The Gates proposition has met with hearty support from those who are In no denser of being, com pelled to hoe onions.

The veterans of the recent strug gle to make the world sale for de mocracy are now suffering that viper's bite In the United Slstes. The same newspapers which were anoint In? them, ten or twelve years ago, as heroea rompsrable to the Cld are de nouncing them currently as a rabble of pension-grabbers, without merit and without conscience. One hears that they have already got Immense autns out of the treasury, and that their demand for more has no more equity In It than the demand of a prohibition agent for his bribe. They are reprrsrnuvl to be loafers who proKse to live all the rest of their lives at the communal expense. Bo lowriown have they become In the pt'blle esteem that even politicians venture to sjilt Into their eyes (Tampa Times). WHEN men like H. G. Wells and Frank Simonds agree on a recipe for world peace, it ig a ten to one shot, that their conclusion is the correct one. In the Liberty Magazine a few weeks ago, and in the At lantic Monthly, placed on sale today, these two famous students of international relations, outline their views of what must be done, to prevent another world war. Wells in Liberty discusses the problem in general terms; Simonds in the Atlantic, discusses the problem more specifically, in an analysis of international problems, from Wilson's LeHgnc of Nations, to the militant Nazism of Adolph Hitler. But in a most sensational, interesting and convincing fashion they arrive at the same conclusion. This is: The same causes that produced the war in 1911 are still operative today and unless checked by international control of investment and raw materials will inevitably produce the same effect upon a larger scale. It is not by pacifist senti ment, but by world wide economic organization that civilized mnn can be saved from collective suicide." Which simply means world peace iB no longer a political, but an economic problem. Peace is threatened, not because there is any world opinion favoring war; but because war ap pears to many nations the only way out of economic disaster and internal collapse. N OTHER word this super-nationalism, now the main force threatening peace, which ig embodied so dramatically in flalian Fascism, German Nazism, and Japanese imperialism ; proceeds from the realization within these countries, that unless they have more land, more markets, more raw materials, they are doomed to fall behind in the race for economic security and well being, and eventually be relegated to the position of second rate and dependent powers. Neither the peoples nor the leaders of these three countries would, or will, accept such a fate. None of them want war none of them, per se endorses it. But unless by some international agreement they can be assured the room and the raw materials they need for national security, then they are going to fight, in a last desperate effort to secure them. Certainly not. a very cheering prospect, except perhaps to some of our soviet brethren in Moscow. as one surveys tho world today, any such international control and division of material resources, as Wells and Simonds suggest, appears as impossible as an airplane flight to the moon. Men like Wells and Simonds can see the necessity, so undoubtedly can many other deep students of political, eco nomic and social forces, but the people as a whole, who in the last analysis determine such matters, cannot see it. So unless there is some new and unexpected transformation in human psychology, some complete revolution in interna tional relationships, surely another world war, can't be pre vented, Which brings us back to a statement frequently made in this column, that we can't have peace, until we are willing to pay the price that peace demands. That is a tremendous price. The first step is replacing super-nationalism with a workable internationalism, and WHAT a step that isl The only hope lies in the proper leadership on one hand, and the proper elevation of our mass intelligence on the other. The ability to perceive that while the price of pence is a heavy one, the price of war, is not only much greater, but in all liklihood would mean the end of what we have known as civilization.

William Brady. 2fi5 El (amino, Beverly 1 1 1 1 Is. Cal. CURTAIL THAT COMA. The soundneas of sleep Is measured by the Intensity of sound required to awaken the sleeper. By such tents It has been shown that the deepest sleep occurs nor mally about ar hour after the subject goes to sleep. The sleep be comes more shal low In the sec ond and third hour, and still more shallow In the fourth and filth hour. Must of us have noticed taat we waken easily at this stage of our nocturnal coma. Following this period of light sleep there Is a second period of deeper sleep at about the sixth or seventh hour In adults, the ninth or tenth hour In children. This relapse into deep coma Is what makea so many of us miss the train or tardy at school In the morning. Now I am going to tear off an other mere notion of mine. It has no scientific foundation at all and I can quote no Imposing authority to sup port It. You may take or leave ft, as you do all of my notions. That Is, you usually exclaim "Tchkl Tchk!" when I first spring It, then about the 'teenth time I recent to It you take It up and look It over skeptically, and at last you accept It as good com mon sense or reject It as nutty, de pending on whether it happens to coincide at all with some precon ceived fancy of your own. But, boy or girl, if you think some of the no tions X unwrap and exhibit here are extraordinary, you ought to well, my correspondents know I do have some of the darndest Ideas. Vet I've never been committed to a sanitar ium. But before I utter this heresy let me warn you It applies only to heal thy adults. It does NOT apply to children or Invalids. By children I mean persons under as years of age. In other words Individuals who have not yet attained mature development, physically,' mentally, morally. I aet the age at 25 years because many children arc not full grown adults In all respects until they reach that age. tho some arc at 20 or S3 years. The notion, then, Is this: I believe that very shallow stage of sleep at the sixth or seventh hour Is nature's call and one should answer It by get ting up. I believe six hours of sleep Is sufficient for full g.-own persons. Remember the shoal comes about the sixth hour In adults, but about the ninth to tenth hour In children. Very well, let adults get up after six hours of sleep, and let the children sleep on for nine or 10 hours. An adult who lies abed two or three hours over his or her fair sleep ration merely grows Indolent, loggy or dull. Many adults past 30 owe their Insidious accumulation of slacker flesh and thick head largely to superfluous sleep. We're liars all about our sleep. If we happen to lie awake an hour or less when we feel we should be asleep and Imagine every one else In the world Is enjoying refreshing slumber, we'll He like blazes about It and com plain that we never slept a wink, or scarcely closed our eyes all night long. If we happen to catch our dream or remember some of it on coming out of the coma, we com plain we've had most disturbing dreams all night. Truth is everybody dreams every moment asleep, but only when on the threshhold or when sleep is shallowest do we occa sionally bring a fragment into consciousness. Ql'KSTIONS AND ANSWERS Itemoval of Gall Bladder Woman aged 48, apparently in hearty health except for gas and oc caslonal Indigestion, now told she has gall-bladder disease and urged to have the gall-bladder removed. She has no gall-stones . . . (R. H. W.) Answer How do you know she has no gallstones? Many gallstone suffer ers never have typical gallstone roltc or Jaundice and the X-ray falls to reveal evidence of stones, yet pay dirt is found at operation. On the other hand, removal of gall-bladder for cholecystitis (Inflammation) without stones proves unsatisfactory In nearly half the cases In. which this operation is done. The present prac tice Is not to remove the gall-blad der on suspicion or for simple chron ic cholecystitis (inflammation) with out positive evidence of gallstones, for experience has taught the physi cian as well as the surgeon that medical control of such a condition gives the better results. Soundness of Sleep When Is sleep the soundest or best? I mean, is there any basis for the common idea of "beauty sleep" be fore midnight? (S. L.) Answer The deepest sleep occurs about an hour after one goes to 3leep. Sleep Is more shallow from the second to the third hour. From the fourth to the fifth hour it is still more shallow. Then fcUows another period of deeper sleep at about the sixth to seventh hour In adults, the ninth to tenth hour In children. It makes no difference whether the sleep Is before or after midnight, day time or nighttime rest, other things being equal. (Copyright, 1934, John F. 'DHVi Co.) Ed.

Roberta, in De troit. "American collegea are rotten." de clared Roberta, himself a college grad uate. He deployed lack of co-ordination of aublecta In all college curric ula and praised technical schools. Only Dr. Charles K. Prall, dean of the school of education at the Unl veralty of Pittsburgh, agreed Tilth Roberts' first statement. "Certainly a college education can be secured by reading books." the dean said. "In fact, practically any one can educate himself. But how many are doing It?" Dr. Charles WstkUis. assistant to the president of Carnegie institute of Technology, took a different view point, stating that "It all depends on the Individual and object In view." "If a an extreme opinion." Dr. Wat kins said. "Naturally, much must be studied which really has no bearing on the major course, but how else can a broad 1-ducatlon be secured?" Rev. J, J. Calahan, president of Duquesne university, laughed down the entire Idea. He said: "It In wives the whole theory of education, but of course, aa head of a university. I am prejudiced.

Now I am going to ask George In his next debate not to debate with himself, but give me a chance to dbate with him, and let the audi ence, with neutral minds, be the Judges. I aaw George lose a number of hot arguments at the last county budget meeting at the courthouse. This baa given me courage to tell George that the Townsend plan la Just an untried theory. Impossible to work In harmony with our capi talistic system. It la impossible to have two kings sitting on the throne st the same time, aa one will behead the other, and we should bury one ruler before the other U crowned king. Why not have congress adopt Sen ator Capper's old age pension plan? It ti practical where the Townsend plan is not. Why not have our state legislature adopt our State Labor Commissioner Oram's plan? What about Upton Sinclair's EPIO plan? Now I have attended several Towns- end meetings, and I notice If a per son haa not caught the Townsend spirit or refuses to Join the club, he Is either classed aa a nut or called a dumbbell. Now I would much rather be called a dumbbell than be a sap. I have Just finished reading the Townsend plan or booklet. I notice It savs to Inform the national head quarters of any activity against the Townsend plan, but the book does I not state what the penalty will be for such an evildoer. I have not seen anyone get very far off the ground : by trying to lift himself by his own I bootstraps, nor has anyone perfected perpetual motion. Yet there has been a number foolish enough to think that they have obtained It. Now George, let's get this debate going, as you already have the af firmative side and I will take the negative. It will take some kind ot ; a battery to start this Townsena pension wheel to revolve on the road perpetuslly. F. E. Townsend says If prlcea rise to a general level much in excess of the present we shall have to raise the retirement pay to a higher level. (So I suppose If prices Jump from five to ten times what they are now, the Townsend olan must start at least at $500. Instead of $200 a month). He also says he will curb the cut-throat speculator. (How eut his throat?) Townsend says it will only be a few years before the retirement will be dropped to 60 years. Why not retire babies Just born say on ten dollars a month, and add ten dollars Year extra each month as they grow older. I don't think. any politi cal party Is sane that will indorse a platform that will give any able bodied man only 50 years old a pen sion who la too lazy to scratch. Imagine paying him Juft as much as cripple or blind person eighty or ninety yeara old. Now these are Just a few reasons why the Townsend plan Is Just an other untried theory and Is impos sible. George, you say the Townsend plan Is self-sustaining. I say it is not. When and where do you want to hold this debate? Let's get started. W. N. CARL. Parmer Bill fro mApplegate. December 27. P. S.: We will let the Townsend club sponsor this debate aa it seems to have lots of money to send to Long Beach. As they will have to re port this debate Into headquarters anyway, saying that they have a dumbbell here in southern Oregon that they cannot shake off.
