FATEFUL ANNIVERSARY
On April 6, 1917, the Unitea
States declared war against
Germany• Twenty-seven years
have passed since that date.
-The American people thought
when they entered that strug-
gle that it was a war to end all
Wars. They believed that if
Germany could be thoroughly
suppressed and its warmaking
power destroyed, such terrible
events could be stopped, or at
least that the wars of the fu-
ture would be small and minor
ones.
They entered that conflict
With high hopes and a kind of
religious fervor. They were in-
dignant at the actions of Ger-
many in invading neutral Bel-
gium, and in sinking ships on
Which Americans were traveling•
The actions of Germany in that
war were thoroughly bad and
deserved the excerations of
mankind. Those outrages of our
enemy were comparatively mild
When we consider the terrible
outrages committed by Ger-
many in the present war, the
massacres of countless numbers
of civilians, the execution of in-
nocent hostages for crimes they
did not commit, and the plun-
dering of conquered nations and

CONSERVING CARS
Americans are taking better
care of their cars than ever. It's
a wise course to follow with no
new automobiles available andI
mechanics.repair shops ' unable to hire
Motorists who formerly were l
wont to trade in the old bus
for a new one when the original
tires showed wear now strive to
keep their machines constantly
in trim. They prefer to keep
their own machines in good con-
dition rather than be forced to
buy a worn-out jalopy at a later
date.
• Greasing racks, as a result, are
more crowded than formerly.
General overhaul jobs are more
common. Sticky valves and mo-
tor ping--attributed to less and
slower burning and lower grade
fuels--add to the garage over-
load.
Reports from principal cities
in the East, the Middle West,
and the Far West all reveal gar-
ages so inundated with work
that many jobs are turned down,
and repairs that are not so ur-
gent are undertaken only on ap-
pointment, which may be weeks
in the future• Only in the east-
ern area was there indication
that severe gasoline rationing
had curbed car use so drastically
that the repair business was ifi a
decline.
Drivers who wish to keep their
cars clean and shiny are doing
more washing and polishing
themselves, as the garages simp-
ly do not have the manpower
available to devote time to such
chores. Neither can they send
out for and deliver cars as they
did in the days of "super ser-
vice." If the car can reach the
repair shop under its own power,
the owner generally is told to
bring it himself.

DRIVE FOR PAPER
There is a nationwide drive
to save waste paper. The pres-
ent supply is very low. The
enormous use of paper for con-
tainers takes a tremendous
amount of this material•
Every shell that is fired comes
from a paper container. ArmY
fliers use paper clothing for
warmth. Soldiers wear paper
sun helmets. Tents, shelters,
and temporary buildings are
made oLpaper. There are hun-
dreW] of purpo:~es for which
paper is needed in tl~e war
effvrr~.
Americans waste enormous
quantities of paper, and vast
amounts are thrown away.

"'I was just tellin' my brother Fred this
morning, Judge...there's never been a time
in our lives when we got to live up to that
old sayin" United we stand, divided we fall'-"
more than we have to today."
"How true that is, Herb. And for the
life of me, I can't figure out why, at a tifne
like this, some folks insist on raising a ques-
tion like prohibition. I can't imagine any-
thing that would tickle our enemies more
than to get us folks over here taking sides
against each other, arguing about an issue
like that. We've got a he-man's job on our
hands to win this war and we can't be
wasting our minds, our money and our
strength fighting about something we
tried for nearly 14 years and found couldn't
work,

everything, and this is no time or place to
be.doing any fightin' except the kind that's
going to win the war.'"
