Tour corr. has the flu, and, herewith gives up for this time. London, Dec. 8 (U.R) Three doughboys who horned In with a Jeep and rifles on a staid Eng lish hunt, winding both hounds and horses and perhaps affront ing the stag as much as they did the red-coated hunters, learned today that after all pro tocol must be observed. Cries of "yoicks, yoicks" split the air as a strange panorama moved swiftly serosa a rifle range somewhere in the English countryside. First came the stag, In full flight, with head high and eyes wild. Close on his heels hurtled a Jeep driven by an American sergeant, with two soldiers hilar iously standing in the rear seat, trying to bring the animal into the sights of their swaying rifles. Then came the hounds, trying desperately to keep up to the pace set by the Jeep. Far in the rear, cam the hunters in for mal red coats, on horseback, long since out of the money and somewhat out of sorts and dig nity. Aghast also were the dough boys on the rifle range across which the procession raced; and so was their officer, who took the edge from the sport of the Jeepsmen with disciplinary meas ures designed to teach them that In England hunting is by lnvlta tlon only and not done, ever, In motor cars. P. S. The stag got away. CHILDREN MUST KEEP FULL SCHOOL HOURS Washington, Dec. 8 lU.P Releasing children from school to till holiday rush Jobs is a vio lation of federal law. Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of the children's bureau of the labor department, said today.

To late to ciaaeui 1240 YOICKS! YOICKS! DOUGHBOYS JOIN IN BUSH HUNT Buy Christmas Seals TIHILE America is fighting the Axis aggressors on j world fronts, let us not forget the enemy right i here on the home front tuberculosis. This dread dis ease saps our national strength with the stealth and deadly effectiveness of the most dangerous fifth col umnist; strike hardest at persons in the most produc tive years of life between the ages of 15 and 45. Not in this wartime emergency, or for that matter at any time, can we let the germs of tuberculosis undermine America's manpower. Conditions now are especially conducive to its spread. Crowded hous ing conditions are acute in industrial areas, people are working longer hours and expending surplus ener gies, human resistance is reduced by worry, work and excitement. e A LREADY, In 1942, we have lost more lives to the " enemy tuberculosis than we have lost to our Axis foes. Many thousands of people are incapacitated for vital war work confined to hospitals instead of working in factories or on farms. But this manpower saboteur CAN be cured it is fact that public health CAN BE BOUGHT! Since 1907 the little Christmas seals have led a heroic cru sade against "consumption." Through the years, deaths have declined as public enlightenment has spread and seal purchases increased. The money has been wisely spent in public health education. People in the cities and in remote communities have learned that tuberculosis is catching, is preventable, can be cured if discovered in the early stages. Exhaustive medical research has been carried on in universities and in other scientific laboratories throughout the nation. Every Christmas seal that is bought will help to "seal the door" against Jthe spread of infection. OERE at home, the Jackson County Public Health association has received special recognition for its rehabilitation work for those who have won their individual struggle with the disease. Cured patients are given kindly assistance in their effort to return to normal living and are shown new avenues for so cial usefulness and personal security. . AS WE look at the tragedy of war-ridden countries " of the world we will be more grateful this holiday season that America has not been ravaged by war not shattered by bombs and crushed by starvation and pestilence. The sobering realization of the sor row and suffering in other lands, the gratitude that, even in wartime, we have food and warmth and shelter, should prompt us to buy generously these Christmas tuberculosis seals. We can lend little help to those in other lands this year, as America has for so many other years, but we CAN give holiday cheer and HEALTH to our own fellow Americans and neighbors here at home. H.G. McNutt's Powers Defined In Question and Answer Series Washington, Dee. 8 (U.R) Here swers in connection with Paul V. McNutt's new powers as chair man of the War Manpower Commission: Q. What la the WMC's overall function? A. In the language of President Roosevelt's executive order of Saturday, "to promote the most effective mobilization and utilization of the national manpower and to eliminate so far as possible waste of manpow er dua to disruptive recruitment and undua migration of work ers. Q. Over what does WMC now have supreme authority? A. Over all matters pertaining to procurement of manpower, mili tary and civilian. Q. Through what agencies will WMC exercise Its new powers? A. Chiefly through the selective service system and the U. S. em ployment service, both of which WMC now operates. Q. What persons are affected by the new grant of powers? A. Everybody, man or woman. Mc Nutt said he considered the en tire population "a national pool" from which military. Industrial and agricultural manpower needs will be filled. His guiding prin ciple will be "to enable each man and woman to use his or her best abilities and skills where they will contribute most to the war effort." Q. How will agriculture be affected? A. The WMC, SSS and department of agriculture al ready are planning steps to pro tect farms from loss of necessary labor. Q. What will happen to pri vate employment services and systems? A. McNutt said all pres ently approved labor hiring and recruiting methods would contin ue In operation until further clarification. Q. Will the USES, be ex panded? A. Yes. McNutt said machinery was being set up to handle transfers of labor within Industry and for direction of farm labor movement and mobil ization of local volunteer farm work groups. Q. How will the new setup af fect procurement of men foi the armed services? A. Henceforth all services will obtain the bulk of their new manpower through elective service. Voluntary en listments are terminated for men IS to 38. The navy may continue to recruit 17-year-olds and men 38 to 80. The army does not ac cept men under 18 and, under a recent war department rul Inc. will not take men 38 or older unless they are urgently needed MEDFORD MAIL are some questions and an because they possess certain spe cial skills. Q. How will the new Induc tion rules affect applicants for commissions? A. The navy will continue to accept applications from men in the 18-38 category. It will not, however, continue to enlist officer candidates and permit them to conlnue In col lege. The war deparment is still working out details of its new Induction policies. The 38-year-old rule, however, will not affect volunteer officer candidates who have been accepted but not yet called. Such men will be induct ed when the army Is ready for them, as In the past. Q. Why are voluntary enlist ments terminated? A. Enlist ments, McNutt said, have result ed "in the withdrawal of so many sKinea workers as to threaten production of vital war mate rials. His aim Is to allocate man power between industry and the armed services "in an orderly process." Q. Why has the war depart ment decided to discontinue ac cepting men 38 or older? A. The army found that men above that age, although passed by medical examiners as physically fit, can not stand up under the rigors of army life. Communications Thankful Family To the editor: Please accept our sincerest thanks and gratitude for print ing the appeal for our dog, Mike. It met with the highest success. The appeal came out in the Fri day paper and Saturday we had our dog. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of 11 19 West Tenth street saw the dog and recognized him from the description and picked him up. They notified the Humane society and through them we got Mike back. The Johnson family did It purely through k'ndness as they woudn't accept a reward. To say "thank you" eeema very inadequate, but to express our real feelings Is Impossible?. Let us wish you and staff Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sincerely indebted.

WINDOW SCREENS IN WINTER We keep windows screened the year around because many of the fool bugs don't seem to know whether It la summer or winter. Some one recently observed that the cricket's chirp is speedi er, more chirps par minute, whan the weather is hot, slowing down in rate with . colder weath er. In a way this may be Brady true,- but a troupe of crickets outside of my windows gradually slowed down notwithstanding the nights were as warm or balmy as ever and finally quit altogether about the time the Marines reached the shores of Tripoli. Probably their union rules require that they knock off for the winter, whether winter comes or not. In every part of the country, especially in the north and the east, where artificial heating is necessary, window screens of un bleached muslin are useful for maintaining healthful humidity, in the bedroom, in the school room, in the shop or office. Many years ago Dr. J. B. Todd of Syracuse, N. Y., Introduced the cloth window screen method of ventilating or air condition ing schoolrooms, shops, bed rooms, offices, and the method was employed satisfactorily In schools in many parts of the country, from San Diego, Cali fornia, to Plymouth. Massachu setts. One or more wlndowscreens made of unbleached muslin, full size of the window or at least half-sash size, may be used for each room. The screen does not exclude daylight, but does ex clude wind, snow, rain, dust, in sects, drafts, yet admits fresh air and adequate moisture to Im prove the humidity in the heat ed room. After months of serv ice such screens become soiled, but - may be taken out and washed. For making the screens Dr. Todd suggested plain un bleached Piquot or Black Roch cotton cloth. Dr. Todd found that there was (Continued Page One) specifically stated In the bill and no other suspensions. Lead ers of the administration say that the president should be given authority to admit Euro pean refugees and afford a haven for aliens for the dura tion and about five years there after. This is one of the fighting points. It is contended by oppon ents of the measure that once these aliens are admitted for a specified period it will be im possible to eradicate them later, and point to the thousands of refugees who hava escaped Hit ler and are on the fringe of the United States prepared to move in. see THE bill to permit Adminis trator Paul Raver of Bonneville to acquire the Puget Sound utility is supposed to have been written by the new general counsel, picked by Raver in New Orleans (lawyers of the north west were Ignored In this selec tion). It is brief and to the point. The measure has been handed around on capital hill in the search for a sponsor. Harold L. Ickes says that this bill is al he wants; he Is not shooting at any other utility In the terri tory. Oddly enough. Senator Homer T. Bone, sponsor of the Columbia power authority bill, 'was not consulted in this new proposal and up to a few days ago had no knowledge of its ex istence. There have been con versations with Lehman Bros. a financial house, concerning buying revenue bonds. Director Herbert H. Lehman of foreign relief and rehabilitation, was formerly a member of this firm. Quick action is desired on this bill before the new congress cornea into being. e e e WITH the session of the Washington legislature starting next month, James O'Sulftvan has been sent to the national capital to arrange for passage of a measure freezing prices in the Grand Coulee reclamation area.

QUESTIONS Jj AXSWEBS now Embarrassing Kindly Inform the writer which book you consider best on the sub ject of raising Infanta and cere and feedlag of children? (B.

Of course this Is wild and wooly, for Instance as to feeding wee tlkee bananas and such stuff, but believe It or not I get testimon ials these days from people who were raised on the teachings therein.

Drink aa much milk, water or fresh fruit Juice beverage as you like, but taking alcoholic beverage or liquor Is a risky sort of abuse of the remaining kidney. (Copyright 1942. John P. Dllle Co.) Ed. Notei Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Bndy should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D tea Ed Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. Grand Coulee sent O'Sullivan because of his years of lobbying for the project. Ha Is from Eu- phrata. The measure provides a method of procedure for the disposition of school lands, fed eral and private lands In Coulee and must be approved by the Washington legislature before It becomes effective, and unless there is Immediate' action the Washington lawmakers cannot act until 1845. One feature is to break up large holdings and to prevent speculation in the lands. It follows the plan of the reclamation service. In no re spect does the bill deal with the hydro-electric power issue. FROM earliest days when the sheep industry of the northwest had its start, growers have been branding their sheep with tar and it was regarded as a good practice; no complaints were made. Now the government is telling sheepmen to discard this method of branding, saying the pelts thus marked cannot be cleaned as the tar defies all ef forts to remove it. Instead of tar the government suggests that a chemical be used. e e e SECRETARY Wickard will reduce wheat acreage in the In land empire in 1843. Acreage for the nation will ba slashed 827,000 acres and Washington and Oregon will have to agree to take their proportion of the cut. The percentage has not yet been worked out. F E Vlctorville.

OPA. at the request of ODT, Is Instructing Its war price and ra tioning boards to issue temporary transport rations to such oper ators sufficient to take care of their needs between December 1 and January 31, In such cases, temporary transport rations will be issued by the boards on the basis of the operator's own esti mate of his minimum mileage needs. Instead of on the gallon- age stated on the ODT war cer tificate. ' ' War price and ' rationing boards are being urged to limit those gasoline allowances to the applicant's minimum require ments, judging each case on the basis of their knowledge of lo cal conditions and mileage re quirements of the applicant. To Deduct Later All rations Issued under the temporary arrangements will be deducted from the operator's al lotment granted by the ODT in the certificate of war necessity for the first period, beginning November 22, and ending March 31, 1943. OPA boards are asked to notify each applicant who claims an insufficient ODT ra tion to take an Immediate appeal to his ODT district office, it he has not already done so. If the applicant is a farmer, he will be referred to the farm trans portation committee of his coun ty USDA war board for assist ance In making the appeal. OPA already .has authorized the Issuance of temporary trans port rations for commercial mo tor vehicles where ODT certifi cates of war necessity have been applied for but not received or where certificates showed ob vious clerical errors. Today's action was necessary, ODT officials explained, to al low time to issue corrected cer tificates of war necessity in cases where original ODT allowances prove inadequate. Washington, Dec. 8 (U.B The shortage of chewing gum Is not actually a shortage. It's a result of heavily Increased con sumer demand. John M .Whlttaker, chief of the WPB's confectionary section, said 1942 gum production was nearly equal to 1941, but that the principle factor behind the empty gum counters in drug stores was greater consumption. Sugar and gum bass shortages are only contributing factors. Cum consumption in 1941 was nearly five times greater than in 1914 and will be about the same this year. The American people chewed 15,000,000.000 sticks of gum In 1941 equivalent to about 115 sticks for every man, woman and child In the country. The 92,000,000 people In the country In 1914 only chewed about 40 sticks each that year.
