Yet the air-mail between America and Britain Is aa far away as ever; and I for one don't worry. Bring America nearer? What's the point of that? The whole trouble of the present time la that America Is much too near already. t Nick Klme of the Orlffln Creek district, who waa reported rendered defunct In a mythical auto accident Monday, Is able to be out, In the flesh and his Sunday ault. The Scan dalnavlan society Insists Mr. Klme la through with taxes, plowing, and other earthly activities.. Mr. Klme bullheadedly Insist he .is alive, and la kept busy denying he 1 otherwise. Who can remember the good old county fair, with 018 ticket takers for 13 people with tickets, and potential candidates vising with the kids In an effort to get run over by a atalllon In frlnt of the grandstand? . . NOW YOU TELL ONE (Roaeburg News-Review) ' Ksraalck associates very little With men of his own (wrestling) profession. He prefers to make associates of musicians and men : of high mental ability. Karaslck speaks eight different languages fluently and can swear In all of them. Progress, delayed for too many month by the tantrums of lying paranolao la beginning to take hold hereabouts. It will take a little more time to recover fully from the rav ings, but In the future there pro mises to be more rejoicing than revo lution, and more nall-poundlng than table pounding. No community could make any headway battling the late Depression, let alone combatting at the same time plots to kidnap the mean district attorney, and lynch the court, In the name of lower taxes and the hlatoric Mayflower. The val ley baa had enough of soda rlota, and feeble-minded Imitators of Huey Long, Jr. "than Bee be haa brought in a mammoth cucumber, that makea the en grown by his eon George look like a baby." (Pauley Notes.) In teresting, if true. Good News for 5. Oregon 'I'HJS lifting of the gold embargo by President Roosevelt should stimulate the mining industry throughout Southern Oregon. Miners will now be. free to export refined gold at the market price of about $30 an ounce in place of the mint price of approximately $20. This is a boost in the selling price of 50 percent, which should increase the profits of the high grade mines, and eneour- ago the development of the lower grade properties . In Southern Oregon where placer and dredge mining prevail, this action justifies particular enthusiasm, for it opens the way for a prosperous industry, throughout the fall and winter. More gold is being shipped out of Southern Oregon now than most people realize. This lifting of the embargo, will increase the amount and greatly step up the profits. Next year the state mining congress will meet in Medford. When that time comes around, Southern Oregon should be able to show the delegates, something in mining activity, decidedly worth their visit. Pioneer Dry Passes. PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. SI-(UP) Uaha A. Baker, pioneer Oregon pro hibitionist, who directed the ISM dry campaign, died here today after eight montlia' illness.

THE Southern Oregon golf championship opens tomorrow. This started as a smaller affair, but has become an annual sporting event of considerable state Importance. Golf stars from all points in southern Oregon and northern California will be here for the qualifying round, gecause of the large field, there will be a number of flights for both men and women, therefore a chance of "doing something" for plain dubs, as well as par shooters. , ". All local golfers should enter the tournament not because all can win prizes but because the more contestants the better for all concerned. It's not too late. Any able bodied person, with two arms, two legs, and a bag of clubs can qualify tomor row, by paying the regular entrance fee. .; Those who don't play can also do their bit, and boost a good thing along by watching the matches, particularly during the finals and semi finals. They will see some good golf, and get some needed exercise and fresh air. . This is really a community affair. Everyone should be interested in making it each year a greater success than the year preceding. . . Why Isn't Something Done! , T TEE meeting of the American Bar association in Orand 'Eapids, Michigan yesterday, the president, Charles E. Martin, said something, to-wit: - "Candor compels " the idmlaslon that America la a crime breeding and crime protecting nation. . . . the publlo prosecutor Is handicapped by the burdensome tssk Imposed by the assump tion of the Innocence of the accused. It safeguarding law abiding citizens were given the same attention that has been bestowed upon safeguarding the lawless element from conviction' , , , there would be a different aspect In the realm of criminal procedure." , .. No doubt of it! The Mail Tribune has frequently pointed out, during the past few months, the crying need for reform in our methods of criminal procedure. The present procedure gives every advantage to the crim inal. Not only is his innocence assumed; when all circum stances, direct and indirect, point to his guilt; but he is given the right of appeal, and the advantage of every legal technical ity; whereas the state is given NEITHER. We yell against criminals. and' the crime wave, and yet We as a people, sanction a system, that does everything to protect the former and increase the latter. ' ee AS President Martin says, "if safeguarding the law abiding citizens were given the same attention that has been be stowed upon safeguarding the lawless element from conviction, thore would be a different aspect in the realm of criminal pro cedure." There certainly WOULD be I But might ' we inquire what is the president of the American Bar association, and the mem bers of that organization going to do about it t ' We fear, nothing. A few resolutions may be passed, a few speeches made but when it comes down to actual, far-reaching "brass tack" reform, we doubt if any more is accomplished at this convention, than at any of the others. '' v The plain and disagroeable truth is, that while leaders of the bar believe as President Martin bolieves, every, serious at tempt at reform is eventually blocked, NOT by public opinion, but by the lawyers. 117HY should CITIZENS that love truth and' justice and " honor, sit idly by as LAWYERS, and let their profession be made a "hissing and a byword, the law a oloak for thieves I" Answer that and you can answer why, as the president of the bar association says, "America is a crime breeding and orime protecting nation" and yet the association he has the honor to head, year, in year out, really does nothing EFFEC TIVE about it. IF THE national and state bar associations of this country would take the field, attack these legal abuses that encour age crime, as they SHOULD be attacked, American jurispru dence could be cut as clean of this malignant growth, as a sur geon could cut a tumor ridden body. And tho job could be done in a marvellously short time. But while the leaders of the bar associations talk a lot about it, they do and have done to data nothing absolutely noth ing. Why, we don't know. But we have a suspicion, that it is because the legal profession AS A WHOLE, wants nothing done about it I Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. signed letters pertaining to personal oeaiia and oyglene not to dis ease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Or.

' It Is hard to kill lice by drowning, by starvation or by freezing. Immersion In gasoline for one min ute Is an effective way to kill both lice and their nit or eggs. A louse prefers a clean body, but can if necessary feed on a body smeared with sulphur salves and sim ilar repellents. However, the use of a dusting powder of washed sulphur on the seams of the clothing doe repel the varmints.

Has It greater food value than cows' milk? W. M. B. Answer- Not to my knowledge. Goats' milk Is rather more nutriti ous than cows' milk.
