Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthur rerry The Car License Problem f N THIS auto licens matter two things must be done. The financial obligations of the state highway commission MUST BE MET. Car owners who must have their cars to harvest their crops, and can't meet the full license payment at this time MUST BE GIVEN BELIEF. While these two items are more or less conflicting, the sug gestion made in this paper yesterday by Frank Jenkins, that part payments be allowed at this time, at a slightly increased rate, to absorb the added expense of deferred collection, appears to us a good one. SUCH a plan would make it possible for a vast majority of the "business car" owners to retain the use of their cars. The added expense to the state would be met by the increased rate. And the necessity of a general moratorium, which would be taken advantage of by many able to buy their licenses at this time, and thus jeopardize the state highways financial pro gram, WOULD BE REMOVED. We trust Governor Meier will adopt some constructive com promise of this sort, calculated to secure the maximum benefits, at the minimum sacrifice. If matters are merely allowed to drift alon' there is real danger that neither the financial credit of the highway commis sion will be maintained nor the orderly harvesting of the fall crops, be made possible.

XfHV TIMES STAY TOUGH (Salem Statesman) We know of two families In this town. One consists of a husband and wife and numerous children. Last winter this fam ily was one of the Lord's poor and got aid from charity organi sation, boasting now of how they were taken care of. The able-bodied husband will not work this- summer thinks the wsges offered at fruit picking too low and beneath his dignity to accept. The family expects to rely on community charity next winter. a a . The remote prospect of war be tween Oermany, Prance, Russia, need not unduly alarm, for at this writing they don't seem to know definitely Just what they will war about, If anything. They probably figure they better have another war, before they are disarmed by the Dis armament Conference. In such an eventuality, Rueala would furnish the motive, Germany the brains, and Prance La Bulle France the gold. Any munitions, etc etc, etc, furnish ed by America, no doubt will be COD. FOB. PRONTO! Floyd Cook, a prominent Republi can rascal of the metropolla, has come and gone, and did not seem conscious of his rascality.

Rogers and Dawes! rYTHE suggestion in this column Sunday that the Democrats nominate Will Rogers, has met with a surprisingly hearty response. A group of local business men headed by Jno. W. Johnson yesterday sent a wire to the Oregon delegation, strong ly urging such action, and pledging strong support to such a ticket, from members of both parties in Southern Oregon. Last night this action put Medford on the radio map, when the news was broadcast by the Richfield Reporter. Both the Associated and United Press wires handled the Rogers story, and put a Medford date line in practically every daily paper in the country, last night and this morning. . Yesterday and today, by phone and personal visits, scores of men and women have approved of the Mail Tribune's sug gestion, and have declared if the democratic convention would carry it out, party lines in this neck of the woods would be entirely forgotten. AND they would be. No doubt of that. Will would not only be supported with a smile but WITH a will. He would represent the very sort of change people want- the very clearing of the stogy and depressing, political and economie atmosphere, that the people long for. One of the Rogers supporters went a step further, and sug gested that if the Democratic convention refuses to follow the Medford plan (which appears likoly), a third party be formed headed by Will Rogers and General Dawes or Dawes and Rogers he didn't care which. Not a bad idea. England was saved by a coalition govern ment of the two major parties. Why not save the United States in the same wayf Dawes, a good Republican, Rogers a good Democrat. One could do the swearing, the other the wisecracking. But even more important, BOTH could give the country what it needs, freedom from political hooey and antiquated red tape, a new deal and a clean one, based ilpon horse sense realism and enthusiasm, instead of make-belidve, hopeless ob scurantism, and reaction. Throe cheers for Dawes ami Rogers Hip! Hip! HURRAH 1 Today's Guest Editorial Tha Mail Tribune, thanks to tha court my of tha American Legion. U printing a aerlea of guest editor tali written on Important questions of tha day by prominent rltlieni tn various walks or lire. Tha Mnll Tribune offers these editorials aa an Interesting feature but does not necessarily endorse tha sentiments aspressed. great American majority turns for strength to the majestic Faith of Its Fathers. It gains, from a new reflec tion that tha things- that are eternally true, a freshened faltrh and an increased courage. But there are minorities which, from selfish or mis taken motives, seize upon periods of distress with programs tending to de stroy those verities which have stood the teat of time. That we are In a period of unsatis factory buslneu conditions today does not at all Invalidate the finest In stincts in human nature. As a na tion we cannot forsake those things which .have made us strong and great. Indeed, many of our troubles today arise from the temporary de parture of all of us from these basic milestones of life. To say, aa noisy minorities do, that we should aban don the homely virtues learned around the family hearth stone la simply to assert that the ethics of the world have been wrong from the beginning and that other and less unselfish motives must be substituted as the malnsprlnga for human action. Fundamentally sound lnstlncee are born In every child. In the normal home they are fostered and devel oped. Educational systems stimulate and refine them, giving to the indi vidual the ability to understand and to Interpret his relationship to his family, his country, and to others about him. The Citizens Military Training Camps and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps give expression In or derly fashion, to the application of thesce principles among young men In groups. Unconsciously they fur ther Impress upon the youthful mind an organized conception of the Individuals' duties to his country and to his family, while at the same time extending a comradeship of enduring value. To charge that these agencies are militaristic is to repudiate our ancestry and our national history. The necessity for governmental economy Is as great today aa It has ever been during our national life. A few steps have been taken toward reducing the cost of government. That others will have to be adopted is being Increasingly realized. The difficulty In effecting a reduction In governmental expenditures la that practically all of these expenditures benefit some portion of the popula tion. We would be less than human If we did not favor economies, in general, and at the other fellow's ex pense, while at the same time In sisting that we maintain the pro grama which Inure to our Individual benefit. We can easily convince our selves that such monies are being wisely expended. Undoubtedly it is upon this rock that efforts thus far to effect substantial savings have foundered. Now there Is a proposal to effect savings at Vie expense of our agen cies of national defense and national education. People generally are not immediately affected by the Impair ment of strength of a peace time gar rison; nor are many citizens hurt In the pocketbook by the abolition of the R. O. T. o. or of a Citizens' Mili tary Training Camp. There la dan ger that one of the few economies which should be made will be un thinkingly accepted. The simple truth Is that, for rea sons of national defense and for the safeguarding of the primary Ameri can concept of love of country, these two governmental activities should, by every citizen, be placed above and apart from any economy program that he believes the government should undertake. It Is patriotic to renounce an expenditure of tax money from which personal benefit is being' re celved. But the upbuilding of the forces of national defense and of the agenclea Inspiring the highest type of citizenship deserves unqualified support under every circumstance, guessed It, Woodrow Wilson's daugh ter, Mrs. McAdoo.

Mr. Curry glvea Information and asks questions, for Instance: "What would Mr. Hearst think of Bo and So?" The Information, unfortunate ly. Is for private consumption, not for broadcasting. Mr. Aylesworth, head of National Broadcasting Company, telephones: "Can you give us a few minutes this evening to broadcast a resume of the general situation?" The resume would sound like this: "Dear Unseen Audience. I do not know anything about the general sit uation, nor does anyone else." Tomorrow: Wm. John Cooper, V. 8 Commissioner of Education.

Those that know Governor Roose velt believe that no action by the convention would influence his Judg ment in a matter affecting a man's career. But politicians, skeptical, quote the story of the two gentle men, one afraid of a barking dog. Don't you know?" asked one "that a barking dog never bltea?" The other replied i "Tea, I knot It, and you know it, but doea the dog know It?"

In all v.; the troubles mentioned In the title of this article there Is an underlying or predisposing factor. namely, allergy The dickens of trying to explain things In this short space is that one has to explain the mean- ,lng of the terms one must use In explaining things. Allergy is a pe culiar react Ion of the body to the p a r e n teral absorption of a protein substance. No use in trying to explain parente ral and protein now, for that would only bring In some more terms re quiring explanation, and you know there are so many Important things our readers must be told In the paper today. Perhaps you will get the drift of the idea when you re call that certain Individuals suffer from hives when even a minute quantity of any animal serum Is Injected under the skin and others suffer with asthma If they Inhale few specks of horse dander or cat hair or goose feather, and still others get hay fever If they drive past a vacant lot where ragweed Is per mitted to grow wild. In all these Instances the specific protein sub stance Is absorbed through other channels than normal digestion. Probably normal digestion pro duces changes In most protein sub stances which render them inno cuous. Then how shall we account for the severe allergic reaction some Infants have soon after they are fed their first bit of egg albumen? And how account for the hives many victims suffer If they Indulge In this or that food delicacy? Frankly we do not know, but It Is my theory that In every such instance there is some lesion or break In the mu cous membrane of the digestive tract, through which the protein Is ab sorbed unchanged by digestion, some such lesion as a silent duodenal ulcer, an ulcer In the colon or even an anal fissure. Understand clearly I give this as a mere conjecture. Calcium (lime) has something to do with the body's natural defense against such protein poisoning or allergy. If we eat a fair variety of foods, without restriction, particularly milk, cheese, eggs, the greens and fresh vegetables, or calcium (lime) ration will be assured. But then there Is the business of assimilating or utilizing the calcium In our Internal chemistry, nutrition, metabolism. This process Is governed more or less by ductless gland functions, particularly the Internal secretion ; or hormone of the parathyroid gland. 1 And this ductless gland function In turn Is dependent on the vital In fluence of ultra-violet light. At one jump now let us say that aufferers from any .of the complaints men tioned should at all times discard every scrap of clothing or covering the custom and the law allows and absorb all the direct sunshine they can without getting sunburned. Tan Is not the cure, but It Is the surest index of relief from any and all of these allergic conditions. Oh, well, people will have their pill, no matter what. So many sufferers from these peculiar condi tions have reported extraordinary relief from a course of calcium lac tate, that I am Inclined to believe there may be something in it. Any way, it can do no harm, provided it does not upset the stomach. The dose is 10 -grains (In capsule, powder or tablet) three times a day after food with a good drink of water or other beverage, and the medicine should be continued without inter ruption for a period of 10 weeks. If It seems to do good. It Is not a bad plan to have a second course of It later in the year two courses annually. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Error Explained.
