The guns won ithe nickname of "Big Berthas.'' Their aim was inaccurate and the mammoth barrels could withstand only a few rounds .of firi;ig. Contrast this awkward, impractical and inef fec- mv.e weappn with the jy-ay bombers which new 3,000 miles from the ndia-China-Burrna theater to bomb the Japanese mainlanel, and you will begin to realize the advance in the .science 01 wanare in me past quarter century. Bombers, used either for ,i.re actually long-range artillery. Big Bertha threw a pro jectile 75 or 80 miles into a as much as six or eight miles. Our bombers carry projec tiles weighing tons and drop them with extreme accuracy. We are told of the organization of a new bomber com- inand, designed to bombard any enemy-held target in the world, giving us a "Flying Big Bertha," with each plane surpassing the fire power of a dozen or more of the sensa tional German super-cannons of the last World war. News ,of. the second bombing of Japan thrilled this coun try; but in Japan, fully aware of its vulnerability to aeriel destruction, the roar of bombs thudding collapse of Njinpoiiese ambitions. v simultaneously with the news of the air blow at the Ja panese mainland, 'word was released that assault troops had landed1 at gaipan, Japanese air and naval base in tne Marianas ' Saipan, 72 square miles developed by the Japanese. unlimited possibilities for airfields.

When our bombers show or more miles away,, while at the same time our troops are assaulting one of the world's finest air and naval bases only 1500 miles from Tokyo, the .blood-hungry Jap must be doing some serious thinking. There is an interesting study in contrasts between the strategy of the war in Europe paign. The European phase collaboration. The Brjt'sh boast they can lose every battle but the last one. Their theory of warfare requires pre ponderance of men, materials and weapons. There is little imagination, little bluff, little gambling. But in the Pa cific, .the combined naval, air and ground forces have shown extreme daring. They have punched their opponent groggy with rapier-like thrusts; jabjbing, feinting and then smash ing powerful blows unexpectedly into exposed positions.

But outstanding in the entire picture of the war in its present phase is the fact that we are able to maintain of fensive war on a major scale throughout all the widely separated battle fronts. When the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, we were left in a deplorable condition. Yet, in the comparatively few mouths since that date, we have built up military, naval and air forces capable of striking any ppijit in the world, The overconfident Jap must hear in the run)blo of bomb-blasted ruins, the creaking founda tions of his hoped-for Asiatic empire. reach Appomattox.)

This is part of the fra ternity's nation-wide observance of the day the first to be held in the history of the country. Em blem day commemorates the adoption of the American bald eagle as the emblem of our na tion, an event which took place June 20, 1782. "This important event in the history of our country," declar ed M. R. Rockwell, president of the local lodge, "was neglected until 1912, when Wisconsin Eag les adopted a resolution setting aside June 20 as Emblem day, and dedicated the day to the spir it of the eagle monarch of the skies." Early this year, accord ing lo President Rockwell, the national governing body of the order put Emblem day on the Eagle calendar and asked that every aerie celebrate the day in order that "the eagle and its spir it of bravery, strength, and cour age be truly the emblem of our country not only on medals of honor and the Great Seal, but al so in the hearts and souls of all true Americans." An important part of the Eag les' celebration of Emblem day will be the support ot the Fifth War Loan drive. Managing Or ganizer Matt L. Brown has urged every aerie to invest all free funds in war bonds. The order has already invested more than $20,000,000, while the local aerie, which plans to buy S.",000 as part of its observance of Emblem day, holds a total of S17.700.00. The Eagles ill charge of the Emblem day program are Elmer Hamp ton, Earl Henry, Vein Hickson, .1. L. Shrum and H. D. Simmons. Sow Seed in Rich Soil to Produce Late Green Onions Green onions can be grown from seed in si.t to eight weeks; Victory gardeners who have been unable to get enough onion sets or plants, can use seed to grow e late crop, for use in salads, or at the boiling size. To produce spring or hunch onions, seed should be sown in shallow well-fed soil. Sow thinly and allow the seedling lo grow until Ihcy are large enough to serve, then thin out alternately as used until the plants stand two inches apart in the row. At this since lliry will make good sized hi. lbs which are excellent for boiling. Growth will be speeded if a dressing of plain food is giv- en six weeks alter sowing, using a pint to r0 feet of row. Lccks Also Gcou Crop If you wish to grow onions for winter keeping, there is a chance that with a late fall fair sized I bulbs would be produced by vn Pet. j 1 ,eties such as Yellow Globe Dan vers. The onion Is a long season Ml in op and is sown much earlier .530: than this as a rule. Home gardeners may find leeks a worth-while crop. Tins is a variety of onion which does not pioduee bulbs, but large stems which the Hritish prefer for fla voring cooked dishes. They are better if transplanted, and the practice in England is to make holes with a dibber nine Inches apart In the low, and drop a leek plant in each hole. They do not fill the hole but depend upon water lM-ing washed in by rains. The leeks may be left ln the ground 1111I1I it freezes hold By J. R. Williams Start Fighting Insects Prior to Garden Invasion As soon as the weather warms up, the bugs do the same. At the first sign of spring, they'll en gulf your garden in a tidal wave of insect life. That's your signal to take up arms against the in vaders. Pest control is a contin uous process, yet in the long run it pays tremendous dividends in a clean landscape and many pounds of fresh vegetables. You are warned to start actual spraying or dusting before the garden peals arrive. Many of the modern insecticides have repel lant value and help keep the bugs off your premises. Once they ar rive, your problems aro multi plied a hundredfold. In purchasing new nursery stock always make a careful ex amination to see that it is clean. Often garden pests are lurking in the joints and they'll certainly create havoc on your 1iome grounds. Patronizing a clean nur sery will help solve the pest prob lem. There is no general cure-all for garden pest:--. Different types of insects have distinee feeding hab its and consequently the same insecticide will not conquer all breeds. You should place plenty of faith in your nurseryman or seed dealer, for he is familiar with the insects in your neigh borhood and consequently quite able to prescribe the proper med icine. All gardeners should know, however, that sap-sucking insects obtain their food by sucking the "lilcblood" of the plants and these may be killed only by a contact spray; on the other hand, chew ing pests such as worms or cater pillars devour complete sections of a stem or flower and must be treated with a stomach poison. Then, too, fungus growth may be counteracted with an efficient fungicide and night prowlers such as snails or slugs require a special bait for the kill.

Both the baccalaureate service at 4 o'clock and commencement at 8 o clock will be broadcast over KOAC. Total number of graduates for the year is 398 compared with 607 a year ago.
