Today's Talk 1
By R. S. Copeland, M. D.
What to Wear
. years gone by, though not so dreadfully long ago but
1 what matrons who still are eligible to the young ladies
guilds in the churches can remember, styles were propa
gated by publication. They originated in Paris as indeed they
still do, although Hollywood makes bold at times to challenge
. Deauville. But they came to Marshalltown and Waco and
Evansville bv way of the illustrated monthly magazine. Har
per's Bazaar was the Vanity Fair and Vogue of yester-year;
with McCalls and Butterick's and the Delineator percolating
fashions to the masses. When the April issue arrived about
the first of March milady would study it for a week, then
go a-shbpping to learn when the new fabrics and patterns
might be in the dry goods stores. On lucky chance they
may have arrived : more commonly they were "on the road"
to be in when the slow-moving freight deposited its miscel
lany of boxes at the depot.
Styles are no longer dependent on maga'zines nor mer
chandise on local freight trains. Now the lady reads in her
magazine this afternoon about the frock which she saw in
the apparel store this mormng. Swifter buying methods and
express shipments have made the stores the diffusers of In
formation about the styles, anticipating the gay illustrations
of the magazines save for those with a penchant for dipping
far into the future.
How do the stores know what to buy? They do know,
for charts and graphs and percentages and ratios have reach
ed the merchandise marts. No more does the sto ekeeper de
pend on what Marshall Fields man may tell him on his semi
annual visits; nor does Ely, Walker s salesman, give him the
true picture f what to buy. Special services in New York
speed the information daily by telegraph to the larger stores,
or by weekly bulletins to the smaller stores. And the infor
mation they get is the result of laborious checking and tabu
lating. One representative of a fashion service may be clock
ing (counting with a stop watch) the snug-fitting blouse
which she sees the women on Park avenue wearing. Another
may "be studying the windows at Macy's or. at Hudson's in
Detroit, to see the trends of the newer things. Another may
b3 visiting the exclusive tea rooms or the theatres, where
ladies of- social rank set the stamp of approval upon the
node. The whole information is assembled and studied and
tabulated and judgment drawn from it. It is a sort of Bab
son's service for the store-keeper. Like Babson's it may go
awry ; but by and large the merchant must depend upon some
such service to plan his buying and his selling. As two writ
ers who contribute an article on "Charting the Fashions" in
the .current Atlantic Monthly say:
"There's nothing new under the sun and never was, but the de
signer lives and flourishes by knowing when the old is old enough
to be new again, and what manner of ingratiating detail it may at
tempt by way of disguise. And the fashion analyst, watching these
attempts and their, failure or success. Is the merchant's barometer,
loretelling with a gratifying percentage of accuracy the sunshiny
styles which will become fashion and the stormy ones to be avoided
this side of signing orders on the dotted line."
We should be thankful for changing fashions. They help
to keep os young. Lacking them how barren life would be
and how dull and drab the social scene.
Greeks Bearing Gifts
IN their zeal for preservation of roadside beauty the wom
en's clubs of the state and country need to be on their
guard lest they fall victims to the stealthy plans of compet
itors of billboard advertising. For instance, we note the Sat
urday Evening Post in an editorial egging the women on in
their new crusade. On the surface the position of the Post
may seem quite plausible, a sincere desire to preserve the
beauties of the rural scene. At the same time the women i
ought to remember that the Post comes into the sharpest j
kind of competition with the billboards for advertising. It is i
keener than newspaper competition because the newspapers
liave a somewhat different emphasis. When a big company
makes an appropriation for advertising it usually splits it
among newspapers, magazines, outdoor and radio. If through
propaganda against the outdoor panels and through legisla
tion against erection of billboards the appropriation for out
door advertising is wiped out or reduced, then it is easy to
see that the magazines in particular would hope to have their
allotments greatly increased.
The Curtis Publishing company with its formidable list
of publications may not be wholly disinterested and entirely
ingenuous in agitating against the disfigurement of the land
scape by billboards. Newspapers too need to be chary in en
gaging in wholesale condemnations lest they be accused of
nixing business malice with public service. And our . good
friends the ladies most be wary that they be not caught in
the trap and made tools of jealous competitors of outdoor ad
vertising. Even with legislation that is designed to be restrictive
there must be education to beautify the countryside lest our
roads be made into ribbons with slum borders. Flowers In
the dooryard, painton the barns, fences in repair are quite
as impressive in their way as a sylvan scene or a marine
sunset.
Vertigo is a sensation of gid
diness in the head. There is a
swimming: sensation, the sur
round la a; ob
jects seeming
'to whirl in
space. There is
staggering and
uncertainty of
the body bal
ance. If yon
once experience
it, you do not
forget the feel
ing of vertigo. .
Someone has
compared the
sensation with
that experien-1
ced in an earth
quake. Well, I
no vwelano never naa tae
experience of
feeling an 'earthquake beneath
me. I cannot add my testimony to
tnis, but I think it must be true
verugo is a prominent symp
tom, often connected with dis
eases of the small brain, or "cer
ebellum." This is the part of the
brain controlling the movements
by which we maintain the erect
position.
There is a disease called "Men
iere's disease," an affection of the
internal ear, which is unpleasant
and very serious. This ailment Is
accompanied by vertigo.
Vertigo may occur when cer
tain muscles which move the
eyes are paralyzed momentarily.
The eyes are disturbed in their re
lationship to each other. Their
team work is disturbed. The ef
fect is particularly noticed In the
movement associated with rela
tion of the head.
There are certain physical con-
ditions that will produce vertigo.
The most common cause, perhaps.
13 some form of Indigestion or in
testinal disturbance. Constipa
tion is present la almost' every
case.
It is a pity that the d tees tire
and eliminative organs are so ne
glected. I doubt if any other part
or me nooy is so disregarded as
tne digestive tract.
ine average person make av
plaything of the stomach. With
out the slightest hesitation there
go into this patient organ the
most doubtful dishes. It Is gives
contaminated milk, shellfish from
unknown sources, huge quantities
or pastry before going to bed at
night, bootleg liquor, and other
evil things. And yet we wonder
what cause dour gastric disturb
ance.
v hen you have an attack of
vertigo it is time to find out what
is wrong. If it i3 due to dlges
tive trouble, that is readily reme
died. If it is due to heart or
blood vessel trouble. It will be
more difficult to overcome but
your doctor will help you.
Sometimes persons will take a
too powerful drug through Ignor
ance of its nse. Vertigo and faint-
ness may follow the taking of
strong medicine. Never take
drugs unless they have been pre
scribed by a doctor.
Simple giddiness may be re
lieved by emptying the bowels.
An enema is the simplest way to
accomplish this purpose.
If you have an attack of ver
tigo, lie down and keep quiet.
When the face is flushed, support
the head and shoulders with sev
eral pillows; but If the face is
pale, use no pillows, and allow
the head to be a trifle lower than
the general level of the body.
By eating the proper foods and
by sensible living you should try
to get the digestive and other or
gans into a normal condition.
You will then be unlikely to have;
further attacks.

What Are Libraries For?
THE librarian at Grants Pass thinks the library is made
for the housing and the reading of books. She has a high
sense of the duties of her office and the function of the li
brary in the community. It must' not, so she has decreed, be
made a trysting place. Library dates are to be taboo hence
forth in Grants Pass. .Are the cavemen going to stand for
this?
Vicarious lovemaking is all right in the Grants Pass
reading room. One may read the novels and the dramas, read
- of great loves and famous lovers, though the "hews report
says that the librarian "has combed the shelves for books of
strong sex appeal and has placed such books on the adult
shelf." Otherwise one may read, we presume, Robert W.
Chambers and Harold Bell Wright and his heart-beat will
rise and fall with the fortunes of the hero and heroine. But
t Esther in the flesh may not meet the much-alive Ronald in

To the Editor:
After reading the platforms of
several of the candidates for gov
ernor -of Oregon, I became Im
pressed with the contrast of prin
ciples and purposes as set forth
by the aspirants.
Just to carry on, or speed up,
or step on the gas, as a slogan
to catch rotes, is of no Import at
the present time when the state
It in dire need of beneficial re
form, both moral and political.
Wast Oregta needs most Is in
dustries which will give hones!
employment t the home bonders.
wnica implies home ownership,
rather than the present system of
the exploitation of the many for
the purpose of the aggrandize
ment of the- few.
There is an unending Insatia
ble clamor for preference and ad
vantage rather than a desire tor
equality.
Never before have I had. the
prospective pportaalty to coop
erate la the defense and support
of democratic principles as were
set forth by Senator George W.
Joseph, republican candidate for
governor of the state of Oregon.
As I- see it there could be no
higher honor perpetuated to the
name of Senator Joseph than to
inaugurate and carry out the prin
ciples and purposes of his political

portant that Mr. Joseph's cam

CHAPTERrXII
jae water was sootninir as
heaven itself after the salt: but
she was not satisfied with mere
ly wading. She stood tor a lit
tie listening, gathering courage.
striving to pierce the shadows of
the bush about her with her eyes
These first months- of her mar
rlage had driven a measure of her
youth out of Faith. They had been
sober days and days more sober
stiU were yet to come, but for this
hour a gay Irresponsibility flood
ed her. She waded ashore, singing
under her breath; she began
swiftly to loosen her skirt at the
aist.
When the man came trotting
down the trail at last, shouting
ahead to her as ha came. Faith
was sitting demurely upon the
sand, clothed and in her right
mind. She was trying to appear
unconscious of the fact that
around the back of her neck and
her pink little ears wet tendrills
of hair were curling. When he
came in sight she rose gravely to
meet him and he looked at her
with quick, keen eyes, and laugh
ed. She turned red as flame.
"I don't blame you." he said.
'It's a beautiful pool."
She wanted to be angry with
him, but she conjd not. His
laughter was -Infectious; she
smiled at him. , -
"I couldnH resist it. she
said. t
She was studying the man. He
wore now, the accustomed gar
ments of a seaman, the clothes
which the men abpard the Sally
wore; they were harsh and awk
ward garments, but. they could not
hide the graceful strength of the
man. He was not so big as Noll,
she thought; cot even quite so big
as Dan'l Tobey. Yet there was
such symmetry in -his limbs and
the breadth of his shoulders that
he seemed a well-bulked man.-Hts
cheeks were lean and brown, and
his lips met with ei pleasant firm
ness. A man, naturally gay, she
thOQgbt; yet with strength in him.
They started down the path to
ward the sea together. He carried
eleth wrapped bundle swinging
In his hand.
"Who are you?" Faith asked,
looking at htm sidewise. "Bow de
yoa come to be here?
My name's Brander." he said.
! waa third mate a the Thomas
Morgan.-"
- She tried to remember a whaler
by that name.
"New Bedford?" she asked.
"No Nantucketfer."
Faith looked at him curtously.
"Butwhat happened? Was
she lost?" T
. Brander's face was sober; he
hesitated.
"No, not lost." he said.
He did not seem minded to go
on, and Faith asked again:
"What happened?"
He laughed uneasily.
"I left them," he said and again
seemed to wish td let the matter
rest, but Faith would not.
"Is there any reason why you
should not tell me all about it?"
she asked.
"No.
"Then tell me, please."
He threw up his free hand In a
gesture of surrender.
"All right." he said.
They were following the narrow
path down the stream's side
toward the sea. Faith was ahead,
Brander at her heels. After a mo
ment, he went on;
. "A man named Marks was the
skipper ef the Thomas Morgan.
I shipped aboard per as a seaman.
I'd had one cruise before, but not
with him. I shipped with him
ndl round out, within two days,
that I'd made a. mistake. Not that
they- were- hard on me. I knew
myrjeb, after a fashion, and they
let me alone. But the man had
a tough time of it. It was a tough
and his mate mate's name was
Trant, and I'd not like to meet
that man on a dark night. There
was murder in him the sheer
love of it. He was the sort of man
that will catch a shark just for
the fun of spiking the creature's
jaws and turning him loose again.
I was in Taku once. Saw a little
China boy catch a dragon-fly, tie
a twig to its tail and let it go. the
twig overbalanced the dragon-fly,
and it went straight up into the
air, as fast as it could. May be
going yet. That was the sort of
trick Trant would have liked. Not
that he ever actually killed a man
on this cruise. Better if he had,
for the men; but he didn't He
was a big fellow and heavy-fisted.
but he wasn't satisfied with the
list. The boot tor him!"
They were climbing a little
knoll in the path. He tell silent
while they climbed, and Faith
thought of Nou Wing and Mauger.
"Well," said Brander, "you
know how things drag along. We
dragged along. Then one day, we
touched. We'd gone around Into
the Japan Sea. Marks and Trant
walked up to the second mate and
took him between them into a
boat and went ashore. They came
back without him. He was a man
as big as Trant but he had crossed
Trant more than once. Trant had
a face that was cut to ribbons
when he came back aboard: but
the other man did not come back
at all. I never knew what the par
ticular quarrel was. They shoved
the third mate up o second, and
put me in as third. 'All right,' I
said to myself; 'but don't go to
sleep, Brander.' And I didn't."
He waved bis hand, a if to dis
miss what followed with a word.
Nevertheless, he went on:
There was a man in my boat
whom everyone called Leadfoot,
because, he was a slow-moving
man. I told him to keen out of
Trent's way. and I told Trant Jok
ingly one day to leave my men
alone. He was huffed at that;
growled at me." Brander chuckl
ed. "So I swelled up my chest
like a fighting cock and-told him
to keep hands off. Oh, I threw a
great bluff, I can ten you. But
Treat was not a coward. He wait
ed his time, and I knew he was
waiting.
And while he wafted he talked
U the captain, and I could see
them both whispering tcgethr.
They whispered about me. They
did not like to have me about;
and once Marks threatened to put
me oacK m the io'e's'le. but he
changed bis mind. .
se matter went tm we eame
past an - island to the north of
here forty or fifty miles. We made
that island at desk and worked
nearer it after darkness had fall
en. It- came on cloudy and dark.
i met Trant on deck and said to
him, "Do we go ashore here?"
He grinned at me with his teeth,
ana Dade me wait tul morning and
see. That was enough for me. I
knew what was coming. I thought
i wouia nurry it a little, but luck
hurried it for me in a way that
worked out very well.
The lead-footed man was at
th wheel. When the anchor went
down he started forward, and
brushed against Tratft. Trant may
have meant it to be so. Anyway,
Trant knocked Leadfoot flying,
and went after him with the boot.
Jumping, as lumbermen do. There
happened to be a belaying nln
handy, so I took it and cracked L-
irani ana ne dropped in mid-leap.
Then Marks Jumped me. I man?

head and lay still, but Trant waa

"The lead-footed man was yeU

overboard and swim for it. and
he did. Just then Trant got in the
way oi tne belaying pin 'again.
shrp, thnmgh and through. Mark, and thjs time he didn't seem to
want to get tip. There was some
confusion, you understand. I did
not stay to straighten things out.
I went over after Leadfoot. He
could swim like a porpoise. He
was ahead of me, hut half-way in
he met a shark and came clamor
ing back to me to be saved. I got
out of his way, for fear he would
drag us both under, and then I
kicked the shark. It went about
its business and we swam on.
They were too busy sluicing the
old man and Trant to come after
us in a boat. They could have
knocked us in the head with an
oar, but they didn't.
"However, Leadfoot took the
shark so seriously -that he swam
too fast or something of the sort.
Anyway, he keeled when we
touehed sand, and I felt him and
found that he was dead with heart
failure or the like. I didn't stop
to work oveV him. I could hear
Trant bellowing. He had come to
life and a boat was racing after
me. So I went into the bush and
stayed there till the Thomas
Morgan took herself off. After
that, not liking the island, which
was low and marshy, I borrowed
a native canoe and came over here
and I ve been here since."
They were within sound of the
rollers on the beach when he fin
ished. Faith was filling out the
gaps In his narrative from her own
understanding of the life aboard
a whaler. She could guess what
Brander must have endured? she
thought he had" done well to come
through it and still smile. She
thought he was a man.
They could see the surf throueh
the thinning bush when he said:
"You haven't told me how vou
happened to be aboard the Sally
Sims."
Faith herself had almost for
gotten. She remembered now, and
something like a chill of sorrow
swept her.
"I am Noll Wing's wife," she
said.
They eame out abruptly Into the
whiter glare f the beach. Mr.
Ham's boat was drawn up, n quarter-mile
away. Brander looked
toward it looked at Faith.
"Ah," he said quietly, and add
ed in a different tone: "then yoa

(To be continued)
Largely bunk:
'm
We are hearing from Switzer
land, France, Texas and other for
eign Darts protests against the
new tariff law. The Swiss watch
makers and other manufacturers
seem to think legislation in this
country ought to be for their spe
cial benefit, and French concerns
feel the same way about it. The
Texas yawp is on all fours with
the other democratic outcries, by
members of congress of that party
color who plug for the protection
of their various local industries,
then vote against the whole bill,
for political effect.
The greatest saving section of
the new tariff law is the one that
preserves the resiliency provisions
that were first inserted in the one
whose place it takes on the federal
statutes. The more it comes to be
used, the better for our country.
The whole tariff squabble in" this
country is largely bunk; a mess
that has trailed Its slimy length
since slavery days, when cotton
was king and the old south was
against the rest of the country on
account of its one crop, grown with
black labor. It never had any right
ful place in the politics of a united
country. It is an economical ques
tion! never was properly a politi
cal question.
m S m
The United States is the only
country that makes a political is
sue of the tariff. In England, when
any Industry needs protection, the
committee la council orders it, and
that is the end of it. When the
leaders in the British Isles, con
cluding, after the World War, that
their Insular country should be
come more nearly self sufficient in
sugar, decided to encourage sugar
beet growing, and the making of
sugar from the product, bounties
were offered both growers and
manufacturers, and the orders in
council lifted sugar duties over
night, so that the combined boun
ties and tariff amounted to more
than the wholesale prices of sugar
in New York-
S S
And there was not a word of
protest uttered by anybody in
Great Britain over the Increased
dsties, and there was practically
no opposition to the granting of
the bounties. The result was the
building of many factories In
England, Scotland and Wales, and
the planting of great areas to su
gar beets. And this in sections not
nearly as well adapted to large
per acre tonnage sugar beet sugar
growing with a high sucrose (sug
ar) content as are many scores of
thousands of acres in the Will
amette valley, with the aid of
cheaply supplied irrigation.
.
What right have the cherry
growers of France, Italy and Spain
to protest against a tariff that will
protect the cherry growers of Ore
gon, Washington and California, to
the inconvenience only of a mar-
achino trust in New York, and that
will tend to shifting of that kind
of manufacturing to the Pacific
coast? Surely, the Pacific coast
states are in the united States.
S
The time it has taken to pass a
tariff bill reflects a disgrace upon
the common sense and supposed
directness of the American people
In no other part of our govern
mental system has there grown up
a more gigantic mountain of fool
ishness than in the matter of mak
ing tariff laws. It is a hot air peak
of idiocy and futility.
S V
If President Hoover can get the
resiliency clauses to working with
out masses of red tape get them
to functioning so as to show up
in a manner even faintly compar
able to the methods of that bring
about the British orders in coun
cil, he will have accomplished a
great work, leading away from the
maze of an ancient evil that has
muddied the waters of American
polities, generations too long.
There is no animal in all crea
tion that has not made up a part
of the dietary of human beings;
not many that do not now so con

other shell fish, and the big bug
they eall the shrimp, and th legs
of frogs, and snails, etc., and yet
hare qualms of their gorges when
they think of the Indians eating
grasshoppers and horse and skunk
and snake, etc.,, etc.
S
The Lewis aud Clark party ate
horse, relished mule, grew fat on
buffalo, beaver and nearly all the
rest of the animal creation along
their route. They were reduced to
dogs, weBt of the Rockies; Indian
dogs that were likely not appetiz

alive.

It seems some Douglas county
people have been preparing goat
meat for the market and selling
it under the name of jerked veni
son, to which there is official ob
jection. There should be. The aver
age jerked goat is no doubt bet
ter than average jerked deer meat.
It is a matter merely of custom,
prejudice and taste.
S
Deer meat hi called veniaon.
sheep meat mutton, and, by the
up to oaie, goat meat is called
chevon. It should be sold as ehe-
voa, fresh, jerked or otherwiaa
dried or prepared.

There is no animal cleaner in

OXE WHO IS QUALIFIED
The Bulletin has heretofore
made mention of the qualifica
tions which It blieves the state
central committee sh'ould Insist
upon in selecting a republican
candidate for governor to succeed
the late George W. Joseph. It has
mentioned also oue man who has
been prominent In the puhlic eye.
who does not possess these quali
fications. It Is now proper to sug
gest the name of a man who doos
possess them.
The name fs that of Ralph s.
Hamilton of Bend, attorney,
speaker of the house of represen
tatives, president of the state
chamber of cemmerce, and acting
governor of the state of Oregon.
It will be recognized by those
who have followed closely tho
news of the last few days that
Mr. Hamilton has made no an
nouncement of any aspirations in
thi3 direction. That Is a point in
his favor. His attitude in this re
gard is in striking and pleasing
contrast to that of another Ore
gon governor whose imseenilv
haste has preriouslv been referred
