educated people is that they do not have wisdom. They have book learning but not wisdom. They have failed to learn certain basic facts which are essential. It is to the unlearned with open hearts and minds that God so often tells his secrets and gives his peace.
 God chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise the weak things to confound the mighty.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS What, No Candy?

No doubt natives of countries where your friend Weston Price found such fine teeth do not use toothbrushes, but aren't you as- suming a great deal when you say that negligence accounts for their fine teeth? They probably do not eat candy. (W. c. JD
 You. not I, assume too much brother. I have never imagined or intentionally implied that brushing the teeth does any harm or that not brushing the teeth does any 1 good. If Dr. Weston A.

CITY SONG

 When the Maryland Senator arrived in the Philippines he stated publicly that he expected to remain about a month. He planned to make thorough sur- vey of the entire Philippine econ- omic and political picture for the purpose of making an important report to Congress. The Senator even indicated that it might take five weeks instead of four to do the job.
 But after Tydings conferred with Macarthur, he suddenly told his mission that they would not need to remain more than a few days Before a week was up, they departed.
 While Tydings kept very mum as to what Macarthur told him which caused such an abrupt re- versal of plans. he did tell some of his advisers about MacArthur's remarks regarding another Sena- torial mission. Tydings had in- formed Macarthur that another group of Senators, chiefly mem- bers of his Insular Affairs Con- mittee, were coming to the Philip pines later in the summer-Brew- ster of Maine. Ellender of Dou,si- ana, Chavez of New Mexico, But Ter of Nebraska, and Hart of Con- necticut.
 Macarthur looked very sour when Tydings broke this news, and remarked:
 Well, if they want to come, I suppose I can't stop them."
 However, Macarthur has not hesitated to stop several high ranking U. S. generals from even stepping foot on Luzon, includ- ing Gen. Norman Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army. who wanted to inspect hospitals and study tropical diseases; and also Lieut. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory, the Quartermaster General of the Army. Both were in nearby Leyte, but Macarthur flatly re- fused to let them set foot on Luzon.
 PHILIPPINE FIGHTING INCREASES
 MacArthur's inhospitable atti- tude toward all visitors has caused speculation regarding reports that the Philippine war is not going as well as official communiques indicate
 Last week, for instance. it was officially revealed for the first time that MacArthur's forces had only just taken Santa Ines. This town is B miles from Ma nila and much too close for comfort, especially since it con- trOls the watershed reservation for the city.
 Also it is not generally realized that fighting still continues even on Leyte, where Macarthur landed last October. Last week. however, Gen. Robert Eichelber- ger, U. s. Commander on Leyte, disclosed that he still faced fierce opposition, and described Leyte as the greatest reservoir of Japan csc in the Philippines"
 Meanwhile, the Japs are re- ported to have landed reinforce ments in Northern Luzon from adjacent Formosa, and a long bloody battle may be necessary before this main island of the Philippin; group is finally cleaned up.

like you to read some excerpts
from his letter:
"Well, we entered the Jap is
land of Formosa to rescue l..
200 Americans and British pris'
oners Of war. 1t was quite ar
ordeal, being that we were the
first American ships to enter 9
port of that island in 20 years
It wasn't occupied yet and the
Japs were still fully armed.
Four DE's of our division
risked going through a mined
harbor where we shelled two
mines that were in our course.
II didn't look or seem danger
Gus to me until the ship tied
up. We found the Japs fully
armed with swords and rifles,
and we also noticed the huge
shore guns trained on our
ships.
The daily monitor leader., 1945-10-04

"They could have blown us
out of the water and we could
have done nothing about it. But
we also found out that they were
plenty afraid of us. They didn't
bother us in the least, but l
didn't feel very safe walking
around so many Japs.
"They tried to act very nice
to US, but we didn't pay any
attention to them even when
they saluted US and tried to
shake our hands.
1T made me very happy to see
the boys come in on the train.
They had been in the prison
camps for three and one-half
years and they were a pitiful
sight physically but spiritu-
ally they were the happiest men
in the world.
"When they saw US they
wept they were SO glad.
There were 10 stretcher cases
of men who were too sick or
weak to walk. When l was
carrying those stretchers I
could hardly believe a normal
man could weigh so little.
They were merely skin and
bones and not much of that.
We took aboard 180 prisoners,
and with 230 of our own crew
we were pretty crowded. since
out ship is normally supposed
to hold 180 men.
II didn't think human be-
ings could get so close to being
dead and still be able to smile:
They were too weak to talk,
but the great majority of them
tried to say plenty. could
write you a book on the stories
they told me of how cruel
they had been treated.
'I've seen them eat their first
bread, butter and meat in three
and half years. One man sat
right down and ate eight slices
of bread and about 40 boiled
eggs without stopping. We fed
them like kings and went with
out ourselves.
"They also saw their first
movie and heard their first
music in about four years
(since the fighting started in
the Philippines in 194D. The
Japs handn't allowed them any
entertainment, or allowed any
Red Cross packages. They said
the Japs would open the boxes,
eat the contents and smoke
the American cigarettes in
front of them.

average of l3 men died a day
from starvation and exhaustion.
"There were 30 men on the
verge of death when we made
port, and when they heard
about il their strength picked
up just from being hopeful.
The last three weeks the Japs
were killing them off as fast
as they could by sending
small group of men at a time
up a hill and working them
till they died."
