MOOENHEN COMPANY Office In New York, Chicago, Detroit, Ian (TrancUco, Los Angles, Seattle, Portland Ye Smudge Pot (By Arthur Prry) , . The professional women of the Htate meet here today, In the lead Ing trapfthootlng contests of the year, and words will flow and long Hklrts flounce. The professional woman is no different from the nmateur woman, except that she brazenly admits she can think faster than the brute whose hand she held while looking the preach er In the eye. It is only since trie war, that the professional woman has been recognized, as before that struggle she was enslaved, and did no plain and fanoy thinking in public. They are all vory foxy, a trait they inherited from a girl named live. It has been the cus tom since the dawn of time, for the fearless men to whittle their voices down to a pathotio whine, if they were going to say or write anything that was apt to make the women mad, to shut their eyes and exclaim, as If they meant it: "The Ladles: God Bless Them." Ho says your correspondent, who wants to know, collectively and In dividually, where they got their pretty dresses. Indeed, "Uod Bless tho Ladles," as the opening sen tence looks like it might contain tlynamlto, and bo just cause for a dainty lynching.. ..... Woman has become 'a fraotlon (beg pardon I factor, Is what we want to say) in politics. This year she did not take much Interests ns none of the candidates kept their hair combed, or looked like Conrad Nagel, ..the movie actor, without v hlft sideburns. "Women reuahed the zenith of their political astuteness In 1916, when they could not find time to wash tho dishes; for screaming: He Kept Us Out of War. They were regusted when they discovered they had been fooled, by a man and, a Democrat, at that. In 1922, they wore hoodwinked. The women professional or amateur are not outstanding as politicians or run ners. The Ladles: Qod Bless Them. The women are vory discrimi nating. If a millionaire .broaks tltolr heart, they will sue him for $800,000. If a counterjumper, auto mechanic, farmer, or section worker bUBts that vital organ, with a series of Hob on tho, sumo lines as told by tho millionaire, they will talk their No. 1 hero Into going down to heartbreaker and kicking .the hell out of him in a thorough manner. If they want a good job, they will do It themselves, and then nurse their victim with tender care until ho throws : away his crutches. Again we say: The Ladles: Them, as loud as possible. There are two standard types of the. fair sex brunettes and blondes. The latter has a slight edge, as she can dyo hnr hair rod and does not get grey back of the tarn, as early ns tho brunettes, Both classifications become plump If they don't watch what they eat. They wago an unending war on fat, and to this end will eat like a canary all week, and like a horse fin Hund'ay. ' They have a weakness for salad on a lettuce foundation The stem of the lettuce must al ways point away from tho eater. Thy ; also llko to play bridge, which stops their jabbering (Uod J liens the Ladies!) Bridge,, how ever makes them frown, enabling tho can! "server to see whore a f'.ow stepped, at tho corners of their eyes. The women are excellent auto drivers,, and when they hear the brakes squeal and the fendra crash they 10011; sympathetic and remark: "A-haIM another man drlverl" A few years back, the women In ho rod under tho hallucination that the Lord did not know what he was doing when ho installed their eyebrows, so they eradicated the eyebrow and drew a straight black lino on their alabaster brows, where they thought the 'tyebrow should be. This did now prove practical, and has been abandoned by all except girls with extraordi nary determination. -If the gals could handle a dock of cards like they do a powder puff, they could hick an ace off the bottom of the deck artistically. Man Is the bread winner, and women are the bread- losers. This effusion will now be ter mlnated, and, In the event tt has not been mentioned, again we re mark: ;' The Ladies: God Bless Them HEPPNKR Uaorge Lambrlth, of Alpine, dropped dead nt a ball game after the umpire had called ' HAVE YOU WE are tfie most efficient people in the world in our private business, and the least efficient in our public lAsiness. Tbis truth is demonstrated nearly every election day, and today's primary promises to be no exception. ( For half the electorate to fail to attend the polls would be sad enough. But all political observers affree that today this percentage of delinquency will probably reach 60 pv cent and perhaps 70. The strangest feature of this situation is that the very people who complain most vociferously of theii government, and lam bast tho politicians most persistently after the votes are counted, are the very ones who fail to fulfill the first duty of good citi zenship on election day. . . IN bis private affairs the average business man thinks for him self, informs himself, exercises the most meticulous care iu the selection of his employees. Hut when it comes to selecting his employees in the public service, he either votes thoughtlessly, for those who have hap pened to tickle bis vanity or appealed to his gullibility; or be votes for no one at all, and allows the ignorant or self-seeking minority to do bis voting for him. , FOR 20 years the Mail-Tribune has, on every election day, urged everyone to vote. Yet during this time, here in Jack son County, the voting percentage lias declined rat her than ad vanced, the slacker list has increased rather than decreased. It is very discouraging. Yet there is nothing to do but keep plugging away, with the hope that as drops of water will eventually wear away a stone, so persistent pleading will, one of these days, bring some tangible results. -'.- SO we repeat what wc have said so often before. If when you read tbis yon haven't voted, 'before you do anything else, take a trip to the polls. The voting time does not expire until 8 o'clock tonight. Don't fall back on tho time-honored alibi of the slacker, "what difference can one vote make!" ' One vote can make all the difference between good government and bad government, between honesty and efficiency in the public service, and the re verse; between performing one's duty as a good citizen, and shirking it. If we had our way every election day would be a public holi day, for on that day no business is ns important as the business of going to the polls; no duty so compelling, as tho duty of each individual, marking a ballot in accordance with bis desires and convictions.

Carl Tengwald is naturally anxious to secure the full quota and under the circumstances this should not be a dif ficult thing to do. , ' For not' only 1h' Company A a good thing for Medford, but a good thing for t)e young men- who compose it. It brings ap proximately $10,000 in outsido money into this community every year. It provides excellent mental and physical training for the members, and prepares them their country in case of danger., Joining the company, at this tractive. For in a few weeks now. all members will be civen a vacation at the sea shore with 'being the two weeks' encampment of the National Guard. Judas went out and banged himself, there being no publish ers at that time to beg for bis autobiography. Senator Borah lives on what he cams as a senator. If some of tho others tried that they wouldn't noed reducing exercises. The old Greek usod a lantern to find an honest man. An other way is to try them out as dry agents. It is at least excellent continuity that a political campaign should eloso one week and a three-ring circus begin the next. It will soon be apparent that court houses as political issues are, for some straugo reason, very intoxicating. People under the influence of them so often say things and do things they regret ''the morning after." Too bad about Glcnna Collett. For tho second time sho has reached the finals in the British championship, onfy to be off her game in the crucial test and fall before an inferior player. The school of experience has advantages. If it makes you rich you aren't expected to endow the darn thing. , Naturo knows. Man is the only creature that has a con science, because he is tho only creaturo that needs one.

A HOSPITAL IS XO PLACE A representative of a large hos pital that has a "closed Btaff" ob jects to that term. He declares that It conveys a wrong Impres Hlon, and he urgen that the med ical or surgical ataff of such a h o s pltal should bo called an "ac credited staff" Then he goes on to say that "open staff doesn't mean just what tt tmples, either, for very often th'j hospital so char acterized In reality excludes some doctorit from treating patients or operating. liut even though wc admit there Is something In that, we can't accept the term "accred ited," because It Implies that doc tors not on the staff are of in ferior claBS or ability, and every body knows that Is generally not so. Carrying his argument fur ther, the representative of the hos pital approved and controlled by tho great medical oligarchy known as tho American College of Sur geons declares that all doctors may bring patients for hospital service, and those qualified may even op erate. ' ' But there's the very trouble we're quarreling about. Suppose Mr. Good Citizen, that you have t. good doctor who has proved his capability by long service in your family and who bears an excellent professional reputation in your community. . Then all of a sudden one of your family comes down with appendicitis and the doctor says immediate operation is neces sary. Very well. The doctor takes the patient to the fine class A hospital. You discover, to your chagrin, that your doctor is not "qualified" and . com't operate there; he has to turn the patient over, to a "qualified" man or else drag tho .patient out o,nd away to some open hospital. Yet this class A hospital asks for your moral and financial support and as a good citizen and a leader in your com munity (Incidentally as a big boob, I should add) you come across with -a contribution whenever the society folk who conduct the hos pital drive canvass you. - . . The general Influence of tho Amerlcnn College of Surgeons Is for the betterment of hospital and surgical service and. even nursing service. I can't deny that, even If I would. Many of the finest sur geons are Fellows of the A. C. S., and some of the best hospitals are approved and more or less con trolled by tho A. C. S. But bn'tho other h'and, at loast as many of tho best surgeons, specialists and physicians 'are not in sympathy with and do not desire or require the o. k. of this smug little oil garchy; and certainly tho majority of the good hospitals of the coun try do not submit to "regulation" nor accept standardization by the American College of Surgeons. This ambitious surgical society urges, and when it gains control of a hospital Insists upon a three year course of hospital training for student nurses. That is Ju.st one year more than is necessary to make a capable nurse out of a young woman who has had one or two years of high school. Thrre years may not be too long a course for the training of specialists, sup ervisors, technicians, teachers, sur gical assistants, superintendents, and whnt not, but the A. C. S. controlled hospitals can't justify' the excosslve duration of the or dinary nurse, training course by drugging in these special fields for the nurse with the desire, time and means for postgraduate study. ' The A. C. S. now threatens 'to mnko high school graduation tho minimum educational qualification for tho girl who would become a nurse. If this is brought about, folks, get ready to mortgage the home whenever any member of the family has to go to the hos pital. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS There, ThercKcep Your Slilrt On. I do wish the paper would glvo you moro space Instead of . . , (Oh-oh, must not belittle other features, children). I'm always quoting Dr. Brady andtI have prof iled a lot by your teachings and fine advice. This last winter, for tho first time In my life, I dis carded heavy undies, and I've nev er known a healthier winter. As for heavies. I say "Never again" for me! Mrs. O. H. 8. occupatiokj? TRAVELLING ft - a " T hat S f W P" 1 60T Sl r t -tj salesman: hvADio:i sixTEtw rawos vouV m r1-CN,.:.w m mcom6. TO ITT O.V THE IUTZ Answer. Now, old timers, do please keep your shirt on. I didn't advise this lady to discard her heavy armor. All I teach la that the less clothing one wears nt any time, with due regard for comfort, the better for health. If you find you are quite comfortable without the heavies, why drag 'em around on you all the time? If you are really more comfortable in sheer unmentionables, you'd be a gloom erous ninny to think you had to put on the heavy stuff just the same, so as to avoid worrying the old folks. Invalids, of course, should stick to their chest pro tectors and bellybands If their doc tors insist on It. Well people should wear or leave off what they darn please. This is sound hy giene, and I defy any one to con tradict It. Here's a Fcty Tlcnd. I have been drinking a wine glassful of asafetdla daily for a month and also one or two cups of sassafras tea'. Pleaso tell me whether I should continue this habit, and what benefit Is either to the system. E. H. S. Answer. I do not advise U. However, as far' as I know, there Is no serious harm In it if you like the beverages. The last time a advised a beaker of milk, of asa- fetlda for a somewhat exasperating patient she armed herself with cupful of butter and next time I made rounds she nearly buttered my bean with It. It developed that the patient did not like fety. Lemon Juice. What effect has lemon juice on the body? What organ does It principally affect? What will make a sluggish liver more active? S. T. J. Answer. Lemon Juice is a food. It doesn't affect one organ more than another. It helps to maintain alkaline blood and tissue reaction, ond to render the urine less acid. . How can you deduce the liver Is sluggish? I can't. But for that feeling, lemon Juice and all other fruits or fruit juices are excellent. (Copyright John F. Dllle Co.) Quill Points An old-timer Is one who can re member when people thought the town's rich man got that way as the reward of virtue. . An engineer Is the rlpht man to run the Grand Old Party if he's familiar with internal combustion engines. Funny man. Too proud to buy a UHed car, yet falls in lovo with a cutle who has been divorced seven times. The country now consumes six times as much Icq cream as it did in 1914 when people didn't eat lunch with a straw. One way to discover why a wife vmntH a divorce Is to unit mid sco what sho scots. It's been a long time now sine the thrifty iMr. Coolidge threw away a cigar butt long enough to be worth salvaging. Senate: A great deliberative body that decides a national ques tion in the way that will hold the voters In Podunk precinct. Americanism: Denouncing greedy landlords who pack tenants into fire -(trap buildings; burning prisoners four in a cell to save money. The trouble with straw votes is that Americans will vote for a wild night in the city If they know it won't count back home. 1 neater-goers are more gener ous than readers. They clap when an entertainer Is good instead of waiting to write the editor when he's rotten. Flying Is llko social cllmblnit. When you got high enough, you drift east to New York. But you come down when you get there. Those who ridicule the dally dos en have authority back of them. MAIL TRIBUNE DAILY CROSS-WORD ACROSS 1. MemltrNm.ut fiiivrli 4.

While I was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in 1919, I took tip with the Borden company the matter of establishing a milk canning establishment in or near Medford and was not repulsed. However, they investigated and as certained that Irrigation conditions were not satisfactory and suggest ed that when that fault was reme died it might be well to take up the correspondence again.

It was a path dis covered by the Little Black Clock-.' Or, per haps, he had made this path through" his mag ic. The children were not quite certain which it was, but at any rate, it took them every where so quickly. Along this magic path, too, there were always so many ways of getting to other places. Paths led off from it in all di rections and It seemed as though It were a direct and quick routo to everywhere! Then, too, It always seemed easy for the Little Black Clock to have anything or anyone he wished meet them along the path. An airplane could he there In no timo at all, or an old wagon, or a sleigh. There were nil sorts of beautiful spots along this path where they walked, but of course they never stayed along tho path for a very long time. They were always In a hurry to go to other places. But now they wandered along rather slowly. They saw waterfalls from time to time, nnd fascinating little caves, and tho Little Black Clock took them Into those caves and they found strange old stones, ' Some of the stones were thin nnd pointed and others looked as tho they had fans carved upon them They stopped and had a drink ot water from a cool, lovely pool, and then the Little Black Clock told Do Yon Remember?
