HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1930. PAGE THREE GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR One day when I was working at my first job and was needless to say hard up, I developed a severe pain. A stranger In New York, I had read in the newspapers the name of a diagnostician who was interna tionally famous. I went to his of fice, which was in his beautiful home, at eight o'clock in the morn ing. The waiting room was already full. There was a rich man who tugged impatiently at his watch. There was a haughty woman. And there were also half a dozen shab bily dressed folk, Including a poor mother with a very sick baby. Without favoritism, each was ush ered into the consultation room in the order of his arrival. Presently my turn came. I said to the doctor: "I cannot afford to consult you, but my health is my entire business capital. There fore, I feel that I simply must come to headquarters." He gave me a careful examina tion, wrote a prescription, and told me that I would be all right again In a few days. I pulled out my pocket book, which contained two weeks' salary. "How much are you earning?" he asked. I told him $25 a week. "Well, if you'll promise not to tell anybody," he answered, "I'll charge you five dollars." In the intervening years I have become the father of three children, and my salary has been raised a couple of times. I have had occa sion to employ Beveral physicians and three different surgeons. Some of the bills have amounted to hun dreds of dollars. But I have never received a bill that seemed to me unreasonable or even adequate, con sidering the importance of the ser vice rendered. I have known several doctors who married rich wives, and some who have made money In real estate or the stock market I have met a number who gained modest for tunes from their practise, but none who became really rich. And the amount of free work done by even the biggest man In the profession has always been a marvel to me. As an advertising man and a for mer sales manager, I feel that the health business is still too much an old-fashioned one. I should like to see dozens of big clinics in every city, each with its group of specialists. I should like to see them use newspaper adver tising, and draw most of their rev enues from the healthy rather than from the seriously ill. I believe that if we Americans paid twice as much to good doctors every year it would be the best money we could possibly spend. Some developments of this sort will come in the next generation. They are beginning already. Mean while, I feel a great sense of grati tude to the doctors. If my exper ience is typical, they are a swell group of men. VOICES The head of a college of music has got into the newspapers by an nouncing thatj the pitch of Ameri can girls' voices is getting lower, and attributing this to "yelling at football games and smoking cigar ettes." It is much more probable that the American type Is changing through the admixture of races, and that the average American girl has a better muscular development than her grandmother had. Physical train ing rather than cigarettes would tend to enlarge the breathing pas sages which affect the pitch of the voice. If the change which this teacher has noticed is general, so much the better. The high-pitched American female voice, almost shrill, grates on sensitive ears. Women may ad mire sopranos, but most men prefer the deep-toned contralto voice. JUNK Nearly a year's experience with the plan, adopted by all of the large automobile makers, of offering a bonus to dealers for "junking" used cars, seems to have had a good ef fect, not only in stimulating the market for new cars, but in re moving dangerous vehicles from the roads. Ford Is paying $20 for each hope less Ford car delivered at the fac tory. Other makers allow from $20 to $40 to dealers for each car junk ed in the presence of reliable wit nesses of factory representatives. The dealer has to find his own "graveyard" for the wreck, and that is a difficult problem in some local ities. Almost every abandoned quarry and mine has been filled to the top with old cars. On some of the undeveloped streets in the su burbs of New York ancient automo biles virtually line the roadway on both sides. There is a fortune waiting for the man who will discover a cheap and speedy way of reducing ancient cars to their original raw steel. NOISE Hiram P. Maxim, son of one great inventor and nephew of another, and himself the inventor of the gunman's pet, the Maxim silencer for firearms, has found a way, he tells the world, to keep noise out of the house even with the windows open. The principal use of such an in vention will be, of course, In the large cities, where noise interferes not only with sleep, but with the health of those who get no respite from it through the twenty-four hours. But everywhere there will be a demand for a silencer of this sort, for hospitals and rooms from which all external sounds must be exclud ed, as well as for places near rail roads and other sources of noise. TAXES One of the things we are going to hear more about in the next two or three years Is the proposal for a Federal Sales Tax on all merchan dlse, or on a good many items. At present the Government levies a sales tax on automobiles, corpora tion stock sales and some other things. A few states have tried the sales tax as a means of raising revenue. The gasoline sales tax is in general use, in almost all of the states, as everybody knows. New York levies a tax on the sale of stock. Advocates of the sales tax contend that it is the fairest of all forms of taxation, being based upon definite transactions in which money changes hands. Since the war many European countries have adopted it, and it ranks second only to the in come tax as a revenue producer. Germany gets 15 per cent of her public funds from the sales tax, Bel gium, France, Austria, and Czecho slovakia somewhat more. Whether our Federal Government ever tries it on a large scale or not, the effort to pass a sales bill is likely to be made in the next Congress.

Pacific Power and Light Company "Always at your Service" the other night as "the man who has created a new universe." Eight men, each in his own time, had changed our conception of the uni verse, Shaw said. They are Pytha goras, Ptolemy, Kepler, Copernicus, Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Ein stein. Each of those scientists gave the world a new conception of natural laws. Each in his turn proved that the others had been wrong, but each of them served the purpose of his times. Over a period of two thous and years man is gradually learning the truth about the world he lives in. A few hundred years from now some scientist, equipped with betr ter measuring instruments than are available today, may prove that Ein stein is wrong in his theory that a straight line is not the shortest dis tance between two points and that light travels in curves instead of In straight lines. But his theory will stand until somebody finds an unes- capable fact which contradicts It That is the way scientific know ledge grows. Man probably will never know all the facts about the universe, but we are learning faster now than ever before.

Hens Need More Grain Longer, Colder Nights As nights become longer and cold er, successful poultrymen increase their grain ration for the high-producing birds, and also vary the am ount with changes in production, says H. E. Cosby, extension poultry man of Oregon State college. "Styles" in feeding change along with other methods, and' new grain is being fed by most poultrymen In hoppers or troughs instead of in the litter as formerly. Sanitary factors, ability to check on the amount eat en, and great ease in finding the grain on dark tfaernoons outweigh the supposed advantage of more ex ercise from litter feeding, he says. Between 300 and 400 Oregon poul trymen are keeping up with the latest developments In their busi ness through a radio study course from the state college over the col lege station, KOAC, this fall. Week ly lectures are given on various phases of poultry raising every Tu esday evening by A. G. Lunn, head of the poultry department at the college. Copies of the material may be had by enrolling in the course. For Sale Young Jersey cows, coming fresh soon. Walter Jepson, lone. 36.
