along the street is an example of the tyranny which habit can some- times impose upon men. He is an extreme example, of colhse, but there are many others who perhaps consider themselves not at all the slaves of habit but who are not able to say No to themselves in a hundred things that really matter.
 Temper, laziness, petty lying, pro- crastination-these are habits which mar many life, and the baser pas- sions which ruin are tragic warn ings of the power which little evil habits may develop.

One of the newest Librty ships to be launched will be named for Alfred E. Smith, the date scheduled is January l5. A unique thing about this particular ship is that some of the stone from the old Smith home, Oliver Street, New York, an l8-inch square of flagstone, will be removed from the immediate areaway. All will agree taht this is a suitable gesture.

"Why don't one of you take Phil?" cOuntered the boss team Ster.
 "There's a very gOdO reason why I'll never be Secretary of Labor" shot back Murray. Be cauSet he AFL would never have me-"
 Green pointed out that the same thing applied to him regard ing his rival the CIO.
 Nothing more came of the White House conversation, and Miss Perkins conversation, and she has said flatly that she will not continue, and there have ben some definite indications the President would like to appoint Tobin. This time, however, the teamster's chief is not at all en- thusiastic. Being older, he sees a lot of hadachs ahad. So Il has told friends that he will not be Secreatry If Labor.

But even at five bucks a throw, Ramspeck could hardly offer special invitations to meet the Pres ident, as the Thousand Club did.

THE 7STH CONGRESS
(Hartford Courant)

Despite the quantity of legislation passed by the last Congress when the 79th Congress conVenes in Washington on Wednesday, it will be faced with variety of problems growing out of the war. Some of these will relate to the actual con- duct of the war and planning the peace to follow while others will be purely domestic in character, as, for example. the readjustment of the tax structure. It is also quite likely that Congress will consider an ex- pansion Of the Social Security pro- gram in accordance with . cradle

U. s. UPSETS THEORIES ON WAR BABIES


 Katharine P. Lenroot, chief of the Children's Bureau in the Depart ment of Labor, has some new statis- tics on babies which discount one of the oldest ideas about the destruc- tivenesS and the deteriorating in- fiuence of war on nations popula- tion. The United States 1t seems, is upsetting all the established theories. The old idea was that in wartime the best physical speci- mems of manhood were taken into the army, leaving the physically less-fit to propagate the race. So far as the United States is concerned, it's not true at all, for births of the wives of soldiers have thus far been greater than the deaths of U. s. men in the armed services. Tn l944 there were more than 300,00O sons and daughters born to the wives of the nations fighting men, while bat tie deaths for the year will total approximately half that. Miss Lem root knows about this birth bus mess because she administers the federal government Emergency Ma ternity ard Infant Care program under which Uncle Sam foots the stork bill for servicemen of the three lowest pay grades. In addition to 370,000 babies already brought in- to the world under this program, Miss Lenroot has another 100000 srvice mems wives expecting, and she is adding to the list at the rate of about 10000 new cases a month.

 SUGGESTED IN 1943
 Then in 1943, about a year and a half ago, the same Cabinet post once again was dangled be- fore his eyes. Tobin, AFL presi- dent Green, and CIO president Phil Murray were calling on Roosevelt aboutt he muddled la btr situation, when he pulled out of his desk letter of resignaitn from Miss Perkins which she had submitted in 1941 just before Roosevelt was inauguratcd Sr a third term.
 "Find me someone to take her place." the President said, "and I'll appoint him."
 Then he suggested that one of the thrc lapor leaders present should be Secretary If Labor.
 Afarte the three got back to their hotel, Green and Murray asked TObin: "Why don't you take it. We'll support yOu?"

THE SILENT SERVICE DOES NOTABLE JOB

Secretary of the Navy James V, Forrestal practically apologized be- cause he couldn't tell more about operations of U. s. submarines when he announced the latest tab- ulation of Japanese ships sunk by the silent service in the Pacific. Twenty eight U. s. submarines have been reported missing and presum- ed to be lost since Pearl Harbor, with six more known to have been sunk. In the same time U. s. sub marines have sunk 99 Japanese combat ships and 835 non-combat ships. Details of the pig boat ex- ploits in piling up this impressive total must remain until till the war is over, and the deeds of submarine heroes must go without public recognition. For as one lieutenant exprssed it to Secretary Forrestal, "I'd rather be alive anonymous than a dead hero"

PROFESSIONAL CLUB
 SETTLERS NOW UNIONIZED

You may never have heard of it. but the professional luncheon club spielers, the takers to ladies so- cieties and assorted lecturers for general cultural improvement, now have union. It's known as the Platform Guild. About a hundred members of the Guild had a lunch con meeting in a Washington hotel the other day, but not for the pur- pose of hearing each other talk, as you might imagine. Instead, only one member of the Guild was al- lowed to talk. That was Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde, who merely acknow- ledged the welcome of the principal speaker at the luncheon, Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr, He and about dozen of his prin- cipal assistants were there to lecture to the lecturers on what Dumbarton Oaks and the U. s. foreign policy are all about. And though the pro- fessional lecturers didn't get to say anything at their luncheon, now that they know all the answers they'll be glad to come to your luncheon and tell you about it. Fol fee, of course.

Tribute to the volunteer service
of about 100 patriotic women who.

Prop Wash
BY MEARES HARRISS

Once an expeimenter built hol-
low metal sphere on the periphery
of which were two opposed curved
jets. The sphere was supported
upon an axis so that the globe
might turn. Then, by means OF
heat and water, steam was genera
ted and as the steam came out of
the jets, the globe slowly revolved.
The experimenter was Hero, of
Alexander, and the date was $50
E. C.
The basic principle demonstra-
ted is the same as that upon which
the jet propulsion planes announc-
ed by the British and American
governments in early 1914 utilized.
In the aeolpile, as Hero called his
device, steam rushing from the
jets caused a reaction against the
outside air. This is jet propulsion
in its simplest form.
Many other inventors tried to
move various devices with jet
propulsion but it remained for the
Italians to first succeed in flying
with this motive power. In 1910,
the Campinio-Caproni aviation in
terests succeeded in getting a jet
propelled plane into the air and
made flight from Milan to Rome,
approximately 200 miles at the dis
appointingly slow speed OF $50
miles per hour. In 1912, the first
American model was flown, power
ed by an engine invented by Raj.
Captain Frank White, in 1886.
Since then developments have hit
a rapid stride and now speeds OF
700 miles an hour and over are
freely predicted by experts.
