Tha state it now threatened with a
special teuton ot the legislature. This
would be not hi n 8 short of a major
calamity, and unnecessarily aggra
vate the present distress. The only
Justification whatsoever for the as
sembling of the august and ptnhead-
ed body, would be for the enactment
of a measure abolishing themselves.
If In a sane moment they did. the
step would be unconstitutional, as
self preservation Is the first law of
nature. The last session all but
ruined the state, by Its brilliant In
fliction of the law reducing the de
linquent tax penalty from 13 to 8
per cent. Maybe, at a special session,
Idtotlo action to complete the Job
could be thought up.

SUCH CAUTIOUSNESS
(Sat. Eve. Post)
Onoe In a crisis when Vie peo
pie were clamoring for work from
on high, James SMIlman and
Henry Clay Frlck got together
and solemnly Issued a signed
statement which read: "The U. 8.
A. is a great and growing coun
try." But then, fearing that
they had disclosed too much,
they added: "This Is confidential
and not for publication unless
names are omitted."
The favorita democratic wise-crack
for 16 months, has been the allega
tion that while driving down the
highways they saw a hitch-hiker
with this sign on his back: "Don't
pick me up. I voted for Hoover.

Editorial Correspondence
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 10
Dear old Victoria I "What place
in the world h more appropri
ately named? Victoria pure,
unadulterated early Victorian
a little bit of "Old English"
tucked away on an island 6000
miles from home!
Since our last visit Seattle
and Vancouver have changed
tremendously both bustling
commercial centers with minia
ture New York sky lines but
Victoria JUST THE SAME.
The Empress hotel and the par
liament buildings still hold
their imposing planes at the
head of the procession, with
Government Btreet meandering
up the hill, with its more or
less dingy buildings, precisely
at of yore. There are a few
more "ritzy" chinaware and
antique shops than there were
16 years ago, but "Wilson's,
Campbell's and Rogers' candy
shop just the same.
"Oharm," that lsVlctorla'B middle
name. And It Is an old fashioned
oharm, a charm of peace and con
tentment, not of old lace and laven
derthat's too literary and American
but of cob-webbed port and candle
light and old silver and Chippen
dale. As a result Victoria Is to our
mind the beat place on the coast to
spend a vacatlon,--certatnly a sum
mer vacation, perhaps a winter one.
For a vacation should represent a
change, and Victoria Is ALL CHANGE
absolutely different.
We are at last convinced that this
Prince s v a s t 1 Is "following us
around." He took the table opposite
on the Cascade diner; then one of
his luggege trucks nearly ran us
down on the C. P. tt. wharf, and yes
terday the old boy bobbed up In the
lobby of this hotel. We tried to es
cape by taking a bus out to the horse
races at Col wood, and then In the
crowd after the big race, who should
Jostle us on the elbow but the Prince
again. The same the Prince and his
son, Prince Arjuna,
Wethink we know why. ' It's the
subtle afrinlty between Important
newspaper men. Prince Svastl la an
editor, to of the Bangkok Bugle, or
something of that sort. We almost
asked him why he was pursuing the
Medford editor, but didn't quite have
the nerve. For his Highness was
accompanied by his court chamber
lain, "Phra Naravaj," and we feared
Phra might knock us over the head
with the pronged elephant cane he
carried. But Arjuna is different; he's
'Just a kid a sophomore at Tale
so when he 'dropped back, we asked
htm bow he liked the races -(a
very original thought) and Arjuna
said, "Very nice" and smiled. It was
an odd smile no mirth In It we
have an Idea the Prince thought the
races rotten, which wsa our opinion
also. We learned also that papa Is a
newspaper editor and remembers that

AIR DEL1VFRIX9
By Mary Graham Bonner.
Peggy and John were thrilled rid
ing along with the milk plane which
was carrying the milk to all the air
hotels and a t r
schools and
other air places.
They did not
think they had
eer enjoyed any
of the trips when
the Clock had
turned the time
ahead more than
this.
They loved
having the Lit
tle Black Clock
with them at all
times, for hj ex
plained everything to them, but it
was rather Jolly when he let them
go off by themsetvt.
The plane flsw along very rapidly
and even once In a while tt stopped.
The man In charge of the deliv
eries pulled a lever and a certain
number of bottles and tubes were
lifted up from the plane and land's!
upon an air platform. After mak
ing that delivery they flew on to
matte the next.
How different thle was from the
old days of milk trains and great
cans of milk waiting outside on
wooden stands In front of farm
houses! Just traveling in a milk plane
seemed a strange enough etperlenct,
and after they had finished all their
deliveries and were back at the air
farm once more. John noticed some
thing that made htm laugh.
Painted upon the wings of the
plane were two- pictures one on
each side, and each picture waa that
of a cow.
"Well," he said to Peggy, "doesn't
able young man. but ws fear If we
said any more there might be Inter
national complications, for we re
marked nothing about quoting his
Highness. We soon got the Impres
sion that, while the young man may
think a great deal of his papa, he
doesn't think so much of the news
paper business and Is going to tske
up "diplomacy" himself.
Tee, the races weren't so good.
There was no atmosphere, and races
NEDD ATMOSPHERE.
In the . fin place ne Col wood
track Is eight miles out In the woods,
among the . fir trees and rocks, the
buildings are all weather beaten and
down at the heel, the club house
might be properly described as Just
a "bar In a barn." The paddock was
a mess of sawdust and unpalnted
fence rails. Finally It was too ob
viously Just a betting stunt. What
crowd there was, was packed around
the betting stalls, and all the an
nouncer did ten minute preceding
each race was to bully the specta
tors Into betting "only three min
utes left to place your bets, only two
minutes; hurry, hurry, or you'll be
locked out havs your change ready,"
eto. and as If this were not enough
they had a bull-necked man weigh
ing about 300 stamping up and down
In front of the mutual stands trying
to herd the people Into the betting
lines as If they were pigs In fact,
the ballyhoo artist did nothing but
swing his arms and use the "Hot, Hoi,
Hoi" of the professional hog caller.
The races weren't so bad, but the
crowd yelled for their tickets rather
than the horses, and the Jockeys
wore dirty uniforms and looked rath
er a tougher lot than the average.
Also there was no pageantry, no roaring-
crowd, no attractive people. All
in all, rather a mess.
. P. 8. to the Astoria Jockey . Club
(Of course we might have enjoyed
the races more had we cashed In a
ticket).
But quite a "cmrunentary there at
Colwood on hard tlmeal There are
40,000 unemployed In B. C, alone, men
and women without enough to eat or
wear, and yet in the big race yester
day and In that comparatively small
crowd, thousands of dollars changed
hands, and the "house" as usual made
the only profit. It's the same all
over the world apparently. Plenty of
people willing to throw money away
If they can get a kick out of It.
The Victoria papers played up the
California golf tournament last night,
listing Chan Egan of Medford among
te winners. No report on Chan In
the "Colonist" this a. m., so called
at the newspaper office for the latest
and was sorry to learn the "grand
old man" (Portland papers please
copy) had succumbed to someone ye
editor never heard of. Too bad,
Hoped Chan would pull a "Oulmet."
'
No news of the U. S. filers due In
Seattle.. Talked with a pilot of one
of the Seattle flying boats here this
morning veteran of the world war.
He said the ship was not fitted for
such an arduous trip, deficient in gas
cspaclty, unequipped with radio. In
his opinion Moyle and Allen never
should have been allowed to make
the attempt. Imagine that's right.
But if they SHOULD still make it
all will be forgotten, and some other
"kids" will be tempted. Nothing suc
ceeds like success, and nothing falls
like failure. R. W. R.
that seem funny I They have milk
planes, and yet they paint pictures
of two old-fashioned oows on the
wings of a plane I"
The man In charge of the deliv
eries explained:
"We want to let everyone In the
air know that our plane Is the milk
plane so that they'll give us the
right of wayl"
Now John and Peggy gar a
thorough look at tbe farm.

REPORTING PROGRESS IN THE
A few weeks ago I confessed here
that I did not know the precise for
mula for the medicine Injected In
the a m u b 1 ant
treatment of her
nia, and I warn
ed readers not to
submit to any
such treatment
with a secret for
mula. I apolo
gized for Intro
ducing the meth
od at all when I
was not aware of
the exact compo
s 1 1 1 o n of the
mediciue injected. You see, I had
been deceived about trat. I relied
upon the unquestionable professional!
standing' of the doctor whose suc
cessful use of this method first came
to my notice. I finally appealed to;
that doctor for the Information, with-1
out which I could not recommend
the treatment to the public. He did
not give me the Information. I don't
know why, but I think he feared I
might broadcast It and so spoil the
market for his course of Instruction
to physicians In the method. But I
have obtained the formula, or rather
a formula which is proving satisfac
tory In the hands of good physicians
I know, and I'll give the formula to
any doctor who asks me for it and
Incloses stamped envelope bearing his
address, . but I'll not give It to any
lay reader. The formula Is very sim
ple any doctor can prepare It him
self or have his pharmacist prepare
tt for him. Nothing secret or pro
proprietary In it. .
Any competent practitioner can give
his patients the advantage of the am
bulant treatment for hernia, at least
In suitable cases. Not that one does
not require Instruction in the technic
on the contrary, such personal In
struction by a physician skilled In
the method Is highly essential but
any physician skilled In the method
will gladly teach his colleagues on
the terms customary for clinical In
struction. The Injection of the medicine Is
only half of the treatment. The skil
ful and painstaking fitting and ad
justment of the truss which must
be worn constantly throughout the
course of Injections is the other half
of the treatment. If this latter part
is slighted or bungled by the doctor,
the attempt bo cure the hernia Is
likely to fail.
No general or local anesthetic is
required. The patient is not detained
from his regular occupation. There
Is no more risk of Infection or other
injury than is concerned with any
hypodermlo injection. Should treat
ment fall to cure the .hernia as It
does In about the same proportion
of cases as in the rndlcal operative
treatment no harm has been done
and there Is no greater difficulty
added in case a second attempt Is
made or tn case the radical operation
la resorted to.
Having observed the ambulant treat
ment In the hands of good general
practitioners, I am happy to say that,
In my Judgment. It will prove as
great a boon to hernia sufferers us
the chemical obliteration treatment
for varicose veins proved for such
sufferers, I fear, however, that the
rank and file of the medical profes
sion will bo even slower to acknowl
edge and adopt this hernia treatment
than the doctora were to accept the
diathermy extirpation of the tonsils.
T repeat. If I had a hernia I should

want to receive this ambulant treat

submit to the radical operation. And
again I regret I am not prepared to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Tennis at Forty.
Does playing tennis hurt me? I am
40 and began playing only this sum
mer. I am In perfect health. A doc
tor who did not examine me said ft
man of 40 should not play such a
game, as It Is a strain on the heart,
. . . B. A. P.
Answer Well, I'd play aa long n
I felt well and enjoyed1 the game.
Private.
C. W. It is impossible to answer
your question here. If you will re
peat the question and Inclose stamp
ed envelope bearing your address, I'll
be glad to answer It privately.
Intoxication.
Is a child conceived while the
father is intoxicated liable to be de
fective?-. H. J.
Answer An Impressive list of in
stances waa reported a few years ago,
in which children conceived while
one or both parent were Intoxicated
were epileptic.
Water.
Is It necessary to drink water, even
though much liquid nourishment
such as milk is taken? My son thinks
that so long aa he drinks a large
quantity of milk every day he does
not need to drink water E. a. McC,
Answer True. Milk Is about
eight-tenths water.
Gritting Teeth at Night.
Son aged 8 and daughter aged S
both grit or grind their teeth In
sleep. Have been told . . . M. v.
Answer Yes, Ben Told always
thlnka so. but in a careful study of
this symptom (grinding or gritting
the teeth in sleep) Drs. Keller, Cas-
parts and Leathers, of Nashville
found that among 167 cases of round
worm Infestation In white and col'
ored children, less than a third pre
sented such a symptom. In 143 chil
dren without worms, virtually the
same proportion presented the symp
tom. So it doesn't mean anything.

MOON OF DELIGHT
CTEVE'S place was cn the road
kJ to New Orleans, at the end of
a long pier. The supper. which was
to have been on the verandah was
laid Id the one great room because
oC the threatening clouds. It was
a room ot maar windows and deep
low window seats.
Almost filling one end was the
cklmney-place where tonight a log
'flre blazed, lighting the room even
without the lanterns that swung
from the beams.
The long table was ranged with
bowls ot crackers and condiments.
Gumbo simmered in the tripod on
the flre, and Steve In the corner
was chopping up a salad of cab
bage and red peppers. Outside the
wind swirled and dashed salt spray
against the windows. Inside it was
glowlng-warm. and filled with the
smell of the gumbi and tbe peppers,
and a surreptitious steamy smell of
oysters and hot bread.
Most of the crowd were there
when Adrian and his group arrived
Bettina Byrnes and Rod Stevens:
a pale girl In gold hoop earrings
and chamois Jumper Emmy Jean,
they called her; Bobby Cransbaw
and Doreen Larkin. a tall athletic
girl in a blue sweater. Emmy Jean
had come with a boy named Berry
wbom Juanita remembered from
the Comus ball. Berry had been a
goblin that night, and for Juanita,
a goblin he would always be.
Phyllis Carver, a vivid blonde,
stood near the fire In a green riding
suit, beside her a man with dark
unhappy eyes, while on a window
seat alone Juantta saw the girl she
had seen twice before once be
side Eric Ledbetter at Dlvitt's, and
again at the Comus ball. All In
black tonight, Juanita knew that
beneath her tight little cloche was
a red, wind-blown bob. She sat
smoking, sleepy-eyed, looking out
on the gray sea.
"Naida, you know Juanita." Bet
tina Byrnes took It for granted they
had met. Naida's smile was sweet
and sleepy.
"I do now," she said, giving Ju
aulta her little hand which crumpled
up afterwards like a tern, and she
went on gazing at the sea, wrapped
In the niidst ot her own smoke. A
ilean chap with glasses whom every
one called Trigger, drifted over to
Naida, being presented to Juanita
on the way.
Laurie Byrnes, twin to Bettina,
came later, a rakish lad in tow. Fitz
gerald his name was. Everybody
received him with joy. He had been
a sultan that night at Comus, and
Juanita had danced with bim. Fits
for Juanita was a sultan still. Rod
Stevens was a pirate. And Bobby
Cranshaw was a tom-cat with a
Ibell. It was too bad. But this was
the masquerade, not Comus.
I Fits turned on the radio, eliciting
thereby such static that a flock of
(banshees might have been passing
,over me nouse. "Kaaio s no good
.tonight," said Steve. "It's goin' to
Jraln."
Steve, fat and round, waited on
hls guests himself, assisted by a
black boy In a white coat, who
stopped now and then to look after
the pot ot drip coffee on the coals,
and who brought them river shimp,
and crab gumbo from the tripod,
while Steve took from the great
bricked-ln ovens at the chimney
sides long pans of pompano and
oysters baked in the shells.
Fits had left the radio on, static
being, be said, so much more spon
taneous than ordinary programs.
The guests were whooping them
selves to be heard above U.
, "Turn It off," said the girl with
the sleepy eyes to Steve, watching
as he obeyed. She smoked nervous-
'ly, jabbing out one cigarette to
light another. Wines had appeared
from somewhere and she began to

Among the surprising thing that
come to llffM through the lncret1
use of mental tets in schools Is the
fvt that the fal!urea are not
altr th dull children.
Frequently, on the contrary, they
am tha brieht ones.
Children hare actually been re
peated failure In the gride In
which the have been placed, al
though capable of doing irork two
grades above It.
Moat commonly, the reason for thts
Is that the child has become bored
with the limited curriculum, and
with the frequent repetitions nect
sary in cla procedure hed on the
abilities of average children.
of delight
He lifted hi glass a Jnanlta
looked, and the marquesa lifted
hers. Jnanlta had never seen tbe
marquesa drink before. i
Fits had started the phonograph,
since he couldn't have the radio.
"How's ErlcT" somebody asked
him as he took his seat. I
Fits didn't know. Erie was to
have been home by the tenth, but,
tbe tenth had come and gone. '
"Must find tbs Moon of Delight'
rather fascinating," remarked Phyl-i
lis Carver, the blonde girl In the'
green riding suit She sat at the
table's end, opposite Adrian. i
"Who says he's gong with the
Moon?" asked Fltz.
"Who says he's not?" demanded
Phyllis. "Didn't I lose ten dollars
on her?"
"Still howling about your ten,"
Fits remarked. "That don't prove
he'a with her now."
"Nothing proves anything, Fits
darling," the lady agreed amiably,
"But given Eric and a wild woman
whom he's undoubtedly dippy over;
given Eric gone and the wild wom
an gone "
"Who's Moon of Delight?" Jua
uita asked.
' The question was low, but It came
in a pause of the talk while Fits
was changing a record. Naida
Preston heard it and answered,
lighting a cigarette:
"Moon of Delight is a horse. Jnst
won the handicap."
Everybody laughed. "Naida's
game all right," Adrian said to Bet
tina Byrnes on his left. To Juanita
he replied, "Moon ot Delight Is the
name Eric Ledbetter gave to the
girl" .
Kirk spoke up. "Juanita has
never been to Dlvitt's," he said.
"That so?" from Adrian. "There's
a Turkish girl there who has never
told her name. So Eric christened
her Moon of Delight. Suits her,
too. Wouldn't you say so, Rod?"
"How do I know?" said Rod.
"Turkish nothing," said Bettina
on Rod's right. "I'll bet she grew
up right there In .French Town.
Eric told me she spoke to blm In
a mixture of Spanish and English."
"That was the night I lost my
ten," said Phyllis, who was drink
ing with Dick Preston now. "Eric
went out after her one night at
Dlvitt's, bet us he wouldn't come
oack and be didn't"
"Ask Adrian what the Moon
speaks," cried Emmy Jean. "Does
she make love In English, Adrian?"
"Ask any ot the men," said Do
reen Larkin. "Ask Kirk."
"She never looked at me," said
Kirk. "And never spoke to me. All
I ever got was a flower she gave
Nelly."
"You teouS say that," groaned
Phyllis.
Fltz came back from the phono
graph, pulling Laurie out of her
chair. They began to dance, dart
ing about, mad as moths.
"Shall we dance?" Adrian asked
Juanita. She shook her head. Kirk
laid bis hand over hers in the shad
ow of tbe table.
"Feel all right?" he asked.
"You aren't drinking your wine,"
Adrian remarked, and poured It
Into her coffee, .
"Now look at the mess you've
made," said Doroen Larkin on
Kirk's other side. "Come on.
Dance." And she caught Kirk's
hand. His other hand gave Jua
nita's fingers a quick pressure. She
watched him through the baze ot
cigarette smoke, dancing with Do
reen. ...
"Sure you won't dance?" Adrian's
voice again.
Again she shook her head. Adrian
went off with Bettina, Emmy Jean
cams from the other side ot the
table and took Adrian's vacant
chair. Phyllis called from the
table's foot.
"You the host now, Emmy Jean?
Order some more wine."
The wine appeared. Scarcely
aware of what she saw, Juanita
watched the marquesa raise her
glass. The marquesa was laughing
incessantly. Every one of the men
had brought her a cigar. They lay
In a pile before her. The marquesa
was playing with them, drinking,
laughing.
Moon of Delight. . . , Dlvitt's.
And only yesterday Dlvitt's had
been like a dream to Juanita. Only
this morning she hsd suddenly
thought, "I had slmost forgotten
there was such a place."
But now It all cams bjck to her.
Eric Ledbetter ... his bet with
Phyllis that be would see the Moon

come back. So that was what they
