I the New York court room Friday, at adjournment time, where the Rudy Vallee divorce case had been heard, there were two prominent reporters. One represented the Associated Tress. The other the United Press. What happened was described by the U. P. representative as follows: Rudy Vallw'a "battle for the century" with his absentee wife. Fay Webb Vallee. over her H00 a week wages, moved Into tha cloaing scenes Friday night with Rudy socking ona of his wife's lawyers. ... Justice Salvatore Cotlllo had Just adjourned proceedings for the day. when Rudy walked over to Benny Hartsteln. his wife's lawyer, and hung a looping right on the attorney'a mouth. Benny got off the floor, bringing ona up from his heels. Ha nearly knocked a courtroom attache kicking with a roundhouse meant for Rudy. Tha great lover was led out of the room, breathing heavily, his hair awry and hi. camel's hair coat half pulled off. The A. P. correspondent described the same "scene" thusly: The battle of tha Rudy Vallaea fighting over a 1100 weekly allowance to tha crooner's wlfa, Fay Webb Vallee almost turned Into a battle of fisticuffs a a day of sensational testimony and chargea ended In aupreme court bare today. As Justice Salvatore Cotlllo announced he would reserve decision on a motion by Samuel Oottlleb, who said Fay "did not dare" take the witness stand, for dismissal of the suit, one of Mrs. Vallee'a counsel, Benjamin Hartsteln, wslked up to the crooning orchestra leader. He remarked: "Stop acting you're not In tha films, now." Vallee awung about, drew back hla arm In a well pol&ed pugilistic attitude, but lawyers Jumped between him and Hart ateln. , Justice Cotlllo, still on the bench, pounded hi gavel and ahouted for order. "He Just sneaked up on me." Hartsteln shouted. "Oh, no ha didn't," replied Justice Cotlllo. "I saw Mr. Vallee and be didn't aneak up on you." Vallee apologized to the court. Hla apology was accepted. In other words the United Press saw a stand-up and knock down fight. The Associated Press only saw a "near fight" with no blows struck and the famous crooner's apology to the court accepted. Which was right! Well not having been there, we don't know. But, we can make a pretty accurate guess. The A. I'. story, was in nil likelihood, the correct one. . IN' fact it is remarkable how these two outstanding press agen eies, through so many years, and with so many different and changing workers, run so true to form. The Associated Press always places accuracy first, takes a pride and a just pride in being historically CORRECT. It would not be fair to claim the United Press doesn't care about accuracy is indifferent to pride itself upon being snappy, colorful, always a few jumps and a few dashes of paprika ahead of its more conservative and more venerable rival. In this determination, it often carries what it calls "color, punch, zip" to the point of misrepresentation. The classic ex ample, of course, was the V. P.'s appalling bull at the close of the world war, when it announced the signing of the armistice a week BEFORE it happened ! With a less aggressive and resilient organization such a colos sal blunder might well have proved fatal. But not to the U. P. It merely took a count of nine and came up with both fists flying, and neck bowed as usual. In a remarkably short time the incident was forgotten. , . . . ' I 'HIS may appear to be a topic of interest only to newspapers and newspaper men. But we think the A. P. and U. P., represent a problem one constantly runs up against in every day life. The person who is NEVER inaccurate is so seldom interest ing the person who is ALWAYS interesting, never dull, is so seldom dependable. Most of us "ideal" in others; and working for the ideal in ourselves, -to reach, somehow a happy medium between the two extremes. The fact that the Associated Press has never lost its place as the FOREMOST press agency in the world, and probably ncv;r will pretty clearly indicates that the proper aim in life is to be TRUE first, last and all the time, and let such matters as pep, charm and sprightliness, take care of themselves. I Putting the IT is quite characteristii; of legislators, dressed in a little brief authority and overwhelmed by their own importance, to losa their perspective and what little sense of humor they possess. Ami this accounts for the tempest in a teapot that raged in the house over the publication of a story hi the Capital Journal relating to the fact that resentment, over Speaker footer's "ex pediency committee" had materialized in the offering of a face tious resolution calling for the presentation of gavels for each of its members. Marion county's distinguished lady legislator hysterically moved a resolution of condemnation against the writer and Representative Nelson of Multnomah moved that the "Capital Journal be barred from the house" while Representative I.atour ette advocated giving the paper "another chance and then deny, ing the courtesy of the house to its representative," but their were no seconds. Cooler counsels prevailed when the speaker announced "he euuld take it." If legislators could sec themselves as others see them their fussy essence would not be so much like that of angry apes. r . . ll ...1 , I . . . or incy wouiu nave 10 aiimn inai uiey re staging an essay in futility.

THE BOILED Just a year ago, a correspondent writes, they took away the last half y.trd, more or less, of the large in testlne and equipped h 1 m with a colostomy. The surgeon, to whom the corre spondent owes hla life and in whom he has .m pllclt confidence, suggested a dtet which It was hoped would ef fect a degree of control over the Dowel action. At one stage flu! la were restricted to three glasses a day, of which two were boiled milk. . . . In this Instance the surgeon is evidently doubling In the role of medical advisor. If all of this particular surgeon's therapeutic principles sre as sound ..s the one on which he baes the qua'.nt suggestion of boiled milk, the victim of the game would do well to thank the surgeon for hla service, pay his fee. and give him the air. What this crippled patient needs now Is not half-baked therapeutic experimenta tion by a brilliant surgeon, but the care of a physician. A common or dinary everyday general practitioner or family doctor will do. Of coursa If the patient haa plenty of Jack to throw around, he can get a certiln kick out of having a specialist care for him. say an internist, that is, one who specializes on whatever Is wrong Inside the skin. Or he may even oe quite snooty snd pass right by the door of the Internist and go straight to a gaatroenterologlst, one who con fines his practice to conditions af fecting stomach or intestine and try and find anything Inside the skin that doesn't affect the digestive tract more or less these parlous times. Old-timers observed that summer complaint, cholera infantum and al lied ailments occurred when Infants or children were given raw milk. Boiling the milk seemed to favor re covery. So they concluded blindly that boiled milk Is "binding." That's the whole legend of boiled milk. What boiling does actually Is kill the disease germs In the milk. That is why boiled milk was perhaps lew Injurious for patients with diarrheal troubles than was the dirty and un refrlgeratd milk of bygone days. But there is not one lota of truth or common sense In the notion that boiled milk Is "binding." No food is binding or constipating In any way. Some foods arc more laxative thin others, but no proper food Is binding. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. McJntyre NEW YORK. Feb. 0. On such a glucose morning as this some heel would send me one of those back firing fountain pena from a 43nd street auction room.

QUESTIONS AND A NSW ICRS Catarart Woman who had cataract devel oping in one eye went to oculist, who Instructed her to take cod Uvsr oil, which she did. and her eye be came well in a short time. (Miss M. V.) Answer I wish we knew that vit amin A is helpful In cataract. It can do no harm, at any rate, if one get ting cataract takes, say, a teaspoon ful of cod Uver oil or hallbt liver oil three times a day for a few months.

It s something like this: The government of the United St at os. the governments of various atatrs and cities, and numerous in dividual a corporation, you know. Is an Individual in the eyes of the law borrowed money, agreeing to re pay the loan In gold coin of a cer tain standsrd of weight and fineness At the time the loan was made, an ounce of gold was worth spprol- j lately 20 67 PAPER dollars. I - fcflEANWHUJh however-somewhat r a year auo-The President X timed States, acting upon authority delegated to him by con - greas, CHANGED the gold value of the dollar, so that an ounce of gold. Instead of being worth 30.67 paper dollars, la now worth 33 paper dol lars. The owners of certain bonds and mortgages containing tha agreement that, they be repaid In gold are e - manning insi iney De paia in goto, instead of In paper dollars. It Is the business of the supreme court to say whether or not their demand is legal. LET'S now take a further look at this situation to see how tt will work out If the supreme court holds that these gold clause bonds MUST be repaid In gold. Suppose you own one of these gold clause bonds for $1,000, which means that you loaned somebody the equiv alent of approximately 48.4 ounces of gold and that he agreed to repay you. when the loan came due, the equiva lent of approximately 48.4 ounces of gold. Before the President, by authority of congress, changed the gold content of the dollar, you could have ex changed your 48.4 ounces of gold for 1,000 PAPER dollars, so that you would have GOT BACK Just what you loaned. SINCE the revaluation of the dollar, ; however, an ounce of gold Is ; worth THIRTY-FIVE paper dollars, j Instead of only 20.87, which means 1 that the value of gold, as expressed : in paper dollars, has Increased about 69 per cent. That means that If you are repaid ! NOW the 48.4 ounces of gold which you loaned when gold was worth 20.67 paper dollars per ounce you can ex change it for about 1690 paper dol lars. It doesn't take much thinking to realize that this would be pretty nice for you If you are a lender and pretty TOUOH If you are a debtor. LET'8 now take a look at the whole national picture. It Is estimated thnt there are out standing In the United States about 100 BILLIONS of dollars of these gold clause contracts that Is to say. agreements to pay bonds, mortgages. etc., in GOLD. If these gold clause contracts were ACTUALLLY REPAID In gold, the eold would be worth 169 BILLION paper dollars, at the present paper I dollar value of gold. j 4 THIS writer Is making no attempt whatever to say here what will happen If the supreme court rules that debt containing an agreement to repay in gold must actually be repaid In gold, or to suggest what OUGHT to be done about It. If this writer were competent to say that, he would be one of the great men of the earth Instead of a small country publisher. But what has been here pointed out does Indicate the vnstness of the problem Involved, and gives some thing of an Idea as to why the papers are so full of tt. 4- Flight o Time (.Mciirnrd and Jackson County HlNtnry from the riles f the Mali Tribune of 20 and II) Year Ak"- TEN YEARS AGO TOUAY February 10, 1925 (It was Tuesday) Radio reports that Floyd Collins, cave Imprisoned Kentucklan. is still alive are denied by relatives and press associations.
