THE ORACLE. 48 PER CENT UNFIT Culling the nation’s peacetime blood plasma program the most far-reaching health advance in history, Dr. Ross P. Mc- lutive, for twelve years the personal physician of late President Roosevelt, said that ‘we do something to im- prove the nation's health, “we may find ourselves again with forty-eight per cent of our men physically unfit to fight a war. ‘The statement of the doctor emphasizes the neceasity for medical steps to improve the physieal health of the young men and young women of our nation. Surely our country, with nearly one-half of its men unfit for military service, has something te worry about. We do not. have the answer to the problem but it can be attacked, in part, if our public school system will pay great- er attention to the physical health of pu- pila, There is no sehse whatever in over- looking the last half of the educational slogan, “a sound mind in a sound body.” | LEST WE FORGET ene It does not take long for human beings to forget. How many Americans remember with what anxiety they read the news, seven years ago, when the overwhelming pow- er of the German air force was Yaunched against the British Isles? How many of us recall the anxiety with which we watched the assault and the sympathy we felt for the people of England, who, despite their almost de- fenseless condition, continued to stand be- fore Hitler as the only obstacle to thwart hie conquest of Western Europe? ALL ARE PACIFIST A native of India, visiting in another state, calls attention to the fact that all major religions in India are pacifist in philosophy and says that the people “are opposed to revolution, bloodshed and the like.” ‘This is an interesting assertion, in view of the earrent violence between Moslems, Sikhs and Hindus, The native Indian as- sorts that thie constitutes only a transi- tonal phase in the history of his coun- try and that the bloodshed will soon pass away. eee We have had all kinds of ages, like the Gelden Age, the Iron Age, ete. Now we have the Short-Age, STRAW VOTES Though the state Democratic primary is seven months away, the result of a straw. vote, conducted on a limited scale, already has been announced, The Citizen thinks little ofa straw vote. In too many ifistances, locally, state- wide and nationally, results of such votes have fallen far shart of the predictions. ‘The best known of such failures was in 1986 when The Literary Digest publish- ed a nationwide polé that indicated Lan- doh would defeat Roosevelt. That poll was publistied a few days before election, which resulted in Roosevelt’s carrying ev- ery state in the Union except Maire and Vermont. Recently, we have not had many straw votes on the outlook of an election in Key West, but ‘there used to be a time when half a dozen places conducted straw ie with results almost always conflict- de too many occasions, the result of voting of that kind often represents the attitude of the man who conducts it. That was not so, apparently, in the case of The Literary Digest, or in the case of the man who announced in Miami the straw vote on the candidates for the Democratic nom- inaiton for governor next May. But even if one is disinterested, so far as any parti- cular candidate is concerned, in eonduct- ing a poll, it is of little consequence be- cause it does not represent what has been ealled the “great silent vote” that decides every election. The man or the woman who places #feat store itt the privilege of voting does not proclaim his or her sentiment from the howsetops. Further, such a_ voter is not swayed by restilts of straw votes or any- thing else, except his conscience. Voting is compulsory in Australia. It should be in the United States. NEWSPAPER ACCURACY INVOLVED tities Lieut. General John C. H. Lee, former commander of the ‘iediterranean area, makes a serious charge in connection with .4 series of newspaper articles done by a columnist. It is an allegation which should not be passed over by newspapers gen- erally. General Lee says that he believes that the correspondent chiefly responsible for critical press reports of his command “was trying to establish himself as a columnist with the support of his chain of newspa- pers.” Unfortunately, the journalists of the country have provided no tribunal to inves-, tigate such a charge and to discipline, if convicted, the writer concerned. We make no attempt to judge the ac- curacy of the General’s conclusion. Neither have we made any attempt to pass judg- merit upon the allegations of the newspa- per writer. Army officers, however, took up the charges and conducted an investi- gation. In time, the results will reach the public. Unfortunately, journalists have no similar facilities for investigating the columnist and his assertions. There should be some way to establish his accuracy and good faith, or his inaccutacy and bad faith. General Lee makes the point that wherever you have one thousand men in service, there will be a certain percentage to complain of the treatment they are re- ceiving. This is obviously true, not only of one thousand men in service, but of one thousand men in any association, congre- gation or organization. No impartial inves- tigator, whether reporter or columnist, or what not, would intentionally confine his investigation, or his reports, to the com- plaints of a small percentage of those available to him in his inquiry. Happiness is to be found in a state of mind. if you have a mind to be happy. ear taki 2 aM cies is NEW LAMPS OVERDUE We hasten to give some free advertis- ing to the new lamps which various manu- facturers claini will give from fifty to one hundred per cent more light than those now in general use. Adopting new construction and light- control methods to overcome insufficient light and glare, the nianufacturers, through an association called the new design “the greatest improvement in lighting in fifteen years.” The floor and table lamps now in use, largely through their appeal to the wom- en who want to decorate their rooms, are, for the most part, monstrosities. The pro- duce as much glare as light and many of them heat up the victim who seeks illu- mination. re Banta 2s SORE | standard, For centr: lard subs Seis. hour; for mountain stands hours, Morning (6e08— Honeymoon in New York—nbo Breakfast Club—abe 9:15—Oklahoma Roundup—ebs Shady Vailey Folks—mbs too es, Waring Show—nbo t—chs lay stow Dramsa—ahe 10: ity Crocker Talk—abe 10:30—Say It With Music—mbs 11:00—Arthut Pha ects Show—cbs Breakfast in Hollywood—abe 14:30—Ben Alexander Show—mbs 11:45—Serials (3% hours)—cbs Afternoon 12:00—Welcome. ‘Travelers—abe Kate Smith Speaks—m! 12:30—-Words and.
