A JSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITY
LOUIS E. BEAN
TS tha death of Lools E, Bmi, this community had lost citizen
who ha wrred this city, I na coim.tr tad the state of
Oregon with honor and distinction. Mr. Bean was Oregon bom
and bred. He grew ap with the lore of the Oregon country
in bis heart No mas knew better than be its opportunities
and its problems.
Of his manr tine services to the community that which in
many ways beet Illustrates his Tlslon was his work to bring
about the building at a erots-s te railroad connection. As a
member of the state public terrlce commission and as chair
man of that body he labored lndefatigably to get this project
started. His death finds the matter at last before the inter
state commerce commission with a farorabH report from the
commission's own, representaUres whom Mr. Bean Induced to
come here last summer to look the field orer.
In a lifetime of politics, Mr. bean combined to ha iuunua2
degree the practical and the rislonary. His courage to fight for
a cause eTen when success seemed remote made him a leader.
Mis case wfii go down ss one of the men who helped to build
Oregon.
INTERESTING VISITORS
TCGE.VE Is entertaining this week two -visitors whose studies
of business trends make them particularly Interesting as
speakers on the moot question: "Chain Stores vs. Private
Stores." One of. the rlsltors li Henry Lohmann. of Brooklyn.
N. Y., secretary of the Brooklyn Retail Grocers' Association and
president of the national association of such secretaries. The
other is D. Borden, head of the domestic distribution depart
ment of the United States Chamber of Commerce.
In this dty we are Just beginning to see the Increase of
chain store operations which has already reached 'an advanced
tags in many parts of the country. Here as elsewhere, tho
question has bees raised as to whether there will not be a
war of extermination between the chains and the privately
owned stores, with the chains holdtnc a tremendous weapon In
the form of overhead economies and massed buying power.
Both of the visitors claim that the development does not
mean a war of extermination and they bave certainly signifi
cant statistics to back up their contention. .They claim that
there are certain phases of merchandising whore the chain
stores cannot perform so efficiently as the locally owned store
In Intimate contact with the needs of Its customers. The
statistics show that either the chain or privately owned opera
tions tail unless the operators study the field and know their
business. Both types of operation are essential to the develop
ment of a community.
MOB PSYCHOLOGY
TN Cleveland, two fliers hare Just set a new world's record for
endurance) flying. The record will probably be short lived
because even now other marathonen of the air are seeking to
outdistance their staying powers, but the plane In which the
Cleveland record was mads will not even survive the record.
As it came to earth and taxied toward Its hangar, the
crowd of 60.000 spectators surged In. Many were trampled under
the hoofs of mounted policemen but no force was sufficient to
stay the multitude. Somebody grabbed a handful of torn fuselage.
Others took this as a signal and the plane, except the heavier
metal parts was literally torn to pieces by souvenir hunters.
A month from now, as other records are piled up, how many
of the hysterical (0,000 will be able to remember the names of
Byron K. Newcomb and R. I Mitchell.
YON LUCKNER'S NEW VOYAGE
"IOUXT FELIX VON LTJCKNER la putting out to sea again.
He has embarked from Kordenham. Germany, In a sailing
yacht in which he will make a three-month deep sea exploration
cruise in the Caribbean sea, taking the famous New York
naturalist, Dr. William Beebe, as passenger.
One cannot help contrasting this peaceful trip with tho
famous count's former uenrttons. at sea, when he sailed In the
raider "Sea Devil," roamed the seven seaa as a terror to British
(hipping and made a name for himself that will live for centuries
in the annals of the sea's heroes.
Few men emerged from the World War with greater luster
than Von Luckner. Here's wishing the doughty skipper a suc
cessful and happy voyage.
The Tntin' Bowler, humorously named amphibian plane, is
somewhere In the frozen north on Its way to Berlin, since
Berlin Is the destination of the disguised "Brown Derby." we
can't help wondering why It wasn't named the "Tin Hat"
Charlie Lindbergh made a non-stop flight to Paris, but he
was downed at the half way mark on bit flight Into the New
York social blue book.
Mr. AJax McOurk, our right hand man. suggests that If the
darned thing crathet It will have to be renamed the "Cocked
Hat."

Purity Of Water And Milk Most
Essential In Hot Weather
EBy DR. MORRIS FIS11BEIX
Elt since men began to put
" two and two together and make
aniiiti4g .RsEQ one to five aa the
answer, there nave been straure
notions reeardinr th efferta of
weather on health and on disease.
Kven Noah Webster, who wrote
the dictionary wrote a two-rolum
work on the relationship of weather
to disease.
People talk about hea'thy weath
er and unhealthy weather with
out having a very clear idea of
just which ia which. The epidemi
ologists and the meteorologists
and the statisticians get somewhere
la this matter by keeping exact
reords of changes in the weather
and disease and death rates bat
even here it is necessary to take
into account other factors such as
movementa of the population and
of the insects that carry disease
and of the tvpa of food eaten and
of the effect of varioua tempera
tures and moistures oa the growth
of germs.
Because of some of the factors
that have been mentioned, typhoid
fever occurs most frequently ia
summer and early fall. During
the summer people drink more
than in winter and they are care
lesa about the source of the water,
or milk or other beverages that
they drink. In "the warm weather
the germs multiply more rapidly
in the contaminated fluids.
Investigations made by the Na
tional Research 4'ouncil showed
that the hiehest death rates oc
curred in New Tori City on days
when the teirterature was be
tween 60 decrees and 75 degrees
F.. and that the mortality rises
when the temperature begins to
go much above 75 degrees F.
