a comfortable home for a dog.
In addition, licenses could be
taken away from those who
treated a dog cruelty.
1t is our opinion that many
dogs are better citizens than
their masters. We would like
to see a turnabout of dog and
mans legal relationship where
by the owner would be the re-
sponsible party and the dogs
sole concern would be over
wearing his masters license
plate.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
FESTIVAL.

If you are one of those who put off
job till the last minute-well, then
you are in good company. Homer Croy,
the writer, tells me that Will Rogers
did that. AS an example, he had to
file his newspaper comment by two
o'clock each day; but he always
waited till the last possible moment
to bang it off on his old portable. If
he was at the studio he would go out
to his car, where he kept his type
writer, climb into the back seat,
spread TIE typewriter on his knees,
glance through the newspapers, then
begin to peck out his copy. And usu-
ally he would get his copy on to the
wire by nose. But he always got it
there, except once when he was down
in Mexico and miles from a rail-
road.
He was a man of prodigious en-
ergy. He slept only seven hours a
night; often was up by six o'clock
in the mnrning and would set pace
that wore others ragged. When he
and the late Frank Hawks, the avi-
ator, went to raise money for the
Red Cross, they flew from one town
to another. During this time Will
would make three speeches day.
He was gone a month and came
back in fairly good condition. Most
of the movie stars of today who go
cut on bond-selling tours, and do one
show a day, come back completely
tagged. But not Will Rogers.
He had an energy-saving secret
that was invaluable to him. When
he worked, he worked; when he rest
ed, he rested all over. And when he
was not working, he was resting.
Right there is most valuable Sc
cret. If you are driven to the full of
your energies, then rest every pos
sible moment. Relax fully, COM
pletely.
He could fall asleep anywhere, at
almost any time. He would even fall
asleep reading a newspaper-then
wake up refreshed. This ability to
doze off to sleep in five minutes,
even one minute, was one of the Sc
crets of his amazing energy.
Here is another example of men
who have to do long and sustained
jobs and must conserve their ener-
gy. During the first World War Ed
die Rickenbacker was, for while,
chauffeur to General Pershing. Nat
urally General Pershing was work.

DOG LICENSES.

We never could quite see
why a dog should be subject
to capital punishment for not
wearing a license. But in thou
sands of towns it is common
practice to take an unlicensed
dog to the pound and execute
him if his owner doesn't inter-
fere
Much better, we think, is a
plan recently suggested for IL
censing dog owners rather
than the dogs themselves. And,
instead of merely making IL
cense available to anyone who
want one, it might be hu-
name to issue them only only
to those people who could
prove that they could provide

PRISONERS OF WAR.

From the standpoint of pure
ly selfish motives, as we'll as
humanitarian ones, it may pay
us in the long run to have
gained a reputation for giving
prisoners of war better treat
ment than they get in any 9TH
er nation. If it only means that
our own boys, in German or
japanese prisons, are treated
just a little better than they
might otherwise be, the effort
is worth while.
But you can't blame Ameri-
cans, who read about the poor
treatment given to some of our
soldiers by Germany and ia
pan, for becoming incensed
when they hear that German
prisoners in the United States
get better food and more COM
forts than do many American
civilians.
We don't necessarily recon-
mend more rationing of the
fare given to prisoners, but we
do think, if we are going to
keep prisoners healthy and
well fed, the results should be
put to the best use possible.
And we can't think of a more
useful and fair suggestion
than that prisoners be re-
euired to give each month a
pint of blood to the Red Cross
for the use of our own wound
ed soldiers. Then, at least in
directly, the good food given
to these prisoners would be-
come a valuable asset to our
nation.

THE CONSTITUTION.

No matter what may happer
to the Atlantic Charter, the
Dumbarton Oaks Conference
or the coming meeting of the
"big three" thank heaven the
Constitution of the United
States still stands as our origi-
nal guide post to our nation. II
has been plastered with mud,
shot at by brain busters, and
in instances, has been super
seded by bureaucratic and ex-
ecutive orders, but like a great
tree, the branches still cover
the 48 states with the roots
firmly imbedded in the minds
and the traditions of the great
est nation on earth
The Constitution still divides
the Government into three
separate and yet interlocking
divisions-the Congress, or
the voice of the people, the
Executive, whose duty is to see
that the laws of Congress are
properly and impartially exc
cuted; the Supreme Court,
that is to rightly judge that
the Congress does not overstep
its limitations.
The Constitution of the Uni
ted States is the greatest hui
man document proclaimed
built to defend and protect the
rights of the people, and the
greatest obstacle to the in
sane ideas of tyrants or the
whims of those in power.
So, no matter what happens
in 1945 or 1916, let US stick to
the Constitution, believing in
its justice and integrity, and
defying any and all who would
attempt to emasculate that
document that gives US the
right to "life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness" This is
the firm belief and hope of one
who simply signs himself Pop

bines parts of all of them. Who
knows? But there is one point
on which all agree:
Chilean Nitrate Of Sodo
wos ereoted by tremendous
nofuroi processes. II is COM
pleieIy natural >. the only
nofvroi nitrate in the world.
Because of its natural origin,
Chilean Nitrate of Soda con-
tains, in addition to nitrogen
and sodium, small amounts of
boron, iodine, manganese, cop
per,-34 elements in all-many
of which are essential to healthy
plant growth.
Yes, a hundred years of re-
search and experience agree
on the importance of Chilean
Nitrate's natural qualities and
their outstanding performance
in continued profitable farming.

MEAT-cOntrOl.

MEAT-cOntrol.
An even more disturbing story of
counterfeiting was the recent seizure
in Chicago of counterfeit meat cou-
pons totaling two billion red points.
That is enough red points to buy all
of the beef sold to our population for
three-weeks period.
The fact that few criminals would
look to the ration coupon field as a
juicy sources of dishonest revenue is
to be expected. But the revolving side
of the story is that they knew there
would be a market for these coupons
that they knew where thousands of
butchers, restaurant owners and house
wives who would jump at the chance
to buy these coupons even though it
would rob others of meat and could
lead to a total breakdown of our ra-
tioning system.
1t is estimated that the meat cou-
pom racketeers expected to make
about S2,500,00O out of the sale of
these stamps. The gasoline stamp
counterfeiters did collect over a mil
lion dollars from their racket. Either

SAY NAZIS WON'T QUIT.

Paris, Feb. 5.-While the fall of
Berlin to the advancing Red Army
would seriously impair Germanyis
capacity for continued resistance,
there seems little disposition here to
believe that it would result in out
right surrender. Adolf Hitler's last
speech on the anniversary of his as
tendance to power shows how little
inclined he is to call it quits, even in
the hour of imminent collapse.

field offers excellent opportunities for
the future for promising young
crooks. And it is quite possible, un-
less some method is devised to bring
this type of counterfeiting to halt,
that all rationing currency will be-
come worthless and the black market
will become the sole source of scarce
products.
The OPA is taking effective steps
to control the counterfeiting menace.
But in the final analysis. the only
adequate control must come from a
decision of the American people to
refuse to contribute to the welfare
of criminals.

CITIES-blame.

CITIES-blame.
1t is significant to note that the
the sale of counterfeit gasoline and
food coupons is confined almost en-
tirely to metropolitan cities. Large
rural areas that have practically no
counterfeiting," says Mr.. Bowles,
"are offset by cities that are turning
in an appalling number"
Part of the reason for this is that
there are more customers per square
mile in cities than in the country. But
it is also undoubtedly true that the
country people wouldn't do business
with the racketeers, and the counter
feiters know it. Racketeers know that
at all times, country air is unhealthy
for crooks--and in wartime they rea-
lie farmers and small town people

Vast beds of Natural Nitrate
in Chile's desert region are nat
ural deposits = enough to last
hundreds ofyears-of one of the
oldest and best known fertilizer
materials. Mystery of their ORR
gin long has challenged science.
Many theories have developed.
Some say prehistoric plants
were "nitrifed" by bacteria in
the soil. That's what Pasteur's
work suggested. Others say they
are decayed vegetation.
There is a belief the nitrate
beds are droppings of billions of
birds. Another, that electricity
formed them through centuries
of violent storms. Some think
the beds are rotted rocks; some
think they are crust pushed
up from underneath.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


The office of price administration
seems considerably cheered because,
in two months check-up, only 3l2
million counterfeit gasoline coupons
were picked up. "These counterfeits, :"
Administrator Bowles proudly points
cut, 'are substantial reduction from
the estimated number of counterfeits
year ago"
In statement on the situation Mr..
Bowles goes on to pay high tribute to
the members of the petroleum indus
try who have given whole-hearted CO.
operation and ''to the many American
people who have shown their disgust
for black markets and those who pa
troniZe them'
Somehow, however, | am not too
impressed by this record. Having
been in Washington, where everybody
talks in terms of billions, for some
time now, Mr.. Bowles may feel that
a few measly millions aren't worth
worrying about. But among motorists,
who scrimp and save on gasoline in
order to get along on two gallons
week, the mere mention of millions of
gallons is enough to make them start
seeing mirages.
l don't blame Mr.. Bowles or the
OPA for this condition. realize that
1t is practically an impossible job,
without employing 10000, ,OOO-man
police force, strictly to enforce any
kind Of rationing. But when we realize
that there are SO many men and VIC
men in this country who will deal with
racketeers in order to get more than
their share of essential products, it is
hard to continue to feel much faith in
the integrity of the American people.

Montgomery Airpark
Praised

Issuance by the Maryland State
Aviation Commission of a provi-
sionai licence To the Washington
Aviation Country Club for estab-
lishment of an airpark at the
Bradley Hills Country Club was
described today as encouraging" by
Charles Adler, jr., chairman of the
board of directors Of the Baltimore
Chapter, National Aeronautic Asso-
ciation.
Approval of the application for
the project, filed by John p. Hober-
man, was announced Saturday by
the commission. 1t was contingent
on permission by the Montgomery
County Commissioners within the
next 80 days, since the area is now
zoned residential.
'It is an encouraging sign" Mr..
Adler said, that the commission
did not heed the protests of Mont
gomery County residents who op-
posed granting of the airpark license
on the ground that the operation
would be nuisance.
THE commission now apparently
has made it matter of policy not
to regard an airport or an airpark
as a nuisance per Sc"
Opposition to granting of the
license also had been voiced by the

Montgomery Charter
Group Hopes Day
Will Have Free Hand

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today pledged its full
support to willard r. Day, recently
appointed county supervisor. add
ing that "if he is allowed to serve
in Montgomery County as real
county manager, he can greatly i'm
prove the administration Of county
affairs"
Mr.. Day, former Henrico County
manager, has proved his ability, the
committee said in a statement re-
leased by Allen Gardner, adding:
Whether Mr.. Day is permitted to
serve as a real county manager
seems to depend on two questions.
First, whether those politicians who
have long dominated county affairs
will give him the authority which
a true county manager should have.
Second, whether it is possible for
any one to administer affairs prop.
erly under the poorly drafted coun-
ty supervisor law which was passed
at Annapolis last spring.
THE Charter Committee wishes
for Mr.. Day a successful admins
tration and will give him its sup
port. 1t urges the citizens to back
him up by seeing to it that the right
persons-of a type different from
most of those who have been elected
to county Offices in the past-are
elected next year as county COM
missioners and as the county's rep
resentatives in the Maryland Legis-
