MiusilF'"'- Ye Smudge Pot Bj ARTIIIR PERBT A number of citizens have re turned from the Oregon coast, and report they found no more clams in the clam chowder there, than at home. . A Chicago psychologist, dis cussing the national hyiterlci over "Fifth Columnists," fears If the tantrums keep up. It will lead to the establishment of con centration camps, and a general round-up of half-baked, and not baked at all, elements. The pro fessor fears, unless care is exer cised, toe milch hell will be raised with the hellraisers, of which there are a frightful sur plus. A bill before Congress pro poses non-combatant military training for CCC enrollees. Seven years ago this same prop osition was advanced, and hor rified pacifists from coast to coast, and half way back again. A shovel handle then looked too much like a rifle barrel. No later than last Christmas, parents were urged not to buy tin soldiers for their kids, as it would make them war-minded. It's different now. A WAIL AND A VOW (Star-Democrat) . "The party is not in such serious straits. There is only necessary a restatement of Is sues, a sort of political revival and strict allegiance to time honored principles. We know our Democratic party. We have suffered defeat and we have enjoyed victory. But, by the eternal, we are going to stay at the helm." While playing ball with his wife, a comedian was hit in the head, and suffered paralysis of the face. It has not yet been revealed what the lady was throwing at. "Thereupon the cabinet mem bers, according to this friend, fled to a safe place (Paris) and from there "threw mud at their sovereign after taking the Bel glan treasury " with them." (Press Dispatch). Leaving the King broke, and the invading! Nazis with no Belgian money to count.' Nearly every days news from Italy reports Italian "students" yelling "Down with the Allies." being chased away from the British embassy by the Rome police. They do it so often, they have no time, it would seem, to do their arithmetic. In all probability more pool games than study periods are inter rupted, by the "students." "I Hathaway is down from his sheep ranch in McDonald canyon. Ike lost 2000 out of 3800 head last winter and feels discouraged." (Pendleton Eat Oregonian pioneer items). There's some excuse for it! Horticulturists and the Older Girls are busy thinning. There is some speculation, among the more hopeful, as to what the world will do when the current war is over, about beating "cannon into plough shares." Including the one in the city park, which outside of pointing menacingly at a gas silo, serves as a roosting place for dressy youths, to displsy their collegiate socks. More Typhus. Montgomery. Ala. U.r9 Al abama's "typhus fever belt" now embraces 41 of the state's 87 counties, greatest number In state history. Only 19 coun ties reported any cases of the fever the first year of the "belt," 1929. Have We Gone Soft? "The tragic ordeal through is passing was prepared in the long period of easy liberty during which men . . . forgot that their freedom was achieved by heroic sacrifice . . . they forgot that their rights were founded on their duties . . . they thought it clever to be cynical, and enlightened to be unbelieving, and sensible to be soft . . . "Walter Lippmann. THAT comes from the man we regard as the fore- most news and political commentator in the United JStates, and the nearest approach we have to a na tional prophet. We are sure those who have read Mr. Lippmann regularly, not only since World War No. 2 started, but for months before, will agree that in every important particular his diagnoses and predictions have been about 100 right We have not agreed with him po litically very often, but we have given up being skepti cal of his forecasts, for in the realm of analysis and diagnosis, subsequent events have convinced us the man is a genius.

M W . . w V..V ..W.W Ww.l... ,, .MV V. ........ observation, this department would not be disposed to question it. - But there is abundant evidence, clear to anyone who cares to review the recent history of the "West ern World" that "we the people" or at least far too many of us, have forgotten the sacrifices that were needed to establish this free democracy, the necessity of performing certain duties, willingly and promptly, to maintain it, and the obligation in time of crisis to sustain and defend what our forefathers, at such a great sacrifice, finally won. A ND HERE, at our very doors today, we have added evidence of the truth cftntral and contemporary than what has recently been going on at the local Chamber of Commerce. A few days ago, President Roosevelt asked for the authority to call out the national guard, in case of sudden emergency, and in this request he was sup ported by General Marshall, chief-of-staff. As a result of this action, officers of the local National Guard issued an appeal for recruits, so the local company might be brought up to normal strength. For nearly two weeks now this appeal has beerr supported by a great deal of publicity, news paper, radio, movie and otherwise, but to date there has been literally no response. What is the answer? From the standpoint of not only local but national defense there is no question of the need. Nor can there be any question that the need is generally known in this community. Why then have no young men, or only one, come forward? If the answer doesn't lie in that quota tion from Walter Lippmann, then where does it lie? This much at least is certain, as we see it If, in a supreme crisis, we the people don't CARE ENOUGH about democracy to FIGHT, and if NEED be, die for it, we HAVE it! Are We WELL perhaps it's all over but the shouting and the Mavifl 11111 tab a Pnri'a as flranv trvnlr PiVtnnnl But somehow this department has its "dou'ts." And while there is yet time, we might as well enjoy them. VESi we can't help but think of a couple of familiar adages pretty well sustained by human experi ence, to-. vit: "pride ;;oeth before a fall," and "there is many a slip between the cup and the lip." Also there is that time, quarter of a century ago to Kaiser" and his legions proclaimed they were going to celebrate Christmas Day in Paris, and instead of that spent it rather dangerously and uncomfortably in the cold and muddy trenches many miles away ! e e e e FINALLY, there is ""expert AW V.JV W VIIIIVIl U VUVVIII HI VI HV IIUU been considerably less than one-half-of-one-percent.

The Berlin High Command didn't announce in advance what they were going to do to Poland, Norway, Holland or the Channel ports. In fact, they were very cagey about it, they crashed in without any predictions as to this or that, and staged no celebrations until there was something to celebrate. But now, with the latest Blitzkrieg only 24 hours old they proclaim that in no more than two weeks, very likely one, they will be goose stepping down the "Champs Elvsce," and under the "Arc de Triumph." "All right! All right!" as the Colonel might remark. Nevertheless, we are going to risk all we can bor row and this department's reputation for being psy chic, that it never comes to pass. Or at least not in one week, two, or a dozen of them. In fact, we are just as certain as we can be of what can't be, that this going to slip!! To Place Cornerstone Portland, June 1? Dt. John E.

William Brsd, tea CI Camlno. Beverly Hilts. Calif. STOCKINGS According to a news Item like. that humdinger reporting that a sheriff photographed the mur der victims retina or something and found the image of the murderer rec orded there a medical wo man (I'm sorry H.'s' Vl to note) has just published a warning to members o f her sex against wearing sheer one-thread or two -thread silk stockings, as this near-nudity, in her opin ion, is certain to bring on arthri tis. By way of preserving a strict ly "scientific" attitude the doc tress carefully calls it arthritis, not rheumatiz. Apparently she fears some silly members of the sex may still discount the haz ards of leg art, for she offers an alternative plan in case a girl has to exploit it to distract at tention from her dearth of na tural charm, and that is to wear substantial cotton stockings in Inclement weather, with silk ones over 'em if cotton is not flashy enough. Buried somewhere in my files are full page announcements, published in the snootiest medi cal journals by the interests, of the importance of wearing warm long-legged underwear, especially in the spring, fall and winter, and quoting a number of quaint medical authorities who opined that the scantiness of at tire affected by young women was likely to bring on pneumon ia, bronchial trouble, tubercu losis, rheumatism and other mal adies. While the educational campaign was running it was velvet for the medical journals, but only the old ladies and the holy frights ever gave the warn ing a second thought. Girls with legs continued operating on the principle that them as has 'em shows 'em. As a physician I am a fairly good bowler, but take it as you will, I must say that the tradi tional theories and beliefs and the present practice of a consid erable majority of regular phy sicians in reference to the In fluence of exposure to cold dampness, drafts and sudden changes upon health and illness are illogical and absurd. As long as the fustian practioner ad heres to his or her quaint no tions in stupid defiance of the overwhelming weight of scien tific knowledge and universal experience, preventable respira tory infections will continue to cause most of the illness physi cians attend. With so much en couragement from doctors peo ple coming down with any such illness will continue to spread the infection indiscriminately until the illness compels them to take to bed. Notwithstanding the pseudo- scientific malarkey propagated by physicians and health author ities regarding "the common cold" an apocryphal disease which nobody dares to define it is worthy of note that no phy sician or health authority has the temerity to offer "cold" as a diagnosis for any official rec ord. Whenever a doctor pur ports to say that a patient has "lust a heavy cold" you may take it as certain that he means either he doesn't know as yet what ails the patient or if he does know it is for your good that he keeps the knowledge to himself.

Hitler sends his armies against the Somme-Aisne front, driving at Paris. His purpose is to crush the French army and bring France to her knees. After that (he hopes) he will turn upon Britain. -4 A DDRESSING his soldiers be " fore the battle (as Napoleon was accustomed to do) Hitler says: "Our tafk is to teach a his toric lesson to the Allies and to speed the bloom of a new and better world."

That is intended as France's answer to the German divide and conquer" plan. IN London, Churchill addresses the commons, employing blunt words. He says: "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We. shall fight on the beaches, the landing grounds. In the fields, In the streets and on the hills. "We shall NEVER SUR RENDER." THEN he adds: "And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and GUARDED BY THE BRITISH FLEET, will carry on its struggle until in God's good time. the New World, with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation of the old. WHAT he is saying Is that if wnrso fr-ms; tit wnrt t ENGLAND WILL BE ABAN DONED and the British fleet will retire to the outposts of the empire (Canada, presum ably, by his reference to the New World) and from there the fight will be carried on. . That is the answer to the fears, American and otherwise, that the British fleet might be surrendered to Hitler to save England. These are bin days, with much history in the making. LJERE is a possible new straw in the wind: Soviet Russian circles In Lon don said today (Wednesday) that Russia views her interests In the Black Sea and the east ern Mediterranean as PAR ALLEL with those of the Allies. That suggestion is probably addressed to Mussolini. What it means is hard to say. No one can be very sure what Russia means at any time. IRISH REPUBLICANS RIOT IN DETENTION Cork, Irish Free State.
