Reason : plenty of water but not plenty of money. Everyone, generally speaking, is broke. And water is on a meter basis. Good busi ness is good times. Not so good in bnd. With green grass around everything would look better, and everyone feel that way. "I shouldn't have shot poor Joe. It was a dirty trick and I am sorry." Thus spake Mrs. Dorothy Pollak, pretty brunette, 26 years old, in Chicago yesterday morning according to the "greatest newspaper in the world." This must be consoling to Joe. How much better he must feel than if she had said, "I am glad I killed him, the dirty rat." ' "When I get out of this mess" adds pretty Mrs. Pollak, "I will probably go into the beauty, culture business." That will Je nice. Joe who loft her $100,000 as a result of his profitable alcohol racket, will be pleased to learn his wife intends to be self supporting. Chicago appears to be run ning true to form. Coming back to the old home town is something like visiting a museum, where you select and classify your own exhibits. "There is where Old Man Sanford lived, Time would have dubbed him early Victor ian tycoon. It's now a tire shop and service station The Lane mansion still standing, but roof badly in need of repair.

Kelth-Ml'iler, Australian filer and former aviation partner of Captain W. N. Lancaster, testified at the for mer British army viator'-, murder trial today that Lancaster had con templated suicide in order that she and Haden Clarke, her fiance, might receive 91.000 from his Insurance pol icy on their wedding day. Called aa a witness for the prose cution In Its efforts to prove Csp taln Lancaster killed Clarke, a young writer. In a love triangle, the avla trlx said the men quarreled over her affections at dinner tn night before Clarke was shot at her home. They settled their differences, however, she said, after Olarke admitted Lancas ter's accusation that he had been un faithful to the former army filer In making love to her. Kept IMor Locked. Her voice broke aa ahe spoke of locking the door ot her room upon returning that night. - "Why did you lock the door!" Stat Attorney H. Vernon Hawthorne asked. " Muse Haden told me he did not want that (Lancaster) to come to my room and talk me out of our marriage plans," ah responded. Mrs. Kelth-MUler said Lancaster hurried home from a business trip to at. louis alter learning ahe and Clarke had become betrothed, as the youth wrote her memoir which she hoped to sell. "Mi.

All gone now, still part of the barn is used by the boarders in the Manny-mansion-de-luxe boarding house, as a garage. Among things that have im proved over the gay ninety period is the Rock river, that still flows gently to the Missis sippi, still looks beautiful with in its wooded banks from a distance, but not so beautiful close to, In the old days it had something more than an an cient and a fishy smell the odor during the summer dog days, was enough to drive a dog mad. But today there is a large and expensive sewage disposal plant in Rockford, put in by the way by Samuel Gree ly, the Chicago engineer who surveyed the Medford situation and Bear Creek. As a result the flower gardens along the river have a chance, so have the kids who want to swim, so have the noses of the inhabi tants. The city fathers never made a better investment, in health, civio self respect and beauty. The sporting editor of a Rockford newspaper boosts the Western golf amateur tourna ment to be held in Rockford during August as follows: "Word comes from the Pa cific coast that two of the put standing golfers in the Far West, Don Moe and H. Chand ler Egan of Oregon will com pete for the title. Chandler Egan who lives in Medford, recently won the northwest title at the age of 50 (sic I) he is an ex western and national, title holder and is headed for high honors this year. He will play with bis brother, Brad shaw and his nephew Bill of Chicago. It also has been learned Charles Sever, Stan ford university football player will be on hand, with his father Charles, Sr., a sterling perfor mer, and director of the West ern golf association." Chan has apparently been keeping something from his Medford admirers. It was known he had a golfing cousin, Walter Egan of Chicago and Carmel, but Brother Bradshaw and nephew Bill, as stars of the golf world are something new. Walter should come to Rock ford also and put on an Egan family foursome. Captain Lancaster?" Hawthorne ask ed. Intended to Marry Him. "You can't be engaged to a person who la married," she replied. "I al ways Intended to murry him for al most live years. "Were you Infatuated with Haden when Lancaster left her on March SI" Hawthorne Inquired. "No, I changed my mind rater. I advised Bill (Lancaster) by latter sent to St. Louis, and so did Haden. We read each others' letters before they were mailed." She said Lancaster was sad upon his return from St. Louis because of her engagement to Clark and told her he planned to kill himself in an airplane so she would benefit from his Insurance. Later, he learned the insurance company had failed and he aban doned she plan, ahe added. Policeman Earl Hudson quoted Lancaster aa saying on one occasion that Clark had contracted a dis ease and It was preying on his mind The oificer recalled Lancaster In sisted Clarke committed suicide and suggested the disease might hav led mm to It. , PORTLAND.

"I'm sorry I cant aay anything definitely now." he explained, "but I Wish to consider the matter further " Scott has been asked by the other commissioners, I. B. Aldrlch of Pen dleton and Carl a. Washhurna of Vii. gene, to resume his place on t.h board and assist in carrying out the exvensir program tn commission has before It.

There is a Borah mystery and it is about politics. The able senator from Idaho has made his choice for president and will not tell the name of his choice. It is not Hoover, hot Roosevelt and not Upshaw, the prohibi tion candidate. Of course it is not Thomas, socialist candi date, although Thomas used to be a clergyman, is extremely intelligent and absolutely hon est. Senator Borah is hard on the platform work of his Re publican conferees, saying, "I don't think any more of its economic planks than I do of its prohibition plank." You must for yourself, guess his choice for president. - Mr. Knudsen, of Detroit, head of the Chevrolet company, and -Aylea-worth, boas of National Broadcasting, eating TET7 LE VEAU A LA VINAI GRETTE at New York's Rita Carlton Hotel yesterday, decided that better times are coming back. NOT around the corner, but marching up the street. W. R. Hearst, who publishes news papers, agrees with them. He says 1933 will be a good year. Tht writer aharea the reticence of Brer Tarbaby, but hopes for the best. It la a fact the news la more hopeful than It has been In two yeara past. , One thing la sure and there la comfort In It. The depression hss not depressed American athletes, for they are smashing records and allow ing competing visiting foreigner to see what they have not seen in war, the back of many Americans. If you can arrange It, attend those Olymplo gamea at Los Angelea. This I written on the way there, via Chi cago, Oakland and San Francisco. All in one trip, this aununer, you may see six thousand miles of your coun try, going and coming, site the games, the Paclfio ocean, and, as Mr. West- brook Pegler Justly observes, Investi gate many marvellous opportunities for real estate Investment. On such a trip you may learn much about politics and form opinions as to what will happen in November. This column deals with facts, not opinions, so you will be spared any reading of the future. John H. Ferry, who la on this Twentieth Century train, says "It all dependa a good deal on foolish things that the candidates do NOT say. In three months, a candidate can talk himself out of a 100-to-t shot." So says Mr. Perry, Vho owns newspapera In many place, Includ ing Jacksonville, Florida, and other cities. Ha adds, by the way, that Jackson ville hopes to make enough out ot Its publicly owned light and power plant and other natural monopolies, to free Jacksonville of taxation, as has been don In various cities ot Kansas and some other states. President Hoover Is preparing plans for promotion of the five-day work ing week, the "flexible week," It la called. It la believed that the five day plan would provide Jobs for three million men now Idle. At the beginning, of course, the five-day man would get a five-day salary. But one the five-day week la established. It will b a week a well paid as the six-day weak used to be, Just a the eight-hour day Is aa well and better paid In good times now than the old ten-hour day. If you are ahort of money, occa sionally, your Unci Sam can sympa thize with you. In July he took In 383.390,830 leas than the amount he needed and his deficit for the month was 183,000,000 greater than In July last year. We are running an expensive coun try, expensive state, city and village governments. Eventually, Americana will be compelled to take a real In terest In their government. Germany, with half our population, casta as many vote aa an caat In the United State. . That tells the story of American Indifference. Important newa for railroad men. Victor A.

We regular doctors are be ginning to learn physiology. Now adays we enter tain and foster no delusions that It Is possible to fed a patient In this way when the natural In gestion of food la Interrupted. To be eure. It la still ft com " mon practice to administer saline solution (salt dis solved in water) by this method. We know that water la freely ab sorbed from the colon or large In testine. Possibly some salt dissolved In water la absorbed. Among eur geoiu wbo, aa a class, are generally pretty dumb and unskilled In the science and art of therapeutics or treatment other than operative, It Is customary to add some dextrose or glucose to the water administered by enema. This la done on the theory that some glucose or dextrose Is ab sorbed from the large bowel Into the blood. Recent Investigation of the question has failed to furnish satis factory proof that glucose or dex trose so administered Is absorbed. Accurate scientific tests show no ap preciable Increase In the amount of dextrose in the blood after the careful administration of enemas containing various amounts of dex trose In solution. Most of the sugar so administered was recovered from the dejecta after the lapse of 3' hours. But not all of It. The In vestigators concluded that a small quantity of the dextrose in the enema may be carried to the upper part of the large bowel by reverse peristalsis, and remain there to undergo slow fermentation or later return to the lower part of the colon. The practical conclusion we must draw from these precise studies Is that the practice of administering glucose or dextrose In enemas Is of questionable value so far as the nourishment of the patient Is con cerned, though It may be as useful as are enemas of salt solution tor providing needed water to the body. . For our particular purpose the lesson to be drawn from these physi ological facts la a simple one and a sound one: We need never worry about the absorption of any harm ful waste products, alleged poisons or real poisons of any kind from the large Intestine. Such a thing can happen In the presence of grave pathological lesions or Injuries, of course, but not In the circumstances of every-day life. Don't lt the charlatans, the hum bug diet experts and the fancy nos trum exploiters get your goat. When they get onto the line about the "toxins' or "products of putrefaca- tlon" which they would have you think responsible for Imaginary "au. The time is not far away when surface passenger travel will be moved In cars of duralumlnum, weighing less than their load of pas sengers, utilizing the railroads' price less right of way, at ISO miles an hour and faster, AND THE RAIL ROADS WILL PAT. - Calvin Cooltdp.e say he favors a general sales tax, also that relying n heavy taxation on large incomes will either make depression chronic, or put the government Into the hands of the "wealthy." , It was In their hands pretty thor oughly while our boom and our "wealthy" were still with us. At present they remind you of the "De struction of Sennaoherlb." "The might ot the gentile, unsmote by the sword, "Hath melted, tike snow In the glance of the lord." Our "wealthy" ' have melted like snow in the glance of the depression. Labor may as well know that until we raise a new crop of rich men to start labor - employing enterprises, times will be bad under our system, and we are not prepared for th Rus slsn system yet. Also, the "wealthy," If we ever get them back, will not put their money Into enterprise that employ labor as long as the government continues to take 8 per cent of the PROFITS, If they win, and leave them all of the LOSSES It they lose. I fSF PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3. (AP) , Confronted with one ot the most puzzling cases of persistent Intrusion they have ever known Portland po- 1 lice today set about In earnest to entrap a mysterious prowler who for a month has molested the family of Veryl Humphreys In an East Side ree Identtal section. Several nights a week for "the past i month the Intruder haa stalked ! about the grounds av night, peered through windows, knocked on the ; side of the house, pried screens or : windows loose, and otherwise alarmed ' the occupants, A climax was reached Monday right when he tossed a burning paper torch . through a window w,Mch he had bra- ; ken on a previous visit with the noule of a garden hose. j Humphreys told police ne has not ! even a remote Idea 10 to the reason back ol tn depredation. tointoxtcation," give 'em a bla horse laugb and ask them to cite the scien tific authority for their vicious teaching. They'll be stumped there. tho of course they can rattle off all kinds of names If you let 'em give you mere opinions of arbitrary assertions In lieu of scientific facta. This is my last word on the sub ject for the present. I hope these little lessons in physiology will help some of you glum birds who have taken the old quack line too seri ously. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The Dentist Who Couldn't Eat Eggs. I failed to see the logic In your article about the Dentist Who Couldn't Eat Eggs. If there Is albu men In the urine doesn't that ahow the patient can't metabolize such food, Just as sugar in the urine shows the diabetic can't metabolize carbohydrates? Who has proved it absurd to cut down the Intake of albuminous food In such a case? M. h. Answer The point is that no one has shown that there is any such relation as you surmise between the Intake of albuminous or nitrogenous food and the presence of albumen In the urine. On the contrary we know that patients whose urine con tains albumen can and do metabolize or utilize eggs, meats and milk and cheese without particular difficulty and as a rule should not try to avoid such food. The absurdity In the case of the dentist lies In his ready assumption that his little knowledge is sufficient. I printed the article because I fancied many laymen have similar misconceptions. There Is a csrtaln class of laymen, wiseacres, a I call them, who will not and can not learn that the old theory thrt meat eating or the use of nitrogenous food in the diet Is hard on the kidneys , has been discarded because It haa proved false. Students Need Physical Training. One' fellow In our class says that every morning on rising he notices a sudden wave of dizziness. On his mentioning this It developed that most of the members of the class have a similar experience. Has it any significance? M. W. Answer The pulse rate of a nor mal person Is 20 beats lnxthe min ute greater In the erect posture than when he lies down. The blood pres. sure, too. Is Increased. If the heart and circulation Is .Inefficient, the sudden standing from the horizontal posture is more likely to distress one. Perhaps the young persons who notice the slight dizziness should devote more attention to getting physical training. However, normal adults may feel momentarily dizzy on such sudden rising. Sit on edge of bed and lean down as to lace your shoe a moment first. (Copyright, John P. Dllle Co.)

Tailing condition. The Inability of the people to meet their obltgatlone was stressed along with the city's need ot tbe payments. Under th plan agreed upon the delinquent assessments will be paid In monthly or quarterly Installments (the first Installment to be applied to the in terest) not to extend over a period or more than three years. i Rev. W. R. Er.ton, pastor of the. Baptist church, appeared before th council, representing the churches of the city, and asked again that th churches be relinquished from pay ment of city assessments. The mat ter was referred to a commute, oucn a request was made by the churches several years ago and Mayor Wilson last night expressed doubt that It would be granted.
