The chief trouble with a hot spell.
Is the uneven distribution of the
shade. Under the present capitalistic

themselves from the shade. As soon

Editorial Correspondence
THE "PORTLAND ROSE" EN ROUTE CHICAGO TO
PORTLAND, July 22. This in a good train and a great "ad"
for Portland. The dining car is air conditioned, fresh roses are
kept on the tables throughout the trip, the menus are good
examples of two-color printing (with-more red roses and a rose
poem with Portland as "motif"), while the tourist cars are said
to he the best running from Chicago to the coast, and look it.
The lounge observation car is also air-conditioned, though
as this is written the thermometer registers 93, which isn't ex
actly chilly. Outside, however, as we rush thru the seared corn
fields of Nebraska, the mercury is said to register 105.
The train is well filled, the Pullman conductor, very atten
tive and courteous, says there are 65 people in the first-class
Pullmans, and about 100 on the rest of the train.
"Travel has been good all summer" he adds, "but when it
cools off we expect it o be even better. Reports indicate many
people in the West are waiting until fall to visit the Fair, and
with eastern tourists starting for home the same time, new
records for travel in the depression era may be established.')
With 65 people in the Pullmans, and the mercury in all but
the lounge car registering over 100, the latter is packed to the
rails with many standing. There are desks and reading tables
to lean against however, and one
conceives the bright idea of assuming a semi-recumbent position.
on top of the radio. The steward is good natured and does not
molest him. The radio started out on a sermon from Omaha,
but a couple of girls from Pocatello, Idaho, objected, so the
Oubs' baseball game was turned on which nr'ms, to please them
better. .
In spite of the heat outside,
seems in good spirits, conversation is brisk, two bridge games
are started, the bar does a rushing business, and we notice,
lemonades and white rock are more popular than beer and highballs.

We take a seat next to a bull
of closely cropped black hair,
one corner or his mouth; small,
suit, which fails to completely cover an ample protruding
tummy. He wastes no time in preliminaries but proceeds to
launch full-steam on a monologue,' in which it is impossible to
squeeze a word edgewise. Ho is a railroad man, worked as a
section boss under the late E. H. Harriman, knows every cut
and fill on the road the Portland Rose is travelling, and is now
living in Washington, D. C.
"Did you know Hir'-iinanl" ho inquires, and apparently
assuming the answer wil.' be. in. the negative continues without
pausing for a reply, "W.,i THERE was a railroad man. ves

; railroads would never have been
lonuy or were until itoosoveit stepped in, it couldn't have
been done, for K. IT. would have set the pace and the other roads
would have had to follow or ro broke. It was a sad day for the
railroad business when E. IT. died. .
' "I came to Chicago from Washington on the B. '& 0.( every
Pullman fir conditioned, not below 70, nor above 75, all the way.
Willard of the B. & O. is like Harriman, knows the game, thinks
of giving the public, service FIRST, and of the stock market
SECOND, while the other stuffed shirts are moaning and wail-

itooseven put tne Kinosh on this hanker management of rail
roads, with his banking and security bills. I have been a Re
publican all my life. I even voted for Hoover. But I am for
Roosevelt now, that kid is a bear cat. Like Harriman he
knows the game. His grandfather was a railroad builder, hrs
uncle Delano was president of the Wabash. He knows how the
railroads have been milked dry and all but ruined, bv the money
changers in Wall Street. lies put a stop to that." Of course
Wall Street is sore, they see an end to their graft, but unless
the people are sound asleep, they aren't sore, and they will keep
F. D. on the job. For he's got their number, and under this
new set-up, railroad men will have a chance to run the railroads,
not as a money making stock jobbing scheme, but as a business,
to provide the people with economical and up-to-date service.
41 You just watch and see. You saw the new Burlington
stream-lined train at the Fair, well in another year every rail
road in the country will have one did you see what the Mil
waukee diil the other day in a run from Chicago to Milwaukee
averaged over 95 miles an hour a regular standard train, too,
in the regular service. That's SERVICE!
"Sure the railroads are waking up, and I expect to see great
er development in the railroad business in the next ten years
than in the last 50. '
"They say the I. C. C. has been the stone around the neck
of the railroads. Just a lot of big business propaganda. The
I. C. C. has helped the railroads. The bankers are what have
ruined the railroads. Give Roosevelt a free hand and he will
return the railroads to railroad men, and the people of this
country will have whnt they should have had 30 vears ago, the
best railroad service in the world!"
The call for luncheon broke up the monologue as far as we
were concerned. The pilgrimage from the lounge car to the
diner, was exactly like walkinc from one section nf unl.i
i storage plant to another, through
ing cars wero dark and deserted save for the lone suffering
porters. b
We rather expected to see the railroad expert in the diner
and wondered if ho would still be talking, but he didn't appear.
When we returned to the lounge car, the seat we had occupied
was taken, by an elderly gentleman in a white stiff shirt without
a collar. His head was supported by ono hand, and his eyes
were half closed, the monologue still going on, under the iin
petui. of a fresh cigar. As we passed we caught the words:
"Did you ever hear how Harriman jockeved Schiff out of
the IT. r., it was this way. E. H. had tit bonds, onlv titi
and"
We passed out of range, and were lucky enough to find a
seat in the "aun room" at the extreme rear.
We apologize to the Century of Progress! As the Portland
Rose did not leave until 11:15 p. m. daylight saving time we
had our first view of the fair at night from the observation
tower above the famous sky ride. From this vantage point over
600 feet in the air, the Chicago Fair is a spectacle of breath
taking grandeur and beauty, beyond our feeble powers to de
scribe. We left in a daze of wonder and amazement. What an
achievement, by that MTTKE TWO-LEGGED PIGMY-MAN !

The Sciatic nerve Is a whale of a
nerve, nearly as thick as your thumb.
If you've ever had a touch of sciatica

sciatic nerve la.
If you haven't
you don't care
where It is.
Sciatica is

Inflammation of

most cases this
disability is due

the sacro
iliac or the sacroiumbar Joints. By
means of stereoscopic x-ray vtewa of
these Joints the physician today may
find evidence of arthritis which
could hardly be detected otherwise.
Of course the skilled physician can
determine by ordinary physical ex
amination whether the sacro-lilac
Joints are normal, and such a test
should be made In every case of
sciatica
One antiquated notion that has
done a great deal of harm to vie
tlms of sciatica Is that this ailment
la "rheumatic" In character, and
that remedies, diet or treatment that
purport to be good for the rheum
atism are likely to help sciatica.
Sciatica treated merely with ''rheum
atism" remedies Is maltreated. This
error contributes considerably to the
bad name sciatica has.
In some cases after long experi
mentation with silly baths, diets and
electricity the seat of the trouble Is
found to be a pelvic of spinal tumor.
Persona who have sciatica or any
similar disability should beware of
sagging beds. One man who was
partially disabled for many months
by sciatica, enjoyed himself most of
the time "trying" this and that
plausible remedy, bath, massage or
colored light treatment and kept
netting a little no better until he
happened to sleep In a strange bed,
a good bed, and enjoyed a night's
rest undisturbed Then he Junked

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Chalk This Down
May I criticize your assertion that
precipitated chalk anu prepared
chalk are the same? The former Is
a crystalline powder, of which about
40 grains makes a teapsoonful
whereas prepared chalk la an amor
phous powder of which 80 grains
makes a teaspoon ful. Medicinally the
amorphous prepared chalk Is always
used. (B. S.)
Answer Thank you. Prepared
chalk . Is much better than sodium
bicarbonate for UBe as an antacid
Chemically it Is calcium carbonate.
Ten grains r: so will neutralize ex
cessive acidity of stomach for an hour

Snoring
I have noticed that If a person
sleeps on hi back he will snore, but
If he turns on his side he will not
snore. (J. T.)
Answer In the supine position the
uvula and soft palate and perhaps
tongue tend to fall back and obstruct
the throat. In the lateral prone posi
tion these structures do not obstruct
breathing. But some persons snore in
any position. They need either reduc
tion of stacker flesh or physical train

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
DOOR DUllngerl" a reader of
MT yesterday's b'j headline was
heard to remark. "They never gave
pblm a chance Just shot htm down."
There was pity, undisguised, In hla
voice, and a touch of resentment
as well.
TO BE sure theydld. And, In this
writer's humble Judgment, they
did exactly right.
If a ravening wolf ran amuck In
your neighborhood, slaying right and
left, and you caught that wolf
emerging from a door, what would
you do? Olve him a head start be
fore you started shooting, so that
he might have a chance to get away
and slay STILL OTHERS?
Of course not. You'd shoot him
down, RIGHT THERE, and know you
had done a good deed.
Dllllnger was a ravening wolf.
IP YOU know your Bible, you must
be familiar with this passage :
' "They who live by the sword shall
perish by the sword."
Dllllnger chose to live by the gun.
It la fitting enough that he should
perish by the gun.
Sensible people will waste no sym
pathy on him. He got what was com
ing to him.
e-e '
LET'S turn from Dllllnger to this
dispatch from Salem:
"Gasoline consumption In Oregon
for the first half of 1934 Increased
4,563,890 gallons over the same per
iod last year, bringing an Increase
in taxes of 1691,244. (
"Consumption for June was 1,335,-
256 gallons greater than in June last
year."
YNCREASING consumption of gaso-
a line is good news, Decause ic in

GREATER BUYING POWER on the
part of the people of Oregon.
Greater confidence and greater
buying power are necessary for the
return of prosperity, and figures In
dicating that BOTH are returning
are pleasing.
Return of normal prosperity for
EVERYBODY, not Just for the few
Is the biggest thing In the world
right now.
WHY?
Because return of normal pros

again, and we're getting to need nor.
mal thinking pretty badly If our
future la to be as bright as we want
It to be.
There has beeen too much of the
other kino. In the paat four years.
GETTING back to gasoline, a total
of 79.643,521 gallons was con
sumed In the first six months of this
year In Oregon, bringing in 3.987,-
176 In taxes.
In June alone, 16.556,713 gallons
were used, bringing into tne state
treasury (838,330 In taxes.
THE gasoline tax, you know, It a
sales tax, paid a little at a time
the product la purchased. The
total amounts to a lot In the course
of a year, but the Individual pay

For example, how could approxi

way as by means of the sales tax?

What the Grower Gets.
To the Editor:
Mr. C. A. Barnett has submitted
some rather startling figures on costs
of pear production and receipts that
certainly do not tally with the facts.
I do not raise any Bartlett pears and
will therefore confine my remarks to
the winter varieties.
His figure of 91.25 per box delivered
at the packing house waa undoubt
edly correct a few years ago, but
forceed economies of later years have
reduced this cost to 70 cents to tl.00
per box. But where he makes hla
gravest error la in reporting the
amount received, viz., (2.50 to $2.75
per box. Just how he arrived at
these figures Is hard to determine,
but apparently he has taken the
New York prices with no deductions
for packing, icing, freight, storage
and marketing expense.
Prices last year were better than
for the year before, and my actual
receipts were as follows:
D'AnJous $1,077 per box
Cornice $1,045 per box
Bosc $0,257 per box
Perhaps I am a poor manager and
should have found a better selling
agency, but I believe the prices that
I received are not far out of line with
those received by other growers.
Manifestly, these pears, nearly half
of which were Bosc, were produced
at a loss In the best market year that
we have had since 1929. This showa
the reason why so many growers
have gone broke during the last four
years, and why very few, if any, have
had 40 cents per hour, or any amount
whatever per hour, for their own la
bor, yet those who have been able to
do so have drawn from their savings
and employed many men and women
at a living wage. It Is the reason
why 90 per cent of them are now
operating on borrowed money, hop
ing to receive at least enough In re
turns for peara to repay the loans
when the fall due.

Keep Smiling
When trc.lble comes tramping down
the road.
No matter how weary you may be;
Look him in the face and smile
And watch him scamper up a tree.
Trouble Is eager to come your way,
When you're feeling down and
blue:
Look him In the face and amlla
Then watch him run away from
you.
If you're keeping company with old
trouble.
Let me proclaim right here.
Look him In the face and smile
Then watch him quickly disappear.
Soon we will learn to understand
That trouble doea not come to stay.
Look him In the face and smHe
And be ever grateful all the way.
