RECORD RUN OF BEEFSTEAK-—The Kansas City, Mo., stockyards handled an estimated 26,000
head of beef cattle in one day—for its biggest day since last Oct. 25, when some 80,000 head were
unloaded., The view above shows the yards during the peak cattle run, which might help bring lower

Congiessman Takes A Dim View Of
Navy Chief's Fancy Yacht Sequoia
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
WASHINGTON —(NEA)— Sec~
retary of Defense Louis Johnson
may be asked to turn his economy
guns on the fancy yacht Sequcia
which is assigned to the secretary
of the Navy. A congressman hap
pened to be on a small cruiser on
the Potomac River one Sunday
recently when the Sequoia steam
ed by him. A very lively party was
in progress on board but none of
the guests appeared to be in uni
form. It started the congressman
wondering. A quick investigation
showed that Secretary Matthews
seldom used the ship except for a
rare dinner party. But Dan Kim
ball, undersecretary of Navy, and
a couple of other high civilian of
ficials were in the habit of enter
taining guests on the luxury craft
quite frequently.
The ship serves little useful
purpose except for entertaining.
But a ecrew of 27 men, mostly
waiters and stewards in uniform,
is assigned to it 24 hours a day.

to the dock at the Anacostia, Va.,
air station.
Shorn of All Meaning
Uncle Sam now has an offiical
definition of swearing on the
record. It is supplied by Louis
Plost, a trial examiner for the Na
tional Labor Relations Board. In
recommending reinstatement of a
woman employe of the Indianapo
lis Glove Co., of Marion, Ind., who
had been fired for profanity, he
said:
“The day when a curse was de=
signed and intended to call down
the wrath of heaven upon any ob
lect, animate or inanimate, has
appily passed, Today, the words
of impreeation, cursing and blas
phemy survive in our speech shorn
pf their real meaning.

Until you've experienced the silent,

Packard calls it the “Limousine

magnificent Packard Limousine. But
the first and foremost secret of its
superiority lies in Packard’s costly
“self-controlling” suspension system.

“In the armies of the past, the

most of all the mule skinner, mas
tered the art, and raised it to great
heights. But, alas, the coming of
the gasoline engine has removed
the living spur to expressive, non
blasphemous profanity until now
only a pale substitute survives.
“The words are remembered,
but the music has been lost.”
Not Easy to Forget
The U. S. Maritime Commission
has now written off the books the
86 merchant vessels which Uncle
Sam loaned to Russia during the
war., Maritime officials never ex

Department, however, says the is
sue is nowhere near concluded as
far as it is concerned.
Now You’ll Know Him
Although the secretary of Navy,
Francis P. Matthews, seldom shows
up at any of the town’s social
functions, the few times he has, he
has been inevitably mistaken for
Secretary of the Treasury John
Snyder. The resemblance be
tween the two men is startling,
To avoid this mistaken identity,
however, Matthews has hit upon a
very smart gimmick. Whenever
there is a chance that Snyder
might be at some function which
he is also going to attend Mat

thick-rimmed glasses.
Can’t Be Too Sure
Matthews has been so busy
traveling around the country vis
iting Navy bases few of the offi
cers below the rank of admiral
have had a chance to meet him.
When a captain was assigned to
act as greeter and offiical host to

was going to make to a local haval
establishment, the captain had to

an opponent of the Republicans’

Outlook Getting Dimmer
The one bright light on the
otherwise dim military outlook of
the Chinese Nationalists has been
the fact that the Communists have
never had any kind of an air force.
Intelligence reports, however, now
indicate that the Reds might have
the core of a very good air arm.
As forces were hastily pulled back
from the Communists’ advance,
many fields loaded with surplus
U. 8. planes were abandoned with
no attempt to destroy them, The
field at Shanghai, for instance,
which was used by the U. S.
forces, was as jammed with sur
pius U. S. bombers and fighters as
some of the fields in the U. 8, An
American pilot who was one of
the last to leave the field reports
that no one thought of destroy
ing or burning those planes, which
were in usable shape.
The Nationalists didn’t use the
surplus aircraft because they
didn’t have enough gasoline for
the brand new ones they had, i

ABOUT NEURITIS AND NEURALGIA
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Neuritis means an inflamma
tion of a nerve or of nerves which
is accompanied by pain and tend
erness, disturbances of feeling or
sensation, and a certain amount of
muscular wasting Neuralgia
merely means that there is pain in
the nerve or nerves uwaiiv,? with=-
out the presence of Inflammation,
Because either neuritis or neu
ralgia can come from many differ
ent diseases or conditions, the
problem is always to try to find
the cause in cach case. They are,
for example, fairly “frequent in
diabetes, especially if the condi
tion has not been controlled by
suitable diet or insulin.
Nerve pains can come from vita
min deficiency, especially the lack
of vitamin B-1. One type of neur
itis is common among the vietime
of chronic alcoholism,
Kepiace Vitamin B-1
Perhaps at least part of the
reason for this is that such per
sons substitute alcohol as a food-in
place of a properly batanced diet
containing enough vitamin B-1.
Whether this is true or not, this
type of neuritis can be much im
proved or even relieved entirely
in many cases by giving enough of
this vitamin., . = ° .
Except in the simple cases, neu
ritis and neuralgia are often diffi
cult to treat satisfactority. In
some cases the pain is so severe
and so long-lasting that human
nature i#s strained to the utter
most to stand it. Relief has some
times been obtained by killing the
nerve by injecting alcohol or by
cutting the involved nerve surgh
