A Thought for Today God is a spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in 4:24. Rural sounds exhilarate the and restore the tone of languid Cowper. No Overtime Pay on Bataan How many hours a week do the boys on Bataan work? If the Japs attack on Sunday do you think the American troops demand double time for overtime? Maybe some of MacArthur's men like one of his sergeants. Do you believe they pull the trigger fewer times per hour because of that peeve? The answers come quick and easy. Do they come the same way in the battle of Detroit? On that vital production front we have rectntly witnessed these sickening spectacles: A great squabble about double time for Sunday work.

Several slowdowns in a bomber parts plant because some of the men got sore at one of their fellow workers. When will we Americans awake to the tragic absurdity of the 40-hour week in wartime? Will we awake after the war is lost, when, as in France today, men will labor untold hours for a pittance that amounts to slavery under a foreign master? Many peacetime proponents of the short work week are now its loudest critics. War changes many things, and this, they rightly maintain, is one of them. When Congress voted the wage-hour law, the nation understood that one of its aims was a limitation on hours, to spread employment. The goal now is to get from every American.

It may be contended that the 40-hour week is no restriction, that all an employer has to do Is to tell the men to work, say, 48 pay them time-and-a-half for the extra 8 hours. This 50 per cent pay increase adds to the manufacturing cost It means a bigger war bill which the of to pay. And this in the hour of peril when we are all being told that we must sacrifice. The government urges the employer to work longer hours as a patriotic contribution, then insists that he pay a 50 per cent penalty on overtime. How do American workers feel about it? This much is certain.

No truly American worker would quibble about time-and-a-half if hq knew his extra hours might help even up the battlfe on Bataan. The work week is between 55 and 60 hours in Great Britain. It is between 60 and 70 In Germany. This is war. Every American must work as many hours as compatible with maximum efficiency.

He should be paid for every hour, at his regular pay rate. The 40-hour week overtime excess holding back the war effort. For the duration, they must go! Can't We Even Remodel a Ship? There is an old story of pre-Revolutlonary Russia in Czarist daya when inefficiency and fuddling reigned in the land. It seems that two revolutionists, who had been protesting against all this fumbling, were caugnt by the Okhrana and sentenced to be hanged. But when the sentence was to be carried out, the rope broke.

They picked themselves up off the ground, and one murmured. "Poor Mother Russia! Here they even hang a man Well! Has it come to this in the United States, which preened itself on Its super-efficiency? Has it come to the point where even remodel a ship at a peaceful dock In the heart of New York City without burning her to a shell? Military reverses may come to any army, including the best. The loss of the Normandie looks very much like a piece of tumble-footed, thoughtless stupidity. We shall have little room for that kind of business in trying days to come. Deaths Local MISS LUCRETIA BECKER Miss Lucretia Berker, member of one of the pioneer families of Dixon, daughter of the late Ezra and Amanda Hetler Becker, passed away about 3:30 Sunday afternoon at the Dixon public hospital, where she had been a patient since last October.

Miss Becker was born in a large brick house, which stood on the site of the present Loveland Community House, on January 18, 1870.

Well, the sons of Eli will soon be doing it again.

President Seymour of that venerable institution reveals Yale will require all students to take physical training to equip them for service in the armed forces. Of course there will be baseball, swimming, I tennis and other familiar sports, but after working up a good sweat at such pastimes these will be put to chopping wood, digging ditches, sawing wood and other activities. Sure, soft, mentally and physically, so good to see Yale lead out In a campaign to make flabby muscles as unpatriotic as warbling the "Horst song at a defense bond rally. Look at the Other Fellow Somehow there is a trait in human nature that enables the man wrho has fallen in the mud up to his hips to get a certain satisfaction out of contemplating the fellow w-ho has fallen in up to his neck. So if worried about the tremendous federal debt get satisfaction you can out of this: The public debt today of the United States is slightly less than the annual national income.

In Britain its twice the national income. That is the estimate of the Alexander Hamilton Institute. That means that we may emerge from the war with a debt of perhaps twice our national income, while Britain will then be in for a debt three or four times the national income of that country. Just how all this will end, even the most proficient economists About all We can be sure of is that no matter what kind of a hole we find ourselves In, we will have plenty of company. With the teachers in charge of sugar rationing, those who hoard will be given a lesson in subtraction.

He was hunted for a he was darker. Yes: that described him exactly. She wondered why. She must observe him a bit more closely. Maybe she had been neglecting him a little.

It might have been better if Parris could have had less of her own ways, and more of the Mitchell manner. She knew that people commented on her bearing and conduct and thought her peculiar and alien. Well, she had left a wide circle of freedom about elbowroom, just as she demanded, and had to have, for herself. ATER Anna laid her firm, shiny hand under elbow, and the two women went slowly up the stairs. Parris came to his door, frowning against the light of the shaded lamp Anna carried.

these up behind Lashio, beyond reach of the oncoming Japs. They did not have enough trucks to bring all the material up as far as Chungking in time, so they rallied every facility at the Burma end of the road and ran the goods up to caches in the mountains of their Yunnan province. The wharves are fairly cleaned up now. Loss of the Burma road will therefore not be immediately disastrous to the Chinese cause. It will not force Chiang Kai-Shek into a separate peace.

Even the long range effects are problematical. Most of the lease- lend goods going up the Burma Road has been small arms, ammunition, too's, parts and such material as could be carried in trucks. Planes may still be flown in from India, via other routes. Mr. and Mrs.

Unmistakable signs are ac- cumlating to indicate the Japs are preparing a spring attack on back door in Siberia. Men and material seem headed for the Amur river front for what would be an obvious and simple drive to isolate Vladivostok. Push ing on from the Manchurian border down to the sea, the Japs could cut communications with his Pacific stronghold. Vlad ivostok itself then might be at tacked from the sea and pinched out. No one ever knows what the Russians have anywliere.

Their of ficial grapevine reports that they have kept 500,000 troops on the line to match an equal number of Japanese. Authorities here can only hope this is true. Food authorities here have counted up sugar stocks and con' elude these are sufficient to fur nish 99 pounds to everyone in this country this year. The average consumption for eight years from 1932 to 1940 103 pounds so the amount available is only 4 pounds less than normal. (They do not count last year because industrial buying and hoarding was evident then.) But you will get your 99 pounds this year is a question.

Much depends on your neighbor. While stocks are almost adequate, hoarding continues. Rationing is inevitable, solely because of demand and not because of inadequate supply. JAMES A. WALKER (Telegraph Special Service) Rochelle, Feb.

Afghanistan (between India, Iran and Siberia) has been announced without explanation.

That lonely nation of 12,000,000 people which specializes in 120 degree heat in summer has become a center of axis intrigue, with Germans. Japs and Italians joining in. Their activity at Kabul has become so strong as to require attention of the United Nations. Here again is disclosed the horizon of axis conquest. The mere fact that Hitler considers Afghanistan worth going after is proof enough of what India is facing, as well as Iran.

The Lady Perkins was upset by rumors that she had notified New York friends of impending retirement.
