IT IS gratifying to note tlmt Oregon in comparatively free
from abuHCM of the third degree.
The third degree, lius no proper place in a civilized com
munity. Nor haa the stool pigeon- method, trying to make
a record of crime detection by -inciting it. ''
Doth procedures should be wiped- off tho slutc, by the force
of an outraged public opinion.
The police have but one job, to detect crime, and to arrest
criminals. The matter of determining guilt rests not with the
police, but with tin) courts. The crime wave is serious enough
as it is, without sending out paid provocateurs, to increase it.
, The Wiekershum commission report was a disappointment
as fur as prohibition was concerned, although there is reason
to believe those who criticix-ed it most severely never took the
trouble to read it.
i But in other directions the commissions findings promise
to be of genuine value in eliminating the most flagrant abuses
of criminal procedure and improving our system of reforma
tion and punishment.

The radical drys, will blume it on the iniquitous bootleg

to observe the prohibition law. . .
. A certain' umouiit of truth ,liofiloubt in both 'contentions.
Hut. tho" longer thq interminable wet-dry argument continue
the clearer it becomes that any sort of agreement is impossible.
The Wiekersham report, referred to above, was generally
ridiculed and condemned, because it failed to point to any def
inite solution of tho problem and,' as far as the members were
concerned, demonstrated that on no single point could the mem
bers agree.
But what other outcome could hove been expected? Where
there is no unanimity of opinion. among tliQ people, how could
unanimity ho expected in a commission representing them! '
ANOTHER EFFORT FOR UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
SO.MK time ago it occurred to Professor Zachrison, of Upsala
University, that if English could bo shorn of its difficulties
it would be the ideal international tongue. Though we dp not
always realize it ourselves,' our language, as it stands, presents
extraordinary difficulties to foreigners. Take our spelling, for
instance: ough represents five different sounds 'in cougli,
rough, plough, though, through. ' Sometimes 'wo spell words
differently and pronounce them alike, as, for example, pear,
pare, pair; sometimes, again, we spell them in the same way
but have different pronunciations according to the meniiing, as
in tear. -' '''-''".'' : i' ' '
, Simplify ifs spelling and the worst drawback to English
is at once removed. Our grammar is much more simple than
that of all, otiantuajr ihtf ttpQikvtt, for instance,.., are
comniou-HCiiSQ. M'on are masciiliue, women i emiiiine, and things
neuter. In (ionium, a tom-cat is feminine and a woman neuter;
in French a sentry and o recruit arc . both for somo queer
reason assigned to tho feminine gender I
: . ' 1
OROFESSOR Zuehrison has given the name Anglic to his
simplified English.5 lie has made the spelling straightfor
ward, the suirto letter or cohihiiwtion of letters always repre
senting the sumo sound. .Having examined English spelling
carefully, the professor found that the long "i'' sound (which
appears with different spellings in words such as eye, erics,
buy, bright, and so on) is most often represented by "ie." In
Anglic, therefore, this sound always, appears us--" it;. " This is
just one example. Trf quote Professor Zaclirisou: "If I write
the next si'iitenuc in Anglic you. will see how it looks, and you
will agree that it is not lit nil difficult to rend." '
Hoer la ae speslmen sentens in Anglic so that yue mae see for
yuerself how slmpl the spellng la and how eeay It la tu reed; ao

In anuther, , T .. .3 . . ,, . - ,
Auglio does not make use of long or complicated sentences.
Simplicity is the keynote not only in spelling but also in gram
mar and const ruction.
Professor Zachrison found that Anglic was mo easy to learn
that students were able to speak it fluently after twenty les
sons of an hour and a half each.
' The success of Anglic should be assured, since English is
already by far the most widely spoken language. It is the
language of the British Isles, of the whole of North America,
of Australia and New Zealand, as well as of large parts of Asia
and Africa. Out of the 1,8IH),(X10,H00 inhabitants of the world,
about 1!00,000,0(IO already speak English twice as many as
use any other language. Ixmtlon Tit-Bits.

TUB I.ONO TRAIN TRIP.

Occasionally It Is necessary to
taks small children on long train
trips ot a day or more. Unless such

to arrive-.at their destination Irri
table, tense and fatigued.
When, not long ago, I took my
small daughter on a five-day train
Journey. I carried a bag ot things to
keep her occupied.
There were several brand new pic
ture and story books, a large blent
pad, stiff construction paper. ecis

home-made cardboard loom and gaily
colored wool for weaving, a box
ot bright beads a blunt needle and

There was a surprise too a small
doll and at those moments when
boredom and Irritability might
otherwise have come to the fore,
some new garment or accessory tor
the doll's wardrobe was produced.
With very little children. It Is
best to have a table set up In the
sleeping car tnstesd ot taking them
into the diner for meals. It the
child Is old snougli to manage him
self neatly at table, breakfast and
lunch may well be taken In the
diner.
The change of scene, the walk
back and forth provide a welcome
diversion. During the dsy. several
walks to the observation car give
a little one much needed exercise.
It Is well to keep the child's diet
severely simple wlth'sn emphasis on
trults and vegetables. Sweets, rlcn
heavy t foods and eating between
meals are apt to be disastrous.

THE PREVENTION OF HEMORRHOIDS
In an earlier talk I explained thatj
plies (hemorrhoids) are varicose veins,
that an' "attack" of piles means acute
Inflamm atlon or
acute pains or acute
bleeding, and that
the subsidence of
this "attack" Is not
the cure of the trou
ble, as too many
IrulUble. hostr-um
; customers evidently
imagine. -.
'. The prevention" lot
this - very common
arid painful condl-
tlon bss two phases.
First, the prevention of the varicose
dilation or enlargement of the Hem
orrhoidal veins. Second, the pre
vention of acute Inflammation, pain
or bleeding -where such a varicosity
Is already present
Today we'll deal only with the
first phase.
'. The .derivation of the term hemor
rhoids is from Greek roots meaning
veins liable to discharge blcod. One
reason why the veins In -this situa
tion are so subject to congestion,
dilation or enlargement and hence
fto- Inflammation and bleeding, is
that they have no valves to relieve
them of the weight of the column
of blood they support while the In
dividual Is In an upright position.
The hemorrhoidal veins drain blood
directly Into the portal vein which
.conveys blood to the liver. Thus any
thing which tends to congest or en
gorge the l(ver predisposes to hemor
rhoids or aggravates the trouble If It
Jji already present. -
! The most direct relief or remedy,
preventive and curative. In any case
Is the .resumption- of the horizontal
-position, or better the so-called knee
cheat position (on ail tours with chest
on the floor and thighs vertical), or
still - better, doing the dachshund
crawl a few times around the room
or the monkey walk It you're too dig
nified to crawl.
. i Hemorrhoids (piles) are merely
varicose veins, subject to the same
complications as may occur in vari
cose veins elsewhere. ' Only more so.
; Piles are by no means so common1
nor so trivial as most people Imagine.
I have pointed out ln'prevlous talks
that In the majority of cases the
patient's own notion- that the trou
ble Is "piles" proves wrong on propar
examination. Pain-, and visible bleed.
Ing are not the only serious effects
or complications of piles. Patients
sometimes suffer grave lmpalrmenf
Of. health from prolonged, slight, un
noticed or internal bleeding, or
chronic focal infections which resist
all remedial measures until the in
fected piles are properly treated.
,1 hate to frghten anybody, but I'd
rather scare everybody than fail to
utter a warning when . warning . Is
needed. Some of the most tragic
coses a doctor has to deal with are
cases ot rectal cancer which have
masqueraded a little too" long as
"piles" because the victims elected
to drift along on such a bad guess.
Here It must be admitted that some
physicians -are culpable because they
shamelessly quack It when the too
trusting patient offers the ready made
diagnosis of "plies." instead of mak
ing a proper examination and de
termining the real nature of the
trouble and the right advice and
treatment . to give. '.
. Probably our unhygienic customs of
dressing is a factor of hemorrhoids,,
particularly the wearing of excessive
clothing. .. , ..
It Is not merely sedentary' habit,
but the neglect of suitable dally ex
ercise that makes folk who dodge
work so susceptible to piles. Per
haps the best of .all dally exercises
for the prevention and relief of piles
Is' walking ibriskly, not sauntering or
dragging along, but stepping out as
though you were In training tor somo
