By Arthur Parry The last half of the Pearl Har bor song title, "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," is now warbled by hunters, both deer and bird, with much gusto and great depth of feeling, a a a Word now comes the nation Is faced with a shortage of "shorts," an Item of male attire worn inside the pants. It is high time the country started to run short of shortages. a a a One year ago, the following Axis propaganda was wafted over the ether: "The English and Americans would do well to make, just for once,' at least an attempt at winning one battle." Here is something for Herr Hit ler to chew upon, as a change from eating his own words. Many recall how early in the war, they received the sad word Der Fuehrer was unable to sleep nights, not that anybody cared. Current events no doubt leave him wider awake than ever. a a a "Bachelor Flat, a thriving community in Columbia county, has all its men in the fighting forces either married or gone to war, or both."

(Gallup FoU) The election vote will de pend not only on attitudes to ' ward the Republican candi date but also on attitudes to ward the candidate put up by the Democrats." a a a Oreece, a land that suffered from Italian treachery and ag gression, and, would have beat the Allied forces, to tneir uiu- mate trouncing, but for the Ger man hordes rushing to the rescue, wants no part of Italy as an ally, or co-belligerent. The trend to treat the aboriginal Latin cussedness, as misguided cuteness. and, forgive by turn ing the other cheek, appeals not one whit to the Greeks. They have another idea, as well as a word for it a Weather regulations have been relaxed. The local weather cele brated with a gaudy rainbow in the west, followed immediately by Its own relaxing. a a a GO AHEAD. BLUSHI (Clinton (Iowa) Herald) "The bride was dressed in light place in the Wesley - temple in Minneapolis, with ' Dr. George Mecklenbcrg, past or, officiating." a a a A comptroller of the govern ment reports the war depart ment is throwing away "untold millions," and in the doing are "snapping their fingers at Con gress," instead of the traditional twiddling of thumbs. The snap ping of fingers allegation causes The suspicion to arise, mere may be a crap-game, raging In the vicinity. It is broadly charged the "untold millions" was spent like a drunken sailor, throwing It at the birds, with a steam shovel. BEFUDDLED JUVXNILESI "He was entertained to see how much interested city chil dren are in the farm stock shown there.

They wanted to know also how the hens could con struct an egg and place a round smooth shell around it." (Mon mouth Herald). Cae 1111 Tribune Wan Ada. The Holes In the Axis Dike The Nazis' Festung Europa has been imperiled by military and political blunders of the Nazi high command, forcing Germany to ration shrinking military resources to plug holes in a "vast dike" extending from the Arctic ocean to the shores of the Aegean, declares Capt. H. A. De Weerd, asso ciate editor of The Infantry Journal. ihe Uerman doctrine marily in close support and under the actual com mand of ground officers (despite the fact that the Luftwaffe is a separate air force) played into Allied hands in North Africa," Capt. De Weerd wrote in the current issue of Flying. As long as the Luftwaffe must support an army spread out from Finland to achieve the concentration in one area without exposing some other part of the irerman army to disaster. "'APT. De Weerd asserted that the "peculiar vul nerability" of Hitler's "Fortress Europe" to air attack arises "from the very nature of the Nazi system." He pointed out that though the Germans piled one conquest on another from 1939 to 1941, they never succeeded in reconciling any of the conquered peoples to their so-called 'new order'." Unable to trust their own people with freedom, he continued, the Nazis could not extend freedom to the conquered and were forced to garrison all Europe. The war of attrition against Russia forced a thinning of the garrisons -on the perimeter of Europe and there was a parallel dispersion of the German air forces. "The defense of so-called 'inner lines' by the rapid shifting of forces . . . has been a favorite sub ject for German military writers since the days of Frederick the Great, he explained. "Before the event of long-range air power it was possible for a nation with interior lines to carry out the shifting of its forces within the perimeter of its defenses quite unmolested. Germany did so from 1914-1918. The Axas tried the same thing in the Mediterranean theatre before the fall of Tunisia, but the new factor which upset their calculations was the capacity of Allied air power to disrupt their lines of communi cation and isolate their forces." W. B. Post War College Aims Some readjustments unquestionably will be made at the top of the American educational system to fit it to give the greatest possible service in the postwar world. That is far from implying anything revolutionary. , But in some respects it is going to be a different sort of a world, and in it there will be pressure to have the colleges and universities put tremendous stress on "pi'ac&csT rather than cultural aims. Heads of many privately endowed institutions in America are girding themselves to resist the pressure. Dr. Robert Clothier,, versity, in a recent article in The Educational Record, is more optimistic than some on that score. He says : "We believe that the basic tenets of our educational faith will be preserved, for the ultimate success of any society, particularly a democratic society, must depend upon the intelligence and character as well as upon the skills and expertness of the individual. In particular that is the purpose of our liberal arts disciplines. We believe the liberal arts will be fully restored to their proper place in our . educational philosophy." ' VET this cultural education, as contrasted with .armallv imnnrfarif anrin. oflnatiAn nuorrit trt be somehow reassayed, in Dr. Clothier's opinion. Profound as is the satisfaction it gives the individual in present and in later life, he makes the point that perhaps people will swing to the viewpoint "that knowledge used for the common good is a higher goal than knowledge 'for its own sake'." Failure to realize it in the past may be the reason, he thinks, "why pur technological skills have outstripped our social philosophy." Conceding that many students are not capable of it, the head of Rutgers cannot be wrong in his feeling that the colleges have not paid enough at tention to the encouragement of original thinking. Tutorial and preceptorial plans, theses and compre hensive tests have been applied to this end in some institutions. Dr. Clothier longs for the day when such techniques will be improved and applied to special groups in all institutions of higher learning. After all, sound and original thinkers must be the hope and reliance of this and every other nation. R. S. SABOTAGE PLANS OF JAPS SEEN IN LAND HOLDINGS Los Angeles, Oct. 19 (U.R) What State Sen. Herbert W. Slater described as "the most completely planned scheme of sabotage the world has ever seen" was described at the open ing session of a state senatorial hearing today with submission of maps showinj Japanese land holdings near southern Callfor nla industrial and military es tablishments.

PICTURE OF Probably there are ten cases i of mild pellagra, pellagra per haps without the typical akin signs, , pellagra that goes un recognized o r Is called "neii rasthenla," "stomach trou ble" and the like, for every case of full fledged pella gra that Is reo o g n t z e d and properly treat ed. Especially in the northern I f. - t Or. Brady part of the United States and in Canada where the disease does not prevail so much or advance so far untreated as in some areas of the southern states where pel lagra is endemic. Endemic means simply pecu liar to a district, and does not imply that the disease is com municable or infectious. Goitre is endemic in certain districts in the north, but of course is not communicable or infectious. The picture of full-fledged pel lagra is composed of character istic manifestations in skin and mucous membranes, digestive tract and nervous system. Exposed tract of the skin, es pecially the backs of the hands, forearms and forehead, and often around the neck like a collar or necklace, show reddening, In flammation like sunburn, more or less pigmentation, cracking. sometives ulceration the pa tient is likely to attribute the skin lesions to unhealed sunburn. The mouth is usually sore, perhaps cracked at the corners. and the tongue is very red. sometimes swollen and sore, with excessive flow of ' saliva and drooling. Patient complains of burning sensation In stomach, and there is stomach acidity, perhaps vom iting, often diarrhea. The patient feels weak, tired. lacks ambition, is accused of be ing shiftless and no-account. Ir ritability, anxiety, vague fears or phobias, queer or irrational behavior are among the earlier signs of -deterioration In the nervous system. If the condition still goes undiagnosed the pa tient eventually becomes deliri ous or maniacal. -..-! News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued from Pas Ona) lowed these extra-legal rights Indeed, the bill throughout gives "other branches of gov ernment" the right to manage and collect votes of all non- military men, beyond army or navy jurisdiction. (The govern ment politicians thus managing their own re-elections.) The war and navy secretaries are alone to furnish the fighters information as to candidates. Messrs. Stimson and Knox are particular types of Republicans in this Democratic cabinet who will not be in the Republican cabinet if Republicans win the next election. No provision is made for any opposition politi cal factions of this country to submit their cases to soldiers, a a a OTHER details of the proposal ra)vAl an fxiunllv plftnhnn. tine insensitivity to any sem blance 'of political justice gen erally associated with elections in laws and theories at least. Now everyone knows 10,000,- 000 fighters must be allowed to vote; also the merchant marine and government officials in va rious parts of the world. But a fair presentation of the politi cal alternatives and a just col lection of the ballots must be offered. The governing commission may contain two Republicans and two Democrats, but should be chalrmaned by some non political legal personality such as the chief justice of the su preme court. The ballots must De cast un der the state election laws In order to be legal. Lotal election agencies should mail out ballots to the men In the armed services and the votes should be cast by mailing back the marked ballots to the local officials.

Brady. M. D. PELLAGRA Pellagra, whether only mild and minus the typical skin mani festations, or full-fledged, Is pri marily due to prolonged or con stant lack of niacin (nicotine add) In the diet, but in every case there are associated short ages of other vitamins of the B complex group, especially ribo flavin (vitamin B2 or G). so that the prevention as well as the treatment or cure must al ways insure an optimal dally ra tion of vitamin B complex which means several times as much as may be required nor mally to maintain good health. The minimum dally requirement of niacin to maintain good health has not been precisely deter mined but is probably 10 milli grams, as much as one gets in a capsule of vitamin B complex or in three or four heaping tabl? spoonsful of brewers' yeast pow der, a quart of milk or a pound of lean meat.

PM STANDS PAT New York, Oct. 19 (U.R) The newspaper PM, repeating its charges of an anti-semitic reign of terror m Boston, challenged uov. iweverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts today to disprove -any single one" of the accusa tions. In a statement addressed to Saltonstall and signed by John P. Lewis, managing editor, the newspaper said the governor ad mitted to reporters that com plaints had been received "on the matter which we exposed.' Saltonstall, Incensed by a PM story charging that Jewish resi dents were being abused, yester day ejected tne author, PM Re porter Arnold Beichman, from his press conference. The dispatch, published Mon day, purported to expose "Chris tian front hoodlumism" against Jewish residents of the Dorches ter section of Boston.

A. Activities The motto of the Oregon Par ent-Teacher Congress, "A Mem bership in Every Home," has promise of achievement as par ents, teachers and friends rise to the call. The week of October 18 to 22, inclusive, is nation-wide Parent-Teacher association mem bership week, and is at this time an especially significant exam ple of the American way of life. Cooperation is the essence of success in education and home and school -must work together to achieve the best results. As stated by L. R. Alderman, spe cialist in adult education, U. S. Office of Education, "The child whose parents and teachers are Intelligently Interested in Ivs progress is the child who does the best work in school. Parents and teachers often wonder why. given two children equally en dowed with ability to learn, one should do well In school and the other should do poorly, barely passing or perhaps not passing work. Many factors may enter into such a picture, but the at titude of the child's parents fre quently plays the most influen tial role." The world of tomorrow will be in the hands of the youth of today so it should be a vital concern not only of parents, but of every citizen, to take an ac tive interest in the guidance of American youth. One of the first steps -in such participation is a membership in the Parent Teacher association. POOR HOUSE TO CLOSE Mt. Vernon, 111.
