"My resignation from the

Well that fellow Barnes of Connecticut puts on
about as good New England clambake as you ever
tossed between your ears.
L got to Al Pach's along about twilight where
the Mianus River turns and twists like wounded
Gene Tunney already there. Also Charlie Moscon
who the immovable pivot for the famous Dancing
Mosconis Also Hal Ford who buffers his with his
Vandyke.
I'm just showing you that there was plenty of
scofng competition at the clambake. What like about
Barnes is that he bros the chicken separate from the
rest of the works
Usually they pack the chicken in with the fish, the
clans and the lobster The result that it is dryer
than the municipal archives Barnes served his chicken
moist dogs And that's about the correct
humidity.
Now, want to say the clam broth was strong
enough TO knit bones Usually, they serve it thin
they could wrap it in water.
But Barnes gives you the New England clam broth
direct from producer to grabber And let tell you
that some Of Pachs guests had reaches that bowers
could have used to set up their pins.
Barnes charges fnnicker head they buzz
That includes putting up the tables, benches and tent
The lobster was sweeter than refunds on taxes.

THE discovery Of the suliona-
L mide drugs was hailed as
miracle of medicine. Then came
pencillin and in the minds Of
maly persons. there developed
the idea that the use OF penl-
cillin would push the sulfopa-
mide drugs into the discard.
But this is not the case by
any means.
AT present particularly, the
cost, limited supplies, and he
need for giving penlcillln by IN
lection into vein or muscle.

Is true that pcnlcillln has
proved superior 10 the Sulfona-
mide compounds in the treat
ment Of certain infections. aC-
cording 20 Dr.. John a. Kolmer
OF Temple University.
Up TO the present, there have
~ not been many reports con-
Cerning the comparative value
OF penicilhn and the sulfona-
mide drugs in the treatment Of
infections due 10 various germs.
In the treatment Of Stapnvlo-
coccal infections. the pcnIcillIn
has proved superior 10 the sui
fonamide drugs. But, according
10 Or. Kolmer, IN those dis
orders in which both drugs are
found effective. penicillin has
not proved superior IN its et-
.ts 20 the Sulfonamide prepa-
lions. OF course, there are
certain conditions in which
penicillin is effective. which are
not attacked by tho sulfona-
mide compounds In addition.
penicillin is practically nontoXic
and completely safe; that IS,
unfavorable reactions 10 II do
not occur. On the other hand.
there ara. certain dangers con-
nected win the use of the sui

patient must be carefully

DIRE SIDEN Mt TRUMANS
Il press conference statement
that his predecessors efforts 10
get preparedness program
through Congress were "stifled'
has certainly made the boys on
Capitol Hill sore.
Congress resents the allega-
ton, since what preparedness
this country enjoyed at the time
of the Pearl Hafbor attack was
more owing TO the legislative
than TO the executive branch
Of the government.
In the early days Of the New
Deal the president made large
allotments to the navy under
the national industrial recovery
act. But the New Deal finally
came 10 occupy the largest
place in his affections.
There then began the prac-
tice of camouflaging the expendi-
lures, so that il became difficult
10 determine Just what was be-
ing spent on the mayor any
thing else - ecause of the
Juggling Of funds by the presi-
dent, using money appropriated
for one thing for something en-
tirely different.
THE system was described
Il by Representative Mcleod,
a member of the naval SUBJ
committee of the house appro-
priations committee. when the
S457 900 600 naval bill was pend
ing in 1885.
while these questionable
practices are tantamount TO
outright and willful deception
Of the public, IL is a deplorable
fact that they are probably
technically legal. BY no stretch
of the imagination, however,
would IL be possible for even
the most prejudiced new dealer
TO claim with accuracy and
truth that these tactics are
either morally honest or justifl-
able"
Looking back 10 1895 from
1941. we obtain better per-
Spective of our naval strength,
or rather. lack of il. during the
first Roosevelt administration.
II was brought out in debate
on the naval bill that was
passed in 1885. that every dol
lar provided under the heading
increase of the navy" was not
for additional ships, but for the
replacement Of ships.
We thought we were building
a war strength navy, but as a
matter of fact, all we were
doing was TO build a treaty
strength h navy. or a peace
strength navy.
At THIS time Mr.. Roosevelt's

did not come openly out and
disclose his true detectives.
