"Wha'D'y' Mean fWaysnd Mean??!' j Oregon Goes to School AT the season of the year when youngsters are bursting in the front door throwing the books in a corner and '"'shouting that; school's over, their fathers and mothers and ' elder brothers and sisters are taking a turn at school. Most all adult Oregon has been studying the book the past few weeks; and taking an examination on what they have learned. Then if they qualify and pay the necessary fee they get a license to operate a motor vehicle. Tomorrow is the last day of the "school" for renewal of licenses at the 50 cent fee. It is quite an experience for folk who haven't answered questions with pen and ink for forty years. The brain doesn't click like it did back in the old schoolhouse when , you were accustomed to the Friday spell-down or the term test. You read the book and think you know all that is in it; but when there is a sheet of white paper in front of you with printed questions and writing spaces on it, you feel sort of queer and your mind goes blank. Then you gather your wits together and the test turns out to be not so fearsome after all. Bill Hammond of the secretary of state's office is the state schoolmaster these days. Visit his examination room and you will find the busiest place in Salem. Queues reach , far down the hall. Mervand women are writing at little f tables and taking eye tests to demonstrate their capacity '. to drive motor cars with safety to themselves and the gen eral public. Dairy men in blue striped overalls, bald-headed clerks scratching the bald spot over some hard questions, mothers with children sitting on their laps, young saplings of "boys who drive bugs and motorcycles, wood-haulers, town bankers, All taking the examination ; and serious about it too, for they want to qualify to operate their automobiles. ' The periodic round-up is a good thing. If there is one class of laws which the people need to have working knowl edge of it is the motor laws. Of course knowledge of the law is no substitute for carelessness or absent-mindedness in, driving; but; at least it eliminates one hazard: ignorance of the rules of the road. Peoples have shown a good spirit in taking the tests; and the examinations have not been hard-boiled. This examination ought to be a contributing factor in the campaign for highway safety. Death in Forest Camp DEATH held the oars of the frail craft which was used at the forest camp on the North Santiam and two young men, one an enlisted member of tire citizens' con servation corps, and the other a skilled forest worker, were swept to death in the swift, chill waters of the river. It was the first tragedy of the forest camps, at least in these re gions. The news of it will tighten the heartstrings in many a home where young men have gone forth for this service. These camps have been likened somewhat to army camps, and for a time the men were under army discipline; may yet be in fact. While not a military body at all, there is yet a similarity to the -recruiting of men and shipping them off by trainloads during the days of the World war. But how different is the attitude of the people. In 1917 there was- the fever of war excitement. People traveled hundreds of miles to see Camp Lewis or other army posts. riviiiflTi nro-anirations were formed to provide entertain ment for men in the camps. "Nothing too good for the snMiorx" was the sentiment of the day. Kftw OrPtmnians and westerners are quite indifferent J to the locating of scores of these forest camps throughout the-western forests, borne nave Deen a unie uppity auoui. it, fearing that the scum of the cities was being deposited in tM virtrin countrv. Not a single move has been made ' to extend a greeting to these young men who are having a great new experience in camping out in tne wooas. member of the camD on the North Santiam, from Chicago, is quoted as wondering what the people there do for entertainment of nights. No bright lights of Clark street are shining on the Elkhorn road; and the mountains nhn no strains from a Halsted street cabaret orchestra. The west is west; and the solemn woods are not Chicago or HAholcen. But if the west is faithful to its reputation for hospitality it should manifest seme interest in the young I mn in Mimm camDS. They are Americans, the same as the w nf i rmv ramns of 1917-M18. and are full of health I and vigor and normal interests. Our people should endeavor I to get acquainted with the camps, provide the men with reading material, otfer tnem some diversion irom me wu 'tins rf fnrf.'1if a. This accidental drowning of two of the youth in the camp may stir the people to attention. Give the young men .a western welcome. . Mrs. Roosevelt was on the spot in Texas when "Ma" Ferguson and husband Jim tried to get her to stand be tween them for a picture.- Or rather she didn't get on the spot. It was a hot spot all right, for -Texas is split wide . open on the Fergusons; and it would have been a big feather in their hats to have the first lady of the land pose with them. Mrs. Roosevelt had her spunk however and declined, though her excuse was a bit lame. One way she can avoid such embarrassing moments is to keep away from the wide open spaces. She hasn't spent much more time in the White House than the governor of Oregon does at his office in the state capitol. - - So Salem gets its beer. Considerinar that the m-esident and congress have endorsed nullification of the 18th amend ment via modification of the Volstead act, it is not surpris ing that the' city council should shut its eyes to the lan guage of the city charter, even though there were only eight weeks to go. And the drive for repeal goes on. so that the sale of hard liquor may soon be legalized. The friends of "true temperance? and of "prohibition reform" are showing up just as plain, old-fashioned wets; and they will soon be endorsing return oi me saioon. : -lUlfMr 1- ! ! iM WAYS AMD MEANS i : .;!? - ' COMMITTEE? fl ?

The reader will note that he then lack ed threV months of 14 years of age. He remained on this vessel until early in 1838, when he was transferred to the Peacock, a sloop of war; one of the four ves sels assigned to Capt Wilkes by order of the secretary of war March 20. 1838, to make up the fleet of the famous exploring ex pedition, xoung Mountain re mained on the Peacock until she was lost; but all the officers and crew saved.

Daily Health Talki By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. Dr. Copeiand . By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States senator from Nsw York Former Cowimiteioner of Health, New York City IT IS often difficult to discover the cause of Illness In an adult It Is doubly hard to do so In a child too young- accurately to describe his dis comfort or to lo cate the seat of bis ailment For example, a child who suffers from a stomach ache may be the victim of ona -of many sertoua disorders. Too often parent disrexard the seriousness ot this complaint They think tt Is no more than an "apset stomach." This negugenco would not be so bad If the parent did not make the further mistake of giving castor oil. or some other strong purge, in as effort to cure the stomachache. Let me warn yon against the tue of cas tor on or any other laxative when vague abdominal pain is present May Bo AppMdMx why do X object to the we of a laxative when the child complains of a pain In bis "tummy"? Because the pain may be due to ma Inflamed or Infected appendix. Pain la nature's warning. The In flammation may subside if tho In fected tlsues are kept quiet and not Irritated. But, If a dose of castor oil Is given, the Intestines are stimulated Into activity and the appendix may rupture. In a recent survey of cases of rup tured appendix It was-found that In most Instances the rapture could be traced to the use of castor B. Everyone knows that a ruptured ap pendix Is more difficult to deal with than a simple Inflamed . appendix. Evea though surgery I resorted to. the victim of a ruptured appendix runs a stormy and possibly a fatal course. !- The pain Is not always due to ap pendicitis. It may com from aa fa- taaunal obstruction. This occurs when parts of th intestine become twisted upon each other. Due to this twist the supply of blood Is cut off. the ceils of the Intestine die and gangrene results. When this occurs, time is precious sad tha lilc of tba 1 small victim can only be saved by early recognition of th disorder and Immediate operation. I do not wish to upset you. My desire is to be helpful. X am sure you wfil not forget It Is unsafe to give castor oil for such symptoms. or to trust to home medication. If ia Doubt, Call Doctor Of course, abdominal pain may aot be of a serious nature. In the ma jority of cases It is not It may b no more than old-fashioned colle. CoUo can usually b traced to th eating of Indigestible food. In these diarrhea Is likely to be present and the physician win have a thought of demanding o pel at fun. But do not forget that even though you know your child has been eating green apple or other foods difficult to digest, tne pain may be due to appendicitis and not to simple colic. It U usually the taking of this typ of food that precipitate aa attack ot appendicitis. Fleas bear la mind that stomach ache or abdominal pain is not al ways due to troubto ia th digasUv organs. Th symptoms may arise from remote causes, such a decayed teeth, sore throat diseased spin, or a focus of Infection aomewher ls. Each case demands different treat ment This treatment can only b determined by a physician. Do not rely upon your owa Judgment la cor recting thaa disturbances, tor delay may be dangerous.
