B 0. yffhaaUaiai mt'IisociTi ti 4JSSa Ye Smudge Pot with Don Upjohn Conductor of "Sips For Supper" In the Salera Capital Journal aa GUEST COLUMNIST Medford Chamber of Com marce please note: Arthur Perry, columnist de luxe, Medford Mall Tribune, of fers his biennial lure to the best minds of the state for each to do a column for him in re turn for a box of Rogue river pears. Perry the columnist prob ably knows full well that he couldn't wangle these intellect ' uals Into giving their services Just to be kind to Perry. He knows, further and fully as well, that It would take more than gold to seduce these high priced artists of tha typewriter to turn away from their own daily stint long enough to help brother onto a well earned vacation, or whatever is the reason for these guest column Jngs. So he holds out the one and only bait that would take the Industrialist away from his plant, the merchant from his ctore, the preacher from his pulpit, the mother from her babies or the Main street speed maniac away from the wheel of his car, same being a box of Rogue river pears. Yes, dear Medford folk, your columnist Art Is a sly, slick business guy as well as col umnist of the higher order, than which there probably Is no nobler trade. He knows there's something about a Rogue river pear that has a taste excelled only by a Willamette valley Strawberry, We well remember when Art started this Idea two years ago. We hustled to furnish a column and sent same by return mall. then sat back and waited. Sum mer slowly slid from the lap of spring and after a long period of deliberation langourously changed into fall. But yet no box of Rogue river pears. At last they came around about holiday time and we sneaked them through the back door of the office and home where they were put In a convenient place to ripen. Then came the long expected day when we pushed thumb Into the side of one of the pears and found it yielded to the pressure. Out came the pear and we gouged our teeth into tide of the same. A little stream of pear Juice trickled down the chin and onto our tie and shirt front, but this was lost in the heartfelt satisfaction had from the bewildering taste. After all. what's a few words on a typewriter as against a Rogue river pear? Rudyard Kip ling once wrote magazine stories for dollar a word; Westbrook Pegler pays Income taxes of fabulous amounts. But all this Is as dross and copper pennies compared to the Income of the hippy guy who can turn out columns in return for Rogue river pears. So there you have It and all we have to do from now until tnen is to sit back and wait until Art sends on the pears. And when they come we'll gay with Tiny Tim. "God bless everybody" and Art Perry In particular. (Tomorrow Elbert Bede of the "Masonic Analylst," Port land, will contribute to this column). Cash for Poultry and E. O R Poultry Co, u and Plr. Tel. 31. At Long Last AS the circulation of the Mail-Tribune is somewhat limited at the British G.H.Q., we hesitate to take any credit for this surprise party for Adolph in Iran. But it does follow the line advocated in this depart ment for a very long time, i. e. : follow the nazi tech nique for once, and get there "fustest with the most est men." Also with Hitler still holding that Russian bear by the tail, harass Adolph with all possible punch and speed elsewhere. 1IE would still prefer an attack which Hitler could and had to meet, and thus by dividing his forces relieve pressure on the hard-pressed Slavs. But no doubt, attacking anywhere along the west ern front would not be feasible at this time, and co operating with Russia, in the occupation of Persia IS. Not only should this Anglo-Russian military co operation boost Russian morale, but it will provide a gateway for the more expeditious shipping of allied supplies to Moscow, where we imagine there will soon be great need of them. A LL in all a master-stroke, and only another indi " cation that when Adolph decided to double-cross Joseph, he not only put his foot in it, but got his other leg caught in a bear-trap as well. Is This a "Moral" War? have a communication from a "military ex- pert." At least that is the way the writer signs his name, we fear with a hint of sarcasm. We quote in part: "What a farce! When Hitler moves Into Holland, It's a foul crime' against a peaceful and neutral nation) but when Mr. Bull and Butcher Stalin march into peaceful and neutral Persia, its a sweet and beautiful dispensation from heaven! And before the ink on those eight points are dry pledging the allies to respect the right of all peoples to live under the form of government they wishl Tell me the moral difference, Mr. Editor, between these two cases of neutrality violation, ex cept that having British aid, Holland resisted; and not having German aid, Persia didn't!" Well we admit morally, that's a tough one. But to' come down to brass tacks, just what have morals to do with war anyway? This department at least has never indulged in that particular form of ethical hair-splitting. Once war is declared and certainly Hitler brought on this one, there is only one law and that is the law of force. BOTH sides thereafter indulge in high moral indig- iiatiuu uvci mc Lentigo ouujricu uy uuici That's a part of the war game. But the plain truth is, both sides do whatever they believe will be to their advantage, and they have the force to do. This is not always clear during the heat of conflict, but it always is, when a fair historical perspective has been attained. And what has been true one. So we admit that morally there is little to choose between the German violation of Holland and the allied violation of Persia, The allies say if they didn't take over the country Hitler would. Well Hitler said the same thing about the allies, when he invaded Therefore morally speaking one action can wash off the other, as far as we are concerned. AS to violation of pledge 3 in the 8 points, it is hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that all these 8 points, referred to a peace, not a war program ; to what the allies promise to do AFTER Hitler is destroyed, not before. So that complaint is hardly justified. On moral grounds, there IS in this conflict, how ever, as we see it, all the difference between the two I. .. 1.1 1 I, i . .

But that is the only moral judgment we feel dis posed to draw. When it comes to tactics which may or may not be adopted by the various and sundry combatants in this war, or any other war, we must leave the fine moral distinctions to those better quali fied than we, to see them. We can see no morals in any warfare, but" a com plete abrogation of all moral considerations when war is declared. Protect the Public w E note the "Oregonian shows the people of that fair city, strongly favor COMPULSORY auto liability insurance, the vote being over three to one. Such protection to both the motoring and non motoring public in this state, has been advocated by the Mail-Tribune for some time. If this poll is a fair index of Portland sentiment, then a compulsory insurance proposal if initiated, should easily pass. For as Multnomah votes, so votes the state; and Portland determines Multnomah. We trust someone will take appropriate action be fore it is too late. No one who can afford to drive a car, should be allowed to do so without being respons ible for what harm or injury he or she may cause. There is no more excuse for allowing motor cars to run without financial responsibility than without a license 1 of past wars is true of this or to be exact, Iran. Holland.

Calif. PROPHYLAXIS In an article published In Pennsylvania Medical Journal some years ago Dr. Alexander Sterling advo- cated making the prophylac tic use of qul n 1 n compul sory during an e p 1 d e mic of flu. In the past year or two the federal govern m e n t has acquired and stored in the treasury 8,900,000 ounces of quinine, not so much in preparation for the next flu epidemic but per haps Just in case of a South American campaign there be ing still a great deal of malaria endemic or constantly recur ring in parts of South Amer ica. Besides, I have been urg ing in this column for quite a while now the efficacy of two grains of quinine three times a day as a preventive against the cri, and Uncle Sam reads the papers. There are 7,000 grains in a pound or 18 ounces figure for yourself how much quinine In the government's store for each person In the country. I dare not, my arithmetic Is too treacherous. If everybody In the country were to begin taking two grains of quinine three times a day and keep it up for, say, four weeks, that might make a not iceable hole In the 26S ton pile, what? If I'm a ton or two off In my computation what's a ton of quinine between friends? Come to think of it, a large portion of the population, prob ably two-thirds or more, would not require two grains three times a day, to gain the Im munity that quinine gives against what the unenlightened call "colds" (many of them, I suspect, because they are un certain about the pronunciation of cri kree). One grain of qui nine sulfate, in pill, tablet or capsule, three times a day, pref erably after food, would be suf ficient for children up to the weight of 75 pounds. The dose of medicine for a child is bet ter determined in proportion with body weight than accord ing to age. If the child weighs one-half of the average adult weight, one-half of the adult dose is correct. In the monograph "Quinine1 in Modern Medicine" (for copy send a stamped envelope bear News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Page One) but no worthwhile evidence Is yet available indicating that the bootlegging trade Is corrupting clerks either in the government or large aluminum concerns. The business can be worked without that extra cost. In a composite case, based on reports so far, the trade has been de veloped In the following circum stances: Small metal dealers pur chased much aluminum, iron and steel, or copper scrap, ex pecting a price rise. None de veloped. Maximum prices were fixed. Consequently the only chance of much profit today lies outside the official market. Miniature smelters have been put in operation, home-made In many instances, permitting any cne who knows the business to produce secondary aluminum, without much difficulty, from old pots, pans, auto parts. Some legitimate business Is being done along these lines. Anyone who has thus obtain ed the raw material does not ordinarily need to employ clerks to tell him where to sell it. Tradesmen know that com pany X makes aluminum toys or cameras, and also that every one In that business needs alum inum. No aluminum now is le gitimately going to any com pany except for the manufac ture of defence or essential civ il.an materials (surgical Instru merits). It is a simple process to draw the harried small manufacturer to an unlisted office. The cus tomary charge Is double the fixed price. To make It sound legal, only the fixed price is charged, occasionally with an understanding that the manu facturer will also buy. say. 200 barrels of wastrpaper at ti a barrel to furnish the profit of the bootlegger. IT 'WO violations of law are In volved in the above hypo- Brady M. O. Or THE CRI ing your address) I acknowledge that we do not know how qui nine aids the body's defenses against pneumonia, flu and the other respiratory infections. But physicians the world over pre scribe this prophylactic use of quinine in time of cri epidemic and people everywhere find It effective. In test recenUy re ported 6,300 employees of large industrial plant each took a five-grain tablet of quinine sulfate each morning and 6,900 other employees each took a similar tablet containing only sodium bicarbonate each morn ing, for a period of two weeks, during an influenza epidemic. Only one-fourth as many of the employes who took quinine de veloped the flu as employees who took sodium bicarbonate. Within the past two years a rational scientific explanation of the prophylactic and rem edial action of quinine against the flu has been advanced. We'll talk about it another day.

The Illicit smelter did not report his stocks to OPM. Secondly, he charged more than the maximum price Strangely, only the first could entail a Jail sentence. Failure to report stocks violates an OPM order backed by a federal statute. The actual bootlegger behind the desk would probably escape because he only violated a price regulation by the Hen derson OPACS division, not yet backed by penalty statutes. The purchaser Is deemed here to be equally guilty, which makes it difficult to obtain evidence for a clear-cut case. These same considerations ap ply to copper, but as no priori ties have yet been established for iron and steel scrap, only the price violation would apply to dealers In that line.

Tat U.t Kelly's Comment From Washington Plan Huge Industry For Northwest Talk Power Pool For Two State Army Air Corps Don't Like M'Chord Br Joha W. Kelly (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. 27. For the present the navy Is making no statement, but the federal government Is planning an immense industry to manu facture flying boats on Puget sound, within the confines of Seattle. The plant will be oper ated, under an agreement, by the Boeing Aircraft company, now In constructing the flying fortress type of bomber, e e e PROPERTY for the site has already been subject of negotia tion, with almost no publicity. The location is on the shore of Puget sound, where the flying boats can take off on their trial trips. It is said that the govern ment will spend millions of dol lars In the preparation of the plant and will obtain AA pri ority on all things connected with it. AA priority is the highest rate and means emerg ency and aircraft production is practically the only activity which can command the double A. This AA priority will ex tend to the materials necessary for the seaplanes, from alum inum and engines down to the gyroscopes and secret bomb sights (the latter now in pro duction in California). a e FOR reasons best known to the army and navy all their con tracts for airplanes are given to existing companies. It is a closed corporation, a monopoly, and no new concern has a ghost of a chance to build a fighting plane for the army or a seaplane for the navy. The brass hats and the admirals contend that they do not wish to experiment with a company that has not a background of performance, re gardless of whether it is a new company staffed with experi enced key men who have been designing and building many of the present airships. But for this policy of the navy the new plant financed by the government could Just as well be placed in Everett, Belling ham, Astoria or on the Columbia or the Willamette rivers. e e e AT this proposed plant will be constructed the patrol fliers to be based at Whidbey island and at Tongue Point. (There will be 72 such flying boats at Tongue Point alone.) Other craft will be built for the navy rto be used on the airplane car riers which are now on contract at Pacific coast yards. The new aircraft Industry will be staffed by Boeing with experienced superintendents now working on the army orders while thous ands of new mechanics will be trained and "broken In" as they are attracted to Seattle. These new comers will add to the housing problem. e e a THE Pacific Northwest Light & Power association, an or ganization of all the private utility companies In Oregon. Washington and British Colum bia, at a meeting last week out lined a program for national de fense. The new president. Sam McFadden of the Puget Sound Light & Power Co.. Seattle drafted the defense plan, which was unanimously adopted. The first item Is a proposal that all of the power of the private utilities, from British Columbia to southern Oregon, be pooled, a sort of grid which will main tain power wherever it Is re quired, similar to the power pools recently arranged by OPM on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. ANOTHER Item is the supply ing of this and that from one company to another. For ex ample. Portland General Elec tric may have a surplus of some article that is needed by Wash ington Water Power Co of Spo kane, and the Spokane company may have some extra equipment needed by the power company In British Columbia or the Call- : fornla Oregon Power Co., or the Mountain States. This, in a 1 measure, will enable the com panies to obtain materials with out the difficulties of a priority license. aaa THIRD on the agenda Is the servicing of engines for crash boats used by the navy These I crash boats are a new device i with a special engine. They I are filled -ith sailors or mar ines and run ashore with land ing pjrties. run up on the beach , the men leap out and the boats return to the warship for an other group of fighting men. It t is proposed that these engines ' be serviced by the Puget Sound Light & Power Co. (engines made in California) as the com pany use the sama type of en gine in Its bus service. The power pool and the exchange of needed materials, however, are intended to be general. a e e WAR department (army air corps) is not satisfied with Mc Chord field, the great develop ment of the flying force near Tacoma. and is contemplating the distribution of units now stationed there. Principal com plaint against McChord field Is the too frequent fog conditions prevailing, which hamper the pilots- It is suggested that some of the units be moved to Columbia-Portland field, to Spokane, and to an undesignated location somewhere in Oregon, possibly Bend or Klamath Falls. One story has It that Salem may be selected; another that Eugene may be given an air base, and the field at Everett be strength ened from McChord. To date there appears nothing to confirm any of these rumors as to where the readjustments of the Inter ceptors and medium bombers will be made, but something is in the wind. LIVESTOCK Portland. Ore.
