INSTALLMENT BUYING
Business Is usually squawking
about government regulation, but
here Is one case where merchants
want to continue after the war.
They want to cherish and preserve
Regulation W."
This is the regulation requir-
ing heavy down payments on
consumer purchases. For ex-

ample, the down payment on a
$500 refrigerator today-if you
could get one - would be about
$50, compared with three or four
dollars before the war.
Wartime purpose of this regu-
lation is to curb buying and thus
reduce initiation. But retail mer-
chants like 1t for other reasons,
1t saves them bookkeeping eX-
penses, avoids the nuisance Of
dunning, and provides cash.
That's the view of the mer-

Credit organizations make money
from the high interest charges
involved in installment buying,
and they want to do away with

Selected Poem

ONE HILL
Helen Rowland Promell in the New York Sum-
l know one hill that must climb each year
When summer days are long and sun is high,
And not single darkening shadow falls,
And no cloud mars the satin of the sky.
For there life knows brief. incredible pause
At that high moment when I top the hill
And come upon rainbow tinted place
That takes away my breath and holds me still.
Spread like Spanish shawl the valley lies
A hand embroidered loneliness in flowers
And makes for one short space of bluejays flight
The measure and the end of all my hours.

HEREDITY AND PYORRHEA

Il khAND Il OANANAAAh
From many years of study IN
fer that pyorrhea means different
conditions to different people, and
dentists, after all, ar epeople.
Literally the word pyorrhea drom
pyO, puS, and rhein, to flow means
merely a flow or discharge of pus,
and in the majority of cases of what
dentists call pyorrhea today there is
not now and has not been any dis
charge or flow of pus from gums or
tooth-socketS. Forty or fifty years
ago. perhaps, the term pyorrhea was
applied only to chronic inf1amma-
ton of the gums with constant dis
charge of pus from the gums and
tooth sockets, and gradual loosening
of the teeth in the sockets and loss
of teeth.
The dentists have another term
which they apply to trouble Of a
prolonged, obstinate, chronic Qong-
enduring) character, namely, gingi-
vitis-(gingiva means gum, in
f1ammation Of the gums. 1t seems
that chronic gingivitis, as a gneeral
rule, is a mild, early and possibly
reversible or durable stage Of the
disease or, more accurately, IN my
opinion, the degeneration, more IA
miliarly known as pyorrhea.
I say in my opinion. My opinion
is no better, no more authoritative
than your doctors or your dentists
about gengivitis, pyorrhea and the
preservation of the teeth-eXcept
in my opinion! But If we are to dis
cuss the question frankly and open
ly there must be clear expression of
opinions, since nobody knows enough
to be more specific than that-no
dentist, no physician, no authority.
Literally tons and tons Of ma
terial relating to the nature, cause
and treatment Of pyorrhea alveo-
laris, Fouchard's disease Gas 1t is
variously called has been published
by physicians and dentists in medi-
cal and dental journals, essay, read
before medical and dental So
cieties, books and pamphlets in the
past half century. I say candidly
that the more of this stuff I have
read or studied the farther I feel
from finding a reasonably satisfac-
tory working knowledge of the con-
dition.
Some one inquired recently
whether pyorrhea Is hereditary. I
answered that there is no convinc-
ing evidence that it is-meaning,
of course, convincing to me. Sew
cal dentists protest-that pyorrhea
or a tendency thereto seems to run
in families. Well, if that is their
observation I do not question 1t. 1t
has not been my observation. And
I believe have always paid special
attention to the mouth condition OF
patients. The next talk on this sub
ject will show some common ground
on which perhaps these dentists
and I can stand together.

Gen. Richardson Orders
Judge 10 Drop Court
Proceeding

HONOLULU, HI, Aug. 26.-Lieut
Gen. Robert Richardson, Jr., Army
commander here, was held in con-
tempt of court and fined $4,000
during a proceeding involving the
suspension of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Federal Judge Delbert Metzgef
imposed the fine after Gen. Rich
ardson failed to appear in court to
show cause why he shouldn't be held
in contempt. The judge declared
the general had shown an open and
notorious defiance of the mandate
of the court"
Meanwhile Richardson retaliated
with a general order forbidding
further action in the case or any
attempt to enforce the fine.
He said that while martial law
was partly relaxed in the Hawaiian
Islands, the civil rights of habeas
corpus was still suspended, and as
commanding general of the Army
here he positively forbid further
action in the case in order to elm
mate and prevent and prohibit
interference with military personnel
in the performance Of their military
functions and duties within the
Territory of Hawaii and to further
the defense and international Sc
curity of the Territory"
The order forbids anyone con-
nected with the court from applying
for. issuing, serving or accepting any
plea for a writ of habeas corpus.
Under the Army order, violation
by Judge Metzgar or anyone else
makes the violator subject to five
year sentence or and $1,000 fine.
The order gives the provost Judge
the power to try any civilian, judge
or member of the civilian court for
violation of the order.
The order specifically orders Judge
Metzgar to drop the case.

BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 90
Berlin lives in real panic and
many persons terrorized by the
Allied air raids are Fleeing to the
protection of surrounding forests,
an article in the Swiss weekly, Die
Nation, reports.
NBC correspondent John McVane
said in London broadcast that the
German government offices of Ber-
lin are being dispersed throughout
Germany as a result of the Berlin
bombing.
Apparently the damage to Berlin
by the Allied air raid was greater
than first reported" McVane said.
The article in the Swiss weekly
was written before Berlin took its
heaviest pounding on Monday night.
1t said Berliners have had their
"eyes opened" by the flaming red
placards signed by Joseph Goebbels,
telling them to protect their lives
and property.
"Goebbels speaks with perfect
frankness," the report said. other
wise he is powerless. The wiping
out of Hamburg has been terrible
phantom in making Berlin real
madhouse."
The article added, "eyewitnesses
reported the English used new
weapons of artificial fire. Coal dust,
sulphur and phosphorus were fol-
lowed by incendiaries making a
terrible explosion, comparable only
to a coal mine fire or dam
catastrophe"

The W Washington
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMajor Robert g. Allen on active duty


INSTRUMENTATION of the
U. S. Air Forces operating over
Europe are maintaining a high
morale among the filters in the face
of daily losses of scores of their
comrades.
Official communicates report only
the number of planes lost on a
given flight. They fail to mention
that when ten Flying Fortresses go
down, 100 men go down with them.
This not only requires replace
ments, but also requires that the
men who survive shall not brood
too much over their friends.
Officials calculate the chances OF
survival, just as the men do, and
they regulate the flights to keep
those chances favorable. No flier
is kept on operations for more than
25 or 80 flights, depending on the
percentage of losses.
Also, officials take pains to keep
the mess halls filled. If SO men
fail to return from raid, they
make sure that there will not be
SO empty chairs at mess.
A high official of the War De-
partment, just back from tour ot
the air fronts, reports that morale
is good among the filters.
IF you sent them out against
heavy opposition to bomb truck
by the roadside" he said, they
might not be SO keen about it, but
these boys know the Importance of
their targets, and their fighting
spirit is high"
One officer, squadron leader,
suffered an injury to his foot, WHICH
was put in plaster cast. But he
hobbled out of the hospital, with
out being discharged, and made
four flights over Europe with his
crew, before attendants discovered
his trick and took him back to bed.
