As yet nobody has told colonel to bring his can tonment down to the city park, for a decision on going to work. The Klamath Falls News Herald has a slogan: "Share the rubber, and take a boy fishing." This is a good idea. Besides the boy will catch soma fish, and show his bringing up, by di viding. It looks like the heat wave has subsided, until the stores start advertising the annual Au gust blanket sales. ALL OF THAT - (Siskiyou (Calif.) News) '. "She said there was quite struggle in the Reynolds cabin after Croy fired two shots at them. She regards their attacker as a plain no good, and it Is probably just as well for him that the .410 shotgun with which she helped chase Croy from the premises was unloaded." A national scrap metal drive tarts next Monday. Citizens are urged to show as much gumption In collecting It as when selling same to Japan, a few years back. Ginger Robin of the movies Is visiting her folks, the J. Coch ran Robins, between sets. She has been assigned the role of an Innocent country bird In "Flshworms for Two," now in production. The metropolitan edit o r 1 a 1 writer, who recently bemoaned the prevalence of milk and wa ter In war slogans, and branded the crop as the worst In history. Is In error. The Republican campaign slogan in 1932 has the honor. It was "Who But Hoover!" Russia is now reported "at the crossroads". This is where most of the auto accidents hap pen, and, in pre-war days, there were always two service stations across the mad from each other. A report from Los Angeles says there are mure desire to be officers than privates in the women's army. This is not an exclusive trait and trick of the fair sex. AMD, DANS THE SUDS1 (San Diego (Calif.) Union) "1 m calling every person who has any knowledge of the case," Coroner Gunn de clared as he continued his investigation of the deaths. "We're going to wash this all out In the open, let the chips fall where they may." ... Comes word from overseas of the execution by an Italian force of 800 Croats and Slovene peasant. This is regarded as an "exaggeration" by "informed circles". There were probably one Croat and one Slovene, and 800 Italians, In accordance with the Home policy of "safety first" and taking no desperate chances. ... The corn is coming along fine, and in about three weeks farm ers can report the theft of roast ing ears. An anti-necktie campaign has been launched In this state, to save cloth for the war. This would give the male Adam' apple mere play, and expose tneir whiskered briskets to the public gaze. It would also take a load off the minds of Older Girls, always in a dither over the correctness, sanitary condi tion, and color of their bread winners neckwear. Cm Mali Tnbou .sat ad. The Axis Short-Wave No one should miss the short-wave broadcasts from Berlin, Tokio, and Rome these days and nights it the family radio can catch them. For they serve a very useful purpose provide comic relief, and give some idea how the other half lives, in these perilous times. Moreover there is a rather surprising feature re garding them. While ridiculous claims of victory are made and childish efforts to prejudice American public opinion against their own war government are attempted,' the net result of the Axis hand-outs, is to increase one's confidence in an ultimate allied vic tory. ..... IT is difficult to explain. But there is an undercur 1 rent of fear and inferiority, running through all the enemy broadcasts, only strengthened by the occa sional bursts of bravado and bombast' One gets the definite impression of no reserve strength, no real confidence, no quiet consciousness of power, or faith in the security of the future. The Japanese broadcasts, from the standpoint of effective propaganda, are the worst, ranging from the childish to the tiresomely erudite, with that funereal and uninspiring southern tune "Old Black Joe", as the theme song and considering what has happened to the Japanese fleet to date, a decidedly appropriate one. The Germans are the best, with the Italians, coming somewhere in between. But all of them fail, as far as impairing war morale in this country is concerned, or weakening the stead ily growing conviction, that while world war No. 2 may be a long one, there is no doubt, whatever, of the ultimate result. It is hard, we repeat, to put the editorial finger upon the exact reason for this. But we are quite sure all Americans who have listened to these shortwave reports from Axis sources for any length of time, will agree, there is a subtle thread of gloom and hopeless ness running through them all, even though factually they may paint a glowing picture of allied disasters and Axis triumphs. lhere is an undeniable note of feverish whistling in the dark to keep one's faltering courage up. "THE German reports are the best because they are not so obviously false, are well adjusted to appeal to traditional American prejudices, particularly the anti-British complex, and often have a sense of the ironical even approaching at times, a sense of humor. But when the Nazis try to drive a point home, they are as much at sea as their less" astute compatriots. ..... I AST night, for example, "Lord Hee-haw with his best corn-belt accent, developed with great care the thesis that since Soviet Russia has been unable to defeat Germany how can the United States expect to make any progress, for the U. S. A. has nothing Russia hasn't Well in the first place, of course, Russia's inability to defeat Germany has not been definitely establish ed. But assuming the Red army hasn't and can't do this, compare the industrial capacity of this country with the Russian Soviet! There is no comparison ! Russia has done wonders in this direction in ten or fifteen years, but is still a couple of generations behind the United States. In fact the United States outclasses the world. What will happen therefore when the vastly superior manpower of the United Nations is equipped with the planes, tanks, guns and ships that this country can, and is producing; The Axis won t be fighting any medieval Kussia, it will be fighting Russia, England and the United States! Women s Vote This Fall A poll of 60,000 members of the League of Women Voters regarding the personal qualities that should be considered in the choice of candidates for the new House Df Representatives .to be choson in Nov ember reveals that three out of four placed political integrity as the first requisite. Other qualities in their order were determination to subordinate party interest to national interest independent judgment, political sagacity and a broad background in civic affairs. As a sampling of the . jlitical conceptions of the feminine mind in the mass the results reflect great credit In undertaking the poll, the League indicated its alertness to the great importance of the 1942 Con gressional elections. THE League's activity in attempting to arouse the political interest of women may be prompted also by belief that the women's vote will count more this year than ordinarily. There is justified reason for this belief. Probably by November 4,000,000 men will be under arms General Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, places the figure at 4,500,000 by the end of the year an 1 that will mean the disenfranchise ment of an unaccountable number. In many stateB the absentee voting laws will be practically useless, particularly where men have been shifted from one camp to another. And there are three states that have no machinery at all for absen tee voting. It in not only men in the military service who will be affected. There has been a great migration of workers from s ates that have comparatively little (.efense work to those that have much. The migra tion is continuing and all those who have not been long enough in their present employment to establish a legal residence will lose their right to vote. Women are involved in the migration, but not to the extent men are. These are the conditions that may make the wo men's vote this year the decisive factor in the elec tions in many btates R. S.

HALF A GAMMA IS BETTER THAN NONE In our little set-to the other day about vitamin units and what they mean, remember, we left the children playing with half a gamma ml n i i of vitamin A. Perhaps the proof reader caught what as my obvious error and changed the gamma to gran'ma if Q I calm about it, JC I ai there is no " I harm done. this time. Dr. Brady A micro gram, gamma or one-millionth of a gram of vitamin A isn't much but It is equivalent to nearly 2 International Units of vitamin A. ' Nutrition authori ties generally agree that every body needs at least 4000 Inter national Units of vitamin A daily Just to maintain normal health, whether the vitamin A Is obtained from food or medicine. After all, who cares about these technical questions? That's what I d assume offhand, too, but we're wrong, as an Increas ing flood of inquires about vit amin units, gammas, micro grams and things Indicates. The formulas and figures readers copy from the labels on their fa vorite vitamin preparations, for me to compare, analyze and rec ommend for them, would give a mortified public accountant a headache but I never let fig ures get me down, I can tell you. I add em up or multiply em, as the case may be, and if the re sult I get doesn t meet all re quirements, fell with it, I must hurry over to a council of doc tors on the bowling green. . One international unit of vita min B, (thiamin) Is equivalent to 3 micrograms, gammas or millionths of a gram or thous andths of a milligram, and nu trition authorities agree that ev erybody needs not less than 333 International Units or U. S. P. XI units or 1000 micrograms or owe milligram daily, from food or medicine, merely to prevent manifestations of deficiency disease. Three or four times that much that is 3000 to 4000 micrograms or 3 to 4 milligrams of B, preferably in Its natural combination with the other fac tors of the B complex, is the op timal daily ration, the amount required to keep you In better than average nutritional condi tion, in prime functional health, and to maintain the reserve power which enables you to tide over ordinary strains and emer gencies. The daily minimum ration of vitamin B, formerly known as vitamin G but now chemically isolated and identified as ribo flavin, Is about 2000 micrograms (or 2 milligrams), and the op timal ration would be at least three times as much. One Sher-man-Borquin unit of riboflavin Is approximately 3 to 9 mico- grams. One International unit of vit amin C (also Isolated and Iden tified, as cevitamic acid or as corbic acid) is the amount con tainer 0.1 gram (about 1V4 drops) of fresh lemon Juice. 0.05 miligram. The minimum daily ration of vitamin C required to ! prevent actual manifestation of sign or symptom of scurvy Is probably 200 units for a baby. soo to 600 units for an adult. Or say two tablespoonfuls of fresh tomato Juice, 2Vt table spoons factory (vacuum process) canned tomato Juice for the baby; one-half glassful for the adult.

C Sub Menace Bomber Output Indiata Have Own Rubbjr Source Electric Lab Sought For Dam , By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C. July 7 Control of the submarine men ace in the gulf of Mexico has a direct bearing on the new north west industry, the aluminum plants. The Nazi underwater raiders are sinking so many freighters carrying bauxite that eventually, unless the Germans are halted, it will result in a reduction of aluminum Ingots In Washington and Oregon and a consequent slow-down of bomb ers at Boeing. President Roose velt says 4000 airplanes are be ing produced a month (that was the May output) and Heir Hitler is anxious to Impede and des troy the airplane program of the United States In particular. Oil tankers and bauxite mer chant ships are the special prey of the submarines in the gulf. Less attention has been given to the loss of cargo carriers than to tankers by the public owing to the shortage of oil and gasoline, but the effect is more important upon the national economy. Bauxite comes from Dutch Guiana, In the northern part of South America. Steamers travel many miles up a river and are loaded from an open mine. Des tination of the bauxite is Mo bile, where it is made into aluminum and then shipped to the ingot plants on Columbia river, where the powdery ma terial is reduced to ingots with power from Bonneville and Grand Coulee. Enroute from Dutch Guiana to Mobile the bauxite ships run the risk of being torpedoed by the Nazi and the latter have exacted a heavy toll. Thousands of tons of the valuable clay essential to the manufacture of bombers have been sent to the bottom of the golf. There is a detachment of troops at Dutch Guiana, but they are no protection against the submarines. It has been proposed that freighters with bauxite, say a half dozen ships, be given a con voy escort by the navy as a safe guard. For some reason the navy has failed to respond, per haps because naval vessels are not available. Meanwhile the Nazi continue selecting as tar gets tha boat with baxita. The Hitler policy is to stop Amer ican production and if enough cargoes of bauxite are sent to the bottom it will curtail pro duction. Herr Hitler's concern over aluminum was disclosed when FBI apprehended eight agents sent to the United States to blow up the leading alum inum plants in the east and at TVA. All of the alumina converted Into ingots in the Pacific northwest whether by private companies or government-financed, has its source in Dutch Guiana, where It Is mined as bauxite. There is a bauxite de posit in Arkansas but none of that is used by the industry In Oregon and Washington. Con tainuance of the industry de pends in large measure upon clearing the gulf of enemy submarines. ... YAKIMA Indians, according to old-timers, have the secret of manufacturing rubber out of sagebrush. The Informant sug gests that the rubber division employ members of the Yakima tribe to produce the stuff. Ac cording to the story as received by congressman, the Yakimas boil the substance and thus cap ture the rubber content. Ten pounds of rubber can be ob tained from 20 pounds of sage brush (a terrifically high con tent) at a cost of 10 cents a gallon. The western wanderer who told the story says the Yakimas years ago made him tires out of the sagebrush rub ber and they were so good that they served him for eight years. There is still an abundance of sage brush for the Indians to, work on. ... IF Leon Henderson's plans go through he will have 2700 law yers on his OPA staff. Last year It was estimated that all government departments had a total of 500 lawyers (very few from the northwest; most from Harvard). Henderson planned four lawyers in the field 'the 48 states) to one In the national capital. This is one of many reasons why OPA appropriation was slashed. War production board, on the other hand, pro poses 18,672 in the national cap ital and 5000 appointees in the field. To keep the press in line and prevent military in formation leaking out, the board of censors has proposed 17.HS0, of these 1650 being in army or navy. There is promised to be a house-cleaning of young officers sitting In as censors and sending them to combat service. ... ALTHOUGH an electrical lab oratory was originally advo cated for the northwest to pass the bill no region was mention ed. Now the $500,000 is asked for by Boulder Dam, which has entered the lists to capture tha undertaking from the power blessed Pacific northwest. Still to be settled as to location is an aluminum plant to make rods and wire, a dlffent type from the rolling mill which were moved from Fairview to Spo kane on supposedly army order on the ground that Fairview would be exposed to Japanese bombing, which is also in the target area, with no army objection.
