Ttie committee had forgot ten the theater owed more than a little money when It folded. It was far Into the night be fore the local power company was contacted and the Juice turned on. Then there was the matter of globes. The lone hardware ' merchant was a Democrat, and he'd be thls-nnd-that If he'd open hla atore long after closing time. "Oh!" snld Dunne, "he's a Democrat?"

KIIIINU TACK ITEM (YoungM-own, Ohio. Vindicator) While Mrs. Claude n.

After repeated pleas from the visitant Mrs. Norrls bade her to enter. She came In, stood before the bride-elect, opened her shawl and out came dainty packages In a bathroom shower that wna a surprise In the day'a delightful entertainment.

PVERTONE knows about the nnfortnnate chameleon on a A- Scotch plaid who finally ucumbed in an effort to match all the colors on the pattern. We sometime wonder if Joe Dunne's political ambition to be governor of Oregon won't suffer the same fate. - COR Mr. Dunne is very like a chameleon. Just as this harm A less little animal can't resist the temptation to match any color of the rainbow that is presented; so "Airflow Joe" can't resist the temptation to match every political opinion, with his own opinion of an identical, or similar, complexion. We don't know that Joe should be blamed sny more than the chameleon is. It isn't a matter of will. It doesn't involve deceit. It is an inherent reflex of the essential organism, which many times is embarrassing, but simply can't be avoided. TAKE the Q.O.P. candidate's attitude on the matter of nation al political issues for example. All his close friends and advisers are 100 partisans and therefore ardently anti-Roosevelt. When he is with them which is most of the time he is naturally the same. But when he goes afield, nnd 'runs into Roosevelt Republi cans which he can't avoid doing, that uncontrollable mechan ism within, starts to function and his political complexion promptly changes from a deep Republican blue to a shimmering New Deal purple. Responding promptly to his FIRST environment he stoutly maintains that the New Deal is all wet, a lot of un-American regimentation and impractical hooey; responding similarly to the SECOND environment, he just as stoutly maintains there is much that is good and much that isn't in the New Deal; but national policies and therefore national parties have nothing to do with the governorship of Oregon, anyway. TITIS isn't so bad. It is comparatively speaking a painless process, just as it is painless for the chromatic lizard when he can hop from one solid color, to another. But as the campaign progresses, and the political pattern of the state is revealed more and more, like Joseph's coat of many colors, jumbled and confused we have a definite suspicion that the genial "Airflow" is finding himself rapidly approach ing the predicament of that Scotch plaid chameleon with so many colors about him, that he no sooner finds himself adjusting I his chromatic scheme to one, than he feels an irresistible appeal 1 tny av.tliai an A Vin dIiam efreir. im aimtllv too much foe his political equilibrium. see AT least this is the only explanation we can find, for the most RECENT political pronouncement of Airflow Joe to tho people of southern Oregon. Through his official spokesman, Dr. Dunne now maintains that one of the chief reasons why he should be elected Governor is that he is a REPUBLICAN 1 The state legislature always has been Republican and will be this year. THEREFORE to elect a democratic Governor would lead to such internal strife and confusion at Salem, that nothing constructive or beneficial to this Rtate could possibly be accomplished. Ergo: vote the ticket straight and put a cross on every ballot for Airflow Joe, REPUBLICAN ! But only the other day Mr. Dunne emphatically and solemnly proclaimed that national politics had nothing to do with the state election. Whether a man was a Republican or Democrat whether he approved or disapproved of the Roosevelt policies had nothing to do with the ease. That was merely a smoke screen behind which certain designing Democrats were trying to get General Martin into office, hanging to the tail of the F. D. kite, eta., eto. Well that MIGHT be true. Or the contention that Roosevelt policies have a great deal to do with the state of Oregon, and the gubernatorial election MIGHT be true. But obviously they BOTH CAN'T be true I Yet we have the G.O.P. candidate, urging the peoplo to vote for him because he is a Republican, one day, and urging them not to vote for Congressman Martin because he is a Democrat the oflier, and for good measure, assuring them tinio after time that whether a man is a Republican or Democrat for tho Roosevelt policies or against them has nothing to do with the election in November anyway! We submit that such a position to say the least, Is slightly confusing. And rather hard on the political anatomy of any candidate who tries to assume it. Just as hard as was that Scotch plaid, upon the ohamelcon, so unfortunate as to be placed upon it I Personal Health Service By William Brady, H.D.

(ThU li one of a Miies of article! dealing with winter cough. Otheri will follow at Interval! of several days.) JJIS--'.".A To th layman it is ail aAinmBL, But we doctors ara a bit mora finical about It. Wheezing and difficult or la bored breathing la the most striking iymp torn in all four conditions, but the character and cause of the trouble is not the same In all; consequently the same treatment cannot serve In ev ery case where there Is wheezing and coughing and hard breathing. But don't let me stop you, Mr. Wiseacre, if you are about to try some nos trum; I'm Just an ordinary doctor with nothing to sell. Asthma la a functional derange ment and not an organic disease. In thla respect It la akin to epilepsy. Tli at is to say the derangement man ifests lUelf by an attack or seizure At Intervals, and In the Interim there Is no physical sign or clue by which the physician can determine that the patient la asthmatic or epileptic, as the case may be. Of course one may be subject to asthma and alao have chronic bronchitis, and the chronic bronchitis persists Indefinitely and is recognized at any time the physician happens to examine the patient. But true spasmodic bronchial asthenia is a periodical disturbance like mi graine. Emphysema Is atrophy or thinning of the walls between the air-spaces or vesicles tn the lungs, so that the lungs remain constantly distended with air, blown up, as It were. Thla occurs in some Instances as an her editary affection, bu( usually it de velops as a consequence of whoop ing cough, neglected obstruction by adenoids or enlarged tonsils, or chronlo bronchitis. . Bronchiectasis la a ballooning of a bronchus, bronchial tube, with for mation of a kind of cavern or cavity which Is Inadequately ventilated and drained by the bronchus. Pleural ad hesions following Influenza have been a prolific cause of bronchiectasis in recent years. In the given case there may be but one large bronchlectatic cavity or a number of smaller ones. Patients with bronchiectasis are like ly to have clubbed finger-tips, in curved nails and a bluish cast of skin cyanosis. They have a spell of coughing every morning, which they should encournge by assuming the knee-chest position for five or ten minutes, or by lying prone across the beof with hands and elbows resting on the floor to get the aid of grav- i Ity In the drainage of sputum or secretion from the cavity. I In all of these conditions the dif ficulty Is with expiration or expul sion of air from the chest, and not with Inhaling. The patient's problem Is not how to get air but how to get rid of It. Nevertheless Belly Breathing Is al ways good medicine for one subject to asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis or chronic bronchitis but it Is very bad medicine for one who has tuber culosis, so I warn you Mr. Wiseacre Have your physician pass upon this before you try It. He probably knows what alls you. I don't. Detailed Instructions for this breathing exercise are given In the booklet "Art of Easy Breathing" which sets you back ten cents and a three-cent stamped envelope bear ing your address. Belly breathing is a study In relaxation, and not an attempt to Increase chest expansion. QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS Aniline Dyes 8on works tn chemical plant.

I am unable to advance an opin ion without specific data about the nature of the chemicals your son, being a chemist, could give me the Information. Fatal Fifth Some time ago you told how the thinking power la slowed down by a drink of wine, a highball or cock tall, or a glass of beer. Please give me a reference which I may use In a talk to young men about Alcohol and Health. (M. E. H.( Answer Psysiologlsts have deter mined by precise scientific measure ment that the reaction time is slowed from one-fifth to two-fifths of a second by a drink of wine, beer or whiskey. Figure for yourself how far a car will travel before the driver, under effect of a glass or two, can act to avoid danger. Undoubtedly this la the explanation for much of the dally toll of traffic accidents. In this land of liberty anyone who haa the price can be bis own judge as to wether he or she waa "Intoxicated" In such emergenclee. In Sweden ev ery police station keeps on hand boxes with capillary tubes for the use of physicians in taking a drop of blood from the person suspected of being under undue alcoholic in fluence. If the test of the drop of blood shows more than one per cent alcohol, Intoxication la proved re gardless of whose scion the culprit may be. Comment on the Day's News Ed.

Mclntyre Communications Favors State Dank. To the Jxlltor: You know that I do not always disagree with you atxiut things, and I am not sure that 1 disagree With you at this point, but your editorial quotation from the Oregon Journal In the Item, "A State Bank," makes me wnnt to ask a few questions. I need, a bit more Information on this state bank proposition, and I am sure that there are others who are a little dense on the thing, and would like some help also. So If you will take a little time and space and clear up a point or two we will be (tad to hear from you. The Journal makes clear that H would be the money of the taxpayer that would establish and keep sound the state bank. Whose money is used to finance the banks under our preaent systemf I supposed that the moat of the money they have In the banks belongs to the taxpayer; only out here at Central Point I know there la an Impression that It USED to belong to the taxpayer. The Jour nal also Implies that It would be the taxpayers' money that would max up the shortage, the loss, etc., but I have been inder the impression that the tax pa vera have been making thla up (and then some) under the pres ent program: only the burdens hare not been very evenly distributed. Again, the Journal Implies that there would be a very ungctdly rela tlonahip develop between the state bank and the politician, but does mt tell tis that the politician's proclivi ties have been developed to an ab normal degree under our present sys tem What? Would the Journal im ply that the state bankers and tu politicians would be so very much worse than the bankers and poli ticians who are operating with our taxpayers' money now? I think the vaaie would be amusing If It were not so serious. Did not you and the Journal help elect these state officials? Would you not also help eleet those who would have charge of the state bank If the pro posed change is elected? Now, broth er, does the Journal mean that we could not find honeat men for state offices who would give us a square deal? Are all state officers so cor rupt so infernally dishonest tht this article la a true picture of how It would work out? Read that aaln. will you? "Public money loaned to finance the campaign of a candidate public money In a state bank to become the plaything ano, partisan plunder of politics," No way around It, sir The state officials would Jxtst natural ly become corrupt If this banking business la Interfered with thla way. I hare heard ot mudsllnglng and political "blister blight" all down thrtnmh the years ot my experience, but I think this haa them all beat a mile. To take for granted before hand that In case the new proposition oarrlea. and the state bank la estab lished and put Into the hands of our state officers, that those same official must necessarily become ao corrupt that they will debauch themselves and us )n such fashion as here rep resented ts Just mere political bslde; dash. What pretentious care and generous oversight of the interests of the 'dear taxpayer!" One wouio think that the Journal might hare named at least one other institution other than the one Andy Jackson exposed that had been found wanting tn business ethics. Bui no it sees only one JOS. M JOHN&ON. Central Tolnt, Oct. lfl. NEW YORK. Oct. 16. Few Amer icana have been so surprised at suc cess aa Bob Ripley. He continues to tHInb hi MtM? iH- 1 most astonishing of hla belleve-it- 4 or-nou. his in- come today not only tops every his calling by a wide margin, but hla by - products alone have made him a quarter million. Born Robert Lr-Roy Ripley in Snnta Rosa, Cat. he is known to his Intimates as 'Hip." He cAme out of the same cartooning world In Snn Francisco that produced Tad, Goldberg, and too many others to list here. Although hla life has been cast In hard-boiled sporting circles, he Is still so shy he blushes. His ambition, at 43 almost realised, la to visit every civilized spot on the globe. Four months every year are devoted to explorations. When in New York h ts home Is in a pent house atop the New York Athletic club. He waa once a champion run ner and Is now a fast handball player. He waa in the depth of a dull day dolor as a snort pane action artist, when he turned out the first of hla now famous Umntns. He had about decided to tr It up, but an office boy liked the Idea and he turned It in. The result la history. He has enough Ideas on hand to last 150 years, belleve-lt-or-not. Somebody tells me Rudy Vallee no longer reads his fan mall. Instead, he receives weekly a geographical sur vey of the letters, the number, ho many are enthusiastic and how many not. Beoause of various legal en tang:v.ents. his mall goes direct to I a wy era for d e t ec 1 1 on of an y am s -tory and blackmailing dynamite. More than 1.000 restaurants have cloeed doors in New York since the first of the year. Ch'efly they are the smaller lunch counter spots, out 100 big places have also given up the ghost. Along Broadway was .once a distinct 6 30 dinner crowd orchestra miiiaiMana, chorus girls, .actors, stac hands, theater treasurers and ushers Then came dtnera-out going to the theater. Both crowds hare alrmst vanished. And there are no more picturesque restaurant men such a Churchill. Oeorge Rector. Joel and Shanley. Mine host who greeted on at the door. A'.l n:;!it returanta have a i to 6 a. m patronsege that consists lar;y of the gamblers sprinkled; with the usual wandering drunks. It la the gamblers' hefty meal of the day. and the winners, naturally, order extrava gantly. Many fine feathered ladles Join them, roguishly rouged and now and then buoyantly bunned. Walters look upon thla early clientele as a golden harvest. Nick, the Oreek, after a profitable night, haa been known to leave a $50 bill at the aide of his plate, and ao on. Max Gordon, who popped up from small time theatricals to become at the moment the leading producer, haa a prevailing New York phobia about being alone. In hla office, at re hear m Is, on the street or wherenot, he manages to have a companion near. Even In hla visits to the barber shop he draga some employe or hanger-on along. A French doctor once healed a Paris banker of thla hypochondria. He motored to an obscure spot be yond Fontalnbleau with his patient, Induced him to alight ahead and then shot away. The patient was four hours reaching the nearest vlllagt. He sent hla doctor 0,000 franca but never spoke to him aaln. There waa a car toon Lst on Park Row who could not or would not ride In elevators, and tloled up and down five flight. A few fellow workers decided It imaginary tosh and maneu vering near the ascenseur one d.y, dragged him In and shot up to hl floor. He not only fainted enroute but had to be carried out feet up to a hospital where he remained two months with a nervous crack-up. So breaking the spell does not always have the same result. Probably the moat Indefatigable photographer in New York is Charles Phelps Cushlnc- His life la Just a long roll of unexposed kodak film. There la not a nook or cranny, pet rous peak or breathless vista he haa not caught at some entrancing ang'.i. He's an alumnus of the Kansas City Star's reportortal staff, confirmed bschelor and writer of artlclea for magarlnea. B)' FRANK JENKINS OUCK" BUCKHORN Is an ento D mologlst employed by the U S. department of agriculture. An en tomologist Is a bug expert, and the bug that Buck Is specializing on Just now la the pine tree beetle. Hia Job la to get It before It gets the pine forests. IN HIS Job of getting the pine tree 1 beetle, Buck and .his crew have quite a lot to do with trees, and a while back they cut down a big tree out south of Bly, and found on In vestigating that It was 825 years old which la quite a ripe old age for a pin tree. They determined the age, of course by counting the rings, each ring rep resenting a year of growth. nUT these rings tell more than the U the age of the tree. By observing their width, you can tell whether a particular year was a wet one or a dry one, aa In years of abundant moisture the tree grows rapidly and 'makea a wide ring, and In dry years it grows slowly and makes a little tight ring. (Aa a matter of fact. Buck says, thla record "slops over" about a year, the wet years providing moisture to carry forward about a year In the way of growth. But a year more or less In 825 years doesn't amount to much.) GETTING down to the point of the story. Buck says that over these 825 years wet and dry eyclea have followed each other at regular Inter vals of from 10 to 20 years, the av erage being about 16. That la to say, a dry cycle of some 15 years has been followed by a wet cycle of approximately the same length. So, In dry periods, such aa the present, we can console ourselves with the thought that a wet period is coming. ? That means a lot here In the Irri gated country, for if dry weather kept right on, without a break, our reservoirs would In time go dry, BUT here's the interesting part of the story: Back tn the early 170rs, Bdck says the date, of course, being deter mined by counting back the rlns from th present time there was a dry cycle of some SIXTY years! That la to say, there were 60 of the tight little rings In a row, indi cating that for thla period of time there were years of insufficient mois ture, resulting In small tree growth,. That waa a long time for a drought to continue. We'll all Join heartily in hoping that It doesn't happen again. HERE on the Pacific coast, our re corded history except in Span ish California runs back only about a century. In this period, we know there have been frequent wet and dry cycles. Goose lake, for example, was dry and dusty when the first emigrants came. Thla la proved by the old wagon road whose ruts showed up plainly when the lake went dry again a few years ago. At some time since then, there is tradition to the effect that Goose lake filled clear up .and ran over to the south. Many people remember when they ran a big steamer on It, and If further evidence Is needed by those of today, the steamer Itself Is plied up on the shore of the now dry and dusty lake. f TP NORTH of the Three Sisters Is a lake named Clear lake, be cause of the clearness of Its waters.; It was formed by a flow of lava damming a canyon. The filling up of the lake killed the trees on th floor of the canyon, and these dead trees on the lake floor may now be : seen from a boat. Not long ago, the j forest service lowered a charge of dynamite Into the waters, blasted off on of these trees, sawed It across i and exposed the rings. But the rlng are undated. If Buck could relate these rings with the rings of his 825-year-o.d tree, he might be able to establish the age of the lava flow along the summit of the Cascades. That would be interesting. terance that he must be at least 74, are mistaken, aa he Is ONLY 71. You state that General Martin Is "the best qualified man, for governor. thla state haa ver been offered In two or three decade.'' The General was the first to admit It. He ha been going up and down the atate for weeks, preaching that aame doctrine and subtly Implying that all former state official have been slgnauy iact ing in the gray matter with which he Is so abundantly endowed, ana that he la the Great Mose come o lead us out of the governmental wll- dernees with the Imaginary halo he acquired In Washington. D. 0. True, at ONLY 71 Eihu Boot and Supreme Justices Holmes and Bran neia were still able to carry on in a profession they had followed sine their youth; but not one of them urged upon the public that at 71 he waa qualified to become a major general of the army. "Unthinkable 1" we hear Mr. Martin say). Yea, but no more unthinkable than that a 71-year-old pensioned major-general, with practically no training; or ex perience in, or knowledge or, th in tern a! affairs of th state of Oregon, should urge our people to elect him governor. Our military president served when the country' greatest problems were military. Oregon has no military problema. The experience of General Martin, even tn national governmental affairs, haa been quite limited. In the last session of congress, a Democratic con gressman had only to answer roll call and Inquire, "Mr. President, let me know what you and your Brain Trust have figured out and desire, and I will O. K. It and get back to my vacation." Anyone who ha attended e full session of our state legislature knows that the problems faced by the gov ernor of Oregon are almost wholly In ternal problems that are of no con cern to the national government or congress. To avoid four year of turmoil and backsliding as a atate, Oregon must elect a governor who haa the ability, disposition and experience to co-operate with the legislature. No gov ernor of Oregon can carry out any state program without the co-operation of that body. The legislature, as has been demonstrated too often in the past, can almost completely tie the hand of the governor. Our legis lature ts always at least three-fourths Republican. With the power at Its command, the legislature respects only a governor of wide experience and knowledge of the complicated affair of Oregon, a governor who is willing to co-operate with it and to consult with It. Mr. Martin Is best known for his bluntnes of expres sion, his pride of opinion, his cold reserve and dictatorial attitude, his caustic criticism, and a major-general's pardonable desire to command. He haa new had any legislative ex perience in this state, and no con nection with the Internal affairs of the state that would be his problems. If elected. Would such a man be able to lend a legislature And bring about mutual co-operation and re spect? I think not Genial, hard-working, experienced, "airflow," smooth running Joe Dunne haa won the respect of Oregon legis lators by eight years of gruelling teamwork with them. He Is one of them and they would be glad to fol low his leadership as captain. DON R. NEWBURY, President, Medford Chapter of Oregon Republicans. October 15th. Charli Hughes.

Communications Another Boston Tea Tarty To the Editor: I see you are attacking the 30- mlll tax limitation bill, so I should like a word of defense for It. This bill is not Intended to be an end In Itself but la Intended for the purpose of limiting the amount of taxes that can tie piled onto our properties. We are about tired of the idea of every last item of expendi ture that any public official can think of, being piled onto the poor old abused property tax Just because It ts easy to do and the property owner has absolutely no come-back. When the public official says he has to pay it, why, that's it, either pay or give us your property. You might class it as a sort ot 'Boston Tea Party" proposition on the part of the desperate taxpayer. We have hollered our head off ever since the depression started for some sort of tax relief and nothing being done about It. Wo feel that It is about time for the tax user to take a little bit on the chin. Yea, the roof may go to leaking and the paint peeling off and plneter cracking, etc., but you would find that the "public mttcmnery nouse wouia still oe standing, Just the same as In pri vate life: Just like one of our most prominent southern Oregon citizens said to me, "I used to give my wife two hundred dollar a month for house expenses but since this de pression I have had to cut her to seventy-five dollars, and blamed It she doesn't seem to do Just about well on It." We property tax payera are get ting Just about desperate, and the large tax payera are Just aa bad on as anyone. I have taken a prominent part for tax relief and have had talks with all kinds of them, from Copco officials down to shack own ers, and the story Is the same; in good times they could all take care of It, but with the reduced Income and taxes staying aa high aa.ever It hns become a real calamity.
