Fantasia ^ rl Logical
c
Hitler will be beaten by 200 men he never heard of!
Fantastic and impossible as this sounds, there is sound
logic in a message sent forth by a nationally-known
steel corporation which says that American production
will swing Hitler, Hirohito, Mussolini and their gang-,
sters in the hangman’s noose, all because 200 men.
many of them who died before those human hyenas
wore whelped. A bomber an hour from this plant, two
tanks a day from that one, a shell a minute from an
other are miracles of production. Not one of them
would have been possible without the free American
industry these 200 or so men founded 50 to 75 years
ago. They were rugged Yankees. The founded little
machine shops to build crude turret lathes and other
machines they had dreamed. They and the men who
came after them worked no eight hours a day, but 10.
15 and 18 hours into the night to improve and perfect
the products they had conceived. They plowed back
profits in research and development. They trained
skilled men to enlarge and carry on the work—and a
steadily increasing American standard of living proved
that their machines made more good things of life
available to more people. Their factories and output
grew — and when the war came those plants were
ready. Many of the 200 men who started them are long
since dead, but the industries they founded have pro
vided the tools, production lines and experience that
make the airplane, gun and shell records possible. The
ironical part. Hitler, is that some of these 200 men
were Germans, who came to America to enjoy the
freedom and fruits of the private enterprise system
that is the American way.—Bremerton News-Search

S«*a Horses On Shore
One of our Washington dispatches reports that the
Coast Guard is about to set up a “corps of horse
marines, mounted guardsmen, to patrol desolate
stretches ol the coast line.” The horse marine, one
foot, on sea and one on shore, and two on a horse,
stirs the euriousity of a learned correspondent. He re
calls Clyde Fitch’s “Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma
rines,” in which Ethel Barrymore first starred. This
was produced at the Garrick Theatre Feb. 4, 1901. A
contemporary of Methusaleh permits us to quote from
his memory and that play these affecting lines: “I’m
Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, I feed my horse
on pork and beans, I often live beyond the means of
a Captain in the Army.”
The Aged One swears that he heard this sung in
public when Clyde Fitch was 5 years old. However
that may be, let us rest again on the bosom of the
Oxford Dictionary. A horse marine proper is or was a
sea-horse. A horse marine special is a marine on
horseback or a “cavalryman doing a marine’s work.
Two troops of the British Seventeenth Lancers, a fam
ous cavalry regiment, were called Horse Marines be
cause they fought as marines aboard a frigate. Accord
ing to Walsh's “Handy Book of Curious Information,”
half the line regiments in the British service “have
been either marine corps, sea service afoot, or employ
ed like the marines as soldiers embarked for service
afloat.”
How then does the term “horse marine” come to be
applied to a marine? Farmer and Henley, slang-collect
ors, call the horse Marines “a mythical corps very
commonly cited in jokes.” But where is the joke. Mar
ines arc1 both landsmen and seamen. There have been
plenty of horse marines, good fightqrs, seamen and
sailors all. Some envious sailor must have tried to
stick an epithet on our admirable amphibians.

William M. Bower, Army flier, decorated for bomb
ing Tokyo: “I am disappointed at the failure of the |
American people to realize fully that we are in a war
that we can lose.”

tion of Manufacturers: “I find the American worker
less befuddled than some of the intelligencia that;
seek to mislead him.”
