The change to has caused the men of the nearby hills to put on their woolen un derwear tickling aide out. Ana, city folks are reminded of a passage in Proverbs that in forms: "Where there is no wood, the fire gocth out." a proud Republican father of; a.hinotin Ktnti. hna named hov Washington State has named boy twins, 'Wendell" and "Willkie." tVe hope he gets the postmaster ihip, and the boys turn out well. Once an enraptured local Papa named a son after Woodrow Wil son, and four years later wished he had picked William Walter. ... The skies and the sporting editors are both weeping at Salem these days. Writes one: "They have finally come out In the open in their efforts to steal the state high school tourna ment." This alleged larceny can be prevented by the simple pro cess of eliminating Salem as the "host team." and battling its way through district compctl tion, the same as the other en trants. Incidentally, the basket ball lamentations have started earlier than usual. ... DON'T SPARE THE VITRIOL! (Corvallli Gaielle-Times) "As Dr. Townsend stated in his speech Sunday night, 'a naturalized Chinaman would be better than Roosevelt for president.' The doctor too might just as well have left off 'naturalized.' It is our sin cere Judgment that Mr. Roose velt is a serious menace to the country's welfare." ... The deerslayers all have their .30-30's oiled, and their trigger fingers steady for the opening of the season on the morrow. All hope to return Intact, with five point horns, and 3-cornered steaks, and no reason to look sad at an inquest. ... A Portland democrat was here the first of the week warning the faithful it is going to be a fight to keep Wall St. from snatching Bonneville Dam out of the mouths of the people. ... "LEADING GROCER DOWN AGAIN" (Del Norte Triplicate hdllnel It's hard to keep a good man up. ... The German versions of the result of British air raids on the homeland always make the dam age appear inconsequential. The raiders always hit a hospital, a beer garden, or a residential area, and miss the munitions works. By way of change, the news dispensers should occasion ally have the foe aiming at the Lutheran church, and hitting the blacksmith shop.

Pride in the knowledge that tnese young men of this community are stepping forth in the vanguard of America's vitally-needed defense effort. Regret that imminent danger to the peace and security of this nation has made necessary this rush to achieve immediate and'adequate preparedness a Btep that takes Medford's two army units for at least a year of intensive training. v IT should be an interesting year for these Medford men, learning the ABC's of modern military meth ods, then the technique of swift-moving mechanized warfare. There are at present a few openings in these two fine Medford companies for eligible young men ! Rigid physical requirements set by the army medi cal board have brought about a number of rejections a tough break for the few who could not qualify an opportunity for those who can, and WILL enter the service of their country in this present emergency. Certainly, a sufficient number of young men will realize before it is too late the obvious advantages of VOLUNTEER service NOW instead of waiting a few weeks for conscription. MEMBERS of this city's recently formed National Defense committee have performed valuable ser vice in the recent National Guard recruiting cam paign which netted 40 recruits. This campaign brought both companies to full strength in time for mobilization into the regular army last Monday. And. through the efforts of this public spirited group, the members of Company A and the Head quarters Detachment will leave for Camp Murray with a sizeable fund subscribed locally. This money will be spent for emergencies and for little "extras" that will make the months of camp life more enjoyable. THESE foi-mer National a At-mir "fflmilita " if vrm Army "regulars," if you did traditions to uphold traditions established by the 0. N. G. in the Spanish-American war, on the Mexican border in 1916 and as part of the Forty-First division during the World War. And, unless we are very much mistaken, these alert young soldiers of Company A and Headquarters Detachment will be ready for any eventualities and will give a good account of themselves should emer gency demand. It is a general hope that such a need may never arise, as far as any general war is concerned. o DY all means, a large and representative group of this community should be on hand Sunday evening at 7 o'clock when Medford's two army units board the train for Camp Murray, Washington. If we have correctly sensed the sentiment of this community, it will be a rousing send-off, a hearty expression of the good wishes we all feel for members of Company A and Headquarters Detachment, third battalion, 180th Infantry from commanding of ficers to buck privates! ' H. G. A Cheering Sign THE rejection of 19 local recruits on physical grounds is bad news; but the announcement of a $200,000 expansion program for the Medford Cor poration (formerly the Owen-Oregon Lumber Co.) ISN'T. In fact, it's very good news, the best in some time. For this means the lumber industry in Southern Ore gon has, after many years of hard work and struggle at last gotten out of the woods, at least the most dangerous part of them. Here is one of our basic and potentially largest industries which has been terribly sick these many years, but now regaining something akin to the rugged health of old. The defense program and increasing wood con struction resulting therefrom may be principally re sponsible, but certainly careful management and im provements in administration and operation have been an important factor. And while the benefits of the defense program will not be permanent, the benefits of the more eco nomical and efficient management will be.

Beverly Hills. Calif. CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME E. E. B. writes: I think your counsel on rabies ia well taken and reasonably developed with one exception. Quoting in part "I fear the possible 111 effects of Pasteur treatment . . . I myself would not take it un der any cir c u m s tances." But If your physician ad vises Pasteur treatment, by all means ac cept hii ad vice." This is equi valent to saying that after con sulting a physician one should never under any circumstances use his own judgment, even If he becomes convinced that the physician is a brainless and pre judiced sap. Possibly you do not share my conviction that there are de grees between the status phy sician and the status god, nor admit that some who never at tended medical school have the rudiments of a brain. (E.E.B. Brain or no brain, I said that was my belief and advice. I, personally, would not take so- called Pasteur anti-rabies treat ment in any circumstances. I am afraid of possible ill effects from such virus and I doubt that it has any remedial value At the same time I believe and advise that if you have a physician at all you should fol low his advice regardless of what you, with your superior intelligence, mav think about it-or else fire the doctor and u,- t k - - tcrnc kiiai gr; ui tuc vase juui- self. If I were bitten or scratched or clawed or otherwise wound ed by animal or bird, whether or not there were any suspic ion of rabies, I'd want the wound immediately treated by a phy sician as any infected wound is treated. I'd want an immediate injection of anti-tetanus serum, and perhaps the second dose of the anti-tetanus scrum (against lockjaw) a week later. That is all the treatment I'd want, no matter whether the animal or bird that bit me was mad or rabid or Just annoyed or play ful. I'd have no medieval attempts at cauterizing my wound with "fuming nitric acid". If the doc tor considered the wound re quired it of course he would im mediately excise the badly in fected or damaged tissue. But no crude cauterizing for mine, thank you, no matter what poli tician thinks "fuming nitric acid" Is the only agent which will "destroy rabies virus". THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER (Continued from Pag One.) Cross and government officials thought it might be possible to persuade the British to lift the blockade for very limited sup plies for children, provided there was strict supervision of the distribution of the food Irt free France. Since the all-out attack on England, officials no longer hold out this hope. An other reason is the report from France that the Germans are appropriating food and supplies from the unoccupied territory. The Vichy government has denied these stories, but the rabies are said to report the transfer of supplies from Free France to the Nazi-occupied. Of course, it is said that these goods have been "sold'' to. and not" seized'' by the Germans, but this explanation has no meaning. When the Germans invaded France, they began to issue practically unlimited quantities of paper currency, which, since the French had to pay for the occcupation, was redeamable in franks. The monetary situation became chaotic. The French had no idea of the amount of the new German currency in circu lation. Finally the French themselves suggested that francs be sup plied directly. This is now being done. In t-t. the whole businrs: of "legal payments", on which the Germans place such em phasis, is a farce. The bank of France has been practically tak en over by the German military command.

Why WahT Recently you said It haa been claimed that some of the benefit from exposure of the bare akin to sunlight Is lost If one bathes or washes with soap and water soon af ter exposure. How long must one wait to wash the skin after a aunbath? (D.J.A.) Answer A week or two would be sufficient. I take little stock in the notion. It Is true that soap and water removes some of the natural akin oil. sebum and does neither the beau ty nor the health of the akin any good. But the conversion of choles terol In the skin Into ergoeterol (vita min D by the ultraviolet rays of sunlight la not affected by washing the skin afterward, in my opinion. Any vitamin D In the sebum that Is w"f aw' "P n1 'tCT culd not be absorbed thru the skin anyway. So wash or bathe as soon aa you like after exposure to the sun. It Is purely a matter of your own comfort or possibly the comfort of those around you. Health It I.Ike Wealth Please give your opinion of the value of the so-called periodic ex amination for ordinary persona past thirty who are In good health. What can such persona gain from an an nual examination by a doctor? ( R.8.W.) Answer Thrift begins with trifles and leads toward contentment. It la not easy to begin saving Just a little when you have plenty. Same with health. I think It Is an ex cellent Investment for any one past thirty who doea not live from hand to mouth to have a general checkup by his physlclsn and whatever spec ial tests the physician may deem ad visable, once or better twice a year, and to follow the suggestions or ad vice the physician offers after the examination Is made.

Calif. the bank Is controlled by Ger. many. ... THE big stake that is being played for by the Vichy gov ernment and Germany, is not food to relieve the suffering in either territory. It is the enor mous French assets in this country that the treasury has frozen. While the fact is not generally known, it is reported that French assets here total about $1,500,000,000. or a siz able proportion of the $4,000 .000.000 of American assets be longing to all the countries that Hitler has conquered. The Vichy government has yet to put the question of re lease of these funds to Secre tary of the Treasury Henry Mor genthau Jr. As of now, there seems no doubt that his answer, with the full approval of the president, would be in the nega tive. Morgenthau and the presi. dent have held long discussions on the problem, and they are as usual in full accord on policy. ... AN IDEA of the strict watch which Morgenthau and the treasury are keeping on this! huge pile of wealth can bci gleaned from the attitude to ward the expenses of the French embassy here. After the treas ury froze the assets, the embassy asked for an unlimited blank check to pay Its expenses, and also the release of funds to pay French diplomat in other coun tries. Morgenthau was agreeable to' releasing some funds, but he re-! quested a budget of the embas- sy's expenses. After this was nrescnted. he freed only enough! for two months' operation, with' LOANS to buy, build, improve HOMES JACKSON COUNTY FEDERAL SAVINGS k LOAN ASSOCIATION 128 EAST MAIN ten per cent added as good will payment. As yet he has re fused to release funds to pay French officials in other coun tries, but he probably will per mi; payments to embassies and legations in South America, al though not elsewhere. The treasury has allowed French assets to be tapped only to pay the expenses of the em bassy, bills due Americans on goods previously delivered to France, and to supply funds for! French nationals who are now living in this couniry. And since a great many informed offic ials believe it Is only a matter oi time until tne nazis com- pletely take over free France. Morgenthau', policy can hard- ly be criticized. Day's rNews - 1t,f at By Frank Jenkins. 'TUESDAY night Is described in today's (Wednesday's) dis patches as a "night of hell" in London nine hours and 54 min utes of terror from the skies. This night of terror was fol lowed up when morning came with five daylight raids in five hours. IV these air attacks on all Eng- land in general and the great city of London in particular, the Germans have two objectives destruction of British air strength and shattering of Brit ish morale. In this program, the Germans have hitherto been wholly suc cessful: beginning in Poland and continuing clear through to France- What England Is getting Is nothing new. It is just BIG GER. pHE Germans have more planes. The British have BETTER planes. What will that mean? You can't tell until afterward. Cen turies ago Britain's opponents had more archers but the Eng lish archers were better; out shooting their enemies, striking them down before their arrows could reach the English bow men. Britain's hope today is that history will repeat Itself. THE air fighter is the modern counterpart of the armored and mounted knight, who reign ed supreme in Europe for cen turies. The English archer first checked the knight with cloth yard shafts that could be stop ped only by a shirt of chain mail. Gunpowder finished his long and romantic career. What will finally check the airplane? Probably more and better planes. "PHE history of warfare deals largely with the story of the ages-long contest between the makers of offensive weap ons and the makers of defensive equipment. Man first hammered swords and spears out of metal, begin ning with copper, going on to bronze and ending with steel. After that came the bow and arrow- The defensive answer was first the shield and then body armor. Through the long centuries increases in the striking power of offensive weapons have been countered by increases in the RESISTING power of defensive armament, which in turn have been answered by new striking power in offense- WHAT the answer to the air " plane (other than more and better planes) will be is not yet clear. The answer to the arm ored ship (first the Confederate Merrimac) was another armored ship, the Union Monitor. That precipitated the long contest between the makers of cannon that would shoot a shell through existing armor and the makers of armor that would resist the shell. EFFORTS to break the enemy's morale are as old as war fare. Primitive savages beat drums, make horrible grimaces and practice tortures on their i"i'in. uitiian scalping was a form of morale breaking. At-, tila the Hun counted upon the terror Inspired by the coming I of his savage horsemen to break down the "will to fight" of his ' intended victims. , There's little that's really!

The secretary treasurer was given a similar increase and salaries of the vice presidents and organizers were tilted to $15,000 a year- When these officials are traveling on union business they will receive $12 a day for hotel expenses and $5 more for incidentals. During the past five years, Dave Beck, labor boss of Se attle, received $96,752.09 for sal ary and expenses, the highest compensation of any of the un ion officials except Tobin and the secretary-treasurer. Tobin's drag was $163,830.67 for the period. In the "goon" cases in Oregon the names of Beck and Tobin were mentioned more than . once, OLD Dan Tobin, who support ed a family of five on $9 a week when he was a wason driver in Boston, is so well thought of by Mr. Roosevelt that Tobin was appointed an executive assistant at the White House (salary $10, 000 a year) a few weeks ago. When the union held its con vention in the national capital last week, Tobin resigned the government job and returned all the salary he had received, mi nus the amount he must pay on it for income tax. It was Tobin who arranged for Mr. Roosevelt to make a political speech to the convention Mr. Roosevelt's bid for the labor vote for a third Dave Bccl. offered a new clause to the constitution, that Tobin can continue to draw full pay (now $30,000 a year) during any time he is serving the country at the call of the President Beck's proposal also would give Tobin power to ap point assistants to carry on his work if he deems it necessary. Tobin is getting no younger, and some of the boys would appreci ate him delegating some of his power. Tobin told the convention that for 30 years he has be?n under microscope and the only em- barrassing moments he has had was when he was afked about the character and private lives of some of the members of his organization. All of which is an Interesting : aftermath of the campaign for law and order by former Gov ernor Charles H.

REPRESENTATIVES from big city districts are planning a drive to force adjournment by the end of this month. These are congressmen from New York, New Jersey and Illinois, where the Democratic political bosses are supporting the third term Early last June the President declared the congress might as well adjourn in a couple of weeks as national defense would not require the presence of con gress in Washington. Since then congress has appropriated almost fifteen billion dollars for defense; authorized the Presi dent to mobilize the national guard, and arranged for a two ocean navy. The European situation hag developed so in recent weeks that many congressmen believe there is more reason for remain ing in session than there was last June when the President hinted for the lawmakers to go home These congressmen do not want to adjourn and leave Mr- Roosevelt in supreme con trol, for if congress adjourns it can not reassemble without call from the President and there would be no congress In session until next Janutry. The agi tation for adjournment comes from administration sources, among others being Sam Ray burn, Democratic leader In the house.
