THE USIi OF Within a few years, according to present indications, the process of television will be perfected for every-day use. Then we shall be able to sit in our homes, twirl a few knobs on our radio cabinets and see events taking place hundreds or thousands of miles off. The ordinary bounds of time and space will be completely overcome. We are fairly well used to radio and its marvels by this time, and miracles are our daily fare. Probably we shall take tele vision as a matter of course; shall 'fuss and fume whenever a passing thunderstorm or other Atmospheric disturbance renders the images on our screens a little less than perfectly distinct. Yet the whole thing ought to excite our wonder, at that. The simple fact is that mankind, at last, is freeing itself from, the domi nation of the universe and asserting its mastery over its material surroundings. We are doing the impossible; the future, in its possibilities, is (more glittering than anyone in history ever dreamed. There is only one disturbing fac tor. This miracle of television, demonstrating the kingship of man's mind, will be used largely so that we can see prize fights, baseball and political rallies just as the radio is used to send the tin-panny strains of "Mississippi Mud,' "That's My Weakness Now" and the like, and just as the movies give us "Silk Legs" and "Flames of Passion." We have developed bur scientific and mechanical devices a lit tle bit faster than we have developed ourselves. Our hands are better' than our heads. The , big job that we ought to tackle next is to bring ourselves up to the level of our in ventions. Television will be a fine thing, just as the radio and the movies are fine things. But if its chief, use is to , enable us to see prize fights and bathing girl reviews with out stirring out of our homes, we won't be much better off than we are now. Our scientists and inventors are plac ing great tools in our hands; tools with ..which, if we, will we can make simply unbelievable strides .along the road of progress. But we must learn how to use them. The next great advance must come in the realm of ideas! : r i " . CUOWING IN POPULARITY EACH DAY . ... " , 1 ; - .,-- : c Evidence of the popularity1 of the News-Kevicw is the number of new subscribers' received unsolicited from all parts of the county. From June 1 to July 24 exactly Kit) new names ' weno enrolled On our subscription lists, i, The excellent service accorded our subscribers, and the prompt ness of delivery of the daily paper accounts in a largo de gree for this splendid showing.! Every post office in tlw ...northern and southern part of the county is served the sairm day of publication which gives our readers the advantage of, the world's happenings before their evening meal. This is also a great advantage to local advertisers who reap the benefit of placing their offerings a day in advance to the rural readers. The News-Review serves its readers fully sixteen hours ahead of the metropolitan dailies carrying complete Associated Press reports as well as all important happenings in Douglas county. Another thing that has .added to the popularity of this publication is the fact that it gives the local news without fear or favor serving no par ticular interests anil constantly Douglas county. It has no personal achievements to ad vance oilier than for the good of the entire community. o Those who think the election of Al Smith will have anything to do with the annulment of the eighteenth ....amendment to the constitution are wasting their lime and energy discussing the subject, lint, why worry? Al is n long way from his goal regardless of IJie proclaimed popularity held by the distinguished governor. ' Thursday evening the two big bruisers come together in the Now York Yankee stadium. We'll be rather glad :vhen the public lacks sufficient interest to make tlie.-e events profitable to the big gamblers controlling the gam:'. o A California man is suing his forjnor wife for mire alimony. Now and then suine red-blooded lie-man steps out to help strike off the shackles Hint the poor male has worn for thousands of venrs.

ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALUKHT BANKS A SONG FOR AIRMEN (May be sung to tune of "America") God bless the men who fiy. Who ride the trackless sky, Give them thy peace; Give them true faith in thee, The hope of victory, Guard them so carefully Their fears shall cease. Guide them through storms and winds, Give them such trusting minds Thy cross they'll see; When danger-fogs confuse Grant them on thee to muse Until their hearts enthuse With love for thee. Dear God of air and land, The God of sky and strand, Watch thou their way; Thou God of earth's round ball, Thou Father over all, O hear them if they fall, God save that day I Thou sayest, "Peace be still," And seas obey thy will. Peace give to these: Thou holdcst world's in thrall, Dost note the sparrow's fall, And hear the sinner's call, Give their hearts ease. As they through shadows dart. Keep thou each lonely heart, Show thy sweet face; Thy hands the planets roll, , O guide each flying soul, Nerve them to reach their goal Through thy dear grace. Vacations From the first step upon the train or gang plank in every climnte and in every land. Wherever travel takes you, you'll find the well dressed man wearing Darbarook Mogador ties. ' This silk , material is the choice of the discriminating man. They are now on dis plny in our windows.

They'd fallen when the cork popped out, and when tho queen appeared, no doubt, 'twas hard lor all tlie Tinies to li. sure that she was there. "Say, am 1 dreaming?" Ciowny said, "or am I funny in the head' 1 think I see a little girl, who came out of that crock." "No, you're not dreaming," said the maid. "I'm really here. Iion't be afraid." And thou she smiled, while brushing back a little curly lock. Tv been within that crock about a year, and my I'm glad I'm out. Von little lads were very kind to work and set mo free.

Ono Tiny Jumped, and waved his hat. "Well, goodness, how did you do that? Where did the table come from? You are wonderful, I think." "Oh, you will see a whole lot more," the fairy said, "I have in store a vory tasty dinner and some nice cold milk to drink." She promptly waved her wand again, and said somo mystic words, unci then some food and drink. ap peared upon the table very quick. This gave the bunch a big surprise. Like saucers were their little eyes.
