An EXECUTIVE of a Wash
"A ington newspaper was cross
ing Thomas Circle late the other
night when he spied one of his
newSboyS acting strangely.
In addition TO selling papers,
the boy seemed TO be operating
some kind of question and an
sWer bureau. The executive
edged in closer and overheard
the boy directing an obviously
extensive clientele where to go
10 buy liquor.
Making sure his ears weren't
playing him tricks, the executive
went up 10 the lad and asked
what in the devil he thought he
was doing.
"Aw," said the youth, dts

measures now being taken, that
our food would have gone far
ther and aided more people had
the administration OF the food
supply been efficiently organ
lied with competent direction
from the very beginning.
THERE was a chance TO do
Il the job well at the COM
mencement Of the war in Europe.
The one man in all this world
who had the experience. the
knowledge and the competence
10 handle the food of the world
was available for that service.
He had set up the first uni
versal feeding organization and
having explored virgin soil knew
what mistakes could be avoided.
His competence as food ad-
Illustrator can not be and never
has been questioned
His abilities in that particular
field raised him, a non-political
personality, 10 the presidency Of
the United States.
He would have placed at dis
poSal Of his own country and
her Allies an intimate knowl-
edge Of food and its administra-
ton by government at war.
Herbert Hoover was ready
and willing 10 serve. lie was
rejected for political reasons.
With one exception, no man
associated with any of the relief
agencies Of the last war or
with the Hoover food admins
tration, has been employed in
this war because of his knowl-
edge and experience gained dur
ing that war or in the immediate
years that followed.
Even when Herbert II. Leh-
man organized UNRRA, he
failed TO avail himself ade-
quately of the vast experience
and knowledge Of the hundreds
Of men who had done the Job
during the last war and who
understand all the intricacies Of
universal feeding.
President Roosevelt calls for
unity among the American peo-
pie but he has throughout this
war failed to use administrative
talent adequately because of
political antagonisms or per-
Sonal diSlikes.
True. many Republicans are
holding office in this admins
tration now, but that does not
matter.
The most competent, the most
experienced, the most willing
have been passed by. because
such men are also the most in
dependent.
One of those is Herbert Hoo
yer, food administrator par ex-
cellence, who twiddles his
thumbs while all mankind, in a
plentiful world, is tobogganing
into hunger.
,And II is not too late 10 uu-
lie his services, TO ask Herbert
Hoover to accept the authority
and to assume the responsibility
for that job.

COME infants are so unfortu-
Dnate as 10 be born with some
type OF defect. One Of the most
common Of these is known as
cleft palate and harelip, IN
which there is split in both
the upper lip and the roof of the
mouth. These babies need inn
mediate care so that they may
grow up with normal features
and normal speech. Such in
fants are feeding problem
from the time of birth. II is
suggested by DR.. Louis w.
Schultz Of Chicago that these
infants be put into a hospital
or proper institution as soon as
possible and remain there until
the lip has been repaired.
THE best time for repairing
l. the lip is when the baby is
3 to 4 weeks of age. and for
closing the palate. when the
baby is from 3 10 9 months, de-
pending on the extent OF the de-
feet and the condition OF the
infant.
Before the operation is per-
formed, everything possible
should be done 10 put the baby
into the best physical condition.
This means proper feeding and.
when necessary, the giving of
vitamin preparations, the adj
ministration Of fluids and, even,
injections of blood into a vein.
Also, the baby's weight should
be brought 10 normal and he
should become accustomed TO a
suitable diet.

swallowing the blood. Within

What IS The OUTLOOK!
Jesse NimmOnS

In the midst of war, and our
thoughts are planning for the COM
ing of February which is called Race
Relations Month. Both groups will
meet together with mixed speakers,
hoping to bring about a better un-
derstanding.
February II is my birthday, and
it is also Race Relations Sunday.
My hopes are that we make every
month a Race Relations month. The
world will soon be a neighborhood
why not make it a brotherhood.
Then we will be going somewhere;
laying foundation for lasting
peace.
We must clean and set up our
own house before we can help some
one else. Let us let this Race Rela-
tions Month be the end of misunder-
standing, and let God have his way,
and all of us become real Americans,
working in a cooperative way. One
for all, and all for one.
When our boys come home and
the battle is over, they would not
like to come back to their homes to
be lynched and denied the freedom
for which they fought.
Race relations Sundays and Meet
ings will be as sounding brass unless
the leaders take steps and make
our problems not race problems, but
Americas problems. Then our work
will not be in vain, but great ac-
complishment.
