POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-In
W contemptuous defiance of
Congress, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes has informed the
House insular affairs committee
that he will continue Robert
MorsS Lovett in office as execu-
tive assistant to the governor
Of the Virgin Islands, notwith-
standing the statutory prohi-
bition, pending a test by the
Supreme Court.
~ 81 feel said Ickes, "that the
Congress has improperly tres
passed upon my prerogstives as
the head of an executive depart
ment by seeking to dictate to
me In the selection OF my re-
sponsible subordinates."
Can you beat that for bureau
cratic gall and impudence?
MAY 1 say" he added, that
we are not solicitous OF the
will Of Congress when we think
Congress IL unconstitutionally
encroaching on our powers.
ITO THIS arrogance, Rep.
4 Clarence Cannon CD Of
Missouri, chairman of the House
appropriations committee. which
proposed the legislation barring
Lovett, made this succinct reply:
mot one dollar Of money will
be made available for the pay
ment of the salary of Mr..
Lovett, I'm any capacity, after
Nov. 10. unless by that time his
nomination has been sent to
the Senate, and he has been
confirmed.
"A subcommittee Of the APP
preparations committee IL In
vestigating charges OF subver-
sive affiliations and sympathies
against other federal employees,
and appropriate action will be
taken against them"
This joined what is regarded
at the Capitol as the most seri-
Gus headon collision between
the executive and legislative
branches Of the government
since the impeachment Of Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson.
TCKES had been summoned
Il before the insular affairs
committee TO state by what au-
thority he had transferred
Lovett from the position of Sec
rotary OF the Virgin Islands,
which he held at the time the
custer was ordered by Congress,
TO the position Of executive as
Sistant TO the governor, after
Congress had found him guilty
Of affiliations with subversive
organizations.

heart Is less savage than the
strategy which requires syste-
matte determination of it's
armed forces-and, incidentally,
your own armed forces-in the
process Of reaching its heart.
IN THE past, to attain victory,
l. we normally had to cut paths
through the living flesh of
massed armies, with enormous
loss Of life to attacker and de-
fender alike. Furthermore. ap-
preaching closer and closer to
the citadel of the enemy's
strength, the territory traversed
was devastated by both bellig-
erents, leaving trails of rubble
and ruin.
Only the advent Of air power,
in our own generation, has made
il possible to strike at the main
target directly, over the heads
of armies and navies, and with
out putting the intervening ter
ritory to fire and sword. Air
power is able to seek out spe-
cific detectives and demolish
them in order to loosen the

IN OREGON you can drink

DISCOVERY OF a new method
~ of preventing and curing
typhoid fever. one of the grave
diseases which especially
threaten humanity at this time,
has been revealed.
Medical scientists Of India,
engaged in war work, have
found a new way OF attacking
typhoid, il was announced by
DR.. S. S. Bhatnagar, In Nature,
London scientific publication.
A mysterious substance or
group of substances has been
found which develops within the
human body chemical particles
that destroy the germ and the
poison Of typhoid fever.
The new substance has been
named vi-precipitinogen. When
IL enters the living human body,
this substance speeds up the
production by the body of its
police force onsisting of
vi-antibodies, which are parti-
cles capable of anchoring and
destroying typhoid germs,
EOR prevention OF typhoid,
Il then, all one has TO do is TO
inoculate a person with vi-pre-
cipitinogen. The body does the
rest. 1t fills itself with H-anti-
bodies.
During actual disease. the
same treatment helps. The in
jected substance helps the pa
tents body to develop active
immunity, defense against the

tee that he had no authority
other than the constitutional
authority he had outlined.
With regard to Lovett, the
elderly University of Chicago
professor, who is a cheerfully
admitted joiner of innumerable
Communist front organizations,
the comptroller general certainly
will cut off his pay il he hasn't
been nominated and confirmed
by Nov. IS.
IF HE should continue to func-
Il ton as government en-
ploye after that date, without
having been nominated and con-
firmed, he will run into a fed
eral law which makes it a felony
for anybody to serve the gov
eminent without pay.
Since he can neither draw pay
after Nov. Is, nor work for the
government after that date, how
will he be able to establish a
claim for pay before the court
Of claims? How does he propose
to carry an appeal to the SUI
preme Court?
Meanwhile, Congress will not
weaken. 1t will not appropriate
a thin dime for Lovett.
Mr.. Ickes, what's your next
best card?

existing germs. SO, the germs
are overpowered.
Studies have shown that as
the vi-precipitinogen increases
in the typhoid patients body,
the recovery Is speeded up.
Until now, a very different
view as regards the defense of
the body against typhoid was
prevalent. The old view has
been that the blood serum of a
person recovering from typhoid
contains anti-bodieS.
IT HAS been assumed that
Il these anti-bodies, of the con-
yalescent serum, themselves
fight the typhoid germs in a
new patient.
But, research showed that
the blood serum of persons re-
covered from an attack of this
fever contains very few Of the
anti-bodies. And, yet there was
no doubt that such serum cured
typhoid patients.
What was it, then, which
healed the sick? Research
showed that II was the newly
found substance, V-precipitino-
gen, that was effective: since IL
enabled the patient to build up
his own resistance.
1t seems that the newly found
substance Is produced when the
typhoid germs begin to perish.
1t might be a substance which
is set free from the germ itself,
when IL dies. However, so far
these details remain UNEMPLOYED.

In Riding a Bicycle, We
Balance With Our Ears

The transportation restrictions
have sent many thousands of peo-
pie back to the bicycle. Some of
us had not ridden a bicycle for
years, but the art of balancing on
two wheels came back to us easily
enough.
Now, why don't we fall over?
The tires on the bicycle are a
semi-circular pattern, you will
have noticed, and when you come
to think about it they do look pretty
precarious. In fact, it is obvious
that you are going to hold them
up, not they hold you.
The truth is that we balance our
bicycles with our ears. 1t is all
part of our normal makeup, this
balancing act, and we commence
putting it into operation as soon
as we begin to walk.
The ear is divided into three
parts: the outer ear, the middle
ear, and the inner ear. Our bal
ancing mechanism is contained in
the inner ear. There we have two
tiny canals filled with liquid. We
might almost call them "fuid lev
els" for they function in much the
same way. When the liquid is
moved by the sway of the head it
touches tiny hairs which convey to
the brain the message that we are
overbalancing.
Notice how tight-rope walker
keeps his head perfectly still. Al
though he may not know it, he is
listening carefully to the message
from the delicate mechanism of
his inner ear.

YOUR tape measure and a little

terial when making those new
slip covers. In estimating goods
remember that the length and
width of each section must be
the same as the widest and long

the chair to which it is to be fit

measuring is shown here.
Slip cover material usually
comes in SO and 50-inch widths.
Frequently narrow chair back
may be covered by splitting a So
inch width of goods. For other
chairs 36-inch material might be

Paper W atermarks

A watermark is obviously very
valuable trademark, since it is
embodied in the paper without in
terfering with that papers use
fitness. The name of the inventor
of watermarks is unrecorded. We
find watermarks as far back as the
18th century.
Briefly, a watermark is made by
incorporating a design in thin wire
in the mold on which paper is
being formed. Where the wire
touches the paper, it is naturally
thinner. And so the impress of
the wire is visible if the finished
paper is held up to the light.

Dried Foods Compressed
To Save Shipping Space

Wartime shrinking of food to
save shipping space brings us, step
by step, closer to the old idea of
capsule meal. The latest wrin-
kle is COMPRISING already de-
hydrated foods. Additional space
saved by COMPRISING ranges from
30 per cent for dried whole milk
to 80 per cent for dried cream of
cabbage soup.
