That was old stuff, when the politicians were chasing "the money changers out of the temple," and everybody was, going to get three electric lights In his wood shed. One of the freak happenings of this year, was the dislocation of her hip by a dancer doing the hula-hula no doubt a re fined presentation. The general opinion holds this should hap pen oftener. A shortage of male hats looms, due to the strife. Even those who have worn none for years, may find themselves bareheaded. CANDID JOURNALISM (S.F. Examiner) "Hollywood.-J-Milton Berle, the radio and screen come dian, and Joyce Mathews, Mew York showgirl, were on their wedding trip today. They were married at a quiet ceremony yesterday, attended only by a few loose friends and relatives." All reports Indicate the voice of the Portland air raid sirens Is weak, and not capable of be ing heard In the entire precinct, let alone In the wilderness, bringing forth protests from the press and people. They made less noise than a tnad taxpayer, or a full-throated soprano, be fore a large and appreciative audience. An air raid siren, it Is argued, should be able to scare the population worse than the bombs of the Invaders, to be effective. "A scarcity of horseshoes is expected to curtail the activities of dude ranches In '42. As there may be too, a scarcity of dudes. It should come out fairly even." (Los Angeles Times). Things balance up. There will soon be sufficient irrigation snow piled up in the hills to cauw a shortage of early February farm fretting, about how heavy the June rains will be.

"We were wondering the other day where our newspaper got its rules for punctuation so we a.k our printer to enlighten us. His answer was.

He believes Mr. Winston Churchill's recent warning against optimism was based upon the likeli hood that everything west of Hawaii, except Austra "r, will be lost, the Philippines, Singapore and the iyutch East Indies. In our judgment Mallon is taking in too much territory. 1E grant his sources of information are far better than ours. On the other hand the first of this month the skipper of this department was in Washington, D. C. The subject of Japan and the Far East was frequent ly discussed with army and navy officers, a former member of the army general staff talked for two hours on the subject. w w w w w N one point everyone was agreed. . As long as Britain held Singapore she couldn't be beaten (at least in the Far East) with Singapore lost, however, she could not win. We grant no real research was made, all our information came in the course of more or less casual conversation. Therefore we grant the conclusion regarding the vital importance of Singapore MAY be wrong. e e e e e MEVERTHELESS, this department's belief is Sing- apore will NOT fall, or at least, not without an all-out effort on the part of this country and Britain to prevent it. And by "all out" we mean, a combined air and fleet defense just as soon as the necessary pre parations have been made. In fact we shall not be greatly surprised to see the first blow by allied forces struck at, or near, Singapore, rather than the Philip pines. For again granting the importance of Singapore may have been exaggerated, a look at the map cer tainly leaves no doubt, that Singapore is the corner rtone of Great Britain's Far East empire, and its loss would be a serious blow if not necessarily a decisive one. X7E don't doubt Prime Minister Churchill has given up Guam, Wake, Midway and the Philippines. And such a concession would certainly justify, when addressing the people of THIS country, a cer tain absence of optimism. But we can't believe the Dutch East Indies and Singapore have been handed over, theoretically, as well. Such wholesale generosity to the foe, would, in our judgment, conform neither to the known facts, nor to the demonstrated gallantry and pugnacity of the British character. The Churchill Policy IN rebuttal for the opposition there is this to be said. If Mr. Churchill were convinced the chances of holding Singapore and the Dutch East Indies to be extremely slim, a warning against optimism and pre paration for bad tidings his established policy. In fact that attitude than anything else, places Mr. Churchill head and shoulders above any other national leader today, in this war-torn world. XHAT has been the result? ' Placing absolute confidence in the intelligence and fortitude of his people, they have had, and still have, the utmost confidence in him. Prepared at all times for the rough seas ahead of them, when those seas came, the rank and file have been ready to un complainingly combat them, been the case, the storm ialized, and subsequent events were more cheering than expected, there has of rejoicing and a marked e e e SO, we have today the DlUI.'il (lliVI VU 1 IIKIM 1 1 1 1' 1 UlVi Fed on the truth, without sugar coating, the Bri tish people having demonstrated their ability to take it like men, in fair weather or in foul, are raring to go, as the dark skies grow brighter, are in perfect fighting form, While the Germans, never told the truth, fed on Nazi propaganda and sugar coated lies, have suffered one shattered illusion after the other, until now, while they still hold nearly all of Europe, only the fear of a more cruel and frightful doom, keeps them fighting at all ; the national temper, according to all impartial neutral reports, is one of increasing discouragement and despair. f N short the Churchill policy is not only the demo cratic and the honorable policv, it is the enduring and the SMART policy.

William Brady, XU El Camtoo, Beverly Hills. Calif. VITAMIN A In his book on "Vitamins and Other Dietary Essentials" (Hcinemann, London) Aykroyd says he has "sometimes given Newfoundland fishermen, vic tims of night- b 1 1 n dness, a a i n g le table s p o o n ful of cod - liver oil, with the grati fying result that were able to see on the s u b s e q uent night." Then the English authority adds that there are few other remedies In medicine so rapid and reliable referring, of course, to natural vitamin A for night-blindness (sometimes call ed hemeralopia, sometimes nyc talopia). Perhaps the diet of Newfoundland fishermen is pret ty restricted in the winter months, especially in fresh greens and yellow vegetables and fruits which are the main sources of pro-vitamin A (caro tene) the presursor of natural vitamin A, that Is, the substance in foods which is converted into natural vitamin A by metabo lism. In this country, even if such green and yellow vege tables and fruits or fruit juices containing carotene are not so abundant or available in the wintertime in some sections, fairly good dietary sources of the pro-vitamin, such as canned tomato and tomato Juice, ba nanas, orange or orange Juice, carrots, spinach, butter, cream, fresh whole milk, cheese (any kind), egg yolk, liver, canned condensed milk, evaporated milk, dried milk, are available. The white inner leaves of cab bage or lettuce contain only about one-tenth as much vita min A as the outer green leaves which are often discarded. Because of the greater avail ability of foods containing caro tene people in this country are less likely to have such striking or full-fledged manifestations of vitamin A deficiency, but there is no question that a great many persons suffer from milder man ifestations and In most instances the nature of the trouble is not recognized. For instance awkwardness or difficulty in getting about in dim light or after dusk, and un usual sensitiveness to the glare of opposing traffic when driving (Continued From Fsg One) should be In Portland or Seattle. Within a 700 mile radius of either city is 42 per cent of all Ihe forests the Douglas fir pine, spruce ai.d hemlock. Wash ington and Oregon have 37 per cent of the forests, and with Ida ho 42 per cent. The south has loblolly pine: Pennsylvania and Maine some forests, largely han dled by the states. Major part of the work cf the forest service is In Washlnnton, Idaho, Mon tana. Oregon and northern Call fnrnia. It is In this zone that the forest service looks after fire prevention; it is where most of the money of the service Is spent. Senator McNary de clares the natural headquarters for the forest service is In the northwest and he considers Port land the logical place. e e e FISH and wildlife service, to be sent to Chicago, where the old Congress hotel will be taken over, shnuld go to Seattle In stead. The Alaska country principal field for big game and the salmon runs, the seal fish erles off Pribiloff island, make Seattle ideal as an operating base 'r this service. There are 37S in this service to be shifted (Ebert K. Burlew. assistant see retary of the interior, protested employment of predatory ani mal hunters; suggested that the marines be sent out to shoot the coyotes.) Rpolamation service has all its activities in the 11 western states, handling such projects as Yakima. Orand Coulee. Ander son ranch dam, Owyhee Shasta dam. Boulder etc. Most of the field force Is In the west. Re clamation service cou'd settle down at Spokane. Boise or Den ver, where it has an office for tngineers.

FOR BLACKOUT at night, as well as Inability to detect or see dim or feeble dis tant lights in a darkened field, are common manifestations of moderate vitamin A deficiency, in the majority of cases; some times, of course, such symptoms may be due to one or another eye disease which is not due to vitamin deficiency. In any case it is perfectly harmless, indeed generally beneficial to general health, to try upping the dally intake of vitamin A and see for oneself whether it will not bring improvement or relief. One may make this test by taking a cap sule after food twice daily for a week or two a capsule con taining 25,000 units of natural vitamin A. Natural vitamin A is the finished product of metabo lism of carotene concentrated from fish liver oil. If the pre cursor, carotene, is taken, it has to be converted into natural vi tamin A in the body. Perhaps in some individuals there is a low capacity to convert carotene in to natural vitamin A even when the intake of carotene is high enough. qiEVrlONS AM) ANSWERS 'o, No, Mrs. Wiseacre A formula discovered and patented by an old army surgeon, contained something violently and speedily lethal to colon bacilli, as well aa something with a miraculous heal ing effect. Mrs! D. M. T. Answer Tho old army game I raesn the old army surgeon may have imagined the formula bad such ef fects, -but don't take It seriously. Colon bacilli normally Inhabit the In testine and probably aid digestion. Colon bacilli and other harmless or beneficial bacteria constitute about 50 per cent by weight of the feces.

Sheepmen object to bas ing prices on the 1909 1914 parity, explaining that parity price then was only 20 7 per rent higher than the lowest price for any six years In the past 50 whereas parity price for wheat was 65.5 per cent higher.

(;P The long hoped for but sometimes doubted year-end rally hit the stock market today with a buy ing wave that swept recently weak leaders to the best up swing since late 1940. Early irregularity caused by heavy tax selling soon gave way to strong reinvestment demand which made the ticker tape hum and lifted favorites 1 to 4 points generally and scattered "blue ihlps" as much as 9 or so. While top marks were reduced in many instances at the close, sizable advances were wide spread. Dealings were exceptionally fast at intervals although slow downs cropped up after mid-day. Transfers, however, were around 2.600.000 shares, one of the largest turnovers since May a year ago. American Telephone was far away the stellar performer of the day, climbing by leaps and bounds to around 9 points above its final price of Monday.

Communications IS WITH THE ADMIRALS To the editor: In view of these findings by our news analysts Paul Mallon and John W. Kelly, and editorials by our local authorities while the gen eral public may never know the whole truth, two plus two still equals four. The strings are pulled at Washington, D. C, so, under a spoil system what incen tive has any individual to use his own initiative. Bob Sparks wrote December S from a battleship somewhere in the Pacific of the strenuous maneuvers they were enduring with four-hour rest (if you could) periods, around the clock. A day or two before they had sight of what was believed to be a peri scope from an enemy submarine. Other boys have written of like alertness. So, until those two admirals with years of navy experience are found, guilty of high treason my sympathies are with them. . Most of us appreciate construc tive criticism and are not stub bornly vindictive yet when one has made a serious mistake and realizes it his remorse is torture enough without unjust dismis sal without proof of guilt.

Harms of Tha Pacific The laurel-leaf will encircle for ever the brow of the soldiers, who faced thru the fight. The fierce thrusts of an enemy alien who cared not a straw for the true and the right. But forever and ever their praises will echo thru-out the land where-in Liberty dwells. And forever and ever their names are exalted; with heroes long vanished their number will swell. Long were the hours and hot was the fighting, but none were so gallant as those men tn blue. They fought the good fight, they neld up the banner, the flag of the free and the brave and the true.
