They are a prosperous looking lot hut. like the' farmer, will not admit pros perity. The first thing a banker learns Is never to turn his head to spit when talking to a citizen, If there Is any spondulicks within roach. The second thing ho learns Is to close up his fiduciary deposi tory, as often as the barbershops do, In order to properly observe a varlogated list of holidays. A good banker can say "NO," and make It sound as pleasant as if he had said yes. People go into a bank and ask to borrow $2. They are amazed When the 'banker wants some se curity bcsldos their word and good looks. Thjiy cxpoct the bunker to say: "Shovel up nil the cosh you need, but you will havo to furnish your own shovel." .,, '. - .' . A first-class banker always has a largo assortment-of pens handy. lUnlike the postofflco pon, they will write. :, .

(Chicago Tribune.) Halem. New administration building and women's ward of Ore gon stato prison opened, A CITY MANAGER FOR MEDFORD B'JtERU is no doubt Hint the city maun jjor form of jiovitii- incut is the best method of iminieipiil ailniiiiisliatioii. Over 4110 .Amei-iemi cities Imve mlopted it, und practically none of tlieiii have abandoned il. Cities us law us Cleveland, Ohio, with 80(1,000 population, and us small hs the "original cjty miUMitvr city," jftunton,-Virginia, with 10,000, have found that the plan pays. There is no reason to doubt that .Medford would have a similar experience. The superiority of the manager plan rests chiefly in con centration of responsibility, elimination of divided authority, decrease of overhead and, greater .efficiency all around. Rep rescntative gnvernmcnt is not abandoned. A municipal council of from three to nine members is elected as under the older system. Ji lit. this council instead of dividing up the work among themselves, via tile committee system, selects a city manager who takes all the executive and adininisl ration work in charge. lie is paid a salary commensurate with his responsi bilities, and the capabilities reipiircd, and is responsible only to the council, who represent the people. As a result the city manager is not forced to waste time and energy in playing politics. He is or should be a spec ialist in city administration and can devote all his time to working for the city and promoting it s best interests. In snort, the city manager plan is simply adopting the sys tem in public business, that; has been such a conspicuous success in private business. t( fJEFOKH Medford adopts a city manager plan, one thing - should be clearly understood. It is no cure-all for munici pal ills. K adopted it will work no miracles. It increases the opportunities for securing better government rather than auto matically achieving it. flood men can get 'better results with poor machinery, than poor men can with good machinery. Hut the city manager form does supply belter 'machinery, and other things being equal, such action is therefore a constructive step toward what we all desire better, more economical and more satisfactory government.

Itlchardson and Hearn remind uh, In their rocont book, "Tho Pre school Child and his Posture" (Putnam), that primltlyc man had and still has strong, well do : Ve loped flat feet. They should havo lidded that prlin i Itlvo -man's feet are 1 a r g e, too. Ur. H I c hardson (physician) nnd Miss Ho'nrn I tvJVf (physical educa tor) do observe that primltivo man couldn't af ford to mesw around with pain ful foot, bunions, calluses nnd tho llko. Notwithstanding the contribu tion of Henry Ford to modern civilization, man can scarcely af ford to. havo Bueh luxuries, oven now, and there uro signs that ho Is beginning to realize it. Hut the women nro more reluctant to give up their self-punishment; being, after nil, tnoro submissive than the male, the female of tho spe cies obeys tho dictates of fashion, nnd fashion does horrible things to tho feet. .- Probably most of tho pvlls built Into shoes purport to make tho feet look smaller than they are. A century or more ngo some of our forebears had discovered how lo llvo without work I nt:. nnd with that discovery came the realisa tion that one could ride or be carried, rather than walk, almost anywhere Out of this evolution or decadence, ns you please, grew tho arlHtocratln affectation of small feet. In our genera Hon.. happily, young women no longer vie In fainting, going Into decline J and being pillttbly helpless In every way. On the contrary they'ro beginning to accept health as tho secret of real charm and beauty. Freak feet, no matter how tiny, no longer cut any Ice In a girl's career, whether she elects to shine In musical , comedy or agitato things via mother's clubs. Dr. Kichardsnn and Miss Hearn sou tho evolution of foot troubles in a slightly different light. Grad ually, they say, a new typo of foot was evolved, as a conse quence of the disuse of the feet Vtft MUTT AND JEFF Ruined By Amateur Competition i : - . . ..!.-.... i 7 7,-1 1 1 " - -i. i , - . hrslene. not to disease. flljumwli or trimni by our aristocratic ancestors. (I say ours in tho humorous sense). This new typo of foot was shorter and narrower than tho primitive foot, tho authors say; 1 11 add It was a darn sluhl uirHnr tun Tlw. ' authors remind us it is a well known scientific fact that on or gan or muscle tends to atrophy and lose its power of functioning when allowed to remain Inactive after long, habitual activity. Tho shoemaker soon took his cue and devised tho freak pointed shoes with narrow high heels to make tho foot look even tinier. Such shoes nuttlo any hare-brained creature feel she hud never done a tnp of work In her life. Per haps they still have some such effect, judging by Hut these authors go too far with their reversed reasoning. They noxt say "If anyono doubts that activity Increases tho size of the foot, let him ask a group of nurses the sizes of tho shoes they wot when they graduated. Many will bo found to ho wearing shoes which nro two or even three sizes tavger than they wore when they began their probationary period. They wero serving during that period; they were not being ser ved." That Is probably a correct ob servation, with a wrong deduction. The renvoii why nurses wear larger shoes la because they have learned some sense, in the first place; and also they have learned they could not do their work sat isfactorily while their dogs are crowded into shoes a couple of sles too small.

Plense tell me if it Is all right to give banana scraped to a child 15 months old. We havo been giving our baby 3 or 4 teaspoon fuls of craped banana every day and we are told now that ba nanas cause convulsions in chil dren. Mrs. C. S. A ns wer Hy sera ped ba nana I assume you mean the pulp of ripe banana, it is not only all right, but by all means advisable for every baby, beginning at the age of, say, four months, feeding a teaspoonful a day, and Increasing gradually, week by week, till tho baby takc a banana a day at tho age of eight or 10 months. This has proved not only highly nutri tious, especially in cases of puny, sickly undernourished infants, but it solves the constipation prob lem in infancy. The banana should bo thoroughly ripe, yet not mushy. When quite ripe the ba nana skin is golden yellow, mot tled with brown, but not blacky marks. . The addition of banana to the diet has brought health to many a baby after all kinds of artificial foods have failed. (Copyright, John F. Dllle Co.)

Stalin, across tho line in Rtis sit, watches the performance with interest, you may be sure. He feels that Rumania's wheat fields, oil wells and fruit orchards should be Russia's.

Dr. Laird's scientific tests prove "it is possible to stay awake longer, with far less harmful after effects, when highly concentrated energy foods, such as cakes, candy or sweetened drinks, are consum ed at intervals during the night.!' Candy in reasonable quantities, simply made, especially the kind kept in the mouth for a long time, Is good for children. Good plain candy should be part of- every' child's diet. To say "candy ruins the teeth" is nonsense. Normal acids, orange and lemon juices, especially are necessary for children. Often children of the poor are healthier than those of the rich.

Communications To the Editor: , A recent inquiry was made through your editorial column aa to how the present setup of that column appealed to the readers of your paper'. If any contemplat ed change yqu havo in mind results in the same awkwardness that your cross-word puzule how presents to the readers, I'd say, "Don't do it." You now have two puzzles in one issue, 1. e., one the actual word puzzle and the other how to fold the paper in order to work it. Be tween the two issues I find the hardest puzzle is folding the pa per. To make it harder why don't you put the blank squares on one page and the word definitions on on another page that would make it still harder to work. "DISGUSTED." (Name on file.)
