t oria I Asxoeiatiou will be ia Medfonl en nmlf lo Critter
l.ulic, where lliey will liold their iiiiiuml KUimiicr session.
Uetwcen forty nut fifty automobiles will be needed to take
iliesc editors iirouiid the valley and to thn lake, mid, eonsiderint!
llio iniporliiiiee of this excursion to Medford antl Southern Ore
yon, volunteers for this serviee should e.vcecd the demand.
For here is iiiitiestiomil!y tho most important advertising
project ever offered to this section of the state. It is the first
official recognition of Crater Lake, as a national attraction, by
a California organization, and, in return for courtesies ex
tended, these deleirutes, through their newspapers, will give
this i-oiutnti nity free advertising worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the open market.
Moreover, this advertising is just 'what Southern Oregon
needs. California is Oregon's best customer. An overwhelm
ing proportion of our new settlers, und. our inereiising tourist
patronage, come from our neighboring stiito to the south. It is
in thai state that advertising will return the largest profits.
This exeursion will be comparatively u. simplo one. Medford
has only to take the delegates to the lake. Their return will be,
in charge, of Klamath Kails.
According to reports from Klamath Kalis, their automobile
tpiota has already been filled, and there is literally u scramble
for places in the caravan. When the importance of this occa
sion is appreciated, there will probably be a similar situation
here.
If you have a ear, therefore, and wish to devote half a day
to entertaining the California editors, now is the time to come
forward and join the list of volunteers at the local Chamber
of Commerce. Those who tako part in this excursion will have
the satisfaction of participating in the most important publicity
project ever staged in Southern Oregon. .
NOT SURPRISING
THE surprising tiling is not that an attempt to'asftiissinntc
Chang Tso-Lin by his own countrymen was miotic today, but
that such nn attempt had not been made long ago.,
Kor years Chang has been the avowed ally of Japan. When
things became too warm in China he went to Japan to live,
That ho has had. a secret agreement with the Nippon govern
ment, looking to his own control in I'ekiu and Japanese control
in Manchuria, is generally conceded,
. In other words, Chang has been playing tho role of Benedict
Arnold for' an extended period, and witli far greater success
than the American traitor. That he has been allowed to go his
way unmolested for so long merely demonstrates tho lack of co
hesion and the absence of genuine patriotic leadership in that
vast chaos of conflicting factions, known as China.

A young womaHi writes:
"I am a dally reader of your col

"Our annual vucatlon la threat
ened. We (two girls aged 19 and
I'D go to I he east
ern shure for two
delightful weeks
of outdoor life,
each summer, tut i have lway been under the lm
just before Christ- j presslon that all green vegetables
mas a friend wt ' w(,re good for anyone, but have
visit came down ueou Informed that asparagus was
with typhoid fe-jhard on "le kidney. (P. 1L)
ver and died In! Answer. All green vegetables
February with1 are 8ood for most of u. A few
what waB called
"typhoid kidney." The source of
her Infection is not known hut her
family has a vague suspicion that
she got the germ in drinkluG
water.
"Mother Insist we cannot go to
the shore unless we take the ty
phoid vaccination first. We don't
want to take It. Shall we? We
shall be guided by your answer.
We usually have our vacation In
August. If you advise vaccination,
when should we have it done, now
or when we are ready to go to the
oountry?"
This mother knows her bacilli,
tier daughters have considerable
yet to learn from their best friend.
Certainly the girls should report
to the family doctor NOW and re
ceive the three "shots" of typho
bacterin or typhoid "vaccine."
Kvery man In the American ex
peditionary force received this Im
munizing treatment before he went
to France, and the world war was
the fijst America ever fought in
which she suffered no losses from
typhoid or para typhoid fevor. Oh,
yeB, there was a case or two among
tho. millions of men, but that I
nothing at ail to a sane mind. And,
yes, we had no sanitation In the
battle area much of the time. So
you see there can be no possible
question that this immunization or
"vaccination," If you prefer to call
It that, protected our troops from
the ravuges of typhoid, tho disease
that destroyed more lives in form
er wars than the putative enomy
did.
Usually the typhobuterln (it con
sists of a suspension of the killed
bacilli of typhoid and of paraty
phoid A und 13) In administered
In three doses at weekly intervals,
by hypodomiic Injection. Even one
confers considerable Immunity, but
not enough to protect ug.tlnst an
overwhelming Infection.
The mnjorlty of parsons receiv
ing this prophylactic treatment the
tlrst time, suiror llttlo or no dis
comfort from It. A few suffer a
mild mnlutse. fur a day, particu
larly a heuduche. Nune suffers any
serious effect.
The immunity probably roqulrcs
a few weeks to develop. So it is
well to have tho treatment NOW
and not wait until you are about to
visit the scene of tho crime.
Nowadays, in most typhoid out
breaks, it is not the polluted drink
lim water, but an unsuspectod car
rlor, a poison who has hud typhoid
fever perhaps many years ago and
who Htill eliminates virulent ty
phoid bacilli from a persistent lo
cus of infocllon about the gallmtc.
In summer resorts such persons
are likely to turn up, as cooks,
waiters or other food handlers.
Some such source may have geon
responsible lor the case the young
woman mentions. Anyway, mother
is absolutely-light. The girls should
not return to the scene of tho crime
without proper protection. Indeed,
I should advise everybody who has
not already had typhoid fever or
the prophylactic treatment, to se
cure this piotectlon before touring,
ernvelln.jt or viBltlng summer re
sorts; and especially when one
knows typhoid has occurred in the
vicinity within recent season.

To tho Editor:
Yenr after year veiled trnRedles
KO in in our scholia. There are the
fullurex of children, to make their
grade. 'When we once realize the
moral effort on the child of failure
lo ihmh to a hlBh.r' grade, wo can"
underutund Um Feriousnewi. .
We know failure in the buainena
world can cripple the fighting
apirit of a bUHtnoaaman and blight
hla future. The plight of the dis
couraged atudent is leas obviou8.
That It la Juat aa real and Juat aa
potent, educators are well aware,
though parent! may not be.
The federal bureau of education
figures indicate thnt ouu of 1,000
children who enter first grade, only
311 enter the eighth. Fifty-one
or approximately onc-alxtll, drop
out before entering high school.
Out of the 260 entering high school
only 107 graduate. Approximately
half of these enter colleges and
only a third finish
It will be seen that educational
mortality Is strikingly high. lOlim
Inatlng the economic fuctor. It Is
unquestionably true that ono of the
chief anises Is Inability -to' ninko
the grade. ' ' I
Parents and laymen are prone to .
lay the blame for this on tho teach
er or on the educational system, j
They do not perhaps realize that
education Is two-fold In the homo I
aa well as In the school. The facta!
heretofore mentioned aro familiar
I to educators and the schools go'
to great lengths to supply the rra
edy. But without the cooperation
uf the parvnt the school Is handi
capped. We are new approaching the sea
son of greatest fatality In school
life. Parents who are concerned
over, their children's failure are apt
to think of It Is terms of an extra
period of schooling, the monotony
of the repetition of work, or us In
jurious to fumlly pride. They rare
ly reckon the effect on the morale
of tho child or the expense of
"repeaters' to the community. .
Itegardless of the cauwe of fail
ure, the fact remains that It Is one
of the greatest calamities that can
enter a child's life.. The pupil is
dubbed a failure at an Impression
able age. .Tho result may be an
Inferiority complex, hard to hrow
off. If failure Is hard on an adult.
It Is correspondingly hard on the
child. If failure In business results
in loas to other members of a com
munity, likewise failure of pupils
means loss to the taxpayers.
Several factors operate to pre
vent school failures or to reduce
them to a minimum. One Is the
cooperation of parents and school
authorities. Report cards, whether
expressed In- grades,- letters, prog
ress charts or any other form that
these , reports, may take, are In
dicative of the child tendencies.
When these reports show close
proximity to the danger line, fre
quent conferences between parent
and teacher may save the day for
the child as well as tho taxpayer.
The schools have always pleaded
for this cooperation.
It may not be, generally appre
ciated by the pupils, but school
systems have adopted various de
vices .to., remedy this condition.
These involve such agencies as op
portunity rooms, sducatlonal guid
ance, Individual Instruction, -motivated
Reaching (special provision
for the undernourished) and health
supervUlon. Then, too, the pro
vision qq. special .subjects, such as
art, music, mankjal and household
art, has"avd mrfnyehlld. These
subjects afford an opportunity for
self-expression and frequently form
the interest-contact. v
Parents must be alert to their
responsibility with regard to the
child and tho taxpayer, so that
they may, on tho one hand, safe
guard the self-respect and aelf
'confldence of the child, and, on
the other hand, that they may re
duce to a 'minimum financial loss
to taxpayers due to pupil futlures.

When I was lens than three
feet tall there came a prophet
to our town; his voice was great..
hlB tearing amull, he wore a Ions
and rusty sown. He preached
wherever men would utand and
listen to him for a while; the
end of all things was at hand,
ho told us. with his ghastly
smile. Upon a certain day the
.skies would roll together us a
sroll: the hills would full, the
dead would rise, and all 1h .
bells of doom would toll. Ilu
named the date, he named the
hour when these disasters would
befall; and so with somewhat
vulgar power he tirelessly Bent
forth his call. At first men
laughed and called him crazed,
but still he niado his ardent
spiels; and then, like people
charmed or daicd, they follow
ed at the prophet's heels. Anfl
as the day of doom drew nigh
they gave away their worldly
gear; no more they'd Bell or
trade or buy, their duty In this
world was clear. I well reall
the fateful day when all things
earthly were to end; -the prophet
and his pilgrims gray were
robed, all ready to ascend. .Upon
a hill they took their stand and
waited as the hours dragged by.
and naught occurred on sea or
land, and nothing happened to
the sky. And I recall my wild
