To th Editor: I wish to call ttentlon to a con dition which now exists In Medford. and which I leel certain haa been overlooked. That la, the economic condition of the muilclans In Med ford. Tew people know of the dlra dis tress of aoma of these folk. Hera let me state that I am not speaking regarding my own financial condition. Although I am a musician, while I am not wealthy, at least I am removed from want of food, clothing and fuel. But It Is for my fellow muslclana I would apeak. Comparatively few people realise the years of labor, the privations and vast expenditures which make a musician's life. Moat or us have bcra obliged to work our way through a musical school or college, which means not only hard work at what ever presents Itself, but msny times hunger for days. Once for five dsys I was without food and my snoes had big holes In the soles, while my tuition at Chicago Musical college waa $144 per month. Perhaps you think that difficult to believe. But listen. Anyone who knows anything of psychology real lees that In order to attract an In come one- must appear prosperous. Therefore, a musician spends for an appearance while his houae is empty of fuel and hie stomach actually growling because It Is so empty. These folk are very generous. Very rarely does a musician complain of prices. Yet, we are asked to play and sing at different functions and Just OIVE our time and talent, without so much as an offer to pay for tire music we have been obliged to buy (to say nothing of the time spent In learning It) or the gasoline we have used to come and oblige you. Now then, I would suggest that when musicians are asked to per form for your clubs, luncheons, etc.. why not take up a collection and help those who have given you pleasure. Not one of us who desires to put a burden on anyone's shoul ders. Vet we cannot use the same music over and over, nor wear the same costume without your con tempt: "Huh I that's all they know Can't be very prosperous. They haven't but one costume." And. friends, who is to blsme, you or the musician? A musiclsn wouldn't think of em ploying the services of a doctor, law yer or of any other person without psylng him a fee. Yet a musiclsn I I im not spenklng of the amateurs, for there are plenty of good music ians here! has psld sa much as the doctor, and, msny times, more for his education. Perhaps you don't csre for the voire cr plitymg of a certain music ian. That shouldn't be any reason to slight them. Personally there sre severs! great names I don't csre for. But I sdmlre tlirlr energy and cour age to have tried and won. We can't all be stars. Some of ua must be content to be rush-lights snd "shine where we sre." Have I offended? That wss not my Intention. Have I been over-bold? Someone must take the first step. And I am certain that once you are scqunlntcd with the fscts that each of your kind henrts will go out to those In your midst In love and sympathy, snd thst your hsnd will find the purse string and not lust hst-g nil to (. but shsre with those who are so desirous of giving their best.

JMQA, They're Both Right IT is rare, one can consfiientioiiBly agree with both sides in a controversy. But in the recent debate between former Gover nor Al Smith and that atalwart champion of nudism, Dr. Isley Bonne we find ourselves in complete agreement with BOTH gentlemen. Mr. Smith declares the spectacle of a frroup of people, of various sizes, shapes and ages, without clothes is indecent, and repulsive. Dr. Boone retorts, that nudism is not, never has been and never will be, provocative of immorality or an incentive to promiscuity. We maintain both men are absolutely right. We also maintain the second statement, is an inevitable corollary of the first. Q.E.D.? nothing. Why continue a debate that can only end in a draw, and contribute no more to the store of human knowledge than a cat chasing its tail t , Mr. and Mrs. George Putman OXCE a newspaper man always a newspaper man. fienrtre Palmer Putnam, husband of world famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart Putnam, was once humble editor of the Bend Bulletin. He was ulso private secre tary to the then (now late) Governor Withycombe. Shortly after a new governor for the East where he entered his father's publishing firm, trav elled, wrote a few books, finally divorced his first wife and married Miss Earhart. He has been chiefly distinguished since then, as "Miss Earhart's husband." BEING a good newspaper man, George Palmer was careful to Kenrl tiia wifft ivinrinc on hpr wav from Honolulu to the United States, when both the Hauptmann trial and congress had adjourned for the week-end. This daring flight by our feminine Ijindy is therefore plastered all over page 1. As his attractive and charming wife hopped off Husband George was again a good newspaper man. Asked how he felt about having his wife leave him in that way he said : "I would rather have a baby." That should make page 1 also, graph in next week's Time, as well. WHEN George Palmer married Miss Earhart it was predict? d hv some of his Altronmiin club rials, that the union would not last long. George likes the reflected glory, and is n. person However we think this pungent gem of masculine philosophy throws some light upon why Mr. and Mrs. Putnam have made such a success of their matrimonial venture. In a word it is letting Amelia have her own aerial way, and never crossing her. For as Amelia paused before hear her husband say: "I would rather have a baby than let her go." We arc quite sure that Amelia, as she gave her ship the gun and waved over the side sweetly "I had rather you bad too, Abuse of CLYDE STEVENS was arrested in Tendleton four or five Venrtl npo fnp I'Jlrvrniinv Aftnr a fnw iraaU in -loil ha true " "O" - "fl "."-.J ....... u IVH nv.no ju n,l uv ...... released. A few months later he was arrested in- California for holding up a chain store. Tried and convicted he was sen tenced to San Qnentin for from five years to life. On October 21st last he was less than G0 of his MINIMUM sentence. Yesterday young Stevens held up a bank in Pan Francisco and shot his yvay out of a police trap, with about $tiOO in cash. For some mysterious reason no one was killed. A NATURAL inquiry arises. what sort of parole was it, which allowed this boy bandit, to return to crime in less than three months after his releasef During parole an ex-convict is tion, and required to report from to his activities and whereabouts. Before a parole is granted the parole board is supposed to study the character of the appli cant, fully explore his record, and be convinced that the grant ing of freedom will not be abused, but will facilitate his refor mation. In the case of Clyde Stevens things was done. It is only another demonstration of the abuse of the parole system, which is fast approaching the proportions of a national scandal. WE believe in the parole system when properly administered.

Hut iu actual practice we arc convinced that nine times out of ten, the parole system is a stimulant rather than a deterrent to organized crime. How can the crime wave ever be stopprd, if professional criminals are released from prison, as fast, or faster than they arc put in To abolish the parole system be a great mistake.

HOW NECROTICS ARB MADE, Under the title of "A Tartar In Training" we printed here the other day a letter from a mother of a two - year - old baby. This moth er said she was unable to break the baby of the pacifier habit, be cause, living with the baby's grand parents she found that grandma wouldn't tolerate any crying and bo whenever mother tried to take the pacifier away grandma Interfered and gave It back to the little lamb. A kind enough intention of grandma's, but mighty bad for the baby. The mother also complained that the baby Just wouldn't take any soups, vegetables, cereals, fruit Juice or anything else except milk. FlnBll;- mother complained about her own broken sleep, for even If they put the baby to bed at 0 p: m. by 1 o'clock In the morning he Is wide awake and clamoring to do t'.lngs and go places and he keeps this up for at least an hour before he drops off asleep again. Mother asks If we can't recommend aometh; g to give the .baby a better appetite, but cautions us not to sug gest somebody's yeast preparation, for he refuses to take that. Even if times are hard and these parents have to live In the h' me of the grandparents, that Is no reason why the child should not get a fair break 1 the way of proper care and training. The parents should obtain proper medical advice about the feed ing, sleep, the general care and hy giene of the child, even If It means a battle with the grandparents. Grandma's Interference In the training of the baby varies n verse ly with the Intelligence of the parents. I mean Intelligence of how to care for children. Darn little of that Impart ed to the future parents In the com mon schools. It Is rather a nasty subject and so the schools Ignore It. This lother la training a young tartar, a holy terror, an incorrigible, a delinquent, perhaps a recruit for the underworld. Heredity has little to do with that. Poverty or wealth has nothing to do with tt. In my opinion. Environment, family spirit,: home atmosphere, moral principle and training seem to me the factors which are important In determi. ng the character and fate of the child. Here Is an unfortunate situation, an amateur mother who believes the bnby needs other foods than milk but! fails to give the baby the advantnge NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK.

Grandma means well, no doubt, but she Is Insuring the ruin of the child, nevertheless. The best course for this mother would be to take her baby to a physi cian for specific Instructions about feeding, sleep, etc., the proper way to care for a baby and give the child a break. If she can't afford medical advice she should take the baby to a public dispensary or free clinic She might do this Instead of "throwing a party" when the baby falls to sleep. Think of putting a baby to bed at 9 p. m.l Every baby should be abed by 6 p. m. at latest. Babies under a year old should be bathed, fed, and abed by 6 p. m. (More about this later). QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Diet for Gallstones Please give a list of foods for gall bladder trouble. (O. 8.) Answer Cholesterol enters Into the formation of gallstones. Foods con taining cholesterol should be elimi nated or taken only sparingly If the purpose la to prevent gallstone forma tion. The chief cholesterol sources are yolk of egg. cream, liver, brains, animal fats. Besides excluding such foods, you should restrict your total diet to a maintenance ration, that Is, take only enough to keep your weight from falling below the normal for one of your age and height. Plenty of vegetable oils may be taken. Movies Does going to the movies three or four times a week hurt the eyes? (G. 8.) Answer No. The modern moving picture l& free from flicker and does not tax the vision. slt-k Headache Following your recommendation 1 took calcium lactate for 10 weeks. That was three years ago. I have not had a headache since. From child hood tip I had suffered from sick headaches at Intervals of from one to three weeks. Doctors told me there was no help for them, except pain killers. (B. L. M.) Answer Calcium lactate Is no spe cific. It does seem to do much good In some cases of periodic sick head ache, if the patient takes, say, 10 grains twice or three times dally, after meals, with a good drink of water, for a period of' not less than 10 weeks.

When the late Frank Ward O'Malley felt full of caper, he'd call up cronies and sug gest: "Let's play saloon 1" Comment on the Day's Nezvs By FRANK JENKINS ffUEY WNO, the Louisiana King- fish, ghes out a statement in Washington to the effect that the Roosevelt policies are "beyond hope," and thtn something drastic must be done to bring us out of the depres sion. It Roosevelt's policies are beyond hope, what would Huey Long's be? Hu UEY'S Idea of the way to bring ua, out of the depression Is to "wipe out all fortunes above three or four million dollars, and make every man a king." A FEW of us too few, probably will wonder what would happen to those who now work for the big fel lows who would be wiped out. Hu UEY'S answer, of course, Is that after the wiping out process was complete every man would be & king. FOk ONE LONG MOMENT THEY BELONGED TO HEAVEN and forgot the cruel old scoundrel who ruled their ' lives with (earl lovely Jean Parker, the "Beth" of "Little Women," in a pulse quick ening story of young love. but a king with no Job and nothing to eat isn't any too happy. TP one never "stops" to think, talk about wiping out the big fellow, whose operation provides employment, sounds fine. But If one DOES stop to think, this troublesome thought occurs: "If the boss ta wiped out, I'll lose my Job." FJUT let's speak seriously for a mo ment: Huey Long's statement, which Is Interpreted by the political writers In Washington aa a bid for a presi dential nomination next year, pro vides proof of something that has been reasonably evident ever since the election In November that Franklin D. Roosevelt la likely before long to become the white hope of the con servatives. M TpHIS dispatch from Washington Is Interesting: "A six-point criticism of NRA code price fixing was presented to the re covery administrator today by the consumers division of the national emergency council." The criticism might be summarized in these words: "Code price fixing has resulted In increasing prices faster than ability of people to PAY." "HAT is the trouble with all these artificial restrictions on business. They tend to RAISE THE PRICE of what we have to have. A .shining example Is government regulation of the railroads, under which freight rates have risen so high as to be a serious drag on business. ""VNE trouble with us is that we have come to think of high prices as producing prosperity. They DON'T. Prosperity result when prices, thru the law of supply and demand and the play of free competition, are kept down to the point that people can afford to pay. (Contlnueo f.jm pnge one) The opinion seems to be growing on the Inside that the New Deal, can run the public debt up indefin itely during the next three or four years without inflationary trouble. Apparently Wall Street believes It, but England cannot understand such American optimism. The London reaction to the budt message waa one of wonder. Britain now is balanced except for a few tricks, such as the omission of her war debt to us and certain monoy snitched on the sly from her stabili zation fund. SYLVIA it ; l- ..

Roosevelt ha not used all hi budget tricks yet. He ha one big ao in the hole, snd you will see it when ever the treasury going get rough. It may.be denied now, but ar rangements once were actually made during the preparation of the current budget, for including 2, 811. 000.000 bookkeeping profit which the treas ury has accumulated out of dollar devaluation. It would have made th budget look much roier If the debt could be reduced that amount. After an inside row, it was de cided to leave the theoretical gold profit out this year, but it waa evi dent to all who participated In the discussion that Its ultimate ua would not long be delayed. Incidentally, Mr. Roosevelt custom arily refers to the gold profit a "th kitty."
