At the same time, the EPLEY iwirf. . ira ran-vlno- a terrific volume of passenger traffic, creating a situation in the Jaeger centers that has to be seen to be believed. " f ',' JThe congestion In the big depots In Wash ington, New York and Chicago, and no doubt other large centers which we did not happen to visit, Is almost beyond imagination. But nowhere in our travels did we see greater press of iiimanlty in a railroad station than in thjrTfamillar Union station in Portland. This inly be due in part to the fact this station is mich smaller than the depots in the big east ern and mid western cities, and still is handling ft Comparable volume) of main line passengers. Ttya eastern stations, along with the main liters, also are jammed with the travelers on thW local trains which run into those stations frpm surrounding . suburban communities. If Portland, also had that to contend with, the Union station there 'would simply have to be abandoned. it down in any of these big stations and wfrtch the -faces of people- going by. and you ar impressed with the fact that a large per centage of them register something akin to desperation. There are long line-ups at the ticket windows,, and crowds create a jam in frint of the track gates long before leaving time of the bigger trains. Once the gate are opened, there is a great rush for seats. . ijWho are all of these travelers? Well, there ui lots of service men moving about, either wider orders or on furlough or leave. The general practice of civilian travelers Is to give, thpse boys the breaks; most civilians realize, wa believe, that they are lucky to be per mitted to travel at all. Then there are large numbers of service wives, traveling to distant point.' to-5-be with their men, and many of ihjese are accompanied by one or more small arhjildren. There is a considerable volume of regular business' travel. Finally, there ' seem to be 'a good many people who have a little znbnejj in 'their pocket for the first time In rnanyj years' aiid are using it to make long-talked-about .visits, "back home" or with rela- Tthe War Today ;f. i Br DeWTTT MacKEHZIE it certainly gives one a grateful feeling of 1 1 security to hear Vice-Admiral Frederick Home, (vice-chief of naval operations, say the navy Is-planning for a Pacific war "that will last at least until 1949," but it's equally good to note that he doesn't specificully state he be lieves the conflict necessarily will run that long. ; Six more years might not mean much to a tortoise which has an expectancy of 200 years ot life. But It's an awfully long time to the average citizen who is looking forward to the day when he can take his car out of storage and drive into the countryside for a steak mothered with onions. - (When . James F. Byrnes, director of war mobilization, was asked about the admiral's statement he replied: "If anyone else is planning on that t basis, I do not know that they are." T.i V.- Soong, China's astute foreign minister who is now in Washington, remarked that it's "anybody's guess" how long the fight with Japan , will last and that seems to be a fair assay of the situation. Loncj and Painful ONE thing we're sure of is that whatever the duration of the war, it will be plenty long and painful. ; Its length and bloodshed and pri vations ,will depend mainly on civilian efforts in 'producing sinews of victory. We must neither allow ourselves to grow slack because of over-. confidence,, nor become despondent and there fore inefficient for fear of a long war. Unfortunately the amount of striking power the allies could turn against Japan has been largely dependent on the demands of the Eur Withholding Tax Helps Save to Buy ( By OLIVE CORNETT ' Bond Sale Chairman The wage-earning public is quickly learning that the 20 per cent withholding tax that be came effective on July 1 Is an advantage rather than a burden.

It all counts up to an travel volume. cross-country travel is heavier, we be lieve, in the south and middle of the country than in the north. The stations in Spokane were amazingly quiet and placid.

It all worked perfectly. Nor should we overlook, in this little tribute, the men who run and fire the engines, operate the switches, check our tickets on the trains, and handle all the meticulous details that go into railroading. The railroads are a great institution. a a a a Small world item: Coming west on the North Coast Limited, we encountered Mrs. Isabel Brtxner, county school supervisor, in the diner. She was homeward bound from a BPW meet ing in the east Coming west, also, were a number of east erners who had never been west before, and their remarks and questions about the western country were a matter of great amusement. One New Yorker was on his way to take a government job at Pasco, and his frank ignor ance about , the west kept us constantly answer ing questions. Up in Montana, some one In the car shouted: "A deer!" ' There on the hill beside the tracks was a beautiful big buck. He strolled with regal nonchalance up the slope, looking back at the speeding train, while passengers "ooed and ahed" about him. A few minutes later our New York friend leaned over to us: "That deer back there," he said, "Was it wild?" . "Sure, It was wild." "Who owns him? was the next question, and we explained patiently that no ope owns the deer; in fact, he owns that sweep of beautiful country in the Montana Rockies we could see from the train windows. .Our friend shook his head, and sat back for a long time, no doubt in quiet speculation over the wonders of the west. opean conflict. However, things are looking decidedly brighter in the Pacific as our in dustrial efforts begin to pyramid. It's en couraging though surely nothing to cause com placenceto see the United Nations go on the offensive against the Mikado's forces at the same time as the allies launch their "begin ning of the end" drives in Europe. a a a a Progress AS witness to our progress we have yester day's great allied air raid on Bairoko har bor. New Georgia, when ISO bombers dumped 133 tons of grief on the Japs. This was a com panion piece to last Saturday's huge aerial attack by 192 of our warplanes on Kahlll. Japan's key base in the Solomons, when n(ne enemy ships, including a cruiser and three de sunk. allied aggressiveness covers the whole vast Pacific area. Our warshins acain the Nipponese defenses on KIska tlje Aleutians, in preparation for invasion. The time must be near for the amphibious assault which will return KIska to American bands. That will lessen the Jap threat to Alaska and give us another Important air-base within reach of enemy territory. Almost coincident with the KIska assault, American bombers made the first raid on Japan s northernmost island base Paramushiro, the Kurile chain. We apparent ly were operating trom Amchltka, in the west ern Aleutians, demenstratlng the fact that we can reach out to Jap territory from our own bases. At the same time American Liberators from Australia blasted Celebes. These two raids, each of which represented a round trip of about 2000 miles, are among the longest bombing flights on record. That's something for the Japs to worry about. being saved and will be returned to them. With their confidence restor ed, they are generously buying bonds with their big wages be cause they well realize that this is an investment they may never again have the opportunity to make.

THOMAS D. MASTERS Continued and repeated In jury to any one place on the body often causes serious and painful effects, and may even lead to permanent disability. Scattered about the body at points where friction occurs, there are small, thin-walled sacs with a special lining capable of secreting a watery fluid. These structures serve the purpose of minimizing the friction between surfaces that slide on each other, and render movement easier. while reducing wear on the op posing structures. These bursae (from the Latin word meaning purse or sac) are found between bones and the overlying soft tissue. In the vi cinity of certain joints and where muscles or tendons slide over one another. SUBJECT TO INJURY Bursae are subject to Inlury by direct blows and also by fre quent minor irritations that come from continued overuse. Certain occupations tend to repeated in juries of certain bursae. . Housemaids who have scrub bed floors while on their knees have so often injured the bursae lying in front of the knee-cap, that the condition is generally called "housemaid s knee." Min er strike the tip of the elbow against the stone walls of the mine, injuring the bursa lying just beneath the skin at this polpt and this Injury Is called "miner's elbow." Tennis players or machine op erators develop so-called "tennis elbow" by extending the wrist forcefully, while the hand is re lated inward. This act may harm the bursa lying just below the elbow and over the joint be tween the two bones of the arm. Occasionally, bursae develop in unusual places in response to unusual needs. Such develop on the insldes of the knees of Horse back riders, and are known as rider's bursae." The various locations of these sacs, of course, alter the symptoms that follow' their Injury. In the instance of a fall onthe knee with injury to the bursa, there may be an oversecretion of fluid into the knee. This con dition is noticeable as a saft, fluctuant swelling over the knee cap and it is associated with pain and restriction of any move ment of the knee that would place a strain on the injured bursa. The swelling and pain usually subside in a week or two. Any use that aggravates the pain should be avoided, and warm dressings applied. Abso lute rest is not desirable, be cause it leads to the formation of adhesions across the sac and the usefulness of the bursa is lot. CONDITION NOT SERIOUS This condition is not serious, and if the injury is not repeated, there is rarely any further trou ble. But frequent recurrence, of the same type of irritation may result in continual oversecretion Get On the Roll of Honor The women of Klamath county, led by the Soroptimlst club and the Business and Professional Women, are respon sible for the July War Bond sales, NOWI I ..Every woman In Klamath county Is urged to buy or sell to her neighbor $200 or more In E bonds before July 31.

More frequently, tlio lining of the sacs develops tabs or ad hesions or even bone-like de posits. These may be painful and prevent satisfactory or com fortable use of the adjacent joint. The treatment of these chronic irritations of the bursae is much more difficult than a simple acue injury to the bursa. Com' plete rest and Immobilization, augmented by the application of heat and massage, may be tried, but often it Is necessary for the surgeon to remove the whole bursa.

Jutt got back from the East In time yesterday to run In to a few places and talk . Good. na. it's easy ie shop in Klam ath Fallsl ... In New York shopping is a long, tiresome job, I N one ot th shop on the Grand Concourse under Radio City I found a Mexi can shop full of clever Im ports . . . Much like one of the underground shops ot tho i'lilmer llouso in Chlcugo . . , So you can Imagine how smug I felt when I looked In Gsrce Ion's window yesterday after noon and saw some ot the same Mexican things! Yes, "smug" is the word . . . Because tho more I see away from home, the more satisfied I am with Klamath Fails. Garcelon's doesn't make a big play on the "good neighbor pol Icy In showing these clever hand-made Mexican Import, but th store does have most of the practical, usable items. There are chairs, floor mat to use on the porch or th lawn baskets, table linen, picnic nampers. shopping bags, etc. And attractive decorated oven ware . . . The very same things at Garcelons you will find in exclusive shops selling nothing out Mexican imponsi T HE difference between the drugstores of the West and those In other part of the country amazing ... It looks as if the drugstore In th longer-settled area have remained static slnco the 1890's, and, from tho looks of the pack ages, you get the idea that some of the merchandise is that old, too. In Washington wa had a chance to see quite a few drug stores, because I could feel a slight case ot heat exhaustion coming on and was trying to find some salt tablet . . . (Inci dentally, none wa available be cause of the run on salt tablet before we arrived). In New York, just for fun, I wandered into a few drugstore Because by that time I had begun to wonder if th West were the only place where mod. em drugstores existed ... I'd found only old-fshoned on in Nebraska, too. Well, In New York there are some which have been modern ized, but not many, considering the number ... In Chicago w went into one, to look at th telephone book, and were sur prised to find that the modern exterior covered the same an tique insldes. In the alg cities, anyway, you find only a small stock of cos metics of the more Inexpensive type ... In the same display case with patent medicines or cigarettes ... No nice perfumes like the line carried at Currln's For Drugs. In fact, line like Rublnstaln, Schlaparelll, LaLong, Worth, Tussy, etc., were not to be found In any drugstore I saw in the Middle West or East . . . These are high-class product which either have their own exclusive little shop or separate depart- mepts In the better department stores. And are they hard to findl , . In Naw York you can call up the Buyers' Service and ask where the product can be found And after holding the phone for about 15 minutes, you'll get the information. The cosmetic department at Currln's look like similar de partment In the best big de partment stores, or the cosmetic 'bars ' In the speeialty shops But wltn these differences At Currln's you have a choice ot several high-type brand and aren't high-pressured into buying anything. From the above paragraphs you probably have gotten the impression that I'm more than ever satisfied with Klamath Falls and Currln's . . . Which is right! Qatceicti HOl'PlNQ for clothe In Now York Is a tiresome chore that you can't under stand when you're used to shopping In Klamuth Falls. My sister-in-law wanted a dress to wear on the train . . , One that she could use In Spo kane, too, whore my brother is stationed. Well, the smaller dress shop like tho onos I'm used to in Klamath Falls, wore too expen sive, she said ... Of course, the clothes are beautiful, with hand-nindo this and that, but she didn't want to pay $75 or so for a little summer dress. In the department stores you are lucky If you get waited on in half an hour . . . And you are transferred from one drens department to another, on dif ferent floors. Then you have to take the subway, bus or a taxi to the next store, bocause distance are too great to walk . . . And you still can't find what you want. We wasted hours looking for the type of dress she wanted Ono similar to a dress I d bought at Whytal's before I left . . . And finally, after Id gone on to Boston, Lillian gave up and bought a one-piece that wasn't what she'd had In mind at all . . . Simply because sh had to have a dress and couldn't take any more time shopping. When I dropped in at Why tal's thl morning, I looked round and breathed sigh of relief ... If Lillian could have done her dress shopping there, she would have found a choice of so many kinds that her diffi culty would hav been In try ing to make up her mind which she liked the beat . . . It's mar velous to live In a city this sliet In cities where the population has Increased tremendously flu to war workers, things are bought up so fsst that there is no selection to choose from . . .
