Jan. 8: Dined at the Dunes last night and had the questionable pleasure of listening to Eddie Cantor patter way In the next cubicle. He talked so fast and his girl friends talked so loud, we failed to glean the drift of the conver sation, but Judging by the laughter Eddie was in a good mood. They say this Isn't always true, "they" In this case being our waitress. ... . "Eddie Is up and down", said she, "and now and then he and the boss have it hot and heavy when something Eddie orders ain't Just right. And with all his dough he is as tight as the bark on a tree, except when he is entertaining like he is tonight. Give me a man you can depend upon, whatever he Is, let him be THAT and stick to it so actors as far as I am concerned, la out!" Not the place to rule out actors exactly for they are all over the sand lot. At that not as many as usual, in fact not as many people here as usual. They refuse to admit It at the Chamber of Commerce, where they Informed us all attendance records were being broken. But in all our trips here we never before observed so many "vacancy" signs up and down the streets except over the week-end. Had a late luncheon at the "Desert" sidewalk cafe getting our favorite spot a corner seat In the warm sun. Vera Vague and Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Durante were coming out as we staggered in following 18 holes with our dentor pal from L. A. The trio formed quite a contrast Vera Vague, smart, smiling and attrac i. innkina Mr. and Mrs. Jimmv D.. well Quite the reverse. Sorry to have missed their conversation that should be something worth a broadcast. And now cornea Admiral Stark to loin those who think Ad' mlral Halsey was way off the beam when he proclaimed the war will end this year and the Japs are no-account apes. Admiral Stark has Just returned Irom Lonaon, wnere ne nas been In command of U. S. naval forces, so he certainly speaks with the highest authority. (We would not be surprised indeed to learn he said what he did at tha suggestion of the President.) At any rate Admiral Stark gave the best summation oi me present situation we have heard to date. We quote! "My views have never changed. I think this war will be long and tough , Any other premise would be an utterly false one on which to work. If we should be surprised by a sudden blow-up of the enemy which I don't expect it would be good news. If we look for a "blow-up" it will be wishful thinking. I expect 1944 to come along with greater power for us and we ought to be strong enough to smash In anywhere. The greatest enemy is the sub marine I could wish we were knocking them out faster. They could not be our first enemy If we were destroying them as fast as we would like to.1 Wo nartlmilarlv like that nortion: "if wa should be surerised by a sudden blow up of the en emywhich I don't expect it would be good news BUT" that is an utterly FALSE oasis on wnicn to wurai It Is! This column s Idea exactly, and has been so stated from the outset. In any Important Job, above all, war, the well-known saying applies with exceptional force, to wit: HOPE for the best, but prepare Tor the worst!" FOR If you DON'T prepare for the worst and the worst comes (at It always possible) then GOOD NIGHT! Here Is a perfect example of what we mean by faking head lines regarding the war and thus distorting the war picture. (As frequently stated the L. A. papers are notorious offenders in this direction). Here Is the News front, page banner for tonight: "NAZIS ORDER RZHEV EVACUATEDI" Rzhev is one of the really vital bases In the Moscow area and its loss would be a crushing blow to Hitler. But what does the dispatch on which this banner Is based say and where it It from? Here It Is with a London date-line: 'The Morocco radio said tonight that according to re ports from a German source the Nazi high command had ordered the evacuation of civilians from Rzhev, big base 130 miles northwest of Moscow." Of CIVILIANS the evacuation' of Rzhev, and the evacuation of the CIVILIANS from Rzhev are as different as the poles the first means the Impending capture of the vital base, tbe second means an Intensive effort by the Nazis to defend it. One could fill a book with similar cases of mlsreoresentation by the L. A. press, with the Times less guilty than the others- due perhaps to the well balanced and trustworthy Bill Henry. You can t have your cake and eat It too. You can't have 130 million people guaranteed comfort and security from F. D. R.'s 'cradle to the grave", and also have that driving force on the part of the same people to guarantee that security for themselves by their own efforts, which has unquestionably, in a material sense, placed this country ahead of all others in the world today. For a nickel apiece one can get nice Mcdford pears Cornice too at the Palm Springs stores, and they are selling like hot cakes. R.W.R. Personal Health Service By WUliam Brady. M. D.

Rlcken backer would have us believe. No doubt the gullible nine-tenths of the world, that vast majority that has not yet acquired the scientific method of reasoning about facts, actually believe thatj tne gun wnicn lit on nis head when he was on the raft on the Pacific awaiting rescue, was an act of the supernatural, brought about by praying. So far, no ref- utation of this feeling has come to the attention of the under signed, who holds to the opinion that a supernatural force Inter ceding In the affairs of man Is not only the bunk, but highly Injurious to Individual and so cial well-being in that it tends to prevent the use of force or forces that would bring about the changes desired or neces sary to prolong life. In the first place, the age of miracles never was, isn't, and never will be. Adaptation ex plains all acts: especially Is this true and easily understood, of those changes that occur in the vast domain of biology. And the Rickenbacker luil is no eirren- tion. The bird was adapting it self to circumstances which turned out tragically for itself but most fortunately for the shipwrecked fliers. We should give thanks to the circumstances for the rescue and not to any personified abstraction. Rick's fame as a flier, soldier and a man of action la no doubt well merited, but tt should not carry weight when he 1 Judged as a man of mind, as a philoso pher. In spit of all the claims mad for the efficacy of prayer tnrougnout tne ages there does not exist a shred of evidence mat would .withstand tha slaught of the scientific method of arriving at truth. R. Hegner,' Box 6, Sausallto, CaL Whispers from Camp White Dr. Brady In nearly every Instance nose bleeding comes from what physi cians call Kiesselbach's area on the front part of the nasal septum (parti tion between nostrils). This area is so close to the end of the nose that simple light steady pressure on the sides of t h nose be tween thumb and forefinfer, with the head bent slightly forward, will control the bleeding. Reason for bending the head forward as you sit or stand Is to cause forward incline of the floor of the nasal chamber so that blood will not run back through the nasal passage into the throat. When or If this simple maneu ver fails to stop the nosebleed, then a physician may readily see the bleeding point by using a nasal speculum, and touch It with a suitable cauterant or co agulant to stop the bleeding. If the physician is not equipped to do this, then he may have to pack the nostril with surgical gauze. NOSE BLEED almost tbo first day I bar enjoyed rood nlo-nt rest. (Mrs. i, P. D.)

Doctors prescribed various remedies which did no good. Especially annoy Ins was the constant Itching and un pleasant odor. I tried an esperlment put a drop of lodme In ear with eye dropper. It caused terrific pain for a few minutes. After that X used two parts water, one part Iodine, a drop In ear each day. In about three weeks the trouble cleared up and have never hen bothered ilnoe that was seven teen yesrs ago. (L. V. c.) Answer It was heroic. Solution of ten grains of borle acid in one fluid ounce of alcohol (pure grain al co- nan, a drop or two In ear night and morning, used agreeably warm. proved an excellent remedy In many cases or enrome running ear. The standard MILD tincture of Iodine (U. 8. P.) or the WEAK solution of Iodine (Br.) Is about 3 strength. On part or mis wins four parts of, water would r (Continued from Pag One) Direct cause of the bleedine In many cases is abrasion of the' ,D ,0Un "'""on lch might covering of the septum with fin- gernail. Violent blowing of the nose Is another cause. sometimes nosebleed occurs without blood appearing at the opening of the nostril, but ow ing to the position of the person (say lying down) the blood flows back Into the throat and when the Individual discovers blood In the secretions expelled from the throat as In coughing he as sumes the blood has come from somewhere deep in the head or from the lungs. Traditional application of cold to nape of neck, say by means of cold compress or a piece of cold metal, as a method of stopping nosebleed is harmless, if it does not disturb the patient, but its efficacy Is questionable since most nosebleeds stop presently even If you do nothing at all. Ql'KSTIONS A ANSWERS Insomnia We always enjoy your sensible col umn. Thank you for tbe suggestion for Insomnia.

Toung persons with running ear should have the benefit of medical examination and treatment. Sources of Vitamin K What foods contain vitamin K, the coagulstton vitamin? (H. 8. P.) Answer Vitamin K. the antlhem-on-haglc factor, plavs a part In the formation of prothrombin In the blood, which Is essential for normal clotting of the blood. Hence deficien cy of K leads to the tendency to bleed excessively. Vitamin K Is pres ent In alfalfa. In green leafy vege tables and especially In spinach, cab bage, kale, cauliflower. In seaweed, eoy bean oil. hog liver fst, rtos bran, brown rice, wild rice.

With the sudden re alization that food, and still more food must be raised for a hungry world, at home and abroad, the prospect is brighter that appro priations may be made to com plete certain of tha suspended reclamation projects. These may include something for the rec lamation part of Grand Coulee and something for the Deschutes project. An effort was made on the last day of the 77th congress, in the house, to rush through a bill by unanimous consent providing for methods of preventing land spec ulation at Grand Coulee.

The part time manufacturer objects; the cop per, ne says, cost him $871.22. Made into spinners it would have a value of $6300. As spin ners, the government would levy an excise tax of 10 per cent, or $630, and, of course, collect 'an income tax from the maker. WPB is not interested, however. in what the treasury would col lect; what WPB sees is that there is a small Jag of copper to be grabbed.
