Ring Lardner
RING LARDNER, 48, in tie prime of life, died this nrrikrg
of tuberculosis. His death ii a great losi to American
humor and comedy. Lardner might be called the literary off
spring of 0. Henry and George Ada In him were fused the
qualities of both the greatest thort atory writer and the greatest
humorist of the late 90 's, but as if often the case with children
of exceptional parents, in neither field did he attain the emi
nence of his forebears.
His humor prevented him from delving as deeply into the
core of urban American character as did 0. Henry; his facile
creative faculty prevented him from reaching the height of
Indiana's "Mark Twain."
In versatility sheer virtuosity, Lardner however surpassed
both of his predecessors. He could turn out a straight sports
story that would knock the fang off the bleachers; he could
knock off a children's verse that would make all the ladies smile
through their tears; he could compose a comic opera between
the soup and cordial, and produce a best seller "serial" with
one hand; while he outlined a new song hit with the other.
IX THIS rare facility he resembled Eddie Cantor, who in addi
tion to hia preeminence as a stage comedian, can whenever
he wishes make the first pajje of the Saturday Evening Post, or
give Rudce Valee a number that he will like to croon.
Like practically all the stars in modern American humor,
Ring Lardner was self made. He graduated from a newspaper
sporting desk, as Will Rogers graduated from a now ranch, and
0. Henry from a drug store. Unlike the synthetic school of
wisccrackcrs he imitated no one, but Btruck out for the grass
roots unassisted and alone. He was always himself, which is
perhaps the keystone of any creative work that lives.
f IIS untimely death provides the Anti-Tuberculosis League
with a strong talking point. With more money than he
knew what to do with, with every care that science could pro
vide, he was nevertheless unable to ward off the ravages of the
White Plague. The two chief reasons, are the two . chief causes
of the sustained toll of this dread disease: first, failure to start
fighting at the first warning; second, failure to disregard the
mysterious optimism, that this ailment engenders.
Victims of tuberculosis are almost always, feeling better,
quite convinced they are going to beRt the game. So Ring
Lardner abandoned the Arizona desert and returned to New
York which ho knew and loved so well.
IJAD he abandoned New York ENTIRELY, and made the
desert his permanent abode, he might be well and alive
today. Perhaps those who' knew the man best would not be
surprised to learn, that he realized this, and deliberately pre
ferred to shake the dust of the wilderness from his feet, and
step from the Broadway Limited to the pavements and bright
lights of the big city, his first and only HOME!
Can 't Be Evaded, Now
tl'E TRUST the report frtm upstate thnt there will be no
special session of the legislature, la baseless rumor and
nothing more. The reason given Is "no agreement could be
reached on tax matters."
How do they, or anyone else know, until they tryt Not
to call a special session, for such a reason as this, is to admit the
failure of representative government its complete and utter
breakdown.
For certainly this state never has needed a special session
more. There is the tax problem to be solved, the relief problem,
the liquor problem, the problem of higher education and many
other problems.
These matters can't be allowed to slide. Even granting a
solution of the tax and rplief problems is impossible which
this paper doesn't believe, a
lem would alone justify a special session,
DEPORE the first of the year, prohibition will certainly be
" repealed. There is no doubt, Whatever, that liquor control
will not be assumed by the government but will be left to the
states.
Already there are functioning in 10 states, official control
boards for the regulation of intoxicants their duties now being
confined to beer. The moment prohibition is repealed these
boards will all be ready to assume regulation and control of
spirituous liquors.
TTHAT is as it should be, and MUST be, if confusion is not
to be worse confounded, and chaos and demoralization,
follow prohibition repeal, in every state which ".a unprepared.
Not only that but the tax revenue from liquor, will not be
received; while abuses will oreep in, which the longer action is
delayed, the harder they will be to correct.
A SPECIAL SESSION MUST BE CALLED I It is incon
ceivable that any responsible leaders upstate or anywhere else,
would think any other course possible, at the present time!

EXPECTANT TREATMENT OF APPENDICITIS
Up to the tlmt X bad It myself I
always believed In and practiced ex
pectant management of acute appen
dicitis. That la.
I thought it wise
to wait 48 hours,
and consider an
operation then 1
the attack seem
ed to warrant It.
But I thougnt
my doctors were
taking too great
a chance when
they allowed my
attack to run on
and on for hours
before they trun
dled me off to
the operating room.
In England for a year or more
tnere has been a controversy In the
profession over the treatment of ap
pendicitis. We referred to it here
last May. Quoted the Dr. Robert T.
Morris of English surgery Lord Moy-
nlhan. who declared that patients
never die of appendlcltla in England;
they die of Its treatment. By that
he meant that physics are fatal
where there Is an acute bell ache
which may possibly be appendicitis,
never, never, should the patient take
or be given any kind of laxative or
physic. That only tends to aggra
vate and stir up and spread any In
flammation there may be. A vast
amount of experience In this country
has proved that the appendicitis pa
tient who has received a physio or
laxative has a poorer chance to re
cover than has the patient who has
not received such medicine. The
"healing, soothing' elect of castor oil
la sheer old fishwife and It is time
that sensible folk realized It.
Moynlhan went further and satd
that an aperient (British for 'physic
or cathartic) had been the cause of
perforation In every such case of
gangrenous appendicitis he had seen
and we all know Moynl has seen
plenty. He said no danger would en
sue from expectant treatment if ap-
perlents were withheld and nothing,
not even a swallow of water, was
given by mouth. Which all pounds
Impressive coming from such a great
surgical authority. But just the
same, I'd rather have the operation
for mine, that Is, If I felt reasonably
certain that the trouble was acute
appendicitis.
Now a London surgeon by the name
of R. A. Ramsey would "leave'severe
alone" cases of appendicitis In which
there is reason to believe the- Inflam
mation Involves more extensive struc
tures than the appendix, that is,
where there la some peritonitis with
congestion and greater friability of
tissues, but this surgeon Insists upon
operation as the best treatment In
routine cases.
Still another prominent English
surgeon, R. J. McNeill Love, seems to
favor expectant treatment he retorts

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Piece of Glass Swallowed.
About a week ago I had a dish of
canned cherries and found two or
three bits of broken glass in the
cherries. Don't know Whether I
swallowed any of the glass or not
. . . W. C. A.
Answer If you did, it was prob
ably passed in the fecal matter
within 48 hours. Whenever bits of
glass or ground glass powder have
been swallowed, the best course is
(!) to avoid cathartics for the few
days, and (2) eat plenty of banana,
potato and any and all fresh vege
tables or fruits, to provide a large
pulpy residue to coat the foreign ma
terial and protect the lining of stom
ach and Intestine. The same rule Is
best where any foreign object Is ac
cidentally swallowed by a child. In
all such cases I think a dally dose
of a tablcspoonful of flaxseeds is
beneficial; either raw and whole or
swallowed after steeping In boiling
water if you prefer.
Malaria.
Several years ago I contracted ma
larla on Long Island. Every spring or
summer since I have had an attack
. . . Mrs. L. O. B.
Answer If the diagnosis of the
original attack was positive (malaria
parasites seen in red corpuscles In
blood specimen examined under mic
roscope during the chill), probably
the best plan is to keep a supply of
quinine blsulphate capsules on hand
and take ten grains a day for
period of a month each spring or
early summer. The dose is best
taken at bedtime.
Choking.
Tour suggestion to press the ball
of foot against footboard to relieve
leg cramp at night Is so helpful.
Here is a similar suggestion I have
found helpful: When choking, raise
your left arm over and close to the
head for immediate relief. It seems
simple, but it is effective M. M. a.
Answer Thank you. Our readers
will soon determine whether it is
effective.

Th esurglng ocean, beating for cen

Ridges of sharp teeth Jutting far to

Maine's austerity was not reflected
from its forbidding coastal lines. Just
as cordial warmth seems to spring
from Kentucky's soft verdure. From

Ring Lardner, Who Gave
World Humorous Side of
Sport, Succumbs to T. B.
By DAL HARRISON
NEW YORK, Sept. 38. (VP) Ring Lardner, who once noted that there
wasn't much difference between his native Nlles, Mich., and his adopt
ed New York, because both begin with an "N," has lost his long fight
against tuberculosis.
The lean, six-foot humorist whol
made you and me know Al, and who
became a ranking figure of Amer
ican literature, died suddenly at his
East Hampton, Long Island, home last
night, in the 48th year of an active.
Interesting life.
For ten years Ringgold Wllmer
Lardner fought the disease. During
those years, with the specter drawing
steadily closer, his humor flowed on.
bringing laughs to the faces of those
who saw on the stage "Elmer the
Great" end then "June Moon," and
to others tens of thousands who read
his "Story of a Wonder Man," "Love
Nest." and other stories.
Heart disease complicated by other
ailments, was given by his doctors as
the Immediate cause of death.
Only in the last few years has the
Lardner typewriter gone on hort
hours. His doctors ordered htm to
the southwest, and he remained there
many months. When he returned to
New York several months ago he was
reported much better.
His days of quantity production,
however, were over. He did a col
umn on radio In the weekly 'New
Yorker" A humorous, critical col
umn that carried a sting for tha
artists, those sponsors and those sta
tions which he felt were not serving
the public need for entertainment.
The sweep of the humor that filled
"You know me, Al." "Oulllble's Trav
els." "Own Your Own Home," and the
hilarious, "How to Write Short Stor
ies" was gone. Occasionally It flash
ed on those last published writings,
but the spontaneity and wit of "Treat
'Em Rough," "The Young Immt
grunts" and "Symptoms of Being 35"
were not there.
His Journalistic experience waa de
voted almost entirely to the sport
page South Bend. Chicago, St. Louis,
Boston, and back to Chicago. He
traveled with the baseball clubs, the
White Sox and the Cubs, In the dare
of "Doc" White, Mordecel (Three
fingered) Brown, Frank Chance, Tin
kers, Evers and the many othera of
Chicago's heydey of baseball. He be'
came a recognized authority on the
gume, loving It for 1U sport and for
the humanness of Its plsyers. From
this experience he drew the material
far the development of his best known
character, the egotistical, bumptious,
lovsble and dumb bushleiguer, Jack
Keefe, who told of his experiences li
the big league by means of letters to
"Al."
"He called me a dumb ox, and 1
said, 'Oh. is that so?' and he didn't
have no comeback."
Such was the character that cen
tered serious attention on Ring Lard
ner as a humorist. At the time Lard
ner wse conducting the "In the wake
of the News" column In the Chlcsgo
Tribune, a post to which he succeed
ed following the death of "Hek." a
pioneer sports columnist. On Mon
days, Instead of running the usual
column. Lsrdner wrote child verse,
based. It was said, on the antics of
his own children. These later were
collected and published as "Bib Bsl
lads." hia first published work.
Lardner has told that the "Jack
Keefe" letters were based on his ex
periences with an Illiterate but
mighty ball-player who brought let
tera from hia wife for Lardner to
read and answer. The wife was al
ways asking for money, and the ball
player was alwaya full of reasons why
he couldn't send any.
Few writers were ever more highly
regarded personally than Lardner. He
spent prodigally, backing the shows
of his friends, helping those tn need.
Surviving him are his widow, the
former Kills Abbott of Goshen. Ind .
and four eons John. James, Ring W.
Jr.. and David.
Lardner was especially fond of
music snd In his baseball reporting
day, did the lvrtca of a song. "Little
Puff of Smoke, oood Night," the "pu

Bodies of Maurice R. Roedere, 60, and
Mrs. Naomi R. McSwaln, about 40.
were found in a parked automobile lu
the Berkeley hills last night.
Investigators said Roedere appar
ently had shot and killed Mrs. Mc
Swaln, then shot himself In the

The bodies were discovered by Al
lan Green of El Cerrito.
Mrs. McSwaln was the dl forced wire
of J. F. McSwaln, Oakland business

professionally as 'Dude Martin," and
of two daughters, Marjorle, 16, and
Barbara, 15.
Roedere's wife works for a Merced
cement company, where he formerly
was employed. Police understood he
was almost without funds after hav
ing been without work for a year.
Police said the position of the
wound in Mrs. MoS wain's head Indi
cated she waa shot without warn

riding together.
It was believed the dual tragedy

Communications
Seems Like Monarchy
To the Editor:
Wonder If it Isn't about time we
had an election In this county of
ours. It seems the. followirg offices
are filled by men that have been
appointed: County Judge, county
commissioner, and county sheriff.
With two state representatives to be
named soon It looks as '.hough Jack
son county Is well along the road
to becoming a monarchy. Surely
must be about time for the people
to have a little aay about who should
occupy these positions.

To the Editor:
I am rjromnterl tn .tuvm, mm nnln-
lon or two regarding the policy of
your wortny newspaper.
First. I want vou to know that
we place high value In your con
structive editorials regadlng tar. re-
uei ana otner emergencies now pend
ing. These worthy editorials have
no doubt set many of us to think
ing about some of the pressing needs
of the time, formerly entirely left
up to committees, legislators and
others delegated to find solutions to
such problems. We are at last faced
with the facts that these Joba can
noi oe successfully accomplished by
these few imlM, th. entM
sn Intelligent understanding of the
same problems and vote according-
I also hesrtlly agree with you re
garding the necessity of sending the
best qualified men to the state leg
islature. It Is hluh tl.
consideration Is given to all angles
gaming selecting men to hsndle
these lmoortant nnttttn. t. i.
a mstter of sending a professional
wu.iueao man or a larmer. or as
you Sav. a Rpmihllran a. T-nM,
but first let us consider his qusllfl-
cauons. surely we have among us
two men who are broad-minded and
conscientious enough ss well as In
terested enough to consider the needs,
the call and the cry of our state
above everything else, who, If sent
to the legislature will think and act
accoromg to his highest Intelligence
In behalf of the welr.n nt ,.. .....
of Oregon.
Now for a little criticism: Do you
find it neceessry to Dubllih court
reports of neighborly or fsmliy
squabbles Involving children as well
a mrit ana women on tne very front
page of your newspaper? If neces
sary to publish this clsss of news,
could it not be Disced m oh.
