TIIAT nny imlividiiiil could, during un t-xteiidi'd period,' eui-
bczzle irH,0(10,0(H) from any rcsponsiblo, puhlicly-rcKuIuted,
fiiiaiiciiil iimtilution, iih this (iill)i'rt Hui'Kmiiyor ditl from tlic Hol
lywood liuildiii); mid Loan association of which he was Kcncral
mnmtKCT, shows 'tluit, as far as regulation of such institutions in
California is concerned, there must bo "something rotten in
Denmark."
One of two things must be true. Either the officials of the
state regulation department shut their eyes to UecKcmyer's pec
ulations, or they are guilty of criminal inefficiency and negli
gencc. Kur it is inconceivable that they could have been on the
job, in any fair interpretation of that term, and been entirely ig
norant, that tilings in this institution, we're not as they sh Juld be.
,
X EITIIEIt. ease' wo agree with Govcrnoi'-clcet Iiolph that a
thorough house-cleaning in the liuildiiig and Loan, regula
tion department, should bo eauried on, and the responsible offi
cials should be held to a strict accountability.
A regulatyry department that couldn't prevent a wholesale
robbery of "this sort is worse than no regulatory department at
all. For it gives a feeling of false security to the people, encour
ages them to invest their savings, and therefore invites just the
sort of calamity that has occurred and that such a system of
public regulation is designed'to prevent. ,
nPHE situation calls attention to the need of some system o
state guarantee for depositors in any financial institution
whisli has the legal privilege of solieiting them. The people are
entitled to protection against having perhaps the savings of a
lifetime, wiped out, because some, individual wants to play the
stock market, buy oil wells, or sport another BoU.s-Royce. The
loss should not fall upon the individual, but upon the state, that
licenses such institutions, and pretends to regulate them in the
people's interest.
DOWN WITH THE CHRISTMAS CREPE HANGERS
HAVE received a letter from the East urging ns to send
no Christmas presents, because none will be sent us. AVc
have an idea the mail is full of similar letters this year.
In view of the widespread business depression thcidca is
undoubtedly a natural one, but. U our' mind it isn't a good one.
At least we don't think it a good inc for those who arc assured
of three square meals a day, and could purchase the usual num
ber of gifts without going into the hands of a receiver.
For just as Medford's made by Mcdford trade, so Christmas
is made by C'linslnias trade.' We are just as much opposed, to
no, Christinas givipg this year as iu 'the past we have been op
posed to too niiieh, and too indiscrimijiiite giving. ;
There should be a happy medium in all such things. If this
"no present policy" should be universally adopted, then we
might talk all we wish about the
be no Christmas spirit, such as
we were young. 1
C "l1' have declined the invitation above, and we are going to
send out Chi'istnias gifts this year, as we have in the past.
They are not going to amount to much, but they arc going to
(present a "thought" and iu
still believe the "thought" is important.
And we also believe, buying presents this year, particularly
for the children is unusually important. For. the more buying
there is, tho less of suffering there will be, the less unemploy
ment' there will be, the more happy children there will be aiid
the sooner wc will return to normalcy.
'
SO, OUR Eastern friends tire going to get something to re
mind them that this is the Christmas season, whether they
want to bo reminded or not. Wc realize, it is a trite saying,
but like many other trite sayings it is also a true one that it
really IS "more blessed to give than to receive."
It is also more fun. We intend to get our "fun" out of
Christmas this year, whether anyone else does or not. And at
the risk of sounding somewhat self-righteous, wc arc going to
add that wc believe tlte more people who' do likewise, the better
for the country, the better for Christmas, and the better for
themselves.

Having disposed of the mental

turned immediately to another bo-
yfal malady, . lie said:
'J "We havu before i utf ; a

tfsi iidmltted. without excoptlon.
jthwt we have absolutely no
; knowledge of tho real cause of

,) hlimlly In all methodH of treat-
nient . . . But of true preven
tion or even control we know
nothing. Still that does not
deter propagandists, and, to
our shame be it said, also
medical propagandists, from
literally frightening people,
even school children, out of
their wits and making vnin
promtsoM and arousing false
hopeft which are ho often fol
lowed by tragic awakening.
Again I venture the opinion
that, whatever the motive, sci
ence Is not served thereby. Hut
to revert to my own topic
("The Icgend of the I'reven
ttnn of Mental Dlscnsc,") one
shudders to contemplate that,
slnco we n trendy have fire

. The Chronlu Student . r.
(By Alico Judson Poalse) J
All of us know individuals long
past the age of adolescence who
spend their time In universities or
in special schools taking courses
for some remote goal that Is never
concretely brought into view.
Year after year they go on, In
volved In vaguo research, in cul
tural or artistic courses, paid for
by their elders or In Mime cases
even by husband or wife.
There are instances of young
women married to men apparently
thus 1 preparing themselves for
some splendid goal, who have
found tho economic burdens of
their marriage have coma to rest,
chiefly on their own shoulders.
An Individual gifted with some
thing more than average Intelli
gence mny yet be Infantile in his
attitude toward life's responsibili
ties. In prolonging indefinitely his
preparation for work, he evades It
altogether.
The high degree of speclatla-
tlon of work In our complicated
world demands prolonged prepar
ation for anyone who hopes to
take his position as something
more than a skilled laborer.
It is necessary for the adoles
cent, no matter how well oriented
he may be. to spend years in prep
aration for his work. I
This fact, coupled with the nat-;
ural concern of parents last they
deprive their children of oppor
tunities for making the best of
their lives, creates a situation In
which tho youth who finds study
ing easy may readily exploit those,'

Tho Little Black Clock
waiting for John and Peggy. !j ?
"When are we going back to iseo
Santa Claus again?; Peggy askfed.
"That was a
great trip with the
reindeer,'- John
added, "and what
dandy bouts and
trains and every
thing else Santa
Claus has made. I
have made a new
list of what I
want.''
"So have I,"
suld Peggy.
"We'll go up
there ugafn. very
soon." the Little Black Clock said.
"But tonight I'm going to use my
magic so we can see some very
queer companions.
"We have to go down tho path
and thun turn a corner one way
and then turn another corner the
other way. We'll get there In a
very short time."
"I'm thankful you're going to
show up the way." John safd.
"We'll start right away,' laugh
ed the Little Black Clock as he
thought of. the quite queer direc
tions he had given of how they
were to get to his friends.-
They followed the Little Black
Clock until they reached a place
which seemed to be all ' upsido
down and topsy-turvy. -
There were a number of funny
little people around, and whn
they saw the Llttlo Black Clock
they shouted with delight. '.
"We're so glad you could come.
It's bo good of you to let us be
your friends too." -k
Never had John and Peggy seen
such queer little people. They
seemed to get mixed up about ev
erything, too, and they always
seemed to he forgetting things or
rushing around saying:
"We re late, we're late."
Some milked as though every
thing might have been going qulto
the wrung way. while others look
ed ns though they were trying to
straighten things out a bit.
"What are their names?' John
and Peggy asked as the Little
Black Clock was about to whisper
something to them.
"They re the Mistakes and -Excuses."
the Little Black Clock an
swered. "You'll meet them all
now." .
