Portland ED 'lW Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. 800 Chicago policemen surrounded three kidnapers, and the kidnapers scaped without a single policeman losing his pints or pistol. The "power trust" Is In for another lambasting at the hande or the Ore gon candidates for governor. As the "power trust" only pays one-third of the total taxes that are paid In this state, the quicker the natlvea are aroused to put them out of business, the better. .... Hunters, who under the law have nothing to hunt at this season of the year, have started accidentally killing calves, which when dead and skinned are known as veal, and fine eating. If the accidental hunters would acci dentally kill a pole-cat, or other un eatable creatures, from time to time, the skeptics would have more faith In the sincerity of their accidents, ... An upstate paper figures, "that In Jackson oounty the goats have been separated from the eheep." We yield to no man In clvta pride, but classify. Ing the population as goats and sheep, Is perfect. ' The NRA code for barbers Is dras tic It provide! that if a patron Is half-shsved. when the 48-hour week Is up, the barber MUST complete the teak, even If It Is time for the barber to quit. The barber will not be re garded as unpatrlotto and detrimen tal to the president, If he works three minutes overtime, to have the patron completely and scientifically shorn. The same rule applies to the beauty doctors, who are noted for their lack of cures. ... PIONEER OtRI, GIDDINESS (Pendleton East Oregonlan) It Is getting to be a very seri ous question: Shall our girls and boys read the Police Gazette and such publlcatlona? A few days ago In Pendleton we saw a girl ten years of age perusing the Gazette with oonslderable Inter est. When she came to the rude pictures of women and men In tights she was very much affect ed. Bhe turned the leaves over and over as If she longed to lire long enough to have her picture In the paper. Two or three months ago we sew a respectable young woman take a Police Oa Bette out of her pocket In church. What will become of our girls if we continue to have, such publications In the family? (50 Yrs. Ago Col.) . 8. Relgel towned Tours, wearing overalls that tit htm like a pr. of golf trousers. Once a celebrated southern Oregon bandit was robbing Mr. Relgel and others on Blsckwell Hill. Mr. Relgel gave vent to some profsnlty, snd the bandit reprimand ed him with the business end of a six-shooter, for using Improper lan guage tn the presence ot women. ... "PENNY PINOHINO FRETS F D R." (Hdllne 8F. Examiner.) It s pinch Ing the 130 bills that msde the na tion what It Is today. Two notorious bandits have been arrested this week on farms In Okie noma and Kansas. They have been hiding for quite some time there. Hereafter, Instead of finding the woman, the law will devote Its energy to finding the farm. . The heat continues, In spit ot the fact that all the up and coming faahlonable girls have been suffici ently tanned, and all the vitamin thy bablea have been broiled In the tun. No Infant Is proper unless It has lain exposed to Old Sol until Its viscera and lumbar regions are a dull mahogany color. A large percentage of the feminine elbowa have started to peel, like an alder tree, from ex posure to the elements. This Is their own lookout, and they will no more stay out of the sun. thsn they will stay In the house If there Is any dlshwsshlng to do. But infanta are helpless. They can do nothing but lay In the sun. and try to unfasten a aafety.pin. They seem to know If they get tht tsfety.pln loose and swallow It, they will be placed. n Um shade. Inefficient Government IIOW long would any big business last, if its policies were determined by its stockholders instead of its officers and board of directors! Not long. No large business could be conducted successfully if its administrative officers had to secure the consent of the stockholders every time s new plan was adopted, or if any change of policy could be instituted at any time, by one stock holder, or a group of stockholders. The state of Oregon is a big business. And yet under the Oregon system that is the way affairs are conducted. We have state officers in charge of direct administration. And we have a board of directors, which we call a legislature. But through the initiative, referendum and recall, no impor tant action can be taken without first securing the consent of the stockholders the voters and at any time a complete change of policy can be imposed by one voter, or group of voters. The new tax exemption bill is a case in point. According to reports from Salem, this measure has been initiated and will appear on the ballot at the next election. It would allow a $1200 exemption to all owners of Oregon property who are residenta of the state. Residents of other states who own pro perty here would be assessed the full amount. A fool bill if there ever was one. Less than half the taxes are being paid now. What will be paid with an added $1200 exemption 1 Yet in all likelihood the measure will pass. It sounds good, and anything that sounds good will get by at the polls. In other words our entire system of taxation may be changed over the protests of every competent state official, and against the judgment of every citizen informed on tax problems, be cause some voter conceived another bright idea, and as usual found no difficulty in getting a sufficient number of other voters to subscribe to it. The entire system is all wrong, as well as absurd. The initiative, referendum and recall are perfectly sound measures of legislation when properly used, but as at present regulated they are not properly used. At least not in this instance, and many others. . They should be used only as protective measures, only when representative government breaks down, not whenever the whim may strike any group of voters. In other words when there is a strong demand for certain legislation and the state legislature refuses to enact it, the initiative should be used and only then. When the legislature passes a bill which is against the will of the yoters, the refer endum should be used, and only then. When an elected official has been guilty of gross incompetence and flagrant irregular ities, the recall should be employed and only then. This end could be brought about simply by amending the present system and requiring a great number of signatures, so that only when there was a real public demand for such action, the action could be taken. Until this is done, the Oregon system so called instead of being a step toward better government is a step toward more inefficient and more wasteful government. Personal Health Service .

Square Hotel, The doorman ' from Dayton, O., and a double for Victor Herbert, used to slide me In with a faked reach for a ticket. The fare waa sobby melodrama and I came out with eyes slightly red. But the crying was about something else. I waa magnificently young. But the boy grew older and there was no outlet for tears. Often during the past three years I have noticed and how well I spot the symptoms I young folk struggling along street to keep back tho freshets. They can't fool me. They have Just come from a disappointing rebuff. And when I see them memory dips sharply down hill. I want to tell them It will prob ably be all right. There lives In Boston'a retired but ler, a cordy Scotsman named Mac Oregor, who opens many huge estates on Long Island, Newport and Narra- gansett. He brings a hand-picked crew, then staffs the eatabllshmente with careful selections. He Is said to make enough during these few weeks to keep him In comfort the rest of the year. John Drew used to have a butler named Hector. III. His father and grandfather were distinguished for buttling before him. And then there waa Wilson Mlanera owl-eyed left over valet-butler from the Yerkee menage. Mltmer celled him "sniggle frit a." Oratltude, said some one who did not make Bartlett, is a lively antici pation of favors yet to come. Resistance la something to gret the poor chap did not have. An announce ment in the of ficial organ of the American Medical associa tion of which I'm a Jolly good Fellow, you know, as well as a thorn in the flesh warned, all our dumb docks last Feb ruary that "the hazards of exposure, of stuffy indoor living at thla time of year made It especially Important to keep general resistance built up." The same week the following warn ing was broadcast through the dally papers of the country: "Watch out for drafts, wet feet, raw winds, stuffy rooms, of course, but don't depend entirely on outer precautions. Build up your inner resources. Increase your general resistance. In both instance the Implication was that all you had to do w&a take a cod liver oil concentrate which was provided In convenient form. No harm In that. Nor have I any objection to the exploitation of pop uiar credulity by the manufacturer of the high class nostrum. Only I do think we snooty members or fellows of the American Medical association play a sorry role in the game. It looka to me as though the big nos trum maker first handa ua a snug sum for permitting him to publish his announcement In our official pa per of course carefully edited so it won't sound too absurd. Then he can turn to the lay press with all the assurance In-the world, for doea ne not come practically bearing the In dorsement of the entire medical pro fession Of the country? Here It la proper to sasert once more and I doubt that any officer or member of the American Medical association will attempt to refute the assertion that there Is no scientific foundalon for the notion that any one can have "general resistance" which protects against all or against many diseases, respiratory or other wise. I further assert that any phy sician who undertakes to "build up resistance" Is merely marking time with Impressive language. Immunity la a well established scientific fact. We have some evidence for the be lief that cod liver oil may aid in the development of the fullest degree of Immunity against tha crl, due to the richness of cod liver oil in Vitamin halibut liver oil or any other fish liver oil. The ultraviolet rays of sunlight or any artificial light that contains ultraviolet rays probably aide the normal development of Im munity against upper respiratory In fections and sinus infections. Be- sides the fish liver oils. Vitamin A la present In yolk or egg. in raw fresh milk and cream and butter (not pas teurized), in orange, ripe banana, sweet potato, yellow corn, pineapple,' yellow turnip, carrot, parsnips, liver, kidney, sweetbreads, most of the green leafy relishes and raw salad vege tables. But It Is utterly ridiculous for phy sicians to even seem to acqulsce In the suggestion that drafts, wet feet, raw winds, stuffy Indoor living or otner similar "hazards of exposure" have anything to do with disease, even If we do make good money by giving the Idei our sanction. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS So You're Going to Keep the Baby? Please advise me of some books con cerning babies and their care. We are a young married couple. D. S. C. Answer Do you mean to tell me send a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your address and let me start you off right with "The Brady Baby Book." After you've conned that, it will be safe enough to Inquire at the public library for any of the follow ing books: fllemons' "Prospective Mother" (Ap- pieion, pubiisner), Richardson's "Sim. pllfylng Motherhood" (Putnam's, pub. usher), Brodhead's "Approaching Momernood" (Hoeber, publisher) , Griffith's "Care of the Baby" (Saun ders, publisher). I have a special letter of instructions for any expect ant mother wno provides stamped en velope Bearing ner address. Also one on Infant feeding. Baby Has Slight Hernia. Baby, eight montha old, still wear ing bands, as her navel protrudes about half an Inch. Doctor told us to keep her bands on, but that does n't seem to do any good, and It Is so hot for her to wear woolen bands now . . . Mrs. C. L. B. Answer The bands are useless. Discard them. Pucker the sxln up by pulling It together with one hand crosswise on the belly, and apply z, o. adhesive straps half an Inch wide ana o inches long crosswise to re tain the skin ' in a pucker over the navel. Change the straps once a week or oftener. Such a support for several months may bring about spontaneous cure of the hernia. . (Copyright, 1933. John P. Dllle Co.)
