Brotherhood
According to Paul B. Anderson, who represents the inter-
national Y. M. C. M., the French army failed because the
French people had become “atomised” so that every one was
thinking only of himself. They had too much liberty and not
enough brotherhood.
Russia, he adds, has survived because her people are not
‘atomised and individually selfish.”
These wise words remind us of Benjamin Franklin saying
to his associates as they signed the Declaration of Independ-
ence: “Now we must all hang together, cm- we shall all hang
separately.”
But the principle is far older than that. It seems to have
been adopted about 2,600 years ago by the founders of the Ro-
man Republic, when they chose as their national symbol the
“fasces,” a bundle of willow rods that were weak separately
but strong when tied together. In that bundle, too, they
placed an ax to show how serious they were about their unity.
They were no more serious then than we Americans are
today. God help anybody who tries to monkey with our E
Plurlbus Ununo!
Patriots' Opportunities
A 24-year-old industrial worker went to his newspaper for *
help the day the United States went to war with the Axis. He
had been thinking about the situation and wanted to do some-
thing special to help- It occurred to him that he could give '
the equivalent of an hour's wage for some urgent cause, and
that If every gainfully employed person in his city did the
same thing, there might soon be enough to buy a flying for-1
tress for Unde 8am.
He found that his fellow workers liked the idea. They
didn’t know just how to handle the plan and that is why they
appealed to the newspaper to help get a central agency es -
tablished for defense donations.
British workers have been doing this sort of thing ever
since the war began. Employees all over the British Empire
have collected funds to buy Spitfires, Hurricanes and bomb-
ers.
Meanwhile there is a call for donation to which every
American should respond -immediately. That Is the Red Cross
appeal for $60,000,000 for war relief. The young workman and
Ids friends and all the rest of us can put this first on our list
and then proceed to the gifts of flying fortresses or anything
else Uncle Sam needs.
Ready For The Job *
Here are a few things to remember in these first weeks of
var, when we re still a little groggy from the sudden plunge
. nd we re getting banged about worse than we expected, and
things look rather blue. Count them off on your fingers.
First, we’re far more prepared for war now than we have
ever been, at the start, in our national history. .
Second, this is primarily an industrial war, and we hav&
’he best industrial equipment and resources in the world, in
full operation, with steadily growing output.
Third, we have a virtually unlimited supply of men better
adapted to this mechanized warfare than any of our antag-
onists are. * ,
Fourth, we are a united nation, making ope vast human
machine in our common purpose
Fifth, we have a habit of victory—we have never lost a
war.
And to cap the climax: “8o conquer we must, for our cause
It is just; and this be our motto—In God Ls Our Trust.”
3ood Neighbors
We have had a good deal of trouble with Mexico, off and
on, during the last 30 years. But that’s over now It was pleas-
nt and reassuring to learn of the big parade the other day in
Mexico City, with 50,000 workers marching and singing and
arrylng placards saying "The future of Mexico is with the
United States and Latin America.”
There have been announcements, too. in most of the oth-
er southern republics, showing the same attitude. Even those
who do not show so much enthusiasm as Mexico still wish us
well and are preparing to cooperate with us in important
ways. The forthcoming conference of representatives of all
the Latin-American countries is expected to tighten the
bonds already established.
So the labors of many years and the friendliness which
has become the settled policy of this country toward Latin-
Ameru a are bearing fruit. It looks now as if our whole West-
ern Hemisphere will stand together for sanity and decency
against the forces of barbarism.

that a bud night’s sleep will knock
out our sense of well-being for at
least twenty-four hours. We
should learn how to deal with the
little disturbances of sleep.,
You may have a spell of bad
nights not because you have a con-
science as uneasy as Macbeth’s or
because you are neurotic, but sim-
ply because you overlook one of
the trifles that murder sleep.
How Senses Go to Sleep
Our senses go to sleep in this or-
der according to the psychologist:
first we lose our sense ,pf. vision,
then taste, then smell, hearing and
touch. If this is true, and I think
it is, we do not have to worry so
much about the morning light as
to be sure that no noises are likely
to wake us up just at the moment
that the organism is passing over
into delicious sleep.
Touch is benumbed last of all,
so be sure that nothing about the
bed clothes or night dress is going
to intrude through the sensory
path of touch. Night garments
which leave the shoulders exposed
to the chill air make sleep lighter,
because temperature sensitivity
remains through practically all
deep.
Temperature of Bedroom
Donald A. Laird of Colgate
University, one of our most prac-
tical psychologists, says a bed can
be too warm as well as too cold.
Laboratory research suggests that
the best bedroom temperature is
between 60 and 60* Fahrenheit.
The stomach does not sleep at
all, it just rests slightly. Three
_ or four times an hour it contracts
spasmodically in what might be
called a hunger pang. These pangs
start as soon as the stomach is
empty—four to five hours after a
meal—about the time adults go to
bed. This suggests that a bedtime
lunch c*f foods which will not cause
digestive distress is helpful in im-
proving sleep the first half of the
night by postponing the hunger
contractions.
Alcohol helps sleep the first half
of the night and ruins it the sec-
ond half.
Self-Hypnosis
The worst enemy of sleep is re-
sidual excitement from the pre-
vious day and evening. We get
too keyed up to relax. Walter Win-
chell once yearned to sleep as
soundly at night as he did when it
was time to get up. People who
go to sleep well use what the psy-
chologist calls self-hypnosis. Dr.
Nathaniel Kleitman of the Uni-
versity of Chicago has found that
the surest way to keep awake is to
tense muscles.
Worty seldom keeps people
awake. The Italian, Poggio, has a
character who is asked, "How can
you sleep with such pressing
debts?”
“The wonder is,” he replied,
“that my creditors can sleep.”
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
M. L.:—“Will eating peanuts
(not salted) in excessive amount
do any harm? They help consti-
pation. I can get along without a
laxative every night if I eat plenty
of peanuts.”
Answer: Peanuts are not com-
pletely digested and leave quite a
residue in the intestines, but I
never heard of using them for
cathartic purposes before. They
will do no harm.

“The Authority on Authorities’*
NOT A COME-ON SIGNAL
ORDINARILY the play of some
card which your partner can tell
is not your smallest of the suit,
when you are palpably not trying
to influence the winning of the
trick or force a high card from
the declarer, is a message that
you want your partner to lead the
suit when he gets a chance There
are several times, however, when^
that is emphatically not the case
One of these js when it is impos-
sible for your partner to lead that
suit on his next turn, because you
know he is out of cards in it, and
he knows you know it. Another is
when leading that suit would posi-
tively be to the declarer’s advan-
tage. no matter what cards you
hold which your partner cannot

hearts with the A, which South
ruffed. Two trump rounds, the
heart Q for a diamond discard and
the taking of the club finesse
made the contract, with the loss
of only one trick in hearts and two
in diamonds.
After the deal East pointed out.
that his high heart or the first
trick screamed for a shift to dia-
monds. that a small heart would
have asked for a switch to clubs.
That was because it should have
been perfectly clear to West that
South was blank in hearts after
the first lead, if West held four.
East Laving bid the suit while

at its top, must have had at least
five of them. Consequently, he
could not be asking for a repeat of
the suit .

CHAPTER TH1RTY-NTNE
BUT SUSAN didn’t understand
Just what Mr. Jones meant. Not
quite, anyway. And far a moment
she was swept by a feeling of Com-
plete confusion. The real Susan
Farmer, of Ardendale, And this Su-
san Farmer, who had won the
Dainty Diana Dairies contest, were
all mixed up. It almott frightened
her, the odd feeling at being two
people in one. She knew that Mr.
Jones was talking to tbe sun bon-
neted, gingham-clad prize winner,
but she was trying to understand
him as the real Susan Farmer.
! “For years,” Mr. Jbnes went on,
“I've felt that I didn’t do right by
Maudie, and it has troubled me—
troubled me many times. I’ve felt
that I owe her something—and
have wanted to make restitution.
And that’s where you come in.”
“Oh, I see,” said Susan, “you
want to do something nice for little
me—something you might have
done for Maudie.”
"Exactly!” said Mr. Jones bright-
ly. “I failed Maudie, and I want
to make it up in some way. And it
occurred to me that I might be a
help to you, help you with your
plans.”
“With the farm?”
“Yes, or in some other way, If
you prefer. I might even help yeu
have a career, if you preferred that,
although I should hate to see yo<t
j desert the farm, and become just
another—well, career woman.”
j | “Goodness,” said Susan, “what
sort of a career qould an inexperi-
enced girl like little me have?”
“There’s the radio.”
“ME—on radio?”
“Why not? Other small-town
girls have made good. Take Kate
Smith, for instance, and a number
of other southern girls I could
menM'ui. Besides, the radio people
liked your voice. You heard them
say that, yourself.”
“Yes, I did,” said Susan. She was
thoughtful for a moment. "I won-
der if I COULD make good on the
air.”
“I think you could make good In
anything you attempted.” said Mr.
Jones. “On the farm—on the air—
anywhere.”
“And you’d be willing to help
me ?”
“I would.”
“But—how ?”
“My word means a lot In the
radio world,” said Mr. Jones. “I
have sponsored a number of pro-
grams I have influence. I might
be in a position to establish you on
a program in which I have a hand.
(Such things HAVE been done, you
know.”
1 “Yea" said Susan. “I—I—know,”
And again, as with Roy Leonard,
Susan had a strong urge to tell the
truth. Just as she had wanted to
blurt out to Roy how she had made
herself what she felt the Dainty
Diana Dairies wanted, she now was
tempted to do the same thing with
Mr. Jones. It was awful, having two
men be so kind and generous, when
deep down in her heart she knew
she was a fake.
; She glanced at* the man beside
her, saw his kindty face, the friend-
ly look in his brown eyes, and
knew she could not: disillusion him.
Never. Just as long As she was tn
forget how wonderful you've beea
to me."
“I shall never, never forget ham
refreshing it’s been to be with
you,” said Mr. Jones. "Especially
on this fine afternoon. As a matter
of fact, my dear, you’ve given ms
another memory to store away be-
side those memories of Maudie.”
Tm glad,” Susan said softly,
"Terribly, terribly glad.” '
She relaxed against the deep red
upholstery, and watched the Lang
Island scene.
And in New York City, Roy
Leonard faced Irene Carter in Mr.
New York, she must go on being Jones* private office.
tbe typical farmer’s daughter.,-Sha
mustn't let Daniel Van Wert Jenffi
find out that she was only trying to
be what he thought a typical fann-
er’s daughter ought to be. But the
realisation that she might have
career in radio did fill her with a
certain sense of excitement, in spite
of the fact that alle realized also
that Mr. Jones was offering to help
the typical farmer’s daughter have
such a career, and not the Susan
Farmer who actually existed. But
there she was, getting all confused
again!
“I think you’re simply adorable,
Mr. Jones,’" she said, "to want to
help little me—even if it is because
you'd feel you were helping Maudie,
and—”
“It’s not that altogether,” Mr.
Jon«s cut *n. “I want to help you,
too, Susan. I think you're a mighty
sweet and wholesome girl, and—
well, I think I’d want to help you
even if there had never been a
Maudie.”
“Thank you,” said Susan. “You
are one of the nicest men I have
ever known.”
“You’re pretty nice yo&self. my
dear,” said Mr. Jones, patting Su-
san's band. “And you will let me
help you, won’t you. If you decide
to have a career, or if there’s any-
thing else in the world you want
very badly?”
“Yes, I will,” said Susan. “But—
but—”
“What is it, my dear?”
“Mrs. Jones.”
“Mrs. Jones? What about her?”
“I mean, she’s your wife, and she
might not understand.”
“She doesn’t have to know."
“But that wouldn’t be right.”
“Mrs. Jones and I feel differently
about lots of things,” Mr. Jones ex-
plained. “Thia is a matter which
lies just between tlie two of us—
and need not bother you, my dear.”
He sped up the car. ‘Think over all
that I’ve said to you and don’t hes-
itate to talk frankly with me, when
you feel you wish to do so.”
“All right, Mr. Jones,” Susan
said, “Anyway, I shall nsvsr, nevsr
■Hasn’t he returned yet?* hs
asketfi
“Heavens, no!” said Irena “And
Imagine you, of all people, expect-
ing him back this early!”
“If that's meant for a crack,-
said Roy, “I don’t get it."
“All I mean,” said Irene, Is that
you ought to know by now how
fascinating Mias Susan Fanner is.
And there's no fool like a middle
aged one—not excepting <ny em-
ployer.”
“Save It!” said Roy slangily. Me
eyed Irene. “By the way, have you
any idea how Mason Morgan got
hold of that Potelli evening gowm
business?”^
“How should I know?" said
Irene.
“I'm asking you,” said Roy.
“Well, you’re wasting your tim+
my lad. Besides, what does it mat-
ter ? You wanted Mias Typical
Farmer’s Daughter in the lime-
light, didn’t you?”
“I did," said Roy. “Limelight—
not BAD light.”
“It’s nothing to get upset about,-
said Irene lightly. “Lots of better
people than Mias Farmer have bean
written up in an uncomplimentary
manner. The Item will be forgotten
in a week. Someone else will grab
off the limelight Susan Fanner now
is basking In, and she’ll be back In
Ardendale among the hae-beena.”
“AU right, all right,” said Roy.
There was a dangerous look in his
eye. “But if I ever DO find out who
tipped Morgan off, and made It pos-
sible for him to write that nasty
item about Susan, I'll certainly go
on the warpath ”
Goodness me!" said Irene, aping
Susan. “How you-all do carry <*!"
“And,” Roy said, “cut out the
‘Gone With the Wind’ chatter.
You’re terrible.’’
He turned and strode out
Irene watched him go, her heart
heavy, a sensation of sickening fear
making ber feel weak aad miser-
able.
She wished with every fiber at
her being that she had not t#-
phoned Mason Morgan.
