Arthur Moes post cards thoy are dyeing poodles pink In Pares, run's fun, but It's tough to make a alasy out of a pooch. There Is enough of the human kind. Bert Ennle, a scholarly observer, three-sheets attention to need of a purge for radio vulgarity. Since tlie kick-off, broadcasting had little un seemly ribaldry for the very reason children are potential listeners. Yet lately there has crept In rowdy refer ences to oatlhartlcs, tapeworms and the other morning someone spoke of "Louie the Louse." And oasoadee further disillusion ment that radio applause Is largely Inspired. Audlencea In studios are directed when to start the hand-olap-plng and at what point to ceaas by means of cards held aloft by attendants. Por years I taavs been one of the amateur maglolana boring company Insufferably on long winter nlghta with clumsy prestidigitations. As a result I have spent precious hours prowling about magic shops and spec ialized establishments catering to pro fessionals. Houdlnl taught me one evanlahment he claimed to have or iginated, and known to no other save his wife. My library on magto la amall but comprehensive. The other day a storage warehouss reported the loaf, of two trunks, lodged there when launching a bravura In housekeeping. Today I learned tlhey contained my magic paraphernalia collected over a period of 30 years. Magic has play ed no part In my Ufa for six years, yet tonight somehow 1 feel an Bd Wynn without hat,. At old Ranuneratein'a an Australian magician carried a Hon for a dlaap pearlng act. After one matinee the runway to It cage fell, and the beast walked through an alley to the street. Pedcatrlane shlnnled up ahade trees and lamp posta. The lion am bled amiably to the front of a saloon and haunohed directly before the en trance. Everybody cringed, waiting for riflemen. Then in sudden hor ror they saw a drunk who lurched unconcernedly through the awing doors and, passing the Hon reached down, patted Its head and ataggered on. I have thought the Incident a magnificent comedy cllohe for a movie short. Speaking of loose animals. Central Park and Riverside Drive have be come' a stalking grounds for danger ous and unleashed police dogs, on two occasions I hsve seen them tear Into smaller and harmleas peta and rip them open.

Among wearer are MayoeUe OiweU, Mrs, The Kaleidoscope TTAliK about speed I The rapidity with which the international situation is changing, can only be compared to a kaleido scope geared on the fan belt of a twin-six engine. Less than three days ago, it was the world against Germany. Today it is the world against Prance. Tomorrow it will prob ably be something else again. No one can tell, or keep up with the headlong dash of contemporary history. e e WITH Hitler rattling the Kaiser's rusty sabre, and war feared in every foreign office in Europe, it was the world against Germany. Then came President Roosevelt's demand for disarmament and peace. Hitler not only executed an immediate right-about-face, but turned a complete somersault. He accepted the Roose velt proposal, agreed war would be a world calamity, pledged his country to reduction of armaments. More than that. The following day at Geneva he endorsed the British proposal for world readjustment, by peaceful means. . . . PRESTO I Unofficially at least, the United States welcomed Germany's changed policy. Great Britain also. But Prance, through its premier, refused. "We judge Ger many by its deeds, not its words," declared Deladier, to the Chamber of Deputies. "France has a strong army now. That strength will not be impaired." But unless that strength is impaired, France's present army and expenditures for armaments reduced, the demands made both by the United States and Great Britain, can't be met. So we have Germany, England and the United States on one side, Pranoe on the other. IT'S A GREAT game this game of diplomaoy and internation al politics. Always complex and confusing, always one thing on the surface, and entirely different underneath, the addition of speed to the development of important events, has rendered a clear understanding of the status quo,, and any sound predic tions of what the future holdst quite impossible. It can only be deolared once more : "We don't know where, we are going, but we are on our way." 1 A New World, Mates AS WITH the international picture, so with the domestic picture here in America, Change after change with the tempo of lightning. Small wonder so few realize we are plung ing headlong through a revolution a peaceful revolution, economic rather than military, but a revolution nevertheless. And what is coming out of it f It would take the seventh son of a seventh son to say, but one thing is fairly certain: an entirely new deal for business, particularly for big business. There is going to be a new and definite economic plan. Output is going to be controlled, profits are going to be reduced. Speculation as it has been will be curtailed in radical fashion. The principle of the farm allotment plan which merely means controlled production will undoubtedly be extended to industry. If there is an overproduction of ooal or steel or oil, the producers will have -to curtail production, submit to a quota system, and to a certain established scale of unit profits. T LEAST that ia our view which, of course, may or not A" be, see it, there is no other logical or possible outcome. Eggs can't be unsorambled, the hands of history can't be turned back. What so many call the "good old days" may or may not have been as good as we thought them ; but they are certainly NOT ooming back. The era of the elder Morgans and Rocke fellers, the Harrimans and Hills, has passed, a new era is in the offing in faot it is already here. "lVJEW worlds for old," as H. G. Wells declared many years ' ago. But to our mind it won't be communism, or even socialism at least not as Marx defined it. It will be capitalism, but an entirely new, and hitherto untried, capitalism. More than that, we believe the new world will be a BETTER world, not better for the favored few, but infinitely better for the rank and file. Human rights, not property rights will be paramount; business will be eonducted, not for profits alone; but to bring about the greatest good to the greatest number. That as we see it, is not only the vision of our real states men, but an immutable law of Nature up and down, back and forth, but the MASS ultimately always moves upward and up I Personal Health Service By William Brady, MX).

A correepondent aska whether drainage from wptlc tanks Into ft garden near by pollute the soil and makes It unsafe to eat vegetables grown In the gar den. The answer Is no, with Unim portant excep tions. ' There Is prac tically no good o v 1 d e nee that such contamina tion of soil Is ft source of any known intestinal Infection such as typhoid fever, dys entary, cholera. The soil naturally digests and purifies such organic matter, at least the soil close to the surface. Carcasses or other animal or vege table matter buried or worked Into the soil within a foot or two of the surface quickly undergo decomposi tion, which Is a bacterial process that utilizes oxygen from the air, and dis ease germs present In the matter so added to the soil are soon destroyed or dendered Incapable of producing disease. But If such organic matter be burled several feet deep, especially In clay or Band, It may resist decomposi tion for many years. The bacteria of the soil must have oxygen and hence they thrive only in the top soil. Intestinal parasites, especially hook worm, round worm, tape worm .or rather their eggs, do survive In pol luted soil, and In the Instance of hookworm the eggs develop Into lar vae In the soli, and we know that persons who go barefoot where the soli is polluted with hookworm may contract "dew itch'Vor "toe itch." which li the skin irritation caused by penetration of the hookworm larvae, and a little later the parasites enter ing the body In that way lodge in the duodenum and the host develops the characteristic apemla and "no ac count" languor of hookworm disease. But even these parasitic Infesta tions are quite effectually guarded against by ordinary washing of vege tables or fruits which are to- be eaten raw, and of course all risk of Infec tion via contamination of such pro duce by polluted soil is obviated by ordinary cooking. A leaky cesspool or broken drain which discharges into the soil seve ral feet below the surface may pol lute the ground water, but the same surcharge upon or near the surface Is comparatively harmless In that re spect. ' Below six feet the soil Is usually sterile or practically free from germ life. The soli of graveyards, contains no more bacteria or disease germs than does the soil of a garden. Experiments have proved that It is very difficult or Impossible to make known disease germs grow or survive in soil. The soil temperature Is too low. its oxygen, sunlight and nutritive elements are not suitable for disease germs. Tetanus bacilli (lockjaw germs) are about the only disease germs that do exfit In soil recently fertilized with manure the tetanus bacillus Is a natural Inhabitant of the Intestinal tract of horses, cows, sheep and per haps other domestic and wild ani mals. 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Lockjaw. Is there a serum that cures lock jaw? M. J. Answer Antitetanus serum (te tanus antitoxin) -is most efficacious as a prophylactic dose, which should be given the patient as soon as pos sible after any wound or Injury which may Involve such Infection. Once the disease has developed, the anti toxin is of value only when adminis tered in very large doses, at least 40, 000 units, Into the muscles or other tissues, Into the vein and into the cistern or space around the brain and spinal cord. Most lives are saved when the tetanus antitoxin Is In jected into the cistern through a tre phine opening In the skull. Goitre. After careful examination, physic ian said I have exophthalmic goitre and the only cure is operation, but he suggested I get the opinion of another physician, which I did, and the 'second man said medical treat men would probably control the trouble. The first physician says It may do so for a while, but eventu ally, maybe 20 years from now, I will reach a crisis and have to be ope rated on ... I am now 21. ... L. H. M. Answer Time to cross that) crisis when you come, to It. It Is a Wonderful Machine. Kindly tell me why It Is that the body maintains a steady temperature around 08.5 degrees F. whether one Is living in equatorial heat or in the extreme cold of polar regions , . . W. G. Answer That's a ' thing I've often wondered about, too. You might get the lowdown about the regulation of the body emperature by consulting Howell's Textbook of Physiology, which you can find In every library. (Copyright 1933, John 7. Dllle Co.) Communications Condemns Fishing Methods To the Editor: Having recently returned from a ten day fishing trip in the vicinity of Savage Rapids, I respectfully re quest space In your valuable publica tion, to offer a few observations. The purpose of this article Is not to at tack any one, but to state a few facts, which the general sporting public should know. In the first place, the average, ordinary Izaac Walton of limited means who contemplates spending the week end in the particular terri tory, adjacent to Savage Rapids should first mortgage his house and lot to finance himself, for obviously, that is the one specific section of the universe where the depression has not struck. For years the price of a clumsy rowboat here has been two dollars per day, and the privilege of fishing from a pier, which cost ten dollars to build, has been $1.50 per day, per Individual. If the fisherman owns his own boat he must first hand over a "launching fee" of 95, prior to approaching the water. This fee ontltlcs htm to paddle across the Rogue as many times au he chooses during the fishing season, which us ually lasts about six weeks. Every available foot of land on either side of the water front below this dam Is privately or corporately owned. Every where the outing seeker Is confronted, with a breastwork of barbed wire en tanglements, and faced with a bat tery of signs reading: "Keep out," "No fishing," "No camping," "No trespassing." Five hundred dollars fine for doing this or doing that. Never In my life have I seen human cussed neas so Infernally mean as I saw it here a few days ago. In some unknown manner an old couple had iun the gamut and seated themselves on the rocks near the water's edge, to watch the - fisherman and the big run of beautiful Chinook cavorting in the opalescent water below. In less than ten minutes of time the irate, hard boiled owner of the land appeared and gruffly ordered them off the premises. At the extreme lower end of the rapids a number of fishing piers have been constructed to extend far out in mid stream. The owners of this particular section of water front, which affords the finest fishing, have been seen to take as many as a dozen large salmon from one of these piers In a single day. Indeed, It would be interesting to know how many tons of fish are taken from these piers every season by two or three Individuals. It Is simply a tragedy to stand at a vantage point and observe the schools of befuddled salmon hurling themselves against the fish ladder of solid concrete, which has been pur posely placed on the wrong side of the river until they wear themselves out, and fall back exhausted to die eventually. I will leave it to any group of fair minded citizens any where to Judge whether more than one salmon out of five ever gets over this ladder to the spawning grounds above. To take a fish from this lad der with a gaff hook Ihe poorest prospector on God's footstool, -would be fined and sentenced to jail; but a bunch of movie sports from Holly wood with plenty of Jack can obtain a special permit from the state game commission and snag all they want. I stood on the opposite shore and watched several hundred pounds taken In this way, all for the benefit of the movies, and free advertising of Oregon's recreational assets, so they said. ALLEN O. HESS. Medford, Ore., May 19. Neighbors Back Sheep Owners To the Editor, the County Court of Jackson County, State of Oregon, and To Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned, are the neigh bors of V. J. Fhllllpl and Jahn Rohr on the Weaterlund Orchard in Jack son county, Oregon, and as a correc tion of the statement published in the Medford Mall Tribune of date of May 6. 1933, in reference to certain sheep which belonged to said Phll llpl and Rohr did not move -on Philllpl and Rohr did not move on to the Westerlund orchard until March 27. 1933, and at that time they brought with them the sheep which were killed by dogs as referred to in the above mentioned newspaper ar ticle. That the statement In said news paper article purporting to have been made by Deputy Sheriff Edward Leach to the effect that twenty-three .head cf said sheep had died prior to a certain date when other sheep were killed by dogs would lead the reader and public to believe that the other sheep had died from other causes. We know of our own personal knowledge that dogs made three sep arate raids upon the sheep of Mr. Phillip! and Mr. Rohr. The first raid was made on April 12, 1933, when said dogs killed 9 ewes and 6 lambs. The second raid was made on April 15, 1933, when said dogs killed 12 ewes and S lambs and the third and last raid was made by said dogs on April 24, 1033, when the said dogs killed 19 ewes, 11 lambs and 1 buck. Mr. Leach possibly was laboring under the Impression that because t,he Jambs showed different stages of decomnosttlon that the first sheep killed had died from some disease. However, we were personally present and assisted Mr. Philllpl and Mr. Rohr in rounding up the dead and Injured sheep and in treating some that were wounded and recovered. That the said article so published In said newspaper was and is erron eous, false and misleading and an un- warranted injury to the good name and reputation of Mr. Phlllipl and Mr. Rohr who truly stated and rep resented their loss.
