Bolger as president of the Medford Chamber of Commerce unnoticed. During his two terms in that a record for constructive accomplishment, and intelligent leader ship, which, in the opinion of this paper, has never been sur passed in the history of that organization. This record has been all the more remarkable, because it has been made during one of the most severe business depressions in the history of this country INSTEAD of being disheartened by what was nothing less than a widespread financial and of Commerce, under President Bolger 's direction, and the very able assistance of Manager Banwell, seemed stimulated by it. Instead of losing ground as tions did, the Chamber of ominerce, steadily gained, in prestige, accomplishment and membership. During this period the chamber was completely reorganized, not only in what might be called its mechanics, but also and more important its spirit. Instead of being an organization devoted largely to hot air and back-slapping, and thon rejuvenated chamber became an orfeinization of practical busi ness development, ALL THE TIME. And instead of being interested solely in Medford and what might improve Medford, it became interested in the entire county, and what might improve Southern Oregon. The final act of the Bolger administration in fact was the formation of what is ho longer exclusively a city, but is really a COUNTY Chamber of Commerce. It was during this administration that many citizens of the rural districts were first placed on the board of directors, and it was during this administration, that committees were formed to improve rural conditions, and secure development and growth, not in this city, but outside of it. IN other words during this period, Medford was given a Cham ber of Commerce that IS a Chamber of Commerce a wide awake, business like organization, with its head on its shoulders and its feet on the ground, earnestly devoted to the best in terests of this section of the state, industrially, economically, socially. , . It has been a fine record, and one that not only all members of the Chamber of Commerce, but all citizens of the community, may well be proud. In selecting Ben E. Harder the board of directors could not have made a better choice. With Manager Banwell still on the job, with business conditions in Southern Oreeon steadily improving, President Harder, given dent .Bolger was given, can t tan to even bigger and better things., Score One K 1 WE don't know very much about General MacAlexander, the ''rock of the Marne" who is a candidate for the Republi can gubernatorial nomination. , But we like two things he said, in a recent radio address. First, that if he. had his way, no public official would be allowed to run for a second 6tate office, until he resigns the first, and no governor would be allowed to dictate who should sit with him on the state board of control. (This means the general opposes the Holman plan.) Second, that if elected he will see that the people of Oregon are not discriminated against in the price of gas and oil, over the people of Washington and California. ' . The Mail Tribune feels now, and has felt for some time, that the people of this state, particularly those of Southern Oregon pay too much fCr gasoline. Wo would like to see the state conduct a thorough investi gation into gasoline prices, determine the exact facts, an investigation fair to oil companies and fair to the people. As far as wo can determine, General MacAlexander is the first candidate for governor to promise such a thing, and we there fore score one in his favor. OF ACTOR BARED IN ACTION BY WIFE LOS ANOELES; May S. (UP) Richard Bennett, veteran actor and father of Constance, Joan and Bar bara Bennett, was accused of Indis creet conduct in a separate mainte nance suit filed today by hla second wife, Angela R, Bennett. The five-page complaint, contain ing many sensational charges, cli maxed a family quarrel which began a fortnight ago with their Joint an nouncement of a separation. A few days later Mrs. Bennett, with bruised face, swore to a battery com plaint against the elderly actor, but the case was allowed to lapse. The principal charge by Mrs. Ben nett was that she surprised him in an alleged Indiscretion In their own home In the latter part of March. "Plaintiff insisted upon the de fendant's opening the door of his j bedroom suite, the same being lock ed," the complaint read. "Upcn plaintiff's emphatic Insistence, de- a it of several minutes, nd when plaintiff entered the room she found the defendant clothed only In a bathrobe; that In said room there was at the time the defend ant's femsle secretary." Mrs. Bennett said that when she protested, her husband told her that "It she did not like the way he acted she could leave home, and proceeded to curse her." Kit Ksrape Injury In I'lunse. AVON, Conn.

J. Nassau of Case School of Applied Science, who ha trntned a telescope on the planet Jupiter, 400,000,000 miles away. He first noticed the storm fiundsy night while examining an "Interest ing black spot" on the "north equs torlal belt" or the planet. A large white spot has appeared on the south equatorial belt, he re ports, and hss changed considerably In the Isat few daya. Prof. Nassau and his ssslstant, Sidney McCmkey, estlmsted the storm at the white snot to be 30.000 miles long and 3.000 miles wide, "a storm of uncommon site." "That the spot has changed so ma terially Indicates it Is probably a dis turbance In the upper parts of the atmosphere," he said. "There Is no explanation to be advanced for '.he disturbance, althoigh It Is probably related to the black spot phenome non." 4 8 GERMAN COMMUNISTS GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE HAMBURG, Germany, May S.

William Brady, wt El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Cat IN THE CLUTCHES The time to enjoy an eery myster story is toward 2 a. m. when honest folk are abed. This was the time Sherlock and Wataon chose to A set off across the moor that mem or able night when they wash ed up the Hound of the Basker- Tllles. That was the night I was certain I had heard something. A night my household will never forget, I am afraid. Just once I was hela up and robbed at the point of a weapon that closely resembled an automatic. It was a dull affair. Nothing like the experience one has In nightmares. The chaps who relieved me of my change seemed rather diffident and apologetic. The miscreants one encounters in a bad dream are much uglier customers; - In fact, they usually have all the Indi cations of mania or dementia. - All the harder to deal with. No telling what erratic move the so-and-sos will make. The fiend who has surprised me time and again and who Invariably has the best of the encounter, con ceals himself behind the door of the furnace room with his 16 -Inch pou lard or a spiked club or a gleaming hatchet, and confronts me as I turn back from adjusting the drafts on the furnace. ' It Is exasperating. I can't seem to holler for help, and I never can remember to peer in there be hind the door BEFORE I enter the furnace room. But my rage at being unable to holler above a feeble moan and at having forgotten to explore the space behind the door aa I en tered the murder chamber probably redounds to my advantage, for so far I have always managed to struggle free from the clutches or the Incubus and regain enough . consciousness to comprehend there's somuthlng odd about the affair. If one could only remember to begin analysts of the dream at the Instant of breaking free from the incubus, one might learn a good deal about dreams. But the Joy at finding that you have suffered no serious injury from your ghastly ex perience crowds other thoughts out of your confused consciousness for the moment. By the time you do calm down and begin to think It over the features of the episode are already fading back Into the subconscious be yond your ken. But who knows any thing about that mysterious world? NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, May 3. In a world poised on a pinnacle of doubt, there la a heart-twisting calm among the lees of a Bowery mission. Here are men who have reached the zero of despair, a blur of human kelp, and yet the ma jority have faith. They have not lost the will to hope. Every mission, of course, has Its large percentage of chrontc drift ers, resisting all currents for bet terment. But there is surprising quota to those who, having touched bottom, expect to rise again. I stop ped In at the evening services of Hadley's Fescue hall recently. Cracked voices were singing a fa miliar hymn while a few in postures of fatigue and bad booze slumped on the benches. At the testimony period a stalwart middle-aged fellow, with a Scotch burr, stood up. His fervor seemed to burn away the dull tissues and ember a symbol of promise. He had been a drunkard and in many prisons. But for eight months he had lived straight. That day he had mad 80 cents at some odd Job. The first work In five weeks. Once he had made $11,000 a year. He would again. He felt It so tremendously that somehow you believed he would. From the Bowery I Invaded, the warren of mean, dirty streets that tangle and skirl about Brooklyn bridge. Under the bridge arches clut ters of outscasts were brewing the Americanlred version of the pot au feu known as Mulligan stew. In a group about one blaze, an exhorter in a liquid exiled manner was ex pounding a doctrine I suspect was communistic. I edged a curb and listened respectfully. His anger at capitalism was venomous.

It Is all conjecture, enter taining, lngenlus, perhaps helpful in some Instances, this psycho-analysis whereby presumptuous specialists at tempt to pry Into the subconscious and explain all repressions, obsessions. Confessions and transgressions. As a rule, tho, It Isn't worth the price. Here I endeavor to suggest merely the means to promote quiet restful sleep and to prevent disturbing dreams and nightmares. Excessive food of any kind, espec tally a lata supper for one already overnourished, Is a common cause of bad dreams. Coffee taken late In the evening makes many have bad dreams. Too much smoking at night often causes nightmares. Alcoholism is a notorious producer of monstrous nightmares. Sleeping under heavy covers, even light covers that are too warm, or In a poorly ventilated" place or a room that is not cool, invites dls turbing dreams. One who is feverish, as when com ing down with crl, Is likely to have an endless wearisome dream with muttering nightmares. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. A Good Blood Builder.

F C.0F tCON CLAVE 'New Deal's First Year Has Seen Brightening of Eco nomic Horizon' 'Busi ness Being Bled Views By J. R. BRACKETT ' WASHINGTON, May 3. (Jp) Strong criticism of the administra tion was mingled with praise Wed nesday before the 22nd annual con vention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Henry I. Harrlman, president, open ing the first general session, report ed the new deal's first year had seen brightening economic horizons every where. Immediately following, A. W. Rob ertson, chairman of the Westing house Electric Manufacturing com pany, made this statement: Says Business Bled. "The treatment ailing business Is receiving reminds me of the patient who was purged, and when I say purged I mean purged; bled white with leeches at both wrists and tem ples; fed a powder of dried beans and yet, said the old account, he died." Robertson, In his attack asserted planned economy was "undoubt edly necessary." but added that "w need better plans, not more plans." Harrlman asserted actual unem ployment had been reduced to four millions. He praised the abolition of child labor, and then laid down the rule that: Frank, constructive and helpful criticism Is desirable from every standpoint; but rejecting and block ing desirable reforms will result either In national suicide or In complete revolution." Has Some Criticism. While generally optimistic and tem perate, Harrlman mixed In some crit icism of his own. He contended the securities act must be changed, asserting it Inter feres with the flow of capital Into the heavy goods Industries, in which most of the nation's unemployment la contained. He said the Index of business ac tivity bad risen from 61.7 In Febru ary, 1933, to 78.5 in March of tho present year, and that the whole price level Index in the same period had risen from 59.8 to 73.7. Declaring there were about seven million people out of work, Harrlman asserted that about three million of them are normally unemployed, leav ing the present excess at around four millions. Robertson made a detailed state ment In answer to specific criticisms of business objecting to the assump tion that because there were bad parts' the whole should be condemns i. Attacks Bruin Truster. He also attacked A. A. Berle, Jr., one of the original so-called brain trusters, whom he quoted as saying that those who worked out the or iginal recovery program were con cerned only with a machine that worked, regardless of whether It was "rugged Individualism, fascism, com munism, socialism or what-not." "I confess," Robertson said, "the scope of such planning takes my breath away. It may not make the slightest difference to A. A. Berie, Jr., but it makes a heap of differ ence to some 123 million other peo ple In the United States." 4 AGED TURK MAKING SPEEDY RECOVERY ISTANBUL, May 3.
