"'iSjj'' Ye Smudge Pot a; ArtBui Perry The Other Side THERE are always two Bides to a question. There are two sides to this German question. On Sunday this column treated one side, the obvious side that Germany's withdrawal from the disarmament conference and the League of Nations brings war nearer in Europe, than at any time since 1914. Not because Germany is in a position to wage war, or because she really wants war, but because European tension is already so acute, that this shock, this seismio disturbance, may supply the spark for the long-prepared powder magazine. THAT is ONE side. The OTHER side is the exact reverse, namely : that the sudden and unexpected threat of war, may wake up the nations of Europe to the necessity of doing some thing, something immediate, definite, and far-reaching to prevent war. It may, for example, bring France and her allies to their senses. It may show them, that Germany has a case, and the world can no longer be kept ignorant of this fact. The allies in the treaty of Versailles DID promise to drasti cally reduce armaments, in exchange for Germany accepting disarmament. They have not done this. In fact they have done the exact reverse, increased all forms of armament, during the past eight or ten years, until today, Europe is more of an armed camp than it wat in 1914. PERHAPS when the disarmament conference reconvenes, this fact will be admitted. The delegates assembled, may have recovered their composure sufficiently, to see the situation clearly. They may realize the only way to prevent war, is to return to the status quo ante; keep their part of the bargain and then put it up to Germany to keep HERS. In other words agree to definite and radical disarmament; and insist that Ger many's secret efforts to re-arm be abandoned ; that ALL parties to the-treaty of Versailles, comply strictly with its provisions. Such an outcome, we admit, is not probable. But it is POS SIBLE. Hitler's bombshell MAT instead of precipitating war, shock Europe so wide awake, that war will be prevented. At any rate, here's hoping! Hitler Is No Fool Several who have been merrily fool ing the government and gaily hl-Jack-lng the NRA. have been advised to get good lawyer, as the government will soon start fooling them, and the aald lawyer. The Lane county cltlsen fathering the proposed recall of the governor, baa only been a resident of Oregon for a year. Most transients start right In regulating everything- but them selves, before the radiators of their defunct autos cool off. He haa been lackadaisical In his reforming. The current cause of Oregon becoming a nation-wide Joke, Is refreshing In one particular. He la neither a European monarch of the 16th century, like rrederlck the Great, or one of the 13 apostles. He Just thinks he Is an up-to-date edition of Buffalo BUI. It seems from the press accounts, that he sports a goatee and there the mental and physical resemblance ends. The origins! Buffalo BUI could throw a dime In the air and hit It every time with his trusty siK-shooter. The Willamette valley Buffalo Bill has neither dime nor gun. He, however. Is an expert at burling grave, slander ous, and serious charges. Proof should - be demanded, and If shown false, this ship off the old Buffalo Bill should be punished, as the statuta provide, as an example to other rising and reckless liars. HIGH-TONED GYPINQ (Corvallll Oazette-Tlines) The use by neighbors of anoth er'a telephone has reached the point a nuisance to the man who paya for a phone. We hear some story about It every week. A telephone haa come to be aa much of a necessity aa a furnace s stove but many people who wouldn't be able to borrow their I neighbor's stove will shamelessly , borrow his telephone even when they can weU afford one them selves. 4 J. Curtis Barnes claims that Porter Ifeff understands his plans for In creasing the supply of money. By so alleging Mr. Neff, who Is an attorney, thinks he will get the first handful of Mr. Barnes' money, and good luck to him. We do not know much about money, being only a whistling post for It, and most of the time not even that. But we do know thla. Any money that Is not long green, or round yellow hss less value than an IOU, ritten on a poker chip, and Is a cousin to scrip, which Is the lowest form of currency. The need Is not for new money, but more circulation of the old money. This can be accom plished by spending, which Is regard ad in some circles as a worse crime than kidnaping. The Oregon grid squsd victory over Washington hss caused considerable local delight. However there seems to be some doubt In the minds of Port land sport experts, whether It was "Dee Inspired leadership," or Michael Mtkulak's touchdown that really won the day. The latter counted six more points than the former, In the Isst analysis. The metropolitan press Is also dlftldent about giving Coach Calllson any credit for thinking, be fore or during the game. Ere the battle It was charged thst the Wash lngton mentor would out-thlnk Mr. Calllson something awful, which he failed to do. SPIRIT OP THE TIMES The other morning a man rang my bell, and I went grumblingly down talra to answer It. I have lately been expecting bandits, and, at first sight, thought thla caller might be one, but he turned out to be all right. "Mlstor," hs said, "for a dollar I'U Clean out your guttering. Ever so Often It needs It, to prevent rust." I snswered: "All right, go ahead. And I thank you for calling attention to my neglect. Also, I commend you for hustling to get work, Instead of lng on the county or congress. I you'll coma back alter the leaves have fallen, I'U give you another Job. I rather like you; there are so many crying loafers now a fairly good man attracts my admlratlon."(Atohlson uiooe.j IE HAVE about decided this man Hitler is not as big a fpol as he looks. His proclamation, accompanying the with drawal action, was a very clever bit of work, well phrased, adroitly stressed, perfectly timed. Some say he never wrote it. Perhaps that's the answer. Well, who ever did, had brains. What was its real purpose t To bring wart Obviously not. War would make partial ruin in Germany, COMPLETE. Hitler can't want war, he would have nothing to gain ai;d everything to lose, by it. " What then! Well like most chief executives he wants to keep his job. He doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him. He does care a LOT what the German people think of him. Not only in Germany, but in Austria, and throughout the world. esse XX7ELL there is no use denying that the German people think " more of Hitler and his regime today, than ever before. He is stronger now than at anytime since he came into power. No matter what the ultimate consequences Hitler's prestige and power have gone up 100 percent, since last Saturday. That's what he wanted, and if the truth were known, prob ably ALL he wanted. The disarmament conference gave him the opportunity. He took advantage of it. No mere fool, with pop eyes, a greasy forelock, a mouth on a swivel joint and a tooth-brush mustache, could do that. Hitler must have something more on the ball than his outside critics, or his photographer, have been willing to admit Start in Now Real estate t ;nsursnu leave 1: to Jonas. Phone Me, A SPECIAL session of the legislature has been called for No vcmber 20th. This gives about a month for the members to prepare a definite program. We hope these five weeks will be devoted toward that end, instead of being merely written 'off as a mere breathing spell before actual work begins. The liquor problem is going to be a particularly knotty affair. Fortunately the Rockefeller Foundation haa prepared a detailed report on the problem, the main portons of which have already been released. It would be an exceedingly pious idea if each member would get a copy of this report, and digest it, before the session opens. The main problem is TO PROVIDE -THE MAXIMUM REVENUE ON ONE HAND, AND PREVENT THE RETURN OF THE SALOON, AND THE CONTINUANCE .OF THE BOOTLEGGING RACKET ON THE OTHER. The two objectives are inherently conflicting. That is the higher the tax imposed on hard liquor, the greater the danger of illicit manufacture j the lower the tax the less the danger. A happy medium between the two extremes is what must be achieved if the problem is to be successfully solved. This will require the most thorough study, the most careful deliberation and the highest type of courageous statesmanship, that the membership of the special sesson can muster.

I have seen Inquiries tn your column from women who wondered whst risk childbirth at the age ot 3 and 38. I have hop ed someone as old as I might Inquire. Would It be too great a risk for a wo man of 43 to have a f I r a t child? I was mar ried late, but my husband. &1- 3kh.&H of children. thinks It too mucn ot a risk. I am quite healthy and come of a fam ily that have children easily, but of course married younger . . . (R. H. N.) I should say to any woman who contemplates with tear and tremb ling the Idea ot having her first baby, that It Is never too lste to begin unless It Is too late to beget. Towards fifty most women arrive at the menopause, the natural or physiological termination of the ma ternal function or ovulation, and with It the menstruation ceases. After that a woman can seldom have a baby without the great risk of scsndal In the neighborhood, espec ially If the neighbors know more than desirable neighbors having any business knowing. But any woman who haa not yet passed the menopause and who suc ceeds In roping and tying a man who Is fit for paternity should not count her years when It comes to the question of raising a family. She should rather consider her phys ical fitness. That has little to do with age. Some women at 35 are as old or older than other women at 45. If our Canadian correspondent can roll a somersault she can face child birth with cheerful assurance. May be that will sound silly to some of you hopelessly old.4 women of 30 or 40. but I mean It. I suppose It would be a fine plan If every woman, and every man. were required to submit to a medical ex amination to determine fitness for msrrlage before the engagement and surely before the wedding. But that seems to be Utopian. We have to fall back on the plan of urging every woman to report to her phy slclsn for examination and advice as soon as she even suspects she Is going to bear a child. A lot of suf fering and sorrow could . be pre vented If every woman would do this Instead of taking advice and hearing disturbing yarns from all the veritable old women and Salrey gamps of the vicinity. Accurate records . of childbirth In a large series of esses showed that the healthy woman who beara her first child when she Is nearly 40 may expect a normal delivery, es pecially If she has kept herself fair ly fit by exercise. No better exercise to promote an easy confinement than a. dally walk of a tew miles. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Meat Is High Aa we have no Ice, meat we have on hand often developa a alight de cayed smell. We reluctantly throw It away for fear of poisoning. Is there danger in eating auch meat? (P. K.) Answer Not as long as the tsste is not repulsive. Why not buy only enough meat for the day, Instesd of buying the lsrger qusntlty at a time? Bowleg Daughter, 20 months, bowlegged. Diet cows milk, break and butter. cereals, crackers, potstoes. A phy sician recommended giving calcium lactate and we have boon gdvlng her two 6-graln tablets a day. Is that sufficient treatment? Answer Add bananas to the diet. Give her a dally ration of cod liver oil or hallver oil (halibut liver oil) She should have a dally sunbath with precaution against overexpos ure and burning, but with the pur pose of developing a coat of tan. Plenty of dally exercise at play, es pecially pushing a pushmoblle, tri cycle or bicycle. . The legs wlfl straighten .sa she grows more vigor ous. Liver let Live Is pig's liver as wholesome as calf's llvsr? I fry It two or three minutes, until no blood runs when It la cut. (8. B.) Answer Any liver should be quite thoroughly cooked. Pig's liver Is not so wholesome sa calf's. Ed Note; Readers wishing to communicate with Dr. Brsdy ihould senn letters direct to Dt. William Brady. M. D.. MS El Ca oilno. Beverly Rills, Calif.

His newspaper work Includes stays on Col. Nelson's Kansas City Star, Philadelphia, New York, 8an Fran cisco and Los Angclea papers, and he was for four years city editor of the Denver Post. He haa ridden the rods as well as gracing the drawing rooms, and visited every spot in Ame: lea that haa a depot. Today he may be walking the ave nue, tomorrow flying to the Arctic Circle.

This contra diction must be solved and quickly, else the greet swindle will go boom. Mr. Barnes' scheme may be the thing needed. And It might not. The leaning Is strong thst It Isn't.

Comment . on the Day's News By rRANE JENKINS GERMANY, dominated by Dictator Hitler, announces her Intention to withdraw from the disarmament conference and ths League of Nations. HY doea Germany propose to withdraw? Thla seems to be the answer: Under the treaty of Versalllea, she la forbid den to ARM. The League ot Nations, more or less Indirectly, Is a part of the enforcement machinery of the treaty. "8o," Germany says, "If the League ot Nations won't permit us to arm, we'll WITHDRAW from membership in the League of Nations." -pHE League ot Nstlons, you will re- member, frowned on Japan'a am bition to seize Msnchurla. AU It did, of course, waa to FROWN. It couldnt do anything else, because It had no POWER to do anything. But Japan didn't like the frowning. 8o Japan withdrew from the league and went ahead and SEIZED Man churia. Nothing happened. If Europe Insists on going to war again, the thing for us to do la to stay In our own yard and mind our own business. I'.'BT one other word: " We resd, In a dispatch from Ge neva: "Germany will be told In brief, courtly yet unequivocal terms that her accusations that the other great powers are Insincere when they say they will disarm are entirely un founded and unjust." n THAT sounds good, but It I8NT TprrR. With the exception of this country. and the possible exception of Russls, the great powers have been UTTERLY INSINCERE when they have aald that they will disarm. They have been getting together In conference and TALKING disarma ment, and all the time going ahead and arming more heavily than ever before. That's the plain truth of the mat ter. 1 wanted Manchuria. The 1APAN league objected. So Japan with drew from the league and TOOK Manchuria. Germany wanta to arm. The league objects. So Germany proposes to withdraw from the league and ARM. That's about the long and the short of it. .GERMANY announcea her wlth- drawal from the League of Na tions and the disarmament confer ence. Immediately all Europe flames with a war scare. H" (Continued tram Page One) business letter-services, which hardly helped Johnson's purpose. Notes.

I have seen two on silk cushions gazing from the windows of limousines. All of which brings us a few days nearer to the commune I ERE Is the reason: Franca wants to keep Qermany disarmed. She sees In the proposed withdrawal evidence of Germany's In tention to re-arm, regardless. So It la possible, perhaps even prob able, that she may take the bull by the horns and Invade Germany to prevent re-armament. P THAT happened, all Europe would ha rtraUTT! Intn fi niulnn slnio- gle. That Is why Germany's withdrawal from the league causes Europe to shiver with war fright, f4 HAT of us? What will we do about It? How will all this af fect OUR fortunes? These questions are reflected In thla paragraph from a Washington : news dispatch tn yesterday's papers: j "The speculation in Washington re- I volvea around the probability of a j new war In Europe, and the stand the United States would take with respect to It." TPHIS writer, who la Just one small i unimportant individual, whose opinion Isn't worth much, finds no trouble at all In answering these questions to his own satisfaction. If war SHOULD COME In Europe, j we should do nothing about It at all. i We fought one war, at frightful cost, to make the world safe for democracy, and accomplished NOTHING in that direction.
