": It wouldn't have been a good idea, last winter. I and spring, to go around asking that question. i" Tactless, to say the least. , " Now things are different In a way it's not important, in another way it is.: "Winning the wax, not making profits, is everyone's chief business. Bul--maintaining a healthy domes- ; tic economy will, if it can be accomplished, help win- the war. For one thing, taxes come out of earnings and profits. The ideal situation would be a healthy economy based upon turnover of goods which are not scarce, produced to the limit of such manpower as is left over after the armed, services and war industry have taken whafthey need Right now, things are, tending in precisely ; that direction. Business is good. Not quite up to what it was at this time a year ago in terms of commodity volume; but dollar volume is about even with that of late summer, 1941; and that actually is . remarkable, for just a year ago there was a great '. wave of hoarding-buying. People were scram- lg then for refrigerators, radios sonareL carucuiarir mens apparei. wnua Now7ther are some scarce items If what you want is made to any great extent of metal. getting scarcer because it Isn't being manu tured. But a great many such items still are in stock and oddly enough, the demand lor - them is not excessive. Take refrigerators and other household fur nishings. Those that are available aren't mov ing fast, and apparently the reason is that when couples get married these days, they don't set up housekeeping. The bridegroom goes back to camp, the bride goes on living where she's been living or Seeks an apartment as near as possible to her husband's post. For a somewhat comparable reason, - men's civilian clothing isn't actually booming, though neither is it doing badly. Too many men are beinfc clothed by Uncle Sam. Besides, there was - some hoarding of men's suits a year ago. But women's and children's clothing is in ex ceptional demand; fall buying hai started early, in some sections due to weather changes, in others simply because people have the cash end' that of course Is the big factor all around. One noticeable difference is that a great many more families are in the market f amilies which were not heavy buyers in prior years. In gen- eral the trend is just what , one might hope; purchasing of goods that are not scarce. There it also a great deakof buying in such items as fuel, and gasoline where that commodity is not ; rationed. '; ; " All this of course is on a national scale; there are great . regional" differences, and variations within regions depending upon the presence or ' absence of war activity. But the Pacific coast region is one in which there is an increase in trade over last year, of from 3 to 7 per cent in various cities. i Yes, we hardly dared hope for it, but business Is good. And the normal time for the fall up trend has scarcely arrived. Silver Goes to Work No doubt William Jennings Bryan has turned over in his grave while the living members of the silver bloc uttered cries of anguish. The silver Pegasus is being harnessed- to a plow. Treasury department announces that its entire stock of non-monetary silver, more than a billion and one-third ounces, is being made available to industry while newly-mined silver is going directly from the refiners to industrial users.';: ; '.';.- . It is well known that silver is a better con ductor of electricity than copper, and . has a number of other industrial uses. The price is a bit high, but who, engaged in the war effort, Worries about costs these days? jj Use of this silver will open up one major , bottleneck. The silver bloc may in a sense have the laugh on those of us who consistently op posed the purchase policy which attracted this great heap of silver to the United States the volume of industrial silver demand will de termine what justification, there is for that guf faw. . But if there is demand for all that silver and more, we can suggest a further source. There are almost a billion ounces of silver in coin of . the realm, more than half of it in big round j "cartwheels which we don't need.' The' factional j coins are necessary but silver dollars are a nuisance. If the industrial silver stocks gets low again, let's melt 'em down and salvage the cop per as well as the. silver. And then who'll have the last laugh? Capitalist Collects From Reds "it must be true or.they wouldn't dare print it." That is some folk's reaction when an ir responsible publication prints scurrilous matter - about prominent citizens. As a rule they believe that because they want to believe it The truth is that such publications usually "set away with it because the victim doesn't fight back. And among the obvious reasons wovjl, w uiv wut iu in such a case is judgment for damages, and those publications rarely own anything that can Ve turned into cash to pay damages. - An interesting case in which the offended ' citizen did fight back has just recently come to public attention. "The New Masses" weekly communist magaafeie, had an article about the "Cliveden set" of appeasers and pro-fascists which allegedly exists in the United States, and misguidedly listed among the members of that set James IL R. Cromwell, who is minister to . Canada got himself in the public eye by making some rash statements about United States for sign policy. Cromwell, youknowt is rather a substantial figure, financially speaking, among ether things havin married some of the Duke tobacco rniUicr.3, . : . .; ';' ."'; : ' ' ;' , So Cromwell sued "The New Masses for a million dollars. The Reds probably would have felt insulted if he had made it less, having no rcrpect for money especially in small sums. But v.-hen they began digging around for material Tilh which to fight the case, they found there 'No F a wsioavi ti; iYo Fear 27iaZZ Au" . Iron First Statesman, laarch 23, 1831 THE STATES1IAN PUBLISHING CHARLES A. SPRAGinC, President UetobetolT Is zduslTly entitled to the use for Just wasn't any. Everything Cromwell had said in public, or in private so far as they could find out, was strictly patriotic and anti-axis. So the Red publication is going to make a retraction. But the intriguing thing about it is that Cromwell, the capitalist, is collecting a ''substantial' sum not a million, but consider ably more than his legal costs from the com munist magazine. They say the essense of humor is "something out of place like mud on a dress suit. This sit uation, a capitalist collecting real folding money from the Reds, fits the prescription. In view of the butter supply-and-demand sit uation we've heard no great commotion about butter substitutes, but even so we doubt wheth er this war slogan will be popular in dairy and creamery circles: "Put a ring around Tokyo though we have to eat oleo," Anyway, as verso it smells. ' ... Ngivs Behind the Weivb By PAUL. MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept 1 It la astonishing that the Japs, with all their artillery and planes, chose -to withdraw from Chtihsien, the largest air field la China the one wt can now use to bomb Tokyo. The Chinese naturally claim a victory at that and wearing rsal Mallea - i '-i ' , be intending to attack Russia, and open a new theatre of operations for themselves and for us. They must be withdrawing from China to strength en their forces on the Russian border. Their only successful general, Yamashita, is sup- . posed to be in Manchuria now, looking over the ground. While it may seem to.be a little late in the year for major operations so far north, the Jap invasion ot Manchuko was started in the same season (September 18, 1931) and fighting con tinued through much of the winter. . "; All signs add up to the conclusion that the Japs must try m big new major blow somewhere if they have a blow left in them. The toes of their advance in the south seas have been crushed. - ' In New Guinea, General MacArthur worked a tickler trick on them. Several weeks ago, when all the newsmen around his headquarters were moaning in anguish because he had not been fur nished with power to do anything, MacArthur was even then building hospitals and bases to sup port the attack, which his secreted Australian troop ers delivered with devastating surprise upon Milne bay, as soon as the Japs occupied it last week. Tokyo tee-heed in triumph at Mac Arthur's pro fessed anguish, but his purpose became painfully plain to them when the Aussies came out of hiding and annihilated their Milne forces. It was the first engagement of the Australian troopers under Mac Arthur, and they convinced authorities around here that they have the same thing our men have the will to win. ? V Anyone who knows MacArthur's style could tell that he was the personal author of that long official communique issued ; Sunday night, giving a full for not fighting The Japs wttl anyone can get aoiomons, or both, for bases, before invasion can be attempted hereafter through the Coral sea. CO. publication of 3 fa this newspaper. point, but their announcements make it dear to the practiced eye that the Japs failed to con front them with formidable forces, and Tokyo claims the retreat Was a planned with drawal. ,,!': '::-'i,:;C; What then makes this field so desirable to the Japs last May that they, started a new China campaign now not worth fighting for?: Only one explanation seems plausible. The Japs must believe we will shortly get airfields which are even closer to Japan. They must account of the Solomon island fray. He might as well have signed it, so clearly did it betray his characteristic terseness, pugnaciousness and clarity (a distinct contrast with naval communiques pre viously issued on the same subject). MacArthur made it plain the big toe of the Jap advance had been .cut off in the Solomons. Every cloud has nowbeen chased away from that engage ment except the extent of our naval losses. , The first engagement (August 7 to 10) previous ly has been described in this column. In the second figlit (August 23) the Japs mustered every avail able vessel they had in that part of the world. Some came from Rabaul, others from nearby bases. Mr. Roosevelt once idly called the resultant at tack only a "reconnaissance' in force, but the navy department announced the Japs had transports with them, and no one goes reconnoitering with troops. In fact MacArthur disclosed a force of 900 was landed on Guadalcanal island, and all of it met death or capture. : , This was clearly an effort by the Japs to re capture the southern Solomons, and it failed, be cause our bombers knocked out their only two air craft carriers. The Japs could not proceed without airpower, had to withdraw, leaving us in undis puted control. Any Pacific map will show you our lines of supplies to Australia' have been cleared by this Solomons success. Other Jap airbases are too far back from the steamship routes to do much dam age. -; v; v'; :; " '-Lr-O-v Coupled with the Jap loss4 of Milne bay, the Solomons success also makes impossible - the In vasion of Australia on the populous eastern side. have to getNew Guinea, or the Guiding principle of the Japanese is face-saving. Even the Tokyo broadcasters can see that some of it Is required by the toe-crunching they have received. AuthortUes, who have the south seas area par ticularly in mind, suspect the Japs will try to muster a larger navsl invasion force, and go back Into the Solomons and Mew Guinea. Their second Solomons attack, however, showed they have little naval strength available in that quarter. They are particularly short on aircraft carriers, since we blasted most of this Jap category out of the water at Midway. They cannot invade without carriers, and when they come bsck next they will meet our land-based bombing planes from that ex cellent field on Guadalcanal. , . Other points at which they could strike are . Alaska and India, but Alaska is foggy and not good . fighting ; territory, while India already is being prepared, by fifth columnist and disobedience ac tivities, to fall into the Jap lap without a costly major campaign Consequently most eyes here are trained on the Manchurian-Russian border. r By R.

"Although he had brought the institution to a state of prosper ity, an attempt to remove him was made in 1823; fortunately for the life of the school ft was frustrated, and he kept on, bearing increasing burdens, un til April 7, 1830. when, for the sake of his health, he resigned.' , "In addition to teaching classes, drilling new teachers, preparing annual reports, ' and dence, he had spent a large part of his time in helping to found similar institutions, in delivering public addresses on deaf-mute education, in making appeals to legislatures, and ; in preaching; moreover, "in most of the or ganized public movements of the day, his support and active co operation were considered es sential" "Of his work as a teacher,' his son and biographer, Edward M. Gallaudet says: 'His skill, in adapting methods borrowed from France to the needs of Am erican children was great He possessed peculiar and natural endowments for the special work of instructing the deaf, promin ent among which was a really marvelous grace and clearness in all kinds of pantominic ex pression. - - . : ?He was the first to suggest ' and use in schools for. the deaf the language of signs in religious . exercises and -lectures.

Bulbs to be forced for Christ mas and early January, should be planted in early September. An ordinary flower pot such as used for geraniums is best. Use three bulbs this includes tulips also in an eight inch pot Put a layer of gravel on the bottom and -use a mixture of two parts good garden loam, one part leaf mold and one part coarse sand. - Remember darkness and mois ture force root growth, and root development forces bloom.

Meanwhile ha had been invited to inaugurate in Boston the education of the blind in America; to represent the Colonization Society in New -England; to . accept professor ships in several colleges, and to become principal in various in stitutions, including THE FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL IN AMER ICA, and to inaugurate a profes sorship of the philosophy of edu cation in New York University. . . .

He ac cepted the latter position, and held it until his death." Now as to Oregon. Turning to 'official "Oregon Blue tTTTi, tj-Ti-.-.ZiutZZ- Book," beginning with the gen eral index, taking first "School," then "Deaf, "State," one finds 47, meaning page 47, and there one reads, in part: ; - "Deaf, Oregon State School for: . . .

The school admits children of good mentality between the' ages of 6 and 21 who are totally deaf, or those who. have various de grees of hearing loss and as a re sult cannot make reasonable, progress in the public schools of the state. As most deaf children have a mental handicap of from three to six years, a special course of study, is planned for their needs In the preparatory grades.
