AN ALERT for the Albany State Guard
ttmpany wat tounded at 3:00 a. m. Saturday
0 morning, and forty-one men and officert turn
out promptly. The men had been warned
tkm.% an alert would be tounded tome time thit
week, hut they didn't know what night. The
tarnout wat excellent, and greatly pleated the
•fficert. The alert for the Guard it three
Haiti of the fire tiren, and any time three
llaalt are aounded Guardsmen are to turn out
with full equipment.
Guard newt it in the province of Corporal
Doraey Looney who writet tuch an interetting
column each week, but. we ware so wall pleated
with the retponte to the alert, we had to add
thia tquib about it. Incidentally Lt. C. B.
Downing had arranged for bacon and eggt and
eefifee for an early morning breakfast at Trout
Tank and did a good job of it. Sgt. Ben G.
Reynolds, the efficient tupply sergeant, had all
tneat kits ready. This alert was practice for
the maneuvers in August, when three battalions
are going to gather for some fine experience
prohably at Fort Griffin, but more likely at
Camp Barkeley maneuver area.

tanues to meet good response, for which we are grate?
Nil. The News has always carried a big subscription

from year to year. As long us we can continue to

T-5 JAMES A. WATSON, of the <>7th Medi-
cal Refitment, Camp llarUeley, visited the New.
•fafice Friday and informed us flint Tuesday,
July 13th, he would celebrate bis second anni-
irersary in the Army. He plans to spend his
anniversary, he says, in Albany.
Watson is from Detroit, Mich, and lias been
at Barkeley ten months. He has a brother in
the Navy. The extent of this Second World
War can be realized when we remember that
many of our young men have already spent
two years in the armed forces. Very few men
were in the Army or Navy two years during
World War I.
LAST WKKK we reported the fact that I'arin
lok&s would he handled for Shackelford county in
tke future from Breckenridge. We made the mi
tate of calling the agency the Stamford Production
Gradit association when we should have reported it
STEALING CANDY 'from a baby is an old
expression, but something new it "Stealing Milk
from Babies." This week we received a letter
from a nationally-known baby food manuiar-
turer asking us to join them in urging the
American people to lay off stealing the baby's
canned food. The letter, in part, followt:
"It's apparent that the country it approach-
ing a rather teriout shortage of baby foods, for
which a number of factors are responsible.
First, there is a sharply increased birth rnte
(the first quarter of 1949 wat 17 percent
greater than the first quarter of 1942); second,
there's the WPB's container order which re-
stricts baby food canners to 100 percent of
their 1942 production in tin, and 12.5 percent
of their 1942 production in glass; third, there's
the fact that OPA has issued ration books to
some 5,750,000 babies under two years of age,
each of whom is entitled to 48 cans a month
or 48 dozens during the period of a year. That
provides a potential demand for something over
2.50,000,000 dozens of canned baby foods, and
that at a time when the industry is restricted
to the production of not more than 35 million
to 40 million dozens; fourth, there's the fact
that higher incomes have encouraged more lib-
eral use of baby foods; and fifth, there's the
attractively low ration point value which has
prompted some families, other than those in
which there are babies, to use these foods."
The manufacturers are urging newspapers to
urge the public not to buy baby food for any
purpose other than feeding babies. A critical
situation could easily develop in the nation
should this practice continue.
ULIA1L SALI.S AUK I P. Thi fact i brought
to our attention by the Texas University Bureau of
Business Research, which reports Texas independ
cut retail store sales this year are 2."> percent above
1942, on the basis of records for the first five
months of each year.
In connection with thi report, I niver^ity author-
ities report Texans may earn as much a five and a
half billion dollars during 19-1M. The I'niversity
economist estimate non-agricultural payroll will '
reach li.7 billion dollar ; farm cash income, bil '
lion; minerals, nearlv on.- billion; and value added '■
to goods by inanufactur.ng, approximately one half !
billion. In 19112 I'exa income \sa- I.'J billion
Looks like there will be plenty of money circulat-
ing in I exas thi year. Since I exan can't buy new
cars, can't build new home-, and are curtailed in
buying maris other- of the "must.>", they arc invest
ing their money in War Bond.-.
NEW MONKY is in circulation, as everyone
has noticed. I he American penny is no Ion ge
a "copper," as copper has gone to war. New
pennies are shiney, and if you don't observe
closely you will think they are dimes.
Another new coin, as far as the metal is con-
cerned, is the five-cent piece. It is no longer a
nickle. Nickel has also been conscripted for
war use, and the new five-cent pieces are made
of something else.
Their value, however, is the same, and no
one questioned their worth when they appeared
on the market. Americans have a tjreat faith
in their government and monetary system.

I'erhitpH the most brilliant writ-
er ever to enter the field of
phychologicul action was Professor
William James. His famous chap-
ter on "Habit," written many
years ago, still stands as a classic
today, "We are spinning our own
lates, good or evil, and never to
be undone—. The drunken Hip
Van Winkle, in Jefferson's play,
excuses himself for every fresh
dereliction by saying, 'I won't
count this time,' Well he may not
count it but it is being counted
none the less. Down among his
nerve cells and fibers the mole
cule< are counting it, registering
and storing it up to he used

Dr. William Mayo i|ri lared llial
pen cut ol all drillkei he comic
drunkard and that thou and die
of the effect of alcohol .vilhout
ever hav ing been drunk. The h mi
1 ai imbibing of moderate amount
of alcohol, which warp the victim
in the coil, of an increasingly un
breakable habit, i. one danger
which cannot he hidden or laughed
away.
Dr. (Jeorge It, Cutten, national-
ly known educator anil former
president of Colgate I'niver ity, in
a recent article savs that habit is
one of nature's greatest economies
and accounts for ! !) percent of our
act.-, lie also show why alcohol
becomes an insistent and tenacious
habit much more so than the or
dinary acts of life,
First there is little or no de:-ire
to break the habit. The mail who
can "drink or leave it alone" us-
ually drinks, and the man who
"drinks a little now and then"
drinks more now than he did then.
It is an escape, an artificial world
where those "who can't take it"
can run to hide from life's reali-
ties, but when they awake the
realities are more real and the
problems more serious. So the
round continued in a vicious circle
with no desire to break out for the
dread thought of having nowhere
to run.
In the second place, Dr. Cutten
points out that the drinker's abili-
j'.v ol elf-appraisal ha been con-
torted. f he fine co-ordination
anil delicately balanced mentality
necessary for judgment are ex
tromely vulnerable and are the
first capacities to how the effect
of alcohol. When judgment is
affected, what is left is not very
reliable. I hus alcohol interferes
with the performance of skilled ac
tion when the victim judges him-
self to he more skillful; it weak-
en hi. muscular powers, while he
considers himself to be stronger; it
lowers li s bodily temperature, but
lie believe - him.-ell tii he warnirr;
t low. hi reaction time, hut he
lire he is speedier; it deteriorate
the quality of his work, hut lie
1 hinks it is better; he deems him
elf to he wittv and bright when,
| indeed, he is only silly. We can,
j therefore, readily see the fallacy
| of the statement, so glibly tossed
off, "A man should know when
lie's had enough." When most
drinkers have had enough they
have had too much and don't know
an ything.
I hen the drinker not only has
I no desire to break the habit nor
| has enough judgment to gee the
need for it but soon his weakened
personality has no power to break
it. Alcohol hits hardest at the
! nerve tissues and fibers of the.
j brain and spinal cord, the citadel 1
of personality. The most pitiful I
sight on earth is a being who was I
I once a person of superior gifts and !
I attractive personality, whose pal- I
' sieil hands, tangled speech and
sluggish brain reveal a potential '
man who has thrown his opportun- j
ities and talents on the flaming j
altar of rum.

Of all tiie trips your columnist
has made, three stand out because
of the names of transportation.
One occurred when I was a
young police reporter and stood on
the back 'Ie|i of a bouncing, . way-
ing police patrol that was going 50
mile an hour through city tree' .
I

piloted by Captain Yancey, who

page "streamer" material. An
auto gyro ha its propeller on top
and thi queer looking contl'ivati e
"take off" alter going along the
ground only a few feet, and it can
come altno-t straight down.
Have you ever looked at a vul-
ture hanging mot ionic against a
brilliant blue sky and wondered
how it would feel to land 'till in
mid-air'.' Well, you can do that in
an auto-gyro.
We were over the business sec-
tion of Fort Worth when Captain
Yancey kicked it out of gear and
there we hung while we chatted
to be more exact, he chatted; pro-
bably I chattered, or at least my
teeth did. (The lifting force of the
wooden blades overhead is suffi-
cient to hold the plane almost
tockstill for a while, then it starts
ea ing toward the ground utile
the pilot puts it back in gear).
And the third trip that was
memorable because of the method
of transportation was aboard a
private railroad car. Yes, sir, a
journey on a private car for a fel-
low who had never known any-
thing on the rails more sumptuous
than the rather restricted space of
a berth.
There were three railroad offi-
cials and a combination cook-valet-
waiter-porter aboard. It was an
inspection journey over the Chil-
dress-I'ampa line, which was prac-
tically completed but not yet open-
ed to regular traffic, and this ob-
server was then a staff writer fot
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
For three days, your columnist
