It Is now worse than In 1913-10, when the White House managed to have a "Mexican cri sis" on the fire, at least once daily, and sometimes twice. Those were the days when Pan- cho Villa, an eminent bandit, was as fearful a villain as Mr. Hitler. The nation shivered and sweat through them all, and, now the same style of Jitters be-i set.

(Spl) "You learn the score and you learn fast," la the way Hugh Curtia, 17-year-old Ontario, Cal., h'gh achool senior, sums up a 2,200 mile hitch-hiking trip which has taken him from southern California to Yakima and back this (ar on his home ward Journey. Hugh has rub bed elbows with first class ho boes In the Jungle, army bomber pilots, loggers, and truck drivers, and out of it all he concludes that people In gen eral are a pretty good sort, and that he is better for his ex periences. "I know that If ever I am in absolute need. I'll know how to catch a freighter, work for my meal In a hotel kitchen, or thumb a ride," he says. With a visit to relatives In Yakima as his incentive, Hugh left Ontario on July 1, and on his return south, stopped on the Applegate Monday to visit Ben Schmidt, who is vacationing at his summer home here, and with whom Hugh is associated In the YMCA in Ontario. He expected to leave Thursday, with brief stops at Red Bluff and Treasure island. Hugh soon learned the tricks of hitch hiking, principally waiting at strategic traffic cen ters for a ride, and he really did very little walking, although he found it difficult to per suade motorists in California. "In Oregon it was easy," he (pPNTljRIEFS Trail, Sept. 2 (Spl.) Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

At Dor ris he happened Into a "jungle," j where he found his hosts lib 'eral with their solicited food. Unthinking, he asked for sugar I for his coffee, but the repri mands from the hoboes soon set I him right. "I can drink my coffee black now," he com- merited. "I like it it has a nice I flavor." At Dorris he worked for two weeks in a hay field, where beefsteaks for every meal and huge breakfasts were custom ary. At Modoc Point the hotel keeper demanded only sweeping of the porch for a good break fast. He rode from Modoc Point direct to Yakima. Rides were principally with truck drivers, loggers, and fruit workers, although in Washington he rode with an army bomber pilot. At Fort Lewis he was sent on his way with the reminder that there was a law there against hitchhiking. Hugh rode from Portland to Medford with a Shasta dam employe. "Sure, I've had a great time, but some of these experiences aren't so funny when they're happening," Hugh remarked. m a rnoenix Phoenix, Sept. 2.

MORE ARE It is needless to recall the dis- couragingly large percentage of: young men who were found physically unfit when America was preparing for World war I. It is pleas- anter to re member that six months in military train ing camp cur ed most of the weaklings of what ailed them flab biness. Will the draft for com pulsory military training reveal any change in the physical con dition of the youth of the coun try now? From casual observa tion of the ways of life in the past twenty years I am confi dent that this time flabbiness will not be the outstanding de fect of young American men. that is, physical flabbiness. I leave to others the appraisal of other kinds of flabbiness. There are two reasons why I take this view. First, it seems to me that young men have tak en up various kinds of recrea tional activity, exercise, play competition in steadily increas ing numbers since World War I they have taken to DOING THINGS themselves Instead of sitting around as spectators while professional players per form for their entertainment. Second, altho I have discussed the subject of physical fitness only rarely In recent years com pared with the frequency of items about it in my column some years ago, I receive a far greater proportion of letters or inquiries about it from young men today than I have ever had before. All physical instructors or di rectors know how difficult it is to keep flabby folk, physical weaklings, taking their medicine. regularly or long enough to de rive evident benefit from it. Such soft individuals are soft all thru, and they are reluctant to acknowledge that they real ly need the exercise prescribed for them. They like to think they can take it vicariously, with the aid of a machine, or under the vigorous manipula tion of a professional masseur, rubber or physical therapist. A schedule or program cal culated to bring reasonably sat isfactory results for the man or woman who does recognize his or her flabbiness and sincerely wishes to correct it, must be Kn Route to Washington, Sept. 2. Sounding more like the secretary of war than the secretary of nsriculture, Henry A. Wallace's acceptance speech was principally remarkable for the slight attention given to farm problems and the stress he placed on Ke threat of war. It was, largely, war scare prop Uganda, with more gunpowder than pastoral appeal. Mr. Wal lace stepped out of character and from a mild mannered agri culturalist became for 30 min utes a saber-rattling belligerent. The ncceptnnce speech con tained the keynote of the strat egy which the new deal intends pursuing in the campaign: Iden tify Herr Hitler closely w ith the national election: imply (if not openly charge) that the nazi leader is in some way associated I with Wendell Willkic and the Republican party nnd that only Mr. Roosevelt can prevent llerr Hitler from making the I'nited States a totalitarian stale. I It is worthy of attention to compare the accepance sneveh of Oregon's Senator McNary with that of Mr Wallace. Both were nominated for vice presi dent because of their identifi cation with the peaceful pur suits of the soil. "Charley Muc" delivered a speech which was full of moat, of conri'di 0 ideas dealing with the farm, power and other lead 1:1;: domes tic issues, whertas Mr Wallace talked as though ho was second ing fhe nomiration of Mr. RiHiscveit and ucxo'cd nn:.'h of his discourse head of the ment.

Such a schedule if the course of exercises described and illustrated in "The Last Brady Symphony" No. 6 in the series "Little Lessons in the Ways of Health.". The Last Brady Symphony consumes about 15 minutes time if you do all of the movements in one seance. This is not too much time for a man or woman under 33 to devote to keeping fit. But men and women past middle age may find it too much, if they have been flabby very long. For them I recom mend the exercise described and pictured in No. 16 Little Les son, "the 7 Keys to Vite".

Originally it was Intended by the new deal strategists to "make something" of the Ger man ancestry of Willkie, there by, through insinuation, to sug gest a tie-in of some sort with Herr Hitler. In his acceptance speech the Republican nominee for president beat the new deal ers to the draw by telling of his German grandparents who came to the United States to find the freedeftn they could not have in their fatherland. This bold statement by Willkie killed a choice morsel for a whisper ing campaign. Second line of attack on Will kie was to be his former em ployment as executive of a pri vate utility. Much was to be made of this, but Oregon's Mc Nary stymied that when he enunciated his ideas on the pub lic power policy: and then Will kie. commenting on McNary's speech, announced the senator's views were identical with his own. The McNary discussion of power won the praise of Neb raska's Norrir, who is regarded as the highest authority on the subject. Aa the campaign progresses the voters mill learn that attacking Herr Hitler will be the popular outdoor s;ort of sump speakers for the new dealers.

But u the draft goes without undue hitch, a great many army men will give the credit to Lieut. Colonel Lewis B. Hershey, an unassuming and cbscure officer of long exper ience, who is the executive sec retary of the Joint army and navy selective service commit tee. For four years Hershey hsa baen getung ready for tha draft day that now seems sura, contacting governors and adjutant generals, devising forms and regulations, mspplng tha coun try Into 6.500 local districts. For tha put few weeks ha haa appeared before congressional committees, ex plaining tha proposed system, and making a eery favorable Impression. At the war department he is respected aa a hard-working, serious and well informed officer. Although ha baa been In tha army almost thirty years, he lacks tha great reverence for things military that la so usual In tha eerrlea. Ha still thinks In terms of clviuana. a qualification that seems necessary tor anyone who Is to have an Important part In drafting them. Under tha terms of tha bills before congress, tha president will appoint a 110,000-a-year director of tha draft. If recent appointments ara a criterion, tha position win go to an important businessman, who will 00 me to Wash ington with great fanfare and who will spend weeks learning what his Job la all about. If tha place were filled, however, on tha baala of any kind of career service, there seems little doubt that It would go to Hershey without much serious oppo sition. A great many people argue that a civilian should ba named draft director, but Herahey's viewpoint Is such aa to 'remove the usual objec tions to an army man. Farmer's Son. The Hershey family came to this country in 1709. migrating from Switzerland to Lancaster. Pa., for re ligious reasons. They belonged to the Mennonlta church, whose mem bers to this day bava strong acrup pies against? war.

T.. early In tha nineteenth century, but In 1840 his grandfather moved to a farm In Indiana near Angola. Hershey had the early life of a typical farmera son. Ha attended a one-room country school house, called Hell's Point school: was grad uated from a nearby high school, and after a few months of higher team ing returned home to teach In an other country school. But later he varied tha routine, returning to Tn State college, and attending Indiana University. Before entering the army he waa superintendent of schools In a small Indiana town. In 1911 ha Joined the Indiana Na tional Quard. which had the rather quaint custom of electing Its offi cers. Being a popular fellow, he waa chosen a Ueutensnt. He served on the Mrxlcsn border and in tha world war, remaining In the service after the wsr, he bsd tha usual assign ments, until four years azo when he waa transferred from Hawaii to be come the executive officer of the se lective service committee. He la mar ried, the father of four children, and noted In army clrclea for his Urge fund of very Improbable stories. While the war and navy depart mente eipect no great dislocation from the draft an average of only alxty men will be selected from each 30 0OO of popu'atlon to raise tha first 400.000 it Is essential that a sensi ble Job be dona. The war department plana to use none of tha -white feather technique" that so stirred the country at the ttme of tha last I wsr. But a well-informed and wise man is certainly needed aa director of the draft. AS FAIR OPENS I Salem.

Ll-iHaaavia By Frank Jenkins I TNXESS the censors have been successful in filtering all the truth out of the news of PHYSICAL DAMAGE accom plished in almost constant air raiding, it is beginning to look as if Britain won't be conquered by air attack alone. Nor does it appear that Bri tish morale is being shattered by these attacks unless, that is, the news we have been re ceiving has been wholly pois oned by the censorship. BUT if you want a good clear picture of the probable pur pose back of these attacks try to fancy yourself working every day with one eye on your Job and the other on the entrance to the nearest shelter with your ears strained constantly to catch the drone of airplane motors in the sky. Then imagine yourself being routed out of bed every night by air raid alarms and the thunder of bombs. I Remember that the strain of 1 rYDPOrivn Tuccr Tutvnc will be almost as wearing as the actual experience of them. You would be quite unusual if in such circumstances your productive efficiency didn't suf fer considerably. IN MODERN, mechanized war- fare, keeping up efficient pro duction of the MACHINES OF WAR is immensely important. One of the primary objectives of the German air raids on Bri tain is undoubtedly reduction of British industrial efficiency. (The British raids on Germ any are to show it is a game two can play at.) DUMANIA, spanked and told to be good, loses half its territory and is now being oc cupied by German military forces placed there to see that Brother Gangster Stalin doesn't pick up TOO MUCH loot. The people are In mourning. Such is the penalty of being little tn a world where only force counts. THE Balkans, quieted by a heavy hand, will stay quiet only as long as Hitler is FEARED. Look for trouble at the first sign of weakness on der Fuehrer's part. 4 THE Overton-Russell amend- ment to the conscription act, giving the president power to seize industrial plants in case of disagreement, might be all right in the hands of an administra tion inclined to use such drastic power only in grave and clearly recognized emergencies. The present administration has demonstrated its inclination to seize and hold EVERY POS SIBLE POWER over industry. That makes the amendment dangerous. IT ISN'T merely Roosevelt. He is surrounded by a sort of palace clique whose fingers itch for power. Roosevelt, because of good nature or unwillingness to go contrary to friends and associ ates and assistants, allows this clique to influence him in ways that are dangerous to our free government. As for industry, it is AL READY CONSCRIPTED. The power to tax takes care of that. Scores Yesterday National League Brooklyn 4-7, New York 1-3. Cincinnati 6-2. Chicago 5-1.
