These be tlmei that try men'i
souls. Yesterday morning, a
radio broadcast went back to
1016, and told of how William
the Conqueror invaded Eng
land, and the issue was settled
at the Battle of Hastings. It
was a historical fact Interspersed
into the deluge of reports from
European battlefields, with
nothing much to do with what
is going on these tragic days,
though linked with Nazi threats
to do what William the Con
queror did. Vour corr. shortly
afterwards met a City Park gen
eral, who said: "She's looking
blacker. England's been in
vaded, and there having a hell
of a fight at Hastings. Just got
it over the air." The incident
shows how people roll their
own news.
"Ralph Tiede was so sick two
days last week that he could
hardly hold a pool cue in his
hand." (Miller, Mo.,' News).
Man of valor!
Wendell .Wllkle of Indiana,
who has made a frightful suc
cess as a business man, has
formally cast his headgear into
the ring, as a Republican pres
idential nominee. In political
circles, he is highly favored as
Just the white-haired boy to

Most of all the gentleman Is a
first-class orator, able to fling
a mean wisecrack with the best
New Deal mouthpiece.

Jq Legion Looks Ahead
"OREGON Legionnaires are getting ready to con-
duct their annual Beaver Boys' State on the Hill
Military Academy campus at Portland. While the
camp this year will not be held until the week of
August 3rd, the task of selecting boys for this "course
in good citizenship" is now underway.
And, as usual, Medford and southern Oregon will
be represented by a group of alert youngsters who
want to know more about the machinery of this
American democracy.
. A few openings remain, however, in the quota set
aside for southern Oregon and Medford Post 15 is
hopeful that more individual and group sponsors will
step forward before closing date for enrollment,
June 30th.
DY all means, every encouragement should be given
0 to the American Legion's commendable plan for
conducting this yearly "practical laboratory in self
government." The plan of the Boys' State is not new
its worth has been well demonstrated throughout
the nation during the past six years. In Oregon the
Beaver Boys' State has been especially noteworthy.
Likewise, Legionnaires are not employing any fifth
column hysteria in promoting the 1940 camp; they
offer it as no immediate panacea for our problem of
coping with subversive elements which bore like ter
mites at the foundation of this government.
On the other hand, this
gram is certain to make
good, sound American government in the trying years
ahead. It is no trite phrase to say that the hope of
democracy DOES rest in the hands of today's youth.
IT seems to us that the Legion's Boys' State plan
teaching the fundamentals and some of the intri
cacies of good government to those who will have the
responsibilities of governing in years to come is one
of the most sensible methods of combating the two
great menaces of successful democracy IONOK
ANCE and INDIFFERENCE.
Within this camp the youngsters are given the op
portunity of forming and
ernments patterned after
state, under the guidance of trained leaders. Indi
vidual initiative, freedom of thought and expression
are stressed. They learn the advantages of self-government
by actually governing themselves.
IN this fast-changing world it is difficult to evaluate
all of the new theories we may be asked to accept.
Some of them will be necessary and sound, others
will be dangerous to the very life of this nation.
Here is where the Legion's Boys' State comes in 1
It seeks to provide the RIGHT type of leaders for
America in years to come leaders who will meet in
evitable readjustments with sane, clear thinking and
will not yield, change or compromise the basic prin
ciples of this democracy.
THEY will steer the ship of state while a new
world is shaping itself. The sea will be a perilous
one and, like the captain who must vary his course
with changing wind and weather, these new leaders
must change from traditional views and methods
without missing sight of this goal a free, democratic
America.
Educate for democracy that is the Legion's plan
and it is a good one.
Whole-hearted support should be given to this
sound, workable plan of making this nation more
secure in years to come. H. G.

I' : li
Portland, Oregon, June 13. The Riverside golf club is on
the banks of the Columbia northeast of Portland, where once
there was a nice soft and smelly marsh. With a car one can
make it from 4th and Stark in Portland in about twenty min
utes, but haviug no car, it took us over an hour to get there.
First a Sandy Bus to 33d street where there was over a half hour
wait, then down to the river district by another bus, followed
by a walk of 2 or 3 miles, (or so it seemed) pretty good
"work-out." before one reached the club house! After walking
around 36 holes in tight, slippery street shoes, ye editor was

In the course of events, met up with another "senior golfer"
and dated him for the return trip as far as the bus line. The
trip was made in an old Auburn car, whose speedometer showed
exactlv 94.563 miles to date, and' had never been out of the
hands of the present owner! He finally took us all the way
to Broadway where we caught a Sandy bus after considerable
semaphoring. Apparently the Saudy buses have their eyes on
higher things than stopping for pedestrians within the con
fines of the city itself. Which only goo to show one should
never travel without the old family chariot.
En route our senior friend picked up his wife, at bis Alameda
home, explaining that she wanted to do some shopping for
the evening meal, and therefore he emild kill two birds with

Tests made by the health au
thorities in a town In Ontario,
Canada, showed colon bacilli,
streptococci and diphtheroid
bacilli present on spoons, forks,
tumblers and the like in use in
18 places where foods and
drinks were dispensed. Nine out
of 10 such utensils were found
so infected even after they had
been washed and made ready
for use. The health authorities
conducting the testa concluded
that more than half of the res
taurants or beverage dispensing
places were not properly ster
ilizing the utensile or satisfac
torily cleaning them before
sterilization.
Accordingly the health au
thorities recommended the use
of a solution of chlorine, 100
parts per million parts Of water,
for rinsing utensils after the
ordinary soap and water wash
ing. They also recommended in
stallation of double sinks where
these were lacking. Several
months later they made the
same bacteriological tests, and
this time the utensils were
found practically free from
germs.
This Investigation seems to
show that the minimum require
ment for every place where
food and drinks are dispensed
to the public are, first, washing
of all utensils with soap and
hot water, second, drying with
out use of hand towels, third,
rinsing In a weak chlorine solu
tion, and fourth, double sinks.
The Canadian Investigation
showed convincingly that the
practice, frequently seen in eat
ing and drinking places during
a rush of business, of dipping
unwashed glasses or other uten
sils in chlorine solution or other
disinfectant without previous
soap and water washing, is a
dangerous one so far as the pub
lic safety is concerned.

THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KIMTNER
Released by the North
American Newspaper
JUllasco. Inc.
Washington, June 14 Among
many high-ranking war depart
ment officials there is a strong
belief that congress should en
act some sort of compulsory
military training. This country,
except in war periods, has never
used a draft system to fill up
the army's ranks, and army men
are naturally reluctant to ex
press themselves publicly. But
there can be no doubt of a gen
eral feeling at the department
that congress should act, and act
before adjournment.
Tho war department reasons are
extremely matter-of-fact. For the
past six weeks the army haa been
trying to enlist 15.000 men. and only
S 000 have been recruited. With tbe
regular forosa about to be Increased
by 100.000 to 400.000 men, some eon
of compulsion may be necessary.
Meanwhile, the war department baa
elaborate plana, made In coopera
tion with the governors of the forty
eight states, to bolster up Its re
cruiting through the aid of state and
local committees.
Then too. tt Is no great eecret that.
In the event of an Increasingly prob
able German victory, tbe war de
partment envisions a regular army
of 790.000 men, with 3.500.000 of
trained reserves. It Is obviously Im
possible to create such an armed
force In a relatively short ttce with
out conscription. As one official
closely in touch with the European
war put It: "we might aa well make
up our mlnda that we need about
three million excellently trained
men. The sooner we start the train
ing the better. This la obviously an
emergency period. Six months msy
make tha difference."
War depsrtmont offlclsls have two
plana for compulsory peacetime con
scription. Both are based on the prin
ciple that 90.000 men should be
added each montb for a period' of
six montba. and 79.000 a montb
thereafter. With Its present officers.
the army cannot efficiently train
more than 90.000 new men a month.
Both plana would require a one-year
enlistment period, with the objective
of building up a regular army of
790.000 and an ultimate goal of 3.-
900.000 reserves.
Every male In the country who la
now a I years of age would be sub
ject to drart, under the first plan.
From thta group of 31-year-olds,
numbering about 1.100.000. approxi
mately 900.000 would be selected for
training with exemptions for those
not physically fit. Under the second
plan, the eligible list would Include
all men between the ages of 31 and
30. A lottery aystem. aimllar to that
used In the first world war. would
be used to select 900.000 men as the
first group to be trained. Exemptions
would be tha same aa In the last
war physical unfitness, family de
pendency, key Industrial positions
snd so on.
War department offlelala advoca
ting the first plsn. while agreeing
that the selection of aU males who
sre now 31 yesrs old Is arbitrary, con
tend that only on that basis csn
tha country develop a plsn for uni
versal military training, tta obvious
disadvantage would be the reluctance
of congress to Umlt the training to
thst sge group.
Long ego the war department aet
up nationwide machinery for a draft
system In case thta country went to
war. It centers in the offices of tbe
adjutant general of each atate. and
branches out In local committees In
avery county In America. If the presi
dent spproves the war department Is
ready to adapt this machinery to
speed up Its recruiting.
Tbe governor of each state would
be e&ked to urge publicly the neces
sity of volunteering, and these proc
lamations would set In motion coun
ty committees who would canvas
uieir territories for enlistments.
While It Is obviously true thst
European events of the last few
weeks have produced a great change
In sentiment In the country, the ad
ministration la apparently not yet
willing to sponsor compulsory mili
tary training. As of this writing land
policy Is on a day-to-day basis), a
three-point program for further Im
provement In our military establish
ment Is being developed, under tha
lesdershlp of the sble Senator James
P. Byrnes, of South Carolina. Involv
ing an expenditure of 79.000.000. the
plan Includes: .
I. Another expansion of the en
listed reserre of both the army and
navy.
3 Tripling the citizens military

. Increased voeauona! education
tn CCC campa in city schools and
under the national youth admlnla
tration to train mechanics, electric
lane and other skilled workmen who
some day would be useful to the
army.
Whether the program wiu go be
yond this seema dependent on
whether or not congress stays tn ses
sion If tbe session Is prolonged and
if the Germane continue tbelr tie
tory march, it would not be a bad
bet thst something more would be
done.

ANOTHER bombshell bursts:
Turkey signs new com
mercial agreement with Ger
many providing for exchange of
certain products to the extent of
21,000,000 Turkish pounds. It is
announced as the result of
"months of negotiation between
the Turkish government and
Franz von Papen, German am
bassador to Turkey."
Presumably Russia had a fin
ger in the pie.
I
WHAT does it mean?
This writer doesn't know
and doubts if anyone outside the
inner diplomatic circles knows.
But it proves again (as history
has so amply proved before) that
when war shakes Europe to ita
foundations it s EVERY MAN
FOR HIMSELF.
THE Jap-controlled "Chinese
" central government" at Nan
king demands withdrawal of all
troops, warships and armed
forces of European belligerents
in China. The demand cites that
the British, the French and the
Italians all have armed forces In
China, which may "result in
armed conflict developing to setv,
ious proportions."
It is also a good excuse to
kick everybody else out of
China, which is the real reason
for the demand.
RflORAL:
If you want to BE SOME
BODY among the nations, make
yourself so big and strong that
all the other nations will fear
you with a great fear.
Never mind about being ad
mired or respected that doesn't
count in International relations.
"THE stock market, when the
allied cause first began to
look definitely bad, went to
pieces. Now. with the news
much worse, it stages recoveries.
The reason if any:
Recovery from the first and
worst hysteria and hope that the
American preparedness program
will result in better business
and more profits.
THIS writer hopes greatly that
1 In the days that are coming
American business won't seek to
make BIG profits. Abnormal
profits, as we learned to our cost
in the last war. merely start a
vicious upward cycle that end
in inflation.
The lower the price (allowing
reasonable profit) the more can
be had for the monev available
MORE OF EVERYTHING 1
what we arc going to need.
