Would it be asking tha aliens too
much to urge them to practice
no discrimination against Amer
ica, and be as friendly as the
borders are reputed to be. For
Instance Nazi bunds in New Jer
sey and New York could show
their good intentions by drilling
with broom-handles, instead of
rifles.

The hate bestowed upon the

with tha current abominating of

called the ex-Kaiser many things,

and then felt like sending the
Jackal an apology.

Editorial Correspondence
Portland, June 12. When travelling in the summer avoid
rooms with .Eastern exposures. Awoke this morning with bright
sun streaming through the open window to find the watch
registered 4 :50 a. m. ! Thought the trouble was the watch, but
hotel central confirmed the time then realized It's only about
week from the longest day in the year.
Why don't' more people go on daylight saving for themselves
even though thelrbenighted community doesn't? Couldn't sleep
so arose and-sauntered up to Washington street for breakfast,
the hotel dining room not opening until 6:30. Found a cafeteria
open and breakfasted with a taxi driver, who said business is
terrible, and was further depressed by the fact he haa hay
fever. Just to make conversation asked him what weed he
thought responsible for bis ailment, and he replied promptly
it wasn't a weed but vitamin A and B deficiency. Sometimes
wonder if we aren't going a bit crazy over vitamins. There
was an active case of hay fever and the man had been taking
vitamins A and B for three weeks! What ia ao rare as a day in
June, between S and 7 o'clock in the morning 1

Perhaps his physical condition had something to do with
it, but the taxi man- is quite certain that if Roosevelt stays in
the White House another year, thia country will go straight to
hell. We have talked with quite a number of taxi drivers in our
time, and thia ia the first one who wasn't atrong for Mr. and
Mrs. P. D. R.

but no longer, a more jovial, better nourished, and prosperous
looking bunch-of men and women we have seldom seen. Why

' Why is it Medford always
thiugs here in Portland! Medford has one go'.f player in the
state amateur champ flight tourney, just completing the qual
ifying round, and here the Journal puts him in the first tcu, but
calls him George ERICKSON! Had to call up the Sporting
Editor and tell him it was George Harrington, a great kid and
if given anything like a fair break, he has at least an outside
chance to get somewhere.
Later: Have just returned from following George around 36
boles, but he certainly didn't get a fair break or any break at
all. The Calamity Jane putter that clicked so perfectly to give
him the John Perl trophy the other day, was on a sit-down
strike or something. At that George played in the TO's, but met
two opponents who played better than he did, he was beaten
in the morning by Haskell of Olympia, Wash., 3 and 2, and in
the afternoon by Eddie Beck, the same score. There was nothing
to mourn about in either case. George played a good game and
was shooting for pars all the time, but when it came to the
pinch the pill simply refused to sink.
e
. Brother Ivan had better luck, he had a poor qualifying
round, ao was shunted off into the sixth flight. Won bis first
match and benefited by a. default

matches. Mrs. George came down

It a uot surprising on this Kiverside course where the state ama
teur tournament is being held, there is everything in a horti
cultural line on the fairways but

department has contended for many years, Medford has one
of the finest golf club fairways on the Pacific Coast.
e e
.-. This man Bud Haskell, who defeated George in the first
round of the championship flight, will bear watching. He shot
a sweet two under par, while George was two over, and has in
the nth degree the proper golfing tcmperameut, takes infinite
pains with every shot and never gets excited. reminds us very
much of Johnny Goodman when, he put Bobby Jones out of the
running at Pebble Beach, and as a result got on the front
pages all over the country. Johnny is a roly poly today, but
then, like Haskell, he was slight and wiry and had a very in
triguing poker face. .
There' was some great golf played for a state amateur, a
chp by the name of Jennings, a public links champ, shot a 69
in the morning and 68 in the afternoon, really brilliant golf,
but say what you will, in golf like that Lady Luck plays a big
part, Jennings' ball was dropping into the cup from all angles
all day, he had two eagles and perhaps three. If be meets
Haskell that will be something worth seeing. Little Dick llauen
of Marshfield, well known to all Medford players, won bis first
two matches hands down. He is less nervous' than he was last
year when he made a strong stab for the Southern Oregon
championship. H. W. R.
Weygand Forces Periled by

Generalissimo Weygand's al

Insistent German turning move

encircle and destroy the main
French army.
Just how tight that spot is de
pends on how close the nail of

moment which must come to all
such great drives.

must be admitted that thus tar
those signs have been lacking

- . SHE SAW IT IN
A correspondent writes that
she learned about the value of
wheat germ.
The correspondent sayg she
decided to try
wheat germ.
On the dog. It
appears. Her
husband had
showed sugar
for years. He
also had pep
tic ulcer and
chronic con
stipation. Chronic c o n-
stipation is not
a disease, but
a bad habit.
However, vitamin B complex.
In wheat germ or in any other
form, is a great aid in correct
ing the habit. -
The lady's husband, she grate
fully report:!. Is now sugar free,
his stomach gives him very lit
tle trouble, he has gained five
pounds, and the habit is almost
cured.
All he needs now, I wot, to
complete the cure of the habit,
Is a little enlightenment on the
physiology of the alimentary
tract.
At the time the lady wrote,
her husband had been taking
about three ounces of wheat
germ daily for a period of ten
weeks. She doesn't say just
how he managed to take that
much every day and not get
fed up with it. But there are
several ways to take it, for
variety or change.
One way is to eat it as a
cereal, or mix it with any cer
eal you like. Another way is
to stir perhaps an ounce of it
(about four heaping tea spoon
fuls) in a glass of tomato juice,
orange Juice or other fruit Juice
or vegetable juice, and drink
it or eat it as a gruel. Another
way is to mix it with any fresh
fruit In season. Another way
is to incorporate it In any recipe
calling for flour, in place of
one-third or one-half of the
flour. Cooking or long heating
of course destroys some of the
vitamins In the B complex but
only n minor portion. In what
ever form you take wheat germ,
be sure .to get fresh wheat
germ it deteriorates in vita
min content on long standing,
so a fresh supply should be ob
tained within two or three
weeks after milling..
Each ounce of fresh wheat
the German high command to
surrender Paris. Apart from
other considerations, the nazi.
have been considerably concern
ed over world reaction to a de
structive siege of Paris. .
If the present temper of the
French doesn't change, this cos
mopolitan city which belongs
equally to all cultured nations
will not be surrendered until the
defenders are crushed, .
Danger of the city being de
stroyed may have been lessened
today by the action of the mili
tary governor in declaring it is
an "open city" and that the city
proper will not be defended.
Should Paris be razed, to my
mind the effect of that tragedy
will reach far beyond France.
It will sweep around the world,
and I can believe that it will
have a potent Influence on the
minds of many.
Smek Writes Symbol
The acrid smoke from explod
ing bombs and fires, which al
ready is rising from the quaint
old-world streets, is writing
across the sky a symbol of some
thing bigger than Paris or even
France. Each of us must inter
pret that for himself as his con
science directs.
For som it may mean Justice,
freedom and brotherhood of
man.
For others it may represent
the code that might is right.
That is something I can't fig
ure out excepting for myself, but
I can say that your decision and
my decision will represent for us
the spirit of this war and the
sort of social structure we want
to see grow out of It.
As the majority of the people
the world over Interpret this
symbol which arises from the
siege of Parts, so will go social
and political developments in
many lands.

that is, of utter ruin of the city
by the attackers.
Defending Paris, these "au
thorized sources" say, is Just a
foul scheme on the part of the
French to convict the Germans
of "Kulturschande" (cultural
disgrace).
IF bandits, attacking your
house and your family, put
out a story like that, would it
incline you to give up the de
fense of your home or would
it make you mad enough to
fight to the last drop of your
blood?

rON'T fall into the error of
regarding the taking of
Paris (if that should occur) as
the end of the war for France.
The war will end for France
only when the French army is
destroyed or so demoralized
that it loses its will to fight.
If it comes to a choice be
tween giving up Paris or risk
ing destruction of his army, this
writer guesses that Weygand
will give up Paris.

THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
Br JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNEP
Released by th North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Washington, June 13. As if
the news from abroad were not
sufficiently appalling, there are
now signs that serious trouble
may break cut on this side of
the Atlantic much sooner than
haa been thought. War depart
ment authorities were talking
of hemisphere defense in terms
of months not so very long ago.
They now compute the danger
in terms of weeks, or simply
say that trouble may begin to
morrow. In this country. It haa begun
already. Within tba pan fortnight
tbera have been three caaes of what
la regarded aa undoubted eabotage
In American aviation planta. In one
the po'ea bringing electric power
Unaa Into an important factory were
found eawed moat of the way
through. Id another a factory'a cen
tral power awltch had been malic
loutly damaged. And In the third an
effort had been made to block a
factory's water main. None was suc
cessful. Nona was really aerloua. So
far aa la known, none haa aa yet
been fully Investigated. For these
reasons, no great stir has been made.
Yet these Incidents should serve
to put the country on notice, aa
should the signs aforementioned In
the natlona to the southward. .These
are less tangible. Among bona fide
member, of German colonies in sev
eral countries, there haa been a tre
mendous amount of traveling and
other unexplained and unusual ac
tivity. At several polnta. notably Uruguay
and Panama, there are concentra
tion, of non-resident Germans, who
are ostensibly tourists, refugees, sail
ors or fishermen, or have similar
excuses for their presence in a for
eign country. There have been one
or two unpleasant, although possibly
quite innocent Incidents, aa when a
Chilean ahlp recently rammed the
Panama canal breakwater at Colon.
There la a conalderable division
of opinion, within the government,
aa to the weight to be given these
signs. In the state department, for
example, a faction of officiate whose
Judgment haa been excellent In the
past la Inclined to rear any present
slarm aa unjustified. Thia faction
admits the signs, but arguea that
they cannot mean much', since Ber
lin would serve no useful purpose
by provoking Immediate trouble In
thia hemisphere.
A perhapa larger group of equally
competent Judge, feela the moat
acute alarm, however. Pointing, for
example, to the "sailors." "refugees"
and the rest, they remark grimly.
"They all smell tha same and they
all come from the aame nest." These
men actually take the position that
a definite overt act. auch aa an at
tempt to sabotage tne Panama canal,
tha oil reflnertea at Aruba or some
other vulnerable point In the hemis
phere, la quit poMible within the
Immediate future. They are the ones
who say that the trouble may begin
tomorrow.
Because their opinion Is at leas,
tenable, steps have already been
taken to mlnlmljo the danger as
far aa possible. Aruba Island has
been cleared of suspicious characters
within the laat few days. Th. Dutch
have dealt firmly with the altuatlon
In Curacao, and the Knglnh author
ltlea wtth that In British Guiana.
Finally, within the past 10 days, the
war department haa conducted a
draatlc clean-up of tha Panama canal
son, and although It la Impossible
to do anything about aliens in Pan
ama City Itself, the threat to the
canal haa been reduced aa far as
poeuble at present.

Ye Poets Corner
Th Rofua
Down from the mountains with a
wild song.
Leaping and laughing, dashing
along.
Merrily dancing on to the sea
Goes the Rogue River, careless
and free.
Down through the hamlet, on
past the town,
Always he chuckles on his way
down.
Over the dam he leaps in high
glee.
Roistering, racing on to the sea.
Fishermen casting fly after fly
See him wink at them as he goes
by.
Boisterous, noisy, he's comradely
As he adventures on to the sea.
Greeting the miner with his
gold-pan.
Splashing the swimmer with heri
sun-tan.
Roguish and Joyous, happy is he. ;
Beckoning always, beckoning l
me.
Dbwn through the canyon, high
on his crest
Bearing boats he would spill for
a Jest.
Everyone loves him; "rogue"
though he be.
Racing, rollicking on to the sea.
