of living for your family and
the most recognition for you
as an individual?
The answer is not hard to
guess. You would choose
America! Everything about
this big, new country has
combined to make it serve
the individual in his or her
“pursuit of happiness.” Its
vast wealth ... its variety of
climate . . . and above all, its
form of government “of the
people, by the people and for
the people” makes this the
best country in the world for
women.
The state, in our democ-
racy, exists for the sake of
the individual and not the in-
dividual for the sake of the
state, as in a totalitarian
country. The result is a na-
tion of independent, hopeful,
ambitious, fearless men and
women and rosy cheeked chil-
dren who look forward to a
life of the kind they choose
to live.
And perhaps that is the
most important thing about
America in these fearful days.

the act provides for subse- starving waifs, bringing all of
quent registrations only at
the call1 of the president.
Likewise the act and procla-
| mation were specific in limit-
ing the first registration on
October 16, 1940, to men be-

years on that date.
“The law is clear, there- Pe°Ple‘

not be required to register

Average American
Is 29 Years Old
The average American ns
28.9 years old, the census bu-
reau reported on Wednesday
after studying a 5 per cent
sample of the 1940 census.
The figures showed the
population is growing older.
In 1940 the average Amer-
ican was two and one-half
years older than in 1930, and
six years older than in 1900.
Men continued to predom-
inate but the bureau found
the margin of males over fe-
males declining. Some day, it
was said, women would out-
number the men as they do
in Europe and other areas of
older civilizations. There
were 101.1 males for every
100 females in 1940. Ten
yeas ago there were 102.5
malps npr 100 females.
Whites constituted 89.8 pjr
cent of the population in 1940,
exactly the same as in 1930.
Among whites, the average
age of both males and females
was 29.4 years. Among non-
whites, the males averaged
25.4 years and females 25
years.
The nation grew older, the
bureau added, by a decline in
the number of persons under
20 years, a small increase in
those between 20 and 45, and
a large increase in those 65
or older. The bureau esti-
mated that the number of
persons 65 or older increased
from 6,633,805 in 1930 to 8,-
956,206 in 1940 — a 35 per
cent gain. The average gain
for all age groups was only
7.2 per cent.
In 1940, out of the average
100 persons, 34.5 were under
20, 39 were from 20 to 44,
19.7 were between 45 and 64,
and 6.8 per 65 or older. In
1930 the figures in these
groups were 38.8, 38.3, 17.4
and 5.5.

The cneape3t of scientif
ically recommended diets, Dr.
Sellews says, is far beyond
the means of many persons.
Stressing the need for partic-
ular foods such as fresh milk
for children, she assets, re-
sults in mothers purchasing
these articles: They there-
fore have no money left to
buy anything which will fill
the stomachs of the young-
sters. Consequently they are
always hungry.
Dr. Sellews does not recom-
mend her menus for anybody
who can afford to spend more
than 15c a day. But she in-
tends living on it for the rest
of her life.
Breakfast costs 3c—coffee
with evaporated milk, toast,
and butter for adults. The
children get cereal with evap
orated milk instead. Dr. Sel-
lews buys the cheapest pos-
sible coffee and butted, also
day-old bread at three loaves
for a dime.
Lunch costs 4c. It consists
of pea soup or corn soup and
crackers.
For a solid dinner Dr. Sel-
lew spends from 7c to 8c. She
has several menus. One con-
sists of baked beans, hot dogs
and spinach. Another is a
stew with meat, potatoes,
tomatoes and macaroni. For
desert she serves day-old
doughnuts purchased from
bakeries for lc each. The
children are allowed to stuff
themselves.
Recently she found negro
families fresh from the coun-
try dining sumptuously on a
dish known as Hopping John,
a mixture of blackeyed peas,
rice and meat, the last, the
poorest quality of beef, tough
and with a lot of fat, which is
sold for a few cents a pound.
She has added this to her 8c
menus because it contains
most of the vitamins consid-
ered essential. To it, fo»* the
children, she adds an apple,
costing half a cent.
These rural negro families,
Dr. Sellew says, represent
about the poorest element of
the American population, as
far as money goes, but enjoy
fair health. Subconsciously,
they have hit on diets which
cost next to nothing and are
good for them. Once they
come to city slums, she ex-
plains, they begin to hear of
things they should eat, give
up their old foods and begin
to starve.
Dr. Sellew is training
classes of social workers. She
keeps her students on the
same 15c diet. From the be-
ginning she has refused of-
fers of financial help. She is
Dearborn, Mich. — When its
huge building program got under
way, the Navy faced another huge
problem, the training of men in
the highly technical duties which
crews are called upon to perform.
The existing naval training sta-
tions were already full. Turning
to industry, Navy officials found
that the Henry Ford Trade
School, situated in the heart of
the Rouge plant, was perfectly
suited to such training.
Henry Ford not only offered
tne iacuities oi buih wuuul iSu
plant to the Navy for this pur-
pose, but also said he would build
barracks for 1200 students, mess
hall for 2000, administration
building, provision storage, recre-
ation room, athletic field, a steam
generating plant.
The offer was accepted, and on
December 6, 1940, the first shovel
of earth was turned on the bank
of the Rouge River. Forty days
later the first contingent took up
quarters in the newly erected
buildings. The inauguration cere-
monies were described by Com-
mander C. P. Cecil as “unique in
the history of the United States
Navy—for we are dedicating the
first Navy Service School ever to
tie operated in connection with
civilian industry.”
With naval officers on the out-
door platform beside him, and
200 enlisted men drawn up in
front of the school’s administra-
tion building, Henry Ford said
that: “During the present crisis
our organization wants to do
everything possible to help
America and the President. The
Navy being our first line of de-
fense, I feel that the training of
these young men will vitally
benefit our nation. And, when this

says, what is a good diet for
people, but only what they
can have on what they earn
which will keep them in good
health.

waifs, mostly from broken ne-
gro families in the lowest
possible stratum of society,
will get plenty of better food
than they ever have had be-
fore, she says, but they will
not get an ideal amount of
vitamins. Left alone, they
probably would get far less
adequate amounts.
Comparisons
prevalent in the United States
in 1917 and 1941 are made in
the February issue of the
Typographical Journal
Here are some of the com-
parisons :
In 1917 there was still a
live and active labor move-
ment in all European coun-
tries except Russia.
In 1941 only the United
States and the British Em-
pire have free and voluntary
labor movements uncontrolled
by government.
We know that free and vol-
untary labor movements have
been the greatest factor in
the advancement of demo-
cratic processes.
In 1917 each country in the
world was content to control
its own form of government
and willing that other coun-
tries do likewise.
In 1941 (among the larger
and forecfuL nations) only the
British Empire and the Unit-
ed States are still committed
Some interesting compari-
sons between the conditions! "in 1941 these fundamental
crisis is over, we can then re-
claim these mechanically trained!
young men in our industries.”
In turning the facilities of
school and plant over to the
Navy for training personnel^
Edsel Ford explained that hi*
fattier had established the Henry
Ford Trade School 24 years ago-
“because he believed in using ther
facilities of die Ford Motor Com-
pany for something more than*
the building of motor vehicles-
He believed that these facilities
could -*1-" be used for th* hotScC-
ing of youth.”
Rear Admiral C W. Nimitz, who
came from Washington to repso-
sent Secretary Knox, accepted the-
facilities of school and plant, "t
can think oi no better place for
this extension of the Navy trailr-
ing program,” he declared. “I wish,.
Mr. Ford, to express to you the
appreciation of the Navy Depart-
ment for this fine demonstratior*
of patriotism on your part.”
The new Navy Service SchooF
will be under the administration,
of Rear Admiral John Downes,
Commandant of the Ninth Naval
District, which includes 13 states
and has headquarters at Great
Lakes, Illinois.
After explaining that the men
to be trained here come from
both the Pacific and the Atlantic,
as well as the Great Lakes, he
added: “We know that Mr. Ford
has here established the finest
school in the world for training
men in the mechanical trades.
This will be the most important
training center that the Navy h#t
for schooling its newly enlisted
men in the mechanical duties
which they will be called upon to
perform immediately upon join-
ing the fleet.”
to the principle of peace and
national independence — to
the principle of governments,
by consent of the governed.
In 1917 there was no organ-
ized war on religion by gov-
ernmental forces. In fact too*
many governments were too
close to leadership in religion
for the health of both. t
In 1941 (among the larger
and forceful nations) only
the United States and the
British Empire are committed
to the principle of freedom of
religion and tolerance in reli-
gious association
Iq 1917 it was possible to
spread the printed word in
practically all countries and
free speech was still but
slightly restricted in most en-
lightened countries.

freedoms are destroyed in all
larger and forceful nations
except the United Stages and
the British Empire.
Strangely enough, the com-
mercial war for trade an l
spheres of influence which
was the beginning and th*
essence of the world war in
1914, finally dragged the'
United States into the war..
However the propaganda used/
was idealistic — the slogan
was “Make the world safe
for democracy.”
In 1941 when all that
free people deem most sacred
and indispensable is being
threatened and destroyed,
the propaganda is material-
istic, “Defend only our own
shores.”
