ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 1927.
Approved by sportsmen,
Lodal sportsmen generally will approve of the recom
meiidiition of the state game commission, to the legislature,
. putting the steelhead salmon (or trout) in the class with
game fish in several Oregon rivers, among them the Ump-
qua. If the legislature acts favorably it will mean that the
steelheads cannot be taken-lawfully with nets'. This would
leave that variety of fish exclusively to' anglers, providing
the nets used by commercial fishermen in their pursuit of
chinooks and silversides were of large enough mesh to per
mit the steelheads to pass through them in their up-stream
progress. Holding the opinion that commercial fishermen
. would ignore any law that would prohibit them from ne't
' ting for steelheads, sportsmen in iill parts Of western Ore
, gon have long demanded the abolishment of the taking of
all classes of fish with nets. The recommendation of the
game commission fnay be regarded as a compromise. The
sieelhead is really the only fish that the sportsmen do not
wish the commercial men to' take. As ldng as that fish is
left to the anglers, there will probably be no further com
plaint from the sportsman. If the commercial fishermen
persist, hovvever, in taking them in violation of the expect
ed law, they will evoke a renewal of the agitation against
thenl and perhaps bring about a situation they would not
relish. - ,

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN.
Nation Wide attention has been attracted by a lady,
Mrs. Freedmani wife of a Methodist minister, who has en
tered Nol-thwestern University at the age of 77, and is do
ing it "to keep from getting rusty." While she at that elder
ly period is applying her mind to wisdom, a lot of folks
around 20 and 30 think they know enough now. About two
fhirds of out people go round and round in little grooves,
jf you ask them to take up some line shpwing originality,
they remark, "I never did that." Their progress has abso
. lutely stopped. Go ahead people are never satisfied to do
just the same thing over and over again, but they demand
a chance to expand and try something new. They are not
.satisfied unless each New Year's day brings the conscious
ness that they have learned much dilring the 12 months
previous. ' .
i o
' ' Senator B. L. Eddy thinks the Oregon educational sys
tem can be better supervised by one body of individuals than
by three and that, the system itself is in urgent need of con
siderable revision. On both scores many will agree with
him. However, news from Salem indicates that he is going
to have some opposition. Even a partial victory for Sena
tor Eddy's bill will be greatly to his credit. One step for
ward toward centralization of school supervision and an
ptiier toward stripping the curricula of non-essentials is
bcaiiid to meet 'with general public approval and start the
needed reform at a gradual pace in the direction of the goal
iset by Mr. Eddy and which he has so zealously labored to
attain for several years.

Most men admire J. Topham Tinner, who owns the big
department store; they say he is a four time winner, his
methods hustlers should adore. He started in obscure and
needy, he started at the bottom runir: but
"1 he was prompt, alert and sneedv. and cuiick-
ly to the top he sprung. Where others
failed he has succeeded, where scores went
broke ho made his wad; and now his light
est word is heeded, and men are proud to
gain his nod. Where others hesitate and

pretty soon we'll all be fired. I've giveh hints, but he won't
listen, he goes to some great auto race, and scorns the briny
tears that glisten upon my sad and haggard face." The old
gray wf.tchmail, Peg-leg Jerry, remarks, "The good old days
of yore! Ah, then, my friends, my heart was merry, as 1
went toiling through the store. For then the boss was keep
ing cases on all that happened day by day; but now he's off
to motor races, or sailing boats around the bay." .The boss,
he rests on silken couches, but would his slumber be as
sweet, if he could hear the basement grouches invoking

LETrERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
I ELECTIONS NOT VICTORIES
! FOR WETS WRITER CLAIMS
: Hdiior News-Heview:
Will you give sjmce to call at
I tentlon lo the fact that the so coll
' ed success of Iho wets In many of
! Ilio elections is really a dry vie
i tory. All the election has prov
ed is that New York state. Chica-
go, Illinois and San Francisco re
main wet, but with reduced
1 chances of influencing national leg
islation. Missouri, California.
I Colorado and Montana were the
j only states with a legal refereu
i dum on the liquor laws and in the
i first three states the dry major-
Hies were" tremendous, Montana
; alone repealing tl. state laws.
; Chicago, an outstanding wet
.spot support George E. Bren
j nan for the senate. He askei for
votes on his personal promise to
give the people wine an:l heer and
j was defeated by more tl an nine
I hundred thousand dry votes cast
i against lilin.
I Illinois had a useless referendum
j which attracted 5OO.UU0 wet votes
; to about 300,000 dry votes, with
.lnore than 700,000 drys failing to
vote at all.
! The country elected 35 senalois,
! all dry hut nine; and of the 43".
j members of the house 290 have dry
; leconls. Massachusetts elected a
; bone dry governor and New YoiVs
I senaionai election is a tremen
dous liow to near sighted republi
cans who wanted to pledge the G.
O. P. to tho wets.
In tho dry soulh and dry middle
west election results will tighten
state and community dry laws. The
only real wet victory is the repeal
of the stato liquor lawa In Mon
tana, liootleggeis and moonshin
ers may now operate in Montana
without interference by the police,
and the nation now has the spect
acle of a stale without a penalty
even for selling liquor to minors. .
Let the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment take lull
responsibility for the results:
Has It ever occurred to you that
the wets during the past few years
have had an enoimous advantage?
Law breaking and arguments
against prohibition have constitut
ed news and got widest circulation.
Because there is nover anything
spectacular about goodness, even
the best stories mbout the dry
movement (proofs of prohibition
benefits and Informative material
that every voter should at least
have the opportunity to read) all
this lias been heavily blue pencil
led when printed at all.
Once wet stories appear in print,
wet claqucrs have called the pub
lic's attention to this newspaper
Bluff as concrete evidence of' the
failure of prohibition.
For the most part, the drys have
made little attempt to answer.
This, I think, is a mistaken policy.
Many people believe what they
read and it is only wisdom to point
constantly voiced by the wets.
Take the favorite sliitement
made by many wets "there is
more liquor drunk now than be
fore prohibition.'1 That is not so.
Irving Fisher, a Yale professor
who has made a scientifically ac
curate study of the matter reports
"that not one-sixth as much liquor
is being made or duink. Before
prohibition 250.000 saloons were
open and a half million saloon keep
ers tried to get market for their
goods, unhindered by tile govern
ment." Now the only dispensers
are bootleggers and they are out
laws, gradually being caught and
punished.
Another favorite argument is
"that prohibition "causes crime."
Not at all! It is the revolver, a tool
of crime, coupled with tho auto
mobile and the failure of the courts
to punish crime, that causes crime.
It is perfectly .easy to answer
wet propaganda. All you have to
do Is tell the truth about prohibi
tion. That effectively . answers
every wet argument.

SIRS. A. H. FEItGUSON.
A NEW COMPLAINT i
Last year I had a few complaints
about chapped feet and legs, this
year I have dozens and dozens,
.ijrts are shorter, and stockings
thinner, so, 1 suppose, more
people sutler from cnapped legs.
And. waiit to knew wnat to do
about it!
The only thing Is to treat the
legs like the hands. If they chap,
you rub them with a lotfon or a
cream, lJ that softftis the skin
iMid ali is well again. If your legs
chap-wash them with luke warm
water and an oily soup like castile
-never use a Btrong soap on the
body during cold weather, keep
(lie skin us oily a? possible or us is
uutural. Dry and then rub in honey
almond lotion, glycerine and rose
water, or a good quality vanishing
cream.
The best way is to spread the
cream thickly on the palms of the
hands, and then rub ihe legs from
the . knees down, working the
cream well into the skin. Rub until
the skin has taken it up. Hub over
the insteps and around the heels,
for the heels chap even in warm
weather, and tho best way to keep
them soft is to rub them full of
cream.
You must be sure your cream is
greaseless, otherwise either your
stockings of your bed clothes will
be stained. Get a good quality, or
the skin will sting after It has been
used. Don't put on your stockings
for some minutes after you have
used the cream, it takes a little
time for the skin to absorb it.
If you do this whenever your
legs seem rough, you'll bo saved
a hit of discomfort during tho win
ter. A chapped skin, when exposed
to cold, becomes dry and itchy and
finally raw and -sore. You know
what happens to your hands or
yc lips; the same thing, only
worse, will happen to your legs.
And by the way, your heels will
look Oard and ugly -and the skin
i.-come dirty and gnji' just from
shoe pressure; keep them
with cream if this happens.
soft
A. M. R. Dark circles about the
eyes come from some internal dis-
order, and if they persist the doc
, tor should be consulted. A condi
tion that Is temporary will often
' yield very quickly if you rest or
take tonic and build youjselt up. s
I Mrs. It. V. I am glad the toni(7
'is helping your hair. Massage the
j fat off under your chin and after
I each time you do this rub with a
! small piece of ice. An exercise for
reducing the chin is achieved by
throwing the head' far back be
tween the shoulders and then go
through a chewing- motion until
you have fully exercised all the
chin and throat muscles.
Follow the exercise or massage
with ice or very cold water. You
may be too stout all over - and a
general ' reduction will- improve
your figure, . in which -case, your
abdomen will not be so full, neith
er will your feet be so broals
they are now. i

FREEZE TAKES TOLL
IN TRANSCAUCASIA
(As.eoolatifl Press I.rasrd Wire)
TIKIJS, Soviet Republic of Cieor
Km. Jan. lX l wo villages in Hie
Amiorosk district of southern Os
seiia are reported to have been
completely buried by gigantic
snott'ulides. Dispatches say only
five victims have been recovered
thus far.
(Avalanches are reported to
have obliterated an entire village
in the Kuthu district of southern
Osswia early this month, with
heavy loss of life. In the Okonaky
district Fnowslides destroyed more
than 300 peasant homes.)
In years past it has been the
custom to curtain all windows and
use "tidies" to cover all wood sur
faces such as, table-tops, bureau
tops, and desk-tops. Today we' are
working away from these curtains
and coverings, we see the beauty
in leaded glass panes and gleam
ing polished wood unadorned.
in the case of the in-swinging
casement window, for instance,
curtaining often seems superflu
ous. We can shir "glass curtains"
onto rods fastened at lop and bot
tom of sash, and we can hang
overdrapes at either side of the
case as with any other kind of
window; but how exposed we feel
when the window is open and the
curtains are found to be of no
earthly good in shielding! So, we
decide, it is better to leave the
windows completely Uncurtained.
Indeed, it is often most effective,
especially wiien the ia-swinging
window has beautiful leaded glass
panes or any small panes. In Eng
lland (on my trip there, several
years ago) I noticed that it was
Jtlie custom to dispense with glass
t curtains on these casement win
dows, although they frequently
used side draperies -as decoration
and shade.
Hut not only casement windows
may be left uncurtained today. A
week ago I called .upon a friend
who lives in the country. She has
bought an old farmhouse which is
very small ana. which has-very lit
tle windows all over the house.
When she tried to use glass-curtains
she found that her rooms
were too dark to be cheerful. So
she decided to use nothing at any
window in the house except a
strip of cretonne at either side (on
the wood casement, not ;over the
window)' and a ruffled balance of
the same material across the toi
of the sash (also placed complete
ly on the wood, so as not -. to ob
scure one bit of light). Large win
dows would doubtless look bare
with such a decoration, but in her
tiny rooms, with their small win
dows, the effect is charming. Not
haying, near neighbors to peer into
her rooms through the bare glass,
she feels no lack of privacy. Yet
at night she 'can pull down her rol
ler shades if she pleases. 1
I also like the new idea that a
beautiful table top requires no cov
ering. Ornaments stood upon it
which might scratch can have a
tiny mat placed beneath them. If
the wood is not perfectly polished
however, a runner or cloth is bet
ter. Tomorrovv Recipes from

You know, if you have followed
my writings, that I have contended

(accumulation of food; Unit is, that
those who are overweight invari

that they have some disturbance

known as the endocrine glands
as the source of their accumulated

nothing to do with their cats!
I don't say these and others who
are overweight do not have any
trouble with their glands, you un
derstand. They do with all the
organs and tissues of the both-,
more or less! Hut 1 believe that
this disturbance of the ehtmls,
without doubt, in most instances is
caused by the poisons engendered
by constantly overeating for the
needs. And when a reducing diet
is persisted in long enough to re
duce the weight to normal, ihe
glands resume their functions
again that Is, unless they have
been irreparably damaged.
However if, those who do not
care lo diet will increase their
Physical activities so that all the
food they take is not sufficient for
their needs, nature will call on
some of their stored fat to make
up for the deficiency. To most,
however, that would mean engag
