THE NEED FOR NURSES
Bridgeport PoSt)

Tn the nation there are about 265 ,000 nurses of whom 75000 have volunteered for the armed forces Of those who have not volunteered, there are many who are disquali- fled because of age or physical handicaps. Miss Dorothy V. Wheeler executive secretary of the New York Nursing Council thinks as whole the profession has responded nobly to the call for volunteers, consid- ering all factors.
 Nonetheless she agrees whole heartedly with President Roosevelt that to get full quota of nurses for our armed services we must resort to the draft. The President said he hoped this could be accomplished without too seriously disrupting the home front or creating serious nursing shortage in our hospitals and institutions.
 The hospitals and institutions will not agree with that for they are ex- periencing the shortage already. But one reason for this lies in the new competition from industrial plants all over the country which now employ registered nurses in numbers hitherto unknown.
 Whether nurses are more essen- tial in factory restroomS and first aid rooms than they would hA in

FULL-TIME JOB
(New Haven Journal-Courierl

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 Vice President elect Truman showed good judgment in his an- nouncement that he planned to de- vote his full time and efforts to the job of being vice president. For that job promises to be a man-sized assignment in the next four years And we don't think MT. Truman is putting himself in the Throttle bottom class by electing narrower range of duties than that under taken by Henry Wallace.
 As presiding officer Hi the senate. MT. Truman may help to guide that contentious body on wise course of foreign policy. And, as liaison man between the Capitol and the White House, he will have an op~ portunity to promote executive sena- torial cooperation in the vital con- clusions of peac etretaies and our membership in the postwar United Nations organization.
 MT. Truman brings to his new post a reputation for integrity and the respect of his colleagues in the senate. If he can use these assets to help bring about peace settle ment in accordance with the peo- ple's wishes, he will have raised the office of president considerably above it's traditional importance.

Wallace and the Spider Web

For all anybody in Washington knows, Vice President Wallace is laying quiet and emulating Sir Robert Bruce of Scotland who, with curious eyes surveyed a spiders toll. Six times the little climber strove and walled, six times the chief before his foe had quailed "Once more" " he cried, "in thine my doom I read "
 Vice President Wallace is not inclined to take any sort of an old job and he will likely refuse any offer of the Presi- dent unless he believes it will furnish him place in which he can strengthen the one-man policies and principles that he has always chanted, and never com promised. Whatever you may think about Wallace, be it good or bad, you must give him credit for being an honest and brave politician

What's in Q Heil!

A Stockholm correspondent of The New York Times reports that 40 per cent of the Germans are living on bad food from Army or government canteens, that near-Starvation levels may be reached by spring, and that there will be further suffering unless a mild winter offsets the severe coal shortage. But the correspond ent says that the Germans aren't taking it lying down. In Berlin at least they have their little joke" When they greet each other now their "Heil Hitler" is sup posed to convey doubt as to whether Hitler or Himmler is head man.
 What a revenge! First they heiled Hitler with enthusiasm. Then they heiled him at the Gestapo's orders. Now, in their desperation, they are getting bold. Of course they don't dare stop heiling Hitler But they have their little joke. Perhaps on quiet street, they even dare murmur the greeting with rising and quzzical infection. 1t is easy to feel contempt for such a sheeplike tribe of humanity. It is less easy to feel much hope for them, or for their contribution to a postwar world of free men intent upon enhancing the decency and dignity of their race

A Peoples Peace

Peace can be made and kept only by the united determination of free and peace-loving peoples who are willing to work together, willing to help one an other, willing to respect and tolerate and try to understand one another'S opinions and feelings" That prescription for peace, stated by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress on the state of the union, is one with which most of the Presidents fellow citizens are in accord. It is tremendously difficult and re- SponSible assignment, but the great ma jority of Americans will accept it because 1t coincideS with their own deep desires. The great difficulty, of course, lies in the fact that even in the freeSt modern democracy the people cannot dictate the details of international policy. Most of these details are presented to the people as accomplished facts, against a back ground of insufficient knowledge and inadequate information How then should the American people go about their i'm portant task of helping to build what MT. Roosevelt calls peoples peace"? Per haps we can take the key of our future actions from the tone of the message in which the President assigned this task
 That tone was hopeful and at the same time full of grave concern. It was un- Swerving in it's principles of freedom Self-government and durable peace yet conciliatory toward the conflicting ap- breaches to the realization of those prin- cipleS It was not a challenging or heroic statement of foreign policy, but it was noble, sincere, and at the same time, practical Thus far Americas popular expression has been less inclined to- ward moderate view of some Allied pol icieS than has it's government leadership. Perhaps we shall learn that it is wiser to respect and tolerate" more in trying to weld separate and conflicting determina- tiOnS into united determination. This will not be easy when one country'S na- tional policy becomes matter of interna- tional concern such as when, recently, many months of politically-inspred quiet on the Polish front seem to have cost the Allies lives and territory in the west.
 But whatever the doubts and diSap- pointments that inevitably await the American people in their portion of the peace-making task, there is one positive thing that we can do. We can make known our continuing and unshakable determination for a united victory and united peace.
 The people cannot be expected to ap- plaud or even accept without comment every excursion from the road toward world peace that other governments may make. But if we make it clear that neither tolerance nor opposition will cause us to abandon these broad principles, the American people will at least have made a beginning of the endless and exacting, but rewarding fight to make and keep the peace.

The Arts of Taxation

The wartime rates of taxation are so high they impinge heavily on incentives to invest and undertake new job-mak- ing enterprises. But how is it possible to cut drastically and especially onerouS taxes such as the war-imposed excess profits tax?
 The double taxation of income, first in the hands of the corporation and then in the hands of the dividend receiver, places dual penalty upon corporate enterprise and the job-maker. But the business man with small net income, gets even harder blows beneath the belt than cor porations and stockholders.
 Brother: You might just as well sub- side, and relax, because little adven- ture with simple arithmetic will prove just one thing, i.e.: Taxes will not de- crease they will be higher.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

It is encouraging these days when unpleasant things face us to know that after the war the Bronx Zoo in New York has great plans for the future which will be solid comfort and more space for the animals The animals, confined for the pleasure of man, will not be so circum- scribed Cages and so on will be done away with and with added land their enclosures will be so constructed as to suggest the natural African or other habitat In fact the zoo is to have fine future for the public and the animals of and when the plans materialize.

Death and the Driver

Death strikes hard at the winter motor ist. This winter 53 per cent more peo- ple are going to be killed in highway accidents than were killed during the summer, if the figures for last year hold true again. Throughout the ice, snow and sleet areas cars will skid helpleSSly on ice and snow patches on the streets. In addition, pedestrians will hurt them selves by falling on icy sidewalks and crossings. It happens every winter so regularly that most of us don't pay much attention to it. The shocking fact is - TT WOULDN'T NEED TO HAPPEN. If we wanted to, we could save many of those lives and reduce the accidents.
 One reason for these many winter deaths is that it takes from to Il times more space to stop a car on an Ice and snow-covered road than it does on dry pavement. Even the driver who cuts his speed with this in mind is far from safe, because National Safety Council tests show that he doesn't cut it nearly enough.
 As means of reducing this annual toll of life and property, many cities and states are cooperating in safety campaign to spread inexpensive rock salt on streets and highways during ice, sleet and snow storms. The rock salt crystals first act as an abrasive, then bore through ice or hard packed snow like an auger, breaking 1t up and keeping it from sticking to the road. As a result, snowplows can scrape right down to bare highway without leav. ing dangerous ice or snow-patches that otherwise spot the streets at intervals. It is these patches that cause so many acci- dents. since the average motorist, travel ing on bare highway most of the time, hits them at full speed. In view of the Advantages to motorists and pedestrians alike of winter long ice-free streets and crossings, our own street department should consider the advisability of CO., operating in this highway safety cam paign.

 ROOSEVELT FAMILY BIBLE
 The President received a gift he greatly valued when Rhode Islands aristocratic, scholarly Sen. Theodore Francis Green called to present him with an old family Bible which had bene given the Presidents mother in 1865. The Bible, bound in 1924, had be- longed to Eliza Parker, second wife of Warren Delano, the Presi- dents great-grandfather on the maternal side.
 It was discovered last year by Atty. Henry Grove of Uawtucket, R. l., during examination of an old estate. The Delanos had lived in New Bedford, Mass, whaling city near Pawtucket. The Bible contained a number of pencilled notations by the second Mrs. De- lano. It will be sent to the Roose- velt Museum at Hyde Park.
 While Senator Green questioned the Chief executive about future orders for the Newport torpedo station, the President delightfully."- thumbed through the old Bible. Finally, he assured Green the as- signing of more orders for torpedo parts did not mean Newport

regular hospitals or at the front, is question which ought to receive some consideration.
 Let us agree that the army and navy should have first call on fully trained, fully qualified nurses. But there are a variety of nursing jobs on the nome front in which nurses aides or those who have received only partial training might serve admirably.
 More emphasis on this kind of service would help to release the nurses for the armed forces.

Selected Poem
INHERITANCE

Pauline Hayard in The New York Times What does Man inherit? The bitter wine of tears? Pain that flogs the spirit? Sorrows poisoner spears? Green thimbles that are hill-tops; Night-skies that suddenly bloom With star-buds opening gently, And leaving ample room And yet we, too, are sharers In the rich bread of dreams,, For dusty, spent wayfarers, The silver threads of streams; For new young moon to glitter A iingernail of lightl
 Though wine of grief is bitter, We mortals still have Night; It's quiet dark for dreaming; Its punctual stars that chart That lonely, perilous journey. The voyage of the heart!

 WHEN THE HAIR FALLS OUT
 Following a severe illness the hair of child or adult may fall out be- cause vitality has been sapped or exhausted by the illness, and not vica versa. It is never necessary to clip the hair with the idea of conserving the patients strength. So far as health. vigor or vitality may be concerned, there is only one reason for clipping hair short to facilitate delousing when the hair is heavily infested with head lice and nits. Ordinarily it is not necessary to cut hair even for this i purpose if the infectation in recent and not extreme.
 For that matter excessive falling of hair is generally result or sign of poor health. nutritional def1cien- cy or advancing age.
 Nutritional deficiency here does not mean that the individual doesn't get enough to eat. On the contrary in most instances persons with nutritional deficiency eat too much food. particularly too much refined carbohydrate food but in gorging on refined carbohydrates they get principally calories and not enough of the essential minerals and vita mins.
 The excessive falling of hair and early badness of old age, like hard ening of the arteries, may begin or appear at thirty in some cases, at fifty or sixty in others. But don't take this to seriously, for it is merely a general observation. My arteries are still nice and soft, or reasonably so, although I was sporting a promising bald spot at thirty.
 Massage of the Scalp | Daily massage of the scalp by grasping it with the hand and squeezing folds in your hand as you would squeeze water from a sponge, I going over the entire scalp in this morning, is worth while for excess sive falling of hair and to prevent premature badness. I doubt that any mechanical massage is as good as self massage or hand massage by barber or hair dresser. Only this kneading massage is advisable, not rubbing Of friction.
 1 Hair ReStOrerS
 A number of medicaments are beneficial when applied to the scalp | for treatment of disease of the scalp, just as some remedies are useful for the relief or cure or skin disease when applied to the skin It is absurd to imagine any such agent can either "nouriSh' or "feed' the hair or restore" the growth of the hair,
 Hair Oil
 Every hair has it's individual oil ing system. The duct of the oil gland empties oil into the folliele of cup-shaped depression in which the l root of the hair is embedded. Nor mally this is the best oil, pomade or dressing and it is secreted in just sufficient quantity to keep the hair in perfect condition. The glands that secrete the oil are iden- tical with the sebaceous glands thai secrete skin oil upon the entire skin surface eysept palms, soles and backs of terminal phalanges of fingers and toes.
