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.

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

Harold , Salt Lake
City, is In the Coalville hospital

(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.

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!

OLD FOSSILS TO THE C. N. W. 8.
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.

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.

for a trans-Columbia bridge be

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

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

Tillamook hag recently dis

cheese and the government is in
the market for still more. The
hens, also, are doing their best,
with three percent more eggs
per 100 hens than were being
gathered one year ago. As In
the case of milk, enormous
quantities of eggs are being sent
to the British, and this fact
accounts for the unseasonably
high prices eggs now command
