Today let us take up the pro
nunciation of the word "canton

of the best minds and smoothest

"cahn-tawn-ment" and "can-toon-ment."
They are backed up by
Noah Webster, dictionary build

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

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

when out of earshot.
To end the pronunciation dis

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

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

POISON IVY JUST
Everyone should recognize
poison ivy at sight. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

is difficult to Induce agencies

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

much further and appoint an

to make policy and furnish the
executive drive. Establishment
of a civilian purchasing system
is stui in the mill. Clearer di
