Traveling Through
By MALCOLM EPLEY
BOSTON, Mass. (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.

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

The majority had to scramble for

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

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

THE De Gaulle-Giraud debate is on the way
to being ended. The liberals seem to be get

champion of De Gaulle against Glraud, carries
this: ;
"The New Republic is not De Gaullist

by which we mean pro democratic France. We
are in favor of whatever will most quickly set

This new liberal doctrine comes around coyly,

who even played with the hated Darlan for a
time, "in order to most quickly set France

Control of Air Assures
Maximum Work Efficiency
Dr. Masters' Health Column
Br SR. 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

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

QUESTIONS
BONANZA, Ore. (To the Ed
itor) If a man ot little import
ance writes a cranky, criticizing
article, he is sure to bo bnrntud
and figuratively stumped upon.
I happen to be one of those ot
small importance, to will luivo
to make up my spiel In ques
tions. Paul Mallon, Westbrook
Pcgler, and other Important
writers would put out state
ments. I do not like abuse, so nil that
can happen will be answers to
my questions:
It it not a fact that people of
many countries would not ap
preciate Wallace'! quart of milk
for each day every day?
What about Hoavor't chicken
in every one't pot? Are not
tome too thiftless and lazy to
cii ess and cook the chicken?
Arc they not in the stiino
class as Huckleberry Finn? The
rich lady of culture felt sorry
for him, she took him in, gave
him a bed with clean sheets, lie
was very unhappy and. if I re
member rightly, sneaked out
and slept in the barn.
Would it be possible or ex
pedient to give the world the
same living standards we Amer
icans have?
Are not people of the United
States now complaining be
cause of reduced standards of
living? 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. Perhaps old people
should be sacrificed. Are not
the young ones the ones who
should be saved? Would It be
wrong to do away with the old
people? I suspect, however, 1
would be one who would run If
they started to shoot the old
people.
I have made my way, never
had a cent I did not earn, and
2S per cent of my practice hat
been charity. Have I not been
here long enough anyway?
Let Westbrook Pegler, Taul
Mallon, Malcolm Eplcy or some
critic answer.
