Hal
CO it's "30" for Hal Hosg. No
fight for life, than this veteran Oregon newspaper man,
who left his copy desk on the Oregon City Enterprise to become
secretary of state under the late Governor Patterson.
' A year before his death he was critically ill, and several
years before that, he was a very sick man. Had he followed the
advice of friends and family, at that time, and taken to his bed,
he might be alive today.
But while he looked like some sort of pre-Raphaelttic ghost,
and presented wan and smiling countenace to the world, there
was not only plenty of fire and iron within, but there was a
spirit of fight and devotion to public duty, that was literally
fanatical in quality.
He also bad, as do so many victims of tuberculosis, (it ap
pears to be a fundamental characteristic of the disease) an
'unfailing spirit of optimism a
things looked they would come out somehow all right in the end.
So he stuck to bis job, fought for what he believed to be
right, regardless of the. odds against him, until he literally
dropped in his tracks, had to be carried out, and wag taken
to an Eastern Oregon sanitarium. But then it was too late,
and for many months, the final summons, were only a question
of time.
Too bad! The death of Hal Hoss is a loss to the newspaper
profession of Oregon, and a great loss to the state. He was a
capable journalist, an efficient secretary of state, a most lovable
and considerate friend.
The Tuberculosis Toll
NLT a short time ago, the Christmas Seal sale was eonclud
ed, the proceeds of which go to fight this dread disease of
tuberculosis.
The death of .Hal Hoss again calls attention to the public
and human need of such a fund how necessary it is that this
fight should not only go on, but should, from the standpoint of
the publio welfare, receive more general and generous support.
Like many other diseases tuberculosis is not difficult to
prevent, not difficult to control in its early stages, but once
deeply entrenched and allowed to advance, the fatality percent
age is simply appalling. '
This fun4 is devoted largely to prevention and facilitating
discovery of the disease, so prompt treatment can start, the
two methods of approach, which alone can place tuberculosis
in tho same category as smallpox and diptheria once greatly
dreaded, but now far down in th,list of death causes.
"We hope that when another Christmas comes around, the
death of Hal Hoss,r-stricken down in what should be the prime
of life may be the cause of more people, giving more money,
to support and carry on the war against this terrible disease.
, Mrs. Greenway 's Debut
XITHILE on this subjeot, which we admit isn't pleasant, but
we feel IS, important we are surprised that the maiden
speech of Mrs. Greenway of Arizona in the House of Bepresenta-
tives on January 31st, did not receive more general notice in
the press.
Mrs. Greenway, as everyone knows, is not only a close friend
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, but one of the latter's most
intimate ones. Tet her debut as a "congresswoman" was
marked by one of the most "SCATHING indiotments of the
administration's "ceonomy Jill" that we have accn.
Here is, her picture, for example, of "WHAT this economy
drive haB done to the war veterans'suffering from tuberculosis,
in her own state i
I want to give you a description of my home. We have two -enormous
hospitals. In these hospitals In 1034 were put to bed
hundreds of lit men on the presumption that they might poa
albly become 111 through some service connection. Now, friends,
think of this: Those men were not asked to prove aervlce con- '
section; thoee men possibly were not service connected It we
are going to be honest with ourselves: and there la a very big
school In this country that feela that those people never should
have been put In thoaa beda and cared for at the expense of
Uncle Sam. But those people were put In thoae beda with
advanced case of tuberculosis, and their families were given
180, 150, 140 a month to live on In 1034. Thoee people have lain
In thoae beda, presumably put there by a group of government
offlclala, oureelvea, put there and told that they would be cared
for while their families paid St, 5, and 810 a month on little
ahacka which they hoped ultimately to own and live In.
Today when you go through these hospitals In my state,
hospitals built with federal funds, magnificent, adequate hospi
tals, you will find that whole wlnga are empty and those men
I aaw there theae years wasting away, who lost by the Economy
Act that pittance upon which their families lived while they
died, thoee men got up and asked for their clothes at a time
When they had temperatures ot 100, 101, or more or leaa. 111,
cadaveroua. with hectic spots In their cheeks; and thoee people
today are walking the streets of my home state begging for work
that they may support their wives and their children tor whom
we as a government have been caring for for 8 years.
And now the Issue In regard to the presumptive caeea, which
Include the Spanleh war veterans, la: Do you. aa a body, mean to
repudiate yourselves aa of former yearaf Do you feel that you
can take dying human beings and when I aay dying I pray
that none of you may know what It la to die with tuberculosis:
It la an hour-to-hour angutah that cannot be described do you
Intend to practice economy on bed-ridden human beings thla
body of congress put to bed In 1034 and told to build up their
Uvea accordingly?
Mr. Chairman, again let me aay thla Is not sentiment: this
la the human equation for which government was made. I
beg ot you on both aldea ot the House to lay down political
lines and now or never do for these human beings whose lives
you took whst you said you would do for them in 1334.
I hope that by standing before you for the first time In
matter so vital to me, so vital to my state, that you will not
misunderstand me. I am a Democrat anxious to make tha
Democratic administration successful. I know that In tha
weeping efforts ot last year some things had to be done in
advisedly in part. I beg thoae ot you who car for thla ad
ministration and the responsibility that It haa undertaken to
square your shoulder along with your Republican colleaguea
who voted for the Economy Act all of us and aay: "In major
part our economies are right, but In some ot their details they
are wrong."
To undo In one sweeping act the results of 16 years ot
Intricate and painstaking legislation la Impracticable and unjust
to tha humans Involved. (Applause.)

BUM GOES THE OLD BLUNDERBUSS.
YEAR AFTER YEAR.
Sometimes I wonder If the overedu-
cated young doctor today are not
aa gullible aa were the crudely trained
practitioner of the nineteenth cen-
wiyl tury. When I wia
try doctor the
large drug and
chemical manu
facturers e n t
their repreaenta
tlves out every
spring to Intro
duce to the doc
tors the very lat
est fancy concoc
tion for cough.
The essential for
mula was the
sune year after year, a fearsome
blunderbuss mixture, but some new
wrinkle In the style of packing or the
color and flavor of the medicine in
variably arrived In March. It was like
the annual models In automobiles.
Today I received a circular letter
from a large drug manufacturer who
supplies physicians. I am advised that
colds, coughs and other respiratory
Ills begin with the season of months
that have "R" In their names. At
that, wouldn't It be fine if respiratory
ills did not occur in the months when
oysters are out of season! The manu
facturer' plea to the Incompetents
In the profession goes on to say that
during the season for respiratory dis
eases So-and-so's Compound with
This and That serves a double pur
pose, protective as well as curative.
"The product of cod liver oil, fresh
liver, spleen, pancreas, predlgested and
made easily assimilable, with hypo
phosphltea and Iron peptonates, tend
to fortify the organism for self-dd-fense
against respiratory infections,
while This and That act specifically
on the disease Itself."
There you have a typical specimen
of the specious and utterly false rea
soning on which many physicians,
presumably with scientific education,
base their therapeutics or art of treat
ment. Theoretically cod liver oil, the
crude fresh undoctored oil and not
any' "product" or derivative, 'may help
a child or even an adult to develop
a normal degree of Immunity against
respiratory infections. That Is a theory
only, and has by no means been tested
out in experience. All the rest of the
plausible argument this medicine ven
dor sets forth In behalf of his ridic
ulous blunderbuss nostrum for the
quack doctor trade Is sheer hokum. !

Cod Liver Oil
X take cod liver oil as a protection
against colds and sinusitis. However,
I take only a teaspoonful once or

larger amounts? Are cod liver oil tab

(B. T.)
Answer There Is some reason to be
lieve that Vitamin A and Vitamin P,
of which cod liver or halibut liver oil
Is a good source, may help to build up
or maintain a normal degree of Im
munity against upper respiratory in

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
I'VE GAINED four pounds In the
1 last month, and haven't eaten
any more ' than usual, either," ft
friend said to this writer yesterday.
"Maybe lt'a the result of ft calmer
state of mind' he added.
IT IS, In all probability.
Contented cows, the advertise
ment tella ua, you know, give more
and BETTER milk.
f N COUNTING the cost of these four
1 years of depression which now,
we all believe, la coming to an end
we can't possibly overlook the loss
of peace of mind by millions of hu
man beings.
e-4
llHAT causes booms?
ft What causes the depressions
that Inevitably follow booms?
You have doubtless asked yourself
these questions hundreds of times
You have heard others ask them other
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
times.
Have you ever found a satisfac
tory answer?
HOW'S this forananswer:
A STATE OF MIND.
A BOOM Is rather clearly ft state
of mind.
People get to thinking that wages
and prices and profits will keep on
going Up INDEFINITELY. So they
lose their natural caution and plunge
unduly.
Because money Is so easy to get,
they go Into debt recklessly.
THE beginning of a depression Isn't
due primarily to a state of mind.
When you eat too much, especially
of rlcb things, you have a stomach
ache mind or no mind. When you
live beyond your means you get Into
trouble. That's Just plain cause and
effect.
But In Its later stages a depres
sion really Is due pretty largely to a
state of mind. People lose confi
dence In everything, and because or
thla loss of confidence recovery is
delayed.
Loss of confidence Is quite plainly
a atate of mind.
HERE la an Interesting thought: .
ir we could all learn to THINK
STRAIGHT all the time, we might be
able to do away entirely with these
terrible cycles that we call depres
sions. ANOTHER question:
What makes business good?
Is It QUANTITY of money?
CLEARLY not. ,
Back In 1928 and 1029, when
business was undoubtedly exceed
ingly good, the total of money out
standing was ft little In excess of five
billion dollars.
Last March, when business was
probably at the lowest ebb In the
country's history, the total of money
outstanding was In excess of SEVEN
billions.
IT ISN'T quantity of money that
makes business good.
What makes business good Is the
SPEED with which money moves.
WHAT causes money to. move
speedily?
Why, CONFIDENCE, of course. If
you have confidence that you can
get more, you spend freely the money
that Is In your pocket. If you LACK
confidence, you hold onto the money
that la in your pocket.
It Is upending, not hoarding, that
makes business good.
.. -
BUT spend wisely not recklessly.
Spend, for example, for life In
surance, and for savings accounts,
along with a fair share of the com
forts and the luxuries of life.
Spending for life Insurance policies
and for savings accounts, you know,
helps to make business good, Just
the same as spending for clothes and
automobiles and entertainment, for
It Is such things as life .Insurance
policies and savings accounts that
supply the capital necessary for the
expansion of business In a growing
country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. (AP) How
Representative Martin (D., Ore.) clip
ped over the resurvey of the Snake
river In Washington and Idaho on
the house rivers and harbors com
mittee was revealed today.
Last spring the committee turned
down Martin's proposal. Under the
rules the matter could have been re
fused consideration for three years.
but apparently committee members
who might have been Inclined to ob
ject forgot.
While winning the resurvey, which
will cover navigation. Irrigation, soli
erosion and power development, Gen
eral Martin was highly disappointed
that the committee refused to per
mit a change In the specifications of
the Bonneville dam, across the Co
lumbia river between Oregon and
Washington, to Include scalocks In
stead of barge locks.
Although the representative did not
discuss the matter, the two projects
are closely related as Improvement
of the Snake Is looked on as a step
toward navigation of the Columbia
and Snake rivers Into the rich wheat
growing region of the Inland empire.
Sealocks would permit the operation
of larger vessels from Portland and
other lower Columbia ports up the
rivers.
Reports from the committee room
said some eastern members became
indignant at the representative's re
quest for authorization of the sea
locks, one asking.
"What the do you fellows In
the Pacific northweat want to' do,
move the United States treasury out
there?"

AGGRESSIVE WAYS
Males Think Of Matrimony
As Jail Says Lady Psy-
chologist Be Women
First Is Candid Advice.
By Elenore Kellogg
NEW YORK, Feb. 6. (AP) Amer
ican women are too aggressive and
consequently have given men ft
"flight complex," Dr. Margaret Dan
iels, psychologist, asserted today.
"The aggressiveness of American
women makes men think of mar
riage as a Jail, with the wife as
the Jailer," said Dr. Daniels.
"It gives men ft flight complex
so that they can't see women In
any natural way but Imagine them
as harpies. And It takes away a large
part of a man's own zest and sense
of adventure, for It la still true that
what men get too easily becomes
of no value to them."
Have Inferiority Slant
Actually, Dr. Daniels eald, this
feminine aggressiveness is due to an
underlying sense or inferiority, "be
cause from her earliest childhood,
the American woman has lived In
a man's world,' with men's standards
the accepted ones."
"It Is ridiculous to. think Amer
ica Is a woman's country," she as
serted, "A woman can go Just ao
far and no further. American wo
men have an inch or two more lee
way than European women, but they
think they have a yard.'
The psychologist deplored the "pe
culiarly aggressive, mannish type of
woman who Is the woman execu
tive." "You see In America the unhap
plest, most restless, emptlst women
chasing all kinds of phantoms and
never finding real happiness," she
went on.
Be Women First
"Women will never be really In
telligent until they recognize them
selves as women first. All' this run
ning off the track, this aping men
and competing with them, is Just
an escape from facing their own
lives as women.
"We must re-establish the old
fashioned virtues where the woman
sits tight and the man does the woo
ing and providing. If women obeyed
their natural instincts, they would
be without effort what their grand
mothers were magnets for attracting
men."
