The Roosevelt baseball team is
really having their troubles - all
games so far this year have been
decided by the margin Of only one
run-winn;ng one and losing two.
Last Friday night in a swell game
they were beaten in the seventh in
ming when Fordson crossed the
plate for that big one and the
game ended 2 to for Fordson. Bob
Girardin pitched a nice game al
lowing seven hits, tanning three.
Wyandotte scored In the second
inning when Springstead singled
and Stepanik followed suit, Stahl-
man forced Stepanik at second and
Grips famed. Girardin was hit
by a pitched ball and the sacks
were full. Pritchett walked, forcing
in Springstead with the first run,
then to end it, CATERING went out
on a ground ball to second. The To-
cal team had a great chance in
the last inning with two on but
they were unable to score.
The Wyandotte City Recreation

Incredible Statistics

This is war Of staggering incredibility.
Even a person who feels confidently at home
in discussions of infinity and eternity probably
finds some OF the war time statistics as mind
staggering as do the rest of US.
The national debt is quite beyond compre-
hension in terms Of actual money It's increase
or limitation or eventual reduction is an even
dizzier subject We just can't see how nation
can pay out almost $780, OOO 900 every day to
run the war-even when William L. Bait OF
the WPB comes along, as he did the other day,
to show where some of the money has gone.
Mr.. Bats figures on four and a half years
of American war production are as stagger-
ing as the rest of the statistics. More than 81
billion rounds OF small arms ammunition; over
II million rifles and carbines; 246,845 air.
planes; 100, 900 tanks; 81 900 landing vessels,
and so on This is information to make
America stand in silent awe at its own pro-
ductiveness.
But the most awesome and incredible thing
OF all is that shortages can threaten and
exist in spite Of these tremendous totals. Our
production figures are something to stand and
admire only briefly. For production is only
a race with expenditure. And the weapons
Of war, like the dollars that buy them, are
spent at prodigious rate.
When Tokyo is occupied and the Milkado fall
len, then will be time enough for America to
stand back, mop its brow, and stare in sober
unbelief at the astronomical cost OF victory in
planes, ships, guns and cash.

Debt To Society

The well-worn phrase about paying a debt
to society," takes on new meaning in the case
Of the several hundred inmates of three prisons
who have volunteered as guinea pigs in test
ing new drugs to combat malaria.
Their volunteer duty will extend beyond that
of the soldiers who barred their arms to the
anopheles mosquito in Walter Reeds search
TO the malaria carrier. For these men will
not only contract the disease but will submit
to experiments with potential remedies whose
properties and correct dosage are as yet i'm
perfectly known.
the tests are successful. malaria sufferers
have promise not of the relief and control that
quinine and atabrine bring, but of complete
cure OF this recurring disease Most important,
success will provide remedy for thousands
of soldiers who have contracted this painful,
exhausting and sometimes fatal disease.
1t is significant that these prisoners are
promised nothing beyond the best of care.
They take full responsibility for all conse-

They are simple, in the best and truest sense.
