THERE is no longer any question as' to the sentiment of Hert ford tax nyers regarding a new high school. By a four to one vote 675 for the honds to only J58 against, the people who will pay the bills voted yeslc'day for immediate construction. With sentiment for the new High School so overwhelming, there should be no serious difficulty in going through with the rest of the program, and deciding upon the site, with a minimum of head smushing. That opinion will be sharply divided regarding the best site, m'ay be accepted as a matter of course, but unless conditions change materially The Mail Tribune has no intention of bursting an edi torial bloodvessel over one location or the other. We are inclined to agree with the Eugene experts, that Medford is extremely fortunate in having so many good sites from which to choose. We also agree that the two best sites are the P. and E. and Holly Street locations. As far as we are concerned, inorc important than the particular she finally selected is that' Mcdford should have a new High School on one of them. In other words the important question has been decided, and while the campaign which ends May 15th will, in its noise and fury make the campaign which ended yesterday, seem like a minor engagement, this will not alter the fact .that the im portant battle for progress has been fought mid won. FREE DISCUSSION INVITED. AS USUAL in such a campaign The Mail Tribune is glad to offer its columns for free discussion, under certain rules and regu lations, t ji These rules and regulations are that all contributions be signed by the writer's name, that they be condensed to 300 words or less, preferably less, and that irrelevant personalities be eliminated. At' such a time, partisan sentiments always rise to rather absurd heights, and we expect to discover that if this site or that is not selected, our High School will be doomed and the fair city of Mcd ford ruined. j It' was ever thus. Hut when the smoke of battle clears and wc have returned to normalcy again, it will be found, that no such condition as the partisans pictured existed, and that, as usual, the extremists on both sides,, were merely "intoxicated by the exurber nhce: of their own verbosity." , QUILL Pride doth mako liars of us all.

Wu RipplingRhijmGS T$Sj KIND HEARTS. OFTEN when I'm gayly driving, hitting up some twenty miles in the hope of soon arriving, I have grief in many styles. For my flivver's old and battered and her engine's out of whack, and she's always wildly scattered bolts and eastings on the track. When she gasps and quits her chooing I descend, with aching heart, and gadzooking and beshrewing, try to fix the broken part. I'm this gray world's, worst mechanic, and yon couldn't find my mate if you searched from York to Yau nek, if you combed your native state. Underneath the auto creeping, soon I sprain my neck and knee, and I spring un manly weeping that is pitiful to see. Then some fellow comes a-hiping down the highway in his car, and beholds me madly groping in the oil and grease and tar. And he halts his pranc ing I.izr.it! and remarks, "You're old and fat, you are spavined, bald and dizzy, ad unfit for work like that. Crawl away and drink a flagon of cold viter fijjun the rill ; I will fix your bust ed wagon with the heartiest good will. When I'm oldonnd fat and flnbliy and my is is on the blink, and the luck seems dark and shabby, there may come some helpful gink; there may come some kinu9' voter who will say, as I (jjiv. now, 'Pwill fix yor locoed motor, while you rest and bathe your brow.'

Head "However well intentioned this country may be, either upon Its own accord or as a member of an interna tional body organized for the preven tion of conflict,. It cannot p r e vent war. So long as there is no means of preventing war there must be pre paration aga Inst war." Such was tho warning con voyed to the thirty-fourth continen tal congress of the Daughters of the Revolution recent ly by the president general of the so c I e t y, Mrs. An thony Wayne Cook Logic and text books deleted of war-liko bits of his tory can never be substituted for bul lets, and a well trained manhood ns a guarantee of safety fortho nation, she cautioned. Pacificsm, as preached by "emotional theorists,' sho warneti, has reached a "dangerous stage." "Unfortunately;' Mrs. Cook de clared, "there Is at preftent trio 'great a tendency among many of our peo ple to have America lead the world Jn readiness to promote peace by dis armament, without due consideration of tho necessary pro visions for our security and defense. As a nation ! we must realize that reliance upon right nnd logic In lieu of proper de fense Is an Invitation for . us to be preyed upon. Duty, tn Safeguard I'lilted States "Nothing could be farther from the alms of our society than to commit our nation to a militaristic program, but It is tho duty of every citizen to sufeguard the United States against aggression by helping to support and maintain land, sea, and air forces for our reasonable protection. "We further believe that H is our duty nnd that of vory other Amer ican citizen to be fully informed as to the measure of national protection which is necessary, and to be unceas ing in our efforts to see that It Is provided by the congress of the Unit ed States." Dangers of Pacifism "The spread of pacifism." she said, "ami tho undermining of our Ideals of national service by foreign agencies ahd by our native born emotional theorists, who have been swept loose from stable moorings by skillful pro pagandists, has reached a dangerous stage. "History will show that ns a nation, in o liter to be Just, we have actually leaned backward in mir endeavor to he fit Ir in ituernatiou?.l matters." she continued.

The taHk of completing the carving of the historic Confederate Memo rial on 'the face of Stone Mountain at Atlanta, (la., has been given Henry Augustus Iukeman. On hta shoulders rests the r e s p onsibility of carrying to suc cessful conclusions the great work, concelv(ed and partly executed by Outzon Borglum, who gave up the direction of the I IA A. Project because ot B JR. I conflict with some ImarsJ '.&mA ot the mcn at tho hend of the pro ject. Mr. Lukeman was born In Rich mond, Va., Jan. 28. 1871. and stud led his art nt the National Academy of Design in New York, and at the Kcole ties Beaux Arts. Cities In every section of the country have specimens of his work, including the statues of William McKinley. in Adams, Mass., and -Dayton, O., archi tectural sculpture on buildings in Pittsburg, Boston and New York; four colossal statues in marble on the Royal Bank Building In Mon treal; equestrian statue of Kit Car son in Trinidad, Colo., and of Fran cis Asbury in Washington, D. C, and of General Gregg at Reading, Pa.; the Women of the Confederacy mon ument in Raleigh, N. C.j the U. S. Grant Memorial at San Dlcgo, Cal.; and tho Franklin Pierce Monument at Concord, N. h., and statue of Gen eral William Shepurd In Westficld, Mass. . ; t Tho sculptor's .home' is In Stock bridge, Mass., but his studio is in New York City. COMMUNICATIONS llert Anderson Opioscs P. & E. To the Editor: I have always con tended that there was not a better patch of truck garden land within the city limits than the old P. & K. ter minal grounds on the e.tst side of Bear Creek. It is a rich alluvial wash of great depth. 1 know of ho better place to produce bumper crops of onions, garlic, spinach, squash, etc. For this purpose it is probably worth $350 to 450 per acre. It is also valuable for a railroad terminal, with its side tracks,, round houses, cattle pens, etc., and it is valuable for this purpose only from the fact that rail roads take water grades whenever possible. This tract of land is prob ably the lowest point within the city limits. Unconfined water inevitably seeks the lower levels. If in the future, as in the past, a great natural flood should sweep through Medford it will not particularly inconvenience a single member of the Mcdford board of education, for alt of them, with possibly one exception, live on high and sightly grounds. Nor will its brown flood come within blocks of the North Holly high school site. Or again, if a treacherous fate should play pranks' with tho works and achievements of mere man, and the limlgrant Creek dam should crack, most of the members of the school board could sit safely on their front porches and watch the high school students beating it for higher ground, If they had time. Now let's get at the real kcrnal of this controversy. The school board in their published statement says that "It had chosen as the site for tho new high school building what Is known as the Pacific & Eastern tract." This to be at a cost of $26,500, or $1326 per acre. Now after tho elimination of the railroad embankment and the gravel bars of Bear creek, you could not cut this ground up Into city Jots and sell it on the retail market for anything like that money. And If you did subdivide it Into residence lots and would Offer tho best lot of the bunch free of cost to any member of tho school board, or to airy mem ber of the Bear Creek aristocracy who are IVncklng them, and stipulate that they should build a home on it in which to raise their families, they would most certainly turn your pro position down cold. This crowd that Is clamoring for this site. Just as fast as they can make money enough, are building homes on high ground, but are going to vote to stick a great public building that when completed will cost around $300,000, in a pothole on Bear Creek Side.

At sea level the rilr pressure will balance a mercury column 30 inches (760 m. m.) high. Tho pressure de creases with altitude an inch of mer cury for every lOOO'feet or one mil limeter of mercury for every 40 feet of actual ascent in free air. All of the import ant effects of sud denly going to a considerable altitude are due to the di minished ' oxygen .pressure In the air. The disturbances known as "mountain sickness" seldom - 1 manifest themselves at altitudes less than two miles aliove sea level In this country, though in lOurbn'e tho disorder occurs at eleva tions as low as 9000 feet. This moun tain sickness Is characterized by Home difficulty in breathing of a kind of gasping for air especially If the new comer exerts himself much, a feeling of oppression In the chest, perhaps disgust for food or actual nausea and sometimes a little "fllghtiness" of mind. The skin nnd lips appear some what bluish. Quick and complete re lief Is obtained by inhalations of oxy gen from a tank. Or it the sojourner will rest quietly for a few dnys he will become acclimatized and the symp toms will disappear. Invalids or feeble folk who expect to trnvel to a plncc of great altitude do well to plan the journey In two or three stages. stopping off for a few flays here and there to acclimatize. It takes a few days for tho oxygen and carbon dioxid tension In the blood to adjust Itsolf to the diminished pressure. - At moderate elevation, say 10.000 feet, there is generally a distinct In crease In the percentage of hemoglo bin (iron coloring matter) In the blood and a corresponding increase in the number Of red blood corpuscles. Persons ill of Brlght's disease, myo carditis or pulmonary tuberculosis should avoid high elevations. Per sons with any severe or advanced lung or bronchial disease should avoid al titudes. From the altitude of Denver (a mile) on upward Is high. The Denver pneumonia mortality rate Is the same ns the rate at sea level, how ever. Certain cases of bronchial nsth- ma find complete relief ut the eleva tion; of Denver or higher. Hut sub jects of emphysema (a constant wheezing sometimes mistaken for asthma) are likely to be worse at any altitude. In general, subjects of heart dls- ease should visit resorts tn the moun tains dnly when the compensation has ooen restoreit by graded exercise nl tho lower level.

QVKSTIOXS A XI) ANSWERS Hike Hilling. Is there really any harm in riding a bicycle? Some people claim I am lia ble to get bicycle paralysis, but it does not seem to do ino any harm. (S.F.) Answer Bicycle paralysis, what ever that may be. can't be worse than flivver complaint which so many peo ple suffer from. There is really no harm, hut usually distinct benefit, from riding a bicycle, though I do not advise bicycle- -racing or endurance runs. Hoys and girls are equally benefitted, and they are fortunate- it they hare a nice place where they can ride in reasonable safety.- v ' Kpllopsy and Family. My mother developed epilepsy when she' was 51 years of age and had never shown any signs of It In her earlier life. She has borne five children. Should we, her children, marry? Might this disease be inherited by our children? Mothers attacks have been mild nnd months upart for seven years now. She takes a grain and a half of luminal every night. (S. V. E.) Answer From your description I see no reason why you children should not mnrry. If you would like ro have an expert opinion, submit the question to Uie Kugenics ltecord Office, Cold Spring Harbor. X. V. . Where 'Ilicy I5nt Wheat Several years ago I visited a ranch where they prepared wheat by grind ing it in a big coffee grinder and cooked it In a double boiler. This was their brenkfast cereal and a main part of their diet. All the members of the family seemed to enjoy excellent health, and they were hnppy and con tented. ' I have often wondered wheth er that was not due to the fact thot wheat constituted more than 60 pt? cent of their food. (C. F. J.) Answer That may well he. But perhaps the normal open air life of the people has' something to do with it, too. I think the custom of grinding the wheat and cooking it two or threo hours or less If preferred, in the dou ble boiler is a wholesome one for peo ple anywhere to ndopt, and it mnkos a thoroughly good breakfast food that way. . . Tannic Arid My doctor tells me that tea is worso than coffee because tea has taTinlo acid which Is Injurious to henlth. I should like to know more about tho matter, if you will be good enough to tell me. (K. F. O.) Answer Hoth tea and coffee con tain tannic acid (tannin), tea rather more than coffee. If tea or coffo is properly made (without boiling) prac tically none of the tannic acid Is in gested by the tea or coffee drinker. DYERS HATTERS CLEANERS PLEATERa Phone til 23 N.
