It is nearly eight years since repeal, , and there Is not a half dozen men In the county who know how to pour liquid out of a keg effic iently. Today let us take up the pro nunciation of the word "canton ment," which Is stumping some of the best minds and smoothest tongues of these parts. The local linguists are divided between "cahn-tawn-ment" and "can-toon-ment." They are backed up by Noah Webster, dictionary build er, they say. The other school, a great number who have been In one, call it "can-tone-ment." They disagree with Noah. In the army the word in dis pute is known as a "camp" by the troops, who, when the time comes to go back to It, call it that (ixzhvi!! Second loots acting smart among civil ians, designated it as the "reser vation." One half the camp was known aa the "upper camp, and the other as the "lower camp." All roads were called "streets, whether or not they bore any resemblance to one. In the navy, similar condi tions prevailed, except, in a lump, it was called the "yard," and also divided Into halves. The half nearest Podunk was called the Podunk Gate, and the section nearest Pumpkinville was called the Pumpkinville Gate. When the soldier was away from "camp," he was "on leave." A sailor out of the yard was "on liberty." But the two branches of the service had one thing in com mon. Each called the command ing officer "The Old Man" when out of earshot. To end the pronunciation dis pute there should be a compro mise. The place should be called the can-tawn-toon-tone-ment. It Is no grea strain on the vocal organs, takes in all factions, and sounds like a Chinaman saying something nice.

' A War of Surprises IF wars, like individuals, follow out certain dis tinctive character patterns, then Hitler is due for the beating of his life in this Russian conflict t or the Second World been a war or surprises, particularly for the so-called military experts. Look over the files of ana you will rmd, for example: Hitler wouldn't invade Poland and risk a world war. If he did, Poland would prove a tough nut to crack. Germany did invade Poland and Poland Crumbled in two weeks. Hitler wouldn't dare Invade Norway with Britain In control of the seas; It would be suicidal. Germany invaded Norway and mastered the country In a little over a month. What? A Nazi invasion of Holland? Absurd. The in vading forces would be drowned like rats. Holland was Invaded and it was all over in less than week. But Francel Why, there was the impregnable Maglnot line, let the Nazis try that, they would be wiped out. The Nazis tried It, and breaking through the impregnable Maginot line, conquered France and sent the British forces scurrying back home, leaving behind practically all their mechanized equipment. The war ended at this point, according to the same . experts. They unanimously declared a year ago Hitler would conquer England in another four weeks. The conquest not only failed to coma to pass, but England has grown steadily stronger ever since. And so one might continue through the Balkans to Greece, and Crete, in the war experts said one thing and Hitler did another, with unvarying success. . lITH such a background it perhaps wasn't strange 11 that when Hitler declared war on Soviet Russia last Saturday, the experts again went into a huddle and again with surprising unanimity declared Russia couldn't last more than five or six weeks. AHnlf liarl always won before; he would, of course, this time.

Poison oak is a bush four or five feet high. but sometimes it grows as a vine like ordi nary poison ivy. Poison oak or poison ivy leaves are long stemmed, have three leaflets, two of the leaflets opposite and short stalked, the middle leaflet having a long stalk. The leaflets are notched on one side. The leaf. lets are from one to four inches long, dark green on upper sur faces, lighter and often velvety with fine hairs on the under surfaces. Harmless woodbine or Vir ginia creeper, often mistaken for poison oak or poison ivy, has leaves with five leaflets. poison sumac grows as a shrub with several slender clus tered stems or sometimes as a tree 20 or 30 feet high with a trunk several inches in diam eter. Its leaves seven to 14 Inches long and have from seven to 13 leaflets arranged in opposite pairs with one leaflet on a long stem at. the end. In early spring the leaves of poison sumac have a bright orange color and have velvety hairy surfaces underneath, but when mature the leaves are dark green and glossy underneath. Poison sumas has flowers and fruits similar to those of poison ivy and oak. All three plants may take a beautiful golden red color in late autumn when all foliage is turning color, but it is not at all satisfactory as a decorative plant. Some poison ivy is lowdown and cowardly, sneaking up on you in the tall grass to reach out and brush your feet as you blithely mow the lawn barefoot around your lakeside shack. One who must necessarily be exposed to poison ivy may en Joy considerable protection by smearing the exposed skin with ordinary lather, or with ordi nary grease of any kind, or with a vanishing cream containing 10 per cent of sodium perborate before coming in contact. Wash this away with soap and water, repeated rinsings, as soon as exposure is over. By Frank Jenkins TTODAY'S (Thursday's) most important war news which may or may not be true: The Russian army reports that German armored forces (the dreaded panzer divisions) have been "nipped off" in deep pene trations of soviet territory. That, If really got away with, would be something. TTHE German technique has been to batter through the enemy line with tanks supported by dive bombers acting as long range artillery and followed by armored trucks carrying infan try. These armored columns have then penetrated deep into enemy territory, surrounding, cutting off and ultimately capturing whole armies. It was in this manner, as you will doubtless recall, that the Germans GOT BEHIND the French Maginot line and rendered it helpless. It was thus that they split the French and British armies off from each other In Belgium and northern France. You wl" mrely remember the puzzled amazement with which a year ago the whole world was watching these thin German columns ranging thru France, expecting them to be cut off from the rear and annihi lated. They never were cut off. They haven't been cut off since in , any similar operation. THE R have ussians claim today to done what nobody has been able to do before. They say. that is. that in the fighting in Lithuania masses of L .rmJ. trP REFORMED THE LINE after the German armored column had broken through, thus rutting it off from its rear. i There has been no report as these words are written as to what has happened to the Gcr man units thus cut off. t 1 . In The . Day's . News ; OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 27. 1941. Brady M. O. AROUND THE CORNER Emergency remedies for Ivy poisoning are many. These have proved satisfactory in general experience. 1. Apply wet dressings of 10 per cent solution of sodium thio sulfate formerly called hypo sulphite of soda, the chemical photographers call "hpyo"). - 2. Dressings kept moistened with saleratua in water or borax in water afford some relief. 3. Sop on the affected por tions of skin equal parts, of tincture of Iron ; chloride and water. 4. Bathe first with alcohol, then with 10 per cent solution of tannic acid in water. 8. Bathe with sour milk or buttermilk. 6. Apply compresses kept wet with strong tea. An injection of poison ivy toxin by the physician often brings relief within 24 hours. Sometimes a second dose is advisable after 24 hours. qtESTIONg AND ANSWERS Riboflavin Leading pbyalclan suffered from gradually Increasing eye Inflamma tion, could not stand too. light.

If the red army has found a way to stop these German pan zer thrusts, it is a lot better than anybody can yet believe it is. WEDNESDAY the Germans " spoke mysteriously of suc cesses "baffling the imagination1 and intimated that details of these successes might be dis closed today. Thursday the German high command's whole report on the Kussian war reads: "In the east, operations on land and In the air continued on schedule yesterday. After decis ions fell In our favor in numer ous border battles, successes in operations of great dimensions are beginning to show them selves." That is restrained comment. It might mean anything.

Kelly's Comment riosa Washington Small Industrie Fel War Pinch No War Business For Small Firms Ang ell See Need For U.S. Cemetery j Joha W.'Kallr - Washington, June 27. Al ready 10 industries in the coun try are drying up because of in ability to obtain material. The creeping paralysis is spreading and insider of OPM are pre dicting that one third of all in dustries must close, throwing out of work thousands of em ployes. The small business man is facing extermination until af ter the duration. Very frankly the men who are looking after production say that even in the United States it is impossible to produce munition and consumer goods, and as between the two munition must come first and consumer goods suffer. An industrial "biackoul" of 30 per cent of shops and a crippling of all the remainder, except those engaged in war work, is inevitable, according to Defense Contract Service. With out a war order it is Impossible to obtain a score or more of metals, or machine tools, rubber, etc. If a sawmill breaks a saw Its replacement is almost impos sible. The same is true of leather belts used in mills and shops. Small businesses in Ore gon have begun to feel the strangle hold of the priority system and there will be a gen eral tightening up on supplies until one after another must close. e e SMALL business, which has built up America through com petition, is being pushed to the wall because small business is not receiving war contracts. The big fellow have either received the major contracts or the gov ernment has . built plants and nirea tne big fellows to operate them. There has been almost no disposition on the part of the prime contractors to farm out any work to the small plants. This applies to ship contractors in Portland and for a time it applied to Boeing and other plane factories until the govern ment stepped in and sent air plane engines to other factories, gadgets to others, and the Boe ing plant Is practich'.y an assem bly concern. Try to get a sheet metal subcontract in the Port land shipyards. Bill Knudson and the other higherups are urging that con tract be farmed out; are declar ing that not more than 50 per cent of the production resources of the nation are being used for defense orders, but despite the demands and call for sub contracting almost no response is given. The small shops keep puttering away, but as the pres sure for metals increases they are forced to close, resulting in idle machines and jobless work ers, for not every workman can go tar from home scoutincr for a Job. The pinch of priorities is becoming very serious. Tin plate, for example, needed for canning purposes, is on the priority list and there is a possibility of a glass factory coming to Oregon to make jars to be used instead of the tin containers. see DEFENSE Contract Service wishes to save small business and prevent a few gigantic concern from monopolizing everything. Thi service is now advocating a suggestion made in thi column that mall busi ness, with good management and engineering skill, organize a group of small (hops, become the prime contractor and dis tribute the work to fellow small operators. At the same time it is difficult to Induce agencies to give a contract to new eon- cerns. so there is really a battle on between one division of OPM j which want to prevent a black out oi the little fellow and those who cannot see anyone fit to take a contract unless sup posedly 105 percent responsible. Here is another example: Three organizations have at tempted to obtain ship contracts for the Columbia ri-er area from the U. S. maritime com mission, but Admiral Land, the chairman, absolutely refuses; says he would rather Increase the way of the Oregon Ship building Co. (Henry Kaiser) and give that company more vessels than permit a new yard to start. A site and heavy capital are available for each of the three would-be shipbuilding concerns, but thi mean -nothing to the retired admiral. The other day j gave some 14 more shins to Puget sound where the facilities are chuck-a-block. HOMER ANGELL.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) broom where Knudsen drop ped it. Mr. Knudsen used the Barney Baruch plan of the 1917 war industries board as a basis. He set up committees to handle each industry, but they could only be advisory appendages to the existing setup because Knudsen had no power to go further, and he had to skirt the Stettinius priorities division, established by law. All existing overlapping conflict between OPM and OPACS (the Hender son price division) is also main tained. Mr. Roosevelt is apt to go much further and appoint an overall single person or board to make policy and furnish the executive drive. Establishment of a civilian purchasing system is stui in the mill. Clearer di vision of powers may be set by proclamation and executive order. Extreme new dealers term Mr. Knudsen's effort a stopgap move to ease public Dressure and an "effort by OPM to beat tne rap." They clearly want more. e THE first armored division (our best) has only six anti tank guns, aside from those in it tanks. There should be more than 100. In maneuvering recently the division (remember this is the one supposed to be fully equip ped and ready to fight), troops were given orange flags and required to stand around at cer tain spots ' to represent anti tank guns. Officers are efficient, ener getic. The men are in good fighting humor, but they cannot train on orange flags. OF Merced, Calif., June 27.
