Editorial Correspondence
HOLLYWOOD, January 23. It has rained for a solid week
now and we have the word of the local weather bureau that
further rain will do no good, but harm, by flooding the lowlands
and blocking the highlands with snow. We trust the deluge
will call it a day and give us some sunshine.
We also trust that one of these days the Californian, who
eyes an Oregon automobile license during the latest cloudburst
and remarks "you must feel at home in this sort of weather"
is laid low by a bolt from above, or slips into the nearest storm
sewer and is drowned. Such an act of Providence would be
poetic justice and also prevent a homicide. And there are
enough homicides .in southern California already.
In fact the crime wave appears to be running along quite
smoothly in spite of the depression. But California, of course,
has a perfect alibi. There are no native sons among the gun
men. They are all from Chicago, coming here for the winter
to escape the ice and snow, along with New York millionaires
who stay at Palm Springs, and solvent inhabitants of the corn
belt, who scatter themselves all over.
These gunmen are no respecters of persons, and at the mo
ment have a decided yen for small dinner parties. Not so long
ago District Attorney Fitts and guests were held up and robbed,
just as the cook was bringing in the T-bone steak and French
fried potatoes. A few, nights later former Deputy District
Attorney Woolwine, was similarly relieved of his loose change
and jewelry, along with his guests. Some enterprising person
could make good money by selling burglary insurance to Los
Angeles policemen I
The latest dinner hold-up comes closer home. Sir. and Mrs.
John M. Scott of Pasadena entertained Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Nickerson at a small dinner last night. Two hold-up men
entered, robbed the cook of her gold watch and $20 in cash,
then proceeded to the dining room and secured $15 each from
the two men. Mrs. Scott at the point of a gun was forced to
go upstairs and get her purse, which fortunately didn't contain
much. '
Mrs. Scott is a sister of Mrs. Alfred Cnrpenter of the Old
Stage road and has frequently visited in the valley, as have
Mr and Mra. Nickerson. the former having been a class-mate
of Alfred and Leonard Carpenter
The yeggmen refused to take three valuable rings and a
fox fur when told they were not insured, which brings into
sharp relief the latest racket down here, which has been
worked to the limit in Hollywood.

Which, however, brings one back to the homily that money
is the source of all evil and it is certainly the soul, source and
substance of the crime wave. The insvirance companies to save
money deal with criminals, reimburse them, agree not to prose
oute j the victims to save their valuables and their skins also
agree not to prosecute so the vicious oircle goes on, the crim
inals thrive and go scot free.
We ory out against the crime wave, and pray for law and
order. But how can we stop one or secure the other, if we as
a people, have no more moral sense than thiol
How Indeed oan we ever improve conditions, or secure
genuine reforms if the socalled best people, at least a majority
of them, refuse to stand up and be oounted, refuse to fight

There are no gunmen in Medford, no orime wave on a
large scale.
But there is a very serious and deplorable situation up there
as all right thinking people agree.
Why does it go on and on why isn't the intolerable mess
oleared up snd something approaohing peaee and harmony re
stored. For the same reason, fundamentally, that the orime
wave continues down here. .
Because there are so many people who doplore the situation,
but refuse themselves to do anything about it. Thov are quite
ready to blame others for the mess, explain how if this or that
were done, all would be well but when called upon for some

' TREATMENT OF SUPERFLUOUS HAIR.
One of our readers submit her ad
vice, and I think It la good:
My advice to glrla wishing to
remove auper
fluoui hair
upper lip or
from chin or
cheek. Do not
shave It. That
makes matters
worse. Tweeze,
rather, just as
you do the eye
brows. The re
sults are exact
ly the same.
The hair grows
back, but not
coarser nor heavier than before.
Keep on pulling them out with
the tweezers as often s neces
sary. After a certain time the
growth seems to be slower and
you will notice longer intervals
between tweezlngs.
For hair over the cheeks bleach
with a mixture of peroxide and
water, half and half. If the akin
becomes slightly Irritated stop
applying the peroxide for a week
and then try again, a couple of
times a week. By this use of
peroxide the hairs become almost
Invisible. Eventually they seem
to dry and disappear or cease to
grow.
X have found this way. of deal
ing with the annoying condi
tion safe and effective.
Mrs. M.
A matron of extraordinary pulchri
tude assured me that she had suf
fered for years from superfluous hair
and having tried all the recognized
means of relief she found that the
regular use of fine pumice stone kept
her face smooth and free from the
blemish. She rubbed the hairy sur
face not too vigorously every day
or two, with the fine stone which
toilet goods dealers supply. This
regular attention, she found, kept the
growth of hair down to Invisibility
without irritating the akin.
One thing the woman annoyed by
superfluous hair on the face must
learn la. that no known chemical or
medicament will destroy or perma
nently remove hair. The various de
pilatory preparations dissolve the
hair, give a chemical shave, but the
effect Is no more permanent than

Communications
To the Editor:
L. A. Banks prepared, read and
adopted at hta hand-picked meeting
Monday evening, the following reso
lution: "Therefore, be it resolved, that
all legal proceedings in our Cir
cuit Court be Immediately dis
continued and heM in abeyance
until the lawa of this state and
the constitutional rights of citi
zens may be re-established In
Jackson county."
It Is needless to say that every
murderer, robber, burglar and boot
legger will Join with Mr. Banks in
this request to have the courts closed.
The Inquiry naturally suggests It
self why he, I. A. Banks, wants all
of the Circuit Court proceedings
stopped. . This, of course, would In
clude the Judges from the outside o'
this district, who come in to try cases,
such as Judge Sklpworth from Eu
gene, Judge Brand from Marsh field
and Judge Lewelllng from Albany.
These Judges are not prejudiced
against the cltlmns of Jackson coun
ty. They have no Interest here. Their
purpose Is to see that Justice be done.
The following statement of cases
against I. A. Banks or his corpora
tion, now on file In the Circuit Court
of this county, may shed some light
on the reason why L. A. Banks wants
all court proceedings stopped. The
following cases are on file against him
and for the following amounts:
The News Publishing Co. vs.
L. A. Banks, aproxtmately.... 13,000
O. B. Waddell, approximately- 0.600
T. E. Pottlnger, approximately 15.000
W. H. NorcroM, approximately- 1.300
These several cases are all actions
against L. A. Banks for promissory
notes which he signed and which are
now due, owing and unpaid. These
creditors of I. A. Banks want and
need their money, and brought these
actions to collect the money. Banks
evidently doesn't want to pay. Be
sides the said sums due these vari
ous creditors on the said promissory
notes, there are two libel cases pend
ing against Banks. One by Guy
Bates for approximately 4&0.000, and
one by George Nellson for approxi
mately 150.000. Then we have the case
of Clements va. F. A. Bates and the
Black Channel Mines, for 773.05. The
Black Channel Mines Is a corporation
owned by Banks. Banks la mining,
through this corpcrMlon, the mines
of the "honest miner." F. A. Bates.
concerning whom Banks has had so
much solicitude. The 773,05 la for
wnges owvd to the miners who work
ed on thla mining claim for Banks.
The miners, not havinjc received their
wages, filed liens against the prop
erty, which Is really owned by Banks,
They, too, wanted their money for
the hard work they did on the mine,
and Banks evidently doesn't want to
par them. If he can stop court pro
ceedings he can avoid the payment of
these miners wages.
If U A. Baaka could close the doors
of the circuit court of this count?,
ho could avoid the payment to the
News Publishing company of 13.000,
to O. B. Waddell for fl.500. to T. E,
Pottlnger for 15O00. to W. H. Nor-
croas for 1.200, and to the miners
773 05. AU of these sums art his
obligation, oontraoted by and
through him. amounting, to approxi
mately 35.000.
Xf he could close the circuit court
doors he could ftlso prevent a Judg
ment against himself for libel again t
Quy Bates and George Nellson. If
there la any reason why the cases
g4a4 Qnjti tittUtt S
offered for the removal of hair are
harmless and fairly satisfactory If the
lady does not desire to use a safety
razor. Of course, any chemical pow
erful enough to dissolve hair will Irri
tate the skin If allowed to remain
on the akin a few moments too long.
Few, If any, RESPONSIBLE physi
cians or specialists (dermatologists)
will employ X-ray for the destruc
tion of superfluous hair about the
face, except In the treatment of the
tufts of hair that often grow In a.
mole or similar lesion. The reason
why reputable physicians hesitate to
use X-ray for this purpose Is that
there Is always more or less danger
of an X-ray burn, which Is infinitely
worse than superfluous hair. So the
woman vexed with thla trouble should
think twice before entrusting herself
to the ray treatment of any charlatan.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Variety In Diet.
These days we hear much about
food combinations. Certain authori
ties Insist that one should never take
acid fruits and milk or acid fruits
and starch together . . . (Mrs. V, B.)
Please tell us also whether milk,
cheese and- cream are mucous form
ing foods.
Answer AH the queer notions you
cite are those of charlatans who find
that line of hokum effective in at
tracting uneducated customers. Un
educated In elementary physiology. I
mean. It Is absurd to Imagine any
particular food or foods la "mucous
forming." If add fruit and milk, or
acid fruit and starch combinations
appeal to your taste, they are per
fectly wholesome combinations.
Humor In High School.
It strikes me as rather comical the
way you seem to contradict so many
statements we high school pupils
learn In our textbooks. How about
it? M. O.
Answer The funny part Is that
the textbooks keep right on teach
ing the errors.
Roaches Gone.
Kindly give me your very best rem
edy for cleaning beds. I used your
remedy for cockroaches and It was
marvelous, in fact I haven't seen a
roach since. Mrs. B.
Answer Send stamped envelope
bearing your address and mention
your affliction, hether bed-bugs,
cockroaches, or what have you.
(Copyright John F, Diile Co.)
and why he should not be required
as every other man is required to pay
his honest obligations, we don't know
what that reason Is. To show his
purpose with regard to these obliga
tions, It Is well to remember that he
and his attorney entered Into an
agreement to try one of these cases
before Judge Brand and then broke
his agreement to do so; at least that
appears to be the record of the court.
We believe that It la safe to say
that the other debtors of Jackson
county will not endeavor to avoid the
payment of their honest obligations
by attempting to subvert the laws of
the state through preventing the op
eration of the court and setting aside
the constitutional right of svery man
to have hla case tried in the legally
established courts.
This man Banks pretends to have
serious objection to Judge Norton
trying hla cases, but he has the same
objection to any other Judge. Judgo
Brand was sent down from Marsh
field, selected by the chief Justice
of the state of Oregon, to try a case
against Banks. Shortly after Judge
Brand arrived to try the oase, Bank
filed an affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Brand. Judge Levelling was
then selected by the chief Justice to
try a oase against Banks. It Is aafe
to say that Banks would file an affi
davit of prejudice against Judge Lew-
elllng, and thus delay the trial of
the case, If he had not already ex
hausted hla affidavit of prejudice
rights.
It Is quite clear from the resolu
tion whloh Mr. Banks framed and
had adopted, he endeavors to have
special privilege conferred upon him
so that he may avoid the payment
of his honest obligations. Mr. Banka
feels that every Judge who sits In
Judgment on his case Is biased; and
we apprehend that when the Oreat
Judge of all, as a final arbiter, passes
upon the conduct of Mr. Banks down
here, that he will hare wilklns at
his right hand to prepare and file
an affidavit of prejudice against
Saint Peter. (Name on file.)

Coolidge.
As Is considered befitting the dig
nity of their position, these women
have dropped back Into civil uie
with a determination to avoid pub
licity. They have accomplished their
purpose so well that It comes as
somewhat of a surprise to many to
learn, for Instance, that Mrs. Har
rison still survives her husband.
She was his second wife, a niece of
his first wife.
Never 'First Lady."
Mrs. Mary Scott Dimmlck Harri

years attending her aunt.

three years after his term expired.
After his death In 1901 she traveled
extensively. Mrs. Harrison Is now
74 and lives with her daughter. Mrs.
James Blaine Harrison, In New
York.
The first marriage of a president
to take place In t,he White House
was that of Grover Cleveland to
Miss Frances Folsom, a girl of 33.
About five years after the deatn
of Mr. Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland
married Thomas J. Preston, Jr., pro
fessor of archeology at Wells col
lege, from which ahe was graduated.
Since then she has made her home
at Princeton university and has
identified herself with university ac
tivities. Mrs. Roosevelt In News.
The activities of her family have
served to keep Mrs. Roosevelt, now
71, more constantly In the news.
Her own interest In politics drew
her from seclusion In the campaign
Just past when she Introduced Pres
ident Hoover for his New York ad
dress. She has remained a sort of dow
ager-queen In American life. Among
the visiting celebreties wno nave
sought her out have been the Prince
of Wales, who saw ber in 1924, and
the crown prince and princess of
Sweden, who visited her In 1926.

Mrs. Wilson, Vie war praldent s
second wife, Is now 60. She often
Is seen at functions of artistic inter
est, still the handsome, gracious wo
man she was when her every activ
ity waa recorded In the day's news.
Her Interest In world politics re
mains keen, and she continues ac
tive contact with the democratic
party.
Mrs. Coolidge, the youngest of the
group, only 53, will always be re
membered here for her marked gra
clousness. Her very striving to 're
main In the background, simply as
her husband's partner In the (home,
served to thrust her forward as
what many persons regarded an ex
ample of the best In American wo
manhood. "We New England women cling
to the old ways," she said once when
comment was made on the blue
berry plea for which she was fa
mous.. Her Interest In knitting was
so great that she submitted samples
In several national competitions.
Those w.ho know Mra. Coollge best
here express little doubt that when
ths first shock of sorrow Is past the
quiet, smiling woman will emerge
again, an example of the friendly
neighbor! Iness that has made her be
loved by the townspeople of North
ampton. 4
Legion Play Is
Laugh Producer
The American Legion play "Jim's
Girl," to be produced at the Craterlan
theater February 15 and 16. is a rad
ical departure from traditions, and
will command more than usual In
terests. It provides a running response of
laughter, chuckles and applause, snd
other evidence of audience apprecia
tion. It defies definition. It has elements
of farce, drama and satire, and is
aptly described by the author as a
comic state of mind. The plot Is
rather familiar and the success of the
comedy may hinge largely on the
players, and extremely funny dia
logue. The performances will be pre
sented m continuous action, wVhout
the usual long intermissions.
