It has not been found necessary to hove the courthouse over ' on the mean district attorney, In order to preserve "law and order" In Jackson county, and to make the "demonstra tion" a complete social and political success. The district attorney's of fice has long been a center of vllllfl' cation. This causes the unjust sus picion to arise that a perfect district attorney lurks In the woodpile, ready to make the supreme sacrifice and take the monthly stipend paid dis trict attorneys. The anarony ana ohaos so often mentioned, but to seldom seen, oenters In the belief that the wrong district attorney Is on the Job. A mere reference to the bedeviled official causes a local Je hovah, ' Mussolini and Ohandl to squeal like a tom-cat with nU ta.ll eaught In the door. , ,. -.-. - -. The allegation that Anarchy reigns is far-fetched, or not fetched far enough. Many have the Impression that If Anarchy did prevail, it would put a quietus on the ourrent crop of demagoguery, hokum, hypocrlcy, and . political vaudeville. Anarchy would be e change, and probably a pleasant relief. ... There seems to be considerable dis agreement as to the esaot number of taxpayers at the upheaval. 'The way to discover the number of taxpayers would be to subtract the number if deputy sheriffs, special agents, plain slothes men, from the non-taipayers. The remaining sum would be the ex Bum bar bona fide taxpayers. Some of the taxpayers are not recorded as such. The taxrolls must be wrong. Whether there were 600,. 7S0, 10000, laoO or 3500 taxpayers at the rumpus, the fact remains that an overwhelm ing majority were not present. The last census gave Jackson oounty a population of approximately 89,000. Taking the largest estimate of he "great grand Jury" and deducting same, this leaves 82,500 who belong to she messley petit Jury, , who did not stand In the blrght January sun shine and listen to the re-hashing of the most effective hooey of the late . campaigns. Figuring a bit finer, the county clerk's records show that 14. 080 voted In the fall, subtract the . M00 therefrom, there remains 11,580 Jaeksonians who came not, and neither booed nor cheered. The above figures are produced at considerable lees than $30 per day per auditor, but Just as reliable as a scientific, political and certified audit. t . Therela nothing In the present hub bub that should inspire any outraged I oltlsen of long standing, or recently arrived auto lnargent, to oommlt sui cide or snatch hlmeelf bsldhesded. It Is the penalty the Lord Imposes, for taking things too serious particular ly peanut politics. It will seem funny in five year," If you oan hold out that long. SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 12. Another Trojan football star is in trouble. Gerald Craig, who starred on the TJ. S. C, gridiron several years ago, is in jail accused of offering a detective posing as a gunman $300 to hit his wife over the head with a steel bar, sufficiently hard to interest the nearest undertaker. Gerald, it seems, wanted complete control of Mrs. Craig's $90,000 estate, Instead of that the head jailor has complete control of him. Faced with his wife, Gerald embraced her ardently and cooed Tou don t believe this frame-up nonsense do you, deart" To which dear wife replied, "I certainly do, DARLING 1' , Which only confirms our suspicion that married people who HABITUALLY exchange endearments, usually have something to conceal. Gerald is the third ex-Trojan gridiron Idol to demonstrate that football honors at U. S. C. are not necessarily followed by honors in civil life. That is a nicer way to express it than to say that winning your letter at U. S. C, leads to winning your stripes at San Quentin. "We haven't the police record at hand, but can remember at least three Trojan football men, who took lip crime after graduation. One was a clever holdup man, another a forger on a large scale. This is the first one we recall who aspired to be a murderer, and a particularly yellow and contemptible murderer at that. All of which is interesting, although we doubt if any direct connection between breaking the intercollegiate rules of ama teur sport at Southern Cal, and breaking the laws of the land later, could be established anywhere but on the Stanford campus. But it DOJSS indicate that while one may be too tough to keep out of jail, in Los Angeles, one CAN'T be too tough to play football at U. S. C.I We were invited yesterday to witness a new sport, and today can't even remember the name. It looked like shooting clay pigeons to us, but it is called something else. We are assured that for the older girls it is replacing badminton entirely. There are seven or eight posts set in a semi oircle, and the older girls shoot from these posts, a trifle like clock golf but dnly a trifle. A clay pigeon comes from a trap on one side, then the other, then both together. One of the older girls in a yellow knit ensemble, yellow hair, peaches and cream com plexion, knooked over 20 out of 25. We were assured her husband 1b alive and very happy. Too late to do anything for him probably, but we would suggest that for the sake of the children they have three he increase his life insurance "ACCIDENT" of course. We may be doing the lady a grave injustice, but she looked so business like and went after those clay birds in such a well pitiless fashion. It has been our observation that the man-shooting wives are always BUSINESS LIKE. They may cover it up with a baby lisp and fominine tears, during the trial, but between times or after how clear eyed and realistic they are. Never take an eye from the main chance I Well that was the way the lady in yellow went about it. We muoh preferred her less Bkillful opponent, rather fat and not pretty but so charmingly1 feminine and casual and such a nice giggle. She seldom hit anything or at least any thing in SIGHT and once the gun went right off in her hands the charge kicking up the gravel about 18 inches in front of her No, 10 shoe. This caused a terrific sensation, not only among the contestants but the gallery, we gathered not so much because of the danger as the bad 1 form like sneezing when a man is about to putt, or teeing up in the rough. The scorekeeper in faot a man about 75 we should judge with a nice white mustache well colored along the edges from cigaret smoke damned the lady audibly said she was getting con stantly worse and worse and should be expelled from the club entirely. It was particularly shameful and deolasse we gath ered, to hit nothing at all just explode the powder and shot and wadding right into the .ground. It the lady had hit the Mexican trap boy, or one of the cows on a nearby hill, or even the lady in yellow, we are certain her standing in the elub would have been muoh higher than it was at tea time yesterday afternoon.

The "percussionist" Is nothing but a high toned bass drummer. m m An old friend called yesterday and talked 80 mlns.

Act quickly and this section might get some of the crumbs. SUCH A NICE BOY (narbadnes, W. I., Advocate) Msry Elloock, the housekeeper, said that defendant behaved very we'4 when he first csme back home. He abused his fsther, brother and every one else. He would throw the food from trie table to the yard and smush the wsre. One Sundsy he cams Into the kitchen and threw water In ths fire. He then threatened lo kill the father, brother and her. The prediction, that "everything will be all right after the election" was a dandy for truth and accuracy . Small boys have quit playing mar bles, to give legs opinions, . The boys, with ths exception of their being unable to put the ball into the basket, plsyed good basket ball, being far superior to their op ponents. (Salmon Bar News.) A minor defect, but til main ides. But, to ropeat, we liked her. And we bet her husband likes her, and all the children and the neighbors, who don't belong to the shooting olub. And she has character. The club members were scandalized and terribly put out but she wasn't. She just giggled and missed another bird, in faot our recollection is that on that round she only got five out of twenty-five. But on she went, just as though missing birds or discharging a ahot gun inadvertently as it were, meant nothing in her young life. Not so young of course, but perhaps you get the idea. And that's just it it DIDN'T. There was a young Smith graduate there being "bowed" by a young Princeton graduate very heavy affair we were informed. We thought of telling the young man we would never advise anyone marrying a good shot. However the young lady in question was sweet and pretty and UNBUSINESS-LIKE enough to be a bad one. But we didn't. Not only because SUCH a remark would have been extremely out of place in SUCH a club, but because ANY remark would be. In fact this new sport like most sports has rules. And one of the first ones is silenee in the gallery. BANG I BANG 1 BANG I BANG! double bang and then perhaps as above noted an unexpected bang when everyone had started talking. That's OE for the contestants. But let anyone in the gallery say "It's a beautiful day" or "what do you think of Technocracy" or "did you know Mr. Smith of Schenectady, N. T., by any chance" above a stage whisper and Watch the heads turn, and the eyebrows raise I Silence, if there is any noise to be made in this club the shooting members are to make it and how I Incidentally it oost our good natured friond $1 per round that is what the older girls play for. About equal to badminton at a quarter a game or bridge at a cent a point. Well, we don't like Bhooting as a pastime for our older girls but we don't begrudge those who do like it spending their money that way. It is such a relief to find someone who has it to spend. R. W. R. P. S. Still summer weather, and as BEFITS summer, a nice cyclone yesterday two or three people killed, oil derricks blown down, ships wrecked, houses demolished, et., etc. that is, it was a cyolone to us, but an unusual WIND to Los Angeles. Aside from the horse sense that no medicine can prevent or cure cough In any case, the main objection to most popular 'cough remedies' Is that 'they con tain one or anoth er narcotic, opiate or sedative Ingre dient. Opium, lau lanum, paregoric, codeele, heroin, chloroform, and various modern derivatives of opt- um, are ttie fa miliar sedatives In popular expector-ants. xnese sense-duiiing drugs were originally employed In cough medl- clnes because our anoestors, In their crude way, assumed that It was the cough that produced the Illness. We know It Is the Illness that causes the cough. We know that the Illness goes right on, or even becomes worse. If the cough Is checked or suppressed. xnere are many disease conditions In which cough Is a prominent symp tom. There are many such coughs wnicn snouid be encouraged, stlrou lsted, aided, so far as we can do so by one mesne or another. There are only a few Illnesses associated with coughing In which It Is beneficial to the patient to check or suppress the coughing. Pleurisy Is ons and the early stage of pulmonary tuberculosis is another condition where It Is often to the patient's advantage to avoid unnecessary coughing by the exercise of will power, or In some such esses It may be wise treatment to prescribe a suitable sedative to check the Im pulse to cough. This question Is al ways one to be decided by the Dhv- slclsn In attendance, with careful consideration of the present circum stances. In no case or class of cases Is there any hard and fast rule by which, such an important matter may be decided by the patient or by any one else than the physician who knows the Individual circumstances. Although I am a physician. I'd cough my head off before I'd resort to any medicine to check or diminish coughing on my own. If I had such an Illness. I have learned my lesson. know a doctor who attempts to treat himself has Just as big a fool for a patient as Is the layman who attempts to doctor himself. A sick doctor Is Incapable of using his best Judgment In any case. in certain cases of uncomplicated pleurisy coughing can do no good and on the contrary It stirs up the ln- namea memDrane and tends to In crease the Inflammation. Here, re gardless of the relief or pain, the ad ministration of a suitable opiate or other sedative Is dearly "Indicated," as doctors ssy that Is, It may be ex pected to do good and to do no harm. repeat, only the physician In at tendance, who know the Individual requirements, can safely or Intelli gently prescribe or administer Che cough medicine In such a esse. Pleurisy Is Inflammation of the pleura. The pleura Is the delicate serous membrane lining - each slds of the chest cavity and covering the surface of the lung. The pleura on each side forms a closed sac. with a few spoonfuls of clear serum in It. The serum serves as a lubricant which prevents friction of the lungs on the chest wsu or friction of dif ferent lobes of the lungs on each other. In dry pleurisy opposing surfaces of pleur become adherent from the sticking together of the fibrinous ex. udate. and sometimes these old ad heslons remain for life after the pleurisy attack has been forgotten. In pieunsy with effusion the exudate Is watery and may partly fill the en- tire pleural cavity of one side or both sides, requiring removal by aspira tion. In a few esses the exudate Is purulent and purulent pleurisy Is called empyema. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Look Out They're In a Huddle Expectant mother again, and I have been unable to overcome a dread of consulting a physician, probably from my experience In being passed around a cllnlo of several doctors, all more or less embarrassing. . . . (Mrs. P K.) Answer. If a doctor Is good he practices under his own name and on his own responsibility. It he Is not so good, he can catch business more readUy by going Into a huddle with a number of others and prac ticing under some such Imposing name as "clinic," "Institute," "medi cal service association." I'll be glad to give you the name of a private physician If you enclose with your request a stamped envelope bearing your address. How to Take Salts Some time ago I saw a piece In the paper about taklnk epsom salts for draining the gall bladder. Would appreciate It If you would tell me how to take the salts. I believe mv gall bladder Is the cause of my trou- oie. lairs, m. a.) Ana. It doesnt matter so long as you don't take the salts too seriously. Probably the best result can be ob tained by sneaking upon the salts and suddenly dumping them In the sink before they have time to do any narm. 11 ine piece you saw was mine It contained the Information that such foods as rich milk, cream. butter, egg yolk, fat meats, gravy, bacon, sausage, lard, olive oil cause contraction and drainage of the gall umauer quite as enectively as does salts.

That TECHNOCRACY Question By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON. Reed Smoot, of Utah, dean of the senate, 71 years old January 10, la winding up his last Cures months as a senator In the same manner he has spent the last 30 years on capltol hill with hard work. The fact that he Is on ths Isst lap of an unbroken term of service In the senate that datea from March, 1003, hasn't caused this tall, slender. soft-spoken senator to lessen his pace at ail. Hard work, now as always. Is his rule. Ha still keeps long office hours, and everybody In Washington knows that they are the longest of any senator or representative "on the hill." Nor does work stop when he leaves his orrice. It continues at home. It hss always been a puzzle to those who have watched him dur ing the years how he managea to keep going as he does. Especially was tnis true during his long and seemingly endless fight In the senate on the Bmoot-Hawley tariff bill. Prior to the consideration of that bill, never before had a single man bandied a tariff measure by him self. It had always been appor tioned out among the senators, each member being responsible for a cer tain schedule or portion of a sched ule. Smoot taoklsd the Job alone and saw It through a Job Cast entailed soma 91,000 Items, The bill Itself contained 15 schedules, ths free list, the special provisions and the ad ministrative provisions. He hsd sole charge of debate and was responsible for a oomplete ex planation of every Item and stood on the floor of the eenate every moment that It was up for consider ation. There's a grim doggedness about hlra the result of studying hard before taking a stand and, having taken It, backing It to the limit.

HOLLYWOOD Although the popu larity of old and middle-aged char acter stars continues as expected, with the successes of Marie Dressier, Oeorge Arllss and Lionel Barrymore. among others, the new year seems nxeiy to see greater opportunities extended to youth. No halt In the parade of more experienced character players to the movies can be noted. Henrietta Croa tian is yet to be seen in her first film under her new contract; Alison Sklpworth continues to draw leading assignments; Edna May Oliver Is spotted in principal roles time and again. Yet now there seems to be a dis position also to give the younger generation a chance In pictures In which they do not take positions secondary to older characters. Striking proof of the return of youth to the films Is the elevstlon of Bette Davis to top billing in "Ex Lsdy" Bette Davis who heretofore hss plsyed a variety of roles, but none In whloh she was not subordin ate to some other player. Boots Mallory'a oo-festured status with James Dunn Is another conces sion to youth: the attention Dorothy Wilson la getting marks another; and Patricia Ellis, after one role with Oeorge Arllss. goes Into "Plcture Snatcher" with James Cagney. But for many of the younger play en the screen has turned Ironic prankster. There Is a vogue for films whose action covers several genera tions. So young girls who shine In the bloom of you In earlier eequenoes must dim their beauty under make up for the later.

Editor's Note: This Is the last of six articles giving a new In sight into Technocracy whose pre dictions of possible economic col lspse stsrted a farflung controversy. By I. B. BRACKET!. (Copyright. 1933, by the Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) Imagine hav ing at your command the labor of five times the population of the esrth. Thst, says Technocracy, Is what the United States does have in the form of one billion Installed horsepower If It were fully used. But tt Is not fully used, and so fsr as Technocracy Is concerned, there's the rub. Technocracy, a group of research engineers working at Columbia uni versity under direction of Howard Scott, dramatizes In this statement what It calls the outdistancing by physlcsl science of soclsl science. The nstlon has Increased Its physlcsl ef ficiency In the production of goods without preparing at the same time a social mechanism capable of ac commodating that production. 10 Men Equal One Horsepower What is a billion horsepower? A msn Is abls to do one-tenth horse power In work. Ten men would equal one horsepower. Ten billion men would equal a billion horsepower. World population today Is about 1,800,000,000. Critics of Technocracy, however. hold the statement of "one billion Installed horsepower" misleading. W. W. Hay, an engineer, says that there are 70,000.000 horsepower In station ary engines In the United States that the other 030,000,000 are In mobUe horsepower locomotives, automobiles motorcycles and so on. The 70,000,- 000 figure Is the one, he says, thst has chiefly to do with the Increase In Industrial efficiency. Of this 70,000,000, Hay says, 9,000,. 000 Is lost In transmission and an other large proportion is used for il lumination, so thst only about 85, 000,000 Is available for manufacturing production. It Is manufacturing pro duction thst Technocracy has found most of Its evidences of mechanical advance. Social Changes Cited. Technocracy, In holding that the nation's increased ability to use power has developed far ahead of social abil ity to put It to good use, also finds disagreement. Critics bold that the social mech anism hss. in fact, been radically changed In the past hundred years. that It had to change to permit the remarkable development so fsr seen. As examples of Important social change there are cited: The concen tratlon of Industrial plants, mergers of big business, new power In the hands of government, and new popu lation groupings. As further evidence that there has been grest change Is seen In the forthcoming pubUcstlon of 13 vol umes by the committee on recent so cial trends. 1 NO. MACHINES AND SOCIETY gsuMMiNo TECHNOCRACY NEW YORK (AP) Here 1 a aynopals of Technocracy' basic opin ion, contrasted with what other thinker on the machine age believe: ITS CRITICS SAY: TECHNOCRACY SAYS: Machine lncreaalog unemploy ment; maximum Industrial em ployment reached In 1918; de clined since despite greater produc tion. Machine more necessary than Debt proving too burdensome for Industrial mechanism. Total debt now 1218,000,000,000. increasing faster than production. Present money system not accu rate measure; energy units instead of gold or other commodity needed as exchange medium. Present social system too slow for speedy advance of machine snd science. Technocracy's figures on this point Include only manufacturing Industry, not transportation and other service industries which have Increased employment. Impossible to say how much debt Industry can carry; debt can be reduced; total debt now about $165,000,000,000. Energy units also Inaccurate. Technocracy's statistics on amount of energy production differ from other sources. Society always lags; It Is matter of opinion that lag Is extremely dangerous.

Barnum plans to build a trolley Una to Jacksonville. The chances are good for a parade of short-lived ministries In France. The present one faces a brief and troubled existence. Paul-Boncour Is politically weak; and the unsatisfac tory financial situation makes his position very difficult. Besides, more than half the present cabinet are holdovers from the Herrlot cabinet, IB out of 29. . The majority favors payment of the American debt and the situation doesn't make for har mony. No one knows whether French public opinion can be swung around. Paul-Boncour cannot count on the full support of either the radicals or the socialists, as could Herrlot. Also he has to fight the prejudices of the conservatives. Up until last year Paul-Boncour was listed as a socialist, but his leanings toward left-wing nationalism and militarism have left him without a real party. Ths new Belgian Broquevllle min istry Is also In a precarious position. It la a coalition of Catholics and Socialists. Neither party was keen to participate. The ministerial factions will get together on financial prob- lebs, but will probably split on other serious questions which will come up later. The Catholics oppose the policy of militarism and the "defensive" Franco-Belgian agreements. Other bones of contention are subsidies for public schools and many Issues aris ing from the dual language problem. Secret treaties between general staffs are still the nightmare of Eu ropean friends of peace. The covenant of the league pro vides that all treaties between mem bers be registered at Geneva, but there are still plenty of private mili tary agreements not on record. The secret military accord between France and Poland which was on the point of falling through last September " Is an example. It was never sub mitted either to the parliaments or the ministries of either nation. At Geneva as always nothing la known about It. DECLARES FRIEND PORTLAND, Ore.. Jsn. 13.

Remember Only Medicine Helps A Sore Throat Modern medical science now throws an entirely new light on sore throat. A way that eases the pain, rawness and irritation in as little as two 01 three minutes. Results are among the most extraordinary in medical science. On doctors' advice, millions are fol lowing this way . . . discarding old time 'washes' and "antiseptics." For it has been found that only medi cine can help a sore throat. Simple To Do. All yon do is criwh and dissolve three BAYER Aspirin Tablets in half a glass of water. Gargle with it twice as pictured above. If you have any indication of a cold before gar gling take 2 Bayer Aspirin Tablets with a full glass of water. This is to combat any signs of cold that have gone into your system. Keep on taking if cold has a "hold." For GenuineBayerAspirinwill not harm you. Your doctor will tell you, it does not depress the heart Get a box of 12 or a bottle of 100 at any drug store. Reduces Infection, Eases Pain Instantly. Gargling with Bayer Aspirin will do three things: Relieve soreness at once. Allay inflamma tion. AND reduce infection; which is the important thing in fighting a sore throat. It requires medicine like BAY ER ASPIRIN to do these things!
