The truth is tha' Berlin wrote it during the 1914 World war as the finale of a comedy entitled "Yip Yip Yap-hank." The song wadiscarded from the comedy as the national state of mind was not ready for it, Berlin believed It wa.« n t till Kate Smith was looking for . radio theme song that the composition was rediscovered. Kate Smith has sung* this quarter-century-old song into the hearts of all Americans, but we were wrong wh^i, we Bright Accent CongresssMn are "Mugged" With a military guard thrown around the House and Senate Office i Buildings from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 a. m., Congressmen and Senators who desire to work evenings in their offices are experiencing difficulties.

At a meeting of the Illinois Republican members held this week, Representatve Ai.ton J. Johnson of Macomb, a member of the Committee on Agriculture reported that his committee had been advised that "ten pounds of synthetic rubber can be produced out of a bushel of wheat or corn or any agricultural commodity with starch or sugar in it; that one hundred and twenty million bushels of corn or wheat would produce 600,- G00 tons of rubber which is our normal consumption; that would be about five per cent of the corn crop of the nation." It is estimated that synthetic plants could get into production about six months after they were set up. On the other hand, it was pointed out that there are 20 million untapped rubber trees in Brazil that are available for immediate use if we so desire. Relics of the Civil War Underneath city sections of the Capital are certain old underground tunnels and storehouses. They have not been in use since Civil War days when they were utilized as ammunition storehouses. Recently they have been explored to ascertain their feasibility as possible air raid Shelters. ! Constructed of stone and cement they | were found to be approximately 6 feet I high and 6 feet wide. Through disuse j tor seventy-five years they had become filled with sand and debris.

He is certain that this is due to heart disease and that his days are numbered. However there art* many causes for pain in this part o. the chest only a few of which are jlue to heart disease. There are so many causes because several organs in addition to the heart,- skin and muscles are supplied with nerves from the same segments of the spinal cord. Pain over the heart, (precordial pain) may be due to a spasm of the muscle at the inlet or outlet of the stomach, to high acidity of the stomach juices (heart burn) or to an irritable bowel. Pain due to diseases of the pancreas and spleen may also be referred to this region. Mfe fate frM terusiif Diseases in toe MMStates per 100,000 PepelitiM Dr. Nathan S Davis III Hit Thea Where JSV.

It becomes absolutely vital wheii Ive are at war. It should be of interest, therefore, to take a look at the annual steel producing capacity of the nations engaged in this present war as listed in the following table: United States--88 million tons. British Empire--20 3/5 million tons. Russia--21 4/5 million tons. Germany, Japan and all Continental Europe except Russia--60 3/5- million tons. From these figures we learn that the United States alone can produce three tons of steel for every two tons ihat can be made by Germany, Italy, Japan and all the Axis-dominated countries of the world put together; that the combined steel capacity of the United States, the British Empire and Russia is considerably more than twice the Axis total; and that even if two-thirds of the Russian capacity should fall into German hands, which nohr seems unlikely, the Allies still could* make €0 per cent more steel than Germany and the rest of the world. * These statistics and the facts arrived at therefrom should be most comforting to the American people. They conclusively prove that in steel production we and our Allies have a very wide margin over the Axis powers. Because of our superiority in steel production alone, any rational human being must concede eventual military defeat for Hitler and his mob. Moreover, as the same dominance is true of most of the other things essential to waging war, Axis defeat is even more certain. What has made possible this American preponderance in the manufacturing of munitions and implements of war? The Competitive Enterprise is responsible for it. No one successfully can challenge that statement. Therefore, as the Competitive Enterprise System has given and is giving us a definite "edge" over the enemy in so far as the sinews of war are concerned, plus the fact that it gave us the world's highest standard of living during peace-times, we should as a nation exercise every precaution that in winning the war we m-- ^ j f «|. •r»5 csajj ,*»««« H n 1 14 sutii ea at* itn, w> m «i M twice Tola Tales feVlassf the Plalntatai sf Tsars Age TWENTY YEARS AGO all necessary makeup accessories yet not to bulge, is a smoothly designed double-faced mirror, small System intact.

One of the most common causes of pain over the heart is inflammation of the nerves between the ribs or their irritation by bony overgrowths in the spinal column. Pains in the muscles between the ribs due to their being strained by lifting, retching or coughing or to their being injured are thte most frequent of all. Broken ribs may also cause pain over the heart. Syphilitic disease of the heart and aorta not infrequently causes a narrowing of the openings of the coronary arteries and a diminished blood supply to the heart. It frequently is the cause of chest pain. As it may also cause a leaky aortic valve, it, too, jriay cause serious disorders of rKfrffim. Fortunately, due to the improved methods for the treatment of syphilis and to the vigorous campaign being waged against it by Surgeon General Parran of the United States Public Health service, this kind of heart disease is becoming less of a mena c e . ' Spasm Pain* ' 7 Hafromtig of the eortmary itteries which in places results in a narrowing of the vessels, limits the flow of blood and may cause some precordial discomfort. A spasm in such a vessel due to a cold wind or to exertion, anger, or excitement may cause very severe pain which* usually subsides quickly when activity is stopped. Certain. drugs which relieve the spasm of the artery and cause it to dilate, cause the pain to cease almost miraculously. This type of heart pain is quite Common in older people es> pecially during cold weather. It often appears for the first time when a patient goes out in the cold after an attack of "flu." • •- The most serious and most severe heart pain and the most lasting 1s that which usually develops when one of the arteries of the heprt is blocked by a blood clot. This cuts off the blood supply and destroys a part of the heart muscle whicf. after several weeks is replaced by scar tissue. Most of the people who develop clots or spasms in the hardened coronary arteries recover, but are rarely able to carry on as they did before. If you have a pain over your heart, even if it is not severe or alarming, see your doctor and find out what is causing it< Then follow his advice and so remove its cause or prevent its return.

With such a record yoa're probably wondering why the subject is even mentioned here.

Suppose you bad a picture record ot every important event in your home town during the last five years, or every important local characte.. Right now, at your fingertips, you'd have a veritable treasury of local history. There's no reason why yoa can't assemble such an album if yoa start picturing the local scene at once.
