Anent the costly and mysterl
out fires, blasts and accidents
besetting and occurring with
painful regularity to defense
plants and their products, it 1
more than odd that nothing legal
or criminal ever happens to a
Communist Hall, of which there
are too many. They don't even
have a flue fire while burning
up tha evidence.

I roll my pants up to my knees

A Virginia senator calls upon
the President to remove Madame
Perkins as secretary of labor,
or divorce her office from the
power to certify strikes to the
mediation board. This Is asking
too much, and the best forlorn
hope In many a day.

The Kaiser Is Dead, Long Live-!
"THE Kaiser is dead, long live the FUEHRER!"
Yes, as ex-Emperor Wilhelm passes away at
Doom, the militant nationalistic supremely ego
istic spirit he embodied is carried on in the person of
an ex-paper hanger with a Charlie uiaplin mustacnei
' So not onlv in western democracies, the NEW
world, do great changes occur in the lives of indi
viduals. When old social and economic foundations
are shattered by revolutionary earthquakes they also
occur among the ruins of the old !
IT is quite proper and fitting, therefore, that Per
Reichsfuehrer should halt a few moments in transit
from the conference with II Duce at Brenner pass,
and his General Headquarters, to pay his profound
respects to his belligerent and royal predecessor, and
see that he is accorded the military honors befitting
the leader of World War No. I, who had the great
good fortune to depart this life at the apex of German
success before the close of World War No. II.
YES, whatever the scroll of impartial history may
record, and one must wait at least two more
decades for that, the Kaiser was a very lucky man.
He was able to call it a day at exactly the proper
psychological time.
For he lived to see the frustrated dream of his own
career come true ; he lived to see his one overwhelm
ing heart's desire, "Germany Uber Alles" become a
reality and far beyond the allotted three-score-and-ten
he was able to enjoy his long-delayed revenge.
FEW figures in history, indeed, who rose as high as
the German Kaiser, and, officially speaKing, de
scended so low, ever lived to see so many of their
hopes finally realized, departed this life with so little
bitterness and so much self-satisfaction.
For that "Germany Uber Alles" refrain was the
Kaiser's life's theme, and because Herr Hitler appro
priated it, and even elaborated it with Nordic trum
pets that made again the ancient halls of Valhalla
ring, the former Kaiser became not only in spirit but
in fact a good Nazi, and so will be acclaimed when
the royal funeral march begins.
SUCH a situation should certainly dispel what Hiu
cinno cf ill ovist rpo-jirrlinp- the social liberalism of
the Nazi doctrine, for Per Reichsfuehrer believes in
a master-and-slave state precisely as did the last
leader of the ancient house of Hohenzollem.
The delusion of a new world order, and a better
one persists in Central Europe, as it has in Soviet
Russia for so long; when in both instances the tyranny
of a royal autocracy has been exceeded in its cruelty
and oppression by the tyranny of a pagan personal
despotism.

Colonial Gravavard
Wilmington. Del. IU " A fur

this section.
The Perkins Mystery
F there has ever been a satisfactory explanation of
whv "Madam" Perkins is continued as Secretary
of Labor, it has never come to our attention.
She is an old and cherished friend of Aire, uoose-
velfs but the "First Lady of the Land' has many
old and cherished friends, and none of them have
been allowed to become hopeless barnacles on the
hull of the ship-of-state.
She is also a trood friend of the President's, but
the rise and fall of F.D.R.'s "good friends" have been
an outstanding feature of his two and an eighth terms.
So it can't be the personal factor alone that
keeps the only "lady cabinet member" glued to her
post for lo these many years.
What IS it then?
ORGANIZED labor doesn't like her, at least a
large section of it, and certain Federation offic
ials have so expressed themselves.
Certainly business, big or little. has no use for
the wearer of the black tricorn.
And if she had proved to be the most efficient
labor representative in recent years, which she cer
tainly has NOT, in view of her general unpopu
larity and the undeniable loss of public confidence,
it would seem only desirable, from the national wel
fare standpoint, to regard a two-term reign as suf
ficient, and not venture upon a THIRD. In short, in
ject some new and preferably non-feminine blood
into the extremely important department of labor.
DUT there she i?, going her complacent and doc-
trinaire way. and in spite of Senator Byrd's
various and sundry efforts to dislodge her. it looks
as though there she would remain, as long as the
Roosevelt administration does.
a a
IT is all very curious. No President in modern history
has had his ear closer to the political ground than
the present master of the White House. He must
realize Hugh Johnson's "mudum" is politically a lia
bility and getting steadily more so as time goes on.
Can it be that Mrs. Perkins is so insensitive to the
true situation she has never offered to resign, and
President Roosevelt hasn't the heart to ask such an
old friend of the family to take such action?
That seems highly improbable, and yet it is the
ionly explanation to make any sense, we have seen.
Probably the all-time record
is still held by the man who re
duced 20 pounds In seven hours
in a sweat
bath. Ha took
the bath walk
ing, in the des
ert sun, when
the tempera
ture in the
shade was 104
degrees T. In
the course of
the seven
hours he drank
13 pounds, a
little more
than 1 V4 gal
lons, of water, so his net loss
amounted to seven pounds.
I haven't the actual data to
prove it, but I'd be willing to
wager ten to one that the man
regained the weight so lost with
in the succeeding 30 hours. That
Is what practically always hap
pens when any appreciable loss
of weight is achieved by sweat
ing the weight of water and
salt excreted in the sweat is re
placed within the next day or
so by increased intake in water
and salt. And practically, while
we're on the subject, that is all
there is in sweat in any cir
cumstance or state of health
water and salt. Nothing "toxic"
or poisonous to speak of or wor
ry about. The skin is not an
excretory organ and only an in
significant amount of waste mat
ter, other than water and salt,
is ever "thrown off" by the body
through the skin, no matter
what the state of health or what
illness the individual has. Nor
does the skin ever "breathe" or
require air or oxygen or absorb
oxygen or give off carbon diox
ide. Romantic legends to the
contrary notwithstanding. And
finally, at least to the best of
my knowledge and belief, the
unbroken skin never absorbs
anything and please don't send
me clippings of items telling
of the miraculous new food or
medicine which Is administered
by merely applying on the skin.
Plenty of things, both old time
medical concoctions and recent
nostrums, are so administered,
but that Is not proof that the
substance is absorbed thru the
skin. If the substance has an
odor anyone knows how he is
absorbing It. If It has no odor,
the unsophisticated customer
may believe It is going in thru
the skin.
A man of sixty, with a bad
heart, high blood pressure and
divers other pathological condi
tions, doesn't believe in the
value of a reasonable amount
of exercise daily, thinks it is
nonsense, drinks, as he Insists,
only moderately as I think,
even a minimum amount Is in
jurious to a person In his condi
tion and eats like an honest
working man. He keeps piHnc
on slacker flesh. When cau
tioned about it he says that
doesn't worry him, for when he
gets time he'll go and have It
sweated and massaged off. Well
maybe at sixty the poor fellow
is reconciled to his fate. But in
his attitude towards the need of
reducing there is a familiar ring
Most men and women who are
conscious of encroaching obesity
take similar attitude. Cer
tainly they intend to reduce
and they are going on a diet
presently, and that is as far as
the good intention goes.
It is far more satisfactory from
every point of view to remain
constantly on a reasonable and
not difficult diet than it is to go
on a rigid one even for a limited
time.

last two years will be utterly
defeated. He will find his niche
In history as one of the great
failures. And if German victory
is as inimical as he and most
other informed men suppose,
the country will soon be over
taken by catastrophe.
"TTHESE are obvious facts, as-
suming the president's ad
visers are correct In their Judg
ment of the urgency of the war
situation. In the light of them.
It is easy to see why all the sec-1 the
ondary obstacles to action have
ceased to be really important.
Giving due weight to the presi
dent's penchant for doing a Job
the smart way, it is also easy 10
see why the primary obstacle re-
mains to be surmounted. If the
Germans can only be persuaded
to shoot first, then they will
have the major share of respon
sibility for what follows. Thati
is what appears to be in the pre-1
sident s mind.
Furthermore, It seems to have
co-existed in the president's
mind with recognition of the
need for prompt action for some
time past. As long as two
months ago, he acknowledged to
the intimates whom he Invited
to Join him on his yachting holi
day after passage of the lend
lease bill, that the war could
not be won without American
intervention. At the same time
he said that he could not Inter
vene without an Incident to give
him the signal.
The two thoughts, mutually
Inconsistent though they may
seem, still co-exist in his mind
today. In the past weeks, he
has been repeatedly urged to
order immediate action. He has
been warned that rtolay was
to court disaster. He has been
able to act, for all the necessary
preparations for meeting the
German threat In the battle of
the Atlantic have at last been
completed. Yet he has not
acted, because he hopes to drive
the Germans into shooting first.
DERHAPS, instead of depend-
ing on one simple question
the future may depend on two.
The men around the president
are now united in attempting to
persuade him to order action out
of hand, without waiting for a
pretext. If they fail, if the pre
sident's determination is not
weakened by the remorseless
logic of events, then a second
question will have to be
answered. Will the president's
plan succeed?
The problem was mentioned
in this space in a recent discus
sion of the Atlantic patrol, in
which it was pointed out that
the president and the men
around him privately hope the
patrol will produce an incident.
The patrol is by no means the
only expedient, moreover, which
the president has at his disposal.
He can take several additional
measures to meet the German
threat in the Atlantic, perhaps
even ordering the navy to under
take the task of active shipping
protection, but leaving it to the
Germans to resist. He can order
preventive occupation of the At
lantic bases, both north and
south. It will be as disagree
able to the Germans to find the
Americans instead of the British
In Iceland, as to find the Amerl
cans at Dakar.
a
DUT the difficulty with all
" these expedients, and with
the president's basic plan still
remains. Because this country
has taken each step too late.
Britain has now been so weak
ened that even If the goods are
delivered, the British have too
little recuperative power to bear
the brunt of the fighting alone.
Because this country's active In
tervention would mean so much.
It is to Germany's advantage to
delay it as long as possible, and
no one can doubt the German
nigh command will do every
thing possible to avoid shooting
first.
The president's plan leaves
the Initiative to Germany, which
is a mode of procedure that has
cursed the democracies from the
start of the war. And if the
president sticks to his plan and
plan fails, the failure will
deeply affect not only the Im
mediate future, but also tha fate
of this country.
