1913-10, when the White House
managed to have a "Mexican cri

Youthful Hitch -Hiker Gains
Liberal Education on Jaunt
By Maud Pool
Big Applegate, Sept. 2. (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.

Iness fell, and sometimes he
wondered If the night ever
I would end, he said, particular
ly when he slept in the bumpy
; furrows of a grape vineyard in
hot central California. At Dor

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

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"

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. Such topics as unemploy

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. Insist on a person

children and retain tha odd custom
of wearing clothes without buttons
Colonel Herahey's brsncb of tha fam
ily settled In Gorman, N. 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

plana to use none of tha -white

the country at the ttme of tha last

man is certainly needed aa director
of the draft.

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.

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.

Der Fuehrer
I saw a husky figure stalking
through the gloom
Stepping on the blushing flow
ers in bloom.
(Spring had gushed its childish
tears upon the road)
Grasping each with awkward,
drunken grace,
He crushed it as he kissed Its
lovely face;
Then on he sped, splashing wat
er as he strode.

You
There stands an Iridescent py
ramid Of mineral earth; its mystic base
Enveloped in clouds of antiquity.
Its upper portions dazzle. Every
face
Is an equilateral iniquity
Diminishing into artistic grace
Of heredity a perfect statue.
Living, breathing the elemen
tal you!
Each generation welded into
blocks
Its finer qualities and built a
pile
Of square-shaped, polished, solid
rocks
Engraved. A master artist carved
your smile
From that ancestral stuff, and
breathed the breath
Of life that each passed on when
blocked by death.
