I 1 "Tit, 1 'V Tlicre arc a good many people who over the years have told us that they really have a good rec ipe tor cooking porcupine in such a manner as to make It not only edible but palatable. This we have always doubted, coming from a long line of doubt ers and having tried various meth ods of cooking the beasts our selves. But If they really do have an idea then 3rnie Kolbe, who used to be a Klomath Falls resident himself, Is the man to contact. In the continuing war to eradl cate the ever-growing menace of the porky in our Western woods Ernie, who Is chief forester lor the Western Pine Association, suggests that if some method of cooking the creatures can be found that will appeal, both workwise and from a gustatory standpoint, to the hunter then maybe the Nim rods will waste a shell on the crit ters ond will decrease their ever Increasing number. Sorry, Ernie, but at the mo ment we can't help you a bit. We've tried everything from a pressure cooker to rolling 'ein in the ashes and the result Is always the same something that tastes like a spoiled groundhog smells. But I'll gladly cooperate with you In your efforts. If any of the local people have a tried and true recipe, cithzr one that can be done in the woods or at home, bring It In and we'll print it up and send it along to Ernie. When we read stories of things to come the writers leave us with - the Impression as if these wonder ful developments were on the verge of happening. Perhaps some are almost ready to hatch for we have no way of measuring the stage of advancement the subject haa made out of its embryonic thought that has developed in the realm of pure science. Scientists and technologists have been criti cized for taking the point of view that the development is lust ahead of us and at any moment It will . Erplng Into actual, being. As a mat ter of fact, many ideas will re quire time for the thought to de velop Into a tangible product In workable form as an artifact of modern civilization. Here Is where the young people of this and com Ing generations will find their rich est, most rewarding opportunities lor mere are many new fields of achievement to conquer. Perhaps the picture can be clari fied somewhat if we take a specific example of a single development and consider Its growth from an Idea Into practical application. We might consider a very common present day product, "anti-knock" gasoline. The development of this new product tremendously enlarged the available supply of gasoline and increased the power that we can get from the old untreated product. The basic facts were well known long before they were ap plied to the problem of fuel for internal combustion engines. The facta were known to those who carried on the fundamental studies of flames and of burning gases which had been made many years before, and which had produced the theory of the Carnot cycle and the Clausslus-Clapeyron mathema tical equations that had been used to solve many earlier thermody namic problems. So to start we must go back In lime to Sndl Nicolas Lconhard Carnot noted French physicist and a publication he made in Paris m lain. Carnot was one ot the most original and profound thinkers who nave ever aevoted themselves to acicnce, his publication 0f some of his work in 1824 conlnlned but fragment of his scientific dlscov- rnrs. but was sufficient to put him in the foremost rank of the ment scientific minds of all time, how. ever, the lull value ot Carnot's work was not recounlird at the lime he lived. He died nf rhir. during the great plasue ot 1833 ana u was not until 1849. his real contribution to science was rea hied and Its dl.scovery made known to inr worm oy i.ord Kelvin. The papers of Carnot show that he had not only realized tor himself the true nature oi next, but had noted down tor trial many of the methods uwl today for findings Its me. chanlcsl equivalent, such as those .

Dick Eimars, the Associated Press bureau chief In Portland was lr. the office the other day tell ing us about a picture that had been transmitted on the national telephoto service acme time ago. Came out of the Midwest some where and showed a beautiful flight of snow geese ro the pic lure caption said. On closer examination someone from Klamath Falls, Dick didn't remember his name, sent the pic ture bBCk to the AP brass with the correction that it was a flock of pelicans, and not snow geese. Olad we didn't let It slip through here by mistake. experiment with a current of gas forced through a porous plug is also given, "Carnot's principle" Is fundamental in the theory of thermodynamics. It Is noted that this fundamental idea came into the scientific mind more than half century before the invention of the Internal combustion engine by Dr. ti. A. otto in 1870. We might next turn the pages of mstory over to Rudoll Julius Em manuel Clausslus the German phys icist who followed In the footsteps ot Carnot and who presented his theory to the Berlin Academy in 1830, The work or Clausslus, who was a mathematical rather than an experimental physicist, was concerned with many of the most abstruse problems of molecular physics. By his restatement of "Carnot's principle" he nut the theory of heat on a truer and sounder basis, and deserves the credit of having made thermody namics a science. These basic researches pointed the way to higher pressures in In ternal combustion engines by show ing that raising the pressure of the exploding gas mixture enhanced the efficiency of the engine. This information was in the realm of pure science and readily available to anyone. But everyone who tried to do something with these facts found, to his disappointment, that he could not raise the pressure In an engine Indefinitely without loosing. instead of gaining, efficiency. Above a certain point more pres sure gave less power, Instead of more, as tneory declared It should. It was discovered that this critical point on the pressure scale was not the same for all fuels in the same engine and It even varied when a single fuel was used in different engines. Using different fuels In a single engine and changing the charac teristics of the engine seem logical ways io team uie tacts; but it is not easy to keep changing engine designs indefinitely In order to se lect the best one. The search must be systematized and planned. tne systematic process of re search, like this one. has been analyzed in great detail bv many Individuals. Killeffer's book "The Oenlus of Industrial R 119481 goes Into much detail on tins subject. We learn that basic to all researches Is the need at each step to subdivide the prob lem auo io siate or restate It In such terms that each part can be solved.

This is not the Halloween col umn that I first wrote. It was exciting but contained some ques tionable suggestions to youngsters vho haven't thought of all of the tricks; not by a long shot. Still there was no viciousness or vandalism In the old Hallow eens. There was Ingenuity and hu mor. Even the butts of the Jokes got a laugh out of them and sel dom did any outright damage to property result. And there was one day of Hal loween period. It was the last day in October. It didn't start with the first fall of leaves and continue nightly. However there did develop wiy back there one added feature to the celebration Gate Might. It was the night before Halloween, and it did not come into existence with cooperation of householders. Almost everybody had a fence around his property in those days, some of them colorful and elabor ate, and they usually had swing ing gutes. The specific challenge of Gate Night was to snitch a gate, take it way oil somewhere and hide it. The banker's gate might turn up days later swinging on the fence of a street cleaner In a re mote part of town. It was a task, not without its fun and perplexities, to wander around the city afoot or on a bi cycle, looking for your gale. But I never remember a gate disap pearing permanently, or being damaged. Often, after futile search, a gate would be returned during the night to us rigntiui owner, by the boys who had taken It. They had had their fun and wanted no one to suffer. It isn't always like that nowa days. Through parental indiffer- ence some kids have come to think that Halloween calls for destruc tion, damage and permanent in convenience to somebody. The result is a hatred and fear BRUCE Were it not for the political smoke generated over the Issue, only the historians would be ui terested now In how General Mac Arthur felt about Russia's entry into the Pacific War. The controversy stems from the publication last March of the rec ord of the famed Yalta confer ence. This move followed pres sure from some Republicans who believed the record would support their charges that President Roos evelt "sold out" to Russia by granting concessions. Tne Yalta record Indicated top U.S. military leaders considered Russia's entry Into the Pacific war vital, and felt the West should pay a suit price, If necessary. But, In commenting specifically on that aspect of Yalta. Democrat ic Senator Lehman of New York declared that MncArthur "strong ly tavored and urgently recom mended that Soviet Russia be in volved in the war against Japan." Lehman . clearly implied Mac Arthur was among the mililarv men consulted in formulating Yal ta policy. The general tlatlv de nied this. He said If asked he would have emphatically urged against bringing Russia In at "that late d(e." and added it would have seemed "fantastic" to him to lure the Russians In with con cessions. There followed a demand for re lease ol documents bearing direct ly on MacArthur'a position. The Defense Department's recent 35.-OPO-word report was In response. The report shows that on De cember 10. 1941. three days alter Pearl Harbor, MacArthur urged Russia's entrv into the Japanese war. From then until after the Yalta meeting, which ran from February 4 to February 12. 1945.

This is too bad. It has taken the fun out of a jolly night. - There was a- time when the householder who didn't have a harmless trick played on him on Halloween folt that he was slight ed a nobody in the neighbor hood. Parents have brought it on them selves. Too often their kids be-. come nuisances for weeks In Oc tober; met by frowns and harsh words, even threats; rather than laufrhs, kindly chiding as scamps more welcomed than avoided. There Is a phase of the Hallow een freedom which parents have condoned in their children that can sow the seeds of delinquency. A youngster knows when his so- called "pranks" cross the hne into vandalism and break the law. With many it could be the first step in beating the cops to the punch getting away with it. At first "getling away with it is sort of a game that tests the wiis of resourceful children. The kick they get out of it grnws on them. Just like at home. tep by step, and unhaltered child will take ad vantage after advantage until the parent has lost control of him ana has a headstrong, vengeiul brat tc deal with. Later, authority Is first resented, then challenged and you have a delinquent. So it Is with Hplloween. It Is up to parents to know something about the cOmpnnions, the tenden cies and the whereabouts of 1'ieir children on the once happy night that has become a madhouse in lots of neighborhoods: a nuisance to the authorities, a dreaded sea son that now Is almost a month long. It is the same old story: thought less, neglectful, don't-glve-a-damn parents who grow nuisances. For the parented kiddles: A happy, harmless Halloween to you I BIOSSAT he Is not on record as reiterating this view. Nor is there any conclusive evi dence he was consulted in prep aration tor the Valla conference. Thus the Implication by Lehman that MacArthur's view was a fac tor at Yalta is not borne out bv the record. But If the record does not sup port Lehman, neither does it whol ly Dack up MacArthur, who said if asked he would have urged against Russia's entry. On February 13, 1946. the day after Yaita ended, Col. Paul Free man of the War Department, re porting to Chief of Staff General Marshall the substance of a long conversation with MacArthur, said the general expected Russia to seize territory In northern Asia. On February 25, General Lincoln cabled Marthall that "MacArthur considers It essential that maxi mum number of Jap divisions be engaged and pinned down on Asi atic mainland before U.S. forces strike Japan proper." On March 8. Lincoln, back in Washington, further reported that MacAithur had said the nation should "make every effort" to get Russia Into the Paclllc fighting. On June 18. MacArthur cabled Marshall saying U.S risk and loss in 'nvading Japan would be much less If an attack from Siberia i Russian solh would be launched well ahead of our own target date. MacArthur now states he viewed the Yalta decisions as binding once they had been taken and transmitted to him. This Is possible. But it ii not clear whether Freeman's Febru ary 13 report reflected conversa tion before, during or Just alter Yalta.

Under the present law. VA regulations direct that failure to report such income re sulting in overpayments must be subject to recovery. Where VA is notified promptly, pension payments will be discon tinued elfective the daie of the last payment. However, where the veteran or widow fails to notify the VA promptly, discontinuance will be retroactive to January 1 1 of the calendar year in which the excessive income was received. and steps will be taken to recover tne entire overpaymen. In the event the income question naire of the succeeding yea1 shows the anlicipatcd Income for the cur rent year to be less than the statuaiory limit, anv pension pay ments then due will he withheld until the entire overpayment for the prior calendar year is liqui dated.

Would there be any way for VA to deduct enough money out of my compensation to take care of my insurance premiums, so that I wouldn't have to bother with them every month: A Yes. So long as your disabili ty compensation checks are large enough to cover your GI insur ance premiums, you may apply to VA to have the premiums tak en out of your compensation.

THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D To me, at least, the diagnosis of en unusual condition is the mosv interesting part of medicine and one such problem is Drought up in today s first letter. Q Off and on for some two or three years, my knees tsome liir.es only onei will become slight ly puffed and heavy. I have tnought I could trace this to eat ing such things as ice cream, milk shakes, or chocolate candy with rich cream fillings. Does this sound plausible? f Mrs. L. M A I can only guess at the nature of this condition but it does buggcsi the possibility ol a rare and peculiar conaition ot tne joints known as intermittent hydrarthros. is. The striking feature of this condition is that it comes and goes periodically and has a tendency lo effect the knee joint. This com- n" and going is usually rather regular, lasting four or five days and disappearing for 10 or 11. its cause cannot often be definitely determined though frequently sus picion is thrown on some allergic condition and it is sometimes ns- sociated with hives. Of course there are otner possibilities in Mrs. M.'s case but it would also be Interesting for her lo eliminate all foods containing chocolate to see what would happen to the trouble with her knees if she does so. Q I am 59 years old and all of a sudden developed a terrific pain In my chest. The doctors said it was hardening ot the arteries, but did not tell me anything else. Mrs. A. C. A A sudden oaln such as described makes one think of Diffi culty with the coronary arteties supplying the heart muscle, mere is. however, insufficient mtorma- tion in the letter to be sure and all one can say is that Mrs. C. should make every efiort to have a diagnosis reached so that she will know how this should be han dled. Q My 16-year-old daughter gets dizzy spells and Is unable to remember things that happen dur ing the day such as conversations, classroom events, and the like. Is it something to be concerned about? Mrs. S. A Assuming that the 16-year- old girl Is not just holding back from her mother on purpose, one would say that this is a fairly se rious sign and that she should be taken to a nerve specialist or psy chiatrist. O Is It true that aspirin If taken directly before or after drinking beer or soda pop is ta- tal? rteaaer. A Not ordinarily. There are some who become poisoned oy as pirin and If one needs this drug for a headache or something else. It would doubtless be better to take It Instead of beer or soda pop. rather than before or after tnese beverages. Q Should a person taking any form of medication be allowed to drink alcohol? I was always un der the impression alcohol de stroyed the potency of drugs. Reader. A The answer depends on the kind of drug and what it is taken for.

Q Would tyou please explain why skin tests are somelimes pos itive when x-rays ot tne lungs ao not show signs of tuberculosis? Mrs. B. A. A Ordinarily the skin tests for tuberculosis are positive when the person tested has been exposed to the germ causing tuberculosis and has had them in the system. Most people conquer these germs in small quantities but still develop the positive skin test. If the germs have pot caused much of an in flammation in the lungs where ihey most commonly go i the chest X-ray may show no signs of the tuberculosis infection even though skin tests has turned from nega tive to positive.
