TROUBLE DIDN'T DOWN HIM
Twenty four hours after he was arguing
with the city council about the picket ordi
nance, Harry H. Johnson was dead a
shoulder injury while at work Tuesday mor
ning brought on a heart attack. And all of
those who knew the ever-active spokesman
of the United Workers' League, even those
whom he annoyed sometimes, will read of
his death with a touch of sorrow. For
Harry had that quality of being a very like
able fellow.
He saw things differently from most of
us, perhaps because "happen-stance" makes
us see things differently. Had it not been
for depression, Mr. Johnson might have re
mained in contented obscurity, happy in
a very modest sufficiency. Caught into the
convolutions of WPA, he took it on himself
to try to make things a bit better for his
fellows. Past middle life he set himself to
the task of trying to solve the riddles of
politix and economics and what we call the
social system.
He made mistakes (and who doesn't?).
He harassed officialdom. Some of the
things he sought to attain were impossible.
But nothing ever "got him down." He po
ssessed indomitable earnestness and opti
mism. We shall miss his letters to the Mail
bag, and we shall miss his crusades and we
shall miss his questing. Most of us are
questing and what we know may be nothing.

something.
There may be bigger fish in the sea than

WASHINGTON LETTER
'T WAS A VERY GREAT VICTORY
Those citizens of the German empire who
voted as they were told in Sunday's election
received little metal buttons bearing the
word "Ja." These buttons will be precious.
They will mean "Brot und Arbeit" (bread
and work) and many other nice things. Yet
one wonders what will happen to the 11,463
who had the courage to vote "Nein" the
lonely one percent who stood out against the
99 percent who gave Hitler his greatest
"popular victor'."
When an American citizen goes to the
polls he doesn't have to tell anybody how he
voted. Oh, the political bosses in some of
the larger cities have had ways of keeping
a pretty close check on the voting of various
illiterate groups, and the American people
have often been tolerant of such scandals.
Nevertheless, it requires only a casual read
ing of the election news from Germany to
realize the importance of the secret ballot
in preserving liberty.
Give any ruler control over the means of
life and he can control the machinery of
democracy. It is interesting to note that
Hitler himself recently described his German
dictatorship as a government resting on the
consent of the governed. This is a devious
tribute to the theory of democracy. Of
course, Herr Hitler has the "consent" of his
people. There is no guesswork in his man
dates. There is only a very thin line of heroes
in Germany, and they will be thinner now
than ever.
MIKILAK AND WARREN REMAIN
Devotees of Oregon football will be glad
to know that "Tex" Oliver has decided to
retain Mike Mikulak and John Warren on
his coaching staff. Both are young men
with a future and while they are gathering
experience they have much to give to Ore
gon. Big Mike has come unspoiled through
nation-wide headlining as a star collegiate
and professional player and he is on the
way to becoming as competent a teacher as
he was player. He is nailing down his
"M. A." which is almost necessary nowadays
as a passport to the teaching profession.
"John the Horse" has moved up through
the glamor of successful high school coach
ing without acquiring illusions. Both Mik
ulak and Warren know and are known in
Oregon and on and off the field they will be
very helpful. Mr. Oliver can depend on their
loyalty and enthusiasm, and with big Bill
Cole amply supplying the gap in the line
coach job, it is reasonably safe to predict that
Oregon for the first time in many years is
on the way toward a coordinated football
system.
Tilt between resident Roosevelt and
Vice-president Gai ner Is denied at the White
House and the New York Times writer who

but McGurk says the Washington writers
will have to learn that a "row" of this kind
is like earthquakes in California, just "un
usual," or something.

Register-Guard Correspondent
WASHINGTON. ADril 13. Slate Department
officials are walking on eggs these days, as they
try to decide how to be just tough enough and
yet not too tough with Mexico.
The Mexicans know it They are trying to find
out the easiest terms the State Department will
accept as compensation to owners of expropriated
oil. The Mexicans are not able to offer very
much. But they will be made to "offer some
thing" and some of the American negotiators are
afraid that "something" will just have to do.
Spankinr
Even Secretary Hull makes no genuine pre
tense that the Treasury's sudden suspension of
Mexican silver purchases was meant as anything
but a spanking. The administration's attitude,
perforce, is curiously mixed.
Sympathetic with much of the Cardenas pro
gram, high officials nevertheless flew into some
thing like a rage when the Mexican government
seized the American and British oil fields.
Admitting the legality of that action, they were
furious when a nation whose debt had been in
default and which had stalled on arrangements to
compensate for agrarian expropriations running
into billions of pesos had what they considered
the stark nerve to seize oil properties valued at
four times the size of the annual Mexican budget
and then talk vaguely of "compensaUon."
Necessary Step
Washington diplomats believe the Mexicans felt
that as long as the Roosevelt administration was
in power they could continue their expropriation
program without fear of interference. It was the
background of futile negotiations as to compen
sation for a rapidly expanding agrarian program
which caused the decision to stop buying Mexican
stiver a decision which has come In for criticism.
All indications are that the Mexicans were sharply
jolted by that unexpected acUon.
Officials feel that some such step was nece
ssary if other Latin American governments were
to be dissuaded from seizures of American pro
perty similar to those In Mexico.
But Hull and his boys are treading with ex
treme care. They want to build up the "Good
Neighbor" policy in this hemisphere. They do
not want a revolution or even economic disorders
in Mexico. And they don't want the Mexican
government to become any friendlier with Japan.
Billboard
Only one member of Congress uses the outside
of his door as a billboard
Representative Jerry O'Connor of Montana has
a poster about half as large as the door itself,
the burden of its messarge being that Tom Moo
ney, California's most celebrated prisoner, ought
to be freed. The poster presents a drawing of
Mooney's face and describes him as "Labor's
Champion" and "Victim of Monster Capital Class
Frameup."
.
"Fir Tax"
There is no more conservative group on Capi
tol Hill than the Senate Finance Committee and
consumers are entitled to celebrate the fact that
the committee has been conservative enough to
knock out a new 6-cent import tax on pork pro
ducts which was voted Into the House tax bill.
This tax proposal is aimed primarily at high
grade hams which Poland has been sending over
here in tins. Some 75.000,000 pounds of pork
products were shipped to this country last year,
about half of the amount coming from Poland.
That represented less than 2 per cent of domes
tic consumption.
Secretaries Hull and Wallace, worried about
the effect of such an increased tariff on the re
ciprocal trade treaties, insist the pork Imports have
been abnormally and only temporarily large be
cause of the 1934 and 1938 drouths.
But there wil be an effort to write the "pig
tax" back into the bill on the Senate floor. And
another fight Is in prospect over Senator O'Ma
honey's proprwal for a 3-cent tax on processed
beef which theoretically would boost the price of
canned corned beef.

AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
(Editor, Journal of the American Medical Asso
ciation, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine)
It Is recorded that the ancient Egyptian
women wound their hair on sticks, formed a mud
pack around the hair and sat in the sun. After
some inconvenience, they had curly hair.
Nowadays the woman who wants permanent
ly curly hair goes Into a beauty shop where she is
hitched up to an electrical apparatus, from which
she emerges eventually with what Is called a per
manent wave. The average permanent wave
takes about three hours and lasts from three to
six months.
In addition to the electric apparatus, a num
ber of chemical substances are used. Inasmuch
as people may be sensitive to any of these sub
stances, there are occasional reactions of the skin
and of the tissues generally which may give a
good deal of distress to the perion concerned.
Other side effects of permanent waving may
Involve burning, sometimes the development of
severe brittlcness of the hair so that It cracks
and breaks off. sometimes discoloration.
In cases when there are eruptions after the
permanent wave it is necessary to determine
whether or not the person is sensitive to some of
the ingredients.
It must be remembered also that after a per
manent wave, substances are sometimes used for
shampoo or for perfuming which may be Involved
in the sensitivity.
There Is no doubt that excessive heat will In
jure the hair. This is shown particularly in gray
hair or white hair which may turn yellowish
after the permanent wave. One Norwegian writer
found green discoloration of the hair after per
manent waving. All of the people had used lotions
containing mercury. What happened in these
cases was a combination of the mercurial solu
tion with alkali, then an application of the heat
and a chemical reaction v. Inch resulted in a green
color.
Nowadays most beauty shops have permanent
waving machines which are automatically con
trolled so that high temperatures or dangerous
temperatures are avoided. They have electric
timing dvi.es which shut off the current auto
matically when the heating has gmie on long
enough It is well, however, to be sure that the
apparatus is up-to-date and safe before Irving it.
In addition to the kind of work that is done
sorts of methods hav been sold for permanent
by the experienced operator In a beautv shop all
waving at home, using chemical solutions or ap
paratus which has not been tested on large
scale. It is better to be sure than to be sorry
because the wrong method used once may give
a result that looks bad or injures the hair and
sever! months may be required for recovery.
