Ye Smudge Pot By Arthoi Pen? tha "Hunasr March ers" at Washington. D. 0 that they be allowed to parade 1 conJUntng. I doth appear, from the press du patchss, that the desire to parade to stronger than the desire to eat. People who have had Ught or exton lve experience with hunger, testify that the lost thing they oared to do, while gripped by hunger, was to pa rade. They had but one passion: via, to eradicate the wrinkles from their abdomens nothing else mattered not even a parade. The hunger strick en are prone to exhibit their starva tion, be It small or large. Your corr. In a younger and giddier day, has missed a few meals, and while thus beset had not -the slightest Inclina tion to parade. The capers of the organised "hunger marchers" In the national capital, causes the suspicion, already current, to grow atronger that mayhap relief Is a racket: that some of the famine Is a "gyp", and that some of the alleged famlne-strlcken are over-working the sympathy of the land. Hardening of the national heart for charity Is noticeable. a There Is not much left of 1933. It might not be a bad Idea In 1838, to eonoentrate the civic gumption on something besides fighting, hating, and general all-around hellralslng. "Hunters were out In force Tuesday after rabbits, Including several coun ty official" (Heppner News.) A good description, and the spirit of the times united. a e e The air Is rended by tha moans of a demsffoglo four-flusher come to the nd of his hooey and rabble-rousing. see LINKS AIIOUT WORRY There are Just two things to worry about. Either you ai-e successful or you are not successful. If you are successful there Is nothing to worry about. If you are not successful, your health Is good or you are sick. If your health Is good, there la nothing to worry about. If you are sick, you are either go ing to get well or die. If you are going to get well, there Is nothing to worry about. If you are going to die, you are either going to heaven or not going to heaven. If you are going to heaven there Is nothing to worry about. If you are going to ths other place, you will be so damn busy shaking hands with old friends, you'll have no time to worry, so WHY WORRY? (Progress). e e J. Cochran Robin flew In from the Applegate yesterday an business. Mr. Robin Is still red-vested and cheerful of warble. "OUR CREDITORS SAY: STRIP TO THB BONE" (Humboldt Index.) Chilly weather for It. Man In his smartness had Invented a machine that does the work of is men In digging a ditch. However, Man has not Invented a coin that will take the place of 116. a Arthur B. Sutherland, Jr., will start Instructing a class In a curse entitled "Effective Bpeaklng." (Rochester, N. Y.. Democrat.) How true) The President's Message PRESIDENT HOOVER'S plea for blinking reform will prob- ably be the portion of his message, most generally endorsed by the American people, regardless of party. The most outstanding failure of the present depression has been the banking system of this country, in contrast with the banking system of England and Canada. The financial and industrial strain in Canada, for example, has been quite as serious as in this country in fact more seri ous for its resources are less and its dependence upon farm prices particularly wheat greater. , But where thousands of banks have toppled over in this country, there hasn't been a bank failure in the Dominion. The reason, briefly, has been the branch banking system prevailing in Canada, and the independent banking system prevailing here. see IN Canada they have only three or four niuin banks for the entire country, but these banks, through authorized branches cover the cities and rural sections, adequately and the smallest bank is just as strong as the largest the chain as strong as the STRONGEST link. In this country, banks have been established in rural sections and particularly in the suburbs of the larger cities which have neither been able to supply the legitimeto banking needs of their communities in normal times; nor to stand the first strain of a financial crisis, when normil times departed. The Federal Reserve helped its members, but it dismally failed to protect the national banking system, as it was designed to do. Certainly the time has come for the United States to take a leaf from the banking book of the British empire, and evolve a system that answers the commercial and financial needs of modern days, not only in times of prosperity, but in times of stress and strain. Garner Gets a Bad Start """ACTUS JACK" GARNER certainly pulled a boner yester- day. Aa speaker of the house, he must have known his repeal bill would be defeated. He should have withdrawn it, therefore, and waited for a more propititious time, for the crucial test. Not only is this defeat a serious blow to Garner's personal prestige, but it complicates the entire prohibition question, and increases the dangers confronting genuine prohibition reform, immeasurably. FOR Roosevelt's running mate now declares he will work for beer before Christmas. There is little likelihood of securing this, but In all probability, beer WILL be Icgnlized before next March. This will involve nullification on one hand, and threaten confusion worse confounded on the other. It will let down the bars to a flood of beers and light wines, and render adequate control of hard liquor more difficult than ever. TPHE only hope then for genuine prohibition reform, for; securing a system superior to the present one morally and economically will lie in the sober common sense and good judgment of the American people. This hope appears to us as a slim one. But developments in this state sinoe the repeal of the dry enforcement laws, do justify NOT abandoning hope entirely. For to date, this nullification of the, state constitution, has not resulted in any appreciable increase in drinking, any letting down of the bars of public morality. The people of this state, young and old, have gone about their business, AFTER repeal, very much as they did BEFORE. IF this psychology is a pormanent one, and typical of the ooun- try as a whole, then going about prohibition reform in the WRONG WAT, may not prove as disastrous as first supposed. We certainly hope this view of the situation is the correct one. For if it should prove NOT to be, then sanctioning light wines and beers will load to such excesses and abuses, that there will be a violent publio reaction which will bring back constitu tional prohibition, with a bang; and render genuine reform impossible for at least another generation. Japan Making Hay JAPAN was one of the few participants in the world war, not materially injured by it. . It now appears likely that Japan will be one of the few nations involved in the world depression, that will emerge stronger than when it was drawn in. True, Japan has an unbalanced budget. It is off the gold standard and has a badly depreciated curreucy. But THANKS to its depreciated currency it is underselling America and Eng land in the markets of the world. More than that, it is under selling and outselling America in its own home jiinrket. And during this same period, Japan is slowly but surely conquering Manchuria, erushing Chinese resistance, and con solidating its positions throughout the Far East. There is every reason to believe it has a secret understanding with Soviet Russia and with France. There is also every reason to believe that elever diplomacy in Tokio, aided and abetted by stupid diplomacy in Washington, has isolated the United States, and put Japan in a stronger position internationally than ever be fore in its history. IN a recent Liberty, Count Tolstoi maintained Japan was plain- ly determained to declare war on the United States within the next year or so. This appeals to us as chauvinistic nonsense. We don't believe Japan wants war with this country, any more than this country wants war with Japan. , Why should, it indeed T when without war, except a one sided affair with China, it is getting all it wants. But this muoh is certain, if war SHOULD come, Japan would be ready for it, and the United States wouldn't be. Personal Health Service By William Brady. M.

A body temperature of 103 or 104 de grees F. for hours or daya usually lgnlf.es that the patient la putting up a good fight and henoe la likely to win the battle. A good Illustra tion of the good omen of high fe ver la the case of a child with a sore throat. If the child has a sore throat with feverish symp toms, yet the body temperature does not rise above 102 degrees r., tne probability Is that the child haa dlpththerla and needs an antidote (antitoxin) to help gain a decisive victory. If t,he fever rises to 103 or 104 or 109, the trouble la more likely a simple sore throat or tonsil it la and the child Is quite capable of coping with it unaided. In recent years It has been ob served that persona suffering with certain chronto disabilities have shown a remarkable remission or re covery following some intercurrent fever such as malaria. This has been particularly striking when it happen ed In cases of paresla (general paraly sis of the Insane, softening of the brain). In some Instances these pa tients, completely disabled and con fined in Institutions, .have regained sufficient physical and mental health following an attack of malaria to re aume their former home life and occupation. These observations led to the Inoculation of such patients with malaria (blood from a person ill of malaria), and such treatment, although It Involves considerable risk, has brought about much Im provement in a fair share of cases, little or none In an equal number of cases, and disaster In a few 'cases. Latterly other methods of Induc ing sharp fever .have been Introduced, methoda the physician can - control and hence employ without serious danger. One method of producing brief fe-; ver is the hypodermic injection of sterile solutions of peptone or other; protein substances. This glvea con siderable benefit in many cases of chronic arthritis, asthma and chronic encephalitis. Other methods are by hot baths, by diathermy, by radlothermy. These demand expert care and are employ ed only In well-equipped hospitals or other institutions where the special attendance can be had. i Doctors have a word for it pyrexia therapy, which means treat-1 ment by fever. It is no panacea and gives quite disappointing results In many cases where It Is tried. But there are a good many persons suf ferlng with chronlo or long endur ing disabilities who can be definitely ! helped or Improved by some such I treatment. i Here are some of the conditions ! which have responded favorably to ! pyrexia therapy or artificial fever: ! Intractable asthma, paresis, various mental derangements of young and old with excitement, encephalitis ("sleeping sickness") with Parkinson ian tremor, chronlo arthritis, sciatica In alcoholic delirium (delirium tre mens) an hour or two of artificial fever is the moat effective treatment we have, and brlnga the patient out of the delirium with remarkable promptness. QUESTION! AND ANSWERS The Hoy Rebels My 7-year-old ton refuses to eat' any kind of cooked cereal. He gags If we force him to take any. A well known diet specialist advised that some cooked cereal should be given him every morning. (Mrs. B. H.) '"Answer. I don't blame the boy. If he prefers to take his cereal raw, or In the form of bread or biscuit or rolls or cookies or crackers or cakes, it Is all right. Soap Stones What do you think of an oil for gallstones? I took one treatment of (a ridiculous humbug), and seemed to feel better; It brought away a lot of green gummy pebbles. I know a party , . . (F. j. j.) Ans. Yes, there are enough of them In the country to make a party. The "pebbles" are soapy lumps pro duced by the action of alkali on the oil. This Is an old "gallstone" trick formerly played by traveling fakers and carttall specialists who arrived In town Saturday night to clean the hired man's wages. Any fairly healthy person would notice a similar effect from a large dose of any oil (col ored and flavored perhaps) especially if the oil Is followed by some alkali or salts. E.ve-Wn)h. On account of blackheads I have to scrub my face three times a day with soap and water and often my eyes are Irritated. . . . (J. p.) Ans. Bathe eyes with warm water containing teaspoonful of salt to the pint. (Copyright, JoJhn F. Dllte Co.)

Jenkins' Comment (Continued trom Pane One LET'S take still another look at the French. Next Rfter this country, they have the biggest gold reserve In the world. Their money Is Just as sound as the American dollar, because It has AMPLE GOLD behind It. They could psy us, In GOLD, what they owe us, meeting the install ments on their debt as they fall due, without shsklng the value of the franc so much as a penny. JUT what are the French doing? - Why, they are crying to high heaven about the heartlessness of these wicked and grasping Americans, who first saved them from a certain and terrible licking at the hands of Germany, then GAVE THEM OUT BIOHT the railroads and docks and the other physical equipment accu mulated during the fighting of the war, then gave them that part of their debt represented by the actual fighting of the war and now ask only the repayment of what they borrowed AFTER the war. There's certainly a great difference between the French and the British In their attitude toward us.

Christmas Seal Autobiography In Clever Cartoon A forceful cartoon, "the Autobiog raphy of a Christmas Seal" depict ing the many needs of Chrlstmal seal funds, appears on the editorial page of today's Mall Tribune. This cartoon, furnished through the courtesy of W. M. Tungman, managing editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, was created by Karl Blechschmldt of that city. Mr. Blechschmldt made this drawing as his contribution to the great seal cause and the Modern Engraving Company, a Eugene concern, made the original nine cuts. Mr. Blechschmldt was employed as a painter at the Southern Pacific shops back In the dim distant days when times were good and In those times he amused himself and his companions by drawing funny "whirl igigs." "Health service means a lot to those who are really out of luck," says the Eugene artist. When pilots of sixteen United Air Lines planes flying the night sched ules completed their runs at Med ford and elsewhere over the country this morning that company achieved the record of being the first air line In the world to chalk up 60,000.000 miles of flying with air mall, pas sengers and express. The mileage was recorded on the Seattle-Med ford -San Diego, Pacific Northwest-Salt Lake City, Pacific Coast-New York, and Chicago -Dal las routes. As another rec ord, the company has comfted 38, 000,000 miles of night flying, declared to be more than that recorded by air lines of eight European nations com bined. In setting the record mileage Unit ed Planes have carried 10.000 tons of air mall, hundreds of tons of air express and approximately 376.000 passengers. Medford has been a large contributor to this volume. As it starts out on Its second 60, 000.000 miles, the company Is plan ning to Increase Its present flying of approximately 14000,000 miles a year, with delivery after the first of the year of the fleet of new-type, all metal, low-wing, twin-engined trans ports being built by the Boeing Air plane Company of Seattle, according to P. G. Johnson, president of the United Air Lines. HARRISBURG, Pa.. Dec. .
