HE'LL MAKE MODEL PRISONER (Kansas City Star) The defense sought to show him as a Sunday school boy, a Boy Scout and member of the De Molay, led Into the Incrimin ating situation by clrcumstanoea beyond his own control. At me same time It showed him aa the companion of Howard B. Wilson, burglar and user of liquor and narcotics, In whose company he was when arrested In Roanoke, V. The popularity of bcwllng, Indi cates that ths menfoiks, don't like to stay home any better than their wives. If often appears that higher educa tion in this state, needs a referee, more than a chancellor. The Don Runyard kid Is new tour (4) years old. He I very sociable, friendly, and smiling, and la a natural-born Klwanlan, with his eye on a political office. PIONEER "AS YE SOW" (Pendleton East Oregonlan) Some of the members of the Pendleton fire department are very negligent and will not at tend the meetings. Some of the members own considerable prop erty In this town but show no interest In its preservstlon. It Is to be hoped that these are the ones who will bear the loss It a fire occurs. (60 Tears Ago Col.) ... J. Curtis Barnes, the economist, la after the "Idle rich" again, and nar rowly averted embroiling Prof. Rel- mer In an argument yosterday. The loss or winning of an argument I nothing to Mr. Barnes, and he Is foxy arguer. Take his opening wedge: "Now you have S10O. , , ." That sounds nice, and the first thing the listener knows, he has spent the aioo. but haa 1100, due to the Barnes' magic getting In Its fine work on the current dollar. The dif ference between the proposed Barnea dollar, and the Uncle Sam dollar, Is the backing. Also people, are better acquainted with the Uncle Sam dot lar, or used to be. The Barnes dol lar has no bartering power. This Is another delect. Under the Barnea plan, everybody would be his own mint, and forgery would be abolish rt. Tt la when Mr. Barnes la talking about the sales tax, that he chase the opposition up a tree. Nobody can tell accurately Just what would happen to a Republican monster, who dared to try and bully Henry Ford, and said the things at' trlbuted to Genera! JohnsOA, the NRA ace.

Beattl was a business caller In Med - tad veeteidav, A Prohibition Party THE rejuvenation of a national Prohibition party, following ih rsneal nf fhe 18th amendment, hag at least two things to commend it. First, such action will allow interested in nothing but the liquor issue, a sure and satisfac tory, medium for political expression, now denied them in the two major parties. Second, the formation of a the hypocritical professional politicians, in both major parties, who in fear of losing votes, have flirted in public with the W. C. T. U., and then in private from their favorite bootlegger. WITH prohibition repeal an accomplished fact, the lines can hn shnrnlv drawn between those who believe in con tinuing the wet-dry agitation, with a view to "repealing" the repeal, and those who don't, but prefer to regard the matter of repeal an accomplished fact, and for the time being at least, a closed incident. The confirmed and uncompromising Drys will align them selves with the first faction j a vast majority of the American people, with the second. The only liquor issue remaining with the second faction, will be regarding the best method, by which legalized liquor can be controlled, so as to gain the maximum economic benefit, and the minimum moral loss. Neither major party will concern itself with a repeal of the repeal a return to national prohi bition, which with Kentucky returns in, has been overwhelm ingly repudiated by 37 states out of 48, and only endorsed by two! Certainly minority political actfon is an inalienable demo cratic right j but in the face of such a popular referendum, SHOULDN'T such an OVERWHELMING majority RULE? On the OROBABLT no individual is of this latest Cuban revolution that Sumner 'Welles, the American ambassador to that country. The Roosevelt administration the present Cuban government advised against it. Being on the excellent judgment, his view prevailed. If the Grau San Martin government is overthrown, Ambas sador Welles wins. If it isn't, and this uprising is crushed, then he loses and in all liklihood will retire. It is a very critical time for Mr. Welles. It took plenty of stamina to stand against the de facto government, but in a situation like this the stamina of an individual doesn't count. It is a matter of being wise before the event, wise and lucky. If Ambassador Welles guessed right he is "made;" if he guessed wrong he is down and out as far as diplomacy is con cerned. The next few days are very momentous ones for Mr. Welles ! He Takes the Palm! CPEAKING of stamina we would like to pay a tribute to this General Johnson at the head of the administration's N. R. A. program. For sheer intestinal fortitude he deserves the Croix de Guerre with a palm. He may not be the wisest or most diplo matio man in the world; but when it comes to actual animal courage, we doubt if he has a peer. With the farmers of the Middlewest in revolt, with feeling against the Roosevelt administration and the N. R. A. at a fever heat, this titular head and official spokesman of the entire pro gram, proceeds to invade the corn belt alone, and take the stump in defense of his policies and against the embattled malcontents. If such action doesn't take does I Win, lose or draw, the most fearless dare-devil, arena today. The Only Way TTHE issue in this state educational controversy is clearly --w vsi .. v. tion, the strife and dissension will continue. When, and ,only when another chancellor is selected, from outside the state, in no way involved in the mess, it will STOP. This is the problem in a nut con can be advanced until Doomsday, but will contribute noth ing more to its solution. The issue is NOT a personal one no one questions Dr. Kerr's abilities as demonstrated at 0. S. C., or his integrity as a man. The fact romains, that placing the institutions of higher learning in this state, under the control of the former executive head of one of them, hasn't worked, and CAN'T work. It simply isn't in the Had the former Presidont ur. ttorrs position, the situation today would have been the same.

Newly ninety per cent ot the heat loss of the body occurs through evap- j oration ot water from the lcln weat) and r a d 1 a tion and conduction 1 from- the akin, i Ten per cent of the heat low oc curs through the warming of air by the lungs and the vaporization of water from the lungs the ex pired air Is near ly saturated with water vapor. A dog pants In very hot weamer because the dogs akin Is not equipped with vasomotor nerves over most of the body, nerves which, In man, react to heat by pro ducing sweating, and the dog's hair Interferes with free loss of heat by radiation, so the dog has to do the best he can by warming more air with his lungs and vaporizing more water through the air he breathes. He pants to Keep cool. Having learned that ordinary air contalns only 4 parts of carbon diox ide in a thousand, and the air a per son expires contains nearly 44 part of carbon dioxide In a thousand, some persons Imagine that It Is the Increased proportion of carbon diox ide in the air that accounts for the 111 effects of "foul" air. This it not so, nor Is the depressing effect of vitiated or "Impure" air due to the diminished proportion of oxygen in the expired air (ordinary air con tains more than 200 parts of oxy gen in thousand and the expired breath only 16 parts). It has been proved over and over again that no unpleasant consequence occurs wnen an individual breathes air contain ing the proportions of carbon dioxide and oxygen found in expired air. When the comparatively harmless ness of expired air was scientifically established, some persons conceived a theory that an unrecognized "tox in" or "ptomaine" or similar organic poison exhaled from the lungs might account for the 111 effects of "bad" al But thla theory Is no lbnger en tertained. We know now that the disagreeable symptoms produced by exposure to foul" air, are due to overheating or the air, increased humidity or .mois ture (evaporated by bodies) and stagnation of the air, absence of draft or motion. Subjects confined In her metically sealed chambers equipped with means of cooling the air,- keep ing It in motion, and removing ex cess of moisture, can breathe the lim ited amount of air over and over without suffering any unpleasant con sequences, but If the fan stops or the other air conditioning provisions are interrupted, the occupants of the chamber quickly develop the mental dullness, nausea, headache and other familiar symptoms of "bad" air. Air temperature and motion are usually easy to provide, and when these two factors are provided the humidity will regulato Itself.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THIS writer attended a lodge meet ing In Klamath Falls the other night, and over the refreshments that followed the meeting a little group of old-timers grew reminiscent of the early days in that country the "good old days,' you know. These reminiscences dealt with banking, with property values, with taxpaylng, with the status of news papers In those days a rather wfde range of subjects. They pictured a freedom and ease of living, a broad measure of confidence In one's fellow men, that slowly are passing, even down here in Southern Oregon. This writer found them fascinat ing. fjANKING In the early days of D this country," George Grizzle, county Judge of Klamath, was re- i minded, "was pretty much of a free j and easy Institution. Depositors put In money when they had it, and ; wrote checks when they wanted to. ! "If there wasnt money enough in the account to cover the checks, which were apt to be large, they 1 went as overdrafts, and Vio overdrafts : were paid at the first convenient ' time. "The point Is that they were AL WAYS paid.

I know because. XOYEIBER 9, 1933. TOUT, In the course of time, and O with the passing of new laws, the banks had to tighten up In their methods. As a part of this tighten ing up process, one of them notified one of Its customers one day that he was considerably overdrawn. "When he got the notice, be blew up. 'What do you mean, jumping me about my ovedraft?' he wrote In dignantly: 'When I've got $15,000 or 420,000 In your bank, do I come around every day or so wanting to know what you're doing with It and Insinuating that I may not get It back?'" , TTERE'S something you may not X X believe In, these days," Nate Otterbeln, an old-time printer, chim ed in, "but It's true: "Back in the early days in this country, the BORROWER and not the lender was as like as not to keep the note. I remember one such case. One man lent another several thou sand dollars. Wihen the note was made out and the borrower tendered It to him, he said: " No you keep It. If I took It, I'd probably lose It, but If you keep tt I'll know It's safe. Besides, If you have the note with you it will be a reminder to you of when It's due.' " IMAGINE that, If you can! What a a country mu must xiave oceu back in those early days, when every body had confidence In everybody else at least, so far as paying debts was concerned 1 TIHE frst piece of property I ac- L quired in this town," Judge Grizzle recollected, "cost me $300. I told the man who wanted to sell It to me: 'I'll give you $100 six months hence, $100 more In 12 months and the last $100 in 18 months.' "He said: That'll be all right,' made out a deed to me, took back a mortgage and- the property was mine. The first tax statement I got was for $2, and I was prouder than Punch. I'd become a property owner and a taxpayer, you see, and that was something to be proud of. "My tax statements now are for a lot more, but Instead of being prod of them, as I was then, I kick like everybody else." WHEN you come ttTthlnk of it, the Judge was right back In those days. Being a taxpayer IS some thing to be proud of. It's a sign you're getting along in the world and beginning to amount to some thing.' If a lot more of us thought of our taxes In that way, it would be a lot better for the country and a lot belter for US. 4 UNFORTUNATELY, most of us have formed the habit of think ing of our taxes as something go ing out and nothing COMING BACK.

We get schools an roads and police protection, and a LOT OP THINGS.
