SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LAW
Too many people are taking advantage of our bank
ruptcy law. This may mean that there is som ething wrong
wih the law. Or there may be som ething wrong with a
good m any of our people. \\ hichever it is, som ething needs
luting. if it is the law that needs changing, th a t is easily
done. If it is the people, there s also a way to handle those
who go into bankruptcy to defraud their creditors.
T he bankruptcy law was m eant to serve a good pur
pose. It was not intended that it should be used to cancel
a m an’s debts simply because he had bought more than he
could pay for. It was m eant to protect an honest man who
had suffered unavoidable handicaps, disappointm ents and
losses, who was unable to meet his indebtedness for the
time being. It was not intended to be used in the way it
is being used today in a great many instances.
There have been times when it seemed a bankrupt
set out with the deliberate intention to defraud his crditors.
He would live in luxury, denying himself nothing that could
be bought on credit. His family dressed like millionaires.
His house furnishings were a dream . But when the tim e
came to pay for all these fine things, he would take the
bankruptcy law, and another entry would be made to the
profit and loss account on his creditors' books.
Men have done this even though draw ing the same
salary as when the account was made—som etim es even
larger salaries. There were not—o r at least didn't appear
to be—any good reasons w hy he shouldu t or couldn't pay
his just debts. It looked like he just didn't want to pay. and
the bankruptcy law provided an easy—if not an honorable
—way out.
T here's a flaw somewhere in a law th a t will allow a
m an to defraud his creditors, it doesn't m atter under what
pretext it is done. There is som ething wrong with a law
that will hold out a hope of som ething for nothing. There
is som ething wrong with a law th at will suggest a shady
transaction, and then leave a loophole to slip through.
There is something wrong when men can cancel their hon
est debts just by a stroke of a pen.
Our bankruptcy law certainly needs fixing.

UNFAIR COMPETITION
The American arm y is now served with Soviet m atches
while the American m atch m aker is taxed to sustain the
standing army. The American governm ent only recognizes
Russia when there is a chance to save a dollar on goods
made by enforced labor. T h at's the reason Russian lum
ber continues to come into the United S tates when Lane
county mills are idle and lum ber is selling far below cost
of production. The Oregon congressional delegation should
have sufficient intestinal fortitude to tackle this problem
and stay with it until we eliminate this unfair competition
that reduces the American lumber worker to starvation.
Mistaken for a m oonshiner while he was reading the
river level guages in the we’ small hours of the m orning, a
m em ber of the army engineer crew on the W illam ette river
survey was challenged by dry officers. M oonshiners and
milk men are the only persons supposed to be up before
breakfast these days.

Eighty-six per cent of the liquor cases tried in the

that the courts are doing their part to enforce prohibition

W E FAM ILY
DOCTOR
JOHN JOSEPH GAINES. M.D
DIATHERMY
Literally, it m eans “heating through,” this diatherm y
form of treatm ent. The apparatus used in adm inistering
is expensive; not many rural physicians nowadays can af
ford such high-priced stuff, considering the almost impos
sibility of carrying it to widely-scattered bedside patients.
Nevertheless it is, and has been for some time, a grow
ing, popular method of applying heat in the treatm en t of
localized inflamm ations. T hat it will destroy germ s by heat
th at are deeply situated within the body, I seriously doubt.
I believe diatherm y will greatly accelerate local circulation,
hastening the blood through the part affected, and do some
good in th at way—just how much may not be accurately
estim ated.
The destruction ot diseased tonsils is being brought
about by diatherm y, thuB saving a more or less bloody oper
ation; but it had better not be attem pted by the am ateur
or beginner without com petent instruction. The specialist
is the only safe man to employe in the electrical exterm i
nation of the tonsil.
My ow n experience has not been very pleasing in the
use of diatherm y, much th at 1 regret to say so. I have used
it in num berless cases of chronic arthritis; If any omprove-
m ent was noticeable it was very slight. I used it in a des
perate attem pt to relieve pneumonia in an aged patient—
and lost; yes, in two cases, without benefit, and where I
needed help, oh, so badly.
I believe diatherm y to be a very refined, technical, ex
pensive way of applying the simple principle of heat in the
treatm en t of disease. I have yet to be shown th at it fur
nishes g rea ter heat inside the diseased m em ber than on the
outside. But I am not an authority, mind you; I am just,
an intelligent, com m on-sense, family doctor, with thirty-
eight years of experience. I do not own a diatherm y ap
paratus, but I work in hospitals where it is available in any
Instance desired. I sincerely hope it may come to be the
standard, accepted m ethod of obliterating diseased tonsils.
