Slowly legisla­ tors are learning that it is carelessness, not speed, which is dangerous. Two of the big oil companies have notified the French authorities that they will discontinue roadside posters. Here’s hoping they follow the same practice in America. The American Road Builders' association reports that the value of highways and motor vehicles in the United States is now around thirty billion dollars. We spend, as a people, eight billion dollars a year for the operation and upkeep of cars, an average of $300 a year for each of the 27,000,000 autos. We buy 14 billion gallons of "gas” and pay in gasoline taxes and registration fees about eight hun­ dred million dollars. Outside of that, the cost of maintain­ ing improved highways is about $200,000.000, to the taxpay­ ers at large. But everybody benefits by good roads and motor transportation, whether he runs a car or no t Many Bend people are buying cherries and berries from the residents of the McKenzie valley, according to a news re­ port from up the river. The value of the McKenzie and Wil­ lamette roads as commercial highways connecting eastern and western Oregon is generally overlooked. This state is divided by a mountain barrier which the completion of the two roads will partially overcome and stimulate trade be­ tween the two sections. Bankers whom we have talked to about the Commercial State Bank closing express the belief that the bank has an excellent chance of paying out nearly 100 per cent to de­ positors. Stockholders, however, it is the opinion, will pro­ bably receive little or nothing. While there is inconveni­ ence of having ones funds tied up there is a likelihood that depositors will not suffer a great loss. This should be heartening to the community. A trip through the commercial gardens along the Mc­ Kenzie and Willamette rivers in this vicinity will do any- bodys heart good who enjoys seeing things grow. Lettuce, radishes, beets, cabbage, potatoes and several other crops are now being harvested and this the middle of June. Sure­ ly no place on earth is better blessed for growing food stuff than our river bottom lands, both for quality and quantity. If we had half as many school districts and twice as good schools in Lane county we would be better off. If Governor Meier wants to do some probing and saving money for the taxpayers he might start in the rural school districts. There is room for much greater economy in this regard than in the university and college. June 6 350 new laws | Hissed by the last Oregon legis­ lature became effective. How many of them do you know about. Is it any wonder with 48 states and congress pass­ ing laws in a like manner there is so much law violation in this country. Nobody can conduct themselves without breaking some law whether they know it or not. ---------- »---------- A hunter mistook a high climber for a bear in the woods up in Waohingtou. He tired two shots at him before he dis­ covered the mistake. We should have an eyesight test for hunters here in the northwest. Portland’s building inspector reports that there is about $3,500,000 worth of construction work going on in that city. Things are not so flat as they may seem. THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES. M.D POSSIBILITIES IN BLOOD-PRESSURE I have frequently had patients assure me, “no, doctor, I haven’t any blood-pressure,” meaning that they have no high tension in that department. I generally correct them gently, by saying that a man with no blood-pressure is dead! For all beings with circulation have “blood-pressure.’’ The condition—high or low—is but a symptom; and high arterial tension may be a very dangerous symptom, if its cause Is found in the kidneys. It will only relax with the cure of the diseased organ. And cure is in some cases impossible, when the renal disease is too far advanced to correct. , « So, if blood-pressure is far above normal, I immediately look after the kidneys; you should do the same. The “change of life” in middle-aged women, is some­ times accompanied by a very high arterial tension, but I regard this sort of manifestation curable, if taken in time— that is, before a brain hemorrhage, or another ugly thing lias set up. This possibility means, keep close to your physician in such crises—it will pay. Certain nervous states cause high blood-pressure; others bring low tension. Weakened, relaxed muscles usually in­ duce low pressure. Both phases of human existance usual­ ly respond to treatment, and should not cause alarm. The hardened arteries of the aged cause what may be termed normal high tension, which rarely does harm or produces alarming symptoms. Diet, it seems to me, has been considerably overworked in the matter of high tension. I recommend eating moder­ ately, rather than to cut out food that the patient really needs. The meat bugaboo is passing, as 1 believe it proper­ ly should, except in eases of severe kidney disorder. Meats are of too much importance in the human economy to con­ demn in a routine way. You should have your blood-pressure reading recorded “at least twice a year,” regardless of “your dentist.” T IU G E R E T E >. V7?.
