COMMUNITY.
ALL IN ONE DAY.
rpO read that Major James H. Doollttle, the peed
flyer, took a greatgrandnlece of George Wash
ington up In the air and in one day flew her over
all the ground that Washington covered In his
whole life, is to realize Just how amazingly the
world has been shrinking during the past century.
We ordinarily look hack on the Infant United
Elates as a very small nation. From the standpoint
of population, wealth and power It undoubtedly was
small pitifully so. But In the mere matter of ter
ritory It was almost unbelievably larger than the
United States of today.
Washington was probably about as well-traveled
s man as Eighteenth Century America possessed.
He bad been up the northeast coast as far as Klt
tery, Me.; he had been south as far as North
Carolina; he had covered the Middle Atlantic ter
ritory pretty thoroughly; he had been as far west
as Ohio. He had been traveling all his life, from
the time when he first rode off Into the Blue Ridge
as a fledgling surveyor.
And now we have his great grandnlece, piloted
by one of the nation's most famous aviators, dupli
cating all of his travels In the space between sun
rlBe and sunset.
Ohio Is closer to Mount Vernon than the Shen
andoah Valley was In Washington's time. California
Is closer to New York than Boston was then. To
get as far from the center of American life today
as Washington got when he went down the Ohio
river a man would have to go to the headwaters
of the Amazon and even then the parallel would
fall If he went by airplane.
All of this, of course, Is a commonplace. We
know full well that distance has been annihilated,
that our sprawling nation today Is Infinitely more
compact than the smaller country of Washington's
day. But usually we fall to appreciate It. We
don't realize bow fsst events bsve moved. .
In that whirlwind trip of Major Doollttle and
Washington's Great-grandnlece there Is compressed
whole history an epic telescoped Into a paragraph.
A BROTHER'S HEROISM.
rjECENT months have not been a good time for
people who like to keep a strong faith In hu
man nature. There has been a good deal of news
of stupidity, venality and perversity In high places
almost enough to convince one that the race Is
k pretty shabby affair.
But now and then there will be a little story
about some utterly unknown, perfectly' ordinary In
dividual that will turn the tide; a story that helps
to restore one's belief thst mankind Is, after all,
, espsble of very great and noble things.
Such a story got Into papers the other day
from Canon City, Colo.
Tom and George Embleton, brothers, ware dig
ging well, assisted by their father. They got
tbe well shaft 60 feet deep, and then George was
lowered to the bottom In a bucket to set off a
dynamite blast. Ho lit the fuse and ordered them
to hoist him out. They began to do so and the
rope broke. George fell to the bottom, knocked
unconscious, and lay right on top ot a charge of
dynamite that was certain to explode very shortly.
The two men at the top would have been amply
Justified In staying there, waiting In frozen horror
for the tragedy. But Tom, without hesitation, got
Into the bucket and ordered his father to lower
him Into the welMnto the well where a high ex
plosive was due to go off In a few seconds.
Unfortunately, he was unable to save his brother.
The dynamite went off when Tom was only half
way down the shaft He went on to the bottom,
picked up his brother's broken body and brought
It to the surface? but It was too late. George was
fatally Injured.
But you will go a long way before -you find a
finer example of real bravery than Tom displayed.
Physical courage, of course, Is common enough.
Millions of soldiers displayed It In profusion dur
ing the World War. But there Is always some
thing Immensely hesrtenlng about II. To see a
man who Is ready to act on the belief that there
Is somothlng Immensely more Important than sav
Ing his own skin restores one's faith In the entire
race.
MUSSOLINI'S PLEA TOR BABIES.
rjiHE minds of great men sometimes move In
channels which are Incomprehensible to lesser
mortals.
Mussolini recently ordered barsalo excursion
rates en trips to Rome for all honeymoons.
Couples who can show that thoy are newly mar
ried can get an SI per cent reduction In the price
of tholr tickets; and all of this, It la explained. Is
done In the hope that It will encourage more Ital
ians to marry, for II Puce believes that Italy needs
more babies and yet more babies, in a steadily in
creasing flood.
Why ahould Italy's dictator lure that notion,
anyway? For years the great trouble with Italy
has been overcrowding. The peninsula cannot find
room for all of Its Inhabitants now; It bas not been
able to do so for decades; a further Increase In
population would strain things unhoiirably.
Why should Mussolini or anyone else feel that
Italy's great need Is Tor a still higher birth ratef
THE TRAGIC NOIBE DISASTER.
fpHE tragic accident In which the Gorman train
ing ship Nlobe eapstied and carried some to
naval radets to their death calls attention to the
fact that the German navy, like several others,
sticks lo the belief of the old time sea dogs the
belief that the sailing ship Is the only good train
ing ship for seafaring men.
Most navies, Including those of the United States
nd England, are wholly converted to modern ways.
An officer can apend his llfo In either of these
great navies and know nothing whatever about
sailing ships. But the Germans hold that the man
who la trained In a square-rigger gets a grounding
In seamanship that be can get In no other way;
and, as a result, every German naval officer does
a tour of duty on some such ship as this Nlobe.
The Nlobe undoubtedly will sail sgaln. The
Germans have too great an admiration for old-
fashioned seamanship to let this tragedy cause a
change In their policy.
THE PROBLEM AT OTTAWA.
A S the Ottawa conference drags lta way along,
to the accompaniment of a good deal of ora
tory and a great many private round-table discus
sions, It becomes evident that the Job ot welding
together a workable empire tariff union is going
to be somewhat tougher than it first appeared.
The whole proposition, apparently, is one of
those things thst look lovely on paper but that are
exceedingly hard to put Into operation.
Britain would like to find in the dominions a
protected market for British manufactures. In re
turn, she Is ready to offer the dominions a pro
tected market for raw materials. ,
But many of the dominions, notably Canada,
have become Important producers of manufactured
goods themselves. And because of her relations
with other nations, Britain cannot offer them as'
well protected a market for their raw materials
as they would like. To date, tbe prospects for a
quick, all-inclusive solution of these difficulties (Jo
not look very good.
Among other false rumors heard Immediately
after the conventions was the one saying that the
Republicans were going to end the depression for
campaign purposes. '
Now Ireland Is about to start a tariff war with
England. Some of De Valera's kinsmen over here
could give him a few facts about how often a
tariff war backfires. .
General Butler says he always asks the Lord
to help him say the right things in his campaign
speeches. The voters probably ask the Lord to
keep him quiet.
)
One reason tor the depression la loss ot foreign
trade. Another reason la loss of money.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK
"A BIT PREJUDICED"
fCorvallis Goaette-Times)
T'HB Astoria Budget which gave such violently unfair
x accounts of the petition theft and wblch bas dis
cussed the proposed merger of the two schools of
higher education with nothing b,ut lofty contempt for
tbe merits of the proposition, ears that it is not nrslu-
diced against Corrallis ami In favor of Eugene. An
proor or rnia me ouaget cites tne tact mat it lined
up with Rnscburg against Eugene when the latter
tried to steal the soldiers' home. Ouite true, but that
wss not a matter affecting in any way the editor's
alma mater. He admits being a hit prejudiced. Well,
mat s someimng. ho ao we. we are, nowever, willing
to argue this matter with the editor nf tlm Rtid.et nn
Its merits if we can get him to stick to the text.
He saya that he lias been 100 per cent for the
county agent In Clatsop. Weil, why not? Tbe county
agent has been of enormous benefit to Clatsop county
and without injuring the university. He also went to
hat for the maintenance of military training. That is
a matter of principle end military training does not
In any way injure the university which also has military
training.
The Budget, however, has never withdrawn Its very
unfair accusations to the effect that the propnnenta of
tbe merger measure were psriies to the theft of the
petitions. This was the original .cane of the contro
versy. That niece of newspaper skullduggery has been
conclusively exposed, but the newspapers that, ranted so
mucn anout it Dave not been decent enough to
gcknnwledge their error.
The Rudget cannot deny that the university has a
newspaper ring which It controls. Most of the editors
of tbe smnll dsliiesnre graduates of the university or
connected with it In some wsy thru Its hold on the
press association which has become Its personal prop
erty. Like the editor of the Budget, they would prob-
amy aartw mat tney are "a nit prejudiced. wen,
that's all that we wanted the editor of the Budget to
admit. That's all we claimed. If he will study the facts
of the- proposed merger hill he will have to pome to
the conclusion that it would save the taxpayers many
millions of dollsrs in a few years. In less than five
years we believe It would more than wipe out the
state deficit. It would give Oregon a fae better uni
versity and a far better college than It has now. and
at less expense. Thst conclusion, la so Inevitable that
except for the "hit of prejudice" the Budget editor
would be found fighting for It instead of against it.
WASHINGTON LETTER
By RODNEY DCTCHBR
(NBA Service Writer!
VASHINGTON, Aug. -It begina to look as If this
presidential f.mnalgn and n.rh.na ihn.A nf the
future, insofar as the two candidates are concerned,
were going to become bouts between "masked marvels."
There will he very few of our 110,000.000 people
who, if they want to get .a good look at President
Hoover and Governor Franklin I. Roosevelt this year,
will not have to content themselves with newspaper
photographs and newsreets. .
At any rate, (he old practice of extended presiden

ROOSEVELT'S OFFENSIVE
Roosevelt has a much more magnetic personality
than Hoover, however, and a fine oratorical delivery.
nhile he m.iv not take full advantage of that in a

more "gelling around" than Hoover. After all. Rons,

AGED MUST BE CAREFUL
OF MINOR IRRITATIONS
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
(Editor, Journal of American Medical
Association, and ot Hygela,
the Health Magazine)
CANCER hn always been recog
nfirl hv t Via marl 1 nrftftkEninn
as a d I seas of old age. More recently
It has seemed to occur fairly fre
quently among younger people and
Uiere are many explanation. aavancea
for this fact. It Is recognized that
heredity nlavts a larce nart in cancer.
and that inbreeding may bear aome
responsibility. ,
The Britibh statistician. Karl Tear-
eon, found that the maximum incidence
of cancer occurs at the ae of 56 in
men. The chief cancer period is from
46 to 64 years.
According to Sir Humphrey Rolies
ton. the most recently assembled fig
ures in England indicate that morta
lity from cancer of the most accessible-
sites continues to increase up
to extreme old atfe, whereas cancer in
lesn accessible positions does not.
Obviously the renson is that cancer
in the stomach, the intestines and
similar inaccessible positions is not
easy to discover and in most instances
advances so rapidly thnt tbe person
dies of the cancer. Hence such can
cer did not occur in people of ad
vanced years.
It is well established that cancer is
associated with long continued irri
tation of susceptible spots In the
tUsue. Obviously aged people are
more subject to long continued irri
tation thun are the young.
Men suffer, of course, much more
frequently thun do women with can
cer of the lips and tongue, perhaps
hecauxe of their smoking habits. Even
though women have begun to smoke
cigarettes regularly, it is uulikely that
they will suffer as much witb cancer
of the lips and tongue as do men, be
cause women are much more careful
about tbe state of their mouths and
teetb.
Men suffer with cancer of the pros
tate; women with cancer of tbe or
gans particularly concerned with child
bearing. There have been many attempts to
explain cancer In old age, but all of
them are theoretical. In old age the
degenerative process In tbe cells
leads to the formation of new tis
sue and the repeated demands made
on the cells in this way may result In
tbe sudden, rapid growth that is call
ed cancer. Wnrtbin, eminent patholo
gist. considered cancer to be merely
a sudden, rapid aging of a group of
cells.
Whatever the cause may be, older
persons should be especially careful to
treat all slight infections and to visit
a physician if these irritations do not
respond renduy to treatment.

The Ten Commandment
Tsxt: Ex. 20:1-11
...
By VM. K. GlUtOi', D. D.
(Kditor of The Congrcgutionalist)
The ten commandments have laid
hold of the moral consciousness of the
world and have influenced the courae
of humun life in a way that cannot
be amiuuled for merely from the
stsndnoiut of their outwurd author ty.
1., ih ri-i'nnl of the transmission
of these commaiiilments.,to the Jewish
people througn Jioses, me en-mem 111
the miraculous figures largely. They
were engraved upon tables of atone
that Hoses brought down from the
mountain, but no mere outward clr
cumstsncs could huve given to theae
commandments their social force and
sanction if Ihey had not had Inher
ent worth and authority for men in
their relationships with one another.
Are these commandments binding
upon the Christian conscience? Are
thev a port of a law which every
Christon recognises as bis obligation
toward God and to his fellow man?
It depends somewhat upon what
one means by that question. There
were those in tbe time of Christ who
interpreted tbe fourth commandment
the law of the Sabbath in such a
way as to destroy its spiritual mean
ing and reality. They were outraged
when Jesus healed the sick upon the
Sabbath Day, and they were amazed
that tho disciples of Jesus, when they
were hungry, should have walked
through the grain fields on the Sab
bath Day plucking the grain and win
nowing it in their hands and eating
it to relieve their hungr.
Jesus met such a situation square
ly and firmly. He Bald that the "Sab-
bath 1 was made for m
lor ,ne rMbb-a.h." Thi.V"'
