Helen Keller waa born with about
aa many handicaps aa a human be
ing can have, but lack of courage
waa not among them. So th goes
ahead and works bard and overcomes
her handicaps and becomes world fa
moua. In her experience, there Is a mighty
guod lesson for thoae of us who are
NOT handicapped.
PORTO RICO Is swept by a tropi
cal hurricane that kills more
than 200 people and Injures In ex
cess of a thousand.
Among other losses Is tMt of the
coffee crop of the Island, which was
totally destroyed. It waa the first
commercial coffee crop since the dis
astrous hurricane of 1928, which de
stroyed the trees.
Here In fortunate Southern Oregon
we sometimes complain. Really, we
haven't much to complain about;
now, -have we?
DOWN In Portland, there la a lot
of acandal about the stealing of
recall petitions. Not long ago, also
In Portland, there was another scan
dal about the theft of petitions for
an Initiative bill consolidating the
university and the agricultural col

call petitions had to be left with

county cleric, to be signed volun

Instead of being hawked around the
streets by private peddlers at so much
per name, auch scandals would be
fewer.
NOT only that. 'but such measures
ss got onto the ballot would be
a reflection of genuine populsr de
mand Instead of being, as they often
are now, the vehicle for somebody's
prtvste scheme.
UP AT the university and agricul
tural college they are selling
roller skates to students, who are
buying them, of course, as a protest
against the rule banning use of au
tomobiles by students.
It Is a revolutionary thought. In
these modem days, but If college
students would use roller skates
more and motor cars less they would
find their physical development Im
proved and their capalcty for atudy
enlarged.
Their parents, Incidentally, would
find their pursea fatter at the end
of the school year.

In these days It wouldn't make much

Famous War Correspondent
Visits Medford En Route
South Declares Orient
Not Through With Wars
(By Eva Nealon Hamilton.)
"I hate war. don't get the Idea that
I don't, but I would like to go beck
to Manchuria If things get hot."
With that contradictory statement
and a devilishly anticipatory gleam
tn his big blue eye, Floyd Gibbons,
famous war correspondent, addressed
the little crowd that greeted him at
the
Medford airport this aiteroon,
upon hta arrival by plane from Se
attle, en route to San Francisoo, "to
fly around the bay and get more
dope for my Job, all the same as
yours." he added to the reporters.
A -few seconds berore he had as
sured the group that things aren't
ail settled In the Orient, and that
things are apt to "get hot over there
again soon.
, o Time to Prod Orient.
"This is no time for this country
to be sticking pins Into them." he
added, with a serious note in his
voice. "It 1 time for the Pacific
coast to look to Its defense. We have 1
nothing. It is the most poorly de
fended section, and things look hot.
"What "this country needs la air
fields. Not coast guns. That's Civil
war stuff Spanish -American. The
next war will be fought from' the
air. If you haven't fields for land
ing and servicing numbers and num
bers of planes-, you're lost.
"This Is a fine airport," he added
In an aside. "My first trip to Med
ford and It looks beautiful from the
air. Pretty bumpy up there today,
though." Gibbons flung back the
silken scarf, which matched In color
the patch perpetually over his fam
ous left eye. "Hazy, too, but I could
see Medford."
Hit For Radio Speech ....
Complimented upon the hit he
made in hi much discussed Amer
ican Legion speech at Po-tland, Gib
bon laughingly replied, "Yes, and
did I get hit for It?"
The question led to the radio situ
ation and the war correspondent
without hesftance assured the group
that he had received no word from
the federal radio commission and so
far as he has been able to learn the
decision was NBC's, which put him
off the air.
He made no definite statement re
garding whether or not he would
continue broadcasting in the future,
but stated he waa returning to New
York from San Francisco, "back to
the newspaper business," and added
with nonchalance, "After all I have
simply used NBC as my agency."

of a good-natured golfer, almost heavy

good friend, Commander R. E. Dll-

The latter soon replied: "All ready
when you are, captain," and Floyd
Gibbons gave the silk scarf another
swish into his good looking brown
flannel coat, then hesitated to sign
his name for the autograph album
of A. H. Banwell, of Medford. who
has collected autographs over a good

showed signs of his stay in the Orient,
