(Special Correspondence) The day this Is written was quite a day lor Oregon so far as the Elks grand lodge con- m . i - s venuon nere The home state took the limelight in the election of Frank Lonergan, Portland, as grand exalted ruler of the Elks. He was chosen without opposition after Robert Far- -it if - v rell, Oregon's " Ktoto nlnred his ination. It was the first time In the history of the Elks that the post of grand exalted ruler, EPLEY one of the major fraternal honors in the nation, has gone to an Oregon man. Lonergan, ex-speaker of the state house of representatives, is well known iii Oregon poli tical circles. An Irishman who "gives" when he makes a public speech, he really went to town in two addresses after his election today, and his fiery oratory was the talk of the conven tion tonight. He summoned the Elks to put the full power of the order's 860,000-man strength behind the war effort. With careful wording, he denounced work stoppage or any other in terruption of the flow of supplies and weapons to the fighting forces. Farrell gave Lonergan a laudatory nomina tion speech, and Judge Fred Wilson of The Dalles, remembered in Klamath as the presiding ' judge in the Manning-Horan murder case trial, seconded the nomination in his best oratorical form. ' As we have said. It was quite a day for the old home state. Word for the Boys MUCH of the Elks business In the conven tion has had to do with entertainment of service men in fraternal centers, maintained wherever armed forces are concentrated. This brings up a subject we've been mean . tag to discuss here. We've been much impressed throughout this . trip with the things that are done in various communities for service men, particularly at depots. North Platte, Nebraska, a place where the . trains stop for IS minutes or so, operates a canteen in the depot, where local girls and women serve coffee and doughnuts or cool drinks, free of charge, to all men in uniform. The service men really make a rush for the place, and that food and drink Is mighty wel come on the long, hot trip across the plains. I r It occurred to us that if Klamath wanted to do something more for service men, a canteen at our depot would be a worthy project. Trains usually make long stops at Klamath and the depot platform is often thronged with hungry men. A canteen there would be a friendly, service and it would give the community favor able publicity with the traveling public. We did a lot for troops passing through by motor convoy. That means of travel is not . used so much anymore, but large numbers of service men pass through on the trains. People generally feel that what they do for a service man, even though he is a stranger, will probably be repaid by some friendly act somewhere to a boy they know., It's a swell cause. a Making Hay BOSTON taxicabs are really making hay while the sun shines at this convention. Most of us haven't learned a thing about this town's crooked streets or its public transporta tion system. If we want to get anywhere, the taxi Is our only hope. The convention headquarters is at the Statler We're staying at the Parker House. Though, presumably, the distance between them is al ways the same, taxi fares are never the same. We've paid 38 cents one way, and 85 cents the other. We haven't figured out the reason, though we've seen a few more twisting streets on the 55-cent trip. Gas rationing, which has nearly eliminated private cars here on the east coast, has boosted the taxicab business and the cabs seem to get Home From the Wars . . . ' The homecoming from the last war wasn't so good for most of us. Some had their old jobs open, but in mnaf rnsnm fnttnA tl... , - wuuu uiai amy at-homes had taken the promo- ounnc me war months. The majority had to scramble for a living, . The shipyards were closed in the spring of 1919. So were all other strictly war industries. In Oregon and Washington the saw mills kept booming along. Lum berlng was one industry where men who'd been In uniform were actually given preference in em ployment. In my own experi ence I found a hearty welcome only from the bulls of the woods. Thats why I went back to the Woods and stayed with timber until I learned to work with words. For all the men of the 41st division, our heroes in New Guinea, may know, they are also due to become forgotten men when they come home from the wars.

If this neglect goes on, the veteran of this war, like the veteran of World war I, will get what can only be called a dirty deal. And again the one prospect of good promise for the average fighting man from Washington and Oregon is work in the woods. All authorities agree that there will be a nation-wide home build ing boom after the war, as there was in the 1920's. If so, the camps and mills will keep going full blast.

General opinion seems to be that Boston baked beans News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, July 19 Hardly a news- edition has gone to press within days without containing an an nouncement by someone de nouncing or belittling the recent congressional session, Some charge nothing was done, others say the legislature was fascistic. But when you look for the sources of these statements, you find they come largely from the envi rons of the White House and the CIO. Obviously, Mr. Roosevelt did not like the session, which did not go his way, and the CIO apparently be lieves, or is trying to make everyone else be lieve, the anti-strike wartime emergency meas ure was the doom of democracy. A straight non-political glance at the record of the congress would not develop any such clear-cut conclusions.. It trimmed the Roosevelt budget $1,100,000,000, which is something, but hardly enough to establish a record of out standing economy. It abolished the national youth administra tion, ,and made a start toward eliminating un needed bureaus, but only a' start. It did not interfere with the military in any way, furnished all service funds asked, con excellent, constructive investiga tions (Truman, Byrd, Kilgore committees), which brought improvements in the war effort. It failed to do anything constructive about prices, passed a pay-as-you-go tax plan on its own initiative. It had the courage to adopt the anti-strike bill over a veto, when no one else would assume the responsibility for stopping war-time strikes, neither the labor union chiefs nor the president. Greatest congressional contribution, however, was none of these steps, but the constructive pressure- exerted upon the president which caused the several reorganizations of his poorly functioning bureaus institution of the Byrnes mobilizatiqn, creation of the food administra of Leon Henderson In OPA, now recognizes these actions were good, although perhaps not good enoush. So the question of whether or not congress was satisfactory really gets down to the ques you liked the anti-strike bill and the president and union leaders did not Congressional Fortitude A READER has written to me asking what the homefolks should tell their- mnirui. the legislators are back home looKlng for fresh' advice from their people.

Rooseveitian French Policy THE De Gaulle-Giraud debate is on the way to being ended. The liberals seem to be get ting off the General De Gaulle fence, the cur rent issue of "The New Republic," always a champion of De Gaulle against Glraud, carries this: ; "The New Republic is not De Gaullist organ. Neither Is it Giraudist. It Is pro France, by which we mean pro democratic France. We are in favor of whatever will most quickly set France free," etc. This new liberal doctrine comes around coyly, and at long last, to the policy of Mr. Roosevelt, who even played with the hated Darlan for a time, "in order to most quickly set France free." try, even tn aitrh lavs ged one as lumber.

THOMAS D. MASTERS Although the . weather itself cannot be controlled, much can be done toward maintaining a healthful atmosphere inside homes and factories and offices. It Is especially important that the air and temperature, in which persons are working at least eight hours every day. be kept as nearly perfect as pos sible. , Constancy of body tempera ture is essential to health. In aa environment subject to ex tensive change, the body must perpetually balance its heat-pro- aucuon witn Its heat-loss, in order to keep the body tempera ture confined within sarrow lim its. HEAT DERIVATION Heat Is derived from the com bustion of food, drink and from the air consumed, as the result of oxidation of tissue. Physical activity increases the heat pro duction many times. Heat Is dissipated chiefly through the lungs and skin. The loss of heat ' depends upon physical properties such as radiation, con vection (the transfer of heat by air currents;, conduction (the ARMY TO THE RESCUE FRANKLIN, Ind..

With three chaira In operation, the customers were served with dispatch. where they are. what they did In peacetime, who their families are, and so on. Obviously this is a in o. l job in any practicable program of post-war planning in any town. You can see the rea son for it by asking yourself two questions: "Who are the men from mv town in the armed services? How much do I know about them?" The answers will mean a lot af ter victory. The gathering of detailed In formation on local conditions in relation to post-war business and employment is next in order. Meeting once a week, the com mittee will have plenty to dis cuss and do. Once a month the citizens will be called to a town meeting to hear facts and present ideas. An Important objective Is the building of a real town hall, to serve the soldiers and sailors as they return after the war. Sounds simple, doesn't it, after all the grandiose stuff on post war planning you've heard? To me it sounds good. I sure would have appreciated a town hall to have gone to for information and aid on what to do about a job in 1919. Praise the Lord for Ver mont!

When the moisture content In tha alt- la high, evaporation is retarded. And If comfqrt is to be main tained more heat must be lost by convection. This effect may De accomplished by the electric fan, which increases the rate of air currents in the room. - In order to be comfortable ah3 keep maximum working effic iency, the rate of heat-loss from the body must equal that being generated. Air-conditioning en gineers speak of "effective tem perature," by which they refer to three properties of the air temperature, the amount of moisture it contains, and the rate of its movement. The ideal "effective temperature" is not just the temperature of the air, but various combinations of temperature, humidity and movement, which have the sarrui relative effect. CONTROL OF AIR Comfort Is an individual mat ter, and varies slightly with dlf ferent people, but on an aver age, with moderate humidity and air movement, comfort is maxi mal at 70 degrees F. In the winter and 76 degrees F- in the summer. The difference between seasons Is probably due to ac climatization, ana a variation of a few degrees above and below the averaee fisure mav ru-r,,r without obvious loss of comfort. The effective control of these properties of air, in addition to DUrifyine it ef nnxlnna cu dust, pollens and other particu late matter, and disinfecting it, are problems for post-war en- eineerlne and lnrluitrv. n of the influence total air-control will have on comfort, efficiency and health, these problems will loom large. ssx55BBtsaaBaaEaaa3E3SBjBaBBaaasaf 13 Years Of Negatives On Rlel Since 1930 Kennell-Ellis Hos Kept All Negatives On File Vor Your Convenience Come In . . .

What will they do after the war when there will be stark starvation confronting the world? Will they sacrifice or let people of Europe and China starve? We will hope not. I will make one statement, however, I think as Hoover ad vocates. We thould sacrifice and keep the starving world. I am beyond 63 and have enjoyed the world, but It docs not mat ter now.
