There is no use talking this city and county has a fine sense of rumor. Anent the proposed "Casless Sundays" to conserve gasoline comes the word this nation is ex porting 1,500,000 barrels of It to Japan per month. By people keeping out from behind the steering wheels, and staying on their lawns on the Sabbath, the exports should jump to 2,000,000 barrels month in no time. ... The combination of a picnic, and much hay down resulted in the usual rain, and threats thereof. . An Illinois court has ruled a scion of wealth will have to struggle along as best he can the fiscal year starting July 1 on a measly $282,800. WHY THE WAVES A HE WILD (Astoria Astorian-Budgat) "While everybody is shout ing about Seaside's prospects for a howling summer success in resort business, on down the road a spell the good peo ple of Cannon Beach, nestled betwixt Tillamook Head and Arch Cape, are quietly prepar ing for their own private lit tle nervous breakdown." A dispatch from Washington. D. C. says a quiet but relentless campaign to revive prohibition as a military measure Is under way. The people have enough to fret about without the added worry of when the home-brew on the back porch will blow up. A labor leader (CIO) defies the mediation board request for millhands to return to work in Washington state, and in a plane factory strike in California, the same union graciously allows the army to cross the picket line and remove nine completed planes. There seems to be a need, before America takes over world management, to find out what's going on at home, and who is running the government. It looks like somebody besides the Vichy regime is collaborat ing with the Ax's powers. CLEAR AS MUD (SF. News) "Note: Due to a mlxup In makeup, the Tuesday paper carried Thursday's cross-word punle.

(Am. Mercury.) Vancouver, B. C. (UR) The music of the future will be a combination of serious music and Jazz according to Duke El lington, Negro orchestra leader and composer, who was In Van couver this week. "Each has al ready influenced the other," El lington said Is Hitler Lying Again? THE Oregonian has a very interesting front page spread today entitled "Exclusive Hitler In veighs Against Convoy." The story is an authorized interview by former Ambassador Cudahy, with Der. Reichsfuehrer at Berchtesgaden. The Nazi leader flatly denies any predatory interest whatever in the western hemis phere; ridicules the claim he plans an armed invasion of America if and when Britain falls; and assures the former U. S. ambassador to Belgium that in the event of a Nazi victory, the United States will not suffer economically in the slightest. TJITLER also declares that to "convoy means war," although he does NOT say that if the United States DOES convoy to Britain, Germany WILL de clare war, the Nazi "all-highest" prefers to leave that vital question in the nebulous realm of interna tional law, declaring all authorities agree that escort ing war materials to any enemy is a "warlike act," an exhibition of restraint on Der Fuehrer's part which may or may not be significant VES, a most INTERESTING story, and if conditions were only different, what might be an epoch making one. But conditions are not "different," and this department will be greatly surprised if this pro nouncement, direct from the Fuehrer and via a most trustworthy source, momentous as it is, changes the course of world events one iota. Why? Because those who have the power to change that course won't believe a word the Nazi leader says. Why should they Herr Hitler is in the unfortunate position of the boy who cried "wolf!" when no wolf was there. So when the wolf did come, and the lad emitted the familiar cry no one believed him. The poor little boy, if we recall correctly, was promptly eaten! And that, we fear, will be Adolf's fate, at least as far as any success in avoiding war with the United States by this reassuring utterance is concerned. FOR no one will believe him. In the same fashion Hitler reassured Britain and France at Munich, declaring he had no further interest in Europe as far as conquest was concerned, only to be followed in a few weeks by the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and not very long thereafter the invasion of Poland. Hitler solemnly told the world, at another time, he had nothing but the friendliest feelings toward England and France, they should, in fact, join him in opposing the red menace from the east, the un speakable Stalin-, "the bear that walks like a man." Less than 20 months later he signed a pact of undying friendship and cooperation with Stalin, and was at war with both of his alleged "friends!" So in view of that record, which is far from complete, how CAN anyone believe what Der Reichsfuehrer says now, when it is so obvious that if he can only somehow, someway "appease" the United States at this critical moment, his complete victory over Britain and Europe is won. IT is too bad. In international relationships, it can be nothing else, at any time, but tragically so at this particular time, when the word of the leader of any great nation can't be relied upon. But that is the inescapable truth. And not only as far as Nazi Germany is concerned, but Italy, Japan, Soviet Russia, all the totalitarian powers. Iruth is in none of them I o a YES, it's too bad, TRAGICALLY so ! But there are joiib, anu jiu icii-ui oi'liis in jiiiuu, ll 19 doubtful if even the wishful-thinking ostrich could dodge them. What should we do paper's judgment the only NOW is to FACE them. Face them, and do EVERY THING THAT NOW CAN BE DONE, to prevent this "good earth" from becoming a world in which the truth, yes, and it's hand maidens, good faith and fair dealing, HAVE NO STANDING! Even if He Isn ' "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again; The eternal years of Cod are hers; But error, wounded, writhes in pain. And dies among his worshippers." 'Til AT familiar quatrain from Bryants "Battlefield" is always reassuring. And in spite of certain superficial evidence to the contrary, most people, we believe, retain a strong faith in it. Truth crushed to earth WILL rise again. And this department retains a sufficient breadth of view to concede the possibility that when it DOES Hitler's denial of any intention to invade the United States may even be a portion of it. TTHAT is not probable, but it is, as we view it, 1 POSSIBLE. Not only do a great many well-informed Americans like Lindbergh believe it. but only three or four months ago three members of the Army & Navy club in Washington told the present writer that was their best and considered judgment. So it may be true. And if it were true there is little doubt it would influence the policy of the present administration profoundly. For the Roose velt administration would never consider out and out war with Hitler, if not convinced that his victory would be a DIRECT and vital threat to I'ne safety and security of the United States. But that is just the trouble.

THEY'RE According to a widely circu lated news items, a draftee in New England had a complete a complement or mastic a 1 1 n g machinery and not a wee cav- ity In t h e mouthful. H e frankly admit ted he had never brushed 'em, although several other mem b e r s of his family reg ularly brushed theirs and had the usual quota of cavities and missing teeth. The young man with the 32 sound teeth had always eaten whatever he liked. That was that. Some readers will recall that a considerable colony of people who inhabit the islands Tristan da Cunha in the south Atlantic a thousand miles west of Cape of Good Hope were in the news three or four years ago because they all have such fine teeth. Old and young, examined by a representative of the Cape Col ony dental society, had extra ordinarily sound teeth, and none of the inhabitants had ever used a toothbrush. Among 156 of the inhabitants examined by the dentist, 131 of all ages from childhood to 8 years, had teeth entirely free from dental decay. And in 1932 Surgeon Comman der Sampson, after the first medical inspection carried out by H. M. S. Carlisle, that the physique of the islanders was good, in spite of constant inter marriage in such a small com munity. Among the children he could find no evidence of rick etsand in the sunniest region of the United States a majority of children show signs of rick ets. The diet customary among the inhabitants of the "isles of contentment" explains, I think, not only the freedom of the children from rickets but also the soundness of everybody's teeth nobody on Tristan da Cunha uses toothbrush or denti frice. The diet consists of pota toes ahd other vegetables such as they can grow, fish, sea-bird eggs, milk they have cows which they use solely for milk, butter, cheese, not for meat. They have some sheep, for wool, and only at Christmas or other festive occasions are any sheep slaughtered for meat. Potatoes, (Continued From Pago One) Diego to the Bremerton navy yard. Union officials or others In charge of west coast strikes are known communists not all. but enough to cause discord. Com munists, as labor leaders, have come to the national capital and appeared before the committee investigating un-American activ ities and complained against west coast employers and, on cross-examination, have been revealed as registered commu nists. This within the week. Dies committee has the name of a communist who was sent to the west coast to tie up air craft production. He appeared at the Boeing Seattle factory after the Vultee strike In Cali fornia. There is a reason why half a dozen workmen were ousted from the navy yard on Puget sound last week. A FORMER OGPU agent who wrote a book and is now tip for deportation (if he had not written the book and made his public confession his presence in this country would not be known), has testified that three years or so ago the communists established a flourishing propa ganda club in Portland: another in San Francisco, and several on the Atlantic coast. This was during the period that a "red squad " of the police department in Tortland was checking on communists and fellow-travelers until a cry was started that the squad was interfering with civil liberties. The club for propa ganda in Portland was disestab lished when orders came that it had accomplished Its mission, but that was after the "red squad'' had been discredited. It all adds up that many gov ernment officials at last view with suspicion the epidemic of strikes on the Pacific coast which have crepped to the sur face from tin British Columbia Q4 I AT AtHE Brady M. D. HOT HALF BRUSHED milk, cheese, eggs, and such fresh vegetables as they can grow, together with whole grains when supplies are brought by occasional vessels sometimes as long as a year from the visit of such a supply ! ship to the next arrival of grain. The large per capita consump tion of milk which provides not only the most assimilable form of calcium and phosphorus for teeth, bones, nervous tissue, etc., but also considerable vita min D and vitamin A, as well as vitamin C, as the cows have plenty of grass accounts for the marvelous teeth and the freedom from rickets of the people of Tristan da Cunha, I believe. These observations, however, have no weight with the great Yankee Wiseacre population. What appeals to their intelli gence is an anonymous note such as the following quoted from a "health" magazine: "Improved oral hygiene would result if efforts were made to overcome the present lax attitude of many people who place dependence on the dentifrice rather than on the thoroughness with which the oral cleaning is done." So that's it! After all these years of scrubbing it does seem a bit rough on people to tell 'em now that if they had only scrubbed more thoroughly they might have saved their teeth! QlEfcTIONS AND ANSWERS The Bunk Would like to know the merit of exercises to strengthen the eyee, to avoid wearing glasses for defective vision. (L. M. F.) Answer Such eye exercises are harmless, possibly beneficial In aome Instances, but X advise you to wear the glasses your eye physician pre scribes, to prevent eye-strain, while you try out the exercises If your phy&tclan sanctions them. Bite Bark Child 2i years old has habit of biting whenever he can't have his own way. Have tried biting back, spanking, ecoldlng, shaming, putting to bed without effect. (Mri D. V.

Scolding, shaming and biting back are wrong. (Protected by John r. DlUe Co.) Ed Note: Persons wishing to rommunlrale with Dr. Brady hould send letter direct to Or. William Brady. M D 265 El Camlno. Beverly Hills. Calif. line to the Mexican border in California. First the strikes were crippling the aircraft in dustry, then the shipyards, then the lumber industry, and there have come reports that Bonne ville may not be immune. The two major aids to the British are ships and planes on the west coast, and here is one of the delays in production. ANOTHER matter the govern ment has discovered is that com munist union leaders have held a meeting at which plans were proposed for a general strike up and down the coast. It was- pro posed as a demonstration of pro test in the event that Harry Bridges, alien labor leader, should be ordered deported back to Australia, his birthplace provided Australia would accept him.

Not mere pleasure, but permanent, thorough happi ness, which takes hold of life and lifts it to new planes. This may come without riches or power or the things that are considered Important in a ma terial sense. Happiness is really a form of beauty within us. If encouraged it grows rapidly and influences others making them joyous too Beauty in ourselves comes in response to beauty from with out. This is why the colorful gardens and classically deco rated homes are so important in building our happiness. When our environments are created by ourselves we naturally take more interest in them. They are, in a sense, part of our very being. Those who have not ex perienced this way of living can never know the indescribable joy of it. There is nothing so completely satisfying in bring ing happiness as living in the I midst of natural and created beauty, especially when you can feel that you have brought it about with your own hands. This indeed is one of the su preme achievements. MINNIE L. STICKEL, Phoenix, Ore. Aid Planting Vinita, Okla.
