"THE ROYAL SCOTT"
Sleeping cars o( "The Royal Scot",
reputed the flneit train In the world
have no name a refreshing oontraat
to the tongue-twisters that often
adorn ttie sides of American Pull
man. The train operated by the "London,
Midland and Scottish Railway of
Great Britain", on a visit to the
Morth American oontlnent, and the
"Century of Progreaa" exposition at
Ch!:Js. stopped Tuesday at uuns
. mulr. Calif. It waa Tlaited. by achool
Children of Dunamulr, and citizens of
Modoc, Butte, Lassen and Siskiyou
counties. Also among those present
were A. S. Roeenbaum of the South
ern Pacific William Altken, the
plumber, who as a boy watched the
"Royal Scot" whtui o'er the bonny
braee of Scotland, and your corr, Mr,
Altken 'was the train's most ardent
admirer. He had known It as a boy
and man. Mr. Altken felt that a
Highland bagpipe band should hare
been along, which would hav been
too much, what with the depression
till upon us.
Shooing the sightseers along, before
and after, that visited the "Royal
Scot" was Daniel O'Connell, ohlef of
the Southern Pacific railroad special
agents, who ten years ago this month
waa starting on a four year hunt for
the notorious DeAutremont brothers,
Siskiyou tunnel murderers and ban
dits. The nameless steeping oar berths
are more compact but roomier, than

As perhaps you know It Is like orank

The luggage van la about the lire

eloset. This Is the biggage coach
ahead,
The regular British engine crew and
triln crew were giabbad by the Duna
mulr CofO and motored over to ln
apect a flab, hatchery. A ride would
be appreciated. The engine was In
the round-house. It has drive wheels
(1 Inches high, and goes 890 miles In
10 hours. Tr, engineer has no place
to sit dowu. British efficiency also
requires that the throttle be pulled
across the cab, and Is located clitn
high to the engineer. The fireman has
a seat, but no time to sit down, as
the engine burns coal exclusively.
Mo. 1601 has no cowcatcher. Man or
beast upon the right of way has no
chance of getting caught. Instead
of being pinned between the cow
catcher and the mil, the deceased Is
about four ooachea back from the
engine, and easier to remove. The
bell la located Just above where the
cowcatcher should be. Mr. Altken
stated thU waa not there when be

Get the Facts First!
A RURAL subscriber comes; to thig office to howl against the
county budget. He is mad, mad clear through.
The very idea, says he, that any budget committee could
think of increasing taxes at such a time as this, with the people
unable to pay the taxes they now owe. It's ail outrage. He
wants something done about it, and wants it done right now.
All right. Does be know why an increase in the budget was
necessary. No he doesn't Well b 'ore be howls against
budget increase, shouldn't he find out why that increase was
madet
r0ES he know what a deficit ist Tes he does. Well if he
had a deficit in his own business to meet this year what
would he do about HI Well he would pay it if he could. If he
couldn't he would, well probably he would have to let his
place go.
EXACTLY! Well fhe county has a deficit to meet, due
principally to county relief and the cost of the "Good Govern
ment" trials, both expenses which last year's budget committee
did not anticipate, and therefore did not provide for.
What would he have the county dot Meet that deficit or let
the county go go through bankruptcy.
Well be supposed it would have to be paid.
All right but HOW can it be pajd without levying taxes
to pay it I"
"DUT they have actually raised wages for some county en
ployees when thousands of people are out of work and
have no wages at all.",
All right, again. Some wages
year, but are still far below the
much they have been raised,
affects the budget as a whole t
No he doesn't and he doesn't
raises at all I and and
BUT JUST A MINUTE I If
enced employee who will quit his
do you do I Just fire him and hire someone else? Perhaps so
but not if you have an eye to the welfare of your business,
Tou decide, first, whether that increasod wage is a fair wage,
for what you are getting under conditions which prevail; you
decide whether you would be money ahead, by giving a slight
increase and keeping your experienced force, or hiring an in
experienced man, and impairing the efficiency and production
level of your business administration.
That's a sound principle in PRIVATE business isn't itt
Well then why isn't it a sound prinoiple in the PUBLIC business t
IN short we told our irate visitor to get the facta before he
yells, to find out just why this year's budget is higher than
last year's, before he condemns the well known citizens of Jack
son county, who after weeks of work and study, prepared it.
Then when he knows what he Is talking about let hira go
before the budget committee at the public hearing next month,
and register his complaint.
If the budget as prepared, can be reduced without being
penny wise and pound foolish, without ultimately increasing
the tax bill, by reducing the efficiency of business that MUST
BE DONE, let's reduce it by all means.
The members of the budget committee, as tax payers them
selves, certainly donVwant a higher tax than circumstances
demand.
But for the love of Mike, got the facts-all tho facts.-FIRSTI
Buy Help Your Country and
Yourself!
i i
f OVERNMENT statistics just released show elearly why the
;N. R, A. has bogged down.
Employment and payrolls have risen steadily since the sum-1
mer peak but everything else, particularly buying, has deolined.
Employment, for example, since July has Increased from 70
to 75 j payrolls have increased from 49 to 58; but production
has declined from 100 to 80 j freight oar loadings from 65 to 59;
sales froifl 71 to 66.
In other words the final step necessary to balance the N. R.
A. set-up and make it a success, has NOT been taken. The people
of the country as a whole, have not, as they have been urged to
do, started to buy. The buyers strike that was such a vital
factor in the depression, is still on. .
Or to express it in another way, while the business men hsve
done their part, raised wages and increased the list of em
ployees ; the people the consumers have not done theirs.
O ENERAL JOHNSON has urged them to buy. President
Roosevelt in his gold control pronouncement, has given
them another inducement to buy for raising the price of gold
will inevitably increase eommodity prices. But apparently the
people have not believed what in: been told them, or at least
haven't aoted upon that belief. ,
Nevertheless prices have increased during thV past four
months, and are bound to increase more. Those who do not buy
will PAT FOR IT, when they are forced to purchase what they
need either that or the entire relief program will fail, and eon
ditions will become even more ehaotie and desperate than they
have been.
There is however a hopeful factor in the situation. With
employment increasing and payrolls increasing, the purchasing"
power of the country as a whole, is greater now than it has been
for a long time. It takes time, however, for this money to get
into circulation and return to those who have distributed it
There is good reason to believe that statistics for the next quar
ter will Bhow an increase in buying from this cause ilone.
And when it once starts, it is probable that the buyers strike
will gradually decline.
In short this N. R. A. program is a very intricate one, and
to function completely takes time. The thing to do is to give
it time, on one hand; and for those who have money, to start
spending it on the other.
.Charley Chaplin hit the nail on the head when he said!
"The unemployed have nothing, but there are ninety million
people In America, myself Included, who have means who have
the purchasing power to buy now and who can help to put
those unemployed back to work. After all. we are not making
any sacrifices, on the contrary, It Is to our advantage If we buy
now, because prices are bound to rise later on."

contracted t h
foot Itch, tricho
phytosis, derma-

The parasite Is picked up by walk

Is a wise precaution never to touch
naked foot to floor In any such situa
tion, or In a hotel room or aboard a
train or boat; always carry your own
slippers, even If they are only paper
covers.
In. some gymnasia and swimming
pools the spread of ths foot Itch has
been prevented by a shsllow tank or
tub of solution of a pound of pho
tographer's hypo (sodium hyposul
phite or sodium thlosulphate as It
waa formerly called) In the gallon of
water. Each person passing to or
from the shower or pool or dressing

of one ounce of sodium hyposulphite
mixed with flvo ounces of boric acid
has been found effective In prevec
Ing and curing mild ;asea 1 is used
In the stockings and In 'the shoes as
a foot powder.
An ointment first recommended by
a London" skin specialist and named
after him Whitfield's ointment, Is
perhaps the moat reliable remedy for
foot Itch, whether the fungus Infec
tion be confined to the feet or spread
to other areas, say the bands, or
sometimes In the crotch. This Is
the recipe for Whitfield's ointment:
Salicylic acid 16 grains
Benzoic acid 36 Drains
Soft petrolatum ,, 3 drams
Cocosnut oil. enough to make one
ounce of ointment.
Directions: Apply each nlltht for
a week to the affected patches of
skin. Wash off each morning. Rest
a week. Resume If necessary.

Tet suburban dreams are often
nightmares. Some years ago. during
a hard up hiatus, we experimented
with life in one of a row of all-alike
houses. pleasant change, hearing
the crickets and tree frogs from their
grotto of bushed shadows and gazing
upon the petty affaire of friendly
neighbors. But sometimes they be
came too friendly. Tho neat, bleak
woman next door, par example, who
harbored unquenchable enthusiasm
for funerals and dropped In nightly
to tell us about them. We fled from
her back to the city with a 960 check

can never subtract from Manhattan's
massed charm neighbors never, never

It was Charles and Kathleen Nor
rls, as I recall, during the struggling
era, who lived In a walk-up fring
ing Washington Square. Across the
hall lived another young couple. All
the time they lived so close they did
not speak. Years later a whim of
destiny corraled them In the same
camel caravan, treklng to the Sphinx.
As they grouped about, Kathleen nod
ding toward the majestic silences of
the Sphinx observed to 'her fellow
flat dwellers: "It had nothing on
us!" The ice was broken and they
enjoyed a contentful talk.
I ara told the very last sketch Ring
Lardner contributed to the New
Yorker was "Odd's Bodkins!" It was
a lusty, stinging and bully travesty
of this column, done with all the fine
Lardnerlsm lilt for accuracies. He
had promised Harold Ross, the editor,
the skit for many weeks, remarking:
"I want to burlesque Odd Mclntyre
Just once before I dlel" And he did
magnificently.
Not many writers ever showed the
fortitude of Lardner in his last
months. Sensitive to his wasted
frame, he saw only his family, Percy
Hammond, John Wheeler and next
door neighbor Orantland Rice. His
nights were dreary tortures of agony
and wakefulness. He would sit on
the bedside and tap out a word at
a time between paroxysms. Some
times a word, then a solid hour be
fore another. Yet In this way be
continued to make the world laugh.
After dropping my hat, cane and
gloves, and In leaning over to re
trieve them, my bill fold and pencil,
at the Music Hall this afternoon, an
annoyed gentleman next seat barked:!

dozen rehearsals. It's complete."

Questions Faith In Gold.
To the Editor: ,
We do not wish to criticize Mr.
Barnes" commodity money. We think
It la aa sound as a dollar. But we
do wish to criticize the faith Mr.
Barnes haa In his money ,aa well as
the faith so commonly placed In
gold.
There Is an old saying "Nothing Is
good or bad, but thinking makes It
so." However, this la evidently true
only In a certain sense. The people
of one age thought the world flat
and were held back until that Idea
was corrected. Today we are being
held back by beliefs equally errone
ous. On of these beliefs Is that no
medium of exchange la sound unless
It Is agreed that It shall be redeem
able In gold. We thought for a tlmo
Mr. Barnes was going off the gold
standard, like our Uncle flam, but
conclude It was merely a slip of the
tongue or of the foot.
As our population Increases, com
modities must Increase In order to
meet the greater demand. The aup
ply of gold Is limited. Though It Is
sometimes given In marriage, It does

be done. We may permit our com

in price or periodically put our gold
through a stretching process.
President Roosevelt has already
given It a little stretching. Mr.
Barnes suggests It be stretched to
MS per ounce. We would then have
an alloy composed of one part gold
and one and one-half parts atmos

up the value of their holdings In this
manner, it la cslled watering their

means he Is paying his bondholders

smacks of confiscation and might al

you think?
