ETASCADEEO, Calif., March 12. B-r-r-r-1 It' cold. A
drop from 93 in the shade to 53 in four hours and about 200
miles is some drop. A cold fog that came sweeping over the
tops of the garden peas along the shore, straight from the center
of the Pacific, didn't help things any. Overcoat and sweater,
not used for a month, were hurriedly procured from the recesses
of the rumble seat. Didn't help much. It was a night for a
closed car, a roaring fireplace and a leather bed.

living survivals of the real estate boom of the middle twenties.
The company that promoted it went broke with most of the
other real estate promotion concerns, but the people who bought
lake lots and built homes still have them, and are carrying on,
we should say, in true '29 style.
The lake is typically South Californian. That is, it is
ENTIRELY artificial, made by impounding the waters of a
couple f sickly creeks. Certain portions of the shore and lake
bed are made of concrete like a swimming pool. A few years
ago the lake was stocked with bass and blue gills, and recently
with rainbow trout but the bass or the perch promptly ate
up the trout, and now the lake fishermen eat the bass or at
least catch them. No live bait is allowed, only spinners and
spoons aid flios. They say catching a half pound black bass
on a fly is quite good sport, for everyone but the bass. There
are many small boats on the lake, in fact the smallest boats we
have ever seen, most of them couldn't hold any one larger than
Baby LeBoy. Swimming of course is very popular, and sitting
around on the shore in a bathing suit, when it's 93 in the shade,
is more popular still. '
We purposely brought in Baby LeBoy, for it was at Malibou
lake that the film entitled "Tcssie and Gus" was made Baby

One is not surprised to learn that residents of Los Angeles,
who answer tho call of the wild, don't linger in southern Cali
fornia but migrate to far off Oregon and Idaho. One of the
men at the luncheon, an ardent fisherman, is a member of a
fishing club on the Klamath river. Ho has often heard of the
Roguo river, knows many San Francisco sportsmen who go
there, and believes tho steolhead fishing thoro is the best in the
country. He promised to visit Medford this coming August.

CIRCULAR GARTERS
It ,1 commonly thought that the
practice of wearing hose supporters
that encircle the leg, or even trie
z&pm modern garterless
cause or aggravate
enlargement of the
veins varicose
veins.
According to the
observations ot Dr
Norman J. K 1 1
bourne of Los An
geles, who carried
nit rnrpfiil Mnr-
tmcjiu and stud-
tea by means of
X-ray, the direc
tion of flow of biuod in the superfi
cial veins of the leg is not upward
(toward the heart), as we have al
ways assumed, but rather downward
(away from the heart) from hydro
static pressure, or the weight of the
blood at . least when the patient
stands or sits with legs dependent.
By injecting Into a vein a sub
stance that Is opaque t the X-ray
and then watching the blood move
ment through the fluoroscope, Dr,
K 11 bourne determined conclusively
that the direction flow ts downward
In the superficial veins below the
level of the great valve In the saphe
nous vein just below the bend of the
knee. X-ray pictures taken 20 and
80 seconds after injection of such
opaque substance showed no move
ment of the blood upward but only
downward.
Therefore there Is no upward blood
flow to be impeded by round garters.
Can the blood flow in the main or
deep veins of the leg be obstructed or
impeded by the wearing of such gar
ters? Of course the direction of this
main blood flow In the leg veins Is
upward toward the heart. Dr. Kll
bourne answers this question with
an assured "no." He determined this
by applying a tourniquet very tight,
much tighter than a patient would
think of wearing a garter, and yet
the opaque medium is carried away
In the deep veins so rapidly that it
Is difficult to take the X-ray pic
ture quickly enough after the Injec
tion to catch any of it on the plate.
The deep veins, .he says, are burled
too well near the Interosseous mem
brane under pads of thick; calf and
thigh muscle to be affected by the
pressure of round garments.
Where there is a tendency to
edema or swelling of the feet or legs,
it may be better to avoid tight gar

leg, kneo or; ankle.' But where there

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
nrWO men came up to tho lunch I
A counter yesterday morning, satl
down, ordered breakfast, and picked
up the paper. -
(Quite the proper thing to do, lnj
this writer's opinion. Breakfast Isn't!
breakfast without a newspaper to go j
along with It).
NE of them, scanning the head-;
V lines, remarked;
"Huh 1 The government spends
hundreds of millions on the army,
and then the army air service can't
even carry the mall."
This airmail incident hasn't -done
the army any good.
iB continuuedT -
A "Oh, well; the government Is
run by the politicians, and the poli
ticians are a crooked lot, from top
to bottom;"
.
YOU'VE .heard that statement of
ten, of course.
Many people make It because it
sounds smart. Others, undoubtedly
In considerable numbers, actually be
lieve It.
At any ite, It is a common state
ment .
THIS writer, for one, DOESN'T be
lieve it.
Who are poMeians, anyway? Well,
generally speaking, they are office
holders, big and little. Holders of
public office, even the little ones,
HAVE to be politicians, to a greater
or less extent, in order to hold their
Jobs.
This writer chooses to believe that
if ALL the office holders in this
country were assayed 90 per cent or
better of them would be found to
be honest, sincere and devoted to the
public Interest.
THAT Isn't saying that there aren't
too many office holders.
. Statisticians tell us that In this
country about one person out of six
Is a holder of public office, of one
sort or another. That is to say, out
of each six persons one is supported
by the other five. .
That Is putting too heavy a bur
den on the iive, making government
cost more than it should.
But' the fact remains that the
greater part of these holders of pub
lic office are honest, well-meaning'
people.
DOWN in California, as up Here in
Oregon, they are talking fewer
and bigger counties, the idea back of
the talk being to reduce the cost of
government by making fewer govern
mental units.
Holland A. Vandergrlft, director of
sponsoring a plan to merge the 58
counties of California into 15. Up
here in Oregon, we are not so nmbl
tious. We have been talking about merg
ing our 34 counties Into 14.
-
TAKING Director Vandergrlft at
his word, a Ventura man -has pro
posed new names for the 15 counties.
In each group, he has tried to work
In some part or the old names Into
the new name, and tne result Is fear
ful to contemplate.
Up here In the north, for example.
It is proposed to merge Lassen,
Shasta, Siskiyou and Modoc. As a
name for this new unit, he proposes
LAS HA DOC. Over on the coast, Del
Norte, Trinity and . Humboldt are
rolled Into one, and the name he
proposes Is DELTRIBOLT.
LASHADOC andDeltribolt!
Boy, if that ever happens,
Northern California will move over
Into Southern Oregon In a body. i
Who could blame them? i
' !
BUT it won't happen. This talk of
merging counties Is Just talk. ;
The Job of actually' doing It would
be too big for anybody to tackle.
The general oplnlan of seamen ,1s

CORNING. N. Y. (UP) The lens
which is being cast here for the sec
ond .largest telescope in the world
at the McDonald observatory In
Texas will not be ground and fin
ished until near the end of 1935,
according to officials of the Corning
Glass Works.
The huge glass disc will be 81
Inches in diameter and will bp used
In a reflector telescope now under
construction by the Warner-Swascy
company of Cleveland, Ohio.
The largest lens ever made has
Just been completed by the glass
works here and Is now being tested
for intperfections. It Is 120 inches
In dlamter and 17 inches thick. It
weighs more than six tons and a
special railroad car is being built to
carry It to Mount Wilson observa
tory, Just outside Pasadena, Cal.,
where It will be ground, polished and
mounted.
Special glass, poured from ladles
at different times, has gone Into the
moulding of the Mt. Wilson lens.
Satisfied of Its success, officials of
the glass works now plan an even
larger one, to be 16 feet 8 inches In
diameter. This also will be for Mt.
Wilson.
McDonald observatory, a co-operative
undertaking of the University
of Texas and -the University of Chi
cago, with its 81 -Inch lens, will
have a telescope on considerably dif
ferent construction from that at Mt.
Wilson.. This lens Is 13 Inches thick,
and will have a 13-inch hole in the
center. It will be ground concave by
C. A. R. Lundlnc of the Warner
Swasey company. Completion of the
lens will require about 22 months
According to glass experts, -It must
attain "one millionth of an Inch
perfection."
The McDonald observatory disc was
poured In January In the presence '
of several scientists. Including Prof. I
Otto Struve, director of the Yerkes I
