DailyPrayer
FOR ALL BEHIND THE FRONT

Night and day, our unvocal
hearts cry out to Thee, O Infinite
God, in behalf of our fighting men
and our Country. Now today we
pray especially for all those who
cannot fight; whose hearts are on
the battle front, but who must
serve at home. Grant them tn e
warriors joy and the warriors
peace. Teach them how vital is
their task and how sacred; and
grant them real unity in the Cause
with the fighting forces at the
front, who lean for life upon their
labors. In mill and factory and
shlpyard and on the farm may our
great army of the service of SUD-
plies glow with the ardor and de-
votlon OF those in the heat of con.
tllct. For the craven ones whose
bodies shrink from danger we
pray that Thy virile Spirit may
descend upon them and save the:r
souls before it is too late. So NAV
none of US shame Thee or one an
other in the great day ofavictory
Amen-W.T.E.

The Literary Guidep0st

er places catalouged by the author.
Lewis gives it new, fresh treat
ment, however. There are mo-
ments, if it is true, when I wish he
would stop preparing to tell his
story and tell it; moments, when
his inserted, spicy vignettes of as
sorted husbands and wives are con-
fusing; and moments when con-
versation intended to carry out the
plot gets little implausible.
On the whole, however, this is
novel worthy of the author of
Main Street" and "Babbit." Char
acters spring to life in a vivid
brilliant word or phrase. The tone
shifts from sarcastic to scathing to
savage. The writing is masculine,
and entertaining. If at times you
don't seem to be getting anywhere,
Lewis generally makes you com.
Portable while you wait.
Marriages by the dozens are held
UP to ridicule; it's dirty linen; it's
family skeletons on parade. But
marriage as an institution, if we
may judge by the ending, is right.
Lewis doubts whether we can sue
ceed at it, but wishes we'd keep
on trying. His appeal in its behalf
is even emotional-a rare trait in
this author.

The Doctor Says-
HUMAN ARTERIES
HARDEN WITH ACE.
Nv WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M 7

BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M, u.
The elastic tissue in the arterie,
which wears out as we grow older
is replaced by scar tissue, lime
and other non-elastic materials,
The vessel wall thickens and be.
comes more brittle, which NAV
cause it to plug or rupture. AL.
though hardening of the arteries
occurs in all Of US as we grow old.
er, the change does not start at
the same age or develop at the
same rate in everyone.
Slight aging changes are seen in
the arteries Of babies and through.
out childhood. As soon as we stop
growing, aging changes in the ar.
teries become more marked until
they are found in most blood YES.
sells in persons of advanced years.
Hardened arteries may carry as
much blood as ever, in some in.
stances actually more because
they are stretched and longer, but
the vessel wall lacks elastic recoil
and this interferes with the hexi.
bility of circulation.
The chief accident which occurs
in hardening of the arteries is rup.
ture. Most vital spot in the body
for rupture to occur is the brain,
where the condition is known as
apoplexy. A celebral accident"
occurs when a small or large YES.
sci in the brain is blocked or torn,
with the result apparently more
serious in the beginning than it
will be later on. If the hemorrh-
age is large or if vital spot is
affected, paralysis of the face, arm
and leg occurs. Most of us suffer
many small strokes as we grow
older without real paralysis devel.
oping.
Hardening Of the arteries results
in interference with the circulation
by narrowing the passage way.
Favorite spots for this change to
develop are the coronary arteries
of the heart, and the arteries of
the legs and feet. The circulation
tends to be less efficient in the
heart and the lower extremities as
we grow older and we should not
tax our reserve by over-exertion.
Injuries of the feet, even those
which are superficial, have less OF
a tendency to heal promptly in
older persons because Of insuffi-
cient circulation.
Difficulty in high blood pressure
occurs in the smallest arteries OF
the body which are composed chief.

stages of high blood pressure,
these small arteries develop
spasm, while in the later stages
permanent hardening occurs. Pur-
pose of these small arteries is to

crease the force of contractions,

YOUR Gl RIGHTS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Here
are some general questions from
veterans and their relatives:
@. My husband was "a years old
when he went into the Army In
1941. Now he is % and still has
two more years of college before
he can get his degree. That will
make him 80 or 81 years old be-
fore he can start looking for 3
job. Is there any provision for
speeding up his education or get
ting shorter course for him?
A. Il is possible that some of
the training he had while in the
Army would give him additional
credit toward graduation. Manv
colleges are now considering
speeded up set of courses for vet
Grams.
Q. Would it be possible for me
to go to school for year before
claiming my reinstatement RIGHTS
to the job had before / was draft.
ed?
A. No. You have to apply for
reinstatement within 80 days of
your discharge from the service,
Q. Is it true that the government
will give an American flag to the
family of a dead veteran, for drap-
ing over his casket?
A. Yes. Application must be
made to postmasters at any county
seat post office or any other post
office designated by the Veterans
Administration, or any field office
OF the Veterans Administration
The flag shall be given to the next
of kin after burial.
q. How much money does vet
eran get from the government
while he is getting vocational re-
habilitation?
A. During the training period
and for two months after employ-
ability is determined, a single per.
son receives pension at the rate Of
$40 a month, a married person 500
a month with S. month for each
dependent child and an additional
allowance of $40 a month for each
dependent parent.

will undertake to do so, because
of the custom that requires buria7

hl a payoff is made, and even
then the victim cannot be sure it

Strange to say, Shanghai actu-
ally has some legitimate, hungry
beggars. They usually can be iden-
tilted by their long stringy hair,
because the organized beggars get

Beggars Go To 7own In Shanghai
On Highly Organize Business Basis
BY RICHARD CUSHING
Substituting For Kenneth Dixol

\OuUStltutluX FOT AcnneCn DlXO0)
SHANGHAI, Oct. 2-(P- No
where in the world is begging such
a highly organized and flourishing
racket as in Shanghai, and Ameri-
cans are slowly becoming harden
ed to beggars' means and ges-
lures encountered everywhere.
Begging is done with bloodcurd-
ling walls, the display Of stubs of
amputated legs and arms, and the
merciless sacrifice of children to
extract aims from passersby.
Many cities have their beggars
but in Shanghai it's a cold, cal
culated business, actually operat-
ed under half-dozen beggar
guilds, all said to be under the
eye OF fagin-like beggar king,
reputedly one of the wealthiest
men in China.
The common belief is that these
guilds are so well-fixed financi-
ally that they hold stock in the
Shanghai Exchange and operate
much as any other business con-
cern.
They take care of their mem.
bers, providing transportation for
the legless to designated street
corners in the early morning, and
distrib ibute containers of rice
Throughout the city at noon.
Should -.beggar die, the guild
spends a good sum on an elabor.
ate funeral because that's a beg.
gar's aim in life-bowing out in
style.
Beggars are seen everywhere-in
front of the luxurious hotels and
in the filthiest slums-and are a
constant source of amazement to
American sailors and soldiers
who at first were filled with COM
passion at their artful ways to
gain a few pennies.
On many blocks, day Or night,
the pedestrian is confronted by at
least a half-dozen grovelling beg
gars who lie quivering, wailing,
rolling their eyeballs in agonized
hands for aims.
rsihel dohou lie a-ca ON
A withered or severed arm or
leg is naturally n asset in the
profession, and there are tales of
some beggars who actually had a
member amputated so as to in
crease their "take."
Most heartrending, however, is
the use of children. A deformed
child contributes to the beggar's S
curbside setting of abject misery,
while many normal ones are de-
liberately underfed for the same
purpose. Not infrequently a wo-
man may be seen sitting beside
the body OF dead child and
wailing plea for money.
Some children are taught to
CULVER and moan constantly from
early infancy.
A more Straightforward shake
down technique is that of jam
ming the entrances to churches,
hotels or residences during we'd
dings, parties or other social
events and bowling until a pay
off is made.
One frequent racket is worked
this way:
A beggar with a nonstop wall
parks at the gate of some promin-
ent household, disturbing the resi-
dents all day. The next day another
beggar goes on duty, and the next
another, until finally the houseboy
is informed that this nuisance can
be stopped with the gift Of a little
money, but that otherwise it will
continue indefinitely.
If by chance a beggar fails to
get his fancy funeral when he dies,
others make money on the body
by carrying it to doorstep and
stating the price required for re-
moving IT, The househov rara1v

Answering protests from a
