The policy of waiting for the weeds on sidewalk curbs to cut themselves has again proven unfeasible, and will be tried again next year. Peoria Bill Gates went to Ashland last week and Indulged In some freedom of speech at a Forum. He took an oratorical fall out of the Darwin'an theory of evolution, which holds Man sprang from a monkey.

Cleainf time for Classified Ads . av Too Lata to Classify UJO I Editorial Correspondence Seattle, Wash., Sept. 5 More "unusual weather", NOT raining in SEATTLE! (Ah there, Reg!) Not exactly "fair and warmer", but the sun peaks out from scattered clouds every now and then, and Mt Rainier can be seen, occasionally. On unexpected termination of "official business" and tha old reporting instinct, came up here on the "midnight" from Portland to see the Soviet bombers, fresh in from Moscow. Saw them, but that's all! Even the old press card, we printed many years ago in the Sun 'Job office" entitling the "bearer to all privileges of the press," failed to get us in BB-gun range. In fact Judging by the guards thrown about by the U. S. navy, travelling Red avia'ors, don't care any more for freedom of the press, abroad than at home. (And that is about 30 degrees below zero!) But we fared better than some of the Seattle newspaper lads, they were shot at by a middy guard with an itching trigger finger, when the press boat went beyond some imaginary line. Quite a touch of war atmosphere, but silly business. If these Soviet aviators merely flew over to inspect U. S. plane manu facturing, why not treat them as the Britishers on a similar mis sion are treated? Or are there more U. S. Fascists gunning for "Reds" than U. S. Sinn Feiners gunning for Britishers? They even took our field glasses, at the entrance to the navy yard, which perhaps accounted for the fact we were much im pressed by the distant view of the huge sea planes without benefit of binoculars. We were about to claim the mystery of Russian air resistance had been explained when we were Informed the two visiting flying craft had been made by the CONSOLIDAT ED AIRCRAFT CO. OF SAN DIEGO, commonly known as the P.B.Y.-3's, and are badly outmoded by the newer U. S. types. The seaplanes were painted a dull dirty green, with huge single red stars on the fuselage, and guns sticking out of ship-shape little turrets did look formidable to this non-militaristic landlubber, and that flight of 8000 miles over the Arctic circle to Seattle, with nearly SO men was nothing to be sneezed at. But what's it all about? Went back to the Olympic hotel for a late breakfast and as luck would have it ran into a bunch of the "Bolo" flyers coming out of a freight elevator, the only professional flyers in the world we have ever seen who DON'T look smart. They did look strong and resourceful, had we not known otherwise they might have been a football squad from O S C. In street garb, whole some, healthy, husky lads, only they lacked the customary foot ball animal spirits and self assurance. Have an idea the first glimpse of the fabled U. S. plutocracy, awed them a bit. The freight elevator of course was to keep them away from the public and the press. The general belief here seems to be these 90 (47 to be exact) aviators are going to leave their old planes here and fly back a SQUADRON of heavy bombers, fresh from the assembly line with the latest armor protection and heaviest armament. That sounds reasonable, and might explain the unusual secrecy and mystery attending all their movements. The taxi man enlightened us a bit, (as Eleanor R. will testify taxi drivers ara fine sources of cross-section public opinion) by prophesying Uncle Sam will live to regret this hook-up with Soviet Russia. "Walt and see" he cautioned grimly, 'these communist guys will get our best planes and all our construction secrets and then with their 200 millions they will be using it against us one of these days, and we wish we had never seen the dopes. I ain't got any more use for them Russians than for the Germans, and, it was' a sad day when they came into this war, and mark my word for that!" "Anything to beat Hitler," was our rejoinder, "Aw we could have licked him Just as we licked the Kaiser without calling in any Red Russians, and now after Hitler is licked you'll have to lick Stalin, that's my view of It and there are plenty who think the same, I say let Stalin and Hitler fight It out and don't give help to EITHER of 'cm, the more they kill oft the better!" Well, perhaps that Is another reason why the government authorities decided they wouldn't take any chances with this visiting delegation from Moscow. Some Nazi agent in this country might work upon a taxi driver of that type and persuade him that planting a pineapple in one of these Soviet planes would be a very patriotic act. Another grapevine report from a newspaper man: the claim none of these Bolshevikls talk English is the bunk, three of them, including General M. Gromov, talk like natives with an Oxford accent. The 'no talk English" was another dodge to hamstring the press. R.WJl. In The Day's News ' By Frank Jenkins UEADED for Washington, D.

MAY WE HEDGE A BIT For years readers of this col umn who follow the health sug gestions given here have been reporting posi tively that tak ing an iodin ra tion has stop ped the prog ress of achrom o t r i c hia and some of them declare that it has completely cured the trou ble. Within the past three or four y e a rs a const derable number of followers have re ported similar results from sup plementing their diet with vita min B complex. Achromotrlchla is widespread In the North American contin ent and visitors from South America state that it occurs among all classes down there. Fortunately achromotrlchia is practically painless, after the first year or so. There Is no denying that it is painful when you first discover you are com ing down with it. but the pain moderates gradually as the mal ady becomes established. A more familiar name for achromotrichia is canities, which should be pronounced k-nigh-tics but must be pronounced ka-nish-i-ez according to Webster, the a as in ask, accent on the nlsh, the i's short, the e long. While we're consulting Dr. Webster we may as well find out the meaning of achromo trlchia: Absence of pigment In the hair, or loss of the natural color, as when the hair turns gray or white. Some readers, casually noting allusions to this trouble here have assumed that I say that the iodln ration or vitamin B com plex or both will prevent hair from turning gray or restore na tural color after the hair has turned gray. On the contrary I have always been skeptical of this, although I cannot help be ing impressed by the large number of correspondents who have assured me that one or the other or both of these foods have apparently brought back some of the original color to graying hair. Perhaps I am not so skeptical as I would be If either the iodin ration or vitamin B complex could do anybody any harm. But knowing that either or both can do no harm in any circumstance, or believing so. and the press is going out of its pants. You have to put on your rose-colored glasses and work your imagination harder than it's really safe to do in these days of wages and hours if you're to get your money's worth out of Reno tonight. If you're looking for thrills, you'd better come at the be ginning of a three-day holiday, rather than at the end. e AND besides, It's a long road that lies ahead. So let's call It a day.

"THE severity of the senate committee tax bill will be slightly shaved on the floor, more in conference, so the final general form will be about half way back to the milder house bill. All hope of raising two- thirds of the still swelling bud get (now around $22,000,000,000 for this fiscal year) in this bill has been abandoned. All agree to have another bill next year. The senate committee tried to bring in the defense workers, making larger salaries now, by dropping the exemptions, but privately doubts are expressed that much money will be brought In. Many workers will be moving from factory to fac tory, within the year, and whole sale failures to file returns can hardly be avoided. ... A DEFENSE official warned business trade editors the shutting down of plants due to raw material shortages would become very serious in 30 to 60 days. Public repercussions are feared, which might have an in fluence on both defense and for eign policies, if allowed to run. Elaborate offsets are being plan ned by defense officials (special priorities for injured communi ties, special offers of new de fense contracts to small manu facturers, more subcontracting, etc.) In view of the extraordi nary advance attention which government has given the sub ject, the worst apprehensions should be avoided.

Kallr (Note: During tha absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation bis daily column will be written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of our Washington, D. C. staff). By Paul Dunham Washington, D. C, Sept. 8 The washing machine industry of the country consumes eight hundredthx of one percent of the steel capacity of the nation. To effect saving of this small amount Leon Henderson has curtailed the manufacture of washing machines and the fed eral reserve has Imposed regula tions on installment buying which will reduce the sale of the remainder. The infinitesimal amount of steel normally con sumed in this industry will be given to the Soviets in the form of tanks, etc. Meanwhile the vacant lots of the northwest are filled with rusting automobiles with suffi cient steel to make hundreds of washing machines. It is one of the quirks of the defense pro gram. Industries are being de nied metals when there are suf ficient to meet domestic as well as war requirements (plenty of rubber available for tires with out increasing prices), and men are being thrown out of Jobs because of this inability to ob tain materials. The northwest is feeling and will feel the pinch of goods which are not luxuries but necessities. This entire situ ation is headed for a senatorial investigation, which will not be a whitewash. ... TO date the government has failed to keep down inflation, as is well known in the distant states of the far west. Workers in industry are making more money than ever before and they insist on spending it for things which they could not af ford in the past during the de pression. The government is try ing to place a ceiling upon con sumer goods to prevent a rise in prices, but the prices continue to rise. It is the old law of sup ply and demand, and this can not be changed by statute. There are as many chickens be ing raised as ever, but more people can afford chicken and the price responds accordingly. 1 This applies to clothing, shoes and everything else. The gov ernment has not yet found a way to compel people to save. 1 ... CIVIL Aeronautics is prepar ing to request congress for an other few million dollars to carry on tbe construction of ad ditional airports. About a dozen northwest towns have been ten tatively selected for airfields, but until money is available CAA is refusing to particularize where the proposed fields will be situated. While CAA fields can be utilized by the army air corps, the flying soldiers wish to develop their own fields with runways about 4,000 feet in length, or up to 9,000. What CAA would like to have is $100,000,000 and later another appropriation of similar size. Walla Walla has an airport, but not what is desired by the army. Land was purchased and strips were bought for runways into wheat fields, it Is said. As the army requires mora room the Walla Walla people are try ing to purchase the rest of the wheal field, but there is some hitch. Landing fields, formerly adequate fur community needs, 1 are no longer satisfactory for the larger planes, the medium bombers and the interceptors demand plenty of "sea room" and runways desired are a mile or more in length. This new requirement is a pain in the neck for half a dozen communi ties in the northwest, as acquir ing additional land is becoming expensive. ... SHORTAGE of coasters is aid ing several army cantonments now under construction. Until the maritime commission divert ed the coasters to other pur poses the tidewater mills of the northwest used steamers and it required several mon'ns from the time the army placed an order for lumber untii delivery was made. Now the order comes in and the lumber is placed on freight cars and shipped Imme diately and the material arrives in the south, where the can:on ments are being planned, within two weeks. War department says that almost all the lumber being used at Panama canal in the new development there is shipped by steamer from the' Douglas fir mills and after the steamer unloads in th- canal zone it is sent to South America to bring back a cargo of raw r-.fcl.-nals for the s'npilrs be ing accumulated. Th trip re quires 90 dayi. On the west coast arrange ments are going forward to: utilize the strings of tank cars which have been idle on side- tracks on Puget sound, in Port-' lanu ana usiuui ilia putm.. t costs more to transport oil In tank cars than in'steam tankers, but if a pinch comes the -ears will be used and, of course, prices will be upped as a result. Almost all of the tank cars are owned by oil companies and are not the property of the rail roads. Tankers are, of course, owned by the oil companies. . . GOVERNMENT officers crave acquiring Rock Island dam and power house on Columbia river, owned by the Puget Sound Pow er Light Co. The present dam has the foundations in for eight additional units, substantially Increasing the power capacity, and with the predicted shortage, say the government and not the private company has the right to priorities to install the water wheels. G)mrSunications Mora General Lears. Cave Junction, Sept. 4 To the editor: A great deal ia ueing saia la regara to ine morale of the army and of course sometimes mention Is made 'of the public morale. It seems there is a wide differ ence of opinion in regard to this most important thing per taining to our national defense. As a former service man who I has served in both our army iand navy in peace time and war time I have, and I am sure that other veterans have, some dif ferent ideas in regard to the morale of the army. Back in 1908 and '09 a sold ier's pay was $13 per month with an allowance of 143i cents per day for rations plus plenty of discipline. In my opin ion what is needed most in the army, the country, and I might say. congress, is DISCIPLINE, with more men like General Benjamin Lear to hand it out. Discipline builds respect and respect is very essential to morale. Very truly, Elwood Hussey. Eugene Officer Called Portland, Sept. 6. (PI First Lieut. Jack L.
