Protect the Bybee Death Curve
"THERE should be a warning curve sign at the Bybee corner
on the Jacksonville highway. The curve should also be
properly banked. ,
As the series of week-end disasters demonstrated, this cor
ner, as at present regulated or not regulated is a public men
ace to life and limb. '
The oorner is very deceptive. It looks easy tj negotiate,
particularly coming toward Medford, but it ISN'T. There should
be warning signs, informing motorists of this fact. Catch-light
signs effective at night should also be installed.
This may sound liko locking the stable door after the horse

In the opinion of this newspaper, proper signs and essential
safeguards should bo placed at this corner, at the earliest pos
sible moment.
The Great Hope for Pears
i . .
JUST as every sun ray hns its shudow, every shadow has its
sun rny. Having delivered that profound and cheering
aphorism, we forthwith opine that the depression may prove to
be the best thing that ever happened to tho pear industry.
THE depression, for example, produced an organization of the
pear growers of tho northwest. If this organization re
places cut-throat competition with intelligent cooperation; a
hit-and-miss conglomerate pack; with a standard pack; disunity
with unity; jt will place tho industry upon a permanent basis
of decent prosperity for the first time in half a century.
The worst enemy of the pear industry has been tho pear
grower. Not only each pear growing community, but each pear
grower IN each community, ,has insisted upon competing with
each and every other pear grower. Innumerable efforts to get
together have been made, anjl'each and every offort has failed.
If . tho depression has finally convinced all pear growers that
they must hang TOGETHER, or hang SEPARATELY, then it
has certainly been worth all it cost. - .
TPIIERE is no rhymq' or reason to this tiuio honored practice,
''of every pear grower crawling around on his hands and
knees every marketing season
grower should not have to go
havo to go to the GR0VER. j The
the grower, if the growers wro organized, if they stood togeth
er from San Jose to Yakima,' produced a high quality standard
pack and insisted upon a, fair price for that pack,
AN attempt, to form such iin
TTata'h ft flrvnnr linnA thnt
if each pear grower assumes' that all wisdom concerning pears
will die when he dies; that unless things arc done, JUST as he
wants them done, they won't be dono at all. It can only succeed
by a policy of give and take, by a willingness to saerifieo non
essentials for the common good,
and team play.
This is the purposo of the new
it. There is ono great factor in
committed to trade cooperatives, and its tremendous resources
will bo placed behind a genuine cooperative organization of the
pear industry.
T4JOW is tho time to form one. Onoo get such an organization
well started and the pear growers of the future niBy well
look back upon tho depression, not as a period of disaster ; but
as tho period that marked a new and better DEAL for the
entire pear industry. '
HitlerismBeyond the Beyond?
"The futuro of Hltlorlsm Is beyond prediction, beyond
realisation,. beyond Imagination!" Oregon Journal. '
Which we take it means llitlorism, in the Journal's opinion,
is beyond tho beyond.' i -
But is itt Is it particularly beyond the limits of the human
imagination t '
' Wo don't so regard it. We doubt if llitlorism is essentially
any harder to understand than Mussolinism, or Stalinism, or
for that matter tho medieval Kaiserism of a couple of decades
ago. .
TN fact Hitler is behaving very much as tho Kaiser behaved
previous to' 1914. Ho is yelling from the housetops and
rattling the sabro, in a fashion that delights tho spiritual descen
dants of Old Wotau, no mattor how ridiculous it may appear
to non-descendants on the side lines.
Why did tho Kaiser behave
ovcrweoning cgot Partly that. But not entirely. Ho did it
ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE THE GERMAN FEOPLE LIKED
IT, BECAUSE THE THEME SONG OF "GERMANY TJBER
ALLES" THRILLED THEM AS NOTHING ELSE COULD.
It's tho same with Hitler today. Ho too is a play aotor, a
rabble rouscr, and he loo is ringing all tho changes on tho same
old theme song, because it works as nothing clso can.
TO our mind thero is nothing so incomprehensible in this.

but tho people of Germany not all of them but tho majority
and particularly the young who supply the motive power of any
renaissance aro not interested in sanity. Nor in logic, nor in
beauty. They ARE interested in staging a "comeback" and
it is this overwhelming passion for a comeback, and tho hope of
it ho holds out, that gives this man Hitler his power.
It was essentially tho samo passion that put Stalin in power,
that puts and keeps Mussolini in power, not so much mili
taristic, as It is nationalistic SUPER nationalistic.
CUCH movements always go to extremes. They must, to go
ANYWHERE. Hitler is leading and controlling Germany
today, simply because he expresses Germany's strongest desires,
moro clearly and forcibly than anyone else. He may he another
Mussolini. Ho may ontv be another Kerenskv. Only time can

NATIONALISM in Germany. , It has many wierd and shocking

THAT GONE SENSATION FOOLS SOME OF THE FEOPLE SOME OF

' Appetite If the sum of pleaaant
sensation aroused through the nerve
of tute and smell and in part through
the sensory nerves
In the lining of
the stomach. It
Is dependent on
past associations
of an agreeable
character.
Hunger Is
rather disagree
able a e n s a tlon
produced by con
traction of the
stomach when It
Is empty.
S o m e persons
experience a
"gone sensation," a feeling of falnt
ness or weakness, instead of hunger,
and this quite commonly a few hours
after a good meal. This gone sen
sation Is not at aU like appetite or
hunger and one may not recognize
Its nature at aU. That is too bad.
for recognition and proper relief of
the distress may save one's, reputa
tion and maintain good will.
For example, a young professional
woman who Is naturally the most
charming and agreeable person be
comes strangely cantankerous and
impatient, even quarrelsome, If by
chance her regular meal time is post
poned an hour. But -a few minutes
after she takes food she Is her own
good-natured self again. The "gone
sensation" in her case simply takes
the form of irritability.
In some Instances It takes the form
of great restlessness, or mental con
fusion, or a kind of lethargy of stu
por. Probably the basis of the "gone
feeling" in all cases Is a temporary
shortage of the quantity of sugar In
the blood. - -
At all times healthy persons have
Approximately a teaspoonful of sugar
(glucose) in the blood. An adult has
a gallon of blood. The sugar In the
blood la the fuel which keeps the
vital organs going as well as the fuel
for all muscular work, It is derived
from the store of glycogen in the
liver. The liver contains perhaps half
a pound of glycogen otherwiso
known as "animal strach," AU car-
j bohydrate food is converted Into gly
: cogen by digestion. Only when an
excess is taken U It converted Into
fat.
The secretion of Insulin, by cells

of this fuel. If there is more insulin

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Economical Vitamin D.
What Is the best source of Vitamin
D, for poor people? It It Is in cod
liver oil. what Is the cheapest way
to buy It? Mrs. S. A.
Answer The yolk of egg. Second
to that, fresh butter. Crude cod liver
oil Is one of the richest known
sources of Vitamin D. and other fish
oils, such as halibut oil, may be still
better sources. A few old-fp.shtoned
drug stores that stil carry a line of
drugs have crude cod liver oil In any
quantity you destre and I believe
this la the best kind for medicinal
use.
Youth Should Grow.
Being a youth of 17, would you say

creasing weight? N. T.
Answer Wall, I'm a little more
than 17, but still I'd say strenuous
exercise will rather favor your growth,
especially If It Is outdoor exercise.

TO FIGHT GERMS
OF E
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23. (AP)
Science rallied today to an Intensi
fied light against sleeping sickness,
mysterious malady which has killed
19 persons and attacked 182 others
in St. Louis and vicinity.
A government expert rushed here
from Washington and went to work
in an attempt to determine if In
sects spread the disease. Meanwhile
as three deaths In the lost 24 hours
swelled the fatality list here to 18,
the disease broke out in five other
mid western commmunlMes.
Deaths from this virus disease,
which science knows so little about,
have been reported at Wichita, Kan..
Kansas City, Kan., and Warrensburg,
Mo., while the Illnesses of patients
at Maryvllle, Mo., and Muskogee, Ok.,
have been diagnosed as encephalitis.
The seriousness of the epidemic In
St, Louis and St. Louis county is re
flected In the mounting lists of fa
talities. During the last 24 hours the deaths
of an elderly woman, two men and
a 3-year-old child brought the death
list here within four weeks' time to
an equal with fatalities in the Spo
kane, Wash., outbreak from 1019 to
1921, when nineteen lives were
claimed, but In a three-year period.
Previously, the federal public health
service had regarded the Spokane
outbreaks the country's worst, but
the number of patients there did not
compare wit' hthose already ill here.
In addition to the deaths here, the
number of reported cases has risen
to 18a, of which US ar In St. Louis
county and 37 in the city of St.
Lou Li,
The United States Public Health
service, recognizing the outbreak as
th largest "ever reported In the
world in any one glwn place," has
dispatched a third scientific expert
here.

NEW YORK, Aug. as. Even though
attendance was light-pocketed and

the liveliest
plessure resort
near Manhattan.
A certain some
thing about Co
ney inspires vis
itors to Mardl
grsa temper.
Nof even the
" mightiest nabob
CmLmLiJ wl-up flat
people. Among its regulars Indeed
are Otto Kahn, Wlllem Van Loon.
Theodore Dreiser, Edwin Arlington
Robinson and Lee Shubert. Coney
levels life and provides the tempo
rary Uluslon of a Florentine mood.
At a "Hit Him Once, One Cigar"
tent a huge Negro shuffled up to the
counter and exposed his gums:
"Evening Cap I Can you use a good
ord'nary' nigger?" Everybody laughed
and they were soon hurling baseballs
at his black head. Always adventure
at Coney. I once saw a man known
to our town as a celebrated eastern
doctor.
He was barking In front of an Incu'
bator place at Coney. Fat women in
comic bathing suits waddle tbe
streets. But not one smiles. Curb
coupes are filled with unashamed
nockers. Yet the charm of Coney
Is quite understandable. It's Time, in
a prankish mood, riffling buck the
years. v
Oliver Herford Is a lion at every
tea. The difficulty is to lure him
from the Players, where be spends bis
leisure. Charlie Hughes telle of one
successful hostess Who landed him.
Clinging to a shadowy corner, -he was
finally collared by a lady who won
dered why he did not re-write some
of the libretti of Wagnerian operas
so prudent parents might take their
children to hear them. "But prudent
parents don't have children," mur
mured Herford. And slipped away.
Tin Pan Alley no longer rushes to
print with fuzzle-headed topical
songs as In its opulence. I thought
of this on 42d street today In passing
the fellow who had "They Needed a
Songbird in Heaven, so God Took
Caruso Away" in all the Broadway
song sheet shops an hour after the
great tenor breathed his last. Todsy
the life of a song Is about three weeks,
as the result of radio exploitation.
'The Alley was a district of faded
brownstone fronts, once In the Twen
ties and later In the Forties, sliced
Into 'niches with enough room for
the piano and two people. On a
summer day the Jangle of tlntlnabu
lations floating out open windows
gave It Its name. Yet from here came
a nation's songs, and Irving Berlin.
The best advice to young marrleds
invading New York was given by the
late Bradford Merrill. To the wife of
a foreign correspondent he said: "You
can live on $75 a week in New York,
but It la difficult on 126." A nugget
of wisdom.
Young modern have become af
flicted with a sort of vocal anaemia
that has reduced their talkTto almost
whispers. I was cast among a group
of them with another antiquity on
a Long Island veranda the other even
ing. Conversation was a thin blurry
mumble-jumble. But X affected to
follow by laughing when they laughed.
But my companion was not so toler
ant. He suddenly scared the day
lights out of everybody with a fierce,
ear-splitting Whistle. "I Just wanted
to see," he explained, "whether I had
become deaf."
Of all hard of hearing, Rupert
Hughes has been most accomplished
surmounting his handicap. Imme
diately he mastered Hp reading and
never falls to catch every shred of
conversation. Furthermore he sal
vaged out of deafness an ability for
after dinner and public speaking he
never exhibited before. When he en
ters a filled room he does most of the
talking and makes It so extraordi
narily interesting no one cares to talk.
Thus Rupert does not have to try to
catch what others are saying.
The Boston in. pensive moments
sits In a corner with face to the wall.
Sometimes he will remain statue
like ft half hour. Being deaf, he does
not hear the comments. Today, dur
ing one of his meditative moeurs I
scrawled across ft big card "The
Thinker!", propped It on ft chair near
him and called In the neighbors. Once
he sensed us, turned his head leis
urely ftnd went rather disdainfully
right back to his contemplation. I
probably have two of the goofiest dogs
on this continent. But Just the same
I would not trade 100 acres of West
Virginia bottom land for either.

EXTRA SESSION 10
T SALES TAX
IS
(Continued trom Page One)
a precarious financial footing that
closing is imminent.
Charles Galloway, chairman of the
state tax commission, advised that
the sales tax be applicable to retail
salea only, excluding labor and serv
ices. No percentage was suggested.
Decision Waits.
Governor Meier made no decision
last night on the matter or the spec
ial session. He said he will first dis
cuss the necessity with legislative
leaders, heads of civic groups, the
press, and leading citizens, in order
to get a general reaction on the pro
posed tax.
Most of those who attended the
sp'cla1 conference here, however, be
lieved there Is no alternative. The
governor said he will call the special
session at Salem If support of the
new sales tax plan Is forthcoming.
"When we have learned what the
unemployment requirements probab
ly will be," the governor said, "the
next step naturally will be the de
vising of ways and means to make
funds available for the relief of the
remainder of our people who will be
unable to obtain employment during
the fall and winter.
"If such a program can be formu
lated, I am more than willing again
to convene the legislature in extra
ordinary session, provided there is a
reasonable assurance that a major
ity of our citizens will be In accord
with the plan, and that It will not
suffer defeat again at the hands of
the electorate.
Must Agree on Plan.
"In other words, we must first
lesrn as definitely as Is possible how
much money will be required for un
employment relief, when It must be
available, and an agreement reached
upon the financing plan which will
enjoy the united support of the press
and the leaders of public thought In
Oregon. N
Governor Meier explained that "I
am Interested solely in two things
the owners of farms and the homes
whose taxes hsve become so heavy
that they can no longer bear them:
and that the men and women who
are unable to find employment be
fed. clothed and sheltered."
Raymond B. Wilcox, chairman of
the governor's statewide relief com
mittee, said "the necessity of get
ting the money is not questioned.
We must let people of the state re
alize the necessity, and then let them
argue ways and. means of raising the
money."
He explslned thst on October 1.
two-thirds of the federal money will
be cut off. as far as Oregon Is con
cerned. "To make up the state's
share of unemployment relief," he
continued, 'a sales tax would be
eqi ltable. Multnomah county would
pay the most under a salea tax. and
likewise would need the most relief
money."
Hllte Sum Needed.
Wilcox said between IS.000.000 and
6.000.000 will be required for un
employment relief by the end of
1934. in addition to relief afforded
through the N. R. A. program. Of
this sum the state or municipalities
would hsve to provide two-thirds.
"Thirty thousand families meens
that at least 120.000 persons In Ore
gon are In need," wilcox said, "and
that many more are unemployed but
have not yet called for food .'
Immediate protest was made bv
several of the conferees when a bond
Issue was proposed. Leslie M. Scoit,
chslrmsn of the hlghwsy commis
sion declared "Oregon now hss out
standing indebtedness of 1250,000.000
nd thst is too large a burden. There
la only one other method, should
special sales tsx again be defeated,
and thst would be for communities
to best the burden." Senator Joe t
Dunne concurred.
