ON the front page of today's Oregoaian is a picture of Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, president of Vassar college, sans collar and shave, Bnd unbecomingly attired in a sweat shirt. Above the cut is the caption "Few Gents" and below the following : "There are few gentlemen and no ladles left," Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, president of Vassar college, told etudent yesterday. But did hef The context of the news article shows the dis tinguished educator, modified his sweeping statement with the all important phase "in the old sense." And the article further shows, the subject of the discourse was not "ladies and gentlemen" but contemporary manners. To say there are few gentlemen and no ladies is one thing; to say there are few of one and none of the other in the "OLD SENSE" is quite anqther. And to bear in mind the subject dealt with manners, and not with social castes, throws an entirely different light upon the picture. IN other words we fear the Vassar executive got ratber a raw deal from the newspaper boys. He is made to say there are few gentlemen and no ladies, in America today when it is a safe assumption that what he really nid was nothing more than that manners and customs change, and during the present generation have changed sensationally. Ladies in the old sense of the term the lavender and old lace sense, have passed pretty much out of the picture. Gentle men of the old school are so few and far between, that when one is actually met, the first impulse is to phone the nearest museum that an exhibit has escaped. One doesn't need a full report of President MacCracken 's remarks to be safe in concluding he was commenting upon the radical chnnge in manners and customs, and deploring the fact. certain fundamentals of consideration, kindliness and courtesy, so noticeable in the past generation, are so conspicuous by their absence in this. But he did not gay and had there are no ladies, in the world nor that gentlemen, men of character, breeding, and courtesy, are practically extinct. We call attention to this matter principally because we be lieve it illustrates a journalistic practice which needs to be corrected namely, the practice of taking a few words from the context of an address, playing them up, because they make belter "story" and thereby character of the address or the It is in our opinion not only journalism. Two Porterhouse Steaks . "DOSS, said an excited chef in a local cafe recently " "the depression is over. 1 just got an order for two porterhouse steaks." "Maybe he is right," the boss reflected, as he scurried to dust off bottles of Worcestershire Maybe the chef was right, we of recovery do travel on their stomachs. Perhaps two porter house steaks are more practical indices than these other weakly weekly indices of business recovery. Porterhouse steaks ordered in pairs may have it all over the operations, carloadings and broker loans. More practical than the theories of "labyrinthine divagations to furnish comprehen sive statistical proof" of America's power to produce and con sume goods and services. Perhaps the hamburger complex is broken. Are middle class Americans running the gauntlet of emergency diet and adequate diet to the goal of liberal diets 1 Certainly porterhouse steaks and juicy tenderloins are more than adequate. If porterhouse is back, the depression will soon be over, ov?r here. (Exchange) BMknd (Continued from Page One) worm thrtn the general called him. Huey barely mentioned Johnson. Instead, he started hla old patent medicine spiel on sharing wealth. The trick waa even worse, because he persuaded the broadcasting com pany to donat the air time free on the plea that It must give him the aame time and right given General Johnson. The result waa he got forty-five minutes free air time (Johnson had forty minutes) and a larger crowd probably than Johnson had. The broadcasting officials were per turbed about the possibility that Huey would libel Johnson and get them involved In a ault. They plead ed with Huey to watch hti atep. "Dont worry, boys. aald Huey, the Klngflah never libel anyone." The promise may not add to Huey 'a reputation for veracity, aa he la now a defendant In a libel ault and was once arrested for slander, but U seem ed to pacify the broadcasting officii la The truth Is they are In a very delicate position. They cannot afford to rent out radio time to demagogues, because there are so many people willing to send In their dollars to finance such broadcasts that.

W.ENTV OF HKMhlUFS FOR LEG CHAMPS One with varicose (enlarged) veins or hardened arteries la likely to have more or leas aching and cramps in the leg at night. Especially after a day of hard work or long standing. Inversion Is a good remedy or at least a good preventive against these cramps. Lie on the baclt3 and elevate the legs to vertical for a few moments, as many times in the day aa possible. Either let the leg rest against a wall or even Just plaoe your feet for a while on the top of your desk or on the mantel, to get the aid of gravity for the return of blood through the long veins. Sedentary persens will bene! It more from this Inversion if they do a bit of pedal exercise while lying with legs ele vated that Is, work the feet and toes aa though Juggling a large ball. Individuals with the early arter iosclerotic changes In the legs are more likely to have what la medical ly termed "intermittent claudica tion" a kind of cramp which comes after walking. The cramp may be felt In the legs or sometimes In the belly. This cramp or lameness passes 'after a brief rest, but the sufferer must stop and rest at once Victims of such limping or Inter mittent claudication should carry a few nltro-glycerln tablets which must be fresh or else the nitro glycerin (glycerl trlnltrln) will have volatilized and dissolve one In the mouth whenever the discomfort threatens. But no such treatment can avail for ordinary leg cramps which occur usually In the night. : Sometimes the cause of these noc turnal leg cramps Is neglected hem- ! orrhold or other rectal trouble, and no lasting relief from the cramps can be given until the cause is properly treated. In not a few cases pronated or weak feet (potential functional stage of flat feet), Improperly treated with arch props trick shoes proves respcnslble for the painful night cramps, and here, too, only Intelligent correction of the weakness (systemic as well as local) will bring the relief de sired. Too many sufferers with pro nated feet choose to fiddle around with quick foot specialists rather than to seek medical treatment for what alls them. They forget that the feet are a part of the human body. Miss V. W. M. reports she has found relief for leg cramps by cov ering her head with the bedclothes and rebreathlng the air for a few minutes. E. A. L. reports he seldom suffers from the cramps any more since he made It a practice to put extra covers over his legs from the knees down. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

QUESTIONS AM ANSWERS Doctors Censurable Please give your opinion of this drowning case . . . (H. 8.) Answer The clipping Inclosed de scribes the rescue from the water of a body. It says "Doctors A. C. Blank and W. H. Blank were pres ent when the body was recovered, and ordered Its immediate removal to hospital, where Doctors' So and So worked for over half an hour before giving up hope." There might have been a chance for the victim had the doctors who were present when the body was recovered "ap plied resuscitation on the spot. To order or permit removal of the vic tim without keeping up artificial respiration every moment is pretty Incompetent practice. Those two phy sicians should be punished. Cochineal Color In your column you gave a recipe for a good Hp sal ve , com posed of . . . and a few drops of cochineal to tint. I have inquired at several large drug stores and only one had cochineal, but it comes only in pow der and he said that would be troublesome to use . . . (Mrs. W. O. E.) Answer The recipe for Lip Salve Is as follows: Melt together one ounce of spermaceti and two ounces of olive oil and one-half ounce ol bleached beeswax in double boiler, remove from fire, and when the mixture has cooled somewhat stir in four drops of oil of rose ger anium and. If desired to tint, a few drops of cochineal color. Cochineal color (Liquor cocci, N. P.) is an nlcohol-glycerin-water solution of cochineal, which any druggist will find described in the standard form ula book, the National Formuary. Illark Widow Dr. Cesareo DeAsis, who has con siderable experience with spider bites, both the black widow and the red black spiders, in his Philip pines practice, reports In American Journal of Tropical Medicine that an intravenous injection of 10 cc.

Johnson i U44 fe-a-Ar Comment on the Day's News Hv FRANK JENKINS REVOLUTION, as these words are j written, la sweeping Greece. ! with what results no one knows ac curately. Dispatches from Athens intimate that the government is whipping '. the daylights out of the rebels, but we have to remember that Athens la the seat of the Greek govern- ment, and therefore the seat of the censorship. When censorship steps In, you ; can't believe what you read. WHAT really interests us Is this brief sentence trna an Athens dispatch: "With decisive developments ex pected momentarily, Turkey and Bulgaria were uneasily guarding their frontiers.' A revolution in Greece Isn't such a world-shattering matter. But the murder of an Austrian archduke In 1914 wasn't much of a world- shattering matter, either. Yet it led on to a world war. YOU'VE seen a row of dominos set end on end. Just a LITTLE push will knock over the first dom ino, and It, In falling, will knock over all the others. These little wars In Europe are I like the push that knocks over the domino on the end.' You can never quite tell where their consequences will stop. A WASHINGTON dispatch tells us that Senator Husy P. Long has announced that he will seek re- j election to the U. S. senate Instead i of running for governor of Louis iana, as he had once contemplated. What la Louisiana's gain Is the nation's lof. AN INTERESTING New York dis patch: "An inflationary flareup In finan cial markets was short-lived today. Early stock market gains of one to three or more point, were later can celled or reduced." It seems that Wall Street first heard that the president Is planning further dollar devaluation, and then. about the time the ensuing specu lative fireworks got under way, it heard that he Isn't planning any such thing. So the boom flopped. FINANCIAL activity.' you see, goes up and down, NOT on supply and demand, but on reports of what the government Is or isn't going to do. Not a very healthy condition. 4-4 EVERY now and then the govern ment does something sensible. The bureau of public roads, for example, announces that hereafter all new highway construction In or near towns and , cities must have provision for parallel footpaths If tha federal government Is to extend financial help In the building ' of the roads. Foot traffic on the pavement Is a constant menace to safety, and yet you can't expect pedestrians to stay off the pavement If no place Is provided for them to walk. If the government would spend on footpaths along the highways sorj of the money It Is wasting elsewhere, it would be a mighty good Idea. 1 Conuniiiiications Thinks Hauptmann Innocent. To the Editor: An article from your paper, re printed in the Oregon Journal, has set me to thinking. I refer to the article on the Hauptmann case. Trie last sentence struck me as an un usual piece of reasoning, so I re-read the whole, and have been pondering the evidence as well as I can recall It. and I'm now beginning to believe more and more that Hauptmann is Innocent. You say. "How did he iet the ran som money?" Couldn't he have got ten It the way he said he did? And. " Wh y did he wrl te t he ransom notes?" As I recall It, some of the expert didn't believe he did. The sleeping suit wasn't found In his posetwion: Jafsie had It. And the ladder seems the queerest evidence o.' all first, that a carpenter should make such a Door ladder 't wouldn't h.Vrl hi- n-'t7ht nti evv-n1 tht he ! should rip a piece of wood out of his attic when he must have had all kinds of wood ready to hta hand. He bought most of the .adder ma terial, why take one piece from the attic? Especially from a house where he Intended to stay while spending the money? He must hve known It was riAy to have it In his possession he should have carved his name on the ladder, too. Tie man who devised the trick of marking tiie kidnap notes w:th three p:nholr. so that no one else could counterfeit a note, must have been time his entrance and exit through th.it window so no one him. was a clever fellow; the man who coulo Midget Photos 3 for 10c STITMO I a claver fellow; the man who could plan the delivery of the money so i he could get It without being seen , and without handing over the baby, i was a clever fellow, and yet we are 1 expected to believe that this clever man made such a rott?n ladder that , It broke the first time he used It. and tnat he put a piece of his own house Into it. I suppose I will be classed among the "sob-sisters" for this line of chat ter, but I would like to hear some other opinions on these points, and your article seems to how you've dene some thinking on the subject. I'll be glad to refund your postage If you care to reply by meil. or If you reply editorially 111 pay for a copy of your paper. Respectfully. E. C. BOHLMAN. 2728 N. E. 23rd Ave., Portland, Ore. Ed. Note: We fear any further reasoning on our part, regarding this case, would appear equally "unusual" to our Portland correspondent; Just as hla reasoning appears "unusual" to us. We see no reason to modify our opinion that the evidence against Bruno was overwhelming, and tnat he is the one man In the world who could, if he would, clear up the case once and for all, and remove the in consistencies which seem to bother Mr. Bohlman so much. We regard his continued silence, and the meth ods of his defense attorneys, as one of the strongest links in the circum stantial evidence against him an In nocent man or a man implicated but not guilty as charged, would have "come clean" long ago.
