A pamphlet has been Issued on why potatoes will not grow In the Rogue River valley. Several reasons are set forth. The chief reason why potatoea will not grow In the Rogue River valley, is because they are not plant ed In the Rogue River valley.

OOMEONE has sent us an excerpt from a speech delivered by & Secretary of State Hull, dated October 22nd, 1932 a little over a year two. It was a campaign speech. Mr. Hull bitterly assailed the Hawlcy tariff bill, claimed it benefitted only big business, while it robbed the common people and particularly the farmer, and concluded in words to this effect: "Tear down the tariff barriers, resume trade with the world, and thus return the United States to a rational and Increasing prosperity, In a world atmoephere of frlendllneas and peace." Yes, there were several anti-tariff speeches of that tenor made by Democrats during the campaign, particularly in south ern rural districts, and everyone remembers how persistently President Hoover and Secretary Mills made tariff protection the outstanding issue throughout the north, during the final weeks of the campaign. The sender of the clipping writes on the margin: "Where has that tearing down of tariff barriers gone? What In hell has become of the tariff anyway?" . . TN'DOUBTEDLY pertinent questions but frankly we don't know. We do know there has been no tearing down of tariff barriers, and that the Hawley tariff schedules are still in effect. But in the midst of the recovery program and the New Deal, the tariff as an issue, has undoubtedly gone wherever dead issues do go. For at this writing the tariff as an issue is certainly dead. While campaign speeches such as Secretary Hull delivered, are not only dead but buried- Just where we can't say. Yes they belong to another era. The New Deal is now the only American issue, and in that new deal a high protective tariff is essential. TPAKE the farm problem, for example. Obviously under' the Roosevelt-Wallace plan, involving as it does the curtailment of acreage and decrease in production, importation of foreign farm products must be Btoppcd. Not only would it be grossly unfair to the American farmer to insist upon his growing less wheat for example, and then buy wheat from the farmer in Eussia or the Argentine; but with wheat pouring in from foreign farms, the entire new set-up in agriculture would fail. For this set-up is based STRICTLY UPON AMERICAN PRODUC TION, not world production. In fact not only a protective tariff but practically speaking an embargo is essential. A8 lon as the democratic party favors its present national economic policies, it must be a higher tariff party than the Republican party ever dreamed of being. What applies to wheat applies also to cotton, lumber, sugar, oil and what have you. fhe very cornerstone of the NRA is not only retention of t,e hlirrien thfl prcsent gccretnry of State so bitterly condemned, but making them higher and higher as conditions of , foreign and domestic trade demand, Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS CNOINEERS estimate, as you read - In thle column Friday, that a PROPERLY streamlined automobile could be driven by a 25-horaepower motor at speeds of 100 miles an hour or more with far leu consumption of gasoline than at present. It la at hlgth speed, you know, that consumption of fuel la greatest. That Is because of resistance of the air, which Increases as speed Increases. Streamlining cuts down air reslst- ance. IF YOU want to get an Idea of what air resistance means, and how It can be reduced by proper design, and what reduction of resistance means In the way of 8AVINO POW ER, take a lath and awlal It through the air with the broad side exposed. Note the effort required. NOW turn yTuVlath EDGEWISE to the air and awlsh it. You will observe that only a fraction of the former effort Is required. If you will round slightly the for ward edge of your lath and taper the back edge off to a gradual point, so that a cross section of It will bo approximately the shape of a cigar, you will find that air resistance Is still further reduced. That la what streamlining does. ANOTHER question arises here: What Is PROPER streamlining? Well, the cigar seems to be about as perfectly streamlined an object as we now know. The big Zeppelln type airships, which MUST overcome! air resistance In order to make speed, j are shaped almost exactly like a cigar. So It follows, you see, that a PROPEHLY streamlined automobile will be shaped about like a cigar, with the blunt end In front and the ' tapering end behind. 1 W" HY don't we have automobiles like that now, If the advan tages of such construction are so great? The answer is that the manufac turers are afraid we WOULDN'T BUY THEM, because of too mucv. depart ure from the conventional. Men, you know, are creatures of convention afraid to be aeen with anything that isn't Just like that everybody elw has. IF YOU , doubt that, consider the hard-boiled hat. If there la anything mora hideout than the average man In a hard boiled hat, It would be hard to im agine. But wirn hard-boiled hats are THE THING, your average man Just MUST have one, even If he looks so hideous In It that he frightens the nsblM Into convulsions. Men art like that. THAT Is why the automobile man ufacturers are edging gradually Into streamlining. Instead' of doing It all at once. THE engineers tell us that Vie A PROPERLY streamlined car the kind that will make 100 miles an hour with a 35-horsepower engine and with small gasoline consump tionmust be shaped somewhat like a cigar, largest In frtint, with a rounded, blunt nose and tapering off to a point In the rear. Fenders, lights, etc.. must be In corporated Into the body. The flat windshield must be replaced with rounded windows. And the engine, they say, must In all probability be placed In the rear, It Js the narrowest part of the car. AIRCRAFT that climb above the atmosphere Into the strato sphere and travel at terrific speeds. Automobiles with tiny engines that will do 100 miles an hour and 40 or 60 miles to tihe gallon. Even possibly communication with other planets by means of this cosmic ray they are studying.

Oo fci C CRAMPS IN The symposium on leg cramps, which seem' to trouble many persons at night and prevent sleep, would run on and on if we held the forum open long enough, but there are enough votes now In to call it a day and report the out- come to our readers. In order to save space 111 quote only the essential point and give the In- 1 1 1 a 1 a of the reader who submitted It: I have found relief from tbe cramps by Just covering my head with the bedclothes and rebrea thing the sU- a few minutes. (Miss V. W. M.) Tills has relieved me many times, Lie on back with feet one foot apart. Turn toes of each foot Inward (pigeon-toed) as far as possible and hold them there from 15 to 30 seconds. Then assume the normal position and go to sleep. (M. L. D.) Lie on back and slowly lift limb to an angle. This never falls to re lieve cramps and straighten out the kinks. (Mrs. W. A. D.) (Mrs. L. B. fiends the same suggestion). My legs are nearly 60 years old. Formerly I suffered with leg cramps at night. A niece from Saskatoon advised a simple remedy: Wear tight garters at night. I have done so ever since and have never had any more cramps. (T. W.) (Mrs. F. S. reports similar method). I have found it efficacious to place the hollow of the foot of the cramp ed leg on the Instep of other foot and press steadily. This relieves the cramp without the necessity of get ting up. (F. H. C.) Put extra covers over legs from knees down. I seldom suffer cramps since I began doing this. (E. A. L.) Tie a strip of cloth three inches wide tightly around the leg above the bandage. (Mrs. N. S.) This Is practically the same thing as wear ing a garter around the leg above or below the knee.) I read your readers observation (Continued irom Page One) the proper time with a plan for sil ver purchases. Silver certificates would be Issued against these pur chases. The amount expected varies from fifty million dollars to two hundred millions. Such a program would be mildly Inflationary and largely for relief in the silver areas Notes The theme song written In the treasury press room for Morgenthau J. Bennett Gordon, research director. Lost Wrlteup." An irreverent car toon on the wall pictures Messrs Morgenthau and Jones on their hands and knees casting dice to de cide what the dally gold price should be. Morgenthau knew the newsmen well at Albany and at the White House h e, but did not recognlro a familiar face In his first treasury press conference when he proposed the news restriction order. One rea son the order was modified was that newsmen tested tls efficiency by del uging It with Inquiries.

LEGS AT NIGHT that pressing firmly against foot board of bed with toes relieved the Cramps. I find that Iget relief rather by pressing with the heels. (N. D. A.) Put on woolen army soz every night. (Mrs. N. N.) Lie flat on back and draw feet up toward knees five or six times, keeping tbe legs stiff. (Mrs. M.) Bury face In pillow and breathe deeply the same air over and over for a few minutes. (K. P. 8.) That, I think, fairly well covera the situation. If you are annoyed by these cramps In the legs you pays your subscription and takes your choice of the methods of get' ting relief. QUESTIONS AND ANWERS White Spots on Face I would like to know if I can have some white spots removed from the skin under my eyes. (Mrs. F. H.) Answer Yes, a good skin specialist (only a physician should be entrust ed with such treatment) can oblit erate the blemishes either with electro-destccatlon, electrolysis, car bon dioxide snow or other means. Similar blemishes on tbe eyelids are amenable to the same treatment and without any danger to the eyes. No Accounting for Tastes Can you telj me how to have a baby girl? we have a little boy, but we should like . , . (Mrs. A, G. L.) Answer What, you actually want a girl baby? No one knows how to predetermine sex. You'll have to take your chances. Fortunately It Is about 60-50 that you'll get a boy oh, my mistake a girl. Who Knows What Rheumatlz Can you give any advice about the best treatment for rheumatism with out knowing which kind It Is? Mine seems to be ... (L. L. H.) Answer Doesn't matter. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad dress and Inclose a dime (not stamps) ask for booklet "The Ills Called Rheumatism." Ed Note: Readers wishing to communicate wltb Dr. Brady should send tetters direct to Or. William Brady. M. D4 265 El Ca rol no, Beverly Hills, Cailf The fact that Mrs. Gann Is getting her picture in the papers again Is sufficient proof of renewed Repub lican activity. The problem of code violations In certain Industries is causing plenty of trouble Inside the NRA now.

AGED PORTUNDER The announcement In Wednesdays Oregonian of the approaching birth day celebration of Mrs. Ellen Pelton of that city, who will be 100 yeara old next Wednesday, was read with great interest by at least one resident of this city James Taylor.
