(New Pine Creek Jottings) Ahl hat what of HI a a a Portland politician are going after the Chinese gambling situation, like they would run for a residence In Salem next spring. Borne old-timers wonder why I strive to dlssbuM the popular mind of such wrong notions aa "common Lsold," "acute indigestion," "nervous breakdown," "ac idosis," "autoin toxication" and "rheum atlsm.' Indeed, I believe the more you fool with such mean ingless terms the better It will be for my business aa a health com mentator and In the long run for the business of all real doctors In practice. "Ner vous breakdown," for example, Is con ventlonal enough and withal :on- venlent to explain the potential scan dal to nosey neighbors or the public of a prominent movie or opera star. It may be all right to finagle the patient with. If you are sure the patient doesn't know any better. But It Is a foolhardy thing to ascribe your own shortcomings, weaknesses or ali ments to "nervousness," "weak nerves" or "nervous exhaustion" unless you elect a parasitic existence as a Class B neurotic. Oout, like rabies In man, Is fa miliar enough in legend and folk lore but extraordinarily rare In ac tual practice and getting rarer as our diagnostic precision and skill Im prove. A formal report of a case of al leged gout appeared In the bulletin of an eastern county medical society three or four years ago. The doctor reporting the case just "pronounced' it gout. From all the scientific evl dence educed to sustain . the diag nosis I think it might as well have been called a case of endemic hokum, According to the great doctors of the last century, gout was caused by accumulation In the blood or deposit m the tissues of uric acid or salts of uric acid. Especially deposits of mono-sodium -urate In the tissues about Joints, particularly the great toe Joint. This theory, however, was conceived In the days before chem istry in medicine. Today wo know that the blood of a healthy person contains a certain amount of uric acid; and that the amount of urlo acid In the blood is Increased some what In numerous diseases In which 1 the metabolism rate or oxidation rate Is lowered. Chalky deposits (of mono-sodium -urate) are commonly found In the tissues of persona who have never had an ailment that can possibly purport to be gout. No one today seriously maintains that ex cess uric acid or any of Its salts ac counts for any particular malady, ex cept a few nice old-fashioned doctors who hold their nice old-fashioned clientele despite all newer knowledge and progress. QUESTIONS And answers One Vote for Dr. Webster. Aa the mother of three husky acro bats and trainer of many more, I protest against your Inslstnce that Webster's dictionary Is wrong about somersaults. You look silly trying to correct Webster's somersaults Into "air springs." What you call somer saults are properly called "roll-overs." (H. O. F.) . . Answer Thank you. If you can persuade Webster to adopt the term "roll-over" It will be satisfactory to me. At present Webster recognizes only rotation of the body in the lat eral plane aa a roll, and that will not do. In the somersault I recom mend you Just curl up and roll like a wheel. Pellagra. - Will say I am one of the few cases of pellagra In this area. Any sug gestions you might give will be great ly appreciated. (Mrs. M. P. A.) Answer Unquestionably there are thousands of mild cases everywhere, and most of them dabble with vari ous remedies of their own choosing without benefit of medical advice. Diet must provide plenty of vita mln G. Booklet "Victuals and Vlte' gives specific suggestions send ten cent coin and regular size stamped envelope bearing your address. Op timal ration of Irradiated yeast to supplement diet Is perhaps the best remedy. Or plain yeast in any form la good. In southern regions where pellagra prevails, a dry yeast powder Is sold by the pound at moderate cost. (Copyright, 1937, John P. Dllle Co.)

CONGRESS, balking at these pre liminary steps toward dictator ship, reasserted Its Independence. It: 1. Killed the bill to seize control of the supreme court "aa dead as a do do," to use Senator McNary's words. 3. Pulled the teeth of the bill to reorganize the government so aa to Increase Immensely the President's powers. 3. Stalled the bill to give the Pres ident and his secretary of agriculture a strangle hold on agriculture. 4. Stalled the bill to make a board to be appointed by the President the feudal overlord of both Industry and labor. i CONGRESS, in the past month or two, has made history. On these big Issues, which affect the future of our American form of government. It has displayed real courage. It has put statesmanship ahead of politics It has put patriotism above expediency.

V.; CHAPTER ENROLLS 13 Military experts Interpret these ax ioms in terms of the situation at Shanghai this way; The Chinese are in possession. The other points that favor them are numbers, they have about 100,000 troops, at least 60.000 well-trained regulars., they have lines of com munlcation in their own territory, and they have a favorable terrain. The Japanese offensive has been limited chiefly to warships, which, however, are not of great value since their munition la limited to what they can carry. Naval guns are mado to pierce armor plate, not to "blow men out of the ground," which the World war taught was step number one. Until Japanese troops were landed on Monday at the mouth of the Yang tze, the Japanese force at Shanghai was chiefly made up of bluejackets and marines landed from the wor ships. These landing parties are not as well equipped, organized or com plete as an army unit such as the Chinese have In the area. While the added effectives tend to move the scale in favor of the at tackers, there Is still the problem of dislodging the defense. Military ex perts believe that, as In the World war, this will have to be accomplish-1 ed by a double flanking movement, with two Japanese armies fprmlng a pincers that will squeeze the Chinese out of the port area. This strategy, however, will be dif ficult. The terrain la- unfavorable There are some roads around the Shanghai area, but Idaho looks like a network of highways compared to China. Once forced off the roads, troops find the land criss-crossed with streams and canals. Men can wade or swim them, but artillery doesn't float. It would' be a simple matter for the Chinese to sink boats In the river and atop entrance of the Japanese troop ships. Hence, the predictions of a long war, although there are always the "Improbables." One Is the danger of a successful "barrage of gold," which might lure away Chinese leaders, as it has often in the past. Fate of the "heart of china," as Shanghai has boen called, depend chiefly on the hearts of Its defenders. i i i ' ' A night fire struck the Ingham Lumber Company mill at Glendale, Ore., and caused an estimated loss of $250,000 before being brought under con trol. Here is the fire at Its height. Strangest of all for the military mind to comprehend Is why Japan started this thing as she did, with warships, when in 1932 they failed at the very same Job. One explanation is suggested: The army and the navy in Japan are controlled by two hereditary clans whose rivalry goes back to the days of the Samurat. The army won Manchuria for the Mikado. The re-1 cent advance In northern China was accomplished with little opposition. I Was the Imperial army Jealous? A strange reason for a military I move, but another of the unpredic- tables of the Orient.

So wrote Nathan lei Peffer, long-time student of the Orient. "Occidental diplomatic short sightedness," he concludes, "fidelity to the creed of Imperialism and po litical and economtc greed were Ood's gifts to the Japanese general staff."

A Japanese army threat to attack Shanghai's Nantao area, In the Chi nese city south of tho International settlement, threw Nantao's 200,000 inhabitants Into turmoil. Thousand Keek Refuge. Thousands struggled past blazing areas, set aflame by Japanese Incen diary bombs, to seek refuge in the French concession. The terrified natives found their way barred because the concession already Is choked with Chinese refu gees. Japanese commanders declared the Chinese resistance In Industrial Poo tung, across river from Nantao, ' was cracking and civilians were fleeing across the Whangpoo into the na tive area. If the Chinese retreat in that direction, they said, the Jap anese forces will pursue them. Cireat Fires Kage. Great fires raged in three sections of Shanghai, north, east and south of the International settlement. They were believed to have added count less more victims to the war toll. , Japan's third fleet, now in Chi-1 nese waters, stretched a blockade along 800 miles of the coast against all Chinese shipping from a point north of here to the extreme south of China. Vice Admiral Klyosht Hasegawa, commander-in-chief of the third fleet, proclaimed the blockade im mediately In force. He exempted all except Chinese vessels. The blockade embraces the lower Yangtze.

WA8HINOTON, Aug. 35. A Sen ator Mtnton (D.-Ind.) predicted to day that Paul V. McNutt. American high commissioner to the Philippines, will be nominated by the Democrats In 1B40 to succeed President Roose velt. The Indiana senator, a new deal stalwart who Is close both to tho president and McNutt. said he did not believe Mr. Roosevelt would run for a third term. Mlnton'a eyes flashed as he en thused In an Interview over the for mer Indiana governor availability, not only from the standpoint of his record, but slso from a purely po litical standpoint. "His views are substantially Uie vlewa of the new deal." At Indianapolis. Senator Frederick Van Nuys, Indiana's senior senator. The president restated what he has long put forth as Ills broad objective In seeking changes In the Judiciary. Technicalities t'sed "We have wanted to bring to an end," he said, "a trying period during which It has seemed that a veritable conspiracy existed on the part of many of the most gifted members of the legal profession to take advan tage of the technicalities of the law and the conservatism of the courts to render measures of social and economic reform sterile or abortive." He added that "because represen tative government, in order to suc ceed, must act through the processes of law, It la necessary for It to attain a high degree of cooperation among Ita three coordinate branches." Enumerating what he considered benefits of the lower court bill Mr. Roosevelt said one of Its principal provisions was that "the attorney general shall be given notice of con stitutional questions Involved In pri vate litigation and accords the gov ernment the right to defend the constitutionality of the law of the land." "No longer." he added, "must the government stand Idly by, a helpleas spectator, while acts of congress are stricken down by the courts." Appeuls Speeded He listed these other accomplish ments for the bill: It speeds appeals to the supreme court. It checks the Injunctive power of lower courts. It "tends slightly to relax" the present system of assigning Judges within circuits to congested areas. On tho side of the "omission" the chief executive named these things as not being done by the bill. "It provides," he said, "no Increase In the personnel of the lower courts an Increase confessedly necessary. "It provides no effective means of ssslgnlng district Judges to pressure areaa. , "It seta up no flexible machinery, with methods of administration readily adaptable to needs as they arise. "It leaves untouched the crowded condition of the dockets In our lower courts. Adds No New Hlood ii proviaes ior no flow of new blood to any of the federal benchea "It does not touch upon the prob lem of sged and Infirm Judgea who laii to take advantage ot the opnor tunity accorded them to retire, or re sign, on full pay." The president made no direct ref. erence to the violent controversy which disrupted democratic harmony In the senate for many weeks In the last session. Some political observers professed to see In this a guarded effort to avoid a militant revival of inter- party strife while at the same time notifying the opposition the Issue was not aa dead aa some onbonent uave proclaimed.
