SPRING STYLE SHOW

I I
rnHE spring style show in Eugene is another one of those
events which help to introduce the city to the large
territory which ii serves. Eugene with its modern stores,
its interesting theaters, its colleges, its churches, its rec
reational as well as its commercial opportunities, is not
the result of chance but a development which has been
inevitable and necessary to the convenience of the 50,000
people within a day's journey.
But as wa have said many times before, the modern
city of Eugene has sprung into being bo rapidly and yet
seemingly so gradually that we have still quite a job of
telling and showing people m .Lane county tne remark
able city they have helped to create here. The style
" show helps to display , the opportunities of the new
Eugene ana 11 is an exoeuwii uiiug.
We can well be proud of the position our cty has
reached in the mercantile world. We can well be proud
of the fact that one can find m the stores of this city
not only the necessities of life but all the rare and valu
able things which can 'be found in any great center. It
should ba a matter of pride to the Eugenean in display
ing something new and beautiful to say: "Yes, I bought
this, and you can buy anytmng you want right m
Eugene."
BOILING OVER
C ENATOR JIM REED demands Secretary' Mellon 's
U resignation. On the other side of the house a gentle
man from Indiana demands that Governor Al Smith be
called to testify on certain possible aspects of the Teapot
Dome scandals. All of which leads the wary citizen to
suspect that there is a little more than mere coincidence
in the dating of the grand Teapot revivals in an election
year. ( -
It is really too bad that so much politics, obvious and
petty politics, enters into . such a serious matter. The
"howl for Mr. Mellon 's resignation at this time will not
shake the prevailing confidence of the pubric in Mr.
Mellon 's personal honesty nor depreciate seriously the
appreciation of his ability as a public official. The shot
in the dark at the man who may be the Democratic
party's chief hope will not do him any serious harm.
But the political uproar is apt to prove a serious dis
traction from the really important work of running the
real criminals down. The efforts in both parties to
build political capital out of the malodorous refuse of
Teapot Dome will not contribute , to confidence in the
sincerity and efficiency of the investigations. They will
serve only to increase the public's confusion as to the
facts and to intensify the suspicion that all the pots
and kettles are rather sooty at Washington.

Why should the question of reli

from office? It dos not in the states.
New York elects Catholics and
Protestants without regard to reli

states. Chicago electa a Catholic
mayor, then a republican, as other
cities do, without a thought of reli
gion. So should the nation. Smith's
Ideas of sumntusrv law and his
church' affiliation will not turn over
tho Bouth to a party that recognizes
negro political eqnalitarianism.
Walsh, like Reed, is a great public
prosecutor and exposer.of corruption,
but he lacks the record of construc
tive achievement and proven execu
tive capacity enjoyed by Smith.
Hence he will not figure soriousiy in
the campaign, save as a pawn in the

FROM KANSAS
ED HOWE'S famous paper The Atchison (Kansas)
Daily Globe carries every day across the front page
a catchy oatch-line with one of those-' pungent senti
ments which have brought fame to Mr. Howe. One of the
latest to catch the eye is: "What this country needs
is fewer stadiums and more free school books! What
eay!"
Now you can take that to mean a good many things.
You can take it simply a protest against the over
emphasis on athletics in our American high schools and
colleges. You can take it as a hint that we may be neg
lecting our common schools in our efforts to build
elaborate systems of higher education. You can take it
as a plea for more rational educational effort all around.
Any way you choose to look at it there is sound sense
in it. Many a good dock walloper has been ruined by
the frantio insistence that he become an A. B. Many a
fine scholar has missed a brilliant soholastio career by
reason of the uninspired and uninspiring manner in
which he has been handled in the grades.
There is a very simple definition of education to
tram eacn person to be usoiul and happy according to
his ability. There are too many misfits, too many un
happy people all about us to permit much preening on
wnat we nave accompusnea m education, we nava
made and we are making progress, but there is some
justice in tho Kansas philosopher 's query, .
HOLLAND'S GOLD
WE talk so much about the struggle between New
York and London for the world's financial suprem
acy that we often forgot tha large part that Holland
plays in the markets where gold is king.
The thrifty Dutchman let the world wage its wars
while he tended strictly to his knitting. His vast colonial
empire in the Orient exported huge quantities of import
ant material, and he made the most of it. Furthermore,
at home he was a neutral island in a sea of warring
nations. As a result, many financial transactions that
ordinarily would have taken place olscwiere were carried
on in Amsterdam.
As a result, Holland today is "sitting pretty."
Financiers of New York and London have tentacles
reaching all over the world; but so, also, do tho bankers

IT was a very protty sight, this

little cupcakes splashed about and
had a lot of fun. Said downy, "Why

down by the bunk."- The .bunch began
to run.
Then one small cupcake yelled,
"Hello I l'U bet yon Tinies) do not

The Tinies thought for quits a while.
Then Scouty answered with a smile,
"We've tried to guess the answer,
but wo cau't, we must confess."
The cupcake then said. "Well, yno
see, we must be sweet as we can be

"Well, well." said Sooutr. "That's

They looked around, and right Deer

ries away the waste.
The nervous system, the muscular
system, and the body structure are
like servants in the body with their
own work to do, each one more or
less dependent v on the other, but
in health working together in har
mony for the greatest good to the
whole body. It should be necessary
for the body to have any definite dime
for housocleaning, as the functions of
tiie body are uo arranged that assim
ilation and elimination should be
properly balanced; but, because of
errors in living, unsanitary surround
ings, overwork, and a multitude of
other causes, the average person if

There Is great hope that in the fu
ture men will live so carefully that
thore will be a proper' balance and
coordination between all of the bodily
functions. Man will then live in
health much longer than be does to
day. But there Is so much to be known,
and we must admit that we know so
little today about the care of the

As we are experimenting without

making mistakes, would it not be wine
to occasionally use some simple meas
ures which will bring about a good
bodily hotiRecleaning aud so help all
of the bodily forces to a new start?
This tnuy seem to the reader to be a
sensible iden. But just when are you
going to start following this plan?
You made good resolutions on New
Year's Day. Suppose you start this
very day, which Is the "first day of
spring" and follow a careful regime
for the next few days which will give
your bedy a chance to eliminate ac
cumulated bodily toxins.
No, I don't mesn tomorrow or
next week but TODAY I
As the Scriptures say, "Now Is the
accepted time; now Is the day of sal
vation!" Let's all miss our next regular
meal and take instead a meal of some
kind of fruit, such ns oranges, apples,
plneapplo or perhaps grapejuice. Then
let's continue missing our regular
meats for several days and just sub
stitute fruit for each meal.
When taking this fruit diet the
body has a better chnnce to throw out
accumulated wastes while not bur
dened with the work of assimilating
food. Four or five days of the fruit
diet will bring about very remarkable
changes. Even though you appear to
be in good health today, you do not
know how good you OAN feel after
a few days of such restricted diet
ing. Your step will become more elas
tic,, your mind clearer, and thoss who
have snnoyin g aches and pains will
find these symptoms will disappear
like magic.
You can take a laxative to help
matters along, but I would advise you
to use one or two enemas a day in
place of any cathartic or laxative, as
the results will be much better.
After a few days of the fruit fast,
start following the menus published
in this column each Saturday. If you
have any particular ailment which
still persists, write to me and ask for
a speciul treatise on that trouble and
I will be Kind to mall it to you.
Questions and Answers
Question: Mrs. S. F. asks: "Should
one take medicine containing strych
nine if the heart is fast, painful and
jumpy, or is it only for slow hearts?"
Answer: Strychnine is usually given
to enervated patients with slow
pulses. When the heart is fast, pain
ful and jumpy, it is usually because
of overeating or gas pressure against
the heart at that particular time.
Question: J. K. asks: "Is it true
thnt we should not combine starches
with fruit or acids? What effect does
it. have on the body?
Answer: Starches digest with less
trouble if no fruits or sugars are used
at the same meal. This is a proven
fact, no matter what theories are for
mulated to account for it. The simple
reason seems to be that starches are
digested in an alkaline medium, and
that fruits and sugars only stimulate
more of the acid digestive fluids of
the stomach. This certainly cannot
assist in the digesting of starches, and
appears to interfere with it.
Question: Anxious asks: "Are
prescription tablets injurious? If not,
would it be harmful to take four tab
lets per day? What is there in them
to reduce one? If they are harmful,
can you give a prescription not injur
ious to reduce one?"
Answer: I do not recommend any
medicinal preparations in this column,
hut can assure you that so far as 1
know there are no reducing pills
which are harmless. Perhaps the least
harmful ones are those which are
only laxatives. The simple, safe plan
Is to reduce through diet and exer

EUGENE, March 21. (To the
Editor). It is with great interest
that we read the figures and also
how the park chairman estimates the
good that the municipal camp does.
We will grant that some gasoline
and supplies are purchased outBide
of the walls of Eugene if the tourist
stops outside of the limits of the city,
but we were not aware that because
of $1 spent for tourist supplies out
side of the city that it did not bene
fit the city as a whole, Eugene may
look forward to wonderful possibili
ties If Its trade territory shall be nar
rowed down to within its border, the
city limits line.
We will grant that 80,000 automo
biles have stopped in the city auto
Sark, and that there have been 100,
00 persons, but we doubt if these
have spent $100,000 for the simple
reason that when they are routed in
to the city municipal auto camp there
is no possible way- for the Eugene
merchants to sell them anything for
they do not come in or out through
the business section
Of course we all think that the
spot where the auto camp is located
is beautiful, and thanks to those who
are far sighted enough to see that the
time has come when the children of
Eugene are entitled to have their
play ground returned to them, but
when it comes to showing off Eu
gene we never could see just whnt
beauties there are along the route in
and out of this camp, at least we
fw.1 nuite certain that should we de
sire to show a stranger Eugene and
its beauties we would not pick tnis
route.
Eugene should do one of two things
if it is to continue in the auto camp
business: Get a desirable site, and
put In about $100,000 and give this
locality a real auto camp, or get out
of the business so that Eugene can
get Bucb a camp through the chan
nels of private capital. It is one thing
quite certain that the present private
camps or new capital will not come in
and develop to any great extent un
til the city is either in or out of the
auto camp business. IDA JONES.
