR SERVICE
MEN AND WOMEN

In anticipation of military demob-
ilization, keystone Automobile Club
has sent a letter to the men and Wo-
men who left its employ to join the
services, promising them lat The very
least position equivalent to what
you held, or better"
The letter, signed by ]. Maxwell
Smith, President of the Club, went
out to former employees now serving
in all parts of the world. They repre-
sent IS per cent of the employed per-
sonnet at the beginning of the war.
There are two gold stars on Key
stones service flag.
keystone, Mr.. Smith said, has
kept its pledge to keep it's affairs in
order during the war period so tha~
postwar security of employment
would be had for every Keystoner in
U. S. Service.
''Now, where do you fit into all of
this? If you return to Keystone after
release, do you have to start ali over
again? Will your position of seniority
be lost? Have you any future in this
organization if you return here?
These and like questions are natur-
ally of burning interest to you.
1.-THE answer to them is frankly a
reiteration of what was said in the
beginning. Every Keystone employee
serving in the armed service since
Pearl Harbor will be welcome back.
Won will have omen to YOU at the very
least, a position equivalent to what
you held or better. Some will be
given positions of promotion imme-
diately upon their return, as no i'm
portant position has been filled by
outside employment since December
Z, 1871, despite the hardship it has
worked on internal operations.
THUS many vacancies exist await
ing our boys and girls return, and
l may say that all of US hope the
return will be SOON"

STATE MOVING TO MEET
UNEMPLOYMENT

Moving to bring the States post
war construction program into line
with the employment needs envision-
ed in the Maryland Post War Com
missions Employment Study, which
predicted an unemployment total of
200. 900 by January / If the Euro
pean war should end In November,
Governor Herbert II. O'Conor called
into consultation Roy Barton White,
Chairman of the Maryland Commits
sion on Post War Reconstruction and
Development, and the members OF
the COMMISSIONS Subcommittee on
County and State Participation in
Post War Planning.
To speed completion of county
and local government construction
programs, Governor O'Conor author
lied expenditure by the Commission
of post war funds from the State
Treasury to match payments by coun-
ty and local governments for archi-
tectural and engineering costs.
Present with Mr. White at TIE con-
ference with the Governor, were
State Treasurer Hooper S. Miles;
Joseph O. McCusker, Deputy Comp
troller; Walter N Kirkman, member
of the House of Delegates from the
Fifth District of Baltimore City,
Chairman and Henry p. Irr, of the
Subcommittee.
A total of $138, 100000 worth of
construction comprising 3O4 projects
have already been programmed by
Ike Maryland Postwar Reconstruc-
ton Commission. The meeting was
to lend new impetus to the public
construction planning of counties and
municipalities, which, studies of the
Commission have revealed, will ag-
gregate between $12,000,O00 and
SIS 100000.
Final working plans have been
completed on % projects, construc-
ton of which could begin Immediate
ly after the war in Europe ended. In
addition, plans and specifications are
in progress on 143 additional pro-
iects, assuring some $l8,OOO,OOU
worth of further construction, much
of which would be ready for immc
diate initiation should the need arise
around January /.
Emphasizing that the possible fig
ure of 100000 unemployed that
might be expected shortly after the
conclusion of the European phase OF
the war was an "outside figure" the
very worst that could happen, Gov
ernor O'Conor made it plain that the
States program for coping with this
or any otker unemployment develop
ments was far along the road t.
fruition and would undoubtedly e
far towards bridging the gap in EN-
ployment before many of the dis
placed workers could be reabsorbed
in other lines.

INCREASED FUNDS FOR
REHABILITATION

A budget amendment n h e
amount of $9,S65 for Public Schools,
in connection with the work of the
Vocational Rehabilitation Division,
has been approved by Gov. O'Conor.
The purpose of the amendment is
to transfer all funds allotted by the
budget for personnel and tarvel in
connection with this program to the
Trainees Service items, so that the
States appropriations may be used
to help more trainees, particularly
in view of the expansion of the re-
Mobilization program and because of
the several hundred more cases that
will be registered.

Fire prevention experts report that
Usual causes of farm fires are defec-
tive heating and electrical equip
ment, chimney or brush sparks fall
.ng on infiammable roofs, spontane-
ous combustion of hay, carelessness
N smoking and in use of matches,
and improper storage of gasoline and

happen to the capitalistic system
such experts will have little to fear
The best insurance against radical

NEW OPA RULING REQUIRES
DEALERS TO SELL TIRES

Under new OPA ruling, tire deal
ers will be required to sell new tires
in stock to any consumer who pre-
sents valid tire rationing certificate
and the purchase price of the tire.
The reason for this new ruling, it
was stated, is because some dealers,
as stocks get low, are telling ration
certificate holders that they have no
tires for sale, when in fact, tires are
available. Dealers are also required
to post daily inventories of their tire
stocks, with cross section size of
S.25 or larger. This action by OPA
is designed to help consumers who
have been issued tire certificates but
have been unable to use them.

YOUTHFUL DELINQUENCY

thrown in recent weeks on the prob
lem of youthful delinquency and
what to do about it. From Memphis,
Tenn, from Boston, Mass, from San
Francisco and Los Angeles, Calf, as
we'll as many other cities and states,
come reports of efforts made to han
die this problem.
That the causes of delinquency
have long been known is pointed out
in a series of articles in The Chris
tian Science Monitor, as told to Laura
Haddock, staff writer, by JOHN }.
Connolly, Director of the Citizenship
Training Division, Boston juvenile
Court. In the year 1915, the London
Society for the improvement OF Prl-
son Discipline and for the Reforma-
ton of Juvenile Offenders listed
causes as follows: "Homelessness;
parental neglect; abnormal family
relationship; want of mental, moral
and religious education; want OF en-
ployment and dislike of work; destl-
tuition; the corrupting influences OF
persons; the lack of classification
in prisons and the consequent defec-
tive discipline; fairs in and about
London which in seven months OF tie
year afforded eighty-two days of Ii
cense and idleness, where temptation
seduced young lads into thefts, for
which the subsequent commitment
to prison sealed their ruin" To bring
this up-to-date, we merely have to
substitute tke taverns and low-grade
night clubs of today for the London
fairs of 1915.
One of the errors which communi-
ties have made in the present era IS
to conclude that, when some person
or group hits upon a good idea Tor
dealing with delinquency, it has SOL
we'd TIE problem. Unfortunately, the
facts of the case do not bear out such
a conclusion. The Juvenile Court was
established to handle delinquency
butt the unfiattering fact remained
that delinquency did not disappear
Industrial schools were set up to
shelter and develop such youngsters.
Progress was made, but not final
solution. Reform school was insti-
tuted for those youngsters consider
ed incorrigible.
It is admitted that each of these
has a place and an important place
in the treatment of the delinquency
issue, but there are also other i'm
portant factors-the home, school,
church, the press, social agencies and
tie character of the neighborhood
where delinquent lives. No one fac
tor is going to solve the problem.
Nevertheless, good teamwork among
all these groups will bring immense
improvement, even if it does not eff
feet a complete cure.
But all of the various groups from
coast to coast are agreed that pre-
vention is more important than cure,
and that wholesome recreation cen
tiers for use in after-school hours are
a vital part of this drive to save
children and youth headed in the
wrong direction. Reports from all
over the country indicate that Amer
lea is at last becoming fully aroused
to the Importance of applying kind
ness, intelligence and unremitting
vigilance to this problem whose cor
rect solution is so vital to child,
youtk and adult alike.

BABY ELEPHANTS sPROUT
WINGS
BY j. II. Jones


Washington, d. c., Sept. 25-
Therell be thousands of airplanes
in the skies competing for civilian
customers in few months from now
At present the air companies are try
ing to establish themselves under the
protection of the United States Gov
eminent. Even though ownership and
operation of airplanes will find a
place in carrying on international
business, it is impossible to say at
this time how it is going to be ar
ranged.
Transportation has got new baby
elephant on it's hands-an elephant
that wants to take the business away
from existing land and water trans
portation. 1t is openly charged that
there is an attempt to establish an
lviation monopoly, and there is plen-
ty of good reason to believe the
akarge is true. Just how the United
States Government is going to fix up
he business in a way that will be
air to all the companies and groups
is almost as clear as mud-particu-
larly in view of the fact that the avia-
ion industry is over-developed. Per-
1aps we can lay that on the war, too.
Anyhow, the United States is not 60
ng to stand for monopolies in the
.ir business.
Vixen it comes to dealing with ev-
IN our best foreign friends it is rea-
,onable to expect that they will be
ound boosting for their own COM
panies and flyers. All of which boils
iown to the question: How can it
be done?
Big Three Will Maintain Peace

preliminary discussions in the cam
paign are all aimed in the same di-
'ection as the Dumbarton- Oaks Con-

appear to agree.
For many months tehre has been
! tremendous lot of discussion as to
| whether the United States can trust
russia and Great Britain to work to-
sether on a plan to end wars. I'm
.oubtedly Russia and Britain have
,een just as inquisitive about this
natter as we are. Now, all three

principal nations that win victories
must stick together in a common de-
