PART LE od Not Cake - Eaters But Meat - Eaters This Is Tough War and Will Be Won by Toughened Men No better speech will ever be made about this war than the one delivered in Detroit on Army Day by Lient.-Gen. Ben 'Lear, Com- mander of the United States Sec- end Army, says + The Windsor Star. He pt it up to the people in soldiers' language. It's a tough" war and it will be won by tough- ened men, who are not looking for easy victory, but who- realize the enemy will be subdued only after a hard struggle. He gave the people something to think abot when he said the soldiers are meat-caters, not cake- eaters, and that the loyalty of a person cannot be bought, It is impossible to pay soldiers all they are worth. But, they do not fight for money. They fight be- cause they love their country and they expect the people back home to support them in the battle. This is ne time for horsing around, pulling strikes or ex- ploiting workers. This is no time to be arguing over production, while soldiers in the field elamor for the weapons that should be produced. This is no time to try and squeeze out profits, when the men are shedding blood freely. This is the time when everyone has to quit petty wumrrels and bluffing and profiteering, whe- ther the profiteering be by em- ployer or employee. More specches like that by Gen. Lear ought to be made. And, they should be made to a lot of people who have come to think this war is Santa Claus. = . Abnormal Buying LET . Increases Scarcity ; rrr Why Hoarding is Harmful Explained by N. Y. Herald: Tribune. It is perhaps difficult for the Individual citizen to define his own relation to the threat of in- {lation aggravated by hoarding. He knows that there is a relation between hoarding and inflation-- that war creates a scarcity of consumer goods, that hoarding creates more scarcity, that scar- city sends prices up. On the other hand, the prudent citizen believes in putting something away for a rainy day, in kecping his pantry and his clothes closet stocked. part of his earnings, and, be- cause he is thrifty, tends to meet the threat of inflation by turning his "money savings into tangible, non-perishable goods." But now if he buys beyond his normal needs he aggravates the scarcity of goods created by war demands; he contributes to fear on the part of his neighbors lest if they do not buy 'also there will be nothing to buy. Prudent citizens all behaving in the same manner start a stampede for goods such _ 88 we have seen for stockings and sugar. To stem the stampede and curb the inflationary move- ment, which is a danger second- ary only to that of an ene victory, the government, alreally overburdened, must add to its burdens an expensive and comp- Jicated rationing system. The "black markets" evil, known to every country which has been at war for some. time is, almost in- variably, -next-fn order. Only One Answer i Only the consumers themselves, each individual restricting him- self, persuasively restricting his neighbor, can avert these evils. Retailers are camaigning to /dis- courage abnormal sales, and con- - sumers, led by such organizations as the Women's City Club, to dis- courage hoarding. The success of these campaigns rests with each Individual whose conscience must dictate whether, in the face of common danger, he is willing to share and share alike with. his vhich are scarce M he will consider © just long enough to weigh the sacrifices of bim against those made by him on the fight- ing fronts there can be no doubt what answer his conscience wil make, ' 3 : A New "Butter" A new "butter" developed by the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps can be shipped without re- xigeration 'and will resist temper- atures up to 110 degrees Fahren- heit.

Later they take 'a stroll around the deck, meet Rollins' friend, Captain Tees, who is introduced to Joan. Rollins is awakened later by an orderly, told to report to the colonel's quarters at once. There he is told that Captain Tees has just been murdered. . Ll . LIEUTENANT ROLLINS LIES CHAPTER V The Court of Investigation got underway in "B" lounge at 9 o'clock the morning of Captain Tees' murder. Colonel ~ Stephenson himself presided and, upon his invitation, the tribunal was completed with Captain Vincent Murdoch, a for- mer senior crown prosecutor of Toronto, and Licutenant Marry PAY LESS Calumet is priced sur- prisingly low, probably less than the baking powder you are now using. 2. a. vse 4 LESS Calumet's double action means double . leavening--during mix- ing and in the oven-- permitting you to use less. = 3 BETTER RESULYS Calumet's continnous * leavening means finer, better textured results for all your baking.

It will be conducted informally, and you are both urged to ask any pertinent questions I might omit, Bring in the first witness," Captain de Watt, medical offi- cer, testified that he had been summoned to "A" deck about 8 o'clock that morning, "I found Captain Tees lying just inside a door under a corri- dor light. 1 was informed by the orderly officer then on duty, Lieutenant Timmins, that he had found the captain on the deck. It was pitch black and due to blackout regulations he could not use his torch. They carried the captain inside and summoned me. "It was almost immediately ev- ident that Captain Tees was dead. His jugular artery had been pierced by some sharp instrument. The orderly officer showed me a blood-stained bayonet which ha claims to have found near the body, and while I have no means of proving definitely that this in- strument was the actual murder weapon, 1 do say that it could have been the murder weapon. "The deceased had been stab- bed in the throat. It was a strong plunge and . . ." Captain Murdoch interjected a query: "How did you establish the time of death?" "Oh, pardon me." The M. O. Japsed from his dull professional monotone and displayed enthusi- asm for the. first time. "I had re- ported verbally to the colonel shortly after the body was dis- covered and forgot that you were not aware of the details. 1 ar- rived at the conclusion from two findings. In the first place there was an absence of post-mortem lividity . . 0 ) : "Please explain," Lieutenant Miley. "By post-mortem lividity I mean the ashen hue of death which would normally pe evident in such a cold temperature with- in approximately four hours after death , . ." Captain de Watt looked at Miley who nodded. -- "The absence of "that lividity indicated that the deceased had died some time less than four hours before. My second finding was made after the orderly offi- cer described the position of the body as he found it. The deceased was lying face down on the deck with his arms beneath him. "I tested the armpits and found definite traces of warmth al- though the rest of the body was cold, quite cold. The armpit warmth, in® view of the body's _general coldness, told me the de- ceased had been dead quite some time less than four hours, The total absence of post-mortem lividity made the opinion definite. The stiffening' would indicate about two hours. So, putting everything together, I can posi- tively state that the murder must have occurred at or close to 1 ¢'clock--or two hours previous to my being summoned." Captain de Watt paused and Jooked at the three officers with a. tinge of. professional pride. "Your conclusion seems entir- ely logical," commented the col interrupted \ Cc l. "Now did you, by any chance, think of testing the victim to determine whether he had been drinking 7" "Yes, Sir, I conducted a test shortly afterwards if the surgery .of the ship's hospital , , "Please-describe that test, Doc- tor." / FA Captain de Watt shifted his position and began to describe in minute. detail the pathological tests- he conducted to ascertain. whether the victim had" been drinking. Even some of the more seasoned officers in the room were forced to wince occasionally, When he had finished his yivid description, the colonel inquired, "As a result of these tests, were you able to arrive at any definite conclusion?" WAS "Yes, Sir" : <0 "What was that conclusion?" "The deceased had positively not been intoxicated nor was there any cvdence of his having taken any aleoholic drink for sev- - eral hours previously," { Lance .Corporal Slater, owner of the bayonet that had figured in the killing, told his story in * forthright fashion, He had been on sentry duty on "A" deck until midnight. About 11:20 the ship's roll was sickening. him, and he had taken off his overcoat, hang- ing. his belt, and scabbard and bayonet attached over the deck railing. In plain battle dress, he 'had walked to the fore end where the lashing spray seemed ta help. him. He stood there for about 80 minutes before returning to where he had left his 'equipment. Then- he noticed the bayonet was missing, Thinking it had slid across the deck into the Arough by the rail, he went to look then noticed, for the first time, a man's figure in the shadow of a lifeboat, loudly and apparently the man-- he seemed to be an officer -- hadn't noticed the sentry, Slater, on the other hand, figured he might have to explain the lost bayonet by. admitting he hadn't been doing his full "rounds" and decided to let the bayonet go until first thing next morning. Four roommates of Slater's ¢ol- laborated that the sentry had re- turned to the cabin shortly after midnight and had been violently nauseated all night. Lieutenant Gregory Rollins was haggard--his usual zip seemed to have gone from his step as he marched into the lounge and sal- uted the court. "You were speaking to the late Captain Tees about 11:30 o'clock last night, right?" the tough col- onel spoke with astonishing gen- tleness. "Yes, Sir, I was 'getting a breath of air at the stern after playing in the bridge tournament and Captain Tees came along, jokingly asking whether 1 had ever heard of 'Lights Out.' We walked together to the nearest door and stood inside chatting for a couple of minutes before 1 left him, , ." "Pardon me, Mr. Rollins," Mur- doch interrupted, "but were you standing in the shadow of a life- boat while getting your breath of air." Rollins looked at his questioner curiously: "No, Captain, 1 walked directly from the door to the open space of 'A' deck at the stern. And Captain Tees and I walked direct- ly from the stern to the door." "Did you notice anybody else on deck at that time?" SUNo." Miley dropped a question. "You were alone at the, time Captain Tees found you?" , Rollins paused for a split sec. ond, "I was alone," he lied, {Continued Next Week) - RONNIE : DRESS-AND-BQNNET By Anne Adams' The clothes goes to Pattern 4022 by Anne Adams!

French Raid Major Tank Battle The Air Ministry News Service said that the raids by British and Canadian bombers on the Renault and Matford motor works in France were the equivalent to de- struction in battle of the entire equipment of five armored and mechanized divisions, "in effect one of the major tank battles of the war has been won by the R.A.F, in about six hours at a cost of four bombers and 25 men," the service added. It declared this was "of immedi. ate and paramount importance to the Allied armies on both the Russian and Libyan fronts." The two factories were pro- ducing 70 motor trucks daily as well as 'many tanks and other vehicles for the Germans.. This production was stopped, the ser- vice said, much of it for at. least a-year, some for the duration of the war because irreplaceable machine tools were destroyed.
