HAS THE BIG CITY REACHED ITS LIMIT?
O
WHILE officials ami citizens in every rapidly growing conwnu
?tf are frantically sefkint? ways to "solve" their hisiiiir
ami transportation problems, ami while the trend oE population
toward the cities is more marked than ever before, experts in eity
planning calmly announce that there is no solution except decen
tralization. The chairman of the state commission for housing and regional
planning of New York states that "great cities already Lave passed
the limits of efficiency."
A town-planning architect of Berlin says that plans for greater
and greater cities will inevitably end in inefficiency and failure.
Hoth seem to agree that widening streets, cutting more avenues,
building up in the air and down in the earth, constructing several
layers of thoroughfares and other similar measures, cannot, furnish
relief. Instead of decreasing congestion they invite more conges
tion. Many individuals have already come to feel that the modern
great city and the thing it will be in a few more years of phe
nomenal growth is a horror to be shunned if possible. They feel
that decentralization is needed and that transportation to outlying
smaller communities is more urgently needed than double deck
streets within the city.
And in spite of all this logic and common sense and craving for
a chance for more wholesome, sane and efficient living, the cities
continue to draw people to them. Some time the pendulum will
swing the other way, and the breaking point of efficiency foretold
by the experts may start the counter movement.
ROAD SIGNS AND
THE joint board of stiitn tim federal highway officials, appoint
ed by t ho Secretary of Agriculture, at the Kujrfrestion of the
American Association of Highway officials, is starting out with a
program of simplification of highway signs. It wants to .work out
a clear, uniform system of marks on all the through routes of the
country. It is now seeking the best ideas along this line. There is
io ihe uniformity of color, shape, size and position, and as far as pos
tible, of wording and lettering, on all warning and directional signs.
. Tliis would make matters vastly easier and safer for the motor
tourist, and also for the local driver.
There is nnother reform that is just as much needed. ' It is sim
plicity and uniformity in drivers' signals. So far there is nothing
hut confusion in this matter, among various states and sections and
even among the local drivers of most communities.

in today's (Sunday) Medford Sun,
Mrs. K. II. Porter makes a passion
ate plea to 'the mothers, and I be
lieve that she- would find it very
profitable to write for tho Sunday
supplements, judging from the ter
rifying picture she draws even
going buck to tho Johnstown flood.
1 cannot understand why sho did not
refer to the Itihle. and the great flood
in the time of Noah!
Evidently she is perfectly sincero
in her beliefs (I would bo the lust
person in the world to say she is
not) but she has no doubt been mis
led In her information concerning
the Emigrant dam. Mrs. Porter
states, accurately, that there Is very
little danger of the dam itself break
ing, but she seems to fear a wash
out around the dam, such as oc
curred in the various other eases
that have bt-en mentioned from timo
to time. Any engineer or layman
that is acquainted with the facts will
tell you that the std'uwalls and floor
of the Emigrant reservoir are of
solid rock. In many eases hundreds
of feet through, and any geological
disturbance that w o u 1 d cause a

ment would lend their new pumper

from the school basement.
Stop and think! Citizens of Med
fordt members of the chamber of

KrniK-ant flood propaganda very det
rimental to the whole of Medford?
Do you suppose investors will come
here if they are ninde to believe that
their property is In constant danger
of being- vt-'iHbed away? Let's stick
to facts and leave the far-fetched
flights of fancy to t:ie Sunday sup
plements and the sob sisters.
MRS. J. E. nomouTS,
.Mtdford, May 10.
Favois I. & K. Locution,
To the Kditor:
It seems to me there Is an un
usual fear of water and automobiles
just now. If that dam should break,
It would take about two hours for
the water to reach Medford, plenty
of time for all to be warned, espec
ially during Hchool hoursJ I doubt
its ever reaching tho building nt all
If put well to east lde of -track, or
doing very little damage close to
channel.
As to the traffic and automobile
prfrt, in a few years, more would
cross west to school site than would
cross going east. It seems to me
now, considering soil, drainage, vision
from main roads, streets from both
bridges to grounds, and the fact that
Medford Ih growing north and east,
and when double its present size,
will bring one site nearer to center
and one farther out. Now don't
work up a fight over this, nnd de
cide this or that site Just because you
live on this or that side, as it ap
pears to be working.
The militia might be called out,
and as it is not yet settled that no
gas Ih to be used, some of us be
hind tho lines might get a whiff of
it.
I live half wny between the two
sites, and expect to be ablo not to
get tho two varieties of interests
mixed, nnd will say that I think the
J. & K. site will prove to be the
best choice.
Yours for better schools,
V. J. MISSHKN'OER.

To tbe Editor:
So much has been eajd regarding
the school site, -also, muckraking,
about unmasking nnd bringing from
under cover the Better Site com
mittee. Tho election for a site for tjie
high school is to be settled by the
voters and everybody has a right to
work for their favored site, without
being called grafters, pig heads, etc.
Why disgrace Medford by maligning
others and running down sections of
our beautiful city, which leaves a
stain which can never be erased.
By condemning the Emigrant dam
you are doing an injustice to every
ranch owner south of Medford. It is
the first time I have ever heard of
a stream being a detriment to
community. If Bear creek is a men
ace to Medford, then the Rogue river
is a menace to the whole valley.
Portland Is built on the Columbia
and "Willamette rivers. The largest
buildings in Chicago are on the
banks of the Illinois river, also on
tho lako front. If the creek is only
good for raising garlic, how about
E. C. Claddis, Paul McKee, Vernon
Vawter, Geo. Kobefts, J. C. Mann,
Ered Heath, Charles Heames, Scott
Davis, It. L. Dodge, C. A. Knight,
A. Ij. Hill, and ninny others living
in this same flat, on the same level
as tbe P. & E.' ground. A large
number of some- of the finest homes
in tho city, also half a dozen stores
are located on this same so-called
and unjustly rnur h-abused flat and
undesirable, dangerous part of the
city. The V. Ac E. depot is still
there and has never been damaged
by water. Tho Crater Lnke high
way passes this site. It Is in view of
the pacific highway. The soil Is the
best grade in the valley. You get
24 acres of land for $25000, whllo on
the other side you get 4 acres for
535,000 or more.
Stop and consider about tho "little
chfldron" getting hurt on .the thor
oughfare. Just mention that fact in
high school and hear the little (?)
children smile. Every scholar in
high school Is as able to take care
of his or her self as tho parties
writing the articles.
In conclusion let me appeal to
your pride of Medford, to refrain
from statements damaging to our
fair city, also the abuse of Its citi
zens, so when this site Is decided,
wo can all settle down to normal
without any 111 feeling and without
having tho community torn asunder

It Is no joke'that many people still
fancy the term gastric refers to gas. i
and gastritis therefore means a kind
of indigestion due to or associated
with the excessive
formation or belch
ing of gas. Such
misconceptions o f
the significance of
medical or techni
cal terms are often
encountered even
among high school
graduates, probably
because the high
schools devote so
much time to the
study of Caesar and
Homer that there is
noltimrf to- teach students- uny -.Latin
or. Greek . : '
The other day a man described
his attack of "articular arthritis,"
which sounded like pneumonia on
the lungs or neuralgia of a nerve,
and reminded me of the reporter's
favorite reverting or reporting or re
ferring back f.o something or some
body; nnd tho editor's incurable
fondness for dubbing loss of mem
ory "aphasia" (which means loss
of speech) : arid then quoting some
thing the victim of amnesia says.
In another cateirorv helonir such
errors ns 'neuritis of the joints,"!
"sciatica In the shoulder" and even
more ridiculous ones wq need not
mention.
All of this goes to show that we
are inordinately .fond ,-of impressive
names and not much -concerned
whether they mean anything.
nheumntlsm belongs in a third
category, being ono of .the meaning
less terms doctors are fond of. The
term denotes something akin to 'fak
ing cold." Victims of this delusion
and the old-fashioned doctors who
support It, harbor a vague idea that
tho joint disease is somehow caused
by dampness or exposure, either di
rectly or indirectly,1 now or "some
day.".
Indeed, some statistical data of the
prevalence of "rheumatism", in the
damper regions and among people
engaged in occupations involving ex
posure to dampness or cold, In Eng
land, have been recently circulated
by the American .press agents of the
catching cold delusion, with some eff"
feet upon the befuddled laity. But
neither the English nor the Ameri
can publicity agents offered any ex
planation of what "rheumatism" is.
Thoy left that to the expert judg
ment of the layman just as they
leave the question of what an nl
leged "cold" is. Any fool thinks
ho knows but no physician can de
fine or will define either "rheu
matism" or "a cold."
There is an excellent reason why
physicians who still use these mean
ingless terms decline to define what
they mean. The reason Is that there
are no such entities.
In denying the existence of "rheu
matism" and "a cold." I do not
mean to imply that there is nothing
the matter with victims of these de
lusions. That is just the trouble
there are too many diseases which
masquerade under these meaningless
titles. I mean to Imply that there
is no specific or definite condition
which can be designated or recog
nized as "rheumatism" or a "cold";
that these tfi r m s are employed
merely to soothe, any anxiety of pa-

There are many cases of arthritis
which nre necessarily dubbed "rheu

cisely what the cause and nature of
the joint inflammation may be. Thero
would be nothing objectionable in
that, were it not for tho harmful de

V QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Hj;
Vaccination.
I have noted that you are not an
advocate of compulsory vaccination,
that you favor the quarantine of un
vaccinated smallpox contacts while '
you would allow vaccinated contacts
to go free. The question arises, who
are the vaccinated? Also the ques
tion, what is a contact? Unless you
define these, you leave us still in the
dark. U V. C.
Answer I did not use tho word
contact as a noun. My belief is that
we should not compel anybody to bo
vaccinated against his will, but wo
certainly should strictly isolate nny
person who has small pox and un- :
vaccinated person who may have
casually associated with the smallpox
patient. 1 should leave it to the
physicians and henlth authorities to
define what constitutes exposure to
smallpox. The only reason I can
see for insisting on Isolation of a
smallpox patient or an unvacclnatod
person who may have been exposed
to smallpox is that there are still
many members of the community
who are not informed about the im
portance of being vaccinated. If we
could assume that every one hns
been exposed to smallpox full liberty,
for the vaccinated have nothing to
fear and the unvnecinated elect to '
take that chance. ,,
