or an osteopath?"
Answer-The condition is known
as Raynaud's Disease. 1t is a we'll
known condition and all doctors
are acquainted with it. l would
advise you to consult a doctor and
not an o%steopath.
D. f. B.: will you please give

there is any diet or mode of living
that will help cure the disease"
Answer-I presume YOU mean
%clrrhosis of the liver. The symp-
toms are swelling of the liver,
dropsy, jaundice, and sometimes
vomiting of blood. The disease is
very serious and seldom RESPONDS
to treatment. The best treatment
IS preventive, which, in nv opin-
ION, IS abstention from alcoholic
beverages.

Ukiah team. Five teams-that's
what you might call putting in q
full season.
Most of his teams had victorious
sweeps, but it was not until 1901
when his famous battle cry Of
"Hurry-up-Hurry-up" arrived at
Michigan that Yost came to instant
fame.
81 still believe those Michigan
teams from 1901 through 1905 were
the greatest five consecutive foot
ball teams any university ever
moved into destructive action. Play
ing through heavy schedules they
won SIS games, tied one and lost
one while scoring around 5000
points.
Yost coached Michigan for Is
years before he took over the direc-
torship of athletes. In those IS
years his teams won 1859 games and
lost but TO- They won or tied for
the Big Ten title eight times, and
during II of those Is years the
Maize and Blue was not in the con-
ference.
What an all-time Michigan team
Yost could have put into the field
from the men he coached. He turned
out 16 All-American nominations
through 1926.
In addition to all this, Yost directed
the construction of six athletic
buildings, including the Michigan
Stadium that seats some $1,000
people.
A Football Life
For over 40 years football has
been Yost's life. He has eaten it,
dreamed it, talked it and lived it.
The last time / saw him we had
lunch together at one O'Clock. At
three o'clock the next morning he
was still showing me what made a
good punter, and how to block. At
the finish I was a battered and q
beaten wreck.
You have to be in ideal condition
to talk with Yost. He hammers

It was in 1895 that a big, shaggy
haired, gawky backwoods teacher
from Fairview saw and played in
his first football game. Hurry-up
Yost had arrived.
Y0st was so keen about football
from the start that no one univer-
sity could offer him enough compe-

West Virginia, Lafayette and the
Allegheny Athletic club. Brink

Lafayette coaches when Y0st was
starring on a team that beat one
of Pennsylvania star elevens by
6 to A.
"Yost wanted to play football all

added. -

NAZIS:
Creatipe Pause


Although fighting continued heav-
lily in North Africa and seemed to
be stepping up on the Iraq front,
Berlin talked of creative pause"
which could be regarded as pre-
cursor of events of great magnitude.
Berlin claimed the turning point of
the war was at hand, and pointed to
diplomatic spearhead attacks in
France and the Near-East as the
type of thing referred to in the
pause
AS Britain caught its breath for
a few days after the terrific bomb
ing of London and other cities, casu-
atty lists were made up showing
that 1892 citizens had been killed
or wounded by bombings since last
June.
Yet the two worst months were
September and October, not March
and April, as most had thought.
There were $4,000 casualties in the
fall months, and only $4,000 in
March and April. This showed a
better defense in shelters, as there
was no question but that the spring
raids had showed much more power
than those in the fall.
In the matter of losses at sea,
there was somewhat of drop dur
ing the month of April, and in early
May, one week showing only a loss
of SO, 900 tons, or at the rate of about
$50, 600 tons month, as against pre-
vious months when the rate hoped
up to around $50, 600.
This was in spite of the fact OF
longer days and better weather for
submarines to operate in. Many be-
,heved the Raj. raids which held
the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau ap-
parently damaged at their docks in
Brest were responsible in great
measure for the fall-of in sinkings.
Reports from North Africa tended
to show the British army of the Nile
picking up somewhat in verve and
apparently in machines, though
some. reports showed the supply OF
tanks to begso low that the British
were arming trucks with cannon
and sending them out into the desert
in lieu of tanks. 4.'
Tanks were moving off American
assembly lines, but how many were
getting to Britain and especially to
the Near-East and North African
fronts remained a mystery.
There were increasing evidences
that the British and Nazis were 60
ing to hook up in a big battle in the
lNear-East, and perhaps this time on
somewhat more even terms. psi
Within day after the Nazi planes
moved into Iraq via Syrian air
dromes, brief death notice in
Berlin paper told Of the loss of a
young pilot named Won Blomberg,
son of the Field Marshal, also for
mer war minister, who was ousted
in 1888 when he married a carpen-
ter's daughter. I'd
It was not said where Won Blom-
berg died, but the British radio said
1t had been determined that he was
one of the first casualties among the
Nazi fliers to enter Iraq.
London did not try to minimize
the importance of the Near-East
flight, and official circles ikened it
in scope to the Battle of the Atlantic,
and stated that the British control
of the Near-East would be thor
oughly defended.
Word came. through. that Nazi in
fantry units were moving into Syria
through the Bosporus, and would be
sent to Iraq, undoubtedly well sup
ported by mechanical forces. e

stalemate in North Africa was a

HESS:
Sinsnseriing

Hailed as one OF the most terrific
news stories Of all time, the Hess
flight to Britain simmered down
somewhat when it became known
that the German claim that he was
flying on a peace mission and had
a Messiah complex was at least
partially confirmed by the British.
However, even those who were
writing the most holly anti-British
articles admitted that Germany's
nose was out Of joint, and limited
that pause in cross-channel activi-
ties might be blamed on the Hess
flight, and one writer said it was
the worst blow the Nazi govern
ment had suffered in its history"
The discovery that Hess had paint
ed toenails and that he was at the
very least an odd fish caused the
British propagandists to moderate
somewhat, and they were treading
softly.
But they were teasing Germany
in every way they could, and the
results were beginning to show; for
Berlin admitted that seven radio lis
teners had been apprehended, and
that one had been executed, and all
of these cases had occurred after
Hess capture and after the BIC
had started 10 Germanilanguage
broadcasts daily on the subject of
Hess.

MEDIATION:
Bigger Stick

American industry, geared up to
its highest pitch in history, and real
izing, whether the public did or not,
that the call for 40 billions of dollars
worth of material was equivalent to
asking industry to work an Ameri-
can miracle, teetered along on the
brink of the cliff of labor troubles,
but without actually falling over.
1t was evident that somebody or
some agency, presumably the de-
tense mediation board, DR.. Dykstra
chieftain, was welding a bigger
stick than the department of labor
conciliators ever did, and was WELD
ing it to some purpose.
Strike threats, not so much
strikes, became the order of the
day. The soft coal strike was halt
ed, then threatened to break out
again, but the mediators were ''on
top" of the trouble and hoped to
quell it. The hard coal miners, 100,-
600 of them, threatened to walk out,
demanding more wages.
Nastiest threat of all was the Cen
eral Motors strike, which had Knud-
sen of OPM up a tree when he called
it the "most dangerous" The c. !. O..
Automobile Workers group wanted
10 per cent pay raise and closed
shop. The strike was set for one
morning, and three hours before it
was due to break a 24-hour truce
was announced, and couple of
hours before it was expired the
strike was settled on basis of the
pay raise but no closed shop.
The Colts strike, tying up $3O,000,-
00C in machine-gun contracts, lasted
only a day. Tanks were moving off
assembly lines, 20-mm cannon for
airplanes were in mass production,
a 3,000-horsepower airplane motor
was said to be 'less than year
away"
In every way it was apparent that
American industry was Catching
the idea' that it was being called
upon for a supreme effort in which
the United States was challenging
the world, and was planning to show
the world that this country, supreme
in machines and machine tools,
could dominate the world in mill
tary affairs. ~
But the public still Gallup-polled
70 per cent against active entry in
the war, and DR.. James B. Conant
Of Harvard said America doesn't
know it's in real emergency" Odd
thing about the poll was that nearly
the same per cent favored about
aid to Britain.

DAKAR:
A Problem

Despite the fact that many papers,
especially those with a non-interven-
zionist tinge, were playing up con-
voys as leading issue, the Vichy
flop to the Nazi standard seemed
to bring far more sensational issues
than conveys to the public notice.
President Roosevelt Immediately,
when he learned that Petain had
pledged France to a more complete
collaboration with Germany, and
that this might take military turn,
warned France that this country did
not consider this as a friendly atti-
tude, and this was followed up by,
the announcement by Pan-American
republics that they would take over
French Guiana and Martinique if
there was any danger of their fall
ing under Nazi control. j,
This attitude was promptly re-
scented by French authorities, and
slight diplomatic interchange fol-
lowed, apparently for the moment
quieting things down, though there
were Swiss reports that Ambassa-
dor Leahy would be recalled.
Then came the sudden news that
the French would give the Nazis the
use of their air and naval bases,
especially at Dakar. And Dakar,
small African port, but of mighty
import to the United States and
Britain, at once leaped into the CEN
ter of the spotlight as the major
problem.
Dakar was the very hop-of place
that President Roosevelt had men,
toned in the early days of the war
as the probable one that Germany
would use if an air invasion of the
New world was attempted.
It was a clear call on the part Of
the President for fuller realization
by the public of the severely of the
present menace to the Western
hemisphere, yet talk of Dakar and
its vital character brought storms
of protest from non-interventionists.
The first effect of the Dakar in
cident was to change vitality the at
titude of some new non-interven-
tionists, including Senator Reynolds
of North Carolina, who had whooped
it up against the lease-lend bill, and
now was being quoted as ''not in
favor of going into Dakar, but prob
ably favoring taking over Mar
Unique and French Guiana"
