Anent the costly and mysterl out fires, blasts and accidents besetting and occurring with painful regularity to defense plants and their products, it 1 more than odd that nothing legal or criminal ever happens to a Communist Hall, of which there are too many. They don't even have a flue fire while burning up tha evidence. "An unlimited national emer gency should mean first of all unlimited defense production by e-erybody concerned." (Kan las City Star Fair enough! A new-born rumor hath It 18, 000 telephones will be Installed In Central Point, when and if the army cantonment is estab lished.

News) "I like to go out in the old garage in the early afternoons and wade In my mud puddle. Two buckets of hot water put It In fine condition. And when I roll my pants up to my knees nd step in and feel the mud squash up between my toes it reminds me of days sixty years ago In Kansas, when we used to go wading. I do this two or three times a week. Squash of warm mud between the toes feels fine." A Virginia senator calls upon the President to remove Madame Perkins as secretary of labor, or divorce her office from the power to certify strikes to the mediation board. This Is asking too much, and the best forlorn hope In many a day. News pictures of the meeting of Messrs. Hitler and Mussolini at Brenner Pass shows the two eminent paranolcal runts of Europe, employing both hands In shaking hands. This is Safety First. Neither one will take a chance with one hand free to steal a watch, or stab In the back. "Gasless Sundays" are sug gested by the oil Industry, to conserve the gasoline supply. It seems the nation Is in need of some of the fuel sold to Japan to re-sell to Germany so bomb Ing planes can fly over London ICE TO ICELAND (Pendleton East Oregonlan) "One of the big department stores in Washington has de voted a window to urging Americans to send overcoats to tha British. "The British need overcoats." Around the corner, in another window of the same store. Is a window filled with importations of British overcoats to sell to the American trade. Pedestrian draths so far this rear show a decline over the first five months of last year This Is due to the pedestrian jumping farther and quicker the autoiMs keeping one eye open longer. The Kaiser Is Dead, Long Live-! "THE Kaiser is dead, long live the FUEHRER!" Yes, as ex-Emperor Wilhelm passes away at Doom, the militant nationalistic supremely ego istic spirit he embodied is carried on in the person of an ex-paper hanger with a Charlie uiaplin mustacnei ' So not onlv in western democracies, the NEW world, do great changes occur in the lives of indi viduals. When old social and economic foundations are shattered by revolutionary earthquakes they also occur among the ruins of the old ! IT is quite proper and fitting, therefore, that Per Reichsfuehrer should halt a few moments in transit from the conference with II Duce at Brenner pass, and his General Headquarters, to pay his profound respects to his belligerent and royal predecessor, and see that he is accorded the military honors befitting the leader of World War No. I, who had the great good fortune to depart this life at the apex of German success before the close of World War No. II. YES, whatever the scroll of impartial history may record, and one must wait at least two more decades for that, the Kaiser was a very lucky man. He was able to call it a day at exactly the proper psychological time. For he lived to see the frustrated dream of his own career come true ; he lived to see his one overwhelm ing heart's desire, "Germany Uber Alles" become a reality and far beyond the allotted three-score-and-ten he was able to enjoy his long-delayed revenge. FEW figures in history, indeed, who rose as high as the German Kaiser, and, officially speaKing, de scended so low, ever lived to see so many of their hopes finally realized, departed this life with so little bitterness and so much self-satisfaction. For that "Germany Uber Alles" refrain was the Kaiser's life's theme, and because Herr Hitler appro priated it, and even elaborated it with Nordic trum pets that made again the ancient halls of Valhalla ring, the former Kaiser became not only in spirit but in fact a good Nazi, and so will be acclaimed when the royal funeral march begins. SUCH a situation should certainly dispel what Hiu cinno cf ill ovist rpo-jirrlinp- the social liberalism of the Nazi doctrine, for Per Reichsfuehrer believes in a master-and-slave state precisely as did the last leader of the ancient house of Hohenzollem. The delusion of a new world order, and a better one persists in Central Europe, as it has in Soviet Russia for so long; when in both instances the tyranny of a royal autocracy has been exceeded in its cruelty and oppression by the tyranny of a pagan personal despotism.

THE SCIENCE OF REDUCING el from sen- YES, from the All-Highest to the All-Lowest, fn Emneror to naner hantrer, a dramatic and s sational change in form, but not in SPIRIT. The Kaiser is dead.

Colonial Gravavard Wilmington. Del. IU " A fur gotten Colonial cemetery con tainlng 11 graves has been tin earthed at Wilmington and is be lieved by archaeologists to have been the burial ground of the Alrirh family, a pioneer group in this section. The Perkins Mystery F there has ever been a satisfactory explanation of whv "Madam" Perkins is continued as Secretary of Labor, it has never come to our attention. She is an old and cherished friend of Aire, uoose- velfs but the "First Lady of the Land' has many old and cherished friends, and none of them have been allowed to become hopeless barnacles on the hull of the ship-of-state. She is also a trood friend of the President's, but the rise and fall of F.D.R.'s "good friends" have been an outstanding feature of his two and an eighth terms. So it can't be the personal factor alone that keeps the only "lady cabinet member" glued to her post for lo these many years. What IS it then? ORGANIZED labor doesn't like her, at least a large section of it, and certain Federation offic ials have so expressed themselves. Certainly business, big or little. has no use for the wearer of the black tricorn. And if she had proved to be the most efficient labor representative in recent years, which she cer tainly has NOT, in view of her general unpopu larity and the undeniable loss of public confidence, it would seem only desirable, from the national wel fare standpoint, to regard a two-term reign as suf ficient, and not venture upon a THIRD. In short, in ject some new and preferably non-feminine blood into the extremely important department of labor. DUT there she i?, going her complacent and doc- trinaire way. and in spite of Senator Byrd's various and sundry efforts to dislodge her. it looks as though there she would remain, as long as the Roosevelt administration does. a a IT is all very curious. No President in modern history has had his ear closer to the political ground than the present master of the White House. He must realize Hugh Johnson's "mudum" is politically a lia bility and getting steadily more so as time goes on. Can it be that Mrs. Perkins is so insensitive to the true situation she has never offered to resign, and President Roosevelt hasn't the heart to ask such an old friend of the family to take such action? That seems highly improbable, and yet it is the ionly explanation to make any sense, we have seen. Probably the all-time record is still held by the man who re duced 20 pounds In seven hours in a sweat bath. Ha took the bath walk ing, in the des ert sun, when the tempera ture in the shade was 104 degrees T. In the course of the seven hours he drank 13 pounds, a little more than 1 V4 gal lons, of water, so his net loss amounted to seven pounds. I haven't the actual data to prove it, but I'd be willing to wager ten to one that the man regained the weight so lost with in the succeeding 30 hours. That Is what practically always hap pens when any appreciable loss of weight is achieved by sweat ing the weight of water and salt excreted in the sweat is re placed within the next day or so by increased intake in water and salt. And practically, while we're on the subject, that is all there is in sweat in any cir cumstance or state of health water and salt. Nothing "toxic" or poisonous to speak of or wor ry about. The skin is not an excretory organ and only an in significant amount of waste mat ter, other than water and salt, is ever "thrown off" by the body through the skin, no matter what the state of health or what illness the individual has. Nor does the skin ever "breathe" or require air or oxygen or absorb oxygen or give off carbon diox ide. Romantic legends to the contrary notwithstanding. And finally, at least to the best of my knowledge and belief, the unbroken skin never absorbs anything and please don't send me clippings of items telling of the miraculous new food or medicine which Is administered by merely applying on the skin. Plenty of things, both old time medical concoctions and recent nostrums, are so administered, but that Is not proof that the substance is absorbed thru the skin. If the substance has an odor anyone knows how he is absorbing It. If It has no odor, the unsophisticated customer may believe It is going in thru the skin. A man of sixty, with a bad heart, high blood pressure and divers other pathological condi tions, doesn't believe in the value of a reasonable amount of exercise daily, thinks it is nonsense, drinks, as he Insists, only moderately as I think, even a minimum amount Is in jurious to a person In his condi tion and eats like an honest working man. He keeps piHnc on slacker flesh. When cau tioned about it he says that doesn't worry him, for when he gets time he'll go and have It sweated and massaged off. Well maybe at sixty the poor fellow is reconciled to his fate. But in his attitude towards the need of reducing there is a familiar ring Most men and women who are conscious of encroaching obesity take similar attitude. Cer tainly they intend to reduce and they are going on a diet presently, and that is as far as the good intention goes. It is far more satisfactory from every point of view to remain constantly on a reasonable and not difficult diet than it is to go on a rigid one even for a limited time.

' THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER (Continue Prom Pate One) last two years will be utterly defeated. He will find his niche In history as one of the great failures. And if German victory is as inimical as he and most other informed men suppose, the country will soon be over taken by catastrophe. "TTHESE are obvious facts, as- suming the president's ad visers are correct In their Judg ment of the urgency of the war situation. In the light of them. It is easy to see why all the sec-1 the ondary obstacles to action have ceased to be really important. Giving due weight to the presi dent's penchant for doing a Job the smart way, it is also easy 10 see why the primary obstacle re- mains to be surmounted. If the Germans can only be persuaded to shoot first, then they will have the major share of respon sibility for what follows. Thati is what appears to be in the pre-1 sident s mind. Furthermore, It seems to have co-existed in the president's mind with recognition of the need for prompt action for some time past. As long as two months ago, he acknowledged to the intimates whom he Invited to Join him on his yachting holi day after passage of the lend lease bill, that the war could not be won without American intervention. At the same time he said that he could not Inter vene without an Incident to give him the signal. The two thoughts, mutually Inconsistent though they may seem, still co-exist in his mind today. In the past weeks, he has been repeatedly urged to order immediate action. He has been warned that rtolay was to court disaster. He has been able to act, for all the necessary preparations for meeting the German threat In the battle of the Atlantic have at last been completed. Yet he has not acted, because he hopes to drive the Germans into shooting first. DERHAPS, instead of depend- ing on one simple question the future may depend on two. The men around the president are now united in attempting to persuade him to order action out of hand, without waiting for a pretext. If they fail, if the pre sident's determination is not weakened by the remorseless logic of events, then a second question will have to be answered. Will the president's plan succeed? The problem was mentioned in this space in a recent discus sion of the Atlantic patrol, in which it was pointed out that the president and the men around him privately hope the patrol will produce an incident. The patrol is by no means the only expedient, moreover, which the president has at his disposal. He can take several additional measures to meet the German threat in the Atlantic, perhaps even ordering the navy to under take the task of active shipping protection, but leaving it to the Germans to resist. He can order preventive occupation of the At lantic bases, both north and south. It will be as disagree able to the Germans to find the Americans instead of the British In Iceland, as to find the Amerl cans at Dakar. a DUT the difficulty with all " these expedients, and with the president's basic plan still remains. Because this country has taken each step too late. Britain has now been so weak ened that even If the goods are delivered, the British have too little recuperative power to bear the brunt of the fighting alone. Because this country's active In tervention would mean so much. It is to Germany's advantage to delay it as long as possible, and no one can doubt the German nigh command will do every thing possible to avoid shooting first. The president's plan leaves the Initiative to Germany, which is a mode of procedure that has cursed the democracies from the start of the war. And if the president sticks to his plan and plan fails, the failure will deeply affect not only the Im mediate future, but also tha fate of this country.
