THE smashup at Alder street and Thirteenth avenue
Sunday 'afternoon in which William Martin, a by
stander, lost his life, argues powerfully for the adoption
in Eugene of the system of stop streets which has helped
to curb motor accidents in many other cities.
A driver has been held for this fatality. It will be
for the courts to determine and assess the blame in this
particular case, and in the meantime, it is only fair to
withhold individual judgments. The authorities are well
equipped to deal with this affair as a special case.
But this accident should be a starting point for the
prevention of similar accidents which, though not always
so serious, are altogether too common. We are relying
in Eugene on the obsolete "rule of the road" that where
two streets cross, '.'the driver on the right" has "the
right of way," whatever that may mean.
' The fact is that we have very short blocks, many cor
ners where vision is obstructed, a great deal of rapid
driving in spite of everything the police can do to check
it, a great deal of fumbling and confusion at corners
while the bold "shoot through" and the timid do "the
Alphonse and Gaston act."
Let the pavement be wet, let one driver set his foot
on the accelerator instead of the brake, as often happens,
even where there is no element of contributory negligence
or recklessness, and you are likely to get a smash, or a
car skidding up over the sidewalk, and jeopardy to limb
and me.
Already there are certain heavily used streets, such
as Hiighth, liaeventh, Thirteenth, Nineteenth, South Wil
lamette, portions of University avenue, Fairmount boule
vard, and many other thoroughfares which careful
drivers approach with extreme caution. .
Some time, in the near future, Eugene will need auto
matic "stop and go" lights at every important point, but
that's an improvement that will take considerable money
and the city hasn't funds tor this purpose at present, in
the meantime the obvious and inexpensive remedy is the
establishment of stop streets.
They will not perform miracles, but they will elimin
ate most of the unavoidable accidents by making the
rules of the road perfectly definite at all important points.
They will not eliminate the deliberate violators and
chance takers, bait they will make them a whole lot easier
to catch. .

HOUSTON HUSTLES
THE city of Houston is making great preparations for
the Democratic convention, according to news dis
patches. It has ordered thousands of shrubs to plant
around its publio buildings. Every vacant lot in town
is to be planted with flowers and shrubs. Contractors
have agreed to finish all paving jobs before the conven
tion opens. Main highways leading into the city will be
put in shape and all detours will be. eliminated.
It begins to sound as though the delegates to that
convention were to be lucky men. It is mighty fine to
read of oivio pride like that. It presages an open-hearted
weloome to the hosts of Democracy. -

MERICAN
HISTORY
A LAWYER who has his client plead guilty often
serves the publio in more ways than one.
Young Velma West was about to go on trial in Ohio
the other day for killing her husband. She had skilled
attorneys, an for weeks they had been planning her de
fense. There was the prospect of a long-drawn-out trial
that would fill the publio mind for many daysj n&ny
highly unpleasant bits of evidonoe were to be presented,
and many innocent people, called as witnesses, were to
undergo disagreeable notoriety.
Then, at the last minute, Mrs. West's lawyers induced
her to plead guilty. The trial was avoidod.
Thus the state not only was saved the expense of a
trial. It was spared an extondod, unsavory spectacle.
The lawyers, are to be" thanked. .
CUBA WILL WANT AUTOS
CUBA is hard at work building roadsi and in two
years will have completed an extensive central high
. way system, according to a report from the U. S. De
partment of Commeroe.
This will moke Cuba a much bettor market for Am
erican automobilos and will help stimulate production
in American factories.
Our prosperity has a very complicated base. It seems
odd to think that such things as roads in Cuba could
effect workers in Detroit and Flint. But that is the way
it is. Truly, modern business is a mosoio, and many
strange pieces are fitted into. the pattern.

Helnlna Ruoture
Ad t ATntniiifwi in vesterday's ar
ticle, an inguinal hernia is caused
m.iniv h the weakness of the ab
dominal muacleB and the fact that
they cannot properly retain an uu
osiiai neeamiPA to to intestines either
distended frof food or gas, or which
has prolapsed so low in the ab
domen as to make a heavy burden
unon the weakened -walla 01 tne low
a, nhHnmen.
If the nerma nas nor progressed
ton far there ia a possibility of a
cure thrnneh first tue development
of the abdominal muBClea and, at the
same time, a reduction 01 tne in
temiil nre.HSura.
Aa soon aa a hernial sack begins
to show itself either by symptoms
of pain or through being discovered
by palpation, it is wise for the pa
tient to immediately secure a good
Fiinture aunnort and wear it con
stantly until be is assured by bis
doctor that the cure is chmDlete.
The next thing to do ia to start de
veloping tne anuommai m u 8 c 1 e a
through taking a careful course of
"setting-up" exercises. All of those
exercises taken while lying on the
back will be helpful. Any book on
physical culture wili explain theRe
exercises, or I will be gtud to send
you a special chart 01 them it yi
will write to me in care of The
Guard.
These exercises must be taken
very carefully at first and used at
least twice daily, gradually increas
ing the exerciBea each day and add-
ing new ones as the strength of the
abdominal muscles permits.
At the Bame time as the support is
applied and the exercises started,
patient should use all meaaures nec
essary to produce aa flut on abdomen
aa possible. The quantity of food
used must be kept to the minimum
of the body s requirements. All eene
cioiiy gas-torming toods such aa
onions, cooked cabbage, etc.. should
be carefully avoided. Only good food
combinations should be used, such as
those I suggest in the weekly menus
which are printed each Saturday in
tnis column. Xlie menus are always
outlined tor the following week.
Watch for them and. learn how to
combine your foods.
It is a good plan to take at least
one enema each day and perhapa
better to take two, one in the morn
ing and one in the evening, using
only one quart of plain water each
time. The enema should be taken in
the knee-chest position or while ly
ing on the back, and the rupture
support should be worn at the some
time to prevent any undue pressure
which may be caused by the tem
porary distention of the intestines
ny the water used for the enema.
These enemas should be continued
for several weeka or even several
months if necessary, as It la worth
while- to use all of these measures
in attempting to cure the hernia so
as to avoid a surgical operation
which may become necessary unless
every helpful precaution is tnlten.
Long walks should be taken each
day to increase the general strength
and produce a better tone of ail of
the muscles and organs of the pelvis.
Tbe patient should have his doc
tor examine him at frequent inter
vals to see if a cure Is being ef
fected. Questions and Answers - -
Question: Esther writes: '1 have
chronic nppendk-itis and have heard
that olive oil is very good. How
much should I take and how often?"
Answer: Olive oil Is a good oil to
use at any time and if used in large
quantities it does have the effect of
lubricating the bowels, and is a
good remedy to use In overcoming
chronic sppendlcitia. It may be taken
on salads, or in a larae dose of n
much aa four ounces at bedtime. A
good wsy to take this large dose is
to combine It with an equal amount
of grapefruit juice, and drink it just
before retiring, as far away from the
evening meal as possible.
Question: Mra. W. II. asks: "Why
Is the sulphur on 'dried fruits hnrm-
tuif
Answer: If any sulnhur la left ..
dried fruits it may prove harmful
due to the excessive gas which is
proaucea wnen too much sulphur is
used in the diet Very little sulphur
Is used at the present time In drying
fruits, and the onlv onea of trhi.ii
you may he suspicious are the light
coiorea nga ana nn sins which are
often bleached by sulphur gas.
Question: Miss B. writes: "I am
a person seemingly in good health
but on arising in the morning, under
neath my eyes is- very swollen and
puffed. During the day this seems to
go away, only to leave creases and
marks. I drink hot water in the
morning about a half hour before
breakfaat. Is this all right?"
Answer: Tbe swelling is due to
some congestion in either your
blood or lyinphutic circulation. Such
congestion may come from either
kidney or heart trouble. Do not
guess about it, but have a good
diagnosis made.
