HOW BOOBS ARR CREATED. (Liberty Man.) The human race, In fact, de tests thrift, ss It detests Intelli gence. The man who accumu lates more than he needs and eaves the surplus Is disliked by all who either can't or won't fol low his example, and that means by the great majority of .his fel low men. His program shames them, and they resent It. Thus he la an easy mark for theorists and politicians alike.

The Portland thinkers for the farmers seem to be contra dicted agatn. . Spring hats for the Oalshevlkls are now on display, and the leading spe cies are the "Off-the-Fare" and the "Brim4 hata. There Is also the Mae West hat, which csnnot be worn by those with bed-slat architecture. The "Off-the-Face" hat Is an "On-the-Resd'' hat, and Is not apt to be popu lar, aa It will protect the wearer from eun, wind, rain, snow and other tricks f the weatherman. The "Brim" hat has a brim, which shoots up. or down, saucily, after a good start to wards being a regular brim.

The Ashlsnd-Mrdford quints are battling this week, accompanied by about the same amount of civic In tereat aa a Foreign Mission Federation for the Uplift of Kaffir Youth. It waa not alwava that tranquil. Ten years ago Insult filled the air, and ctttaens returned from forays Into sister cities, with egg-ehcllt on their coat collars and pitchfork track In their coat-tails. Nobody slumbered the night before the game, the night of the game, or the night after the game. All hands. Including the ath lete, came out of the turmoil, none the worse for the excitement. The loser eongrstulated the winner, nor malcy waa restored, and all returneo to the anvil, the plow, the store, the office, the service ststlon, the street corner and the fishing pole. It wss a two-week's mad. Now eveivbody Is made all the time with more Inter eated In the shooting In Europe, than feeskslbsil shooting. Editorial Correspondence PASADENA, Calif., Feb. Mark Twain'g about the weather has unusual application. There is a great deal of talk about the weather, but very little done about it. "Isn't this a glorious day!" "Wasn't that a lovely raint'.' Think of it 40 below in New York state!" "Didn't you think it wag cold last night f' "But isn't it warm this morning," etc., etc. If it weren't for the weather, what WOULD we do for conversation I But this morning there was some excuse. There was a genu ine thunder storm last night, it flashed, and crashed and then how it poured I And at 1 a. m, ill-fated residents of Montrose to make ready for another flood. According to the morning papers, many homes are being evacu ated, and household belongings packed. We doubt if a flood occurs lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. But it shows how flood "conscious" this part of California has become. We don't do much about the weather. But the weather docs a great deal about US. President Roosevelt would confirm this, as would the U. S. army air service, this complete flop of the new air mail policy was NOT duo to former P. M. General Brown or the howls of the private air companies,, but to the weather man. Had there been clear weather and service as' usual, with the army today on the job, the whole affair might have been a very different story. But even as popular a president as Roose velt couldn't stand five army fliers killed in as many days, by "the climate." Speaking of the president's popularity there is no doubt of it but there is evidence some of his official family are inclined to bank on it TOO much. Postmaster General Farley for ex ample, in the south, instead of justifying the air mail manifesto with FACTS AND FIGURES, says he rejoices that the rank and file of good Americans are backing the president, in his efforts to free the people from the strangle hold of stock jobbers and promotion sharks. That is true enough. But until Mr. Farley shows EXPLICITLY, just where the air mail companies have flim-flammed the people, and been guilty of unfair and impro per tactics, public opinion will refuse to bade the administration in this particular direction. There is a right and a wrong way in doing things of this sort. The right way is first to prove the misdeed and then decree the punishment not tackle the prob lem the other way around. Have just returned from the Pasadena dog show, 'which is a social event of great importance in Southern California. Once upon a time the dog show was put on in a circus tent, but now it is put on in the new civic auditorium where the ACOUSTICS are better. The show consists largely of the dogs looking at the movie stars and the assembled multitude looking at both. Robert Montgomery was there and had his picture taken with a Great Diihe botli were very handsome Stuart Erwin exhibited an English bulldog, with a nice under shot jaw, watery eyes, and a bad all n f anr nr.4n.n 3 - 1 jo", noioij vco, niiu una case or asinma. uuart had a paper of hamburger under his arm, rolled up pellets about the size of a'golf ball, and dropped them nonchalantly into the dog's mouth. The-dog swallowed them "gerplupl" without changing his expression or so much as asking for a chaser. As this oc ourred about 3:30 p. m. we suppose it was the dog's tea. We can't believe his meal of the day is such an informal and casual event Of course his teeth don't meet, but then, he must use them at some of his meals, otherwise he would soon lose them, for certainly Stuart would not let such a wheer.y, misshapen old gentleman, exercise them in a fight. There are styles in dogs as in everything else. Judging by the comments, we would say the old English sheep dogs have the edge over the Schnauzers and Pinters at the present mo ment. There were only about half a dozen of them, but they got the crowd. They were attended by a glamorous lady of the Jean Harlow type, and a colored chauffeur. Before being taken into the ring, the latter under the former's crisp, authoritative directions,, gave those pups everything but a permanent wave. They were combed, manicured, plucked and massaged. And they took it lying down so to speak. We know nothing about this breed, but we would testify to the amiable disposition of this particular exhibit. Perhaps they had been doped they acted like it. Such a mauling as they got and yet never a sound, nor a protest. They were shoved around, turned up, and over, pulled this way and that, like so mnny pelts in a fur factory. In fact they gave the impression of being a collection of furzy, freshly washed, recently stuffed fur rugs. And as they have no eyes that are visible, behind their Niagara Falls bangs, this impression was greatly accentuated. The Duchess in charge said a nice pup not a prize winner of course, but first class pedigreed, registered, and all that could be purchased tor $ 100. Well we would, rather putl into a mongrel sav a oross between a Chow and a Dachshund and the rest into half a dor.cn polar bear rugs to scatter about the house. R.W.R.

Doctors have long regarded certain types of anemia, notably' chlorosis (the green sickness) which Is now rarely seen, pernicious anemia, and leukemia, as primary diseases of the blood. But the view held by most physicians at present Is that these so-called primary anemias are due to derinlte causes if only we have the knowledge and skill to determine the cause.

It even does not aim to make the gov ernment neutral, but la calculated merely to make It legal for the medi cos to u.e the malls for the distribu tion of knowledgo and materials that have to do with the subject. How It would act as an assault and battery on the taxpayers' purse la hard to dope out. One of your correspondents expressed the fear that it would, and your editorial reply Indicated that you shared It. On the contrary, the bill would check the, momentum of the movement Into debt and ruin, now going merrily on.

Ooid HiU, Feb. 35, Memorial to Dedicated GRANTS PASS. Peb. 37. (SpU Standing alone beside the Pacific highway, a silent tribute to the brav ery of a fallen police officer, a block of rugged southern Oregon granite stands. It was dedicated Sunday by members of the Oregon state police and the Oregon national guard to the memory or Burrell Milo Baucom, w,ho was killed July 1. 1033, when in the act or making arrests eight miles north or Grants Pass. John Alvln Bowles and Harry Bar rier, confessed slayers or Baucom, were later sentenced to lire Impris onment. In making the dedication address, W. T. Miller, state senator from Grants Pass, described Baucom as a gentle, fearless, smiling and kind hearted officer of the law, defend ing the principles and rulea Ue bad been chosen to defend. , He declared the world In passing would know of Baucom's heroic and tragic death by the story tihe stone carried. Turning to the more than 30 officers standing at attention be fore the monument, he interpreted! passages from the poem, "In Flan ders Fields," to apply to a fallen po lice officer whose falling hands cast the torch to the hands of his com rades. Brigadier General Thomas Rilea of Salem, commander or the Oregon national guard, spoke words or praise for Baucom as an officer and sol dier. He said he had first known Baucom as a lieutenant or the or ganized reserve. When he first saw the solldler, he determined, Rilea said, to have Baucom as a member or his own brigade. Accordingly, Baucom was signed In 1929 aa a first lieutenant In the Oregon na tional guard.

Trial or Blden. at liberty on 1000 bonds, was scheduled to start tomor row. The deputy district attorney said the girl is now In an isolation ward afflicted with a malignant, communi. cable disease, and to bring her here now as a witness would necessitate an attendant and additional expense. The court denied an order for her appearance that contained a clause providing her liberty during the pe riod she was here as a, witness. The court ordered she be under guard. The district attorney's office moved for dismissal of the present indict ment, after the court had ordered the girl brought here as a witness. The Gilbrlde girl was ordered com mitted to the Louise Home of Port land by the Juvenile court. An ap peal to the circuit court waa filed and Is now pending. She was detained, following action taken by her sisters, when she was found at night In a house occupied by Blden. She stoutly denied any dereliction and Insisted that only platontc relations prevailed. In a Justice court hearing the girl de fended Blden In her testimony.

Chicago gang chief, became a "model prisoner.' and his sentence was cut for good behavior. He will be released tomorow, the Associated Press learning from reli able unofficial sources that his fine will be paid. If it had not been paid, he would have had to take the pau per's oath, swearing he has no prop erty, then serving 30 days more. War den Finch R.
