Thia means every time one of the Jaw-bone boy sees shotgun, he will talk for two bouri, about pulling the trigger. In Oklahoma, an evangelist offered a $9 reward to anyone who could sleep through one of his sermons. If the preacher can't wake a sinner up, the choir soprano will. Ex-Grand Duchess Marie of Russia visited Portland briefly Sunday, and was interviewed by the metropolitan gentlemen of the press. The Grand Duch ess, one Interviewer states, "greeted the group as kindly as though the reporters were millionaires." As Her Ladyship was asleep when the scribes arrived and was awakened by a secretary, she stretched both herself, and her Imagination. Four paragraphs later Marie an nounced that she had no favor ite color, "while lighting a cigarette with one of her own matches." Here was a chance for the Rose City Journalists to show their bringing up, but not a one hopped forward to strike fire for the lady. The etiquette experts of the woman's pages should do something about this. "Mr. Roosevelt wishes to lend 80 million dollars to some South American countries. Good lord! Is the vote buying to extend down there, too?" (Atchison. Kas., Globe). After that secret destroyer sale to Britain, It's hard to tell what's up the pres idential sleeve. The Elks tom-cat, who got out of the hospital last Thurs. went back yest. This time with a broken Jaw. This cat sure leads a dog's life.

John Barrymore, the "Great Lover" of stage and screen, who seldom pops up in the news except when he has a fuss with his wife, had his face implanted in concrete, and is photograph ed so doing.

Almost "100 Wrong1 PROBABLY there is no help for it With war on all sides of us, (Mexico now threatens to join the Martian chorus) one must expect to listen to, and read, a great deal of nonsense. We have just finished the leading article in the current Harper's, for example, by a Mr. Roy Helton, who is all hot and bothered about our submission as a nation to the female influence. We have, says he, become soft, the male popu lation at least. Our great danger does not lie in the direction of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and the Mikado, but in our passion for luxury and comfort, the deca dence of the old, rugged, hair-on-the-chest pioneer spirit. From this familiar premise he rushes to the fol lowing conclusion: Tht worth and permenenee of democracy een not be insured by guru, tanks, dirt bombers but our hardihood ss a people, ste., ste. To which the answer of contemporary history is "APPLE SAUCE!" Did the Poles, Finns, Czechs or French people, lack hardihood the evidence is overwhelming they did NOT1 They did lack guns, tanks and dive bombers in sufficient quantities, and the impermanence of their democracies was the result CO WITH us. Our advice to Brother Helton is not to worry about our decadence, but to worry about the con crete results of our present defense program. If the past year of war has demonstrated any thing, beyond all doubt, that has been the absolute necessity of meeting totalitarian force with a greater force, BEFORE it is too late. Let the democracies get the necessary mechan ized forces, the guns, tanks and dive bombers, and no one need worry about the capacity and the virility of democratic youth, here and anywhere else, to effectively employ them. But the machines must be produced FIRST 1 Material Change, Not Spiritual TTHIS decadent note has for many years been a pop 1 ular one. Ever since the turn of the century, the theme song in German beer dence of Britain, the tea-drinking, week-ending cricket-playing "DEGENERATES 1" If there has been any decline in the virility or fighting spirit of the average Britisher, or old Johnny Bull's ability to TAKE IT, it has not been apparent from Dunkirk, to the present moment. Had the Nazis not had a seven year head-start on England, in the matter of mechanized equipment, this World War No. 2 probably wouldn't have lasted a month I IT IS the same way in this country, in spite of our easy-going ways, our superabundance of bath tubs, motor cars and labor saving devices. Yes, even our undeniable habits of self-indulgence. It will take more than Mr. Helton's polysyllabic palaverings to convince this department, at least, the American people, and particularly American youth are not entirely sound in limb and heart. Heaven knows they don't want war (who does?) and if war comes no one is going to LIKE it But let Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini or any other foreign tyrant try stepping on the tails of Uncle Sams coat ! It will then be quickly evident we believe, to Mr. Helton and everyone else, that a nation does not necessarily have to abandon modern plumbing, elec tric razors, and steam heat, (nor even jazz music!) to give a good account of itself in battle, if it has anything like an even break in equipment. UOW about the U. S. record in the world war, for 1 1 example? Was the average doughboy any more virile or trustworthy in 1917. than the same tvre todav? If there has been any marked or masculinity, m the intervening years, where are the evidences of it? Certainly not in chromium fit tings, air-conditioned offices, or flying to New York sitting down instead of riding there on a plow horse! But if we understand Mr. Helton correctly that is the essence of his thesis. And it is. as we see it, en- . tirely superficial and entirely fallacious. . tLVer near oj rrwate Dan? CFEAKIN'G of that American war record a couple of decades ago, a certain Dan Edwards, private, died in Hot Springs, Arkansas, exactly a week ago today. Ever hear of him? Probably not. But he was one of only two U. S. soldiers to receive both the Congressional medal and the D.S.O.. for courageous action in France. Here is a portion of the citation : Wounded prlvata Edwarda found hoanital elttence boring and went A. W. O. L. to rejoin the lit Dlvuion.

Now we are not trying to maintain that is a typi cal case, and we certainly have no wish to inject any note of militant bravado, or bloody shirt-waving into the picture. But we are convinced that if this country should be so unfortunate as to engage in another war, there would be just as many Private Edwards in 1940 or 1941, as in 1918 or And if that is correct then we have established our point which is, in brief, that Mr. Roy Helton in raising the decadent scare is talking through his hat Personal Health Service Br WUlUra Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to gleeaet alagnosle or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady It a stamped aelf addreserd envelope Is enclosed.

William Brady. IS! El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. SCIENCE IS TUN I have been reading your col umn for years (writes a profes sional man). It was you who first informed me concerning the ambulant treatment of hernia. A num ber of physi cians had urg ed me to enter the hospital and have the operation. Act ing on your suggestion I consulted Dr. . who proved highly skilled and ca pable. I believe my hernia is permanently cured and have had not the slightest interrup tion of my everyday activities. It is now over two years since I finally discarded my truss and there has been no sign of any recurrence of the hernia. There fore I was astonished by the ar tide Inclosed I thought it might interest you too. (H.B.S ) The article Is a cne-column essay under a screaming four column headline "Injections for Hernia Declared Worthless" by a bright young man featured as "science Editor". According to the article a doctor working In a "clinic" had tried his hand at injection treatment of hernia in 74 cases and had not been very successful with it. so he decided the method was "virtu ally worthless." The doctor ad mitted, however, that- the am bulant or injection treatment appeared to give ' lasting relief" in two-thirds of the cases of "very simple indirect hernia". A plodding door-to-door doc tor naturally has no proper com prehension of the scientific as pects of the question, but still it does seem that a method of treatment which gives ratisfac tory results in two-thirds of ev en a series of selected cases is not "virtually worthless", even in the hands of one who has not seen fit to seek Instruction in the difficult technique tinder a teacher who has had successful experience with it. Too many doctors have at tempted to use this and other modern methods without the formality of such Instruction, and their bungling brings un merited discredit on the method which they hasten to blame as loudly as they can, to cover their failure. Consulting Watson's "Hernia" a recognized standard text book which is or should be in THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP end ROBERT KINTNER (Continued from Page One.) out of chosen courses, and hardly wished even to present adequate defense requests. . Now he is ready for such bold strokes as the destroyer-bases deal, or for such firm statements as his de mand for prompt passage of the draft bill. As has been suggested in this column before, part of the presi dent's previous uncertainty should be laid to his bewilder ment at finding the central as sumption of his foreign policy suddenly proved groundless by the battie of France. Nothing ex cept a sudden confrontation with the unexpected could have pro duced such a speech as the famous "on hand and on order" fireside chat, with its unhappy peevishness, and its rather flim sy efforts at self. excuse. But there is an additional explana tion of the charge in the presi dent, vouched for by a leading member of the administration, and also extremely persuasive It is. quite simply, that be fore the Chicago convention, he was either already determined to do. or seriously considering doing an extremely unpopular 1920. and we believe it is. Brady. M. O. NY THAT WAT every good medical library, (sec ond edition, 1938, Mosby, St. Louis) one finds these statis tics: "In a total of 659 patients ov er fifty years of age operated on for indirect Inguinal hernia at the Hospital there were 170 recurrences, or 25.8 per cent. "In 8,027 operations by 34 surgeons there was recurrence of the hernia In 8.S8 per cent of the cases." "In 1.485 hernia operations on 1.092 patients there were 25 op erative deaths." The operation for hernia Is not exactly a hundred per cent cure. But let's be practical rath er than scientific and admit the operation is not only necessary and advisable but the only meth od of treatment suitable for many cases of hernia: and that it succeeds In curing the hernia in a majority of cases. If I had hernia I'd choose in jection treatment. Along with It I'd follow suitable exercises to prevent hernia and aid in the cure. These exercises will be described in a later talk about hernia, or you may send stamp ed addressed envelope for mono graph on "Hernia". qi'CRTIONa ANRYTEJI Rind la there any food value or vitamin content In the rind of an orange?

Calif. thing - namely breaking the precedent against a third term. Unlike the new dealers, he has always regarded the anti-third term tradition as strong among the rank and file of people. He has always hated to do things distasteful to large numbers of the voters. He is a man who likes to be liked, who is still wounded even by the hatred of the very "economic royalists" he has most loudly attacked. Thus, before taking the plunge, he was in a wavering mood. a e IT la difficult to find much waver ing In hla mood today. He haa ! every detail of hie campaign already ! planned what short trlpa he will I take to dramatise his pre-oeeupatlon I with national defense, what ad dresses he win make when the time cornea for the few he baa decided ; on, and which laauea he will atreae.

The destroyer-air baara deal Is likely to be only the nrat of aeveral almllar developments, all offensive to the Isolationist group, but all In line with his on Ideas Furthermore, there la even a per ceptible phyalcal difference In the president. Shortly before the conven tion, while talking to Col. Prank Knos about the navy secretaryship, he remarked that he did not think he could eland another four years In the White House. He waa ob vloualy tired, and obvlouely diapir lied. Now. on tha contrary, his spirits teem to be eacellent. and far from doubting his ability to aland another four years In his Job. he shows an appetite for work which la almoet without precedent. alcaides supervising the defense program in the clceeit detail, he la cirrentlv acting as eo-ee.-retarv of i-a-e wirh Cordell Hull, ca-aecre'ary of war with Henrv aMmeon. and ev aev-re-ary of the navy :th Col. Knos The magnificent power of resist ance abown by the British, and the decline In the etrength of Wendell U WlUkle are other factor which might be added to the llat of In fluence chanting the president'a mood. Tha real point la. however, that hie mood baa changed, and changed Immeneelj for the better. -i ( ASjar.v-itsS- r t;. t fW k ik.tr iialiili iin ammmmmtm By Frank Jenkins. GERMAN bombers, guided to London by the light of fires already set, blast Britain's capi tal throughout practically all of Sunday night, doing unquestion ably immense damage. In Berlin, "informed nails" assert that the destruction al ready wrought is "but a tenth of what ia to come." STILL the dogged British fight on, backing up Churchill's dramatic statement of few months ago: "We will fight from house to house, from street to street, from hill to hill, but we'll NEVER GIVE UP." Whatever happens. Hitler will know before it's over that in the British he's tackling a dif ferent breed from those he has already conquered. THE temptation is strong to GO IMMEDIATELY to the aid of these heroic fighters who are of our own blood. Before yielding to it, however, let's re member these supremely import ant points: If we go to war, we have ONLY A NAVY to fight with. If we send our navy to Europe, we'll leave the Pacific wide open to hungry Japan, who is itching to grab Britain's Ori ental empire. If we go to war, we'll stop at once the vitally important flow of war supplies. INCLUDING PLANES, to Britain, because we'll have to have them our selves. That would be calamitous to the harried British. JJENRY Walla'ce, campaigning in Illinois, says: "Our peo ple need have no fear of our mounting national debt " Ask yourself this question, and then answer it truthfully, without regard to politics: "With IMMENSE military ex- penditudes facing us, wouldn't we be better off if our national debt was about twenty billions less?" WHAT Wallace probably means (though he may not rea lize It) is that if our national debt reaches the point foreseen by New Deal theorists it will be paid by some sort of hocus pocus with the currency such as juggling the gold content of the dollar. Germany paid her World war debt by hocus-pocus with the currency, Instead of the HARD BUT HONEST method of taxes, and the ensuing disillusionment of her people PAVED THE WAY FOR HITLER. PVERY nation that has ceased to worry about mounting national debt has gone broke. There's no such thing as some thing for nothing never has been and never will be.
