When these lines are printed the writer expects to be in Spokane, and if Rosey's railroad doesn 't botch its job he will be. Certain matters of a personal nature have called Ye Editor East. Some of these "personal"' matters will be referred to from time to time, in the form of travelogues others won't be. The "Old Ship Sedan," and the "Little Green Bug" which have propelled the portable typewriter and its willing slave in past pilgrimages will be left at home this time, along with the family dorg, Mrs. B. and about 300 perfectly charming pack rats. Various and sundry railroad companies will do the neces sary toting as far as Chicago, then 'it is possible another motor bus will be commissioned, for an invasion of that terra incognito known as the Atlantie seaboard.

The preparations have been in the right hands, an army of loyal sons have been working night and day for many weeks, and everything points to a record breaking crowd from all points of the compass. Through its news columns the Mail Tribune has helped and will continue to do so and in a short time the Diamond Jubilee Special edition will be issued. We should like to take some credit for that, but we can't. Ernest Qilstrap, Herb Grey, E. C. Ferguson, and a loyal staff, are entirely responsible. So if it's a great success, give them the praise, and if it ISN'T then you know the editor is to tjame, Ho will be far enough That's the way it is in the It is the law of compensation.

EMBERS ot the United States board of engineers are told at Medford that the Industrial future ot Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia depends upon establishment at Crescent City of a deep-water har bor, There Is a lot ot truth In the state ment. - WHY? Because Southern Oregon and Northern California suffer from a hump-backed freight rate structure that permit the railroads to charge more tor hauling a carload of freight from San Fanclsco to Med ford or Klamath Falls or Rose-burg thsn tor hauling the same carload of freight from San Frsnclsco to Fort land. Under this handicap. Industrial de velopment In Southern Oregon has lagged. It will continue to lag until the handicap Is removed. pilS purpose "of a deep-water her- bor at Crescent City Is to remove the handicap, permitting the lending of freight at low water rates at Cres cent City and lt distribution Into Medford Diamond Jubilee were College decided to graduate the 11th, and a certain paterfamilias the occasion.

Then an amendment to the appro priation messure reduces the amount to be spent annually to aifiO.000,000. The fight Is on now to determine which figure will prevail. IT SEEMS to this writer that If the government Is going to reduce ALL spending approximately two thirds, It should reduce highway spending at the same rate. But If the government Is going to go on spending with a lavish hand In order to stimulate employment and general business, It can spend In no better way than on permanent high ways. Highway building provides employ ment for lsbor and a market for ma terials, and after It Is all over we will have something to show for what hss been spent.

The asthma. It - elf is not directly transmitted from -jn psrent to child, out ramer a pe culler constitu tions! ssnsltlvlty to certsln foreign substances which enter the body by Inhalation, by ingestion or by absorption, and produce a char, acterlstlc r e a c tlon called alien gy. In one mem. ber of the family this may manl rest itself as an attack or hives or repeated attacks of hives or of giant nives (angioneurotic edema); in an other the reaction occurs ss eczema; In another It may be hay fever; In another asthms. Some such condi tion Is found In the family history in more then two-thirds of all cases of asthma. In a striking number of esses the first allergic action, of whatever type, In Infancy occurs Immediately alter the first feeding of egg-white. In 04 cases ot ssthma In children under 15 years of age the patients were found to be sensitive to these foods: egg-white, 13 cases; chicken, 8 esses; cereal, 13 cases; milk, 10 esses; fish, 10 cases; beef, 8 esses, nuts, 7 cases; pea, 4 cases; potato, 3 cases; and one case each of orange, choc olate, celery, cinnamon, cauliflower, etc. Sensitivity is determined by ap plying a minute quantity of the pure substance to a slight scratch on the skin; if the Individual Is sensitive to the substance so applied, a charac teristic wheal appears at the site of Inoculation within an hour or two. The principal air-borne substances to which asthmatic children are sen sitive are house dust, ragweed pollen, reamers, animal dander, grass pol lens, orris root, cottonseed, kapok. silk, etc. We told here November 19. 1030, the story of the doctor's child who hsd a way of getting an attack of asthma every time dsd and mama took him to visit grama's place in the country and they blamed It on gentlemanly cat the boy played with In grama'a barn. But eventual ly they discovered the true cause silk. Hsd to remove every silk item they had in the house including the coat mama ususlly wore when they drove out to grsma's and some zippy neckties pop affected. When , they removed silk from the child's environment he got slong with only rsre and mild attacks. Pretty hard to give everybody wearing silk the air, you know. Embarrassing, too, to ssk the patient's nurse to wear no silk on duty. Food allergy In Infancy tends to disappear spontaneously before the age of 10 years. - But, alss, the In herited predisposition does not dls appear, for 50 per cent of such chil dren acquire or begin to manifest allergy for air-borne substsnces by the age of 10 years, and another 35 per cent by the age of 36 years. cities, all the counties, all the states and the nation.

I NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre LOS ANGELES, May 36 Holly wood, likely the most cussed and dis cussed village in the world, Is to a stroller as Inno cent as a gam boling lambkin. The Hollywood one reads about Is to many a state of mind. To this anclnt mariner It Is a nJclsh little brig, top - heavy with vanity, Jibs guyed out, all sails abloom. Here smart boulevardlers are Jsy-wslkers and I sidewalk generate back fence tattle. From sun-up to sun-down It live In the tremulous tensity of expectant wonder, a glgantlo market ot human merchsndlse. Civic consciousness and commerce are secondary considera tions. Hollywood's Interest Is solely In personalities. And why not I For here human mediocrity has rippled Its finest splendor. The soda water clerk. the filling ststlon boy are tomorrow's Jack Oaklea. The hotel manicure RIM has the same chence as her heavy footed msnlcurlst sister, Oarbo from Sweden. Or so she believes. Every girl a potential queen, every boy a potential king, Hollywood hss seen every wild, craey dream come true. Its lexicon will never contain dlscoursgement. Rebuffa mean even tual recognition.

However, the actual re sults of surgical removal of tonsils and adenoids have been unsatisfac tory so far aa.cure ot the asthma Is concerned. Perhsps more effective treatment would be open air life, nudism, sunbaths, tanning, or even ultraviolet lamp exposures to pro vlds the something that such chil dren need. And a dally ration of good old cod liver oil to boot. QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS Conservation of the Teeth Quite a while ago you came out with the rather startling remark that a person could throw away his tooth brush and yet not be In danger of having decayed teeth. That was hard to believe at first, but, according to the latest views of leading authori ties In nutrition resesrch, dental hy giene, etc., I can see It Is common sense. Why don't they teach It to dentists? (P. w. L.) Answer. No, I never came out with any such remsrk. I merely said the use ot tne toothbrush has nothing to do with the preservation of the teeth or with the prevention of decay. Send a stamped envelope besrlng your ad dress and ask for the free monograph which contalna the gist of our pres ent knowledge of the conservation of the teeth. Salts Habit Mother and I have been In the habit of drinking a glass of hot water containing a teaspoonful of cream of tartar and some lemon juice, a half hour before breakfast. Our systems seem to be well regulated, but we would like to have your opinion of this practice. (Miss D. U.) Ans. Unwlss, I think. Why depend on any kind of salts or other aid Lto "regulate" a function which, If let alone, always regulates Itself? Send a dime and stamped addressed envelope snd ask for the booklet "The Con stlpstlon Hsbit." But don't ask for my cure or treatment for constipa tion. If It Isn't a habit, I can tell you nothing for It except that you should consult your physician about it. ; Ribbon Round Her Neck The English Channel was very rousn.
