Plli'I JeiJsoleuTi Ye Smudge Pot with Nolan Skiff of tha Pendleton East Oregonlan GUEST COLUMNIST When Arthur Perry asked me to write a column for him while he was doing something else more profitable, I started fran tically searching through tome copies of my Saturday E. O. column called "End of the Week" because no other really appropriate name could be found for It You know, that column was named something like the fourteenth kid In a fam ily I once knew the parents ran out of names so decided to call it "Z" and turn over a new leaf. Anyway, my column doesn't scintillate it's one of those "underdog gets his just dues" and "laugh while you can" thing and the request from Perry sorta gave me the hcebe Jeebics. Naturally, with our chamber of commerce conducting a clip ping service at this time of the year 1 knew I ought to mention the Pendleton Bound-Up book ed for September 10, 11, 12 and 13. Then, on second thought, I figured that would be adver tising, so discarded the urge. Next I remembered a chat I had with Bob Ruhl here several weeks ago concerning the army and Its problems. We have an airbase here and Ruhl said Med ford was all braced for a big army cantonment and perhaps an airbase. Well, I did the best I could and told him our Air Corps boys were models of be havior, etc., and darned It they haven't beenl Of the hundreds here only one of them went rampaging off the reservation I mean onto the Indian reser vation and Uncle Sam gave him term in a labor camp. The rest of the soldiers the rascals have been almost set ting an example' for our Pen dleton kids to try to live up to! But about this army business all I could think of was the experience of a new captain here. The captain scoffed when a citizen told him he knew of an Indian with a perfect mem ory. They went out to the res ervation and the captain, dur ing the conversation, asked the redman: "Do you like eggs?" "Yes," the brave replied. A month later they met out on the road, and the captain, rec ognizing the Indian, raised his hand in the red man's salute and said "Howl" The Indian re plied: "Fried." But I mint tell you about the family next door. There are two little youngsters, the boy Is five and a smart but very po litelittle fellow. He's going to school this fall for the first time and they called the pre school youngsters over to Lin coln school the other day and gave 'em some "morality tests." according to his dinner table re port The supposition Is that he passed. And the little girl, three, is quite a musician. Discovering something in her mother's kitchen she didn't know about the pointed and asked: "What is that, mummie?" "Suet." was the answer. "Brawla. brawla tuet?" the tot wanted to know. (Tomorrow Don Uplohn, con ductor of "Sips For Supper" In the Salem Capital-Journal, will appear herein). Vet Commission Gains Salem, Aug. 28. W) The World war veterans' state aid commission reported today that this year's receipts are the high est tince 1937 while it is earning six per cent on its stale-owned properties. Has R R. Changed His Mind? "LIONEST HAROLD," aliaa "Donald Duck," Ickes informs his old pal Dick Neuberger, that he (Ickes) favors complete public ownership for all power systems in the Pacific northwest Adopting a well known advertising slogan of years gone by "Honest Harold" clinches the matter with the query: "Eventually, why not now?" We quote: "Public power meant cheap power, and cheap power meant new industries and happier farms and homes. Public power is on the way as surely as the sun rises. Why put off something now which is certain to be done eventually?" But IS it? The last time the present writer communicated with President Roosevelt regarding light and power, the President explicitly declared he was not in favor of, and never had been in favor of UNIVERSAL public ownership. A certain amount of it, yes, to use as a yard-stick of proper costs, and a club light and power interests, but, NOT a blanket of pub lic ownership from coast to coast. THE President didn't directly say so, but he strongly 1 T1 ! 1 r"l n t,A. tTn,A MJMllsl Via inn mi.aI, ililillliailt llr UCIICTCU wivic tuuiu uc CUV lliui.ll PUBLIC ownership, just as there could be too much PRIVATE ownership; that the ideal situation would be to have a monopoly of neither, but permanent competition between them, so the benefits of both systems would be stimulated, and the abuses of both would be reduced. Has the President changed his mind? Apparently, for we can't believe the fanatically loval Ickes would take issue, even between campaigns, with his boss. UOWEVER that may be, the Mail-Tribune sticks with the President's original contention, that UNIVERSAL public ownership would be as unde sirable as UNIVERSAL private .ownership, that the ideal to strive for, is a permanent competition between them, a system of checks and balances, which would not allow the light and power industry to be come either a mercenary, soulless, exploiting octo pus on one hand; or an inefficient, arbitrary, politically-minded, and probably corrupt, bureaucracy on the other. It may be that such an ideal, like many others, is impractical and therefore impossible, of attainment. It may be as impossible for industrial society to be HALF public ownership and HALF private owner ship, as half slave and half But as far as this department is concerned the bur den of proof rests upon those who favor COMPLETE public ownership. We do know this. The federal yard-stick policy has reduced the cost and improved the service of water, light and power, TREMENDOUSLY. We can see no reason why private competition could not render a Bimilar service here in the north west or in any other part of the country, as far as the system of public ownership is concerned. Ickes Boosts McNary INCIDENTLY "Honest Harold," pins a large-sized orchid on the neatly-pressed coat of "Charley" McNary. We quote: "Senator McNary is a broad-guaged public official. No one finds him taking a narrow partisan attitude on questions affecting his state. Senator McNary knows the department of the interior has a real and faithful interest in the far west and thus he approves management of Bonneville and Grand Coulee by that department. . . . Senator McNary is a credit to the people of Oregon." Senator McNary IS. Moreover, in our judgment "Charley" is correct in favoring one man, over trium virate Bonneville control. Brother Neuberger however failed to get the In terior Secretary's endorsement of Senator McNary in next year's election, similar to the endorsement given Senators Norris and La Follette by the Roosevelt ad ministration. XfELL, we doubt if this failure will greatly dis ' please the senior Senator from Oregon or his loyal friends. ' The Republican primary comes BEFORE the elec tion. It is doubtful if Democratic enthusiasm for Senator McNary would make any more votes for "Charley" in the G.O.P. contest than Republican en thusiasm for Governor Martin did in the Democratic! In party primaries the rank and file sometimes react in a very partisan fashion. Walter Runs Again S TEARING of primaries, "tl rrmninai Pn,v,nn didate for congress for a sixth term. Walter is 80 years old. hard of hearing, and not as steady on his pins as he once was. But we predict the voters of the 2nd Oregon district, will send him back to Washington with the usual safe, if not over whelming, majority. This paper has seldom agreed with Walter politi cally, often been irritated by his sentimentality and his incurable "proletarian complex." But we will say this for Walter: More than any other Oregonian in public life, Walter Pierce qualifies completely under that fami liar saying of Alexander Popes: "A wits a feather, and a chief a rod. An honest min i the noblest work of God " Walter is no wit and no "chief," but he is honest, almost oppresively so, and he is one of the most loyal consistent and through-going Democrats, with a capital "D" we have ever known. over the heads of greedy free. we note Walter Pierce, U ll' ...Ml V - Personal Health Service By WUliaa signed kt ten pertaining to pmonsj I with an tygteaa, mot u onsets dlagooila or ImiiHtt, will a answer. by Or.

SWEATING AND REDUCING In a recent article you said more salt should be taken in hot weather (writes a reader). I understand that one loses weight when perspiring. Itn't that weight re gained when you take salt or talt tablets? If I want to lose weight shall I take salt anyway? (B. R.) The amount of salt one should take daily depends on the amount of iWeat i n g. Remember It is not sweating that makes one uncomfortable, It is the heat and humidity. The humidity, or degree of satu ration of the air with water vapor, interferes more or less with the evaporation of the sweat. The physiological pur pose of sweating is to cool the body. So the greater the hu midity the more difficult to cool the body. When you work, play or exer cise hard in very hot weather your body tendt to become over heated unless sweating is pro fuse. You should sweat perhaps pints during every hour of such activity in very hot weather or. say, working in a boiler room or at any Job where there is extreme heat. Remember, too, that sweat Is composed practically entirely of water and salt, the traces of other components being insig nificant to far as physical well being goes. Under ordinary conditions an adult excretes half an ounce of salt a day, mainly thru the kid neys, but also thru the skin. So approximately one-half ounce of salt a day Is necessary in the food daily, altho in some experi ments men have kept in good condition on a daily allowance of only two grams (about one half teaspoonful) of talt, and physicians sometimes prescribe salt-poor diets in the treatment of dropsy and similar conditions. restricting the salt intake to even less than one-half teaspoon ful. Foods which naturally con tain considerable salt are meats, eggs, milk, fish. The vegetables and fruits and cereals are rela tively poor in salt. Of course. a large part of the daily salt intake in the average diet is salt added to season the food.

He estimated German casual-' Brady M. O. When sweating Is profuse a Urge amount of salt Is excreted. and the normal salt content of the blood and tissues may be depleted below the level of safety. That state favors the occurrence of violent muscular cramps and heat-stroke or heat exhaustion. From experience It has been shown that men doing strenuous work In extreme heat and drinking a great deal of water are far less likely to suf fer such cramps or exhaustion if they take with each drink of water enough salt to replenish the Dooy s supply. The experi ence of many individuals who work or play In very hot weath er snows that they are more refreshed by water if they take a good pinch (perhaps five grains) of salt with each glass of water. Try it yourself and you will see that it Is so. Any weight lost by sweating is usually regained within 24 hours when the water balance is restored. But most over weight persons habitually con sume too much salt, and it is advisable to avoid such exces sive intake when trying to reduce.

BT.llT (Note: During the absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation his daily column will be written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of our Washington, D. C. staff). By Paul Dunham Washington, D. C, Aug. 26. Not one republican in Idaho, Oregon or Washington voted to extend the time of the selectees in the army. In that area only three democrats supported the administration bill and five de mocrats were against It. The two Idaho representatives (one democrat, one republican) were against; two Washington repre sentatives voted for and four were against; one Oregon demo crat and two republicans were against. In California eight new dealers and four republicans were for the bill; three demo crats and four republicans were against. Including Nevada and Utah (one democrat each) there were 17 votes for the bill and 19 against. The vote shows how close the issue is in the far western states and also shows that except for four republicans from California the only supporters of the ad ministration were new deal members of congress. The Washington delegation voted two to one against, although all six members have sustained the administration on practically every measure that has come to a vote in the house. At least one Washington "representative went home before the vote, de nounced the holding selectees and reported that in his district it was virtually unanimous among his constituents that the United States not be taken into war. Aftermath of the vote to keep selectees and the national suard in the service for 30 months is announcement of the war de partment that 200,000 men will be released before December 25. National guardsmen called to federal service for a year num ber 1(52.648 up to December, and 19,327 selectees a total of 171,973 whose time would be up by the end of the year. Not all the guardsmen or the selec tees will be released, but many will be. The 200.000 will be made up of married men, re serve officers, men with depend ent relatives, and similar cases. The vote was too close for the war department to overlook and for the purpose of maintaining the morale of the troops the re lease to civilian life will be sub stantial. ... MIMIC war maneuvers In Washington state have brought home the fact that military highways are absolutely neces sary through Oregon for any concentration of troops from California in the western Wash ington area. A series of bottle necks developed in the current maneuvers which caused incon venience and in war time would be serious to the passing troops. A minor matter is the damage done to the highways, and re pair crews have had to follow the passing trucks, patching holes in the paving. No heavy nor medium tanks were moved from California in to Oregon, which is fortunate for they could not have made the passage over many bridges and they would have destroyed highway paving unless equipped with rubber wheels. To relieve pressure on U. S. 99, the Pacific highway, part of the troops, trucks and Jeeps from California were "moved over other high ways, but all had to cross the Columbia at Vancouver, as it was the only crossing available and sufficiently strong to hold up. This troop movement has been an Invaluable argument for strengthening the roads I from California into Oregon and Washington and the need of at tending to many miles of road in the latter state. ... IF the federal maritime com mission has its way scores of ships will toon be arriving In Puget sound, Columbia river. San Francisco and Los Angeles with raw material for the metals reserve corporation These ship? were sent several months ago to Africa with a varied assortment of munitions ranging from TNT to tanks and from airplanes to automobiles. All were headed for the Red sea area. It was planned to unload and then bring the vessels back to the Pacific roast, pausing at the Dutch Fast Indies and the Philippines to pick up camoe and unloading at wet coast ports. Hitch has been in delay In discharging the munitions. I and unless the ships are released in the Red tea and head for the west coast soon they may run :-to difficulties with the spanese. RAILROADS are doing .p, 'ZJZJTiul landoffice business and to date, have moved traffic without con gestion, but in the offing Is the apprehension that Uncle Sam will step in and take over, as was done in the first World war. Officials of the carriers argue that they are doing such a fine Job that It is unnecessary for the federal government to take charge. Nevertheless there are people In the national capital who have an idea that what the railroads need Is a good adminis tration under government aus Dices. A little later this matter will come into the limelight and a tussle may be expected between championt of government con trol and the railroad operators With no hitch in the handling of miles of freight trains dash ing across the continent with food and munitions, the rail roaders are prepared to scrap it out with the new dealers. BEAT HITLER TO MID-EASHIVOT British Blockade Tightened And Turkey Put On Spot, Says MacKenzie. ' By D.witt MacKanxie The Anglo-Russian allies will have achieved a master stroke of strategy when they complete their occupation of Iran (Persia). Persia is the key position for the entire middle eastern situ ation a pivot upon which vast power can be turned in any direction with equal facility. This allied operation will In effect establish a new front against Hitler, and it will be surprising if. it doesn't see ac tion before long. One of his chief aims in his drive through the Russian Ukraine has been to seize this Persian prize for himself, and the Nazis have boasted that they would be on the Caucasian frontier by win ter. Now if they do reach that objective they undoubtedly will find a powerful Anglo-Russian army thrown across the route into this land of vast promise. The Nazi chiefs purpose in heading for Persia has been two-fold. He has coveted it not only because of its strategic position, which would permit him to strike eastward at India and westward at Egypt and the Suez canal, but because he sore ly needs the oil from the Persian fields. He also wanted access to the Persian gulf and the open seas. Now the Anglo-Russian coup has in effect moved the British blockade right up against the Soviet border. Thus this great steel garrote, which has been slowly strangling the continent of Europe, has been measurably tightened. The allied occupation of Per sia vastly increases the difflcul ties of neutral Turkey. Indeed, she will be extremely lucky if she isn't forced Into the war before long quite possibly by direct Nazi attack. The indications have been that the only things which pre vented Hitler from taking a short-cut long ago Into the near and middle east through Turkey were the forest of two million bayonets along the frontier, and the decided danger that Russia then at peace with Germany migni intervene on the side of the Turks. However, the pic ture has changed decidedly, with the Nazis warring on Russia and making progress throuih the very red territory from which soviet aid would have to come to the Turks. If and when Hitler succeeds In overrunning the Ukraine, or In any event when wint.e h.. laid a restraining hand on mili tary operations in the Soviet its not unlikely that he uHll strike at Turkey. That is. he may attack unless th Trir. many agree to his demands for passage of his troops and equip ment across their country. PLANS MILITARY TO Washington.

Chemurgy, the science that makes farm pro ducts take strange forms, now offers American motorists tato gas, distilled in part from a sack of lowly spuds. Idaho chemurgists have been experimenting with the potato fortified gasoline for four years and now pronounce it market able. Besides its use in gasoline, al cohol produced from potatoes, they say, is a good paint mixer. It can be used in dissolving dyes, in making munitions, in anti freeze mixtures and for other industrial Durnosea far which other alcohols now are used. Thus a new field is opened for a product grown in almost every state, and of which there was such a surplus from American farms last year that 30,000,000 bushels had to be fed to cattle. In Idaho potatoes rank third, behind wheat and hay, amontf the state's leading products. Nearly Half Unsold But even an Idaho potato can't take a roasting like the one it got last year. Idaho farmer. raised 32.860.000 bushels and almost half of the crop was un- suia. Even in a normal season about 15 per cent of the crop is unsalable, falling below U. S. No. 2 grading. And so in 1937 Idaho financed potato alcohol plant at the University of Idaho experiment station at a cost of about $40, 000. A year later the first gallon of potato alcohol was produced. It wasn't long before motorists in Bonneville county enthusiasti cally reported that tato-gas. a combination of five per cent potato alcohol and 85 per cenVi gasoline "has plenty of pep." The gasoline finally was distrib uted among hundreds of motor ists for tests. Later the plant turned out $35,000 order for alcohol to be used by the government In dis solving dye.
