As one of the leading mer chants remarked to the writer, This welcome change in the a happenstance. There was a reason. With the harvesting of the fruit crop, thousands of dollars have been paid workers, and those thousands of dollars are Just as one good turn deserves another; so one good day deserves another. As the harvesting of the pear crop continues, more money will be placed in If the pear market improves the California pears, and improved trade conditions in the East it SHOULD, then there will be a succession of good days, and the fall of 1032 will be one of county in many years. A lib that is needed to attain attitude of mind, on the normal we don't mean any artificial whooping-up of the depart ed boom propoganda, for that the desirability if it COULD of needless doubta and fears, an conditions justify. XSTIIAT are those actual conditions? The buyers strike, which has prostrated business for so long, is over; not because any miracle has been performed, but because the buyers strike has worn itself out. Retail stocks have become depleted, just as, for the individual, the necessities of life have become ex hausted. As a result the people have the retailers have started buying. This demand for goods, has opened some factories, and increased working hours and force, in other factories. One of the largest textile factories in the Middlewest, opened up two weeks ago, on a 24 hour shift, for the first time in two years. Therefore prices have started to rise. This in turn, has stimulated buying, for immediate pur chases have meant, taking advantage of low prices that are certain to become higher. 1VJ0 one could complete a 5000 mile journey across the country ' and back, as the present writer has done, and not be im pressed by one overwhelming, EVERYONE IS FEELING BETTER 1 With hundreds of thousands still unemployed, with relief work still demanded to avoid actual suffering and destitution, one is at first inclined to doubt that this better feeling is warranted. Nevertheless it IS. It IS, because of the facts noted above ; it is because this country hit rock bottom last July, because the last of that month the worm at last turned, and material condi tions have been improving ever since. They will continue to improve, because of this condition alone. Not because so many because EVERYONE IS FEELING BETTER. That means a now psychology. And just its the psycholog ical factor is an important factor in starting a depression, a change in it is the essential factor in ending it. , QO in view of that good day last Saturday, and in view of the better feeling, from one coast of the country to the other, the time has oome for the people of this community, and every other, to throw off their habiliments of gloom, and fore bodings of disaster, and by entering into this new psychology whole-heartedly, not only insure its continuance, but enjoy its MAXIMUM benefits. Give Dr. Kerr a Chance lVJOW that Dr. Kerr has been appointed chancellor in our new system of higher education, and Ihe long conflict that has torn our Institutions of higher learning asunder, is over, we hope the warring factions will get together, bury the hatchet, and give Dr. Kerr that wholo-hcartcd support, which ANY success, in the administration of his new office, domands. "With the college year about to open, the supremely impor tant thing is peace. "Without peace, nothing can be done; with peace, everything oan be done. Many good friends of the University of Oregon, particu larly among the alumni opposed Dr. Kerr's "appointment. This was natural. Because of his long affiliation with a rival insti tution, 0. S. C, they felt he could not be fair, to their own. THE Mail Tribune believes he CAN be. The Mail Tribune believes he is a big enough man, to administer the affairs of higher education ifi this state, not only capably, but fairly, giving a square deal to all, speoial considerations to none. AT ANY RATE, now that the appointment HAS BEEN MADE, the only thing for all true friends of higher education in this state to do, is to stop fighting, reserve judgment for or against, in other words, GIVE DR. KERR A CHANCE. GIVEN a fair chance, if he fails, he will have only himself to blutne; denied a fair chance, the responsibility for failure would rest directly upon those unwilling to let bygones be bygones, and place the welfare of state education, above all factional and personal considerations.

Also, new in Spain, unfaithful hus bands and wives are to be punished equally, no favors for the husband.

I wanted to treat him, urged, pleaded and threatened, but, no, he would have none of it. At the time I believed I did my full duty. I of fered to operate on the patient. He feared opera tions. He didn't relish the Idea of taking an anesthetic. He had a com plex In respect to hospitals. And he had always weathered his attacks somehow before, so he elected to worry along through this one with out benefit of surgery. And I finally gave up, washed my hands of the matter, Informed his relatives I could not be responsible If the present Ill ness ended fatally, and we all sat back to wait. We waited two weeks. Then the man died. Now this patient was an Ignorant man, not Just ordinarily Ignorant as are most laymen, that Is, ignorant of anatomy, physiology, hygiene and pathology- He was so Ignorant .at he was superstitious and mulish: when he got a notion Into his head It so filled hut head that there was no room left for any reasoning or Intelligent thought. So you couldn't tell him anything that did not co incide with his notions. The sort of Ignorance that Irks. I was Ignorant, too. Had I been better Informed I might have saved my patient In spite of himself. But my education had been sadly neg lected. Nobody had ever told me that It Is feasible to offer such a patient an alternative treatment. Of course, I had heard vaguely of the practice of certain quacks who pretended to treat hemorrhoids successfully by "non-surgical" methods, and even to cure the trouble without requiring the patient to enter a hospital or give up his work or regular occupa tion for several weeks. But the fact that only quacks or doctors of no repute gave such treatments sufficed to convince me It was unsatisfactory or dangerous treatment otherwise reputable physicians or specialists would use such treatment at least In some cases. to Chicago for the fair next spring, solemnly promising "we shell have beer, legal, plenty and well made." There Is no doubt that Chicago will have beer for the exposition legal or not. To Chicago, as elsewhere, Ring Lard- ner's remark, "prohibition is better than no beer or whiskey" applies.

In reality. If only we were smart enough to handle It right, over-production would be a BLESSING. Over-production means simply PLENTY OF EVERYTHING that peo ple want. If we can Just learn how to scatter this abundance of every thing around, ao that everybody win have his share, we shall find that over-production, Instead of something to be afraid of, la the finest thing that ever happened to us. THE five-day week, about which w are hearing ao much Just now, is merely an effort to divide up. among all of Us the work that Is to be done, so that everybody may have his share of the plenty that actually exists. If we can do that, we need no longer fear over-production. Instead, we shall WELCOME It. BLAZE DESTROYS LA ORANDE. Ore.. Sept.

Had I been as far ahead of my time In practice as some of my friends say I am in my health teaching. 1 might have offered my patient Injec tion treatment and no doubt he would have accepted such treatment I believe It would have restored him to good health. Lots of people not quite so Ignor ant as was my patient are Ignorant enough to die of hemorrhoids. Here Is a case where the patient almost achieved such an end: N. had suffered with Internal hem orrhoids for eight years, frequent bleeding and consequent loss of strength, until finally he was un able to walk without assistance. Hem orrhoids frequently prolapsed, became strangulated, bled profusely. Pati ent's hemoglobin reduced to 30 per cent. He was pale.

BI.AKES1.EB (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK (AP Although so many scientists are trying to find out the nature of the cosmic ray that It pge news in the world's dally narjers. a t . known already.

The rays first were detected about 18 years ago In Europe. Electroscope record them. When bne makes a di rect hit on an atom of the atmos phere. It causes an electrical disturb, ance called lonltatlon. This lonlra tlon can be measured almost atom by atom and lso turned Into sound. So Instruments have been mad which record the passage of cosmic rays with a series of clicking sounds. This sound path even has been charted: and It. too. shows the rays coming from overhead. Information thus far gleaned Indi cates they are useful to man. Neon lights probably would not work with out their constant electrification of the gases in these tubes. Dr. MUlikan has discovered that they are a sensitive and accurate In dicator of atmospheric pressure. That Is an element In westher forecasting. PORTLAND. Sept. 8.
