The gift has been ac cepted and will be shipped to Washington, D. C. Naturalists have long claimed, Man can in timidate a gorilla "by outstaring him." It is recommended that Secretary of the Interior Ickes be named Administrator of the Department of Gorillas, in charge of staring. e Russia and Great Britain have forced the Shah of Persia to leave his throne. Der Shah pos sessed strong pro-Nazis senti ments, so he skinned out for the coast with a strong body guard, and a large supply of Persian .cigarettes. The Persian cigarette was a favorite brand years ago of the valley necktie orchardist set. Their odor was terrific, and often caused a na tive to remark: "Misterl Your golf pants are on fire!" . ARMY MORALE NOTE (Coos Bay Times) "Provisions for the attach ment of apron strings to the United States army uniform is not to be found in any book of regulations." (From a let ter). "A sharp March wind blew cross the lower flats most of the week." (Clear Creek Jot tings). What might be called a tardy breeze, if not ahead of time. The weather the recent sum mer was unfavorable for all growing vegetation, a federal bureau reports. All but the weeds. They struggled along with the weather, and showed the bay trees how to flourish. The Axis powers pour bombs from the air on Cairo, and the British threaten to do the same by Rome. An aerial raid upon their queen city would divorce the temperamental Italians from the sweet illusion they are Im mune from attack, and subject to the tears and terrors of being on the wrong side. WHY COWHANDS CUSt (Pendleton East Oregonian) "Wynn Powers was onto his brute quickly but the hind legs spread out and braced, and then the critter squatted, and nobody knows what kind of things Wynn was thinking. Finally the steer gave In and the time was 35.4." There is an auto for every 3.5 persons in the state, the sec retary of state reports. The .8 person is standing on the corner watching the rest whiz by en route to an accident Finland, after announcing a desire for peace, re-announces there is no chance for a lasting one with the Soviet, and will fight on. Lat year America was sending Finland guns to shoot Russians, and now is hustling weapons to Russia to shoot Finns. It is not definitely known when tha nation will be ship ping cannon to Germany to save Europe from Communism, or what other strange fruits the mix-up will bring forth. FRENCH ESCAPE London, Sept. 18 iT Five shivering French boys, all just under 20, landed at Eastbourne this morning, soaking and ex hausted from an all-night trip across the English channel In a 12-foot canoe to join tha Free French forces. Closing urn for Classified Ads k av Too Last k Classify MJO f Does Russia Tell the Truth? WE are in receipt of a very indignant protest against a recent claim in this column that Rus sian war reports are the least trustworthy, and British war reports the most "On the contrary," declares our enraged communi cant "not only are Russian war reports the most reli able, but for a decade Russia is the only world power that has dared to tell the truth. The fact is, a nation consecrated to the welfare of the masses and that only, has no need to tell lies." SHADES of the late Leon Trotzky and "Saint" T .An in f aWIWU Years ago there was a Nothing But the Truth." Every time a member of a conventional white one, piece of clothing, until, Well the leading lady was down to the mid-Victor ian equivalent of shorts and bras, when the curtain fell, amid gales of laughter. It was a very clever sketch, and as true to life now as it was then, for LITERAL truth telling, has not been conspicuous in "mixed society", since the Garden of Lden. WELL, if Brother Stalin, and his various and sun dry press agents, had been subjected to the same sartorial compulsion, we fear the Soviet dictator and his entourage would have pneumonia. ror true to an old Georgian custom, the man ot steal" they say always sleeps in his underwear, and certainly there would have been less underwear in the Kremlin, than adorns the charter members of that famous California nudist camp, which is none at all. For proof of this statement, we respectfully refer to any public library which has on its shelves the works of Messrs. Eugene Lyons, Louis Fischer, Jean Valtin or scores of others, prevarication known as party propaganda, always has been and still is, a most IMPORTANT part of both Fascist and Com munistic strategy. AS to authenticity of war reports, however, we grant it is a pretty close race between Moscow and Berlin, one forging ahead and then the other. But this much is true, Russian critic will concede Not once, since the first festo by Stalin, has the official Russian press bureau, admitted a serious defeat, acknowledged severe losses of any sort, or even granted the destructive power of the Nazi offensive, or the fighting ability of the German troops. Day after day only Russian successes have been mentioned, the terrific losses inflicted on the Ger mans, the increasing weariness and demoralization of Hitler's forces. Yet during this SAME Stalin manifesto even Russia DOES admit the loss of territory, greater in extent, than the combined area of Norway, Sweden and Finland. MOW we submit that just DOESN'T make sense, the story told by the official Soviet war reports, CAN'T be true, in the face of what the same authority ADMITS. In modern warfare, particularly between two ex tremely powerful nations equally well equipped, thousands of square miles CAN'T be overrun by one side, without being the result of substantial victories; nor lost by the other side without just as substantial defeats. We admit that if the roles were reversed, Hitler might veer as far, perhaps But that, after all, isn t the The point is, whether or truth-telling, is to date the We maintain it is the latter, and an analysis of the Russian reports alone, proves it 1 Will This War End War? DURing World War No. I, there was considerable ollr oKMit ta hqi ir an1 u'oi There has been practically no such talk during this conflict Perhaps, following the pattern of sur prise, the unexpected always happening, World War No. II will prove to be the war that DID end all war. This much is certain. When the world powers become convinced that war does not, and in the modern world, CAN NOT pay, war, except in the nature of minor local disturb ances, will cease. The sole reason the present war ever started was the conviction, principally in Nazi Germany, that another war WOULD pay, all Germany needed to do was to prepare secretly enough, and strike boldly enough. W ith a seven-year advantage, the democra cies would either be bluffed out, or crushed. But now, unless all signs fail, the complete fallacy of that assumption is about to be demonstrated. If experience IS the best teacher, why might not such an outcome convince all nations that war is as out of date as the stage coach. and should, as a matter of UNIVERSAL self-interest, be scrapped? At least, as the situation now stands, there is some basis for the hope. THREE YEARS IN PEN Roseburg. Ore., Sept. 18.

NERVE AND BRAIN C Neurotics, persons who attrib ute their health or behavior de ficiencies to "bad nerves" or "nervous ex- haustlon", be long In one or the other class. Class A neuro tics who are really ill, usu ally with dis turbance or di sease ot some organ other than brain spinal cord or nerves, and either too stin gy or too Ignorant (in the Wise acre way) to procure competent medical attention and find out what really ails them; or Class B neurotics who use "nerves" as an alibi or means of escape from all the responsibilities, trials and cares of an honest life. Mind, now, I am not calling you one or the other. If you are a neurotic you choose your own Class. In the preceding talk about "nerves" I gave a fairly repre sentative statement of the pres ent medical view of "neurasthe nia" which Is vague at best and suggested to Class A neuro tics two common conditions which may cause "abnormal fatigability and exaggerated ir ritability the symptoms so frequently labelled "neurasthe nia". These conditions are anoxia, oxygen shortage in the tissues or cells, and avitaminosis, shortage of the vitamins essen tial for maintaining an adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains. Bellows, of course, means belly. Belly breathing improves circulation. The essential pur pose of circulation is to supply a constant stream of oxygen to the functioning tissue and organ cells, and to carry away the car bon dioxide given off by the cells as a by-product of then functioning. Interrupt this stream of oxygen for a second or two and some of the cells, particularly brain cells and nerve cells may die. Reduce the oxygen supply and the cells are unable to function well. This accounts for the poor memory poor Judgment, unreasonable or odd thinking or behavior of many an Invalid. Crowd out most of the oxygen with carbon monoxide and the victim of the gassing may become not only unable to think but irrational and Inclined to fight or resist efforts to rescue him. Nutrition investigators pro duced "a neurasthenic syn By Frank Jenkins THESE words are written In Washington, the United States of America'! county seat. IN his day, your grandfather hitched up the horses to the buggy or to the farm wagon and went In to the county seat from time to time for those contacts with government that are essen tial to the American way of life. The present generation of Americans takes the train or the plane or gets in its car and COMES TO WASHINGTON. For the same purpose neces sary contacts with government. WE'VE left the horse and buggy days definitely be hind us". We're leaving the county seat days behind. Wahtnctnn Is Increasingly I the center of everything In this country. A MERICANS, of course, have always come to Washing ton. This city from Its earliest days has been a sort of Mecca. Washington has always been a great tourist center. It still is. Job-hunters have always flock ed to Washington. They still do in vast herds. The number of Jobs handed otit in Washington has multiplied unbelievably. But ever-increasingly Amerl cans are coming to Washington for necessary contacts with gov ernment.

The four voluntary subjects complained of fatigue, lassitude, lack of ap petite, vague pains in the region of the heart, burning of the feet, shortness of breath on exertion, muscle cramps, palpitation, and had tenderness in the calf mus cles and oversensitivity in the skin of the lower part of legs and feet. These symptoms clear ed up in three or four days after the diet was again supplemented with vitamin Bl.

QI ESTIONS ANSWERS Shucks, Profeesor Beat Is To It Tour statement that any food combination that appeals to you 1 all right recalU the following, pub lished by Prof. Cathcart, Univ. of Olasgow, In Brltlth Medical Journal long ago: "Eat all kind Nature doth bestow; It will amalgamate below. If the mind says so It shall be so. But If you once begin to doubt The gastric Juice win find It out." (C. U. B.) Answer That makes it unanimous. Headache I suffered for many years from migraine headache. Following your recommends tlon I supplemented my diet with calcium and vitamin D, and promptly ceased to have attacks and have had none for over a year now. Thanks, very much. (R. M.)

Cirrhosis Is Not Sluggish A doctor told my husband he had cirrhosis of the liver or alugxUh liv er. What la the cause of that and how can It be cured by diet or medi cine? (Mrs. A. K.) Asnwer Cirrhosis is hardening of the liver, a serious degeneration, not r er. imaginary sluggishness or tor por of the liver. It would require the best and most constant medical at tention. Lead In Hair Dye Would there be danger of getting lead poisoning from using a hair dye containing sugar of lead? (O H.) Answer A few cases of chronic lead poisoning have been ascribed to use of lead In hair dye. Personally I'd not hesitate to dye my hair with such dye If necessary to hold my Job. for Instance I'd keep my hair well oiled, to prevent dry dandruff It Is by Inhalation of minute partllea of dry dandruff that lead might get Into the body.

Beverly Hills, Calif. approached the boss barber. "When can I get a haircut," he wanted to know. "I've got to be at hearing at 9:30." (It was then nearing 9.) "I'm afraid, suh, you can't make it." the barber told him. He dashed out, obviously wor ried. He'd had his clothing freshly pressed. He'd had his shoes shined. He'd shaved care fully. But at the last moment it had occurred to him that a fresh hair-trim would add to his presentability. And he was des perately anxious to make as good an appearance as possible. He didn't want to prejudice whatever it was he was after by looking run down in any particular. ("Hearing" is a big word back here. There are hearings on this and hearings on that It is at hearings that the citi zen tells the government what he wants to do and why he thinks he should be permitted to do it. Permission from gov ernment Is growlngly important to the transaction of all bust ness. And government is in creasingly centering in Wash ington). IN the turbulent early days of our country, the citizens went armed to the county seat. In Dan'l Boone's time, he car ried his squirrel rifle. In the old West, he hung a six-shooter to his belt In the feud country of the Kentucky and Tennessee mountains, he lugged along his repeating rifle. The Idea was to be prepared for whatever might arise.

The only difference is that in stead of a squirrel rifle or a Winchester or a six-gun he car ries a brief case. The idea is exactly the same to be prepared for whatever j may arise. For that reason, the ' brief case usually bulges. A NYWHERE in the world, you ! can identify the tourist by his camera and his slightly pop- eyed and wholly admiring ex pression. The business visitor to Washington can be identified unerringly and at the first glance by his brief case and his j air of worried preoccupation. AT this beginning of the sec ond week in September, the worst of the hot season is over and the natives (if any) are be ginning to talk of the nice fall weather. But you still go around with a film of perspiration on your person. In the morning you put on a freshly pressed suit, and for a few minutes you fancy yourself as a mirror of fashion. But not for long. In this steamy, humid air your clothes begin to sag almost as soon as you put them on and by the time you get to your hearing or your ap pointment or wherever it is you' are headed for you look as if you'd been sleeping in your clothes for a week. Your hands are moist perpet ually, and you're constantly wanting to wash them. Your brow is moist and you're con stantly mopping it. And the tern perature at night is only a few degrees under the day. The thought of even a sheet over you is more than you can bear. The climate of 'ashingon isn't anything to write lyrics about. (Continued Prom Page One) have been won. The merchant vessels were mostly like the ugly ducklings now being con structed; slow, clumsy affairs, whose speed made them an easy mark for the U-boats, yet they ravigated mine-strewn waters in the best naval traditions. Some of these boats of the other war were armed, although inade quately, and already skippers are asking for the right to carry armament. President Roosevelt says he has no plan to arm the cargo boats, but the betting Is that he will change his mind as the war progresses. Ships from the west coast were sunk from Columbia riv er and Puget sound and lives were lost. Of others no trace has ever been found of ships or ii.en. Unlike the sailors on naval vessels, the seamen of the Amer ican merchant marine received no reward, no pension, and al though they fought as valiantly as the troops in the trenches of Flanders or the gobs of the navy they cannot be buried in Arlington cemetery in the na tinal capital, near the tomb of the Unknown Soldier whose identity is known only to God. MERCHANTMEN shared all the physical discomforts of the navy man. The former had to withstand the stoims in boats less seaworthy than a warship and under conditions which re quired fortitude. Mostly he was helpless when attacked by a submarine and the puny gun mounted on the stern was gen erally Ineffective, but he served it as best he could. After the wo, there were no parades of merchant sailors marching down "Oxl airlsllsiW"1'- I VSrl g,-,MqW'sl,e I Z'i I iepittirniem.wi I V A krimrswWiilat-- I 1 EaTaMOTOMAH I rates I nat Igt-H? 551 I BO tha avenues, no flags, no cheer ing throngs. If he was Injured, as marry were, he was left to lick his wounds alone. The mer chant sailor took hit medicine and did not complain at his lot ' or grouch that he went through the same dangers as the navy men, who were regarded as heroes. e e TALK here is that the public market building on Front ave nue, Portland, may be acquired by the Oregonian and the pio neer paper moved to that loca tion from its old-time site at Sixth avenue and Alder. The market has been in controversy for several years, almost since it was built. It was the first loan that RFC made in Oregon, and RFC contends that the city of Portland should pay back the money. The city thinks other wise. The Oregonian wishes a new home. Loading circulation trucks on Alder and rolls of newsprint on Sixth avenue is becoming more difficult. If a plan can be worked out, the paper will take the market building, move there and dis pose 'of the old brick building (tower and all) in some manner. Manager of the market building is now in the national capital talking to Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation. e e KLAMATH FALLS wants an army air corps base. Fliers, who go to the lake for duck hunting, say that owing to the elevation' they could make a couple of climbing circles and then then swoop down on an airplane car rier at sea in almost no time Thus far the war department is saying nothing, but the airport at Klamath is developing into a very large field, with federal money, and there is hope in the Klamath basin that the wish for an army air base will not be disappointed.
