Yet such mothers seem to say: "My thoughts are- not your thoughts, your ways my ways I" Whll. skimming through the final pages of Pepy's diary today I came upon what often seems the most starkly traglo lines between the covers of a book. It was Samuel's final entry: "And so I betake myself to that course, which la almost as much aa to see myself In my grave! for which, and all the discomfort that will accompany my being blind, the good God prepare me." It was Percy Hammond, I believe, who discovered hay fever was so often an affliction among those who live by the pen Rudyard Kipling, Chris topher Morley, Amy Lowell. Edgar Lee Masters, Rabelais and H. L. Mencken himself. The polllnosla also extends to executive branohea of literature. Lord Northcllffe and John R. McLean were sufferers.- So la Roy Howard. On a brief stretch of Madison this morning I noticed Olivette Palls, Lil lian Herts, Mrs. Coffyn and Hill and Dale, all In various business enter prises, ... Dex Fellows, of the circus, hsa come and gone. And life does on. But It would not be the same without his visit. He 1 last of the old-time press agent, and haa endured the meta morphosis that changed his guild into counsels of public relations without touching him. He still visits the city room carrying his gold-headed cane and "consenting" to be Interviewed. He has seen cubs develop Into man aging editors and even publishers during his SO years of press agentlng and that's why no pes-shootlng office boy Is ever denied a "free pass." Dex knows he may be running tha she bang tomorrow. Th. press sgent, by the way, of one of the largest department aton.'S, telegrsphs this within the hour: "We hsve sold during the past four weeks .xactly 104 dinner Jacket, designed for women. 8even were for married women and what do you think, air, of that?" I havent a single thought except In my duds I feel positively effeminate. One of the best dressed men in tha morning parade on Park avenue these summery mornings Is Theodor Bzarvaa. known professionally aa Theodor of the Rita. His morning coat Is of pesrl gray broadcloth, matching his waistcoat and ledger ruled trousers, and his boot, are shiniest along the fashionable thor oughfare. . He Is the original of the suave maltre d'hotel featured In tha mystery novels of his friend, I. Phil lips Oppenhelm, a scholarly fellow with plnce nes on a tiny gold ear chain. He I a collector of paintings nd books and a boyhood friend of Fereno Molnar during atudent days In Budapest. Theodor, an old friend of forma lly Mew York day, makes formal A Blow to 'I 'Hi! sudden death of William Levens, deputy attorney gen eral in charge of the prosecution of L. A. Banks, came as a tragic shock to the people of this community and particularly to the many personal friends he weeks he was preparing the case. A capable and experienced attorney, Mr. Levens was in a very true sense, a gentleman and a scholar. Well versed in the law, a deep student of legal principles and procedure, he com bined tireless industry with a rare charm and courtesy of man ner. He was a very quiet man, therefore no doubt disappointing to those who associate a prosecutor with noise and fury, the typical "killer", declamatory, dynamic and dramatic. But underneath that quiet came to know him were quickly and strong moral force, within. WITH the aid of his assistants he had prepared this case with the greatest care, and was heart and soul in the effort to bring the guilty to justice, and relieve this community from any return of another reign That he Bhould be fatally stricken, just as the case was about to begin, is one of those unfair and inexplicable quirks of Fate, which renders life on this whirling ball of dirt, so difficult to understand. . HIS assistants of course, will carry on. . But they will neces sarily be handicapped, by the loss of their leader, at such a critical time, particularly when they are opposed by five lawyers, two of them regarded as the best criminal and jury lawyers in the state. In the Interest of justice and fair play, we feel that Governor Meier should appoint the best jury lawyer obtainable to take Mr. Levens' place. Such a man would necessarily be placed at a disadvantage at the start, but his appointment would at least show a disposition to do everything that, under the tragic cir cumstances, can be done, to compensate for the unexpected and fatal blow of an unkind Fate. Money Talks Too Much ONE of these fine days our entire system of criminal pro cedure will be changed. Instead of a publio prosecutor and a private defender there will be a publio prosecutor and a publio defender. , In this way the advantage a rich criminal enjoys, in OPPOSING a poorly paid prosecutor, with his own highly paid staff of criminal defenders will be eliminated. Under the present system the rich offender has a tremendous and altogether unfair advantage. The most striking example in recent years was the case of Harry Thaw. Had he not had millions behind him, everyone knows he would have met the punishment his murder of Stanford White deserved. Also everyone knows that had this deluded ignor amus Zangora, had a family and wealth behind him, he would never have gone to the electrio chair, a week or two after he killed Mayor Cermak of Chicago. His case would still be drag ging on. ". . WHICH of course is .ALL WRONG I Every defendant is entitled to absolute justice and fair play, but NO MORE than that. The state, representing the people, is entitled to the same thing, and no more than Whether an accused person is ing to do with the matter. In a and the pauper, should stand on BUT they don't under the American system as it exists. There are not many things in Soviet Russia, that we feel this country should emulate. But BOTH publio proseoutors and defendant and the state, UPON as legal talent is concerned, we imitation. calls at regular Intervals, first send ing a bouquet of roses to my wife. Upon such occasions the entire house hold takes on an atmosphere or pol ished behavior, Even the dogs sit In the corner.

BO CALCIUM IS OOD FOB EHEUMATIZT A great many persona suffering with recurring hives, hay fever, bron chial asthma, or periodic sick head ache (migraine) have obtained considerable ben efit from taking calcium. I have r e o o m m e nded. part lcularly to migraine victims the taking of, say, 10 grains of calcium lactate three times a day for a period of 10 weeks. Calcium lactate Is best dissolved In a little hot water, and this mixed with nearly a glassful of cold water, the dose to be taken soot, after the meal. It has a taste- not very bad, but the taste may be covered by putting ft few drops of lemon Juice In the water, or some syrup of orange, or one may take the nearly tasteless gluconate of calcium Instead of the lactate, though the gluconate la too expensive, I think.- Occasionally cal cium laotate Irritates or upsets a sensitive stomach. If that happens. It Is too bad, but fortunately this Is still a free country and you need not take any more of the stuff, you know. In any case, please remember I do not guarantee It to do anything; I merely assure you it is a harmless experiment to try. Every little while some reader writes in to tell me of the remarkable bene fit he or she has experienced from this course of calcium lactate. Now in my playroom I have two portraits I'd have three if there were au thentic pictures of. Father Hlppo krates. The two likenesses I keep before me are the beloved T. R. and the philosophical John J. Coinci dence. I look to T. R. for Inspira tion when I get an exceptionally hard Jolt or kick In the pants; and to J. J. for forbearance when I get a testimonial. Always until now old J. J. has helped me to laugh off the solemn asseverations of many of these readers that a dose or two of calcium lactate gives Immediate relief to headache. Now cornea a physician, Dr. God frey Tavarea, who reports In Mun chener medlzlnlsche Wochenschrlft that he has been giving calcium, lac tate with uniform satisfaction for precisely that purpose these many yeara that Is, he has found It serves E AS CK0SENF0R TRIAL (Continued from Page One.) He made no comment save "They are not making much haste.'' Mrs. Martin on Hand. , Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin, chief lieutenant of Banks in the activities of the "Good Government Congress," waited in the back of the courtroom for ft chance to speak to Banks. She was asked, for an Interview by Eugene newspaperwomen, and granted it briefly. Mrs. Banks, facing trial with her mate, sits moot of the time with eager attention for all that is trans piring, as the drama in her life tin folds. At odd moment she sit with downcast eyes In deep contemplation. Both Banks and Mrs. Banks ex pressed deep regret at the sudden passing of Assistant Attorney -Gen eral William S. Levens Tuesday. News of his death cast a somber note over the courtroom, and the two gray- haired defendants. Levens complained to Medford friends Tuesday morning that he was HI, but dismissed it as of no conse quence. Soon after court opened he excused himself and retired to his room. Shortly before noon a phy sician was called. Just before court opened In the aftemon he was stricken. As soon as the Jury was selected. Circuit Judge Sklpworth ad Jorned court until Wednesday after noon. District Attorney George A. Codding then formally notified she attorney -general's office at Salem of the death. Moody to Prosecute. Attorney Ralph B. Moody was named assistant attorney-general late Tuesday, and will 'have charge of the murder trial and ballot theft oases. He has been engaged in both esses since their Inception. Moody has had wide experience In the law. He was In the legal department of the Southern Paclflo railroad and engag ed in securing the right-of-way for the Marsh field branch of that road. tn the Harding and Coolldxe admin istrations he was a U. S. axlstant at torney-general. He came to Medford about five years ago, and for a time was in the law office of A. B. Reames. Of the five attorneys engaged in the Banks case, Charles A. Hardy of Eugene is the moat Impressive. Master of Suavity. Recognlred as one of the leading criminal lawyers of the state, and one of th two ranking counsellors of Lane county, he Is master of courtroom suavity, addressing all his queries to the Jury in a conversa tional tone, with flashes of brilliant legal thinking. He Is a man of plead ing appearance and personality, de scribed by acquaintance as "a law yer who knows his way around any kind of a trial. He enjoys a wide acquaintance in Lane county. His retention by the defense is regarded as "a master stroke." Another brilliant barrister, associa ted with Hardy, la Attorney Frank Lonergan ot Portland, no freshman himself in the arts or court pro cedure. Lonfrttsn is a high state fig ure of the Knight of Columbus, OREGON, 'WEDNESDAY,- well as an analgesic (paln-klller) not, only in neuralgia and headache, -but In neuritis, rheumatism or what have you. This physician says rt has brought about complete cures In not a few cases of these afflictions when the ordinary remedies have failed He believes calcium lactate Is most effective when given as above direct ed and in doses of from 10 to 20 grains. There it Is. And that's all there la. Don't ask me for any more. You take It or leave It. Sometimes you take it and leave It, too. I have but one last word to add. Just now as I looked up at old John J. Iaw him wink slowly. That re minds me I quoted Dr. Tavarnes's report' from a German medical jour nal. The Germans are great ones for cracking new remedies or treatments to the skies when they first announce them, and then after the long-suffering druggists everywhere are stock ed up to the celling with the won derful new medicine, discarding it in favor of a still newer one. However, calcium lactate is an old, standard chemical and the market on it Is not likely to' be affected by the mere recognition of one of Its toward effects. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soda. . What effect has soda on vegetables? I cook green beans with a teaspoon ful of soda In the water three min utes, then drain and cook 10 minutes and they are done. They retain their color and flavor, but I am told they lose their vitamins. Does soda form ball in the stomach? Mrs. I. F. Answer That Is the only objection I know. The soda destroys Vitamin C. If the daily diet or ration In cludes some raw vegetables, relishes or fruits, no cause to worry about Vitamin C. Soda does not worm "ball In the stomach." Scarlet Fever. Tou classify scarlet fever as a res piratory infection and imply the in fection occurs through conversational spray, if that is so, why does the health board quarantine all cases for 30 days or more? Is there scientific proof that peeled skin can cause scar let fever if carried by a parent, nurse or doctor? H. Yr Answer It Is Just an old maritime custom. There Is no good evidence that scarlet fever is spread through the desquamation or peeling skin. (Copyright, .John F. Dllle Oo.) speaker of the state legislative house, and a fiery cross-examiner. Once he was renowned as ft football player In this state for the Multnomah club of Portland, He has a state wide acquaintance. At the Tuesday morning session, Attorney Hardy questioned the Jur ors; Lonergan watched intently every word and move, and conferred sev eral times with Banka and Charles F. Moran of Cleveland, Ohio, former newspaper publisher. Lonergan also filed a motion before the court for a transcript of the proceedings. Attorney Lonergan spoke but once during the morning session of court, and then to say: "That's a bit argu metative. I would like to hear some questions asked." He was objecting to the state's questioning of Soren Wlnther, a prospective Juror, later excused. The remainder of the defense's bat tery of attorneys Joseph R. Ham mersly of Portland and Attorneys W. E. Phlpps and T. J. Enrlght of Medford. played busy, if silent roles, and took copious notes. Jurors Know County. Mrs. Pearl Wicks, who 20 years ago taught school in the Butte Falls district of Jackson county, is one of the 13 Jurors, and two alternates im panelled In the case. Mrs. Jessie Bertsch of Springfield, the last Juror selected, after the de fense had exhausted all Its chal lenges, said In response to queries that she had friends In Jackson coun ty, and named them as the famines of Dr. Martenson, Harry Gillette and Harry Glle. Mrs. Bertsch said her Medford acquaintance was small. Mrs. Wicks said she knew few, if any, Jackson county resident now. Neither Mrs. Wicks nor Mrs. Bertsch. they testified, had any Inti mate knowledge of the Jackson coun ty turmoil, had never talked about It, and all they knew about it was "what they saw in the headlines, and paid little attention.' The age of the Jurors range from Mrs. Bertsch, perhaps 35 years old. to Mrs. Madge P. Ad i eon of Lorraine, perhaps 65, and L. K. Page, about the same age, and ft retired sea captain. Mrs. Addison, a trim matron, was dressed In black. Other women mem bers are Mrs. Myrl Lightfoot. a young Eugene housewife. Mrs. D. T. Conley of Crow, a farmer's wife, rd Mrs. Lucy Ludford of Eugene. The remaining personnel of the Jury Is composed of Charles a. Ash by. clerk, Eugene; Will L. Townsend, 1 aborer. Lond on ; Isaac P. Yates, laborer, Blachly, snd J. D. Phelph, a farmer of Goshen. Raymond Dun ning, farmer, and Lee Young, forest er, are alternates. Jury Evenly Divided. The Jury is divided six to six between men and women, and none of either sex, they told the court, have conscientious scruples again? capital punishment. The court directed that the Jurors return to their home and make preparations for a long stay away from their families. They were cau tioned "not to read the newspapers" during their term of service, and were placed in the hands of bailiffs st 5:30 o'clock. The court advised th Jury they "would be accorded every comfort possible, and all your want will be cared for by the balllffs.- Only one of th many jurors ex amined Tuesday expressed any con scientious scruples against hanging, a a penalty for conviction of first degree murder. He was Virgil Ayers. at, a young farmer. Attorney Moody of Medford. who questioned th jurors, stressed the MAT 3, 1933. cCARTHY-BENQ BOUT TO FURNISH FIREWORKS Next to the Jack McCarthy-Battling Beno bout at the army tonight in Mack Llllard's fight card, the bout between Spider Bone McElroy and Jimmy Campagne is expected to pro vide the bulk of the fireworks. Campagne has fought here before, and displays the cunning and vlclous ness of his Indian forefathers. Spider Bones Is a tall, disconnected and pug nacious Pelicy City fighter, who likes nothing better than a wild battle and Compagne said this morning that ft wild battle was Just what he was going to get. The bouts start at 8:30 o'clock, with Emerson Babb of Medford and Kid Rusty of Klamath . Falls slugging at each other for four rounds. Those who have seen Babb In Action know what to expect, as Babb either wins by a knockout or gets himself punch ed into a coma. Babb, however, has won most of his bouts, and is pre senting Ijlmself as one of Medford's most promising fighters. Cort Mitchell will meet Johnny Bell of Klamath Falls In the second bout on the program, and Cort, too. has gained favor here. Cort has been fighting here for the better part of two years, and although he does not have any Madison Square Garden aspirations, still he stands toe to toe with the best of them and slugs it out. The preference of Medford fans for hard-hitting fighters full of ac tion has led to the selection of slug gers for Mack Llllard's cards, and the choice of Battling Beno of Pelt can Olty to fight Jack McCarthy is typical of what Medford's fans want. Everyone knows McCarthy's yen for action, and Llllard said this morning that Beno is Just as full of action as McCarthy. With most of Jackson county's of ficers In Eugene, some fans are skep tical about attending the match, but Llllard assured fans yesterday that no riots would ensue after tonight's fight, unless, of course, somebody starts one. Les Weiss will referee. If he gets back from fishing in time. BASEBALL Yesterday's Results American At Detroit 3, New York 2. At St. Louis 3, Boston 1. At Chicago-Philadelphia, postponed cold.

Attorney Hardy touched lightly on "the persecution to the point of desperation" question. He asked Arthur S , Olsen, a C res veil storekeeper.

FISHING LAGS AS Although the big run of salmon that has kept southern Oregon fish ermen busy In the Rogue river for weeks is scheduled to continue for some time to come, fishing ha been rather poor for the past few daya according to local fishermen. High water has caused the salmon to stop striking, and catches have beenscarce this week. Prospects for the summer's fishing are that anglers will have one of the best seasons in years as far up the river as Savage Rapids dam, but only one salmon has been reported caught above Savage Rapids, although many have tried fishing at Ray dam.
