EN HOUTE LOS ANGELES, VIA THE OLD GREEN BUG,
Feb. 7. Hope Southern Oregon got some of the rain that fell
in Northern California todHy. It started to sprinkle when we
left about 8 a. m. but only half hcartedly until we reached
Shasta City. . The mountain was shrouded in an inky black
cloud from base to summit, then a terrific gale from the south
sprang up, and whiff, whoocy how it blew and how it poured!
In no time the little Sacramento was a dashing torrent, rocks
and gravel came sliding down from the canyon walls, and be
fore Redding was reached there were good sized lakeft in many
of the fields. The garage man at Redding said it was the first
hard rain in a long time but there -had been a shower the day
before. Hard to believe looking back at the Sacramento river,
full from bank to bank with turbulent water, red brick in color.
A young man walked up at Redding and asked if we weren't
from Medford. An answer in the affirmative brought the in
formation that the young man's name is Snider, M. H. S. '-'9,
who broke his foot when broad jumping at the fair grounds,
in a high school track meet some years ago. He started the
day before hitch hiking from Medford to Los Angeles where
he has a job in the radio department of some studio. Got a ride
to Weed, then to Redding where he spent the night, but in the
storm raging cars were few, and
Gladly gave him a lift, but he had to work for it. Drafted him
as chauffeur, and as the windshield wiper went on a strike, the
top leaked like a sieve, and Snider didn't bring his umbrella.
He qan qualify for U-boat service in the next war even though
his busted foot kept him out of the last one.
So dark we had to have lights at four in the afternoon, and
had the car skidded from the pavement it would have promptly
disappeared in the slimy ooze that lined it. At the very' worst
of it, near Williams, what should loom out of the clouds directly
to our right but a huge monoplane, flying low, just grazing the
tree tops, Snider who like most yoting men is something of
an aviator said he was sure it was the regular coast passenger
plane on the Medford run. It disappeared as suddenly as it
had come, in the rain and fog and mist. Bought a Call Extra
as soon as we struck the Berkeley Ferry and was relieved to j
see it was for the noting in France, not another airplane trag
edy. Hope to learn soon, what the plane was, and what became
of it. Perhaps it came down to get its bearings and then shot
I up above the storm. Here's hoping!

THE ISSIIMOI.S CALORIES ARE
When X recall the shock 1 suffered
When my, as I fondly thought, Incip!
ent bald spot was picked out of a
of a bald head. I
can sympathize
with the girls who
discover all of a
sudden that they
have grown fat
But their sorrow
la tempered with
hope. Baldness la
com paratlvely a
sufficient cause
for deapair.
The mistake
thousands of girls
make when they perceive alas that
they have put on many pounds of
horrid superfluous flesh, is that they
decide to reduce Immediately, the
quicker the better, they think, and
plenty of merchants ere glad to cater
to that vain unreasonable hope. The
fat did not come suddenly; It cannot
be made to leave suddenly, without
grave risk to health, to say nothing
of good looks.
Too rapid reduction la certain to
leave more or less unsightly flabbl
ness If not actual wrinkles. Whereas
reduction that Is as gradual as was
the accumulation of the excess weight
may be achieved without Injury to
health or appearance, Indeed with
benefit to both. Besides, rarely has
any Individual the grim determlna
tlon necessary to stick to a severe
reduction regimen more than a day
or two. But most overweight aduUs
can follow a sane, moderate reduction
schedule for &s many weeks or months
as may be advisable. By a sane, mod
orate reduction regimen I mean re
ducing at the rate of not more than
two or three pounds a week or better
say six to eight pounds In a month.
As a matter of fact a person seldom
accumulates excess weight as fast as
that.
Before you "go on a diet" you
should study some practical arith
metic, learn to count calories at a
glance, much as a cafeteria cashUr
estimates the damage when you ex
hibit your trayful. Such a familiar
ity with calories Is especially helpful
In respect to the chief Items of the
diet, the everyday victuals which aw
mainly responsible for the dirty work.
The stereotyped tables showing how
many calories in the pound of this
and that are too formidable forothers
than experts. A more practical un
derstanding of the nutritive value of
the commot staples Is gained by
learning how many calories In ordin

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
T'HIS .headline flares across
the
front page
Cent."
"Dollar Cut 41 Per
A news paragraph below the head
line says: "President Roosevelt to
day revalued the gold dollar at 69.06
per cent of its former weight.'
The new gold dollar will contain
IS and five-twenty-firsts grains of
gold nine -tenths fine. The former
gold .dollar contained 36.8 grains.
ERE la what average, ordinary
people, such as you and I, want
to know:
"What does all this mean to me?"
And here la the answer, w.hlch is
substantially accurate so far as the
present and the Immediate future are
concerned :
NOTHING AT ALL.
IP YOU want to prove or disprove
that answer, go out and test it
for yourself.
Take a dollar and go up and down
the street and spend it for ordinary
necessities. Then compare what you
get In return for what your got In
return for a dollar similarly spent
a month ago.
You will find that TODAY you get
substantially the same amount in
return for your dollar that you got
a month ago.
Yet today your dollar contains only
59.06 per cent as much gold aa It
contained a month ago.
"W
ELL,
you say, puzzled, aa you
have a right to be, "what la
It all about, anyway? Why all this
thimblerigging with the gold content
of the dollar? What's all the shoot
ing about?"
Putting it as simply aa such a
subject can be put, which ISNT
very simple, the shooting Is princi
pally at foreign trade.
, Let's see If we can illustrate:
Suppose you're buying a shipload
of French wine. Remember, you
can't pay for this wine with dollars.
The French wine maker doesn't want
dollars, any more than you would
want francs is you sold some French
man a shipload of potatoes. You
wouldn't know what to do with the
francs, and .he wouldn't know what
to do with the dollars.
So, in order to pay for your wine.
you would have to buy francs. That
is, you would have to EXCHANGE
your dollars for francs.
That is exactly what foreign ex
change means Just changing . the
money of one country into the
money of another, so that people do
ing business between the two coun
tries can pay for w.hat they buy.
N
OW let's get down to the nub of
the question:
Before we went off the gold stand-
anjt yOU could buy about 2& and a
half franca for your dollar. Now,
with the gold dollar devalued, you
can buy only about 15 and a' balf
franca,
Obviously, you could buy MORE
WINE with 35 franca than you can
buy with 15.
The full value gold dollar, you see,
MADE IT EASIER to buy goods
abroad and Import them In compe-
tltlon with our own Industries, and I
MADE IT HARDER to sell our own !
goods abroad.
THAT'S aboutthe long and the
short of this whole gold-content
business, of which we have been
reading so much. " When you come
right down to It, it's really Just an
other sort of protective tariff.
CHANGING the gold content of a
country's money doesn't neces
sarily affect very much the INTER
NAL buying power of that money.
England, you know, went off the
gold standard long ago, thus reduc
ing the gold content of the pound.
But British prices didn't change
much. That Is to say. in terms of
what the British SOLD EACH OTH
ER, the value of the pound remained
about the same.
It was only In terms of what they
SOLD THE FOREIGNER, or bought
from him, that changed.
That la about what will happen in
our case.
SO DON'T get all hot and bothered
about the dollar In your pocket.
It's still a perfectly good dollar
worth, for your purposes, Just about
m-hst It was worth before Its spec
tacular devaluation.
You aren't buying wine in France,
you know, or pretrels In Germany,
or roast beef In England. You're
buying bread and buetter and meat
and clothes and house rent right
here In the United States, and for
that purpose your dollar Is going to
be worth about the same It has been
worth.
AS PEOPLE regain their confidence
and money begins to pass from
hand to hand more rapidly, so that
It becomes easier to get. Just aa
ducks and geese are easier to get
when more of them are Tying, the
purchasing power of your dollar will
go down. When that happens, we
will begin to complain that the cost
cf living is GOING UP
But the proceu will be gradual
to gradual that you won't notice

Inertia.
The expected sensational congres
sional inquiries Into government
spending have failed to materialize.
The mail contract Inquiry is being
pushed ardently, but it is raking over
the coals left by the previous ad
ministration. None of the Republicans seem to
want to start raking te live coals
of this administration. It appears
th?y are quite content to let things
go along as they are for the present.
They may start Investigating public
works, CWA, ct al., next year if pub
lic opinion Is more encouraging.
For the present they want to get
federal money out of tho grab-bag
themselves while grabbing is good.
A prospective Republican presi
dential candidate arose in tho house
the other day. Newsmen came troop

thought here, at last, the adminls-

derbolts. The speech was very mild and It
concluded with the suggestion that
even more money should be appro

The Republicans eel as silly as

Communications
Cilvc the Women a Break.
To the Editor:
I received so many handshakes over
that little article I wrote ln regatd
to the sheriff's office, and so many
women congratulated me, I am going
to write some more. Here in Jackson
county It seems like there are more
men that think they are qualified
for the sheriff's office and more seek
ing it than any other office in the
county and nearly everyone of them
gets a certain number of followers,
regardless of their qualifications.
Now, in my opinion, a man or a
woman either, for that matter, when
they make application to have their
names put on a primary ballot, should
be compelled to take an examination
as to their ability to fill the bill
and when they are weighed ln the
balance and. found wanting, and have
to depend upon a deputy and a
weman at that to keep the books
and do all the office work, let them
step aside and let someone run It
who can fill the bill. '
In my humble opinion, if a man la
not qualified to run it, I am in favor
of jutting in a woman as sheriff and
not have to pay a man two or three
hundred dollars a month to walk
around with his hands ln hla pockets
and now and then sign hla name to
some paper.
Give the woman the office and
when there Is some bold, bad man
to deal with, let her call on the traf
fic officers, and If you hear my gentle
voice, he will be on his way in short
order and no fool in.
The time has passed when It la
necessary for a sheriff to go around
with a big six-shooter hanging to his
belt, and anyway, if he got Into a
scrap with bad man he couldn't
hit the door, probably, of a bam If
he was on. the inside and the door
shut.-
So let the traffic officers do the
work, if there is any shooting to be
done; that's what they are paid for.

Well. I guess I have said enough,
as I have already had two or three
fellows that I have good reason to
believe are figuring on throwing their
hats Into the ring, give me the silent
nod since I wrote the other article.
Well, boys, keep ln a good humor;
