By MALCOLM EPLEY MONTREAL, Quebec, En Kouta (Special Cor respondent) Green New England afford ed us soft scenery reminiscent of western Oregon txv..'- : and Washington as we started r'""V iV'i; home at last from Boston, site ' rf"";' of the BPOE grand lodge meet- mm Our tram, equipment of Maine railroad and the Can adian Pacific, rolled northward through the hills and valleys of New Hampshire and Ver mont and into Canada. It was one of the most pleasant days of the trip from the standpoint JSD EPLET of scenic attractions. The train did local work along' th line, and at each little station we passengers got off for a more intimate view ot the little New England towns. This railroad, it seemed to us, is built in such a way as to take better care of the passengers' observation opportunities than is customary. So much of the time, particularly in the industrial areas of the east and midwest, nothing can be seen from the car vlndow but the walls of deep cuts or tunnels, while in the large cities your train becomes a subway and runs through complete darkness. But on this New England ride, the country side was always in view. And it was truly beautiful wooded hills,, quietly rolling valleys, picturesque villages and farms, all in a cool green, setting most welcome after the muggy heat on the pavements of Washington, New York and Boston. a Bend-Klomoth Yearnings THE Elks really suffered from the heat at Boston.- We sat by Bill Stollmack, of Bend, who is well known to. many Klamath people, at the national, ritualistic contest, and we've never seen anyone look hotter than did Bill. Together, we yearned for the high, dry climate of the Klamath, and Deschutes countries. Even more oppressed than the spectators were , the. ritualistic contestants, for they were under ' the heat of competition aa. well. The esquire of the Appleton, Wise, lodge passed between us and a -window, and we observed two great beads j of . perspiration hanging from his ear lobes like earring. 1 " " ' - ' ' Boston Commons ON hot day and nights like those, many Bostonian find relief from the beat on historic -. Boston Commons, a 50- ere park in the center .of the city. Hundreds of people ait on the park benches or lie under the elms in the grass. ' Walking from our hotel to. the convention place in early mornings we observed many per sons asleep on the grass. Evidently,- they had been there all night. Such use of the park, of course, leaves a lot of rubbish,, and it was littered with newspapers when we passed through in the early mornings. Another distinctive feature of Boston is the peanut vender. On the Commons and all through -the business district, these nut mer chants Sup up business beside little cars. The squirrels in the Commons were well-fed from these supplies while the Elks were In Boston. Old-Timer IN THE (lobby of the Boston Statler we were topped by a stranger who had noticed the name "Klamath Fall" on our lodge badge. He was Morton O. Johnson, who lived 35 years ago at Olene and remembered many old thuers and old-time events of the Klamath country. ..He is exalted ruler of an Elks lodge near Boston. It wasn't like meeting a present-day Klara athite, but it got us to thinking about home. Many Oregonlans, of course, were at the con vention John Blair of Lakeview, Doc Fortune of Marshfield. Bill Stollmack of Bend, Lew Wallace of .Portland, and other well known to Klamathite. Lew Wallace, incidentally, helps keep up the country's potato consumption by umenng spua at least two ways Causes of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning May Be in Home Dr. Masters' Health Column ar DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS In war work, as well as in me nome, chronic carbon-mon-oxide poisoning may be the cause of absenteeism or disabili ty. Everyone is familiar with the effects of acute carbon-monoxide poisoning, which, next to automobile accidents, is the cause of more deaths than any other hazard, but cases of slow, gradual poisoning are less well known... ' , Carbon-monoxide is a light, odorless gas; It tends to replace the oxygen-in the blood, since the hemoglobin has an even greater affinity for carbon-monoxide than it has for oxygen, and .when that replacement climbs up to 28 per cent or 35 per cent, oxygen deprivation is inevitable. The blood vessel be come more permeable, and the poisoning may affect any organ in the body, but is (nost likely t6 settle in those with the great combination the Boston and Nothing pulled back if we lost Orel." Fears in Russia "Supposing," and suspect In any event, at dinner. est blood supply, like the heart and brain. The peripheral ves sels dilate, the bloodstream is slowed, the blood vessels tend to become spongy, and some bleeding may take place, along with swelling. Symptoms Defined Carbon-monoxide is consid ered as chemically non toxic but as (t appears in great er concentration, it produces certain well-defined symptoms. Acute poisoning usually begins with yawning, dopiness and drowsiness in fact, general weariness, accompanied by a tight feeling across the fore head. This state is followed first by frontal headache, later by on at the base and back of the skull. Dizziness and nausea bring on a lassitude, the pulse rate crows more ranlrl anil I. regular, and In advanced stages, Br Dawrrr mckemzie THE meeting in northern Italy between Messrs. Hitler and Mussolini could have brought little solace to the harassed pair, and Indeed may well have savored of a not too fond fare well to partnership in brigandage. DNB, the official German news agency, has indicated that this parley concerned the in vasion of Sicily and the "desperate onslaught" of the Russians on the eastern front. That would seem to be a certainty, and the issues involved are so clear that one can almost hear the conversation. "I need more help, and need it quick," says Mussolini, trying to square his wabbly jaw and play the strong man. "The alternative is a separate peace." "I'm much afraid, Benito," replies the fuehrer, "that I can't provide any additional aid. The damnable bolshevist have precipitated a crisis by their drive on Orel. As a matter of fact . they're on the offensive from the Arctic to the Black sea. You'll have to fight your own battle with what you have." "But Adolf," quavers the soft underbelly of Europe, "the only thing that keeps my people from revolting against me now and making peace with the enemy is their fear of reprisals by you. My troops are in mutiny in Sicily. Without your help I can't stand off disaster. Surely the might ot Germany hasn't lost con trol of the Russian front. Vou can spare me something more." to Spare ' CAN spare you nothing, my friend," replies the ace. "Strictly off the record my armies in the east are in a nasty hole. When we started, our belated drive against Kursk on July 5, I thought we could smash the red lines, envelop their great body of reserves and an nihilate them. With luck I could knock the bolshevists out. That would give me a chance to help you and face, the stupid pigs of Yankees and British who are destroying my resources by bombing.' ' "But the unspeakable communists stopped us. Then they counter-attacked, and the counter attack has developed into a great offensive. Orel may fall at any moment." "But why is Orel so important, fuehrer?" "Stupid! It's one of our pivotal strong points. It's an anchor at a crucial place in our line, and an important railway center as well. My whole front south of Moscow might have to be "CUPPOSING, Adolf," whispers. Musso, as he looks over his shoulder, "the reds should break your line,' and drive you back through Poland.. Supposing the Russian people in the conquered areas, and the Poles, should get out of hand and start to take revenge in blood ' "Stop it, you fat offspring of a bachelor.' screams the all highest. insists il duce, "the Russians should break through and make, a. quick drive into Germany. What sort of terms do you think the axis would get from these reds we've been trying to wipe put?" I couldn't hear the answer to this question that somebody closed the window of the conference room. ' The reply would have been interesting. the nazl chiefs concern about Orel is justified. The reds are-bombarding this strategic fortress with heavy guns from north, east and south. A powerful bolshevist column, has driven 30 miles into the enemy rear and captured the city of Illinskoye. . Thus the' Russians threaten Orel with com plete encirclement, together with the forces of Field Marshal Quenther Von Kluge. There are the makings of disaster in the situation. Today we hear that the Russians have extend ed their offensive southward clear to th Black sea. Hitler's whole right flank is in danger a position of the utmost anxiety to him, in view of the allied threat of invasion up through the Balkans against the area behind this right flank. the results are confusion, as in drunkenness, and finally uncon sciousness. For some time after recovery, the muscles of the legs are weak, and the victim is likely to be giddy. Delayed carbon-monoxide poisoning may produce broncho-pneumonia, blindness, deafness, weakness, paralysis, loss of mental powers, and cer tain vague, peculiar, undefin able symptoms. Eliminate Causes Any detected case of carbon monoxide poisoning should be cared for at once, and its causes, such as imperfect heat ing equipment and gas pipes, eliminated. Fresh air is the prime prerequisite, and if nec essary, artificial respiration may be resorted to. . Long exposures to carbon monoxide, however, so slow up breathing that bxygen-ihhalation may not be sufficient-in which circumstances, a mixture of oxy gen and carbon-dioxide should be used. Rest and general sup portive treatment are the long range measures for those who are fortunate enough to survive carbon-monoxide poisoning.

HEFTY BREAKFAST By CAYNOR MADDOX . It's a long time between get tig up in the morning and the 12 o'clock factory whistle. Only a substantial, well-balanced break fast will carry a man or woman war worker through that period with steady hands and without fatigue. Yet thousands of war workers don't eat enough break fast and the result shows in their ability to "take it." Florence Williams, director of health and recreation for the Na tional YMCA., USO division re ports after a six-month field trip studying the effects of war work on women. "Women are showing visible signs of fatigue. They aren't liv ing right or eating right," she says Government experts, too, are alarmed at the inadequate food of many war workers and the bad effects it has on their morale and production. So many men and women now producing tanks and guns never did hard physical work before. They are still eating their old "white collar" breakfast. What they need is enough nourishing food for breakfast to constitute about one-fourth of their total food requirements for the day. Nutritionists advocate an extra breakfast snack at 10:30 a piece of fruit, candy or a cookie, to keep up the energy until lunch time. Wholegraln cereals, fruit, some fat and jelly, jam or honey or syrup belong to an adequate Sicilian Victory Certain But Slow, Says Eisenhower ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, July 21 UP) General Dwight D. Eisenhower declared emphatically today he was confident of a complete al lied victory in Sicily, but said the task facing British and Ca nadian forces was one of bitter fighting with a generally slow advance.

These whole- grain cereals or flours have first rate food value, are cheap and easy to prepare. Use fruit and cheese spreads on wholewheat toast, griddle cakes or muffins with honey or syrup, and cook several kinds of cereal together as a novel and sustaining breakfast dish for the war worker. Here's a welcome spread for the worker's morning toast. It tastes good and has food value. Apple-Peanut Spread.

I Ait 391S, f oitltirf, Orw or PAUL KERN LEE ABOARD A BRITISH CRUIS ER SHELLING CATANIA, July 18 (Delayd)-(7P) This cruiser took the roof off the Catania railway station this morning with six bulls-eye shots. The target was cleverly select' ed as it was a point whore the highway and the railroad Intor sect, and a route along which the axis must move troops, either south as reinforcements or north in retreat. Intermittent bombardment of such axis key points and batter ies continued throughout the day. Meanwhile, artillery fight ing again was visible ashore as the eighth army pushed Into a zone of Catania, only three miles from the city. Defend Catania The axis evidently was throw ing a large force into the de fense ot the Catania area, as It is the best-defended city between Augusta and Messina. Farther north, the rugged mountain country crowned by Mt. Etna, was considered likely more formidable than any fixed defenses. The conauest of Catanlan air fields should give cover for an advance in that sector. Today I went ashore at Au gusta. Sicily, where I found that the more than 20,000 Inhabitants who deserted the ancient city hurriedly, just before British forces entered, now are clamor ing for permission to return and are begging for food. Cltliens to Return They will be permitted to re turn as soon as the water system is repaired. Augusta presently Is without water. - It was estimated that 2000 persons received free meals yes terday but that 3000 more had to go without food a the stocks simply were insufficient to feed such a multitude. The population apparently fled into the hills in the moments before fleet and assault forces entered the town last week. Left In Hurry In numerous homes half-eaten meals remained on the tables and most household effect and clothing were lft behind. In one deserted harbor picket boat a dinner was cooking on th stove when the British motor gunboat crew boarded It. Only four decrepit, automo biles were found in the town, the other apparently having been used for the evacuation. One strange fact discovered by investigating officer wa the quantity of cocaine and heroin found in many personal kits left behind by Italian officer, and the finding of similar stock In numerou homes. Apparently they were not Intended for first aid or hospital use but for per sonal use, Augusta Described Augusta now Is a strange and picturesque collection of ancient hovels and fine modern fascist built structure set amid flower ing shrubs on a mall of palms and lemon trees. The city provides an extreme ly useful allied port. Many rein forcements of men, tanks, guns and munition were rushed 10 miles northward to the front line through this port. Good naval and shore anti aircraft defenses minimized re peated German attempts to hit at the town and harbor in aerial counterattacks. s AMeMcxje Jo.
