The city council of Portland 1 con' templatlng an ordinance, which pro vides among other thing-, that "pretty little girls will not be al lowed to dance among the patrona or beer placee, nor alt on -the laps of tired business men In public." If the tired business man la aa tired as he claims to be, why don't he go home, or some other place suitable for rest? Nature has started to curb crop production, In these parts, In her own distinctive style and rugged manner. Nature was restricting crop production before the government thought of It, as a means of creating ri-osperlty. . and furthermore, wlthovv-j (he aid of a college professor, or the alphabet. There la considerable offhand cussing of both agencies. The all-around efficiency and gen eral worth ot the state police has at last, as long expected, proven too much for upstate thinkers, who now propose Its abolishment. The charge la made that the organization does not earn Its salt, and duplicates the worlc of the sheriff. There- Is this much about the notion: If It had not been for the state police, thli county, by tnla time, would be offer ing a reward for the return ot Its courthouse, and no questions asked. ' Judge Colvlg, 80, returned from Portland, end Is as well as could be expected, after watching the Portland ball team try to play for a week. ... The New Jersey pants presser, sen tenced to 30 days In Jail, and fined 100, for charging a nickel less than the NRA code specified for creasing trousers, probably takes no stock in the fevered speeches of administra tion leaders, denying there Is any In tention ot establishing a dictatorship. . A friend requests that we print the first name if his wife, and "tease her." He can do his own teasing, j and his own running, . . The Newberg Graphic devotes about a foot of apace on its editorial pago. to elucidating the aubject: "And, What Is a Republican?" Approxi mately ten Inches of space could have been saved by simply stating: A Republican Is a citlren who for got to get mad at Hoover In 1033. . J. Kort Hall, the horticulturist, Is atlll worrying about a number of things that will never happen. It la a custom with him to have his Dally Dosen Frets. His outstanding fret was fretted more than 30 years ago, to the effect thst "In five years there would be no fish In Rogvie river." He also once scorned the idea that the "tractor would ever displace the horse." No. 1 Bandit John Dllllnger and gang of associate cut-throata has again vanished, aa if swallowed by the earth. HI elualveneas Is puzzling and disconcerting, and no particular credit to law and order. Besldea endow ment with abnormal bloodthirsty oussedness, he also seems to possess clairvoyant powers, which enables him to keep one or more Jumps ahead of Justice. On at least five occasions the gent had a hunch to depart. Just about the time the posse came around the turn In the road. He la always going out the back door, aa the offic ers open the front gate. There has even been some sympathetic whining In hla behalf. All who have been In his company, alnce he oozed out ot the Crown Point, lnd Jail and causet a slump In the demand for lady aher Iffa, have remarked upon the atu pendouaness of his bankroll. They aay It Is ot sufficient size to chore a horse, or cow. And, therein lies most likely the secret of Mr. Dlllln ger's knack of having the earth swal low him. The Dllllnger bankroll Is bigger than the reward, and the hosts would rather have hold of the bank roll, or a portion thereof, than any part of Mr. DIUInger. When captured .--dead or alive It will be discovered John la broke. . A 1 Coinage of Daniel Boone half-dollar coins, which would be sold at a premium, has been proposed for fin ancing Kentucky's bl-centennlal cele bration In honor of t.'ic famous pio neer's arrival In that state, Rufus Holman - QEVERAL days ago an upstate grange asked Rufus Holman to cither resign as state treasurer, or as candidate for gov ernor. It uid not like the idea two offices at the same time. Yesterday the' redoubtable which took the form of an emphatic "no!" Not only will Rufus refuse to resign one office until he is elected to the other, but following his coronation as governor he will appoint his own successor as state treasurer, for only thus can the Holman principles "of progressive government, which have been so long delayed, "Any other action," observes the great Apostle of political righteousness "would be playing right into the hands of the power trust, other selfish interests and my political enemies, and thereby would tend to defeat the entire purpose of my election." . ' THERE, ladies and gentlemen, you HAVE Mr. Rufus Holman ! Anrl Via man anrnnllv TtFTTKVF.S it f OTHERS may have their doubts of the greatness and jndis pensibility of Rufus Holman, but NOT Rufus Holmdn. The present State Treasurer is CONVINCED that if he should resign and take his chances on getting another job, as governor, (as an ordinary human being might do) the state of Oregon would go into a fatal tailspin AT ONCE. If he could have his way he would not only hold two state offices at once, he would hold ALIi of them for he is convinced he is not only the most able and honest man the ONLY one. , THIS has always been Mr. Holman's belief.

Via fftftlr thft nlflf.fi v ..... j.. t Y .v . - , -.- x of the most efficient state treasurer in Oregon's history, Tom Kay, a finer, squarer, public official never lived. But did Rufus take the time to pay his predecessor a passing tribute, even hint that he would uphold the policies and principles of his predecessor so suddenly taken by death t No. At that solemn hour Rufus, as usual, ONLY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF, and how fortunate the state was to have a man, as honest and efficient and progressive as he, to handle its finances. RUFUS HOLMAN,- if psycho, analyzed, would probably be classified as an Egocentrio Introvert. He suffers from delusions of persecution and delusions of grandeur. No one can convince him the Power Trust is not constantly on the warpath to do him in; no one can convince him, that if he should fail to win whatever political race he may enter, that all the forces of righteousness and fair dealing, would NOT go down with him. Such supreme self confidence, such collosal egotism is con tagious. A man who believes so thoroughly and exclusively in himself, can't fail but impress others particularly those who are not politically sophisticated, and who ARE IMPRESSION ABLE. And that in the last analysis is the secret of Rufus Holman's strength. What Should Be Done? THE conviction that recovery is being held back is the basis of the outcry against the "brain trust", and the reason why, in spite of the collapse of Dr. Wirt 'a charges, the "brain trust" is increasingly unpopular. It is also the cause of the inflationist Sentiment in congress. That sentiment expresses the view that the depression is due primarily to a derangement of money, which has destroyed prices and profits, and not, as AAA and NRA imply, to a lack of "planning" and control in the economic structure. ; . . The administration has been acting on both theories. It has a monetary policy which tends to raise general prices, to restore profits, and to stimulate enterprise. It has a policy of regimen tation, which raises prices here and there but in no intelligent relation to other prices, which obstructs profits and discourages entorpriso. The two policies are now grinding one against the other. THIS conflict has to be solved. J.I is the main business before the country, before congress, and before the administration. There are three possible ways in which it can be resolved. Tho regimentation could be redoubled and reinforced and the at tempt made to run agriculture and industry under government control. This is the direction indicated by the Bankhead cotton bill. To take this road is, however, impossible. Congress would not permit it. The country would not tolerate it. Tho admin istration does not desire it. The second way is the one that congress is threatening to use. It consist in imposing upon tho banking system an inflation of sufficient power to overcome tho inertia of all the restrictive measures. This is a dangerous and disorderly way to reach a sound objective. The third way is for tho administration itself to release enterprise by abandon ing some of tho measures that constrict it and by revising others. This is the way of common sense. 1 FOR the monetary policy as now set up, supplemented as occa sion demands by the use of the powers the president already possesses, is a most powerful engine for recovery if only it is permitted to operate. It can creato immense supplies of new money provided channels are opened through which new money can flow into industry. It would be the height of folly not to use it when, by using it intelligently, as the British are doing with a similar monetary engine, it is almost certainly possible to bring back to tho people work, security, and peaco of mind. To do this is in no sense to abandon the hopes of tho "new deal." For, as tho president himself has frequently said, all the particular devices of tho past year are purely experimental and should bo modified when they do not work. Experience has now shown that some of them thwart enterprise and retard recovery. Thoso devices ought without the slightest compunction to be revised so that they will not thwart enterprise and retard recov ery. Walter Lippniann in N. Y, Herald Tribune.

HOW TO ENJOY A G First, you must have a clear con science, or none. Second, it Is essential that you de vote at least an hour or better several hours day to some form of honest work, that is, working with your mus cles, and It does- n't matter whether this .shall consist of scrubbing the floors, sweeping, doing the wash ing, ironing, painting the porch, building a dog kennel, spad ing the garden, shoveling the side walk, skating, playing baseball, walk ing to the office or doing the La.it Braay symphony or swimming or working out In the gymnasium, or running or hiking. Anything to make you healthily tired. If the exerciaa Is taken out In the "air, sun, wind, snow, heat, cold or rain, It is all the better medicine. Is it not so? Third, unless you are already over weight, It Is 'well to take a bedtime snack If you retire more than three hours after your . regular evening meal. This night lunch may be any thing that appeals to your taste, ex cept alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, cocoa or choloate. Any food or com bination of foods that you like or dinarily and digest ordinarily will be quite suitable for the sleeping ra tion. Don t pass up a treat Just be cause some old duffer Imagines this and that Is "Indigestible" or causes nightmare. If you are already over- nourished, or under-worked which amounts to the same thing prac tically you stuff In additional fuel at bedtime at your own peril and who cares about your peril anyway? Fourth, have sleeping equipment that allures rather than the uncom fortable bed that makes a night's res; impossible. Fifth, to bathe or not to bathe be fore retiring Is a purely individual question. Do as you like or as you feel about that. Sixth, be thankful if and when you can have cool air, and If pu3- slble moving air, to sleep In, of course with comfortable covers to keep you warm. On stormy nights the un bleached muslin window screen will provide Ideal ventilation. On very hot, still nights an electric fan Is a blessing, that is, If you are not super stitious about the refreshing draft. Seventh, say your prayers and slip Into bed. Do your belly breathing ex- I erclse. When this is done, set your-1 self to spy out subconsciousness.

Not many New York husbands, the dears, are to be left alone with the dog and Ice - box while wives and chlld- dren go holiday ing this summer.

Trie ma jority who set aside a vacation fund are using It for Income taxeiv But the na tional 111 wind blows e x cellent for nearby re sorts of Long Isittnd and Jersey over the week-end. Generally speaking. New York will take Its vacation in small sporadic doses. Already second rate country Inns nearby with wain scoted parlors, evening fires And ten things arc popular. One of the twists of the times is the enormous increase in bicycling parties on Saturday and Sunday, This too, is the time of year when tho private mansions on the upper East Side are boarded. The only show of life was the plpe-pufflng Janitor in an area way at sundown. Scarcely a dozen of these homes are eo shuttered this summer. A real estate expert discovers that six years ago only 18 per cent of the occu pants of apartment houses on Park and upper Fifth avenue remained In town during the hot months. This summer 80 per cent will remain. Roxy seems to have leaped from a frying pan Into a bed of soft coul roses. His 1100.000 a year salary hid been shaved to half that amount plus the bedevilmenu of internal strife Today his moving picture house en gagements are netting 13.000 a week for himself.

Your article regarding the action of sugar on a tired-out person prompts me to ask Why I get a headache If I take any sugar -on such an occasion, whereas, If I take some food con taining starch but no sugar, It re freshes me and satisfies me and gives me no neaaacner n. 1. u. Answer I give up. Only explana tion that occurs to me Is that you have some peculiar obsession against sugar. Sugar Is the easiest of all foods to digest, the most quickly assimilat ed, and the best emergency ration when exhaustion impends and re freshment is needed to enable one to carry on in the effort. Many people whose education has been neglected acquire morbid notions about sugar from the teachings of freaks and fakers. Gravel. In the case of kidney stones or gravel la It better to remain in bed or to have plenty of physical exer cise while they are passing? Mrs. O. V. N. Answer If there Is not too great pain It Is better to keep reasonably active and get a fair amount of gen eral exercise dally. Pure Milk. Our four children range from 15 years to 15 months. We get raw milk for the baby, and so-and-so's Vitamin D milk for the rest of the children. Is this better than raw milk? I stilt give the baby cod liver oil, and he gets -his sun bath every day. Mrs. C. A. Answer Provided your physician approves the milk, plain raw milk Is best for all the children, I wins. After a year a baby needs no cod liver oil, as a rule. (Copyright, 134, John F.

Pole, NiJInsky, premier dancer of the Russian Imperial ballet, resulted from Intimate details of his tragic life in the recent exciting biography penned by his devoted wife. NiJInsky, upon whom the black curtain of" forgetful ness fell at 30, has been for 15 years In a Swiss retreat, alternating star ing out of a window blankly at the bleak Alpine world about htm and penciling pad after pad with queer meaningless whorls and arabesques. I was one of those press agents, fresh every hour, at the Hotel Ma jestic where NiJInsky, as did Pavlowa. lived during New York triumphs. He was then a young man in his 20's. strikingly noticeable because of a panther tread and the Mongolian obliquity of his eyes. The graceful and esthetic nature of his art made him apear unusually efteminate. When he ran up or down stairs it suggested a swan float. He was the first person I ever saw hatless on the street. I talked to him frequently. He was then. I have learned, showing mild symptoms of his mental afflic tion. Although I thought his strange ness due solely to the bewilderment of a foreign land and the vast gulf In our conversational medium, He spoke only Russian and French, with a few worda of English. It so happened I breakfasted in the hotel grill each morning at 11, about six table removed from Pavlowa, I recall her beautiful Boston. But most vivid of all memories was a time she was excitedly called from the table by some bloused and booted moujlk aside, with a movie beard, and in her haste tripped slightly on a doorslll. That la something to tell the grand children. Old Pappy saw Pavlowa stub her toel When the blods in our lown got all rum led up for a dance their costume was called a full dress suit. In Cin cinnati later they were called evening clothes. Then In New York merely "tails." Now someone calls me to come to dinner nd says: "White tie." I have a notion to go wearing only that.

(Associated Press Photo- Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. WHEN you go to bed, do you go to sleep at once as soon as you 'hit the hay," to use a familiar ex pression or do you lie awake for any where from a half hour to HOURS? IF YOU go to sleep at once, you're physically lucky. But If you have to count sheep. fir repeat over and over some sooth ing phrase, or concentrate deter minedly on making your mind a total blank, in order to get to sleep, It's a sign that MENTALLY you're above the average. - At least that's what the scientists tell us, and the scientists are sup posed to know everything. IT WORKS like this: 1 If you aren't much of a thinker that is, If you are more active physically than mentally your mind Is at rest when you go to bed, and you drop off to sleep quickly. But if you ARE a thinker, If your mind is working constantly at some problem or other, your mind ISN'T at rest when you go to bed, and this mental restlessness keeps you awake. NAPOLEON, you know. Is supposed to have slept only about four houis out of the 24 not, probably, because he didn't need more sleep, but because his mind was so busy going over schemes of various sorts that he couldn't get to sleep. T UT, If you don't get to sleep U easily, don't Jump too quickly to the conclusion that you're a mental marvel. It may be only a NERVOUS STOM ACH that keeps you awake. Diagnosticians tell us that nervous stomachs are responsible for a lot of the sleeplessness that curses humanity.' NERVOUS stomachs are pretty apt to be the result of over-eating, or wrong eating and neither over eating nor wrong eating,- you know, is anything to be particularly proud of. YOU are familiar, of course, with the goose-bone prophets, who pre dict the weather by watching the conduct of Insects, birds and animals. Most of us laugh at them, but there's really a little more to their prophecies than we generally give them credit for. IT'S AN old saying, you know that when swallows fly low, rain may be expected. Swallows feed on Insects In the air, and when rain Is coming Insect fly lower to escape the coldness of the upper air that precedes a rainstorm. But that way, the swallow predic tion sounds ressonable. HORSES and oUtl. as you've always heard and may have ob served, stretch their necks and sniff MAY SALT Cur nlll be nn truck April ?7 and UR.

And when birds cease to sing, rain, or perhaps a thunder storm may be expected. Birds, more sensitive than humans, feel the changes In atmos pheric pressure that precede a storm, and are depressed by these changes. THESE signs, of course, refer to short-range weather predictions, and have sound reasons back of them. It Is pretty generally agreed that all long-range weather predictions are frauds. OF The political pot In Jackson county has started to simmer and candi dates and their workers have started Intensive hand shaking, card distrib uting and general campaign- activi ties. It is expected that within the next ten days the oratorical stage will be reached and the first of the stump talks broadcast. To date, most of the campaigning has been confined to the rural areas wlt,h house to house visitations. A political meeting is scheduled for to night at Talent with Henrietta B. Martin as the chairman, and Attor ney A. C. Hough of Grants Pass, cir cuit Judge candidate, and Amos Walker, candidate for sheriff, pres ent. Hough and Walker were among the candidates endorsed by the re vived "Good Government Congress" at a recent meeting. State Treasurer Rufus C. Holman; Republican candidate for governor, is scheduled to Invade southern Oregon within the next two weeks and make a speech. Treasurer Holman has been advised he has 6000 votes in this county. Holman recently denied the report he would pardon L. A. Bnnks and Earl H. Fchl, former lo cal agitators, serving state prison terms 'or murder and vote stealing. Political gossips hint that Holman will be asked by his strongest sup porters hero to issue a more em phatic "no" on this question. Other gubernatorial aspirants are scheduled to follow the state treas urer into this section in the quest of votes. ' As usual in political maneuvers, canards are abroad, one being "if the county audit was made public It would set the county afire." The audit is on file in the court house and can be seen by anyone. There is nothing secret about It. Voters con fronted with this canard are request ed by county officials and others to Inspect it and see for thems'.vea. The school relief sales tax holds the center of Interest for local voters, and Is scheduled to become warmer within the next month.
