When the draft bill— officially
called the selective military service
act— came before Congress, it was
known that the great majority of the
American peopld favored it. So did
all the leading commentators. So did
most public men, including both Pres
ident Roosevelt and Contender Willkie.
The country looked in wondering am
azement at what the totalitarian pow
ers were doing to once-democratic Eur
dpe, and was grimly determined that
every possible step should be taken to
make sure nothing of that kind would
happen here at home. Under those
circumstances, it would have been a
reasonable forecast that the draft mea
sure would go through in jig time.
But it didn't—Congress has seld
om given more time to debating any
measure. And there is a very good
reason for that.**Congress did not
want the draft bill—the great majority
of the Senators and Representatives
voting for it did so with deep regrets.
They supported it, in brief, because
they felt that dire necessity demanded
it. And they know that once the bill
became law, a great and as yet unreal
ized change would have come over the
American scene.
This country has always been dead
set against compulsory military serv
ice in peacetime. It has always felt
that enforcing men to take up arms
when we were not at war was in direct
violation of the democratic process
and the democratic tradition. It has
looked with a mixture of pity and con
tempt on those European nations
where for centuries every able-bodied
man has been required to give a year
Or two of his life, wrar or no war, to
learning something about the craft of
arms. And yet, despite that, once the
menace of dictatorship became clear,
the country reversed its previous stand
and decided' that the peace-time draft
was the lesser of the evils.
The mechanics of the law are
simple enough. Next month every
man in the nation between the ages of
21 and 35 inclusive, will go to a place
of registration and fill out a blank.
Some 16,500,000 men will be involved,
and by early next year it is estimated
that 900,000 of them will be called to
the colors. The men chosen will serve
a year, and will be paid $30 a month.
There is nothing in the law granting
deferment to men with dependents and
families deferment is specifically;
granted only to those who, in the opin
ion of the President, are filling import
ant jobs in industries and callings
which are essential to defense. It is
believed certain, however, that men
with dependents will not be called un
less war comes.
What will be the effect on our eco
Inomic order? Only time can answer
’that question fully, but some of the re
sults can be easily foreseen. The bulk
of healthy, single young men will be
temporarily taken away from the soc
iety they are used to. They wion’t be
marrying arid' building homes. They
won’t be earning good wages and spend
mg them. Their places will be taken
by older men, or by men whose physic
al status makes them unfit for military
life. And when, the year’s training is
over, these young men are released,
another dislocation will take place.
The draft law provides that every em
ployer who is able to, must take the
conscripts back, and put them in the.
same jobs at the same wages. That
will mean that men taken on in the
meantime to do the wiork must be dis
charged. In some cases, men who
have spertt a year in the army will be
slow to get back again into the routine:
of their jobs, and that will involve loss i
of time and money. All in all, the draft
law will unquestionably create many
a problem for industry no less than the
individual.
It doesn’t make a pleasant picture.
And certainly, a peace-time draft is, in
principle, opposed tio what this kind of
r, country and government stands for.
But few oppose the action of Congress
in adopting it. Ill-trained soldiers, in
modern war, become easily slaughter
ed soldiers.

H. M .L.—Dear Friend, I have a
daughter who has finished high
school. Do you think that it
would be best to send her to col
lege this fall? It seems like she
is much in love with a boy here.
Ans: Pack her off to college
right away. The training would
be excellent and put the finishing
touches to her. Money spent on
educational purposes is mighty
important and you can’t go wrong
giving her the best education you
can afford.
*****
G. C. D.—Should we try to re
deem the old homestead or would
it be best to buy land elsewhere?
Ans: I suggest that you buy
land elsewhere and do not waste
your money and time on trying
to get the old homestead back a
gain. The chances are that you
couldn’t if you tried—and it would
mean endless Worry and expense
on your part. Forget it altogeth
er and buy in a more desirable lo
cation.
******
W. R. VV.—I have been in a hard
stream of luck and I feel that 1
need your help. My husband is
old and fate seems to be against
us. Tell me what I should do?
Ans: The only thing you can
do is to look for a regular job and
go to work. Your husband is get
ting entirely too old to work, and
you can’t sit down and wait for
relief help. If ycu were to get a
job your problem would be solved.
******
L. K.—I am living with an aunt
and I want to know if she wants
me to get out? Do you think I
should make a trip to California
to visit my other aunt?
Ans: No, I don’t. You should
take a little different attitude ar
ound the house and try to be a
comfort to your aunt. She is a
bit disgusted with the way you
act—but she doesn’t want you to
leave. Make up your mind to help
her more and try to be more cour
teous for after all you are depend
ent upon her for your living.
M. S.—Last summer I went cff
and was misled by a man. Now
everything is over and I am back
home. Now the boy I used to
love don't pay me any attention at
all. He used to say he loved me.
Will he ever change his mind and
forgive me?
Ans: He never will. Don’t you
think that you are asking a heck
of a lot to expect him to take you
with open arms and support your
child? He has been hurt by what
you have done, but he will look
elsewhere when he wants a wife.
You had better stop thinking about
him and try to find someone else
who appreciates you.
******
P. G.—Does my husband run
wbmen the reason he doesn’t act
like he cares for m® like he should.
Ans: He isn’t guilty of that
act. Your husband isn’t quite sat
isfied with you as a wife—he can’t
understand your “cool’ demonstra
tion of love—when he first met
you, you were everything but ccld
and disagreeable and If you don’t
change your ways he will get out
and find him a gal.
******
H. B. N.—Since I have been
knowing this girl my heart doesn't
behave at all normally. In fact
it cuts up and even skips jumps
when she comes before me. Tell
mo what I should do about it as I
am positive that she knows just
how I feel ?
Ans: You need to go with more
girls and have more dates. The
very first love is usually the
"most exciting’’ but seldom lasts
very long. Make it a point to
date the other girls in your crowd
and I am sure that with a little
more experience your heart will be
controlled and you wont spend
many sleepless nights.

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK, OCT. 6 TO 12
Omaha will join in the national
observance of Fire Prevention
Week October 6 to 12 with a city
Wide program designed to encour
age elimination of fire hazards by
home owners, business men and
factory operators, Chairman P. K.
Walsh of the Chamber of Com
merce Fire Prevention committee
said today.
“The Fire Prevention Week is a
good time to remove rubbish and
effect a genuine cleanup of all
premises since fires do not start
in clean places”, Walsh said. “Reg
ular cleaning, particularly in at
tics, cellars and under stairways
would prevent numerous fires
which are constantly destroying
American homes.” Walsh pointed
out that in the presence of rubb
ish. only a chance spark or flame
is required to court disaster. Ev
ery citizen in this community is
urged to see that an reiuse unu
other waste material is collected
and destroyed( he said.
Some suggestions have been pre
pared by the committee to elimin
ate hazardous conditions caused by
rubbish. They are:
“Combustible waste material
should be removed periodically. If
burned out of doors, care should he
taken to see that no sparks cr
embers ignite nearby property. A
saf practice is to provide an In
cinerator or mtal basket for burn
ing such material.
“Rags and cloths which have
been used for polishing furniture
and oiling floors are subject to
spontaneous ignition if left exp ?
ed to the air for a period of time.
In order to overcome this hazard
they should be kept in a tightly
covered matel container, or elsw

destroyed.
"In the fall of the year lRwns
are likely to be covered with dry
leaves. Serious fires are caused
each year when piles of dry leaves
catch on fire. BuryinK them will
remove bad source of fire and at
the same time enrich the soil.
"Ashes should not toe kept in
wooden containers. A Kood prac
tice is to keep them in metal cans
from from all contact with com
bustible material.”
