JUST AS PROUD
OF course, vre would have, liked to gee Clark Spurlock,
our Eugene Boy Scout, chosen for the trip to the
South Pole with Commander Byrd. It would have been
a great opportunity for Clark and an' honor for Eugene,
lyut we feel very proud of the. young man just the same.
The appointment went to an older and stronger boy, and
this is probably a wise choice, for the trip to the South
Pole is an undertaking to tax the strongest men. Clark
is only 17, and ho has plonty of time ahead.
And at his ago, just to have been one of the six
considered for the honor is quite an. achievement. Just
to have had that thrilling trip to New York and those
few glorious days with Commander Byrd and other
celebrities is quite a reward. We like the splendid boyish
enthusiasm which runs through Clark's story of his trip
as told to The Guard reporters on his return. It reveals
the kind of boy he, is and the kind, of boys the Scout
organization hero is making, manly boys who act rather
than try to bo like men.
SMITH'S TURN NEXT
O'
kN "Wednesday, at Albany, New York, Governor Alfred
" K Smitfi will arc- through the formality of accepting
the Democratic nomination and will tell the world how
ho proposes to run things if he is elected president. As
a nubho document. Governor Smith's speech Wednesday
will be of extreme interest and importance for a number
of very good reasons.
Far more than the Democratic platform set forth at
Houston it will bo an authentic declaration of what the
American public may expect. The Democratic platform,
even more than most platforms was a hopeless hodge
podge of ambiguous generalities and impossible prom
ises. Smith will undoubtedly declare that ho "stands on
the platform" of his party, but everyone, knows that it
is far more accurate to say that tho party is waiting on
him for leadership.
In fact ho has already assumed tho leadership by
breaking away from his party's blundering effort to cap
italize on his wetness while handing its dry followers a
pacifier in tho shape of a promise of rigid enforcement.
Under Smith's leadership the Democratic party is wet
and stands for modification of tho prohibition amend
ment. , . .
It remains to bo, seen whether any other major issues
will emorgo undor Smith's leadership. Herbert Hoover
has sot up a definite program on farm reljof and tho
tariff and administrative economy and tho development
of natural rosourocs whioh it will be Smith's opportunity
to meet. It will be interesting to see how he does it,
for ho is a plain talker and some of tho party chiofs who
would like to have him talk only in parables aro apt to
find him impatient of restraint.
At 3:30, our time, Wednesday afternoon, tho Demo
cratic chief will bo on tho radio. This paper and others
will carry the text of his speech. Radio and tho great
news services have inndo it possible for everybody to sit
in on a grunt national debate..
has mado one of the sound mi t rail
road properties In the United States,
knows better. The Great Northern,
which has pushed its service south
across interior Oregon to the sreat
nine belt of Klamath, knows better.
The Southern Pacific, which has spent
minions in a new crossing of uie
Cascade range and which has speed
ed its trains in needed example to
other carriers, knows better.
In fact, the rnilronda know no other
Pacific ronHt state is more open to de
velopment than Oregon. They know
that other regions lens productive
have developed faster because better
rail transportation was xiven. They
know that Oregon has progressed
slower because it is less developed as
to rail transportation than any other
state of the Union.
Ho why ploy a game? Why not be
sincere? And why Imagine that the
Interstate commerce commission will
not realize why railroad witnesses
testified to the prosperity of the far
mer in the Hoch-Hmith hearings and
to the desncrate nlinht of airririiltiirw
in the crosB-state hearing?
Meanwhile, the cross-state railroad
was once conditionally promised by
the Union Pacific. Is not everyth'ng
and more here now than when thut
promise was made?

IN NINETEEN HOURS
I
N eighteen hours and fifty-eight minntos, well, call it
nineteen .hours, Pilot Art Qoebol has crossed tho con
tinent from Los Angeles, to New York in his piano,
Yankee fioodlo and carriod a passenger. He has cut
nearly eight hours (seven hours and forty-two minutes
to bo exact) from the record mad'o by Lieutenants John
A. McOoady and Oakley Kelley in 1023, just five, short
years back. Here wo liavo a moasuro ot aerial progress to
date and a promiso of what the. futuro holds for us.
Tho time is at hand when thero will bo regular eight
een hour pafisonger service betwoon Uio I'aoifio coast
and Now iork, possibly even faster sorvico. It may not
become the prevalent modo of travel but it will ho a
mode widely used for tho value of such a sorvico to bus
iness is at once apparent. Most of us can remember
wuen tno Twanliolli Uentury and tho Broadway Limitod
first mado their eighteen hourVuns betwoon Chicago and
Now York, back about 1SK)0. Thoso two groat trains and
thoir suocossors havo boon of incalculable valua.to bus
iness. Some pooplo said that such fast service never would
be in general demand, especially at extra faro ratos.
Yot today wo find thoso trains running day in and day
out in many sections and cauli section crowded to ca
pacity. To tho business man it has meant a groat deal
to be ablo to do business in Chicago one morning and in
Now York tho next. In tho near futuro, and restricted
only by tho limitations of safety and price, there will bo
just as much demand for tho eighteen hour servico be
tween Los Angeles nnd San Francisco and Eugeno and
uiu nig cuius oi ino cast.
More than ever mileage is falling behind as the true
measure of distance In speaking, of the distanoo between
cities, nowadays, it's timo that counts.

toxic fecal matter. At least 2 enemas
dully should be taken, and nore if
necessary to assist In eliminating in
testinal gas.
No food of any kind should be
used for at least four or five days
no milk, soup, coffee, cocoa, or any
other drinks, except whatever water
in desired. This is a simple "water"
fast, and will bring about the quick
est relief in getting rid of asthmatic
wheezing, and will work wonders in
assisting Jn the elimination of accu
mulated bronchial mucus.
The water fast should be continued
for longer than four or five days if
it is necessary, extending it to ten
or fifteen days if symptoms persist
or the tongue remains heavily coated
and the hresth foul. No fear need be
felt about the consequences of the
longer fast, as only good results will
follow. This fast has ben taken by
many thousands, nnd thousnnds of ac
tual cures reported, without a fllngle
harmful experience. ,
After all symptoms have subsided,
and It seems adviHalile to break the
fast, the following dietary regime
should be followed: I'pon arising in
the morning take a few calisthenic
exercises in a room with plenty of
free circulation of air. Follow the ex
ercises with a cold shower bath then.
IJRKAKFAST: The whites of two
ecus prepared in any manner except
by frying; two or three pieces of Mel
ba tonst, browned all the way through.
i noire ot a smal di.h of one of the
following stewed fruits: Prunes, fics.
raisins or anple sauce. These should
be nrepnred without adding any sugur.
No cream nor milk should be used.
LUNCHEON: Choice, of ona or
more, as desired, of the folio win ir
vecetables: Celery, spinach, small
string benns, asparngus, aummer :
squash, cucumbers, egg plant, small I
beets and tops, small turnips and tops. ;
small carrots, small parsnips, lettuce,,
okra, chapotes, oyster plant (salsify).
mauow, anie, zucchini, parsley, nas
turtium leaves and flowem. endive. 1
avocado (alligator pear), or ripe !
olives, ibese may be used either
cooked or raw. or both cooked and
raw, and in any reasonable quantity, j
Iftte In tha afternoon nm mnm
calisthenic exercises should be taken. '
as well as a fairly long walk, followed i
by a shower bath and thirty minutes ,
rest in nea i
DINNER: Choice of one of the fol. I
lowing proteins: Lleef, mutton, chick j
en. fish or rabbit. No more than one- I
quarter of a pound should ba used. :
The vegftahtes should be chosen from j
those listed for luncheon, and tha
combinations should be kept simple.
Mv suggestion Is to use only one '
cooked and one raw non-starrhy Teg- j
etable at thia evening meal No des-serta.
An enema should be taken just be
fore retiring. Tha daily use of tho
enema should be continued for at least
several weeks.
