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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
Maybe I m not old enough to have a beau, Father, but

needs a sensible girl to guide him!"
WAR KITCHEN
WAR WORKERS REQUIRE
HOT. 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.

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.
