, A man asked to define the essential characteristics
of a gentleman using the term in its widest sense
would presumably reply, "The will to put himself in the
place of others; the horror of forcing others into positions
from which he would himself recoil; the power to do what
seems to him to be right, without considering what others
may say or think." -John Galsworthy. .
Hoover and
OUR troubles with Latin America result from failure to
understand one another. Every move upon the part of
either is subject to a sinster interpretation. Our soutnern
neighbors feel that we are using the Monroe Doctrine as a
giant club to beat down resistance to a dominance demanded
by the United States in American affairs. It is also accepted
without proof thjat this position is maintained to protect ruth
less exploitation of the resources of the Latin Americas by
United States capital. " ..... .
Large sections of the Latin press have urged intimate
commercial and economic relations with Europe as the only
means of escape from the grasping Yankee power. A good
will visit from our president-elect going with the official
backing of his country will open friendly contacts and ac
quaintance which will do more to kill the suspicion and ill
will existing between the United States and her Latin sisters
than the work of a generation of publicists and it promises
large returns in friendship, under the new administration.
We feel it to be indicative of the fine handling international
"relations will receive from the man who upon entering the
White House is already known a3 a world statesman.
"It"
NOT the moving picture actresses and actors pnly must
have what Eleanor Glyn once defined as "it" to forge
ahead to success. This over-worked pronoun may denote
sex appeal, "menace," personal beauty or grace or what you
will in the case of the screen folk
It may have a different meaning in business, big or
little. President Moskovics of a well known automobile man
ufacturing concern tells Printer's Ink magazine that his
company picks for dealers men who have "it," listing the fol
lowing: "Ability to absorb and impart enthusiasm; to work con
stantly and not by spurts; love for his job to the extent of
rather doing it than anything else in the worjd; ability to
work up a frenzy of belief and yet remain calm and cool in
thinking; and in addition honesty and integrity and a sense
of thankful obligation to the customer."
A large order; sounds to one with an inferiority com
plex like a call for gods or supermen for salesmen
But the specifications are all needed in the ideal seller
'of goods. And they are needed in community life. Salem
needs them in city building. We might call the tf of prog
ress for our section and city the California spirit.
Without any question, Salem would grow very rapidly
towards 100,000 population, and more, and this valley to
wards ten millions and more,
keep the "it" complex concerning our potential possibilities ;
our natural advantages for development above any section
of like extent in all the wide world.
Do you get "it?"
Books at the Fireside
Afire on the hearth, an easy chair, and a good book make
possible perfect satisfaction. The occasional sound of
the driving rain beating against the windows adds the touch
of perfection. We feel at such a time that we possess our home
in a sense not equalled at any other time. It is our world and
exists to minister to our best being. In the full sense of pos
session we bring the magic of the open book to serve us.
At our fire side we may will to sail tropic seas or wear
our way through Arctic ice, we may choose to live in all but
forgotten ages, or we may choose to chat with men who dom
inate nations or industry, and we do it through the open
pages of our book. The book with the library stamp will do
anything that the one with our own name scrawled on the fly
leaf will do except in becoming a permanent resident at our
fireside to stir often the memories of our joy and to be ever
ready to share with a friend its magic way to contentment
and inspiration.
We need to gather many book friends about our hearth
to make it a real home. There can be houses, but not homes,
without books. This is national book week, why not pick up
the book pages of Forum, or other magazines of its type and
select some books so richly offered therein and bring them as
ministers of joy to our fireside.
Sumptuary Laws
HxTEW YORK is establishincr
It is designed to keep broadcasting stations from dev
iating from their allotted wave lengths and from sneaking
out of bounds. Only 500 cycles of variation will be permitted,
and woe to the station that goes beyond that pale. Though
somebody is forever saying that we have more laws than we
know what to do with, we are doomed for a new code dealing
with the air
And we are due to listen to objections from hose who
hold to the age-old standard of general anathema for sump
tuary laws. If it is wrong to
to wear or eat or drink, or not
will be those who will defend
the air.
Theoretically, one objecting to sumptuary laws is right
He would be right if he were

woman, each one must give up some of his or her natural
rights in the interest of society.

And Mr. Hoover will return with knowledge that will be
worth millions annually to our nationals doing business in
South and Central America and Mexico; to put it on that

And the extra cost of his keep on a battle ship will be

And it holds the boards in Sa

congress holding over today and
tomorrow.
It includes irrigation, which is
as important for the Willamette
valley as It is for the dry dis
tricts of eastern Oregon, for this
section is as dry as theirs in most
years in June, July and August.
And the state of Oregon is
one state. What helps one part
helps all parts. The matter of
irrigation and its problems
should be worked out on liberal
and constructive lines, with a
view to the Vest interests of the
whole state.
Even with the lame duck pro
jects, the whole state can afford
to be sympathetic and helpful,
even to the extent of liberality;
even at some losses or risks of
losses.

MAYO ON CANCER
Yon cannot pick up newspapers
from fiTe different cities without
finding many ! news Items con
cerning .health. Shrewd editors
want news of this type.

progress against cancer is being
made, thanks to surgery and ra
dium, the-news la given generous

Tour health news. It concerns
themselves, the chief subject in
which they are Interested.
PROOF
Testimony on how the average
person, reads health items is giv
en by Dr. George H. Bigelow, Mas
sachusetts health commissioner.
Dr. Bigelow says three-fourths or
th neonle who went to Massa
chusetts' cancer clinics did so be -
cause of newspaper articles.
MOVIES
This column is printed in black
ink on white paper. Do you real
ize this is a happy combination
of color for eye health? If you
don't think so make a practical
test. Read colored printed mat
ter, such as bill board or circular
advertisements, for an hour. Then
read your newspaper for an hour.
You will discover that the DiacK
newspaper print Is much less tir
ing to your eyes than the loud-
colored circulars.
The men who are making mov
ies out In Hollywood have been re
taining eye specialists to solve
the problems of the movies relat
ing to the eyes. They want you
to feel that It Is less fatiguing to
watch a movie for three hours
than to stay home and read a
book.
GOODBYE DIPPERS
Health is dictating a change In
the Ice cream industry. More and
more, ice cream is being sold in
individually wrapped packages
and less by the dipper. The pub

tain clerks are not careful to
keep the dippers clean.
GROUCHES
Other things disturb our health.
Politics, fashion and the nervous
excitement under which we live
contribute to grouches and head
aches. Polities often prevent
our health commissioners from
functioning efficiently. Fashion
reacts on the birthrate, and ir

Every adult should have at
least two glasses of milk a day.
It is needed tor Its complete pro
tein and calcium (lime). You
can take with : benefit, a quart
each day. In fact, you can go
on an exclusive milk diet and if
you get the rest that is prescribed
with the milk diet, you will prob
ably gain rapidly. Of course,
that would mean that you would
have to have sufficient milk to
make your calories run over your
maintenance diet. (One quart
of mUk is 640 calories).
On a milk diet, as Tiigh as six
or seven quarts are given, a cer
tain amount taken every half
hourt If you haven't the time
and are not so situated that you
can take the milk diet, then you
can certainly add more milk to
your regular diet You can take
glassful between meals and one
before going to bed, and you can
drink milk instead of tea or cof-
fee at your meals. It you don't
like milk, learn to like it.
