Beyond the Pale I "ASTON MEANS' gtatement under oath, that the Lindbergh baby is still alive, "somewhere in Mexico" probably in Juarez, and that the body found was a "plant" was the most sensational news sent over the wire, last week end. Yet it was played np but slightly by the press. Federal attorneys did not cross examine the witness to any extent, but only asked him a few inconsequential questions. There a reason. Gaston Means is the most completely discredited individual in the United States. He is a perjurer, a bully and a black guard. He is not only a liar; but he has demonstrated, time after time, he can not tell the truth. Like most men of that type, he has no sense of honor, or decency. He is disloyal alike to friend or foe; treacherous alike to women or men, true only to one HIMSELF 1 "RIGINALLY befriended by Harry Daugherty and the Ohio gang, in supplying the authoress of the "Strange Death of President Harding" with the material that composed the scandalous book, he betrayed his friends, and desecrated the memory of the dead. When the authoress found she had been deceived, she repudated the book, and repudiated Means. But did that bother Gaston t Not a bit. He has neither moral sense nor sense of shame. He had made $20,000 out of his treachery, that was ample compensation to him. So having swindled one unsuspecting woman he proceeded to swindle another, Mrs. McLean, and showed no compunction in trying to capitalize the grief and heart-break of Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, to do it. He was paid over $100,000 by Mrs, McLean. That money has never been returned. According to Means it mysteriously disappeared, and it is for that swindling extortion that Means is now under his second penitentiary sen tence.

Grover Whalon Is one of the few spectacular figures In the passing pa rade who retired from publlo life without dimming the glow of his ce lebrity. He oontlnues to be seen at ausplolous first night, and notable dinners, gardenlaed and top-hatted, and stirring as much side-line Inter est, as In the hey-lay of his police commlsslonerehlp. He Is still be sieged by the autograph hunters as though he dominated the first page headlines. They catch the flnrt shad ow of eclipse. I walked from a first night lobby one evening with an actress who had her day. Everywhere signature seek ers were popping out of the hyena half circle with outstretohed albums and pencils. At the curb she pursed her lips while her eyes misted and stepped Into a taxi with the quick blurt: "They didn't ask mel" Personal nomination for one of the most beautiful blondes In the Park avenue parade Mrs. Pullerton Weaver. This Is another one of those dotty days when a name buuses through the head with the haunts of a catchy tune. This time It Is Andre Maurols, pronounced In the French manner. "Awndray Moorwah." It has already driven my wire out for the day and conscious or a peep through the kit chen door I heard a voice aay: "He's still muttering." It Is more fun slipping Into a dotage. I wlah Irving Berlin would get back to the sprlghtllest, dancleat and hap piest tunes that ever tickled the hu man ear. He has sunk Into a rut or maudlin, nostalgic sentimentality ap proaching bathos. His lugubrious dit ties seem to ask In windy ramble "Is It possible I have made the mis take or loving you too much?" or "I have stopped eating and sleeping be cause of the pain my unrequited love gives me." Somebody should shake this oft-time talented composer out or what seems to bs Incurable romanticism. IT IS impossible to characterize this Gaston Means in any parliamentary language. He is simply beyond the pale of oivilized or self respecting expression. All that society can do is lock him up in a penitentiary and keep him there. No doubt modern scientists would find him abnormal physi cally'and mentally. In a sense no doubt all oruel and calculating oriminals are But that, in our view, is no defense. The less susceptible they are to normal scruples and inhibitions, the more dangerous they are to others, and the more care society should exercise, to see they are kept where they can injure no one but thcmsolvcs. No Time to Sleep THERE is no point in kidding ourselves. While economic A conditions are undoubtedly improving, the protracted de pression with its attendant unrest, has created a situation that is serious. For over three years now, professional agitators and com munists, have been working to arouse the discontented to vio lent aotion. The underlying conservatism and common sense of the masses, have strongly resisted this boring from within. But there are many indications this resistance has recently weakened and may- be near the breaking point. There are mortgage riots in Iowa, milk riots in Wisconsin, seoret service men report active agitation by communists in the forest service unemployment relief camps, another bonus army is camping on the outskirts of Washington. Aocording to reliable reports, the men in this army are very different from those in the army during the Hoover administration. A vast majority of them are out and out "reds." So while sensible people will still discount wild talk of an impending revolution, there is little doubt that the present situation does represent a race between returning prosperity- or at least returning economio normalcy and serious disorders, the length and breadth of the land, FOR many months right here in Southern Oregon there have been communists, secretly but busily at work, laying their poison, trying to "cash in" on the strife and turmoil which has afflicted this section of the stato so long. It is time for the American people, here and everywhere, to be on their guard, to keep everlastingly awake. It is no time to sit back and dismiss all predictions of trouble, as merely the vaporings of super patriota and "Bolo-baiters," We have never liked that much abused term 100 percont. Americanism. But we are oonvinced that 100 percent Ameri canism unoompromisihg adherence to the basic principles upon which this country was founded is-needed today as never before. she began, "teU the Colonel he cant sleep with me tonight.

(API- Sheriff Roger Wilson of Boone county and Sheriff Carl Brown of Linn county have announced that Noble Brown confessed an attempt to slay his IB-year-old bride because he had learned she was an expectant mother prior to their marriage last February. The reputed signed statement con cerning what at first waa reported by the 20-year-old Bucklln. ,Mo. farmer as a kidnaping, was made pub- Uo last night.

He tough customer to convince so he drifts along. This new departure, whereby the skilled urologlcal surgeon can deal successfully with a considerable num ber, tho not all cases of prostatic ob struction, Is a special dispensation for grandfathers, as I see It, because It Is so much less formidable an or deal to face that It should and doea encourage many vlctlma to submit to operation before general health haa been too gravely Impaired. In this method the portion of the en larged prostate that compresses and obstructs the outlet of the bladder, la removed thru the natural channel, by means of the special cystoscopy and thus there Is no external wound, The tissue Is cut, not with a knife, but with a fine electric spark which sears tbe surface as It cuts and so prevents bleeding. Probably this new method Is not destined to supersede ordinary surgi cal prostatectomy to the extent that the diathermy method has superseded surgical tonsillectomy. Yet unques tionably It Is a blessing for grand fathers and It serves as a happy alter ative In cases where the ordinary operation Is too great a risk. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Infectious or Contagious. Please explain the difference be tween an Infectious disease and contagious disease. Mrs. W. B. Answer Any disease caused by In vasion of the body by germs (lnfec- tlon) Is an Infectloua disease. Only diseases acquired by actual contact are called contagious such aa the Itch (scabies), ringworm, erysipelas, scarlet fever, smallpox. Some con tagious diseases may be contracted also through Indirect means, for In stance scarlet fever through contami nated milk or through mouth spray Infection (conversational spray.) Fraudulent Marriage. I have an adopted daughter, who Is engaged to marry, she does not know It, but her grandmother, an uncle and a cousin on her mother's side all were Insane. She, herself, Is ap parently normal, tho It was hard for her to learn In school. The man she Is to marry has a brother, who Is mentally deficient. Mrs. M. J. G. Anawer I believe It would be a fraudulent marriage If the prospec tive husband Is not lnformd about the Insanity In the family. Off spring of such a union would be quit. likely to be defective. For the best Interest of all concerned you should apprise the man of the facte, and have the advice of a physician or physicians who know both families. (Copyright, 1933, John F. Dllle Co.)

GREETINGS EUGENE JAIL (Continued trom Page One) the fore, the "Mother to Daddy Dear" note, twice ruled out by the court as Immaterial and prejudicial. Tbe state contends this note will show Mrs. Banks as a willing participant In the murder plot. One line of tbe note was read by tbe court: It said: "It seems best If we are going to fight. to fight m the home.1 Defense alienists are expected to testify that Banks was insane at the moment of the shooting, but Is sane now, and that "he was persecuted to desperation.' Tbe state alienists are expected to hold that Banks Is a profound egotist given to homicidial boasts and threats, and a victim of paranoia with a penchant for convincing un truths. Paranoia, under Oregon law, is not grounds for an Insanity defense. me basis for legal Insanity in Ore gon, is the Inability to tell the dlf ference between right and wrong nothing else. Attorneys for both sides spent Sun. day shaping hypothetical questions to ask the alienists, Joe Hammersley of the defense line of attorneys said again Sunday that the defense case would be completed by Tuesday afternoon, and that all of the defense witnesses would be brief. Indications are the case will go to the Jury Thursday or Friday. At least two witnesses are slated to be called by the defense to teU of threats" allegedly made by the slain officer. They are May Powell, bonds- woman for some of the men Indicted for ballot theft. Banks testified May Powell came to his home the even ing before the murder, and told him of alleged threats against him by Prescott. The other is Walter Jones, mayor of Rogue River, under Indict ment aa one of the ballot stealers. The defense In Its questioning of Banks Saturday morning. Inferred that Jones had reported he heard a threat against Banks during an Ar mory meeting last February. To combat tbe defense "threat" tes timony, the state will call several wit nesses to testify, in direct contradic tion of the purported threats and other witnesses to testify that the murdered constable was known for his kindness and mildness of words, and a man of gentle ways and temperament. NEW HIGH LEVEL Inspired by firs, which drove a Medford family out Into the weather on one of the ooldest nights last winter, the Future Craftsmen of the Medford high school have built a modern cottage on Stewart avenue, which Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tumbow and their children will soon be call ing home. On December 8th the Turnbows saw their house a short distance from the same avenue, razed by flames, from whtoh they were unable to rescue any belongings. A small amount of Insurance waa paid them for the loss. Without a home, without money to buy one, they puzzled over the fu ture. If they spent the Insurance sum to buy lumber, they could not afford to pay a carpenter to put It together. If they paid a carpenter, they could not buy the lumber. Such was their plight when two classes from the Medford high school volun teered aid. Under the Instruction of Leland Mantzer, director of manual training, they started to solve the Turnbows' problem. On a lot, occupied by a very old barn constructed In 1803, they visu alized an English cottage. The Turn bows welcomed the suggestion and a house began to grow on paper. Plana were designed and as they progressed the old barn ceased to be. Twenty-five boys Joined forces to wreck the building. In It they found, to their surprise and the Turnbows' good luck, an abundance of good sound lumber. This they added to the resources of the future house. The Insurance money was spent to buy other lumber necessary to the construction and the foundation was laid Just 10 weeks ago. Today an attractive two-story house with gray shingled exterior. and white trimmed windows Inviting the public Into a very well arranged Interior, faces Stewart avenue. The boys of the architectural draw- i groups of boys worked on the project, the morning class, averaging 18. spent two hours each day In carpen tering. The afternoon class of six spent the same amount of time. Their working time was frequently brought to an early close, however, by snow and showers and several days during the 10 weeks' period the weather mode It Impossible to do any work. The time put In was as a result crammed with accomplishments, the boys were anxloua to complete the house before the end of school. It waa ready for the plasterers this week. It Is 27 feet by 40 feet In size with basement measuring 37 by 37 feet. The first floor Is separated Into six rooms kitchen, breakfast nook, din ing room and living room, bedroom, sleeping porch, laundry, and bath. On the second floor there Is adequate space for three rooms and bath, which will bo finished at a latar date. A stairway leads to the second floor, another to the basement from a .con venient hallway: The outside of the house Is equally attractive. It has two entrances, one lacing Stewart avenue, the other the cast, leading out from a side porch. A lift In the roof gives a pleasing line to tne rear or the house, from which PORTLAND, Ore., May 18.
