According to the calendar Spring started yesterday, but it really atarted today. Yenterday was a mixture of rain, sleet and wind) today nothing but clear blue sky, sunshine and air like champagne. Auother invitation to see the wild flowers at Rakersfield, but we declined and played 18 holes of golf instead, at Altadena. This is the fourth i.'Hiiie for this trip, and we have yet to find any fairways as eonrl us the fairways on the Medford course. The greens how ever are flat and smooth as billiard tables, perfect for a good "One-putter" like the Hon. Gene Thorndike. Too bad Gene, 1- rank and Raw-lees were not here. 1 hey would have made some nice money. Ye editor broke his hrassie in the rougn and carded a juicy HO I Dined with a university professor at the Athanaum last niirlit, which is a very attractive eating club. The professor was interested to learn that the TownsAid Old Age pension plan is popular in Oregon. He wanted to know why, and our only answer was that many people believed if adopted it would restore prosperity and end the depression. The professor knows his economies and is a atudnt of Amer ican politics. He predicts enthusiasm for the Townsend plan will die down as suddenly as it was aroused, and regards the intensity of its emotional support, as a wholesome sign. Such popular political movements, he maintains come and go but never last long. Sinclair's Epic plan which had such a burst in southern California a year ago, he ay is dead and buried now. He predicts a similar fate for the Townsend plan in twelve months, but with a presidential campaign coming on we doubt that and told him so. However he stuck to his guns, and was willing to wager a dinner on it, so having one dinner to the good anyway, we took him up. The Townsend plan he said reminded him of his small boy Pete who Inst, summer decided to make some money running a lemonade stiind. Pete took on and they manufactured a large sweetened. It was hot, and the several kitchen tumblers, and quite inviting under a tree on the curb. The two hoys tended the stand religiously all day, but when Pete came in that evening he was plainly discouraged. "How is busineasl" he was asked. "Not so good," said Pete. "What was the matter, couldn't you sell anything?"' "We sold it all out.". "Sold it all out and yet business was poor?" "Well we didn't make a dime." "How could that bet" "Well, said Pete, in much perplexity, "I can't understand it either. When I drnnk a glass of lemonade paid George a nickel ; and when he drank a glass he paid me a nickel yes sir, WK PAID KVERY TIM K. But have any lemonade and we didn't have any more money tluin when we started. I jest can't figure it out." That, opined the professor, in the Townsend plan. The only end the depression is to create more wealth by taking money from one pocket and putting it into another. The boys had a revolving fund all right but they had no customers. So they ended just where they started. The analogy of course is not a perfect one, but the incident does demonstrate one very common misapprehension concerning the Townsend plan. Judging by our first week in dent Uoosevelt's personal popularity is now at its lowest ebb since his inauguration. He appears to be suffering his political Valley Forge.

AMIH'I.ANT TREATMENT OF HKKNIA PROVES IIKIHI.Y SICIESKH. 1 Z can think of at leaat a score ot good doctors In various part of the country who are enjoying uniform auccesa with the Injection treat ment of hernia. All of these phy sician are Pel Iowa or Members of the American Medical associa tion. Some or them teach the method to other physicians, either in their private offlcea or In medical school clinics. Mo doubt there are hun dreds of other physicians of equally Rood standing now using thla am bulant method In their practice. Yet the clique of self-seeking pol iticians now In control of the Amer ican Medical association, smug lit tle gentlemen who have plenty ot leisure to tell real doctors what's what and what Isn't, busily circu late lmpropaganda (at the expense of the rank and file of the A. M. A.) calculRtfd to frighten people oft" from the moderrl method and keep them coming to the operating table for hernia operations. One "well known" but. oddly enough, anonymous "general aur geon" the A. M. A. lmpropaganda quotes, appears to harbor a grave fear that Injection of hernia Is "tfangernim procedure" and "might easily result In serious harm to a patient." But he dopsn't divulge just what the Imaginary danger Is, nor doee he tell the credulous layman (to whom the American Medical as sociation directs thla unethical warning) just why or how it might do harm. Of course the hypothetical "well known general surgeon" can't explain the basis of hts fears about this, for there la no danger and the treatment doea no harm. The truth is, and I challenge any "well known" anonymous "authority" the A. M. A. may conjure up to con trovert this with trustworthy sta tistics, the truth Is that the stand ard surgical treatment for hernia is nctualiy as dangerous and aa likely to do harm aa is the ambulant or Injection treatment, in competent hands. Let me make that last part more emphatic. I am speaking here of the work of reputable qualified physicians and surgeons, and not ot the ways of quacks. A reputable doc tor gets new pallenta through the recommendation of his old patients; a quack has to get new ones by appealing to popular credulity. The other day I had the oppor tunity to see thirty patients under ambulant treatment for hernia at the skll ful hands of Dr. Karl E. Kretzchmar in XjOS Angeles. Some of these patients had been cured, of very Inrge hernias. Several of them had been operated upon, with re currence of the hernia. Three of them had had post-operative ventral hernia. Dr. Krptzchmar regards in jection treatment as Ideal for the last mentioned condition. One of the patients waa a surgeon 1 His hernia was apparently cured, after some six or eight injections. He, too, ts a Fellow of the American Medi cal Association and a "well known general surgeon." He expressed him self as entirely satisfied with the treatment, which he had elected in NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By 0.0. Mclntyre NEW YORK. March 35. In the manner of Arnold Bennett's Journal: Some French paper from Win Lark in today. Dr. Fran cols Dubois re cently advertised for toe to re place one lost by a rich client.

The grim part la the doctor selected a g'rl born with six toes. So killed two birds with, one stone. How much should one aak for one's little toe? Me, $10 for the one with touchy corn.

When a surgeon consider these newfangled method from hla own private viewpoint he can see what we're driving at. I remember the disgust with which a colleague of mine com mented on the great number of throat specialists and their fam ilies who came to him for dia thermy extirpation of the tonsils while the same brass specialist were publicly throwing cold water on the method as "dangerous" or "unsatisfactory." I character!? the lmpropaganda of the American Medical association against the ambulant treatment of hernia as unethical because It la unethical for any Individual medical man or any clique or group of med ical men to publish or distribute to the laity warnings or unsub stantiated views against a remedy cr method which la In wide use by other members of the same med ical organization and In equally good standing in the medical pro fession. It 1 Just . as fair and a ethical for me to raise a hullabaloo here against an operation which Is in wide ue by reputable physicians or surgeons or to tell the unsophisti cated laity that the operation la "a dangerous procedure" or that It "might easily result in serious harm" to the patient, as It is for the present regime of the American Medical association to circulate this unwarranted slur upon the work done by many of the most progres sive physicians In the country. But ethic doesn't cramp the styte ot the A. M. A. much. The big shots of the oligarchy take the attitude that the mere mern,bers out in tlte sticks must "do as we say, not ft we do." And they get away with It, too. As many readers know, I have j been impressed with the value of the ambulant method for hernia, since I discovered the fine work in that field that wag done by Dr. Paul Levi of Oowanda, N. Y. Now, after having seen these thirty patient under Dr. Kietzsch mar's treatment and talked with them and examined them, I am Inclined to think any body a bit goofy who voluntailly submits to the radical operation for hernia without first having given the injection treatment a fair try.
