This Is Armistice Day. There have
been 19 years of -pence, but one
would hardly know It, with a war
every year since, and much new
strife brewing.
The Administration now plana to

hens recession. What ta really needed

Winter approaches. Several now
need wood, more than the flan they

America haa barred, on the ground
of moral turpitude, the French
beauty and eutle. who ahot a French
count In a non-vital spot, and boasts
a number of heavy dates with none
other than Premier Mussolini ol
Italy. Her marksmanship and vam
plrlng, were of a low calibre. Thia
raises the moral tone of the nation,
and gives hope, one of these days,
one of the more pestiferous alien
nellraiaers will forget, and park hla

Don 9t Forget Pear Week
'T'HE Greeks had s word for it" and, it seems, the American
people have a "week" for it. The designation of "weeks"
for the promotion of various movements is typically American.
The often neglected and little appreciated pear has at last
come into its own with the recent estiihlishment of "National
Pear Week" by the Independent Food Distributors' Counoil.
It ia the important step to publicize pears on a national scale
that growers here have been praying for. Here is concerted
selling effort of 153,000 grocery stores affiliated with the various
branches of this council PLUS the important promotion of
many thousands of chain grocery stores, for the large chains
have indicated their willingness to cooperate.
. .
I I1ST0RY records that the poets of Persia sang the praises
of the pears that grew in the famous gardens of that land.
While possibly lacking in this aesthetic touch, the method em
ployed by backers of the National Pear Week movement should
prove effective. All advertising media will be used; millions will
be made "pear conscious" and
River valley will feel tho beneficial results of this and future
minimi campaigns.

QICJ1ILAPS the most important result of National Pear Week
will be added consumers' knowledge of the value of pears
as a food and the increasing use of this fruit in salads, desserts,
beverages, jams, jellies, etc. Increased sales and the solution
of many marketing problems will go hand in hand with the
spread of this knowledge.
Scientists have established the

Japan Goes Fascist
A RECENT report from Tokyo tells of plana for creation of
n highly centralized government, with power concentrated
in the hands of six men.
It would really mnko little change in the existing situation.
Prince Konoye, now premier, and Oneral Sntpyamn, now war
minister, would keep those posts, as would the strongest of the
other members in the present cabinet. The parliament would
merely be deprived officially of authority which it no longer
exerts.
The fnet is that Japan lias been ruled for years by a small
army group, in spite of the pretense of constitutional govern
ment. This group haa steadily defied the majority party and
refused to accept the popular verdict of the last three elections.
It is necessary in any country to concentrate governmental
authority in time of war, but in this case the war is made an
excuse for absolute rule by the same group that made the war.
So Japan frankly joins the Fascist countries, her "pop.
having no more self-determination than the Germans or Italians,
and for the present, at least, seeming content with their dic
tatorship. If Japan wins the war and gets away with the
Chinese territory wanted by the imperialists, her generals will
be in power for a long time. R. S.

WINTER COUGH
Chronic bronchitis, the winter
cough of the aged. Is leas common
In the United States and Canada
than In England. Dr. Osier attri
buted this to the
more uniform
heating of
houses In this
country. There
la no doubt, he
said, in 1900,
"that with prud
ence even In the
most changeable
w 1 n ter weather
m u e h may be
done to prevent
the onset of
chronic bron
chitis. Woolen
ahould be used and especial care
should be taken in the spring months
not to change them for lighter onea
before the warm weather la estab
lished." Southern California and Florida
have winter climates In which sub
jects of chronic bronchitis live with
the greatest comfort. For that mat
ter, southern California has summer,
spring and autumn climate where
anybody can live with the greatest
comfort.
Oliver Wendell Holmes regarded
chronic bronchitis as a slight ail
ment that promotes longevity. Chron
ic bronchitis never kills anybody, and
In some instances it seems to be the
very thing needed to make the sub
ject obey the rul-s of hygiene which
more vigorous folk are Inclined to
flout until they find they aro wear
ing out prematurely. So, if you have
winter cough you had better take
good care of yourself If you want to
live beyond the allotted three score
and ten.
Aa for woolen undlra, they're all
right If you are a timber cruiser or
an ice harvester or a postman or a
farmer. Such excessive clothing
would be all wrong for a housewife
or a hoiwehusband or for anyone who
spends most of the time Indoors nnd
only enough time outdoors to hurry
from shalter to shelter. For the ma
jority of folk, bronchial trouble or
no bronchial trouble, light cotton
underwear la most comfortable and
most healthful, with whatever outer .
clothing, coats, hats, overshoes, gloves
and the like the weather snd their !
whims may Indicate when they go
out.
One subject to chronic winter
cough or to "catarrh" whatever ail
ments this meaningless term magics
or to sinusitis, should war stock- 1

Comment

Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE common cold, which takes the
Joy out of life for about half
the population around this season of
the year is either a staggeringly
j costly nuisance or a public benefac
tordepending on which school of
economics you adhere to.
4
THE United States public health
service estlmstes that the aver
age worker loses from three to five
working days each year because of
colds.
If you are old-fashioned and be
lieve that the lesa we work and the
less we earn the less we have, this
means an annuel economic loss of
about a half billion dollars, which
ts enough to command attention
even In these big money days.
But If you lean to the theory, so
widely promulgated at present, that
the less everybody works the better
off everybody la, you'll have to hail
the common cold as a promoter of
prosperity.
Jk IiOT of money has been spent in
ra. the study of the common cold,
but as yet there la little agreement
as to Its cause and cure.
Most authorities believe It la
caused by infection from a filterable
virus (which la a sort of germ) but
this virus that does the damage has
not yet been discovered. Many be
lieve that chilling the body lower i
the surface temperature of the mu
cous membranes of the pharynx
(which Ilea between the mouth and
the aesophegus) towering their re
sistance and permitting their Infec
tion by bacteria, ( germs) normally
present.
Still another school holds that dis
turbance of the regulation of the
heat of the body cause colds.

Not that cold, feet or wet feet or

anything to do with the cause of
bronchitis. If It did, none of us
could escape It. But If you already
have some chronic trouble of the
sort you must be more particular,
