predecessor none is more to his credit thun the invitation
to Herbert Hoover to come to the White House to consult on
European food problems. Mr. Hoover a experience in leea

and so doe the world. For that matter, Franklin Roosevelt
knew it but was unwilling to make the admisssion that a
request for the Hoover help would have carried.
Tnkinir into account the (trowing mess of food admini
stration in this country, coupled with the real threat to
our own supplies growing out of unfavorable planting

the president is seeking Mr. Hoover's advice on our domes

are becoming responsible. Wo hope that this js me case.

will lead to a proper peace so far as looa is concerned.
Much of the world, the United States included, is faced
with hunger. Hoover is the man to tell us how that hunger
can be lessened. Truman does well to seek his advice.
GAS HISTORY REPEATS
While thfi service station man tears off an "A" coupon
and carefully measures four gallons of gasoline into our
tank, we are reminded tnac rationing was necessiuuuu in
Bend a quarter of a century ago and that the shortage was by
no means confined to the local area. The entire state was
feeling the pinch and a statement from W. L. Dalzlel, then
sealer of weights and measures, gave warning that never in
the history of the state had there been greater need for con
servation of gasoline. In Bend, for a time, industrial equip
ment and motor vehicles used for business purposes had first
call on the limited supply.
Roughly it was the same sort of program that Is being fol
lowed now. but it was harder on the retailers. There were no
classifications of users by a government agency and there
were no coupons to limit individual purchases. The man at
the pump had to use his judgment and there were likely to be
some customers who would question that judgment. He had
no OPA or WPB to take the responsibility, nor could he
pointedly Inquire of his critic, "Don't you know there's a war
on?" It was simply that there wasn't enough gasoline (no one
seemed to know exactly why) and when the local supply was
exhausted there wouldn't be any more until the next tank
came in. When that would be was discouragingly indefinite.
The trouble in those days was much the same as now
insufficient production and transportation complications. The
number of cars was far less than it is today : so was the num-
' ber of miles of surfaced highway. But automobile use was
increasing rapidly and gasoline uso correspondingly. The sup
ply of this essential was mainly dependent on coastwise ship
women eagerly seeking land.

could be floated downstream to
the Spanish port of New Orleans
for further water transport to
American coast towns and to
Europe.
New Orleans was the bottleneck
that controlled the flow of river
traffic from the interior. Spain
was no longer the enterprising,
aggressive power that she was in
the days of the ConiHilstatlores.
Europe was in the throes of mili
tary and political intrigue. Na

suggested mat unless the govern

through diplomatic channels to
open the port of New Orleans,
they would do it themselves by
force. It was a ticklish situation.
President Jefferson heeded this
clamor from the backwoods and

New Analgesic Tablet
(Pain Relief)
now released to public
Thousands find it gives quicker, safe relief
from headache from pains of sinus,
neuritis neuralgia and arthritis
FOR MANY YEARS aspirin has been
accepted by both the medical profession
and the public as a safe, sure way to
relieve pain.
But many people who had complete
confidence in aspirin did not find it gave
a quick relief from blinding, maddening
pain as they hoped for. Hence in desper
ation they sometimes turned to other
remedies less well proved.
T flitst this situation a group of
medical research men set out to see what
could be done to speed up the analgesia
or "pain-killing" action of aspirin to
r.ake It bring their patients quicker re
lief, without heart or stomach upset
Out of these researches came a really
new kind of analgesic tablet, a combina
tion of aspirin and calcium ftlutamate. In
this new tablet, aspirin does its old, safe
job of relieving pain. But through its
combination -with calcium glutamate, res
tensive tests by physicians showed it gave
most people both quicker relief and greater
relief from pain.
Aftef this extensive testing and use
by members of the medical profession as
a prescription remedy, this new analgesic
tablet has now been released for non
prescription sale by every dfugRist. It is
called Superin (from supef-aspirin). You
can get its blessed, quick relief from pain
by asking your druggist for a bottle today
