There U a wave of Drunken Drivers catapulting up and down the high ways strewing Death and Disaster. These social Idiots suffer from the quaint delusion that prohibition re peal grants them a license to run hog-wild In an auto, with scant re gard for the rights or safety of oth ers. The Monday papers are sprin kled with Items devoted to auto acci dents, and the Saturday nights are becoming hideous with the groans of victims, and the crash of fast mov ing vehicles. Everybody has pledged themselves that the old-fashioned ra'oon shall not roturn to the corner. Something should be done about the undertaker and the doctor rushing out Saturday night to corners that Called to straighten out sufficiently for alcohollo autolsts. The old tashloned corner saloon, that the hand of every man la turned against, In Us roughest day and night seldom showed a casualty list that oould compare to the average corner acci dent. The Drunken Driver Is a major nuisance, now unwittingly engaged In a campaign to Insure the return of prohibition, such ss It was, the first time the voters get a chance. For his own good, imd the good of all who use the highways, he should be placed where there are no week-end dances, and the warden Is meaner than a district attorney.

Yet the - attempt to do so, throughout the country, goes tragically on. The time has come, in fact it has long since arrived to call a halt. There are drastic laws against driving while intoxicated. These laws must be rigidly and impartially enforced. With the repeal of prohibition, only a question of months, even heavier penalties are advisable, and an even more determined drive against the drunken driver, must be undertaken. Behind such a drive there should be a united and militant public opinion. There can be no compromise on such a question, the results are'too tragic, the situation too deadly serious. Those who can't themselves discern such an obvious truth, must be taught by hard and bitter experience. Toward this end all right thinking people should unite for with the repeal of prohibition it will be a matter of self preservation, a civic and patriotic duty which no self respecting citizen can shirk. . , "NE attitude toward drinking must be eliminated. This is a product of an ago that has passed, namely that "get ting drunk," if not praiseworthy is rather "smart" particu larly among the young. The advent of the machine age defin itely ended all that. Such an assumption never had any sound basis. But to perpetuiito it in this day and age, is simply criminal. The automobile is here to stay. It is neither a luxury, nor a convenience. It is a necessity, in our day-to-day life. But putting whiskey into the gas tank along with gasoline, turns the automobile into a dungerous weapon, dangerous not only to the man at the wheel, and those in the car, but to all who come within striking distance, in short to the public, at large. The New Deal as far as hard liquor is concerned, MUST therefore mean an era of greater temperance. It MUST mean the absolute divorce of liquor and gasoline. It must mean that the individual who can't handle his drinks, can't handle his car or any OTHER car. It must mean an end to the smart Alec conception of "hitting 'cr up," as far as motor travel is concerned. It must mean, by common consent, that the individ ual who persists in trying to mix whiskey and gasoline has no place in modern society, his only place is behind the bars. STRINGENT laws can do much toward this end. But laws can't do everything. Laws are only as effective as publio opinion behind them. With the repeal of prohibition, there must be a public opin ion aroused against not the proper usej but the ABUSE of alcohol, which will make drunken driving not only a crime, but socially a disgrace. Such a public opinion will be absolutely demanded, t,o make the New World safe for those who live in it. The County Audit 'T'HE result of the audit of the county books was about as A predicted in this column many months ago. Minor discrepancies were revealed of course, but by and large they were only such as one would expect, in the adminis tration of any business, conducted by human beings who are neither infallible, nor above making mistakes. There was no justification WHATEVER for the noise and fury about corrup tion and crookedness, which was bandied about, so long a time before the audit wag ordered, and w.hich was the main cause for having it done, at that particular time. PUBLIC audits tire nothing new. They have been conducted from time to time in city and oounty affairs, but beoause the auditors have been local there have been oharges of "white wash" and insinuations that the accountants responsible have been members of some mythical gang. The present audit was made by an autside accountant, which eliminates any such suspicions, however unwarranted, and we believe this policy is wise and should be continued in the future. JUIEANWHILE although there was nothing startling in the audit, little in fact of any genuine news interest we feel that the more the people of the county study the audit and understand the reoommendntions made, the better for all con cerned. Some of our bookkeeping methods, we understand, are out of date, and certain phases of department accounting, discour age rather than encourage, personal responsibility, and the easy gathering of accurate information, by tho proper investigatory bodies. The Mail Tribune questioned the 'wisdom of ordering the audit, under existing financial conditions. But the AUDIT was ordered. No wthat it has been completed, lot's get as a community, all the good we can out of it, Tho first step in this direction is to give tho pcoplo all the saliant details concerning it, and as quickly as possible, chang ing clerical methods to conform with tho obviously sound recom mendations made therein.

PASS THE BREAD AND B XPL'NGB THE POTATOES A correspondent who signs bis let ter "Tin Doctor" gives me proper dressing down and bids me stop him If he Is wrong. Come, come, if I undertake to stop everybody who la wrong I'm afraid I'd never find any time for my bowling. No, if you Insist on be ing wrong tt is your affair. All I can do is to carry on my fight for the right and bide my time till you grow up and learn soraflthlng There Is a strangely familiar sound about the old hokum bunkem this "Tin Doctor" friend attempt to palm off on me: "We pamper our digestive tract with soft, palatable, partially pre-digeated foods, which brings on atrophy of certain glands of Internal secretion. ..." I wish the gentleman would not hang his hat on his nose when he gives a lecture. , . . , ", , . This results In change In composition of secretions of these glands. For Instance the saliva no longer holds Its calcium In suspension. . . ." This Is news indeed. Heretofore we have assumed the efillva Is the secre tion of parotid, submaxillary and sublingual glands (three pairs of glands), but according to this unique conception of "Tin Doctor" the saliva Is produced by a gland or glands of Internal secretion. ". . . and consequently some calcium is deposited on the non-self-cleaning surfaces of the teeth. . . ." When my den tor was oleanlng my teeth recently he pointed out the predilection of the outer surfaces of the upper molars for the calcareous deposit which X called tartar but he called something else, something harder to scale from the teeth then ordinary tartar. At that point the saliva from the parotid gland (the gland that swells tn mumps) Is eject ed from the duct Into mouth cavity. But what of It? Everybody is more or lees subject to the formation of suoh deposits on the t 4th. no matter whether he brushes his teeth relig iously or never, and everybody must go to the dentist at Intervals If he wishes to keep his teeth clean and free from such deposit. Tin Doctor" winds up with this diatribe: "If you came to my office for treatment of any character with accumulations of potatoes, bread, Mrs. Harvey Neighbor of Lincoln Before Coming To Oregon in Early Day (By Eva Nealon Hamilton.) Abraham Lincoln was quite the same as any other person on the street to Mrs. Auletta Merrlman Har vey, beloved southern Oregon pio neer, when she left Springfield, 111., to cross the plains 81 years ago. But today, whenever the conversation can he edged around that way, the Uttle silver-haired woman never misses a chance to say, "I used to live across the street from Lincoln." And so she did, she told the story again last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. M. Wilson, when coaxed Into a review of a four-year-old girl's impressions of a Journey from Illinois to Oregon behind a team of oxen, with Indians In the bushes and rivers at the flood. And It was in relation to the latter that Mrs. Harvey, who recently cele brated her 85th birthday, volunteered this bit of Information, "You can't get an ox to put his head under water." Contradicting all the stories and pictures of the famous crossings of the Piatt river, which doused the heads of oxen well under the waves, Mrs. Harvey made her declaration "It Just cant be done. I saw too many of them going across, I haven't forgotten. They never got their heads wet." "But they did stampede when they smelled Indians." That old story Mrs. Harvey verified, and with a very in teresting tale. She was standing alone In the Merrlman wagon, one in which the wide circle of 50 Included in the emigrant train of '99. when suddenly oxen and horses smelled In dians, and the sampede was on. There wasn't time for anyone to remove the Uttle girl from the wagon, so around the circle she went as thun dering hoofs carried her through the stages of the stampede. And when it was all over she was still standing in her father's wagon. There were Just three white men In the Rogue River valley when the Merrtmans, Constants and Leevera ar rived to settle near central Point, Mrs. Harvey recalled. The three were mining near Jacksonville. During the strenuous wagon trip, Mrs. Merrlman and baby son died, leaving Thomas Merrlman alone with his four-year. oil daughter. Mother and baby were burled on the plains. There were many Indians, and the Uttle girl, Auletta. soon took them to be her playmates. She learned to speak their language, and hasn't for gotten how. When she meets a red man In Klamath Falls or at Crater Lake today she calls to them In the old "Jargon. and It still brings an answer. And it Ul a little shiver to the aptne. Mrs, Harvey admitted, with her Jolly laugh, which M birthdays haven't dulled, ror ahe really was snd is afraid of Indians. She remetn ben too well the tragedies leading meat and other accretions be tween and around the necks of your teeth, like many others who have read your articles about the oare of the teeth, I am afraid No fear, my dear dentor. Fortun ately I don't care for potatoes un less they're quite crisply fried, and mighty few cooks know how to fry 'em the way I want 'em. Besides, a dentor who regards the saliva as an "Internal secretion" might regard my perfectly innocent wisdom tooth as a cervical rib and attempt to remove It. Haven't you confused your nick names, too, Dentor? The term "tin doctor" signifies a nurse who gets a Job working for the local school board or some Industrial or commer cial firm, then proceeds to double as doctor for any of the peasants who will stand for that kind of near medical service. In short, the nurse quacks It for t30 a week, and so saves her philanthropic employers the cost of a physician's services In many a case where such services are really required.

Ed Note: Readers wishing to ' communicate with Dr. Brady should send letters direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D 28.1 El Ca mlno, ' Beverly Hills, Calif. up to the Indian war, during which her family fled to Douglas county to live in a fort during the years of 'S5 and '66. After coming to southern Oregon, Mrs. Harvey's father married again. one of the pioneer Riddle family. When the Indian war broke out his wife's little sister, Clara, had died. An Indian boy who had been living with the Merrlmans. became terribly alarmed and Insisted that the little girl be burled immediately. Queried, he revealed the first news of the war' to the Merrlmans, announcing that "Indians on warpath. Kill all whites. Bury her soon." Before the family got out of the Rogue River valley tha tragedies had begun. The Harris home, not far from the Merrlman's, was fired upon by the Indians. Mr. Harris was killed and the little Harris boy, who figures in most reports of the Indian war, had disappeared, never to return- Mrs. Harvey didn't know the boy. But she remembers well the horrible stories which spread through the early settlement. Since those very early days, Mrs. Harvey has lived in various parts of the Rogue River valley. When she was 19 she was married at the Mer rlman ranch to J. B. Busan. Two daughters were born to the union Mrs. Nate Otterbeln of Klamath Palls and Mrs. K.. M. Wilson of Medford. She was later married to J. B. Har vey, and two sons were born. John Harvey or Santa Ana, CaL, and WIT Ham Harrison Harvey, deceased. At her recent birthday party m Ashland, where Mrs. Harvey has lived for as years, five generations of her family were represented, ahe recalled with pride during her visit last week at the Wilson home here. Her grandchildren are: Birdie Mc Donald, Georgia Sloan, Louis P. Hoagland, Grace Hijack. Pern Smith, Maude Ooeller. Lloyd O.

Mrs. Harvey, who lives near the Twin Plunges In Ashland, does her own housework and enjoys her Inde pendence. She wears glasses only for reading and enjoys good health, ex cept for a defect In hearing, which she blames on an auto accident of a year ago. SALEM.
