IOS ANGELES, Feb. 16: Every day in every way, war
comes nearer and nearer. At least so the newspapers say,
There is to be war between Japan and Russia, as soon" as
Manchuria thaws out. There is to be war in Europe, perhaps
before.
We don't deny war evidence is overwhelming. We fail to
see how the European mess can be cleaned up without fighting,
and we fail te see how Japan can get the room and resources she
wnnts, without mixing it up with the Soviet bear.
Yet so much war talk, for such a long time and so persistent
ly, makes one suspicious. If Japan really were determined to
fight Russia in the Spring, wouldn't she make some effort to
disguise her purpose, allay the suspicions of the world and
particularly of Russia?
Would she listen to this war talk month after month, without
denying it, without at least maintaining, she is not inviting it
making a peaceful gesture now and thent The Japanese aren't
fools. They realize how the world would view one nation that
would deliberately insist upon invading another.
Or has Japan made up her mind, and decided to bo hard-
boiled about it!
We don't know. Probably no one outside of the Elder
Statesmen in Japan, knows. But because these wars arc being
advertised so generously BEFOREHAND, we have a hunch they
won't come off at least not in the immediate future. Our
belief is when modern nations really want war, they act first.
and talk about it afterward, not the other way around.
If wo have the right slant on tlio American attitude toward
war either in Europe or the Far East it's one of "hands off."
Let them fight if they want to, we won't get in it this
time. Very sensible, and considering our recent war experi
ence, very natural too.
But don't forget this. If war onva large scale really breaks
out", it will be easier to TALK about keeping out of it than
ACTUALLY doing so. War interferes with trade, and if Japan
fights Russia, she will treat ocean going commerce in the Pacific
much as Great Britain treated it during the World war in the
Atlantic. Uncle Sam won't like that. Neither will John Bull.
Many people have forgotten that before Germany insisted upon
her U-boat warfare, the United States was much nearer a break
with England than with the Centra! Powers.
One of these days someone will write up Main Street, Los
Angeles it is quite as unusual and picturesque as the Old Bow
ery in New York nothing quite like it anywhere else in the
country that we know of. It is sort of combination of street
carnival, Ooney Island, a honkcy tonk, a circus side-show, and
the Tia Juana of ten years ago. And then there are the shooting
galleries. A newspaper man gave us a new slant on them the
other day. We have often wondered how they make a go of it
who wants to shoot at clay pipes and whirling rabbits, when
they can go out in the hills nearby and shoot at something real!
Well it seems the city gunmen do. They use them to keep
in practice or so our reporter friend claims. They find it
hard to practice in the congested district of a large city, and
they don t fancy motoring fifty miles to test the trigger finger.
So they drop down to Pete's and crack over a few pipes and
see how often they can ring the bell.
Strange some enterprising shooting gallery owner doesn't
sot upa few "uniformed cops" with a box of cigars when the
bullet hits a vital spot!
We knew John Cupp was one of the best salesmen and one
of the worst golfers in Southern Oregon, but we didn't know he
was such a fast worker. John checked in at this hotel the other
day, and then after ringing him three- times without any luck
the fourth try brought the information he had gone. Checking
on those calls indicates John doesn't work on an NRA schedule
when he!s away from home.
And hero's another disappointment. Dropped in early at
the Brown Derby in Hollywood yesterday, and there was Joe
Brown alone at a table having luncheon. Imagine the oppor
tunity of seeing Joe with no company around, feeding that face
of his. Wo expected he would at least slip a butter plate into
his mouth by mistake. But ho did nothing but consume his
modest lunch in tho most meticulous and orthodox fashion. That
mouth of his was a great disappointment also. Like John
Gilbert's voice it's half make-up. It isn't actually small or
Cupid's bow, but it isn't so noticeable nor so grotesque in
fact the man is rather good looking. Somehow in general ap
pearance and expression he reminds us of Jim Stevens. We
almost asked him to sing "Old Man River." R. W. R.

HYPOPITUIT4RV OBESITY.
$'U
Woman had a waist measure of 27
Inches and. hip measure of 45 Inches.
Above the waist she was not at all rat.
Below the waist she was big enough
for two women
her size. Piano
legs. A great gir
dle of fat around
the loins, hips
and hypogastri-
um. Pat pads
above the knees
on the Inside of
the thighs. Aside
from fat pads on
the upper arms
she was not obese
north of , the
equator.
AM thu had overtaken her In the
past two years. The was 38 years old.
Other signs or symptoms the doctor
noted In her case, but which need not
concern us here, confirmed hla opin
ion that her pituitary gland function
was deficient. In such circumstances
the obesity is likely to be largely con
fined to the southerly hemisphere. In
this particular casu a month's treat
ment with the proper ductless gland
substance or hormone brought about
a remarkable change. The woman lost
only 2; pounds weight but she had
to have her skirts reduced around the
hips three times. The mental sluggish
ness had passed and she was now
bright and alert. The haggard, almost
emanclated appearance of her face
and neck had Improved. Apparently
there had been a redistribution, rath
er than a reduction, of fat.
It Is not always necessary for one
with thla hypopltultary type of obes
ity to receive glandular treatment. A
carefully adjusted dietary regimen,
together with a moderate course of
exercise, has proved entirely adequate
In many cases.
Hypopltultary Individuals (men or
women) usually have a high sugar
tolerance that Is. they can eat a
greater quantity of starches or sugars
than normal Individuals can, without
excreting, sugar thru the kidneys.
Moreover they are not so strong as
normal Individuals, and they usually
have a great fondness for starches or
sugars In one form or another any
thing from potatoes to bon-bons
probably becauce such food Is quickly
obsorbed and gives energy immedia
tely. So we must be patient with these
hypopltultary folk. They are miser
able without their carbohydrates. In
many instances they suffer genuine
distress and even serious collapse t
they go too many hours without some
carbohydrate food. Probably due to
their faulty ductless gland function
they have hypoglycemia (too little
sugar In the blood) and they feel
"right" only when they partake of
some food which will temporarily
bring the blood sugar up to the nor
mal level.
However, a high protein, high vita
min, high mineral salt diet not only
reduces but makes these hypopitul
tarJana feet satisfied and "right" even
without their accustomed gorges. The
craving far sweets disappears. Makes
'em quite human, in fact.
Yes, yes. Keep your shirt on and
tuck your napkin under your chin.
We shall now serve breakfast and we
cordially Invite all bypopltul tartans to
sit In with us. I don't know what It
Is about these fat low down ginks,
but they are almost Invariably kind,
unselfish, gentle and you can't help
loving them. AH right, Hawkins,
we're ready. You may serve now, out
don't answer "Very good, sir" unless
you want to go out on your ear.
Breakfast One portion of fruit; .
one egg and the white of a second

bread substitute, and a sugar substi
tute.
Lunch Three ounces of lean meat,
fish or fowl, or small helping of meat.
fish or fowl or pot cheese and a glass

In this column recently we suggest

French physicians have highly extoll

In this country. Prof. Yandell Hender

would be of no avail whatever. Pro

TUESDAY evening, at 8 o'clock, at
the Pine Tree theatre, the Med
ford Oleemen will sing In Klamath
Falls.
The admission price will be 50
cents for a concert that In any
metropolitan city In the country
would cost from 2 to $3 and would
be worth It.
fHE Medford Oleemen Is an or
A ganlzatlon of 40 business men
of this city.
It Is directed by James Stevens,
a nationally known star of grand
opera, whose voice, coupled with
magnetic personality, wins everyone
who hears It. Two yeara ago, In Port
land, the cltlea of Southern Oregon
presented a Southern Oregon pro
gram at the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, and Mr. Stevens' singing
was the feature of the program. They
Just simply wouldn't let him quit.
His numbers alone will be worth
many times the cost of admission.
BUT It Isn't this concert alone that
Interests us here In Southern Ore
gon. It Is the spirit back of It.
LISTEN:
These busy business men of Med
ford, whose hobby Is singing, are
going over to Klamath Falla Tues
day evening at their OWN EXPENSE.
They will pay all their own travel
coata and buy all their own food.
Every cent taken In at Tuesday
evening'a concert, above the email
necessary costs Involved In the use
of the theatre, the printing of pro
grams, tickets, etc.. will go to the
Pelicans, Klamath's leading charity
organization, to be used for Its fine
charity work.
Could there POSSIBLY be a finer
gesture of good will and mutual
helpfulness?
HfEDFORD and Klamath Falls are
tne two principal cities of
Southern Oregon. Southern Oregon
Is an orphan community, forgotten
by the rest of the stste. Whatever
It gets, it will have to GET FOR
ITSELF.
If It la going to get anywhere
near as much as It Is going to want
In the future, its communities will
have to WORK TOGETHER.
Generous recognition of that fact
Is back of thla trip of the Medford
Oleemen to Klamath Falls.
MEDFORD andKiamath Falls are
unusually situated aa neighbor
ing cities. They sre not competitive
In any way. EACH Is the OTHER'S
best customer.
Over In the Klamath country, they
buy and consume Rogue River val
ley fruit and produce. Here in the
Rogue River valley, we buy and con
sume Klamath potatoes, grain, hay
and meat.
Year In and year out, a steady
procession of trucks passes back and
forth over the mountain, carrying
the products of one community to
the market In the other community.
It .Is a mutually helpful trade.

sharp competition with each other
for tourist trade.
Medford la Interested In the Pac

ed In the Weed highway and the

Hence. It Is assumed, they must
compete with each other for tourists,
each taking from the other all It
can.
IN THIS writer's humble Judgment,
that ISN'T TRUE.
The harder Medford and Klamath
Falls go after tourists, each on its
own account, the more tourists will'
come. Those who come north by way
of the Pacific highway will be apt
to return by way of trie Weed high
way. Those who enter Crater Lake
from the west will be apt tc depart

by way of the Weed highway will
be Inclined to return by .he Pacific,
and If they enter the park fron the
cast they will depart by the west.
The result of friendly competition
for tourists on the part of both cities
will be to bring to EACH city MORE
tourists than It would be aole to

BOTH Medford nd Klamath Falls
have much to gain by the growth

This desired growth and development
will be promoted by co-opcratlon.

PREPARES TO SEAT
LEOPOLD AS KING
(Continued from page one) fc
there came a pounding at the door,
urgently summoning to the telephone.
It wag thus, In Switzerland, that
the young prince learned he mtwt
prepare to be king.
Prince llti.rles Home
He went at once to the quarters of
his consort, and broke to her the
news. They started for Brussels im
mediately, arriving here early today.
The crown prince and princess, the
former Princes Astrld of Sweden, 28
years old, hurried to the royal castle
at suburban Iaeken.
Like Queen Elizabeth, prostrated by
grief the prince and princess remain
ed hidden today In the castle behind
the guarded, grilled fence, while a
throng milled soberly about outside.
The first Important ceremony dur
ing the period of mourning, which
will continue until after the funeral,
will be removal of the body to the
royal palace In Brussels tonight.
The body will be borne on a caisson
between solid walls of war veterans
along the route through the city
war veterans who remember the grest
figure of a man six feet two Inches
tall who risked his life almost dally
to be close to his soldiers during the
trying days of the World war.
To Me In State
The body will He in state at the
palace until Thursday when it will
be taken to the Snlnt Oudele cathed
ral. Interment will be In the royal
crypt at Laeken.
How the wldoed. 68-year-old Queen
Elizabeth was holding up under the
sudden sorrow could not be learned
today. Since the first outburst of pas
sionate distress in the death chamber
where she knelt weeping beside the
body, she has passed the time in pri
vacy. Only the second son. Prince Charles,
was with the queen until last mid
night when Prince Leopold and his i
wife arrived from Switzerland. Their
sorrowful meeting took place In the
queen's favorite apartments In the
palace at Laeken.
For the next three days, the crown
prince and princess are expected :o
maintain privacy Insofar as possible
the princess particularly. It Is unlike
ly that she will appear In public.
Take Oath Friday
Prince Leopold will take the oath of
fidelity to the constitution before a
Joint meeting of the chamber and tlie
senftte Friday. Afterward, he will be
proclaimed king and. with completion
of that act, Prlncese Astrld will be
come queen.
In the castle awaiting removal to
Brussels, the body of the king lay to
dsy In a bed of rosewood, strewn with
white lilacs, a heavy bandage around
the head.
The face was unmarked, exeept for
two, cuts over the right eye.
The lips were parted slightly. The
light moustache was trimmed neatly.
The body was dressed in the. olive uni
form of a general.
Everywhere today people were still
talking almost as though they could
not believe the tragedy actually had
occxirred. As they recounted the story
ot the accident, amid a few whisper
ed rumors that he might hsve met
with violence, ministers of the gov
ernment and authorities at Nr.mur
confirmed the manner of his death.
