Editorial Correspondence
NEW YORK CITY, June 15. A folossal robot, with a good
stabilizer but run-down clockwork, against a gladiator with a
quick, shrewd mind, and a punch in either hand, that was the
story of the Baer-Carnera fight in Long Island City last night,
which will be old news to Medford by the time these lines arc
printed, but to New York, is still the big news of today.
As luck would have it we secured a ringside seat. For the
first time in many years, a big fight was a sellout, and the
speculators made a killing. As high as $100 was paid for ring
side seats, when it was certain tho night would be a balmy one,
and word sifted around via the sport grapevine, that Baer's
alleged poor condition was all a stall, and a now world's cham
pion would be crowned.
As becomes a sport fan from the wide open spaces we were
in our seat ahead of time. The sunset was still glowing in the
western horizon, and a wispy disk of a new moon hung in space,
a whitish-lemon parenthesis in the Heavens. Even so there
were probably ten or fifteen thousand people in their seats,
when the first preliminary began. In two steel towers on stilts
swarms of camera men were busy as ants, pulling up something
or other in baskets on long ropes from tunc to time. The first
celebrity to arrive was the squat, swarthy Mayor La Guardia
of New York, escorted by a blue-coated bodyguard. He looked
like a pugilist himself, and bowed right and left to the voters,
who gave him scattering applause.
As usual no one paid any particular attention to the prelimi
naries. They were all heavyweights, stable mates of the two
principals, and they put on pretty lively bouts although there
was only one knockout. Before the sunset glow faded into
night, a swarm of airplanes and
illuminated backdrop of the
letters which spelled out enticing ads for sport clothes, night
clubs, and restaurants in Greater Manhattan. An army of ven
dors swarmed over the flat bowl, white coated and raucous,
field glasses, cigars and cignrets, air cushions, White Rock,
"Beer for Baer and Baer for Beer." Sport sheets with pictures
of all the fighters, and programs for only a nickel. Many gay
parties in evening dress laughed and staggered in as ten o'clock
approached. One young college boy in a white mess jacket,
hopped along with a pretty girl on his arm. He couldn't find
his seat and didn't seem to care.
a mile back to the distant bleachers did care however when the
pair stood against the ringside rail and obstructed the view.
"Take off that messy jacket and wipe your feet on it" yelled
one. "Go on back to your Park Avenuuu" yelled another.
The boy waved back good-naturedly and the couple still arm in
arm danced on. Many had dined not wisely but too well one
hilarious New York club man, who insisted upon twirling his
boating straw on his stick, and trying to whistle a marching
tune, was finally picked up bodily by his mates and poured into
his seat directly behind the press row. But it wasn't rowdy.
It wag all in good fun.
. When ten o'clock was reached the pugilistic celebrities start
ed to crawl thru the ropes, Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney to
gether, shaking handB, posing for the camera boys, laughing,
Tunney is huge and towered above the man he defeated,
certainly the best looking and best dressed ex-champion of the
world, a nice face, fine eyes, the hands of a stevedore, and
the brow of a professor 1
Willie Ritchie, Jack Sharkey looking big and soft Lough
ran, not as handsome as he used to be, Jack Johnson with his
inevitable boret and scores of others. It was the usual thing,
but seemed to go off with more
tomary.
And then the big fight began.
the perfect word for this oircus
Great Stone face come to life,
through all tho motions of a living human being, but at no time
giving' one the impression of being one. We had glasses and
watched him intently, fascinated. Punched and battered,
knocked down eleven or twelve times, bloody nose, cut check,
swollen lips, yet never the slightest change in facial expression.
One felt one could have taken a knifo and sliced off one ear,
and it would not havo affected that mechanical Colossus any
more than taking off the tail lamp of a moving truck would
have affected that combination of gears, cogs and clutches. He
simply wasn't human. Didn't look human, didn't act it. He
was very pale when he came in, that huge papicr-maeho face
retained the same unearthly pallor throughout. But there was
no stopping him. He had been wound up and put in the ring
and there he was going to remain, until he completely ran down.
As for getting knocked down that was nothing to write home
about. That was to be expected. The mechanical stabilizer,
the nicely balanced auto-gyro within would see to it that the
proper equilibrium would be attained again. And it DID!
....
As this is written there is still some doubt as to whether
Camera did or did not ask tho referee to stop the fight. That
is the sport writers are in doubt. This particular correspondent
isn't. Ho is CERTAIN no such request was ever made', or ever
would be made. Tho Italian sido show froak isn 't that kind of
a person. He would no more ask for quarter than a Pickwick
motor bus would ask for it. Ho was, we repeat, in that ring
to stay, and navigate, until the clockwork ran down, or some
important gadget or other refused to function. And the gadget
would havo to be important. Anything as trivial as a right eye,
or a set of teeth, or a couplo of fingers would make no differ
ence. The difficulty would have to be vital.
The fight was unusually interesting for two reasons, with a
mammoth like Camera still on his feet and pawing forward,
there was always a chaneo ho would really hit his slender oppo
nent or step on him in short suspense was sustained until tho
fight was over and second, it was such a pretty study in con
trasts. No one could be moro alivo, physically, mentally and emo
tionally than this combination Satyr and Play Boy,' Max Baer,
no one could be more thoroughly DEAD than Da'l'rimo: Baer
ras not still a moment, not the
he was crouching over until his head was even with his wasp
like waist one minute, sti 'cling erect as a London Bobby the
next, laughing liko a daiwug Faun when tho round started,
then without a warning, suddenly leaping at his foe like a
panther from abush, biftl bang! swish I smanhl a shot to the
giant's solar plexus that bent him over grunting, then an over
hand right literally thrown over his opponent's guard to the
side of the eye. Then quiet again, retreating, covering up,
circling back, another change Baer with his anna down, a
cruel leer on his hiindsomo face, defying the glandular mons
trosity and actually taking his shove-like punches without
batting an eye then a sudden chargo again. Talk about color,
speed, change of paeo and what havo yon. Baer may bo a bum
and a show-off and a generally no-good kid as far as moral
values arc concerned hut ho is a real fighter, a real champion,
in the writer's judgment one of the most dangerous caballoros
that ever entered the bull ring.
And Da Primo was never anything hut a circus freak and so
remains ho shouldn't bo in a ring with boxing gloves, but on
tho platform with tho bearded lady on ono side and the snako
charmer on the other. Sreaking of snakes, Camera's biceps
look exactly like a mid portion of a brown boa constrictor
if there ia such a thing I we mean a brown boa. Of course
there is such a thing as Camera for we saw "Hcem" thn we
feel any hayseed like the undersigned would have been justified
in giving one glanoo and agreeing with the hayseed that there

lying abed requires from 1,500 to
1,800 calories a day to prevent actual
loss of weight, strength and vitality.
An adult man or woman doing the
lightest kind of work or play or alt
ting about most of the time and
getting little or no exercise, requires
2,500 to 3,000 calories dally to pre
vent loss of weight, strength and
vitality. How can a wiseacre expect
to keep well on such & restricted
diet? It might have sufficed in the
stone age, but hardly today. It might
have served In the time when the

that time coincides with the time

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
.Shoe Itppulr
My husband, a very thin man, does
shoe repairing. When he does grind
ing he breathes considerable dust. I
am worried about the effect of this
on his health, but he Insists It won't
harm him. (Mrs, G. C.)
Answer The dust Is comparatlvely
harmless. A greater risk In such work
Is Inhalation of fumes of carbon di
sulphld In cement used for applying
Invisible patches, etc. Where this gut
ta-percha cement la used the ventil
ation should be free. The applica
tion of shoe dye Is a hazard to the
worker In a poorly ventilated shop.
Imperturbability
I ask If you will kindly repeat the
gist of the suggestion you gave, of
something the dentist can use along
with a local anesthetic to safeguard
. . . (Mrs. A. T.)
Answer The suggestion offered by a
good physician who has been called
repeatedly to help dentists In trou
ble, Is that the dentist should ad
minister along with the local anes
thetic, l'A grains of sodium amytal
This tends to prevent untoward ef
fects from the novocalne or other
local anesthetic and to render the
patent Imperturbable.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Q PEAK IN Q at the opening aeas'.on
u of the 6lst convention of the
Oregon State Orange In Rose burg on
Tuesday, State Master Ray W. 0111
made two statements that, coming
from the state head of the country's
leading farm organization, are In
teresting.
COMMENTING on the agricultural
adjustment act and the national
recovery act, he said:
'Whlle crop restrictions must be
used, the farmers of America cannot
be forced to submit to regimentation
of their crops. The problem must be
approached from a different angle.1
That Is to say. In Mr. Gill's opin
ion, rugged Individualism Isn't dead
yet among the farmers of America.
XHEN he added?
1 "Much can be accomplished by
withdrawing marginal and sub-marginal
lands from cultivation, but I am
convinced we have been thinking too
much about crop reduction rather
than Increased consumption."
-
THIS writer, Who disagrees with Mr,
Gill frequently, agrees with him
absolutely on that point.
A11 the talk one hears these days
Is of restricting the output, working
less, boosting the price. In this hum
ble Individual's opinion, prosperity
NEVER WAS created In that way,
and NEVER WILL BE.
The way to have properlty is to
work more, produce more, lower the
price and HAVE MORE.
XTOTJ can't get away from thlt
fundamental fact:
The more we produce, the more we
have. The less we produce, the less
we have.
You can't have more by producing
less.
HpHE thing that is out of Joint Is
distribution. If we could only
learn how to distribute equally what
we produce, so that each of us could
exchange what he produces for what
the other fellow produces at a fair
and equal rate of exchange, the bogey
of over-production that now frightens
us so greatly would dlsapper.
AS a regulator of production, es
" pecially farm production, old
Mother Nature has been a rather
outstanding success.
Everytlme she has turned her hand
to the Job, during the several thous
and years of which we have a his
torical record, she has got away
with it.
If you went to Sunday school in
the years when you should, you will
remember Joseph's lnterpreatlon of
the Pharaoh's dream of the seven fat
cows and the seven lean cows which.
he said, symbolized the seven years
of lean production that follow the
seven years of fat production.
Even away back there, you e
they recognized the fact that Nature
in time, couree her own over-produc
tion.
MAN. on the other hand, has been
a rather outstanding fizzle it
regulating his own production and so
boosting his own prices.
In recent years, the British tried
It In the case of rubber, with dis
astrous results, and Brazil tried It Jn
the case of coffee, with equally dis
astrous results.
THE special grain review of the
bureau of agriculture economics
of the department of agriculture,
dated June 1, has this to say:
"Prolonged dry weather through
out most of the Important wheat
producing countries of the Northern
Hemisphere haa brought Irreparable
and widespread damage to small
grains and suggests the shortest
wheat crop In recent years."
It rather looks aa if Mother Nature
might be taking a hand again at

Philosophy of a New Deal.
To the Editor:
I am addressing an open letter to
your paper entitled "Pioneering in
the Philosophy of a New Deal." I
trust you may see In its content and
context a contribution worthy of pub
lication in the columns of The Mall
Tribune :
Pioneering In the Philosophy of
New Deal.
One of the main tasks before our
western civilization Is to rationalize
our standards of thought and action.
In their relation to the affairs of dally
life.
Broadly speaking, the Jubilee and
Pageant in Medford celebrating the
state of Oregon's 75th year of state
hood was something tangible, upon
which to base the thought "Pioneer
ing In the Philosophy of a New Deal'
In the light of the fact that the
Jubilee and Pageant fully sustained
all the truths enunciated tn Secre
tary of Agriculture Wallace's address,
to the effect that the people of this
western country did not know how
near they were to the means of a
solution for their problems.
In the method, 1. e., symbolism and
analogies embodied In the presenta
tion of Oregon's progress representing
75 years of statehood, lies an ob
scure truth. That Truth, brought
to light, may well form a base for
the solution of many an enigma In
western life, as well as giving articu
lation to Secretary Wallace's address.
Upon such a base there Is ampl
ground for a new technic in tho pre
sentation and development of a com
prehensible Idea, the Idea of a new
philosophy of life.
The germ of the Idea lies dormant
In the peculiar culture of thought
forms of the present day. Long ago
the western philosophy hid the light
of Its truths behind a bushel of
speculative thought that dealt only
with corporal forms.
Metaphysically this created a bar
ren and exhausted soil for the opera
tive science of the intuitive.
This new deal In philosophy would.
as Oswald Spengler puts It tn his
notable work "The Decline of the
West." It would be a philosophy that
expands Into the conception cf a
morphology of world history, of the
world-as-hlstory In contrast to the
morphology of the world-aa-nature.
The world -as-naturs that has only
been the theme of philosophy.
It Is with this Idea I am concerned.
to call together here In Medford and
elsewhere those interested in this
'great work."
Those who look upon this task as
one of building a new base, upon
which the pillars of this new philos
ophy will rest and provide and sue-
taln a perephery more universal In
perspective, to buttress in Its decad
ence a philosophy of an era that has
passed.
This can be done. There Is no renl
reason to oppose the proposal to start
this movement here in Medford and
fulfill the prophecy made long ago
that this nation, under God, shall ex
perience a new spiritual birth and
dedication that government of the
people, for the people, by the people
shall not perish from the earth.

Snapshots From
Camp Clatsop
CAP CLATSOP, Ore., June 15.
Much extended order drill has been
given to the First Batalllon, 188th
Inf., with Company A taking an ac
tive part. Nearly seven hours in two
afternoons taken up In that manner,
taxing the strength as well as the
patience of the men. However, re
sponding to the drill with the full
est degree of co-operation, the new
members of the local command are
beginning to understand It.
T. O. (Ted) Baker, formerly secre
tary of the Medford chamber of com
merce, who is now spending his va
cation at the summer resort, Sea
side, near Camp Clatsop, was a vis
itor of the company today, visiting
the officers and the enlisted men.
Mr. Baker expects to make frequent
trips to the camp while It Is In prog
ress, and will no doubt receive a
hearty welcome from the entire
company.
The annual brigade field Inspec
tion meet, usually slated for the first
Saturday In camp, was pushed ahead
this year, and as a result extra work
was given to the company. Results
of the Inspection have not been an
nounced but It Is expected that the
company will receive a good rating.
Exceptional weather haa been the
feature so far at the encampment,
but no one knows how long It will
last. Clatsop Is noted for Its sudden
changes In weather conditions.
New sentences and fmrases used fre
quently by members of the company:
"Eugene, you say the funniest
things, you hag." Harry Du Doss.
"That's the last straw, I'll tender
my resignation." Ed Robbins.
"Wanne make somethln out of It?1
Jerry Boshears and Ralph Cowglll.
"I'm tired, let's rest." Bob Mur
phy, Joe Rawhauser, Gene Coats.
"Go down to the mess hall and get
a yard of skirmish line." All cor
porals. Flash! One of the biggest athletio
events of the company was staged
tonight between "Grandpa" Boyd,
the pride of the first squad, and
"Tarzan" Goodhtjw, flrey he-man of
brawn and muscle, who decided to
tangle for the Imaginary champion
ship of the first platoon. After many
moments of grunts, groans and other
undeterminable noises, "Grandpa"
Boyd finally emerged from a tangled
heap and was proudly dragged off,
the winner.
