Dillingcr and his gang have a hideout here. They don't happen to be occupy ing it at the present time, but they have guards, watch dogs and a couple of machine guns, at the place. This startling information was given us by Miss Mary K., a native daughter of Lauderdale, who has lived on and worked her own little farm for over half a century, and knows so much about the flora and fauna of this section of Wisconsin that naturalists, browsing about here, never fail to consult her. She is gray and bent by "rheumatii-.'' now, but in the late nineties could and did do her stint in the hayficld with the men. She still milks a couple of cows, and tends a flock of cHickens, but what she calls the hard work is done by hired men. "If you don't believe it" said Mary, noting our quizzical smile, "go up and see for yourself. They won't shoot you. An old man and a boy live on the place, and if the dogs don't scare you off they will." The locale of the hideout we know well. It is at the far western end of Middle Lake and known as the Sulphur Springs, surrounded by marsh, tules and being so choked with weeds at many places that you can t row a boat but have to stand up, pull out an oar and push it over them. The springs themselves, are deep and very beautiful banked with solid weeds down to the bottom, where the sand boils up, like porridge on a hot stove, the prevailing colors being a light sulphur yellow, and a and a sapphire blue sometimes rowed up there a favorite Sunday afternoon excursion after the Saturday night dance, to which to invito the "best girl." It was always a surprise after pushing the flat bottomed boat through the 8cd choked channel, and floating over the crystal clear springs, to find that the boat stayed calmly on the surface cf the water, instead of dropping down those precipitous mossv cliffs to the bottom far below ! However sve didn't accept Springs but instead motored into police department. "What about this Dillinger hideout at Sulphur Springs?" wc inquired. "Well WHAT about it'" came back the "chief." - "Is there such a hideout?" "That's what they say and there's one over at Tibbet's too, and a third in the middle of Troy marsh Dillinger hideouts are thicker round here than flies around a beer barrel." "All a lot of hooev, eh?" "That what YOU said" (The "chief" didn't seem to be in very good humor.) "What do you say?" "I say nothing." "OK chief. Just a newspaper man browsing about, thought I might get a story." The speed cop immediately softened. "Newspaper man eh? Why didn't you say so in the first place. So many wise euvs nose around here since that Twohy clean-up, we got to look out, or we won't do nothing by answer silly questions. What paper you you represent! "The Mail TRIBUNE." How about it is there anything t( theM vm tgiM.

It worked. At least his excellency did not ask further de tails and proceeded to become almost human. The Twohy kidnappers were caught by the Elkhorn police when they made a break from their hideout near Lauderdale for Chicago but ran into a telephone pole at Bethel church about two miles from where this is being written. Since then evprv-nnn hna hppn .orlnin tli Tli'llin,..-... :.. . .... , . , 1 may be, but the chief doubts it. mer resort here, the Twohys were caught here, the section is so popularly regarded as an underworld hideout that it's the last place in the world any criminal as Rinart as Dillingcr would choose for his rendezvous. However, reports come in ery day that the master criminal is in southern Wisconsin somewhere, and the chief can't ignore them, for you never can tell and if a tip should be disregard ed and then the old fox should show up, what, a SAl that would make out the Elkhorn police to be! Yes he had looked up the Sulphur Springs story. There was an old man and a kid in a broken down farm house out there, and they did have dogs and a couple of guns, but that was no crime. Anyone living in the woods can have docs and irons n,I (can order off trespassers if they said 111c cniei, and as long as will mind ours." Returning to Lamlordalft "Mary K" was informed of the result of the interview. "Hah!" quoth she, "these countrv cops are jest like nil the rest of Vm skeered to death. Hut Onole Snm ain't lie's hvn told and one of these nights that Kul'hur Springs hideout is Kom to disappear and a lot of had egus with it. Just murk what I'm telliu' ye and if they pet Dillinger and one or two of his gals, 'twont surprije me." If Mary K. is as wise about crooks as she is about birds and flowers a big front page story may break around here.

Both have ; I MIKC passed to their reward, but for many years they got just what I they wanted. Eight miles from a railroad, no phones or electric. : lights, no daily mail this side of Elkhorn, Lauderdale was for nearly two decades as cut off from the rest of the world, as the lower reaches of Rogue river. In the entire Middlewest there was no better fishing. In the early morning or evening, whipping the bull-rushes just across the channel never failed to bring home a good string of black bass while anchoring the boat in the middle of the lake seldom failed to add a pike or pickerel to the fish crate tied to the pier. We shall never forget the 21 pound pickerel that Uncle B. caught everyone around the lake came down to see it, before it was cut into three parts and baked, for it was far too large for the family cook stove. Ah "THEM were the days", but the gasoline engine de stroyed them. The automobile soon brought in the crowds, and the put-put boats scared those fish to death that were not caught by the casting pros from the Chicago ioop. In the early days even we boys scorned blue gills. One could pull them in from the end of the pier, as fast as one could bait a hook. Perch were slightly more difficult. One found them principally in the gravel shoals, and they were not like sunfish and blue gills, stupid greedy things. At this time of the year bass and blue gill fishing is about all that remains, and you have to hunt them, they won't hunt you and dash in dark shoals for a hook only partially covered by a nip of raw ham. Early in the season, there is still good bass fishing both black and small mouth, but the pike and pickerel have gone. Old Dave and his spaniel dog have gone too. Old Dave his last name was Dunham, was a hermit direct from the auld sod in Ivelant, and it was from him this land was bought in 18S3. He smoked a clay pipe, drank raw whiskey from a tin pitcher, and propelled his flat bottomed boat by pushing the oars instead of pulling them. He had a reason and a good one. He wanted to see where he was going, and what was in front of him, for he was a hunter and a trapper, and the lakes were alive with mink, musk-rat and wild ducks in the early days. He seldom went out without a gun, even when the wild life" had rlisnnnpsr. ed and therefore to us boys he was always a romantic and adventurous spirit. A crack shot, the sound of his rifle always un ul some Kina ior wasted his ammunition. In his and crows and anyone who can wiin a ritle, need never take lessons in marksmanship from Buffalo Bill. , Old Dave died as he would have wished, in his bunk with his dng at his feet, and a jug of whiskey by his side.

APPARANCES What with all the startling effects that dazzle the eyes these days It seem still the rule that the more ,54tweaj brains the better the taste, or "the dumber the dame the funnier the m a k e - u p." A woman above the a o p h o m o ronlc level of Intelli gence puts It on with enough skill to keep the cas ual beholder guessing. Even when the face Is washed you can't Jude by appearances. Pale persons are not necessarily anemic. Anemic Indi viduals sometimes have rosy com plexion, The healthiest youth Is likely to look pale In comparison with the florid adult of mature ae who may have one foot In a hole already. Pallor Is noticeable In various con ditions even though the Individual's blood strength Is up to psr. Some times pallor Is sjwoclated with an actual increase In the number of red corpuscles In the blod, as in mild or chronic carbon monoxide polsonlns, where the blood count is likely :o show more red corpuscles than the healthy person's blood haa In certain cases of Brlght's disease, or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) In the early atages, the pa tients look anemic but are not. Morphine, heroin, cocaln addicts often show a pallor yet are not neces. sarlly anemic. The pallor of chronic lead poison ing, without any consistent lowering of blood strength, is familiar to phy sic ions. It is a wonder I am alive today.

PHONE 1 Flight 'o Time Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THE general strike threatened at San Francisco for days material ized on Monday morning, completely paralyzing the metropolitan area with a population of more than a million and a quarter persona The wires tell us: "All business and traffic ceased, and the national guard moved swift ly to prevent violence." NOT swiftly enough, however, for we read In the papers such statements aa these: "A mob stormed a grocery store, smashed the doors and stripped the place of $2000 worth of grocerlea be fore police riot squada arrived." "An egg truck was overturned at San Ramon. Strike pickets cruised In Llvermore, Issuing warnings to gasoline station operators to close." "A truck carrying a load of pears waa sent hurtling Into a canyon at Dublin" A LITTLE farther on we read: "Na tional guard troops, with tanks, machine guns and one pounders, be gan to converge rapidly upon the. stricken area. "Regular army troops stood ready for call at the Presidio military head qua rtera here." WHAT does It airinean? It means Just this: Labor wants something which employers have re fused to give, so FORCE, In the form of the general strike, has been re sorted to to obtain what is wanted. Aa always happens, the use of force on one side calls for the use of force on the other. WHAT will come of It? Well, back In 1914 Germany wanted something which the rest of Europe refused to give, so Germany resorted to force to get what she wanted. The result was a war that cost mil lions of Uvea and billions of money representing the savings of people everywhere, that Interrupted and set back the progress of civilization im measurably, and so disorganized the structure of business as to bring on the greatest depression ever known, with vast Increase of poverty and suffering. That la what force does. THE use of force here on the Pa cific Coast, aa represented by the, strike on the one side and the neces sity on the part of the public to protect Itself on the other, will have results exactly similar to those of the world war. The only difference Is they wilt be smaller in size. j Business recovery will 16 set back. unemployment will be enlarged, abil ity of Industry to provide growing buying power will be crippled and poverty will be Increased. Wars always do that, and strikes are wars. -4 WE OF the interior are the Inno cent bystander. We had noth ing to do with the quarrel, but will do our part of the suffering for It, losing our markets while it goes on and for some time afterward while our customers recover from their wounds. But it Is always that way. Holland and Switzerland were innocent by standers when the world war started, but they suffered along with every body else. There la no such thing as Justice when FORCE enters the picture. j - I npHE world war nearly wrecked the world because It hung on to the : nmnt nf Yhm.tinn i Let us hope, at least, that this war of oura here on the Pacific Coast ends quickly, before all the progress we've made in the past year towe.rd, more normal and happier standards of llvine has been destroverf I That's about all there Is to hope for.

Why Not Raise the Awnings. iTo the Editor: My attention has been directed to an order made by the city council, or the proper authorities, that each M property owner shall see that the branches of the trees on his property extending over the sidewalk, shall be trimmed a distance of 10 feet above the sidewalk; and I was strongly im pressed with the necessity for this order. I am Impressed with this par ticularly because of the fact that every awnir.g in Medford Is aliowed to be constructed within six feet of the sidewalk, and this arrangement affords an oppotrunlty for real men to extend to their full height when they get out of the business district. Now when men of such stature as Bob Hammond. John Tomlln, Paul Scherer, Chief McCredle. together with the writer, emerge from their homes, they can do so with a full limit of their height, when walking under their trees that are trimmed 10 feet from the ground: but when th.y reach the business section, in order to avoid colliding with the support of an awning or the flap that extends for 10 Inches to two feet below the 4 support of the awning, they are ill required to telescope themselves about 10 Inches. Y'ou have all observed Paul Scherer slipping several of the vertebraes of his spinal column Into one. so as to avoid bumping hla head against the cross-pieces of the awnings, and others who have attained the height of real men are required to do like wise to a lesser degree. It seems as though the city coun cil's order, when applied to the resi dent aection of the city, was issued for the purpose of allowing men to walk straight up, but that when they reach the business center, either a humped position or a stooping pos ture was to be assumed by them. The ordinance passed by the citv council with rterence to the awnings, and the helnt from the sidewalk, was evident. contemplated for such Lilliputian. as Wilson Walt. Sebastian Apollo, Vern Shanle. Owney Patten and Dr. Holt, and others of like stat ure, and it does not seem a reason able regulation to ha ve the trees In the residence section trimmed 10 fe above the sidewalk and to have the f ) awnings in the business section only six feet above the sidewalk. This awning regulation Is very conducive to the destruction of headgear of mea who have attained to six feet or over. The "eteranl fitness of things," and the total absence of absurdity, is no where better illustrated than by this tree trimming ordinance and this awning ordinance! GUS NEWBURY. July 18, 1934. (Contmueo irom fage une) These are evil days for Republican politicians. There are no government j Jobs to be had. there are few state y Jobs anywhere and. business not bems what it was In the boom days, there are fewer ways In which a politician may be taken care of. One of these Republican politicians, who would appreciate a berth some where, was lunching recently m a crowded restaurant when he was greeted by an old friend who : passing the table. They chatted for a few minutes and then the friend noticed there was another man sit ting at the same table with the ps'l tlcian, but who had remained appar ently uninterested and hardly seemed aware of the politician's presence. "la this man with you?" whispered the friend, as he nodded toward tha man seated at the table. "Is he with me?" exclaimed the politician. "He's paying f-tr my lunch!"
