I Ye Smudge Pot By AB1HLB PERBT The average American boy will spend $5 today celebrating the birth of the nation, experts estimate. Their paws, to hear f.iem tell it, did a better job on less money. For a week be fore July 4, they hoed corn for .30c to spend on the Great Day, as they tell It, while forking over a five-spot to Junior. What happened? They spent a nickel for pink lemonade, and saved the balance for Christmas. "This space belongs to Henry Grace, who went off to Iowa Park with the copy in his pocket." Burkburnett, Texas, Star).

Into the horrible maelstrom we'll plunge unless a miracle saves us, and out we shall be spewed some day, shamed, repentant, broke, see ing all too clearly what we can not see now that our hand struck the death blow to democ racy. Under the guise of saving It abroad, we shall again become involved in the ageless, hopeless conflict in Europe which has see-sawed back and forth for centuries. One hundred and thirty million Americans will deliberately walk into the slaughterhouse, and what a headache we'll have when the orgy comes to an end as all wars sometime must. Then, once more, we shall hear the preachers proclaiming the pacifist creed, editors de nouncing profiteers, politicians, and war-mongers, while taxpay ers with pockets rifled and sons dead, will swear, as they did in 1919, to fight no more on for eign soil. The program never changes, nor ever will. I suppose, so long as our evangelistic spirit sur vives. "Do you think," screams Dor othy Thompson, "that the United States of America can stand aloof from the vicissitudes of the world?" Sure not! The vicissitudes, as well as the hare-brained idiocies of the world, we make our main business. Our money went to Europe in a stream to rebuild cities that are now laid waste again after 20 years. According to Dr. Hans Zinsser, whose book, As I Remember Him, is Just off the press, Herbert Hoo ver spent $50,000,000 in Russia right after the Romanoffs fell. to set up a health program which the Leninites could hard ly wait to stamp out after they got rid of our Angels of Mercy. Certainly the vicissitudes of the world are our meat; one only wonders whether we may not one of these days bite off more than we can chew." (Washington, D. C, Herald). 5TH COLUMNIST GETS SEVEN YEARS IN PEN London.

After that hectie week in Philadelphia, New York rather provincial village! Can't get away from Mr. Philip, the son who looks like a Princeton graduate. or did he he didn t get his diploma because his class (of 1940) voted him the At any rate he is the youngest appearing young man of his years And there they were at the performance of "Life With Father," looking exactly as they looked that first night at the Academy of Musie, the Sunday before the convention opened. Father smiling and exuberant, Mrs. W. pretty and de mure, Philip, pale and glassy eyed, only papa really having a good time. (Philip may succeed, but we venture to say not in politics). There was a great laugh when in the play Papa Day got off that line: "God! Why did God make so many fools and Demo, crats!" everyone looking at the new presidential candidate. W. W. took it in his stride as usual, but the rest of the family looked as though they would like to beat it. En passant, one might observe that if the Republican ticket is successful in November, we doubt if the White House ever recovers from the 6hock of having "Eleanor" replaced by Mrs. Wendell Willkie as its mistress, in all creation could there reallv be two verv nice women more completely UNalikel The Willkie family had a hard time getting, out of the theatre, also getting in. There were the usual photographers and reporters, and even more of these pestiferous autograph fiends. Apparently the week-end osean voyage on Roy Howard's yacht had put the candidate in better trim and humor than that hot "morning after the night before" at the Warwick, for he turned none of the autographers down, that we could see, reel ing off his John Hancock with a smile and a flourish, to the former's immense delight. "Ain't he just swell!" we heard one of the gals remark as she proudly displayed the signature to her companion. He is. It s the familiar case live the King!" ve could not help but wonder how it MAY be four years hence! But sufficient unto the day is the triumph thereof and Mr. Willkie is certainly having a triumph and enjoying it. mere was another press conference earlier in the afternoon down at 20 Pine street, the Commonwealth and Southern offices, wnere -Mr. Vt uikie handed in his didn't attend. Saw one of the wasn t at Philadelphia, but like the boys down there, he was most enthusiastic, "Don't think F.D.R. will be ao eager to tangle with that bird," said he. Our comment on that was to express serious doubt, "Let that idea get abroad and F.D.R, will not only tangle with him, but give him a terrific battle to the finish." The weather continues perfect, more like October than July. Comfortably warm in the sun, but at the bottom of one of these skyscraper canyons, where the sun can't get in, an overcoat is comfortable. Had" luncheon at the Central park zoo, on the umbrella dotted terrace in front of the seal pool. Very nice food, very nice place, and a big crowd, .when feeding time for the seals came around. . These seals are extremely greedy and gregarious, how they gobble up the fish, and sated, gather in intimate groups on the sides of the pool in the sun and go to sleep. Two baby seals, only three or four weeks old, attracted much attention and fa vorable comment. they slept on their backs, a baby seal isn't so much a baby as a miniature big seal, precisely like the par ents in every way except in size. Not so with most babies, they are all heads, or all feet, and have to crawl befpre they walk. These baby seals swim as well as the grown-ups, they don't swim so much as just flow through the water. Took the subway down to Broad Street to see a cousin and get the latest dope on the war and the stock market. He may ! not always know the real low-down, but he always THINKS lie I does, and it is a particular pleasure at such a critical time as j tnis to talk with people who have no doubts regarding the 1 future, it's going to be this, and it ISN'T going to be that. ! Here is his idea condensed : "Great Britain will not be crushed by Hitler, but will be rescued by Soviet Russia from abort time Germanv and Italy at peace with both England and timers real aim is not wesiwara out easiwara, not against i.uk land, but Russia, and England, in spite of all its big talk, will make pea?e with Germany on a favorable basis, agreeing to back Der Fuehrer against Stalin, or if not that agreeing not to OPPOSE Germany, as far as its penetration toward the Ukraine and Constantinople is concerned." Therefore, it's a good time to buy blue-chip stocks at prices based upon the assumption Great Britain will collapse. (Note to Mel Hogan: This is sent as a matter of general information, obtained from sources believed to be accurate, but nothing contained herein is to be interpreted as an offer for a solicita tion to buy or sell securities!) The above view is not sustained by the two local newspaper men we have talked with, just special writers, not war cor respondents. They are frankly DEFEATISTS, believe Ger many will do to England precisely what she did to France in not less than four weeks, and then and not until then will she turn her attention to the "Bear that walks like a man."

TIME TO Three out of four persons who develop diabetes are overweight at the time and have been over- weight for ten j years Defore j the diabetes is discovered. If you are toting around twenty pounds of slacker flesh, thanks to your bad habit of In dulging appe tite after hun ger has been satisfied, don't worry about it. It doesn't mean you are bound to develop diabetes In a little while. If all of us who are too fond of carbohydrates or even half of us were doomed to de velop diabetes, the monopoly on the making and sale of insulin would terminate pronto, for even Uncle Sam would hardly have the temerity to permit the majority of adult citizens to b so exploited by the owners of a patent. A patent, believe it or not, sanctioned and defended by the politicians who have gained control of the American Medical Association notwithstanding Sec. 3, Art. 1, Chap. Ill of the Amer ican Medical Associations own written Code of Medical Ethics which says "It is unprofessional to receive remuneration from patents for surgical instrument? or medicines. Whatever insidious accumula tion of surplus or slacker flesh after thirty may signify in re spect to longevity and the in surance companies find that it is not favorable it is a de plorable tendency In any one, from any point of view, least of all in its effect on good looks, comfort and peace of mind Gradual gain in weight in the decade after thirty is particu larly unfortunate if you know of any instance of diabetes In your family history. Individuals growing stout in their thirties should bear in mind that only two generations ago a good many cases of dia betes escaped recognition be cause people generally did not consult a doctor until they were unmistakably on the down grade, and even then too often the doctor made a good guess as to the cause of the "run down" condition, prescribed a "tonic" and dismissed tne pa tient without even a routine ur THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER Rlasod by th North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.

So fr the inheritance I of the djseafe OT tne t(.ndencv is concerned, the best rule is to play safe and assume that very likely there has been some di abetes in the family even if there is no positive record of it just as one should assume that there has been cancer in the family at one time or another, whether cancer or a tendency thereto is inherited or not. Can cer is common enough to touch every family sooner or later. The time to reduce, regardless of the question of diabetes, is five to ten years before you 'have to go on a diet". It is a great deal easier to keep ten per cent excess fat off than it is to get rid of it after you have piled it on. So if you are acquiring a corporation now is tho time to revise your way of living. Com paratively slight changes now will prove more effective than radical and hard restrictions later on. I suggest these three sane and simple rules: 1. Satisfy hunger, but let ap petite wait. 1 2. Large salad (greens, raw vegetables, fruits) as first course of every dinner. 3. No dessert, except ' fresh iruu in season. QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS. Diet and Acne. Have always pointed to you aa an authority who aaya diet haa nothing to do with acne.

No auch maaa move ment la now In proepect. Only one English boat a week la bringing refugee children to thla country, and only two to Canada. Even the at vessels' tragically Inade quate accommodations are not fully used. In the nrat place th English government hsa not brought home the problem of the children to their people. In the second the American government Is still enforcing an Im migration system designed not to welcome little children in dire danger of brutal death, but to exclude un desirable allena. On the present system, any refugee child mutt find an American who la willing to offer a aworn guarantee to support the child until the age of alxteen, to glee financial references of a very aubstantta. kind, and to show some reason, such aa friendship with the child's parenu, for wlahlng to undertake the responsibility of the chlld'a car. Unless these prerequi sites ar met, the child Is denied an American visa. Furthermore, unleaa the child's parenu ar rich enough to pay the ocean passage th chlld'a guarantors must put up this money also, since th Immigration lawa forbid th chll dran'a passage to be paid by an agency of th Engllah government. Katurally, under auch a ayatera. only th Incredibly fortunau few among th children of England can obuin entry Into the United Bute.
