A wave of disgust swept over the valley In mid-week, when a bomb planted In a Munich beer hausen, failed to explode in time and only scared a year's growth out of Herr Hitler of Germany, for whom it was Intended. Citizens poured up to Eugene over the week-end to see a foot ball game, like they were getting out of a Dust Bowl, and faster than they ever rushed to the polls, on election day. The weather around here con tinues what the medical society ordered. Ashland Democrats will meet week from tomorrow, and eat turkey. It will be a pre-Thanks-giving affair, and all are ostens ibly thankful they are still Democrats. . The Dubb Watson boy Edd. who will be 14, Nov. 30, had a tooth pulled Tues. It was his first time in a dentist's chair, and could hardly wait to get out, with or without the offending bicuspid.

The intersection with West Main is where the brakes screech the loudest. So far all concerned have been able to stop in time. Hermy Offcnbacher of the Applcgate, was among the farm ers who came to town Friday to do their Saturday trading. Del Getchell, the banker-poet, is still wearing a cane and flaunting same with gusto, as if he enjoyed limping.

Hunt of the magic lantern shows, presented a top ranking violinist Tues who awed music lovers with his mastery of the violin, and never hit a note that made a noise like a rat-tall file Several of the fair sex reported the playing was exquisite, and others said it made them want to float. Veterans of the Great war met and mingled Sat. in honor of Armistice Day, and rcfouglit the Bnttle of the Argonne. . The Elks tomcat was repri manded by his teacher last week for coming to school looking like something the cat dragged in He was sent home to wash be hind his ears, and comb his whiskers.

Dr. Maltese reported the mal-adjustmcnts were probably due to sleeping with the tail curled over his nose to keep the nasal organ warm. 0af60(SjHl5s(filMI Yes, and No To the Editor: I notlca In mdiy'i paper you again state that England la lighting Germany for the "control of Europe." Isn't that placing the causus belli on rather a low plane? It teems to me England and France are lighting for decency, honor, and honesty In Europe, for a Europe where a country's word la as good as lt bond, not merely another scrap of paper. It la my opinion that Chamberlain Is sincere when be saya that all he wanta Is to destroy Hitler and Hltlerlsm, not the German people, and when Oermany throws over Hitler and the Nazle there will be peace, regardless of what power controla or doesn't control Europe. Am I right?' A. O. MANNING, Medford, Nov. 11. Yes, and no. Our correspondent is right in maintaining there are other issues in this conflict than the control of Europe; but not, we think, in denying that the FUNDAMENTAL issue, is the control of Europe. We mean by that, if Germany under Hitler did NOT threaten to control Europe, by a policy of piecemeal conquest, there would be no war at the present time. Germany or Hitler, could have had what ideologies they might desire, moral, IMmoral or AMoral, and England would have considered the same none of her business, as far as going to war, was concerned. It was when, through the application of his Ideologies that Hitler stepped out to not only gain back what Germany lost by the Treaty of Versailles, but to become the dominant power from the Baltic to the Black Sea, that Chamberlain reluctantly aban doned his policy of appeasement, and was forced by British public opinion, to fight. TIERE is nothing new, nor particularly reprehensible about this. It has been the traditional British policy for 200 years at least, to oppose any nation threatening to gain the mastery of Europe, and by maintaining an approximate equilibrium there, be in a position to hold the balance of power herself. , A classic example of this occurred only a few years ago, when France by her alliance with Russia and formation of her Little Entente, so alarmed 10 Downing Street, and the ruling class in England, that almost overnight they became aggressively pro German. The plan was then to build up weakened Germany at the expense of France; not because of any love for Germany, but fear of Soviet Russia and France. Hitler by his amazing successes, however, culminating in the Munich pact, changed all that. He and Russia, not France and Russia suddenly became the outstanding threat, and Britain's policy changed at once to meet it. WE are not denying there are moral principles involved also, and important ones. England and France do represent honor, honesty and integrity between nations; Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany a cynical paganism and the worship of brute force. BUT the plain truth is, neither England, nor any other nation in EurODe. goes to war to nnhnld the Ten CnmmnHmnit the Sermon on the Mount, or any other moral or theological considerations. They go to war on one basis, vital national interests are at stake. When after Munich, Hitler plainly showed that he was going to get his, while the getting was good, and nothing on Heaven or Earth was going to stop him except a superior force, Great Britain proceeded to get together that superior force. Poland, as the next step in Hitler's conquest, was put up as a chip on John Bull's shoulder, so to speak, when that was knocked off Downing Street knew the time had come to strike. IT was knocked off and so the war was on. But not because of the moral iniquities of Der Fuehrer and his Nazis, but because, from the standpoint of the control of Europe, the zero hour for the empire on which the sun never sets had struck! What We Inherit SCIENTIFIC facts of life boiled down to the language as simple as the stork stnrv are nrpRpnted In a now hnnlr "Vm, nnH Heredity" by Amram Schcinfcld company, New York. Facts from the genetics laboratories and research fields on human heredity make the book as Four and twenty chromosomes linked in a chain gang that deter mine inheritance factors from each parent are replicas of those the parents themselves received when their lives began at zero, the author stressed. Nothing that a human can do will change the make-up of the eternal germ-plasm. Changes in body cells do not affect chromosomes of germ cells. What humans don't inherit, drunkenness, and physical defects own births. He stresses that the interrelated and dependent on each other in making humans what they are that they can not be considered apart. Whera heredity falls down environment may be present to carry on. "VNE of the most Interesting chapters is on the five little Dlonnes and how they grew. The quintuplets are "identicals" and carry exactly the same hereditary factors. All the quints have a slight web between the second and third toes on each foot. One, "Emllle," is left-handed. "Marie" is the more far-sighted and has slight crossed eyes, the author reveals. Another readable chapter is, ''How Do You Know Baby's Yours." Here the author goes into analysis of blood types and its classification into four hereditary groups. He again stresses that "paternity laws" are no respectors of individuals. Genetic knowledge, to date, proof of parentage, but will throw light on almost any case, the author concludes. "You and Heredity" is a book resting on solid scientific ground. It not only answers the question on "Where did you come from, baby, dear," but also predicts scientifically where you are going.

TRAINING "Recently taking advantage of your hint," writes a physician who specializes in the treatment of diabetes, "I have gone into the situation very thorough ly and confess that I have learned this: (1) that diabe tic diets arc particu 1 a r 1 y rich in vita mins; (2) that there is little evidence that neuritis in dia betes is helped by vitamins; (3) that all of us doctors treating diabetics must scan our patients with greater care and be sure they have no vitamin defic iencies, because all agree that In the course of a chronic dis ease or as a result of infections that might deplete their stores." (I have quoted the doctor's statement verbatim. I believe he meant to say that in chronic illness and in various infections the body requires more than the normal supply of vitamins, whereas in fact owing to re striction of diet or perhaps lack of appetite the daily intake of vitamins is generally less than the normal). If by my constant harping on the desirability of insuring an optimal or liberal daily supply of vitamins and particularly by my tiresome reference to vita min B as "poor man's insulin" I have made one of the fore most diabetes specialists recog nize that the doctor "must scan the patients with greate- care and be sure they have no vita mm deficiencies, I offer no apology to anyone. Not all authorities in the field of diabetes agree that "diabetic diets are particularly rich in vitamins." One authority, for in stance, points out (A. Jour. Di gestive Diseases and Nutrition. 759, '36) that diabetics are likely to develop various complicating symptoms due to vitamin defic iencies if the diet includes arti ficial foods such as gluten bread, diabetic muffins and other special "diabetic foods" in fact all of a group of 85 dia betic patients in the series studied by this authority, in Philadelphia, presented such symptoms. He concludes that the administration of "natural foods containing the essenti.il elements" is the best way to The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kiutner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Ino. Washington, Nov. 11. The radio business wants to know two things about Elliott Roose velt's scheme for a new nation wide radio network. Will the network ever be established? And is it part of a scheme to take the fat checks of Father Charles E. Coughlin, Dr. Francis E. Townscnd and other radio vendors of political snake-oil? It's already public property how the president's second son has at least prepared his net work's corporate skeleton, under the title of Transcontinental Broadcasting System, with a number of his close associates in command. What is not known is the surprising unanimity of the radio people, in privately suspecting that Coughlin, Town send et al will find in the new network the radio outlet they recently lost under the code of the National Association of Broadcasters. The code bars NAB member sta tions from taking money for radio time to be devoted to broadcasts on controversial subjects. Elliott Roose velt's own news broadcasting was af fected, and he took his Texas stations out of the NAB with a fine show of moral Indignation. He then started to try to put together his network It Is understood to have a number of commercial advertising clients In prospect, but the suspicion still re mains as to the highly profitable Cotighllnite and Townsendlte busi ness. Coughlin is already beginning to feel the restraints of the NAB code, and Townsend has been prevented by the code from putting on a long planned coast -to-coast radio ballyhoo for his pension pauses. They would undotlbtedly Jump at any chance to use the new network. If one were of fered. Meanwhile the federal com munications commission has stamped ' the NAB code with the huh app-cna' Of th Roi'Prvrlt artml'! : 1 ;:U -n I Coujjhlin la one of the president Brady, M D, FOR DIABETES prevent or correct these com plicating nutritional disturb ances which are so common in diabetes under the older plan of diet and treatment. He par ticularly commends the follow ing foods in the diet of diabetics regardless of the carbohydrate content of the food: asparagus, celery, cucumber, cranberries, green beets (meaning beet greens, the leafy part of young beets), dandelion greens, lemons, lettuce, limes, mushrooms, okra, radishes, rhubarb, spinach. He observes that most patients with diabetes admit they have never cared much for milk or have taken little of it. Milk and fresh fruits of all kinds are especially valuable in the diet of the pa tient who is training for diabetes one in the prediabetic stage. Here is a good place to repeat the rule of good nutrition: Every adult should have a quart of milk daily and every child un der 16 three pints daily Milk includes fresh whole milk, cream, skim milk, any kind of cheese, custard, ice cream and other dishes containing milk or any of its products. QUESTIONS ANI ANSWERS Tumors Do tumors in the body anywhere ever disappear spontaneously or do they always grow larger? (W. S.) Answer Depends on what you mean by tumor the word signifies only a lump or swelling, and so many tumors , disappear without treatment. Dehydrated Koods I! dehydration of fruit and vege tables lessens their vitamin content, how potent nre tablets, capsules, etc., purporting to contain large amounts of vitamins? (L. J. B.) Answer Perhaps vitamin C Is lost by dehydrating (drying) fruits and vegetables, but fair amounts of other vitamins are preserved. Vitamin prep arations in medicinal or concentrated form must contain the amount of each vitamin they claim or else the government will pounce on the man ufacturer or vendor. Neuromuscular Irritability I am curious to learn what dif ference there Is between nervousness or nervous weakness and the "neuro muscular Irritability" of which you prate. (B. A.) Answer All right, send 2S cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address, for booklet "Nerves ind Nutrition." (Protected by John P. Dllle Co.) Ed. Note: Persons wishing- to eomiiiunlralr with Dr. Brady should send letter direr: to Dr. William Brady. M. D -'5 El Camlno, Beverly Mills, Calif. bitterest enemies, and Dr. Townsend's innuence has done much to trans form California's loquacious Senator Sheridan Downev from an ardent lln- aervant of the new deal Into a fairly rrequent opponent. All of which makes the situation pretty puz2llng. No one should be surprised by John I. Lewis' genial public gestures toward Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. Back In the days of the court fight, the C. I. O. chieftain went through a routine of roaring at nnu-vuun 0111 senators. Although the White House Indulged In some wishful thinking mi the subject, the roaring meant nothing so far as Wheeler was concerned. Lewis trusts Wheeler and Is hevtl obligated to him, for the shrewd sen- mur ooasts a periect labor record. With two ex-prestdents of the Mon tana United Mine Workers on his patronage list, wl-.-eler waa even able to prevent a C.I.O. Indorsement of his arch-enemv. tha new rienl lOA n center, Jerry O'Connell. when O'Con- ne.ii was ngntlng for his political Ufa. Gossip goes on about Wheeler as a posslblo C. I. O.-Rallroad Brotherhood candidate for the Democrats' 1940 nomination. But as yot the Wheeler candidacy looks like Just another of the curious mating dances he and canny old William E. Borah generally perform for their constituents when they are up for re-election. Ifa fine publicity to be a presidential candi date In a senatorial race. J. P. Morgan and Company la In for another of the public goings-over wlUch have become an epidemic af fliction of the great financial house. This time tho Investigating will be done In December by the monopoly committee, when the 8.E.C. presents It Investment banking atudy. The committee wants to know the exact relationship between Morgan's and Morgan. Stanley and Company, the underwriting olfshoot put out by Morgan a when the 1933 banking act barred banka from selling securities. No fireworks or midget are currently anticipated, however. It's an odd presidential habit In crisis periods to make great Innova tions and then forget about them. The war emergency produced two. First, the president asked Federal Loan Administrator Jesse H. Jones, Federal Security Administrator Paul V. MoNutt, and Federal Works Ad ministrator John Carmody to sit with the cabinet. Then he formed a sort of national defense council consisting of the heads of the state, war, navy. Justice, agriculture and labor depart ments. The councU met once. The administrators attended two cabinet raoetlnga, and then faded away after giving rise to the Joke lhat, with Vice President John N. Garner, Postmaster General James . A. Fat ley and Secretary of State Cordell Hull also at the cabinet table, the president could not bear to see so many candidate to succeed him In the same room. Clonus time lor l'oo Late to Cias all; Ads 1 1:30 p m. 10 Seattle, Nov. 11. P) Pal mer Hoyt, publisher of the Port land Oregonian, declared tonight in an address that America must present a united front in the face of the European war crisis. Hoyt, principal speaker at the Armistice Day banquet of the Last Man's club, said every American had an obligation which he should think about. ' "That is the rededication for ourselves and all our people, a rededication to the American way of doing things. With the world in flames, this is no time for alley fights between preju diced minority groups or eco nomic segments of our popula tion. "This is not the time for arbi trary maintenance of the rigid fences of factionalism. America was founded on the principle of give and take. That principle must at all costs be continued. We must pull together and serve as a shining example to a trou bled world," Hoyt said. The Portland publisher warn ed against propaganda's effect on sound judgment. He also denounced press censorship and said the American people were capable of sifting the wheat from the chaff in war news. POPE PIUS ASKS TO LABOR CONFLICT By Richard Massock. Vatican Citv. Nnv. 1 1 i pi Pope Pius XII today urged that tne wisaom 01 "governing pow ers" in the United States and "farseeine eenerositv" of m. ployers be exerted to solve the nations latjrr problems, includ ing unemployment. He also called on labor for "respect of the common weal," expressed regret that "the Chris tian religion is ignored" in many schools and criticized "levity in regard to marriage," and birth control. A major share of a special encyclical addressed to Ameri can bishops on the 150th anni versary of the founding of the Catholic heirarchy in the United States was devoted to a plea for harmony between laboring man and employer. He also decried divorce and the evils of "exaggerated ego ism, thirst for pleasure avarice for power, hungering after riches, neglect of the poor, breaking down of family life and neglect of duty to one's country." "May it be brought about that each and every able-bodied man may receive equal opportunity for work in order to earn daily bread for himself and his own," the pope wrote. 150 GOATS SUPPLY New York (U.R) Commis sioner of Health John L. Rice ha reported that approximately : 150 goats supply New York's, demand for goat's milk 250 quarts daily. I Although goat's milk is pop-1 uiar in fcurope, particularly France. Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Norway and Spain, Rice said it was used only in a few sections of the United States. The supply for New York comes from three dairies, one on Staten island, another at Westbury, L. I., and the third at Castleton-on-Hudson. WALKER HIT TWICE; EACH DRIVER RUNS Georgetown, Ky fP) Bleed ing from a head cut, Robert McGeorge, 26, staggered into a lunch room on a highway near here and said he was struck by a truck while walking. He received first aid treat ment and again set out on foot. A few minutes later he was struck by an automobile. Mc George regained consciousness in a Georgetown hospital. He said neither of the vehicles which struck him stopped to give aid. Reads "Mein Kampf" Winnipeg, Man.

(P) Representative Martin Dies (D., Tex.), chairman of the house committee on un-Ameri-canism, warned Americans in an Armistice day address of "foreign agents here" such as "betrayed Poland." The greatest contribution this country could make to the allies, he said, would be to see that democracy continues to function here.
