Three Cheers for the Debaters ATHLETICS, we often hear, are. over-emphasized.' We are not so sure about that. We believe it more likely that learning is UNDER emphasized. Take football, for example. It's a great game. This paper has often said so in this column, and praised the fine high school teams that excellent coaching has produced. Football develops the body, self reliance, character. We would dislike to see it enjoy less popularity and less public support, than it does today. The game, as we 'see it, is from every standpoint, worth while. Yet, as education is or should be preparation for life, football is not nearly as important, in that preparation, as de bating. Yet who ever heard of a cheering section at an interschool debate, or a city celebration after a debating victory t We take the keenest interest in the training of a football team, and go wild over a football victory; but who cares about the training of a debating team, and what victorious debating team was ever met at the train with a brass band! We don't wish to see football played down, but we do believe it would be a fine idea to play debating UP. In other words attain a better balance, between what is commonly known as brawn and brain. OUR attention has been called to this subject by the an nouncement from Eugene yesterday that the Medford high school debate team, coached by Ralph Bailey, Will AGAIN represent the western half of Oregon in the f inula of tlie high school debate league. That announcement was under a small bead on the last page. Yet Medford 's debating record under Mr. Bailey, has really been as remarkable and outstanding as the football record, of which we are all so proud. We are not asking that Coach Bailey be presented with a new air-flow ear, or that the members of the debating team be given gold gavels to wear on their watch chains (or their vanity bags 1) but we ARE suggesting that a few rousing cheers for Medford's debating coach and his ora torical charges are decidedly in order, and the Mail Tribune herewith proceeds to give them. EDUCATION is a preparation for life. Well there is nothing more valuable in life than a well trained mind, and the ability to think clearly, under stress, and express oneself clearly in a crowd. It might be termed the motive power to distinction. Well that is whal debating does. And wo doubt if there is a high school coach in the state, who has shown more rcmark- 'able ability, in developing these Mr. Ralph Bailey. So all honor debating team ! NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.Mclntyre NEW YORK, April 36 The quick bound ol the red-headed Detroit choir boy, Joe Penhor to pinnacles of stage and radio fame has done more to hearten the performer than anything during the depression. A small-time artlat, knocking about in the uncer tainty of split weeka and aleeper Jumps, he Is to day ahogun of his profession. When he Jump ed from a ioo- a-weok radio performer vo a salary of 860 a week he had reached a peak beyond his wildest Imagination. That It should, In a very short space, bal loon to $8000 a week, plus his equally enormous stage earnings, becomes the greatest salary phenomenon known to show business. Just his crazy line, "Wanna buy a duck?" caused two toy factories to drop standard outputs to turn out toy ducks of every dosrription. The odd thu g Is that hit. uppo.tl was de signed almoat solely for children. No one thought of It catching the en huslMm of the adult mind.

RECKLESS INDULGES CB IN PAIN-KILLERS As long as one Individual or cor poration owns a patent on anything the owner has a monopoly and can exact a high price for the product. But after the patent expires anybody can make and sell the product, and the price then falls, from com petition. Some people who believe In fairies take a dose of aspirin whenever they feel at all out of sorts, tired, worried, restless. In pain, or whenever they have general ma laise and believe they are coming down with some Illness. These peo ple seem to regard the pain-killer as ,a kind of panacea for human Ills. Personally, I like a good shot of aspirin myself once In a decade or so. But before I have the courage to Ingest It I've got to be feeling pretty darn awful not Just anxious or worried, but in real misery. Then I thank the modern science that brought a benlflcent analgesic Into the world. If there Is any medicine that will relieve the aches of an acute feverish illness more promptly and more safely than aspirin does, I have not heard of It. At the same time I'd much prefer to put up with the mild discomfort of an ache or pain or distress of any kind that does not actually disable, than to dope myself with aspirin or any other paln-klller and. try to "keep going." Here Is-where so many people make a serious mistake, and in some in stances It proves a fatal mistake. It Is a serious mistake In any case to attempt to kill the ache or pain or other unpleasant symptoms of ma laise that commonly announce the onset of crl by dosing with any such drug and trying to "fight It off." You idiot, that Isn't fighting; that's sur rendering and handing over your wea. pons. If you mean really to put up a fight against the on-coming or "threatening" Illness, be It "grip. "flu," pneumonia, coryza or heaven only knows what, you'll lay aside all minor considerations and give your self a break by hopping straight Into bed to see It through. Ace tan! lid Is another coaltar deriv ative, an older and cheaper one than aspirin, that Is the sense-deadening Ingredient In dozens of nostrums sold to the public as "cold" cures, head ache and neuralgia cures, rheumatism cures, cures for fatigue, the blues or Iff L- ALMOST every other car on the ' market is selling at substantially higher prices today than last year. But Studebaker prices are $155 to 620 lower! And the new 1934 Stu debakers are finer cars in every way than the finest that Studebaker offered in former years. They're magnificently streamlined. Built like battleships of seamless steel reinforced by steel. They're so roomy that six grown-ups are easily accommodated in the sedans. Studcbaker's own million-dollar development, Quadripoise Suspen sion, cradles the action of all four wheels at all speeds and on all roads.

There are many rec ords of death from poisoning by thews "harmless" nostrums, either from overdose or from chronic habitual In dulgence. Both aspirin and acetan llld have their addicts. , One popular nostrum containing a full dose of ace tan i lid In every spoon ful Is Indiscriminately sold at soda fountains and freely Indulged In by people who believe In fairies, for everything from bilious feeling to brain-fag. A middle-aged business man who should have known better but was such an Insufferable wl&acre that no one could tell him anything, was in the habit of Indulging In this soda fountain dope quit regularly. He was an addict. He craved more and more of the acetanlllde to benumb the die agreeable feelings left after the list dose had worn away. Finally he took one extra large dose on retiring, and three or four hours later his family found him dead, deeply cyanajed (black and blue), as are most vic tims of acetanilld poisoning.

Now If JAPAN ALSO will keep hands off China, a great forward step In world progress will have been taken. VISCOUNT CECIL, speaking In London, says: "The way to prevent Germany from rearming to the teeth Is for the Brlt Utfi and French to honor their .Ver sailles and Locarno treaty promises." THAT Is to say. the way to get Germany to keep her word Is for her enemies to keep THEIR word. Sounds reasonable, doesn't It? A STILL better way would have been, when Germany was al most wholly disarmed, following the war, for England and France and the rest of the nations to have disarmed similarly. Think what a lot of money would have been , saved for taxpayers all over t,he world If that had been done. TEN high school girls. In Topeka, Kansas, who administered a spanking to another high school girl because she violated & school tradi tion and had a date at a basketball game, must pay $2500 In damages, a federal Jury decides. 'Just how old do you suppose the members of that Jury are? T.hey must at least be getting far enough along In years to have lost touch with youth and the things youth thinks about. THE girl who was spanked had It coming to her, according to the rules of the game, and besides it Is probable that the spanking did her no harm. The pity of It Is that she lacked the sportsmanship to take her spank ing and laugh about it. Good sportsmanship Is really a rather valuable possession. YOUNG people often do curious things, and think in curious ways. For example, three University of Washington students were arrested up In Seattle the other day when they were caught posting placards Jinest Studebakers built before SKYWAY COMES THEIR STYLE heralding the appearance of commun 1st speakers. Communist speakers advocat de struction of the system that in this country has built more colleges than the world ever knew before and has made It possible for more young peo ple to go to college than ever before In history. SPEAKING of thinking, a man who had always been busy with a mass of detail got a better Job a while back, and found that In this better Job he had several hours of comparative leisure each day. He complained to his employer. ; "About half the time," ihe said, "I j have nothing to do but sit here In ! my office and THINK." I "That's quite all right," his em ployer responded, "as long as you THINK ABOUT THIS BUSINESS." ABOUT every business thatj has got along way ahead In this world has done so because somebody had the time to sit and do a lot of thinking about It. IF YOU are able to think, and think straight and to the point, you are worth quite a lot to the world. If you AREN'T able to think, you are Just another cog In the wheel.
