"The rising generation Is try ing to find its. place in the sun everywhere except between plow handles." (Oakland (Cal.) Tribune) It's no placo to be.

'The grief of untold num bers of women is the philan dering husband, and the one thing they desire to know more than anything else in the world Is how to deal with him. Millions of wives have tried every remedy from prayers to shotguns on their wandering spouses." Fall hats for the gnls will be both "silly and sensible," a mil liner reports. This is quite a combination, and should turn out to be simple. The Republican chieftains are reported having quite a time with Mr. Herbert Hoover, who is reputedly sulking about the way things are going. The cx-presi- dent is mentioned as an adminis- trator of European relief. Such an appointment would also be relief to the Republican party. ' ...

Clolti time tor Too U'. to Clas sify Ada 1 1 10 p. m. How About Willkie? WENDELL WILLKIE is a typical American. He wa3 born 1n a modest home in a little town in Indiana of a poor but honorable family. He went through the school of hard knocks. He fought his way to the top. He worked and earned his way through college a midwestern college. He had no wealthy parents to send him to private schools and to Harvard. He was not born with a gold spoon in his mouth. He worked as a harvest hand in the wheat fields of Oklahoma. He taught school in Kansas. He was reared among the common people and likes them best Although he has won fame and success, he has never gone high hat. . . WILLKIE is a man of remarkable intelligence. He proved that when he was quizzed on the radio program of "Information Please." He has a trained legal mind. Even in college he made a high reputa tion as an orator. The new dealers plotted to squelch Willkie and his boom for president. They had Attorney General Jackson, the best spokesman for the 'New Deal, chal lenge Willkie to a public debate. Willkie accepted. Willkie literally made mincemeat of the attorney general. Jackson, who himself was seeking the Democratic nomination for president or vice-president, was absolutely discredited. His political boom was punctured. Roosevelt had picked Jackson for his running mate, but had to drop him after that debate. TXILLKIE is a great thinker and a keen analyst. He ' wins his debates by sheer logic, backed by facts. His statements are straightforward, direct to the point, without camouflage. While he enjoys a de bate and revels in a good, clean contest, yet he is more than a great orator, a great lawyer or a great business man. He has a profound knowledge of all of the af fairs of the country economic, politic and social. He believes in the democratic process, not in a dic tatorial, one-man government. He has truly said that in a nation of 130,000,000 people, no man is in dispensable. flILLKIE is not a politician. The politicians of the Republican party did everything they could to prevent his nomination. It was the rank and file of the people who demanded his nomination and who forced it through the convention against the opposi tion of nearly all the old line Republican wheel horses. This is the first time in a century when the people have had an opportunity to select a man to the presi dency who is not, and never has been, a politician. He is truly a people's candidate. TXILLKIE is a man of splendid physique, of excep " tionaj intelligence, of kindly, straightforward manner and of charming, appealing personality. He will appeal to the common citizen because he is one of .them and he has never monplace. Nevertheless, he tains of industry and he can match his wits with the best legal minds in America. His integrity, energy and ability are unquestioned. He will restore order to the conflicting confusion and chaos m Washington. "THERE is ONE answer to the "Side Glance" query: "What is a Willkie?" and we trust those who are sincerely curious in that regard will ponder it care fully. For the above is NOT from the Republican Na tional Committee. It is NOT from the Portland Ore- gonian, Chicago Tribune, or any other confirmed Republican authority. It is not from a Republican source at all. It is a front page editorial from the "Daily Okla homan & Times." the leading Democratic newspaper of the state of Oklahoma, which supported President Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936, but can't conscientiously do so again, and for the reasons stated above has de cided to support the Republican candidate. Added to the above editorial is the paper's final conclusion : "We believe Wendell Willkie will be elected, for he will have the support of tens of thousands of Democrats in Okla homa, as well as in every other state. The Oklahuman at Times will support him." The Truth About the Draft XE know there are a p eat number of people who find it difficult to make up their minds regarding the selective draft They don't LIKE the idea, and yet if the country really needs it, they wouldn't stand in the way, they would be for any genuine NEED at this critical time, as a patriotic duty. So they arc earnestly trying to determine the truth about the proposal. XELL, as an aid in this direction, here is a sugges- tion : Why not secure the opinion of the one man in this country who knows MOST about such things. That man is General George C. Marshall, the army chicf-of-staff, and generally regarded as the most capable chief-of-staff this country has had in a gen eration. The General was in Portland yesterday, and in reply to a question declared the adoption of conscrip tion, the selective draft. must be done ami as quickly as possible. For, said he : "It Is the only democratic method and the only practical method I know. If I could have had all the men the law permitted on July 1st. I could have plared them hint where they were nerdi-d the niot and we could hae h'en much better organized than w are at the prejent time It doesn t " MEDFORD MAIL lost the touch of the com is at home among cap New York Herald-Tribune, TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. do to get your men a year late; you hava to hava them on time in THIS GAME." In the opinion of this paper, there ia the absolute truth regarding the selective draft We appreciate what the rejoinder will be: But General Marshall is a professional military man and therefore is prejudiced, of course. But IS he? This is a MILITARY question, not a political or civil one. It concerns what this country should do in time of war, not in time of peace. If you can t take General Marshall s aqvice on a war problem, then whose advice CAN you take !

DOES THE SCAB, C Contrary to a notion of many laymen and some old time physi cians calcium (lime), " whether taken into the the system in hard water, in the form of medicine or in foods that con tain consider able calcium, does not tend to cause hard ening of the arteries nor to cause stone in kidney or bladder, nor to cause g a 1 1- stones, nor to cause high blood pressure, nor to cause cataract. Actually there is considerable evidence that some of the dis eases mentioned, particularly premature hardening of the ar teries, may be one result of pro longed calcium shortage in the system either from insufficient intake of calcium (whether in food, drinking water or medi cine) or from in ability to ab sorb, assimilate or metabolize or utilize enough of the calcium to satisfy the body's daily require ments. ' People who labor under the quaint misapprehension that food or water containing "too much calcium" may bring on any such disease or that one may avoid the risk of such dis ease by avoiding hard drinking water or by drinking only soft water or distilled water or by avoiding foods they imagine con tain "too much lime" ought to change their reading, their hab its or maybe their doctors. For one thing, it is question able whether the calcium in drinking water is absorbed or used by the body at all. Any way, it is negligible so far as health is concerned if the water is satisfactory in taste it makes no difference whether it is hard or soft. Deposits of calcareous mate rial in the tissues have no such significance to the pathologist. The presence in the arterial wall of more calcium than normal arteries should have, spells just one thing to the pathologist degeneration. Calcification oc curs only as late consequence of the death of functioning tis sue cells when replacement (re generation) of the cells is no longer possible.

Aug. 13 If Ore- gon's Charley McNary does not! carry Idaho as Republican nom- inee for vice-president then the signs are all haywire and many: people do not know what they are talking about. It is natural that McNary would be a strong asset to the Republican ticket in a state, neighbor to his own. and the senator's long championship ofj reclamation and irrigation, two very essential matters in the, Gem state, assures popularity, but there are other factors enter ing the picture that point to the Willkie-MiNary ticket sweeping the state. ; IN Idaho there is bitter resentment M.-!i!nr Mr. Roosevelt arcklng a third term and violating a tradition that is a old as the I'nlted matte. As one ersthile supporter of Mr R,ocvelt oherved: "If the people elect Hooscvelt a third time It will be the laM time they will hsve a chance to vote for a president." There Is sunlfu-anop In that atatement. It Is admitted that Jtm Pope, new deal trustor who was defeated after one term yot us everything we wanted." but Pope was personally unpopular despite his bringing home the bacon.

AUSE THE INJURY? eration Diet, the Corrective Pro tective Diet, are foods particu larly rich in calcium milk, egg yolk, lettuce," nuts, carrots, cel ery, turnips, cheese, raw cab bage (coleslaw) leafy vegetables, greens. Here it is well to re call that "preservation of the characteristics of youth" and "material improvement of the life expectation of adults" are among the benefits gained by following a diet based on some such pattern. The old-timers drew wrong inferences from the calcareous deposits they found in certain tissues, because they knew little or nothing of the physiology of nutrition. There is no excuse for intelligent laymen, to say nothing of physicians, persist ing in that error, new that we know better. Calcareous ma terial merely takes the place of the cellular elements of organ or tissue after these function ing elements hava been worn out or destroyed and can no longer be repaired or regener ated. qi'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS ( all It rrl.

Mr. Wallace and Mr. winkle the weave problems are hearsay or second-hand Information, but McNary understands from having lived on the ground and by associa tion for a lifetime with the far west Itself, u he Is a native son of the region. see AS Jim Parley might say. Idaho Is In the bag for the Wlllkle McNary ticket and at this writing there Is nothing in slant which Is likely to switch It to the new deal column not even developments In Europe, which It la admitted in some states would materially aid the cause of Mr. Roosevelt. Idaho Isn't "hot" for the selective draft, as young men eligible for conscription ssy that while they are willing to rwht for the flsg when necessary, they do not want to go Into military training for a year and lose the Jobs they are now filling. As for winkle, while he has not been In Idaho, the Impression la that he Is likeable and competent and "folksy." THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER iContlnued from Page One.) WHILE he may be "played down" for political reasons, it can be assumed, of course, that Hopkins wtll continue closer to the president than any other Individual in the White House circles. Indeed he has now frankly become a White House man. for although he Is still officially secretary of commerce, he gives com paratively little time to the affaire of hla office. Instead, he remains at tKe White House, where he now has his own suite, to pass the president's time, help with odd Jobs, discuss ma jor problems, or make himself useful or agreeable In other ways. So long ss he remains, atorms will rage around his head. He la Intensely distasteful to most of the Democratic organization leadera, who regard hlra as an amateur and think the country Is suspicious of him. He also Infur iates many of the new dealers, who think he ia an opportunist, compro miser and an apostle of weakness. Under the circumstance, storms are inevitable. POSSIBLY the Hopkins problem win fairly soon be solved. The story a going the rounds of the new deal group that b.re long Hopkins will resign the secretaryship of com merce, and retire to private life as keeper of the library of his pspera which the president hss established at Hyde Park. There Is a trace of wlshftilness In the eacer anticipation with which Hopkins' loving collesgues say "be fore long." Yet, u a long-run plan, the idea doea not seem altogether Improbable. SOLUTION of the Hopkins prc lem will by no means make all sweetness and light, however. Por example, another big row Is blowing up over the personnel of the Demo cratic national committee, on which L. W. Robert, Jr.. and Oliver Quayle still survive from the Parley era as secretary and treasurer. Both men are held In the liveliest detestation not only by the new dealers, but also by a number of Important orthodox Democratic leaders. At the moment, the firing ts hot test against "Chip" Robert. Robert a engineering firm Is understood to have obtained more than 1 000.000 of fee contract under the defense program from the navy. Although the legitimacy of the contracts la not attacked. Robert's dismissal from his national commit tee post is being utved on the grounds of the so-called Kremer precedent This was aet by the President him self six tears ago. when he forced J. Bruce Kremer of Montana. Arthur Mullen Of Nebraska and Robert Jack son of New Hampshire to resign rrora the national committee because they were doing a prosperous lesal business In cases coming before the government departments. And whether or no, Robert Is forced to go the wsy of Kremer.

CENTRAL PL HAS if Eight of Town's Boys Now Serving in Army Nine in Natl. Guard 19 in Navy There seems to be no need of conscription in Central Point This neighboring city might be small in size, but it is large in patriotism and service to its country. It was said of Central Point in the World war that so many of its citizens had volunteered for military service that when conscription was put into effect there was no need of drafting anyone. Today Central Point is believed to have more men In the military branches of the country than any other city of comparable size. Eight In Army In the army at present Cen tral Point has eight youths. They are Clyde Lees, Kenneth Williams, Ross Painter, Harris Biasing. Bradford Muse. Carl Nabbs, Ray Cox and James Chapman. In the national guard, now engaged in maneuvers in Wash ington, Central Point has nine of its young men: Henry Booth, Junior Kilburn, Lawrence Cass man, Loren Cassman, Noble Brown. Eldon Stevens, James Rolls, Darrcll Rolls and Eugene Tedrick. 19 In Navy It is in the navy that Central Point really goes to town.
