The most opprobrious title it can conjure up against the Mail Tribune, at the present writing is "grandmother." Considering the source, this is highly complimentary. Con sidering what it has called most ford, particularly those who columns, this is a compliment. Considering the epithets it has burled at the members of the service clubs, the bar associa tion and practically every worth while organization in Southern Oregon, the past few years, "grandmother" is nothing short of fulsome flattery, yiEERE was a time when the Mail Tribune was the predatory press, the subsidized press, the Medford gang press, and all sorts of presses, ranging from hints of corruption to down right skullduggery. ' But now the Mail Tribune is only a GRANDMOTHER. We thank our competitor for this sudden show of consideration and change of heart. 1 We don't know that such a revered and respectable title is deserved, but under the circumstances, we would be the last, to spurn or resent it. In fact our experience with grandmothers and grand' fathers too has been rather a pleasant one. They have paid their bills, had a kindly feeling for others, and Bhown a remark able keenness in discriminating between the genuine and the bogus, in detecting truth from falsehood. What some of them may have lacked in fire and spryness, they have made up in maturity of thought and soundness of judgment. We have always liked them, if there is no complaint from them, in the admission of a news paper, which is only 25 years of age, to their circle, there will certainly be no complaint from us. fV course, because of our trusting. There MAT be some grandmothers in the Med ford gang, perhaps some of them have cancelled their sub scriptions or refused to advertise, in which case of course, a mud-slinging blast against the grandmothers and grandfathers of Southern Oregon is next on the News agenda. But in lieu of such an outcome, we are going to accept the more kindly and generous attitude of the News toward this newspaper in the spirit in which it is undoubtedly accorded; accept it as evidence that our esteemed contemporary, will here after choose the epithets it hurls in this direction, with more discrimination, and a higher regard for the truth. We Congratulate the News "THERE is more evidence that the News has had a change of heart. About a week ago, for example, the News comment ed upon affidavits of prejudice against Judge Norton as fol lows: "Bight affidavits of prejudice have been filed by local , litigants against Circuit Judge Harry D. Norton, during the past few weeks. As far as local attorney can determine, never In the history of jurisprudence In Jackson county have so many affidavits of prejudice been filed against a circuit Judge in so short a time. The affidavits are described as a wholesale laek of confidence." But this morning, in commenting upon the.fact that Attor ney M. 0. Wilkins has filed ANOTHER affidavit of prejudice, our always reliable contemporary makes the following state ment: An affidavit of prejudice was filed In circuit court against Judge Harry D. Norton, M the libel action of F. A. Bates, mlnsr, against the Medford Mall Tribune for $100,000. Attorney M. O. Wllklns, representing Bates, filed the affidavit of prejudice. Wllklns charged, In his affidavit, that since the Mall Tri bune was supporting Judge Norton In the recall proceedings now against him, that any attorney would be slack in his duty who would not safeguard his clients by having the case trans ferred. The prejudice affidavit filed yesterday Is the seventh affidavit . of prejudice that has been filed: against Judge Norton In the past 60 days. Quite r transformation in the short space of one week, brethren I Eight affidavits a week ago. One has been added since. And now there are SEVEN 1 pONGRATULATIONS! This may not be good arithmetic, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. Continuing the process, the News will soon discover, that in the past 60 days, all the affidavits of prejudice against Judge Norton, have been filed by one man, i. e., M. O. Wilkiui, the independent candidate for District Attorney. And as one affidavit added to eight, makes seven, six more affidavits will obviously reduce this totnl to ONE. We will then have one affidavit filed by one man, which still docs not accord with "grandmothers" arithmetic, but does give the people a very accurate picture of what this "affidavits of prejudice" propoganda of the News really MEANS. For clearly nine affidavits of prejudice against Judge Nor ton by one man, only represents the prejudice and animus of ONE MAN. Q. E. D. We congratulate the News both on its change of heart and on its truth Revealing system of arithmetic! Not Bad For the News fP course there are a few mis-statements in this last comment on the affidavits of prejudice, but all things are relative, and compared with other statements of the morning paper, this represents a great improvement, another step in the right direction. The news states Mr. Wilkins, CHARGED IN HIS AFFI DAVIT, that since the Mail Tribune was supporting Judge Norton in the recall proceedings now against him, that any attorney would be slack in his duty, who would not safeguard his clients by having such a case transferred." This is entirely untrue. The Mail Tribune was served with a copy of the Wilkins affidavit. It is the regular form used in all such cases, of which the following is the kernel; The aforesaid Judge Is prejudiced against tha plaintiff and his attorney, and that such attorney on oath aays thst ths plaintiff cannot havs a fair and Impartial trial before ssld Judge, that this affidavit ... Is not for the purpose of delay, etc. That is all. Not a word in the AFFIDAVIT that the News put INTO it. Anyone who doubts this can examine the affidavit on file at the county clerk's office, and have all doubts removed. But as such things go, we repeat, the Nows is doing better! of the leading citizens of Med' refused to advertise in its both our own and others. And advancing yearsfwe may be too Today By Arthur Brisbane The Soul of Wit. Twelve to Six, Those Twins Not Siamese, Our Trouble Is Sin. Copyright King Features Synd., Ine Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, will make one campaign speech, in In dianapolis October 17, advocat ing the election of President Hoover, of course. She is a "good Republican." She will hardly make a shorter speech than one made by the daughter of former Gov ernor Smith, when he ran in 1928. Miss Smith said "I hope you will all vote for father," and said no more. Mrs. Longworth might say "My father would vote for President Hoover", that would be ONE word shorter than Miss Smith's speech. The great event of 1932, in the estimation of millions of Americans started yesterday, when the Yankees of New York beat the Cubs of Chicago by 12 to 6 on a muddy field. Baseball Is definite, If you under stand It. It has Its heroes, their names known to millions. Politics Is vague with candidates Instead of heroes. Forty thousand paid to watch Babe Ruth and the others yesterday. How many would pay to hear any or all of the candidates? Daisy and Violet Hilton apply for naturalization papers In Chicago. You are surprised to learn that, born In England, they are the ladles known to the world as "the Siamese Twins." Some circus man had a good Idea. "Siamese" added a great deal to those twins. They would be entitled pre sumably to two votes. According to the Rev. Dr. Henry P. Van Dusen, dean of New York's Union Theological Seminary, our depression came, not because we are paying for the big war, not because of over-pro duction, the- wickedness of public utilities, or the unloading of tens of millions of shares of stock represent ing nothing In particular. The whole trouble Is SIN. "Wholesale, unabashed, ruthless sin" Is whst alls us, according to Dr. Van Dusen. We have offended Qod by not believing In him. What a reverend doctor says must be true, but you wonder whether all the millions Idle, all the children suf fering, have sinned sufficiently to deserve what la happening to them. A cable, despatch from Paris to Cyrus H. K. Curtis announces that "plans for a new study of the war debt" arouse enthusiasm In French financial and other circles. The French are delighted to learn that many members of the "war debt com mittee" are also members of the French Legion of Honor. One of them, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Is a grand officer, George W. Wlcfcer sham a commander In the order. That Is Interesting. There ought also to be some members, past mast ers or grand commanders In the great American order of tax payers. Scientist were all excited when a mammoth was found frozen In north ern Ice. The huge creature of ele phant type, with enormous tusks, hair and flesh was perfect, except thst wolves had eaten some of the flesh. More Interesting Is the discovery by Danish scientists In Qreenland of Vlklnga burled and perfectly pre served In the frozen ground of the Island, fully dressed In tight breeches, doubls breasted coats of homespun cloth, no coffins. Frozen bodies of northerners that went to Oreenland six hundred years ago are even more Interesting than the frozen mammoth. Associated Press reporta that "John Ford Darling, noted economist, Im portant banker," fears that "econom'-j attraction" will bring about "the ab sorption of Canada by the United States." Geographical reasons would help the absorption, according to the learned banker, also the fact that "Canada has to pay the United States I150.000.0CO a year Interest." Banker Darling evidently doea not know the Canadians well. They don't intend to be absorbed by anybody, and will continue to pay their debts for which they probably got full value. Some day. far off, Canadians might enter Into equal partnership with the Americans. In the mean while. It Is useful to have so abls a peacemaker and so good a friend on the north.

NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MILK AND BEER In this column recently the con ductor derided the claim that beer is equivalent to milk In food value.1 Since I ridiculed the absurd claim , there have been appearing In many newspapers: letters to the ed-1 ltor, signed In each case by the same name. In which tables of analyses of beer and milk are given, the anal yses being credit ed to Dr. Robert Wahl of Chicago, as made In 1919. In view ot the fact that my name Is used as the occasion for the letter to the paper, It may be well to state the essen tial scientific facts, lest any unin itiated be misled. First, the comparative analyses as credited to Wahl seem fair enough. Milk Beer Carbohydrate (sugar) 4.25 6 Protein (nitrogenous material I 855ft 05 Mineral matter 0.70ft 0.20ft Alcohol : 3-75ft Pat , , 4 05ft Water ...... 87.50ft 90ft Aa the tables are given In the let ter which has been sent to many ed itors, the alcohol Is entered as "equivalent to butter fats In food value." In a personal communica tion the author of the letters writes me that It happened he was a stu dent under Professor Atwater of the Chemistry Department of Wesleyan University In 1900-1001, while the famous experiments with the calori meter were being conducted. o he purports to have first hand Informa tion as to the nature and findings of those experiments. Notwithstanding that, a gram of fat on combustion or oxidization In the body yields 9.4 calories, whereas a gram of alcohol yields only 7.2 calories. Even If all the alcohol In a pint of beer could be oxidized and utilized as a food or a fuel, a source of en ergy or heat in the body. It would yield scarcely 130 calories, whereas all the fat In & .pint of milk, which Is readily oxidized and utilized by the body, yields more than 180 cal ories. The sugar or carbohydrate content of milk and beer may be regarded as practically the same, but the protein content of beer la negligible while the protein of milk la one of the most substantial and complete build ing materials In the human dietary. Ordinary run of the market milk at 5 cents a quart (as It has recently cost) or at 25 cents a quart (as the finest grade, Certified milk, and In some communities goat's milk costs) Is far cheaper and bett. food than the best beer ever brewed, even If the beer could be had for the same price as milk. The truth Is that the human me tabolism can oxidize and utilize as tears, that Russia selling goods here, notably asbestos, uses "unfair prac tice." The Russians come here and sell asbestos for whstever they can get. The asbestos peopu ay so. This "richest, most powerful coun try In the world" refusing to recog nize the Russian government and then crying about Us' trade methods, seems rather ridiculous, especially as we have been "dumping" our surplus of manufactured articles all over the world at prices much lower than our home prices. MYSTERY VEILS FATE OF SHIP'S (Continued noia Page One) son and the coast guard cutter North land reported the Nevada had "broken In three parts." The four men were seen on ths rocks of the Island by the small boat from the Oregon Maru while It was trvlnff to reach shore. Radio mes sages gave no Indication a to whether anyone was seen on tne pinionea anip, or whether others of the crew later reached shore. Early yesterday morning the ore eon Maru nicked up an SOS from the Nevada. Immediately afterward the distressed ship's radio went si lent and for 18 hours the Japanese vessel searched the treacherous North Pacific waters before locating the Ne vada piled on the rocks of the Inhos pitable Aleutian Island. Seas Panrer Lifeboats. At :3 o. m., Inst night a message relayed by the St. Paul Island and Dutch harbor radio stations said the Oregon Maru had taken a position near the Nevadv and shortly after ward reported one of her boat was trvlra to reach shore "but long, high swells make very dangerous." Our boat cannot reach shore, due to hlsh swells." the Japanese freighter later messaged "Return with diffi culty. Boat found four men or more on shore. Awaiting favorable wea thr." At 12:50 . m today (Pacific stand ard time. 7:S0 last night In the Aleu. tlans) the coast guard radio In Se attle reported Intercepting part of a messaee from the President Madison saving "she Is broken In three parts snd four men were seen on the rocks." The Nevada, a freighter of the States Steamship company of Port land, sailed from the Oregon city September 16 with a general cargo for Japanese porta. Brady, BL D. food or fuel or a tissue sparer or a source of heat or energy, only a lim ited quantity of alcohol. Experiments under scientific control Indicate that the maximum an adult can utilize Is something less than 4 c. o. (small teaspoonful) of alcohol In an hour. If more than that maximum Is taken, the excess Is excreted unburned, mainly through the lungs, and It 's readily detected on the subject's breath. Indeed, when the odor of alcohol Is on the breath It Is proof that more has been taken than the body can utilize. Such excess may not be regarded as Intoxication oy the laity or by the law, but scien tifically we must so regard It, since alcohol is a narcotic depressant In Its action on the body. I still deride the intimation that beer compares favorably with milk in food value, and I need not brand this bald assertion that alcohol Is equiv alent to butter fat in food value. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dreams. Is there any way to prevent the occurrence of disturbing dreams every night, it spoils my rest. I am 24. . R. B. Answer Knowledge of Individual circumstances would enable me to offer specific suggestions. Some gen eral suggestions to promote restful sleep: We all dream all the t!me In sleep. We are disturbed by only the more vivid dreams which nearly or quite wake us. If we can recall a dream clearly that indicates our sleep has been shallow. No late eating, drinking or smoking. Enough dally work, play or exercise to produce healthy fatigue. Invest a reasonable sum In high grade, comfortable sleep ing equipment, bed. mattress, springs, covers, living quarters, environment. Sleep, with .the lightest and least cover consistent with comfort. No light In room. No heat. Bowl of crackers and milk, or sandwich or other bedtime lunch, provided you've earned it; no lunch If you're a lazy parasite. Sleep in the position you find most comfortable. If you snore try right or left lateral semi-prone position without pillow or with only a small pillow. Intermarriage. Are the chidren of mixed marriages, that Is, marriages between different nationalities, inferior to the children of marriages between members of the same nation or tribe? One scientist claims they are, and that some far off island where natives had Inter married for years had the finest specimens of humanity . . . M. C. Answer The Isle of Utopia, wasn't It?, Nationality doesn't matter, nor family, nor tribe. If both parents are healthy the children will be healthy specimens. If either parent has any Inherent or constitutional or physical or mental taint or defect, the children are likely to be less vig orous specimens.

William ' Prom the Canadian border down to the Rio Grande, Prom the Rockies' crested peaks to the vast Pacific's strand. Eaoh state of this West Empire hat Its monuments today That betoken a ones grandeur now In desolate decay; Camps and towns that once with activity were rife, Where all was life and action, tu mult, urge and strife; Where men once scrambled wildly In a mad lust for gold, And with a fever tense sought earth's secrets to unfold. Where heterogeneous masses forced life Into the raw , And passion was unbridled and li cense was the law; Where oft the noisy crowd would shout and mill and churn Like a feudal revelry at a conquer or's return; Where each day and the nighttime rang with a riot sound, And men in seething masses like maggots squirmed around; Each day was a frantic rush of a gold-questing throng, Each night was a wild medly of wo men, wine and song. That now Is all a bygone, and those scenes of former days Are stark and spectral phantoms si lent In a langorous haze. Camps sprang up and vanished like the ocean's flying scud. They rose and then subsldod like a mountain's turbid flood. Buildings lie In mouldering heaps, with cracked and crumbling walls, Where rats and squirrels safe abound and the sullen serpent crawls; Where denizens of forest that once circled far and wide Now approach unwarily with Incau tious step and stride. A few have dwindled down to little country towns, Basking In a vanished glory on which modern progress frowns. And near forgotten now their days of former glory That day of hectic turbulence has become a passing story. A few hundred Inhabitants where thousands once were massed In a somnolent repose, dreaming of a day that's passed. Others, with a new baptism, have evolved a modern meln, And march with modern progress like an oriental queen.. How one recalls the past, as one re vives a dream, Vlslonlng the wrecks where ruin reigns supreme. When back In memory's storehouse come surging up anew Scenes wellnlgh forgotten, again springing Into view. Strong men there were and mggM; knowing naught of fear, Men rough and coarse and heedless e'en though death abided near. Yet, underneath that rough outside were sturdy hearts and true As ever throbbed in human breast, and with noble Impulse, too. If want, woe or misfortune brought any one distress, Those hardened men would quickly give the last dollar they'd pos sess; Or perchance some daring deed re quiring pluck and nerve, There 'd be little hesitation eagerly they'd wane to serve. And their respect for pure and virtu ous womanhood Was an inspiration that now would serve us good. And e'en the wanton women, those social castaways, Were ever ready to give aid, scorning any meed of praise. Pate was fickle In those days, as fate has always been; She lifted some to laps of wealth, but frowned on other men. Many a fortune of today owes Itself to some odd freak. Where knowledge was of little worth a drawback, so to speak. Some old relicts have labored on with meager means for years Pull of that optimism that hope for ever rears, And here and there may still be seen an unkempt, grizzled vet, Browsing amidst the ruins, dream ing to "strike It" yet. Nature, which In that heyday, was torn and rent with scars, Is returning to her own, as nations do from wars. Trees and brush that erstwhile were with a ruthless hand Torn and despoiled, have burgeoned a new and virgin stand. Near If not quite obliterating the marks of former rape, As charity transgression's sins often covers with her cape. Birds and beasts have now reclaimed their former rendezvous And old trails re-established the de serted forests through. Shades of a glorious past, what wraith mocks you today I What hollow somberness hovers over your decay! The flash and crash and dazzle live only but as ghosts And a tantalizing silence now haunts your former boasts. You rest on undisturbed with rude epitaphs to mark. An era that has vanished like the ember's dying spark. Your ruins stand a tomb to an epoch now agone And to a surging spirit that Is swift ly passing on. OVER CRITICAL STAGE BOISE, Idsho, Sept. 39.
