'MAIRZY DOATS'
Others may cluck their tongues over the popularity of
"Mairzy Doats," and profess to see in it a dire commentary
. on our national state of mind. But we are neither shocked
. nor surprised. On the contrary, its vogue seems to us healthy,
normal, and quite in the tradition of wartime song.
Only those who shun the juke boxes and sulk at home
. with the radio turned off can be ignorant of "Mairzy Doats."
It might be explained to them that the song was born when
. a young miss named Neila Bonn! Drake made the delightful
discovery, at age 4, that "mares eat oats." Her elided repetl-
tion of this discovery led to the title as it now stands, ana
moved her father, a professional song writer, to expand the
words and write the music.
"Mairzy Doats" is no classic. Its popularity will be fleet-
ing, even though at the moment tt has swept the country ue
a chain letter. But in its humble way, the childish jinele has
charm. There is a touch of Mother Goose and of Walt Disney
. in the "translated" lyrics: "Mares eat oats, and does eat oats,
) and little lambs eat Ivy." And the run-together tricks that
' the printed version plays on our language have a transient
! fascination.
; But why, in the midst of war's grim business, should the
American people go about singing or, on occasion, mut
'. tering nonsense rhymes? Well, why not? It isn't the first
; time.
We sang "K-K-K-Katy" in the first world war. The Con
! federacy sang "Dixie," which, for all its later nostalgic impli
' cations, was a minstrel song. The North sang "We'll Hang
. Jeff Davis to a Sour Apple Tree" to the noble tune of "The
; Battle Hymn of the Republic." The Continentals marched
against the British to a nonsense song called "Yankee Doodle."
As a further exDlanation of popularity, there is the susoi
'. cion that "Mairzy Doats" is probably as genuinely inspired a
popular song as we have had since the war began. After Pearl
'. Harbor the exhorters of public spirit decided that we must
, have a war song. Tin Pan Alley, a closed shoo of commercial,
ready-to-wear tunesmlths, tried to oblige. What we got were
.things like "Goodby, Mamma, I'm Off to Yokohama" or "Say
A Prayer for a Pal on Guadalcanal."
Even the casual, insensitive music customer can soot a
; phony sentiment, which accounts for the deserved indiffer
ence to the catch-penny "patriotic ballads" produced to
idate. We don't blame the customer for preferring young
; dietary tour of the barnyard.

BALLOT ON MEMBERS
Illahee Division balloted on
new members at its regular busi
ness meeting Monday afternoon,
in preparation for initiation at the
next session. Plans were made tor
the social meeting the following
day, and for a potluck dinner on
the fourth Saturday.
SEWING CLUB
Sewing club of the Women of

the home of Mrs. F. H. Gorsline,
piecing a quilt-top to be given to
some needy family. At the card
held Monday afternoon,
Gorsline was chairman. "it was announced
berhood of 16,000 to 20,000 items and pieces handed out to the papers 1 Honors at bridge went to Mrs.

MUIIobs of Word
This Is something to demand- worshipful attention, any way you
look at It You can Took at It as something awful, or you can look at
It with lust awe, while exclaiming, "Geel Ain't it wonderful that our
government makes so much news!" AU this, mind you, is In addition
to the news made by Congress, the White House and whatever original
and exclusive news la dug up by a press, radio, periodical, trade paper
and racket trade-letter-writing corps that now numbers over 1000
and turns out gosh knows how many millions of words.
A lot of the stuff which they turn out la of necessity a rehash of
tha handouts, for handouts have become increasingly Important In
' the wartime scheme of the government's information setup. Principal
reason for the Increasing importance of the handout is the fact that
the OWI "gag rule," requiring government officials to tell the same
story In an effort to keep them from saying things which are In con
flict with the things said by the heads of other government agencies,
has been responsible for making a lot of these officials draw in their
necks. None wants to butt his head Into a controversy if he knows it
Is going to be cut off. That happened, you'll recall, to Vice President
Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Jones when they started squab
bling about Board of Economic Warfare.
Publicity Now Avoided
The result Is that top government spokesmen and administrators
have become unusually reticent for public officials. Grabbing the
headlines has been succeeded by a studied effort to "keep out of the
. papers," which is now official public relations policy in soma agencies.
Controversies are fought out behind conference room doors instead
of In public. War Department public relations office has a new rule
that no general may say anything tor publication unless hla remarks
.are passed not only by the review branch, for security, but the com
manding officer of the bureau of public relations himself.
Part of this new tightening up ot news sources by the Army is
fire-invasion Jitters. Part of lt is a reaction to the unfavorable pub
iclty which the Army got after a high officer's off-the-record con
ference to which he said strike threats had prolonged the war by
.months, Would cost many American lives and had prevented the In
.temal collapse of Germany and satellites.
Admirals Leahy and King are practically unapproachable. The
'next lower layer ot admirals is available from time to time at Secre
. tary Frank Knox's scheduled twice-a-weele press conferences, which
are fairly regular and do produce newa. Secretary of State Cordell
Hull schedules a press conference daily at noon. Of the other cabinet
officers. Secretary Morgenthau schedules two a week, Stimson and
. Ickes one each, but this trio performs only about half the time.
The tendency, whenever there is anything to say, grows more and
more towards saying lt with handouts.

OMVE BARBER'S OBSERVATIONS
MATBE THEY'LL THINK
lt your husband is one of those men with a New Foundland puppy
Ish sense of humor, see to lt that he reads this column. For I'm going
to say things you're too sensitive to say to him yourself.
You know the type of humor I mean the well-meaning put too
rompish sort of wit which, with the best of Intentions, has sharp
little teeth that can nip our very souls; nips which leave lasting
scars; a rough and tumble wit which often sends us sprawling,
emotionally speaking. ,
I've heard the forced laughter ot wives as their husbands made a
Jocular Jab at some personal shortcoming or weakness; have seen the
eyes of those women mist with tears at the smart of it Though they
loved their husbands and knew themselves to be loved in return,
this very knowledge sharpened the sting.
Maybe you're skinny and very self-conicious about your rator
sharp shoulder blades. You may have built up a defense mechanism
by Joking about them; about your sUletto elbows. But for your hus
band's public Joking about them, you have no defense; only a shrink
ing endurance, hugging to yourself the inadequately comforUng
thought that after all, he did choose you In spite of your angularity.
Or you may be one of the fat ones. If so. you're woefully vulner
able to tha well meaning but heavy handed husbandly wise cracks
bout It
One woman I know Is a monotone. At a party, her husband de
lights la suggesting that she sing for the group; give her a bur
lesque Introduction as the worlds leading prima donna, at which
tha crowd always laughs. Will she sing the Holy City tor them, he
asks; or perhaps she'd prefer to give a selection from 11 Trovatore.
The wife tries to lsugh with the crowd and her husband thinks he's
made quit a hit He has he's hit her heart a blow which spoils the
evening- for her.
Again and again I've seen tha Joyousness leave a woman's face
at some such unintentional stab from her husband; have seen women
who could have been tha life of the party turned Into shrinking non
entities, defenselessly waiting for the barb of their loved ones wit.
The big lumbering Idiots never seem to reallte that a wttUclsm which
hurts another Is a cheap and vlrlous form of humor.
So have him read this, dear lady. The truth Is, he wouldn't hurt
pi for anything; ha Just doesn't think. Maybe Uus will make him
Japs Called Jittery

you want to know what the Japs
think about the bombing of Para

would you think If the Japs

nights In succession'?"
That is the suggestion of Air
Commodore Leslie E. Genres,
commander ot a fleet air wing in
the Aleutians.
In answer he said, "You'd be

what the Japs are faced with."
Gehres paid hgjh tribute to the
pilots of tha bombers operating

WCTU HITS AT
INCREASED DRINKING
That drunkenness smong wo
men in America has increased
five times since the repeal of the
18th amendment, and drunken
driving has increased each year
until it now is double former
figures, were statements made by
Col. F. J. Miles, speaking before
the east unit of the Women's

declared one war production plant
had to close to two shifts, be
cause 2000 workers were too
drunk to attend to their Jobs.

the present British king and also
his father, in banning alcoholic
beverages from the royal house
hold for the duration, during both
wars.

stated that the biggest problem
Is presented by beer; that 90 per
cent . ot all alcoholic beverages
consumed Is beer; six per cent
wine, and only four per cent dis
tilled liquor; that consumption al
ways is In relation to availability.

Local Count Higher
Than Census Total
Population of Lane county ex
ceeds U.S. census bureau estimates
by almost 2,000, according to fig
ures relessed Tuesday by the Eu
gene ration board.
The bureau had estimated Lane
population at 72,229, supposedly
bsged on ration book registration,
but records at tha ration board In
dicate a total of 74,129, based on
actual number of copies of book
four for which Lane citizens have
registered.
The figure classes Lane as the
second most heavily populated
county in the state, tha first being
Multnomah with 448,295, and the
third being Marion with 72,715.
Marlon shows a drop of 2,531 since
tha 1940 census, while Lane in this
time has increased 5,056 or 7.4 per
cent over tha (9,073 bureau census
of that year.
Tha local board pointed out that
the 74,129 total may be considered
reliable, because:
(1) Only a small number of re
placement books have been issued
sine registration for tha fourth
war ration book.
(2) Figures include only those
who lived In Lane at time ot ap
plication. University ef Oregon
students, who did not live In this
county, for example, were referred
to their home boards when they
went to register.
At registration time, 70,534
books were Issued in Lane. Of
these 80,898 were under the Eu
gene board, 2,903 under Florence,
8,731 under Cottage Grove. Since
that time, 3595 have been Issued
by the three boards; 3,038 under
Eugene, 130 under Florence, and
407 under Cottage Grove.
Dogs f nter G. I. Training
EDMONTON, Alta, (CP) A
group of husky dogs from Edmon
ton, northern Canada and the
Yukon, have passed through the
city en route to the United States
to join the U. S. army.
"Recruiting officer," was Lieut.
Stuart A. Mace, expert dog train
er, who brought the dogs from the
north and is taking them to the
army's war dog reception and
training center at Camp Rimini,
Mont There they'll be trained by
experts as pack dogs to work with
rescue squads.
When they get to the reception
center, the huskies will be put in
quarantines inoculated and pro-,
cessed, and then put through a
course, similar to G. I. basic train
ing, which conditions the dogs and
trains them to obey orders; After
the basic training is finished, the
dogs go into advanced specialized
training according to their size,
aptitude and endurance.
