Prof. Moleys Assiffnment HOME from London with his cheeks still smarting, Prof. Moley has been assigned a new chore, that of studvinflr , plans for fighting lawlessness in this country, especially kid- "ui""6 uu inv-rwt Lcciuijs. ii, ia a guuu assignment,, nrst, n will keen Mr. Moley from meddlincr in fields -where he ha no business, as when he tried to override his superior. Sec- retary Hull, at London. Second, it puts him at work in a . neid where he has knowledge. Moley's initial work that brought him fame was studies with respect to criminal law and Dunishment in Cleveland. His reports showed such discernment and understanding that he was called east to Columbia. His present task is one there fore, for which he is very well equipped. It is foolish to dismiss Prof. Moley as a college theorist. He is a man of vision, a student of affairs, who is making what he feels is a genuine contribution' to the welfare of -j his country. His ideas may need to be sifted; but his fine! mind and his spirit are such that the president does well to harness in the public interest. Walter Lippmann, in his daily syndicated article, points out the'difficulty of fighting the crime of kidnaping. As he ..; says: "In this category the most difficult crime to deal with is kidnaping, because the victim is so helpless. There can be little doubt that kidnaping would cease if the family and friends of the victim would be prevented from paying the ransom. But who has the heart to say that the Lindberghs should not have tried to ransom their baby or Mr. O'Connell his son? Who, It he were the victim, would be brave enough to say: 'Do not ran som me!' What Jury would conviefa father for 'compounding : a felony by ransoming his child? "Yet there is no doubt that the kidnapers flourish just be cause they know the families will pay and that the public au .. thorities will stand aside and give them a good chance to escape with the ransom. That is what makes the problem so poignant. There is no difficulty about arousing public sentiment for In flicting the death penalty on kidnapers. But first you have to catch the kidnaper, and how are you going to do that if the police have to stand aside while the family pays the ransom and meets the kidnaper's terms? The question is whether the American people are Spartan enough to enact and enforce laws which forbid private dealings with kidnapers, and therefore make kidnaping unprofitable, it seems like the right and the necessary thing to do, but it has the uncomfortable quality of being brave at some one else's expense.' Some new method of attack is what is needed. Prof. Moley's problem is to ferret out some new formula Which will end this season of crime. We shall not be at all sur prised if his fertile mind does not evolve some definite and worth-while method of safeguarding society from the talons of the kidnapers. 1 wM rS R-rwnrsna I more about you.' i. . t... a "I naver earned a respectable .

J. HENDRICES- Lumber Cut in Willamette Valley . THAT the decrease in lumber production in the Willam ette valley is not indicative of a waning timber supply or an impairedcapacity to produce is the conclusion of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment station, which recent ly completed a canvass of lumber production. While the, cut in the valley declined progressively from 1929 to 1932 as follows: 1929, a billion feet; 1930, 816 million; 1931, 591 million; 1932, 391 million, the decrease was in proportion to the decline in lumber cut throughout the northwest. The number of mills, in the valley increased from 245 in 1929 to 250 in 1932, although the number , active decreased from 227 to 147, owing to the general shutdown of the industry. Production losses have been about uniform for mills of large and small capacity. The past few years between 44 and x49 of the valley production has come from mills with daily ' capacities of from one to 75 thousand board feet, 11 to 16 from mills with capacities from 76 to 125 thousand, and be : tween 40 and -45 from mills of over 125 thousand feet ca Living in the cities of the valley we fail oftentimes to appreciate the importance of the lumber industry in the V economy of this region. It is still the great single industry of the valley. Belts of timber reaching up the sides of the mountains which border the valley will provide logs for - years and years to come; and under fair conditions for tree ' growth much of the logged over lands will again be pro ducing by the time the last stands of virgin timber are 1 reached. Tell it to the Judge Pres. Roosevelt drove hia car on the highways about Hyde Park. Reports were he traveled SO. The president told news hounds that SO was his maximum.. Now where have we heard this yarn before? History of care of the Insane: a forward look: - (Continuing from yesterday:) "Today, after a diagnosis is made, we are fairly certain as to the subsequent course of the psycho sis. A few years ago we used to resist the removal of all patients. "Today we are so sure of our ground, that we do not hesitate to ask relatives to remove certain patients who have recovered from their psychosis. In-the olden days we rarely ever acknowledged that a patient was sent to the institu tion that waa not Insane. e a. I "The number of patients parol ed from the institution has been increasing over a period of- years because of our better knowledge of the insane and the more effi cient treatment they are receiv ing. The Individual of an inger- ent mental weakness does not stand the strain of mental con flicts or disease as well as the normal individual; but it does not mean 'that he must necessarily be confined In an institution for the insane. "A better day is dawning for the mentally afflicted. The fu ture will find very little If any pital where the physically afflict ed are treated and the hospital where the mentally afflicted are treated." S Thus ends the address of Dr. Steiner. A brief study of the care of the insane in Oregon will be Interesting to the careful read er. There Is a tradition that in their message to the provisional government legislature of Oregon, June 18, 1844, the executive com mittee recommended that provi sion be made for the support of lunatics an4 insane persons, but that no further action was then taken. This (second) executive committee consisted of P. O. Stewart. O. Russell and W. J. Bailey. As Bailey was a physi cian, the tradition Is likely cor rect. - S The first law on the subject was enacted September 29, 1849, which copied the laws of Iowa of January 19, 1839, and January 14, 1841, in regard to the ap pointment of guardians to care for insane persons and their pro perty; providing that the estate of an insane person be charged with his maintenance, and It he had no estate, then the parents. distinction made between the bos- children or grandchildren shonld Daily Health Talks By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. From the amount of publicity they have received one would think the five coast bridges are the only important pieces of work la Oregon. In reality they are of Incidental Importance. The coast should be happy it has its road finished, and is; but there is no great urgency about getting the remaining bridges completed. What will the coast have left to holler for when those bridges are built? It would be a shame to deprive it of all excuse for agitation. v In his daily column of kidding Will Rogers jibes at tlve eastern ers who are suffering from torrid weather and interjects this In par enthesis: "Excuse me while I put some wood on this fire-place here la the room". And that in Santa Barbara! Wood indeed; all he would have in a Santa Barbara room would be a gas grlU in the side of the wall. For real fireplace wood he should come to Oregon where the tall trees grow. Occasionally some newspaper solemnly warns the rest of the world that the U. S. will go ahead to get prosperity on its own. The truth is that other countries have been coming out of the kinks themselves, and improvement in Europe started' before it did over aere. Merchants who insisted they couldn't possibly Increase sell ing prices by the two per cent of the sales tax aren't batting an eye- at mark-ups of ten to twenty caused by Increases in merchan dise costs.

A. we can't get enthusiastic over, and that Is the prospect of three-minute speakers. By ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D. United States senator from New York Former Commiteioner of Bealt New York City MISUSE OF certain medical words causes confusion. For example, many persona refer to pain to the shoulder, back or legs as "neuritis." when In reality the ailment Is rheumatism or arthritis. Per haps no word Is more incorrectly used than "arth ritis". Arthritis Is the term used for an Inflammation of a Joint. Any Joint of the body, as the finger, wrist, knee or shoulder, may be Involved. The tnflamma tlon can be traced to a blow. a fall or an Injury., It may follow an infection In the teeth, tonsils. nasal sinuses or gallbladder. Contrary . to the popular belief, arthritis Is curable. Unfortunately. It Is too often neglected and allowed te persist tor many months or even years. When neglected, the lnftaxn mation produces definite alterations In the architecture of the Joint. This change prevents normal movements of the Joint and every motion Is pain fuL Not Easy to Cesro Chronic arthritis Is not easy to cure. This explains the widespread but false belief that arthritis la nec essarily a permanent and Incurable affliction. Many sufferers disabled by arthritis fail to apply for the proper treatment because they think the all' tent la incurable. I am confident that If every suf terer from arthritis consulted with hia doctor as soon as pain appeared) more eurea would occur. But as I have often stated, too many a per son Is prone to make his-.ewn dlag- nesia and resort te treatment not" recommended by the family phyal- complete the diagnosis. It la advis able that the teeth, as wen aa the afflicted Joint be X-rayed. Useless Treatment Local applications are of Bttle value If the Inflammation of the Joint la due to some localized Infection. No doubt you know some friend ot member of your own family wh religiously applies this, that or the other ointments to a painful shoul der or knee. There may be tempo rary relief but certainly never per manent cure If the trouble la arthritis. I receive many Inquiries about the so-called "diathermy" treatment for arthritis. In diathermy there Is the liberation ot heat within the tissues of the body. This la accomplished by an electrical machine with a high frequency current. The heat Is lib erated by this method deep Into the tissues and so it differs from the beat of an electrical pad or hot water bottle. The diathermy heat stimulates the blood supply of the Injured joint. It Is extremely beneficial to early cases of arthritis that result from a blow or fan. It should only be used tinder the supervision of a physician. Answers to Health Queries Bear to 'mind that before cure can be hoped for. the cause of the arth ritis must be determined. This In formation can only be obtained by a complete physical examination. In addition, an examination ot the teeth, tonsils and atnuseo te necessary te bear the expense. If he had no relatives, he was to be cared for as a pauper by the county. The territorial act of December 15, 1851, provided for the ap pointment of guardians for in sane persons; the guardians to have custody of both persons and property. This was amended by the act of January 80, 1855, pro viding that, in case an Insane per son had no property, the probate Judge should make an allowance for his support, to be paid for from the territorial treasury. It he were dangerous, he should be kept In the county jail, at the ex pense of the territory. It will be observed that the principle of maintenance of the Insane at the expense of the territory or state was thus early adopted; but this last aet was repealed January 7, 1S5. S Thus matters stood until Gov. A. C. Gibbs In his special message to the state legislature, Septem ber 15. 1862. called attention to the large number of insane per sons nncared for, and recommend ed the purchase of land on which to build a hospital, as speedily as possible. In the meantime, he recommended a temporary ar rangement with Drs. Hawthorne tt Loryea, owning a private-asylum in East Portland, at state ex pense. This resulted In the act of Sep tember 27, 1862. authorizing the governor to contract for the keep ing ot the Insane. An insane pa tient's estate or his relatives or friends should bear the charge. but, these resources falling, the state shonld pay; the counties to bear the charges of taking the pa tient to the Institution. An ap propriation ot $20,000 was made for the care of the insane. Thus began a monopoly that trailed down through Oregon history for a period ot over 20 years, with color and contests that, for even a cursory record ot it all, would fill a large book.

As the door shut behind her Slug stepped out of the shrubbery and walked beside Cavanaugh back to the curb and out of earshot of any one in the house. His movements were altogether furtive and gave the impression that he was ready at any instant to leap into the near est shadow. "Now what's on your mind?" asked Cavanaugh quite casually. "Plenty," replied Slug. Aa he spoke his bhtlsh chin seemed to move from aide to side. He was the only man Cavanaugh ever knew who looked exactly like a burglar shonld look.

The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers RELIGION AXD STRIFE To the Editor: The world today is like a troubled sea, the waves of fear and despair are beating against our lives. Our Increased knowl edge, the great progress we have made In understanding the forces of nature, our marvelous trans portation and communication fa cilities and the progress we are making In meeting our physical needs, do not seem to help us to have poise and peace ot mind. On one side of the road our gran aries are full and overflowing and the wheels of our factories are silent because the folks on the other side ot the road are un able to make the money with which to par for the necessities of life. Children are undernour ished; strong men are becoming weak for lack of food. But the physical suffering is small in comparison with the agony and despair ot the rich and the poor, With many the strain becomes so severe that they become cowards and kill themselves to try to get out of the hell In which they are living. Millions seem to be bear ing unnecessary cross ea. Millions seem to be victims of circum stances. Ministers, teachers, far mers, home makers, merchants. mechanics. In fact, every one who Is really alive seems to be bearing burdens and praying that some relief might come. While thinking over these- things, a beautiful picture presents itself, the picture how Christ fed 5000 and -then slipped up - into the mountain and spent some time- In praying, and while he w praying his disciples were In the midst of the sea tossed with waves, for the wind was contrary. And in thr fourth watch ot the night Jesus went anto them walk lag on the sea. We have the same Jesus today the disciples had, and he win come walking to us on this troubled financial sea. the first, second, third or fourth watch, if we put our trust in him and not man and the almighty dollar. We greatly need more ot the poise, faith, hope and the spir it that muat have moved Wash ington Gladden's soul when he wrote: "O Maater let me walk with thee. In lowly paths of service free; tell me they secret; help bear the strain of toll, the fret of care. Help me the slow ot heart to move, by some clear clean winning word of love, teach me the wayward feet to stay; and guide them in the homeward way. Teach me thy patience; still with thee, in closer, dearer company. In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong, in hope that sends a shining ray far down the future's broadening way; in peace that only thou canst give, with thee, O Maater, let me live. 8.
