MONOGRAPH NEEDLES

In a preliminary report on phono- graph needles, Consumer Reports rates seven brands of permanent needles on the basis of extensive lab oratory tests. The report follows a years work by the Consumers Union technical staff on the development of methods of setts to determine: CD relative wear on the records caused by the different needles, (2) relative merit with respect to tone reproduc- tion, (3) the number of records each needle can play. Wear on records was considered the most important factor in the ratings.

INDIGESTION

The cause of indigestion is more likely to be in your mind than in your stomach, says Dr. Harold Aaron, Consumers Union medical adviser, in Consumers Reports. While indigestion is sometimes caused by physical ailments or by foods that ''don't agree with you,'' worry, anger and other emotional disturbances are responsible for most lOng-cOntinued digestive com. plaints.

Northwest Shipyards

The shameful story of what is happening
in Northwest ,shipyards is told by AL Lake. la.

Of the American Mercury.
Workers in these yards, he reports, sloaf
get drunk and potter as they wish, defying
management to fire them They have gone
their own sweet way about their jobs, largely
ignoring the pleadings and admonitions of the
bosses; asking only to be left alone to dawdle
through their days.
Mr.. Lake substantiates his report with
specific instances which, he says, are typical
Of the attitude of the majority of the workers
In the Northwest shipyards. He throws con.
siderable light on the reasons why the govern.
ment has to advertise for workers in order to
keep ship production at the level needed to
prosecute the war.
He also points out that management is
tired, gloomy about the future.

Daily Prayer
FOR UNITY IN SACRIFICE

We do not know we cannot
imagine-all the forms of sacrl-
flee and suffering that are being
endured in this war. We only cry
to Thee, O Christ Of the broken
heart that we may be sharers in the
worlds ordeal, and Thine. For
bid that while mankind weeps our
eyes should be dry; or that while
our brothers are wrapt in pain we
should be engrcssed in pleasure.
We contemplate the agony of God
over this world woe, and yearn for
a divine mood in our own hearts.
We would be partakers of the fell
lowship of suffering that fills the
world. With contrition we confess
the sin of our carelessness, our
smallness and our selfishness.
Quicken our imaginations. we
plead, that in spirit we may stand
before our men in action, and be-
side their lonely dear ones at home.
Teach us to be a part of the world
wide unity of sacrifice, in spirit
and in deed. Thus would be draw

My father and my Aunt Mary

outside the little town of Dana.
They have repapered the house
and rearranged the furniture, and
they are very comfortable.
My father still limps from his
hip fracture of a year ago. And
his eyes are very bad now, and
he can't see to read. But he gets
around all right, and even drives
the car to town now and then.
We think he shouldn't be driving,
but every time Aunt M r y

gets in the car and drives to
town, so she's stopped mention

My Dad listens lot to the ra-

night, and last summer he even
helped some with the harvesting

SAN FRANCISCO. - Some OF
you oldtime readers who've hung
on faithfully to this column for
years, might like to know how
some of my personal affairs are
getting along, since I've always
worn all the family intimacies
on my sleeve.
Take our little dog for instance
-"Cheetah." When l got home
she was in the midst of a roman
tic spell, and had lot of strange
men-dogs whom I've never met
hanging around outside the picket
fence.
But the romantic business has
passed, and now she's as quiet
and lazy as an old woman. She
never banks, never makes any
trouble, and is always full of that
most gracious of all dog gifts
affection for her masters. The
little Shepherd is earning her way
into Dog heaven by perpetual
good conduct.
Or take That Girl" whom you
used to read so much about be-
fore the war, and who for all those
long years of peacetime travel
ing, rode beside me.
l haven't written much about
her in recent years, because 1
haven't seen much of her. The
war has done the same thing to
us that it has to millions of others.
In the last four years, we have
been together only on these little
exclusion trips to America.
She has kept the hearth in Al
buquerque-kept it under difficult
ties. she has been burdened by
recurring illnesses, and had to
revolve between home and hos
pital. But she has succeeded in
keeping the little white house just
as it always was, which she knew
is what 1 would want.
She is back there now, trying
to cope with the prospect of an
other year alone. She is still, by
remote control, my guiding star.
She thinks everything do is
wonderful. She even thinks I'm
beautiful, which is the only flaw
in ner judgment.
She lives only for the day when
war is over and we can have a
life together again. And that's
what 1 live for too, for life to a
man isn't much good without
This woman" and after 20 years
that's what That Girl still is
to me. 1 hope we both last
through until the sun shines in
the world again.

A Forgotten Ally

France is back in the war; Her soldiers are
fighting with ours and Britain's, and there
will be many more of them as soon as they
have been scorched by battle. Her ports and
railroads and highways form the chief supply
lines for the western attack on Germany.
France is willing to do her part now, and
to carry her full share of policing. Germany
after the war. But France was not included
in the Big Three conference which mapped
the course of the defeat surrender and i'm.
mediate disposition of the dangerous neighboi
who has caused her to suffer SO often and so
bitterly.
All these things and more, General de
Gaulle pointed out in an address which, though
perhaps not model of diplomacy, carried a
full measure of logic and justice.
1t is difficult to determine why the French
leader was not invited to meet with the Ameri-
can, British and Russian heads of government
All three of them have recognized the pro-
visional government of which he is chief
Certainly the Big Three could not have
thought that the future of Germany did not
concern France. By the evidence of history
and geography, France is more anxiously con-
cerned than any of the three great powers at
war with Hitlers Third Reich
Naturally, then, the head of the French
state could not do less than announce that he
would not be bound by decisions and agree
ments in which he was not consulted And
naturally he felt it time to advise the world
OF his countrys wishes in the formation of
postwar Europe in which she hopes to regain
her former standing
France will unquestionably have to go
along with the Big Three's general decisions,
Whatever they are And General de Gaulle
gave no indication that he had lost interest
in eventually taking his country into the world
security organization outlined at Dunbarton
Oaks
Nevertheless the snub that he has receiv-
ed places another obstacle in the path of in
ternational unity. 1t has forced the general to
postpone until we shall have recovered full
whoehearted cooperation in the effort toward
world peace It has probably aggravated a
distrustful feeling which may take the shane
of a set of separate backstop alliances be-
tween France and her neighbors.
And the snub can scarcely fail TO suooest
to General de Gaulle and his countrymen that
the Big Three already consider France a
minor power and intend to keep her so. The
effect of that inference promises to comnlicate
further the difficult problems of world agree
ment
