IN Sunday's issue the Mail Tribune started a new feature
which' we believe will prove of genuine and increasing inter
est to our readers.
The first article was a discussion of the foreign debt situa
tion by Frank Simonds, who is generally recognized as the
leading American authority on this subject.
There will be subsequent articles by Mr. Simonds, not only
on war debts but on various phases of international relations
and foreign politics.
TT7ITH the opening of congress today, and a new' administra-
tion coming into power March 4th next, the attention not
only of this country, but of the entire -world will be focused
upon Washington, D. C. It is hardly an exaggeration to main
tain, that what IS, and what is NOT done, in Washington dur
ing the next year or two, will dctcrmino the immediate fate of
this harassed and turbulent planet of ours.
This new service will provide for the readers of the Mail
Tribune the inside story of what is actually going on, and what
is being planned, by those in authority at the scat of our gov
ernment. Mr. Paul Mallon, who occupies much the same position in
domestic politics that Frank Simonds does in international poli
tics, will conduct this department and we arc certain that what
be offers will be of intense interest to the readers of this news
paper. XT EXT to Washington in importance comes New York city,
" ' and the "low-down" on our modern Babylon will be sup
plied by another newspaper man who knows his New York as
do few men in his profession, James McMulIin. The important
subject of American business, the stock market, the ins and outs
of the economic whirligig, will be handled by Dawson Spurrier,
and Richard Waldo, recognized experts in that direction.
In short the Mail Tribune is to give its readers the benefit
of the best expert knowledge on domestic and foreign condi
tions, that can be obtained, and at a time in this country's hiB-
j tory when we believe, such knowledge is of greater importance
than at any previous time.

1J Q. WELLS who undoubtedly possesses the most versatile
' and active mind in the world today, has evolved a plan
to pull the world out of its present tnilspin.
The interesting feature of this plan is not so much what it
advocates as what it DOESN'T. As a former socialist and con
firmed radical, one might expect Mr. Wells to favor the Russian
experiment of communism.
Far from it. He not only spurns this idea, but condemns it,
declares Russia has demonstrated that communism, not only
won't work, but that it will make human conditions worse in
stead of better.
He also denounces such expedients as have been adopted in
Italy and rocently in Germany, dictatorships backed by the
armies and police, which have established law and order, but
have destroyed free speech, a free press, in short eliminated
essential human liberties.
"In other words Mr. Wells knocks out tho extremists on both
sides of the fence the extreme rights and the extreme lefts.
e o o s o
IJIS substitute in general terms is a scientific PLANNING,
supported by a true internationalism, the scaling UP of
human service and scaling DOWN of material and personal
profits.
117E have a pious idea that Mr. Wells has the right slant on
T what Is wrong with the world, excessive nationalism, a
mad, destructive struggle for profits, but we seriously doubt
he has evolved any practical method of doing away with either.
As we view it the human race oan never be lifted out Of one
system and placed in another, as a steer might be pulled out of
one box CHr, nud placed in another.
Human destiny doesn't work that way or at least never
has. We believe radical changes arc coming, and we also bolieve
they are coming in the direction Mr. Wells predicts, but they
are coming not through international conferences, but through
evolution, not a matter of days or years, but a matter of
generations and ages.
Because the world is out of joint temporarily some think the
change the new deal is coming ovornight. But it isn't. The
world will snap out of it one of tlisce days, and the changes
will come as a matter of GROWTH, not as a matter of transplanting.

DO VOI R WINTER BASKINU IN THE NOSE-OI'EMNG BAYS.
Leonard Hill, the English physlolo
gist who has done so much to clarify
our Ideas about fresh air, foul air
and ventilation,
has recently
found that the
rays from an elec
tric fire or dark
source of heat
produce c o n gea
tlon of the nose
and ft feeling of
stuffiness in per
sons who have a
deflected septum
or some other
chronic nasal obstruction.
Hilt believes the prickly sort of heat
one feels on facing an electric fire Is
due to these "nose closing" rays,
which he says may be screened out
by a aheet of glass between the fire,
and the skin, but not oy ceuopnane
or gelatin.
Then the physiologist finds that
other rays, which he calls - "nose
opening rays" are given off by an
ordinary incandescent lamp and pass
through glass, and these "nose open
ing" rays counteract the effects of
the "nose closing" rays.
He further observes that if the akin
Is wet with perspiration It Is pro
tected against the "nose closing" rays.
The same effect la produced by the
vapors that rise from ft bowl of water
set In front of the electric fire. .
Glass absorbs most of the ''nose
closing" rays and permits the "nose
opening" rays to pftss through. Hill
says the "nose opening" rays belong
to a group between 20,000 and 30,000
angstroms In the region of the short
Infra-red rays.
Sources of heat such as the open
fire or gas fire are pleasant largely
because they give off plenty, of the
"nose opening" rays.
The suggestion to place a bowl of
water In front of the electric heater,
In order that the water vapor may
shut off the "nose closing" rays and
let the "nose -opening" rays pass thru,
Is In line with the standard practice
of evaporating water In artificially
heated atmosphere. Much of the dis
comfort and 111 health caused by over
heated air, "foul" air, "vitiated" air,
etc.. Is due to the excessive dryness
produced by stove or furnace heating.
In the ordinary dwelling during the
months when artificial heating Is
necessary, many gallons of water
should be evaporated dally, two or
three gallons for each room, and
when this Is done a household tem
perature of 68 degrees or lens will
be found as comfortable as 70 de
grees or higher in the dwelling where
the air Is very dry.
In order to evaporate a sufficient
quantity of water It Is necessary either
to have a special humidifying system
built into the house, or else have
open reservoirs of water on or behind

To the Editor:
We, In company with most of the

quences of our own mistakes. Wc

yet many homes lack conveniences
and people still live In slums.
We have superseded nature. We
have defied the laws of gravitation.
We have "made Iron on the water

ties from producer to consumer x

We are Inharmonious with our
neighbors. ' We pounce upon Russia,
whose lot has been hard. Her coun
try la vast and cold and mostly un
productive; she has no good harbors,
and the rivers flow from the centers
of population. She was ruled for
years by despotlo Gears. Few of her
people were literate; but during the
war some of the Russians got out
and mixed with the neighbors. They
went home with the intention of Im
proving their lot. They began edu
cating their people, sowing and reap
ing, making automobiles and air
planes. Russia wanted to catch up
with the Jones. Like many quick
rich people, Russia has done some
strutting and bragging. They got
high-toned about their music; they
welcomed our symphony orchestras
but barred our Jaaia from their radios.
Some of the most enthusiastic, like
fanatics with a newly acquired re
ligion, set out to convert the world.
Why should we gt all ruffled up
over Russia's adventure? Their form
of government may look a bit radical
to us, but no more so than did ours
to the people of the 18th century.
We have done some experimenting,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Do Young and Be Young.
Quite a while ago you had some
thing In your column about the
health value of somersaults. I cut
it out, Intending to try It out, but
somehow It was mislaid , , , I have a
childish enjoyment In such things.

Victim of Nervons Imposition.

my chief reasons for taking the paper,
I am married into a family of neu
rotics and your opinion of them gives
me utmost delight . . . A. O. B.
Answer It Is the victims of ner
vous Imposition that deserve our sym
pathy. The friends, brothers. Bisters,
associates, children or parents are
the real sufferers.
First Five Day Are Hardest.
I read several times the pamphlet
you sent me and I believed what you
contend could be accomplished. I
went along all right for two months
never taking a laxative. Then one
day my bowels did not seem to func
tion. I waited two days, until I de
veloped a severe headache, and then
I had to resort to an enema and phy
sic, which gave me immediate relief.
L. R. L.
Answer It Is a question of psychol
ogy. As long as you believe head
ache can be so relieved you will be
lieve It la Caused that way, and you
can't break the physio or constipa
tion habit. As long as you believe
headache Is so caused, you will prob
ably feel rotten whenever there Is any
little notion In your mind that your
bowel does not seem to function
for you will get an anxiety headache.
That Is why I say In the booklet
(copy of which will be mailed any
victim of the habit who sends a dime
and a stamped envelope bearing his
address) "The first five days are the
hardest." If you're going to become
panicky and imagine you're in for
some dire sickness after two or three
days. bettr not try to break your old
granny habit.

His announcement was published
In all afternoon papers and In the

He announced then that he had

Local Mandates Only. .
The underlying truth of the sttua
tlon Is plain. Congressmen are elect

ing what may be a local majority.
They are not Interested In national
mandates to the exclusion of their
local Interests.

That Is why It takes all this Jockey
ing around before you can get action.
A two-thirds majority In both houses

passage of a beer bill.
It will take careful leadership to
get them around to voting on It.
At the end both propositions will

Dencit Pill Coated.
The treasury has been sugar-coat
ing Its deficit pill In the downstairs
kitchen the past few days.
It will look fine when they get
through. It may even taste good when
you take your first bite. You will
find In the end the bitterness of a
deficit of upwards of a billion and
a quarter dollars cannot be dlsguisea.
The budget win be served on con
gress so fast It may take three or tour
days to figure tt out. It took the
experts longer than that to concoct
It.
Unexpectedly strong economies hve
been forced on the departments dur
ing the culinary phenagllng. The
budget of the navy department was
sent privately back to Secretary
Adams three times By the White
House.
Each time the department was told
to cut more.
Japan Throw, Scare.
The Japanese situation waa behind
General MacArthur's recommendation
for an Increase in our army.
There should be no harm In dis
closing here that his figures were
based on needs for land defenses on
the west coast and tn our Pacific
lelsnds. At least they were what he
conceived to be minimum needs. They
were purely for defensive purposes.
That does not mean there Is any
necessity for the Increase. Cool heads
here are not troubled about the pos
sibility of the United States becom
ing involved In war In the Pacific.
Our present policy of aloofness ought
to keep us out of difficulties.
Another thing about MacArthur's
larger army Is that he only recently
returned from survey of military
forces In Europe. He knows as well
as everyone else In the inner groups
here that a Europeen war is even
more possible than a Par Eastern con
flict. Tou will find when the war
department appropriation bill Is made
public shortly that the economies
were effected almost wholly in non
mllltary actlvltlee of the depertment.
Everyone here agrees this is no time
to cut defenses, although they may
not agree on enlargements.

building at pourth and Bartlett to 32
South Bartlett, remembered by most
Medford residents as a miniature golf
course. Inadequacy of the building
la given as the principal reason for
moving.-
With the moving of headquarters,
the Salvation Army will give up the
shelter for transients which has here
tofore been one of their Important
activities, but will provide a few beds
for worthy transient women and fam
ilies. They will also do local family
relief, according to Captain Oalllhue.
Lack of funds and lack of room
prevent continuation of the men's
shelter which has been free at all
times with no ticket or any restric
tion necessary,
Police Chief Clatous McCredle of the
local police who has been sending
transient men to the Salvation Army
shelter, when Interviewed today said
that a place for transients must be
available and that the present shelter
would be kept open at least until
some other arrangement can be made
for such need. He also pointed out
It offers the most economical means
of caring for the transient.
Chief McCredle further explained
that he would continue as heretofore
to send women 'or families to the
Pour Square Gospel which has been
for some time cooperating with the
police force In the care of any such
cases brought to their attention.
It was brought out, however, that
the average Inexperienced penniless
transient does not make himself
known to the police, especially wom
en, or men with families, because of
a natural ahrlnklng from the usual
Mea, of police aid, that of being shel
tered over night In the Jail.
The local Lion's club committee In
charge of the relief kitchen, which
occupies a wing of the present Salva
tion Army building, through Its
chairman, C. S. Stuart, announced
today that It would make every effort
to see that the present shelter Is kept
open as Its location adjoining the
relief kitchen brings It into close
relation with the operation of the
relief work undertaken already by the
Lions club.
