Testa show that the admtrabla wlnd reststlng qualities of the new autos are of no use whatsoever In destroying the odor of liquor on the driver's b troth after the pedestrian hsa been hit. The Senate Is now conducting a probe Into the manufacture and sale of munitions before, during and after the late Great War. Bo far. It has been revealed that Oreece bought some submariner, that South Ameri can landa purchased warships, and. all In all, the makers of munition were not in the business of making shot and shell exclusively for their health. Drat their miserable hides! They feloniously roked in and count ed the profits In times of stress and combat. This should not amaze the senate, as everybody else was doing It. and would again. If opportunity offered. Pirates running restaurants sandbagged patriots 30c for a hunk of pie, and lfic for a helping of catsup. Moat everything a human uses soared In price. It was due to "conditions abroad," nd the ensh registers were hot. A qul Into profiteering else where than In cartridges might get no results, but would be Interesting. The munition makers. In the current times, are small potatoes, and some thing for senators to pester on the eve of an election. However, In war times, he Is an Important hombre more Important than the cannon fodder who atop his products on the bnttle-fleldft. In 1017-lOlfi, the Inge nuity of munition maker In trans formlng a newlng machine factory Into a cartridge works In 34 hours, brought forth cheers from tha masses, and headlines across the tops of all the front pages. It's different now. A still exploded up the canyon. One report said the resultant forest fire was caused by a careless cigarette, and another report said It waa caused by Just as careless lightning. The Ben Trowbridge boy now hss a sister named Tanya, who In about 10 yeara will dally report to his folks what he does after school. The governor and state treasurer met In a room at Salem Tuesday, without a sign of harmonious may hem. Dour and doleful sounds are ema nating from the thorax of Its foot ball coach, so "Old Oregon" will flaunt a much better footbsll team than anybody suspected. Press dispatches describe the Chi cago attorney, charged with doing the keen and fancy thinking for the (ate No. 1 bandit, Jno.

In dependent candidate for Oovernor, announces as the vita part of his campaign slogan, the phrase, "fight ing, progressive independent. As a self-winding seeker after high office. It was expected a larger handful of laudatory adjective would be hurled at himself, by himself. Tie leaat an ticipated waa the pralaeful Informa tion "militant cnisader wearing no man's collar, and steeled to rip the vest off the vested Interests. Instead there la the meek revealment and no news at that "a fighting, pro gressive independent." The phrase haa no more rip and charm thin wrestling, reactionary Democrat. It will lure no voters. Rather than rally under such a milk and water slogan, they will prefer to be chased by Wall Street, individually. Instead of col lectively. Mr. Z. may amend his alo gan later, aa well he may. No matter how msny mesn thlna.0 he says about the corporations. It will do him no good, "right" sounds feeble. One. In Mr. Z's shoes, should battle, and bleed, and boil. V. . lo SHI Llchllinuiwa.

Just what the total is, at the moment, we don't know, but we do know it- is a motley crowd, probably representing the lowest AVERAGE in genuine ability, ever offered in this state. "What is the poor voter going to do about it t Just close his eyes and take a chance t Or is he going to close his eyes and vote his party ticket straight! Or is he going to open his eyes, look over the list of candidates as carefully as he would look over a list of applicants for any other job, and try to the best of his ability to CHOOSE THE MAN BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE gLAGEI "We hope for the latter. For as has so often been stated, "we get just what we vote for." IF WE vote for a candidate just because be is a good hand shaker and baby kisser, that is ALL we get. If we vote for a candidate just because he has a certain political label sewed on his jeans, that is ALL we get, nine times out of ten just "another politician," another political time-server, a pomp ous figure-head at Salem, who takes his orders from the leaders of his party ring in Portland, and amiably allows the state government to be run for their benefit. If we vote for a can didate merely on the strength of his promises, the length of his platform--regardless of what evidence there may be as io the liklihood of his carrying out those promises, that too is all we get. It has never failed. The Big Promiser before election is invariably the Big BUST, following it. t ... HPHEN why not, as long as we have a miniature Coxey's army before us this year, use some plain common sense., "Why not forget about politics for a while, for when all is said and done, political partisanship has little or nothing to do with the case. It is important, of course, to the hungry office seekers, for unless their man wins, they get no jobs. But it is important to no one else. It is certainly of no importance to the people of the state as a whole. The important thiug AFTER election, will not be what political label the successful candidate may happen to wear, but the type of MAN he is, his character, his ability, his exper ience, the qualifications he possesses for the important work before him. TpiiEN why not attack the problem from THIS angle! For this means to attack it from the angle of common sense, and good government. It means getting down to brass tacks and first principles. It means, on the part of the people, refus ing to be "taken for a rido" as a lot of easy marks once more, and again falling for the political hooey, that is always handed out. We are not going to mention merely an appeal for a certain selection of a new Governor this If the voters as a whole will look to their own self-interest, jsscrt their independence, analyze the characters of the respective candidates nnd go into their past records, using approximately the same care they would use in selecting an applicant for any other job, we havo no fear as to the final result. That result would represent people, regardless of politics, less of hokum, regardless of FITNESS for the job. And such a result would certainly bring what this state so acutely needs--a real NEW DEAb for Oregon! Why Do yilE fatalities in this Textile strike are appalling. What can possibly justify the taking of human life, in this contest between the Textile mills and the workers? According to the official report of an N. R. A. "study" of tha situation, no flagrant abuses were present in the industry. We quoto: "Under eiUtlng condition there 1 no factual or tatlatleaJ bruit for any general Increaae In textile code wage rate.. Wagea under the code have been Increaard 70". and the work week haa been reduced from an average of M hour, to a minimum of 40 houra." Then WHY the walkout! And above all why the shedding of blood! We believe we know the answer. This strike doesn't repre sent the best judgment of the workers. It represents, the "will to power" of a small group of alien Reds "boring from within" and taking their orders from Moscow. Scratch the surface of any of these strikes, and at the bot tom will be found communistic; propaganda. Not only the peo ple of this country, but organized labor, are being made the victims of a world-wide attempt to foment violence and bring revolution. NEBRASKA SKULL ADDS TO PUZZLE OF FIRST I WTNOT.

CLINICAL TEST FOB VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY Many laymen and aome physicians have no practical conception of vita mins. Neither have I, but I'm get ting onto things about them from time to time, and here Is one thing that I think In te resting because It Is practical The theoretical or research litera ture on vitamins Is now of prodig ious extent and, aneaklnff a B a i 1 lowbrow brows-l- AiBiJi ing. I think most of it is the veriest hoey. Wading through the current vitamin litera ture one geta the Impression that too darn many scientists are en gaged In laboratory study. It might be possible to get some practical knowledge out of a lot of this animal experimentation If a real physician, a practitioner who has had some years of experience In general prac tice, were assigned to collaborate In every such experiment. Night blindness, that Is, extraordi nary difficulty In seeing after twi light or dusk or when the day la very dark. Is now recognized aa one of the characteristic effects of deprivation or large deficiency of vitamin A. Oth er effects of avltamlnous A diets are xerophthalmia (dryness, ulcera tion and Inflammation of the eyes). The tear glands as well as the salt vary glands go dry too. Immunity to upper respiratory Infections Is Im paired or lost. Calculi (atones, gravel) form In the kidneys. Sinusitis and middle ear Infection are common. These foods are the richest natural sources of vitamin A: Fresh RAW milk, butter, eggs, liver, kidneys, YEL LOW and GREEN foods In general, such aa carrots, bananas, sweet po tato, squash, pumpictn, orange or orange Juice, yellow corn meal, let tuce, spinach, watercress, turnip topi, beet greens, onion tops, parsley, cel ery leaves, radish tops. It seems that while outspoken avltaminosis Is comparatively rare In this country, moderate avltamlnous states are exceedingly common but seldom recognized, simply because we have no specific test for these In complete or partial deficiency dis eases. We have only one way to de termine whether a given departure from health or efficiency Is of avlta mlnous nature, and that Is the tha rapeutlc test. That means feeding or administering adequate rations of the vitamin or vitamins in question and observing whether prompt amellora- (ConMnueo iroro page Cms) cretly conducting a check-up of Its poll. It hsa sent out 10,000 cards, care fully choosing the addresses by states. so they will represent a cross section of opinion. The same questions are being asked them to see If there has been any change since the last poll. Early returns from eastern states are supposed to Indicate a small de crease In the Roosevelt support. Returns will not be made public, but. if they Indicate there has been marked change in sentiment since the last poll, a new one will be con ducted. Business men who are calling Upton Sinclair a socialist do not know what a good business man he Is. He nit only sella his campaign documents and charges admission to his speeches but, more than that, he prints a price of 20 cents on the document and then sella them for 15 cents to make the purchaser think he la getting a discount. There are atrong undercover efforts afoot to make constitution day a event. Of course there is nothing po litical In it. It just happens that more republicans are interested In that subject this year.

Sept. 7 (AP Pre liminary organlratton of the Utopian Society of America was effected In Salem last night when C. E. Olcott. co-ordlnator of the Oregon sociefy at Portland, met with a group of interested people here. The Utopian society 4 formed In California last Febuary. was started In Portland last month, and Olcott announced other chaptera would be formed in all principal cities of t'l state. He declared the movement had for Its aim the correction of U.r economic situation In the Vnlte.1 Statea In a peaceful manner. Olcott further announced the so ciety waa a patriotic, non-polltlcal.

If the trouble immed!- ately begins to subside and presently disappears, then It Is fair to assume that It was avltaminosis. But suppose the victim of Inconv plete or mild avltaminosis presents no symptoms which warrant suspi cion. That may be. of course. If de ficiency Is only moderate or tempo rary, or again It may be that .h9 physician Is not sufficiently Inform ed about the avltaminosis or not alert for the manifestation of such conditions. Among 213 children examined by Dr. P. C. Jeans et al In Iowa, 45 were fouud to have subnormal dark adap tation never mind the technic of the test, but It measures the ability to see dimly Illuminated objects in a totally dark room. These children. who were nearly all of the poorer class, were then given a good diet and cod liver oil (a rich source of Vitamin A). Their moderate night blindness cleared up In an average of twelve days. Here, then. Is a good therapeutic or clinical test for vita min A deficiency.

I am 4 years younger and also have perfect health. His father at one time had tuberculosis and Is now a checked case, though still practi cally an invalid. Would I be likely to have tuberculosis children If I marry this young man? (S. D.) Answer No. if the father's tuber culosls Is really arrested, why is he still an invalid? If he still has act ive tuberculosis, you should avoid living In the same house or visiting the Invalid. Hot and Cold Baths Aa a means to Induce sleep on hot nights, how about a hot bath fol lowed by a cold bath and then re tiring without drying the skin? A friend tells me he goes right to sleep and sleeps soundly till morning when he follows this plan. (A. T.) Ana. In his case it Is fine. Mont persons will find a tepid or pleas antly cool bath more sedative, and generally it Is better to dry before slipping Into bed. I mean to say If one enjoys a hot bath followed by a cold bath as an aid to sleep, It Is perfectly healthful. (Copyright, 1934, John P. Dllle Co.) Ed. Note: Persons wlshne, to communicate with Ur.
