B C Outla '4i4scirThi Ye Smudge Pot with Harold Haynes of the Astoria Astorian-Budget as GUEST COLUMNIST It's nleasure. we assure you, to again bring the readers of this newspaper greetings to night from John Jacob Astor's old town In the green land of the Lower Columbia. This weeK Astoria is putting her best for ward. The Regatta show is on again and from far and near the visitors are coming for the fun and the fishing. We know, of course, that fun and fishing are things they have in Medford, too. In fact, we would say right her that next to Astoria, there probably isn't a place in the whole world where nature smiles and every prospect pleases as it does in the Med ford country. We speak here as an author ity, by virtue of living in As toria and having sojourned most enjoyably in the home town of our very old friend, Ernie Gil- strap, manager of the Mall Trl buna. We assume. Mr. Perry, that you don't mind In the last our! plugging Astoria in your col umn. As a matter of fact, we hardly know what else to do. Here at home, we go on and on at length sometimes, telling what we think about this and that, and It's okeh. People know us and Just take it In stride. But you can see how awk ward It would be to carry on for you as we do at home. Med ford people Just wouldn't un derstand what a great part pre judice can play in anyone's thinking. Actually we dispense with thinking entirely every now and then and go ahead on straight prejudice. It Isn't so tiring. And as a result of this system, for instance, we can cru sade around all we want to against the Nudeal and then when the boys have a social gathering we can barge In with out a hand being raised effect ively against us. Should we try anything like this here though Arthur, the finger However, we should like to say a few words here about tonight. It's the weather. The last time w appeared in the guise of a guest columnist for you, we were In troduced as the rain soaked philosopher or something of Astoria. We feci no personal resent about this business, you understand, for we've been call ed many names, of which this is by no means the worst prob ably. But the old civic pride is nevertheless stirred somewhit by this kind of weather reporting. It does rain In Astoria, cop iously, no doubt about It. At in tervals during the year, the great wind comes from the sea bringing with it an amazing j downpour. ut late years, lor some reason, there haven't been so many of these great ocean storms and the old Oregon sea has warmed up considerably 10 degrees over what it was a decade ago before the tuna fish came. It's the result of shifting ocean currents since the last big quake off the California coast, some sav. Another theory ad vanced for less rain and milder climatic conditions is the de nuding of the timber crowned hills of the coast range while there are some that believe that Mr. Ickes and his Nudeal crew planned it that way. We wouldn't know about all this but contrary to Inland opin ion, the record book says that Astoria has more days of sun shin than many Northwest cities. Including Medford. By Another War Surprise ANOTHER surprise in this surprising war, has been broueht into sham relief by the Russians. At the start of the war. and for several years before it, European military experts led by England, were practically unanimous in condemning the offensive as the approved technique. That had been the Foch principle In World war No. 1, the best defense is a vigorous offense. BUT as the true story of the battles of the first Wni-M war urn pnmnilpfl thp rnlnRSfll losses IT Uiiu .. - - - ommited. this theory was abandoned, on the ground that in anv modern war on a large scale, an offensive against prepared positions, cost more than it was worth and if persisted in for any length of time, would bleed any nation white. On the soundness of this tneory, in iact tne iamous Maginot and Siegfried lines were built. - If the static trench warfare of World war No. 1, had been repeated in No. 2, no doubt, the validity of this principle would have been sustained. t-. . . . t . i . . .v ti:ai ; i nut wiin me miroaucuon oi we m-ru-ieg, ami mechanized warfare on a comprehensive scale, the war of position was transformed almost overnight in- to a war oi movement, irencn wanare pracucany uis appeared and the Foch theory was re-established, stronger than ever. Not until Hitler attacked Kussia, however, was tne theory applied, the chief reason being that, not until the war had been raging for nearly two years, was any military opposition to Germany strong enough to apply it. Russia was strong enough, having both man power and mechanized equipment in as great, if not greater, profusion than the Nazis. A ND that explains of course why Hitler has been " unable to wage a Blitzkrieg, and why the Ger man advance has been so terribly slow. The Russian High Command has not repeated the tragic error of France, digging in, or trying to hold fortified lines, entirely on the defense. Kussia has let the Blitzkrieg come through, then has closed around it, and staged a counter-offensive of its own. Personal Health Service Br William Brady. M. D. and a vote.

Addrss Dr. William Brady, I S3 El Cmmlno, Beyerly Bills, Calif. X-RAY VERSUS PHYSICIAN AND DENTIST A physician who flourished In George Washington's day wrote: I can not help thinking that our success in the treatment of 1 0-' f AS a result while the net score to date has been a V German advance, it has been scarcely appreci able at times, and at terrific cost due to the fact, that the Red army has been constantly checkmating the Nazi offensive with a vigorous offensive of its own. Whether this cost will prove to be more than Nazi Germany can pay remains to be seen. But there is no doubt Russia has not only demonstrated the fal lacy of the "invincible theory," concerning the Nazi war machine, but has adopted the tactic that can eventually checkmate, if not entirely invalidate, the Blitzkrieg technique. Peace With Japan? JAPAN doesn't want war with the United States. The United States doesn't want war with Japan, not until Germany is beaten at least. Where two world powers, don't want war, some way to prevent war can usually be reached. So the chances are this personal message from Pre mier Prince Konoye of Japan to President Roosevelt, will result in a betterment of relations between the two countries, and probably a temporary peace. a o BUT there is no point in kidding ourselves. It WILL That is unless Japan is willing not only to commit the unpardonable sin of the Orient, "lose face," but abandon all dreams of hegemony in the Far East And that doesn't, at the present writing seem to be in the realm of possibility. Unless our view of Japanese psychology and char acter is completely mistaken, at least, Japan, under its present government or any other, will fight before it will submit to any national humiliation of that sort. ig line mis ncre inuugu, k.T . , they might even point , QN the other hand, the United States is definitely ever,hero" Is on. thing! ""H & PH7' in8j8t8 D? upun oajjau niuiuionuig Hum viuna, uui maintain ing the open door there and throughout the Far East men means tne united states i.NSlSTS upon the fate that Japan will not accept, without a fight, as suming our theory is correct CO, while a certain appeasement toward Japan may be desireable rather than risk war on two fronts, there should, as we see it, be no disposition in Washington to cease preparations for war with Japan, even though a peace pact of some sort may be agreed upon, at the present conference. For barring the prompt defeat of Germany, and the formation of some League of Nations, with "teeth in it," war between the United States and Japan is as ' irrepressible, sometime in THIS century, as a war between the states was, in the LAST. all chronic dis eases would be very much pro moted by di recting our in quiries into the state of the teeth of sick people and by advising their e x t ractlon in which they are decayed. It is not necessary tnat they should be attended with pain in order to produce disease. . This physician, Dr. Benjamin Rush, after whom Rush Medical college (Chicago) was named, de scribed caes in which extrac- traction of decayed teeth had apparently brought about com plete cure of chronic "rheuma tism" after the trouble had failed to respond to any of the remedies or method of treat ment then employed. "Morbid effects of acrid and putrid matters whlrh are some times discharged from carious teeth," as Rush described what we regard as the manifestations of local infection, might occur even though there were no toothache. Today we know that manifes tations of focal infection, such as chronic arthritis or "rheuma tism" if you prefer, occur in i great many instances without the patient being aware of any pain or trouble in tooth or ton sil or wherever the underlying septic focus or infection may be. The frequehcy of such "silent" focal infection, say a "blind' (painless) abscess about the root of a tooth, or apical infection or root canal infection, or a midus or area of infection in one ton sil, accounts for the practice of indiscriminate removal of teeth or tonsils in cases of chronic arthritis or persistent neuritis Just on the off chance that the source of the "acrid and putrid matters may be thus eradicated Sometimea it Is eradicated, and everybody is happy about it But more times the fishing ex cursion proves luckless, and then everybody Is unhappy about it. X-ray films of tha teeth com monly give evidence of infec tion about the roots even though the patient has had no tooth ache or other indication of any thing wrong. Particularly so in cases of root canal fillings crowns or caps or bridges at tached to the teeth. However, the X-ray film is by no means decisive and in any case should be considered only as confirm ing the opinion of the physicians and dentist as to the advisability of extraction of a tooth or teeth. Neither the dentist nor the phy sician is Justified in advising the sacrifice of a tooth, much less many teeth or all the teeth the patient has left, merely on X-ray evidence alone. Loss of a tooth that is still functionally useful is a serious matter. Loss of several or all of the teeth im poses upon any one a handicap in maintaining good nutrition. Therefore the extraction of one or more teeth should be decided upon only after consultation be tween physician and dentist. Only through such ronsultation can X-ray films of the teeth be interpreted in the best interest of the patient. A physician or dentist who would be arbitrary about this and insist upon sacri E muchado about gasoline on the eastern seaboard is apt to slow down now to a more realistic line nearer the needs of motorists. A shortage of some important proportions is likely to develop in 30 to 60 da"5 unless something is done to bring more gas east. But with a fairly strong senate commit tee now Investigating the facts, it seems certain something will be done. Railroads have told the American Automobile Asso ciation here, for instance, that hey could handle 250,000 gal lons more a day and the price has already been increased suf ficiently perhaps to care for the higher transportation cost. If any part of the pother was started to promote the building of a new pipeline (over railroad opposition) that part can stop now. The pipeline was finally authorized a few days back. Dealers are satisfied with the night closing which excludes a period of slim sales and fat operating cost. Of course the large companies (freed now ap parently from anti-trust ob stacles) have not yet obtained control of the independents, but they can also afford to be calmer for a while.

Readjusting the old adage that the science of war is to get there the fustest with the mostest, an American diplomat recalled that up to now, in Norway, Greece, and elsewhere, the British always got there last with the leastest. London and Moscow concoct ed elegant and possibly sound reasons for their move, but neglected to mention the real one control of the Iran rail way by which the British can feed Russia from the head of the Persian gulf.
