from red can, while the lone
fishermen tliced fat bacon.
Then Charley Young came drift
ing In soft-footed as shadow, to
lean his gun against the sugar
pine, and John, squatted there
on his boot heels, looked up at
him with a question. The silent
answer was no. Muffled and
distant they heard a single
rifleshot They looked up, and
glanced down.
"It's too dry." said John
Hammersly. lighting a twig in
the fire, and drawing deeply at
his tobacco. "Did you see Lee
anywhere?" Charley Young
eased hit bootlaces and shook
hit head. But John lifted alert
ly, while the fisherman paused
over the bacon, knife lifted. It
was to still seemed like you
heard. In the . southern Oregon
woods, the voices that are yon
aide of stillness.
"Yonder he comes," said John
Hammersly, relaxing, and pull
ing again at his brown paper
cigarette. In a moment they
heard the crackle and swish of
forced brush. And, rifle In arm
crook, Lee came into camp.
Chuckle-chuckle-chuckle ran
the flow of the hill stream,
where the trout had risen to
trike at the whiskers on Doll's
muzzle. Lee set his gun down
against the big friendly tree.
"You fellows get a shot?" he
asked, eyeing the bacon, and it
was beginning to curl in the
pan. John and Charley both
shook their heads. The cool
a h a d o w t were lengthening.
"Nope," said John Hammersly.
Then Charley Young looked at
Lee as though it were over a
dingy green card table. More
still than silence, and an ember
crackled loudly.
"Well, boys," said Lee, "I'll
tell you ". The bacon was
scorching. Lee giggled. "I might
as well tell you," he said. 'I
threw down on a deer, seemed
like It was a full hundred yards,
and I let him have it. I got him
all right, but when I walked
over, why. It wasn't twenty
paces." There was a long still

ed the bacon again.
"Where's your deer then?"
asked John Hammersly and
Charley Young, he Just looked
at Lee.
Lee giggled again. "Well, you

"It looked like a full hundred
yards. In that light, but time t
walked up to that deer it wasn't

fawn. Yea sir; It wasn't any

still on It."
John Hammersly spat crisply
Into the flame. And Charley

I think you are right regarding the absence of any rea.
fighting spirit in this country, but don't think It fair to blame
President Roosevelt. In fact, the chief blame rests on the
newspapers like your own, that have been printing lies about
the war for two years. You continue to print them. Jus.t to
night you claim, the Russians are throwing back the Germans
and have killed two million of them, the losses to bad that
Hitler has had to take all hit troops from Frnnce and call on
Mussolini for more. Why should this country be eager to
fight and die for England, when Germany it getting to badly
licked without any more help than we are now giving. This
Isn't anything new. Ever since the war started the news
paper! in this country have fed the people propaganda instead
of the facts, showing Germany getting knocked about all over
the place, until Germany finally wins and the trutli can no
longer be denied. I have no use for Germany 01 Hitler, but
I do grant them this much, they have told the truth about
the fighting In this war and no other nation hat. And the
flies of your own paper show it, and I am no pro-German

At the suggestion of a friend
of mine, (writes an eastern read

an experience
of moment to
me
Some time
ago I suffered
from a catar
rhal ulcer of
the eye. Dr ,
the oculist
whom you pro
bably know,
treated mo suc
cessfully and
pre scribed B

system, particularly my eyes,
which had been under consider

After about three months on
the B complex capsules 1 no

that hair was gVowing on the
top of my head, previously quite
bald ...
Oh-oh. There it goes again.
I had been bald (resumes the
reader) for approximately fifteen
years, although now only 42
years old. Of course I have con
tinued taking six B complex
capsules daily. The growth Is
not readily visible since the
hairs are very fine and blond in
the main, but at certain parts of
the head the hair line it slowly
creeping up. Friends ridicule the
Idea, but I am definite in the
assertion that my hair it grow
ing In again. How far it will
grow I do not know. (S.H.B.)
Attaboy. Cling to your convic
tion despite everything. The duy
you acknowledge your baldness

be a horrible one. Let me offer
a suggestion don't make up

many letters like yours, most of
them telling of restoration of
natural color to graying hair,
some of them declaring hair has
started to grow in again after
years of baldness, since the writ

with vitamin B complex. In
about half of these cases the
writers mention that they have
also been taking an Iodine ration.

I pletely covered the bald spot.
But just the same, these testi

helped me to stay young.
On request, if you provide a
stamped envelope bearing your

monograph "Care of the Hair"
which includes instructions for
increasing the vitamin B com

iodine ration. Whether these
suggestions prevent hair from
turning gray or from falling out
or not, I know they can do no
harm in any circumstances and

that was encountered last win

contractors building additional
cantonments and air fields In

available to build the transmis

location of plants and the
routes of the lines are mapped
there can be no orders issued

OPM Is not pleased with the
Truman committee, recently
holding hearings in Seattle.
Members of the committee,
when they could not induce
a witness to criticize OPM,
promptly made their own state
ments. This is not in pursuance
with the usual policy of senate
Investigating committees, where
testimony is limited to the
statements made by witnesses
and then, finally, a report is
published which sets forth the
recommendations of the com
mittee. In Seattle, however, the most
lively attacks on OPM came
from the senators, who, appar
ently, were provoked at their
interpretation of the policies of
OPM in the matter of minerals
in Washington state.
The hearing developed ad
ditional chapters to those un
earthed by the O'Mahoney com
mittee, sitting at the capita!,
and the hearings conducted by
Oregon's Holman In California
and Oregon, all of which show
ed the immense deposits of raw
materials in the northwest and
the failure of the government
to take advantage of these do
mestic resources. Enough mem

THE states of Oregon and
Washington might well take a
leaf from the book on refor
estation being written in ex per
iments now being carried on
by the state of Idaho. The Gem
state has inaugurated a feasible
and intelligent program for a
reforestation project and a plan
lor the rehabilitation of its first
offending convicts. The plan,
which had been developed un
der the direction of State For
ester Franklin Girard, was
"sold" to the state prison board
when Girard explained to its
members his idea for the re
habilitation of Inmates of the
state prison. Work done by the
prisoners will not be unlike that
now being dine by some CCC
camps. A nursery containing
about six million small pine
trees has already been planted.
It will be the task of the pris
oners to keep it up. to work in
the mountains on reforestation
projects and, in the winter
months, to repair and build fire
fighting equipment. Men used
in these projects will be limited
to trusties and first offenders.

The War Today
By
By Dawltt MacKtnsia
Special Writer
By DeWitt MacKensie
The London press today
blazed with reports of the accu
sation made In the Trade Union
j Congress at Edinburgh that Col
onel J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon,
British minister of aircraft pro
duction, had expressed the hope
that the German and Russian
I armies would "exterminate each
other" and leave Britain the
I dominating power in Europe.
I This high-explosive was toss
ed onto the floor of the labor
conference by Jack Tanner,
president of the great Amalga
mated Engineering Union, who
said he could prove his accu
sation. Later an authoritative
quarter in London said Tanner
"evidently refers to a passage in
a recent extempore speech
which was open to misinterpre
tation." It also was pointed cut
that the minister recently said
Britain must give the Soviet full
war support.
Whatever may be the final
explanation of what the colonel
did say, we of course know that
the thought which he Is alleged
to have advanced doesn't rep
resent the avowed policy of the
British government.
Anyway, the importance of
this Incident lies in the fact
that the idea of domination of
Europe is still knocking about,
and apparently isn't confined to
the tea-tables of any individual
country.
When Herr Hitler inaugur
ated his program of expansion
by force he made it evident
that one of his main objectives
was to destroy what he claimed
was England's overlordship of
the continent. That's where the
war began with the fuehrer's
desire to deprive John Bull of
his title as policeman of Europe.
Like most wars, however, af
ter It got rolling it grew and
changed its complexion. Hitler's
program expanded with suc
cess, until there Is no doubt
that the very lives of England
and other countries are now at
stake. It is a life or death strug
gle. It Is notable that because of
these changes it was almost two
years before the allies felt able
to lay down their peace terms.
When it was done in the joint
announcement of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill it was set down that
there would be equal rights in
the new post-war world. This
was essential, because the peo
ples of the axis countries had
been taught that an imperialis
tic England was bent on de
stroying them so as to dominate
Europe.
It would be interesting to
know how the inscrutable
sphinx of Moscow, Comrade
Stalin, regards the expression
attributed to Colonel Moore-
Brabazon. Likely he will merely
'grin and remark to himself that
jthe idea isn't copyrighted.
I Russia is interested in the ex
i pansion of communism rather
I than in territorial gains. That
always has been the great aim
of the Bolshevists to extend
communism throughout the
I world. A Europe shattered by
; war and hunger and disease, as
i It now bids fair to be, would
' provide the sort of soil Moscow
seeks for the planting of the
I seeds of communism.
