The Law of the Jungle" HAS civilization passed its apex, now to go down to the barbarism from, which it sprang? Magnificent cities, beautiful churches and homes, great universities, these are the outward signs of the heights which man has attained. But the life that moves in these city streets, in these indus tries, what of the life? Sunday a man entered a speakeasy in Chicago and ord ered a beer. He did not drink his beer nor pick up his change. He ran out but he left-three dead men behind, henchmen, of xxi r gunman ikiu uune ins uay a wuiji. uc xcuu which seems to grip Chicago in vice-like grasp claimed three more victims. Was it war over the beer pones effort to intrench himself in political power, thus add - ing political spoils to his profits from control of illegal traf fic ? Was it war over Capone's intrusion into labor union af fairs, merging a. new racket with his own? Perhaps the lat ter, for one of the victims had attended a meeting of the Bread, Cracker, Yeast and Pie Wagon Drivers' union the night before. But it is the evidence of the law of the jungle. Gang murders, killings of professional gunmen, what are they but signs of reversion to jungle law? Chicago seems but the trop ic forest where rival and. bloodthirsty gangs range freely with no law but the law of survival. Organized forces of society seem powerless especially when agencies of government form links with the lords of the jungle. Is this an augury of social decay, or the collapse of social organization? One sometimes thinks so. The jungle has a way of reclaiming the clearing. Perhaps mankind too will find itself incapable of maintaining a. social organization except on the basis of jungle law. Wars are the rather refined manifestations of primitive bellicose instincts. Gang murder is the frank acknowledgement of barbarism. The setting of firea at Ohio state prison with their toll of over 300 dead is another outbreak of the beast in man. One can scarcely conceive of beings so depraved as to start fires knowing that the ones to suffer most would be their own comrades in misery. It is either the most primitive in stinct of revenge, an anti-social hatred or a blind destruct iveness which thejr hopeless situation induces. which prompts such a revolting deed, Society has. gone along in recent decades on the theory that bad men in prison were not wholly bad, that the spark of good might be fanned into a flame, that the individual might be reformed into a useful member of society. That still is the belief of the, sociologists, but the happenings of recent months in the revolts within prison waBs, makes one wonder if these theories are-correct, it mantis nqfcyet inerely a say age and civilization and moral control but a veneer. We are not ready yet to yield to jungle law, nor to the theory that man's animal nature is going to dominate. Our social evolution has, gone too far; .the valae of social order through law and government has justified itself too com pletely to permit us to surrender the field now. But it is in creasingly evident that society must pay more regard to the business of govern jngnd less to business profits if it is go ing to preerve itself 'against the control of thoe who recog nize only the law of the jungle. ASong ' War THE coast knows what a "tong war" is. A "song war" is something new, Ope seems impending because Warner Brothers have withdrawn from NBC the privilege of broad casting some of its song hits. The supposition is that Warn er's believes that NBC has been showing favoritism to the song hits of its rival, Radio-Keith-Orpheum, which is denied by NBC. Controlling the song industry has become as important as patent rights in movietones. A breezy song "makes" the talkie and the aerial broadcast helps make the song. "The Gold pigers," which had grossed at .repent date two and a half million doflars, marje.its big success on 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips." To insure its supply ol "rawm4terial" Warner's last year, spent t$ll0v,0Q0 to buy the controlling interest in RemicJc, Wittmajk, Harms and other big music publishing houses, which forced, other producing organizations into mak ing similar investments. For instance, NBC controls Leo Feist, Inc., and Carl Fischer, Inc. m If a usong war'.' is to develop it, wiH.be interestingTto watch th emode-of attack.

Oh snch sweltering; sum mer's day you of tew hear the remark, "It isn't the neat. It is the humidity that's so awful." As a matter of fact. tne - discomfort is the effect of both heat and humidity, plus the high pitlse rate eaused by. both of tnem. What happens when a person Is "siinstruck" or "heartsick?" Tne .heat causes the temoera- iure mi tife body to rise, as well as the temperature of the blood. It the lieat is continued long en ough tne blood vessels become paralyzed. The blood accumulates in the dilated veins and lanes. The pumping action of the heart is lessened,, not being enough to anve tne brood ail around the body. . The attack may begin with headache, , fainlness, weakness and dizziness. The pulse becomes quite rapid. Usually the skin is hot and dry. Delirium may follow. Let there be no delay. In treat ing the patient, for death may re-. suit unless speedy help is given. The temperature must be lowered and the heart stimulated. First loosen or remove the cloth ing and sprinkle or sponge tho body with cold water.. If possible the patient should be put Into s, bathtub of- cold, water, mnirtng sura ; inat cold bandages are apt puea. la me neaa. After this keep the body cool and the extremities warm.

He often told his students that the study of medicine was a science, and the practice of it ah art; and he re peated constantly the injunction that a doctor should be a little doctor and a little politician; meaning that one who did com munity work in curing people of their physical ills ought also to perform community services in Editorial Comment From Other Papers THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SALT rr a io ceuier a campaign tor na tional independence about an ef- rort to make salt out of sea water seems a little ridiculous to the modern Western mind; we forget ioai our language and tradition gave salt as- central a place In our life as It seems to have In Gand hi s India.

So ho : served ' Marion county through five sessions ot the legis lature, and was In other ways ao. tlrt to' tile political issues of the day. He was ready at all times to stand up ap.d -give an account of -himself according to his lights, deeming It his duty to be a good citizen while performing faithful ly bis professional- responsibilities. V V Nor did he forget that he must be a student as well as a teacher; and so he kept abreast of the times in a wide field. Thus, when he became superintendent of the institution for -the feeble minded, he added to his knowledge of the ordinary duties of that position a course of sesearch work that led him to a position of high author ity in that-field, which was new when -he entered It. V He estimated. In 1920. that Oregon had "perhaps 2000 of the 300,000, feeble minded persons then counted to be In the United States. He atrreed with exDerta that "feeble mfadedness is larea- ly hereditary," and that "if seg regation were possible and propa gation prevented, the curse mfpht be wiped out In 30 years." The population of thd-Oregon Institu tion was then around 500. Dr. Smith became active in rr.n. rying theory into practice, rn 1922 he said In his reDort! p.-.a. ble mindedness is recognised by those who have studied it most carefully, as a very grave menars to society," and that "the two ways of preventing its spread and of ultimately stamping It out are sterilization and confinement where the afflicted.wlll be under constant surveillance," and that since the district court of Marion county had decided the steriliza tion law,, as amended by the leg. islature of 1919, was unconstitu. naJ' 14 was lmPrtnt to pro vide more room to accommodate the waiting lists then constant ! on hand. V In 1924. Dt. Smith rnnrtH t.i the state board of control: "Tha new sterilization law, passed by the last legislature, has been a great benefit to this institution la making possible the- release of a few patients.
