There should at least be as many service clubs as service stations, within the corporate limits. Virginlo Gayda, the favorite scribbler of II Duce, has himself a job, and, now announces the world need not look for a speedy invasion of Great Brit ain. He, however, slips in a puff for Messrs. Hitler and Mus solini. It is Virglnlo's daily stunt to keep the Italian masses exuberant with national pride, while in constant danger of one or both, of his dictator masters. making him the victim of a personal blitzrieg, because they don't like the looks of the com ma, in the third sentence of the fifth paragraph. He has sank the mightiest of English battle ships times without number and nailed the pelt of the Brit ish lion to the editorial door. He has dropped his typewriter on Gibraltar so many times, It should be by now, nothing but an abandoned gravel pit. ...

Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Adi is 1.30 p. m. Vat MtU In d mis waut 0s. Editorial Correspondence Victoria, B. C, July 30th The woods in Canada are full of movie start. Just ran into Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morgan and daughter. Might have had disastrous result for Mrs. Morgan is on crutches with one leg in a leather boot, and a spill for her might have been serious. As it was we only knocked over the nephew, and hi two for a dollar camera but got a look from the usually amiable Frank, we shall not recall with pleasure. Sorry the collision couldn't have happened at Banff with Mickey Rooney who was there with hi manager, body guard and :J000 silver plated golf club. Mickey and our "young man" we are quite sure, would have found some amicable adjustment they have much in common and we are not at all sure Mickey and hi body guard would have gotten the best of it. We learn from the papers the Frank Morgan have been on a yachting and fishing trip up the coast, are leaving this evening for Hollywood via Seattle, turning over the yacht to Mr. and Mr. Spencer Tracy. Isn't turning over a yacht to a friend rather like turning over a house with 30 servant, a turquoise swimming tank and ten-oar garage, nothing to do of course except to take care of the OVERHEAD! Later: On C. P. R. Princes Margarette en route to Seattle First clear evening for almost a week, and extremely cool, so much so few people brave the winds on deck, but crowd inside and listen to a four-piece orchestra play all the poptilur hit about 3 degrees off the key. There ara about 90 Chinese aboard, from the BIO Empress liner which docks at Vancouver. They seem to like the music, should think THEY would ! Many signs on the main street of Victoria suggesting that the loyal citizen aid their empire by investing in a few Canada war savings certificate. The Dionne quint it seems have invested 500 epiewe, which is the maximum allowed any individual. Last night coming over on the boat from Vancouver a company of Scotch Highlander were making merry after a six weeks training period somewhere in the north. A finer, fitter body of young men we have never seen, husky strong limbed and erect, pink cheeked, full of animal spirits. Several rosy cheeked Scotch lassies were hovering around before the boat departed, there wa much merry making, hunter and some impromptu dancing (please page that famous Scotch sword dancer of Oriffin Creek !) When the boat docked at Victoria at seven in the morning, the "ladie of hell" were off first and drew up at attention as a visiting officer reviewed them. They certainly looked as though they could whip their weight in wild cats, the trouble about modern war seems there are no wild cats to fight one lias to fight only cold metal and senseless, BLOODLESS machines! The boat was late leaving Victoria, the reason being, more care in U. S. immigration regulations. Having been warned in advance, secured a birth certificate when in Kockford, which shot us through without a hitch. The man behind u with wife and sou had no such luck. He had a Kivrani card, driver's license and various business cards, which the customs inspector icily observed didn't show he was an American citizen necessarily. The longer the inspector talked the more excited and distressed the poor man became, until he introduced the woman accompany him as his duimliter (when she was his wife, and looked it) and couldn't recall his son' place of residence, until the son came to his rescue. Have seldom seen a mature person more completely flabbcrgusted, it being quite obvious the customs inspector was taking a malicious delight in it. Finally the man produced a membership card in the American Medical Association (he was a doctor from a little town in Ohio) and that ended the ordeal, though certainly more aliens belong to that organization than to Kiwanis, but we have an idea the customs official decided he had pestered the poor man enough. a Deliciously cool in Seattle, which always impresses us as an active and enterprising place, If. - J !.. !. iuer a guou iiigius sieep, nau a coupio oi nours uciore our train left during which friends motored us out to the new pontoon bridge across Lake Washington just why the pon toons, we were unable to find out. It's another big government project and cuts 17 miles off the motor route lo Spokane, or something like that. It was nice to see the Oregonian again on the hotel news stand. The young man was much shocked wheu we took one and left a Canadian five cent piece to pay for it, he now being an expert iu the rate of currency exchange between the l S. A. and the Dominions, maintaining we owed the news nmn tvo cents. The controversy was finally left to the native Scattleites for. settlement, the decision being Canadian five and ten cent pieces are generally legal tender in Seattle. Ud the young man not completed his monetary exchange arrange ment the uiiiht before the Seattleite would have had t. pay a pretty rriny for their decision for he had a great cullction of Canadiau nickel and dimes to get rid of!) ' a Still later: Home at last after a journey of close to 7,300 miles, according to the r. r. log. Some day" we will figure up how many miles we have railroaded since "that first trip from Chicago to New York in 18S8. Might come close to half a million miles. And let us herewith depose and declare that in nil that traveling from coast to coast there is no r. r. trip that can come up to that from Portland to dear old Medford, "in all the world no trip like this!" It's the only trip iu a passenger train where there are more freight cars than passenger cars. It's the only regular r. r. passenger schedule of over 12 hours during which the passenger has no chance to get a decent meal, either on the train or through a station stop. (And the news butcher ran out It's the only trip possible in f 'Jit miles an hour rant' be an hour anil a half late. It's the only trip in the V. S.

WHEN A MAN GOES ON A DIET Eastern real estate and in surance man, ago SO, height 65 inches, weighed 183 pounds in January, 1940. May 31, 1940, he weighed 16.1 pounds, his girth had re duced two and a half inches, an.1 he report ed he felt fine. He said he would suggest that in the next edition of the booklet "Rules for Re d u e I n g" I should insert a warning that readers who follow the sug gestions in the booklet reserve enough money to buy new suits, overcoats, shirts and collars, because after reducing they will not be able to use their wear ing apparel. When it comes lo that, any one who follows the regimen laid down in the booklet (copy mailed on request if ycu inclose 25 cents coin and stamped en velope bearing your address) should save enough on food. superfluous food, to buy the smaller size clothlnff or to oav for remodeling the old cloth ing. The realtor says his vest mea sure is now 37 inches and asks what it should be. Vest measure? Might as well ask how long long underwear should be. As I recollect, the vest measure is the mean be tween the chest measure and the waist measure. A man past 40, 85 inches tall, should weigh about 150 pounds. Any man past 30 should wor ry some about this rule: For every inch by which the waist measurement exceeds the chest measurement one must deduct from one to two years from one's life expectation. Thse other day a woman re ported that by following the "Rules for Reduction" for I forf,ct how onR bu no very Ion, she had reduced 100 pounds, and was she delighted? She seemed happy over the ne cessity of getting new clothes. A chef in a state institution, age 59, reports hat he works hard every day for ciflht hours and he doubted he could stick to the reduction regimen laid down in 'RuIes for Reducing" and carry on with his Job. but he had a got at it. weighing 240 pounds when he began, and has reduced to 210 in ten weeks. THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by tha North American New-paper Alliance. Inc. Washington, Aug. 1 The con scription bill, which the army and navy consider vital to the national security, is not unlikely to be the first victim of election year politics. It is privately sponsored. It is the target of the isolationists' loudest oratory. And since the president has not seen fit to give the bill the firm backing of the administration, its future in the senate is ex tremely insecure, and in the house very dark indeed. eVrloua as It Is, the situs Hon Is so ruins for lack of defense, they sol Improbable that It has a certain emnly described this defense meas srint comedy about It.

The army's chief of staff. General Oeorye C. Marshall, and several of his subordinates took the stand. They flatly stated their conviction that mtthout some sort of universal service.

There will be a rush job building barracks and canton ments for the mobilized national guard, the 400,000 conscript sol diers, and the regular troops.

TP HERE are 64 concerns in Oregon which will receive national defense orders. Of these, 60 will work on army stuff, with four receiving navy work. Washington state has 105 establishments on the in dex, of which 94 will have army orders and 13 navy contracts. Idaho has five concerns which will receive army orders. Ne vada is the only state in the union which is not in on the defense program. Army spent $220,512 the forepart of last month in Oregon; navy spent $59,000. These are only the be ginning. GOVERNMENT will build 78 plants VJ for war munitions. These will be for the manufacture of powder, air plane cannon, machlna guna, shells, etc. Also 28 plants will be established for the chemical warfare aervlce. Any of these could be located In Oregon, or Washington, where soma of the raw material la available. These planta muat be where there la water, power, coal or fuel oil, transportation and a aupply of labor. Nona of these government' planta will be located on or near the coast, nor Mexican nor Canadian borders. They muat be west of the Allegheny mountains and east of tha Cascades (war department prefers east of the Rocky mountains). Powder planta could be located In the Columbia basin, which offera wide. flat, open country and plenty of It for scatter ing the powder houses.

PORTLAND LANDMARK DOOMED BY PROGRESS Portland. Aug. 1. 0P The St. Charles hotel, once "the grandest building in Portland." will go under the wreckers' hammer soon to make way for an automobile parking lot. The hotel, on Morrison street near the waterfront, was erect ed in 1868 and was for many years the principal gathering place for the great and near great. A railroad dining car. fully equipped, carries approximate ly the following stock, not in cluding food and provisions: 600 tablecloths. 2.000 napkins. 1.000 towels. 650 pieces of chinaware, 700 pieces of silver ware, 240 pieces of glassware. 300 items of pantry and kitchen ware, 200 aprons and 150 wait ers' coats.

The auto mobile, making it possible to live in the suburbs and work in the city, is of course respon sible. Thirty years ago, when the automobile first began to be a real factor in American life, there were predictions that this would be the case, but it is only in the past 10 years that they have begun to materialize.

HENRY Ford reached his 77th birthday on Tuesday in excellent physical condition and more optimistic than ever about the future. "I was never more confident than I am today," he told an interviewer, "that the future will bring happiness, content ment and prosperity to our peo pie." Good for Henry. If there was ever a time in our history when a little genuine optimism was needed, it is now. There arc too many pessi mists around. (Maybe we'd better define the kind of optimists we need. We don't want those who sit and twiddle their thumbs and chirp: "Oh, don't worry; everything will come out all right." If bricks fell on all these, it would not be much loss). FORD, on his 77th birthday, ronpalc hi hasic nhilosoDhv: "There never has been produced too much of any useful com modity." If you want to prove the truth of this nhilosophy, ask yourself this question: ' Have 1 ever naa, tor my own use, too much of any useful commodity?" IT may be true that your fail ure to get even enough of useful commodities has been due to faulty distribution, but re member that if it isn't produced you can't have it.

Communications Traveloguas Praised. To the Editor: I wish to express my appre ciation of the little charts and delightful descriptions of the week-end outing trips in the vicinty of Medford. I did not appreciate how desirable it would be to have the full lot of them until many had been destroyed. I bclieva it would be worth while to have them published in a little booklet: they would make the very best tourist advertising, and every citizen of Medford should have one or. more copies to hand to tourist friends that would more than double their stay In Med ford. I notice you have neglected to mention the Natural Bridge above Prospect on the Crater Lake road. It is well worth seeing. Yours truly, IRA C. JONES. P. S. I would gladly pur chase several copies ol a book let with these little trips as you have published them. I. C. J.
