Newbury hu written letter to the paper complaining that the swnlnga In front of the etoree are 10 low that fee and other long-legged cltliena bark their nogglna when they fall to un ravel In time. Thle l too bad. How ever. It la cheaper for the elongated to (crunch a bit, than It la for the merchant to go to the expenae of elevating the awnings to the point where thoae with an ample supply of legs can stretch with comfort and Impunity. If Mr. Newbury went wading In Bear Creek, he would de mand that the Bear Creek bridges be raised, no doubt. I have known him for 40 years and most of the time he la squatted In an auto, with a top built too low. He end others of his Ilk Just wslk enough to keep from forgetting how to put one foot In front of the other. The human body la constructed ao It can bo lowered Instinctively when It looks like the head waa going to collide with some thing hard. I think the awnlnts should be left where they are, and Atty. Newbury, et a, do more oppor tune ducking, or watch where they are going. I am neither tall ayca more or rupt, but when I rammed my topknot Into an awning. It waa due to gawking at objects across the street, or down the road. The awnlnga are out of aate, but ao are the hlgh water panta pockete, the lengthy like Ouatavua keep their hands In, when not waving or pointing eame. The hlghwater pockets enter from the top Instead of the side, and went out of style In 1880. Atty. Newbury argues (which la his business) that the limbs of trees are whacked off 10 feet fr"m terra flrma. so the awnings should be the ssme distance up. Several have eliminated overhanging limbs, by cutting down the whole tree. Tills saved going to the distant forest five miles away, and getting a load of wood. This re quired half a day, and It only took the tree 30 years to hsve a limb big enough to hang over the sidewalk. 1 hope the merchants do not close up their stores to keep from raising the awnings. When they cut the tree limbs off ten feet from the ground the kids have Just that najich farther to fall, when they reach the tree clhnblng age. Ir Atty. Newbury could see from his summit to the aldewaik he would note thst youth with wheels Is prone to .leave their bicycles where they dis mount, generally In the middle of the sidewalk. I hsve seen bicycles piled up In the middle of the sidewalk a hlBh as the Vlntle Beall corn. Why does he not register a protest against this evil? It Is hsd for the bsby buggy traffic. After the navigator has worked her way through a Jungle of bicycKs. she encounters a Jungle of rilplomsta standing on the corner ad miring the Russian government, and culn their own. They cannot flit over the rldewalk Impedimenta llac the lofty Individual can shrivel when he cornea to a low-hanging awning. Bicycle rscka are provided, but like church pews, they are seldom filled. There Is a lot of things In this world thst need fixing worse then the swnlngs. but Atty. Newbury la to be congratulsted on scaring up controversy over awnings, as ths peo ple have hud nothing to argue about sliKe the Depression. I have tried not to make this letter over his head.

Editorial Correspondence R0CKF0RD, 111., July 18. Both local and Chicago papers today, plaster front pages with news that the "big union" leaders in San Francisco have sued for peace. It's about time! We agree one hundred per cent with the remarks of General "NBA" Johnson, made at the University of California, when he received a Phi Beta Kappa key said remark being featured also in the same papers. An industrial strike against specific grievances is ONE thing. A GENERAL strike in sympathy with a local walk out is finite ANOTHER. The first action is or should be a con ceded right of organized labor. But the second action is nothing of the sort. It is, as General Johnson well says, a threat to the community, a menace to orderly government, it is civil war. "When the means of food supply milk to children, neces sities of life to the whole people are threatened, that is bloody revolution. "We learned during the war, that there are worse weapons than great guns, and that economic strangulation is the most potent of them. One side of a warring business element can no more use it, than it could go into the street and shoot down innocent bystanders in cold blood with machine guns. "Tou just can't do this in a free country. It just won't work. If the responsible elements of organized labor do not purge themselves of this blight immediately, they will set back the clock of labor organization 10 years!" e s Strong words and absolutely true ones. Interest in the rights of labor, sympathy for the underdog, were never stronger, than they are today. But there is a limit and this limit has long since been passed in this longshoreman's strike on the Pacific Coast. Unless the leaders of organized labor, clean their own house, throw out the professional agitators and communistic trouble makers, who are plainly trying to "USE" organized labor, for their own selfish and destructive purposes, then the proper law enforcement agencies, supported by an aroused publio opinion, will do it for them. We certainly hope that this report from San Francisco proves to be true. When the publio welfare is at stake, when peace and security, when the very lives of children and the ill and helpless are involved, then there should be no issue be tween labor and capital in this country. The action ot the general strike committee, in now advising arbitration.-r-after arbitration had been refused, indicates, that as far as the RESPONSIBLE labor leaders are concerned, there is none. For over a week now this labor situation on the coast has been the outstanding national issue. The Chicago Tribune has its own representative in San Francisco, and carries from four to eight columns of strike news every day, often with special telcphoto illustrations. Yesterday, we motored up to Sauk Cits', Wisconsin, a quaint little Village on the banks of the Wisconsin river to see an old friend, stopping in Madison for lunch. The Madison papers were issuing street extras on the latest strike developments. Lunched on the terrace of the University Memorial building, which looks out directly on the blue waters of beautiful Lake Mendota, being pretty well surrounded by summer school stu dents and professors. The one subject of conversation was the San Francisco situation. We were not surprised to overhear some comments, expressing doubt of the truth of press reports, intimations that the vested interests were trying to take ad vantage of the longshoreman's sttike, to destroy organized labor, under the guise of putting down the Reds. Throughout the country in university circles similar com ments may no doubt bo heard. A greHt deal of whimgdoodlc has been spoken and written concerning Bolshevism in Amer ican colleges, yet for downright PREJUDICE against what might be termed the "UPPER dog," and illogical bias in favor of the "UNDER," nothing short of Communist headquarters can equal the campus of the average fresh water college. But it is ACADEMIC. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that eight out of ten of our college boys and girls GRADUATE as radicals (in theory at least) and after four or five years' contact wiUi the real world, discard their advanced political theories, along with other products of an impractical and sophomorio idealism. The unreal world of academic theory is one thing; the real world of fact is alwavs quite another. The Rotary club of Rockford is doing a fine thing here. Since the close of the World War this organization has main tained a summer hoys' and girls' camp, south of the city ou the blinks of the Kisliwaukeo river. The daily activities of the camp are nicely balanced between work and play, between discipline and freedom. Rockford is essentially a manufactur ing city, nod while it is afflicted with no slum's in the Chicago sense, the underprivileged boys and girls, have few oppor tunities for healthful outdoor life, during the torrid summers. In this camp, hygenic quarters are provided, plenty of whole some, nourishing food, and one visit to the camp is enough to demonstrate, that everyone is having a grand and glorious time. Like the CCC camps in the west, this Rotary camp is a modern and up-to-date clinic for the development of better health, moral and physical, a genuine const ruetive factor in the promotion of good citizenship. And than...s to the Rockford Rotary, everything is free. s On the jaunt to Sauk City not to he confused with Sauk Center, Minnesota, the birthplace of Sinclair (Red) Lewis, we passed through what is undoubtedly the finest dairy country in the United States, probably outside of Denmark, in the world. The drought however, has this year, hit it hard. Along (he highway, on farm after farm, reapers were busy cutting the stunted grain. The bundles were pathetically small, aud full of weeds. We noticed several grain fields, in which the hogs and chickens had been turned, the burned grain being only a few inches high. Going and coming many huge motor trucks were passed, which looked like oil trucks' in shape and sire, but on closer inspection proed to be milk tanks, painted white and we are told porcelain lined. Turn the spigot and out flows the lacteal fluid. . R. W. R.

Before adopting them I experimented with these fearsome t h 1 n g a called draughts, at the same time keep ing beyond con versational spray range of people who showed symptoms of colds f pardon: crl). I found that even a cold draft thru an open window on my neck when I sat in an over- het.tri rrrfim did noi even cause atlff neck . , . altho I had been advised I was very susceptible to illness of this nature, having had chronic sin us Infection soma years ago . . . Por more than a year now I have not had c-r-1, and my children were never ao free from such Illness. No wonder you are unpopular with all of your profession. My family haan't needed a doctor for nearly two yearal It la certainly wonderful to think that one need never have another co c-r-l If careful to keep out of rane of those who have them . . . (Mrs. R. A. C.) Shucks. I'm not ao unpopular with all the docs. For that matter, what doctor ever was popular with his col leagues? But you'd be astonished if you could see some of the lettera phy sicians write to me. I'm astonished myself I have a fat file of physi cians' letters, some of which sharply criticize certain of my teachings, and not without merit I fear, but alto gether they manifest a apirit which is Just the opposite of that which Mr. R. A. C. imputes to the profes sion. It is still Just aa true as ever that good doctors are constantly striving to diminish their own busi ness. A draft never causes any Illness. I'm prepared to maintain that fact against any and all superstitions or traditions to the contrary. . . But a draft often causes a stiff neck or lame arm or other muscular stiffness or soreness. Let no one run away with the notion that I aay . drafts are harmless. All I aay la that drafts nev er cause any of the Illnesses the old fogies attribute to them, directly or ! Indirectly. And I don't care if your old logy physician or health adviser holds himself out aa the voice of "science." The correspondent concludes with NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, July 30.

There the lady la perhaps over sanguine, yet it la my firm convic tion that if physicians generally and health officers particularly would dis card the silly old notions about "cold" or "exposure" predisposing to illness or "lowering resistance" no tions for which there la no sound baela in experimental or scientific medicine It would be possible to prevent most of the measles and scarlet fever that prevails among children. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Refrigeration What temperature should a re frigerator be in order to keep food fresh. The refrigerator repair man saya 150 degrees Is correct. (Mrs. R. W). Answer That moderate coolness will keep milk from souring too quickly, but of course 45 or 40 de grees la better. Hydrocele My doctor Jabs a tube Into the ac cumulation of water and drains It at Intervals, but that will never cure hydrocele. I am tired of this painful procedure every six weeks. (H. L. a.) Answer The alternative la a lap-up for a few days, while the aac is in cised, packed and made to heal by closing the space where the fluid collects. This Is the only permanent relief. Starch Is Food I eat a lot of laundry starch. Does it harm me In any way? X wonder It It Is the cause of obstinate consti pation? (V. W.) Answer It is food. It does no harm and doea not cause constipation, but it la a mistake, to take so much starch, because that la the main fault of ordinary diet too much carbo hydrate. (Copyright 1934, John r.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THERE la evidence, as these words are written, that calmer counsel is prevailing in the strike that has disrupted the Pacific coast. Overtures for arbitration of -the point at issue have been made, and unless something occurs to arouse angry passions again It seems prob able that these overtures will be ac cepted by both sides. HERE In Southern Oregon which Is more or less of a country com munity and therefore apt to think along common-aense lines we are certainly pleased at the prospect that calmer counsel and common sense have an opportunity to prevail and bring about a settlement of the costly strike. INCIDENTALLY, have you noticed that on Important Issues the coun- t district are generally apt to think stralghter and more sanely than the big cities? Believe it or not, the country dis tricts are the ballast that keeps the ship of state on an even keel. - - ANOTHER thought, In connection with the calmer counsel that seems likely to prevail in the strike: What a marvelous thing It would have been for the WHOLE WORLD If calmer counsel could have prevailed at the .time back In 1914 when the Germans broke over the Belgian bor der, and as a result they bad RE TURNED HOME Instead of going on and precipitating the most disastrous! war In history. j If that had happened, we should all be Immeasurably farther along the road to progress than we are now, and much of the terrible Buffering and disappointment of the past 20 years wfuld have been avoided. Calmer counsel in moments of pas sion la a great thing. BUT LET'S change the subject. We've probably talked too much about the strike In the past, few days for Mir own good. The strike Isn't the only thing that is going on In the world. -- TWO DISPATCHES from Englsnd catch the eye. One relates that Great Britain plans to double her air forces within the next few years adding at least 60 squadrons to what she haa now. The other tells of a great highway tunnel, the longest In the world, more than two miles from portal to portal, that has Just been completed under the Mersey river. All the biggest things in the world, you see, aren't In America. DOUBLING the British air forces haa to do with war. Completing the great highway tunnel under the Mersey river haa to do with peace. In the long run. the completion of the Mersey highway tunnel will be the most important, although It wilt get much less notice. BABE RUTH Is hit by a batted ball, and suffers a severe contusion of the leg. Quite properly, the Hem draws space on the front page, along with the latest strike developments. That's fine. Babe Ruth's Injury is a NORMAL Interest, such as we are the finest Lunch Meat for or Outing concerned with In times of happi ness and prosperity. If we were more concerned with such things now, and LESS with strikes and communists and Impend ing wars, it would be better for us. THE PRESIDENT "is approaching Hawaii, which sheds a special in terest upon that island territory. Here la a ourlous fact regarding the Hawaiian Islands, which perhaps you didn't know: In the 34 years since they became an Island possession, the treasury of the United States has collected from them, In taxes of all sorts, the rather considerable aum of (185,000,000 and in the same period federal adminis trative expenses In the Islands have amounted to 135,000,000, leaving s. theoretical cash profit of approxi mately $150,000,000. That's certainly more than en be said for the mainland. Over here we have the notion that we ought to get back from the federal govern ment about ten dollars for each dol lar of taxes we pay. WE CAN'T, of course, You can't take more water out of a barrel than you pour Into It. But that la what the politicians have taught us to expect.
