It feels its way instead of trying to bull it. When it bearings, before deciding on ita If a flank movement around tbe rock can be negotiated, without sacrificing an important objective, a flank movement is promptly ordered. But if that rock is directly in the path of the main offensive, the rock is smashed, and the Roosevelt tank with General Johnson at the wheel, goes reeling and plunging on. TPHE retail code is a ease in point. Tbe code originally pro- vided a maximum 40 hour week. With many stores, par ticularly food stores, operating as high as 60 hours a week, this drop was regarded as too extreme. There was a vigorous protest. Twenty-four hours after that Johnson had the code revised to The 40 hour week, as far aa food stores are concerned, was raised to 48 hours. Extra hours were also allowed on daya preceding holidays, as were 12 period of six montha. This may or may not be the result in further modification, The important thing ia not but the speed with which it waa QMALL wonder that Europe is at thia latest American what to make of it. Naturally I Because it is peculiarly, and essentially, AMERI CAN. The American soldier waa not as well trained as the professional soldier of Europe, the enemy soldier he fought, was as brave as he was. But the American soldier WAS re sourceful. He wag bound down by no rules or traditions. He adjusted himself immediately to conditions as they arose, and as a result, he was chiefly responsible for the allied victory. Under Roosevelt leadership the American citizen ia proving himself equally effective in this world war against the deprea aion. What has been done in the past means nothing to him. He ia only concerned with conditions as they exist, and what must be done to make the world safe for prosperity, not for added wealth for the few, but for greater well being, and eco nomic stability for the many, the average man. And it is IN that offensive he ia now engaged. Isn't YES it is a very interesting time, in which to live. Every day, and every way, there is something new under the sun. A real revolution ia taking place, but it ia a peaoeful revolution, and will so continue. Democracy also is demonstrating ita elasticity, ita ability to adjust itself to ohanging conditions, without breaking. While on this subject one naturally' disoerns the real reason why the Roosevelt administration ia so auccessful. It isn't luck. It isn't merely because the American people demanded a change and got it and having got it were disposed to support any new program that was advanoed. It ia essentially because, the Roosevelt administration, under stood the -real spirit of America tensed ita geniua one might say and utilized and coordinated that spirit, in the New Deal, whioh it proposed. THAT'S the answer. That ia why party lines are being for A gotten, and why the Roosevelt administration is receiving such cnthusiaetio and unanimous support. - Roosevelt speaks the people's language, he answers the popular demand ; he is in harmony with the American spirit, and every day is coordinating and utilizing that spirit This doesn't mean there are no breakers ahead. No rocks or sandy shoala. Nor does it mean, that those who are now throwing bouquets, will not, one of these days, be throwing dead cata by the tail. But it does mean, that the major victory will be won, that, before reaction aeta in, the main objective will be attained. There can be no other result, when the true spirit and genius of the American people ia genuinely embodied in the administra tion of their national affairs. Not Too Fast! IN THIS phase of the New Deal the people have an obvious duty to perform. Thia la, briefly, to show common sense and a certain spirit of reatraint. The war psychology la being used, and properly so. But no hysteria or hasty judgments are required. The more the people insist upon going slow and keeping their heads the better for all concerned. The onuses ot the depression ran deep. The economic war ot destruo'tion has been going on for a long time nearly four years, in fact. Time will be required to restore normalcy. A major opera tion must be performed before complete recovery is assured. DEOTLE therefore should not jump tp eonclusions, that this A merchant or that one ia a slaoker merely because the sign of the blue eagle, is not displayed AT ONGE.

According to news dispatch a pro- fetulon&l gentleman suffered a "ner vous collapse" after be had been ex onerated by a coroner In the case of a girl who had committed suicide. The girl ended ft "ro mance" with the gentleman by her death. Then the gentleman hast ened to a sanita rium. The gen tleman's wife had kindly offered to give up her hus band to the girl If the girl would only promise not to commit sui cide. I reckon there are many husbands like that with wives loosely bound to them and ready to give 'em up to any girl who will promise anything. There ought to be a law or maybe a national conference of husbands whose wives are asking bids on them. I'd hate to think that my wife would give me up Just to stop one girl from doing something rash; especially it the coroner, good sport, had looked Into the mess and pronounced my part In It quite savory. If my wife Is going to throw me to the tigress I hope she will save me till there are at least half a dozen girls convinced they can't be happy without me, Dr. Jekyll seemed reasonably con tent with life until he disassociated himself Into Mr. Hyde for nefarious purposes, and as soon as Hyde cut loose the doctor's troubles began. This, "complete nervous collapse" or "breakdown" la of course sheer hooey. No reputable physician or specialist for a moment regards that Idea seriously. If a doctor seems to acquiesce In the charitable covering over of a noisome scandal It is be cause he Is a physician and not .cen sor of morals and anyway it Is none of the public's business what he thinks alls his patient. But I'm a newspaper man, In a way, and so I venture to make this plea. After many years of obstinate misuse of the term "aphasia" (loss of speech) when obviously the purpose was to say loss of memory (amnesia), all but a few of the newspapers have learned to use the right word for It. DEFENSE OF FEHL (Continued from Page One) ton, sjx or seven years ago In Coos county, and said It was "bad." Known As Lad. Under cross-examination Ptnkston admitted that Burley Sexton was "H or 1ft years old at the time." Quizzed by Attorney Moody, the witness was unable to name any other Coos county schoolboy of 14 years, whose reputation waa "bad." Plnkston further stated that he had been asked to testify by A. L. Hugg, son-in-law of Walter J. Jones, convicted of ballot theft, Plnkston said he had lived on Thompson creek for 18 months. Because the state closed sooner than expected, the court receased half hour earlier than usual to allow the defense to marshal Its witnesses. The usual motion for a directed verdict, Introduced by the defense, was denied by the court. The court Issued an order that all defense witnesses 'be excused as-soon aa thsy have testified, "so as not to be drawing pay, and to keep the ex pense down." Fehl Meddling Ruled Out. A proffer of the state to produce evidence to show that Fehl had at tempted to issue writs of habeas cor pus, for the release of co-defendants In the ballot theft cases, and also attempted to secure the arrest of of ficers actively engaged In the Investi gation, was denied by the ocurt Mon day afternoon, on the grounds that It would be a "doubtful question" and prejudicial, and thus conitltut a re versible error. Assistant Attorney General Moody offered to produce evtden.t showing that Fehl, a Joint defendant had at tempted to secure the release of co- defendants, and that an Injunction enjoining Fehl had been lsued by Cir cuit Judge William D. Duncan of Klamath county. Despite this, the state's attorney declared Fehl had further attempted to Interfere. The court said Fehl had no Juris diction In the matter, however. Phil Lowd, deputy sheriff, was called by the state, to testify to the above prof fer, and the Jury was excluded during the arguments. Mmd On Stand. Lowd testified that he had loaned his auto to Wesley McKitrlck and Arthur LaDleu on the night of the robbery. La Dleu leaving hla auto be hind. The two told him. Lowd said, when he loaned thtm his auto, "we are going on a party and need, a lar?e car." La Dleu told htm, the witness said, ''we are going over to the court house to steal some whiskey, and we might get some ballots." Lowd testified that his auto was In the driveway covered with mud. and the rear compartment littered with straw. Lowd said he measured the gasoline, and the car had been driven M or 70 miles. In view of tbe fact that every Intelli gent person now knows that "nervous breakdown" or "nervous collapse" Is merely an attempt to conceal the truth, why not drop It from news writer's lingo and report Instead that the scoundrel has entered the sani tarium for some reason not disclosed? As long as this threadbare alibi Is kept ready to spread over the shoul ders of any and every crook of high degree for whom the game Is up. doesn't It offer an easy way out for the culprit with enough dough, and Is It not therefore an Incentive to wrong living? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Now Is the Time. Married three years. I am 34, my husband 31. I have continued work ing for financial reasons. I mean to work another year, and then would I be too old to take the risk of child birth? H. B. Answer Risk? You mean you might be too old to gain the blessing of motherhood. Financial reasons, eh? ' How can any man marry a wo man with such Intent? Tuberculosis. I was told that cats spread T. B. or white plague germs ... We have a kitten and our little daughter loves It . . . S. W. Answer If the kitten seems free from diseases It Is a harmless pet for your child. Children should be taught to wash the hands Immediately after handling, petting or playing with cat, dog, or other pet, as a matter of sim ple cleanliness and hygiene. Any cat or dog, If permitted to lick a child's hand or face, or to contaminate food or toys or u tens lie with saliva, may give the child worms (the eggs of which are transferred In the animal's saliva to the child's mouth). There fore It Is Important for eltbrr child or adult to carefully wash the hands with soap and water Immediately after feeding, petting or handling dog, cat or other domestic animal. Send a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress, and ask for monographs on tu berculosis and on home sanitation. (Copyright, 1933, John P. DUle Co.) Ed Note: Renders wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letters direct to Dr. William Brady, M. U., 2(15 El ea rn I no, Beverly Hills, Calif. McKitrlck and Edlngton, who en tered pleas of guilty testified that they had borrowed. Lowd's auto, to take the ballots to Rogue River, where they were burned, first being removed from a straw stack, where La Dleu had hidden them, the testimony showed. Ingrld Holmes, secretary to the county court testified that February 30, the dajr of the robbery, was her first day at the courthouse, and that she first heard of the ballot robbery between nine and 0:30 o'clock. She said Fehl generally came about that time. The secretary testified that Jones, La Dleu, Brecheen, Glenn and O. H. Brown were frequent visitors to the county Judge after February 30, and discussed private matters. The wit ness said Brown, secretary of the "Good Government Congress.", waa a frequent visitor to the court, Imme diately following the robbery. 'Elsie Olsln Brown, deputy county clerk, testified that on the morning of the robbery, County Clerk George R. Carter came Into the county court and asked for the appointment of a nlghtwatchman for the courthouse, saying: "The vault waa robbed last night, and the ballots taken." This was about 10:30 o'clock. Fehl Surprised. The witness said that Fehl "pre tended surprise" at the robbery news, though It had been known and dis cussed throughout the city and court house since 8:30 o'clock, when tt be came genernlly known. The clerk deputy testified that Fehl opposed the appointment of a night watchman, and asked "why one waa needed, with a Janitor on every floor?" and Insisted that the sheriff "could look after It." Finally he agreed if the sheriff could make the appoint ment. At noon the commissioners agreed upon the naming of W, F. Rattle a nlghtwatchman. and It was made over Fehl'a objections. The witness testified that Fehl had objected to the entry In the county court Journal of hla conversation, wherein he had expressed surprise at the theft of ballots, two or more hours sloner Nealon replied, "We can tell after the robbery discovery. ! didn't steal the ballots." was another statement the witness cred ited to Fehl, who said that Com mis -you more about that In a day or two. The witness said she typed the bonds for L. A. Banks on the evening of the Vobbery. Banks was then under arrest for criminal syndicalism, and "that Frhl directed the proceedings." She said Brecheen. Jones and La Dleu all co-defendants, were present, Amos Walker and former Sheriff Schermer born were In and out, and many others she did not know were present at the sesAlon. Corroborates Nealon. Much of the testimony Commis sioner Nealon gave last Saturday was corroboratajd by the witness. Sergeant James R. O'Brien of the state police, was the final witness for the stst. He testified to driving past the courthouse About 0 30 and 10 mlnues later seeing the Sexton Brothers in a Ford going north at Main and Riverside avenue. The next day when he learned of the ballot robbery, he recalled the Incident. It detetoped later that the Sextons and R. C. Cutr.mlngs were headed for By bee bridge with the first four pouches stolen from the vault. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre .

(Associated Press Photo) Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One) that employers may MAKE PROFITS with which to pay wages. wytARK that statement: "So that iVl employers may MAKE PROFITS with which to pay wages.'1 It Is TRE MENDOUSLY Important. Wages can come only OUT OF PROFITS. There Is nowhere else for them to come from. If the employer can't make a profit, he can't pay wages, for there Is nothing to pay them with. If you ever worked for a man who went broke, you know that. When your employer went broke, you LOST TOUR JOB. SO. IF the national Recovery program Is to bring about Increased pur chasing power by raising wages, It must make It possible- for the em ployer to earn a profit so he can PAT BETTER WAGES. Don't ever forget this: If your em ployer can't earn a profit, he can't pay you good wages. So dont grudge him the chance to earn a fair profit. It is his FAIR profit that enables him to pay you fair wages. The president and hla advisers know this, and that Is why they pro pose to make It possible for employers to earn a fair profit. The Industrial recovery program proposes to bring about fair profits, Just as it proposes to bring about fair wages. One can't exist without the other.

The non-food retallera had a minimum scale a dollar lower with a further il reduction for the lfi aouthern atatea and the Dlatrlct of Columbia. The same regional reduc tion appllea to the food dealer. Besides the wage terms, the two codes called for maintenance of a minimum 'of S3 houra operation un less recent practice was lower, and they bar all child labor except thoae over 14 for three hours between T a. m. and 7 p.m. The two agreementa for retallera and food dealers will be In fore, only temporarily, pending hearings at which their terms may be revised be fore becoming permanent. But those who subscribe to them now may ob tain the blue eagle poster of NJI.A. Just like those who comply with the voluntary wage-raising, hour-reducing presidential agreement. Thousands Sign Up Increasing thousands were signing the latter. Today the post offices all over the country began distributing In earnest the distinctive insignia which go zto those who "do their part." The grand total of applicants was not known but the recovery ad ministration staff at last had added up the telegrams and letters that re piled to President Roosevelt's nation al appeal for cooperation. Fifty thousand personal messages were in that stack. Thirty thouaand telegrams, twenty thousand letter,. Not all were pledges to aid the presi dential program, but dissenters and cranka were a amall minority. Meantime, the hearing on the steel code, started yesterday, waa In recess, subject to recall, but with official of the government and lnduatry be ginning negotiations to reduce the agreement's complex phases to term which meet President Roosevelt's ob jectives. Ponder Oil Code Simultaneously, leaders of the oil Industry considered a tentative new draft of a code for themselves, writ ten by Johnson's assistants. They will meet tonight to appoint committees to formulate a final, binding agree ment. Johnson'a plan la based on federal supervision of oil production and prohibits sales at less than cost of production. Equally Important was the Increas ing momentum in dealing with -actual, concrete codes of fair competi tion for Individual Industries.
