RECORD THE BIRTH
OF YOUR CHILD

Every child has a right to a
correct record of his birth. Your
responsibility as parents, phystl-
clans, midWives and friends is to
see that every baby has record
of his birth filed with the local
registrar. There are many I'M
portant uses of a birth certificate.
The time to file the record is
when the baby is born--not when
he is older and has special
need for it. The hospitals, as a
rule, file records promptly. 1t
is the baby who is born in the
home who is neglected. Do your
duty to your race and your chill
dren by reporting unattended
births to Mrs. Mary Alice Hood,
deputy registrar of Big Rock and
Campbell townships. She or
Miss Nellie Hale, nurse at the city
health center, 701 West Markham,
Little Rock, will be glad to help
you file the certificatx ~ irth of
your baby.
The law of the State OF Arkan-
sas requires that the certificate
of birth shall be filed with the
local registrar of the district in
which the birth occurred, within
ten days of the birth" If your
baby's name is not listed you can
be sure that the certificate has
not been filed with the regis
trar, according to the regulations
of the State Board of Health.

1t Can, Surely Be Said
Champ Used His Head

Champ Clark, speaker Of the
house from 1911 to 1919, had to
battle poverty in order to get an
education. When he finally man.
aged to scrape enough money to-
gether to 60 to college, he took
his schooling very seriously. Clark
kept his nose stuck in a book from
morning till night-even skipping
chapel.
However, the school authorities
insisted that he attend services
and he did-for short while. The
bookworm appeared in chapel
with his head completely shaved.
So great was the disturbance his
naked dome caused that he was
excused from further attendance.
In his senior year he made an
average grade of $3.50 per cent!

Congress in India a Party,
Not a Legislative Body

With the trouble that the Brit
ish Raj is having at the present
time with the Congress" in India,
it is curious to recollect that this
movement was started in 1885
largely through the work of an
English member of the Indian CIV
il service, A. o. Hume, at the sug-
gestion of the then Viceroy, Lord
Dufferin.
Originally named the "Indian
National Congress-" it is not, as
in the United States, the title of
a legislative body. 1t is a political
party-the largest and best organ
lied in India, although its men,

that these younger pilots knew a
million times more about combat
than did. I'd corner some of these
Flying Tigers and ask them ques-
tions, for longed for the day when
I'd get to fly on attacking missions
with them.
At first they were hard to know.
The men they had met as represent
ing our Army in China had been
pretty harsh with these high-strung
flyers, who after all had done the
greatest job in the war against the
enemy. In the beginning they were
reluctant to answer my questions or
tell me the secrets of their success
in combat. They couldn't understand
why a Colonel in the Army Air
Corps had to know anything. AS
George Paxton put it: Didn't the
Army know everything? Seems
like to me-" he said, "every army
officer we've seen out here knows
all the answers"
When he found out that I was Sc
rious, and that my ambition was to
get over there and fly with them,
and learn combat from them, so
that in the end l might teach it to
our younger pilots who would be
coming out, he told me things that I
would never have learned otherwise.
First" he said, leading me off
under the wing of one of the P-40's,
''first, the Old Man says, never turn
with one of the Zeros. He says
that's bad"
I learned that the Jap ship would
outmaneuver anything and would
outclimb the P-40 four to one. "But
that doesn't matter" Paxton said.
''The P-40 is the strongest ship in
the world. It's heavy as hell, but
that makes it out-dive just about
anything, and it'll out-dive the Jap
two to one. With those two Fifties
and the four thirty-caliber guns in
the BIS we have done pretty good.
Now with the six Fifties in the new
Kittyhawks we out-gun anything"
He told me that Hill, Rector, Bond,
Neal, Lawler, and other aces had
seen Zeros disintegrate in front of
their six Fifties, and went on to ad-
wise that I use the good qualities of
the P-40's against the bad qualities
Of the Jap, but never try to beat him
at his own game-climbing and ma
neuverability.
Paxton did me a lot Of good-he
got me my first flight with the AVG
on the Emperor's birthday. But the
Jap didn't come in. We were the
most griped bunch you've ever seen.
Everyone up and waiting at three
a. m.-and then the dirty so-and-
SOS didn't have the CUTS to come inl
I heard story on George Paxton
that will show you the kind of tough
Texan he was. It was down over
Rangoon, near Mingaladon air
drome, in the early days of the Bur-
ma war. Doctor Gentry. who told
me the story, said that the squadron
George was in was aloft and engag-
ing the Japanese over the field. Look
ing upstairs, you could see the con-
densation streamers criss-crossing
the sky, and every now and then a
trail of smoke as Jap Zero burned
and plunged towards the earth.
Finally eight or nine Zeros ganged
up on George Paxton. They got
on his tail and they got all over him.

Another Argument
LET'S EXPLORE
YOUR MIND
- BY ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM, D. Sc
Answer to Question No. l

That the woman is either a
nervous wreck or on her way to
becoming one, that she is an un-
happy wife, and that her hus-
band and children are afraid Of
her, lest they put a chair out OF
place. In some cases it may in
dicate she has something in her
past life she is ashamed of. and
that she is trying to compen-
safe for IL by being a perfect
housekeeper. Who wants to
eat off anybodys floor anyhow
or live IN a perfectly kept
house?
Answer TO Question No, 2
because our enemies exag-
gerate our faults while our
friends exaggerate our virtues.
We need both to keep US in ball
ance. We need not carry a chip
on one shoulder and a dove of
peace on the other, but when
people criticize us, instead of
instantly hitting back. we
should ask ourselves if we do
not honestly deserve it. Nothing
prevents us from improving
ourselves quite as completely
as does self-satisfaction.
Answer TO Question No. s
3-They often do, and il is a
tough situation for both. Usu-
ally in such cases the wife is
really better business man.
