Of the day is Japan playing Little
Eva.
Yesterday the Jap was a teeth
barring, wild-eyed, snarling gorilla
man, treating slaughter as picnic
pastime; today he presents the
picture of a marcher in a daisy
chain, not even resentful that his
emperor has had to become Hiro-
milquetoast.
Yesterday the Jap was diving to
death in a one-man suicide bomb;
today he isn't even showing the will
to talk back to movie-house ushers.
The nation is taking total defeat
more calmly than thousands of DEM
ocratic communities take the loss
OF local election.
The Japs shucked their uniforms
with the eagerness of boys eager to
take a hot bath. They turned in
their weapons with less argument
than you would get from an army
Of Hollywood extras" and they
have adopted eyes" as a national
slogan without batting an eyelash.
-
Are the Nips the most philosophi-
cal people Of all time? Are they
merely the best actors of 1945? Are
they still in a coma? Or when licked
are they a race that takes a rain
check and calmly awaits the next
contest?
Never In history has q warlike
nation taken such shellacking and
then put its neck on the block with
such gushing resignation and ultra
politenesS.
OF course, there is one possible
exception: Maybe the Japanese are
willing to accept anything rather
than another closeup of Nimitz,
Halsey, Mitscher and the United
States marines.
THE DELICATESSEN DEALERS
HAD A NAME FOR 1T
The former police chief of a great
city, giving up job to appear in
crime scripts for the kiddies on the
radio, is now making crime movies
for the little dears. He will start
with the Dillinger case. We don't
blame anybody for changing jobs for
big money. And we like to see a
policemen get ahead. But it's time
somebody stripped such cases of all
the bunk about its being done to
halt Juvenile delinquency, and keep
| the kiddies straight.

End of Trail Symbolizes
Passing Of the Red Man

Raj Uses Knot

To simplify the work of its navi-
gators, the Royal Air Force now
uses the knot, or nautical mile per
hour, as it's official measure OF
speed, because its charts, like
those Of all other military flying
forces, employ the Mercator pro-
lection in which distances are
measured in nautical miles.

Rich Prankster Tried to
Win Prize With Sill Nag

Probably no American ever
spent as much time and money
playing pranks as did Brian G..
Hughes, a wealthy New Yorker
who died in 1924. Of his scores of
practical jokes, all succeeded but
one: an attempt to win a prize at
a Madison Square Garden horse
show in the 190Os with a nag he
had bought for $11. Noticing that
the animal would not move until
its rider jingled a little bell in it's
ear, the judges became suspicious
and questioned Hughes, and he
confessed trying to fool them with
this horse which he had purchased
from a streetcar company and
named Orphan Puldeca Gotten
pulled a carr.

pork eaters than beef eaters, says a
recent survey made by the govern
ment, but that will have to change
at least for this year. Pork loins,
hams, shoulders, spareribs and ba-
con will continue to be scarce. The
higher grades of beef are going to
the armed forces, while lower grades
of beef, though not abundant, will be
more abundant. Veal supplies are
quite scarce as are the top grades
of lamb.
There are good ways to stretch
meat old-fashioned ways like
dumplings, bread dressings and
stuffings, rice, macaroni, noodles and
spaghetti. For those of you who
choose having meat "as is" in your
menus, there are delightful fish
dishes to fill in the days when meat
is unobtainable.

Death Rate of Prisoners of
War Reported Dropping

NEW YORK, N. Y. - John F.
Cotton, assistant director of relief
to "a prisoners service of the
American Red Cross, said that the
death rate among American service
men held by the Japanese "has de-
clined" in the last year.
Cotton told approximately 300
relatives of American war prison
ers that "42 of 600 prisoners died in
eight months" at a single camp in
1928, "but from August, 1913, to
August of this year, only IL of the
remainder have died"
He said that the Japanese were
believed to have 10000 American
prisoners, including 5000 civilians
and that several thousand still were
held in the Philippines. Cotton said
that medical supplies were limited
in most camps.

NaturaliZed
Americans" Is Topic
At Meeting Of Club

Many natives of other countries
who have become American citizens
have contributed greatly to Ameri-
can arts, sciences and philosophy
and have added to the sum total of
society's wealth. This was the CEN
trail thought of a program present.
ed Monday afternoon at a meeting
of the Laurel Woman's club by
Mrs. J.. o. Void under topic of
@'Famous Naturalized Americans"
She cited and spoke of a number
of Americans who were born IN
other countries and later contributed
to the greatness of their adopted
nation.
The club meeting was at Mrs.
Harry Penninger's home. Roll call
were current events. At
the business meeting Mrs. Marion
Crawford and Mrs. R. j. Rosselot
were elected delegates to the
ty federation meeting Feb. 8 in Bill
lings. Mrs. J. o. Void and Mrs.
S. S. Bliss wre named alternates.
Some of the foreign-born men,
toned by Mrs. Void in presenting
the afternoon program were Charles
Boyer of France; Bob Hope, an
Englishman; Irving Berlin, a Jew;
Bill Knudsen, a Dane; Jacob Riis,
Laurel outlook., 1945-01-24

q Dane; Thomas Mann; Michael
Pupin, an Hungarian inventor, and
Edward Box, a native of Holland.
Several others were included.
In some instances Mrs. Void gave
brief biographical sketches. All
were so well known that enumera-
ton of their achievements was
scarcely necessary. AS in the case
of native-born Americans who have
risen to fame the igniting sparks
were as various as the personalities.
Some sought to reform, others were
inspired by opportunity. In each
instance the diversity of environ
ment was well suited to stimulate
either by harmony or contact, or by
degree of color between.
