A NEWSPAPEK 18 A CITIZEN 0! ITS
COMMUNITY.
PROTEST FROM JUDGE BARNARD.
FROM Judge Barnard cornea a vlgoroua protest
agalnat our reference to county government as
"The moat backward branch of American govern
ment." Judge Barnard cltea various figures to show
that Lane county's administration compares favor
ably with the administration of most of Lane
county's cities Lane county levying only 11.7
mills for strictly county purposes while Eugene
levies 10.5 for city operations, etc.
Wo welcome Judgo Barnard's protest because
It will promote discission and that Is what we
want. The more people In Lane county discuss
their city and county problems, the sooner they
will see the logic of getting rid of old and wornout
methods and putting both city and county adminis
tration under the manager plan or Its equivalent.
It ought to be explained, however, that It was
NOT our Intention to cast any slur on Judge
Barnard and his associates at the courthouse In
making that goneral statement about the back
wardness of county government. Under an antiqu
ated system they have Indeed done very well. But
We do not retract anything from the general
charge that county government IS American gov
ernment's dark continent. The only reason It
shows up relatively well In Lane county Is. because
Lane county's city governments are nothing to bra
about. Nearly ail of them are cursed with bungling
procedure and a load of accumulated dobtB.
Furthermore, It might be pointed out that the
particular comparisons selected by Judge Barnard
are quite Inaccurate because comparing the two
types of operation in toto is something like com'
paring an apple and a banana. Except In a certain
general relationship they aren t the same.
For Instance, the city of Eugene In a relatively
small area has almost as many miles of paved
streets as the county has roads. The city has bills
for street lighting; the county has none. The
county has hills for poor relief; the city's direct
relief costs are slight A city has sewers and
sanitary service to provide on a scale beyond any
thing attempted In the country.
To make a comparison of efficiency In our
county and city governments It would be necessary
to reduce certain simlllar operations to unit costs,
and that Is almost Impossible, We would agree
with Judge Barnard that the county has made a
much better showing In keeping down debts, and
ao far It has avoided warrant debt, but
Why not have one manager for the county's
business Instead of a doien? (And the same goes
for each city). Why not have some one person in
county or city government who Is responsible for
the orderly planning and efficient carrying out of
every detail of public business. In handling public
business why not copy the simple, direct and demo-
crntlc methods which private business has proved
will produce THE BEST RESULTS?
HITLERISM STARTS TO SLIP.
A DOLF HITLER seems to have passed the crest
of the hill and to have started the trek along
the downward slope. His party's vote In the recent
Oerman election represents a sharp falling away In
popular support, which Is even more significant
than the numerical totals might Indicate.
What It proves pretty clearly Is that Hitler's
program la no longer appealing to the people of
Oormany as a sure-tire cure-all. The Von Tapen
government, for one thing, hns stolen a good deal of
his thunder; for another thing, tho man's essential
shallowness seems to be demonstrating itself
little more clearly every month.
Meanwhile, the Von Papen government Is still a
minority government and the Communist vote Is
larger than ever before. Germany Is not yot out of
the woods, and her statesmen will need to exorcise
nil of the Intelligence and foresight they are cnpahle
of In the coming winter.
PROBLEM OF THE COACHES.
A PPAP.ENTLY the football coaching gonlty have
yet to learn that there Is a depression. Mr,
Paul Schtsslor, who holds an ISOOO a year contract
at Oregon State la stiff-necked ahntit taking a cut
proportionate to that takon by rogulnr professors
and teachers In the Oregon syslnm. At Washington,
the great Jimmy Phelnu, having bad his first good
season In three, has hceoino extremely coy about
the renewal of his contract there.
It is not for us to mnke Hcht of tho troubles
of other schools with their football coaching. We
had some very well publicised difficulties with
McEwan and Doo Spears. W may. however, con
gratulate ourselves that the University Is at last
on a fairly ratlnnnl coaching basis with a roach
who so far has not developed the symptoms of
delusions of grnndeur.
Coaching salaries, It Is true, do not come out
of scholastic budgets as a rule. Student nrganlia
tlona run athletics as a business and pay all em
ployes out of receipts of games. In coaching, as In
every other lino of huslness. It Is necessary to pay
the market price for tnlont and the market price
happens to he high, but
Unless all signs fall, even footbull Is due for
eiinio rapid deflation In the next few years. De
pression alone dos not arcount for the falling off
of attendance and receipts of college games this
eur. In msny sections of the country tho football
fever Is subsiding. Professional football Is offering
more and more formidable competition. Wise
coaches will seek to anchor somewhere.
It Is Just as necessary to reduce the cost of
student fees for the support of athletics and
nlmllar activities as It Is to reduce tho cost of
tuition. Among student themselves thero Is an
Increasingly healthy reaction against paying more
for a football coach than for tho most outstanding
dean or professor. The "professorial system" orla
lnally agltnted hy Dr. Hall may still he a long wav
oft but It Is coming.
Humor has It that Mr. Schlssler wsnts to make a
break with Oregon State. If he does, he certainly
ought to got It. though some of the experts here
aay they would Ilka to see him remain In Corvallls
for yesra. It will he noticed, however, that Mr.
Behlsslera protests against a salary cut include
o mention ot bis mld-maon lunwt to resign
without salary demands In case of losing the Ore
gon game, which be did.
Collegiate football can be renovated without
hurting the game. There Is no essential aln In
subsidising good players provided they are also
genuine students. There Is every good reason for
elevating coaching to a high professional basis,
but It Is time to deflate some ot the puffed-up egos
on the sidelines. After all they do not build great
schools although they can be very helpful. Great
schools arise when the emphasis Is pluced on get
ting the best ot teachers.
When President Heydler of the National league
asked that Ills salary be reduced, club owners
promptly granted the request. The play was scored
ns a sacrifice hit.
If Junior Is skeptical ot Santa's delivering all
the Christmas gifts, don't let him talk to the mall
man. He seems to be burdened with doubts about
It, too.
A "penny saved Is a penny earned" except,
thank goodness, whon Income tax time rolls around.

IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL BAG
CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS
TTJGK.VE, Ore., (To the I'M it or) Being that Christ
man s approaching will yon be so kind ns to
print a couple suggestions which I think would help
to Increase the Christmos spirit?
We are certainly Indebted to the merchants for
decorating so beautifully the stores and the streets
with illuminated Christmas treen, eto. It helps to
create Christmas cheer. We that have come from the
land of the Midnight Sun, Xorway, miss something
wrnen we were user, to over there, namely that of
"Ringing in Christmas." At 6 p. m. Christmas Eve
they would ring all the church bells and blow all the
factory whistles to announce the arrival of Christmas.
This custom was known aa ''Ringing In Yule." All
kinds of work stopped nt that hour. The air wan full
or rnristmns spirit. Kveryhody retired to their re
spective homes to spend a quiet evening; with the fam
ily. How would It be to introduce this custom in
hugene? This is suggestion number one.
In order to curry this out so as to be effecttve it
would he necessary to mnke another suggestion, namely
that of closing the stores at 6 o'clock Christmas
evening ns other days. This would mnko it possible
tor an business people, the proprietor, clerks and of
fice workers to go home at that hour and spend
Chrhtinns Eve quietly with their families. After
ringing; in Christmns, a sacred devotional spirit would
nil the nenrts and homes of everybody.
You may ask: Can the merchants afford to do
thnt and will the public have n chance to do their
shopping If it was announced thnt the stores would
not ho open after 6 o'clock Christmas Eve they would
nil come a day or two earlier. With an eight-hour
djiy there is plenty of opportunity to satisfy one's
needs. The closing of nil business plnces not Inter
than six o'clock Christmns Eve Is suggestion number
two. To those who think they are so busy that they
cannot do their shopping without having the stores
open till 0 o'clock Chrlstmss Eve we would suggest
thnt they give those who have no job a chance to do
part of their work.
These mi ggesi ions were made and adopted In
Minnesota city mime twenty years ago nnd are still
continued. No mnterlnl losses were noticed, nnd every
body enjoyed tho time gained for festivities and sacred
meditntion. hy not try It?

trnOM two to four days after a person hap been in
contact with someone who has hnd scarlet fever
he will have n chill and complain f severe scire throat,
If the person affected Is a child he Is likely to oe
nauseate nnd vomit,
Proifiptly I lie pulse becomes rapid as the fever
goes up. The fever may rise ns high ns 102 to 104
degrees. There Is severe hendnche.
Then bright red spots about the sir.e of n pin point
appear, usually firt on the neck nnd chest, ami then
rapidly spreading over the rest of the body. The face
is flushed becnu.e of 1'k1 fever but the eruption Is sel
dom severe on the face.
After two or three days the rii-di or eruption be
gins to fade, nnd In about a week the skin appears to
be normal in color. Then len diiv to two weeks
after the disease first appears the kiit begins t peel.
Uroat patches of skin may come off I he hands nnd
feet, but over (he rest of the body the skin come- off
In small rentes,
Occasionally the teeth, the hair ami the fingernails
nlso are affected by the destructive process. An in
teresting symptom of scarlet fever Is the nnpearance
of the tongue. Because of its bright red appearance
and because the tissues of the surface of the tongue
swell so n to show tiny pits, the tongue of scarlet
fever Is cntlcd e strawberry tongue.
Scarlet fever in mnny instances Is a fnlrlv mild
dlsee. When, however, it Is comnlifttted bv cer
tain forms of invnlu of the Vidurvv the ears, the
glands or the .hunts, it may be a mot serious and
destructive disease.
I'ntll recently there was no certain method of con
firming the diagnosis of scarlet fever, no certain
method of determining whether or not a pertnn who
had not hnd the disease wn likely to be infected on
exposure, no method certainly useful In treatment
except to put the patient to bed and to protect him

of treatment of nil Infectious dieaseg.

fliey found that a germ of the type railed the
streptococcus I responsible for scarlet fever; that it
produce a poison or toxin which can be found in the
material In which the germs grow, that this toxin,
when Injected fmo the .kiu of a person who hn not
previously had the disease, would produce a severe
reaction, vthereas in those who were protected against
the disease it would not produce s reaction.

HINTS ON HOUSEHOLD ARTS
By 8I8TKR fAHY
A CHH1STMAS rake, like h Christ
mas present, should be a joyous
surprise and a Santa Claus which
serves ns a centerpiece for the
Chrlslmna dinner and dessert as well
is quite irresistible. A little ingenuity
on the part of the home-mnker will
produre a most realistic nnd jolly
Stiint Nicholns for a smnl) outlny of
money.
Kirst draw a dlngrnm of the filture,
mnkiiiK It about 12 Inches from the
top of the cap to tbe bottom of the
boots nnd eight Inches from one cuff
to the other. Drnw dotted lines to
show you where to make red mittens,
white band and cuffs on coat nnd a
white benrd and chocolate boots.
Then use tbe diagram as a pattern for
a cardboard base for the cake.
Two Bheeta of cake are baked In
dripping nana and cut out with a
sharp knife according to the pattern.
Any fine grained enke enn be used.
Do not make a very rich cake, be
cause a firm foundation ia needed for
the frosting.
After the cakes are cool, cut out
with a sharp knife and attach to the
cardboard with frosting. Then frost
as II over with the different colors to
indicate Santa'e boots, cop coat and
trousers.
Use melted chocolate for the boots
nnd fontnnt Icing colored red for bis
ront and trousers. A white seven
minute Icing makes tbe fur trimming
around bis cont and sleeves, cap, tops
of boots, and beurd.
The face-is unfrostcd with the eyes
of currnnts. the nose of a split cran
berry nnd the mouth two snips of can
died cherry. The whole Is surrounded
by the famous white benrd. Currant
buttons ndd the finishing toucheB to
his cont.
Spread the cardboard support with
a liberal coating of sugar ond wnter
boiled until n pale straw color and
put the cakes on the board while the
syrup Is still warm.
Beat the white of one egg slightly
nnd add one tablespoon powdered su
gar. Spread this mixture over the
entire figure except boots and face.
This insures the frosting sticking
well. Let the cake stand several honrs
after covering with the white of egg
mixture.
You can mnke the fondant aevernl
days before you plan to use It. Keep
It closely covered In a cold place.
When ready to use soften over hot
water. Color with red vegetable color
ing and flavor with oil of wintergreen,
Flavor the white seven-minute frost
ing with vnnllln.
The jolliness of Santa's expres
sion depends on the take maker. She
can mnke his face as she will. If the
proverbial fat tummy is wanted, a few
pieces of cake from the trimmings ran
be used to pad it out a bit before the
frosting la put on.

YOUR CHILDREN'S PROBLEMS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
0X19 time yeara ago 1 waa talking
on Christmas morning. And ono of
her little sons insisted on telling me
what Santa Claus bad brought him.
Didn't 1 know all about It, though'
Hadn't I helped search all over the
ily to find the greatest train and

Hadn't 1 out-shot all the others nt

all about the great sled a yard end a

of the boys at once, if someone pulled
it. Ihey were too little to coast alone.

little voice inarticulate with excitement.
