G. - OntfJoOlulspJpii Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry Wendell WUlkie, one of Its warhorses announces the repub lican party can t win In 1B44 by "hating the New Deal." Neither can they win by loving it and agreeing with it, as the gentle man, then a presidential cndl date, did in 1040. e . A Northern California ex change reports an. outdoor citl zen "has been arrested for an Old deer." This Is humiliating but better than being shot for one. Under the new butter ration ing, it will be spread thinner on thq sandwiches than the ham is cut and cost more than a hog and a cow. . . statesmen, even now are pondering plans to prevent the Third World War, and bring permanent peace. Before the . hostilities It was argued the way to prevent war was to send the statesmen, diplomats . and poli ticians first, irrespective of age, physical condition or number of ; teeth. It was also impudently suggested combatant nations pay : for .war material cash; on the barrel head. ' "Wanted A woman to work for husband's board and room and pay besides. Phh 1215-.LL. (Ely Review.) It don't seem right i Italy regards her defeat In the war "as some sort of a victory" nd herself as "a favored ally" of the Allies. She expects to be . spoon-fed and royally - coddled for doing what grim necessity compelled. This national non chalance Is attributed to the lack of firm hand and foot, when ' the first surrendered. Press dis patches report profiteering start ed a soon as British and Ameri can soldiers arrived - and - a : pleasant time was had by all. Italy is still playing the winner and waiting for the food relief hips from America. . , . - HORROR OF HORROR8I (Oakland (Cal.) Tribune) "Herbert Hoover has not " been recalled to Washington to. contribute his services in the present crisis. But the former president's advice has been acted on by the adminis tration in at least four major Issues although without cred it to the distinguished author." - i j The cranberry harvest is un derway on the Oregon and Washington coasts. The crop is good and the first signs of a Thanksgiving sauce shortage are visible. The "Keep Oregon Green" campaign has ended. - The up state press reports the normal greenness was maintained, ex cept for seven men on a raft in the metropolis. .."' The esteemed Pendleton East Oregonlan rejoices "you can still pay 10 cents for a good cigar and get tack four cents in change." Furthermore, if the cigar store clerk is not too busy, you can slap down one of the new-fangled . pennies with the main characteristics of a dime and depart in a hurry with four cents profit "Not only did they steal clothes and kitchen utensils Mrs, Sinlcki valued at $850, but they stayed long enough to prepare a dinner from food In the ice box." (Press Dispatch.) Com, plete and deplorable lack of bringing tip. Herr Hitler has arrived at the Dnieper river (n Russia and an nounces to his winded and lop ing invincible troops, "Here I am and here I stay." He is not expected to maintain this bull headed stand. Otherwise, he will lose the honor of leading his "unconquerables" on their victorious and hurried return to Berlin, breathless but trlum pliant. The Lesson of Naples Come on, "Quizz Kids," which of the following are correct 1. The Germans have abandoned Naples. 2. The Germans have been driven out of Naples. 3. The 8th army has captured Naples. 4. The 5th army has occupied Naples. According to Nazi reports 1 and 4 are correct; according to allied reports, 2 and 3. Any German board of judges would no doubt agree with the Nazi version as any Allied board of judges, with the Anglo- American. DUT impartial history, when the Italian campaign is finally written up, will probably accept the Nazi version, on the ground the Germans retreated from Naples voluntarily and were not driven out con trary to plan by superior force. That, at any rate, appears to be the German strat egy in Italy as it was in Tunisia and Sicily fight and retreat, fight and retreat, fight and retreat, and never make a do or die stand. HOWEVER, a time will come of course in Italy, as it did in the two other campaigns, when retreat will no longer be possible the Germans will have to fight, or quit. In Tunisia and Sicily they quit. Will they quit in Italy? ' . Probably. For Italy is not inside Hitler's 'Testung Europa" but outside, and in all likelihood the Nazi program calls for the ultimate abandonment of Mussolini's boot heel, toe and calf. ' The only question, therefore, is how long will it take? The German strategy is the strategy of defeat, but it does demand its price, the hope being the pries as time goes on will be higher than the allies will care to pay. f orlorn hope! But that is all that is left in the Nazi bag of tricks as we see it Barring a miracle the result is certain. Only the time element, as the Naples victory, shows, remains in doubt. What Price Optimism? Our star Washington correspondent Paul Mallon wants more of this doctrine, that the United Nations CAN'T lose. : ; He thinks the admirals and generals in Washing ton, and even Elmer Davis of OWI, are too pessi mistic. Their pessimism, he maintains, - instead of stimulating the war effort and raising national mor ale, does the exact reverse. We quote: .1'.'.'.. ' '.. . The facts of the situation today, as I read them, are no where near comparable 'to 'either of these previous condi tions, that is, the previous conditions of Germany or Britain in their struggle. ' ; We are-bound to win, and we know it. I cannot see why . we do not proudly proclaim the fact and din it into the ears of our enemies every second of the day. I think that would ' encourage people more, and discourage our enemies. ; We can't aeree with "P. M." in this instance - The fact that the. United States has never lost a war and CAN'T .lose .this one .has, we think, been sufficiently emphasized in the official oroDaeanda on one hand, and bv implication in the official war communiques on the other. The unconditional sur render note also reiterated so often, has had its roots in this absolute certainty of the ultimate result ' in tact this note has been emrjhasized SO MTTf.H that the great danger, as far as civilian morale is con cerned in this country, has been, and is today Not pessimism but over-optimism; not lack of con fidence but OVER confidence! THERE IS it is time no doubt no reasonable doubt u& wio icguiu LIUU VUG V .Kf UUUUV AO w ivilC pii-v that must be paid, to obtain that result And the one thing that can make that price an exorbitant one, is ovei'rconfidence; a wide-spread dis position here in the U. S. A. to UNDUKesumate the staying power of the enemy, to be so certain of victory that- those behind the front, more than those at it, who know the facts, will feel they can let down, re lax, and take a breathing spell and neither that nor anything else can alter the beneficient outcome. Nothing could be less true or more dangerous. : IN fact if over-emphasis CAN'T be avoided and it is difficult to avoid it in this country so infatuated with extremes by all means let it be over-emphasis on the mt'DlUULTlUS of the allied task rather than the ease of same. DETTER than either would be at all times to have tVio TPTTTTI lot tho nonnla Via oHvpn tho PTnct facts and let them at all times resolutely face them But if that CAN T be done, and as mere humans we MUST err: then for the sake of victory in the shortest time, rather than the longest at the minimum cost in blood and treasure rather than the maximum, let us err in the direction of believing we have a HARDER job than the facta justify, rather than an EASIER one.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION CONCERNING CONTACT LENSES km nm A firm that has made over 7000 pairs of contact lenses in the past two years offers the following information which may Interest people who need' glasses but for one reason or an. other can not or will not wear them. First, it Is astonishing to learn that 70 of the 7000 pairs of con tact lenses are Dr. Brad? being worn by men In military service or en tering the service. The lenses are made from plastic material, from an im pression of the individual's eye balls. The length of time they may be worn has increased from two or three hours (as with the older glass contact lenses) to six or eight hours a day. The firm has records of several cases in which the lenses have been worn continuously . up to two weeks. This is exceptional; the length of time the lenses may be worn comfortably is an indi vidual problem -and cannot be guaranteed. However, the firm does not know of any one who cannot wear the lenses comfort ably for at least 1V4 hours at a time. Contact lenses of any kind are definitely not a cure all for faulty vision, this firm hopes I will make clear to everybody. It would be unwise for any one to "try." any kind of contact lenses without first obtaining the opinion and advice of his or her oculist, eye physician. These contact lenses made of plastic are practically unbreak able and, according to the man ufacturers, they are less sub ject to scratching or roughening after prolonged use ' than are some contact lenses made of glass. I am not prepared to supply the name or address of any one making contact lenses. However, on request of a physician or with your physician's- approval I'll be glad to give the infor mation If you provide a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Of course contact lenses are much more expensive than ordi nary glasses or spectacles. Off setting their greater cost, how ever, is the fact that one saves the outlays made necessary to replace broken glasses, and, again according to the manu facturers, people who wear con tact lenses generally do not require the change of lenses that changing shape of the eye with increasing age makes nec essary for wearers of ordinary glasses.

His tor from the files ot the Mai Tribune 10 and 20 rears ago It is obvious that the strensth of opposition from both labor and industry has made it a dan gerous measure politically. In deed, the republican authors of the legislation have grounds to suspect that the administration has left them holding that bag too long. . The rigid draft regulation which it would impose upon all men from 18 to 65 and wom en from 18 to 50 would make them legally it not practically slaves of the state as far as as signment of work is concerned It follows a totalitarian theme which is away from the latest trend of Washington events and popular opinion. The labor assignment system instituted by Bernard Baruch on the Pacific coast has' fur nished a more democratic way of meeting the problem. It has some ot the elements of com pulsion in the establishment ot priorities for work and the re striction ot hiring to govern ment employment agencies, but the plan is confined to a local emergency basis and the com pulsion has been voluntarily accepted by those involved. It is at any rate a two-to-one bet that the notional over-all compulsion of the Austin-Wads-worth bill is dead until after the next elections, at least. The Baruch idea may be extended to other emergency localities, e THE senate naval affairs com mlllcA lrlllnl ha rtrnultlnn permitting Waves to go overseas, largely on the private recom mendation of some naval offi cers. The committee members made some personal investiga tions of the Waves organization during their recent vacation travels, and brought back splen did reports. They found many girls with unusual education and exceptional background In that service,. However, to transport them overseas would involve comoli- cations of housing which prob ably would cost more than their transportation would be worth. The Idea of sending them over was supposed to have the in dorsement of Mrs. Roosevelt, but even so, some of the naval officers remained skeptical.
