TOMORROW
It is sometimes my sad fortune
to have to deliver an after-dinner
speech.
Few experiences are more de
pressing. One sits up at a high table like a
specimen at the zoo. One waits with
increasing discomfort while the
toastmaster works slowly down the
line, and tries to look appreciative
as the other speakers unfold their
solutions of world problems with a
sprinkling of state jests.
Only now and then trere Is a bit
of compensation. The other night,
for Instance, I found myself beside
Strickland Gilliland. He ate spar
ingly, and when I remarked on it,
he said: "I always have to feel well
tomorrow. If you live today so that
you will feel all right tomorrow you
don't get into much trouble."
That made me think that you
can estimate men according to
their attitude toward tomorrow.
How many tomorrows can they
see? How much are they willing
to sacrifice 'for tomorrow? How
much do they dare to trust?
A day laborer can see only a half
dozen tomorrows. He must be paid
every week. An entrepreneur may
a new business from which not he
but his children will profit.
Artists and writers have been
known to disregard entirely the
near tomorrows, pinning their faith
on the fairer and more enduring
verdict of posterity.
The prophet, of course, looks
farthest of all. Stephen, on his way
to death, cried: "Behold I see the
heavens opened." Jesus, about to
be crucified, assured His disciples:
"I have overcome the world."
It strikes me that what we need
these days is the habit of taking a
little longer look, envisaging a few
more tomorrows.
Some of us act as if this present
distress were the first test of the
world's endurance that has ever
come. We are afraid that if it is
not straightened out immediately
civilization will perish.
It is not so much a test of the
world, or of civilization, as it is a
test of us. It is like the war. Some
of us lost courage, and said: "It
will never end," and took thought
only of ourselves. Others can now
look back with satisfaction on the
record they made then.
Today we are making another
record on which we must look back.

LEARNING
My wife and I called on some
new neighbors, a young German
couple who had taken a farm near
mine. As we approached the house
we heard the sound of what seem
ed to us very fine music, which
stopped when I knocked on the
door.
"I thought I heard a radio," said
my wife, after we had exchanged
neighborly greetings. But they had
no radio. The young farmer had
been playing on a violin which he
had brought from Germany. I com
plimented him on the quality of his
music.
"I'll never be able to play well
enough to appear in public," he
said, "because I did not start to
study the violin until I was six
teen. To learn anything well you
must start younger than that.
I have thought of that young
farmer's sound observation many
times since. I think our present
system of coddling boys and girls
until they are sixteen and tnen ex
pecting them to learn how to get
Rlonz in the world is all wrong. It
is unfair to the youngsters and un
fair to society, because it gives
them the impression that the world
owes them a living, and it puts on
the rest of us the burden of taking
care of and protecting ourselves
against an army of misfits and in
competents.
Most people would be better off
and happier if they had had less
schooling and more hard work
when they were very young.
SILVER
I have talked so much about sil
ver In this column that perhaps
am suspected of owning a silver
mine. I haven't a cent's worth of
interest in buying or selling silver,
but the more I study the subject
the more convinced I am that any
thing which would result in restor
ine silver to its old currency posl
tlon, especially in the Orient, would
immediately stimulate trade and
raise commodity prices, and so ben
efit everybody in the world.
I have just been reading reports
of the hearings held in Washing
ton by a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, of which Hon. An
drew H. Somers is chairman. No
body can study those statements
without being convinced that silver
is a much more important factor in
the worlds trade than most of us
realize. I advise anybody who
wants to know more about the sub
ject to write to Representative
Somers at Washington, for the doc
uments issued by his committee.
COMFORT
Two of the transcontinental rail
roads have equipped their dining
cars with air-conditioning devices
which keep the temperature moder
ate and the air fresh no matter
what the thermometer says outside,
Two eastern roads, the B. & O
and the C, & O., are about to start
regular through trains between
Chicago and New York, every car
of which will be provided with a
similar system of ventilation and
cooling.
This is a long step In advance
and one which the other railroads
will have to take also. There will
always be fresh air fiends who will
not believe that air is fresh unless
it comes through an open window,

Henry A. Cotton, head of the New
Jersey State 'Hospital for the In-
.ne.
Acting on the belief that every
manifestation of insanity had a
physical cause, Dr. Cotton and his
staff for twenty years have been
trying to discover those physical
causes and cure them, with the re
sult that more than two thousand
patients have been cured of their
Insanity. More than half of all men
tal disorders, Dr. Cotton says, are
the result of chronic infections, es
pecially in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses,
and digestive tract.
In short, Dr. Cotton seems to
demonstrate that the ancients
were right when they spoke of "a
sound mind in a sound body."
PROHIBITION
Ten years ago every woman In
the country, practically, was enthu
siastic about the new national pro
hibition law. The other day Mrs.
Charles H. Sabin, wife of a New
York banker, led a huge delegation
of women to Washington to present
a petition with hundreds of thous
ands of names on it for the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment
These are mostly city women
who have seen an enormous in
crease in drinking among young
people. Young folks spending mon
ey that they did not earn always
think it Is smart to do things
which are against the law. I think
there is a great deal more than pro
hibition behind the behavior of the
idle children of the foolish rich.
Nevertheless, I think it would be
a very good thing to take the pro
prohibition out of politics by having
a national referendum which will
let each side know just exactly how
strong sentiment for and against
repeal really Is.

"The Farm Home" is the title of
a new, illustrated bulletin just is
sued by the Oregon State college
experiment station which attempts
to do for the home and grounds
what hundreds of previous bulle
tins have done in pointing out pos
sible improvements in actual farm
ing practices.
Convenience, livablenesa and
beauty of the farm home are seen
by the author, F. A. Cuthbert, land
scape architect at the college, as
being equally important to the rural
family as some of the more "prac
tical" matters in the business of
farming.
"Most farmers are eager for in
formation that will help them at a
small cost to make their homes
more beautiful and comfortable,"
says Mr. Cuthbert "Farm living
conditions in many, if not the ma
jority of cases, might be improved
at small expense or with no expen
diture other than time and effort
on the part of the owner."
Information in the new bulletin
is based on actual study of farm
homes in all parts of the state car
ried out by Mr. Cuthbert and other
members of the landscape architec
ture staff at Oregon State college.
Part of this study was carried on
in connection with the reports of
the national project on home bet
terment sponsored by President
Hoover.
Three main divisions of the bulle
tin take up the problem of selecting
a home site in the case of a new
place, factors in rural home design,
and landscaping the old or new
farm residence grounds. An ap
pendix gives a' number of concrete
examples of remodeling projects
and suggests practical and econ
omical means of modernizing old
style farm residences.

Egg production Drops; Winter
Wheat, Southern Early Pota
toes, Peaches Damaged.
Weather conditions in the United
States generally were unfavorable
for egg production in recent weeks,
while winter wheat and southern
early potatoes and peaches have
been damaged, according to a re
port on the agricultural situation
just released by Oregon State col
lege extension service.
About 7 per cent fewer eggs were
laid on April 1 this year than in
1931, the report says, owing to a re
duction in hens and less than the
average number of egga laid per
hen. Layings were the lowest in the
past seven years on April 1, where-
from last September to Febru
ary layings per hen were the high
est during that period in eight
years.
The government report on com
ercial chick hatchings in March
this year indicated a reduction of
about 5 per cent in the whole coun
try and 13 per cent for the western
states. Bookings for April and la
ter delivery were 12 per cent less
than last year for the United States
and 4.6 per cent less in the western
states. "Setting hen" hatchings
were not reported.

during the past two months, but
soft red winter is slightly more
promising than in January," the
report said. "The prospect for win
ter wheat is especially poor In Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Col
orado." Owing to frost, southern early
potatoes are expected to yield much
lighter than usual, unless growing
conditions should be exceptionally
favorable. Prospects for southern
peaches are the poorest since con
dition reports were started in 1924,
especially in Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, according to the state
ment. Regarding the spring Iamb situa
tion, the college extension service
reported that further weakness de
veloped In California during the
week ending April 21. Buyers were
active in the upper Sacramento
valley. Oregon lamb markets were
also weak to lower, but arrivals of
