JMHA, Editorial Correspondence EUGENE, Oregon, Jan. 25. "Oregon Press conference." arrived at the one hour in the 24, when science tells us human vitality is at the lowest ebb, i. e., 3 :45 a. m. It didn't sound that way as we staggered out of the sleeper. As the rain stopped and silence enveloped the ear fairly hummed from behind each green curtain with nasal obligates that re minded one of the municipal wood yard in full cry for g free dinner. Strange how universal the snoring habit is, particularly among males. We used to think it was a Pullman peculiarity but after some years of experience we have decided it is prac tically a universal accomplishment. Personally we shall be grateful when the Pullman company abandons the open cur tain-ear arrangment, for more or less sound proof compart ments. We admit that NOISE is not what is disturbing, proved by the simple fact that when a greater noise made by the train drowns out the adenoidal symphony, one finds no difficulty in falling off to sleep. It is the knock in the nasal cylinders, laxation so extremely difficult. However we didn't take the train to sleep but to get to our destination, without having to drive a car in the dark or getting the editorial spinal vertebrae dislocated by a ride in a motor bus. Rosey will understand. It should be one of his greatest talking points, at least with those who can soon qualify for a Townsend old age pension. Not that we would praise the as travel to Eugene is concerned. Not only is human vitality lowest at 3:40 a. m., but it is a most unfortunate time of the night to arrive anywhere. There is only one proper term for it the zero hour. For it is too late to go to bed and too early to get up. It is simply nothing at all, as far as time is concerned. Deciding thus, ye editor went to bed. . e There is one peculiar feature about press conferences. One might think that when newspaper men get together there would be news. But there never is, or almost never. The news boys like to get together, they like to talk shop, they like to josh and cat en masse, but we have yet to attend a press conference, a report of which would really interest anyone outside of the journalistic fraternity. The present writer has attended very few press conferences, yet his average is probably as high as the average in the southern part of the state. He always attends them with the vague idea he would find copy, but to date he never has. Strange, isn't itf Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that when professional and business men get together, for a reunion, their real desire is to get away from business, not become even more enmeshed in it. e Browsing around this university we have discovered that Medford boys up here are making good in a big way. Messers Colvig and Phipps, are regarded as outstanding undergraduates in the School of Journalism, 'and the faculty predict bright futures for both of them. Phipps is one of the busiest men on the campus and we understand Colvig is sure fire for Phi Betta Kappa. There are a couple of Medford Freshmen who nre also reported to be extremely promising. In conclusion we are wondering about the weather down home. Can it be that the Willamette Valley has it over sunny southern Oregon on climate or is this "spring weather" uni versal over the state t Blue sky arid sunshine balmy enough for flannels aivd shorts all today, proaches. Somehow it doesn't make sense. . Perhaps something of interest will develop in the press con ference later on, it has only started, but if not we shall run up to Salem and see if anything is stirring there. We see tho House today passed a memorial endorsing the famous Townsend plan. But that isn't news. That's politics. R. W. R. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre PALM BEACH. Jan. 38.

SPRIGHTLY YOl'T A while ago a 64 -year-old young ster took time off from his tennis to tell us here how be keeps his teeth Every morning while shaving he holds ln his mouth some sodi um perborate so lution (heaping teaapoonful o f the perborate In a glassful of water) and keeps swishing It about using a fresh mouthful of the warm solution once or twice while shaving. Sodium perborate, as told here In '27. Is one of the best remedies for preservation and treatment of Vin cent's angina, so - called "trench mouth." The young colleague who usee It to keep hla mouth and teeth clean, as described, has no use for tooth brushes. He has conducted careful testa on the mouth of many persons,, and the testa have shown that the use ofperborate as mouth wash la more effective than tooth brushing; persons who brushed their teeth always had mors bacterial colo nies on the culture plate than did those who used the perborate solu tion aa a mouthwash. One can buy a pound of sodium perborate for a dollar, and a pound will make a lot of mouthwash. This same alert young colleague now submits some more practical sug gestions, which I am glad to pass along to our readers. 1. Ganglion (weeping sinew). Al though Incision and dissection of the sac, under local anesthetic, is effect ive, it may leave an unpleasant scar on the wrist. With a large gauge needle the thick fluid may be re moved and about 16 drops of urethane and quinine Injected into the sac, and a moderate compression applied by means of suitable dressing for a few days. One such treatment Is us ually curative. ' 3. Tuberculous cervical lymph nodes or "glands in the neck" (for merly called "scrofula"), which wo commonly operate on, respond better to X-ray. 3. cancer of Up or tongue more successfully treated with radium or X-ray without any surgery. Surgical Intervention only when lymph nodes ln neck are Involved. 4, Gastric or duodenal ulcer now a medical problem. 5. No need to operate on hydrocele. Aspirate fluid and Inject Into sac fif teen drops urethana and quinine, no pain at all, and from six to eight in Q lances of pawing strangers have the contempt people feel for animal tor turers. Any morning I expect an S. P. C. A. agent to knock. They don't understand it Is the rascal's trick, of working for me a stomach scratching. Lye Poisons Child. SPRINGFIELD, Mo.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nitroglycerin Dad, 67, but working every day as a manager, subject to angina attacks. When he Inquired for glyceryl trini trate tablets the druggist said they were too potent. (H. B. H.) Answer Glyceryl trlnltrln, former ly known as nitroglycerin, Is potent all right. But not poisonous. It Is a common practice for persons subject to anginal attacks o carry a vial of the tablets, and to dissolve one ln the mouth whenever an attack Im pends, or, better, to take a tablet whenever any distress 1 felt at all. There Is no harm done by this. Hydrocele I saw a suggestion ln your column that hydrocele may be cured without operation. As I have the condition I should be grateful , . , (Q. G.) Ans. Physicians skilled ln modem technic are successfully treating hy drocele by injections. I caution you to make certain that your doctor Is one of standing before you submit to his treatment.

THE Townsend plan would cost two million dollars a month, or 24 billion dollars a year which would be roughly equivalent to paying off the present national debt every year. The Townsend plan pensions would take HALF the present national In come Miss Perkins, secretary of la bor, saye the national Income In 1933 was less than 40 billion dollars which means that 50 per cent of the nation's earnings would be turn ed over to about 8 per cent of the population. Such 'a scheme could only mean national ruin. RESPONSIBILITY Is a sobering thing. It Is all right to get together In a CROWD and demand something that Is obviously Impossible and that no body really expects to get, but when somebody has to assume direct re sponsibility It Is another matter en tirely. It la this writer's Judgment that If SOLE RESPONSIBILITY for en acting the Townsend plan Into law and levying the taxes necessary to pay It were placed upon the Indi vidual shoulders of the MOST RADI CALL member of the present con gress, giving him dictatorial power to say whether or not It should be attempted, ho would vote against It. -4- V TAKING direct responsibility for almost certain national ruin Is too grave a step for even the mem bers of the present congress, with all their Jittery fears of what the voters back home will do If they don't sup port the Townsend plan. So It Is a safe assmuptlon that the Here is the Picture that we advertised for last Sunday, but didn't arrive due to bad weather!

HERE Is another prediction: Some form of old age pension WILL be unacted Into law by the present congress, and if the sums re quired to support tt are within the reasonable power of the earning pop ulation of the country to pay. It will NOT bankrupt the nation. Instead, it will provide security for those beyond their earning years, and it may actually ADD to the pros perity and general welfare of the nation as a whole. A REASONABLE old age pension Is economically sound, because the aged must be supported, and from the standpoint of the welfare of the nation aa a whole It makes little difference whether they are support ed by private charity, by the contri butions of relatives or by an old age pension from public funds. The money has to come from SOMEWHERE, anyway, and It might as well come from taxes. ; Flight o Time (Medford and Jackson Count; History from the files nf the Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Year Aro).
