The British economist the fellow who thought up the plan to end the depression by every body going broke has hatched another idea, vir.: "Compulsory saving" to finance America's war costs. The army and navy If and when, will have enough to do without making people save who don t want to. ... ' The summer practice of small boys, now noticeable in these parts, rampaging . around with their shirt-tails out has been circumvented by an Atlanta, Ca., schoolma am, whose late is still in doubt, as the parents and school board are still to be heard from.

(Oakland (Calif.) Trib une) Corroboration of the "Ham & Egg" vote a few years back. The Presidents "War Speech THE effect of a speech or anything else depends very much upon what one expects. If one expects a great deal and gets little, one is naturally keenly disappointed. If one expects little and gets a great deal, one is just as naturally pleased and delighted, . WITH this in mind, and also the fact that for manv woolra tha "tiro anAonli" U. President Roosevelt last night had been given a build-up and ballyhoo unequalled since F.D.R.'s in augural, the broadcast that was to shake the world was, to this department, a great disappointment, . MOT once but several times, "Steve" Early, the President's capable Secretary, had told the news paper men that Tuesday night's official declaration would make their hair curl, that if anyone had any doubts as to just where this country stands in World War No. II, those doubts would certainly be removed. ana yet, I7HAT doubts WERE removed? War No. II? We have an idea most radio listeners waited for the symposium of experts to tell them. just what the .President had said, but, tven the experts couidn t acrree, Except on the fact an "unlimited national emer gency had been declared, when everyone knows a great emergency has existed for at least six months. But the point is what precisely does the President expect to uv, under this "unlimited emergency?' WILL he employ armed convoys to better insure Will he employ the U. S. fleet or air force in the battle of the Atlantic? Will he enter the war by forceably seizing the French West Indies, or the Azores? What will be done in the Pacific? Is the country prepared to become an active bel ligerent in this world shattering conflict NOW; or can we De or greater service to the cause of world liberty and decency by rivine Britain everv aid. and keeping out of the war for the time being ourselves. AGAIN how about our own war time production? iicojumi, rtuicu ouin.es, sinites 01 capital against capital (whatever that means) and capital against labor, also labor against capital, condemn ing them all, which deserved a round of applause, but none was forthcoming. (In fact, in no presidential radio address before has there been such a cold and unresponsive audience). Does that mean the President, with the added powers involved in his emergency declaration, in tends to declare an embargo on strikes "for the dura tion?" Does it mean his endorsement of the Vinson anti-strike bill? Or does it only mean another execu tive gesture as a concession to the popular indigna tion war-time labor profiteering has caused? MOW we grant, for reasons of public policy, at such a critical time as this. President Rnnspvplt couldn't divulge all the government's plans in detail, or even in certain directions be too explicit. But the time had come for plain talking, for as-1 owning a uireci, unequivocal, clear-cut leadership, and as the President himself said in the first part of his speech, indulge no more in wishful thinking, or vague generalities, but boldly and realistically FACE THE FACTS. JUST what facts, however, WERE faced? The dangers of Hitlerism, the ungodliness of com munism, the fact that Britain is losing more sea ton nage than England and the United States combined can build, the dire threats of Mein Kampf, the eco nomic dangers to the Americas, if the Axis wins, etc., etc. These facts have not onlv bppn known Vint Kaon broadcasted repeatedly for months, some for years, in fart ! Why repeat them now? THE facts the people wanted, and from the prelimi- naijr uuuu-u nan every reason to expect, could be included under the general heading of "What are we going to do about it?" first and foremost, are we goine into this war. or are we going to stay out? for many months this paper has felt we were already in the war. dointr evervthino- in nm nmv to defeat Hitlerism, the only excuse for not becoming PAREDNES oeing our general UNrKE- There was also the resulting fact that wo rntilri aid the cause of democracy more effectively by giv ing all-out aid to Britain, than havintr to nrenai-P our. selves for possible attacks on our Atlantic, and per- naps uisu our x acme, coasts. IS that the truth or isn't it? One can search the Presi dent's "war speech" in vain for any light on the question, implied or direct So it is not surprising, The long-heralded speech by our Third Termj rresKient, to tnis column at least, was a great disap pointment. It not only failed completely to live up to advance notices issued from the White House: it i. ...... An etiquette expert reports a dollar should never be thrown on a counter in making a pur chase."

PREVENTION Of SCARRING Every one knows how import ant it is that surgery for the correction of such cosmetic faults as outstanding ears, droop- 1 n g eyelids, bags or sacs under the eyes, hump nose or saddle nose, harelip and the like shall be most skill ful and the preparation of the patient and the aftercare most palnstak ing, in order to insure what doctors call "healing by first intention" the ideal healing and the minimum of repair ma. terial used in the mending and hence a minimum of permanent scarring. Ah, but so many who under stand this in relation to plastic, sculptural or cosmetic surgery lose sight of it when the heal ing of accidental wounds, burns or other injuries is concerned, altho the fundamental healing process and the chance or haz ard of scar formation is the same in all instances. The healing of any wound burn or injury, from the most trifling puncture, scratch or abrasion to the wound of a ma jor operation or amputation, whether the healing process is by first intention or by the more tedious and difficult "sec ond intention" or granulation accompanied with more or less redness, inflammation, crust or scab formation and suppura tion (pus formation). In any case there is first bleeding into the wound, then gradual con version of the blood clot into scar tissue sufficient to cement the edges of the wound togeth er or to serve as trellis or scaf folding for the granuialions if the wound is to heal by second intention. Note well that more or less of this scar tissue which is composed of fibers and elastic material, with no cells or or ganic structure to replace the damaged tissue or organ which is being repaired necessarily forms in every wound, no mat ter what its nature or degree. Therefore the prevention of un sightly or crippling scar depends on the science and skill with which the primary wound or injury is treated. Burns, wounds or injuries about the face should have the best surgical treatment avail able, from the moment of the injury until healing is complete. The time to insure the Ideal "healing by first intention" is when the first aid or emergency treatment is given or as soon thereafter as the necessary skilled service may be avail able. Unfortunately for many vic tims of the idea there is a popu lar belief that certain salves or other local remedies will pre vent scar. Some of the peculiar remedies the old wives suggest for the purpose may do no harm except to prevent or postpone the necessary skilled treatment, but others are directly respons ible for Irritation which retards the natural healing and hence causes Increased scar formation. The healing of any burn, wound, boil, sore or injury nec essarily involves scar formation. The amount of scar and the chance of disfigurement may be kept at a minimum only by skilled surgical care from the earliest possible moment.

Kelly's Comment From Washington OPM Practices Discrimination Northwest Hit By Ship Orders Study of Tuna Will Be Sought By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, May 27 By coming into the Columbia river from the Philippines or the Dutch East Indies, steamers can save $18,000 to $20,000, in stead of discharging in San Fran cisco or Los Angeles. These economies, however, are not in teresting to the Office of Produc tion Management or the United States maritime commission. The matter is of very great import ance to the ports of Portland, Tacoma and Seattle and to the northwest congressional delega tions. It has to do with the stock piles being accumulated by the bovernment, tha tin, rubber, chrome, hemp, etc , being brought to the United States from the Philippines. Batavia and other points on the rim of the Pacific. These cargoes are being sent only to San Francisco and l.cs Angeles, the two polris of discharge on the west coast. Designation of point of discharge is made by OPM. with some ad vice from the maritime comniis lon the commission telling car go carriers where the raw ma terial should be unloaded. It works like this: S S. Silver Java, which makes Columbia river and Puget Sound, is be ing pulled off and is told to load In Dutch East Indies, discharg ing at San Francisco. From San' Francisco the freighter proceeds in ballast to the northwest, load ing with flour for the Orient Other lines with somewhat sim ilar orders are the Waterman. Matson. Luckcnbach and Isth mian. They discharge the stock pile" freight in a California port and take on wheat, lumber and flour in the northwest. THIS proced-.ire is detriment al to northwest terminals and I means loss of labor, warehous- Ing and rail transportation j Partly responsible are the high er-up officials who imagine that the California ports are closer to the Far East than the Colum bia river. Their knowledge of the great circle route, used by shipping out of the Pacific northwest, is a complete blank and they never examined a map of the Pacific ocean or talked to a west coast shipper. It is this great circle route which places Portland, Tacoma and Seattle in a most advantageous position. It is a shorter run and consequent ly offers a substantial saving on fuel and other incidentals of operation, estimated around $18,000 to $20,000, depending on fuel consumption. The route is hundreds of miles less than either San Francisco or Los Angeles. j Because of the cargoes being piled up on California wharves the railroads leading out of San Francisco and Los Angeles are congested. The traffic is in a mess. Terminal operators of the northwest point out there are four transcontinental lines to the east from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, sufficient to han dle the incoming cargoes with out inconvenience. Also there is dock space for storing much of the raw materials pending move ment east. ... WHAT this business means can be gathered from orders placed by the Metals Reserve company (federal agency). From the Far East tin has been or dered in the amount of $168, 000,000. Antimony, tin and wolframite from China repre sents $90,000,000. Manganese from the Far East, $20,533,000. Chrome ore from the Philip pines, $4,039,000. All of this business is going not to the northwest (traffic and terminal men of Portland, Tacoma and Seattle are making a common fight in this instance), but to terminals in San Francisco and Los Angeles. There appears small chance j for the northwest to pry loose i any of this trade. Admiral Land, chairman of the maritime torn l mission, explains to the sena-! tors that it is a very difficult problem and lets it go at that. ... CHIEF of the fish and wildlife service. Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson confesses that all he knows of albacore tuna is that there is a run off the Oregon coast and that it is mighty fine eating. To make up for this lack of infor mation on a valuable industry to Astoria, Senator McNary will request an appropriation of a research, providing Dr. Gabriel son's estimated sum is not too great. Gabrielson says the alba core may have been offshore al ways and might still be there, unknown to fishermen but for an accident. Where these fish come from, where they go, where they spawn is a closed book to the fish experts. It is known that a few have been caught off Sitka and that they are not caught in California waters. And that, in substance, sums up all the knowledge of the scientists . . . The news has been kept more or less quiet, but investigators for the gov ernment project at Bonneville have discovered commercial alumite, or bauxite, in south western Oregon . . .
