> GOD—LIKENESS
m' In the juvenile section of a big
bookstore, a small girl was found
busying herself with a box of cray-
ons. A clerk uneasily asked the
child what she was about.
*Tm drawing a picture of God,”
it* was the surprising reply.
“But how do you know what God
looks like?”
“That,” said the little girl suc-
cinctly, “is why I am drawing Him.
I want to find out.'

Rabies Are More
Prevalent in Winter
Than Summer
“Contrary to popular belief, rabies
is more prevalent in winter than in
the so-called days of summer,” says
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer. It was disclosed that in Feb-
ruary the State Laboratory examin-
ed 316 animal brains for the pres-
ence of rabies, over thirty-seven per
cent of which tested positive.
“If all stray dogs were destroyed,
and all pets vaccinated for rabies, it
would go far toward stamping out
this justly feared fatal disease,” Dr.
Cox said.
The doctor stressed that all dogs
suspected of rabies be confined ten
days for observation to see if the
disease develops. If a dog sickens
and dies during the observation per-
iod, the head should be packed in
ice and sent to the State Health De-
partment for examination. Freezing
the brain, or killing the dog prema-
turely, or in such a manner as to in-
jure the brain may make correct la-
boratory findings uncertain, if not
impossible.
Dr. Cox declared that after a dog
is confined ten days and then killed,
there is still ample time for a victim
of his bite to be treated for rabies
prevention, but he cautioned that if
the disease is found to be present in
the dog, the victim should begin
treatment without further delay.

Witness the following letter recent-
ly received by a Detroit man from
his soldier son stationed somewhere
in Australia.
“Dear dad,” runs the epistle, “I’m
thinking about settling down here
after the war and going into busi-

PUPIL GIVES EXAMPLES
It was in the grammar class the
teacher asked: “What are the three
verb forms?”
A pupil rose and answered, “In-
dicative, interrogative and impera-
tive.”
Teacher: “Give an example of
each form.”
Pupil: “Tom is sick.” Pause. “Is
Tom sick?” Long pause. “Sic ’em
Tom!”

Job* and Taxes
America is going to need many,
good steady jobs soon after the war.
Plenty will be available; too, if busi-
ness holds up. With this hope in
mind, the U. S. Department of Com-
merce issued a book last year called
“Markets After the War,” to help the
Committee on Economic Develop-
ment measure the public’s post-war
needs. Some of the statements in
the book took on new color recently
from recommendations in the now-
famous Baruch Report.
One of the things proposed by Ber-
nard M. Baruch and John M. Han-
cock is that Congress get busy right
away and make a tax law to take
effect on “X-Day,” the day Hitlerism
folds up. This law is to guarantee
lower taxes on business to relieve its
uncertainty. These are well-chosen
words admitting a harsh fact: If jobs
are going to be abundant, tax laws
must be changed.
Taxes Kill Jobs
More thap two-thirds of this coun-
try’s factory output today consists
of war goods. Many manufacturers
are making absolutely nothing else.
To meet war’s demands, factories
have expanded rapidly since Pearl
Harbor. What they did in pre-war
years is less than half of what they
are doing now. Under the law, most
of their volume classifies as “in-
crease” and most of their profits as
“excess” profits, taxed at 85 cents
on the dollar.
After the war, if the government’s
levy is still 85 per cent of all profits
above pre-war profits, manufactur-
ers will have every reason to quit
pushing for increased production.
Here is the main reason: 85 per cent
from 100 per cent leaves 15 per cent,
and who will work twice as hard and
take twice as much risk if the law
lets him keep only $1.50 out of every
$10 honestly earned from the extra
work?
No Small Thing
A few cases of discouragement
wouldn’t matter but all of industry
is involved. Of course business can
slide down to its pre-war volume,
approximately where the tax on “ex-
cess profits” begins, but don’t forget
that America had eight million peo-
ple unemployed in the pre-war years.
If employment is to remain high, an-
nual volume of business after the
war must exceed 1940’s volume and
this calls for a change in the tax law.
Look back at the Commerce De-
partment’s book for a moment. It
forecasts a post-war demand for au-
tomobiles 100 per cent bigger than
the 1940 demand. Such a market, if
supplied, will make jobs all right and
help prosperity, but will it be sup-
plied? The automobile output in
1940 was about four million. Can
the automobile industry double it?
The answer is “Yes” under fair con-
ditions, but if the present tax law
remains unchanged for half a year,
it won’t be done.
TfWPPliw''
The lowest Ux « chr manufacturer
has to pey Is 40 per cent. That’s on
1940’s volume or lees, so every $10
of profit on that much business
leaves him $6. This works okay on
the first four million cars but the tax
rate will be 89 per cent oh the second
four million, i. e., on profits above
pre-war profits. On that part of the
job every $10 earned ic worth $1.90.
And even that niggardly profit is
subject to income tax later.
With such a prospect of ruin in
sight, any business man would know
enough to buy tax-free government
bonds instead, that pay 2 per cent.
The bad feature is that buying gov-
ernment bonds does not create gov-
ernment jobs or build any cars. If
the excess profits tax does not end
with the war as Baruch suggests, de-
pression is right around the comer,
We will be fortunate if it is not a
revolution.

WHO'S WHO IN
TALCO SCHOOL
Windell Williams entered the
freshman class of Talco High School
in September, 1936, withdrawing at
mid-term, 1937. He was a mem-
ber of Talco’s first football squad.
After leaving Talco, he entered Mid-
land High School, where his schol-
astic and football records were out-
ftaning.
A scout from Rice observed his
football at Midland and Windell was
invited to enter Rice Institute. His
records were good at Rice, and he
was outstanding in the Thanksgiving
game of 1942. Windell’s entire squad
volunteered for service after Pearl
Harbor, but all of them remained
in school the rest of the year.
Windell is now in training at Lou-
isiana Institute at Lafayette, La.,
where he hopes to finish his second
year of college before going over-
seas. He is to be married soon.

vorce because after each quarrel her

won’t be home tonight! That’s final!”

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“Sorry Judge, my shipment of suspenders
still hasn’t come in. Some articles are mighty
scarce these days. I don’t get anywhere
near as much as I could sell.”
“ With the war going on, Frank, we’ve got
to expect those things. It’s true of luxuries
just as it is of necessities. Take whiskey,
for example. There’s a real shortage in that.
It’s to be expected when you realize there
hasn’t been a drop of it distilled in this
country since way back in October, 1942.
“The only thing distillers have been making
during that time is war-alcohol for the
Government. So, I wasn’t surprised a bit
to read how bootlegging and black markets
have sprung up around the country as a
result of the dwindling supply. Our 13 years
of prohibition proved that ifJolks can’t get
legal whiskey, they’ll get ittttifwhiskey. Sure
hope the shortage doesn’t last too long. I’d
hate to see this country turned over to the
