SWAN SONG If a punch-drunk, demoralized, tuckered out and doomed Fascist state needed any swan song to its erstwhile delusions of imperial eternity, Field Mar- shal Rommel and his noticeable failure to even make a pretense at defending Tripoli and the last of Libya, supplied that for TItaly. Rommel scurried through Tripoli so fast that he didn’t even have time to see the welcome and goodby signs, if African cities have such things for the ! benefit of the British, who have revisited many of the African cities during their trips back and forth | over the desert. The quick giving up of Tripoli to the hard-driv- ing British Eighth Army was undoubtedly a great psychological blow to the Axis cause as far as Italy 15 - concerned. That Italy may attempt to sue for peace whether Hitler allows it or not is not a too optimistic prediction. On December 2, the very tone of Mussolini’s speech to the Italian people was significant. Since that time, Italy has taken many a severe bombing where it hurts. You may remember that speech in which 11 Duce stuck to the best traditions of Fascist tech- Vllsihghl | | M |tion of Roosevelt.

He |said the people would fight to the end because he rknpw they were ready to quit. He urged all who {could to get out of the cities, | bombed. Above all, he urged the Italians to hate the United Nations because he knew that they really don't—they hate the Germans most. | | An Artist In Surgery | (New York Times) | Great physicians and surgeons stand apart from [the rest of their profession not only because of their exceptional ability but also because of a distinctive quality of mind. They ask questions. Why does one patient die afid another live after undergoing iden- | tical surgical experiences? The answers crystallize a |life-long experience and a philosophy that has de- |veloped through the years. So it was with Dr. |George W. Crile. He was not only an artist in sur- |gery—the man who first made a dire¢t blood trans- |fusion in the modern way, who illuminated the sub- | ject of surgical shock and introduced methods for |its control, who saw to it that patients lost some of their fears of operations, who devised methods of reducing high blood pressure by cutting appropriate | nerves, and who distinguished himself during the last war by his remarkable studies of wounds—but a |research scientist and a philosopher. So restless an imagination could not remain con- tent with exhibitions of surgical skill. He simply had to plunge into reseatch that led him into the Arectic and jungles of Africa, there to study and collect animals to support speculations on the functions and Iinterrelations of organs—speculations that were never { widely accepted. An out-and-out mechanist, he evolved a theory which sought to explain life in! radio-electric terms and which pictured living crea- tures as organizations of condensed sunshine. He took this theory so seriously that to him it made all the difference between life and death for a patient lunder the knife. It took courage to brave the skep- | ticism of the scientific world to interpret protoplasm as a system of generators, conductance coils and electrically charged films. And it was this very cour- (age that led him step by step to the performance of | operations which were once considered impossible jand which aroused the admiration of his surgical colleagues. There was something about him that |Tecalls the scientific romanticism of the Renaissance, and it is as a great romanticist that he will go down in medical and surgical history. A Pennsylvania housewife recently added to a fscrap collection drive a pancake griddle made by one |of her ancestors at his forge shortly after the Revo- lution. It had served five generations of pancake enthusiasts, but we suppose she figured that it would | | be for a better cause helping to put the Nazis and | the Japs in the grense {Senator Rufus Holman of Oregcn for general distribution thinks is propaganda for re-elec- The real battle is between Mel- lett and the War Department. equently happens the real issue.

The inorning is a time for planning instead of acting. Mental vision should be clear and judg- ment trustworthy. HEART AND HOME: In the| changing status of women which| places them in war industries stu- dents of sociology see many bene- fits. After the Pirst World War em- phasis was placed upon the physi- cal charms of girls who concen- | trated upon beauty aids and sought allure according to age-old pat-| terns. Self-centered and pleasure- loving, many lost proper values in| human relations, the seers polntI out, and divorces multiplied when| marriages lacked the rlgh.t roundx\-1 tions. Through the war years of this time women are to learn many| sad lessons and when peace is at- tained so' many men will have been | sacrificed that girls must continue to work alone with little “hope of | marriage. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Farmer& will have many puzzles as they‘ prepare for spring planting, be- cause Government regulations will} contirue fo be complicated. De- spite concessions contest for the| same privikcges and profits that be- | long to persons in war industries will continue to cause discontent. However, the stars presage such urgent need of food that agricul-| ture will gain substantial advsn- tages. Distribution of manpower| will bring definite aid. Russia’s | methods of large-scale farming w:ll‘ be studied. NATIONAL 'ISSUES: Training| of youth for the armed services will | prove how much can be accomplish- | =d by Government supervision of the development of future cmzens’ Agitation for civilian methods sim- | llar to those followed in the Army| and Navy will be widespread and will arouse determined apposition. | The stars presage gradual recog- | nition of the: wisdom of scientific guidance as an extension of our\ educational system. Lack of dLs~ cipline in the modern family will | be a factor in encouraging a degreel of regimentation which will be es-| pecially valuable when mothers are| employed. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: France continues under evil por-| tents which seem to indicate ser- ious aftermaths to the conscription | of labor for Germany. Further re-| volt against Nazi tyranny is prog- nosticated and it will be met with| such wholesale punishment that the world will protest against the hundreds of executions. Astrologers| explain that at a time not far off terrible barbarism on the part of Hitler and his assoclates will be- come the explosive which is to hasten the defeat of the Axis pow- ers. Persons whose 'birthdate it is have the augury of a year of aver-| age good luck. Compelling influ- ences will offer large returns for specialized work mext year. Children born on 'this day pro- bably will have ‘many odd adven- tures through their lives. Success in law or literature is indicated. (Copyright, 1943) !

Should a man ever hand his coat to a woman for her to hold for him? A. If the man has but one arm, if he is rheumatic, or if he is about 85 years of age, it would be excusable. ‘Otherwise, not. Q. Is a person who never shows the least gratitude for courtesies well-bred? A. No. “Ingratitude is abhorred by God and man,” and to be well | bred, gratitude should be instilled in one from garliest childhood. . Q. Is it proper for a hostess to set a definite time for the arrival and departure of house guests? A. Yes; this is both her privilege and her duty. If she wants her guests to come Friday evening and stay until Monday morning, she should specify it, or they might remain for a week. VLO‘OK and LEARN % ¢ corpon e e e ettt et D 1.
