In all crime fiction from the
yellow-backed dime novel to the
fancy written (3 per copy thril
ler bound In Persian leather, the
"Apaches" of Paris have always
been painted as the slickest and
slyest criminals who ever slit a
throat, or stole milk bottle off
a back porch before breakfast.
They specialized In cruelty,
reeked with criminal cussedness,
and after breaking the law, the
G-Men, Scotland Yard, and a
movie detective of Chinese ori
gin, couldn't catch them. They
were generally shy one eye, lost
in combat, wore berets, and
were called La Scorpion, La
Scourge, or La Plague of Paris.
They were numerous, with hide
outs In sewers, and crossed In
love they cast their girl friends
Into the Seine, while hissing
"Abas!" Since the Nazi occupa

conquerors. The black-hearted
wretches must be off some place
herding sheep.

The War Changes Overnight
A NOTHER surprise in this ever surprising war!
Almost overnight the entire character of the con
flict has changed from one very important angle.
That angle is that of time.
"NLY a week ago, the most encouraging feature
of the conflict was the fact that time was definite
ly on the side of the allies.
. The Germans appeared checked in the mud over
200 miles from Moscow. The war of movement seem
ed slowly but surely declining to a long war of posi
tion. And above all and before all, the Russian winter
was just over the hill top.
Therefore the longer the war remained in the
status quo, the better for the allies and the tougher
on the Bosche.
a
DUT now with the fall of Kiev, the Russians final
ly admit it the closer encirclement of Leningrad,
and the latest S.O.S. from the Kremlin,
Everything is completely changed. Time, instead
of being Soviet Russia's greatest ally, is her greatest
threat
Speed, speed and more speed, is the despairing cry
from Moscow, planes, tanks, guns, airmen, every
thing !
Unless help comes soon, and in tremendous pro
portions, all is lost At least that is the broad inter
pretation of the latest bulletin via London, and the
fact that Russian refugees have even reached Moscow
tends to confirm it
UOWEVER, there is THIS consolation. A war that
can change so suddenly and completely in ONE
direction, can change, just as suddenly and complete
ly, in the other.
By nature, by numbers and by morale Russia has
tremendous powers of resistance. Two months ago
Berlin claimed the Red army had been scattered, the
Red airforce dispersed, the road to Moscow was open.
Eight weeks followed during which Hitler's army
was hard pressed at least in the Moscow sector to
hold its own ground, much less make any advance,
on the road it claimed was opn.
CO the basic pattern in this war may repeat itself.
The present decidedly dark prospect, may in
another 48 hours, suddenly be transformed into sun
rise and a returning and reviving daylight!
Here's hoping for the sake of Russia and all
Europe !
Danger
COONER or later, probably the former, Presi
dent Roosevelt will have to take definite leader
ship in the matter of inflation.
Messrs. Henderson and Morgenthau, with various
members of their administrativ staffs and a few sena
tors, are rendering valiant service in this direction.
In addition to urging definite action in the price
control realm, they are courageously advocating re
lease of surplus wheat and cotton, in government
store houses, economy in non-war directions, a more
radical extension of the tax base than even the new
tax measure just signed by the President provides.
IT takes courage and genuine statesmanship to stand
out against a rising tide of material prosperity,
which is an inevitable product of inflation in its pri
mary stages, and prick the bubbles of easy affluence,
which are rising on the horizon, to lure so many and
so diverse selfish interests.
But THAT MUST BE DONE if real and devastat
ing destmction is to be avoided. For like acute alco
holism which eventually kills, the initial stages of
inflation are pleasing and inevitably arouse a false
sense of security and well-being, which lures the
victim on to disaster!
DEFORE this war is over, the occupant of the White
House for a third term, must meet many severe
tests of stamina and character, but perhaps none
more certain than this one of inflation, which is
already on its way, although only a small minority
of the people, realize the fact
For a person as politically minded and habituated
as President Roosevelt the stand which will displease
so many of his supporters, will be very difficult to
make.
But it must be done if a major disaster is to be
prevented. And as we see it, no one can do the job,
but Franklin Delano Roosevelt!
Just a
THIS is only a guess, but sometimes guesses are
interesting even if later proved incorrect.
That guess is that Britain is preparing to attack
somewhere in the west, and has been ever since Hitler
marched into Russia.
But such preparation takes time, a great deal of
time and much material.
fyjEANWHILE, and' this Vanother part of the
guess, the British secret service is working over
time, arousing armed opposition in the German occu
pied areas, France, Norway, Jugo-Slavia, etc.. etc.
what miht be termed a "fifth column" attack with
reverse English, so to speak !
The simultaneous uprising in so many countries
has been somewhat mystifying such a program
would explain it.
Finally, of course, if this were the British plan, the
last thing to do would be to let the fact leak out,
therefore all thee denials, that anything of the sort is
even contemplated, or if it were could be accom-

A WORD TO THE WISEACRES IS A WASTE OF BREATH
In your effort to be brilliant
or witty you generally succeed
In being ambiguous or mislead
ing, a corres
pondent points
out. You may
amuse certain
readers whose
intelligence is
limited, but
does that Jus
tify the contu
sion and the
unhip plness
your teachings
bring to thous
ands of suffer
ers whose only
offense is that they have bad
nerves?
(A. R. H.)
As I have endeavored, how
ever vainly, to make the same
reader understand, the trouble
with people who are certain
their trouble is "bad nerves,"
"weak nerves," "nervous ex
haustion," "neurasthenia" or
whatever they prefer to call it,
is that they know more about
the physiology and pathology of
the nerves than physiologists and
physicians do. That is, the class
B neurotics do. Class A neuro
tics are amendable to reason.
Now in order to make this clear
I'll quote from the green book
"Nerves and Nutrition":
"Class A neurotics are really
ill, that is, they have something
the matter with one or another
organ or function, though it is
usually not the brain, spinal cord
or nerves that is affected. . .
"Class B neurotics are the
genuine mooch ers who use their
bad nerves as an alibi or a
means of escape from any and
all of the trials and tribulations
of life they shove everything
onto the shoulders of their as
sociates, friends or relatives, in
short they practice nervous im
position. . ."
It was not this classification
that brought the admonition of
the correspondent. Instead, I
had quoted a recognized author
ity's definition of "the neuras
thenic syndrome" (group of
symptoms characteristic of the
condition:
"Tension and irritable weak
ness states, frequently alluded to
as neurasthenia and nervous ex
haustion, are manifested in com
plaints of fatigability, weakness
and exhaustibllity, head pres
sures, poor sleep, irritability,
pains, subjectively poor memory
and difficulty with concentra
tion . . . the etiology (cause) of
this condition is not clear. . ."
Not clear Is right. That is the
state of the authority's mind.

From Washington
Municipal Power
Doomed by Bill
Tacoma, Eugene
Specific Targets
Silk Stockings
To Be Out in '42
By Joha W. Kelly
Washington. D. C, Sept. 22.
Careful examination of the Col
umbia power authority bills al
ready introduced in congress
will reveal a neat little Joker
at least one. This is giving the
authority the right to condemn
and acquire the municipal power
systems ss well as those of the
private utility companies. Com
petent lawyers and a number of
legislators in congress who have
studied the two measures al
ready printed declare that under
their provisions (either one) the
famed cheap power plant at Ta
coma, Wash., and the municipal
plant at Eugene, Ore., each an
outstanding success in municipal
ownership, can be, and probably
will be. snapped up by the gov
ernment in its plan to control all
the sources of electrical energy,
public or private, in the Faeific
northwest.
It should be explained that the
two bills, one introduced by
Rep. Knute Hill at the request
of the interior department and
vesting control of power In Sec
retary Harold L. Ii-kes, and one
by Sen. Moaner T. Bone, provid
ing tor a board of three direct
ors free from any domination
from the national capital, are
almost identical in all respects
except the method of adminis
tration. This is why the Joker
dealing with municipal plants is
in both measures.
a a
AS the matter stands, either
measure is a threat at municipal
i ownership of two going con-
cerns. Neither community is
mentioned specifically, but
there, in the proposed law in
tmr, ;rd by memi-en rf r"!

of every medical writer or au-
thorlty and every medical prac
titioner who imagines there is
any such thing as nervous
energy, nervous exhaustion or
weakness or neurasthenia or
nervous prostration. Of course
many thousands of practitioners,
specialists and charlatans still do
imagine there is some such con
dition and as long as they do,
class B neurotics will continue
to get away with it.
Dh. J. S. McLester noted that
many of the pellagra patients
seen in a large hospital in Ala
bama were considered "neuras
thenics"' before the nature of
their trouble became manifest.
It is now recognized that de
ficiency in the intake of nico
tinic acid (one of the entitles of
the vitamin B complex) is the
chief cause of pellagra, but de
ficiency in the intake of other
entities of the B complex, especi
ally thiamin (B), accounts for
many of the nervous and men
tal symptoms in pellagra.
Everywhere on the North
American and South American
continents many thousands of
persons suffer from moderate
vitamin B complex deficiency
(due to the destruction or re
moval of vitamin B complex in
processes of preparation and
preservation), and here is the
real trouble In a great many
cases of so-called "neurasthe
nia." 0,1'ESTIONS li ANSWERS

thorlty to acquire these home
owned Institutions. The provi
sion is so broad that the author
ity can take by condemnation
any power utility within the
region of Idaho, Washington or
Oregon that the authority con
siders will serve Its purpose.
To this end $200,000,000 is
authorized In the two bills, a
sort of revolving fund, and from
this fund payment can be made
for any plant the authority de
sires. Including Eugene and Ta
coma, from generators to trans
mission lines and distributing
system. At present Paul J.
Raver, sales aent for power
from the federal projects on
Columbia river Grand Coulee
and Bonneville is wholesaling
energy. A distributing system
is for retailing. The distributing
system can be disposed cf to a
PUD, if any such organization
wants it.
TACO.MA'S low power rates
have been exploited for years
and these have been used by
government ownrrship cham
pions to urge congres to launch
the vast power program in the
! west Boulder, Sha5ta. Bonne-
ville. Grand Coulee. Fort Peck,
etc. Not so well known are the
Eugene rates, which are far
lower than the government rate
I at Bonneville. As Tacoma and
I Eugene are producing hydro-
electricity and disposing of it at
a rate below that of Adminis
trator Raver, the government
would like to remove this com
petition. The method for doing
so is provided in the Columbia
power authority bills. The steps
would be as follows: (11 condemn
'and acquire; (2) fix the rate
schedule of these municipal
plants to conform with the rates
:of Grand Coulee and Bonneville,
and then have these revised (up
j ward) rates approved by the fed
eral power commission.
The policy of the ariminitra
tion Is to provide power, at the
ame price, to all customers
(wholesale) wherever the custo
mer is located whether on
Puget sound, being supplied
from across the state at Grsnd
Coulee, or at Vancouver. 40
miles from Bonneville. Only ex
ception is a small rone rf 10
i!es arourd the plant given a
ItcV.board rite.
Secretary Icka hn obircted
to Tacoma cxpandirij U plant.
Administrator i Raver has con
structed transmission lines to
the edge of Eugene. Lines are
being run into Tacoma by the
government to furnish power
for a new aluminum industry.
The "power boys" resent the
competition from the municipal
enterprises: regard their own
competition with private utili
ties ss perfectly proper.
When the committees hold
hearings on the Hill and Bone
bills in the near future a num
ber ot amendments will be pro
posed. Among them will be one
to eliminate the municipal
plants, and this will probably
bring the entire subject into the
open. Eugene and Tacoma are
not the only municipal plants in
the northwestern area, but they
are the largest and will make
the most vigorous fight against
being absorbed. A dozen small
municipal plants will be af
fected. IN the other war the govern
ment said what things the people
could use, in some instances.
This will not be done now. In
stead of telling women to wear
silk hose but to use cotton, the
government merely stops manu
facturers from obtaining silk.
What substitute the women will
wear is up to manufacturers,
with the approval of the women.
By 1942 it is asserted that silk
hose will be as scarce as the
dodo, as none will be made
when the supply of silk now in
the hands of the makers and
dealers is exhausted.

WASHINGTON, as has been
frequently noted before in
these chronicles, is the county
seat of the United States of
America. With government in
creasingly concentrating in the
national capital, it is obligatory
for people to come here from all
over for their nece-ry contacts
with government.
And since government is daily
increasing its authority over
business, the number of these
necessary contacts is growing
amazingly.
DUT even that doesn't tell the
story.
With defense dominating ALL
Industry in America, Washing
ton has become the BUSINESS
nerve center of the nation. It Is
the bottleneck through which
contracts, orders, commitments
and business plans of all sorts
must pass. For in these days all
business hinges on defense.
It is here that business men
of all kinds and conditions and
sizes must come to find out
where they're at, what they can
do and what they can't do.
a e a
THERE'S still more to the pic
ture. Time was when hopes of large
industrial development in ambi
tious American communities
centered around the mysterious
money powers in Wall Street.
If these high gods sitting on the
misty heights of the citadels of
finance could be properly pro
pitiated, unbelievable benefits
in the way of new progress, new
development, new growth, new
employment, In new booms and
other delectable phases of the
then American way of life could
be realized.
So ran the thinking of the
generation now passing.
e
ALL that is changed.
"Now new progress, new de-

a
(XXZ figure, quit typical, tn
the vast picture:
He is a middle-sized producer
of one of tht basic raw mater
ials. Middle-aged. Ruddy. With a
good smile and a ready sens of
humor. He wants a loan from
the RFC to put his plant on its
feet and get it in shape to turn
out its product speedily. (And
with enough profit to recoup
some of th losses of the past
tough years.)
He has been hera three
months. He doesn't know how
far he has got. He doesn't know
when he will finish. He doesn't
know how the finish will affect
his fortunes. But only here can
he get the answer.
So he makes appointments,
waits interminably and pays his
hotel bills.
A NOTHER figure:
"A young man, who has a
new idea about boats and barges
to be built of something other
than steel which is scarce and
getting scarcer. He has good
backing. His backers know
whera to lay hands on technical
skills not yet utilized in the de
fense effort. The materials he
proposes to utilize are still rela
tivel yabundant.
(They come into competition,
of course, with steel, and in the
utilization of them in the de
fense effort things might be
learned that would make them
PERMANENT competitors of
steel. Which adds to his problem.
And perhaps to the delays he
has encountered.)
He has been here two months,
has worn out (he claims) two
pairs of pants Just sitting and
waiting, and doesn't know how
long he'll have to wait before
getting a yes or no answer.
IF you like to sit and wait,
come on to Washington. You'll
find it heaven, for you'll be
spending most of your time do
ing the thing you like best to do.
If somebody here ever organ
izes an international union of
sitters and waiters, the resulting
accumulation of dues will bear
a close resemblance to the
national debt.

When you recall that the Gettys
burg front was about 7 miles
long and that Lee's early success
in a smash at the center after
failing at the flanks didn't have
any effect, you can appreciate
how little a slight denting of
the Nazi lines around Smolensk
will have on the northern and
southern drives except, perhaps,
to put the armies defending
Moscow in a salient or pocket
outflanked from both north and
south.
This dangerous situation seems
to be recognized and admitted
more clearly as the days pass. In
fact, we are told that the only
escape is a tremendous immedi
ate contribution of American
and British supplies to Russia.
As has been frequently pointed
out in this space, the greatest
Russian weakness is that she
has not a sufficient industry to
back her armies and that no
nation can long endure modern
war without a great steel, chem
ical and manufacturing indus
try. Fighting quslities of the high
est order Russis has shown, and
Britain and America should do
all they can, as the president
proposes, to supply her defici
ency in arms.
DUT what can they do We
" have not yet reached suffici
ent production in cannon, medi
um and heavy tanks and ammu
nition to be a factor. Some air
planes we can send out, as be
tween our own and British needs
they can't be enough. On top of
that, the distances and lengths
of these lines of supply sre
magnificent and the transporta
tion facilities inadequate,
through the Vladivostok route
it would take at least thirty
days to deliver an ounce snd the
lack of rolling stocks is a serious
bottleneck. Through Murmansk
we must not forget that an
