California "Gets" It
WE COMMENTED aome days ago about how successfully
California has secured funds from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
Now we learn from the Treka Journal that Alta California
Inc., plans to secure $100,000 with which to build custom mills
in the northern part of the state.
These custom mills are particularly designed to help the
small miner who is struggling along on insufficient capital. If
present plans materialize a custom mill will be established not
far from Yreka, and gold mining in Siskiyou county will be
greatly stimulated.
According to our information Southern Oregon today is
even richer in gold deposits than that portion of California
just over the state line.
But what northern California may lack in gold it seems to
make up in the go-getting spirit.
The crying need for gold development in Jackson county is
capital. ' If northern California can secure a government loan
of $100,000 for milling operations, we see no reason why South
ern Oregon should not get at least as much.
Takes a Miracle Man
IP PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT can satisfactorily settle the war
debt and tariff problems, then he is indeed a miraole man.
According to yesterday's press dispatches the president has
already invited 11 foreign countries to send representatives
here to discuss the problem of trade barriers. Secretary of
State Hull is known to be a passionate disciple of lower tariffs.
This much is certain. If Europe is ever to pay her war debts
to this country, she can only pay the major portion in goods.
Radically reducing American tariff barriers would render
this possible.' . ,
But if Europe pays in goods, two things, as we seo it, are
bound to happen. Commodity prices will decline, and American
factories will either olose down or radically curtail production.
In other words the two factors that have contributed most to
the intensity and prolongation of the depression will be in
creased cheaper goodB and greater unemployment.
Wouldn't such an outcome spell mint And yet if this isn't
done, how can the war debts ever be paid 1
The problem as we see it, is an old one in a new form.
Namely, what happens when an irresistible force m;ets an im

' Political Propaganda
OUR ignoranee of psychology is less than it was ; but it is
still so great that we are forced to carry on many of our
major activities almost entirely in the dark.
The politician, for example, is perpetually clamoring for
reforms, for new legislation, for alterations in the structure of
society) but he seldom has more than the vaguest idea how these
ohanges will affect individual human beings and the community
as a whole. ' .
Thus, the people who imposed prohibition on the United
States imagined that they knew what their action would do
for the country and ita inhabitants. The history of the last
fifteen years is there to prove that, alas, they were mistaken.
They legislated without a sufficient knowledge of human
psychology; the results, sb we all know, were most distressing.
rVEMOCRATIO institutions have endowed the arts of propa
ganda with an enormous social importance. Where people
olect their rulers the men who can control the mind of the elec
torate aro certain of political power. Propaganda has therefore
become one of the major instruments of govenment.
In every country we see the spectacle of ambitious individu
als and the organizers of great political parties doing their best
to exploit the organs of propaganda to their own private or
corporate advantage It seems an obviously Machiavellian pro
ceeding. But, unfortunately, there is a flaw in the ounning:
People know too little psychology to be certain of the effcefs of
propaganda.
Advertisers, it is true, can form a fair idea of what they are
doing. They can prophesy with a tolerable degree of accuracy
that so much money spent in such and such a way will sell so
many automobiles or bottles of patent medicine, or whatever
the advertised object may be. But the sellers of political wares
are very far from having reached this pitch of certainty. So
far aa I can see they simply don't know what sort of effect
their propaganda is likely to have.
Nevertheless, propagandists still go on propaganding and
the people who employ the propagandists still imagine that they
exercise a great and decisive influence over the mind of the
electorate. In reality they are just a set of inadequate psy
chologists busily working in the dark. Adolphus Huxley in

I Intend to spend the greater part
of my life In the
tropics away from
civilization where
good knowledge
of hygiene and
sanitation Is
more necessary
than It Is here
where one can
call in a physi
cian. Are boric acid
and boraclc acid
the same thing
or are they dif
ferent? I understand that some hos
pitals use refined borax as an anti
septic Instead of boric add. Is this
true? Is borax good antiseptic?
Would a mixture of powdered boric
add and petrolatum be a good ap
plication for cuts, burns, etc? If so,
what proportions of each should be
used. (O. C. P.)
Tes boric acid Is the modern spell
ing for the same substance formerly
called boraclc acid. Boric acid Is lees
freely soluble In water than borax,
but more freely soluble in alcohol
which does not dissolve borax at all.
Borax is the sodium salt of boric acid
-sodium borate, and It is alklllne In
taste and reaction.
Either borax or boric add Is a com
paratively feeble antiseptic, but these
feeble antiseptics are popular in hos
pitals because they are leas Irritating
than other antiseptics and may be
freely used without much risk of do
ing harm.
In my opinion I can find no dis
interested scientific comparison
boric add and borax are equally good
antiseptics, and I believe one can ob
tain every possible good effect from
the use of boric acid (I don't know
why we prefer boric, acid to borax in
general practice today) as an anti
septic medicament or agent that one
can expect from any antiseptic rem
edy. Plain Boric Acid' Oiintment is offi
cial' In the British Pharmacopoeia. It
la made of one ounce of boric add In
fine powder with nine ounces of white
paraffin ointment. Paraffin ointment
Is a mixture of three ounces of hard
paraffin wax and seven .ounces of
soft paraffin, which Is the same as
pur mineral oil called petrolatum In

Toeing Out.
Mrs. D. T. reports that her child
has apparently corrected marked bow
legs by doing a simple stunt many
times a day. Stand In a doorway
where you can get some support at
first, and turn both feet as far out,
that is. toe out as far as possible, so
that one foot points due south and
the other due north. Bring the knees
and backs of legs together while you
stand erect. It sounds plausible. In
cases of Knock-knees and pronated
feet (weak arches) It Is Important to
TOE IN when walking, standing,
playing, dancing, etc. to strengthen
the weak feet or legs For bow leg It
may be better to TOE OUT.

shoe hushing they usually get the
gum all over tiemselves and everyone
else.
This time they were afraid of arous
ing the touchy Japanese. They
thought they could get an unusual
law like this one through congress
without telling why they wanted It.
They told the house Judiciary com
mittee In executive session but made
everyone cross his heart and swear
by everything that it would not get
out.
It was not long before nearly every
insider in town knew about it. The
Japanese, of course, learned it among
the first.
When the bill came up In the
house members went around whis
pering the reasons in each other's
ears. Not a word was said openly.
What they did not realize was that
the truth could, not possibly be so
alarming as all t.hls foolishness..
Even the Japanese in their present
state could see that the faithfulness
of one minor official does not cor
rupt the state department. Indeed
they should be glad the department
was interested enough to move as It
did.
Also if a man will steal a docu
ment he will forge one. The authen
ticity of these could be verified only
from Japanese private files. Pending
that the presumption would surely
be against the thief.
Why the department was particu
larly afraid of arousing the Japanese
is Illumined by the recent case of a
Major Herbert O. Yardley. He was
the wartime decoding officer in the
state department. Somehow he never
learned that the war was over and
kept practicing wartime spying on
foreign correspondence long after
there was any occasion for It. He
wrote a series of magazine articles In
which it was clearly shown he was
the champion decoder of all time. His
claim that Jae knew of communica
tions passing between foreign dele
gates at the Washington disarma
ment conference and their home gov
ernments caused a stir in Japan
months ago.

fornla's average that Is to say, per
capita savings deposits In California
are three times as large as in Ore
gon. Either we have not been thrifty in
the past or we have put our money
somewhere else than In savlngs'banks.
STILL, here Is an encouraging note:
The INCREASE In savings de
posits since 1010 has been GREATER
In Oregon than In any other state.
In other words, we are LEARNING
to be thrifty, even If we haven't been
particularly so In the past.
-
OREGON wants development. De
velopment requires capital. Capi
tal is the accumulated savings of the
people.
As we learn to save up more money,
we shall find ourselves In a position
to provide more of our own capital
for our own development
That will be something worth while.
