ct TOW long must we put up
with my husbands post
L L war establishment and
discontent?" writes Mrs. Harry
King of Chicago. ''He came
back four months ago, and after
the first delight at having him
home again, honorably dis
charged, it has been nothing but
difficulty and gloom. He was
always a well-balanced man, af-
fectionate, steady and content
ed. He is now nervous, critical,
or-worse than all darkly silent
for hours. He has gone back in
to his old firm of claim adjust
ers, and is making good money,
with good prospects ahead. But
l can't stand this sort of home
life much longer. No harmony,
no conversation, no plans, no
fun. He is So, am 80; our
daughters are S and 8.
Harry wants to give up our COM
i Portable apartment, where have a
part-time maid, break up all our
pleasant associations, upset the
girls chooling-they 60 to all-day
nursery schools-and move to the
country. He has his eye on sprawl
ing farm IS miles out, house in bad
repair, So acres partly cultivated,
tenant house of three rooms-the
farmhouse has about seven rooms,
electric light fixtures and plumbing
40 years old, and everything imagi-
nable in the way of refrigerator,
telephone, gas stove, linoleums,
curtaining, painting, yet to be done.
Here he proposes we live for years
perhaps forever. I adore my hus-
band, I have not loved any other
man since met him, at 20, but
do you think it wise to pull up all
our roots simply because he has been
emotionally and nervously upset by
the war? Won't he outgrow this in
time? Wouldn't it be wiser to wait,
for the girls sake and for all our
sakeS?"
My answer to this is, my dear

of thinking that this fearful war,
some Of whose phases have ended, is
like any other war that ever was.
After peace negotiations with the
powers of savagery and lawlessness
are signed, sealed and delivered, we
still have titanic job ahead of us
service folk and civilians alike. This
postwar job will not only be to pre-
serve world peace, it will be to pre-
serve world sanity.
A Shattered World.
1t will not be only to keep a few
hundred thousand depressed and
mentally affected men sane; it will
be to keep US all sane. This war
has bitten too deep into the equilib-
rum of humanity; too much that
is unthinkable and unbearable has
happened. Europe will be peopled
by millions of folk who have
known what it was for weeks,
months, years-to be homeless, hun
cry, desperate. The sacred thing
that is a mans right to work, to
love, to serve his family, to build
his home-has been outraged and
destroyed.
Barren wastes of ashes and ruins
will be YEARLY searched and
combed by vaguely wandering
hordes - children whose first ex-
perience of life was fright, fear,
hunger. Women who have looked
upon death, death in the mass,

The War Production Board today
removed all restrictions on the use
of natural gas and gas-burning

President Orders
Overtime Wages
|For AUGUST 1915

President Truman today issued an
executive order providing that
workers in plants handling war
contracts who were on the Job last
Wednesday and Thursday should be
paid at the rate Of time and one half.
The order was necessitated by
confusion that arose from an execu-
tive order granting war workers
overtime for ''V-J day." which was
interpreted by White House state
ment as applying to two-day holi-
day decreed by President Truman
Tor Government workers on the
two-day holiday following the Jap
anese surrender.
A later statement by the White
House said the first one was in error

Quoted psychological war against

the liberals to throw off their yoke.
Having lived almost five years in
Japan and studied it's history, cul-

masses bt we'd they were winning
the war up until the day of the
Emperor's surrender proclamation.
The sudden shock of falling idols,
he believes, may create a wave of
mass hysteria. This should be short
lived and followed by a reaction of
relief from feudal tyranny. Given
opportunity, the colonel said, the
Japanese will be obedient to the
nth degree, scrupulously polite and
law abiding when the army of oc-
cupation arrives.
