BY FRANK JENKINS
TALF a hundred persona were
killed and upwards of 200 In
jured by tornadoes that have swept )
eleven states la the Middle West
and the South this week.
This Is a good time to recall the
slogan coined for Oregon the other
day by the Medford News: "The
land wiiere there Is a maximum se
curity of life."
When to maximum security is i
added maximum comfort. It be-j
comes evident that Oregon Is a j
mighty good place to live.
A SPRING blizzard lashes Mls-
sour! and Illinois, leaving in itsj
wake from three to six inches ofi
snow. It is feared that killing frosts
may follow on the trail of the
snow, doing millions of dollars of,
damage to the Middle Western!
fruit belt. I
California, already, has suffered
heavy frost losses. Oregon, to
date, has escaped damage and has
excellent prospects of a bumper
fruit crop. If frost does further!
damage in the Middle West, It
stands .to reason that Oregon grow
ers should receive a good price.
Somebody, it appears,. Is always
profiting by the rnhdortimes of
somebody else. It isn't right, but It
often happens.
TOWN in Multnomah county they
. are talking recalls and referun
dums. The procedure seems to be
something like this:
Go around to some professional
petition peddler aud make a dicker
with him to go out and chase down
enough names to get the desired
measure on the ballot. Then file H
and vote on it, just as if it repre
sented a real and sincere desire on
the part of the sovereign people.
It looks to this writer very much
as If our methods of getting direct
legislation started might profit
greatly from a complete overhaul
iK. fro tell if the kitchen sink Is at
the proper height, according to
the conclusions reached in a sur
vey just completed at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, the housewife
should stand before It and place
her palms on the bottom. If she can
do this w Hit out. stooping, the sink
Is properly adjusted.
Then, it might be added, if .she
can go through with the drudgery
of washing dishes In her properly
adjusted sink and like It, she is a
very unusual person.
Drudgery is something (hat all of
us abhor. And drudgery, unfortun
ately. Is something that all of us j
have to endure to a greater or less
degree. We have to take the bad;
along with the good In this life. (
AT tliis season of the year, in
the "good old days," we were
apt to be dosed pretty liberally with
sulphur and molaes. Or perhaps
it was sassafr,'.. te;. The Idea as
to alleviate the "spring fever."
"Spring fever," modern science
tells us, isn't wholly a myth, hut
we are advised to prevent It in
stead of trying to cure It. Preven
tion methods should go back to the
beginning of winter.
Take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air. Kat a balanced diet, con
sisting principally of milk, vege
tables and fruit, with an abundance
of water. Follow this regimen
throughout the winter, and you will
he pretty likely to escape "spring
ft-ver" la the spring.
That is to say, "spring fever,"
like so many of our other ills. Is
chiefly the result of wrong living.

"PEAKING of prevention, Dr.
Fretferfck D. StrifktT, Oregon
state health officer, tells us that
more than 50 per cent of the entire
population beyond the age of child-
hood suffers from foot trouble. Anrf.t

he adds, most of these peopie could

Car Driven by Fred Brown
Strikes Man as He Walks
Onto the Approach;
Dies in Hospital.
Came to Roseburg About
One Year Ago for the
Purpose of Building
Picture. Studio.
Wm. H. Cope, president of Co-,
peonia, Incorporated, a concern or
ganized here about a year ago
for the purpose of promoting a
motion picture studio to be used
by los Angeles film companies
while on location work In Oregon,
died about 1 o'clock last night from
injuries sustained when he was
struck by an automobile driven by
Fred Brown, WIHaid Battery Sta
tion employee. The accident oc
curred about 4:30 o'clock at the
east approach- of the- Oak street
bridge. The injured man was re
moved to Mercy hospital, where ...
death occurred within a snort
time.
According to Mr. Brown, driver
i of the auto, and the one eye wit
ness, Mrs. Geo. Stephens, Mr. Cope
was standing at the intersection
of Flint and Oak streets, near the
center of the street, apparently in
tending to cross Oak street to the
sidewalk on the north side of the
bridge.
Brown was driving east on the
bridge, and his Bpeed was report
ed to be about 20 miles an hour.
Cope, it was stated, stopped, al
most beside the stop sign in the
center of Flint street, and Brown
thinking that Cope was waiting
for tite car to pass, did not apply
his brakes.
Mr. Cope evidently misjudged
the distance and speed of the car,
and, after hesitating at the inter
section, started across Oak street
in front of the machine.
U whs too late for Brown to
avoid hitting him, and Cope was
knocked down and the car passed
over his body. The auto shopped
about loo feet from the spot of
the impact.
1 he Injured man was taken to
the hospital, and Dr. U. R, Shoe
maker was called to attend him. It
was found that both of his legs had
been broken above the knee and
one of his legs broken below th
knee, ills head was badiv cut.
and he was bruised over his en
tire body. His death resulted from
shock about two and a half hours
after he was placed in the hos
pital. He was conscious for about
an honr after the accident.
