Tiree-ycar lettermen and co-eds of Jackson County Democracy, met last night and dtirplayed more gumption than usual against their traditional foe the Republicans, who are di rectly responsible for all Democratlo victories. It waa decided that there was no use trying, unless some slogan could be found, like "kept us out of war," to make the women cry, and something offered free to the men folks. So It was voted to adopt "Oh J Where Xa My Wandering Boy To night?" aa the official song, and to give the men a tin lead pencil, a pound of chewing tobacco, and the j telephones iree. me emnauied De mocracy announc "they are out for blood In 1033," when it la votes not oorpuslea that count.

Shows the Way I TATS off to the Missouri Pacific I On its own initiative this railroad has done what we have tried for so many years to get the dear old S. P. to do, make a specialty of pears on its dining cars. Raymond Reter of this city has presented us with a beautiful dining car menu which, we admit, took our breath away. Issued by the Missouri Pacific lines, its cover has a half-tone of pears in a silver dish, in natural colors, and below an inter esting monograph on pears by Dr. John T, Stinson, director of the railroad's agricultural development department. On a green pasted-slip under the heading of pears one roads: Pears, like most good things, an difficult to obtain because of the rarity of their production. They are one of the most delicious fruits, whether eaten as picked from the tree or cooked in various ways. The Missouri Pacific lines have purchased the finest of this sea son's crop so that their patrons may enjoy this delectable and health ful fruits. Missouri Pacific chefs have arranged the tastiest of pear delicacies to tempt you and have made them suitable to each meal of the day. Study today's menu and enjoy some of this ptquantiy flavored fruit served to suit you. And inside under the heading "Special Pear Dishes" are the following including, if you please, "individual, deep-dish pear pie"! BREAKPAST Presh whole pear, baked pear with cream, steamed rice with com pote of pears, fresh pear omelet, Prenoh toast with sliced pear, LUNCHEON Baked stuffed pear, pear fritters, fruit sauce, Individual deep-dish pear pie, vanilla Ice cream, pear glace. DINNER Presh pear and pineapple cocktail, pear and lettuce salad cream dressing, Individual deep dish pear pie, fresh pear sundae, grenadine. If the Missouri Pacific can principal crop, it would seem Pennsylvania Northwestern and Eric, railroads which handle so much more pear tonnage, to do as much. At any rate one good turn deserves another. In the future all the freight and passenger traffic from this district that CAN be shipped oyer the M. P. lines, should in common courtesy be routed that way, ( Flight o Time (Med ford and Jackson County History From the Pile or The Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Venn Ago.)

She Is given an allowance ample for pocket money and for such ne cessities aa lunches, school supplies and hose. But long before the month la up she comes begging to her father. lie has explained to her that he has given her all the spending money that the family budget can stand. Hs has upbraided and penalised. He has even threatened to take her al lowance away entirely, so that like a small child, she would have to ask for every penny. Is this a good Ideat Certainly not, for It Is a known fact of human psy chology that we rise to greater trusts, to heavier responsibilities when we have failed In a minor one. Also It Is true that when others show us how badly they think ot us we are likely to Justify that opinion. This extravagant youngster will never learn money sense through be ing treated like a child. What she needs ts to see that getting along on her allowance Is a part of growing up, a part of playing fair with her parents. She needs more responsibil ity, not leas. Instead of giving her an allowance merely for email expenditures It would be a good Idea to Increase It to Include money needed for cloth ing, for any ipeclal outings, for extra lessons. The spending of money then would not be an Irresponsible Indulgence, but a serious mstter requiring tore thought and consideration. To be sure, she would need help In planning and budgeting hsr expendi tures. But advice would have to be sparingly and tactfully given ao that hsr pleasure In her Indepen dence and freedom of choice would remain unimpaired. The girl who would not respond to such added trust would be unusual. Shangle Studio Tour order com pleted in one day. Costs rellned snd remodeled at the Panhlon Shop, 43 Medlord Bldg.

After the Penguins took their aun baths they decided they would go in swimming, but before one of the mother Pen guins waddled Into the water ahe came over and whispered to Peggy. "The bablea are covered with the 1 o v e 11 e a t, a o f t e a t down when they are born. Oh, they're so downy and sweet, and even before tne bnoy Is hatched and la only an egg It la a beautiful egg a lovely olive-green handsome egg I" And now they all were In the water. Some of the younger ones were being taught to use their wings. After they had been In the water for some time they came out with their dinners. Tha particular dinner they were having today waa that of cuttlefish bcaka, and It waa very delicious, according to the Penguins. The Little Black Clock had, how ever, brought a supply of food for John and Peggy. They ate sand wiches and drank cocoa. Once more they had aun baths and naps. Some rested standing up. some sitting up, and some lying down, and many of them put their heads under their wings aa little canary birds and other birds do, When they got up from resting . they fixed their feathers and smooth. ! ed themselves. One would stand on j one foot and brush his head fea thers with the other foot. Another mother Penguin spoke once more to Peggy' and told her that there was a sad chapter in Penguin history, too. Sometimes ft mother Penguin 'a egg waa stolen by a sea leopard, and then the poor mother penguin felt so sad that she would take a smooth stone and make-believe It was her egg and that It would hatch out Into a lofty. downy penguin.

(El fill Today By Arthur Brisbane - Laval, Man of Power. What One Plane Could Do Japan's Hand to the Plough, Irish Paternalism. Copyright King Feature Synd- Inc Pierre Laval, prime minister of France, is here. Read every thing he says for publication, although his most important sayings will be uttered pri vately. Arriving in New York, see ing big buildings in the biggest city for the first time, he is "struck with admiration" and admires the "disciplined free dom of New York's inhabi tants." There is also some UNDIS CIPLINED freedom there among racketeers, gangsters, politicians, bribe takers and givers, etc., but he may leave without learning about that.' When he returns to Paris, and tells what he saw, some Frenchmen may be Inclined to take tbe United States more seriously than they do now, more seriously, for Instance, than the French . ."Nationalists," who tell Premier Laval "Reject all pro posals of Hoover, and make your own demands." That Idea seems . fair, provided "Hoover" Is permitted to adopt the same methods. Powerful Is Prime Minister Laval, most powerful Frenchman since Bonaparte. And France Is more powerful than she has been In the last one hundred and twenty years. Ferdinand Touhy reminds you that Laval comes from the rugged Au vergne mountains and from pov erty, and deserves his success. When he waa helping his father. peddling from a cart thirty years ago, the Tillage priest would point out young Laval pushing the cart with Ills right hand, while reading a book, held In his left hand, and say "There's some one to model yourself on." That "boy peddlar of the Au- vergne" will talk with President Hoover "as an equal" to put It mildly, having for background two and one-half billions in gold, the most powerful standing army In the world, the biggest fleet of fighting airships, a united prosperous nation In which unemployment has been unknown, a Jand In which the farmer gets one dollar and a half for his wheat, and the worker buye bread for leas than you can get It In the United States. General Pershing who protests against reducing the army, thinks that 800,000 trained men, ready for service In 1817, would have kept us out ot the great war. He Is mis taken about that. Europe would have been all the more anxious to get us In, and Europe TOOK US IN. General Pershing adds "Our mo bile force of 30:000 wouldn't half fill Vale's football stadium." This Is true, but one single air plane carrying two men and explos Ivn bombs, would empty Tale's stad ium In about a minute if the peo ple could get out so rapidly. And one airplane, equipped with modern poison gas, could destroy the lives of aa many as could enter the Tale stadium. This country needs submarines out of sight to destroy the ships ot any nations attacking us, and In the air a fighting fleet, greater by at least one hundred per cent, than that of any other nation, to remind the world that to attack us would mean subsequent destruction. The Japanese do not profess our religion, or read our Bible, to any great extent. But when they put their hand to the plow they go ahead In a straight line, not turn ing back to see It anybody la mak ing faces at them. When the League ot Nations, the United States Joining In. says to Japan "Please tt out of Manchuria, and stay out, leave thoea Chinese alone, hurry," Japan, always polite, saya "Tee, certainly." "Tea" costs nothing. But today you read of airplanes from Toklo again bombing Chinese In Manchuria. Some bombs tell near a railroad bridge, others are said to have struck some cities. Japan says that the Chinese troops fired at her filers. That la not Im probable, although Chine, saya Ja pan's accusation Is like that of a man, arrested for stealing and kill ing sheep, who told the Judge "1 11 klU any sheep that bites me." - For centuries Irish fishermen and their families have lived on the wild, wind-swept Islands of tnnlskea, off the coast ot County Mayo.

During the money less period Bam has carried the household responsibilities. She has become engaged to Peak Ab bott young newspaper owner, to .relieve fas gnancfot strain and to lessen the unfortunate social el tecte ot her stepbrother. Nelson's marriage to their maid. Now that Fourth is rich, she realises that she eould have avoided this step and married Freddy Uunson. with whom shs is in love, but who has no money. She is worried by ths statement of stre. Frye. who is in terested in Fourth and would have backed the invention if it had been commercially practical. Ure. Frye finds it peculiar that business men approve the invention. "It's worse than peoultar," shs says, "It's ter rible.' Chapter 23 A FIGHTER AND A GHOST CAM smiled In spite of herself. "I can't believe that It's quite to bad as all that. Too can un doubtedly Snd something Just as good as Fourth's Invention to put your money In." "You don't understand." Eugenie shook her head vehemently. "I'd rather have lost every cent than iave let this happen." "What do yon mean?" "What I mean Is simple enough. Mr. Aldersea Isn't In the book busi ness any more. Not only that, but he has plenty of money." Eugenie looked up, and Bam was horrified to see that her eyes were filled with tears. "It's the end. I won't be see log Mr. Aldersea any more." "Nonsense!" Sam spoke sharply In an attempt to stifle an unreason able and unwelcome surge of pity. The widow leaned forward with tudden earnestness, "Miss Sherrill, rou and 1 are both sensible people, tren't we?" "Why yes, 1 suppose we are." "Very well. Being sensible peo pie, we both know what we know. We know, tor Instance, that I am terribly In love with Mr. Aldersea." Bam gasped. "We do?" she In lulred. "Yes." Eugenie nodded. "We not only know that, but we also know that Mr. Aldersea isn't even slightly Interested in me." "Mrs. Frye!" "I have no wild Ideas about my self," the widow continued calmly. "I know exactly what 1 am. I'm cheap, and 1 don't wear good clothes, and my voice is bad. I can't even talk the same kind of English he talks." "Please don't talk like that," "Why not? It's the truth. Do you mind if I put the cards on the table? I'd like to tell yon about myself It you can stand it." Sam murmured: "I'd be glad to hear." The widow had suddenly become an Intensely interesting Dgure. "Well," Eugenie began briskly. "In the first place, you must know that never in my life has anybody given me anything. Do you under itand?" "I'm afraid I don't" "Ot course you dont." The widow smiled. .You'll see soon enougb when I tell you a little bit about my life. "To begin with, I was the young est one of six kids. My "father worked around the docks and be didn't exactly make what you'd call a lot of money." She laughed. "1 wasn't so keen about living eight In three rooms." "That's understandable enough." Sam nodded gravely. "Is it?" the widow Inquired "I'm not so sure. The rest of them were satisfied enough. I wanted something better. I waa different" The widow had torgotten Sam al together. She was staring back through the years at three crowded rooms in some dingy tenement "Yes," Eugenie went on, "1 was different, but 1 didn't know It All I knew waa that I loved to stand outside (heritors watching tbe nice people going In. I'd look at the women and tell myself that some day I'd have clothes like theirs." She smiled at Sam. "I've always known what 1 want ed and I've always fought tor It 1 fought for Jim Frye. 1 fought myself from that tenement to where 1 am now. and I began to think that I hadn't done so badly." "Badly?" Sam was genuinely moved. "You've done wonders!" Sim said. "Have I?" Eugenie shrugged. "I'll admit that I'd Just about de cided my fighting days were over. Then, one day.

I knew right then and there that I wanted him." "Really?" Sam almost smiled. "1 didn't know that Fourth was so " "1 know. It sounds foolish some how, and it's hard to explain. Maybs It was his voice or tbe things h talked about Maybe it was Just him. Anyhow, there it was. I had to think, so I stalled him oft about the books and told him to come back a day later. He went away, an I told my. self that I was In for another fight." "Really?" Sam repeated weakiy. "Yes, I said to myself, 'Eugenli Frye, there's no use tor thinking ro mantle nonsense about this busi ness, because a man like him won't fall in love with you. What havs you got that you can fight with? Money was the answer. I had s lot of money and Mr. Aldersea didn't nave much or he wouldn't ba selling books. Maybe I could per suade him to put up with me toi tbe sake ot my money. Then I could begin to try to make him like me a little bit" Sam was so dazed by this amaz ingly frank recital that she wat able only to murmur a feeble: "I see." Eugenie nodded. "Well, I bought books from him, and I lent him money. I tried to put in his head what was in my head." She sighed. "I think I was Bucceeding-nrand then, all of a sudden he stopped coming to see me. You tell me thai he has made money. That Is s blow, because if he's made money bo'll never give me another thought. Ho's taken away the only thing. 1 bad to fight with." She turned suddenly and stared Intently at Sam. "Do you see why I've been acting like such an Idiot since yon told- me about that Invention thing?" "I think so." Sam nodded slow ly. "I'm terribly sorry." "Don't be sorry for me." The widow sat up very straight, a grim determined figure. "I'm not sorry for myself, and I'm not through. I'm not beaten yet!" "I said it was all over when you first gave me the news. I'm ready to start again now. I don't know how I'm going to fight, or what I'm going to find to fight with but I warn you. I'll find something. I've got to! There's a reason." "A reason?" "Yes," said Eugenie with a cer tain simple dignity. "The reason Is I'm in love with your stepfather." She laughed grimly. "I'm In love and I can't get out It's something that's got hold of me and won't let go." She made an . expressive, twisting gesture with her clenched hnnd. "It sort of grabs and hurts Inside like that Know what I mean?" Sam nodded. "Yes," she said gravely. "I think I know." People said, that spring, that Sam was forgetting. They meant, of course, that she was forgetting about Nelson and his marriage to a flfteen-dollar-a-week domestic serv ant whose father was reputed to be an unenterprising retailet ot fresh dsn. No one had the slightest doubt that Sam was genuinely happy. It stood out all over her. She no longer gave the impression ot being a person apart, self-sufficient faint ly on the defensive. She went everywhere, and she obviously en joyed herself. Tbe night at tbe Rltz proved to be, as the weeks went on, no more than a beginning. Sam's mood did not wane. Instead, it remained, flourished, and grew. Peak, although delighted, was definitely wary at first He watched Sam closely. Sam's air of grave formality and her long silences in his presence had disappeared. She talked with him constantly now: talked with him Intimately and without reservation. She gave no verbal assurance of love, to be sure, but otherwise. Peak told himself savagely, she talked, exactly as a woman might talk with her bus band. It was all vety difficult At times, when she looked up at him sudden ly with that deep, almost purple light In her blue eyes, it took all his strength to keep from seizing her In his arms. Only a will that had become strong through con. stant exercise prevented hlro from giving way to these temptations. He was grimly determined that he should never give way never, at least, until he was absolutely sure that the ghost of Freddy Munson had been finally and definitely laid to rest (Copyright.

TIIF, CLEARING OF THE NASAL CHAMBERS. Thu rnmrnnn nractica of blowlna learns to hold the throat in the posl- i the nose In a double barreled fashion j tlon for pronouncing k. This lrrlga is harmful, for It tends to Inflate the tlon Is often of great value In the i Eustachian tubes, which connect the rear of the nasal passage with t.he ear cavity Just Inside the ear drum, a pea sized space In the temporal bone where the famous hammer, anvil and stirrup are housed. Fre quent blowing of both sides of the nose at once, with a handker chief and perhaps preliminary pinch ing of the nostrils, not only blows air under pressure Into the ear cavity or into the Eustachian tube, but is likely to drive infective material from the nasal, passages up into the tube or ear cavity and set up imiam matlon there. This is particularly liable to happen when there is an acute coryza or rhinitis. The right way to blow the nose is simpler and easier. Only trouble is the right way is leas noisy, and some folks confuse sneezing and blowing the nose in respect to the reverbera tions associated. It Is not bad hy giene when you sneeze to sneeze heartily and with plenty of sound; It Is bad hygiene to suppress a sneeze. When you sneeze make It good and hearty, but of course take pains not to Include any Innocent bystanders in the spray. When you blow your nose blow one side at a time and that done well. That Is, close one nostril by pressure of the thumb while you are clearing out the oppo site nostril. In England some good physicians have found hat snuffling a pinch of powdered soap, plain toilet soap, just as a snuff user would take snuff, is a good practice to clear the nasal passages each morning. In some schools all children with adenoids or enlarged tonsils are regularly . put thru a morning nose clearing exer cise, with the aid of a snuff of soan ! powder. Numerous readers of this column assure me that they have obtained great benefit from snuffling once or twice dally a small pinch of boric acid powder, particularly In cases of chronlo rhinitis and perhaps in some cases of chronic sinusitis, where there is constantly more or less occlusion of the nasal passages by boggy swel ling and thick secretions. I do not believe this snuffing of boric acid is harmful. Some people snuff Bait water Into the nose. This Is objectionable. In some cases It may be helpful to irri gate the nnsol passages with luke warm weak salt water (round tea spoonful to the pint), letting the so lution.' run In one nostril from a blunt nozzle and springe or reservoir hung not more than a foot above the head, and out thru the opposite nostril), w.hich it does without enter ing the throat when the patient OF MUSIC ASSOCIATION Students at the senior high school yesterday afternoon attended an as sembly at which the purposes and objects of the Civic Music association were related by Miss Jane Coude of San Francisco, who Is in the city helping to organize the local branch.

When tbe head Is held erect the nasal passages run straight back wards. The nozzle or tip of the ato mizer should therefore be directed straight backward or horizontally as you sit or stand erect. 11 mrecvea upwards the spray strikes the sensi tive roof and irritates too much.

A Silver Star Letter Our Michigan reader sends this Silver Star letter: Dear Dr. Brady: About seven years ago I used your remedy for a running ear boric acid and grain alcohol. Since then I have not been bothered at all with my ear nor have I had any earache or other trouble with it. I was 31 years old at the time and had been troubled since Infancy. Doctors (four of them) said the only cure for It was opera tion, which would leave me deaf in that ear. I sincerely thank you. (Mr. T. B.) Answer The remedy mentioned consists of a solution of 10 grains of boric acid In the ounce of pure grain alcohol. Drop a drop or two of this in the ear each night and morning for perhaps two months. It has seem ed to give much relief In many cases of chronic running ear. Diathermy for Contraltos.'

Cigars and Cigarettes In conversation with a nerve spe cialist at one of Detroit's large hospi tals I learned that smoking a pipe ts most harmful, cigars next and cig arettes least harmful. Am I right in assuming that the harm Is dependent on the distilling of nicotine and on the amount of smoke Inhaled? (C. C. G.) Answer Nicotine Is only one of the harmful substances the tobacco user absorbs. Some experiments seem to show that cigarette smoking Is less harmful than cigar or pipe smoking. Practically I think it is chiefly a question of the amount of tobacco used. Inhalation of the smoke of course gives greater absorption. Royal coal 13.50 per ton. Castle Gato 15.00. Free kindling.
