Erwin (the esteemed Salem Statesman edi torially calls him Edwin) Rom mel, has been placed In charge ef western defenses by Herr Hitler. Erwin is the ona Ger man general who relies more on bis running ability than his bullheadedness to win, and, Is full of legitimate military trlcktness. If any of the Nazi cut-throats is entitled to leni ency, when the wholesale hang ings start in the post-war period he Is the one. Because of his elusiveness in African desert warfare, he is called "The Fox." When the Allies launch their Invasion of Germany he . will have to be "The Fox" and spell It with two xx's (Foxx). Everybody bore up well under the fog. It was the only disagreeableness in a long time not caused by bureaucratic tinkering. Furthermore, cuss ing of the same was not listed as . giving aid and comfort to the foe.

Result, most fac tories have quit rather than go bankrupt, and there will be fewer brooms with which to sweep out the bureau-' crats." e e A Chicago Judge freed red headed lady, charged with threatening to admit daylight to her boy-friend Ala a .38, on the grounds she wrote poetry.

' - The Mayor of New York talked dry before New York preachers and the press prompt ly put a Journalistic foot on that bit of political hyprocrlsy. They re-printed a 1920 picture re vealing the Mayor, transform ing home-brew Into real beer and charged His Honor was a two-fisted drinker who took four slugs of whiskey in his high-balls. It looks Ilka the nation was faced with the re turn of the candidate who gets drunk and makes temperance speeches. A congressman complains the Cairo conference of the "Big Three" offers Japan "nothing but extermination." That was all Japan offered America. "As ye give so shall ye receive." LIFE ON COOS BAYI The old bluw refrain "so she danced off both .of her shoes," was literally and figuratively enacted this week when "Gas- House Mary." one of Marsh- field's genial waitresses.

Treasury outlining plans for the next war loan, declares this one may be next to the last a prelu.de to the final Victory drive, to end all loan drives, as far as World War No. 2 is concerned. The U. S. Treasury representative may be right We hope he is. But we trust those in charge of the loan will not sanction any such talk as an incentive for more generous buying. AS a matter of fact no one knows when this war will on A onrl tho npoA nf oYtrnnrrlinnw financial Run. -- w- , - c port will no longer be needed. And this goes for those who are at the front running the war, as well as for those who are thousands of miles behind the front listening to repo.is of it THE war might end tomorrow On the other hand it might still be going on a year even two years hence. . "' There are so many imponderables in the situation that the most authoritative prophecy as to when fight ing will stop can be no better than a guess. . CO the less those in charge of this January war loan try to pose as war soothsayers the better'for them and for all concerned. , Let them concentrate lions are needed and must be raised, and leave specu lation as to just when the war will stop to those who have no .responsibilities in financing it ' How About General Patton? According to reports from Washington, various promotions affecting U. S. are being held up until the General ration and his striking of the-soldier boy has been more clearly determined. ' . 1 For General Patton's name is on the list, and the powers-that-be don't wish to run the risk of incurring disfavor by giving the principal in the North African "incident" a raise in rank, when the American people would like to see him punished by demotion if nothing worse. , ;.

WE are at war. donat-al Pnttnn to on war, The Question is not what the people of the coun try may or may not THINK of General Patton and what he did, but the fitness of the general for the job he is doing. - 1XTAS the General himself suffering from shell " shock when he attacked this young soldier and therefore was he not entirely accountable for his ac tions? Or was there no such excuse, this was not an isolated case, but merely added evidence that Gen eral Patton is a four-flusher and a bully at heart, lack in.? entirelv in Belf control, and emotionally unfit to hold any responsible command in the field or any where else 7- , , . i Certainlv a treneral in respect and affection of his' job as it should be done, as utterly lacking in self-control and good sportsman ship as this incident would indicate, could not have that affection or respect On the other hand, if demonstrates that this incident was in no sense typi cal, does a great injustice to the man that the General is not only a great combat leader, but just considerate and a square shooter then there is every reason to believe he is doing his job as it should be done and he should not only be retained but because of his splendid record be raised in rank. . In other words this is matter of popular opinion the record and the facts. Let the proper authorities determine what these are, and then regardless of what the popular view may or may not be, let them act in accordance with THEM and nothing else: Back To the A not-so-prominent but item on page one the other day afforded welcome relief from the almost solid which the American public has been feeding for so many months, , It was a dispatch from Los Angeles announcing the results of a questionnaire circulated among the city's working women asking if they planned to return to housekeeping after the war. The answer, of course, was a foregone conclusion. Sev enty-five per cent obliged with an emphatic "no. There in a nutshell is one of the major problems which will face Washington bigwigs in the post-war period. During the past year or two American women have tasted work entirely foreign to the washing, bed making, cooking, irouing and innumerable other chores which previously had marked their humdrum existence. And they like the change. They like to feel they are doing something worthwhile, and they like to be paid for it So back to the dishpan? "Never 1" say the irals.

BO YOU'RE TAKINO - BLOOD From the letters I receive every day letters from all classes of people I gather that a good many Ignorant people who may be college graduates or well edu cated in the ordinary sense of the term are taking treat ment, ' trying medicine or following fun ny "diets" for high blood pressure, with out any par ticular regard for what, if anything, alls Oc Brady . them. Well. America is a free coun try and here everybody has a right to make a fool of himself. Having discovered in the course of an examination by a near doctor or a queer doctor that the blood pressure Is high, or having inferred from some sense of fullness, pressure or throbbing in the head that the blood pressure must be too high, a good many people make d.fs. of themselves by 1. Taking frequent purgative doses of salts. ' 2. Excluding "red meat" or other food from the diet. 3. Swallowing a lot of garlic or something made from garlic. 4. "Just relaxing" whatever that may mean. 5. Following a salt-free or salt-poor diet. 6. Taking plain or fancy sweat baths in the belief that sweating "eliminates poisons" from the system. Too many uninformed or mis informed people imagine one with high blood pressure' has too much blood" or that the blood is "too thick." Neither notion is correct. One with high, blood pressure has no more blood than a normal Individual and Is as likely to be anemic or to have thin blood as is any one else. ' These are negative facts, but E Fire which escaped from a fireplace on the second story floor caused considerable dam age early this morning to the home of A. Z. (Tubby) Dean, 1006 S. Oakdale avenue. Local firemen were summoned to ex tinguish the blaze at 12:10 a. m. Fire Chief Roy Elliott re ported today that the fire escaped between the base of the fireplace and the wall, and spread by eating through the Joists between the wall and plaster to the back part of the house. Estimates of financial loss had not been made yet to day, but damage wai reported to be extensive. , BIRTHS HEBRING To Mr. and Mrs. Robert, Rt. 1, box 137V4, Med ford, Dec. 16, a girl, seven pounds, at Community hospital.

Tops In Odd Requests" To the editor It was with some little indig nation that I read of the local Ration Board's little "tops in odd requests" featured in the Mail Tribune of December 15th. Just what Is so odd about a soldier's request for boots to keep his feet warm and dry? He was unable to get them through the Army and had writ ten his wife to request the Ration Board here to issue the necessary permission to pur chase the foot gear.
