EDITOR’S FORUM IN EUROPE AND ASIA there is war, —.undeclared, — but as real as though the slaughter and waste were authorized by properly sealed documents. There is. a war boom, however, that needs no formal declaration to describe its status. Europe and Asia are feeling its effect. The United States feels it, too. In one month this year more pig iron was exported from this country than in eight years ending with 19" 36. The guns, bullets, planes, trucks and miscellaneous equipment of war being used in Spain and China are providing employment for thousands of workers and returning profit to hundreds of enterprises. Japan, preparing to begin a five years program “to strengthen national defense,” has been enjoying a war boom for at least the last five years. A change of military policy now, would wreck the country. In England, France, Germany, Italy and Russia factories are humming preparations for war. United States is getting its share of the business and hopes to get more. War is pleasant in the pre paratory stage. Failure- to acknowledge that fact — perhaps- inability to deal with it — has more than offset the success which advocates of peace have enjoyed in their campaign to prevent war by publicizing its horror in the fighting stage. , * * * THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT. — as even its .friends cpn<?ede, — will be amended in many particulars and one of the first pro visions likely to be changed is that fixing 65 as the age when benefits cease that no contributions shall be collected beyond that pojnt and no increase made in benefits payable. The worker now well along jn years cannot build up enough income by the time he reaches 65 to support himself. In many cases the amount would not equal the old age pensions provided by most states. The law will be changed to per mit the employe to continue on the job as long as his phisical con dition permits and to continue to make payments which wjjll in crease the benefits to be received when he retires. It was the law’s theory that its present form would induce aged workers to drop out and make room- for younger men. Second thought indicates that it would merely make employers more willing to keep the old men because they would not be required to contribute for them and thus would defeat the purpose of this provision. with The HOLLYWOOD is, as babes in arms know, the world’s film capital. It’s the glamour headquaters of the western hemisphere. The name is a synonym for moving pictures. There are several things wrong with these cherished beliefs. There is no town in California named Hollywood, but only a section of Los- Angeles bearing that name. * Hollywood does not appear in the postal guide, the census reports. The majority of movies are made in Culver City. Most of the stars live in Beverly Hills-, on the cost or up in the hills. Hollywood is nothing but a legend built on the fact that it was the first site of some of the important studios. Culver City is taking steps to swipe Hollywood’s name, and Hollywoodians are furious. It wouldn’t take movie fans long to decide, though They would have two Holly woods, in honor of the double feature. ALL TOO FREQUENTLY — we read of a serious accident to a child as a result of negligence in completely closing the car door. Children are notoriously careless, as well as impetuous, and car doors are heavy. The youngster may give it a pull so that the door closes, but fails to fully latch. Most drivers are keenly sensitive to any new rattle jn their car, and there is a slight rattle if the door is not fully closed. As a rule they will stop, open the door and give it a slam so that the double latch goes completely home. There is no danger of the door on a modern car flying open if it is properly closed. There is a heavy, double safety catch on every car made today. It is when the door is only partly latched that the youngster, fidgeting about on his seat, leans against the door and as if flies open tumbles out of the speeding car. It is just • another case of a driver showing a little more care and thought to his passenger when driving children. Due credit should be given to the care displayed by the child of today in crossing in heavy traffic. They are early taught this in school nad the warning lessons have sunk in to a point where a child is far more careful today than was one of the same age a generation ago. However, they still need and should have as their inherent right the additional supervision and protection of adults. * * * LAST SUNDAY HENRY PETAIN, great soldier of the World war, marshal of France and savior of the Allied cause in the confused days of 1917 and 1918, wept as he stood before a granite shaft glorifying the death of 123.000 American doughboys on the Mouse-Argonne plains. Choked with emotion, he gave the United States full credit for turning the tide of the World war againts Germany after Russia’s collapse had shattered Allied morale. A little more courteous generosity like Marshal Petain’s and a lot less niggardly second guessing like some of Great Britain’s armchair warriors have done at Arne rica’s expense, migh have prevented citizens- of this country from being so posit ive that the World war was a sucker game at their expense. Certainly it would have forestalled some of the pre sent confusion about a neutrality policy for the United States, whose inhabitants are trying to restrain their government with laws from playing a second time the part of fat boy for the lean and hungry statesmen who seemingly roam at will and at large over the continent cf Europe.

Michael J. Varga, Manager of Juvenile Order. “Of course, he laughed it off as best he could to avoid any unpleasantness; but I caught them looking at each other when no one was noticing, .and I ..have never seen such hatred! “As they left they thanked us for an enjoyable evening — not enjoyable for us, in fact ---- but if they carry on like that in public, what must it be like when they are by themselves? “Every family, I know, has its ups and downs, its spits and spats, but those two made me turn hot and cold all over. They have two children, and one wonders what it means to them.” “Yes, such cat and dog living is hideouus, and the memory of such a home will be horrible in fter years. How strange that people torment and torture other, and enjoy doing it. . . . PEOPLE ARE NO DIFFERENT IN THE SUMMER . . . SOME TIME AGO — writes one of our district managers — we had a couple for dinner in a home where I was visiting occasionally, and the way the wife gave her husband away in front of other people heat anything 1 have ever seen or heard of. No matter where you go, whom you meet, people rem a i n fundamentally the same in summer and in winter, emotionally. In summer, people complain of the heat. We all do In winter, we complain of the cold. But summer and winter, the same necessities of life face each bread-winner when he rises and shines for the day’s work ahead. He’s got to earn grocery money. He’s got to earn the rent money. He’s got to clothe his children. He’s got to look after his family — to look ahead, summer and winter, night and day And the same appeals to the man’s better instincts — his sentiments — his emotions — apply this August as they did last January. People are no different in summer. We’ve just got something new to talk about — the heat. So there’s no logical or sensible reason to conclude "we always have a summer slump . . . people are too hot to talk — to buy.” As a matter of fact more people are approachable in the summer than are in winter. They’re sitting outside. They’re where you can see them . . . where you can talk to them in a friendly neighborly way — they’re generally on the front porch — within talking distance — within meeting distance. And the weather is still good lead-in approach. Everybody still talks about it, winter and summer. PROVIDING READY CASH There is much virtue in the growing disposition of thoughtful men to provide that the proceeds of their benefit certificates in our association shall be paid in monthly or quarterly installments. This provision is in effect a breadwinner when the father is called away. It provides cash money and at the same time guards the family against the mistakes made by many in having the large sum put at their disposal with no experience in matters of saving or investment. The installment plan is the husband’s best way to encourage thrift and carefulness in his family and it preserves the home. In this way the man becomes in large part his own administrator and the beneficiaries have an ever-recurring reminder of his love and forethought. — (The Befe HiveJ PLEASE DO NOT TRY to INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE if YOUR LIFE HAS NO VALUE VERY OFTEN a FEW DAYS DELAY GETTING YOURSELF INSURED MEANS THE LOSS OF MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS
