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.

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.

It met with the highest success.
The appeal came out in the Fri

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

Mike back. The Johnson family
did It purely through k'ndness

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

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.

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

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. OJ
Answer Oo far as I know none of
recent vintage la better than that
quaint old hand boo., "Holt's Care and
Feeding of Infanta.- If you're willing
to risk the young un's happiness,
send ten cents and stamped envelope
bearing your address, for "The Brady
Baby Book." 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.
Pica
Formed habit of eating "a
baking powder ten years ago. Used to
eat 8 boxes a week, now much leas,
but bava to take soma every two or
three days. Doctor said It wouldn't
hurt ma now If it hadnt hurt me all
the time I've been eating It.
(U. w. K.)
Aniwer I agree with the doctor.
Ore vine; for such unnatural things Is
a common peculiarity called plea -chalk,
clay, ashes, etc. Generally
harmlese, has no special significance.
More wholesome to chew on would
be a handful of wheat, tome oatmeal
or rolled oats, raw carrot, turnip,
cabbage, potato, etc. X remember when
I was a kid I craved peanut shells
and preferred 'em to the peanuta.
One Kidney
One kidney removed a year ago.
Getting along fine. As a cook I spend
long hours in the kitchen, become
very thirsty, drink much water, milk
and other liquids. Will this Injure
the remaining kidney? la It all right
to take some beer or a little whiskey
occasionally X find a little pepa me
up when I get very tired on the Job.
(R. 8 )
Answer The spare win carry on aa
efficiently as two kidneys, tf you take
care or it. 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.

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.

Action to meet the immediate
mileage requirements of farm

vehicle operators whose ODT
certificates of war necessity do
not provide for as much gasoline
as the operators deem necessary
for essential operations was an
nounced today by OPA and ODT.
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.

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.
