The Big End of the Telescope TITESTBROOK Peeler, the clown of iournalisrh. whose sa- .YV tire is frequently a delightful feature of the Oregon ian, has undertaken to analyze for obtuse citizens like our selves, the virtues of the latest experiment, "noble in pur pose", which a new administration is now launching in the U. S. A. Pegler ventures upon heresy when he turns his keen irony on this democratic counterpart of prohibition; because ninety per cent of the bankers and industrialists are throwing their hats in the air over this "new deal". Such unanimous support is what makes us severely critical of the plan ; for bankers are generally dumb and industrial ists always greedy. . The only way for an orthodox economist to go along with the president is by standing on his head. Pegler how ever makes that unnecessary by simply labeling the plan an "upside down plan". Here are his initial paragraphs: "Many persons 'will hare trouble understanding the upside down, plan of economic recovery whereby the government will reduce the cost of living upward because eleven million people find the present low cost too high. The upside-down plan may not be at fault,: however, as much as the mental habits of the citlxens who bare been accepting traditions as knowledge for many generations and cannot easily adjust themselves to new Ideas. "The right side up plan seems to have developed rather serious defects and it may be that the commissars have a bet- ter Idea after all. No government ever tried doing everything upside-down before and the scheme of paying cortain citizens to abstain from work, of spending one's way out of dabt and raising the cost of necessities to people who couldn't buy them even If they cost only half as much, has the merit of orisinality and possibly some other merits, too". Pegler 's may be a sour note; but this is not the first time in history when people profess to have seen a new heavens, by simply looking through the wrong end of the telescope. : The Last Romance Shattered SENTIMENTALISTS among the movie fans will shed some salty tears over the ending of the Mary Pickford romance with Douglas Fairbanks. This marriage soemed the answer to the complaints of Hollywood's marital instabili ties. Now it too has crumbled the same as the alliinces of the brothers Mdivani and Doug Fairbanks, Jr., arid Joan Crawford. Mary and Doug have grown old in the films; but after 14'years their paths separate; Just another Hollywood romance shattered on the rocks of incompatibility, j These rjerformers live in are not normal.: In their heyday Luxuries beyond their youthful fancies are lavished about them. Their whims are given the force of royal decree. Add to these factors the "artistic temperament" which seems naturally to attend persons of genius in the arts, and the reasons are apparent why love seems only a matter 01 ceuu lnM in those of the movie colony. There was hope for a time that the business deflation which affected the movie empire as well as other Tlines of husiness. misrht steal some of the false glamor and the daz zle which attended the sudden rise of Hollywood. It was thnuo-ht that shortened salaries mizht give a more whole some outlook on the real world to those who dwell in the heights of Beverly Hills. Why . shouldn't movie stars settle down to a distinct profession with lessened incomesj and less chance of the personal disaster which usually 'attends for rme nuirklv cainerl? The nrosDects seem dubious at the moment; for the old fever seems to be reviving. And for another thing, the press agents of the movie stars and their producers will not give them the privacy which normal liv- ; ing requires, j . The Eagle and the Sword HERR Hitler is still busy with his new deal for Germany. The newest deal is to change the art work on the Prus sian scutcheon. People iwall remember the old bird which adorned the Kaiser's stationery, riding pants and dinner plate. It was an up and coming bird, standing on its hind legs with its wings thrown back bravely. It had a scepter in one of 'its front legs and an orb in the other; or were these things balanced on its beak? ' Hitler, who has been busy chasing the Catholic orders around the lot and issuing orders to the Protestant churches to hoist the Nazi flag, has not neglected Prussian art. So he-is changing the Prussian eagle over. Instead of showing the Wrd with a scepter and an orb, the bird will henceforth "grasp a sword as a symbol of peace and a ray of lightning as a warning to enemies". We are sure the other nations will catch the signifi cance of the "sword as a symbol of peace". It has been that all down the ages. The World well remembers the German sword of 1914 and the kind of peace it started out to spread over jEurope. Hitler's sword looks very much like Wilhemi's sword, and the blade edge is quite as sharp. Perhaps in the German schools the copybook maxim: "The pen is mightier than the sword" will now be changed to: "The sword is the symbol of peace". ' The remainder of the world should extend its thanks to Herr Hitler however.) He spared it the hypocrisy of an olive branch in a turtle dove's mouth. ; Drownings instead of auto . accidents account for most of the fatalities of the July 4th holiday. Driving; or riding over S00 miles during the week-end and the holiday we failed to see a wreck, en countered no drunken or reckless drivers, and noted a very gen . eral observance of rules of the road. Perhaps people are learning v to avoid those short cuts to heaven which the 'auto can supply. The saloon is not going to temperance". So It seems; but have yon noticed the new neon "tavern signs along the highways?

United States senator from New York Former Committioner of Health. Kew York City RECENTLY NATIONWIDE Inter est was aroused by the story of two year -old Helen Vasko. This chud was the victim of a disease called -glioma," a ma lignant tumor of the eye. The parents of the child best, uted to allow the surgeons to operate. They feared she would not survive the operation and It was their belief that the malady might be cured without an op eration. But they were told ' the child's ZJr. Copeland life was doomed If operation was delayed. I am glad to say that consent was finally given and litUe Helen Is now comfortably convalescing. The operation was successfully performed and there is every reason to- believe- the life of the chud has been saved... Glioma la -rarely seen In adults, almost always appearing to Infancy and early childhood.

The opposite eye may become affected, The tumor is of the malignant va riety. It grows rapidly and like true cancer may find its way to remote parts of the body.

When recosnlzed In its early stages and proper surgical BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS- 4th of July In Salem, 1846: S (Continuing from yesterday.) W. G. T'Vault, orator of the day at the 1846 4th of July celebra tion in Salem, was unique in character; born in Arkansas, whence he removed to Illinois in 1843 and came across the plains to Oregon in 1845. He was cap tain (or colonel) of a covered wagon train of 61 wagons and SOO people starting from St. Jo seph, Mo.; John Waymire, lieu tenant, and James Allen, sergeant. He was a lawyer, energetic, adt venturous, foremost in many ex ploring expeditions; a strong par tisan with southern democratic proclivities. Possessing literary abilities, he had something to do with early newspapers, first with the Spectator, Oregon City, first newspaper west of the Missouri river, as president of the Oregon Printing association, and as its first editor; afterward as editor of the Table Rock Sentinel, first newspaper in southern Oregon, and later The Intelligencer. He was in the legislature of 1846. After Oregon became a territory, he served again in the legislature, and was speaker of the house in 1858. Twice he was prosecuting attorney of the first judicial dis trict, in which was Jackson ooun ty, to which he had removed after the discovery of gold in the Ro gue river valley, and held other public positions. When the mining' boom was at its height in Idaho. he was practicing law and editing the Index, in Silver City. Bancroft says in a note: "Toward the close of his life, he deteriorated through I the influence of his political as soclations, and lost caste with his measures are taken toe life of the victim can be saved. If overlooked or neglected, the afflicted eye la sooa destroyed, the tumor rapidly spreads and the disease Is then beyond the control of the surgeon. Removal of the Eye The operaUon consists of prompt and complete enucleation, or removal of the eyeball. Of course, this Is a drasUo operaUon, but it is the only means of saving the Uf e of the young sufferer. After removal of the eye. the child (s fitted with an artificial ya. This may be so perfect that it Is often dif ficult to distinguish the normal tye from the artificial one. ... X can appreciate and wen under stand the hesitancy of a mother who is asked to give permission for this operation. I hope it may never be necessary for the reader to make this decision. But If yon are confronted with this problem there la only one decision to make. . Immediate operation win save the vision of the normal eye. It win permit normal growth and develop ment of the child and prevent Ulti mate misery and anguish. This state ment Is borne out by the many let- tars sent to Mrs. Vasko from moth- era whose children had been af flicted hi a similar manner. Ajuwera to Health Queries E. J. 8. Q.

Truman Bonney was the great grandfather of the Bits man. When Col. T'Vault delivered the 4 th of July oration in the town that was beginning to be known as Salem, ho had just lost, or was about to lose, his position as ed itor of the Spectator, because he was too lenient with the Hudson's Bays company's Interests.

The south western Oregon coast Indian tribes were a scrappy lot, from the beginning of exploration and set tlement. Col. T'Vault was in the famous, campaign of 1858, when, in the zenith of his power, Joe Lane's supporters, after a hot fight, car ried the state by 214 majority, with qnly four whlgs elected to the legislature, two in each house all the rest -being democrats. In each judicial district a democratic prosecuting attorney was elected. Col. T'YauIt being one of them. That was the last such victory In Oregon for a long time. The re publican party was about to be organised, to combat the issue of slavery, threatening to 'bring on the war of the states that fol lowed. m Peter H. Burnett, who delivered the oration at Oregon City on the 4th of July of 87 years ago, had a greater career than that of the orator at Salem, Col. W. O. T'Vault. Ho came with the 1848 immi gration, leader of a largo-party from what was known as the Platto Purchase in Missouri. Ho was from Weston In that state. Jesse, Lindsay and Charles Ap plegate and Daniel Waldo wore leaders of another largo party, from St. Clair county, same state. Other parties, under T. D. Kaiser, Jesso Looney and Daniel Mathen ey swelled that epochal first coy. ered wagon train to cross the plains all the way to Oregon to an army of about 1000 men, women and children. Peter H. Burnett was elected captain In chief of the whole ag gregation, and J. W. Nesmith or derly sergeant, and nine council men were chosen to make and en force the rules as binding as laws. On the Big Blue river, Burnett re signed the chief command, and Wm. J. Martin was elected cap tain of ono column and Jesso Ap- piegato eaptain of another.
