Hits does not include "pin money." If the farmer is forced to estimate how much hay he Is going to put on his bind tires the lady should be directed to tell how many pins she Is going to buy the coming year. The CIO of California charges the Henry J, Kaiser enterprises are "better press agents than producers of war materials." They poke along and launch a hip In leu time than it takes .to call a strike or end it. . This dog-goned labor short age may force housewives to Ilea their bread again." (Pierce (Mo.) Leader.) The war gets rough. The coffee shortage situation Is improving slightly. It may not be necessary for a citizen to sneak down a dark alley to get an Illicit cup of it i It Is now proposed to plow up the golf links for gardens next spring. In a match game last Sunday Tonsorlallst Tod Porter carded 82, on the back nine rows. He was weak on short pecks with a new hoe and slashed a thistle into the string bean section. "As Pallette once lived among the Sioux, in a picture, he should know how to manage a scalping knife." (Pendleton East Oregonlan.) Plumb full of tribal lore and tricks. Marshal Erwln Rommel, the late "Fox of the Desert," touted by Nazis last summer as a mili tary genius better than Napo leon, and aa good as Corp. A. Hitler is showing his heels, as well as other rear sections of his anatomy to the British. He sure is a "swiftie." Judges 13:4 depicts his misery, towlt: "Sam son went and caught three hun dred foxes and took firebrands and turned tall to tall and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails." "GRINDSTONE THIEF ELUDES LAW." (Red Bluff (Calif.) News.) A man must have one to keep his nose on. Commentators have started protesting the New Deal trend to ak nothing for America at the peace table except the right to b the goat of World War II. They scent a idealistic notion to give Maine to Ireland In pay ment for the grnis scuffed up in Dublin by Yankee troops. a Portland reports a cougar at large in one of Its suburbs. Once In early 10 s a great, grey timber wolf roamed the J'vlllc area, that turned out to be the sheriff's shiitless bloodhound, ess The weatherman is now serv ing fog. This is no worse than Ills recent offerings have been, but more cusaable. Spain Is closely watched by the Allied leaders. A land that yave the rest of the world "Spanish Influenza" a decade or ro back, needs watching. Returning war correspondents from the South Pacific quash the legend all Japanese troops are In a constant mood to com mit suicide rather than be cap tured. One reports the nearest thing ha saw to "harl-karl" was when a caught Nipp, fanatical jabbed himself in the stomach with his own thumb while yell ing "Banzall" Like the rest of the peoples, he regards death as entirely too permanent. About 1,300,000 women are members of AFL unions and 1.300,000 belong to CIO unions. The Railroad Brotherhoods also have woman members. "The Nation "Loses Well the long-winded debate over the elevation of Admiral Darlan has apparently been lost, By "The Nation." At least the recent issues of that excellent maga zine, directly and indirectly, now admit this action by General Eisenhower, was "probably" justified by "military expediency." That has been this paper's contention all alonfr. First things should come first, and in the midst of a war to the death, military considerations should come before all others. IN other words if this move was justified by military expediency the"n it was right And the Nation and other ultra liberal mediums of opinion, were WTong in condemning General Eisen howr, Secretary of State Hull, President Roosevelt, et al, for refusing to sanction a political debate in North Africa, while the Vichy French troops mowed down the Yanks with bombs and machine guns. The amazing thing to this department, is not that the Fighting French proponents now admit it, but that they ever contended otherwise. We believe it is the first time in the history of war, that high representatives of any combatant nation have, in the midst of the fighting, seriously advocated purely political considerations being placed before military ones! Another $64 Question "The Devil was sick, the Devil a monk would be; "The Devil was well, the Devil a monk was he!" That is the only explanation we can offer for Benito Mussolini and his latest speech about the war, the man really must be sick, and seriously so. Otherwise how could he suddenly become such a "monk?" ' For here is the most extraordinarily frank and damaging confession of guilt and weakness, made by any leader on either side in this conflict, since World War No. 2 started. And by a dictator who hitherto has been the most bombastic, vainglorious and boastful. A copy of the speech in fact only strengthens our original belief, that this amazing apologio has never received the notice it deserves. IMAGINE! Benito doesn't even deny he is what Winston Churchill called him, a hyena ! He doesn't exactly admit it But he maintains he doesn't call Churchill any such names and there fore rates as a "thousand times more the gentleman !" And he does admit he stabbed France in the back, but in the mood of a shamefaced juvenile fisti cuff er claims France stabbed Italy FIRST. MOT a suggestion throughout of victory or even ' ultimate avoidance of defeat In fact II Duce admits he no longer likes to forecast the future, one thing only being certain, this most formidable struggle in human history is a question of to be or not to be, a question of destruction or survival. Whereupon the former strident and strutting "Caesar" declaring only Fascist Italy tells the truth, listed Italy's was casualties to date : Dead: Army, 40.388; Navy, 33,300; Air, 20,124. Wounded: 80.773. Missing. 37.000. Prisoners: 232.778. Total, 444,762. ' And this in a country with a population only about a third that of the United States! TIfHAT'S the answer? What is the big idea? ' The entire speech has this department stumped. It appears to be a problem for Hitler's favorite doctor, or alienist! Vladivostock Again Our special operative in Washington, D. C, re ports a terrific struggle is going on there between certain airpower and naval experts, over the war in the South Pacific The air experts, according to this report, want to abandon the attempt to reach Japan by the way of the Solomons and Philippines, and strike directly from Vladivostock via the Aleutians. The navy not only maintains the Japs must first be driven out of the Philippines, but to start anything through the Aleutians would -result in a Siberian attack on Russia by Japan, and .perhaps Stalin's defeat "THIS "typewriter strategist" can't rule on the con test from a technical standpoint of course, the air and naval experts will have to thresh that out. Moreover as all readers of this department will recall, this U. S. attack on Tokyo from Vladivostock has always been a pet scheme of ours (in fact records will show it was first suggested in this column a year ago this month) so this court would be prejudiced. RUT speaking entirely from a very general and u layman's standpoint it has always seemed to us that staging an attack on Japan from Australia was taking the long way around, when a much shorter and surer route lay through the North Pacific with Alaska as a base. This idea wasn't entirely original with us. In a conversation with General Arnold before the war with Japan started and before the General was chief of U. S. air, he remarked, that in any war in the Pacific, ALASKA (NOT Medford!) would be the corner-stone of U. S. offense and defense! On the other hand, of course it is obvious that had strong U. S. forces NOT been sent to the South Pacific and kept there, Australia would long ago have been conquered by the Japs!

THYROID AND A boy aged tilne years who had adenoids was subject to the habit of bed-wetting. The doctor (London Lan cet. t-l-'OS) hoped that re moval of the adenoids might stop the bed wetting, but on the contrary the boy was worse after the operation than before. Then the doctor sus pected that re- Dr. Brady moval of the adenoids had deprived the boy of a necessary internal secre tion, so he gave the boy a small dose of thyroid extract dally. Promptly the boy stopped wet ting the bed and never had any further trouble from that habit. Then the doctor tried thyroid treatment In twenty-four other cases of bed-wetting, and all ex cept one responded to the treat ment as well as the boy who had lost his adenoids. The doctor observed that all of these bed-wetting children who were so remarkably helped by thyroid were undersize, un derweight, had low vitality, con stantly sub-normal body tem perature, frequently complained of feeling cold even in warm summer weather or in surround ings which other people consid ered perfectly comfortable, and often had cold, blanched fingers and hands. Many of them had adenoids and high arched palate. (Laymen cannot obtain thy roid extract even if it were safe to use It without medical super vision. Physicians may find data on the subject In Forch heiraers Thsrapeusla of Infernal Diseases Vol. IV, and In Sajeus's Internal Secretions and Princi ples of Medicine, Vol. I.

From now on. and especially after Jan. 3, 1943, the president will not find congress subservient as it has been since March 4, 1933. This he recognizes, aa one leader after another (Senator Berkley. Speaker Rayburn, etc.) go to the White House and report that they cannot get the legislation demanded. Congress is prepar ing to make a sharp line of de marcation between the legisla tive and the executive branches of government; the president has practically usurped the duties of congress. ass THE effect of the "no fourth term" decision (which can be reversed later) is to renew the Inner circle task of scouting around for a new leader. The in siders have been split on this point for the past year, but no one to date has received the nod from the president a a a IT may cause wonderment why the house passed unani mously the bill to inclide laboi costs In parity prices for th farmer when last Septembet this cost was not Included ir orders from the White House At a conference of Democrats leaders John McCormack, ma Jority leader, explained: He could not call a quorum (too many house members were not in the national capital) and the few present about 37 passed Beware Coughs from commtM eoi.t That Hang On Creomulslon relieves promptly be cause It goes right to the seat of Uv trouble to help loosen and expt germ ladee phlegm, and aid natur to soothe and heal raw, tender, to flamed bronchial mucoua mem branea.
