CANDIDATES FOE
J
Public Not to Be Permitted
to Lose Sight of Fact New
Congress to Be Elected
In November Balloting
and
By Brron Trie
(Associated Press.)
Ifo matter how much dust may be
raised by the presidential marathon.
ttie public vUl not be permitted dur
ing the next few t:r'J to loee sight
of the fact that a new congress also
la to be elected In November.
The congressional campaign com
mittees are preparing to bring out
the atego guns.
A lot of this activity, of course, la
directed toward personal ends. For
their own sakea, Individually, the Ins
want very much to keep their govern
ment meal tickets and their commit
tee majorities, while for the same
reasons the outs are eager to become
ttie Ins.
Beyond this, however, lies a na
tional stake for each party. No one
knows better than party managers
ttiat- whoever Is elected president will
be at a great disadvantage If he faces
a hostile majority on Capitol Hill,
It Is for this latter reason that the
national organization will be devot
ing Increasing attention from now on
to the campaigns for senate
house.
Democrats Have Edge
No one disputes that so far as the
senate la concerned, the democrats
start with an advantage born of
natural circumstances.
Only one-third of the senate la
elected at a time. The total mem
berahlp Is evenly balanced now be
tween the parties, and of the thirty
odd seats to be filled this year, about
half likewise Is held by each party.
But It so happens that most of the
democratic seats are In normally
democratic territory, while most of
the republican seats are In disputed
territory.
To hold what they have, the demo
Grata need to carry Alabama, Loulsl
ana, Arkansaa, Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri, Mary
land, Arizona, Ohio, Kansas and New
York. The republicans, to hold what
they have, must carry Connecticut,
Colorado, Wisconsin, Iowa, Vermont,
Pennsylvania Illinois, Washington,
New Hampshire, South Dakota, North
Dakota, New Jersey, Nevada, Califor
nia, Utah, Oregon, Idaho and Indi
ana. Only a small percentage of the
democratic seats la contested seri
ously, while virtually all the republl--.
cans seats are under determined at
tack. a. O. V. Trio In Battles
Reports which come over the pollt
Itcal grapevine, for Instance, agree
that as distinguished a republican
trio as Senators Moses, Watson and
Bmoot Is In the midst of campaigns
as hard-fought as any In their whole
Uvea.
When democratic claims are made
gainst auch old-timers as these, the
republican organization takea note
and sends out for reinforcements.
Bitter Campaign Ahead
In the house, the entire member
ship of 435 Is up for election.
The demoorats, In the majority In
the present houss, have made a great
talklng-polnt of the fact that they
already hsve picked up two house
seats In normally republican Maine.
But the republicans are conceding
nothing.
. This all means that a congrea
slonal campaign of more than ordi
nary ferocity Is In the making and
soon will be eweeplng every debatnble
precinct.

(Asoclsted Press Science Editor)
PITTSBURG, Pa. (AP) A new
bandit gas that makea Ita victims
sesslck has been developed here.
It's name la dlphenylamlnechlora-
slne. which means that It Is composed
of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlo
rine and a trace of arsenic. It Is said
to be as harmless as tesr gas, but
capsble of taking the resistance out
of a criminal for about 15 times as
long.
The actual contenta of the "sesslck
bomb" Is not a gas, but a solid, yel
low-green, faintly sromatlo. Upon
bursting, contact with the atmosphere
creates a canary-yellow smoks. The
sniffer of this sneezes, coughs, bS'
comes nauseated and goes through
other experiences of seaslcknes.
J. W. Long, president of ths Fed
eral Laboratories, which developed the
bomb, aays:
"For quite a time following the
world war, crlmlnala had the -upper
hand In using vsrlous Instruments of
warfare that had been uncovered dur
ing the conflict. Science took up the
battle against them with the Idea that
It should be made as bloodless and
harmleea as possible.
"Tear gas was successful In numer-
ous Instances. Now another forward
etep has been taken In making a new
high-speed grenade that holds four
times ss much gas aa those used here,
tofore. and Is but slightly larger. It
la timed to explode almost Instantty,
overcoming- a fault of early gas gre
nades which sometimes were boom
erangs when they were returned
quickly by bandits before having time
to go off.
"These high-powered speed gre
nades also lend themselves to selective
treatment of crime. If It Is Intended
only to put the bandit out of com
mission for 15 to 30 minutes, tear gas
Is used, but If It Is necessary to ex
tend the period of 'hors de combat'
to hours, the sickening -gss csn be
used, which causes nsusea and vomit
ing for five to atx hours. Neither gas
however, leaves any permanent In-
Jury."

Bandits do not have to go to to become seasick now. If they In
hale the fumes from a new bomb developed at Pittsburg, Pa., they will
become naunented and go through all the experiences of BeaMrknesa. The
grenade, containing solid matter, which turns to gas when It hits the air

FULLER PRESENTS
nr.
lL
z
Addressing the bankers of Southern
Oregon st their first monthly gather.
Ing this fall, j. H. Fuller, former sec
retary of Ashland chamber of com
merce, presented facts regarding ths
educational altuatlon In the state and
referred particularly to the Initiative
measure on the bsllot for the com
ing election.
He said that "for years many 'doc
tors' had been operating on the edu
cational Institutions of the state and
that one of the latest of these after
succeeding In putting over on the
state his theory of merging and con
solidation, wss either dlssppolnted
In the nurses selected to care for ths
patient or did not feel that the fee
for his services was sufficiently lsnte
and so lends his name to another 'pre
scription for the patient' of cutting
orr the right arm of the educational
body, taking the big toe out of each
of ths feet of the pstlent. I.e., the
Normal schools at Ashland and La
Grande, and thus generally making
the chap over Into a new fellow.
"Dr. Hector Mcpherson, finding that
many of the more noted 'doctors' dls
a greed with him aa to the need of
a aurglcal operation, desiring con
firmation as to hie own diagnosis,
writes an eminent authority In an
other state. Dr. Joseph Schafer. head
of the Historical Association of Wis
consin and thoroughly acquainted
with the educational problems of Ore
gon for his honest opinion regarding
the diagnosis and prescription the
Zorn-McPherson bill and Dr. Schafer
replies completely disagreeing with
Dr. McPhereon."
Reading from that part of the opin
ion pertaining to Normal schools, Mr.
Fuller showed the present normal
school system hed been evolved after
years of effort and study and that
In the opinion of many experts, like
Dr. Schafer, the plan of decentralized
teacher training normal schools more
nearly met the demsnds of the people
In a large area like the atate of Ore
gon than one school centered with
all the other Institutions of educa
tion in one section of the etate."
S.P.Will Add Car

ist sleeper would be added to Friday
night's train. The train, would leave

urday morning.
CLAIM RAPPED
Refuting the claims of Roger Ball
of CorvaUis, who addressed US Kl
wanla club here Monday and debat
ed Ralph Bailey at the high school
last night before a Urge and enthu
siastic crowd on the subject of the
Zorn-McPherson measure for merg-
lng of the state schools of higher
learning, a telegram was received to
day by John A. Fuller from J, A.
Churchill of Monmouth..
Ball In his address stated that
the Oregon normal schools have been
rated as 47th In the order of effi
ciency. Churchill in his answer
states: "Just talked with State Su
perintendent Howard, who said the
normal schools have never been rated
by the United States bureau of edu
cation In order of efficiency. That
It has not been done by Oregon or
any state or by any agency. The
statement that Oregon rsnks 47th
among the normal schools of the
United States Is absolutely false snd
anyone making such a statement
should be made either to produce bis
authority or be branded a 1 r."

that does not explain why folks

the mildest cigarette. The fact is, we
Dcver overlook the truth that "Nature
in the Raw is Seldom Mild" so
these fine tobaccos, after proper aging
and mellowing, are then given the
benefit of that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the words
"It's toasted". That's why folks ia
every city, town and hamlet say that
Luckies are such mild cigarettes.

years, the story
of the Store was
GROWTH
Physical growth,
growth in size, in
capacity, growth
to a more com
manding space .. .
With the comple
tion of additional

it became appar
ent that growth
thereafter would
have to be inten
sive rather than
extensive; growth
in service, quality,
dependability and
standards of goo'd
taste . . .
So for 22 years
this Store has
grown until now
it is Southern
Oregon's largest
and finest Dept.
