In Tact yesterday 's election proved tlmt there are at least 41 more ieo)le living near the ball park than the 15ear Creek bridge. Perhaps th Holly Street site committee and certain West Side orators will tak credit for the victory, but we fear the real credit should 1k given Me.ssers Latitude and Longitude. And now the war is over, for which we nil should be duly thank fill. It was a somewhat cantankerous campaign, but not more so than was to be expected. As predicted in this column several day ago, emotions are easily aroused at such a time, but given a fai chance they quickly subside. The thing for us all to do now is let hem subside, build the new High School on the site selected, and (turn to the important business of restoring loeal harmony and making iludford a better and bigger place in which to live. "" The size of the Holly Street majority was a general surprise, but it should be a welcome one. With a record breaking vote, and such a substantial majority, all doubt is removed as to what the residents of this city want. The Holly Street forces appear to be good winners. We have no doubt that the Pacific and Eastern supporters, who put up a good clean fight and a vigorous one, will be good losers. " "' As we pointed out before, more important than the site was, I and is, the High School. Now the High School is assured, and the painful task ot site selection is over. Over a thousand good citi zens are disappointed, but considerably more are rejoicing. So let's repair our fountain pens, put our battle axes away, and proceed upon the manifold civic duties before us. Vox Populi, Vox Dei ! Ye Smudge Pot Jij Arthur ' Terry.

T CiET, by almost every mail, requests from old time' friends 4- for kale; pathetic, sad, are their appeals; it's long since they have had square meals ; they have no beds in which to sleep, and in the parks they sit and weep; their shoes are broken and their lids nro jeered at by the village kids. "A. few tin dollars from your store will brighten up our lives once more," they write, with optimism vain; they all expect to rise again; n little help is all thoy need, a little wnd of ehiekenfeed. And every day I'm sending out n farthing to somo luckless scout, who was my friend in days long gone, when every goose appeared a swan. And many o these busted gents who. now are needing fifteen cents, were once in costly garb arrayed, nnd through tho town they romped and played, admired by all the youngsters there, by gaping lad and damsel fair. They scoffed the graybeard's chiding words, they threw their money to the birds; they. looked with scorn on tightwad souls who didn't dissipate their rolls, regarded prudence as o crime; their motto was, "A bully time!" And now in their old age they pen sad letters begging iron men. Confessing they are 1mis and tramps, with borrowed intc and b(rowi'd stamps they write imploring sundry groats to bring thorn back their vanished goats. And thousands of the boys who blow their earnings ill the White Way's glow will on some fu ture hitter night in garrets cold sit down to write to former friends imploring aid. and ply the begging letter trade. PR.R.NMNSON Educator Defending: Youth. Says Boys nnd Girls or Tmlay Arc Superior Whllo'-many educators, welfare workers, clergymen .and reformers are declaring that tho younger jeen- ratlon is bringing about the downfall of civ;Jnztioh, the president of Wes tern Reserve uni versity, Robert E. Vinson, steadfastly believes that the young men and women of today nre tho finest the world baa over seen. In tin address in Cleveland, Dr. Vin son proc 1 a 1 m o d himself, tho defen der of the young people of today. "Ever since the , beginning of time" ho said, "the question has been asked with succeeding generations, 'What is tho world coming to ? Everyone seems to do a lot of worrying about it in each century. But let me say now, never has there been a finer set of young men and women than those, who are in the colleges today. ' 1 "As women interested in the wel fare of youth and ns mothers whose lives center about tho lives of your children, never let anyone persuade you that the present generation In the American colleges is tho worst in history. (There are a few young folks run ning on the edges-, carrying flasks, who are daring,, venturesome and bold, but they are only tho froth nnd foam of college life. The students on the whole are of a serious mind. They have tho finest' brains of any age and they are doing things better and are making an improvement on what you have tried to do. VThore should be a great spirit of optimism in tho heart of every man," he continued, "becauso the world of tho future is going to bo In safer nnd better hnnds4han it ever was before. I have not missed a day in college for the last 35 years and I believe In my own heart thnt never before have I seen such a marvelous group of students u those ot today." Dr. Vinson discussed nt some length the subject of limitation of atten dance In colleges. "I m not for limitation," he 'explained, "except by nature where she has failed to pro vide an Individual with a normal ; mind. If a man or a woman has brains the-I want to sec them In the! university.' 1 Ail.mtiis. tho "nilrni-le nml niyn- tory" nmn has l.cen appfin nt tho Kla9.1t theater in Grants rata fur tho nasi tour days. .... We net out the other day to tell a million fat folks 'how to contract the .stomach. We told 'em, too, but rather by sUKKestlon than in so many words. Just about a million fat folks havo written In for tho detailed direc tions, and a good many of ' them de clare they don't wear corsets at all. any more,- or else they ' never have worn any such con traption. Quite few of these have never worn abdo minal splints or supiior:crs are of the sex -hat once . wore suspendors as matter of fashion and custom bit now wears them as a matter of necessity and safety. In the article where we thought we suggested how to contract the stumnilck we introduced the sub ject of Intra-abdominal pressure and Its relation to the tone or vigor of the muscles of the belly (front wall of the abdomin.) We pointed out prac tices or customs which diminish the lone of the belly muscles and conse quently lower intra-abdominal pies sure. And having said that-much we called it a day and went out to oil the clutch or weed tho onions. But the mail man gives us no peace. . Just as flabbtnesa or softness or any weakness of the belly muscles low ers the pressure or tension maintain ed within the abdominal cavity and favors overeating to attain that sense of fullness of the stomach which we tnstlctlvely desire, so the better tone or vigor . of these , muscles which conies from proper exercise Increases the intra-abdominal tension and en ables one to arrive nt-tho stute of sat isfaction when the stomach Is Just moderately filed with fodder. Now, even though you are vory fat indeed, it ought to be clear to you that slimncss of the waist Is to be cultivated by ex ercise. Some good physical educators doubt whether any special exercises which particularly bring tho muscles of the front or buck wall of the abdomen into play are more valuable or even as valuable as general exercise which gives all the muscles a fair amount of work. This la a technical question. I tseems that many Individuals have boen able to train down large waists and at the same time gain better con trol over large appetites, by Just doing some special abdominal exercises ev ery day. Of course, special abdominal exerlcses are Just as good exercise as are any other speclul exercises - such as walking on the inturned toes to strengthen weak arches or humming to Improve the hearing. There can be little doubt that tho custom of wearing corsets or similar constricting or sup porting appliances has. much to do with the conventional .proportions of the dowager. I believe the recent cor- setless fnd has something to do with the renaissance of the slim waist. All of the horizontal movements of the second Urady symphony tend to Increase lntrn-nbdoinlnal tension and favor a slender figure. Some of the vertical movements do so . as well. But the symphony la not a reduction method. Her are a few special exercises for the abdominal muscles, both the mus cles of the belly and the muscles of the rear wall of the abdomen lumbar muscles.

Contusion. Our doctor claims that scarlet fever Is not very 6ontagious In the early stages, but the gorms are chiefly In the scallns skin, and bo the patient must be qaurantined four or five weeks or longer if any peeling remains, nnd then tho houso fumigated and all bed clothing, books, papers and tho like burned up. (N. ID- Answer That was the belief of all physicians years ago. We know now. however, that scarlet fever is most communicable in the early stage, even before tho rash Is out, and thnt the contagion or germ is not present in the skin lessions and the disease Is not desquamating skin. The most exper- lenced sanitarians now . advocate a short Isolation, about two weeks, for most cases; If any discharge from ear, nose or throat persists longer, perhaps me uiseasc Is still communicable thru that discharge. As for burning things up, tnnt is no longer considered nec essary. Ordinary washing will mnke clotning of bedding perfectly safe. Fumigation has been discarded by nil well managed health departments as a useless rite. . Ordinary soap and water washing of the sick room, and renovation of walls if they are soiled will make the room perfectly safe for occupancy. Fumigation Is compara tively ineffective for that purpose. No aount the impressive odor associated with the rite of fumigation has much to do with the quaint adherence to thnt rite still encountered in backwoods luwiis. ; . 1 . Harelip There has Just been born in a near relative ramily a child with a split lip. So far as wo know, no such'thlmr has ever occurred In the family before. Is a causo lor such a case known? (F. E.) Answer .No cause is known. Tho wonder is that we are not all born with harelip, for that portion of the face 'develops from two projections wnicn grow toward each other and finally coalesce to form the Hp and palate. I sny it Is a wonderful thing that this coalescence Is almost always minim-leu nna mo palate and lip so perfect.

COMMUNICATIONS A Flslicrmun's Pnrariise To the Editor: I was talking ro. cently to Arthur Foster, the Portland Chamber of Commerce gateway man ai Asninnu. and to Bob Boyl, secre tary of tho Jfedford Chamber of Com merce. Mr. Foster was lamenting the fact that at present there seemed comparatively so little to offer the tourist In, this vicinity, on acftiunt of Its being too onrly for Crater Lake. Diamond lake, and other attractions Ho suggested that anything now available in this line be (riven n. u-m. Then repeat with thcf)pubtirity ns possible. I-or Inntnnce. Mr. Fester cited sev eral cases that came, to ha) attention while on duty at the camp grounds In Portland of tourists coming Into these Portland camp grounds and telling of but not ove both legs together, times nt a seance. Ue supine, feet under a chair or ficavy pillow. , Ulse to alttlo posture di-ftng through from Ashland to Portland In one day. After making this heartbreaking drive, and passing o thru some of the best fishing country in the world, they would then come to .Mi Fostei0and ask him where thero was some good fishing. . There has just been completed offd opened for travel the road from Butto Falls to Prospect. To those louking for a fine, straight rood over which a tint run can be made, this road holds no attraction, bur it is easily traveled at a good, moderate pace, and it crosses tho following streums, all of them filled with trout: Hlg Butte, North Fork of Big Butte, Vine .Maple, Beaver Dam, Buck 'Creeks, and tho three forks of Rogue liver. Thero ttre other creeks that can bo reuched by short detours. ' ' , Tho' writer has personally fished most of these streams at different times, and although not claiming to be an. expert angler, he has never had any trouble gottlng tho limit in nny of them easily. At this time' of the year these streams, with the exception of the Big Butte, have not been fished to amount to anything, and somo royal ' sport is awaiting the first ones to get there. . This Is an ideal route for those looking for a several days trip, for each of the streams is worthy of a day, at least, the road Is absolutely new, the scenery beyond description of mine, the natural camping places perfect, and tho return trip can bo made from Prospect, via the Crater Lake highway, if desired. In addition to this new road, thero Is another road opened up to auto travel. This road runs from Butto Falls to the camps of the Owen Oregon Lumber company. Tho newest camp. Just recently completed, Is a model of up to' dnte sanitation nnd convenience and 'comfort. To those wishing to observe up to dnte logging methods, this trip will be a treat. "Wo adviso also seeing tho wonderful plno forest, in our opinion as fino a body of pine as there is anywhero, before it is logged off and gone. ' Immediately above this camp toward Mt. McLaughlin, more com monly called Mt: Pitt, nenrly 10,u00 feot of snow covered peak. Those looking for snow sports can find them here, for the snow line is dose down now, and the beautiful wild flowers aro following the1 snow back. The mountain lakes, Fish lake, Four Mllo lake, and other -wonderful - fishing lakes, are easily accessible from those logging camps. - There are many, living in this val ley for years, who have never seen nny of the above attractions. Why travel thousands of miles . to see worso, when a few gallons of gaa brings you there? I am sending copies of this letter to Mr. Foster and to Mr. Boyl, and, if the high school situntlon now per mits, would appreciate your publish ing it. GEO. W. BARKER. Butte FallB, May 14.
