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.

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.

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

clearly in the hands of one man, determined, by

Herr Hitlers Boner
IF anyone should doubt, Herr Hitler got the Russian
bear by the tail but now, can't let go, this an
nouncement: Soviet Russia has joined England in the occupation
of Iran, with 60,000 mechanized troops.
Ought to dispel same.

the Far East announce Stalin also has an army of half
a million men, and a large fleet of airplanes in Si-

Undoubtedly one of the many mysteries of this war,
will be why Hitler with his knowledge of Russia and
his espiona.ee system in that country apparently didn't
know that Stalin's second or was it the third? five-
year plan was exclusively a MILITARY one.
That fact was printed in the American Mercury six
months ago. But Der Reichsfeuhrer apparentlv never
suspected it, or if he did,

In this column th other day
sentimental 01' Doc Brady of
fered a nudge to neurasthenics
in the sugges
tion that they
may derive

benefit from
supplements g
their regular
diet with vita
min B and
whenever vita

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

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

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
