BAILEY, IBIS-1838 clary Committee, is to preside at the meetings. The composition of that committee is of particular In repudiating an example which would have reduced the family to the status of the animals In the barnyard. They were called "Tories," "Reactionaries" and "Fascists." Indeed, not even loyalty to the United States is now placed first in the program for the future which is presented to youth in the war. Instead it Is urged that this youth fight for a new world and a list of objectves called freedoms the achievement of which New York, Sept. 23.

One great appeal la conspicuously lacking in the preachments to the young people of the United States concerning the brave new world of the future, ot which they will be the masters. There are freedoms up to seven now, compensated, of course, by sacrifices of ordinary human individual libertlea which have been instinctive In the United States; but there has been no mention of loyalty. This is a sensitive toplo In a nation whose marriages to the extent of one in six end In the divorce court, for loyalty begins in the home and Ih the cement in the family unit which Is the basic unit ot civili mittee at this time is not as large as it was back In the years when the antt-lynchtng measure was considered. Sens tor Connolly, no doubt, will do hie best to atop the anti-poll tux bill, and he Is capable, determined and resourceful. But one of the leading pressure groups In the Capitol nowadays Is composed of colored agitators.

The Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of New York, has a branch office and a number of lobbyists here and they are aggressive. Great efforts will be made to force the pending bill to a final vote, and should it go to the White House it is believed the President will sign it. Southern Democrats consider the movement for the anti-poll tax bill unnecessary and harmful meddling. terest because of the Importance of the proposed legislation. In addition to Senator Van Nuys, who comes from Indiana, there Senators Pat McCarran, of Nevada, Carl Hatch of Mew Mexico, Tom Connally would abrogate much of the fnn of Texas, Joseph C.

There's a tantalizing, splry, sweet-sour smell coming from the farm kitchen these days. On a warm, sunny September morning when the countryman Is cutting the late rowen, when blue haze hovers on the mountains across the valley and all earth lies quietly In the fruition of autumn, Mother begins to make the season's batch of pickles.

Plcklin' lime Is an Important date on the season's calendar. What would home-baked beans be like without pickles? Could one be expected to enjoy a juicy roast of pork on a bllzsardy January noon without their tart, biting goodness? And with the fried potatoes for everyday supper what goes better than a generous helping of green tomato pickles? Pickles and spices are practically synonymous. News dispatches tell us that certain spices are scarce or non-existent this year. Fortunately for the family, most housewives keep a five or ten year supply of spices on an upper pantry shelf or in a wonderfully mlxed-up collection In a kitchen drawer, Therefore, most families are provided against the exigencies of international affairs. There are all kinds of pickles: green tomato, chutney, beet relish, pickled baby beets, corn relish, sweet mustard pickles, sweet ripe cucumber, bread and butter, and others.

Each has Its place; each is a natural companion for some good dish. The chief point Is it's plcklin' time. The pungent, penetrating, nostril-tickling aroma Is all through the house. It spreads Into the woodshed where a 12-year-old lad Is stacking chunks of solid oak and maple against the time of cold and makes him stop, sniff In appreciation and smile In anticipation. Mother bends over the bubbling kettle on the stove and smells critically.

Is It strong enough ot this or too strong of that? Her men folks have preferences.

But young Americans receive their teaching, example and inspiration, has been avoided as a topic too delicate or embarrassing for discussion. To stand by and rescue a wounded buddy in action la a great thing, but on the other hand, to call off a marriage and deprive children of the leadership and companionship of one parent and to set them an Intimate and deeply impressive example of selfishness is not even questionable conduct.

In the more radical areas of politics, apostasy to a political belief or objective, or the personality of a leader will be condemned as an unforgivable, personal crime by some persons who nevertheless see nothing worse In the repudiation of a marriage for rasual, selfish reasons than the through. The House has already passed it by a substantial majority. The only hope of defeat for the measure now la in a filibuster and one may not be long enough to live out the present session. If the hearings before the Judiciary Committee are brief then the bill can be taken to the floor of the Senate within a week or two. now, drunk with power, States north of the Mason-Dixon line are doing just what Republicans have tried to do for years.

The first meeting Is called tor Friday the 24th.

Filibusters in committee have been them under hardship conditions, from New England to San Diego, from Minnesota to Florida, to be close to their young husbands until the last possible moment. Some have babies In their arms and some are Obviously expecting. Many carry their own hand baggage for lark of manpower in the stations or for lack of money to pay the porters; they sit up day and night in hot. ill-ventilated trains and when tbey arrive often there Is no decent housing for them. Many of them take jobs in war factories or In restaurants or hotels who might remain in reasonable comfort and security at home, in order to have a few more hours together and some of the most poignant little stories from overseas have been glimpses of the longing ot young soldiers to see their wives, and babies, born since they went away.

Youth has not had an inspiring public example of this first loyalty In recent years, and it has received nowhere in the' propaganda of that which might be called the political youth movement the emphasis that has been given to political strategy, economic problems and the freedoms. Conspicuous families, including leading personalities of middle-age and beyond have been disrupted In our own country and.

Next year's crops have not yet been planted and no living man knows now what sort of weather this country will have next year. If next year should turn out to be a very "dry" year, crop yields could be greatly reduced. Speculations on the amount of food to be available in 1145 seem to us to be merely Idle exercise.

The small town bankers are reported to be "seeking to force more energetic protests from the national association of bankers against governments! lending In competition with private capital. So reads a dispatch from New York where the American Bankers' Association is meeting. Presuming that a majority of the American people' would like to have1 a government which would lend them money at lower ratea than banks can lend It to them, that a majority wishes to live In a Socialised State rather than In a republic, the fate of the small town bank is sealed.

A socialistic and bureaucratic government would support banks In the Bigger Towns per-baps and permit them to earn dividends from services rather than loans. It would find big bank machinery useful. Beyond doubt, a great proportion of the Americans have been convinced In the last ten years of the Inexhaustible resources and power ot government to do good to them. We do not believe In governments as agencies to do good. They should have power to punish people for doing harm.

They should be suspected and watched, at all times. We doubt It any government will ever have a dollar to dispense that It does not take by force or wheedle from the people.

'WPB has Issued an order designed to reduce the raiding by Government buyers of stocks goods allocated to civilian consumers. Under the new directive, should buyers of the armed services attempt to make direct pur-chases from these stocks the manufacturers must notify, WPB, which will decide whether the pur chase is to be permitted. Included in the goods to which the order applies are glass cooking utensils, bedsprlngs, razora, razor bladea, clocks and watches, kitchen and household common pins and safety pins, office supplies and other products of a similarly essential nature. Here Is another Indication ot the recognition of civilian needs.

At the outbreak of the war there existed quite a satisfactory supply of consumer goods. Their manufacture naturally had to give way to war demands, which resulted In the almost complete change-over of our Industrial system. Civilian consumers were rightfully ot secondard importance. But now many of the goods which were In the hands of civilians have worn out and are in need of replacement and the time has come to do something about them. Planning la one thing and delivery quite another.

Take, for example, the matter of alarm clocks. They are very Important In the lives of most of us, but some households have been reduced to one. and some to none at all. Months ago It was announced that a wartime alarm clock was to be placed on the market. But where Is it to be had? It doea not appear as yet to have reached Baltimore retailers.

Another essential article is the domestic machine, and we have been told that that Is to go back Into production. How long will It be before washing, machines are avatl-j able to civilians?

That Is a bit confusing as It stands but WPB kindly goes on to explain that It means that coats, toppers and reefers cannot exceed thirty-three inches In length for size sixteen and Jackets In this same size must not be longer than twenty-five Inches. The WPB further goes on to explain that this Interpretation of Schedule 11 1 of Order L-45 c-does not apply to persons entitled to wear official uniforms or special clothing for persons with, physical deformities.
