The money is needed to buy tools for the boys in the front line whose equipment guns ships planes and gear means their very life our security and future The money is needed to keep our economic system and our dollar sound If we gave all our money for this cause we would hot be doing tod much but we are only asked to lend part of our money! A bomber costs $250000 a tank costs $40000 a gun costs $10000 big money but got that kind of money in this county CJO! 4 OICIAL HOT AIR Officialdom in Washington naa renewed Its complaints that the country is too that it is still hot making the sacrifices necessary for victory If such a serious complacency does exist the greatest single source of the infection is Washington Itself Take asan example the statement of Representative May chairman of the house miliary 'affairs A committee who does not hesitate to predict thatthe war will end "probably in 1942 and unquestionably in A prediction of this sort even if by some happy miracle itshquld be fulfilled' cannot possibly be justified No man can know all the facts necessary to make such a statement But Mr May's star gazing will unfortunately carry weight with many people because of: his position on' the important committee with some people it will carry more weight because of his declaration that his prediction is based on his knowledge of "a military Mr May doubtless does know some mili tary secrets not known to the country in general But knowledge only of our own strength and weakness cannot possibly justify his broad claim To form a worth while opinion as to the outcome of the war Typographical Union No 64 states that all printers employed in the La fayette Journal and Courier com posing room are union members in ways of life after victory may be met and necessary adjustments made Changes after defeat would be Infinitely worse and the conditions would be beyond American control BE ON THE ALERT "My advice to the civilian population and and to the defense corps volunteers is this: Get' on the alert and stay on the alert 24 hours a day seven days a week Perfect if that is still necessary all civilian protection services' Acquaint the civilian population with what is expected of them during raids build your blood banks speed your first aid training courses 'and beware of giving information to strangers which may be of vital military This statement does not come from a stump speaker but from Mayor John letcher of Unalaska in the Aleutian islands Mayor letcher has just reported to OCD Director Landis that the lack of civilian casualties as a result of the Japanese raid of June 3 was due In large part to the extensive civilian defense training that the people of Unalaska had experienced Mayor statement should banish for the duration the complacency of our people a He said: "Those of us who have been evacuated from the Dutch Harbor region know that it did happen here and it can happen here I hope you will never be faced with what we have gone through The only safe thing to do from now on is to live in constant anticipation that it may happen to ORDERS Because of a sudden attack of high blood pressure we' are told Mohandas Gandhi has been ordered by his physicians to get away from it all for a rest in the moun tains Immediate improvement is expected in the blood pressure of British authorities in India It would not be difficult to think of other prominent personages who should go away for a rest and change It is not unlikely that Marshal Rommel needs a holiday The united nations would feel much better if he could take" a long one Adolf Hitler may have a breakdown if he tahe care of himself and we all hope that It will be nothing trivial A suitable government for Germany after the war might be a commission made up of a Pole a Czech a' Greek ahd a Norwegian Or membership could be extended to citizens of any country that had ever been ruled by

tires Gandhi is suffering from exhaustion but not of other people's patience he would have to know also the exactstrength' and weakness And Mr May knows no more abotlt these things than the rest of us do All the known facts are against his com placent assurance of an early victory There is nothing at all in grim War pic turd to encourage his fond hopes Our opponents are making desperate drives everywhere and there is nothing certain about when we shall be able to turn the tables on them Shipping on which we must rely to make our weight felt aggres sively is gravely limited No public

wish to conceal It is just a constitutional infirmity that makes them shudder away from a cold hard fact in the face They have to glam orize everything and see it as they want to see it not as it is1 4' Especially is this true as regards them selves and it is what gets them into so much trouble In her secret soul every wo man knows that no matter to whom else she tells tarradlddles she should not lie1 to herself She knows she should tell herself the truth ho matter how much it hurts but she cannot summon up the nerve to do it rom the cradle to the grave she plays the game of make believe and there is no one else in the world she befools so com pletely as she does herself No woman for instance ever tells herself the truth about how she looks In spite of being confronted with her reflection' in mir rors wherever she' turns she never sees herself as anything short of glamorous If she is fat she pictures herself as only pleas ingly plump and thanks Heaven she obese as some other woman is If she is a Hiving skeleton she gloats over her slen derness If she has a saleratus biscuit com plexion she is sure she is the understudy of some dark sultry senorita And when she paints her face and dyes her hair she is perfectly certain that not even an BI could penetrate her 'disguise pf age mas querading as youth That women deceive themselves about their looks is the explanation of the way so many of them dress The torture chamber get the woman whose lower extremities look like a leg of prime beef or something ex cavated from the hone yard into slacks and shorts if she had the remotest idea of how she looks But she She never doubts that her legs are duplicates of Marlene inability to tell the truth about their age has passed' from a joke into a legend But the reason they lie about their birthdays Is not so much with intent to mis lead others as to conceal from themselves the unpleasant fact that they are growing older As long as they remain a permanent thirty nine and I knew one woman who stayed that way so long that her son was only four years younger than she said she was they feel that they are still young and life is worth living The pitiful side however of woman's fatal faculty of lying to themselves comes in when dealing with their dove problems If a woman loves a man she simply refuses to accept the fact that he does not care for her He may neglpct her flout her Insult her run around with other women without in the least shaking her belief that he loves her All the evidence is against it but such an adept is die in deceiving herself she goes on believing what she wants to believe Thousands of women are old maids be cause they have befooled themiselyes into thinking they saw the love light in the eyes of men who never had the slightest gleamfor them The wives of thousands of philan derers eat out their hearts year after year waiting for unfaithful husbands to return to them because they lack the mental hon esty to admit that their marriages are all washed up that their husbands no longer love them If they ever did and that any way they are heels who are not worth wast ing a tear over But the tragic part of ability to deceive themselves comes when they see all of their children as swans and refuse to recognize that there is an ugly duckling among them Many a child loses its chapce to have some mental or physical "defect cor rected because Mother admit that little Johnny had bowlegs or that the Mary walk was because' there was something the matter with her spine or that there was some reason why Tommy was slow in learning to talk 1 And many a man has ended his days In the electric chair because hiis mother lied to heeself about his outgrowing the bru tality and temper and lack of discipline that she had cultivated in him in childhood Benjamin ranklin said that "honesty is the best So is facing1 the truth But of all people in the world we should not lie to that one is ourself DOROTHY DDL (Copyright

legislator and chairman of the house military affairs committee but he is also known as a teller of tall stories He has long in sisted for instance that down in Pike county Kentucky he nevershoots at a squirrel directly but at the limb on which it is perched so he can kill it by concussion An offset to Mr amazing prediction "has been offered by Senator Tydings of Maryland who thinks the war will not end until 1944 vi Everyone likes to hear good news and such statement as these are given prominence in the press for that reason although they are not worth the breath it took to utter them No one in authority knows when the war will end No one can have a good guess And such' wild stabs as are being' made fluctuate from day to day with news from the front One official who knows as much about it as either Mr May or Mr Tydings 1 says the war will last five years if Egypt falls All that can be truthfully and They'll Do It Every Time Jimmy Hatlo Registered Patent Office nAkl COMEOOME!

If they have any doubts about 'the words they can look them up in any American dictionary and satisfy themselves I suspect we suspect what the answer Is heard English broadcasters say And sec They practice before a looking glass to be smart like the Ehglish But while those two pronuncia tions may be correct in England they are incorrect in the i USA still a pretty good country Laboratory is correctly pro nounced in England with! the ac cent on the bor sounded exactly as bore Thats incorrect jhere as our pronunciation is incorrect there I wish radio executives would insist that all

item of display just wander all over town looking at the window displays in the said Miss orbes (who at home is Mrs Hoskins) and I get a big thrill out of every one of them I go inside and look at the counter displays and I'm just bursting to tell the sales people that I wrote the book and hoping that they will recog nize me But I nerve enough to1 say anything Tm in New York for just a few days I
