If 1t were not tragic.
There are some dissenters to the
general gloom. Various expert cor
respondents cling to the optimistic
opinion that firmness on the part
Of America and Britain must result
in Russian retreat. Members of
UNRRA missions to Russia who
have had unusual opportunities to
pierce the iron curtain don't admit
discouragement.
Their temperate view Is based
upon what they have seen. They do
not. believe Russia can wage war
now. Multiply any devastation you
ever saw by five and you get what
Germany did to Russia, they say.
They insist Russians like Americans
and appreciate UNRRA aid. Some
what unjustly UNRRA is all-Amer-
ican to Russians. Her press and
radio don't discuss the awkward sub
ject, preferring to dwell on capital
lst lnlqultleS at Paris, so the Rus
slams draw their conclusions from

supplies, most of which come from

ever, that Russian policy is not made

Tt is fair to say that in the ex-

matter much whether the next war
is launched across the top Of the

thing that matters is whether it is

than how to prevent it. Which is

How do I know?
Did Q little bird tell me? Did I

No. No, sir, none of these things
happened.
I base my prediction solely on the
behavior of hotel clerks and others

can now reveal, for the first time,
that hotel clerks started preparing
for the second World War only a
few months after World War I had
ended. From the time the armistice
was signed in 1918, until the Japs
hoped us at Pearl Harbor In 1941,
hotel clerks prepared for the next
war. During the lunch hour they
sharpened their teeth. At off mo-
ments they retreated behind the
mail rack and practiced snarling.
Hotel managers engaged in full
dress Scrimmages to learn how to
disappear when old customers came
in. As a result, when the last war
broke out, they were tuned to the
pink for the insult.
This is not happening today. A
man can walk into hotel and
odds are no worse than even money
that he will come out alive. On
my way to Toledo l spent two nights
in hotels and was shocked, as
founded, bewildered, and almost
overcome by the treatment I re-
ceived when standing before the
desk.
In Lexington, KY, a clerk said,

ness. and attention to extra de-
tails"

same help I got the first time ]

So, you see. no war is imminent.
If 1t were, this Lexington clerk,
along with his brothers all over the
country. would be prepping in abuse

to be in top form when the bugles
blew.
Gas Station Tip-off.
Filling stations provide another
tip-off that Stain and Uncle Sam
won't hit the mat for quite spell.
A man can go in filling station
these days and actually get his
windshield wiped without asking for
such service. There was time. not
long ago, when he couldn't even get
a wet rag and the right to get out
and wash off the dirt himself. The
same goes for checking tires. I
remember, only recently. asking an
attendant, who was lolling in a
wicker rocker, if I could get my tires
checked.
"Over there" he said, pointing TO
a hose and compressor
Gould I get one CT those ther-
mometers to see what is in my tires
now?" I asked.
Amt got one, Bud" he said.
You'll have to guess"
Yes, the outlook is rosy. Let Tito
growl. Let Stain howl There1l
be no war for many years.
Those who serve the public aren't
ready, and as we all know, a war
can't be fought until those who stay
behind are in a nastier mood than
the soldiers.

@. Why are doilies fastened on
chair backs called antimacassars :?
ID. J.
A. Macassar oil was the trade
name for a greasy hair tonic used in
Imid-Victorian times. Leaning back
in a comfortable chair easily caused
a transfer to the upholstery, hence
the use of a protective dolly.
@. Will a sheep fight2-W. R. S.
A. Sheep are very timid and
usually flee at the approach of dan
ger, but ewes frequently charge dogs
that threaten lambs.
| @. Is the appearance of the native
Okinawans similar to the Japanese?
IN. B.
A. The Okinawans are generally
shorter, more hirsute and have a
heavier body build than the jap
anese.

A. Greer Carson was born at
County Down, Fire. Maria Palmer

mately 622 A. D. Since the Moham-
medan year is becoming shorter the
All dates are not exactly 622 years

@. Did jiu-jitsu originated in
Japan? Tell something of the meth
ods used.-H. N. o.
A. Jiu-j -jitsu was introduced into
Japan from China. A thorough
knowledge of anatomy is necessary
since more depends upon blows in
sensitive spots than upon sheer
strength. These particular spots in
clude the funny bone in the elbow,
solar plexus, Adams apple. An ef-
fort may be made to induce the op-
ponent to strain himself or fracture
his own bones. In athletic competi-
ton the one in danger of injury taps
the floor with his hand or foot to
admit defeat.
@. What is a platypus?-C. r. F..
Jc 1r~ g.,
coated, web-footed aquatic mammal
about 20 inches long. A native of
Australia, the platypus lays two eggs,
matches these like a chicken, then
nurses the young like a COW.
@. Did the U. S. S. Potomac have
any part in the meeting between
President Roosevelt and Premier
Churchill at sea in 1941?-B.
A. In his meeting at sea with Win
ston Churchill In August, 1941, Presi-
dent Roosevelt went to the U. S. s.
Augusta in the presidential yacht
Potomac and returned from the
cruise and to the shores of the
United States in the same way.

The best defense being the offense
we'd be sending our strategic all
force over "the top" If we are
merely on the verge of war with
Russia-well, as the general also
said. ANY plan or buildup for ma
tional defense which ignores the

Is a sheer waste of American time
and money" The general did not

but he clearly is thinking of some
thing other than digging defenses

was devoted to the necessity of de-
veloping our air forces and giving
them equal status with the land
and sea forces.
Offensive Defense.
It is reasonable to suppose that
Russias military minds have the
same picture of the scene of the
next great clash. If there is to be
one, and that they are urging the
same sort of preparations on the
part of their own country. AS they
advance their plans for offensive de-
fense we will advance ours. As we
advance ours they will advance
theirs. 1t will be an expensive busi-
ness for both sides and sooner or
later one side will get the notion
that it might be less expensive to
start fighting.
The urge to do this might grow
more rapidly in this country than
in Russia, because we have some
thing that Russia now lacks, some
thing that really does leave every
other country wide open at the
top" The atomic bomb.
Actually, we have no knowledge of
what Russia is thinking and plan
ming in connection with the polar
frontier We have suspicious, as
many doubtless as Russia has con-
corning our purposes. Both coun-
tries are keeping the air filled with
those suspicious. Both sides are
working themselves into state cal
culated to bring on the war that
neither can really want We cannot
control the aggressive voices in Rus
sia, but we can ask some of our
own to pipe down for awhile.
Macarthur Outburst.
For one, there is the supreme COM
mander in Japan. Just why he
should have chosen this nervous
moment for goosing group of gull
lible Congress members into an out
burst against Russia, is hard to
understand. Likewise hard to under
stand Is his publicly expressed fear
that 'fmpinging ideologies" are
threatening to interfere with the
MacArthurization of Japan and Gre
ating danger of Japan becoming "a
springboard for war"
Even the State Department, so 1t
is reported, was annoyed by this
gratuitous provocation, being able
to anticipate the Russian reaction
