They are using their football muscles more than their algebra. AU over town kids are play ing at war. Parents should see they do not get to writing com muniques and learn to tell big fibs, like Tokyo and Rome. It begins to look June would turn out a June -Jay by the middle of June if June lasts long enough, Scientists are trying to make rubber for tires out of alcohol and gasoline. It is hoped the mixture works better on the front and rear wheels than it does at the steering wheel. THE WEAKER SEX (Coos Bay Times) 1 am continually amazed at tha clothes many women and girls wear on a trip Into the woods. The average fem inine hiker seems to think she Is all set to go if she has on a bright colored, sleeveless sweater, a pair of flappy legged slacks, with her feet show in either sandals or slip pers. I've even seen a few sweet young things start out on a five-mile hike in high heeled shoes!" A returned correspondent from Germany reports but for the war Herr Hitler would have been married. It would have served him right, but is still no excuse for the war. One of the Older Girls reports her best rose bush has been stolen. She does not like such ub-rosa tricks. Tokyo Is having the devil's and its own time explaining to the masses the Midway naval battle defeat was not as bad as It was. They should take a leaf from the sport pages and announce: "Though the home team was defeated 62 to 0, the game was closer than the score Indicates and the girl's drum corps played bravely." COMMITTEE DEFINED (Ladies' Home Journel) "Committee: A meeting of Important people who, singly, can do nothing, but together ran decide that nothing can be done." The Nazis in vengeance for the assassination long delayed of their prize killer, R. liey drlch, murdered all the men and exiled all the women and children to concentration camps in a little Czech village. Then they set fire to the town. Here is the slimiest flower of abor iginal cussedness. As Mark Twain once remarked: 'They sank so far below the depths of depravity they will never be able to drag themselves bark to that level again." It is reason for a ruthless peace. "A growing boy should not be roun.ily spanked," a child ex pert opines. One should say not. The hair-brush should be applied squarclv. "Economists have good rea son to hope that a postwar slump can be avoided by the need for civilian goods. When this all-out war is over, we shall be all out of everything." (New Yorker.)

Yet the naval battle fought there this last week, may well mean everything to this community and the entire Pacific coast, the difference between the constant threat of a Japanese invasion, and the com plete elimination of it VES, the more the details of this sea encounter be- come known, the more certain it is, that while in the sense of a crushing naval defeat for Nippon it was NOT decisive, in the removal of any Japanese conquest threat it WAS. For it is now clear that the real cause of the U. S. naval victory was the overwhelming superiority of land-based planes. JAPAN had several hundred planes, but they were all carrier-based. Concentrating upon these car riers the United States bombers and torpedo-craft, destroyed one on June 3d, another on June 4th, and heavily damaged several more, returning to Mid way between attacks for refuelling, rearming and repairs. Had these U. S. planes been carrier based, obvious ly they could not have done this, at least as readily or completely and for two main reasons : No. I Carrier bases are sinkabla, land bases ara not. No. 2 Extensive repairs, rapid refuelling and rearm ing on any large scale are difficult, if not impossible, on air carriers; on land air fields it's all in the day's work. IN other words, even if this country did not have rt o iro 1 onnannnfv axtYi inVs if Anaa Vt o ita on A a cii periority that, from day to day, will constantly in crease, as long as we have LAND-BASED airplanes and Japan hasn't, there is no more chance of a suc cessful Japanese invasion or naval attack on this coast than there is of such an attack from Mars or the inhabitants of the north pole. It just can't be done. And after this crushing blow at Midway, the Japanese High Command KNOWS it 1X7E are not advising the airplane spotters to aban- don their local posts immediately. It must be pleasant up there this beautiful weather, and while any Jap invasion is out, a token raid by Jap bombers isn't. In fact this humiliating blow at Midway and resulting loss of face might make such a sneak attack even more BUT, the Midway battle ui til i jr icmo wiai iiiojr jiaic cAioicUf ciuu such fears in some quarters have existed, that one of these fine days, we might wake up and see the bestial yellow hordes streaming over the mountain tops to the west. Midway has, once and for all exploded that terrify ing prospect. In modern warfare no successful invasion by sea is possible between combat forces in any degree equal, when one has a LAND-based fighting air fleet, and the other hasn't What Are We Fighting For? Secretary Knox's statement at Cambridge, and the announcement of a 20-year mutual assistance pact between England and Russia, are well timed, at least. baid Secretary Knox: refrain from trying to impose democratic government upon all peoples." Says the British foreign office : "For the next two decades Britain and Soviet Russia will be working hand in hand for their mutual benefit in both war and peace." rF the world powers in Europe, England is the most democratic, Russia the least, or at least one of the least Yet one of the strongest implications of Sumner Welles' Decoration Day speech at Arlington ceme tery, was that World War No. 2 will end imperialism and extend self-government throughout the world. Democracy, it is hardly necessary to add, means self government, the rule of the people, and noth ing else. CO the Knox pronouncement from the standpoint of the Roosevelt administration was well timed, of the Roosevelt administration was well timed. Had no correction of the Welles statement been made and that of Secretary Wallace for that matter, there might have been some embarrassment caused in Washington by this announcement of Soviet Rus sian and British empire "brotherhood alliance." For not only did the Assistant Secretary of State virtually pronounce the doom of the British empire, he also wrote off the Russian adventure in dictator ship. IN fact, we don't believe anyone who heard the 1 Welles speech would deny, that it definitely pledged Welles speech would deny, that it definitely pledged the Roosevelt administration to a revival and re implementation of the battle cry of World War No. One, a "war to make the world safe for democracy." Yet here we have our two chief allies, one whose empire we have doomed and the other where the masses have no voice in the government whatever, joining up not only for the war, but inevitably for the peace which follows! THOSE who read between the lines of such pro nouncements, as well as those who intend to write the history of the present world conflict, certainly have food for thought for some little time! likely. does eliminate justification "The United States should Personal Health Service By WlUlaaa ifiw totters srtaialng l personal health as httwaa, aac t aim at etofnutt- at inaiawat, will he aamrea j Dr. vd II a tans atlf addrnaed aanlupa la nelost.

TREATMENT Or In a talk about "hardening of the eye" (glaucoma) the other day we explained the nature of the condition and told why the question of wearing glass es and the right lenses to wear should be left to the judgment and advice of the eye physician, especially in cases of far slghtness Dr. Krady and astlgma- In adults approaching or past forty, because the unconscious eve strain In focusing tha eyes so affected tends to Increase intraoc. ular tension, pressure within the eyeball, and that favors harden ing of the eye. As a rule progress of the trou ble Is retarded and loss of sight minimized by the instillation of medicine in the eyes several times a day to keep the pupils contracted and the Iris drawn away from the canal where drainage from the eyeball nor mally goes on constantly to keep pressure within the eyeball from becoming too high. In glau coma the drainage or circulation through this canal Is impeded by dilation of the pupil and pushing forward of the lens. The patient may keep fairly comfort able for years by constant use of such drops, under the ocu lists' j direction. If such treatment fails to check the progress of the dis ease, as shown by Increasing dif ficulty in vision, operative treat ment should be had before the sight becomes too greatly Im paired. THere is seldom any chance of restoring that part of the field of vision which has been lost as a result of the glau coma. The best patient can ex pect from operative treatment for glaucoma is arrest of the dis ease so that the patient retains what vision remains at the time the operation is done. Without professing to have any expert knowledge of glau coma, but basing the suggestions on a survey of recent medical literature relating to the subject. I offer victims of glaucoma the following: 1.

It proposes reform through pros perity, a sharing of the wealth by increasing it for all, not by dividing what is left in depres sion. This business man Walter D. Fuller, president of the Curtis Publishing company, says there were an estimated 6,000,000 homes without bath-tubs in this country during our ten depres sion years, 19.000.000 without telephones, 10.000,000 rural homes without central heat. "Lack of buying power?" he asks. "Not at all. Lack of ingenu ity In exchange of goods and effort. e could have produced and financed these needs and more. We failed to do the selling job." People will have money after this war he points out. Savings are accumulating. Our system a failure? Why, says Mr. Fuller, from "a poor nation. 93 percent of whose people were ill-clothed, ill-fed, ill-housed and ill-educated, we have risen in 130 years to the supremacy of the world, over all other sys terns." Was this because nature en dowed us lavishly, or because, wa were larger, older, better than others? Says Mr. Fuller: "China has an older civiliza- tlon. India has a larger popula ' tion. Russia has comparable r.a tural resources. England is a! greater empire. France also was' a republic. Germany has highly trained and skilled workers. Japan has a longer work day. "But in all the world, only the United States could hope to produce enough planes, tanks, guns, ships and everything else quickly enough to win this war." mjIR. Fuller could have gone ' further. He could have point ed out that this unprecedented acr-omplishment Is attributable to the new unification of pur pose as between government,1 Brady M. D.

He could have expanded his cure-theory beyond the sales and marketing phase, which are his special fields, into the whole field of government-citizen rela tions for the future. In which government emphasis should strive to help business to devel op and expand, encouraging citi zens to work, and thus accom plish their own greater security through savings and effort, urg ing profits for all, for business, for labor, for citizen, punish disunity wherever found in all three groups alike, in i demo cratic way, a a fUR trouble the past ten years as the success of our war effort shows, is that we have had our head down, looking only at our unemployment fig ures, grouping for security at the bottom of the hole Instead of at the top, trying to share a de pression wealth which did not exist, instead of creating real wealth for all. The depression stunned us Into this despair. Even when we had 9,000,000 unemployed for a time, we had 40.000,000 or more employed whose interests were of at least equal importance. although you never heard of them, only of the unemployed We looked at the bottom slda of everything. I think a "sales and merchan dising" policy under unified co operation of government, capital and labor is all this country needs. It does not mean a return to the old system, because that can not be done. The taxation, regu latory and labor standards have been permanently established In our reform era. We should merely go on now and use them democratically and wisely, rath er than sink back into the reac tionary and permanent depres sion of socialism, of the com munist, nazl or fascist varieties.

C 3-A Draftee To Go Eventually' Tin Lack Hits Prune Growers Raid Insurance Ready July 1 Br Jaha W. Kelly Washington, D. C, June 11. Before long almost every man of military age in the northwest who can be spared from war in dustries will be in uniform. The local boards will be reclassify ing registrants and feeding them steadily into the armed forces until the army has attained a strength of eight to 10 million, a point to be reached next year. Comparatively few regis trants have been rejected by local boards for Illiteracy. The northwest stands among the lowest sections of the nation for number of people who can neither read nor write. Bulk of the illiterates are from the deep south, mountaineers who know how to shoot but are not up on book larnin'. However, the limited number of these in the northwest will be given a hurry-un education which while not up to army standards, will give them the rudiments of the three R's. Army requirement Is four years of schooling, which would keep out such men as Richard the Lion Hearted, At tila, Ghengis Khan and possibly reject Andrew Jackson. In the first World war the record dis closes that 25 per cent of the draftees were illiterate. Way is now being opened to induct the registrants classified as 3-A. These are men with dependents; wife and one or more children. Senate has al ready approved legislation for financial assistance for wife and children and the house may fol low along, although it may de cide on a different amount of aid. When a man eligible for combat has been placed in 3-A because he is supporting a fam ily aid will be given and the man put in uniform. Plan is for the soldier to contribute $22 a month from his pay (buck privates now receive $21 a month, which will be upped) and the government will add $28. Children under the senate bill would receive $12 a month (house says $10); detail of how much to give dependents will be worked out in conference. With such deductions the pay of the enlisted man will actually be about what it is at present. There .is disagreement on the proposal to pay a percentage of the increased pay to soldiers in war bonds, the objection com ing from top-flight army offi cers. The proposal would not affect the pay of commissioned officers. DOZENS of men hava come to the national capital to obtain orders for ships or other con tracts and have returned home after many weeks with nothing. Last week a man breezed into town, found his way to the navy department and asked for the privilege of building small craft. He saw no member of the con gressional delegations and worked "on his own."

A TOTAL profit of $18 a ton for hairy vetch teed and $16 a ton for Austrian winter peas is offered seed dealers of Oregon and Washington by Triple A. This, states Triple A, is a good profit, and the only manner in which a larger profit can be ob tained is for growers to receive less or southern farmers pay more. Tha seeds are produced on many hundred thousand acres in the northwest and will be a prolific and valuable crop this season. Triple A is acting in the go-between for growers, seed dealers and southern farm ers and has designated the north west as the place to produce. ... AS reported In this space some time ago, WPB is deter mined to make tin go as far as possible and one year'i normal supply for a cannery must be stretched to serve four years. This order is now in effect, as I prune growers have discovered, and they are complaining. Ow ing to tha limited amount of tin available for canneries they are not taking large quantities of prunes and, having explained the reason to growers, the lat ter have been appealing to WPB, which says it realizes the tin shortage will result in much waste of fruit but declines to modify tha order. As a sugges tion the war board suggests that growers dehydrate their prunes. and there is a good market for dried prunes. ... BEFORE the Japanese can stage an air raid on the north west (unless they hurry) War Damage corporation will be writing insurance on dwellings. business houses, orchards, etc. The corporation starts its activi ties July 1. Up to that time, if there is a raid and the Nips cause any damage, RFC will make good the loss with little red tape. Everyone is insured now, but after July 1 policies must be written and a small premium paid. There is a clause in the regulations (rule 9) which will permit banks, trust companies and building and loan associations to have cover age on securities at a rate of $1 per $1,000. Originally, securi ties as well as works of art and coin collections were excluded from war risk insurance. Communications M. T.
