that the vacation period be reduced

would agree to this only on condi-

The operators agreed. As the

RUBBER FROM ALCOHOL

"A recent release from the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana makes
an effective denial of the rl1nor that
the oil industry is seeking to block
production of artificial rubber from
alcohol made from farm crops, in
order to create rubber monopoly
for itself.
It is likely, the release points out,
that rubber can be made from oil
more cheaply than from alcohol. But
today rubber is urgently needed no
matter what the most of p reduction.
Present indications are that all the
rubber to he made from oil will he
required for military purposes. Thus,
if civilian cars are to be kept run
ming, it will be necessary to produce
additional rubber from alcohol.
The very existence of the oil in
dustry depends largely upon auto
mobile transportation. The Oil in
dustry is in business to sell oil, not
rubber. It's commercial interest in
rubber is confined to the fact that
cars must he kept rolling if an ade-
quate market for oil is to be main
tanned. 1t is only logical for the oil
in general, to favor rub
Der production from any and every
practicable source.

I'M TILE NAME OF DEcENCY"

In connection with the record
breaking $42, 1920, 100000 army sup
ply bill, Senator Charles L. McNary
of Oregon took stand that should
receive public commentator. He
asked for time to consider the bill,
Fin the name of decency and some
concern for expenditure of public
funds" He said, II always try to be
fair and reasonable. But here is a
bill calling for an appropriation of
nearly $43 900 00O, 900 with a 92-page
report and a record Of four days
hearings" 2 90. .,.-:s
The Senator objected to being re-
quired to pass on such an import
ant measure on virtually an hours
notice. 81 don't question the amount.
I am interested in a display of judg-
rnent. This is just pushing members
of the Senate around. We ought to
have at least one day to consider
this bill-a sum bigger than the cost
of the last war, a sum which a few
months ago was considered by many
as bigger than a safe limit on the
public debt"
Senator McNary is to he COM
mend-for asking "a display Of calm
ness and Judgment" instead of
blindly waving the flag to loak un-
necessary, hasty action on matters
so vital to the nation. With the pub
lie debt estimated at 100 billion dol
lars in 1913, his action may en-
courage closer: scrutiny of future
appropriation measures.

almost anything and whats a little
heat wave in our complicated exist
ence. We take cold waves in the
winter with just the same fortitude
and do just as much talking about
them as we do the high tempera-
lures in summer. We like our SUI
perlatives and so each wave is a
little bit hotter or colder than the
one last year. Where We are weak in
the summer is by foolishly jumping
into unknown swimming holes,
drinking water that isn't tested, get
ting an unhealthy dose of sunburn,
not using caution on highways, all
apt to make us remember the season
more than he heat. Surely we need
a vacation, but not this kind of one.

HEAVY EATING,

HEAVY EATING
These are the months that are
supposed to he the most dangerous
in the entire year, to the man who
Grams his stomach to capacity, with
all of the tempting things that are
so easily and inexpensively attain
able to fill his dinner table. Ask a
doctor in Kennewick and he will tell
you that July and August are two
months when thousands of people
bear down heavier on the shovel they
are using to dig their graves-the
knife and fork. He will advance the
same sort of advice that we hand
out, to eat a bit less heavily during
hot days, not get too much sun, not
chill the stomach with too much ice
water. OF course it is hard to watch
our diet when we are in the very
midst of the season there is for food.
But the fellow who does is apt to
outliVe the other who doesn't.

THEY KEEP GOING

We spend lots of talking and writ
ing in praise of labor and industry in
their method of working for the
interest of the country during war
time. OF course that is what they
should do, earn praise for. themselves
by carrying on and not standing in
the way of any branch to let it carry
on its assigned task. There was and
still Is, trouble with labor striking
and industry suffering a hitch in
production. There was more trouble
expected than transpired, thank
heavens! We have eulogized in the
work of the railroads in transporta-
ton and bus companies, of our fac
toriO turning out in mass quantity,
of the laIborer buckling down and do
ing his job. But say, what about
throwing big bouquet at the farm
er who tolls at his chores, kept busy
with his cows and chickens, wheat
and corn, fruit and berries. He
goes his way, usually unsung, rising
early and working late, no time and
a half overtime, no hourly schedule,
shortened helping hands, weather to
worry about, storage to fret over.
There is great deal to worry about
and not take for granted in farm
ing. But on their way they go, these
farmers Of our nation, blowing, SOW
ing and reaping, grinding, feeding
and shocking. Stay at home, do
their job mostly without complaint,
because that is what they have al
ways done, before the war and it is
what they will still do after the war
is over. They are fighting for their
country, and their way isn't easy.

Some experts believe that air
power alone may create a second
front. They look forward to a time
when three, four, five Thousand ma
jor bombers will be used in night
ly raids against the Axis. Major de
Seversky is the most eloquent ex-
ponent of this doctrine and his re-
cent best seller, Victory Through

The problems involved here are
those of production, supply and CO.
operation and the last two are
even more important than the first.
We are producing planes on an ever
increasing scale. We have not yet
solved the difficulties that lie in
taking them, their fuel, their crews
and their parts to the battlefronts
ad keeping them flying.
In any event, many of those who
demand a second front at once are
terribly uniformed. The High Com
mand has not opened second front
simply because it knows that the
time is not yet ripe-and because it
also knows that the United Nations
must not be subjected to another
defeat of the Dunkirk, Singapore,
Philippines and East Indies variety.
A great amount of groundwork lies
ahead before we can really start a
sustained offensive drive of any kind
agaianst either Germany or Japan.
