Aiiaaia, --,.... - MtmU fiiiiSsjty4-yfttJTiti Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Plans for a general remodel ling and vacuum cleaning of human nature, come tha peace, If and when, have been broad- cut to the world. It calls for the establishment on earth of a Utopia that will compare favorably with Heaven, with Uncle Sam functioning at one end the same time as Santa Claua and Good Samaritan, dis tributing manna to the masses everywhere, and a great and sweet content will prevail in very heart. One Item provides a pint of milk daily for every human, even though he be a son of the jungle and prefers the Juice of a cocoanut to that of a Jersey cow. The progenitors of the Idealism strive "for a brave, new world." It better be, and a tough one, as far as Germany and her puppet stooges are con cerned. She has launched two world wars In slightly more than a score of years, and should get what she asked for total and complete destruction as a nation. Her lust for armed strife can best be cured with pick-handles. It will do no good to pray for her redemption, or send her military leaders to the reform school. COME SEE VS, MR1 (Bangor (Wis.) Independent) "Mr. and Mrs., our neigh bors of the long ago, did not agree as to where one of our Bangor boys had gone, Ore gon or Washington. A neigh bor said, "It's Oregon," Mr. said, "Divll the difference. Isn't California in Oregon?" An upstate merchant has been wanked into court for alleged attempts to defraud the govern ment by selling tires out of season. Nothing has been heard for a long time about the East erner who Incorporated his fam ily and cleaned up around $600, 000 In a war commission racket, in jig time. e e e "Let's see," mused the allies' high strategist. "Russia Is fight ing for Its life, while two mil lion armed men stand idly by in Britain. What would Hitler do in the circumstances?'" (Oregonlan) Embarrassing ob servation, M. Ghandl, the spiritual lead er of India, in his fight for free dom of India, is willing to com promise. Some favor grunting more freedom for India, and none for Ghandl. The Sunday autolsts acted rmart-alecky on the corners, and no rubber was saved for the war effort. In many instances, the soldier strolling with the driver's girl friend, never let loose her hand, when $4. worth of tires was burned up in a accident defying turn at SO per. At the slngfest of the Feath ered Creature USO Frl. on the cthsa lawn, little Roy Robin imitated an airplane. Major Woodrow Wilson Bluejay said ha never saw better (lying, even by an airplane, and decorated him with a tail-feather yanked from his own person. , The Oregonlan editorially rails tha Italians "utter scamps" War is war, but there is no use being vituperative and vitriolic. WOMANLY FURY "If a cinema lovely hasn't much on the ball, she is encour aged to remove as many gar ments as compatible with the local purity laws and give off with some version of the moose rail. If you like it. this Is Art. As for us, v.e will Just stay home and boil an egg when Veronica comes to town." (Flo MeOehee in tha Woodland (Cal.) Democrat.) , Hear Dr. Fisher "The American people know that a militarized monster, such as our enemy has bred, takes a long time to kill." These were the words of Justice William 0. Douglas in an address before Oregon publishers at Gearhart recently. It is increasingly apparent that the attack at Pearl Harbor was long planned. The Japanese, our closest enemy, in breeding a "militarized monster", have been systematically taught to despise us. They speak of Americans, a mixture of many races, as fools and weaklings. They long have looked with envy upon our wealth and achievements. They say we are soft that our way of life is a thing of the past . YES, the Japs believe all this to the point of fanati cism. They have planned this blow at America for generations. They are not fooling. We may be sure that they wouldn't have started this war unless they were convinced that they could finish it THEIR way. DENEATH a screen of sugar coated words of peace, D the Japanese went methodically and unceasingly on their way in preparation for war. "We were patient you thought us meek We were silent you thought us weak. But now in the much abused name of God We speak." Indeed, we are sneakine the only language our ambitious and scheming is the laneuaee of war the the splitting crash of bombs, the deafening roar of big guns. Thus we spoke in the Coral Seas and at Midway. And we shall speak more eloquently as the days go by. SO that the people of Jackson County may better nnrlprsranrl the lone and Dainstakine: crerjarations of the Japanese for this conflict, the Medford Rotary club will bring Dr. I. J. Fisher, Canadian educator, to Medford next Tuesday. Dr. Fisher will speak at the high school auditorium at 8 o'clock. His lec ture will be free. For 23 vears Dr. Fisher the past 17 years, up to the end of June, 1941, he was the onlv foreigner on the teaching staff of the Japanese Naval College in Tokyo. Certainly, he should be well qualified to give to people here an accurate and vivid, background of Japan's militaristic ambitions. THOSE who have heard Dr. Fisher speak before Viaira ha an rlaonlv imnvpasprl hv his forthricht remarks, devoid of propaganda and free of oratorical frills. He tells of facts from first hand observations. H.G. Weapons From Waste Jackson county is joining the rest of the nation in ' a great drive to make weapons from waste. The i importance of this salvage strongly emphasized at this The' War Production Board has announced that the steel industry operates on a metal used in making every ship, every tanK, every submarine and every gun is remelted scrap metal. The other half is from pig iron. Here is a phase of the war effort which, without exception, involves every man, woman and child. We may think that "our little bit" will not help much. Multiplied by thousands and even millions it will create a mountain of raw material which can actually turn the tide. WE have lived through an era of "easy come, easy o-rt" Tf enmnthinir wwft' Tint Qnvprl it fniilH hjA replaced. There has always been more where that came from. That is no longer the case. We've already had a taste of rationing with restrictions on such things as sugar, tires, automobiles and household appliances. The list is certain to grow. It will grow more slowly, however, if America learns how to save and how to overcome habits of waste. And so, along with this salvage campaign, we should develop the habit of saving. Enlightened and patriotic citizens should willingly and cheerfully wear their clothes a little longer, travel less, waste less food, make old things do a little longer. This new habit of thrift should be carried further. Every penny saved through this practical conservation should be invested at once in war savings stamps, every dollar should go into war savings bonds. Thrift thus be comes a two-edged sword for victory. VES, turn in scrap, stop waste, start saving! That is the theme of the salvage campaign, here in Jack son County and throughout the nation. "One extra plane, or extra tank, or extra gun, or extra ship completed tomorrow may. in a few months, turn the tide on some distant battlefield; it may make the differ ence between life and death for some of our fighting men." Let us take these words of President Roosevelt to heart as we renew our effort in Jackson County's present Salvage for Victory campaign. Let us remem ber the War Production Board's reminder that There is enough iron and steel on American farms alone which, if used with other materials, would make twice as many battleships as there are in the world today. It would make enough 2000-pound bombs to drop three per minute from big bombers incessantly for more than three years. So, let us put our waste to work without delay! Uncle Sam expects everyone to do his share in this task and everyone can if he will. 1I.G. foe seems to understand. It screech of dive bombers, has lived in Japan.

One so enlightened has greater reliance on nature and that is half the battle. In the pamphlet on Constipa tion which I send on request If you provide stamped envelope bearing your address I say: "If you are too weak or flabby of disposition to snap out of your habituation, then I suggest that one of the least injurious laxatives for fre quent use is phenolphthaleim, in tablet or lozenge containing one grain. This should be chewed or crushed to powder before swallowing." Mind I say it is one of the lease injurious I do not say it Is harmless. Sometimes It causes a pink or purplish skin rash with bullae or vescicles. Children taking phenolphthalein In a candy laxative have occa sionally had nephritis (kidney inflammation). Mineral oil (liquid petrol atum) retards digestion by coat ing the particles of food and interfere with absorption of food and of vitamins. It causes ex cess loss of minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus. These effects explain loss of vitality and weight, especially in child ren, when this so-called "lubri cant" is taken frequently. These objections are serious in the debilitated, nursing mothers, children. Aloes or aloin.

AT. T the war department later. offered that investigations of the validity of claimants must be made. How thin these excuses are is evident from close inspection of the act itself. No investigation is required for tha wives an.l children of soldiers, sailors and marines. The law flatly says these class A claimants must be paid if they produce a marriage license or other proof.

No one hag even tried yet to offer an excuse for this. If congress does not repeal this clumsy effort to influence voters and the facts begin to get around, congress had better not pass the pending legislation al lowing soldiers to vote, and might do well to exclude their wives from voting also. e e I HAVE always thought the re cent generalized attacks on congress were dangerous and unjustified during a period of centralized executive controls Congress is supposed to be the direct representative of the peo ple, closer to their wishes than the executive branch, which is largely appointive. The house is elected each two years, the president only every four. Also there are good, bad and indifferent congressmen, and it is unwise not to distinguish be tween their various consciences, abilities and acts. But this latest example of mass legislative stupidity is Just a little too much for me. In this case perhaps half the congressmen, or more, may not have known the single delaying sentence was In the act. No one, however, can escape the respon sibil ity or the reaction.

Retail Stores Facing Fold-Up Farmer Alio Having Trouble War Department Cool to Kaiser By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, July 27 First the automobile dealers were put out of business by the war; now comes the hardware dealer and the electrical ap pliances shop. Letters from con stituents inform the congress ional delegates of the north west that the hardware business is in a bad way and becomes worse with each succeeded day; that scores of these stores have had to fold up and the rest are on the way out. Wholesale hardware dealers are making money, for they have priorities and sell only to those with war contracts. The retailer has no priority; cannot buy a nail from the wholesaler, and knows when his present stock Is exhausted he can sit down and twiddle his thumbs One man writes that he required nails for an addition he was building to a barn. He found IS pounds in a crossroads store, 10 pounds in another 30 miles away and 10 additional rjounds across the Cascade mountains. Garden hose, lawn mowers, rakes, shov els, spades, locks, barbed wire, hinges the usual wide line of goods carried by hardware deal ers everywhere are disappearing from the shelves with no replace ments Dossible. The rent goes on. and the pay of clerks, but profits are dwindling. Al ready several of the large retail hardware dealers in Washington and Oregon have closed their doors: the survivors are like prisoners in the death hous it is only a question of time In step with the hardware dealers are the electric stores which deal in artificial Ice boxes for the home; roasters, radios, electric irons, toasters and elec tric mangles. No more goods for these dealers. Three or four of such concerns have called In all their salesmen, told them the jig is up and not to report for work the next day. The salesmen sold themselves to the shipyards or airplane factories, first hav ing to join a union. All these are matters found In the mail of senators and repre sentatives, with request that the legislators do something, but nothing can be done. Hardware, explain WPB officials, requires steel, iron, copper, and all such metals are needed to win the war: the civilian must step aside for the army. e e e COMPLAINTS are coming from another class of people; the farmers. Machinery on a farm breaks down and must be repaired. This was recognized In the early days of the war and farm machinery companies were authorized to produce a certain percentage of parts. The number of parts is inadequate and scores of fanners are handicapped. The farmer cannot buy new equip ment. There are certain tract ors requiring a large rubber tire and without It the tractor Is useless. Numbers of these trac tors are being discarded; the farmer cannot obtain the tires. (Note The United States Is sending thousand of these tires to South America and Canada). NOT many realize It, but there are approximately 7500 volunteer worker In Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Mon tana organized in their respec tive states under the state sal vage committee as part of the bureau of industrial conserva tion of war production board. conauci me continuous anv ,fo,r crP " other mater- o conduct the continuous drive ial now urgently needed in the war effort. The set-up consists of s chairman In each county with and Home Front Courtesy Columbia 'Ohio) Dispatch. five unit or local chairmen and approximately 10 members to each unit. Each of these states has between 1500 and 2000 in the complete organization. These thousands of patriotic volunteers will visit every farm house and arrange for removal of scrap, e HENRY J. Kaiser's suggestion that his shipyards turn attention to assembly line production of the Martin Mars airplane, weighing 70 tons, as one method of circumventing the submarine, found the war department cold. The brass hats of war depart ment have been working on that Idea for months, or if not mass production of the Martin Mars, at least something almost as large or transporting troops. The officers studying air trans portation have in mind a plane towing a string of transport gliders, an idea the Nazis used at Crete, where their air-borne troops worked havoc. If mari time commission wishes to ex periment with the Kaiser pro posal, that is okeh with the war department but the department prefers its own plans. When Joe Kennedy was chair man of the maritime commis sion (he is now in the adminis tration doghouse) he wrote a report outlining a policy of the "C" type ships and said it was time to have the commission consider building large cargo and passenger airships. This part of the report was never adopted ,as he left the commis sion to became ambassador to the court of St. James. If the Kaiser proposal is accepted by the maritime commission it will give Portland an aircraft factory comparing to that of Boeing on Puget sound. The Department of Commerce estimates that in the next two years consumers will have re tired from six to eight billion dollars of their installment debt obligations.
