The soulless corporations pungled up their taxes on or before the 15th. the same not being detrimental to the people. . Sir Mnlcolm Campbell, the British auto speed king was reported on East Main twice last we-k. The first time he turned out to be a 12 yr. boy after a bottle of salad dressing for the bridge game sandwiches, and the sec ond time he was a fellow who forgot something at the golf club. Summer weather In these parts was lsndered. by a writer-to-tha-edltor lsst week, and among the first to rush to the defense of July and August was William Lydlard, No. 3 Bill of the Economy Groceteria.

Editorial Correspondence SAX FRANCISCO, March U.Vy early to see the Malolo come in, bearing to their native soil .Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Carpenter and the "editor's daughter" after a few weeks in Honolulu. The boat was due to dock at 8 a. m. but arriving at the pier at 7:."0, the arrival was chalked up on the little black board siirn as nine a. rn. So there was plenty of time to do the waterfront. It was a busy place. At the Matson pier the stevedores were Catherine, a rough and ready crew with union buttons pinned prominently in their weather beaten caps, preparing for the unloading of the big ship's cargo. Even a larger mob were at the Dollar line piers, where the President Madison was pre paring for a round thc-world cruise and the President Coolidge, a large and very imposing liner, was being loaded for the regu lar Oriental run. There was an air of bustle and excitement, mixed with the odor of boiling tar and roasting coffee. As the stevedores waited for the "zero hour" they gathered in small groups and discussed the threatened strike at the sugur plant in Crockett, which all Medford S. P. travellers see as the Shnsta crosses the big Sacramento bridge early in the morning. All in all they appeared a sullen and rather belligerent lot. No joking or chaffing. Anglo-Saxons were conspicuous by their absence. Some of the late arrivals bought hot coffee and crul lers at the dock lunch wagon, which was plastered with signs of "all union, all white." "Coffee 5 cents and wine a dime." Ng idle persiflage among them cither. One gathered the distinct impression, these stevedores might be heaving bricks and beat ing up cops without much provocation. . In contrast with the glorious day before, the sky in the early morning was overcast, and a slight drizzle was falling. This did not prevent a number of Filipino boys, lining up along the docks and throwing their dirty fishing lines into the dirtier water. They were lucky, too, jerking up wriggling silvery min nows, resembling what we used to call "shiners" in the creeks of southern Wisconsin, many years ago. They put the wiggling minnows into dirty bags, where the wiggles gradually subsided then ceased entirely. Orientals and Latins are notoriously in different to the suffering of animals, large or small. A pressure of the thumb and one finger would have been a quick and merciful end, instead of slow smothering. Hut perhaps this is only another way of saying Nordics are inclined to be senti mental! Came upon a large and gracefully lined "four master", white as milk and with its brass work A gildeil mermaid serving as deck a small mounted gun, disabused us of our first impression we had come upon a private yacht. The Spanish colors over the stern ami little dark skinned middies with pom poms on their caps, persuaded us this was a Spanish training ship which it proved to be. We had noticed some of the middies doing whoope up town, on the dance floors of one of the big hotels, the night before. All was business now, making things ship shape for departure. Later the and one of the most inspiring furnished as the four master, glided toward the Golden Gate. Malolo had seen the training ship thing incongruous about that. We mean a bankrupt, nation like Spain sending a ship of "future admirals" around the world! To a confirmed land lubber very thrilling about a big liner bands playing, the hands waving, the hankies fluttering, the white sides of the ship looming high in the air like a skyscraper, and someone "near and dear", coining home or departing, there is an irresistible pull on the emotions. We can understand and sympathize with tearful scenes on the dock they seem alto gether fitting, but we have never been able to muster the same reaction to similar scenes when the train conies in except of course where the situation is for sonic reason unusual, and tragic. Yet there are people who cry with etual facility at both. As tar as safety is concerned train and boat travel under mod ern conditions, rank high on the list. Few people think of wailing in their hankies when they see friends and kin folk off on a motor trip or via the air. Which only demonstrates no doubt, emotions are pretty well grounded in race history, on tradition. We were much interested in waddled down the gang plank newspaper reporters. She was eyes blinked brightly behind She reminded us very much .Mecltord, ot beloved memory. And when she stoutly rofused to allow anyone to take her pict uro the resemblance was even more striking. We Inter learned she is Mrs. Ronald Cireville, D.B.K, (JJamo of the Hritish hmpire). Queen, who speaks of the Prince a short visit with the William II. Crookers here she will motor to Mexico City. Obviously a witty and gallant old enl. trooninc around the world alone at her age, taking her whiskey neat, and making herself felt by sheer force of personality. Well so was .l rs. boov 1 The Weather Man is back pression of better days is confirmed. But the fact we happen to be staying pretty much in the hotel mav be a factor. Thanks to the repeal of prohibition, and the California liquor laws, the hotels of this state have taken a new lease on life. The bars are running full blast, wine boys in aprons are scurrying, corks are popping, everyone from managers in gardenia decked morn ing coats, to room clerks and hell boys are on their toes figur atively singing "Happy days are here again!" Along the water froiit and up in Union Square, we can't say the spirit of high carnival was so apparent. Speaking of the waterfront one of the huge concrete towers for the new bridge rises directly in front of the Mntson line pier. From there the bridge will reach as far as Third and Townscnd.

The readiness with which animals In cap tivity, particularly clrnlvora, succumb to Infection has been falsely attrib uted to lack of exercise and fresh air; the absence of certain food factors, notably vitamins, la the probable cause.

Now well have to submit to a few remarks by or Doc Brady, but It won't be long, and aa soon as I have got my bit off my chest we'll turn to McLeater, Sher man, Colwell and the other big shots with little Interruption or Interpreta tion by yours slncely, M. D., D. P. M., F. A. M., as the fashion la. Due to the availability of material for experimental work, far greater progress Is being made In animal economy by the veterinary physicians than we are making in human medi cine, at least In the science of nutri tion. Yet It is astonishing how dence remains the ignorance of the laity about the proper feeding of animals. particularly pets, and how gullible the owners or breeders of animals and birds are in respect to the teachings of charlatans and merchants about tlon. Yet It la astonishing how dense mala. Seems to me there ts a wide field for a competent veterinary phy sician or two to teach the public how to fefd. train and care for pet cats. dogs and birds. That Is. if the quack merchants will permit it.

The same author: "Chronic vitamin deficiency produces numer ous vague borderline states of ill health which often puzzle the physi cian and disable the patient. They are of greater Importance than the well defined deficiency diseases such as rickets and beriberi. , . Mettler, Mlnot and Townsend (J A. M., Oct.. 1930) presented their study of scurvy in adults and ex presned the belief that Intent scurvy can be precipitated by Infectious pro cesses in individuals whose nutrition Is already faulty and also that early arterloclerosls may favor development of this mild and easily overlooked scurvy in adults. Hess (Scurvy, Past and Present, Llppincott, 1929) pointed out that mere failure to grow and develop properly, slight pallor, poor appetite and rapid pulse and respiration. In an Infant, should awaken suspicions of latent scurvy. (1 ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Kidney Stone Is there anything to be done to pre vent kidney gravel?

Then his bodyguards go Into action with saps, slung-shots, billy-clubs or what have you. Another gal adds: "He Is very charitable." With other people's money, she means.
