Times print OPA news under the heading: "Rational and Irra tional." The red coats and skirts that made the fair sex look so heated last SeDtember now makes them look comfortable, even if It Isn't fashionable. Word comes from Washing ton. D. C. H. Hopkins, deputy orcsldent. will move from the White House at an early date, after 11 years as the star boarder. For a man never elected to anything by a vote of the people, he has a unique dis tinction. The public views his moving under a roof of his own, with calm Indifference and the comment: "It was about time!" The gracious and charming First Lady reporting the switch saia. Mr. Hopkins' chief function around the place, was as a source of handy Information. He was never asked anything one of the Quiz Kids could not answer, Just as promptly. It Is not thought this change near the other side of the stream will pro long the war. SCALES ARE OUICKERI (Los Angeles Times) "The formula is unexpend ed chest circumference, di vided by four, and this quotient squared; this square then multiplied by height in inches, and that result multi plied by specific gravity of human tissues (which Is one.) The result is weight in pounds. The last multiple, specific gravity, can be omitted, be cause it la one." The problem of how to handle "poor Germany" In the post-war world is no problem at all to Russia. The re-education of a nation, whose favorite pastime Is war, is all figured out and ready for application. The "simer-race" as they arrogantly ' call themselves, will work off their bclllRciency by re-bulld- Ins- the cities and the roads they have destroyed. When this is rnmnletcd they can start pack. Ins back the loot they have stolen from conquered lands. The Soviet plan, plain and Sim ula, lacks one thing. No ar rangements have been made to have members of the Polish and Jewish races act as "straw bosses." Os Mall Tribune Wsn Ma. More Guess Work Russian war communiques declare German troops are being rushed from Italy to halt the Red Army avalanche. American war communiques from Italy declare flrrman trooDS are beinar frcnt to halt Clark and Montgomery. Which is true? The best answer probably is neither. IT IS extremely doubtful the Germans are weaken- ing either the Russian or Italian fronts now, and almost certain they are strengthening both as far as that is possible, from their reserves. This would be only common cense. For on both fronts the fighting is in full blast, while all other fronts for ODiet MOREOVER, there is every reason to believe neither the Russian command in the East nor the Anglo American command in the south, have any certain knowledge as to what the German High Com mand is or isn't doing regarding reinforcements. How could they? Prisoners are notoriously un reliable in their information, and espionage doesn't function effectively in any enemy G. H. Q. In short, reports like these come under the head ing of "guess-work," just casualties do. Thev will continue of course. But those interested In the truth regarding this war, will continue to dis count them. Is Allied Strategy Sour? i . Our "column-left" expert Mr. Paul Mallon ques tions the wisdom of the present allied strategy. He suggests the time Rtosevelt-Churchill conference to plan new decisive ventures "which will save lives by, straight, strong action." The United Nations, he mendous superiority over being properly utilized. Many laymen, no doubt, ment Progress in the South Pacific is exceedingly slow and the daily reports monotonous outside of Hiinor air raids, little has been accomplished on the crtdit side for two or three months. There Is a similar monotony and sameness in the Ttrlian campaign one day's report might well be taken verbatim for the next few days, except for a change in the names of a few Italian villages no one ever heard of. J : y Only the Russian front retains its color, drama, and tangible results. MEVERTHELESS, and with all due respect to one of th beat Washincton corresDondents in the country, we think it rather part to doubt the allied high command, is wortung night and dav to bring about oreciselv what he urges the maximum utilization spa, and in the air and tough, straight action shorten ing the war and thereby saving lives. For example, there is new allied offensive is in tjie making in the South Pacific now, and also in Europe, and when the con ditions are propitious the blows will strike. But it takes no high paid military expert to also see that until certain Japanese strongholds in the Pacific and certain German strongholds in bouthern Europe are eliminiated no successful all-out offen sives in either area are possible. And to beat Japan the mainland of Japan MUST be attacked by sea air attacks alone can't do it So in South Europe, until the Germans have been driven ouc of Italy any allied offensive through south ern France or through the Balkans, would be under a terrific handicap, and almost certainly risk serious disaster. IN other words, there is no quick or easy way to win this war either in the east or the west While there are undoubtedly flaws in the allied strategy allied mistakes undoubtedly will be we see no reason to believe that with men like Generals Eisenhower for the U. S. A.: and vvavell for England, Anglo-American strategy seriously wrong with it as Whether there is or not hive any serious consideration should come from men who know and have practiced the business of ar, rather than from those who have not and Paul .Mallon, like other civilian commentators, has NOT, The Navy and the Waves THE Navy has today two and one-half million men, sufficient to meet immediate need3 IF women will volunteer in sufficient numbers to replace men in administrative, clerical and technical jobs. That is why the principal stress on Navy Day was placed upon new recruits for Waves and Spars to re place Navy and Coast Guardsmen. Women between the ages of 20 and 36 years of age, who can meet the somewhat relaxed physical requirements of these services, should step forward. Battle casualties must be replaced; men on shore jobs must be sent to active sea service. The need is extrepiely urgent H.G.

Calif. WHY SHOULD A OWL WEAR A GIRDLE The diaphragm (the chances are about ten to on you don't know what it is nor how 1 1 functions) hardly had chance to fune 1 1 o n in the early Victor ian era, the era of the wasp waist, when women wore powerful corsets braced with whale bone . stays so that a counle Or. Brady 0f strong as sistants could lace the . corsets firmly in place. Women of that era who were wealthy enough tb have corsets did what little breathing they were allowed to do with the thorax exclusively, and so the heaving chest became the artistic symbol of romantic emotion. Rigid corsets have gone out of fashion in the past generation. Fashionably dressed women gained a good deal In health and in relief from various "female complaints" since they settled for girdles In place of corsets. A girdle, whether elastic or not, gives the diaphragm, the belly muscles of the loins and back comparative freedom to function. The heavy or deep muscles In the loins and back have a good deal to do with good posture, ana good posture pro tects the woman against back ache and fatigue. The better a woman's educa tion, which of course includes physical as well as mental train ing, the less she needs even a girdle for support Her own muscles give better support than an artificial contrivance can. It Is the poorly educated wo man who is so earlly sold on the idea that she must wear a girdle of some kind as "foundation" for dresses or suits If she wishes to look stylish or well dressed. The girl who would enjoy the greatest possible comfort, health and genuine beauty must make it her concern to get Ml the physical education her school course offers. She must beware of accepting opportunities or ex cuses to dodge physical training. She will make a serious study of regular 'daily exercises suffi cient to keep her fit not cower- ful or more muscular than she Honolulu. Oct. 28. U,R-Ad- tnlral Chester W. Nlmitz, com mander of the U. S. Pacific fleet. said In a. Navy day speech that American amphibious forces will drive westward through the Pacific to seize bases from which a pulverizing day-and-night aerial offensive will be mounted against Japan. In his most optimistic speech since the start of the war, Nimltz told the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce late yes terday that the war against Japan would be over "long be fore the gloomy prediction of 1849."

J LIONS TOLD NEED AIR MEDAL GIVEN OF PLANNING FOR MISSING PILOT'S MEDFORD FUTURE WIFE IN MEDFORD Constructive post-war plan ning for the city of Medford was revealed In an address de livered by City Superintendent Frank Rogers, to Medford Lions at their weekly meeting Wed nesday evening at the Jackson hotel. The superintendent - pointed out that at Medford's founding, plans were made to service a city of 5,000, in the matter of street, garbage, sewage and lights. Quickly outgrown, modi fications and improvements were adjusted to provide for a city of 10,000, with resultant im provisations. Facilities for 10,. 000,' largely outmoded, the city faced with, the prospect of a permanent increase following the war, of a predicted 25,000 to 80,000 population, stands in need of extensive improvements with respect to sewage, garbage disposal, lighting and flood con trol, he said. Forward-looking citizens, stat ed Rogers, can plan now to facilitate these proposals with a view to providing necessary employment after the war and to. protect affected resldenis from sanitation lack and dam age from overtaxed sewers; to provide adequate garbage dis posal, which is fast becoming a major problem; to safeguard tne city from disastrous floods, such as threatened It last win ter and to correct the lighting facilities of an otherwise beau tiful city. Dr. W. F. Roney spoke on behalf of the Toastmasters club, for Intensified cooperation with the current war chest drive, as did George Buchanan for th same organization, with respect tn tne significance of Navy day. A visiting Lion was Clifford C Volgt of Klamath Falls. The meeting .was opened by the president, Earl Miller. ATTEND COLLEGES Southern Oregon College of Education, Ashland, Oct. 28 Total civilian population at the six institutions of the state sys tem of higher education num bers 4442, according to Dr. Walter Redford who recently returned from a meeting ot the state board of higher education in Portland. Total civilian en rollment is approximately 43 per cent under a year ago, with the number of women about the same as last year, but civilian men off about 80 per cent a expected. Of the 1,093 men, practically all are under 18 or are deferred for special reasons. The percentage drop in civil Ian enrollment Is as follows: Southern Oregon College - of Education, down 33 ner cent: Eastern Oregon College of Edu cation Is down 52 per cent; Oregon College of Education, down 33 per cent; University of Oregon, down 41 per cent; Ore gon State college, down 31 per cent.
