A NKWSI'APFH IS A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITY. VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS TUGEXE welcomes Oregon's Veterans of Foreign Wars with a special appreciation of what they represent In the nation. The V. P, W. embraces men who have served their country In all foreign wars any time anywhere. The soldiering may have been In the great battles of the Western Front or In the lonely watches up around Archangel or Vladivostok or the patrol of some jungle down In the Caribbean. A man Boldlers where he Is sent and the V. F. W. establishes equality of service In the spirit with which It is rendered. The Veterans have much Importnnt business to transact while In Eugene. Like the Legion and Spanish American War Veterans and other such organizations the V. F. W. Is deeply concerned with legislation for the benofit of comrades who are "out of luck." The V. F. W. exists to perpetuate the comradeship of service but as a part of this comradeship it requires that those who are infirm or aged or In distress shall not be victims of neglect. The delegutes come to Eugene for an encamp ment which revives the joyous spirit of youthful service. War Is a horrible thing. Some think It brings out manhood's worst. In the madness of life and death struggle, this may be true, but It Is also true that the service of wartime brings out man hood's best. The boy who marches awuy with the colors learns to forget himself. He learns certain lessons of loyalty and comradeship and service which he never forgets. In veteran organizations there Is a daeper and finer motive than mutual help. They exist hecnuHc Impulses have become a hahlt. On the long night march, the strong man will enrry his weakor buddy's pack. In the lonely outpost the soldier will share Ij Is last cigarette or his last fragment of biscuit. A man will risk his life to see that a wounded comrade or even a wounded enemy gets help. Veterans cling togother after wars are past because they have memories of men at their best bei)t possible background tor a business revival, While we are walling, and looking for new and blacker storm clouds to arise, the stage Is slowly being set for a return to prosperity. It we stop looking behind each bush for a bogeyman we can recognize our opportunity when It arrives. If we don't we shall simply prolong the agony. THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM' A WASHINGTON correspondent the other day remarked that Independence for the Philippines now Is virtually certain. In fact, he remarked,' con gress may be In such a hurry to get out of the Islands that It will cause their economic ruin. Laying nBidc. for the moment, all arguments as to whether the Filipinos ought to be granted their independence, It does seem fairly obvious that If they do get It the United States owes It to them to make the transition as easy as possible. The Philippines have been a United States pos session for some 30 years. If they are to be put on their own, the United States must take every precaution to make sure that chaos will not follow. American responsibility would not cease when the American flag came down, unless America had first prepared her charges for complete freedom. We are expecting a campaign any day for the release of Tom Mopncy Immediately so he can come' east and plead for Jimmy Walker. Most parrots slug, rather than swear, these days, a bird fancier tells us. Which must be great news for the man who wants to sell a profane bird. We notice that a school of oratory for -women has been opened In Paris. We suggest that they Import a few American wives as Instructors. Despite the depression, the bill collector Is more popular than ever. Even the best families ask him to call again. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK SIDE GLANCES v ' 1 im. u. . wT. orrjs imibum stawica. nc "We've decided, Auntie, to lust let vou choose which one of us vou'll want to live with. You tee, we couldn't come to any agreement." 'AFTER YOU'RE DEAD' rpo anyone who finds national political conveV tlons Interesting, there must occasionally come the melancholy thought that the great party heroes tho patron saints, . so to speak, whoso names must always bo mentioned reverently In tho keynote addresses got a whole lot more devotion from their parties after they are dead than while they are alive, Each party hn grent heroes, and each party always drags out their Images at Its conventions. The Republicans, of course, specialize in Abru ham Lincoln; and lately, they have begun to en shrine Theodore Roosevelt In an adjucent nlcha The Democrats start with Thomas Jefferson, pause to bend the knee before the figure of Andrew Jack son and then drop the rest of their wreaths at the feet of Woodrow WIlBon. But a good many of those men got something less than complete devotion from their followers during life. Lincoln, for example. Is on a pedestal now. But the dawn of 1865 found IiIb party bitterly di vided. A large section was almost Incredibly hos tile to him. If Booth had not killed him, Lin coln and not Johnson would have felt the wrath of the "radicals" In the late '60s; his attempts to save the south from the horrors of the reconstruc tion period would have brought to him the blind hostility of that section of his 'party which ulti mately tried to throw Johnson out of office. Roosevelt, likewise, was not always the Idol of his party; he was roundly Biiuhhed In 1012, and he had to break the parly in half and help elect Wilson to win back Mb place in tho 0. O. P. coun cils. And Wilson, before his 'public career ended, But at the head of a divided party. Not nil of the vol on that killed the treaty of Versailles in the U. S. Senate came from Republicans; nnd In tho cam paign of 1920 there wore plenty of party leartors who found It inexpedient to do battle for Wllsonlnn doctrine. Not until after his death did his party really enshrine him. The moral of all this? Perlmps there Isn't nny uiiIors It Is that tho great party leaders alwnva are fighters, and that Ihe battles they start cannot be forgotlen until the lenders themselves are In their graves. PROLONGING THE AGONY JUST about tho best comment Unit could be mnili on the depression seems to have come from a New York banker. This man, as quoled In press association dlsnatchos tho other day, remurkid: "Now Yorkers ore nil afraid of somolhlng that Is going to happen. They don't know what it Is. hut they are afraid Just tho same. The plain truth Ib that It already has happened and thnt we are allll alive and moving. I doubt. It any crisis thnt could possibly arise would be worse than what we have survived." There has been, of course, an enormous amount of fnko optimism broadcast since the depression be gan. If It had been possible for us to talk our selves hack to economic health wo would bo robust by this time. Hut at the same time there has been an amazing undercurrent of fear, and this, like the verbal optimism, has been sadly overdone. For more than a year people hnve been ex pressing this fear privately. You've heard them everyone has. Dark prophecies of doom have livened every bridge party and every luncheon table. The result has been the acquisition by tho country of a pronounced case of the Jlllera. And yet, when you get down to II, Isn't this New Yorker Just about rlglil! The thing wv so afraid or has already happened to us. We have already hit bottom. The worst has come, and we have Bomehow lived through It. Any move that we make now Is hound to he upward, because we ran I possibly go down any farther. It would do us a lot of good If we could man age to get Mint fact through our bends.

A portion of the report is con cerned with the health of the pre school child the child from 1 to 6 years of ace. Dunne the second and third years of age the reactions of the child are in many ways simunr to those of an infant. hiring the (bird, fourth, fifth and sixth years of age it begiiik to resemble more closely the school child. This group of children baa not yet pegun to receive the type ot system atic and organized attention given to children of more advanced years, Several diseases which attack chil dren of this age have not. been brought under scientific medical control. More over statistics ns to their mortality nnd tho illness they cause nre not yet ijtiite reliable. However, enough evidence ia nvail uble to indicate thnt the youngest children arc in the greatest need of supervision nnd enre. The greatest number of deaths among children from ono to 6 years of age ia due to infectious and con tagious disenses. Then come condi tions affecting the lungs and nose and thront, tuberculosis, accidents, stomach and intestinal disenses and finally, other diseases. The infectious diseases which con tinue to be most serious arc diph theria, scnrlet fever, measles and whooping coupu. 1 In tropical countries and in regions in which lacunar social conditions ex ist such conditions as dysentery, ma laria and smallpox may also be im portant, ft is interesting to know that the four disenses, dtphthcria. scnrlei fever, measles and whooping cough may constitute the responsibility for more man on -lourtn ot all ot t:ie deaths of children between one and six yenra of age. tn large cities the percentage ot deaths due to these causes may be eve-n greater. The younger the rhild. the greater too danger irom any or these dis eases when it is eontrnued. Thus, i ia especially importnnt to guard the younger children until they shall have reached the age when greater resist ance nns developed, Diphtheria is beginning to be over come through the application of the iM-nicK test and rnrmnrh the imp o toxin-antitoxin and diphtheria, toxoid, itowever. tne need tor vigilance is constant. Thus far, no definitely established means of prevention are available against measles and whooping cough. nenee. children must be guarded par ttcularl.v against contact with cases ot these two diseases. MAIL BAG WOULD SAVE CROPS PUGENE, Ore. (To the Editor) Oregon berry growers are knock ing at the door of the unemployed and begging, i hey are begging lor pick ers. There's not much in it. They can't pay the pickers much. Hut this is one time when the unemployed could show public spirit in saving a crop that will otherwise go to waste. This is one time when the unemployed could play Good Samaritan to help the farmer. I was just thinking thnt if the lerry farmer fnils to get nickers, and his croj goes tn waste because no one would lend him a band I was just wondering how he will feel when be finds them begging nt his doivr. Wilt he feel like helping them then, if they will not help him now? C. M. HKKtilS-ntKSSKK, SAD, SAD ST0RYI In olden times the young man's ambi tion wns to work and to save. That he might, nt some time, have a wife nnd a home. He did not wish for others always to stave: Neither did be enre to be cast on the wxrld to roam. The modern young man's ambitions do go higher. No matter how much he may be broke. j.o ine possession oi an automooiie he do aspire A couple of suitcases and plenty cigs, to smoke. To buy my fine ear I mortgaged my home; To build my garage I mortgaged the car; , To get my gas I worked my jawbone: If the guy gets his pay he's a bright old si nr. To buy my license I sold my wife's cow. Oh, it's easy if you oulv know how, K. l HAHPOLE, Bellfountain News BEM-rorNTAlN.
