EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) you one package for two bits per. But you can't - depend on It. There are vague stories of fur tive individuals lurking in the shadows who are willing to part with a carton for a price, but they don't seem to deal with strangers. Cigarettes' are ust plain scarce. Even the members of congress, who have their own nice little restaurant in the base' ment .of the Capitol and their own. private subway lor going back and forth without getting their feet wet seem to be as hard up for cigarettes as anyone else. STILL this strange fact is ap parent here as elsewhere. Nobody . seems to be GOING WITHOUT SMOKES. You see very few rolling their own. Pipes appear to be no more numerous than in other times. The smoke filled rooms are still filled with smoke, and most of it is still cigarette smoke.' There are mysteries In the modern world, and this is one of them. TJOUSEHOLD help,, here In the upper fringes of the deep South, is as scarce and as exotic as everywhere. This writer had dinner the other night with a friend in Alexandria. He and his wife are doing the housework have been doing it for quite a while and expect to be doing it for some time to come. rteason: o help available at ANY Dnce. In the course of the evening we called another friend on the phone to suggest that he drop over lor. a little light conversa tion. He just couldn't make it, he said' regretfully.-as he was taking care of his granddaughter while ' his - daughter and her back-f r o m-the-w a r s husband were out to a show. "I really needed to go back to the office tonight myself," he explained, "but we just can't get any help at all, even baby-sitters. So I'm doing the Job." THIS, please remember, oc- curred in Alexandria, just over the Potomac in Virginia from Washington, If help is utterly unobtainable In Alex andria, it's little wonder that it's scarce elsewhere. At High School Hugh Vin dal, overseas Red Cross direc tor, will speak at the high school this evening, answering questions regarding servicemen on leave in other countries. The public is invited to this meeting.

Stockman Works On Fertiiixer Shortage Here Word has been received from Representative Lowell Stock man in Washington by the chamber of commerce regarding fertilizer allotments in the Klamath basin area. In response to inquiries from County" Agricultural Agent C. A. Henderson, Stockman stated that he has spent considerable time contacting officials of the agricultural adjustment admin istration, the war food adminis tration and the war production board with the object of secur ing an increase of fertilizer. Each of the agencies contact ed, says Stockman, seemed co operative, but are limited by war and navy departments in amounts of materials available. It may be that as soon as Ger many "cracks," the lid will be taken off restricted fertilizer production and the farmers will be able to get all of this com modity they need.

Brown, brings to mind all the dash and color of the old west, for Johnny is a striking figure who keeps fresh in our mumorlei the romance of those early days of the pioneers who nuide this the country it is today. But to moot Johnny Mack Brown personally Is an added pleasure in itself. Besides being handsomo and possessing a mag netic vitality which only comes from clean, right living, ho is u true southern gentleman, courto ous mid kind. His firm hand shake mid sincere smllo Imme diately puts anyone at ease. Johnny is truly from the south, Dotluin, Ala., being his home town. There lie attended high school, colk-go and tho Uni versity of Alabama. Ho looks back with pleasure upon his football days there. His last game was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., against the University of Washington. The game was won by Alabama. He went back homo as assist ant coach at tho University of Alabama, where ho married "the most wonderful woman In the world." Ho also won anoth er championship that year. When Johnny speaks of his wife, who was Frances Cornelia Foster, the daughter of Judge Henry Bacon Foster, and his family of three children, his faco lights up happily. Jane Harriet is utmost 15, John Lachliiu, 11, and little Cynthia Foster, 0. Tho University of Alabama was playing Kentucky at Birm ingham at tho time "Men of Steel" was being made there, as they used the big steel mills in the picture. The cast included Milton Sills, Mao Allison and Doris Kenyon. That was where Johnny met George Fawcett. The two struck u u a lasting friendship, Faw cett became Interested, saying he thought Johnny would screen well. When Johnny came back to tho Rose Bowl as coach, they got together again, Johnny took some tests, and thus began his career In films. His first picture was with Marion Davles In "The Fair' Coed," and tho second and third with Joan Crawford, men two, with Greta Garbo. followed by one with Mary Pickford. Then he started making west erns and has been making them ever since, and has a lot of fun doing It. , ' Johnny says (hat above all else, the secret to happiness and success is always trying to do tho right thing. "Of course." ho said, smilingly, "I believe in taking advantago of opportuni ties coming my way." He has dreams and ambitions, but doesn't fret if sometimes they come tumbling down. Instead he has learned that very often things turn out much better than he planned. Faith In tho 'One Higher Up' Is what it takes, he says. $23 Billion For Navy Asked by President WASHINGTON, March 13 (P) President Roosevelt asked con gress today to anoroprlate $23.- 719.153,050 for the navy for the fiscal year iims-48.
