Another "New Deal" HESSERS Starr end Colt are off the state board of higher education. Mesger Keuon and Hare are on. Governor Meier, responsible for thia shake-up on the board, points out that his "sole nin; been to obtain a "harmonious, efficient and fair minded ad ministration of the institutions of higher learning, serving alike the best interests of the college, the university, the nor mal schools and the state." This is what everyone in the state, sincerely interested in education, wants. As long as Starr and Colt remained, this was impossible. Not because these two men did not have a similar aim, but because so much dissension has been aroused within the board, that internal harmony had become impossible. With new blood on the board, harmony will be possible. The board can get off to a new start with a clean slate. XiniAT the basis of this new start will be no one knows. " But it is a fairly safe guess that it will represent at the outset, a serious effort to get along under the chancellorship of Dr. Kerr. Although Starr and Colt were strong Kerr sup porters, their retirement will be interpreted as a concession to the anti-Kerr members and strong pressure will be brought to bear, to call off the effort to secure Chancellor Kerr's re tirement, at least for the immediate present. If this effort succeeds, well and good, for Dr. Kerr's ad ministration can't be expected to extend very long after his 70th birthday, which according to our information has been or soon will be, celebrated. If it fails, then of course Chancellor Kerr's retirement will be imperative at once. For if this removal of the pro-Kerr members will not satisfy the anti-Kerr majority, then nothing can or will, except the removal of Dr. Kerr from the educa tional set-up entirely. You Gan 't Remove Politics "There will be no Improvement In higher education In this Stat until politic are taken out of It." , IF we have heard that remark times, since this controversy There is no doubt about the popularity of such a balief, but if it is true, then thore'will be no improvement in higher educa tion, short of the millenium. For as long as higher education in this state is FINANCED by the poople, as long as governors who control by appoint ment, educational policies, are ELECTED by the people there is no way of taking politics out No, brothern, that can't be Essentially it is merely the theory and practice of managing and directing publio affairs. As long as higher education is paid for by the people and controlled by their political rep resentatives, politics can no more be extraoted, than egg yolks from a ham omolct. Politics is inherent in the set-up and the situation. But there can bo and should be, an elimination of cer tain types of politics, partisan ish and mercenary politics. There have been too many our higher educational system jobs of the board of higher education should be to eliminate them in the future.

Well, that will be something to divert us, from the perplexities and complexities of this rapidly changing era. And after that the football season will be in full more.

William Brady, teg 1 Camtno, rieverley Hills, CaL MISTER GET A PIPE Notwithstanding all theories, ex periments and arbitrary assertions concerning the effects of tobacco on health, we may say without fear of contradiction that nobody k n o w a whether the effect of to bacco are due to nicotine or to carbon monoxld or to pyridine or to ammonia or t o other sub stances In tobac co or Its smoke or to various combinations and concentrations of these. Nicotine Is an alkaloid of tobac co, Just as morphine Is an akalold of opium and atropine Is an alkal oid of belladonna (deadly nlght shsde). Contrary to popular fancy, pure nicotine Is a colorless liquid which turns brown only on exposure to the air. Crude nicotine solutions are yellowish or brown, and are com monly used In sprays to destroy plant lice. Recently an Interesting case of poisoning by .nicotine was reported a greenhouse workman who sat on a bench on which some of the crude spray had been spilled. He continued his work, but In fit teen minutes began to get faint, nauseated, vomited and broke Into a cold sweat (painful reminder of that first cigar); Doctor reporting the cose "established" that the nico tine had been absorbed through the skin, by a funny experiment: shaved the hair from the ekln of a cat, then applied some nicotine and covered it over with something to prevent the fumes from escaping. The cat was poisoned, ej. b. D. to the credul ous the poison was absorbed through the skin. A "scientist" who could indulge In such slipshod work and loose thinking would probably nick the cat's skin In several places shaving and so open up channels for arjsorpuon or nicotine. The authorities seem scarcely able to conceal their Ignorance about the eireots of nicotine. One toxicologic Implies, without being clear In de tails, that a few drops of It on the tongue of cat or dog will kill the animal In a few minutes, hours or days. Another cites the legend of Count Rapscallion or somebody who exterminated an annoying relative by giving the pest a drop of nicotine, wmcn pousnea nim off In five mln utes flat. In such varus nlcntlnit always works with as much certainty as does a little brandy from a flask when the hero Is out cold. In real life, or death, somehow these things don't work like that. Medical or health experts' views on the effects of tobacco are matfern of opinion only. My own opinion Is that tobacco la invariably Injurious to the health of a child. I regard most persons un Reminiscences and Impressions Cuba and Cubans Having noted recent editorials In the Mall Tribune regarding the .dis turbed conditions In Cuba and' the interest and responsibilities of the United States In that Island, I am moved to write on the subject. As a lieutenant and captain, I serv ed In Cuba In the 3nd and 7th (Ouster) Regiments of U. S. cavnlry from February, 1809 to May, 1003, ex cept for a period of about four months. In the and, I was In com mand of a troop of which Herbert W. Sargent, later well known In Mcd ford, was the captain. He was then on duty In the Philippines. I was stationed at Clenfuegos, Santa Clara, Cardenas, Matanzas and Columbia Barracks near Havana, with short stays at other places. Although I have not seen Cuba for more than thirty years, which Is a long lime In the life of a man, but not so long In the history of a people or an Island. I feel that I have still rome knowledge of Cuba and Cubans. I remained at Santa Clara fourteen months, which was longer thnn I was at any of my other Cuban stations. The town had a hotel and I and some other U. S. army officers lived In It. The census taken while I was there with the supervision and help of rep resentatives of the U. 8. Census Bureau reported the population of Santa Clara a a little more than our last count gave Medford. At that station the official and social re lations between our army officers and their families and the Cuban people were always most harmonious and pleasant. Santa Clara was the home town of Jose Miguel Gomez and Oer ado Machado, both of whom after ward became president of Cuba. Machado has lately received plenty of newspaper attention In the United States and was mentioned In Mall Tribune editorials. , I did not per sonally know him well, but I do still remember finding the engraved call ing card of VGerado Machadyo Morales," which had been left at my hotel room. Other U. 8. army officers were better acquainted with him than I was and I know that they reipect ed and esteemed him. My opinion waa then that he was one of the best and most capable public men In Cuba. I am not aure that I have changed that opinion yet. It may be that as president of his country he has shown up some fallings, state ment are that he has, but It may also be that plenty of othera of It leaders or would be leaders are none loo much better. I suspect that one of his worst offenses was final lack of success. Whst I the matter with Cuba? Why la It that the Cubans do not cet behind some president and settle town? To fully answer these questions would perhaps be a fit Job for a statesman. To construct a nation the very first requlslt I a supply of DTtEOOy, SUNDAY, SEPTErBER 24, 1933. Brady, M.D. der twenty-five years of age aa chU dren, I have not seen serious Injury to health from temperate smoking, by an adult. In some lnstsnces I be lieve temperate smoking may actual ly benefit health. I believe excessive use of tobacco la a common cause of duodenal ul cer complex and other digestive dis turbances; of high blood pressure and premature hardening of the art eries: of thrombo-anglltls obliterans and the gangrene that makes ampu tation necessary In some cases; and of many less clearly defined disturb ances of throat, eyes, heart. Plumbers, politicians snd Mr. J. P. Morgan excepted, men who would derive the greatest pleasure and the least harm from tobacco ahould ac quire a nock of pipes and take their smoking In a moderate, comfortable, economical and cleanly way. QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS What, Another Rib? For several months, nearly every night. I awake and find my left hand and arm numb .... two doctors said It was Just nerve . , , I eat large quantities of lettuce and tomatoes Just because I like them, also drink unsweetened lemon Juice and water before breakfast every morning. Would these have anything to do with It? Have heard there Is ar senic In lettuce . . . (D. A. T.) Answer aucb disturbance may be due to a cervical rib, that Is, a rud imentary rib growing In the neck above the first rrb. The wholesome foods you mention would not cause trouble. But arsenic In Insecticide sprays used on the tomatoes or let tuce might cause chronic arsenic poisoning, which might account for the numbness. The doctors who said "Just nerves" merely confessed their Incompetence. Examination would determine whether there Is a cervical rib. A clinical test would determine whether there Is arsenlo poisoning. Color Blindness I there any cure for color blind ness? My son wishes to Join the navy but has trouble distinguishing colors . , . (S. A. E.) Answer Congenital or Inherited color blindness Is not curable, but acquired color blindness may be cur- eu. common causes of acaulred col. or blindness are excessive Indulgence in wuogco or aiconoi.

Probably the average citizen of our country seldom stops to realize that Cuba Is peopled by quite a different race from the United 8tates. Hore we have long trachtlons among the common people of self government and public re sponsibility. Not so of the latin races from whom most of the white blood of Cuba has been derived. Slavery left Its blight there and a consider able percentage of the population Is of Afrlcsn descent. I recall suggest ions made thirty years ago to the effect that the number and propor tion of negroes and mulattoea were really higher than census figures stated. My experience and observa tlon led me to think that the beet element among the Cuban was the Spanish but that In general the long er the Individual or the family line had been away from Spain tho more It had degenerated, physically, ment ally and morally. It Is true I did not consider that white Cubans were especially deficient In native Intelligence, wit. or shrewd ness In business and affairs of life When I was In Cuba publio education waa not and never had been on a very high plane and I have no doubt that I still true. The most prosperous, well manag ed, and stable nations of the earth place great reliance on large and strong so-called middle classes of so ciety. Spsnlsh Amerlcsn civilization and methods seem to have always had a tendency to separate people nto two classes only, the few prince ly rich, the great mass objeetly poor The sugar business I especially adapted to do that. I know of no other kind of agricultural enterprise that requtres operation In such large unit and with such Investment of capital aa is usually the case with sugar estate. I have no doubt that Cuba still remslns the lsnd of wealth and poverty to a degree that we In the United Statea have never seen or known. We read and hear of enormous "American" Investment and Interest In Cuba. It may be appropriate to here remark that the Cubans them selves, the Canadians, the Mexicans, snd the South American are all really and correctly aa much entitled to be called Americana a are the In habitant of the United States. Prob ably too much of Cuba belonga to people who never live there. In other parte of the world absentee owner ship la nothing new a a cause of complaint, unrest, and trouble. It can be presumed tht this la among the reasona for feeling in Cuba against the United States.

And from here comes much of the cod Uver oil poured down the gullets of the tbankleaa young. Gloucester 1 a of antique mould, an Island. In this necklace of semi -circles flung askelter along the Atlantic coast. The water front, packed tight with fishing smacks, savors adventure. The hardy, wind-tanned population was begat by generations of fisher folk. The men have the squint of the sea and the honesty of their gaze is warming after Manhattan's shifty eye. with rolling gait, slickers and water shedding hat many suggest the old print. Pipe smoking Is gen eral and on account of the breeze the pipes are lidded. These, then are "They That Go Down to Seal" The women, too. are sturdy, ample bosomed and clear eyed. They like to sit out front, unconsciously stalrlng toward the sea. For sometimes their men do not come back. In almost every zamiiy tragedy leave Its scar. For the accomplished Idler there are few havens excelling the charm of the "Glo'ster wharves." Artist from all over have stood at their easel here and it has been the back ground for canvases In Important galleries here and abroad. Every few noura a heavily laden schooner slosh es In from the "banks." Other sails nutter In the sun thaf dries them. Miles of nets are being strung and re-tarred. Busy crews are cutting ait. uiris waving good-bye. But Gloucester's most famous cit izen at the moment Is not a fisher man. He Is young John Hays Ham. mond, Jr., engineering wizard, who resides in a castle along the Cape Ann trail, a short drive away. His laboratory 1 there and a forbidding wall encloses the vast acreage. Young Hammond la seldom seen, but when he appears Is cordial and a favor, lte. A relic of the community Is Dog town, a district opposite the old town green. It Is Gloucester's aban doned village. Only ancient scarps na ceiiar noies remain of a hell rake hamlet, where witchcraft threaded It horror. Finally Dog town men went to the wars and left dogs to guard their women hence the name and never returned. On the nearby coast Is a flrce rock for mation called "The Whale's Jaw." Gloucester In boom opulence had about 25,000 Inhabitants. This has awinoieo to around 30,000. The ma jority of men go out to the fishing banks sometimes 360 miles out at 7 in the morning and seldom return until their boat are filled. Prices for the catches fluctuate dally. The most famous spot hereabouts, of course, 1 Norman's woe, the deadly reef setting for Longfellow's "The Wreck of the Hesperus." We motored out along the appropriately named Hesperus avenue as the sun blared Into the dull red evening glow that Is the fisherman's delight. It teemed Incredible that this rock, not more than 300 feet long, Jutting out of the sea, doomed so msny marin ers. All about were far more pre tentious projections. On a bench hewn of rough logs and cupped In a rocky outcrop at Magnolia we had a poetical view of Rale'e Chasm and Norman's Woe. Only my wife could recall the lines. As she recited them, and I'll wager they are correct, they ran: Such Is the wreck of the Hesperus In the midnight and the snow; God save us all from a death like this On the reef of Norman's Woe I Driving on around the cape we got the sillies. Everything went sud denly anntsquam the town of An nlsquam, Annlsquam river and An nlsquam Willows. We tried to fig ure out the meaning. Harry SUvey suggested It sounded like suddenly sitting down on a ripe paw-paw. And I discovered you could substitute an nlsquam for any active verb and in no time at all become bore. a perfect BUTTERMILK DEMAND CHICAGO, Sept. 3.

The fact is I am not in poll tics, "I do not choose to run." I would find Salem a lonesome place. I am not politically minded. Our state politicians' ways of thinking and act ing are not my ways. There Is not "a technocrat in a car load of them. The controlling force In the state legislature Is the Multnomah dele gation led by Frank Lonergan, a le gal minded Individual. These gentle men are mostly "repeaters," of the old school. Politicians playing the old game In the old way. Delegations from adjacent counties "string along,' with them, all constitutionally of the "It can't be done" type. A legal mind is not, as a rule, an Inventive mind We have a poor crew to undertake adventure on the new seas we must sail. Our delegation last winter pretty well sold our Idea of a sales tax for shelter tax exempsbn to Governor Meier and to the delegations outside of the Influence of the Portland bloc, but these gentlemen said "thumbs down" and that finished It. Then a ssles tax scheme was concocted by them with the help of Galloway, chairman of the state tax commis sion, which was not a fair and Just tax so waa defeated. The individuals who were to pay this tax were to get nttie direct benefit or tax relief from it. A sales tax Is only a fair and Just tax when the families who pay it get a full credit from it through cancel lation of direct taxes imposed upon them. So we come to our present trouble. The sales tax offered as a remedy by the last legislature could not be defended when submitted to the people. If shelter had been ex empted from taxation and- a sales tax offered as an offset, then it could have been defended and would have been approved by the voters of the state when they once understood it.
