Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry
, It In the time of the year when
the want ad departments of the
papers carry brief announcements,
that the owner of a 1928 auto will
trade his equity In name for three
loads of wood and the winter's
rent, if taken at once.
From all the layman can read,
the trial of Alexander Pantages,
multi-millionaire.' Is about as com
plete a mess, from every angle, as
an American courtroom ever
knew. One detachment of expert
witnesses testify to one set of
facts, and another detachment of
expert witnesses, testify to the ox
act opposite. Fears are entertain
ed that a pastor, with more vaude
ville than gospel in his heart, will
deliver a radio address on what
the verdict should be, before the
Jury get a chance to return one.
Part of the time the fiery prosecu
tor is an embattled crusader for
the right, and tho noxt day he Is
running for a high offlco. One
witness Is arrested for perjured
piffle, and his wlfo really faints
for fear she will bo.' Tho com
plaining witness Is pictured by
tho state as a home girl, and by
tho defense as running around
nights to gay parties and other
festive occasions.- It would be a
stunning extravaganza, It tho prin
cipals wore tights.'
The hunters are' not 'slaying
many Chines 1hoasantS, but the
fatalities among the notch-tailed
woodpeckers aro heavy.
At Sand Lick, Ky., recently, a I
nun ui iismmnK iruvruu u rum-
dent and removed his false teeth.
This Is a suggestion to tho valley
gent who can't get his out, and
won't ride In a 4d over East Jack
son street.' " '
The esteemed Eugene Register
is the latest upstate periodical to
hop to the rescue of the toll-bent
'editorial writers,.- who have been
drained of Ideas. When Mark
Twain's mind became a . desert
without a single thought,' he took
a drink and awaited results, which
were -99.7 per cent readable. Alco
hol Is notorious for perking up the
mentality, and curing colds before
thoy grow into the flu. It Is sur
prising that while bemoaning the
deficit of editorlnl fodder In the
brain sihi under their hats, tho
scribes don't tackle the drug evil.
Few! If any, editorials aro written
upon the drug evil. It Is human
ity's leading menace, war and
whiskey to tho contrary notwith
standing. It Is not a political foot
ball, like prohibition, which weak
ens it as an editorial subject. It
is suggested that when the scribes
feel like writing two columns
about the dangers to the young
that lurk In cigarette advertising
on rural billboards, thoy open fire
on opiates, and not aim their big
gest guns nt Chinamen who smoke
opium. It Is a very Interesting
subject, and refutes part of tho
allegation thero Is nothing to write
about. It Is a dragon in whoso
vitals tho editorlnl pen can bo
Jabbed with gusto and, besides,
newspaper readers may be tired of
perusing praises of tho smartnoss
of tho lost legislature
Thero was once on editorial
writer who wanted to do some
thing else, so the story goes, lie
took his trusty scissors and whack
ed out' a column-long editorial
from tho New York Hun.
At tho top he wrote:
"What does tho editor of the
New York Hun mean by this?"
At the bottom he wrote:
"We pause for a reply."

FEWER LAWS WOULD
THERE can ulways be too much of a Rood thing. Ah a gen
eral principle muss production iH a good thing. But when
in a sb production iH applied to law milking, hh it in applied in
thiH country at the present time, it cciiHcs.to be a good thing.
. Since 1927 Oregon lius passed nearly 1(100 new laws. Dur
ing the present year 16,!)L'l new lawn were passed in 4.'J out of
the 48 slates. There are now so inaiiy laws on our statute- books
that probably there aro few citizens, indeed, Who do not break
some old or new law, once or twice a wcek.
Tlio National Industrial Council has launched a movement
to correct this evil. This effort deserves the support of all
right-thinking people. As M. J. Hickcy, the secretary of the
organization points out, however, little progress in ' this
direction can be made until the American people, a& a whole,
recognize the fallacy of the theory that foivevery condition not
universally regarded as desirable, some statute must bo passed.
Continuing, Sir. Hickcy declares: -
"It Is earnestly to he hoped that President Hoover's law en
forcement commission will not fall to give careful thought to our
annual and biennial rush for making new laws 1n large volume.
Long and close observation leads to the conclusion that so long
as we continue to Indulge our American passion for mass produc
tion of legislation, we cannot hope to attain or restore general
public respect for law, nor expect effective law enforcement.
"It Is not the fault alono of our lawmakers, nor our political
nyKtems. It is mainly due to misguided Individuals, groups, so
cieties for or agalnBt this or that, who foolishly or maliciously
endeavor to solve real or alleged social, political or economic dif
ferences or Issues, by legislative flats.
"The sadly confused Btate of our Amorlcan laws Is largely
traceable to our perennial mania for new laws. In my opinion
this Is today threatening to undermine the continued permanency
and soundness of our principles and our methods of government."
COLLAR AD APOLLO
A MONO other things the modern girl seems to nave put
aside is the idea that her ideal man must combine the best
features of Apollo and the collar ad model. If you doubt it,
consider the matinee idols of yestcrycur, Francis X. liushman,
John Uarrymore, Maurice Costello, then consider the figures
that capture the heart of feminine America today the Prince
of Wales, Lindbergh, Rudy Vallce. Nice fellows, those latter
three, charming perhaps, but not handsome by any measurements.
Wales and Lindbergh represent position and achievement,
but Rudy Vallce, just a nice, friendly looking kid who croons
soft ballads over tho radio and out of the talkie screen, how has
he won such a place as no man since Valentino!
'Tho answer given by Nanette
Vallec in Smart Set magazine
WaleH, too, in a meiiHiirc and
the American girl.
MX 7ALLEE fits tho young girls fancy because he could be
. V just any young man," she says. "There are millions of
him in tho United States, in every city, in every village. He
looks like anybody else, like scores of other boys. And, you
can see that when the average girl gazes at her best beau, tho
one who has been taking her out every Saturday night for sis
months, she stares at him and suddenly realizes that he re
sembles Rudy Vallec. Maybe it is his nose tho nose that
could be shorter or his eyes, the eyes that don't quite matcli,
or the unruly way his hair curls.' ' ' . i
"Vallec is reflected in nine-tenths of America's swains. For
eign sheiks and imported stars shake their heads at his popu
larity j renowned orchestra leaders sneer at his tiny band; musi
cal favorites with powerful lungs wonder at his tiny voice. But
they do not understand."
What they do 4iot understand, and what Vallce himself docs
not quite understand, the Smart Set writer points out, is the
obvious explanation.
"When you say there is nothing extraordinary about his
looks and mannerisms, his eritica are correct, but their very
criticisms reveal the secret of Vullce's success," nho concludes.
Now they1 sny the watermelon i 912 per cent water. Each
diner, liowcve, will continue to find a different percentage, of
can't in cantaloupe.
Dean Inge nays great men are "depressed and anxious be
yond what tho circumstances justify," hut doesn't name any
others like that.
Having tried candidates who offer as martyrs to civic duty,
perhaps cities could mend matters by selecting men who haven't
a martyr complex.
It is announced that Mrs. MeOormick's campaign will be
bunkless. Evidently the announcement isn't part of tho campaign.
"What a life. On tho highway you are annoyed by the taste
of advertisers; on a detour by the taste of t lie landscape.

THIS FUNCTION-
in tho Fifth Health Quoutlon-
halro vhlch wo recently, conducted
Ip thla column tho fintt of the 10
questions was, "What Ih the func-
030 flnffwera sent
in by r e a! d era,
334 gave the cor.
rect miHwor, 17B
gave no answer
to that question,
181 gave, -wrong
answers, and 239
gave facetious or
humorous ans-wers.
The appendix in man ' has no
known function ' now. It may
have been a part of the diges
tive tract In man at some re
mote time In tho pant,'- but . at
present It serves no purpose, . even
in early infancy. Certain other
structures that have lost or are In
process of losing their usefulness,
their function, are the tonsils,
the wisdom teeth, the gall blad
der and the muscles that wiggle
tho ears. From the type -of tis
sue composing the tonsils we may
reasonably assume that these bod
ies, along with the pharyngeal
or third tonsil, commonly known
as vthe adenoid body, may still
contribute toward defense against
infections entering by way of di
gestive ' or respiratory tracts, at
least in infancy and early child
hood. But In adults the tonsils
serve no 'such purpose, we must,
acknowledge on the same ground
for the tonsils of .adults aro not
composed of the peculiar adenoid
or round cell tissue, but mainly
of fibrous tissue, which Is merely
a kind of framework, trellis or
scaffolding for actual repair tissue
to grow on or for actually func
tioning cells.
Quite a number of readers who
gave wrong answers to the ques
tion betrayed their fondness for
hokum literature, by which I mean
the plausible suggestions or theo
ries set forth by Innumerable cult
or fad healers or self-commended
health experts, usually through
the modtum of a so-called health
or physical culture periodical, tho
often by means of circulars, book
lets or other appeals mailed to
the prospect personally. These
long distance philanthropists I
believe, first invented the scheme
of defending tho appendix against
tho machinations of tho doctors by
telling the ever credulous public
that the appendix Is the oil can
of the alimentary canal. After
the mail order hoys had establish-'
ed the funny idea on a paying
basis, some of the drugleHs heal
ers took it up and worked It into1
their appeals to prospects. . .
I have always enjoyed a chuckle
at this oil can idoa, tho never so'
much as 1 do now thnt I have
loist my appendix. Still, I know
It' Is no laughing matter, to a'
Victim who has succeeded tn evad
ing instruction In elementary hu
man physiology while exposed to
education. 1 can and do believe1
that such an unfortunate on turn-1
ing his appendix over to the doc-1
tors, is quite likely to cultivate
un obsttnato ense of constipation
under the influence of the oil l
can obsession.
Some of the wrong unswers
show, once more, that as a health !
promoter I nm not such a fine 1
teacher us I ought to bo( after all
these years of experience Read
ers have It that 1 teach that the
appendix is a catch basin for
"troublesome, germs, which other
wine might enter the blood stream
und attack some vital orgnn with
so rlu us results." I can understand
how readers may have received
such an Impression from my col
umn, but hero and now bo It
known to all men, and to any
woman who may be Interested,
that the appendix In man today
has no uso whatever, and that Roes
for disposing of troublesome germs
or for anything elso you may assu-i-tuto

A .Simple Cure.
Kindly tell me if anything can
be done for gall-bladder dyspep
sia. Mrs. h. 13.
Answer 'Yes, remove the gall
bladder. Reducing.
Is there any way to reduce su
perfluous flesh by dlot and exer
cise? If so, will you please help
me out? O. T.
Answer Yes, I believe that Is
the only safe way to reduce. Bend
a stamped envelope bearing your
address, give your age, height, and
weight, and say you want to re
duce. No advice given unless In
my opinion the correspondent
should reduce. I'm sole judge
about that.
. jVood to (Fat.
Is there a possibility of your
food all turning to fat, rather than
any extra blood? I. O'B.
Answer No, tho ' It does seem
that way sometimes, doesn't it?

Observing signs of unrest that
sometimes leads to dangerous riots
the authorities of Jollet prison in
Illinois immediately took measures
"conciliatory and defensive.':
Conciliation will do more than
defense, for desperate men cannot
be kept quiet, as shown recently
in Colorado, even when rebellion
means sure death.
The best sort of "conciliation"
would be to give men In prison
work to keep them busy at fair pay
to help their dependents, or be
given- to them when they leave
prison.
The difficulty Is to find work that
will not interfere with men that
have done nothing to put them in
Jail.
Road building, that would not be
done unless by prison labor, might
be a good solution, except that it
exposes convicts to the public eye,
and the sight of men working with
armed guards over them Is depress
ing to tho public.
It Is very interesting to learn
that the gentlemen supporting the
beet suRnr industry hsve spent
about $500,000,000 on their lobby
in eight years.
It is particularly Interesting to
know that part of the money has
been spent "to promote the libera
tion of the Philippines."
The sugar lobby wishes to set
the Filipinos free, because If free
thoy couldn't bring In sugar with
out paying a high duty. That would
give home made sugar a better
chance.
4
This Information conies at n
rather awkward time. Congress
was about ready to free those dear
Filipinos and It would bo a little
embarrassing to do so, knowing
how much money Is back of their
freedom.

JACK'S CASTIE
By Mary (jraliam Homier.
Jack Frost was wearing a white
suit with fringy edges and a long,
funny cap that hung down his
back. "
From his cuffs and around his
collar and the tops of his boots
were fringy edges of white. Ho
looked very much like a handsome
creature made out of frost but
very stylish . and very dashing. In
spite of his untidiness.
"So you've brought them to call
on me" Jack Frost said.- . And ai .
he spokeyou could iee -his :brbat;l.'
"It Is chilly," Peggy thqught as
she tucked her sweater up at the'
collar. .....
"Well. I'll show you around,"
Jack suld. . And ho took them over
his caHtle. ' . . I
They saw tho workers he had.
They were planning some ot the
new patterns for window decora
tions this year, and they were
choosing tho colors they would .
paint the trees.
They were planning which flow
ers they would nip first, and which -they
would not put to sleep until
later.
"You're back In time. Jack
Frost was first ' laying out his
work," the Little Black Clock said.
"But he continues to work out his
first plans year after year. He says
they are quite satisfactory, and ho
will keep his same workers, too."
Jack Frost now showed them
how he would send his people all
over tho world to do their duties.
"Don't say you don't like us. Our
work, you must admit, is beautiful.
If It were not for us you wouldn't
