ANOTHER BRAIN STORM
OUR recent, editorial oa.the business and Ijruin depression
from .which thin country is stiJTerin, lias brought to our
desk from nn interested reader, a page advertisement of the
General American Junk Car Corporation.
This advertisement is on j age 42 of that excellent periodical.
"Time," dated January 1!', heiuled in large type, "Kresh
Fruit while snow is on the ground."
Underneath this caption is a halftone of a bunch of bananas
and a box of fresh strawberries the first paragraph of the ad-;
vertisement reading as follows:
"Today we accept as commonplace the miracle of fresh fruit
In the dead of winter. Yet not so many years ao who could have
dared to say It was poHslble?, Who could have foreseen Oregon
enjoying the fruits of U)uisi:tna and Maine, the bounty of Cali
fornia?" Who indeed!" The sight of Louisiana bananas and strawber
ries in Oregon stores would he in-the nature of a horticultural
miracle, as would the sight of California bananas in fruit stores
of Ilangor, Maine.
ilut why pi dc fin poor old Oregon, and place it in the same
climatic category as dear old Maine! We don't know what ad
vertising agency created this full page spread, but cerlainly
there must have been several brain storms in the drafting room,
during the process of composition.
(VKril.IIK snow is on the ground in Oregon and Maine!"
At the present moment the writer knows from actual
observation there is more snow from Ounsmuir to Shasta City,
California, -than in the entire state of Oregon. From the window
on our left w'an set; a large expanse of lawn, as lush and green
as the Kinerald Isle in early May. ' While .snow is on the
ground" in Oregon and .Maine!"
Oh, hum there is only one thing to do, ask the intellectual
L'ianfs and climatic, experts of
Corporation to kindly join up with the political expert of the
Oregon Journaland the members of the Wickersham commit
tee, as mental casualties of the panic of 1!)H0. f

vorsy could he slitdvcd, at. loiisl until 1 ho next presidential elec
tion. That it will be revived then, perhaps several months before
theii is praetieully certain. And, that president Hoover will
be on the Dry side is also eertnin.
AS LEADTCK ot the Drys, will he be renominated by the Re
publican convention? In our humble opinion he WILL lu
be not without strong ami bitter opposition, but in espousinir
the Dry cause he will be assured the support of a militant mi
nority, ami that is all any President with Ihc power of his office
at, his command needs, to secure a renoiiiination.
So unless President Hoover positively refuses a renoiiiina
tion it W as certain, as anylliiii!; in politics can be, that he will
Kct it.
WirKKKlTO.V the Democrats will be faced hy another
"fT"ltl opportunity." Will they be able to talie advan
tage of il ?
, .Aye, there's the rub! In the first place the Democrats have
a positive, penius for messini; up their opporl unities. In the sec
ond place, the business depression, which lias made so many peo
ple anli-lloovcr, may have vanished by. 1!W- as suddenly ami
mysteriously as the boom of viinislietl. Not likely, but in
economies, as in politics, anything may happen.
And if reasonably trout! tiiies should have returned a yen''
or two hence, not only the renoiiiination, but the re-election, of
Jlr. Hoover would be decidedly in the realm of probability.
The wealth oT the country is being divitlcil slowly but surely.

Those scientists who say only six people know when Kinstciu

So ninny boys now disgrace the family by doing openly

Prohibition has at least demonstrated the impossibility of
talking anything to death.
A writer in Harpers says some cheap sport becomes popular
during each depression. And frequently he gets elected too.
Three sets of quadruplets reported in 1 !:lt should be consol

for which he isn't blamed.

HOW MICH OT VOi n
A 12-year-old boy bopped on his
hieyele and followed the fire en
gine up the sirect. The fire chief!
car ciime along after the engine
and in attempting to dodg the
boy nn the biket
knocked him off
the wheel. The
boy's head struck
the pave nrmt
with tremendous
impact, and biA
skull cap w a n
split off c o m
pletely, Wo hur
ried him to the
hospital and re
placed poAtion.4
of tin- cerebrum and stitched up
the meningeal -membrane and cov
ered the brain with the skull cap.
The boy talked with us (mite ra
tionally white we worn at work.
He felt no' pain from the sthehing
and neces.siiry manipulation of the
damaged brain tissues and skull.
The brain itself has no' e-ensaiion
lo pain. 'Neither has any other
Intermit organ. The pain of ap
pendicitis, for Instance, l.i not in
the appendix at all. It is in the
branches of spinal nerves in the
belly, the abdominal wall. Once
through the skin and hody wall,
you can cut and sew without giv
ing the patient any pain, provided
you avoid rough handling, tension
or stretching of the tissues or
bruising or injury. These latter
stimuli cause no pain, but they nre
likely to product serious t41unk.
The absence of pain sense in in
ternal organs explains how sur
geons can accomplish so much un
der local anesthesia they have
only to benumb the sensitive
nerves of skin and body wall, and
to use all gentleness and care in
the manipulation of the internal
structures on which they are work
ing. Aside from the fact that the boy
felt no pain from the surgical
ttvniment (and be had no anes

i cerebral hemisphere may be re
moved without disturbance of
mentality; thU has been done re
peatedly for the removal of large
brain tumor.
Moth right and left frontal lobes
of the brain may be removed with
out disturbing the patient's men
tality. The patient remains per
fectly oriented a to time, place
and person; the memory is unim
paired; reading, writing and math
ematical calculation are still done
accurately; conversation is normal.
In other cases the left occipital
I lobe and the lower third of the
I left temporal lobe have been re
moved without apparent effect on
mentality.
The intellect, therefore, is seat
ed somewhere In the remaining
portion of the left cerebral hemis
phere and is probably closely as
sociated with fchc speech mechan
ism center.
l.igallon (tying off) tho anterior
cerebral nrtury on the left side
destroys consciousness; ligation of
the same artery on the right side
has no such effect.
The Impunity with which large
portions of the cerebrum may be
destroyed or removed will suggest
different ideas to different people.
To my mind it nugqests the physi
ological truth I have often tried
to tell here, namely, that there is
no such thing as nerve enengy,
brain "power" or "exhaustion" of
either.
The functioning of brain or
nerves involves no more expendi
ture of energy. Indeed rather loss,
according to scientific metabolism
tests, than does the functioning of
tho skin or the stomach.

Calcium Sulphide.
Would it be advisable to give my

would you suggest as a preventive?

Is harmless enough, but 1 doubt
thai it prevents nny infection The

to keep the rhild away from per

ports to be a "cold." To the best
of our knowlpjfo the virus of in
fantile paralyss is spread in the

Thu e;nicnj evidence seems lo
show thnt infantile paralysis is
communicable in tfte early stage
when the victim first feels or
shows flight symptoms of indis
position, and continues to be com
municable for not longer than 10
days to two weeks. It is no longer
communicable after the paralysis
dovelops. 'Practically the. disease

Answer. If she is your daugh

description of the child as "a girl."
If you took the right attitude you
would call her "my girl" or "my

NO CONNECTION
. By Alice Judson Peale
t Jolin, uged three, had refused to
coihe in'for lunch when his mother
called him- . Instead he had .run
laughing down the street.
That evening when father came
home he walked into tho living
I room where John was playing with
I his trains.
"lour mother torn me about you,
and I um tfoing to give you some
thing to make you remember never
to do a thing like that again," he
said. Without further explanation
he picked the boy up and spnnlced
him soundly.
Later, as his mother was putting
John to bed, she said: "You nre
never going to be a naughty boy
again, are you? You know what
will happen, don't you?"
"Yes, I mustn't piny with my
trains or father will spank me."
With young children the connec
tion between the misdeed and the
punishment is entirely lost unless
the punishment follows directly
upon the wrongdoing.
The value of any sort of punish
ment Is often questionable, but it
is certain to be futile unless the
child understands clearly why he
is being punished. Otherwise he is
apt to think he is being punished
for whatever he was doing at the
moment when the punishment de
scended. Frequently, to, tha punishment,
especially when it takes the form
af a spanking, Is so exciting that
it blots out memory of whatever
came before it. Feelings of hurt,
delinnce nnd anger completely ab
sorb him.
If your child hns done something
which must be punished, be sure
that he understands exactly why he
is being punished, and that the
punishment Is not so severe ns to
make him forget its cause.

Novv the tqacberr in theschool
up in the air was having th; pupils
hand in their arithmetic Iessdns"H
was very m u c n i
the same : sort of
n r I t h metic John I
was now studying e
in school except '
the examples were
worded quite dif
ferently. "If a man bad n
six planes to sell ?
and nnother man
bad one -dirigible B
and the man with I
the six planes val
ued each of his "
planes at five hundred dollnr
Such were the way all iihe exam
pies startetl, using planes and' dir
igibles and such objects instenjd of
oats, conl nnd some of the Avords
they used in John's book. -
They played a marvelous arith
metic game after they hnd handed
in their lessons, getting up in their
planes and acting out the sums the
teacher had given them before
they started.
Two planes would fly along to
gether nnd then one woutd go be
neath these two and still 'another
would go beneath this one. This
meant that if one plane was sub
tracted from two planes it left ono
plane.
Of course, they did much harder
sums than this but this was the
way in which they did It.
And their plane formation was
simply marvelous. They could
pilot planes ns well as John could
manage his little wagon which ho
ran by means of pedals and steered .
by means of a wheel.
Then they did some coasting and
some looping and the Little Black
Clock said: . .. .
"They're having (recess now. As
soon as they finished their ums
and their flying formntlona they
were told they could' play." :
"I guess they'd think we were no
good at nt! if they knew I couUln't
fly a nlane nnd I couldn't spell n
word In the air. or anything Jjke
that." John remarked.
"Don't worry." said the Tattle
Ulaek Clock. "When they come
bar to the landing place ask them
if they can play ball."
"sbill l?' asked John, eaqerly.
"They're coming brick now,'
was the Chirk s answer. o
