CAN CUPID'S POPCORN (LA. Examiner) "We met a year ago in Honolulu at the opening of a drugstore," she said. "The proprietor was passing out bags of popcorn to visitors. "Well, I stood throwing popcorn Into the air, catch ing it with my mouth when suddenly something cracked me on the side of the head. It was Lieutenant Woody, who had been doing . the same thing." They were married March 1 In Hawaii. An August number of a maga zine is on the newsstands now. On the other hand, another peri odical due each Tuesday for de livery, barely makes it by the next one. The British report Rudolf Hess, the No. 3 Nazi hoodlum who rained down on Scotland In person two weeks ago is "truculent," (ornery to you.) It wouldn't be "cricket" to break him of It. A civic wide-spot in the road fears the coming of an army can tonment will do dire things to these parts, and send the "eco nomic set-up topsy-turvy." There will be nothing like it since a he-beauty of the movies waded In the Rogue, and failed to catch a fish. The French fear America will seize the Island of. Martinique in the Carribbean. The second move will be to send the Mata nuska, Alaska, . colony, estab lished by the New Deal in grand flourish, there.

But just HOW are we defeat does NOT lie in KNOW when fighting world Can either ever be known in fact unless we are willing to take the RISK of THE answer, it seems to this department, is con foinorl in fVio fYacrrrtara own pnnnliisinn that this is not a matter of heroics, It IS. And. that being tine, country to get entirely into this life and death strug gle, or get entirely out. Trvine to eet in half-way. with an "out in reserve as soon as the going gets tough certainly won't work. It is everything or nothing, as we see it. A Guess on Hess AGAIN Mr. Winston Churchill refuses to comment Hess, declaring to Commons he may never comment on it. Why? Does the British better tactics to keep Hitler guessing? Or is the truth about the from an allied standpoint? OUR guess, and it can only be a guess, is there ia iMith in hnth hvnnf Vipapa It IS smart diplomacy to what dynamite there may be in the incident can be exploded with maximum effect, that is before Hitler can build up an alibi for protection. It is also likely that crazier at least than the rest that he has not betrayed or that the purpose of his flight was to stop the war and secure a negotiated peace before it is too late. Bv "too late." we mean, of grandeur lead him to Napoleon and Alexander the Great, and the Ked Giant crouching in the Kremlin springs forth to take control of all Europe. X17E repeat this is only a guess. But it is a guess based upon the probabilities as we see them, that Hess is a fanatical devotee of the Nazi philosophy; that his fear and hatred of Russian communism is genuine ; always inclined to see visions, his latest one is a vision of his Messiah's cruci fixion on the cross of insatiable greed and ambi tion, so : Here was the golden opportunity, as he remarked when he landed in Scotland, to ''save humanity" . . . humanity meaning to Nazi No. 3 German control of western Europe and that only ; the defeat of Russian communism, and the end of the war before the full force of American aid could CINALLY, our hunch is the clinching argument used on Churchill by Hess was that only by agree ing to peace now, can the British Empire be saved from destruction, that not only has the Vichy gov ernment gone over to Hitler but Stalin has given a pledge to assist him, and has been won. Beware of Russia! CPEAKING of Russia there is an interesting article m the June "Harper s ' entitled the "Silent Russian Revolution." We advise those who still retain their illusions about this alleged "democracy of the future" to read it. For Russia is now, and has been since the Finland adventure, on a strict war economy. Everything is subordinated to making Russia ef fective as a military power. e e a a THE new democracy of Trotsky's "red army" has been entirely abandoned. There is no longer an army of workers, but an amy of soldiers. Officers no longer fraternize with their men; they order them about, and hrve the right, granted by Stalin, to shoot as many of them as they wish, without trial or hearing. Militarv orders and medals have been revived. Industry has been geared facture of guns, planes, roads are being constructed and improved, in line with the demands of military operation. Universal and free education has been abandoned ; radical so cial legislation modified: Russia is becoming more and more a highly disciplined and regimented mili tary despotism. IN short, regardless of the menace of communism as a revolutionary and destructive political concep tion; when this World War No. II does end Russia will be a force, and we mean FORCE, to be reck oned with. In foreseeing the true menace of "the bear that walks like a man," perhaps Comrade Hess isn't so crazv after all! Closlna time lot Too Late to claa- Uf Ada is 1 JO p. aa.

The hands of minors may be a c c 1 d entally tattooed by p a r 1 1 cles of carbon lodging under the skin thru punctures or sera tches. U n intentional tattooing has resulted from the use of a mercury con- t a i n t n g "bleach ing cream" and from the use of chloride of Iron solution applied for relief of Ivy poisoning, also from the external application of copperas (iron sulfate, green vitriol) solution for relief of skin inflammation. Gun pow der grains lodged In the skin may be considered accidental tattooing. Tattooing with an escharotic is sometimes the best method of treating moles, port wine stains or xanthoma. Criminal tattooing is the tat tooing of designs on the skin to satisfy a primitive taste for per sonal decoration. It is not a statutory crime to so mutilate the human body, but it should be punishable - both the indi vidual whose body is so muti lated and the individual who per forms the mutilation should be punished. Dangers of this operation by persons without surgical train ing are many. Many cases of syphilis have been transmitted by tattooing. Among the infec tions that may occur are lymph angitis, erysipelas, lockjaw, lep rosy, tuberculosis, chancroid and syphilis. Occasionally the skin becomes accidentally tattooed with whit ish deposits of lead from the ap plication of washes, lotions or solutions containing "sugar of lead" and the use of an eyewash containing lead subacetate has caused similar deposits of lead in the cornea, the window of the eye. The sooner powder grains or other particles lodged in the skin through an accident are re moved, the better the ultimate cosmetic result will be. Such grains or particles of pigment must be patiently picked out with a needle or knifepoint, un der local anesthesia, or if there are too many of them, under general anesthesia. The removal of ..Id powder stains may be effected by elec trolysis with sufficient current (Continued Prom Page One) tons of munitions every day without the slightest accident. From Columbia river the search has extended to Paget sound and a site meeting mo?t of the requirements has been found between Bellingham and Everett, an area of logged-over land isolated and cheap, but where a short railroad would have to be constructed and wharf built for the receiving vessels. War department is still scouting the landscape for an uiih'.bited 40.000 to 30.000 acres not hedged by highways. SPACE for 100 to 150 tons of alsike clover, Oregon rye grass and vetch seed has been engaged in Pacific northwest ships British bound, but along comes the office of foreign agri culture relations (branch of the department of agriculture) and says "No" in a loud voice. I Oregon dealers have these seeds j booked with English buyers who can not obtain import licenses1 and these buyers are swamping the Oregon dealers with cable-1 grams asking for help, although! Oregon seeds are on the British priority list. ; It is considered very Impor tant that these seeds flow in I a steady stream to England and to Ireland (four larie orders from Dublin are undlledi.

Larger mutilations require more drastic treatment, such as the method of Voriot a concen trated solution of tannic acid is tatl6oed in, tnen silver nitrate stick used to rub the whole sur face vigorously. This turns the surface black. In a few days an inflammatory reaction follows, and an adherent dark crust forms. In about two weeks the crust comes away, and the place becomes covered by a superficial pink scar which gradually be omes of normal color. A few months later the scar is only slightly noticeable. I repeat, all of this treatment is reasonably safe only in the hands of the physician or surgeon. Argyria is a slate-colored blu ish pigmentation of skin with silver, from prolonged internal medication with silver nitrate or prolonged external applica tion of argyrol or other silver compounds. The discoloration is permanent, tho injection into the skin of a solution of 1 of potas sium ferricyanide and 6 so dium thioslfate has proved fairly successful in removing the dis coloration in some cases.

TO aid the sheepmen In han dling their wool clip, the gov ernment estimates requirement! for fiscal year 1942 (beginning Jul v 1 this vear) will be 259.- 000.000 pounds. This represents' needs of army, navy, WPA, Red: Cross and any other govern-1 ment agency. This is 15.000.000 j pounds more than werj used in fiscal year 1941 (ending next June 30). What the government announcement did not state, however, was that defense sup plies corporation is transporting and storing 250,000 pounds of Australian wool. Transportation charges and storage on this consir.nmcnt to tal $12,000,000. which is paid for out of the blank check given the president. On May 1 there had come In from Australia 46.860,000 pounds and several cargoes were afloat. The wool belongs to the 'British govern ment. This Australian wool is practically sufficient to meet the needs of the United States government in the coming year. The federal government, so far as known, is not paying trans portation charges and warehouse costs of the wool clip of Oregon.

In The Day's News By Frcnk Jtnkins AS these words are written to day (Thursday) the battle of Crete is still in doubt German parachute troops, drifting down in ever-increasing numbers from the sky, have gained two footholds on the 160-mile-long island. The German job Is to hold and REINFORCE these points. The British-Greek Job is to wipe out the invaders before ade quate reinforcements can ar rive. THERE Is an ominous note in the London disclosure that RAF fighter planes were with drawn from Crete Tuesday be cause of the "pronounced dis advantage of operating from the few airdromes on the island un der incessant Stuka dive-bomb ing attacks." It Is the old story of German superiority in the air. THE Germans are attacking by water as well as by air. Churchill announces in Lon don "A convoy of 30 vessels was discerned this morning by our naval forces and presum ably attacked, although our in formation stops at that point. The British navy is in full action around Crete, hotly at tacked by the Germans from the air. The Germans claim to have damaged one battleship and six cruisers. WE can't implicitly believe the German claims, of 'course, but it is beginning to look like the long-talked-of test between naval and air forces. If the Germans are able to weaken the British navy by air attack, look for what remains of the Italian navy to come into the fight. Maybe also the French. If the Italians STAY OUT, It will be safe to guess that the British navy hasn't been dis astrously weakened by air as sault. THIS Mediterranean area is an ancient cockpit, where men have fought since time began It is seeing something new. In all its countless centuries of fighting, it has never before witnessed an attempt to take an island from the air. THERE Is a significant note in the news. The British gar rison on the Island of Cyprus has been strongly reinforced by Australian and New Zealand troops. Cyprus will be NEXT. THE air today . (Thursday) is full of rumors as always when a great battle is on. There is a disturbing one from Vichy to the effect that German war materials are mov ing steadily by rail THROUGH TURKEY. That would indicate (if true) : that the Turks have been bluffed. PROM La Linea, In Spain, comes a report that the Brit ish are forcibly removing civil ians and foreigners from 0--' raltar. The Implication is that the long-awaited German attack on the western gate of the Med iterranean' is near. AND reports from German oc cupied Paris say the French forces in the Caribbean island of Martinique have received orders from Vichy to prepare for an AMERICAN attack. The Paris newspaper Le Matin (The Morning) says the defense of Martinique will be centered around the fortress containing the gold reserves of the Bank of France (sent there when the French gave up) and that the defenders will blow up the stronghold as a last resort. French warships at Martinique have been warming up for sev eral days. The war, you see. Is getting steadily closer to us. Communications Army Not Needed, Navy Is To the editor: In Sunday's editorial you maintain that some competent authority ought to answer the charge made by Hoover that this nation is not prepared r.thcr industrially or In a mili tary sense to wage war. I do not claim to be such an au thority, but I was not aware that there was either doubt or conflict on that point. I thought it was well known and admitted that the army was neither well enough trained or equipped, or even large enough for effective warfare, but that our navy is the best afloat, and according to Secretary Knox It is ready for Immediate action. No better minority lhn that is needed. We -ire also told frequ"'-''v and on good authority that the most pressing task Is to keep' the Atlantic shipping lanes open. Certainly no program of preparedness can neglect tne creation of an enormous ton nage of shipping. Perhaps that is the most vital thing of them all. And how can that tonnage be increased if ships are sunk as fast as they are replaced. It is highly important to save every ship for they are precious. The army would be useless for this task. What is needed is a navy, and we have one. It should be used. I respect Hoover for his sin cerity and becau; he is a great American, and thee is reason in much that he says. But he is like anyone else an ex-official and so critical of his suc cessor. Men are like that, so we must make allowances for it. Lloyd George's criticism of Churchill is comparable. Hoover is like some other opponents of intervention. He assumes that naval action necessarily means troop action beyond our state of preparedness. But that can not be. Certainly we cannot send abroad armies greater than cur power to equip or maintain. The shortage of shipping would see to that. When we have the ships to maintain armies abroad, we will have both armies and equipment. . If unpreparedness is justifi cation for non belligerency, then what of England. She is not fully prepared either. No one is prepared and who will hold the enemy in check until we all get ready to fight. That might be worth thinking about. There is only one honorable course to follow. We should em ploy every means at hand to check tha military progress of Germany and employ it as ex tensively as possible. This means the use of our navy and as much of our army as is trained and we can equip and maintain. More than that we cannot do. Certainly we should do no less. C. F. Davies. Rte. 3, Medford, Ore.
