It certainly isn't the climate. Had it been, George Washington would never have selected this section of Maryland as the permanent capital of the United States. It is now nearly the middle of OCTOBER! Yesterday afternoon the mercury was above 90 and last night it. was around 80. The humidity meanwhile hovers around the same figures so sticky that even the crease in your pants disappears. No wonder interest in the Neutrality debate is declining, and interest in the war ditto I , In faet there doesn't seem to be any war at the present moment. Not even the familiar "all quiet" on the western front. But we venture to say there is plenty of talking going on, the exact nature of which is not even hinted in the news dispatches. And here is our guess t Not only in Paris and London but in Berlin, Topic No. 1 is Russia, and where "the bear that walks like a man" is going to jump NEXT. With Der Fuehrer it certainly appears to be the familiar ease of having the bear by the tail and not being able to let go. But the dilemma of the allies is only slightly less distressing. Assume that Germany can he crushed, what thent The next hurdle not only in the Baltic but in the Balkans and the Dar danelles will be a tougher one STALIN and COMMUNISM ! And if Germany, faced by defeat, decides to go Communist HOW ABOUT THAT! No INDEED, we certainly don't envy Messrs. Daladier and Chamberlain, as they ponder over Hitler's peace overtures and face the future! It is certainly a case of being between the devil and deep blue sea, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Here ia another guess. France and England are considering an armistice with Germany, far more sympathetically than their official communiques indicate! Not because of any desire to accommodate Hitler but because of fear of Stalin. . As recently predicted, it's all over but the shouting as far as the arms embargo is concerned. The isolationist bloc refuses to show the white flag, but that defeat of the Tobey resolution, fir to 2G, was a knockout blow. There is a lot of brave talk about "just starting to fight;" but we predict, the end is near and the greatly publicized debate won't last a third as long as originally ballyhooed. Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, a new member and very conscientious one, was made the sacrificial goat. He was in duced to manufacture his trial balloon and sanction its ascent into the senatorial atmosphere. He took the effort and himself very seriously. A typical New Englnnder of the Old School but endowed with a booming baritone, closely resembling the pompous announcer in the "March of Time", he pleaded earnestly with his colleagues to protect American shipping first, and attend to the arms embargo later. Whereupon the Senate proceeded to attend to Senator Tobey first, and stage a partisan war-dance later. . It is all extremely amusing. This pious talk about politics being adjourned in time of national crisis for example. You should have seen the "NON-PARTISAN" antics of Messrs. Barkley, Pittman, Connally et al after that vote wus an nounced, and the scurrying for private wires to break the glad news to Roosevelt I Barkley was so jubilant (this is off the record!) he condescended to take a drink with his ex-mortal enemy, the new Senator from his own state, "Happy Chandler!" "Happy Chandler," by the way, may be well named, but he didn't look very happy when he took his seat in the Senate Chamber he looked scared pink and extremely UNhappy. There were filters on the Republican side when the Kentucky Governor took the arm of his former primary foe and the pair walked to the rostrum where that, "poker-playing, whiskey drinking, evil old man" Garner awaited them with his bene diction. No doubt the Mail Tribune will get the picture, which deserves immortality in the political Rogues Gallery under the general caption of satire! Incidentally Happy was escorted from Kentucky by a retinue, male and female, that, would have done justice to Iluey Long in the Kingfish'a prime. After the Senate adjourned, a great time was had by all, according to the grapevine. Washington is a popular place to try out new plays, before tackling N. Y. Helen Hayes and Philip Merivale opened here last night in a serio-comic opus entitled "Ladies and Gentle men" written by Charles MacArthur (not Charley McCarthy) and Ben Hocht. (Mr. MacArthur is Helen Hayes' husband.) Well as a "first night" the production was a success. The National theatre was packed, all Washington's chivalry and beauty there in white ties and tails, and there were the usual curtain calls at the close (no speeches however). But if the dramatio critic of the Medford Mail Tribune knows anything about plays (which is doubtful) this produc tion, amusing as it is in spots, will never make the grade on Broadway. The theme is not the unfamiliar one of a smart woman on a dumb jury, that is where Ladies and Gentlemen (of the jury) conies in. And this portion of the offering, thanks to the good old rowdy comedy powers of Messrs. MacArthur and Ileclit, isn't bad. In fact it is very good, and at times side-splitting. Hut there has been superimposed upon this, what impressed us as one of the most UNCONVINCING love interests of the triangle type we have ever seen. So unconvincing that but for the genuine affection and respect they hold for the gifted and admirable Helen Hayes, we are quite sure. particularly in the balcony fire escape scene, a large share of the audience last night would have burst out laughing. ..... Here was that dear little old woman "Queen Victoria" in a becoming negligee on one fire escape; ami the middle-aged and decidedly cadaverous-looking Merivale. in his shirt sleeves, on another similarly iinroniaiitie and uncomfortable contrivance a few yards away, supposedly falling in love with each other, because they both like Conrad, Puccini and minute steaks! For unconscious humor it was a ten-strike, but unfor tunately for the success of the play, if this scene is taken as a joke, the last, scene becomes completely ridiculous, which, for that matter, it is anyway. Oh well! the Washington dramatic critics all praise Miss Haves and the play highly, so probably it will make a record in New York only surpassed by Abie's Irish Rose! But if "Ladies and Gentlemen" is a good play, or for Miss Hayes at least, even a FAIR one, then Cincinnati had the grcalest ball club this year since the days of l.ajoie and Christy Mathewson and Justice Black of Alabam is the greatest American jurist since the late John Marshall!

ENLARGED TONSILS AND ADENOIDS Masses of lymphoid,' round cell, adenoid tissue situated on either side of the soft palate near the base of the tongue are called the I a u c i a 1 or throat tonsils. A third mass of the same tissue in the roof of the pharynx u p out of sight behind the soft palate is called the pharyngeal tonsil or ade noid body. Nearly always when the visi ble faucial tonsils are enlarged (hypertrophied, as doctors say) the pharyngeal tonsil is likewise enlarged or hyperthrophic. Considerable hypertrophy of faucial and pharyngeal tonsil tissue, and of the same type of tissue elsewhere in the body (as, for example, around the opening from the cecum or large bowel into the appendix) is a normal, beneficient condition in childhood and early youth. The lymphoid tissue plays a role in the natural defense of the body against bacterial invaders and probably in the development of natural immunity. Mere enlargement, thickening or hypertrophy of lymphoid tis sue in the tonsils or adenoid body in childhood need occasion no anxiety nor call for any treat ment as long as the child suffers no injury, harm or handicap from purely mechanical obstruc tion to breathing; or no impair ment of hearing from mechan ical obstruction or occlusion of the orifices of the Eustachian tubes in the throat; or no evi dent retardation or interference with normal growth and devel opment (from anoxia or defi cient oxygenation incident to difficult breathing). As I have said many times, it is in every instance a matter of your doctor's opinion whether your complaint is likely to be duo to focal infection, and whether the septic focus re sponsible for the trouble Is situ ated in a tonsil. There Is no positive way to determine this. It is wholly a question of your doctor's best judgment. Some pathologists who have studied the tonsils thoroughly conclude it is difficult to draw the line between normal and infected tonsils. For instance. Dr. H. F. Wilkinson reported in Archives of Otolaryngology all of ten thousand pairs of tonsils showed evidence of infection, if the presence of leukocytes in the crypts and ulceration of the The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. Washington, Oct. 17. The new code of the Nationnl Asso ciation of Broadcasters was a really big domestic event. It will ultimately bar Father Charles E. Coughlin from the air. It has already prevented the Town sendites from putting on a tre mendous, long - planned radio program for their pension plan. U forecloses the possibility of other types of radio dema goguery. Yet it has received al most no attention. In essence, the radio business has remembered that its wave lengths, like the franchises of the power business, are public utilities. Knowing that public utilities and private propaganda should not be mixed, the radio men have agreed among them selves to sell no more time for propaganda purposes. Thinking people have long been deeply disturbed by the easy access to the intellectually submerged j tenth which the radio Rave to men with smooth tongues and small consciences. By the sim plest gesture of self-regulation, the radio business has met the situation and solved it. Undoubtedly the National Associa tion of Proadcnsters was chiefly pro voked to action by the problem of Piithcr Couphlin. Despite his fervid dfiilnls of ny wrotm intention, hi nvent hroadtwsts mve been stroily tinned with race prejudice. Further more, they openly promote his so called social Justice movement, whose mnctztne of the snme name is an unnsh.inied orssn of rie hate J'otuethl' hud M be done abnut tln iMlo ,.t Pvp-enMi the ' spieart of rsct hatred over radio Brady, M.D. epithelium are an indication of infection. Unfortunately no one knows precisely what function or what purpose the tonsils serve. Of course the near-doctors and the queer-doctors will speak quite positively about it, but I repeat no one knows whether lym phoid, adenoid or round-cell tis sue in the tonsils and elsewhere in the body merely functions In the defense against invading germs and in maintaining im munity, or whether it may also have some influence on growth and development. Lymphoid hypertrophy (thick ening or enlargment of tonsils and adenoids) is one of the dis tinctive features of allergy. The very largest of chronically en larged tonsils are often seen in children who suffer from al lergy hypersensitivity to this or that foreign protein (nitro genous substance entering the system through some route other than normal digestion), most commonly one or more food proteins. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sodium 1'erhorute Not So (iood In my 16 years of practice sodium perborate has seemed to trusc a good deal of mouth Inflammation when used as mouthwash, irritation that tends to make "trench mouth" worse. ( , D.D.S.) Answer Thank you, Doctor. Per haps the layman uses too strong a solution, or applies It too frequent ly. For regular prophylactic use as mouthwash, dentifrice or gargle, against trench mouth or other In fections, only a good pinch of sodium perborate In two ounces of water (one-fourth glassful) should be used. In cases where sodium perborate seems to Irritate or falls to bring relief, or for routine use as a cleans ing antiseptic mouthwash, plain soap solution is excellent. While ordinary toltet soap mn.y be used, the most satisfactory and efficient Is official soft soap, commonly called "tincture of green soap" a teaspoonful of this In the pint of water.

Yet. knowing the cl amorousness of the Coughlinlt groups, the radio busl-iip-m hnd to present a united front In the matter. The NAB was a convenient instru ment of the united front. It la an organization Including all Important radio stations, patterned after the baseball clubs' and the movies' self regulatory bodies. (It has, however, no Jnd Landls and Is beautified by the presence of no Will Hnys). A few days aeo, the NAB met In full session In Washington and pro mulgated the new code, which had previously been considered with the utmost care by sll the best minds In the business. The code's pertinent section Is one making It an offense for any station to sell time on the air "for the pre sentation of controversial issues." This, of course, in no way Inter feres with the stations' and broad casting companies' healthy practice of giving free time. In fairly equal amounts, to speakers on both sides of every great public argument. In fact, the NAB code specifically pledges the continuation of this prac tice. Nor does it Interfere with the selling of time to the regular politi cal part lea during campaigns. All that is outlawed In the buying of hook-up by private perrons with some theory, brand of economic snake-oil, private grudge or home brewed salvatlonlsni which they wish to vent on the innocent public. The Amerlear Civil Liberties Un ion, a vigilant guardian of free speech, haa already warmly Indorsed the new code. So have the federal council of Church of Christ in Amer ica and many similar organizations The code will be bitterly attacked of course, both by the Coushllnltes and the leclons of Dr. Francis E. Town send Its provisions have slresdv been held to Include broadcasts of Coughlln's present type. He ha a few months of grace, for existing broadcasting contracts are not to be disturbed. But. In the end. unles the NAB lets Itself be Intimidated, he will either have to change his style of talk entirely or stop talking on the air. As for the Town.-endltes. they have Just been frust rated In an attempt to buy a national hook up for their proposed radio cam pa Wn. The plans for this campaUn give you an Idea of the sort of thing that the code is IntendM to pre vent. As everyone knows, hundreds of thousand of puzzled and unfor tunate, people In America have been fooled hv the r-'mculo-.'s ,-oiom! M 1. V.-.I. In California hers the radio h bten used to push the similar "ham and eggs" pension plan, the puttied people have become a real political menace. It was the Townsendlt in tention to make them a menace on a national acaLe. using Senator Sher idan Downey of California as the stiver tongue of pensions. Town send, Downey and the others were hVking their chops In anticipation of forming a really staggering pres sure group. Naturally, they are fur loui that they have been stopped , No wise person will Join them In their regrets, however. Such pressure groups as the Coughllna and Downeys form are never representative. Yet resisting them calls for difficult showa of courage by politicians. It la better to prevent their formation At The National Capitol with John W. Kelly (Continued from Page One ) NOTWITHSTANDING the fstlure to sell power generated by the pre sent units (and other generators now being built), Mr. Raver will recommend that the 10-unlt project he completed and ask for 20.000.000. President Roosevelt Is expected to give the nod to the director of the budget. One argument to Justify such a large appropriation (it would more than build Umatilla dam and go far toward advancing the Willam ette valley project), Is that in war Bonneville power would be needed In the manufacture of chemicals and other war supplies. It so happens, however, that the persons preparing this argument for Administrator Raver, are and have been opposed to establishment of a chemical plant on the Columbia or the use of the power by industries desiring to pro cess latent natural resources, such as manufacture of aluminum. JURISDICTIONAL strikes, such aa paralyzed the Pacific Northwest, will not be tolerated In the national capital hereafter, for Uncle Sam Is tired of seeing construction work held up because of Jealous labor leaders. The department of Justice Is prosecuting union officers under the anti-trust law. When tall, severe-looking Frank Murphy was governor of Michigan he tolerated the sit-down strikes whtch resulted In seizure of private property. Interruption of U. 8. mails, and loss of millions of dollara In wages. Aa attorney general. Murphy has indicted officers of a union charged with using strikes and other methods to force an employer to break a contract with a rival union. Similar situations and tactics have been common throughout the coun try in the past six years and have occurred riere aeveral times a year, but now the administration is de termined to put an end to It. There Is a possibility that the prosecutions In Washington are a warning of what Is to come; an open ing gun. It la known that the de partment has been considering mov ing in on a number of strike scenes. This Is only a phase of a genera attack on Individuals, corporations, unions and contractors who are sus pected of retarding construction. They are to be charged v:th violat ing the anti-trust laws. Several Pa cific coast cities, notably Seattle, will be In the headlines when the de partment of Justice goes into action. AMERICAN Association of Highway Officials has approved. In prin ciple, an amendment to the federal aid law which will permit two per cent of the highway fund allotted to a state to be used to acquire trees along the highways.

All lament the terrible di lemma, but offer no solution, Do you mean to infer there is none? Would not the same policy employed by the United Status for 150 years, if applied to the whole world, be equally success ful? Would it be a hardship to any nation or stale, to oblige them to Join the federation and be subject to a majority rule? Is there not fair-minded in telligence enough available to insure equal justice, what more should anyone want? With the federal government in control of all war material and factories for the same, how could the states go to war? You know, as well as I, that war will never cease, so long as any state or nation, is allowed to prepare for war. Can you not indorse this idea and pass it along? Yours very truly, Ira C. Jones.
