They have shown most consistent' earnings partly because they manufacture a necessity, and partly be cause they operate under close price-fixing policies. Another reason for their steady profits is their effort to enlarge bus iness by promoting new uses for cans. . J Just now the can makers have about taken over the bus-, iness of oil vending. Formerly a motorist drew up at a gas station and called for a quart or two of oil which was pumped out of a tank into a measure with a pouring spout. Now the attendant picks, up a tincan containing the quantity ordered and bearing the brand label on the . outside, spikes it and drains the oil into the crankcase. It is more expensive, no doubt The can-makers sold the oil. industry on the idea by pointing out the chances for oil substitution in the bu,lk method. Cases were reported where inferior oils were sold for best grades. As a result of the sell ing campaign most all the oil companies are now using tin cans for retailing the oil. Having put oil in the tinea ns, the makers are now at tempting to put beer in tins. Ads are appearing advertising ."keg-lined cans" for beer containers. Tin would thus replace glass bottles or jugs ; perhaps at beer counters the beer would be poured into a glass out of a 10-ounce tin. Another example of shift in common things is the dis appearance of the cork. For centuries it was used as a stopper in a glass bottle. Now your medicines, and other liquids come in bottles with a screw top made of composition. No more searching for a cork screw or chipping up the cork with a pen-knife while opening the bottle. A twist, and the seal is unscrewed. The technocrats will probably cite this as another case of dislocation ; and the cork-tree cutters in Spain Will be f hrnwn nut tf mrlnvmpnf Tint nn rvne sppms tn wnrrv abont it. Corks have disappeared ; despite their buoyancy they have "sunk" in the economic sea, and a synthetic substance, prob ably cheaper, certainly more convenient, has taken their place. Canadian Election NEXT Monday the" Canadians will go to the polls in a na tional election. The issues are tied up with economics the - same as in this country. Canada has had its share of trials, except bank failures, and has done a measure of ex perimenting. The government owns the Canadian National Railways, one of the largest systems in the world, in operat ing which it loses millions of dollars annually. The govern ment has also messed up in wheat considerably. This year its guarantee will not cost the treasury anything because the short crop and the stiffened demand have lifted wheat prices above the guaranty. Alberta in recent provincial elections voted for "social credit" which nobody seems quite able to define and which the new premier is stuttering over before putting it in prac tice. It is brief ly another bootstrap plan of making everyone comfortable and contented. Some months ago Ontario elected a. radical as premier. The national elections cover the decision as to the party to control the government. Now the control is conservative with R. B. Bennett the premier. Bennett has been introduc ing an imitation new deal in Canada in hopes of winning pop ular favor to retain power. Opposing the conservative party and. Premier Bennett are the liberal party .and MacKenzie King, former premier. 'The liberals oppose Bennett's high tariff program. There is a third party in the field, the re construction party,- with H. H. Stevens as leader. It would outspend Bennett in an attempt to prime prosperity's pump. A few months ago Bennett's chances were thought very poor, especially after Ontario and Alberta went radical. A good wheat price may do much however to ameliorate tem pers in the prairie provinces, so his chances are thought bet ter than they were. .. Canadians follow very closely the political developments in the United States, much more closely than' do those on this side of the line the happenings across the border. The two countries have close ties both of sentiment and of bus iness. They ought to work. together even more intimately than they do. ' c..i :j: r : cuusiuiai v vaji jmu auuu EUGENE papers announce a meeting to be held there to form a Eugene unit of the "American League against War and Fascism." A university professor, a pastor of , the liberal church, and several university students and oth ers join in the call We have a suspicion that this is merely another subsidiary of the communist front. It is significant that the league does not join "and Communism" to the ob jectives it opposes. Communists see fascism as their mortal enemy; and nat urally use every device to oppose its coming. Screening their purpose behind high-sounding titles is a favorite device to trapithe unwary; but the leaders of such causes generally know What the true purpose of the organization is. v ; There is no need for such an organization because there is no impending danger of war or fascism in this country. The locals become cells for spread of the collateral prop aganda of communism even if the core of the communist theory is not promulgated. The Eugene people are at liberty to form their unit if they want to; but their people ought to know what they are gettbsr into. This paper believes in freedom; but not in de ception. , j a . i Bottle-neck "jQREGON CITY is quite excited over fear that the high J way commission will not open the bottleneck there and instead divert the funds elsewhere, perhaps ultimately building from Aurora to WHsonville to connect with the Fourth street highway entrance to Portland. Delegations have visited Commissioner Aldrich at Pendleton and prom inent persons at Portland. - . ; It isn't just Oregon City's interest which should be served but the interest of ;.those who use the highway.

KENT Copjrifht 1933, TVt BUtmor So Borah, the Townsend Hero I Washington, Oct 8. ONE of the interesting though not Important phases of the present republican picture Is the boom for Senator Borah. It is a senti mental, not a aerious, , affair, chiefly notable for the way It has been used to becloud the real situation by certain poli ticians anxious to capitalise for themselves his news Tain e, which is large. rrsak a. Ksnt HOW EVER, Mr. Borah himself now seems to have definitely scuttled his own boom. The facts, as yet, appear not to have percolated beyond the borders of his own state, but when they do they are calculated to make those who have been re garding the senator as a .factor feel pretty foolish. They will also distress a good many who, whUe taking no stock at all In the no tion of Mr Borah for president, and totally disagreeing with him on policies, still have admired him as both able and sincere. IT IS certainly pretty hard to re concile what has recently happen ed In Idaho with that conception of him. In brief, he appears to have so far committed himself to the Townsend old-age pension plan that he has become the hero of the Townsend group and is the avowed candidate of Dr. Town- send himself. On September 7 Dr. Townsend visited Boise City and was ' there introduced at a large meeting by ' Senator Borah. The senator highly praised the doctor and In return the doctor highly praised the Senator. Al most simultaneously with the meeting there appeared thousands of stickers in the windows of the town and on the windshields of automobiles bearing the words: "Get the Townsend Plan with Borah." Other stickers say: "Six teen to One with Borah." BOTH kinds bear pictures of the senator and hardly would have been put out In his own home town without his knowledge and consent. It is curious that this Townsend-Borah alliance, form ed early last month, has not got more publicity outside of Idaho. It seems to mean the end of the Borah boom except as a news nov elty, in that it becomes obviously ridiculous to talk of nominating such a man. Added to other rea sons his age "(he is now over 70), his advocacy of currency inflation and the fact that he is still a pro hibitionist his commitment to the Townsend plan appears to make his unavailability complete. IT pretty well means -that Mr. Borah has now embraced every ec onomic heresy of his time, and it explains the Borah sentiment which nearly everyone has report ed from the west. Actually it is Townsend sentiment. Real friends of the senate will regret this lat est development It is not a fit ting climax to his career. Of all the half-baked, cockeyed schemes that have been proposed in the past three years for giving away government money, this is the weakest-minded, most unsound and transparent. For a man of the Borah stature to lend himself to it is too bad had for the country and had for him. IT IS not easy to believe in both the ability and the sincerity of the advocates of the Townsend plan. If they are truly able, it is ex tremely difficult to believe In their sincerity: and if they are sincere, then it is equally hard to believe in their Intelligence. One has to make a choice. The news that Mr. Borah had become the Town send plan candidate came as some thing of a shock to his friends here. THE ONLY explanation advanced Is that he has become alarmed over the Idaho situation. It is said a sUffer fight looms there for him in 1936 when he comes up for reelection than he has ever had. Got. Ben Ross, strongly supported by Mr. Farley, is an as pirant for his seat. Still, it does seem that for Mr. Borah to per mit himself to be placarded as a promoter of the Townsend plan is a little too big a price to pay to avoid defeat At least, it should be.

J. HENDRICKS Two relatives of . j Sfonewall Jackson lived last days here: w 'v ' Looking up the old 'files of The Statesman, one may find in the is sue of September 17, 1919, news of the death of Thomas B. Jack son in Salem the day before. V V In his last years fie had been a very quiet man, and new timers In-Salem then heard more Of Mrs. Hattie Jackson than of her hus band. Excerpts from the news article concerning his passing show that he had been a very active man in his younger years. They follow: Thomas B. Jackson died at his late residence, 406 North High street (the house still in good re pair), the evening of the 16th, aged 88 years. The article went on to say that Mr. Jackson had been acting gov ernor of Oregon when Governor Chadwlck was absent from the state during his administration. It also stated that he was as sistant secretary of state under Governor Grover, and that when Governor Grover became U. S. senator "he (Jackson) became secretary of state." (Under the Oregon laws, he could not have been either, officially, but he no doubt acted as such, in the cases stated.) S Jackson had been an account ant for the U. S. government at old Grand Ronde, in the Indian service. He had charge of the commis sary department of the Oregon penitentiary when A. Bush was superintendent, 1878-'82. S V Thomas B. was a first' cousin of Stonewall -Jackson, and he and the famous Confederate general grew up together. He had been warden of the old Bethel lodge of Masons in 1856, the year Phil Sheridan came to what became old Fort YamhilL He assisted in making George P. Litchfield a Mason in 1865, in Amity lodge, and was a member of Salem Lodge, No. 4, when he died. S V He was born March 2, 1831, at Leesburg, Va., attended college there, until 20. then came west, going to Portland, then to Yam hill county, before taking up his residence in Salem, in the early '60s. Mrs. Jackson was for a Health By Royal S. Copeland, M.D. recently i told you about backache. It was pointed out that the laity U Inclined to regard any pain in the back as lumbago,. To day, X want to dascriba "sciatica' which often Is mistaken for lum bago, neuralgia or some similar dis turbance causing backache and other similar pain. Sciatica Is a painful disturbance of the sciatic nerve. This is one of the largest nerve trunks of the body. It starts at the lower part of the spina and conUnuas down the back of the thigh. It divides into two branches at the knee-joint and supplies the muscles of the leg. foot and toes. Pain Is SeVera When this nerve is irritated, In flamed, or otherwise diseased, the victim auffen excruciating pain. This may be so severe as completely to Incapacitate the sufferer for many weeks. At times it is necessary to administer an opiate to give tempo rary relief. The pain starts In the back and travels along- the course of the. sciatic nerve. Aa a rule it is increased by walking, stooping or lifting. Even contact with the bed clothes may in crease the pain. Relief is obtained by remaining- in bed. There a comfortable position may be found. A pillow placed under the knee may relieve the tension and reduce the pain. Airy form of heat, such as hot packs, electric pads, hot baths and lamp treatments, may be helpful In some cases g-entle massage Is beneficial. But this relief is only temporary. Complete recovery can not be hoped for until the underly ing: cause is found and removed. X-Ray the Regions In telling you about backache I i poke of a disturbance of the sacro tlac joint as one of the causes. This !s the place where the lowest part jf the spinal column and the pelvic bones meet. Attention should be fo cused here because if this Joint ia in volved the sciatic nerve may be dis turbed. In all cases of sciatica the sacro iliac Joint aa well as the pelvic region should be x-rayed. Ovarian trouble or displacement of the womb, as well as tumors and diseases of the spinal cord, mar causa this Irritation. By means of the x-ray it is possible to rule out hip Joint disease, tubercu losis and other -'"-"-r trouble. The x-ray definitely-reveals any bony de formity that might irritate the sciatic nerve. LecmUxed infections, each as dis eased tonsils, adenoids, bad teeth and nasal sinus Involvement, are other factors that must not be overlooked. The diet must Include foods rich In vitamins. lime and other mineral alta. Regular elimination and other hygienic habits are important. Answers to Health Qaeries - -1 Mrav EL 8. Q.

He is, however, favorably impreased with Kent, and realizes his rival is of Shar lcne's world. Stuart returns to his studio with a heavy heart. Julie is filled with elation at the thought that Sharlene rejected Stuart, feeling that now she has a chance. But Stuart ignores Julie and tries to find consolation ia his work.
