El ITIII Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthur Perry The Oregon coast was shelled, without damage late Sunday, persumably and probably, by a Japanese submarine, on nuisance bent. All should hope its com mander doesn't turn out to be a former University of Oregon student from Portland who be longed to the "Peace Forum," and was good poker player In his campus days. The first day of summer has come and gone. Was it (cen sored) enough for ynu? many asked In observance of the day. Things look so black on the Libyan front even citizens wear ing dark glasses can see no sil ver linings or rosy hues. The quartermaster's depart ment has asked for bids on be tween 600,000 and 1,000,000 de corations to be worn by soldiers occupying Germany after the war. Bids on some 3,000,000 other decorations were also asked. All this is a cheerful chirp, Indicating arrangements re underway for a trip to Tokyo I well as Berlin. Secy. Ickes contributes cheerful note to the prevailing gloom. "The next hundred years will be the easiest," he In formed the American Slav con vention. Along towards the end of this happy century the Harry Bridges case will be settled and no more. PROPHECY In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet . . . and their round tires like the moon. . . . And it shall come to pass that Instead of sweet smell there shall be (tink; and Instead of a girdle, a rent; and Instead of well set hair, baldness; and Instead of a stomacher, a girding of sack cloth; and burning Instead of beauty." (Old Testament). Roger Robin, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Cochran Robin, fell out of the home nest yes "It served him right," said his papa.

The Mayor reported Roy al coming to town to rest for him, left him as tired as If he had done It hinuclf. For Home Consumption? The mystery surrounding these Jap token raids on Pacific Coast tourist spots, is somewhat reduced by the Tokio reaction. Last night one of the official Nipponese "spokes men" without cracking a smile, proclaimed by short wave radio the entire Pacific Coast of North America to be in a panic because of these devastating U-boat depredations, and Bmall wonder tor, such action clearly demonstrated the American fleet had become so weakened by reverses at Midway and Coral Sea, that it could not protect Pacific Coast shores "where some of the greatest concentrations of ship, air and war production in the entire United States were assembled !" So that's itl The U. S. fleet is "hors de combat," while one or two Japanese submarines under cover of darkness, pump a dozen shells into the vacant sand dunes of various summer resorts without even hitting a hot doff stand ! A "wonderful little people?" Mebbo so. But for plain unadulterted STUPIDITY the Japanese propaganda office certainly wins the cut glass hand-painted cookie jar I June 13th An Unlucky Day! It now develops the British were really beaten in North Africa over a week before Tobruk fell. On June 13th, the full British tank corps, answered a radio command to attack a certain sector which proved to be a clever Rommel ambush with the re sult that the British mechanized strength was disas trously depleted. In boxing parlance, it was a terrific hook to the jaw from which J. Bull never recovered. He fought on blindly, and courageously, but the blow was in reality a technical K. O. there was nothing to do, but salvage what could be saved and call it a day. History will probably record that under the circum stances the British did well only to lose Tobruk and less than 20 of the personnel. . "HIS report coming from London, must be essen tially correct and throws a revealing light upon the Churchill visit. It was undoubtedly the reverse had occurred in Libya, resulting in a critical situation through the Middleast, that prompted the momentous hurry-up call for a conference with President Roosevelt. The British Prime Minister,, leaving as soon after the unexpected defeat as proper preparations rendered necessary would have reached this country about the time he did. Which means that topic agenda, in all liklihood is, and has been from the first, what must be done by the United Nations to prevent this serious setback in North Africa from developing into a major disaster. What Our Army Signs Mean With boundaries of important military districts in Oregon and Washington now designated by conspicu ous signs, Army authorities have issued an explana tion of what the signs mean and to whom they apply. In cooperation with the ington highway departments and the United States Forest Service furnished crews for posting some ZUUU signs which will warn enemy aliens that certain areas are either prohibited or restrictel territory. The sictis are marked either "Military Area JNo. l Zone A Prohibited" or "Military Area No. 1 Zone B Restricted", depending upon DOUGHLY speaking, Military Area No. 1 is the western half of Oregon and Washington, the remaining sections of the two states comprising part of Milita.y Area No. 2. All that portion of Oregon and Washington lying generally west of Highway No. 99 is termed Zone A and given numerical designation A-l to differentiate it from where. Zone B is the remainder of Military Area No. 1 between Highway No. 99 and the western edge of Military Area No. 2. In addition, however, there are additional Zone B i.reas lying outside Zone A-l, etither in Military Area No. 1 or in other Military Areas, covering such vital districts as pir fields, power plants, radio towers and bridges. These other Zone A areas are numbered from Zone A-2 to A-1033. A LL Zone A areas are designated as prohibited areas and are marked accordingly with signs bearing the word "Prohibited". Zone B is a restric ted region aivl its eastern boundary, which is also the eastern boundary of Military Area No. 1, is marked accordingly with signs bearing the world "Restrict ed". All Japanese are barred from entering or being in both the restricted area and the prohibited area after the order has been issued evacuating them from these regions. In other words, Japanese coming upon either a "Restricted" or "Prohibited" sign will not enter the area so posted. I TNDER the provisions of Public Proclamation No. 3, all alien Germans and all alien Italians re siding or being within Military Area No. 1 are re quired to be within their place of residence between the hours of 8 :00 p. m. and 6 :00 a. m. and at all other times must be at their place of residence or employ ment, traveling between those places, or within a distance of five miles from their place of residence.

CALCIUM METABOLISM IN ARTHRITIS From careful study of the re cent literature of medicine, bio logical chemistry and metabol ism I find it impossible t o draw any defi nite or con vincing eon elusion c o n -cernlng the role of cal cium (lime) in the Ills called 9k J I tlsm. At pres J I ent there is no ' f I telling wheth er the faulty Dr. Brady calcium meta bolism shortage in the supply of calcium in food, water or medicine ,or failure to assimil ate it or deficient oxidation and utilization of calcium in the blood and tissues no telling whether this faulty calcium metabolism, so commonly found in chronic so-called rheumatoid or hypertrophic or atrophic ar thritis and in bursitis as well, is a causative factor or merely one of the manifestations or effects of the ailment. I'm sorry about this, for I did hope, from the way things were shaping up, that we might soon have In the newer knowledge of calcium metabolism a key to the riddle of rheumatism, a key that might free many sufferers who are more or less handicapped or disabled by arthritis or bursitis. Bursitis, if you happen to won. der, is inflammation of a lubri cating pad, such as tennis elbow, house-maid's knee or most fa miliar and most painful in the early weeks, "frozen shoulder". Calcification In or about the bur sa (shoulder) bursitis. In bursitis, at any rate, it would seem that the calcification is a manifesta tion or effort of the inflamma tion or infection, but frankly we cannot be sure about that. The role of calcium in the Ills called rheumatism is not quite clear, altho it is not nearly so shadowy and unsubstantial as the role of "uric acid" in the hypothetical condition called gout. Deposits of mono-sodium-urate (chalky material) in the tissues, formerly assumed to characterize gout, are observed every day In persons who have not now, never have had and probably never will have any ailment that could possibly be diagnosed as gout or rheumatiz either. Chemical analysis of the blood fails to show any consis tant change In the amount of uric acid present normally from the amount present in gout. In short "gout" or a "tendency" to gout is today a, charlatan's vagary.

Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C Carrier Building Gets Green Light Yards Everywhere To Receive Order Pierce For CPA Without Ickes By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, June 23 Marvin Mclntyre, presidential secretary, examined the rolls of blueprints opened on his desk by the shipbuilder from the northwest. The shipbuilder ex plained that these were draw ings for aircraft carriers and that he was prepared to build 100 of them before the end of 1943 18 months by the calen dar. If there Is anything the United States wants now it is carriers, since the war has taken wings and aerial combat is all important. Secretary Mclntyre took the visitor and the blue prints in to see "the boss." The president devoted 10 min utes to discussion, scarcely look ed at the blueprints and did not call In a navy man to go over the plans. He wanted to know the size of the carriers, their speed, the number of planes they could carry, how long it would take to build them, the estimated cost, then ordered Mc lntyre to send a directive to the navy department to get this pro gram under way. Cost of the carriers (the "boss" cut the num ber the shipbuilder suggested from 100 to 88) is approximate ly $400,000,000. A few days later Chairman Vinson of the house committee on naval affairs said his com mittee had approved a new 'naval building program esti mated at $8,553,000,000 which would concentrate on carriers and make no provision for bat tleships; that all battleship con struction would cease; that cruis ers now in the yards would be transformed into carriers; that hundreds and hundreds of small, swift craft will be built. Work on the carriers is to start Imme diately. Overnight the carriers became the backbone of the fleet. A new era in the navy was dawning, just as when the Monitor and the Merrimac in Hampton Roads ended the era of the wooden frigate. There was some grum bling in the Army and Navy club, opposite Farragut square, by retired admirals who still insist airplanes are Just weap ons and that the battleship will always be the trump card in a naval engagement; that mortali ty among battlewagons is the result of "lucky hits." YARDS everywhere, Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific coast, are to have orders for carriers. They will, for the most part, be a relative ly small type no more of the Lexingtons with a speed be tween 20 and 30 knots and a deck to carry 32 planes, not the great flock of planes assigned to the large carriers, so if a carrier is destroyed and num ber of planes lost will be rela tively small. About 20 carriers can be built for the cost of a single battleship possibly more Cost will be somewhere between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 each. Bremerton navy yard and pri vate shipbuilding plants on Puget sound, now working on destroyers, "C" type cargo car riers, etc., are to have all the orders they can take care of. Columbia river will have 44 carriers; Riverside, Cal., anoth er 44. The Portland Job will aggregate seme $200,000,000. There will be some delayed del iveries of the cargo ships for the maritime commission in order that yards may shove in these carriers, but if there is to be a curb on submarine hostilities the first step is more carrier- based planes in hazardous waters. Eastern builders are re-planning their yards to expedite fab ricating the carriers, but the rec ord will go to the northwest. BARGAIN Consider building 44 carriers in 72 weeks. WALTER M. PIERCE, Oregon congressman for public owner ship of power, testified before the joint committee on the Bone-Smith bill for a Columbia Power Authority that he is for the bill and then he carefully dismembered the measure. In the first place. Pierce does not want Secretary Ickes as the last word on CPA policies and he wants a local advisory board. which was the plan of Senator Bone a year ago when he was feuding with Ickes. In the mat ter of revenue bonds with which to buy out private utilities (all in the northwest states, as Bone has admitted) Pierce wants the bonds to cover the particular private company and not be an obligation on the entire power svstem: make . each system ac quired stand upon its own feet. He warned against a puonc successor to private holding companies; said there should be no bargaining behina ciosea doors and pointed to the so called scandal of the Seattle street railway purchase. WITH so many conflicting re ports on the Alaska situation a demand is growing that the navy, or army, drive the Japs out of the islands. A navy spokesman stated that the small islands the Japs had landed on are barren and of small conse quence, but critics point out that they are of value to the Japa nese for it gives them a toehold on lands of the United States and that they have made an in vasion, regardless of what the navy says, and makes difficult the bombing of Japanese cities or a flight to the Russian pos sessions in Siberia.
