S. semite (equivalent to election) is another significant straw in the political gale. Bilbo proudly claims he "is a better hell raiser than Huey Long", and according to reports from the south, the former gov ernor is about right. With a voice like the Bull of Bashan, a fist like a Virginia ham, a past master of mob psychology and no scruples concern ing either principles or manners, Brother Bilbo promises to please no one in the Upper House but the boys in the press gallery. lie will please TITEM however. For Bilbo will be front page copy, no matter how he may offend the dictates of good taste and common sense. However, here is one paper, that would prefer less front page copy and more constructive action in the senate. One "HOOEY" Long was bad enough, but with TWO of them!-1 1-!!! There is only one ray of hope, namely: that a doublo dose of "Hooey" will act like a double dose of any other poison, serve as its own antidote 1 Not So Good for League THE League of Nations may benefit Russia, but Russia will not benefit the League. The League for some time, has been declining in prcstigo and influence, because of its domination by France nnd her allies. The entrance of Russia, politically increases this domi nance. For while France and Russia are no longer allies, in the Triple Entente sense, they will automatically work together in opposition to Hitler and Mussolini, and further alienate the confidence of the smnllcr independent powers, in Europe and South America. Furthermore Soviet Russia will capitalize on this recognition just as she has capitalized on her recognition by this country. It will be interpreted at home, as a great diplomatic victory for communism the return of Russia as a great world power and the end of Muscovite isolation. It will be utilized secretly, and insidiously, but no less effectively, as an entering wedge, to spread communistic propaganda throughout the world. ft THE plain truth is the Russian government, as at PRESENT constituted can't be trusted I Paul Mallon, in this paper's Column Left, recently confirmed this statement. He declared that the Roosevelt administration already questions its wisdom in falling so readily for Litvinoff 's palaver. Recognition was supposed to mnrk an end to communistic agitation and propaganda in this country, as far as assistance or encouragement from Moscow is concerned. It HASN'T. In the files of the U. S. secret service, there is snid to be ample evidence that the Reds are not only working in this country as before, but their leaders are financed and receive their orders, from the Kremlin. e DECOGNITION was also supposed to bring in a flood of busi ness to this country from Russia, and result in a speedy settlement of the Russian debt. It has done neither. Trade with Russia instead of increasing has declined. Even as fair and mild mannered a man as Secretary of State Hull, declined to consider such proposals for debt settlement as the Soviet ambassador in Washington proposed, and plain intima tions filtered from the state and resourceful Litvinoff had again put over a "fast one." nPHE trouble with Russia appears to be her zeal for commnn- ism and a world dictatorship of the proletariat, overshadows every other consideration. Fair play and fair dealing in the Anglo-Saxon sense, have no standing in the inner circles of the U. S. S. R. In the Soviet political creed, the end justifies any means; Stalin and his aides have RESULTS. And this realistic policy, appears to be working very well. To date we should say the self appointed dictators of Russia, have made monkeys out of the conventional diplomats of Europe and America, in their well brushed morning coats and their well dusted top hats. They have known just what they wanted from the start, and they have taken the shortest cut to get it. Recognized by the United States, and now in good standing in the League of Nations, the sovietized "bear that walks like a man" is certainly marching onl G. 0. P.

THERAPEUTIC EFFB CTS OF TOBACCO I In an earlier Article I expressed the , mere belief that temperate amok lug by full grown adults It beneficent i vt in some Instance!, tending to soften or relax Inhibi tion! which arise from tha ovsr atlm illation of our a r 1 1 f 1 clal mode of exist ence. T h u X V fyfyrtdr ' woum explain ww $V r... 4- promotion of . V better digestion -. Wh in ajum of hvno- chlorhydria or in sufficient hydro chloric a eld in gastric secretion and the associated retardation of peristalsis or motility of the Intestine. Many smokers have noticed that then can Indulge more freely if they are much engaged In outdoor activ ity and when closely confined they quickly feel the 111 effects of heavy smoking. Dr. I. O. Cobb, In his book i "The Organs of Internal Secretion." says that an extraordinary Intoler ance to tobacco accompanies defici ency In thyroid secretion, and pa tients who have smoked heavily com plain that even one cigarette causes unpleasant symptoms, after their thy roid gland function has slowed down. My Interpretation of these observa tions is that something, no matter whether It be nicotine, pyrldmo. carbon monoxide or other substance In tobacco smoke Is toxic, and the effects of the Intoxication will depend upon the general state of metabolism. In childhood, especially in the 'teens, as Is well known, metabolism is al most physiologically slow, at least scarcely keeping up with growth: children commonly have simple goitre or at least hypothyroidism in their 'teens. Tobacco at this epoch of life Is notoriously Injurious. An observing country doctor told me he had rarely found a tobacco user suffering with diabetes. I pub lished this observation and received a smell shower of sarcasm. Some read ers asked whether I had a block of stock in a cigarette company. Most cited cases of diabetes complicated by inveterate smoking. Three, however, reported that they had smoked heav ily for many years before they devel oped diabetes. So It might seem that the country doctor's observation wis not so good. Yet I still thin it was significant. I believe that TEMPER ATE smoking tends to prevent dia betes. One man started smoking at the age of 45 years, on advice of his phy sician. The man had various "nerv ous ailments, Including diabetes." He is now 60 years old and says he feels better In mind and body since he took up smoking. I think TEMPERATE smoking NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Don Skene is still another sports writer to cut a literary figure with a best seller. His hilarious travesty of o h am p 1 o nshlp prize-fighting is achieving the top list. Following so closely upon Da mon Runyan's fiction success. It ; has sent publish ers scouring the sports pages. While Charles Van Loan and Ring Lardntr were notable ex- I a nip les of attainment in short story! writing, their output was regarded as exceptional. Sports writers were rare ly considered for the magazines, nov els or photoplay. Their work was too haphazard and swiftly done. What could a fellow reporting base ball, boxing and tennis know about skillful plotting, dialogue and the es sential called sentiment? Well, be neath the hard" -boiled exteriors It ap pears they know all about emotion. Indeed, they have given the whole art of fiction story telling a change of pare. Anyway, It Is the sports writers' field day. All are being sounded for material. A check-up reveals that such writers as dene Fowler, Weat brook Peeler. Heywocd Broun, Paul Oelllco and Innumerable others so frequently contributing to the maga rlnee, had their genesis on the sport page. Chic Sale and Art Frank are about the only chin piece comics left on the stage. Ten years ago every vaude ville show and almost every play had a Reuben with crepe hair, nasal twang and apple-barrel gab. The lack Is not in audience Interest but In deft de lineation. The yap comedian must haw a rural background and know his crossroads. Outside of Sale and Frank most of them in recent years were city actors portraying a role they got from comic papers. Charles Butterworth has been a success on the stage and screen large ly because the gawky role he piarrd has a prototype in every village.

Just fidgeting around and stew ing about their Investments and the high tax rate and all that sort of old fossil's complaint. Give such a man pipe and a set of bowls and his place on a bowling green, and you can make him almost human. One diabetic patient began using Ins"1 in in 1933, when he weighed 06 pounds. In 1931 he weighed 166 pounds, was In the hardware retail trade. - He wrote: "Of course with the use of Insulin a diabetic loses his craving for eating, but If It had not been for my smoking it might have gone differently; smoking always served to relieve the Intense feeling of hunger." As mentioned In an earlier article, smoking quickly In creases blood sugar SO per cent that's how a smoke puts off the excessive hunger. Tobacco, then, when smoked In moderation, may be beneficial In some conditions. I own no stock and have no Interest In any tobacco business. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Oil With Lemon. Is there any harm In taking cod liver oil with lemon? R. S. Answer No. Almost invariably, repugnance for cod liver oil is a cul tivated one. Infants too young to heed the fuss parents or others make about It take their cod liver oil rations as food and learn to like cod liver oil. Salt and Obesity. In one of your articles you Implied that the use of much salt la a cause of obesity . . . Mrs. C. E. J. Answer The addition of much salt to food encourages overeating and makes for retention of too much water in the cells and tissues. Oood rule to add no salt to food on the table. The salt naturally present In meats, milk, eggs, fish, and the salt added in cooking, should be suf ficient. Twilight Doze. Son 14 complains he hears me call ing but can't get up until 10 or IS minutes late. I think this la Just wilful . . . W. D. W. Answer No, It is normal.- On wak ing the sense of hearing is recovered before the power of voluntary move ment. There Is a zone of twilight daze between sleeping and waking. Don't be too severe on the lad. In that 10 or 15 minutes he may make a great discovery or concleve some new Inspiration which will carry hlra to fame and fortune. (Copyright, 1934, John P. Dllle Co.)

Some little old red school house strap oil would be Just dandy for that. There Is a distinct type of woman diner-out one sees in the more sedate chain restaurants. She comes In alone, plainly tailored, middle-aged, alertly professional, light a cigarette and appears wholly preoccupied. She has soup, salad, dessert and coffee, and lingers over perhaps two more cigarettes. One Imagines a doctor, lawyer or executive assistant. I In quired of a Julia Hoyt looking hostess about the Identity of one the other day. She was a housekeeper of a Park avenue de luxe hotel and I won dered what In the world she was do ing eating out. The housekeeper at the Rita Carlton, Incidentally, Is a real countess. The Martin Johnsons, rounding In from another long Jungle safari, have been catching up with well-dressed civilization again. Mrs. Johnson, chirpy and with a flair for barbaric colors. Is remindful of Ann Penning ton. Her husband might be a mid dle west merchant attending a Ro tarian convention. They have never shaken off the open friendliness of the Kansas plains, where they were born and reared. Fach time they bring back a thorotighly domesticated pet. The last time It was Bessie, an ourang-utan, and this time a smaller type of monkey almost human In un derstanding. The Martina usually feel the call of the wild again In about six months and begin another trek to some tag-end of the earth. I have been told that when they eventually give up their wanderlust they will set tle on farmland If any is left in western Kansas. Three times lately on West End avenue I hare been accosted by a smartly turned out young man. who professes to be a Columbia student from Capetown, South Africa. Each time, with becoming awkwardness, he has confessed It is Vis first approach at bvglng and wants only a room for the night.

VIRGINIA rwiNG GATES, daugh ter of the president of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, runs away from a dude ranch where she had been spending the summer, and mar ries a hitch-hiker. It makes good newspaper copy, for we all like to express an opinion as to whether she was wise or foolish. NOBODY but Virginia will ever know whether she was wise or foolish, and as a matter of fact It Isn't anybody else's business. FROM January 1 to September IS. 190 persons were killed In automo bile accidents on the highways of Ore gon. The number was Increased to 194 by fatal accidents occurring over the September IS week-end. In the same period of time, 3006 persons were Injured. The total num ber of accidents reported during this period was 13,068, an average of a lit tle better than 50 a day, WHAT was the principal cause of these accidents? There can be only one truthful ana. wer, which can be given In this one word: CARELESSNESS. e-f IF EVERY driver on the road was as careful as he ought to be, there would be relatively few fatal acci dents. HERE Is one of ths unfortunate things about driving a car: Being careful yourself will make you only HALF safe. If you are to be wholly safe, the other fellow must be careful too. HERE'S another interesting state ment, vouched for by A, H. Aver Ill, state fire marshal: In the first six months of 1934. careless smoking and heedless tossing away of lighted matches caused 436 fires In Oregon. That Is to say that many fires are KNOWN to have been caused by carelessness. Actual property loss occurring In these fires was 959,384, which tsnt a particularly large total, considering the number of fires. We were Just plain lucky, evidently. NOTE the use of Vhe word "we." It Is CORRECTLY used. None of these 436 fires may have been on your property, and so, If you are short-sighted, you may say that you did ndt suffer in any way from them. You would be mistaken If you made any such statement. The loss caused by those fires has to be absorbed. In one manner or another, by the entire community, and so a share of that loss FALLS ON YOU. Even Insurance, you know, Is only a means of SPREADING the loss. CARELESSNESS takes a terrible toll every year In lives, In property and In general suffering. If we would all be Just a little more careful, this would bs a much better world to live In.

Are they afraid to come out and tell the people how they stand on the various questions that are sure to arise; or do they Just take It for granted that the people are Just going to the polls on elec tion day like a bunch of aheep and vote for whoever happens to be on their ticket, regardless of what they stand for? I want to tell you fel lows that the day Is past when all you have to cfo is pass out a Demo cratic or Republican ticket and im agine they are going to vote 'er straight. If you think that way, you are going to be fooled, I'll tell the world; for people ahe thinking nowa days as they never thought before, and somebody Is going to get left, no matter what his pollttlcs are, as politics Isn't going to cut a very big figure In this election, if you will listen to my gentle voice. So you had better crawl out of your dens and begin to tell the people how you stand on these questions, and If you don't know what they are, It Is get ting about time for you to find out and let us know where you stand, or somebody will get left, and pretty bad at that.
