A Krazy Cat Performance
POLITICAL conventions may come and go, party platforms
may ebb and flow, but keynote speeches go on the SAME
forever.
There is an unwritten law never deviated from, by the
keynote speaker of the party in power, namely:
To deliver the speech with the solemn pomposity of a Decor
ation Day orator during the Grant administration.
To claim the opposition party can do no BIGHT, the ad
ministration party can do no WRONG.
To point to mistakes as achievements, and achievements as
evidence of unparalleled administrative genius.
To shout continuously for at least three hours, until the
speaker's stiff collar has entirely disappeared, and most of the
bored and perspiring delegates have.
To never forget the Civil War, and end on that stirring
patriotic note, while the band plays, the gallery claquers func
tion, and the press boys file in aftT their three hour recess,
during which PROFESSIONAL duties were confined to putting
the following three words on the wire.1 '
"KEYNOTE SPEECH RELEASED 1''
There is the G. O. P. keynote formula, and it is just as
sacred an ark in the Republican covenant, as it was half a
century ago. Those who can explain WHY, can no doubt also
explain, why during such a depression as the present one, the
Republican convention should remain in session for a week
instead of adjourning in two daysl
Why Not Talk Sense!

in the past and has always

issue entirely.

We wonder what would have happened, had he admitted
that while the formation of the farm board, represented a
sincere effort to keep up prices on wheat and cotton and grain,
thanks to the law of supply and demand, this effort had failed,
and that t!.e problem must bu attacked from another angle.
X7"E wonder what would have happened, had he maintained
that President Hoover had done everything in his power
to end the depression, had done more than any other man in
his positipn could have done that but for his efforts the de
pression would undoubtedly have been even more disastrous
naa grown sieaauy worse instead 01 Deuer, ana mat it returned
to power the Republican- party pledged itself to a program in
harmony with the NEW rather than with an OLD economio era.
a.)
OUCH a keynote would have been sense instead of nonsense,
would have rung true instead of false, would have been
realistio, instead of fantastic
But such a key note has never been dolivered in a Repub
lican convention or in a Democratic convention, and probably
never will be. The venerable professional politicians who de
termine the ritual of major party conventions, like the Bour
bons, remember nothing and forget nothing. Liko Nero they
continue to fiddle, while Rome burns.
DERHAPS some day party conventions will be held in an
atmosphere of rationalism and common sense. But those
who have high hopes in this direction, should not be too
sanguine. When all is said and done, party conventions merely
represent the lovel of political consciousness, throughout the
country at large.
A:, long as the rank and file fall for unadulterated whang
doodle, clap-trBp and hooey in their local politics, they can
expect little better in their national conventions.

For the Republican conven
tion, telegraph companies have
provided wires and operators
enough to transmit 350,000
words an hour. They will be
needed, for Americans like
many words. A few would
suffice for the actual news,
enough to tell that President
Hoover has been renominated,
that another man has, or has
not, been chosen to take Vice
President Curtis' place, and
that the Republicans, have
adopted a prohibition plank, to
please the wets as much as
possible, and offend the drys
as little as possible.
The Republican party will demand
a plank for the preservation of the
gold standard, though the heavens
fall, because the gold etandard Is the
only reliable foundation of prosper
ity. Some may ask: "What KIND of
prosperity? This kind, or the 1929
brand?"
The old Republican party, with the
sorrow of failure In her heart, wlU
appear at her convention grasping
In her arms the little gold fetish,
even as a criminal goes to the elec
tric chair having on his person some
thing to represent -his particular re
ligion. The new German government will
tell assembled nations at Lausanne
that Germany can, and WILL, no
longer pay for losing the war.
After that, the French and Ital
ians, and the British, probably, will
announce that they will not pay us.
Paris announoes that the French and
English prime ministers, have "an
understanding" that Includes an
understanding about the debts.
This country ha already reduced
ten billions of debt to five billions.

States. The attitude of our foreign
friends, which the United States
should remember In future wars, is
about this.
A man borrows from hi friend.
and later says: "I regret to tell you
that I expected to pay that debt of
honor by beating another man and
taking the money from him. I have
beaten him, and taken a good deal
from him, but I can't get any more,
so you don't get paid."
, We shall not get our money, but
we get a lesson that ought to be use
ful. The next time Europe comes
begging, borrowing and sobbing, It
will find Uncle Sam wltb his fingers
tightly crossed.
A delegation of veterans, camping
In Washington, went to pay tribute
to the unknown soldier. It would
not have aurprlsed them to hear from
the tomb these words: "The country
that was supposed to be so grateful
doesn't know and doesn't much care
who you are. It only wishes you
would go home and atay home. It
doea not know who I am either, and
by this time probably doe not care
much."
Martin Deputy, alias Marshall De-
pew, arrested as the leader of a gang
that kidnaped a woman In Kansas
City, tells detectives: "Boys, you're
only wasting your time. I did It.
I'm going to get the noose, and I'm
not afraid."
Missouri, In which the kidnaping
was done, seeks to discourage that
crime by punishing It with death.
Capital punishment Is abhorrent.
but If the five men that combined
to kidnap the Missouri woman and
extort $75,000 from .her were all
strung up at once, It might make
kidnaping seem less attractive.
The republlo of Columbia makes
up its mind quickly. Ten days ago
it established "partial prohibition,"
stopping the sale of liquors between
6 in the morning and 6 In the even
ing on holidays.
The people did not like It and the
partial prohibition ceases, by presi
dential decree. We do not decide so
rapidly. We wait until prohibition

crime that will be dangerous and

My little boy now three years old
developed a navel hernia when three
months old, writes an eastern cor
respondent. O n
the advice of our
physician I pro
ceeded with the
same method of
treatment which
you described in
a recent talk. Jt
grew worse until
after a few weeks
It was the tlze
of a large wal
nut. A surgeon
who happened to
see the child assured me It would
be necessary to operate. He said It
was Impossible for a hernia as large
as that to be cured In any other
way. (The surgeon would. Neverthe
less plenty of hernias, In children
and adults, are being cured nowa
days In ways which ever ready oper
ators have yet to learn.)
Despite; this, the correspondent
continues, I took him to another
physician. He Instructed me In the
method of pinching the muscles to
gether. He agreed that the method
I had used would probably not help
matters any; that the pressure of
the padded coin or disc served mere
ly to keep the muscles of the abdom
inal wall spread apart. He explained
that the better way la to push the
protrusion back Into place and then
by pinching the muscles together
and strapping securely with, adhes
ive plaster, hold It back In place In
definitely. This Z did. as he showed
me, for several months, and I am
glad to say that the cure Is now
complete. (Mrs. 8. R.)
The muscles of importance In this
treatment are the pair of rectus
muscles which lie one on either side
of the midline and extend straight
up and down. With strips of ad
hesive plaster applied crosswise above
and below the navel, one can keep
these muscles pulled together.
But adhesive plaster la likely to
excoriate the skin and In any case
must be freshly applied every few
days, and the mother may fall to get
It on In such a way as to keep the
muscles drawn together.
Dr. Frank E. Brundoge, Buffalo
pedlatrlst, designed a special belt for
this purpose, and when used as he
directs It Is effective in drawing the!
muscles together and keeping them!
together, and it eliminates the unde
bidding members to sit in congress
after the election of their successors,
and being defeated in the primaries
she will resign from congress De
cember 1st, allowing the man elected
In her place to take her seat and
her salary.
This sincerity sets before other
congressmen a good example that
will NOT be followed.
It Is said that the Republican pro
hibition plank will make the national
government assist with funds and en
forcement states that choose to re
main dry, in case others go wet.
Such states will need much as
sistance probably. They will become
the camping ground of all the highly
trained bootleggers and their racket
eer hangers on.
It would be difficult for states re
maining dry to support the bootleg
ging Industry In the "manner to
which It hase become accustomed."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Your Dally 2,600
How many calories does a woman
of 50 need, when she does very little
work. I mean the amount necessary
to keep the body machine going.
(Mrs. J. O. K.)
Answer 2,600. This Is the mean
of measurements and estimates by
various nutrition authorities.
Well, It's Consoling
Some time ago you gave an In
structlve talk on , the disadvantages
of smoking. You promised to give
later a few points in favor of smok
ing. If you have done so we missed
It . . . (M. B.)
Answer If you wait till you are
grown up (age 25 years) and have a
large flock of pipes and a good sup
ply of 'baocy and reserve your smok
ing for the hour of relaxation after
the day's work or play Is done and
always keep the habit In control. It's
consoling and, I believe, harmless.
Experimentation
I thank you for this sentence in
your talk about animal experimen
tation: "It serves to remind us that
we cannot apply animal experimen
tation to human physiology." Evi
dently you are one of the doctors
who not only think but are not
afraid to say what they think. How
can we best help to stop this useless,
cruel animal experimentation? (S. R.
D.)
Answer I cannot comprehend why
an intelligent woman, especially the
mother of children, should want to
stop it. My plea was not to stop ex
perimentation, but to get suitable
human material for it.

for It has cost since the world began.
And yet who of us wouldn't go
hunting for burled treasure If we
had a fairly accurate Idea as to where
It might be found?
The yearning for romantic adven
ture seethes In the veins of all of
us. and those of us who don't go
adventuring merely lack the oppor
tunity not the desire.
-VREOON Is rich In legends of lost
gold mines. There I the famous
Blue Bucket mine, for example, lo
cated somewhere In the v&at country
east of the mountains.
There are many versions of the
story, but all agree as to the blue
bucket, which was brought back to
camp filled with ore of astonishing
richness.
Fear of Indians Is supposed to have
driven the finders on, after the dls
covery of the ore and before more
of It could be recovered.
THEN the lost Dutchmen's mine
4 n K Vnrth Ttmnnm
w.hlch Is alleged to have been dis
covered by three Dutchmen who
cam out simply loaded down with
gold which they peddled all the way
from Eugene to Klamath Falls.
They are said to have been killed
by Irate Indians, whose squaws they
h&d stolen, before they could get
back to the scene of their find.
Th tory of thi mln still per
sists, and efforts are yet made to lo
cate It.
M
1TTHAT would YOU do. If a secret
" msp, purporting to ahow the
location of the Blue Bucket mine or
the Dutchmen's mine, should come
Into your possession?
Would you laugh and throw It
away, ssying to yourself that It was
aU moonshine and that erforts to
find lost mines are silly wsste of
time?
Probsbly not at least If you are
a normal person, with a normal
streak of romance In your make-up.
The chances ,-rs you would go ad
venturing off to have a try at find
ing th treasure.
We aren't half as humdrum and
unroroantlc, any of us, as we pre
tend to be.

Talks T&
Playing Princess
(By Alice Judson Peale)
A mother Is distressed because her
little girl plays constantly, to the
exclusion of all more wholesome, re
alistic play, a game of make believe
in which she Is a princess.
As princess she is surrounded by
adoring servants and a devoted lady
ln-waltlng who anticipates her every
wish.
She Is, of course, the most beau
tiful creature in the whole wide
world. She has long golden hair and
she wears dresses of gold and silver
sewn with diamonds. She dances
so wonderfully that people crowd
about the palace gates to catch a
glimpse of her.
This kind of make believe goes oqSjh
day after day for hours togethet.
The' dolls, the housekeeping toys,
the skates and balls that her mother
had hoped would stimulate her to ft
more natural kind of play either are
rejected or pressed into the service
of the princess game. Her mother
wonders how she can meet this sit
uation. The difficulty obviously Is that thJ
little girt needs so much to enjoy a
direct outlet for her self love and
her wish for power that the more
usual child games make no appeal
to her.
An attempt to prevent her from
playing the particular phantasy
which she has made for herself would
not help. Her imagination, her en
ergies would continue to be occo
pled with It In secret.
The only real help in such In
stances is to discover and change
those elements in the child's real
life which are so profoundly unsat
isfactory that she Is driven to cre
ate for herself such unreal pleas
ures. Lack of genuine affection froa
one or both parents, a feeling of -ferlorlty
brought about by criticisms
or comparisons with other children,
especially a brother or .sister are
among the possible causes.
