Have We No Ladies?
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

nor that gentlemen, men of character, breeding, and courtesy,

We call attention to this matter principally because we be

corrected namely, the practice of taking a few words from

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

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

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

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.

QUESTIONS AM ANSWERS
Doctors Censurable
Please give your opinion of this

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.

Comment

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.

Thinks Hauptmann Innocent.
To the Editor:
An article from your paper, re

set me to thinking. I refer to the
article on the Hauptmann case. Trie

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

ten It the way he said he did? And.
" Wh y did he wrl te t he ransom

expert didn't believe he did. The

posetwion: Jafsie had It. And the

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.

Ye Poet's Corner
Our Old l.ooklns-Olass
One evening in September I was sit
ting by the fire.
The wife was winking tea, the cows
were in the byre;
Says I to her, "My darling, we're get
ting old. alas!'
She answered me, "I've seen it la
our old looking-glass."
"Our raven locks," then I replied,
"have changed their ebon hue.
The Great Beyond has whispered to
the many that we knew:
Like summer blooms in autumn, we
are sinking In the grass.
For Nature is a mirror, like our old
looking-glass."
4The night will come."' ihe smiling
said, "yet bright the stars will
shine
Up yonder In the twinkling arch, as
in the lang, lang syne.
For nothing can our faith destroy,
whatever comes to pass;
We'll keep It clear and shining, like
our old looking-glass"
Then to the ending of the road to
gether we shall go.
Be it the milestone 'midst the green
or 'rnong the wreaths of snow;
And when our last lap snail be run
I'll say to her. "My lass.
We'll see the light of heaven in our
old lookln-glassl"
(The above poem waa recently re
ceived by Mrs. T. L. Taylor of this
city from her parents, who live ia
Scotland).
