Another Great F. D. Victory
TpflE settlement of the threatened automobile strike is another
great victory for President Roosevelt.
Tbe president did, personally, what General Johnson, as head
of the NRA, negotiating with organized labor on one hand, and
the manufacturers on the other, was unable to do.
How did he do it f
He did it essentially by using big head.
And the way President Roosevelt used his head in solving
this problem is undoubtedly the way he will use it in solving
other intricate problems of the New Deal, as they arise. Anyone
who wishes to know what the New Deal means, and the methods
the administration will employ to achieve it, will find the answer
by studying the details of this
ORIEFLY the president achieved this victory by threatening
radical action by threatening a sharp turn to the left,
which he could have taken with the powers congress had, at the
beginning of his administration, granted him, and then in re
turn for concessions, adopting a middle course, in other words
effecting a compromise, satisfactory to both sides, because neith
er could accept the only alternative to it.
Such action, we believe history will show, is the keynote
of President Roosevelt's political strategy, and reflects the es
sential quality of his character.
F. D. is not a T. R. He may reach for the big stick as he
undoubtedly did in this instance but he will never use it. That
isn't his way. Jumping over'the breastworks, and crushing the
enemy with flags flying and the big guns booming, he relegates
to the story books, and to that school of political dramatics,
which his famous relative and predecessor, so picturesquely ex
emplified. F. D. doesn't use his fists. He does, Ave repeat, use
his head.
GO as long as Franklin Roosevelt is president, we need fear no
radical, drastic, revolutionary action. President Roosevelt
has certain definite ideas as to what should be done, and he
intends to do them, as far as it is possible but not suddenly,
dramatically or drastically. Not by frontal attack, not by
crushing the opposition.
He intends to reach his objective, not by a straight line, but
a curved one, the curve being determined by the offsetting
stresses of radical forces on one side, and the conservative forces
on the other. x
He may throaten to go sharply to the left, ho may, if political

poriani proDiems, on me agenda
It will not be revolution, neither will it strictly speaking be
evolution. It will be slower than the first and faster than the
second. It will be, fundamentally, picking the way slowly but
surely to a better order of things, a better and fairer set-up
for the average man under shrewdly intelligent, but essentinlly
conservative leadership.
At least that is the true nature of the New Deal as we see it,
and speaking for ourselves, we get a big bang out of seeing the
wheels g o round, and this new

TPO return to the strike settlement. As before stated this
wasn't a controversy over hours, wages or working condi
tions it was in reality an attempt on the part of the American
Federation of Labor to unionize the automobile industry, and
the determination of tho lenders of the industry to prevent it.
The settlement of this issue is all either side really cared about.
The result as above stated is not a definite settlement but a
compromise. The workers are to be given an opportunity to
vote, for what they wish, as far as such unionization is con
cerned, A permanent committee is to be appointed to rule on
all issues between capital and labor, particularly on the charges
of discrimination against workers who wish A. F. L. affiliation.
yiUS doesn't settle the issue, but it delays the inevitable show-
down. If a majority of the workers should vote for A. F. L.
control, the executives will nevor accept it; if they don't, the A.
F. L. will never accept THAT, but will continue to work toward

successfully averted, a labor war that well might have plunged
this country into chaos and confusion, has been avoided, and
for the time being at least, the train of national recovery can go
on frU steam ahead.
TpiIE president undoubtedly accomplished this result by
threatening to use the extraordinary powers congress grant
ed him in tho Industrial Recovery Act, which would allow hiin
to invoke the licensing section, and administer tho affairs of tho
automobile industry HIMSELF, thus bringing both sides of the
controversy to time, and ready to make concessions
And then he joined together these concessions in such a way,
that a working agreement could be reached, without resorting
to such drastio aotion.

THE MEDICINE CUPBOARD
I have never Men a store or ready
made medicine cabinet or first aid
kit that was not a handsome package
and as useful as
:H$m a hip pocket In a
f hlVfr TVi II ft
Public Health
Service issued a
ponderous tome
which contained
explicit instruc
tions for prepar
ing and using a
first aid medi
cine outfit, but
hard times came
on and few could
afford to Invest
trailers, so the
federal effort proved a flop.
For hi own assurance, every tour
ist should equip himself with some
sort of emergency kit which can be
carried constantly In his car, his
bag or his pocket. It is Impossible
to suggest precisely what Items should
be Included In such a kit the con
tents vary with the character of the
country and the type of emergency
likely to occur. For Instance, It would
be silly to carry a package of antl
venln (antidote for snakebite) If ono
Is not going Into a region where
rattlesnakes or ot h e r venomous
snakes occur. It Is not necessary to
have any means of disinfecting water
for drinking purposes If one is tour
ing from city to city to town to town
not if the water Is fit for the resi
dents to drink.
A monograph giving brief practical
directions for equipping and using a
"Pocket Emergency Kit" will be sent
any reader who asks for It and in
closes stamped envelope bearing his
or her address.
What remedies should be kept In
the family or domestic medicine cup
board and how should they be used
In minor Illnesses or in more serious
sicknesses under medical care?
I suppose every doctor has his own
Ideas about this. On certain items
we can all agree, but on others there
are differences of opinion.

dust floats In the air and for a time

ore are called wool green, wool yel

Answer I cannot advise without

not more harmful than ordinary
dust.
So There Are Capillaries?
Your discovery that "there ain't no

Glycerin.
I was advised by a beauty special
ist never to use glycerin on my face
as it grows hairs. Mrs. O. J.
Answer If that were only true I'd
try some glycerin on my dome. Only
weak solution of glycerin should be
used on the skin, for too much irri
tates and makes the skin harsh,
whereas, in many instances . a very
little, a few drops to the ounce of
lotion, helps to keep the skin smooth
and soft.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YOU'VE heard, of course, this tale
the park rangers tell of the bears
that come furtively, like the wild
things they are, up to the boundary
of Crater Lake park, and the moment
they step over It Into the safety of
Uncle Sam' protection become non
chalant, assured and easy of man
ner. W. W. Wilson, of Portland, tells
this writer another bear tale that la
at least worth repeating.
MR. WILSON'S father and mother
were the first white couple to
be married In Klamath Falls, whlcti
then was Llnkvllle, and since In that
early day It was In 1871 Jackson
ville waa the county seat, he had to
go over to Jacksonville to get his mar
riage license.
ANYWAY, Mr. Wilson his name
was Simpson Wilson arose brlglit
and early one morning and, with a
companion, set off on horseback for
the county seat.
8omewhere beyond Keno, hla son
doesn't know exactly where, the road
forked, and by chance they took the
right fork. Looking across to the
other fork a little later, they beheld
a war party of Modocs. So luck was
with them at the start, you see.
They kept on at a lively pace, and
by night they reached a apot some
where to the west of whst la now
Lincoln. Here they made camp for
the night.
THEY turned their horses loose to
graze, cooked a frugal aupper and
in the course of time turned In for
the night, removing their pants and
shirts and going to bed in their under.
wear whether red flannel or not, Mr.
Wilson doesn't know.
Having good consciences, they went
Immediately to sleep, but some time
along In the night Mr. Wilson awoke,
and In the flickering light of the
dying fire he beheld almost upon
him, it seemed a bear that appeared
to be about the size of Mt. Pitt.
He let oft a startled whoop, and
made a wild leap for th nearest
tree and shinned up It expertly. His
companion followed with equal skin.
THEY got as far 'as the first limb,
and there, they perched. By this
time, they remembered their guns
quite cloarly, although In that startled
moment of seeing the bear they'd
forgotten them entirely.
But the guns were leaning up
against another tree, at quite a dis
tance, and there was the bear, look
ing dark and Ill-humored and alto
gether forbidding In the half light.
So they clung to the limb and hoped
fervently the bear dl.ln't remember
that he had spikes In his boqta and
so could climb a tree it he wished.
REMEMBER, plesse, they had gone
to bed In their underwear, and
had left without pausing to make a
toilet. And add to this the further
fact that It was esrly In th spring,
and th nlghta were sharp.
You can Imagine, under thea cir
cumstances, that It waan't altogether
pleasant on that limb. But they had
a notion that it would be by no means
pleasant down there in tha company
of th bear which aesmed a per
sistent cuss, not at all Inclined to
wander off Into th brush.
So they stayed on the limb ana
ehlvered.
CAME, at last, the dawn aa they
used to say In tha movie titles.
And by the wan light of th early
dawn, creeping over the cold auramlt
of Parker mountain, they got a good
look at the persistent bear that had
lurked there In th shadows all the
long, cold night.
The bear waa a blackened stumpl
WHAT a lot of 'kidding Mr. Wilson
must have had to face when he
got back from Jacksonville, with his
marriage license, and the tale got
spread around.
