Whew! Oood Lord Marie, tha child drink .... By JOHN KELLY ncgislor-Guard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec.21. Criticism of reciprocal trade agreements by Oregon's Charley McNury got uncier the skin of Cordoll Hull, secre tary of slate. Many, many typewritten panes were used by .Secretary Hull to tell McNary that the latter, in substance, doesn't know what he is talking about and reminding the Oregon senator of the manifold blessings the trade agreements have brought to products (agricultural) in the Pacific Northwest. McNary is now gathering am munition preparatory to giving Hull both barrels. In a public statement, McNary, senate republi can leader, pointed out how the depreciated cur rency of Canada, France, Britain, is making matters worse for the American producers. Because of the depreciated currency Canada, as an example, is dumping trainloads of apples into the United States; that another phase of the currency situation is that the countries specified arc not buying from the U. S. The secretary of slate can, if he will, remedy the matter by modification or cancellation of the trade treaties. The trade treaties arc the babies of Secretary Hull and for weeks he has been defending them; hitting at anyone who criticizes them. In the lengthy answer sent to McNary the secretary failed to touch on the issue raised by the Oregon senator. He did, however, intimate that McNary lacked facts; lacked information of how agriculture in Ore gon and Washington has been aided through the trade agreements. The secretary of state left himself, wide open. Senator McNary is preparing a statement show ing how Hull's treaty with Canada sold the Oregon-Washington lumber industry down the river; how treaties have' been costly to the apple, pear, prune and other fruit growers of the two states; how the treaties have created competition for the stockmen; what has happened to the shingle in dustry in short Pacilic Northwest industries gen crally, without one agricultural product being bene filed. Secretary Hull wrote to McNary that exports lo Canada, franco and Britain arc actually large, notwithstanding the currency question, but ne glectcd to mention that the bulk of these exports consist or war materials, such as airplanes, air plane engines, bombers, material they can purchase nownere else except in the United States whil the allies are acquiring their other supplies from mcir colonies and commonwealths of the Empire uinn t, wrote nun, nc place a quota on im portation of furs from Canada to protect American lur larmers.' Wasn't that a genuine modification? Being prepared is a brief which will show the slate department what the depreciated currency of Canada is doing to the Pacific Northwest lumber situation. I he grange and other groups are also assembling data and Senator McNary is collect ing statistics from the departments of commerce and agriculture. He may demonstrate that some oi the current exports (cotton and tobacco) are ncing subsidized by the American taxpayers. MISS HALL1E DUDREY, LAUREN Q ALE WILL BE 21. id Wedding to Be Event of Holiday Time By MARIAN LOVVRY JNTERESTING news to many uni versity friends is announcement of tile approaching marriage of Miss Ilallie M. Dudrcy to Lauren H. (Laddie) Gale. Application for the license was filed Wednesday at Vancouver, Wash., and the wed ding is expected to be an event of Christmas week-end. Miss Dudrey is a graduate of the University of Oregon and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. She has been teaching at Thurston. Mr. Gale," widely known as all American forward on the Univer ity of Oregon national collegiate championship basketball team of last year, is a member of Phi Delta Thetii fraternity on the campus.

(Chadwick's grandfather was secretary of stale and governor of Oregon). Eleven highway patrolmen in California were injured in September while testing ap plicants for driving lessons. It's a lot safer just to go out after public enemies. A Hollywood gentleman, who makes his living by kissing a young woman in lipstick tests, smashed his face by running into a door. Probably still in ecstasies over his work. Just to keep the record straight. That article in Time, news magazine, about Charles Linza Mc Nary, of Salem, Ore., having breakfast with p,-pi. dent Roosevelt "sometimes thrice a week" where he is "constantly counseled with," just isn't correct. It has been many a long day since the Oregon senator had breakfast at the While House and he called but once ( Time was correct saying he used the side entrance) for a private confab since the adjournment ol congress last August, and that was when Mr. Roosev elt discussed something more im portant than politics.

The male sex hormone, which is scientifically called tcstoterono propionate, has now been shown lo be of value particularly in men who have lost the function of certain glands because of disease which necessitated surgical operation, because of accident, or because ol sonic failure at birth. Men of tiie Icmmine type, when given this sub stance, produce a growth of beard and develop a deepening of the voice, and show general increased masculinity. i ne material is also used i past Ihe age of 50. who. in some instances io pass mrougii a period resembling of life in women. r...... : ...l i.. ,i in itial ly signuictjii in relationship to the ii.-i: in i nc leinaie sex Hormone is its effect on cases of leukoplakia. In this condition, there is a thickening of the surface of the tongue and some tunes of (he membranes lining the checks. ' Investigations also showed that these glandular materials, when injected into animals in excessive amounls, stimulate the growth of cancer, partlcu arly when injected into mice of a cancer strain. In human beings, instances are reported in which there has been sudden, massive swelling of the lircasls. These occurrences indicate the nccesiitv for extreme caution and control in the use of these powiful preparations. As Ihe year ended, it was announced that a synthetic substitute tor the female sex hormone had been discovered. The product is called stil bestcrol. Much interest during 1030 was centered on the numerous hormones which are derived from the pituitary gland and the relationship of this gland to the other glands of the body. The pituitary gland seems to be the source of hormones concerned with growth, with the flow of mother's milk when she is nursing a baby, with the hair, and with all of the sexual functions of the body. No doubt. 1040 will see new hormones isolated from the pituitary gland. 1 HOLD SILVER TEA YONCALLA, Dec. 21.

Recipe Ideas Rv NFA Service pLUM PUDDING for Christmas dinner is like Santa Claus to the Christmas stocking almost a necessity. Some may prefer ice cream with a rich sauce, or fruit cake with ice cream on top of it. Mince pie belongs in' the festive menu, too. But for the sake of tradition, plum pudding is usually the cornerstone of the dessert. Today almost every high class baker and confectioner puts out a special plum pudding for the holi days. You steam it at home just before serving with hard sauce. However, in many households, making the plum pudding is part of the Christmas ritual. And in others, puddings are made to be given as presents on Christmas day. If you plan to give a friend one of your puddings, notify her in advance so she will allow space in her menu for it. Here's a fine recipe for plum pddinq: Hin Mine plum pudding is part of the ceremony in many house holds. Just before the pudding is brought into the dining room, a jigger of strong brandy is poured over il and then lighted. It will arrive in beautiful flames.
