For a Happier Fourth THURSDAY Will be Independence Day And in tvnipallv Ampripan fashion, the. ffood people of this community jalopies and head for Ashland's fine celebration or for the lakes and mountains of this scenic wonder land. With the rise and fall of many and varied gov ernments it is heartening to know that our American democracy is the most enduring of them all. Just 164 years ago Thursday this nation was born American freedom was achieved basis with our fellow men ; hearts dictate : freedom to just so long as our words upon the just rights of fellow citizens. Liberty Security Opportunity A voice in our own government Such heritages as these SHOULD be cherished they are priceless! Knowledge that they are OURS is ample cause for celebrating. So, let us CELEBRATE, this Thursday but, by all means, let us do it safely and sensibly. IT IS unfortunate that Independence Day festivities too frequently exceed the bounds of common sense. A glance at the records of the National Safety Council will tell a sorry story. Last July 8,800 people were killed in accidents in the United States twice as many as died in the Revolutionary war. It is an ironic fact that a large portion of this tragic toll came from the celebration of the independence gained in that war. Senseless and needless? Most assuredly sol SAFETY is, after all, both Medford's own Traffic Safety Council, have joined the nation-wide campaign. safety education, engineering and enforcement have been steadily reducing the grim toll of deaths on highways and streets. Correspondingly aggressive steps have been taken to curb other accident causes. Added caution a sense of personal responsi bilityon the part of every man, woman and child will enable EVERYONE to return home safelv after the Fourth of July celebration. so, in the hope of stimulating "safety conscious ness" in the people of THIS community, we offer these brief holiday reminders 1. Drive moderately, start in plenty of time so speed or take chances. 2. Don't overdo in exercise, eatine or exposure to sun. 3. If you go swimming, don't go alone or when overheated. Wait an hour after eating; know the depth of the water; don't show off or indulge in horseplay. 4. If you go camping, be careful of fire I Enjoy the forests but don't endanger them by your care lessness. "THERE is only one kind of safe fireworks and that is the kind you stay away from". This is the solemn admonition of the Fireworks SHOULD displays, handled by expert are dangerous in the hands oldsters. We have .so many neighbors who are sorely in need why not give the firecracker fund to the Red Cross this year? C" VENTS of recent months have sobered every think " ing person. Indifference of the past has given way to a new appreciation of American citizenship. Consideration for the basic American principle; of good citizenship. So, when celebrating this Fourth of July, have consideration for the other fellow on the highway. Take added precautions for and yourself. The HAPPIEST Fourth will be a SAFE and SANE Fourth ! H. G. Russian Move in Balkans Puts Hitler in Bad Spot; Full Designs Kept Hidden By DeWItt Macksniie. The Russian adventure in the Balkans holds more potential ities than a schoolboy's pockets Communist Chieftain Stalin continues to play his cards close to his chest and thus fir nas concealed the full nitiire of his hand. Whatever way you look at It, however, his move apparently is Inimical to Ger man Interests and he has Herr Hitler on an embarrassing spot in view of the Impeding Ger man assault on England It Is quite clear thnt the shrewd Muscovite is running counter to nazidom In at least three ways. He Is Jeopardizing Its all-important Balkan war and food supplies. Ho is In vading a peninsula which Ger many long has regarded .19 her special preserve.

At the moment, however, Hitler Is striving to maintain peace. He doesn't want trouble with Russia while he is attempting to crush and dismember the British empire. Also, it is vi tal that he protect his Balkan supplies by preventing a gen eral upheaval there if possible.

NOT GENUINE Even today there is a limit beyond which a, woman dare I not go in matters of dress and j makeup lest she become an J object of ridi cule. After all. perso n a I ap pearance and personal man ners, pleasing voice and dic tion are not quite suffic ient testa of ref i n e m e n t and culture. Taste is indis penslble. A woman of 50 who has contrived, or perhaps Just had the good fortune, to retain more than the average degree of grace and charm (vite Is the word for it), mentioned that although she had never devoted much time to brushing her teeth she had always visited her den tist regularly for periodic In spection, treatment and polish ing. She couldn't understand why some women went about with teeth darkened and stain ed for want of proper dental care. In the same breath this wo man, whose good looking teeth contributed considerably to her p. a., remarked that only a year ago she had lost a wisdom tooth and a second molar which the dentist had deemed too far damaged from infected old root fillings, to keep in the Jaw. Oh, no, she hadn't felt it necessary to have any artificial dentures installed to fill the vacancies and carry on the functions of the missing teeth. The dentist tried to persuade her to do so. but she was sure the loss would never show, for they were only back teeth . . . Now in casual conversation you can't be too didactic, es pecially when your opinion or advice has not been sought. You may manage to cite the rule that one must deduct two years from one's expectation of life for every tooth lost by disease or accident and not promptly replaced by a functionally effic ient denture of one kind of an other. Even at fifty a man or woman who still has fair health pays litle heed to such gener alities they apply to other folks, perhaps, but hardly to the Individual under considera tion. Not long afterward the same charming woman, chatting with some friends, at the club, sym pathized with one of them who had fractured an upper Incisor in an accident, said it was lucky In the matter of peace which we have been hearing so much about, while I am not digest ing that it is likely, it does seem like a safe hot that Hit ler must have at least paused to consider offering England some sort of terms in view of the Russian development. Should the Bolshevist threat become more grave, it would not cause overwhelming sur prise if he did indeed say to British Premier Churchill: 'You keep what you have apd I'll keep mine." The fuehrer cculd afford such an offer, and it might be tantalizing, though England would be asking for trouble if she accepted. Anyway, Anglo-German de velopments will depend in no small degree on what Russia has up her sleeve. This inva sion of Bessarabia and nortnem Bucovina of course cuts a lot deeper than a racial question and the return to Russia ot land which she formerly held. Long Russian Dream. For generations Russia has dreamed of driving a path down the Balkan peninsula to Constantinople, to secure con trot of the Dardanelles and thus dominate this whole srea of the eastern Mediterranean. Peter the Great was o:ic of those fostering this idea, hut it wasn't until 1812 that trio Rus sians made real headway In their program. Prior to that they had forced their way southward until they had reached the great Dniester river, which according te Ru manian tradition God h.id Trac ed as a boundary between Ru mania and Poland. But the Russians had no thought of stopping at the Dniester, which formed the northern boundary of Bessarabia. They wanted to get through to the ritvr Prut southern boundary of the prov ince.

Brady. M. D. the whole tooth had not been lost, for probably the dentieti could install a porcelain facing or something which would be indistinguishable from the nor mal teeth. She herself had lost two back teeth a year or two ago, but as the spaces did not show she had not bothered to have bridges made. She had heard that some dentists can install peg teeth to fill spaces without disturbing teeth on either side of the space, teeth built on some kind of metal posts or pegs which are literally screwed into the Jaw bone. Yes, indeed, another woman here remarked, a peg tootn solves the problem In some cases where a single tooth is lost. She had a friend whose dentist installed peg tooth to replace a lower incisor two years ago and it has proved quite satisfactory. The dentist who installed it advised that peg teeth are used more for appearance than for efficiency and that he would not attempt to insert one in place of a back tooth where the chief strain of mastication is borne.

THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KXNTNEP Ralaaiad by lha North Amsrican N swaps par Allisnca. Inc. Washington, July 2. In Eu rope the final disaster perhaps impend. Yet now the Repub licans have picked their man, the chief talk of Washington is whether the President will accept Wendell Wlllkic's chal lenge to run again, or will depu tize the task to one of the lesser men of his party. Tha BTidencs pro and con Is In describably confuasd. both by tha president's varying mooda and by ths winds of rumor. What may tn tha end provs the deciding factor, how svsr. la an undoubted fact: Just now. at lean, tha president Is a tired man. Hta exhaustion has si ready sdded aavarsl rurloua ctrcumatancc to tha incident of Colonel Frank Knoi appointment to ba secretary of tha navy. It la not lmpossibls It win hsvs mors Important reaulta later. It wtll ba rtmembsred how tha Republican Jitters orer Colonsl Knot's acceptance of tha nary post rrava rise to a flood of reports thst the president would not seek a third term. It tu widely ssid Knox would not hsvs taken tha Job without a commitment to this effect. Tha truth la that when Colon) Knox saw tha president, ha aakad for no such commitment. Inatvad, bs mads his entry mto tha cabinet con ditional only on tha simultaneous appointment of another IVpubllcan. thus producir a res) coalition. Thla condition ia met when Henry U Stlmaon was sked to head tha war department, whtrn tha president probsbly intended to do In sny ess. Knox, being snxlous to terra his country, then sccapted ths presi dent's offer. While talking to Knox, however, the president remarked that he doubted whether he could bear up I under another four vears In tha ; White House. While eoneidertnst what to do. Knoa consulted Air M tan jdoo. M Creagrr of Tesaa and a jnumher of other Rep'jb'l.-an leadera. All of Ihrm told Knos that the prMlcWnt vms tulnf htm far a stalk ing bone tor tb third term. In nplr. Knot gave It as his penonal opinion that the president did not vsnt a third una, and pinnl on tha aubatane of Um preatdenta ra mark. Trtua tha rumors, which auc (veratad an tspraaaton of fealtng into a posiure statement. Tha fact remains thst tha pres ident Is really tired, and therefore cannot took forward to each day's work with quit hta old asst. If he did, ha would bs superhuman. In the ft rat place, during the early atagea of the world crista this spring, he had to oops with many brusquely presented problems while suffering from a series of minor but exhaust ing Illnesses. In the second place. Washington has lately become tha meoca of literally thousands of well intentioned Mr. Plxlta. many of them Important enough to make heavy calls on ths president's time to pre sent plans for Improved national de fense, offers of cooperation end the like. Siznultsneousty he hss had to carry a vastly Increased burden of serious work. Being tired, tha president must certainly feel a strong return of his old unwillingness to run sgsln. Bo fa. as your correspondents can dis cover, not ons man or woman who sees tha president often and is In a position to Judge hta mind has ever supposed thst If ha consulted his purely personal Inclinations he would seek a third term. Before the war. the objective of the third term movement, as Is now acknowledged by tu lesders, wss to give the president power to dictate a Democratic nominee of new deal type. It wss only when the war broke out thst the third termers began to hope they could put the president himself in nomination, de spite their previous talk for the rec ord to the contrary. And It was only this spring, when tha war crisis became acuta, thst they began to feel sure their hopes would not be disappointed. The pres ident hsd come more and more to think, rightly or wrongly, that he could not be certain of the election of any other man who would carry on. the policies he thought vital. The fact of the president's being tired, with Its inevitable accompany ins; reluctance to carry on with a killing Job, is one new element in the situation. The other, and per haps the more significant, Is the Re publicans' nomlnstion of Wendell Willkie. If they had chosen Senator Robert A. Taft, committed aa he fin ally wae to a sort of American ap peasement program, tha president would unquestionably have taken the plunge. But Willkie la quite & different matter. Not only la he likely to prove the kind of opponent no tired man would want to face. He la also com mitted to precisely the same pollclea thought vital by the president. Aa so many people sre Interested In so many ways In the president's re election, he will undoubtedly be urged to "save the country from Willkie" on grounds other than the acuteneas of the world situation. The foolish charge that Willkie la a sort of pro to-fascist la already going ths rounds. But now. despite the equally foolish suggestion thst he will be a quitter If he does not take W mile's dare, the president may possibly de cide that he haa had enough. It must be sdded thst If he reaches such a decision, enforcing his wishes will be difficult, for the Democratic convention will care far more for victory than the third term Issue. Ons of the wisest moderate conserv ative Democrats said today, "He can only get out of It on grounds of health." AT THE National Capitol WITH John W. Kelly CONTINUED PROM PAOI OXX only a tradition; there Is noth ing prohibiting a third or fourth term in the constitution. The assumption by Alfred Landon that appointment of Colonel Knox as secretary of the navy, and Henry Stimson as secretary of war, both Re publicans, means Mr. Roosevelt will not seek third term, is not taken seriously by anyone. Colonel Knox and Colonel Stim son would not assume duties involving so manv millions of dollars and responsibilities for a matter of six months, and the present tenure of Mr. Roosevelt expires next January. ... PRESENT plans are for ths senate committee on naval affairs and on military affaire to give Knox and Stlmaon the third degree thla week. If these gentlemen can conveniently appear.

' In The By Frank Jenkins COR the moment, western Eu- rope is out of the limelight. The world's interest is centered on the Balkans (as has been the case so often before in his tory.) RUSSIA, moving with great x haste, presents an ultima tum to Rumania, demanding Bessarabia and part of Buco vina, along with command of the Black Sea mouth of the Danube, the great river whose i traffic feeds most of centra! i Europe, including Germany. Rumania, more or less help- : less, submits to the demand. The Russians, moving in to oc cupy the hastily-ceded territory, OVERSHOOT THE MARK, moving some 15 or 20 miles on into the part of Rumania NOT AGREED TO BE CEDED. i Whereupon, Hungary, Ru mania's western neighbor, be gins mobilizing on the Ruma nian frontier. There the situation rests this (Monday) morning. "THIS is thTliiiTquestion: Is Stalin merely continuing his policy of picking up all the loot lying around loose, or is some kind of deal on to threat en Germany's back door? Germany fears an attack on two fronts more than anytihng else, and all her strategy so far (both military and diplo matic) has been directed to ward preventing such a devel opment. LIUNGARY is supposed to have some sort of German and Italian backing In her an nounced intention to fight if Russia goes any deeper into Rumania. If that is true.

Presi dent Roosevelt announce! this (Monday) morning that he will Immediately submit to congress a recommendation for an excess profits tax. If an excess profits tBX will PREVENT EXCESS PROFITS, it will be sound. We want no abnormal profits in the present emergency. Abnormal profits arising out of war will merely start costs spiraling upward, thus upsetting the structure of industrial efficiency. We need all the efficiency we can get.
