PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.* NEW YORK.—Back in the days of toothpick shoes, peg-top pants, ■ i the guards-back play, and "label”, I heads in newspapers, a young man was Blocked Channel drummed to With Hobton, He ar rr modest 14 Now Clear$ Em point cap italic headline—but a line which was quite a splash in those days. It was: "Heroism of Cadet PowelL” Young Joseph Wright Powell, not long out of Annapolis, bad commanded the little steam launch that tagged Into the channel of Santiago harbor the Collier Merrimac, sunk by Rich mond Person Hobson to block the escape of the 8pan!sh fleet. The launch attracted heavy fire from the shore forts, as Cadet Powell searched for Hobson and his men, and Its commander was highly praised for his skill and courage. He went back to Oswego, N. Y., married a home town girl and swung into an Illustrious career In and out of the navy. Four decades later. Joseph Wright Powell, special assistant to Secre tary Knox, is busy, not obstructing but clearing a channel, as he helps bring through this swarm of novel little "sea otter" freighters to get food and war gear to England. He is a director of the newly organized government - sponsored company, which will rush construction on the revolutionary little ships. His par ticipation, linked with that forgot ten headline, gave, to this depart ment at least, a sense of historic continuity in our common enter prise, at a moment of great par ticularization and controversy— "participating and continuous" as the life-insurance policies say. Mr. Wright has long been one of America’s leading naval ar chitects and shipbuilders, hav ing taken a post-graduate study in naval architecture, after his graduation from Annapolis, under Captain Hobson before their service on the flagship New York. He continued these studies at the University of Glasgow and was assistant U.8.N. naval constructor until 1906, when he withdrew from the navy to take up his ship building career with Cramp’s Shipbuilding corporation. He was president of the Emer gency Fleet corporation in 1921 and 1922. WHO is the highest ranking woman officer in the United States army? Come, come—what! you give up?

The peak of the corps member ship in the World war was 24,927. Under the active and experienced command of Major Flikke, the base is being broadened for even a larger membership to meet the require ments of our expanding army.

After a post-graduate course in nursing education and administration at Columbia, she returned to Augustana and be came assistant superintendent. She “joined the army” in the World war, and served a year In France, a year in China and a year in the Philippines. She was with the Walter Reed hos pital in Washington for 12 years, succeeding Maj. Julia C. Stim son, as superintendent of the corps, on May 29, 1937.

Hi NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtvitwtd by CARTER FIELD One-Third of National Income Will Be Re quired When Our De fense-Spending Reaches Present Goal . . . Pork Barrel Being Opened. (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) WASHINGTON.—One-third of ev ery dollar of income—that is, one third of our total national income— is the rate of expenditure for war purposes which high officials of the administration estimate, will have to be spent when defense spending reaches the present goal. And this does NOT mean, they hasten to explain, that 33% cents out of every dollar will be the maxi mum. What they are talking about is the PRESENT goal. It may be shifted considerably higher by the time it has been attained—in fact probably long before that. “That’s what we will have to do If we really mean what we say, and produce enough to beat Adolf Hitler,” one of these officials added. “If we do not mean what we say then we had better do some thinking right now and make the best terms with Hitler we can.” So far, administration officials say, production for war purpose is far from satisfactory by any con ceivable standard. It is not as much as we knew it had to be six months ago, whereas six months ago there was no adequate conception of what would be needed. All of this, it is pointed out, is important not only to the man in the street or on the farm as a patri otic American, it is important to him as a consuming individual. This is true because when we reach the goal of one-third of all our national income being spent for war pur poses, that means, roughly, that our standard of living will be reduced a considerable fraction of that amount. It would be easy to say that the man who has been spending $180 a month to maintain his family would have to get along on $120 a month. But tliis is oversimplified. Perhaps the man has been saving $20 a month. If he diverts that $20 a month to buying the baby bonds that will be part of the reduction, and therefore will not affect his spend ing. Because that $20 a month will be put into war spending by the government. * Not So Simple Nor ii it possible to make it as simple as this—that one-third of our annual income must be devoted to war expenditures; therefore the man with an income of $180 a month must give $60, either in bond-buy ing or taxes, to the government. It may be that with the rise in prices, which is sure to come, his income will be slightly increased. However, by the same token a rise in prices will mean that the govern ment will have to spend just about that proportion more—in dollars— to get the production now considered necessary for war purposes. But even if it is not possible to draw an accurate diagram of what will happen in any individual case, it is certain that things will get a lot worse before they get any bet ter. There is just one element of satis faction which may comfort the American worker and housewife during the tough period ahead. The tougher it is, the more of our income is devoted to war expenditures, and therefore the less we are able to spend on the things we would like to have, the sooner the war is likely to end—always assuming that we are going to win. Any other assump tion, naturally, is unthinkable for Americans, no matter what Lind bergh and the isolationist senators may say to the contrary. Pork Barrel It Being Opened Just as the new excise taxes— forerunner of the heavier income taxes—begin to bite congress will be pushing through one of the big gest pork barrel bills in the nation’s history. Pork barrel it will be in the most vicious sense of the old expression. “I’ll vote for your pork If you vote for mine,” is what it virtually makes individual members of con gress say to one another. One could substitute “graft” for "pork,” though of course there is no thought of individual graft. The "pork," or "graft" is merely federal money to be spent in the districts and states of the individual legislators. Just another manifestation of the old political doctrine that the con gressman who brings home the ba con—the one who is able to pry fed eral money loose for expenditure in the territory of his own constitu ents—is the one who gets re-elected. Rather a silly notion, one would think, in a time when our people Are about to be taxed to the bone j^vide for war expenditures, and BB|^rwhen one thinks of most *£^ai^jHyiarrel projects as use of federal funds is at a time loring la New Set of Tea Towel Motifs UTENSILS appliqued in the col or that is to be accented in the kitchen—shall we say yellow cr red—would be pretty for this set of tea towels.

Irrepressible Small Boy Has Ready Explanation “Now, children,” said the school i teacher, after a nature lesson, “I have told you how the new little birds learn to fly. I am going to play the piano and I want you to imitate the little birds’ movements with your arms in time to the music.” She sat down at the piano and as the music went on, all the chil dren waved their arms energeti cally, with one exception, little Johnny. “Come along, Johnny,” said the teacher coaxingly; “why did you not imitate the newly hatched birds as I told you?” “Please, miss,” replied the small boy, “I guess I’m a bad i egg!” Lure of Nature Those who love Nature can nev er be dull. They may have other temptations, but at least they will run no risk of being beguiled, by ennui, idleness or want of occupa tion, “to buy the merry madness of an hour with the long peni tence of after-time.”—John Lubi bock. • When your nostrils become red, Ir ritated, stuffy due to colds or dust, lust Insert a little Mentholatum In them.
