Medford Needs IIEDFORD hag many clubs, 1T most active might be termed the Medford Gloom club. Its members have no stated place of meeting, but whenever two or more of them get together, they take a morbid delight in broadcasting the gloomiest bit of news they can muster. As one well-known citizen remarked to the writer, he hates to roam about the city streets, for he is so bombarded with bad news that he always returned, feeling so much worse than when he ventured out. He maintained, that if he SHOULD meet a person with a smile and a cheering bit of information, he would probably f nil over dead. The shock would be more than his susceptible heart could stand. OUR suggestion to this person was that instead of meekly lying down before this Gloom club barrage, he oppose it, by starting an ANTI-GLOOM club of his own. We pointed out a truth not generally realized locally, that Medford is not the only place with a Gloom club. In fact they exist everywhere in this land of the free and the home of the brave, at the present time. Even more significant, Gloom clubs elsewhere are larger and more vociferous, than they are here; for the simple and suffi cient reason that BELIEVE IT OR NOT, conditions else where are worse than they are here. AS expected this bit of information did not cheer our AnxcnhpavtflA innrlnpnt ni in tho olitrhtpQ TTa omila snrllv ... and heaved a sigh.

He pulled a " check out of his pocket and registered a 20-karat smile, while he delivered himself of the following words: "See that check. It' a dividend from a local concern, re ceived today. I got another dividend yesterday, also from a Medford company, that has never passed one. Do you want to know eomethlng? If I had invested ALL my money right here In Medford two years ago. Instead of only a amall portion, I would be Just twice aa well-oft as I am today. That's the literal truth. I have Investment In various stocks and bonds all over the country, most of them In the Mlddlewest, and they have declined all the way from 60 to 00 per cent. During the past year at least half of them have paid no dlvidenda at all, "On the other hand I Invested In some Industries here pur chased a little business and residence property, haven't lost a dividend although In one instance the dividend ha been re ducedand I haven't loat a cent In rent. If I ever get my money out of the stock market I am going to Invest It right here, where I can keep my eye on It, and where I know what condi tions really are. I tell you I have faith In this country, not from the standpoint of local pride or Chamber of Commerce boosting, but from the standpoint of a business msn who knows vslues when he seem them, and who from actual experience knows that such faith 1 justified." TTHE above is no figment of the editorial imagination. It's a A true story. The conversation, as related, actually occurred. What was tho result t Our lugubrious, friend, Btrange to re late, did not fall over dead. Nor did he throw his hat in the air, and execute an improvised "buck and wing." He just stood there, let the glad tidings sink in, then he murmured something about that being good news and walked on. e e e e e IJE may not be elected Prcsidont of the Medford Anti-Gloom club, but we know this much) he is now a charter member. And as luck would have it, he read in the Mail Tribune that night that the Timber Products company has decided to reopen its lumber mill on a two-shift schedule, and a oertain Building and Loan organization the same day, declared its rogular 6 per cent dividend. The Medford Gloom club is not going to immediately dis band. But if a Medford ANTI-GLOOM club is not formed to give it a run for its money, the people of Modford will have only themselves to blame. The 'Good OldDays 'Have Gone! XTTE realize it is somewhat presumptions for a newspaper man to tell a railroad man how to run his business. Nevertheless we bolieve the railroad men of this country need SOME ONE to tell them how to run their business for to date they have clearly demonstrated they don't know how to do it, THEMSELVES. In fact to our mind it is as plain as the wart on a pickle, that the railroad men, particularly the high priced higher-ups, are asleep at the switch, and have been for many moons. They haven't even awakened to the fact that this is a gasoline age, in the air and on the land. And any industry that doesn't realize this fact and act upon it, is headed for the dump heap, whether Uncle Sam thaws the frozen assets, or lets them go. e e e e e may be doing the rail executives an injustice, but doubt ' it. To our mind it seems painfully apparent, that AS A WHOLE, their only idea of solving the railroad problem, is to turn the world backward, restore the good old days which have gone, and which every well-informed person realizes WILL NEVER RETURN. The world CAN'T be turned backward. The world n.S to go on. This is not only a well established principle of business progress, it is the fundamental law of Nature. And if the railroads persist in refusing to only be ruined, but deserve to be. ITfE haven't the space to go into this matter in the detail its importance deserves. We are merly going to call atten tion to one phase of it, the refusal of the railroads to cash-in on their greatest singlo asset, their rights of way, by putting a large fleet of light, fast, gasoline-driven cars on them, instead of reserving them for a fow heavy, ponderous, slow-moving trains. In these rights of way, free from corners, traffic congestions, detours and big city traffic, the railroads have a tremendous advantage over motor busses and private cars. But to date they have made no effort to rash in on this advantage and as far as we are aware, hve no intention of doing so. The idea is not original with us, though we have referred to it many times before. Only a few days aco Brisbane called attention to the fact, wlien he stated Harvey S. Firestone re- Another Club! but at present the largest and ...... .OK he didn't believe a word of it. humdinger hooey before. unconvinced if at that moment this time another well-known called himself a capitalist, but acknowledge it, they will not j cently equipped a 12-cylinder Lincoln car, with a steel flanged rubber tire, which traveljcd from Miami to Jacksonville, Florida over the rails of the Seaboard line, at an average of 75 miles per hour. Such a car could travel from Medford to Portland over the S. P. rails in approximately four hours. Let Rosey tell, you how long it takes the Shasta to cover that same distance over the same right of way! IX SHORT, the S. P. could in this way provide a FASTER, MORE COMFORTABLE AND SAFER TRANSPORTATION at less cost per mile, which is precisely what they must do, if they are to compete successfully with other transportation mediums, in this gasoline ago. WE realize every railroad big wig in the country will say this can't be done. "What do the Firestones, Brisbanes and Fords know about the railroad business, anyway!" Nevertheless here is our prediction the day is not far dis tant when the "Firestones, Brisbanes and Fords" will demon strate IT CAN BE ; and these same railroad big wigs will then be wondering how they could have wasted so much time looking backward, and praying for those "good old days" to defy all the laws of man and nature, and RETURN 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.

Introduces him self by remind ing me that he has been a fol lower of my col umn for many years, and long ago he placed a couple of dis carded mats on the garage floor and he has a regular habit of rolling himself a dozen or more somersaults every murnlng. Just to keep his spirits up. Besides that, he takes two table spoonfuls of wheat each morning as a breakfast dish, usually with sugar and cream. He declares he - hasn't required a laxative for years. This hard-headed Dane I guess) offers a sensible suggestion for timid folk who still Imagine wheat is not quite fit to eat until It has been put through some kind of process. "Sometimes I find the wheat Is not as clean as It should be. bo X drop It In a cup half filled with water, and with a spoon swirl it about so the grass seeds and chaff come to the surface and may be readily poured off. After this I put more clean water on and set on stove until It Is near boiling, and then I have & breakfast food as good as any, and better than most of the Insipid breakfast foods I have tast ed. It costs about one cent a pound." At this time, thinks our friend and I second his motion when the government Is called upon to donate several million bushels of wheat to the needy, this method of cleaning and eating wheat seems worthy of wide publication. For years I have been recom mending the habit of chewing or eating a little plain raw wheat dally. I have printed here from time to time the experiences re ported by readers who have found plain wheat, aa grown by the farm er, a remarkably satisfactory staple. Some of these have told us how they prepare It some boll It for hours in a double boiler that is. the wheat In a vessel which stands in a second vessel of water. Some grind the wheat In a coffee mill and others prefer to take it un broken. Some like It cooked very Utile or not at all. Many have felt squeamish about eating wheat as It comes from the threshing machine, such as you may buy from the farmer who grows it, from the miller, or from a feed or seed store. If the grain does not look perfectly clean, wash V S parents Tiny Materials (By Alice Judson Peale) The mother of a 6-year old boy wrltee asking what play materials are suitable for him and especially what ones will he be able to use for some time. For Indoor plsy he should have a set of floor blocks. These he will use In endlessly different and con stantly more elsborate construc tions for two or even three more years. They need not be expensive. A carpenter can cut them and they can be sandpapered at home. The unit sire of the blocks, of which tlirre should be at least four doren. should meaure by S, by l' Inches. There ehould be some blocks half and some twice the unit sir In length. There ehould be also at least four curved pieces which when placed ttwther form a perfect circle. These should be of the same width and thickness aa the unit block. Triangles msde by cutting the unit block diagonally serosa dowel rods H to 9 or S Inches In diam eter, cut the length of the unit block are also desirable. Besides blocks for Indoor play the child needs water color paints, cray ona and modeling clay. A amall work bench with a good saw and hammer and plenty of soft wood and brosd headed nails to work with are highly desirable, although these require much supervision un til the child haa learned aome skill In using them. For out-door plsy he needs oppor tunities for climbing, swinging. Jumping and balancing. A back yard with low c retched tree pro AND FIT TO EAT? It before you eat It. . If there la any question about contamination by such pests as the Hessian fly. cook It before you eat It. But If the wheat Is free from contamina tion. It Is perfectly fit to eat Just as It Is. Z particularly commend this sub stantial staple to parents who find the food problem a serious one. There Is nothing In the way of food that money will buy that gives children better nourishment than does wheat. At present prices wheat far excels milk as a staple of the diet of the child. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sunlight on Scalp This statement appeared In a newspaper: "It is criminal folly to expose the head to brilliant sun shine for any length of time. This should be remembered by those who go without their hats." Will you please comment on the state ment. (L. R. O.) Answer Maybe the man who Is sued the statement has stock In a. hat factory. Anyway. I like to give my bean all the criminal folly It can stand short of sunburn. Sun light U always beneficial to scalp and hair, provided the exposure is not long or intense enough to pro duce sunburn. There Is some un founded fancy that ultraviolet rays may penetrate the skull and affect the brain, but we know that ultra violet rays have feeble power to penetrate even thin skin. Seasick Sorry I can't report I had a grand trip, thanks to your seasickness pre ventive. On the contrary I felt sick most of the time. But when I took the medicine strictly accord ing to Instructions I was able to remain on deck, though It was touch and go many a time . . (L. 8.) Answer If you return, try going without the medicine and compare results. It Is Impossible to esti mate the effects of the treatment. While nearly all who report after they have tried it report favorably, probably a lot who have tried It are kind enough not to report at all.

Study of Stupidity, Surprise for Best Minds, Copyright King Features Bynd.. Inc- France and England balanc ed their budgets, the British with fifty million dollars to spare. And British authorities say that America should take Brit ain as an example to imitate. It would be a pleasure to adopt the British suggestions, if we could adopt some other European methods. If we could postpone paying what we owe, as France and Britain are 'postponing, or abandoning, payment of money borrowed in the United States, it might be easy for us to bal ance our budget. If the ten billions that, like a pack of fools, we sent to Eur ope during the war hysteria could come back, there would be no trouble about our budget. England and France give a good Imitation of the late lamented Abe Kablbble, who was Invited to play poker In "a gentleman's game," no poker player compelled to show his hand. To the question: "Did you win?" he replied: "How could I lose?" A thousand clergyuien die, after Uvea of useful devotion, and the world hears nothing of them. All the world wul hear of the Reverend Dr. Uriah Myers, who died yesterday, aged 85. That Dr. Myers spent his life work ing for others would not attract at tention, but he owned a horse that lived to be 63 years old. Almost ev erybody waa Interested in that. And he believed that he would meet his old horse In heaven and that will Interest everybody. He quoted the Bible In support of his belief. The red Indians believed that they would have horses In heaven, and dogs, to hunt real bisons. Moham med taught his followers that they would have a wonderful heaven, with young ladles, not their earthly wives, made of solid musk; they, the men. changed Into angles 30 feet tall, Buddhists believe that, In place of an active heaven, they will attain Nirvana, and be free from struggle and striving forever. Many In this depression would take kindly to that Nirvana Idea. Here Is news to worry our power companies and public utilities gener ally, more than anything that could come out of Russia. The New York East Methodist Episcopal conference, dropping poli tics, demands "extensive state and federal public work to provide Jobs" and, the part that will worry our best minds, these Methodist breth ren demand public control of private Industrial production, shorter hours and STATE OWNERSHIP OP PUB LIC UTILITIES. The Methodist church has politi cal influence, and If you doubt It try to get the average congressman to admit that he Is opposed to pro hibition. Perhaps the Methodists have heard that citizens of Jacksonville, Florida, which owns its own light and power plant, pay with one exception the lowest rates In America for light and power, and make a profit of one million five hundred thousand dol lars yearly to lower taxes. The one exception la Seattle, Wash ington, which also owns Its light and power plant. How strange If the Methotsts should run prohibition with the left hand, power, light and public utili ties with the right hand. Prof. Walter B. Pitkin publishes "a short Introduction to a history of j human stupidity, In 600 pages. Tou cannot expect much of a race that Is only twelve thousand years from the late atone age, Professoi Pitkin offers the fact that eighty four out of every hundred persons are practically penniless when they reach the age of 69, as stupidity prool number one. Stupidity, says the professor, ts to "lack sensitiveness." Plato, Thorna Aqulneas, Leonardo da Vinci, and Ooethe are far removed from stu pidity, because of their gaeat sensi tiveness. Professor Pitkin does not say, but It Is true, that stupidity promoter peace among human beings. If they were not to stupid they would not be so patient about a system that gives the great majority too little, and a few too much, in a land where there is enough for everybody. Russia discovers that paying t erbody the same wagre. on the the ory that we art all brothers, except a few that run the country, does not work well. Those more Industrious and rnore Intelligent will be paid three times aa much as the others. Eventually there, as In America, some Russians will get a thousand times as much as other Russians, and that will be the beginning of real Russian pros perity. 1 Communications The World Court and League To the Editor: Some time ago we said something about the attitude which you ap peared to entertain toward the League of Nations. Perhaps I was a little severe, even though I did not mean to be so. Apparently she, the League, was to blame for doing so little but we must remember that when she was born, January 10, 1920, she was a homeless, helpless and na ked waif. Even those who gave her birth, the delegates at Versailles, showed but little pride In her. America, whose president showed the most eagerness In her conception and birth, to America's everlasting shame DISOWNED her. She was left in the helpless condition In which she was born until in 1923 her few friends built her a house to live in, the World Court, into which she prompt ly moved and In which she has since lived. All Governments live In or exist In the mind of a Judiciary or court body. After 1923 she waa not homeless but she was helpless and naked. Four years later, 1928. through the Initiation or America and France, the Peace Pact was made. All the nations signed the pact. I n the act of signing the past we won der If all the nations did not enter the World Court, the home of the League, and become as one with the League? If they did, and I almost believe they did, circumstantial evl- denve proves that they did. We wonder at the futile antics of the bitter enders and extreme national ists in their frightened filibustering efforts to keep America out of the World Court for fear of It being a back door to the League, when In truth America is nestling In the same house with the League. The League is not, as some thing; a super-state but she Is a helpful state. She -has long been able to confer, mediate and sanction. Later, power for Justice, mercy and hope may be added. Recently the Peace Pact has given her negative or non-police powers, two of which are economic boycott and social ostracism. Although these are negative powers they are Just as efficient as affirmative or positive powers. You may, and doubtless will, ask: Why Is not the League using them? ? Answer: It is up to her administrators. Mostly, but not all, She has not developed her muscles by exercise; does not know how to utilize the powers that are hers. Give her time. What the nations can do to help her, but which I fear they will not, is to send Industrialists, not politicians, to constitute they who administer the cosmic government, which she Is. Through the provisions of the Peace Pact, the world has outlawed war. When and how will she outlaw poll tics? Answer: When the nations do what the League only has power to use. namely, negative or non-police power. Unfortunately the past has educated the people only iiow to use police power to make peoples good. The slogan has been too often used. "The only way to make people good Is to kill them." Minus that "Jail them." Only good men are dead ones." Pardon me for insisting that such teaching borders on murder. The League Is the only government that is no-polltlcal. That is why I like It. It Is not a super-state but it Is as it should be, a helpful state. Ita object is to help states, or na tions, to settle their differences. Don't worry; It will do what it was Intended to do, but we should be patient. Give her time to grow. When the nations become as she is, non-political, and then, of course, the delegates sent to Geneva will be industrialists, not politicians, and the administration will be In full accord with the one for whom they administer. Hoping I am better understood. I am, yours for a better society. D. M. BROWER. A&hland, April 3.
