I have promised him strawberry shortcake for supper if hell cut the grass this afternoon and I sit on the side porch stemming the red. heart shaped berries. But in my neighbors house across the lawn the radio is going. I try to dose my ears and still my mind. I will think only of the sunshine, the fragrance of new ' mown grass, the shortcake I am go ing to give my hungry family . . . But even if I close my ears to the radio the dread headlines of the i morning paper race through my mind. And suddenly I want to chuck 'the half stemmed berries into the ; garbage pail, pull my apron over my face and cry and cry . . . What does it matter whether the supper I get for my family is good . or not? A million families half a ' world away will be hungry tonight! What does it matter if the grass is cut or allowed to go to untidy seed? ; Utter destruction 1b wasting the sweet green lawns in other lands and why should I know the satisfac tion of sitting on my own little porch on a sunny afternoon watching my child when women by the tens of thousands will never see their homes again? Then there is quiet in my yard as the lawn mower stops for a moment. And Johnnie, turning a grinning freckled face, waves to me from across the pansy bed. Such a flood of love pours into my heart that there is now no room for fear! My fingers reach for the berries again. For that strawberry shortcake is important! I see it now. It's part of the pattern of security and comfort and "every-dayish-ness" that I, as a -woman, am privileged to build against this terror that stalks the world.

Omcentration Is The Kej To Success, Says Psychologist Marston sine so-called "genius" nas no more mental equipment' than the average 'normal - person. He merely knows the secret of ; applied concen tration, says Psychologist William Moulton Marston, who discusses the "secret" in a current Rotarian Mag azine article. wr" - In this age of-distractions, with interruptions by phone, friends, wars, noise, "scares"' and our own flighti ness, concentration "is essential to the'.full enjoyment of pleasures or to effective work," and- upon concentra tion depends "a man's success in this specialized world," Marston de clares. . "The capacity for concentration is in no sense the exclusive property of genius. Indeed it is common to all of us until we lose it or let it atro phy . . . Concentration is interest in action. Interest in a task, when you attain it, creates attention as a tree bears fruit, and so you find yourself concentrating upon it without effort. Even though you dislike a task, some way can often be found to acquire this essential interest in it. Men who naturally dislike selling often learn to enjoy work by regarding it as a contest for kudos, a type of ambition game which naturally appeals to them. Many a lazy and excitement craving girl has acquired interest in cooking, sewing, and housework, not directly, but indirectly, because it means to her husband, home, and children. "Even after we begin manfully to concentrate," there are a "multiplic ity of thoughts, half-thoughts, sounds, impressions that crowd into our minds and assail our best ef forts." One . must learn to "select ruthlessly from among many inter ests," and disturbances must be re placed with chosen thoughts. "You cannot push a thought out of your mind,"' the famed psychologist as serts. "You must replace it with another. If you doubt this, try Walter Pitkin's little joke: spend the next 30 seconds not thinking about the word hippopotamus'." A one-track mind has its advant ages, because all of us must culti vate a one-thing-at-a-time mind to win success. Aids to concentration outlined by Marston include memo rizing, reading aloud, personalized dramatization of the thing at hand, and taking a seat directly in front of the speaker. The rewards of con centration are the ability to do more things, end a greater pleasure in do ing them, he declares.

The 'slant battleship is by no means completed though the keel was laid In 1937 and con struction was authorised in 1934. The launching merely' readies it for advanced construction work. Naval officials estimate the rest of the work on the North Carolina will take about a year and a half.

Washington launched recently at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, were the first battleships laid down in the United States since 1921. The Washington is of similar size and design.
