Look Under the Hood!
ONE of the best advertising slogans ever devised wag "ask
the man who owns one."
For the proof of the pudding is in the eating. People are
naturally sceptical when the man who wishes to sell an article
praises it. But when the man who has purchased and used an
article praises it, its value is as clearly established, as value can
be, for the factor of selfish interest is eliminated.
Therefore when Kenneth Collins, publicity director of the
R. H. Macy company of New York, declares newspaper adver
tising is the best medium available in the business world today,
his opinion pretty well clinches the matter. He has no news
paper space to sell, but he is one of the largest buyers of news
paper space in the world- Says Mr. Collins:
"I am constantly being attacked by direct-mail and other
advertlsere, for thla point of view, but if I am wrong then nearly
every retail atore In the country 1 wrong. Without exception
they all apend by far the greatcat portion of their advertlalng
money In the newspaper. And a quarter of a million merchanta
can't all be wrong."
The newspapers could yell their heads off for fifty years,
about the great value of their advertising columns and not make
as much impression as this single statement will make, by an
advertiser who has no advertising to sell.
Individual newspapers could point to the superiority of their
columns over rival mediums, including other newspapers, till
black in the face, and not boost their game as effectively as
the simple word of advice from Mr. Collins:
"Don't buy advertlalng apace blindly,
tlalng "LOOK UNDER THE HOOD!"
There is all the art and science, of successful advertising
salesmanship in a nutshell. Don't waste time in boasting about
what you HAVE, or claiming what you HAVEN'T.
The people won't believe the first; and sooner or later will
discover the falsity of the second.
Leave it to "the man who owns one." Don't expect the
potential customer to take your word for it. Just ask that
bcfore ho hc lok the hood, and discover the truth

w has just visited us, with a
editorial entitled "On with the dance I"
He happens to be one of the "outs" who wants to get in.
NmVI ho
"If I understand your editorial correctly, you are urging
the people of Jackson County to vote .for those who are In and
against those who are out. That doesn't seem to me to be
sensible or fair. I haven't held public office but I believe I am
better qualified for the place than the man who holds It. My
record la clear. All I ask la that the people look It up. In
aaklng them to vote for those on the Job all down the line, I
don't think you are giving me a fair shako."
Were we DOING that, we wouldn't yunk so either. We have
just Biibjeoted ourselves to the somewhat painful task, of re
reading the editorial in question and feel justified in saying that
our visitor did NOT understand it-
What we emphasized was the folly of succumbing blindly
to this hysteria of "turn the rascals out," to the point of re
placing "honest, experienced and efficient public officials with
dishonest, inexperienced and inefficient ones."
We tried to make clear that in the resulting disaster such
a policy would produce . . . NOT the rejected candidates,
but the people themselves, would be the real victims.
llE hold absolutely to that contention and now repeat it.
" But to conclude from the aforesaid that "we favor
voting for those on tiie job all down the line" appears to us,
entirely unwarranted by the context.
Obviously to vote blindly for the "ins" and against the
"outs" would be as stupid and undesirable as to vote blindly
for the "outs" and against the "ins."
Blind voting of any sort, is the ono thing we DON'T want.
What we DO want, and what we thought in that editorial and
several preceding we had made quite clear is clear-eyed, intel
ligent and discriminating voting-

applicants for privato office, look up their records, judge them
solely on the grounds of character and fitness for tha job.
If the best man happens to be in office, KEEP HIM THERE j
if the best man happens to bo out of office, TOT HIM IN.
In other words, our attitude toward this primary campaign,
is precisely the same as our attitudo toward advertising as out
lined above:
Don't take anyone's word for it, don't judge a ear by the
paint on the outside, investigate the matter vonrself, use your

Kansas supplies a lynching, with a
prohibition moral showing thatlt la
one thing to tell men they can't have
whiskey, and another to keep them
from getting It.
A mob of two hundred Kansas
farmers took Robert Read, 03 years
old, from a Jail at St. Francis, He
had knldnaped and killed, after bru
tally maltreating her, a girl 8 years
old. The farmer did not care to
wait for alow justice, and It la diffi
cult to blame them.
The man lynched made no com

rope around his neck, he said
"You are lynching the right man. I

Mayor Walker of New York sug
gest a "beer-for-tax day" parade, to
show that the people want beer.
Those that pay high taxes would
like a tax on beer, and for them It
will be "beer-f or-tax-day.' To the
average man In the procession It will
be "beer-f or-thirst" day.
Mayor Walker thinks a million men
and women will be In line, and that
would be Interesting, for no such
crowd ever gathered In any other pa
rade from July Fourth to St. Pat
rick's day.
If one million beer advocates pa
rade they will pass on the right and

VITAMIN A AND RESPIRATORY INFECTION
All felons confined In prisons ought
to be made available to medical sci
ence, as experimental material. Could
any humane and
fair-minded person
object to the use
of such material
In nutrition ex
periments, for ex
ample? It would
b e comparatively
easy to keep s
thousand prisoners
on a particular
diet for a month
or a year, and
thousand of tfoelr
fellows on the same diet plus or
minus the one factor under study.
That would give a properly controlled
scientific test, and we might learn
much to the advantage of the race.
At present we have to depend largely
upon animals for our experimental
material, and It Is not possible to
assume that what Is good or sufficient
feed for an animal Is proper or ade
quate nourishment for a child.
One of the mistakes we have made
In attempting to apply the results of
animal experimentation to human
nutrition Is the assumption that vita
min A helps Infants and children
particularly to gain Immunity against
respiratory Infections. Some observ
ations of four groups ot Infants thru
the autumn and winter months, by
Drs. H. h. Barenberg and J. M. Lewis
of New York, Indicated that infants
receiving a large dally ration of vita
min A have no greater Immunity
against respiratory Infections than
have Infants receiving very little vi
tamin A.
But such a study does not lessen
the assurance given us by animal ex
perimentation exclusively, that vita
min A la essential for the develop
ment of normal Immunity against
respiratory Infections. It merely
serves to remind us that we cannot
ayply animal experimentation to hu
man physiology.
The point Is that vitamin A Is prob
acy essential for the development of
a fair degree of Immunity against re
spiratory Infections, especially In the
Infant or young child. But It doea
not follow that the Infant or child
gains any greater Immunity or other
advantage from a superabundance of
vitamin A either in thj form of cod
liver of) or otherwise .
Because physicians In recent years
have advised giving every Infant, es
pecially artificially fed Infant, a dally
ration of a teaspoon ful of cod liver
oil, from the age of four weeks to
th end of the first year, some par
ents have assumed that cod silver oil
1. rather good for children of any
age. That Is not so. It Is generally
Inadvisable to give any cod liver oil
or any concentrate purporting to pro
vide vitamin A to a child over one
year of age, unless It Is definitely
prescribed by a physician for the
treatment of a specific condition.
Likewise, it Is probable that a mod
erate exposure of the Infant's or l
Rallroada ahould be upheld and
maintained In some way. They are
absolutely essential to national proa.
perlty, and If tha cream of their
profit Is to be taken off by truck
freight hauls and long motor bus
passenger hauls, they capnot exist.
But nothing could be more fool
ish, useless, or nationally harmful,
than discouraging that which means
efficiency.
The fact that motor buses take
business from rallroada provea that
they handle the business In a man
ner satisfactory to the public. To In
terfere with that would be as child
lsh as It would have been to Inter
fere with rallroada when they flrat

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Woman Who Likes to Walk.
February 4 an article In this col
umn referred to the Man Who Once
Walked a Mile. A mother nearly 45
years of age told us the time will
come when people will point to such
a man as an anomaly. Then ahe
mentioned the difficulty she has in
finding a woman companion on her
walks. This brought In eager In
quiries from numerous other women
who like walking and who experience
much the same sort of general paraly
sis among their women friends. I
regret I failed to keep a memoran
dum of the first contributor's ad
dress. A Rochester, N. Y., reader and
a Newark, N. J., reader, both fair
walking fans, are anxious to walk
with her. The latter says she walks
never less than six miles a day, no
matter what the weather. The Roch
ester lady Is fond of week-end hlkw
of from 20 to SO miles, sleeping 13
hours at a tourist home, and then
hiking back next day. Great health
stuff, this. There has never been a
time when ordinary walking was of
greater health value than It is today.
It butters no parsnips for me to say
so, but I believe a lot of near-ln-vallds
who now keep expensive phy
sicians In golf pants would enjoy
more and better years on this planet
If they would Invest two hours a day
In walking. (Sez Ole Doc Brady.)
Where All Paths Meet.
Why the sarcastic cracks about the
osteopathic school? You plead for. a
breaking down of the barriers be
tween various schools or systems of
healing one day, and then the next
day you toss off a mean dig at osteo
pathy . . . 8. M. B.
Answer And the next day one
about homeopathy, and the next one
about allopathy. All pathles are
joke on unsophisticated people. In
b' (s day and generation the licensed
healer should be trusted to employ
whatever method .the circumstances
Indicate, regardless ot which "school"
may have Introduced or developed
the method. The practice of hav
ing various boards of examiners or
various examinations for candidates
who seek a license to practice Is kept
up today mainly for the soft graft
there Is in it for the politicians.

fore; Just as every year the builders
of automobiles provide something
better and make us WANT it.
nnHERE is plenty of reason to be-
lieve that with mass production
wooden houses could be built much
more cheaply than they are built
now. If that were possible, we could
build houses and live In them until
something better was provided and
then we could build again, thus
keeping up constantly with progress,
Wood, which Is capable of beauty
just as great as stone or brick, lends
Itself marvelously to such an Idea,
which Is certainly a modern Idea.

Consumption Shrinks.
'What ha happened sine 1S30
when we wrote the tariff bill to
cause this demand for protection?1
asked Senator Couzena (R Mich.)
"Terrific shrinkage In our home
consumption together with heavy
shrinkage In foreign demands due to
depreciated currencies and the Brit
ish and Prench tariffs have left ua
flat." replied Oreeley.
That 1 why we have from 78.000

Is going to pieces.

to discuss tiis question and further
recommend that It Is the consensus
of the committee that the power
company should continue to pay S
per cent on their gross revenue. There
are, however, other questions in
volved such as the condition of the
present power lines within the city
and the relation our franchise has
to suits now pending In Portland
and Salem. It Is tor this reason that
we suggest all parties Interested be
permitted to express their views."
Company's Stand Told.
Detailed reports of the several
meetings were also given In the re
port. At the March 17th meeetlng
Superintendent Thompson explained
to the committee the position of the
power company. He stated further
that any revenue tax Imposed by the
city would automatically raise the
power rates; that there are now two
cases before the public service com
mission In the state of Oregon, name
ly: Portland and Salem, that Involve
the question before the city of Med
ford. .
Mr. Thompson also stated he would
be pleased to Investigate the rates
being charged the city for the opera
tion of the airport beacon. Relative
to the Sixth street lighting system,
Mr. Thompson stated that the extra
charge of $1.76 per month was for
operation and maintenance of the
lighting system.
Volume Cuts Cost
At the March 24 joint meeting a
general discussion was held relative
to the power franchise and it was
the opinion that since Medford Is the
largest town In southern Oregon with
the exception of Klamat& Falls, In
which Copco Is operating, that the
operating costs must necessarily be
lees in proportion than In the other
towns supplied by this company, as
the net profit therefore In Medford
is greater In proportion so that any
revenue tax would not be discrimi
nating. It was decided that at this meet
ing the city council request the pow
er company to continue to pay 3 per
cent of the gross revenue of the com
pany In Medford as rent for the use
ot the streets and alleys, In consid
eration of granting a franchise.
