Making Railroad Travel Attractive "PHE railroads are coming to realize the necensity of keeping pace with modern progress in order to regain a share of the passenger traffic which has been diverted to other channels during the past few years. Excess fare truins are being discontinued, yet the service and speed arc maintained and in many cases improved. Attractive day coaches have been added gers unablo or unwilling to pay travel. The most attractive and notable improvement, however, has been the installation of air conditioning apparatus. The Chesa I eake and Ohio railroad recently announced the inauguration of a new fast passenger train on will be fitted with air conditioning equipment. Even temper atures will be maintained, dust and pure air assured all passengers. That such apparatus will be common to all first class trains in the near future is the prediction of railroad officials. There is also in prospect the development of single motorized railway coaches equipped with rubber-tired wheels. These have already been tried out in France with favorable public accep tance. Supplementing the increased trains is the possibility that include delivery of passengers cities without extra charged Drastic improvements have the severe competition being offered by the bus and the private motor car.

Talks ID parents A PRECOCIOrs BOY By Alice ludson Peale. At 13 Robert has adopted a gal' lant flirtatious attitude toward hla mother' friends. He pays compli ments, makes eyes at them and oc casionally' ventures what he believes to be a risque remark. A thin, pale, tense child, his be havior Is even more pathetio than It Is unpleasant. The trouble with Robert Is that nobody pays him any attention. He wants affection but feels himself to be far too grown up. too much the man, to ask for It In a natural, childish way. He patterns himself on the men he has seen and tries to put himself over as It seems to him that they do. He Is simply a lonely little boy who has listened to too many adult conversations. What he really needs Is more af fection from his mother, Interest and companionship from his .father, plenty of Interesting things to do nnd friends of his own age with whom he can play. But because no one takes the trouble to read the signs of his be havior, to understand what he needs and help him to get It, he becomes dally a more unpleasant, unhappy little boy. This type of precocious behavior ln boys and girls alike polnU usu- nlly to a lack of parental affection, Often the best solution where the parents for one reason or another seem unable to give their children the mothering and fathering they need. Is to find for them some sub stitute parent person. A sympathetic teacher, a club leader or a play director to whom the child Is drawn will at once not only temporarily fill the parent place but also will direct his attention back to the world of wholesome, childish Interests.

Today By Arthur Brisbane The Big Garner News. A Borah Triple Plan. The Ugliest Word. Washington's Madhouse. Copyright King Features SyncU Inc. WASHINGTON, May 5. II ot and uncomfortable in Washington, physically and mentally. Everybody is disgusted with everybody else and finds some one to blame for lack of effec tive action. Democrats came marching back from the elections in 1930 and said "we have the house in our control, now watch us save the country." The nation watched, and this far has seen nothing. You would not call it a mountain in labor giving birth to a mouse, but rather two mountains, house and senate, giving birth to a microbe. ' ,. Americans would not have been edified, could they have seen and understood the pro ceedings in the house galleries and lobbies, a couple of nights ago, when the attempt to reach an economy program was kick ed, to pieces. There were hundreda of lobbyists, able, "hard boiled," sending for their congressmen, laying down the law, telling the representatives what would happen to them, at home, If they did net, obey ordra. Many of thsm obeyed. Under General Orant'a portrait, that hangs above the fireplace ln the Whlto House, red room, you read "Ulysses 8. Grant, of Illinois, Eigh teenth President. March 4th, 1869, to March 4th, 1877." Grant la ehown In his army uniform hla full beard neglected. His face looks tired, but he can be thankful hla Unea are not cast In 1932. Look ing down from the plsce to which good soldiers go, he must wonder how any one can live In this political madhouse, Washington's big news today, Is the Garner victory In California, that ohanges completely the democratic battle. Opponents of Governor Rooeevelt have, already, enough votes to prevent hla nomination by a two-thirds vote. Some think there will be a stampede tor him, when the convention opens, but they forget that political control ln New York, New Jersey, llllnoiaVand Massachusetta la against him. Lesders ln those statea are not a kind easily stampeded. Already, eome are climbing down from the Roosevelt bsndwagon fearing It will never atart. Admtrera of Speaker Garner Bay he must be the compromise candidate. Othera, professing definite knowledge say "No, the plan la to nominate Owen D. Young, and It will go through." Washington's setusttonal newa is the arrest of Gaston B. Means, on complaint of Mra. Evelyn McLean, wife of the Washington Poat'a owner. Mra. McLean saya ahe gave Means one hundred thousand dollara, upon hla promise to recover the Lindbergh baby, by uee of the money. Her com- plaint alleges that he did not produce the baby, or return the 100,000. There- la no knowing what sums have been, and may be, paid in ef forts to recover the lost child. Defeat of the plan to put govern ment employeea on a tlve day week pleasing temporarily to employees. may have prevented the Inauguration of a moat important experiment. The plan waa to pay for five daya only. during the emergency period, and thereafter to give a full week'a pay for five daya, the government show ing the way to Industry aa a whole. Those that know predict the dis charge of one hundred thousand public employeea. beginning ln July. If that happena. Increasing the num ber of unemployed here by 100.000 It will prove a greater disaster than temporary reductions of Income by one-sixth. Senator Borah, who does not need to worry about re-election or "appro val of the folka back home" has a three fold plan to aave the country, and revealed It In the senate today. In these words: Tnleaa armamente are reduced, so that burden Is lifted, unless repara tions are settled ao Europe ran start on economic recovery, and unless sil ver Is reatored to the place It occupied . prior to 1975 to reatore to some extent . the purchasing power of one half lite world, there will not.

OLD SPANISH CUSTOM I have referred repeatedly to the radical operation for removal of ton sils (by snare and guillotine) as an old Spanish cus tom, meaning that it U a fine old method but rather crude and torture s o m e compared with the modern method by dia thermy. I esti mate that for ev ery time I have uttered this seem ing slander a score of nose and throat specialists have wished me some place where newspapers don't circulate. But, on the other hand, I really be lieve that every time I have uttered the seeming slander one good man somewhere has stopped scoffing and arranged to receive technical Instruc tion In the new method by some master who demonstrates the technic ln clinic. Every little while we hear that some friend has suffered an injury of some kind and Is now In a plaster cast. It sounds a lot worse than it Is, if you are not fi miliar with such matters. But at best It Is pretty bad. It ts so bad that I think I am scientifically Justified in saying that plaster cast ln any stage ox tne treatment of fracture, dislocation or orthopedic deformity or defect is an other old Spanish custom which ought to be discarded some time ln the present century, but probawy thinks we must "get rid of this gold mentality." Senator Borah's references to gold were applauded, also bis statement "I do not believe we can restore bet ter conditions In this country, by Increasing taxes." The dreaded word "revolution," once barred In respectable conversa tion, crops up unpleasantly Even Senator Borah uses It "We do not accomplish things, generally, ln this country by revolution, but there can be no doubt of a general feeling among the people that the govern ment are not meeting the task before them." The French, Russians, Italians, did not "accomplish things generally by revolution," either, until revolution came. It Is NOT coming here, even if things get worse because successful revolution calls for a homogeneous population, all French, all Italian, etc. If one kind of Americans wanted revolution, ten other kinds would say "you cant have It." Nevertheless ya hear It talked about In strange places. In New York yesterday, four well known citizens heard a fourth, worth millions, with a big yacht, fine estates, control of an Important bank, and other things. not revolutionary, say this: "Unless currency Is made more plentiful and very plentiful, in this country, within sixty days, you will see a revolution." What Senator Borah calls "the gold mentality may or may not be respon sible for our troubles. But the dif ference between this country and "the good U. S. A.," of which Mr. Cohan sang, Is the difference between a live man and one that has Just died. The dead man has everything that the living man has, heart, brain. lungs, all organs, bile and blood. BUT THE HEART IS NOT BEATING, THE BLOOD IS NOT CIRCULATING. Sometimes, when a man seems dead the put motor will restore circulation and life. This country needs as pul motor, money, plentiful to start It going, not a congressional doctor to draw off the blood through taxation. The national heart, which Is Indus try and business, Is not beating. The nation's blood, which Is money. is not circulating. It is not wise to delay, too long, use of the pulmotor.

I am not referring to plaster of Paris splints or molds. The purpose of plaster casts was to immobilize the Injured or defective limb and to retain the structures In the position desired by physician or surgeon. That purpose is always accomplish ed quite as effectively by suitable splints. Either the original cast should be cut into two removable splints as soorr as It has set or else it should be applied only two-thirds or, three-fourths of the way around the limb or body, if it la not Intend ed to remove It dally for Inspection, gentle massage and passive move ment of the Joints near the injury. When a doctor applies a cast en olrcllng the limb and leaves It un disturbed for days and even weeks he may be following fine old tradi tions but he is certainly not giving the victim of fracture the benefit of modern surgical treatment. If he were not an old fogy he would cut the cast lntcj two splints the first day, and remove at least one for In spection of the limb every day, and begin gentle dally massage and pas sive bending of the Join or joints ln the first week and probably keep only one splint (one-half of the cast) on the limb after the second week, and that for no longer than six weeks. Of course circumstances alter casee I am giving fair average rules. It Is the old timers ln the profes sion who establish what the courts would call good standard practice. So that any doctor who still follows old established standards ln the treat ment of every day fractures would have no trouble at all ln ellgnlng all kinds of eminent expert witnesses to testify that the old Spanish meth od ts all right, just as plenty of the medical tldera today are still mak ing a major operation out of the re moval of Infected tonsils. But I'm telling you what's what, and let me know If you find a physi cian of standing who dares to con tradict me. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Grade of Milk What Is the difference between Certified Milk and Grade A Pasteur ized? Which Is more nourishing? (G. 8.) Answer. Certified milk Is the fin est available milk for any one and especially for the baby. Any milk Is pasteurized if It has been heated to 145 degrees F. for 20 or 30 minutes, this parboiling being for the purpose of killing off disease germs which are not unlikely to be present in or dinary market milk. Although no milk Is superior to certified in nour ishing value or In butterfat, any other grade of milk Is likely to be Inferior to it ln purity. If certified milk is available and one can afford it. It Is the best for infante, children Cook The California Oregon Power Company Flight o Time (Medford and Jackson Count) History from the Files of The Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Year Ago.)

The senior class of the high school presents "The Merchant of Venice. Up-to-Date," at the opera house. Miss Mamie Deuel enacted the role of Portia, and Miss Mildred An tie was "Nerclssa." or Invalids. But any milk that has been pasteurized Is safe to feed them. Certified Is the only grade of raw milk whose purity may be relied upon at all times. Hlppokrates Now Obsolete Several times you have implied or asserted that graduates ln medicine take the oath of Hlppokrates when they receive their degree. I graduated ln 1895 and no such oath was admin istered to me. I doubt whether 90 per cent of the profession know what it Is all about or have ever read it. (C. T. M., M. D.) Ana- I assumed that all physicians took the oath on receiving the de gree. They should. The man who takes the oath and keeps It Is a true physician.
