there are not enough to aupply tha
demand. Pew It any, ever dreamed
that the day would coma when they
would hsve to take their rifle and
revolver and go out and hunt for a
calendar, aa they would a duck, or a

December It was a battle to keep from
being burled alive beneath a tidal
wave of calendars. It's not llks that
any more.
Wa can wall remember when our
favorite railroad had a calender tor
every month of the year. They were
of a sufficient area to cover the north
aid of modest barn. It waa tacked
up by two members of the aection
crew, with the day ticket aent auper

VIce-PreMdent of CMe-.drs would
ahow up from Frisco, throw a handful
of Havanaa on the desk, ' with his

custom the Depression has smacked

I should pay no particular atten
tion to this inquiry were It not for
the fact that I have promoted dia
thermy, both medical and surgical,
with all the enthusiasm the method
of treatment deserves. Now I wish
to warn all readers against Vie mach
inations of charlatans who seek to
exploit credulous laymen on the
strength of the good name I have
given this method of treatment. In
many Instances the application of
diathermy by the physician will give
grateful relief to pain and soreness
In such cases as the correspondent
mentions, but do not believe that
diathermy can cure such Illnesses;
If it is used at all It Is but a minor
part of the treatment required to
bring about recovery.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Acne and X-rays
In your helpful monograph on
"Blackheads and Pimples" you men
tion the value of X-ray treatments
in many cases. Must one go to a
hospital for such treatments 8. R.
Answer. No, your physician should
give such treatment. One skin spe
cialist, summarizing his experience,
says "My statistics show that X-rays
will permanently cure 87 per cent
of unaelected cases (of acne) in four
months or less without Injury to the
skin. Without X-rays the percent
age of cures drops below 00."
Freedom of the Hips
In enjoy the freedom and ease that
comes with discarding of restricting
garments, especially girdles and cor
sets. But many friends tell me my
figure will spread and become un
gainly about the hips If I go with
out adequate support. (Mrs. O. K.)
Ana. By omitting the artificial
supports you train your own muscles
to support you, and nothing neater
or more graceful In the way of gir
dle, corset or corselet has been dis
covered. Well trained muscles keep
the figure trim and resilient. T.he
way to do is omit the support a
little longer each day of the week,
until you feel comfortable without
it at all times.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AN AIRPLANE, apparently out of
control, narrowly misses Buck
ingham palace, the residence of the
king and queen of England.
Think what a aensatlon It would
have oaused If the plane had crashed
into tha palace, KILLING the king
and queen.
Every newspsper in tha world
would have used up all Ita black
type (or headlines, and the air would
fairly have crackled with radio mes
sages. YET tha actual loss to tha world
through the death of the king
and queen of England would be leas
thsn the loss by death of aome hard
working, hard-headed business msn
upon whose ability aa a good manager
the Joba of some half a hundred peo
ple depend.
AIRPLANES are' In the newa today.
Over tha clicking wires cornea
this paragraph: "Braving a raging
storm to get the mails through, two
planes of the Transcontinental and
Western Air Lines crashed In the
snow-swept Allegheny mountains In
Pennsylvania today, the pllota 'bail
ing out' safely."
"Balling out," aa of course you
know, means Jumping out with
parachute: which takes nerve and
quick thinking.
Those without nerve and quick
thinking don't last long as pllota.
- -
NT
OTB that these plsnes braved
raging storm to GET THE
MAILS THROUGH.
What a lot of heroism hsa been
displayed In this country In the past
couple of hundred yeara In getting
the malla through I If tha complete
story of the heroism of the carriers
of the mall could be told, It would
be one of the most fascinating tales
ever written.
THESE pilots braved a raging storm
to est the mails through. That
la nothing new In the annals of the
postal service.
If you have crossed 'the wind-swept
McKenzle pasa, which threads Its way
across the. Cascades over stark, bare
lava fields, around the feet of great
white snow peaks, you must have j
noted a modest little monument be
side the road up on tha summit.
It marks the apot where Tom Craig,
CARRIER OP THE MAIL, gave up his
life.
IT WAS Tom Craig's business to
carry the mall across the moun
tains, In winter, on foot, and he faced
a raging storm back in his day Just
as unhesitatingly as these pilots who
crashed In Pennsylvania.
THESE plsnes that crashed were
brought down by Ice crusting on
-
the wings under a falling tempera
ture one of the ever-present hazards
of winter flying.
When dene Burford, one of the
pilots, trusting to his parachute, went
over the side, he gathered In his arms
all the mall he could hold and Jump
ed wltb It. When he landed, Ms
first act waa to deliver It to the
nearest postofflce.
The politicians, who run the post-
office department aren't always a par
ticularly edifying apectacle, but the
men who do the actual Job of carry
ing the malla are a grand lot and
alwaya have been.

To the Editor:
Your editorial, In your Sunday

back of and honor the new Knox
liquor control law expresses good
citizenship principles. If the press

and keep everlastingly at It what a

have been on the enforcement of tha

Oh I Xmas now will soon arrive,
And all the Medford stores will thrive
As wo buy toys for every kid,
Then cry: Now see what Ssnta dldl
And even tightwads, like myself,
Will lay their meanness on the ahelf
And wltb glad smiles that are sublime
Step tn the stores and spend a dime.
As happy aonga. and ringing bells,
Vie with the noise of college yells.
With calm content we'll hit the hay.
And snore another night away.
