An excellent idea! As every reader of the Congressional Record
knows there is scarcely a congressman or senator who doesn't say n
number of 'tilings that he would never say if he knew tliiit the "home
folks" were listening in. The members of both tipper and lower )ioose(
at times indulge in pratorical field
newspapers for the good and sufficient reason that there is no news
in lliem.
in short, there is and always has been a tremendous amount of
time wasted in Washington, a tremendous amount of nonsense in
dulged in, largely because both houses enjoy something of the exclus
ive irresponsibility of downtown clubs.
The radio would eliminate all that. Senator Sorghum would cer
tainly choose his words carefully if he knew that every syllable might
be checked up to him by any radio fan in his district. There would
bo fewer adjournments, and more quorums, with hungry constituents
eager to know what congress is doing, day 'by day.
Another advantage would be apparent during campaign time. At
(lie moment, for example, two senators very much needed at Wash
ington, Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator Jim Recti, are campaign
ing in Illinois and Missouri respectively. With the radio they could
stay oil the job, deliver their speeches on the floor of the senate, dur
ing the evening recess reach their entire district and avoid all danger
ul personal violence.
In fact there seems to be everything in favor of this proposal and
nothing against it. We suggest the Oregon delegation frame up a
bill at once and start congress in as broadcasting station "T-l'-U."

how much I might reduce tho gro

He eats a breakfast of fruit, cereal,
apology for cream, toast or doughnut,
.and coffee, a real meal at noon, and
a light lunch at night. He walks
briskly' 28 blocks to nnd from college
every day, altogether, I mean, nnd
chases up and down three huge
flights of stairs many times a day. He
tnkes long runs in the park -whenever
he can spare the time once or twice
x week. In between times he spends
long hours at his desk, evenings, work
ing on his books.
Twenty-eight blocks Is an uncertain
distance, but probably represents two
miles. If a feller ticks off that dis
tance on his pedometer three times a
day, or bunches it all in one dizzy

testimony of his nutrition manager, by

or cakes of any kind on top of that
is generally Just plain overeating. Ol
course It might be all right if one is
going out to oliop wood or heave coal
or shovel sidewalks or pitch hay for
tho clay, but- ordinarily thero Is no oc-
asion to take such a superabundance
of carbohydrate. (Carbohydrate, for
the benefit of those who may have
just tuned In, is almost everything
good to eat, specifically anything
made of starch or sugar.)
It is very easy indeed for a seden

enough fuel to maintain the weight of
a wood chopper. This is one way -to

ltecently you asserted that tho
amount of waste matter eliminated
thru tile sweat is negligible. You said
that If any considerable portion of the
skin is covered with varnish sleuth
will follow, not because of non-ellmln-ntion
of poisonous wuste matter, but
from the rapid cooling effect. In
physics class wo learn that a polished
surface is a poor radiator of heat
compared with a dull surface, and
hardly any surface could radiate heat
faster than one kept moist. This is
the principle which keeps the water
cool in canvas water bags. In view
of these facts It would appear thnt
covering the body with varnish would
tend to overheat tho body rather than
cool It off. How about it? (P. E.)
Answer. Your physics sounds per
fectly good to me, and yet physiology
withstands to the contrary. If the
surface of the body Is covered with an
Impermeable coating death ensues in
a vevy short time, with great reduc

fight this out with your physiology
teacher but I suppose you have no
physiology teacher, for physiology Is
a rather unimportant subject in the
average school.

To tho Editor: We have been hear
ing the dnlrymen's bill to prevent the
sale of oleomargarine In Oregon, dis
cussed from various angles. And we
also have been doing some thinking
on tho subject. We read that in Tllla
mook county the merchants .have
agreed not to sell oleomargarine and
the papers all ngrec not to advertiue
it. It Is also said that this hill Is to
wives that the men would not dure
.vote for such a bill. So far as we are
nware we nave never insiea oieoimu
garine or other butter substitutes: but
with all the food inspectors, pure food

garino and other butter substitutes
are Just as clean and healthful as the
various cooking compounds on the
market. And If we exclude one on the
ground of unfitness (or human con-.
sumption we should also exclude the
other.

and get a bill passed to exclude all

work in the sheriff's office force is
commendable. The" method of distri
bution insures detection of errors in
conciliation and correct settlement of
casionally improperly distributed and
all errors of consequence in my report
were of this nature.
Regarding undistributed funds car
ried by the sheriff, the treasurer is not
required by law to nccept money from
the sheriff unless distributed. Neitner
is there any legal reason within my

THE GREATEST THING IN THE

spend beautiful words nnd phrases in
trying to prove tho obvious? It isn't

social instinct in which we are nil con

Adv. II. 1). A. LYONS, Central Point.
As a candidate in the Republican primaries
for the office of Sheriff, 1 desire to clearly
define my position ou the future conduct of that
office, if elected.
My experience as a deputy sheriff of Jackson
County, and as a State Traffic Officer, hua.
taught mo thnt no peace officer can give satis
factory and efficient service to the public when
his authority and responsibility nre shared by
another. The present unsatisfactory law en
forcing conditions is largely attributable to
divided authority between antagonistic peace
officers, elements that are certain to produce
conflict, inefficiency and useless expense.
If elected I shall insist upon and expect to
maintain the right to perform all the duties
of Sheriff fn this County, and It fellows that I
will be uncompromisingly opposed to sptcia)
officers except Federal Agents, with whom I
pledge full and complete cooperation. I am In
thorough accord with both the letter and spirit
of the prohibition laws and pledge my ncti
and untiring effort in their enforcement.
