the man who resolves to be bet

made better simply by this re

resolution or not. By the very
act of resolving, he admits he

either feels he can't be Improved
on or doesn't wish to make the
effort.
Personally, I'm vowing to be
a better housekeeper. I'll keep
a tidy house seven days a week
instead of a possible three. Ex
perience has taught me that cal
lers are malevolently psychis
and will call only on the days
when the house is in a muss.
Too, I've resolved to wash on
Monday instead of Wednesday;
or maybe Saturday afternoon.
And I'll iron the. next day
after I've sprinkled the clothes
instead of waiting until I fear
they're mildewed and so shake
them out, dry them, re-sprinkle.
ad infinitum. And I'll wash all
the kettles after every meal in
stead of putting the harder ones
to soak with the hypocritical
alibi that they'll be easier to
wash next time.
I'll put wood in the stove be
fore the fire goes out instead of
waiting until I have to start it
all over again. This resolve may
save my marriage from going on
the "you use too much kindling"
reef. Frank 1 has quaint Ideas
about kindling. You use it to
start the morning fires only.
After that, ' you're supposed to
keep a fire going with some
thing besides kindling. So far,
I've not mastered the technique.
Then during the coming year,
I'll talk less and think more.
This will not be taking advan
tage of my natural resources,
since I'm better equipped to talk
than I am to think. Which Is
why I sit more than I stand
I've so much more to sit with
than I have to stand on. -' -
Then ot course I'll make the
annual resolution which is that
during the following year I'll
not use slang. Slang and I have'
a natural affinity. Let me hear
a term Just. once, which has a
dash of spice in it not found in
my everyday .working vocabu
lary, and I adopt .it,, make it
mine. : :
Seriously,.. though, I like to
think of the hew year as giving
me a clean sheet on which to
write a more ideal self than 1 did
on the old one. As we grow
older, we have a tendency to
look back with nostalgia to our
youth. This is because we bad
a clean start; had not made a
mess of our lives.' The New
Year gives us an annual rebirth
Gives us a clean slate. We may
write on this what we will, for
we still have the power of self-
determination, whatever our age
So if you and I live long enough
and make enough resolutions we'
may turn out to be pretty nice
folk in time for our- final' ac
counting.

NAZI RAILWAYS
SEEN BREAKING
Allied Air Attacks Strain
Transportation System
Locomotives Smashed.
By Joseph A. Grlgg, Jr.
(United Press Correspondent)
London (U.R) Germany's
transportation system may suf
fer a near-breakdown in the
next six months and prove a
major .factor In her 'defeat,
British economic experts pre
dicted today. ;
The railroads supplying her
hard-pressed armies In Russia
and Italy already are strained
almost to breaking point, ac
cording to reliable reports
reaching here.
British and American air at
tacks on the reich's main com
munications centers have cre
ated chaotic conditions on the
railroads and knocked out or
seriously damaged some 1,500,
000 tons of shipping In the past
two years, these reports added.
Persistent cannon and machine-gun
attacks by RAF
fighters on German trains in
occupied France and the low
countries were estimated to be
smashing up some 150 locomo
tives a month. Reliable reports
reaching here indicated the
German railroads now are short
of 8,000 locomotives and 200,000
freight cars. "
Many of the reich's major
railroad marshaling yards and
repair shops were devastated by
British and American air. raids
this summer.
Three-fourths of ' the big
Waggon Fabrik Talbot rolling
stock plant at Aachen was de
stroyed in a raid on July 13.
Three major attacks on Cologne
In July and August did vast
damage to the railroad work
shops at Nlppes and the mar
shaling yards at 'Muelhelm,
Kalk and Deutz. The Allied
air forces have systematically
attacked rolling stocks works at
Munich, Essen, Augsburg, Ber
lin, Liege and othv important
centers in Germany and occu
pied Europe.
Even conservative experts
here believe if these attacks
continue on the present scale
the whole Axis transportation
network could be brought to
something like a standstill In
the measurable future.
Ever since 1033 the Nazis
have neglected Germany's rail
roads. It was estimated she
entered the war with a 20 per
cent rolling stock deficit
The Nazi authorities sought
to remedy this situation by de
nuding "each occupied country
of the greater part of Its loco
motives and rolling stock. Ex
perts reported about ,uou
French locomotives and tens of
thousands of French freight cars
now are in Germany itself,
working solely for the German
State railways. This reserve.
however, probably has been ex
hausted by now. '
A year ago, in view of the in
creasing shortage of rolling
stock, the German State rail
ways ordered every freight car
to be loaded two tons above the
normal .maximum. ' . Damage
caused as a result of this regu
lation was so extensive that it
was rescinded in June this year,
but recently a new 'order was
issued for overloading by one
ton for each freight cor.

Germans had two locomotives
for every 13 miles of track.
Today, according to reliable esti
mates, they have less than one
for every 1.6 miles.
A year ago the Nazis attempt
ed to meet the increasingly
dangerous shortage) by boosting
locomotives construction to an
A-l priority. Plans were draft
ed for building up so-called
"utility" or simplified locomo
tives. ; This year the .building pro
gram was stepped up further to
provide for building 6,000 to
7,000 locomotives, but the pro
gram was thrown completely
out of gear by Intensive bomb
ing of Ruhr factories. Latest
reports indicated the program
would come nowhere near be
ing met
It was estimated Germany
will need 12,000 to 19,000 new
locomotives during the current
year and that production scarce
ly will reach 3,000., The exist
ing deficit already was placed
at 8,000.
