Thii nation might round-up the remnant of Al oa pone's old Chicago gangster! to attend the peace conference as associate delegates, to restrain Der Fuehrer when he feels UKe gnawing a table leg, and II Duce when he feels like pounding the table.

With pocketbooks a bit fatter, due to more jobs and higher salaries, thirty million cars will be on America's highways tomorrow and speedometers will spin out four billion miles over the week-end, accord ing to reliable estimates. That literally means the greatest traffic jam in history. And, unfortunately, there is a tragic note in this prospect. For it is estimated by the National Safety Council that 475, who set out to celebrate the Fourth this year, won't come back. Ironically, these 475 persons who will die will be celebrating a day dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! OERE in the Rogue River Valley, Mom, Pop and the youngsters will climb into the family flivver and do their full share of holiday gadding to the beaches, to mountain retreats or to Ashland's rodeo and celebration. To these neighbors of ours, this paper urges the utmost caution on the highway. Please drive slowly and carefully; treat the other fellow with courtesy; watch out for the reckless driver who always seems to be on hand when traffic is most crowded. To pass out a little more advice, don't overdo in exercise, eating or exposure to the sun. Don't go swimming too soon after eating or when you are over-heated. Know the depth of the water and the tides of the beaches. FINALLY, when we celebrate America's inde- pendence tomorrow, let us declare our inde pendence from the kind of celebrating that results in sorrow and suffering. Let's observe the Oregon traffic safety division's apt slogan : "Put safety FIRST on the Fourth. hg. The Mystery of Stalin TTHAT desperate appeal by Stalin to the Russian people only adds another surprising sensation to this sensationally surprising war. Who would have imagined only 2 weeks ago that the strongest and most ruthless despot of the most powerful despotism in the world, would be at bay, demanding a "scorched earth guerilla" warfare, to save his vast empire from the cruel and rapacious clutches of his former partner-m-crime. and fellow crook, Adolf Hitler 1 Any competent movie such a script would have issued orders to hold every thing and have the author's head examined. COR it just doesn't make sense, or wouldn't have r only 12 days ago. But now there it is, almost a finished drama, and the one European country that many believed would eventually profit most from this World War No. 2 is apparently on the verge of complete disaster. FOR certainly if the situation were not desperate, Stalin would hardly make such a confession of weakness, as his broadcast comprised. Totalitarian governments don't indulge in such strategems, on the slim chance of deceiving the enemy, when there is inescapable loss of prestige and morale at home. And it should not be forgotten that a despot in Stalin's position must not only think of his empire, but also of his own head. Yes, a despotism built upon fear, inspired by power, takes a terrific risk when it confesses a fear its own power has been challenged by a greater one. For there are always enemies lurking about, ready for the first sign that all is not well near the throne. CO such an appeal from the All-Highest in the Kremlin at such a time can only mean "the bear that walks like a man" is really near the stage of "extremis," if he has not already arrived. We don't mean it's all over but the shouting neces sarily. Russia is not yet crushed and may not be. But we do mean the "Dunkirk stage" has been reached. and only by following Britain s heroic example, and enjoying the accompanying "miracle," can western Russia be saved. Perhaps the Russian bear will successfully emu late the British lion. Here's hoping. But after such a declaration from the dictator of all the Russias, there can be no doubt that the allied situation on Germany's eastern front is today at least as desperate as was England's on the western front a year ago. another period of nothing but "blood, sweat and tears." without another Churchill at the helm. Finally, the deepest mystery of all is how Stalin ever allowed such a tragic situation to come to pass. He had no appeasement group to contend with, no internal dissensions such as France endured. An unscrupulous outlaw himself he knew the gangster psychology that prevailed in Berlin, down to the ground. Why then didn't he strike at his enemv, an enemy that had written a I intentions, when he had Aye, verily, how Despot Hitler hoodwinked Despot Stalin in World War No. 2 will provide an enthralling chapter in the history of that period, when the truth is finally known.

Her gums have shrunk considerably, and her friends tell her she should have a tempor-1 ary plate made and wear it now or else It will become more and more difficult for her to wear plates at all. But her dentist says she must wait two or three months, as there are some small tooth fragments or splinters working thru the gums and she will not be able to endure the pressure of a plate until these fragments have worked out. (G. R.) Competent dentists Install plates, not temporary plates but the plates the patient will wear permanently, immediately after extraction of the teeth. If any fragments or splinters remain In the Jaw after extraction, these should be removed at once, and not left to work out. It is a serious matter to go toothless for weeks or months. not because the gums shrink, but because the general nutrition and health of the patient Inevi tably suffers from the Intrrfer ence with digestion which al ways occurs when the food is not well masticated. The public scarcely realizes and too many physicians and dentists seem to ignore the Im portance of salivary digestion. The chewing of food, particular ly the sources of carbohydrate material from which we get most of the energy required to maintain the vital functions and do the muscular work of the body is an essential part of the digestive process and no arti ficial preparation of the food can quite serve the purpose of this mastication. Besides mixing the food thoroly with the saliva, and thus subjecting every par tlcle to the action of the diges tive ensyme or ferment called ptyalin the ptyalin converts in soluble and indigestible starch Into soluble, digestible sugar the proper chewing of such foods (vegetables, fruits, cereals and the many things made from them) is necessary for the nor mal action of the taste reflex. That is to say, the secretion of gastric Juice and digestion in the stomach is controlled to a con siderable degree by reflex im pulses from the taste buds in By Frank Jenkins CROM Berlin today (Wednes r day): The German high command says two Russian armies are definitely smashed In the Bialy stok trap (inside former Po land), with 100.000 Soviet troops captured along with much war material. PROM Moscow: The Russians assert that nazi drives aimed at Moscow and Leningrad are stopped, and report annihilation of advance German tank forces on the cen tral (Minsk to Moscow) front. COMEBODY, of course, is fib " bing or at least telling only the favorable news and leaving the unfavorable part untold But out of the din of claims and counter-claims the fact is emerging that the Russians are putting up quite a fight pos sibly more of a fight than the Germans expected. RflORE from Moscow: iTl '-The Soviet government to day (Wednesday) expressed its satisfaction and gratitude for re c e n t American government statements of its stand on the Russian German war."

LESS STATE the mouth via the sympathetic nerves to the stomach. Thus pro per chewing of food prepares the stomach to secrete gastric Juice adapted to digest the par ticular sort of food. Taste of food, when not too much dia- guised with condiments, is con cerned with good digestion as well as with enjoyment or as Shakespeare expressed it; Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both. Formerly doctors assumed that because the reaction of the stomach contents is acid, the ptyalin of the saliva could not continue to digest starch after the food la swallowed. This as sumption was an error; actual tests show that salivary digest Ion of a meal continues from 30 to 40 minutes after the food has entered the stomach. So you see toothlessness and good health are incompatible in proportion with the number of teeth missing.

The commanding officer did not look in the direction from which the advice came, but cooly instructed an orderly: "If this kind of music gets on the nerves of any of my officers, I want to know the name of the man immediately." That settled that. Kelly's Comment From Washington Donovan Made Espionage Chjef Navy to Foster Good Will on Job Coast Towns Want Sectional Bases Br John W. Kellr Washington, D. C, July 3. With Herr Hitler fighting Joe Stalin, aided by the Finns, who have the only real democracy in Europe (Britain has been cutting off supplies for Finland i from the United States;) with I the interior department's Col- umbia power bill and similar, matters of moment, the public overlooked some real news. John Edgar Hoover and his G men will report to 4'Wild Bill" Donovan. Others reporting to Major General Donovan will be the navy and army intelligence departments, the secret service, the treasury investigators, the narcotic inspectors. "Wild Bill" has been made the big chief of these agencies. They all must report to him and he will re port only to President Roose velt. General Donovan's right hand will be the president's first born, Captain Jimmy Roosevelt, Juke box promoter. If Chief of Staff George Mar shall gives an order to General Sherman Miles of G-2, Donovan can countermand it. Donovan can give orders to the under cover agents which Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox has in the Puget sound navy yard. He can if he wants, tell J. Edgar Hoover to keep out tf nisht clubs and avniH tha, . jiety of keyhole columnists. The ( Job of chief of espionage is Donovan's reward for his ramb ling around Europe last spring for Secretary Knox. e IN the world war Donovan was called "Wild Bill" because, as an officer of the "fighting 69th," he was wounded three times and received enough dec orations to sink a ship. Being a good Republican, he was an assistant attorney general and hoped to be made attorney gen- ,r,i hut H.rh.rt w-., dissuaded by some of the Hoc vercrats of the south.

After reporting to Knox and the president, Donovan hoped to be made attorney general (his old ambition) as Robert Jackson was shifted to the supreme court, but there were objections to this again (history repeating), so the president hit upon the idea of making Donovan a super sleuth, the one over all the var ious Intelligence agencies. see ONE of these days sound , So YouVe Tried EyerTtliing ' ? .

There will be s speaker, perhaps an sdmiral, who will Jolly the boys, and there will be motion pictures. It is slso in the cards that some one will take radio comments tors from Portland broadcasting stations and give them a feed. For creating good will in the 60 plants where navy contracts have been let the department has been allowed $79,000 by the house and the aenate may fol low through. The sound trucks hsve been ordered; the electri cal transcriptions are being pre pared; some of the movies are ready and others are in the making, and several high rank ing navy officers are arranging to go on the road like veteran troupers. A few days ago Admiral Hep burn threw a dinner party in New York to eight commenta tors and the bill comes out of the $75,000. In answer to ques tions by the appropriations com mittee, it was explained that the commentators have to be given the proper navy slant,' because the people receive their : news from the radio so the navy wishes to reach the source of this information. For this char acter of entertainment $5,000 will be used. i o o o i THERE is a break In the Jetty at Tillamook bay through, which the waves and logs surge to cottages on the shore behind 1 the Jetty. It is Just a matter of time when the cottages will be bombarded to death. Appeal has been made to army engineers to fill the gap and save the real estate. A survey has been con ducted and the engineers ex plain that inasmuch as the break in the Jetty does not af fect navigation they have no authority to do anything about it. ' Gold Beach, Harbor and Crescent City are asking that the navy establish a sectional base in those places as well as, at Astoria and Coos Bay.

The sec-! tional bases will range in cost from $300,000 to more than $1, 000,000. That at Astoria is sup-; posed to cost $800,000.
