Synthetic Tires
Still Scarce

WASHINGTON. May 81. (UP)-
The office of price administration
reported Wednesday that despite
increased production, synthetic tires
will continued to be rationed only
among B and c card motorists and
that not even all of them will be
able TO obtain new ones.
Although the June ration quota
of 100000 new tires is 100000
more than were available in May.
OPA said that demand is still ahead
of supply and that an A, B, or c
card does not automatically entitle
the holc er 10 new tires. Ration
boards will continue 20 give first
call to the most essential drivers,
it said.
Rubber Director Bradley Dewey
said that production is scheduled
to total 22,000,00O tires this year
and will exceed 100000 a month
in the last quarter of 1914"

SACRAMENTO, May 81. CUP)-
Two state agencies Wednesday an
nomced they had ordered sales of
three types of cheese halted and
stocks impounoed on strong evid-
ence the cheese was responsible for
an outbreak of 63 cases of typhoid
fever in central California.
The state department CT public
health and agriculture said the
cheeseS under suspicion are Roma
no Dolce, Teleme and High Mois-
ture Jack. Cases of typhoid in Kern,
Tulare, Monterey and San Benito
county apparently occurred as
result of transmission of germs by
the cheeses, the departments said.

The agencies also advised all
householders having unpasteurized
cheese of the three varieties to use
them only in cooked form, and
said that manufacturers holding
stocks of the varieties will be or
dered to paSteurize them.
The public health department
said that the most recent case oil
typhoid was reported on May ID.
All of the cases were investigated
and found to be of the same type.
The departments acded that no

MINUTE SHELLS,

I speak. They were taken from
quarry in land which had been
under the sea ages before.
The oceans have great numbers
of small shelled animals known as
"foraminifera.' These animals are
so small that hundreds OF thou
sands of them could be placed in
side thimble.
When the foraminifera die, they
leave their limy shells behind them.
Trillions of such shells can form
layer of limestone.
There are several kinds Of lime
stone, and some of them were made
in different ways. The limestone
blocks in the pyramids, however,
came from shells Of tiny animals.
The Great Sphinx near Cairo,
Egypt, came from limestone Of the
same type This statue, however.
was not built up from blocks Of
limestone. as was the Great Pyra-
mid. 1t was formed chiefly from
mass of limestone which existed at
the spot when it was carved In
making the long legs and paws in
front of the face, the Egyptians
added masonry work.
Limestone has proved of value in
our building industry. Thick lime
stone layers exist in almost every
section of this continent, and the
stone can be shaped into small
blocks. Marks can be scraped on it
with a pocket knife. Yet it is
strong enough to stay in good con-
dition for scores of years in the
walls of a building.

There Is saying among good
bridge players to the effect that If
a player holds hand good enough
to overcall at the range Of two, it
is good enough for him to open the
bidding. While there is more truth
to this saying than is contained in
most bridge maxims, there are, OF
course, exceptions. With some
freak hands, weak in high cards,
but powerful in trick-taking ability,
1t may be better to pass originally,
than come In later in the hope Of

should either open the bidding or

did neither and the catastrophe
that befell him was well deserved.

South, instead Of throwing losing

It is the only kind of isolation
that remains unchallenged at a
time when the bright future of
world cooperation stands beckon-
ing.
How racial isolationism as prac-
ticed by too many states below the
Mason and Dixon line can pose a
ticklish problem for a federal
government bending every effort to
assume leadership in the world
community is graphically illustra-
ted in the treatment Texas and
New Mexico accords citizens of
our good neighbor' country to the
south, Mexico.
GOOD WILL TRAMPLED
All of the good will which our
State Department has been able to
build UP at tremendous expense
among the obviously skeptical ma
tions in Central and South Ame-
RIGA is being trampled into the
dust by the hostile attitude, plainly
based on racial prejudice, which
white border state Americans ex-
hibit toward their swarthy-skinned
good neighbors.'

(ious contempt the citizens of
a country SO close to them, what
would they do to us?
NOT WHOLLY TO BLAME
The white Texans, one might
argue are not wholly to blame.
Have they not been allowed for
all these years to viciously discri-
inmate against American citi-
Gems, whose only crime is that
they happened to be born members
of different race? Why, these
Texans could justly reason, is
there so much disturbance over
their subjecting Mexicans to the
same treatment.
That is just one way the
racial isolationists, allowed
their traditional free
hand to deal with racial prob
lens in their local commune
ties, run directly counter to
everything our State Depart
ment is attempting to do.
Equally disastrous to the Anne
rican bid for world leadership is
the attitude of the racial isola-
tionists toward black Americans,
whose colored brothers and sisters
form four-fifths of the worlds
population.
BOTH EQUALLY DANGEROUS
The failure to remove the Sec
ond-class citizenship status as
signed to black citizens, denial
of equal opportunity, 1ynchings,
denial of the ballot, of equal rep
resentation in democratic gov
eminent, rank discrimination and
debasing segregation do not add
up to good will toward America
among the millions of colored peo-
pie the world over.
For this reason racial isolation
ism must be driven to the same
oblivion that has been the fate of
the America Firsters and other
national isolationists. Both are
equally dangerous to an America
engaged in an about, .global war.
Both pose a dangerous threat to
the permanent peace America for
its own salvation, must perfect
with the rest of the world.
To argue otherwise Is not only
stupid, it is suicidal.
