Mr. Hoover, former president, hints he will take no activo rjart in the affairs of the Re publican party in 1940. So has everybody else been niming and hoping. ... Finland, engaged in a diplo matic argument with Russia, has long been noted, "for san ity in government." The same thing shows up in this country accidentally and occasionally, and not without wailing. ... Turkey-dressing schools are now the order of the day In many sections of the Pacific coast. The undertaker gets ex perience, and all the gold nug gets he mines from the craw of deceased. ... "Later In the day we drove over to Lenox, Mass., where the Democratic Women's Club held a n o n - partisan gathering." (From "My Day," the First Lady's Column). Sure! "Politics are adjourned." ... The invention of a Nebraska Inventor, to make an auto run on nothing but water, has fliv vered. However ,the exclusive use of water still produces the best driving. ... The Older Girls have started knitting, causing a demand for "coarse yarns" for knitting, not blushing. ... The current Pacific coast football season is pronounced the "most peculiar in two dec ades." It's the first time every halfback In California, isn't a red-hot candidate for the AU- American team. ... An Americanization school will teach aliens how to take orders from women. It is hoped the women have better luck than the average policeman. ... "Things are In a pretty bad way all over. A large number of people can't think, and those who can think don't know what to think." (Richmond News Record). Whnt the Sam Hell? ... A 15-year-old Michigan boy won a brenk-baking contest from 25 housewives. The lad's mother did fine work. ... Washington, D. C. officials have discarded the view the United States must enter the European war (so-called), with out denying its efficiency In taking the public mind off seven years of New Deal messing. This means the President will behold no more mythical U boats off the coast of Florida, or make any more "I'll-be-back-ln-t h e-spring, if-we-d o n't-havc-war speeches. ... "THE I.OKII OIVETIl nKST" "Many Inrritfrs, Including big ones who walk away Irom the treasury year after year with their pocket, tufted with unearned banknotes. answer the question by Instating that for aheer reliability In con trolling production and thereby reg ulating price at home and abroad, acta of Ood rre better than acta of leglala tors."

Slaymaker, Oregon Journal staff artist, died here today. jlf'aJiiH a)$Wuti Editorial Correspondence En Route Canadian National, North Bay, Ont., to Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 28. We hope the quintuplets feel duly flattered. Your correspondent arose at 5:24 a. m. to see them, which necessitated taking the same train the next off the train in a rain, on in a howling snowstorm! But it was worth it girls, not but to have such convincing evidence that all we need to build up a marvellous race on this northern hemisphere is to have a few more Dr. Defoes and allow knowledge, from the time of the accouchment, until maturity. That shouldn't be so difficult. The St. Lawrence river is the locale of the Thousand Islands. This part of Ontario is the locale of the Thousand LAKES! Never have we seen so many lakes, all shapes and sizes, with one common characteristic, thickly wooded shores down to the water's edge. Some U. S. hunters from Detroit came to the Empire Hotel last night after a hunting trip of two weeks, north of Lake Nis spising, on the shores of which North Bay is situated. They had the largest Moose we have ever seen, a cross between a giant percheron and a small elephant. According to the hotel clerk the antler spread made a new record, but as he was one of these glib greeter-and-local-booster types (decidedly rare in Canada) we took his blurb with a grain of salt. But they were huge. As a result in every lake the train has skirted and no exag geration there have been little else for a good 350 miles we have expected to see a moose appear on the water's edge. But to date none has. In such thick, dense forests as these we wonder how a moose with a spread like that ever navigates, should think it would be like a man with a Saratoga trunk bolted to his hat, trying to climb a tree. Yes, it's surely "MOOSEY" looking country! ..... For at least five hours none of the lakes was frozen, though a blizzard was raging and it was so cold on the observation platform that even the gal with a fur coat and a beaver hat, couldn't stick it. But now for several hours they have all been frozen, the train going so near to some, that one can see animal tracks on the flat, white surface. The porter says the fishing in these lakes "can't be beat." We are inclined to believe, him. Have been travelling steadily now for 12 hours the train left North Bay at 5:34 a. m. and there haven't been more than half a dozen stops. And in all this dis tance there hasn't been a place half as large as Medford. In such a vast and sparsely settled country, the fishing must be good, nothing to make it otherwise. Again quoting the porter, pickerel, pike, trout, and the renowned muskellunge, abound. ..... Speaking of fish the porter is a strange one. He has features like a Chinaman, the same being emphasized by the fact he wears a little round box-like black cap, a la Chinese mandarin. He is extremely talkative, but there is something vaguely sinister about the man, perhaps someone has told him he looks like Akim Tamiroff. At any rate he has a way of half closing his eyes, and speaking very low and rapidly without the slightest change of expression. He wasn't very cheering when he greeted us in the dark this morning with the snow swirling along the bleak and dimly lighted railroad platform: "It's hard to work when you're sick" said he. "What's the matter?" "I have got SUGAR diabetes!" We offered to help him but he would have none of it, though he declined with rather the air of an early Christian martyr being led to the lions. He didn't have on his Mardarin cap then, but looked like any other porter of the "light complected" type. For a man with SUGAR diabetes! he has been extremely active and talkative. One thing certain, no one need worry about Christmas trees, there are enough in Ontario alone, to supply the Christian nations until the next millenium. Hundreds of thousands of acres of them, mile after mile, and covered from tip to toe with fine, fresh snow. When the sun comes out, as it does at INfrequent intervals, the landscape is dazzling, like one huge Christmas card, the old fashioned kind sprinkled with star dust. And we have yet to see a tree good for anything but stove wood. In fact nine out of ten of the pines are so small they would make perfect Christmas trees for the seven dwarfs. This country reminds one of Maine, as the country around Callandar, Ontario, reminded one of New England. Papa Dionne's farm for example, was a dead ringer for an old abandoned farm near Andover, Mass., with huge moss-covered rocks protruding here and there from the rolling fields and meadows, so one sympathized with Papa when he has to plow. Hitting one of those rocks would be no joke, for the PLOW! Winnipeg, Manitoba Judging by th'is Canadian National train, railroad transportation in Canada is at least ten years behind the United States. This is the best train the C. N. R. operates, and while it has all the comforts of home they are old fashioned, and the schedule is ALMOST as slow as Rosey's freight. Winnipeg is just about as far west as Omaha, for example, and Montreal corresponds to New York. It took this train, the "Con tinental Limited", 37 hours to make the run, which is at least ten hours slower than the "fastest" run from New York to Omaha. And while there is a dining car, observation car and valet, there is no ladies' maid or barber. We can worry along without the former, perhaps, but not the latter. Haven't had a hair-cut since we arrived in Washington, D. C, supposing of course the job could be done en route. (If one of these Doukhobor ranchers catch sight of us, we are lost!) An hour stop here so we took a bit of a Jaunt around the wheat bolt metropolis, population 400,000. Seemed mild after that north wind in Montreal, so were surprised to find the ther mometer at the Fort Garry hotel read exactly freezing 32 degrees. A very attractive hotel as are all the large city hotels in Canada but no one about. No one about the streets for that matter, the reason being the Sabbath of course. Returning to the station ran into a large procession of soldiers in khaki, marching four abreast, as In Montreal some of them In uniform and some not. But a far finer looking lot of young men, the outfits we saw in Montreal looked as though they had merely scooped in the nearest bread line and let it go at that, all sizes and ages and practically none looked fit. These mid-western Canadians, on the other hand, are a very different lot physically they will go abroad as the "Royal Winni peg Rifles", known also as the "Black Devils" who made quite a name for themselves in France. As Ontario was like Maine and New England, Manitoba is like Nebraska and Kansas. flat, spread out, probably the greatest wheat belt in the world, when it comes to quality and yield. The soil is black and deep, the wheat farmers making a good thing out of the war, they say, with wheat pegged at 70 cents. As far as we can recall Winnipeg holds the world's record for width of its streets. One would need field glasses to recognize anyone on t'other side of the Main Stem. We sec by the Winnipeg Tribune it IS warmer today than yesterday here are the official figures for yesterday: 6:30 a. m., 17. Noon, 28. Sunset, 1! Should think the next train for Florida would be pretty popular hereabouts! Before we forget it, there was an election-day Incident In Montreal, which should be put in the record. to our mind it shows the French influence in amusing fashion. day at the same unearthly hour, only to see you, "cute darlings", them to apply their scientific that part of Canada, in rather i i While on that sight-seeing bus, we ran into a large crowd In a residence street, so large the bus had to turn out it was after the accident and the driver wasn't going to take another chance. We no sooner stopped than three or four shots rang out, and we then noticed that everyone in the crowd was looking intently toward the upper branches of a nearby tree. Our first thought was some fugitive from justice had been treed, for we noticed a number of policemen in the crowd, and one with a revolver in his hand directly under it. But as usual Nancy, the actress, was about six jumps ahead of everyone else, "Why it's an owl!" she cried, "don't you see it, on that branch there?" Sure enough there was the wise old bird, turning his head slowly from side to side, but otherwise showing no signs of agitation. Everyone got out of the bus. It took Nancy about half a minute to get the low-down from the nearest cop. "This being election day the Montreal police force had em phatic instructions to allow no crowds to gather anytime, any place. But this owl was doing just that, therefore it had to be done in before a riot could start. But the policeman simply couldn't hit the bird with his revolver, so a policeman had been dispatched to get a shotgun. It was hoped the crowd wouldn't get much larger as it was traffic was being held up, things looKea more serious every minute," etc., etc, . . Had we known how near we were to our hotel we would have left the bus and seen the drama out, but the driver couldn't wait, he was already late and suffered severely from the jitters, so Insisted upon driving us all on, to our starting place. That night, however, we found the denouement in the news papers. A man living nearby with a shotgun was secured and he brought Brother Owl down at the first shot. But not down far enough, the dead bird caught in a crotch of the tree. WHAT TO DO THEN! The French-Canadian police and decided the only proper way was to send for the fire depart ment. So with siren screaming along came the Montreal hook and ladder contingent, ladders were yanked up and with great speed and dispatch the owl was brought down. What to do with it? Another police huddle was held. It was decided to present the bird, which measured three feet from wing tip to wing tip to the helpful citizen who had shot it! Tableaux of presentation, very formal! So at long last the crowd dispersed. We can imagine an incident like that in France or some other .atin country, out not in any 100 Personal Health Service By William Signed letter! pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Urady If a stamped self addressed envelope Is enclosed.

NO COFFEE A few days after publication in this column of "Query From a Sourpuss," in which I, a tee- to t a 1 e r for many reasons. said that many elderly folk, not all, should h a v e a daily ration of wine or other mild alcoholic bev erage, to keep them from be coming sour- pusses and be ing too hard for ordinary folk to live with, came the fol lowing letter from a veteran reader who, if I recollect, has sent me verses from time to time in praise of my teachings: Dear Doctor Brady: A bit of a shock to your old friend to have a doctor of your great influence not only advo cate . . .

Yes, I know some doctors can be pretty emphatic when they express their views and have no convincing practical evidence to support them. Remember how emphatic a lot of them were 20 years ago about removing tonsils and teeth? They're remarkably quiet about that now. ... I can imagine youngsters (my own grandchildren among them) healthy and thriving on milk food for babes and grown ups saying, "Mom, I'm old enough to drink coffee Dr. Brady says it is all right for children and won't hurt any body ..." And from that Imaginary scene It is but an easy step to the inference that Ol' Doc Brady approves of feeding infants on tea, coffee, beer, wine, cocoa, whisky or almost anything you have around the house. In my Judgment coffee should not be given to children under sixteen years of age.

R.W.R Brady, M.D. FOR KIDS valids had better seek advice from their physicians in regard to drinking coffee. For ordinary folk two or three cups of cof fee daily, taken as a beverage, not to wash down unmasticated food is generally rather benefic ial. Of course a cupful of good coffee contains a fair medicinal dose of caffeine (perhaps l'4 to 2 grains), and caffeine is a stimu lant to heart, brain, kidneys. Coffee taken late at night may keep you awake. But coffee after dinner in the evening cannot explain wakefulness more than four hours later. I disagree cordially with any and all doctors or health au thorities who teach that coffee is harmful to every one. I reeard enffeo , i,o.,fi: . beverage for the great majority of ordinary people.

The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by Tbe North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. Washington, Nov. 2. Ger many's concessions to Russia are at the very heart of the present European situation. Ac cording to the best-informed American officials, they are even huger than is generally supposed. Under one article of their agreement with the Sov iets, the Germans are now se cretly dismantling the fortifica tions of Memel. Under another, the Russians are beginning construction of powerful military and air bases just across the border of East Prussia. Still a third article, not yet acted upon, is believed to add all the old kingdom of Ru mania not merely Bessarabia to Tussia's other territorial acquisitions. With Russia threatening East Prussia in the north, and in the south probably commanding Germany's b r e a d-basket, the rich Danubian valley, from be hind the bastion of the Car pathians, the Germans are pay ing a cruel price for Russian support. That the support will be forthcoming, at least for the time being, seems to be abun dantly proved. The curious thing is, how ever, that, in the opinion of one high authority, the price was promised in the belief that the promise could be redeemed at the usual depreciated nazi rate. In other words, Hitler is thought to have planned to re pudiate his concessions to Stalin when it came time to make good on them. This theory of the history of the Russo-German pact is unus ually striking, both because it seems to fit the known facts better than any other, and be cause the authority who orig inated it is known for his bril liant analyses of foreign affairs, It begins with the strangest of all the facts now on the record that, until a period several days after the pact with the Soviets was signed, and only a few days before the outbreak of war. Hitler and his advisers were unshakably convinced that the English and French would not fight. The conviction was testified to in a number of important ways, notably assurances of peace given by the German for eign office to its banking con nections in London and Paris. These assurances were in turn passed on, and caused the sur prising misreading of the situa tion in the treasury here and in banking circles in New York. The reasons for the conviction were obvious enough. First, the English had not originally intended to fight, and Hitler could not forget the strong signs of a year or so before that he would have some thing very like carte blanche to the eastward. Second, Von Rib- bentrop, misinformed by his friends among the remnants of the "appeasement" group in London, persistently misin formed Hitler. And, third, there was the Soviet pact itself. This was intended to be a grand set piece stopping the English and French in their tracks, making clear the footlessness of trying to aid the Poles, and insuring the truth of Von Ribbentrop's predictions. The important thing to re member, according to the above mentioned high authority, is tnat the Russo-German pact was signed in this atmosphere of semi-religious faith in the pacifist tendencies of England and France. This being so, and taking Into account all other aspects of the situation, the evidence clearly suggests that Ribbentrop was sent to Moscow with orders to sign anything. He was empow ered to make any promise, sub scribe to any Russian demand, offer any conceivable conces sion; but to return to Berlin with some sort of agreement. The agreement, which would confirm English and French pacifism, was what Hitler wanted. Then, with England and France out of the way, he could go into Poland with his whole army and his whole air force, meet the Russians at the Polish border, and toss the agreement in Stalin's face. The only trouble with this Macchiavellian schedule of the future was that the future did not work out that way. After a day of shocked horror, the English and French composed their minds and steeled their wills. By August 30, the Ger mans were finally convinced that the democracies would fight after all. But, by August 30, Hitler had Involved himself so deeply that he could not draw back. He had to go on, and, going on, he has had to re deem his promises to Russia down to the last exacting detail. Such is the theory of the high authority. As a footnote to con temporary history, it deserves consideration. 1 T "trrtJ Day's iNews. By Frank Jenkins. WINNIE RUTH J U D D, cap tured within a few blocks of the Arizona state asylum from which she recently fled, says that within her brief absence she "saw horrible things."

Is THE PUBLIC any better off because of the display of soft-heartedness that saved Win nie Ruth Judd from paying the death penalty? After all, we mustn't forget that the purpose of tmnishment is to PREVENT FURTHER CRIME. The fate of the con victed criminal is a mere inci dent. AS THESE words are written, the City of Flint is still in the big headlines, having just shown up at a Norwegian port, from which she was nrnmntlv shooed out. It is just as well to remem ber that the bulk of the ruckus over this ancient anrl nnf valuable American vessel has been stirred up in an effort to smoke Stalin out and make him admit whether he considers him self a thick-and-thin pal of Hit ler or still maintains the pose of neutrality. Unless you keep this fact clearly in mind, you are run ning the risk of becoming so excited over the incident as to regard it as a justifiable cause for war. It isn't any such thing. THE British have seized two 1 dozen or more American ships on the same pretext (carry ing contraband of war), but no headlines have resulted.
