On trains and News Stands S ceata ; I Jobs by Jabbering , ' ' " UNEMPLOYMENT is now about to be solved by a new organization with powers to gather a lot. of statistics and publish them some months hence. This may give sten ogs and clerks some work but it doesn't! solve the general employment problem. Counting the number of unemployed doesn't get them jobs., Setting up labor bureaus doesn't start factories calling for more workers. In characteristic American fashion i when under the pressure to "do something," the government rushes in 'and sets up new administrative machinery ,; with offices and publicity experts. The real recovery will come within bus iness itself and not by political hot water bottles. We have employment" offices now: the trouble is to find jobs to send the men to. The labor bulletins at present read mostly "don't come here: many unemployed". The problem thus becomes chiefly a local one. We can't expect Washington to wave a wand and put all our labor in jobs. We will have to tackle that matter ourselves. If business would come the business gale is pretty hurricane, it does come to art t hand. The man with money and with unimpaired credit i a slacker if he doesn't hold up his end and go ahead with needed improvements and projects which will employ labor. . Business in America needs to go farther, and build up a structure that doesn't go to pieces in times of periodic popular brainstorms. Some companies are designed to give practically continuous employment and they are setting a fine example at the present time. Other concerns should do the same, going at even speed instead of by halts and jerks. The American business this out for itself without dependence on pulmotors from Washington. A Rainy Sunday l7HO does not love a rainy Sunday? Next to a bright, ITT dear, crisp Sunday we rainy. One calls you out into the open air. The other invites you to "hole in," to hover about your cozy chimney corner with a good book in hand. Last Sunday was such a day. The early sunshine was soon ,. ping clouds that trooped over The patter of rain on Streets empty of traffic, of leafless trees drenched in the own pour; the glimpse of the faithful, obedient to their re ligious duties spite of wind,and weather who does not love all which the rainy Sunday 'reveals ? ' It is really a lazy day, is a rainy Sunday. One may loaf and read and meditate without interruption. No one would be washing his car in the rain, nor pruning his vines, digg ing bulbs, mulching his roses for winter. He is usually quite safe from the visit of friends, who while welcome, some times intrude on one's plans for an afternoon. There is something old-fashioned about a rainy Sun jjay. Nature has not modernized herself at all. The sunshine re may mutilate with golf or motoring; but a rainy day wards off all tampering. As of old we stay indoors and watch the slanting rain as it falls without pause. The same rain we have always known,- falling the same way quick ins memories. ' Some think the "melancholy days have come"; but there is nothing really sad about the rain. It is as life-giving as the sun. And the rainy Sunday is about the only one pf the. Sabbaths left which rest". - Portland A ITER letting a number XjL without much inquiry. ing up the latest death, the customary ending of the not uncommon triangle affair, and magnifying it till it becomes a patent persecution of the survivors under color of an in quiry which is not even an There is so little that is wonders why there is all the stir, all the gearing-in of pond erous legal machinery, all the squalid publicity.

A. DOTJOLAS The Importance of Immuniza tion against diphtheria Is evident when we consider that abqnt on per, cent of the population at all . times are carriers of diphtheria ba cilli. It Is es timated from n n m orons throat culture which bare been made that around 2 per -cent of school children are carriers. Dar ing . epidemics It runs much Dr. V. A. Doasia Higher. - :, inese particular persons are fortunate in being immune to the diphtheria germ. But while they ai bejperfectly protected them selves, tbey can transmit the dis ease to ; others. Although a ear lier is far less dangerous at large than a case, there are many more carriers than active cases. The proper protection against carriers i means that ' everyone should become artificially im mune to this dangerous germ. As human beings we are already lm mune to many hundred types of bacteria. Some of these appear to be actually necessary for our existence. In time the race may become Immune naturally . to diphtheria. In the meantime let's protect our children by seeing that they, receive toxin anti-toxin Hundreds of children in Mar lon county have already received toxin antitoxin for protection against diphtheria. There are many hundreds yet to receive 'treatments, if diphtheria Is to be wiped out. Tour county and city realize i the seriousness of diph theria In offering toxin antitoxin to all children. Tour family phy sician is also prepared to do this but it Is especially important that children under five years become protected since most of :. the deaths occur In those ages. We will welcome any questions on diphtheria immunizations. Tonsils What are the functions of ton sils? This is a common question often raised In the minds of par ents of Marlon county. The ton slls were doubtless placed in the child s throat for some purpose. Further, any organ which has no function to perforn. soon ceases to be. This Is one of nature's fun damental laws. Nature creates no functlonless tissue. Among scientists it Is generally conceded that the full physiologi cal function of the tonsils is not known. The majority of investi gations are of the opinion, how ever, that the tonsils act as bar riers against infection of - the bronchi and lungs, especially ear ly in childhood. Others believe that they aid in supplying certain substances which help protect the young child against Infections un til such time as he can develop a more or less permanent' immun ity. Later in life with the im munity to many infectious organ isms developed, the normal ton alls cease to be needed further, and as a' result become very small. .. There are many other glands In the body which resemble the ton sils In microsplc structures. These are called lymph nodes. None of them., however, are exposed to such massive doses Of infections as are the. tonsils which are sit uated like advance guards ot an army on either side of the base of the tongue. - It Is on account of their loca tion undoubtedly that they often succumb themselves to the i at tacks ot the invaders. They be come the center tor extensive bac terial growth. Infectious mater ial and toxins are spread in small doses to all parts of the - body causing rheumatism, heart trou ble, malnutrition and many other ailments, i When this stage Is reached, any good which the tonsils can do is entirely over balanced by the damage being wrought by the in vaders who have taken, up the tonsils as an abodeo The only way to dislodge the harmful bac teria is to remove the tonsils. No one has been able to bring facts to show that the removal of tonsils under these conditions has ever done any great harm and in most instances good results. u A recent study has been made of 2000 high school children liv ing under similar : conditions at home and school; 100 of these had had their tonsils removed ten years previously. : The other 1000 aiioougn neeaing lonsu opera tions as bad still retained their tonsils.; '- 4, , Interesting results were record ed in the children who had had tonsils removed compared' to those who had not.

"But I don't understand how could yon know that I was here, Ar deth?" "I didn't know," she replied simply. "Bat I was sure. I saw you. I know tnat sounas ridicu lous, but I did.

I. was sitting like that. Sitting listening to the roar of the city and thinking 90 "I know what yon were think ing!" she whispered. "Oh, Ken, you wouldn't." His eyes wavered, went guilt ily to the window. He shook his bead and drew a long breath. No, of course not. Not really.

He caught her to him and his words were a groan. "Oh, Ar deth. this is hell." For a long moment they stood silent. Ken abruptly lilted nis head, put her away. ; "Ton must-go back dear. They will miss yon." "Oh, Ken , . . and leave you here alone!" There was heart break in her voice. "Oh, it'a cru el! It's wrong!" she broke out desperately. . .MA wicked waste!"

The petition went on to say that the British government had a surveying party In the terri tory north of tha Columbia, and it had been at work for two years. This Leslie petition, among other things, brought a United States naval expedition, under Capt. Charlee Wilkes; sailing from Norfolk. Va..

David .Leslie had a narrow es cape from death by drowning in 1828. Let H. K. Hlnes in his "Missionary History' tell it: "In the month of August the lonely missionaries at The Danes were cheered by tha arrival of Rev. David Leslie, who, it will be remembered, waa then . ln charge of the- Oregon missions, accompanied by Mrs. "White (Dr. Eli jab' White's wife) and her babe, tha first. whita mala child born in Oregon. . (Bancroft says he was born ln July, 1838, and that he was 11 months old at the time of his death. The Whites did not arrive ln Oregon until May, 1837; so Bancroft was more than a year wrong on the date of . the child's birth. (At least one other historian wrote that Mrs. Leslie was along In this visit) When tha cheering visit of a few days was over they re-embarked in their canoe for the Willamette. - They had to pass tha dangerous raplda ot tha Cascades. As they wera passing tha lower rapids they ran among the breakers; their canoe filled and they were instantly capsized, plunging them Into tha lashed and foaming river. Mr. Leslie. mougn unania to swim, seised hold of Mrs. . White with one hand and threw hia other arm orer. the canoe. An Indian on the other side of tha canoe seised tha hand thrown ova it. v and in thie way they floated tarouga ine rapids and down the river a mile when th rt te'reiehini tha shore. In cap sizing the canoe had covered the ana also the infant of Mrs. White.
