HIGH SCHOOL TO NAVY Leavenworth, V.'n., Jan. 23 UP) The attack on Pearl Har bor had a telling effect on the enrollment of Leavenworth high school. Twenty -seven of Its 100 male students hava enlisted in tha navy. "The Forgotten Man What has become of Joe to Japan? Since the attack be the "s orgotten Man." Everyone knows where to this country is. He is playing fan-tan or is it mah jong! and golf at Virginia Is Ambassador Urew being similarly well-treated 7 We hope so, for Joe Grew is a very able, intelligent and impressive individual, who has faithfully served his country as a career diplomat for many years. a a a a fVJR interest in Grew proceeds from the fact, that of all the surprises in this war, and it has been a war of surprises from the outset, Japan has per haps pulled the greatest It seems only yesterday ing from the Far East reported, that Japan hopelessly bogged down in China, by a five year war, was liter ally being "bled white". She was short of man power, short of food and steel and oil, the U. S. embargo on gas and scrap, had "school-boy" pink. Not only travellers said this but the Near East experts in Washington, D. C, also. e a e e e DUT now look at her, if the rays of the setting-sun aren't too blinding! Her forces, air, land and sea, are scattered all over the Near East, like birdshot over a chicken thief. They spread in formidable array from Rangoon to Midway, and from Tokio to Aus tralia", an area of some 3000 square miles! . Practically everyday, the at some new speck on the Pacific's surface, they not only land, but they stay there, and presumably set up housekeeping, with the familiar mop. " It is the most amazing terrifying spectacle, the Anglo-Saxon world has faced, since the infidel Turk stormed the gates of Vienna. , - And it was the last thing UOW COME? Well Joe Grew could give the answer if he were so disposed, and the censorship were off. Por while the western and Anglo-Saxon world has been taken by surprise, one can't believe he has. Mr. Grew is too experienced, too observing and too Bmart for that. He must have told Washington what was brewing in the Far East, and had been brewing even before World War No. 2 started. For it is fairly plain now, that , the war in China was really a blind, behind which wily Nippon, has been preparing day and night to jump out and mop-up on the White intruder in the Pacific. ... LIE won't succeed of course. But he has got off to a 1 stupendous and extremely disturbing head-start. And we repeat, Ambassador Grew must have known about it, or at least strongly suspected it, and so reported to the State Department Why then didn't the State Department, and the general staff, carefully digest that information and promptly act upon it? , . Probably only Ambassador Grew, at present "the Forgotten Man", can answer that! That is why we find ourselves wondering just where he may be. War As a Health-Cure Reports from England, from the standpoint of public health are cheering and surprising. According to the tradition of the "Three Horse men", the physical condition of England after two years of war, should be declining, this should be particularly true of the children. But the exact reverse is true. The health of the English people, especially the children, has formed a rising curve ever since Hitler marched into Poland. e e e e e TUBERCULOSIS has sharply declined. Scarlet fever has also, and diphtheria as well. Measles has practically disappeared. Average weight has gone up. . The reason is not difficult to find, and is extremely interesting. . , The British children, particularly in the congested areas of the large cities, have been evacuated to the rural districts. Not only their living conditions, but their diets have tremendously improved. Under expert supervision, regular portions of rich milk and cod liver oil have been apportioned. Oranges and orange juice have been reserved exclu sively for the English children. a a a a 17HAT has been the result? English children as a whole have lived as they should live, and as they did not live during the days of peace and particularly in the still existing alums. German bombs have pretty well destroyed the slums. There is nothing more certain than when these areas are rebuilt, sanitary and wholesome quarters, not slums will be constructed. In other words in spite of this overwhelming catas trophe of war, not only is it clear "There will always be an England", but as a result of that war, it promises to be a happier and a "healthier" one ! Soviet A id To Japan Before the Diet in Tokio today Foreign Minister Togo declared that "at the very outset of the war in the Pacific, Japan received assurances from Stalin that Russia would observe her neutrality pact to the letter." No doubt of that. Nor Is there any doubt that Japan would never have declared war, had she not had Grew, U. S. ambassador on Honolulu he seems to the Japanese Ambassador Hot Springs. ' that U. a. travellers return scared the cringing little pesky little pests, land a machine gun, instead of . ' and incredible, yes and that the world expected. such an assurance, and been confident it would be observed. ' For as has been, previously pointed out in this column, Nippon's Achilles heel, is the Vladivostock area, as a heavy bomber base. Say what one will about playing Hitler's game, there is no doubt whatever that Soviet Russia, in re fusing to either join in the war against Japan, or allow the allies air bases in Siberia, is playing NIP PON'S! ..

Faulty or Dr. Brady poor posture or the wrong posture taught by physical instructors without physical education in tne past generation throw back . the shoulders and stand with feet at 45 degree angle produces or increases the tendency to pot belly and sway back and pelvic distortion. The belly wall Is incorrectly so called, for the belly is the wall of the abdomen. The ab domen is the great body cavity containing the liver, spleen, stomach, intestines, pancreas. Not only poor posture, but un natural breathing (chest breath ing) and neglect of general daily exercise, predisposes to the hu man frailties mentioned and to many functional and organic diseases of the digestive, circu latory and respiratory systems. The familiar terms ."white livered," "have the stomach for It," and. "guts" (meaning stam ina or courage) Indicate at least vague .comprehension of the (act that physical fitness means strength of character too. It would be more to the point to gauge stamina or vigor or strength of character (not nec essarily moral or ethical ideals) by the state of the belly. A flaccid or flabby belly de notes weakness. In childhood it is usually pot belly, that Is, a protuberant belly, and the child is usually more or less lordotic (sway-backed or exag gerated forward curve of spine at waist line, hollow back) and -ound shouldored. In short the child has poor posture. Some times, of course, all this is due to Illness, but more often it is due (1) nutritional deficiency and (2) neglect of physical edu cation. The nutritional deficien cy Is not a matter of insufficient food, but a matter of ignorance of the parents - or guardians about the proper food for a child. This ignorance is as prev alent among the well-to-do as among the poor.

Others are more skeptical. They ask: If Lewis really want ed peace, why did he not consult Phil Murray before speaking out? Does he not know months of negotiations would be neces sary to iron out such Jurisdic tional conflicts as exist among electrical workers for instance? Who planted the unwarranted story that AFL's Meaney would take over the Joint unified labor movement with Phil Murray as secretary? To effect labor peace, both CIO and AFL would have to come forward with a certified public accountant's list of paid up members. Delegates chosen at the ratio, say, of 1 for each 100 paid up members would have to go into a convention and vote the new organizational set-up. That time does not seem to be near, but more moves by Lewis are coming. aaa THE war has not stoppeO the political appetite here for pork. They merely are stamp ing an American flag on It.

K BELLY of physical education Is a mat ter of politics, graft and mis management of the public school system, resulting In failure - to provide for the child's physical education in the curriculum. Weak belly in youth or adult life' la sometimes the result of faulty nutrition and neglect of education in childhood, but . too often it is mainly due to the Individual's own ignorance of what constitutes good nutrition and his or her neglect of daily exercise. In youth and adult life an additional 'factor comes into play the use of braces. splints, corsets, girdles in an attempt to support organs which should be supported by the belly resell. These splints inevitably increase the weakness of the belly. In children, youths and adults a clear conception of the essen tials of good posture and a con stant effort to maintain good posture Is probably the most effective way to combat or cor rect weak belly. Those essen tials will be described In a later article. - , , QUESTIONS AND aNSWEM Ont of Season - -, My husband, has obtained a let of relief from following Instructions In jour pamphleta 'The Calcium Snort age" and "Rellei for Allergy."

But then the bill was so fat, they were afraid to bring it up in the house. It rested weeks on the clerk s desk unattended, until the house encountered vacant periods cently. The leaders could not longer avoid the issue, and de cided to trim off the worst of their own fat and try to get it through.

Congress decided other wise to avoid hopeless confusion. SEATTLE JAPS PROTtST PROPOSAL FOR CAMPS Seattle, Jan. 23.

McNary Help Ship Builder Compliment Given On Building Job Housing Situation . Acute in Cities Br Johst W. Kelly Washington, D. C, Jan. 23 Washington state can thank Oregon's Charley McNary for 09 Liberty ships being allocated to Vancouver. McNary did not ad vocate Vancouver, but he con sented to the maritime commis sion locating a new yard there when he was advised by Ad miral Land, chairman of the commission, that no new organi zations would be given con tracts; that the Vancouver yard is not a new contract inasmuch as it will be given under the direction and management of Edgar Kaiser and his key men; is located only eight miles from the Oregon Shipbuilding Corp. plant at Portland and is, as Com missioner Harry L. Vickery in formed reporters, to be con structed as an expansion of the Portland plant. For months Senator McNary had been urging the commission to place orders with several ex perienced shipbuilders of the first world war, men of Oregon and Washington who were ready to establish yards on Columbia river. Said Admiral Land, in effect, "we won't encourage new yards. but if you agree, the commission will give all the ships the Ore gon Shipbuilding Corp, can take." The senator asked for time to think it over. Came Edgar Kaiser to McNary, vying: Unless you agree to the com mission's proposition we will re ceive a small order and the rest of the ships will go to Ca'ifornia and the south; but if you agree, we cannot expand the plant in Portland and will have to locate a yard at Vancouver." Said Mc Nary: "Vancouver is in the Portland area and it will create thousands of Jobs. Go to it." According to Vickery, the plant of the Oregon company cannot be expanded as it is hemmed in by a nest of oil tanks, the Bonneville power lines and swampy ground. By opening a yard at Vancouver, under the same management (It is called the Kaiser Co., Inc.) It is in reality an expansion of the Oregon facilities. A similar arrangement has been made in California with the yard at Rich mond, also a Kaiser outfit. - The new orders (88 ships at Portland, 65 at Vancouver) will employ at least 25,000 men, say tha commission, and all boats are to be completed by the end of 1943. This means a housing problem for industrial workers and the government can be ex pected to provide the dwellings. The 115 ships will represent about $247,000,000. split 140,: 800,000 for Portland and $107r 000,000 for Vancouver. Plans call for 105 days from lay Jig of the keel to delivery and, inci dentally, the Oregon yard has the best record in the country. Later, the commission wiVI hold another potlatch and sward contracts to the yards in Taco.-nfj and Seattle for C type ships o. 18 900 tons, but the commission is not ready for this announce ment yet. The EC-2 type (Lib erty boats) are 10,000 tons, aaa LAST week the Truman com mittee issued iU report, excoriat ing OPM, the l-a-year men, the cost of cantonments, the waste and delay, the alleged extravar gance of the navy department, but what has been overlooked in that report is this compliment to the maritime commission: 'The cost of the shipbuilding program is great, but consider ing the necessity for the ships, the conditions under which they had to be built, and the high prices paid simultaneously by the navy department in connec tion with its program, the com mittee is of the opinion that the martitime commission has done ; a good Job." j a a e I JUST to keep the record straight, it can be noted that for i the past year repeated efforts have been made to obtain ship orders for Vancouver, where j ample room for a yard was available, but the commission . persisted In its policy of refusing NOSE PICKING May be Sign of UJ0DC3O thmn fctwM i-tw child.

In Seattle 2200 units are proposed for Industrial workers with a contract given for only 700; the others planned but not under contract These houses will cost the government $8,758,000. At Tacoma 400 are planned, but not yet awarded, and will cost ap proximately $1,600,000, and 400 have been planned for Portland, same cost. a a e WITH lush contracts for war materials being distributed. Sen. Homer T. Bone of Washington declared on the senate floor that the way to curb profiteers is to tax them heavily. He said he did not consider a 70 percent excess profits tax unreasonable, for a profiteer does not mind being called a crook "if he can get away with the money"; there fore. Bone said, be favors a tax that will take away a substantial part of the cash. When a boy is taken Into the army, it takes 100 percent of the boy; the entire capital of that boy, so why should a profiteer complain at drastic excess profits taxes? The senator expressed the hope that the lessons learned in the first world war will not be forgotten in the current conflict. . BRITISH HOME GUARD SERVICE COMPULSORY London, Jan. 23.
