There is not only a shortage of clothing, but also a scarcity of fuel. Help- 1 families huddle together in an effort to keep warm in unheated buildings, de- spite insufficient clothing and bedding. This the report of observers in ‘ope and in some areas of the Far East. The biting cold tortures the innocent and helpless victims of warfare, causing un- told suffering in neutral countries, as well is as in enemy lands. Last April, the people of the United States participated in-a_clothing collection which provided garments:-for 25,000,000 human beings. This month the Victory Clothing Collection will continue through 31st, with the endorsement of national organizations, .ineluding educational, labor, veterans, religious and service groups. r,t The individual in Stdiiroe county is asked to give"eV ety uffasableO1d"p garment, Pieee Sof Uhused goods, discarded bedding and whatever they may have that can possibly be used to clothe those who have nothing as good. It is assumed that almost every find some discarded garments that can be contrib- uted to the relief of human suffering. All that we have to do, if we will, reverse the situation and imagine millions of people in this country, ter a devastating war, faced the cold ter weather without fuel and without enough clothing to keep themselves warm. What would we think of European people f they were unwilling to send us their diss ied clothes, bedding and material? What will we think of ourselve after years, if, through carelessness; neglect or indifference, we fail to respond » these human needs.and permit millions people, especially women and children, » suffer not only the pangs of -cotd; but so to die from disease that inevitably accompany prolonged exposure. anuary many every person can to at INTERESTING LAWSUIT An being sued for of two e that the Manila during December, 1941. This is an interesting legal problem. complainants allege that the men on shore leave when the air raid started and that the ship left without them so that consequently they were cap- tured by the Japanese and died on a Jap- anese prison ship. The company, as we understand its defense, says that the ship left Manila only after making every possible effort to locate the men and get them aboard and that its leaving was in compliance with orders issued by the Navy. It is difficult to see how the plaintiffs will be able to meet this defense. American shipping company is $500,000 damages by the merchant seamen who were abandoned in Japanese attack of famili s men the The were Now where did we swipe this one: Indian gals have a lot of fun with their beaux and errors. The saccharine quality of the sweet- ness of home is more perceptible now since they are so hard to get. EYING THE BANK ROLL A rich person, in the eyes of taxing authorities, is much like an automobile: bleed him or it white at every chance. A township in New Jersey, said to have a total budget of less than $100,000, tried to get some of Doris Duke Cromwell’s money and proceeded to assess her per- sonal and intangible properties for. $14,- 000,000, but the United States Supreme Court, by a unanimous decision, déclared was based. way the taxing gentry, in Florida par- the automobile “easy meat’ for the gov- ernmental pap trough. It would be more than enlightening to learn just how long it requires a Key Wester, for instance, to pay in taxes the amount he pays for an automobile. Every time he buys five gallons of gasoline, the plate and the driver’s license; both of which have been doubled in the last few years, do not amount to much; and neither will the city inspection of brakes and lights cost much, but they prove that the Florida than anything’ else’ of equal value: lieve, in saying ‘that it«won’btsbe longi bess fore drivers’ licensés will, be doubled again’ and again, and cost of license plates will,:al e increased again, or some tax “expert’?s will find other ways to gouge the owner of an automobile. As for the wealthy man, he can’t step toward any point of the compass without stubbing his toe against some kind of tax structure. And tax gatherers from the federal government to states and counties and cities and villages have their eyes on his bank roll.

A look of pain etched itself about Whit Lacey’s mouth. “No one ever talked’to me like that before,” “More's the pity!

You — you mustn’t hurt her, Whit!” “Hurt her?” he cried. “Don’t you suppose I love her?” Suddenly the anger went out o_ her and she was consumed with a great pity. She felt years older. than this man. She was almost like a mother when she said, ‘Discipline is what you need, Whit. What a pity no one ever gave you a good dose of it!

Quarrels in her life with Laura had been fear- ful, almos: unheard-of things. She could not accept them lightly. In the drug store they ran up on a group of boys and girls who had attended the party at Rose- lands. They swooped down on Edith and insisted that she ac- company them to a late show, She ave preferred going on home to bed for she was very tired, but somehow she was per- suaded to go with them.

There was not. time nor opportunity to examine her emotions here—sometime when she was alone she would take this strange new feeling out of the recesses of her heart and look at it. She was not sure just now that she was quite ready to meet whatever she might see.
