Ingalls Editor of th Corrallls Gastt-Tlme a GUEST COLUMNIST Her w r again, eld Tom Sawyer, whitewashing Art Per ry'a fence. The difference be tween ui and Tom being that Tom didn't get any peare aa a reward. Even if he had, they would have been middle west pears and not the luscious kind that come out of Medford. We note by Art's favorite daily paper that eleven pear pickers became so overjoyed at the thought of the lusciousness of Medford pears that they were unable to contain themselves or the bug-juice that brought them under its Influence and into court, where, the report states, the Judge "read them a lecture." He probably knew they were needed in the orcnara more than in Jail. Speaking of Judges, we note where one In tha east says that there ar 380,000 persons In this country making a living thru crime. Which would seem to Indicate that th wage of sin have been misrepresented. It would also Indicate that there I not enough arrest for th wicked. e W not that Oil Due Ickes Is headed for this section to gloat over damage he has done to private Industry by the way he has managed government built dams. The Cheerful One predicts a gasoline rationing for th Pacific northwest. . An eastern "scientist" states that being In love la the same aa being crazy, but neglects to state why ahe turned him down. Our notion of th mid-Atlantic seance is that Mr. Roosevelt Inspired it and that Churchill had to comply tho he felt as silly as a parent at a side show. But Mr. Roosevelt saw a ehanr to be sensational and he la the biggest "show-off" since Bar num. In spite of th resent mess In Europe, th world makes some progress. There was a time when the best shortstop In the country wore side whiskers. We ar sometimes called un orthodox. Well, we admit It to this extent, we do not sub scribe to the old fashioned Idea that boil Is worth five dollars to Its owner. The Fourth army, battling near Centralis, Washington, lost It contest to the Sunday driver and we imagine that the army officers now wish that Oil Duce like would extend his gasoline ukase to cover the Pacific north west Th British wcr terribly let down by th narrow squeak of on vote margin by which Mr. Roosevelt mad liar out of congress which had promised to dismiss the army draftees after year of sen-ice. They would be still further dismayed if th vote had been left to the draftees. Well. Art, that's all the fence we ar going to whitewash for you today. We could dab on another brushful or so. but it wouldn't be fair to the colm directly east of yours. (Nolan Skiff. Pendleton East Oregonian columnist, will oc cupy this space tomorrow.) Democracies Secret Weapon r0H'T hear much about "secret weapons" these days. But the allies have certainly developed one, secret in the sense that when the war started its existence was not suspected. And this "weapon" wears pants, smokes fat cigars and answers to the name (in London at least), of "Winnie." VES, when war was declared two years ago, no one suspected that this "irrepressible and irrespons ible son of a British father and American mother" would literally become England's Horatius at the bridge. But there he stands, and the credit for England's jafety and Germany's present dire predicament be longs almost entirely to him. But for Winston Churchill's bull-dog courage, his fearless and rugged leadership, his inspiring example, not only to his own countrymen, but to the entire democratic world, where would the British empire be today? One shudders to think of the consequences, had a Chamberlain remained at the British helm, or another Baldwin returned to it. Never more clearly in world history, it seems to this department, has the fate of an empire been so clearly in the hands of one man, determined, by U7 M-....-K4.. 1 . .'a i at ri.n ma jjeisuiiauiy ana jjeroijsieiice ana genius ALiUINrj.

A HINT TO HYP In this column th other day sentimental 01' Doc Brady of fered a nudge to neurasthenics in the sugges tion that they may derive conslde r a b 1 e benefit from supplements g their regular diet with vita min B and whenever vita min B or Bl (thiamin) U re ferred In here the entire na tural vitamin B complex 1 always tha form preferred. Although physicians who ar honest about it still do use the term "neurasthenic," for In stance In describing the 'neuras thenic syndrome", as quoted In the article the other day, tecog- nued authorities at present ac cord the concept of neurasthenia scant consideration or none at all as a diagnosis of a patient's trouble or an explanation for health Impairment or functional derangement. Many pellagra patients. In the southern states, ar branded or brand themselves "neurasthe nics" In the earlier months or years before the objective signs of pellagra make the nature of their disease manifest. Progres sive physicians now recognize that in practically all casea of pellagra, although the primary or chief cause Is prolonged defi ciency In the intake of nicotinic acid (one of the entities of the vitamin B complex), there are deficiencies of the others as well and neither Bl nor .nicotinic acid alone can give complete cure. Experience In the treatment of pellagra proves that many of the nervous and mental symp toms particularly depend rather on insufficient intake or other entities of the B complex, such as the thiamin (Bl) ami ribofla vin (B2 or G) and hence the entire natural vitamin B com plex is preferable both for pre vention or for treatment, and it is the usual practice to prescribe it for the pellagra patient regard less of how much pure nicotinic acid or thiamin the patient may receive temporarily. All of this applies with equal force to vitamin feeding for per sons whose complaint is "neuras .

Rally (Not: During th absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation hi dally column will be written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of our Washington, D. C. staff). Washington, D. C, Aug. S3 George W. Norris, senior sena tor for Nebraska, I taking a very active interest in the Paci fic northwest. He want to wrest from Secretary of the In terior Harold L. Ickes control of the power of the region and place it in the hand of a trium virate like TVA, hi baby. Of real significance, however, is the fact that Senator Norrl 1 on the verge of breaking with Pre ddent Franklin Delano Roose velt. The break will probably not occur, for Norris is suscept ible to flattery, and the presi dent is a master hand at butter ing people he wishes to mollify. But relation are a trifle strained for, at this writing, the presi dent ha not given attention to the protest made by tha elder statesman against the secretary of the interior. Th entire so-called power group in the national capital Is at loggerheads. Secretary Ickes charges that Chairman Olds, of the National Power commission, knows nothing about power, al though Olds was crusading against the "power trust" way back when President Roosevelt was just Governor Roosevelt. There is a hint that Ickes be lieves Olds has succumbed to th truit. Senator Norrl does not think that Icke 1 slipping, but he positively does not want th secretary as a power czar. Since David Lilienthal, of TVA, bought th private power com panies from Wendell Wllkle for more than the propertie were believed to be worth Ickes views Lilienthal with suspicion. Wash ington's Homer Bone has a bill for a three-man board, which accords with the theory of Nor ris, and which is at variance with what the president expli citly demanded: all control centered In the secretary of the Interior. THE line-up now Is President Roosevelt and Secretary Ickes versus Senators Norris and Bone, with Lilienthal lending a willing shoulder to the senators. The spectacle of these cham pions of government ownership clashing is being kept as quiet as possible In order that the pri vate utilities will not feel en couraged, for It is the wish of all the group, from the president down, to eliminate all private competition by freezing them out or buying them out. Sitting at the center of the maelstrom 1 Oregon's Charley McNary, who favors the presi dent's idea of one-man control in preference to a three-man board. But McNary is not satisfied with tha Ickes bill (introduced by Rep. Knute Hill) and it will re quire several modifications be fore he approves it. The attitude of th private utilities in Washington and Ore gon on thase various measures and the quarrel within the ranks of the new dealers has-not been completely revealed. It Is said that they will take no side be tween a one-man or a three-man board: that what they want is good administration, fair treat ment, ability to purchase power from the government hydroelec tric plants and not be forced out of business. They know It is Impossible to buck against the treasury of the United States. THERE are ome Important government official who are suggesting that an aluminum rolling mill be located at Long- view. Wash., where Reynolds Metals Co. Is building a plant to produce aluminum nigs. Other communitle would like to have the fabricating plant, provided the government will finance and build it, but it so happens that Longview has southern democratic friends who are Interested In seeing that town prosper and they are said to have been Instrumental in having the Reynolds outfit lo cate there.

Editorial Comment Tribute to Resourceful Columnist One of the several reasons why Arthur Perry's column In the Medford Mall Tribune i such savory reading I that Art has a personal weakness for dwelling on seasonal ed'We. He know them each snd all, and their periods, as unerringly as the gray squirrel knows when the hazelnut crop Is ripe and ready to pop from th bur. And when the time come he contrive without fall to slip something like this it Is a di rect quotation from a recent Issue Into his stint of columnar comment: "The fried chicken and corn-on-the-cob season is now In full swing In the rural areas. Expert eaters maintain the way to eat the first named 1 with the fingers, and the party of the second part, with both elbows on the table." And what happens? We ven ture to suspect that th mother ly heart of the farm wife, back there In one of th rural areas. Is touched by the wistful im plications of Mr. Perry's pitiful plight. It seems to th good woman, as he denude a plump spring fryer, and choose a doz en ear of th best weet corn, that If he doesn't get hustle on her, why, her favorite gossip for that la exactly what Mr. Perry Is will slump. In saa attenuation, face-down on his trusty typewriter and yield up the ghost with a famished sigh. Here is no intent ta spoil a good thing for an old friend but one cannot help surmising that the Mail Trlb' veteran columnist must provision him self fairly well by these wiles and frequently, too, get asked out to the farm for Sunday dinner. Colloquially speaking, how ever, Mr. Perry ain't no Ma hatma Gandhi, not by no means, for the latest report of our operatives is that his dignified embonpoint is truly Impressive, and would do credit to any bishop. Stricken virtually mute by unfeigned admiration one shall presently desist. You may not think that Art Perry has It in him but ha has. Country sausage, fried chicken, green corn, rural hominy, and other such edible knickknacks, quite all of them. Has Mr. Perry got it In him? He has. Ben Hur Lampman In Portland Ore gonian.
