Berlin report! 164 British
plane have been shot down, and
only 17 Nail planes destroyed In
the air fighting the first two
days of the long-heralded "blitz
krieg." London reports corres
ponding havoc for their aerial
foes. Any day now woro. can
come to America one of Hitler's
armadas flew over England and
returned to their base with three
more planes than they started
with.
An upstate paper advocating
more preparedness declares "the
time to fix a leany rooi is De-
fore It rains." This is sound logic,
unless one holds to the belief
it Is not going to rain any more

"At the moment we can

fact that Mrs. Peck, popularly

and causes us to reach out for
an explanation."
Italy, who to date has suffered
none of the terrors of war save
an occasional speech by II Tin

fathers; unless you do, it might

Messrs. Willkle and Landon
in conference at Colorado
Springs agreed a sharp eye
should be kept peeled for
"fraudulent voles" In the Novem
ber election, and profess to have
no faith In political bosses who
engineered the Chicago conven

but who counts them.

"The American Way" !
WE are in receipt of a communication from a Mr.
Sydney Hollaender of 148 East 28th, New York
City, containing the following pronouncement:
There's No War Like tha American War"
Because:
I can go to any church I please;
I read, see and hear what I choose;
I can express my opinions openly;
My mall reaches me as It was sent . . . uncensored;
My telephone is untapped; .
I can Join any political party I wish;
I can vote for what and whom I please;
I have a constitutional right to trial by Jury;
I am protected against unlawful search and seizure;
Neither my life nor my property can be forfeited without
due process of law.
Styling himself just a "New York Business man"
the writer concludes:
"The above will appear on the back of the New York
Telephone Red Book (classified telephone directory) in New
York and Brooklyn and will be seen by some 20,000,000
people during the next six months . . . This Is sent to you
to do as you pleas in a worthy dissemination of the
worthiest causes."
We suspect Mr. Hollaender is suffering slightly
from an exhibitionist complex, but his doctrine is a
good one, and we are glad to push it along by leading
today's editorial with it.
The Great Disillusion
SPEAKING of communications, we are in receipt of
one from our next door neighbor at the Chicago
convention,- a newspaperman from Florida, which
start out as follows:
"That convention was the most disillusioning experience
of my life. I doubt if, politically speaking, I ever get over it"
That statement interested us extremely, for it was
precisely our experience, so much so that we had be
gun to fear that our reactions were not normal,
iiroi-o tho i-oaiilt norhana nnt an mnrh nf what han-
.
pened at the convention,
terriDie LiaKe ivncnigan ui
terrible Chicago climate.
DUT here is confirmation
for our next-door neighbor was a man in his early
seventies, a life-long and uncompromising Democrat,
who has always supported and voted for the Demo
cratic party candidate, and we suspect will do the
same this year, although when he left the conven
tion hall after the nomination of Secretary Wallace,
he swore by all that was holy he WOULDN'T.
DUT it's hard to break the
XJ
ticularlv when the three
has been passed. And we note there is no repetition
of that profane declaration in this letter.
There is so much resentment and bitterness, how
ever, regarding the convention, its methods and its
results, our euess is Mr. X will follow Al Smith and
take a walk. Not support the Republican ticket
(where he lives in Florida that is practically a capital
offense) but also not support Roosevelt and Wal
lace. (It was the latter that in this particular case
broke the camei's back.)
DUT if this life-long Southern Democrat could have
been so disillusioned and' embittered by the Chi
cago convention, the methods there displayed, the
atmosphere and the results, nuAUiNt; wnat tne ei
fect upon the northern Democrats must have been!
As for the Roosovelt REPUBLICANS, well, we
had dinner with one of them during the convention,
who complained frequently of loss of appetite and
have since learned he is taking the stump for Willkie
and McNary on September 1st!
Making Hay
IT was not only the soiled, sordid, sorry atmosphere
of that Chicago convention that forever destroyed
the illusion of political idealism in the. Democratic
party, as it is now controlled, but it was what one
heard on all sides in the press gallery, particularly
from the Washington correspondents.
They didn't deal in prejudices, they dealt in facts.
And we recall particularly what one of them re
marked about a point recently raised by the Republi
can nominee. how the Roosevelt family have com
mercialized their seven years in the White House.
e
IT may seem a trivial matter, why shouldn't the
Roosevelts make money out of their good fortune
in every legitimate way?
, i p
according to our lmormam, mrir w ay hcimi u-u
legitimate and here, in brief, is his indictment:
"Have you any Idea how much the Roosevelt family has
made In cash money from the fact the head of it was elected
President? Now these are facts; they have all been pub
lished, and never denied. In seven years
Mrs. Roosvelt has made $1,200,000
Jimmy Roosevelt 350.000
Elliott Roosevelt 150 000
Mrs. Dahl 100.000
Total $1,800,000
"1 estimate the total earnings of the entire family in the
eight years, due almost entirely to the prestige and power
Involved in the Presidency at $2.00.000, it may even he
more than that. Now I make no charnes against the women
I have no illusions regarding either of them, but Just
cross their part off. but I DO regarding Jimmy and Elliott
and this is the charge: That they deliberately and with
malice aforethought, particularly the former, cashed in on
their membership in the presidential family, were paid
money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, not for any ser
vices rendered, any abilities possessed, but solely on the fact
they were sons of the President of the United States. Do
you like that sort of thing? Well, 1 don't!"
Under the circumstances, this department wasn't

THE CALCIUM
The diet of most Americans,
even the "well nourished class"
or those whose food is restricted
only by their
own whims
or h a b i t s, is
more often de
ficient in cal
cium than in
any other ele
ment. A fundamen
tal reason for
this c a 1 e 1 um
shortage is our
low per capita
consumption of
milk which is
the best of all sources of food
calcium and phosphorus. An
other reason Is that most people
are unaware of the importance
of salads, leafy vegetaoles, rel
ishes, greens, raw vegetables in
the diet these are second only
to milk (and cheese) as food
sources of calcium and phos
phorus and besides they are ex
cellent sources of vitamins A
and C, both of which favor cal-l
cium storage ana retention in
the body. Vitamin D, of which
milk, cream and butter are the
richest natural food sources, is
essential rather for the assimila
tion of calcium, whether from
food or from medicinal prepara
tions. Normally not more than one
half of the calcium ingested in
food or medicine is assimilated.
Thus even if the regular diet
"self or the diet supplemented
with medicinal calcium m some
form provides the amount of cal
cium the body requires daily,
there may still be a calcium
shortage due to failure to assimi
late all of the calcium. Hence
the maintenance of optimal nu
trition requires that each indi
vidual must ingest at least as
much again as the estimated
daily requirement of calcium for
the individual under the particu
lar circumstances.
On the other hand there may
be a calcium shortage, with its
various manifestations which
will be described later, in spite
of the intake of twice as much
calcium as the body needs daily
owing to insufficient daily in
take of vitamin D, which is in
dispensable for the absorption
and utilization of calcium. It is
practically Impossible for an in
fant or young child to get enough
Portland, Ore.. Aug. 14.
While there Is a substantial sen
timent for the Willkie-McNary
ticket from Washington, D. C,
to the Columbia river, there are
several factors which are un
known quantities. Cue of these
is labor. At this time labor, In
the main, can be regarded as
supporting Mr. Roosevelt, not
withstanding the position taken
by John L. Lewis, chief of the
CIO. But labor is susceptible
to campaign arguments as well
as any other group. Mr. Lewis
cannot dolivcr the CI O. vote In

sources alone (hence it is the
universal custom to supplement
the diet of infant or young child
with some special vitamin D
preparation if not with fish liver
oil). Children In the teens and
young adults suffer various nu
tritional disorders or deficiencies
due to inadequate intake of vita
min D, and secondarily to faulty

and phosphorus will be described
later.
Calcium constitutes a larger
proportion of the body weight
(2 per cent) than does any other
inorganic element. Phosphorus

For the first time in more than

that because of the numerous
other calls on him, he could
not grant the president's re
quest. Although he had already sug
gested one of his subordinates
as a substitute, asserting that
the proposed subordinate would
do a better job than he could,
the president let the matter
drop for the time being.
THE story of the publisher Is being
repeated by high officials of the
administration close to the president
The fact that the publisher ts known
as a close adviser of Wendell L.
Willkle naturally does not tend to
soften the comments on the Incident
In administration circles. The pub
Usher, who Is understood to be out
of the country, has not yet given
his version of the incident, which
may be quite different from the ad
ministration's. The sudden revival of the Inci
dent, and the widespread anticipa
tion that the president will soon
make some mention of It himself,
are chiefly significant as straws In
the wind. Along with several other
straws, they point in the general
direction of a grand presidential as
sault on the American press.
The president's extreme bitterness
toward the press la a pretty open
secret. He beizan to feel that the
press was unfair to him shortly after
the new deal honeymoon ended. His
feetlng wns greatly Intensified by the
1938 cam pawn, when a huge propor
tion of the press opposed him. It
was further strengthened by the
court fight. And now. with over 00
percent of the newspapers and virt
ually all the mamazlnes In the coun
try working asalnst his reelection,
this feeling of the president's Is.
quite understandably, more violent
than ever.
Anyone who follows hit public
utterances will remember that few
of his recent pertinent statements
ha-e omitted some sort of direct or
indirect attack on the newspaper
business. Thus the time for a full
dress presidential attack is obviously
ripe.
SO far as known, the actual project
of such an attack has not yet
been dlcued by the president. At
a recent cabinet meeting, however,
he gave a number of the men preeent
the impression that something bin
was in the wind. Much of the meet

past the Savage Ripids dam,
that they would be smart enough
and acrobats enough to cope with
any object that may obstruct
their passage on up the river.
If the fish and game commis
sion is so interested In the fish
getting up the river, why don't
it do something about the handi
cap placed upon the fish at the
Savage Rapids dam? Or is it a
different story?
H. G. HILL,
Rogue River, Ore.
August 14, 1940.
Ye Poets Cornei
Mad Captain.
(Russell Mitchell.)
How gallant and brave; how
weathered and torn:
How grandly he fought for man
kind forlorn:
How strong In the gales: how
meekly he preached;
How humbly he prayed when
land had been reached!
How utterly changed to pageant
and pride!
How fearless he brushed hi
first ma'e aside!
With reckless decision, grabbing
the sail.
He dares ship again alone thru
the gale! 4
We weep 011 shore; we dare not
to go.
His strength cannot last the cer
tain, wild blow.
We love him, dear God. Protect
him, we pray.
Lord, teach him to yield the
honorable way!
