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

MB- CAPITALIST was feeling very frisky. 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-

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

backward, and praying for those "good old days" to defy

WHAT, PLAIN WHEAT
Here is a communique from the
Baltic sector you know, up In Min
nesota. A. M. J. 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

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

In using them.

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.

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.
