"Well, this gives you a chance to go out and kill another man," Judge Fred V. Wood yester day sentenced Damon Pease to "life Imprisonment" In Folaom prison. The trsgle collapse of the Macon, Slant dirigible, perhaps creates the hope In msny hearts, that leading political windbags do the same, with out the formality of an election.

In recognition of this fact the American A. A. U. has invited it to compete at Denver next month for the national title. This is a groat athletic honor, not only for Ashland Normal and Southern Oregon, but for the entire state. To send the team to Denver, however, takes a great deal of money. Unless sufficient funds can he raised the team will be unable to make the trip. Realizing the importance of this matter, from the standpoint of amateur sport, and from the standpoint of beneficial publicity f-r Southern Oregon and the entire state, the local chamber of commerce, wisely decided to get behind the effort to finance this trip. Under its sponsorship, therefore, there will be a benefit game here at the High School auditorium Thursday night of this week, between the colorful S. 0. N. S. and the brilliant Union Oil company's basketball team from ""pilOSE who attend this game will not only see one of the best exhibitions of modern basketball, ever put on in the state, but they will be contributing to the very worthy cause of send ing our own Southern Oregon Normal School boys, to th.; national tournament. By brilliant r'a.v bard training, and the right fighting spirit, these boys have won the right to represent this state in the fight for the A. A. U. title. They certainly should not be deprived of such a of -funds. So the Mail Tribune is glad to urge all basketball fans, and lovers of good sport, to make it a point to attend this game. Let's show Coach Howard Hobson of Southern Oregon Normal, that Medford appreciates what he has done, and is glad of the opportunity to show that appreciation, by packing the High school auditorium with enthusiastio supporters on Thursday night. How TPHE Mail Tribune has been one of the few papers in the state, to consistently support the League of Nations, and the spirit of world cooperation which it represents. A study of the files will prove this fact so' conclusively we were greatly surprised to receive a communication, which is printed today in another column, criticizing this paper's attitude toward the League, and its failure to become "world minded" and oppose the spirit of structive force in the world today. The basis for this complaint recent comment upon the failure of the League to take some effective action against Italy in its determination to invade northern Africa and secure a slice of land, at the expense of Ethiopia. We did make such complaint. when the League did nothing Japan's invasion of Manchuria. But obviously such criticism and ineffective FUNCTONIN'G League itself. We still believe in the League believe in the world court, and But we have no illusions about torial in question : . Wtitt la the answer, that the League of Nations Idea la all wrong? No. the League la essentially right, and sooner or later undoubtedly later the principle It embodies muet prevail. But the fart remains, what wa call the civilised world has not yet advanced morally to the point where auch a League can either prevent war or be an effective Instrument for peace. The League principle was and la right but the TIME It waa advanced. WASN'T. Far from showing what our correspondent claims, opposition to the League, it shows the exact rather stubborn refusal to abandon support of the League prin ciple, even though, as a practical matter the League, is, from the standpoint of realistio American politics, as dead as King Tut. inis does not mean those who stop fighting for it. It DOES mean they now need spirit, a willingness to struggle no hope or immediate success, striving for what they believe to Legally Wrong, THE complete text of the affirmative gold clause decision, is ttrintA4 in th P.itlo..J I . ui. . i.i uniiu iilt.llllllg CIS, We can't truthfully say, a reading of the same, radienllv clarifies or changes the opinions expressed in this column yesterday.

The view of the average man probably will be that whatever the legal technicalities and subtleties invoheel, the net result is that common sense and equity won.

TEA LEAF POLL Popular magazines have recently described In the usual extravagant fashion the alleged discovery by a factory physician of the efficacy of t a n n 1 e acid for burns. The Pittsburgh Medical Review, May 1930. con tained a report of the effects of such treatment for burns. It gave simple In structions aj follows: A five per cent solution Is esqueezed from a sponge over the denuded (raw) surface, which Is then dressed with soft ointment (say soft paraffin, or as It Is more commonly called In this country, petrolatum or petroleum Jelly) with or without tannin. Pain Im mediately abates, and the heal ing process Is wonderfully rapid. The tannin, (tannic acid) solu tion must, of course, be freshly applied as often as the dressing Is renewed. To that I would add the advice to renew or disturb the dressing ONLY when discomfort demands it. Once any burn, wound or raw surface Is clean and In condition to heal, the less frequently It Is dressed or handled or disturbed or moved unnecessarily, the more satisfactorily will It heal. Tannin or tannic acid Is a strongly astringent brownish white shiny substance obtained from nutgalls, su mac and tea. Coffee contains less tan nic than tea. Tea or coffee made without boiling contains less tannin than do , the same beverages after boiling. More over boiling drives off the pleasant aroma of coffee or of tea. That's why I say It Is a crime to boll the cof fee, and when you smell coffee be fore you get down to breakfast the cook should be sentenced forthwith. Tannin ts not bitter at art, but. oh. gosh, how It does pucker up things and hsrden your lnsldes. Tannin (tannic acid) Is not so soluble In warm water as It Is In boiling water. 1 Way back In 1871, Dr. W. H. Searles. Warsaw, Wisconsin, publish ed In the Chicago Medical Examiner! (April Issue) his homely remedy for burns, reporting Its successful use In the case of a child who had been ter ribly burned over the entire front of the body, arms and legs, by the kettle of hot water the child had upset up on Itself.

"Almost like magic the suf ferings abated and, without the use of any other anodyne, the child soon fell Into a quiet sleep.

Tenderness had nearly disappeared . . . .little patient made a good recovery In about three weeks. Since then on several occasions I have had reason to recommend tea leaves, till now I have come to prefer It to all other remedies in the first stage of burns and scalds . . I, (Old Doc Brady) suggest that the tea leaves be made Into a poultice with BOILING water, rather than Just hot water. Ordinary green tea Is oke for such a poultice, but black tea contains more tannin and would probably be even better. QI ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Reading English Dr. Brady says he can name PHGs who cannot read or write English. Of course I suppose he meant American bred. Can you get a list of them for me? (H. O.. Ph. O.)

Ten days ago our young daughter swallowed an ordinary pin. Should we try to locate It with X-ray? We live 16 miles from the nearest hos pital . . . (Mrs. F. S ) Answer When a child accidental ly swallows a foreign body the best course Is as follows: Oive no physic and no emetic. Instead, feed the child as much banana as he will take for twd days. Also give all the mashed potato or other vegetables chopped fine. The purpose of this Is to sur round the object In stomach or In testine with a mass of residue, so that it will pass thru without Injur ing the mucous membrane. Usually the object passes naturally within 48 hours. Good Lad. I wash my mother's kitchen floor without shoes or stockings, sliding around the floor covered with soap and water.

The cosmopolitan glddy-ap has made a city of clragette smokers, who can snaffle a few quick puffs and flip the end away before flitting here and there. The prejudice against the pipe has driven It from the cafe and most of the club lounges. Ben Bernte, averaging 30 a day, and Oeorge Jessel a similar number, even longer and blacker, are likely the heaviest cigar smokers of the stage, next to Frisco. He Is top. He touches off his first "heater" Instantly upon awakening and thus It goes, puff, puff, puff, all day until bedtime. He even smokes between bltea at meals.

"The chief business of govern ment," he said, "la to provide a balance between the haves and the have-nots." SINCE the beginning of time, so ciety haa been made of these two classes the haves and the have not. For uncounted ages, the haves consisted chiefly of the STRONO, who by brute force were able to take It away from the weak. Then gov ernment waa Invented, and LAW took the place of brute force. The making of laws, from the very beginning, has been pretty largely an effort by the haves to KEEP It and the have-nots to GET It. W HEN government Is able to main- tween the haves and the have-nots, things run along pretty well and ev erybody Is at least moderately sat isfied. But when things get out of bal ance. In either direction, there Is the very devil to pay. IN FRANCE and later on In Russia, things got clear out of balance In favor of the HAVES, and the ea sulng resentment on the part of the have-nots brought on a bloody and terrible revolution. When things get out of balance In favor of the have-nots, the haves simply get discouraged and quit working and business goes to pot. The thing to do. you see. Is to keep a reasonable balance. ' AT THE present moment In his tory, nobody loves a HAVE. But let's stop and think a mo ment. Even the despised and much-thundered-agalnst havea have their uses, if they are properly handled. They pay taxes, you know, and the taxes they pay provide us with schools and roads and sewers and police protection not to mention JOBS. The thing to do with these wicked haves, quite obviously, Is to handle them In such a manner that they will go on working and scheming and producing for the reat of us, while at the same time not permit ting them to become so strong as to get out of hand. dent was knocked unconscious, when he ran Into a door while racing out of the Nat last night, after a basket ball game.

If you handle your aheep right, you will get a lot of wool from them, and will be correspondingly comfort able and happy. But aupposa you get greedy, and say to yourself: "The wool I'm get ting from my aheep Isn't enough. I wsnt their HIDES, too. The next time I shear them I'm not only go. lng to take the wool but am OOINa DEEPER and take the hide aa well. "I need It In my business."
