The proposed establishment of a Nudist colony on the Oregon coast, is a very fine Idea. It should prosper, due to the well known Oregonlan trait of Joining anything once no matter how nutty. At the same time, It will give a large proportion of the upstate population something to do, when not running for office. Besides traveling naked through the brush trying to kill a blue J ay with a bow and arrow, might give them a chorus girl figure, for the next campaign, t . n,.. of the nudist colony Is! to provide healthier bodies, by more fresh air, which they can get just as well with their, clothes on. A WaU street financier testified ' Saturday, before a senate committee, be made $19,000,000 in 1920. He talked frankly and candidly, and left the Impression he waa mod because It wasn't .20,000,000. The UofO, co-ed and Frosh Bolshe vik!, who objects to the constitution because of Its age, and "I can't eat It, or 1 can't wear It", returned Mon day to her Intellectual drudgery and study of the Russian folk dance. This olty, which has never furnished high er education anything but a half doeen rugged footballlsta, may yet com. to the fore, with a campus com munist of all-coaat wlldneaa. Lying took a spurt last week, and everybody that somebody didn't like, waa put In jail at least twice, FINICKY PIONEERS (Pendleton Ka.it Oregonlan) It la reported that a man waa killed In Lake Valley, New Mexico recently for wearing a medal on his breast and having a fob dang ling from the end of his suspend . era. A candy pulling waa well at . tended and enjoyed last Tuoaday evening at Mrs, LaDow's, . Your corr, took a new hat away from Bmroett Nealon the last of the week, betting on the weather. He could not have been skinned any neater or faster, It he had met up with a professional friend of the far mer from Portland. O. Strang, the pioneer pllllst, la celebrating 10 years in business here. Ho recalls many vivid Incidents of hla career, Including the time, 30 years ago, that a "business engineer" surveyed him, and brought in a ver dict that he lacked "aggressive effici ency." Mr. Strang can't remember the exact date In March, 1684, he opened tor business, but still retains the kev tn tha frnnt riiwr A.I.4. rmm thia smirch on hia efficiency, he haa i done wen, despite the fact that burg lars have kicked In his back door more times than the E. C. Faber store at Central Point has been robbed. It is now harder to broak Into either place, than to emerge from the state penitentiary unexpectedly. The gubernatorial aspirations of Mayor Mahoncy of Klamath Falls, were slightly gummed up by the ln-dlct-nent of three of his police ap pointments, Including the chief of police, for diverting charity funds for his campaign gadding, and to buy him a wrlstwatch. The mayor has been described as "colorful." It's all right to be colorful, but don't get caught at It, or be too much so. The "color" waa furnished by the three accused, but the self-starting Demo cratic candidate received the benefits, and the wrlstwatch. He waa quite "colorful" after the newa became public, and waa considerably cha grined at the cooking of his political goose, on such short notice. It will probably come out that the sad event was Just some more plotting by the "power trust." Mr. Mahoney haa fre quently reported to the voters that the "moneyed interests" were chasing him. it Is too bad they did not catch him. The campaign war chest would be full, the three policemen would still be on their beats, and the char ity fund would be Intact. The hero would have no wrlstwatch, but he would have no explaining to do. It all goes to prove that Jackson county has no corner on picturesque and l eugnuy criminal poiiucai messes. Whangdoodle COMEONE has been spoofing the eminent Dr. 'William A. Wirt of Gary, Indiana, A few daya ago Dr. Wirt announced that raen'bera of Roose velt's brain trust were boring from within to foment a com munistic revolution, and that in the opinion of one of the brain trustors Roosevelt is the Kerensky to be followed by a Stalin. Such a charge, of course, is palpably absurd. yHERE may be THEORETICAL communists among the brain trusters, you can find them scattered here and there among the American intelligenzia, in all parts of the country. It is even possible that some did PRIVATELY make the statement that in his opjnion Roose velt would prove to be the revolution. If so, the statement was purely academic. t But that is very different from declaring that the brain trusters are boring from within tion, and plotting to oust President Roosevelt and replace him with a Stalin, TriE brain trusters are undoubtedly an advanced and realistic group of thinkers. They realize that the socalled New Deal is another "noble experiment" which may or may not, prove successful in bringing this country out of its tailspin. But we feel sure there is no question of the loyalty of the brain trusters to the president, or the sincerity of their efforts, to make his administration a success, both from the standpoint of regaining prosperity and of sustaining the capitalistic system. We know nothing about Dr. Wirt except that he is the origi nator and successful administrator of the Gary public school sys tem. But when all the facts are known, we wager it will be evident to all thinking people, that the erudite doctor has had his leg pulled by some man, or group of men, with a political axe to grind. FINDING a brain truster with communistic leanings, and there MAT be some would be swell campaign material for the approaching congressional elections. But it would no more establish the fact that a red revolution is brewing, among the president's advisers in Washington, than it would prove the moon is made of green cheese. The important thing in politics, however, is not what is true, but what the people can be made to believe or to fear. , Maintaining such a charge is on its face absurd, is far from maintaining that Dr. "Wirt's evidence before the congressional committee will not make some votes for the Republican party. No Red "W w ...u .,. xu AI a cuu 1 BS'C0 ",UD0 Deal fails, if conditions (which Hoaven forbid I) this country will go the way of Russia. Suoh prophets, to our mind, of this country. It is, when all is said and done, essentially a business man's country, that is a middle class country. Or to adopt the accepted term in revolutionary circles, it is funda mentally bourgeoisie. Russia was, and is, precisely the reverse. Strictly speaking it has no middle class, and had none. It was essentially primi tive and agricultural, ruled under the Czar by a bureau of aristi crats; ruled undor Stalin by a bureau of workers or prole tarians, in both cases a tyrannical autocracy, and minority, ruling the majority. There can be no duplication of the Russian picture over here. A SSUME, for the sake of argument,' that conditions do be oome worse, that widespread strikes are called, that dis orders break out; that some man on horseback (or in an armored car) appears, waving a red flag, ready to lead hia armed forces on Washington and seize the government. . What will happen t What will the peoplo of this country.as a whole immediately demand! THEY WILL DEMAND PEACE, THEY WILL DEMAND LAW AND ORDER, THEY WILL DEMAND THAT REVOLU TION BE PUT DOWN. And through their representatives, thoy will oall on the polioe, the national guard, and if necessary the army and navy to put it down. . And it WOULD be put down I v T1T1IAT would happen then T The American people would ' demand a government strong enough to maintain that peace and order, not by fine phrases or stirring appeals, but by force. And what would that be I That certainly would not be com munism. It would of course, be what they have in Italy, Ger many and apparently now in Austria, FASCISM. The peoplo of this country wouldn't be asked to do certain things. They would be told to do them. And if thoy refused f they would be where the enemies of Mussolini, and Hitler, are today. IVJOT a pretty picture. Not what any good American or sane porson, would wish to have. But if the New Deal should fail completely, that is what we predict tho American poople as a who'fl will get. They will choose that before they will tolerate revolution, or choose the form of tyranny which has destroyed thoir "busi ness class" in Russia today, BURKE TO CLEAR HAN'S FIELD PORTLAND, Ore..

WHETHER Tig WISER IN THE JOINTS TO SUFFER. , The controversy concerning the fate of pulpless or so-called "dead" teeth goes furiously on, and to an innocent bystander whose sympathies are now on this and now on that side, It seems that there is hopeless stalemate. Phy sicians appear to be equally di vided on the question of ex t r a c 1 1 n g the pulpless tooth dentists seem as widely separated Personally I'd keep a pulpless tooth as long as It served a purpose, pro vlded I had no trouble which' a good physician ascribed to focal infection Here you see we must make up our own mind what to do. It Is purely a question of opinion. If my dentist told me I had one or more pulpless or "dead" teeth and the teeth were giving me any trouble and not serving any Important pur pose, I should be inclined to have 'em extracted. But not on mere X ray ev Id once alone. No, no, I'd never sacrifice even a "dead" tooth on the showing of an X-ray film. I'd want at least the Independent opinion ol my dentist that the tooth ls infected or damaged by disease beyond reason able hope of repair. In the earlier days of the focal In fection principle In practice (focal Infection Is no theory; It is a well established principle) a good many victims gave up their teeth as offer ings to the great god Guess. Some doctors were so busy that they could take only time to glvo one quick look In the patient's mouth and order him to go to the dentist and have all his teeth pulled. Porty or fifty years ago that was i Old Yankee Custom it was cheaper and less trouble than hav ing the teeth filled or repaired by the dentist if there was a dentist capable of doing so. Probably It was not difficult to persuade people who were adults in the gay nineties to submit to such mutilation tn the childish hope that It would cure their rheumatla, sciatica or other com plaints. They still felt that the spend ing of good money trying to save a few teeth was a bit extravagant, when beautiful sets could be had at bargain prices. It Is still a question In any case whether to extract pulpless or pre sumably infected teeth In the hope of bringing relief to arthritis or other trouble which is attributable to the focus of Infection. The person beat qualified to answer the question In any ense Is the family or attending NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, March 27. E. W. Howe may not lay down his pen after all. At 81 he sang a literary swan song by discontinuing his monthly. And put his house In order for a rest so richly de aerved. But he had no sooner reached his Mi ami cabana than an avalanche of protest descend ed. He must not quit I More than any - time la the history of Ameri ca his steel-trap sanity was needed, the letters declared. And so he Is wavering, I hear. No other American has so Impressed the world from the solitude of a small town. And no one is more bewildered by such reac tion than Ed Howe. To be called back at 81 by a read ing public is something that has hap pened to no other person pursuing the business of writing. I am one of many who hopes he responds. He has proved what so few of us writing real lee; that the common sense point of view tells everything. Years have not worn blm down to the gentle bleakness of most octo genarians. He Is still querulously exigent of potty shams without re signing to thumb twiddling. At 81 he wears a flowing black bow, white flannel trousers and wonders with a wintry smile if Babe Ruth can smack the apple over the garden wall. The gayety of bathrooms haa always been one of my minor enthusiasms. Man regiments his forces for dally battle in the morning bath. I recall house Will Hogg and I rented tn Beverly, opposite Tom Mix's, that had spreading butterfly wings of delicate sheen which one squeezed tn lieu of the ordinary faucet turn. It was, of course, designed by a poet but encompassed an Idea. And now bath rooms have gone suddenly drab. Instead of snow white they are to bacco brown, dull raspberry or even Jet black. Towellnga of brown, navy blue or deep purple add to the gloom. Of all the extravagant baths, the most luxurious was In a new hotel in Amsterdam. As large as the aver age mid-town hotel bedroom, a ther mometer registered the temperatures. A clock and rubber encased telephone were Inset In the wall along with a radio dial. A rack held a celo phaned array of soaps from the un seen ted to the highly per turned the entire lot of which went away from there In my hand bag.

Miss Patch and what a grand name for a secretary I with this method v. ft physician, not the dentist nor any other specialist, tho the regular phy sician will take into consideration the views of these others whose coun sel may have been had. Dr. H. P. Wolf of New York pro poses a fairly simple test to deter mine the advisability or removal of any putative focus of infection. He gives the patient 10 to 15 grains of aspirin. If the joint pain Is not re lieved within an hour the extrac tion of a tooth or the extirpation of the tonsil Is not advised; or If such treatment Is obviously needed the pa tient Is informed that no marked benefit In the arthritis can be ex pected. Regardless of this teat or uncer tainty about the bearing of a focus of Infection In a tonsil, I'd have the tonsil infection cleaned up by dia thermy, and so give myself the benefit of the doubt without taking any. grave risk as one would In under going ordinary tonsil removal by guillotine and snare. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Milk Versus Beer. Kindly give the names of two or more well known physicians or sclen tlsts who claim there Is more nourish ment In milk than In beer. Reader. Answer Help yourself to the names. Y6u can't find a physician or scientist who denies that milk Is more nourishing. Even If we con cede that the beer drinker can utilize all the alcohol in a pint of beer, that Is, oxidize, or burn It to produce heat or energy, as the body utilizes sugar, fat and protein, a pint of milk yields 325 carolles while a pint of beer could yield only 265 or 270 calO' rles at most. Remote Possibility. Is there any truth in the popular belief that a needle or a ateel splinter or filing lodged In the body may travel and ultimately come In con tact with the heart and cause death? Miss G. V. Answer Such sharp objects may travel, but If they do they cause only minor discomfort If any trouble at all. Ouch! Is It Injurious to take a hot shower and gradually diminish the tempera ture of the water to tee cold after strenuous exercise such as handball, track running, etc. Miss R. B. Answer Certainly not If you en- Joy it and feel refreshed after the shower. - (Copyright, 1034, John P. DUle Co.)

The gen eral sales tax Is workable, equitable and productive, according to a sur vey of the tax In five states made by Dr. Arch D. Schutz, research di rector of the Ohio chamber of com merce. "In every case, the tax haa been successful In accomplishing the pur pose for w.hlch it waa enacted' Dr. Schultz reports. "In no case do I find that It has retarded progress of Industry In the states In which It Is In operation," he said. "There is considerable comment to the effect that the sales tax will re sult in governmental economy be cause of the universal practice o merchants In passing on the tax, thus making the entire public tax- conscious." The survey covered Michigan, Illi nois, Indiana, New York and Pennsyl vania. Facta revealed led the Ohio chamber of commerce to draft a model sales tax bill to be recom mended to the Ohio legislature. The chamber's report quotes J. M. Braude, assistant director of the Il linois department of finance: 'Fear was expressed by some of the legislators representing border cities at the time the legislation was In progress that such a tax would drive business out of the. state. This i ear naa hoe oeen oorne out, inas much as the revenue produced In those areas haa been up to expecta tions and comparable with revenues from similar cities otherwise locat ed, and It Is not shown to have de clined in these border cities. Com plaints from border cities have al most entirely disappeared." The treasurer of a large Detroit department store Is quoted as fol-1 lows: "If we must have taxes, the1 sales tax, from our experience so far, j has been the most painless. Gener- j ally speaking, we .have not expert-1 enced any definite sales resistance re-! suiting front this plan." Collection costs of the general ; sales tax are very low, according to the survey. They range from about one to two and a half per cent of 1 the proceeds, a rate much lower I than collection costa of other types of taxes. I E INC OF WASHINGTON, March 37.
