A pearl of wisdom was east fortn
last week by the mother of Miss
Martha IJams, University of Cali
fornia alumna. Martha, in the
course of a controversy, opined that
Frances Perkins, secretary of labor,
was a "mew politician." and the
First Lady of the Land, "a head

fashioned soul, not giving a tinker's
malediction, for what any of the
three ladles thought or said. "I
think," said she, "all concerned.
Including my daughter, should keep
their mouths shut." It was frank,
candid, neat, potent, and timely
advice.

LOS ANGELES, April 5. Travelling via the iron horse hag

a trip without a car is like taking a gnn without ammunition.
The ideal way to take a trip would be to take the train and

some railroad will be smart enough to see this, but we doubt it.
Railroads as a class live entirely in the past, and of all modern
institutions have the least regard for their opportunities in the
immediate present or the future.
It was big news in Palm Springs this morning but it only
rates a stick with a lrmchine head in the Los Angeles papers
tonight. An army plane from March field landed at the El
Mirador field this a. m. for breakfast and took off for home
about 8:30. When about 2000 feet up it had gone only as far
as the S. P. station, the engine stalled, thr. ship went into a

in every small town, didn't.

Ran into A. W. Wamock, P. J. Neff's brother-in-law, who

with none other than A. C. Burch, who is here on personal min

Pacific concerning the proposed tunnel under the Siskiyous,
before he leaves. This sounded to us like a fantastic idea when
first, broached, but after talking it over with Mr. B., it may
not be so crazy after all. Ono thing is certain, it will do no ha nil
to try. and perhaps there really IS a Santa Claus. At any rate,
no one can deny such a tunnel would literally TRANSFORM

could not allow them credit since
they were without required prerequl

John O'Brien, leader of tb senior

In consequence, a course has been
designed for nest year, three lecture

dictionaries to understand what he
wu reading.
Since he first began reading books.
Lltterlo hs had strong desire to
learn more about the sun. the moon,
and th sky.
When hs was 10. he prepared a
speech about atellar spectra and pre
sented It at a meeting of school
teacher. On of th teachera who
heard the Address was curloua to
know exactly how well versed the
child was In astronomy and made an
appointment for him to meet Profes
sor Fairbanks.
Th Interview toon turned Into an
oral examination with th boy an
swering questions which easily would
have stumped a college astronomy
student. Th professor encouraged
th child to contlnu his studies.
When Lotterlo was II, he gsve a
talk on meteorites before the Roches

follow:
Within limi

mean) It la possible for certain
fata to penetrate the unbroken

No, no, child. It is no such voice.
It Is merely the opinion of the bright 1

edit the magazine. When he wants a
notion of his to seem so he refers to i
the notion as "accepted" or "appar- j

We have no controversy as to
whether It la possible for a fat or an
ointment or other substance to be ab- :
sorbed thru unbroken skin. I merely
call attention to the absence of any
scientific proof that auch absorption
occurs. The old guard are the last of
the grand old timers who were given
to "pronouncing" things thus and an

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS.
Superfluous Arid.
I eat a lot of fried apricots. It aaya
on the package "Contains Sulphur
Dioxide " what objection do you hare
to that? (h. J. R.)
Answer Sulphur dioxide la sul
phurous acid, the fumes of burning
sulphur, to which the fruit Is exposed
in drying, for bleaching, and of course
the chemical tends to prevent decay
and mould. Sometimes sulphites are
used Instead having practically the
same effects. I hae no objection to
dried fruit containing sulphur diox
ide, provided one can't afford or ob
tain fresh fruit or dried fruit with
out the chemical addition. Personally
I'd prefer to worry along without any
fruit for a while. If sulphur bleached
dried fruit were the only kind avail
able. Transfusion.
Is It harmful for a man 38. large
build, healthy and with plenty of
blood to give blood transfusions once
or twice a year? (C. T.)

give blood for transfusions several
times a year without 111 effect.

PROVIDES PAIR OF
A and D Found in New
Source by Researchers
Cod Formerly Believed
Most Productive Vitamin
OASPE, Que. ( UP ) The vitamins
A and D, which have been enjoying a
vogue since science bared their hu
manitarian works In the diet, now
may be obtained without scraping the
Grand Banks for cod, because further
research has unearthed the fact that
salmon, too, carry the vital vitamins
around in their livers.
The news strikes home here In
Oaspe. where la caught annually the
greater part of the more than 1.110,
000 pounds of salmon exported from
the province of Quebec.
Discovered by Chemists
Two chemists of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries now tell the
world that salmon are as good as cod
as vitamin producers, especially Inso
far as A and D are concerned. Indeed
salmon haa the edge, salmon liver oil
being from five to 20 times greater
than cod liver oil In vitamin A po
tency, they reported.
Heretofore cod livers have been re
garded as most productive of the
vitamins A and D, and a commercial
Industry haa developed from the
utilization of the cod liver. If the
commercialization of salmon liver oil
la undertaken authorities expect to
make further onslaughts on dietary
maladies.

he thought his bill would go
through. Stories were always cir
culated Just like those which are
circulating now. You may recall
that Mr. Roosevelt never said any
thing about the bill then and It
failed of passage.
The White House mirrors which
ordinarily reflect the presidents
thoughts are conveying an impres
sion that Mr. Roosevelt will choose
a business man as the next post
master general.
Such an astounding thing haa
never been thought of seriously In
Washington before. The Idea of not
having a politician to run the post
office department is a vision which
has been seen only by the radicals
It violates a custom which has been
followed by all modern presidents,
Republican and Democratic.

The Blanton outburst against the
press In the house a few da,ya ago
waa applauded by an unusually
large number of congresmen.
The explanation Is that the aver
age congressman and the average
public official suffer alike from
chronic press-persecution complexes.
Most men In public life have exag
gerated ideas of the Importance of
the things they are doing. Many
sincerely believe that, If the public
knew all about them, they would
be elected president, or something
equally lofty.
But in the recent tremendoua
growth of big news about new deal
doings, the average congressman and
the average public oflctal have been
consigned to even deeper press ob
scurity. Speeches are no longer con
sidered of Importance. Action la the
thing the people want to know
about.
The next major legal challenge
to arrest the new deal will shortly
be made on the constitutionality of
the TV A. The case la now being
prepared.
