While those living in agricultural areas will fare better than those in the cities, it is possible that demand everywhere will increase faster than supplies. ‘~The Bureau of Economics, of the De- partment of Agriculture, says there are enough rationed foods on hand, together with expected production, to maintain the present eating levels for the remainder of 1948. Unrationed foods, however, are not too plentiful and the apparent supply for fall and,winter months is not. too favorable. * This is true asto eggs,’ cereals, fruits and vegetables. The, Bureau sreports that vegétables are running about thirteen per cent below last year, that late freezes cut erops of apricots, cherries, peaches, plums and prunes below 1942 and that supplies of eggs will drop considerably below current levels, A STUDY COURSE IN ALCOHOL A six-weeks’ study of the consequences of &lcohol will be held this summer at Yale Unjversity, where scientists will instruct a class of about seventy-five educators, so- cial~workers, clergymen and enforcement cfficials, The prevention of alcoholism and its ill éffects is hampered by the lack of com- munity leaders who have a broad scientific understanding of the problems of alcohol,” saySsthe school prospectus, which adds that thefaim ofthe school isto educate such lead ersfby giving them thoroug! scightifie k: ledge about thi sicigns and psychologists who haved observed. the’ effects of alcohol objectively, will’ éx- plaim howsalcohol affects man. Psychia- trists, sociologists, jurists and clergymen will report their findings and observations in dealing with the maladjustments of the habitual inebriate. x Too much talking and too little think- ing accounts for some of the troubles that beset mankind. What human beings are unable to un- derstand they attribute to the Almighty, either as a blessing or a punishment. , The advertiser who seeks to influence ® newspaper by his patronage, is as lousy as the newspaper that accepts the bribes. Italy is abouttto the point where’Mus- solint will have an gpportunity to display his leadership under‘fire; but he will quit cravenly under fire, like all contemptible cowards, _ William Green, president of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, said that “not more than one-half of one per cent of the workers in industry have _ participated in strikes since the no-strike pledge was given.”’ That's one-half of one per cent too many; a pledge by labor, particularly in war time, should be kept one hundred per centinviolate, : j FALLING FROM GRACE “Don’t blame,the Navy, boys. If you went to various places throughout the country and brought back with you 100 | men, there would be some bad eggs among them. The Navy resents what those three sailors.did even more keenly than what you do,” . Thus spoke a Key West. editor about the alleged attack of three sailors on a crip- ple and‘ansold man, both of whom had of- fered to do favors and were robbed while making Aheir offers. co |” As thete would be some bad eggs in those 100 men, is it not natural that the Navy, which has gathered together hun- dreds of thousands of men from every nook | and corner in the country, should run across some punkers? In all large cities and some small ones too, despite drilling examinations and thorough investigations, punkers turn up in police forces, day in and day out. Men with evil minds given to committing evil deeds whenever they get a chance, are found in all aggregations, large and small. Using religion as a cloak, they become members of churches, and sometimes reach positions as leaders before they are found out. ‘convicted of committing crimes ranging up than it js if censuring the Navy, or any, her branch of the armed services, because a zat turns up.once in awhile. Allin all, Key West has been fortunate in the type of soldiers and saildrs(who have with only an exceedingly small percentage Navy’s good name. Thus a sailor, who tried to attack a woman, and another, in the presence of two women, were sum- marily expelled from the Navy after they had been court martialed and found guilty. “Don't blame the Navy, boys,” is good sense and fairness embodied in five words.

Then there was a large *blustering man who walked with a cane and acted as though he resented every step. That would be Roscoe Newton. Her grand- mother had mentioned him. Glancing swiftly around the room, Ann counted eleven per- sons. Mr. Baxton was right. The house was full. On every table sat a conspicu- ous decanter of mineral water labeled, “Drink to health from Terrence Springs.” Ann poured a second glassful and looked up to see Mr. Baxton and Jerry enter- ing. They were eae at a table at the far side of the room but Jer- ry’s glance sought her and for a moment he hesitated as if con- sidering coming to speak to her.

Already the atmosphere of Terrence House was beginning to depress her. encounter with Mrs. Charles Morgan immediately aft- er lunch did nothing to cheer her. The woman, one of Grand Gus- sie’s close friends, tackled her in the reception hall. “Ann! It’s so nice to see you, child.” “Thank you. I came as soon as I could.” ‘T KNEW you would. We're all so glad you're going to c: on here just as your dear grand- mother did. Everybody in Rad- ville grieves for poor Mrs, Ter- rence.

Ann spent the afternoon sitting on the wide terrace and wander- ing about the grounds. But her mind was busy with imagining where Grand Gussie might have put her will, It was like her to hide it. She loved fo hide her possessions in out of the way places. Often hid them, Ann thought, for the pure joy of finding them again herself. She had had a wall safe put in her 2ZZ room. But she never used “Too obvious,” she fretted once when Ann mentioned it “Burglars look for safes.” So she would have put the will in one of her innumerable and unpredictable hide-outs. ther seed nor water, she added, “What are they trying to do?

Won't you ‘ down?” He drew a chair for er. “No.” She must not be fooled by his easy smiling ways. Color felt warm in her cheeks as she let her anger rise. “I'm afraid I have nothing to say to you.” “But .. . if you would let me explain?” “Explain what? The polite way for a gentleman to commit grand larceny?” “But listen. Surely you know T hadn’t the faintest idea... .” “How to do it?” she cut in “But you were smart enough to hire a lawyer who did!” She turned and fied from the room, ashamed that she had let him see how upset she was. Ashamed, too, that she had so little control over her stupid, pounding heart. She ought to hate him. She did hate him. She . . . hoped!

MINES AND MORALE Morale in Germany must be worse than we think if there is any truth to the story printed in Sweden that the Nazis plan to use an armada of 2,000 planes to smash an Allied invasion by laying mines in every British harbor. The use of 2,000 planes to attack the invasion forces, ships and men, might make some sense, but to talk about halting an in- vasion by laying mines is to expect too much from the explosives which have not yet proved enough to halt an attack upon any port, OF JUNE 22, 1933 The chief speaker at the Key! | Representative William V.
