It ii not too late to buy Christ- mas seals and use them. There is no drive more in harmony with the true Christmas spirit than this Christmas seal drive, and it will not end until the first of tbe year. The receipts of this sale are devoted to stamping out and preventing that dread disease, tuberculosis. Every stamp sold means bringing more health and good cheer into homes, which without the work which these sales make possible, would be visited by suffering and tragedy. THUS far, the local seal sales have been highly successful in every direction, but one. Never before have more people in modest, even greatly reduced, circumstances, responded to the call. Dimes, quarters and half-dollars have poured in from all directions. The schools, publio and private, have a usual, come forward nobly. So have people in the rural districts. But to date the people in the cities, particularly right here in Medford, have not done so well. Many who have given liber ally in the past, have given nothing this year. Some have even failed either to send in a contribution or return the stamps delivered to them. . . . TPHE latter action, at least MUST BE an oversight. The lead ers of the local seal committee, are held responsible for these stamps and are financially liable for those not returned Certainly no one can wish to place such a financial burden upon the shoulders of these public spirited and hard working women, who are unselfishly devoting their time and energy to this worthy cause.' Of course those who can't buy the stamps this year, QAN'T No one is expected to do the impossible. . But everyone who has received the stamps, can at LEAST return them. And we believe there are very few who could not afford to include a dollar or a half dollar in the-envelope, when they do so. ' , The size of the contribution is not so important as that every one do his or her bit, and thus make the offering of Medford and Jackson County a truly representative one. ' So if you have stamps which were sent you, get busy at once, buy what you can buy, and what you CAN'T, return. In this way a great injustice to the members of the committee will be avoided; and Medford 'a reputation of always doing its .

One train, equally fast and luxurious, would certainly ans wer the publio demand. And all that money would be saved. The St. Paul and Northern Taoifio would divide the haul, and the Great Northern, as a de luxe passenger thoroughfare would bo eliminated. As an independent, the Great Northern wouldn't fancy that, but with the three roads consolidated there would be no ob jection. Unquestionably there, are great possibilities of materially bettering the railroad situation, in this direction. Aj every schoolboy knows, gassing with carbon monoxide, whether from a portable gas heater In bathroom or bedroom or from the exhaust of an automobile eng ine In a clove! garage or from leaky flue. Is lUe ly to overcome the victim so suddenly t h a t there la no time to escape or call for help. But the effects of pro longed exposure to air which ls only slightly con taminated by the deadly gas are not so well known. Chronic CO poisoning Is more com mon than one might think. In mod ern Ufa there are so many sources of such poisoning, aalde from those men tioned. In cities, deaths from carbon mon oxide exceed those from any ottvu poison. How much illness la due to mild chronic monoxide poisoning we can only conjecture, for doubtless most cases are not correctly diagnosed, the symptoms being a-crlbed to other causes. In the majority of Instances victims of chronic carbon monoxide poisoning do not consult a physician at all. They prefer to "try whatever nostrum or diet or suggestion seems to them to fit the requirements. A few of the many sources of mtld gassing: Policing traffic In canyons surrounded by night buildings. .Living In a house where any fuel ls burned with draft closed, or where there le any leak In the flue or chimney thru which gases may escape Into the house. Tailors using gas Irons wit1. leaky gas connections or faulty burn ers. Oarage employees shut in where engines are running. Women and chil dren living where artificial gas con nections Derm It leakage of gas. Per sons working or living where any kind of stove Iron becomes red hot. o: accumulations of soot become Incan descent: this latter condition occurs frequently tn gas water heaWs. Faulty heaters In closed automobiles. and the bad habit of driving with all windows closed, in cold weather. A child has relatively greater res piratory exchange than an adult and hence a child is more quickly over come, more sensitive to a small amount of the odorless poison in the air. A mouse or a canary Is so quick ly overcame that rescue crews in mines carry some such small animal , to warn them when the air ls dan-1 gerously polluted (by the after-damp! from the use of explosives.) Younp , tomato plants, and probably otlei plants, are very sensitive to email I proportions of CO in the atmosphere Gardners and florists know how dis astrous the exhaust gases from the j automobile are to plants. It la well to remember that carban monoxide is colorless, tastless and practically odorless. It burns with a pale blue flame. It poisons by com bining with the hemoglobin In the red blood corpusc.es in place of the oxygen the corpuscles should carry to the cells of the whole body. This com bination of CO-hemoglobin Is even more stable than the normal ogyg-r combination (O-hemoglobln) andttrv fact accounts for the deadlines .-' monoxide poisoning and the obst.v acy of after-effecu. Fortunately ? bon dioxide has nearly or quit r great an affinity for the hemoglo and hence the administration of ch bon dioxide gas mixed with air n. oxygen ls the best treatment to monoxide poisoning. In my opinion we should Include among sources of mild chronic carbon monoxide poisoning excessive smrk tng. Chemical tests ot blood havo proved that following amoklng of a few cigarettes, for example, there is a definite increase In the proportion of carbon monoxide In the blood.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS KKJHA May Cause Employment 1 1 Loss," we read In the headlines. The Willamette Valley Lumber com pany, of Dallas, ls contending, you see, that If It has to follow the code schedule of hours, the same as other plants, It will have to throw some rf its employees out of Jobs. TRUE enough, probably. But If It DOESN'T follow the code schedule of hours, and goes ahead and contributes Its share to over-production and consequent swamping of the market, SOMEBODY ELSE'S employees will lose their Job. The purpose of the production re strictions contained In the lumber code Is to bring about the greatest good to the greatest number. STUDENTS at WUlamette university, at Salem, vote ten to one in fa vor of dancing. But dune lng is forbid den by an official rule. So represen tatives of the student body are c meet in conference with the chair man of the board of trustees, which Is the author of the dancing ban, to see what can be done about It, , It seems to be quite an Issue down there, if one may Judge by the amount of space It has drawn In the news papers. HERE is a prediction: If the students succeed l.i bringing about removal of the ban, they won't be helf as keen about dancing as they are now. Human nature Ls human nature, and It has a lot of queer quirks. rE special session of the Oregon legislature passes a sales tax. which will undoubtedly be referended and voted on, In which event It will probably be beaten. A sales tax would lighten the load of the property tax payer, but those who DON'T pay property taxes but WOULD pay a sales tax are In the majority when It comes to voting, and people are slow about voting new taxes on THEMSELVES in order to lighten SOMEBODY ELSE'S taxes. More human nature. 4 THE sales tax idea ls unpopular m Oregon. Still, the income tax Idea was un popular In Oregon for many years, but finally prevailed, and now Its fairness ls generally admitted al though, of course, those who have to pay It complain, as people ALWAYS complain about taxes. This writer, who voted for and sup ported the Income tax seven times before It was finally accepted, ex pects to vote for and support tns sales tax. One can't always be on the popu lar side, you know. EVANWHILE, we hear from Wash ington that the idea of a federal sales tax, levied and collected at the source, as the gasoline tax Is levied and collected, Is gaining In favor. The government HAS TO HAVE more money, and a sales tax seems to be about the only way to get it. WHILE we are on the subject of the government's need for money, here are some Interesting figures: Twenty-five years ago, It cost about a haU billion dollars to run the fed eral government. It now coats around tnrm and a halt billions, and this Tear It will fill by about a billion dollars to collect enough In taxes to pay Its bills. That la to say, the DEFICIT Is no about twice what It used to cost to run the government. BEFORE the war,. the Internal deot of the federal government was about a billion dollars. It la now about TWENTY-THREE billions, and when the bond Issues authorized aa a part of the national recovery pro gram are all sold It will be about THIRTY billions. So, you see, if tho government of the United States ever manages to pay what.lt owea, It la going to HAVE to levy a lot of new taxea.

Rippling through the meadow, Dancing o'er the stones; 'Mong the rushes, by the bushes, Where the soft wind moans.

Tomorrow they'll leap on the track less deep Of the billowy, surging sea. Ah, when you reach the ocean, Will you stop awhile to sleep? No, Nol Like the sand on the ahlf lng strand You'll swell the briny deep. Dear frolicsome, restless brooklet, W,hen I no longer roam By your grassy aide In the eventide When I have wandered home.
