ON August 1st, a young man who graduated from college this year remarked : "This is the first day of socialism. j Was it? Might he not with equal accuracy have said: T "This is the first dar of fascism?" Many people think we have crossed new frontiers : and that we are headed straisht for . well, for socinli am nr fas- 10 asm. We do not agree. In our iuderment we are nasainc through an experience similar to wartime and are applying emergency measures. We do not have socialism because the private profit motive is still dominant; in fact is accentuated because every group hopes to gain something for itself out of the current recovery. While there is a 4egree of fascist dictatorship about the administration, it is fundamentally a self-discipline depending chiefly on common consent. Pres. Roosevelt himself made his appeal to "conscience and opin ion". The entire theory of NRA is an effort at restoration. There is nothing which involves a permanent change in the economic or social pattern. The country is merely postponing that question. If NRA succeeds, or something else succeeds, in restoring general well-being then the legislation will be extinguished as soon as the emergency passes. If depression continues -and grows more pronounced then attention may be given to revolution ary changes. The country is still a country whose people are trongly individualistic. They are agreeing to control as a temporary measure. Even that shows a deal of contention before it gets fairly started. Competition is giving way to a measure of cooperation ; but each is endeavoring to interpret the: cooperation to his personal advantage, which is the strongest proof we have seen of the persistence of the instincts of individualism.

It is the most heavily traveled route ,n ont "emiiation to the coast. In its enthusiasm , over other roads Salem has neglected this road, which is narrow and tortuous. Now it is in line for greatly needed betterment. The resurfacing of the road from Brunks corner to Independence is an exten sion of this same needed improvement. Further on, the cut-off from Dallas to Wallace bridge is to receive an oil surface. And 4.5 miles from Grand Ronde to the Tillamook county line on the Salmon river highway is to get bituminous macadam; likewise 10.9 miles from Otis to Neskowin on the coast highway. These im provements will be greatly appreciated by the thousands of people here who travel these roads to the beaches.

United States senator from New York Former Commissioner of Health, New York City NEGLECT OF physical complaints too often leads to serious and chronic disorders. We should be tetter trained so that wo. might recognize the early symp toms of disease. The trouble with NRA will not be the codes but the interpreta tions. Most every newspaper carries a fresh offhand utterance from General Johnson; and the next edition may contain a partial re-, traction or modification. The result Is Very confusing. Add to the bewildering bulletins from GHQ the volunteer Interpretations of men out In the sticks, the confusion is worse confounded. The peo--pte should not scold General Johnson. The task of putting 120 mil lien people into goose-step is herculean-. There- will need to be a great deal of charity until the conflicting interpretations are . straightened out. n ... ( . Before the last election there was great concern over Jack - Garner as vice president Those -fears have proved groundless; for Jack" has proved the most successful vice president in history.

Gov. Meier suggests that the Columbia dam be called the George1 Joseph, dam. That would be appropriate; but some new sec retary of the interior might change it to the Phil Metschan dam. The liquor commission is agreed that the saloon shall not come back. But alcohol produces the same effect when purchased at a government liquor store-.

In can-l sequence, mseh unnecessary' suf fering would be avoided. E a c n or us should be able to recognise the early signs of disease.. Of course, I So not mean that everyone must be a trained physician. But you should not disregard the plain warnings. When, for example, you are afflicted . with inflamed joints, painful joints, or other joint symp toms, make every, effort to 'deter mine the cause. Do not use home remedies; seek medical advice to lo cate the reasons for your trouble and give yourself the benefit of expert prescrfibnig; Don't Ignore Joint Paias ; There Is? a tendency- to accept joint pain as something commonplace and unimportant. Too often the condl tion Is Incorrectly diagnosed by the sufferer as rheumatism or arthritis. Sometimes Irritating salves and pat ent medicines are applied, for relief of the pain. Because temporary re lief Is obtained, no effort Is made to determine accurately what the ail meat really Is and to remove its cause. Gout Is a disease that may be mis taken for arthritis, rheumatism, or neuralgia. Though, It Is not as com mon as In former years. It Is more prevalent than many believe. Synrptoms of Cent It - Is caused by an excessive amount or uric add. tn the system. The disease Is more common ta men than In women and Is usually en countered between the ages of thirty and forty. The victim of this disorder may suddenly awaken tn the middle of the night. He finds himself with severe " pain In a joint, usually the big toe. Tbo part becomes red, swollen, hot and painful. . Fever may be present and headache, thirst and Indigestion, ' are the symptoms. In former years when little was known about diet and the chemistry of food, little relief was afforded these sufferers. With our present knowl edge, the treatment of gout Is more successful. The diet Is restricted and all food substances which develop uric add are avoided. The uric add and purine" foods are not permitted. Meats, meat extractives, meat soups, ' sweetbreads, Uver, kidneys and brains are foods rich In purines and these . must be omitted from the diet of the patient having gout. Proper hygiene ef the body and temperance In eating and drinking are essential for a prompt and com-. pleto recovery. Overeating Is quite. as harmful as the eating of foods that lead to uric acid formation. Al coholic beverages, tea and coffee are detrimental to the sufferer from gout and must be avoided.

Has exposed herself and made Indecent advancements toward others. Patient was past the child bearing age when the sterilisation law went Into effect. Certainly no case of this kind should ever be discharged or paroled unless ster illied." In his NorthwestMedlcIne ar tide, Dr. Steiner said: "In the Sonoma (Cal.) state home for the feebleminded they had several Inmates from one family. In this family were two strains. One strain, the feebleminded woman and the defective and incompe tent man, in four generations yielded 24 defectives out of a to tal of 34 persons in eight matings. The other strain, the normal sis ter of the above woman, and the normal brother of the above man. has yielded 39 persons- In seven matings with only one dull nor mal. "You are all familiar with the famous 'Jukes' family.'! (A pseu donym used to designate the de scendants of two sisters, the "Jukes" sisters, whose husbands were sons of a backwoodsman of Dutch descent. They lived in the state of New York, and their his tory was investigated by R. L. Dugdale as an example of the law of inheritance of criminal and immoral . tendencies, disease and pauperism. Sixty per cent of those traced showed degeneracy, and they are estimated to have cost society 21,308,000 In 75 years.) , W Quoting Dr. Steiner again: "Martin Kallikak married a fee bleminded girl. In this strain out of 41 matings there were 222 definitely defective persons. Mar tin Kallikak was also married to a normal woman, and from this mating all were normal and in cluded many prominent national figures." (Heads of universities, Judges, members of congress writers of books, ministers, etc.. etc.) Dr. Steiner said "Dr. L. F. Griffith, assistant superintendent of the . Oregon state hospital for 36 years, has participated in and observed the benefits of this work. : He Is en thusiastic about ' the much good that has been done lnour hospi tal ana is nopeiui lor its increas ed continuation." After describe ing the . methods used in opera tions and commenting upon the crimes of rapists and sexual per 1 verts, he said: ."I hope the time will soon be here when our courts will carry an order tor these operations along with their prison sentences for certain definite crimes. What right has society to expect reform from a three-time loser? He is hopelessly and helplessly defec tive, only to go out at the end of his sentence to repeat and repeat his crimes.". -Dr. Steiner obviously referred in the words just Quoted to rsp ists, sex perverts, -etc Three- time losers In other classifica tions have often reformed, though persons unacquainted with the rules of recidivism and -of penol ogy in general are prone to be lieve such reformation next to impossible. Dr. Steiner, having had experience from both study and observation, knows better than this knows that there can be no hard and fast rules In Judg ing the capacity ot normal per sons to yield to correct practices la the field, of reformation, and that there Is always hope. , As, of course, there Is little or none la the case ot a born weakling.

CHAPTER TWENTT-ONB At bis door he selected the key from one of several on a small sil ver ring. It was the usual pro cedure for the Filipino to hear the turning of the lock and be at the door to take Cavanaugh's hat and coat immediately. Tonight, how ever, the boy was not there. Cavanaugh put up his own things without attaching any great im portanoa to it. He wondered idly what had become of the boy. Per haps be had fallen asleep in a kitchen chair and would appear in a moment smiling and apolbgetie. Then, suddenly. Cavanaugh stopped dead still tn his tracks. His nostrils widened slightly and he breathed in a flower-smelling trace of- perfume. His face darkened as be moved with a quick step, into his wide living room with its high walls and beamed ceiling. The woman who had been sitting la a tapestry chair sprang up and stood directly in -front of aim. "I thought maybe you'd come homesooner or later," she said with a half smile, and menace in her voice. Cavanaugh's eyes hardened. Through half closed lids he stud ied this darkly handsome woman with the scarlet mouth and sullen eyes. Her hair was black and lus- teriess like wrought-iron and drawn back smoothly from the Latin ereaminess ef her cheeks. "How did you get in beret" "Quite easily. Your Filipino let .me in. I told him I was expected and that he could come back to morrow. It- was not going to he easy, Cavanaugh began to reaSxe, ta deal with Annette. He had tried everything kind liness, humor, neglect. It was not a question of money because she had plenty of that, or love either. She had lovers and husbands scat. tered'from Rio de Janeiro to Mon treal. "Exactly what is it you want?" he demanded. -Youl" Tm afraid Pre grone out of cir culation," said Cavanaugh. "You flatter me, Annette, but" He stopped speaking with a shrug. Her face was beginning to flash. "Do you know what you have done to me?" she cried, but he cut her short. mm. mspl , 1 it.--" v a Taw' i r 1 I ( V. 111!

"Don't be silly I I . ha vent done anything to you." "You have set my whole life on fire!" she threw at him, her voice rising. "Am I a-plaything to be east aside for another woman? This movie star you've running after like a like a " "Cut that out!" commanded Cavanaugh. The color had left Annette's face and she was beginning to be livid. "So! I am not allowed even to mention her!" she cried, louder than before. "This woman who comes between us! You stand there brazenly and tell me to my face that I have no rights! Because she is a movie star she is better than I am! She's been in your arms to night! Dont deny it. You dont dare deny it!" The loader she talked, the lower became Cavanaugh's voice. "If you realize what a fool you're making of yourself, you'd quiet down," he said. "You're a vain. jealous woman and, if I may add. a very noisy one. YouTl probably have a new romance next week and forget that I ever existed." Poletzki shifted his position on the fire escape and tried to get Cavanaugh in a straight line with the muzzle of Ids automatic. The trouble was that the woman kept getting in the way. The automatie was treasured carefully in one of his damp palms. There was no hurry at all. Po letzki was quite content to wait. He was filled with the subtle joy of a hunter waiting for his prey to get into position. Poletzki knew how to send straight bullet. He knew he could not miss. Annette had begun to gestieu- late. Her face, contorted with pas sion, had lost all beauty. Her eyes glistened metallically. The scarlet mcuth kept twisting. Human rea soning had toppled from its throne. That hell-fury of a woman scorned consumed all restraint. Cavanaugh tried in vain te si lence her. It was hopeless. He sat down and lit a cigarette. "If you keep it up youH make yourself deathly sick," he said . helplessly. Her voice which had been almost scream dropped to a dry cold level, aa deadly vibrant as the flat sound of a rattler. "You fool!" she said poisonously to Cavanaugh. "What makes you think you can get away with this? I ought to kill you. I ought te take a gun and explode it a dozen times right in your facet" Cavanaugh s voice was steeL It would do you good to look at your self in the mirror." So my face doesnt please you any morel" she threw at him. "No I dont look like a movie star. You dont like my kind ef beauty!" She began te laugh with a deris ive clattering in her throat. "You give me a marvelous Idea! wonder if you would find this Leni Luneska se heavenly te look at tf somebody threw a bottle of vitriol in her face." Cavanaugh sprang to his feet. His face, suddenly, was pale as death. "You dont realize what you're saying!" he cried hoarsely. Her eyes lit with a quick fiendish delight. You believe Td do it! You begin to realize, eh? You caa bet your last dollar I'd do it! What they will uo with me afterwards doesn't mat ter. You think Tm a fiend! Well, perhaps I am." In the whole of his experience Cavanaugh had never encountered anything like this. It was grotesque. abnormal a revelation out of bed lam. The whole room was filled with hot quivering waves of hate. His brain began te go dizzy . . .
