Taking the Railroads for . Ride

The nations railroads have done the best job in their history during this war, and if they attempt to protect their tu' tuFe interests by developing regional in' tegrated transportation systems they may be called on by the Department ot Justice to defend themselves against charges of planning a peacetime trans p0rtation monopoly.

Science. philosophy and learning in general are international. For centuries the thinkers have made little of national boundaries as they pioneered in their fields of know ledge. Tn our own time a few n certain lands have yielded to fear or temptation and betrayed humaps ity's faith iD them by turning pa- tl0nalist. But in doing so they have ceased to be thinkers, and their names are already forgotten.
 One reflects upon the unlyeFsality of learning iD looking over the list, published today, Of the LatinsAnerg lean Fellowsllips for l9aS granted by the John simon Guggenhein Mem1 0rial Foundation.

 The slogan or college yell, is "Ikl, Kaki, Konl1i, SOokekh"

 It is clear enough what the first two mean. But just what Osler had in mind when he mentioned over work of the muscles and the stress and strain oG high-pressure life he did not explain.

TIES WITH HALIFAX

Churchill's ties to Lord Halifax, Ambassador in Washington. are even deeper.
 HalifaXis ancestor, according to Churchill's own account in his book, ''c0nducted a parliamentary fern 0f life insurance. At 2l, Marl- borough furchasde from Lord Halifax fer i,500 pounds lgiyen him by hte Duchess Of Cleveland) an annuity of 500 pounds for fife. It was a profitable investment. He enjoyed its fruits for nearly fifty years. It vas the foundation Of his fortune"
 However. the earlier Lord Hali- fax performed an even greater service for Marlborough whicl Winston Churchill has not for- gotten. Marlborough was sus- pected of treason for communicate ing witht he exiled King James and was thrown into the London Tower by King William of Orange. Churchill tells in his book how, af- ter Marlborough had been in prison six weeks. Lord Halifax 'idid not fail him and secured his release after putting up bail Of 5000 pounds.
 Today, Churchill will never fail the present Lord Halifax.
 NOTE-Tlle Duke of Malrbor- Ough, who fought the Battle Of Blenheim against the French is considered one of England's great est soldiers. Somewhat like Win st0n Churchill, he is described as having "held together for years an army dr1wp from every nation in ChFistendOna."

Lord Halifax, for instance. will never have to leave his post as British Ambassador to Washing ton as long as Churchill is Prime Minister, for Halifax's ancestor once saved the Duke Of Marlbor- Ough from jail.
 Likewise. churchills friendship for Sir Alexander Cadogan and the latteris appointment as Bri- tlsh peace-machinery negotiator date back to the fact that Cado- gan,s ancestor was chief of staff to the Duke Of Marlborough when Marlborough invaded Ireland in l690.
 Sir Alexander is now chief Bri- tiSh delegate to the Dumbarton Oaks conference to lay the cor- nerstone for future world peace.
 Churchill best tells the story himself in his book on Marlbor' Ough.

 Blood and Skin

Please state the differences ula, distinguish Negro blood from White blood and Negro skin from White skin. tM. A
 Answer-There is no al fferenee between the blood of a white psr- son and the blood Of a member of any other race. There is more pigment in the skin of a Negro than in the skin of the average White. But here again, it is im- possible to distinguish the skin Of a light colored Negro or part Negro from the skin of very dark ibrupeD White or part white. Sc gregati0n of blood of White donors from the blood Of Negro donors is practice of which the county should be ashamed.
