KefWter EXPLANATION "In reporting events In con nection with the death of Mrs Henry Blank in last week's is sue, It was stated that her daughter, Alice, having been out late the night before, did not awaken until nearly noon on the day of tha tragedy when she missed her mother from the house. "In saying that Miss Alice had been out late the night before, there was no Intention on the part of the editor to Infer that she might have been out to a later hour than the usual retiring time, or to place any reflection upon her good char acter. The general observation of the editor has been in recent years that the majority of young people do not usually retire at night until a late hour mean ing by that anywhere between II p. m. and past midnight. Social events are mainly the cause. "In the case of Miss Blank. It has been learned since last week's publication of the story of her mother's death, that she returned home the night before about 10:30 p. m. "We regret that the wrong Impression was accepted from that part of the story. However, we maintain that one can fre quently be out late at night anywhere from 9:30 to after midnight and still maintain a spotless character. Such a rep utation, we understand. Miss Blank has in the community." E L Vichy, France, Aug. 29. (Pi The Pctain-Laval government struck back today at what it termed British-Inspired rebel lions In France's colonial em pire by relieving three governors-general of their posts and reinforcing the French adminis tration In Indo-China. The powers of vice-Admlral Jean De Coux, rctain appomted governor-general of Indo-China. were increased with repect to control of the colony's five com ponent provinces- The government moved swift ly in connection with African and Pacific colonics, dismissing the governors of the Chad rrg fon in equatorial Africa, the Camcroons Mandate on the Af rican west coast and New Cale donia in the southern Pacific Zellerbach Sales Up San Francisco, Aug.

Editorial Correspondence COMING BACK Veil the big show ia over, and it's a Ion;, long trail bark to Medford too much in the dark ! There was an alluring in vitation to a certain suit at tha Marion hotel but wt decided to pass it up After 50 (stop!) aueh affairs ara good things to eut out even if R. C, doesn't know it! Didn't see George Putnam of tha Capitol Journal at either performance tho he may have been somewhere, in the crowd at the latter. We have a pious idea George ean't swallow G. 0. V. celebrations, altho he has swallowed the Willkie-Mc.Nary ticket, after having been a good Democrat all his life. Ineidently George ia genuine political connoisseur, and no political connoisseur could swallow the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket this year and what is behind it. That isn't campiagn hooey it's the truth. (But you have to be a connoisseur, first.) Yes, as wa stated before it was released, that was a good speech. Like the Senatora prize-winning filberts (what were passed around generously at the al fresco feast) it was full of meat But Charley Mac ia no W. J. Bryan, be can't make words strike sparks and dance. And if he could he probably wouldn't. He doesn't like that aort of thing, he doei like can dor, straightforwardness and common sense. And above all he detests the pretender and the "show-off." Say what you will the great orator, has to be a little of both. . So if anyone went to the State Fair Grounda to get thrill they came away disappointed. There were none. There never are at Republican gatherings, or almost never. We have "stood in" on several and have yet to be deeply stirred. In fact we hava an idea, that aince the Civil War period, the only Republican thrills were provided by the late Theodore Roosevelt, and the maximum was probably reached when T. R. ceased to be a Ucpublican and became a Bull Moose! No if one is seeking thrills, one better follow around the Democrats. They make a specialty of them, very often they can produce nothing else! If the "Man from Mars' had attended this acceptance cele bration he would have been greatly puzzled, particularly if he represented a Martian newspaper and wished to send in an accurate report. And even more particularly if he had ever visited I'resident Roosevelt in the White House or attended one of those lawn parties at Hyde Park. "You call these people Republicans," he might say "and the others Democrats. These people represent the rich and the Democrats the poor, or at least that 'a the general slant. Here you have the aristocrats, there frankly could anything be more simple, more genuinely homespun and unpretentious than all this. While at Hyde Park and the White House, tt To anyone, from Mara or not, it would be worth a note. For a more democratic gathering than the one today both at Fir Cone and the State Fair Grounds could hardly be imagined, it was a solidly American as corn-on-the-cob or a case of "coke." And the socalled dignitaries, Joe Martin of Mas sachusetts, ns straight-forward and unassuming as a dirty shirt, Senator Townsend of Delaware, 100 dirt farmer of the finest Granger type, as far removed from the Du Pont incubus as Walter Pierce, Governor Stassen of Minnesota, a genial, likeable big boyish type, destined for a great things politically no doubt, but still ignored by "Whos Who," and not quite dry behind the political ears, so to speak. Yet a more genuinely democratic crew couldn't be as sembled anywhere, any time, by any parly. The answer to the Mart inn reporter of course would be that "Democratic" and "Republican" are arbitrary partisan brands not in any sense accurate classifications. Not surprising most of our motor fatalities occur at night, the way some of these motorized "night-birds" whizz past in the dark. It isn't safe and nothing can make it safe. This is especially true in the mountains between Uoseburg and Grants Pass. At best one can only see clearly forty or fifty feet ahead, and when going over 40 miles an hour that just isn't enough. But we saw no accidents coming back, and did see one going up. This was in the residence section of Albany at a street intersection and was amusing, not to the participants perhaps, but to your correspondent who was approaching slowly and therefore had a grand stand seat. We still can't figure out what happened, hut the three cars, none going over 8 miles an hour, came together at the corner, as deliberately and quietly as if it had all been a schedule rehearsed. Two cars met head on, the third banged into the engaged couple from another street. There was a slight metallic shock, the sound of trickling glass, and simultaneously three persons jumped out on the street two young men and one middle aged woman, each bending over with copious nose bleeds! Perhaps we have failed to make the humor clear, but as it was immediately apparent, no one was seriously injured, it was there. We stopped long enough to determine there was no aid needed, the hysterical sobs were coming from a young lady, without a scratch, and then proceeded, north. There wasn't as large a crowd at the Fairgrounds as ex pected, perhaps the preliminary sprinkles and threatening clouds kept some away, but it was a very attentive and friend ly one. The applause was frequent rather than vociferous, tine (jot the distinct impression it was too much a big family affair to call for any emotional demonstrations on the part of the audience. That was just "Charley Mac" up there on the platl'nrin talking earnestly and sincerely to his old home state friends, we have an idea when west there will he fur more enthusiasm. Hut the spec -h did make an one agreed or disagreed, there fine integrity about it. (We note the text writer on the photo of the McNary family on the speakers platform maintained the senator was nervously biting his lips while daughter t harlotte was unimpressed. This is exactly 100 wrong. There was no one who appeared cooler than "Charley Mac" throughout (tho we happen to know he doesn't like surh things) while Charlotte was (naturally) greatly excited by the crowd and the noise and her own surprising conspicuousness. Kufus Wniids, veteran newspaper man of Wenatchee. Wash ington i publisher of the World) was on hand, as he was at both the national cmnrntions. Kufus is even a greater roamer tlinii e Medl'ord scribe, having travelled over Russia. France and tierniauv twice during re.-ent vears, and has written a hook or two about same. His chief claim to fame however is his promotion of the liraml Coulee development. no one denies that hut for his individual and persistent efforts, the Coulee dam. would still he in the blue print stage. r.vervone asked him how things looked ill Washington, his invariable reply being: "It nil hangs on the power issue." Kufus w as delighted therefore with Senators McNary 'a un equivocal stand in favor of federal power development, as a vested national right, ami was unlv slightlv less enthusiastic over the plciUe that whrrr surh i u-iM-i'iu ii i ..i r.ijPii.i;i'( private neviopment. tne laner annum not he destroyed hut should be Preh..ed at a fair rr,ee. as was hi ease tn lemie.-,.. , We Iiad a mild aritiiment with Itiifit ur Mr. WillUio's aland on this same matter. We, declaring that in on New !..... .....r-..vi: I. i . - the common people. But the senator talks in the middle- excellent impression. Whether was an undeniable dignity and f'tli'ral development, threatens i . i. 11:1 York press conference the Republican candidate, categorically denied his opposition to such federal power development, and pledged himself to support the "fait accompli" that is con tinue federal aid to such projects as Bonneville and Grand Coulee, if some should be needed to make them self sustaining. Kufus was equally positive no such pledge by the head of the ticket had been made and thought the presidential candi date better keep out of it and let the matter in each instance ba decided by the people of the community affected. . Perhaps we didn't understand Mr. Willkie'a statement cor rectly, but. we were interested to see on our return that he endorsed his vice president's speech in toto, including that por tion concerning federal power development! ..... Met two editors at tha Salem meeting who are planning to take part in the Southern Oregon golf tournament which starts here this week-end. , What is wrong with our local golfers anyway! This annual event is bringing more and more of the golfers from up and down the coast, hut judging by the present entry list, fewer and fewer from Medford itself. Wake up you divot diggers! Do you have to move away from Medford to appre ciate what an important event in the sporting realm this South ern Oregon tourney has come to be! Local entries should at least equal outside ones, and there should be larger and larger galleries every day. If this local apathy continues, Medford will wake up some fine morning and find, the annual Southern Oregon championship has moved elsewhere where there is strong local interest and support!

It is the quantity of air one can breathe out after having taken the deepest possible inspiration An instrument for measuring the vital ca pacity is call ed the spiro meter, a kind of gasometer, and such an instrument is com m o n 1 y used in gym nasiums and by physicians making physi cal examina tions of candidates for appoint ment of police, firemen and the like, as well as In ordinary per iodic health tests. Vital capacity is a good index to physical fit ness. Average vital capacity of adult male is 3700 cc. and that of adult female 3500 cc. (A pint is approximately S00 cc.) Ordinarily 500 cc. or about one pint of air flows in and out of the lungs with each quiet breath. This is called tidal air. Then about three pints of air may be breathed in by the deepest possible inspiration over and above tidal air, and this is called complemental air. In ad dition, about three pints can be breathed out by the most forc ible possible expiration in ad dition to the tidal air of the or dinary quiet expiration- That's' all the air there Is available for breathing. Still present in the lungs, bronchial tubes and trachea after the most forcible expiration is 1000 cc. (two pints) of air, called residual air- This residual air together with the supplemental air, constitutes the reserve supply of air in the lungs, approximately five pints. In 100 patients who had ap pendicitis operations the Soviet investigator measured vital ca pacity two days before the oper ation and daily afterward until it returned to normal. Likewise in 100 patients who had hernia operations. And likewise in 50 patients who had other than ab dominal operations. The patients were men and woman, from 18 to 50 years old. and all opera tions were under local anesthes ia. All patients were divided in to two groups. The first group were kept in bed four or five days after operation. The sec ond group were allowed to get up on the first or second day after operation. The vital capacity of the first group, remaining in bed several days after operation, was more markedly decreased and slower in recovery than was the vital capacity in the second group, early up after operation. In the first group, remaining in bed several days after opera tion, there were seven instances of post-operative pulmonary complications; in the second group, early up after operation, only one. Now I do not recommend som ersaulting your way back from the operation room or stepping out with doctor or nurse (take your chnicei the night after. But I do believe, and have always believed, it would be better for surgical patients to get up and resume normal activities in stead of lying about and play ing cripple for weeks, months or years after a trifling lapara toniy.

''Tvsij Ossa si O ltmt'l should not have spoken so quickly. Frlenda of Senator Robert A. Taft. who waa Winkle's leading opponent at Philadelphia, were also slightly miffed at the recognition they bad received In the campaign. Senator Taft had sent Willkle a telegram and a long personal letter on comrratula tlona. and by a queer nuachance Win kle never saw them and they went unanswered. The Taft people have been mollified by Winkles selection of John HoUlster, one of Taft a cam paign managers, to act aa liaison be tween Oren Root's associated Win kle cluba and the regular Republican organisation. . The Root cluba. the regular Repub lican organization and the new group of "Democrats for Winkle." headed by former Under-Secretary of the Treasury John W. Hants, have been bickering almost continually since the campaign started. Wlllkle spent a great deal of hla time In New York composing these differences. He has aAked Oovernor Staasen to carry on thla soothing Influence, particularly within the Republican national com mittee, where Joe Martin, the new chairman, and Hamilton have not gotten along very well. Davenport, who quit a hlgh-aalar-led Job too devote himself to the cause, remains one of Winkle's closest friends; even though he haa annoyed several Republican leaders. Daven port, like Wlllkle. Is a great believer of the need for attracting the In dependent voter; and he haa been taken to taek for this heresy by prom inent Republican leaders. Davenport's stock reply, which la naturally most annoying to a stalwart, la that the 16.000.000 Republlcana who voted for Landon have "no place to go" except to Wlllkle. While Davenport may be more tactful In the future, he haa yet to lose any of his power. True Comtctlons. Wlllkle has spent a great deal of time conciliating different factions, but he haa refused to compromise on one point, on which he Is being sub jected to the greatest pressure. He la adamant In hla support of much of the presidents foreign policy and of conscription, and In his refusal to take help from racially Intolerant groups. Enough people have told him that he la commltttrv; political aul ctde to make him almost believe It. and It la to his credit that he ad heres to hla convictions. In The Day's News By Frank Jenkins DRES1DENT ROOSEVELT, carrying his "purge" cam paign into this year, remarked a few weeks before the Call-1 fornia primary that "no one in 1940 considers Hiram Johnson a progressive or liberal Demo crat." (Johnson has opposed both Roosevelt's supreme court packing scheme and his foreign policy.) At the primary on Tuesday, Johnson won overwhelmingly, the Republican, Democratic and P r o g r e s sive nominations for senator, thus cinching his return to Washington. By "no one." the President evidently meant FDR. DURGES are hot stuff In to- talitarian Europe, but they don't seem to work in this country.
