A perfect day in San Fran cisco. Not hot, not cold, everything bathed in (rorgeoug sunshine Mild jet a salty tang in the. air. Even the tea time fopr, usually unfailing when the clock strikes five, failed to put in an appear ance, and the sun set in a blaze of glory over the sparkling Golden Gate.

The structure on the Oakland side reaches far out over the water, and no doubt a properly trained cross be tween a kangaroo and a flying squirrel could hop from the last steel beam to Goat Island, without getting its fert wet. On the island steam shovels were puffing and chugging away at the tunnel and rivetting machines were popping like machine guns, at the top of piers high in the who disembarked trom the Cascade were full of Ohs and "Ahs" and two of them did nothing but grind away at movie cameras until the ferry boat landed at the Ferry building. Only one warship visible in the harbor. The last time or was it a year ago the "fleet was in!" . , Whom should we meet on the bow of the ferry but R. K. Blankenburg, of the Gold Hill News who is en route to Omaha, Nebraska via Los Angeles, where he intends to have his new car delivered (it's a Ford, Pop, so count this as a free ad, with the M. T.'s compliments.) He reports the eement plant running full blast night and day and Johnny need feeling much better than he did just after the election. Knvy him his motor trip back at this time of the year, meadow larks singing and ahem ! the agitators agitating and the unemployed invading PWA headquarters for higher pyy. A CCC bov formerly at Medford hobbled through the car, with the assistance of a buddy just dragged himself out of No out of a hospitnl at Roschurg, pressed to his side as if in pain, lie was a pathetic object. Later in the smoking compartment had a little chat with him. Many weeks ago he suffered a ruptured appendix and came close to "popping out" as he expressed nothing through his mouth not hy a needle intravenous injections. He has been transferred from the Roschurg hospital to Chicago. Pathetic to look at but what a cheerful and appreci ative soul. "Couldn't have been treated better." said he. your own folks couldn't have nurse, say she wag a swell kitl, always cheerful, a great kidder and jest worked her pretty head off to gel me well." Merely added evidence of what a wonderful work the CCC is doing, and what a heritage of good will and better citizenship that organization is going to leave, to this country, through the years! It may be the wonderful day in part, but everything appears brighter and happier and more cheerful in San Francisco than was the case a year ago. Then several of the best known hotels were closed and many stores vacant. Now everything seems to be full up and going full steam aheud. And judging by the lunch we ate, prices feel the same way. It wasn't much" of a lunch but it made a dollar look like HO cents, not including the sales tax.

R, Slab of Provolt Marble Quarried 1880, Used in Washington Monument (By Esther Bristol.) PROVOLT, Or.- (Spl.) A recent article In tha Mall Tribune oonwnlng the Urn deposit now being worked by the Oregon Lime Products company aroused much dlacuaslon mong the "first famlles" of Provolt and Wil liam. In the former, article, it a erroneously stated that the deposit waa d Hoovered by one Al Jones, monument maker. It haa been learned alnca that Mr. Jonea did work and patent aome of the land now owned by the Urns company, but that wsa only as far back as 1001. Heminiscencea of pioneer resident of the valley dtaclose the fact that a large piece of marble vu cut from this quarry sometime s round 1830, to be used In the Washington monu ment at Waahintgon, D. C. Charles Oougle, son of Abraham Cougle. one time owner of the deposit, recalls that when he waa eight or nine years of age a marble cutter by the name of Ruaaell, or Aahtand, c-une to this deposit and worked for days cutting the atone. Harry Cougle, a brother of Chailes. remembered that Mr. Russell stayed at their home while he was engaged In cutting the rock. "Mr. Russell.' declares Mr. Cougle, "got the rook under government contract. He waa assisted in the cutting by a miner by the name of MOarvy, who lived near here. Wooden pegs were drlvtm by hand Into the rock and the block waa broken off clean in this manner. The first rock split after they had left here with It and It waa necessary to return for the second. I remember how put out Mr. Russell waa becauM of this, for It took the profit out of his venture. There were no railroad any closer than Roseburu or Redding, so the big block, weighing close to four tons, was hauled by horae to California, where It was put on the cars. My cousin. O. K. Rose, hauled the rock down with hla team.' Account vary a to how far Mr. Russell got away from the plant with the first block he cut. (Some say he got only a far a Ashland before a flaw tn the rock broke It In two; others say he got clear to Redding before the rock cracked. The Washington monument w.s completed in 1884. The block here was cut sometime aroumt 1880. The monument for the first iSI feet is built of dressed white Maryland mar ble, MAASAChuaett marble and New England granite. Above that, the wall are entirely of marble and tn these walls are memorial atones with Inscriptions, contributed by nearly every atate in the Union. As far as anyone can recolect, the first lime from trtla deposit waa burn ed in the 1880 a. by two men, Mc Oarvey and Snowden They used home-made kilns. dig into the hill side. On December 1, 1873. O. P Topping homesteaded a 'are acre age which included the marble de posit. He, too, built a kiln on the property and furnished lime for near ly ever home then betnt built In the valley. The remain of several kilns can still be seen. The patent to the land was lutied In 1877. and signed by Pr-vlnt t' 8 Grant. Herman lelu;r oi Provolt. son air.

For a long time he took even water but was kept alive (he Ft. Sheridan hospital near done more, and that blonde of Simon Messlnger, recalled that hla ratner burned lime with that rock 80 year ago. For year a certain field on the Messlnger property was called "Lime Kiln Field.' There, huae logs were plied, the rock dumped on top and log again atacked until the pile of rock and wood towered 13 to 14 feet high. It would burn for days. Lime for a number of early arant Paa bulldlnga waa obtained from this deposit. An amusing incident In the life of O. E. Rose, the man who hauled the rock, waa uncovered, although It has nothing to do with the Urn deposit story. Mr. Rose cams to thl coun try In about 1857, when he wa a lad of only nine or ten. He came acrosa the plains with an emigrant tral n . Because of the severe hot weather, the train traveled only at night. One morning, in the early hours, aa the long line came to a halt for the day, the boy horse was dis covered, riderless. A group of men set out to find the boy. They found him several mile back, still faat asleep on the prairie graa where he had fallen. The fall from the horse to the ground had not bothered his slumbers one whit.

O. offered the follow ing suggestion, in which Mrs. L. B. happened to concur. Lie on the back and slowly lift cramped leg to an angle. Thla never XPm falls to re lieve cramp and straighten out the kink. Some victims of these cramps find It necessary to get out of bed and stand or walk about the floor on their toes for a few moments. Others remain In bed and press the toes firmly against the footboard of the bed for a few seconds. M. L. D. simply turns the toes of both feet Inward, tn the pigeon-toed position, as far a possible, holds them like that for IS to 30 seconds, then goes back to sleep. The Interesting remedy a Snn Fran cisco physician ha found helpful was reported In this column Friday, Jan uary 4, 1935. Thla Is a course of med ication with calcium lactate, chloride or gluconate. The victim of leg cramps may take say ten grain of any of these calcium salts three time a day, directly after meals, dissolved In water and flavored with syrup and fruit Juice, and should continue this for a period of at least six or eight week. But even a few dose may bring relief for several nights. Now I'll tell one. If you old timers don't mind. My preventive or remedy may strike you old fogies as too ab surd. I've noticed that many of the best things in modern medicine strike old fogies 110 that, old fogies In the profession as well a dumb laity. But the beauty of the remedy la that you don't have to take It. I simply offfr It. You may leave It or take it. Re member, I get my pay whether you like my treatment or not. With me It Is a matter of no pay no cure. But don't envy me. brothers; I served 10 year In the mine before I ever got thl way. My suggestion Is that one subject to either night cramps or day cramps aa described should make It a habit to roll himself or herself half a dozen somersaults on the floor each night and each morning. I don't want to hear any wisecracks about thl. I have heard them bo many time that they bore me. If you take the Idea seriously but do not know- Jut how to go about rolling them, I'll be glad to send you a mov ing picture which tenches you Just how to do It If you will provide a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress. How much In earnest I am about aomersnuKs may be indicated by the fact that I roll 'em myself, not Just morning and night, but many times NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, March 14. J. P. Morgan took the first step In shuck ing the enormous Lond Island es tates of extravagant acres. In offer ing a large slice of his Olen Cove place for public sale, he broke the Ice for scores of the land poor among the once fabulously rich Tax problems and m o u n ting doubts of eco- n o m 1 c security have sent a shiv er of fear down the c o 1 1 e c th e a p 1 n e of the glorified land owuen. For many months any number have been oc cupying the lodge -keepers' quarters and marking time until the skies cleared. Servants, In Innumerable Instances, have remained on without pay and there are some who have to buy their own food. It Is believed that Morgan, who is, of course, far from broke, has made it easier for those who want to trim their sails and not incite a wag ging of heads. There are establishments with big sweeps of ocean frontage and up keep of $300,000 yearly. Considering that they are occupied only a few months a year, they have become white elephants. The task of the Long Island landed gentry now Is. In the great change, to keep exclus ive. Then there is the plight of the private yacht owners. About five per cent of yachts will be in commission this season. Any number are rotting at their docks. Yachts that cost 8180, 000 are offered as low as 818.000 with no tskers. And there sre pent houses, fully furnished, that may be taken over by those who will psy the main tenance charges. Or do you feel choky about yacht owners today?

In fact I find a few somersaults remarkably helpful In straightening out Jams or difficulties when Idea don't come right or when one hits a snag.

Qt'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Stove Without Flue Using two-burner kerosene heater In small apartment. It has no flue pipe. I suffer much from dull head ache and wondered If the stove 1 the cause. (Mrs. P. H. M.) Answer. The air of the room be come vitiated or exhausted by any fuel burning in It, without a pipe or chimney to carry off the products of combustion. Coal, wood, gas, oil, kero sene, gasoline. It doesn't matter which fuel is used. Then, too, there 1 al ways a chance that some carbon mon oxide may pollute the air, and that is exceedingly Injurious to breathe, even in the slightest trace. For com fort and safety every such stove should have proper connection with the chimney flue. Where open gas plates are used, at least one window In the room should always be kept open while the gas la burning. Pol lution of the air by carbon monoxide very likely cause the headache you describe. Lost, Some Cotton On a recent very rainy, damp day I placed some coton in my right ear. as I have found that this seemed to prevent a sort of ringing In the ears In such weather. After I had put It In the ear I realized the amount wk too small and tried to remove It, but was unable to get hold of It, It Is itill there. Is it likely to cause trou ble later on? (Miss R. E.) Ans. You should never Insert any thing In the ear without medical ad vice. You had better have the physi cian examine the ear and remove the cotton If it Is there. CoriVe Substitute Recently a guest of friends. I was given a coffee substitute which I liked better than any coffee. It Is made of a mixture of dried carrots, tirted wheat and dried acorns. Is there anything harmful In using this in place of coffeee? Ha It any bene fit? (Mrs. K. J.) Ans. It Is harmless. Roasted acorns have been used as a coffee substitute In Germany for a century or more. The decoction would scarce ly have the benefit which coffee has. (Copyright, 1935, John F. Dille Co.)

But the Guild was really toppled from Its pedestal by an up and coming pro ducing youngster known as the Group Theater. They are achieving what the .Guild set out to accomp lish, but with a merry whoop Instead of a sniff and holier-than-thou. Likely the most daring and finish ed act-ln-one of the circus and mus ic halls is that of Con Coll ea no of the high tight wire.

His show manship Is superb and his costume and name suggest' the Spanish or Mexican artist. But the beagling Louis Sobol discovers he waa born Cornelius Sullivan In Brooklyn and is one of 13 brothers, all of whom are acrobat or trapeze performers. The father waa a light-weight boxing champion in Australia. John Rlng llng once told me he regarded Col leano's somersault on the wire aa the most dangeroua ever performed. Incidentally no stage act In the circus has filled the gap left by Lil lian Lettzel, the cupld of the flying rlngsv Year after year she was the big draw.

One 1 that of pro change. The motor bus, quieter and more flexible, gives service that the people of today prefer, and because It runs on streets built by the public It la able to give CHEAPER service. That la happening all over the country. THE other lesson Is thl: Street car companies. In on wav or another, become Involved In poll tics, and politic brought about their ruin. It 1 doubtful if a wholly solvent street car company la left In the United States. If you want your business to re main sound, keep It out of politics at any coat. A.A. SENATOR BORAH, a headline tells us, demands the junking of NRA. Some such demand was Inevitable, sooner or later. NRA, as originally conceived, was all right as a DREAM, but all wrong from the standpoint of practice. It proposed reducing all business to a dead level everybody buying at the same price as every body else, everybody selling at the same prloe a everybody else, ana no place left for the exercise of In dividual Initiative and energy. If the time ever comes when such a system will work In thl country, thl win no longer be the America built by our sturdy forefathers. ROY KEENE was walking down a Spokane street the other dav when he saw a billfold lying on the walk. He picked it u) and found It contained $528 In currency. He took it to the nearest police sta tion and turned It over to the desk sergeant with the explanation : "Somebody might need trhs." THE story, of course, gets on the front pages of the papers, on the theory that It la unusual and people are Interested In the unusual.: It Isn't as unusual a might ap-1 pear, because the cynic to the con trary notwithstanding HONEST peo- I pie are really quite numerous, out numbering the dishonest ones many times. ANOTHER bit of human nature: A "sandwich" man In New York found a valuable package of bonds and, being honest, he turned the bonds In and they were returned to their owners. He wa liberally re warded, and got extensively Into the newspapers and the newsreels. The combination of the liberal re ward and the publicity turned his head, and shortly afterward he ran amuck in the streets, claiming he waa GOD. A lot of heads have been turned i by unexpected prosperity and pub licity.

How many hungry men. women and children could be fed and clothed and educated for $13000. 000.000? Think of the milk Unc e Sam could buy for undernourished children, for $13,000,000,000. Think of the back salaries that could be p;itd Id school teachers and college professors with even part of that $13,000,000,000. From what I read these days, I am led to suspect that sundry of our statesmen, both elder and young, would prefer that the $13,000,000,000 go to the crooks. They may have their way. I can't m6 tli tt the teachers and professors are getting more: nor can I discover that the crooks are getting less. And it costs $15 a year for a boy enrolled In a vocational club, against $500 a year to maintain a boy In a state' prison. And about 180.000 people are In prison. About 400,000 men are en gaged In pursuits and occupations for which they may be in prison one day if they can be caught and convict ed; which is doubtful. I suppose all these billion account pretty largely for the fact that many of us get behind In various phases of financial outgo, Including house taxes. Even so. the $13,000. 000.000.000 for crime, and the $500 a year for the boy maintained In prison, are to be most regrettable. It may all come out in the wah but what a wash bill to pay! F. L.
