GETTYSBURG, Pa., June 26,-Bcfore leaving Washington, called at the Press club hoping to see Johnny Kelly of the Oregonian but ho was out of town. Chatted with a couple of newspapermen from New York, who stated among other things that in Senator JIcNary and Congressman Martin, Oregon has two of the most influential representatives in Washington. They regard Senator McNary as the best politician in the Republican party using the term in its better sense. They don't believe he will be the presidential nominee two years hence, but they are sure he will name the nominee. Oregon's senior senator has gone on a stag vacation trip with Senator Couzens of Michi gan, but will return to Washington before going back to the coast. Both men spoke most enthusiastically of Congressman Martin, declaring him not only one of the most popular men in the Lower House, but one of the most capable. Washington newspaper correspondents never deal in guff, and a compliment from such a source in such a place is high praise indeed. Both men asked if there was any chance of General Martin being beaten in his race for the governorship of Oregon. Having been away from the state so long we explained we had only a hazy idea of the political situation at the present writing, but we knew the general's standing in the state is of the highest. "I can't imagine a stato turning down a man like General Martin for any place he might seek" said one of the men. ''He is a very rare type, the only successful military man I have ever known, who is also a genuine humanitarian, a skillful adminis trator, and a champion of the underdog. I was sorry to hear he had decided to leave Washington, but he would make a peach of a governor. One of the best things about him, he has what so few army mon have a sense of humor." We can imagine no more beautiful country than that through which the road from Washington to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania passes, via Frederick, where Barbara Fritchio stuck her head from a second story "window and recited a patriotic poem to Stonewall Jackson. We stopped at Barbara's cottage, a very well kept and attractive place, now a museum, with an entrnce fee of 30 cents, where one can see the usual relics, including the venerable lady's four-poster bed, a counterpane she spun and embroidered with her own hands, and some original letters said to be the only examples extant of Barbara's handwriting. The cottage is beside an attractive stone bridge over a creek, and on the other side is a park, a sunken well, seats, benches and a wealth of green grass. Several itinerants, following the ancient profession of Dusty Rhodes, were taking advantage of the shade. To do justice to the beauty of this country one should really be a poet. It has a peace, a harmony and a perfection, which transcends the powers at least our powers of prose. We can readily understand why General Lee decided to strike the North at this particular point. Lee's troops were close to starvation, they needed clothes and shoes as well as food, and here certainly was the promised land of milk and honey if there ever was one. Such fat, sleeky cows, such fields of red clover and timothy, such fields of waving grain ready for the sickle, such peace, tranquility and abundance! From Frederick to Gettysburg, there isn 't the slightest thing to mar the perfect landscape no rubbish or bill boards, no delapidated barns or farm houses, no bare spots anywhere. It is a rolling mass of green and gold, and thickly wooded hills. And the country must have looked very much the same as Leo marched through it 71 years ago for the great decisive battle of the Civil War started on the first of July and here we are the last of June. , j The monuments and head stones and metal signs must start in along the Frederick turnpike, . at least ten miles south of the little village of Gettysburg. We whizzed by ten or twelvo of them, before we realized what they were. Then a fleeting glimpse of the "81st New York regiment" brought us to our senses and we issued orders to stop at the next sign post, with out fail. At that the next metal tablet was passed beforo the car came to a halt, so we crawled back in reverse gear, all eyes strained to bo the first to read the inscription. This is what was read : . "This tablet erected by the members of Fire Co, 2B, Fair play, Pa., to the memory of Rev. Mr. So and So, killed here Sept. 17, 1932, in an auto accident, etc., etc."! That's one way to join the heroes of Gettysburg in immortal fame! Get yourself killed on the battlefield highway. There are uniformed guides to take you over the battlefield, the trip at 20 miles an hour taking an hour and 45 minutes winch gives ono an idea of the extent of this Civil War engage ment. They charge $3, which isn't bad with a party, but might seem somewhat steep if traveling alone. Speaking of travelling, there are no motor camps in this part of the world, none worthy the name cast of Chicago. Here we wist is another good chance to make moncv.

By FRANK JENKINS YOU may have noticed this dis patch from San Frsnclsco: "The Associated Parmera of Cali fornia and Albert logardy, local com munist official, were agreed today that California haa been selected by the communist party as a focal point for a world-wide revolutionary move ment aimed to overthrow existing government." BIO words, and lota of them. What they mean Is that Califor nia haa been selected as a likely spot to undertake the overthrow of the American system of doing things and the substitution for It ot the Russlsn system. An organisation of California farm ers makes that charge, and the com' munlat leader admits It. That, at least, la what the dispatch saja. HOW about lt Where would you rather live In California, under the American system, or In Russia, under the Rus slsn system? This writes, speaking merely as one humble Individual, would MUCH RATHER live In California, or, even better, Oregon under the American ayatem. QTILL, If the majority of the peo- im tin vuumry preier it, they can have the Russian system. That la the beauty of our system of government It provides freedom of choice for the majority. - HERE la another Interesting para graph from the news of the day: "Estimates of the Dodge corpora tion (one of the big statistics con cerns) have repeatedly declared that there are a million and a half poten tial builders of homea In this coun try, the homea ranging In coat from 3.000 to 17,000. Estimates of the bureau of labor place the num ber at close to 3.000,000." IP TWO MILLION homes were built In this country, at a cost of as.ooo each, it mould mean the tipeodltute Mi m "I asked my physician about the medicine alphadlnltrophenol," writes H. H. D . a registered nurse, from a town a few miles from Hlckvllle on "RsfI Hudson, "and he said he didn't ap prove of It as In his opinion It is poison. The physlclsn la correct In call. Ing dlnltrophenol poison, ' but my stsrs, If we docs were to refrain from using pois ons we should be of little use ' to sick people. "But alter he wtts reassured there was no reason why I should not try It he gave me a prescription and I was to take It under his care." That Is right, too. Dlnltrophenol Is a potent medicine and no one should attempt to take It except under the care of his or . her physician. "You can imagine the kidding I am taking when the druggist notified the doctor and me that no such medi cine can be procured. They have tried six drug houses ... He keeps telling me that you are Just a name for a kind of syndicate and that the real Dr. Brady died many year a ago. As the doctor Is my personal friend I'd like to be able to show him thst there Is such a medicine In existence. Could you have some of It sent to either the drug store or to me per sonally. We will glsdly pay for It If sent collect." Dead am I? My how news spreads. Only recently a physician wrote to a bureau in Washington to ask about a book "written by the late Dr. William Brady shortly before hla death." Of course I may be all wrong, but I am under the Impression that I have been taking dlnltrophenol, both the alphadlnltrophenol and the so dium salt of dlnltrophenol, and I found It worked pretty well on the dog. I tried It out on seversl of my friends also, before I ever mentioned It In thla column. If this nurse will send me the name and address of her physician I'U see that the doctor receives enough ot the alphadlnltrophenol or the sodium salt of dlnltrophenol to test Its efficacy In her case, and I'll credit the cost on the debt I owe to Doth professions. (Just now we need not stop to ex plain that nuralng is not a profession. We have threshed that out before.) It la only fair to mention again that there have been at least two ,'atalltlea ascribed to the unauthorized use of dlnltrophenol by lay persons without medical supervision. I am familiar with the details of these cases, and I do not hesitate to con tinue taking dlnltrophenol myself, nor would I hesltste to give It my patient. From the . booklet "Design for Dwindling." In which I give Instruc tions for reducing, I quote: "The use of this maglo medicine for reducing weight la safe only when the treatment la supervised by your physi cian. In this respect It Is comparable with Insulin." (That Is, InsuUn as given to increase weight.) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hay Fever. Kindly give your advice about the use of calcium lactate for hay fever. (P. B.) Answer If you are subject to hay fever, send a stamped envelope bear ing your 'address and ask for monu grap on Hay rever. A week or two be fore the season begin taking twice a day 10 grains of calcium lactate with a good 'drink of water, and. after two weeka one dally dose for six or eight weeks. Correction. I tske It upon myself to make a cor rection In your statement that "Fat has greater specific gravity, bulk, dls plscement than muscle or other tis sue." (E. H. C.) Answer Thank . you. Of course I should have said fat has lower speciric gravity, that Is, weighs less, than mus cle or other tissue. The Breakers.

Ca mlno, Beverly HIUs, Cal. of SIX BILLION dollars, by private Individuals not ' the government which ha been doing all the spend ing lately. That would give quite a lift to re viving prosperity, wouldn't it? Es pecially here In the lumber country. WHAT Is necessary to bring about the building of these two mil lion homes; which, according to the statistics, are badly needed? Here la the answer: Confidence In the future. People have to be reasonably con fident of the future before they will borrow the money with which to build houses. Not only that, but people who have money have to be reasonably confident of the future before they will LEND the money with which to build houses. Just let this country regain Its confidence In the future, and It will- go forward at a rate that will aston. lsh the rest of the world. i HERE Is something Interesting: ! Last week an amateur aviator ' flew from Southern Oregon to Oak land, from Oakland to Salinas, from Salinas to Watsonvllle, from Watson, vllle to Freano and from Fresno back to Southern Oregon. His total expenditure for gatoliae tor the trip wsa 137.69, and his outlay for oil waa I3.S0. : TRY making that trip with an au tomobile for any less In the way of fuel cost and remember that the time between here and Oakland waa three hours, with the remainder of the trip made with corresponding speed.
