It also provides Germany, will do as she is told, and behave, and not manufacture any weapon more dangerous than a pop-gun. She will not be so hard to get along with as In the past, but will be allowed to work off her energy raising crops instead of world-wide hell. Will Japs Quit In 30 Days? According to Mr. Roger Babson the war with Japan WILL be over in 30 days. And if what the Wall Street expert believes to be true IS true it may well be ! e e e FOR Mr. Babson is convinced Generalissimo Stalin went to Berlin with his final terms for entering the war against Japan. And item No. 1 was: That "the United States drop its blanket demand for "unconditional surrender," and accept the condi tion not to invade or occupy the main islands of Japan, if Japan will raise the white flag now and call it a day. This demand- the financial wizard further states, was supported by the new Labor government of England. are 'IX'ELL, if this is correct; and we grant there a ' certain circumstantial evidences to sustain it- then for the first time since Pearl Harbor this depart ment sees light in the Far East, as far as final peace is concerned. For under such a set-up, Japan would not only be dumb and fanatical but plain MAD not to accept such a life and face-saving proposal. Under it Japan would be spared what she fears more than death national disgrace, humiliation ani an extended period of what she would term racial servitude. True, she would lose her empire, she would be re duced to the 3rd rate power status of half a century ago; but she would remain intact and free as a nation.

I'- 1 , like the Russian people, are fed up with war, and want 'no more of it, if it can possibly and without dishonor be avoided. This is especially true among the working classes who now control the government. So there is a lotrical basis for such a belief. It does sound reasonable. There are only two flies in the amber: I. Is the report of such an offer correct? II. If so, would the United States accept it! Your Hsalth and It's Care By DR. WILLIAM BRADY M.D. Readers should address inquiries toi Dr. William Brady. 265 Ci Camino Beverly Hills. Calif. BIOLOGY MY EYE Here Is a query from a high school pupil Our biology teacher says it is dangerous to use deodorant liquid or cream on the skin as it may stop up the pores, and cause cancer. If the query were excep tional I'd ans wer it by say ing there is no objec 1 1 0 n to the use of such (7 teachprs to think of-it. A little squawk like this will hardly interest the men and women who administer public education. But I don't so much about that. I'm shooting at the youngsters themselves. You nev er know some high school boy or gin may read this and be put on guard against the old hokum bunkem one is so likely to get in biology class. Dr. Brady liquic. or cream, provided it does not set up annoying irritation. and I'd delete the reference to the biology teacher. But it is not unique. It is rather typical of many such queries. And so it seems to me a look at biology is indicated. In the first place, if you will consult Webster for a definition of biology you will pardon the sardonic smile on my map. To duo me balderdash the unedu cated teachers feed the high school children "biology" is as absurd as any pretentious hokum in Yankee popular education, In the next place, how does the teacher qualify to teach this humorous subject called "biol ogy" in high school? That is easy any teacher who has an hour or period not taken up by some seriouy subject such as physics or algebra doubles in biology. What's the dif? It's all a lot of hooey anyway. At least that's what the teachers of real sub jects like history, rhetoric and Latin think of human anatomy, physiology and hygiene and that's the way the politicians on the board of education expect' QUESTION'S & ANSWERS Migraine I cannot begin to express my thank iulness for vour recommendation of calcium for mlr.Talne headache. It gave some relief from the very first dose and by the aecond day the migraine was over the first relief I have ever had for years I spent nearly two davs out of every week vomiting with sick headache, but for several months now I have not had more than a mild attack lor a month at a time (C. H.) Answer I am glad to know you found relief. On written request (not a clipping) I will send any reader who provides stamped sell addressed en velope pamphlet on headache. If you wish, inclose ten cents for booklet "The Calcium Shortage." Varicose Ulcer Since using vuur treatment fUnna paste ooot) the varicose ulcer on my leg and ankle has about half healed out. Your pamphlet says to leave boot on for several weeks, but I have been changing It once a week. I wonder if I am doing wrong? Should 1 stay in Dea or may l Keep on worklnr? (A. B.) Answer If you must change the boot so often I suggest that you use instead the other treatment described in the pamphlet if you can get the necessary rubber sponge. With either treatment the more you walk about the better. Treatment of varicose veins and varicose ulcer is described In pamphlet available on written request (no clipping, please) If you inclose a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress. Widow Wants Child I am a widow, 46, . in good health, financially able to take care of a child. I want to adopt a child but the Chil dren's home Society prefers couples under 43 years of age and there is a long waiting list. (M. C. W I Answer Your ape and wealth are minor factors. Your character is the important factor. If the organization takes that arbitrary course you had better get out of line and begin scout ing for yourself. (uopvrignt by John r. Dine co.) I will promote this basic educa tion, this inter-group under j standing, they are teachers in i deed. Regardless of where in ; the school system they serve, they will posses opportunities that well may be envied by any university Ph. D. professor in the land1 The best insurance for everv individual and for the nation as a whole is that every one learn some trade. P. S. Althought I personally greatly regret the defeat of Mr. Churchill, I believe it will short en' the Japanese conflict. Now, England will join Russia in urg ing us not to invade the Japan ese Homeland if the Emperor will give up his ill-gotten terri tories, which terms I believe the Japanese will accept. Hence, reoeat mv forecast of a few weks ago, namely, that the Pa clfic War will be over some time this year, perhaps within thirty days.

The wisest one-sentence comment on the Potsdam pronouncement comes from Senator Elbert D. Thomas of Utah: "If we go slow we will have a better peace." CORRECT! For the slower the process the greater the time al lowed for adiustment. And the greater the time al lowed for adjustment the less likelihood of making mistakes very likely serious mistakes. a TPHE great danger in this peace program, as in all peace programs following a terrible war, is haste and hate doing things on impulse and m anger as a result of passion and pressures induced by war rather than rational action taken in an atmosphere of sober thought and cool wisdom. All in all, we believe the peace treaty outlined it has not been definitely drawn up as yet is about as reasonable and fair as could be expected. There is nothinrr soft about it. But on the other hand, it holds out some hone of salvation to the German people if they behave them selves. And. ns time rops on. not onlv will allied passions cool, but the situation throughout Europe will change, the German temper will change and what appears necessary today may very well not appear so a year from today or two years. CO an excellent idea go SLOW ! Don't rush things. We don't mean any needless dilatory action. We do mean, under the administration of this new allied council now taking over, the exercise of caution, re straint, and, above all, looking forward- not oacK- wnrd. mittincr the. future and the welfare ot tne WORLD first, not the past and the self-interest of any one PTOup. Tlini-f. is nnthincr to lose bv such a program. There may be MUCH to gain not for any one nation but for all! We Need More Mechanics Babson Discusses the Learning of Trades Seeds of War Senator Taft of Ohio-thinks the dismemberment of East Frussia civing one part to Poland, another to Russia contains the seeds of another war. In our opinion the senior Senator of Ohio is en tirely right. This "partition" does contain the SEEDS of another war. It is also directly contrary to the essen tial principles of the Atlantic charter. DUT sowing the seeds of war, does not necessarily 0 mean having war. The seeds of war, like any other seed. have to be nurtured, cared for, given air and sunlight. As time goes on we believe the errors thus com mitted on Russia's western borders will become more and more apparent. And we have sufficient faith in the United Na tions charter particularly the assembly and its func tion of free discussion to believe there will be a fairly good emce these seeds will be destroyed be fore they can germinate asd produce another crop of widespread destruction, suffering and disaster. l ne clanger will not arise for another decade at least. And before then it will be plainer than today we hope, that certain fundamental principles of Chris tianity are not only good morals, but good business! Babson Park, Mass., August 3 (Special Correspondence Three reports happened to reach my desk within a few days of each other. The first tells of the great Scientific Congress recently held in Russia. Representatives of the United States returned to tell us that the Soviets aid to give the youth of Russia vast ed ucational opportunities in sci ence. The second was Dr. Van nevar Bush's inspiring analysis laid before President Truman and entitled: 'Science, The End less Frontier." Proposal: To de velop scientific talent in Ameri can youth. The third report atop my desk is a letter from a high school teacher in a small town of the Mid-West; but first let me say just a word of comment on the recommendations of Dr, Bush. Nation of Edisons If Trades Learned Thomas Edison himself In person once stated to me in sub stance: "People call me a great inventor but I tell you, Babson, there is no reason why this na tion cannot have thousands of Edisons. I mean there should be thousands of men and women who, if they would, could learn trades and could produce useful Inventions." Therefore, I heart ily applaud the program of our wartime Office of Scicntic Re search and Development. But remember that the basis of any such program requires more young people to first become proficient in some one practical every-day trade. Not every young man and woman is endowed with apti tudes for the natural sciences. I hope that somewhere in the pro gram an unfolding place will ap pear for young people whose tal ents are for the more practical things of life. After ail, we all know that great oaks come only from small acorns. This brings me back to the third report to which I referred above. What about the letter from the high School teacher in the Mid-West? It reads in effect: Bettor Understanding of Nearest Neighbor 'Returning servicemen will be greatly needed to work at trades In small towns. Rural areas need and will continue to need plumbers, painters, plas terers, paper hangers, and elec tricians. I have always lived a part of each year on the farm. During the school term, I live in the homes of factory workers, some of my relatives are sales men. I hear all sides (farm folks, industrial and business employes) and I see how each would benefit by better under standing of the other. To me it seems that world unity as well as community welfare, will best be promoted by home unity through better understanding of our i.earest neighbors." This neighborly message has real significance today because it speaks for the people who must put any American program for either full employment or world peace Into practical ac tion. No chief executive on earth, whether Marshal Stalin or President Truman, or any other honored leader, can lead without followers. In the end it will be the citizens particu larly the citizens now in schools who will be the chief execu tives of any program. This ap plies to education in every form and in every community. Cooperation Rd$ts On Mutual Acquaintance This correspondent from the heart of our country has beijun in the right way. Our key groups of people (the farm group, the factory group, and the sales group) together must face the common fact that the real goal of all is not selfish pressure", but national pro gress! I do not go so far as to suggest that every booster of a bloc Is a blockhead. Some pressure-ists no doubt are In spired by honest zeal for nation al weal. I merely forecast that if the American way is to prove ! its superiority in the years to come, we have no time to squan der in Intramural feuding. Cooperation and coalition rest solidly only upon mutual acquaintance. Only understand lng of the other fellow helps you to understand yourself. If our teachers all over in small town, big city, and in-between Circuit Court Judge H. K. Hanna ruled Friday in favor of Ted R. Flury, doing business as Otto's club, who had appealed an Oregon Liquor Control com mission suspension which charg ed that one of the club em ployees had sold liquor to a minor. Judge Hanna found that Flury's employee had made an honest effort to determine the minor's true age, declining to accept as proof a driver's license on which the year of issuance had been obliterated. Among other items of proof offered the employee did accept a birth cer tificate, although, the judge said, the year of birth was later shown to have been altered by "means artful enough to fabri cate documentary evidence." The judge further held that, as a prudent man, the employee of Flury was perhaps most con cerned as to the nature and au thenticity of the document pre sented rather than suspicioning and looking for the alteration of a figure. Concluding his finding, Judge Hanna said it "would perhaps be advisable to notify all li censees of the danger of being deceived by forged or altered documents purporting to evi dence the age of an individual." Tollowing receipt of the find ing, O. H. Bengtson for the ap pellant, said he felt Judge Han na's stand would have wide ef fect on future interpretation of Oregon Liquor Commission rules as to selling to minors. The at torney said he believed that ju veniles and their parents should be given at least a portion of the punishment meted in cases where sellers were deliberately deceived as to the buyer's age, instead of placing the entire bur den upon dispensers, most of whom make an honest effort to obey the law.
