WHY CONTRIBUTE
w
II HX cx-Prcsiilciit Coulidgf.!, Al Smith mid J'roiitlcnt Hoo
ver agree upon a policy
Last nitilit over tlie radio, tliese three mVii spoke in favor id'
the Hed Cross relief fund and iiKiiinst the proposal of Congress
to supply the money from the national treasury.
It will be interest in); to see how this broadside over the air
will affect contributions to the Hed Cross, and what the con
gressional reaction to it will be.
As was pointed out, President Hoover's plan has the advan
tage of sustaining the well established. American tradition of
voluntary relief in times of national disaster; it prevents excell
ing the national budget, and incurring a deficit; it places the
financial burden of relief upon those best able and therefore
most willing to bear it; aiul it eliminates increasing the finan
fial obligation, by interest charges, which the congressional
plan would involve.
IX SHORT, the President's policy is the right policy, the states-
manlike policy, and the olicy of Congress isn't, lint in tli'J
midst of a business depression with the American people us a
whole short of cash mid fearful of the future, the congressional
plan represents the "easiest way" and the administration plan
the way that is most difficult.
The administration's plan is further handicapped by the fact
that, while the present economic and agricultural conditions in
certain sections represent a genuine disaster, there is nothing
spectaicular about it, no outstanding catastrophe to dramiitijic
it in the public mind, and therefore no overwhelming public sen
timent to support the lied Cross appeal.
In other words, it is an old story, only another phase of the
never-ending struggle between wise statesmanship and practical
polities.
IT WAS a shrewd move by President Hoover when he invited
ex-fiovernor Smith to assist in the Ki'd Cross drive, and it is
greatly to (he latter gentleman's credit that he accepted, thus
demons! rating his willingness to abandon publics anil join with
the man who defeated him, in an effort to relieve human .suffer
ing and promote, the public welfare.
Whether the President or Congress will win, now rests with
the American people.
The citizen wdio, without further solicitation, contributes to
the Red Cross fund, will not only have the satisfaction of doing
his bit. for the relief of human suffering; but also the satisfac
tion of upholding the President of the I'nitcd Stales in a policy
that is essentially right, as opposed to one that ISN'T.
OREGON PRODUCES A REAL BOOK
X Til CAN' riKommend to everyone in Southern Oregon, par
ticularly the old timers, a book by Anne Shannon .Mon-j
roe of Portland, entitled "Fcelin' Fine." j
"Feelin' Fine" is a character sketch of l'!ill Hanley, known
to everyone in Oregon, and a picturcsiue figure throughout the
nation; told, so to speak, in Mill's own words.
After reading it one's admiration is almost equally divided
between the subject of the book and the authoress. For "Feel
in' Fine" is tin exceptionally fine bit of work, a biography that,
we believe deserves a pennniicnt place in our western literature
SUCH a book could so easily have been spoiled by the intru

True, the remarkable reduction
In the diphtheria rate among chil
dren in certain places where toxin-antitoxin
Immunization has
heen thoroughly carried on, may
bo Just coincidence. But 1 prefer
not to place much credence In the
idle, "claim" ot tho unidentified
doctor that nine out of ten diph
theria cases ho has seen In six
months were In children who had
been immunized hy the TAT un
less the doctor in question is pre
pared to confess that ho has failed
to report his diphtheria cases to
the health department as required
by the law. Indeed, I suspect tho
doctor In question is not a legally
qualified physician, but some kind
of illicit fad healer.

Ql'KSTlOXS AND AXSWKllS
Sleep Itn lions Dcpcmt
Is there such a thing as a per
son getting' too much sleep? I get
lots of sleep every night, yet I urn
sleepy and tired all day. Perhaps
I need a vueation, but that la im
possible at present. 1 thought if
I were to sleep less nights I might
feel peppier and wider awake In
the daytime . . (Sleepy Head).
Answer Yes, but I am unable
to advise without knowing your
age. occupation and general mode
of life. Sleep ration varies with
these factors. Perhaps you aro a.
hit "stale'' from want of lodin.
Stuttering
What causes stuttering? Is there
any cure? (S. M.) , , '
Answer Send stamped envelope
bearing your address and mention
your trouble. One causo is, in
my opinion, artificial or compul
sory change from natural left
handedness to right-handedness in
early childhood. Suitablo vocal
und oral exercise will help to cor
rect the trouble.
Needs I tegular Morning: Itolls,
Yv"hut causo bloodshot eyes? My
eyes becomo bloodshot every time

Answer. Poor tone In blood

of rolling half a dozen , somer

Hooks, Magazines, Newspapers
How much danger Is there of
infection when a person reading
a paper or book sneezes or coughs
upon the reading material, and
then someone else takes tho paper
or book to read? (Disturbed.)
Answer Absolutely none. If
there were such danger public wel
fare would demand the immedi
ate closing of all public libraries.
There is no reason to imagine
that any disease Is ever spreud
hy the common use of .hooks,
magazines, newspapers, tickets,
paper or metal money, or other
such mediums. It is unfortunate
that the persons in charge of li
braries sometimes made a to-do
about "fumigating" or "disinfect
ing" the books, or make silly rules
restricting tho borrowing of books
by people who happen to havo in
fectious disease.
Vagotonia.
Wy am I always bothered with
an excess of saliva? (Miss U. M.)
Answer Putting on my clair
voyant spectacles, I see a skinny
young lady with wide glistening
eyes, cold hands hut warm heart,
slow pulse and acid stomach; In
short a .vagotonic type. Ask your
doctor what vagotonia means and

TAUI.KS TrilNXOI)
(ly Alice Judson Peule)
Punishment fy commonly con
sidered us tho special privilege, of
parents. Many of us uro unawaro
of how frequently the tables nre
turned, and thb children do the
punishing.
Sometimes they do it In open
revenge, but more often they are
entirely unconscious of their mot
ives. Much of the soldiering over
such routine procedures as wnsh
lng and dressing, putting away of
toys and clothes, is caused by tho
child's desiro "to get even" with
his parents for their excessive de
mands, A boy who had just been for
bidden to go out to play knocked
over his mother's favorite vaso In
passing. Perhaps it was an acci
dent. Perhaps not. Certainly it
would have been only human, if
in his rage at what seemed to
him an unreasonable frustration,
ho had impetuously availed him-"
self of tho handiest means of pun
ishing tho person rcsponbilo for
his disappointment.
A little girl, whose very net and
word was tho subject of family
discussion, approval or reproof,
avenged herself in another way.
She had shown such special apti
tude fur dancing that she was
given lessons and there was much
talk of hei: remarkable progress.
Apparently, however, sho no
sooner became aware of (ho sat
isfaction, which she was causing
her elders, than she found all
sorts of excuses for nut going to
her lessons. Her teacher finally
elicited from her the explanation,
"1 don't want to learn to dance
any mure, just becausu my mother
thinks it s so grand."
It is sometimes wholesome to
consider whether our own behav
ior has not merited such reprisals
and to mend our own ways be
fore wo try to correct those of tho
child.
