Editorial Correspondence
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17. We have attended many box
fights where the crowd wanted a murder, but never until last
night, one where it was SUPPLIED !
Moreover we came very near being an eye witness, due to a
certain combination of circumstances.
Because of these circumstances we didn't leave the Holly
wood Legion stadium with the crowd, and wandering about
near the fighters' quarters ran into a couple of policemen, who
were hustling a husky middle aged man to the nearest exit,
followed by a milling crowd, in which young roughs in various
stages of undress predominated.
Following along we came out in an alley where an ambulance
with its siren blowing was just leaving, escorted by several
motor cops.
The middle-aged man was
and with more sirens blowing,
We finally learned the husky middle-aged man was H. C.
Hansford, father of the young lightweight we had just seen
gain a doubtful decision over
weight champion. He had slashed a Jim O'Brien who called
the decision "robbery" and when Papa H. objected, O'Brien
proceeded to do a little uppercutting on his own account. Ac
cording to the latest report O'Brien is dying and the father is
held for murder. A fitting end
mayhem 1
We had often heard of these
Hollywood, and listened at times to the ringsido patter over the
radio but lust night was our first appearance, "in person." If
last night was typical, a Hollywood Legion membership must
be WORTH something. There were no fighters of note on the
program, but every event was a slash-bang affair and the place
was packed to the cupola. There were no delays, one match
over the other immediately started, and the Legion band played
with great gusto and disregard of the ear drums, between
whiles. As far as we can learn every Friday night is a "sell
out". Now they have added a
evening's program probably the Legion will have to build an
annex or move their shows to the Hollywood Bowl.
We think we know the answer. In the first place the Legion
puts on a' real show husky willing boys evenly matched, who
are in there doing their stuff all the time. In the second place,
attending these Friday "cards" has come to be "the thing" in
movicland. There were more movie notables at the ringside
last night, than were ever seen at the Brown Derby. Mae Wrest
occupied her accustomed seat, near her were Nancy Carroll,
Mr. and Mrs. Bing Crosby, Robert Young, Jim Jeffries, Jimmy
Durante, and mascara daubed, platinum haired "extras until
the cows came home. Incidentally Miss Mae West is about half
as large in real life as she is on the screen not a midget exactly,
but miles from being another Lillian Russell. We wonder
how long it will be bofore there will be a film thriller called
"Murder at the Ringside" perhaps it will follow Mae West's
new uplift drama known as "There Is No Sin."
Have just learned from the Mail Tribune this air mail order
by P. M. General Farley, puts Medford off the air map entirely!
Preposterous, shocking, and also inconceivable. If private com
panies sorved Southern Oregon, why can't the army do the
same! We have just filed a wire to Senator McNary backing
up the Chamber of Commerce protest with all the expletives in
our dictionary. If anyone can rectify such a colossal blunder
the senior senator from Oregon can.
So 400,000 CWA workers are to be dropped from the rolls
the coming week. More are to be dropped later. Well it had
to come sometime, perhaps it may as well come now. Not since
the depression started will Uncle Sam undergo a more severe
test, than the elimination of DIRECT federal relief entails. Can
private industry take up the slack! That's the tremendous
question. If it can't then of course there will be trouble seri
ous trouble. President Roosevelt apparently believes it can.
We certainly hope, MOST FERVENTLY HOPE that he is
right I
Too bad Mrs. Davo Wood or Anna 5Iae Kuson couldn't have
come down to play in the finals in the women's invitation
tournament at the L. A. oountry club Friday, against the new
champion, Miss "Buff" Abbott. They would at least have given
the former U. of C. coed a belter run for her money than did
Miss Margaret Bushard. We have no desire to rub it in, for
Miss B. did her beBt and we never felt sorrier for anyone in
our life, BUT the fact remains the gallery did want to see a
contest, and there WAS none.
Miss Abbott was terribly off herself, shooting near the
nineties all the time, but her opponent simply had a case of
stage fright, complicated by the jitters, which brought tears to
one's eyes. Never in tournament golf before, and getting into
the finals only after the hardest struggle, tho cumulative strain
was too much and neither cigarcts, rabbit's foots or confer
ences with her caddy helped. On the gully hole, she topped her
drive into the sink, looked up her second, and clubbed complete
ly out, while her third hit a tree. Whereupon sho picked up as
she did on two or three other holes in that 18. Too bad and
something we always had expected but never had seen in an
important tournament before. We will say this for Miss Bush
ard, however, she never s' pped trying, never lost her dignity,
and never broke down, but sho would be less than human, if
after she got to the club house after being beaten 9 down, she
didn't all by her lonesome, enjoy a good cry! R. w- R-

A CASE OF COLITIS AND WARNING.
A correspondent delivers this warn-
lng:
"About thr months ago I read
your article In
which you inld

lltli. About the
aama time I
flrat noticed
conald erable
mucous I took
your a d t 1 o a
and "Ignored It
as much a
possible, with
the result that
a few weeks later I found my
self In the hospital with a severe
cane of ulcerative colitis.
Furthermore the treatment was
rest. Irrigations, hypodermic in
, Jectlons and "frealc diet" (your
own words.)
What I should like to know
now ts this. Are you still of the
opinion that there Is "no seen
anlmlle" as mucous colitis?
If I were writing an article I
should say "At the first sign of
(we'll omit symptoms) have a
protoscoplc examination." .
The correspondent's recommenda
tion Is a good one, only so few lay
men would act upon It. The procto
scope Is an Instrument by means of
which the rectum Is examined. Four
out of five persons who suffer with
trouble In this part of the body pre
fer to fool along with nostrums, freak
dieting and the like. False modesty,
or Just plain Ignorance, keeps most
victims of rectal or colonic trouble
away from competent physicians-
physicians who do not attempt to pre
scribe for jot advise or treat such cases
until they have made a proper exami
nation and determined precisely what
Is the matter.
I cannot assert too emphatically
that there Is no such condition as
"mucous colitis." Colitis means in
flammation of the colon, and there la
certainly no Inflammation present In
the characteristic complaint which
wiseacres and their quacks call "mu
cous colitis."
This correspondent fell into the
error which many others are likely to
fall into, from the misunderstanding
caused by applying the term "colitis"
to a complaint In which there is no
such serious condition. The corres
pondent confused real colitis with
the Imaginary "mucous colitis."
Ulceration In the large bowel Is a
serious condition. I cannot discuss
it here, for the simple reason that it

Harpers Bazaar and one of the few
chief tans of the editorial sanctum
with real musical
ability. I think It
was Henry Wat

he had never met
an editor who
could hum the
simplest tune.
But Samuels Is
a pianist of con

repertory ranges
from h 1 s own

He Is in his 30 's and one of the few
able to winnow a story or poem from
the coy and reluctant Dot Parker.
Samuels kicked off as a reported

gratory rounds. He was the origina
tor of the idea that culminated in
tht glossy outburst known as The
New Yorker. His afternoon teas offer
a celebrity showing rarely eclipsed in
a town of celebrity displays.

gestlng to healthy readers morbid
symptoms. But 1 agree with the cor
respondent that the wise course for
any one who develops any symptoms
at all Is to go Immediately to a com
petent physician and remember,
please, that a competent physician
never prescribes for or advises or
treats one with rectal disorder
similar complaint until he has made
a proper examination and determined
definitely what he Is treating.
In denying that such a condition
as "mucous colitis" occurs I ara not
advancing merely my own notion,
am giving you the consensus of medl
cal opinion. Try and controvert It if
any physician of standing has the
courage to dispute this teaching.
The correspondent seems deter
mined to show me up In the worst
light. Among the remedial measures
that were used in treatment of the
ulcerative colitis was "freak diet.
Freak diets, to my mind, are the
kind wiseacres monkey with on their
own funny notion or on the suges
tlon of some mall-order humbug
healer. I have never Implied that
dietary regulations prescribed by one's
own physician are in any way absurd,
QUESTION'S AXn ANSWERS.
Borax Cleans 'Em Out.
I wrote for your Instructions for
eradicating roaches, which you sent
promptly, but such a horde of them
invaded my house that In desperation
I sprinkled borax In crevices and the
corners of cupboards or wherever I
thought the roaches would run. Next
morning I was delighted to find many
roaches dead. I used the borax for
week or two and have not seen a
roach since. Mrs. A. 8. K.
Answer I hope other readers will
report their experience with borax.
If it Is efficacious It Is much better
than the chemical I recommended for
the purpose, which is far less safe
than borax to have In the house.
Finger Tips Cracked.

tips, and the skin of my hands being

U AUSTRIA In Civil War." "All
- France Feels Grip of 8trlkers."
"Jap, Soviet War Brewing."
So read the foreign news headlines
on the front page.
They are not pleasant reading.
LETS be thankful That these head
lines concern the FOREIGN news
not our own home news.
Here In the United States, If we
are wise, we will turn our thoughts
away from war and violence and
toward peace and work and recovery
of our normal standard of living.
IF EUROPE insists on war and vio
lence, let Europe HAVE war and
violence. For our part, let's have
peace and happiness and prosperity
for our people.
We can have these things if we will
just be sensible enough to stay out
of war.
pHE ambition of NRA, so far as Jts
M, "cut hours" drive is concerned
we read, Is believed to be an ulti
mate 36-hour, rather than a 32-hour
week.
That Is wise. There is a lot of talk
of shorter work hours and more leis
ure, but In the long run we shall be
better off if we work more 'and HAVE
MORE.
Work is good for people. Too much
leisure ISN'T.
THE It has been a lot of talk In re
cent years of over-production,
which we are coming to regard as a
terrible menace.
The real trouble Isn't over-production.
It Is under - consumption.
brought about by Imperfect distribu
tion. If everybody could exchange
what he produces, at a fair and even
rate of exchange, for what everybody
else produces, there would be no such

If that could be brought about, the'

FORMATION of an 11 million dollar
corporation to deal "with Russia
is announced by Jesse H. Jones, chair.
man of the reconstruction finance
corporation.
Is it proposed to LEND Russia the
money with which to buy what we
have to sell? If It is, we shall be dis
appointed In the long run with re
sults.
We had a lot of experience with
that kind of business right after the
war, and all of it was unpleasant.
When you have to lend the other
fellow the money with which to buy
what you have to sell, you are doing
business on an unsound basis.
M
WHEN you come right down to it,
a lot of our trouble Is due to
foreign trade, and the Jams it gets
Us into, one way and another.
Foreign trade, the statisticians tell
us, amounts to only about 10 per
cent of our total trade, even in the
big years.
So, you see. It Isn't really as Im
portant as It seems.
IF WE could just learn to distribute
equally and fairly what we pro
duce, so that everybody could trade
what he has for what the other fellow
has on a fair and even basis, we
could consume our own production
right here at home and get along
WITHOUT foreign trade.
It may be that some day we shall
learn how to do that
When we do.
we shall be fortunate.
