Keep Rents Down!
I EON HENDERSON, U. S. price administrator, de
clares that rent-control laws will be necessary in
defense areas, where voluntary methods fail to pre
vent excessive increases.
This announcement might well be taken to heart
by property owners in this community, and wherever
an army cantonment is contemplated.
For whether we like it or don't the government is
not only in this war, it is in every activity concerned
with the war, including what heretofore has been
regarded as independent and private business-
CO those property owners in Medford and Southern
Oregon who are already contemplating boosting
rents, and getting theirs while the getting is good are
advised to "stop, look and listen" before they finally
dive off the deep end.
For if the cantonment IS constructed, and if rents
DO soar beyond reason (and by reason we mean a
FAIR profit on the money invested) Uncle Sam will
immediately enter the picture, either with a restrictive
law, or with a cheap housing project of his own, and
bring those rents sharply down.
1M0RE than that, when the war ends, as it will
AT1 someday, no doubt! this federal construction,
if made, will remain; there will therefore be an over
supply of houses, and a consequent demoralization in
both rents and property values.
So, we repeat, better be a little backward, Mr.
and Mrs. Landlord, about coming forward in this rent
boosting game. For unless there is a voluntary re
straint, the government will certainly step in and
compel such action, and once in the government
takes its own sweet time about getting out
QN the other hand, if there is a general disposition
v, on the part of all property owners to be reason
able and fair; not charge all the traffic will bear,

Columbia Empire Problem
X WELL DESERVED "puff" for Columbia Empire
r industries appears in the current issue of Forbes,
national business weekly.
Through intelligent, well planned promotion, dav

preference for home manufactured products. Ex

hactivity in the Columbia
muuieu io ineir energetic
ITNDER the leadership of Portland's well-loved
mayor, the late George L- Baker, this association
of industries set out some 16 years ago to convince
home consumers that home-produced goods should
be given preference. Quality being equal, self-interest
should motivate buyers to favor their neighboring
manufacturers.
It wasn't an easy job, either.
It has always seemed to be a quirk of human
nature in certain quarters to prefer the product made
in some distant area. Distance seems to lend enchant
ment, the other side of the hill is always greener.
ITNDER the leadership of men who KNOW SELL-
ING, Columbia Empire Industries has overcome
much of this psychological sales resistence. People
of this area have learned that the greenest grass is
right at home. Even the youngsters in the school room
have been included in this wise and farsighted effort.
It was natural and inevitable that the program ex
tend to a greater area, for no movement such as this
could be or should be restricted to state boundaries.
Now Columbia Empire Industries embrace 200 manu

Medford, and no doubt her sister communities of

feel slighted. During the past 16 years, these com

Madly and trenerouslv extended.
So if there IS a divorce between southern Oregon
communities and Columbia Empire Industries, it can
not be due to "non-support."

DOES ANYONE GET
Three year, ago some obscure
practitioner discovered o m e
calcified lymph nodes and
other calcar
eous areas in
the tissue, of
an infant after
death from un
known cause.
It happened
that the in
fant', mother
had misunder
stood the us
ual direction,
for feeding the
infant vitamin
D and for sev
eral weeks or months had given
the infant a daily teaspoonful
of an irradiated yeast (ultra
violet irradiation of the ergos
terol in the yeast converts it into
viosterol, which i. vitamin D)
instead of the daily few drops
of the solution which infants
need to protect them against
rickets. On the strength of this
uncritical observation the doc
tor concluded that maybe the
large amount of vitamin D had
caused excessive deposits of
calcium in the child', tissues
and thi. half-baked inference
was published and bandied
about until it became almost a
legend, in the way so many
vagaries or untenable fancies do
in medical literature if you take
it too seriously.
The truth is. as any Dhvsiclan
with an elementary knowledge
of pathology must agree, that
calcified lymph nodes are more
or less constantly present In the
body and their presence has no
specific significance, though in
many instances healed tubercu
losis account, for the calcareous
deposits.
Whereas the daily ration of
vitamin D required to prevent
rickets in the infant and to pro
mote growth and vigor in child
hood and early youth (particu
larly in the 'teens) is estimated
by various nutrition authorities
to be from 400 to 1000 or 1200
units, a great many physicians
have prescribed daily doses of
from 200,000 to 500,000 units of
vitamin D, in the past few
years, and patients have taken
these daily quantities for
months and months with no sign
of injurious effect of any kind.
The notion that anyone is
likely to get too much vitamin
D in any circumstances is too
tenuous to withstand analysis.

From Washington
Tongue Point to

Baby Industry
Britain May Aid
Lumber Dealing
By John W. Kelly
Washington. D. C. July 18
When and if funds are available
for construction of access roads
($130,000,000 is earmarked for
this purpose) Oregon's WPA
wants a slice to build such a
road at Tongue Point, on Colum
bia river. The existing Colum
bia river highway swerve, to
ward the stream and runs
through what is now the reserva
tion. Navy department wants
the public kept out and is asking
for a change in the highway.
To avoid crossing the reserva
tion it is proposed that the high
way be cut through the moun
tain south of the naval station.
Cost will be approximately $1.-
000.000 and will straighten a
sector of the road and save half
a mile. This road Job is more
important than it sounds and is
needed to insure privacy of the
Tongue Point Naval air station.
Started originally In a small
way. more to quiet the demands
of Senator McNary, Rep. Jim
Mott and the people of Astoria.
Tongue Point is destined to be
a major air station and cast into
the shade the station at Sand
Point, on Lake Washington,
where the government has ex
pended many millions of dol
lars. Planes from Tongue Point can
reach and protect the mouth of
the straits of Juan de Fuca more
quickly than planes dispatched
from the Pugct sound station. In
other words. Tongue Point at
the mouth of the Columbia will
be protecting Puget sound. Na
val officers are authority for
this statement. Only a few years
i ago the admirals were objecting
to any development at Tongue
Point and aserting the defence
less Columbia river could readily
be safeguarded by planes from
Sand Point.

dump Is now being constructed

TOO MUCH VITAMINT
Now some research student
has observed what he imagines
to be "toxic" effects of too much
vitamin Bl in Panama. Publica
tion of thi. unsupported infer
ence has given the unsophistica
ted practitioners .omething
more to worry about. The no
tion appear, to be circulated
most enthusiastically by certain
interests opposed to the doctor
ing of white bread with vitamin
Bl. A characteristic feature of
the "toxic" effect of Bl is the
vagueness of the manifestations.
You must take it a. established,
your', not to reason why. If
you ask me, I take it a. another
of the thousand and one funny
things about Medicine. And
along with it I shall continue
to take all the vitamin B com
plex I can possibly use the en
tire complex U always prefer
able to any .ingle entity such
as Bl and never worry about
getting too much.
Notwithstanding idle specula
tion, theory and half-baked in
ferences from limited observa
tion, it is my conviction re
member, this is Just Ol' Doc
Brady shooting off his mouth
that nobody ever gets enough
of any vitamin to do any serious
harm, and any excess over the
ration one needs or uses to ad
vantage may be considered
merely waste.

GOVERNMENT is taking cog
nizance of a baby industry on
the Oregon coast that appears
to be good while it lasts. This is
the taking of soup-fin sharks
These are not man-eaters, but
the type which the Chinese have
caught for a thousand years and
from which their shark-fin roup
I. made. Within the past six or
eight months these sharks have
infested the ocean as far north
at Port Orford, scene of the
new industry. The principal
part of the shark desired by
fishermen is the liver, and the
liver is 25 percent of the weight
of the shark and is sold for 80
cents a pound on the dock, the
buyer rushing it by automo
bile to San Francisco where it
is sold to a vitamin manufactur
er at a substantial increase over
the 80 cents f.o.b. Port Orford
Trip to San Francisco requires
11 hour, down the coast high
way,
Some of the meat of the shark
i. .old in California where it
appears in the restaurants as
greyfish and tastes like halibut
Such skin as is saved makes an
abrasive better than sandpaper.
What has caused the soup-fin
sharks to move northward is in
dispute, but one theory is that
the Japanese current if in part
responsible.

BECAUSE the future of every
human rteinff in the world
will be affected by what hap
pens there, the eyes ot tne
world are fixed today (as they
have been for weeks), on the
German-Russian war front.
The picture is still confused.
but if clearing a little.
TTHE Germans appear to have
advanced to Smolensk, which
(your map will tell you) if half
way to Moscow.
Berlin (DNB, not German
high command) says: "Nine mil
lion soldiers on the eastern
front are waging a "tremendous
struggle for a decision." DNB
says the red army has thrown
in its last reserves.
If Berlin reports can be trust
ed at all, the typical German
method of advance is still work
ing. That is, panzer divisions
break through and then mop
up resistance point, left in their
rear.
Several such mopping up
enterprises are described in to
day's (Thursday's) German re
ports.
TTHE front is nearly 2,000
miles long, but if It can
be broken in the middle and
Moscow taken it seems likely
that all of European Russia will
fall to the Nazis.
THIS probability lends inter-
est to a statement made in
London yesterday (Wednesday)
by Ivan Maisky, Soviet ambas
sador. "Should Moscow fall (a catas
trophe he say. he does not be
lieve will occur) we'll fight on,
supplied by factories and indus
tries hidden In the Urals.
'The British have a song:
'It's a Long Way to Tipperary.'
Well, it's a long way to the
industries which will maintain
the red army against Germany
a long, hard way by air or
land."
MAISKY added that for years
" Russia has been dispersing
her industries vital to war ef
fort over the whole of her vast
area so that no single defeat
by an enemy could cripple her
hopelessly.
THAT brings us back to the
original issue of thi. German-Russian
war.
Defeat of the red army and
the red air force and capture
of Leningrad, Moscow and the
Ukraine won't be sufficient for
Hitler's purposes. To win as
he wants to win, he must
DEMORALIZE AND DESTROY
Russia's fighting forces so that
no striking power will be left
in Russian hands.
If he fail, in that purpose
if the red army and air force
are able to retire in some sem
blance of order to the mountain
barrier of the Urals and carry
on the struggle from there
Hitler's spectacular Russian ad
venture will prove to be un
profitable.
TODAY'S rumor a. to Japan:
Foreign sources in Shanghai
report that Japanese reservists
in undetermined numbers, in
cluding men discharged from
the army in China as long as
a year and a half ago, are being
called to the colors.
The port of Kobe (in southern
Japan), the most likely em
barkation point for a south
bound Japanese expeditionary
force, was closed to foreigners
on July 13 for a 10-day period

his every act is subject to criti

democracy. But secondly he is
commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, and when he speaks
in that capacity, to me, he
speaks Infallibly.
NO other course is reasonably
possible. Everyone knows
what happens to an army when
the leader says: "Let's go," and
the army fits down and says:
"Well now, let s see about this,
maybe we had better wait a
while, or perhaps choose some
other direction." That army and
that nation which desires de

as well surrender at once.
