DALLAS.—Members of T. A. Har-
din’s family were the sole occupants
of their farm home on Bonnie View
Road today, after the ghost that had
shared it with them had gone away.
An Englishman and an American
were presented to the potentate of
one of the eastern countries. In look-
ing over the Englishman’s passport,
the dusky monarch said: “I see, sir,
that you are a British subject.”

Then the monarch, looking at the

A professor was once accosted by
a dirty little bootblack. “Shine, sir?”
he asked.
The professor was disgusted by the
dirt on the lad’s face. “I don’t want
a shine, my lad,” he said, “but if you
will go and wash your face, I’ll give
you a dime.”
“Right, guv’nor,” replied the boy,
as he made his way to a neighboring
fountain. Soon he returned, looking
much cleaner.
“Well, my boy,” said the professor,
“you have earned your dime; here it
'is.”
“I don’t want your dime, guv’nor,”
replied the boy. “You hang on to it

A recent story out of New Guinea tells that it is
not unusual to hear an American soldier say that he
intends to return to the island after the war and en-
gage in mining, trading or operating a plantation.
Lulls in the fighting have afforded servicemen an op-
portunity to see the beautiful side of the island and to
make note of the opportunities.
One of the sure effects of this war will be a shift-
ing of populations. In the many posts and fields here
in Texas are thousands of young Americans from
North, East and West; New Englanders, New Yorkers,
Californians. Hundreds of these thousands have seen
enough of Texas to like it, and have voiced their in-
tention to make their homes and try their fortunes
here when peace comes.' Thousands of Texas boys are
in New England, New York, California, Canada,
Alaska and countries overseas. Many of these will
stay when the war has been won. Oui’ society pages
record daily the marriage of the lovely daughters of
Texas to the stalwart sons of other states.
The shift in population is under way already, and
it will become more definite and more impressive. It
isn’t likely that many ex-soldiers will settle in Attu
or Kiska, but Alaska and Canada will claim some of
them, and there will surely be an interchange be-
tween the states. This will operate to eliminate any
real or fancied dividing lines, to do away with old
prejudices, and to contribute greatly to the unification
of the nation.
For that matter, the world will be reduced in size.
A son or friend in New Guinea won’t be so far away.
There may be such improvements on the many lonely
islands as will facilitate the landing and operations of
aircraft and make an antipodal flight easy going and
a matter of only a few days.—Dallas News.

The ghost, according to Chief Dep-
uty Sheriff Bill Decker, had gone
down the darin pipe.
Decker, like the Hardins, was glad
to see him go, because the sheriff’s
office had been after the ghost for
almost a week. Two deputies spent a
day in the house, and while they
looked directly at a locked door, the
door flew open. While they inspected
furniture the furniture would sud-
denly turn over. Just like it had
before Mrs Hardin and the children
decided to move into the home of
relatives. And such goings-on don’t
quiet the nerves, even of nerveless
deputy sheriffs.
It was a plumber who finally
solved the riddle. He discovered
pockets of sewer gas in a pipe lead-
ing away from the kitchen sink, and
after he cleaned the pipe the ghost
disappeared.
Apparenlty, according to Decker,
just enough gas had collected to
cause a series of explosions that
rocked the house, upset the furniture
and made rumbling noises through-
out the place. Worn parts in a lock
were credited with allowing the
locked door to fly open when a slight
jar would shake the building.
At least, Decker and the Hardins
hope that this solution is correct.
They don’t want to see the spook re-
turn. Life is much simpler when the
spook’s away.
WASHINGTON. — A system
running busses without gasoline won
a temporary federal permit for a pri-
vate bus line June 19 and the re-
strained comment from Joseph B.
Eastman, director of the Office of
Defense Transportation (ODT) that
“we will be glad to see it tried out.”
Digging up an old process for using
waste gases, Vernon A. Trigger,
superintendent of an amusement
park near Springfield, Mass., oper-
ated three converted autohaulaways
last week-end without using a drop
of rationed gasoline, he told Mr.
Eastman. His improvement of the
process was a method of varying the
engine speeds, which previously
made it impractical for motor trans-
port, he said.
Mr. Trigger and his boss, Edward
Carroll, explained that either refin-
ery or sewage gases may be used, in
. fact nearly any waste gas. They said
they simply buy a tankful, which is
roughly equivalent to 11 gallons of
gasoline, from a wholesaler and
through a system of valves and what
not release it in their auto engines
without making any major changes
in the motors.
Mr. Eastman said that while the
method might save gasoline, it would
probably have limited application.-
“After all,” he pointed out, “steel
tanks, compressing machinery and
refinery gases are not easily obtain-
able.”
The British and Russians are said to be puzzled
and worried over strikes, race riots and other evi-
dences of disunity in the Uinted States, and to be dis-
mayed by the controversies between the President and
Congress. This view of > our Allies is logical toward a
domestic situation in America which impairs mutual
■effort for victory and indicates that our people are not
alive to the seriousness of the war.
In contrast, Britain, also a democracy, is on a total
war basis, and her coalition government, directed by
Prime Minister Churchill, is supported by all political
parties; complete national unity in the face of peril
prevails, taxes range upward as high as 90 per cent,
everyone is regimented and men, women and children
are working in the war program. Elections under the
■elastic British system are deferred for the duration,
and yet the British can at any time change their Cab-
inet and Parliament, if they fail.
America on the other hand operates under a rigid
system which under the Constitution compels a na-
tional election next year and brings the disunity and
dissension incident to a political struggle for power.
And in a wartime crisis, factions and individuals clam-
or for “rights,” privileges and employments as usual.
Thus, in the name of democracy and the Constitution,
there arises a state of affairs in our country which not
only worries our Allies but also should be causing our
own people considerable anxiety. In Britain, as well
as in Russia, self-discipline, a functioning love of
country and awareness of crisis prevail among the
people. Duty rather than liberty is the dynamic force
that governs Britons and Russians.
The need for these fundamentals in Americans is
apparent at this time. The necessity for a coalition
government, complete national unity, all-out war ef-
fort and the subordination of “rights” to obligation to
country is the same in America as in Britain and Rus-
sia. Our leaders in both parties and in all functions
must understand that fact and recognize the possible
cost of our policy of “democracy as usual.”
John L. Lewis as a disturbing force has been put
in his place, but no cure-all of the war program was
effected as a result. The re-election or defeat of the
President in 1944 likewise will not transform our di-
9,000 Navy Boys
Enter College
DALLAS. — Approximately 9,100
students from 30 colleges and uni-
versities within the Eighth Naval
District have put on uniforms
result of the inauguration of
Navy’s V-12 College Training
gram Thursday, July 1.
Under the program the Navy has
contracted with colleges and univer-
sities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala-
bama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklaho-
ma, and Texas, to furnish instruc-
tion, housing, messing facilities, and
medical service to a minimum num-
ber of young men.
According to Captain Harry D.
Power, director of Training for the
Eighth Naval District, the V-12 pro-
gram has three minimum objectives.
The first is education. The second is
physical training to fit young men
who may be called upon to serve as
officers for the rigorous demands of
war; and the third is military train-
ing, which, under the V-12 plan is to
be definitely subordinated to the oth-
er two objectives.
Officer candidates will be permit-
ted to take part in college athletics
and in other extra-curricular activi-
ties on the same basis as civilian
students insofar as such participation
does not interfere with their hours of
Naval duty or with success in their
courses of study.

A Newly-inducted private wrote
his family some few days after he
had arrived at camp: “I’ve gained 60
pounds since I came here—two
pounds of flesh and 58 pounds of
equipment.”
WASHINGTON. — Arms produc-
tion failed to show any gain in May,
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
War Production Board disclosed
Tuesday in a gravely worded report
which described the slackening of the
production pace as a very serious
matter.
Apparently hinting at imminent
military operations on a major scale,
Nelson declared in his monthly pro-
duction communique: “We are on the
verge of one of the greatest trials in
our national history.
“We cannot afford to relax our ef-
forts for an instant. On the contrary,
we must prepare ourselves to meet
calmly and steadily the
strains to which we may
subjected.”
Overall war prdouction was vir-
tually unchanged in May over April,
the WPB chief said. Gains were re-
corded only in aircraft, which went
up 5 per cent, and in Navy and Army
vessels, up 2 per cent.
Major Programs Off
In the other major program, de-
clines were recorded: A 3 per cent
drop in tanks, artillery, antitank
weapons and other ground ordnance;
a 7 per cent setback in miscellaneous
munitions, and a 4 per cent drop in
