About once a year of lnte Wil- belm has been reported as saw lng wood. It was nice of Herr Hitler to do this, though it was poor repayment to Holland, ruth lessly invaded, for the tender solicitude it has shown the royal refugee, who has been uspet by war passing by his door. In the first World War, one of the first things the Allies boasted they would do, was a trial and a hanging for the 1914 war lord. They never got around to this. There has been no mention of what fate would befall his dinky mustached Imitator in world con quering. In the victory that must come, in the present holo caust, arrangements should be mane to nave ucr Fuehrer loin the ex-All Highest, in a wood cutting project at Doom. A clause In the terms of peace should arrange for II Duce of Italy to be sequestered on the same job. The high school track team, the high school bond and the Craters, along with a number of primary candidates were listed among the winners today. BUCK SHEEP SMARTENS UP "Now for the sake of variety, here's a yarn about a buck sheep and a long, brown, tweed coat and a V-shaped 8-inch thick concrete well barrier. George Ellenbergcr tells about it, and it proves something or other perhaps that a buck sheep can profit by a lesson, and also that a buck sheep is a lot of dyna mite when on the move with his head down. Anyway, it happened last fall near Combs canyon, where a sheepherder who wore that kind of coat found himself twice knocked down by a large back sheep, probubly weighing about 200 pounds. By the V-shaped concrete well barrier one fall afternoon, it became warm and he shed the coat, hanging It on the end of the barrier. The buck sheep chanced by and stopped, sniffed suspiciously. finally decided it was the coat which he had no use for, and started hacking up. When about 15 feet away, he sighted, low ered his head, and rut loose The Impact was terrific. It chip ped oU a four-inch hunk of con crete ana Knocked the ram "silly" that is, he was wobbly for about an hour, but wasn't actually knocked out. rext time the herder wore that coat the buck paid no at tention to him whatever he ap parently had had enough of that 'hard-hitting' coat." (Pendleton East Oregonlan.) 'S I Chicago, May 20. J Black coffee and dry cereal graced the breakfast tables of most Chicago homes today the kickback of a milk drivers' strike. Milk and crenm deliveries were halted !n all parts of the city and suburbs for the second time within less than three weeks as negotiations collapsed in a wage dispute between deal ers and drivers. An estimated 80 per rent of the milk supply was shut off yes terday after the milk wagon drivtrs' union, advised by deal ers that a lowered wage scale was In effect, went on strike. It May Beat Dewey IT 6eems incredible. But nevertheless it's true. Only a few weeks ago Candidate Thomas Dewey of Hew York declared this war in Europe was no concern of this .country's, and deplored the efforts of the Roose velt administration to draw this country into it. At that time we questioned the wisdom of such a policy, and suggested that when he came to Los Angeles, the leader of the G. 0. P. race skip this part of his exhortation. We fear Thomas failed to get a copy of The Mail Tribune, for in somewhat milder terms, in Southern California, he took the same isolationist stand. And now see what a spot the New York D. A. is on ! AS we stated at the time, no sentiment can change " more quickly than war sentiment, as war so vividly demonstrated some 20 years ago, when "we the people" elected a President because he had "kept us out of war" and then demanded he take us into it six months later. As we then remarked "war sentiment can change overnight." And it has I Since the invasion of Holland, Belgium and now France, there has been a transformation. Not in anti Hitler feeling, for that was about as strong and unani mous as any feeling could be. But in the fear that unless Der Fuehrer is stopped, the western hemis phere will be next.' A ND this is the same fear that sent this country over " seas in 1917. Now, as then, there will probably be a great deal j of talk about a holy crusade way of life against the onslaughts of a cruel, criminal and ruthless barbarism, (various elaborations of the familiar theme to "make the world safe for democ racy") but also, now as then, the real motive power won't be supplied by abstract ideals or idealism, but by the strongest and most primitive instinct in the human animal, the instinct of self-preservation ! CO there we are as a people, going, as we are so prone to do, from one extreme to another, from an isolationist stand of peace at almost any price, to a stand that can only end in U. S. participation in the European war. Probably not along the line of sending another ex peditionary force overseas, for with modern war what it is, and the conditions in Europe what they are, such action would do no good. But in all likelihood doing everything else. And that has hayipened, not in months, as was the case with World War No. 1, but in weeks, to be strictly accurate, in seven DAYS I rjISTRICT ATTORNEW DEWEY has been smart in most of his moves and utterances, so much so that he was several hundred miles in front the day before Hitler started his latest Blitzkrieg. But not the day after. And today we should say Mr. Dewey hasn't MUCH more chance of being the Republican presi dential nominee than this self-advertising newspaper man of Rochester, N. Y., Mr. Frank Gannett, who has none at all. Lindbergh Is Courageous,-but'- fF course, Colonel Lindbergh will have his hide taken off for suggesting that this country is being stampeded into this war, very much as it was in 1917. But while we can't agree with his conclusions, we do greatly admire his courage. For it does take courage, KEAL courage at such a time to alone set oneself against the popular tide of feeling. More than that, we think it desirable that some one of consequence take the other side of the argu ment, so there will be less chance of the country suc cumbing to the wave of war hysteria that is undoubt edly sweeping the world at this time. LIEAVEN knows, every sane person wishes to keep out of war, this war or any other, if it can POSSIBLY b done. And if, as the Colonel declares, a German victory will contain no threat to American shores, or American democracy, now is the time to get the facts which sustain that viewpoint. But having read Mein Kampf, and the testimony of Nazi leaders, and following the course of world events pretty closely, this column is convinced a Ger man conquest of Europe under Hitler would not as suage der Rcirhsfuohrcr's appetite, but simply in crease it, confirm him in his obsession that the su perior German Nordics are destined to rule the world, and set about accomplishing it. We don't doubt Colonel Lindbergh is entirely patriotic, entirely sincere, and no doubt is correct in his judgment regarding any Nazi invasion of this country by air, with 3000 miles of ocean bet-veen, it just couldn't be done. But how about infiltration and fifth columns, in BRAZIL or the Argentine, or even more serious, in MEXICO! There is nothing this department abhors more strongly than hysteria, particularly war or racial hysteria, but we can't believe that the fear of trouble, SERIOUS trouble, on his hemisphere if the allies should be beaten, and Hitler triumph, IS the product of hysteria. In fact, it is our considered judgment that this country's determination to do everything it can to de feat Hitler, short of sending another army to France, is merely facing the facts, as they are, here and abroad, and being REALISTIC, concerning them. to preserve the American Personal Health Service Bf William Bifn.e letters prrtjlntnt to persnnal health ar.4 h?(1rnt. ant ta eiseis diagnosis or treatment, trill be enavm a?

CALCIUM 15 An attorney 85 years old sol emnly states that he has had increasing gout (notwithstand ing my belief that no such 'A disease occurs in man, and arthritis in the feet, ankles and hands, at intervals for nearly twenty years, and oc- J caeion ally a Dii 01 neuritis. (Come, come, now, your honor, let the witness make up his mind about it and we'll proceed. Or, If he can't decide what ails him, per haps we can compromise and call it a misery). The court, frowning: Proceed, proceed. The witness, smiling at the doctor's quibbling: There is also a spot or two of calcium in the tissues in the back. X-ray pictures of joints show deposits of lime and the arteries also show marked calcification. In fact I have been called a "cal cium toter." However, my blood pressure is still normal. Aside from a dead tooth extracted last year, no other point of pos sible focal infection has been found. Apparently, however, the process of hoarding calcium in joints and tissues still goes on. Otherwise I am In good physical condition. What I would like to know is why I should be such a miser with calcium. Is it due to some fault in metabolism, and if so, what, and can anything be done about it? (M. C. R.) In the first place, there is no basis in physiology or pathology for the notion that calcium (lime) whether derived from calcium-rich foods, from hri water or from taking medicinal calcium-compounds, is likely to be deposited in tissues or joints. In arteries or organs. Certainly calcium has nothing to do with the tophi or deposits of mono- sodium urate (uric acid salt) in the tissues which old time doc tors misinterpreted as the cause of what they called gout. Both these mono-sodium-urate depos its, and the areas of calcifica tion or deposits of calcium in the tissues, are a comparatively unimportant consequence or ef fect of disease, not a cause of disease.

THE TISSUES I can give only my earnest opinion that the taking of an abundance of calcium in any of the forms mentioned does not contribute to hardening of the arteries, high blood pres sure, joint disease or neuritis. On the other hand it is now fairly well established that most children and adolescents get in sufficient calcium to build and maintain the best degree of health. This shortage may be due to lack of sufficient variety of the calcium rich foods in the diet milk, cheese, eggs, peas, beans, raw cabbage, lettuce, other greens, nuts, carrots, but especially enough milk, of which every young person should consume not less than a quart a day, better three pints. Or the shortage may be due to insufficient dally intake of vitamin D. which is neces ssry for the absorption, utiliza tion, retention and ultimate ex cretion of calcium.

Beverly Hills, CslU. ent street-fighter In working class districts. He was given Hitlers dag gered honor, and bfc-me a member of the fuehrer'a body-guard. A little while before Hitler came to power, he saw and decided to marry the daughter of a powerful and rich German family. The family waa one of those which had to watch the political currenta. They did not much like It. but they aocepted tha alll ar.ee. Hla wife pollened him up a bit. and he and ahe began to go out among the rich Berllners. Then Hitler becsme relchschancellor. and It waa necessary to bring the German r.ipiomatle servlr Into tha Nasi line.
