Soviet Secret
After Finland, what? The question arises in any discussion of the end of the Finnish-Russian struggle. By taking Finland, Russia will bring less than one hundred and fifty thousand square miles of land and fewer than four million people under Soviet control. The Anland islands, which block Leningrad, make up the chief prize.
Russia's economic gains will be negligible in proportion to the Soviet's own wealth and resources. Finland, despite payments on her debts is among the least wealthy of European countries. Timber, wood pulp, and cellulose are its main exports. Large cities in the sense that America knows them are entirely absent. Helsinki's population does not exceed three hundred thousand. The population, ninety per cent Finnish-speaking, are four-fifths rural.
Whether or not Russia will accept the contributions which Finland can make to the Soviet after it has been properly incorporated by war remains to be seen. Finland's chief contribution to the world, like that of Sweden, has been principally in the field of social progress. It was the first country to emancipate women politically, giving them the vote and right to hold public office simultaneously. Its cooperatives handle a quarter of the retail and two-thirds of the wholesale business of the country. Just how can such social progress fit into the Russian scheme?
The key to the future may lie in large aims of Russia not yet revealed. Possession of Finland may not offer great economic advantages. But as a step towards control of the Scandinavia, it could be invaluable. The end of Finland may not mean the end of Russian aggression.
--of 70 feet. Such a mine, if not fitted with a device to render it harmless after a time would become an object.
Gum Chewers Alarmed
Mayor LaGuardia treads dangerous ground. His latest campaign for civic improvement of New York City, directed against the careless tossing away of chewing gum, smacks not only of a straight to the jaw attack upon the time-honored profession of street cleaning, but also of a profane invasion of the civil liberties and sacred rights of American citizens. Probably the Mayor should appear before the Dies Committee.
Publicity for the campaign points out the financial problem involved in cleaning chewing gum from the streets and paints a dire picture of a city ultimately blanketed with masticated chicle with pedestrians mired in the work of their own jaws. Such a vision should arouse the professional pride of the street cleaners who surely will not stand idly by while this opportunity for their vindication knocks. Let them raise a hue and cry! One of the virtues of Democracy is that public money can be spent at the public wish to employ hordes of street cleaners to follow the wake of a gum-chewing and gum-expectorating populace.
--of 70 feet. Such a mine, if not fitted with a device to render it harmless after a time would become an object.
The other interested party, the American people, will never stand for the regimentation proposed by the Mayor. Anti-New Deal speech makers have reiterated too often that the American people will never stand for regimentation of any kind. If freedom to chew and to expel the "chaw" where fancy dictates, is taken, then the torch of liberty dims, the citadel of Democracy collapses and the influence of the American revolution fades. Shades of Patrick Henry! What is liberty if a man cannot chew and spit where he please?
Mines Make Sea Drama
Rumors that German airplanes are laying magnetic mines by dropping them from parachutes has caused public uneasiness as to Britain's supremacy on the seas and raised the question: Can England's program of mine-sweeping and of blockade exports offset Germany's U-boat warfare and the so-called magnetic mine?
Naval experts, who know the immense difficulties in creating a strong magnetic field in water, have admitted these three possibilities in regard to the magnetic mine;
(1) A sea-bed mine. Instead of the ordinary mine motor, a boat would be anchored to the sea bed by a sinker. The approach of an iron or steel wheel would set up magnetic impulse which would actuate the motor. If the mine was lowering it to float upward on its buoyancy and to explode by contact with the ship or through a
(2) An "antenna" mine on the model of those used in the last war by the United States and Britain but with improvement in exploding power or detonating mecha. The mine was fitted with a British and American types were equipped with copper antennae wire, held up by wooden floats fitted with perforated steel caps. When the hull of a ship touched two or more of these materials, it wires a small current sufficient to explode the mine.
(3) A muered antenna device that would become a "wild" mine if not touched off by a passing object should be a soluble chemical compound forming a link in the anchor cable just beneath the mine; once freed, the device would take a few feet below the ground and horizontally over a maximum pre, in calm water,
To offset these devices the British make use of two types of mine sweepers. The first consists of a serrated cable, towed by two converted trawlers, which lags beneath the water surface and cuts loose mines from their anchors and renders them useless. Paravanes, attached to the ship's bow, traveling one hundred feet under water also ward off mines from the ship's side and cut them adrift.
The second mine-sweeper is an "electric apron" or powerful magnetic force that could be thrown some hundreds of feet ahead of mine-sweepers. This ray would explode mines which otherwise might blow up the sweepers coming in contact with their antennae.
Complicating the problems of undersea warfare, sunken ships tell no titles of their doom And as usual, the sea maintains it deep silence and mystery.

Selling Seals To Fight Disease Started by Danish Postmaster
In 1963 in a little village in Denmark, Emin Harboloelt, a postmaster, came to the conclusion that the greetings on Christmas cards should carry a message of health which includes funds with which to fight disease.
This was the beginning of the Christmas seal.
The king and queen of Denmark parrotized Einar Holbeel's idea, and in 1904 the first seal became a reality. Other Scandinavian countries soon took up the idea and in 1907 an American woman, Emily P. Bissell, living in Wilmington, Del, read an account of the Danish Christmas seal in "Outlook." She decided that if such a plan worked over there, it was worth trying in this country.
First American Sale In 1907
In the Christmas season of 1907,
Miss Bissell launched the first seal sale. So successful was it and so enthusiastic was she over the inherent worth of the Christmas seal that she persuaded the American Red Cross, with which she was a member of the Christmas wide seal sales in the fall of 1908.
To the surprise of everyone interested, this sale, with little organization, brought in $133,000.
In 1910 the American Red Cross took the recently organized National Tuberculosis association into partnership for the conduct of the Christmas seal drive. Until 1920, this partnership existed and each year the seals were sold as Red Cross Christmas seals under the American Red Cross subbuy but with the National Tuberculosis association and its affiliated state and local associations reaping the benefits from the sale. From Miss Biscayne, a resident in Windsor, Indiana, interest grew in every part of the United States until in 1919, the last year the Red Cross was associated with the sale, nearly $200,000 was raised.
In 1920, the American Red Cross, denying to concentrate on its own annual membership roll call, withdrew from the partnership. Since then, the National Tuberculosis association has been sole proprietor of the Christmas seal in the United States, and each year it authorizes the 48 states and thousands of local committees to sell the seals and to carry on the fight against tuberculosis.
Since 1920 the seals have regularly borne only the double-barred cross emblem of the international fight against tucurucous. The American Red Cross is no longer in any way associated with the Christmas seal

Remember when you struggled with fractions?
You'd be surprised how telephone engineers put them to work for you
How to put more and more wires into a telephone cable without increasing its diameter is an ever present problem at Western Electric—manufacturing unit of the Bell System. Existing ducts beneath city streets limit both the number and the diameter of cables—but demand for telephone service continues to grow.
Until recently, the largest cable contained 3636 wires in a diameter of $2\%$ inches. Years of study led to an entirely new insulating process that saved 3/1000 of an inch per wire. Multiply this tiny fraction of an inch by 3636, and you provide enough space to place 606 more wires in the same size cable—a total of 4242.
With such resourcefulness, Bell System engineers meet countless problems. Result: you can talk to almost anyone, anywhere—quickly, at low cost.
