STATE LEGISLATURE SCANS
TARDY STATUTE

The Assembly in session at Sacramen-
to has before it a measure which many
states have had on their statute books
many years. 1t relates to relieving an
automobile driver of his permit upon
conviction of drunken driving. 1t would
appear none too severe as repeatedly
worded.
Under the proposed bill first time Of
tenders would be permitted to drive with
a probationary" permit to be in force
for one year, second time offenders
would lose their licenses for 80 days
while third-time violator would have
his permit cancelled for three years.
There appears too much margin be-
tween first and third violations. If 1t Is
intended to produce salutary effect,
then why not deprive the first offender
wholly of his permit for a given period,
rather than merely make it precaution-
ary? Coming into the second offense
bracket, or the third, either 80 days Is
too slight a penalty or three years too
heavy. In many states the initial punish
ment is more severe and calculated to do
what such statutes are supposed to do
effect a cure.
Also in other states records of convlc-
ton automatically carry suspension
penalty when certified to the licensing
authorities

"HOMESIDE READJUSTMENT"

christian Science Monltor)
There is a growing uneasiness among
those close to the readjustment problem
of the returning veterans which calls Tor
prompt recognition.
The source of this feeling is not to be
found in the provisions of the Service
mans REIMBURSEMENT Act of 1944-the
G.I. Bill of Rights-With its broad pro-
gram for rehabilitation through hospl-
taliZatiOn, education. loans and unem-
ployment benefits. The Army, Navy,
Marine Corps and Coast Guard, with their
newly functioning separation and ADJUST
ment divisions are sounding note OF
helpfulnesS.
No-the framework of readJustment as
provided by law and regulation is ample,
in fact more than ample in the opinion of
MANY. AS a Nation, the United States
has marched far from the land-grant
benefits given to the ragged Continentals
mustered out after the Revolution. There
is no evidence of "hurdy-gurdies' being
handed out by befuddled Government
such as were given the blue-clad veterans
of Bull Run and Gettysburg. And "ap-
ple-selling" such as the doughboys from
Belleau Woods and the ArgOnne were
reduced to after World War | is definite
" not a postwar probability for todayS
G.I'S.
Where, then, shall we look for the
cause of this feeling-noW no larger than
a spot on the peacetime horizon? Right
in our own mirror. We-the families of
our servicemen-are causing this vague
but growing feeling of uneaslneSS among
those studying the readjustment prob
lem.
Farsighted, experienced observers call
now for a 'homeside readiustment. Too
much they say. has been emphasized
about readjusting the fighting men. Incl
dents of Naval veterans removing their
combat ribbons to avoid ill-advised ques-
tioning, and of infantrymen from the
Italian front taking off their honored
shoulder patches to escape thoughtlesS
inquiries are straws in the wind Let the
family circle make a more thoughtful
effort to get into harmony with the G.l.'s.
1t is the wartime duty of us all to
search deeply into our motives as we
eagerly step forth to help in the great
opportunities of readjustment. Let there
be no unwise probing into combat-packed
hours. Let the Golden Rule guide our
every step and temper our grateful en-
thuSiaSm.
Naturally enough we can find our re-
adjustment guide in the Bible. Can we
not turn as did Solomon when he was
called on to face great problems and
great opportunities and ask for IAN un-
derstanding heart?' That might we'll be
the start for "homeside readjustment.'

to the effect that a dearth of clothing

Lest this estimate of the potential move

one is so old-fashioned or narrow as to
call for a ban on overalls and slacks. 1t

where women work in war plants and
other factories, overalls are far safer
than skirts. Indeed, that type OF dress

And many will grant the concession

their advantages.

War in its most terrible aspect now
has come to Germany, and the longer the
Nazis hold out the more terrible it will be.
The German people are being taught
the costly lesson that they cannot start
wars recklessly and wantonly with i'm
munity to their homeland and their loved
ones.
They will know henceforth that few
hours after declaration of war enemy
warplanes will be over their cities and
homes, regardless of the rosy promises
of their leaders to the contrary.
The idea that one way to insure peace
is to make war so devastating no nation
ever will start trouble is now new. But
perhaps the bombs dropped from the
Allied planes and the cannonading to the
west and the east are what is needed to
impress this truth upon the German peo-
pie.

her chin level. It's letting the head droop forward like willing sun flower that encourages aging wrin- kles to make their unattractive ap- pearance around the throat.
 Your neck, from the tip of the chin to the base Of the throat, should receive the same creaming and soap and water treatment that the face does. Women with dry skins or those who are over 30. may find their throats need additional gentle massage. Stroke cream in, ever so lightly, upward and outward over the surface, pat it in with the finger tips, but throw your head back so every inch will get the benefits.
 Cold water, icy and bracing, should be dashed on after each cleansing. Astringent in effect, it will star up circulation. Finish by batting the chin briskly with the back of the hand to discourage any tendency toward a double chin.
