XSTIIAT are those actual conditions? The buyers strike, which
has prostrated business for so long, is over; not because

as, for the individual, the necessities of life have become ex

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

certain to become higher.

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.

MODERN TREATMENT OF
One I had a patient but I didn't
know how to treat him, and so he
died, of hemmorholds. .
The truth Is
that I didn't treat
him at all. 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

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.

A COMMON AFFLICTION
Today reputable physicians and
specialists do give Injection treat
ment for hemorrhoids and other re
lated conditions, without detaining
the patient from ordinary activities,
without danger, without general anes
thesia, and with uniformly satisfac
tory results.
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. Pulse rate fast
even when he lay at rest, in fact,
he had been unable to remain on bis
feet since the last prolapse, strangu
lation and bleeding a few daya be

N. received the injection treatment,
two of the pllea being injected the
first day (the two the doctor thought
were the worst bleeders), and two on
opposite sides the fourth day. That
was all. Two weeks later the hemo
globin was up to SO per cent, no
more bleeding, weight Increasing . . .

The rays first were detected about

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.

lights probably would not work with

the gases in these tubes.
Dr. MUlikan has discovered that
they are a sensitive and accurate In
