Cutting City Expenses
ITY administration is simply business administration. Run
ning a city is merely running a big business. Methods
which bring success in one, must be adopted to bring success
in the other.
The business man who is successfully riding out the de
pression storm, is only doing so by the most skillful manage
ment, the most stringent retrenchment, particularly the reduc
tion of overhead.
What every business man in Medford has had to do, the
city administration should also do. Salaries adjusted to pros
perous times, must be adjusted to non-prosperous times. What
was legitimate overhead when business wag booming, becomes
waste and duplication, when normal business activity ends.
The Mail Tribune therefore commends Mayor Wilson and
the members of the council, for bringing up the problem of
retrenchment throughout the administration at this time. As
far as possible the letting out-of men, to increase the numbers
of unemployed should be carefully avoided. But each paid
employee should, we believe, be willing to share in the economy
program which present conditions demand
Learn to Swim!
I7IGHT were drowned on the coast over the week end,
- nearly all of them youngsters. Most of the fatalities were
caused by children who did
beyond their depth. One of
ignorance of the victim's companions regarding rescue and
resuscitation.
With the dog days approaching, the rush to water will
steadily increase, and the Mail
in order. Children who can not
I to go into tho water unattended. Boys and girls who CAN
swim, should all be instructed in tho rudiments of rescue and
i resuscitation.
1 rT,HE Mail Tribune also believes, and has frequently stated,
I that swimming instruction should be a prescribed course
in our publio school curriculum, There is no better exercise,
I no finer sport, the person who can not swim suffers a handicap
I throughout life, which for any normal person is entirely
! needless.
In the race of life there are enough handicaps which can't
I be avoided without accepting any which can.
i
i CO WE repeat our familiar advice to parents. If your children
can't swim, see that they are taught; if they CAN, see that
they know the rules of rescue and resuscitation, and last but
not least:
Even the most skillful swimmer should never forget, that
only the fool takes unnecessary chances.
Ain't He Got Fun?
TPHESE be parlous times. It appears to us, that those who
can find joy and relaxation amid the cureumambient
gloom, should not be denied such a rare indulgence.
We, therefore, refuse to join the Hoover administration in
its condemnation of Senator Borah for jumping, the G. 0. P.
reservation. It is hard to lose the support of a man who was
so helpful to the cause four years ago, but just think of the
fun Bill B. is having. x
The Idaho senator is never really happy unless he is alone.
He detests a crowd as nature abhors a vacuum. It may be true
as Secretary Hurley declares that the G. 0. P. dry plank,
was not only written for Bill but approved by him.
But after all, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,
and no one knows better than Senator Borah, that he possesses
a BIG ONE.
SO let Bill have his fun. If he gathers the Anti-Saloon League
about him and launches a Third party, so much the better.
It will be refreshing to observe SOMEONE getting such
unadulterated pleasure and joy, out of the unadulterated whang
doodle of the presidential campaign. '
A Counter -Irritant
A LONG the same line the present writer welcomes the big
fight in New Tork city tonight. It will take our minds
off our troubles, and absorb some of the excess pugnacity, that
this pesky and pertinacious depression, has created in the body
politic. Far better to fight vicariously Herr Max or the Gob,
than to fight literally among ourselves.
Moreover, this championship battle promises to open the big
fighting season. The New Tork battle will scarcely be over
before the Chicago battle will begin.
As there will be preliminaries to whet the fighting fans'
appetites in New York, so there will be preliminaries in Chicago.
The first preliminary will be between King Fish Raskob, and
Walloping Walsh of Montana, as to whether the former grabs
t..e Shouse cup, or the latter grabs Mr. Shouse'a goat.
The main event in Chicago, as in New York, will be between
the chiefs of these preliminary boys, 1. e. between Phantom
Roosevelt and Sidewalk Smith, Walsh in the former's cornur,
Raskob in the latter's.
Not a night's fighting, but a full week, and some fighting,
matesl
So cheerup everybody, and listen In on the big ihow.

Mr. ind Mrs. A. D. Leaker, of Chi

The twenty, who know they must

study the "steps" that will lead them
to the grave. The twenty volunteers
will be well cared for, with the beat

and will die knowing that they have
been useful to other human beings.
The Lasker Foundation was estab

Those diseases destroy men whose

On the other hand, they are a great

MEDICAL LATIN IS BECOMING OLD FASHIONED
Out of the dally mall bag I esti
mate we get half a peck of letters
quoting what the doctor said and
asking for Inter
pretation of the
doctor's occult lan
guage. On the
ground that this
Is a health service
we usually regret
our Inability to
undertake the In
terpretation, tho
no narrow dictates
of medical ethics
can deter me from
exposing sheer hokum wben that Is
obvious. For Instance, If a patient
goes to the doctor complaining of
heart trouble and the doctor feels his
pulse and tells him It la a cardiac
disturbance, I'd Just aa soon Inform
the , patient that he has been had.
But such cases are not so common
nowadays as they were a few years
ago. I do not doubt a carnation by
any other name would smell as bad;
not that I have anything against
carnations, but somehow their ghast
ly aroma always gives me the guilti
est feeling as though I should have
tried some other treatment.
"This Is what our family doctor
found." writes one correspondent
"Cystocele. Rectocele, Endocervlcltls,
Flbromyomata. What do these terms
mean? He said that all her organs
had fallen, and an operation would
probably be necessary to give any per
manent relief. Patient had a major
operation 10 years ago and does not
want to undergo another. ..."
The correspondent asks whether I
think an operation Is advisable In the
case described, and whether It would
be a dangerous operation. These are
question whloh I can't answer. How
can I or any physician form an opln
trouble or the advisability of an op
eration without having examined the
patient?
I doubt that It would help the suf
ferer if I were to define the medical
terms the doctor perpetrated. Even
the dumbest of us or the healthiest
will worry a little bit If he finds, say
by having an X-ray examination be
cause It Is bargain day for such ex
aminations, that his stomach or kid
ney Is sagging or falling loose. It
Is better for one's peace of mind and
health to be vague about such every
day troubles. Doesn't Improve the
function of the sagging organ to keep
your conscious mind focused on it.
Par better to know that your stom

Just how many centimeters or fln
gerbreadths It has fallen. Anyway, a
good many of us have such fallen
organs and never know It. .

MILITARY TRAINING IN SCHOOLS
By
George L. Berry
President of tbe International Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants'
Union of North America
The term "Military Training In
Schools" has developed a state of
mind in many quarters that the pur
pose of using Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps in schools was to militar
ise the school and the students there
of in America and In consequence of
of this state of mind considerable op
position presents itself. Much of the
oppositions come from well-meaning
patriotic citizens. Prom other sources
criticisms arise that are ulterior in
their classification.
The American Legion's advocacy
for military training, and let us call
it that, in the schools of our coun
try is an attitude of frankness that
Is deserving of the most sympathetic
consideration of all. It Is proposed
that the boys of today, the citizens
of tomorrow, shall have the benefit
of some understanding of the neces
sity of self-protect ion, and with this
when fined 1179 for driving an auto
mobile while drunk.
This country must apparently rely
on the gangsters to exterminate each
other.
-
Europe has decided not to pay
their American war debts, offering
"good moral reasons" for the welch
ing. Our European friends also pro
pose "a war on the United States
tariff". The conference at Lausanne
plans united action to compel us to
reduce tariff rates.
Oermany develops an Interesting
Idea, In the threat to "declare a
moratorium" on glgantlo private
debts owed In the United State, un
less this country wilt agree to cancel
all war debts. European gratitude
for the help in the war la new. In

There Is nothing very serious tn the
several conditions enumerated In the
doctor's diagnosis. Plenty of women
enjoy life In spite of Just such con
ditions. Whether surgical repair or
treatment is necessary depends on
tbe degree of trouble In the individual
case, the patient's age and general
status.
Nowadays, with more and more lay
men becoming more and more en
lightened about health matters and
pathology, the doctor who still perpe
trates imposing medical terms with
out particular reason and without
translating his funny Latin or Greek
into the parlance of the patient
merely makes himself ridiculous and
Impresses nobody. The day of bom
bast is over. The doctor who knows
his business speaks In the language
of the present day. The greater the
doctor the simpler his language.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
We Cannot Quote Prices
Will you kindly recommend for me

Answer, I cannot give any infor
mation concerning costs, prices or
fees In any case.
How to Grow
I am 19 years old, and weigh only
123 stripped, 63 Inches tall. Is it
possible to increase my height by eat
ing any particular kind of food or
taking any medicine? At the age
of 14 years I had to go to work to
help support the family and my first
Job kept me at It 13 hours a day six
days a week and I have been work
ing steadily ever since, although on
easier Jobs. Would that account for
my stunted growth? (O. H. B.)
Ans. I think the hard work may
have interfered with growth. If you
find any food or medicine which in
creases stature, let me know. I d
like to add a cubit or two myself.
Read yesterday's article about the
boy who want to be a soldlfr.
Water In the Ear
I do much swimming and diving.
I wear ear stoppers but nevertheless
water gets Into my ears and makes
them sore at times; It seems to settle
in the tube leading from the ear to
the throat. Is this likely to cause
serious, trouble? (R. O.)
Ans- It is. Try wearing loose
packings of lamb's wool In the ears
to keep out water. The greatest dan
ger is In swimming in pools patron
ised by many persons. It Is advis
able to keep water out of the nose,
too. Some experienced swimmers pre
fer to wear a spring clip to keep the
nostrils closed, breathing only thru
the mouth.

that they shall profit physically as
well as mentally by the training at
tendant to such public Instructions
in the schools of our country.
The development of a war spirit,
which must not be associated with
the military training in schools,
comes not In consequence of develop
ing the facilities of self-protection
but from political and economic in
justices, and li political and eco
nomic injustices become intolerable,
then a man'a ability to defend him
self could not be considered a lia
bility but to the contrary a very
definite asset.
There ought to be enough social
order, economic Justice and religious
influence to control the spirit of
war without seeking the establish
ment of a state of helplessness on the
part of 4he citizens of tomorrow. It
is my opinion, therefore, that the
Reserve Officers Training Corps in
school la and aid not only in the
education of the youth of our land
but is a direct contribution to their
physical well-being and offers ad
vantages In the furtherance of citi
zenship service.

HUNTING, FISHING
PORTLAND. Ore, June 21. (AP)
Expenditure of 17500 to begin work
of rehabilitating the Sandy river as
a trout fishing stream has been
authorized by the Oregon statt game
commission.
The principal work to be done Is
the construction of a dam near the
mouth of the river to wash away
sand that has collected and which
has acted as an obstruction to the
fish.
Harvey Morelsnd, clerk, told the
game commission receipts from hunt

the total receipts for the year would
be 10 to IS per oent below normal.

To the Editor:
I waa a stranger passing through
Medford this week and I bought one
of your papers dated June 14.
X liked your editorial, "Why not
Talk Sense." very much and want to
compliment you for it. You express
ed my sentiments also.
There Is very little difference be
tween the two major parties; both
have degenerated into a clique that
contracts to run the government dur
ing their term of office usually for
their personal advancement and are
not concerned with the general wel
fare of the nation as a whole. They
have no concrete, clean-cut platform
or plan of action for constructive
betterment. They muddle through J
their term of office like their con- -
vent ions, offering nothing but Inane
platitudes. The marvel of the pres
ent day Is the fact that the average
voter raises no objection. Such do
cility, and gullibility is almost unbe
lievable. I personally am "fed up with It'
and should like to see a third party.
