This column has remarked about Ishl's Influ ence In reviving the ancient art of archery as a sport lor hunting by taking the bow and arrow out of the tourney class and introducing it Into the field of outdoor recrea tion. It waa Ishl who reopened an old, old door to sportsmen of America and we can trace his In. fluence In the present great move ment that la rapidly sweeping the outdoor field of sportsmanship. Ishl was under the almost con stant watchful eye . of science from the moment that the scien tists took him Into their fold, how he reacted toward each new gadg et of civilization waa carefully noted "Ishl waa Jarred completely out of his equanimity," writes Dr. Wa terman, "amazed past speech or movement, by a window shade. On the morning of his second day at the Museum. I found him trying to raise the shade to let the sun light In. It gave me a queer feel ing to realise that never in his ex perience, either In his canyon borne or the Oroville Jail (the firat thirty hours of civilisation be spent s an honored guest at Butte County' penal establishment) had he encountered the common roller hade. He tried to push It to one aide and it would not stay. I showed him how to give It a little jerk and let it run up. The subse quent five minutes he utilized for reflection. When I came back at the end of that time, he waa still trying to figure out where the hade had gone." A stone age man In a modern day civilization waa, confronted by many new and strange things but perhaps the most Important to any man would be the subject of food. Dr. Waterman writes: "Concern ing foods he had certain prejudices which he waa never able to over come. For example he politely asked to'be excused from gravies and sauces. He did not take at all kindly to the notion of boiling food. Pried, baked, roasted, broiled, or raw he could understand. He did not like those processes which lead lo semlllqulds. No milk If you JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON Iffl Sen. Mc Carthy fights like Henry Arm strong, the perpetual motion man who won three world titles in the 1930s with this stock-in-trade: never step back, punch, punch, and forget the fancy footwork. Even the Wisconsin Republican's enemies must concede he is one of the most aggressive politicians of the 30th century. But he has reach ed a point where he may have to change hla style or wind up flat on his political back. It was his style that got him Into trouble. His problem is: Can he change it? . He mado his reputation as a Communist hunter. His record as a lawmaker Is not particularly dis tinguished. He was a comparative unknown, outside Wisconsin, for the first four years after his elec tion to the Senate in 1049. When he hit on the theme of ' Reds-ln-government in 1950, he be gan to alug his way out of oblivion. If he had cooled off alter his first few sensational charges he might have slipped back into obscure status. Instead, he kept his name In the headlines by attack, attack, attack. Armstrong didn't back-pedal when the going got rough. He Just belted the other guy. It was how he be came king of the featherweights, lightweights and welterweights. McCarthy became a national fig. tire the same way. Trying to cor ner him didn't slow him up. He kept moving in, belting sway, throwing charges from all direc tions. As It turned out, he was a lit tie too rough for his own good. The Senate, four years after he had become a senaatlonal figure, de cided it was time to aee whether be needed a dressing down. He himself predicts he will be censured by the Senate, returning today to consider charges that his conduct toward others. Including senators, was contemptuous and unfitting a senator. McCarthy refera to what lies In store for him as "lynching bee." which, all by Itself, might be con aidered contemptuous of the Ben ate alnre It Implies that. But It's typical McCarthy. Here he Is. In the worst Jam of hi Hie, belting at a majority of the Senate even though he knows the verdict of that majority may In the end mean the ruin of hla political life. People Do Read SPOT ADS -you ore!

All such things, he said, lead to colds in the head The real basis of his dislike seemed to be their aesthet ic eilect. I have often wondered since Just how far our eating bat). its may be considered messy. He wanted bis food dry and clean a p. pearlng. For drink he liked only transparent beverages, that could not have anything concealed about them. Tea was his idea of the proper drink." A stone age man thrust Into ci vilization would be confronted by problems like being Introduced to the tools of the dinner table, not only a stone age man has expe rienced this problem but many a present day person has felt the same predicament when visiting a foreign land. Dr. vaterman writes: "At his first dinner he behaved as many another man has done under sim ilar circumstances. He waited pa tiently until someone let him know, by setting the example, whether a given dish was to be consumed with the aid of a spoon a knife, some kind of fork, or with the plain fingers. Then he calmly did likewise. His actions were al ways in perfectly good taste. Even during his first days in civiliza tion, he could be taken comfort ably Into any company. He had a certain fastidiousness which ex tended to all his belongings. His effects were kept carefully in or der. Not only hla apparel, but his arrow-making appliances, his bow and his other Implements were al ways In perfect array. During the time he lived at my home a cer tain member of my family con stantly urged me to model my own behavior in such respects after the Indian's shining example." Science learned much about ab original life from the teaching of Ishl for Ishl taught the men of science the art of survival In the wilderness and so his primitive arts were a revelation to the Ph. D's. Ishl was remarkably clever wiin ms nands. In his own wav he was a fine workman. He made bows of perfect finish. He could chip arrow-points to perfection out of any of the materials that would give a concholdal fracture obsi dian, flint, agate, or bottle class. Some of his handsomest specimens were made out of Bromo-seltzer bottles. No more beautiful arrow- nolnts exist than the one he marti nis nnisnea arrow-point, shaft, and leathering is a model of lexqulslte workmanship. To be censured Is, in a sense, to oe discredited. It Is the same as calling a foul on a fighter. It would mean his fellows thought he didn't meet the standards of what a sen ator should be. Next to throwing him out alto. gether, a vote of censure is the worst verdict the Senate could render against him. Throwing him out doesn't seem In the cards. McCarthy could still vote. If cen sured. He wouldn't lose his seat, at least before the 1951 elections when his second term ends. Another man. cenaured mlirht h so humiliated he'd turn meek for ever, mat's hardly In McCarthy's nature. He's naturally too aggres sive to take a setback as perma- In fact, he could hardlv nffnrH t go back into oblivion again unless he's willing to let his political career end without a further fight. He has no place to go but forward. But how Is he going forward? How is he going to stay in the headlines? By the same tactics that got him Into trouble now? The next time the Senate verdict, with the Democrats in control, might be more drastic. But If his free-swinging stvi i cramped If he has to think of the consequences for himself every time he wants to act or speak in the future - will he be the same McCarthy? it's something he has to think about.

JORDAN, M.D. "I have had to take laxatives every night for years," a corres pondent writes, "and I am des perately uncomfortable a good deal of the time in spite of this. What do you think can be done?" Certainly one of the prime causes of constipation is the abuse of laxatives. A great many people have the idea that if they clean themselvea out once a week with a good atrong purge It will be good for them. If they do, however, the normal rhythm of bowel evacua tion is disturbed and usually not re established for. several days. And the regular or lnadvised use of laxatives tends to set up a bad habit of the bowel so that laxa tives have to be relied on more and more. Improper training and neglect, especially in childhood, have a great deal to do with the condition ip most cases. Much trouble comes from-failure to set aside a regular time of day for a bowel movement. Also many people get Into trouble because they do not yield at once to nature's call which may occur any time of day. True constipation means that fecal matter Is retained in the in testinal tract longer than It should be so that there is excessive delay In discharge of intestinal waste. SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W Christmas trade prospects, with customers believed in a better buying mood man last year, cheer merchants In most cities. Prices on gifts will be about the same or a little lower this year. But many store owners are expect ing to equal and maybe surpass last year's dollar sales volume. Since the largest trading of the year Is crowded Into the final weeks, the results of the holiday selling make or break the year's earnings record for most stores. Promotion plans are well along. The National Retail Dry Goods Assn. reports most member stores plan to match last year's record advertising. The trade Is going In heavily this year for gilt packaging. A largo array ol Items will be decked out In holiday garb to lure the shopper. Some of the packages are designed for double duty made usable as containers ct various sorts after the gift is removed. This year merchants will have the advantage ot one more snoo ping day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some 12 million Americans will receive more than one billion dol- vHERE S00N AT 413 MAIN grade yourself and your paper by son-pedaling on moral issues? How young. Inexperienced or In efficient Mr. Alderson may be do not know, but he has spoken out publicly in the interest? ol decency and honest law enforcements. All that you have told about him in. dicates that he has some concep tion of right principles. That he favors honor and integrity in the administration of public office That he believes law enforcement offlcera should try to enforce the laws. This Is monumentally more than can be said for any other pub lic official your paper has reported on. I hope you won't refer to Mr. Alderson's one man crusade against vice any more. Perhaps he is the only man in Klamath Falls who is against vice II But we live In Klamath County, my husband is a MAN, and he is 100 per cent in favor of what Mr. Alderson is try. ing to do. If women will count add my name to the list. Moreover believe I can enlist at least a dozen others in the fray. Mrs. Roy Thomas Pastor, Church of the Nazarene ' Box 84, . Bonanza, Oregon A great deal of expert, study has been given constipation and the causes are well known. Diet, of course, has a great deal to do with constipation. Too many people gulp their food down with. out allowing enough time for their meals, just as u uiey were the gas tank of a car. Furthermore many of the foods which we eat are so highly refined that they do not contain the bulk necessary to assist in proper movement of the bowels, In some parts of the world and at some times of the year there are not enough fresh fruits and vegetables In the diet. These foods not only supply a large part of the needed bulk but also aid in peristalsis or the wave like move ment of the- intestine which car ries the waste down through the Intestinal tract. Treatment of simple constipation Is usually successful unless the trouble has begun in childhood or has lasted for many years. The un derlying cause, whether it be diet, neglect or abuse of laxatives, first has to be corrected. Appropriate exercise, too, helps to improve per istalsis and strengthens the mus cles of the abdomen which aid in the expulsion of waste matter. The correspondent should get to work to correct the fault of overuse of laxatives and probably bad diet. lars in Christmas club checks this month, for a new record high. Re tailers expect almost half of that sum to be spent for Christmas gifts. And Americans are about as well heeled this year as last. The Com merce Department estimates that. after paying taxes, Americans will have had about 253 billion dollars to spend this year. Some of that should still be available for Christ mas buying. The NRDOA reports three fourths of the merchants expect business to be satisfactory this holiday sea son. The majority say they look tor enough of an increase in trade in the next six weeks to bring sales volume tor 1954 up to last year's total. So far this year, sales have trailed by about 2 per cent. 8ome merchants are rather gloomy about the profit outlook. Rising operating costs have cut into profit margins and more than a third of the merchants expect their net earnings after taxes will be lower than last year.

Statnltut mm MUSTEROLE Hugh Pruett Astronomer,' Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System "Breathes there the man with soul so dead" that he has never marveled at the gorgeous size of tne lull moon as she gently swells out of the sky line along the low eastern mils or plain? The smil ing countenance of old Luna then seems enormous. Her great width often makea a complete luminous Dacking for the tall trees behind which she seems to cling. But do not stop with moonrise. A few hours later gaze again at our neighboring satellite when she has soared high into the blue firm ament. She Is then only a pigmy compared with her horizon size. What has happened? Why has she shrunk so greatly? During the next few days the moon will be at the proper phase ana location xor easy observation of this phenomenon. If clear skies prevail in your locality, do not fall to do some original lunar re search. How large does the full moon look to you? Some say, "Saucer site." Others increase this to e dinner plate, an auto tire or a six-foot balloon. You can easily test this for yourself. With one eye closed hold a dime at arm's length out toward old Luna. You will find the coin lar more than covers the shining orb before you. now noia tne aime, a little to the side so you seem to see moon and coin side by side. The dime seems much the larger. If you will cut from a cardboard a circle of half the diameter of a dime and use as above, you will find it seems to have about the same width as the moon, But you may say, "The disk that matches the moon when high in the sky will lack a great deal of equaling it when on the hori zon." Will it? Try it and you can detect no difference at all. Very delicate angle-measuring - instru ments will show that the high moon seems slightly wider. The apparent hugs moon on the horizon Is then Just an optical 11 luslon. The old explanation is that when seen low in the sky we Judge it to be farther away and since the angle subtended is practically the same as when high, we uncon sciously assume it looks larger. We also have objects along the skyline with which to compare the moon. Dr. Chant, the Canadian as tronomer, says we do not feel that the visible sky Is spherical in shape, but a flattened affair with a point in the zenith only one- third ss far away as one on the horizon, Recently psychologists tell us that the moon looks largest when we view it straight out from our eye sockets. When we turn the eyes upward to see Luna she looks smaller. They say the moon will look largest overhead and small est on the horizon If we view it when flat on our back. Try )t. German Warns Of Red Propaganda STUTTGART, Germany (iB For- mer Nazi Foreign Minister Kon stantin von Neurath, arriving home from Spandau war crimes prison last night, suggested the Soviets might try to gain propaganda value from his release. The four occupation powers pa roled 81-year-old Von Neurath Sat urday on humane grounds because of his age and failing health. Hit ler's first foreign minister and Nazi "protector" of Czechoslovakia he was the first of the major Nazi war criminals convicted at Nuern berg to be freed. He had served eight yeara of a 15-year term. I believe," Von Neurath said In an interview, "my release suited Russian policy." He did not elabor ate but hinted he thought the Rus sians would use It for propaganda i purposes. The Western Allies made over- turea months ago for Von Neuraths release. When the Communists re vived the subject last week, the Americans. French and British quickly agreed. A For Educational Plans It's the EQUITABLE And JOHN HOUSTON 7; m -TV GEORG ELIASBERG, left, head of the national, regional and omr planning center in Israel, visited the local USBR last week. He is shown with Frank S. Stennett, project agricultur ist and irrigation manager for the Klamath project. Expert From Israel VisHs Basin Irrigation Projects An Important visitor to the Klamath Basin last week woS Georg Eliasberg a representative of the Israel agriculture depart ment. While here he conferred with Bureau ot Reclamation offi cials. Born and educated In Germany, Eliasberg's home Is Beth Zera, Emek Hayarden, Israel. He was in Klamath Falls to ob serve the operation of an Inte grated project the combination of human and physical resources as pertains to a development pro gram. In an interview Friday Eliasberg stated: The Israeli government has put a heavy emphasis on the development of agriculture, in spite of the many obstacles that such development faces. Settlement on the land has been one of the important Idealoglcal phases of the Zionist movement, and the land, although large areas ot it have been barren and neg lected for centuries, is one of the few natural resources the country possesses. Water supplies are adequate in the coastal plains and the northern part of the country but elsewhere, especially in the Negev, the rain less desert in the south which com prises about 60 per cent of Israel's territory, heavy capital investment will be required in order to devel op local water sources' and bring in water from the more favored parts of the country. Estimates of the total cultivable land in Israel range from one mil lion to two and a half million acres out of a total ot five million acres. - - - . .- ' During 1951-52 the area actually under cultivation amounted to Th STETSON -Open Road MO to 30 iff -r-""'7 ' 'i 950,000 acres of which only 115,000 acres were irrigated. While Israel's development pro grams include all phases of agri cultural improvement, some of the major plans have to do with water supply. Closely related to this is the establishment of families on the land. These people toeing set tled for the most part, are new arrivals . to . Israel and often have had' little experience in farming. Eliasberg was sent here by his government to study procedures for planning, developing, settling and managing resettlement pro jects and the- budgeting of funds required for resettlement. He has also made' extensive studies of land use, sub-dividing large tracts of land, markets, schools, church es, small industrial cooperatives and sanitary and recreational fa cilities. The Israelian left Saturday for Pullman, Washington, where , he was to Inspect Washington State College. From there he will travel to Utah where he will be shown the Utah Agricultural College, and then return to Washington, D.C.
