OBSERVATIONS, ETC.
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.

bub that should inspire any outraged I
oltlsen of long standing, or recently

Is the penalty the Lord Imposes, for
taking things too serious particular

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. '

An old friend called yesterday and

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

in certain cases of uncomplicated
pleurisy coughing can do no good and
on the contrary It stirs up the ln-

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The present one faces a brief and

than half the present cabinet are
holdovers from the Herrlot cabinet,

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.
