A Crisis in World Affairs IF the United States could isolate itself economically and politi callybe sufficient unto itself the present insanity of the rest of the world might be disregarded. If the countries in Kurope could fight among themselves and Japan continue her conquest of China, without directly affecting the industrial, agricultural and social conditions of this country, one might be indifferent to ine present political tendcncic3 across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. ,' . But unfortunately this is impossible. Whether we like it or not the world is an economic unit the various nations are so closely related that serious disturbances in one of them, can't help but have serious effect in all of them. v, Extensive wars in Kurope or the Orient might stimulate our own prosperity temporarily but not for long. In the first place the belligerent nations are not far. from bankruptcy; and in the second place, the destruction in lives and real wealth that war involves, ultimately impoverishes all the world, ' So the recent failure of disarmament proposals, the certain failure of the three power naval pact, renewed evidences of war preparations both in Europe and the Far East, can't fail but give every thinking American cause -for grave misgiviiigs and concern. a WAR is the last thing any sane person could desire for the world or nny part of it, yet 'once more, war clouds are gathering over half of the surface of the globe. For the first two years the Roosevelt administration was exclusively concerned with domestic problems. It now appears inevitable that during the last two years, the international policies of the administration will be eqiinl.y.if not more, im portant. This much is certain. The only real hore for world peace, lies in the peaceful and constructive leadership supplied by the United States. Personal Health Service By William Brady.

Held a parade Frl. pm. causing a 4000 per cent Increase In 4d traffic on the Main Stem, and awitch engine activity on the Espe. The girls did most of the yelling snd the marching. FROM time to time the Mail T,ribune has qualified its approval of the New Deal with a bill of exceptions. Two pf these exceptions have been commented upon in this column, during the past few months.'' . One was the high wage scale allowed those on federal relief, so high that during the past year in this valley, orchard workers have abandoned steady jobs at the prevailing scale, to take ad- j vantage of relief work, a policy which we maintained and still maintain was altogether destructive and indefensible. We arc glad to note, that according to Donald Richberg, this policy has at liftt been Abandoned. The former minimum wage scale has been discarded and hereafter: "The work relief wage criterion will be the rate prevailing in the community affected. Local communltlea already function ing wilt determine. what the proper scale should be Instead of the government." I This is as it should lie. Wages for men oi relief should cer tainly not bo IIIGHKR than tho prevailing wages of regular labor in the districts concerned. ANOTHER objection was to tho much-advertised section 7a of the NRA code, and the way in which it was interpreted by the lobor unions and the labor board. This was briefly an interpretation which virtually forced membership into the American Federal ion of Labor or a union which it recognized, and tho forcing of a non union minority to be governed by a vote of a union majority. In this same uldvess Mr. Richberg clesred this point as lol lows: "The opinion only of a workman himself csn decide what voting unit he shall enter. Only after associating himself with such a unit voluntarily can he be bound by the will of the majority. Ho one haa been given any authority and I doubt whether anyone could legally, be given the authority, to herd all employees, or any number of employee Into a voting unit and ! then to compel them to select their representatlvea by a majority vote, a a a The right of self orc-anlzatlon certainly Includes the right of each man to decide for himself with what man or men he wishes to be associated." a a N other words whether n worker belongs to no union, or to a A socalled company union, he shall have tho same right to bargain collectively as the worker who is a member, of some union recognized by the American Federation of Labor. ' The idea of the One Rig Union Is thus dealt a body blow, and the rights of a minority in any labor dispute arc protected. important decisions, enunciated by Mr. Richberg, resent the present policy of tho Roosevelt admin istration (and considering Mr. Richberg's high position they must) will go far toward clearing the way, for closer coopera tion between business and the government, greatly accelerating business improvement. It was probably not a coincidence that following these pro nouncements the New York stock market pushed ahead in one of the most activo sessions of tho present month. In some communities where graft Is brszen and public opinion la timid the politicians who hsnd It out have decided thst the physical e d u c ac tion . departmen'a of thj school sys tem Is just the bunk anyway ar.d have kept ti.e boodle well up to normal thru' the period of the de pression by let ting out physical education teach ers and instruct ing their crea tures on the board of education to forget that part of the school system for a while. This is all Jake with the board of education, for they never did see the sense of physical education anyhow. Nobody doea who hasn't had any It Is worse than readln', 'ritln and rlthmetlc in that respect. That Is tne reason why so many parent whose education was neglected do not take very seriously the physical education work in the schools, and permit their children to dodge it by one or an other subterfuge, or actually aid and abet the wretched child In faking up an excuse to escape physical tra.n- ln. Round shoulders, pronated I-ift (wesk ankles), curvature of spine (high hip, high shoulder), swayback or hollow back, protruding ch:n. sunken chest, pot belly, sagging head and neck these manifest weaknessM or deformities are all more or lea as- so:lated with kyphosis or functional humpback. Thl Is a fault of develop ment, growth, nutrition. It is the pos ture of relaxation, weakness, fatigue. It Is often an expression of some general condition, say anemia or min eral deficiency or avltamlnosls, and in any case the child should be un der the constant supervision of '.Is family physician who will see that tne general nutrition state Is kept at t'.'i optimum. This weakness In children of schJOl sge is a disgrace to American edu cation. It spells a poor, inefficient school. If the child get a fair break In elementary or grammar achool, these potential deformities and dis abilities will simply not be permlttetl to continue. They will be prev-"t; I by. proper physical training. They will be corrected. If they have already started when the child enters school, by proper school medical service. How to unfasten the blood-sucking grsfters from the achool adm'.a istrstion Is probably not M simple a problem a I should suppose. But pup He opinion can stlU save the school, if only the public hss the spirit to hold an opinion on the subject. A good mind Inspires my respect, but great physical atrength not at .til Still, I'd rather my child were a bit shy on brsin than physically below the standsrd of hi fellows. Regular dally gymnasium classwork under a qualified physical Instructor (not Just any old teacher who hw nothing more important to do) Is the best preventive measure and the best corrective measure against the weak ness described. Swimming and hiking, also under the - qualified physical Instructor's supervision, are excellent aids in car-rectlon. No child who show any of the fault enumerated should be permit ted to wear heel on shoes Nor point ed toes. The child must not toe O'.l' when walking. TEN YEARS AflO TODAY .

P. means United' States. Pharmacopoeia. In Canada B 1 P. means British Pharmacopoeia. If medicine 1 labeled U. S. P. or B.

Eccentricities of dress will always recall the late "Daddy" Browning. I knew him quit well, long before he became a harlequin of the headlines. Although rlch.l he lived in a moder ately priced family hotel, attended our weekly dances, drank nothing stronger than lemonade and never smoked. Usually he escorted high school girls in groups to the soirees. No one thought anything. He seemed indeed, a bit childish, wearing many extra buttons on his coats and fea turing a half dozen different sound ing horns on his automobile. He once told me ho had not missed Sun day school since 12. A strange, harm- J less fellow In earlier years I have b4leved he was touched by some pro gressive mania. The last time I saw him was at a first night with a full grown orchid In his dinner coat lapel, t totally unmindful of the ridicule. His , eyes had taken on a roamtn? bulgi- j ness and his talk had the turkey gob- 1 bier Incoherence of Harry Thaw. Yet to the end he remained a most astute bust new man. actually doubling his fortune during the depression. j No Change Turkey Price PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 24.

Communications AHEAD AS PUBLIC TS SHOPPING NEW YORK. Nov. 24. f AP) The vigorous expansion in consumer buy ing, says the Dun & Bradstreet weeK ly trade review, has proceeded un checked, "and now has gained suffi cient momentum, to render It inr mune to tho vagaries of the weather.' Improved business sentiment,, ac. cording to the summary, is reflected in the greater volume of advance commitments, particularly In the consumer goods industries, and in the revival of plana long held In abeyance for general industrial panslon. "As the reduction of stocks has been so rapid during the past six weeks," asserted the review, "Invcn torles hove been lowered to such an extent that many retailers have abandoned their plans for holding post-Thanksglvlng promotions, as the small supplies of seasonal goods re maining can c sold without tho aid of any special markdowns.
