LAST LINK WITH HISTORY IN Portland, tha dath of Mrs. Gertrude Jan Danny, last survivor of the Whitman massacr, la a reminder ot bow rapidly we are losing our direct connection with Oregon's pioneer peat. Mri. Danny waa a girl ot 10 when the savages deacended on the unfortunate mission near Walla Walla. Her father was slain. With her mother and four other children, she was a prisoner of the Indians till rescued by Peter Skene Ogden. But Mrs. Denny was old enough to have vivid and accurate memor ies of what happened at the mission and during her life she was an Important contributor to the historical records of that event. The records of the Whitman massacre are much more complete than those of many other Important vents In Oregon history, and yet to Illustrate how juucb may escape, here's the story. One day last winter, Judge Robert Sawyer, of Bend (an Im portant contributor to Oregon historical research) drove Into Eugene, and gathering up Ed Turn hull proceeded to Roaeburg on the clue that certain discarded land office records there might be avail able and interesting, That clue proved disappointing but as the Judge and his companion were leaving Roseburg, Harris Ellsworth, editor of The Roseburg "News-Review suggested that they might be Interested in a yel lowed packet of records a certain cltlien there had gathered up. That packet of records proved to be nothing leas than the complete original records ot the expedition which the Hudson's Bay Company fitted out to punish the Indiana for the Whitman massacre. In the copybook, clerical writing of the style the whole story Is told (down to the last ounce of powder and the scalping knives and rum ratlona with which the volunteers were equipped). This all Important record now reposes with the State Histor ical Society at Portland, but the death of Mrs. Denny Is a reminder that much Oregon history la slipping past Through the department of history at the Unl . versify ot Oregon there should be established an active, division of research, to obtain facta from the surviving pioneers, to gather up and edit, tha letters, diaries, documents which contain the hist ory of the building of a state. NEW DEAL FOR LUMBER? T ISTED by tha always conservative Christian Science Monitor as en of th outstanding selentlflo developmenta of th year I s process for making a wood veneer building malarial which la entirely proof against tire and virtually Inde structible by earthquakes. The development Is cred ited to the wood research laboratorlea at the Uni versity of Wisconsin where extensive tests have been made under the auspices of the National Association of Lumber Manufacturers. Very little Is known here, as yet, about the new process, but If it Is as Important as stated, It may revolutionise the lumbar Industry of the Northwest and open th way for tremendous developmenta. Methods-of Impregnating wood with .fire-proof chemtoals hav been known for a long time but they have been Impractical because the chemicals evaporate or seep oat through the pores of the wood and th processes so far have been too ex penslv to hold up against commercial competition. Presumably the Wisconsin process of building veneer boards utilises the veneering flue as a dam to retain the fire-proofing materials. If the process la cheap. It may be of great value In th rich Cali fornia market where both earthquakes and fires are ever-present hasards. Meantime, lumbermen are doing their best to get over to th public th fact that wood Is rsally no mors Inflamabl than most of the. competing materials. As a matter of fact, recent tests have revealed that heavy timber beams are actually safer under fire test than steel beams because steel warps loos from Its moorings and collapses. Likewise th Long Beach earthquake gave ample proof that woodatructures, because of their flexi bility, suffer less from earthquake shock than those of steel and concrete or brick and stone construc tion. Lumber Is not "through", reports notwithstand ing. Lumbsrmen may say with Mark Twain that "reports of death are exaggerated", a MEDFORD HAS ANOTHER KILLING. all about French and Italian wises, they forget everything. Yeh, as nil JUST as th grand cleanup ot its political minj. ters Is completed with the conviction of County Judge rehl In the ballot theft cases, Med ford produces another feud murder. A man named Darts, awaiting sentence In the ballot thefts, gets Into street corner argument with s man named Johnson, a rancher, well along In years. Words lead to had names and bad names to blows. Johnson Is lifted from the gutter with a broken skull and Davis goes to Jail to face charges of killing In addition to the sentence for ballot tampering. Now there will be a prolongation of the bad feeling In the metropolis of Southern Ore gon. In some parts of the slate, removed from the bitterness of the Jackson county situation, there have been questions as to the wisdom of the re lentless punitive policy followed there. There has been no question as to the necessity tor pun ishing ring leaders In the turmoil, but a policy tempered with allowances for those who were mere tools might have restored something like unity In the community. Misguided as soms of th partisans ot Fehl and Banks may be, some of them atlll labor under th delusion that they are crusading reformers, It Is difficult for those who hare admired the Southern Oregon city to believe that It harbors any large number ot deliberate criminals. It has Its proportion ot fanatics and radicals, as does every other community, but tolerance aome tlmes goes a long way toward controlling the pas sions of auch people. Civic feuds are like family squabbles. They are dangerous because the wounds linger. Whatever crll'.ciems may be made of NRA. K deserve universal acclaim for crowding Almee Into the background for a while. A boastful German vlntcrer predicts that when Americans last hi champagne they will forget WASHINGTON LETTER By RODNEY DCTCHER Register-Guard Wsshinfton Correspondent fA8Hl.OTON, Aug. T. Much of th capital's after dinner ronversation eoneerns the "nest phas" of the New Deal. There will be no return to the eld uncontrolled sys tem, rami everyone says. Whether the summer re eorery drive sncceede or fells. Industry probably win become subject to more control than the sdmlnlstra. tlon has rat proposed. The "Brain Trust" and the various smsteur rsb tnjats" agree on that. Tbe tint etrp toward a planned economic syatem la raatoration of employment, but 'NRA officials look forward to controlled, balanced production. Both pro duction and prices muat be kept from galloping ahesd of buying power. Fascism? State capitalism? Limited dividend cor porations? Reduced cspitslisation? How to tie op a monetary policy with th NRA program? What .con trols will prevent another great crash one, three or five years sfter we're out of the present woods? Such questions are asked by tbe capital's best minds. Administration experts discuss them freeely. They will suit their plane to developments now unpredictable. Many schemes Dlseussss Innumerable schemes pop p. Some receive seri- j ous consideration. They include plsns for coercion In case the present high wages-short hours drive doesn't pan out well. Many cotton textile code violstlons ere 1 reported; strikes are bresking out In several Industries. Employers who won t accept th blsnket code, who will try to best the gsrae after accepting it or who won't be able to stand the costs may msk such a for midable total a to esuse a situstlon requiring a dras tic effort. No one knows what forces are being unleashed by the attempt to get a whole nation stesmed up over certain elementary economic principles. But the ques tion has raised furious speculstlon in Washington. nudists Plan colony Xudist organisations Invaded Washington with no secrecy whstever. They announced a meeting in a hotel ballroom snd drew sn overflow crowd. Plans are being made for a colony somewhere on nearby Chesapeake Bay. A technical expert valuable to the government served for two yesrs under the Hoover admlnistrstion ithnut pay. He hsppened to be a Quaker and couldn't bring himself to repeat that seetlon of the federsl service oath wherein one, after swesrlng to defend the Con stitution against sll enemies, foreign or domestic, tskes this obligation freely, without any mental reaerratlons for purposes of evsaion . . " The other day he was calkd back to heln out In one ot the departments en an important operation. His new superior thought he ought to be psld. Couldn t the chief clerk, who administers oaths, leave out that "men tal reservations" suff? Well, It bed never been done before, but perhsns he could. And he did. It wssn't exactly legal, but what the hack? Weedls's Threat Better. Secretary of the Treaaury "Wee Willie" Woodin expects to return to hia Job. He has bees sbsant sev eral week, suffering not from a "diplomatic illness" ss local goaslp specisllsta asy but from an extremely serious throst affliction. If he resigns before return ing It will be because he and his physician think he can't stand lbs physical gaff. Woodin never did become a bin ot fire in the Treaaury pest and li'm. connections with Wall Street proved eleeer than suspected. He probably will aot aerve a four-year term. But reports of hie Imminent reslgnstlen seem to be chiefly inspired by friends of candidates for his Job. WHAT OTFSR EDITORS THINK , A MUIZLE FOR A COMMON NUISANCE. (Tl a Grants Pus Courier) A r.'oll-planird sock on th Jaw Is in store for a certain nuLv.nc thnt bus hern giving yon fits for the lest .veer or so, If you happen to be on of those people who h ive a radio, and, having one, tune in of an evening for a dseee orchestra or a heaven-sent crooner, It'.i not s etaHr eliminator. It's better than that. It's a new food and drug set by which congress is to be asked to put a stop to the fraudulent and objection able "cures" and noatrom advertising over the sir. Tou've heard them, . and saany a station havs you tuned out In avoid the dm of somebody's stomach rem edy or fat dlsslpster ar what have you? And every body seems to have something if you listen to what the wild rndlo waves are eaylng. Why shouldn't they be wild? Ton would he, too. After congress reassembles next January a graphic vsrslon nf the marvelous qualities .and properties of your favorite medical pals In the neck may be lost to you forrver. A Ntrlngent sad atl-mcluslve "false advertising" clause In the proposed food and drug act will be your guard and bring back to you some ot thoae unforgot ten momenta ot bliss that used to issue from the loudi -aksrs before th barrage of qusck "cures" shut down upon ynvr enjoyment. T.i proposed lew will cite a number of common discuss and ailments snd declare that any preparation will be guilty ot infringement if It claims to cure, aid or even relieve them. Just for an example, mumps and sinus trouble are two mentioned. A hur.xn for Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell. aaslstsnt secretary of agriculture snd the author of this con-gretelonal-htll-to.bet Tugwell, emancipator that he la, hopea also to pro tect th ladles. He has Included cosmetics In his bill. If the professor's act Is psesrd It will no longer be possible to mix up a dime's worth of glycerine and a little rose-water snd sell It under a fsncy label with a Parisian name for two dollars. And, furthermore, an you grow older heaven forbid he hopes to prevent anyone telling you there a cream or lotion extant that will keep those wrinkles from your neck snd chin. The very shle interests touched by the prospective restrictions will fight plenty, so the report has it. Radio listeners ought to raise a vnet bush-hind to back up the president and his professor. AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH By DR. MORRIS FtSHBF.IN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Aasoclatlon, snd of Hygels, the Heslth Msgsslne, F th sense of dlsslnes merely comes snd goes and yields quickly to proper hygiene such as sultsbl attention to th diet, the digestion, the action bf the kidneys snd correction of disorders of vision, one need not he disturbed. 'However, If dliiieea Is repested sgsln snd again It may be due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, Insufficient action of the heart, a tumor growing In con nection with the aemicirculnr canals or some hidden disturbance elaewhere. A feeling ot dlaalness and fslnting, If repeated, de mands careful scientific study. Of course, some people faint more easily than do othara. Some faint with the slightest emotional shock. Some people faint at the sight of blood, others fsiot quickly from exhaustion, weakness, a blurring of vision, a failure of circulation so that the face becomes pale, and the presence of cold perspiration. The moment a person fsints bs should be plsced fist on th bsck and hia htsd lowered. The color ot the face Is sn Indicator to some extent K the blood supply to the brsln. If the face ie pale the head ahould he lowered until the color of the face im proves. If, on the other hand, the face is ettremeiy red It may be desirable to keep the head raised. A person who has fainted should hare plenty of fresh, cool sir, cold water applied to the. face or chest ss s stimulant to recuperative action. Sometime, the inhalation of smelling salts serves to stimulate the breathing of the patient and in that way to aid his recovery, The ususl flrst-sid remedy, found in most family medicine cheats, for attacks of fainting Is half a tea spoonful of aromatic aplrita of ammonia given In water. A person who has feinted should he kept nuiet and rctumhent until fully reentered. If perniilierl to get up and walk too soon serious results may follow.

HINTS ON HOUSEHOLD ARTS By SISTER MARY VAORE thsn one June bride will' find that the planning of meals becomes sn alarming problem. The food budget baa a way of growing out of balance; "his" favorite dishes hsve lost their chsrm, and left-overs have a way of accumulating that is most disconcerting. If you remember that there are a number ot important factors that en ter into meal planning you will have less trouble. Of course th activities of ths persons for whom you are plan ning must be given consideration. The amount of money you can afford to spend also Influences the choice of foods to a great degree. The ability of the cook whether It be yourself or someone else snd the amount of help in the kitchen also determine what you can hav for dinner. Thrss Feed Requisite Over snd above this, the needs ot the body must be supplied in every mesl of the day. The well balanced menu Is imperative rind must contain three distinct food classes:- First, fuel foods to furnish heat nnd energy tor the activities ot the body. Foods rich In sugar, starch and fat coma under this head. Second, growing foods to provide material tor the building and repair of body tissue. These are the foods rich in protein. Third, "protective" foods, eontsln- ing mineral constituents and vitamins and adding bulk. Vegetables, fruits, milk snd whole grains mske up thin group. When it comes to- msking out menus in terms of meat and potatoes, vsriety, economy and personsl likes and dislikes enter into the problem. Careful Planning Helps If you outline your menus for sev eral days or ven a week In advance you will be able to. serve a greater variety ef foods snd you will do your planning and ordering more compet ently and economically. One way to do this is to decide on the meets for a week. Then fill in with potatoes cooked in vsrious ways snd other seasonal cooked vegetables. Next work out lunches for the week, using up left-overs as mnch as possible and supplying tbs second pro tein food other than mest provided a protein was not served for break fast. Then plan tbe brenkfsst fruits and cereals. Take care to avoid repeti tion. -It won't cost a bit more to keep several different kinds ot rereala open, using first one kind snd tben another, than to open one box and use it sll up before opening another. In order to Include two servings of fruit daily, plan fruits for luncheon or dinner as well as breakfast, using them in the form of cocktails, salads nnd desserts. YOUR CHILDREN'S PROBLEMS By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON MBTTIE, tnke out this nnrbnge I'm ill through now and I have to Ho iom telephoning." Mrs. Smith untied her apron and hung It up.
