Upstate Democrats are still
running a high fever, trying to
nominate a candidate to fill a
Congressional vacancy. They at
tempted to hold an "assembly"
at Salem Saturday. A Portland
legislator sang, 'The More We
Get Together the Happier We
Will Be," after which they were
still short 150 delegates, to have
a sufficient number to make the
proceedings legal. The national
anthem, and "When Irish Eyes
Are Smiling," were also execut
ed without favorable results. In
asmuch aa the magic of song,
and the memory of now defunct
New Deal notions flrzled, there
Is nothing to do, but have the
former Boy-Mayor of K. Falls

"Making peace Is a prosnlc

Boston, Mass., Dec. 14 Haven't found out why, but there are
more $2 paper bills in Boston than anywhere else.

The weather continues "invigorating." Yesterday the tner
cury went down to zero and liked it so well It never got over 15
above. The ponds In the Commons and Fenway are frozen solid,
the ducks have disappeared and In the former the City Hall Is
borrowing money to put up a large illuminated Christmas treel
"Si-e-lent nightl"
In the summer the subway Is cool and m the winter it Is
warm at least much warmer than the temperature outdoors.
Down there one also escapes the N.E. wind. The people here
don't like the 10-cent fare, in the N. Y. subway It is still a nickel,
but we don't know where one can get more for his dime than
riding in the subway, In this freezing weather.

If one shops around a bit Delicious apples from Washington
can be found (it requires some foot work) three for a quarter.
Considering the eastern apple competition that is cheap. The
eastern Baldwins being sold here now wouldn't rate as culls on
the coast, misshapen, bruised, discolored, a terrible mess. At
this rate the time may come when pulling out apple trees may not
appear as smart as It once did in the R. R. valley.
e e a e e
At the same market where we found the ."Delicious" there
were marvelous Indian River grapefruit from Florida, and beauti
ful, they ARE beautiful, deep sea lobsters from Maine. One
of the latter (boiled) a bright red could be purchased for 75 cents,
In any good restaurant in N. Y, the same would bring between
two and three dollars, no extra cost except transportation and a
dash of mayonnaise.
We have always had a very high regard for General Mar
shall, and still have, but to date his testimony before the Pearl
Harbor committee to us has been extremely disappointing. He
has almost entirely lacked the forthrightness and bigness of spirit
that we expected, though we grant there is still time for him to
exhibit same.
There is only one kind of fish outside of brook trout we really
relish that Is sword-fish. Which Is not a matter of any great
moment, except perhaps to the sword-fish in the Pacific ocean,
If any. For if there are "sich," we Intend on our return to shoot
a few on our next trip to Bandon.

Called on some old friends living on Commonwealth avenue
near the old "Vic" who deplored
slums . (Looked like pretty fancy slums to us, particularly be
fore a brisk log-fire in the spacious living room.) But no doubt
that Is true In a sense, and the motor car Is chiefly responsible.
Why live cooped up in a solid block of brick and stone when one
can live In the country, amid trees and flowers and clean fresh air,
coming to the city only on business? The young married people
who used to start housekeeping
doubt, in places like Brookllne, Concord, Milton, Dedham and
what have you. And the young married people of today set the
pace for tomorrow.
Speaking of clean, fresh air, Boston doesn't LOOK dirty, but
It must be. It is possible to wear a white shirt more than one
day, but NOT a clean one. (Which makes the prompt service of
Boston laundries more mysterious than ever).
a a a
We have never seen traffic cops such as Boston boasts any
where else in the U.S.A. They are almost all large red-faced Irish
men, they blow their whistles and swing their arms, not when they
wish the cars to stop but when they wish them to go ahead. They
are dressed up like large, Inflated editions of toy-soldiers, huge,
white belts around their ample waists, double Sam Browne belts
criss-crossed over their protruding chests, also chnlk-whlte, and
over-size white gloves. (At least this is the get-up at sundown.)
Like traffic cops in Singapore they don't stand at the street Inter
sections, but occupy little wooden pulpits, placed In the pave
ment's geographical center, we wouldn't care to be driving a
Jalopy that ran Into one of them! R.W.R.

At last reports veterans were
recnlisting in the army at the
rate of over 2,000 a day. For
many young fellows this looks
like a smart move. Take a first
sergeant. He will get $130 a
month starting base pay, plus
food, lodging, clothing and med
ical care. How much a week do
you figure that Is worth consid
ering the high cost of living?
Around $50 a week I would say.
Not bad. Besides, If a fellow has
been In the army six months he
only has to enlist for one year.
In that year he could learn a
trade and be In line to earn the
high wages of a skilled worker
when reconversion has really
started.
Fur Coat Record
Dispatch says a thief entered
Theatrical Producer Mike
Todd's apartment and stole
among other things "11 of Mrs.
Todd's fur coats." I suppose that
was all the fur coats the crook
could carry. Wonder how many
Mrs. Todd has in all? Shows
how fur wrong I was. I thought
Jean Dalrymple, who has six
mink coats, held the Broadway
record for fur coat ownership.
Mules It Men
"Recently married for the sec
ond time. My first marriage
lasted 20 years so I learned plen
ty about men." So writes a Chi
ragoan. The lady does not detail
what she learned about men in
20 years of marriage. That
could be Interesting. Still how
much con a woman learn about
men In Rcneral by being mar
ried to one man 20 years? Wom
en married a long time usually
know a lot about their husband
but not much about men in gen
eral. What a woman learned In 20
years with ono man might not
be of much assistance in hand
ling a second husband. Every
man needs Individual study.
What might please one man will
drive another wild. Our Mules
& Men department experts will
comment on this angle from
time to time In the interests of
any of our subscribers who may
the fact they now live in the
in the Back Bay now do so, no
MM, ,
contemplate taking a second
husband.
Says He
"Regarding keeping military
titles in civilian life, the more
Intelligent ex-army officers will
certainly not do it," writes a
Pittsburgcr. "However, many
officers will do so for political
or business reasons or Just stu
pid vanity. I am an ex-GI and
on the basis of personal knowl
edge know that over half the
Gl's regard the average army
officer as a type of louse."
Passing By
Lou Nova. The genteel heavy
weight boxer. Lou is the son of
a concert pianist. He is married
to the daughter of a college pro
fessor. If he had a stronger chin
he might have been the cham
pion of the world. . . . Leland
Hayward. Stage producer. Also
a play broker, actors' agent, film
producer and the husband of
Margoret Sullavan. Mr. Hay
ward's new production "Portrait
in Black" is described as "a
psychological melodrama." The
Hollywoodlans and Broadway
ltcs are going for that "psycho
logical" angle In a large way.
What started it "Angel Street"
or "Lady In the Dark"?
Asking
Query from client: Q. Why do
you Ignore Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.
22) women? How about us?
Speak frankly, Eddie, we can
take It. A. Scorpio females are
usually "it" or "oomph" types.
They have plenty of what it
takes to make the boys whistle,
lledy Lamarr is Scorpio born.
The Scorpians are depressed and
moody when not In love. Also
temperamental, Inclined to Jeal
ousy and hot tempered. When
aroused they throw things and
slap faces. When mildly Irritat
ed they pout and sulk. They are
loyal and when really in love
can be handled all right by a
man of strong character provid
ed he has unlimited patience.
That's what the storgazers say
about Scorpios. This, of course,
is not necessarily the opinion of
our Horses & Women experts.
Briefly
The name of a UCLA coed is
"Be Hio Mac Walling." Don't
know how Miss Waiting's Mama
and Papa gave her that name
but would like to. . , Ed Os

Francisco, a 70-mile round trip,
six days a week for 41 years.

' When Grandma was a Whis-
Ue Girl and Grandpa was a
Wolf." That's the title of a song
Wilma Thone says she is writ
ing. . . . Baltimorean states 88
per cent of residents of his city
were born in this country and
adds: "A stogie says you can't
name a city with a higher per
centage of American born resi
dents." How about Dallas,
Texas?
Loving Wife
Am asked what I think of a
wife who has dutifully cut her
husband's hair every week for
25 years. She must be quite a
loving wife. But, of course, I
couldn't decide If her husband
is a lucky man until I saw a
snapshot of one of the haircuts
his obliging spouse gave him.
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Dec. 18 The
written promises of the peace
are unfulfilled. The yearnings
of the people
for a world
u n 1 f 1 ed in a
d e m o c r atic
and freedom
loving organi
zation to keep
the peace in
our time have
been put into
treaties and
i m p lemented
with machin
eaui Mainin
ery, we nave
t h e Atlantic
charter, Casablanca, Quebec,
Yalta, Potsdam agreements and
a United Nations organization.
But we do not have peace.
The words are not being activat
ed. The machinery is not work
ing. Revolutions are continuing
the killing around the world.
There is free talk of a third
world war for the future,
a a a
IT takes two to make peace;
nnlv nn tn mnlrja mar Tkn
private word of friends of State
Secretary Byrnes' is that he went
to Moscow for a final effort to
get Russia to cooperate with the
United Nations ideal.
Unless Molotov appears at the
first UNO assembly meeting in
London January 7 and works
co-operatively there the world
will know Moscow has rejected
our way for the postwar world.
A crisis which will bring In
evitable future events of grave
world consequence has reached
Its underlying apex behind this
trip.
Now how did we get this
way? If we are to extricate our
selves and the world from its
dilemma, we must clear our
eyes and look objectively and
realistically at the facts.'
You can start with ' the pas
sionate desire of this nation for
an end of the killing. Mothers
arc outraged that their' sons are
not home from the foreign war
for this Christmas.
We pretended to think all we
had to do was to win this war,
stamp out fascist aggression and
there would be peace. Our war
p r o p a g a nda was exclusively
framed that way. It was good
war propaganda, but it was not
realistic.
We really knew what these
other nations represented, their
ideals and ambitions; but we
pretended we did not; we pre
tended victory in the field would
bring victory for our earned
hopes for the peace. We want
to blame someone because our
hopes have not been fulfilled.
Popular public pressure is thus
working against the tedious task
of harmonizing what we all rec
ognized before the war as hope
less conflicts.
a a
WE got this way, furthermore,
because of the manner In
which we got Into the war. . It
was a rather unrealistic basis.
Mr. Roosevelt's working theory
quite plainly clung to the belief
that the people had to be led up
drawn reluctantly to what was
their war duty.
The basic fact of the matter
was that Hitler and Japan In
tended to conquer the world.
We were in the world. We could
not escape war.
Instead of teaching our people
these basic fundamentals, . we
went into a propaganda about
world freedoms, Individual lib
erty for all people, fair irade.
free skies things which never
existed before and about which
our allies had their'own ideas.
a a a
MOW let us look at this thing
plainly and honestly. There
has been no evidence in events
that Britain and Russia truly
wanted the same thing out of
this war that we did.
Always Mr. Roscvelt had to
go to them, make concessions,
then come out with agreed
words which bore the nature of
something not entirely whole
hearted, if voluntary.
Churchill wished to get us In
to the war, but the Atlantic
charter was not greatly imple
mented by him at home (India,
Burma, Egypt, etc.).
For her part, Russia clearly
never thought of England, the
Baltic nations. Poland, the Bal
kans In the light of the Atlantic
charter.
Britain was Imperialist In her
way; Russia even more imperi
alistic in hers. The conquest of
Berlin was delayed from the
Mi
east until the Balkans were oc
cupied by Russia.
a a a
MOW as to Russia's part in the
war. Our people'are still un
der the spell of our propaganda
on this also. Russia never ex
cused the war to her own people
on any other ground than that
she was invaded by the fascist
hordes and this was the time to
kill fascism. They won because
of no superior military arrange
ment, but for two reasons only:
(a) Hitler's colossal blunder
of casting his limited manpower
into a vast area, the space of
which had always been its safe
guard from conquest through
out history, ana (D) rlussia s un
limited manpower; when five
were killed, ten took their place.
Russian planes, weapons or
politics were in no way supe
rior, or even equal, iney carea
nothing for us. or our charters;
they were anti-capitalist, anti
democratic, and would have
won on their own, without our
assistance, although at the cost
of more millions of men.
That is how we got this way
Stripped of pretense, these are
the elements of our predica
ment, and the world s. From
these considerations must future
events spring.
