Turn bull, of the University School of Journalism at Eugene, and Just off the press. This 900-plus page volume is an interesting and rather unusual combination of extensive factual information concerning Oregon's Fourth Estate, from its earliest beginnings; and a profusion of native color and unconscious humor, inherent in journalism, par ticularly in its pioneer stages. By "unconscious humor" we don't mean the author was not aware of the comedy he was transcribing, quite the contrary. But the early-day newspaper editors, or at least many of them were. In fact the more serious, stentorian, personal and declamatory the editors become, the more amusing they appear, to our more adult and sophisticated age. And we commend the author's manner. Which is not the manner of cocking the eye, and self-consciously picking out a plum of humor, but merely quoting verbatim the various pontifical potentates of the press, in such a way, and in such relation to the context, that the humor is obvious, and at times really side-splitting. WE doubt if many Oregon editors fail to find certain improve ments that might be made in the treatment of their own districts. Anything else would be too much to expect in a book of this sort, which necessarily takes in so much territory and deals with such an exacting and temperamental group. After all the average Oregon editor knows, or THINKS he knows, more about the real newspaper picture in his own bailiwick than anyone else, and an entirely objective and correct appraisal, from the proper historical perspective may seem to him in many directions, inadequate, when from that viewpoint, IT ISN'T. BUT this is incidental as far as the real value of the book is concerned, coming under the general admission that too many editors are prima donnas, their profession tends to make them so. "History of Oregon Newspapers" as a whole is Just what its title declares, a history of the papers, large and small, from the "Year One" In this Btate, and is thus an invaluable book of refer ence not only for every newspaper library, but every public and private library in the state. But more than that it is an amusing and Interesting book to pick up and read purely for entertainment, at any time and to be opened one might say, at any place. At least this has been the experience of the present writer, and we can imagine no news paper worker not enjoying a similar experience. (En Passant a member of the profession can't fail to get considerable satisfaction out of the overwhelming evidence presented, that whatever defects the modern newspapers of Oregon, may have, as NEWSPAPERS, they have steadily -improved physically and. morally, since the first Washington Hand Press operated in 1846.) FINALLY Professor Turnbull's painstaking research demon strates that more than any other profession, the history of the newspaper profession, gives one an intimate and unique insight into the political and social history of a state. Is Gen 7 Johnson Pro- German? IN view of Great Britain's order concerning neutral shipping to or from Germany, that it will be seized on sight, the recent comment by General Hugh Johnson, on that and kindred subjects, is timely and interesting. General Johnson! .... It Is beginning to be unpopular to argue for "keeping out of war." The charge is killing a dead horse that nobody wants to get in. anyway. But if increasingly taking sides is tending to get in, that, at least, ought still to be worth talking about and especi ally to call attention to every official act that tends that way, try to do that and see what you get. As long as what you say is favorable to the allies, you don't get much. But if you criticize the allies or our own Bction that seems to be unneutral as unnecessarily unfavor able to Germany or as unduly favorable to her enemies you are a Nazi sympathizer, or anti-British, or anti-Semetic, or almost anything but the one thing we all ought to be trying to be, which is anti-war and pro-American. They come pretty close to being the same thing. ONE complaint I get that this column seems to be sympathetic with Hitler is incredible to me. I had a little to contribute toward our fight against Germany in the World war. The first public utterance of a federal public official excoriating Hitler, I made in the first year of his reign. It was scathing enough to draw a diplomatic protest to our state department. If he ever took important action which this column supported, I can't recall it. Others may have criticized the Nazis as consistently, but 1 don't know who. But, If we are to maintain a strict official neutrality to keep us out of this war, that doesn't mean that we should keep silence about everything that Britain does in similar categories much less that we should sprinkle whatever she does no matter what may be its odor with patchouli leaves even if printed American criticism of Britain is sometimes garbled and misquoted in German papers. , LIKE almost every other American, my feeling is for England and against the Nazis. 1 know of no drop ot blood in my veins that doesn't come from the British Isles from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. But I have another feeling many times stronger than either of these opposing ones it is for our country. I THINK one-sided comment on this situation is, of itself, dangerous. To whatever extent any comment has effect, it seems to nie that that kind of dishonesty builds up emo tion for one side of a foreign quarrel and intensifies it against another. Lopsided emotion alone can get us Into this war. Reason never will. Exactly that is the sole purpose of the organized foreign propaganda against which we are so Indignant. If we won't stand for it from publicists of warring powers, how can we stomach it among our own? This column said recently that the British had hi jacked some ;i() of our ships to the Germans' one the City of Flint and that our state department began at once to give press handouts on the Flint and scarcely mentioned the other. This drew a blast that It wasn't "hi jacking," it was legal in international law and not true as to the number of English seizures. The last statement Is incorrect. More than 30 seizures occurred, lll-jacking is grabbing somebody else's goods in transit by force. Whether hi jacking a neutral vessel at sea is legal depends on whether, upon visit and search at sea, it Is found destined to a blockaded port, or guilty of unneutral conduct, or carries contraband. Regardless of this rule, most of these ships were seized, taken to Britain and deter mined lays Inter to be entirely innocent. It was a British violation of American rights but we suffered it in silence. Is it pro Nazi to say so? Our state deportments' neglect to say so about similar British seizures was one reason why we got Into the World war.

THE UBIQUITOUS In the case of the little boy successfully treated for pneu mococcus meningitis from ear infection with incision of the bulging ear drum to give vent to the pus in the ear and full doses of sulfa pyridine for four days, as described here the other day, cultures of penumococ cus (pneumon la germ) type I were obtain ed from the boy's throat, from the pus that drained from the mid dle ear - after incision of the bulging ear drum, and from the fluid taken from the spinal can al when the question of menin gitis arose (because of the pain in ear, followed by complaint of dizziness and pain in back of neck when the child tried to raise his head from the pillow). Whether the sulfanilamide or sulfapyridine accounted for the recovery, or whether the child would have made the same prompt recovery following drainage of the ear if no medi cine had been given at all, of course must remain a conjec ture. Eventually perhaps we shall find from accumulated experience in practice just what remedial value sulfanilamide or sulfapyridine has. At present the question Is unsettled. The praptical point in the case cited, which should inter est every one, is that from the bacteriological study of the case it is reasonable to infer that the boy first had a simple sore throat or perhaps it was called a "cold." Thru sheer fate or neglect of proper treatment or wrong treatment or possibly poor immunity from faulty nu trition, the pneumococcus in fection spread from throat to the middle ear, via the Eustach ian tube, that air-duct between the middle ear cavity and the back of the throat. Or maybe the child had never been taught how to blow the nose and by improper nose-blowing forced some infected material from the back of the throat into the Eustachian tube and the middle ear space. Well, how should one blow the nose, if at all? The less blowing the better, in any circumstance. Gently, always. Never with one or both nostrils pinched. Only with nostrils unobstructed and handkerchief or paper nap kin held under but not In con tact with the nose. Never blow forcibly. Merely breathe out thru the nose a little more vig The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Ino. Washington, Nov. 22. The president Is obviously having the time of his life with the third term controversy. His lightest word Is treated as an awful augury, and, when he laughs at the anxious augurs, his very laughter is subjected to extensive interpretation. Ev eryone has an emphatic opinion as to whether he will run or won't, and currently the opin ions of the majority appear to be that he won't. It isn't quite as simple as all that, however, if the criterion is to be the president's own dis cussion of the topic with the men around him. Like everyone else in the country, he has late ly been talking third term, with members of his cabinet, lesser officials, political leaders and simple private friends. The net of more than one of these con versations, as transmitted by the parties of the second part, Is about as follows: The president does not want a third term, will not seek one. and is extremely anxious to re tire. After seven eventful years in office, his nostalgia for Hyde Park's country Joys increases steadily. There has been no in dication that a purely domestic political situation would alter his decision not to run again. But It has been plainly indi cated that, if the security of the United States should be threat ened from without, he would enniilt.p il lii rlnlv in rim In I other words, the third term is Brady, BID. PNEUMOCOCCUS orously than ordinarily to favor drainage. Where did the boy get the pneumococcus in the first place? Probably from some one who had "just a slight cold," so called. One never knows what such indisposition may prove to be, in the stage when the ignor ant or vicious individual who has it goes about spreading his infection among all who are so unfortunate as to come within his conversational spray range, for example. Ignorant or vicious people are encouraged in this spreading of infection by the teachings of many of our pub lic health administrators. I've sounded off about this for years, but they're pretty thick-skinned, the politicians who hold down the top jobs in public health de partments and some of them have their followers pretty well convinced that it Is mainly a question of keeping one's feet dry or avoiding drafts Or the weather.

Beverly Hills, Calll. out unless the country Is in danger of attack or actually at war. This is the position which the president has repeatedly expressed over a considerable period. A couple of years ago. In a long dinner-table talk, then reported in this space, he took the case of Abraham Lincoln as his text for a sermon on the third term issue. He argued that, despite outward appearances, the historic precedents against a third term were not binding. Instead, he said that a third term was simply undesirable, except when a great task remained to be performed, and he expresses the thought that. If John Wilkes Booth had missed his aim. It would have been Lincoln's "duty" to run sgaln, to accomplish the humane re construction of the south. The parallel Is unmistakable be tween this talk of a couple of years ago and his more recent discussions with the men around him. What may not be apparent is the real fer vor of the president's wish to tears the White House. It la commonly said that, when the time comes, no president can bear the thought of going, nils may be so. Possibly the president Is only deceiving himself. At any rate, he gives every sign of being sincere. A case in point is that of a high official with little Interest In poli tics who must be often at the White House. Before the war, when the new deal group was actively agitat ing for a third term, one of their emissaries approached this official and asked him to Issue a "draft Roosevelt" statement. The official, who Is not overly fond of the new dealers, sent the emissary rudely about his business. Then thinking It was wise to be completely frank, he told the president what he had done. ' Tho president replied by congratu lating the official and explaining In the most vlvld and emphatic terms DANCE TONIGHT Townsend Hall Come In Costume or Com as You Art Prize march 11:30 Ladies 10c Men 35c ALL INVITED that he did not want a third term, would not seek one. sod had no shadow of a part lo the agitation for one. He spoke so warmly, in fact, that tho official was decidedly taken aback. Curiously enough, members of the new deal group seem to bs the only class of men close to him with whom the president hss not mull ad over his future. They know, of oourse. how he has been talking, and what his Inclinations are. When the schism In the Democratic party was at its worst, they were convinced despite evidence to the contrary, that the president would end by taking the third term nomination. Now, with the party united, they are not so sure, but have not abandoned their hopes. In this quarter, you hear partial confirmation of the recurring Wash ington rumor about a aoon-to-be-lssued presidential statement on the third term question. The prediction is that the statement will be made either at the Jackson day dinner on January 8, or on the president's birthday a fortnight later. But the new dealers believe that the presi dent will not go further in Ms state ment than he did In the discussions Outlined above. If they are correct, he will simply say he does not wish and will not try to run, leaving him self a loophole. And through this loophole, they still hope to persuade or push him. i - In The Day's News By Frank Jenkins. INCREASED shipping losses (mostly merchant, with one Japanese ship reported in the total) are the feature of this week's news so far. The British charge that the Germans are strewing the North sea with MAGNETIC mines. A magnetic mine is a peculiarly develish instrument, as a ship doesn't need actually to HIT it in order to be destroyed. When a ship merely GETS NEAR, the magnetic mine does its deadly work. DR1TAIN has ships and can use them. The neutrals trade chiefly with Britain, sup plying British needs. Thus Ger many has little to lose and much to gain by indiscriminate de struction of shipping. The only rule that REALLY COUNTS in war is that you do whatever you think you have to do to win. IT WOULD be tough if some of the roving German sub marines should hit some of these floating German mines. It would be like setting a trap for your enemy and then falling into the trap yourself. IIE KNOW from the last war " that submarines can work a lot of havoc. The big question yet unsolved is whether AIR PLANES can master BATTLE FLEETS. OUSSIA warns Finland of her determination to establish "a strong peace all over the Finnish gulf," and as evidence of her determination begins na val maneuvers from her new Baltic bases. Russia's idea of a strong peace, of course, is a peace DOMIN ATED BY RUSSIA. You can nearly always have peace with a bully by doing exactly as the bully says. INDIA is acting up. Gandhi is a smart trader, knowing when to tighten the screws. He is demanding a pledge of Indian independence as the price of Indian co-operation with Britain in the war. The time to close a deal YOUR WAY is when the other fellow NEEDS WHAT YOU HAVE. WHETHER India is ready for the status of a self-governing British dominion (like Can ada) is hard to say. A lot of wondering is being done as to what will happen to the Phil ippines when they get turned loose as a self-governing people. (Even the Philipinos are be ginning to wonder.) Plan PUD Petition.

The Investigation win attempt to determine what effect the depletion of the pilchards baa on salmon, as the latter feed on the former. Protest la also made that pilchards Instead of being used for food (served Bs sardines with tomato sauce), are being used by the ton as fertilizer.

The order applies principally to hides and skins and other byproducts. Heretofore there have been strin gent regulations to keep foot and mouth, rinderpest and anthroz (all contagious diseases), out of the United States. The three diseases were blanketed together.
