Politics, whloft . has been loafing around the Orange halls for the post nine months, has evidently returned to the old, stamping grounds, viz: the pulpits.

(AP) At least 13 deaths am reported as a result of storms which havs spread havoc round the English coast. In the bungalow town of Wln chltaea Beach, Sussex, donna ot houses have been submerged by waves which swept over the sea defences Into lowlylng marshland A Crazy Idea ' I "HE city ordinance permitting only illuminated si(;ns in Med- ford, offered at the city council meeting hint night, is an example of the American mania for pasning new lawH, which has become a national obsession. Every time a man gets a new idea he immediately wants a law passed to make it effective. The statute books of this state and every other have as a result become jammed and cluttered, with a mass of of half-baked and senseless provisions, which soon become dead letters, or pause so much annoyance that they ore quickly repealed., This absurd practice has been an. im portant factor in engendering the prevailing disrespect for all laws, which is a serious political evil.: , . ILLUMINATED signs' are-desirable and decorative, and be- cause of their greater effectiveness, are rapidly running out the old-fashioned,' non-illuminated type. Hut granting the inferiority of non-illuminated, hand painted signs,, is ONE THINO, passing a law to 'prevent any individual from-having' such a sign if lie wants one in QUITE ANOTHER! If those' who manufacture or handle illuminated signs, in spired this ordinance to aid their business, then they made a serious error in judgment. For the best way to arouse hos tility toward any article is to try .to force people to purchase it. People don't like to be forced to do anything particularly in the line of merchandising. The Rpirit of such an ordinance would not only be un American, but it would destroy the most valuable asset any business can have, namely, pub'e good will. -ffl 0 e NO LAW is needed to inoreW the use of illuminated signs, or decrease the use of non-illuminated ones. The intrinsic superiority of the former article,' in the free 'atmosphcre of normal competition, would attend to that. '.. The ordinance should bo thrown into the scrap heap where it belongs. There is no more excuse for compelling people to purchase a certain type of sign than a certain type of automo bile or suit of clothes. That such an ordinance could be seriously considered merely shows how far the mania for passing more ,1a ws, has carried the American people, beyond the boundaries of reason and common sense. ' t. They Better Keep Still WE ARE favored with a communication from the Demo cratic National committee lambasting President Hoover, because in 1929, he didn't warn the American people that unless they stopped dabbling in Wall Street stocks they were riding to a fall. s ' ' V The writer even intimates that had, the President done, his duty, the panic of 19U0 would have been averted. ! , All of which coming from such a Source is decidedly amus ing. For unless we are greatly mistaken Honorable John J. Raskob was chairman of the Democratic! National committee, n thutUimo. ,', . ! ', , J'eriiaps President Hoover wasn't as emphatic in his warm ing as he might have been, but. Jiis Secretary of the Treasury DID advise the people to stop buying stocks and buy bonds, and the Federal Reserve did EVERYTHING IT COULD, to dis eourago the mad danoo of unthinkmg speculation. ' ' . , . . And whatever the President did or didn't do, ho never came out urging the American women to manipulate their household 'budgets, so funds would bo available for investment in com mon stocks, '.' ; '. . ! ; v , Hut THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT JOHN J. RASKOH DID. In August; 192!), about two months before the craslr, Mr. Raskob, in th Ladies' Homo Journal, editorially blurbed as "ono of the master minds of American business," advised the housewives of this country, to save on their egg and vegetable money, out down here and save there, and shoot the cash to their nearest broker, for somo of the blue-chip stocks. e THE article caused quite a sensation at the time. Had it conic from the biggest professional bull on the stock exchange, it could scarcely have been more provocative and extreme. There is no telling how miveh "bread and butter'' money went into stocks but undoubtedly a great deal. And till days Inter the blow had fallen, and these- savings from the family budgets were wiped out. e .. . THOSE who live in glass houses should not throw stones. As long as Mr. Raskob is high in the councils of the Demo cratic party, the less the Democratic press agents say about stock speculation in 1029, the better.

THE KlfKKP AXP THE GOATS Recently -we were kind enough to divide mankind into two types or clashes According to the predomin ance of tissues derived from dif ferent embryonal teat some of us are hypere and some are hypos. But our custom ers were not sat isfied with this, so we had an other try at It later and divided everybody accord ing to the predominence of the sym pathetic or the vagus portions of the autonomic nervous system into vags and symps, and even that failed to satisfy everybody. So today I'm go Ing to, try once more and see If we can't effect a (final separation of the sheep from the goats, or vice versa. This split is determined by the func tional behavior of the ductless glands, namely, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary. parathyroid, thymus, islands of Lan- gerhans In the pancreas (which se crete .Insulin), and the so-called ' In terstltal" cells of the male sex gland and corpora lutea of the female Bex gland. All these glands of Internal Becreticn (hormones) are intimately if not wholly under the Influence of the sympathetic portion of the auto nomic or involuntary nervous sysr tern. The (functions of these glands of Internal secretion are Important factors in general nutrition, growth ot stature and development of body and mind. Not only individual but racial characteristics depend on the ductless glands. Tor Instance, over-secretion of the pituitary gland at-the ' base of the brain produces glantlBm or acroma galy, In which state the brow ridges and lower Jaw are particularly prom inent and the nose large. Some such characteristics distinguish the Cau casian from the Mongol. Typical Americans have prominent or posi tive china, almost prognathous, and fairly large stature. We're a pituitary race. Pituitary, thymus and thyroid are concerned In the growth 'of the young. Functional deficiencies of these en docrine secretions are accountable for most deficiencies In growth. In some cases remarkable Increase in the growth of a child have been brought about by the prolonged administra tion of suitable hormones. This Is a question Which only the physician can consider In a given case. - (It Is a waste of gocd postage to ask the author for further particulars about this.), V Fat folks ere proverbially good na-tured- It Is Just as true that a hiber nating bear seldom pick a quarrel with a hyena. 4Fat folks don't bite because they lack the ambition or in ternal stimulus to work the temporal lavers BV this mwwr muwiei iwr any uinict- tZt jinmftr i.. essary purpose. In-many 'cases the same thing that makes them accum ulate superfluous flesh also makes them complacent and dull or drowsy hypothyroidism. , As yet we know very little about the physiological or normal correla tion cf these ductless gland functions, but we do know that the thyroid se cretlon exerts some regulation on the adrenal glands, and the adrenal se cretion in turn has some influence on the pituitary glands. At any rate no one today can diagnose with any degree of exactness vhich ductless gland hormone or extract' or which combination of them a given patient may need. This question demands all the skill and personal study of the case a good doctor can offer, Ql'ESTIOVH AND ANSWERS The Big Clinic Racket. I wrote my symptoms some time ago to the clinic, and Dr. wrote In reply saying he thought I had vascomotor rhinitis and said my doctor should try 20 per cent silver nitrate. It did not help at 13 per cent and so prostrated me fhat my doctor refused to use it any stronger V . . Mrs. B. A. E. - ;- Answer The fact that the doctor works for the big clinic doesniVt make him any better at long distance diag nosis. You should have a proper nose and throat examinations -and let. the physician treat you according to the condition the examination reveals, li you prefer to go It blind, It will at least do you no harm to take a course of calcium lactate say 10 grains two or three times a day, preferably an hour after meals and with a good drink of water, for a period of eight or ten weeks, twice each year. Along' with this it 1s well to expose your body to direct sunlight as much as possible, short of sunburn. Dentist Admires Nature's Work. Recently I had my teeth examined by the family dentist. He told me they are in excellent condition, and complimented me on how well cared for they are. ' He said they showed the benefit of persistent and regular use of. the toothbrush. As a matter of fact, I had not used a toothbrush in two years. S. T. Answer Oh, well, even a dentist slips occasionally. But don't cheer, boys. A lot of easy-going old fossils will go on brushing their teeth relig iously to the bitter end. I (Copyright John P. Dille Co.)

Bv Alle Jiidson Veale ' iWhen, Teddy's, first lotter came from .- camp his mother was sure that his going had been a mistake for Jt waa evident that his heart was breaking. ' His letter was one long expression of loneliness, fear, homesickness. The Ink was blurred In several places where teare had fallen. v The letter came at three In the afternoon. By five, his mother was on a train bound for camp and the rescue of her darling. She ar rived at two In the morning and only with difficulty was restrained irom waking him out of a sound sleep. When finally after breakfast ahe saw him. he was playing ball with three other boys. She had fully ex pected to find him looking wan and miserable. Instead he was as happy as she had ever seen him and in the very pink of condition. Catching sight of her. he called to her cheerily and went on with the game. Only when It was over did he come and kiss her. In the Interval, she had time to revise her plans. On her way home a few hours later, she reflected that even a dramatic attack of home sickness Is not always sufficient evi dence to prove that on the whole a child Is not having the time of his life. Almost any child who has never been away from home Is llkoly to suffer from spasms of loneliness, but a homesick letter needs to be checked with a good deal more evi dence before we can be sure that the child Is really unhappy. Learning to be happy away from home Is a great step In the child's development, and It would be strange if thlii could be accomplished with out fit least a few growing pains.
