ON MEN AND THINGS (By Spectator) All of ua owe military service to our (ountr*y. 1 have no right to expeot my nelghhQr to make sacrifices for mo unless, I, too, am doing ,uy part, ?!th.( it) the military forces, or in some ivllian capacity worthy of a citteen ivho recoRnises hi obligations. The selective if epnscrlpt service may be explained m this ground: the military forces ??- l ?n*>n of all trades and expei en 8. If the noed for a hundred h< ?ami men of me hanical ability. I ould not till the jill; but if a mill o mec an lea should volunteer.,It mil h'. l.v< a surplus to the army and h >p- ?ei' .y deplete our ivar auxiliary s< rv* < at homo. So it in, with every I-fa ' i <?f the aervlce. Makers will be ? nied and barbers; uut the Army > ?1 not be able to use t hundred tht-ufr <nd bakers, nor a nmdred thousand barbers. The Conscription hill is 'o pnable the Army to call to service the type and number >f men needed. The Conpo Ipi ox bill has been op* potted stoutly a* un-American and unnecessary. and ?11 that. Some great (Inures tell us that wo haven't even the uniforms to cloth? a force, of a tbout what we have not, and what we can't do. that I wish the experts would help to get something done, and stop talking about the difficulties. Organs of public leadership perform n great service in turning the light du tho delays and bungling of our bureaucrats; aroused and informed public interest is a wholesome corrective o? many difficulties. Before the force of aggressive opinion the small differences melt away, and the great engine of national preparedness will-gather speed and yet more speed under the momentum. The Inertia of officialdom Is proverbial. so the nation has cause to rejoice in the frank, blunt critics even though they exaggerate. We need all the prodding and spurring of a vigorous people, who want tangible results, not words of re-assurance. We need guns, ammunition, airplanes, tanks, ships, trained men. We have the basic materials, so let's do the Job. All the difficulties are man-made; why then don't we romve them? That is worth keeping in mind; we have j all the raw materials for the Army,, Navy and Air Service, from men to guns; the task is to use them quickly and efficiently. The laws which sometimes stand in the way are laws of Congress. Shouldn't our leadership be capable of giving the national program the right-of-way? Or must it stop at every corner for a green light, or to avoid a traffic, Jam? Someone has remarked that before the Civil War we were accustomed to conscription in the. South. We need not go so far baefc. The Constitution of South Carolina says: "The militia of this State shall consist of all ablebodied male-citizens of the State between the ages of eighteen and foityfive years?and shall be organized as the General Assembly may by law direct." There is such a thing now as a cotton-cement shingle. The Manufacturer's Record?an authority on such matters?says "Public acceptance will bo prompt. The product evidently will free roof designing from numerous construction restrictions. The shingles are manufactured on the building site and laid wet, ten teen minutes after makiug.^ It has a strength and working flexibility heretofore unclaimed for cement or other roofing materials. The shingles having been applied wet fit over old shingles perfectly, adjusting themselves naturally. After being put on wet. the shingles require about thirty clays to cure, and during this time the cotton performs a valuable service; it acts as a binder, holding the mortar together; Its fibers absorb the water of the mixture like wicjt*. Tests made in Government and other laboratories, equal to a hundred years of wear and tear left the roofing as good as new. This roofing was invented by a cotton farmer of Columbus. Mississippi, assisted by the United States Department of Agriculture, the Portland Cement Association and the Mississippi State College. I have no doubt it is a product, even if indirectly. of the great stimulative and research work of the National Cotton Council which is doing a remarkable fine piece of work developing demand j for cotton. [ have read with interest and appreciation the- letter by Mr. L. B. Atldy in I lie Lexington Dispatch New-, in which he dissents, from my conclusion that Kngland is more democratic in ivs government than "he Cni'ed Stated All that Mr Addy says is probnblv right. Imi' i was not arguing for thesame plan that the Knglish have, tac point which I made was that a government so immediately responsive to tho will of the people is nearer to the old idea of democracy than is our government. Whether their government or ours is better is not exactly the point 1 wished to emphasise. A pure democracy, of course would be a government In which the people themselves voted on every measure, A democracy means rule of Ihe people directly. In the United States we Jiavo not a democracy. Our? 1? ? re* preventative government, the representatlves thinking and acting for us and holding thelj; term of office whether we like them or not. A Democracy, In the United States, Is Just a name. The people rule only in theory. The weakness of the French system sprang principally from the multlpllc* lly of political parties. In our Congress we have two major parties; but in the French Chamber of Deputies they had probably a dozen. Thjat prevented any one group from having a working majority unless It constantly made trades with other groups. My reference, then, was only calling attention the fact that tho Urjtlsh gove nm nt?meaning 7' tho Parliament? an '<e turned out at,any minute, by tn rder for an election; and that tl > g vernraent itself can be turned "ou' at ruy minute by a voto of censure. 1 hope thm My. Addy will permit me to make t As exposition; and that he will write oftonor. * Secretary of *h*? Viv'' v.-. . a peuo r -iitaii eveu chance to defeat Germany?and feels] "quite cheerful about It". To Invade Great Brltian, Germany must destroy British air power, and It has by no means done that. G<frmany's 3 to 1 air advantage JyiH dwindled because, as the offensive nation, it has lost the most planes," he observed. Plans are being made by the Amer-I lean Red Cross and the Department r>t Agriculture to send several cargoes of surplus agricultural products to Finland for distribution among that nation's needy. Tentative arrangements provide for shipment of 250,000 bushels of wheat, ,50,000 bushels of rye, 1,760,000 pounds of lard, 2,600,000 pounds of dried fruit, 500,000 pounds of dried beans, 10,000 cases of cane syrup, 12,500 cases of grapefruit Juice, 250,000 pounds of raw cotton and 50,000 cotton blankets. The $62,000,000 contract awarded the Packard Motor car company for 3,000 Rolls Royce Merlin type aircraft engines will be followed shortly by a $125,000,000 comitment on behalf of the British government for 6,000 of the motors and parts, according to authoritative circles. In addition to this huge order, an official of the Packard company Indicated that options have been taken for an additional 10,000 motors for the British government and 5,000 for the United States. Arnold Edmunds, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd O. Edmunds, of Mt. Airy, N. C., fled from his mother when she attempted to give him a bath, ran to the porch of the Edmunds home and was killed when he pulled a huge washing machine over on him. Investigating officers said Mrs. Edmunds was bathing the child and that he slipped from her grasp, crying, and ran to the washing machine on the edge of the porch. He clutched at tho machine as he fell to the ground and it fell on him, killing him instantly. The federal reserve board reports one of the largest weekly increases in commercial, industrial and agricultural loan In years. In 101 leading cities from which reports were available for the week ended September 11, the Increase was $91,0^0,00. This was the largest increase since this form of statistics was Inaugurated in May, 1937. In these cities, it brought business loans to a total of $4,571,000,000, which was $412,000,000 larger than a year ago. What, if any, connection these loans had to do with the national defense program could not be ascertained. The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies will start phoning every home phone number ni New York city next week in a campaign to line up local sentiment for Great Brltian. There are 736,488 such numbers in the five borroughs, and it would take one person 29 years and 340 days, working an 8-hour day, including week-ends and holidays, to do the job alone. Fortunately the AidFor-Britian folks have a corps of 1,410 women who'll do the phoning, each one taking both sides of one page of a phone book. They expect to be at it for two weeks. Award of the Victoria Cross, highest decoration for bravery at Britian's disposal, to Lieut. Robert Davies and his "suicide squad" of four men who removed a delayed action bomb from historic St. Paul's cathedral in LonI don, is urged by the London News] Chronicle. There is some duobt as to whether the V. C. <&uld be given in tho circumstances, since it is awarded for conspicuous gallantry "in the presence of tho enemy." But The NewsChroniclo observed that "if their action is not gallantry at Its most conspicuous, then there Is no such quality as bravery."

Jones Construction company of Charlotte, N. C, for temporary buildings and facilities at Fort Jackson near Columbia. Thousands of leaflets extolling the German "master race" and villifying Poles as second-rate human beings have been distributed to Berlin households. ? Eight Interned Chinese soldiers are reported killed and 21 injured in an attempt to escape from an internment camp in the French concession at Shanghai. A shell loading plant to cost between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000 will be built at Gadsden, Ala., as a vital cog In the national defense program, 1 Rep. Andrew J.

The all-India congress committee, meeting in Bombay, has approved by an overwhelming majority its working committee's resolution withdrawing a conditional offer by the congress to cooperate with Britian In prosecuting the war.
