Ye Smudge Pot ..; By Artbnr Perry Several old-fashioned Oregon towns have started plans tor Spring clean ups, In more ways than 1. , . ' CHlcens have started arguing about Technocracy. All agree that It would be all right, If It would work, so no body else would have to. Under Technocracy there would be no hu man fizales. If ft man wont fishing, tie would know before he started, that h to hh (minor to catch what he want- m& to catch. It would eliminate all uncertainty. The Salem Statesman alzes It up this way: t we are living In a psychology , of failure, where the man who has made any success Is viewed as . suspect, a fellow to be looted of hti goods; and where we would ' pamper the- Idle, and extol the destitute. i Technocracy hoias the promise of unlimited loatiwr. Under It there would be nothing to do but stand motionless on the corner and wait for something sweet to happen. " f LET'S 1IAVB ANOTHER, IIICI (Providence, It. I., Journal) Prohibition, to my mind, has served Its purpose, ro to least achieved all that can be expect edfl by ellra natlng the corner saloon. But I amb thoroughly convinced that It can never beenforcer wlthany degree of suc cess o as a measure to prohibit drinking or as a means of rofoim Ing the habits, mirals, atoste and viewpoint of a nation, ' . ..' , Toung America Is being subjected to examinations, In the capitalistic schools, and Old America hereabouts Is also under examination, by upstate critics. We have just been Informed that J, Kort Hall, who 20 yoora ago pre dicted the airplane would never do much flying, and that the tractor would never displace the horse, has endorsed Technocracy. This, coupled with Peoria Bill Gates approval will cook Technocracy, merit or no merit, Miles Martin, in town Friday from til wind blown ranch, says It Is indeed a sorry looking plaoe. (Hepp ner, Ore., News.) Dark clouds lower. Opposition to the General Sales Tax has developed In the legislature. This Is misleading title,, Many think that the Oenerals should be left lone, and the sales taxoa slapped on the 2nd loots, because they were more plentiful. ..- The weather Friday was Ideal, warm he spring. Even the early morning hours, that Is, around 8 o'clock, the air was brisk and pleasant and the sunrise with not a cloud In ins sky, left nothing to be desired. (Umatilla County Kotos.) Not even lower taxes, "People are not spending money for 1033 gusto. Hence there Is leas money being spent." -(Siskiyou s Journal.) Just try and got away from that kind of logic.

The worst that can happen In a ping-pong game is : to get an Impromptu spanking with a ping-pong paddle. In skiing one can break most anything from the neck down, and not H try. The bracing mountain air braces the ! skllers. The plngpongltee have no bracers. Both sexes ski skilfully, but the lady skllers get the worst of It. The male skllers full of bracing mountain air band together, feloni-! ou sly, and wash the rouge off her1 face with snow, and the mascara off her eyebrows, and top off the revelry and playfulness by shoving a pound OS snow down her back.

Good work by the Medford and Ashland Legion posts !. Also by Colonel E. E. Kelly. They give just what the Medford and Jackson county situation needs courageous leadership and outspoken adherence to the funda mental principles of good citizenship. No names were men tioned. What they both said all good oitizens could uncompro misingly endorse. If the shoe fitted certain agitating trouble makers, let. the agitating trouble makers put it on. We con gratulate the two legion posts and Col. Kelly on rendering a genuine public service to a community, which from all we can learn, is sadly confused, disrupted and distressed. These public statements should go far toward clearing the atmosphere, and allowing the right thinking public spirited citizens of the com munity, getting behind a program of forward-looking progress and constructive accomplishment. , The trouble with the situation in Jackson county for many months has been the lack of leadership and the absence of any organized opposition. The job of trying to stop this tiresome and destructive hulabaloo, has devolved entirely upon the news papers. What one 'newspaper may say of another is always discounted, and therefore this have been many citizens willing to condemn this disruptive and incendiary propaganda, in private, but few willing to do it in public, to suffer the villiflcntion and personnl abuse that any public opposition would involve. Colonel Kelly SHOWS. THE up by members of the American zation and individuals will follow their example, not to injure ANYONE, or retard any movement for GENUINE reform that may be needed, but to pull Medford and Jackson county out of the mess in which it has fallen, and allow it to fight its way out of this depression, instead Because of an unexpected and decidedly unwelcome visita tion of Old Man Flu, what was planned as a one night stop in Santa Barbara, has been lengthened into a two weeks stay. As a result this delegation's mail has been wandering all over southern California, and 'its communications have been sadly shattered. But we believe our appraisal of the situation is not far from correct, for unless we are greatly mistaken, the recent crisis, has merely been the logical and inevitable outcome, of what has been going on for so many months in fact for at least two or three years. I , This has been in a few words, the attempt of a small minority, headed by the Banks-Fehl-Wilkins triumvirate, to so capitalize the prevailing unrest and discontent; so aggravate it, by circu lating false charges and distorting facts, that in the resulting ohaos and confusion, they could attain complete political control of Medford and Jackson county. The will-to-power the hope of cashing in on this power has been the milk in the cocoanut the nigger in the woodpile from the start, and is today. , ' We believe the slightest analysis of the latest denouement in this opera bouffe, by any fair minded citizen, will establish the truth of this statement. To an outsider the performance may seem like the ravings of the Mad Hatter, or an excerpt from some comic opera extravaganza, but analysis shows a definite and shrewd purpose behind it all. This is to remove all county officials who will not take orders from the triumvirate. There is absolutely no other explanation to this melodramatic original effort to remove such recently eleoted officials as County Clork Carter, such a rcccutly RE-ELECTED official as District Attorney George Codding, and such a recently AP POINTED official as Commissioner Nealon. " . . Only a little over two months ago the people of Jackson county chose George Codding to serve a second term; they also chose County Clerk Carter, and Commissioner Billinga. Mr. Nenlon, only about two weeks ago, was appointed county com missioner. . It is obvious that in this short time only since the first of the year none of these men in their official capacity, COULD hnve done anything to justify their recall, or to demand their retirement. In fact as far as we can learn no oharges whatever have been brought against them, and for a very good reason because nothing can be said against them. They are all good citizens, honest, conscientious, and devotod to the public interest, Why then this frenzied effort to get rid of them I The answer is plain simply because they would be obstacles to this attompt or any other attempt, of this clique or any other clique, to diotate to them what they should do, or not do to make thorn more rubber stamps, to take their orders day by day, from self appointed dictatorship, THAT'S ALL1 If any of these officials had agreed to do what Mr. Wilkins for example did repudiate their own state ments (aa he did on the Norton recall) agree to be GOOD and play ball, this offort to drive thorn from office would stop overnight. The peorl of Jackson county to this situation now, aa recent developments have opened their eyes to the real nature of the problem confronting them. We believe they are wise at And in spite of the distance from the scene of action, and the inability to be in olose touoh with the day to day developments we feel that the recent statements by the Medford and Ashland Legion posts and "Judge" Kelly, justify this belief. Now let the loyal, right-thinking oitizens of Medford and Jackson county get behind them, follow this leadership a leadership ao greatly nceded-and ALL WILL BE WELL! R. W. K. E WILL BE P.-T. A. TO?

SLEEPING BE It seems evident, from tbe queries that turn up regularly In our cor respondence with people In all walks of life and In every part of the country, that the notion or fancy Is common that one should sleep headed north. For most pop u 1 s r beliefs or fancies one can find some plaus ible reason or e planatlon plaus ible to a layman Ignorant of sci ence. For this persistent Idea that It Is well to head north when sleeping I can discover not the slightest ground. If any of our readers can enlighten me or sug gest a substantial theory to account for the notion, I shall oe grateiui, Here Is a chance to get baog at ne. Sleep Is as deep a mystery to us today as It was to the ancient doc tors. Every little while some half quack "scientist," usually a "research laboratory" worker (and as likely as not subsidized by some big business Interest) discovers and tells the world the secret of sleep. Of the numerous theories that physiologists have conceived to ac count for natural sleep half a, dosen are worthy of mention. 1. Sleep Is brought on by the accumulation of acid waste products in the blood. The main experimental evidence In support of this theory Is the effect produced by Injecting lactic acid or sodium lactate into the blood this produces a state of fatigue and fi nally loss of consciousness. 3. Sleep is due to the exhaustion of the store of oxygen available to the brain cells faster than It can me replaced by oxygen from the blood. This theory Is practically abandoned, since precise measurements of metabolism have shown that the brain cells use an Inslgnlffosnt amount of oxygen, when the Individual does concentrated brain "work." 3. Sleep Is caused by re traction of neurons, the terminal fila ments of nerve fibres by which con tact is made with the brain cell. This bearklng of nerve connections cannot be demonstrated by microscopic ob servation of brain tissue during nat ural sleep, of course. 4. The great Russian physiologist, Pawlow, propos ed the theory of Inhibition to ac count for natural sleep only ft fun damental knowledge of physiology i can make this theory clear. S. Some special toxin formed during waking hours finally accumulates In! Editorial Comment Look O and Laugh. Wlllamlna has its school' fight, Klamath Falls Its mayoralty contest 'and Medford, where the flowers of discord flourish perennial, Is having now its latest blossom of animosity and vlndlctlveness. It seems though cities from time to time must have a ftrst-clasa row which, like thunderstorm, attracts great atten tion, but it Is always followed by ft period of calm. Emulating the late, noted George Joseph, who when dis barred, ran for governor and won, Earl Fehl, editor of a spindly Medford paper and subject of numerous libel suits, sought the county Judgeship last year In a divided field, and came home the winner. Fehl's right bower Is L. A. Banks of the Medford News. Banks has been sued on a half doeen counts, has rowed with one group of em ployes after another, has fought off receivership and attachment. Both men hold to the theory that the best defense Is a good offense and answer charge with countercharge. Fehl and Banks now seek to oust the two com missioners who, sitting with Fehl on the county court, nevertheless op pose him. Apparently the "lunatic fringe" which always appears to help out men who talk loudly and wave the bloodahlrt, are out to aid Fehl and Banks, People away from Med ford look on and laugh, conserva tive Modfordltea deplore the state to which their city has fallen and parti sans on each side attack and defend one another with great seriousness. Time will solve the situation for the Fehl, the Huey Longs, the Hefllns, have their day and are forgotten. Without adequate publicity their day would never come. Coos Bay Times. Grant Pass Goes Forward. Unless we are very careful H Is probabl that tomorrow will find us bewailing the lost opportunities of today. The cttlsens of Grants Pass prefer their new project of beautify ing the approach to their city., on the Redwood highway, to the dubtous pleasures of commiserating one an other upon the depression. It ts a sane and helpful preference, and it Insures progress at a time when retro gression Is the usual watchword. If every city of comparable popu lation were to oease lamenting, and cast about for some useful work ready to Its hand, and begin work ing, most of us would cease dis cussing the depression. For the de pression no longer would exist. It would be banished by the return of Initiative, and hopet and elvtc pride. There can be no depression when you are not depressed. It Is not suggest ed that these opportunities for civic Improvement, such as Grants Pass has embraced, should bespeak con siderable expenditures of money. They need not. These are contributions to the times, and very corrective ones, which can be made by cooperative cttisen shlp In large degree. But thslr com bined effect would certainly express Itself in the stimulation of other en terprises . It has long ago been agreed that the country ts comparable to the patient, organically sound, who lacks enough Interest in his own condition to get well. Ofegonlaa. Patronise home Industry.

Experimentally, blood from young dogs that have been kept awake 30 or more hours, produces somnolence when Injected into the brain of a normal animal.

Here Is the home treatment for superfluous hair given by . . . (a woman in the beauty business) . If the treatment is safe will It really remove hair for good? P. B. Answer- The catch In the method Lis the funny soap you must u that's where the madam gets her profit. The results would be the same If any other soap were used. The part of the "treatment" which removes hair Is where you "rub it off with the flat side of a pumice stone, leaving the skin smooth." That's one way of shaving, and ac cording to one comely woman who has had experience the regular, mod erate use of the fine toilet pumice stone sold by druggists and toilet goods dealers Is the most satisfac tory way to deal with superfluous hair on the face. Electro-Surgery for Goiter. Is diathermy ever used In the treatment of inward goiter? I mean electro-surgery or the electric .knife? I thank you for having recommended me to Dr. . . , who removed my ton sils with diathermy. He is very skill ful. My throat Is as clean as a throat could be after any operation, my family physician says. M. R. F. Answer Yea, the endothermy knife (which sears the tissue as the spark dissects It) Is used by most surgeons In goiter operations, brain operations, kidney operations and other surgery where It Is desirable to prevent oozing or the spreading of malignancy. Tapeworm. , Is there such a thing as tape worm? Old-time fakers who exhib ited Jars of "snakes" . , . have a rela tive who Is very thin yet eats twice aa much as an average person . . , O. R. Answer Tea, many healthy, well- j nourished persons, with normal appe-1 tlte, harbor tapeworm, which usually does not affect the host's health ap- j preclably. (Copyright, John f. Dllle Co.) Communications Unduly Alarmed. To the Editor: Glad to see the malthuslan theory of population being aired out In your columns. It promises to become more and more In the spotlight as the contra dictions of our social system become acute. It is even now very seriously engaging tbe attention of some of the world's best minds and many have become alarmed. But unduly so at least, such is the opinion of the undersigned; and since he believes that the theory can not too often be stated here goes: Food supply increases In arithmetic ratio. Population In geometrical ra tio, e.g. Food supply: 1, 3, 3, 4. 8, etc. Population: 1, a, 4, 8, 10, 32, 64, etc. From pondering over this theory, Darwin evolved the epochal evolu tionary theory. The facta of fecun dity are of enormous Importance. For every Individual that reaches matu rity, upwards of hundreds of millions must perish simply because they can not get a "toe-hold and hang on." Food supply takes care that they do not. Hence the law of the survival of the fittest the unfit pass out. This law, with modifications, operates In our society with the "slickest." not the biologically best fitted, surviving, and It Is called "rugged Individual ism.' The population theory Is a biologi cal one and is applicable to man as an animal only in a very low state of social organisation now In our own, the food supply Is solved. If man Is wiped out, It will not be be cause he can not produce enough, but because understanding of his true condition has not been sufficiently diffused. The over-population alarmists err In basing their sociology directly upon biology. When biological laws pass through the colendar of mind. they surely must to operate in society, much of their destructive ten. dencles generate antithetical psycho logical laws making them harmless or better yet beneficial.
