Editorial Correspondence
Vancouver, B. C,
Sept 7th.
Headed by kilty drum and bagpipe corps, a regiment of
the Women's Army Service In smart blue regalia Just marched
by the hotel swinging their arms far up and down and marching
with (almost) West Point precision. Soon after came a military
band in khaki, leading a regiment of World war navy veterani in
dark blue uniforms with brass buttons, white cap with black
visors, and many medals dangling, they swung their arms too
with a certain exaggeration but not quite so far and wide, the
navy band was playing "Our Director," which if we are not mis
taken was a popular football tune, In New England, 40 YEARS
AGOl
Both groups were going to attend church aVrvtee and Join in
the "national day of prayer." In other words, there Is much more
war atmosphere in Vancouver than was the case, when we were
last here, a year ago.
e .
Then (August, 1940) It was hard to realize Canada was at war.
Now there are too many soldiers, sailors and aviators about the
streets, to leave much doubt And there are more recruiting of
fices, too, not only the abandoned Canadian Pacific bote), but
branch offices here and there. Also on the Hudson Bay corner,

street here, is less keenly interested In the World war today, than
his prototype in Medford, Oregon. For two days now at least we
have wandered about the streets of Vancouver, talked to all sorts
and conditions of the genus homo, and have yet to find a single
individual particularly concerned
seas. We have also kept the editorial ears open in stores and
street cars and on main-stem comers, and not a word about World
war No. 2 have we overheard.
ee.ee
Walters and taxi drivers have
a single instance haa the war been
the subject first, and then the
ablea.
What's the answer? Durned
ence is exceptional, Canada, having been in the war two years,
has less interest in It, than the United States, not in the war, of
ficially at least Which Just doesn't make sense.
a a
One reason may be, the man
at least) thinks it'i all over but
the recent tough-going Adolf is
we don't know, but there is no
Germany is ALREADY beaten, the only question being how long
will it take Jerry (or Heinle) to realize it? A year ago the pre
vailing view here was quite different, with London getting bombed
night after night, and a German invasion expected every other
minute. And yet even then (aa recorded in this column) at the
time there was nothing approaching dismay or alarm, nothing
even approaching war excitement Business as usual materially
and spiritually, was everywhere apparent
. e
Perhaps the Canadian Is far more phlegmatic and self con
tained than his second cousin in the "states." Or there may be
a natural disposition to avoid war talk with American tourists,
the latter not being very difficult to distinguish, apparently.
Then again, there is undoubtedly a certain cleavage between
the man-ln-the-street and the intelllgensia, so to spak.
Including the newspaper profession, among the latter at least,
the one editor we have talked with doesn't share tha supreme
self confidence of the Vancouver rank and file, and frankly ad
mits he is concerned about it.
"Yes, it's true," he said "that tha people here as a whole, no
longer conceive Britain's defeat as POSSIBLE, and totalitarian
defeat is regarded as equally certain. There la no Justification for
such self confidence and we are doing all we can to dissipate it,
but particularly since Russia came In on the allied side, we
haven't made much progress. It's bad all around, and it Ger
many should knock out Russia, and the war drag on for another
vear, the situation as far as Canada Is concerned might be serious.
1 don't mean there would be any disposition to quit but morale so
high now would get an awful kick In the seat of tha pants. The
present government, none too popular, would have to bear the
brunt of that, and it would be no Joke, either politically or
from the standpoint of war effectiveness.
The unpopularity of the present government was indicated
at the movies last night When
the newa reel in England there was faint scattering applause,
purely perfunctory. When the King and Queen appeared, also the
Duke of Kent, there was loud applause while later the figure of
Prime Minister Churchill, barging along with a street crowd
"somewhere In England" brought down the house!
Incldently there la an old boy here, walking about Grenville
street (we have met him twice) with a Churchill flat top "derby,"
a long black cigar, striped trousers and short black coat, yes
and he totters along with a Churchill stoop, but, a tobacco
stained white mustache waxed at the ends, rather spoils the "Win
nie" effect!
However, we think there
about such venerable aping of the popular Prime Minister' sar
torial effect. It was King Edward VII we believe, who finding
his girth Increasing, unbuttoned the lower button on his waist
coat so he could better get his breath,
British tailors promptly were forced to provide the lower
vest button with no button hole, or the one there wa stitched up
and that has been a popular style on Bond street ever since!
m t
Another factor In this war Indifference, is the absence of a ry
racrifires as yet. and of course no "bombs bursting in air," this
side of the English coast. A nail bomber off the banks of New
foundland or a Jap U-boat here in the Pacific, would of course
make a tremendous difference.
Very different during World war No. 3. as far as sacrifices
were concerned. The Canadian casualty lists after two years of
f'ghting in France were terrific. but now w are told, there have
been practically no Canadian casualties except In the air, and
they have not equalled the numbers killed In Canada air training,
on this side of the Atlantic. The Sunday "Province" for example
prints today the largest Canadian casualty list of the present war.
only SS dead and missing, and five from British Columbia. Com
pare that with the hundreds killed over one holiday week-end, by
motor accidents, over In the states and the scores of thousands In
1914.
Again, unlike England, there are no restrictions here except
slight ones regarding "gas." Canadians have all the butter and
jugar and bacon they wtsh, ditto vegetables and fruit and milk.
Utters from their friends and relatives In England, make them
feel farther than ever from the war and therefore very contented
indeed, with their lot.
The bus to the airport is driven by a girl, nattily dressed in
the aviation gray-blue uniform and swanky "service cap" far
over on the side of her hair-do. Very well driven. But there are
few women In civil employment. no need of them as yet. for
except for young men of 21 there has been no draft in Canada, It's
all volunteer, and comparatively few have been sent overseas to
date. Canada has In all about two divisions of infantry "over
there" and 13 squadrons in the air force. The total casualty list
in the latter after two years of war. Is less than 700!

Roosevelt's bark was apparently far worse than his bite, his
frankness was explained by tha fact we had mentioned spending

This was the only approach

elsewhere appeared to be that Uncle Sam la more valuable as a
supply depot than an active belligerent and why should he mix
in it anyway? After all Canada Is a part of the BRITISH EM
PIRE and tha U. S. A. Isn't.

THE WICKED WAYS OF ALLERGY
A year ago (writes a reader)
you told me about the use of sol
uble potassium chloride for al
lergy. The first
time it work
ed like magic.
The next time
not so effici
ently. After
that some
times yes,
sometimes no.
I suppose al
lergy is an un
r e a s o n able
and unpredict
able manifes
tation anyway.
By coincidence, theory, hope
and experiment I have found
that for me a drop of Iodine to
each ten grains of soluble potss
sium chloride makes all the dif
ference. Taken together they
give uniformly prompt results,
and they do not seem to cause
any reaction as they sometimes
do when taken separately, one
without the other. Together
they bring quick relief, and
then gradual return to normal.
But there is still another ele
ment to the riddle (continues
the reader). When I have hives
I find strong cocoa, tablespoon
ful to the cup) satisfies a craving
and seems to activate the other.
tsananas ao likewise, and as
both are rich in phosphorus I
wonder if that is the answer
that my system needs more
phosphorus.
Hives is only the smallest
symptom of my allergy. It mani
fests itself also in sudden weak
ening spells and asthma, heart
irregularity, extreme Irritabil
ity, sharp pains in head, gas in
stomach, disability of the eyes
to focus properly; depression to
the point of contemplating sub
side; besides bumps of pinhead
size and larger whoeals that itch
maddeningly, over the entire
body.
Please give a list of foods that
are rich in phosphorus. Maybe
with luck and patience we can
get a clue to what ails us aller
gies. (S. H.)
What I don't know about al
lergy, cnuaren, would take a
long while to tell.
If the improved effect the
reader obtained by taking a
drop of Iodine along with potas
sium was not coincidence, I
haven't the slightest idea how to
explain it.
As for increased phosphorus
intake. I suspect the benefit the
reader ascribes to that really

Washington, D. C, Sept. 8.
Proposal to carve the Eleventh
circuit court of appeals district
from the Ninth federal district
has developed a controversy be
tween two sitting federal Judges.
Now before congress is a pro
posal to take the pacific north
west states which form part of
the Ninth circuit and create
them as a new district. Most
members of the bai in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska
are in favor of the proposal be
cause It would save them time
and money.
Opponent of the proposal Is
Judge William Dtnman, mem
ber of the court of appeals, who
ha." wVTt en "and issued !
" . . : . . : . . i
a DooKiet of two aozen pages.
Advocate of the new circuit is
Judge Bert E. Haney, a colleague
of Judge Denman. These two
Judges have not always seen eye
to eye In matters brought before
them. Judge Haney, former
democratic national committee
man for Oregon, as a member
of the old United States Ship
ping board disagreed with the
policy of President Calvin Cool
id se and resigned In a blaze of
letters. His present appoint
ment (for life) came from Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt Judge
Denman also had been on the
shipping board. He was ap
pointed to the bench by Presi
dent Hoover, and has been a re
ceptive candidate for appoint
ment to the United States su
preme court.
OREGON-BORN. Judge Haney
has never been happy in Cali
fornia, it is said, and he would
like to see tha new circuit in
the northwest, with the possi
bility of his being transferred
to the north. He says that on
the basis of population, litiga
gatlon and area the northwest
states and the Alaska territory
have a Just contention and there
should be another court of ap
peals. The Judge is backed up
by the important new deal poli
ticians as well as the lawyers.
To offset the demand for a
new circuit, members of the
court have announced ihey will
make two visits to the north
each year, instead of holding to
one trip. Heretofore the court
of appeals has been in session
at Seattle. Spokane and Port
land on the one annual tour
This additional visit is designed
to lull the attorneys by provid
ing double opportunity to dis
pose of litigation.
WHILE it Is probable that poll
tics will prevent the passage of
any legislation for stabilization
of wages, discursion of tts possi
bilities continues among mem
ber of congress end attention
is being given the plan adopted
in Canada as part of the d-v
minion effort to prevent pric
from rising to an unreason
able level. This plan was
evolved by the Ottawa depart
ment of labor and under It wages
are frozen as of a designated
date, with provision tor a bonus
to all worker of 2S cents a
week for each one per cent of
Increase In the cost of living as
determined by a government
commission. If the cost of liv
irg advance as much as five
per cent there is to be an ad
justment in the wage schedules;
the bonus situation Is to be .e
viewed each three months.

Lake City.
Built on a barren, sage-grown
desert, before the mighty back
drop of tha Wasatch range by
a man with courage and vision

Easily one of the West's most

Short Skirt
To the Editor: So our govarn-
. In The. :
Day's
News -
Materials for women's clothe
are cheap nowadays, mosuy
rayon or cotton. Methinks it
would be more profitable for
the national defense to use tha
better material of men's clothes
by cutting off the trousers Just
above tha knee and have them
wear long cotton hose (help tha
cotton grower, by the way) and
then lop off their coat tails at
the waistline a la bell hop. They
would all be better looking than
in the hideous styles men have
stuck to for so many years now
If any of the lords of creation
should happen to be proud of
the ugliest Joint in the mala
body they might stop the heavy
cotton stocking Just below tha
knee and have a Scotch accent
Just leave the women alone.
Does any one really like the
short skirt style? Even on tiny
girls, where the skirt is posasj
lively non-functioning and more
over makes them look like
grasshoppers all legs.
Doe any one really Ilka these
short skirts on the pleasantly
plump or the roly-poly girl?
And a row of short-skirted wom
en on a davenport, isn't a sight
to make good eyes sore? Oh,
it is all so ugly.
