Motored over to this church-goer's PARADJSE via Glcndale and Montrose. Montrose iii still trying to dig out of the mud and rock deposited by the New Year's flood, without much success apparently. At least the place is still pretty much of a mess. Largely a suburb of cheap bungalow construction, the rushing waters certainly "showed up" the modern mania for abodes that look prcaentablc OUTSIDE' but can't "take it" when the wear and tear begins. Imposing Spanish "fronts" and pergola trimmings are re vealed as flimsy lathes and hanging plaster, basements are gutted, the alleged masonry crumbled away, revealing cavities like decayed molars in some giant's cavernous mouth. A few C.W.A. men were at work and now and then one met a Legionnaire in "over-seas" cap, with picture postcards of the disaster for sale, also a Legionnaire-ess, a red haired young lady with a patch over her left eye and a tin cup in her right hand, tagging each car for a donation "anything you can give for the sufferers' not matter how small." Not a very EDIFY ING SPECTACLE! AVe wouldn't be greatly surprised if this most severely dam aged section of Montrose were never rebuilt. There is so much ROOM in California. They say the quake-wrecked section of the town has merely moved been rebuilt a few blocks away. Rather tough on the former property owners but when it comes to real estate there isn't much sentiment in Southern California, and with such a floating, constantly changing population there are no traditions to maintain. Quakes, floods, oil-fircs, explosions, and one of the highest motor fatality records in the world, Los Angeles certainly is not a very safe place in which to live. It is also, next to Chicago', the NOISIEST city in the country. Yet as one wanders about, there appear to be more, people in the downtown section than ever before. In another 25 years we wager it will be as large as New York City is today. You can curse out the place all you like, the fact remains nine out of 10 people, prefer living iu it or its environs, to living anywhere else in the world. Year after year, in good times and bad, people pf all ages, sizes and stations in life KEEP POUR ING IN and once settled here almost NEVER move out. So if we owned any real estate in this part of the country which we don't, we would certainly hang on to it, if we COULD.

Another noticcablo thing is the largo number of new and expensive cars. Perhaps the answer is that outsiders aro buying their cars after they get here which judging by tho prices displayed at these used car lots, isn't a bad idea. R. W. R.

Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. Th. Qleemen went to K. Palls Tues. and blended their voices. Sho has followed my amusing column for year, she says, ajid has noticed that I have done conitder&ble sidetracking when anawerlng inquiries pertaining to di et. One question In particular I have handled In a way which, be trays my utter 1 n c o m petence. That la the ques tion of waterless cooking of vege tables. My teaca lng that there Is no algnlcant nu tritive loss when vegetables are cooked In water and the water !i thrown away Is far from correct, Mrs Yankee informs me. I admit that the cooking water dis solves some of the mineral salts from foods cooked In chat way, and that the cooking water Is good to use making soup or gravy Well, then, wny throw away the mineral salts, when by cooking in waterless cookers they can be retained In the food? If the doctors of this country would ten people more about how to pre pare food properly and how to eat It properly Instead of temporarily reme dying ailments, we would all be so much better off, avers Mrs. Yan, Then the lady gets off her chest some general views about doctors The average doctor who hands -ut pills Is only a guesser, she screams, ff he guesses right he Is a good doctor. If he doesn't he tries something else. and this trying something else at the expense of the patient is costly, but why should the doctor worry? He gets his money for each office visit guess ing contest and the patient gets the pills. ' Here I polished my specs and drew my whiskers to one side and scrutin ized Mrs. Yan Kee's contribution closely. No, it Is pills, not bills as I thought the patient gets from the doctor. If the good woman would di vulge where In the world doctors get their money for each office visit these days I know a lot of fine doctors who would move there right away If some one would stake him for the expense of moving. Now we come to the heart and In spiration of the lecture. "We know in our family from posl-, tlve results what the steaming of vegetables has done 'or us." testifies Mrs. Yan Kee, "and we don't fall lor any line of yours that vegetables! should be cooked In water and the water thrown In the sink. I suppose you're going to tell us that soup Is good made from meat bones. You know that you get nothing but" the acid of the marrow from boiling bones." No, I do not insist on cooking vege tables in water. Personally I prefer 'em baked or roasted or fried. But I still think it Is a matter of Individual taste, and not a question of nutri tive economy, which way you cook vegetables. QUESTIONS AND ANSWKKS Save Time, Pain, Rlk. I understand Dr. charges (a reasonable fee.) I'd like to have the treatment but Isn't there some one who will do It at & reasonable price? . . . (H. u D.) Answer The physician you mentlqn does, if that is his fee. If the fee Is the main factor, you had better be content with the old standard surgical operation. I recommend the diathermy method of extrlpatlng tonsils and the ambulant or Injection method for her nia because of the saving In time, pain and risk. I believe these modern methods cost about the same as the old fashioned methods, in fees. In my Judgment greater skill Is required ior euner or.tnese methods of treat' ment than is required for the stand ard surgical operation. Therefore the modern method should command the larger fee. Premarital Care. Do you consider It advisable for a woman aged 32 years to have a gyne cologlcal examination before getting married? Except for being under weight, her general health Is good. (S. R.) Answer Not unless there Is reason to believe there may be some abnor mality or disease which affects fitness to marry. But she should have medical advice and perhaps treatment to build up her weight, irrespective of mar riage. Unbidden Guests. How grateful I am for your advice . . . For two years I suffered with Itch between toes and cracked skin. Would wake nights with terrible Itching . . . One doctor told me I might lose toes or whole foot ... I tried the salve you suggest In your booklet "Unbid den Guests." and in one week's time I was all cured. It worked a miracle. This was seven months ago and I have had no trouble since . . . (Mrs. B. O. J.) Answer It Is quite likely your cure was really due to tht treatment your aoctor used Just before you happened Comment on the Day's 'News Flight o Time (Medford and Jackson County History From the Files of The Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Years A1.0.) By FRANK JENKINS PRINCE SIQVARD, of Sweden, la reported to be about to marry a commoner, and hi. royal' family la having a fit about It.

UNEMPLOYMENT Insurance for workers In Oregon would be provided under the terms of a con stitutional amendment filed at Sa lem the other day, tc. be voted on next fall If It gets signatures enough Unemployment Insurance would be fine, If we could afford It, but we ahouldn't lose sight of the fact that nobody who la employed needs to wait for a constitutional amendment to eecure unemployment Insurance. A savings account at th. bank will take care of that very nicely. NEITHER ahould we forget that' no young person needs to wait for the LAW to provide old 'age pensions. An endowment Insurance policy will provide an old age pension without waiting for the processes of law.

Feb. 22. (AP) A new method of sound record ing, In which It Is possible to re cord anorchestra of 102 pieces, will be used for the first time In motion pictures when Grace Moore's first film is made. The new method Is dubbed the "hill and dale" process, for the sound recording groove. Instead of varying literally, as In the usual disc record, aa used on the phonograph, varies In depth. The spiral line of the groove Is Vie same, but the recording through 1 the "hill and dale" method allows for much more variation In volume of sound. The new method requires a dax disc over an Inch thick, which allows plenty of depth for any pos sible volume of sound. Grand Jury convenes and will In vestigate a number of scandal mon ger lng cases.

But suppose you had ten thou sand that you wanted to loan if you could be certain you would get it back. Just where would you loan it at the present moment? THE reason people with money are afriad to loan It la that for near ly three years ; business in general has operated with very little profit and profits are necessary for the repayment of loans. Just as soon as Industry gets back on a profitable basis again, those who have money will be willing to LEND it again. When that happens, credit will again be abundant.
