According to military experts, neutral observers, Moscow re ports, and half-admissions of Eerlin, Heir Hitler green-clad hordes are taking a sad and scientific beating in their Inva sion of Russia. They are no longer Invincible, like San Fran cisco sport writer paint all college football teams, in the area served by their circulation. Sen. Wheeler, Isolationist lead er. In a speech in his own state, was greeted with volley of eegs. As usual In such cases, the hurler permitted his preju dices to get the better of his aim. The deer hunting season opens tomorrow. The forest service re ports deer are plentiful, though not as numerous as hunters. . NICE OF ADOLFi (Press Dispatch) Berlin, Sept. 18 VP) Adolf Hitler today telegraphed his best wishes to President Avila Camacho on the occasion of Mexico's independence day." The war now raging, heavy editorial thinkers charge, start ed ten years with an 'incident' in Manchuria, where Chinese troops endeavored to take a fridge away from a Japanese force. Then followed a series of world 'Incidents', leading to gang of German paranoiacs coming up with a world con quering notion. No race, lest It be the Eskimos, are better fitted temperamentally to take the blame, than the Chinamen. If It isn't one thing Its some thing else the nation is running out of when least expected, not to mention Secy. Ickes' mythical shortage of gasoline. Now comes word from Chicago the army is In need of beans. Simultaneous ly, the British let out the In formation, they are receiving 050.000 tons of supplies weekly, of which a goodly part are Idaho beans. It should be no trouble at all to nip the Impending great bean shortage, In Its Incipiency. The weather turned off chilly catching many of the fair sex. with their fur coats, but no stockings on. WORD BOONDOOGLINQ (The Dalles Chronicle) "And now, convoys! Presi dent Roosevelt and other members of the administra tion scrupulously avoid use of the word, for the president once declared solemnly that the United States would not resort to convoys, for "con voys mean war." So the term "escort" is used, instead of convoy." Candidates for congress have started to spring up like a mush room or service station. . SOMETHING HAPPENED Harold , Salt Lake City, is In the Coalville hospital ruffering from head cuts and bruises after being thrown on to the middle of tha highway when his car overturned several times after losing control of It. Monday forenoon, one and one half miles west of Wasatch on Wasatch Hill, said Moore. Dep uty sheriff of Summit County He wsa driving at a high rate of speed, passed a car. lost con trol, ran off the road into rocky rut, rolled over on side and back end ways, throwing him out of the car, which Is a total loss." (Ogdea (Utah) Examiner). "The World of Sports" TIHTH the football season about to begin, the " World Series in the offing, while the Cards and Dodgers are staging one of the greatest big league finishes in baseball history "we the people" should be thankful for the world of sports. This is particularly true at the moment, for the war news is pretty sour. Russian lines in the Ukraine appear to be breaking, Leningrad apparently faces the tragic fate of War saw, more than ever before one wonders why during all these many weeks, England failed to stage even a minor diversion in the west. HTHE lack of ships is given as the main reason. But certainly England had enough shipping to get a badly battered army from Dunkirk to Dover, under constant German attack, over a year ago. It would seem, to a man up a tree, that England could have scraped up enough boats to get a rejuve nated and re-equipped army free from any such enemy air and artillery attack, safely along the re verse route, from Dover to Dunkirk. Mystification over this inaction, would not be so intense, if it were confined to far-off United States, 3000 miles away. But an increasing number of English newspapers, English labor leaders, and English military experts, are asking the SAME question. To date it hasn't been satisfactorily answered. There SHOULD be some good and sufficient reason, but if so, the Churchill government has not divulged it. MEANWHILE there is reason to believe, these very discouraging London reports, regarding the Rus sian situation, are being released now with a definite purpose, to arouse the United States to the urgent necessity of increasing and accelerating aid to Russia. Therefore to a certain extent it is probably safe to discount them somewhat. But even so, placing the best possible construction up on them, the situation in Russia from the allied standpoint is far from cheering in fact it is increas ingly serious. And being serious, not only to Europe, but even tually this country, it may seem somewhat flippant, to suggest turning from the war news to the sport pages, as an "escape . MEVERTHELESS all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and too persistent contemplation of bad news without relief, is hard on national morale, here or anywhere else. Therefore we do advise those who enjoy sports, to skip or skim the war news for a while, and con centrate upon what is going on or about to go on, in the world of sports. As for those who don't enjoy sports, Heaven 'elp 'em I they ARE in a tough spot I "The World of Money" A member of the Republican County Central Com- mittee, with a certain suggestion of malice asks what we think about the country's financial situation. ' Don t you think the people should be told SOME THING about it," he coldly inquires, "before the country goes completely bankrupt?" NO doubt, no doubt. 13nt tranlrlr wa rlrm'f Vnnxir iiict WHAT tn Bgv XUV 11 (.11 Ik 11 . 1 VI V 1 1 V (IV,, JIIUW w I 1J . As the late Calvin Coolidee remarked about sin, we are against it, but don't know just what to DO about it Then there is the alternative. If we don't spend this money to assist Hitler's enemies in Europe, how can a Hitler domination of Europe be prevented? And show us any sane, right-thinking American citizen who would want that? Show us any such citi zen who wouldn't willingly go broke, completely STONE broke, to prevent it! a FOR after all there are worse things than losing one's money, among them losing one's life, or the life of a member of one's family. And our friend's complaint, as we understand.it, does not deal with the cost of a SHOOTING war, but the cost of serving as a supply depot to others, Britishers, Russians, free Frenchmen, etc, etc., etc., who are willing to do the shooting and the dying for us. THE cost we grant is TREMENDOUS. 1 The national debt has passed the $50,000,000,000 mark and now President Roosevelt asks for 6 billion more to add to it. We are apparently on the way to a $100,000,000,000 debt. We don't LIKE it. We won't even deny that if this rate of expenditure is continued another year or two the country will go bankrupt. (We DOUBT that. But we don't know enough about money to prove it isn't correct.) DUT granting ALL this to be true. Granting also, its - undesirabilitv. Isn't the alternative, and as we see it the ONLY alternative, WORSE? We most decidedly think it IS! VES, if Hitler CAN be stopped, if world domination by the totalitarian forces of lawlessness, cruelty and hate, CAN' be prevented, merely by the expendi ture of MONEY by the people of the United States, then as far as we are concerned, let's go and let the sky be the limit! We are not going to worn- about precisely what that total cost may be. For WHATEVER it mav add I up to in dollars and ceuU?, it will be WORTH it! . i Personal Health Service Br WMUm Brady. M. D.

Professor of Surgery in one of tha best medical schools ob served in a recent communlca tjon published in the Journal of the American Medical Assoc iation: "Surgery was abandoned sev eral years ago In the treat ment of varl cose veins be cause of the high mortal ity and ex pense of this method when compared with the Injection treatment." Ho, hum! When the chemical obliteration of varicose veins was recommended in this col umn as the method of choice the reaction of a good many "big shots" in the medical profession was typical. When their patients diffidently Inquired about it and acknowledged that they had read about it in this column, the "big shots" exploded and in a pardonable excess of vituper ation some of them asserted that the idea was preposterous. Much the same line as the old fossils in the profession take in regard t any new method such as the diathermy extirpation of infec ted tonsils, the ambulant (injec tion) treatment of hemorrhoids and hernia. All of these modern methods have been condemned as worthless, dangerous or im practicable by numerous old fogy practitioners everywhere. Quoting further from the surgeon-teacher's remarks: "In 1921 it was evident that a large proportion of patients were not having their varicose veins treated. The large num ber of old sloughing varicose ulcers was evidence of this. A few years after we began the Injection treatment of var icose veins, varicose ulcers were rare." It takes a degree of hardihood on the part of the doctor who seeks to persuade a patient to undergo surgical treatment for varicose veins. It takes outright fortitude on the part of the pa tient who submits to such treat ment today. Darned if I would In any conceivable circum stance. There are recurrences with this method as with all other methods, but patients do not hesitate to return to have these recurrences treated with the In jection method as they do when trentcd surgically." That attitude of the patient applies also to the injection trertment of hemorrhoids and the injection treatment of her nia. Dropping into the doctor's office for a few more Injections, If necessary, is indeed an easy matter compared with returning to hospital for another opera tion. There Is no foundation for the quaint notion of many of the old fossils that treatment of enlarg ed or infected tonsils must re move every bit of tonsil in order to be effective. Attempts to achieve that are to blame for many of the unfortunate and disastrous results of tonsillec tomy. Complete removal of all tonsil tissue from any throat is Justificable only in rare condi tions, such as malignancy.

WASHINGTON, in Its general atmosphere, is a Southern city, and It has an immense black population. It's not at all uncommon to see a taxicab with a white driver flagged by a gentleman of color and his girl friend, who ride off in state with their chins in the air.

I OPM, however, can not re move these restrictions Itself, and the matter has been passed up to the governor and the state highway commission. A bill to make the Oregon regulations conform with the adjoining states was defeated by the Ore gon legislature last spring, al though the measure had the sanction of the highway com mission. ... PORTLAND city officials are wondering what has happened to their housing project. Two months ago the city conducted a survey at the request of the defense housing authority, with the assurance that the project would get under way immedi ately. The survey recommended 500 permanent houses, which would represent at least $1,500, 000. Becoming impatient, Port land has written to headquarters of the national housing admin istration to inquire what Is wrong. Assurances have been sent to the mayor that the matter has not yet received the approval of President Roosevelt, but may within a fortnight. ... FLYING corps is said to have slapped down on the proposal for a trans-Columbia bridge be tween Astoria and Pacific coun ty, Washington. This project has been discussed since 1933, when the administration was anxious to provide employment for idle men and has been engineered and checked repeatedly. Now, with the development of a naval flying base at Tongue Point, navy men object to a bridge and refuse to sanction one. The explanation: In thick weather at the mouth of the river the navy pilots must use their flying patrol boats and they do not wish the hazard of a bridge In the estuary. ... THE department of agricul ture, in statistics recently made public, says that the dairy cow is doing its share toward win ning the war. Oregon cows, for example, are now yielding 17.2 pounds of milk per cow per day (Idaho cows are giving down 20.8 pounds a day), and an in creasing amount is going to the cheese factories, the cheese from which la being purchased by the government for shipment to England under the lend-lease act.

The hens, also, are doing their best, with three percent more eggs per 100 hens than were being gathered one year ago.
