Editorial Correspondence LOS AN'GELES, March 26. Hull in "Tobacco Road" at the this was the big dramatic smash the critics predicted it wouldn t last a week. Only shows what an uncertain factor, popular approval can sometimes be. A few years ago Abie's Irish Rose was (bnt for very different reasons), and it broke all records for duration and box office receipts. Tobacco Road projected Hull a very young man suddenly into stardom and eventually sent him to Hollywood where he has just completed a profitable movie contract. N'ow after a few weeks here Hull and Tobacco Road will be sent on a nation wide tour! We would make the same prediction about a road tour for Tobacco Road, that the X. Y. critics made about it first appear ance on Broadway. We can t believe provincial America will ever STAND for it. But no doubt future events will demon strate we know even less about such things than the dramatic critics. t Tobacco Road was written by minister and is a dramatic exposition of one Jeeter Lester and his poor white trash family $ slatternly overworked wife, a half witted degenerate daughter, an incorrigible roughneck son, and others. It has no plot in the conventional sense. It is moro a "case study" in moral and physical degradation, leaving noth ing to the imagination and nothing to the board of censorship. Not only is the dialogue brutally frank, but the action is at times, only a ew steps removed from the barn yard. Yet the Belasco was packed with what could be termed a "representa tive audience", young and old of both sexes, and the applause was so enthusiastic and insistent at the close that Henry Hull came within one jump and a step of making a curtain speech. ..... As for that, Mr. Hull deserved it an excellent example of artistic and realistic characterization. There wasn't a flaw or a false move in it we could detect Jeeter Lester is a shocking stage character, whose utter lock of any moral sense, or real human feeling rather than his ness, one will not soon forgot. In fact on artistic grounds itself. We have no doubt it gives a truer picture of the low white trash problem now existing in the south, than Uncle Tom's Cabin gave of the slavery problem. And it has this distinct advantage over Mrs. Stowe's famous opus, it is entirely free trom sentimentality or clap trap. There is no straining for effect. It is stark realism, holds a mirror up to nature, or what is undoubtedly a department nf human nature in the south, draws the picture, closes the clinic, and leaves the moraliz ing to someone else. Furthermore, strictly on moral grounds. Tobacco Road also has its justification. For certainly immorality is not made at tractive, there is nothing alluring about poverty, sin and de pravity, in real life; there is nothing alluring and a great deal that is revolting in Tobacco Road. And we wouldn't be sur prised if this play would eventually bring about radical reforms in the economic and social conditions of the far South particu larly in the direction of education, birth control, and sociul hygiene. For the normal reaction to such a play we believe to be that of shocked amazement, that in any country calling itsjlf civilized, such conditions could exist followed by the convic- uun, mat somerning suuuijU impossible. Well then what objections fear that on moral or soeinlogieul tor that matter on artistic grounds, for dramatically it is as far as Hull is concerned, (we didn't think so much of his support) a fine piece of work, and the play is undoubtedly well written and true to life. What then J Merely this and we don't he dismissed as old fashioned and sentimental. Somehow if a play like Tobacco Road, CAN, not only pack in the audiences, in our large cities, but "get by" without a riot, .in what are sometimes termed "the sticks," has lost something in moral SENSITIVITY, which slmuM nnt have been lost, and which it is a pity, TO have lost. We don't believe we could sustain that viewpoint in a debate with Mr. Erskine Caldwell, the author, for example, or anyone else. For it wouldn't be so much a criticism of the play, as of the state of public morals and popular taste. However, rational or irrational, mai is tne way we BOYS' PLEA BRINGS OLD ARIVIY HORSES TO Letter to Artillery Chief Stirs Officers Funds Chipped in to Purchase Retired Army Animals WASHINGTON.

He added, however, that army regulations specified that all such anlmala had to be sold. Nevertheless, he arranged with the Field Artillery association, which bought "Rno" and Judge" on the Chicago auction block, to loan the horsea to LeRoy. The association la mode up of active and former artil lery offlcera, who contributed 3 centa each toward their purchase. The coat was 35 for both horaes. "I believe," Oeneral Blrnle wrote, "that If artillery horaes could read lettere and could talk, all those that have grown too old for further duty In their country's aervlce would be asking for the privilege of working for you and Roger. They would be happy to serve you as faithfully aa their age and strength permitted In return for the good home and the kindness I know you two would give them.

THE COSMETIC In the name of the father, the son. the brother and most especially the busbsnd. if any. of every girl In North America, I utter this squawk. It Is high time somebody called for three jeers for an Intoler able situation, and I hope a few of the suckers will say an au dible amen. Here in the 1 y 1 n g - in room where I give birth to the crazy notions that keep this column In hot water, dutch and the best pspers In the country, natu rally I keep , apace m yard wide and two or three yards long cleared where, whenever anything bothers me, I can roll a half dozen somer sault and brush It off. I am quite serious about this; unlike some doc tors, I use my own medicine. But once a year comes an occasion when the good old rolls fall to give any relief, and I Just stomp up and down the rink gritting my teeth, groaning end muttering Impreca tions. This Is when the maddening news comes telling what the nation's bill for cosmetics was last year. Now for goodness sake don't Infer that I'm an old meanle. Nothing like thst, mama er, I -should say, I like my women prim, plump and pulchrltudlnous and I don't go for frumps and frig tits in any case. The woman who does not avail herself of cosmetic art when art would en hance her beauty belongs in the category of the man who neglects to shave and brush the dandruff off his shoulder. But, good gracious, girls, have a heart. If you have no heart, then try to have some brains anyway. In this day of depression, prlvaton and misery, how can any woman with a heart squander money on humbug cosmetics and keep a good con science? These pernicious nostrums are promoted at tremendous expense. and even If the poor working girls chip In a considerable share of their scant wages to pay for It all. It Is a sad thing to see college bred wo men emulating the shopgirls and gum-chewing stenographers for all of which poor father has to pay, no matter what grade or class hla wo men folk belong to. I say every woman should use such artifice as may be necessary to make her look as attractive aa possible, but at the name time she ought to have brains enough to remain unimpressed by nil the beauty bunk.

Bungling Diathermy. At first treatment the doctor took more than a third of the tonsil (electro-coagulation) ... a week later the slough suddenly came away and began bleeding . . . R. M, M. Answer Amateurish work. Skilled specialists In this work do not at tempt to coagulate so large a portion of tonsil at a sitting. Rather they take time and pains and the patient suffers no severe reactions and In due course is rid of the tonsils. Calcium Lactate. On advice of my dentist I started taking five grains calcium lactate three times a day, about a month ago, to shorten blood clotting time. as a measure of protection against bleeding after extractions. Find this has cleared up a sallow, muddy com plexion. Would prolonged taking of the calcium lactate do any harm? Mrs. W. P. B. Answer I do not think so,-but I believe the effect Is the same whether you take It constantly or In. courses of say eight or 10 weeks twice a year. Desirable adjuvants of calcium In any case are sun bathing or ultra violet lamp raying of naked akin, cod liver oil or plenty of the natural food sources of vitamin D, (egg yolk. mtlk, cream, butter) and parathy roid.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS FRANK BRANCH RILEY Is an era tor whom people listen to because they LIKE It, and not because they feel It to be a duty. That ts the highest tribute that can be paid a speaker. FOR years Mr. Riley made an an nual lecturing tour to the East, telling them back there of the beau ties of Oregon, and It la probable that he has brought to this state more people with money to spend than any other individual. His present Job hobby, perhaps, would be a better word la telling the people of the Pacific Coast about the federal housing act. and audi ences come to hear him wondering vaguely what it la all about and go away fired with burning seal to bor row money from the housing admin istration and go forth and build themselves a home. His speeches have that effect partly because he is a gifted orator, but chiefly because he believe what he says. FRANK RIELY. Incidentally. Is still a Republican, and a lot of the new deal be can't see with a tele scope, but he DOES believe In the housing act, and he doesn't permit his Republicanism to stand In the way of helping out with whatever of the new deal he believes to be good. APART of the secret of his success lies In bis sense of humor he Is Irish, you know and he doesn't hesitate to poke fun at himself. He was once asked, he says, to speak before a federation of women's organizations In an Eastern city, and did so. At the conclusion, after the applause had died down, the chair man came to him with a check. "But I can't accept money," he told her. "I am glad of the opportunity to address you." The chairman persisted, but Mr. Riley was firm. Finally she said: "Perhaps you can accept the check and then endorse It back to us for the benefit of our fund." "I'll be glad to do that." he an swered. "And what is your fund used for?" 'To secure better speakers," she answered. HE IS speaking for one of the phases of the Roosevelt new deal but he tells this one: Two newspaper, readers laid down their papers at the same time. "This is a small world, after all," one said to the other. "I see In the paper where two of the RooeveIts met yes terday." (Thst. you know, is a wisecrack based on the fact that the Roosevelt family travels around quite a little). HERBERT HOOVER spoke in Port land recently, and Frank Riley was toastmaster. The ex-President turned to him and asked: "Where do I come on the program?" "You come last." he answered. "That's good," he responded in a relieved tone. "It will give me more time to get over my nervousness." This man. you see, who for four years held the highest position In the world, about whom the fierce light of publicity beat constantly, was never able to conquer stage fright. "As an engineer," he explained to Mr. Riley, "I have been trained to talk to people acros a table, with a blueprint between us, but I've never been able to get on my feet and ad dress an audience without feeling nervotis."

O- Alenderfer, general chairman of the Jackson county five-year de velopment committee, announced this morning that hla committee on Mon day night agreed upon a definite pro gram of development. "This pro gram 1 the most comprehensive 1 have ever seen worked out in Jack son county." stated Mr. Alenderfer. "and the various committees will be enlarged to carry the program out. It was decided at the meeting not to make known the complete recom mendations of the various sub-committee at this time, due to the fact that a number of the suggested thing In the program are recetvrt.g active attention from the committee, and It 1 believed that premature publicity may hinder the work. Five Sub-Committees. The general committee la divided Into five aub-commlttee as follows: Federal agencies. Judge S. B. Day. chslrman: agricultural, W. A. Gates, chairman; Industrial and mineral de velopment, Captain S. M. Tuttle. chairman; city and county, Guy Applewhite,- chairman; tourist, J. Ed ward Thornton, chairman. The Industrial and mineral devel opment ub -committee reported that In It opinion there were certain op portunities for development In this county and a reconnaissance and sur vey will be made relative to ome of the suggestions. The committee also proposed that an Industrial survey be made to secure Information rela tive to industries already here. The federal agencies committee submitted eight projects, one of which was the Siskiyou tunnel project for which It la recommended that a spe cial committee be appointed Imme diately. Agriculture Stressed. Fourteen definite recommendations were made by the agricultural com mittee and the report for the most part is designed to Insure the ralsirg of those crop to supply markets which are known to exist. This re port also calls for one or two sur vey which will be started rmmedl ately. The report of the city ajid county committee confined most of its rec ommendations to those communities In Jackson county outside of Medford and Ashland. In view ot tne fact tha.t nine hundred million dollars is contained In the public work pro gram of the president for t'.it elim ination of hazardous grade crossing, the committee recommended that either underground or overhead cross ings be placed in Talent. Phoenix. Central Point, Gold Hill inrt Rogue River. This committee also made recommendations relative to the ea ts bllshment of small public parks and children's playgrounds. Plan Tourist Lure. A complete report of the recom mendations of the tourist suo-com-mlttee follows: 1. That aa soon aa possible tne district managers of all the major oil companies be asked to mtet with this committee: (a) To arrange for a large meeting of service station men and those selling gaa throughout the county. The purpose of tb meeting will be to sell them on the cenic resources of Jackson county so thut they can pass the information on to the tourist. b) To have the district manager recommend to their respec tive companies that thoy produc thousands of photographs of chls sec tion for free distribution to the tour ist In the gas stations. Tt Is be lieved one company could ttke Cra ter Lake, another Diamond lake, an other a fishing acene, and so on. Pictures should be in colors. 2. Suggests to the Jackson county court that the lower floor of the old courthouse In Jacksonville te con verted Into a permanent puura. 3. That the Ashland and Medford city councils urge local citizens to keep their automobiles off the streets during the tourist season 'n order to provide sufficient parking space f.w visitors. 4. That a strong effort be made st tht time looking towards the com pletion of the William creek road That the garden club of the coun ty be unsea to Immediately ponor a jrrorram designed to beautify the highway In Jackson county. It is particularly suggested that dilapi dated sign and unsightly th:ngs be removed from the sides of the high ways. Many Will Aid Plana. Committee chairmen were author.
