RE-ROUTING THE HIGHWAY
Com m unities along the Pacific highway between Cot­
tage Grove and West Springfield organised last week an a s ­
sociation to prom ote their section of the great highway and
atso to prevent a needless change of alignment which would
tu?an ruin to them and an exhorbitant road bill for the tax ­
payers to pay.
Some county-seat people have hastened to say that
the fears of these com m unities over the change of route is
unfounded and that Alder street road is merely a m arket
road and a by-pass in case of flood. This explanation might
be taken with some seriousness but for two facts.
Delegations have appeared twice before the highway
commission asking th at the Pacific highway be re-routed
over this new route and failing in their mission have gotten
it put on the secondary highway program. Members of this
delegation included men who once told Springfield that Eu­
gene did not covet the car shops and Roseburg that she
was not trying to move the soldiers' home.
F u rth er it is unusual to spend $12.000 or $14,000 a mile
on m arket road grade construction to serve a few hill
ranches. A check m ade by the com m ittee reveals th at most
of the people living on the new ro u te are not in favor of the
road and will expect the county to pay heavy dam ages for
right-of-w ay when the road passes through their tillable
land.
A study of this new road situation over a period of many
m onths have convinced people living along the Pacific high­
way th at a change in location is a purely selfish move and
they are determ ined that the taxpayers’ money shall not
be so wasted and their own property and business values
depreciated without a strenuous fight.

PUTTING CITY MEN OUTDOORS
The great value of President Roosevelt’s plan for p ut­
ting a q u arter of a million young men at work in outdoor
labor, of a kind which is somewhat vaguely referred to as
•’forestry," seem s to us to be that it will probably save most
of these men from becoming bums, even if they do not j>er-
form m uch actual work in the forest.
As we understand the plan only those between 18 and
25 years old and having some dependent relatives were ac­
cepted at first. They applied at an arm y recruiting station,
arm ed with a letter front some recognized local relief or
welfare association, testifying to their worthiness as objects
of relief. They were then put through a physical exam ina­
tion at th e recruiting station.
Those who passed these preliminary tests were required
to enlist for six m onths, signing an agreem ent to perform
w hatever duties they might be assigned to and not to des­
troy any Governm ent property. They then went a t once
on the payroll, at the rate of one dollar a day with food,
clothing and shelter included. Each recruit, however, was
required to sign an assignm ent of part of his pay. approxi­
m ately three-quarters of it, to the dependent wife, mother,
sister or brother, to be paid direct to the beneficiary.
The recruits of this Army of Peace were then sent to
the nearest military post for a period of “conditioning,”
which includes regular exercise and drill, instruction in ta k ­
ing care of their bodies while living in the open, amenability
to discipline and the building up of their physical stam ina.
This conditioning was expected to take from four to six
weeks. When completed, the men are sent in squads to the
places w here they are to labor on public works.
Precisely where this work will be done and what it will
consist of is not fully explained as yet. Presum ably it will be
in the various National Forests, though there is talk of the
governm ent buying a million acres or so of unclaimed land
and putting these m en to work on that.
It seem s to us th at the actual work accomplished is of
less im portance than the building up of the men who do it,
getting them into the habit of hard work, enabling them to
contribute something, however slight, to the support of
others, and taking them o?f the city streets into the whole­
some outdoors.
We shall w atch this experiment with interest.
HIGH TARIFF AND CHEAP MONEY
A year ago there was wide spread complaint th at the
high tariff wall in this country had ruined foreign trade.
But depreciated currency in foreign countries has changed
all this. Foreign goods new pour over the tariff walls like
w ater over a dam. Consequently our paper industry, fishing,
and farm products are a t a standstill while low priced labor
paid by this depreciated money causes a great supply of
goods to come to this country.
To lower the tariff wall now would but increase the
flood and would spell total ruin to a great m any industries
in this country.

JOHN JOSEPH GAINES WO
LARYNGITIS
I am struggling today with an a ttack of laryngitis. It
occurs to me th at my readers may be interested. You may
get an attack, you know.
The larynx is the "vocal box” where the sounds of the
voice are moulded into words. The “itls” signifies inflam ­
m ation of the vocal cords. The first symptom Is hoarse­
ness, and is very pronounced. Not much pain, necessarily,
at first. Pain indicates a more violent a ttack —see the doc­
tor at once. My voice today sounds like th a t of an old hen
with a grain of corn lodged in her wind-pipe!
It is weakening, sickening, disgusting. My work as a
physician, takes me out in all sorts of w eather, and a t most
all hours. There is m uch exposure we call it that and
you m ust guard against it.
W hat am I doing for this distressing condition? Well,
I have my neck wrapped with woolen,— with turpentine
and oil of eucalyptus equal parts sopped on the cloth. The
vapor from this dies good. I keep the neck warm on the
outside. I keep niy feet extra warm. I take antiseptic such
as Aspirin—and those containing a small percent of form al­
dehyde—and let them dissolve in my m outh- five or six
times a day. Of course, I attend to the regular function,
good food, plenty of water, and take the best care of my­
self th at I can. It has been m ost severe w eather, and the
climate in my state is treacherous; besides, some of these
things are communicable we m ust not forget that.
I adm it that it takes courage to endure such attacks
and rem ain on foot and a t work. The patient who does as
he should do, will go to bed, cal, his physician and get well
in half the time. Rear In mind th a t laryngitis may be a
very oangerous condition. B etter attend to It early.

She turned. "What do you mean?”
He laughed unhappily "Well—

The delicate colour tinged the
whiteness of her face.
