Our own Chan Egan, who according to these smart east ern sport writers, wag only selected on the team for sentimental reasons ; today, defeated the Honorable Michael Scott, British team captain, three and two, making the first round in the alker Cup contest, practically an American walk-away. Three long rousing cheers for Chan, the local golf club, and Medford, Oregon I The victory is the more satisfying because it was unex pected. Not only American but British golf experts, placed Egan and Marston, both veterans of long standing, as under dogs. With the Honorable Micbael Scott, not only team cap tain, but the British amateur title holder in 1933, the Yankee grey beards " were only given an outside chance to win. But, as usual, Chan came through, once more rightfully ac claimed as one of the greatest golfers that ever wielded a driv. ing iron. TpHE Medford golfer was teamed with Max Marston, another "oldster, " while the Honorable Micbael, played with Sam McKinlay. It was about an even break in age, and the teams were all square at the end of 18; but the Americans had the greater staying power and the stronger final punch, as is often the case. Needless to say, all Medford is DELIGHTED. And a con gratulatory cable to pur Chan is certainly in order. The result of the Walker Cup series will not be known until after the individual matches are played tomorrow, but there is scarcely a chance of the Britishers catching the American team now. ' ' . A golf victory is only a golf victory. Such things are not enrolled on the scroll of imperishable history. Neither are gold medal.-- But they are nice to get. ' And to get both in one week! And all for Medford! That well known slogan 'This is a great country," is be ginning to have a NEW meaning. The Dog Poisoner JtATEDFORD, unfortunately, is not free from that inhuman scourge, the dog poisoner. Several dogs and other fam ily pets, have died in agony in this city the past year, the vic tims being particularly plentiful in the neighborhood of West It la now figured that the votera , jr.:., flnj p..,,!,; of the county will enow leaa Interest In the primary election than in ! We are, therefore, more than glad to follow the suggestion carnival company with two merry. ot tne iocal Humana Society and reprint the following admir able editorial on the subject, from the gifted pen of Ben Hur jLampman, former Gold Hill boy and now one of the leading editorial writers of the Portland Orcgonian. MCIR and Madam: You have spread poison for domestic animals and for'littlo children in your hatred of dogs, which are property and therefore privileged. The law provides penalties suited to this crime, for the crime itself is of the darker sort, and apart from your apparently col lous disregard for suffering indeed, there may' even be a perverse enjoyment there Ss an equal indifference to human rights; to human love, and to the security of chit- . dren. For children have been poisoned, here and there by poisoned food secretly prepared and placed for dogs. If your belief that you will evade detection sustains you in evil, should not the reflection that you are violating the , rights of others, and even endangering human life, give you pause? ' u A S (Jo dogs, and granting that at times they are trouble- some, the great Darwin .said that if man possesses spiritual nature, these also possess it. Certainly they are creatures of remarkable wit, with emotions comparable to ours, with keen capacity for pleasure and for suffering, for joy or sorrow, and with such endowment of affectionate impulse aa often causes the affection their masters give them, in turn, to seem somehow less worthy and less ade quate. The poisoned dog lies in full consciousness of doom and with such realization of agony as we ourselves would entertain dies dumbly, helplessly, hopelessly, groping with his half-soul, that is so like our own spiritual nature, to understand why such pain should be. You yourself, sir or madam, will not, when your time comes to quit this pleasant world, taste of death more despairingly than does the poisoned dog. "VfOU have a hatred for dogs, a phobia obsesses you, and you yield to it. But why must you, to gratify your hatred of dogs, bring grevious sorrow to men and women who have loved these animals, and who will cherish the memory of them as of friends! Does such gross, un feeling, cruel misconduct as yours entitlo you to have a place in the society of your kindt What debt of conven tional respect or feeling do we owe you, that we would not be justified in repudiating! What is your true status in the brotherhood of mant "Sir or madam, assuming that this open letter chances to come beneath your eye, consider well that the poisoner, whether of man or beast the wilful malicious poisoner hag from the very inception of the moral codo been marked as an unnatural and monstrous being as a creature apnrt. This is not a judgment of individual opinion. It is the judg ment of society, from whose fellowship, though you may seem to fraternize with its members, you are outcast." ONE YE EDITOR MISSED (Con. Record) . MR. O'CONNOR. I hope be- . fore the . gentleman ftnlahea he , will place the entire letter In the Record. I have read It. It la one of the greatest genu I have read In many a year. It will go down In hlatory with aome other famous congressional communi cations. There are aome sen- ' tencea In that letter that I can not possibly understand, and -1 do not believe anybody In the House can possibly Interpret ' what they mean.

FROM CORYZA TO CONSUMPTION. km hu in iliiiirj Every one of the two dozen differ ent ill new listed In the group of respiratory Infections has been labelled "just a com ' an the onset of the attack. Think 1j1 how much un necessary suffer ing and unhappl ness that every day error In diag nosis (no matter whether It be a doctor's diagno sis or a layman's) has caused, thru the spread of ln f e c 1 1 o n. Then think, if you can, of any significant Injury or burden that would be Im posed on anybody If we should all turn honest and call every such acute Indisposition or Illness crl, at least until It proved non-lnfectlous. Scientific medicine recognizes no such entity or condition as a "cold" 'the common cold." No physician can or will venture to define such an Illness so that another physician can understand what he Is talking about. You may search medical literature and query eminent medical or health authorities till you are quite exhaust- i ed and you will never learn any more than you know now about "the com mon cold." Indeed, the medical and I health authorities who still prate about "the common cold," Its cause, prevention and cure, meet all chal lenges with the trick retort that everybody knows what the common cold Is." So there you are, Mr. and Mrs. Wiseacre. You knew that all along, didn't you? j 'The common cold," which I hon estly believe never happens, is unique In this respect, namely, that no medi cal authority or health authority who professes to believe In It will commit himself to a definition of the disease or even a description which would enable an intelligent person to com prehend what he Is discussing. Any one who has enough sense to follow thus far will scarcely Infer that I deny the existence of the aliment which purports to be a "cold." Too many half-baked Individuals have at tempted to draw such an Inference from my teachings about this. If you are befuddled at this stage, you may as well give up and go back to your funny pictures. Bear in mind that In perhaps one out of every ten cases of coryza the cause is allergy (peculiar sensitivity to some food or foreign protein), or chemical Irritant, or chronic rhinitis or sinusitis (catarrhal trouble), and there la nothing Infectious or com municable about it. Yet even tn such eases no great inconvenience or In justice la done by regarding the at tack as crl until It proves harmless. Here It la hot a matter of add! vine the golden rule so much as It la a matter of self-preservation. The only reasonably safe course or piactlce for us to follow In our present social civilized life is to treat all such affec tlons as the crl until they are proved innocent. There Is no ever-ready test by means of which a doctor or a layman can determine whether a given coryza or similar acute condition la the crl (that Is, infectious) in the first few hours. If the onset Is attended with any feverlshness or general wretched ness (malaise), It is quite likely of Infectious character. - If the onset is quite abrupt, and without any general indisposition at all, is not unlikely that the trouble Is allergic, atopic, chemical, or mechanical disturbance of the circulation In tn already chron ically pathologic nose, sinus or throat. Of course one subject to such non infectious nasal condition may con tract infections the same as anybody else. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Sunshine and Milk. If you were living on an Income of 920 a week and had three children, one a baby 6 months old . . . C. A. O. Answer That's enough. If you con tinue I'll be so mad I can't answer coherently. But one point I can re assure you on in such circumstances or any other I'd prefer ordinary milk to the stuff that purports to provide a surplus of Vitamin D. To my mind, when milk vendors begin doctoring up their products one must be wary. In your country the cows can produce Vitamin D from the green pasturage or fodder they eat and from the sun light they absorb every day. Only the Infant under a year of age needs any additional Vitamin D, and he will get the necessary surplus from either a dally poonful of plain cod liver oil (the grade sold at a dollar a gallon, or thereabouts, for chicken feed, Is perfectly suitable) or from halibut oil, called hallver oil, or from salmon oil. Egg yolk contains con siderable Vitamin D and may be fed to an Infant If other sources of the vitamin are not available. Vitamin D prevents rickets, promotes healthy, vigorous growth and development, and, helps build sound, even, strong teeth. It is good for the epectant mother to get a dally ration of Vitamin D good for herself and good for her prospective baby. Removal of Mole. Is it dangerous to have a mole re moved which seems to be growing larger all the time? It is Just under my chin and very noticeable? Mrs. H. S. Answer Rather less dangerous than to let it alone, provided a competent physician removes it. Sometimes such a benign blemish ultimately becomes malignant. Beware of monkeying by amateurs or "beauty" experts. (Copyright, 1934, John P. Dllle Co.) horse and ride the company down. She wound up In a chalk-faced fury, kicking, screaming and pulling her hair. It was the only time I actually saw foam bubbling from a person's mouth. When her chameleon caper subsided, the director, leaning pati ently against a wing, said quietly: "Let us go on now I" And like the magic cessation of a furious storm, everything was calm and peaceful again. The Englishman, Teddy Royce and where is he? wore himself down directing rehearsals more than any man I ever saw. Two days before the premiere of one Follies his voice was only a whisper and, a frail fellow, ho had lost eight pounds. His meals were only a hastily snatched sand wich and a gulp of hot cof(ee.

He sits quietly down front, interjecting a soft-spoken en treaty now and then and never in dulging a tantrum.

Four-hour days and 30-hour weeks are probably all right as emergency devices to spread a limited number of Jobs among a larger number of workers, but In the long' run In this country, tn normal times, we're go ing to be far happier If we WORK MORE and HAVE MORE.

(Copyright, 1934, Mc Naught Syndi cate, Inc.) Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS WILLIAM H. WOODIN, secretary of the treasury In the history- making early days of the Roosevelt administration, dies In a New York hospital of a throat Infection said to have resulted from overwork while he held his official post. If that Is true, his life was sacri ficed to hla country's welfare; for In those hectic days of a year ago overwork and overworry on the part of those In authority were unavoidable. B UT If Mr. Woodln, on his death- E DON'T really work too much or produce too much. There la actually NO SUCH THING as over production. The trouble is that our system of distribution is faulty. If good brains ever provide for us a system of distribution that works as efficiently as our system of pro duction, the bogey of overproduc tion that frightens us all Into catfita now causing us to do absurd things such as plowing under cotton and killing pigs to get rid of them will disappear like mist before a hot sun. If we can only learn how to dis tribute equally and fairly what we produce, we shall soon find that the more we produce the more we shall have. JAPANESE SWIMMER SET A NEW RECORD MANILA, Msy 11.

Some of the town's staunch- est friendships generated there. Jack One of the delightful angles to Man hattan, is the drop-and-pick-up friendships. It is not unusual for friends on account of the city's com plexities to be separated a year or sev eral years and begin relations right where left off. Threads do not un ravel. In smaller communities friend ships, with such absence, trickle out. And once abandoned, are seldom resumed. Perhaps no wife so carefully guards her husband as doea Mme. Toscaninl, the famous conductor. And he Is one of life's most oscillating paradoxes. A kindly, sensitive fellow, he vents his flurrle of rage by breaking bis spectacles into bits. She always has a few extra pairs safely cached. An exquisite in sartorial taste, he affects tiny George Whtie bow ties, stiffly pleated shirts and patent leather ihoes that must not bear a slight scratch. He professes to. despise the uproar of a city, yet will not- live anywhere save the Astor tn the midst of greatest clamor. A bristle of con tradictions, he comes toward the rt he loves humbly and with open hands. Then he is the great and lovable Toscaninl, been given the opportunity to live over the last year and a half of his life, choosing quiet retirement In stead of the rush of overwork and overworry that are said to have re sulted In the infection that caused his death, he would probably have made no change. Big men don't regret a Job, no matter what the cost to themselves may have been. WOODIN, one of the coun try's big Industrialists, the list of concerns In which he was a direc tor is really staggering took up mu sic at the age of 60. Two years later, the Berlin Phil harmonic orchestra played one of hla compositions. Noted 4 orchestras in New York followed, and President Roosevelt rode down Pennsylvania avenue on the day of his Inaugura tion to the strains of a march com posed by Mr. Woodln. TO MOST of us, music and busi ness seem far apartand certain ly the average musician's life Isn't much of a success as a business man. Great buslnesa men, on the other hand, often have a talent for music. Charles G. Dawes, you know, Is a composer of note, as well as a violin ist of outstanding ability. Evidently they put Into their mu sic the same qualities of imagina tion and hard application that make ! them great as business men. . ' . f- . I Theke is a shrewd saying, you know, to ths effect that inspira tion Is really four-fifths perspira tion. That Is to say, hard work prob ably has much more to do In the long run with success than Inborn genius.

Crawford and Musicians and Workers from Portland, Oregon The magazine Time tells of the day when Oeraldlne Farrar, Toscanlni's close friend, goaded by an endless re hearsal of bickering, cried: "Maestro, I am the star of this performance not you." To which he replied: "Madame, there are no stars in my performsnces. There are only stars In Heaven I" The audden pyrotechnics of a great star la often beautiful to behold.
