MALCOLM EPLEY Munpi$ Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THOSE who are campaigning to remove the dropping hazard at the "A" canal will probably find fencing the stream in town more k practical and more likely of J -NV r. accomplishment than covering Jj, The idea of a concrete cover i ."xf for the canal was promoted at V I1 i ten"111 and without success a iC- 1 number of years ago. It used ." Cf to be worth lot of votes in J! municipal elections. It would V JK I I be a highly costly project, and Jv I I only unless there is a huge mm aM outiay of public money for EPLEY construction jobs of this nature after the war, the cost item for covering is virtually prohibitive. Fencing, while not so sure-fire as a safety factor, could be more easily financed and might prove to be a good post-war project Materials, of course, are not now available. Meanwhile, it is well for everybody to realize that this is an Irrigation country, that it is cris crossed with ditches, and an ever-present drown ing hazard exists. Only last weekend a drown ing occurred in a ditch at Tulelake. It is not feasible or possible to cover or fence all the open streams and ditches in this area. Fencing the main canal in town is about as far as that sort of thing could feasibly go, and there still exists the danger of some playing youngster falling off a bridge into the water. Liquor Store Congestion OUR attention has been called to the con gested situation which develops twice a day at the state liquor store when, under the present procedure, whiskey is placed on the helves for sale. Long lines are formed, sometimes running out into the street and blocking the sidewalk on one side of Fifth. A lot of people waste a lot of time waiting in line for their ration of grog. Now maybe the fellow Who wants to buy liquor deserves no consideration, but there does appear to be something that could be don to Improve the situation. It has been suggested to us, and it sounds like a good idea, that the available liquor be placed on sale every hour, instead of twice a day. That would tend to break up the noon and S o'clock congestion. There might be a tend ency for crowds to develop at the hourly sales, but they would not be of such size as those which now jam the store twice a day. Furthermore, it would spread-out more even ly the work of the liquor store staff, which is now overwhelmed with work twice a day and otherwise has little to do. The rule for the present twice a day sales, we understand, is handed down from headquarters at Portland. Headquarters might give some consideration to the suggested change. o Confounding "City Slickers" TWO good little stories have drifted Into town from county communities where there are liquor store agencies. Klamath Falls buyers, it is reported, frequently show up at these country agencies instead of attempting to buy under the congested and shortage conditions at the state store in the county- seat. The agent in one place, we are told, has de vised a way of displaying only the less desirable brands when the Klamath Falls buyers come in. Local purchasers, however, find a much wider selection. A curtain over the better brands, which can be quickly pulled down, does the trick. In another place, the proprietor of the agency Is always hard to find when the fellows from town show up to raid the stocks. He locks the door and disappears, returning after they have gone away empty-handed. Just another way to confound the "city slickers." SIDE GLANCES AaV Ml MALLON News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 Harold Ickes. the multi-job administration handyman, has sought to soothe all financial doubts about the war debt-ridden future we are coming into by writing a piece for a magazine saying this country is worth 12 trillions of dollars. ($12,000,000,000.- 0)- . .' "We are every one a croesus!" he says (your share would be $88,888). The pros pective federal debt of $200, 000,000,000 to $300,000,000,000 ; (now $145,000,000,000) he con sidered to be offset already by this great wealth. Ickes' article demonstrates that he got his fabulous figure of 12 trillion dollars mainly by having his experts in the various mining branches of his interior department compute the amount of coal, Iron, oil they think is still in the ground. All we have to do to realize it, he suggests, is to maintain "the freedom Americans have enjoyed." By Ickes' calculations, Russia must be the richest nation in the world five or ten times . as rich as the United States. She has many limes more resources of lumber, coal, oil say SO trillions of dollars (I am saying this without any experts, but probably, just as authoritative ly). But we all know Russia is not the richest nation, that, indeed, she always has been poor and one of the backward nations. To her, we appear to be a golden plutocracy. Even the little island of Britain, with practically no nat ural resources, has been obviously much richer than Russia, as every child knows. Ickes has clearly miscalculated what is wealth. Even his 12 trillion dollar figure is not so fabulous as his story, his woefully false propaganda story, that physical resources are riches. What then is wealth? The only worth of ore in the ground is what profit someone can make out of it by digging it up. Unless It is profit able to dig it, and use it, no one will do so. So also with General Motors, and all other factory resources. Their only worth is what profit some one can make out of them by using them. If General Motors cannot sell cars at a profit, its value would drop to practically nothing. A second-hand man would buy it only if he could make a profit out of selling the bricks. If everyone already had more than enough second-hand bricks, its value would be exactly zero, because no one could make a profit out of its use. If taxes are too high for profitable operation, if government regulations are too confusing, if no labor is available, if wage costs are too , high, if, for any reason at all, it becomes un profitable to dig Mr. Ickes' 12 trillion dollars out of the ground, his ores have bo value. ', . 'A Profit Incentive f OOD jobs, good pay for workers, security oi nveunooa tor uiemselves and their fam ilies, all depend upon maintaining the profit in centive. Profits do not alone so to the boss or the owner. They determine the wage rate. They furnish money for expansion and re serves. They are distributed to stockholders who buy the products and thereby create a But most important, they furnish the taxes through which this terrific war riht mtiot h paid and financed. Taxes are levied on net earnings, not gross, without profits, the treas ury would not collect a cent in taxes. But from general wide-spread profits, the treasury tn rautci great sums xrom a lower rate of taxation. Pay Debts With Profits THE debt must be paid from the sweat of our brow. The dollars can only be paid by profits, profits for all, for the working man, for the manager, for the stockholder. Only when all are making money does money pour into the treasury of the United States. You cannot pay the debt with ore in the ground, or with factories, or even with un profitable employment of both work and capital. Mr. Ickes does not know what wealth is. If he had wanted to hand out good propaganda to give the country some assurances for the future, he would have said his administration proposes to create real national wealth In the country by maintaining profits for all. As it stands, his statement is really discourag ing propaganda. It shows he has a miscon ception of what is needed. It suggests he is carrying the debt so lightly in his mind that he does not propose to do the things necessary to pay it off as Mr. Roosevelt has promised it will be paid.

THOMAS D. MASTERS The simple procedure of blow ing the nose can be the cause of infection and serious physical damage, if not done properly. Hay fever, the common cold. and swimming all have a com mon denominator in blowing the nose. This procedure re sorted to so often throughout the year, reaches a peak in frequency in the summer months partic ularly among children and young people who swim and dive, and among hay-fever suf ferers, who are constantly deal ing with a profuse nasal discharge. At the back of the nasal canal, starting in the nose pharynx and extending to the middle ear, are the Eustachian tubes. In adults, these small tubes are usually collapsed, opening only when one swallows or yawns. They are titled obliquely upward whereas in children, the slant Is less, and the tubes shorter and wider and thus more liable to transient infection. The function of the Eustachian tubes is to allow air to enter the middle ear, thereby equalizing pressures on both sides of the eardrums. With Improper, forced blowing, Infections can start in the secretions of the nasal passage, and reaching the ear by way of the Eustachian tubes, do serious damage. SECRETION KILLS BACTERIA Normally, nasal secretions flow backward down the pharynx, impelled by the wav- ing, hairlike cilia on the mem brane lining of the nose. With infection, the flow of secretion and the movement of the cilia tend to cease. Force applied to the nose with the badly wielded handkerchief pushes the secre tion back into the ears or sinuses, with sad effect. After swimming, the mechan ical action of the water within the nose pulls the infected ma terial away from the nose, and washes it of the normal secretion, which Is attempting to kill the bacteria that causes the infec tion besides urging it In the Dl.n ta,'1 WrihtJiel0. 0.ren.bles bomb.nT.nd o52 planes to land safely on rough, soft or sandy terrain at speeds up to 120 miles per hour.

Hay-fever sufferers furth er complicate the nasal action by providing it with constant ir ritation of the passages as the accelerated secretion attempts to drain. Both crowded conditions, pro moting the spread of Infection, and our customary outlook on aesthetics make this functionally correct technique of expelling nasal material not entirely ad visable. The handkerchief may, however, be used properly to catch the secretions of the blown nose, and by doing so, one will prevent not only his own infection, but Infection of others. CORRECT PROCEDURE In blowing the nose correctly, one places the handkerchief or even more hygienically, a soft paper tissue napkin, which can be disposed of at once a little above the bridge or about an inch-and-a-half above the tip of the nose with one of both hands, keeping the nostrils well open at all times, and then blowing. The discharge of secretion Is unobstructed and therefore not forced Into the Eustachian tube or sinuses. This method offers by far the most merciful treat ment of a part of the anatomy that frequently takes consider able maltreatment.

MARSHA tuilropraetla PhjraJelajt tit No. 7th eaufre Theatre BMeV rcfi The War Today Br DeWITT.MaeKENZIE Swift Shots Br DeWITT MacKENZIE A west coast reader has writ ten to reprove me, courteously and in sorrow rather than In anger, for referring to the Japa nese at "barbarians" and "savages." He says (1) that these terms are unsuitable, and (2) that they are unworthy oi this columnist, Having lived among the Japs for 43 years, he has found them cultured, courteous and demo cratic, They will return to de mocracy when they get out from under the military dicta tors who now hold them down. Well, I hasten to admit that It isn't good form to toss op- proortum a 0 o u t loosely. Ob viously, too, 73,000,000 Japa nese can't all be bad. Further, a newt analyst isn't permitted to have any emotions when he is writing. Still Savants I still feel, however, that the vast majority of the Japanese are savages at heart. It's easy enough to teach a savage to use a knife and fork, but that doesn't change his instincts. I have before' me a dispatch from J. Norman Lodge, Associ ated Press wsr correspondent with United States troops on New Georgia Island out in the Pacific. He records a report made by Lieut. Nicholas T. Kllebert about the manner in which Jap soldiers bayoneted helpless wounded Yankee sol diers to death. In one Instance five of the savages (?) propped a wounded man against a tree and took turns bayoneting him. 'They cut one of the poor lads from the top of his head to his feet," says the lieutenant, "meanwhile laughing delirious ly. Then they shot him through the head." Barbarities On March 10, 1942. the Brit ish government indicted Japan for barbarities at Hongkong paralleling those during the sacking, of Nanking In 1037. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told the house of com mons that the Japanese forces occupying Hongkong committed such horrors as the bayoneting of B0 helpless, bound officers and soldiers, and the indiscrim inate raping and murder of Asiatic and European women. Of course, one instance of that sort, or 10, shouldn't con demn an entire nation. But that's tha pattern ot the whole Nipponese fabric. It may be said that the Jap soldiers are There's lens than 30 seconds worth of .30-callber Remington ammunition In this picture, for the air-cooled machine gun held by Jean Foster can fire 1400 rounds a minute. merely carrying out orders, for the purpose of terrifying enemy people. That's not good enough, however, for no civilized sol dier would execute an order of that sort. , One of tho outstanding char acteristics of the savago Is tlml he strikes by stealth. The Japs struck at Pearl Harbor while two of their emissaries talked peace In Washington, From Emperor Hlrolilto. who places his seal of approval on such acts, down to the soldier who rapes the woman and then bayonets her, tha Jupanese have savago instincts, despite their veneer of civilization. I'm one of thoso who believe that hu man nature can be changed. On that basis the nature of the Nip ponese can be changed In the course of generations. Recognise People Meantime It's vital that we recognize what sort of people we are up against. We have a bitter Job to do. and that is to render them so utterly Impotent in the military sense that they won't in a hundred years be able to arm themselves again to commit aggression. And when this war Is over we shall have fought in vain if such criminals as Hirohlto and To Jo and Hitler and Mussolini ind their captains aren't brought to book for their sins. We said this during the last war, too. There was a lot of talk about punishment of war guilt hanging the kaiser, and that sort of thing but in the end nobody had tha guts to do anything about it.

There were a few parties of people In the purk when we ar rived. There must have been a great deal more during the day, because the few we saw couldn't have created tho terribly dirty mess that rcniulnocl after the gates closed at 8 p. m. I am not a crab but I do ap preciate cleanliness and beauty and I couldn't help but feel re pulsion for people so lacking In decency. There were great stacks of paper plates, and nap kins, and great chunks of half eaten watermelon and rinds scat, tered over a greater part of (Tk lawn.
