Editorial Correspondence
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 7. Never travel with a boil,
boil is a most diEagrceable companion and brings bad luck.
Here is the editor stranded
of the party has motored on. The reason is he left Eoekford
with a boil, which he should never have done. He should have
left the boil, or else given up the trip. The next time a boil
beckons we shall pass coldly on leave it to its fate, under no
circumstances give it a ride, A boil can be as treacherous and
destructive as a California hitch hiker.
The boil has also been responsible for the infrequency and
brevity of the editorial correspondence. For it has been with
ns now for over a week. And it takes one of sterner stuff than
we to pound a typewriter with any sense of fluency, with a boil
whispering in one's ear, or close to it.
- However the important event in Poughkeepsie, New York
beckoned and the date had to be kept. With any sort of luck
it still will be kept but not by motor, we expect to travel the
next leg of the journey by night and in a train. And if that
boil isn't gone by then, we will be.
However, enough of the personal note. We shall now treat
of the boil impersonally. Show how it can not only crucify its
victim, but put a perfectly good motor car on the blink.
We left Rockford at 7 a. m. yesterday morning, it was early
but not so bright, a warm, enervating haze covered that sec
tion of northern Illinois. By running south to Jolict we escaped
Chicago entirely, and struck straight for South Bend, Indiana,
where they make Studebakcr cars, and also if we recall cor
rectlychampion football teams.

the closest call to a fatal motor accident ye editor has ever ex
perienced. The bicyclist was pedalling industriously along on
the right side of the pavement and we were approaching him
at, oh about 50 miles an hour we gave him the horn and he
was either deaf or hostile to those who claim precedence over
the leg driven vehicular traffic at any rate he maintained his
even pace and refused to budge. At the same moment a car
coming fast in the other direction approached so it was a case
of hitting the bicyclist or crashing head-on with the other car,-i-just
what was done we don't know, but the brakes were sud
denly applied and the car in which we were driving, started to
turn a complete revolution, veered over the embankment, execut
ed another revolution, which brought it back to the highway
again, where a third figure eight was out and the drama was
over. Aside from a crushed suitcase which belonged to ye
editor, and from which parts of the editorial wardrobe hung
in disarray no serious harm was done.

People) rushed from a nearby farm house expecting no doubt
to pick up and perhaps identify some of the remains. They
milled around in great excitement, and considerable perturba
tion, remarking by way of consolation that if wo had run into
the ditch instoad of putting on the brakes no harm (except
to ourselves) would have resulted. The lone bicyclist was par
ticularly irritating. . Ho asked,
excitement was about 1"
"The next timo" said the man
man and not try to save ten I"
That mathematical problem was to much for the bicyclist
to boIvb. He oouldn't mako head or tail of it, and proceeded to
mount his wheel and continue on his way.
That started the trouble. A series of skids like that are hard
on the rear tires, and that there was no blowout was remarked
upon by the man at the wheel as evidence that the aforesaid
tires were in excellent condition. Perhaps they were THEN 1
But after a hasty lunch and about 20 more miles of driving
bang !out went the rear left, and came near throwing the boat
into the ditch again. There was a spare only seven years old,
so this mishap only caused a delay of half an hour. However
there was only ono spare so it was advisable to have the blowout
fixed at the next station.
From South Bend, Indiana," however, to Toledo, Ohio we
found a peculiar situation to exist. Both states are supposed to
be thickly settled. But if on this Lake Shore highway there is
any town over 200 inhabitants we failed to find it. Mile after
mile of the most beautiful and salubrious farm land in the world
the drought in fact was cut off short at Chicago Heights as
short as if a knife had been applied but nothing more promis
ing than a do luxe filling station. At one of these we stopped
but they had no tiro of the proper size. Wo were then 55 miles
from Toledo, so it was decided to drive slowly to that city, and
take our chances on having no more trouble. Mr. Boil must
have chuckled at that.
For precisoly 30 miles from Toledo, Ohio, there was another
bang louder than the first. The rear of the car swung from
side to side, like a whip lash. The two occupants of the rear
seat hung on to each other for they had nothing else to hang
on to. Howovcr the ninn at tho wheel again provod his re
sourcefulness, and kept the bus from going into tho ditch again.
There we wore completely suuk 30 miles from nowhere I Wo
hailed the first car which appeared which chnnecd to be an old
Ford driven by a dairy farmer and hit? friend who had been to
Toledo for tho day and were returning in timo to milk the cows,
After somo parleying they agreed to take the two rims and
exploded casings back to Toledo and secure new tires for $4,
which for a 60 mile trip was not at all bad. This wag done,
and for two hours we sat in tho stranded machino watching the
Ilolstoins nip the alfalfa in the nearby field, and the sun go
down. It was soven p. m, when they returned, by our time, but
we discovered time had changed somewhere along the way and
it was 8 o'clock, E. S. T.
About an hour later wo were safely in a Toledo hotel, aud
the entiro party tucked in bed, quite exhausted by the day's
adventures. The boil, however, was not exhausted at all, but
perked up and started an oblignto which lasted most of the
night. Wo planned to mako an early start the next morning,
but the car had other plans. Tho bntteries dcoided to expire
and new batteries had to be installed, then the timer went on
the blink and the parage meohanies worked over that for an
hour or two. It was 11 a. m. before wo finally departed and

One ridiculous nostrum for a while
sought to teach the beautiful bu
dumb that It Is the way of the la-dl
da to avoid the trouble of cleaning

neat trick of applying some anti
septic to the Important places, and
hurrying right on to the dansant or
the opera. But I reckon the bird
who thought that one up was caught
at ' some skull-iugery or other, for
it no longer makes the pulp mags
amusing.
From the reckless and nonohalant
way the wiseacre layman souses his
wounds, burns and sores with "pow-
erful antiseptic" nostrums it Is evi
dent that the poor boob hasn't tho
slightest conception of the process of
healing. Before you - undertake to
treat a cut, burn or wound of any
kind It might be weU to have some
notion of the way healing occurs.
A more detailed description of the
healing process will be given in an
other talk. Here the significant fact
is that new tissue must be produced
to repair the injury. The new tissue
Is composed of cells. The young cells
are quite deUcate more delicate
than germs snd hence they are eas
ily wiped away or destroyed by care
less handling or crippled or killed
by the unwise application of anti
septics. We are none too certain that even
the first aid application of lodln or
other disinfectant or antiseptic Is
Justifiable as a routine practice; In
fact I believe It Is better omitted In
some circumstances but I sdvlsc
you laymen to use the lodln In ev

There la no doubt whatever that
the popular practice of applying such
crude poisons ss earbollzed sal7c,
mercury and other "powerful anti
septics.'" more or less disguised in
countless different nostrums, greatly
retards the healing process In the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Smoking and Carbon Monoxide
In one of your Interesting articles
you mentioned carbon monoxide ai
a possible factor In the Injurious ef
fects of smoking. Will you kindly
give any reference you have con
cerning that? (W. H. D.)
Answer Laboratory Investigation
by Alex. O. Oettler, Ph. D and Mar-
JJorle R. Mattlce, A. B Sc. M. of
New York showed that smoking ap
preclably Increases the carbon mon
oxide In the blood. These Investi
gators reported their observations in
the Jour. A. M. A., Jan. 14, 1933,
Spleen
What Is the purpose or function of
the spleen? What effect Is produced
when the spleen Is removed? What
care should be taken when It has
been removed from a person? (W.
J. B.)
Answer We do not know. Perhaps
It has something to do with the man
ufacture of red blood corpuscles, to
gether with the bone marrow and
lymph nodes. Removal of the spleen
seems to have no serious effect, other
than a temporary anemia which las;s
only a few montha.
Why Breathe with Your Beiiy

exercise, sitting, standing or lying

now, I want to say that David la

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A N Impression seems to prevail
that the sawmills of Southern
Oregon are doing exceedingly well
this spring hare more orders on
hand than they know what to do
with under operating conditions as
defined by the code.
It would be fine If this were true
but the figures don't bear It out.
FOR example:
For the week ending May as
the latest for which statistics are
available, Western Pine orders
amounted to 48,478,000 feet. Ship
ments were 11,863,000 feet. Produc
tion was 88,718,000 feet.
That Is to say, during this week
the pine mills covered In this report
shipped 8.7 per cent more lumber
than they received new orders for
and produced 17.8 per cent more lum
ber than they had new orders for.
That Isn't a thrllllngly rushins
business.
NOW let's take another look at this
latest week for which we have
figures:
Orders, as already stated, amounted
to 48,478,000 feet. This compares with
a three-year weekly average for May
of 47,002,000 feet.
You will note that orders for the
latest week covered by available sta
tistics are slightly above the three
year weekly average, but you must
remember that the last three years
have been the lowest yeara, from
the etandpolnt of consumption, In
the recent history of the lumber In
dustry. In other words, new orders In the
pine region are now Just barely above
the average level of the three dls
sstrous years t Just past.
11HAT Is here written Is not In
vf tended as pessimism. This
writer is a constitutional optimist.
and refuses to believe that the world
la going to pot or that the lumlwr
Industry Is going to pot with It
There are sound reasons for be
lieving that the great lumber In
dustry, which means so much to
Oregon, is fsclng In the next few
years better conditions than It ha3
experienced In the past few years,
We all hope that, and most of us
believe It.
BUT It Is Just as well to realize
that the lumber Industry, which
is the payroll backbone of this coun
try, ISN'T In particularly rosy cir
cumstances right now.
Its expenes have been heavily In
creased, and Its volume of new busi
ness hasn't been increased according
ly. It Is making a gallant fight to
keep on operating In the face of
very grave difficulties, thus keeping
up payrolls In the communities In
which It operates and enabling these
communities to show a considerable
measure of Increased business activ
ity.
The lumber Industry Is really un
