A Crying Need DEFORE the United States Board of Army Engineers meet ing here yesterday, Shelby Tuttle, of the S. O. S. stated that the establishment of a proper harbor on the coast would save the fruit shippers of the valley $300,000 a year. That's a lot of money. It would pay interest on an invest ment of $6,000,000, and this would represent the saving on fruit shipments alone. The total saving on all shipments in and out of Southern Oregon, would total a tremendous sum. The Mail Tribune doesn't care what harbor is improved, as long as it is the best and most practical available. This is a matter for the board of army engineers to decide. Nor do we care whether transportation to and from the harbor is supplied by rail or a direct trunk highway this is also a matter for expert authority to determine. But there is no doubt in the opinion of this newspaper of the need and desirability of such transportation, the great benefits that would accrue, as a result of same, and the CRYING NEED OF UNBOTTLING THIS SECTION OF THE STATE, a fertile, progressive and enterprising district .which has been bottled up far far too long. With water transportation on the West, arid direct rail connections with the East, eliminating the long and needless haul to either. Portland or San Francisco the development of the Rogue River Valley and Southern Oregon would be stim ulated as never before, and this section of the coast, would at last, come into its own. Fruitgrowers, Attention! , lNOW thyself, is a good old adage. And in the commercial world, know your business, is equally important. But how many fruit growers in the valley, know precisely what happens to their fruit after it is shipped t How many are familiarwith the details and character of the fresh fruit auction markets in the East, where so much of it is sold t Not many. But thanks to the motion picture camera, which can transport any part of this busy world to any other part, local orchardists have an opportunity tonight to see these auction markets in action, right before their eyes. Mr. Henry D. Greene, special representative of the American Fruit and Produce Auction Association, will exhibit his motion pictures in the auditorium of the court house this evening at seven-thirty, and not only show but explain every phase of the fruit auction. ' : ' . - . There will be no admission charge.

Male upstarts have started drifting borne from seats of learning with red suspenders, and the same colored no tions. Great lova and devotion for the publlo schools are editorially ex pressed by the esteemed Fortlsnd' ment of its nefarious purpose in the i the valley is invited to attend. The fruit grower who misses defeat of the school relief sales tax. . this, will miss a rare opportunity to gain first hand information of yrM m It Calls upon all opponents of that worthy measure, "by their oo-opera' tlon and determination, to show they cherish the schools, and admire the sacrifices made by teachers." No doubt the state Grange master feels the same way about the schools. The good wishes must be soothing, after all that has happened, but are no balm for school finances. A plan should be worked out to make hooey legal tender, and aave the schools, to be ruined again. The P. E, O.

They were probably the Most Noble nd Grand Inner Sentinels, but did not look It. They were majestlo In their Inconsplcuousness. Atty. Joe Fllegel graced the occasion, and could not get In a word edgewise. This shows the Intensity of the talking. Others noticed (but that was sbout all) were O.

(AP) The announcement of the county welfare department that It Intended to publish the names of persons on chsrlty rolls re sulted In the appearance today of 345 persons at district welfare offlcea asking that their names I bs dropped from the lists, I Bonnie Psrker, a gangster's moll,; and rather proud of It, died Wednes day, with a machine gun In her lap. Bhs knew more sbout handling desdly weapons than babies. The bullets of ths lew slso laid low her outlaw sweetie, one Clyde Barrow, so there Is one less No. I bandit In ths land They were fleeing from officers quicker on ths trigger than their felonious selves. Bonnie was a coun try girl, who tired of the farm. She found criminals more Interesting than hired men. She wss reputed to smoke cigars. This she denied, but never thst she wss a consort of a desperado. There la mild complaint that officers who provided work for the coroner were "hasty." The records show there were 13 officers who were not "hasty" and Bonnie and Clyde left them lying in the fields, and on the highways of ths southwest. They got what was coming to them, and are now beyond any lawyer's writ of habeas corpus. of one of the most important departments of his business. There should be a crowded house to greet Mr. Greene. A Deplorable Tragedy TPHIS tragedy at Toledo. Ohio, is most, regrettable. "We be- lieve it is the first case since the depression started of soldiers firing on a striking mob with fatal results. If press reports are. correct there should be a most thorough investigation, and those responsible for the tragedy should be severely punished. , For it is claimed the troops fired on the strikers WITHOUT ORDERS, killing two men and wounding over a dozen. There is no excuse for such a breach of discipline. Soldiers on strike duty, are or should be as trictly under orders as soldiers in war. ' , , - , They are not private citizens who happen to have loaded guns in their hands, at liberty to shoot, if their tempers hap pen to be riled. They are soldiers on the line of duty. IT IS probably neither pleasant nor easy to stand still, and meekly accept the insults and brick-bats of a raging mob, but it is for those in command, not those in the ranks to decide when retaliatory action should be taken. And under present conditions, with gas bombss such an effective and relatively harmless method of defense, only a sit-, nation truly desperate would justify, 'those in command, order ing troops to shoot to kill. It is all very deplorable, and prompt action by the authori ties in disciplining the individuals responsible, is certainly I demanded. , I have argued, writes a girl, that a "cold," or crl If you wlib ... (It Is Immaterial to me. Call It what you ple&M. I have tried to make you understand what crl means. Makes no differ ence to my health what you choose to call yours.) . . . that a "cold," or crl If you wlah. Is not cauated by exposure to the elements, but la due to germ In fection alone, and my arguments are based on the teachings 'n your column. Others contend that pneu monia Is generally preceded by a "cold" or by the flu. That Is, that one Is more likely to fall victim to pneumonia If already In the grip of a respiratory Infection. I do not know whether or not this Is true and I would like to be enlightened. (M. T.) Nor does anybody else know whether there Is any truth In the Idea that some less dangerous re spiratory tract' aliment renders the Individual more susceptible to pneu monia, or whether the primary In disposition of Illness la from the very beginning the manifestation of the same Infection that culminates In Inflammation of the lung. No one has found a specific germ or virus for "the common cold;" no one has determined a specific cause for what la commonly called "flu." Some physicians attempt to bol ster up the old theory of "taking cold" by assuming that most per sons constantly harbor In nose and throat whatever disease germs the exigency requires, and thus explain any Illness or indisposition that may happen to follow a real or fancied chilling or exposure to wet or cold. But in ract there is no ground for the assumption. "Carriers" of diph theria, for Instance, may be a men ace to non-Immune Individuals; and though we do not know, we have reason to believe thst "carriers" of epidemic meningitis and "carriers" of the virus of poliomyelitis (infan tile paralysis) may be the source of Infection In some Instances. But note that these "carriers" are themselves Immune to the disease they carry. So far as I can learn there Is no proof that any person ever harbors In nose or throat the germs of any known respiratory Infection unless the carrier himself Is coming down with the disease or 111 of It or not yet fully recovered from an attack. The Pneumococcl which are found In nose or throat of a large propor tion of the population are not of the virulent type, according to re cent Investigation, and so we must admit that the plausible assumption is an error. I do not wish to deny that under particular circumstances the harm less strain of Pneumococcl common ly found In nose or throat may de velop virulence sufficient to cause acute coryza. tonsillitis, quinsy or even bronchitis or pneumonia m a second person; but I do Insist, and without fear of competent contra diction, that we have no scientific evidence that the germs or virus the Individual harbors ever cause such Illness of the Individual himself. Even If my contention be subject to occasional exceptions, I still main tain that this possibility Is Insignif icant and need not worry the layman at all. The Important factor to bear In mind Is that to the best of our present knowledge practically every putative "cold" or crl, aa I wish you would learn to call It, la directly due to spray or droplet Infection, either open face cough or sneeze spray, which carries aa far as ten or twelve feet, or polite conversation spray, which carries less than five feet. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I Said One Grain to the Pint I have a pint bottle of medicine on hand, containing four ounces of Iron and ammonium citrate 'and four grains of copper sulphate In the pint of water. This seems to Irritate the stomach and Intestines somewhat . . ; (Mrs. D, B.) Answer In the booklet, "Blood and Health," copy of which any reader may procure by sending 10 cents and. stamped, addressed envel ope. I instruct you to dissolve one ounce of iron and ammonium citrate In four dunces of water, or four ounces In a pint, and to add ONLY one grain of copper sulphate to the pint. Children Who Chew Bed Clothes Daughter, aged, 3, haa annoying habit. She can't go to sleep unless she chews on a twisted corner of the Bheet or blanket . , . (Mrs. H. J.) Answer Such habits should be strictly dealt with at the first repe tition noticed. It la a mistake to let the habit become established, and then try to correct It. Dip the edge of sheet or blanket In a decoction made by boiling an ounce of quassia chips in a quart of water. Let It dry out. Thla Imparts a very bitter taste, and the child soon loses the desire to chew the cloth. Quassia is a wood, and the decoction is commonly em ployed, as an enema against pin worms. Nonsense Please give me a list of foods which contain potassium and. silicon but no calcium. (R. B.) Answer I know of no such foods. Meats are perhaps richer In potas sium and poorer In calcium than any other foods. I can't Imagine what practical use you can make of such Information. Comment on the Day's, News By FRANK JENKINS. YVERE Is an Interesting statement 1 In the first three months of 1634, Clasa 1 railroads of the United States showed a net operating in come of 0.112,276,896. In the first three months of 1633, their net op erating income was 134,551 ,648. Not so bad. . A HUNDRED and twelve million dollars Is a lot of money. When we look at that figure, our first thought la that the railroads have done very well for themselves. But when we read further that the sum ot (112,276,896 amounta to a return at an annual rate ot only 2.23. per cent on the railroads' prop erty Investment we realize that It Isn't so terribly good, after all. The railroads, you see, have cost a lot of money, HOPING, of course, won't do much good, but at least let's hope the railroads do 6ven better & ' great deal better, if they can In the lost nine months of 1934 than they did In the first three months. If the railroads show good profits. they will be able to buy more lum ber and other products of Oregon, and If the rallroadB are able to pay! j more of our products we ohall show an Increase of prosperity here in Ore gon. We are all Interested In that. DON'T grudge fair profits to In dustry. Industry must have fair profits If It Is to pay fair wages to Its labor and fair prices for Its raw materials.
