Hlun 1h depressing unly to the. very rich, who can stand it. ami the extremely poor, who woulil not know what to do with money if they had liny. In tlic ense of the writer, ull the depression does, is to cause Ills everlasting anl con founded poverty to protrude a littlo further, und more painfully. than in the Rood years. The Wh'kcrshum report on pro hibitlon, which is as clear to the musses us if it had been written by I'rof. Kinstein, has caused many to revive the fear they cuddled when Al Smith was running for president, viz: that the saloon, which nevor went away, will conic back.

OF A Mi THIXfiS , (Portland TcU-grnin) I am a girl in my teens. I lovo a young man two years )ny ponlor.

Life of nullify, but sin- tasted of only the doomed may know. Xow slie is dead and done with it all at a time when she might have been happier than ever and more famous than she dreamed. This country was more than ordinarily fond of her, for Alma was an artist of motion pic tures. And so you fall to thinking. Why couldn't she have been one trf the teh.'ii'acters she drew and not poor Alma Hubens? They singe their wings in Hollywood; make no mistake of it. Sometimes they don't, but all too often they do. The tempera ment that lifts tltein into artistry betrays them inlo torment. Of a sudden life is alike too generous and too exacting. and they so very young. It was that way with Wallaee Keid, who was beloved of the public as greatly as was Alma Kubens. And the lights falter and the curtain falls. You think of them, somehow, as of children for whom yon have felt fondness, and whose fate was pit il'ul. There, must be another way. There must be some way to leaeh the children of Hollywood how to live sanely, how to meet their responsibilities honorably, how to overcome the handicap of too much money and fame and work. There must be Nome way. Itut nobody seems to have thought of it, anil they them selves give no thought lo it until they are trapped. It is an American tragedy; and we who watch it make gossip of it. An inordinate price lo pay for entertainment, on our part, and a cruel bargain to make for fame on theirs. What's fame to Wally Moid and Alma KubciiH now? All the pictures that they might have made, the pictures of which they dreamed and for which we waited where are these!? Oregonian. HELPING WOMEN PVKRYOXE interested in making America a better place to - live in should welcome, the news that the Senate has passed the Jones bill, which is in substance the old Sheppard-Towner act for eo-operation between the states and the federal govern ment in reducing infant and maternal mortality. The govern ment would appropriate $1,(Mi0,0(H) annually to be used in this way. Opponents of the bill have advanced many nrguinents against it, but. they have never been able to explain away the drop in the death rates which occurred when the Sheppard Towner net was in effect. The Jones bill is in one respect better than the old Jones law, in that it is not limited to a definite period, and would therefore continue in effect until repealed. The measure now goes to the House, where it has n good change of passage, with the prob ability that in conference it will be combined with the measure giving similar aid, in increasing annual amounts up to a maxi mum of $:,(!( 10,0(10, for promoting health in rural districts. We are glad lo report that if also seems probable that the work in regard to infancy and maternity will continue to be done under tin; able direction of Miss (irace Abbott through the Children's Hurcati of the Department of Labor. The Xew Republic. TIME TO F OW 'joust ruclioii costs utako time to start building homes, struetures, a nation-wide survey by American Huilder and Build ing Age, contractors' magazine, reveals. fCosts are down from 10 to HO per eent in praetieally every part of the United Stales, and average M per eent lower than last year. Indications are that they have reached button.. The magazine mentioned is eondueting a drive to get eon- traetors and builders started on ing people to take advantage of the existing unusually favorable conditions for building, and publishes in its February issue articles from several leaders of the building industry. "Ijiibor today is at a peak of effieieiivy ; material prices are low, and these two important faetors should prove an eeonomie incentive for persons to build now," is the summary of condi tions by Oscar W. Hosenthal of nois Ituilding League. "A-mmncrriiil building eonstrui'tiou costs are iL'jj per eent below ll,-J7; residence costs l." per eent be low.

Dr. William Weston, chuirman of the section on diseases of chil dren, r-afd In an address before the liiHt annual' convention of tho national medical association that oranges and to miilucs or their juices are about euunl in their Vllamln .C value (that Ik the vita min which pre- iu lllll that louuuocH have slightly greater Vitamin A nnd Vitamin li values; than orangey have. This should be reassuring to people who find It difficult to get fresh orange Juice for the baby, for tomato Juice is nulto s valuable in In fant feeding. This noted authority further asserted that both -tomatoes and oranges have greater vitamin val ues when allowed to ripen on vine or tree than they have when artificially ripened by ethylene linn or by exposure to air and sunlluht. Finullv lr. Weston, who hails from Columbia, S. t. called at tention to tho large amount of food lodin in tomatoes grown hi South Carolina and compared them with oniugcs in this and other respects. He had no diitu on the lodin content of oranges grown In California, but he believed It It he low. as It ha hern Invar iably found to be in other toeds grown In California. Here is the way Ir. Weston compared tomatoes and ornngen: The table shows parts per mil lion of lodin. Iron, manganese and copper, respectively: sua Cal oranges "rt-5 "' 4.75 S. C. Toms. lOli.fi ltiu.0 26.7 !'. Whether oranges aro very low in lodin content or not. they are less than half as rich In iron as tomatoes. I I have heard people solemnly assert that they liked tomatoes.

Dr. Weston took one moro wick ed wallop at the golden west be fore he left the subject of toma toes and oranges. He declared that infants can take a larger quantity of- tomato juice than thoy can of orange juice, fresh or can ned, without manifesting ill ef fects. Wo need not compare tomatoes anil oranges In their alkalizing effects, but if one likes tomatoes and eats them freely there is no other Item of diet superior hi preventing acidosis. . i:STIONS AN1 ANSWKKS Young Doctor looks Ahead.

Answer I don't know about the machines, son. but anyway, that Is a minor matter. The Im portant thing is to learn the tech nic. I should be glad to puggest a skilled man to teach you the technic nnd he will advise you about the apparatus. I think you aro wise to prepare yourself to give patients this modern treat ment, as it Is unquestionably the method of choice.

Tho near-doctors, shortcut heal theers and street corner 4pcciat ints may feel that their customers should eat a bale of hay or im bibe alfalfa tea, but joking aside there is no reason why any one who eats ordinary everyday vic tuals should require silicon, cal cium or alfalfa vitamins.

Dillo Co.) parent Cl'RIVG BAD IHBITS By Alice Jndson Feale. The easiest and most natural thing to do when a child does something you don't want him to Is simply to tell him to stop do in It. Unfortunately this method, by Itself, In bound to bo Ineffective. Suppose your child Is in the habit jof helping hinwelf to any candy ho finds laying about the living room. The easiest and most effective way of stopping him is to remove tho candy. - Whenever tho-. situation may be thus aimply solved, it is much tho best way. We need not be afraid that In making it eay for the child to be good we ar depriving him of nec essary disciptlno. Kvcry child him plenty of adjustments to make. The entire process of growing up demands of him constant sacrifices of Instinctive pleasures. Where It Is not possible to 'ro move temptation entirely, as in the cade of a child who insists upon lilting his nails, we can-at least help him by manicuring them. Having dono this, w can direct him to some other aatlvtty when ever wo see fingers go Into his mouth. Furnishing tho child with a de sirable activity In place of an un desirable one is a fundamental principle of nil child training. If your child likes to mark up the wulls with his crayons, give him large pieces of paper to mark up instead. In finding good fiubstpute activ ities for bad ones It is well Wher ever possible to offer him some ting which will give him as nearly as possible the same pleasure. Don't take away the hammer from the child who is pounding the fur niture and ank him to play with his kiddy kar. flive him instead a block of wood or an old box which he may pound with Impunity.
