The La Grande band presented an outstanding concert of
marches, overtures, and descriptive music jast evening, with
characteristic perfection, . That concert was a tribute of
appreciation to the citizens of (La Grande who, through fin
ancial aid, have rrtado it possible for the band to continue.
It was also a recognition of the timely aid of the members
of the American Legion, who stimulated and organized the
! efforta of the other organizations and citizens who canie to
- the support of the band ; and the Legion Drum Corps returned
the complement by contributing tiwo skilfully executed
numbers to the program last night.
The La Grande band, though not now supported by city
. funds, is truly a civic enterprise Itoth Andrew Loney Jr.,
the director, and the personnel of the band are thoroughly
loyal to La Grande, and through their loyalty to each other
and to their organization, they are able to respond on short
notice to requests of all kinds, whether the occasion be a
basketball game, a parade, or a concert.
- Mr. Loney is recognized as one of the leacjing directors and
cornetists 'of the Northwest, and his organization includes
many musicians of outstanding ability. Through the efforts
of these mcy the name of our city Jias become favorably
known throughout the state. ' Faithful practice under the
guidance of the director, whose imagination, resourceful
ness, and wide knowledge of music supply a seemingly in-.
exhaustible repertoire, has earned them the reputation of
being one of the most competent bands of the Pacific North- J
west.
It is a distinct advantage o La Grande to be represented
by this band, even if one considers only the commercial
aspects; but the cultural value is even greater. The band
is a powerful influence for good in our community; it en
courages the young musicians
all other musical organizations; it promotes a spirit of good
will and co-operation; it develops the musical abilities 6f all
who join; and it affords our citizens a valuable education in
music. ' '
The band outdid itself last night in expressing its appre
ciation of our support; and we should appreciate the spirit
of loyalty and enthusiasm which held the band together,
when it seemed almost impossible to continue.
JAPAN'S COURSE
Granting for sako of argument that Japan is warring, on
China in defense of her trade, which is menaced by the Chi
nese boycott, what is she to gain, by using force rather than
peaceful arbitration in her efforts to right this commercial
wrong? ,f The world witnesses Japan's army and, navy, her
rifles, machine guns, cannon, and bombs, resorted to in a tre
mendous business getting enterprise.
Have the fortunes of war improved since 1918?. The na
tions that entered the World war without being forced in
believed in the power of war to endow them with certain
trade or territorial advantages. All came out of that terrible
mistake sadly disillusioned. Perhaps Japan was too far awaj
to learn the bitter lesson.
The Japanese attempt to vindicate the attack on Shanghai
by the Chinese boycott and the anti-Japanese propaganda of
the Chinese nationalist government. It is true that these
movements injured Japan's trade in China and Manchuria
last year, but who is responsible for them? What has Japan
done to provoke a boycott and racial hatred? These flames
may be fanned by demagogues, with which both of the East
ern powers arc overcrowded, but the fires must first be
started,
Japan's remedy for the situation assumes that she can
make China love her and buy her goods by bombarding her
cities, slaughtering her citizens and occupying her territory.
No country ever got business that way and Japan has about
as much chance of doing it now as the Chinese navy would
have of sinking the American navy.
Let Japan show an ounce of good will toward China; let
her make some overt move that will disarm those who suspect
her of imperialistic designs upon her great continental
neighbor, and the Chinese boycott will be broken. No politi
cian can misinterpret a real act A international friendship.

TYPICALLY JARANEK
Lieutenant General Kenkechl Uve
da. the new Japanese commander at
Shanghai has Issued an ultimatum to
the Chinese to withdraw all military
I forces from the Shanghai area, stat-
. lnff tht. "rhi uw.itlri hann hnsllll.
ties If the Chinese withdraw" and
"the further the better" Is typical of
Japanese arrogance.
Shanghai Is Chinese territory and
the Japanese assault after all de
mands had been complied with, was
unjustifiable. It is the Japanese who
should withdraw, for their invasion
is in violation of the League of Na ¬
tion s covenant, of the Briand -Kellogg
pact to outlaw war and of the nine
power treaty guaranteeing the terri
torial Intpwrtt.v nf rhino tn all r1
which Japan was a signatory.
- The Chinese cannot be blamed for
resisting the demands of an outlaw
nation, whose thinly veiled objective
is the domination of China and the
exploitation of the Chinese. Had the
League of Nations and the United
States acted vigorously in protesting
the first invasion or Manchuria, in
stead of faltering and procrastinat
ing, and fnllnnrfii It iin bv spvprlnc
'of diplomatic relations, thus
; strengthening the hands of the
I friendly ministry, the militarists
woud not have secured control of
' the Japanese government. Much of
; the blame for the existing situation
: rests on the powerB for permitting
the violation and scrapping of peace
treaties.
I The Chinese have good reasons to
l resist the invaders. Their experience
J with Japan warrants the most des
I perate of defenses to prevent the dls
I integration and seizure by armed
might of its territory. Korea had been
under Chinese suzeralnity since 1627,
when Japan launched a tremendous
attack In 1894 and annexed Korea.
During the world war Japan seized
a large section of China and Imposed
the infamous 91 demands, but was
forced by international pressure to
return the spoils, but secured conces
sions in Manchuria she was not en
tilled to. Last September the Jap
anese launched an unprovoked attack
on Mukden and has since seized all
of Manchuria, for annexation as
Korea was grabbed. Now the Jap
anese, without a declaration, of war
are attempting the seizure of Shang-,
hal and the entire Yang tec valley.
Illy equipped as the Chinese are,
fired by patriotism, they are capable
of such a desperate defense as to
make the venture extremely costly
to Japan and spoil her economic and
financial ruin In the long run, for the :
Chinese though peaceable, are not
only good fighters, battling In a just
cause the defense of their country
but past masters of passive resist
ance as well. Salem Capital-Journal.
BOTH BENTIMBSTAL
AND
SELFISH
Most of the argument concerning
trading at home have been worn out
with1 ' constant repetition. Yet the
subject is still a vital and an import
ant one.
During the past few years there
have been important changes In mer
chandising. The argument by most
local merchants Is not now so much
to trade at home as to trade with
the partlqular type of store that thy
represent. Mall order business lms
declined and most of the mail order
houses have established their retail
outlets.
The method of distributing mer
chandise over the counter, a personal
transportation between buyer and
seller, was nover more firmly estab
lished than today. That is a favor
able fact for local merchants.
The local merchant Btill hns his
competition. It is usually in the
next town or nearby city.
Tho oppeol,to people to buy at
hemo must be put upon more than
mere sentimental grounds, though
there Is force to the argument of
loyalty to friends, neighbors and cus
tomers. Many people In small communities
state that they cannot buy as cheaply
at homo as In somo distant point.
Sometimes facts bear out this argu
ment. But when people llvo in a
small community they must expect
to do business on the basis that Is
essential to success of business in a
smaller town. It is selfish to expect
your customers to pay the prices that
you aHk and yet be unwilling to pay
fair prices for what you buy of them.
Business must be dono at a profit.
If you got a profit yourself you must;
expect to pay one to tne otner ichow.
Wo are not discouraged about tho
small town and city. Some folks say
that decline- or the smaller centers
Is inevitable. There Is little to prove
it. ropumtion is not. growing as rap
Idly In' smaller communities as in
tho cities. But tho cities have grown
too raplt'ly too many of tholr
people havo no work. Population la
no unset unless that population is
well employed.
On every hand there is evidence of
Improvement tn small communities.
That Improvement consists of better
streets, schools, highways, homes and
stores. And with all of these things
there Is a most reasoning evidence
of community loyalty a spirit which
makes lor sound development anu
for general good will.
When you trade nt homo you help
other people to trade with you. These
are both sentimental and selfish rea
sons for trading with your neighbors.

CHANGE IN AUTO
LAWS APPROVED
Secretary of State Hoss
Kelates Results of Adopt
ing New Code in 1931. .
By Hal F. Hons
(Secretary of State)
The state of Oregon took a forward
step in motor vehicle legislation in
1931, ln the opinion of those con
versant with conditions, when it
adopted the third and fourth acts of
the uniform vehicle code, drafted by
the National Conference on Street I
ana Highway Safety, the former re
lating to the examination of operators
and the latter to the regulation of
traffic on the highways. The first
and second acts of the code, adapted
to state-wide legislation, provided
motor vehicle registration and cer
tificate of title laws, which have been
a part of the Oregon motor vehlclo
system since 1925. By overwhelming
majorities, both houses of the 1931
legislature approved the two new
measures, which had been, endorsed
enthusiastically by many prominent
individuals, by organizations in the
state- Inter ted in the promotion of
BHiui.y ana 01 unnormity in regula
tions, and by the office of the secre
tary of state, under whom lurlsdic-
tion of motor vehicle activities has
been placed for manv vears.
Observance of traffic conditions In
Oregon during the last few years,
study of causes and results In Ore
gon and In other states, and helpful
guidance of the national conference
in advancing tho development of
better motor vehicle legislation were
responsible for my interest in the
unuorm code with its recommenda
tions for perfecting laws eovernimz
automobiles and their operators.. I
attended the 1930 session of the con
ference In Washington. D. C. and ob
tained from it a general nowledge
of the progress of other states along
automotive lines and a specific sug
gested plan, analyzed and advocated
by nationally-known traffic experts,
ior tne reuei m xne rapuuy increasing
traffic congestion with its attendant
dangers.
Oregon Ready For Change
Oregon, with a stodv ttrowth In
motor vehicle registration, with wide
ly variant highway conditions, with
laws not definite enough ' to cover
these variances in conditions and to
provide sufficient supervision over the
operation oi automobiles, and with a
citizenry open-minded- towards
changes, was ready for a revamping
of its motor vehicle statutes. After.
study of the uniform code, it an-.
peared to me that it was most vital
for Oregon, to consider those acts'
establishing a model highway traf-
iic law, wnicn included the basic1
rulo for speed regulation and a hew
right-of-way proviso, and authorlz-1
ing tests ior operators or motor ve-1
hides.
For many years, motorists In Orceon
had followed the practice of the basic
rule for the amount of speed per-1
ml t ted. When thoi average driver
was out in the open country, where
crossroads were few and vision was I
clear for long distances ahead, his
rato or speed was a good deal above j
the old limit of 35 miles an hour, and !
tno iocior oi saiew to nimsetr and
olJe guided him in the speed at-on tho akln ot the nostrils, on the
which he travelled. When ho wasllpSi or m thB mouth. At times the

of a 35-mile limit for all conditions
of roadway was felt bv officers con
cerned with this duty to be imprac
tical and non-essential to sufety. Un
favorable publicity resulted in the
elimination of speed traps, which
sprang up In. tho smaller, commun.
Itles In the state several years ago,
and officers were not put out on
the road for tho purpose of "getting"
tho driver who travelled a few miles
faster than the exact speed estab
lished In the statutes, but for the
enforcement of safety regulations for
all. Since this basic rulo was fol
lowed In practice to such n great ox-
tent in Oregon, it was argued that.
mo jaw governing tho speed of mo
tor venicies snouid Do amended to
pormit tho legal operation of a car In I
conformity to tho standard of cood
senso as outlined in tho basic rulo.
In other words, to keep Mr. Average
Driver from bolng a law broaker ev
ery time he took his car out on the
open highway a change in the law
whs needed. Oregon has hundreds

uimuo anu wie regulations ior uni
formity in traffic control, with other
progressive states wcro adopted.
Sentiment Favors New Luhh
Since the new trafflo regulations
become effective on Juno 6. 1031, pub
lic sentiment for tho new law has in
creased. Reduction in motor vehicle
accidents in tho state during tho lost
six months of tho year was 3.7 per
cent and in. fatalities a 33 per cent
reduction was effected.
Under Oregon's fonner law, oper
ators were required to obtain a Uccnso
to drivo, but no restrictions other
than an ago limit and u superficial
inquiry as to tho driver's possible
physical inability to operate a cor
wore made. A slmplo application fonn
and a dollar bill alono were needed
to get a permit to drive in Oregon.
Watching the improvement In con
ditions in other states where oper
ators' examinations had been requisite
over a period or years, I was im
pressed by their definitely better
trafflo accident records. With acci
dent rates Increasing rapidly in other
states, it was clearly evident that tho
examination requirements wore weed
ing out unfit drivers and above all
wcro educating nil motor vehlclo op
erators in rules of the road and in
safe driving practices, "
The value of the tests as educa
tional factors vos In itself sufficient
endorsement for tho now law, which
become operative In Orvgon, July 1,
1U31. While the provisions onactcd
In thli state did not require an Im
mediate calling In of all drivers' li
censes outstanding and allowed re
newals to bo mandatory some time
within three years following the ef
fective date. Interest was aroused at
onco In the low and Its purposes and
requirements, and this awakening of
Interest was at oucq beneficial. It
was pleading but surprising to note
thet Inquiries and requests for In
formation on the law. as It lndt-,
cated among other things a healthy
interest in any plan to promote,
greater highway safety. One brief1
article in a motoiints magazine '
brought more than 400 requests in
three days following publication for
the "Questions and Answers" book- ,
lets Issued by this office to aid the
Individual who wishes to study the
rules of the road oreparntory to tak
ing a drivers examination. A series
of radio talks resulted In another
Influx of requests for similar in
formation, and probably eo per cent i
of these two groups of inquiries werj I
not frrtm now drivers but were from .
thow who hod operated cars la Ore-
gon for many years drivers who
Wanted to bo prepared on trafflo '
questions when their licenses werej
called In for renewal. Thin tact u-
significant lu demonstrating the av-
erage motorist's Insufficient know
ledge of the motor vehicle law. Many
operators who have completed the
tests since July 1, have stressed that
tho examination has been most help
ful to them in showing how little
they actually knew about safe driv
ing requirements and they have en
dorsed whole-heartedly the various
features or tne tests.
Oregon's Method Approved '
Oregon's method of conducting
operators' examinations and the pro
visions of its law, including the
regulations on revocations and sus
pensions of licenses, have been ap
proved by national authorities in mo
tor vehicle administration. A study
of the methods of examining op
erators in other states was largely
responsible for the system that was
built up and adapted to Oregon, and
our state profited to no small extent
by the experiences and experiments
In other sections of the United
States.
Viewing the accomplishments that
have already been effected during the
short time that these two acts of the
uniform code have been operative
and recognizing the value that sim
ilar legislation has had; in. other
states, I look forward not only to
a great advancement In safe and sane
motor' vehicle operation in Oregon,
but also to the time when uniform
laws will be adopted in.-all states of
the union bo that familiarity with ;
the laws of one's own state will mean
a knowledge of the requirements of
the neighboring commonwealth or the
oww niruugu vrmcii una vraveja uu
vacation or business trips. Prom ob
servation and personal experience, I
am thoroughly convinced that the
establishment of practical, workable
and uniform motor vehlclo laws such
as Oregon adopted at the recom
mendation of the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety
is at least a partial answer to the
nation's traffic problems.

"Colds" And Their Complications
Tho term "colds" usually refers to
a condition characterized by a feeling
of fullness in the head, obstruction
to nasal breathing, sneealng, and a
discharge from the nose. This is at
first thin, watery, and very Irritating.
In many coses thero is swelling, red
ness, and soreness of the entrance of
the nostrils because of the action of
this secretion. Some persons develop
-,,ra- nr. ( kuc
ing membrano within the nose. As a
rule, if severe headache Is present, It
means that the "cold" is accompanied
by an extension of the Inflammation
to one or, more of the cavities in the
skull connected with the nose, the
so-called , sinuses, of which the an
trum, or sinus situated in tho upper
jaw, Is most often Involved.
For the "treating" of colds, many
remedies have- been used, but we
know that an acute cold Is a self
limited disease which usually ends
in from 8 to 8 days unless some com
plication, such as a sinusitis, occurs.
Therefore, simple, old-fashioned meas
ures, such as taking . a cathartic,
then a hot drink to cause free, per
spiration, will be sufficient. Xf head-
ache or muscular pains ore present
some of tho salicylates in amounts
proportional to the age of the patient
may bo used.,
Tho interior of the nose is often
relieved by applying somo of the min
eral oil so often used as a laxative.
Tho complications which may arise
during the course of a cold are usu-
nllir rliiA tn nr. nVranclIrl rf tVlril In.
rin ,ha H.t.. in
there l8 usually headache, tenderness
over certain parts of tne nead, a ais-
'chor8 ot ye!ow OT sreenish yellow
pus and at times some lever. At ocner
times, and ospeclally In children, the
infection extends back to the nasoph
arynx, namely that upper portion of
tho throat into wnicn me nose opens.
In this roc Ion, wo may have the
i so-called adenoids, a mass of soft
lymphoid tissue which Is present at
birth and which Is oiten very large
In young children. In this region is
likewise tho opening of the eustachian
tube, which runB to the middle ear.
If the. adenoid tissue swells the pas
sage of air through tho nose is fur
ther blocked ond the patient is com
Dclled to breathe with open mouth,
causing great discomfort, because of
its drying effect on the lips, mouth
and throat.
But much more serious Is the ex
tension of infection from the adenoid,
or Its vicinity, to the middle ear,
which la very painful and may have
serious results, such as a mastoiditis.
If the infection In the upper part
of the throat extends downward, we
got a soro throat (with or without
tonal litis) with pain ou swallowing,
swelling of the glands of the neck,
fever, etc. If the Inflammation goes
still further down, we get an Involvement-
of tho larynx with Its vocal
cords so that thero is hoarseness or
even complete loss of the voice for
the time bolng. Tho troublo may ex
tend still further down along the
lining membrano of the trachea, or
windpipe, to the bronchial tubes In
tho lungs, causing cough and ex
pectoration. So we see that while most colds
are self-limited and do not cause seri
ous difficulties, they may and fairly j
often do. especially when a seveve in- j
fectlon like on epidemic of llu is;
present.
The prevention of the so-called
colds has been much sought but thus
far no definite dependable measure
has been found.

Tho average man, washing his hands
in warm, oiear water, contributes
about 1,600.000 organisms from that
source alone. In warm, soapy water,
his contribution rises to 4.000.000 or
ganisms. This indicates that soapy
water is more than two and a half
times as effectlvo as worm water with

tive as cold water without soap.
