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

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.

It Can't
EVERYONE knows whiskey and gasoline don't mix. 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.

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.

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.

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. RIppev,
Clara Jewel, MUburn Harvey, Albert

Mrs. Harvey, who lives near the

reading and enjoys good health, ex
cept for a defect In hearing, which
she blames on an auto accident of

O. A. Tlmmer, a six-foot Swede In
overalls, owns tht farm. He Is af
fectionately known to the nudists as
"Tlmmy." He has not yet been talked
into disrobing and goes about placidly
with hammer and saw, repairing what
needs to be repslred.
Talkative Flock.
While "Tlmmy" doesn't go In for
much talking, tht nudists themselves
will satisfy any conversational de
sires tht visitor may have. One
young man approached this corres
pondent, Identified himself as a Cor
nell medical student, and said:
"Have you heard about our hemo
globin experiments? We are making
these experiments and they are very
Interesting. We examine the hemo
globin of a person upon his arrival
In camp. Then, after two weeks In
tht sun, ,we examine It again. This
phase of sun-effect has never been
explored before."
The nudists, men snd women alike,
lovt to tell you about their first ex
perience tn stripping. All ot the

Thought She Would Faint,
A young woman who used to be
book buyer In a New York department
store, said that when the took her
clothes off for the first time In front

fslnt.
"But It Just wasn't anything at all,
really," she explained "It Just seem
ed perfectly natural. It felt Just as
natural then as you and I feel, stand
ing here right now without clothes
on."

A Miss Peters, who speaks with a
German accent. Is In charge of the
orthopedlo exercises, which occur
each morning In the "rubbing down
room." Flvt or six men and women,
all nude, get down on their hands
and knees after putting on gloves and
drawing halt socks over their knees.
Then they begin crawling, In the
manner of the caterpillar. This pre
sents a very grotesque appearance,
with Miss Peters going from one to
another, straightening spines and one
thing and another.
Scribe Remains Upright.
A special performance of the ortho
pedic exercises was staged for this
correspondent's benefit. Miss Peters
tried to talk tht visiting reporter Into
trying a few creeps and crawls. This
Invitntlon, however, was turned down
on the grounds that the writer's spine
felt and acter perfectly normal In
an upright posture.
One young man, an ardent nudist,
has constructed two catamarans for
rowing about the lake, holding that
the catamaran shows off the humsn
figurt to greater advantage than a
mere row boat. Thla correspondent

dists at work on the catamarans, that
the young man's vision waa authen
