More monkey-business at the cross-roads. One reason Gov. Dewey of New York shies at the GOP nomination for president next year is he wants to find out more about "the mechanics of government."

Paul G. Hoffman, president of the Studebaker Corporation; T. C. Crawford, president of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers, and Eric A. Johnston, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, are leaders In this Important work. We also read in magazines how the Gener al Electric and other large companies are now drawing blue prints to provide for post-war unemployment. These committees, however, are composed annua Merchants Minimis Own Important" . w hear little from storekeep ers, big or small, Independents or chains. These people seem to feel that their hands are tied and that they must take whatever comes from the manufacturers, In the form of goods to sell, or from the public in the form of goods to buy.. This is very wrani attitude for merchants to take. Storekeeper are really sit ting In the . driver s seat. They ahould wake up and realise It Manufacturers after sending out few samplesmake their goods only an orders. Even the great national Industries are de pendent upon their salesmen, and their advertising campaigns and finally upon the storekeep ers. The future of these big na tionally known companies is 100 per cent in the hands of shop keepers, .large and small. I feel so strongly about this that I be lieve merchants should receive some special tax considerations by cities, states and the federal government In the post-war struggle for employment Chain Store Heads Also Have Obligation In addition to the merchants' responsibility for national em ployment, chain stores have a pedal local responsibility. When was a boy, Gloucester, Mass., had a real Main street where most of the stores are located and it Is still known as "Main street" Forty years aoo the stores were all "independents" nwned by local people who were the leaders in the churches and civic organizations of the com munity. These former independ ent stores have since nearly all vanished; both sides of Mam street are now lined with "for eign" chains. Chain stores have come to stay. They are as necessary and as important a part of the dis tributing system as are depart ment stores, mall order houses and Independents.

After World War II, when people may again be obliged to count their pennies, these chain will b godsend. But I do appeal to the managers of these chain stores to make more friend with th people of their communities by becoming mor tctiv In their churches. civic organization and welfare movements. . 'n . eponsuuirf In th final analysis, th own- rt of big department itorw, mall MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, cent fewer sheep. During the first nine months of this year the number of ani mals marketed for meat showed a greater drop than in 1942. The stiff decline from 1940 to 1943 could be due to failure of the state licensee to file a com plete monthly report, or to gov ernment quotas and price regu lations. But it isn't due to a lack of farm livestock, for fed eral statistics show the greatest livestock populations of record this year. A Department of Agriculture summary showed 40 per cent fewer cattle slaughtered in the first nine months of this year than in the same period In 1942. Sheep slaughtering dropped 46 per cent, hogs were down 37 per cent The department's monthly record showed: Cattle Sheep Calves Hogs Goats 39,805 82,239 12,113 62,835 77,084 15,070 ,64,239 90,789 20,092 75,517 108,777 22,489 crease In the number of applica tions to file under the state's community property law, Elec tions Division Administrator David O'Hara said today.

Let us not be Indifferent and rely upon the great advantages which rherchan- dlse securities always have had. It Is true that the chains have no conversion problem, no trou blesome bond Issues. and are not tied down on one location. Mer chants do not require skilled help and hence will have low post-war labor cost. They are not tied down to on kind of goods, Ilk manufacturer: but they can purchase th best goods wherever they are manufactured and they can sell them at the lowest prices. No One Can Profit From Inflation No one, In the long-run, can profit from Inflation; but far sighted merchants should surely be able to profit bx It for a few. years. While railroads and pub lic utilities may suffer greatly from inflation, the merchandise in stores is slowly rising in value. Hence, along with good farms; certain oil stocks, etc.. merchan dise securities ought to be the beat Inflation hedge. Storekeep ers, after the war, should have another great advantage, name ly, through the ending of price controls, rationing, etc., wnich Is inevitable. Considering how well the chains and Independ ents have got on during the war. with all these regulations and other handicaps, you may Quick ly visualize what they can ac complish when these handicaps are removed. One more thought: The pessi mists today claim that America no longer has frontiers of unde veloped land which have taken care of the unemployed after previous wars. This may be true of new land, but it is not true of new discoveries. The end of the war may find your city one of the great frontiers of America due to the development of new products, new methods and new Ideas. I hope that every city in whicn this column is printed will remember the famous story by Dr. Russell H. Conwell. "Acres of Diamonds." This is story of man who traveled all over the world seeking diamonds and fi nally found on of the largest deposits In his own backyard.

NO CREAM TONia Some medical authorities still , advise patients with acne (exces sively oily skin, blackheads and pimples) to avoid greasy foods, pastries, sweets and sweet drinks, butter, lard gravy and I don't know all. . I never have been able to learn why the old-timers are so "agin" such Or Brady foods for young people with oily skin or acne. I used to think that per haps my medical education had been neglected or maybe I had been enjoying brief snooze when the professor of dermatol ogy explained it to our class. But after I had practiced for six or eight years I conducted exten sive research in regard to acne, digitalis, crl, rabies, gout, neu rasthenia and other fond medical traditions, and arrived at the only conclusion the facts war rant, namely, that there Is no sci entific basis and no clinical ba sis for the notion that a person with oily skin or acne cannot thrive as well on fats, oils or sweets as one who has no acne; No wonder the old-timers were and are so reticent about it. All they knew is that some old-timer away back conceived the notion out of his Inner consciousness, and somehow it got into the medical textbooks, as such things will, and all the old-timer away back knew about it was that it seemed plausible notion and patients seemed to like It, too. If you are ignorant of physi ology it may seem reasonable to suppose that too much fat, oil or grease in the diet would just exude through the "pores," and that's about the size of the no tion of the old-time dermatolo gists. But If you have have ever studied physiology you know that (1) the fat, oil or grease tak en as food is as different from the oil excreted by the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin as It Is from any other bodily excre tion; and (2) that the activity of the sebaceous gland and the News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued from Pago One) words that Russia will not at tempt to communize or domin ate the little nations it proposes to re-establish by extension of this treaty through Europe yet somehow, the document strange ly lost and omitted provision No. o or the Anglo-Russian agree ment upon which it was found ed, provision pledging no terri torial aggrandizement, accidentally or purposefully, that provision was forgotten. treaties are only treaties and words only words, the fact of this matter being that Czecho slovakia and smaller nations will not dare resist their great and dominant new friend after making such an agreement, see TTHE very act of the treaty itself establishes eastern Eur ope as the Russian sphere of in fluence, although, literally, the treaty is aimed at mutual pro tection against a future Ger many in which Russia will Insist upon a similar "non-aggressive government." Russia then evidently wants lots of little states In Europe, not with sociallst-collectivist govern- ments, but within a Russian sphere of influence. Weak demo cratic .governments might serve her purposes, because a strong soclalist-collectlvist government in Germany, for instance, might soon be a government working tor another war and redemption. A LREADY some great author "I ties are Interpreting this and other current portents as mean ing Russia already has become the world a greatest power. The Czech treaty on Its face, forecast what she expects to get In Eur ope, up to the Rhine, at least, and, In view of the Russian sym pathies of the quarreling French governments In exile, what she may get there also. Likewise, she already has been promised sympathetic rep resentation In whatever Italian government is formed. Marshal Smut has Inferred as much pub licly, saying the United States will b th second world power and Britain third Realists In diplomacy are be coming resigned to this inevit able consequence of the war. They can sea that Russia also is an Asiatic power, close to the Chinese and through them to India, with certain Oriental ties of religion and race.

YOUNG LADY quantity of skin oil they excrete bears no relation whatever to the quantity or character of the oils, fats or greases taken In food or as oil. Young persons and you say whether you are young or old generally have active sebaceous glands and an ample supply of natural skin oil or often an ex cess of it. So it is unwise for them to apply oils, creams or. greases to the skin for cosmetic purposes. It is only when you begin to grow old or say older if you prefer that the sebaceous glands begin to decline In func tion, your skin becomes dry, sal low. Irritable and needs regular applications of oils, creams or greases to keep it reasonably soft, clear and comfortable. But old or young, remember this: The amount of oil, fat or grease In your food has nothing to do with the condition of your skin.

Smuts spoke of a counter alliance composed of northwestern European de mocracies outside the commun ist influence, meaning Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium. Fundamentally, this Is why Hull and the others here are op posed to Stalin's action. Such alliances necessitate counter alliances, conflict, and eventual ly war. Unquestionably they are go ing to continue to work here toward united post-war action. At any rate, the true size of the problem ahead Is at last becom ing evident to all.
