legally, but the quenching of the
alleged thirst of the populace will
not be as extensive, as planned, be
cause of a lacfc of supply- It will be
some time before the growler can be
rushed with old-time gusto. There
seems to be considerable doubt, as
to the plfflicatlng powers of the 8.2
per cent brew. Be that as It may, the
great desire for -beer may cause some
of ihe more playful to imagine they
are and play drunk. The longing
for a gltias of beer has been Intense.
Not a soul has expressed the opinion
life would not be worth living unless
he could chew a pretzel the Im
mortal associate of beer.
Everybody Is busy spading gardens,
and great enthusiasm Is shown by
one and all In the task of overturn
ing the warm earth. Some of the
enthusiasm should be set aside for the
hoeing of the hot earth later.
DOUBT AND VILLI AN8.
(Agony Column)
Dear Mary:
I went to a dancing party last
night at the home of a rather too
gay young widow. There were
several out of town men there
and I think that someone must
have put a little something Into
our fruit punch. I dont remem
ber very weal about the last part
of the party, but I drank quite ft
'few glosses of the punch and I
think it was pretty late when one
of the men brought me home in
his car. Dear Plain Mary, did 1
do wrong?
DEBUTANTE.
Next year's false teeth, we read,
nay be made of chromium steel. This
sort of technological improvement
may be expected to put the nuV
cracker factory permanently out of
business. (Detroit News) Several
owners of store teeth report that the
first three years they feel like a pair
of horseshoes, and It is expected
ebronlum steel will change this.
It would be Interesting to note the
passionate rush for ham and eggs, If
prohibited for ,14 years. Nobody has
yet expressed a threat to tear a door
off a refreshment parlor, to again
munch a pretzel.
. a
The weather continues pleasant,
and, In spite of all they can do to
prevent it, many of the leading
haters, In tha late Qreat Agony, are
getting that way, too. Recovery In
a number of oases is slow and pain
ful, but a few more days scowling
, and pouting will find them redeemed.
This may be due to the lack of a boss
hater. Quite a number who for
months thought everybody's hand but
their own, was In their pocket, have
begun to gently realize that perhaps
they were lied to, in wholesale lots.
There has also been a decline In
bulging pistol pockets, and ladles no
longer demurely advise political foes
of the opposite sex "to go to hell."
Borne of the country areas still hear
taller tales, than any told in towns,
but the Imaginations are not working
overtime. It Is getting so malicious
gossip will not be given credence
even by the party who started It.

A Good Appointment
T'lIB appointment of Walter Olmscheid aB temporary sheriff,
A will undoubtedly meet with general approval.
Mr. Olmscheid is a popular young man and a capable one.
The fact that he was not an active candidate for the position,
that in a sense the appointment sought him instead of he the
appointment removes it from the realm of local politics which
is all to the good.
The temporary sheriff, moreover, while an active Legion
naire, and always affiliated with the forces of good citizenship,
has not been conspicuously involved with either faction, in the
recent deplorable turmoil, and therefore assumes office with
no factional prejudice to overcome, or resentments o live down.
The 90 days during which he will hold office, promise to be
important ones in the history of Medford and Jackson county.
At the end of that period, the local situation SHOULD be defin
itely cleared up, and the community prepared to go full steam
ahead, on progressive and constructive lines.
The matter of filling the position permanently, can well be
left until that time.
The Insanity Plea
I AST Thanksgiving Day one Marceleno Julian, Filipino, went
" on a rampage in Seattle, with a bolo knife, and when he got
through, six persons were dead, and 13 wounded.
Now on trial for his life, Marceleno we learn, is crazy. It
seems be was'a victim of jungle fever, which put a wild glint
in his eye, and he suffered several spinal punctures when he
contracted moningitis. '
His attorneys don't want him to hang. They want him sent
to a nice quiet insane asylum.
Now that is OK with us an insane asylum, provided his
insanity can be established BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT. Bight or wrong this paper has always opposed capital
punishment We lust for no man's blood.
But we want that sentence to the insane asylum FOR LIFE,
NOT for a few years, until the horrible, killings have been for
gotten, and then a sudden return to sanity, as was the case with
the notorious Harry Thaw.
IN FACT we believe this whole business of insanity as a mur
Anv Hfrfnnfla Rrinnlfl lift rnvnmrinrl nnrl rflviflfld.
Laws should be made for
protection of society. A killer
more dangerous to society than
either rationally or in the heat of passion.
. There can be some protection against the latter, but none
whatever against the former.
.The murderer who is unbalanced mentally, should be placed
where he can kill no more in the asylum for the criminally
insane for life. '
With such a law there would be fewer insanity pleas for
those who are perfectly sane, but have no other defense.
A Good Example
'
ARS. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT sets a good examplo re
garding the matter of legalized beer.
She happens to be a tcototaler herself. But she will sanction
the serving of beer at the Whito House, and refuse to sanction
the serving of anything stronger. ..
In her recent statement, she urged the peoplo of the country
to uphold the 18th amendment as long as it is a part of the
organio law, and to do everything in their power to prevent
an abuse of the beer privilege recently granted.
' I 'HiS is good sense and sound statesmanship.' The people of
the country should adopt a similar attitude toward the
liquor problem.
Public opinion should be particularly firm, against those
who are seeking to take advantage of this beer privilege, to
flood the country with strong drink, and cash in on an orgy of
intemperance and licentiousness.
Unless the American people-as a whole show that they can
prevent abuse of legalized beer, there will be little disposition
to grant them greater privileges in the matter of intoxicants,
and the cause of true temperance as well as of genuine reform,
will be swallowed up in a general and overwhelming reaction.
The Folly of Race Prejudice
rviCTATOR HITLER tries to justify his persecution of the
U Jows, by pointing out that the United States first recog
nized the differene values of races, and for generations has ex
cluded the yellow races from American citizenship.
To the present writer, however, there seems to be a great
difference between excluding races from entering a country,
and depriving the members of one race, of their property and
civil rights, WITHIN a country.
There would be no quarrel with Hitler if he wished to ex
elude Jews from entering Germany. But he is persecuting and
donyiug fundamental rights to German citizens, who h,appen to
have Jewish blood in their veins.
This is morally wrong, and in our judgment can only lead
to disaster for the German nation. The action has already cost
Germany a large share of that international goodwill, which
she had started to regain, following the world war.
"NE need hardly dilate upon the contributions to German
greatness made by members of the Jewish .race, in the
past, particularly in the realm of statesmanship, the arts, and
the sciences. Nor is there any evidence that the members of
the Jewish race, refused to accept their share in the sacrifice of
blood and treasure during the world war.
In our judgment you can't indict a race any more than a
nation. Certain national Bnd racial prejudices are unavoidable.
That the super-nationalism which Hitler has aroused should be
antagonized by Jewish insularity, could scarcely be avoided.
But to allow this antagonism to determine a national policy,
to encourage it, to. stimulate it, and seek to profit politically
from it, appears to us, not only wrong, but inexcusably stupid.
If the policy is persisted in, we predict it will prove as dis
astrous for the German nation, in peace, as the submarine policy
of Von Tirpit was in the world war.

LESS BATHING AND M ORE HAND WASHING
Somehow It has become noised
about that I am again bathing. That,
is a mistake. I believe moderate or
temperate indul
gence Is quite
harmless in most
cases. It Is only
when bathing is
carried to excess
that It becomes
harmful to
health. Of course
a great many
persons who hap
pen to have Old
skins are more
comfortable, and
hence on the
whole more
healthy, if. they eschew the wet wash,
for no matter whether it be hot or
cold water, they only bathe to Itch.
But I want you to understand pre
cisely where I stand so that when
the propaganda director of the Beau
tiful Bath institute gets to work on
you, the old "sanitary" bunk won't
make any serious dent in your pock
etbook. The frequency with which a, per
son bathes has nothing whatever to
do with his susceptibility to or his
Immunity against any known disease.
If any alleged health authority seems
to hold a different opinion about
this, Just ask him to name the mal
ady which bathing prevents. Then
we'll have some fun with him.
I am unalterably opposed to all
bathtubs exqyt the minute fraction
of one per cent of them owned and
controlled by - Individuals as non
transferable equipment. No getting
around a bathtub ... It is not a
clean.y thing to use if somebody else
has used it before you,' not even if
the last user has taken pains to leave
no high tide mark or other data for
you to ponder as you soak. :
A shower bath Is unobjectionable.
I doubt if anybody ever catches even j
athlete s foot In a shower bath.
though there is a fair chance to pick
up the trlcophytoals fungus going and 1
coming from the shower, if you don't ,
wear your own Individual suppers.
In my Judgment entirely too much !
emphasis has been placed on the rite j
of bathing and too little on the duty
of washing the hands. Bathing has
practically nothing to do with health.
Washing the hands has a great deal
to do with health.
No license or permit to sell food or
drink to be consumed on the prem
ises should be granted by the city
unless .the place Is equipped with
adequate facilities for the patrons to
wash their hands before taking the
food or drink. Too many such es
tablishments are tolerated In towns

and cities where the lavatory facil
ities, if any, are nothing but a nuis
ance as nuisance is defined In the
sanitary law.
We should give less thought, time
and money to compelling children to
brush their teeth and more to teach
ing them to wash their hands before
partaking of food. No child should
be permitted to come to table straight
from his play or from school without
having washed his hands with soap
and water. Never mind whether he
has combed his hair. Just see that
he comes with clean hands.
Soap and water is the best anti
septic cleanser for the hands, in any
circumstance. Even where surgical
cleanliness is the purpose, soap and
water Is preferable to all other agents.
If we are concerned with health,
and not Just with esthetics, let us
have less bathing and more washing
of hands.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hydrophobia-Phobia.
Yesterday my nine-year-old son was
bitten by dog. The skin was broken
and I applied" merurochrome. Should
I have' taken him to a doctor? In the
event that the dog should ever go
mad would my son be affected? would
it be too late to have the bite burned
out now? Mrs, L. H. M.
Answer You did all I'd do If It
were my son. Unless the animal has
rabies at the time of the attack, th
person bitten has nothing to worry
about. I think an immediate appli
cation of lodln (or even meruro
chrome) to a dog bite Is sufficient
protection against any contingency
in any caset The cauterizing of such
an injury Is, in my opinion, bar
barism and nothing more.
Ben-are the Spray.
Last spring my seven-year-old son
came home from school one day and
said, "Mother, a boy coughed in my
face, and he is home now with
whooping cough . The inevitable
happened Robert came down with
the disease and so did his younger
brother. So please do what you can
to make people understand the Im
portance of covering sneezes and
coughs with handkerchief or hand
. . Mrs. M. A.
Answer If I could conscientiously
hand out the conventional advice
about sneeze and cough spray it
might be done, but I have to warn
against polite conversational syray at
the same time, for I believe that Is
the chief mode of Infection, and peo
ple generally resent being told that
any auch hazard exists. The only
difference between an uncovered
cough and polite conversation spray
is that the spray of the latter does
not carry so far.

There is great need for economy
today and It behooves us to be dis
criminating and intelligent about it.
First of all we can not afford to
handicap our children by false econ
omy. It is well to ponder over this
vital point. It is not enough to
merely feed and clothe our children.
Recognition of the qualifications nec
essary to become a useful and desir
able citizen is of great importance
and should be the ideal of all par
ents today.
The Inquiring mind of the child
must be fed with wholesome adequate
information.
Modernism In education Is the re
sult of untiring efforts of the edu
cators of today. We find universities
blending cultural Ideas of the past
with our present day need.
Future progress can not be secure,
however, until the creative ability of
our children are more fully appreci
ated. Every effort should be made to
eliminate the suffering caused by in
ferior educational training.
