Onion planting and culture In

building a railroad to the coast, but
will give the railroad to the coast
something to haul, when It la built.
The hoeing of a row of onions, ac
cording to Promoter Oates. entails
leas than a third of the labor en
tailed In trying to catch a fish, or
kill a deer. The Gates proposition has
met with hearty support from those
who are In no denser of being, com

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.

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.

PARIS (UP) A doen world rec
ords lor wornen filers fell during
1034. three of the new major marks
having been made by one young
French Rlrl, who was killed In a
crash on Nov. 30.
Tht late Helen Boucher, 30, licen
sed only three years ago, achieved
this feat and became the leading
woman star In French aviation. Be
sides her major marks ahe held sev

planes and her altitude mark for
light planes waa beaten only recent

Among the marka to fall to Mile.
Boucher was Amelia Rarhart's speed
record over 100 kilometers of 3R1.470
kilometers per hour. At Istres on
Aug. a. 10.14. the French girl made
an average of 413 371 km. flying a
Cattdron plant with 310 horsepower
Renault motor.
Aside from Mile. Bouchers new
speed records Important women's

PITTSBURGH (UP) -Three of the
lesdlng educator. In Pittsburgh dls.
agreed on whether "youth would be
far better off Just reading books than
in apendlng four years In American
colleges." a statement made by the
author, Kenneth u. 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

while the old king waa still sitting
on the throne, with all the national
power and wealth back of the throne.
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.

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.
