At one time your corr. was close enough to kick him on the shins, but thought better of it. The D. Phalr tltian-haired beauty, 4, now has four beaus, ranging from J.

An Espee locomotive attached to a two-mile freight train, puf fed through Wed. The Iron horse looked so powerful and business like, even the most daredevilish local speed idiots uncovered in respect when the caboose whisk ed by. a Quite a number of citizens are out again after a cold. a a a Fall rains fell most of the week, causing fanners to rejoice, and all but the more rugged city males to start wearing hats. Many of the fair sex took their fur coats out of the icehouse. - Last week was Better Hearing Week, we now hear. Flannel cakes have made their appearance on menus here abouts Several flannel-mouthed diners praised them. Adolphe Menjou of Holly wood has returned from five weeks ; tour of the African front, and reported the German morale was resolute, unshaken, and adamant Freed British and American soldiers from German prison camps, contradicted him point blank, on the front pages of all the leading newspapers. Take your choice. a a Hallowe'en passed without the usual havoc. A couple of 19 yr. old elfs acting as sprites were caught on a fire escape. Juve niles ran around with lighted punkins scaring ghosts and gob lins, and their Grandma ws. a a a The G. Cleveland Coram twins unleashed themselves down town one day last week. They wasted enough boy-power to run a buzz-saw all day. They are 3 yrs. old today. a Tomorrow is Nov. 1. It does take an expert to figure out this year will soon be approximately over. The B. Tornado smacked Eureka Fri. eve by the gentle manly score of 13-0. The hunting season lagged last week, with hunters hunting shotgun shells more than furred and leathered creatures. a a a Wildcat strikes throughout the nation are causing the masses to quit fretting about the post-war status quo of the under-privileged Syrians, and holding onto the New Deal social gains, in the brave new world. Citizens are urged not to scat ter leaves on the streets, as they will get there soon enough under their own power. NEGRO POLL REVEALS 84.2 FAVOR WILLKIE Pittsburgh, Oct. 30 U.R The Pittsburgh Courier, weekly negro newspaper, reported to day that a nationwide poll of 10,000 negroes showed that 84.2 per cent favor Willkie as the republican presidential nominee in .. Forget It! Needless to say the Mail Tribune wants paid adver tising, all it can legitimately get. But there is a limit And it does NOT want any paid war bond adver tising as far as the U. S. government is concerned. a a THE government has enough to pay for in this war, M-ifVinnf mgl-inir rush Vianrl-nnrs in th nroas. .T .M.WMV ..Ik-"- VMM W V f J And the newspaper advertising proposed in the Bankhead bill would come under that heading, for it would make such advertising on the part of the government compulsory, in eveiy newspaper in the country, daily and weekly, totally hundreds of thou sands of dollars. CORGET it The administration does not want it the U .S. Treasury is opposed to it, and the American press should vigorously oppose it If the Government or any agency in it wi&Hbo to advertise because it believes such advertising is needed and will pay, ok, let them buy the adver tising in the regular way, in those papers and districts . ! Il ?H 1 Xl. 1 A. wnere iney Deneve uieir money win Dnng in me Desi returns. But don't make it compulsory, all over the land, don't include all newspapers daily and weekly; there is enough waste and profiteering in this war, without dragging the press into it as accessories and bene ficiaries. MOREOVER how about a free and independent press, when some federal department president, or a professional politician is given millions of dollars to spend in newspaper advertising with authority in each case to decide HOW MUCH ! We are surprised a gentleman of the high standing of Senator Bankhead should sanction such a measure ; we are not so surprised, but STILL surprised, that any respectable portion of the Amencan press would urge its passage f Does Our Bombing Pay? There is a lot of guesswork about the losses of the enemy, air, land and sea. But none about our own. A few days ago, for example, London made a six months report on the allied air losses over Germany, English and American. These must be correct Here they are: u. s. AIR FORCE Heavy Medium Fighters RAF Bomber Fighter Command Command Coastal May 62 10 3 252 SI 13 June 65 0 7 276 35 4 July 84 2 19 195 59 4 August 96 4 13 306 75 1 September 72 7 20 193 85 4 October 174 0 7 166 42 2 Totals 553 23 69 1,388 367 28 The grand total adds up to a loss of nearly 2500 airplanes for six months, or 5000 a year. This is only the loss in Europe. It does not include losses, of couise, in the Far East Nor does it include damaged planes, the cost of wear and tear, obsoles cence, or what have you. The money cost is not figured although an average heavy bomber costs at least a quarter of a million dol lars, so approximately 2000 of them, would add up to half a billion dollars, the total to perhaps 50 million more. MOW for the other side of the ledger. As far as plane production goes a loss of 5000 planes a year for the two countries is a small percent age of the present total output, certainly less than 10, perhaps not much more than 5. So the mater ial loss can be taken in the allied stride, nothing to worry about The loss in personnel, particularly trained pilots, is far more serious. No total in this category is given, but probably 20,000 men killed would about cover it Just as a matter of cold blooded arithmetic, how ever, that loss would not equal the new trained re cruits coming along each year in the two countries, not by a considerable margin. a a ON the other hand, as the figures show the British oil. fnma in cnief aininir a far errnnar Inaa than iho American: a ratio of nearly three to one: and British manpower is definitely less. The percentage of fatal ities however is approximately the same in both forces. So as the American air force approaches its maximum strength, the burden on the British air force and consequent losses will steadily decline. a a a a a FINALLY how about the damage inflicted in these six months on Germany? There is the really vital question. Just how much has it decreased the German striking power, as far as the army is concerned; just how seriously has it impaired German civilian morale? The damage has been great, no one can deny that But how great we fear no one outside of Germany knows, or can know. Judgment, in this country will probably be about as divided on this, as on all questions concerning air warfare, the de Seversky school maintaining the damage has been so great, that Germany will break, in another six months, before any land attack is needed; the Marshall school maintaining that while these air bombardments have been valuable and should be continued, the BIG job remains, what it always has been, to beat the German army on the land. And that will be no Roman holiday. a a a AS far as this department is concerned we frankly DON'T KNOW, we will have to leave the final decision to the experts and Father Time 1 Personal Health Service Br WUUans Brady.

NERVOUS C In the iliree-boll mystery yarn The InvUibla Warm Margaret Millar dates Dr. Hnul Pyre as of the gay nineties when she puts this bit of ho kum in the poor doctor's mouth: "I was think ing," Prye con tinued with de liberation, "of the unnecessary output of ener gy during emo tional scenes. It is one of the Ur. rJraay weaknesses, of civilization that convention forces us to build up inhibitions. The more civilized a society be comes the more restraint is im posed on Its members. Conse quently, we waste so much ener gy In deciding what to do that we often haven't any left to do it with." Of course It Is only fiction. Yet Just such subtle suggestions, especially when mode by such a gifted author, tond to build up in the casual render's mind falsv concepts. It is this influence of fiction that damns it all, from Dickens or Trackery up or down to the best seller of the day. Margaret Millar's neuropjy chlatrist takes off clumsily In assuming an "output of energy" during an emotional scene. The fact is that emotional excite ment of any kind merely causes increased . secretion of adranin by the adrenal glands, and tho adrenin in the blood causes in creased mobilization of glycogen (animal starch, the form In which fuel is stored In the llvir and the muscles), in other words, prepares for ACTION. But If no ACTION follows, of course there is little or no output of energy. If habit, custom, civilized con vention or any other Influence restrains one from ACTION un der the circumstances, all of the body machinery, particularly the cardiovascular system (heart and arteries) Is bound to be dam aged, as any good machinery is damaged by racing the engine with the belt off the flywheel or with clutch dicngaged. That's NERQY ISNT how emotion, any kind of emo tion, without natural ACTION or motion to "blow off steam", so to speak, does harm. Whon you get angry, irritated or an noyed you should either fight or run away, not Just try to seem unconcerned, calm, ladylike, if you can't fight or ' run away, then you should at least make some, vicarious, vigorous use of your muscles as soon as possible, to expend that released energy In a natural way. 1 say Dr. Paul Pry lands clumsily after his brilliant flight for of course no energy is "wasted" In an emotional scene on the contrary one in an emotional state Is that way pre cisely because he or she is not expending enough of the energy he or she naturally should put forth In the circumstance. qt'KSTIONS ANMVKKS KirvBAlta Swratllll I un MnnMs. My only troubla la that mr bands baconia wat with Bwaat when 1 attond daiicaa, and l I vary ambarraiuilns.

Out-of doors, the column was, seen to reach from SO degrees above the eastern horlton to 30 degrees west of overhead, where ; It ran Into a shelf of high thin clouds. The western end showed five parallel lines of white. It was weird and uiiimtural, but strikingly beauUfut. Five Plying Portresses at a great height had shortly before passed along this path going west. A great many people who saw the cloud band but had not seen the planes were greatly puizled by It. Thoae fmlllr with aviation pronounced It either an Intended smoke screen or a "vapor train." Dr. E. II. Collins. University of Oregon physicist who observ ed the flight, found that the train first appeared distinct some distance behind the planes. After It began to form at any point. It rapidly became more dense for some time. This Indicated It was a true vapor train. Two physi cists, a geologist and an astrono mer who observed this phenom enon two of them after the the cloud was completely form ed concur In the following ex planatlon: The clear air at this great height was holding all the In visible water vapor It could. In fact, likely mora than It was normally supposed to, so was supersaturated. The particles j thrown oft from the engine ex I hausts provided nuclei on which the water could condense and It started to do so. This furnished the "trigger effect" and soon a targe amount of cloud was formed, obliterating the original five trails. Being at a great height where the temperature was far below freezing, the cloud consisted of Ice particles. Conditions have to be "Just right" In the occasional spares where these rare trains form. Angular measurements made at two points 7 miles apart indicated this billowy line was 4.8 miles high and 18 miles long.
