NO RECOVERY
FOR QUACKERY
DOCTORS TOLD
Portland, Feb. 21 (,1V-There will
be no recovery in the current de
pression of quack nostrums.
So. Dr. Frank R. Menne, patholo
gist of the University of Oregon me
dical school, told members of the
Pacific Coast Surgical association
here today as the group met for a
series of clinical sessions and lec
tures, and for demonstrations of the
newest of the scalpel's art in special
operations.
Contrary to popular opinion. Dr.
Menne said. Increase In cancer can
be traced only indirectly to a civi
lization whose newer ways have been
blamed generally for the prevalence
of the malady.
Rather, he said, the improvement
of diagnosis and the growing move
ment of the public to consult phy
sicians rather than to use quack
cures, has given cancer what he de
scribed as largely a "book" increase.
"While there have been slight in
creases," he said, "in not only can
cer, heart disease, and a small per
centage of Brighfs disease, the
world probably is in Its safest period
in history with relation to cancer."
Dr. Menne said that some of the
old cancer "cures" not only had no
beneficial effect but in some instan
ces caused tlie disease they were re
puiea to cure.
The newest discoveries of medi
cine and surgery occupied the physi
cians in today's session, the first of
a four-day conference. Among the
most interesting lectures was a dis
cussion by Dr. H B. Myers, profes
sor of pharmacology at the Oregon
medical school, who dealt with stu
dies of fungicidal growths. Discov
eries in this field, he said, have led
to the rehabilitation of many work
ers, particularly those in canneries
and in similar industries, who have
become Inflicted by fungicidal infec.

To the Editor: The recent in
vestigation of the sheriff's office
has brought out some interesting
facts.
The mileage claims totaled 20,236
or 1593 miles more than the year
1932, at six cents per mile this
would be $95.58. The sheriffs of
fice seems to be a great deal more
active in running down farm thefts
than it has been for years. They
got one gang of poultry thieves
that had been operating on a large
scale for a number of years, and if
this one gang had not been stop
ped, they alone would have cost
, the farmers of this, and nearby
' counties, many times $05,58 or the
extra mileage for the year.
The farmer knows that he can
get an officer when he needs one.
The farmer has about the least po
lice protection of any one and when
a sheriff is willing to give him
police service and investigate farm
thefts he should not be discour
aged. The amount saved on the
board of one prisoner for 1933, as
compared to the cost for 1932 would
about make up the cost for the
extra mileage.

FARCE COMEDY
FEATURES KEITH
WILL CONTEST
Los Angeles, Feb. 21 WV The eon
teat of Miss Margaret Keith's will.
now in lta eleventh week and still
playing to good sued crowds la
Judge Robert Kenny's court, is mak
ing up in comedy what It lacks ua
brevity.
Last week a steamfitter sana oa
eratie anas for tha Jury and tha
courtroom spectators applauded,
much u the consternation and in
d 1r nation of the bailiff.
Today a bit of pantomime literally
rocked" judge. Jury and spectatora.
It followed a Ions; argument on tha
word "vlsnomy" which even that
Judge admitted was unknown to him.
Baldwin Robinson, who had asked
a witness to describe Miss Keith a
vlsnomy. leaped for a dictionary and
in so doing knocked over a water
filled vase of almond blossoms. Tha
water spilled over the clerk's desk
and surged over a transcript and re
cord of opposing lawyers.
Robinson won his point, proving
by the dictionary that vlsnomy
means countenance or visage, bus
Robinson's associate. A. Brlgham
Rose, got an even bigger hand, when
to demonstrate the neckline of a
pink housedress Miss Keith wore
before she committed suicide last
April, he removed his coat and out
on tlie dress.
Rose stands more than six feel
tall annd weighs more than 201
pounds. The bailiff almost cracked
his gavel.
Miss Keith left her million dollar
estate to her nephew, Albert C. Al
len, young farmer of Medford, Ore.
Other relatives are contesting tha
win on the grounds that the wealthy
spinster was of unsound mind. Tha
Keith fortune was made in Utah ail

HAYDEN TALKS
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Man prays for peace but prepare
for war to protect his privileges and
tha self-preservation of hard won
liberties. Captain Miller B. Hayden,
justice of the peace of the Salem
district, told the Rotary club Wed
nesday noon in representing tha
Marlon-Polk chapter of the officers
reserve in observance of national de
fense week. Quoting Theodore Roo
sevelt, the speaker urged his audi
ence "to speak softly but to carry a
big stick."
Captain Hayden held It a poor
business policy to place the nation
in a position where It cannot with
stand a foe from without, hold law
and order to protect its citizenry
abroad.
Preparedness In a moderate degre
and sufficient to meet any demand
tnat mignt be made was advocated.
The navy was held inadequate alona
to police properties already held by
the United States and If called to
foreign waters, would leave this
country at the mercy of any foe.
wars In the past have been won by
the citizen soldiery and passage of
the army measure now before con
gress is necessary for training pur
poses even though military equip
ment is not needed. Training is ear
ned on through tne ROTC, CMTO
and reserve officers, he said.
