As special consultant to the Senate Military Affairs’ subcommittee on minerals and materials. George W. Malone, managing director of The Industrial West Foundation. has taken the lead in “‘selling’’ the west’s resources to procurement officials. So doing, he has not only aided the armament program materially but has helped lay foundations for gigantic post-war industries in the West he serves.

Some good, it seems, may come from the most terrible of evils—and out of the disaster of this war may evolve the building of a mightier American West’ than any Californian has dreamed of. -MARS, THE DEATH DRIVER The god of war is becoming a more deadly scourge of American highways with each week of the war, accoding to accident statistics from all over the nation. Congestion due to the war program—with cities crowded and passenger traffic swollen from 20 to 100 per cent in districts packed with defense workers—has stepped up the accident rate so rapidly that officials of the War Production Board are seriously concerned. . Last year, 40,000 Americans were killéd in traffic accidents—an all-time high, 16 per cent over the 1940 mark of 34,500! . It is the patriotic duty of every American using the streets’ and highways to cooperate to the limit with state and local authorities as they struggle against adverse emergency conditions in transportation. The motorist.can do this by driving as little as need be and with the utmost care—not only to preserve his own life but to conserve rubber and fuel and to guard against the wrecking of an automobile that can no longer be replaced in the national economy by manufacture. ~ JAPS PAY HEAVILY Already a powerful Japanese armada has been utterly destroyed in this war. Japan’s spearheads of conquest add up to 165,000 men killed, several hundred planes lost, together with a fleet estimated most conservatively at . battleship, 4 cruisers, 2 aircraft carriers, 8 destroyers, 7 submarines, and 59 troop transports and supply auxiliaries. The Japs evidently feel the gains well worth the cost in losses to date. _ Yet it is significant that such serious damage has been in flicted upon blitz aggressors enjoying every advantage in treacherous surprise, in mastery. of the air, and in sinerior numbers and weight of material. There is an explanation {6 this. In the first direct clash of American and Janane:e tanks the American product proved definitely superior in speed armor and fire power. So it has been, also. in direct tests of _ American and British aircraft against the Japanese. And the to change their plan of attack. When the forces of the United Nations achieve something like numerical parity with the Japs in planes, tanks and warships, the tide of battle may be expected to turn immediately—as the Japs, to judge by the frantic, pell mell style of their offensive, seem to recognize even more clearly than we do. But America has a tremendous job to do in turning out the equipment; we, too, are fighting against time, and every day lost costs the lives of American soldiers.

I wonder at. Abou Ben Adhem A truly remarkable man; And I wish now, in view of his record, There were more of his excellent clan. His love was bestowed on his fellows, His eyes were not raised to the sky, But the angel took cognizance of him é And smiled as he softly passed by. Not long since, a friend presented us with a book of poems, containing among other classics, the well remembered tale of Abou Ben Adhem. In renewing acquaintance with Mr. Ben Adhem, I was impressed as never before with the :poise, self confidence and utter frankness with which he met ;a most amazing situation. . \ : Waking in the still watches of the night, to find a strange angel in his room, did not fease Abou in the least. He evidenced neither fear: nor embarrassment. He proceeded to question the unusual visitor, and when informed that his. was not among the names of those who loved the Lord, said very simply, ‘““write me as one who loves his fellowmen.’’ Surely this was a superb example of self command, not easily excelled. I wonder what circumstances or lines of thought led the hero of this old poem to devote his love in its entirety to his fellow creatures here below. _ sky and gazed at the star gemmed vault above, until he felt infinitely small and unimportant—felt that in the vastness of the cosmic universe he, himself was less, far less than a grain of desert sand. Perhaps in awed humility of spirit; he whispered his thoughts to the brooding night. “The Great Spirit,” he might have said. ‘“‘who created millions upon millions of shining orbs and scattered them throughout the realms of illimitable space, does not need. me, my love or my feeble aid in the furtherance of his inscrutable plans; but my brothers, my fellow travelers upon the road of life, they need me and to them . shall devote my life, my love, my sympathy and understanding.” “Write me as one who loves his fellowmen,” he said to the angel. What must have been his surprise to learn _ later that his name led all the rest! The story of Abou Ben Adhem is of course, a legend, a fanciful figment of the poet’s dream; but it conveys a valuable lesson which we are at times prone to forget, so let us still remember that no matter what our creed.or philosophy of life may be, it will avail us nothing, unless, in a true spirit of tolerance, understanding and good will, we walk among those with whom we come in daily contact, here and now.—A.

Failure to. claim the correct . personal exemption for state income ‘tax purposes is apparently occasion‘ed by the misapprehension of taxpayfers that the personal exemption of . $750 for single individuals and $1,500 for married individuals. allowed . ander the Federal Revenue Act is ‘the full amount allowable under the state act.
