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

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

but clearing a channel, as he helps
bring through this swarm of novel

food and war gear to England. He
is a director of the newly organized

which will rush construction on the

continuity in our common enter

ticularization and controversy—
"participating and continuous" as
the life-insurance policies say.
Mr. Wright has long been one
of America’s leading naval ar

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

1922.

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

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!”

Those who love Nature can nev

run no risk of being beguiled, by
ennui, idleness or want of occupa

of an hour with the long peni
