such materials, and we advise you
to do such work at once.
We have a complete line of lumber,
roofing, paints, shingles, wall paper
and other items, and we will be glad
to figure with you on any kind of
job you may have in mind.

Buying groceries is no different from buying
anything else. You get what you pay for in
most cases. You can buy JUNK groceries as
readily as you can buy junk automobiles. If
you buy groceries at Gordon’s, however, you
will not have to apologize for the foods on
your table, because Gordon sells only good
groceries.

in the Philippine archpielago, but
most of them are such mere specks
that they do not even beai- names.
There are 11 large islands that have
an area of more than 1,000 square
miles each. They are:

Muscular fatigue is easy to recog-
nize. It’s impossible to have a tired
muscle and not know it. But there is
another form of fatigue—far more se-
rious in its effects which you can
have and not know it.
That is nervous fatigue and it is
the result of dangerously lowered en-
ergy in the cells of your nervous sys-
tem. It has many symptoms, reports
Dr. Edward S. Cowles in the Decem-
ber Good Housekeeping magazin',
but they are so subtile and misleading
that they frequently go unrecognized.
Fatigue, writes Dr. Cowles, probably
causes more suffering, more unhappi-
ness, more failures in marriage and
business than any other thing, be-
cause it changes your personality,
dims your ability to make clear-cut
decisions and renders a vague irrit-
ability, restlessness and dissatisfac-
tion with yourself and your surround-
ings. You and your feelings blot out
everything else in the universe.
Dr. Cowles asserts that nervous fa-
tigue is the cause of much so called
“heart trouble,” as well as indiges-
tion, insomnia and migraine head-
ache. He states further that it is the
breeding ground of all the neuroses.
Nervous fatigue, the doctor explains
can be traced to the cells which com-
pose the body’s nervous system. The
nerves are formed by these cells, and
run like little wires which carry im-
pulses to the brain. As the impulse
passes through the cell an explosion
takes place and the charge is passed
from cell to cell until it eventually
reaches the brain. But if the cell’s
power to take up energy is lessened it
suffers immediately. Under normal
conditions, Dr. Cowles points out, a
cell is replenished with energy when
we sleep, but if the cell expends more
energy than is replenished, it natur-
ally grows weaker.
When the energy in a cell is low-
ered, the cell’s irritability is in-
creased, and this change causes us to
become increasingly irritable, appre-
hensive, emotionally tense and very
impulsive.
If you suffer from any of the men-
tioned symptoms, Dr. Cowles recom-
mends that you try to take life a lit-
tle easier. Learn to relax, to spend
more hours in bed. Acquire new in-
terests that will start you thinking
away from yourself. Learn to do
your work with your head and your

THE SUN
WASHINGTON. — America’s six-
year-old social security system is be-
ing turned to war service.
Survivors’ insurance benefits are
already being rushed to widows and
minor children of men lost in the Pa-
cific battle who had made the neces-
sary payments before they joined the
military services.
To further protect the families of
military men, Paul V. McNutt, Fed-
eral Security Administrator, has an-
nounced that Congress will be asked
to forbid the lapse of old-age insur-
ance and survivors contracts for all
workers who have joined the military
and naval forces or who have left
covered employment to work in Fed-
eral arsenals and other Federal es-
tablishments.
The present law says a worker’s
widow and children under 18 may re-
ceive benefits if the worker earned
$50 or more in at least six out of the
12 quarters just preceding the quar-
ter in which he was killed.
Credits “Frozen”
“Any lapse in employment reduces
the individual’s average monthly
wages and the amount of his benefit,
and if it is sufficiently prolonged,
may result in the loss of his insur-
ance protection under this system,”
Mr. McNutt explained.
At the same time, Mr. McNutt an-
nounced that 37 States and the Terri-
tory of Hawaii have amended their
unemployment compensation acts to
“freeze” the unemployment compen-
sation -credits of workers who have
joined the armed forces. This len-
iency will be particularly important
after the war when the nation will
have the job of readjusting millions
of military men to civilian life.
A further wartime use of the social
security system now under study in-
volves Government support for de-
pendent families of men called to the
service. Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
Selective Service Director, has indi-
cated that a number of married men
might be drafted if some way is
found to furnish financial support for
wives and families.
A system of support for dependents
of military men has been instituted in
Canada where their support remains
primarily a responsibility of the man
who provided for them in times of
peace, but if he fulfills this responsi-
bility by assigning a part of his mili-
tary pay to them, the Canadian Gov-
ernment provides a supplementary
allowance out of public funds.
These immediate wartime adjust-
ments in social security are sched-
uled to get the right-of-way in Con-
gress over other major changes in the
system recently proposed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. These include feder-
alization of state systems of unem-
ployment compensation; expansion ■'f
the old-age and survivors insurance
program to cover 27,000,000 more
persons, including domestic servants,
farm laborers, self-employed and em-
ployees of nonprofit organizations;
substitution of a flat, fixed sum con-
tribution for old-age assistance for
the present matching basis, and in-
auguration of a disability insurance
system.
Institution of a “dismissal wage” to
be held back as a. reserve to be spent
after the war and thus cushion the
shock of job dismissals after the war
emergency is also being discussed.
This type of inflation curb is in ef-
fect in England.
These far-reaching changes have
only been discussed informally. They
have not yet ^one -to the Congress in
a presidential message. Best informa-
tion at Social Security headquarters
Crime of War
“Greater Than ’14”
Government declared war on Spain,
and “Remember the Maine!” became
the rallying cry of the American na-
tion.
At 5:41 on the morning of the last
day of April, an American battle
squadron, under the command of
Comm. George Dewey, engaged a
Spanish fleet off Cavite in Manila
Bay. At 7:35 Dewey withdrew so that
breakfast might be served to his men.
Shortly before noon the engagement
was resumed, and within a few min-
utes tfi'e Spanish fleet was sunk to
the last ship. Dewey lost not a single
man. Seven United States sailors
were wounded slightly.
On July 3, the navy destroyed an-
other Spanish fleet in the battle of
Santiago (sahn-tee-AH-goe), Cuba-
One American was killed, and 10
were wounded.
On land, in the siege of the village
of El Caney (el kah-NAY) and the
battle of San Juan (sahn HWAHN)
hill, the American army defeated the
Spaniards,, losing 1,500 men, killed
and wounded.
Other battles were fought at Ma-
nila and Puerto Rico (PWAlR-toe
REE-koe), and the island of Guam
(gwahm) was occupied by a small
United States naval force. On Aug.
12, an armistice ended hostilities, and
the Philippines were declared a pro-
visional republic. Aguinaldo, return-
ing from Hong Kong, was president.
But the Filipinos were restive un-
der American control and soon be-
came unmanageable. On Feb. 4, 1899,
Aguinaldo declared war on the
United States. American troops has-
tened to the islands. Aguinaldo was
captured, and Gen. Miguel Malvar
(mee-GEL MAHL-vahr) surrendered
to Gen. Frederick Funston on April
16, 1902.
Whereupon, the Philippines passed
into possession of the United States,
to be watched ever after by the
bright, covetous eyes of the Nippon-
ese.
And once again the destiny of the
Filipino and his cherished islands
rests in the lap of the gods.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Lynn U.
Stambaugh, National Commander of
the American Legion, in a Christmas
message radiocast to veterans of the
World War, asserted the present war
was “brought to us by a group whose
crimes are far greater than those you
fought and defeated a generation
ago.”
Those who come out of the present
war, Mr. Stambaugh declared, will be
spared “some of the postwar hard-
ships you underwent.” The address
was broadcast nationally from Sta-
tion WCCO, over the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
“Just as you, by your service in the
Argonne and elsewhere, joined with
the earlier veterans of Valley Forge
and Gettysburg and San Juan,” he
said, “so now other younger veter-
ans .are joining with you, to uphold
and defend the principles for which
you fought in 1917 and 1918.”
“Already the Government
moved to give these new veterans
benefits of legislation and hospitali-
zation which you had to win the hard
way,” Mr. Stambaugh added.

WASHINGTON.—New recruits at
a Hawaiian naval station may have
been “a trifle too reckless” in the
Dec. 7 Japanese attack on Oahu, the
navy reported Saturday, “and their '
disregard for danger undoubtedly in-
creased the number of casualties.”
Describing acts of heroism while
Japanese planes dived on the island
the commanding officer of the Ka-
neohe Bay Naval Air Station reported
the recruits “without exception lived
up to the best traditions of the ser-
vice.”
Continuing, his report mentioned
the “reckless” attitude and said:
“It was necessary to constantly
urge the men to scatter and take cov-
er because most of them were so in-
tent on repulsing the attack that they
were disregarding the enemy’s fire.”
Civilians also were praised for “ex-
treme gallantry in their disregard of
personal danger, and their attempts
to help salvage aircraft and put out
fires were commendable. They vol-
untarily undertook to repair electri-
cal lines and water mains and the
utilities of the station were out of
commission only a short while.”
Navy yard workmen “stayed on the
job” during the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, the naval report said. It told
of the workmen continuing with their
tasks under fire and said work which
normally required hours was com-
pleted rapidly while the air raid was
still in progress.

Streamlined History
The first word of the Philippines
was brought to Europe in the Fif-
teenth Century by the Portuguese
explorer Fernando Magellan (fair-
NAHN-doe mah-JELL-un), who lat-
er met death in an attempted inva-
sion of Mactan (mahk-TAHN), one
of t|ie lesser islands near Cebu.
After the Portuguese had estab-
lished themselves on the islands, the
Spanish, in a series of engagements,
wrested the islands from the Por-
tuguese, and, in 1572, founded the
city of Manila. But Portuguese hos-
tilities did not end until the union of
Spain and Portugal two years later.
Spanish exploitation of the Phil-
ippines continued uninterrupted for
182 years. In 1762, Manila was
stormed and captured by a British
expedition. But a year later Manila,
by treaty, was restored to Spain.
In the years that followed, the re-
sentment of the conquered Filipinos
against their Spanish masters con-
tinued to smolder until, in 1896, in
the province of Cavite, it flamed into
open rebellion. Spain dispatched
28,000 troops to quell the uprising,
and after 52 days of stiff resistance
the insurgents were defeated. But
the insurrection broke out anew and
spread to other provinces.
The fighting ceased when, in De-
cember, 1897, the Filipino leader,
Emilio Aguinaldo (AHG-ee-NAHL-
doe) surrendered his battered forces
and was sent to Hong Kong to
main in permanent exile.
Remember the Maine!
Meanwhile, relations between
Spain and the United States had
been strained almost to the breaking
point. And the rupture did come
when, on Feb. 15, 1898, the United
States battleship Maine was de-
stroyed by explosion in the harbor of
Havana. In April the United States
