Its safety and sanity Is apt to be lonesome with the rest of the world everything else but. Idealists, of which former Pre sident Hoover is one, proclaim "the world can have peace, or revenge, but not both. Emm ent opponents of this line of thought opine the world will get both, because this time the hard- boiled, not the meek will "la . herit the earth." The meek wrote the Treaty of Versailles. Germany, and the little Axis lands, need the "iron hand" and policing by the United Nations. Another nutty paperhanger might come along and "mis lead" them into World war III. some day. A. W. (Dad) Lynch Is cele brating his 97th wedding annl versary today. For fear of in creasing the heat, he wants Icicles instead of candles on the anniversary cake. MENTAL GYMNASTICS (Longview (Wash.)

But wa see their seniors have done likewise and we dare say that not a fraction of either group knew what is sues this measure Involves. We have attempted to ana lyze it but It's too much for us. We have talked to lawy ers who tried to and they can't make much out of it." A subscriber writes he would like to see a man worth $700. 000 a year. Most folks would rather see the $700,000. The British In Egypt have de monstrated again they fight best with their backs to the wall, as long claimed. They also think best when their heads are In the same position. When things looked blackest a surprise man euver before Alexandria placed Gen. Rommel in a military Jack pot largely nf his own making.

What a Leon Henderson, and other key officials in Wash ington, are weeping and wailing because their various and sundry appropriations have been cut-down. The CCC has been cut off entirely. The Department of Agriculture wants the modest sum of $680,000,000 and but nothine has been ous and sundry other federal departments, the grand and glorious spending spree, appears to be slowing down somewhat, and easy money seems to be dwind ling a trifle. As a result one hears a terrific tearing of shirts and gnashing of molars in the check-writing departments, as the congress adjourns for the week end holiday. WELL, as in all such reactions, the economy drive may be overdone and some regrettable disloca tions result. Rut all in all. this determination in Wash ington to cut expenditures, conduct or the war TU THE bume, ana divert, we savings to what must be done at the front, strikes this column as both refreshing Par-tain lv thin much is indiscriminate spending that has been going on ever sine rwomher 7th last, not onlv for war. but for relief, social advancement, . a the dingusdangus ana wnai nave you must, stop or, Even the richest country SO we heartily welcome this sudden change of front in the halls and committee rooms of the congress, a determination to at least secure a temporary riroarhino" nnH. arlrl lin a few totals. See how mivih money Uncle Sam really has stored away in the old sock, and take a few practical financial bearings before the order to go full-steam-ahead is again an nounced. What About Sebastopol? We are asked to settle a wager: Mr. A says Sevas topol HAS fallen: Mr. B, says it HASN'T. Who is right? Sorry, boys, but it can t tance. We have our own idea, money on. However if you insist, here goes: It's a draw. Both A and B are right, from one angle, both wrong from another. A. is-right when he says Sevastopol has fallen be cause the main citadel did fall into German hands Wednesday last. B is right when he says it hasn't, because there was no formal surrender on the part of the Red comman der, he withdrew, retreating slowly through the environs, to maintain a holding action, while he made it possible for the main force to escape. SO to decide this wager one would have to FIRST have an exact technical definition of what "to fall" in modern warfare means. If it means "surrender" by the defenders, a wins. If it means the loss of control of the chief strategic point and a DECISION in favor of the attackers, "A" wins. Without any such clear-cut definition of terms, however, this department will be compelled, with the information available, to raise both hands and de clare all bets off. Beware of the 4th! Tnmnifnw 10 .Ti.lv JtVi t A Ithmifrh Rnme forest areas tUliiuiiv'T j r j v . . . will be closed because of extra hazardous conditions, citizens here will welcome the announcement that the woods of southern Oregon will be open to holiday campers this week-end. The staff of the Rogue River National Forest has made a real effort to bring this about. Just how long the forests here will remain open will depend upon one thing public cooperation. B UT, when Mom, Pop and the kiddies begin their Fourth of Julv iaunt into the bit: timber tomorrow they should keep firmly in General DeWitt, commander 01 the western aeiense area, of Oregon's Governor Sprague and of forestry officials here. Sensible precautions MUST be taken no smoking while traveling on forest roads, no camp fires without permits except on improved and posted camp grounds, no fire-building without the always important axe, shovel and water bucket at hand. HE danger of forest fires is always imminent in seasons such as this, when temperature is high and humidity low. If the utmost care is practiced by all who enter the woods, we may get through this season without serious trouble. Destruction of forests by criminal, but in war-time born of a thoughtless act can be just as damaging to our war effort, just as costly in vitally-needed lumber, just as helpful to the Axis cause, as the fire set by the saboteur. AND so, it is the duty of every man, woman and child who enters the forests tomorrow to see that no careless act will make them unintentional sabo teursfor whether deliberately or accidentally sot, fires in northwest forests now are sabotage. The forests are open, the this area are ready. Let us use them, enjoy them to the utmost, but NOT destroy them through careless ness. Military and forest officials are confident that we will accent the responsibility and trust which they have reposed in us. Let us be on guard Let us for victory today, for generations o: the future.

Beverly Hill, Calif. WHO CARES ABOUT O Life is short, at least I find it so so, this grand bowling weath er and tha greens In the finest condition ever, so, childr n please spare me all the m a thematlcal p r o b 1 ems that wiU be as good as a va cation for me, A I will enable me Sl I I to put in Just f I that much WmiHa It more time on Or. Brady real health questions readers submit by mail. Sometimes believe it or not, correspondents accuse me of swiping the stamps from their self-addressed envelopes and throwing their letters In the chucker, and sometimes they are right. But most of the time the letter is waiting here on my desk, until I can ponder the problem carefully and send the answer I d want if I were in the correspondent s place. I may seem hard-boiled sometimes, but underneath the cloak I'm not a bad scout when I go to bed nights I like to say my prayers and think I've done my good deed for the day. In order to appease the insist ent demand for useless informa tion and ease my conscience a bit, I'll give here all of It I can garner in reference to vitamin potencies or units for measuring vitamin strength. A gram is the metric unit of weight the weight of a cubic centimeter of water at a temper ature of 4 degrees C, (about 39 degrees F., a few degrees above freezing). A milligram img.j is one-thousandth of a gram. A microKram is one-thousandth of a milligram. Sometimes, to make it harder, micrograms are cauea 'gamma". Now a gram is ap proximately equal to 15V4 grains. A milligram is approximately equal to l65th of a grain. A michogram is approximately l'6800th of a grain, one-mu-lionth of a gram. Please don't olame me for this. You asked for it. I wouldn't know I'm Just copying the answers out of the book. One international unit is the same as one U.S. P. unit or was at four o'clock last week. It is not at all clear why the U.S.P. horned into the argument at all. One International unit of al (thiamin) is annr o x 1 m a t 1 y equivalent to 4 Sherman units, but don't bank on this, for the boys in the laboratory are still arguing about it.

AMMAS AND THINGST One international unit of vita min A is now considered to be 0.8 microgram, or slightly more than one-half of one-millionth of a gram, or the better half of a gamma. And It Is astonishing how many laymen want to know about gammas and things. They complain almost daily because Webster ducked gammas in his last edition. Huh that isn't the half of it. QUESTIONS ANSWERS Etm Water In Wind X am 76 years old. Eyes water all the time, especially In the wind. Had thla trouble about three yeara. Have tried vitamin A. two eye doctors, no benefit. Eyes examined by both eye doctors and both said my present glasses ara all right. (P. 1. J.) Answer Disguising myself as a second-sight artist tor the once I suggest that you substitute plain wheat and wheat germ for half of tha white flour or whlta flour pro ducts In your diet, drink at least a quart, better three pints of milk dally, and supplement your dally diet with an optimal ration of vita min B complex, fiend stamped en velope bearing your addresa, for pamphlet "Wheat to Eat." Canker Sorea I have two. three or four canker sorea practically all the time. Have been a aufferer for 38 years. With the sores at their worst X do not eat. Have been hoepltallsed for four months at a time from Just canker sores. Best treatment I have found Is touching the sore with 10 per cent liver nitrate solution. If caught at the early atage thla seems to stop them. The solution must be fresh. If any geta on bathroom ftstures It tesves a stain that cannot be re moved. (J. D. T.) Answer Thsnk you. Ordinarily touching canker sore with MILD tincture of Iodine (the 3'i per cent strength tincture expressly Intended for popular use as flrat aid disinfec tant etc.) once dally for a day or two. and using agreeably warm solu tion of heaping teaspoonful boric actd In pint of boiled water as mouthwash many tlmea a day. will relieve canker sores quickly. Of course avoid toothbrush and dentrl- rtoes, harsh food. In some cases of recurring canker sorea excellent re sults ara obtained from dally doses of 100 to 300 milligrams of niacin amid (formerly known as nicotlnlo acid.) Sterility Can s physician determine whether a man la aterlle or not? (I. G.)

It is believed around 70.000 small manufacturers may fold their cards within the next year, whioh would be roughly one third of the manufacturing units of the country. v The farmer la doing well. His income will be up $2,000,000, 000 this year, an increase of about 20 per cent. He is buy ing more and more from mail order houses and in small near by towns, due to the gas and rubber pinch. In fact some ex perts here believe the small town may be restored to Its pre automobile dignity in American life before this war is over. The only organizations which will get rich and stay there, however, are the union labor groups. Size of their large In come increase Is secret to them, but they are not subject to taxes and hence will not pay their war profits back into the govern ment.

TTHE department stores, how- ever, have ample stocks, in certain Instances goods are be ing sold at less than the whole sale cost of reproduction (New York area report). The great bulk of vacant stores on Main street so far, however, are those formerly oc cupied by auto dealers. Food and drug stores are do ing well In most communities, but In some rural areas, a large number of people have left for the army or defense Jobs, and these sections are suffering. Wall Street is shot. The amusements businesses offer contrasts as wide as industry. Those in boom areas, which do not depend on motor trade, are profiting, the others are losing out. Seaside beach resorts are living from hand to mouth, and so ara the summer vacation places. Summer theaters are dead. ryDCTORS are scarce, due to "army calls upon the profes sion. Those who are remaining in civilian service are able to collect their bills. Lawyers, on the other hand, are suffering. Tha government has discov ered more lawyers have come to Washington in search of Jobs than any other class. A few big ones, handling large contracts, have profited enormously, how ever. The soft drink industry Is staggering as far as the public market Is concerned, but some of the largest concerns are sec retly using their machinery In war business under government contracts. There were about 1,000,000 salesmen on the road in the country, perhaps are not half that many now.

In one group, there are 5.000, 000 persons employed in state, city and local governments in this country (mostly teachers, police, firemen) who axe facing a 13 per cent increase In the cost of living without increases in income. COME businesses are allowing war restrictions t ocut over head. Restaurants give you much less sugar but do not charge you any less. Delivery services around Washington have virtually been abandoned. Milk dairies now deliver only every other day. Gas dealers cut their overhead with the 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. clos-J ing and elimination of Sunday service hereabouts, but the cost of gas has gone up more than 3 cents since the first of the year. The oil Industry was a boom ing war baby at the start, but has been in depression since the shortage of tankers. Some au thorities expect the little Inde pendents will be crowded out. Airlines lost their booming profits when the government seized half their planes, clean ing shops cannot get fluid for cleaning in the east.
