Atlanta, Ye Smudge Pot By Aithui Parry The distinguished American architect who designed the al legedly "quake proof buildings of modern Tokyo, commends tne Japanese as gluttons (or punish ment, and a stoical people no end. He states: "Tokyo has been destroyed five times, and could be destroyed five times more without bothering the Japan ese." After Tokyo has been de stroyed for the tenth - time, as predicted, It is probable the stoicism of citizens able to drag themselves out of the debris, would begin to weaken and say: Hon. . Earthquake most too much. Good for he. 'Goodbye, please!' !

PIONEER DISCIPLINE "There is, beyond Milton,, a school district which has been the terror of all teachers Who have been contracted te teach there, and in nearly every in stance in the past the master has been mastered by the ouplls ana has been compelled to close his books and make hurried exit for more peaceful parts. Certain boys have been supposed to carry pistols and some teachers obiected to carrying leaden bul lets in their bodies. The other dav Charles Howard was the fount of authority and was draw. ina nay as a teacher. A boy wouldn't mind "You may come forward, sir," said the teacher. Winklne at his chums, the boy advanced and the teacher stepped down from the platform with a oroveroiai rou in nana He was about to strike when five stalwart young fellows bounded forward. Just as they were about to lay hands on Mr. How. ard, he backed into the corner and deftlv drew from his pocket a pistol. That was an argument the young fellows could under stand. With pistol in one hand and whip in the other the teach er administered the punishment It was a good orthodox thump- ing."

T out 01 urmoc ana me iNazis irom nageunauv WAR Bond buyers will be especially interested in noting the cost of individual weapons, and will take pride in the knowledge that their bonds are helping to foot the bills. To those who can afford a few extra bonds during the Sixth War Loan, the Infantry Show should emphasize the importance of placing the very finest of weapons in the hands of every fighting American.; The sobering reminder of the U. S. Treasury that this war is costing Uncle Sam which means "we the people" almost $10 million every hour should be added incentive for all out bond buying to hasten victory and secure the peace. THIS display of infantry weapons will actually be a "report to the people" upon scientific advance ment of our military arms, as far as the Army is con cerned. This.war on all fronts is entering the "infan try phase," in which combat infantrymen must, foot by foot and mile by mile, push the Germans toward Berlin and the Japs toward Tokyo. It will be inter esting to see the tools they will use to do the job I Buy Christmas Seals Buying Christmas Seals at this time of year to help finance the fight against tuberculosis has become so much a habit that it hardly seems necessary to again point out the importance of this annual sale. The public here has seen, and is thoroughly grateful, for the steady decrease in tuberculosis in Jackson County an achievement of the Jackson County Pub ic Health association financed, in a measure, by the proceeds from this yearly BUT there is need today UllU gVllVl Utfivj iHiM" TwV WbAVl VI V IllUt ing is often set aside in wartime. Crowded and in adequate housing, added worry and faster living are conducive to the spread of this dreaded disease a stealthy and dangerous fifth columnist striking with unrelenting and deadly effectiveness at America's manpower. Five hundred members of our armed forces are being discharged each month because of tuberculosis; 150.000 men and women have been re jected fbr military service aminations revealed the germ. e e e m THERE have been six steps in the gallant crusade , , against "consumption." First was Leeuwenhoek and the microscope, then Pasteur who told men that microbes caused disease. Robert Koch was the first to discover the germ of tuberculosis. Edward Trudeau, in his little red cottage in New York state, introduced the first tuberculosis sanitorium and then William Roentgen's X-ray enabled doctors to see the, very first signs of the disease. Experience has shown that tuberculosis is catch ing, is preventable, and can be cured if discovered in early stages. Deaths have steadily declined as public enlightenment has increased. The untiring work of the Jackson County Public Health association and 2,500 similar groups affiliated with the nation-wide Tuberculosis Association quering the deadly White DUT let us again emphasize the urgent need for in- "' APAnoarl sftf-rVvnf nvjl tmmia vnnriAif t nrow 4-iw rv UCaOCU tiiUl V Oil 14 lilUlQ UlUAlCjr ill wax bllUCe This is a critical moment in the long and heroic strug gle to stamp out tuberculosis. IT IS fortunate, indeed, that the disease has been held well in check in Jackson County during the war; It is possible, however, that many cases are de veloping but have not yet been discovered. That is why the Jackson County Public Health association is arranging for portable X-Ray equipment on a truck to visit this area during the ensuing year so that free examinations may be given right in our schools, mills and factories.

Gillette, D., Ia., to day demanded that the United States announce at once its peace alms based on the principles of trie Atlantic Charter. Making what may be his last senate speech on foreign policy, the Iowan whose term expires January 3 protested against what he termed "imperfect or restricted knowledge of the facts for our people. "We How confront a situation where the American people themselves are no longer sure of the goal for which they are fight ing," be said. Gillette praised the principles enunciated In the Atlantic Char- ter. But, he said there have been "ominous and disturbing expres sions of interpretations of pro visions of the charter which seem in large measure to distort, if not actuaUy to negate, the clear purposes and construction of its provisions. "At this very moment the bond of interest which has held us together through this war to the common end of victory over our enemies," 1 said, "shows signs of disintegrating before our eyes Into conflicting spheres of Influence."
