She faced death just as bravely. The young men from the University of Ore gon who were riding with her to the East say that but for her instantaneous action to pull her car out of the path Of a westbound vehicle there might have been a much worse wreck. During the long wait for an ambu lance to travel the 38 miles from Cheyenne and during the agonizing ride to the hospital, Bheer will power kept her conscious and her sole thought was for young Winquist. Not till he had been Cared for did she accept the attentions of the doct6rs with a hopeful message for her daughter, Frances. Then came a merciful coma fr6m which she never recoverd. That was the manner of her going. Even in far away Wyoming there ap peared friends people whose children at some time or other had gone to school to Edna Brockman. At the Frances Warren. Pershing Mernorlal hospital af Laramie county there is a rare spirit of human sym pathy. By many gracious acts they Created the feeling that they were n6t merely nurses but friends. Death took Edna Brockman when She had come safely through mountainous difficul ties to a time when she had a right to expect comparative ease. In Eugene she will be re membered not only as one of the best teach ers Eugene children ever had, but as a Woman who was uniquely successful as a wife and mother, With an invalid husband and a talented "child to care for she met great problems with clear-eyed courage and no self-pity. She was devoted and under standing without ever permitting herself to become blindly sacrificing or indulgent. The distinction which Frances Brockman has so well earned among artists is due largely to the courageous example and intelligent guid ance of her intelligent mother. Those who knew Mrs. Brockman will fcoon erase the memories , of tragedy. They will remember always a woman of noble Bplrlt and enduring character. They will re call countless instances of her wisdom and courage in meeting life and the joys and sorrows it brings to all of us sooner ' or later.-W. M. T. I MISS KATIE ' POTTER, 'MEL VI N. FREY TO WED WASHINGTON LETTER DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS As soon as the Rainbow girls left town, another group of delegates began arriving In Eugene. The youthful gloe of one and the serious ness of purpose of the other contrasted as they passed on railroads and highways. The hope of the veterans, one born of suf fering and sacrifice in a foreign hell in 1917 and 1918, is to better their lot in any possible way. There are many who fought in France who have been cast among the millions of unemployed since the extended depression Was recognized some years ago. Rightfully, those men who lived with the rats and the cooties, those fellows who crawled through mud and water of Flanders in that titanic struggle which didn't save democracy, should have any benefits of employment, especially by state or federal governments. The exception of course, the veterans themselves realize, is the fact that the can didate must be physically and mentally elig ible. There are many other problems before these men who offered everything and came home with bullet and gas wounds of flesh and soul. But one which should be uppermost in their goal list is the preventing America's tendency to go into future wars. These men, while they are still with America, are In a bolter position than any group ever will be to tell this generation of the red hades of their youth. A bit of the horror they know would stem the effect of foreign thrusts to Involve the United States in their petty diplomatic dickerings. With Uncle Sam's belp insured, they'd make a mountain of any Incident if they saw their aim, within reach, whether It be economic or political. If the men who have had their lives wrecked or side-tracked by war don't want their sons, their daughters, the Rainbow girls, to bear the brunt of another crazy ad venture across Ihe Atlantic, they'd better begin educating them while there's still time. W. H. aware mil i i n a i Nearly a score of American sailors asked permission to marry French girls before their ship sailed for the U. S. American girls would like to know how the French belles accomplished it. By JOHN W. KELLY Register-Guard Washington Reporter WASHINGTON, D. C, June 13. To the senate will be presented this week a bill to prevent the exportation of fir peeler logs and Port Orford cedar logs, it comes witn the ia vorable recommendation of the senate commerce committee and Is accompanied by a report which every lumberman and timbermart in the United States can read with profit. Exporters of peeler logs, opposing the measure, could not convince a majority of the committee that there should - be no curb 6n this business. The committee report (which will be submitted by Senator Bilbo, whose state has been de nuded and Impoverished), .will say that the demand for high grade size softwood timber has so diminished that timber resource, that now Pacific Northwest holds the only ac cessible supply; that "great powers" are making every effort to develop new sources or substitutes, but it is now obvious that the softwood forests of Oregon and Washington will become increasing ly important. It Is the centuries-old high grade large tim ber involved in the legislation, timber that can never be reproduced on a commercial basis. The chief forester has stated that the present standard of living in the northwest cannot be maintained unless a plan is effectuated Whereby the exces sive drain on old growth is decreased and the remaining limited supply Is conservatively cut So as to bridge the gap between the time the new growth is maturing and the old growth is depleted. Study by the commerce department, the re port will say, reveals that the total wage cost per thousand square feet of Douglas fir plywood amounts to $19.12, of which only $2 Is accounted for by logging operations. Therefore, when logs are exported there is a loss to American labor Of $17.01 per thousand square feet. While the bill covers a relatively small per centage of the total cut of softwood In the north-' West, it embraces Irreplacabie 1'aw material of the highest quality, for which there Is a rapidly growing demand in the United States. Statistics of the committee, embodied in the report, show standing timber On , the Pacific Coast as follows, in billion feet board measure: Douglas fir, Oregon 240; Washington 110; British Columbia 24; California 47. Hemlock, Washing ton 80; British Columbia 25; Oregon 24. Cedar, British Columbia 25; Washington 20; California 8; Oregon 6. So much heat and pressure Was applied on President Roosevelt that he has, by executive order, excluded the Farm Credit Administration from his reorganisation plan after Insisting that congress enact his program. In the reshuffle, the president placed the FCA under the department of agriculture aa waa the case with rural electri catien administration and ether independent agen cies having more or lest to do with farmers. flushed to Washington the field men df rCA, and they mobilized ail their power to make the president backtrack, The FCA overwhelmed Mr. Roosevelt. Although at his request, congress had enacted a law placing FCA under secretary Wal lace, he promptly proceeded to undo what con gress had done by an executive order. First tip off of the affair was a routine press release from agriculture stating that the FCA retains Us inde pendent status. Farm Credit Administration Ib hot wholly a government agency; It la more of a private enter prise, but the government has given It millions of dollars. a Following up the suggestion of Senator Vanden berg that One term Is enough for a president, Representative Homer Angell, Oregon, has intro-" duced a house joint resolution proposing an amend ment to the constitution changing a presidential term from four to six years and declarihg Ineliu Ible for president or vice president anyone who has served such a term. Nothing is expected to happen to the resolution. Some wonder Is being expressed why the marl lime commission is contracting for freighters with speed of 18 knots when, by the time they are in commission, they will probably be obsolete insofar as speed is concerned. Japnnesc now have freight ers making 18 knots and they have tankers with speed of 24 to 2S knots. The Japanese are con stantly Increasing the speed of their freighters and tankers, and they can run rings around Ameri can flag ships in similar service. Luckiest member of congress is Sol Bloom (he spent $1,BOO,000 Of tax money 10 tell Americans about George Washington), who Is th champion showman. Sam D. McReynolds, chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs, wanted to run for senator last year but was requested to continue in the house because if Mr. McReynolds went to the senate it would make Bloom chairman. So, McReynolds sacrificed his ambition and remained a house member. The only time the house rom mlttee has had an opportunity to shine was the coming of the British sovereigns. McReynolds was sick in a hospital and Bloom, as acting chair man, had the chance of a lifetime hobnobbing with royalty. Then he attempted to force through the committee the "cash and carry" neutrality bill the day before the king arrived in order to tell the king what he had accomplished. Hamilton Fish is openly charging that everything Bloom has been doing Is for his personal self glorification. Bloom Is elected regularly by Tammany. AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH By DR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Whenever ojic reads a list of the symptoms of people in association with various diseases, one is likely to be struck with the fact that two of the most common symptoms of ail sorts of disease, including diseases of the stomach, are nausea and vomiting. These conditions occur not only in in fections and disturbances affecting the nervous sys tem, in diabetes and In kidney disease but In all Sorts of conditions generally. Obviously, therefore, it Is not desirable for a doctor to try to treat nausea and vomiting as if they were a disease in themselves, but rather to attempt to handle these conditions merely to bring the patient comfort while determining exactly what Is wrong. a a a If a person vomits, it is probably an Indication that the stomach Is trying to be empty. Not much is to be gained, therefore, by pouring a lot of things into the stomach. Most doctors are like ly to recommend to patients first of all that they do not take any food for a least 24 hours and sus tain themselves with warm fluids. The person who has been vomiting a great deal loses fluid from the body. The loss of fluid may In itself produce serious symptoms. The doc tor will endeavor to give this fluid in various ways according to the condition of the patient. The doctor Is not likely to recommend the giv ing of action of the bowel. Neither is he likely to recommend the giving of nnrcotlc drugs to quiet the action of tho stomach; the use of such cathartics In order to speed up the drugs will tend to mask symptoms which may tend to indicate Uie real responsibility for the condiUou.
