Muni Ottc PmiJHIERl Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry The Governor of Oregon has had the house he was occupying In Salem, sold from over him, and is unable to find another one. The chief executive reports, "it looks as though we may have to sleep In the street." This as sures him of the sleep-in-the-itreet vote In the next election, e e e One of the Espee engineers blew his whistle so loud and long, the first of the week, many suspected he was "skinning h cat" on the whistle cord. Following the rains of the past five days, the country never looked greener. The people, however, are not as much so as In election years, e e e The end of the war In Europe brought changes In the fields of romance, and, lawyers are as busy as the preachers were, right after Pearl Harbor. . e e e Mr. and Mrs. J. Cochran Robin became grandparents Thurs., when their oldest girl introduced them to quadruplets. "The little darings can ODcn their mouths wide enough to swallow their Maw," said their proud Grand paw, when he stopped strutting on the cthse lawn. Gordon Warner Is now In Au tria, and writes his folks he li looking the country over thor oughly, and he never intends to go back, e e The S. elevens dog 'Twlrp" continues very much put-out, but continues to stay In his back yard concentration camp, as provided by city ordinance. e Norman, the Ed Kubll of the Applr-gate boys, is still in Hawaii and the rmvy. He reports he Is tired of listening to the trade winds in the palms, and would rather fall In an irrigation ditch than the Pacific ocean. a e e The Dick Phalr boy Dick now sports but, ball, and a glove, and has started out to be another King of Swat like Babe Ruth, instead of President. e e a The Craters and C. Pointers clash today in the first ball game of the season. Both teams are out for blood, and what Is more Im portant, the most runs. e e a A special ctly election will be held June 12, and a special state election June 22. There la some doubt the tired voters will make it to both. e e e The world security confab at Frisco Is nearing the finish. They have tackled about everything but the C. Chaplin paternity suit, and the question of putting K. Falls on the Pacific Highway. e e e A Chicago educator comes oi't with the statement the Germans. Naiis included, are human be ings. From all the evidence dur ing their world conquering drive they had a tough time being human, and regarded It as a sign of weakness. e a e Col. Floyd Hart Is here for a fow days from the South Pacific. He was surprised at the growth of the city, and his boy Henry. e e e Not enough fish were caught in the Rogue and tributaries last week, to cause any family argu ments over cleaning the piscator ial beauties in the kitchen sink, the Older Girls state. v e The cherry and strawberry crops are coming along as well as could be expected, an dwlll be ready for farmers to pick, and birds to peck into, in about two weeks. Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, May 16. Secretary Stettinlus held his second press conference yesterday, and enjoyed himself very much. The subject was "human rights" which the secretary emphasized Is one of his favorite topics and in his judgment may well comprise one of the major accomplishments of this historic gathering. e e a a e It Is Interesting to compare the various big shots at this con ference, an excellent opportunity being provided at these close-up press conferences. rif thm all to date Secretary Stettinius is the most ingratiating. He addresses the news men by their first names, smiles a great anri In answering Questions shows a definite eagerness to please. . We would not be surprised to learn he read Dale Carnegie s "How to make friends and influence people" more than once, and accepts the modern business formula "the customer is always right", more literally and enthusiastically than any of his col leagues at this imposing gathering. e a a e e In fact, if one were to search for complete oppositcs In the field of diplomacy and foreign relations, the choice of Secretary Stet- t nius and Commissar Molotov. could naraiy De improvea upon. Temperamentally and professionally they certainly are as unlike and far apart as the north and south poles. It was difficult to resist the wish that the two men could pool their characteristics and methods, and then have them divided on a 50-50 basis; Mr. Molntnv more a devoted disclnle of Mr. Carnegie, and Secretary Stettinius somewhat less so. The success of this conference would certainly be greatly enhanced by such an operation! Secretary Stettinius gives one an Impression of youthful energy, enthusiasm, a man delighted with his job, bending every energy to make a success of It, but to use a golf term "PRESSING" a bit, perhaps! As the Secretary of State went on witn nis tnesis, wnicn at limes rose to a crusading fervor reminiscent of Secretary Wallace and his bottle of milk for every Hottentot, that dour, resistant, cynical figure of Molotov, pale and unsmiling, kept coming up in spite of all we could do, especially when the former head of U. S. Steel declared: Equal rights and self determination of peoples and freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of information and freedom of communications" are among the fundamental purposes of the new world organization! Freedom and self determination for POLAND? Freedom of speech and press in any part of Russia or any land which Soviet Russia now controls? And then those firm bull-dog features of Winston Churchill arose as "Winnie" proclaimed the inviolability of the British Empire, and Secretary of State Stettinius soberly Intoned: We believe furthermore that it is a special obligation of the greater and more powerful nations to respect the right of self-government not only in their relationships with the peoples of dependent areas, but in their relationships with the people of small nations who are already indepen dent and wish to remain so!" (Later one of the East Indian newspaper men arose and asked if the secretary had any special "dependerit peoples" in mind. Needless to say the answer was in the negative, but could hardly be heard in the laughter -which arose.) So what? Well in brief a lot of words signifying, in any realistic sense. absolutely NOTHING! For not only are these human rights not to be enumerated in the covenant of world security, but no machinery is to be provided for the enforcement of such rights, if subsequently they should be named. Then why waste valuable time and energy In such directions? If these declarations are to be taken seriously then they can only cause resentment In Russia and Great Britain; if they are not to be, then why clutter up the records with them at all? e e . e e e It seems to this department that the business before the house at this conference is to create the machinery for as far as possible preventing war and especially any repetition of the present war, at least during the present generation. And that is a big enough Job without branching out in an uplift program for foreign govern ments that don't want them, and claim their peoples are not yet ready for them. Let first things come first. And tha first thing for this conference Is to get the peace machin ery set up and then see that it WORKS! As R. L. Stevenson once remarked concerning other matters, THIS will require all man has of fortitude and delicacy." R.W.R. Your Health and It's Care By DR. WILLIAM BRADY.

DERANGEMENT (Continued fro (Continued from 'yesterday) The most satisfactory support for deranged knee, in my Judg ment, is tnat devised by Dr. Walter Trus low, Brooklyn orthopedic sur geon: Flex the knee 15 de g r e e s and apply a knit ted ela s t 1 e (nof rubber) band age 3 fni-hpa wide Dr. Brady rom , point 4'4 inches below to a 4V4 inches above patella (knee cap), with moderate tension.

It is Just possible that some of you muttonhcads (I mean partic ularly you college and high school graduates with your sweet childish innocence of the fundamental facts of physiology, anatomy, hygiene and pathology and you. Wiseacres with your almanac and nostrum testimoni al education) will choose to ignore what I say about this and carry along the impression that I am recommending some sort of bandage that cures internal derangement of the knee. I repeat, it is merely the best support I can suggest for one with such trouble, and if my Knee were so crippled I'd have 1 . ine uperauon pronto. PAYS LAKE VISIT Leo A. Borah, Washington, D. C, editorial writer for tha Na tional Geographic magazine, was a member of a party headed by E. P. Leavltt, superintendent of Crater Lake National park, and Arch Work, of the soil conserva tion and irrigation section of the Department of Agriculture, that left Saturday for the park. Bor ah will gather data for a forth coming article on southern Ore gon, and will be followed in a couple of weeks by photograph ers, Supt. Leavltt said the other purpose of the trip was to view snow conditions, relative to a definite date for opening of the park for visitors. All travel in the park will be by the Tucker "Sno-Cat." Manager George Howard of nearby Diamond Lake, reported last week snow had melted away near the lodge, scheduled to open June 1, but it would be necessary to clear away snow on the Diamond Lake highway at its highest point for traffic. Stump Ranches Key To Black Markets Seattle, May 19 (U.R) OPA officials said tonight that be tween 30-50 per cent of all meat sold in 19 western and central Washington counties, including the city of Seattle, was sold in the black market, and meat sup plies available to the public were 10-15 per cent lower than this time last year. Blaming farm slaughterers for the mnin "leak" in area meat supplies, OPA food rationing of ficial B. J. Fotheringham said the bulk of these slaughterers operated "little stump ranches on the edge of cities, from which they sold meat to friends or restaurant operators without points and at higher than ceiling prices. The serious part of these di rections for applying support to the deranged knee are Dr. Trus low's. The facetious touch, as you would suspect, is mine. Speaking seriously, for a mo ment, I hesitate to pass this sug gestion along to sufferers from internal derangement of the knee, even though I know It is a boon to many such sufferers. The trouble Is that it may keep them comparatively free from accidents so long that they be come content to drift along with out benefit of surgery. So let us be candid: This support devised by Dr. Truslow is in my opinion superior to any other elastic or flexible support for internal de rangement of the knee. At the same time I believe it never cure the trouble. Further, I be lieve there is little or no pros pect or hope that the trouble will heal spontaneously.
