They should be tried by a military court. Then there Is no danger of a sentimental Jury finding them guilty of trespass ing with recommendations the fine be suspended pending future good behavior. All were once in the American "melting pot" but failed to melt. A number of autos around here have been washed and pol ished until they look like new, or they are new. Summer has came. So far no body has been bit by a rattle snake or electric fan. Old Sol is putting sugar in the pears without consulting the rationing board. Soldiers of democracy are battling In the desert heat of Egypt. This year there is no radio broadcast every Wednes day evening from "Little Ameri ca" if a Polar blizzard did not blow the antennae down. Many will "relax from war efforts" over the week-end by climbing a mountain. It is not known what they will do to re lax from the mountain climbing. The first country cow has looked too much like a deer and the opening day of the hunting eason September 27. . ROMANTIC ITEM (Hamilton (Tex.) Herald) "Miss Charlene Chandler of the draft board office is about to recover from the left hand edness she was stricken with recently, after having received a new ring from a West Texas soil conservation engineer." News from Egypt Indicates Alexandria is about to go the way of Hong Kong and Singa pore, before the rush of Axis forces, plus the probable de struction of the Su-z canal by the British forces. It is a fami liar and disheartening story and bitter pills for all the United Nations. It is about time some of tha millions of British sol diers mobilized In England, patiently awaiting a German in vasion threat, that may never come, be shifted to vital zones that crumble pathetically for lack of adequate troops. The allies of Britain are entitled to a better run for their money, equipment and man-power. . The outdoor girl Is now bi cycling on the highways and the byways In the cool of the eve ning in sun-suits. They are viewed with alnrm alike by speed-idiots and boy bicyclists, and even slow up a taxi or milk , wagon driver. Some politics are brewing up state with a candidate for high office making a bid for the "church vote." A much better bloc is the "sinner vote," If they would quit sinning long enough on election day to vote. MEAN NORTH WIND The north wind still blew Sat urday afternoon and It irritated me exceedingly. I went out to help Evelyn who was arranging the furniture in the last one of the apartments. In a short time it was agreed that I could help her most by leaving, so I went down to the News office to Jump the editor about a paragraph that he had deleted from my column the day before. Evi dently the north wind had irri tated him too for I did not have the slightest difficulty In start ing an argument. (Hill Minch In Red BluXX (Calif J NcwaJ. Come On Medford--Do it Now! Business as usual is out But essential business isn't. In fact the successful operation of ESSENTIAL business, in this part of the country and every other, is vital to any successful war effort. HPHE essential business in this community is fruit. As it prospers, so the community prospers. It is the cornerstone of our material welfare and security. If the 1942 fruit crop should fail, the war effort of Southern Oregon would fail This must not be allow ed to happen. But it WILL happen unless preparations are made, and made NOW, to see that the fruit crop which in four or five weeks will be ready for the market, is PICKED and packed. IT can't be picked and packed by the usual local or migratory labor. Because of the extraordinary labor demand due to cantonment construction and other war work, there is no such labor available. Therefore it can only be picked, packed and made ready for market by the people of this community, particularly the YOUNG PEOPLE. Yes, here is the opportunity for a war service just as important, in the final analysis, to this community's effectiveness in the war, as the services of those who have been called to the front. For the failure of this crop, would mean the failure of this district's essen tial business, and its consequent inability to do its part in support OF thatwar S 0-0-0, Tot siunmni orot rnnrothpr nnw whilfl there IS ample time, and prepare for .s due around tne middle 01 nexi monin. Yes. a large share of the work must be done by young people. But under tne wage and iiour aci, cnna woiKers under 18 years of age are required to obtain a parents' or guardian's permit, supported by a proper birth certificate, or doctor's affidavit, before they can be given employment. School records are not enough. The fact of birth and age MUST be legally estab lished. "THIS requires time. And in this crisis time is of the essence. For this fruit, needless to say, must be picked at a oorfain Hne Tt ia nprishahle. and the Drotier fineness for picking, doesn't last. So ready the DAY the fruit is, tne entire eiion win De in vain. One might as well be a year late, as a week. THEREFORE the time for all able-bodied young people from 14 to 18 years of age, who would like not only to earn good money, during this summer vacation, but render a genuine patriotic service to this community and country, To call at the employment office at the Hotel Holland, and sign up for this work is NOW! Applications can be secured there, at the comer of 6th and Fir, and all information also. CRUIT growers and packers have assured intelli- gent and competent supervision of all children thus employed. Not only will this be healthful and profitable work for them, but it will be rendering an INVALUABLE service. So come on boys yes and girls and parents, here ia a timp in no-ain show the world that when Medford and the Rogue River valley, job THEY DO IT! Another Wellington Needed The testimony given in the British parliament to day, supporting the Churchill government, only deep ens the mystery of the Libyan debacle. According to Churchill spokesmen in both Lords and Commons, the British forces were not outnum bered. No less an authority than Lord Beaverbrook maintained that in tanks and guns, the British were as well or BETTER equipped than the Germans and Italians put together. Yet with equal numbers and even superior equip ment, the British desert army was split asunder, 1'obmck fell, and Marshal Rommel, according to the latest reports is within less than 100 miles of Alex andria and still advancing! How come? THERE is only one possible answer as we see it, only one that is if the government spokesmen are tolling the British people the truth, and we have no doubt they are. That is, faulty generalship! Or to express it in a different way, INFERIOR generalship. VES, by a process of elimination that is the only 1 POSSIBLE explanation. For if with no greater man power, no better equipment, no apparent advan tages in terrain or weather or the "breaks", this "desert fox" Rommel, did give the British army a terrific lacing, which he obviously DID. The decisive factor must have been LEADERSHIP, not the way the soldiers fought but the way they were directed. It looks very much as though the crying need in Europe today from the standpoint of England is another Wellington!

NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY AND THE NAILS Frequent application of lurid nail polish Injures the nails just as application of the same sol vent (whether colored or not) would Injure the skin or hair b y dissolving out some of the natural oil and perhaps some of the vital material cystine, a sul fur .compound which enters into the for mation of the nails. But It Is not so much this Dr. Brady abuse of the nails as it is nutritional defi ciency that causes the nails to become brittle, ridged, pitted or cracked. The deficiency may of course be insufficient intake or failure to assimilate or utilize a single element or item such as cystine. Cystine is an amlno-acid pres ent in nearly all natural foods whether of animal or vegetable source. Wheat, barley, oats, beef, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and most common vegetables contain plenty of cystine and other ami-no-acids required by the body for good nutrition. Probably it is a question rather of some fault in the assimilation of cys tine that explains this trouble with the nails. Other amino acids likewise present in most protein (nitrogenous) foods both animal and vegetable, enter into the formation of keratin which composes a large part of the structure of nails, hair, wool, feathers. There is some reason to believe that the same nutri tional deficiency that accounts for this condition of the nails may be a facor of gastric ulcer or of chronic arthritis in some cases. In hypothyroidism or latent myxedema the rate of growth of hair and nails is slowed and the nails become brittle and thick. Best prophylactic I can suggest for this Is the Iodin Ration, a suitable daily or week ly ration of iodine or Iodide in one form or another a drop of mild tincture of iodine a week is ample. In chronic tetany or hypo parathyroidism (functional in sufficiency of parathyroid gland) the hair becomes coarse in tex ture, .lost in patches or almost completely in some cases, the skin roughened and thickened, the nails brittle, ridged and sometimes shed. This is due to fault in the metabolism (assimi lation and utilization and reten tion) of calcium, and as we Interest In the humane treat ment of animals.

It is with this obstacle In mind In the district attorney's office that I ask the public to be tolerant of humane correc tion and I further ask the friends of the dumb animals, that cannot speak for them selves, to keep a careful record of abuses to animals, secure all the evidence; and with your help from day to day we will eventually find some one will ing to prosecute cases of cruelty to animals in court.

Mrs. Sid Richardson Medford. July 1. A Plan To Stop War To the editor: Instead of de stroying the armaments that are left after the war, use them and man them by an international man power to be donated by all nations as per their popu lation, ach nation to pay Its share of support according to abilities to pay. This set-up should consist of a managing board, a world court to have Jurisdiction over all interna tional affairs. The seas and navigable waters, such as bays, rivers, canals, etc., should be International. Countries that have made developments such as canals, etc., should be paid for their developments at a fair appraised price or should get credit for their share of support of the international set-up. There should be a completely new set up. There should be an International fmrnce setup to govern monetary value.

I wish every reader would understand that, whether I can be of any real help or not, at least I regard aa sacredly confidential whatever a correspondent telle me about himself or herself when ask ing for Information, Instruction or advice. I try to do good If I can but I also try to do no harm. I'm just a plodding sort of door-to-door prac titioner, not a long distance diagnos tician or speclalst. If It la tome harraselng problem you cannot or will not submit to your family doe tor or any good doctor In person. I'll be happy to give my best ad vice or Instruction by letter, pro vided you state the question clearly, and It doee not require diagnosis. Of course I con't answer unless you Inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address. This column Is no place to print cryptic messages. No Hear No Pay These hearing aid people send an efficient salesman who understands the device but not deafneea. This salesman exploits patients' hopes and wishes and contrives to tie them to derinlte payment contracts regard less of whether the Instrument helps or not. (Mrs. E. M.) Answer In the pamphlet on Tlnnl tua (Head Noises) and Deafness (for copy send stamped envelope bearing your address! I say "Reputable man ufacturers furnish such Instruments on trial ... any one would be an easy mark to make a payment before one Is convinced (by trial) that the Instrument will be a help to hearing." A reasonable rental charge for the time the Instrument la used on trial would be fair. But no con tract to buy until the deaf person Is certain the eld will really aid. (Copyright 1942, John F.

The international power should con trol all commerce between na tions. There should not be any trade barriers. The international power should have power to appraise and fix prices of all goods exchanged internationally. The Internation al power should guarantee the right of the individuals such as freedom of speech and press, freedom of religion and freedom of equal rights of ballot. Mon archy, dictatorship, or any mi nority rule should be unlawful. It should be compulsory for all nations to have democratic governments. Any nation that would not set up a democratic government, should be compul sory for the International power to set up a government for them. There should be no national armaments except small arms to keep Interna? peace. The international power should have access to all parts of the world to see that there are no arma ments made. It should be the duty of the international power to make laws to eliminate war. The set-up should be made on a fair and square basis of equal ity and freedom for all. Colonies or subject nations should have no voice In the International power but should give their quota of support for it. Each nation regardless of size should have an equal voice. A large nation should have no more voice than a small nation. Frank Drews RFD 4, Box 196. The port of New Bedford.

Built Truck Industry To Fight Order Sales Tax Irks Army, Navy Heads Br John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, July 1. Flying hospitals are now being built for the army air force and the war department will have scores of these to evacuate casu alties from the battlefield, from Alaska of wherever, to the nearest station where the In jured will receive the best of care. The nazis have moved 200,000 wounded troopers in this manner. The flight sur geons (five have been killed and six are missing, either dead or injured, since Pearl Harbor) under the latest and greatest of all time appropriation bills will receive 50 per cent additional flight pay, the same as every other officer. The flying hos pital will be able to carry in jured 1,000 or 2,000 miles to a safe place In a matter of hours. In a big way the war depart ment will be provided with car go planes. By the end of this year the government will have a vast flotilla to transport troops or cargo. In addition to the planes built for the government there are the commercial planes which have been taken over. The entire number runs into the thousands. Germany uses 16 per cent of all its planes for transporting cargo. There is at the moment a plan to build 900 stainless steel cargo planes in an assembly plant near Philadelphia which will employ 1.500 people and cost $12,000, 000. These cargo carriers are to be commercial and then, to gether with the army air freight ers, lorecast a new means of transportation after the war. The truck lines of the entire country will be affected. Cargo planes will ignore state barriers, such as trucks have contended with in. Oregon, for they will fly across state lines and landing fields now available at small hamlets as well as large cities. thanks to the war department, i will be places for loading and discharged freight. e e MENTION was marlo (au, days ago that the war depart ment Has prepared an order for biddini? motor trnrke in rarrv supplies more than 300 miles; if ine ireigni is destined Deyond that it must so hv rail Tha 11 western states are preparing to Dame ine war department and kill the order, if possible. Rep resentatives of the motor truck industry of Washington, Idaho. OrPCnn nnH California h.,.. come to the national capital for tified with a mass of statistics showing what percentage of freicht has hppn mnvino im in 300 miles, from 300 to 500, from auu to 7S0, and so on up to 1,- 500 miles.

This freight would require hun dreds of railroad cars (there are now 8,000 railroad cars at vari ous embarkation ports waiting for ships) and deprive the trucks of business. Trucks now handle 18 per cent of all freight, e e ARMY and navy officers have appeared before the appropria tions committee and suggested that congress take some action on the 22 states which have a sales tax. Missouri figures, for example, that it will make a cleanup of about $19,000,000 this year by tapping war pur chases. California, which has received more war contracts army and navy than any other state, has a sales tax and wishes to impose this on materials be ing used to defend that state against the Japanese. The states do not make the federal govern ment pay they apply the tax to the contractor who buys the materials used in a government contract and this tax is reflected In the cost to the government. The suggestion to the committee is that congress pass legislation exempting government materi als from the sates tax and, if necessary, subsidize the states. In congress some of the senators from sales tax states are declar ing that any action trying to interfere with the tax would be an invasion of states rights. Washington and Idaho have a sales tax; Oregon has none. e e e ADVOCATES of a road to Alaska do not intend letting someone "get away" with the prairie route now being built. Delegate Anthony Dimond has introduced a bill for another road along the route desired by Alaskans and the people of the Pacific northwest, one which Is, essentially, an extension of the Pacific highway. The road now under construc tion by the army engineers will serve a couple of air fields in Canada and any supplies mov ing over it would come from Chicago. Alaska and the north west are demanding a highway which will be available to Ore gon and Washington. An army officer says "we are not inter ested in tourist travel," and in sists the prairies route is the one to build. There are eastern congressmen who say there is something "peculiar" about the prairie route.
