The RED RIYER TUMBER (0. MItr. pAcToRIES, GEN. OFTICE WESTWOOD, GALIFOBNIA LOS ANGEI.ES OFFICE Werten Pccific Buildiag tt** ttttt firat brave boy knew the answer to a question that Napoleon asked. In 1798, Napoleon, seeking more worlds to @nquer, sailed for Egypt, and took with him many of the foremost engineers and scientists of that time. One night on ship deck these mcn got to discussing religion. Most of Orem were atheistic in their beliefs, and told why.

If anything happened to You, we'd all be 8unk."

What a simple, faith-packed remark it was tfiat I read the other dan coming from the lipa of an American pilot who had just escapcd death. His plane nrent into a spin and stafted for the earth at more than 8OO miles an hour, ao the report said. He tried every trick he had becn taught to pull her out of the spin. No use, Scaight down she wcnt. So, finding he could do nothing, hc let go the controls and waited for what Providence was bringing him. Suddcnly tbe ship began straightening out, and the next thing hc knew she vyias on a level keel. The peril was past. So he reached for the controls, and remarked: "I'll take ovcr now, God"" Beautiful, eh?

Winston Churchill handed the world a phrase that was copiously copied and quoted when he referred several months ago to the Mediterranean shores as the'.soft underbelly of Europe." What did he mean, .'soft',? At Salerno, and elsewhere, brave American boys learned different.

An old philosopher remarke that the way they are beating the &ums right now to enlist women in the various branches of our armed services, it looks like the duty of every man abovc the gun-carrying agc to get a job cooking and thus rcleasc an ablc-bodied woman for war work.

"A bureaucrat,'f salzs Luke Mcluke, "is a man who loves regimentation for its own sake." "And a politician," hc adds, "is one who sees nothing wrong with Bubonic Plaguc if it's a member of his oT f**t that has it."

I don't know who Louise Lindsay is, but that name is attached to a four-line rhyrne that somconc mailed me the other dan that reads:

Brother, you may not like Harold Ickes, but you'll have to admit that the way things are going now he's fixing to put a car in every American it*;"*d leave it thcre.

And thcn there was the boy in uniform who went into the Stage Door Canteen onc evening, who ate two pieces of pie, four doughnuts, drank a cup of coffee, danced twice with Betty Grable, and was kissed by Hedy Lamarr before he had a chance to explain that he was only a Western Union messenger trying to deliver a telegram.

"Lfncle Joe" Cannon, of lllinois, for many years Speaker of the ffouse of Rcpresentatives, was a vigorous critic of this country's habit of sticking its nose in the affairs of other nations. Once nrhen the U. S. was interferring with something that was going on in South America, "'lUncle Joc" was heard to snap out: "\il/hat wc Americans need is a darn good licHng!" Then he thought a moment, and added: "The hell of it is T.T'r lobodf can do it !"

And then there was the woman who kissed hcr buck private husband good-bye at the depot, and then burst into wild tears as the train pulled out. Another woman tried to comfort her.
