Not until times are better. It would take 800 tons 01 submarine, the price Is 13000 a ton. I'd welcome an opportunity to try. Wllklns Is now In the south wltfi Ellsworth. That Is all I have heard." It was Sir Hubert Wllklns' subma rlne In which the trip to the North Pole was attempted under the Ice by Danenhower. Ellsworth was also on the expedition. The boat lost Its diving rudders and the Nautilus flop, ped. No one was hurt but the trip was ended. 'Jhrllllng Experience "It was by far the most thrilling experience of my naval career." the commander declared. During the world war, Commander Danenhower was a member of Frank lin D. Roosevelt's salvaging crew. The president of the United States was then assistant secretary of the navy and organized the first salvaging crew In American hlsUViy. Comman der Danenhower was wreck-master of the division. He was In charge of the Favorite, based at Brest, and when he recently came through the Pan ama canal, sailing from France to the Pacific coast, he saw her, still in good conditions, now In the light house service. Before most people knew .that there were submarines, Commander Dan enhower was giving all his time to the under-water boats, he admitted yesterday. He began with them In 1909. Salvaging work was similar to submarine duty, so one brought about the other. Asked about deep sea diving, the visitor from France de scribed It as "the hardest work In the world." He added that he had only dived for Inspection, and then spoke a good word for Frank Crllley. "than whom there Is none better." He was master diver on the Nautilus and commands that title any place where diving is done. Americans Leaving France Speaking of conditions In France, Commander Danenhower stated that the French are now living In great fear that their country will go off ttie gold standard. American Incomes have already been cut 40 per cent In FsrH, and many of the visitors are moving homeward. In 1028, when the value of the franc was lowered, many undesirable results were real lied. "Paris Is now the most expen sive city in the world In which to live, and If the franc were devalued It would be much worse." Packards are cheaper than Fords In Paris. Gasoline Is priced high and saturated with alcohol to use up France's excess supply. Lotteries are recognised as a form of revenue and there Is very little unemployment, and practically no drunkenness, al though the liquor traffic la wide open, the commander said yesterday, summarising general conditions over there. The Packard costs less be cause It Is more expensive to oper ate and few people want It. Licenses are collected according to horsepower. 'On a Packard they amount to 70 three times a year. Can Handle Liquor One may alt down, stand up, go to t,he cafe or the saloon to drink liquor, any time of the day or night. "There are no closing hours, but the French have different drinking hab its, wine and mild liquors: that's why you don't see drunkenness." Repeal of prohtbtilon here has been an incentive for renewal of much trade with France and rfio Is welcom ing the opportunity to export her wines, which "are undoubtedly good." The Wisconsin, upon which Com mander Danenhower and family had passage. Is returning to Franco from this coast loaded with wheat, frozen fish, and apples, gathered up In Washington and Oregon, he said yes terday. Rescue Aids Perfected After service In the world war, ' Commander Danenhower was associ ated with the Simon Lake Torpedo company, building for the United States and Russia. After the loss of the B-4 he did much Interesting ex perimental work for the government, seeking new rescue, principles for per sons trapped In submarines. A great deal, he explained, hna now been ac complished along that line. The thing Commander Danenhower la most Interested In now, however, he stated yesterday. Is salvaging oper ations, especially those of the Ital ians, who have gone further In this direction than any other nationality. Asked yesterday about his own na tionality, while the topic waa -.ip, Commander Danenhower stated that he waa born In Maryland and raised In Oswego, N. T., and that he felt "right homey" when he came through Oswego. Ore., en route to Medford. Following a fortnight here, the Danenhower will continue to San Diego, then by motor to New York. While here they are visiting the Jus. H. Owens, Mrs. Danenhower being Mrs. Owen's daughter.

"Its price is so small and its value is so great that it simply doesn't pay to be without it" Saving strength is not a luxury. It's the thrifty thing to do, in household or business. An old subscriber tells us, who discontinued her telephone In recent months and now is ordering her service restored, "I found that my telephone saved strength and time more than 1 had ever dreamed, and more nickels, dimes and quarters thun its monthly service costs."

There are many persons pf standing in Wash ington who hold the view that the vast governmental expenditure pro gram will take us to an almost cer tain collapse. They believe such experndltures are beyond what a business man calls "a good business risk." They believe that the expenditures cannot be stopped and that the only conclusion can be bankruptcy of the treasury. Seen As Political T.helr view is not political, but businesslike. They, are Judging the financial condition of the government as they would Judge the financial condition of their own business. There are several essential differ ences. For one thing the treasury of the United States can hardly go bankrupt. With its existing unusual powers over money, It could certainly continue the existing rate of expendi ture for an Indefinite period before It was faced with the necessity of Issuing greenbacks. No business -house has the means to sustain Its credit by such devices as the government Is even now employing. There Is another angle .which Is more Important. All economists be lieve better business la coming. (They are so unanimous that their unanim ity seems to be the only Just cause for suspicion about their Judgment). Expenditures likewise help to make better business. Priming Business Pump Now If they "prime toe pump" (the phrase Is Mr. Roosevelt's) and help start a normal flow of business, federal revenues will jump under ex isting tax rates so fast that the pres ident should be able to pull. himself out of his deficit hole without diffl cUty. But If we do not have better busi ness, the need for expenditures will Increase Instead of decreasing, and revenues will decrease Instead of In creasing. It Is a gamble and the odds seem to be a little better t,han even that Mr. Roosevelt will succeed.

Turner, who holds the bulk of stock In the Portland baseball club of the Pacific Coast league, and was once a baseball scout for the Phila delphia Athletics, has assured the Associated Press, In response to a point-blank question, that he takes .hla candidacy "seriously. He will file for the Republican nomination In the the May primary, he declared. Meanwhile, he will relinquish In no way his active control of the Portland Beavers.
