Fire in a little Maine town brought a tragic climax to another of those pathetic marathon da noes, Some thing unpleasant has happened in nearly all of them, although usually the major trouble has been financial, not Infrequently caused by disappear ance of the promoter, while footsore Tlrtors and vanquished alike were left sunk In misery and disappointment. The deaths at Hampden take on peculiar sadness under the circum stances. Here was an Isolated New England Tillage, with few amunementa at best and already ahut in by winter, to which the contest offered a glorious srap from drab Uvea that promised little of glamour or even such fame as a rural couple might achieve in one of these shuffling matches, Por five weeks the contestants had had to right for a doubtful privilege, gaining reluctant consent from the town selectmen and, later, being forced to impend activities on Sun days. Then came the bllrmrd, the fire and the tragedies. Marathon dancing is another- of those things we blame on the war, since It started shortly after the world conflict. Its reason for exist ence being the occupation and ex citement It afforded for certain young people who could do almost nothing else. Rven the 7-day bicycle races required trained athletes, but the marathon danoe was open to any youth who thought he could keep time to music and any girl who had vague ambitions and a flimsy party Ureas. Hampden, Me., probably has en the last one. - (New Orleans flcayune-Timea), Vw MSMSSSJ The Knox Law Decision "PHE upholding of the Knox Liquor Control bill, is in accord- ance with common sense. Not only the intent of the legislature,' but the desire of the jeople of the state, was for an entirely new deal in the matter of liquor regulation. The measure provided that all existing statutes contrary to its provisions, should, with the bill's enactment, be repealed. The argument that the home repealed by legislative enactment, but had to await a vote of the people, may have had some legalistic basis, but to follow such a line of reasoning would have thrown the entire liquor problem into confusion worse confounded, from which it would have taken the people of the state months to extricate them selves. Under such circumstances the rule of reason should prevail. What the people want, and what is plainly in the interest of the publio welfare should be given first consideration, and this was undoubtedly the basis of Judge Lewelling's decision, altho technically, Btate control over the police power, was the koynote of his ruling. TPHE case will now be taken to the state supreme court, with more money spent and more time wasted. Undoubtedly the samo considerations which led the circuit court to uph61d the new law, will lead the state supreme court, to the same decision. Give the new law a fair trial, that is the common sense of the situation. But politicians who want to get in the limelight, and lawyers who want to get big fees, are seldom concerned with common sense, or whether the net results of their efforts arc in harmony with or contrary to, the public welfare. Is the King Fish Hooked? SO Huey Long the "King Fish", bows to defeat in New Or leans. THAT'S GOOD. As far as we can recall it's the first direct reverse he has suffered, in his home state, since his table poundings and dema gogic ravings got him a seat in the senate. But those who think this will quiet Huey, or disconcert him in the least, don't know the man. From the standpoint of prac tical politics he is the unainkable type. Everything that happens is grist for his mill. If he wins it's the triumph of the common people over the vested interests; if he loses, the forces of righteousness and truth, have been done in by corruption and graft. He has that one formula, and as long as his voice holds out, that is all he needs. IIUET LONG is the opportunist par excellence. He is for anything that promises to bring him votes. Nominally a Democrat, he really cares no more for the Democratic party than he does for the Republican. He cares for nothing but HIMSELF 1 He has one sure fire slogan "soak the rich let's have a redistribution of wealth I" Anyone who questions the popularity of that slogan, knows nothing about the present psychology of the American people. In a crude way in fact it is the basis of tho New Deal. That figuratively speaking the rich ARE to be soaked, and there IS to be a redistribution of wealth in this country, no thoughtful person can deny. But not in the way the Kingfish proposes. It is to be a gradual not an immediate process; it is to be a matter of evolu tion, not revolution. The Morgan and Rockefeller fortunes aro NOT going to be confiscated and passed around; but the condi tions that made possible the amassing of auch fortunes are going to disappear, and there is going to be a fairer and better deal, for the average man, for the rank and file. IF the latter outcome were really Huey Long's purpose, if he l-Aalli, Vinnaa. I Vim w-,l... - I. - 'Li 11 1 "v..o .v.,.,,, i.uiiirnb in mo ii uii-niciiivus lie rnigni.

He is merely a. demagogue, a self seeker, an exhibitionist. He is a showman, trying to get the suckers into the show, and the only show is Huey. So as in public life there is no substitute for honestv and sincerity at least none in the have his little skyrocket ascension, his final burst, and then down he will come.

The large black let ters are bound to catch the eye of the busy phys ician as he runs over the pages of his medical Jour nal to see If there's anything new In doctor ing. If the wea ther Is bad. he may even stop to see what about Colds and Influ ents a. A n d by gosh ' there Is lot about the subject. "To help resistance to winter ailment," the an nouncement goes on In slightly smaller type, "utilize the strengthen ing qualities, the ready assimlabUlty and the convenience of . . ." Never mind the name of the nos trum, Suffice to eay It purport to contain certain elements of jnillc and certain elements of cereals. In fact it Is made from a mixture of elements from these two common foods. With a good stretch of Imagina tion and a liberal allowance for face tlousness one might say all that of a dish of cracked wneat and a glass of milk. But wheat and milk do not come In funny packagea and they cost only what they are worth as good foods and there la no mystery about them, so the chances are people would laugh at you for & quetrr nut If you did aerlously urge wheat and milk to help build resistance to winter ail ments. And oddly enough the farm era who raise wheat and the dairy men who raise milk would be the first to laugh at such a suggestion. They always are. It must be the climate. No physician or scientist can ex plain what "resistance to winter ail ments' means or consists of. No one can define 'resistance" as distin guished from the positive state which science recognizes -as Immunity. But such minor considerations do not de ter the credulous doctor from pre scribing the most ettravagsnt nos trums; he hss the feeling that be cause these exquisitely packaged foods and medicines are "accepted" by the council on something or other In the national 'medical organization, that takes the curse off from the habit of prescribing the nostrums. The cheap ballyhoo to the dumb doctors goes on to mention that the special prooess of making the stuff from milk and cereal conserves In "high degree" some of the vltasnlna present In milk and cereal. The Im plication ot this, of course. Is that , NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, Jan. 34. New York's most tireless party attender Is doubt less Maury H. B. Paul, whose nom de fantssle over so ciety columns Is Cholly Knicker bocker. A bound ing, cherubic bachelor, he might be Stephen Leacock's horse man who vaulted hla mount and rode off In all di rect lona. He la smong the few society editors to grace th Social Regis ter, and although his pen upon occasions Is tipped with vitriol, he rarely offenda hie silky audience. It Is Ukely many years slnoe he haa been out after dark without high hat and other com plement of full evening dress. In his lncesseant glddysp he may attend a flock ot cocktail partlea In an afternoon, drop In at a dozen dinner partlea that same night and be at' the finish of several after theater triumphs of clvlllzstlon. These Intrusions do not prevent him from turning out several columns dally and a few pagea Sunday. Paul live with his mother In the Sutton Place section and Journey to th Rlvlera and Palm Beach with sea sons. Instead of beoomlng wan, he growa ruddier, appearing alwaya in a well-barbered glow of good health. And fw writing men get so much fun out -of their chor. Edward Hope Coffey, who deserted column I ng to become a working ex patriate along the Cote d Azur, re turned to town to find his novel. "Sh Love Me Not," drematlzed into Broadway's most successful comedy. Coffey Is one of the bright young men out of Bruce Barton's advertis ing agency who turned to colVmnlng under the paeudonym sf Edward Hope, then tackled the magaalni-s and. like George Arte at S8 finds him self In position to retlr If he chooses.

The truth Is thst It Is Inferior to the milk snd cereal from which It Is made. But who would over aus pect auch a thing, from the Impos ing language In which the appeal to the half-baked doctor Is couched? The hard-hearted citizen needs to be reassured from time to time that natural foods, meats, fish, fowl, game, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, cereals, in their natural Btate, that Is, fresh and undoctored or unrefined, In short foods eaten as they grow and not msnufectured things, provide all the vitamins, mineral elements, nourish ment, health and strength the body needs. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Fairy Story Pores. You seem to be the only doctor who KNOWS there are no pores in the skin. Attached are cllpplns show ing statements of three noted med ical authorities who evidently Im agine the human skin still has pores. P. L. T. Answer Why not arranga a debate between any dotcor or Individual of scientific standing who believes the skin has pores and absorbs things, and myself, the proceeds to go to some worthy charity? I'd gladly contribute my part, and also give my precious skin to any scientifically controlled test the opponents might care to make, to show whether the skin will absorb anything.

You betray your Ignorance right along by suggesting diets that In clude acids and starches tiut prob ably your Intent la to create a little business for your masters, the aggre gation of serum shooters known as the American Medical association . . . R. P. O. Answer You are good, brother, and I wish I could print your letter in full. Also. I'd be grsteful for a ref erence to any authoritative work on physiology which supports the funny notion that acids should not be taken In the eame meal with starchea. Acids rather naturally aid the digestion of starches. For Instance, in his excel lent little book "What We Eat and What Happens to It" (Harpers) Prof. Philip B. Hawk says: "We have found that oatmeal and cream, for example, are di gested rather more satisfactorily If grapefruit preparea the stom ach for their reception." (Copyright, 1934, John P. Dllle Co.)

He performed It with such nohchslance It appeared hla easiest trick. Yet It was practiced tor nearly a year be fore the publlo saw It.

To the Editor: In reading over your editorial re gard. n(t the action of corigwa on the gag rule. It occurred to ua that you might be able to enlighten ua a little on a matter that haa been pua T.llng ua lately. We have been reading and hearing a lot about thta hog reducing pro gram that is being worked out lor this aectlon. And we can't aee why w ahould be In for reducing our hog population. For we noticed a feature ad In Priday'a paper, telling the world that one of the leading merchanta of Med ford. who bellevea In the alogan "That by Medford Trade la Medford Made." haa aold literally tona of eaatern bacon tn Juat a few montha' time. And we talked with a truck owner a while bark, who we know la re liable, that In forma ua he la hauling from one to two truck load of Swift Co'a lard from Portland to Med ford each week. Now would you plcane tell ua Just what la ncrewy' herer Can It be that In the face of this '. nurplua our meat dloeera are actually going clear back ea.t for , bacbQ bi. our own farmers are walking the sole leather off their shoes trying to dispose of a few hogs that they may help Med ford's trade a little? Or u It possible that what hogs we raise here are not fit for con sumption? If this la the case, we had better call the Chamber of Commerce's at tention to It, and tell them to atop telling the world this Is a "Great Country," For If they get people to come out here, they will have to send clear back to the corn belt for any bacon that la fit to eat, and have their lard shipped down from Port land. We believe that Instead of trying to reduce the hog population, we should be more concerned In reduc ing the outside Importations of product that we have right here at home. For you know "That by Medford Trade la Medford Made" ahould go for the whole hog, not just the spare ribs and sausage. ' JOHN T. NEALON. Central Point, January 21. All Pry or All WetT To the Editor: The 16th amendment la gone and because of that everybody seems to think our country Is all wet. This la not true. There are still 35 states In which it la Illegal to transport or sell Intoxicants., Prohibition was vot ed in by an overwhelming majority It was legally repealed by less than 24 per cent of the qualified voters of the country. At the opening of congress the other day the following Incidents oc curred as related by one who was there. "Just before President Roosevelt appeared before congress, the clerk of the house of representatives read among official communications to the speaker of the house, the letter of official ratification of the repeal of the 18th amendment by the state of Utah, which ended national prohi bition. The only applause on the Republican side was by Congressman Mrs. Flore no P. Kahn of San Fran cisco, California, and on the Demo cratic aide by three members. The silence of the mass' of the crowded house of representatives was elo quent. "Shortly after this President Roose velt appeared to deliver his message In person before a Joint session of both houses. He was given a tremen dous ovation as he came up the ramp to the rostrum on the arm of his son James. As he came to the last? quar ter of his message, which had been interrupted at times by general ap plause, these words: 'the adoption of the 2Jst amendment ahould give ma terial aid in the elimination of those new forms of crime which came from Illegal liquor traffic Then he paused. But the applause was so paltry as apparently to embarrass the president and he hastened on. Evidently Amur lea was changing her mind. We asked a Democratic senator who voted for repeal what he thought of that reception. He said 'I noticed it. The membership of congress Is In confusion as to what they should do about the liquor problem. The peo ple are changing.' A Republican dry senator said, 'the anti-liquor senti ment la turning tn a reverse tide. ' If the states were to vote today scarcely a dozen would vote for repeal." A. W. SHEPHERD.

It's all right, you see, for the government to refuse to pay Its debts to the taxpayers of the United States, but when It reduces wages of Its own employee, that's another matter en tirely. GANGSTER news is OUT, and news of kldnaplngs, actual and pro jected, fills the front pages. The fate of the St. Paul banker Wiho was kldnsped the other day Is still unknown, and now the public Is wondering what la GOINO to hap pen to Doris Duke, tobacco heiress, whose fortune la estimated at more than 150,000,000, and who received a threatening letter the other day. She Is In seclusion at her palatial home In Somerville, N. J., guarded by an extra detail of private detect ives. IT'S nice, of course, to have fifty million dollars, but In Viese daya when criminals are turning from the old rackets and developing new ones to take their place ownership of so much money has Its troubles along with its satisfactions.

The chances are "e shall bear down Lnore and more In the future on In heritance taiea, which will leave less of our great fortunes for second and third generation Idlers to play with. GREAT fortunes, which pass down from generation to generation create a hereditary leisure class, and there are mony who Insist that a hereditary leisure class, with money to spend without being bothered with MAKING It, Is necessary to con tinue sound business. A lot of us, however, will hold to the old notion that IX this country REMAINS a nation of workers, with no idler class, It will be far better off In Vie long run.
