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.

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.

understand it Is the rascal's trick, of
working for me a stomach scratching.

H AGAIN REMARKS
jections at Intervals of a few days or
week will cure most cases.
These are only a few of the many
excellent practical suggestions con
tributed by this extraordinary doctor.
Z call him extraordinary, not because
he still plays tennis at an age when
many men are doddering, but because
he is capable of recognizing the su
periority of newfangled methods over
those which he was taught to use
and has used for many years.
What alls the loud-mouthed Amer
ican surgeon?
He is to much of a hide-bound
self-contained, half-baked bumptious
little nincompoop to comprehend that
all progress did not cease when he
gpt his certificate from the American
College of Surgery.
It la refreshing to find a real doc
tor carrying on amid all the commo
tion caused by the horde of F. A. C.
S. charletans elbowing and pushing
their way to the front seats and the
front pages.
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

Comment
on the
Day's News,
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE Is a prediction:
The Townsend plan, calling for
a 300 a month pension for every
body over 60 and requiring the 200
to be all spent within the month
received, WON'T get Into law.
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

1 Townsend plan will fall of enact
ment Into law.
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.
