A representative of the U. S. 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.

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. , ;.
THIS strikes us as a thoroughly undignified and im

the one thing that should NOT be done, namely decid
ing this -issue on the basis of personal popularity and
POLITICS.
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:

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

From the letters I receive
every day letters from all

a good many Ignorant people

of the term are

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

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. (He was a
