WE ARE ALL ALIKE
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher
After all, everybody is alike.

After all, everybody is alike.
We spend much time and thought
on cultivating our differences. Ev-
cry nation thinks that it is super
ior to every other nation. Every
man thinks that his cause is differ
ent from that of every other man.
And yet we are all alike in many
things.
We share many of the brute
characteristics. We are hungry, and
sleepy and thirsty, courageous or
cowardly, just as the beasts are.
Our hair rises and our blood curd-
les with fear. We have the same
sex instincts that they have.
In addition to this all men have
the same or similar hopes and
fears.
All men want to get on and have
the same dread of failure.
The same emotions are instinct
lively in the Chinese and the Arab,
the japanese and the Europeans,
that are found in ourselves.
There is very little in any of us
that is very distinctively his own.
We are all born of a woman and
sooner or later must lie down in
our grave.
During this short interval of time,
every busom is swept by similar
ambitions and fears.
Progress is made by the slow ac-
emulation of virtue in the race
and is not handed on to us by the
individual.
Here and there some man seems
to be superior to his fellows, but
he, in turn, must lay down his bur-
den and take his place with the si-
lent majority.
The one thing that is uniform
and persists on earth without pause
. is humanity.
Gradually civilization irons out
the differences between man and
reduces them to a common level.
That man is the most valuable to
humanity who does the most to
serve it. A mans final worth is es-
timated by the value he has been to
his race.
"The tallest and the smallest
among u.s." says Thackeray, "are
so alike diminutive and pitifully
base, it is meanness to calculate the
difference"

Lee H. Poe has been appointed
Division Manager of the Central
Arizona Light and Power Com
pany's newly organized Central
Division which includes the COM
pany's electric and gas service area
in the Phoenix and Sunnyslope
Districts, according to an announce
ment made by Henry B. Sargent,
president of the utility company.
Poe was formerly superintendent
of the electric department.
The creation of the Central Di-
vision will result in better service
to customers, Sargent said, because
Poe will have complete charge of
all divisional operations and per-
Sonnel necessary to handle the SER
vice requirements of customers
within the division. Thus relieved
of day to day divisional problems,
Sargent continued, executives in
charge of various company depart
ments will be better able to handle
company-wide problems of policy,
planning and supervision.
The Central Division is the
fourth division to be set up under
the divisional operating plan, which
is under the supervision of F. T.
Fahlen, Jr., vice president in charge
of divisional operations. It has been
in the process of organization for
more than a year. The three other
divisions now operating and func-
tioning are: the Eastern Division,
comprising Scottsdale, Tempe, Gil
bert and Chandler, with Paul Bev-
lille of Chandler as division mana
ger; Western Division, which in
cludes southwestern Maricopa Co.

The second end of the semi-final

Forbid Sending
OF Lighters

TOKYO, May 16-Saccharin and
cigarette lighters and lighter flints
must not be sent in large quanti-
ties in gift parcels to Japan from
North America.
In answer to charges that relief
parcels and gift parcels had been
tempered with, Supreme Headquar-
tiers recently issued a statement de-
nying any tampering, but said that
any goods that were being sent in
in large quantities SO that they
might flood the markets would be
confiscated by the authorities.
Suggesting that all parcels are
examined, the headquarters an
nouncement specified that parcels
should not include large quantities
of saccharin, lighter flints and
lighters. These will be confiscated
if in large quantities and an ex-
planatory note enclosed whenever
confiscation took place.
This does not mean that sending
these goods in normal small guam
titles is not permitted. Only Excess
sive amounts are forbidden.

LACK OF COAL
HITS WORK in
FUJKUOKA-KEN

HAKATA, Japan. May 16-Des-
pite its lightweight coal mines,
Fukuoka Prefecture today has
GOAL shortage. reported the New
York Times this week. Factory
output, the Times says, is below
80 per cent capacity and 100000
persons are on relief.
Power is at the root of every
major difficulty" declared 1t. Col
Charles Munske of Brooklyn, who
is the head of the Fukuoka Mi
litary Government team. 1T is
even affecting our crop collections.
BY Monday our Prefectural rice
collections were 5,172,000 bushels,
about II per cent below our quota.
"The principal reason for the
tagging deliveries from the farms
is the fact that the Government
is falling down on supplying in
centive goods such as farm tools
fertilizers and rubber fOOtwears.
Fukuoka is the greatest producer
of every single one of these items.
Even at home we cannot get
them. We haven't enough power to
produce enough to meet the Gov
ernments needs, and it takes too
much for use elsewhere.
with incentive goods failing,
the farmers must buy fertilizers
and farm tools on the black mar
! ket where prices are five times
the legal maximum. That means
they must keep some rice for
black market SALE"
Colonel Munske indicated that
unusual weather had upset the
Government calculations regard
ing Fukuoka Procedures power
needs. Ordinarily go per cent of
its power comes from hydroelectric
plants, but the winter has been
! exceedingly dry Yesterdays down
pour was the first considerable
rain since November, with the re-
suit that whole areas have been
producing only about So per cent
of the rated power capacity.
The lack Of hydrOelectric po-
wer has been holding down po-
wer from coal. Japan has been
struggling to get monthly pro-
duction as high as 100000 tons,
but last month was 10 per cent
below that mark. Other disa-
bilities are the shortage of mine
supplies such as timbers and wire
rope. In fact, virtually every
piece of heavy equipment is much
more than ten years old, with
so per cent urgently needing re-
placement.
